I've had trailer brakes and lights not working off and on with my 2022 f350. They're aware of it and sent a recall. I went to have the recall performed this morning and the dealer told me that the "fix" for the recall also doesn't work and that they'll call me when the "new fix" is ready. Meanwhile, I'm getting into towing season and I'll be towing a large trailer across the country repeatedly with trailer brakes that might work or might not.
Without warning my brakes and steering failed on a freedom elite RV on a Ford motor chassis. The vehicle only had 2396 miles on it at the time of occurrence. It turned out to be a pressure hose that broke. Luckily I was in a residential neighborhood with no traffic and driving very slowly when it happened. I shudder to think what would have happened on a hill or in traffic.
