2019 Ford F-150 Other or unknown Problems

“I just bought my truck and have honked my horn two times. Both times the perforated seal for the airbag has split open. I got it repaired the first time and now I have an appointment to get it repaired a second time. This is a defect, you should be able to apply pressure to honk a horn. Especially if someone pulls out in front of you and you have to abruptly apply the brakes at the same time as honking. This creates a forward force that makes you press harder as well. …”

“In repeated collision tests the pre-collision assist system (standard equipment version) invariably failed. Ford has been completely unhelpful in resolving the issue and has implied I shouldn't expect it to work! Several other f-150s have been tested locally and also failed collision tests . I strongly suspect the standard equipment version of pre-collision assist system is faulty in many 2019 Ford pickups. I have videos of my tests but see no way to get them to you.”

“I was driving my truck on the interstate with adaptive cruise control turned on. The truck began to automatically slow as I approached a vehicle ahead of me. As I changed lanes to pass, the system saw there was nothing ahead of me, then downshifted from 10th gear to 5th gear with a very loud klunk . Since I had the accelerator depressed to override the adaptive cruise as I changed lanes, the truck immediately and abruptly accelerated. I was thrown back in my seat and momentarily lost full control of the steering wheel. …”

“While driving, the engine light turned on. When I approached a stoplight, the engine began to shudder and stall. As soon as I placed the engine in park, the rpms increased and the engine felt like it was not going to stall. It still had some shaking going on. At the next traffic light, I stayed in drive and the engine died. I was able to restart the car and get home. During this time I was using no other features in the truck. Nothing was charging, the air conditioning was off, the lights were off, and the radio was off. …”

“There is a cover made of plastic under the transmission that is held on by 4 small bolts with big washers. Driving in strong winds at highway speeds the back 2 plastic holders broke. This approximate 34 inches across plastic is hanging down. Seems to me it is guarding some vital parts under there. Sure warranty will replace it with another piece of plastic which will surely fail in time. Then it will be my expense. When I called the service department he knew right away what I was talking about, and had them on hand. Should be made out of a thicker metal, even aluminum.”
