10 speed transmission shifting erratically between gears sometimes delayed shifts other times hard shifts. Transmission has also went into neutral while in gear. Dealer says my vehicle isn't affected by current recalls. I'd strongly disagree. Dealer says CDF drum needs replaced likely due to CDF clutch drum bushing movement blocking flow of fluid to properly operate transmission. Dealer was asked if there is an updated part number to fix issue of bushing movement. I was told no. I asked Dealer if it was likely this could happen again and was told yes. Vehicle currently has 62,137 miles.

Engine randomly ratted and sometimes sounds like a loud sewing machine when first started up. Transmission skips gears and bangs into gears. Transmission has downshifted while driving causes fear and momentary loss of control. Transmission over heats while towing my camper. Truck is rated tow my camper. Engine misses while under load. I fear I will be broke down along side the road. Trade in value for a truck that operates properly has left me with an unsafe situation and a financial loss.

At cruising speeds on the highway, the transmission will shift from 10th to 1st gear. This has occurred on several occasions, forcing me to pull over onto the shoulder. The transmission will then be stuck in 1st gear until I place it in Park. I sometimes have to shift from Park to Drive several times before it will proceed again. The transmission will also lag between gear shifts when accelerating from a stop. It feels like it goes into neutral and abruptly upshifts. When attempting to accelerate under normal driving conditions on the highway, there is a violent down shift. All of this causes the transmission to overheat. I cannot drive in the city under stop and go conditions for more than a short period of time before it overheats and I have to pull over. I have notified the Ford Dealership and they have confirmed my experience. They have stated this is a common issue but no recall has been issued.

I was driving down the road at 70 mph and my 10R80 transmission rapidly downshifted to 1st gear. This is on top of the erratic shifting and driveline vibration from the CDF clutches which ford said tough luck on getting repaired/warrantied after they announced they fixed with a redesign, but also after being told "nothing is wrong" until after the warranty has gone out.

I was driving 75 when it first happened. My transmission went from 10th gear and down shifted to 1st gear. Then threw my check engine light and reduced power. I pulled over shut the truck off and the reduced power went away. However the check engine light stayed on. It’s happened multiple times. I took it to a ford dealership to check it out and they wanted 1k-1200 just to tear into the transmission to see without identifying that was 100 percent gonna fix it. I’ve seen where other 10 speed 5.0s have had the same issues. It got to where you can’t even drive it bc it would shift down while you would turn into an intersection a downshift putting you in major danger of ther vehicles. so it’s at an independent shop right now.

The transmission on my 2019 F-150 truck hesitates and slips out of gear. This started in 2020 and is occurring more frequently now. About 2 weeks ago I was traveling on the highway at approximately 55mph when the transmission unexpectedly seemed to slip into Neutral and the truck no longer responded to the gas peddle. I had not touched the gear at all. The vehicle began to coast and I felt I had no control of it, putting my safety at risk of a crash on the highway. Before I could attempt to pull off the highway, the transmission shifted back into drive and began to respond to me pressing the gas. In 2020 the vehicle was taken in for assessment for gear slipping and I was told nothing was wrong with it. I recently went for repairs this week and the dealership indicated that there is a likely a transmission problem, however, they are so backed up with transmission complaints that they can't get to me until mid-July. There are/were no warning lights illuminated.

My transmission started slamming down into first gear while driving down the road and almost caused me to get it hit. It also was having hard shifts and slamming into gears. I tried to get ahold of ford and they said they were months out from getting it in the shop. They finally got me in to get it looked at and they said my transmission needs replaced and it’s gonna cost almost $9000.00!! My truck only has just over 60,000 miles and they said they won’t cover it.. I seen where they have had recalls on all the year models except for the 2019.

The engine has a bad rattle on every first start (or cold start). There are a ton of posts about this issue, and it sounds like it's a bad cam phaser that's prevalent on all F-150s built between 2017 and 2020. If there are so many trucks affected, then why isn't there a recall in place from Ford? It looks like Ford had some type of extended warranty issued through Jan 2023, but then that stopped. Here is more information on the issue: Ford is aware of the Cam Phaser problems and has issued a technical several bulletin to address the complaints and provide warranty repairs. According the Ford Cam Phaser Technical Service Bulletin Program 21N03 (TSB): “In some of the affected vehicles, an undesirable noise may develop from the cam phasers in the 3.5L GTDI engine. This noise might occur as a rattle when starting the engine after the vehicle was turned off for an extended period of time or as a knocking noise when the engine is idling after it is warmed up” In addition, the Ford Cam Phaser TSB has established a program which extends the warranty coverage of the engine cam phasers until January 1, 2023.

