On 4 separate occasions approaching stops/stoplights the engine shuddered and died leaving me without power steering or power brakes. Three additional occasions while taking off from stops the engine did the same thing and dies suddenly causing the vehicles behind me to rear end one another. The electrical system has malfunctioned while driving, leaving me without blinkers, headlights or dash lights. The dealer as well as ford are aware of the problem and have issued reports regarding the faulty engines. This truck has been in the dealership multiple times without remedy from ford. There is no warning prior to the engine shuddering and cutting off. These issues have been reported since the first month of ownership. We purchased this vehicle new.

Headlights failing or too dim by model year
What owners say
The passenger side LED headlight first began to flicker 2 months ago. Headlight would be on and then suddenly go off. Then the problem switched to the driver side headlight. Now, sometimes both lights go off. I have owned the truck for 2 years now and have had multiple people flash me at night indicating that my low beams are still to bright for the other drivers.
The complete instrument panel went out. The only thing that worked were the head lights and tail lights the dealer fixed it but don't know what caused it. On a highway about 40 MPH
Moisture in headlights . Making it difficult to see at night.
The head lights on both dim and bright do not shine ahead far enough to safely see at night. I have friends who have 2015 model year of the same truck and they have complained to me about it. And in bad weather the situation is much worse.
