Transmission shudder, feels like driving over rumble strips, reducing power and causing vehicle to slow, sometimes causing engine to stall. When it occurs in traffic and/or at highway speeds can cause dangerous rear-end collision. The vehicle is at the dealership/service department now. No warning light, symptoms began suddenly and have increased in frequency and severity since first occurring less than 100 miles ago.

2019 F150 10 speed automatic transmission needed repairs for hard shifting at 45k miles, and a complete rebuild at 85k for major failure.

The 10-speed automatic transmission (10R80) in my 2019 Ford F-150 has failed and now requires a full replacement costing. Transmission failure while driving can cause sudden loss of propulsion or power, resulting in a dangerous loss of vehicle control on public roads. This is a known safety defect affecting many 2017–2020 F-150 models.

I’ve been experiencing harsh shifts between 1st and 3rd. Slip shifts and delayed engagement between 5th and 8th gears. Recently I just experienced no engagement at all while accelerating from red light loss of complete power and slippage. Truck just stopped accelerating which could cause an accident. I got no warning. This is not a new problem. It’s an ongoing issue that needs to be rectified before serious injuries. 10R80 transmission. CDF drum bushing failure and outer casing putting metal shavings in unit causing valve body damage.

Check engine light came on with a message to the Ford App for "powertrain malfunction". Took vehicle to Paul Miller Ford Dealership for comprehensive diagnosis. Diagnostic report indicated Gear 4 incorrect ratio. Transmission failure of CDF Drum. Transmission needs to be replaced. Dealership quoted $10,140.54. This is a know issue by Ford, as the 2018 F-150 with 10 speed transmissions have a recall. The truck has 84,249 miles on it. The truck was purchased new in July 2019. The vehicle puts drivers and passengers at risk by stalling, fire, or hard shift in traffic putting safety of others in harms way. Potential injury from accident

Harsh/Delayed Engagement And/Or Harsh/Delayed Shift Very hard shifting from 3-4 and 7-8 to suggest CDF drum failing

After stopping at a red light truck acted like it was in neutral. I got the orange wrench icon on the dash. I had to pull over and stop and restart. Seems to be a known problem

Transmission slips out of gear when in stop and go traffic Searching random gears while driving Slips when trying to accelerate

Transmission shifting is erratic at the best times and likes to randomly downshift from 10th gear to 1st gear and having to take drastic action to avoid a serious rear end collision in heavy traffic as many others who've reported the same issues. Ford is VERY aware of this issue but will not address it for most of the owners. The issue is well enough known Ford has had issued many TSBs but limited the action to a handful only with the most recent being TSB 22-2428. They have publicly stated the problems with the 10R80 Valve body and CDF clutch assembly, corrected it, but will not make it right with the thousands of owners. I contacted my dealer, who forwarded me to Ford corporate. I was informed that Ford WILL NOT do anything about it, and I was advised by the Ford CSR to make a complaint here. Will the US government hold Ford accountable; probably not unfortunately as looking through the endless history of reports here shows this is probably a wasted attempt. I have tried to upload PDFs of documentation, but the system WILL NOT accept them.

Driving on highway, felt transmission slip. Went into limp and could only go 40mph. Pulled off highway and had truck towed. Transmission failed.

When transmission is cold it falls on its face going into 3rd and will shift from 3 to 7th back to 1st til warm once warm it shifts better but harshly into 3rd gear

While driving my truck hard shifts from 3-4-5 and also at 8-9. It seems it misses shifting from 1-2-3 missing 2nd gear all together. At high speeds the transmission has slipped out of gear. I have called Ford and reported the issue as I was looking to see if this issue was recalled. Ford stated they were aware of the issue but no recalls were issued. I was forced to seek help from a transmission shop and incurred a huge bill replacing the CDF drum and rings.

Transmission 10R80 2 times now my transmission has slipped while trying to accelerate from a stop entering the flow of traffic. Both times it has happened after the transmission has warmed up to operating temperature. No it has not been confirmed or inspected by a dealer or independent service center. There has been no warning lights or messages. The transmission irregularly slips shifting to 3rd gear shortly after a cold start up before the transmission has fully warmed up.

Problems with truck shifting, hard shifting. Truck engine reving up when driving and you try to accelerate, like it was in neutral. Transmission making loud clunking noise and jerky stop when coming to a stop. I thought I had been rear ended.

My trucks transmission cdf drum would cause a sudden down shift to first gear while driving.

This vehicle is currently in the shop and the tech is saying we may have to have a transmission replacement. The tech also stated that Ford knows there is a issues with these transmissions and they have not corrected it or made any improvements. Also, Ford will not issue a recall. The vehicle has a very hard shift and is dangerous to drive and it also completely shut down on us, putting our life in danger. We do all the proper maintenance and upkeep on the vehicle at a Ford dealership. This issue is very disappointing as these are "American made" vehicles.

Originally when I got my vehicle would sometimes have troubles shifting into 4th gear where it was real clunky. As I came up on 80,000 mi, it has now gotten much more clunky and noisy for a lot of shifting. It will skip second forth gear regularly and at times it will go into 7th gear at less than 25 mph. It has slipped out of that gear as well and then the RPMs will go up to 4-5,000. I've also have had, luckily at lower speeds in town, the gear shift from 8th all the way down to one and then jump around causing the vehicle to be jerking severely. I sometimes will have it go into limp mode and other times it just props up the service morning. Most recently it seems to just slip out of gear and the engine revs high with nothing that I can do even with my foot off the gas.

The 10R80 transmission on the F150 has extremely erratic shifting, which occasionally results in delayed shifts or what feels like no acceleration when gas pedal is pressed. Turning left through oncoming traffic, I've had the transmission hesitate for moments before engaging, resulting in almost being hit by oncoming traffic. I've also had the delayed shifting AT SPEED cause the vehicle to temporarily slow down which almost resulted in being rear ended.