On my way home from work on 5/29 while driving on the freeway my 2019 Ford F150 with 79k miles on it began to shift weird and feel like the transmission was slipping. I got off on my exit and stopped at the stop light at which point my truck shuddered and shut off flashing an "Auto Stop/Start, put the vehicle in park and restart engine" warning. The light turned green and I restarted the engine and it shuddered and died again with the same warning. I restarted the engine and it seemed to work. I decided to drive the last 1 miler to my house. The next morning I took the truck to the Ford dealership. On my way the truck was hard downshifting, knocking, and then went into limp mode in the middle of an intersection. I pulled over and restarted the engine. I was able to get it into gear and drive to the dealership. On the way the truck downshifted from 6th gear to 1st gear on its own at 40mph. I was on the freeway when this happened. I was able to keep driving and the truck shifted into 10th gear. after a few seconds it then downshifted from 10th gear to 1st gear. I placed it in neutral to avoid getting rear ended or destroying the truck. I barely made it to the dealership. The dealership informed me 2 days later that the transmission was blown. They found chunks of metal in the transmission fluid and the following codes were displayed: P0767, P2535/P2703. No warning lights came on until the 10th to 1st downshift right before I made it to the dealership. This was a highly unsafe s

Passenger Side Cowl Seal Failure. The passenger side cowl seal fails. When this happens water can enter the vehicle and pour into the BCM (Body Control Module). Once water enters the BCM, it creates corrosion and will needs to be replaced along with the reprograming of all the keys. This is available upon request. My safety and the safety of others is put at risk because when water enters the BCM it causes the computer to short out. When this happens the horn will start beeping and the lights start flashing. This also sets off the vehicles security system. This happens when the vehicle is parked and turned off and when the vehicle is in motion. This puts people at risk because their security system will go off and will make owners think that their vehicle is being vandalized. While the vehicle is in motion the risk is that the horn is on and the lights are flashing making other motorists distracted and potentially causing accidents. The problem has been confirmed and reproduced by the dealer. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealer and an new seal needs to be installed. There were no warnings until the issue started creating a very scary driving experience in which the horn was on and the lights were flashing. the only way to make it stop was to disconnect the battery rendering the vehicle unfit for the road

The component in question was the transmission. It will take a month to get a new transmission installed. It is available for inspection and I have documentation from the shop. I was traveling in the center lane on I5 in heavy rain when the truck began to shift hard. After a few hard shifts I lost consistency with applying the throttle. The throttle would not respond and the truck would not accelerate. The traffic behind me (it was 5pm rush hour) was honking and swerving around me including semis. I was attempting to get over as soon as possible but with the loss of consistent acceleration and hard shifting with quick loss of power made the safe exit off the freeway a dangerous situation. Not every car could see I was in the center lane with my flashers on due to the rain and semi behind me. So when I would attempt to get over traffic that was cutting around in the slow lane would go flying by me and some expressed frustrations. The truck was brought into a shop and the issue presented on their first drive. The codes that were thrown and the hard shifting with loss of power caused them to determine it was the transmission. The shop has experience this situation with the transmission a few times in the last month they explained. The also showed me the burnt transmission fluid a d all the TSBs associated with the issue.

I have had numerous issues with the transmission on this truck. The truck has been to dealerships ever since I bought it for transmission issues. New issue occurred this week while going 75mph and continually as I decreased speed down to 60mph. While driving at the high rate of speed the transmission would go from gear 10 straight to 1, causing the RPMs to spike and Redline once. This occurred 5 times during my drive within about 15 minutes until I was able to stop and leave the truck. No leaks of any transmission fluid was found and truck has had all of its annual inspections and work done according to Ford maintenance timelines and all work on truck has been done at Ford dealerships. I have complained to many dealerships about my transmission. One of the times the gear shifted to from 10 to 1 for a few seconds and then straight back to 10 after the RPMs spiking was recorded on video.

Wrench light came on. Skipped shifts and over revs. Truck has been at Ford service for a month. Parts ordered. Tore into and ordered more parts. Truck has 69,000 miles so it is 9,000 miles outside of powertrain warranty. Estimated repair cost is $4,800. FORD customer service offered nothing beside we're sorry. Truck has not shifted right since day one. Ford did a transmission reprogram flash at about 10,000 which helped a little.

What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
