2022 Ford F-150 Recalls, Ratings & Complaints

Incident: June 20, 2025 · Filed: October 29, 2026

I first experienced an issue on this truck in XXX while vacationing in [XXX]. While attempting to cross a 4 lane highway with a median, the truck almost stalled and .was almost T boned. Upon returning to [XXX] the vehicle was taken to my servicing dealer and diagnosed with a fuel pump issue which within a few days was determined in a recall. I have been in constant contact with Ford only to be told no fix is available at this time and to keep the fuel level above a half tank. This hesitation / stalling has occurred many times since this first occurrence. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My transmission hard shifts and stalls out. It was also low on fluid in January 2026, but it was not leaking. When pulling out from intersections with oncoming cars the transmission stalled. It has also stalled on the freeway. Yes, a ford dealership confirmed it. No warning lamps. I was told ford probably won’t cover the whole cost of this repair even though it’s a known issue

A segment of the daytime running lights went out at 60,000 miles. Another segment went out at approximately 70,000 miles. I have hundreds of other trucks with the LED reflector headlights have DRL segments out.

Ford F150 Recall 23S65. Took truck into Palmetto Ford in Charleston, SC for recall repair due to loud scraping coming from back axle. Told that they do not have parts in stock and will have to order, but the last order they placed for this recall was in February 2026 and has still not arrived. I asked - am I expected to just drive around until it snaps and the truck is immobile? The recall said it could move while parked - am I just expected to always use the parking brake now? - they told me that they cannot answer those questions, which is unacceptable.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V455000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The local dealer was contacted, and it was confirmed that the part was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue.

On 10-20-2026 while driving at highway speed of approximately 65 mph on a mountainous curving road, the steering became noticeably hard and the vehicle gave a Steering Assist Fault Service Required warning. Slowing down to a stop to park the steering was very hard. The Warning was dismissed, but reappeared on the dash withing 5-10 miles of driving. After shutting off the Truck for 30 minutes, I drove directly to a Ford Dealership. On the way there, the Steering Assist Fault warning came back on. The truck has 39,206 miles and is just barely out of warranty. The Dealership checked for weak failing 12 volt battery, loose or corroded ground/terminals and software updates and found none of these minor issues. The dealership did diagnose the PSCM was bad. They told me the Fault error code was U3000 and the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) that is built into the Rack & Pinion steering rack assembly would need to be replaced. This is a Severe Safety Concern where a sudden failure of a primary steering component at 65 mph is a severe safety incident that could cause a catastrophic crash. Because my vehicle is barely out of warranty, and this is a very expensive repair to have the steering rack assembly replaced, re-programmed and wheel alignment, I have contacted Ford Corporate Customer Relationship Center as well as the Dealership for and After Warranty Assistance also known as Ford's Goodwill Assistance Cost Share. I am currently awaiting word on if Ford will help me with the cost of this repair. This is unknown at this time.

Incident: September 28, 2026 · Filed: October 12, 2026

I own a 2022 Ford F-150 FX4 with the 5.0L engine and 10R80 automatic transmission. The vehicle experiences repeated severe and unexpected transmission malfunctions, including extremely harsh upshifts and downshifts between multiple gears. The most serious safety concern occurs when the transmission unexpectedly locks or abruptly engages a lower gear while the vehicle is in motion. During these events, the rear drive wheels can momentarily lock or skid, causing loss of traction and affecting vehicle control. This condition has occurred while slowing for intersections, making turns, and during normal driving conditions. On multiple occasions, the transmission's sudden downshift or lockup was severe enough that the rear tires chirped, skidded, or lost traction while the vehicle was moving. This created an immediate concern for loss of control and increased crash risk. The transmission frequently slams into lower gears when decelerating and approaching stop signs or traffic lights. The condition is unpredictable and creates a significant safety hazard because it can cause the vehicle to lurch, skid, or lose stability in traffic. The vehicle has been inspected and repaired previously by a Ford dealership; however, the condition persists. I am concerned this defect could lead to a crash, especially on wet roads, during turns, or in situations requiring controlled braking and steering. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this issue and determine whether similar complaints involving the Ford 10R80 transmission indicate a broader safety-related defect.

Incident: October 5, 2026 · Filed: October 11, 2026

I am reporting a safety-related transmission problem I experienced with my 2022 Ford F-150 equipped with the 10R80 automatic transmission. While driving normally, the transmission suddenly slipped in 2nd and 3rd gear. The RPM went up, but truck did barely move. This occurred while going uphill in Ctrl. Florida when turning into a side road, creating a potentially dangerous situation because the truck did not respond as expected when I needed predictable acceleration or propulsion. I believe this incident may be related to the known 10R80 CDF clutch-cylinder/sleeve problem. Ford technical information identifies axial movement of the CDF sleeve that can cause hydraulic-circuit leaks and harsh or delayed engagement and shifting. This condition can result in slipping, RPM flares, delayed engagement, unexpected gear changes, harsh downshifts, lurching, or loss of propulsion. This is a safety concern, not merely a transmission quality or reliability issue. Unexpected loss of propulsion or unpredictable shifting while merging, accelerating into traffic, crossing an intersection, turning, or traveling at highway speed can create a collision hazard. Because I personally experienced this unexpected transmission event, I request that NHTSA investigate the 10R80 CDF clutch-cylinder/sleeve condition in Ford F-150s. Please review Ford warranty claims, dealer repair records, transmission replacements, consumer complaints, and field-failure data to determine whether this is a safety defect requiring a recall. I believe owners should not have to wait for a potentially dangerous transmission failure before this known condition is addressed.

2022 Ford F-150 10 speed automatic transmission. The issue started with a clunking noise when shifting, then progressed to clunking more often and skipping gears when shifting, now the vehicle gets stuck in gear. This has ultimately left us stranded in traffic when the vehicle will not shift into gear. We have now been told by the dealer that the transmission will need to be replaced, only after their initial incorrect diagnosis to overhaul the differential. I have never owned a vehicle for 4 years that has required such major service due to mechanical issues, not to mention the cost!
