Dashboard blackout while driving.

- Runaway Bay, TX, USA

The rear backup camera fails and goes black. It is available for inspection if requested. Problem has been reproduced by a dealer. I have not had it inspected by police or insurance. There were no warning signs other than camera went blurry then completely black. The are millions of recalls and consumer satisfaction warranties for 2015-current f 150s, but for some reason mine is not showing up as a recall.

I became aware of a Ford F 150 Rear Camera recall. I found that out in 2025 but with research looks like there was also one in 2021. I did not receive the recall and contacted Ford. They do not show that either. I was contacting them because I had 2 accidents in 2024 that I believe were caused by the failure o the rear camera alert. I also have contacted my car insurance company regarding my claim. Ford in not communicating with me and my insurance company suggested I contact you. In Aug of 2024 on a Saturday I was having work done on my house so prked my 2008 Audi across from my driveway. Later in the day when I needed to drive my F150 I backed out of my garage and hit the Audi. No alerts came on with the camera. The next day I went to church and pulled in to a spot then backed up wo straigten out. I hit a car that was driving past my spot. Again the alerts never went on. I believe both of these are related to the failure of my rear camera. I am shocked that my truck is not on the reall list as I believe the rear camera needs to me replaced. I am also looking for process to fill a claim against ford for my accidents. Any informaton or thoughts would be appreciated. [XXX] and [XXX] email [XXX] [XXX].

I was driving my 2015 Ford F150 and just pulled into the parking lot. The lights on the dash started going off (airbags, parking detectors, big wrench, etc), however the vehicle driving wasn't affected at that time. I immediately stopped and parked, When I returned to my vehicle it had full power, but wouldn't even attempt to start. I had no choice but to tow it to a nearby Ford dealership in Grapevine, TX. It was ultimately diagnosed with a bad "Transmission Lead Harness." The dealership told me that this was a recall item on many F150s, but for some reason, not on mine. I researched this specific issue and found that 2011-2016 models of F150 were affected. It shows an investigation was opened for 2015 models as well. My question is why my specific vehicle is not under a recall. This could be a potentially dangerous issue, i'd think. So, right now I'm looking at a nearly $2000 bill to repair my vehicle when they get the parts in on Friday, 10/10/2025. I believe that if this is a recall on other with the same transmission lead harness, why is mine separated from that. I was given no warning other than the lights going off just before shutting of my truck, then it wouldn't start again. Thankfully I was in a populated area and not in the middle of nowhere. Please advise on any possible what I can get reimbursed for this issue.

Rear sliding glass window track falling down. It happened approximately 2 months after I bought the truck. I believe it is just designed badly for a sliding window track.

I have a power rear window, the tracks that hold the window in place have fallen loose to the point the window leans inward and which in turn wind and rain are coming in causing the interior is getting wet. This will damage the inside of the truck making repair costly

Subject: Safety Defect Report -?" 2015 Ford F-150 Clock Spring Failure To Whom It May Concern at NHTSA, I am writing to report a safety defect in my 2015 Ford F-150 (VIN: [XXX] ). The steering wheel clock spring has failed, which prevents the use of steering wheel controls to cycle through and monitor critical vehicle information. This creates a safety risk because the driver cannot access important vehicle data while driving. I contacted Ford Motor Company to request assistance, as the repair was quoted at $700. Ford acknowledged my request but refused to provide assistance, stating the vehicle is outside of warranty. However, the clock spring is a safety-critical component that should not fail under normal use. Ford has issued recalls for clock spring failures on other vehicles, which indicates this can be a systemic safety issue. This failure compromises safe vehicle operation and should be investigated as a potential recall matter. Thank you for your attention to this issue.

Transmission on my F150 suddenly dropped to a lower gear as I was pulling out on a highway which significantly lowered my acceleration. Luckily the oncoming traffic slowed until I could safely get across to my lane. Eventually it jumped back into the proper gear. From what I have found on the internet this seems to be a common defect. Only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured or killed. This is not the first time the transmission has done this. I took my F150 to the dealership to be checked and they didn-??t find anything wrong. P0706 and P0707 codes.

Coolant hoses defect. I have had non stop issues with coolant hoses blowing out on the highway due to the couplings they use. Plastic is not designed to withstand heat from the coolant and the constant temperature changes. I have to replace the couplings every 6month plus the heater core hoses because of the failure of the plastic couplings they use there isn-??t an aftermarket option that is not plastic either this is a real issue due to being stranded on the road and not to mention the issues of environmental damage due to the coolant leaking all over the ground!!!

A mechanic confirmed the truck has an issue with the speed sensor. On the daily, the truck will experience shifting issues, gets stuck in 3rd, and will not go past 5th. I have to turn off the vehicle and restart and it resets. I've read this is a known issue, and F150s for model years prior to and after 2015 have been recalled for this same thing. I also believe there are already a significant number of complaints for the 2015 model year for this exact issue. Please issue a recall.

The transfer case is leaking, caused by galvanic corrosion. Ford used steel bolts on the aluminum transfer case housing which created the corrosion.

The engine while operating at normal speed loses power to a rough idle and is remedied by putting the vehicle in park and restarting the engine. The engine never fails to start after restarting, but could fail at any moment, short or long term.

Broken clock spring

This vehicle was purchased by a friend with the factory tow package. No modifications were made before my purchase three years ago. I installed a factory brake controller for a travel trailer I purchased. The software was enabled with Forscan, and the dealer updated the software to the latest available. Even with a new seven way plug, the truck displays "trailer disconnected" when using the slide brake and also never shows any output when braking. The brakes do engage but very mildly. The travel trailer brakes normally on my other vehicle. There are no fault codes and no obvious connection issues. The dealership today said they do no know the cause and would likely be unable to resolve it.

Upper rail for sliding rear window came off causing the rear slider to fall into the back seat. This is a known problem with 2015 and newer F150's with a rear sliding windows. Ford refuses to acknowledge the issue and take responsibility for it. It is a failure of the adhesive that holds the top rail for the slider to the window.

A recent recall on F250-??s, 350-??s and other ford fleets on the reverse camera not operating intermittently. It-??s a known issue. I reported it to my local ford dealer back in 2019 and they said I would need to drop the truck off for over a week just for diagnosis. Single vehicle family here. It-??s a big loss of situational awareness in areas like parking lots and with more people walking around with their phones in their faces like zombies, and with the camera inoperative, has greater potential of loss of life or damage to property.

Transmission abruptly shifted down from high gear to low gear causing it to lock up at a fast speed. My son hit his chest on steering wheel bc it was so abrupt

Sunroof was replaced under warranty due to track being broken. Now the sunroof is leaking and the shade will not open. There has been several recalls for sunroof issues. Dealership says my vin is not included. This seems to me to be a recall issue for safety. If the sunroof is broken it could cave in or fly off. Especially since it is leaking and won-??t open and cannot see the problem. Dealership wants to charge me over $200 just to look at it. This is unacceptable.
