At times will go out to start truck after it has been running for a while and will not start. Push start button and will not do anything. I had to wait for a least 2 hours before it would start again. I have read on internet that this has happened to several people. It could be very dangerous at night if this happened in some places. This problem doesn't happen very often but does happen. The truck acts like a dead battery this is the Power Boost model. I was told per dealer let it sit for a while and should start.

Truck wouldn’t start (2000 miles). Dashboard had a “stop safety now” warning light as well as the check engine and battery lights on. All other electronics seemed to be working normally. After sitting all night, truck started normally and drove normally.

I started the truck and safety systems all shut down: BLIS, Lane Keeping, Reverse Sensing, Advance Track, Rear Cross, Forward Collision...everything failed. It even turned my steering wheel to the right so it was not straight. I drove for about three miles, while stopped at a light a message said something about steering calibration and it straightened my steeling wheel to be back where is was supposed to be. The safety system shutdown has happened on three different dates.

Shortly after starting my vehicle and while still in the driveway the audio system blasted static at an unbearable volume. Had I been driving and not parked it was so loud and shocking that it could have caused an accident. I called the dealer but the technician was unable to advise what to do. I had purchased the vehicle just the day prior. There were no warnings or indications prior to the audio blast.

1. My 2023 Ford F-150 Powerboost Hybrid is receiving the Stop Safely Now message. The vehicle has failed to start on a few occasions. 2. The vehicle not starting left me in a position where the vehicle was inoperable. This is a safety concern because is would put me or my family in potential danger from the elements, inability to receive health care and potential danger from individuals of I’ll intent. 3. Yes. 4. Unknown. 5. Unknown. Although I received low voltage messages, I had no idea what that meant. The Ford app simply told me to drive the vehicle to charge the battery. I drive the truck daily.

Electrical System

I am consistently getting an error message to stop safely now and the vehicle will not start. It is a known issue with Ford and they have promised a fix later this year. The vehicle has left my family stranded for hours at a time, with one instance in a medical emergency.

My truck is less than 1 month old and less than 1,000 miles. On two separate occasions, when attempting to start the ignition the engine will not start. A "Stop Safely Now" message appears on the dashboard, and the truck will power on the accessories only. Now matter how many attempts to turn on the ignition, the truck will not turn on. This leaves you completely stranded wherever you are. You do not know when this SSN message will occur, and can be a serious safety issue if being left stranded somewhere. There were no messages, codes, or other issues reported from the truck prior to this. The battery was checked and is sufficient. This is a problem with the powerboost hybrid engine in the Ford F150.

On 5/10/2023, at around 2 PM, when trying to start my truck after turning off in parking for about 2 hours. The truck won't be able to start with the "Stop Safely Now" warning. Tried all sorts of methods, jumping cable, jump pack, etc, it won't start. After calling Ford Road Side Assisstant, the mechenic was able to jump start it. On 5/24/2023, the truck won't start with the "Stop Safely Now" warning. This time, was able to start it after a few minutes of trying to start it remotely with Fordpass app. Took truck to the dealer, and the dealer had no idea how to fix the issue, which can happen randomly.

2023 Ford F-150 PowerBoost not starting VIN [XXX] 2475.8 KM Not sure whom to report this to, but Last night, May 22, 2023 stopped the truck to go to a meeting. When we left the meeting, at just after 8:30 PM and went to start the truck, it came up with a "Stop Safely Now" message on the screen, followed by a "Full Accessory Power Active", but the truck did not come up to the ready screen and the start stop button just kept on flashing a green light. Truck would shift from 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive, emergency brake would engage and disengage but could not shift gears out of park. Tried getting out of the truck, relocking it, then re-entering it, and redid the start sequence, still no ability to drive. Called Roadside assistance and was advised that no assistance was available at this time and to call back after 8:00 AM and that they would arrange for a tow truck to come try and jump start the truck and if that did not work it would tow us to a dealer at that time. We attempted to jump start the truck with a friends vehicle, still no change, so we locked up the truck and hitched a ride home with our friend, who lives the complete opposite direction from us. This morning hitched a ride back to where the truck was left, it opened and started normally. Secondary issue is that the navigation screen on start up will often take a long time trying to load the map, if I switch to phone or other screen then back to navigation the map loads immediately, also the screen displayed a couple of solid colour views the other day then went back to a normal screen. Not sure if any of these are related problems or not. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
