I am not a mechanic or a 'car person', so I may not know technical terms. This has occurred 4-6 times since purchasing the truck in March '26. After initial start up, it has a tendency to accelerate when applying the break. This is only within the first several minutes after startup. The most recent incident caused the truck to "roll" into the main street rather than coming to a complete stop. I was applying the break, but the truck was 'resisting' to come to a complete stop. The local Ford mechanic found this to be "undesirable, but normal characteristic". The situation that is occurring is anything but normal. The Ford dealer was able to replicate the situation, but deemed it to be "no further instructions on fixes or issues related to this concern and no further action can be perfomed" the truck is available for inspection. This is a major safety issue as I was unable to stop the truck before entering the main road. Yes, the truck was inspected by the dealer. There were no warning messages.
No incident occurred. This is to report a safety issue related to the activation of the rear view camera while driving forward. There are times when a vehicle (automobile/motorcycle) may be following closely, and the rear view mirrors are inadequate to see the following vehicle clearly. If the rear view camera is activated, the image projected by the camera is obscurred by a message stating "full view not available". There appears to be no way to remove this message so that the image in not obsurred. See attached photo.
The contact owns a 2025 Ford Ranger equipped with an aftermarket truck bed cover, product line: bak industries, product type: tonneau cover, product: bak 80342, serial number: rvo193745. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, the bed cover suddenly detached from the vehicle, becoming airborne and crossing over three lanes of traffic before landing in a ditch. Upon inspection, the contact discovered that the clamps used to secure the cover to the bed of the vehicle had remained attached to the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.
Rear view camera has significant delay, lag, or stutter at times, in reverse, more noticeably at faster that idle reverse speeds.
The head rest leans out so far at the top that my chin hits my chest. It doesn't matter if I try to lean the seat back of forth. Please evaluate the head rest as I believe it will cause serious injury as there is no back and forth adjustment. This can cause severe damage to the neck. You insisted on head rests for safety and I am very concerned about this. Also they are leaning the window so far back that with the sun out its impossible to see out with the reflections from the dash board showing in the window. The glare though the side drivers window is blocking me from seeing the odometer and gages. I really don't understand the use of so much computer that distracts drivers. If this is not your department send it to might be of assistance. I am talking about the 2025 Ford Ranger truck.
Became aware of open recalls circa 09. 2025, and requested the parts be ordered at Ford auto nation (fan) panama city, FL. Was told by john, dealership would call when parts became available. Parts have not either been available and/or there have been no calls. Calling the dealer is ludicrous as all calls are answered by an incompetent call center. Dropped by the dealership today 04/25/2026, and taylor could not book a service appointment, did not know if parts to fix recalls were available for my vehicle, and said I would need to speak with john whom was off today. It appears that Ford/fan-pc is not interested in safety or repairing my vehicle.
