Upon the first drive of a '23 Raptor, within 20 miles of driving the TPMS sensor warning lights up on the dash. This immediately caused a loss of data (no PSI data) on at least 2 tires shown on the truck's dash display. There is a loss of data on the FORD app also that corresponds with the dash display. This will only reset after the truck is off and parked for a reasonable amount of time. This occurs EVERY trip in excess of 20 miles. In the Ford Raptor Forums it appears this issue is persistent anywhere from 17-30 miles into a trip. This issue/error prevents the safe operation if it is unknown whether tire pressure is low, or there is another issue at hand. The truck has been at FORD at least 4 times in order to assess the problem. From "resetting" the system, replacing the ECU, replacing additional electrical components and still having the same issue. The issue has been replicated at the dealer level - hence the numerous attempts at a fix as mentioned above. Apparently a work-around is shielding the Pro-Power - the power chord is causing interference with the truck's electrical system. This problem is persistent with numerous 2023 F-150 Raptors, and it appears to correct itself TEMPORARILY if you turn off the Pro-Power...which of course turns off numerous electrical outlets in the truck. Again, this issue prevents the safe operation of the truck - the sensor is set off during every drive, and although its apparently caused by RF interference, we have no way of knowing if there is an actual anomaly in the TPMS system. Will it read correct if a tire is dangerously low - is unknown whether tire pressure is low, or there is another issue at hand. Is the Pro-power affecting RFI in other electrical/safety components???
The contact owns a 2023 Ford F-150. The contact stated that upon inspection underneath the vehicle, there was a fluid leak coming from the rear passenger’s side axle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed, and the contact was advised that the rear axle and seal were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact referenced Customer Satisfaction Program: 22B34; as a probable cause for the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 48,000.
Received recall 25S82 rear axle half-shaft and hub assembly replacement in August of 2025. Dealer confirmed in September 2025, both right and left components need replaced. I was told parts are on order. I check on the recall parts each month and told various stories. For instance. 1. Only one OEM manufacturer of these recall parts 2. Only large dealerships are getting them. 3. First come first serve, yet reports on social media that some Ford owners are getting repaired in two weeks. 4. Tied to VIN number, not tied to VIN number. Whatever the situation, 6-months and counting with no assurance of parts is unacceptable. I cannot trust to take this truck outside of my local towing company’s business radius.
Regarding EV Battery Failure – 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning”} To Whom It May Concern, NHTSA I am writing to formally file a complaint against Ford Motor Company regarding a serious and ongoing battery issue with my electric vehicle, which remains unresolved despite multiple attempts to obtain warranty service. Vehicle Information: Vehicle: 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning VIN: [XXX] Mileage: Approximately 38000miles Warranty Status: Vehicle is still fully covered under the manufacturer’s warranty Description of the Problem: The vehicle’s battery is not functioning properly. After a full charge, the vehicle only drives approximately 50 miles, after which the battery becomes completely dead. Ford advertises a range of approximately 230 miles per full charge, which my vehicle has never achieved. The battery warning and error messages appear repeatedly on the dashboard, clearly indicating a battery-related issue. Despite this, no effective repair has been performed. Issues with Ford and Authorized Dealers: Ford Motor Company repeatedly refers me to authorized dealers. Each time I visit a dealer, I am charged approximately $140 for inspection, and the dealer claims that the battery is “fine” without providing any real fix. The problem continues exactly the same. Ford refuses to take responsibility and continues to redirect me back to dealers. Many local dealers do not even have qualified technicians capable of replacing or repairing EV batteries. They only perform basic checks, collect money, and return the vehicle without resolving the issue. This repeated back-and-forth between Ford and dealers has caused me financial loss, extreme inconvenience, and mental stress. The vehicle is unreliable and unsafe for regular use. Requested Resolution: I respectfully request the following: 1.Immediate replacement of the defective battery under manufacturer warranty, or 2.Assignment to a qualified EV service facility that can properly diagnose and replace the battery, a INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION AC
