NHTSA complaint #11550430, filed 2023-10, 2,000 miles“My truck jumps/lurches forward after coming to a complete stop, despite the brake pedal being applied. It almost feels like I’m being rear ended.

NHTSA complaint #11678004, filed 2025-08“On 7/18/25 I picked up F-150 from being repaired (failed Belt Drive Generator/Starter Tensioner). About 3 hours later I was driving up a long grade at about 5,000 feet when I stopped to check on my cargo (a bicycle). At this point I noticed the cooling fans were running increasingly fast, much faster then they had ever run before. I checked the digital temperature gauge and it showed a normal temperature. I opened the hood and saw there was no coolant in the overflow bottle. …”
