Truck only had 30,000 miles on it and started downshifting funny. One loud clunk from the rear end on one occasion. Kept driving it and let Ford know. Went to pull out from a stop sign and absolutely no throttle response. I could see the gauge on my dash going up but nothing from transmission moving the truck forward. Brought to Ford and they replace the hybrid drive unit. Got truck back still had same issue. Brought it back to Ford again and they replaced the valve body on the transmission. Got the vehicle back and still shifting erratically. Drop the truck off and they said it was a problem in the valve body communicating. Received the truck back and now I have a high-pitched wine coming from the transmission. Ford says they're looking into it truck has been at Ford for 51 days as of today

The transmission began having issues around 72,000 miles. It would shift extremely hard into 3rd gear whether down shifting or upshifting but only during the first few minutes of driving. Eventually it was both 3rd and 7th gear. It slowly kept degrading to the point where all shifts were extremely hard. It would also frequently get stuck in 10th gear even at a dead stop. It would randomly shift into neutral even at highway speeds and then slam back into a gear including as low as 5th gear at 75mph. Ultimately the transmission was replaced by a Ford dealer under extended warranty with a new, from the factory, 1080R after a 3 month wait.

I am reporting a concern about the engine-coolant condition in my 2022 Ford F-150 hybrid. During a September 1, 2026 inspection at Ford of Clermont, dealership personnel reportedly showed or described the coolant as black-brown or discolored and recommended coolant replacement. I recall the coolant appearing abnormal, but I have not received a written coolant test, laboratory analysis, technician diagnosis, or explanation establishing why it looked that way. I purchased the truck on July 18, 2026, with 39,647 miles. I did not modify the cooling system, engine, transmission, hybrid system, or related components after purchase. I have requested the September inspection findings, coolant test results, the recommended service and estimate, and records concerning the reported July 3 oil change and 176-point inspection. I have not received a complete written explanation reconciling the reported July service with the later coolant observation. I am concerned that the coolant’s reported appearance could indicate a cooling-system or powertrain problem requiring diagnosis. I do not know the cause. I have not established that coolant and transmission fluids mixed, that a heat exchanger failed, or that the coolant condition caused transmission damage. Separately, two independent repair shops identified transmission concerns. The September 18, 2026 Ricky G’s Transmission Repair document reports transmission chattering in reverse and gives an estimated repair total. Universal Tire and Auto’s September 11 record documents a transmission diagnostic and lists transmission removal and replacement as declined, not performed. Those records do not state that the coolant caused the transmission condition or that either condition caused the wet-road skidding incidents. I report these findings as separate powertrain concerns and ask the federal safety agency to consider whether a coordinated inspection is warranted. I also reported two wet-road skidding incidents to Ford of Clermont. I do not know whether

I am reporting a concern about the truck’s apparent fuel consumption and hybrid-system operation. I purchased the used 2022 Ford F-150 on [XXX], with 39,647 miles. The truck is identified in the independent repair-facility records as a 3.5-liter full hybrid electric-gas vehicle. I did not modify the engine, hybrid system, transmission, fuel system, tires, lift, wheels, suspension, or other relevant vehicle components after purchase. During my ownership, I perceived that the truck used substantially more fuel than expected. I reported to Ford of Clermont service adviser Alberto Caro that the electric-drive system appeared to engage constantly and that a 36-gallon fuel tank appeared to be used for a round trip to and from Ocala. I compared this experience with my prior Chevrolet, which I reported used approximately one-quarter of a tank for a similar trip. I understand that a comparison with a different vehicle does not, by itself, establish a defect, and that hybrid operation may involve frequent electric-motor engagement. My concern is the truck’s actual fuel consumption and whether the engine, hybrid system, transmission, fuel system, sensors, or related controls are operating properly. Ford personnel reportedly responded that I could not compare the Ford with another vehicle and that the hybrid system engages electric drive frequently. I have not received a written technical explanation, fuel-economy test, hybrid-system diagnostic report, or other documentation establishing whether the truck’s fuel consumption is within specification. Ford’s written September 2 response stated that the truck’s aggressive mud-and-snow tires could affect fuel economy and smooth driving. That statement does not resolve whether the truck’s actual fuel consumption is normal for this vehicle or whether the engine, hybrid system, transmission, fuel system, sensors, or control systems require testing. The truck also had an existing lift, tires, wheels, and suspension configurat INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORM

