MY 2010 FORD F-150 TRANSMISSION "SLAMS" BETWEEN GEARS. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT ALLEGES THAT IT CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL THE SOFTWARE ISSUE IS REPAIRED. THE TRANSMISSION SLAMS BETWEEN GEARS, AT TIMES THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SEEMS TO ENGAGE WHEN GOING AROUND A CORNER. THIS ISSUE CONCERNS ME AS IF THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOCKS UP I COULD EITHER LOSE STEERING CONTROL OR STOP DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. FORD IS NOT CONCERNED BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW IN NOVEMBER 2010 WITH 5 MILES ON IT. IN MARCH MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING REPEATEDLY WHEN NO NEED FOR IT TO SHIFT WAS EVEN PRESENT. IT WOULD DROP FROM 6TH TO 4TH ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO TOUCH OF THE GAS PEDAL. ALSO WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STAND STILL IF YOU SLOWLY ACCELERATE THEN GET ON THE GAS FULLY THEIR IS A HUGE DELAY IN ENGINE RESPONSE AS I WAS TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND FLOORED THE TRUCK AND ALMOST WAS HIT BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS UNRESPONSIVE TO MY NEED FOR FULL THROTTLE. I REPEAT THE DELAY ONLY OCCURS FROM A VERY SLOW ACCELERATE THEN TO A SUDDEN FULL THROTTLE FROM A STOP. THE TRUCK IS RESPONSIVE FROM DEAD STOP TO FULL THROTTLE. ANOTHER IS EXTREMELY HARD SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS BAD DROP INTO 1ST FROM 2ND. ALSO HAVE SLIGHT SHAKING ON TAKE OFF. TOOK VEHICLE IN THEY REPLACED SOME PART ON MY VEHICLE AND I HAVE IT BACK WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS, THEY EVEN WROTE ON MY RECEIPT THAT THEY STILL FELT PROBLEMS AFTER THE FIX! NOW THEY ARE CLAIMING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK WHEN I TAKE IT BACK IN. TRUCK HAS ONLY 5,000 MILES ON IT TRULY DISAPPOINTED IN THE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE.
