The vehicle will not start. There will be times that it will start nicely but we are unsure on when the next failed start will be. When turning the key in the ignition it will just light up the dashboard and radio but will not turn over or start. Sometimes we are able to get it to start after a few tries, other times is has taken us an entire day to get it to start. Not very reliable since we purchased this vehicle for pulling a camping trailer and we are afraid that it will leave us stranded. Some research has indicated that maybe the circuit board is bad, but i have seen no recalls or anything specific coming from Ford Company. Last occurrence was Thanksgiving Day when we were visiting family out of town!!

2019 ford f-250. Consumer writes in regard to def system safety recall.
The power open tailgate will randomly open without any initiation from the operator either from the key fob, dash mounted release button or tailgate release handle. This occurred several times including while the vehicle was parked, while backing out of the driveway and while going down a side street at low speeds. During these uninitiated tailgate openings, a clicking noise can be heard from the passenger's side footwell presumably coming from the relay. Damage did occur to the tailgate during one occasion when it opened by itself and struck a wall. This can potentially be a significant safety issue if the tailgate unintentionally opens while driving on the road either by striking a vehicle behind it or causing the payload to fall from the bed of the vehicle.
Tailgate opens when driving ,taken it to Ford dealer several times and tailgate still opens on its own when driving. Dealer cannot find issue.Opened again after coming home from dealership I called Ford motor company and they told me that if issue couldn't be duplicated Ford could not help me with this Safety Issue This has been going for at least 1 1/2 yrs

While driving my 2019 ford f-250 super-duty on the highway at night I was traveling approximately 70 MPH when suddenly the touch screen radio display brightness intensified so bright that it appeared as if a headlight was inside the car. When that happened, I found myself temporarily night blinded and I struggled to hold position in my lane. I tried to turn the radio off with no success. I momentarily switched the headlight switch off and on which normally dims the radio display but that didn't help either. I grabbed a towel from inside the cab and laid it over the dash and radio so I could block the light and drive. There was no prior malfunction or indication of impending issue. Since the occurrence, I have learned that ford has a widely known problem with the sync 3 system along with numerous failed apim modules. Unfortunately they have not issued a recall. This is a serious hazard and I wanted to let other consumers be aware of the danger.
Was driving down the highway , tailgate opened on its own and tailgate fell off
While using my vehicle to plow, the dashboard display suddenly went blank, I could sync my phone, the clock and date now appeared with with different date/time. I contacted customer service and was advised that I have to install an additional battery. At the time of purchase, the plow package option was included in the price. I asked why this cost showed be paid by me, I was told to explore a battery rebate.
Truck's tailgate opens automatically and without warning. Vehicle was in motion but unsure what speed as no indication that tailgate is open. This has happened twice before.
Had tailgate recall done in february 2020. Tailgate continues to open on its own. Dealer can't find the problem. Recent incident 11/9/2020 tailgate opened twice while on road and damaged 5th wheel camper cargo door. Vehicle at dealer 3 days couldn't get tailgate to repeat incident. Advised nothing they can do. Prior to leaving dealer tailgate wouldn't open. Recall fix has not worked. I searched internet and found numerous others who are having same problem.

Ford also claims they don't have any problems with unintended tailgate openings .this a serious safety hazard . The vehicle was on a major highway when this event occured .
While driving & parked air the bag symbol comes on along with cross traffic system fault & blind spot system fault the AC blows hot air, windows, door locks, turn signal, and touch screen all stop working. It's like you are completely locked in the truck.
I was driving 70-75 MPH on the highway when my f250 truck started violently shaking (aka the "shake of death" or "death wobble") and was unable to control the truck. I almost crashed. All my belongings in my truck were all over. The vehicle almost flipped. Its a miracle I was able to make it out alive. I took the truck to the dealer and they "fixed" the "damper asy". Ford is not acknowledging that this is a serious ongoing problem with many customers. Doing research I realize how many close calls and injuries people have suffered due to this problem on the same year ford trucks, there is also a class action lawsuit that's been pending for a while apparently. There should be a recall on all these trucks before tragedy happens!

Tailgate opens unexpectitaly. Happens at rest and while moving. Don't know it has happened until exiting the vehicle or putting in reverse.
Electronic tailgate opens up on its own while driving down the highway or while parked. I nearly lost my cargo due to this which would have caused an accident. Also, I injured my hand when the tailgate opened on its own and was pinched between the tail gate and trailer jack. Nothing bones were fractured but was really sore and had bruising and laceration. I found online how this was previously investigated in the 2017 ford super duty but no recall was issued. I have a 2019 superduty and was injured and nearly caused an accident on different occasions. I have had the tailgate open on its own 12 times now and it is getting worse. I have not found any specific action/configuration that triggers this. It is totally random. Please help
While using the boss 8'2" v-plow I purchased for my 2019 f250 I experienced radio failure, dash lights and functions intermittently going on and off. This truck was purchased with a plow prep package, it appears to happen most often when the plow is raised to the highest position and the cylinder bottoms out
Shortly after starting and while in motion, receiving a blind spot system fault and a cross traffic system fault. It indicates the driver rear to be the problem. This is intermittent in nature.
