On XXX at approximately 6:50 AM, I was backing out of my driveway. After entering the roadway, I came to a complete stop and shifted from Reverse to Drive while in Normal drive mode. Immediately upon shifting into Drive, the vehicle lurched forward and rapidly accelerated without any accelerator pedal input. My foot was not on the accelerator. The vehicle accelerated to approximately 15-16 MPH and continued moving under power. I had to quickly steer to avoid striking my brick mailbox. The vehicle continued moving until I applied the brakes and brought it to a complete stop. After stopping, the engine RPM returned to normal and the vehicle then operated normally. No warning lights or…

I am the owner of a Ford F-150 Raptor R, a vehicle that Ford specifically engineered to require 5W-50 full synthetic motor oil. Despite following Ford's recommended maintenance schedule, I have been informed by multiple dealerships that they cannot perform a routine oil change because Ford is not supplying sufficient quantities of the required oil. What I find unacceptable is not simply the temporary shortage itself, but Ford's apparent lack of urgency in addressing the problem and the complete absence of a customer solution. I purchased a premium vehicle with the expectation that Ford would be able to support and maintain its own product. Instead, I am being told there is "nothing that can…

URGENT SAFETY COMPLAINT â 2024 FORD F-150 TREMOR Since May 2026, my 2024 Ford F-150 Tremor has repeatedly experienced a dangerous transmission gear-shifting malfunction. Without warning, the gear selector locks, preventing the vehicle from engaging Drive, Reverse, or Park, leaving it immobilized. This has occurred in parking garages, blocking entrances and exits, and on interstate highways after stopping in traffic. The vehicle can become stranded in active traffic with no reliable way to move it to safety. This creates an extreme collision risk, potentially resulting in serious injuries or fatalities involving myself, my family, and other motorists. This is not an isolated concern. Ford…

I am reporting a catastrophic component failure on my 2024 Ford F-150 equipped with the 9.75-inch heavy-duty 3/4 float rear axle design. Both the driver-side and passenger-side rear axle hub bolts have completely sheared off due to metal fatigue. The bolt heads are missing entirely, and the threaded studs remain snapped off flush inside the wheel hub assemblies

The windshields are extremely prone to cracking and chipping. I am now in need of my fourth windshield from an acorn falling off a tree and hitting my windshield while going 25mph. I have had multiple Ford F150s and have never replaced a windshield, I have not changed my driving habits and every one has been from an extremely minuscule incident such as this. I know of at least three other F150 owners at my place of employment who have been through at least one windshield on their newer trucks as well. There is something wrong with these windshields.
