Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“One morning while getting into our vehicle (2019 f350) after is had been parked for two days I noticed the rear window was bulging outward and shattered. There is no evidence the window was damaged from the outside, and the window is bulging outward. It appears, the pressurizing of the vehicle cabin by shutting the door could cause enough pressure to blow out a window. The vehicle was parked on a friday at 1400, it remained parked then on sunday we noticed the broken window. …”

“Our automatic tailgate on our 2019 Ford f350 truck opens and comes down randomly. It has happened 6 times in the first 3 weeks of ownership. This has happened while parked and while driving, the last time the key fob was in the cup holder when we were filling the truck at the gas station. With our 5th wheel trailer attached, the tailgate came down as we pulled away. Not knowing it came down, we made a turn pulling out of the gas station which caused over a $1,000 in damage to our trailer. …”

“Truck door locks to not operate in cold weather. Additionally door will not latch shut. Found this out when driving around a bend in the road and my rear passenger side door flew open. Thankfully there was no passenger as they could have been flown out of the truck. This is known problem with these Ford trucks. Refer to fsa 18n03 which is a field service action bulletin. Why they are not recalling these vehicles is a mystery to me. This is a huge safety issue. I have made an appointment with the dealer that I bought the vehicle from. …”

“While towing our fifth wheel camper on two separate occasions, the tailgate of our 2019 Ford f-350 dually opened randomly while in transit. Without knowing the tailgate was down, it caused damage to the front of our fifth wheel when making turns. This occurred on two different highways but since we don't know when it lowered, we don't know the exact highway conditions at the time. Rain was not a factor. So far, it has only opened when the truck was connected to our fifth wheel. According to the Ford dealer, the tailgate recall repair have already been completed on this vehicle. …”

“Less than 500 miles on a f350 superduty with an 8' bed. Driving with a small boat in the back propped up on the back of the tailgate. Taking a left on a green light in the city going ~15mph the tailgate opened on its own and the boat almost slid out of the truck. Did not press the fob as it was in the cupholder -- did not press the button inside above the parking brake because I had both hands on the steering wheel to make the turn. Almost lost the boat as I had it tied while propped on tailgate, the straps came loose since the boat fell 2 feed. …”
