2023 FORD F-150 HYBRID Complaints

The vehicle abruptly down shifted locking the rear tires when approaching a stop light. Safety: luckily no one was behind me that could of rear ended the vehicle. Will report issue to dealership.

A/C System stops blowing out of the vents. Blower motor can be heard operating but nothing comes out of vents. Issue is intermittent and happens randomly.

The air will not blow through the vents at certain times. This is A/C and defrost. It seems the lines freeze, or actuator is not working?

We were sitting in a friends driveway with car running but not moving. My daughter opened the rear passenger door and there was a loud noise. It sounded like a gunshot. We finally figured out the sunroof had burst. It had left a huge hole in the sunroof and glass was everywhere. There was no warning for this and i have not driven the vehicle since the incident. (2 weeks ago) Had we been moving and had my wife, 12 year old daughter and her friend in the car this could of put a lot of people in danger.

While backing out of a parking spot, the screen with the rearview camera froze. I was not aware the screen had frozen and continued to back up believing I was seeing what was behind me. Fortunately, there was no accident. The screen remained frozen until I stopped the vehicle and cycled the engine.

A/C stops blowing out any vent although you can hear the blower motor running. If car is off for 5 minutes, A/C resumes working for a short time, and then repeats above problem. cannot defrost windows or control any output of the A/C. My truck is new and has done this off and on since the second day I owned it.

The contact owns a 2023 Ford F-150. The contact stated that on several occasions the vehicle failed to start. The contact stated that the message "Stop Safely Now" was displayed. The vehicle was eventually started after waiting for approximately ten minutes to over one hour. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. No cause for the failure was found. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 2,000.

The truck initiated a "Stop Safely Now" alert and would not start. I was in a very bad neighborhood at the time and feared for my personal safety. I had to get out of the vehicle, walk away for 10 minutes where the key fob wasn't in contact with the truck, then tried 3 times to start the vehicle without success. I waited another 45 minutes outside in a dark and dangerous area before I finally was able to get the vehicle to start. This is the 4th time since purchasing the vehicle in May 2023 that this has happened. I've had it back to the dealer 3x to troubleshoot but they can find nothing, they've told me that it is a known issue at Ford but they have not received a fix yet. Ford owner forums provided guidance to "let it sit and then try again 10 minutes later". This didn't work in my event and again, my personal safety was at risk.
