I am experiencing a fuel smell in my vehicle when I cold start it in the morning. I took it to the dealership and they could not identify the smell but claimed that if I call Ford customer service they might be able to escalate the issue. Ford customer service just said there is nothing they can do until the recall Campaign 25S76 is done but it is currently on pause even though it was issued 7/16/25 and it is currently 10/23/26. I said that these is a safety issue since Ford has identified that it can lead to the engine igniting which has happened to 8 vehicles according to Ford. They said they recommend waiting for the recall to happen despite my safety concerns on a known flaw with the veh

I’m reporting that this vehicle has been under recall literally since I purchased it over 4 years ago. It has a potential fire issue with the fuel injector, which several trips to the dealership have not fixed it. Ford sends a letter out once a year and says they’ll let me know when they have a fix. I keep a fire blanket stuffed into my glovebox and I’d like to know why over 4 years isn’t long enough to fix it! NHTSA Recall #25V467 This recall used to show up in my Ford app, but they removed it some time ago. Like that would fix the problem!

Water is entering the vehicle and dripping onto the interior floorboards, particularly when the air conditioning is running.This has caused growth of mold and rust inside the vehicle. The vehicle has developed multiple dashboard warning lights, and the turn signals and windshield wipers have stopped functioning. Most concerning, the steering wheel has locked while the vehicle was in motion, leaving me unable to steer even though the engine remained running.This created a serious and immediate safety hazard. The vehicle has since become inoperable and will no longer start. The source of the water intrusion and the underlying causes of the electrical and steering failures have not been confirm

The rear drive unit (RDU) deteriorated at 78k miles. I began to notice a shudder during low-speed turns with high steering angle. Upon inspection, metallic flakes were discovered in the RDU’s fluid, apparently indicating mechanical degradation of the internal clutch packs. Two separate Ford dealerships recommended complete RDU assembly replacement at a significant expense. I am concerned that an important drivetrain component could deteriorate this quickly, from normal driving use. I believe this could result in wheel drag/lockup or seizure while operating the vehicle. I have not experienced it yet and I’m not sure whether a total mechanical failure would cause it either. Ford has numerous t
