Consumer Description

*Component or system: the transmission (10R140) on my F350 Truck has failed. The transmission has been inspected by a Ford service tech shop at dealership. * The truck would jump gear and jump or jolt when backing up., slight pause in power when driving truck at any speed. * The truck is at a Ford Dealership at this time. The service tech said this transmission needs to be replaced, it is unsafe to drive. The truck was bought brand new and only has 73,000 miles *The truck has been inspected by a Ford service tech for the transmission *The problem was happening on & off at times, but recently a warning lite came on 10/29/2023 which would come on & off at times I see that there was a safety recall 22S22 on this transmission 10R140 for super duty trucks built in 2020. The letter from Ford written by David J Johnson director of service engineering operation, dated September 23, 2022. This letter stated trucks built in the Kentucky Truck assembly plant between October 1, 2019 through September 21, 2020 the 10R140 transmission the pinion thrust washers can disintegrate with a defected part. Per the Vin number my truck was built at the above Kentucky plant on February 20, 2020 with this 10R140 Transmission. My Truck is built with a 6.2 L gas engine with the 10R140 transmission F350 Super Duty. The service tech said this is the same Transmission put in the diesel engine trucks. So if there is a safety recall 22S22 on the 10R140 transmission defect why was my truck not listed on this safety recall notice. My truck has the 10R140 transmission and has the same problems as mentioned in the above letter. Please let me know how to address the above issue.
