Ford Motor Company faces a class action lawsuit brought on behalf of owners of certain Ford Expedition, Mustang, Ranger, F-150 and Lincoln Navigators vehicles, which are equipped with an 10R80 10-speed transmission, which may be prone to harsh and erratic gear shifts, as well as a sudden loss of power.

The complaint (PDF) was filed on July 11 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida by Joseph Vangel and Bryan Klontz, seeking class action status to pursue damages on behalf of all owners of Ford vehicles equipped with the 10R80 transmissions, which is allegedly defective.

Plaintiffs indicate that numerous vehicle owners have complained to Ford about problems with the transmission, including reports that vehicles lost power while accelerating as drivers tried to merge onto freeways or cross busy intersections. This was due to the transmission failing to shift up or down, plaintiffs claim.

In addition, the Ford class action lawsuit claims the problems may cause some drivers to experience whiplash and discomfort from the harsh way the vehicles shift, increase the risk of distractions while driving due to the system’s loud and unusual sounds, and generally make occupants not feel safe in the 10R80-equipped vehicles.

Ford Transmission Complaints Ignored

According to the lawsuit, Ford has known about problems with the transmissions, but refused to replace them. Instead, the lawsuit claims Ford told vehicle owners that the abrupt and harsh shifting they reported was “normal”.

“Defendant knew or should have known that the Vehicles contain one or more design and/or manufacturing defects, including but not limited to defects contained in the Vehicles’ 10R80, a 10-speed automatic transmission that can shift harshly and erratically, causing the vehicle to jerk, lunge, clunk, hesitate, surge, or slip between gears. Some consumers have even reported experiencing a sudden loss of power while driving their vehicles,” the lawsuit states. “This common design and/or manufacturing defect in Ford’s 10R80 transmissions is a potentially life-threatening safety issue, and Ford has refused to recall or replace the defective Transmissions.”

Ford has issued several Technical Service Bulletins in relation to the problem, but the company has maintained that the issues being reported are normal, and refused to repair or recall the vehicles.

The lawsuit indicates that if plaintiffs and class members had known about the transmission problems, they would not have purchased the vehicles, or would have paid significantly less for them.

I have had the 10R80 transmission in my 2020 F150 replaced twice and rebuilt 3 times. Hard shifting, failure to respond at highway speed, clunking, etc. It still isn’t right. All work done at Ford dealers and I have all paperwork. I sent certified notice to Ford, and I sent them a non-spoliation letter. I have had two near misses at highway speed when transmissions failed catastrophically. I have filed numerous complaints with NHTSA, and I attempted to use the BBB Auto Line claim process. Why can I not get a place ntiff’s attorney to look at my case? This is a slam dunk, it seems. They are replacing transmissions with units that they have no reasonable basis to believe will resolve the issue.

I bought 2 of the 2021 Ford Rangers for work trucks. First truck is back in for the 2nd time with these transmission issues. It took them 4 weeks to fix it last time. 🙁 2nd truck only has 56k miles on it, so it’s just a waiting game now. Luckily I bought the extended warranty.
Jason
I am having the same transmission issue in my 2021 Expidition. They keep saying it’s a computer issue and readjust it this is the 4th time in the shop and I am over it.

2020 F150 4×4 5.0L Platinum at 97000 miles transmission started shifting hard. Contacted Ford Dealer and they said bring it in to have the system re flashed. At 107000 miles I took it to the dealer. By the time I made it to the dealer the transmission would shift from 8th to 2nd and was very dangerous to drive. Dealership called and stated flashing the system would not fix the problem and Ford will Not help in any way even knowing that they have ongoing issues with these transmissions. Dealer quoted $8500.00 for transmission replacement. The price you pay for these vehicles you would to think they would stand behind them when they know they have a problem!

2017 Ford F150 Raptor Driving home from work and a wrench icon pops up on the dash. Got home and shut the engine off and start it back up. For a minute no wrench icon. Reverse out of the driveway and put it in drive and it started jerking after the second gear. Getting into third gear was rough and after that all other gears were smooth transition. Drove for a bit and came to a stop light and it started to jerk again and hard shift into 3rd and than shifted back to 1st gear. Very scary. Took it to the dealership and they looked at it and said it’s gonna cost me $15,000 and some change for a new transmission and cam phaser’s. My truck now sits in the driveway with under 80,000 miles for a year now.

