I am reporting a safety-related transmission problem I experienced with my 2023 Ford F-150 equipped with the 10R80 automatic transmission. While driving normally, the transmission suddenly shifts violently, lurches from P to D, delayed shifting. This occurred while while driving under normal conditions creating a potentially dangerous situation because the truck did not respond as expected when I needed predictable acceleration or propulsion. I believe this incident may be related to the known 10R80 CDF clutch-cylinder/sleeve problem. Ford technical information identifies axial movement of the CDF sleeve that can cause hydraulic-circuit leaks and harsh or delayed engagement and shifting. This condition can result in slipping, RPM flares, delayed engagement, unexpected gear changes, harsh downshifts, lurching, or loss of propulsion. This is a safety concern, not merely a transmission quality or reliability issue. Unexpected loss of propulsion or unpredictable shifting while merging, accelerating into traffic, crossing an intersection, turning, or traveling at highway speed can create a collision hazard. Because I personally experienced this unexpected transmission event, I request that NHTSA investigate the 10R80 CDF clutch-cylinder/sleeve condition in Ford F-150s. Please review Ford warranty claims, dealer repair records, transmission replacements, consumer complaints, and field-failure data to determine whether this is a safety defect requiring a recall. I believe owners should not have to wait for a potentially dangerous transmission failure before this known condition is addressed.

Pirelli Tires on F150 prematurely cracking & failing w/only 16,700 miles on the tire. Tread barely has any wear. On Saturday evening XXX Left rear tire wall blew out & PSI on tire went from 35 to 0 in less than 1 second. Upon closer inspection, all tires have premature cracks in the walls & the concern is that they could also fail and explode at any moment. We were not traveling at a high speed when the rear tire wall failed, but things could have been very different if we had been a highway - without doubt a major accident would have occurred. Brought the truck immediately to Coggins Deland Ford on [XXX] on Monday morning XXX where I purchased F150 brand new about 30 months ago, there is only about 16,700 miles on the truck. I am well within the tire warranty that Ford offers for the tires & well within bumper to bumper. All 4 tires should be replaced per the Ford tire warranty as they show signs of defect. The dealer has only approved the replacement of the tire that blew out so far & instructed me to contact the tire manufacture about the other tires that are cracking at 16K miles - I contacted Pirelli and was told since the dealer is giving me a hard time, Pirelli provided me with a case number and told me to tell the dealership to file a claim which they already know to do. Ford should provide the tire warranty on the tires per their own policy that is clearly stated on [XXX]. The dealer at first tired to tell me the tire only has warranty for 12,000 but it is not true, Ford provides prorated warranty on new tires up to 36,000 miles - when I showed the tire warranty chart from [XXX]- the service manager agreed with me & told me the service rep didn't inform me correctly & apologized. I just want defective tires replaced per the warranty that I was promised when I purchased my truck, I want to feel safe driving. Ford should not risk my life or my families life- the cracks are visible. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
