LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LOCK
When the weather reaches freezing temperatures or below. The drivers side door will not unlock or open. It will not unlock using the Remote unlock, Key Fob, manual Key, unlock button on the door or pulling the handle from the inside. If there were an incident that would require exiting the vehicle quickly or emergency services needed to extricate the driver quickly, this would not be possible since the door can not be opened. This only occurs during cold weather. I live in Wisconsin and the temperatures during winter are consistently below freezing. The dealer will not get me in to address for another month to look at it. The truck was purchased February 2022. First sign of the issue occurred December 2022.

POWER TRAIN
Rear Axle bolt broke while driving. I have visited the dealer and made an appointment. They have told me that the truck should not be driven aggressively, and that they will have the truck for a few days for the repair. After being on Ford Forum, I am seeing that this is a common faulty part that seems to be occurring quite often. In some cases both axle bolts on the same vehicle has broken. We are in the winter months and this is causing my 4 -Wheel drive to not operate/function correctly.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:TV/RADIO/SPEAKERS
Upon entering our 22 F150 Platinum, closing the doors, and pushing the ignition button, a very loud explosion was heard followed by a loud crackling noise that continued around the entire top of our truck. The control panel then went completely black. This explosion was so loud that our ears were ringing for hours afterwards. If we had been driving the truck when this happened we could have had an accident. We tried to turn the radio down as this explosion came on full blast in all 18 speaks, but had no control. We had to leave the vehicle and wait. Once it stopped and we reentered the vehicle, it smelled like something was burning. There has to be something wrong with the B & O amplifier in these vehicles. I have read a number of other complaints, so I know we are not alone. One person drove it to the dealer and the service manager heard it and said it had to be an amplifier problem. Another person was told to pull fuse number 28 out to get it to stop. If I paid $80,000 for my truck, I should not have to deal with this. How can I get this fixed?

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
When I pushed the start button on my 900 mile F150 limited that I only had 6 months, I heard a very very loud noise that sounded like a bomb going off in the truck. After I gathered myself and verified nobody damaged my truck or windows and with my ears still ringing, I heard very loud static noise coming from all the speakers. I thought the loud noise that came through the speakers actually blew them out. I turned off the radio, but the speakers were still making loud static noises. I then tried to turn on am station, and the radio worked fine. If this would of happened while I was driving, I probably would of had an accident.

STRUCTURE:BODY
While driving on a highway at 70 mph the hood unlocked and was caught by the safety latch. It is available for inspection. My safety was at extreme risk. Loosing the ability to see out of my windshield had the safety latch failed could have been catastrophic. This could have caused a crash at highway speeds from the sudden inability to see where I was driving. The problem has not been reproduced but should be confirmed by the trucks data system. A hood unsafe message appeared on my dash screen. The latch has not been inspected yet as this happened last night. There was no prior indication or warning that the hood would come unlocked.
