I brought my 2022 F-250 in to Tasca Ford in Seekonk, MA in July 2024 because the camera system was malfunctioning. It would sometimes freeze, or certain cameras would work and others wouldn't, or sometimes choosing a different camera would do nothing and the current camera would stay on the screen and never leave. Sometimes the camera would be a little distorted. Obviously unreliable cameras are annoying, but this can also be dangerous. And sometimes the cameras all worked fine! Tasca replaced a wiring harness and it was covered under warranty. In April 2025, I took the truck back in to Tasca as the camera problems were happening again. Same symptoms as before. They said the fix is to replace the APIM(?) image processing module, and that it would cost $3000 and that I was 6 months out of warranty. They submitted a request to Ford to cover this as a pre-existing condition and it was denied. I contacted Ford today because of the recall "25S49" which covers similar trucks, but not 2022 F-250's. I explained to Ford that my truck is having the exact same symptoms described in the recall. I asked them to extend the recall to my truck. They said they can't do that, and that I should contact NHTSA.

Ford has issued a number of recalls for issues on Ford F-Super Duty (F-250) with rearview cameras in their vehicles. I am also experiencing the same issues with my 2016 Ford F-Super Duty (F-250) rearview camera that displays a blank or distorted image causing no visibility while backing up, increasing my risk of a crash. The issue, Covington Ford Inc., Service Department located at 9101 Dr Martin Luther King Ave, Covington, GA 30014 (770-786-3432) explained to me is that it is caused by a loss of electrical conductivity due to fretting corrosion on the terminal header connector inside the camera and misalignment of the connectors. I am also experiencing a full black image on the SYNC screen when placed in reverse or when the 360-degree view is selected as well. Diagnostics were completed 5/21/2025 costing me $150.00. Proof of diagnostics cost can be provided upon request. Covington Ford Inc. indicated I would need a new camera installed at a charge of $727.24 + tax not including the cost of the diagnostics. Estimated total cost of repairs including diagnostic charge would be $877.24 + tax. In addition to being a safety hazard, I use this vehicle to back up to and connect to trailers necessary for my income and need to have this repair completed.

When shifting into drive the truck will lurch forward, a very hard shift. It also does the same thing in reverse. Several times the if my foot was not pressing very hard on the brake when shifting into drive or reverse the truck would lurch forward several feet. It there was an obstruction or person in front of the truck it would have put them at risk of being hit. While driving on cruise control it is very slow to shift and will skip multiple gears when shifting down when going up a hill. Sometimes also going downhill. This can cause the truck to slow down rapidly without a brake indicator which could cause a rear end collision if there is someone following closely. The truck is only 4.5yrs old and has 60,597miles. Symptoms started about 3-4months earlier when truck was well under 60,000 miles however I was unable to get it to the dealer until 60,597 which puts the truck out of warranty. The dealer was able to reproduce the issues and performed a code reset as well as a reprogram and the issue was not resolved. Dealer tore down the transmission and said one of the clutch packs in the transmission has failed along with several other parts. It is now requiring a full rebuild or replacement. There were no warning lights, alarms or messages. Date below is approximately when symptoms started occurring. I do not yet have my vehicle back so do not have the full report from the dealer. I will submit when I receive my vehicle back.

Nox sensor failure at 43,000 miles. Eventually leads to loss of power and idle only operation of the vehicle. Looking online shows that these fail constantly, many many reports. Same issues with other makes. Mercedes for instance has increased coverage to 15 years or 150,000 miles on their diesels.

I have a 2017 F250 super duty. It downshifts from 5th to 4th so hard that it has locked the rear tires up for a brief second. Twice I have had cars behind me swerve. I spoke with my local dealership and they informed me that this is a common issue with these trucks normally caused by the transmission drum, valve body and/or solenoids. There were no warnings before this started and it's worse when the transmission is cold. As the transmission gets hotter the issue seems to get better but will suddenly hard downshift without warning.

When you start engine, and it's below normal temp, the engine maintains a high idle rpm and upon shifting to fwd or reverse the truck overpowers the brakes and accelerates rapidly. In reverse it's startling. It's unsafe in parking lots and on street parking.
