List your 2021 F-150 issues

[Bradr03]

I’m hoping to compile a list of issues that people have experienced thus far. Let’s keep it simple, 1,2,3 format and basic issue. See my example below. Hopefully this will help recognize trending issues.

Dealer fixed:
1. Transfer case malfunctioning @ 800 miles
2. DS master window switch fault (one touch not working/won’t roll up or down all the way)

Needs addressed:
3. Alarm triggered randomly
4. Heated steering wheel doesn’t stay hot (10 minutes)
5. Memory seat doesn’t always adjust correctly

Well, you asked for it:

Dealer fixed: 0 Important to note, not their fault, dealer techs were unable to find resolutions with Ford and the engineers after two service appointments.

1: XM Hardware Fault
2: Vision system camera fault
3: Private Comm network fault
4: Left/Right mirror heater output fault
5: Battery voltage fault
6: "Reverse Brake Assist Not Available" error message
7: Recirculation on climate control randomly shuts off after a few minutes
8: Air flow through dash vents poor to non-existent if deftrost and/or floor is also selected
9: Body panel fitment poor at: tailgate, hood
10: Rear bumper offset from rear quarter panels
11: Engine has started to make excessive noise (growl/gravely) intermittently; performance is reduced when this occurs
12: Lane departure system has failed randomly
13: Center screen gets very hot, up to 123 degrees when I measured it with a thermal-imaging camera
14: Digital speedometer and dial gauge speedo are off 2 MPH from one another

I have a case filed with Ford and one of their support specialists is supposed to be getting ahold of me this week (after a week delay).

1- Alarm Motion detection going off randomly at night.
2- Center screen gets very hot

None of these issues have me racing to a dealer at the moment. I disabled motion for now. So I will wait and see if anything comes through for an OTA update.

4. Heated steering wheel doesn’t stay hot (10 minutes)
5. Memory seat doesn’t always adjust correctly

So far, this is what I've experienced:

1. Dead battery after sitting for a week. Dealer replaced the battery.
2. Just found today that my one touch window switch on driver's side also is not working.
3. Some rust on the front of the rear axle housing. Not nearly as bad as some. Bought some Fluid Film and will spray it.

I had a sensor issue with my truck the week after I bought it. My dealer found the part the was broken, and when they went to order the part didn’t exist in the catalog.

Long story short I got tired of waiting for the parts department at Dearborn to get back with my dealer.

I tweeted at ford and told them their new trucks sucked. I had a response within 30 mins, and a call from the customer care team at Ford the same day. Told them it has been 2 weeks and my tuck wasn’t fixed and I wanted a buyback. With the next 24 hours the parts to fix my truck we’re overnighted.

Light a fire under them if you aren’t getting what you need. Shouldn’t have to wait weeks for a new truck.

That's how I finally got a response, case # and support specialist. I first called Customer Care and he was absolutely worthless. Posted a tweet @Ford and bingo. My list of issues has been growing by the week. Initially it was items 1-5, everything else has been coming up in the successive weeks. Purchased 12/26, now has 3200 miles. Love this truck but ready to throw it back at them if they can't resolve ALL at my next dealer visit.

You know they are watching this forum. I'd bet money on it. After the battery awareness issue and the article, this would be the closest to the customer they could get, besides the dealer. But…I like the tweet idea.

I got a Front park assists not available, and front blind spot not working.

Jeep has a team dedicated to a forum like this it’s nice to have corporate support on the forum but there is a lot of problems with the wrangle

Holy shit!

1. Lots of rust on rear end.
2. Transmission hard shifts.
3. Shifter randomly goes into park from reverse sometimes fails to go into gear.
4. Seat memory loses memory.
5. Ac won't stay in recirculate.
Think that's it.

Really minor but frustrating, radio presets revert back to two sets each time I start the truck after I program more than eight stations.
