Horn stopped working unexpectedly. Took it to my mechanic who pulled the horn for replacement. The one in the truck had literally melted, luckily not causing a fire.

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 did not engage when I turned a corner when in 2nd gear it disengaged and I coasted to side of road safely good thing there was no traffic. I then noticed that the transmission would slip (not hard just slightly 1st-5th gears). This has happened a few times especially when I first start moving. This is 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 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 Fords f150s. Please review Fords 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.

NHTSA complaint #11754229 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

Vehicle in drive under normal daily driving conditions and vehicle suddenly lost power and stopped. Unable to restart vehicle and shifter is stuck in drive and does not shift to park. Similar to recall 22S43. According to dealership, they thought the issue occurred due to towing and assumed it was a electronic issue with the vehicle shifter. Prior to this incident, there was a strange type of kick back in the shifter but it never kicked out of gear though it seemed like it might. There were also warning dings that did not have any kind of message on the dash - it wasn't clear if this was tied to the shifter.

In April 2026 the recall on this truck was done to correct a fault for the Trailer Disconnect. I hooked up my travel trailer for the 1st time here in June and the false warning still came on 5 times during my trip. The software update that was done is not solving the problem. Warning light comes on, says trailer disconnected while the trailer is still connected and all connections are plugged in.

Day time running lamps on the side of the headlight have burnt out. First time it was the passenger side that died, had it replaced under warranty. then a few month later after my warranty was up, the driver side has now died as well. The fact I have had this truck 2 and a half year and both have failed is unacceptable. I see every single F150 on the road with THE EXACT SAME ISSUE! This isn't a fluke or bad luck on my vehicle. From my research online, tons of others are complaining about it too. The dealership wanted $2400.00 to replace it, with what is likely another faulty light that would have the same issue in a few years. This is a hazard to myself and others because my vehicle isn't lit up like it should be so that I am visible to others on the road. Also I have had 4 or 5 water leaks in the brief time of owning this truck that ford has blamed on me. Water gets in and collects on the passenger side floorboard under the carpet. I have been without my vehicle multiple times while they attempted to get a specialist to find the issue. Had to pay for my own rental vehicle for a week because they " dont give out loaners" even when you are under warranty.

NHTSA states to file a complaint if there has been no remedy in reference to a safety recall in a timely manner. As of to date there is still an open recall on my truck and Ford has stated the recall is incomplete due to no remedy yet available. This recall has been in place since 12/22/23. My truck did have a broken hub bolt and I believe the dealership replaced the passenger rear axle hub. The dealership told me that this is only a temporary repair until Ford comes up with a remedy.

There is a problem with the heating controls. The temperature will be set at 72 and is stable for awhile, even days, then will spontaneously heat until it's unbearably hot. This is a huge distraction while driving to having to keep messing with the controls. Safety issue! After numerous complaints to Ford's service department with no results as the technicians cannot duplicate issue and there are no codes. Purchased a thermal imaging camera: 97.8 dash vents, 55.1 at knees and 80 degrees at feet (driver's side). This is not a situation where the heating system is just trying to bring the cab up to temperature as this occurs when the truck has already been on the road for over an hour at a comfortable temperature and then it just erratically starts spewing out unbearable temperatures. I have thermal imaging pictures as high as 153 degrees Fahrenheit while the set temperature is 70. Something definitely wrong. I am submitting this complaint as I am tired of turning the truck in for repairs. Maybe if enough people say something, Ford will do something.

When at a signal light with the brake pushed, we are experiencing an issue where the whole vehicle will unexpectedly lurch forward as if hit from behind after coming to a stop. This could possibly result in the truck hitting the vehicle in front of you if you are in tight traffic. Our local dealer inspected but could not find a solution.

This is the 3rd time this has happened since purchasing this vehicle. Purchased on 7/27/24. The previous 2 times it resolved itself and the vehicle started and ran with no apparent issues afterwards.1st was on 8/05/24, 2nd was on 10/14/24. On this 3rd and current time I went to start the vehicle and vehicle would not start. The lights and radio work but the vehicle did not start. Only displayed a stop safely now message on the instrument panel. This is one of my worse fears happening as I type this. I'm stranded with a vehicle that will not start and my father is on his death bed with no way to get to him....

HVAC temperature does not regulate in the winter months. When the temperature is set to the 60’s the vehicle continues to blow air in the 80’s. It gets extremely hot and the only way to cool down is by setting the temperature to low, turning on the a/c, or opening a window. This is with ambient temperatures in the 20’s-30’s

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The rear backup camera fails to show in the display and/or freezes. This happens inconsistently so it is not easy to reproduce. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? When backing up and using the camera, when the camera feed freezes it could look like nothing is behind the vehicle. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No. The problem has been happening since the vehicle was purchased.

