2010 Ford F-150

TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR AT TIMES. OCCASIONALLY IT DOWNSHIFTS AND THE TRUCK SLOWS DOWN FAST, OTHER TIMES IT FEELS LIKE IT JUST SLIPS OUT OF GEAR ALTOGETHER INTO NEUTRAL, THEN THE ENGINE RPMS GO HIGH AND THE TRUCK SLOWS DOWN. BOTH TIMES, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION GOES BACK INTO GEAR, IT CREATES A LARGE THUMP SOUND AND THE TRUCK JUMPS, OCCASIONALLY SPINNING MY TIRES. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND WHILE DRIVING FROM A STOP SIGN/LIGHT AND HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK. AT LEAST 10 TO 15 TIMES PER MONTH.

IN ADDITION TO THE 2013 FORD F150 TRANSMISSION RECALL, I HAVE A 2010 F150 THAT HAD THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHERE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS TO FIRST GEAR AT SPEED. I WAS GOING 70 MPH WITH MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER ON A VIRGINIA INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHEN MINE DROPPED FROM 6TH TO 1ST GEAR IN AUGUST 2011. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND SAFELY GET IT OFF THE ROAD, BUT THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON LONGER THAN THE CURRENT RECALL REPORTS. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD SHOULD ADDRESS, SINCE MY TRANSMISSION STILL HAS A HARD SHIFT FROM TIME TO TIME, SO I DON'T FEEL THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE MEGATRONICS UNIT (TWICE), AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER, BUT IT IS STILL THE SAME TRANSMISSION AND DRIVE TRAIN WHICH I STILL FEEL IS NOT 100% FIXED. I SEE NOW THAT THE RECALL MIGHT BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE 2011 AND 2012 F150S, BUT I FEEL IT SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THOSE 2010 MODELS TOO, SINCE I HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2010 F150.

THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SHUT OFF, AND RESTARTED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER (BRANDON FORD, 9090 E ADAMO DR, TAMPA, FL 33619) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 186,000.

SINGLE OWNER 2010 FORD F-150 FX4 WITH 58,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY (I-10 IN PHX) AT ROUGHLY 70 MPH DURING RUSH HOUR WHEN SUDDENLY THE TRUCK LURCHED AS IF I HAD JUST DRIVEN THROUGH A DEEP PUDDLE. A FEW SECONDS LATER AS I WAS LOOKING IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP AND THE TRUCK BEGAN SKIDDING UNCONTROLLABLY; THERE WERE 3 TO 4 DISTINCT SKIDS LASTING APPROXIMATELY 1 TO 2 SECONDS AT A TIME AS I RECALL. LUCKILY FOR ME THE SEMI-DRIVER BEHIND ME WAS PAYING PROPER ATTENTION TO THE ROAD AND NOTICED ME SKIDDING TO A HALT DESPITE THE ABSENCE OF BREAK LIGHTS. HE SWERVED AND NARROWLY MISSED REAR-ENDING MY VEHICLE AT FULL HIGHWAY SPEED. AFTER THE SEMI PASSED I BEGAN TO LIMP OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 25 MPH AT THIS POINT, AND I RECALL A FEW MORE JERKY UPSHIFTS AND DOWNSHIFTS WHILE PULLING OVER. BY THE TIME MY TRUCK WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY THE DASHBOARD WRENCH INDICATOR WAS ON AND PRESSING THE GAS PEDDLE HAD NO EFFECT. THE TRUCK HAD DISCONNECTED THE THROTTLE SENSOR INPUT FROM THE FUEL INJECTORS. AFTER WEIGHING MY OPTIONS FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES I DECIDED TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON. UPON DOING SO THE WRENCH INDICATOR WAS GONE, AND THE TRUCK APPEARED TO WORK NORMALLY. SINCE THEN I HAVE DRIVEN THE TRUCK (CAUTIOUSLY AND ON HIGH ALERT) ANOTHER 1,500 MILES AND EVERYTHING HAS PERFORMED NOMINALLY. I HAVE HAD NO OTHER SIGNIFICANT INCIDENTS WITH THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THIS ONE, NOR HAVE I NOTICED ANYTHING OUT OF THE NORM PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT I HAD BEEN DRIVING AT SIMILAR SPEEDS FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE BOTH DRY AND VERY SMOOTH AND THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS LOW 80S AT THE TIME. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 2 DAYS AND AFTER A FULL DIAGNOSIS THEY HAVE NO CLEAR EXPLANATION OR FIX FOR THIS POTENTIALLY FATAL MALFUNCTION.
