When pulling out onto the road, adequate acceleration is necessary to merge with the traffic flow.  The truck initially accelerates as expected, then stops accelerating before suddenly jerking forward. Occasionally, it takes several seconds for the vehicle to accelerate, which creates a hazardous situation when approaching traffic is moving at 55 mph.  It has not caused an accident yet but it has caused me to adjust my driving and times to use the truck.  I use my wife's car (another Ford) most of the time.  This hesitation and strange shifting poses safety risks for all road users.  On 5/21/2025, I took the truck to Ford dealer, and on 5/30/2025, was informed that major work was required on the transmission and differential, estimated at $12,383.80.  Seeking an alternative assessment due to financial considerations, I consulted a specialist who confirmed that the transmission and pinion bearings needed repair or replacement.  The vehicle was returned to dealer on 6/4/2025 for differential repairs, completed on 6/13/2025 at a cost of $4,486.26.  The transmission repair was not in the budget.  Subsequent research indicated that the 10R80 transmission has a record of mechanical issues, service bulletins, recalls, and related legal matters. It appears likely that the jerky shifting of the transmission contributed to the failure of the pinion bearings.  Although the truck is out of warranty and has 64,430 miles, given the safety concerns, I request that Ford review my case for assistance with the remaining transmission repairs, in light of documented issues with the 10R80.    I request that Ford evaluate this request in consideration of customer satisfaction, public safety, and corporate responsibility.  I know Ford is well aware of the problems as there are 474 other complaints on file.  They need to step up and do the right thing before this causes serious injuries.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"F-150","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
