VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:AIR HANDLER/CHAMBER, DUCTS, AND VALVES
the blower in my Truck seems to be malfunctioning. while the AC or heater will turn it when first started, approx. 20 minutes into driving and it quits blowing. you can hear it blowing but nothing comes out of the vents. this first happened at 300 miles while running the heater and I had no defrost! I repeatedly had to stop and wipe down the windshield in order to see! when sent in for repair they kept truck for 1 week. no error codes showed. Service tech told me I didn't know how to run the AC correctly. today I carried it in again with same complaint and they said they might get it into service in couple of weeks but made no attempt to schedule an appt. again, they made me feel as though I did not know what I am talking about. there are many forums online with same issue and no resolution.

The ac fan is blowing but no air is coming out looked on line there are a lot of people with same problem but when you cut the truck off and restart it the ac works fine his problem only occurs various sporadic but dealerships and Ford will not fix it because when they look at it, it does not do the issue. The issue does not come up. It is not a on-demand issue. There are no codes online flap sensor that allows the air to come through, Ford wants to leave the truck for 3 to 4 weeks and then when they start it don’t do it then you’re just been without your truck for no reason whatsoever to recall so you actually have your vehicle fixed thank you thank you

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
Transmission jerking, harsh shifting, clunking, lunging, and hesitating. I have taken this truck to Hagerstown Ford for repair. They advised they were able to duplicate the problem and found the transmission was 1.5 quarts low on fluid. I have driven the truck a few hundred miles since and the issues are still there. I also understand Ford is having issues with the 10R80 transmission and there have been recalls but mine is not applicable. I have also had two occasions with the park brake not fully releasing and getting a service park fault now appearing on the dash. They said there were no codes, and everything is, ok?

SERVICE BRAKES
When starting from a stop, with my 2022 Ford F150 FX4 in drive, sometimes the parking brake will automatically turn on without me activating it while driving. This causes my truck to skid to a halt and I have to manually disengage the parking brake to resume driving. I am concerned about the increased risk for harm to myself or others from a collision due to the unintended stopping. I don't know if the brake lights turn on or not when this happens either, but the vehicle remains in drive and the red park brake active light comes on (lower right corner of the instrument cluster). The local Ford dealership has had the truck in twice for this condition, but they have said they cannot reproduce the problem. I have recorded a video of it happening and sent it to Ford. The recall on my truck having to do with the parking brake that was issued September 2023 has been repaired by the local Ford dealership as of October 2023, but this is still occuring. No advanced warning is given when this occures. It is sudden, and seemingly random, but so far has only occurred when starting from a stop. Other potentially useful information: This has occurred with my vehicle 6 times in the last two weeks with today being the most recent. I have auto hold turned ON. I set the parking brake when I am parked in my driveway. I turn right from my driveway in the mornings. Most of the occurrences of this have been on a slope, but one occurrence has occurred on level ground. Ford has not found an answer for my vehicle yet. They did re-inspect the recall work and said nothing was wrong with that part.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:INSTRUMENT PANEL:SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER
The Instrument Panel Cluster will reboot when driving leaving the panel blank with no speedometer or other vital information. The system will reboot after a short time, sometimes multiple times and has occurred when driving at speeds of 30, 35, 50, 65 mph. This reboot leaves the driver without vital information, causes confusion and is a distraction putting the safety of all occupants at risk. This has happened a multiple times and may be is similar to SSM 50294 where emojis causes the Instrument Panel Cluster to go blank or reboot during incoming or outgoing phone calls where there are emojis alongside the text of a name of contact. Unfortunately, I did not learn of this error until I had dropped the vehicle at the dealer and researched myself. I have a heart emoji next to my wife's name and would gladly remove this, but the dealer indicates a full $1000 reboot of multiple systems is the protocol in accordance with Ford manuals and diagnostic trees. I am working with a dealer, but they have been uncooperative in terms of recreating the problem and are only seeking a paid solution with the reboot the entire system an no assurance that this will work. As mentioned above, it seems that this is similar to SSM 502947 for other 2021 F-150s, but the dealership will not confirm and Ford indicates my vehicle is not effected by this error according to my VIN. System failure warnings are also sent to the Ford mobile app when this reboot happens, these warnings are for the Tire Pressure Monitor System, Restraints Indicator Lamp and Antilock Brake Fault. The Ford dealership has had my vehicle for over two weeks with this issue and has not communicated any inspection or attempt to recreate the issue. There is not a repair invoice yet.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Shortly after purchasing my new 2023 F150 Lariat (In December 2023), I noticed that the Driver side Sun Visor was extremely loose when moving the visor from the center mount to the block the sun from coming in from the side window. I noticed that the visor was bouncing in the mount (near the A-piller). I put my hand on it and it felt as if it was about to fall out. Checked the passenger side and same thing. Tried tightening the screw and no joy. There is no way that someone installed these things and didn't notice. I had a 21 XLT and didn't have this problem. I had it in the dealer twice. I tried to secure it, but didn't help. The dealer attempted to fix but then they told me it was normal. When I was leaving the dealer, I moved the driver's visor and it fell out of the mount. They put it back in and ordered a new retention nut and screw. A few months later they replaced the parts but the visors were sloppy loose. The driver side fell out again (fortunately I wasn't driving). I wound up coming up with a fix myself. In any case, If the visor falls out when someone is driving, it can absolutely cause a major distraction and possible accident. Mine is not the only vehicle that has this issue. I started a thread and received numerous responses. [XXX] . I'm sure that there are thousands of trucks out there with this issue.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I would like to report an issue The motor fan or actuator on the vents doesn’t work properly and my windshield becomes foggy even though when I turn the AC on or heat on, it does not defrost the fog And gives poor visibility on the road I have to pull over roll the windows down to make sure it’s safe to travel. It’s very important. Should be part of safety issue to have clear visibility while driving. Don’t reason reason why I’m reporting this because my friend has the same issue and he’s been at the dealer to get the problem fixed. They can just fix it. There should recall this issue.

Tire pressure sensor keeps coming on and says it is faulty. The driver side window will not completely roll down( we have done a reset and it will only work once or twice). With the radio it will sometimes not work(we have done a soft reset and it will work a few times and then stop). The last thing the heat shield that is underneath the truck had a recall we got it repaired and since it hangs down, we have taken to the dealership and they repaired it again and will still hand down.
