The transmission slips in and out of gear "slamming" the vehicle and causing the vehicle to swerve out of control in certain situations.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford f-150. The contact stated that while on a slight incline and attempting to accelerate forward in third gear, the vehicle would roll backward.

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.
2010 ford f150 platinum. Been in ford shop twice for transmission disengagement prior to accelerating and after stopping....also between shift-up points under acceleration...shop has reprogrammed trans both times, disengagement upon acceleration now okay, remains on shift-up points as if the trans freewheels for 2-3 seconds...RPM's rev & trans engages with a abrupt "bang"...am taking it back in for third time....causes rear wheels to loose traction on ice and feels like losing control....at 20k miles problems continue.
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.
Started vehicle in park, on flat ground inside of garage, emergency brake applied, exited vehicle, left drivers door open, walked to passenger side, opened the door, heard a pop sound, vehicle began going in reverse, drug door down garage wall, door caught, got folded back to front panel, hole the size of door clear through the garage wall, broke garage door framing, tried to jump into truck to stop it, when door flung back knocked me to the ground and truck ran over my foot, son heard noises ran outside and was able to run across the street and stop truck within a foot of hitting neighbors house... Truck door destroyed, front quarter panel destroyed, garage wall, inside and out, garage door framing destroyed, and bruised swollen foot.
I purchased this truck new december 2010. Its first problem was that on three separate occasions it stalled and died approaching a red light. I took it in and the tech reprogrammed the engine. I didn't have a problem for a month until today. Todays problem scared the crap put of me. I was cruising down the road at 70 MPH when my truck shifted down from 6th gear to 1st. I fish tailed and almost lost it.I was going down a hill, it wasn't a very steep decline. My truck while cruising and going down hills usually shifts down one gear acting like an engine break to keep my speed from increasing. Today it went right from 6 to 1. Thank god no one was behind me or they would have plowed me. I got pulled over and started my engine, everything was fine. I drove for a little while longer and pulled over called roadside assist and had it towed to my local dealership. I purchased a ford because they are supposed to be safe and dependable. The truck has 9500 miles on it.
On 02/25/10 my p/u had 2214 miles, I complained of clunky shifting gear hunting and 2 second hesitation when push accelerator down for passing. Ford ,diagnosis every thing normal. I am living with this nightmare. I have been professional driver since 1976. 02/26/11 back into ford with clunky tran. And 2 second hesitation when passing at 50 MPH. Found no problem. 02/02/11 back into ford same symptoms told them I want to ride with tech. Did not allow ride with tech service writer and service mgr. Said they experienced my problem. Told me come back when trans. Tech available. Then wrote my invoice to read unable to duplicate? Ford I believe has issued talking points to all locations to cover up the fact that there is problem! This is serious because many times in an emergency situation you accelerate instead of brake. So when you go to accelerate and have a 2 second delay in pedal push down to when the computer reads what to do and gives you passing gear you could be run over! Please help my vehicle listed for 46,000 plus paid 40,000 for it. Consumers in america should not get fleeced like this without consequences. Thank you, how ironic I've always been a chevy guy until this nightmare!

Tl*the contact owns a 2010 ford f-150. While driving approximately 72 MPH, the vehicle jerked and began to fishtail. The contact realized that the wheels were locked so he shifted into neutral and allowed the vehicle it to roll to a stop. The contact shut the vehicle off and when it was restarted, it would not shift into gear. After repeated restarts, the vehicle was able to be shifted and was taken to an authorized dealer. The contact was informed that the vehicle shifted from sixth gear to first gear which caused the wheels to lock. The transmission was repaired. The current and failure mileages were approximately 12,000. The VIN was unavailable.
2010 f150 erratic and hard down shifting. In stop and go traffic vehicle often lurches forward. Eventually will cause minor crashes unless one drives with extreme care. Ford blogs are full of similar complaints, yet dealer says there are no problems.

2010 ford f-150 supercrew develops a significant shutter/vibration in the transmission when the vehicle is at 1100 RPM and speed is 30 - 36 MPH. Ford dealership replaced the torque converter at 8000 miles, vehicle now has 16,000 miles and the same issue is occurring. Dealer verified that torque converter is the issue. Dealer contacted ford, and ford states," do not replace the torque converter and that at the current time they are aware of the problem and attempting to come up with an engineering solution."
After passing a vehicle my truck did not slow down but sped up. My foot was off the pedal and I picked up speed from 45 to 70. Rpm's were very high and the brakes would not stop it. I pushed the accelerators pedal several times verifying it was not stuck. I then shifted into neutral and came to a stop. Rpm's went from 5k plus to 4k in neutral sitting still. The RPM's continued at 4k until I shut off the engine.
2010 ford f150 was parked in a parking lot of movie theatre, based on the information from police and witness the unoccupied vehicle began to roll forward striking another parked vehicle. Dealership states that there is no way vehicle should have moved since the keys can only be removed when the vehicle is placed in park and the keys were in the owners pocket in the movie theater.
A) 03.15.2010. Ford f150 platinum extended cab. Steering is extremely stiff/spongy/hard to turn off-center. Must constantly fight side winds and road crowns. As if only 10% power assisted. Dangerous as required constant attention to steering. Others who have driven it comment the same and will not drive truck again. Dealer claims it's "normal" for all ford f150's with no correction. Dangerous as when transferring to other vehicles with full power assist, one over-steers and quickness and is difficult to re-acquaint. B) drive line/transmission/etc. Does not engage on inclines, slips & chatters into "full" engagement, shudders 1-3 times at stopping & starting. Ford dealer cannot locate problem...no repair attempted. Independent trans. Repair firm says it's a drive line bind releasing...possibly a drive line miss-alignment at transmission out-put shaft spline, and or loose engine/transmission mounts. Danger that transmission may disengage without warning at any time.
