Unknown or Other · reported Oct 26, 2026
We had the recalls done on 10/15/26, and that same day the check engine light came on. The guy from the dealership came back, drove it and checked it out and it seemed fine. Just about a week later on 10/23/26 the truck went into reduced power mode while my wife was trying to merge on to the freeway. She pulled over and the truck was inoperable, so we had it towed to the dealership. Also, they let the truck sit on their lot all weekend with the windows open, and the interior got wet from the rain. Prior to having the recalls done, we have had zero issues with this truck.

Electrical System · reported Sep 22, 2026
the factory installed lead acid battery is not sufficient to support the electrical hybrid system. my vehicle died and went into deep sleep mode after 1 week of ownership ( i am the original owner). I was stranded in another state and had to call Ford roadside assistance to come jump start the battery. after approximately 4 months of consistent deep sleep mode issues ( i had since carried a jump box with me to avoid being stranded after first incident) i brought veicle to the Ford dealership and their fix was to replace the factory installed battery, which was reading low voltage, with the…
