2021 FORD F-150 HYBRID — Complaint #2048428
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ADAS:DRIVER MONITORING:CAMERA/SENSOR filed December 16, 2024
NHTSA complaint #2048428 (ODI reference 11630889) concerns a 2021 FORD F-150 HYBRID and was filed on December 16, 2024. The owner reports the failure occurred on December 6, 2024. The report was geocoded to Michigan based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as electrical system:adas:driver monitoring:camera/sensor, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD F-150 HYBRID cohort independently describe similar electrical system:adas:driver monitoring:camera/sensor failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2021 FORD F-150 HYBRID shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
Very frequent error message and bell/chime saying pedestrian warning alert system failure. It is at the dealer now for service and they are claiming that this safety device isn't covered by warranty. This happens at low speeds, doesn't happen on the highway. It is very frequent, multiple times per minute at times.
