    In-car Electronics

    Infotainment system (audio, GPS, phone), rear entertainment system, backup or other camera/sensors, head-up display.

    What Owners Say

    Display screen freezes up

    "It started as an intermittent problem with just the screen freezing up, but then the back up camera stopped working, I couldnt change the radio station or sync my phone. All of the problems Ive had with this vehicle were attributed to the APIM and as soon as it was replaced, the problems went away. That being said the first time I had problems with it the car was out of warranty, but Ford replaced the part. I just had to pay labor then less than 12,000 miles later the APIM went bad again and I had to have it replaced, but this time it was under warranty. Its been three months since it was replaced and so far no problems."

    "since new in 2020 the truck has consumed oil to the tune of 2-3 qts every 5000 miles. There are no oil leaks. Problem has not been resolved, even after multiple trips to dealership while under bumper to bumper warranty (which has now expired)"

    Anonymous, MN (2020 Ford F-150 XLT 5.0-L V8)

    "In April of 2024 I got an alert on my phone letting know there was a problem with the engine. Ford technician confirmed that it was burning oil. Continued to check every 500 miles. Reset the computer system that controls the pressure in the crankcase. After 2500 miles believed the problem resolved, however engine still is burning oil. Its now August and I am still trying to find out what is going on. Fortunately it is under warranty but the worry and the time it takes to continually take the vehicle to the shop for checks is not convenient."

    What Owners Say

    Rough shifting

    "After about 10k miles the F150 started making harsh drivetrain jolting up and down shifts. Took it back to the dealership 3 times in the next 2 years. We were driving at interstate speeds when I noticed the transmission temperature rising. It started spewing transmissions fluid and locked in 8th. Third trip to the dealership seems to have cured the problem. The service manager told me the transmission had been overfilled. They corrected the level and programmed the transmission again. At this point the shifting and temperature issue seem to be resolved."

    Transmission rebuild or replacement

    "Shortly after delivery, the transmission began to slip and clunk in 3rd gear. The dealership initially claimed "they all do that." By approximately 30,000 miles, it became obvious the unit's operation was defective and the dealership properly trouble shot the issue. Problem was diagnosed as an improperly installed OEM seal. All defective parts were replaced and unit was reassembled. Within 200 miles of this fix, gears 8,9,and 10 experienced erratic shifting with 10th gear ultimately failing. Once again, the defective parts were replaced under warranty and the unit reassembled. Currently, the transmission is functioning better than before. However, it still is a subpar unit. Third gear still slips a bit and there is an audible and visceral clunk in 3rd and 6th gears. Further, there is a loud metallic rattle during low speed, hi RPM operation (ie going up a steep grade). Eventually, these discrepancies will need to be addressed under the extended power train warranty."
