| May 2026 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V455000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated while driving at various speeds and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle was sluggish. The contact stated that the failure occured intermittently. There was no warning light illuminated. The dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 34,824. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Based on publicly available reports and similar complaints, multiple F-150 vehicles with the 10-speed automatic transmission appear to experience similar transmission failures at relatively low mileage under normal driving conditions. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | POWER TRAIN | I've spent hours trying to get Ford to fix the 23S65 hub recall. I get nowhere. Finally got a case number - # XXX-XXX. Recall started 2023 if I'm not mistaking. I've called dealer many times and they say Ford. Ford can find parts for new vehicles but not for my truck. I bought the truck to tow but I'm scared to use it. It seems Ford will never "have" parts. It feels like they want me to crash it or get stranded before fixing it. They have the parts. Just for new trucks or people whose trucks are completely broken. I want to tow but I can't. Dealer is now saying...parts sometime in Q3. That just keeps getting extented.

| May 2026 | POWER TRAIN | Transmission started having issues after fluid change and dealer states that transmission now needs a rebuilt cause the CDF drum has moved or shifted. They also stated they have seen a lot of these 10 speed transmission with the same issues. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | In the second year of ownership I noticed that occasionally I would get no throttle response from the gas pedal when trying to accelerate. After several occurrences I began to pay close attention as to when this was occurring. I found that this occurs mostly, not exclusively, when I am slowing the vehicle to a near stop, not a full stop and then accelerating to continue, like slowing to round a corner on a green light and getting into traffic. For example, I was exiting a Home Depot parking lot, the driveway exits to the roadway. As I approached the driveway to enter the roadway I slowed, preparing to stop. Seeing no traffic on the roadway I then pushed the accelerator to enter the roadway. The pedal was dead, I got absolutely no acceleration. I pushed the pedal down slowly, nothing. I pushed the pedal to the floor, nothing. The truck rolled out onto the road, I coasted to the side of the road. Had there been traffic I'd have been hit. This has happened 20 times in two years and 80K miles. The most recent event was this week with my wife present, very scary, dead pedal, not throttle response. If you research "Dead Pedal" on GOOGLE, you will get the following response: The "dead pedal" in the Ford F-150 PowerBoost—a dangerous lag or total loss of throttle response—is a widely reported issue, particularly when accelerating from low speeds, turning, or right after starting. [1, 2, 3] The cause can range from a software glitch to transmission issues or failing sensors. Ford said there was a TSB, however the work performed had no effect on the dead pedal on my truck. Invoice attached from March 2026, it just occurred again this week. I am going to trade the vehicle in but I doubt that Ford will disclose this flaw to the next buyer, it will be their's to discover, hopefully not by "accident". I am going to trade this vehicle in and I'm sure the new buyer will have no idea of this potentially deadly flaw. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | My 2022 Ford F150 B&O Unleashed Sound System 18SPK explodes from time to time with a deafening noise (pop, then static) that makes you jump. Turning off the radio does not stop the deafening noise. In the past, at times, I was able to stop the deafening noise by switching from satellite to AM radio. This last time, nothing I tried stopped the deafening noise and I could not pull off the road to turn off the truck for 10 minutes. My ears were still hurting the next day. During the 10 minutes I had to wind down the windows which did not help much. The speakers were getting hot to the touch, especially the little tweeter speaker, with a plastic burning smell. Each subsequent time I turned the truck back on (after waiting about a half minute) the deafening noise started again. Then I waited 10-15 minutes before starting the truck and the noise stopped. My truck is available for inspection upon request. My safety and the safety of others are put at risk because you jump when the problem occurs and are distracted when endeavoring to stop the problem. The Ford dealership cannot diagnose the problem unless the deafening noise appears at the time of service. The sound system has not been inspected by the manufacturer. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the start of the deafening noise (pop, then static). | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | The recall is 10 months old and no remedy offered. Every time I get behind tge wheel I'm risking an injury or death of myself or someone else. I can't sell my vehicle because it would put the next owner at risk. Do I have to wait until there's an injury or death to have something done about this? | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,STRUCTURE | The passenger door lock/latch actuator is failing. The passenger door will not open from the outside at all. The door has to be opened from the inside. The power lock button and key fob do not unlock the passenger door. I can hear the lock/actuator trying to operate, but the door does not unlock or release from the outside handle. This issue started shortly after we had a historic/unusual cold freeze in Florida. The vehicle is kept outside, so it was exposed to the freezing temperatures. This creates a safety and security concern because the passenger door cannot be opened from the outside in an emergency, and the power lock system does not work properly. The issue has not yet been inspected by a dealer or independent repair shop. No warning lights or messages appeared before the failure. The component is still installed on the vehicle and available for inspection upon request. