2022 FORD F-150 HYBRID Unknown Or Other Problems

Day time running lamps on the side of the headlight have burnt out. First time it was the passenger side that died, had it replaced under warranty. then a few month later after my warranty was up, the driver side has now died as well. The fact I have had this truck 2 and a half year and both have failed is unacceptable. I see every single F150 on the road with THE EXACT SAME ISSUE! This isn't a fluke or bad luck on my vehicle. From my research online, tons of others are complaining about it too. The dealership wanted $2400.00 to replace it, with what is likely another faulty light that would have the same issue in a few years. This is a hazard to myself and others because my vehicle isn't lit up like it should be so that I am visible to others on the road. Also I have had 4 or 5 water leaks in the brief time of owning this truck that ford has blamed on me. Water gets in and collects on the passenger side floorboard under the carpet. I have been without my vehicle multiple times while they attempted to get a specialist to find the issue. Had to pay for my own rental vehicle for a week because they " dont give out loaners" even when you are under warranty.

NHTSA states to file a complaint if there has been no remedy in reference to a safety recall in a timely manner. As of to date there is still an open recall on my truck and Ford has stated the recall is incomplete due to no remedy yet available. This recall has been in place since 12/22/23. My truck did have a broken hub bolt and I believe the dealership replaced the passenger rear axle hub. The dealership told me that this is only a temporary repair until Ford comes up with a remedy.

There is a problem with the heating controls. The temperature will be set at 72 and is stable for awhile, even days, then will spontaneously heat until it's unbearably hot. This is a huge distraction while driving to having to keep messing with the controls. Safety issue! After numerous complaints to Ford's service department with no results as the technicians cannot duplicate issue and there are no codes. Purchased a thermal imaging camera: 97.8 dash vents, 55.1 at knees and 80 degrees at feet (driver's side). This is not a situation where the heating system is just trying to bring the cab up to temperature as this occurs when the truck has already been on the road for over an hour at a comfortable temperature and then it just erratically starts spewing out unbearable temperatures. I have thermal imaging pictures as high as 153 degrees Fahrenheit while the set temperature is 70. Something definitely wrong. I am submitting this complaint as I am tired of turning the truck in for repairs. Maybe if enough people say something, Ford will do something.

When at a signal light with the brake pushed, we are experiencing an issue where the whole vehicle will unexpectedly lurch forward as if hit from behind after coming to a stop. This could possibly result in the truck hitting the vehicle in front of you if you are in tight traffic. Our local dealer inspected but could not find a solution.

This is the 3rd time this has happened since purchasing this vehicle. Purchased on 7/27/24. The previous 2 times it resolved itself and the vehicle started and ran with no apparent issues afterwards.1st was on 8/05/24, 2nd was on 10/14/24. On this 3rd and current time I went to start the vehicle and vehicle would not start. The lights and radio work but the vehicle did not start. Only displayed a stop safely now message on the instrument panel. This is one of my worse fears happening as I type this. I'm stranded with a vehicle that will not start and my father is on his death bed with no way to get to him....

Incredible load white noise from all speakers, unable to stop without turning truck off. Volume controls do nothing, turning off all radios and accessories does not stop it.

HVAC temperature does not regulate in the winter months. When the temperature is set to the 60’s the vehicle continues to blow air in the 80’s. It gets extremely hot and the only way to cool down is by setting the temperature to low, turning on the a/c, or opening a window. This is with ambient temperatures in the 20’s-30’s

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The rear backup camera fails to show in the display and/or freezes. This happens inconsistently so it is not easy to reproduce. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? When backing up and using the camera, when the camera feed freezes it could look like nothing is behind the vehicle. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No. The problem has been happening since the vehicle was purchased.

