2023 FORD F-150 Unknown Or Other Problems

​"When driving on Interstate 15 in Draper/Bluffdale, external electronic interference forcefully disconnects the vehicle's infotainment and safety displays. This causes the main screen to go black, reboot, or freeze while moving at highway speeds (70+ MPH). This creates an immediate distraction hazard and disables navigation instructions during high-speed traffic flow. The vehicle's shielding is insufficient to protect the driver from this predictable external interference, leading to a recurring safety hazard in a known dead zone."

I was driving on highway at 60 mph when drivers side rear window suddenly shattered. It was very confusing what was going on until my wife said that the window shattered. Luckily, no on was in that seat since there was glass everywhere. I dont believe anything hit the window, there was no indication something was wrong intil the shatter noise.

I first received notification from Ford concerning this Safety Recall but despite calls to numerous dealers throughout the area no parts as as yet , January 5th, are available to make the repairs. It has been 8 months since the Safety Recall was sent out. This is well past a reasonable time for Ford to have the parts available.

I recieved the recall. It states parts are available. I called my dealer in Cortex, CO and was told they could not get the part to perform the repair.

I was notified that my Truck has a safety recall and immediately reported this to Frontier Ford via email on 8/18/25 per the service advisors request. Frontier Ford [XXX] [XXX] It's now been 4 months and I'm still waiting for the replacement part. I've been told by the service advisor that it is ok to drive my truck, unless I hear any noise from the axle. No inspections have been done. I'm concerned about safety I don't want to overreact, but at the same time it's been 4 months. Please advise.

My F150 2023, while driving at slower speeds on four different occasions while applying the brakes, the truck will start accelerating all on its own! I contacted a ford dealer and they verified on their end that the truck has done this. I have also read from other owners having this same situation.

Transmission making whining noise. Started making whiny noise at 14,000 miles. Currently has 18,000 miles. Complained to the dealer, but dealer said that this type of transmission makes this kind of noise and it is normal. Which is not normal from everything that I’m reading. It’s basically the transmission is failing and it’s just a matter of time before it quits completely. I will attach a note from the dealer.

2023 Ford F150 seemed to spontaneously ignite, resulting in total loss of F150 due to fire and extensive damage to a civilian pickup and trailer.

The camera/ screen doesn’t always come on when you start the vehicle. Sometimes I start the truck and then put it in reverse but the camera does not display in the screen. At times the screen doesn’t turn on for several minutes after I’m driving.

My wife went to back out of our driveway. She was on the side of the driveway in some stones. She put the F150 into 4 Wheel High which she has done numerous times. She shifted the truck into reverse with her foot on the brake and the truck accelerated and hit a tree 10' away from the rear of the truck, The truck has been taken for evaluation. I have to report my truck accelerated on its own. I called Ford Motor twice and was on hold for an hour with no luck. There were no warnings at all on the dash. Insurance Adjuster looked at it and told me to have it towed the the body shop for further evaluation. My wife was hurt and a contractor was standing in the are near the tree. The Truck is now at SJM Auto in Sugarloaf PA

Ford is aware of an issue on the 2023 Ford F150 with Pro Power Inverter. When the inverter turns on, the RF frequency emitted blocks the tire pressure sensors from sending their signal creating a fault. Dealers are recommending that owners replace their sensors rather than performing the fix. In many cases the vehicle is now out of warranty requiring customer to pay for the fix.

Spontaneous shatter of the entire rear glass, outward, when shutting the rear door. There was no crack in the glass. The truck is still under full warranty but Ford will not even respond at this point. As you can see from the photos, the glass blew out backwards. A google search and forum search indicates there could be a recurrent issue with the Ford vehicle.

