“The contact owns a 2015 Ford F-350. The contact stated that a certified mechanic had installed a disaster kit on the vehicle to prevent a fuel system failure. The independent mechanic later found metal shavings inside the filter going into the manifold. The independent mechanic recommended that the fuel pump be replaced. The contact was concerned that the replacement of the fuel pump with the same part would be a temporary fix. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The dealer was contacted and advised the contact to take the vehicle in for a diagnostic test. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 81,000.”Owner report · Fuel System, Diesel · Mar 2026

“The touch screen interface is misaligned and occasionally not working at all. The misalignment means that to activate a button the driver must click somewhere else in the screen than the location where the button is displayed. This offset appears to change infrequently. This cause the driver to have to hunt for the location where the button responds and not pay attention to the road. If the wrong location is touched it may open random menus or start unintended functions, causing additional distractions and requiring multiple screen interactions. The car does not have physical buttons for most functions. On several occasions I found myself drifting out of lane due to this problem.”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Oct 2025

“Brake light failure. Appears that the brake lights were stuck in the illuminated position while the vehicle was not being used. I had to disconnect the batteries to disable the lights.”Owner report · Electrical System · Jun 2025
“My truck started "The Death Wobble" a few years ago. I have replaced shocks, tires and ball joints. The problem recently became almost undriveable on the highway as any small bump at a legal (70 MPH) triggered 5 instances on a trip to and from a destination that was 70 miles away via the interstate. I have ordered additional parts based on internet research to try to fix this issue, however in my research it is clear the is a COMMON issue. Why is this allowed to continue?”Owner report · Steering · Jun 2025
