Our truck is equipped with the B&O Unleashed sound system. One afternoon, upon starting the truck after completing a brief errand, an extremely loud POP sound occured, followed by terrible static and crackling from every speaker. The noises continued for several minutes, even after noticing the audio system was off and then also turning the truck itself off. The terrible noises simply continued. Although the sound eventually stopped, the truck now regularly makes two or three quieter popping sounds as the driver first approaches the truck; nearly every time. The sounds seem to come from the driver door's speaker. There is also faint crackling on occasion from the headrest speakers.

Deafening pulsing noise coming from all speakers , volume button did not turn it off. Shut truck and locked it and did not stop the noise. Unplugged battery and did not stop noise. After about 15 minutes it stopped. Got into truck and there was an electrical burning smell. I have recorded the noise on video. Big safety concern, if the noise happened while I was moving I might have crashed. My ears were ringing for awhile after the incident.

UNKNOWN MY 2021 FORD F-150 POWERBOOST HYBRID CAUGHT ON FIRE ON FEBRUARY 03, 2023. THE TRUCK WAS NOT RUNNING AND FORTUNATELY I HAD IT IN MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE I WAS HEADING OUT OF TOWN FOR THE WEEKEND. IT STARTED UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT. THE FIRE WAS SO INTENSE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO BE CALLED TO PUT IT OUT. IF THE TRUCK WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE GARAGE IT WOULD HAVE EASILY BURNED MY HOUSE DOWN. MY INSURANCE COMPANY SENT OUT A FIRE INVESTIGATOR AND HE CONCLUDED IT WAS DEFINITELY SOMETHING ELECTRICAL.

This problem has been ongoing, happening nonstop up to multiple times daily since Feb of 2022 and has spent now 70 days at the dealership in search of the issue. Luckily, the vehicle has not caused an incident yet, but I am afraid to drive it if I get it back from the dealer again as the issue has just gotten worse. The vehicle randomly while driving goes into a "limp mode" in which 1 of 2 things happens. 1) If unable to pull over immediately, the vehicle has very erratic throttle control and 2) the vehicle sometimes gives a warning about the "adavancetrack" system and will sometimes shift itself into neutral out of nowhere forcing you to coast to a stop no matter where or what type of street you are on. In researching this problem to help my dealer at first and now to try and protect myself while in a battle with ford, it seems to be a common problem discussed on many forums on the internet and facebook and seems quite common among the F-150 powerboost. Ford is refusing me a buyback at this time and ignoring the safety implications that my vehicle is having

On March 24, 2023, I got inside my 2021 Ford F-150 Power Boost King Ranch Truck, Turned it on. Heard a loud popping sound. Began to drive away. Then all of a sudden there was a loud static sound. The sound was so loud like someone turned the volume to MAX limit and I began trying to turn it off. The radio was not responsive. I started to panic because I had all these vehicles around me and could not think correctly. It was affecting my decision making and all I could think of is turning off my phone, pressing the Power On + Next Track button to hard reset radio , etc. Nothing worked. Loud static sound would stop. Radio wouldnt turn off. Next thing you know Im on the expressway trying to get off because obviously nothing worked. After around 20 minutes, I finally pulled over. Turned off my truck. Then turned it back on thinking it would have stopped. NOPE, sound was still on. Had to get to my destination and when I did. I lost some of my hearing. It was that BAD!!

Audio system malfunction that resulted in deafening random electronic noise levels that would not stop until the battery was disconnected for a long period of time. I started a thread online (link below) and there are numerous others with the issue. There are multiple videos showing the issue. Some have reported a burning smell so there could be a fire risk as well. (https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/dangerous-b-o-sound-system-issue.9254/) It really is loud enough to cause a crash and I believe it's just a matter of time if it hasn't already happened. My ears were ringing for several hours. To date Ford hasn't provided any resolution beyond just extending my factory warranty. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for a full week with no resolution - again, same as several others.

Complaint 1: Mar 14,2022 Manufacturer Recall Number22S12 NHTSA Recall Number22V-142 Parts for recall has not been made available yet, promised for 2nd quarter. We are not into 3rd quarter. How can Ford still produce new trucks if parts are not available to fix existing trucks on the road as it is a safety concern? Complaint 2: Error code P2C44 - requires replacement of Auxiliary Battery Insulator from Ford's internal doc SSM 50976. Was told part is also backed ordered for 45 days. Again how can Ford build new trucks if parts are not available! Please make them fix existing trucks on the road first before new trucks are built! What good are warranties when it takes months to fix.
