January 2, 2023 Ford Motor Company Product Claims Department 1-800-392-3673 P.O. Box 70 Dearborn, Michigan 48121 Vehicle VIN #1FTFW1ED5NFB14199 New 2022 Ford F-150 Dear Claims Department/Legal Department, On December 22, 2022 at approximately 5:00 p.m. Driver of vehicle was leaving the office to go home and as he entered the vehicle and sat in driver seat to turn the vehicle on the engine fired on and at that very moment a LOUD POP explosion sounded throughout the vehicle cabin. In the short duration to his home the vehicle had a static electrical sound amplifying through the vehicles speakers while the truck was on as well as when the vehicle was in the parked off position. I immediately phoned my fleet manager at Colley Ford in Glendora California and via telephone he acknowledged the vehicles state of trouble and notified me to have the vehicle inspected immediately for findings. Rather than pay for towing, GQ Landscape care decided to take said vehicle to the nearest Ford location from the office which is approximately 3.5 miles. The employee drove the vehicle with the windows unrolled as this noise being emitted was making him physically ill, headache and earache. Upon his arrival to Chino Hills Ford the service advisor Maria Ochoa documented the vehicles condition and also brought her service manager “Tom” out for inspection as neither one of them have had a vehicle thus far making such a horrible noise, they both acknowledged and recognized that this was not a normal noise. At this point practically half of their maintenance team came out and wanted to see what vehicle was making such noise. That night and for 3 more days following original incident my employees head and ears have suffered extreme headache and earache. As of December 27, 2022 Chino Hills Ford has recognized and diagnosed the culprit issue to be the Amplifier. Please see attached. I have asked for a Rental vehicle due to the fact that this vehicle has put my employees nuerological healt

Any 2021 f150 or newer with the max tow package has faulty rear axle shaft bolts that are installed from the factory. These bolts shear off within the first 10k of driving and ford has yet to issue a recall for this. A sheared off axle shaft bolt can cause a failure in the rear differential or a wheel to fall off potentially causing an accident. There are many reports of this failure all over the internet. Just google "2021 f150 axle shaft bolt sheared off" for more examples like the one I am submitting

Shortly after taking delivery of my brand new F150, I noticed a substantial grinding sound and vibration intermittently presenting at both high and low speeds, with no change when shifting gears or slowing down. No warning lights were activated. All instances appeared to occur during below freezing temperatures. I immediately brought to our local Ford dealer who believes the vehicle is partially engaging the four wheel drive system in error. They have reported this to Ford and advises there is no known diagnoses or solution.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I have B&O Unleashed sounds system in my 2022 F-150 Platinum. Went out to work, no issues with sound. Auto-Started the truck, & came back out to my truck after grabbing some documents from my office for an offsite meeting.. Pressed the start button when I unlocked & sat down in the drivers seat, & an extrmely loud "pop" occured. Wasn't sure what it was. But then tried to make a call using Bluetooth Connection to my cellular phone, & there was no ring tone, or audio when the other end picked up the call. I then tried turning the radio up after the failed call, & the radio sound stopped working. First time that's ever happened. Restarts didn't help. Drove to my meeting in silence. Read online that sometime pulling out fuse 28 & putting it right back in resolves the issue. Performed those tasks, & the radio/sound system is working properly. Performing those tasks is not easy, as it's in the lower exterior feet area of the front passenger seating area. Especially difficult being blind in my righ eye as well.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
I was leaving the neighborhood and all of the sudden the forward collision warning went off for no reason, luckily the vehicle did not apply automatic brakes. I'm afraid if I was driving on the highway and the system went off for no apparent reason it could apply brakes and cause a crash. The electrical system is randomly setting off all kinds of error messages including random alarms in the middle of the night. The truck is less than a year old with only about 10K miles...the major concern is the forward collision warning that could potentially cause a crash.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Windshield Wipers do not operate consistently. Initial problem was identified while driving; pressing the wash button resulted in water on the windshield mixing with dirt to create a lack of visibility issue, the wipers moved a few inches and stopped. Repeated attempts to turn wipers on and off eventually solved the problem. Condition is repeatable when cold, and intermittent after warm up. After a long delay and a replaced SCCM, Ford returned vehicle only to encounter safety failure again during driving. There are no warning lamps to indicate a malfunction.

