The vehicle has a 10 speed transmission which is designed to skip gears in a smooth fashion while accelerating. The transmission has been "chirping" when shifting from 1st to 3rd and very hard shifting from 3rd to 4th or 5th gear and also from 6th to 7th gear. Now the transmission is often not engaging and slipping out of gear when shifting out of 3rd and into 4th/5th and simply disengaging and going into a neutral state. This causes the vehicle to lose power and it will not accelerate. This is a very dangerous situation especially when attempting to merge onto the highway, turning left or any time traffic is behind me and the transmission disengages. This has occured on three separate occasions from 9/12/22 to 9/16/22. I have attempted to have the vehicle inspected by a Ford dealer and the earliest appointment is Jan 3rd 2023!! Another Ford dealer stated I could drop off the vehicle and the diagnostics check would take 3-5 days and they do not provide a loaner vehicle. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to or during the transmission slipping out of gear.

I am getting engine codes that say my cam shaft sensors are bad. I replaced cam shaft sensors but the engine continually loses power, shifts hard, lurches and unexpectedly downshifts. Yesterday, complete loss of power on the highway and I was forced to put transmission into Manual and shift manually to get to a safe location. Placing truck in Reverse from Park causes a loud clunk and jerk backwards. I do not know at any given time if I will be able to safely pull out into traffic.

Truck has harsh shifting transmission, loss of power at times, jumping from gear to gear, decelerating for no reason. Dealer diagnosed transmission problem as below: CDF cylinder sleeve slipped 1/4" causing C clutch teflon seal to blow out of direct support seal groove. Planetary containment cylinder gouged from F clutch friction teeth. Dealer states they will repair transmission. Truck has only 49K miles and is only 3 years old. This 10 speed transmission has recurrent problems with many customers and should be recalled and fixed.

- Laguna Niguel, CA, USA

When accelerating the transmission will grind in neutral. Let of gas and will finally shift in gear. Happened 2 years ago when I bought it new. Now 3 times in the last 2 months. Ford dealers where I live don't have transmission mechanics. Shifts all over the place and has metal rattling noise. Unsafe to drive with just lest then 30k miles.

Driving back from, San Antonio, Tx., to Millsap, Tx., in my 2019 Ford F-150 truck, I experienced down shifting and up shifting hard. It was making driving very difficult and dangerous. My Ford App alerted me that there was a Powertrain Malfunction. The little wrench light came on the dash indicating Powertrain problems. I was very concerned for my safety. I have turned it into, Southwest Ford, in, Hudson Oaks, Texas. I was not told that this was an issue with this year model, nor have I received anything in the mail about it. The Ford Dealership above was where I bought the truck and all the oil changes, ect., have been done. I have researched this problem and have come across a class action lawsuit that describes what happened with my truck. Ford has not notified me to this problem. What else should I do to resolve this?

On a recent road trip, I had a break in traffic to get onto the road I need to get on to but I had to give it a little more gas to get up to speed to not cause the oncoming traffic to evade crashing into me or jamming on their brakes. When I did so, the vehicle paused then there was a big clunk then it shifted into gear and did its thing without incident. Unfortunately, I experienced it several more times when trying to merge onto the highway on short onramps. I searched online for the problem as this was something new to me and realized that it is very common with Ford F150 trucks that have the 10R80 transmissions.

- Boise, ID, USA

My 2019 F-150 with a 10 speed transmission shifts hard between 3rd and 4th gear, 4th and 5th gear. The hard shifting between these gears is for both acceleration and deceleration. The hard shifting is kind of like a slam between gears. The problem seems to be getting worse. It used to only happen occasionally (5,000 miles) and now happens almost daily (23,000 miles). The truck has only 23,000 miles on it.

I was pulling away for a stop sign and the transmission didn-??t engage. The rpm-??s rose but it wouldn-??t move. My Ford Pass sent a message saying I had a power train failure. Shutting it down and restarting got it to move but still had a tendency to slip. I drove slowly 1 mile to a Ford dealer and then the truck wouldn-??t engage at all. The truck had to be towed My son-??s Explorer had a similar failure earlier this year.

- Buda, TX, USA

I had a problem with rough shifting from new but it continued to get worse. The dealer reset the electronics hoping to improve but it didn't help. I left on a trip and after a few hundred miles I received a powertrain failure warning. Trying to complete my trip the transmission would fail to pull, jerk hard during shifts causing it to be unsafe to drive. It eventually stopped completely.

The transmission started shifting down and up uncontrollably while traveling down the highway at 75 MPH. It would bounce between 9 and 10 gear and then down to 5 and 6, all within seconds. Was not towing anything, and it-??s not the first time it-??s happened. A wrench icon appeared, saying -??see manual-??. Transmission temp showed 240 degrees. Within 5 minutes we-??d pulled over and turned vehicle off. As we were slowing down exiting freeway, gear shifting was extremely pronounced.

I was making a left turn onto a busy highway on March 29th, and my truck shut off. A message appeared on the screen that said Auto start/stop shift to P, then restart engine. A battery and wrench symbol appeared. I almost was t-boned as a result of the malfunction.\ I bought the vehicle at Causeway Ford in Manahawkin with 62,000 miles and have only had it for a month. I took vehicle there for repair on March 30th. The dealership claimed they performed a hard reset and was able to correct the issue. I had the vehicle for 12 days since, and the issue reoccured almost causing another accident. I am furious.
