Ford F Electric Transmission Defect
Summary of the thread
A 2022 Ford F electric vehicle is experiencing significant transmission issues, including unresponsive paddle shifters, slipping, grinding noises, and emergency mode activation. These symptoms, along with a stored error code, suggest a defective transmission control unit. The recommended solution is to have the transmission control unit replaced, as confirmed by a professional diagnosis.

Thanks for the reply! It was sort of gradual, I guess. The shifting got a little rougher over a few weeks and the paddle shifters less responsive. As for the error code, I can't remember the exact number, but it pointed towards the transmission control unit, said something about 'malfunction'. Any thoughts?

Sounds like the same thing that happened to my BMW. I also kept driving it a little with the rough shifting, which probably didn't help. With the error code and symptoms you described, it really does sound like a faulty control unit. In my case, the dealer had to replace the whole unit. Best to take it to a workshop before something breaks completely. Good luck!

You were spot on. Took it to a shop, and they confirmed it's a defective transmission control unit. Quoted me 1000€ for the repair! Thanks so much for sharing your experience; it really helped me get a better understanding before heading to the shop.

That sounds rough! I had similar issues with my old 2015 BMW 3 Series, though it wasn't electric. The symptoms you're describing - the slipping, the grinding, the emergency mode - were almost identical to what I experienced. Did you notice any difference in performance leading up to this, or did it just happen suddenly? What error code did you get?
