Ford Drivers in Canada May Benefit from New Class-Action Lawsuit

Allegations Behind the Lawsuit: Faulty Transmission Linked to Major Problems

The class-action lawsuit claims that Ford’s 10R80 transmission, introduced in 2017, has resulted in serious operational issues for a range of vehicles in Canada. The Canadian version of Ford’s transmission system has been plagued by complaints from owners, who report frustrating malfunctions. According to Charney Lawyers, consumers have taken to online forums and contacted Ford directly, expressing dissatisfaction with the vehicle’s shifting patterns, jerking movements, and unintended downshifting, particularly at high speeds.

Owners of the affected models, including the Ford Expedition, Ford Mustang, Ford Ranger, Ford F-150, and Lincoln Navigator (all model years 2017/2018 to present), have shared a range of troubling issues, including:

• Unintended Lunging: A sudden, unexpected lurch forward when shifting from park to drive.
• Shuddering and Shimmying: An unsettling vibration and jerking motion while driving, especially at high speeds.
• Shifting Difficulties: Difficulty in smoothly changing gears, making for a less-than-ideal driving experience.
• Premature Wear: Reports suggest the clutch plates and other transmission components are wearing down prematurely.
• Erratic Gearshifting: In some cases, vehicles would shift gears without driver input, creating an alarming safety concern.

In response to these widespread complaints, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) launched an investigation in the U.S. that could impact approximately 1.3 million vehicles. Similarly, Transport Canada began a similar probe after receiving complaints from at least 11 Canadians.
