"Park Brake Fault Service Now" popped up on the dash when I opened the door. There is an upcoming recall on this according to: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a44690504/ford-f-150-parking-brake-recall/
Left side axle bolt sheard off while under normal driving conditions.
Component: Stereo + Speakers I was put at risk because of the extremely loud sound coming from the speakers that I could not control. I was unable to hear traffic around me or concentrate on driving. It startled me so much I almost swerved into traffic. It was inspected by the manufacturer and they performed a reprogramming of the (audio controller?). There were no other warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to the problem. It first appeared after owning the vehicle for 6 months. Details of incidents: I have had this happen 6 times: Turn on vehicle. Explosive POP comes from the speakers followed by no sound. Volume controls are unresponsive. No audio plays. After 15-20 seconds, the audio returns and volume controls are responsive again. I have had this happen 2 times: Turn on vehicle. Explosive POP comes from the speakers followed by continual max volume static. Volume controls are unresponsive. Restarting the vehicle does not fix the problem. Static continues for up to 40 minutes. Once vehicle was turned off for more than a few minutes, the problem stopped and audio returned to normal.
The following occurred in a 2022 Ford F150 Raptor with less than 500 miles. As soon as I put the car in drive and turned out of the parking lot, there was a huge boom that sounded like an explosion. I assumed that something had burst or all of my glass was shattered and the sound of loud crackling noises could be heard coming from the speakers. After the explosion-like sound, I was unable to hear for some time and I nearly went deaf. Regardless of whether I turned the audio on or off, the loud crackling noise would not go away. without delay The service manager afterwards contacted me and told me that the sound system needed to be reconfigured after I drove to the dealer to demonstrate the problem.
The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and turning, there was an abnormal sound coming from the front end.

The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.
While driving down interstate Friday, July 28, at approximately 6:15PM in North Augusta, SC, I heard a loud noise and could not identify what had happened. It was raining so I did not notice that the fixed portion of the panoramic sunroof over the back seat was shattered. I did not think to even look back there closely. The next morning I got into vehicle to find glass in back seat and water all over floor and seat in back. The whole panel had shattered.
Started vehicle and a horrific static popping sound started coming thru the speakers. It lasted about 10 seconds and I immediately turned vehicle off as I thought it was going to explode or burn. I restarted it again and it made the same sound again for about 5 seconds and it then stopped. 3rd time I started the truck it did not make the noise. When making the noise I couldn’t adjust the volume on radio or make a phone call

