| Description of the problem | 2010 ford f150 with 83,000 miles traveling 70 mph with cruise control on. Heard a loud thump then transmission locked up skidding 100 feet in uncontrolled fashion. Placed transmision shifter to neutral immediately when rpms were racing. Truck tried to go left but gained control with steering wheel. Took truck by tow truck to transmission shop and they found transmission had shifted from 6th gear to 1st gear causing the problem. Transmission was intact. Called ford dealer i bought from they said they would research sounded like they were not interested. This is a very dangerous defect to say the least and i noted 3 other similar experiences under car complaints. Com for this year yet no recall for this problem but has been issued for 2011 and 2012 models. Nhtsa should take note and make mandatory recall. |