I bought my f150 used at 47,000 miles. I had transmission blaming into and out of 3rd along with hesitation in and out if 3rd. It got flashed by dealer saying nothing was wrong with it, it’s just doesn’t know how I drive. It never got better and didnt always do it. Now 50k miles later and it’s in the winter it’s slamming in and out if 8th gear has cavitation/vibration in lower gears and yesterday kind of sputtered to reverse. Like power/no power. Kind of jerky/bucking feeling. Thing is if the experts at dealer properly inspected and diagnosed my transmission when I brought it to them it would have been fixed. Instead they lied. They know how many of these come in and what’s wrong with them. This was my dream car. Glad I bought it in cash cause it would still be financed and with a bad transmission. I understand planned obsolescence in order to stay in business. However a companies product should outlast the financing on said product.

Just took my 2019 f150 to the dealership for transmission issues. Was told that even though I’m under 60k miles, I’m 22 days out of warranty. Ford is willing to cover part of a transmission replacement but $4700 is on me. So discouraging to work hard to pay off a vehicle just to deal with this. I don’t have the extra cash for this😑
Don
2018 F-150 with 10speed transmission. Last couple of yrs it had been shifting a bit rough but nothing major. Recently it surges, loses drive,revs high, slams into gear. I’m using the manual mode on shifter and nursing it. 148k and obviously out of warranty, but this truck has not been used hard and has only pulled a trailer a few times. Has anyone had any resolution from Ford or a class action?

I have a 2017 F150 and a 2020 Platinum Expedition. The F150 has 152,000 and the Expedition has 110,000. The F150 has had the cam phasers done twice and had the turbo replaced at 40,000 miles but was replaced under warranty. The cam phasers were covered once under warranty and once out of my pocket. For the F150, the transmission always has shifted roughly from time to time but has not failed yet. Now I have the Expedition in the shop, I’ve been reporting to the dealer since we bought the car that the transmission makes a lot of noise when it shifts into 8th gear. Recently, when accelerating in 8th gear, the car lost power until I coasted and then it finds a gear. The dealer kept denying there was a problem because there was not a code designating a problem. Of course the car is now out of warranty and they had to open up the transmission to find the problem. Now they are having to replace the control module, which is costing me $2,500. Not all mechanical problems have a code. I believe Ford and the dealership was and is negligent for not looking into the problem when I reported it. They are back to making junk like they did in the 70’s. I have owned many Ford over the years and they were good vehicles. They have re-earned the right to be called by their acronym: Ford – Fix Or Repair Daily

