The contact owned a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the low turbo boost and the reduced engine power warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that he pulled over into a gas station to turn off the vehicle. After restarting the vehicle, the warning lights were no longer illuminated. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that the VIN was not under a recall. The contact then stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH with a 16-foot trailer attached, there was burning rubber and plastic odor before flames were seen coming from underneath the vehicle. After the contact and his family exited the vehicle and moved away, there were flames seen coming from the driver and front passenger wheel wells and underneath the hood. No warning lights were illuminated. There were only minor scratches and no medical attention was required. The police were on the scene and the fire department extinguished the flames. A report was only filed with the fire department. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact's insurance sent an investigator and the vehicle was deemed totaled. The contact was informed that they would be sending another investigator to confirm the cause of the fire. The approximate failure mileage was 5,500.

Just as I left the driveway at my house, I heard what sounded like an explosion and shattering glass. My truck stereo had incredibly loud static that hurt my ears. The volume knob stopped responding and I could not make the sound stop. I turned off my ignition and then opened the driver’s door. That stopped the sound. As soon as I turned on the truck again, the noise resumed. I was only able to stop the sound by changing the input from CarPlay to FM radio. Had this happened outside of my neighborhood, I could have been involved in a crash because the sound was so loud and disorienting. The stereo would not turn off at all. I am making a service appointment to have the truck looked at. Other F150 owners have indicated dealerships have been unable to duplicate/solve this issue. There were no warnings or error messages.

According to the dealer, Covert Ford in Austin, TX. A bolt on the rear axle holding the brakes to the rear axle is brittle and prone to failure. This bolt has sheared on my truck with just 10, 739.9 miles on it. The dealer says they cannot release the truck as the rear axle is damaged and the truck is un-driveable. The parts are not currently available to address the issue.

Upon starting the vehicle an extremely loud and disorienting static popping noise started to come from every speaker in the vehicle at seemingly full volume with no way to make it stop or turn the volume down. Many attempts were made to get the sound to stop including turning the vehicle and entertainment system off, but the sound could not be stopped. I was forced to take a different vehicle and when I returned the sound had stopped. The dealership claims that nothing can be done because it is not currently producing the sound. I fear for my pregnant wife, and in the future, my childs hearing. I have a video I took during the event with the intention of showing the dealer, as well as a home security camera video if needed.

At startup the stereo system (my truck has the B&O unleashed option) made a very loud electrical static and buzzing sound. This came from every speaker at max volume. Attempts to make the noise stop were unsuccessful, including trying to select multiple audio inputs and turning down the volume. It just kept blasting the static and loud popping noises at max volume. There was no way to make the sound stop without removing the sound system fuse under the hood. It was physically painful to both me and my passenger, and left our ears ringing for days. The dealership does not acknowledge that anything is wrong. Online forums show that this is a reoccurring problem, with dozens of individuals posting The same complaint. Ford has not acknowledged its existence, but this is a safety hazard as it can cause serious hearing damage.

When I got into my truck and pressed the start button, there was an extremely loud popping noise that appeared to be coming from the sound system. It was so loud that it caused ringing in my ears. I immediately attempted to shut off the truck, but the noise continued. I opened the door to exit the vehicle, and the loudest noises stopped, but a static sound remained. I got out, shut the door, and locked and unlocked the vehicle several times before the noises stopped. It has now happened to me on two separate occasions. Rear speakers now sound like they're blown and have a terrible rattle. I contacted my dealer, Bluebonnet Forn in New Braunfels Texas, and was told that there have been numerous reports of this type o event but they have no idea what s causing it and it'll take them 4-5 days before they can even look at my truck.

This has happened twice to me. The latest was about 7 days ago. There was a loud popping and static sound when driving my vehicle so loud that I had to exit the truck and my neighbors came and asked if I was ok because it was so loud. I couldn't get it to stop by shutting things off. Talked to my sales guy and he suggested I disconnect the negative cable to the battery for 30 min or more, but there needs to be some sort of fix for this as it is a larger issue. It is undriveable when it happens and I likely would have crashed if I was on the highway. Ford is very slow with any response and the dealership can't do anything until they issue a TSB.
