NHTSA Complaint #11408645 — 2014 FORD F-150

FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED YESTERDAY 4/17/21 WHEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES AM HOUR THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT UP FROM FIRST GEAR, OR IT INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE AND IT WORKED LIKE NORMAL. TODAY 4/18/21 I'VE HAD TWO INCIDENTS, THE FIRST WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH THE VEHICLE DROPPED DOWN TO 2ND GEAR, RAPIDLY SLOWING. I SHOWED TO FIRST GEAR, PUT INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK TO DRIVE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65-70 MPH MY TRUCK SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED FROM 6TH TO 2ND GEAR, DECELERATING EXTREMELY QUICKLY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO AN EXIT AND PUT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE AND THE TRANSMISSION RESUMED LIKE NORMAL. THIS IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE FACT THIS VEHICLE IS MY DAILY DRIVER AND I USUALLY HAVE MY KIDS IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. IM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING NOW ESPECIALLY AFTER LEARNING THIS EXACT ISSUE WAS RECALLED ON THE VEHICLES A YEAR BEFORE MINE WITH THREE SAME 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION, BUT NOT ON MY YEAR.
