Thank you for a chance to file this information. The cruise speed control and lane keeping systems are not working consistently and properly. They fail every week when tested. So far - the dealer-warranty fixes have not been the remedy needed. The cruise control system on steeper slopes doesn't provide braking to stay at the set speed - and at times it doesn't provide any braking resistance - so the vehicle takes off full speed with gravity. The lane keeping system doesn't provide consistent drivers' assistance to prevent departing the lane - even with new/freshly painted center-lanes/side of the road lanes.

A considerable amount of water intrusion has occurred in the rear light bar which is for braking and reverse lights. After taking it to my dealer, Ford has stated that unless water is "pooled" inside the unit this is normal, and that some condensation inside the assembly is "normal". I don't believe a sealed unit is supposed to have any water inside it, and this is the exact issue that lead to the recall campaign 23S30, which was performed on this truck in probably late 2023. I am concerned that this water will lead to malfunction as is happening to many other owners on the discussion forums, and I won't know.

The brake lines that leave the master cylinder and route down to the frame rail. There is a short, flexible connection between the body side hard brake line, and chassis side hard brake line. This connection consists of braided flexible steel hose with crimped connections securing it to the hard line. All of the crimps on the flexible connection in that area are collecting dust build up, and have a wet appearance to them. When you touch them, you get an oily residue on your fingers. Yes it is available for inspection. If air enters the braking system where it is leaking, this will cause the brakes to become inoperable, due to air being more compressible than brake fluid. No it has not been inspected by the dealer. And it has not been confirmed by a dealer, I have not brought it to them yet. There has been no indication of the leak from within the vehicle, it is not dripping under neath. I only found it because I was checking the oil and inspecting other items at the same time. Noticed it around 28k miles

I attempted to schedule the fix for this recall and Ford is saying they will not fix unless the axel bolt has already failed. I read the recall notice as Ford will fix the axel regardless if is has failed or not.
