2023 Ford F-150 Hybrid

While driving on interstate vehicle lost all braking and steering. Numerous warning lights popped up. I almost was in a very bad accident. I was able to put transmission in manual and gear down and finally got steering back with no power and could maneuver off road. Truck then shut down and would not start again. Called Ford and not very helpful. Contacting attorney for help.

Sudden downshift with Vehicle Transmission causing vehicle to come to an unexpected stop. Vehicle can lock up wheels and become uncontrollable. Vehicle was taken in to Ford dealership and dealer technician verified the issue. Technician sent data to Ford. Dealer reported issue to Ford and Ford told dealer there is no fix. If this continues to happen an accident could occur.

The transmission downshifts s hard after the vehicle is fully warmed up it will cause the rear tires to lock up on wet or slippery road conditions This may cause a loss of control and put the occupants of the vehicle in danger The problem has not been confirmed by a dealer but it has been in twice for this issue. the dealers do not have enough time to drive the vehicle long enough for the transmission problem to start. There are no warning lamps on the dash, but I do have video proof of this occurring.

We were sitting in a friends driveway with car running but not moving. My daughter opened the rear passenger door and there was a loud noise. It sounded like a gunshot. We finally figured out the sunroof had burst. It had left a huge hole in the sunroof and glass was everywhere. There was no warning for this and i have not driven the vehicle since the incident. (2 weeks ago) Had we been moving and had my wife, 12 year old daughter and her friend in the car this could of put a lot of people in danger.