See attached document for complaint
While merging onto a freeway from the on-ramp into traffic, the transmission has trouble shifting and getting up to speed i’ve only owned it a month now and haven’t had it serviced yet, but it most definitely is a problem.
Several times the infotainment system specifically the camera system fails to operate. When backing up the camera system is unavailable, the screen just shows the Ford emblem. This condition has happened several times and takes 3-4 minutes to correct or the vehicle must be shut off and restarted to get the system to work. Backing a vehicle of this size without the camera is somewhat difficult. I mentioned it to the dealer, they said Ford is aware of the issue but can't tell me when or if it is going to be corrected. I also took the truck in for an update and told them of an incident that occurred when I got into the truck after it had been sitting for 4-5 hours. When I started the truck an incredibly loud alarm coming from the sound system went off. I sounded like all of the speakers blew but after they checked they hadn't. It's only done that once and the dealer told me my incident was the only one they've heard of. I have not had an accident due to this issue. There have not been any warning lights.
The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 10 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the electronic parking brake engaged independently, and the vehicle stopped abruptly. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact's husband depressed the brake pedal, shifted into park (P), shifted back into drive (D), and continued driving. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V509000 (Parking Brake) because VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist because the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000. The VIN was unavailable.
Upon entering the Ford f150 vehicle and turning it on there was loud sonic boom noise through the speakers and then ear piercing static. It could not be turned down by the radio controls. Radio was turned off but static still wouldn’t stop. Vehicle was turned off and static still was still going. I waited 15 minutes with the vehicle off and it finally quit. Truck started no problem and static gone. I have read of numerous reports about this same thing with the B&O Unleashed radio system which I have. I have suffered some hearing loss and ringing in my ears even after 2 days. If this had happened on the highway or in traffic it would probably have caused a wreck.
I have had two instances where a loud pop occurs when playing the stereo, and then an even louder static noise begins. The static noise does not stop. The first time, I took the truck to the dealership and they had to disconnect the battery. Approximately 3 months later, the same issue occurred, but now it was accompanied by a burning smell. After the first incident, the dealer repaired (not replaced) the module. But, again, the static noise returned two months later. I now have constant ringing in both ears, which may indicate permanent hearing loss.
When adaptive cruise control is set, the vehicle thinks there is a crash ahead and applies the brakes when in reality nothing is in front of the vehicle . This causes a very dangerous situation for vehicles behind the truck when it applies emergency braking.
My radio/stereo/speakers introduced an extremely loud "pop" noise, or "banging" noise. It was reminiscent to my time overseas in the military and gunfire. It was extremely startling and hurtful to all three passengers in my vehicle, including myself, my spouse, and my 2-year-old child. This is a recurring issue as of now, and many others are complaining about the same issue happening to them.
while driving, with the audio system off, suddenly I heard a loud explosion. next I heard what sounded like class breaking. I thought i was involved in an accident and slammed on my brakes. Realizing I was ok, the next thought that came to mind was that someone shot at me. The crackling sounds ( like glass breaking did not stop). i drive directly to a ford dealership. they heard and acknowledged the cracking sound. i turned off the truck and the sound CONTINUED.
I brought this vehicle into 2 different Ford dealers to have the Recall 22C22 (wiper motor) taken care of. Both dealers said my wiper motors were not part of the affected recall parts. My wipers had stopped working one time and this was reported to both the dealers and Ford. The dealers will not fix it without Ford's permission. Ford is telling me I must take it back to a dealer to see if they will fix it. Here is the quote from Ford, "Since the vehicle is still having issues with the wiper motors not working, the dealership must assist. They need to inspect again and if they are refusing service you will need to find another dealer. I have been in touch with [XXX] , and he stated same thing you first thing you told me that it had passed inspection. If they state that current malfunction is not related to the recall, then we can still review to see how we can help. The vehicle needs to be inspected again and if they refuse, go to another dealer and we can review again." INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
I was driving down the highway and a loud pop followed by a very high pitched static noise came out of my speakers. I had to unhook a battery terminal to get it to stop. This is the 3rd time this has happened and the dealership won’t do anything as it’s extremely difficult to replicate.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed and released. The contact then depressed the brake pedal; however, the brakes failed to stop the vehicle immediately, and the transmission failed to shift into neutral (N). The vehicle coasted to the side of the roadway and was able to come to a complete stop. The dealer was made aware of the failure but confirmed that they would not be able to duplicate the failure without a check engine warning light illuminated. The dealer advised the contact to drive the vehicle until the check engine warning light illuminates to diagnose the vehicle. The contact stated that the following week, the failure recurred while making a left turn into the gas station.

The vehicle was not deemed totaled by the insurance company. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that he was driving with both feet depressing the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time, which the contact stated was incorrect. The failure mileage was approximately 22,000.
I bought the truck and two months later as I was driving the vehicle the rear defrental went out and caused the wheels to improperly balance the speed of all tires as I turned and cause my truck to turn roughly and I almost got in a wreck. I brought it to ford and they seen it needed to be replaced. Mind you its only been a few months. About a year later it has issues again as im driving and I also noticed it was leaking def oil really bad. I brought it in and they said they fixed it. About 7 months later I had issues with it again and they had to repair again. Its very concerning and is a big issue and safety concern.
Following automatic install of Ford Power-Up 4.2.4 on 6/9/23 center 12” infotainment display has been experiencing freeze ups, audio glitches, and video delays. This occurs most often when the rear back up camera is active. At times the rear backup camera video freezes or blanks out entirely. I have not yet contacted the automaker because they’ve not released any sort of update or comments dealing with the issue. The malfunction could pose a risk of collision as the rear camera becomes briefly unusable even while in motion.
There is a bolt on the rear axle shaft that hold on the hub. The one on my right rear axle sheared off. I have discovered by online research that this has been an issue with the HD Towing a le on this model truck.

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 contact owned a 2022 Ford F-150.

