VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING, POWER TRAIN
The fan clutch assembly failed and as a result the drive mode would not change from tow/haul mode to any of the other 4 drive modes. Accelerations and decelerations were negatively affected as a result creating safety hazards when driving. The engine was always responding as if a trailer were attached and subsequently accelerations were difficult and decelerations consistently utilized the trailer engine braking system, similar to semi-trucks utilizing the Jake-Braking systems, This is a significant safety issue and needs to have a recall issued for the replacement of these fan clutch assemblies.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My truck is only 3 years old. However about 3 months ago I noticed my rear view camera quit working. I only get a black or blue screen. Every other camera still works. I know there are over 1 million ford vehicles with this exact same issue that are under a recall. I would like to know why mine is not. I do not think it is fair I have to pay to repair an issue that’s covered by over 1 million other Ford vehicles.

1 month ago my vehicle intermittently would not shut off. You could hit the Start/Stop button and from all dash board appearances the truck was off, but the truck was still running. I resorted to pulling a circuit breaker to get the truck off. I found NHTSA 10226938 and replaced the Battery Junction Box as prescribed. This fixed the vehicle for a few weeks, but now the issue is back. There is no water intrusion in the BSB junction box.

STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
As a Ford owner, I can vividly recall the 1980’s Ford acronym ‘fix or repair daily’. That comes to mind as my 2022 F350 Platinum Dually has been in the shop for one thing or another more times in 3 years than my 2015 Chevy Impala LTZ has in 10 years. But I digress. The reason for this complaint is my latest malfunction on my Ford vehicle. As mentioned previously, it hasn’t been 3 years and yet another issue with my vehicle has come to light. My passenger roof trim has broken at the connection point, which of all things, was connected via rivet…beneath the rear glass. Apparently, this an extremely common issue among 2017 and up Ford Super Duty. There has been no recall issued. And Ford wants the vehicle owners to pay for the repair. It is an absolute horrible design. The plastic breaks often. And to make matters worse, the rear glass had to be removed to replace the trim. Most of the trim snaps in place but the very end, the end that is cheaply made and connected to a metal rivet, is so fragile and thin that after a few months of driving over American bumpy roads and being beating up the Sun, it cracks, breaks lose, sticks up like a sore thumb, and otherwise detracts from the reputation of the Ford Brand. My vehicle is still under the original warranty as I have only 22,240 miles, and I purchased and extended warranty with adds 4 more years. This needs to be remedied and Ford owners need to be compensated for monies spent to repair these manufacturing defects. MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP STATES THAT IF THEY BREAK THE GLASS DURING THE REPAIR THAT THE COST OF THE NEW GLASS IS MY RESPONSIBILITY, EVEN UNDER WARRANTY. That is so very wrong and alarming. The repair is $125, to be completed by an outside vendor. The dealer will not even tackle this repair. THE CONNECTION POINT OF THE ROOF TRIM IS A RIVET. Why? THE CONNECTION POINT OF THE ROOF TRIM IS BENEATH THE REAR GLASS, WHICH HAS TO BE REMOVED INORDER TO REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE ROOF TRIM. Why? Why make

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Was driving at 06:30 in the morning on a multi-lane highway with light rain. Sudden explosion of the forward sunroof panel with glass shattering everywhere. It was a very loud boom that occurred. No other vehicles were close by so this was not a rock thrown. Plus the roof is 7 feet off the ground which makes it very unlikely with no other vehicles close by.

1.Spark Plug Wire Failures: oIncident 1: On December 15, 2024, a spark plug wire failure on cylinder #1 caused a misfire and check engine light (code P0301), reducing engine power while towing a 10,000-pound trailer on I-90. Wendle Ford Spokane repaired it under warranty. oIncident 2: On April 10, 2025, another failure on a different cylinder triggered a misfire and check engine light, requiring a $766 repair (invoice attached). These failures are a known defect in 2020–2022 Super Duty trucks, per owner forums and a 7.3L motorhome Technical Service Bulletin. oSafety Risk: Misfires reduce power and control, endangering occupants and other drivers, especially during heavy towing in winter conditions. 2.Front Differential Failure: oOn April 5, 2025, the front differential failed, disabling 4x4 throughout the 2024–2025 winter. Discovered during a snowstorm on a rural job site, the loss of 4x4 compromised traction and stability, requiring a one-week repair. oSafety Risk: Loss of 4x4 in adverse conditions increases the risk of skidding or stranding, particularly for a heavy-duty truck used in construction.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
my back rear view camera quit working immediately about 4 or 4 weeks ago. I tried to see if I had a loose wire but. One seemed loose or broken. I only have a blue screen. My rear facing camera over the cab stop light works fine if the switch is pushed. Now I have noticed there are thousands of Ford vehicles already recalled for rear camera issues. However when I called my dealership I was told I’m not on the recall list. As far as I can tell it’s because my Ford F350 is a 2022 built in July of 2021. I hate to say it but I believe the recall needs to be expanded. As I’m sure there are a whole lot more vehicles with this rear camera issues. Please take this case into consideration and hopefully get it included in the recall.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
I was driving on [XXX] in St Louis County Missouri during rush hours traffic. I experienced a blow out on my drivers front tire. I was surrounded by lots of heavy traffic from passenger cars to tractor trailer going more than 60 mph. I slowly got to the right shoulder. Modot and the state highway patrol blocked the traffic away from us while AAA changed my tire. After I was ready to leave I noticed my traffic early collision warning, and other safety warning systems were not working now. I also noticed my rear view camera was not operating either. This was the first time I noticed any issue with my safety systems. I got. Ew tires and changed them all 6 out. Still my rear view camera is not operating. I did notice Ford was getting ready to put in a recall for rear view camera for F350’s from 2015 to 2025. I do have a 2022 so I feel I am in the recall. Please let me know if I should go to my dealer for repairs under the recall. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
While driving with the cruise set I wanted to reduce speed and hit the minus speed button on the cruise control which caused the vehicle to speed up which made me hit it quickly a couple more times to slow it down and it responded by speeding up more and led me to slam on the brakes. Luckily no one was in front of me so I didn’t rear end them when it sped up and no one was behind me that could have rear ended me when I slammed on the brakes.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Minor issue started during heavy rain last week, went out in morning and power steps would not function. After starting, the rear sliding window opened and would not shut. Researched solution and reset the steps in the computer. Let truck sit for 5 hours at work (not raining) and apparently circuit dried out and window was able to close. Fast forward to Thursday night (4/1), flood rains had started. On the way home from work, the rear sliding window started opening again by itself, but was able to close it with the switch. It did this several times. Went out to start the truck Friday evening and all i got was flickering lights that dimmed when the start button was pushed. No controls worked. By Saturrday morning, there was no lights or any control. all electronics are non-functional. I checked and the batteries are fully charged, so it is not a battery/alternator problem - I expect water has infiltrated into the electronics/computer. Luckily, this short out did not happen on the whole system while I was driving.
