The F-150 was involved in a car crash. It hit a street sign, an electrical pole and then a tree. The front bumper is split and insurance just devalued it a total loss.

On Friday, May 21, 2021, the horn pad / airbag cover on the steering wheel cracked beneath the Ford emblem on my 2016 Ford F150 with approximately 44k mi on the vehicle. A quick web search shows identical cracks on many F150 horn pads of this body style. There are no recalls and no TSBs, but there are many online reports of this failure, indicating it is common. Likewise, there are many stories of Ford faulting drivers for improper horn use to decline warranty coverage. Without improper use in my case, I can assure that the failure of the horn pad cover is a design flaw. Because the issue presents a safety concern by exposing the airbag or related hardware, I recommend a recall be issued to proactively address this common design failure. I look forward to Ford resolving this issue for me under their CPO warranty, but online commenters leave me cautious about the likelihood of warranty support.

I have a 2016 F150 lariat. While stationary and in motion my rear blindspot spot moduale keeps showing on my dash covering my sperdometer. When this happens I lose my heat, airbags, gps, front power windows, power mirrors and power seats. I've been checking online of this problem and sounds quite common. This was happening about 3 times a day for about 2 weeks and now it stays to where its constant. Seeing this is on going with these vehicles I think the dealerships should be reliable to fix this expensive ongoing problem. The Ford dealership in utica, NY wants $1500 dollars to fix this problem.
One week ago left work and turned on truck. When starting to pull out of parking space ABS light came on dash. After getting home and calling dealer to have inspection, was informed it would be 2 weeks to get in for service. As vehicle is daily driver continued to drive around town and to work, a few days after regular use steering column started getting harder to turn and developed clicking sound. Called another mechanic to get in sooner and before could make that appointment scheduled for two days later entire steering column locked up and vehicle is unusable. Being towed to repair shop today. Luckily was not driving when column locked up. Had started vehicle in driveway and was planning on going to store when unable to back up because steering columns/wheel would not move. Now awaiting work from repair shop on doagnsostics and issue to repair. Very frustrated as vehicle less than 3 years old and with only 70K miles.
Truck has re-occurring frequent episodes of center control panel does not function - when this occurs- radio does not work - no heater -window defroster or a.C / windows can not be rolled up or down - air bag indicator is not working - so don't know if the air bags would deployed if an accident should occur.the truck has been to 1 dealer which said it was a soft wear issue and claimed to fix it.. lasted less than 50 miles and back to square one, , sitting at the second dealer which states it not doing it now, , so come and pick it up, they ran a diagnostics and no default codes were found. This is not resolving the issue. If you cant tell me what you did to fix it..the issue remains unresolved.. a safety issue for all occupants in the cab of the truck.. if the air bags fail to deploy because of the issue stated in this complaint is not addressed by the Ford Motor Company.. I have been in contact with the Ford relationship - personnel - and now awaiting for a call from the regional officer...the truck is still under factory warranty and Ford is required to fulfill there obligation to the consumer and fix default product..
5/25/2018 - head on collision. I was a passenger. Our vehicle going 25 mph uphill. Striking vehicle going est 60+ mph coming down hill collided head on with us. No fatalities but 3 injured. Seat belts locked correctly. Drivers side airbag deployed and the passenger (my side) airbag did not. Driver of the vehicle striking us heavily inebriated. One of the firemen, when opening passenger door, commented about plastic pieces in the airbag area.
I hit some ice on the interstate and lost control. I ran off the road doing between 45 & 50 mph. I went downhill for around 100 yards and hit a tree. The tree centered the bumper and the air bags did not deploy.
I was traveling straight in my F-150 on a main road in the 30-40mph range when another vehicle (2006 Chevy 2500 pickup) darted across traffic trying to go from one parking lot to another. I struck the other vehicle (T-boned) on the passenger side front and back doors. My foot was jamming the brakes at the time of collision. The impact was significant and caused a good amount of damage to the front of my F-150. The seat belt actuator fired off to lock me in place but the air bag did not deploy. I don't understand how/why the airbag did not deploy in this instance.
