Description of the problem	10 speed transmission has a pretty consistent history of shifting roughly, especially, shifting between gears 3 & 4. It actually fails to engage forward briefly and then makes a clanging noise before it shifts into 4th gear; in sport mode it will stick in 6th gear. I have reported these problems at least 4 times to shottenkirk ford in jasper ga when i have had scheduled maintenance performed. Every time i've brought my truck in for service i was just told a different excuse and they found nothing wrong with the transmission. The most recent service the service department said my truck was 2 quarts low on transmission fluid and that should fix the problem. My most recent and most concerning incident occurred while i was driving down the interstate and suddenly there was a loud popping noise, the truck began to swerve because of loss of power and then it kept trying to shift in between gears and then i noticed white smoke coming from the rear of my truck. The cars that had followed me started to drop back because my truck was spraying what i believe to have been transmission fluid out. I was out of town and had to have the truck towed to a dealership in columbia sc and after they checked the dip stick for the transmission fluid and claimed it had too much transmission fluid and it was not a warrantied item and that my truck was fine to drive. This transmission problem has been quite aggravating but now it poses a serious hazard to me and my family.
