ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Good afternoon, 1.5 weeks ago, we had 4 serious issues that our Ford F250 Truck from 2017 with 55.000 miles on stalled during driving almost causing an accident because the steering system was not supporting anymore. We stopped the vehicle on the side of the road, yellow engine light came on with the fault message “All sensor” (attached). After several times cycling the ignition the Diesel engine started up with the yellow engine light on. This happened 4x. Luckily, we made it home. The next day the truck did not show any ignition neither did the engine start. I checked the battery power which was 12.8V and found a loose minus bar connection beside the positive bar beside the battery junction box. I thought I found the root cause, installed the missing nut but nothing changed. We had to organize a tow truck for 160US$ transferring the vehicle to the Ford Dealer Mall of Georgia in Buford after confirming an appointment for Monday [XXX], 2024, [XXX]. We confirmed the complaint with a Ford Service technician name Scott Tackabury, left the keys under the assumption that Ford will investigate the root cause. Since this is our only vehicle, we had to take a rental car due to business obligations. Unfortunately, the truck got not inspected until [XXX], 2024. WE had to call several times to get an update and were told that “… it is like a doctor appointment… ur in line”!!?? Again [XXX] 2024, we did not receive a call, we had to call to see what’s going on. Investigation result: -IDS test found the following DTC’s: oP064A, P027A, P0087, P008A -Diag. DTC: P027A found Pin 25 in connector C1035A melted causing poor connection for the fuel pump control module circuit (see attachments) -DTC P064A Fuel pump control module internal fault Remedy: -Replace the Battery Junction Box -Repair the wiring -Replace the fuel pump control module INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

STEERING
My truck experienced death wobble during a recent trip multiple times on the interstate on our way home. With no warning, the truck started shaking violently at 70 mph. I had to immediately slow down in traffic and work my way over to the right lane. We stopped to confirm there was no tire issue or other notable visual problem before proceeding. It occurred again shortly after stopping and I had to do the same thing. We stopped again and found no visible issue, so we continued at a much slower pace. The truck wobbled a few more times but not as violently as the first two. There were no warning lights displayed.

POWER TRAIN
I placed my truck in Park, exited the vehicle to assist my daughter to the truck. As we approached the front of the truck - the truck started Rolling forward. I tried to enter the driver side door to stop the vehicle but realized my truck was going to collide with the vehicle next to it and I tried to clear my body of the two vehicles. I was caught between the two vehicles near the rear driver side fender and couldn't free myself. My daughter entered the truck from the passenger side and the truck had went from Park to Drive. My daughter put the truck in Park and somehow I was able to free myself. I received injuries to my hip and pelvic area. The entire incident was recorded on a home surveillance system.

STRUCTURE:BODY
With ambient outdoor temperatures below freezing the front right drivers door latch/lock is frozen and not operable during at least the last 5 days. Also, the manual locking mechanism is unable to be pulled to unlocked at it sits flush with the top of door panel leaving the door not operable. It is clearly frozen as the latch/lock starts working after the truck is allowed to warmup after significant run time (usually more than 30 minutes). ***NHTSA something needs to be done with these latches. I previously owned a 2017 Ford F-250 that experienced the same freezing lock/latch issues. Ford supposedly revised the installation and some minor parts for these locks/latches. I cannot fathom how has been allowed to continue and no recall has been issued. DOOR LATCHES KEEP DOORS CLOSED, UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITIONS THE 2017 SUPER DUTY I HAD WOULD NOT ALLOW THE DOORS TO LATCH CLOSED. I fear this will be the same on this truck.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
[XXX] watch?v=4QLrqlCd3c0 * This video is about the South Texas taillight theft rings that local Ford Dealers are aware of and not notifying the customers to protect their property. The Tail lights only take 30 to 45 seconds to steal and cost between $3,500.00 to $4,200.00 to buy plus install and coding. They are in shortage according to local Ford dealer because of the thefts. So, you have to go out to Facebook Market Place and buy your lights back from a host of characters reselling these lights. The consumers are out a lot of money and time dealing with , body shop, insurance company, and a host of characters. It's the next Ford part theft ring that cost folks money they cannot spare ....This is BS Ford Motor and Dealers!!!!!. The thieves easily bypass the alarm because of Ford's design that allows tailgate to be open from inside after easily removing inspection cover (4 screws) and remove the lights in 30 seconds (two screws per tail light). The theft of the Tail Lights makes the truck undriveable. The Ford Light Theft is so bad that there are a shortage of lights and Body Shop long lead-times if you try and order and install through Ford Body Shop. Could be all corrected if factory alarm would go off when tail gate drops after being set and using $10.00 worth of anti theft screws. Ford is not notifying F150/f250 customers when they know this is happening. Cost to consumer $4,500 to $5,000.00 and months of waiting for your truck. The thieves are advertising the lights on Facebook Market Place and E-Bay Motors. * This is a circus that Ford can stop by fixing a alarm system and using anti thief fasteners.

POWER TRAIN
The truck slips out of gear for no reason, suffers very hard shifts causing the truck to jerk, and skips gears making it impossible to drive safely. Also, I lost power on the freeway several times and the truck would up shift and down shift erratically causing issues maintaining speed in traffic. I took the truck to the Ford dealer and was told I needed a new transmission. Ford has issued a recall for the Diesel truck with this transmission but refuses to repair other trucks with the same faulty transmission. This truck costs almost $60,000 new, was built in January 2020 with a faulty and dangerous transmission but ford is refusing to help their customers.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
Air conditioning and heating output on drivers side and passenger side vents swings wildly independent of settings and requires continual manual adjustment or complete airflow/system shutoff. The interior of the cab either bakes or freezes on either side and requires constant operator input to manage. Very unsafe as the driver must continually monitor and adjust looking at the display screen and not the road. Essentially, the same thing as texting continually while navigating all driving situations. Am aware of other 2023 SD Tremor models with the same issue 250-450. No warning lamps no codes present and has been a constant issue since purchased new 6 months ago.
