2020 Ford F-150 complaints

Vehicle has 8000 miles on it. Tires were put on by Ford dealership. They are the Goodyear Wrangler territory at tires. They are considered a new tire that was created by Goodyear this year. The tires have not been taken off road. Tires have only been driven on pavement to and from carpool. The front passenger tire was taken in to discount tire to have the tire assessed of why it was losing air pressure constantly. The side wall that faces out, has A split on the sidewall. It does not appear to be a puncture. It is very small and could barely be seen. It looks to be dried and splitting. No curbs have been hit with that front tire. Another tire previously had been taken from the back end to the dealership to be looked at for losing air. Iraq had ripped the rubber between the tire tread and created a hole. Again tires were at 3000 miles at this point in February and had not been taken off road at this point either. Goodyear was contacted because the owners had to pay out of pocket to completely replace the tire and a good year paid half of the cost for a new tire as part of their bad luck new car owner program. The tires are supposed to be an upgrade and be all-terrain. They have not even been taken off road and have had and now two major incidences. The tires seem very weak and there are currently no recalls because they have only been on vehicles for a short period of time. We have not been able to find them in any place other than the dealership to replace the tire because th

On two occasions (4/18 and 6/10) the vehicle shut off while driving. A dashboard message said “put vehicle in park and restart engine”. The dealer service center could not find the cause. I contacted Ford Motor Company and was given a case number and the vehicle was checked again at the dealer service center in conjunction with Ford Motor Company via phone. No cause was found. I was told it most likely was a one time fluke. After the second event on 6/10 I drove immediately to the service center. I took a picture of the dashboard message. Again, no cause could be found. I reported this to the Ford Customer Experience Specialist. I asked the specialist for the email address of someone with higher authority or in their safety department and was told if I did not want to continue with Ford “someone higher would be the Better Business Bureau”. Both instances of the truck shutting off have been on residential streets while driving about 20 MPH. I have repeatedly voiced my fear that the vehicle would shut off while on the highway or thruway and the result could be catastrophic.

Transmission Shift Concern: While driving in town at low speeds and on the highway at posted speeds of 70 or 75mph, and even at take off from a complete stop, I am experiencing issues with how my 2020 F150 10spd transmission shifts. At times, during all of the above instances, shifting can be very rough and noisy, can be delayed causing delayed acceleration, and even when I start the truck, I sometimes here a clunk and the truck may even slightly lurch forward. **I have had two instances now of my truck hesitating in the middle of a highway at take off. After the first time, I immediately contacted the dealership. I took the truck only to be told it could not be duplicated. **When traveling at low speeds in town you feel and audibly hear the transmission shift and sometimes jerk. **When traveling at highway speeds, especially when on cruise control, and the truck downshifts from 10th to 8th gear, the sound of the shift has become audible and you feel it. At other times, the shift is smooth and functions as I would expect. **When starting the vehicle, there are times when you hear a clunking sound then the vehicle will slightly move as if it where given a slight push. I have expressed my concern to the dealership where I purchased the truck on more than one occasion. The first time I was told by the service rep that this is normal for the truck. The second time was when the truck stalled at takeoff in the middle of the highway. This time I was told to bring the truck in. I was

While backing out of a residential driveway, While turning the steering wheel the Right front wheel caught the edge of the curb and had a catastrophic failure of the right front upper ball joint. Wheel and knuckle collapsed under the wheel well. The vehicle is new with 8600 miles on it. While removing the wheel in order to tow it, found there was no torque nut on the balljoint stud. It was transported to a certified Ford dealership where it is being evaluated for repairs. Suspension, steering, alignment, sensors are non operational and damaged. The nut was either never put on, or was never tightened. No prior warnings were given. Had we been driving at speed I have no doubt we would have sustaine major injury or worse. Dealership has reported documentation of the aformentioned problem, and pictures sent to Ford administration with no response yet.

I brought my truck into Crown Ford in Lynbrook NY for an oil change and to have the rear camera recall repaired. They did not repair the camera and told me that they only work on the recall if there is a problem noticed by the driver or if the camera fails. I am going to bring it to another dealership to have it repaired.

