Automatic Transmission Control Module problems of the 2022 Ford F-150

10 speed [t]ransmission issue first noticed w/ milage under 10k. [t] would “slam” while downshifting from 5/4/3/2 when coming to stop. Gradually progressing in severity w/ increase of milage. [t] has now started to miss gears when upshifting from 3/4/5/6, causing a brief lag in vehicle movement upon acceleration as the transmission attempts to keep up with applied engine power. Dealer has always stated this as “normal. ” dealer also states they “can’t replicate” the issue, even though it has now become a near-daily occurrence. The vehicle also continues to perform a hard downshift from gears already stated. Vehicle is very well maintained and driven appropriately. The original purchasing dealer did perform a pcm update as well as replace the original pcm module around 40k/mi, but issue still is not resolved and progressively worsening. [t] flush & filter replacement was performed recently with scheduled maintenance and nothing was noted regarding abnormalities. Extended bumper-to-bumper warranty is nearing expiration at 100k/mi. Safety-wise, while entering upon a highway, loss of speed while attempting to enter has caused near misses in the past, even with enough space given to enter with moving traffic behind. Vehicle slamming down while coming to a stop causes faster than anticipated stopping or speed reduction.

When driving the gas pedal will go dead or not work at all. I will be driving along then try to push the gas at a left hand turn and nothing will happen. I push the pedal to the floor many times and after a period of time it starts to work again. The issue never puts out a code or check engine light. This is a safety issue for not only me and my family but others on the road as well. If the gas pedal was to fully stop working the truck would be stuck and could cause an accident. The dealer told me they could not reproduce the concern, but they did suggest to replace a temp sensor and reprogram pcm which I paid for, the cost was $870. 90.

Issue: some 2021-2023 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 3. 3l engine may exhibit an illuminated mil in the instrument panel cluster (ipc) with otc p0171 stored in the powertrain control module (pcm). This may be due to the software level of the pcm. To correct this issue, follow the service procedure to reprogram the pcm to the latest software level using the Ford diagnosis and repair system (fors). Description: 2021-2023 F-150 3. Reprogram the appropriate modules as required by the software update and service procedure (do not use with any other labbr operations) Ford has current recalls for this issue but my vehicle was not included.
