It was the transmission. It downshifted at a high speed going down the highway. Took it to the dealership and they said they could see it downshifted but had no fix for it or did not know why.

Still waiting for a fix. Been over a year for a fix but still nothing.

Sudden, loud static and crackling noises emitting from the B/O Unleashed sound system. It was so sudden, loud and startling, I could see it scaring a driver enough to make them panic and cause an accident. I was concerned that it was going to blow the speakers.

The panoramic sunroof on 2022 Ford F150 spontaneously exploded while traveling down a smooth road with no traffic around.

Loud noise like bomb went off when started vehicle then static in radio speakers wouldn-??t stop. I have a 2022 ford f150 lariat with B&O unleashed speakers. Lots of complaints and told to report this issue. Radio came on next day but scared it will happen again.

Windshield wipers stop working for minutes at a time. Then work and pause off an on half way up the Windshield. The tailgate won't stay up. It will drop open all on its own when driving even when it's locked.

My rear passenger side window will not go back up. It is constantly receiving power to pull the roll the window down. This is a known problem in the community. If you visit any Ford F-150, Explorer, or Maverick forum, there are post about work arounds on how to get the window up and temporarily get the window to stay up until the part comes in to repair it the correct way. Many of the people are posting that it is a known problem and the Dealerships are just "Yeah, we know, the parts are on back order, we can get you scheduled when it comes in". My argument is that if it is a known issue, why is the Manufacturer waiting until the owner reports it to perform the repair. Especially, because due to the constant power being applied, it could burn up the power window motor, safety interlocks for auto up/down, or if the materials get too hot eventually causing other electrical issues. From what I have found online it appears to be a known problem affecting mainly 2021-2022 year model vehicles.

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.

The display becomes unresponsive randomly and driver cannot use camera to reverse the vehicle until vehicle is completed turned off, locked and unlock it and start again. This creates a safety hazard in the middle of reversing vehicle and also creates a confusion while using navigation.

Fresh air intake cowling allows small debris to build up and does not allow consumer ability to clean/service it. This results in water backing up and spilling to AC filter and blower motor, thus leaking into passenger side of cab. Dealer and Ford state this is a non-warrantable item, and that the consumer should be aware to maintain it themselves despite being able to. Dealership also does not clean this during routine service, nor notify the consumer about it condition.

The attached document will explain in details about the back up failing on multiple occasions and Ford Motor Company has no fixes for this at this time. It is a SAFETY concern due to the back up camera with small children around. This is the third APIM module since Jan 2024. Now Ford says tells their dealers not to do anything with them to wait until around October or November and they will send out another bulletin on how to handle this problem. Then once that is done who knows how long it take. Big Safety issue here. F150 is the number one selling truck on the road as Ford says so that makes this even a bigger issue.

Cover for transmission/exhaust/engine on underside of vehicle tears at mount pint and hangs down and could completly tear away causing potential vehicle damge or damage to other vehicles on road. Problem is noted on internet forums as Ford's saggy diaper problem. Cover is made of a non durable foam-fabric material and is mounted by 4 screws and tears away by mount points and hangs down. This is 2nd time happening on truck, first time was replaced under warranty. Picutre is taken after I pushed it back into place but is still torn by mounting bolt and hangs down when driving. I ordered a replacement from Amazon for $99.99 and will attempt to repair myself.

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.