Moonroof Wind Deflector Detachment – Request for Inspection/Assistance.writing to report a recurring issue with the moonroof wind deflector on my 2023 Ford F150 Platinum Series. On two separate occasions, the deflector has detached while I was driving under normal conditions, at highway speeds. with no visible damage or signs of wear prior to the incidents. First occurrence June 2024 while driving up an on-ramp to highway estimated speed 45 mph entire part detached from my vehicle, was ran over by semi truck following behind my vehicle. My Vehicle was under warranty part was replaced by Ford dealership On [XXX]. Second occurrence July 2025 while driving in heavy traffic on interstate, estimated speed 60 mph. Entire part detached and struck the vehicle behind me. A manufacturer part flying off your vehicle once is a freak incident. safety issue. This has raised concerns for me regarding the safety and durability of the moonroof air deflector. because of the risk of damage to my own vehicle, but also due to the potential hazard it poses to other drivers on the road. A detached part at highway speed could easily cause an serious accident or injury. The part appears to be inadequately secured to withstand wind forces during normal operation. i believe this may point to a design or Manufacturer flaw and should warrant further investigation. Please let me know if you require any additional information. I would be happy to provide. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The rear axle hub bolt was found to be broken off, same as the other recalled vehicles from this manufacturer. I have been waiting over 2 1/2 weeks for my vehicle to be repaired with no parts in stock yet and no loaner vehicle.

While driving my 2023 Ford F-150 XLT through a parking lot at low speed, I attempted to stop and shift into reverse to avoid a tight turn between parked vehicles. With my foot firmly on the brake, I shifted into reverse—though the gear shift was abnormally resistant. The system indicated the vehicle was in reverse. Despite keeping my foot on the brake, the truck suddenly and forcefully accelerated on its own, overriding my braking input. It collided with two parked vehicles before I was able to bring it to a stop by turning off the engine. The vehicle continued to accelerate even while I applied firm pressure to the brake pedal, which depressed all the way to the floor and failed to stop the truck. At no point did I press the gas pedal. After impact, the gear shift remained in reverse with a blinking red light. No airbags deployed. This was an extremely dangerous situation that could have seriously injured someone had they been standing nearby. Additionally, for some time leading up to the incident, I noticed increasing difficulty shifting gears even with the brake fully depressed. At times when in park the light for other gear modes would turn on.  Indicating the vehicle may be in another mode other than park.  The brake pedal has also felt inconsistent, often requiring unusually deep and forceful pressure to stop, whether on highways, city streets, or in parking lots. This appears to be a critical failure of both the braking and transmission systems. I am extremely concerned for my safety and that of other Ford drivers. I am requesting a formal investigation into this matter

Told by Ford to create this incident to have my 2023 F150 Lariat added to the Ford FSA list for missing Heated steering -- Heated Steering Wheel Performance Upgrade 22G06. The vehicle matches all of the Affected Vehicles information but was not included on the for FSA list.

This vehicle started having issues. The truck would shut off going down the highway at 60-65 mph. The radio would blink on and off. The truck would shut down and not turn back on for multiple hours. Dealer couldn't replicate the problem. Our son utilized the truck to go and pick up LP gas for us from his shop. On the way back to our home, he stopped at a stop sign and suddenly noticed smoke coming from the dash. He attempted to put out the fire which was then raging under the dashboard and hood. He got the fire out, fire department arrived, truck ignited again. The fire department put out the truck. Son was burned trying to not have the truck explode with gas tanks in the back.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally report a recurring water intrusion issue with my vehicle, which poses a potential safety risk. Whenever it rains and the vehicle is parked outside, water consistently leaks into the passenger-side interior. While driving, especially during acceleration or braking, I can hear the sound of water moving within the passenger side area. Upon inspection, I have found water pooling in the front passenger footwell, where multiple electrical wires are located. Additionally, there is an electrical control box situated beneath the passenger seat that may also be exposed to moisture. I also discovered water leaking behind the rear seat area. This section contains two air vents, which may be contributing to the issue. The water intrusion raises serious concerns about electrical system integrity, especially given the presence of wiring and components in affected areas. Although my vehicle has not yet experienced electrical failure while driving, I am aware of multiple reports from other owners who have encountered similar leaks that led to sudden engine shutdowns, including while driving in traffic — a serious safety hazard. I brought my vehicle to the service center for evaluation, but as of now, I have not received any resolution or updates regarding a fix. I have several videos of the situation as well. Given the potential risk to both vehicle occupants and others on the road, I respectfully request that the NHTSA investigate this matter further to determine whether a recall or other safety action is warranted. Thank you for your attention to this serious issue.

Recall Reference Number: 23S65 Potential of a rear-axle hub bolt break that can lead to a loss of vehicle power and the ability to maintain Park. Ford has STILL not came up with a fix for this.

