I bought this F150 2 days ago, Vehicle drove fine in the morning to work after work I started the truck and could not get it to go into any gear the lever was stuck in park. My model has the fold flat shifter and I keep the shifter folded all the way down when It is parked. It took approximately 30 minutes of turning the truck on and off, opening the door after each power cycle and folding the shifter up and down before finally it would switch into gear.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
APIM (SYNC4) went out and does not work. The APIM controls most functions in the truck. I do not have a working display screen, cannot charge phone, cannot use any of the features I paid to use, no back up camera, and no radio. The trucks user/owners manual is also apart of the APIM (SYNC4) system. Nothing connected with the APIM works. I have waited over 1 month for replacement APIM and Ford has still not sent a replacement. I believe this is happening with new Ford Broncos using the same APIM (SYNC4). There are tons of Ford owner forums complaining about this same issue. I believe Ford and Ford Service is hiding this problem. My Ford Service records shows "Services Performed" as "Unknown."

Pushed washer fluid button in. Washer fluid came out but wipers did not engage like required. Tried turning wipers on in all positions got nothing. When left in on position wipers move in half inch increments but no more than 3” from home position. Took to local repair center but they cannot get new one. I’m aware of 2021 F150 doing same thing which there is a recall. Not sure what to do. Still driving car without proper safety equipment l

This vehicle has a Powerboost Engine which is a Hybrid with a High-Voltage Battery Pack. This Battery Pack has a very sophisticated heating and cooling system which is part of the engine cooling system. A part of this cooling system is an Exhaust Heat Exchanger. It is Ford Part Number: ML3Z5A212W. This part is frequently failing causing a loss of coolant. This failure could cause engine failure and/or High Voltage Battery Pack failure.

1. Transmission. Stays in higher gears at stops. When starting out it barely moves in response to gas pedal increase. At about 3,000 RPMs it engages and jerks violently ahead. After this happened several times I noticed the transmission gear light was in a higher gear at stop, like 7th gear. Therefore the motor had to rev up to 7th gear speed before it would move adequately. Has to be hard on the transmission when this happens, also embarrassing and very dangerous should you have to cross a busy roadway quickly. It also downshifts suddenly all the way from a high gear to 1st when slowing for an intersection at about 30 MPH. This produces a severe jerk, like slamming on the brakes and a very loud clunk. These conditions occur randomly but when they do occur, they often happen several times in a row then might not happen for a week. There are 1585 miles on the truck. The dealer has had it for 4 days, verdict nothing wrong! The problem described by me and the listed customers does not throw a code. Why do they need one or have it duplicate the problem when they drive it. That could take forever, meanwhile the poor customer has an unsafe truck with no confidence to use it. I am filing a complaint higher up in Ford and to the official National Highway Traffic Safety site. If this continues I will consider a Lemon Law suit and buy another Chevy.

3 weeks after purchasing my truck, I tried to turn on the windshield wipers and they did not work. Later that day I tried again and they worked. Fast forward 3 more weeks and now they do not work at all for. Sometimes I can spray windshield wiper fluid but it will not wipe. Other times spraying doesn’t work neither does the wipers. Been 2 days now. Appointment next week.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Truck check engine light came on and started to blink. The truck would shake when trying to accelerate. Pulled over, turned truck off and the light went off. When started back up it was gone. A few days later the truck did the same thing, but the light did not go off. It remained on, when accelerating the truck began to shake. When I took to the dealer, they mentioned they this truck had a check engine light on when they received, they replaced the ignition coils (under warranty) before purchasing. It’s believed the coils may have gone again. The truck is currently at the dealers getting repaired. For a brand new truck, the coils have already needed to be replaced by dealer.
