Automatic Transmission Control Module problems of the 2019 Ford F-150

Issues with transmission hard clunking and or shifting between certain gears. Dealer has inspected transmission, and they confirmed issue. They reset the pcm on the transmission and has not corrected the problem. They recommend rebuild of transmission. No warning lamps.

I've been having problems with the power train on the f150 10 speed transmission. There are times that the vehicle loses power and the engine speed drops to nearly zero. This has happened on several occasions while I'm driving into an intersection, or ongoing lane. The unexpected loss of acceleration is extremely dangerous as the oncoming vehicles aren't expecting my vehicle to come to a stop. I believe Ford is aware of this problem, yet nothing is being done to alleviate the issue. It can be an expensive repair. They would have to replace the pcm module and reprogram the vehicles electronics. They have offered up alternative fixes, but none of them seem to work and the alternative fix can be expensive to the consumer. The problem started far in advance before my warranty ran out and yet Ford would deny the problem and I couldn't get any Ford dealer to remedy the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

The vehicle while driving at all speeds is exhibiting harsh/delayed engagement and/or harsh/delayed shifting. I have completed the recommended service of the software update to the pcm however the vehicle continues to have harsh engagement, delayed engagement, harsh shifting and delayed shifting.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving between fourth and fifth gear, the vehicle experienced hard transmission shifts. The contact stated that the failure increased progressively while driving. The contact stated while driving at various speeds and exceeding 4th gear, the vehicle experienced an unintended transmission downshift to first gear, and the engine revved to 5000-6000 rpms even though the accelerator pedal was released. Additionally, the rear wheels locked up. The contact was able to pull to the side of the road and parked the vehicle. The contact was able to resume driving; however, the failure recurred several times while driving. The power train warning light was illuminated, and the message "transmission failure - see dealer" was displayed. The contact stated that the vehicle had failed to respond upon shifting in reverse(r). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the tcm was rebooted; however, the failure increased. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA action number: pe25002(power train). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that only a third of the repair fee would be covered; however, the manufacturer later denied any assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.

Beginning 3 months ago, intermittently during in-town traffic driving, the vehicle will shut off. It happened about once a month. Three weeks ago when it did this, it said low charging system, so I took it to the dealer where purchased it. The alternator tested low, so it was replaced. Two weeks later, it died at a stoplight again & at idle, then the dash message said disengage auto-shut off and restart engine. I called the dealer where purchased it & they came and got it. They tested it for a couple days & also had several people drive it, and they said it did fine with the auto-shut off turned on. Well this afternoon I drove it local around my own town, and it's still runs rough. It idles rough and is acting like it wants to die again at stoplights. I only way to be comfortable driving it is with the auto-shut-off disabled. In traffice at a redlight that turns green, and if you're stalled out, it's going to cause a rear-end collision. Not to mention it's hard on the battery and alternator having to keep restarting at intermittent intervals in traffic. The dealer said they drove it around their lot area, however, it doesn't do it unless drive it for 45 minutes or an hour. When discussed this with 3 area Ford dealers, they all said it's going to be hard to find. There's no check engine light or any sort of code that can be used. They also stated it's probably something small causing it. One specific dealer stated that something else is causing this issue, and until that is found and fixed, it's going to keep doing it. The dealer that's been handling this and purchased from, did a factory reset on the pcm.

While driving the transmission had a harsh engagement when shifting gears and when leaving from a stop later the same day the vehicle would no move when applying the acceleration pedal, then the transmission engaged after a few seconds. The transmission or transmission control module (tcm) needs to be addressed.

The truck was purchased used in October 2022 with 82k miles on it, but it appeared to be operating fine from the dealership. Shortly after the purchase, the transmission started hard shifting and also hesitating between shifts. I took the vehicle into a Ford dealership and they test drove it saying it was normal, but also refused to check the pcm to see if the calibration was the most current from Ford. On February 27, 2023, as I was passing a slow moving vehicle on a highway the gears starting acting erratically, jumping from 8th up to 10th, then dropping all power (while showing that it was in 1st gear on the dash), then suddenly hard downshifting in the pass, almost causing me to lose control of the vehicle in the pass. After completing the pass, a "wrench" light came on, so I stopped at the nearest place I could to see what it was saying. My Fordpass app said it was a powertrain issue, but then as I restarted the truck, the wrench cleared. I was able to make the rest of the drive home, but with extra clunky and hard shifting. I've now taken the truck in for an inspection, but have been seeing online that this is a common problem, which is wildly unsafe of Ford to have not fixed this.

I purchased a 2019 Ford f150 2. 7l ecoboost with 10speed transmission in may 2022 and it only had 19,000 miles on it. When I first bought it, it seemed to drive fine, but less than 3000 miles later the gears started shifting really hard, especially 3rd through 5th gear. I took it to my local dealer and they reset the pcm module and said to drive it because it has an adaptive transmission that it would have to relearn driving habits. Well, shortly after I was on the interstate doing 75mph on cruise control in 10th gear, the truck shifted all the way down to 1st gear, went to limp mode, then revved rpms and went back to 8th gear then wrench came on the dash light. This truly could've been a bad situation and possible accident if I wasn't able to get over to safety lane. I took it to the dealer the next week and they reset the computer again and cleaned valve body. The vehicle still has hard shifts between 3rd and 5th gears, although not quiet as harsh. Ford needs to issue a recall on the 2019 Ford f150s with the 10r80 transmissions or figure it out soon. I'm afraid there is going to be a serious accident, if one hasn't happened already, if these transmissions are not fixed soon. Several states already have class action lawsuits about this particular transmission.

10r80 transmission and ecm/tcm malfunction causing hard jerking shifts and stalling. Vehicle will not accelerate when engine is not at temperature which could lead to a major accident.