I experienced two wet-road skidding incidents in my 2022 Ford F-150 hybrid. In the first, I was stopped at a light before turning across a three-lane roadway. When I began turning after the light changed, the truck skidded about two lanes over and I lost control. After it appeared to level out, I gently tried to keep it in my lane. I do not know whether traction or stability control was off or whether I may have pressed a control button. The following Friday, after stopping at a red light, the truck began to skid when I released the brake. I was not flooring the accelerator. I reported the incidents to Ford of Clermont. Its [XXX] service record documents my report that the rear end skidded side to side toward another lane and that traction control seemed not to work. Ford’s [XXX] response attributed the wet-traction concern to aggressive mud-and-snow tires and reported rubbing at the steering stops. Its [XXX] invoice recommended replacing four tires and performing an alignment, but states neither was performed. Two independent repair facilities later identified transmission problems. I was told by personnel at the shops that the transmission concern could explain the skidding or loss of control. Universal Tire and Auto’s [XXX] record documents a transmission diagnostic and lists transmission removal and replacement as declined, not performed. Ricky G’s Transmission Repair’s [XXX] document records chattering in reverse, no codes at that time, a diagnostic charge, and an estimated repair. These documents record transmission findings and atributed that the transmission caused the wet-road incidents. The exact cause remains to be established. I found an the federal safety agency investigation report concerning unexpected transmission downshifts and rear-wheel lockup in certain 2015–2017 F-150s with a 6R80 transmission. My vehicle is a 2022 hybrid, and I do not know whether that investigation is relevant to my vehicle. I ask the federal safety agency to consider INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6

My 2022 F150 Powerboost has what I believe to be a design issue in the harness between the fuse box and the DC/DC converter. The truck was driving normally and then some messages started popping up on the screen that seemed to be related to the power system. We had to stop for some road work and when it was our time to go the truck died and put itself in park. Fortunately the road construction crew noticed we were having a problem and put cones around our truck so people wouldn't run into it. The road crew tried to jump it but was not able to get enough charge into the system to start the engine. We had a towing company take the truck to a shop in town. They replaced the under the hood battery and the one under the back seat. Unfortunately the 12V system continued to drain down. After charging the battery at the shop I was able to drive the truck home but surprisingly one of the systems that shuts down when the voltage drops is the power steering and without power steering the vehicle is very difficult to drive. The Ford dealer in Mount Airy Maryland updated the software but that didn't work. In the end the problem was found to be 4 very small gauge wires between the fuse box and DC/DC converter that had some corrosion on them. Once replaced the truck operates normally. It seems to me this is a design flaw in the system so I wanted to bring it to your attention. Without the DC/DC converter charging the 12V system the vehicle will shut off with little warning and can leave motorists in a dangerous situation.

I am reporting a safety-related transmission problem I'm experiencing with my 2022 Ford F-150 equipped with the 10R80 automatic transmission. While driving normally, the transmission suddenly shakes violently downshifting from 6th to 5th gear and during upshifting from 2nd to 3rd gear. This occurs every single time while accelerating or braking, only in different gears , creating a potentially dangerous situation because the truck did not respond as expected when I needed predictable acceleration or deceleration. I believe this incident may be related to the known 10R80 CDF clutch-cylinder/sleeve problem. Ford technical information identifies axial movement of the CDF sleeve that can cause hydraulic-circuit leaks and harsh or delayed engagement and shifting. This condition can result in slipping, RPM flares, delayed engagement, unexpected gear changes, harsh downshifts, lurching, or loss of propulsion. This is a safety concern, not merely a transmission quality or reliability issue. Unexpected loss of propulsion or unpredictable shifting while merging, accelerating into traffic, crossing an intersection, turning, or traveling at highway speed can create a collision hazard. Also because this violent shaking startles the driver (lot of times it feels like the truck was hit by another car) and can provoke dangerous breaking. This shaking started in April and has not stopped ever since. Because I'm personally experiencing these unexpected transmission events, as well as my wife, I request that the federal safety agency investigate the 10R80 CDF clutch-cylinder/sleeve condition in Ford F-150s. Please review Ford warranty claims, dealer repair records, transmission replacements, consumer complaints, and field-failure data to determine whether this is a safety defect requiring a recall. I believe owners should not have to wait for a potentially dangerous transmission failure before this known condition is addressed.

Horn stopped working unexpectedly. Took it to my mechanic who pulled the horn for replacement. The one in the truck had literally melted, luckily not causing a fire.
