While driving, the vehicle routinely experiences a complete \"neutral-out\" or severe shift flare when attempting to transition out of 1st gear. Instead of engaging 2nd or 3rd gear, the transmission completely drops out of gear into a false neutral. During this failure, the vehicle experiences an immediate and total loss of forward propulsion for several seconds while the engine revs freely. After a dangerous delay, the transmission violently slams back into gear. This is an acute safety hazard. Losing all forward acceleration unexpectedly—specifically when pulling out from a complete stop, navigating intersections, or merging into fast-moving traffic—leaves the vehicle stranded and completely defenseless against oncoming traffic. It creates an immediate risk of a severe rear-end or broadside collision, as trailing drivers do not expect a vehicle to suddenly lose all power. Ford is fully aware of this mechanical defect, as documented in their internal Technical Service Bulletin TSB 25-2126 (and its predecessors). The bulletin notes that an internal CDF clutch drum bushing physically slips out of place, blocking hydraulic fluid passages and starving the transmission of pressure. Because this is a known factory engineering defect that causes an unpredictable loss of propulsion in active traffic, it should be treated as a critical safety hazard rather than a standard wear-and-tear component. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this systemic 10R80 CDF drum failure to protect consumers from catastrophic accidents.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"F-150","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
