2024 Ford F-250 Sd

Vehicle: 2024 Ford F-250 Component: STRUCTURE – SUNROOF/MOONROOF Summary: While driving at highway speed (~75 mph) on I-75, the twin-panel moonroof suddenly exploded outward with a loud bang. All glass was expelled upward/outward; no glass fell into the cabin or onto the sunshade. No vehicles nearby, no overpasses, no impact evidence on paint/roof, no strike point visible on remaining glass edges. Vehicle has a documented history of three prior dealership repairs/adjustments for leaks and alignment issues with the sunroof assembly at Sam Galloway Ford. Ford has denied warranty coverage twice, citing "radiating cracks" and claiming tempered glass cannot explode outward without external influence, despite zero physical evidence of impact and despite the prior misalignment repairs being a known cause of stress fractures in tempered glass. This is a serious safety defect — the explosive failure at highway speed created a sudden open roof and loud detonation that could have caused loss of vehicle control.

The contact owns a 2024 Ford F-250. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel inadvertently turned the vehicle to the right. Additionally, there was play in the steering wheel. Due to the failure, the contact was pulled over by police for DUI. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who performed an alignment, but the failure persisted, and the vehicle began pulling to the left while driving. The contact was made aware by the Ford App that there were two repair work orders for electrical and steering failures prior to purchasing the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a second dealer, Lorenzo Ford (30725 South Federal Highway, Homestead, FL 33030), for a second alignment and transmission reprogramming after a battery replacement, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who performed a third alignment, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was then taken back to Lorenzo Ford (30725 South Federal Highway, Homestead, FL 33030); however, no diagnostic trouble codes were retrieved, and dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 28.

2024 F250 Super Crew Cab, Single Rear Wheel, King Ranch. While driving on clearly marked highway, Lane Centering immediately begins to "Ping=Pong" or oscillate between clearly marked highway center and shoulder lanes markings. It is not a slow oscillation and if allowed to go unchecked for more than 2-3 complete side to side oscillations will go out of the lines and onto the shoulder. I haven't actually timed the oscillations but I estimate about 4-9 seconds from engaging the system to completion of one oscillation cycle (from center of lane to the left or right line, then over to the other, and back to center). I understand that this is not a "self-driving" feature, but the best thing about this feature is the ability to turn it off. It is a safety hazard, especially if it is engaged near a roadway edge and immediately overcorrects. I looked on multiple internet forums to see if this was an isolated incident and was disappointed to see that it seems to be a fairly common issue. I was surprised to not find anything on the NHTSA website.

My vehicle instrument cluster is glitching and blacking out occasionally. I saw NHTSA recall campaign number: 25V-540 which is for 2025 vehicles but mine is a 2024. Maybe this recall should be expanded to 2024 models as well. It has been happening since I had the vehicle and has been reported to the shop twice. The last time I went they offered to reload the software but I need to get that done when I am free.

What Happened: My 2024 Ford F-250 developed a coolant leak. The coolant lines run along the frame, and when I brought it to the dealership, they said the bent lines and leak were caused by “road debris” and refused warranty coverage. They claimed mud on the undercarriage meant I was off-roading. I only drive on normal gravel roads, and the truck had been parked for around three weeks before the leak appeared after a short drive around town. I did not hit anything. The placement of the coolant lines may make them vulnerable to minor debris in normal driving conditions. Dealer Experience: I also experienced dismissive treatment by the service advisor. When I arrived and said my pickup was leaking antifreeze, the advisor said, “Are you sure it’s not water?” The tone felt dismissive and made me feel like I wasn’t being taken seriously. Safety Concern: A coolant line damaged under normal driving conditions could lead to overheating and engine failure without warning. If these lines are routed in a location easily struck by road debris, this could be a design vulnerability. Outcome: I left the dealer due to lack of confidence in their diagnosis and had the repair done elsewhere. The other shop documented the bent line and leak. I want this recorded in case other owners report similar issues.

The trucks electronic system is all messed up. The temperature for Fahrenheit shows at time to be 142,165 which we know is not correct. Then while driving the dash displays a message that truck is going to shut off and it does while we are are still driving. Dash will display that we have a trailer hitched on when we do not. Many different alerts show up on the dash while in drive mode. We bought the truck brand new and it barely even has 18,000 miles on it.

Slight vibration at highway speed accompanied by faint grinding noise. Ford installed front auto locker to only one front wheel and a dummy full time locker to right front wheel in non trimmer 2024 f250 and f350s. They know the problem because they issued a tsb 52423 but do not contact truck owners of issue. Having only one locker makes the right side front axel spin at highway speeds and cause noise, vibration and unequal drag on the two front wheels causing the vehicle to drift to the right. Ford knows this, as evident by them going back to two locking auto hubs on 2025 models. My bigger concern is what happens in 100k k miles when the front differential being warn out by the highway speeds fails and locks up the front differential and suddenly locks the front right wheel and potentially sends the 7000 lb vehicle in an uncontrollable right turn. I am currently working with walker Ford to correct this issue with my truck. In my opion, this is a huge safety issue because Ford is aware of this problem but is not notifying owners of the issue with an official recall. Needed fix, replace right dummy locker hub with functional hub like the left side ( part number HC3Z3B396A $260), instal replacement volume line (part number HC3Z3C124B $51) if said truck does not already have one, and finally install 6 in vacume line (part number HC323C125C $6) to the front right hub. In my opion, Ford should be held fully liable for the human safety implications down the road if they continue to ignore this proplem.

The contact owns a 2024 Ford F-250 SD. The contact stated that while the dealer was performing a routine service on the vehicle, the dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was designed with 2 different 4-Wheel Drive hubs, a driver's side automatic hub and a passenger's side dummy hub. The contact was concerned that the design could reduce fuel efficiency. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 18,000. The VIN was not available.
