## Narrative
On April 28th, 2023 at approx. 1800 this Ford F-150 malfunctioned yet again.  While traveling east on Interstate I-70 in a construction zone near Saint Clairsville, OHIO, this F-150 was set on cruise speed for the construction zone.  This F-150 shifted from 8th gear down to 3rd gear.  This uncommanded and unprompted change of speed injured my neck and nearly ended my family's life and the lives of others.  The 18 wheeler carrying thousands of gallons of fuel behind me NEARLY clipped my rear end.  As this change in speed was did not included BRAKE LIGHTS, because I did not hit my brake pedal.  This F-150 is a danger to society and will certainly kill a construction worker, police officer, or any one near it.  Perhaps it will take out a critical bridge or other important infrastructure?????  I  just hope it doesn't kill a presidential motorcade.  This truck is a hazard.  I am NOT in control of the truck at highway speed.  I will not be accountable for the impending disaster this truck will cause.  YOU ARE!  This F-150 does have the 10R80 transmission, so you are aware of the danger.  What are you going to do????  My son has name this truck "MURDER TRUCK", he fears riding in it.  He refuses to risk his life in this F150.  Please contact me NOW. [XXX].  The corvair was recalled for far less.  Simply driving this....is the danger/hazard.  I know you don't give a [XXX].  So [XXX] you for doing nothing.  INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C
