| Nov 2019 | POWER TRAIN,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC),ENGINE | ON TUESDAY 11/5/19, WE WERE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT AROUND 45 MPH WHEN I DECELERATED TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO A CITY STREET. I HAD ACCELERATED BACK UP TO AROUND 30 MPH WHEN I CROSS OVER A RELATIVELY SMOOTH RAILROAD CROSSING AT A SLIGHT LEFT HAND TURN. IMMEDIATELY THE INFORMATION CENTER ON THE CONSOLE START DISPLAYING MULTIPLE ALERTS AND THE VEHICLE STARTED DECELERATING. WHILE THE ENGINE DID NOT CUT OFF, THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE POWERTRAIN AND EVENTUALLY WE ROLLED TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO FIRE ALERTS. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THEM WAS TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THE MESSAGES STILL FIRED SO I OPENED AND CLOSED THE DOOR. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE WITH NO PROBLEM AND THE ALERT MESSAGES HAD CEASED. I DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE HOUSE (APPROXIMATELY 4 MILES) AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH NO ISSUE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THEN NEXT DAY (26 MILES) WITH NO ISSUE. FORTUNATELY, OUR FORD PASS APP HAD CAPTURED ALL THE ALERTS AND, AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A GAS PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. WE PICKED THE TRUCK UP ON FRIDAY AND IT WORKED FINE UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. WE WERE DECELERATING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY TO TURN LEFT ONTO A SIDE ROAD. WE HIT A SMALL HUMP WHERE THE SIDE ROAD MEETS THE HIGHWAY AND AGAIN THE ALERTS STARTING FIRING AND THE TRUCK LOST PROPULSION. AGAIN, THE ENGINE DID NOT TURN OFF AND THE ONLY REMEDY WAS TO TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON. WE PLAN ON TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT WOULD LIKE FOR FORD TO ASSESS THIS PROBLEM AS IT SEEMS TO BE BEYOND THE DEALERSHIP'S CAPABILITIES TO FIX THE ISSUE. SINCE SEVERAL OF THE ALERTS REPRESENTED LOSS OF SAFETY FUNCTIONS INCLUDING BRAKES, TRACTION CONTROL, POWERTRAIN FAILURE, AND OTHERS WE FEEL THIS ISSUE REPRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD NEEDS TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX. SEVERAL OF THE F150 FORUMS HAVE SHOWN OTHER USERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 11,500 |
| Oct 2019 | POWER TRAIN | ROUGH SHIFTING & CLUNK NOISE NOT ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN ENGINE STARTS MAKES A CLUNK NOISE. DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. ALSO ERRATIC SHIFTING AND CLUNKING IN DRIVER TRAIN AGAIN NOT ALWAYS. | Crash: No Fire: No | 5,000 |
| Oct 2019 | POWER TRAIN | EXPERIENCING ROUGH/JERKY SHIFTS FROM TRANSMISSION. PART OF THE JERKY SHIFT IS A DELAY IN DOWNSHIFT OR UP-SHIFT FOLLOWED BY IT CLUNKING/SLAMMING INTO GEAR. JERKY DOWNSHIFTS IN LOWER GEARS THRUST VEHICLE FORWARD. THIS IS EXPERIENCED DURING EVERYDAY DRIVING CONDITIONS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING IN BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY CONDITIONS. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR MONTHS. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED BUT WILL NOT PROVIDE A FIX. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2019 | STRUCTURE | I'M FINDING THAT IN VERY COLD WEATHER, THE DOORS AND SOMETIMES THE TAILGATE WILL FREEZE SHUT. IN THIS CASE, BOTH TIMES THE TRUCK WAS SITTING OUTSIDE AND THE TEMPERATURE OVER NIGHT WAS IN THE LOW TEENS. | Crash: No Fire: No | 8,000 |