At approximately 9700 miles my truck has started malfuctioning and causing a safety risk. On takeoff the truck feels powerless until approximately 3 seconds after pressing the gas pedal. While crossing an intersection, I hit the gas which moved my truck forward very slowly in front of on-coming traffic but took approximately 3 seconds to start moving at the rate of speed a vehicle normally should. I could have been T-boned from this. The main issue I have noticed is while driving between 20 and 40 mph and giving enough gas to maintain speed, the truck starts jolting back and forth until I either let my foot off the gas or floor it. It also makes a clunking noise in the rear end while this happens. I called Ford and scheduled an appointment which was 4 weeks out and they just told me to "Take it easy driving it, it will be fine." This is not a once in a while issue, this happens every single time I drive my truck and does not go away no matter how long I'm driving it for.

The contact owns a 2020 Ford F-150. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V575000 (Visibility) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the rear-view camera failed intermittently, which resulted in a blank or distorted image displayed on the display screen. The dealer was made aware of the recall and the failure. The dealer informed the contact that parts were on back order. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 500. Parts distribution disconnect.

Back glass shattered with no impact waiting at a red light. Heard a pop sound and the whole back glass shattered. Live in Florida so we did not have the defrost on.

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V575000 (VISIBILITY) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT CALLED Dwayne Lane's Skagit Ford (680 Auto Blvd, Burlington, WA 98233, (855) 879-5700) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I HAVE 2 MAJOR ISSUES: 1. MY TAILGATE KEEPS OPENING ON ITS OWN. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AS WELL AS WHEN IT IS PARKED. DAMAGE HAPPENED TO THE TAILGATE WHEN IT OPENED ON ITS OWN IN THE GARAGE AND WAS LEANING AGAINST THE GARAGE DOOR WHEN MY WIFE OPENED THE GARAGE DOOR TO LEAVE IN HER VEHICLE. IT ALSO HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT GARAGE ISSUE HAPPENED THIS MORNING AND WILL PUT THAT AS THE DATE IT HAPPENED BELOW. 2. ALSO THE LANE MINDING SYSTEM KEEPS ALARMING TELLING ME TO PUT MY HANDS ON THE WHEEL WHEN I HAVE NEVER LET GO OF THE WHEEL IN THE FIRST PLACE - THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING TOO STRAIGHT, THAT THE SYSTEM WANTS TO DETECT MOVEMENT IN THE STEERING WHEEL (AM I SUPPOSED TO DRIVE SERPENTINE DOWN THE ROAD TO KEEP MY VEHICLE’S ALARM FROM GOING OFF AND DISTRACTING ME?). THE ALARM HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING ON STRAIGHT AREAS OF THE ROAD. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE, PRETTY MUCH ON A DAILY BASIS SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK.

MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT EXIT OUT OF A DRIVE OR MOVING UNTIL I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND DISCONNECTED THE NEG BATTERY CABLE. THE VEHICLE STAYED IN A STATE OF HIGH RPMS. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS AND NO WARNINGS DISPLAYED ON THE TRUCK DISPLAY. THIS IS THE SECOND "SPEEDING OUT OF CONTROL" SITUATION IN TWO DAYS. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, MY FAMILY, AND EVERYONE AROUND ME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TRIGGERS THE ONSET OF THIS CONDITION. I EXITED FROM STATE HIGHWAY 5 ONTO EXIT 104 (HWY 101) AND TOOK A LEFT ON MUD BAY ROAD. I WAS TRAVELING 30-35 MPH WHEN I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP TO MAKE THE RIGHT TURN INTO THE SWIMMING FACILITY. MY TRUCK WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. I PUSHED HE BRAKES VERY HARD TO PREVENT THE TRUCK FROM SPEEDING UNCONTROLLABLY. I PULLED IN TO A PARKING SPOT AS BEST AS I COULD. THE TRUCK RPMS WERE MAXED. I OWN AN AUTOMATIC DRIVE. WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, I SHIFTED FROM D TO N. THERE WAS A LOUD SOUND OF GEARS DURING THE SHIFT. THE TRUCK RPMS WERE STILL MAXED OUT. I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK AND PLACED THE TRUCK IN P. I ALSO ENABLED THE PARKING BRAKE. I STARTED THE TRUCK AND THE TRUCK RPMS WERE STILL MAXED OUT. I KEPT THE TRUCK RUNNING FOR AN ADDITIONAL 30 SECONDS. MY WIFE AND BYSTANDERS INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL EMANATING FROM THE TRUCK. I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK AND THE TRUCK DISPLAYED AN "OVERHEATING" WARNING. I ALLOWED THE TRUCK TO COOL DOWN AND DISCONNECTED THE NEG BATTERY CABLE FOR 15 MIN. AFTER I RECONNECTED THE NEG CABLE, THE TRUCK RESET TO NO

