While operating my 2016 Ford F150 lariat FX4 in 4A mode, I hear a audibly low noise emanating from the front end of the vehicle as I accelerate. This noise is accompanied by a slight vibration that is felt transmitting through the accelerator pedal. The noise and vibration is only detected while accelerating and only while engaged in 4A mode. There is no detectable noise or vibration in 2H, 4H, or 4L modes. This condition is present under normal operating conditions and during ideal weather conditions. Driving on flat, straight highways and roads, nor turning or towing does not affect the noise or vibration that I am detecting from the front end of the vehicle.

The truck has had issues with the hillassist failure, then check engine light then wrench light causing the truck to go from 45 mph to 2mph without notice. The throttle bottle also went out on this truck causing the truck to go from 45 mph to 2 mph in traffic, this is the Ford wrench light. On two seperate occasions, when starting the truck and releasing the parking brake, a parking brake malfunction light flashes, then when trying to move the truck into gear it will move from park to drive to reverse, but will not move. Please contact me asap. I have a detailed list of dates and occurances along with all email conversations with Ford. Ford soes not believe this is a problem and seems to ignore the safety concerns.