Another Ford F150 Supercrew leak from the front cowling area into the passenger floorboards. This is a 2022 Hybrid F150 Supercrew built during COVID and purchased March 9, 2022. There are too many reports online of leaks due to lack of sealing components where large aluminum parts meet. For example the fender and the cowling area. This particular leak is having a dealership spend 17 book hours at $215 per hour plus parts to fix a defect in workmanship. Ford is offering to partailly pay for the fix since the vehicle is 6000 miles out of warranty. The fact it is a defect in workmanship is not a consideration. It was never sealed. Thank you

The driver's side rear shock mounting bracket weld broke. This creates a suspension and safety problem as the rear bracket and shock are moving and could interfere with the wheel/axle. The problem was confirmed by a dealer and independent service center. An engineer from Ford Motor Co. inspected the failure. There were no warning or other symptoms of the problem other than a squeaking noise while driving.

I need a remedy, I have contacted Asheville, NC Ford dealership, they said they would talk to a manager and get back to me. I am concerned about my safety with continued use of my new truck. I need Ford to take this matter seriously.

Vehicle loss of power!! After turning occasionally I will only have enough power to remain at low low speed. Sometimes having to pull over to side of the road because I can’t gain speed and traffic is coming quickly. Problem lasts 30 seconds or more before it kicks in. Doesn’t matter if my foot is pressed to the floor there is no response.

My truck has BlueCruise technology. I have noted that the technology can be dangerous and drive me off the road, particularly in an area of an Interstate I drive often. Each time I go through that area, it will drive me off the road if I don't catch it. Always in the same place and in the same way.

We have been stranded twice for the recall issued in late January 2024, for the rear axle. The truck is currently at the 5th dealership since January2024. The truck is not driveable and Ford still does not have a way to fix the issue. We are having the axle replaced for the second time by a Ford dealership, with no assurance that they have determined how to solve the problem. We picked the truck up from the last axle repair on 2-21-24. We had a rear wheel sensor issue on 3-6-24, after driving less than 1000 miles. On 3-28-24, the axle defect occurred again. The truck was towed again. The Ford website says they do not yet have a solution, yet their certified mechanics continue to “fix” the issue.

Recently completed the safety recall for my 2022 F150 axle bolt replacement. The dealer informed me that this is a "repair" and not a solution to why the axle bolt broke leading to replacement of both the left and right axle shafts. My dealer service manager told me Ford does not have a permanent "fix" to the axle bolt problem and will keep my recall service ticket open as this bolt may break again. I am concerned about my safety driving this truck now. Please assist with my issue and others who are experiencing this same problem.

Sync 4 with the B&O unleashed system. Yes anytime. Extremely loud noises came from speakers upon startup of engine. It continued for several minutes accompanied by loud static as well. Ears hurt for hours after. This happened with 2700 miles on speedometer. Has happened 2 more times since. Dealer acts like I don't know what I am talking about and got little answer Dealer unable to duplicate. Manufacturer has not reached out to me There was no warning of the occurrences at any time. Extremely unsafe to operate when it can happen with out warning. If no fix I will be unleashing this truck to another poor sapp.

Overview: Intermittent issue with audio system in vehicle making/playing EXTREMELY LOUD popping noise out of speakers randomly and with no warning. Sounds like someone is setting off explosions or a firearm inside the cabin, playing from all(?) or most of the speakers. Happens randomly and intermittently with no determinant cause. Might be driving, parked, etc.. sometimes it will be a month or so before it happens again, sometimes 2x a day. Cannot stress how loud it is when it does happen, hearing damage levels. Happened again today (7/31/23) while parked (truck running) with my 11mo son sleeping in the back (was just sitting in the parking lot waiting for him to wake up before heading into the store). He was absolutely terrified. Ford dealership service has looked into it before, but since we can't replicate the issue on command there doesn't seem to be much they can do. There are many reports online of other folks having the same issue. Safety: Aside from the loudness of the issue, this is a major safety hazard. The audio issue is so loud and unexpected that if it happened at the wrong time It could easily cause an accident. One doesn't expect to suddenly hear cannons going off when merging into traffic on the freeway, and it could result in erratic maneuvers as one makes a panic response to what sounds like gunfire. Problem has been unable to be replicated (in my case) at the dealer. Vehicle has been inspected/evaluated multiple times. No warning lamps/indicators/messages correspond to this, other than random and recurring issues with the infotainment system and other problems that seem ongoing.

Started vehicle and plugged phone im to play music/charge. Immediately, there was an incredible loud sound: it sounded almost like a gun shot. There was then a loud crackling sound which sounded like glass shattering. It scared me considerably. Thankfully I was parked. I shut the vehicle off and restarted. There was no more noise, but all audio ceased to work. Approximately 3 hours later, the problem went away when I went back put to start the vehicle. If this were to happen while traveling, especially in traffic, it could case a dangerous situation.

While turning on my car, there was an extremely loud pop and deafening noise "exploding" in the truck cabin. If I had been driving at the time, the sudden and extreme noise would have caused me to react in a way to lose control of the vehicle. The noise was easy over 120db. It is been two hours since it happened and my ears are still hurting. I had to remove the radio fuse for this to stop. The issue has been reported to Ford by many users multiple times and no actions have been taken by Ford (see multiple cases here: https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/extremely-loud-electrical-pop-followed-by-loud-static.9591/). There were not warning lamps or messages when this happened.
