![]() ![]() Now when I’m running an errand I’m sure to incorporate a blast down that stretch of road to tune her up.Ĩk miles is no miles in my book I expect transmissions to go at least 250k. Since that trip I’ve found a deserted road here in town that’s safe for full blast runs. It’s good for it! The engine pulled out of a funk it’s had lately and trans is back to a more decisive shift strategy. Made a two hundred mile round trip to Tucson recently and caned the truck quite a bit lots of on ramps leading on to a 75mph freeway, and traffic lights on roads with a 50 mph speed limit, so I got stress the thing a lot. ![]() As such the trans lightens up a bit on shift firmness and adapts to what it thinks is a cadaver driving it. My truck gets driven pretty sedately because I live in a small town and there’s no opportunity to hang the truck out to dry. Concerning this learning or adapting to the way you drive business, there may be something to it. the shift pattern was all over the place.Ĭhecking back in with 8k miles now. I took the tech to the side off the record and asked him whats the deal with this and his answer was “there is an issue, there are problems, 1st and 2nd gears burn up quite easily especially if you drive in the Sport and Sport + modes and then go back into normal mode, but you have plenty of warranty left on it, wait until the transmission completely fails and then bring it in” I knew exactly what he was talking about because I went into those modes just to see the difference and when I did go back into normal, the car drove like it was completely lost. Not that its a bad thing but if it learned to it by itself, why am I reminding it later on? I brought this up with the dealer a couple times but of course, as always, if it doesnt do it with them in the car, they cant take it apart and investigate further. I literally have to put the pedal to the floor to force a kickdown or go to the paddle shifters and manually shift it. The worst is being in 10th gear at 40mph and I go to pass somebody and no response. It goes through its cycle, gets everything dialed in and then a week later, it forgets and goes back into class after learning some bad habits. I think mine has a learning disability! It never keeps what it has learned. (larger radiator, Brembo brakes, stiffer front springs, staggered wheels) Its fun to drive, yes!! trust me, this thing makes use of every bit of horsepower and it is fast!! I drive hard just like you but this adaptive learning thing is crazy. I own a 2019 Mustang GT with the 10speed and the Performance Pack 1 option.

The transmission can also be found in the Ford Mustang, Ford Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, Ford Ranger, and overseas, the Ford Everest. Notably, the Ford F-150 10R80 automatic transmission was developed jointly between FoMoCo and General Motors. Meanwhile, the lawsuit says the adaptive transmission shift strategy does not address the 10-speed’s numerous other shifting issues. One possible explanation is that the “adaptive transmission shift strategy,” which is intended to improve shifting quality, actually worsens the shift quality for several days after the adaptive strategy is reset as the computer relearns various parameters. Both confirm the 10R80 10-speed transmission can exhibit harsh or delayed shifts, as well as firmer than normal upshifts and downshifts. So far, Ford has issued two technical service bulletins to address the issue, including TSB 18-2079 and TSB 18-2274. What’s more, the lawsuit says that some owners have suffered whiplash due to the poor shifting quality of their Ford F-150. After determining the vehicle was in limp mode, the plaintiff pulled over to disconnect the battery and reset the onboard computer. The plaintiff also asserts that the transmission will hold gears for too long, and exhibit power loss while shifting during warmup or when cold.Īpparently, at one point the plaintiff’s Ford F-150 wouldn’t even accelerate or shift, instead displaying the message “drive mode not available” in the dash. A new class action lawsuit asserts that the 10-speed 10R80 automatic transmission equipped in Ford F-150 models can cause “life-threatening” issues due to “harsh shifting, jerking, hesitation and slipped gears.” The lawsuit includes a number of 2017 to 2019 Ford F-150 models in Illinois.Īccording to one plaintiff in the lawsuit, the 10R80 10-speed automatic exhibits a loud “clunk” or “bang” noise when starting the engine on his leased 2018 Ford F-150 XLT 3.5L EcoBoost, just five months and 6,000 miles after acquiring the vehicle. ![]()
