This NHTSA investigation is going to get bigger for Unintended Transmission Downshift and Rear Wheel Lock up.
Unexpected transmission downshift without warning or driver input, often accompanied by a temporary rear wheel lock-up.
Ford F-150 vehicles alleging an unexpected, unrequested transmission downshift to a
lower gear while traveling at highway speeds without any prior warning or driver input. This
unrequested transmission downshift would cause unexpected rapid vehicle deceleration. Certain
consumer complaints additionally allege that the vehicle’s rear wheels temporarily lock, seize,
and/or skid during the downshift resulting in a loss of vehicle control increasing the risk for crash
and injury.
