2020 FORD F-150 Structurebody Problems

On [XXX] I took the truck to Ford dealer after noticing the front floor passenger side carpet was wet and door locks and electronic tire pressure indicator failed to operate correctly. Ford service dept found a/c drain was letting water back into passenger compartment and caused body control module (bcm) failure. Bcm was replaced after 2 1/2 months in the service dept. Returned on 8/26/24, 9/18/24, and 10/22/24 for same water intrusion problem. Different repair done on 10/22/24 to remedy problem. Service dept contacted Ford national office and learned this was considered a design flaw by Ford. Expected a recall will be issued. Remedial treatment for mold was applied because I had been smelling a vinegar smell in the truck cab which is typical smell for presence of mold. This is the primary safety issue I believe exists, but failure of body control module could cause other safety problems. ....

Right door lock actuator/latch not able to lock or unlock. Similar to current recall for f150 raptors same generation model but 1-4 years older.

My 2020 ford truck driver side door locks freeze when temperatures get below freezing. When this happens the door does not open and when I open it from the inside the door doesn’t latch. I have to use a bungee cord to hold the door closed if I’m going to use the vehicle. Also the rest of the doors don’t lock when driving the vehicle. I believe other year ford trucks have had this issue and they also were recalled for a fix. I have had the truck to the dealer several times with no luck. The last time when the truck was under warranty they replaced the door lock actuator which didn’t help. I believe this is very much a safety issue and I shouldn’t even be driving this truck but I need it.

The contact owns a 2020 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving 50–55 MPH, the fiberboard cover and fiber shield detached from underneath the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to reattach the fiber shield and cover. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was 30,000. The VIN was not available.

The sunroof will leak through both the rear passanger seatbelt assembly which could damage the integrity of the seatbelt and/or seatbelt mount. Additionally, water will come out of the microphone/sunroof controls above the driver, which can cause the driver to become distracted and/or momentarily visually impaired. There are multiple posts in forums about this issue and I think it should be addressed by the NHTSA.

The power tailgate opened and dropped down, on its own, while driving the truck, approximately 45mph.

The tail gate lowered on its own while we were driving down a high way and towing our camper. It dented the propane tanks and shifted the hitch system in addition to totaling the tail gate.

PURCHASED MY F150 NEW AND FROM THE DEALER AND THE FRAME WAS OIL SPRAYED TO PREVENT CORROSION AND RUST BEFORE TAKING THE VEHICLE HOME. TRUCK NOW SITS JUST UNDER 8,000MI AND THE REAR AXLE AND A GOOD PORTION OF FASTENERS ARE ALL RUSTY AS IF THE TRUCK IS 15YRS OLD. THE SKID PLATE UNDER THE TRANSFER CASE LOOKS LIKE IT MAY HAVE BEEN ZINC PLATED FROM THE FACTORY BUT NOW IT'S ALL PITTED AND CORRODED AND DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A NEW TRUCK. I CAN'T HARDLY BELIEVE THAT AFTER SUCH A SHORT TIME THE UNDERSIDE LOOKS LIKE THIS AS IF THERE WAS NO PAINT APPLIED TO ANYTHING AT THE FACTORY. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF AND FIXED BY FORD.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN MY NEW FORD F-150 KING RANCH ON THE ABOVE DATE TRAVELING ON THE HENRY HUDSON PARKWAY (MANHATTAN) SOUTHBOUND. MY TRUCK WAS STRUCK IN THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR BY AN UNKNOWN VEHICLE AND CAUSED US TO SPIN OUT 2 TIMES AT 60 MPH AND HIT THE CENTER CONCRETE DIVIDER ALMOST DIRECTLY HEAD ON. WE HIT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK.. THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE CANISTERS ON THE SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS OPENED AND THE POWDER WAS ALL OVER BUT THE BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I DON'T THINK THIS WAS NORMAL AND I FEEL IT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT. THERE WAS $31,000 DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE WHICH WASN'T TOTALED. IS THIS SOMETHING THAT THIS AGENCY WILL LOOK INTO FOR ME?

FORD TEAM, ON SUNDAY, JANUARY 24TH I HAD A MAJOR SAFETY MALFUNCTION WITH MY 2020 F-150 I BOUGHT THIS PAST SUMMER IN MENOMONIE WI. DESCRIPTION ON THE INCIDENT: I PULLED MY TRUCK OUT OF MY GARAGE TO PULL MY ATV TRAILER OUT. ONCE THE TRAILER WAS PULLED OUT, I STARTED MY TRUCK BACK UP AND PROCEEDED TO PULL IT BACK INTO THE GARAGE. WHILE COASTING IN, I PRESS THE BRAKES TO STOP THE TRUCK AND THE ABS KICKED IN AT THE REAR TIRES KEPT DRIVING MY TRUCK FORWARD. I ENDED UP SLAMMING INTO MY WORK BENCH WHICH IS ATTACHED TO MY BACK WALL. I REMEMBER LOOKING DOWN AT MY PEDAL AND WONDERING WHY THE TRUCK WAS STILL DRIVING FORWARD WHEN THE BRAKES WERE PRESSED. I HAVE PULLED INTO MY GARAGE HUNDREDS OF TIMES AND THIS TIME WAS NO DIFFERENT. I KNOW WHAT THE ABS FEELS LIKE AND THIS WAS NOT...

MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH VEHICLE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM. REPLACED TWICE. REAR PARKING CAMERA MALFUNCTIOING AFTER TWO REPLACEMENTS. WHENEVER THERE IS RAIN FALL WATER LEAKS INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR. THIS HAS CAUSED MAJOR RUST BUILD UP. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 3K MILES ON IT.

THE FLOOR BOARDS ON THE DRIVER SIDE IS STAYING WET AND HAS CAUSED MOLD TO FORM ON THE CARPET THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE MOLD IS NOT GOOD FOR YOUR RESPIRATORY SYSTEM.

DROVE FROM NEW JERSEY TO BROOKLYN, OVER THE VERRAZZANO PARKED AND GUESS WHAT... TAILGATE WAS OPEN WITH MY TOOLS EXPOSED? HEADING HOME NICE DRIVER IN TUNNEL MADE ME AWARE THE TAILGATE WAS OPEN. FINISHED DRIVING THROUGH TUNNEL, PULLED OVER TO CLOSE TAILGATE FOR THE THIRD TIME ON ONE DAY. *TR
