Description of the problem	10-speed transmission: the transmission shifts very badly. Jerky shifting and often times the truck is sluggish when starting from a stop, often times to the point of acting like the engine is about to die. The only way to partially correct this issues is to drive aggressively and take off from a start with more throttle than one would normally want to. Occasionally you can hear/feel a knock from under the truck - underneath the driver's seat when you start the truck and place the transmission in drive. Other times when you start the truck and quickly place the transmission in drive the engine will cut off all while your right foot is still on the brake pedal. On one occasion while i was driving through an intersection on a highway at a slow speed (3 - 5 mph?) behind a car which made a right hand turn, i started accelerating and a very loud bang noise occurred that sounded like two cars hitting one another and a hard shake was felt. I checked my mirrors because i thought someone had rear-ended me. Just this terrible 10-speed transmission. All of what i have described is after taking the truck to 2 different ford dealerships. All they have done so far is to re-install software. I plan to take it back to a dealership for the third time hoping that maybe someone might test drive it and actually drop the transmission oil pan and actually look at the transmission. Maybe if i am lucky the transmission will self-destruct.
