2023 FORD F-150 Complaints

I recently took my truck to the dealer because I have been experiencing a clicking and rattling noise that I believe is coming from the drivetrain. The service adviser stated to me , "According to Ford , this is a normal condition and there is nothing to be fixed." The same problem/condition that I am experiencing is described in NHSTA Campaign ID 23V896000 which appears to be Ford Recall # 23S65. What should I do ?

I recently took my truck to the dealer to have it looked at because I have been consistently hearing a clicking and rattling noise coming from the drivetrain. The service adviser stated "According to Ford , this is a normal condition and there is nothing to be fixed." The same problem/condition that I am experiencing is described in a Ford Recall # S2365. This is NHTSA Campaign ID 23V896000. What should I do

- Component: Air conditioning system. - Safety: A/C failure in summer heat conditions over 90 degrees. - This a known Ford issue with thousands of complaints and not resolution. Ford does not want to repair issue. - Ford dealership - Symptoms: AC blower can be heard ramping up but no air is coming through the vents. ** This an on-going issue with Ford that they are failing to rectify. My 2023 Ford F-150 has less than 7k miles and the A/C has already stopped functioning. The compressor and A/C components are freezing up and not allowing air into the cabin. This is a safety issue when temperatures are in the 90's in the south. Ford has not taken responsibility and has failed to correct the problem. There are several blogs and complaint websites with consumers complaining about the same issues. Something must done. I made an appointment and Ford did not want to repair. Please take action and issue a recall.

About two blocks after leaving my house I made a right turn from a stop sign into a heavily traveled street. I completed the turn and while the truck was upshifting it got stick in a lower gear around 20 MPH in traffic and would not upshift causing the engine to rev around 5,500 RPM's. After a few taps on the accelerator pedal it finally shifted and I was able to resume to normal speed. The above situation could have resulted in an accident.

My truck is 3 days old and the ac and defrost keeps going out when driving down the road. No warnings and no codes. This is a known issue by ford on 2023 models and I demand that something is done!

The contact owns a 2023 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal became soft while attempting to stop the vehicle. The contact examined the vehicle and discovered that the brake fluid reservoir was empty, and the brake line fitting was not properly secured, causing brake fluid to leak from the brake lines. The brake line fitting was secured by the contact and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 3,000.

Instrument cluster complete failure. No speedometer, no adaptive cruise or lane centering indications.

My car should have been included in the recall to replace the heated steering wheel with this vehicle. Ford has decided that because they did not put a heating element in my steering wheel yet I got charged the $4000 for it and only got $140 credit. I do not think that is fair and should get it upgraded as the 2023 Ford F150 have except for my truck

After an hour or so of driving with the A/C on, it stops cooling and just blows hot air. The only remedy is to drive for 5-10 minutes without A/C and turn it back on. It will cool, but stop cooling after a shorter period of time. Truck had less than 2k miles when this happened and it was the first time using the A/C on a longer trip.

I was in the process of turning onto a two lane road when all of a sudden I heard an incredibly loud noise, much like speakers blowing out that seemed to be progressively getting louder. I remained calm. I tried to turn down volume on the speakers and it would not stop the loud sound. I put the truck in park and turned off the truck. That did not work so I turned it on and off again and the noise stopped. The volume was not working at all after this happened. I was completely confused because I didn't understand what happened or why. The sound was excruciating and fortunately when this happened I was able to safely put the truck in park and turn it on and off. If I were in traffic or driving that would probably not be possible. I can see this easily causing an accident if someone is in traffic and panics. I immediately called the dealer after this happened. They said they had not heard of this happening before. I presented them with this article I found in the WSJ - "Ford Confronts Strange, Ear-Piercing Static in F-150 Trucks, Drivers have complained to federal regulators of abnormal noise coming from the vehicle’s speakers", By Ryan Felton & Nora Eckert. This article states the noise was recorded so loud as to damage hearing. There are many complaints about this happening online as well and something should be done. This is without question a safety issue and there should be a mandatory recall.
