Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component

Electrical system

77 reports6 crashes
“1) The high voltage junction box failed causing the vehicle to abruptly stall on a public road. The part will be available for inspection through contacting a local dealership. 2) The vehicle completely stalled at night in the middle of a 6 lane intersection. This posed a hazard for myself as well as for on coming and cross traffic. 3) The dealer has confirmed the failure of this component. 4) The vehicle component is being order of replacement at the dealership. The manufacture has also been informed via their corporate customer service line. 4) 5 seconds before the stall, the vehicle user interface displayed the message "please pull over safely". 10 minutes after the stall the Ford My Pass App showed three error messages: “High-Voltage Battery Warning”, “Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power” “Charge System Fault””

Power train

28 reports3 crashes
“My vehicle dash displayed "vehicle not in park" multiple times immediately after I put it in the drive position. At times I could push the "ok" prompt and proceed to drive but when I slowed or. stopped at intersections it would occur again and sometimes it applied the park brake without any action on my part. Around the same time I started getting "door module fault" or "door lock fault" warnings. It's been at a dealer over a month so I don't recall the exact wording now. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined the door module fault made the vehicle think it was moving with the door open and replaced it. After the repair they're now saying it's unsafe to operate because while in their custody it's automatically applying the brake and displaying a "shift indicator module fault" that also requires replacement. They told me Ford doesn't offer coverage beyond the 3/36 basic warranty however it doesn't seem unreasonable to expect a shift mechanism to work for the life of a vehicle but certainly longer than 4 years. The dealer service advisor commented to me that he's seen these gear shift modules fail on several models including F150's as well as EV and…”

Forward collision avoidance

21 reports4 crashes
“I had put the vehicle into One Pedal Drive mode for the first time on the morning of Aug 29th. Vehicle operated as it should for first few places I drove to and stopped, but then I approached a red light, removed foot slowly from accelerator and vehicle came to a full stop as it should. Approximately 2-5 seconds later, without warning or even the collision avoidance system activating, my vehicle suddenly accelerated into the rear of the stopped truck in front of me. Fortunately no serious injuries but someone could have been killed. My foot was NOT on the accelerator at the time - it was hovering over it while waiting for the light to change to green. My vehicle was taken to Ford for evaluation, but they claim it has to be repaired before they can diagnose/confirm the issue. I am the original owner with no previous accidents or incidents.”
