VISIBILITY/WIPER
Twice I have been driving my 2022 Ford F150 and I have tried to turn the wipers on when it started raining, and the wipers did not move. 1) This initial time this happened was early Spring 2022. I was driving in the freeway, and it started to rain. I was using the wipers on intermittent, and everything was fine. At some point I turned the wipers off because it stopped raining. When it started to rain again, I turned the wipers on, and nothing happened. I turned them on and off for the next hour or so, with no wiper action. Finally, after about 90 minutes I turned them on again and the wipers worked. 2) The second incident was on 9/17/2022. I was driving in the mountains when it started to rain. The wipers were working fine. The rain stopped, and I turned the wipers off. Then a downpour started. I tried to turn the on, and nothing happened. I turned the wipers on and off several time. Still no wiper action. This became a dangerous situation on a curvy mountain road. I should have stopped driving due to the lack of wiper action and the fact it was dusk and I was about out of daylight. I chose to drive on, but that was a reckless decision at best. About an hour later the wipers started to work again. I've taken the truck into Crater Lake Ford for the wipers. In the end, I gather they tested them, found they were working fine, and did nothing to fix the problem. I'm very concerned that I will get caught out in a rainstorm again and the same problem will happen again.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
B&O Unleashed Stereo system will produce deafening sound, volume maxed out. The sound is a screeching pulsing sound. It makes your ears ring it is so loud. When you turn the vehicle off it still makes the sound. Turning any of the radio dials does not lower the volume or get it to shut off. You have to get out of your vehicle and wait for the stereo to shut off, can be up to 10 minutes for that to happen. There is no way to drive with it make that noise. You have to pull over and wait for it to stop. This has happened twice in my 6 months of ownership, dealer say the typical, "Can't reproduce it".

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.

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/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.

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.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
APIM (SYNC4) went out and does not work. The APIM controls most functions in the truck. I do not have a working display screen, cannot charge phone, cannot use any of the features I paid to use, no back up camera, and no radio. The trucks user/owners manual is also apart of the APIM (SYNC4) system. Nothing connected with the APIM works. I have waited over 1 month for replacement APIM and Ford has still not sent a replacement. I believe this is happening with new Ford Broncos using the same APIM (SYNC4). There are tons of Ford owner forums complaining about this same issue. I believe Ford and Ford Service is hiding this problem. My Ford Service records shows "Services Performed" as "Unknown."
