What 180 owners told NHTSA about the 2024 Ford F-150 Supercab

While driving in Sport mode on an interstate, during descending downhill, the transmission started down shifting. At that time near the bottom of the hill was standing water on an area. It was suddenly like hitting the brakes & I hydroplaned, but luckily I never touched the brakes. The down shifting at the same time as hitting the water caused the vehicle to loose control of the road. Luckily I regained control by steering and did not wreck. There should be a safety warning on this issue or a correction in the vehicle down shifting

I was involved in a rear end collision where I was at fault. I suspect the ADAS in my 2024 F-150 malfunctioned because it did not prevent the collision. I impacted the rear of a minivan at approximately 20 mph. The ADAS did not take evasive action. Previously I have had nuisance activations of the visual and aural warnings for the pre-collision system, followed by a warning message that radar guided cruise control was not available.

Truck alerts will not "shut up." "HOLD STEERING WHEEL ! PAY ATTENTION ! all while I am holding the steering wheel / paying attention. Turning the wheel (from edge of lane to edge of lane) won't stop it. Accelerating didn't stop it. Then truck taps brakes hard, then puts on flashers, then slows down to ZERO mph. Doesn't matter if you have a "Blue Cruise" subscription or not. Get the bogus alerts either way. The Blue Cruise v1.2 is horrible. The local Ford dealer owner and the service manager have had the EXACT same issue in other vehicles (and my truck). One suggestion was to "just turn off the tech" (the safety features I paid for and want) so I don't get the alerts. That's not a "fix." Some people are putting ankle weights on their wheel to stop the alerts. This is a widely known issue. I have asked to speak with a Ford "corporate engineer" on this. DENIED. Send separate certified letters to the CEOs of both Ford and Lincoln about this. Response? NO RESPONSE. Local dealer has helped as much as they could. They recognize the issues, can replicate the issues, but say they have no fix for it. It's also same issue on 2025 Lincoln Aviator (have a friend with same complaints) and the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus (my wife bought one...same issues, Lincoln dealer, same owner as my local Ford dealer, could not fix, and Lincoln bought it back). PLEASE CALL ME at [XXX] to discuss. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Three incidents happened with this vehicle. When I put the car on reverse and reversed and stopped, the gear was then put on drive and before the accelerator was stepped on the vehicle propelled itself at a very high speed and I had to emergently step on the brakes before it hit anything. The the front collision warning did not come on and the vehicle did not brake on its own. The same thing happened in our driveway and before we could apply the brakes the vehicle crashed into a tree. This time also the front collision warning did not come on and the vehicle did not brake and went and hit a tree. There was a video that captured this incident and was shown to our Ford dealership and they did not do anything about it. We told them that the vehicle accelerates by itself and is a safety hazard. Since this did not involve any other vehicle or pedestrian the hazard was limited only to ourselves, The insurance was charged more than 10,000 to fix the damages and we also had to pay a deductible of 1000. More importantly we are unaware if this has been reported by others and can cause serious injuries to the driver, occupants of the vehicle and other who may be involved inadvertenly. Any death caused will become the responsibility of the driver even though this was not the mistake of the driver.

I was in a accident where I was going a okay speed in traffic where suddenly the car in front of me brakes and my emergency brakes did not activate so I had to slam on mines to avoid impact but the car behind me hit me causing me to impact the car in front and with no airbag deployment from impact in back and front. Causing me later with neck and head pain.

I was attempting to leave a parking spot when while maneuvering the vehicle it suddenly and unexpectedly accelerated to a high speed into a tree. There is a police report and security video as the incident took place in a hospital parking lot. The truck is totaled and settled but insurance company not interested in liability. My wife and I were injured. I have no idea or explanation for the sudden acceleration. Nobody is investigating if there was a vehicle malfunction or not. I just want it documented somewhere in case it is happening a lot. The crash was violent and occurred from a near complete stop on a clear day with no distractions.

