Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I received a letter many months ago from Ford stating that recall 23S65 would be remedied during the first quarter of 2025. Ford is now late in addressing this recall, and should face scrutiny, fines, or some other form of punishment. I continue to wait for information from Ford and for the fix itself. Meanwhile my truck is at risk every time I drive it.”
NHTSA complaint #11651994, filed 2025-04“My transmission hard shifts and stalls out. It was also low on fluid in January 2026, but it was not leaking. When pulling out from intersections with oncoming cars the transmission stalled. It has also stalled on the freeway. Yes, a ford dealership confirmed it. No warning lamps. I was told ford probably won’t cover the whole cost of this repair even though it’s a known issue”
NHTSA complaint #11774285, filed 2026-10“The recall is 10 months old and no remedy offered. Every time I get behind tge wheel I'm risking an injury or death of myself or someone else. I can't sell my vehicle because it would put the next owner at risk. Do I have to wait until there's an injury or death to have something done about this?”
NHTSA complaint #11738123, filed 2026-05“There are times that my 2022 Ford F150 Powerboost will not accelerate. Mostly if I roll in a turn and press on the gas pedal. I don't hear anything, like it's a auto/stop issue. I'll have to come to a complete stop, or I'll have to leave my foot on the pedal, then it's like it kicks on with high RPM. There's no warning lights or messages. This time while I was on the highway during stop and go traffic.”
NHTSA complaint #11720911, filed 2026-02“9/17 driving home. Light rain. Put the truck in slippery mode prior to starting my drive. Truck was actually slipping and seemed to be shutting off and on. Prior to me being able to pull off to the side of the road, the truck stalled and spinned out across five lanes slamming into the barrier.”
