“I purchased this truck on 09/23/20. At delivery the steering wheel was not aligned correctly and had to be adjusted. Truck has had a constant vibration that is felt thru the steering and body. The vibration increases with speed. At 1031 miles a repair attempt was made that was unsuccessful, at 3225 miles again a failed attempt was made at correcting, at 3735 another filed attempt. At 8156 another failed attempt. And again at 8934 another more extensive repair attempt was made with no positive results. I will upload all repair work orders. …”

“Vehicle RPM will not drop when taking foot off the gas and in gear. Rpm stays at 1100 and vehicle speeds up on its own. No difference with engine brake on or off. Seems to happen in parking lots or at stop lights when moving at slow speeds 5 to 10 miles per hour. Vehicle will accelerate unless brakes are applied. Brakes have to be applied sometimes very hard to get vehicle to stop and engine RPM to drop. Documented by the dealer with no fix. Ford motor company contacted with no fix. This has occurred multiple times.”

“Door locks. The electric door locks have stopped working on both front doors. I had the drivers repaired under warranty, and now the passenger door I paid for - about $300. This is a major safety concern especially for a 2020 that cost over $80k. If I forget to manually lock the door, someone can could get in my car without me knowing. I also can't lock the door in the event someone is approaching me. I know prior years were recalled, please add MY2020.”

“Twice today I had the truck explode into a death wobble, the first one was so severe on highway 255 outside St Louis that I had to do an emergency stop pulling of to the side of the road, the death wobble would not stop till I came to a complete stop. It was so volatile I thought I lost a tire and rim completely off the vehicle. The second was as near violent and didn't cease till I was down to 15 miles per hour. I will be contacting a Ford dealership tomorrow as today is a Sunday.”

NHTSA complaint #11468908, filed 2022-06

“My tailgate has opened on its own three times or more since purchasing the truck new in June 2021. Few times while parked and locked in my drive way. Once while I was driving causing me to have to pull over on a busy highway to re-latch the tailgate to not lose my cargo in the bed which then could have came flying out and hit other motorists and/or caused an accident in which I would have been liable. I was not included in the recall 19V-864; and therefore my vehicle has not been serviced for this issue.”
