Ford Motor Company confirmed Friday that some electric F-150 Lightning pickup trucks currently in the hands of customers may have a battery complication that can prevent the pickup truck from shifting into drive or cause it to gradually lose power while driving.
"We monitor vehicle data to help ensure our vehicles are performing as expected in the field. We have identified that (in) some vehicles, their high-voltage battery is not performing as intended, which could result in a performance degradation," Martin Gunsberg told the Detroit Free Press.
The automaker is aware of an estimated 100 vehicles potentially affected but Ford cannot definitively say how many more may have a faulty battery because these issues are detected through vehicle data monitoring, Gunsberg said.
From Phoebe at the Free Ford Press, even she couldn’t bury this.
