“Truck wouldn’t start (2000 miles). Dashboard had a “stop safety now” warning light as well as the check engine and battery lights on. All other electronics seemed to be working normally. After sitting all night, truck started normally and drove normally.”

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. Very scary at first. It happens a few seconds after I come to a complete stop, and every time I stop. Doesn’t happen if I don’t come to a full stop.”

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. …”
