general problems of the 2022 Ford F-150 - part 2

Front differential diagnosed as failed, needing a full rebuild or replacement by local Ford dealer. The vehicle now has 70,700 miles, the noise first thought to be a wheel bearing at 60k+ miles. Safety concerns are a possibility of a failure at highway speeds,. I have reviewed similar complaints with fewer miles on similar 2022 Ford F-150 trucks having these component failures.

While proceeding through a four-way stop, my vehicle unexpectedly lost driveline engagement. The engine began free-spinning while still in "drive," and the truck stopped accelerating, leaving me stranded in the middle of the intersection. I had to shift repeatedly between park and drive before the vehicle would respond and move again. This is not an isolated incident. The same failure occurred previously in early 2024. The vehicle has also exhibited persistent transmission issues, including gear hunting and harsh downshifts, particularly a hard clunk during the 4–3 shift on deceleration. The dealer has dismissed these symptoms in the past, stating it was due to the transmission being "cold. " however, the intermittent loss of driveline engagement presents a serious safety risk to myself and others, especially when it occurs in active traffic situations. This is the second time the vehicle has left me stranded without warning. I’m extremely concerned that Ford has not addressed this recurring safety issue. The condition is unpredictable and dangerous. Immediate investigation and corrective action are needed.

The 10r80 transmission is known to have issues with the cdf drum resulting in extremely hard downshift while driving and ultimately leads to transmission damage.

This is regarding Ford's known issue with their evaporator cited in TSB 22-2089. The evaporator caused a compressor to fail, which caused a power train failure notification in sync and on the phone app. The compressor is under warranty, but the evaporator is not, which causes a $3600 repair (parts and labor). According to the bulletin, the evaporator known issue is not considered a threat to life, even though it certainly is a threat to life to not have air conditioning in hotter states. The part is currently being replaced at our local dealership.

I was driving through rain on [xxx] and my truck was having trouble shifting in 4x4 mode. An error message appeared stating "4x4 service needed". I clicked ok and the message went away. Due to driving, I was unable to take a photo of the error message. When I called maguires Ford where I purchased the vehicle, they told me this message meant the system could malfunction and that I needed to bring the vehicle in ASAP. At first they told me there was no history of the error message and since they could not pull a code, there was nothing they could do. After reviewing a second time, they verified the error message did appear but they could still not pull a code so there wasn't anything they could do. They said most likely the rain got into the module and caused the system to malfunction. I asked how rain would get into the module and they didn't answer the question. No further investigation was completed and they told me to take the vehicle home. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

While driving multiple issues presented themselves. First was a drivers screen warning light. It said drivetrain malfunction-power reduced. I was on a 1000-mile road trip and wisas well into the trip. I kept driving without any operating issues with the exception of having steering wheel button controls malfunctions also. They included cruise control cancel button not working. The slow down button actually speeding up. This issue was actually repaired previously and now it is presenting itself again. Very unsafe when buttons work in reverse or don't work as intended. The drivetrain malfunction disappeared for the next few days but came back. There have been other wiring splicing repairs made at the dealer and these could be related. The wires were spliced because a wiring harness could not be obtained as it was backordered. Vehicle is just out of warranty and only has 23k miles. Critical wiring has corroded already.

I was driving down the road and heard a loud clunking noise. Then I had lost power and the rear wheels were spinning out of control. There was a grinding/spinning/whirring noise coming from beneath the vehicle, sounded like from behind. I was fortunately able to regain control of the vehicle by shifting it into 4wd and avoided an accident. I brought the vehicle to gaudin Ford for repair and was informed it was a recalled part failure recall number 23s65. I had previously requested the recall repairs to be performed during routine maintenance, but was informed parts were not available. At this time, I've been 6 weeks without my truck and there is no end in site. It was insinuated that they might not even be making this part anymore, but the Ford recall center was unable to confirm or refute this. In the interim, I do not have a suitable replacement. I have been provided a small vehicle as a loaner, but I am unable to use this to drive >50 mile radius, I can't leave the state, can't loan it to my children, can't tow or haul. All the things I need my truck for, I'm unable to do. Either, I need access to a rental with similar capability to my truck without all the restrictions, or fix the truck in a timely manner, or provide me a suitable loaner without all the restrictions, or buy back my truck, or something. Instead I feel like I'm being held hostage by a company who is refusing to fulfill the recall responsibility in a timely and suitable manner. I have contacted the dealer, Ford customer service, and the Ford recall center on numerous occasions and have been told that other than getting an update when the part is available, there's nothing else they can do. The Ford case number is cxh05223671.

