| May 2021 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | MY TRUCK ACCELERATED TWICE WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS STOPPED AT A YIELD SIGN WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO PASS. I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, MY TRUCK IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED. I PRESSED THR BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN AND THE TRUCK ENGINE/TRANSMISSION RPMS DID NOT DECREASE UNTIL THE TRUCK FULLY STOPPED. I INTENTIONALLY STOPPED ABOUT 10 METERS BEHIND THE NEXT VEHICLE IN A LEFT TURN LANE. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. THE TRUCK ACCELERATED BY ITSELF TOO FAST. I HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES HARD AGAIN. AFTER I PRESSED THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AGAIN, THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION RESET TO NORMAL OPERATION. I DID NOT EXPERIENCE THR PROBLEM ON THE REMAINING DRIVE HOME. I WAS EXITING OFF OF A HIGHWAY 5 TO EXIT ON TO A CITY STREET. THIS ACCELERATION WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF THERE WERE CARS IN FRONT OF MY TRUCK. CONSUMER STATED HE WENT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD "SPEEDING OUT OF CONTROL" WAS CAUSE BY GAS PEADL STICKING TO 3RD PARTY FLOOR MAT. CONSUMER REMOVED THE FLOOR MAT.*JB | Crash: No Fire: No | 27,115 |
| May 2021 | SEATS | MY 2020 FORD F-150 CREW CAB XLT WITH 38000 MILES HAD A SEAT FAILURE ON MAY 05, 2021 WHEN I HIT A POTHOLE ON I-75 NEAR LEXINGTON KY WHILE TRAVELING 70 MILES PER HOUR. I COULD EAISLY SEE OVER STEERING WHEEL WITH MY 5'2" HEIGHT SINCE OUR PURCHASE OF THIS FAMILY HAULER VEHICLE MANY MONTHS AGO. AT THE IMPACT OF SMALL POTHOLE THE SEAT DROPPED ABOUT 3 INCHES, I HAD TO PULL UP WITH MY ARMS ON STEERING WHEEL TO SEE OUT WINDSHIELD TO MAKE IT TO SHOULDER. I PILED COATS UNDER ME TO MAKE IT HOME. MY HUSBAND AND I FOUND BROKEN PLASTIC UNDER SEAT? I WEIGH 105 LBS AND MY HUSBAND WEIGHS 205 LBS. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THE SEAT IN A 50,000 DOLLAR TRUCK WOULD BE MADE OF CHEAP PLASTIC AND FAIL THAT EASY. REPAIR SHOP ADVISED THIS IS COMMON IN NEW FORD TRUCKS. VERY UNSAFE! | Crash: No Fire: No | 38,000 |
| May 2021 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | NOTHING | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2021 | ENGINE | I WAS TURNED UP A DRIVEWAY AND THE TRUCK STALLED THE WARNING LIGHT SAID AUTO START STOP PUT IN P AND START ENGINE. I TURNED OFF AUTO START STOP AND PUT IN P AND IT STARTED | Crash: No Fire: No | 12,073 |
| Apr 2021 | STRUCTURE | PURCHASED MY F150 NEW AND FROM THE DEALER AND THE FRAME WAS OIL SPRAYED TO PREVENT CORROSION AND RUST BEFORE TAKING THE VEHICLE HOME. TRUCK NOW SITS JUST UNDER 8,000MI AND THE REAR AXLE AND A GOOD PORTION OF FASTENERS ARE ALL RUSTY AS IF THE TRUCK IS 15YRS OLD. THE SKID PLATE UNDER THE TRANSFER CASE LOOKS LIKE IT MAY HAVE BEEN ZINC PLATED FROM THE FACTORY BUT NOW IT'S ALL PITTED AND CORRODED AND DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A NEW TRUCK. I CAN'T HARDLY BELIEVE THAT AFTER SUCH A SHORT TIME THE UNDERSIDE LOOKS LIKE THIS AS IF THERE WAS NO PAINT APPLIED TO ANYTHING AT THE FACTORY. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF AND FIXED BY FORD. | Crash: No Fire: No | 7,800 |
| Apr 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE | FOR THE 3RD TIME WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY 2020 F150 STX WITH ONLY 4,218 MILES THE ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY AND DISPLAYED 'AUTO STARTSTOP SHIFT TO P, THEN RESTART ENGINE' ON THE DASH DISPLAY. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ON 4/22/21 I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A STREET GOING ABOUT 20 MPH. FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME OR BEHIND ME AND I WAS NOT TRYING TO TURN AT AN INTERSECTION WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A COLLISION. THE SAME THING HAD HAPPENED ON 3/18/21 WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET GOING ABOUT 15 MPH. AND THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ON 2/20/21 I WAS PULLING IN TO MY DRIVEWAY SO STOPPING AND DOING SO WAS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM. I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I FELT VERY UNSAFE IN MY TRUCK IF THIS PROBLEM DOESN'T GET RESOLVED PEOPLE CAN GET IN TO AN ACCIDENT AND GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND ALSO CHECKED MY VIN FOR ANY RECALLS AND I WAS SURPRISED TO NOT FIND ANY. FROM RESEARCHING ONLINE FORUMS THE AUTO START/STOP FUNCTION APPEARS TO BE FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED/RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE WIDESPREAD AND ACROSS MULTIPLE MODEL YEARS. ON 4/24/21 I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT THE TECH CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT THEY RAN SEVERAL TESTS AND THE TRUCK DID NOT GIVE ANY PROBLEM CODES. FOR SAFETY DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DID NOT WANT ME TO DRIVE TRUCK SO THEY WOULD KEEP IT AND WOULD CONTACT FORD TO REPORT ISSUE AND WAIT FOR THEIR RECOMMENDATION. I'M STILL WAITING FOR UPDATE. I HOPE FORD TAKES THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY AND DOES A RECALL. | Crash: No Fire: No | 4,218 |

