I have a 2019 f150 5.0v8 with 10 speed trans. On 10/23/2023 my rear axle was replaced and mew engine was ordered on 11/13/2023. Had issues with my engine and the dealer replaced the engine around 80k miles on 4/18/2024. I was also having issues with my transmission having hard shifts and clunking or jumping gears. I took my truck to the dealer with the extended warranty back in OCT of 2024, dealer checked it and I was told it needed an update or reprogramming of the transmission , the reprogramming was not covered by ext warranty so I paid out of pocket. 6 months later In april I took it back in as the transmission was still having the same issues. The dealer did another reprogramming and was told the fluid was low and I again paid out of pocket. Took the truck home and it had the same issues again. Called dealer over and over to get my truck in and was told to wait over and over until they could get a loaner vehicle. After multiple text messages and complaints to them they finally had a loaner for me. This time I had video evidence of my truck downshifting gears on the freeway and loss of acceleration and trans temp overheating with error code popping up. Took the truck in again and sent them the video. After a week I was told my truck is ready and nothing wrong with the transmission just had too much fluid. The truck continues to have transmission issues and seems like the dealer is just pushing me along until my ext warranty expires. The dealership is Suburban Ford in Sterling heights Michigan. The videos I have are too large to upload

Transmission overheated and started sporadically shifting out of nowhere. Going 70mph on the highway in 10th gear and suddenly downshifted to 3rd gear then back to 8th then to 5th then 1st and back to 8th. Truck jerked all around and took all i had to keep it on the road and pull over in a safe manner. Had an independent mechanic come look at it where i pulled over at. He couldn't find any issues. Took it to a local ford dealer afterwards and had them look it over as well and again, they couldn't find any issues.

At cruising speeds on the highway, the transmission will shift from 10th to 1st gear. This has occurred on several occasions, forcing me to pull over onto the shoulder. The transmission will then be stuck in 1st gear until I place it in Park. I sometimes have to shift from Park to Drive several times before it will proceed again. The transmission will also lag between gear shifts when accelerating from a stop. It feels like it goes into neutral and abruptly upshifts. When attempting to accelerate under normal driving conditions on the highway, there is a violent down shift. All of this causes the transmission to overheat. I cannot drive in the city under stop and go conditions for more than a short period of time before it overheats and I have to pull over. I have notified the Ford Dealership and they have confirmed my experience. They have stated this is a common issue but no recall has been issued.

My vehicle went in for oil change, tire rotation and tailgate recall. Now I was told by the dealer that lug nuts had swelled because manufacturer put caps on the nuts which causes overheating. According to my dealership I have 12 lug nuts to replace. Is this reasonable to replace these items on a 4 year old vehicle? My dealership told me they don't make vehicles like they used to.
