FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
While driving, my 2022 Ford F-150 equipped with the 2.7L EcoBoost experienced abnormal engine operation, a check-engine light, and reduced engine power. The unexpected reduction in available engine power created a safety concern because loss of acceleration or propulsion can be dangerous when merging, crossing traffic, passing, or traveling at highway speeds. The vehicle was inspected and diagnosed by an authorized Ford dealership. The PCM stored DTC P0332, Knock/Combustion Vibration Sensor “B” Circuit Low. The dealer performed Ford Pinpoint Test DG. Testing reportedly found no open circuit, short to ground, short to voltage, or intermittent circuit fault. The dealer determined that the knock-sensor assembly required replacement.The repair involves replacement of Ford knock-sensor assembly FT4Z-12A699-E, which contains both knock sensors. Access to the assembly requires extensive disassembly of engine fuel and cooling-system components. Ford’s service procedure includes removal of both direct-injection fuel rails, draining the cooling system, removal of the coolant pump, and removal of the coolant outlet connector.I am concerned about the possibility of coolant leakage or contamination affecting the knock-sensor assembly because of its location in relation to cooling-system components. I do not currently know whether coolant contamination caused this particular failure. I request that NHTSA investigate whether coolant leakage or contamination in this area contributes to premature knock-sensor failures on 2.7L EcoBoost engines. I have also identified another 2022 Ford F-150 with the 2.7L EcoBoost that was diagnosed by a Ford dealership with a similar knock-sensor circuit-low fault, P0327 also quoted replacement of the same FT4Z-12A699-E assembly. I request investigation knock-sensor failures on 2.7L EcoBoost F-150s, including Ford warranty/field data and whether coolant leakage or contamination contributes to failures capable of causing unexpected reduced engine powe

SERVICE BRAKES
I was driving and went to press the brakes and the pedal went to the floor. The truck would not stop right away and then the rear tires locked up. Light came on the dash ABS, service traction control and brake system failure, this was a similar issue with the 2021 and 2025 model having issues with the EBB/ECU that was on recall.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
My truck was parked on a slight slope in my driveway. I got in to move the truck to my normal parking space. When I started the truck I noticed the emergency brake was on. I put the truck into drive- the truck accelerated with my foot on the brake. The truck struck the corner of my deck and didn't stop until I hit the corner at my house. I had the brake pushed to the firewall and the truck would kept accelerating. Thankfully the airbags did not deploy. Significant damage was done to my house and my truck.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Failure by Ford to fix a fuel pump issue that has been known since Feb 2025. Should a vehicle stall while being operated due to this issue it could lead to a crash. I would think such a serious safety issue would be addressed and fixed to prevent unnecessary accidents/injuries/death.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
My 2022 Ford F-150 has experienced intermittent delayed starting, uneven idle, and hesitation during acceleration. At times, the engine sounds and feels as though it may shut off. I began noticing these symptoms several months ago, and the most recent occurrence was approximately August 2026. I do not recall seeing any warning lamps or warning messages when these symptoms occurred. The vehicle has not yet been inspected or diagnosed by a Ford dealer or independent repair facility for these specific symptoms, and the cause has not been confirmed. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. I am concerned because my vehicle is affected by Ford Recall 25S75 / NHTSA Recall 25V455 involving potential fuel pump failure and loss of fuel pressure, which may result in poor engine performance and engine stalling. I am concerned that the symptoms I am experiencing could create a safety risk if the engine loses power or shuts off while driving.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55-65 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The check engine and battery warning lights were illuminated. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V455000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, and the failure was associated with the recall and a diagnostic trouble code related to the ECM reprogramming for the fuel system. The vehicle was towed to the local Ford dealer, who diagnosed the vehicle with a fuel system failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 29,043.

