10R80 transmission failure - the truck jerks in and out of gear and transitions between gear levels can be delayed by seconds causing lack of control
Power train, Sep 25, 2026
While driving on a residential road, my 2019 Ford F-150 (10R80 10-speed automatic with 88k miles) lost power to the wheels – the engine revved but the truck would not move. It did not recover after I shifted to reverse, then park, then shut the engine off and restarted. The vehicle had to be towed. This followed an earlier event on or around July 7, 2026 (at ~86,500 miles) where the transmission failed to downshift from 4th gear at a stop and stalled the engine, recovering only after cycling the shifter. The truck has a history of hard shifting into and past 4th gear for over a year now. No warning lights appeared during these events. The safety risk is that the transmission intermittently loses drive engagement and can stall the vehicle in traffic. When the engine stalls, power brake assist is lost after one or two pedal applications. Had the loss of drive occurred in an intersection or on the highway rather than a low-speed residential road, it could have caused a collision. An authorized Ford dealer has twice been unable to duplicate the fault on test drives, consistent with the intermittent 10R80 CDF clutch cylinder hydraulic leak described in Ford TSB 25-2126. The dealer’s technician suspects an F-clutch concern.

The truck has 55,000 miles on it. The truck shifted very harshly when slowing down creating a traction hazard. The harsh shifting cannot be mitigated by adjusting how it is driven. After a few days a wrench symbol appeared on the dash screen while driving on the interstate, I immediately drove the truck to the Ford dealership after the wrench symbol appeared. Code P07F7 was recovered. I was told that the torque converter is bad and the CDF hub is failing. I was told that the transmission will have to be replaced or rebuilt. The Ford dealerships own transmission specialist showed me how the faulty design is the cause for the break and showed me the new design Ford uses for the replacement parts.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the vehicle was difficult to shift into gear. The transmission was a hard shifting and vibrating. While driving 35-45 MPH, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where the transmission was flushed and fluids were replaced. After 3 days, the failure reoccurred. The Ford customer service was contacted. The dealer informed the contact that there were no recalls associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 151,000.

Can phasers failed. Ford will not accept any responsibility for a known dangerous issue.Ford refuses to help even though they knew about this issue. They did not issue a recall, instead offering a Customer Satisfaction Program so they could dodge responsibility for future repairs. This is a dangerous defect as it can cause an engine to seize up on the highway. I’m stuck with a repair bill in the thousands of dollars and Ford will not even assist with the cost.

2019 f150 with 115,600 miles equipped with 10r80 transmission recently experienced a 10th gear shift down to 1st gear while doing 65mph down a bridge almost causing a really bad accident. Since then truck has randomly and sporadically shifted out of higher gears into lower gears I cannot afford to repair a factory defect.

I am writing to formally escalate my ongoing complaint regarding my Ford truck and the repeated problems I have experienced with it over the years. At this point, this is no longer simply a matter of dissatisfaction with a dealership repair. I am asking Ford Motor Company at the corporate level to take responsibility for reviewing the complete history of this vehicle and the repeated unsuccessful attempts to correct the problems I have experienced. Most recently, my truck was brought to **Salem NH Ford on August 25, 2026, because of the ongoing powertrain malfunction and sudden loss-of-power problem**. This was the **fifth time** I have brought the truck in for this same ongoing powertrain problem. The dealership kept my truck for **ten full days**, from August 25 through September 4, 2026. During that time, Ford provided me with a loaner vehicle. I was eventually contacted by the dealership and told that my truck was ready to be picked up. I was also told that they believed they had fixed the powertrain problem. Unfortunately, that was not the case. ### THE POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION RETURNED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY After picking up my truck on **September 4, 2026**, I began driving it again. Then, on **September 7, 2026 — only three days after picking it up from Ford — the powertrain malfunction happened again**. This was extremely upsetting and frustrating. Ford had my truck for ten days. This was already the **fifth service visit for the same ongoing powertrain problem

The valve cover on my 2019 Ford F-150 equipped with the 5.0L V8 engine has failed and is leaking engine oil directly onto the exhaust. The vehicle was inspected by a professional technician, who confirmed that the valve cover itself is the source of the leak rather than simply the replaceable valve cover gasket. The technician also advised that the valve cover on the opposite side is showing signs that it may develop the same issue and recommended replacement of both valve covers. This creates a safety concern because engine oil is leaking directly onto hot exhaust components. I am concerned that continued oil leakage onto the exhaust could result in smoke or an underhood fire. At this time, I am not aware of an actual fire occurring. The failure and location of the oil leak were confirmed by a professional service technician. The vehicle/component has not, to my knowledge, been inspected by Ford specifically for this issue. I am not aware of any warning lamp or dashboard message that appeared before the leak was discovered. The affected valve covers are composite/plastic components. Replacement of the complete valve cover has been recommended because the technician determined that the cover itself, rather than only the gasket, is causing the leak. The failed component can be retained and made available for inspection upon request after replacement. I am submitting this complaint because failure of the valve cover is allowing engine oil to leak directly onto the vehicle's hot exhaust components, creating a potential fire hazard.

