“My truck doesn't want to steer right. It's very hard to steer and sometimes the steering wheel sticks. Heard they are having issues with the electronic steering in these trucks. The vehicle is in motion when this is happening and it's when you are going around a bend. I should not have to pay to get this fixed. This is a major safety issue. It happens everytime I drive.”
NHTSA complaint #11254535, filed 2019-09, 37,000 miles“Truck down shifts while driving. My pregnant wife and I were driving 70 MPH on highway, when truck down shifted to 1st gear and nearly caused us to slide off road in the rain. Ford just recalled 2011-2013 for same problem! They need to recall 2014 as well! My truck was fixed at Ford dealership.”
NHTSA complaint #11181031, filed 2019-02, 65,000 miles“Service advance track, ABS, break lights all on. Break pedal fades to floor when held Ford dealer said module failure. This same truck had recall for hydraulic failure was serviced in 2016 now they want $1600 for a new module then the service manager said pedal was not spongey. Like I said standing still in any gear including park press the break and hold it it fades to the floor reel safe I'm sure. Abs and break light only go on when you move truck.service advance track on when engine started.”

Check engine popped on we managed to move to the side . It started up after two attempts then check engine light came on . It drove to nearest shop to have code checked they said oh its the etb.. That's recalled. So we explored and researching why it's not on recall. We were about a moment away from being slammed into the concrete medium from behind.”
NHTSA complaint #11123588, filed 2018-08, 48,000 miles“While I am driving with my pregnant wife in the vehicle the airbag light will illuminate saying that the airbag is off, I have to pull over while driving to have her get out of the vehicle and get back in for the light to turn off. It's a normal street in a development or on the road driving. Different speeds with flat roads, some have bumps others are recently paved asphalt. Happens intermittently, over a dozen times at different speeds. My vehicles VIN doesn't fit the recall for the airbag issue that is already aware by Ford. …”
