I am the lessee of a 2024 Ford F‑150 Lightning XLT, VIN [Insert VIN], and I am submitting this description due to repeated failures, recalls, and safety-related defects that have significantly impacted the safe operation, reliability, and value of my vehicle. Since taking delivery, the vehicle has experienced multiple malfunctions in critical systems that have been confirmed by the dealership and addressed through official recalls, yet problems persist. The primary components affected include the park pawl/park position system, which has intermittently failed to reliably lock the vehicle in park, creating a risk of unintentional rolling that endangers my safety, the safety of passengers, and the safety of others in the vicinity. This component is available for inspection upon request at the dealership. The front suspension upper control arm ball joints have also demonstrated premature wear or defects, reducing steering stability, affecting handling, and increasing the risk of loss of control, particularly in turns or under braking. Additionally, the high-voltage battery system has a documented recall due to a manufacturing defect affecting charging safety, posing risks of overheating, electrical hazards, or fire. All these defects have been reproduced or confirmed by the dealer during service visits, and the vehicle has been inspected by certified Ford technicians, with repair attempts documented in service records. Warning indicators and messages appeared prior to failures, including park and transmission warnings first noticed on [Insert Date] and battery system warnings appearing on [Insert Date]. Other symptoms included abnormal noises and handling issues linked to the front suspension, first observed on [Insert Date]. Despite following all recommended repair procedures, these defects have persisted, indicating a systemic problem likely rooted in manufacturer design or component failure. The vehicle has experienced repeated service downtime, inconvenience, loss

The contact owns a 2024 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at 30 MPH, there was a strong vibration coming from the vehicle while decelerating from 30 MPH to 20 MPH. The contact stated that the failure was previously repaired but reoccurred and became worsened. The vehicle remained at the dealer for two weeks, and the contact was informed that the part was unavailable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 7,500.

The digital dash cluster will randomly blank out while driving. After it sits for aboutba few hrs parked, it will turn back on just to repeat it down the road again. I tried bring it up with the dealership a few times and I was told they aren't able to replicate the issue and it's within factory spec. This is extremely dangerous since this creates issues of not knowing how fast the vehicle is going, and no indicators of what the truck is doing.

I was involved in a rear end collision where I was at fault. I suspect the ADAS in my 2024 F-150 malfunctioned because it did not prevent the collision. I impacted the rear of a minivan at approximately 20 mph. The ADAS did not take evasive action. Previously I have had nuisance activations of the visual and aural warnings for the pre-collision system, followed by a warning message that radar guided cruise control was not available.

Recalls: First notice August 2025; second notice Recall #25V512 dated March 2026.The wheel and hub bolt in the rear end may become loose or break. Continued driving with a broken bolt may lead to wear within the axle and damage the axle hub splines. Vehicles with damaged axle hub splines may roll in Park without the parking brake applied, or, alternatively, loss motive power or both of which can increase the risk of a crash. Complaint: I have several unresolved recalls on my vehicle but am concerned about two open safety recalls on my 2024 F‑150. I received the first recall notice in August 2025 and the second (25V512) in March 2026. My dealer, Scenic Ford in Mount Airy, NC, told me they do not have the parts and cannot get them. On September 17, 2025, I contacted Ford directly and was told the recall would be elevated to an emergency order and parts would be shipped. As of today 03/24/2026, the dealer still has no parts, and Ford has not provided a repair date. I contacted Ford Consumer Care and was told that they do not have parts. The safety recall states that the parts are now available. The rear‑end noise is getting worse, indicating the defect is progressing. I am concerned the vehicle may become unsafe to drive. I have owned Fords since 1967 and have never experienced this level of delay on a safety recall. I am writing to document that Ford cannot give me a date to fix my F-150 and has told me to continue to drive my 2024 F-150 and will not give me a replacement vehicle to use until mine can be repaired. In case the rear end locks up and causes a major accident this is documentation that Ford has refused to fix or replace my defective 2024 F-150 or to supply a replacement vehicle.

Truck alerts will not "shut up." "HOLD STEERING WHEEL ! PAY ATTENTION ! all while I am holding the steering wheel / paying attention. Turning the wheel (from edge of lane to edge of lane) won't stop it. Accelerating didn't stop it. Then truck taps brakes hard, then puts on flashers, then slows down to ZERO mph. Doesn't matter if you have a "Blue Cruise" subscription or not. Get the bogus alerts either way. The Blue Cruise v1.2 is horrible. The local Ford dealer owner and the service manager have had the EXACT same issue in other vehicles (and my truck). One suggestion was to "just turn off the tech" (the safety features I paid for and want) so I don't get the alerts. That's not a "fix." Some people are putting ankle weights on their wheel to stop the alerts. This is a widely known issue. I have asked to speak with a Ford "corporate engineer" on this. DENIED. Send separate certified letters to the CEOs of both Ford and Lincoln about this. Response? NO RESPONSE. Local dealer has helped as much as they could. They recognize the issues, can replicate the issues, but say they have no fix for it. It's also same issue on 2025 Lincoln Aviator (have a friend with same complaints) and the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus (my wife bought one...same issues, Lincoln dealer, same owner as my local Ford dealer, could not fix, and Lincoln bought it back). PLEASE CALL ME at [XXX] to discuss. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Rear axle nut recall 25S82 September ‘25. My dealer inspected my truck, assured me it was needed but repeated requests since then “no parts available”. I’m seriously concerned and reluctant to drive on extended trips.

