2023 FORD F-150 HYBRID Complaints

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.

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.

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.

Vehicle malfunctions at start-up. Will not turn on and displays "stop safely now" message. Has also thrown codes for low battery voltage that simply disappear. Vehicle malfunction at start-up does not throw code.

When starting truck so far 4 times in the first month of ownership it doesn’t start. No codes but dash displays full accessory mode and stop safely now. Tons of these trucks have same issue. Ford has no clue why or how to fix. Very unreliable

Entered vehicle and started my truck, and Immediately after a stop safely now along with full accessory power flash continuously. Along with the warnings I was unable to move my shifter as it was stuck on park the whole time. I turned off and restarted the vehicle 8-10 times over the course of 10-15 minutes which in the last try the messages went away and was finally able to put into drive and drive to work. I researched this issue and see a ton of other owners are having similar issues from this model.

Driving on highway at 70mph and sunroof on the vehicle "explodes/blows out". Glass shattered. No other vehicles ahead or over pass above. No outside object caused damage. The sound of the "explosion" caused me to brake severely and slow down, putting vehicles behind me at risk. Shattered glass also caused risk to drivers behind. The problem has been confirmed by dealer and component inspected by manufacturer.

The axel bolt sheered off of the rear passenger side of my vehicle. I only have 10K miles on the truck. This is a common problem among F150 Powerboosts w/ max tow package. This same flaw is found in Powerboosts from 21-23. Ford needs to recall!!! Check any F150 owners forum and you’ll see the same problem.

My F150 was purchased new and I have had it about 3 weeks. It has 1400 miles on it. Sunday afternoon April 30 2023 I could not start my f 150. There was a warning STOP SAFELY NOW and the car would not activate the engine, or disengage the parking brake. I turned everything off and waited a few minutes then tried to activate my f150 again. Again the car was bricked. The next morning May 1 at 8 am the car functioned and normally. I contacted a Ford dealer and was advised to make a service appointment. I did and took the F 150 in for service May 2 2023. It is now at a dealership for diagnostics. Had I been at 70 mph on teh interstate with a warning like STOP SAFELY NOW and then been stranded that could have been very hazardous.
