general problems of the 2024 Ford F-150 - part 2

Full gauge cluster screen flickering every once in a while.

Every day at random when I drive to work I notice in what seems milliseconds that the digital gauge cluster screen will shut off and back on almost instantly, but slow enough that I notice it. It is always random and I have no way of replicating it. I noticed it after about 2,000 miles on this brand new truck.

Today while driving, my instrument cluster that houses my speed, range, and drivers assistance information went black. I looked up the issue and I am not the only one with this issue. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

My 2024 Ford F-150 raptor v6, a brand-new vehicle purchased on [xxx], has accumulated 767 miles. On the evening of [xxx] in orange county, California, while driving on the freeway at approximately 75 miles per hour, I experienced an unexpected issue. Everything appeared normal, and there were no warning lights on the instrument cluster indicating any problems with the truck. However, a few miles before exiting the freeway, I received a message through the Ford pass app, accompanied by a warning on the instrument cluster that read, “drivetrain malfunction, reduced power. ” despite the warning, I continued driving cautiously until I reached my home. Upon pulling into my driveway, I scanned my vehicle for error codes, which revealed the following: p0929-77 gear shift lock solenoid/actuator circuit "a" range/performance u211b-87 control module message authentication b1578-89 digital park assist camera vision system u023a-00 lost communication with image processing module a u0415-00 invalid data received from anti-lock brake system (abs) control module "a" u102f-00 invalid internal control module monitoring data received from all wheel drive control module the code that triggered the check engine light, as indicated by my vehicle’s scanning app, is p0929-77. On December 31st, I took the vehicle to caruso Ford in long beach, California, for diagnosis. Unfortunately, caruso Ford is currently unable to pinpoint the fault. The tech who examined my vehicle believes it’s an electrical issue rather than mechanical. I hope to receive an update on my vehicle by Tuesday, January 7th. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Anti lock brake fault and disabled hill start assist failure collision waring system failure all of these occurred while driving. Luckily I was able to move the vehicle of the road and was able to avoid any accidents.

The electronic dash flickers black. It comes back on but it is distracting while driving as it draws my attention to the dash instead of the road. I have took it to the dealership with no investigation because it does not happen with their test drive while in their possession. There is no TSB for this issue per the dealership. There should be some investigation as they could look for a loose cable or inquire with the manufacture of the component through Ford. Something is defective. . .

Undetermined what part failed I believe maybe an update. The truck lost all power and began to shift to neutral position at 40 mph on the highway. I was forced to get on the axis road. At 5mph the truck shifted violently to park. Dealership is working on it. The event was recorded on video and pictures. Wrench light showing.

The item currently malfunctioning is the instrument cluster and infotainment display of the vehicle. While driving, the instrument cluster and infotainment display intermittently flashes on and off while the vehicle is in motion, resulting in the speed and other information to disappear while moving. Dealer has not been able to replicate the issue due to it being intermittent. The component was inspected by the dealer but root cause unable to be determined as issue was not able to be replicated. The vehicle is not displaying any warning lights, messages, or dtcs. After some searching online, multiple people are experiencing similar issues with the instrument cluster flickering with driving.

Not 5 minutes ago I reported an issue to NHTSA regarding a 2024 Ford F-150 v6 raptor. Just as I was submitting the form, I got an alert that remote features are disabled to preserve battery. The error texted to my phone states: “don't worry though, nothing is wrong. This happens automatically when you haven't started your vehicle for a period of time. ” I am not understanding why an error related to not driving recently would appear, I just drove about 70 miles round trip and have been home less than 30 minutes.
