2022 Ford F-150 transmission complaints
Page 6 of 7: complaints 131 to 160 of 164, newest first, as owners wrote them.
As vehicle is downshifting there is sometimes a slight jerking or hard jerking associated when doing so. This happens a lot also when letting up off of the accelerator or slightly riding the accelerator for example is slow moving traffic. This is a significant jerking, not a smooth jerking when switching gears.
While leaving a parking garage the transmission violently jerked out of gears pulling te steering wheel and no longer driving the rear driveline so the vehicle could no longer accelerate up the ramp. Vehicle behind me almost rear ended me. The transmission was hunting erratically between gear as seen by the indicator gears, 1st to 2nd to 8th to 10th to 4th rapidly and began to smell significantly. The only way to pull forward off the ramp was to engage 4WD Hi. No warning lights. Dealer tried to state potentially low battery voltage but the vehicle continues to exhibit surging shifts both upshifts and down shifts.
While coasting to an upcoming stop downhill, on slightly graded slope, speed within 15mph or less, with brake slightly applied; the Automatic Parking Brake engaged on its own, subsequently resulting in the transmission shifting of drive modes to park automatically. The vehicle came to an instant, unexpected stop, while still maintaining a speed around 5mph on its own. The vehicle locked up mid-line-of-traffic, leaving the potential of a rear-end collision by following vehicle. No known damage to transmission or powertrain resulted. Adverse weather/road conditions did not play a factor at the time of incident. Incident has occurred multiple times prior, during similar environment & circumstance.
The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal depressed the floorboard but failed to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. As a result, the contact collided with the rear of two vehicles ahead. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was not filed, and no injuries were reported. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact also stated that sometime later, while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, a message displayed reading "Full Accessory Power Active," after which the vehicle inadvertently lost all motive power. The contact's wife was able to coast to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle was able to restart. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle returned to normal functionality. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 9,000.
While driving down the highway, my 2022 Ford F-150 Tremor randomly caught on fire. I was driving down the highway and was flagged down by other drivers to let me know the bottom of the truck was on fire. I pulled over and luckily someone had a fire extinguisher and we were able to get the fire under control. The fire department was also called and they also helped put out the fire after their arrival. The truck has always been serviced at a Ford dealer and had gone in for an oil change less than 350 miles prior to the truck catching fire.

Costco took off rear right wheel and axle bolt fell off.
The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving 10 MPH, he heard an abnormal sound coming from the rear wheels. The contact then parked the vehicle in the driveway. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the rear axle bolts had loosened independently. The dealer tightened the bolts; however, the failure recurred while driving to the residence. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer the following day. The dealer tightened the bolts and applied a thread-locking compound; however, the failure recurred after driving 500 miles. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 23V896000 (Power Train). The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.
For lighting, model came with the quad beam and headlight would often malfunction leaving headlights stuck in the low position and high beams not usable. For power train, the 10 speed would cause sharp jolts and shifts that is not normal for regular driving. Very abrupt jolts that make operating vehicle unsafe to drive in traffic. Vehicle began experiencing these symptoms around 25k miles and dealership mentions these issues aren’t a big problem.
Shifting gears is very hard with it often skipping over gears. When driving the vehicle will jerk or buckle when trying to shift. Transmission is the biggest issue with this vehicle and I seem to have a hard time getting Ford to recognize that.
Took the vehicle in for a oil change and tire rotation at Southgate Ford in Southgate Michigan. When they pulled off a rear wheel for rotation, the head of the axle bolt fell off. Technician and Service advisor said it was a know issue. Car has to be kept because it is unsafe to drive until fixed.

a few months after purchased, I went to a shop to rotate tires for first time. Upon removing the rear passenger tire, the mechanic was shocked to see the axle bolt sheared off and lying inside the hub. Ford said not to drive it, and they picked it up for warranty service. They replaced the rear axle. A year later, I noticed a black greasy substance on the same rim. Went to Ford, and the axle bolt had broken again. This time it had apparently been off for some time. They replaced the axle, brake rotor, and both sets of rear brake shows, as the wobbly wear had ruined the brakes. A month later, I am now noticing that black greasy substance again on the same rim. My power train warranty is out at 60k miles, and I feel that I have a vehicle that is going to ruin an axle every 15-20k miles and be a serious danger to my family should the tire come loose in motion. There are other issues with the truck that are less dangerous such as intermittent black out of the GPS screen, but those do not have the consequences I fear from the breaking axle.
Bolt broke on passenger side rear axle shaft. Bolt retains drive axle shaft into drive wheel. Dealer replaced passenger axle on Nov. 9, 2022 but not driver side. No warning lamp. There was a squeak from axle. This truck has a "Max trailer tow package". I was towing a 6,000 lbs trailer which is within specs. for this truck.
The contact owned a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at 35 MPH, the accelerator pedal suddenly traveled to the floorboard, and the vehicle accelerated on its own. As a result, the contact lost control of the vehicle and came to a complete stop after colliding with a tree. The contact also stated that the failure had occurred four times prior to the collision, with multiple incidents resulting in property damage. The air bags did deploy. A police report was filed, and injuries were reported. The contact was transported to an area hospital by EMT and treated for a cut on his left wrist. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and deemed a total loss. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the federal safety agency hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 1,500.
Rear axle bolt sheared off.
Left side axle bolt sheard off while under normal driving conditions.
While merging onto a freeway from the on-ramp into traffic, the transmission has trouble shifting and getting up to speed i’ve only owned it a month now and haven’t had it serviced yet, but it most definitely is a problem.
There is a bolt on the rear axle shaft that hold on the hub. The one on my right rear axle sheared off. I have discovered by online research that this has been an issue with the HD Towing a le on this model truck.
