ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:TV/RADIO/SPEAKERS
I started my 2022 F150 with B/O Audio and an extremely loud blast that sounded like a cannon shot out of the speakers. My volume dial didn't work and loud crackling and popping sounds were coming out of the tweeter speakers. This has been reported many times already. Turning the audio and the entire vehicle off did nothing. Crackling actually would continue when vehicle was turned all the way off for at least 2 minutes, which would indicate some power was still being fed to the speakers for some reason. No warning lamps/messages appeared.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
This complaint is concerning the recall 22C22 for the 2022 Ford F150 park lamps flickering, I took my vehicle in for service to get this recall performed because the recall was open, when I picked up my vehicle I was told that the recall had just been put on hold by Ford, this was around August 15, 2024. I was also told that I would be contacted by them, the dealership/service advisor when the recall was open again, this has not happened, its been several weeks and I have not heard anything back, I have called Ford and also done a live chat with them over my Ford Pass app and still have no answers. The park lamps continue to flicker to the point that one of the headlights is beginning to fail, the LED DRL are very dim or just don't light up at all anymore, these are the same lights that flicker so much and so often that they look like strobe lights, Ford is saying that this is unrelated which I firmly believe it's not accurate, the excessive flickering very likely caused the lights to fail. Now they want me to take it in to them and get it diagnosed and to replace the headlight assembly which cost well over $1200 dollars just for the part. They have failed to address the actual cause of the problem to begin with. LED park lamps should not fail on a 2 year old vehicle, in most cases LED light should last years and possibly even the life of the vehicle. I am a Master Technician for a major automotive brand and also ASE certified with over 30 years of experience and I firmly believe that the flickering will continue to damage the headlights on these vehicles.

My vehicle lurches forward at low speeds which presents a collision risk. The check engine light illuminated and I received the following alert in the FordPass app: The powertrain control system has detected the transmission fluid auxiliary pump motor did not come on when commanded. The vehicle’s Start/Stop feature may not be active when this condition is present.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
When looking under the vehicle we noticed that Ford came up with a poor design when it comes to road debris and Snow/Ice conditions in regards to sealing up the main battery connections/terminals. With normal driving on freezing days there is nothing to keep water/snow from building up on top of the "Skid plate" for the front of the battery compartment. This might be the worst attempt at covering or trying to protect a very expensive battery system from the elements. With a system such as the Lightning, we recommend a full custom skid plate replacement from the front of the front drive axle to the crossmember at the front of the battery tray.. This will involve numerous hours of work to confirm fitment and keep them as tight to the frame as possible. We also recommend trying to resolve the gaps in the wheel well opening where debris (mud/snow/water) from everyday driving can have a chance to get through the openings and again pile up onto major battery wiring components.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I’ve had 11 times back at the dealer to fix my airbag, pre-collision and battery. Ford can’t figure out the solution and keeps throwing parts at it. Already replaced my computer, computers, my wiring, harnesses, my charge port, my wiring harness for the charge port, my seat cushion for the airbags. Ford no longer knows how to fix the problem And is leaving the truck in the backyard for over six weeks now. I’m seeing multiple people having the same problem and Ford doesn’t know how to fix the problem even though they’ve reset my modules and replace them. Ford hotline doesn’t know how to solve the problem either so they’re just resetting The code and telling customers to get back in their vehicle. I found out that Ford wanted me to drive my truck for a month with a code reader with no airbags, hoping that they could find the problem but I told them no and when I said that they said I’ve already been driving it for months even though they never fix the problem Not knowing if I had airbags. Ford is willingly putting people in vehicles with no airbags, hoping the problem is fixed, but they don’t know what’s causing the problem and I’m not the only person I know five other people with the same problem.

The display becomes unresponsive randomly and driver cannot use camera to reverse the vehicle until vehicle is completed turned off, locked and unlock it and start again. This creates a safety hazard in the middle of reversing vehicle and also creates a confusion while using navigation.

Another Ford F150 Supercrew leak from the front cowling area into the passenger floorboards. This is a 2022 Hybrid F150 Supercrew built during COVID and purchased March 9, 2022. There are too many reports online of leaks due to lack of sealing components where large aluminum parts meet. For example the fender and the cowling area. This particular leak is having a dealership spend 17 book hours at $215 per hour plus parts to fix a defect in workmanship. Ford is offering to partailly pay for the fix since the vehicle is 6000 miles out of warranty. The fact it is a defect in workmanship is not a consideration. It was never sealed. Thank you

VISIBILITY/WIPER
About a year ago there was a wiper motor recall, bought jt in for that. Last few months wipers get “stuck” mid wipe for a few seconds and then rectify. Today wipers got stuck mid wipe indefinitely. I hit the button a few times and they completed the wipe. Annoying for a 2 year old vehicle , perhaps a problem with the recall replacement motors?

