The sunroof will leak through both the rear passanger seatbelt assembly which could damage the integrity of the seatbelt and/or seatbelt mount. Additionally, water will come out of the microphone/sunroof controls above the driver, which can cause the driver to become distracted and/or momentarily visually impaired. There are multiple posts in forums about this issue and I think it should be addressed by the federal safety agency.
The power tailgate opened and dropped down, on its own, while driving the truck, approximately 45mph.
On 1/23/22, my passenger front door latch became frozen and will not open. I understand that this problem has been reported on similar vehicles, but the "fix" if installed does not solve the problem. The current outside temperature is 4 degrees Fahrenheit. All the remaining doors are functioning as they should, but my concern is that it will repeat or worse, not close/latch properly.
The tail gate lowered on its own while we were driving down a high way and towing our camper. It dented the propane tanks and shifted the hitch system in addition to totaling the tail gate.
I have 2 major issues: 1. My tailgate keeps opening on its own. It has happened while I was driving as well as when it is parked. Damage happened to the tailgate when it opened on its own in the garage and was leaning against the garage door when my wife opened the garage door to leave in her vehicle. It also happened while driving on the highway. This issue has happened multiple times but garage issue happened this morning and will put that as the date it happened below. 2. Also the lane minding system keeps alarming telling me to put my hands on the wheel when I have never let go of the wheel in the first place - the service department told me it was because I was driving too straight, that the system wants to detect movement in the steering wheel (am I supposed to drive serpentine down the road to keep my vehicles alarm from going off and distracting me?). The alarm happens when I am driving on straight areas of the road. This is an ongoing issue, pretty much on a daily basis since I bought the truck.
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.
I was involved in an accident in my new ford f-150 king ranch on the above date traveling on the henry hudson parkway (manhattan) southbound. My truck was struck in the rear passenger door by an unknown vehicle and caused us to spin out 2 times at 60 MPH and hit the center concrete divider almost directly head on. We hit to the passenger side of the front of the truck.. The airbags didn't deploy. The canisters on the side impact airbags opened and the powder was all over but the bags didn't deploy. I don't think this was normal and I feel it should be looked at. There was $31,000 damage to the vehicle which wasn't totaled. Is this something that this agency will look into for me?

Ford team, on sunday, january 24th I had a major safety malfunction with my 2020 f-150 I bought this past summer in menomonie wi. Description on the incident: I pulled my truck out of my garage to pull my atv trailer out. Once the trailer was pulled out, I started my truck back up and proceeded to pull it back into the garage. While coasting in, I press the brakes to stop the truck and the ABS kicked in at the rear tires kept driving my truck forward. I ended up slamming into my work bench which is attached to my back wall. I remember looking down at my pedal and wondering why the truck was still driving forward when the brakes were pressed. I have pulled into my garage hundreds of times and this time was no different. I know what the ABS feels like and this was not the case. The truck tried to out power the ABS and didn't stop until I hit. I hit so hard that the garage shook and items were falling off my shelves. The amount of damage I incurred would not have happened if I was just coasting into the bench. Talking to a co-worker he stated this had happened to his dad in the past and said there might be an error in the code, something to do with it still being in high idle and the ABS kicked in. If this error cannot be diagnosed I'm not sure I feel safe driving this truck anymore. Makes me sick to my stomach to think what would have happened if one of my kids were in front of me. Please trouble-shoot this issue and follow up with the cause and how much damage as been done. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).”
Multiple issues with vehicle infotainment system. Replaced twice. Rear parking camera malfunctioing after two replacements. Whenever there is rain fall water leaks into the driver's side floor. This has caused major rust build up. Vehicle has only 3k miles on it.
The floor boards on the driver side is staying wet and has caused mold to form on the carpet this is a problem because mold is not good for your respiratory system.
Drove from new jersey to brooklyn, over the verrazzano parked and guess what... Tailgate was open with my tools exposed? Heading home nice driver in tunnel made me aware the tailgate was open. Finished driving through tunnel, pulled over to close tailgate for the third time on one day.
