Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2024 Ford F-150 owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).

After operating the vehicle normally and backing into a parking space, I stopped the vehicle and selected Park, turned the vehicle off, and exited. Before the driver's door was closed, the vehicle began to roll forward unexpectedly. I ran back to the vehicle and reentered it to regain control, with the driver's door still open and the seatbelt not fastened.

The vehicle did not behave as expected after Park was selected, creating a serious safety risk to myself and others. Several vehicle systems appeared to malfunction or fail during the incident. …