MY TRUCK ACCELERATED TWICE WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS STOPPED AT A YIELD SIGN WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO PASS. I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, MY TRUCK IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED. I PRESSED THR BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN AND THE TRUCK ENGINE/TRANSMISSION RPMS DID NOT DECREASE UNTIL THE TRUCK FULLY STOPPED. I INTENTIONALLY STOPPED ABOUT 10 METERS BEHIND THE NEXT VEHICLE IN A LEFT TURN LANE. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. THE TRUCK ACCELERATED BY ITSELF TOO FAST. I HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES HARD AGAIN. AFTER I PRESSED THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AGAIN, THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION RESET TO NORMAL OPERATION. I DID NOT EXPERIENCE THR PROBLEM ON THE REMAINING DRIVE HOME. I WAS EXITING OFF OF A HIGHWAY 5 TO EXIT ON TO A CITY STREET. THIS ACCELERATION WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF THERE WERE CARS IN FRONT OF MY TRUCK. CONSUMER STATED HE WENT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD "SPEEDING OUT OF CONTROL" WAS CAUSE BY GAS PEADL STICKING TO 3RD PARTY FLOOR MAT. CONSUMER REMOVED THE FLOOR MAT.*JB

MY 2020 FORD F-150 CREW CAB XLT WITH 38000 MILES HAD A SEAT FAILURE ON MAY 05, 2021 WHEN I HIT A POTHOLE ON I-75 NEAR LEXINGTON KY WHILE TRAVELING 70 MILES PER HOUR. I COULD EAISLY SEE OVER STEERING WHEEL WITH MY 5'2" HEIGHT SINCE OUR PURCHASE OF THIS FAMILY HAULER VEHICLE MANY MONTHS AGO. AT THE IMPACT OF SMALL POTHOLE THE SEAT DROPPED ABOUT 3 INCHES, I HAD TO PULL UP WITH MY ARMS ON STEERING WHEEL TO SEE OUT WINDSHIELD TO MAKE IT TO SHOULDER. I PILED COATS UNDER ME TO MAKE IT HOME. MY HUSBAND AND I FOUND BROKEN PLASTIC UNDER SEAT? I WEIGH 105 LBS AND MY HUSBAND WEIGHS 205 LBS. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THE SEAT IN A 50,000 DOLLAR TRUCK WOULD BE MADE OF CHEAP PLASTIC AND FAIL THAT EASY. REPAIR SHOP ADVISED THIS IS COMMON IN NEW FORD TRUCKS. VERY UNSAFE!

NOTHING

I WAS TURNED UP A DRIVEWAY AND THE TRUCK STALLED THE WARNING LIGHT SAID AUTO START STOP PUT IN P AND START ENGINE. I TURNED OFF AUTO START STOP AND PUT IN P AND IT STARTED

PURCHASED MY F150 NEW AND FROM THE DEALER AND THE FRAME WAS OIL SPRAYED TO PREVENT CORROSION AND RUST BEFORE TAKING THE VEHICLE HOME. TRUCK NOW SITS JUST UNDER 8,000MI AND THE REAR AXLE AND A GOOD PORTION OF FASTENERS ARE ALL RUSTY AS IF THE TRUCK IS 15YRS OLD. THE SKID PLATE UNDER THE TRANSFER CASE LOOKS LIKE IT MAY HAVE BEEN ZINC PLATED FROM THE FACTORY BUT NOW IT'S ALL PITTED AND CORRODED AND DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A NEW TRUCK. I CAN'T HARDLY BELIEVE THAT AFTER SUCH A SHORT TIME THE UNDERSIDE LOOKS LIKE THIS AS IF THERE WAS NO PAINT APPLIED TO ANYTHING AT THE FACTORY. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF AND FIXED BY FORD.

