As of today issue still not resolved Ford has taken over the investigation . Neither dealer can apply either tsb 72 or 58 ford is investigating , My problems are exactly what these tsbs fix except my truck has never had a check engine light come on so apparently that is why they cant update my firmware with these tsbs

While my 2015 was at shop being repaired they gave me a loaner which was a 2018 F 150 Supercrew 5.0 V8 10 speed automatic transmission. With cruise control set at 55 mph on a flat highway for a 45 minute drive I noticed the transmission never went into high gear 10th gear. This was the first time I drove a 10 speed so not familiar with them. It did have the auto start stop feature which I do not like because it just increases wear and tear on the starter. I had a 98 F 150 that had starter problems and that starter back then cost $600.00. It was a good thing that it was still under warranty. I bet a starter today on a V8 would cost more than it did back then.

I had been considering trading in and upgrading our F150 to this exact combo. So glad I stumbled on this thread. I will not be buying a new F150 until the issue is solved. According to postings, as of mid March 2018 it has not be resolved.

2018 10 speed shifting issues
Hello i was was wondering if you have found a fix to this issue yet? I just got a 2018 and am having the same issues to the T. I was just wanting to see where you are with this and if you had any contact information for ford or who you might be dealing with.

different software/programming strategies
easy explanation on why the 5.0 may experience different symptoms than the 3.5 or 2.7, or even the new 3 0 PSD
no different than the 6R80 having lots of issues on GM trucks, but was pretty solid on the F150s

Found Fix
i talked with a local dealers Master tech today and he has seen this problem multiple times. The fix is a new tcm or torque converter or both. The will do a tcm update twice then they are allowed to change either or both to fix the problem. Most of the times it’s the torque converter causing the problem.
