general problems of the 2022 Ford F-150

Vehicle will inadvertantly accelerate or set cruise control to high speeds when on residential and low speed roads. Several times when either coming to a stop or accelerating from a stop vehicle has entered cruise control at 55-57 mph. Had to brake to stop vehicle acceleration.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated while accelerating. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 25v455000 (fuel system, gasoline). The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

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.

At times mainly turning right or left you have no acceleration while pushing the gas pedal. Its like the pedal is dead and then all of sudden it kicks in and accelerates abruptly. Huge safety hazard in multiple ways.

Cruise control activation and set are only one touch on steering wheel far left button. The button for this is located where left hand palm falls on steering wheel, leading to unintended activation. Could be resolved by two step activation, I. E: press on, then press the separate set button.

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.

The blue cruise hands free driving feature does not work and has guided the vehicle off of the road. It also asks the driver to take the steering wheel, but will not register that has happened without a very hard pull on the wheel, which pulls the vehicle into other lanes of traffic. This is a very dangerous situation.

Loss of acceleration in 2022 Ford F-150 powerboost hybrid I am writing to report a safety issue with my 2022 Ford F-150 powerboost hybrid, which has been experiencing acceleration lag and loss of power during regular driving conditions. Component/system that failed: the powertrain system, specifically related to the integration between the electric motor and gasoline engine, appears to be malfunctioning. This issue primarily affects the vehicle's ability to accelerate after a stop or during turns. Safety risk: the loss of acceleration poses a significant safety risk to both myself and others on the road. The delay in throttle response has caused the truck to remain in a low gear for several seconds, even with the accelerator fully pressed. This issue has occurred while merging onto highways, when moving through intersections, where quick acceleration is necessary to avoid collisions and a simply stop signs taking a turn where I'm not able to accelerate after. The delay increases the likelihood of rear-end collisions and creates dangerous situations, especially in heavy traffic. The problem has been reproduced by a dealer and many other owners have reported the same issue. I'm hoping that Ford has releases powertrain control module (pcm) update aimed at addressing this, but the issue persists for many, including myself after recent pcm updates. The vehicle has been formally inspected by my local Ford dealership. They will be applying a pcm update on 10/10/2024. There were no warning lamps or error messages that appeared before or during the incidents. The problem occurs unexpectedly, usually when I press the accelerator, particularly in eco or normal driving modes. The issue has been less frequent in sport and tow/haul modes, but this results in increased fuel consumption, which negates the advantages of the hybrid system.

When traveling at low speeds, 10-15 mph, and coasting (no accelerator input) then pressing the accelerator there is no response. The engine will not rev up and the truck will not accelerate for a good 6-8 seconds. It happens usually in parking lots or when making low speed turns onto street intersections or pulling out of driveways. This is dangerous, as pulling in front of traffic then having no acceleration for several seconds could cause a rear-ending accident. It also happens often when going over steep small speed bumps in the parking garage at my office. It's very annoying and in some situations very dangerous. This has been happening since I bought the truck in January 2023. It is now sept 2024.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated while his wife was reversing, while the vehicle was still in reverse, the vehicle suddenly lunged forward and accelerated unintendedly. The contact stated that the vehicle crashed into an oversized tree before coming to a complete stop. No warning lights were illuminated. The front bumper and hood on the vehicle were damaged. The contact was concerned that his wife and several bystanders could have been seriously injured or killed due to the failure. The vehicle was towed to a local tow yard and a day later was towed to a body shop to be repaired. The vehicle was later towed to an independent mechanic to be repaired. The paramedics and local police arrived on the scene. A police report was filed. The contact stated that due to the impact of the crash into the tree, his wife bit through her tongue. The contact's wife received medical treatment at the scene, for a severely bitten tongue and whiplash. The contact's wife was not transported to a hospital. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 24,000.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle independently accelerated, and the contact heard an abnormal sound. The contact stated that the transmission upshifted from third gear into fifth gear. The contact stated that occasionally while the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. In addition, the low-voltage battery and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a failed hybrid ev battery pack. The contact was informed that the hybrid ev battery pack needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to several dealers due to the persistent failure and the hybrid ev battery pack was replaced twice. The failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The contact was advised to contact the NHTSA hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 52,000.

Since I have purchased the 2022 Ford F-150 I have had several incidents where the cruise control has set itself. A couple incidents have resulted in me slamming on the brakes to avoid collision. I have taken it to the dealer a few times and they have replaced everything that has to do with the cruise control and it still sets itself from time to time but it's sporadic. The dash lights/instrument cluster has went completely out 2-3 time and came back on. When it does come back on the drive mode disabled light is on and I can't change the drive modes. The entertainment/map screen has froze up several time. The map will freeze and I can't change the music or do anything on the screen.

The cruise control can be easily and accidentally activated and can be activated at any speed. Once activated, it has a minimum established speed of 15mph. If traveling at low parking lot speeds of under 5mph, this will result in a sudden surge as the truck attempts to hit the minimum 15mph speed. The sudden surge is a surprise to many and can be dangerous as it typically occurs in low speed areas such as parking lots and can be accidentally activated during low speed maneuvers. Recommend the manufacture adjust the settings so that either cruise control can not be activated when below the established minimum speed setting of 15mph. . Read more...

