ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
At 30k I noticed the transmission start shifting hard especially when down shifting. I called the dealer and expressed by concerns when doing my normal oil changes. The dealer said it was normal. Now at 42k the truck skips 2nd gear and when shifting between 3rd and 4th it hits hard. Also an independent mechanic shop said the engine is making a weird winding sound. Sounds like the barring in the turbos are going. Again I tell the dealer and they said it's normal for the 3.5 ecoboost to sound like that. Currently it's at the dealer getting the transmission worked on. I know I will be having engine issues, that sound is not normal. I want it on record that it started happening around 30k.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I have a 2022 F-150 STX 4x4 with 47000 miles. It has been making a strange creaking/clicking/popping noise from the rear diff/axles when slowing to a stopped position and when accelerating from a stopped position. It is present during all drives. I am concerned that it within the drivetrain which gives me concern that it could cause to the vehicle and or passengers.

POWER TRAIN, VISIBILITY/WIPER
My vehicle had a wiper motor recall that came out when I bought it. I had to wait 2 years for parts and I had it done in May of this year. Vehicle harldy sees any rain so the wipers have only been used a few times since then. Well today I was driving and it started to rain and the wipers wouldn't turn on. What's the point of a recall if they are just going to install more defective parts. Sad part is the original wiper motor worked with no problems. Also this engine has cylinder deactivation on it and is operating when it isn't suppose to. So if I'm accelerating from a dead stop it turns on cylinder deactivation and I loose power and acceleration. The ford dealers and ford customer service people don't care I have an unsafe vehicle.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:TV/RADIO/SPEAKERS
I have a 2022 Ford F-150 Platinum with B&O Sound system. Yesterday, while driving I experienced a loud boom followed by loud staticky crackling sounds coming from the sound system. I thought I had been hit by another vehicle or somebody had thrown something at the car. I stopped immediately to see if glass was broken and got out of vehicle for fear it was going to burn or blow up. The crackling sound continued even after turning off the sound system and turning off the vehicle. The crackling continued for approximately 30 minutes. This morning, I started the car and the crackling sound was not present. This is a safety issue because it caused me to be alarmed and behave in abrupt manner to get out of the car, and may have even caused hearing damage.

I was slowing to a stop at a stoplight in traffic when the brake pedal dropped to the floor and the truck was no longer slowing. The ABS, Anti collision, and check brake system lights all illuminated. I was able to slow the truck and place in park to stop. Vehicle was taken to dealership where it was found to be in perfect condition according to the mechanic. I have been told that I should have no issue taking the vehicle although nothing has been resolved.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:INSTRUMENT PANEL:SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER
We have been having repeated problems with the dash freezing in place for several days needing a battery to be disconnected to reset the issue. When the issue is going on, the dash is completely frozen in place. There is no way to know how much fuel is left, how fast you are going or anything else from the cluster due to it not changing at all. When the issues were brought to the dealers attention, they were shown a video of the problem occurring. But were unable to replicate the issue and thus did nothing but notate they didn't see it happen. The vehicle is owned by the Law Enforcement agency and it is not feasible to have the officer come into the dealership when the issue is acting up. The primary safety issues we see is the possibility of the vehicle running out of gas on the highway and causing a accident. Speeding concerns since the officers have no way of knowing their speed. Maintenance concerns since even the odometer is frozen so there is no way to track when its ready for service.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
This complaint is concerning the recall 22C22 for the 2022 Ford F150 park lamps flickering, I took my vehicle in for service to get this recall performed because the recall was open, when I picked up my vehicle I was told that the recall had just been put on hold by Ford, this was around August 15, 2024. I was also told that I would be contacted by them, the dealership/service advisor when the recall was open again, this has not happened, its been several weeks and I have not heard anything back, I have called Ford and also done a live chat with them over my Ford Pass app and still have no answers. The park lamps continue to flicker to the point that one of the headlights is beginning to fail, the LED DRL are very dim or just don't light up at all anymore, these are the same lights that flicker so much and so often that they look like strobe lights, Ford is saying that this is unrelated which I firmly believe it's not accurate, the excessive flickering very likely caused the lights to fail. Now they want me to take it in to them and get it diagnosed and to replace the headlight assembly which cost well over $1200 dollars just for the part. They have failed to address the actual cause of the problem to begin with. LED park lamps should not fail on a 2 year old vehicle, in most cases LED light should last years and possibly even the life of the vehicle. I am a Master Technician for a major automotive brand and also ASE certified with over 30 years of experience and I firmly believe that the flickering will continue to damage the headlights on these vehicles.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Vehicle will randomly lose airflow from any vents, including defroster vent after travelling for a while with AC on. If window happens to fog up while driving there is no way to blow air across it, Brought to dealer a week after purchase with 4K miles on it, and they supposedly did a software fix on a evaporater temperature sensor to stop the AC line from freezing, and restoring airflow. Worked for a couple of months but now the airflow is randomly stopping from the vents. After vehicle sits the problem goes away and can't be readily duplicated for dealer to fix, but obviously something is happening. Will bring back to dealer and see what they say.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I've experienced the loss of power during hard acceleration. Right hand turns from a stop feel like the engine has stalled and rolling right hand turns are becoming increasingly more dangerous. Most recently as I was merging onto a highway. Pedal to the floor, the truck initi9ally accelerated for a couple seconds until it stalled to make the truck not only not accelerate but almost made it feel as if I was breaking. This is very dangerous.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
Cruising highway speeds, when accelerator is pressed to gain speed, make a pass, ect the transmission downshifts into 3rd gear, engine losses all power for 4-8 seconds while accelerator is held down. I’ve almost been in several accidents due to expecting a vehicle to accelerate and nothing happening and traffic