The SYNC4 system has been glitching lately everytime I engage reverse or click the button to display the cameras. Typically the glitch is minimal and nothing to be concerned about as the system resumes operation after 2 - 3 seconds. However the other day my family and I were traveling home towing our travel trailer and the SYNC4 system decided to reboot itself mid-drive at highway speeds (No buttons were pressed at this time). Upon resuming normal operation the truck felt as if it was working harder to stop us and the trailer. This is when I noticed that the SYNC4 reboot had caused the trailer brake controller to forget my camper profile and revert to default. This left the trailer applying less braking power than if my camper profile were properly engaged. I was able to recall the camper profile and complete the trip so no injuries to report but this could leave drivers unaware of the change. The truck stayed in its tow/haul mode but there were not visual indicators to alert the driver the trailer brake settings had reverted back to default. I reached out to Ford customer service and they have stated they have not heard this issue to date. I have not taken the truck to the dealer yet but I plan on having them inspect the system. I still face the glitching when pressing the camera button but have not re-produced the trailer brake reset as of now. I am also unsure if the two behaviors are related but they are both controlled by the SYNC system.
The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the computer needed to be programmed. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. While driving approximately 50 MPH with the cruise control activated, the vehicle unintendedly accelerated to approximately 70 MPH. The brakes failed to respond while depressing the brake pedal. The failure was self-corrected. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer who documented the failure but was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was contacted, and the contact was referred to another dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 10,600.
I recently took a trip home to Pennsylvania (I live in Alabama) to visit family. A few days into my trip I noticed a rattle sound coming from my rear passenger side wheel. It was only noticeable at low speeds but it sounded like the wheel hub may have been lose or perhaps a stone had made it inside the center hub. I take immaculate care of my vehicle and it is still under the manufacturer new vehicle warranty. Upon further inspection, I removed the wheel hub and noticed that the axle spline bolt had sheered off with the washer and was actually rolling around like a wash machine inside the hub. At high speeds the centrifugal force was enough to keep the bolt against the outer wall of the wheel hub. When slowing down the force was no longer great enough and the bolt would fall down and then tumble around as the speed went down. I was supposed to leave for home at 3am, but now due to this issue, the vehicle is not safe to drive. Ford has not offered a solution other than to let the local dealer look at it (700 miles from home). They have verbally told me they will reimburse a rental car and get my truck shipped home to me after the repair, but none of this has been made in writing. This is a known issue for Ford. There are hundreds of documented cases online and my local selling dealer in Alabama knew of the issue when I called to report it. They have had 4 cases recently of the same issue. Ford MUST issue a recall IMMEDIATELY! This is a major safety issue and could cause the axle to "fall out" of the wheel hub at speed and could cause a major accident and almost certain death if this were to occur at high speeds.
Loud popping from the speakers and static noise. Sounded like a explosion inside the cab
Extremely loud popping and screeching sound coming from speaker. So loud it made me pull over and exit truck. This is the third time this has occurred.
Brakes completely failed without warning or any indication that something was wrong. Lost brakes completely, and dash lit up saying ABS Fault, service advanced traction, hill start assist unavailable, pre Collison assist not available. Luckily i was able to slow down by downshifting in M and throwing it into park before it even came to a stop. Had it towed to dealer and repaired. Dealer failed to give me documentation of what was replaced and/or repaired. Luckily I just exited the highway. I could have been seriously hurt or killed. As well as someone else could obviously had been killed or hurt. I live in Colorado and 75% of my driving is down steep mountain grades. This could have ended catastrophically.
On 2 seperate occasions the audio system has malfunctioned. The truck has the B and O "Unleashed" sound system. The first time was December 2022. I started the vehicle and the sound system blasted at full volume and scared the heck out of me. The system would not respond in any way, blank display on the dash. The second time was May 2023. I started the truck and there was a loud "explosion" sound and the display was again totally blank and not responding. Drove to the dealership and was told they had no idea what was wrong. Very dangerous situation that is not safe. Truck has had 2 recalls and only has less than 2000 miles. Purchased new at Harold Ford 6/29/22. Assembled at Dearborn Truck. Currently waiting on axle parts at dealership. LEMON would be being kind.
Loud pop and then extremely loud static coming through all speakers, pulled over turned truck off and noise continued. Unable to drive because noise was so loud. Started truck again and turned off multiple times, turned radio on and off multiple times and noise continued. With truck off doors closed and locked noise continued. After about 15 min it stopped and worked normal. I called dealer and they said they don’t have a fix and if it is currently working normal there’s nothing they can do.
Noticed when the vehicle was already in motion and accelerating to get up to the street speed the truck all of a sudden starts shaking in the back. The shaking was not only in the back but in the front also. I called Ford and they stated there was nothing wrong with it. If that’s the case the explain why the back end and front end of the truck started shaking.
Extremely loud pop/bang from the speakers out of the blue. Very startling as I thought I had hit something or had something catastrophically fail. Fortunately was on an empty street because the sound was so bad I slammed on the brakes.