We own a 2018 Ford F150 with a 10 speed transmission. Lately it has started jumping out of gear and losing power when gas is excellerated. The engine revs up very loud but will not go into gear right away and then jumps very hard into gear. I recently was at a dead stop at a redlight behind another vehichle. The truck lunged on its own toward the back of the vehicle in front of me. I slammed on my breaks and my tires screeched loudly to avoid the crash. My dog was slammed into the dash. At the next intersection at the redlight into my neighborhood the truck barely got across the intersection and would not go out of first gear.
Tommy
My 2017 ford king ranch has the same transmission problems. I just began my research to find I am not alone. Is there anything being done about this?
eric
2019 expedition platinum max, started at 58,000 miles. grinding when backing up, falls on its face when you push the gas. clunks hard into gear.the list goes on and on. this is a known problem, ford people have been loyal all these years and ford wont back there product up. thye know the 10R80 is junk and they refuse to help there customers stuck with them. this is how companys go out of business. ill be buying a chevy
Christina
Have a 2019 F-150 5L coyote. Both the engine and transmission have been replaced already. Dealership gave us a hard time with the transmission, tried to make us pay for repairs they did without informing us of the cost first (MA law). There’s also a class action on the 5L coyote. As soon as I can it’s gone. It’s either a lemon or it’s a curse, either way I want no part of it.
Jorge
I bought a new 2017 Limited F150 Supercrew 3.5 Ecoboost. Made the rattling noises while under warranty and even during the extended warranty. Took it numerous times to two separate Ford Service Centers. They refused to fix it or determine what it was. Based on my research, found out it was the cam phasers. Took my truck back to service, and even provided video with audio of the noise. They still refused to fix it, claiming they had to replicate it. Finally it began making noises upon start up, sounded like a diesel. Now, at 106K miles, they say it’s the cam phasers, water pump, and transmission, all related to the cam phasers. TSB’s had been issued by FORD for both issues. They’re telling me I have to pay over $15,000 for repairs. When they knew about these issues while it was under warranty.
Anthony
Let me start by saying I’ve been a Ford guy my entire life but after this ordeal with my ranger I’ll never buy another ford! I recently purchased a used 2021 Ford ranger sport with 40,000 miles on the odometer and I’ve put approximately 6,000 miles on the truck and I’m having a plethora of issues with the transmission such as surging, vibration, skipping gears,hard shifting and completely losing power at random.
Norman
Yes I bought a 2017 ford.f150 XLT super crew 4×4 and from the 3rd week I bought I it had a vibration and it shifts hard take and out it in gear feels like it is going to fall out it loses power on the interstate going up hills be doing 70 and is the will call down to to 50.and I give up it gas and there’s no power what so ever. I will have my foot on the brake and if I’m in a slight hill it Will roll backwards if I take my foot off the brake it will shift into a gear and lunge down from out of no where it is dangerous I think it is part.of the transmission recall I check it on the recall list it say it’s not but it will vibrate it feel like it’s coming through the floor
Matt
Just bought a 2018 xl with 46k on it from a dealership. Just 700 miles on in a few days, now it’s making the ratcheting noise when pressing and unpressing the pedal. Need my head examined, didn’t buy the Warranty and traded off my 07 tundra w/275k on it for $500 and I trust the Tundra now more than this practically new Truck. Never Again!
Cory
Experiencing all of the above listed issues on my 2019 f-150, the dealership told me I have to bring it in three times for a tcm flash, then a replacement of a part inside the transmission, and then a follow up inspection, and if none of those fix the problem then I need an all new transmission. All of this is out of pocket cost due to the fact there is no recall or tsb open for the 2019 f-150’s. If ford pays out I hope they pay out for everyone with a 10 speed in their vehicle.
Cherish
I have a 2018 F150 XLT that started having transmission issues (10R80) before my warranty expired. Took it in and they “cleaned” the valve body. Issues progressively got worse and warranty expired 4/1/24. Just got my vehicle back after spending $9,000 to have a new transmission built and installed. Drives great right now. Very sad that Ford will not do the right thing and issue a recall.
Linda
After numerous complaints to Mills Ford in Brainerd, Mn and being told our transmission was normal, our 2019 F-150 is in the shop with a tranny that is toast. We bought extended warranty up to 100,000 miles. It has 106,000 on it. Now we’re facing a $9,000+ fix and Ford customer care says they can do nothing. Hubby worked at the UAW MSP plant over 32 years. Our loyalty to them is now zero.

I’m having the same problem with my 2019 Raptor. It started out vary intermittent and hard to replicate. Ford told me it was normal and not to worry. A few months later it became more frequent. My warranty ran out two months ago. I have it in the Ford dealership to get repaired right now. I only have 45k miles on the vehicle. It seems like the knew about the issue but failed to take care of it.

