2024 Ford F-150 transmission problems

Filed Nov 5, 2026 · Transmission · CA

On November 5, 2026, after parking my vehicle, I noticed that part of the automatic transmission gear shift assembly had broken off. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the damage was not limited to the exterior plastic cover or trim. An internal plastic component that serves a mechanical function within the gear selector had also broken or become detached. The affected internal component appears to be part of the push-button mechanism used to operate the gear shifter and select transmission positions, including Park, Reverse, Neutral, and Drive. With this component no longer properly secured in place, it has become noticeably more difficult to operate the gear selector and shift between gears. This is not simply a cosmetic issue. The failure involves a functional component of the transmission gear selection mechanism, raising concerns about the reliability and safe operation of the vehicle. I am concerned that the damaged mechanism could further deteriorate, potentially preventing me from selecting the intended gear or shifting into Park, Reverse, or Drive when necessary. The damaged components are made of plastic, and the failure appears to have occurred within the gear shift assembly. Photographs documenting the damage are available. I believe this issue warrants investigation because it affects a critical vehicle control used during normal operation and could present a safety risk if the mechanism fails completely.

URGENT SAFETY COMPLAINT – 2024 FORD F-150 TREMOR Since May 2026, my 2024 Ford F-150 Tremor has repeatedly experienced a dangerous transmission gear-shifting malfunction. Without warning, the gear selector locks, preventing the vehicle from engaging Drive, Reverse, or Park, leaving it immobilized. This has occurred in parking garages, blocking entrances and exits, and on interstate highways after stopping in traffic. The vehicle can become stranded in active traffic with no reliable way to move it to safety. This creates an extreme collision risk, potentially resulting in serious injuries or fatalities involving myself, my family, and other motorists. This is not an isolated concern. Ford issued Technical Service Bulletin 25-2276 addressing gear shift module failures in 2021–2025 F-150 trucks, including inability to shift into Park or out of gear. the federal safety agency complaints 11745086 and 11751717 describe similar failures in 2024 F-150 vehicles. Despite the recurring safety hazard, Ford has refused to repair my vehicle without charging me, citing expiration of the 3-year/36,000-mile warranty due to mileage. A potentially life-threatening safety defect should not be dismissed solely because the vehicle exceeds its warranty mileage. I respectfully request that the federal safety agency investigate these recurring failures, determine whether a broader safety defect exists, and evaluate whether a safety recall and manufacturer-funded repairs are warranted. I fear that continued operation could result in a preventable fatal accident. Immediate investigation is necessary to protect vehicle owners, passengers, and the public.

Safety recall 25V512 has been open and unfulfilled for nearly a year. The dealer says parts are not available and cannot provide a date when they will be. I can’t believe Ford cannot get parts for a critical recall but can still produce over 1/2 million new trucks annually.

While driving in Sport mode on an interstate, during descending downhill, the transmission started down shifting. At that time near the bottom of the hill was standing water on an area. It was suddenly like hitting the brakes & I hydroplaned, but luckily I never touched the brakes. The down shifting at the same time as hitting the water caused the vehicle to loose control of the road. Luckily I regained control by steering and did not wreck. There should be a safety warning on this issue or a correction in the vehicle down shifting
