While traveling on vacation April 15, my 2025 f150 truck suffered a total loss of forward momentum on the highway and in city of los angeles —a severe safety failure. The repairing Ford dealership, diagnosed a factory-born "open" in the main wiring harness (#14a005) behind the dash (dtcs p2128/p2138). To rectify this assembly-line defect, the dealership had to completely remove the dashboard (instrument panel). As an experienced truck owner, I know that an invasive repair of this magnitude on a brand-new vehicle significantly increases the risk of long-term electrical issues and permanent dashboard rattles. My confidence in this specific vehicle has been severely compromised.
The truck has a harsh downshifting when coming to a stop when starting out. It has happened multiple times.

My truck is a 2025 Ford f150 stx with 5,900 miles on it. This truck was purchased new at river city Ford in lavalette, wv the component in questions seems to be involved with the turbos and more specifically the wastegate that attached to the turbos. Also, yes, it would be available for inspection. I am unsure if it is a true safety concern as Ford says it is not and it is normal operation. However, with it making the rattling sound that it does I would believe that it could cause damage or that it's not normal operation. Yes, the problem has been confirmed by the dealer on 2 visits now but Ford refuses to do any type of repair as they say this is normal. It has only been inspected by Ford technicians the problem appeared over a month ago and is still happening every time I drive the vehicle.
When I am parking the truck, I press and hold the brake pedal, while the truck shifter in in "drive", I press the start/stop button to shut truck down, the shifter gets stuck in "drive" and doesn't automatically shift in to park. The truck locks down and will not operate as the shifter locks in "drive" and won't shift. This happened to me while travelling and was stuck in middle of no where for hours. Here are some troubleshooting tips from various reddit posts. . . Immediate troubleshooting steps battery disconnect: disconnect both 12v battery terminals (including the small one, if equipped) for 5-10 minutes to reset the system. Manual park release: locate the manual release lever (often under a small cover near the shifter or under the steering wheel) to force it into park. Restart sequence: turn the truck off, wait 1-2 minutes, and attempt to restart. Check battery voltage: a weak battery (under ) can cause shifter interlock issues.

•date/time: October 22, 5:11 pm •location: fulton, texas •symptoms: shifter stuck down/stowed; would not un?stow despite repeated attempts, power cycles, and multiple drivers •frequency: first observed on the date/time above; persisted through multiple attempts •component(s): power train (shifter/gear shift module), electrical system on October 22 at 5:11 pm in fulton, TX, the console?mounted power?folding shifter on my Ford f?150 lightning became stuck in the downward/stowed position and would not return to the upright (un?stowed) position. Because it would not un?stow, I could not select a gear and the vehicle was effectively inoperable. I pressed the shifter stow/un?stow button multiple times, cycled the vehicle power off/on several times, and had multiple drivers attempt to operate it. The shifter remained stuck each time. This appears consistent with Ford csp 25b09 (gear shift module failure to stow/unstow) and related TSB 25?2045 for lightning models describing symptoms such as “shifter will not stow/unstow” or “will not shift out of gear. ” after abandoning the vehicle for several hours in the not running state and then returning, I was able to unstow the shifter by pressing the button and drive away normally. This condition presents a safety hazard because the vehicle can become immobilized without the ability to select drive or reverse if the failure occurs in traffic or other unsafe locations.

New 2025 f150 lariat with 3. 5l v-6 twin-turbo full hybrid. Truck was sitting in garage and off when suddenly a message appeared on the digital speedometer area saying there was a powertrain fault. Truck only had 280 miles. At about 310 miles, service light came on indicating service was due. Checked Fordpass app and the on board diagnostic program indicated there was a power train fault detected. I’ve checked several online forums and many owners are reporting that there are known Ford technical service bulletins (TSB) regarding this issue and the issue has to due with faulty starter, alternator, and battery. Ford know about this issue and that it is common yet they have failed to issue a recall to fix all of these.

The first indication of a problem was a red "service charging system now" message at 121 total vehicle miles and continued to be intermittent. The vehicle was returned to the selling Ford dealership the next day. After a day in the service department, they were unable to duplicate the problem. This same message reappeared sporadically, but did not seem to affect the safe operation of the vehicle. At approximately 1460 miles the red "service charging system now" and many other messages appeared while I was on an interstate traveling at 70mph. As I started maneuvering for the nearest exit, the steering would not respond without using excessive force, creating a dangerous, unsafe situation. I managed to safely exit the highway and park the vehicle. It would not reset or operate normally. The vehicle was subsequently towed to a Ford dealer. After 3 weeks of troubleshooting, they replaced the main agm 12v battery (part number bagm 94rh7 800) and the dcdc converter (part number ml3z 14g649 f). These components may be available from astro Ford in biloxi, ms for inspection.