I continually get remote features disabled to preserve battery. Have taken it in to dealer, they can't find anything. I am told to drive truck for forty minutes or so. This doesn't help because in a couple of days it goes back to the warning., It offers updates for the software for the ford pass app It will never download. It says an error has occurred I didn't pay over $70000 for this truck to have to take it for a forty minute drive every couple of days to keep the battery charged If t can not be repaired, I would like a refund of my money and you take your truck back. This incident occurs every three or four days. .

I am writing to request assistance regarding the Customer Satisfaction Bulletin published by NHTSA, titled "Heated Steering Wheel Performance Upgrade 22G06": [XXX] I purchased a 2023 Ford F-150 Tremor from Ryan Ford in Sealy, TX, as a custom order with a build date of December 2022. While I originally paid for a heated steering wheel as part of the vehicle's configuration, this feature was removed during production due to supply chain issues. The omission is noted on my vehicle’s window sticker. Upon reviewing the 22G06 bulletin, I understand that certain F-150 vehicles, including those built in December 2022 at the Dearborn plant, qualify for the upgrade. Based on this information, my truck appears to meet the eligibility criteria outlined in the bulletin. I initially contacted my sales agent at Ryan Ford to arrange the upgrade but was informed that my truck is not eligible and was directed to contact Ford Customer Service. When I reached out to Ford Customer Service, I was advised to contact NHTSA, as Ford is unable to consider adding my truck to the VIN list for eligibility without NHTSA approval. This back-and-forth has left me without a clear resolution or pathway forward. Could you please clarify why my vehicle is deemed ineligible for this upgrade, despite seemingly meeting all the stated criteria? Furthermore, I would appreciate your guidance on how I can ensure my dealership completes this upgrade, considering my vehicle's apparent qualifications. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

While driving my 2023 Ford F-150 on the freeway, the sunroof spontaneously shattered without warning. The failure occurred at highway speeds, producing a loud gunshot-like sound that startled me. The glass broke in an upward trajectory, which is inconsistent with the possibility of an external object, such as a rock, causing the damage. There were no other vehicles around me at the time, and no debris struck the windshield or surrounding areas. The shattered sunroof remains available for inspection upon request. The safety of myself and others was put at significant risk. Shattered glass could have fallen into the cabin while I was driving, potentially causing injuries or a distraction that might lead to an accident. Minutes prior to the incident, I had two young children under three years old in the vehicle, heightening my concern about the severity of this issue. Thankfully, they were not present when the sunroof shattered. The problem has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center, but I did bring the vehicle to the dealership where I purchased it. The dealership, after consulting with Ford corporate, denied warranty coverage and suggested the damage was caused by a rock. This conclusion does not align with the circumstances or the nature of the damage. Neither the manufacturer nor any independent service center has inspected the sunroof further for potential defects. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to the incident. This failure was entirely sudden and unexpected. Based on my research, spontaneous sunroof shattering is a documented issue that has occurred in similar vehicles, often attributed to defective tempered glass or thermal stress. I believe this incident is the result of a manufacturing defect in the sunroof glass.

I was stopped behind a car inside of a parking lot about 15 feet behind it and all of a sudden my engine rev up, accelerated unexpectedly, and the truck surged forward. I immediately put the brakes to the floorboard to try to stop the vehicle but it continued to lunge forward. I looked down for a split second and saw that my foot was completely on the break pedal to the floorboard. I that instant i tried to put it in neutral and I ended up putting it in park. Even though I try to stop, I ended up, hitting the car in front of me My truck is at the cerritos california ford dealership. I reported it to Ford customer service with the same information about how it happened as above There were no warning lamps Immediately after the accident happened within four hours, i drove my truck to the dealership after consulting with my insurance company and Ford customer service Ford customer service stated they wanted the truck at the dealership right away before any bodywork or repairs be completed from an outside collision center so they can inspect it

Air Conditioner will stop working after minutes of being on. This is not bearable in 95-110 degree weather.

