NHTSA Complaint #11519290 — 2011 FORD F-150

Today while driving, I turned from a main road into a residential neighborhood and my vehicle decided to stay stuck in first gear. I pulled over, turned it over thinking it would reset. It didn’t. I continued to drive the vehicle in first gear, which won’t shift until it gets to 6000 rpm’s in order to shift to second. So here I am, in a residential zone where the speed limit is 25 MPH stuck in first with no way to get out other than to speed up enough to get to 6000 rpm’s. People were very upset. However this is the predicament this vehicle frequently leaves me in. Fords aware of it. The public is aware of it. Nothing gets done. Meanwhile there are several scenarios that are major safety hazards that occur due to this faulty vehicle. I am told that parts won’t be in for my vehicle for several weeks or even months. So I’m stuck putting drivers and neighbors around me in danger cause Ford won’t admit to their faulty products. So disappointing all the way around.
