This Problem Across All Years
Speedometer not working correctly analog and digital do no match. Trailer brake and lighting module failure warnings displayed. Both have been looked at by Ford Dealership, twice. You don’t know what is true, you can’t rely on any warning lights as all have proven wrong. I am in the process of 3rd trip in tomorrow to leave the vehicle a few days since it has to be parked on the Ford lot and stored there in order to try to get another speedometer to install to see if it fixes the one problem.

On September 16, 2025, while driving my 2023 Ford F-250 Super Duty at approximately 65 mph with cruise control engaged, I pressed the brake pedal to disengage cruise. The cruise control did not disengage. I pressed the brake pedal harder, but the truck did not slow down and maintained speed. There was no ABS activation sound or sensation, and no skid marks were left on the roadway. I struck the rear of a tractor trailer because the vehicle failed to slow down or cancel cruise control. In addition, the airbags did not deploy during the collision. This appears to be a failure of the brake pedal input/cruise disengagement system, braking system, and potentially the airbag system. This is a severe safety defect that could result in serious injury or death.

there hasn't been an incident per say and these might not be a safety concern. however i would like to list my grievances here just so there's documentation. my radio has some type of glitch where the phone calls get static like its digital, also the mirrors don't fold in all the time when locked with the key fob, the brakes have squeaked since day 1 and the grab handle in the tailgate just slides right out when the steps are pulled out. again i don't think this really qualifies for dangerous

During the 1st 20 min or so of operation the truck tries to "high idle" when in gear. This forces the operator use excessive brake pressure to keep the vehicle stopped. There have been several times my leg gets tired of holding the brake pedal down so hard the truck will creep forward unintentionally. The brakes grunt due to excessive force trying to keep the truck stopped. The dealer blows it off as normal, saying the truck is doing what its supposed to. I don't think the truck should be allowed to high idle in gear. I am afraid that I am going to accidently roll forward and hit someone. I have driven other 3/4 ton trucks and the ford 7.3 engine this is the only one that does this. I called ford and they said there is nothing to do if the dealership says the truck is operating properly.

The first time I drove the truck was in stop-and-go traffic. I was behind a semi-truck that was slow rolling in traffic at four miles an hour with a forty-foot gap. I never felt as if the brakes should need to be applied. My new truck began slamming on the brakes for no reason, bringing me to a complete stop. This continued for several miles this was and is very dangerous the car behind me almost rear-ended me every time this happened. I have turned this option off this should be removed from vehicles until it is perfected.

Front emergency break assistance over sensitive. Have had multiple occasions where the vehicle has locked up in a turn at a busy intersection. It has locked up only while turning left 3 times in intersections and now is doing it in fast food drive through 2 times. I now have it shut off for ky safety. Since the last time I was almost t-boned. Have not been able to bring to dealer yet.

MY NEW 2023 F250 SUPER DUTY HAD APPROXIMATELY 540 MILES WHEN I RECEIVED FOLLOWING MESSAGES: 1) PRE-COLLISION ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE 2) SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC 3) ABC OR ABS NOT WORKING FORD SERVICE DID A DIAGNOSIS AND ORDERED AND PUT IN STEERING CONTROL MODULE. FIXED CODES FOR ABOUT 1000 MILES AND CODES HAVE COME BACK. FORD SERVICE DIAGNOSIS ON TWO MORE SEPARATE OCCASIONS HAS NOT FOUND THE PROBLEM AND CODES STILL EXIST. FORD SERVICE WANTS TO DO HARNESS LAY OVER AND REPLACE TWO MAJOR HARNESS AND DO NOT KNOW IF THIS WILL FIX THE ISSUE. I DO NOT WANT A BRAND NEW TRUCK DISSECTED. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IF BRAKES ACTIVATE AT NORMAL AND/OR HIGHWAY SPEEDS!!!!!!
