Wouldn't we all.

There is a TSB for it. And for some, it has resolved it. For me, it resolved for about 3 weeks and then it came back.

My update was done about 5 weeks ago. When I mentioned it again to my service advisor last week after picking it up for another repair, she claims that Ford has now came back to them and stated that this is normal. WTF?! Normal how??

NORMAL AS IN HERES YOUR TEN GEARS GET USED TO IT. NOW IVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE W 10 GEARS SO MAYBE ITS JUST HOW IT IS.

Neither have I, but I can tell you it's NOT the way it should be.

However, I know your comment was made in jest.

So riddle me this? (Off topic). Getting ready to exit highway ramp and 3/4 of a mile before the end I drop into neutral and expect the RPMS to drop accordingly as If I was at a stop light typically around 600rpms. Now in neutral coasting down the highway ramp the rpm’s match the speed and never drop to 600rpms as expected they would in any other vehicle. So is my engine really turning those RPMS in neutral or is it a glitch based on vehicle speed?

Very interesting, I would think it should drop as well. I'll do it with mine and see what it does.

If I don't report back, and you see a Houston news article about some guy shifting in to neutral doing 60mph and getting plowed from behind, know that I went out for a good cause and it was in the name of research.

Only had my truck for 5 days, and this started day 2.
Stays in 8'th gear when slowing down to take a curve, when accelerating out it hard shifts to third with a big bang!
I also have come to a full stop with it in 8'th, put it in park then back to drive says gear 1, then back to 8'th (slow going) then a hard shift back to 3'rd with a bang.
Scary!

My 2022 Lariat is doing the same thing. I cannot get a service appointment until August 2.

Hello there, Could you please send over a private message with your VIN and the name/location of your local Ford dealer? I would like to take a closer look at your shifting concerns.

I survived, and mine does the same thing as yours.
