The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was contacted and confirmed that parts were not yet available for the recall repairs. The dealer attempted to complete the software update of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V315000 (Back Over Prevention); however, the update failed and caused the engine failure. The dealer and manufacturer had not been able to correct the issue. The vehicle remained with the dealer for one week. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue by the dealer; however, the contact was unable to speak with a representative. The failure mileage was 17,269.

The main dashboard screen either works delayed after starting, and also unknowingly screen freezes. Have ALMOST backed up into another vehicle not knowing screen was frozen, have been into shop 4 times for repair and NOT ONCE has been repaired.

While coasting to an upcoming stop downhill, on slightly graded slope, speed within 15mph or less, with brake slightly applied; the Automatic Parking Brake engaged on its own, subsequently resulting in the transmission shifting of drive modes to park automatically. The vehicle came to an instant, unexpected stop, while still maintaining a speed around 5mph on its own. The vehicle locked up mid-line-of-traffic, leaving the potential of a rear-end collision by following vehicle. No known damage to transmission or powertrain resulted. Adverse weather/road conditions did not play a factor at the time of incident. Incident has occurred multiple times prior, during similar environment & circumstance.

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.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while reversing the vehicle, the back-up camera malfunctioned, causing the screen image to become frozen and still, creating a visibility hazard for the driver. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.

Emergency brake activated while driving causing tires to lock and skid forward

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.

On Dec 27, 2022 I was involved in a collision where my F150 would not come to a complete stop at an intersection /red light. I approached the vehicles at the light breaking to slow down but the truck drive gear did not disengage, and I struck the vehicle in front of me at about 2-3mph and then proceeded to push the vehicle into the car in front of them all while I was fully applying the break (foot of the gas pedal). It was not until I put the truck in neutral and turned it off that it stopped pushing the other vehicles. I did not receive any warnings or notification lights on my truck prior or during the impact/pushing. It as if the F150 didn't see the vehicle in front of it and the auto drive system engaged as if it had a mind of its own. I have spoken to Ford Corp regarding the issue and they have advised me to have the vehicle inspected but my local Ford dealers are refusing to run a diagnosis on the vehicle prior to having it repaired thus causing an impasse all while I'm very nervous driving this truck out of fear of it happening again. 01/09/2023-Manufacturer Safety recall issued NHTSA #22V842 Recall #22S71 WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR REPLACEMENT Status: Remedy Available

Multiple warning lights came on while going 55MPH down a straight road. Warning lights consisted of Antilock break system fault, Pre-collision assist not available, and Hill start assist warning. I did not have and breaks at all.

APIM (SYNC4) went out and does not work. The APIM controls most functions in the truck. I do not have a working display screen, cannot charge phone, cannot use any of the features I paid to use, no back up camera, and no radio. The trucks user/owners manual is also apart of the APIM (SYNC4) system. Nothing connected with the APIM works. I have waited over 1 month for replacement APIM and Ford has still not sent a replacement. I believe this is happening with new Ford Broncos using the same APIM (SYNC4). There are tons of Ford owner forums complaining about this same issue. I believe Ford and Ford Service is hiding this problem. My Ford Service records shows "Services Performed" as "Unknown."
