“I was driving at 60-70 MPH on the highway and lost gas power. The electrical power in the hybrid motor continued working, but I was unable to accelerate or maintain full speed. IMPORTANT: I had this very thing repaired in accordance with a previous recall and an identical issue in January, approximately five months ago. I am reporting in case an additional recall and new software patch is needed.”

“Truck died in the middle of a busy road. I was able to pull over and let it sit. Started it up, got another couple miles down the road, and it died again. Full plethora of warning messages. Let it sit some more - it started and I was able to drive it home. Pulled the codes: U1011 and U1028.”

“I’ve been noticing that when I am on the freeway and I am increasing my speed to highway speed and between 55 mph to 65 mph the vehicle vibrates like possible suspension issue. This morning at about 2:13 AM when I had just got to a stop sign and my foot was physically on the break. I noticed that the engine revved up so because I was concerned I made sure I stayed where I was with my foot on the break until the engine came back down to the proper idle.”

NHTSA complaint #11771028, filed 2026-10

“I was driving on a freeway and my vehicle went into Powertrain malfunction/Reduced power mode and slowed me down from 65 -70 miles an hours to under 20 miles an hour. This almost cause a semi to slam into the back of my vehicle missing me by inches. The dealership is unable to recreate this issue but confirmed it did happen. Ford and the dealership have been giving me a run around with this since they can't diagnose the issue.”