I bought my 2023 F150 August 31 2023 and a few days later with just 600 miles on it the air conditioner quit working. We were traveling and turned it off for a couple hours and when turned back on it worked. Called the salesman and he said there have other incidences. Today 7/01/24 it happened again, and opening the hood I saw that the air conditioning lines were frozen. If this issue with fan not blowing when needing the defroster there could be safety issues driving in freezing precipitation. Dealer could not replicate so said there was no problem. There were no warning lights with regard to this problem.

The 360 camara does not always come on for several minutes after starting up. This prevents me from using the bachup canera and therefore I ciuld run over something or somebody when backing out of my garage or out if a parking spot. I have taken the truck in to to different dealers and all they say is they can't duplicate the problem. I even show them a viseo of it happening to me but say they have to see it to fix it. I see all of the ford SUV's are on recall, so wht aren't the F150's? This is a very dangerous situation that needs to be corrected asap. I swe many owners on tge internet with the same problem. Please help!

- Component: Air conditioning system. - Safety: A/C failure in summer heat conditions over 90 degrees. - This a known Ford issue with thousands of complaints and not resolution. Ford does not want to repair issue. - Ford dealership - Symptoms: AC blower can be heard ramping up but no air is coming through the vents. ** This an on-going issue with Ford that they are failing to rectify. My 2023 Ford F-150 has less than 7k miles and the A/C has already stopped functioning. The compressor and A/C components are freezing up and not allowing air into the cabin. This is a safety issue when temperatures are in the 90's in the south. Ford has not taken responsibility and has failed to correct the problem. There are several blogs and complaint websites with consumers complaining about the same issues. Something must done. I made an appointment and Ford did not want to repair. Please take action and issue a recall.

The AC stops blowing and cooling at an adequate speed after driving for a period of time. The safety issue is that while the blower is malfunctioning, it cannot defog/defrost the windshield.

On trips over 100 miles or 45 minutes the A/C will freeze over and the blower motor will go to reduced speed and not blow cold. Checked pressures and they are to spec. Able to recreate issues repeatedly.

2023 F-150 with only 12k miles, air not blowing on A/C. No cold air blowing at all. Blower can be heard on but no flow. Happening intermittently and of course no defrost or defog when present affecting visibility. Issue described and reported by many drivers. Ford not acknowledging issue since not easy to replicate. Happens randomly.

The screen in the dash consistently does not work. It's goes blank, turns blue, or continuously restarts. This screen contains the backup camera, backup camera for the pro trailer feature, climate controls, and radio. The wireless App projection also does not work. Unable to use rear view camera. Contacted Ford and was told this is "a nightmare" and "there are currently no known fixes". This is a known issue from Ford and causes significant risk to the consumer and other drivers on the road. I've contacted Ford Corporate after my dealership could not help me and I was given the same response, but in more politically correct terms.

Randomly the ac line will freeze over and no air flow will come out of the vents although the fans can be heard working. Issues is not a simple thing to be duplicated and have brought it to 3 ford locations and still having the issue. They won’t attempt to repair anything else that could be the issue like the compressor because of fear of ford giving a bad review to the shop and mechanic. Just this week 2/28 I took the vehicle in while issue was happening and once the line defrosted and air flow came back I was again sent away because they could not replicate. This is a huge problem as I cannot defrost or defog my windshield in cold weather.

The air conditioning stopped cooling on several ocasiones, they changed the air sistema and it failed egain

So I was driving for an hour & it felt like my AC went out. You could hear the AC blowing but it felt like it was restricted through the air vent. I had it on 7 & it felt like I had it on 1 the air was barely coming out. You could definitely hear the air trying to blow when I raised it up to 7 but no air was getting thru the vents. Felt like it clogged up. Also the temperature of the very little air that was coming through the vent was warm. So I had to lower down the windows just to get fresh air in the cab as my family was complaining it was getting hot. All of this happening at 550 miles

IWE four wheel drive system is engaging while driving the vehicle. Rough shaking in the front end of vehicle and grinding noise while driving. Ford has acknowledged there is a defect but the truck is operating normally and they are trying to fix the issue. Initially I was told it was unsafe to drive , but now that they do not know how to fix the issues they told me to just drive it until it completely breaks down. This is very unsafe. The vehicle is a 2023 F150 with 6,000 miles

2 issues Issue 1 Cluster tripometer randomly resets miles and mpg. Images attached. See this link for more details [XXX] Issue 2 Power train continues to "slip" randomly.

