My neighbor's F150 is on it's third 10R80 and it took a month to get the last one replaced.Keep documenting. We JUST got out of a 9 month battle between Ford corporate and our local dealership over our 2019 Expedition transmission. Short version... The dealer was supposed to do a recall, and ended up rebuilding the entire transmission because Ford is still redesigning the components and had figured out that the 3 TSBs on our trans was not fixing the problem with them jumping out of gear. So far we're out of pocket $4,000 that Ford is supposed to reimburse us, and once we got the car back we went exactly 88 miles before the transmission flopped and left us stranded again.
Eventually, instead of wanting a lawsuit (because the dealer lied to us multiple times in writing) the dealer bought the car back from us last week and we were able to walk away. AT LEAST the Ford rep said that because of our issues and similar ones with 19 other customers, they are about to issue a nationwide recall on the 10R80 transmissions. That will impact every F150, Ranger, Mustang, Expedition (and all the Lincoln counterparts). It's also shared in the GM platforms (a variant) as well and they're beginning to see some similar issues to go along with their lifter problems.
It's not just Ram. It seems like most manufacturers and dealerships are in the same boat now.
