“While traveling on an interstate highway at night, my gas 2024 Ford Maverick Lariat unexpectedly shifted into neutral. I was not sure what was happening as the truck began to slow even while I was accelerating, I then realized it was in neutral. While still traveling at approximately 40 mph I shifted back into drive and everything was ok.”
