ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
When I got into my truck and pressed the start button, there was an extremely loud popping noise that appeared to be coming from the sound system. It was so loud that it caused ringing in my ears. I immediately attempted to shut off the truck, but the noise continued. I opened the door to exit the vehicle, and the loudest noises stopped, but a static sound remained. I got out, shut the door, and locked and unlocked the vehicle several times before the noises stopped. It has now happened to me on two separate occasions. Rear speakers now sound like they're blown and have a terrible rattle. I contacted my dealer, Bluebonnet Forn in New Braunfels Texas, and was told that there have been numerous reports of this type o event but they have no idea what s causing it and it'll take them 4-5 days before they can even look at my truck.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:TV/RADIO/SPEAKERS
This has happened twice to me. The latest was about 7 days ago. There was a loud popping and static sound when driving my vehicle so loud that I had to exit the truck and my neighbors came and asked if I was ok because it was so loud. I couldn't get it to stop by shutting things off. Talked to my sales guy and he suggested I disconnect the negative cable to the battery for 30 min or more, but there needs to be some sort of fix for this as it is a larger issue. It is undriveable when it happens and I likely would have crashed if I was on the highway. Ford is very slow with any response and the dealership can't do anything until they issue a TSB.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Car was in the driveway and refused to start. Back light flashed and the battery died. I stated to the dealership that the adaptive cruise was not working. The dealership stated that it was working and that they test drove it and it was working. I brought it in a second time and stated the adaptive cruise was not working. Again the dealership stated that it was working. Third time I complained and they admitted that the factory had not installed adaptive cruise and that the vehicle did not have the sensors for the Pre-collision Assist w/AEB. They would wait for the parts and install the necessary hardware. Prior to delivery my vehicle had a Factory Hold on it . Ford did not warn me that safety features I had paid for were not installed. Ford had their dealer deny that my vehicle was missing these safety features. These missing safety features and Ford"s denial put myself and others at risk. These safety features was why I bought a new truck in the first place. Ford and its dealers did not act in a responsible or ethical manner with complete disregard for safety.

POWER TRAIN
I took my 2022 f150 powerboost with max tow package to the dealer because of an audible noise coming from the rear passenger side. Ford discovered the axle bolt broke and is floating. Ford said the vehicle is “unsafe to drive” No warning lights. Just a slight squeal noise. If I hadn’t read about other people having this issue my wife would be driving this “unsafe to drive” vehicle right now with our baby.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
This brand new 2022 truck is less than a month old. Windshield wipers were turned on at normal speed (not intermittent) and the wipers froze at the vertical position. Adjusting the wipers control knob did nothing, and about 15 seconds later the wipers resumed proper function. Five minutes later, they froze again at the same position. This was very dangerous to lose visibility in a heavy rain.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I had just purchased my truck not even 30 days and the wipers went out. It was a very rainy day and the wipers just stopped. I had to pull over and get a tow truck to take me to the dealer. I was unable to see and almost hit a car parked on the side of the road because I could not see. I have talked to Ford and the dealer and they both tell me that this is an ongoing issue with no resolution. They have over 600 customers for the 2022 model year with the same issue on non working wipers . They told me it could be 2 to 8 months before they start producing wiper motors for repair. They suggest rainx until the issue is resolved??? My truck is currently parked in the dealer lot. This truck was not appart of the recall like my other truck was. Shouldnt this be part of the recall also and maybe a stop sale until they fix this?

POWER TRAIN, PARKING BRAKE
The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated that he had placed the vehicle into park, engaged the parking brake, and removed the key from the ignition as he went to unload a trailer attached to the vehicle. While the contact was removing a tractor from a trailer, the vehicle independently rolled forward without warning. As the vehicle continued to roll forward, the vehicle jackknifed to the left which brought the vehicle to a stop. The failure bent both the trailer hitch and the trailer frame. Despite the failure, the vehicle resumed normal operation and the contact was able to drive the vehicle to the dealer for an inspection. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired or diagnosed. The failure mileage was approximately 7,000.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:LINKAGES
Was driving vehicle at approximately 45MPH, selected windshield sprayer to clean bugs off windshield, after a couple of full rotation of the windshield wipers, the passenger side wiper fell off and landed in spot that wipers stay while off. Upon inspection it appears that the affected wiper came apart where a spline disc that is supposed to be attached to wiper assembly, I pulled over and secured the loose parts before they slide off vehicle. The disc was still attached to the shaft that operates the wiper. In addition I found a key that apparently is part of the assembly, appears to have fell out and allowed components to separate. Obviously if this had occurred on highway at speed this could have been a hazard, as loose wiper blade might have departed vehicle and struck another vehicle or person. Not to mention the the loss of use during a rain storm would have caused visibility issues.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I was driving on the interstate at 60mph when we were caught in a downpour. We were pulling a 7000lb trailer and the windshield wipers completely stopped working. Visibility was virtually zero. I was in the right lane and was able to navigate to the shoulder. I could tell I was on the shoulder due to the rumble strips. Once on the shoulder I was able to get the wipers to reset and become functional again. Every time I get caught in rain I get to the right lane in case of a failure. The vehicle is available for inspection. Our safety was put at risk. The problem has not been reproduced but an appointment is scheduled with the dealership. The vehicle has not been inspected (not sure where to take it). There were no warnings prior to the failure.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
Rear passenger door latch failed and actually flew open in the middle of intersection while door was locked! Entered intersection from a full stop. Shut door repeatedly when we entered the truck. Seemed to have trouble shutting completely. Needed a couple tries get closed. Thankfully my kids had their seatbelts on! I have never heard of this kind of thing happening with today’s safety standards.

