I am not sure this is the place for this, but here goes.. my truck dropped my phone connection I tried to reload it, I deleted it and tried to re-install it. The truck told me it was looking for "BT". I called to Sync and they walked me thru a few things and said I need an upgrade, I have a 5.8 and I need a 5.11 program. My radio is a basic radio, no navigation nothing special. So I took it to the dealer and they tell me I need a APIM and the price is off the charts. I am not sure if this all is connected, but I also have problems with the radio controls on the steering wheel on an intermitten basis. I apologize if this is not the place for this complaint but I had to start some place, please advise where I might go from here. I don't feel an 8 yr old truck should be having issues like this already.

Trailer disconnect error. Trailer wire fault error. Resulted in near accident causing trailer brakes to engage randomly at highway speeds.

While driving there is a hard "clunk" sound then blind spot system, cross traffic system fault and see manual alert comes ON. Truck loses power and shifts out of D (Acts as if in neutral). Has happened about 7 or 8 times now. Very scary situation and can be tragic if this situation happens at high speed. I have done some research and I know there have been recalls for transmission lead frames on older model F-150's. Sounds and feels to be the exact same situation for my 2015 F-150.

My airbags deployed while my truck was parked overnight. No known cause, no collision. Also when I put the keys in the truck all my dash lights were on no power steering. The truck is currently sitting at the dealership.

My f150 kept setting alarm off every day or 2 running battery down, took to ford house, paid $109 to be told they have never seen this problem. Looks like another $900 because my truck computer says it-??s always getting broke in to" WOW REALLY?" Never been broken into by the way!! Interior intrusion sensor is to sensitive ( by the ford houses managers mouth by the way). Does that make sense??

Rear window defroster was emitting a burning smell (although it was not turned on) and overheated the rear glass causing it to bulge and shatter!

- Fredericksburg, VA, USA

Good afternoon- Yesterday morning I was driving to work and had the defrost on. About 5 minutes later I starting smelling something burning. When I stopped at the gas station I noticed both sides of the rear window were all spiderwebbed/shattered, not the middle automatic one though. Can you please help? I-??ve went to a dealership, called ford customer care and know one wants to help. This HAS TO BE A DEFECT, like a short in the rear defrost or something. Update-went to lindquist ford in Bettendorf, IA and service manager 100% confirmed without a doubt the window shattered due to a short in the rear defroster and said he sees this all the time. Unbelievable that this is not a recall. Please see website below https://fordauthority.com/2017/12/another-ford-f-150-owner-claims-the-rear-window-shattered-despite-no-impact

- Bettendorf , IA, USA

Unsure of time of report but possible electrical issue with rear defroster. White electrical smoke and glass shattered while driving. Smoke filled cabin and was coming from passenger rear seat. Once seat was lowered the smoke was coming from behind the fiberglass so unable to see damage. The two connectors that go to the sliding glass are hanging freely and were sparking when seat was lowered. Rear defroster was on when issue occurred and smoke stopped once turned off. Vehicle has not yet been inspected, awaiting insurance claim. There were no warning signs, messages or symptoms of failure. Incident happened on 09/23/2022 at 7:40 AM while driving on interstate.

While driving at posted speeds on open highway and in congested work zones, this F-150 experienced an Electronic Throttle Body failure 5 times between Rochester Hills, MI and Granger, IN on 9/13/2022. It happened again on 9/14/2022 in city two way traffic with no shoulder. In each incident, the vehicle went into limp mode with rough idle and had to be completely stopped, turned off and restarted in high traffic, hazardous stopping locations. This happened once before in the mountains in Utah, in a construction zone back on 5/02/2021. At that time, the check engine light did not stay on and Ford was unable to find a code. It did not happen again until 9/13/2022. These incidents put me and my family in danger with each episode. Ford is fully aware of this issue, has in the past and should notify owners of the potential issue and continue to make repairs available as a recall or extended warranty service issue.

Two weeks ago my 2015 Ford F150 died in a parking lot. I drove it in fine, walked into the store, and when I left the store the truck was dead. Battery was good, alternator was good, but would not start. I had it towed to my local Ford dealer. Three days later they informed me that the starter was bad and it was replaced. Two days later I'm driving at highway speed (approx 70 mph) and the truck violently downshifts from sixth to third gear causing the tires to lock up and the vehicle to skid approx 20 ft in NYC traffic. Luckily there was no one close behind me although there were numerous car horns beeped and swerving traffic as I rapidly decelerated. The truck remained in third gear until I moved into the safety lane and the RPMs (due to slowing) returned to normal. The instrument panel only displayed a message "Contact Dealer". I shut the truck off and the turned it back on with no faults indicated and limped it home. Since then the truck has repeatedly failed to start. It will start fine for a day or two, and then nothing when the key is turned. I had it towed to my local service station where the mechanic informed me that the computer code errors indicated that there were multiple errors with the transmission. The soonest that the Ford dealer can inspect is 35 days from now. I see that earlier model Ford F150's had a factory recall for similar transmission problems. My concern is that due to electrical malfunctions within the transmission control module, Ford F150's may rapidly decelerate when the transmission inadvertently downshifts multiple gears causing accidents and possible loss of life.

The engine fails to start consistently using pushbutton and remote start on the ignition fob. It is not available as needed. As an elderly man and partally disabled wife, the inconsistant nature inhibits reliable usage of the vehicle if an emergency occurs. The problem has been reproduced by Kirk Brothers FORD in Vicksburg, Mississippi but at this time (vehicle dropped of on 6/21/22) no success has occurred to determine the cause! Only the local service department has worked on the vehicle and only one technician has been assigned for over 10 working days. Problem first appeared as intermittent in May 2022, and progressively got to the point vehicle would not start normally.

I auto started the truck and about 10 minutes into warm up the rear window shattered as I was putting items in the bed of the truck. Glass preceded to fall off the window, and there is still a residual burn electrical smell. I believe this is a result of the rear defroster. I have filed an insurance claim to replace the rear window. There were zero warnings, lamps etc. It sounded like a gunshot.

I don-??t know if this question qualifies in this section but I-??m just trying to find out why my 12v outlets in my truck are not working and also the plug-in for my trailer hitch, neither of them are working. To the best of my knowledge I-??ve checked fuses and couldn-??t see anything blown. Thank you

My truck won't start sometimes and turns off in the middle of driving. It happens every few weeks. It shows a message saying the oil I low but when I check the oil, it is fine.

- Lumberton, MS, USA

Drivers door lock stopped working using the remote and the power door lock on the door. Started after a cold spell in nc. Door would not lock. Took it to the dealer and they completed the latch recall work. They then charged me for a new latch as they said the electronics in the latch failed which causes the door lock to no longer work.

- Chapel Hill, NC, USA

While in motion and on the freeway there is power loss, shaking, engine sputtering and barely has enough power to get off the road, hill start assist disabled, decent control disabled, service wrench indicator, service advance trac. I powered off the truck, waiting 10 seconds and it starts and runs fine until it does it again.