While driving, a loud static sound started over the speakers and would not stop. It was so loud I could not continue driving and I immediately developed a headache. Even after I pulled over, turned off the truck and left for about minute it still continued. I eventually let it sit for about 20 minutes and when i came back the sound had stopped and works normally now. Car reeks of a burning plastic smell. My apple watch recorded a 109dB spike. I posted a video of the sound at https://youtube.com/shorts/XMFUDQA70Ms?feature=share

The right rear axle bolt was found to be broken when the tire was removed for rotation. The bolt appears to have been over torqued at the assembly plant. At the time of the removal of the tire, the bolt head with about 5/8" of threads left and the corresponding washer fell out and hit the floor. This is a new truck built in February of 2022 and I picked up in March of this year. This is the first time this vehicle has been in for service.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Tonight when I started my truck there was a loud pop sound that came from the sound system. The stereo then had no volume with any source. I shut down the vehicle and restarted it. As soon as it turned on again, the sound system had incredibly loud static coming from every speaker. My ears were ringing and when I screamed to my eight year old to get out of the truck, she could not hear me. I tried to turn the truck on and off multiple times and I eventually had to abandon it and take my wife’s car. I have a video that shows my truck was turned off and the sound system would not stop making the awful noise. I just can’t attach it to this report.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
On Friday, December 9th 2022 I started my truck via pressing the push start button in the truck. The vehicle started and went through its normal start up procedures. However - once the Sync 4 infotainment screen began to come to life an extremely loud Pop - followed by a max volume static played for a few seconds. I was extremely confused and immediately attempted to turn the volume down using the volume control but it had no effect. At first - the pop was so loud I thought the noise was my window shattering but realized it was my stereo after the static began. Their was no active audio playing when this event occurred and after the static subsided, my speakers were unable to play any sounds until I turned the vehicle off overnight. My ears are still ringing from this event 2 days later - this is a massive safety hazard and one that seems to be getting no attention from Ford.

On the morning of 12/7/2022 I got in the truck and turned it on. All the speakers made a super loud pop/bomb/gun going off sound. Then all the speakers were making a super loud crackling sound. Had no control over the audio volume, ect. Turned it the truck off and back on, still nothing but the crackling sound. 12” screen and digital dash were acting weird also (delayed coming on and not synced when powering on). After several minutes started the crackling stopped and it started playing music from my carplay. Kids said they smelt a burning smell. On 12/9/2022 it happened again. Got in and before I even started it it made a loud bomb going off sound when the digital dash and 12” screen was starting up. Then it was fine.

SUSPENSION, POWER TRAIN
The 2022 Ford F-150 trucks are all having rust issues on the drivetrain and suspension parts. The Ford dealer has admitted there is a huge problem. It seems Ford has eliminated a coating on these parts which has allowed rust to develop even before they leave the factory. I took my truck to a local dealer and he refused to fix it under warranty. By checking the online forums you will see this is a huge problem. Rust does not fix itself. Over time it is very possible these parts will fail. I went online with a Ford customer service representative and was told someone would contact me the next day. That has been three weeks, no contact. I first noticed my rust issues a week after I took delivery of the vehicle

At times when starting vehicle or when driving the sound system makes a tremendously loud gunshot noise and then full volume static from all of the speakers. Only goes away after disconnecting battery or pulling fuse 28. This scares the crap out of you and could easily cause an accident. Ford dealers have no fix from Ford and per the internet I have found that many many other F150 and Raptor owners are having this same issue. This needs to be addressed by Ford ASAP before a tragedy occurs. It is that loud and frightening!
