A Ford driver is suing the automaker alleging at least five Ford models are equipped with defective 10-speed transmissions.
Plaintiff Daniel McCabe recently filed the class action lawsuit against Ford Motor Co. in a Massachusetts federal court, alleging violations of state and federal consumer laws.
According to the lawsuit, at least five models of Ford vehicles are equipped with 10-speed transmissions that cause the vehicles to jerk, shift harshly, lunge, clunk and hesitate between gears, Car Complaints reports.
The lawsuit also alleges the 10R80 transmissions can cause a sudden loss of power in 2017-2023 models of Ford Expedition, Ford Mustang, Ford Ranger, Ford F-150 and Lincoln Navigator.
McCabe is looking to represent anyone in the United States who formerly or currently own or leased one or more of these vehicles with a 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission.
McCabe said he leased a 2019 Ford Ranger with a 10R80 10-speed transmission in 2019. About seven months after he leased the Ranger, the 10R80 10-speed transmission started jerking and “held gears much longer than it should,” he alleges.
Ford has refused to recall the defective transmissions, lawsuit alleges
The class action lawsuit alleges Ford knew or should have known the transmissions contain defects.
McCabe says Ford failed to warn owners and lessees about the allegedly defective 10R80 transmissions, and now those vehicles are worth less than they should be.
“Because of the Defect, the Class Vehicles are likely to suffer serious damages and potentially catch fire if accidents occur, and there is an unreasonable and extreme risk of serious bodily harm or death to the vehicle’s occupants and others in the vicinity.”
The plaintiff seeks certification of the class action, damages, fees, costs and a jury trial.
In March, Ford asked a federal judge in Michigan to dismiss a class action lawsuit revolving around claims it sold vehicles with an alleged defect that can cause them to roll away unexpectedly.
In 2022, Ford Motor Co. dealt with class action lawsuits, a class action settlement, a recall, a price hike, supply chain woes and a lawsuit of its own. Click here for more details.

58 thoughts onFord sued over alleged problems with 10-speed transmissions
I own a 2018 F150 XLT that has 85K miles. I recently experienced hard shifts between 1 and 3 gears. I took it to a ford dealership today to have the PCM and adaptive strategy reset.
We own a 2021 Ford Ranger and transmission went out while flat towing at 23,000 miles. Ford did replace at no charge but we were without vehicle for awhile until they gave us a loaner. We were traveling when this occurred and had added expenses traveling to and from dealership.
I was also affected by the 2020 F-150 defective transmission. I’ve taken my vehicle in several times for the transmission and is going back next week for the transmission. I’d like to join the lawsuit, you can contact me at eltahrz@yahoo.com
