My F-150 has been a nightmare since I purchased it in April. Ford dealers are unwilling to even look into my complaints. It has now got to the point where I cant drive the vehicle on the interstate because it is too unstable at those speeds. As in the steering wheel moves one way and the truck steers another. The truck is on its 3rd set of tires with only 30k miles on the odometer, but Ford always comes up with some excuse to blame it on me. That is not the case though, I've had 3 4X4 F-150s prior to this one, so I know what to expect from and how to drive a truck.

In cold temperatures the vacuum system that keeps 4x4 disengaged seems to be failing. There is a loud grinding noise with vibrations when driving any speed. It will go away after you engage 4 wheel drive. I feel this is unsafe and worry with winter coming soon the hubs may lock up causing a head on collision or cause vehicle to go in the ditch. I-??ve had this issue since I first bought the pickup brand new in late October of 2023. In above freezing temperatures the grinding and vibration does not happen. No light warning indications when this will happen either. I have called the dealer and made a case number, they say engineering is looking into it. They tried replacing the IWEs and it didn-??t make a difference. I-??ve done a lot of research online and many people all over in colder climates are experiencing the same thing.

I recently took my truck to the dealer because I have been experiencing a clicking and rattling noise that I believe is coming from the drivetrain. The service adviser stated to me, "According to Ford, this is a normal condition and there is nothing to be fixed." The same problem/condition that I am experiencing is described in NHSTA Campaign ID 23V896000 which appears to be Ford Recall # 23S65. What should I do ?

About two blocks after leaving my house I made a right turn from a stop sign into a heavily traveled street. I completed the turn and while the truck was upshifting it got stick in a lower gear around 20 MPH in traffic and would not upshift causing the engine to rev around 5,500 RPM's. After a few taps on the accelerator pedal it finally shifted and I was able to resume to normal speed. The above situation could have resulted in an accident.

Harsh downshifts in 10R80 transmission. Unpredictable shifting. Significant clunking while driving. Vehicle less than 1 year old and I bought it brand new. Issue has been happening since I bought it. Ford dealer ran TSB 24-2070 software update on it yesterday. This transmission is dangerous in my opinion and Ford should be held accountable. No warning signs, nothing at all. Dealer claimed there were no DTC-??s stored. Ford should be replacing this transmission and fixing the problem.

Transmission jerking, harsh shifting, clunking, lunging, and hesitating. I have taken this truck to Hagerstown Ford for repair. They advised they were able to duplicate the problem and found the transmission was 1.5 quarts low on fluid. I have driven the truck a few hundred miles since and the issues are still there. I also understand Ford is having issues with the 10R80 transmission and there have been recalls but mine is not applicable. I have also had two occasions with the park brake not fully releasing and getting a service park fault now appearing on the dash. They said there were no codes, and everything is, ok?

On numerous occasions all of the vehicles electronics, including screens, would shut off. Sometimes this happens while driving at highway speeds causing the vehicle to lose all power. When approaching the car to unlock there is often no power to access the vehicle, which requires manually unlocking the vehicle with the key, opening the hood, then touching metal to the battery terminal to reset the electronics. The vehicle has lost power in the middle of intersections, on the highway, and in parking lots. There are times when the car signals a fault with several of the ADAS features. When this happens it-??s usually probable that once the vehicle is shut off, I won-??t be able to get it started again without touching metal to the battery terminal. I have started to document the failures through video to show to the technicians just in case the OBD doesn-??t match what I describe. The date I-??m including is the most recent occurrence but does not reflect the many occurrences since purchasing the vehicle last spring.

Burring noise coming from front end - seems 4 wheel drive partially engages approximately 2-5 miles down the road after a cold start. Hitting the 4x4 button and transitioning to 4x4 alleviates the noise. Seems to happen during cold weather. Reading online, it looks to be an issue affecting the IEW for the 4x4.

- Arvada, CO, USA

IWE four wheel drive system is engaging while driving the vehicle. Rough shaking in the front end of vehicle and grinding noise while driving. Ford has acknowledged there is a defect but the truck is operating normally and they are trying to fix the issue. Initially I was told it was unsafe to drive, but now that they do not know how to fix the issues they told me to just drive it until it completely breaks down. This is very unsafe. The vehicle is a 2023 F150 with 6,000 miles

When it-??s below freezing, I am experiencing a loud humming/rumbling noise while driving. It last for a mile or two then stop. I haven't drove the vehicle much in fear or damaging anything. There are 2 other vehicle in my area experiencing?the same issue & they have the same vehicle. I've been to dealer, they werent able to duplicate the issue but informed me a sales advisor there with the same truck is also having this issue but havent found a fix as it continues to happen. There are many compliants and videos online regarding this issue. Ford need to open an inverstigation into this issue and provide a recall/remedy.

The vehicle would resume normal operation after switching back and forth from 2WD to 4WD. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it remained for a month. The dealer later informed the contact that the defect was related to the IWE (Integrated Wheel End) that had failed to operate as needed. The contact was informed that there was no repair for the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 4,500.

- Waterford, MI, USA

There was a grinding noise coming from the front end. I took it to the shop and they told me it was the IWE, so they replaced it. 3 days later the same noise returned. They again told me the same part needed to be replaced and that it must have been a faulty part. Waited for 6 weeks to get the new part in then another 2 to get an appointment. They replaced it and then called me and said that it was still making the noise so that wasn't the issue. 4 wheel drive has never worked on the vehicle. Searching forums shows that many people have had the same issue.
