The vehicle suffered a sudden and dangerous internal transmission mechanical failure while driving. While attempting to clear a busy intersection, the 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission unexpectedly "neutraled out," causing a complete and total loss of forward motive power. The engine revved freely, but no power was sent to the wheels, leaving the vehicle completely stranded in the path of oncoming traffic. This created an immediate, life-threatening safety hazard, nearly resulting in a severe T-bone collision before the vehicle could be safely moved out of harm's way. The vehicle was driven directly to a certified Ford dealership, where technicians officially diagnosed the issue as a migrated CDF clutch drum bushing, an internal defect heavily documented under Ford Technical Service Bulletin TSB 24-2101. The failure occurred with no prior dashboard warning lamps or warning messages. The defective component is currently at the dealership and is available for inspection upon request.

I've had 4 transmissions since I bought truck in april. This is absurd. It jumps from 4th to 10th gear and slams back down randomly. Wrench light is back on in under 500 miles. Help!

i brought my car to the Ford dealer for a noise it was making. Truck was to dealership and i have been called several times with new estimates for the repair. Dealership sent me a video after initially telling me it would be a $6500 repair, they called to tell me it would be an $8500 repair. Now they want $ 10,500 for the repair claiming the cam phaser was bad and now that the engine is back together a cyclinder is bad

I am filing a safety complaint regarding a known manufacturing defect in the Variable Cam Timing (VCT) system of my 2019 Ford F-150 equipped with the 2nd Generation 3.5L EcoBoost engine. The vehicle currently has approximately 80,000 miles. The vehicle is experiencing severe cam phaser degradation due to failing internal locking pins, a widespread issue previously acknowledged by Ford under Customer Satisfaction Program 21N03. This mechanical failure causes a violent rattling noise upon cold starts, indicating a lack of oil pressure retention. More critically, as the component degradation worsens, it causes significant engine lag, severe hesitation during acceleration, and intermittent stalling. This presents a severe safety hazard, as the vehicle has experienced sudden power loss and hesitation while attempting to merge into high-speed highway traffic and execute turns, creating an immediate risk of a collision. Despite this being a well-documented factory defect in the 2017–2019 model years, Ford corporate has declined out-of-warranty or goodwill assistance to resolve the issue. I am requesting that the federal safety agency investigate this systemic powertrain defect, as the unpredictable loss of propulsion and stalling poses a direct threat to driver and passenger safety.

So, the transmission is slipping and causing the truck to lose power and jerk and not shift properly. I have had it looked at found out that the same transmission that was on a recall for other trucks is the same that is in mine, yet NO recall has been made. I have had no warning signs or any warning before it started shifting different.

Check engine light on, engine is sluggish when accelerating especially from a stop. Cam phasers malfunctioning causing rough idle and issues with accelerating. This has posed a major issue when attempting to pull out into traffic and not being able to accelerate ahead of incoming traffic. Engine has actually stopped at intersections, while going through car wash, at a stop.

Transmission shudders while accelerating and is prone to overheating seemingly sporadically.

Truck has 33,000 miles on it. Transmission finds numerous neutral gears while trying to go forward. Sometimes bangs into gear and shock loads the drivetrain. Other times it will start to accelerate then stop accelerating while trying to get up to road speed. Trans has been serviced, fluid and filter at 30,000 miles. Cdf drum failure. Would love to see Ford stand behind this unit.
