POWER TRAIN
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, 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.

STRUCTURE:BODY
EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DOOR CLOSING FAILURE. Both front door lock actuators malfunction below 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Rear doors of the crew cab are unaffected. The moving parts of the mechanism are not frozen and there is no water in the system. The lock actuator will not engage the clamp/pin mechanism to hold the door closed, even though the movable parts are freely moving. this happens whenever the temperature is below 10 degrees. In order to get out of the car you need to exit the rear door or climb out the window. Once the door does open, it will not securely latch in position. The Certified Ford dealership informed me that this is a "known problem" with the F150 and there is no known repair.

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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

POWER TRAIN
The axle bolt sheared off at some point since the last tire rotation. The truck has approximately 55,000 miles on the odometer and the last tire rotation was performed at 35,000 miles. Somewhere in the 35,000 to 55,000 mile time frame the bolt on the end of the axle sheared off. When the wheel was removed at 55,000 miles the bolt head and washer fell out. The only thing that has been done to the rear wheels are tire rotations. No other maintenance that would require the hub or brake assembly to be removed has been performed.
