Was driving less than 30 mph slowing down to turn on Hwy 185 in Port O Connor, Labor day 9-2-2023 busy day on road truck just locked up and stopped, could not push, engine was running truck would not move. County sheriff said it had to be moved now completely off the hiway or county would send a tow truck and put in impound lot since tires over the white line. THis is a 2 lane Hwy with no shoulders, part on private property part on hwy 185. We put in neutral towed it 1 1/2 blocks to friends property. Took 3 weeks for Ford to look at it and will not fix the REAR end which they say is damaged beyond repair and want Dealership will not warranty it truck has 55,000 miles. Truck just came to Sudden stop, and would not move 3 of us tried to push it off the road. if any cars was was behind me there would have been a crash them hitting me, it acted like the parking brake was slammed on with the auto parking brake system dealer says wires not chafed but refuses to claim warranty with ford.

Wheel end hub bolt sheared off of rear axle while driving. This causes an unstable axle and potential for increased wear on all connected wheel components which can lead to an accident with potential for injury or death.

In April 2023, while driving to work, at least a dozen error messages were displayed on the instrument cluster. When I arrived at work and was driving at a slower speed, I noticed some irregular feedback in the steering wheel and quickly realized the power steering was intermittently disabling itself. The truck had just rolled over 30k miles at this point and was well within the manufacturer's warranty period. I took the truck to the dealer for repair and got the truck back within a few days and was told it was repaired. The very next morning while driving to work again, the same problem ensued again with a dozen error messages and the power steering intermittently disabling itself. I took the truck bad to the dealer, contacted Ford customer care, and they got an engineering team to help work the problem. The service advisor also told me there were 3 other vehicles at their dealer with the same problem. After more than 30 days of being at the dealer for repair, the truck was returned to me again. Everything seemed to be fine for a couple months and then it returned again with many error messages and power steering failures. On Monday this week I started to pull out in traffic and the power steering disabled and caused me to cross the 2-lane road into oncoming traffic.

The electric trailer brakes only work intermittently. This results in dangerous situations where they fail without warning. An update was made in 2022 but failed to fix the issue. I have been on forums where many others are still having issues just like mine. It's very dangerous and needs to be addressed.
