I purchased a left over 2019 in June 2020. The vehicle has been back twice for transmission issues to the dealership. I was told that I have to live with it from a service advisor. The vehicle's powertrain is jerky when slowing down. It feels like a kick when is goes from gear to gear up or down shifting. There is also a loud bang upon start up. I video taped it, the drive shaft twist upon start up. Seems unsafe if the drive pin is the only thing hold a 7000 lbs vehicle or if you start in neutral. Overall the PCM needs new transmission strategy applied. Very poor on Ford's behalf.

From 4th to 10th gear the transmission is hunting / surging. This is worse in a downshift from 10th to 9th and from 9th to 8th. It is extremely aggravating to purchase a new vehicle and have so many problems. The dealership says it is the transmission acting different to my driving style because it is adapted to how my wife drives. That's a terrible excuse for all Ford employees to use because Ford hasn't given them a clear answer. This design flaw should be rectified. This is the dream truck my wife and I have always wanted. We decided to spend a little more than we should have to get what we wanted and we have been entirely let down. Please fix this, Ford. Do the right thing.

I bought new in June 2019 the following month the transmission upshifts downshifts extremely harsh from gears 3,4,5,6 transmission also over revs like clutch is held in when upshifting. Vehicle will drop down 5 gears from highway speeds. When coming to stops it sometimes lurches forward fast almost rear ending cars multiple times. It has been reprogrammed, serviced multiple times, transmission valve body was replaced and still to this day problem getting worse. My Ford shop put a flight recorder in and verified all the issues. Waiting for Ford engineers to fix this issue. 2 other issues that started almost day one was rear differential leaked, four wheel drive solenoids replaced along with 4X4 wheel hubs. My Ford mechanics are great but it's Ford moco that is the issue. My Ford repair shop is waiting for them to provide a solution. I don't hall or tow anything in this truck. It's used like a car.

I recently just purchased my 2019 Ford F150 with the 10 speed transmission. Ever since I bought this truck the transmission has been making this clunking sound and jerks very hard. These trucks are very expensive to have them clunk and shift hard and jerk. Ford needs to find a solution to fix these issues with this transmission. It also lurches when its downshifting which could potentially cause an accident.

High amplitude vibration at various speeds. Most noticeable between 50 and 70mph. I complained about it to the dealership and they determined the ring and pinion gears needed replacing at 4200 miles. Vibration persisted, so I took it back and they tried roadforce balancing the wheels/tires and checking for runout. This did not fix the problem either. Then they tried replacing wheels and tires all together, still with no success.

- Cameron, NC, USA

The truck is 3.5 eco boost with the 10R80 transmission with 3.55 gears. The truck has a bad vibration at highway speeds that varies in severity depending on load in the bed. Downshifts at highway speeds are violent and unpredictable.

- Maumelle, AR, USA

Brand new truck experiencing rough downshifting while approaching normal stops. Also upon beginning acceleration, gears may seem to slip and rev, similar to clutch being applied and engine revving, then catches a gear and lurches forward. On numerous occasions at end of backing up and shifting to drive, felt and heard a loud 'clunk' in rear differential area. Never had a vehicle do any of this. Called Ford service and he said, ' you've never had a 10 speed transmission, have you'. of course not, it is new technology.

I have been reading about the Ford F150 transmission issues and I believe my truck also has the issues of hesitation in shifting, thought I was imagining things but it has been going on since I bought the truck 3 months ago.

Transmission fluid leak two times driving on the highway. Transmission was previously replaced for a front pump noise at 500 kms. Truck has 11,000 kms on it towed in twice.

10R80 10-speed automatic transmission / driveshaft makes loud bang or clunk noise when first starting the engine.the clunking noise continues when you accelerate (light or heavy) and take your foot off throttle the clucks/ bangs are so strong you feel like someone reared you. The automatic transmission jerks and slipped when shifting gears up or down. When city driving transmission / driveshaft clucks/ bangs more because of stop and go. On the highway transmission downshifts and up shifts for no reason and 4 to 6 second delay in throttle response. Have had it to dealership 5 times. First time dealer reset tcm program to "relearn"shifts. Didn't fix problem. Second time checked grease in yolk. Grease full. Still not fixed. 3rd, 4th, and 5th time dealership called Ford "hotline" for repair or fix. No call back or fix from Ford to date.

Transmission shifts sometimes with really bad harsh jerks. At speeds below 50mph most of the time when pulling my boat trailer. This has happened several times in the last several months.

