Sunroof malfunction/leaking sunroof. Originally occurred in 2020 with the track not operating correctly. Manufacturer was able to fix that. However, after that it started leaking whenever it rained. Not pouring in the vehicle but dripping out of the sunroof control panel. It-??s done it ever since then. 2022 I had dealer check it again, this they didn-??t take it serious I believe as, they told me they were ordering a part to fix and would call me. I never heard back, called dealer and response was they hadn-??t gotten part in. Never heard anything back from them. So, still dealing with leaking/malfunctioning sunroof

While driving, the rear window opened up by itself and would not close. Controls were dead. Found a wire bundle (not a harness) which runs from the body control module to several sensors, including the 110V power converter, were worn through shorting out. The wiring lies in a channel along the rocker panel on the interior of the vehicle. The wiring is not protected from abrasion which led to the abrasion of the wires shorting out. Since 110V is running along this same channel, the potential for a fire is high, plus shorting 110V AC with 12V DC.

AIRBAG WARNING FAILURE A know issue with Ford F-150 and other products with the Blind Spot senor module in the rear tail lights. The vehicle has an issue with water or fluid leaking into the tail light housing causing many of the advanced features to stop working. The vehicle shows a Blind Spot Sensor Failure, Cross Traffic Sensor Failure, Front Windows will not operate, Air Conditioner stops working, Radio works but nothing can be changed and worst of all the "The Air Bag Failure Warning Light" comes on rendering the vehicle unsafe for roadway operations. The Internet (You Tube and other sites )document the failure and how to fix it. It is not confined to just My 2017 F-150 but plagues many other year and model ford products. My truck is currently at Bluebonnet Motors the Authorized and Sales Dealer for this Truck, they have confirmed the issue and are awaiting parts to repair it. They have quoted about $1,850 for parts and labor. [XXX] the service writer and myself witnessed these failures in the service reception area while checking the truck in for service. This problem puts many people at risk (including myself) if they are unaware of the entire system failures. Should a crash occur the occupants may not be provided with air bag deployment, which could result in possible injuries or death. I have not been made aware of Ford Motor Company or the dealership acknowledging this serious safety concern.

Engine start stop does not work anymore when at a stop but is causing a rough idle and sometimes will stall in traffic at low speeds.

- Tucson, AZ, USA

I was driving on the highway when my truck randomly began to sound as if it was in high idle like if I had it in neutral and was still pressing on the gas peddle. A wrench light came on as well as my engine light and I immediately lost power. Once I pulled over and placed it in park all the warning lights disappeared and my truck was fine again. Then it happened a second time but this time it almost caused the person from behind to hit me. I finally got to my destination and my truck was once again fine as if nothing happened. Few days later I was on the highway and it again happened. This time I had to utilize my insurance and have my truck towed back home. It has been an ongoing issue with my gears wanting to slip or feel like they don-??t want to engage. Even with my truck constantly shifting hard. I contacted Ford and I am being told that ultimately Im still responsible for charges. I know this is an ongoing problem with the manufacture and I know I am not the only person with an f150 having this issue. I am writing this complaint because it can be a dangerous situation, especially around heavy traffic.

The vehicle was purchased back in March and was parked in my driveway for about a month between uses. When I drove it again, I had the "Charging System Service Now" alert pop up on the screen. This was not present when we left the dealership, and they were not willing to help me solve the problem. I checked it with a code reader at home, but it did not generate any codes. I put the battery on a charger, but it was fully charged in 5 minutes. I took the vehicle to an auto parts store to have them check the battery and alternator, and everything checked out. The serpentine belt is not warn and the fuse for the alternator was still intact. We tried discharging the PCM, but that did not solve the problem either. I am asking around at a few mechanic shops for possible solutions to try and avoid taking it to the dealer.

Truck-??s powertrain control system detected an issue with the transmission shift solenoids not responding as expected - causing the transmission and drive functions to fail. The failure resulted in my transmission being shot - and the need for a full transmission rebuild. My safety was put at risk because the truck lost complete loss of driveability, and ability for sh*ting of gears. The vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer's agent, Holman Ford of Maple Shade, NJ. I received a number of warning alerts from the Ford Pass system beginning on March 24, 2023. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to the failure.

Heated and Cooling seat buttons for the front seats and Heated Seats for the rear indicates power being fed and luminated. Fuse for the climate control on seats is operational, however NO Heat and NO Cooling. Checked the Heated and Cooling Module under passenger front seat and disconnected harness to find the Top wiring pig tail as you look at it burnt. Terminals on module burnt. Apparently on the Ford F-150 Forum numerous members have the same problem. I have found the module and pigtail available, however I don't want to change it to prevent voiding possible Safety Recall. Will notify the dealership on March 6, 2023 at (Dick Smith Ford), Columbia S.C.. gds...

Truck downshifts periodically from 3rd to 2nd gear or from 4 to 3 of 4th to 2nd, for no reason, while keeping speed same on flat road. This causes tire squealing action in some cases and is unsafe. Also, at the same time, rear motion sensor system failure light comes on with an OK button. I select the button and then a wrench sign lights up indicating service requires. Sometimes also a check engine light comes on. Sometimes also the display showing what gear truck is in goes blank, or flutters through all gears. Sometimes a fan/generator comes on as well for no apparent reason. Sometimes the truck is goes in to no gear at all (neutral?) while I am moving. I pull over, restart the engine and the problems usually go away. This problem was reported to 2 Ford dealers (Cella and Bergey) on about 7/2022 and 8/2022. They gave me very different assessments of the problem, the most expensive being a new lead frame ($1,300) Problems originally started around 3/2022. Truck has about 35,000 miles on it.

Doing cold weather, the driver side door locks has frozen on several occasions causing the latch to become inoperable to latch. As a result, I am unable to lock the door after closing it and the door swings open before moving the vehicle. I have not been able to schedule an appointment at this time. The vehicle was purchased used from Carmax in Brandywine, Md., on March 22, 2022. I was informed that the vehicle had passed a full inspection prior to the sale. There were no warning lights or recall notices issued regarding the vehicle.

I was sitting in the drive thru with my kids when my daughter said there was smoke from behind her. Shortly after that the back window shattered into many peices onto them inside the car. It-??s ridiculous that there has been many complaints of the same issue yet no recall issued.

I have 3 cameras that look over the vehicle and after watching video there was nothing that touched or near the truck.. It just explodes and shattered after remote start. It had a strange smell and the rear window where the wires were at was burnt.

The first time I had a problem was after refueling the gear display went blank and as I started to drive it felt like the truck was not in 1st gear. I stopped turned off the truck and restarted and it was OK. I took it to my mechanic and he did a diagnostic which showed error codes p0706 p0707 p1702 and p1721. He couldn-??t replicate the problem and thought is may have been a moisture problem since we had been getting heavy rains. The next time it happened it happened I was on I195 in Richmond driving at 55 mph and the gear indicator lights flickered and then went off and the truck downshifted and slowed suddenly. The indicator lights came back on quickly and everything was fine. I went back to the mechanic and he got the same error messages. It was not raining this day
