Ford in trouble, the new model creates grattacopes | The calls for a hidden defect.

The Ford brand ends up again in trouble with the new engines that create many scratchers and that bring the stain of the call.

They say this is the time for hyperconnex and intelligent cars, In short, those who know how to know more than us. Too bad that all this tech development is not that it has always colored with the ability of the car manufacturers to be able to give their own.

More and more often technological development ends up being a problem for car manufacturers and reflection for the motorists themselves.

Among the giants of this market, there is certainly no lack of Ford, one of the historical and reliable names of the world automotive scene, yet she too, seems to have stumbled in technology and in what are the borders that it places us. Just in these days the calls that are making everyone’s discussions have arrived, from dealers to consumers.

It would be 56,000 vehicles already registered and that ended up in the center of the cyclone, all because of a defect that might seem completely negligible, but which instead affects the safety of the vehicle, an element on which the utmost attention is paid.

A defect that could go unnoticed

We know well how much the security actually ended up at the center of the attention of all the experts in the automotive sector. Every single element of the cars must be controlled with maximum attention, whether it is a functionality that should be able to offer greater safetyup to the sound signals that the car launches when there is a malfunction or similar. In the spectrum of a series of characteristics that cars must have to be able to be safe, even the simple acoustic warning of the seat belt can cause a series of scratchers.

A problem that does not concern nor a mechanical component, much less a structuralbut a sound that would be linked to a software anomaly. It seems that there has been an incorrect configuration of the system that in specific conditions prevents the correct functioning of the sound signala malfunction on which it will be necessary to intervene quickly.

This is the offending model

For those who want to understand if their vehicle is also involved, Ford has already activated an online platform where to insert the Vin code (Vehicle identification number) and immediately get a response. In particular, the vehicle involved in the maxi call is one of the most iconic and above all one of those on which the greater attention is paid, namely the Ford F-150 Powerboost, the hybrid version of the famous pick-up, designed to combine power, technology and environmental respect.

In particular, the problem would be the powerboosts produced between May 2024 and June 2025 for the US market. It seems that in these specimens, if the 12 volt battery is downloaded or tries an interruption and current in the audio system, the belt signal does not start. All this because of an anomaly in the software provided by Visteon, a habitual partner of Ford. A nice scratcape for what is considered the most avant -garde engine, that is, the 3.5 -liter V6 EcoBoost, with all -wheel drive, electric motor and consumption contained for its category.
