While driving, my 2017 Ford F-150 with the 6-speed automatic will sometimes suddenly downshift on its own. This causes a hard jerk and a sudden change in speed, which feels unsafe especially at higher speeds. At other times, the truck will not shift into gear at all. For example, when backing out of a driveway or parking spot in reverse and then shifting into drive, the truck stalls. The only way to fix it is to put the truck completely in park, shut it off, and restart it before it will go into gear. This has forced me to be stopped in the middle of the road after backing out, waiting for the truck to restart, which is extremely dangerous when there is oncoming traffic. This has been occurring off and on for a long time now not just one date.

This vehicle is subject to NHTSA Recall #25V236 (Ford Recall #25S37) for a defective brake master cylinder that can leak into the brake booster, reducing braking effectiveness and creating a serious crash risk. The recall was issued on April 11, 2025. As of today, Ford has not provided any remedy. My local dealership confirmed that no fix is available, and Ford Corporate has refused to provide a loaner, rental allowance, or written timeline. This leaves me with an unsafe vehicle that I cannot rely on. This recall has been open for months without resolution, and Ford’s refusal to provide assistance places me and the public at risk. I request that NHTSA investigate Ford’s failure to provide a remedy in a timely manner, require Ford to provide comparable loaner/rental vehicles until the repair is available, and hold them accountable for this unreasonable delay.

The lead frame failed and was replaced by Ford dealer. The vehicle downshifts while driving. This through a code “wrench” on the dash board indicating something needed to be addressed. Took vehicle to a couple repair shops and a transmission shop and all confirmed it was a faulty lead frame. Transmission shop said to contact Ford because there had been recalls on this very issue for the same year and model truck. This issue started a couple months prior to the repair which was on 8/8/2025. I did call Ford and they gave me a phone number for Auto Line Program. I filed a complaint but it denied.
