SERVICE BRAKES
Received a recall statement for the brake system master cylinder. Called Bowen Scarff Ford Dealership and made an appointment to have it repaired, and then they called and cancelled the appointment stating the part was on backorder with an indefinite timeline for availability. I asked them to open a repair order today 4/3/26 so it’s documented I tried and they told me “you are on the list”. The dealership also stated if the vehicle stated having brake issues, that we could bring it in for service but that we would be charged. No service number for the created and unresolved ticket was provided to me from the dealership. I then called Ford Customer Servive about the recall timeline, which again had an indefinite date and no other information to provide. I was told the vehicle was safe to drive, and to just wait. I expressed concern that my [XXX] son drives this vehicle, and the Ford representative told me to stop driving the vehicle if we experience: -An audible chime -A message center alert -The red brake warning indicator lights up I was provided a case number from Ford on 4/3/24 #CXH07558665 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I was on the freeway in eastern Colorado going 75mph which is the speed limit. Luckily nobody was behind me. My truck went from 6th gear to 1st out of nowhere and I didn't know what to do, very fast deceleration and I almost lost control. I was able to manually shift with the buttons on the gear shifter back up to 6th gear. Recently on the freeway it's been acting awkward and not shifting out of 4th gear.

It seems when the truck has been driven more than an a half hour to an hour and you shut the truck off the truck won't start back up. I believe the starter gets what they call heat soaked, then you have to wait until the truck cools down then I will start normal

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I contacted the local ford dealer, Seekins in Fairbanks Alaska. The dealership wanted to make an appointment to address the recalls next DECEMBER -- this April 2026. What's the point of a safety recall if they won't timely address them?

POWER TRAIN
2 years ago i replaced my valve body in my 6r80 transmission due to constant down shifts to first gear at 45 miles an hour and rear wheel lock up with no codes shown. Replacing that part fixed my issue up until today, 2 April 2026, as i was driving to work today and the same thing happened again. Approximately 45 MPH my transmission downshifted to first gear, violently rev'd my engine to 6500 RPMS and locked my rear wheels briefly.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The truck had been parked in our driveway for approximately 24 hrs when my wife went to the drivers side door to retrieve something that she had left in the center console. After she retrieved what she was looking for she pushed the door closed and the rear window spontaneously and completely shattered. There had been no prior damage whatsoever. The vehicle was towed to our Ford dealership on March 17th. The service manager at our dealership submitted our warranty claim to Ford and then informed us ~36 hrs later that Ford had not issued any TSBs or SSMs for the 2024 rear window or related parts / functions and therefore would decline to repair the rear window. We have asked them to resubmit the claim because we were not satisfied with Ford declining it. It is now April 2nd and we still have not heard back.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
While driving my 2021 Ford F-150, the vehicle suddenly began shaking, lost power, and shut off completely while in motion. This created a dangerous situation as I was left without acceleration while driving. Prior to the failure, there were no major issues with the vehicle. After the engine shut off, a battery warning appeared, but the battery had been in good condition and less than a year old. The vehicle would not restart and had to be towed to a Ford dealership, where it has remained for over two weeks. Independent mechanics and the dealership have both indicated the issue is related to the fuel system. I later discovered this matches an active recall for the low-pressure fuel pump. Despite this, I was informed there is currently no remedy available for the recall. The vehicle is still at the dealership and has not been repaired. I have not been provided with a loaner or rental vehicle and have been left without transportation for work or to care for my children. I have also been asked to pay out of pocket for towing and battery replacement, even though the failure appears to be related to a known recall issue.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
As I went to reverse to pull out of a parking area, the truck accelerated, I applied the brakes and the truck continued going dragging the front tires at one point. I decided at the last min to attempt to put the truck in neutral or park and at that time it was stopped between two trees. This could of been very bad if my kids were in the yard playing or many other scenarios. The 2024 F150 is still at the dealership waiting on approval to do body work. We have requested they run diagnostics or telemetry on the trucks systems to verify the problem but after a month that has not been done yet.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Instrument cluster has started to flicker when driving. Have had incidents where instrument cluster freezes while driving and a blank black screen when first starting. Whenever the screen freezes or turns black, turning the vehicle off and on again fixes the issue. It seems that the flickering is intermittent. Has recently become more frequent and why I wanted the dealership to take a look. They're now asking for video proof. As soon as I have that I'm going to return to dealership. I'm making this complaint because it seems to be a well-known issue with no fix in most cases. My dealership has contacted Ford engineering and they have asked for video proof.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Several times, the vehicle has failed to accelerate or respond to accellerator pedal input for several seconds. It seems to happen when switching from electric to hybrid modes, and when shifting between lower gears simultaneously. Once the switch to hybrid occurs the engine will rev high with some acceleration even if the accelerator pedal is no longer being pressed. This acceleration has happened when I had my foot over the brake pedal in anticipation of pulling over to stop since the truck would not accelerate. There are no warning lights or messages that appear on the vehicle. It is dangerous because it seems to happen when trying to accelerate from a lower speed. If it happens when trying to change lanes in stop and go traffic or while pulling into traffic other cars would have to brake hard to avoid hitting our vehicle that has experienced stalled acceleration. It is also dangerous because once the transition happens there is brief uncommanded acceleration.