Another Ford F150 Supercrew leak from the front cowling area into the passenger floorboards. This is a 2022 Hybrid F150 Supercrew built during COVID and purchased March 9, 2022. There are too many reports online of leaks due to lack of sealing components where large aluminum parts meet. For example the fender and the cowling area. This particular leak is having a dealership spend 17 book hours at $215 per hour plus parts to fix a defect in workmanship. Ford is offering to partailly pay for the fix since the vehicle is 6000 miles out of warranty. The fact it is a defect in workmanship is not a consideration. It was never sealed. Thank you

Component: The B&O Unleashed speaker system upon turning vehicle on, put out this extremely loud pop and then extremely load crackling noise followed by extremely loud constant noise that only stopped when vehicle is turned off. Health: Ears are still ringing causing terrible headaches. Dealer: No, Ford has done nothing about it No confirmation of issue No inspection No warning lamps/messages/symptoms

The driver's side rear shock mounting bracket weld broke. This creates a suspension and safety problem as the rear bracket and shock are moving and could interfere with the wheel/axle. The problem was confirmed by a dealer and independent service center. An engineer from Ford Motor Co. inspected the failure. There were no warning or other symptoms of the problem other than a squeaking noise while driving.

I have confirmed that my passenger side rear axle bolt has sheared off and I am concerned about the safety of driving my truck. I need a remedy, I have contacted Asheville, NC Ford dealership, they said they would talk to a manager and get back to me. I am concerned about my safety with continued use of my new truck. I need Ford to take this matter seriously.

Vehicle loss of power!! After turning occasionally I will only have enough power to remain at low low speed. Sometimes having to pull over to side of the road because I can’t gain speed and traffic is coming quickly. Problem lasts 30 seconds or more before it kicks in. Doesn’t matter if my foot is pressed to the floor there is no response.

My truck has BlueCruise technology. I have noted that the technology can be dangerous and drive me off the road, particularly in an area of an Interstate I drive often. Each time I go through that area, it will drive me off the road if I don't catch it. Always in the same place and in the same way.

We have been stranded twice for the recall issued in late January 2024, for the rear axle. The truck is currently at the 5th dealership since January2024. The truck is not driveable and Ford still does not have a way to fix the issue. We are having the axle replaced for the second time by a Ford dealership, with no assurance that they have determined how to solve the problem. We picked the truck up from the last axle repair on 2-21-24. We had a rear wheel sensor issue on 3-6-24, after driving less than 1000 miles. On 3-28-24, the axle defect occurred again. The truck was towed again. The Ford website says they do not yet have a solution, yet their certified mechanics continue to “fix” the issue.

Recently completed the safety recall for my 2022 F150 axle bolt replacement. The dealer informed me that this is a "repair" and not a solution to why the axle bolt broke leading to replacement of both the left and right axle shafts. My dealer service manager told me Ford does not have a permanent "fix" to the axle bolt problem and will keep my recall service ticket open as this bolt may break again. I am concerned about my safety driving this truck now. Please assist with my issue and others who are experiencing this same problem.

Horrific noise made by sound system? I have the video as proof of needed? I'm glad it occured when the vehicle was parked.

Loud pop from sound system is back again, and did it so loud scared the crap out of a passenger, this is beyond dangerous, the software update didn’t work, Ford denies any issues at all exist on anything.

Parked running boards do. Or always go up, lighting stays on for 10 min, have to go play with on/off over and over and to get it to shutoff. On the HwY BC shuts off out of nowhere, and ping pongs back and forth. Get messages saying drivetrain failure, steering failure go to the Dealer naturally. Nothing wrong. This is a big [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Sync 4 with the B&O unleashed system. Yes anytime. Extremely loud noises came from speakers upon startup of engine. It continued for several minutes accompanied by loud static as well. Ears hurt for hours after. This happened with 2700 miles on speedometer. Has happened 2 more times since. Dealer acts like I don't know what I am talking about and got little answer Dealer unable to duplicate. Manufacturer has not reached out to me There was no warning of the occurrences at any time. Extremely unsafe to operate when it can happen with out warning. If no fix I will be unleashing this truck to another poor sapp.

