The vehicles DEF system malfunctioning issue causes a warning to illuminate on the dash stating the “Speed Will Be Limited To 50 MPH in 50 Miles” but the DEF Fluid is and was in fact near full or full. When this incident happened I did not stop after the 50 miles had lapsed and the vehicle eventually began to slow down on I-80 going Westbound and caused numerous of vehicles(Cars, Trucks, Semis) to be forced to go around me to avoid hitting my vehicle where I was pulling an RV. In order to reset the system I had to pull to the side of the road where there was barely a shoulder to pull over to and turn my vehicle off then wait for some time then restart the vehicle. Road traveling conditions on I-80 is 80 MPH and this issued raised a tremendous safety concern for me. The issue has been ongoing since winter 2023. I brought this to the dealership attention because there is some sort of system/computer issue but they blamed it on my batteries. Then it happened to my neighbor and he has a 2019 Ford F-350 SuperDuty 6.7L Powerstroke Diesel with new batteries.

Gatormade gooseneck trailers equipped with electric over hydraulic disc brakes will loose trailer connection to ford trucks model years 2022+ and some newer GM trucks upon restart of the vehicle resulting in the loss of trailer brakes. Also randomly while driving the trailer will loose connection with the tow vehicle and loose trailer braking ability.

They are advising me to try and add resistors to remedy the issue.

I have had severe vibration in the rear of my pickup and have been to the dealer 5 or 6 times,they tell me all is normal and it's the nature of this $120,000 pickup. But for only having 28,000 miles they did say the rear driveline and carrier bearing could be the culprit,they replaced and still have the same problem and now it has a howling noise when it starts to vibrate at 62 per hour and doesn't go away till after 76 miles per hour,very disappointed as the dealer tells me they don't know and has been no recalls of this but you read online there is 100s of complaints about this same issue. Now for the second issue is the transmission. It's also been to the dealer 4 times and they also tell me this is the nature of the 10r140 transmission. As I go to pull into traffic to get going when it shift from 3rd to 4th and from 4th to 5th it has about a 1 and a half to 2 second hesitation between both shifts and I have almost caused an incident do to it not shifting to get going. Once I get going it wants to search for a gear every now and again. When I'm coming down from hwy speeds coming into town there has been multiple times it has down shifted so hard it has skidded the rear tires and has made me go sideways,it gets really bad when it's wet. The dealer has rode with me when this has happened and said something is bad wrong with it but plug it into there machine and doesn't show any codes. I then get the run around and every excuse again that's the nature of the 10 speed,they'll do a reset and relearn and says that will fix it and it doesn't. And for the last problem is clunking in the front end has been tierod ends done twice now in the last 3000 miles and now it's going back in for the 3rd time for the same ones again are bad again. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle with my family in it and would like some help or answers to why this is happening on such a new and expensive vehicle and why is ford not doing anything when all these issues are on the internet.
