- 2021 Ford F150 Lariat

- #1
This is my first Ford I have purchased. A 2021 F150 Lariat Antimatter Blue. It is a gorgeous truck, the color is beautiful in the sunlight, looks black otherwise. I have had it for almost 2 weeks. Oddly I got rid of a Tahoe because of it's many issues. The issues with the F150 started with the rain sensing not working at all, it started to rain as we were coming back from visiting my daughter at college. So at this point I had only two speeds normal and fast. Sadly more issues came up. Here they are….
As stated, Rain Sensing does not work
Auto High Beams do not work
Alarm has gone off several times
(Opti-Coat and Xpel were applied at about the 8 day mark)
(Tonneau cover installed)
This past Wednesday I stopped into the dealership and discussed the rain sensing with the service department, and we scheduled a Monday Drop Off.
I had only driven the truck once at night up to this point, Then I noticed ….
Driver side fog light comes on then off comes on then off, repeatedly as I drive. Auto High Beam not working. When the fog light brightened I stopped the truck and got out to look once it was on. I noticed the driver side was bright and the passenger was off.
Rust on Axle
Two poltergeist situations….
Came home at night (Thursday), yesterday. Noticed the fog lights going on and off again. Pulled into driveway and shut off truck. Got out of the truck and noticed the Head and Taillights did not go off. Waited 15 minutes and they still would not go off. Started truck and shut off. Lights stayed on. Shocked that my goto did not work I tried every setting on the headlight control, cycled through all four settings. Nothing. Lights stayed on. After several more attempts with the headlight control it finally went off. During this time a few weird things with the info screen, slow to start and a few flashes. Then it came on.
Because I read on these forums about the alarm issue, at this point I thought I had a great idea and shut off the Alarm System in the settings. Genius!
I did call Ford at this point. Not much help but said there was a known issue with the fog lights.
The next day (today Friday)…Earlier in the evening the alarm went off (how I thought, my genius move was somehow foiled). I shut it off in disgust. I then went into the house and went upstairs, about 20 minutes later my wife comes up panicked, she was walking the dogs, and she said the truck just started on it’s own when she was outside. She said the alarm went off then stopped. Then the headlights and rear lights started flashing and then the engine idled. Then she said it just stopped. I am not sure if it was angry or exhausted. Nice, I will sleep in fear that the truck is going to awaken in Adaptive Cruise Control and terrorize the neighborhood. Another Stephen King Novel. WTF.
I do love the truck It rides nice and looks great so I hope this can be corrected without much headache.
(Yes I double checked the vehicle settings after each of the issues occurred and everything looked correct)
