10th gear unresponsive
2020 F-250 6.7 diesel (03/20 build date)
This has happened to me at least 4 times (twice today)... While cruising in 10th, the truck will feel like I have released the accelerator pedal. So I pressed the pedal and I get nothing, I even floored it. It finally started responding after I completely took my foot off, then pressed pedal again multiple times. I've also had, what feels like, the trans missing a gear completely while accelerating (not skipping a gear, like free revving) Scares the crap out of me having to think about trying to pass someone and my truck will randomly decide not to respond.
Has anyone encountered this or similar?

My 2020 F-250 7.3 gas (45k miles, 2/2020 build) has recently started to behave that as soon as it shifts into 10th (around 40-45 MPH), it feels like it loses power. It doesn't slow down, it just feels like pushing a wet noodle. Pushing down on the throttle gets no response. Stomping on the pedal eventually seems to wake it up, and it shifts down to 7 or 8 and starts to accelerate. It's unnerving to say the least. The transmission overall has started to become more laggy and jerky like someone who can't drive a stick shift. Have a service appointment to look into it but the problem is intermittent. One dealer has looked at it but didn't fix the problem.
edit: the second dealer I went to acknowledged that it was a problem, but didn’t have availability in their shop yet to tear down and investigate further. I will update when I know more.
