No warning that this vehicle is designed to cut itself off after 30 minutes of idle time. This is NOT STANDARD and no owner would ever know or expect this. Ford should have at minimal a warning placard like it does for airbags. We purposely got a 250 truck to use the idle with AC as we setup and cool down our RV. Thankfully we found out about this to avoid serious injury, living in TX climate where temps outside reach 100+ degrees. Someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed since this is NOT expected or a STANDARD feature of ANY vehicle. There needs to be at least a warning but ideally, a permanent override for the owner, or default to normal idle.

Several issues. At 1100 miles the sound system or the 12” touch screen locks up sometimes so that touch screen doesn’t work, stereo turns off, a sudden loud tone comes on from all the speakers at full volume and the volume control, screen nothing works to turn it down and you have to turn the truck off completely and wait 5-10 minutes before turning it back on and then everything works. Today, I started the truck and discovered that the heated steering wheel and heated seats were on high (When I have never even used them before) so I turned them off. I went into a store and came out 5 minutes later, restarted the truck and the heated wheel/seats had come on again by themselves. The truck will also make a warning tone occasionally while driving but nothing even shows on the screen. Its like I have electrical gremlins jumping from system to system.
The instrument panel cluster has failed. You can not see how fast you are going, none of the dash is lit up. You are unable to determine if there are any issues going on with the vehicle. The adaptive cruise control and emergency braking system is not working properly. The battery will also not hold a charge. Our safety is at risk as we don't know what is going on with the fuctions of the truck or if it will start. Yes, ford has confirm this problem and issued a recall. The dealership has inspected the vehicle. There were no warnings of the problem before it occurred. The instrument panel and other functions of the vehicle just stopped working. We are in contact regularly with the dealership and Ford. Initially they placed us in a long term rental since the current Truck is not driveable however, they are wanting to terminate that rental and not provided us with the needed vehicle. Currently, there is not a part to fix this issue. This was a vehicle that was purchased brand new and within 6 weeks we experienced this electronic failure. We need Ford to step up and provide a Ford F250 as we purchased until this is fixed.
Instrument pan is completely out and ford has no fix for it.
