Ford F-150

"The 10 speed Auto start stop transmission is very clunky. I will take it to Ford for service."

"When its cold shifting into and out of 4th gear it shifts hard"

"erratic shifting..and forward to reverse.."

"It started soon after purchasing the truck, When cold, the transmission will not engage in reverse, it is like backing up with wheel chucks against your tires. Ford dealer says it is just something you have to live with, dealer has a lot full of trucks with the same problem. If you push the throttle, the transmission will suddenly engage with a major slam, jerk and reverse acceleration. If not prepared to brake, you may hit something behind you. Ford refuses to acknowledge the problem with the 10 speed transmission. I also experienced severe jerky transmission shifting especially with a trailer. To the point I did not want to drive the truck. Ford reprogrammed the transmission and the shifting significantly improved. Ford has reprogrammed my truck 3 times. This is a serious problem, experienced by many Ford owners of the 10 speed transmission. They refuse to address it. A Class action lawsuit has been launched. Ford has been horrible in addressing this problem with the public. I will not buy a Ford Truck, (I've excuslivelly owned Ford Trucks since 1990) until they acknowlege and say what they did to fix it, I will not buy another. I'm extremely disatsfied with Ford. Not to mention I had 3 ignition coils fail this year on a hunting trip from Minnesota to Texas."

"Problem with clunky shifting began around 70,000 km. Ford repaired it, which worked for some time, but the clunking returned. I will just live with it now that I'm off-warranty."

"The truck slams and jerks through the gears. At slow speeds it sometimes takes 1-2 seconds to shift and when it does, the engine revs and the truck bogs out. Rapid acceleration at highway speeds causes the transmission to slam into gear, shaking the whole truck."

"While I was driving down the road or highway, the transmission was 70 shift from 10 to 7 or eight and when driving from a stop after it would shift from 1st to 3rd or fourth or fifth and he would feel it jump from the lower to the higher gears and vice versa. It took three or four months before Ford came up with a bulletin and how to fix it for the dealership so that it could be fixed"

"Started about 40000 miles and got progressively worse."

"gears had to be replaced"

"Rough shifting shortly after purchase. Transmittion computer replaced fixing problem. Rough shifting reappeared in 2024"

"erratic behavior.."

"I was told the computer needed reset. I've had that done when I first got the truck NEW, then again, paying each time."

"Transmission started shifting poorly. Reprogrammed. My issue is how long will Ford support this transmission computer."

"It was a seal in the rear differential. I pull a 6,000 lb travel trailer. At the time of purchase, I also purchased an extended warranty, which covered this leak."

"It all the same problem with the rebuilding of transmission"

"The 10 speed automatic in the 2019 F150 started having hard downshifts by about 10,000 miles. It was very annoying. Ford did a rebuild. Much better, but now about 5000 miles later, its again downshifting hard between 5th and 4th gears. Still much better than pre-rebuild, but annoying nonetheless. Kudo's to the dealership for doing the rebuild without any hassle."

"Transmission was rebuilt, and I continue to have to take it back in for shifting problems or a number of months until Ford manufacturing came out with a bulletin telling the dealer how to fix the problem"

"The 10 speed 10R80 automatic transmission is JUNK, love the truck in every other way but Ford dropped the ball on this one. Widespread issue and mine just happened to fail right after 60k when the powertrain warranty ended."

"Transmission would shift from 8th to4th when decelerating. Then would not go from a standing stop unless rev to about 2500 rpms . Got so bad it had to be towed in to service department . Took 2 1/2 months to resolve"

"Right at the end of the powertrain warranty, I began having some rough shifting. Then just above 60,000 miles it got to where it couldn't find a gear and would jump from 1st to 8th and back to 1st and almost got be killed trying to turn onto a busy street. Ended up having a bad clutch, but new transmission cost almost as much as a rebuild and without the warranty. FORD would not help at all with the costs of the repair."

"Grew progressively worse. Started with a few hard shifts. Then, got lost finding the right gear and would stall out. Finally, beyond safely driving it. Ended up dropping in a new tranie at +$8,000."

"Transmission started shifting rough between 7th and 8th gear. Dealer tried several things to solve the problem. Nothing seemed to work. They then found metal shavings in the transmission fluid. The only option was to replace the transmission."

"Ford has a problem with the 10th gear as it is failing on this model. The customer is left holding the bag and paying for their design failure, whichn is wrong. This problem presents a safety problem for those in the truck when the 10th gear fails."

"Complete transmission failure. Im under the impression that this is involved in a class action was."

"See previous post"

"The horn stopped working. I asked the dealer to check the problem during my next oil change. He estimated $400 in repair, part and labor"

"It started 5/23, when the passenger side door would not unlock even when you had the keyless entry fob in your pocket. Took it to the dealer twice to get it fixed. the second time they replaced the body control module which solved the problem. Was out of service approx. 14 days, while they consulted with Detroit."

"Passenger door did not lock/unlock it took a couple visits to fix"

"Passengers door unlock will not work."

"sensor that allows access to passenger side door stopped working...have to use remote unlock"

"driver door lock does not open when the key fob is pressed. Must push the key fob several times to get the lock to stay open to open the door"

"Starter failure"

"Passenger side mirror motor stopped working, again after warranty has expired. Cannot replace motor, must replace entire mirror assembly."

"Constant problems with the runningboards they keep locking up and not working. I will never get electric runningboards again. Also, the sunroof doesnt open and close anymore. Im afraid to try it because if it gets stuck open, then Im stuck as well."
