Transmission shudders, slips or shifts hard

What got replaced

Few of these reports name the part that was replaced.

Recalls and investigations

One recall on the transmission and drivetrain covers the 2024 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.

When it happens

Too few of these reports state a mileage to give a range.

What owners wrote

“There is a severe throttle lag that is random. It has caused near collisions due to the response time. The truck will also randomly jerk forward. I reported it to dealer and they said it was normal and to drive the truck in sport mode. This not a solution and will cause an accident if not resolved soon”

“When I shift out of N or P into drive there is loud and aggressive clunk. Like the tranny is gonna drop out the bottom! It’s a tight grip, the shifter doesn’t want to move. Potential to run someone in a car park or walking down the sidewalk.”

“The vehicle has acceleration hesitation. Sometimes when trying to go from a complete stop the vehicle is almost dead and doesn’t move then it feels as if the “clutch was popped “ in a manual but it is an automatic.”

“Anytime I come to a yield/traffic circle and do not have to come to a complete stop, when I push the accelerator there is a hesitation and then the truck lurches forward. It happens quite often when I slow down to 5mph give or take before accelerating again. I would estimate it has happened 50 times since I have owned the truck which I bought with 300 miles on it.”