THE GLASS SHARDS WERE IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK AND ALONG THE RIM OF THE BED EDGES. I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE FOR OTHER DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN USE, NOT OCCUPIED AND NO OBJECTS TO CAUSE DAMAGE.

| Apr 2021 | POWER TRAIN | WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO HAVE INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH UP AND DOWN SHIFTING ANYWHERE FROM GEARS 1-7. FEELINGS OF TRANSMISSION SLIP AND HESITATION TO SHIFT. ALSO IT IS NOISY SOMETIMES. YOU CAN HEAR IT DOWNSHIFT. IT SOUNDS LIKE A HARD STEEL CLUNK. ONLY ONE TIME THOUGH HAVE I EXPERIENCE A MODERATE DOWNSHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS THAT SLOWED THE VEHICLE MUCH MORE THAN THE BRAKING DID. I HAVE NO PHOTOS OR DEALER REPORTS OF THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE DEALER SAID 'THEY JUST SHIFTED ROUGH' | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Mar 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | COMPLAINT IS THAT FORD WILL NOT COMPLETE THE WORK ON THEIR RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE FRONT CAMERA INTERMITTENTLY DOES NOT WORK. ISSUE STARTED APPROXIMATELY 9-10 MONTHS AGO AT WHICH TIME IT OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 20% OF THE TIME.

FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT TRYING TO TURN AND CROSS TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CATASTROPHIC T-BONE COLLISION.

FROM RESEARCHING ONLINE FORUMS, THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE WIDESPREAD AND ACROSS MULTIPLE MODEL YEARS. | Crash: No Fire: No | 800 |
| Mar 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | THERE IS A KNOWN RECALL ON THE BACKUP CAMERA WTIH FORD. BUT MY LOCAL DEALER HAS THE PART ON BACKORDER FOR GOING ON 3 MONTHS NOW. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE.

