Wiper motor, radio/ ignition system, remote locking/ unlocking & cruise control. 1st issue: wiper motor will not turn to off, the wipers run intermittently in the off position every 20-30 seconds the wipers will run. Pulled fuse until repairs can be made to switch and/or module. 2nd issue: when ignition is turned off & key removed, and the radio is playing or off, a low battery warning message appears: remove ignition key and turn off the radio. The issue will not cure unless truck is vacated & locked. Dealer can't replicate issue no repairs made but still occurs from time to time. 3rd issue: power lock/ unlock by remote does not communicate with truck intermittently, replaced both remote batteries still having issues getting truck to unlock/ lock. Dealer can't replicate problem & no repairs are made. 4th issue: cruise control will not disengage when pressing brake pedal, have to turn off cruise control from steering column. This issue never returned to date of this complaint, no repairs made. This issue should be a safety concern. With all the issues with truck no warning dash messages or lights.

While driving on an interstate highway using cruise control, I needed to slow down for an exit. When I applied the brake pedal, the cruise control did not release and I had to apply quite a bit of brake pressure to slow down. I also hit the off button for the cruise control which did not deactivate the cruise control. When I braked, the speed was decreased but the cruise control was still on at the reduced speed. I kept hitting the off button, but the cruise control was still in operation. After doing this for about ten minutes, the cruise control finally deactivated. I used the cruise control later on this trip to test it and it worked as it should. I took the truck to the dealership on 3/6/19 and was told they would check it for a charge and would fix it for an additional charge; that charge depending on whether it was under warranty. I have an extended warranty to 100,000 miles and the vehicle only has a little over 20,000 miles. I told the service manager that it was a safety issue. He replied that a bald tire was a safety issue also, making the point that they did not intend to treat this as a safety issue where a repair would be done with no charge. He professed ignorance of any vehicles having a problem with the cruise control not deactivating. I showed him an article on the internet where fiat Chrysler had several million vehicles recalled with this problem. He still said he had never heard of it. The dealership said they could not find a problem, but if it did it again, to bring it back.

Driving at 55 mph in cruise control. Touched brake to disengage cruise control and pressed accelerator pedal to pass a slow vehicle when pedal went to the floor and engine raced. I had to press brakes with all my might to slow vehicle to 45 mph and it kept climbing and pedal would not come up and engine speed would not slow. Pressed off button for cruise control and nothing changed. Finally after 5 miles heard a pop and the pedal came up and engine speed dropped to idle. Could not stop earlier as 2 lane hwy. With no shoulder. Guard rail and river on right and mountain cliffs on left side. Brought to dealer who could find nothing wrong they stated.

The operator called and informed us that the vehicle acted like it wouldn't accelerate. When he stomped down on the pedal the vehicle went full acceleration and stayed there. Hitting the brakes didn't help. The cruise control was on but not set. He tried pulling up on the pedal, turning off cruise and killed truck and restarted to max acceleration, killed the engine, restarted and it reset and went to working. We have no codes, inspected throttle body and cleaned, inspected wiring and app operation, other than graph signals were choppy and not fairly smooth (no diagnosis).

While traveling to san diego - as we exited off the freeway the cruise control failed to release. Stepping on the brake, turning off the switch did not change the stuck cruise control. We were going 70 mph as we exited and continued at 70 for about 1/2 mile - through 1 stop sign and 3 stop lights before were able to get to a safe place to turn the key off and loose all control of steering of the truck. We turned onto a side street. Turned off the truck 10-15 seconds - upon turning the truck back on it went immediately to 6000 rpm's burning rubber only reason we did not speed out of control again is because had both feet on the brake. Turned truck off again waited 10 minutes - turned it on again - the cruise control had finally released. We drove to the nearest Ford dealership which was 5 miles. They found nothing wrong with the truck - when we returned home we took it to our local dealer where we bought the truck - they found nothing wrong and said to bring it back if it happens again - we may not be alive next time to bring it back!.