Transmission consistently shifts hard, both up and down gears, and has a constant vibration in overdrive gears at 45-55 mph. Transmission was inspected and found to have a bad valve body which was replaced. Vibration did not subside. Within 6 months, rough shifting returned and increased in frequency and force. Down shifting at braking becomes stuttered and can cause the vehicle to continue further along due to increased torque from the down shift. Up shifting can cause sudden acceleration due to inconsistent pause between hard shifts leading to unintended acceleration.

I have two recalls that I cannot get any assistance with recall # 23s65 rear axle bolt breakage and new recall #25s75 which is fuel pump riser. I have acquired services from four different dealerships and have taken photos and mileage to get repairs completed. I hear clicking noise in my truck and afraid of it causing serious damage and injury along with my fuel pump issue and bad gas mileage and noises when initial cranking my vehicle.

If not, what dealership will provide me courtesy like vehicle rental until completed. I currently of the bubba ostalet Ford 246 n. Broadway st. Jennings, la 70546.

On Sunday, [xxx], my truck spontaneously burst into flames while parked in my front yard. I had just returned from doing a number of errands. The truck had been running fine with no indications of a problem. I was outside tending to my smoker when I heard a sort of popping/crackling noise. I looked up at my truck approximately 40 feet away and saw flames shooting out from the engine bay through the hood gaps. I called 911 and attempted to douse the flames with a powder fire extinguisher with no luck. By the time the fire department arrived 15 minutes later or so, the truck was fully involved and burnt to the frame. I didn't smell gasoline during the initial startup, but a strong smell of burning wires. The concerns are of course for my safety and that of my family. It was just luck that the truck was parked in the front yard rather than next to my house where it's normally parked. We were have a sidewalk put in and thus my normal parking space wasn't available. I could've been driving at the time and with the speed of this fire, I'm not confident I would've been able to get out. The truck has been seen by the insurance company and is being towed out of my yard sometime today may 29th, 2025. I don't know where it will towed to. I have pictures and videos detailing the fire and it's progression. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I have had the rear axle bolts break 2 times now. Ford has had 2 years to come up with a fix and they have not as of today. The recall was issued over 2 years ago and the temporary fix is all they have come up with. Dealers are not wanting to take the trucks in trade, I have had to spend time and money for the temporary fix. Ford has had more than enough time to come up with a permanent fix and they have failed.

I received a letter many months ago from Ford stating that recall 23s65 would be remedied during the first quarter of 2025. Ford is now late in addressing this recall, and should face scrutiny, fines, or some other form of punishment. I continue to wait for information from Ford and for the fix itself. Meanwhile my truck is at risk every time I drive it.

Jan 2025 bought a 2022 Ford f150 lariat 3. 5 eco boost with 10 speed transmission with 32,000 miles on the transmission started going out around 35,000 miles as it was shaking, shuttering, and hesitating. Took it to one dealership they had it for a couple of weeks and couldn’t figure it out and said it was normal. I told them it’s not safe to drive with as bad as the hesitation was. Decided to go to another dealership they figured out the problem fixed and got it fixed. Drove it for a week starting have issues with it shaking between gears 7-10 with the smell of burning transmission fluid in the cabin. Took it back to the dealer they had it for 3 weeks drove the truck and felt the issue I explained but told me they couldn’t fix the problem and there is nothing they can do right now. During the time of going between dealerships got in contact with Ford they made a case against the truck but have not got involved with fixing the problem. All of this does not include the 2020 f150 lariat 3. 5 eco boost I bought at the end of 23’ with 38,000 miles and at 45000 miles had transmission issues and had to be rebuilt but never got fixed correctly so ended up having to trade it in with all of the other issues with that truck. Ford denied the buyback I applied for and refuses to fix the problem. This is a very big problem as this has been going on for a while with Fords 10 speed transmission.

Nhtsa recall number 23v896 has had two promise dates from Ford that have come and gone. There is currently no updated information on when this will be fixed. There is no acceptable excuse for this. It's not that hard to resolve.

