UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The driver's side rear shock mounting bracket weld broke. This creates a suspension and safety problem as the rear bracket and shock are moving and could interfere with the wheel/axle. The problem was confirmed by a dealer and independent service center. An engineer from Ford Motor Co. inspected the failure. There were no warning or other symptoms of the problem other than a squeaking noise while driving.

Ear-splitting static-like noise upon starting the truck. Followed by loud static that would persist even when audio was turned off. Extremely distracting while driving. Took to dealer who said nothing to be done until Ford figures out a fix. Told me to keep checking back. No warning lamps or messages. I wish Ford to put a higher priority on fixing this issue. 2022 F150.

Engine shut down while traveling down a mountain with a 4.8% grade at 50 mph; the transmission was in 3rd gear to contain the speed with no pressure on the brakes. There was an initial chime as when the vehicle is first turned ON, followed by the wipers traveling halfway up the windshield, all screens went completely dark as if the vehicles key had also been turned OFF. Brakes were initially soft and then on subsequent push came back. Vehicle went through it's normal power up cycle and then engine restarted as I was still traveling at a good speed down the mountain. The engine has shut off on it's own before with all screens going dark while sitting at stop lights. To get it restarted I had to put the vehicle in park, press the brake and push the start button. I assumed this issue was with the auto start/stop feature and now always drive with it selected off. I've never had this issue with it off. This was the first time the issue happened while the truck was in gear and moving. The auto Start/Stop feature was ON. For previous issues I've had the Ford dealership check it and no error codes or issues were found.

A/C and hvac system does not work properly. On lowest setting you have somewhat cool air and once you turn dial to 60 degrees it’s heat. This is unsafe because I can not regulate the temperature in vehicle correctly whatsoever and trying to defrost windows is also a nightmare. The air conditioning is also not even cold enough on its lowest setting. Multiple people are having same issues with 2022-2023 f150s

Vehicle loss of power!! After turning occasionally I will only have enough power to remain at low low speed. Sometimes having to pull over to side of the road because I can’t gain speed and traffic is coming quickly. Problem lasts 30 seconds or more before it kicks in. Doesn’t matter if my foot is pressed to the floor there is no response.

SERVICE BRAKES
When starting from a stop, with my 2022 Ford F150 FX4 in drive, sometimes the parking brake will automatically turn on without me activating it while driving. This causes my truck to skid to a halt and I have to manually disengage the parking brake to resume driving. I am concerned about the increased risk for harm to myself or others from a collision due to the unintended stopping. I don't know if the brake lights turn on or not when this happens either, but the vehicle remains in drive and the red park brake active light comes on (lower right corner of the instrument cluster). The local Ford dealership has had the truck in twice for this condition, but they have said they cannot reproduce the problem. I have recorded a video of it happening and sent it to Ford. The recall on my truck having to do with the parking brake that was issued September 2023 has been repaired by the local Ford dealership as of October 2023, but this is still occuring. No advanced warning is given when this occures. It is sudden, and seemingly random, but so far has only occurred when starting from a stop. Other potentially useful information: This has occurred with my vehicle 6 times in the last two weeks with today being the most recent. I have auto hold turned ON. I set the parking brake when I am parked in my driveway. I turn right from my driveway in the mornings. Most of the occurrences of this have been on a slope, but one occurrence has occurred on level ground. Ford has not found an answer for my vehicle yet. They did re-inspect the recall work and said nothing was wrong with that part.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
The cruise control can be easily and accidentally activated and can be activated at any speed. Once activated, it has a minimum established speed of 15mph. If traveling at low parking lot speeds of under 5mph, this will result in a sudden surge as the truck attempts to hit the minimum 15mph speed. The sudden surge is a surprise to many and can be dangerous as it typically occurs in low speed areas such as parking lots and can be accidentally activated during low speed maneuvers. Recommend the manufacture adjust the settings so that either cruise control can not be activated when below the established minimum speed setting of 15mph. Additionally, please refer to pages 4-5 of the forums for additional users complaining about the same: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
My truck has BlueCruise technology. I have noted that the technology can be dangerous and drive me off the road, particularly in an area of an Interstate I drive often. Each time I go through that area, it will drive me off the road if I don't catch it. Always in the same place and in the same way.

SERVICE BRAKES
Failure: Total loss of brakes, hard pedal, no airbags deployed, at estimated speed between 5 and 10 mph. Safety concern: Total loss of ability to slow down, stop or avoid impact. Crashed into a shop wall as a dealership technician with the brake lamps evidently applied before and after the impact. Reproduced: Vehicle in for ABS related faults on dash, which is why it was being pulled into the Ford dealer by a Senior Master Ford technician. Inspection by others: Not yet, vehicle has been left at impact site per management. No, there were no warnings, chimes, messages or any other symptom or sign to indicate a concern was going to happen.
