The contact owns a 2021 Ford F-150. The contact stated while he was in a pharmacy drive-through, the vehicle accelerated independently. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated he was depressing the brake pedal to the floorboard but failed to stop the vehicle from driving over the landscape of the pharmacy and over a boulder. The contact stated the vehicle continued moving forward for half a block until he was able to regain control of the vehicle by pumping on the brake pedal. The contact stated he was able to make a left turn at a near urgent care parking lot and park the vehicle. The contact stated the front passenger hit her head and right shoulder on the front passenger door due to the seat belt not retracting and sought medical attention at the emergency room. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact towed the vehicle to a local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 4,133.

After driving the vehicle for 14,000 miles I was traveling out of state when my wife and I discovered that the passenger seat belt was not anchored to the floor. When we arrived home there was a recall notification in our mail. I immediately went to Serramonte Ford in Colma, CA and scheduled the required inspection for November 1. They assured me that any necessary repair would be done at that time. Later that day they called and told me that I needed a new part but they were required to order it from a special source because it was a recall item. (What)! They called two weeks later and advised that the part arrived and I made an appointment for November 16 and dropped the vehicle off. Later that day they called and told me that they needed a gasket so the repair couldn’t be done. I picked up the vehicle and they told me they would call me to reschedule the repair. It is now January 2022 and I have been driving this vehicle for eleven months without a seatbelt. They can’t tell me when to expect the repair.

Cluster will randomly shut off causing all gauges to act like the vehicle isn't on. Then it will turn back on. I notice that transmission temp gauge will be the only gauge that wouldn't go back to normal. It will take several minutes for gauge to reset. The risk is not knowing your speed and causing a distraction to what is happening while driving. No dealer could redo the problem.

The Pro Trailer Assist program won't load or work along with constant electrical lamp fault messages when trailering my boat. This is a safety concern because you can't tell if the trailer lights are really working or not while driving. I also experience the turn signals blinking really fast like a bulb is out - when none are actually out. The local dealer's electrical technician has reproduced and confirmed my issues. The manufacturer is aware of my problem and is currently offering to put me in a 2022 truck that will be built in February. The Pro Trailer Assist program never would load or work from day one. The electrical lamp fault messages started as soon as I trailered my boat. All the lamp fault messages and fast blinking turn signals only happen while trailering my boat. The local dealer had my new truck forty days and replaced the APIM Module twice with no success. Mileage then (328), mileage now 1,255.

Transmission is shifting very hard at different times, points, speeds, up shifting and down shifting. It jerks so hard at different times that my wife’s neck was sore, the dealer is taking 3 weeks before they will look at it!

After connecting my boat trailer, I had ZERO trailer brakes. The lights all worked, brake, running, signal-but no trailer brakes. I turned the integrated trailer brake gain to the highest setting-still zero trailer brakes.

The contact owns a 2021 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 MPH, the transmission suddenly shifted to neutral and the vehicle would no longer accelerate. The vehicle began to roll forward and rolled off the road. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the transmission and transfer case had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 2,000.

The standard trailer brake controller does not function. I have tried it on 2 known trailers that function with other trucks and this truck's does not work.

The contact owns a 2021 Ford F-150 equipped with Pirelli Tires, Tire Line: Scorpion: Tire Size: 265/70/R17. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH, the low tire pressure warning light illuminated. The contact had pulled over to the side of the road and noticed that the driver’s side front tire was flat. The contact placed the spare tire on the vehicle and continued driving to his residence. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who inspected the vehicle and the tire and diagnosed the failure as a split in the middle of the tire. The mechanic replaced all 4 tires on the vehicle. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage on the vehicle and tire was approximately 4,000. Vehicle has been repaired.
