“issues with my 2025 f150 tremor when I applied my brakes firmly, really not that hard ( not hard enough to skid) my truck locked into park and I wasn’t even able to put it back into a gear with a flashing message! Couldn’t get it back into gear for about 30 sec to 60 sec until a message stopped flashing. Had this happened in traffic or on a freeway this could have been really bad especially in traffic. Very dangerous!”
NHTSA complaint #11747019, filed 2026-06“I am submitting a formal complaint regarding a safety-related issue with my 2025 Ford F-150, 5.0, that began immediately following recent recall service on the brake booster system. Since the recall work was completed, the ABS system has been producing a loud electrical rattling or grinding noise during vehicle takeoff. This noise is consistent and occurs at low speeds when accelerating from a stop. Prior to the recall service, this issue was not present. …”
NHTSA complaint #11735083, filed 2026-05“I own a 2025 Ford F-150 Lariat equipped with the factory Tow Package. The truck was sold to me and later serviced under the representation that the trailer brake controller was functional. Duvall Ford in Clayton, GA installed and programmed only a brake controller switch and assured me the trailer brakes were working, without performing a functional brake output test. The truck was later found to be missing the required Trailer Brake Control Module (TBCM), meaning no trailer brakes could ever function. …”
NHTSA complaint #11701057, filed 2025-11“I have repeatedly received an error on my vehicle dashboard stating 1 pedal drive fault: Press break pedal to reduce speed . I have taken my vehicle to the dealer twice for this and was told both times that it was not reproducible and therefore nothing that could be fixed. I was told there was an active recall and that it has been repaired. Today after coming to a complete stop I let go of the break and the vehicle suddenly forcefully lurched forward without me stepping on the accelerator almost resulting in an accident. …”
NHTSA complaint #11729193, filed 2026-04“When you’re stopped and have the Auto Hold feature on, and open your door, the gear selector will automatically shift to park and engage the e-brake. Off and on, this will cause the brake system to fault and will tell you to service immediately. A couple other times it triggered randomly with just having the Auto Hold feature activated. it’s happened on and off since i got the truck new. i have a video of me trying to engage and disengage the parking brake and nothing happens. i have to start and restart the truck multiple times to fix it”
