Got into vehicle and before starting window just shattered. No issues prior with the rear window just random and for no apparent reason it shattered from inside out.
take your truck to a ford dealer to see if they car refresh or reprogram the tcm for the transmission shudder witch is being caused by the torque converter if they can-??t refresh or reprogram your truck will need a new torque converter.
2016 Ford F150 Platinum 5.0L V8 with automatic 6R80 transmission. Erratic gear shifting while driving. Sometimes not getting out of/stuck in 3rd gear and sometimes not downshifting below 3rd gear. Orange wrench or illuminated MIL light came on followed by a solid check engine light. Took it to dealership - DTC P0720 and P0722 appeared. Dealership tech states that he reprogrammed the PCM and output shaft speed sensor, and that the next step is to drive it and see how it does and if it didn-??t fix the problem then he will have to change the molded leadframe. This issue is exactly the same issue as the customer satisfaction program 19N01. The safety concern is I don-??t want to drive it around, waiting for the leadframe to fail one day while I-??m driving down the freeway with my family in 6th gear and have the truck shift abruptly to 3rd or 1st gear and lose control. This issue is exactly like the 19N01 with the same 6R80 transmission.
Catalytic Converters have failed for second time. [XXX] original catalytic converters failed at 48060 mileage and Ford replaced under warranty including the assembly. [XXX] replacement catalytic converters failed again at 92830 mileage. Neither the original or replacement converters were working at 50,000 miles or reached the National emission warranty of 80,000 miles. Reduced fuel mileage by 30% has been identified. Karl Flammer Ford 41975 US 19 North Tarpon Springs FL 34689 indicates no Ford programs cover $4000 plus repair. Ford Customer Affairs POBox 6248 Dearborn MI 48126 [XXX] responded no programs cover this repair and they work with NHTSA on consumer concerns. The Catalytic Converters shouldn-??t fail at low mileage in a Ford F150 especially twice with reduced fuel usage. As a senior, a $4000. plus repair is a hardship for an equipment failure that should be either identified for recall or identified as a lemon.

The driver door latch froze during cold outside temperatures and the door would not latch closed. I had to drive while holding my door closed with my hand. This is extremely dangerous. This is a known recall from Ford and the repair was already performed. This happened 2 days in a row. Tomorrow I will be contacting Ford for a solution.
* What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? (Exhaust manifold. yes.) * How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? (Risk of Fire, reduced engine performance and reduce vehicle's ability to respond promptly to driver inputs, Squealing sound causing distracting driver, Carbon monoxide exposure causing others put at risk.) * Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? (This is first time I got issue but I see a lot of people reported that the exhaust manifold is the common issue for not just Ford F-150 but also any Ford eco-boost vehicles.) * Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? (Inspected by mechanics) * Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? (No engine light came out for this issue. Sound appear all of the sudden.) Warped exhaust manifold is common issue for Ford eco-boost model. Air is leaking through there causing the squealing sound while accelerate vehicle.
The trucks horn and hazard lights contiunsley goes off anytime it rains. We can be driving down the road and the truck will start going haywire, lights flashing horn won't shut off. There's been times when the truck itself wouldn't turn off even after removing the key. It's very bad wiring problem with this truck.
The frame on this truck broke. The frame tore in a manner that the lower control arm became disconnected from the vehicle. I recognize that l live in an area where rust issues are real, however l am also very experienced with metal working and fabrication and can reliably assure that corrosion is not the cause of this failure in the frame of this vehicle. I have attached 4 photos, those are of the front & back of passenger side (good) and driver's side (bad). Note the broken bolt head (toward the front) and the broken frame. This is the actual frame that broke and not a bolted on subframe and to me this is a serious issue. There are so many of these trucks on the roads l feel that l am obligated to make you aware of the problem. I thank you for your time.
While driving the truck it suddenly and randomly loses power. Pushing on the gas pedal no longer makes the truck go. You have to coast to a safe spot, brake and turn the truck off, then restart it for it to start working again. The truck has a jolting motion to it when it loses power and until it is shut off. The truck has several indicator lights flashing like a wrench and something about hill assist not functioning. The truck sometimes has trouble starting after it loses power. Safety concerns are if this happens while trying to turn and there is on coming traffic you could get T-boned. If you are unable to pull over on the side of the road to restart the truck, then you risk being stopped in traffic and being hit from behind. This has happened on 3 occasions and happens randomly without warning. It has happened twice in one day. The truck has been to two shops who are unable to reproduce it and unable to find the problem. On-line forums lead me to think it is the electronic throttle body. A previous recall for this was 16B32. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by insurance company or police. The truck has three appointments with 2 different ford dealerships and one independent auto shop coming up for further inspection.
The back-up camera on my 2016 Ford F150 does not work after the Sun has been shinning on it for a while and it gets hot. At night or when or when the camera is cool it will work. The problem started sometime in 2019. I have not reported it to a Ford Dealer. I have a Co-worker who has a 2016 Ford Mustang with the same problem.

After further research it appears that this is a common problem for this design. A ford dealer quoted me 4k to fix-??.If this does not qualify for a recall i have no idea what will. Please help all of us and make this a recall.
Panarama roof/front windshield leaks water. It sometimes drips through the dash and the electronics and may start to affect systems. This item has been addressed two times by the dealer, but the problem persists. Repaired 8/23/19, 3/30/19. Problem persists today. The truck is out of warranty now dealer will no longer address without Ford corporate involvement.