Started the vehicle and an extremely loud popping noise came through the speaker system, then a horribly loud and terrible staticky clicking sound continued for 15 minutes or so, even after turning off the vehicle, locking it, and walking away from it.

AC suddenly stops working after 1 your driving. Happened twice after driving a week.

Overview: Intermittent issue with audio system in vehicle making/playing EXTREMELY LOUD popping noise out of speakers randomly and with no warning. Sounds like someone is setting off explosions or a firearm inside the cabin, playing from all(?) or most of the speakers. Happens randomly and intermittently with no determinant cause. Might be driving, parked, etc.. sometimes it will be a month or so before it happens again, sometimes 2x a day. Cannot stress how loud it is when it does happen, hearing damage levels. Happened again today (7/31/23) while parked (truck running) with my 11mo son sleeping in the back (was just sitting in the parking lot waiting for him to wake up before heading into the store). He was absolutely terrified. Ford dealership service has looked into it before, but since we can't replicate the issue on command there doesn't seem to be much they can do. There are many reports online of other folks having the same issue. Safety: Aside from the loudness of the issue, this is a major safety hazard. The audio issue is so loud and unexpected that if it happened at the wrong time It could easily cause an accident. One doesn't expect to suddenly hear cannons going off when merging into traffic on the freeway, and it could result in erratic maneuvers as one makes a panic response to what sounds like gunfire. Problem has been unable to be replicated (in my case) at the dealer. Vehicle has been inspected/evaluated multiple times. No warning lamps/indicators/messages correspond to this, other than random and recurring issues with the infotainment system and other problems that seem ongoing.

Stereo has made extremely loud popping sounds and now radio makes static sounds and popping sounds

Started vehicle and plugged phone im to play music/charge. Immediately, there was an incredible loud sound: it sounded almost like a gun shot. There was then a loud crackling sound which sounded like glass shattering. It scared me considerably. Thankfully I was parked. I shut the vehicle off and restarted. There was no more noise, but all audio ceased to work. Approximately 3 hours later, the problem went away when I went back put to start the vehicle. If this were to happen while traveling, especially in traffic, it could case a dangerous situation.

While turning on my car, there was an extremely loud pop and deafening noise "exploding" in the truck cabin. If I had been driving at the time, the sudden and extreme noise would have caused me to react in a way to lose control of the vehicle. The noise was easy over 120db. It is been two hours since it happened and my ears are still hurting. I had to remove the radio fuse for this to stop. The issue has been reported to Ford by many users multiple times and no actions have been taken by Ford (see multiple cases here: https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/extremely-loud-electrical-pop-followed-by-loud-static.9591/). There were not warning lamps or messages when this happened.

Vehicle B&O Unleashed sound system makes seemingly random BOOMs at full volume (>1000watt system) then a crackling and static sound as well. This is a health risk as my ears hurt 2 days afterward and were ringing no less than 2 hours. This is a safety risk as it seems like gunshots and I was panicked and almost wrecked. Others on forums have wrecked. Here is a description of the “event” this Saturday 5/6/23 Start truck, tiny popping sound, think little of it. Drive about 2 minutes then BOOM BOOM BOOM three speaker max volume blasts, then tweeters start to crackle and give that constant “static” sound. All tweeters continued for minutes. (video in middle of this) I stopped at a light, turned truck off and turned back on… no change sounds continue. Stopped at another light, turned truck off, opened door, then turned back on. The static stopped but crackles continued, upon restart static and crackles both continue. What was curious is that as I sped up the volume increased and decreased slightly when I slowed down, which is in line with the variable speed settings. I thought that was peculiar as it indicates some of the settings are still sending normal signals. Stopped, turned off truck, got out and closed door, and fifteen seconds later all sounds finally stopped (have video of this but too much data for NHTSA online portal system).

Extremely loud popping and then static noise from speakers. Loud enough to cause ear pain. Has happened twice to date.

