NHTSA Complaint #11437482 — 2021 FORD F-250

The 10-Speed Automatic Transmission shifts hard and randomly. Leaving a stop sign, at any rate of speed, causes slippage in the shifting. Sometimes it'll shift too slowly, resulting in a jerky motion of the vehicle. Sometimes when on the highway, usually traveling at 68mph (cruise control), the vehicle will randomly jump gears when it's not necessary. Recently while getting up to speed we heard a large grinding noise shifting into 4th gear. The vehicle, otherwise, runs great. The transmission leaves alot to be desired and I do not have any confidence in the shifting. It's comparable to a teenager just learning how to drive a stick shift. If I wanted that, I would have one. My transmission fluid is where it should be and the vehicle has less than 8,000 miles on it.
