2022 Ford F-150 Lightning problems

“My 2022 F150 Powerboost has what I believe to be a design issue in the harness between the fuse box and the DC/DC converter. The truck was driving normally and then some messages started popping up on the screen that seemed to be related to the power system. We had to stop for some road work and when it was our time to go the truck died and put itself in park. Fortunately the road construction crew noticed we were having a problem and put cones around our truck so people wouldn't run into it. The road crew tried to jump it but was not able to get enough charge into the system to start the engine. We had a towing company take the truck to a shop in town. They replaced the under the hood battery and the one under the back seat. Unfortunately the 12V system continued to drain down. After charging the battery at the shop I was able to drive the truck home but surprisingly one of the systems that shuts down when the voltage drops is the power steering and without power steering the vehicle is very difficult to drive. The Ford dealer in Mount Airy Maryland updated the software but that didn't work. In the end the problem was found to be 4 very small gauge wires…”

“I experienced two wet-road skidding incidents in my 2022 Ford F-150 hybrid. In the first, I was stopped at a light before turning across a three-lane roadway. When I began turning after the light changed, the truck skidded about two lanes over and I lost control. After it appeared to level out, I gently tried to keep it in my lane. I do not know whether traction or stability control was off or whether I may have pressed a control button. The following Friday, after stopping at a red light, the truck began to skid when I released the brake. I was not flooring the accelerator. I reported the incidents to Ford of Clermont. Its [XXX] service record documents my report that the rear end skidded side to side toward another lane and that traction control seemed not to work. Ford’s [XXX] response attributed the wet-traction concern to aggressive mud-and-snow tires and reported rubbing at the steering stops. Its [XXX] invoice recommended replacing four tires and performing an alignment, but states neither was performed. Two independent repair facilities later identified transmission problems. I was told by personnel at the shops that the transmission concern could…”

“REVERSING LAMP does not work, rear brake lights flicker; dealer could not fix due to lack of parts, I have been waiting over a month still no parts to fix; recall is from OCT 29, 2025!”

“I started my 2022 F150 with B/O Audio and an extremely loud blast that sounded like a cannon shot out of the speakers. My volume dial didn't work and loud crackling and popping sounds were coming out of the tweeter speakers. This has been reported many times already. Turning the audio and the entire vehicle off did nothing. Crackling actually would continue when vehicle was turned all the way off for at least 2 minutes, which would indicate some power was still being fed to the speakers for some reason. No warning lamps/messages appeared.”

“Was stopped behind a car in line in the parking lot. The truck was in drive with the auto hold brake feature enabled. The auto hold disengaged and the car rolled forward rear ending the car in front of me. Collision alert didn't sound as expected. A similar recall came out August 6 for 2025 F150s.”

“Highway Incident: While traveling at highway speeds, a sudden evasive braking maneuver caused the truck to drop power. Upon attempting to re-accelerate, the throttle pedal went to the floor with zero response, and the vehicle continued to decelerate on an active highway. Multiple trailing vehicles had to make emergency maneuvers to swerve around the decelerating truck to avoid a high-speed, rear-end collision. Subsequent Incidents: The vehicle repeatedly forces an uncommanded speed limit of 11 mph while attempting to accelerate from a complete stop or merge from stop signs. This severe lack of predictable acceleration creates an immediate risk of being T-boned or rear-ended by cross-traffic, making the vehicle entirely unsafe to operate in normal traffic conditions. An authorized Ford dealership has confirmed the underlying failure of the hybrid system. They kept the vehicle for approximately one month to replace the entire hybrid drive unit. Following that repair, the vehicle was returned to the dealer a second time, where technicians confirmed a software communication failure between the electric and gas systems, attempting to resolve it by…”
