Dripping Springs, TX

Driving and abrupt transmission shifting issues.

NHTSA complaint #11718342 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

Hyrum, UT

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Back up camera screen goes blue when put in reverse. Then after 20 seconds says camera unavailable see dealer. I had dealer repair with a software reset. Worked for about 2 weeks then same symptoms. Noticed Ford has a recall for the same symptoms on other vehicles but for some reason F-350s are not a part of it. Would suspect the truck uses the same camera system as the other ford vehilces under the recall. Ford needs to step up and cover the F-350s

My Ford F350 is experiencing the recall deficiency issued by Ford in January 2025 after repeated calls Ford still is unable or unwilling to fix my vehicle. Ford motor company, and the local dealership have told me workarounds could be performed, but they would be done at my expense. A rearview camera on a pick up truck is used often and is a safety hazard when backing up Blind to low objects.

Driving down the highway at a speed of 70,truck began to vibrate uncontrollably changed lanes. Continue to vibrate uncontrollably in the front of the truck. Pulled safely to side of road. Expected to see flat tires. No flat tires. Turn truck off. Turn truck back on no issues again. I believe this was my first experience with the death wobble.

Strawn, TX

On 7 Aug 2022, I lost cruise control, Navigation function (GPS0 and had problems with other elecrical functions on instrument cluster. I took truck to my local ford dealer; they rand Ford diagnostics on truck and it had 3 module errors listed. They cleared the codes and tried to get me to accept the vehicle. Road tested it and there efforts of clearing the codes did not fix any thing. Brought back in shop on 10 Aug 2022. Diagnostics ran again now narrowed it down to APIM failing 3 times in 2 days. Now deallership says they have to order part from California if they have them in stock. This truck only has 22,000 miles on it. Has had multiple failures of equipment for fuel system listing codes P0191 2 and threee times per day. Dealer will NOT attempt to fix that problem. Just says deal with it.

Windshield leaking and wind noise

NHTSA complaint #11469066 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

Collierville, TN

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

When my F-350 had only 2,265 miles on it, I was getting in my truck and closed the door. When it closed, the rear window shattered. There was no object that had been thrown at or through the window(no lawn service around that day, etc.). I immediately called the local Ford dealership(Landers Ford in Collierville, TN) and was told that the window would not be covered under warranty. I then called the Ford customer service # on the ford.com website and they stated that this was not a quality issue and that it would not be covered under warranty. It is clear by looking at the picture that the window shattered out as though the pressure in the truck when the door closed caused the break. This occurred on 9/10/21 and I took the truck to Safelite on 9/13/21 to have the window replaced at my own expense.

NHTSA complaint #11432869 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

Oxford, NY

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

An unknown electrical issue possibly sensor, module or wiring related causes several faults in the system and they appear on the dash. These faults disable many safety features built in to the vehicle and a few convenience features as well. The faults displayed are: "pre-collision assist not available", "hill start assist warning", "service advance trac" and "drive mode not available" When this happens randomly the vehicle will stop producing forward acceleration and slow down very quickly as if I took my foot off the accelerator. When this occurs it is a dangerous situation made worse at higher speeds and I must quickly move off the road without causing an accident. The vehicle has been to the dealer 4 times since new (4765 current miles) and there is no definite solution at this time.