Today is March 13, 2025. Ford motor CO promised to make parts available to repair this truck's axle as part of manufacturer recall 23s65 (NHTSA recall number23v896) by this month, March 2025. With 17 days left in the month, I have received no information regarding any possible future repair. Please push Ford to make good on their promise.

While driving at high speeds (over 50 mph) transmission shifts down to a lower gear and then shifts back up.

This is a 2022 Ford f15 . In 2023 ,at 34000 miles the tranfer case broke down in the middle of the road,waiting at a stop light. The truck needed to be towed. The dealer fixed it under the warranty. In 2024 at 57000 miles ,the same transfer case broke down as I was getting out of my driveway. Again it was towed to the dealer. In Feb 2025 I drove out of state and I observed a white smoke behing me. I stoped at a rest area and discover the the undercarriage is full of oil and the transmission got overheated. When I got back home I saw a lot of oil spots from the trans on my driveway. Now the car is at the dealer again. The worst part is even if I had an appointment 2 weeks later from the date I called, representative told me it will take another 2 weeks to fix the trans! every time the truck was at the dealer it took 2 weeks to get fixed and every time they told me theyy don’t have a loaner. That is my work truck and I can’t miss 2 weeks of work! I asked the representative what is going on with a car that is still under warranty and the transfer case broke twice in 2 years. The answer was that Ford knows about this problem but they do not have a solution to fix it properly. I asked him what I’m suppose to do after the warranty runs out? same guy told me that Ford will issue a recall and as long as there is a recall they will fix it with no extra charge but there is no recall on transfer cases from Ford! for a truck that I paid $90000 that is not acceptable. Please let me know my options. Thank you.

There are several issues with the truck, the worst being misfire issues while driving at highway speeds. Several times now I have been on the interstate at speeds and the truck will all of a sudden lose speed and shutter. The engine light will blink, and this will happen for a couple miles and then it goes back to normal. If you pull the codes on the truck, you get p0300, p0301, and p0305. This is in the dealership again now. The previous two times the dealership has done nothing because they can not duplicate the issue, but they do pull the codes.

Issue #1 transmission while going up steep incline and gears go from gear 10th to 9th gear there is a hard thump, dealership says they will not do anything if it passes their clutch pack test. Issue #2 rear driver shock absorber was replaced at 38,000 miles due to leakage. 4k miles(1month) later the new shocks paint is wore off and has the same markings the old one has, this will cause premature failure and premature rusting. The sock absorber on the other side has no markings and paint is fine (42k miles old) this may be due to a defective bolt bolt (w720200 s440 nut I had to have replaced as it was missing. . Then few months later the shock absorber went out and was charged ($358 for repair) now I have a premature wearing part installed again seems to be an overall issue with back end suspension.

Transmission issue starting at 60,000 miles with minor miss-shifts and hard shifting brought the truck in at 71,000 miles to get looked at after seizing had occurred. Initial incident occurred about two months before I brought the truck in where I put the truck in reverse and it would lock up the transmission, it would do one revolution and stop. We put the truck in drive. It would unload the whole drive train and get stuck. One revolution going forward, proceeded to put the truck in park it would decompress the drivetrain this would happen 3 to 4 times before the transmission would release and allow you to drive normally took the truck into the shop. They opened up the transmission and found that the cfd drum had ruptured causing the transmission to intermittently lock up.

Additionally, the rearview camera intermittently froze or displayed a blank image while reversing. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the transmission was slipping, and the transmission slammed into gear after the correct gear was recognized.

The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 35,400.

There are times that my 2022 Ford f150 powerboost will not accelerate. Mostly if I roll in a turn and press on the gas pedal. I don't hear anything, like it's a auto/stop issue. I'll have to come to a complete stop, or I'll have to leave my foot on the pedal, then it's like it kicks on with high rpm. There's no warning lights or messages. This time while I was on the highway during stop and go traffic.

1. Transmission. Auxiliary transmission fluid pump. 2. Yes. 3. No. 4. No. 5. No. Stopped at a traffic light, first inline near crosswalk. For no apparent reason, the vehicle jumped forward without any input from myself. Thought I was rear ended by someone behind me. Luckily, I always have my left foot on the brake pedal when stopped and was able to apply additional pressure to keep the vehicle from moving forward. This is a new to me, used vehicle. After doing research I see that this is an ongoing problem for the 2021 to present Ford f 150 powerboost, hybrid, trucks. Hopefully a safety recall will be issued.
