“I took my 2016 Ford F-150 Lariat in for repairs. I was getting a dash light on Blind Spot Warning and Cross Traffic Warning. My service advisor called and told me I needed a battery junction box but that part was no longer available and that my truck will begin to break down. It only has 46,611 miles and otherwise in excellent condition. I can't believe Ford does not have access the this part to fix my truck. Any suggestions?”

NHTSA complaint #11671778, filed 2025-07

“Vehicle randomly shifts into 1st or 2nd gear while driving at highway speeds. the wheels lock up and skid, then enters into limp mode. After the incident, the vehicle displays a check manual, Blind Spot Detection, and Cross-Traffic Sensor light display. After a few minutes in limp mode, the vehicle will correct itself and begin driving normally. This happens 70% of the times i drive the vehicle. I have taken it to the ford dealer 3 separate times. …”

“Power train failed and truck began to jerk and I lost control of the throttle. I had to throw myself (the truck) on the shoulder to avoid danger. Blinking lights on the dash board occurred. San Leandro Ford diagnosed issue as bad transmission and replaced it in November 2024. Inspected on site by authorized dealer. Told me customer problem must pay to have it replaced!! When I tried contacting national Ford representative and Bill Brandt dealership in Brentwood where purchased in Oct. 2016, no one wanted to take responsibility.”

NHTSA complaint #11650367, filed 2025-03

“Uncommand downshift of the transmission at 50MPH causing the rear wheels to skid. This was accompanied by “Blind Spot System Fault”, “Cross Traffic System Fault”, “See Manual” warnings and a loss of transmission position indications (ie.. P-R-N-D-M-2-1). This appears to be similar to NHTSA Recal # 24S37 for 2014 F-150’s”

NHTSA complaint #11687717, filed 2025-09

“UNKNOWN Called a Ford dealership and they stated 2 other vehicles of the same year/make/model had similar issues. They couldn't find the issue. The touch screen radio got super hot to the point of not being able to touch it. Can't control the radio or climate from main panel. Can't lock or unlock truck manually or with key. Can't roll down windows from drivers side or adjust mirrors. Blind spot warning came on and at the same time all the tire pressure sensors lit up on the dash as well as the parking aid warning and airbag light. …”
