UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I bought my 2023 F150 August 31 2023 and a few days later with just 600 miles on it the air conditioner quit working. We were traveling and turned it off for a couple hours and when turned back on it worked. Called the salesman and he said there have other incidences. Today 7/01/24 it happened again, and opening the hood I saw that the air conditioning lines were frozen. If this issue with fan not blowing when needing the defroster there could be safety issues driving in freezing precipitation. Dealer could not replicate so said there was no problem. There were no warning lights with regard to this problem.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
When I use the cruise control and set it at a speed, it will maintain that set speed for a period of time and then the set speed will randomly jump up 10 to 20 miles an hour and reset the speed faster. So if I set it at 70 miles an hour. It jumps up to 80 or 85 and once even jumped up to 90 mph. The first time I told this to a Service person they told me that’s normal. The car went in and supposedly they fixed it, but it is still doing it.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The 360 camara does not always come on for several minutes after starting up. This prevents me from using the bachup canera and therefore I ciuld run over something or somebody when backing out of my garage or out if a parking spot. I have taken the truck in to to different dealers and all they say is they can't duplicate the problem. I even show them a viseo of it happening to me but say they have to see it to fix it. I see all of the ford SUV's are on recall, so wht aren't the F150's? This is a very dangerous situation that needs to be corrected asap. I swe many owners on tge internet with the same problem. Please help!

POWER TRAIN
I recently took my truck to the dealer because I have been experiencing a clicking and rattling noise that I believe is coming from the drivetrain. The service adviser stated to me , "According to Ford , this is a normal condition and there is nothing to be fixed." The same problem/condition that I am experiencing is described in NHSTA Campaign ID 23V896000 which appears to be Ford Recall # 23S65. What should I do ?

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Component: Air conditioning system. - Safety: A/C failure in summer heat conditions over 90 degrees. - This a known Ford issue with thousands of complaints and not resolution. Ford does not want to repair issue. - Ford dealership - Symptoms: AC blower can be heard ramping up but no air is coming through the vents. ** This an on-going issue with Ford that they are failing to rectify. My 2023 Ford F-150 has less than 7k miles and the A/C has already stopped functioning. The compressor and A/C components are freezing up and not allowing air into the cabin. This is a safety issue when temperatures are in the 90's in the south. Ford has not taken responsibility and has failed to correct the problem. There are several blogs and complaint websites with consumers complaining about the same issues. Something must done. I made an appointment and Ford did not want to repair. Please take action and issue a recall.

POWER TRAIN
About two blocks after leaving my house I made a right turn from a stop sign into a heavily traveled street. I completed the turn and while the truck was upshifting it got stick in a lower gear around 20 MPH in traffic and would not upshift causing the engine to rev around 5,500 RPM's. After a few taps on the accelerator pedal it finally shifted and I was able to resume to normal speed. The above situation could have resulted in an accident.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
The contact owns a 2023 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal became soft while attempting to stop the vehicle. The contact examined the vehicle and discovered that the brake fluid reservoir was empty, and the brake line fitting was not properly secured, causing brake fluid to leak from the brake lines. The brake line fitting was secured by the contact and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 3,000.

STEERING
My car should have been included in the recall to replace the heated steering wheel with this vehicle. Ford has decided that because they did not put a heating element in my steering wheel yet I got charged the $4000 for it and only got $140 credit. I do not think that is fair and should get it upgraded as the 2023 Ford F150 have except for my truck

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:TV/RADIO/SPEAKERS
I was in the process of turning onto a two lane road when all of a sudden I heard an incredibly loud noise, much like speakers blowing out that seemed to be progressively getting louder. I remained calm. I tried to turn down volume on the speakers and it would not stop the loud sound. I put the truck in park and turned off the truck. That did not work so I turned it on and off again and the noise stopped. The volume was not working at all after this happened. I was completely confused because I didn't understand what happened or why. The sound was excruciating and fortunately when this happened I was able to safely put the truck in park and turn it on and off. If I were in traffic or driving that would probably not be possible. I can see this easily causing an accident if someone is in traffic and panics. I immediately called the dealer after this happened. They said they had not heard of this happening before. I presented them with this article I found in the WSJ - "Ford Confronts Strange, Ear-Piercing Static in F-150 Trucks, Drivers have complained to federal regulators of abnormal noise coming from the vehicle’s speakers", By Ryan Felton & Nora Eckert. This article states the noise was recorded so loud as to damage hearing. There are many complaints about this happening online as well and something should be done. This is without question a safety issue and there should be a mandatory recall.

I was driving at about 40mph and everything shut off for about 5 seconds. It was long enough for all the gages on the instrument cluster to go to their off positions. The desolation screen went blank as did the infotainment system and all lights.

Harsh downshifts in 10R80 transmission. Unpredictable shifting. Significant clunking while driving. Vehicle less than 1 year old and I bought it brand new. Issue has been happening since I bought it. Ford dealer ran TSB 24-2070 software update on it yesterday. This transmission is dangerous in my opinion and Ford should be held accountable. No warning signs, nothing at all. Dealer claimed there were no DTC’s stored. Ford should be replacing this transmission and fixing the problem.

the blower in my Truck seems to be malfunctioning. while the AC or heater will turn it when first started, approx. 20 minutes into driving and it quits blowing. you can hear it blowing but nothing comes out of the vents. this first happened at 300 miles while running the heater and I had no defrost! I repeatedly had to stop and wipe down the windshield in order to see! when sent in for repair they kept truck for 1 week. no error codes showed. Service tech told me I didn't know how to run the AC correctly. today I carried it in again with same complaint and they said they might get it into service in couple of weeks but made no attempt to schedule an appt. again, they made me feel as though I did not know what I am talking about. there are many forums online with same issue and no resolution.

The ac fan is blowing but no air is coming out looked on line there are a lot of people with same problem but when you cut the truck off and restart it the ac works fine his problem only occurs various sporadic but dealerships and Ford will not fix it because when they look at it, it does not do the issue. The issue does not come up. It is not a on-demand issue. There are no codes online flap sensor that allows the air to come through, Ford wants to leave the truck for 3 to 4 weeks and then when they start it don’t do it then you’re just been without your truck for no reason whatsoever to recall so you actually have your vehicle fixed thank you thank you

Transmission jerking, harsh shifting, clunking, lunging, and hesitating. I have taken this truck to Hagerstown Ford for repair. They advised they were able to duplicate the problem and found the transmission was 1.5 quarts low on fluid. I have driven the truck a few hundred miles since and the issues are still there. I also understand Ford is having issues with the 10R80 transmission and there have been recalls but mine is not applicable. I have also had two occasions with the park brake not fully releasing and getting a service park fault now appearing on the dash. They said there were no codes, and everything is, ok?
