Electrical system

15 reports
“2024 ford f150 having identical issue that was covered under recall 23S35. that involves wire harness routing along rear axle. I’m asking ford dealership out of good faith to include my vehicle in this recall. However, no luck. My vehicle was 177 miles over the bumper to bumper warranty when the warning light alerted me.”

Power train

9 reports1 crash
“Several times now the truck will get "stuck" in N or D and will not move. No loss of power, and can't manually shift out to park. Now waiting for a tow to the dealer, they were supposed to correct this when I took it in the last time it happened but didn't. There are a lot of online complaints IRT this issue with the powerboost 150 and other 150s. Mine was made at the Dearborn plant. Huge safety issue and it needs to be addressed”

Engine

8 reports1 crash
“February, 2026 — approximately 14,039 miles. The vehicle experienced a breakdown/engine shutdown on a major highway. The truck was towed to a Ford Service Dept and they described it as "engine failure" and "repair throttle body". We were lucky to not be involved in an accident with the truck suddenly shutting off at 70mph. August 20, 2026 through August 28, 2026 — 22,824 miles. I reported multiple serious concerns. After driving, stopping the vehicle, and returning approximately 10 minutes later, numerous IPC warning codes appeared and the vehicle could not be shifted into reverse or drive until after cycling the ignition several times. The vehicle required a tow-in to the dealer. On one of the incidents the truck again shutdown and had to be towed. The dealership advised it's a software problem. This power-boost F150 truck is unsafe.”

Vehicle speed control

6 reports
“While driving on a controlled-access highway, BlueCruise Hands-Free was active. The Adaptive Cruise Control was set to 65 MPH and the vehicle’s recognized speed limit was 65 MPH. My foot was not on the accelerator. The vehicle unexpectedly accelerated beyond the 65 MPH set speed. The vehicle continued accelerating on its own and subsequently reached approximately 82 MPH. At approximately 82 MPH, the instrument cluster showed the cruise setting at approximately 85 MPH while the detected speed limit remained 65 MPH. I did not intentionally increase the cruise set speed to 85 MPH. The vehicle was operating in Hands-Free BlueCruise during the event. The system subsequently displayed “Keep hands on steering wheel.” I have the video documenting the instrument-cluster displays during the event. This created a serious safety hazard because the vehicle accelerated approximately 17 MPH above the posted/detected 65 MPH speed limit without intentional accelerator input or intentional increase of the cruise setting. This situation happened at least 3 more times before I completely disengaged the hand free feature due to safety concerns.”

Forward collision avoidance

5 reports1 crash
“The vehicle lost both cruise control functions (adaptive and normal) during the drive and will only reset to normal cruise control after shutting off vehicle and restarting it. Then it will only work on normal cruise control temporarily.”

Fuel/propulsion system

5 reports
“Dash said look for safe place to pull over. When turned engine off, it would not start again. Had to wait hours to get it towed to dealership. Been there over 5 weeks and they still don't know what's wrong but suspect hybrid battery problem. Only about 21k miles and 18 mo old. No loaner provided.”