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | POWER TRAIN | I was driving my 2022 F150 during the 5/5/2026 Northern Colorado blizzard home to Nebraska with Slippery mode selected on Drive Train Selector and the truck started violently rattling and seized, causing catastrophic drivetrain failure with loss of power and perceptible steering control. I immediately pulled off I80 near my fueling stop destination and turned off the truck. I opened the hood to vent smoke and assess for fire. Once fire was not an issue, I started the ignition sequence to view any warning lights before starting motor. There were no warning lights or sensors indicating loss of fluids or abnormal temperatures noted in oil or transmission. The motor started and then I tried shifting through the transmission. It would engage but not move forward in any of the Drive Train Selector settings. I could travel in reverse and place in neutral, but I could not manually move forward or back when I pushed. I called Ford Roadside Assistance for towing and was flat-bedded to Sterling Korf Ford where catastrophic front end differential and assembly was noted. I had an experience leaving my work parking lot 2/27/2026, and have a malfunction warning on my vehicle phone app. That event was corrected by stopping and rotating through the Drive Train Selector switch out of 4x4 to 2H. I had 100K mile full service at Greeley, CO, Ford in July 2025 with all fluids flushed and filled and multipoint inspection. I feel this is a mechanical design flaw in the Integrated Wheel End (IWE). And with no dashboard warning to hint at impending catastrophic failure, this warrants immediate recall notice. I was fortunate not to be in heavy traffic when catastrophic failure happened, otherwise an accident would have occurred. I am a [XXX] career Emergency Physician and have enough experience to know when there is a system failure and a near miss. This is not an isolated human event leading to a sentinel event, but a system failure that must be fixed before lives are lost.

| May 2026 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at 76–77 MPH, the vehicle's speed independently increased. The contact stated that the failure occurred while the cruise control was set at 76–77 MPH, however the vehicle's speed increased to 100 MPH. The brake pedal was depressed, however the vehicle failed to stop. The contact pressed an unknown button on the steering wheel and the vehicle eventually stopped. The contact stated that when the vehicle stopped, the engine loudly. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact turned the vehicle off because the vehicle idled unusally loud. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with dirty unknown sensors. The failure was not duplicated. The contact was informed that the sensors needed to be cleaned. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,613. | Crash: No Fire: No | 50,613 |
| May 2026 | POWER TRAIN | I purchased my truck brand new in July 2022 from Auto Saver Ford in New York. Roughly between 5000 and 10,000 miles at a certain speed the 10 R 80 transmission in my truck would unexpectedly violently slam into a lower gear, causing my truck immediately go to a slower speed, and that I was not ready for. I brought it back multiple times to the dealership under warranty. They told me they fixed the problem however, I continue to have the same issues. Ford is telling me now they will not fix it even though I do have confirmation from a Ford dealer that the Park Paul in the Transmission is damaged and can cause the vehicle to slam into park even if I’m doing 70 miles an hour on the highway. There was an initial recall done however the my truck was made at the Kentucky truck plant where the issue was initiated. However, Ford claims there were specific dates they noted. They had issues building these transmissions and my truck missed the deadline by one month even though I’m having the same exact problems. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V455000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced an engine stall. The approximate failure mileage was 25,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 25,000 |
| Apr 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | 25SB6/25V731 - Safety Recall I have been attempting to remedy this safety recall involving rear tail and reverse lights on my 2022 Ford Lightling Lariat without success. Reverse lights and tail lights stopped working after flickering and moisture was detected in lens. I have called Ford opened up a case and visited local Ford dealership for assistance. Neither Ford or local dealer seems to know when "Part Kit" will be available. The Ford website and NHTSA report claim "Q1-2026" availability. This is a dangerous situation with reverse lights not working and as a result the vehicle will not pass a NYS inspection. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2026 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING,LANE DEPARTURE | Tail light on the drivers side was hyper flashing and upon inspection found that it is not working. When I removed the tail light to replace the bulb I noticed that the whole tail light assembly was full of water. The bulb is inside a housing that is inaccessible, so bulb cannot be replaced without replacing the whole tail light assembly. Leaking tail light assembly causing failure of turn signals or brake lights is a serious safety hazard and can cause an accident. Additional safety risk if BLIS system fails and driver is not aware that it isn’t working. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2026 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | See attached document for complaint. I have received several notices concerning this recall, dating back a little over a year. I have called the customer service department several times in the past year. To date, no "fix" is available on a defect that can cause a loss of fuel pressure and flow resulting in a possible engine stall while driving. "An engine stall while driving increases the risk of a crash" unquote from the recall notice. HOW IS A "FIX" NOT AVAILABLE AFTER OVER A YEAR OF NOTICE OF DEFECT! Between my husband and myself, we have bought dozens (no exaggeration) of Ford vehicles (mostly new), but we are seriously doubting our purchase of my 2022 F-150 after this recall. I am continuously driving my [XXX] mother (who walks with a walker) to doctor appointments and errands in my truck. How would I safely assist my [XXX] mother, with a walker, off the middle of a highway if my truck stalls out??? We also tow a trailer with my truck at times. How would we safely pull off a highway with a loaded trailer??? I also had called the Customer Relations Center (1-800-392-3673) on February 23, 2026 and was told the Engineering Department has not determined a repair as of that date. My dealer, Sarchione Ford of Randolph, again checked on the recall "fix" while my truck was in for an oil change on March 6, 2026. No "fix" date was available. Fords' inability to "fix" a serious defect as this, is very troublesome and totally unacceptable. Please contact me concerning this potentially life-threatening, possible accident-causing defect.