On two occasions vehicle failed 3-4 upshift and abruptly shifted into first instead. Transmission harshness/flaring. I am experiencing intermittent flaring/slippage and harshness with the 3-4 upshift and 4-3 downshift, 4-5 upshift, and 7-8 upshift. Most of the time, it exhibits as a flare/slip/bogging down during the 3-4 upshift, sometimes accompanied by a slam once it catches. Less often there is a slam during the 4-3 downshift or 3-1 downshift, especially when coming to a stop. The issue is more pronounced when the transmission is cold but does occur when fully warmed up, just far less frequently.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LED strip for the headlight assembly burned out. No known repair other than to replace the whole headlight assembly for $2500. This is a common issue with a poor design from ford and can cause visibility and safety issues with the vehicle. The dealership at beach ford in myrtle beach, sc swapped LED modules to make sure it wasn’t a programming or module issue, the symptom did not change headlights.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The felt under shield on the Ford F150 ha came detached three times. I have replaced it each time. When I returned to the Ford dealer I was told not to replace because it will get wet and fall off again. More importantly they said it was not needed. Its function is to reduce noise and keep mud, dirt, and rain from getting under the vehicle. I was told if I wanted to replace it I could get an after market product made of metal to stop if from breaking. The part that breaks is the felt connection where it screws into the underbody. My point is that if the Ford dealership tells me I don't need it why is it there in the first place? Next, Ford dealerships know this is a problem, there are many complains on the Ford internet sites. Because it has happened so many times to me and others Ford should have a recall and they should pay for the metal replacement. This should be a class action suit because Ford manufacture and Ford dealers know it is a problem, but still sell the vehicle knowing the issue.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
I purchased a 2022 Ford F150 in September 2024. I began to notice occasional sluggishness when accelerating as the weather warmed up around March 2025. I contacted my local Ford dealership sharing the issue. The service manager suggested I consistently use a high octane fuel, which I consistently do, explaining I may just have "bad gas". The problem continued primarily when I was in heavy traffic with high temperatures. The truck acted as if it had a clogged fuel injector, sluggishness from start, low idle reducing below 1,000 RPM. I contacted a privately owned mechanic shop advising of my idle issues. The mechanic stated he doesn't believe a fuel injector would clog at 50,000 miles. In June 2025 received notification of a recall for my vehicle which I confirmed by VIN. The recall (#25V455) summarized the vehicle could sustain a loss of fuel pressure and flow from the fuel tank due to fuel pump failure. The letter continued, I may experience poor engine performance, rough idle or reduction in power, the same issues I had been complaining about. I contacted the Ford dealership and they explained Ford had not determined how to remedy the problem. Fast forwarding to present, 3 August 2026, over a year since the recall letter and Ford has yet to remedy the problem. What's the hold up? Will Ford finally determine the remedy when my family is killed on the interstate because the vehicles fuel pump fails and it stalls? It appears to be apparent Ford does not want to take the financial hit of such a recall. This is unacceptable and needs to be looked into by the NTSB.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I am reporting a safety-related defect involving the 10R80 automatic transmission in my 2022 Ford F-150 STX. While slowing to a stop during normal driving, the transmission unexpectedly performed an extremely harsh downshift. The truck jerked forward violently as it shifted into a lower gear, making it difficult to slow the vehicle in a smooth and predictable manner. This occurred without warning and created a dangerous situation while approaching an intersection. A vehicle should decelerate in a controlled and predictable way. Instead, the sudden downshift upset the vehicle’s behavior and reduced my confidence in its safe operation. If this happens in heavy traffic, on wet roads, or near pedestrians, it could easily contribute to a crash. This is not simply an issue of comfort or drivability. It is a safety concern because it affects the driver’s ability to safely control the vehicle. My truck is equipped with Ford’s 10R80 transmission, which has been the subject of thousands of owner complaints describing harsh downshifts, delayed engagement, slipping, gear hunting, and other dangerous shifting behavior. Publicly available technical information also discusses failures involving the CDF clutch cylinder and sleeve, which can cause hydraulic pressure loss and unpredictable transmission operation. Based on my experience and the large number of similar reports from other owners, I believe this issue deserves a thorough safety investigation. NHTSA should review warranty claims, dealer repair records, transmission replacements, technical service information, and consumer complaints to determine whether this transmission contains a safety-related defect that warrants a recall or other corrective action. Owners should not have to wait until a harsh downshift causes a serious collision before this issue is addressed. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this defect and require an effective repair to protect drivers, passengers, and everyone sharing the road

