In owners’ own words
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseFiled with NHTSA by the people who own these cars, about the electrical system. Quoted as written, with anything identifying removed; unverified reports — what was said, not a finding that it was true.
While driving, the vehicle shut off (three times now). This occurred once while turning onto another road and the vehicle stalled in a lane of traffic. When this happens, the vehicle makes you shift to park and restart the vehicle. It displays a message about auto start/stop (attached). Every time has been at relatively low speed
Vehicle shut down while moving and displayed message ' auto start stop shift to p then restart engine' after coming to a stop with no power brakes or steering, vehicle took approximately five seconds to restart and had a difficult time doing so
Ford recalls 600,000-plus vehicles to fix backup cameras included the 2020 F-150 but not the 2019 F-150. My vehicle is experiencing the same issues. In fact the cameras have been replaced by the dealer 7 times and they are still not working. I feel this should be covered under the same recall as the 2020s
Today while driving home from work, a wrench-shaped indicator light on the dashboard turned on. Following this, the display notified me that the front sensor and collision avoidance were no longer available. Afterwards, the truck began to shudder and jerk around while idling at the stoplight.
Vehicle shuts down. I was waiting in line of traffic for the traffic light to turn green. Motor stops, lights go out. Placed in neutral and tried to restart, would not start until after 3 - 4 minutes
