For years FORD vehicles, especially pickup trucks, have blinded drivers with their improperly adjusted headlights; because FORD gives incorrect instructions to adjust them. I refer to page 474 of the 2025 Superduty owners manual as evidence. The instructions FORD gives are to set the low-beam LEVEL, shinning the beam onto a vertical surface 25 feet from the vehicle with the beam at the same height as the headlight on the truck. This is incorrect. There should be at least a 3 inch drop of the low-beam at 25 feet. If there is no drop of the tall truck's headlight (the F-250 stock ride height of…
The contact owns a 2025 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel inadvertently turned to the right, then pulled to the opposite direction. The contact stated the steering wheel was cocked to the left or right even though the vehicle was driving straight down the road. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated the failure was due to the steering angle sensor. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that an alignment was needed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was…
The contact was an insurance company that called on behalf of the previous owner. The contact's Insurance Company took possession of a 2025 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, a loud popping noise was heard coming from the vehicle with no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that following the failure, the driver lost control of the vehicle, which resulted in a collision with another vehicle. The contact also stated that a tire unexpectedly detached from the vehicle during the incident. The vehicle then veered off the roadway and collided with a…
I have about 6,000 miles on the vehicle which was purchased new. There were 2 incidents prior to 2/15/26 (the 3rd incident), but it was only this 3rd incident whereby I could identify the problem. The 2 early incidents I only experienced the smell of burning rubber when driving and exiting the vehicle. Which, i couldn't fathom where it was coming from. And, there was probably a month between incidents. This latest 2/15/26 incident, I was driving and started smelling rubber again, but now I happened to have my fuel mileage indicator on and saw my fuel indicator drop from it's normal average of…
The info system (Bluetooth) is not working and makes a high piercing noise. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The safety of others is at risk due to the fact that you can only use your phone in your hand in this vehicle. The state of South Carolina where this vehicle was purchased and used passed a law on September 1, 2025 (Hands-Free and Distracted Driving Act) banning handheld cell phone use. The vehicle has been to two different Ford dealerships and has been at the most recent since December 3, 20025 until present. The vehicle has been inspected with several attempts to…
The pre collision system on this truck is not working, dealer tried twice to fix it and says it is working, but they can’t test it and make it work in real word conditions.
When I was pulling out of the gas station parking lot on Dec 15th, 2025, I pressed the gas and heard a noise that sounded like high RPMs. I then approached the intersection and attempted to press the brake and the brake would not press in, it was hard. My truck then continued to move forward. I attempted to turn the steering wheel as a truck was coming at me. The steering wheel would not turn or move at all. I was stuck in the middle of an intersection after it rolled to a stop. I turned on my flashers and looked at the dashboard to make sure my truck was in drive, which it was. A message was…
The rearview camera intermittently blacks out when shifting into reverse and sometimes while driving forward. This occurs randomly and creates a serious safety hazard when backing up a large vehicle, as visibility is compromised. I have also experienced repeated warning messages stating, “Parking brake not fully functioning” and “Hill Start Assist not available, see dealer” These warnings appear in a barrage without cause and then disappear once vehicle is restarted, suggesting an electrical or software fault. I have multiple videos and pictures dated and timed as proof. I have taken the truck…
The contact owns a 2025 Ford F-250 SD. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70-75 MPH, there was an abnormal sound coming from the sunroof, and the contact discovered that the sunroof glass had shattered. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the contact was informed that the vehicle could be repaired; however, the vehicle had to be left with the dealer for seven to ten days. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 6,200.
I purchased a brand-new 2025 Ford F-250 Super Duty on April 1, 2025. The truck has an intermittent and ongoing issue where the dashboard displays “Park Brake Limited Function” or “Park Brake Service Required.” I took the vehicle to the authorized Ford dealer, but they told me the problem cannot be repaired. However, when I contacted Ford corporate customer service, they claimed the issue is known and can be repaired, and referred me to safety department complain This contradiction between Ford and the dealer is unacceptable. The issue affects the functionality and safety of the vehicle, and it…
When driven the vehicle approximately 60 miles I had to fight to keep it on the road. Hoffman found suspension was out, the vehicle is chasing the road when driving highway speeds (I upload the findings). This started from the time I purchased the vehicle until now. I purchased the truck from Mark Ficken Ford Lincoln, 7601 South Blvd., Charlotte, NC on [XXX], and left for Middletown, CT the day after. I had to drive at a low speed to keep the Truck on the road. I didn't test drive it because it was new. It is still in the shop for the 3rd time for the same problem. It is not safe to drive. It…

To see whether a recall is still open on your car, enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls (U.S.) or your registration at check-vehicle-recalls.service.gov.uk (UK). Had a safety problem? Report it to NHTSA; complaints are what trigger investigations and recalls.
