The Ford F-150 is America's best selling truck for good reason. It’s powerful, hard-working and roomy with spacious cargo bay and passenger areas, but if you own one, you might experience some significant Ford F-150 transmission problems. It's a short drive from Folsom to our shop and we will let you know exactly what's going on and how to fix it.
The 2004, 2005, and 2010 models exhibit the most Ford F-150 transmission problems. The other vintages don’t seem to struggle quite as much with this specific issue.Ford F150 owners have reported:
Clunking sounds: If you hear any strange clunking or clicking noises while driving, there is a high chance they could be coming from a faulty transmission.
Burning smell: Burning while driving could indicate a lack of fluid in the Ford F-150’s transmission.
Sluggish or no response: An excellent transmission will leap forward, while a poor one will struggle to push forward.
Fluid leaks: Red or brown leaks mean something’s wrong with the transmission, while clear means there’s nothing wrong.
Check engine light: A check engine light could mean many things, one being a fault with the transmission.
The problems noted here relate mostly to gasoline powered trucks with either a 10-speed 10r80 or the 6-speed 6r80 units.