| Oct 2019 | POWER TRAIN | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED FROM DRIVE INTO NEUTRAL GEARS, CAUSING THE WHEELS TO SEIZE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAVIDSON FORD OF CLAY (LOCATED AT 3690 NY-31, LIVERPOOL, NY 13090, (315) 860-0096), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,725. | Crash: No Fire: No | 1,725 |
| Oct 2019 | VISIBILITY | THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IN MY VEHICLE DIRECTLY OBSTRUCTS THE LANES OF RIGHT HAND TRAFFIC WHEN AT A STOP. THIS IS PARTICULARLY AT AN INTERSECTION WHERE 4 LANES ARE USED EACH DIRECTION. I ALMOST HIT A CAR THIS MORNING AT A 4 WAY IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR MY WIFE NEXT TO ME. I REALIZED THAT FORD HAS MOVED THE REAR VIEW MIRROR TO ALMOST CENTER WINDSHIELD TO ACCOMMODATE SENSORS LOCATED IN THE UPPER WINDSHIELD AREA. I AM WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED AVERAGE HEIGHT (6 FEET). EVEN AFTER ADJUSTING THE MIRROR AS HIGH AS POSSIBLE, VISION IS OBSTRUCTED. I RECENTLY HAD A LEFT HAND CRASH IN MY 2016 F-150 WHERE CROSSING TRAFFIC WAS AT AN ANGLE AND NEVER SAW THE ONCOMING CAR. I BELIEVE NOW THIS SITUATION IS NO COINCIDENCE AS I ENCOUNTERED THE ISSUE WITH MY 2019 REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. I AM AN ENGINEER AND DEAL WITH ISSUES OF ERGONOMICS AND VISON IN MY INDUSTRY AND CAN SAY THAT THIS CERTAINLY NEEDS INVESTIGATION AS A CAUSE TO CRASHES. I WILL BE CONSULTING WITH MY FORD DEALERSHIP SOON TO SEE IF THIS SITUATION CAN BE CORRECTED BY MOVING MY MIRROR HIGHER ON THE WINDSHIELD.

| Oct 2019 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | MY NEW 2019 FORD F150 HAS A KNOCKING NOISE IN THE MOTOR THAT CAN BE HEARD 25 FEET FROM THE VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION HAS A CONSTANT WHINING NOISE CONTINUALLY UPON ANY ACCELERATION. BOTH WHILE STATIONARY, ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAY! | Crash: No Fire: No | 1,000 |
| Oct 2019 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | IN REPEATED COLLISION TESTS THE PRE-COLLISION ASSIST SYSTEM (STANDARD EQUIPMENT VERSION) INVARIABLY FAILED. FORD HAS BEEN COMPLETELY UNHELPFUL IN RESOLVING THE ISSUE AND HAS IMPLIED I SHOULDN'T EXPECT IT TO WORK! SEVERAL OTHER F-150S HAVE BEEN TESTED LOCALLY AND ALSO FAILED COLLISION TESTS . I STRONGLY SUSPECT THE STANDARD EQUIPMENT VERSION OF PRE-COLLISION ASSIST SYSTEM IS FAULTY IN MANY 2019 FORD PICKUPS. I HAVE VIDEOS OF MY TESTS BUT SEE NO WAY TO GET THEM TO YOU. | Crash: No Fire: No | 350 |
| Oct 2019 | POWER TRAIN | I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY BLOCK GOT TO A STOP SIGN AS I WAS GETTING READY TO PULL UP THE TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE. THE ENGINE WOULDN'T REV AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T SHIT. I DECIDED TO SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND WAIT A LITTLE STILL NOTHING. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE TRUCK TO MOVE WAS IN REVERSE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 7,105 |
