For the 3rd time while I was driving my 2020 F150 stx with only 4,218 miles the engine shut off completely and displayed 'auto startstop shift to P, then restart engine' on the dash display. The last time this happened was on 4/22/21 I was driving through a street going about 20 mph. Fortunately, there were no vehicle in front of me or behind me and I was not trying to turn at an intersection which could have resulted in a collision. The same thing had happened on 3/18/21 while driving on a street going about 15 mph. And the first time this happened was on 2/20/21 I was pulling in to my driveway so stopping and doing so was not a safety problem. I am really concerned about this problem I felt very unsafe in my truck if this problem doesn't get resolved people can get in to an accident and get seriously injured or killed. I did some research online and also checked my VIN for any recalls and I was surprised to not find any. From researching online forums the auto start/stop function appears to be faulty and needs to be fixed/recalled before someone is seriously injured or killed. This issue appears to be widespread and across multiple model years. On 4/24/21 I took my truck to the dealership where I purchased it the tech called me and told me that they ran several tests and the truck did not give any problem codes. For safety dealership said they did not want me to drive truck so they would keep it and would contact Ford to report issue and wait for their recommendation. I'm still waiting for update. I hope Ford takes this issue seriously and does a recall.

Ford cameras recall: 20C19 and 20B39. I received notification of the recall during normal maintenance on March 1, 2021, not via Ford headquarters. Apparently, the recall was on 09/23/20. Two different Ford dealerships (in palm desert area) have said one of the cameras is on backorder with no clear indication when it would be received for installation. Therefore, from the date of the recall until now (approximately 6-months), I have not received the corrected parts or installation.

- La Quinta, CA, USA

Complaint is that Ford will not complete the work on their recall in a timely manner. The front camera intermittently does not work. Issue started approximately 9-10 months ago at which time it occurred approximately 20% of the time. Ford issued a recall notice on 9/23/20 to address this and after 6 months they still will not repair my truck. The front camera fails to operate approximately 90% of the time at this point.

There is a known recall on the backup camera wtih Ford. But my local dealer has the part on backorder for going on 3 months now. This seems to be a safety issue. How can a major company issue a recall and then not have the part available to fix for more than 3 months?

For the second time today, my 2020 F150 has turned itself off, while I was driving, with a message to "shift to park and restart engine". I happened to be pulling into my driveway, so stopping and doing so was not a safety problem. The first time, I was in a parking lot and was able to coast to a stop and do this, but if this happens on a road, or worse, when entering an intersection when crossing without stopping is necessary, someone is going to get killed.. I have not bothered to report this to Ford, because I am active on an F150 forum and have found that this same thing has happened to many other people, and Ford has no idea how to fix it. I noticed several people said it happened when the weather was chilly - one person said it was 42 degrees. In my case, the weather today is 40, and it was similar weather last time it happened. I have no idea if this is related, but it's an interesting coincidence otherwise. My car was moderately warmed up, I had only driven about 8 miles. Picture of the dash from today's incident attached. In both cases, the truck was otherwise driving fine, giving no indication of problems, and also started right back up and showed no other problem. It has probably been about 3 months since the first time. The second time was today - 3.16.2021

My -150 lariat has been giving me problems with the front collision camera and detects when no other vehicles are around. My computer for sync does not always turn on and freezes not allowing me to use navigation and other features. I almost got into three accidents because the vehicle accelerated on its own. In the same night when I pressed the gas it would not accelerate. At one point the speedometer was stuck at 67mph yet the truck accelerated well over 70mph. My brakes did not work properly several times. I pressed them and the truck would not stop. I took it in to the Ford dealership and they essentially told me no codes could verify the problems. I am very concerned about the safety of my vehicle and I and other drivers were put in severe danger.

Ford eliminated the engine cover in 2019 exposing the engine wiring to the elements. Since the wiring insulation is made from soy this allow for rodents to clime up into the engine compartment and chew at the exposed wires. This can disables the vehicle or set a vehicle engine lights at the owners expense. In my case the vehicle lost power on the freeway and I had several lights come on. The top speed dropped from 70mph to 23mph. Brighton Ford did repair the vehicle at my expense. Going forward even though the repair has put the vehicle back on the road, the potential problem still exist. Ford customer care said there is no solution available to this problem I have opened a case but I don't believe anyone is looking at it. I also check 2021 vehicles and it has the same issue.

Faulty backup and forward camera at inconsistent intervals. Camera will become very dark and view is distorted making it impossible to see where you are going from camera view. Truck was bought new in January 2020 and started having camera problems late this summer. With covid-19 not driving as much as before April. The cameras only work when backing up or pulling forward at low speed. Thus trying to park or exit a parking space cameras can be of no help if it is having its sporadic dark out.