- Marco Island, FL, USA

This has happened 3 times. While traveling on the freeway the truck goes into neutral and won't shift into gear I have to coast to the side of the road and re-start the vehicle and go again. This could be very dangerous traveling at high speeds on a busy freeway with no shoulder.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed the vehicle shifted gears sporadically while the vehicle shuddered without warning. The vehicle was taken to gus machado of hialeah dealer located at (1200 w 49th St, hialeah, fl 33012) where an update of the transmission control module was completed twice and an unknown part was replaced. The failure recurred and was taken back to the same dealer on three different occasions. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200.

Transmission make a loud bang when starting vehicle. Upon acceleration at highway speeds when transmission shifts from 10th to 6th gear it it so violent it feels like I have been rear ended by another car. Sometimes transmission will have a 3-4 second delay to go into reverse and then makes a loud bang when reverse engages. Spermatic hard shifting. All these problems started at about 20,000 miles.

- Katy, TX, USA

While driving the vehicle on a city street it started to accelerate on it's own and I had to slam on the breaks because of it doing that. Again one December 20th 2019 it did it again. I dont know what's causing it to be doing that but I've taking it to the dealership and nothing can be found wrong.

I recently bought a brand new 2019 F150 at larry H. miller Ford draper. And within a little over a month of owning the truck the transmission is now giving me problems. Just recently took it in to the service department, left it there all day only for them to tell me that everything is fine. And since I've had it back the problems have been getting worse. I've been experiencing problems with the transmission skipping gears (2nd and 5th). Staying in gear too long. It doesn't shift down properly, so it takes a lot of power to make a full stop. As accelerate it goes from 9th to 8th, then down to 7th then back up to 9th. And I really have to accelerate it to even shift gears.

The 10 speed transmission is inconsistent in shifting especially when cold... also grabs and clunks if slightly rolling backwards when moved to drive (inconsistent). Creates unpredictable driving situations.

The F150 was purchased new with 5miles on it. The truck broke down on me within the first 16hrs of driving it off the lot. A temperature sensor had failed and shut down the truck while driving 70mph which was not safe I had no control of the vehicle and barely made it to the break down lane. That issue was resolved and the part replaced. A week later after driving the truck everyday for my daily commute to work I started experiencing vibration at highway speeds 60+ mph. The vibration is felt throughout the steering wheel and in the seat you can feel the console and everything vibrate. The transmission clicks, blacks and clunks like like 15yr old vehicle. The shifting is sloppy, jerky and occasionally delayed and will not respond when letting off the accelerator to slow down or change lanes, you will go to hit the accelerator again and the transmission feels like it slips or is delayed. The 10 speed transmission is a poor and unsafe design. Ford needs to be held accountable before these things kill someone. My is scheduled to go to the 3rd Ford dealer this Monday 12-23-2019 they are telling me its a steering damper causing it. It is not a damper causing these vibrations and sounds I have a very extensive background of mechanics and I know a junk transmission. Ford is well aware of this problem with thousands of other complaints from consumers with the exact same symptoms. These are lemons and should be bought back from Ford.

On Tuesday 11/5/19, we were traveling on a highway at around 45 mph when I decelerated to make a right hand turn onto a city street. I had accelerated back up to around 30 mph when I cross over a relatively smooth railroad crossing at a slight left hand turn. Immediately the information center on the console start displaying multiple alerts and the vehicle started decelerating. While the engine did not cut off, there was no power to the powertrain and eventually we rolled to a stop on the side of the road. The vehicle continued to fire alerts. The only way to stop them was to turn the vehicle off. The messages still fired so I opened and closed the door. I restarted the vehicle with no problem and the alert messages had ceased. I drove the vehicle back to the house (approximately 4 miles) at highway speed with no issue. We took the vehicle to the dealership then next day (26 miles) with no issue. Fortunately, our Ford pass app had captured all the alerts and, after a couple of days, the dealership replaced a gas pedal position sensor. We picked the truck up on Friday and it worked fine until the next day. We were decelerating from highway speeds on the highway to turn left onto a side road. We hit a small hump where the side road meets the highway and again the alerts starting firing and the truck lost propulsion. Again, the engine did not turn off and the only remedy was to turn it off and back on. We plan on taking the vehicle back to the dealership but would like for Ford to assess this problem as it seems to be beyond the dealership's capabilities to fix the issue. Since several of the alerts represented loss of safety functions including brakes, traction control, powertrain failure, and others we feel this issue represents a safety issue that Ford needs to diagnose and fix. Several of the F150 forums have shown other users having the same issue.

Rough shifting & clunk noise not all the time but when engine starts makes a clunk noise. Doesn't happen all the time. Also erratic shifting and clunking in driver train again not always.