Guess what, this includes MUSTANGS in Canada! Word for word, this is what has been happening to me from the day I picked it up. I bought a new 2018 Ecoboost Mustang 2.3L automatic and for the entire 6 years I’ve been telling dealerships there is a problem. In response I received the following: – the car is learning how you drive, just wait a year for it to adjust – there is nothing wrong with this car – there are no codes, nothing is wrong with your car – I’ve been saying ‘there is something wrong with this EcoBoost’ and was told more times I can count, to my face ‘there’s nothing wrong with the EcoBoost Annette’ – and this ACTUALLY happened ‘I think it’s the heels on your shoes (sandals) when you drive that maybe is your problem’ Last week on a very busy street in Toronto, ON Canada I experienced for the first time the failure in the gas responding. When the break was on, the car was jumping and trying to push forward with the wrench light coming on. So Dangerous!!! After a death defying limp to the dealership which was right around the corner, they said when did a test drive they put the car into neutral and stepped on the gas and the car moved versus the engine just revving. They ‘unplugged’ my dealership installed remote start that has been there since day one, and the next day told me to drive it for a 100km, and let them know how I make out. I barely made it out of the dealership lot onto a busy Toronto street and fortunately just missed a near collision while turning left to get back to the dealership. I have multiple reports with the dealership while under warranty and no fix, and now that it’s 6 years old and 67,000km (just over warranty) they want $11,000 to replace my transmission and Ford Canada said ‘It was my responsibility to have it fixed while it was under warranty.” Which I tried! Over and over again! I’m hoping to find a Canadian Lawsuit as this is criminal not to mention deadly.
Alan
I too. Bought a Ford Ranger brand new in 2021 and now need the transmission replaced @ 3 years and 95K. No hauling, all highway miles. Currently sitting at the dealership waiting on the tear down for the warranty to be inspected (I did purchase the ultimate extended warranty for roughly $3450) Only comment from the service manager was, “They don’t make them like they used to…” The current quoted price is $9,010 for transmission replacement as well as the cost of labor for tear down, likely in the higher range of an additional 2K. If for any reason the warranty would not cover I’m looking at 11K – 12K repair. I bought a brand new truck for peace of mind….oops
Jacob
Having the same issues with my 2018 and have found multiple pages about this same problem seem most common between 60,000-100,000k, I’m at 75 and it’s such a hassle I have to use manual mode and find the perfect spot for each gear so it dosent slam into random gears but it still is tricky around first and second and fourth, Please let me know how I can be included in this lawsuit, I still have three more years on my truck and I thought it would make it past 100k but nope I was wrong this truck has honestly been a nightmare, fuel pump went a couple months ago, had to replace all the spark plugs and half the ignition coils about two years ago.

I was having the same issues. I purchased my 2018 F150 in February 2019 and the warranty was 5 years 100,000 miles. In March 2024 at 40,000 miles (5 years 1 month)I was having issues with the cam phaser (know issue by Ford) so I brought it in to have it fixed. That cost me 4218.82 to get repaired. Then 2 months later my transmission started lunging jerking and shifting hard. I brought it in again to the dealership and at first they said they couldn’t duplicate the issue I was having .After reading it is a very well know issue I highly doubt that they didn’t know what it was. So I told them that to drive it again and if they couldn’t find the issue I was going to go there and make it happen for them . Two hours later I received a phone call saying that the transmission needed to be rebuilt. It was going to cost me 8500.00 @ 41000 miles. (5 years 2 months.). I told them “I wanted to trade in the JUNK they sold me“ so they responded with a new quote of 2400. 00 to probably band-aid the issue. The dealership then said that Ford agreed to pay half of the 2400 , but should make it right and eat the rest of the charges, so they told me to contact Ford and be stern but polite. I called and basically was shut down immediately. I understand I didn’t buy the extended warranty but I didn’t think I needed one for a 41000 mile truck especially when ford is offering a 5 year 100000. So in my mind you shouldn’t need a extended warranty till at least 100,000 miles .Had I knew they had these issues I would not had purchased a Ford truck . So now I am about $6000 out of pocket and I had to purchase a new truck and get a note that I didn’t want especially with the interest rates we are having right now. This has caused a lot of extra stress.
Eric
I’m experiencing the same issues as of everyone else on my 2020 ford ranger with the 10 speed automatic. The same gear 3 to 5 and again 9 to 10. Going through an intersection and the truck went from 4th to 1st making the engine redline. I experienced this 4 time this month alone. Called ford to they are 3 months behind
Jason
Unknowingly bought 2019 ford f-150 2.7L 10R80 10 speed transmission, harsh shifts from 3-5 and loss of power @ pedal also. Had not even reached 100,000km yet . So went to ford to get it checked and documented, they say my warranty ended a month ago and I am not covered. They say cdf drum damaged and want to look further into it , problably need new transmission. Now I need to rent a vehicle to get to work wich is costing me a lot because I’m still waiting to hear back as to what’s happening. Than even longer if transmission needs replacing. This is not fair , I don’t have thousands of dollars for new transmission on a truck with 100,000kms nor do I have money to pay for a rental for months on end for them to fix it. I want apart of class action lawsuit.

