On or about April 2024, the "check engine" light came on in my 2020 Ford F-150. My vehicle was just becoming due for re-registration. I had the code for the check engine light checked at my parts dealer and double checked at the maintenance facility I was having services done. The check engine code was for the catalytic converter. I had the catalytic converter and O2 sensors replaced at my service provider, the check engine light was extinguished and the codes had been removed, the vehicle emissions no longer reported on the service/inspection station and the vehicle passed the emissions/safety check for re-registration. In less than one month, the check engine light came on again, with the exact same codes that identify the catalytic converter failing. Both the parts dealer and the service provider tell me that it's impossible. Further checking by the service provider with Ford motor Company service center have told my service provider that my vehicle needs to have the onboard computer system erased and re-installed at my cost because only Ford has the program to do it at their service centers exclusively. This problem seems to be appearing with other Ford vehicles of the same year and engine size. I personally stood in line behind another man who was reporting a problem with his vehicle with the check engine light. Jokingly, I made the comment, "It must be a Ford" and he turned around and asked me "How did you know?" His vehicle is a 2020 Ford van that was parked outside next to my truck. It also has a 5.0 liter V8. Currently, I am awaiting an appointment at either Casa Ford or Visa Ford, the earliest opportunity for them to reprogram the onboard computer system.

I-??m trying to get a printout of the recalls for my vehicle.

While driving in the rain, my vehicle had a complete electrical failure. I could not accelerate or even turn the vehicle off. Because of this I could not move my vehicle off the highway. Fortunately I was not hit by the vehicle behind me, and was not in a turn. he Several warning lights came on. After being towed to a dealership, it was found that the factory windshield was leaking into the passenger side area where the Body Control Module (BCM) is housed. This flooded the unit and completely killed the truck. It was surprising to me that rain had the ability to completely render my truck useless. The manufacturer would not cover any repairs as they claimed windshield leaks were a maintenance issue.

My 2020 ford truck driver side door locks freeze when temperatures get below freezing. When this happens the door does not open and when I open it from the inside the door doesn-??t latch. I have to use a bungee cord to hold the door closed if I-??m going to use the vehicle. Also the rest of the doors don-??t lock when driving the vehicle. I believe other year ford trucks have had this issue and they also were recalled for a fix. I have had the truck to the dealer several times with no luck. The last time when the truck was under warranty they replaced the door lock actuator which didn-??t help. I believe this is very much a safety issue and I shouldn-??t even be driving this truck but I need it.

Not really a safety issue, but Ford is aware there is a problem with their 10-speed transmissions. When we went in to ask them a question; they TOLD US what we were experiencing, before we could tell them. Ford has a 3 step process to fix. The repair staff told us that the 1st fix never works. The second fix may work. The 3rd fix is another transmission with the SAME possible problem. They have completed the 1st step; but they want the truck for weeks, without a loaner, to see if they can "duplicate" the problem. Clunking and shaking when it shifts. We know they have had "service memos" in regard to the trannies; but why should the consumer be put out if they know there is a problem?

I've owned this F150 truck since 2020, purchasing it on Memorial Day. However, every year, I've experienced two to three instances where the car suddenly cuts off in the middle of a traffic light, accompanied by a yellow warning sign on the screen. I suspect it has something to do with the Auto Start-Stop technology. The most recent incident (1 month ago) while I was driving toward a traffic light direction that was turning red. I gradually slowed down until I came to a complete stop. When I lifted my foot off the brake pedal, the car simply shut off. This issue has become increasingly concerning, especially since it can occur in unpredictable situations. I'm hoping someone can provide some insight into the cause of this problem and suggest a solution.

The ford sync 3 freezes and asks to check for updates. When it checks for updates it states your vehicle is up to date. The sync 3 freezes and all it functions crash. This affects all things the sync controls including the back up camera, navigation, and radio. This has been reported on numerous forums and ford doesn-??t have a fix.

The infotainment system fails to retain configuration settings whereby accustomed -??conveniences-?? have become unavailable such as cell phone hands free operation, back lighting level (nighttime brightness), volume level, audio source, and station presets. The configuration settings occur randomly with each startup of the vehicle and must be re-set in each time or later discovered by the driver while traveling and often lend to distraction and frustration. In reading the Ford F150 Forum online, this is not unique to my vehicle and there are NUMEROUS complaints of this same problem. It is suggested that the problem is either software (Sync 3.4) or hardware (accessory protocol interface module). Some have taken it upon themselves to hack into the system using a rogue interface known as Forscan to correct the problem since Ford is SLOW TO ACKNOWLEDGE the problem. Forscan has vast capabilities that could cause erroneous configuration of anything on the digital communication buses within the vehicle, things set in that could lead to inopportune malfunctions while the vehicle is in operation. There is a possibility that interfacing to the Apple iPhone has caused configuration file corruption (deliberate or accidental). There is also a possibility of APIM chipset failure (deliberate or poor quality). In either case, Ford should have to own up to the problem. It would behoove the NHTSA to investigate this problem for the sake of all motorists.

