I was driving home and noticed that the back mirror light was on. I tried to turn it off using the button, but it wouldn't go off. Confused, I pulled over to the side to check what was wrong and found that the rear sliding glass was leaning forward on my back seat. The track that was apparently holding it in place had come unglued! I could not believe it. It was raining and I was still a one hour drive away from home.

2017 Ford f150 Raptor transmission 10r80 has been many complaints of Ford owners due to safety issues. My truck jerks from Park to drive. Also when driving, the gears don't shift correctly. I'm hoping their is a solution that Ford needs to pay and take care of this transmission problem. As in the meantime I have my Ford truck in the Dealership hoping it can be a Recall.

The thin decorative steel cover on the wheel lug nuts are cracking at the corners and deforming to the extent that they would be difficult to get off with the provided tire wrench in a roadside tire failure. My tire shop had to drive a socket on, then drive it off.

When driving on hills or moving from a stop to get into traffic the vehicle will go from 4th gear to 1st and won-??t accelerate. After this happens I-??m alerted with -??Powertrain system fault-??. This causes a safety issue for me and others because on hills it won-??t accelerate and it rolls backwards. From a stop trying to get into traffic it won-??t move and becomes a collision waiting to happen. This problem happens very frequently but hasn-??t been confirmed or inspected yet. The only warnings are -??Powertrain System fault-?? No systems and first appeared late June of 2024

After takimg.my ford to the dealership to correct the frozen door latch issue, my doors are still latching. This is a serious safety issue as the door will not latch properly and you have to hold the door closed to get the vehicle home. All 4 doors experience this latch issue. I have had to tie my door closed with a cell phone charger cord just to get the vehicle home. This is unacceptable with the price of vehicles

I had the recall repaired on my 2017 F150 in 2022, for the freezing door latches not latching and letting the door stay closed. I did have issues with it in -??23 but it was only once or twice and I didn-??t do anything about it. I had issues with the latching again this winter (Jan. 2024) and had a new problem where the door would not UNLOCK and just brought it into Ford to maybe have them do a recall fix on latches again on it but they said there is nothing they can do. It is our only vehicle right now and my wife is currently pregnant and my main concern is us needing to leave in an emergency and not being able to get the doors open because of the locks or then having them not able to stay shut cause the latches won-??t work.

On12.26.23 I entered my 2017 F150, closed the door, and the rear window shattered, causing glass to enter the back seat- falling on my child who was seated in the rear. I called the local Ford dealership because my truck is under warranty to 100,000 miles. The dealership said they refer people with that problem to a local glass shop. I took it there to be repaired, total cost with tax was $1067 There were no warnings, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to this happening. ***this submittal has an area to attached the service invoice- this function will not work for me, but I do have the invoice if needed.
