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!!

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.

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.

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!

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
