The front transfer case or wheel ends will grind causing vibration and an audible growl when the outside temperature is below 32 degrees and driven first thing in the morning before the internal components have had a chance to come up to normal operating temperature. I suspect the hubs are either not fully engaging or disengaging and thus causing the grinding. This happens regularly in the AM and will last for 30sec to 2 minutes unless you press the 4 wheel high button. This is a saftey concern due to the fact that components are being prematurely worn and at risk of sudden failure resulting in the inability of operation. No error codes or warning lights.

Whenever temperatures are below freezing, the TCCM engages the front IWE system and hubs to warm up for the first 2 miles of driving. However, when the system disengages, the hubs are not fully disengaging from the IWE shaft and a loud grinding noise happens. I have taken my vehicle to the Ford dealer and they gave a contradictory answer by saying that it was a -??issue, -?? but that it was -??operating normally.-?? It is definitely not normal and they know it is a defective system that is damaging the drive system on a brand new vehicle with less than 800 miles on it.

while driving in gears between 8-10 I experienced a loss of power (Possible mis-firing) while at speed between 50-60 miles per hour. This occurs every time the vehicle is driven.

Loud vibration while driving, similar to passing over a rumble strip, believed to originate from IWES operating in colder weather. Fear of damage from grinding parts effecting operation of 4WD system.

- Windsor, CO, USA

Truck will randomly start making rumble strip or like you have knobby tires noise from front end. You can put it in 4 high and back 2wd an it goes away.this has happened at different speed and differs temp.

- Hazard , KY, USA

Loud humming noise coming from the driver side front end. It comes on randomly when temps are below freezing. It is something near the wheel such, likely the IWE as it grows higher pitch at higher speeds and lower at lower at lower speeds. When you hit the button to go from 2H to 4H or switching to 4 wheel drive, the humming goes away. Switching back to 2 wheel drive and it comes back sometimes. I see a lot of posts online with others having the same similar issue. This is on a 2023 xlt f150 with the 2.7 liter ecoboost. I contacted the dealer and they are aware of the issue but have not heard of any solutions from Ford. It does not appear to be a formal recall issue yet, but my guess is that it is something that should be recalled. This noise is fairly loud, I can send a recording of it. It also makes the steering wheel shake a little bit with it happening, fairly minor, but obviously not good. Sounds like they need a redesign on the electronic IWE.

- Woodbury, MN, USA

EIWE (Electronic Integrated Wheel End) failure or malfunction. Ford has multiple Field Service Engineers aware of the issue with no fix found. Multiple vehicles not only at one dealership but across the country have confirmed issues. Ford Customer Relations is aware and has an open case with me and many other owners. As requested for Ford case manager, the vehicle is currently going back for a third time to the dealership for something "they can't currently fix".

- Charlotte, VT, USA

Significant clunking in the transmission, purchased this 2023 brand new. Ford dealer tells me this is normal but it feels like this truck is going to break down at any moment. Disruptive shifting all over this place, very sloppy. I am also getting excessive exhaust smoke from the tailpipe, almost looks like the truck is on fire every morning when I start it up. Smells awful too. Dealer again states all of this is -??normal-??. Not sure what Ford is compensating dealers with but they are going to have a real issue here soon with upset customers if they keep producing trucks like this.

- Red Lion, PA, USA

This is my second F150 that has had severe vibration through the floorboard, steering wheel and gas pedal. The last one the torque converter and steering failed. Both trucks were brand new. This is a serious safety issue. My foot goes numb after about 15 minutes of driving from the constant vibration. Ford acts as this is normal, but this issue has been well documented in the Ford community. There have thousands of similar reports made to Ford Motor Co.

- Allen, TX, USA

At times will go out to start truck after it has been running for a while and will not start. Push start button and will not do anything. I had to wait for a least 2 hours before it would start again. I have read on internet that this has happened to several people. It could be very dangerous at night if this happened in some places. This problem doesn't happen very often but does happen. The truck acts like a dead battery this is the Power Boost model. I was told per dealer let it sit for a while and should start.