The F150 was in a Park position while running in our driveway and lunged forward hitting our 2022 Toyota Highlander causing over $11,000 in damage on bother vehicles. ($1,428.69 Truck/ $9,000 estimate for Highlander). The vehicle was taken to Mooresville Ford on June 21, 2023 (earliest appointment available for this issue) to evaluate and repaired the transmission and transaxle. (Currently a class-action lawsuit was filed (Orndorff, et al. V Ford Motor Company concerning this same issue). We believe either this malfunction caused the F150 to unexpectedly lunge forward or another malfunction caused the F150 to lunge forward. We called Ford Headquarters and was told to file a claim with our insurance company. Very Unresponsive! We recently discovered a recall "where a partially seated clip may allow the transmission to be in a gear stated different from the gearshift position selected by the driver. this could allow the drive to move the shifter to Park and removed the ignition key, without the transmission gear actually being in Park. The vehicle could move unintentionally. (Article by Jimmy Dinsmore, April 7, 2020 in Torguenews.com). Also, in some cases the complainants have reported the gearbox slip and enter Park from Drive, stalling the engine. This issue has also caused the truck to lunge forward, causing unintended acceleration. (Article in Carhp.com March 9, 2022). We strongly believe one of the above named issues caused our vehicle to lunge forward causing over $11,000 worth of damage and would like to be reimbursed. We have had no luck with Ford and would like help from you.

The Sync 3 system has been rendered useless by recent software upgrade by Ford. Rear camera sporactically remains on when moving in forward direction. Pop-up messages requiring driver conformation occur after vehicle startup. Navigation, phone, radio are all associated with upgrade. Ford has acknowledged problem and stated that they are working on a software upgrade, none is available at this time. Ford will replace the ATIM which corrects the problem. The ATIM will be replaced under warranty. Vehicles out of warranty can have ATIM replaced at owner expense (+$1000). I find the Sync 3 system's random operation a distraction while driving and a safety hazard.

Tailgate unexpectedly opens. This has been going on the duration of ownership. Had items blow out. Had the -??fix-?? done on it. 5 days later, tailgate opened again. Again, item blew out. Concerned about this bc it could cause an issue while towing and not allowing vehicle to turn properly due to tailgate hitting trailer.

After heavy rain storms in Colorado water started pouring through the passenger side floorboard of my vehicle. I pulled off the molding by the doors, the wires were buried in water, then I started getting a powertrain error. This is the second time that I have received the power train error, although the dealership is telling me that they cannot find a problem. I am also being told that TSB 19-2345 does not apply to my Vin although it seems to be ant least part of issue. My carpet is now musty and I cannot seem to get it to dry as the leak continues.

The Display Screen on the truck goes completely black and resets itself. USB's don't function all the time. I was told when I brought the vehicle in for the first oil change after purchase that no issued were detected. It has continually happened. The screen goes black again, USB works intermittently, speakers are static and cannot get connection to any phone. Finally the dealer reported an issue with the sensor when I brought the truck in again for an oil change. So I waited for the part to arrive. I also stated my wheel locked and I was unable to drive it. They didn't find anything wrong. First time to get it repaired. The new sensor blew and the car didn't start. They had to put the old sensor back in so I had a truck to drive and order another. The second scheduled visit, the dealer couldn't find the part. I was told when I scheduled my 3rd visit, this part has been in demand for the last year because of the issue. I am now here for the 3rd visit, and told I need to pay the extended warranty on a part that basically runs the display of the car but can also cause the car not to function. During this time I have still had an issue with the steering wheel locking and the key doesn't turn. This has happened on 3 different occasions. I've had to try and move the steering wheel continuously and shake it leaving me stuck until I can get it to unlock. Again.... no one can find this issue and says its not the starter. If the truck went completely dead with a damaged sensor then the sensor may also control the steering wheel locking. No dealer has an answer for me. I do not want to be stranded and have this happen again. There have been no messages regarding any failures except for the screen just going black, forcing me to use my phone for navigation etc.

Underbody shield came down and had to be replaced. It-??s a black piece under truck that would have fallen off truck and could have blown up at another car. The truck has only 28263 miles on it and it should not be coming apart. I was told it is to protect the motor so I had a new one put on but the Dealership said it gets wet and there is cardboard that get heavy and makes it fall down and potentially fall off and litter the roads. I can-??t believe this part has been put on the trucks and is ok.. VERY DANGEROUS WITH IT FALLING OFF TRUCKS DUE TO WET weather..

Vehicle is subject to Ford Safety Recall 22S26 and the driver side windshield wiper does not work. Vehicle belongs to my daughter who is frustrated attempting to get required dealer repairs near her residence in Truckee, CA where heavy snow currently blankets the area. Corwin Ford in Reno, NV gives a 6 month to 11 month waiting period for the repair. Dealerships from Carson City, NV and west from Truckee, CA to the Sacramento area are unable to make the repair in a reasonable time frame. Vehicle is the only source of transportation for my daughter to work, store, medical appointments, etc..I telephoned Ford Customer Service who told me it's up to dealerships to schedule the repair. I filed a complaint with Ford Motor Company and BBB on my daughter's behalf. Her name is Krista Strecker.

The drivers side power door lock quit working. With everything I have read it appears to possibly be the power door lock actuator failure. Thank you.
