URGENT SAFETY COMPLAINT – 2024 FORD F-150 TREMOR Since May 2026, my 2024 Ford F-150 Tremor has repeatedly experienced a dangerous transmission gear-shifting malfunction. Without warning, the gear selector locks, preventing the vehicle from engaging Drive, Reverse, or Park, leaving it immobilized. This has occurred in parking garages, blocking entrances and exits, and on interstate highways after stopping in traffic. The vehicle can become stranded in active traffic with no reliable way to move it to safety. This creates an extreme collision risk, potentially resulting in serious injuries or…
Ever since the last OTA software update to SYNC 26.2.8.3 on 9/11/2026 my auto high beam functionality has started working erratically. It seems to be much worse below 50 MPH. The high beams will not shut off for approaching cars or it they might start flashing on and off. I have had multiple cars flash their high beams back at me. They will also not shut off consistently while following vehicles. Blinding oncoming traffic certainly has to be considered a safety risk.
I am reporting a catastrophic component failure on my 2024 Ford F-150 equipped with the 9.75-inch heavy-duty 3/4 float rear axle design. Both the driver-side and passenger-side rear axle hub bolts have completely sheared off due to metal fatigue. The bolt heads are missing entirely, and the threaded studs remain snapped off flush inside the wheel hub assemblies