- Clayton, NC, USA

1. My 2023 Ford F-150 Powerboost Hybrid is receiving the Stop Safely Now message. The vehicle has failed to start on a few occasions. 2. The vehicle not starting left me in a position where the vehicle was inoperable. This is a safety concern because is would put me or my family in potential danger from the elements, inability to receive health care and potential danger from individuals of I-??ll intent. 3. Yes. 4. Unknown. 5. Unknown. Although I received low voltage messages, I had no idea what that meant. The Ford app simply told me to drive the vehicle to charge the battery. I drive the truck daily.

- Calhoun, KY, USA

My truck is less than 1 month old and less than 1,000 miles. On two separate occasions, when attempting to start the ignition the engine will not start. A "Stop Safely Now" message appears on the dashboard, and the truck will power on the accessories only. Now matter how many attempts to turn on the ignition, the truck will not turn on. This leaves you completely stranded wherever you are. You do not know when this SSN message will occur, and can be a serious safety issue if being left stranded somewhere. There were no messages, codes, or other issues reported from the truck prior to this. The battery was checked and is sufficient. This is a problem with the powerboost hybrid engine in the Ford F150.

-?? power train malfunction / reduced power -?? dealer sees the same problem / issue -?? I did get a "wrench" icon on my dashboard and a power train malfunction notice on my ford pass app

- Emerson , GA, USA

Front differential is bad. First broke it clanked and was banging. Now its a growl/grind under acceleration and deceleration.

- Jonesboro, AR, USA

This is a bran new vehicle. Power train failure indicated on screen. The transmission started jacking off leaving me with no acceleration. The truck was put in the dealership shop and repair. I picked it up about 4 weeks later. Drove it about 20 miles and the same thing happened again twice with in the 20 miles I drove. It-??s back in the dealership shop been there about 3 weeks wanting on different parts then the first time they repaired it with.

- New Barunfels , TX, USA

When coming to a stop, say a stop light or stop sign, after a few seconds at a complete stop, the vehicle lurches violently forward. First time it happened, I thought I was rear ended, but no one was behind me. According tho hundreds of posts on www.f150gen14.com, it seems to be a known issue with the Auxiliary Transmission Oil pump, but dealerships are not acknowledging the issue or claiming it's a non-warranty issue. Regardless of that, the safety concern is the vehicle lurching into traffic, pedestrian, car in front, etc.

- Parker, CO, USA

Brand new truck with less than 500 miles on the odometer and now having issues with the auxiliary transmission pump which is responsible for switching between the hybrid system (engine to battery and vice versa). The issue with this is that is also makes the vehicle lurch forward as if it was rear ended, with the potential to hit something in front as a result. I left the vehicle with the dealer on Tuesday (7/25) and was just told on Thursday (7/27) that it would take a month before the vehicle can see their transmission department and that it would need to stay with them for the entire duration. I am now out of a vehicle I've owned for 2 weeks for the next month, and realistically even more time as once diagnosis occurs then more waiting is needed for parts/repair.

- Duluth, GA, USA

Vehicle malfunctions at start-up. Will not turn on and displays "stop safely now" message. Has also thrown codes for low battery voltage that simply disappear. Vehicle malfunction at start-up does not throw code.

- Midland, MI, USA

While sitting at a traffic light, the gear shift switched to park from drive with my family inside the vehicle. The vehicle would not move and the gear shift continued to switch back to park when I attempted to get out of the roadway, leaving me and my family in a dangerous spot. I have video of the gear shift moving to park.

- Helotes, TX, USA

Entered vehicle and started my truck, and Immediately after a stop safely now along with full accessory power flash continuously. Along with the warnings I was unable to move my shifter as it was stuck on park the whole time. I turned off and restarted the vehicle 8-10 times over the course of 10-15 minutes which in the last try the messages went away and was finally able to put into drive and drive to work. I researched this issue and see a ton of other owners are having similar issues from this model.