| Sep 2019 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS THAT WILL TURN ON/OFF HIGH BEAMS. THE HIGH BEAMS SHOULD TURN ON WHEN CONDITIONS AHEAD ARE ACCEPTABLE AND OFF WHEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS PRESENT. HOWEVER, THE AUTOMATIC SYSTEM FREQUENTLY GETS CONFUSED BY ONCOMING HEADLIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS AND STREET LIGHTS, ETC., WHICH CAUSES IT TO FLASH THE HIGH BEAMS BRIEFLY AT ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ON TWO OCCASIONS ONCOMING DRIVERS THOUGHT THIS HIGH BEAM FLASH WAS A SIGNAL TO THEM TO GO AHEAD AND THEY TURNED IN FRONT OF ME, NEARLY CAUSING AND ACCIDENT. FLASHING HIGH BEAMS BRIEFLY IS COMMONLY DONE IN OUR AREA TO SIGNAL OTHER DRIVERS TO GO AHEAD. THE AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAMS SHOULD BE REPROGRAMMED TO PREVENT FLASHING THEM AT ONCOMING TRAFFIC. NOTE THAT WE HAVE A DIFFERENT MAKE/MODEL VEHICLE WITH THE SAME TYPE OF HEADLIGHT SYSTEM THAT WORKS FLAWLESSLY WITHOUT THIS PROBLEM. | Crash: No Fire: No | 4,000 |
| Sep 2019 | STEERING | STEERING HAS A HARMONIC VIBRATION AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40 MPH. ALL ROADS. | Crash: No Fire: No | 25 |
| Sep 2019 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S ALARM FAILED TO ACTIVATE, LOCK, AND START. IN ADDITION, THE "KEY NOT DETECTED" MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PURCHASED A BATTERY FOR THE KEY FOB. THE CONTACT CALLED CECIL ATKISSION FORD LINCOLN (2700 US-90, DEL RIO, TX 78840, (830) 775-7481) AND INFORMED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN A HIGH FREQUENCY AREA, THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,080. | Crash: No Fire: No | 9,080 |
| Sep 2019 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | BRAND NEW TRUCK WITH RAIN SENSING WIPERS. RAIN SENSING FUNCTION DOES NOT WORK. FIRST TIME IT RAINED THE WIPERS WOULD NOT SWIPE TO CLEAN WINDSHIELD. THE ONLY FUNCTIONS THAT WOULD WORK WERE HI AND OFF AND WHEN YOU TURNED THE WIPERS OFF THEY WOULD STOP AT RANDOM PLACES LIKE DIRECTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GLASS. THE RAIN SENSING POSITIONS (BETWEEN HI AND OFF) WOULD MOSTLY DO NOTHING BUT OCCASIONALLY WOULD DO RANDOM THINGS, NONE OF WHICH HELPED CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD (EITHER NOT ENOUGH SWIPES IN HEAVY RAIN OR TOO MANY SWIPES WHEN IT WASN'T RAINING). THERE ARE SETTINGS IN THE SOFTWARE TO TURN THE RAIN SENSING OFF BUT IT HAD NO EFFECT. WE TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER. THEY REPLACED SWITCH ASSEMBLY FL3Z*13K359*BC. HAD NO EFFECT. WIPERS STILL ACT THE SAME. THIS, IN MY OPINION, IS A SAFETY HAZARD, BECAUSE YOU CANNOT GET THE WIPERS TO SWIPE PROPERLY WHEN NEEDED FOR ONE, AND ALSO WHEN YOU FINALLY TURN THEM OFF THEY ROUTINELY STOP DIRECTLY IN THE DRIVERS LINE OF VISION. ALSO THERE APPEARS TO BE NO MANUAL BACKUP. | Crash: No Fire: No | 400 |
| Sep 2019 | STRUCTURE | OBSERVED THAT THERE WAS A SUBSTANTIAL BODY CRACK IN THE TOP SECTION OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE 'A PILLAR' NEAR THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THIS WAS OBSERVED WHEN DRYING THE VEHICLE AFTER WASHING IT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. | Crash: No Fire: No | 2,300 |
| Sep 2019 | POWER TRAIN,WHEELS | THERE IS A BAD VIBERATION AT 60/70 MPH. THIS IS A $74.000 F150 LIMITED. THEY PUT TWO NEW TIRES ON AND STILL BAD. NOW THEY ARE CHECKING ALL DRIVETRAIN STILL NOTHING. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 700 MILES ON IT. ITS A 2019. DO NOT WANT THIS TRUCK NOW. FORD KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. THIS IS A LOT OF MONEY FOR ME TO SPEND . I THINK THEY NEED TO BUY THIS TRUCK BACK, TO BIG A PROBLEM TO PUT UP WITH. