At interstate speeds, when the truck hits a bump or an expansion joint going onto or off a bridge, the steering wheel jerks hard and pulls the truck into the next lane. I've been reporting this front-end problem to Ford dealers for almost two years. About eight months ago, on XXX near [XXX], it nearly made me hit the car in the lane beside me. It happened again this past weekend (XXX) on XXX in [XXX], coming back from [XXX] with my daughter in the truck: coming off a bridge, it jerked me toward the guardrail. [XXX] Ford, [XXX] Ford, and Johnson City Ford have each inspected the truck multiple…
The second power door lock actuator has failed on this vehicle at only 24,500 miles. This time the RF door did not lock or unlock electronically. I replaced the failed actuator myself. The inside of the actuator had water in it that looks like it caused the small electric motor to fail. This was the same cause of failure last year when the LF door started not working in cold weather and later failed completely. I believe this is a safety concern as the doors no longer lock or unlock as expected. This opens the door to intruders getting in the vehicle and defeats the protection of an…

Backup camera goes blurry and very distorted
Car was parked in the driveway, it had not been driven for over two days and it caught on fire just sitting. It looks as if it is a electrical fire
10 day roundtrip from [XXX] to [XXX]. 5 incidents of catastrophic engine failure on interstates. Truck started to jerk, sputter, lost power at an alarming rate. No engine light until failure ocurred. Very dangerous with heavy holiday traffic. Lives were in danger, us and other vehicles around us. No one expects travel to go from 70 mph,to 50, 30, 15 in such a short period of time. Pulled over to "investigate" code failures we deemed as o2 sensors. Afterwards the truck started back up, no engine lights and drove as normal. Started using premium gasoline, hoping it would help. Started driving in…

Lifter failure causes cylinder to misfire resulting in loss of power while towing. Defect causes catastrophic failure to the engine.
I was driving from [XXX] back to [XXX] on I-5. I was at 70mph when a slower vehicle merged into my lane and I got on the gas to pass them. The transmission locked into 10th gear and never downshifted, the engine revved, and then I lost complete power of the transmission for several seconds. I went from 70 to 55 and then it jerked back into gear. I had my 2 small kids in the back seat and wife in the truck. This happened to me with my 2020 F-150 when my wife was pregnant and then eventually got worse and worse. My transmission shifts hard when put in gear and most times will lurch forward. It…
