Ford REFUSED to address the known safety issues with the 10R80 10 speed transmission defective CDF drum and defective valve body the whole 42 to times it was taken to the dealership under warranty. Like everyone else with these transmission, Ford and their dealerships continued to lied to all us owners and said it was working fine and there was nothing defective with this transmission.. As of May 23, 2023 Ford issued a TSB 22-2428, TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 10R60/10R80/10R80 MHT Automatic Transmission - Harsh/Delayed Engagement And/Or Harsh/Delayed Shift - Built On Or Before 23-Dec-2022 " Ford issued a TSB and not a recall since they knew the affected vehicles would be out of warranty and they could then charge the owners pay for repair cost of $8,000- $12,000 for a new transmission replacement. Ford refuses to replace these transmission at their expense, if you are out of warranty, which most are unless you have a extend warranty. How it even legal that they aren't required by law to replace these transmission at the full expense of Ford since they clearly sold us vehicles with known defective transmission from the beginning and refused to address when the vehicles were under warranty. Many of us owners can't believe the NHTSA would allow a safety issue like this to continue on our roadways without forcing Ford to recall and replace all these defective transmission at Ford expense.

Went to pull out into traffic and the transmission would not go into gear. It would not go forward or reverse, so I had to push it out of the road. There were no warning lamps on for transmission service.

The transmission began having issues shifting/changing gears at the beginning of March. The gears don't engage correctly, the truck doesn't move, then all of a sudden jerks into position. Very dangerous at the start of a light or turn as the car seems to go; then all of a sudden will not shift and is just stuck in the road. Similar danger when on the highway alongside traffic and the transmission does not easily or smoothly shift, making the truck lose momentum. It is most noticeable in the lower gears.The jerking motion of the truck when it finally catches, or shifts, is quite harsh and abrupt for the truck and driver. There is clunking noise when this happens. The warning lights did not come on prior to the issue or during the initial onset of the issue. It did come on as the condition worsened. The problem is noted with other Ford owners with the same 10R80 transmission. The dealer has inspected and witnessed the issue. Suggested full replacement of the transmission with an new CDF, so the issue doesn't recur. Just outside of the 5yr powertrain( but was within the mileage) so they will not cover any of the cost. If we replace the transmission, it is only guaranteed for two years. Attached is the diagnostic report and options to repair. They have the new, improved transmission in stock.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted with the message "See Dealer" flashing on the instrument panel. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle hesitated while depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was initially taken to a dealer and the contact was immediately referred to the manufacturer for assistance. The manufacturer informed the contact that no assistance could be provided without a diagnostic. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed with transmission failure. The dealer referenced Technical Service Bulletin: 25-2126; however, the contact's vehicle was not included in the bulletin. The vehicle remained unrepaired with the dealer. The failure mileage was 59,260.

Bought a 2019 Ford F150 with 32,000 miles. A year later, I noticed a rattling sound coming from engine. Dealership said I had very little oil. No leaks anywhere. Dealership said I had started an oil consumption test at 10,000 miles. I informed Dealership I did not own car at those miles. Went to Dealership I bought vehicle from to inform them that they knowingly sold me a truck with known issues. Using about 1 quart every 1000 miles. Also, after Fords band-aid they put on, seems to be hesitant on acceleration. Dangerous in busy intersections. Ford refuse to fix a known issue with this vehicle.

My 2019 F150 has issues with both the cam phasers and the transmission. Every time I turn on my truck I get the ford -??cold start rattle-?? because defective parts from the factory that ford has known were defective and later fixed but for some reason my truck was not in the recall. My truck came off the same assembly line and time period of previous CSP or recall programs but my vin was never included. My truck also has 60,000 miles and the 10 speed transmission clunks all the time. I-??m not sure if it-??s missing shifts or what is breaking but everyone with a f150 around this year knows they are common to have transmission issues. Sometimes my truck doesn-??t find the proper gear getting started and will rev high and barely move until it finally gets shift right and gets moving. These 2019 F150 issues are far too common i see them all across the blogs and internet and know a few other owners who have similar issues.

Driving on the interstate about 45mph 10 speed transmission downshifted to 1st almost wreck, dealership said the trans was gone

- Talbott, TN, USA

My Ford F-150 with 5.0 V8, 10-speed automatic transmission, and only 46k miles has been diagnosed by my Ford Service Dept. (Angela Krause Ford in Alpharetta, GA) with the known 10R80 10-speed transmission issue (completely destroyed transmission and drum) and I now must receive a new one. This issue started around 43k miles, but I had no idea of the transmission design flaw that exists. While driving this Memorial Day Weekend (2025) from Atlanta to VA with my wife and twin girls, we were nearly rear ended by a tractor trailer because the transmission would not let me speed up for several seconds. It wasn-??t able to select a gear. When it finally did, the tractor trailer was up to my rear bumper. This was extremely scary and could have been life threatening. There must be a recall issued for this flawed Ford transmission that is in F-150s, Explorers, etc. built before 2022. For owners of Fords that are out of warranty and are expected to pay for this repair is unacceptable. This will financially ruin many people and worse, will lead to a death or more at some point. I beg you to research and do something about this. Thank you.

- Saginaw, TX, USA

Vehicle has 54k and requires a$4000 repair Ford Repair Bulletin 24-2046 I bought the truck with 5k on it and the extended warranty is not transferable Apparently this a very common issue. I think it should be considered as a recall item Thank you [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

- Norwalk, CT, USA

While driving at highway speeds the transmission goes into neutral or downshifts dramatically on its own. My investigation online reveals that this is a common phenomenon with this model and year and I-??m shocked there isn-??t a recall for this safety issue because of the danger from losing control of the vehicle at highway speed. The information revealed that some vehicles can be repaired with a software update and many require a complete transmission replacement. Please investigate.

Truck has 66,000 miles and we are going to have to replace the rear differential bearing assembly, gear and pinion. No reason that it should fail in less than 100,000 miles for a heavy duty truck.

Need software update for Transmission and SYNC to 4 or 5 Speed sensor

- Ardmore , OK, USA

Ford has a current recall on their 10R80 transmission, but not all of the vehicles that have this transmission and are experiencing these problems are included? Our vehicle that has this 10R80 transmission is experiencing the same symptoms as explained in Ford's recall but our vin number is not included on their recall list. Our safety is put at risk because it is shifting hard and falls into neutral just as Ford explains in their recall. The vehicle has not been inspected yet because I have been waiting for Ford to notify us of their recall, which they haven't done yet. There has been no warning lamps on concerning this 10R80 transmission issue, but Ford does need to address it on all the vehicles that are experiencing the problems they list in their recall. Please help. Thanks!

Truck starting shifting poorly past 30 days. Taken to local Ford dealer with 84,971 miles and was told the entire transmission needed to be replaced due to bad torque converter and metal shavings?

- Nicholasville, KY, USA

I have a 10 speed automatic transmission. The last month or so, two things have been occurring. 1. A hard shift from 2nd to 3rd gear, usually but not always. 2. Occasionally it will slip from 1st gear to neutral.
