Multiple times while I am driving my 2024 F250 on the highway while using cruise control, my truck's speed limit sign reading system mis-reads the 70 mph speed limit signs as a 35 mph sign and automatically activates emergency braking down to 35 mph unless I disengage the cruise control system. My local dealer confirmed the problem during a test drive, updated the software and advised the problem was solved. However, the same problem occurred several times this weed while I was driving on the highway. I believe that it is only a. matter of time until my truck causes an accident on the highway.

When Google rolled out Gemini and forced it as an interface with the Android Auto (SOLD AS A FEATURE BY FORD) it was not ready. It is still not ready. As soon as I experienced the problem with the onscreen and voice navigation integration I looked for a solution. At the time that was a rollback to the older interface, Google Assistant. I was content to just use the older interface, but Google has sent out a push notification informing everybody they are killing Google Assistant September 4th 2026. Gemini AI is still not ready. All you have to do is talk to it to find it often gives wrong results even when exact correct data is available in Google's own database. The case that broke me was trying to drive to a business location I had never been to before. Its local and I am familiar with the road layout of the area, but enroute Gemini AI kept trying to get me to go to a wrong location on a block where the street address can not exist. I have seen Google maps be wrong before, and I have seen address look ups be wrong before. This was different. It was willfully wrong. Google maps and all other lookup tools where correct. Gemini AI was taking me to a wrong location, and even when told to double check the actual data from Google Maps, or the actual data from the company's own website it insisted on taking me to the wrong location. I tried a huge array of methods to get it unbroken down to letting it know when I arrived at the correct location, that it was wrong, and it needed to correct its process. It actively argued with me. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN when your choices are to not use the navigation system at all, deal with a flakey AI that CAUSES distracted driving, or pull over along a busy roadway and manually enter everything on your cell phone with your thumbs. IT IS DANGEROUS to the point I have investigated alternatives, but Gemini is making inroads into Apple/Carplay as well. It's a real problem.

While driving, multiple warning lights illuminate simultaneously — ABS, brake, and all driver assist/safety systems — and the drive mode drops to Standard Locked. During these events the anti-lock braking, stability control, traction control, and trailer sway control systems appear to go offline. I have photographs of the illuminated warnings. My own OBD-II scan on 7/9/26 recorded U0121 (lost communication with ABS module), U0415 (invalid data from ABS module), U3035 (communication authentication failure), and U1012. The dealer's own scan confirmed multiple stored "lost communication with ABS module" codes in module history. The vehicle has a documented history of water intrusion from the sunroof drains, which the dealer was unable to reproduce or repair; water tracked to the windshield/mirror electronics and into the dash. On 7/13/26 the dealer reprogrammed the ABS module with a software update but performed no physical inspection of the wiring, connectors, or modules for water damage or corrosion. The condition is intermittent and unresolved.

The dealer had attempted to repair the recall 26C10 on my truck that tows daily. The team has attempted to fix this problem with 3 service visits and performed multiple software flashes for Recall 26C10 which have failed to fix the safety defect. The trailer module hardware is bricked. Now I’m being told the module is on national back order and they are unsure what to do next.ñ, if this is even the fix. This is a serious safety issue that makes my truck useless for towing which is a major part of our regular use.

Some 2024 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 5th wheel prep package may experience difficulty installing a 5th wheel hitch assembly to the vehicle. This may be due to the 5th wheel hitch crossmember. If replacement of the 5th wheel hitch crossmember is necessary, use service part PC3Z-5L029-A if the Ford Accessory 5th wheel hitch prep package kit (PC3Z-5F057-A) is unavailable. The Julian Date of production is shown just below the engineering part number stamped on the underside of the crossmember. The first two digits are the year and the next 3 are the day of the year. Parts produced between 11-Feb-2024 (Julian Date: 24042) and 10-Jul-2024 (Julian Date: 24192) should not be installed and should be returned through the normal parts return process. Refer to Workshop Manual, Section 502-02 for the removal and installation procedure. 4 pieces each of fasteners W506464-S439, W719967-S439, W721524-S439, and W721840-S439 are required to replace only the 5th wheel hitch crossmember. 4 pieces of fastener W718865-S439 are required to remove the fuel tank in the procedure to raise the pickup bed.

Some 2024-2026 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 360-degree camera may exhibit a distorted or corrupted 360-degree camera image in the center display screen, but the rear-view camera image is operating correctly. To restore the 360-degree camera image, download and run the "IPMA - Reset the Image Processing Module A (IPMA) Calibration Data" application using the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) scan tool. Then download and run the "IPMA - 360 Degree View Camera Alignment" application. Inform customers that they can continue to drive the vehicle and engineering is currently working on a software solution for this condition that is expected in Q1 of 2027. Replacement or reprogramming of the IPMA will not resolve this condition. Monitor Professional Technician System (PTS) for additional information and schedule service appointments for customers once the repair becomes available. <br /><br /> If a vehicle exhibits this condition, enter a vehicle identification number (VIN) and click the "Submit Global Concern Report (GCR)" link at the upper right of the PTS "Vehicle ID" screen.

This bulletin supersedes 26-2297. Reason for update: Add 2022-2025 Transit vehicles. Some of the vehicles listed in the model statement above equipped with SYNC4 may experience a blank center display screen or black center display screen after welcome animation. The rear-view camera will still function when shifting the vehicle to reverse under these conditions.

Some 2023-2026 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a trailer brake control module and built on or before 08-May-2026 may exhibit a "Trailer Disconnected" message after cycling the ignition off and back on with a trailer connected. This may be due to the presence of an integrated battery charger on a trailer equipped with electric over hydraulic brakes. If trailer functionality is restored after unplugging and plugging the trailer connector back in while the ignition is on, this condition can be corrected by downloading and performing the "Trailer Brake Configuration" application using the latest software version of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) scan tool. For claiming, use causal part 19H332 and labor operations 12651D and 12651D4.

For 20202026 vehicles equipped with the 10R140 transmission, a new Transmission Clutch Circuit Leak Test has been introduced in the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS). This test utilizes the pressure and vacuum transducer (PVT) when available. Workshop Manual (WSM) updates related to this diagnostic procedure are planned for release in Q4 2026. The new test improves the accuracy of detecting leaks within transmission fluid circuits and replaces the previous air check method. The previous air check procedure has been shown to produce a high rate of false positives, which may lead to unnecessary repairs when no actual leak is present. Accordingly, the air check procedure is not to be used for diagnosing internal transmission hydraulic leaks or as justification for transmission replacement.
