UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Fresh air intake cowling allows small debris to build up and does not allow consumer ability to clean/service it. This results in water backing up and spilling to AC filter and blower motor, thus leaking into passenger side of cab. Dealer and Ford state this is a non-warrantable item, and that the consumer should be aware to maintain it themselves despite being able to. Dealership also does not clean this during routine service, nor notify the consumer about it condition.

The attached document will explain in details about the back up failing on multiple occasions and Ford Motor Company has no fixes for this at this time. It is a SAFETY concern due to the back up camera with small children around. This is the third APIM module since Jan 2024. Now Ford says tells their dealers not to do anything with them to wait until around October or November and they will send out another bulletin on how to handle this problem. Then once that is done who knows how long it take. Big Safety issue here. F150 is the number one selling truck on the road as Ford says so that makes this even a bigger issue.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:TV/RADIO/SPEAKERS
This morning, as soon as I started the vehicle and started backing down the driveway, an unbelievably loud popping sound emitted from the speakers. I immediately slammed on the brakes having no idea what had just happened. This has happened previously but have not heard in a few months so I thought the problem was corrected. It is the loudest noise I have ever experienced and is extremely dangerous as it happens at different times and is just ear splitting. My ears are still ringing and it happened at 8:45am this morning.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
The computer/s that control every piece of equipment does not function as designed! The cruise control adjusted the speed (upward) without touching the controls. The lane keeping function will drag the truck into a turnout lane, left or right especially on a two lane highway with turn out lanes. The windshield wiper control has to be constantly manipulated to keep the windshield clean during snow and or rain storms. The instrument panel constantly changes which distracts the driver as so does the computer screen. The pre collision equipment works only sometimes. All the computers installed affect the function of other computers which causes driver distraction, like txt and driving.

Cover for transmission/exhaust/engine on underside of vehicle tears at mount pint and hangs down and could completly tear away causing potential vehicle damge or damage to other vehicles on road. Problem is noted on internet forums as Ford's saggy diaper problem. Cover is made of a non durable foam-fabric material and is mounted by 4 screws and tears away by mount points and hangs down. This is 2nd time happening on truck, first time was replaced under warranty. Picutre is taken after I pushed it back into place but is still torn by mounting bolt and hangs down when driving. I ordered a replacement from Amazon for $99.99 and will attempt to repair myself.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Since I have purchased the 2022 Ford F-150 I have had several incidents where the cruise control has set itself. A couple incidents have resulted in me slamming on the brakes to avoid collision. I have taken it to the dealer a few times and they have replaced everything that has to do with the cruise control and it still sets itself from time to time but it's sporadic. The dash lights/instrument cluster has went completely out 2-3 time and came back on. When it does come back on the drive mode disabled light is on and I can't change the drive modes. The entertainment/map screen has froze up several time. The map will freeze and I can't change the music or do anything on the screen.

POWER TRAIN
Starting at roughly 2000 on the odometer the truck began shifting very harshly, missing gears, slipping gears, lurching forward during shifts. Upon acceleration through the first four or so gears, there is a very loud "thunking" sound presumably upon shift. There have been 4-5 times I was turning across traffic at a safe distance, and the truck would not accelerate, missing several gears. I was almost hit hard several times because of the truck failing to drive. Dealership turned me away 3 times, saying they would not be able to diagnose anything without a CEL code. Since the truck doesn't throw any fault codes they would not take it in for troubleshooting or attempt to reproduce the issue. The issues were reproduced by a local shop I took the truck to for a third party opinion. The loud thunk was thought to be too low a lubricant level on the slip yoke where the drive shaft meets the transmission. The shop checked and there was sufficient lubricant. They reproduced the thunk sound driving slowly with several technicians witnessing the issue standing within sight distance. These known and reproducible issues with the 10R80 transmission and there have been an exorbitant number of reports of this behavior in owner message groups, all with the same lack of resolution. Dealerships either don't fix the issue, won't troubleshoot without a CEL code, or say the transmission is working as designed.

SUSPENSION, WHEELS
The wheel wells on the front of my vehicle do not properly fit the well. One has been replaced twice the other once and recently the dealer made the decision to cut the wheel wells so they would no longer rub. I was told it was the best they could do. The other choice is to keep replacing them when they fail. I am concerned that somthing from the road may fly up in their and get lodged in the exposed under section. I feel there should be another alternative but Ford doesn't want to pay to get a resolution. If those well covers were not needed they wouldn't have them n their in the 1st place. So I know they are needed.

STRUCTURE:BODY
Weatherstripping on sunroof is deteriorating. This could affect the safety of the driver as well as any passengers in the vehicle if it was to start leaking. Furthermore, if water entered the cabin it could affect any electrical components that might interfere with the driving of the vehicle thus causing a safety hazard to any vehicles that would be nearby if this was to happen. The vehicle was taken to the local Ford dealership on 5/29/2024 for inspection. The repair was denied because the whole sunroof would need to be replaced in order to fix the weatherstripping. No one else has looked at the weatherstripping. It was first noticed on 5/24/2024.
