UNKNOWN OR OTHER
We were driving down the road, hit a normal bump outside our neighborhood (one we go over all the time) and the rear window glass went bang. Looking through the rear view mirror, I saw that the entire window was cracked (like a spider web). The window remained intact the redt of the drive home. When we arrived home, we got out of the car, and closed the doors, which caused the window to blow out all over the driveway and tonneau cover. There was no physical damage before hand. Ford is refusing to cover this issue under warranty, even though it was a non-impact glass break, caused either by either the vehicle body twisting just enough or thermal resistance issue with the defroster (it was not on at the time).

POWER TRAIN
The vehicle was previously taken to an authorized Ford dealership to complete Safety Recall 26S28 (NHTSA Campaign 26V237000) for unintended transmission downshifts. The dealer applied the mandated software patch. However, this safety remedy has completely failed. While driving at highway speeds, the vehicle experienced severe mechanical gear grinding and twice suffered sudden, unprompted downshifts into a lower gear. This caused an immediate and dangerous spike in engine RPMs and a sudden deceleration, creating a high-risk highway crash hazard and a potential loss of vehicle control. The physical hardware defect (the molded transmission lead frame) is actively failing and bypassing the software safeguard. The authorized dealer, Nielsen Ford of Morristown, is currently refusing to replace the defective hardware under the safety mandate without a permanent dashboard code, despite the vehicle displaying clear, dangerous physical symptoms of a failed recall remedy.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I own a 2021 Ford F-150, VIN [XXX]. NHTSA recall 25V455 / Ford recall 25S75 affects my vehicle because of a potential fuel-pump failure that can cause loss of fuel pressure and an engine stall while driving. The recall was issued XXX, and my vehicle still shows an unrepaired recall with the remedy not yet available. I am concerned about the length of time that has passed without a repair being available for a safety-related defect that could cause the engine to stall while driving. I am requesting that NHTSA review the continued delay in providing a remedy. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

STEERING, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
My 2021 F-150 has been diagnosed with a failed electric steering gear Code PSCM C1B00 49 2F. I understand there was a recall on some 2021 trucks with similar steering issues, although my VIN is not included. The part is on national backorder and my dealer says there are approximately 150 vehicles ahead of mine. This is a safety-related steering component, part number "ML3Z3504G"

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
My truck was parked on a slight slope in my driveway. I got in to move the truck to my normal parking space. When I started the truck I noticed the emergency brake was on. I put the truck into drive- the truck accelerated with my foot on the brake. The truck struck the corner of my deck and didn't stop until I hit the corner at my house. I had the brake pushed to the firewall and the truck would kept accelerating. Thankfully the airbags did not deploy. Significant damage was done to my house and my truck.

SERVICE BRAKES
I was in my driveway getting ready to service the truck. After depressing the break pedal about half way, I lost break pressure. Upon inspection, the front passenger side breaks had a major leak/failure. The entire inside of the front passenger wheel as sprayed with break fluid. This indicates that the line failed under pressure and had and explosive release of fluid. Upon further inspection the line failed at the hard metal fitting leading to the hard metal break lines. In one of the pictures provided I am pointing at the exact point of failure. This is similar to other reported failures: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

POWER TRAIN
My 2017 Ford F-150 equipped with the 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission experiences repeated harsh and unpredictable shifting. The transmission will hesitate or delay during shifts and then engage very hard, sometimes producing a severe bang or jolt through the truck. It also experiences abnormal gear hunting and inconsistent shifting behavior. These symptoms can occur during normal driving and create a safety concern because the transmission does not always respond predictably to driver input. Ford has issued technical service bulletins addressing harsh engagement, delayed engagement, harsh shifting, and delayed shifting on 2017-2020 F-150 vehicles equipped with the 10R80 transmission. My vehicle is experiencing these same types of symptoms. I am reporting this because I believe the 10R80 transmission in affected 2017 F-150 vehicles should be investigated for a potential safety defect.

POWER TRAIN
The transmission started to clunk into gear very heavily when I started my drive and then as I was driving down the highway going 60mph, the 10r80 transmission suddenly downshifted from 7th gear to 1st gear, and jolted the truck and I lost all power and it took around 5-7 seconds before the throttle was registering again to pick up speed. A car was a ways behind me but if it had been closer, there is no doubt I would have likely been hit. After this happened, in trying to increase speed back to the speed limit, the transmission would not shift back into 7th gear, and a wrench and code popped up on the dash.

I have been trying to get this recall resolved. This truck was at the Metro Ford dealership in Tupelo, Mississippi for over one week in July 2026. Replacement parts sent to dealership were also recalled. Dealership ended up placing original part back on the truck. How can this issue be resolved?

STEERING
My vehicle was left rendered unable to steer during use. It was taken to a local shop All Japanse Auto, who found the damage was consistent with Ford Saftey Recall 21S28. Upon speaking to AutoFair Ford of Haverhill service they informed me Ford did not include my truck in the recall despite it matching year and model and they would not be addressing the issue for me. Loss of steering mid use is amazingly careless and should be cause for taking more aggressive action

POWER TRAIN
Component: Power Train / Automatic Transmission (6R80 6-Speed) Description of Incident & Safety Hazard: My 2015 F-150 suddenly lost the ability to shift through its full range of gears and became completely locked between 3rd and 5th gears while driving. This sudden loss of power and gear range in active traffic created an immediate rear-end collision hazard. The vehicle threw diagnostic trouble codes P0720 (Output Shaft Speed Sensor) and P0722 (Output Shaft Speed Sensor No Signal). I have photographic proof of these active codes. The Safety Recall Loophole: I brought the truck to a Ford dealership for safety recall 26S28. However, the dealer only performed a PCM software update and did not replace the physical molded leadframe. Because safety recall 26S28 strictly excludes codes P0720 and P0722 from its replacement criteria, the dealer is completely unauthorized to replace the physical leadframe under this safety campaign, regardless of whether the codes are active. Inexplicably, Ford covers codes P0720 and P0722 under safety recall 24S37 (for older models), but forces 2015 owners with the exact same codes to rely on a non-safety Customer Satisfaction Program (26N04) which carries strict time/mileage limits. This is a dangerous technical loophole. A software patch on a vehicle with a physically failing speed sensor is a temporary band-aid, not a permanent safety fix. The physical leadframe is still defective and will fail again, presenting a continuous safety hazard. Ford must expand safety recall 26S28 to mandate the physical replacement of the molded leadframe for all vehicles presenting with leadframe-related codes, including P0720 and P0722. The vehicle is currently available for inspection.

The contact stated that an engineer was sent from the dealer to the residence and the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V237000 (Power Train); however, after the recall repair, the message that the top speed of the vehicle was limited to 80 MPH was displayed. Additionally, the transmission was shifting roughly while shifting gears. The contact stated that the failure started after the recall repair was performed. The dealer was contacted after the recall repair due to the failure but stated that over time the transmission would shift better. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.