I am reporting a safety-related transmission problem I experienced with my 2022 Ford F-150 equipped with the 10R80 automatic transmission. While driving normally, the transmission suddenly shift hard in lower gears. It upshifts hard and downshifts really hard, it feels like someone runs into you. This occurs in stop and go traffic or slow moving traffic creating a potentially dangerous situation because the truck did not respond as expected when I needed predictable acceleration or propulsion and braking. I believe this incident may be related to the known 10R80 CDF clutch-cylinder/sleeve problem. Ford technical information identifies axial movement of the CDF sleeve that can cause hydraulic-circui

I am reporting a safety-related transmission problem I experienced with my 2022 Ford F-150 equipped with the 10R80 automatic transmission. While driving normally, the transmission shifts in fourth thinks about it then applies the power This occurred while I merge onto the interstate creating a scary moment of trying to get up to speed with the traffic and it happens often , creating a potentially dangerous situation because the truck did not respond as expected when I needed predictable acceleration or propulsion. I believe this incident may be related to the known 10R80 CDF clutch-cylinder/sleeve problem. Ford technical information identifies axial movement of the CDF sleeve that can cause hydraulic-circuit leaks and harsh or delayed engagement and shifting. This condition can result in slipping, RPM flares, delayed engagement, unexpected gear changes, harsh downshifts, lurching, or loss of propulsion. This is a safety concern, not merely a transmission quality or reliability issue. Unexpected loss of propulsion or unpredictable shifting while merging, accelerating into traffic, crossing an intersection, turning, or traveling at highway speed can create a collision hazard. Because I personally experienced this unexpected transmission event, I request that NHTSA investigate the 10R80 CDF clutch-cylinder/sleeve condition in Ford F-150s. Please review Ford warranty claims, dealer repair records, transmission replacements, consumer complaints, and field-failure data to determine whether this is a safety defect requiring a recall. I believe owners should not have to wait for a potentially dangerous transmission failure before this known condition is addressed.

2017–2023 F-150 OWNERS — 10R80 TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS: PLEASE REPORT TO NHTSA I’ve experienced hard/violent shifting, slipping, RPM flares, delayed engagement, unexpected downshifts, lurching, loss of a gear, loss of propulsion, or other abnormal behavior from the 10R80 transmission, and am filing a safety complaint with NHTSA. This isn't just about an expensive transmission repair. Unexpected loss of propulsion or unpredictable shifting can become a serious safety issue, especially when merging onto a highway, accelerating into traffic, crossing an intersection, turning, or trying to avoid another vehicle. Ford has technical information addressing the CDF clutch-cylinder/sleeve issue in 10R80-equipped F-150s. The documented condition involves movement of the CDF sleeve that can cause hydraulic-circuit leaks and result in harsh or delayed engagement and shifting. I am reporting a safety-related transmission problem I experienced with my 2022 Ford F-150 equipped with the 10R80 automatic transmission. While driving normally, the transmission suddenly failed to engage, shifted violently, RPMs flared, and unexpectedly downshifted. This occurred while driving normally (accelerating, merging onto a highway, turning, crossing an intersection, traveling at highway speed, stop-and-go traffic, etc.), creating a potentially dangerous situation because the truck did not respond as expected when I needed predictable acceleration or propulsion. I believe this incident may be related to the known 10R80 CDF clutch-cylinder/sleeve problem. Ford technical information identifies axial movement of the CDF sleeve that can cause hydraulic-circuit leaks and harsh or delayed engagement and shifting. This condition can result in slipping, RPM flares, delayed engagement, unexpected gear changes, harsh downshifts, lurching, or loss of propulsion. This is a safety concern, not merely a transmission quality or reliability issue. Unexpected loss of propulsion or unpredictable shifting.
