Ford issued a recall for Ford Lightnings produced from November 2023 to February 2024, for the front ball joint nut falling off. Causing a loss of control, suspension and all steering input, later crashing. New truck with 700 miles. Fords guesstimate of 12000 trucks, going by the month math is more likely than not well over 24000 affected vehicles. MY TRUCK WAS MANUFACTURED JUNE 2024. My husband MOVED/unscrewed the aforementioned nut, off the left upper ball joint WITH THE FINGERS ON HIS HAND. The nut was loose. The upper ball joint appeared hand tight. FORD NEARLY KILLED US. I advised william at NHTSA and he hung the phone up on me. William needs to be terminated. William is apparently biased against gay men and/or retired law enforcement officers.

After having the vehicle serviced by authorized dealer the brake system and electrical system displayed the same issues as it had previously. The safety braking system sent warnings and failures 3 times and I returned it to the dealership for further repairs. While driving the ABS senses a failure, along with hill assist, and the front end collision system. All of these systems sent failure warnings and made braking very difficult.

Twice when opening the drivers door, my 2024 Ford F-150 Raptor V6 has chimed and then displayed -??Brake System Failure-??. Starting the truck, shutting off the motor and locking/unlocking the drivers door appears to clear the message. The local Ford dealership updated the software and believed it corrected the issue. Today, I drove approximately 30 miles, shut off the engine, locked the door and had lunch. When entering the truck again, I got an alert chime and the dashboard had an error reading -??Parking Brake Failure-??.
