11750676 Following a software update by Ford in the past 6-8 months, upon start-up my vehicle asks me which drive mode I wish to be in but then after 15-45 seconds "forgets" my answer and changes drive modes
11750210 Following an over-the-air software update in November 2025, my truck will not stay in the drive mode I select. At every startup the vehicle prompts me to confirm Sport mode and I select Yes
11750342 However sometime in November the truck received an OTA update that has introduced a bug that causes the truck to make an uncommanded return to the Normal drive mode

11746670 As I was rolling slowly back, the truck started to accelerate on its own, I had not increased pressure on the pedal

11661114 Folding shifter issues with many F150s. Gets stuck in park or drive
11660586 Gear Shifter stuck in D with amber light blinking constantly. At the same time, the Amber Wrench symbol appeared on the dash, with "Service vehicle soon" warning message
11618002 The vehicle moved forward with the shifter set in reverse. My safety and the safety of others was put at risk because the vehicle moved in the opposite direction from that indicated both by the position of the shifter and by the audible backup warning
Backup and surround-view camera image qualityUNKNOWN OR OTHER2 complaints2024-12 → 2025-03f-150-lightning-2024-camera-quality
11649103 My vehicle has a broken backup camera (extremely blurry, barely or unusable). It has not functioned properly since the vehicle had about 2,500 miles on it, around 15 December 2024
11629247 The cameras are of poor quality and are often blurry, including the 360 view. Cleaning the lenses does does resolve the issue
