While driving on a city street, the engine suddenly stopped. A message on the instrument cluster display said something to the effect of "auto startstop. Put vehicle in 'p' and start the engine". Vehicle has less that 4000 miles on it. This is a very dangerous event, and if it should occur in heavy traffic, could result in serious injury or death. Have not yet been to the dealer. Making this complaint immediately since a quick check shows other owners reporting this event with their vehicles on this official site as well as on many unofficial forums, indicating that this is a common occurrence with the product and not this specific vehicle.

The tail gate lowered on its own while we were driving down a high way and towing our camper. It dented the propane tanks and shifted the hitch system in addition to totaling the tail gate.

Vehicle has 8000 miles on it. Tires were put on by ford dealership. They are the goodyear wrangler territory at tires. They are considered a new tire that was created by goodyear this year. The tires have not been taken off road. Tires have only been driven on pavement to and from carpool. The front passenger tire was taken in to discount tire to have the tire assessed of why it was losing air pressure constantly. The side wall that faces out, has a split on the sidewall. It does not appear to be a puncture. It is very small and could barely be seen. It looks to be dried and splitting. No curbs have been hit with that front tire. Another tire previously had been taken from the back end to the dealership to be looked at for losing air. Iraq had ripped the rubber between the tire tread and created a hole. Again tires were at 3000 miles at this point in february and had not been taken off road at this point either. Goodyear was contacted because the owners had to pay out of pocket to completely replace the tire and a good year paid half of the cost for a new tire as part of their bad luck new car owner program. The tires are supposed to be an upgrade and be all-terrain. They have not even been taken off road and have had and now two major incidences. The tires seem very weak and there are currently no recalls because they have only been on vehicles for a short period of time. We have not been able to find them in any place other than the dealership to replace the tire because they are still so new. They seem very weak and have 8000 miles on the vehicle currently and are struggling to not crack.

Transmission shift concern: while driving in town at low speeds and on the highway at posted speeds of 70 or 75mph, and even at take off from a complete stop, i am experiencing issues with how my 2020 f150 10spd transmission shifts. At times, during all of the above instances, shifting can be very rough and noisy, can be delayed causing delayed acceleration, and even when i start the truck, i sometimes here a clunk and the truck may even slightly lurch forward. **i have had two instances now of my truck hesitating in the middle of a highway at take off. After the first time, i immediately contacted the dealership. I took the truck only to be told it could not be duplicated. **when traveling at low speeds in town you feel and audibly hear the transmission shift and sometimes jerk. **when traveling at highway speeds, especially when on cruise control, and the truck downshifts from 10th to 8th gear, the sound of the shift has become audible and you feel it. At other times, the shift is smooth and functions as i would expect. **when starting the vehicle, there are times when you hear a clunking sound then the vehicle will slightly move as if it where given a slight push. I have expressed my concern to the dealership where i purchased the truck on more than one occasion. The first time i was told by the service rep that this is normal for the truck. The second time was when the truck stalled at takeoff in the middle of the highway. This time i was told to bring the truck in. I was called to pick my truck up the same day and told the issue could not be duplicated. Very few miles were put on the truck for "testing". I wish i had documented them. Today i called again as the shifting issues are getting worse. I was scheduled for an appointment july 21, 2021, but only after telling them this needed to be checked more thoroughly. I was first dismissed and told this was again, normal operation. **no service lights or warnings in the vehicle for this specific issue.

On two occasions (4/18 and 6/10) the vehicle shut off while driving. A dashboard message said “put vehicle in park and restart engine”. The dealer service center could not find the cause. I contacted ford motor company and was given a case number and the vehicle was checked again at the dealer service center in conjunction with ford motor company via phone. No cause was found. I was told it most likely was a one time fluke. After the second event on 6/10 i drove immediately to the service center. I took a picture of the dashboard message. Again, no cause could be found. I reported this to the ford customer experience specialist. I asked the specialist for the email address of someone with higher authority or in their safety department and was told if i did not want to continue with ford “someone higher would be the better business bureau”. Both instances of the truck shutting off have been on residential streets while driving about 20 mph. I have repeatedly voiced my fear that the vehicle would shut off while on the highway or thruway and the result could be catastrophic.

While backing out of a residential driveway, while turning the steering wheel the right front wheel caught the edge of the curb and had a catastrophic failure of the right front upper ball joint. Wheel and knuckle collapsed under the wheel well. The vehicle is new with 8600 miles on it. While removing the wheel in order to tow it, found there was no torque nut on the balljoint stud. It was transported to a certified ford dealership where it is being evaluated for repairs. Suspension, steering, alignment, sensors are non operational and damaged. The nut was either never put on, or was never tightened. No prior warnings were given. Had we been driving at speed i have no doubt we would have sustaine major injury or worse. Dealership has reported documentation of the aformentioned problem, and pictures sent to ford administration with no response yet.

At approximately 9700 miles my truck has started malfuctioning and causing a safety risk. On takeoff the truck feels powerless until approximately 3 seconds after pressing the gas pedal. While crossing an intersection, i hit the gas which moved my truck forward very slowly in front of on-coming traffic but took approximately 3 seconds to start moving at the rate of speed a vehicle normally should. I could have been t-boned from this. The main issue i have noticed is while driving between 20 and 40 mph and giving enough gas to maintain speed, the truck starts jolting back and forth until i either let my foot off the gas or floor it. It also makes a clunking noise in the rear end while this happens. I called ford and scheduled an appointment which was 4 weeks out and they just told me to "take it easy driving it, it will be fine." this is not a once in a while issue, this happens every single time i drive my truck and does not go away no matter how long i'm driving it for.

Back glass shattered with no impact waiting at a red light. Heard a pop sound and the whole back glass shattered. Live in florida so we did not have the defrost on.
