The failure of the APIM has completely disabled the Rearview Backup Camera, which is a federally mandated safety feature (FMVSS No. 111). Operating a heavy-duty F-250 without a functional backup camera creates a significant blind-spot hazard and an immediate safety risk to pedestrians and property. King Ford has confirmed the failure. Service Director Jamie Churchwell has acknowledged the damage as "Consequential Damage" resulting directly from the attempted software update for Safety Recall 22S35. It is currently being reviewed by the Ford District Parts and Service Manager (as reported by the dealer) for a "Related Damage" warranty claim . The vehicle’s screen and backup camera were functioning perfectly prior to the recall service. The failure occurred at the dealership during the application of the manufacturer’s recall software update.

Vehicle has 44,000 miles, has never been wrecked in any way. Recently the advance trac system began displaying a fault at random. The light would come and go. At the time the fault light was active the turn signals did not operate normally. A message noted to service advance trac system. ( which is related to the abs) I noticed, once, the abs activate momentarily for no apparent reason. I narrowed the fault down to the steering wheel angle sensor. I had a Ford service center confirm the issue was the steering angle sensor. The sensor was on a backorder. I called around and other dealers confirmed. A week later while entering a cloverleaf and slowing down the system faulted, illuminated the error, and the abs activated. The brake system applied brakes unevenly pulling the vehicle to the left then right and aggressively slowing down without driver brake input. I had to fight to control the vehicle to prevent losing control or get rear ended. The roads were clean, dry, and it was daylight. Upon that i could see the complete loss of steering wheel angle sensor input. The dash can show this readout. Without the steering wheel angle input the system, which is to prevent accidents, nearly caused one. I tried turning off the advance trac via the traction control button, this was ineffective. I had to remove the abs pump fuse to get home safely. This system should not in any way be able to cause this severe loss of vehicle control simply due to the loss of one sensor. This is absolute unsafe software protocall. Attatched are images of the sensor reading then no place holder for it when it does not read.

When I drove over 50mph and hit any bump the front of the truck shakes wildly. Online says DEATH WOBBLE. This has been going on for 4 months. When taking my children to school 20+ miles away on the highway this has happened several times to and from school on the same day. Other vehicles move out of my line to avoid me while I slow the truck to under 45 mph. They are scared and nervous about getting to school safely. My mother and wife refuse to drive the truck after experiencing this while driving. The fuel injector now also has a problem. The truck is going in to be serviced for the failing fuel injector and death wobble hopefully today if Waldorf MD Ford has openings I am awaiting a call back. It has not been inspected yet only diagnostic at AutoZone showing the fuel injector error code. No warning was given prior to this happening, the truck was riding smoothly, hit a bump in the highway and went crazy. Then it did it again and again and again.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND THE TRUCK STARTED A UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE. DURING THE WOBBLE I FELT I HAD NO CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND WAS MOVING OUT OF MY LANE. FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED I ALSO TELL A FIFTH WHEEL CAMPER AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HAVING THAT KIND OF WEIGHT BEHIND ME THAT THE TRUCK WOULD FLIP AND POSSIBLY KILL ME OR SOMEONE ELSE ON THE INTERSTATE.

12/07/16 I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I DROVE IT HOME APPROXIMATELY TWO MILES TO PICK MY WIFE UP AND TAKE HER FOR A SPIN. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE THE AIR BAG LIGHT, THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT AS WELL AS THE WARNING MESSAGE FOR SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC AND TRAILER BRAKE MODULE FAULT AND THE 911 ASSIST NON OPERATIONAL. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THE RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE. THEY HAD THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT FIVE DAYS. WHEN I PICKED UP MY TRUCK BEFORE I EVEN GOT OFF THE LOT ALL THE LIGHTS AND MESSAGES CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIPS OTHER LOCATION AND THEY HAD IT ROUGHLY THREE WEEKS. THEY REPLACED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE MASTER WIRING HARNESS AT THE INSTRUCTIONS OF FORD ENGINEERING. I DROVE THE TRUCK BEFORE HAVING ALL THE SAME THINGS HAPPEN AGAIN WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE STABILITY CONTROL/ SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC MESSAGE. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK AGAIN , THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE AGAIN. A FEW WEEKS WENT BUY AND NOW THE SAME PROBLEMS AGAIN. THIS IS THE FOURTH VISIT AND TOMORROW MARKS THE 30TH BUSINESS DAY THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP. ADD TEN MORE DAYS FOR THE WEEKENDS IT SAT THERE AND THE ONE DAY FOR WHEN THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPAIR MY LEATHER INTERIOR THAT THEY MESSED UP. THAT'S 41 DAYS AND I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD IT FOUR MONTHS YET. I'VE REQUESTED THAT THE MANUFACTURER BUY IT BACK NOW TWICE AND WAS DENIED BOTH TIMES. I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT MEET THEIR CRITERIA. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WHEN THESE LIGHTS COME ON. IT POWERS DOWN THOSE SYSTEMS MAKING THEM NON OPERATIONAL. THERE IS NO PATTERN TO THIS HAPPENING. IT CAN BE AT START UP ,SITING STILL OR MOVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE LIGHT CAN STAY ON THE ENTIRE TRIP OR JUST FLASH MOMENTARILY.
