1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/04/2025

Driving and abrupt transmission shifting issues.

2 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/02/2025

Back up camera screen goes blue when put in reverse. Then after 20 seconds says camera unavailable see dealer. I had dealer repair with a software reset. Worked for about 2 weeks then same symptoms. Noticed Ford has a recall for the same symptoms on other vehicles but for some reason F-350s are not a part of it. Would suspect the truck uses the same camera system as the other Ford vehilces under the recall. Ford needs to step up and cover the F-350s.

3 Equipment problem

Sunroof blowout while traveling at highway speeds.

4 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/22/2025

My Ford f350 is experiencing the recall deficiency issued by Ford in January 2025 after repeated calls Ford still is unable or unwilling to fix my vehicle. Ford motor company, and the local dealership have told me workarounds could be performed, but they would be done at my expense. A rearview camera on a pick up truck is used often and is a safety hazard when backing up blind to low objects.

5 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/24/2024

Rear center high mount camera on chmsl has stopped working after one year after purchase.

6 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/14/2024

Driving down the highway at a speed of 70,truck began to vibrate uncontrollably changed lanes. Continue to vibrate uncontrollably in the front of the truck. Pulled safely to side of road. Expected to see flat tires. No flat tires. Turn truck off. Turn truck back on no issues again. I believe this was my first experience with the death wobble.

7 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/10/2021

When my F-350 had only 2,265 miles on it, I was getting in my truck and closed the door. When it closed, the rear window shattered. There was no object that had been thrown at or through the window(no lawn service around that day, etc. ). I immediately called the local Ford dealership(landers Ford in collierville, TN) and was told that the window would not be covered under warranty. I then called the Ford customer service # on the Ford. Com website and they stated that this was not a quality issue and that it would not be covered under warranty. It is clear by looking at the picture that the window shattered out as though the pressure in the truck when the door closed caused the break. This occurred on 9/10/21 and I took the truck to safelite on 9/13/21 to have the window replaced at my own expense.

8 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/28/2021

My setup: truck is level, trailer is 3/8" drop in front, and hitch ball up leaving one hole open from top. After installing product, ensuring proper setup, there is concern for towing safety, as the bottom of the drawbar drop is ~8-1/2" from ground, with reports from others that this setup has on numerous occasions, caused the drop portion of bar to contact pavement under normal towing conditions across the u. S. This has caused concern for possible catastrophic failure of drawbar drop when towing, believing that the welds on drawbar could become weakened and result in a disconnect of tow vehicle and trailer. I contacted the company, asking if they had plans to offer a 0" (would be an actual 3" length drop per their specs on the 6" and 8" drops) drop, or if they could say how much of the excess could be removed/cut from the drop safely. Their response is that there are no current plans to offer other drops and modifying the drawbar would void warranty. Others on various social media have warned of the drop making contact with pavement during the likes of national and state park entries/exits, as well as intersection transitions, etc. . I continued with my order/install, believing they had possibly installed incorrectly, but now see the concern, and do not want to void warranty, and in turn do not want to have a catastrophic failure that could kill someone. .
