2018 5.0 10 speed - Transmission / Engine Issues
Hi all, I've found lots of good info on this forum and wanted to claim my seat and post a little information. Keep in mind this truck was a week old with 300 miles on it.
The other day i was leaving my house, went from reverse to drive, and was struggling to get up to speed. I noticed the indicator said i was in 7th gear. I shut down and restarted, it jerked from 1st gear into 7th. No matter what the speed or throttle position was it stayed locked in 7th gear. I drove straight to the dealership which was just down the highway, shut it down, restarted and it drove fine with the exception the check engine light had come on in route. The service dept told me there was a code for "transmission out of range" that had "cleared itself out".
Later that night I went to go drive it again and the engine light came back on. I checked the code and it was P0301, cyl 1 misfire. I brought it to the dealer, they overnighted a coil. They're keeping it through the weekend incase the transmission acts up again.
I love this truck, but i'm pretty bummed about this whole deal. Not what I expected from a truck I wanted to keep for 10 years. Hopefully the bugs can get worked out!
For reference:
2018 XL, Supercab, 5.0, 10spd, STX

I had a weird electronic issue w/ a brand new Chevy I bought many years ago. It popped up within 500 miles of new and I was barely able to drive it to the dealership. They updated the computer and I drove it another 166,000 miles without any problems.

These computer transmissions are something else. Had a 14 GMC, Right after brought had a recall. After that it never shifted the same. Clunk when stopped, Clunk when started up
They did a another reflash, than #2 recall. No better would something clunk while driving now. It only had 10,000 when traded, but tired of the issue and poor lighting among other things.
All repair would be on my dime, outside of the thing just cratering. Was an SLE AT so features were fewer than a denali. Have a 18 F150 limited which could mean, lot more bells and whistles
for issues.
So seems all makers can have issue with the transmission and other mechanical over programming.

Thanks for all the feedback! I'll mention the TSB to the dealer! I'm still worried about the transmission issue, hopefully it doesn't wait until after the warranty is up to break.

Just took delivery of my new 2018 Lariat 501A 5.0 on Tuesday.
I did have a steering issue right out of the gate, but the 5.0 and ten speed have been awesome so far.
I have experienced nothing but ultra smooth shifts and operation in the first 450 miles, lovin' it so far!
I hope they get yours sorted out soon. These 10 speeds can be really nice!

TSB 17-2262 might fix my problem, however i didn't see it listed in the thread. It locked me in 7th gear and wouldn't change regardless of throttle position (full throttle) or speed (all the way to 0 miles per hour). Restarted it once and it got me 1st gear, then went right into 7th again and stuck there for 7-8 miles on the highway. On the 3rd restart at the dealer (sat for 5 plus minutes) it stopped doing it. I'll definitely mention this TSB to the dealer, thanks!