The dash screen where you can see speed fails. Towing required. Fixes itself hours later. Happen repeatedly. Dealer says no error codes, as if it never happened!.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle in a driveway, it failed to turn over and start. The contact depressed the brake pedal and the start-stop button again, but it failed to start. After another attempt, the vehicle restarted, inadvertently accelrated, and crashed into a wooden fence. There were no reported injuries. There was no air bag deployment, fire, or police report filed. The vehicle was towed to a body shop. The contact called the local dealer, who referred him to the manufacturer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred to the NHTSA hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000. The VIN was not available.

Runaway throttle at least 8 times now: 1. Driving in adaptive cruise control when deactivated by manual braking (to turn into a parking lot, which is a more common scenario for a brake based shutoff) 2. Parked nose first and shut off the truck 3. Start truck and reverse out of parking space 4. Shift to drive, apply throttle gently and truck continues to accelerate when throttle released requiring a panicked brake application.

When moving from park to drive, vehicle surges forward at full throttle. I have had the truck for 18 months and it has happened 4 times over the past 18 months and has been witnessed by a passenger.

The speedometer does not report the correct speed the truck is going it is off and the faster you go the more it is off. The dealership service manager tried to get it fixed twice and Ford engineering said that’s normal.

My truck accelerated on its own , repeatedly, while highway driving . Had to drive with brakes on until I was able to pull over . Turned off truck , waited a few minutes , turned back on and without having my foot anywhere near the accelerator, the truck accelerated on its own , as if someone was gunning the engine - while still in park . Turned off again . Nothing was near my accelerator to cause this - I managed to get to the dealership . They said it was my floor mats that caused the problem . They found nothing mechanical. I assured them the mat was not the cause - this truck nearly killed me and I know something is wrong with it . The acceleration was constant , the engine noise loud as if gunning - cruise control was not on . The truck has been driven several times by my husband and nothing has happened, but I will never drive it as it scared the life out of me . This is my 4th F-150 - I know the truck and know how to drive it . This is not normal obviously, and it isn’t the mat . I used the exact same mats in my previous truck for almost 5 years . Then transferred them - it’s not the problem ! the truck is dangerous and something is wrong .

When using one pedal drive modes going down an incline as a slow rate of speed say 2 - 3 mph. If you release your foot from the pedal the truck will come to a spot, then reverse 3 - 6" on that incline. This has cause on more then one occasion almost back into a vehicle that was behind me.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at slow speeds and making a left turn, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. The vehicle was restarted and worked as designed. The navigation system screen had frozen. While opening the sunroof, the deflector detached. While driving, the brakes was applied without driver input. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the deflector needed to be replaced. The other failures were unable to be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 13,696.

Unintended acceleration / rolling may occur when vehicle is remote started through Fordpass mobile application. The 1 pedal-drive vehicle setting is not preserved when using remote start. Vehicle may roll down hill upon entry. Default driver profile has 1 pedal drive off while all device profiles linked to Fordpass and phone-as-a-key have 1 pedal drive on. Fordpass mobile app remote start needs to preserve 1 pedal drive setting due to potential unintended acceleration when on flat surfaces or unintended reverse acceleration rolling down hills.

On may 25, 2023 I was stopped at a red light with one car in front of me. My foot was not on brake because I use the one peddle feature. All of the sudden, my car accelerated and ran into the car in front of me. In the 2 seconds before hitting car, I saw my collision assistant light go on but there was no braking at all. I've been driving for almost 40 years and nothing like this has ever happened. Clearly, something internally with the sensors or computer system malfunctioned. Fortunately, nobody was injured but I can't imagine if a pedestrian was in front of me. Also, the collision braking malfunctioned and brakes didn't go on either. I have not had anything problems with the truck in the 6 months I've been driving vehicle. The only error message I've been seeing before this accident is something about an air damn malfunction. I recently brought it into dealership and they said they fixed it but it was still coming on after leaving the dealership. Not sure exactly what this air damn is and if it could be related. I immediately called Ford about this and they said to contact NHTSA. I also quickly went to dealership where I purchased vehicle but they didn't seem to know what to do. My understanding, according to Ford, is to start the process with NHTSA. Let me know if you have any additional questions and what the next step is. I'm very concerned to drive vehicle when it comes back from getting all the damage fixed.

Rear tailgate lights red and white fill up with water and stop working. Cruise control jumps up 10mph when passing signs, very scary!.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 55 mph and attempting to overtake another vehicle, the vehicle excessively accelerated. The contact pumped the brake pedal several times to slow the vehicle. The contact pulled over and turned off and restarted the vehicle and drove safely to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The dealer was contacted, and an appointment was scheduled. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 3,200.

I was driving about 50 mph traveling from bethel, nc to canton, nc and was approaching canton so I was slowing down. The first traffic light was red so I stopped behind another car. When the light turned green I lightly pressed the accelerator and nothing happened, it was like the engine failed to power up. I looked at the instruments and noticed the transmission was stuck in 8th-gear. Suddenly it rolled down to 1st gear and the vehicle literally leaped across the intersection. Fortunately the car in front had moved out normally or the "leap" would have climbed his back. I have read of other Ford trucks with this 10-speed transmission sticking in 8th-gear when stopping. The hesitation starting into the intersection is dangerous and the sudden leap forward is very dangerous.
