Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Unattended tailgate. Tail gate opens on its own after safety recall was preformed. Dealer can't reproduce issue. Tail gate opens randomly. My tail gate is damaged. Ford refusing to solve issue. I read an article about your agency having same complaints after recall was performed. It seems to happen right when I start the truck and put into drive or reverse.”
NHTSA complaint #11405028, filed 2021-03, 15,500 miles“Tailgate latch gets stuck and also drops while driving and turning. The tailgate dropped involuntarily when I was hauling my horse trailer and damaged both my truck tailgate and my trailer jack. I had to close the tailgate again to get my horses off the road and now the tailgate is stuck and I cannot unhitch my trailer.”
NHTSA complaint #11180864, filed 2019-02, 10,000 miles“While driving at 70mph on I-565 in huntsville, al, the vehicle suddenly began to shake violently after driving over a rough spot in the highway. Steering wheel was shaking and vehicle was shaking. I was able to stop the vehicle, and the shaking stopped and did not reoccur.”
NHTSA complaint #11406289, filed 2021-04, 19,050 miles“While driving through the rocky mountains on I-70 at 60 MPH, a 1000 pound boulder fell off the mountain and hit my truck at high speed on the driver's front wheel. The air bags did not deploy.”
NHTSA complaint #11196778, filed 2019-04, 4,000 miles“I am on my second hood. The factory hood started failing at the latch. The hood begins to crack out around the loop that locks into the latch. It came apart structure wise and I had it replaced. No recalls were found in any system. This isn't the only truck in our fleet that has done this. We've had two others. Now, after a recent replacement, here I am again with the same problem. Hood is cracking out again, around the hoop and it flies up and 'dances' in the wind and especially passing semi trucks. This has to be a recall and I cannot be the only one with this trouble. …”