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2019 | STRUCTURE | I BOUGHT MY 2019 FORD F 150 4X4 SUPERCREW APPX 1 MONTH AGO FROM POMPANO FORD. I NOTICED 2 DAYS AGO THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HINGE MAKES A CRACKING NOISE WHEN OPENING / CLOSING (WHILE STATIONARY). IT SOUNDS LIKE THE HINGE IS COMING A LOOSE AND MAT PRESENT DANGER WHEN KEEPING THE DOOR CLOSED. I CANNOT TELL IF THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE PART OF THE HINGE THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE DOOR, OR THE PART THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE BODY OF THE TRUCK. I HAVE NOT YET TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, BUT I PLAN TO DO IT TOMORROW. | Crash: No Fire: No | 1,200 |
| Jul 2019 | STEERING | OCCASIONALLY THE STEERING WANTS TO FORCE THE CAR INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC (TO THE LEFT) WHILE IN MOTION. THIS HAPPENS AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS RANDOM SYSTEM FAULTS SHOWING ALL SYSTEMS OFFLINE: CRUISE CONTROL, ANTI-COLLSION, BLIND SPOT MONITORING, ADVANCETRAC... *TR CONSUMER STATED ADDITIONAL INFO, THESE ALERTS WERE SENT TO MY FORDPASS ACCOUNT. NOW THE DEALER CANNOT FIND ANY INDICATION THAT THE TRUCK HAD ISSUES. BUT THEIR OWN VEHICLE SENT ME NOTICES.

| Jul 2019 | POWER TRAIN | I PURCHASED A 2019 FORD F-150 XLT WITH THE 10-SPEED TRANSMISSION AND THE 3.5L V6 ECOBOOST ENGINE ON 5/13/2019. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BECOME VERY PROBLEMATIC AND IS ROUGH TO SHIFT, SKIPS GEARS, AND HAS CREATED UNPLEASANT DRIVING EXPERIENCES FOR ME AND MY PASSENGERS. A FEW WEEKS AFTER OWNING MY TRUCK, I STARTED TO NOTICE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. INITIALLY THE TRUCK WOULD APPEAR TO 'SKIP' GEARS WHEN SHIFTING UP OR DOWN, AFTER I TURNED ON THE VEHICLE EACH DAY FOR THE FIRST TIME AND STARTED TO DRIVE. HOWEVER, THE TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED TO PERFORM WORSE OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS. THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT NOTICEABLY 'HARD' OR 'SLUGGISHLY' WHEN SHIFTING UP OR DOWN WITH AN OCCASIONAL LOUD 'CLANG' SOUND. THE VEHICLE SHIFTED SO HARD ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS THAT IT HAS CAUSED THE SEATBELT RESTRAINT FOR MYSELF AND MY PASSENGER TO ENGAGE, AT THE TIME THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. AFTER THE TWO INCIDENTS ABOVE AND THE INCREASED FREQUENCY IN WHICH THIS TRANSMISSION HAS DIFFICULTY PERFORMING, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 7/1/2019. THE APPOINTMENT LASTED ABOUT AN HOUR (IF THAT). THE SERVICE ADVISOR [CHARLIE RYAN] ADVISED THAT THE TRUCK WAS 'HOOKED UP TO THE DIAGNOSTIC' AND PROVIDED ME WITH A PRINTOUT AND TOLD ME 'THE TRANSMISSION WAS OPERATING NORMALLY, AND IT WILL SKIP GEARS BY DESIGN'. I ASKED WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX IT, SINCE THE TRUCK IS JERKING ME AROUND WHILE DRIVING. HE SAID THERE WAS NOT A FIX AND I SHOULD LOG A COMPLAINT WITH FORD AND IF ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAIN, MAYBE A RECALL WOULD BE ISSUED FOR THIS TRUCK MODEL/CONFIGURATION. THE VEHICLE IS NOT OPERATING AS EXPECTING AND IS STARTING TO BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN. | Crash: No Fire: No | 1,200 |