2018 F-150 Transmission was slow to engage while accelerating at times. Took if to Ford service for reprogramming update and transmission flush. Got it back worse and then the sudden harsh jerking and sputtering on the highway going from 105km/h to 40km/h. Glad there was no one behind us. Very scary to drive. Called 5 different dealerships and wait time to get in for service was 6 weeks but finally found one to get it looked at and now I need a new tranny estimated $10.2K.
Larry
I have a 2018 F-150 5.0 Ten Speed, It has become dangerous to drive, extremely hard shifting, loss of power pulling out onto the road and especially at red light intersections. Shifts so hard it thumps the whole truck, I took it to Thornhill Ford at Chapmanville, Wv and for 135 dollars was told I needed a New Tranny for 8,400 dollars. When I asked if they had seen this problem before, I was told this one is the first, although my Brother had his 2020 in for the same problem a month earlier. Such Liars ! I also called Turnpike Ford and was told this was the first they had heard of, more Lies! I later learned all Ford Dealerships had received Transmission Service Bullitens on this very problem! Pissed in WV, add me to any Lawsuits, I have the proof in the driveway! I also have the Transmission Service Bulliten and how to repair the problem!!!
Tripp
I have a 2018 F-150 with 2.7 engine an 10 speed transmission. Had early transmission problems and went through the reprogramming scenario multiple times with no satisfaction. Clunking. hard shifting, hard downshifting, and skipping gears when downshifting. High revving and slamming into gear from park. Now finding out about the class action lawsuit.

Transmission issues with my 2018 F150. Took it to the dealership and they advised me i would need a new transmission. The service tech told me he had seen this issue a lot. Hoping to join in on any class action lawsuit. In WV

2019 F150 transmission damages were repaired but occurred again 6 month later, now waiting since 4 weeks to have there warranty opening the transmission to further repair or replace ( Endurance Elite Membership paid $8750 so far) driving a enterprise rental for a month, where can I join the lawsuit ?
Jeff
Just had valve box replaced. But still having the same problem and more. Shifts between 3rd to 5th are very clunky/jerky. Now on highway I would lose acceleration due to transmission. Rough shifting in one thing but the lost acceleration is safety hazard. Will see would Ford says on Monday. Any updates on lawsuit? 2018 f150 3.5 eco boost
Rob
2020 Ford Ranger where with 10R80. I get massive slip back when i start in the mornings. I shift into drive, and it rolls backwards down a 5% slope about 3 car lengths before torque converter starts to kick in. 2 different dealers say it’s normal, Ford says it’s not. Eitherway it’s not acceptable. What if i roll 1/4 of a car length into a car, or even worse, a child. The engine is effectively disconnected from the transmission for say 7-10 seconds during this roll back (like a manual with clutch in) and that is effectively loss of control.

I have a 2018 f-150 limited transmission is completely out . 8,000 repair bill.

I’m in Boston, Massachusetts and have a Ford Focus 2013 that I only put 25k miles on since I bought (new, in 2012). It has had recall after recall. Love the car, but I can’t trust it. Shuttering was first (replaced part in 2015, issues returned within two years). Dealer now wants me to pay to have the clutch replaced (that’s what is causing the shuttering). Warranty is long expired. Transmission was the next to falter. There’s a recall for this, but the dealership refused to replace it several times (starting June 2023). The car finally stopped running- it wouldn’t turn on – so they had to fix it. I had many close calls on the highway because of the transmission before it was finally fixed mid February 2024.
Dana
So here’s the huge issue with Ford transmission I’m my vehicle and many others from what I understand and learned from a ford employee but not using his name bless him he was very helpful but not helpful but either way here it is if you have like I have a expedition then they program the transmission to skip every other gear yes thats right supposedly part of fuel efficiency but this damages the transmissions without a doubt and they know so if you have one and have not had any problems here’s an easy fix take it in and have it reprogrammed to not skip gears you theoretically should be worry free of this there are other issues I guess but not sure what those are but this is the biggest issue they are seeing
Steven M
I’ve taken my truck to ford for numerous things stating that my transmission clunk no response from Ford and no comment on work slip when I picked it up taking the truck back again for same reasons saying that they have to get it to duplicate what it does telling me that they can’t get it to do it just so happens my extended warranty ran out transmission took a crap they want 9000 to 11,000 to replace it being a retiree could not afford it had to buy one out of a junkyard for 6500 and Ford would not do anything about it

