2019 Ford F-150

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while running cold, and warming up, the vehicle failed to shift into first gear without jerking after making several attempts. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact that the transmission might fail between 50,000 and 100,000 due to a faulty plate. The vehicle had not been repaired due to the common failure due to parts not being available. The contact stated that several dealers and transmission shops were contacted about purchasing the part for the repair. The failure had gotten worse, and the transmission failed to shift into gear intermittently. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 101,000.

Transmission failure which resulted in significant loss of power when shifting gears while pulling onto a major road. This caused the vehicle to stall which could have resulted in multi car accident as well as harm to those in vehicle(s). Additionally, there have been multiple hard shifts when accelerating as well as loss or skipping of gears when traveling on the interstate. This has also happened from a stop when turning at intersections, with the transmission falling out of gear completely while driving, causing an unexpected loss of power in traffic. There were no check engine or warning lights prior to these incidents happening. The vehicle has been inspected by a Ford dealership who confirmed a new transmission was necessary and said this model is a design flaw and there are known issues with this particular transmission. The check engine light will randomly come on then go away. Fortunately it had come on the way to the dealer for inspection so they pulled the truck right back and ran diagnostics.

10R80 transmission is failing for the second time since vehicle was purchased new (special order) from Ford Motor Company. Once at 36,000 miles and again at 75,000 miles. Based upon information and belief the CDF drum is to blame. Among other commonly exhibited issues the transmission is randomly and unexpectedly failing to move the vehicle when in traffic, when trying to merge into traffic, and when trying to safely navigate an intersection ... creating a hazardous condition for myself and other motorists. With so many 2018+ F150 vehicles having the same transmission issue, when is NHTSA going to do something about it?!

When pressing the gas pedal to accelerate , the truck will not accelerate rather it begins to rev the engine loudly (as if the gas pedal was being pushed while the truck is in neutral) the RPM shoots high to 6-7 (again the truck isn’t accelerating any faster just loudly revving,) then the truck jolts as if it has just been rear ended. The shifting is stuttering staying stuck in 3rd and 4th gear severing going back to 1 even at a stop. Vehicle messaging alerted 1/10/25 powertrain malfunction /reduced power . However this issues has been going on and Ford Said it was related to a 4x4 control module which was replaced and yet the issues continue. Brought it back to ford because the problem was not fixed and they are asking for payment of additional diagnostic testing and NOW saying it’s a transmission issue AFTER saying it was issue with the control module unit. Work was completed 10/2024 at Ford

Fords 10R80 transmission has had known issues that are safety defeats and for years Ford has lied to me that there is nothing wrong with the 10R80 transmission. That they were " Characteristic of the transmission" to avoid fixing the problem under warranty. May 26 2023 Ford released a TSB acknowledging the known issues with the 10R80. (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) But as Ford is aware most vehicles are out of Factory Warranty and many lost the whole year of warranty because of the lock down of 2020 ( which Ford didn't give us credit for) so the repair was issued as a TSB then a recall to avoid paying for this repair. The repair is around $7000.00 and Ford now expects customer to pay half to all of this repair for defective and unsafe parts they failed to address when these vehicles were under factory warranty. My vehicle alone was in and out of dealership over 18 time regarding all of these transmission issues like many others. This need to be a recall not a TSB, and Ford needs to address this issues on they dime, not the consumer they lied to for years about this problem.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving on a residential street at 15 MPH, the transmission began to shudder and stalled. The power train warning light was illuminated. The contact proceeded to pull over onto the side of the road to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was driven to a local dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed, the contact was advised that a leak in the CDF Drum was responsible for the gears not shifting properly and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 102,000.

The Transmission failed. Before the mechanical light went on. As I was driving the vehicle it was having issues switching gears. And at times would loose power and then rev up and speed up. Loss of power and speeding up is a dangerous and frightening situation in a vehicle going at any speed and even more so while traveling on a highway. I had the vehicle towed to the nearest Ford dealership. In speaking with the service manager they recommended replacing the transmission due to the error codes that were produced in the computer. They stated that this was a common issue in this make and model and a replacement would be the best option to avoid future issues. And after researching the issue online there are many people having this same issue. It’s a $10,000 fix and FORD is aware of it and yet there still is no recall on the failure in these transmissions!! Error codes P2703; P2705; P0767

The contact owned a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the transmission was skipping between the 4th, 7th, and 8th gears. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that while driving and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle was jerking and lurching forward significantly. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times; however, the failure could not be replicated. The contact stated while accelerating from a complete stop and making a turn, the vehicle failed to respond as needed and rolled to a stop in the middle of the highway, nearly causing a crash. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle several times, and the contact was able to drive to the dealer at a significantly slower speed. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then taken to another dealer, Fort Mill Ford (801 Gold Hill Rd, Fort Mill, SC 29708), where the transmission was replaced. The vehicle was repaired. Additionally, the vehicle experienced cam phaser failure and was sold due to the repair cost. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
