Ear-splitting static-like noise upon starting the truck. Followed by loud static that would persist even when audio was turned off. Extremely distracting while driving. Took to dealer who said nothing to be done until Ford figures out a fix. Told me to keep checking back. No warning lamps or messages. I wish Ford to put a higher priority on fixing this issue. 2022 F150.

Engine shut down while traveling down a mountain with a 4.8% grade at 50 mph; the transmission was in 3rd gear to contain the speed with no pressure on the brakes. There was an initial chime as when the vehicle is first turned ON, followed by the wipers traveling halfway up the windshield, all screens went completely dark as if the vehicles key had also been turned OFF. Brakes were initially soft and then on subsequent push came back. Vehicle went through it's normal power up cycle and then engine restarted as I was still traveling at a good speed down the mountain. The engine has shut off on it's own before with all screens going dark while sitting at stop lights. To get it restarted I had to put the vehicle in park, press the brake and push the start button. I assumed this issue was with the auto start/stop feature and now always drive with it selected off. I've never had this issue with it off. This was the first time the issue happened while the truck was in gear and moving. The auto Start/Stop feature was ON. For previous issues I've had the Ford dealership check it and no error codes or issues were found.

A/C and hvac system does not work properly. On lowest setting you have somewhat cool air and once you turn dial to 60 degrees it-??s heat. This is unsafe because I can not regulate the temperature in vehicle correctly whatsoever and trying to defrost windows is also a nightmare. The air conditioning is also not even cold enough on its lowest setting. Multiple people are having same issues with 2022-2023 f150s

The display screen went black. Without it there is no back up camera ( and many other features). This is a king cab long bed. Very dangerous to drive without these important safety features working properly. The dealer says it is a -??common problem-??. It is a $1500 repair if it were not still under warranty.

The climate control system will malfunction and make the cab of the truck unbearably hot, even to the point of physical discomfort at the feet of the driver. The air is so hot blowing on the drivers feet that I have to remove my feet from the pedals to cool. This is a major distraction to the driver. The dealer says this is normal. No warnings or alarm messages.

While driving down the highway, my 2022 Ford F-150 Tremor randomly caught on fire. I was driving down the highway and was flagged down by other drivers to let me know the bottom of the truck was on fire. I pulled over and luckily someone had a fire extinguisher and we were able to get the fire under control. The fire department was also called and they also helped put out the fire after their arrival. The truck has always been serviced at a Ford dealer and had gone in for an oil change less than 350 miles prior to the truck catching fire.

Speakers (B&O) - I turned on the vehicle from a cold start and I began to hear what I thought was rats invading the rear interior of the vehicle, I heard a loud crunching noise. I turned the stereo down and it was not as pronounced. I began to drive and the sound continued loud cracking and soft at times coming from the front and rear speakers. It was annoying and very loud popping at times. It did not stop when I turned the radio down but it did stop when I got to my destination 10 minutes later. The issue has not reoccurred since but I feel like the rear speakers are not as loud as they once were. I did. It feel my safety was in jeopardy but the sounds was annoyingly loud. No warning lights came on and the Ford app stated there were no problems. I have not yet brought the vehicle I got the dealer. I will be scheduling in the coming days.

Upon starting my pickup after work a loud static sounding noise was heard coming from the speakers in the rear doors and in the A pillars of the vehicle. I was unable to get the noise to stop even if the radio was turned off. I had no control of the volume coming out of the speakers and it seemed that it was as loud as they could go. The noise was not always constant, sometimes quieting down for 10 to 15 seconds at a time. However, I have a half hour drive to get home and this sound was continuous for the entire drive. The noise was loud enough that I feel hearing protection would be required to operate the vehicle. I drove the vehicle to the dealership where I had purchased it and made an appointment to have the issue resolved.

Randomly and suddenly while driving on OH State Route 98, my vehicle started a ROARING audio expulsion that could NOT be stopped. It was coming from EVERY speaker and at MAXIMUM volume and lasted for about 45 minute. I tried audio controls, I pulled over on the side of the road and shut down my vehicle. I opened my door to "complete" the computer shut off. I tried randomly pulling fuses to no avail. I did NOT have tools to remove the battery connection. It produced such power that a distinct odor of electrical fire was present. I did NOT witness flame, but I was very worried it was soon to happen. I drove to dealer. All controls SEEMED to work normally. The audio was dangerously loud and we recorded a video / audio.

Max tow package 3/4 floating rear passenger side axle retention bolt twisted until snapped off. Only thing keeping the rear wheel/axle setup on the truck was the brake caliper.... Ford tech said they have so many in for this issue they don't have the parts in stock anymore. There was a recall issued for some 2021 models but this continues to effect 2022s and 2023s.

When in my vehicle, there is a very loud POP and STATIC that is sufficiently loud that it is startling and dangerous. I've experienced this issue 3 times now. I contacted Ford, and their support team just pointed me to my dealer. This issue will eventually cause someone to crash, lose hearing, cause a seizure, etc.. Very dangerous. After experiencing the issue, I began doing online searches and find that this issue has been reported across multiple platforms including news and forums. It appears that the issue exists with the B&O sound system. My dealer claimed they weren't sure what the problem was, but that they could take a look and try to figure it out. I think this is a serious enough issue that the Ford and the dealers should prioritize the repair as this is far more serious than an errant windshield wiper (one of the recalls).

While driving, parked or switching to reverse the stereo will emit a very loud noise. Best described as an electronic explosion that lingers. It doesn't just go BOOM it goes BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM and lasts up to 70 seconds so far. It has even happened when turning the truck off and it persists after everything is off. Ford dealer says "everything is fine" this is a video of it doing it.

The vehicle has fallen out of neutral tow mode while being towed behind motor home twice. First time happened April 10, 2022 and the second was August 23, 2023. The first time it ruined the transfer case and transmission, a dealer in Georgia replaced those and all 4 tires. The second time we were able to stop with only tire damage. Both times we were driving on the highway. Both times the neutral tow mode was set through the dash board of the F150. There were no warning lights only smoke from the truck and motorhome slowing down due to F150 not rolling. Neither incident involved police, we were able to pull off to side out of traffic.

The loud sound of shattered glass and of glass cracking played over the sound system. This is the second time it has happened to us. Turning off the F150 and opening the door did not help it stop. This is very scary when driving. Since it happened before, I didn-??t panic this time, but it is a reoccurring problem that could contribute to an accident.

Component: Stereo + Speakers I was put at risk because of the extremely loud sound coming from the speakers that I could not control. I was unable to hear traffic around me or concentrate on driving. It startled me so much I almost swerved into traffic. It was inspected by the manufacturer and they performed a reprogramming of the (audio controller?). There were no other warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to the problem. It first appeared after owning the vehicle for 6 months. Details of incidents: I have had this happen 6 times: Turn on vehicle. Explosive POP comes from the speakers followed by no sound. Volume controls are unresponsive. No audio plays. After 15-20 seconds, the audio returns and volume controls are responsive again. I have had this happen 2 times: Turn on vehicle. Explosive POP comes from the speakers followed by continual max volume static. Volume controls are unresponsive. Restarting the vehicle does not fix the problem. Static continues for up to 40 minutes. Once vehicle was turned off for more than a few minutes, the problem stopped and audio returned to normal.
