Multiple times while I am driving my 2024 F250 on the highway while using cruise control, my truck's speed limit sign reading system mis-reads the 70 mph speed limit signs as a 35 mph sign and automatically activates emergency braking down to 35 mph unless I disengage the cruise control system. My local dealer confirmed the problem during a test drive, updated the software and advised the problem was solved. However, the same problem occurred several times this weed while I was driving on the highway. I believe that it is only a. matter of time until my truck causes an accident on the highway.

When Google rolled out Gemini and forced it as an interface with the Android Auto (SOLD AS A FEATURE BY FORD) it was not ready. It is still not ready. As soon as I experienced the problem with the onscreen and voice navigation integration I looked for a solution. At the time that was a rollback to the older interface, Google Assistant. I was content to just use the older interface, but Google has sent out a push notification informing everybody they are killing Google Assistant September 4th 2026. Gemini AI is still not ready. All you have to do is talk to it to find it often gives wrong results even when exact correct data is available in Google's own database. The case that broke me was trying to drive to a business location I had never been to before. Its local and I am familiar with the road layout of the area, but enroute Gemini AI kept trying to get me to go to a wrong location on a block where the street address can not exist. I have seen Google maps be wrong before, and I have seen address look ups be wrong before. This was different. It was willfully wrong. Google maps and all other lookup tools where correct. Gemini AI was taking me to a wrong location, and even when told to double check the actual data from Google Maps, or the actual data from the company's own website it insisted on taking me to the wrong location. I tried a huge array of methods to get it unbroken down to letting it know when I arrived at the correct location, that it was wrong, and it needed to correct its process. It actively argued with me. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN when your choices are to not use the navigation system at all, deal with a flakey AI that CAUSES distracted driving, or pull over along a busy roadway and manually enter everything on your cell phone with your thumbs. IT IS DANGEROUS to the point I have investigated alternatives, but Gemini is making inroads into Apple/Carplay as well. It's a real problem.

While driving, multiple warning lights illuminate simultaneously — ABS, brake, and all driver assist/safety systems — and the drive mode drops to Standard Locked. During these events the anti-lock braking, stability control, traction control, and trailer sway control systems appear to go offline. I have photographs of the illuminated warnings. My own OBD-II scan on 7/9/26 recorded U0121 (lost communication with ABS module), U0415 (invalid data from ABS module), U3035 (communication authentication failure), and U1012. The dealer's own scan confirmed multiple stored "lost communication with ABS module" codes in module history. The vehicle has a documented history of water intrusion from the sunroof drains, which the dealer was unable to reproduce or repair; water tracked to the windshield/mirror electronics and into the dash. On 7/13/26 the dealer reprogrammed the ABS module with a software update but performed no physical inspection of the wiring, connectors, or modules for water damage or corrosion. The condition is intermittent and unresolved.

The dealer had attempted to repair the recall 26C10 on my truck that tows daily. The team has attempted to fix this problem with 3 service visits and performed multiple software flashes for Recall 26C10 which have failed to fix the safety defect. The trailer module hardware is bricked. Now I’m being told the module is on national back order and they are unsure what to do next.ñ, if this is even the fix. This is a serious safety issue that makes my truck useless for towing which is a major part of our regular use.

The vehicle looses the display screen and or the camera screen while driving forward and reverse at times. It also freezes up and glitches which then makes the reverse camera not in real-time causing a minor accident. The screen sometimes turns black and sometimes blue. Secondly the trailer towing lights don't work properly and say that the trailer disconnected or not working properly. We tow or move many vessels at work and it is not the trailers. It is the truck. I am sure I saw a recall ref the trailer plug but now it shows that there are no open recalls or issues. Again that is another safety issue. I have a ford bronco that had a reverse camera and display issue and it has a active recall on it. This f250 experiences the same issues. I don't know why it is not recalled
