Unknown or Other · reported Oct 27, 2026
Rear View/Backup Camera Camera freezes when vehicle is moving in reverse. The frozen image leads me to think I am farther away from objects or people than I really am. The vehicle has had the associated recall completed without success and has been in Ford dealership shops six other times to try to fix the issue, again, without success. The problem has been happening since day one of owning the vehicle.
Engine · reported Oct 14, 2026
I’ve been noticing that when I am on the freeway and I am increasing my speed to highway speed and between 55 mph to 65 mph the vehicle vibrates like possible suspension issue. This morning at about 2:13 AM when I had just got to a stop sign and my foot was physically on the break. I noticed that the engine revved up so because I was concerned I made sure I stayed where I was with my foot on the break until the engine came back down to the proper idle.
