UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:TV/RADIO/SPEAKERS
Speaker system/amplifier created a loud sonic boom type noise while I was driving. Made my ears ring and felt very unsafe to drive afterwards. First time this happened, making an appointment with dealership to get it checked out. No error messages came up on the screen or dash. Still do not feel safe driving the vehicle if this can happen again.

Cam phaser needs replaced. Received Customer Satisfaction Program letter 21B10 in October 2021 which expired on February 28, 2022. At the time I wasn’t having the problem so I filed the letter away. Berglund Ford has determined my undesirable noise issue is indeed the cam phaser. I need the CSP letter to be reissued with a current date so my truck can be fixed and mailed to my current address please. I understand the same dealership currently has 3 Ford trucks in their service department for the same reason. Why has this issue not been adjusted as a recall instead of a Customer Satisfaction issue? The undesirable noise is getting worse and distracting when I’m driving. I only have a little under 40,000 miles on my truck and it has been well maintained.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
This is something I've noticed a few times, it's concerning, and I'm trying to hash out what's actually happening. After reversing at slow speed (from a parking spot for example) and then shifting into drive, I've felt what appeared to be uncommanded throttle response. The cruise control engages as if it had been set to 15mph and trying to accelerate to that speed. Being in a parking space and shifting to drive, I was at a stand still. This morning, after backing out of driveway, slowing to a near stop, and selecting drive, it felt like the truck had a significant throttle engagement which I imeddiately had to brake. The cruise control had again engaged to 15mph and was green signifying it was active and accelerating to catch up to the 15mph. This occurs immediately when shifting from reverse to drive. The only common factor I can isolate to is when backing, if I simply shift to drive after slowing to a near stop, without braking, it engages. I cannot replicate and Ford says they are not aware of any issues.

POWER TRAIN
When driving vehicle, started experiencing intermittent power loss, not showing on the tach, turbo or gear selection readouts. Power would appear to diminish only to re-catch. Thought I had maybe gotten some bad gas. Waited until the gas tank was empty and refilled with premium. Problem continued another day or two. Then, while driving on the freeway in Texas, at 75 mph, i experienced the same drop of power, but this time instead of picking right back up, there was a loud "thunk" and then total loss of acceleration and the wrench light appeared on the dash. I had to "limp" the truck across three lanes to the shoulder. After re-starting, the truck engaged and I was able to continue the drive, still experiencing the intermittent power loss. I took the truck to the dealership same day, and received a call the next day that the transmission was failing and needed to be completely replaced ($9,000+) repair that was not going to be covered by extended warranty. I believe this is a known issue with the Ford 10 speed transmission (see lots of communications about this exact problem) and should be covered by an active recall!
