2019 FORD F-150 Complaints

10 speed Transmission began erratically shifting not sure the cause but the vehicle went from 10th-1st- 10th losing speed and also shaking the whole truck. This happened multiple times and I am told is a common problem specifically with the 10 speed transmission. This was incredibly unsafe on a highway

My 2019 F150 has transmission issues that concern me about the safe operation of my vehicle. The transmission it was built with is a 10R80. Transmission frequently slips and clunks into gear. The main areas of concern are 2-3 clunk 3-4 slip and 6-7 slip. The CDF drum has had NUMEROUS issues on MANY vehicles that have the 10R80 transmission. This has been a very common issue with the 10R80. When is the NHTSA going to force Ford to issue a recall ???? This has happened with too many vehicles with a 10r80 transmission to not warrant a recall. I entered 3/04/25 as a date this occurred but it is still ongoing.

Driving highway speed (70mph) and vehicle suddenly drops speed to (25mph) and running at 5000rpm and loses all forward drive speed while pressing on the gas pedal. Pulled over and turned off truck and tried to restart it and it took over 15 seconds for the power start to start the engine after pushing the start button, still had no power to accelerate after placing it in drive. My Ford App sends an alert code reading Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power. Towed to dealership to get looked at under purchase warranty agreement. This could have caused a major accident if there would have been more traffic on the highway at the time causing major injuries and/or death, this needs to be investigated what is causing this issue. There are a lot of forums on the internet for 2019-2023 F150 having this same issue reporting/regarding “Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power”, don’t know if anyone else has had it happen while driving at highway speeds or not though haven’t looked through everyone of them.

When I go to accelerate fast the check engine light comes on and the car shakes a little and won’t accelerate at all. This is a saftey issue because I almost caused an accident several times. And this is the second F150 eco boost I have had in a year with the exact same problem

Transmission has been rebuilt twice since Dec 2024. Received truck back from dealer in recent rebuild and transmission still having issues where rpm’s accelerate but transmission not catching. Need to bring back to dealer for third rebuild. What gives?
