2022 Ford F-350 Brakes Problems

Integrated trailer brake controller failing. Surging and randomly releasing trailer brakes. I tow a 16k lb. Trailer.

Trailer brakes going on sporadically. Known problem…right turn lamp fault as well. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Brake controller error. Towing a small 6500lb trailer the ford is only intermittently sending signal to the camper brakes. Error "trailer brake fault". Makes stopping at times take a longer distance. Is a potential safety concern and definitely causes wear on the ford itself. Unfortunately my Ford wasn't covered by a previous recall for this known issue even though it was made in August of 2021.

When connected to 5th Wheel trailer, trailer brakes strength is very weak. Even when increasing the trailer braking gain up to 10 still not completely stopping trailer.

I see there is a software recall update on trailer brake controller but not sure if that is the issue. The manual squeeze brakes did not work first time 5th wheel hooked up. The 7 pin trailer clip goes into a 5 pin harness and a 2 pin harness. The 2 pin is the brake control for the trailer. I traced the wiring to the next connector.. When the wiring was unplugged and replugged in the connection and braking system worked. It is located on driver side next to spare tire. The error was happening on both the truck bed 7 pin connector and hitch connector. So issue had to be in line. The manual squeeze trigger had power because unconnected error shows on dash when squeezed and not prior to that. This puts the issue between trigger and connector split the two 7 pin trailer tow connectors. Also since the trailer is grounded to truck via the hitch it means the positive wire in that connector is the issue.
