For directly tagging them and calling them out of various posts in regards to all the OTA fiascos. lol

I wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing this or is it just my truck so I can get it looked at. Anytime I start my truck after it has been sitting overnight or parked for hours while I am at work, I have this happen. Right after starting it, if I put it in to drive and try to drive it, the engine will rev up, but the truck will barely move. The best way I can describe it: It feels like a manual transmission with a badly worn clutch that is slipping. I don't know if maybe it takes a bit for the fluid in the transmission to get circulating before the torque converter can do its job properly, but I don't remember this being an issue when I first got the truck, and I know for a fact in other vehicles I have owned, this was not an issue. I am due for an oil change anyway, so a dealer visit is in the near future, but I wanted to see if anyone else has noticed this. If not, then I know something is not right.

I am new here but want to mention my 22 STX 2.7 EB has same issue
From cold start even in warm weather when I start it up and within 10 seconds or so go to drive it slips big time
I now have 9K miles but been since it was new 15 months ago
Especially in my driveway it’s starts a little hill
To cure it I go drive tap gas,then reverse hold brake hit gas a bit then forward and all normal
It should not do that and I hear checking trans fluid is a pain
I mentioned this last year to tranny specialist at Todd Judy Ford And he said he had no experience “right out of the gate” so I thought I would wait a while
Only other tranny issue is when coasting 50-65mph I hear a low but noticeable gearing sing like overdrive in big truck
Not sure exactly what part of drivetrain is making it
The 15 Tacoma 5 speed manual I had before this had a worse gear sing n 3rd and 5th gear so I guess they can’t make them perfect
I would like to know If my F150 issue is normal for it but this dealer is over hour away and I would have to drop it off night before to show the issue then show up early

This issue sounds like a failed check valve in the valve body. Probably a little poly ball that is supposed to block a passage but isn't.

Anyone gotten Ford or a transmission shop to diagnose this? My 10R80 transmission doesn't do this and it isn't normal in my opinion.

I took my truck to a dealer shortly after posting this and totally forgot to ask them about it. Still does it to this day.

Add me to the list, I noticed it started doing it when I would park on an incline in my driveway, but now it seems to do it every time on a cold start, regardless of outdoor temp. 15k miles on the odo. I don't mind just waiting a few seconds to go, I just don't want it to turn into something bigger.

 

[rugedraw]

Mine is still doing it. Just under 12k miles. I usually use Fordpass to start my truck to get the a/c going since it is always hotter than Satan's scrotum here, so it rarely happens. However, any time I do jump in and go, it happens.

I have this exact same issue. Mine seems to go away when the transmission warms up. I consider this to be a major safety issue. This morning, I attempted to pull out from a parking lot onto a road with a 50mph speed limit, the engine revved but the truck barely moved. It seems like if I pull my foot off the throttle, and reapply it, it will engage as it should. It is not a good feeling the watch traffic coming at you at 50mph+ while you are helplessly creeping along at under 5mph! My first thought is that the trans was under-filled from the factory, but I have not checked the fluid to confirm it. I have 15k on my truck and have seen this from time to time since the truck was new. It seems to be happening a little more frequent lately. Checking the fluid on these is a pain, but I think that should be the first course of action. Then maybe I will take it to the dealer for an inspection and maybe a fluid/filter change? Has anyone had any success fixing this issue?

I havent had this experience exactly.
Every now and then i'll give my truck a little gas pedal input and it'll just rev up and immediately after i'll get a inverter overload or similar message. Usually i'll let off and its back to normal. No DTC's or MIL. I have a powerboost so the situation is normal.

Also, huge LOLz at the reply to Ford. Spit my coffee out on that one.

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

Sorry, while I appreciate your effort, I'm looking for a solution to the problem. My local dealer is the opposite of a solution. If I they were a legitimate option, I would have started there. Unfortunately, I have dealt with "my local dealer" too many times over the past 20 years, with no success. They can't even do an alignment or a brake job correctly. Most times my vehicle comes back to me with more issues and damage than it had when I left it there. No thank you! I have to leave town and travel 30 miles to get decent service. I can fix most problems faster than I can get there and back, and I'm a much better mechanic.

The forums and the internet are full of complaints about the 10R80. Including lawsuits against Ford in many states. If the dealers (or Ford Motor Company) were able to fix these issues, none of us would be here looking for solutions.

 

[HANCOCK]

Absolutely right!! Having issues with my tran from day one. Dealer change the valve body now having Different problems with it From 1st to 3th Slipping Jerking looking for a gear to go in. I'm Going back to the dealer which is worthless in 2 weeks

 

[rugedraw]

Mine is still doing it on cold starts. I plan on taking it to the dealer next month for this, some blemishes on my touch screen and routine maintenance. I don't expect much from them. I'll come back an post here what they say. The first thing that needs to happen is for the truck to actually do it while it is in their possession. If they cannot duplicate the issue, they won't do anything.
