Narrative

9/16/22 My wife was driving about 50 mph when the transmission suddenly shifted into 1st gear causing the rear end of the truck to slide sideways and hit a curb. The force of the collision with the curb caused the right rear tire to blow out and my wife was left with bruises from the seatbelt. The was no warning prior to the incident. The truck was at the dealership on 7/13/22 for a recall for this same problem, they flashed the PCM and said that would fix the problem. I have since brought it back to the dealership they said the lead frame speed sensor in the transmission needs to be replaced and that is not covered by the recall and would cost over $2000. I also called Ford to report the incident Case # [XXX]. Ford stated this was normal wear and tear and they would not cover the repair. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