2020 ford explorer platinum with the 10r80 transmission This is my wife’s car. She uses it for work she is a Nurse. The transmission has dropped its large snapring between 6th &7th gear and when this happens the transmissions fluid starts to burn the gears. and than the car starts to jurk very hard. what I have heard it happens on most of these models. But all the help I’m looking for is just a #%#^smoke screen. I think all the lawyers must be paid by ford. God help this country

2019 F150 platinum with 10R80 tranny and 81,500 miles. Truck is cherry, been babied and has all service records including tranny flush and service at 64k miles. some slipping and loud thuds from tranny have become more common. Last week on 200-mile road trip tranny overheated and lost power. let it cool for 30 min and made it to the destination. then drove home 3 days later with no problems, except 2 loud tranny thuds during the return trip, but babied it. Took to Gosch Ford in Temecula, CA and the service writer was visibly nervous and asked if i had an extended warranty. He made me nervous as well, but i agreed to leave it for the diagnostic. Called 3 hours later and said they think its the tranny solenoid or computer and they need 28 hours of labor to change parts to try and get it repaired, but suggested he may not be able to fix it. Then told me he suggests a new 10R80 tranny for $9,400. I lost it, then he said that’s not all your water pump is gone, and its another $1,700. I have now done the research and see all the complaints, lemon law forums and lawsuits related to this 10R80 tranny. During my research I found out that n=my truc which I bought used with 29k miles has a transferrable 100k warranty purchased by the orig owner, but was never transferred to me. This is BS! I am going to talk to the GM and Service Manager tomorrow. I am looking into CA Lemon laws and class action lawsuits as well. I won’t be spending the $11k. This is my 8th ford vehicle and I am truly disgusted. I bought the top of the line platinum with the intention of keeping it for at least 10 years. I love my truck, but am appalled at Ford right now!!!

I have a 2020 F-150 XLT, it has been at the local dealership for the last 11 months, with numerous problems with transmission issues. Every time I pick it up it goes back with the same issues within 36 hours. Please send me the number to the attorney handling Georgia Civil suit against Ford .

2019 F150 with 68k miles and told yesterday a new transmission is needed. Waiting on approval from extended warranty bought from Ford to approve.
Linda
I purchased a 2015 Ford Fiesta, I have a 153, 000 miles on the car, I took it to the ford dealership last year, because I had issues with my transmission, it stop shifting on me, in the middle of traffic, and I almost had and accident, with my grand kids, in the back seat… my car started shifting, sputtering, jerking, sudden acceleration, and down shifting…The ford dealership stated to me, that the problem that I am having, with my car, was not under recall, and it will cost 4000.00, which I do not have, to fix it, and now my car is sitting in my yard, with a bad transmission, I had to pay 106.00 dollars, for the dealership, to do a diagnostic…I am not happy with the Ford company…

Have an 18′ f150 with 77k miles also with the 10r80. Had no transmission issues whatsoever prior to cam phaser replacement by the local Ford dealership. Since the cam phaser job I’ve been experiencing dangerous transmission issues which have left me unable to accelerate at times in dangerous traffic situations. The ford dealership is trying to scalp me another 11,000$ due to a bad transmission which is obviously a lie given the transmission had no issues before the faulty cam phaser repair. Ford needs to pay for this fix, they produced known faulty parts, and expect the customer to pay top dollar for the vehicle and the repair. Regardless this will be the last Ford product I will buy.
