STEERING
I had several instances where my electronic power assist steering (EPAS) has failed resulting in advance trac and other errorson my information screen.This has resulted in effectively NO steering. Thank goodness I was in a parking lot or going slow otherwise may have resulted in severe injury or death. This appears to be a problem with my make and model of truck based on what I have read on the internet and my personal experiences. I am in shock that there has not been a proper recall as of this date. I am having dealer put in a second EPAS unit in less than 2 years and considerable cost to me.

POWER TRAIN
Transmission had a huge delay when trying to shift into 4th gear. Was trying to pull out and was almost hit by traffic because the truck would not accelerate. The truck cut power and took 5 seconds before it would shift into the next gear. This is a known issue with the CDF drum in the transmission, it is a design flaw and ford knows about this issue. This is absolutely dangerous and needs to be recalled.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Ford is aware of an issue on the 2023 Ford F150 with Pro Power Inverter. When the inverter turns on, the RF frequency emitted blocks the tire pressure sensors from sending their signal creating a fault. Dealers are recommending that owners replace their sensors rather than performing the fix. In many cases the vehicle is now out of warranty requiring customer to pay for the fix.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
My F150 constantly needs oil and seems to lag when the oil tank is low. 163000km on the engine. I've heard other 2019 f150 drivers have the same problem. It also has a hard shift after sitting for the night, it will drop gears while going uphill which seems to be from third gear to fourth but instead drops to 3rd again creating a clunk noise. It hasn't caused an accident or anything yet but from my last truck this thing definitely was not built the way it should have been. I think Ford needs to have a serious look at these trucks before someone gets hurt.

No impact whatsoever occurred prior to the explosion, I just heard a loud boom, and glass started raining onto my sunroof liner.

POWER TRAIN
Last Monday, I was driving [XXX] near Jacksonville, Fl. While in an outer lane the truck pulled to the right during rain, not like a hydroplaning. I could not regain control and hit a barrier. Airbags deployed. After, I got out saw the rear passenger tire was somehow off. When PSA arrive they found it ~200 feet down the road. It had snapped off. Complete break at the axle hub. Given the recall issued on 2023-2025 models I thought I should report this. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