I remote started the vehicle, when inside the vehicle I pressed the start button. Directly after pressing the start button, a very loud pop followed by static played through the speakers. I was not able to turn the audio volume down or off. I was forced to drive home while the loud static noise continued to play through the speakers. When I arrived home about 25 minutes later, I was able to disconnect the vehicles battery to stop the static playing. I also noticed a burnt electrical smell inside the vehicle but could not identify where specifically the smell was coming from. The following day, the issue seamed to be resolved but the audio quality appeared to be diminished. The subwoofer is no longer working as a result of this audio issue. This would have been very dangerous had I been driving when the problem started and if I had my young child in the vehicle.

Right rear axle bolt sheared. See https://www.f150forum.com/f129/2021-powerboost-rear-rotor-axle-bolt-sheared-515460

I went out to my vehicle in the morning and when opening the door a loud pop came from the speakers and then static there after. The pop was so loud my ears rang for quite awhile. The problem some how was gone 15 minutes later. I have young children and my worry is this happens when they are in the vehicle.

Tonight when I started my truck there was a loud pop sound that came from the sound system. The stereo then had no volume with any source. I shut down the vehicle and restarted it. As soon as it turned on again, the sound system had incredibly loud static coming from every speaker. My ears were ringing and when I screamed to my eight year old to get out of the truck, she could not hear me. I tried to turn the truck on and off multiple times and I eventually had to abandon it and take my wife’s car. I have a video that shows my truck was turned off and the sound system would not stop making the awful noise. I just can’t attach it to this report.

Wile driving my vehicle after a rain storm (it was not currently raining) water started to drip from the speaker above the driver. The ceiling from the middle of the driver door to the center of the windshield was soaking wet. While the vehicle does have a sunroof it is never used. I checked for blocked drain ports and they are not blocked. There would be no reason for them to be blocked on a new vehicle that never opens the sunroof. I have been unable to get a dealership to schedule service to inspect for if the drain tubes are connected or not, or for any other issues that would lead to the leak. The only immediate safety issue was the distraction caused by water dripping on me while I was driving. The longer term safety concern is mold and water potentially affecting the numerous electronics for hands free driving, emergency braking, lane departure, etc. The headliner was wet all the way to the center of the windshield in the area where some of the emergency braking and lane departure electronics are.

Loud pop followed by loud static from all speakers on start. Turned vehicle off and problem persisted until battery was disconnected.

When I got into my truck and pressed the start button, there was an extremely loud popping noise that appeared to be coming from the sound system. It was so loud that it caused ringing in my ears. I immediately attempted to shut off the truck, but the noise continued. I opened the door to exit the vehicle, and the loudest noises stopped, but a static sound remained. I got out, shut the door, and locked and unlocked the vehicle several times before the noises stopped. It has now happened to me on two separate occasions. Rear speakers now sound like they're blown and have a terrible rattle. I contacted my dealer, Bluebonnet Forn in New Braunfels Texas, and was told that there have been numerous reports of this type o event but they have no idea what s causing it and it'll take them 4-5 days before they can even look at my truck.

This has happened twice to me. The latest was about 7 days ago. There was a loud popping and static sound when driving my vehicle so loud that I had to exit the truck and my neighbors came and asked if I was ok because it was so loud. I couldn't get it to stop by shutting things off. Talked to my sales guy and he suggested I disconnect the negative cable to the battery for 30 min or more, but there needs to be some sort of fix for this as it is a larger issue. It is undriveable when it happens and I likely would have crashed if I was on the highway. Ford is very slow with any response and the dealership can't do anything until they issue a TSB.

Rear passenger door latch failed and actually flew open in the middle of intersection while door was locked! Entered intersection from a full stop. Shut door repeatedly when we entered the truck. Seemed to have trouble shutting completely. Needed a couple tries get closed. Thankfully my kids had their seatbelts on! I have never heard of this kind of thing happening with today’s safety standards.