I recently took a trip home to Pennsylvania (I live in Alabama) to visit family. A few days into my trip I noticed a rattle sound coming from my rear passenger side wheel. It was only noticeable at low speeds but it sounded like the wheel hub may have been lose or perhaps a stone had made it inside the center hub. I take immaculate care of my vehicle and it is still under the manufacturer new vehicle warranty. Upon further inspection, I removed the wheel hub and noticed that the axle spline bolt had sheered off with the washer and was actually rolling around like a wash machine inside the hub. At high speeds the centrifugal force was enough to keep the bolt against the outer wall of the wheel hub. When slowing down the force was no longer great enough and the bolt would fall down and then tumble around as the speed went down. I was supposed to leave for home at 3am, but now due to this issue, the vehicle is not safe to drive. Ford has not offered a solution other than to let the local dealer look at it (700 miles from home). They have verbally told me they will reimburse a rental car and get my truck shipped home to me after the repair, but none of this has been made in writing. This is a known issue for Ford. There are hundreds of documented cases online and my local selling dealer in Alabama knew of the issue when I called to report it. They have had 4 cases recently of the same issue. Ford MUST issue a recall IMMEDIATELY! This is a major safety issue and could cause the axle to "fall out" of the wheel hub at speed and could cause a major accident and almost certain death if this were to occur at high speeds.
First I heard a rattling sound coming from the back .Tough it was something in the bed. Finally went away 3 days later. To realise I lost the wheel center cap on driver side. 2 weeks later while checking to order a new center cap, I notice the center bolt thats supposed to retain the axle has been broken flat and is completely missing. This can cause the axle to drive itself into the differential housing and eventually lead to no powertrain and/or locking the wheel. This bolt also put the preload on the bearing and therefore be dangerous to loose the wheel if not noticed soon enough and cause bearing to wear prematurely or even split apart. Called the local ford dealer as soon as I noticed and they told me to not use the truck if possible and If I had to to not put any load on the back since they didnt have a replacement truck for now and it could be dangerous. Had to drive 2 other weeks before getting a temporary one since it is the truck I gain my money with, knowing that any moment I could loose my wheel on the highway. They finally had to replace the axle and put new bolt in under warranty. This seems to be a recurring problem from what I see on the internet. Truck had about 15 000 kms when it happened. I am afraid this will happen again on either side since this problem seems to be reoccuring even to truck that had them changed. Please do something about this, ford seems to have no real fix for this and just changes the parts and hope for the best when it happens.
Experienced multiple incidents where the vehicle battery has been either damaged by the vehicle itself or receiving multiple defective OEM batteries. Vehicle has been brought into Ford service centers at least twice for low charge on battery. Each time, the Ford service technicians have identified a "dead cell" in OEM battery. This condition makes the vehicle unsafe to drive. The resulting low charge has resulted in erratic/unpredictable transmission/engine/electronics performance while driving. This includes low power, shifting problems, and start-stall-start "lurching" in various driving conditions. Service centers have never identified the cause of the battery drain (alternator checks ok). They just keep replacing the battery and the problem reoccurs 2-3 months later.
The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle downshifted from 10th gear to 3rd gear. The vehicle slid across the roadway. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and the contact was informed that the vehicle could be driven in low gear; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission seized in 1st gear. The vehicle was towed to Village Motors, Inc. (784 Wooster Rd, Millersburg, OH 4465) but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred him to the local dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 10,703. The contact stated that the dealer was unable to do anything for the vehicle because the issue could not be replicated nor did the dash show any codes. But finally the contact was able to provide proof of the failure to the dealer. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer have a solution to this issue.
Axle bolts sheared off on both driver and passenger sides. Problem was discovered during tire rotation.
Any 2021 f150 or newer with the max tow package has faulty rear axle shaft bolts that are installed from the factory. These bolts shear off within the first 10k of driving and ford has yet to issue a recall for this. A sheared off axle shaft bolt can cause a failure in the rear differential or a wheel to fall off potentially causing an accident. There are many reports of this failure all over the internet. Just google "2021 f150 axle shaft bolt sheared off" for more examples like the one I am submitting
Shortly after taking delivery of my brand new F150, I noticed a substantial grinding sound and vibration intermittently presenting at both high and low speeds, with no change when shifting gears or slowing down. No warning lights were activated. All instances appeared to occur during below freezing temperatures. I immediately brought to our local Ford dealer who believes the vehicle is partially engaging the four wheel drive system in error. They have reported this to Ford and advises there is no known diagnoses or solution.
The 2022 Ford F-150 trucks are all having rust issues on the drivetrain and suspension parts. The Ford dealer has admitted there is a huge problem. It seems Ford has eliminated a coating on these parts which has allowed rust to develop even before they leave the factory. I took my truck to a local dealer and he refused to fix it under warranty. By checking the online forums you will see this is a huge problem. Rust does not fix itself. Over time it is very possible these parts will fail. I went online with a Ford customer service representative and was told someone would contact me the next day. That has been three weeks, no contact. I first noticed my rust issues a week after I took delivery of the vehicle
1150 miles on 2022 Ford F-150 super cab 5.0 4x4 10 speed auto the transmission went into a shuddering at 48 mph in 9th gear on level road light acceleration happened the next day also same condition. Also t he e truck lurches forward at times when coming to a stop and shifting out of 3rd gear it jumps need to make sure your not close to anything also when parking put truck in park and it jumped forward
Rear axle bolts on max tow package 9.75 axle sheared off of both ends. Second one resulting in axle fluid to leak out of the end, requiring entire axle replacement.
