Example complaints

Engine: “While driving down the road a passerby got our drivers attention to tell them the truck was on fire. When he pulled over and got out the truck went up in flames fast from under the hood. Due to the heavy damage we are unsure where the fire started. It has not been inspected by anyone yet. It was towed to our shop. The driver reported there was an odd smell but that was it.”

NHTSA complaint #11672519, filed 2025-07

Body and structure: “Purchased truck used and discovered frame was cracked shortly after I had taken it in to Ford several times because alignment wouldn’t keep vehicle from feeling bouncy (hopping) going down the road. At no point did anyone tell me of a customer satisfaction program that was in place for my vehicle for a frame repair/replacement. Instead they strung me along telling me to take it to a frame shop. 2 days after the program expired I was told that there was a program for the issues which I no longer qualified for. Then they told me to reach out to corporate who said there was nothing they could do.”

NHTSA complaint #11620282, filed 2024-10

Electrical system: “Trailer connection wiring fault causes dash board to flash multiple times indicating trailer disconnected or trailer light bulbs are not working and will repeatedly flash on dash making dinging sounds. This is happening without a trailer connected as well. (take not previous years of Ford vehicles have had the same issue)”

NHTSA complaint #11175026, filed 2019-02, 1,200 miles

Fuel system: “A clogged fuel filter caused an engine fire. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the failure. The fuel filter has been known to be problematic for these trucks, in yet there has been no recall. A simple google search shows these fires are common. The vehicle has been in for service at the dealership many times but no one checked on the faulty fuel filter positioned above the hot engine components.”
