EXTERIOR LIGHTING, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
Rear Taillight assembly filled with water due to a crack. The water caused the bulb to burn out. Dealer tried to get Ford to cover the taillamp and the manufacturer denied the claim stating the crack was not a flaw in manufacturing. The dealer also said that they have seen several of these where the manufacturer wont cover this component under the bumper to bumper warranty. This assembly has never been tampered with, the truck has not been in an accident. The failure of this taillight is likely caused by over torqueing at ASSY at the plant. Besides being costly this is a safety hazard when brake lights and taillights fail. Also..this assembly I find out houses the module for the blind spot monitor.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The hybrid battery in a 2021 Ford F-150 Powerboost failed due to apparent shorting. (P/N ML3Z-10B690-D) Pictures were taken by service department at the Ford dealership, and can be provided upon request. There is concern that the system could catch fire and spread under the vehicle. There have been other similarly identified failures reported in online communities, but cannot verify the information. Failed component is currently with dealership service department, therefore, cannot verify if there has been further inspection of part. Prior to failure, there were no indicators of problems or faults. As the failed part is not easily accessible and there is no routine maintenance, there is no way to validate when the part failed.

POWER TRAIN
My 2018 f150 has a 10r80 transmission. I was driving through heavy traffic on US Route 93 southbound, moving at about 60MPH when the transmission suddenly lost all power. Because there was no left-side shoulder (I was in the left lane), I needed to throw on my hazard lights and make my way to the right shoulder across 4-lanes of traffic. Multiple near collisions as I had no propulsion to do this.
