My engine failed do to faulty valves at 42000 miles. A check engine light came on and I took it to nearest ford dealership for repairs. It was originally missed diagnosed with faulty ignition coil on number 5 cylinder back in November 2023. Since then it has been determined to have issue mentioned above. They say they will need to replace entire engine. Not happy with this but what can an owner do. I have seen this has been common in other similar vehicles. Has ford found and fixed the problem or will this again happen with the new engine they put in?
Vehicle's engine will not start. When attempting to start, it will turn on all usual electrical components, but will immediately show an warning message to "Stop Safely Now" along with an engine light of a red outlined truck with exclamation mark. Followed by a message of accessory mode on, however the engine will not start with no access to power steering or shifting gears. Normal attempts to jump start or charge the battery will not work. All fuses and harness connections appear to be normal. After researching Ford community forums, this appears to be a common complaint in the Powerboost Hybrid 2021-2022 Ford F-150s. Extremely inconvenient as this situation has left us stranded several hours from home with no reasonable solution other than to tow to a dealership. We hope our message helps encourage Ford Motor to continue researching the issue and come with a reasonable solution for all effected.

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.
Vehicle will not start. Get "Stop safely now" message. It is 16 degrees outside. What if this had happened while I was out. This would be a life threatening problem. This appears to be a known issue, but Ford has not fixed it. There are hundreds of reports on various forums of the same problem.
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.
I had warranty work done on a trailer brake module on October 23, 2023. About 3 weeks after that it seemed like my transmission was a little rough. Then Nov. 6, I had several incidences where I was at a stop, and it felt like someone hit me from behind and lurch my truck forward a little bit. It seems very dangerous. In case someone in a crosswalk is walking in front of me I could possibly hit them up. My Ford diagnostic tells me that it is the electric transmission fluid pump. There was no warning no lights lit up on my dashboard warning me that this would happened. After I started the motor the next morning, the check engine light came on. The next day I drove it for a short time around the block and the check engine light was not on. I drove it straight to the dealership and made an appointment to take it in. I have read several articles and forums complaining about the exact same thing recently. It seems as if there should be a recall on this issue. Another issue since I-??ve had the truck brand new in July 2023 is it always skipped second gear which kind of makes it a little rough starting off.

The heat exchanger on my truck is faulty per the serve department at Balise Ford of Wilbraham. I had a check engine light coming on intermittently starting in October of 2022. In late December, the check engine came on steady. I made an appointment with Balise to have it checked out as well as to have other recall issues resolved. They inspected the truck and found the heat exchanger was faulty and would have to be replaced. They ordered the part. In April, the part finally came in and I brought the truck in to get it sorted out. A couple days later when I went to pick up the truck, I found out that the wrong part had come in and that the repair would have to be done when the proper part came in. They told me at the time that it could take a month or so to arrive. It's been 2 months since that time and the part still isn't available and I'm told that Ford is planning on shipping 72 units nationwide around June 30th. It doesn't appear that I'm high enough on the list to get one of these parts when they become available. This is now over 6 months I've been waiting for the part. The issues are 2 fold, 1st, I don't know if any sort of damage is being done to the engine due to this issue. There is something overheating in the system. I drive 65 miles to work each way and some days I have to pull over 3 and 4 times to let the heat exchanger cool down. The engine temperature shows as normal, but I get an alert on my dash that tells me that the engine is going into low power mode due to overheating and it's not possible to maintain highway speeds and creates a situation where I need to get over to side of the road quickly since I can't maintain pace. I never know when this will happen. The second issue is that I live in Massachusetts, my truck has to pass a safety inspection. It won't pass with a check engine light on. Once rejected, I have 50 days to get it repaired. After that time, I legally cannot drive the vehicle.

This past week, I was sitting at a red light with my foot on the brake (not the gas) and all of sudden, my truck slammed into gear hard enough that I thought I was rear ended. I actually had to look to see if a car did hit me. This happened to me twice this week. Also, several times this week, I was just letting go of the brake and the car slammed into gear, jolting the car as well. just letting go of the brake, the car jolted as well without pressing on the gas. It wasn-??t a smooth transition from letting go of the brake to pressing on the gas.

After purchasing the truck new I drove it for four days and it started to leak coolant from under the middle of the truck. The truck had less then 200 miles on it and it already needed service. Once I looked up 2022 Ford F-150 Power Boost coolant leak I found out there are a lot of people experiencing the same issues. I did not know these trucks were having problems otherwise I would not have purchased this truck. If I would have not realized the coolant was leaking the truck would have overheated. After taking it to the dealer they said that exhaust pipe extension was bad and leaking. They informed me that limited parts were available and there was only three in Texas. The Ford dealer ordered the parts 6/30/22 and they still have not shipped as of today 7/7/22. They don-??t seem to have any urgency to repair my brand new truck. I have heard some people waiting 10 weeks or more for parts which is a ridiculous for a brand new truck. I feel like there should be a recall on this particular truck if it-??s such a common problem. I am lucky that I didn-??t attempt to take this truck on a family vacation because we would have been stuck somewhere.
