My wife and children we driving when smoke appeared from the engine area, the engine warning lights came on and the engine lost power, the cab filled with smoke from the vents as she got the truck to the side of the road and used one fire extinguisher that we had in the truck others came and helped extinguish with water as well as police and fire dept. A police report is filed as well as a insurance claim and I have asked for a fire investigation, there is a serious problem with this vehicle. Note: This vehicle was just at 5 star ford for recall updates and no issues were noted.

ELECTRONIC TAILGATE OPENS UP ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR WHILE PARKED. I NEARLY LOST MY CARGO DUE TO THIS WHICH WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, I INJURED MY HAND WHEN THE TAILGATE OPENED ON ITS OWN AND WAS PINCHED BETWEEN THE TAIL GATE AND TRAILER JACK. NOTHING BONES WERE FRACTURED BUT WAS REALLY SORE AND HAD BRUISING AND LACERATION. I FOUND ONLINE HOW THIS WAS PREVIOUSLY INVESTIGATED IN THE 2017 FORD SUPER DUTY BUT NO RECALL WAS ISSUED. I HAVE A 2019 SUPERDUTY AND WAS INJURED AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I HAVE HAD THE TAILGATE OPEN ON ITS OWN 12 TIMES NOW AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY SPECIFIC ACTION/CONFIGURATION THAT TRIGGERS THIS. IT IS TOTALLY RANDOM. PLEASE HELP

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2019 Ford F-250 Supercab verdict →
