2022 Ford F-150: hesitation when accelerating

Filed Oct 29, 2026 · Fuel system · PA

I first experienced an issue on this truck in XXX while vacationing in [XXX]. While attempting to cross a 4 lane highway with a median, the truck almost stalled and .was almost T boned. Upon returning to [XXX] the vehicle was taken to my servicing dealer and diagnosed with a fuel pump issue which within a few days was determined in a recall. I have been in constant contact with Ford only to be told no fix is available at this time and to keep the fuel level above a half tank. This hesitation / stalling has occurred many times since this first occurrence. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My 2022 Ford F-150 has experienced intermittent delayed starting, uneven idle, and hesitation during acceleration. At times, the engine sounds and feels as though it may shut off. I began noticing these symptoms several months ago, and the most recent occurrence was approximately August 2026. I do not recall seeing any warning lamps or warning messages when these symptoms occurred. The vehicle has not yet been inspected or diagnosed by a Ford dealer or independent repair facility for these specific symptoms, and the cause has not been confirmed. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. I am concerned because my vehicle is affected by Ford Recall 25S75 / the federal safety agency Recall 25V455 involving potential fuel pump failure and loss of fuel pressure, which may result in poor engine performance and engine stalling. I am concerned that the symptoms I am experiencing could create a safety risk if the engine loses power or shuts off while driving.

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.
