SUSPENSION
In January I brought my truck into ford to get service on the recall 23S65. Since then the recall has broke and I cannot and haven’t been able to drive my truck since then. It has been at Statesboro ford since then sitting waiting on parts. I am under the understanding that the parts have been on back order since 2024 and it could be a year before I even get my truck back and fixed. Since it’s a safety recall I cannot drive the truck especially that it is broken. I would like some sort of repair or fix to this situation, unfortunately I haven’t gotten anything since January. If the issue is not resolved I will be involving a lawyer.

STEERING, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
I am the lessee of a 2024 Ford F‑150 Lightning XLT, VIN [Insert VIN], and I am submitting this description due to repeated failures, recalls, and safety-related defects that have significantly impacted the safe operation, reliability, and value of my vehicle. Since taking delivery, the vehicle has experienced multiple malfunctions in critical systems that have been confirmed by the dealership and addressed through official recalls, yet problems persist. The primary components affected include the park pawl/park position system, which has intermittently failed to reliably lock the vehicle in park, creating a risk of unintentional rolling that endangers my safety, the safety of passengers, and the safety of others in the vicinity. This component is available for inspection upon request at the dealership. The front suspension upper control arm ball joints have also demonstrated premature wear or defects, reducing steering stability, affecting handling, and increasing the risk of loss of control, particularly in turns or under braking. Additionally, the high-voltage battery system has a documented recall due to a manufacturing defect affecting charging safety, posing risks of overheating, electrical hazards, or fire. All these defects have been reproduced or confirmed by the dealer during service visits, and the vehicle has been inspected by certified Ford technicians, with repair attempts documented in service records. Warning indicators and messages appeared prior to failures, including park and transmission warnings first noticed on [Insert Date] and battery system warnings appearing on [Insert Date]. Other symptoms included abnormal noises and handling issues linked to the front suspension, first observed on [Insert Date]. Despite following all recommended repair procedures, these defects have persisted, indicating a systemic problem likely rooted in manufacturer design or component failure. The vehicle has experienced repeated service downtime, inconvenience, loss

POWER TRAIN
While driving at highway speed, in traffic, the transmission down-shifted without warning almost causing me to lose control and almost rear ended by another vehicle. The vehicle then lost power and would barely make it uphill. After parking safely and shutting it off, the check engine light came on and it would not crank and would not show what gear it was in. According to the Ford dealer, where I had it towed for repair, it suffered a lead frame failure and pcm failure and cost over $2300.00 to repair plus a $240.00 tow bill.

SERVICE BRAKES
Truck was repaired under recall 20S31 to repair the master cylinder issue in November 2020. Just the other day the master cylinder went out again and my brakes went out while driving. There clearly was an inadequate repair and Ford so far is not open to covering the expensive repair costs to this critical safety issue.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
My truck because of the transmission and it's "powertrain" faults; puts itself in low power mode. I can be driving fine, stop for a red light, to turn a corner or before pulling into oncoming traffic leaving a parking lot etc and without warning, no power. It won't go over 5-10 miles an hour. You have to let off the gas and give gas sometimes more than once to get the truck to finally pick up and go. I have almost been hit countless times because I suddenly couldn't get out of the way of oncoming traffic. The dealer has confirmd to me a few times that this is a transmission issue that is sending my powerboost into low power mode. I believe he said the tech that drove it said it was dangerous; but a known issue. Started a few years ago and doesn't happen all the time. Occurs sporadically and lately more and more frequently.
