NHTSA Complaint #11441889 — 2021 FORD F-250

Speed Control: During night driving on 11/25/2021 at 65 mpg on I-80, I released my foot from the accelerator to slowdown, BUT the F-250 failed to slow down. Upon applying the brakes, the truck slowed (a message on the dash stated I applied the brakes), BUT, upon releasing the brakes, the truck ACCELERATED. I repeated the braking solution, until I found a safe pullover. I shut the truck off & put the headlights to off from auto. Problem did not repeat, but the Blind Spot, Cross Traffic, & Airbag Faults continued as long as I had the headlights on. On 11/26/2021, I left a message with All American Ford, Paramus, NJ, Service Drive Manager. This was a VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION!. NOTE: On 10/26/2021 the 2021 F-250 began displaying errors, as logged on FORD App Display Center; “Blind Spot Detection with Cross Traffic” (Control mod comm prob), followed by “Restraints Indicator Lamp Warning” (Fault with Pass Airbag Deactivation Indicator) – This is DANGEROUS, because it INDICATED that the PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG is OFF!! Since 10/26/2021, besides the faults, the AC would just shut off, front driver & passenger side windows would not roll down/up, Automatic high beams Failed, AC temp & radio controls were inoperable. Automatic deployment of running boards Failed. Hand touch locking & unlocking Failed, thus the push button tailgate release FAILED. I took the F-250 to Tomball Ford, TX for repair. They noticed that the right rear upper portion of the taillight was cracked. Stated this was probably the issue, given the Blind Spot Indicator Module was located within the taillight assembly. I paid $1,000+ to replace, then left for NJ & the faults & other issues continued. I deduced through trial & error, that the faults & issues ONLY occurred when the HEADLIGHTS were on!
