2022 Ford F-150 Hybrid fuel system problems

Filed Oct 10, 2026 · Fuel system, Transmission · FL

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

My F150 will, on occasion, not accelerate when I am going slow and making a right turn. There are no fault lights, just the engine does nothing when I press the gas pedal. I coast to the intersection, apply the breaks, start the right turn, then press the accelerator to speed up. For about 6 seconds nothing happens (regardless of how hard I press the pedal), then the engine engages and the truck accelerates. I have mentioned this to my dealer several times, but they just keep explaining that they have not heard of the issue and they cannot replicate. I fear this may cause a serious accident if not resolved.

I just started the truck, put it in gear, and began driving slowly through the parking lot. The gas pedal was unresponsive—even when pressed all the way to the floor, the truck would not accelerate or move. This has happened multiple times, both while rolling slowly and sometimes from a complete stop. It occurs intermittently.

After driving home from work on 12/20/24 the truck was parked at ~10pm. At ~1AM on 12/21/24, I was alerted that the truck was on fire. I found the vehicle fully engulfed in the hood and cab area. There was no prior indication of a problem or issue. The truck was fully destroyed and my home and Jeep were damaged. My home was damaged and only saved because I brought my garden hose out and sprayed the house until the local FD arrived. The local Fire Investigator and the Insurance Fire investigator could it definitively identify how/why the truck caught fire and burned up.

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 sitting at a stop light/stop sign/a complete stop, the truck will switch to electric mode... after about five to seven seconds, the truck "jumps" -- if feels like you just got rear ended. Truck currently at the dealership with no known ETA on repair.
