Vehicle was stationary in parking lot. Truck bed illumination lights on third brake light assembly over heated and melted third brake light assembly. The lights come on when the doors are open, and there is no way to turn them off without closing the doors.

Since june 2018 i began to notice a smell inside the cabin of my truck. The smell can be described as a wet gym sock and seemed to come around when i used the a/c. I took the truck into my local ford dealership to see if they could locate the source of the smell. They thought it was coming from my a/c unit and checked the drain hose and found nothing, but said it was probably mildew in the house. They sprayed the…

The "third brake light" is melting due to excess heat put off by the bulbs.not only is the housing melting but it has allowed large amounts of condensation in when it rains. This problem was first noticed roughly a year ago but continues to get worse. Ford not only wants to charge me for a repair but they plan to use the same part which i have personally seen with the same issue in about a dozen 2015 f150s as well…

Truck has led tail lights which produce poor illumination especially in reduced visibility driving conditions. Other drivers report they can barely see my truck when driving in rain or snow. Brake/turn lights are fine, it is just the rear tail lights that are a safety issue.

Any modern vehicle with a "virtual gauge cluster" (ie no actual gauges w/ backlight) automatically has the gauge cluster lit up. This poses fatal consequences at night when the driver doesn't realize that their headlights aren't on, because their gauge cluster is already pre-illuminated. I have nearly been run over three times by other cars driving without their headlights on, but with a bright virtual gauge…

Low beam headlights incredibly dim. The fog lights appear to put out more light than the low beam headlights. I seriously thought the headlights weren't on they were so dim. At 60 mph, the driver is over driving the amount of light coming from the low beam headlights. Very dangerous to drive the f150mat night! I called the local ford dealer to ask if there are any brighter bulbs and they said no and to look at after…

The image in the driver side rear view is distorted into dual or blurred image. It is difficult to capture while moving, but is, escalated when multiple vehicles and lanes are present. Escalated even further in inclement and night driving conditions. The spot mirror is integrated with the main rearview mirror further distracting the driver from the road ahead as well as points to the same line of horizon that proves…

Lately i have been doing more driving at night and i have found when i am behind a new f150 the running lights are very hard to see. All you can see from the rear of the car is a hint of red a the bottom and top of the light, unless you are looking at the car from a side angle the rear running lights are pretty much useless. I almost hit a black f150 the other day when it was raining hard, because i couldn't see its…
