The 10-speed automatic transmission (10R80) shifts harshly and erratically, hangs in gear, and lost 2nd gear entirely, causing unpredictable acceleration and gear engagement in traffic.

I was taking my daughter to school and we were stopped at a light when the check engine light came on. When the light turned green and I pressed the gas the vehicle didn’t seem to respond at all and I rolled my car at the right turn and parked it. I turned it off and back on and it was still doing the same thing. I had someone pick up my daughter and take her to school. I started scheduling a tow but after it sat for a while it was able to drive to a shop for inspection where they tested it and received the error code: P076F = Gear 7 incorrect ratio. I was told the entire engine needs to be replaced. The vehicle has low mileage. Our safety was at risk because I had no warning to get the car…
While driving at highway speeds, a severe transmission defect caused an electronic and mechanical failure chain on my 745-mile vehicle. The transmission experienced an immediate loss of hydraulic control, causing the engine to surge to 4,000 RPM and violently slam three separate times under load, attempting to force a gear engagement (DTC P076F-00). This severe physical trauma caused the Transmission Control Module (TCM) to completely drop communication with the Engine Control Unit (ECU), throwing error codes U0080-00 (Ethernet Bus 1) and C2226-00 (TCM Disabled ECU).The vehicle's safety software responded to this network crash by entirely cutting transmission line pressure. This architecture…
My F150 10R80 transmission is throwing a P076F code. And the shifting has become very harsh and eratic all across the 10 gears. Hesitations, high revs, hard shifts, etc. This is a known issue by Ford and they have issued TSBs on the issue. They acknowledge that it is a design flaw within the transmission and have issued fixes. But if you are outside of the 60,000mi warranty, the burden of the costs falls on me, the owner. $9400 to replace the transmission with a new Ford transmission here in Colorado. This is a known problem in the design but Ford is not stepping up to help. They let the burden fall on the owner.
The check engine light and a (A)! light with "service auto/start stop" came on at the same time with no symptom of any issue being immediately noticeable. The Parking break "BRAKE" light on the dash light up for half a second. Then the transmission was stuck in 7th gear and would not downshift on its own. When pulling on the wheel's paddles a "shift denied" message was deplayed despite the fact i was going 10mph in 7th gear. Check engine light code was P076F and U0001 and U1199. Upon driving the vehicle again Car this time transmission got into 8th gear and stated "shift denied" and wouldn't downshift from 8th gear for any reason. I parked it for a couple days. When trying to take it to the…
Transmission shifts hard and erratic at times. Error code p076f. Tech came out to our house to reprogram the vehicle was told to drive it for 50 to 80 miles for new program to take effect, and if it continued to act erratic take it to the dealer for service. Upon taking it to the dealer and a general check to verify he vehicle still had issues we were told we had to pay a service tech to investigate the issue further and they were certain that the repairs wouldnt be covered under any recall. They also closed out the recall that we had as repaired when it obviously was not. It seems ford has a major issue with all of the recalls I keep seeing pop up in news articles and they are trying to…
My vehicle began to expereince irregular shifting through all forms of acceleration and different gears. Notable incidents include dropping from 7th gear down to 1st while traveling 60mph on the highway and hearing a loud bang. Other incidents include losing power will in the middle of an intersection or turning onto a perpendicular road. The abrupt shifting of gears would throw myself in the driver seat leading to potential distracted driving directly caused by the vehicle itself. Eventually the vehicle displayed a wrench light and produced 2 codes: P076F and P0732 indicating incorrect gear ratios for gear 2 and 7. I took the vehicle into the dealership where they discovered the CPF…
