Each time a manufacturer includes more convenience features, they are essentially introducing more potential points of failure, leading to higher chances of costly repairs for you. The power running boards in the 2016 Ford F-150 are no exception. While they don't fail significantly more than other vehicles with similar features, they are more prone to issues compared to a truck without them. The most common problem reported by drivers is binding, which can be resolved with a silicone-based spray lubricant. Additionally, there is a risk of motor failure, often due to overheating, with a replacement costing over $300. If the wiring is damaged, while still inconvenient, it could be a more cost-effective repair compared to replacing the motor.