The brake master cylinder on my 2019 F150 had a seal leak which caused all brake fluid loss while towing with my family. Luckily we were able to stop safely, not only for us but others nearby. I know this is a recall that affects vehicles in other years but mine was not included and I feel like it should be because we had total brake failure. This is already documented by Ford recall number 25S37 (which aligns with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's number 25V-236). I feel like Ford needs to expand the recall to other years as it seems the defective part is more widespread to the ones they recalled. I had a Ford dealer replace the master cylinder and brake booster which is Ford's recommendation based on the rear seal leak of the master cylinder. A low brake fluid warning was all that appeared and by the time I was going to safely stop to check fluid level, there was no braking pressure.

Engine failure due to oil consumption. Low compression on bank 2. Changed coil packs, spark plugs and bank 2 Catalytic converter misfires stayed. Took to dealer for diagnostics and found low compression and recommended engine replacement. Now getting new truck because of expensive engine replacement causing me to roll the negative equity to my new truck.

I had my Transmission serviced at my local Ford dealership. After the service I was told the vehicle may shift "weird" for a while as the computer learns my driving. During this time unbeknown to me the service caused my CDF drum to fail. In the time after the service the vehicle shifted hard, which I though it was "learning" as they stated it would. As I was driving I came to a redlight. When the light turned green I started to make my right hand turn. The vehicle moved into the intersection and then shifted to neutral. During this time the lights indicating the gear started jumping around and finally the transmission went into third gear and started to move. By this time cars were waiting for me to get out of the intersection. I then decided I should not drive the vehicle anymore and get it back to the dealer. Before I reach my residence I have to cross a two lane highway. This crossing is at the bottom of steep decent through woods with lots of turns. There is a turn approximately 600 feet above the crossing. From the time you see a vehicle until it reaches the intersection is about 7 seconds. As I started out into this intersection the transmission went into neutral again and the vehicle came to a stop. Again the shift lights bounced between gears and finally settled in third gear and the vehicle started to move. I am not sure how long I was in the intersection but luckily there was no vehicles in sight. Had one been coming down the hill I probably would have been hit. I then took the vehicle back to the dealer and found out what was actually happening with the transmission. I also found out that these transmissions have a high failure rate for this same issue. Luckily I live in a rural area where there is not a lot of traffic. I feel this issue could be a safety concern and though I should bring it to the NTSBs attention.

My 2019 Ford F-150 3.5L EcoBoost with the 10-speed 10R80 transmission has developed severe shifting and acceleration problems that create a safety risk. The transmission frequently appears to skip 2nd gear and bangs very hard into 3rd. This 1st-to-3rd harsh shift is persistent and does not go away after the truck warms up. I also experience delayed shifts including 3rd-4th, 6th-7th, 8th-9th and sometimes 9th-10th. Downshifts into 4th can also cause a hard bang. More concerning, the truck intermittently hesitates and loses forward momentum when accelerating. This happens with light, moderate or heavy throttle. It commonly occurs during the first 3-4 miles but can happen with a cold or warm start. It can also return after the truck has been driven, parked briefly, and restarted. This creates a serious crash risk when I pull onto a main road or merge onto a highway. After I commit to entering traffic, the truck can hesitate and lose momentum instead of accelerating. I must wait for an unusually large gap in traffic because I cannot predict whether the truck will accelerate normally. I regularly have my two young children in the vehicle and no longer feel safe driving it. There are no warning lights. An independent mechanic found the transmission fluid low and topped it off. The PCM/TCM programming was also updated. Neither corrected the problem. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by Ford for this condition and is available for inspection. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this as a potential safety defect because the unpredictable loss of acceleration while entering or merging with moving traffic creates a risk of collision. The hesitation can occur without warning after I have already entered moving traffic, leaving little opportunity to avoid an approaching vehicle. I believe the unpredictable loss of acceleration creates an immediate risk of a side-impact or rear-end collision.

I reported transmission issue to my dealer years ago. It started when I would start the truck in the morning and put it in reverse. It would do nothing than al of a sudden lunge in reverse. Than it would clear up and not do it for several months. I pretty much got the blow off from the dealer. Cold Oil, linkage sticking bs. Of course, now it’s out of warranty. The transmission shifts hard and even slips out of gear. It stalled tonight at a stop light because it banged into gear. I have less than a hundred thousand miles on this truck. It’s not even safe to drive down the road. You never know when it’s going to shift out of gear . Or lunge forward when it shifts into the next gear.