My truck worked fine for six months and then Ford did an update(power up) on December 14, 2023. On December 15, 2023 I took my truck to a dealership to find out why my phone,making and receiving calls, produced a static response. In order to make phone calls, I need to stop my vehicle, turn off the vehicle and open and close the door. Dealership techs had no idea why. Have talked to Ford Motors half a dozen times since then and was told Ford is aware of the problem, most likely caused by the December 14, 2023 update. Six weeks later and each time I have called I'm told that Ford is working on it. My call yesterday left me with the impression that Ford isn't all that interested in resolving the matter. Why isn't there a recall on this problem, since I'm told the static on cell phone calls through the sync 4 system is quite common.Thank you.

When it’s below freezing, I am experiencing a loud humming/rumbling noise while driving. It last for a mile or two then stop. I haven't drove the vehicle much in fear or damaging anything. There are 2 other vehicle in my area experiencing the same issue & they have the same vehicle. I've been to dealer, they werent able to duplicate the issue but informed me a sales advisor there with the same truck is also having this issue but havent found a fix as it continues to happen. There are many compliants and videos online regarding this issue. Ford need to open an inverstigation into this issue and provide a recall/remedy.

AC turn off when operating truck when temperature is at 60 degrees or higher. Ford is aware of this issue but has no fixed. This dangerous when outside temp is over 85 degrees. Went to shop 1/3/2023 and 11/06/23 in Okc. Prior pulled in Tulsa dealership to address issue .

Truck is not capable of intermittent temperature settings. It is either HOT or COLD. Setting manually to 63 degrees and it’s blowing 80 degree air. the final setting, towards the colder option is LO, and that blows ambient air, in this case cold. So. You options are COLD or HOT making maintaining a reasonable temperature in the cabin and clear windows impossible.

Loud vibration while driving, similar to passing over a rumble strip, believed to originate from IWES operating in colder weather. Fear of damage from grinding parts effecting operation of 4WD system.

Both front IWE’s are in question. When it’s cold out like below 32 degrees, I driving and hear a grinding noise. Sounds like a bearing type noise when they are stuck engage and one free spinning. The dealer told me if I hear noise again to engage/press 4high. The noise went away but not fixed.

EIWE (Electronic Integrated Wheel End) failure or malfunction. Ford has multiple Field Service Engineers aware of the issue with no fix found. Multiple vehicles not only at one dealership but across the country have confirmed issues. Ford Customer Relations is aware and has an open case with me and many other owners. As requested for Ford case manager, the vehicle is currently going back for a third time to the dealership for something "they can't currently fix".

My vehicle has under two thousand miles on it and it has randomly made a sound while driving 35 mph or below of rumbling sound underneath the truck. It sounds like I'm driving over rumble strips. I am attaching a link from a FORD forum where others are reporting this problem with the 2023 ford f150 xlt. I called FORD and they said to register the issue on this website. There is also a youtube video concerning the sound. [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Ac lines freezing.

At 300 miles, air conditioner lines froze up. Took to dealer; wouldn't fix it. At 700 miles, air conditioner lines froze up again. In 100+ temps outside, this is a safety issue the dealer refuses to fix.

The center console lid (work surface style console lid), continues to fall closed due to the springs not being strong enough to support the weight of the lid in the open/up position. If you are not paying attention or holding the lid open/up, it will slam close/down without warning. Since the lid is open, you can assume the inside of the console is being accessed, thus the lid slams closed on hands/fingers. It is bad enough for adults, but is extremely dangerous to the small hands of children. I have reported the issue to my local Ford Dealership and to Ford Corporate. Currently there are no recalls or solutions to the issue. A quick search of the internet, shows how big an issue this is on the Ford F-150's

Excessively loud speaker sound on B&O unleashed

My truck features the B&O speakers and initially I heard a very loud pop on the passenger side of the vehicle. Radio and CarPlay was playing but no sound was coming from the speakers. Then an extremely loud static noise vibrated the entire truck through the speakers at full volume. I had family in the car and it scared everyone. Pulled over and shut the car off and the static persisted until the electronics fully shut off. Went back in the truck and turned it on and the static continued. On the 3rd try 5 minutes later the static finally stopped and everything worked “normal”.