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The vents stop pushing air, regardless of setting, so windshield defroster does not work to clear the windshield of fog. Happens while driving and no adjustments to climate control change airflow unless I turn the car off and back on. Occurs infrequently and without clear cause. Dealership failed to reproduce the problem when I took it in.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
While driving A/C unit will slowly stop blowing cold air. It is very random when this happens and the vehicle has to sit a for a while before it starts working again. Vehicle was purchase in August 2023 and the issue did not start until about 2 months ago and has now happened 4 times. First time I drover for hours before it happened, this last time I was only driving for 20 minutes. I think this is related to the Ford TBS 22-2089. I am just over the 36,000 mile Warranty, but under the 3 year Ford Warranty, so I will probably have to pay for this out of pocket. This should be a recall for affected vehicles as this is a very expensive fix to have on a 2 year old truck that was no fault of the owners.

POWER TRAIN
I was driving on the busiest section of interstate in my city which goes up a bit of an incline. I was in the left lane. As I was going up the incline, the RPMs on my truck jumped way up and then I lost all power. My dash lit up with a red message saying "STOP SAFELY NOW" and I had no propulsion at all. There is no shoulder on the left side of this interstate and very little shoulder on the right. I had to whip over across 2 lines with zero power while I was losing speed, almost getting run into by 2 separate tractor trailers who both had to slam on their brakes and honk at me. I made it to a tiny section of shoulder up against a large retaining wall. It was so tight that the only way I could get out of my truck safely was through the passenger door, and then it would only open halfway before hitting the wall. Thankfully, our state's DOT emergency vehicle showed up about 15 minutes later to help mitigate traffic. I had to have the truck towed and it is now in the shop. Ford has known about the issues with the CDF drums in these trucks for a long time and have an associated TSB for it: 24-2176. It's a transmission issue, and there is already a class action lawsuit against Ford over the 10R80 transmission. This is the most dangerous situation I have ever been put into in my decades of driving. Ford is negligent in this by acknowledging that there are potentially catastrophic issues with their transmissions and doing nothing to remedy them on their dime. Over the months prior to this, I had minor issues in 8th, 9th, and 10th gear where occasionally the transmission felt like it "slipped" slightly. A service engine warning would pop up, but it would go away after the truck was restarted and the issue wouldn't pop up again for weeks. The Ford service people back in February claimed they had fixed it when I took it in by reprogramming a module.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:TV/RADIO/SPEAKERS
This complaint was already documented here: NHTSA ID Number: 11487857 Turned my truck on to hear a LOUD pop, scared everyone inside. Speakers continued to crackle and pop, at a lower volume. No audio or music played. Thinking it would go away, I continued out of our neighborhood. When it didn't, I stopped and turned the truck off, as well as locking the vehicle, with the same crackling noise coming from the speakers despite everything being shut off. Turned the truck back on and went through audio settings. The only thing that made it stop was switching from "Stereo" to "Surround" mode in the settings.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I have received "High Voltage Battery Warnings" on 3 separate occasions (5/5/24, 5/9/24, 7/14/24), each time being told to stop the vehicle as soon as possible. On each occasion, once the vehicle is stopped it is bricked and cannot be driven at all. Fortunately, each of the three times I was able to stop the vehicle in a safe place. However, if others are experiencing the same issue, they may not be able to stop in a safe place. Furthermore, Ford has failed twice to fix the High Voltage battery issue, and the vehicle is currently at the dealer trying to resolve the issue for a third time. The fact that Ford does not know how to resolve this repeating issue is a large safety concern for two main reasons. First, as the high voltage battery is the main power unit for the propulsion system of the car, and with Ford clearly unaware of what or how to fix the issue, the car is at risk of stopping at any time or location. Second, the dealership working with Ford to fix the car mentioned that the repairs were taking a long time because Ford indicated that the High Voltage from the battery may be discharging into other components of the vehicle, e.g. frame, door panels, etc., and so they had to proceed with extreme caution. With Ford failing to resolve the issue at least two time, there may be a risk of very high electric current coming in contact with the driver or passengers in the vehicle. It would be shocking if that were to happen.

ENGINE, FIRERELATED
The front of the truck started smoking when it was pulled over at a gas station on 07/26/2024, the hood was too hot to open, and the front of the truck proceeded to start on fire. It took the fire department 20 minutes to arrive on the scene at which point there was not much left of the front of the truck. Everyone was able to get out of the vehicle and no injuries occurred. The truck is obviously totaled, but we are unaware as what caused this truck to blow up.
