NHTSA Complaint #11621642 — 2019 FORD F-150

HARD SHIFTING ! NOT UP SHIFTING OR DOWN SHIFTING OR IT WILL GO FROM 10TH TO 1ST GEAR ON THE HWY CAUSING LOSS OF POWER, I HAD 2 SEMI TRUCKS RIGHT BEHIND ME ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, WHEN STOPING AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN IT DOES NOT WANT TO GO FORWARD TRYING TO START IN A HIGHER GEAR, AND CAUSING ME TO BE STUCK IN THE INTERSECTION WITH ON COMING TRAFFICK. IT IS LOUNGING FORWARD ON ITS OWN, IT CAUSES THE RPM TO RED LINE WHEN YOU ARE NOT ACCELORATING EVEN AFTER YOU HAVE TAKEN YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS AND ARE APPLYING THE BRAKE. IT IS SKIPING GEARS IT WILL GO FROM 1 TO 7TH TO 10TH BACK DOWN TO 1ST ALL WITHIN A MATTER OF SECONDS, IT WILL DOWN SHIFT OR UP SHIFT AND JUMP SO HARD THAT IT HURTS MY BACK AND MAKES EVERYONE IN THE TRUCK SORE FEELING LIKE YOU GOT WHIPLASH. I DID TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT FIRST STARTED CLANKING HARD WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL FOR THAT TRANSMISSION AND WOULDNT EVEN LOOK AT IT. SINCE THEN IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE I HAVE REACHED OUT TO SERVAL OTHER DEALERSHIPS AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUES THEY HAVE ALL TOLD ME THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY ARE GETTING SO MANY REPORTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND FORD HAS NOT FOUND A FIX FOR THE ISSUE. WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED THERE WERE NO WORNINGS AND NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH, NOW I AM GETTING NOTTIFICATIONS ON THE FORD APP AND THERE HAS BEEN A WRENCH LIGHT THTHAT COMES ON THE DASH PERIODICLY. CURRENTLY THE TRUCK IS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A FULL TRANSMISSION REBUILD SUGGUSTED BY THEM. COSTING ALMOST $6000.00 AND ACOURDING TO THEM THIS IS THE ONLY FIX FOR IT AT THIS TIME. THE CLUTCH BASKET HAS FAILED SENDING IMPROPER FLUID PRESSURE THOUGH OUT THE TRANSMISSION.