ENGINE
After purchasing the truck new I drove it for four days and it started to leak coolant from under the middle of the truck. The truck had less then 200 miles on it and it already needed service. Once I looked up 2022 Ford F-150 Power Boost coolant leak I found out there are a lot of people experiencing the same issues. I did not know these trucks were having problems otherwise I would not have purchased this truck. If I would have not realized the coolant was leaking the truck would have overheated. After taking it to the dealer they said that exhaust pipe extension was bad and leaking. They informed me that limited parts were available and there was only three in Texas. The Ford dealer ordered the parts 6/30/22 and they still have not shipped as of today 7/7/22. They don’t seem to have any urgency to repair my brand new truck. I have heard some people waiting 10 weeks or more for parts which is a ridiculous for a brand new truck. I feel like there should be a recall on this particular truck if it’s such a common problem. I am lucky that I didn’t attempt to take this truck on a family vacation because we would have been stuck somewhere.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: AUTOMATIC SYSTEM BRAKING
New 2022 Ford F-150 vehicle has a "Rear Brake Assist Not Available" dash warning with accompanting DTCs B1578:78, IPMA Error, and U023A, Lost Communication with Image Processing Module A. I should note my Check Engine Light never came on for either of these DTCs - I was given these codes by the dealer when I took vehicle in for service concerning the aforementioned dash warning. After having the vehicle for 10 days in May 2022, the dealer replaced the rear camera (ML3Z-19G490-C), control assembly (ML3Z-14G647-R), and performed an IPMA calibration and a 360° camera calibration. Work order indicates hard fault did not clear and after multiple calibration attempts, it finally completed and everything was okay. However, the Rear Brake Assist Not Available malfunction is not rectified and is still present. After advising Ford dealer Service Advisor the problem was not rectified, SA indicated Ford Engineering acknowledged it is a problem for which they do not yet have a solution. This is a safety system designed to prevent running over children, animals, and other collisions when driving in reverse with automatic rear braking assistance. If Ford cannot get it to work properly, what is the solution? The system has not worked since I took delivery of the new vehicle on April 15, 2022. Consequently, I have disabled Rear Brake Assist in the Driver Assistance Settings. Other driver assistance and safety features appear to be operating properly.

POWER TRAIN
I was driving about 50 mph traveling from Bethel, NC to Canton, NC and was approaching Canton so I was slowing down. The first traffic light was red so I stopped behind another car. When the light turned green I lightly pressed the accelerator and nothing happened, it was like the engine failed to power up. I looked at the instruments and noticed the transmission was stuck in 8th-gear. Suddenly it rolled down to 1st gear and the vehicle literally leaped across the intersection. Fortunately the car in front had moved out normally or the "leap" would have climbed his back. I have read of other Ford trucks with this 10-speed transmission sticking in 8th-gear when stopping. The hesitation starting into the intersection is dangerous and the sudden leap forward is very dangerous.

STRUCTURE:BODY
The tailgate opens without warning and no warning is given when it opens. The tailgate opens without warning while driving, parked and not running. This has opened on me several time causing numerous safety issues to include contents of my bed falling out on the roadway while driving. The tailgate has opened as my young daughter was walking by and it nearly striking her in the head. As I left the store today when I returned to my vehicle the tailgate was down and had opened while I was not in or near the vehicle. I contacted the dealership where the vehicle was purchased and was told that there is no recall or fix for the issue at this time. I was told they are aware of the issue but could not fix it. There are no lights, sounds or warnings to when the tailgate will open.
