2020 FORD F-150 Complaints

THE REAR CAMERA IS SHOWING THE IMAGE COMPLITLY DISTORTED. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK 10-03-2020 AND IN ONE WEEK LSTER THE REAR CAMERA WAS NOT WORKING ALL THE IMAGES WERE BLURRY AND DISTORTION.AT THE FULL SCREEN.

BACKUP CAMERA GOES IN/OUT. IT WILL DISPLAY A DISTORTED SCREEN AND/OR GO BLACK THEN DISPLAY MALFUNCTION HAS OCCURRED AND TO CONTACT DEALER. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE JULY 2020 AND GETTING WORSE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN .

THE REARVIEW CAMERA DOES NOT WORK - INTERMITTENTLY EITHER BLURS OUT OR BLACKS OUT, SOMETIMES GOES TO A BLUE SCREEN WITH NO FUNCTIONALITY. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PLACED IN REVERSE.

BACKUP CAMERA DISTORTED AND GOING BLANK WHILE BACKING UP ON HOT OR RAINY DAYS .LAST 3 MONTHS

ON SEPTEMBER 27, 2020 AT ABOUT 2:30 PM I WAS TOWING A CAMPER APPROXIMATELY 150 MILES WITH THE AUTO START STOP DISABLED BY THE BUTTON ON THE DASHBOARD. I MADE A LEFT TURN FROM A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. WHEN I TURNED THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND A WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASHBOARD THAT SAID 'AUTO START STOP. SHIFT TO P AND RESTART ENGINE'. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND COASTED TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND IT STAYED RUNNING. AS I MENTIONED, I HAD DISABLED THE AUTO START STOP FUNCTION AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TRIP IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION OR WHERE I COULDN'T HAVE STOPPED MY WIFE AND I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR EVEN BEEN KILLED. I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET AND IT IS NOT AN UNCOMMON OCCURRENCE. THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT THAT VERY LIKELY WILL CAUSE PEOPLE TO BE HIT AND KILLED AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

THIS VEHICLE, WHICH IS OTHERWISE REQUIRED TO HAVE ONE, WAS DELIVERED FOR LEASE WITH AN INOPERATIVE BACKUP CAMERA ON AUGUST 24, 2020. THE CAMERA IS ON BACK ORDER FROM THE MANUFACTURER. IT WAS DISCLOSED TO ME THAT MULTIPLE VEHICLES FROM THIS MANUFACTURER WERE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS BUT WERE STILL BEING SOLD AS NEW VEHICLES.

THE BACKUP CAMERA ON THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WILL PIXELIZE; GIVE LINES; OR JUST SHOW A BLANK SCREEN WITH A CONTACT DEALERSHIP. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE NEW. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED THAT THEY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ALL THEIR 2020 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES WITH BACKUP CAMERAS AND THERE IS A BACK ORDER. THAT WAS APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS AGO.

THE GEAR WILL NOT GO INTO PARK AND ALLOW ME TO START. ALSO, THE DISPLAY INDICATES I AM IN THE WRONG GEAR DISPLAY SHOWS NEUTRAL BUT TRUCK IS IN DRIVE, DISPLAY SHOWS REVERSE BUT THE TRUCK IS IN NEUTRAL. THIS ALL HAPPENED AFTER BACKING THE TRUCK UP IN REVERS, STOPPING AND SHIFTING TO DRIVE TO PULL FORWARD AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE. THEN I COULD NO LONGER PUT IN PARK. THE ONLY WAY TO GET INTO PARK IS TO BANG THE GEAR SHIFT FORWARD FORCIBLY. THIS ALL HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF A HOTEL PARKING LOT. FORD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED BUT THEY WERE USELESS WITH NO REMEDY.

I WAS IN FRONT END COLLISION AT APPROX 50 MPH IMPACT AND SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HIT STEERING WHEEL IN COLLISION

MY TRUCK IS 5 MONTHS OLD AND HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES TO HAVE THE FRONT CAMERA FIXED. THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE FRONT CAMERA AND IT STILL DOES NOT WORK. THE TRUCK HAS A FRONT CAMERA SIDE CAMERAS AND A REAR CAMERA. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT DIFFERENT CAMERAS NOT WORKING AND FORD JUST IGNORES IT OR REPLACED THE FAULTY CAMERA WITH ANOTHER SEEMINGLY FAULTY CAMERA. NUMEROUS REPORTS AND NUMEROUS VEHICLES HAVE BEEN TO FORD WITH THE SAME ISSUE, THE CAMERAS FAILING, FRONT SIDE AND BACK UP CAMERAS. ON A TRUCK THAT COST AS MUCH AS THEY DO SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS A CAMERA TO HELP PEOPLE BACK UP AND JUDGE THE DISTANCE PULLING INTO PARKING SPOTS IS PATHETIC. MANY PEOPLE WHO DON'T DRIVE TRUCKS OFTEN RELY ON THESE CAMERAS AS A SAFETY FEATURE WHEN BACKING UP OR PULLING INTO SPOTS TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER CAR. THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE MOVING 5MPH OR SLOWER FOR THE CAMERAS TO WORK AND PARKED OF MOVING THEY DO NOT WORK.
