Transmission Fluid Leaking problems of the 2010 Ford F-150

Power steering out - fluid leak under hood - in driveway.

Takata recall. When pulling out into traffic on a very busy highway as the on coming traffic speed limit is 50mph, I'm pulling out on the highway with a safe distance between cars on this busy road as I accelerated my 2010 f150 fx4 super crew cab "with my family in the truck I might add" the truck just down shifts and it slams me and my family forward "like I hit a tree going 30mph" the truck shuts off completely and a symbol of a wrench pops up on the dashboard. With no power steering, no power breaks, no way to safely move the truck off the road at this point due to the traffic I was trying to avoid was passing me going at least 50mph almost getting rear ended by several cars and semi trucks, I push the flashers on and pray that nothing bad happens and coast until the truck finally comes to a stop after about 30-45 seconds. I get out of the truck after the group of vehicles pass by and inspected to see if the engine or transmission was blown up or leaking fluid and nothing at this point so I'm stressed out because my family and I could have very well died and there is no proof of this when I restarted the truck no symbols was present when inspected by a mechanic. I keep telling the mechanic that it has no power any more, it sooooo sluggish I can't even drive the truck much anymore, only on short trips to the store. We had to cancel or vacation and cancel the purchase of a camper for our vacation. I'm sorry but if Ford was a real symbol of safety and security of its owners this would have never happened in the first place. This needs to be fixed ASAP!!!.

Bulkhead switch leaking transmission fluid.

Noticed a fluid leak when vehicle was parked in driveway. Discovered it was red transmission fluid coming from the top of the transmission. The electrical plug to the transmission is wet. The truck is babied and very lightly used with only 19,311 miles on it.

National highway traffic safety administration. After coming home from a week of business travel, my neighbor came over to inform me that my 2010 f150 fx4 with the 5. 4 v8 and 6 speed transmission was leaking transmission fluid on the driveway. After checking under the truck I looked under the hood for the transmission oil dip stick so I could check the fluid level. To my surprise, there is no transmission oil dip stick. After looking thru the owner¿s manual, it states that the transmission is a sealed transmission and doesn't need any oil except if there is a problem. Well obviously if there is a leak, there is a problem and there is no way to add fluid to prevent an failure issue. I then contact a dealer near my georgia home and took it in for service. They told me it was a transmission bulkhead connector seal leak and it would cost $600. 00 to repair. This is outrageous. After looking thru the internet, I found the Ford TSB 11-3-25. From my search, there are thousands of people reporting this issue. Since the transmission could leak until it doesn't have enough fluid to make it work properly, thus causing drivability issues. I would think this should be considered a safety issue and be a recall, not just a TSB. Therefore, I'm writing you this email to advise you of this issue incase you are not aware of it.
