2023 FORD F-150 Complaints

Air conditioning goes out when on low and fan blowing. Heat was overbearing as I am in the south and had to stop for fear of heat exhaustion.

This is a bran new vehicle. Power train failure indicated on screen. The transmission started jacking off leaving me with no acceleration. The truck was put in the dealership shop and repair. I picked it up about 4 weeks later. Drove it about 20 miles and the same thing happened again twice with in the 20 miles I drove. It’s back in the dealership shop been there about 3 weeks wanting on different parts then the first time they repaired it with.

When coming to a stop, say a stop light or stop sign, after a few seconds at a complete stop, the vehicle lurches violently forward. First time it happened, I thought I was rear ended, but no one was behind me. According tho hundreds of posts on www.f150gen14.com, it seems to be a known issue with the Auxiliary Transmission Oil pump, but dealerships are not acknowledging the issue or claiming it's a non-warranty issue. Regardless of that, the safety concern is the vehicle lurching into traffic, pedestrian, car in front, etc.

At 300 miles, air conditioner lines froze up. Took to dealer; wouldn't fix it. At 700 miles, air conditioner lines froze up again. In 100+ temps outside, this is a safety issue the dealer refuses to fix.

HVAC airflow gradually goes to zero when demanding air conditioning on days > 80F. Air conditioner lines will develop a thick layer of ice prior to experiencing no air flow. The remedy is to turn off the AC and keep fan on MAX. As the system warms airflow gradually returns. Ice buildup is the culprit as after performing the remedy a large amount of condensate is discharged underneath the vehicle.

While driving at approximately 45 mph my parking brake warning light and message on the instrument panel cluster came on, on several occasions. I also recently experienced an unintended activation of the electric parking brake while driving.

The center console lid (work surface style console lid), continues to fall closed due to the springs not being strong enough to support the weight of the lid in the open/up position. If you are not paying attention or holding the lid open/up, it will slam close/down without warning. Since the lid is open, you can assume the inside of the console is being accessed, thus the lid slams closed on hands/fingers. It is bad enough for adults, but is extremely dangerous to the small hands of children. I have reported the issue to my local Ford Dealership and to Ford Corporate. Currently there are no recalls or solutions to the issue. A quick search of the internet, shows how big an issue this is on the Ford F-150's

When I tried to start the truck, the dash showed messages saying “stop safely now” and “ full accessory mode” but would not start. Truck also enters deep sleep mode daily even with a long commute to charge battery. I got the truck started via the Ford Pass app.

Upon the first drive of a '23 Raptor, within 20 miles of driving the TPMS sensor warning lights up on the dash. This immediately caused a loss of data (no PSI data) on at least 2 tires shown on the truck's dash display. There is a loss of data on the FORD app also that corresponds with the dash display. This will only reset after the truck is off and parked for a reasonable amount of time. This occurs EVERY trip in excess of 20 miles. In the Ford Raptor Forums it appears this issue is persistent anywhere from 17-30 miles into a trip. This issue/error prevents the safe operation if it is unknown whether tire pressure is low, or there is another issue at hand. The truck has been at FORD at least 4 times in order to assess the problem. From "resetting" the system, replacing the ECU, replacing additional electrical components and still having the same issue. The issue has been replicated at the dealer level - hence the numerous attempts at a fix as mentioned above. Apparently a work-around is shielding the Pro-Power - the power chord is causing interference with the truck's electrical system. This problem is persistent with numerous 2023 F-150 Raptors, and it appears to correct itself TEMPORARILY if you turn off the Pro-Power...which of course turns off numerous electrical outlets in the truck. Again, this issue prevents the safe operation of the truck - the sensor is set off during every drive, and although its apparently caused by RF interference, we have no way of knowing if there is an actual anomaly in the TPMS system. Will it read correct if a tire is dangerously low - is unknown whether tire pressure is low, or there is another issue at hand. Is the Pro-power affecting RFI in other electrical/safety components???

Brand new truck with less than 500 miles on the odometer and now having issues with the auxiliary transmission pump which is responsible for switching between the hybrid system (engine to battery and vice versa). The issue with this is that is also makes the vehicle lurch forward as if it was rear ended, with the potential to hit something in front as a result. I left the vehicle with the dealer on Tuesday (7/25) and was just told on Thursday (7/27) that it would take a month before the vehicle can see their transmission department and that it would need to stay with them for the entire duration. I am now out of a vehicle I've owned for 2 weeks for the next month, and realistically even more time as once diagnosis occurs then more waiting is needed for parts/repair.