We were about 75 miles from the destination when going down hill the transmission would not shift to the lower gear until we were going to fast and then it would down sift very hard. While going up a hill it would down shift ok but as we got up to speed the transmission would not shift up but stay in the lower gear. Finally at very high RPM it would shift up to the higher gear with a very loud clunk. As soon as we got to our destination we took it to a ford dealer and they said we were lucky because the transmission was on verge of failing completely. Ford has a 60k power train warranty and they said even though it was less than 60K miles my warranty ran out of time 6 weeks ago. If the transmission had failed completely, the car could have had a major safety issue with the trailer behind us. We were not pulling weight more than rated but going up the mountains and the down with only brakes would have been very dangerous. I read that many ford owners are having problems with their 10R80 ten speed transmission in the larger heavy vehicles such as Expedition or F150. Ford Authority reported expeditions pulling trailers have the 10R80 transmission failing after 30K miles.

Despite several transmission services there remains a clunky shift between gears 7 and 8. The problem continues. Other owners of this model have told me that this problem eventually broke their vehicle, and they were left stranded beside the road. Stranded beside the road is a safety risk.

My truck has just under 130k miles. Bought it at 18k miles. At 47k miles I had to have the cam phasers replaced and timing chain fixed. At 76k miles the trans (10r80) blew and had it replaced. At 105k miles I had to have the cam phasers replaced again. Multiple times I was denied through ford warranty. And now ford is turning there back after I had it inspected at Koch 33 ford for a reimburment in just the trans! Please help! When the transmission blew I was doing 65mph and it just dropped to first gear and i had a rear wheel lock up and skid all over. After i stopped i had no foward or backwards.
Power train, Aug 22, 2026
The transmission started to clunk into gear very heavily when I started my drive and then as I was driving down the highway going 60mph, the 10r80 transmission suddenly downshifted from 7th gear to 1st gear, and jolted the truck and I lost all power and it took around 5-7 seconds before the throttle was registering again to pick up speed. A car was a ways behind me but if it had been closer, there is no doubt I would have likely been hit. After this happened, in trying to increase speed back to the speed limit, the transmission would not shift back into 7th gear, and a wrench and code popped up on the dash.

Beginning approximately one year ago, my Ford F-150 has intermittently experienced a serious transmission problem during acceleration. The transmission appears to momentarily lose the connection between the engine and drivetrain. When this occurs, the truck hesitates or fails to deliver power when I press the accelerator, then suddenly and very harshly engages the next gear. The problem can occur when the vehicle is cold or fully warmed up. This creates a significant safety concern because the vehicle can unexpectedly fail to accelerate when needed, particularly when merging onto a highway, climbing a hill, or accelerating from a traffic light with other vehicles behind me. The sudden, harsh engagement that follows the hesitation is also unexpected and could affect the vehicle's stability or the driver's ability to control the vehicle. I contacted my Ford dealer on August 17, 2026, regarding the problem. The dealer indicated that they are familiar with this type of problem on this transmission and stated that their repair procedure is to replace the entire transmission rather than attempt to repair it. I was told the estimated cost would be approximately $10,000–$12,000. The truck currently has approximately 71,000 miles. Although it is no longer under warranty, I am concerned that a major transmission component is experiencing a potentially serious safety-related failure at this mileage. I believe Ford should investigate this issue and determine whether there is a defect or widespread failure affecting these transmissions. Given the nature of the problem and the potential safety consequences, I also believe Ford should provide financial assistance toward the repair, particularly if this is a known or recurring transmission problem.

CDF drum failure and torque converter failure. Started at 70,000 miles by shifting hard going into 8th gear. Now it has completely failed at 81,000 miles. It is a safety concern because now the vehicle goes straight to 4th gear when you shift out the park. Fourth gear is too steep to leave from a stop and can lead to somebody getting rear-ended. This is a well-documented problem for the 10r80 transmission and something needs to be done about it.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted. There was an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle. The vehicle was pulled over to the shoulder of the roadway. The accelerator pedal was depressed, and the RPM became elevated. The check engine warning light was illuminated, and the vehicle failed to go forward or backwards. The contact stated that the transmission failed to shift into the intended gear. The vehicle was driven to the residence. The contact stated that the failure was persistent. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with transmission failure. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer several times since being purchased in 2019; however, the failure was not duplicated. The contact stated that the failure was persistent. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 15,407.

The transmission consistently slips, stalls, and shifts very aggressively between gears, specifically between gears 3-4, 7-8, and 6-5. This occurs at various speeds and levels of acceleration. This puts everyone on the road at risk as it makes it difficult to control the speed of the vehicle. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This was inspected at a Ford dealership and confirmed to be a problem by the transmission specialist. There are no warming lamps or error messages.