On 05-07-2023. I started my vehicle and suddenly through the radio speakers there was an extremely loud and painful Pop and static noise through my radio speakers at full volume. I was not able to turn it down or off by turning the radio controls, It was so loud it scared me and my family. Forced us to get off the highway and I turned the truck on and off several times which did nothing, the unbearable noise continued with the vehicle off. I rolled down all the windows and drove 5 miles home whete it continued to make the noisefor about a half hour before finally shutting off. After a while i restarted the truck and the noise has not come back. This is the second time this has happened, but this was the most sever. My pregnant daughter was 2 weeks from delivery and if a newborn would have been in the car it could have easily permantely damanged an infants hearing. My family's ears rang for a day with headaches. My truck has the B & O unleashed sound system. I have read where others have experienced this same issue and Ford has not acknowledged a problem. I called my local Ford dealer and they were not aware of the issue and gave me no guidance. I do not know if this a radio or electrical issue - but something was very very wrong. I believe that my safety and the safety of any children especially young children would be at sever risk. Very paintful experience.

Issue #1. Forward collision sensors not working warnings keep appearing and flashing on dash. Vehicle has 12000 miles. 2. Hood popped open at speed of 90 MPH without a warning or manual operation of lever. Hood was not opened during a 500 Mile trip so operator error is ruled out. The safety latch was able to secured the hood temporarily. It was communicated to Ford Motor Co Under Incident # CAS#42214521. Phone number : 1-866 637 3788 X 79752
Upon starting the vehicle there was an extremely loud electrical static/popping sound coming from all speakers. Sound was extremely loud, in the hearing damage range - estimate over 100db. After a few seconds the sound stopped. I have seen reports online that this is happening to multiple customers driving late model Ford F150 with the B&O speaker system. If this had happened while driving it would be extremely startling and could lead to accidents. The sound is so loud it could cause hearing damage.
On multiple occassions the speaker system has had a deafening blast of static noise that actually made my ears hurt. luckily my daughter wasn't in the car on either occassion but the sound was so loud that I actually had ringing in my ears after I figured out how to make it stop. I told ford about it but they said there's no fix and they don't know when one will be coming out. I have dash cam video of both incidents that I uploaded to youtube: first incident https://youtu.be/rtBawsLdca0 2nd incident - short pops of static at :25 and 1:15 in the video https://youtu.be/rWSP5E-XXCM
I need to address a safety concern! On 3/13, I was driving back home. my 3 year old daughter was sitting in her car seat (behind the driver seat). She pulled the seatbelt from the middle seat and wrapped it around her neck choking herself. I had just got home and thank god I did because this would have been a totally different story. I pulled up to my mailbox to get my mail. I happen to look back and saw she was purple on the verge of blue. I had no scissors in my car to cut the belt. I drove up my long driveway ran into the house came out with scissors and cut the belt as it was locked and there is no emergency unlock button. Her neck was very red and has broken blood vessels. I have pictures to prove this! No where on the belts does it say “choking hazard” I thought seatbelts were supposed to SAVE LIVES! My seatbelt can be replaced however, my daughter life cannot! Thankfully, is ok!! I called a ford dealer to get the belt fixed. Was told it was $1,000!!!!!
The manufacturer has failed to remedy this safety recall for my F-150 vehicle in a timely manner. Ford initially identified the axle bolt fault as Customer Satisfaction Program 22B34 on Feb. 14, 2023 to a limited range of vehicles but then expanded the action as a recall notification 23S65 on Dec. 22, 2023 covering all 2021-2023 trucks with their "Trailer Tow Max Duty package". Based on these dates, Ford has had over 2 years to engineer a solution to this safety recall but has not done so.