| Mar 2021 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | UNDERCAB MATTING USED FOR AERO AND PROTECTION OF TRANSMISSION / EXPOSED UNDERWIRING IS EASILY SATURATED BY MOISTURE FROM NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR AND TEAR TO VEHICLE COMPONENTS. THE MATTING ON OUR VEHICLE HAS ALREADY TORN ON ONE SIDE (AT 15K MI), WITH SERVICE SUGGESTING TO "ZIP TIE" THE PARTS BACK TOGETHER OR REMOVE THE PANEL AND EXPOSE THE TRANSMISSION AND WIRING TO ADDITIONAL WEAR AND TEAR. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER SIMILAR F150S WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A LARGE UNDERBODY PANEL AND CAN POSE SIGNIFICANT RISK TO MOTORISTS OR CYCLISTS BEHIND IF IT WERE TO FAIL AND DETACH FROM THE VEHICLE. ATTACHED IMAGE IS OF DRIVERS SIDE LOOKING UP/UNDER TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 15,000 |
| Mar 2021 | POWER TRAIN,SERVICE BRAKES,ENGINE | JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO THE STORE, THEN AROUND TOWN. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN DOWN A SIDE STREET, I PUSHED THE BUTTON FOR THE HEAT, TO TURN IT OFF. I HEARD A WEIRD BUZZING NOISE. MY BREAKS STOPPED WORKING FULLY. NO BREAKS AT ALL. NO POWER BREAK, SINCE IT'S ELECTRICAL OR SOMETHING. NO WAY TO STOP THE TRUCK. WHEN I TRIED TO PUSH THE GAS TO MOVE. THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION AT ALL. WHEN I FINALLY STOPPED. I TRIED TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUES. SWITCHING SEVERAL OPTIONS AND MODES TO TRY TO FIND THE SOLUTION. CALLED A MECHANIC. NO CODES WERE GIVEN ON THE SYSTEM. HAD TO WAIT 2 HOURS FOR A TOW TRUCK. I'M A DISABLED VET, HAD TO WALK BACK TO MY HOUSE TO GRAB MY OTHER CAR, SINCE I DIDN'T KNOW IF THIS TRUCK WAS JUST GOING TO DECIDE TO TAKE OFF WITH ME IN IT. THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS ELECTRICAL AND BUGGY. SURE ENOUGH. BEFORE THE TOW TRUCK GOT THERE, I WAS WITH ANOTHER PERSON WHO HAD A SIMILAR FORD F150. HE WENT THROUGH SOME OPTIONS. WITHOUT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR, THE TRUCK STARTED TO REV UP. WE QUICKLY WENT TO THE ENGINE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. IF THAT TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE ACTIVATED IT WOULD HAVE SMASHED INTO SEVERAL PEOPLE, CARS AND HOUSES. THEN THAT'S WHEN I LOOKED UP THE RECALL FOR THE 2020 F150 AND FOUND ALL THE INFORMATION I WISH I WOULD HAVE SEEN BEFORE THE PURCHASE. 365 MILES ON THE TRUCK. HAD IT LESS THAN 14 HOURS. DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 20 MINS. NOTICED PREMATURE RUST UNDERNEATH, BUT DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH OF IT. A LOT OF PARTS WERE RUSTING AND HAD NO PROTECTION. | Crash: No Fire: No | 365 |

| Mar 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE | FOR THE SECOND TIME TODAY, MY 2020 F150 HAS TURNED ITSELF OFF, WHILE I WAS DRIVING, WITH A MESSAGE TO "SHIFT TO PARK AND RESTART ENGINE". I HAPPENED TO BE PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, SO STOPPING AND DOING SO WAS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP AND DO THIS, BUT IF THIS HAPPENS ON A ROAD, OR WORSE, WHEN ENTERING AN INTERSECTION WHEN CROSSING WITHOUT STOPPING IS NECESSARY, SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED.. I HAVE NOT BOTHERED TO REPORT THIS TO FORD, BECAUSE I AM ACTIVE ON AN F150 FORUM AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE, AND FORD HAS NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT. I NOTICED SEVERAL PEOPLE SAID IT HAPPENED WHEN THE WEATHER WAS CHILLY - ONE PERSON SAID IT WAS 42 DEGREES. IN MY CASE, THE WEATHER TODAY IS 40, AND IT WAS SIMILAR WEATHER LAST TIME IT HAPPENED. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS IS RELATED, BUT IT'S AN INTERESTING COINCIDENCE OTHERWISE. MY CAR WAS MODERATELY WARMED UP, I HAD ONLY DRIVEN ABOUT 8 MILES. PICTURE OF THE DASH FROM TODAY'S INCIDENT ATTACHED. IN BOTH CASES, THE TRUCK WAS OTHERWISE DRIVING FINE, GIVING NO INDICATION OF PROBLEMS, AND ALSO STARTED RIGHT BACK UP AND SHOWED NO OTHER PROBLEM.
