general problems of the 2016 Ford F-150

The passenger occupancy sensor is not working correctly, giving an airbag indicator on the dashboard. It is not recognizing when a person is in the seat. This causes a huge safety risk if airbags don’t deploy in a collision.

Unknown, I was pulling into a parking spot, at sam's club, and lightly tap the gas petal for the turn and the truck lunched forward in the one carlink, and hit a concrete parking pole (sam's club in southgate michigan has security cameras) it warped around the pole and bent the frame as if though it was 90 mph and a telephone pole. . I had taken it in twice under warranty for the gas pedal not working correctly, the warranty company would not allow a 3rd repair nor did Ford dealership take that warranty company. The airbags did not deploy, and I now have a t4 fractured vertebrae.

All push button controls on steering wheel are not functioning. Appears the steering wheel clock spring is going bad. Which in turn affects airbag, steering, cruise control ect.

On Friday, may 21, 2021, the horn pad / airbag cover on the steering wheel cracked beneath the Ford emblem on my 2016 Ford f150 with approximately 44k mi on the vehicle. A quick web search shows identical cracks on many f150 horn pads of this body style. There are no recalls and no tsbs, but there are many online reports of this failure, indicating it is common. Likewise, there are many stories of Ford faulting drivers for improper horn use to decline warranty coverage. Without improper use in my case, I can assure that the failure of the horn pad cover is a design flaw. Because the issue presents a safety concern by exposing the airbag or related hardware, I recommend a recall be issued to proactively address this common design failure. I look forward to Ford resolving this issue for me under their cpo warranty, but online commenters leave me cautious about the likelihood of warranty support.

I have a 2016 f150 lariat. While stationary and in motion my rear blindspot spot moduale keeps showing on my dash covering my sperdometer. When this happens I lose my heat, airbags, gps, front power windows, power mirrors and power seats. I've been checking online of this problem and sounds quite common. This was happening about 3 times a day for about 2 weeks and now it stays to where its constant. Seeing this is on going with these vehicles I think the dealerships should be reliable to fix this expensive ongoing problem. The Ford dealership in utica, NY wants 1500. 00 dollars to fix this problem.

One week ago left work and turned on truck. When starting to pull out of parking space abs light came on dash. After getting home and calling dealer to have inspection, was informed it would be 2 weeks to get in for service. As vehicle is daily driver continued to drive around town and to work, a few days after regular use steering column started getting harder to turn and developed clicking sound. Called another mechanic to get in sooner and before could make that appointment scheduled for two days later entire steering column locked up and vehicle is unusable. Being towed to repair shop today. Luckily was not driving when column locked up. Had started vehicle in driveway and was planning on going to store when unable to back up because steering columns/wheel would not move. Now awaiting work from repair shop on doagnsostics and issue to repair. Very frustrated as vehicle less than 3 years old and with only 70k miles.

I went to stop/brake for slowing traffic on interstate when brake pedal went all the way to the floor, truck would not stop. Truck after impact still traveled over 200 plus yards before coming to a rolling stop. How can the follow happen??? �brake pedal going all the way down to the floor �sudden loss of braking effectiveness �complete failure of braking function.

�takata recall� I was rear ended by a vehicle traveling at about 45 mph that vehicle got totaled the whole front end was destroyed car had to be towed but my f150 did not deploy the airbags at such a violent collision???.

I have a 2016 f150 with issues similar to NHTSA complaint id# 10127407. The problems are not intermittent, the part has failed & is not available from Ford at this time. The air conditioning quits completely & you cannot run the fan at all. You cannot roll down any windows in the vehicle & the vehicle gets well over 90 degrees inside while driving. This is a huge safety issue because when this doesn't work it also disables the airbags of the vehicle, cross traffic alert as well as tire pressure monitor failure along with other safety features. The seats no longer retract or move forward when the vehicle is started/shutoff. The key fob intermittently will not lock the doors of the vehicle & the alert on the truck says key not found. With the warm temperatures and no way to roll down the windows or turn on the ac or a blower fan makes this vehicle extremely unsafe to operate.
