The trucks horn and hazard lights contiunsley goes off anytime it rains. We can be driving down the road and the truck will start going haywire, lights flashing horn won't shut off . There's been times when the truck itself wouldn't turn off even after removing the key . It's very bad wiring problem with this truck.

Both rear taillights fill up with water and shorts out the light bulbs. This makes the brake lights and turn lights non-functional. The taillights were replaced with OEM Ford parts and the new ones leaked as the previous ones. The water in the taillight assemblies could short out the wiring harness and the computer tied to it. The corrosion and rust on the wiring harness could cause fault codes up and down the wiring harness. Research online shows this is a common problem in late model Ford F-150. This problem must be fixed by Ford.

I'm writing in concern about my 2016 F150 brake lights. This concern is due to the rear break light assembly is breaking for no reason. I am on my third set of break light assembly. The driver and passenger side rear break light assembly keeps breaking on its own. There have been no accidents involving the rear end of the truck . It's becoming a safety concern . Looking to see if any other incidents have been reported. Please see attached photos of the most recent break light assembly and take note when the break light assembly clips into the truck the mounts are completely broken . The plastic where the screws would be going from the bed of the truck are severely cracked.

I have had two problems worked on by my dealer and neither of them were fixed. The first problem is a leaky oil pan which they attempted to repair the leak 3 times but it still leaks. This may not be a safety recall but I do feel like it is a hazard and I would bet there are probably 1/2 of the 2015-2017 Ford F150 owners with the 2.7 engine with the same problem. If nothing else I would say this is a environmental issue. The second problem I have reported to my dealer is the very poor vision with the back up camera at night. I had to leave my vehicle with the dealer overnight to have the problem looked at but they were not able to fix the problem and did say the night vision is not good.

THE PASSENGER SIDE LED HEADLIGHT FIRST BEGAN TO FLICKER 2 MONTHS AGO. HEADLIGHT WOULD BE ON AND THEN SUDDENLY GO OFF. THEN THE PROBLEM SWITCHED TO THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT. NOW, SOMETIMES BOTH LIGHTS GO OFF. I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PEOPLE FLASH ME AT NIGHT INDICATING THAT MY LOW BEAMS ARE STILL TO BRIGHT FOR THE OTHER DRIVERS.

THE HEAD LIGHTS ON BOTH DIM AND BRIGHT DO NOT SHINE AHEAD FAR ENOUGH TO SAFELY SEE AT NIGHT. I HAVE FRIENDS WHO HAVE 2015 MODEL YEAR OF THE SAME TRUCK AND THEY HAVE COMPLAINED TO ME ABOUT IT. AND IN BAD WEATHER THE SITUATION IS MUCH WORSE.
