    I remember back in the early to mid 2000's, this seemed like a prevalent issue among several GM car lines, and Dodge was having some similar issues with the Ram trucks as well.

    Did any Ford vehicles from that time period have similar issues?

    The Ford/Mazda CD4E transmission had some similar widespread problems. I think they began using it in the early/mid 90s and possibly until a few years ago. I had a 2002 Escape and many owners were complaining.

    Then throw in the dual-clutch powershift transmission they put in the Fiesta and Focus starting around 2011 until Ford ceased making those models. Those are nightmare transmissions too that Ford new had clutch torque delivery design flaws before they released.

    Picked the truck up today from the dealer. They flushed and filled the trans, and so far,so good. We will see for how long though.

    Just for info, the newer 10 speed tranny was developed by both ford and gm and both use it.

    I dont like it as I think it shifts too much but that's my only complaint. My expedition is the 3rd vehicle I've had with it.
    I am really liking the 10 speed transmission so far. It does shift more often but I hardly even feel it.

    Edit to add: even when towing it is very smooth.

    I have the 10 speed now and have had the 8 speed. The first one I had was terrible. The second 8 speed I bought was fantastic, I think k they just has some teething problems.
