The tailgate continues to open randomly while driving or backing up the truck. The recall for this was completed but the issue continues to occur. Most recently this caused $525 worth of damage to my 5th wheel camper and $450 worth of damage to my tailgate. This is very dangerous and should be addressed by Ford immediately.

My 2018 F-350 is on its way back to the dealership for the 4th time in 2 years for the same reoccurring problem with the alternators. About every 6 months the trucks starts flashing nearly all of the engine warning lights, shuts off all auxiliary components, (radio, AC, interior lighting) and then continues to cycle on and off for the duration of that trip. That's a lot of fun at 75 miles an hour at night! Something has to change.

Tailgate still randomly opens after Ford issued recall to correct. Seems to occur primarily when truck is parked on hill with ebrake set. When releasing emergency brake on a hill, the release is quite violent in terms of the truck vibrating/shuddering. It appears the proximity of the remote open tailgate switch and the vibration with the ebrake handle release, may be activating the remote switch. Truck has already had the Ford issued tailgate opening recall applied which has not corrected the issue.

You did a recall for the tailgate opening because of moisture in a sensor but you still have not done a recall for the tailgate opening due to the key fob. You say all the damage that can be caused should the tailgate opening while pulling a trailer. If you have the key fob in your pocket it can bump the tailgate open button twice (just while walking) and open the tailgate. This needs to be able to be disabled. The damage possibility is identical. Please get this corrected. Should it come open in my yard while I am working and comes down on my granddaughters head it could be deadly. Please correct this. I have seen a lot of complaints about this.

The tailgate opens on its own. The latest incident, the tailgate opened on its own while traveling. Initially I thought I might have press the tailgate button but after securing the key to ensure nothing presses against the button found out that is that is not the case. Latest incident occurred on 29 Jul 19 and cause damage to my travel trailer and the tailgate itself. I am currently use S bungee cord to secure the tailgate from opening.

This vehicle is equipped with a feature that shuts the engine and ignition off after 30 minutes of idle without driver interaction. These vehicles have "up-fitter switches" which can be tied to things like auxiliary warning lights. When the vehicle shuts down, the headlights/tail lights turn off as well as power to any auxiliary loads. I am a firefighter in North Carolina. I have these switches attached to auxiliary sae-w warning lights. The other night, I was on the scene of a collision and after 30 minutes, my truck shut itself off in the middle of the road and went completely dark. The headlights/tail lights turned off, as well as the warning lights installed on the perimeter of the body. This resulted in a significant traffic hazard and put the safety of myself and others in the roadway in jeopardy. The feature can be disabled each time the vehicle is started, but requires the vehicle to be stopped and various menus to be cycled through. I thought I'd kicked it off but apparently missed the setting while I was trying to get out and render aid at this particular incident. I have spoked with ronald fuller with Ford's body builder advisory service who informs me that this feature is included in all retail trucks, and can not be disabled. Their logic is that they want to prevent people from accidentally running the vehicle in their garage and asphyxiating themselves. The recommendation was to purchase a police package vehicle which does not include this software package. My concern is any vehicle used for construciton, road works, or for general commercial application is likely to experience a similar situation which can result in the vehicle being totally dark in the middle of the roadway.

The tailgate releases (opens or drops) unexpectantly when the parking brake is released. This seems to be an intermittent problem when the vehicle is stopped. It has occurred with the vehicle transmission in park, reverse, or drive and the parking brake release lever is actuated. This has been for the last 18 months.
