Venting. 2019 F150 3.5 Ecoboost Lariat SE (racing stripes and two tone leather interior) max tow. While towing a Uhaul motorcycle trailer loaded with a 550 lb. motorcycle the wrench light came on 6 hours into an 8 hour trip. After stopping for a quick google search, I continued on to my destination. The truck was over revving when shifting from 1-3 and 7-8 unless it was really babied. This was in the middle of nowhere during a family move so my options were limited. I brought it into the local Ford dealer soon after.
Diagnostics - No scan codes present. Transmission shifts harsh accelerating from 1-3 and 7-8. Transmission fluid level checked low. Fluid was burnt. Friction material found in fluid. Recommend overhauling transmission and valve body.
Eight weeks and $4583.46 later, I have my truck back and if shifts better than it did even when purchased new. My vent is on the known issues of the 10R80 transmission, and being 5.400 miles past the 60,000 mile powertrain warranty. Ford Customer Relation Center Response was here's your case number, CAS-49225975-Y2B0S5, and there's really nothing we can do. Thank you for being a loyal Ford customer.
Thank goodness I purchased a Route 66 extended warranty which covered EVERYTHING except consumables (fluid, filters, taxes, etc). $705.57 out of pocket which included a $20.55 surchage.
So now I have a truck that I love, with 34,000 miles left on an extended warranty with a transmission that totally failed and I don't trust that it will not fail again.
