ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Vehicle stalls out every 3-5 minutes after starting. Vehicle stops and will restart after start up but will only once again run for 3-5 minutes. Vehicle is a hazard on the road as well to the passengers. Local Ford Dealership and Ford Corp. both admit there is a recall (25S75) on my 2022 F-150 but are unaware of how to repair the vehicle. I am to wait until Ford develops a solution. Unwilling to provide a loaner vehicle while Ford comes up with a solution. They told me 3-6 months.

I was driving through rain on [XXX] and my truck was having trouble shifting in 4x4 mode. An error message appeared stating "4x4 Service Needed". I clicked OK and the message went away. Due to driving, I was unable to take a photo of the error message. When I called Maguires Ford where I purchased the vehicle, they told me this message meant the system could malfunction and that I needed to bring the vehicle in ASAP. At first they told me there was no history of the error message and since they could not pull a code, there was nothing they could do. After reviewing a second time, they verified the error message did appear but they could still not pull a code so there wasn't anything they could do. They said most likely the rain got into the module and caused the system to malfunction. I asked how rain would get into the module and they didn't answer the question. No further investigation was completed and they told me to take the vehicle home. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

POWER TRAIN
Jan 2025 bought a 2022 Ford F150 Lariat 3.5 eco boost with 10 speed transmission with 32,000 miles on the transmission started going out around 35,000 miles as it was shaking, shuttering, and hesitating. Took it to one dealership they had it for a couple of weeks and couldn’t figure it out and said it was normal. I told them it’s not safe to drive with as bad as the hesitation was. Decided to go to another dealership they figured out the problem fixed and got it fixed. Drove it for a week starting have issues with it shaking between gears 7-10 with the smell of burning transmission fluid in the cabin. Took it back to the dealer they had it for 3 weeks drove the truck and felt the issue I explained but told me they couldn’t fix the problem and there is nothing they can do right now. During the time of going between dealerships got in contact with Ford they made a case against the truck but have not got involved with fixing the problem. All of this does not include the 2020 F150 Lariat 3.5 eco boost I bought at the end of 23’ with 38,000 miles and at 45000 miles had Transmission issues and had to be rebuilt but never got fixed correctly so ended up having to trade it in with all of the other issues with that truck. Ford denied the buyback I applied for and refuses to fix the problem. This is a very big problem as this has been going on for a while with Fords 10 speed transmission.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Day time running lamps on the side of the headlight have burnt out. First time it was the passenger side that died, had it replaced under warranty. then a few month later after my warranty was up, the driver side has now died as well. The fact I have had this truck 2 and a half year and both have failed is unacceptable. I see every single F150 on the road with THE EXACT SAME ISSUE! This isn't a fluke or bad luck on my vehicle. From my research online, tons of others are complaining about it too. The dealership wanted $2400.00 to replace it, with what is likely another faulty light that would have the same issue in a few years. This is a hazard to myself and others because my vehicle isn't lit up like it should be so that I am visible to others on the road. Also I have had 4 or 5 water leaks in the brief time of owning this truck that ford has blamed on me. Water gets in and collects on the passenger side floorboard under the carpet. I have been without my vehicle multiple times while they attempted to get a specialist to find the issue. Had to pay for my own rental vehicle for a week because they " dont give out loaners" even when you are under warranty.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
My trucks rear light bar was repaired under the NHTSA recall 23S30. This was done in 2023 but Ford's repair did not fix the issue and the light bar continues to allow moisture in and thus the light does not work. I currently have the truck being diagnosed by Hertrich Ford of Elkton in Elkton Maryland and a case number with Ford regarding the issue. The caes number is [XXX].

POWER TRAIN
Transmission consistently shifts hard, both up and down gears, and has a constant vibration in overdrive gears at 45-55 MPH. Transmission was inspected and found to have a bad valve body which was replaced. Vibration did not subside. Within 6 months, rough shifting returned and increased in frequency and force. Down shifting at braking becomes stuttered and can cause the vehicle to continue further along due to increased torque from the down shift. Up shifting can cause sudden acceleration due to inconsistent pause between hard shifts leading to unintended acceleration.
