| Mar 2024 | 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 contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to shift into reverse. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. In addition, the vehicle jumped forward and there was an abnormal sound coming from the rear axle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times. However only a temporary repair was provided. The failure reoccurred. The dealer was made aware of the failure but confirmed that parts were not yet available. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 18,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available. | Crash: No Fire: No | 18,000 |
| Mar 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the display screen would display black and reboot itself before restarting. In addition, while driving the vehicle the rearview camera image remained on while driving forward. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the APIM (Accessory Protocol Interface Module) needed to be replaced for the third time. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and two cases were opened. The failure mileage was approximately 27,275. | Crash: No Fire: No | 27,275 |
| Mar 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | Component: The optional "Pro Power Onboard" system reports detecting a ground fault on the center infotainment screen when executing the onboard test function on the same screen or when plugging in a standard electrical outlet tester unit. The outlet tester reports the ground and hot wires are reversed when plugged into any outlet on the vehicle. Safety: My safety has not yet been impacted, however as the system states a ground fault was detected, there is a potential short in the vehicle's electrical systems that could cause damage to more critical components. Reproduced: The first dealership the vehicle was taken to refused to inspect the problem. They plugged devices into the outlets on the vehicle that did not have ground pins on their plugs (a phone charger and a vacuum cleaner) and both operated normally. Inspected: I have an active case file open with the manufacturer to attempt to resolve the issue. The case was opened after the first dealership failed to acknowledge the issue with the vehicle. Other: There were no warning lamps or other messages prior to the problem. The first instance of the message occurred while driving with no outlets were in use. The vehicle does not produce any DTC codes at time of writing. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EQUIPMENT | Loud, oscillating static through speakers when starting vehicle. Measured at 106db. Audio controls non-responsive. Shutting off vehicle and opening door eventually caused it to stop. Resumed again when restarting vehicle. Eventually stopped after letting it sit 30 minutes. This is extremely dangerous. Not only is this a level that can lead to hearing damage, but if this happened while driving, it could easily result in an accident. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2024 | BACK OVER PREVENTION,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | After a recurring dashboard alert to tell me that front sensors and rear braking were offline, I took the vehicle for warranty repair. The Ford dealer indicated that the repair would cost $519, because it was a wiring failure and not a failure in a part. According to the service advisor, the failure is a common failure that occurs at a tee where the wiring branches to a sensor just behind the rear bumper. He said that it is not covered by Ford's "bumper to bumper" warranty because it's a wiring failure and not a part failure (although the subject wiring harness does carry a Ford part number). Since my 2022 truck had only about 14,000 miles and had been lightly used (no off-road use), I balked at the notion that it should not be Ford's responsibility to replace the wiring harness. I paid only the diagnosis fee ($155) and took the truck home. On investigation, I found the harness and sensor wire he described to be easily accessible and easily damaged by any sort of road debris. I also found the wiring from the harness to the sensor to be unsupported, leading me to conclude that resonance due to normal road vibrations could have led to metal fatigue in the wire. It's my view that Ford's conclusion that this is normal wear and tear on a truck is ludicrous. I expressed this view in a letter to Ford's Consumer Relationship Center, but the response was simply to back the dealer's determination. They did provide the option to seek a second dealer opinion, but my concern is more about the long-term vulnerability as I am capable of repairing or replacing the harness myself. It's my conclusion that the joint should be shielded from road hazards and the wires to the sensors should be separately supported to reduce stress on the joint in the harness. My belief that this is a matter for NHTSB is based on the fact that the harness failure compromises rear emergency braking. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2024 | POWER TRAIN | As vehicle is downshifting there is sometimes a slight jerking or hard jerking associated when doing so. This happens a lot also when letting up off of the accelerator or slightly riding the accelerator for example is slow moving traffic. This is a significant jerking, not a smooth jerking when switching gears. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2024 | ENGINE | My engine failed do to faulty valves at 42000 miles. A check engine light came on and I took it to nearest ford dealership for repairs. It was originally missed diagnosed with faulty ignition coil on number 5 cylinder back in November 2023. Since then it has been determined to have issue mentioned above. They say they will need to replace entire engine. Not happy with this but what can an owner do. I have seen this has been common in other similar vehicles. Has ford found and fixed the problem or will this again happen with the new engine they put in? | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
