2019 FORD F 150

What owners reported to NHTSA, ranked by how often and how seriously.

This is complaint data, not a random sample.

It only includes owners who chose to file a federal complaint, so it over-represents dramatic and safety-related problems and under-represents minor issues an owner just had fixed without reporting. Read this as what NHTSA complainants report most, not as this vehicle's true failure rate. Full methodology.

Recall-sized clusters

These are large batches of near-identical complaints (recall notifications, service campaigns), kept separate from the ranking above so they don't drown out individually-reported problems.

Not matched to any cluster below: every campaign NHTSA has on file for this exact make/model/year is 18V894000, 19V278000, 19V633000, 19V805000, 20V097000, 22V252000, 24V852000, 25V442000, 26V373000. This is a vehicle-wide list, not an attribution - see below for which clusters have a real, complainant-cited match.