| Apr 2026 | POWER TRAIN | My vehicle was subject to Recall FSA 23S65, which addresses a defect involving the rear axle hub bolt. I brought the vehicle to a Ford-authorized dealership for the recall repair; however, the repair was not properly completed. The rear axle hub bolt subsequently failed, confirming that the recall defect was not adequately remedied. After the bolt failure, I returned the vehicle to the dealership, where technicians stated that the differential is now damaged. They claim that an axle bearing failed independently and dispersed metal contaminants throughout the differential, characterizing this as a coincidence unrelated to the recall issue. However, upon further review by a mechanic, it appears far more likely that the axle bolt failure directly caused or contributed to the bearing failure and resulting differential damage. The vehicle now produces a humming noise while driving, and I have been strongly advised that it is unsafe to operate. Despite multiple attempts to resolve this matter with both the dealership and Ford Motor Company, I have been unable to obtain a satisfactory response or corrective action. This situation raises serious concerns regarding the adequacy of the recall repair and the resulting safety risk. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2026 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | Issue 1: During snow conditions, the windshield wiper arms have detached from the linkage pivot on two separate occasions while in operation. This creates an immediate loss of visibility and a significant safety hazard while driving. In both instances, the detached wiper arm had to be retrieved and manually reinstalled. On one occasion, the arm could not be reinstalled in the field, leaving the vehicle without functional wipers. The component should be available for inspection upon request. The first occurrence happened on Jan 3, 2025. The most recent was Feb 2026. Issue 2: The windshield wipers are currently inoperable. When activated, the wipers move slightly upward (approximately 4–6 inches from the bottom of the windshield), then stall and begin to stutter/twitch repeatedly before stopping completely. There is no visible external damage to the linkage. This condition renders the wipers ineffective and unusable. The issue has occurred during active snowfall, making the vehicle unsafe to operate due to loss of visibility. No prior warning lights or messages were observed before the failure. The issue began suddenly, and was not a slow failure. It also occurred the day after a software update, which I noted because of the changed radio and alarm settings in the vehicle. I believe this was April 14th or 15th. By proximity of the app update, this raises the concern of the issue being related to the app. Based on research, there are multiple current and prior recalls involving similar Ford truck wiper system failures related to linkage lubrication, motor sealing, and sensor faults. The described failures appear to be functionally related and represent a significant safety concern. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2026 | POWER TRAIN | Hard shifts from 10R80 Transmission in 2022 f150, I’ve had a lot of hard shifts especially in lower gears, clunking sounds and skipping gears every so often, the 10R80 transmission should be recalled in all fords and have the updated parts in them, it is unacceptable to have these kind of trucks transmission failing at 70,000 miles. There is tons of people complaining about this. Thank you | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2026 | POWER TRAIN | The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V896000 (Power Train); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2026 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Manufacturer Recall Number: 25S75 NHTSA Recall Number: 25V455 This recall has been open since July 8th, 2025 with no updates from Ford or the NHTSA. I am concerned because there is an increased risk of crash at failure, and the bulletin says that the risk is greater in high temperatures. I drive primarily in Texas and the Southwest United States. I have contacted my dealership every few months and they said they have no further information or ways to rectify the situation. I spoke to an NHTSA representative who said that I needed to file a report on this site to initiate an investigation since this recall has been open for so long. Reference #: XXX. It seems that Ford should have been able to access fuel pumps for replacement within the last 9 months. I just don't want to wait until it is too late to address. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Apr 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,SERVICE BRAKES | Submitted the vehicle for recall repairs under recalls 25v315, 25v455, 25v104 and 25v517. Maintenance was scheduled to last less than a day. When I returned for the vehicle, I was informed the update had caused several module components to "brick." They informed me they had to receive authority from form to order new components and attempts another repair. I called March 17 for an update and was told the new components bricked again and that the issue was elevated to Ford engineering. Called Ford customer service and was given a case number [XXX]. Call Ford customer service March 30 and was told there is no update, fix or estimate of when a repair might be available.
