When I started the engine at a I-10 rest stop there was no instrumentation, no speedometer, no gas guage, no turn signal, no indication of drive mode P R N D M, nothing. I think I had brake lights. I had to drive over 60 miles on I-10 and then to a Walmart. I was pulling an Airstrean trailer. After turning off the ignition and removing the key there was some illumination on the screen so I disconnected the battery to avoid being stranded. The next day when I stsrted the truck, all the instrumentation came back. As a result the Ford service department had no codes to read. Three weeks kater I lost cruise control for several days during the trip. When I got to a Ford service department the cruise control was working again. Twice before that the truck had dropped out of cruise control on it's own. No codes.

The entire infotainment screen system and camera failed, it was completely blacked out, "Dead". This not only made the radio completely non-functional, but also cut off the backup camera and backup sensor safety systems. The safety of both myself and others was now at risk as this important feature of the camera and screen system failed to display surroundings of the driver and pedestrians and also failed to alert drivers with a beep of anything nearby the rear of the truck. Due to the safety concern I immediately scheduled an inspection at my local authorized Ford service center. This malfunction has been confirmed by an Authorized Ford dealer and service center on 11/04/2021. The system failure was duplicated upon inspection by the Ford service technician. The diagnosis found code for internal codes to hardware pinpoint test. Tech will need to remove and install new modules and re test. Remove and install new camera. Since these parts needed to be ordered, and for safety concerns, the vehicle remained at the Ford dealership for 5 days until repaired. After the new module and camera was installed, the system is now working for the price of $1243.99 parts and labor. There were no warnings of this important safety part of the vehicle dying, however we noticed in the days leading up to the total failure the infotainment system was running slower and failing to boot up properly at times.

Front cameras, rear camera and 360 cameras became blurry even after cleaning lenses. Progressively getting worse as the resolution quality deteriorates which makes it a safety hazard. The gps navigation and control main screen freezes intermittently making the touch screen inoperable

Adaptive cruise control randomly fails. Has failed 25 times since sept 19, 2020
