2019 FORD F-150 — Complaint #2123757
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR filed August 25, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2123757 (ODI reference 11682846) concerns a 2019 FORD F-150 and was filed on August 25, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 1, 2025. The vehicle had 57,346 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Florida based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as engine and engine cooling:exhaust system:emission control:catalytic convertor, 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 cohort independently describe similar engine and engine cooling:exhaust system:emission control:catalytic convertor 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 2019 FORD F-150 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated, and an egg-like odor was present during start-up. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who diagnosed that the catalytic converter was faulty. The catalytic converter was reprogrammed, but the failure reoccurred. The catalytic converter was reprogrammed a second time and then eventually replaced. Later, the check engine light illuminated, and the contact was informed that the second catalytic converter was faulty. No further information was available. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 57,346.