In 2024 Ford introduced a turn detection in the F-150 (and other Ford vehicles). This feature extends the adaptive cruise control which recognizes speed limit signs and dynamically adjusts the speed control to comply with speed limits. This added Turn Detection, detects curves that have the Yellow highway curve warning signs with the small orange suggested speed limit sign below and automatically slows the vehicle down to at or below the suggested corner speed. The vehicle slowly goes through the curve and then rapidly accelerates out of the curve back the set cruise speed. This causes a huge safety issue especially on highways with higher speed limits where the suggested corner speed is substantially below the general flow of traffic. First Example of safety issue: When driving on a highway with a higher speed limit (especially 60mph or higher) with cruise control set for example to 65mph (speed traffic is naturally flowing at), entering a corner with a suggested speed sign of 55mph causes the vehicle to brake unexpectedly bringing the vehicle from 65mph+ to 52mph rapidly. This unexpected braking cause vehicles following to be caught off guard and in multiple cases almost rear end my truck. Second Example of safety issue: When driving through canyon highways in Colorado where almost every corner has a suggested corner speed, the truck is constantly braking hard into corners and rapidly accelerating out of corners. With the corners so close together in these canyon highways it creates a situation where the truck becomes difficult to steer and keep on the road because of the numerous and rapid speed changes which is very dangerous in a canyon environment. This issue has been problematic since I purchased the truck new, this behavior is acknowledged by Ford when I took it into the dealership to get it addressed and they have indicated that the functionality is working correctly and there is nothing they can do to correct it even though it's a safety issue.

I’ve now had two major safety issues with my 2024 Ford F-150 STX. 1. September 2025 – Loss of Acceleration While Driving I was driving north at about 40 mph when my truck suddenly stopped accelerating. It felt like it went into neutral on its own. I pressed the gas and nothing happened — the truck just started coasting. There were no alerts, no warning lights, and no explanation. I had to safely pull off the road while the truck was basically free-rolling. 2. Most Recent Incident – Emergency Brakes Slamming On in an Empty Parking Lot When I was leaving a facility recently, I was driving slowly through an empty Walgreens parking lot — no cars or obstacles anywhere around me. Out of nowhere, the truck’s emergency brakes slammed on extremely hard. It didn’t just happen once — the brakes locked up five times within about a minute while I was in Drive. There were zero warning messages on the dash each time. The jolts were so violent that my son flew forward and hit the seat in front of him. My right leg slammed into the dash, and the impact was so strong I ended up in the ER afterward with severe pain on my right side.

After having the vehicle serviced by authorized dealer the brake system and electrical system displayed the same issues as it had previously. The safety braking system sent warnings and failures 3 times and I returned it to the dealership for further repairs. While driving the ABS senses a failure, along with hill assist, and the front end collision system. All of these systems sent failure warnings and made braking very difficult.

Anti lock Brake Fault and disabled Hill Start assist failure Collision waring system failure All of these occurred while driving. Luckily I was able to move the vehicle of the road and was able to avoid any accidents.

The contact leases a 2024 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the vehicle was under a trial subscription for the driver assistance system BlueCruise, which included the driver-attention system. The contact stated that while driving at night and wearing his medical eyeglasses, the BlueCruise driver-attention system failed to see through the contact's eyeglasses and could not determine that the contact was awake, which caused the vehicle to jerk several times. Additionally, the messages "Watch the Road" and "Resume Control" were displayed, and the hazard lights were engaged. The contact stated that the BlueCruise system then disengaged independently, causing the Adaptive Cruise Control, the Lake Keep Assist, and the Lane Centering Assist to disengage. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring while driving. The contact stated that the BlueCruise system automatically engaged when the Adaptive Cruise Control mode was engaged and could not be overridden. The dealer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the manufacturer for assistance. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 100.

Multiple times the acceleration has stuck and would not release when hitting the brakes. I have to stick my foot under the accelerator and lift the petal to get acceleration to stop. Without physically lifting the petal it would appear this continues indefinitely.

Blue Cruise cannot see thru my glasses at night and constantly disengages the Cruise Control. This is currently under a trial subscription and cannot be cancelled nor can you override this feature without disengaging Lane Departure or Lane Centering, both of which are “standard” features.