FOR THE 3RD TIME WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY 2020 F150 STX WITH ONLY 4,218 MILES THE ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY AND DISPLAYED 'AUTO STARTSTOP SHIFT TO P, THEN RESTART ENGINE' ON THE DASH DISPLAY. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ON 4/22/21 I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A STREET GOING ABOUT 20 MPH. FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME OR BEHIND ME AND I WAS NOT TRYING TO TURN AT AN INTERSECTION WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A COLLISION. THE SAME THING HAD HAPPENED ON 3/18/21 WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET GOING ABOUT 15 MPH. AND THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ON 2/20/21 I WAS PULLING IN TO MY DRIVEWAY SO STOPPING AND DOING SO WAS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM. I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I FELT VERY UNSAFE IN MY TRUCK IF THIS PROBLEM DOESN'T GET RESOLVED PEOPLE CAN GET IN TO AN ACCIDENT AND GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND ALSO CHECKED MY VIN FOR ANY RECALLS AND I WAS SURPRISED TO NOT FIND ANY. FROM RESEARCHING ONLINE FORUMS THE AUTO START/STOP FUNCTION APPEARS TO BE FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED/RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE WIDESPREAD AND ACROSS MULTIPLE MODEL YEARS. ON 4/24/21 I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT THE TECH CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT THEY RAN SEVERAL TESTS AND THE TRUCK DID NOT GIVE ANY PROBLEM CODES. FOR SAFETY DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DID NOT WANT ME TO DRIVE TRUCK SO THEY WOULD KEEP IT AND WOULD CONTACT FORD TO REPORT ISSUE AND WAIT FOR THEIR RECOMMENDATION. I'M S

ON APRIL 21, 2021, AT 09:10 I PARKED MY 2020 F150 XLT SPORT IN MY WORK PARKING LOT. THE TRUCK WAS LOCKED AND UNOCCUPIED. AT 16:10, I APPROACHED THE VEHICLE FROM THE FRONT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. AS I NEARED THE BACK DOOR TO PLACE MY ITEMS INSIDE, I NOTICED GLASS SHARDS ON THE EDGE OF THE TRUCK BED. I PROCEEDED TO UNLOCK AND OPEN THE REAR DOOR AND NOTICED AN APPROX. 8 INCH BY 2 INCH GASH ON THE RIGHT REAR SEDENTARY WINDOW, THE ENTIRE STATIONARY REAR GLASS WAS "SPIDER SHATTERED". THE GLASS SHARDS WERE IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK AND ALONG THE RIM OF THE BED EDGES. I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE FOR OTHER DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN USE, NOT OCCUPIED AND NO OBJECTS TO CAUSE DAMAGE. ALSO NOTE, THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DID NOT EXCEED 66F

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO HAVE INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH UP AND DOWN SHIFTING ANYWHERE FROM GEARS 1-7. FEELINGS OF TRANSMISSION SLIP AND HESITATION TO SHIFT. ALSO IT IS NOISY SOMETIMES. YOU CAN HEAR IT DOWNSHIFT. IT SOUNDS LIKE A HARD STEEL CLUNK. ONLY ONE TIME THOUGH HAVE I EXPERIENCE A MODERATE DOWNSHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS THAT SLOWED THE VEHICLE MUCH MORE THAN THE BRAKING DID. I HAVE NO PHOTOS OR DEALER REPORTS OF THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE DEALER SAID 'THEY JUST SHIFTED ROUGH'

FORD CAMERAS RECALL: 20C19 AND 20B39. I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF THE RECALL DURING NORMAL MAINTENANCE ON MARCH 1, 2021, NOT VIA FORD HEADQUARTERS. APPARENTLY, THE RECALL WAS ON 09/23/20. TWO DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS (IN PALM DESERT AREA) HAVE SAID ONE OF THE CAMERAS IS ON BACKORDER WITH NO CLEAR INDICATION WHEN IT WOULD BE RECEIVED FOR INSTALLATION. THEREFORE, FROM THE DATE OF THE RECALL UNTIL NOW (APPROXIMATELY 6-MONTHS), I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE CORRECTED PARTS OR INSTALLATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE BRAKES LOCKED UP ON ITS OWN, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE VEHICLE STOPPED, THE BRAKES UNLOCKED AND THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FOR THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE WITH NO ISSUE. HOWEVER THE FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN THIS TIME THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 55 MPH IN THE SNOW WHEN THE BRAKES LOCKED UP CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLIDE, HIT AND GO OVER A GUARD RAIL. NO ONE WAS INJURED. NO MEDICAL TREATMENT WAS NEEDED AT THE SCENE AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO LOCAL DEALER ROMEO FORD OF KINGSTON (128 NY-28, KINGSTON, NY 12401) WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE BUT COULD NOT DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE HOWEVER THE FAILURE PERSISTED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN MY NEW FORD F-150 KING RANCH ON THE ABOVE DATE TRAVELING ON THE HENRY HUDSON PARKWAY (MANHATTAN) SOUTHBOUND. MY TRUCK WAS STRUCK IN THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR BY AN UNKNOWN VEHICLE AND CAUSED US TO SPIN OUT 2 TIMES AT 60 MPH AND HIT THE CENTER CONCRETE DIVIDER ALMOST DIRECTLY HEAD ON. WE HIT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK.. THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE CANISTERS ON THE SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS OPENED AND THE POWDER WAS ALL OVER BUT THE BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I DON'T THINK THIS WAS NORMAL AND I FEEL IT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT. THERE WAS $31,000 DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE WHICH WASN'T TOTALED. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT THIS AGENCY WILL LOOK INTO FOR ME? RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR*DT*DT

THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT COME WITH A SEAT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT. ALL VEHICLES SHOULD COME WITH SEAT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT, A MANUAL ONE IS FINE. PEOPLE THAT ARE SHORTER ESPECIALLY DRIVING AN F-150 MUST BE ABLE TO SEE SAFELY. WE HAVE MANY EXPENSIVE SAFETY FEATURES COME STANDARD BUT SADLY ARE OMITTING A $10 ADDITION THAT GREATLY IMPROVES DRIVEABILITY.

COMPLAINT IS THAT FORD WILL NOT COMPLETE THE WORK ON THEIR RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE FRONT CAMERA INTERMITTENTLY DOES NOT WORK. ISSUE STARTED APPROXIMATELY 9-10 MONTHS AGO AT WHICH TIME IT OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 20% OF THE TIME. FORD ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE ON 9/23/20 TO ADDRESS THIS AND AFTER 6 MONTHS THEY STILL WILL NOT REPAIR MY TRUCK. THE FRONT CAMERA FAILS TO OPERATE APPROXIMATELY 90% OF THE TIME AT THIS POINT.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT, AND TURNING SLIGHTLY LEFT, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY AND DISPLAYED "AUTO STARTSTOP SHIFT TO P, THEN RESTART ENGINE" ON THE DASH DISPLAY. FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT TRYING TO TURN AND CROSS TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CATASTROPHIC T-BONE COLLISION. THE AUTO START/STOP FUNCTION APPEARS TO BE FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED/RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. FROM RESEARCHING ONLINE FORUMS, THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE WIDESPREAD AND ACROSS MULTIPLE MODEL YEARS.

THERE IS A KNOWN RECALL ON THE BACKUP CAMERA WTIH FORD. BUT MY LOCAL DEALER HAS THE PART ON BACKORDER FOR GOING ON 3 MONTHS NOW. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. HOW CAN A MAJOR COMPANY ISSUE A RECALL AND THEN NOT HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE TO FIX FOR MORE THAN 3 MONTHS?

VEHICLE WAS SLOWING AT AN INTERSECTION WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. LIFTED FOOT OFF AND MOVED TO ACCELERATOR TO TURN RIGHT ONTO THE MAIN ROAD. ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE ON ACCELERATION. DASHBOARD CHIMED AND GAVE THE WARNING "AUTO STARTSTOP SHIFT TO P, THEN RESTART ENGINE." MANAGED TO PULL THE VEHICLE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SHIFTED TO PARK, RESTARTED ENGINE.

UNDERCAB MATTING USED FOR AERO AND PROTECTION OF TRANSMISSION / EXPOSED UNDERWIRING IS EASILY SATURATED BY MOISTURE FROM NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR AND TEAR TO VEHICLE COMPONENTS. THE MATTING ON OUR VEHICLE HAS ALREADY TORN ON ONE SIDE (AT 15K MI), WITH SERVICE SUGGESTING TO "ZIP TIE" THE PARTS BACK TOGETHER OR REMOVE THE PANEL AND EXPOSE THE TRANSMISSION AND WIRING TO ADDITIONAL WEAR AND TEAR. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER SIMILAR F150S WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A LARGE UNDERBODY PANEL AND CAN POSE SIGNIFICANT RISK TO MOTORISTS OR CYCLISTS BEHIND IF IT WERE TO FAIL AND DETACH FROM THE VEHICLE. ATTACHED IMAGE IS OF DRIVERS SIDE LOOKING UP/UNDER TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE.

JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO THE STORE, THEN AROUND TOWN. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN DOWN A SIDE STREET, I PUSHED THE BUTTON FOR THE HEAT, TO TURN IT OFF. I HEARD A WEIRD BUZZING NOISE. MY BREAKS STOPPED WORKING FULLY. NO BREAKS AT ALL. NO POWER BREAK, SINCE IT'S ELECTRICAL OR SOMETHING. NO WAY TO STOP THE TRUCK. WHEN I TRIED TO PUSH THE GAS TO MOVE. THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION AT ALL. WHEN I FINALLY STOPPED. I TRIED TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUES. SWITCHING SEVERAL OPTIONS AND MODES TO TRY TO FIND THE SOLUTION. CALLED A MECHANIC. NO CODES WERE GIVEN ON THE SYSTEM. HAD TO WAIT 2 HOURS FOR A TOW TRUCK. I'M A DISABLED VET, HAD TO WALK BACK TO MY HOUSE TO GRAB MY OTHER CAR, SINCE I DIDN'T KNOW IF THIS TRUCK WAS JUST GOING TO DECIDE TO TAKE OFF WITH ME IN IT. THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS ELECTRICAL AND BUGGY. SURE ENOUGH. BEFORE THE TOW TRUCK GOT THERE, I WAS WITH ANOTHER PERSON WHO HAD A SIMILAR FORD F150. HE WENT THROUGH SOME OPTIONS. WITHOUT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR, THE TRUCK STARTED TO REV UP. WE QUICKLY WENT TO THE ENGINE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. IF THAT TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE ACTIVATED IT WOULD HAVE SMASHED INTO SEVERAL PEOPLE, CARS AND HOUSES. THEN THAT'S WHEN I LOOKED UP THE RECALL FOR THE 2020 F150 AND FOUND ALL THE INFORMATION I WISH I WOULD HAVE SEEN BEFORE THE PURCHASE. 365 MILES ON THE TRUCK. HAD IT LESS THAN 14 HOURS. DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 20 MINS. NOTICED PREMATURE RUST UNDERNEATH, BUT DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH OF IT. A LOT OF PARTS WERE RUSTING AND HAD NO PROTECTION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2020 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE LANE DEPARTURE AND BLIND SPOT DETECTION FAILED TO ALERT THE DRIVER. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FRONT CAMERA SENSORS FAILED TO ALERT THE DRIVER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A WARNING MESSAGE STATING DRIVER ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE, WOULD APPEAR ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HARBIN MOTOR COMPANY, INC. (564 MICAH WAY, SCOTTSBORO, AL 35769) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE WINDSHIELD NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CAMERA SENSOR WAS LOCATED INSIDE THE WINDSHIELD. THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 600. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

FOR THE SECOND TIME TODAY, MY 2020 F150 HAS TURNED ITSELF OFF, WHILE I WAS DRIVING, WITH A MESSAGE TO "SHIFT TO PARK AND RESTART ENGINE". I HAPPENED TO BE PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, SO STOPPING AND DOING SO WAS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP AND DO THIS, BUT IF THIS HAPPENS ON A ROAD, OR WORSE, WHEN ENTERING AN INTERSECTION WHEN CROSSING WITHOUT STOPPING IS NECESSARY, SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED.. I HAVE NOT BOTHERED TO REPORT THIS TO FORD, BECAUSE I AM ACTIVE ON AN F150 FORUM AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE, AND FORD HAS NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT. I NOTICED SEVERAL PEOPLE SAID IT HAPPENED WHEN THE WEATHER WAS CHILLY - ONE PERSON SAID IT WAS 42 DEGREES. IN MY CASE, THE WEATHER TODAY IS 40, AND IT WAS SIMILAR WEATHER LAST TIME IT HAPPENED. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS IS RELATED, BUT IT'S AN INTERESTING COINCIDENCE OTHERWISE. MY CAR WAS MODERATELY WARMED UP, I HAD ONLY DRIVEN ABOUT 8 MILES. PICTURE OF THE DASH FROM TODAY'S INCIDENT ATTACHED. IN BOTH CASES, THE TRUCK WAS OTHERWISE DRIVING FINE, GIVING NO INDICATION OF PROBLEMS, AND ALSO STARTED RIGHT BACK UP AND SHOWED NO OTHER PROBLEM. IT HAS PROBABLY BEEN ABOUT 3 MONTHS SINCE THE FIRST TIME. THE SECOND TIME WAS TODAY - 3.16.2021