Have had the truck for 11 months (since new) I have never had the issue. The display (for radio, navigation etc.) just started switching to a different screen. I was using the navigation and the screen switched to display radio information without being touched. When I switched to Google Maps from car play. The map just froze up and would not unfreeze until I turned off the truck and restarted. Had I been going somewhere and was depending on the navigation system. I could have been in a situation that could have caused an accident. Ford engineers are saying this is normal!

Three incidents happened with this vehicle. When I put the car on reverse and reversed and stopped, the gear was then put on drive and before the accelerator was stepped on the vehicle propelled itself at a very high speed and I had to emergently step on the brakes before it hit anything. The the front collision warning did not come on and the vehicle did not brake on its own. The same thing happened in our driveway and before we could apply the brakes the vehicle crashed into a tree. This time also the front collision warning did not come on and the vehicle did not brake and went and hit a tree. There was a video that captured this incident and was shown to our Ford dealership and they did not do anything about it. We told them that the vehicle accelerates by itself and is a safety hazard. Since this did not involve any other vehicle or pedestrian the hazard was limited only to ourselves, The insurance was charged more than $10,000 to fix the damages and we also had to pay a deductible of $1000. More importantly we are unaware if this has been reported by others and can cause serious injuries to the driver, occupants of the vehicle and other who may be involved inadvertenly. Any death caused will become the responsibility of the driver even though this was not the mistake of the driver.

While I was driving, my instrument panel went dark, as if it were turned off. I could no longer see my odometer. Turning the car off and on did not resolve the issue. After the car was off for a half hour or so, the problem was no longer happening. Problem occurred on March 10, 2026. Only happened once so far. Will be taking to dealer for analysis.

See attached document for complaint. The safety recall repair has been pending for over five months due to repeated parts unavailability at the authorized Ford dealership. Despite ongoing communication with the dealer and Ford Motor Company, no repair timeline or resolution has been provided. This prolonged delay involves a safety-related defect and creates an ongoing risk. I respectfully request that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) review Ford Motor Company’s handling of this recall and its compliance with federal recall obligations.

I have 4 of the Nuna revv car seats. 2 of these seats have malfunctioned and are stuck in the forward facing position and Will not rotate once the release handle is pressed. I contacted the manufacturer and they stated the seat is two years old and not covered under warranty. And I have an option to purchase a new seat for 400$. I feel like this is extremely unsafe. My son still rear faces and I was forced to put him forward facing on the drive home.

Vehicle has been inspected by dealer and all I’ve gotten it’s a natural sound. Vehicle has been taken three times for same issue and nothing has been done. No accidents have occurred.

I was in a accident where I was going a okay speed in traffic where suddenly the car in front of me brakes and my emergency brakes did not activate so I had to slam on mines to avoid impact but the car behind me hit me causing me to impact the car in front and with no airbag deployment from impact in back and front. Causing me later with neck and head pain.

Crash

After operating the vehicle normally and backing into a parking space, I stopped the vehicle and selected Park, turned the vehicle off, and exited. Before the driver’s door was closed, the vehicle began to roll forward unexpectedly. I ran back to the vehicle and reentered it to regain control, with the driver’s door still open and the seatbelt not fastened. After stopping the vehicle, I selected Reverse, at which point the vehicle surged backward unexpectedly. The open driver’s door struck another vehicle and the driver, and my vehicle continued backward, colliding with a fence and then a tree. The vehicle did not behave as expected after Park was selected, creating a serious safety risk to myself and others. Several vehicle systems appeared to malfunction or fail during the incident. The specific component or system responsible is not yet known, and the vehicle is currently available for inspection. The incident resulted in property damage and back pain, for which I later sought medical care. The vehicle has been inspected by a collision repair facility and is currently being handled through insurance. The manufacturer has been informed and stated that insurance should make determinations regarding the incident.

While coming into my garage to park, it’s like the truck accelerated which caused damage to the truck and my home.

I purchased this vehicle new 7/31/25. Within the first week of ownership I noticed a noise coming from the rear axle. Brought into Ford dealer for diagnosis at 723 miles: tech notes indicated that the abs tone ring was not manufactured correctly and was hitting the ABS wheel speed sensor. The sensor had visible impact marks. The rear axle assembly was replaced under warranty. The repair took over 10 days. At this point I was concerned about the Q/C and build quality of the vehicle. I asked Ford for an extended warranty as a goodwill gesture, which was denied. This failure was related to a Federally regulated safety system: ABS brakes. ~5 months later on 1/8/26 (12, 336 miles), I attempted to place the vehicle in park using column shifter, a service light came on and the truck was not responding to the shifter input. I turned the truck off with the parking brake engaged, restarted truck and another warning light came on saying place vehicle into park. The truck would not start and I was left stranded without warning. The vehicle was towed to the nearest dealer. Diagnosis revealed the shifter module was faulty and needed to be replaced. Ford had a TSB about this issue. The repair took 7 days. At this point I'm extremely concerned about the reliability of this vehicle. This has been two major failures within less than 6 months of ownership. Ford contacted me asking how my experience was with the vehicle. I informed them I was very disappointed and had safety concerns. I asked for an extended warranty which was denied. I then escalated the ticket to asking for a voluntary buyback from Ford. Ford notified me that I didn't meet the criteria for a voluntary buyback and the claim was denied. Due to the repeated failures I do not feel safe continuing to drive this vehicle and I want Ford to step in and assist with this matter.
