POWER TRAIN
This is a 2022 Ford F15 . In 2023 ,at 34000 miles the tranfer case broke down in the middle of the road,waiting at a stop light. The truck needed to be towed. The dealer fixed it under the warranty. In 2024 at 57000 miles ,the same transfer case broke down as i was getting out of my driveway. Again it was towed to the dealer. In Feb 2025 i drove out of state and i observed a white smoke behing me. I stoped at a rest area and discover the the undercarriage is full of oil and the transmission got overheated. When I got back home i saw a lot of oil spots from the trans on my driveway. Now the car is at the dealer again. The worst part is even if I had an appointment 2 weeks later from the date i called, representative told me it will take another 2 weeks to fix the trans! Every time the truck was at the dealer it took 2 weeks to get fixed and every time they told me theyy don’t have a loaner. That is my work truck and i can’t miss 2 weeks of work! I asked the representative what is going on with a car that is still under warranty and the transfer case broke twice in 2 years. The answer was that Ford knows about this problem but they do not have a solution to fix it properly. I asked him what I’m suppose to do after the warranty runs out? Same guy told me that Ford will issue a recall and as long as there is a recall they will fix it with no extra charge but there is no recall on transfer cases from Ford! For a truck that I paid $90000 that is not acceptable. Please let me know my options. Thank you.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The rear light bar was replace a year or so ago by a recall from Ford due to manufacturing defect that cause water to be trapped within the light bar and LEDs will short out. A few months back, the water has returned within the light bar and causing the LED's to short out just like before. Since the lightbar holds the back up light, with LED shorting out the other drivers will not be able to notice the truck is in Reverse mode which I get a few near misses. The factory recall did not fix the water in the light bar issue.

WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
NHTSA states to file a complaint if there has been no remedy in reference to a safety recall in a timely manner. As of to date there is still an open recall on my truck and Ford has stated the recall is incomplete due to no remedy yet available. This recall has been in place since 12/22/23. My truck did have a broken hub bolt and I believe the dealership replaced the passenger rear axle hub. The dealership told me that this is only a temporary repair until Ford comes up with a remedy.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed and failed to respond. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact has engaged the “Smith System” to drive the vehicle. On a separate occasion, the vehicle started making a squealing sound. The contact attempted to depress the brake pedal once or twice; however, the brakes failed to respond. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed with rear brake failure. The rear brake was rebuilt; however, the failure and the squealing persisted. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer two more times, but the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure or duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 16,917.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I’m on my 2nd rear tailgate light bar. The new one has moisture in it causing the backup lights to flicker becoming distracting when trying to backup in the dark or have other drivers realize I’m backing up.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Moisture entered the rear light bar and caused the reverse / back-up lights to fail. Reverse / back-up lights do not work and thus do not illuminate the area behind the truck when backing up. The rear camera does not provide a usable image when the reverse / back-up lights do not illuminate the area behind the truck. The rear light bar was previously replaced about 9/15/2023 under Ford Recall 23S30 for the same issue. The replacement light bar suffers from the same moisture intrusion issue as the original light bar, so the original safety issue has not been resolved.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST
The 7 pin trailer connecton doesn't work properly. The trailer clearance lights are on all the time. Even with the truck lights off. The electric brake controller pulses electric to the trailer brakes. Even when there is no trailer connected and the truck not running. The trailer brakes locked up. The lane centering is so sensitive the steering wheel shimmies. This makes the trailer sway.

POWER TRAIN
Transmission issue starting at 60,000 miles with minor miss-shifts and hard shifting brought the truck in at 71,000 miles to get looked at after seizing had occurred. Initial incident occurred about two months before I brought the truck in where I put the truck in reverse and it would lock up the transmission, it would do one revolution and stop. We put the truck in drive. It would unload the whole drive train and get stuck. One revolution going forward, proceeded to put the truck in park it would decompress the drivetrain this would happen 3 to 4 times before the transmission would release and allow you to drive normally took the truck into the shop. They opened up the transmission and found that the CFD drum had ruptured causing the transmission to intermittently lock up

STRUCTURE:BODY
(2022 Ford F150 Supercrew XLT) The sunroof wind deflector screen that pops up when you open the sunroof broke at 75mph and could have caused an accident or killed a motorcyclist. The vehicle only has 38000 miles on it. I observed that the wind screen was attached to the roof by 4 small screws. The product is made of plastic and cannot sustain highway driving. I observed another complain on the internet at 70mph same thing. Mullinex Ford of Apopka Fl is where the vehicle was purchased. I believe the screen should be made of metal to prevent it from breaking. I am terrified of replacing it because I am certain it will break again. website part #fl3z-16500a26-c.

1. Transmission. Auxiliary transmission fluid pump. 2. Yes. 3. No. 4. No. 5. No. Stopped at a traffic light, first inline near crosswalk. For no apparent reason, the vehicle jumped forward without any input from myself. Thought I was rear ended by someone behind me. Luckily, I always have my left foot on the brake pedal when stopped and was able to apply additional pressure to keep the vehicle from moving forward. This is a new to me, used vehicle. After doing research I see that this is an ongoing problem for the 2021 to present Ford F 150 PowerBoost, hybrid, trucks. Hopefully a safety recall will be issued.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
the blue cruise hands free driving feature does not work and has guided the vehicle off of the road. It also asks the driver to take the steering wheel, but will not register that has happened without a very hard pull on the wheel, which pulls the vehicle into other lanes of traffic. this is a very dangerous situation.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The navigation, information, and control screen in this vehicle randomly shuts down and reboots. often when using the reverse and 360 camera system. Ford has said they will not work on these systems as they are faulty, and has promised a software revision for over 6 months. The dealers report that they are not allowed to work on this until the new software comes from Ford. At least one time the instrument cluster also went blank during driving. this is a safety concern that the ntsb should be aware of, in addition to the faulty/dangerous bluecruise and advance self driving features that put folks in peril.

There is a problem with the heating controls. The temperature will be set at 72 and is stable for awhile, even days, then will spontaneously heat until it's unbearably hot. This is a huge distraction while driving to having to keep messing with the controls. Safety issue! After numerous complaints to Ford's service department with no results as the technicians cannot duplicate issue and there are no codes. Purchased a thermal imaging camera: 97.8 dash vents, 55.1 at knees and 80 degrees at feet (driver's side). This is not a situation where the heating system is just trying to bring the cab up to temperature as this occurs when the truck has already been on the road for over an hour at a comfortable temperature and then it just erratically starts spewing out unbearable temperatures. I have thermal imaging pictures as high as 153 degrees Fahrenheit while the set temperature is 70. Something definitely wrong. I am submitting this complaint as I am tired of turning the truck in for repairs. Maybe if enough people say something, Ford will do something.