FORD TEAM, ON SUNDAY, JANUARY 24TH I HAD A MAJOR SAFETY MALFUNCTION WITH MY 2020 F-150 I BOUGHT THIS PAST SUMMER IN MENOMONIE WI. DESCRIPTION ON THE INCIDENT: I PULLED MY TRUCK OUT OF MY GARAGE TO PULL MY ATV TRAILER OUT. ONCE THE TRAILER WAS PULLED OUT, I STARTED MY TRUCK BACK UP AND PROCEEDED TO PULL IT BACK INTO THE GARAGE. WHILE COASTING IN, I PRESS THE BRAKES TO STOP THE TRUCK AND THE ABS KICKED IN AT THE REAR TIRES KEPT DRIVING MY TRUCK FORWARD. I ENDED UP SLAMMING INTO MY WORK BENCH WHICH IS ATTACHED TO MY BACK WALL. I REMEMBER LOOKING DOWN AT MY PEDAL AND WONDERING WHY THE TRUCK WAS STILL DRIVING FORWARD WHEN THE BRAKES WERE PRESSED. I HAVE PULLED INTO MY GARAGE HUNDREDS OF TIMES AND THIS TIME WAS NO DIFFERENT. I KNOW WHAT THE ABS FEELS LIKE AND THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. THE TRUCK TRIED TO OUT POWER THE ABS AND DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I HIT. I HIT SO HARD THAT THE GARAGE SHOOK AND ITEMS WERE FALLING OFF MY SHELVES. THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE I INCURRED WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS JUST COASTING INTO THE BENCH. TALKING TO A CO-WORKER HE STATED THIS HAD HAPPENED TO HIS DAD IN THE PAST AND SAID THERE MIGHT BE AN ERROR IN THE CODE, SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT STILL BEING IN HIGH IDLE AND THE ABS KICKED IN. IF THIS ERROR CANNOT BE DIAGNOSED I'M NOT SURE I FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK ANYMORE. MAKES ME SICK TO MY STOMACH TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF ONE OF MY KIDS WERE IN FRONT OF ME. PLEASE TROUBLE-SHOOT THIS ISSUE AND FOLLOW UP WITH THE CAUSE AND HOW MUCH DAMAGE AS BEEN DONE. TH

WHILE BACKING UP, THE GREEN YELLOW AND RED LINES ARE GONE ON THE BACK UP CAMERA.SO CANNOT TELL THE DISTANCE BEFORE BACKING INTO SOMETHING AND THE BEEPER NO LONGER IS HEARD WARNING YOU WHEN YOU ARE GETTING CLOSE..

MY -150 LARIAT HAS BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS WITH THE FRONT COLLISION CAMERA AND DETECTS WHEN NO OTHER VEHICLES ARE AROUND. MY COMPUTER FOR SYNC DOES NOT ALWAYS TURN ON AND FREEZES NOT ALLOWING ME TO USE NAVIGATION AND OTHER FEATURES. I ALMOST GOT INTO THREE ACCIDENTS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. IN THE SAME NIGHT WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. AT ONE POINT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS STUCK AT 67MPH YET THE TRUCK ACCELERATED WELL OVER 70MPH. MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK PROPERLY SEVERAL TIMES. I PRESSED THEM AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. I TOOK IT IN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY ESSENTIALLY TOLD ME NO CODES COULD VERIFY THE PROBLEMS. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE AND I AND OTHER DRIVERS WERE PUT IN SEVERE DANGER.

EIGHT DAYS AFTER NEW PURCHASE, WITH 416 MILES ON THE ODOMETER THE ENGINE FAILED FROM A CURRENTLY UNDIAGNOSED DEFECT. LARGE AMOUNTS OF WHITE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST COVERED THE HIGHWAY, POTENTIALLY AFFECTING VISIBILITY OF OTHER DRIVERS. THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER, AFTER PULLING OFF FROM HIGHWAY THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT VERIFIED THE ENGINE LOCKED UP AFTER THE FAILURE.

