I was driving down the highway and suddenly the loudest ear piercing noice of static came bursting through my speakers, to where I had to immediately pull over. I tried to shut the truck off immediately and it wouldn't turn off. When they truck finally turned off the static was still piercing through the speaker system. My dog was in the back seat and freaking out. I have never experienced something so insane like this. It shut off finally after about 1 minute and I had it towed directly to the Ford Dealer. I still have ringing in my ears 2 hours later. This is an absolutely terrifying issue…

Power TrainNHTSA complaint 11775543 Ā· Nov 4, 2026
The factory daytime running light (DRL) LED signature strip on the front headlight assembly failed prematurely and went completely dark. Because the DRL is integrated into a sealed headlight unit, the individual lighting component cannot be repaired or serviced. Replacing the single failed DRL requires discarding and replacing the entire headlight assembly at an out-of-pocket cost exceeding $1,000 to $1,500.

My transmission hard shifts and stalls out. It was also low on fluid in January 2026, but it was not leaking. When pulling out from intersections with oncoming cars the transmission stalled. It has also stalled on the freeway. Yes, a ford dealership confirmed it. No warning lamps. I was told ford probably won’t cover the whole cost of this repair even though it’s a known issue