| Jul 2019 | STRUCTURE,ENGINE | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AFTER A TRIP, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE 'SEE DEALER IMMEDIATELY' INDICATOR ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RED ROCK FORD OF WILLISTON (888-706-7217, LOCATED AT 410 32ND AVE W, WILLISTON, ND 58801) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EGR ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO MISSING SCREWS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE CONTACT WAS NOT CALLED BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 4,360. *TR THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WITH CODE: P245B - EGR COOLER BYPASS CONTROL CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE (BANK 1) THE PART REPLACED BY RED ROCK FORD OF WILLISTON IS THE SAME PART NUMBER WHICH HAD A RECALL FOR 2018 F150 DIESELS. THIS PART WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE INSTALLED AFTER OCTOBER 20, 2018. CONTACT TRUCK WAS BUILT ON FEBRUARY 4, 2019.*JB | Crash: No Fire: No | 4,360 |
| May 2019 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES | 1) FORWARD COLLISION/PRE-COLLISION AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM AND WARNING (VISIBLE & AUDIBLE) DO NOT WORK AND IS NON-RESPONSIVE DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. 2) LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK AND IS NON-RESPONSIVE DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. | Crash: No Fire: No | 150 |
| May 2019 | SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE PRE-COLLISION AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED TO OPERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CALLED FORD OF BOERNE AT 210-920-3023 (LOCATED AT 31480 I-10, BOERNE, TX 78006) AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE TECHNICIAN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150. *AS CONSUMER STATED MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE FORWARD COLLISION RESPONSE SYSTEM AND AUTOMATIC BRAKING DO NOT WORK. UPON MY VISIT TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NO WAY TO CHECK THE SYSTEM TO SEE IF IT WORKS (AND THIS INFORMATION SUPPOSEDLY CAME FROM FORD ENGINEERS). THEREFORE, THE SYSTEM IS NOT CAPABLE OF BEING TESTED, THE SYSTEM IS NOT FAIL-SAFE OF ERRORS, THE SYSTEM IS INCAPABLE OF DEMONSTRATING REPEAT FRONT COLLISION WARNING AND EMERGENCY BRAKING.*JB | Crash: No Fire: No | 150 |
| Apr 2019 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | ADDITIONAL PHOTO RELATING TO COMPLAINT #11194721 THE CAUSE OF THE TILTED 2" RECEIVER TUBES ON THE 2019 F-150 TRUCKS IS DUE TO THE INCORRECT ATTACHMENT OF THE WELD BRACKET IS NOT FLUSH WITH THE MAIN STRUCTURE THEREFORE CAUSING THE RECEIVER TUBE TO TILT DOWN.

| Apr 2019 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | SEE ATTACHED PHOTO RELATED TO COMPLAINT #11194721 OEM FACTORY INSTALLED TOW HITCH RECEIVER TUBE NOT PARALLEL, CAUSING INCORRECT ALIGNMENT OF TRAILER COUPLING TO TOW HITCH BALL. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2019 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | FACTORY INSTALLED TOW HITCH RECEIVER TUBE IS NOT LEVEL. THE 2" SQUARE TUBE WAS NOT WELDED EXACTLY PERPENDICULAR TO THE TOW RECEIVER STRUCTURE. THE 2" RECEIVER TUBE IS TILTED DOWN 1/4" CAUSING THE COUPLING TO BE "JACKKNIFED" DOWN. THE TOP OF THE TOW BALL IS NOT LEVEL WHICH WILL CONTRIBUTE TO UNEVEN PRESSURE / STRESS ON THE SHANK OF THE BALL WHEN TOWING A TRAILER. USING A 8" TORPEDO LEVEL WILL SHOW THE DEFECT. SEVEN OUT OF TWENTY-ONE 2019 NEW F-150 TRUCKS I LOOKED AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAD THE SAME DEFECT. UNEVEN STRESS / PRESSURE ON THE BALL SHANK MAY CAUSE THE SHANK AND BALL TO FAIL WHEN TOWING THE MAXIMUM 9000 POUNDS. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