FORD ELIMINATED THE ENGINE COVER IN 2019 EXPOSING THE ENGINE WIRING TO THE ELEMENTS. SINCE THE WIRING INSULATION IS MADE FROM SOY THIS ALLOW FOR RODENTS TO CLIME UP INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND CHEW AT THE EXPOSED WIRES. THIS CAN DISABLES THE VEHICLE OR SET A VEHICLE ENGINE LIGHTS AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. IN MY CASE THE VEHICLE LOST POWER ON THE FREEWAY AND I HAD SEVERAL LIGHTS COME ON. THE TOP SPEED DROPPED FROM 70MPH TO 23MPH. BRIGHTON FORD DID REPAIR THE VEHICLE AT MY EXPENSE. GOING FORWARD EVEN THOUGH THE REPAIR HAS PUT THE VEHICLE BACK ON THE ROAD, THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM STILL EXIST. FORD CUSTOMER CARE SAID THERE IS NO SOLUTION AVAILABLE TO THIS PROBLEM I HAVE OPENED A CASE BUT I DON'T BELIEVE ANYONE IS LOOKING AT IT. I ALSO CHECK 2021 VEHICLES AND IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE.

VEHICLE IN MOTION PULLED UP TO A STOP LIGHT (WITH START/STOP DISABLED VIA THE BUTTON) THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP BUT THE TRUCK SHUT OFF. THEN I WAS GREETED WITH A WINDOW THAT DISPLAYED "AUTO START UNAVAILABLE SHIFT TO P TO RESTART". I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK, RESTARTED IT, AND IT DROVE FINE AFTER THAT.

MY TRUCK HAS 4 BACKUP COLLISION WARNING SENSORS ON THE REAR BUMPER. AFTER SOME HEAVY RAIN, I HAVE HAD 1 SENSOR START TO INDICATE A CLOSE OBJECT AS I START TO BACK UP MY VEHICLE. THERE IS NO OBJECT BACK THERE. THIS INITIALLY OCCURRED IN A PARKING LOT, BUT THE PROBLEM NOW PERSISTS AND THE AUDIBLE WARNING WITH A DASH CAMERA INDICATOR LIGHT GOES OFF WHENEVER I BACK UP THE TRUCK.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 65MPH I HEARD AN EXPLOSION. AFTER PULLING OVER I DISCOVERED THAT THE BACK GLASS HAD SHATTERED. I WAS NOT PASSING A VEHICLE AND NOTHING ELSE WAS AROUND TO CAUSE IT. CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED AND THEY WILL NOT REPLACE BECAUSE "BLOWN OUT" GLASS IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THIS TRUCK HAS 3,700 MILES ON IT. MY INSURANCE WILL COVER THE COST BUT THAT ISN'T THE POINT. THIS IS DANGEROUS! THE INSIDE PRESSURE SHATTERED THE WHOLE GLASS AND ACTUALLY BLEW A HOLE THROUGH ON ONE SIDE. THE GLASS WAS FALLING OUT ON THE BED OF THE TRUCK. I HAVE NOTICED SINCE PURCHASING THE TRUCK THAT THE DOORS ARE HARD TO CLOSE (YOU HAVE TO ALMOST SLAM THEM) UNLESS YOU LEAVE A WINDOW DOWN A LITTLE.

MY NEW 2020 F150 WITH 5.0 V8 TRUCK OVER CONSUMES OIL, ADDING A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. BROUGHT TO DEALER EVERY WEEK AFTER ABOUT 500 MILES AND THEY ADD AT LEAST A HALF QUERY OR MORE EVERY TIME. I BOUGHT IN OCTOBER 2020 AND IN THE FIRST MONTH I WENT THROUGH 4 QTS OF OIL.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON FRIDAY, MY 2020 F-150 STALLED. AN ERROR MESSAGE POPPED UP ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SAYING "AUTO STARTSTOP SHIFT TO P THEN RESTART". I RESTARTED AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I THEN WAITED 10 MINUTES AND RESTARTED AND IT HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE. I TOOK IT TO BOB THOMAS SERVICE IN HAMDEN, CT TODAY AND THEY ARE SAYING THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY OR TURNING ACROSS TRAFFIC, STALLING AT THAT TIME COULD BE DISASTROUS OR EVEN FATAL.

LATE MODEL FORD TRUCKS REPRESENT A ROAD HAZARD TO ALL OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. THEY CONTINUOUSLY RUN 4 HEADLIGHTS WHICH BLIND ON COMING VEHICLES.
