The vehicles DEF system malfunctioning issue causes a warning to illuminate on the dash stating the “Speed Will Be Limited To 50 MPH in 50 Miles” but the DEF Fluid is and was in fact near full or full. When this incident happened I did not stop after the 50 miles had lapsed and the vehicle eventually began to slow down on I-80 going Westbound and caused numerous of vehicles(Cars, Trucks, Semis) to be forced to go around me to avoid hitting my vehicle where I was pulling an RV. In order to reset the system I had to pull to the side of the road where there was barely a shoulder to pull over to and turn my vehicle off then wait for some time then restart the vehicle. Road traveling conditions on I-80 is 80 MPH and this issued raised a tremendous safety concern for me. The issue has been ongoing since winter 2023. I brought this to the dealership attention because there is some sort of system/computer issue but they blamed it on my batteries. Then it happened to my neighbor and he has a 2019 Ford F-350 SuperDuty 6.7L Powerstroke Diesel with new batteries.

Gatormade gooseneck trailers equipped with electric over hydraulic disc brakes will loose trailer connection to ford trucks model years 2022+ and some newer GM trucks upon restart of the vehicle resulting in the loss of trailer brakes. Also randomly while driving the trailer will loose connection with the tow vehicle and loose trailer braking ability.

They are advising me to try and add resistors to remedy the issue.

I have had severe vibration in the rear of my pickup and have been to the dealer 5 or 6 times,they tell me all is normal and it's the nature of this $120,000 pickup. But for only having 28,000 miles they did say the rear driveline and carrier bearing could be the culprit,they replaced and still have the same problem and now it has a howling noise when it starts to vibrate at 62 per hour and doesn't go away till after 76 miles per hour,very disappointed as the dealer tells me they don't know and has been no recalls of this but you read online there is 100s of complaints about this same issue. Now for the second issue is the transmission. It's also been to the dealer 4 times and they also tell me this is the nature of the 10r140 transmission. As I go to pull into traffic to get going when it shift from 3rd to 4th and from 4th to 5th it has about a 1 and a half to 2 second hesitation between both shifts and I have almost caused an incident do to it not shifting to get going. Once I get going it wants to search for a gear every now and again. When I'm coming down from hwy speeds coming into town there has been multiple times it has down shifted so hard it has skidded the rear tires and has made me go sideways,it gets really bad when it's wet. The dealer has rode with me when this has happened and said something is bad wrong with it but plug it into there machine and doesn't show any codes. I then get the run around and every excuse again that's the nature of the 10 speed,they'll do a reset and relearn and says that will fix it and it doesn't. And for the last problem is clunking in the front end has been tierod ends done twice now in the last 3000 miles and now it's going back in for the 3rd time for the same ones again are bad again. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle with my family in it and would like some help or answers to why this is happening on such a new and expensive vehicle and why is ford not doing anything when all these issues are on the internet.

04/2022 F-450 with 13,000 miles (garaged over winter) no boat towing. Reporting the first incident/time connected to trailer with electric over hydraulic brakes is 18 months after purchasing the truck. The F-450 has intermittent power to the #5 pin (+Batt) of the 7-way trailer connection. This pin is for powering the electric over hydraulic brakes. There is also an intermittent triple chime and a visual warning of "Trailer Disconnected" when the brakes are released. When first connecting the trailer 7-way, the #5 pin has power. However if you turn the vehicle off and restart the truck without first disconnecting the 7-way, the #5 pin will not have power and the trailer does not have any brakes. In order to correct this, you need to leave the vehicle running, exit and disconnect and reconnect the 7-Way. There are no fuses blown. The wire has continuity from the Trailer Brake Control Module to the 7-Way connector in both the bed and bumper locations. There is no corrosion on the terminal ends of the wires or the 7-way connector. Di-Electric grease remains on pins/connector. Seekins Ford (Dealership) replaced the Trailer Brake Control Module on 14 November, 2024. I asked them to look into Recall 22V193, but there was nothing about it on the repair order and the service writer didn't know. Though the module was replaced, the problem persists. I took the trailer a 2024 Diamond C F-Max 212 with Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes to a servicing dealer who verified the brake system nominal. I connected the trailer to 3 other vehicles to verify the brakes operate. A 2023 Tacoma, 2006 F-250, and a Kubota Farm Tractor. The trailer brakes operated on all vehicles. I have deadlined the truck from pulling a trailer until this problem is resolved.

The tailgate has opened randomly on about 4 or 5 occasions most recently the tailgate opened making a right turn while the horse trailer was connected to it and damaged the tailgate. It seems to open on right turns or when washed or been raining. The key is kept in the console and i always apply the parking brake. It is very random. There was a recall/ owner satisfaction program 21m01 but this truck is out of the production date and was advised this was fixed in production so either the repair the "fix" did not work or maybe mine got old stock. the truck has been out of service for this for over 6 weeks and is still at the dealer. two engineers have looked at it and no answers as of today 11-1-2024. We have another 2022 f350 with different production date and that one has open 21m01 on it which was allegedly fixed.

on 6/7/24, while driving around the Baltimore beltway towing a 44' RV in rush-hour traffic a battery warning light appeared. Within 1 min, the vehicle dashboard information went out and the engine stalled. I immediately put the vehicle in neutral and was able to coast to the shoulder without advantage of turn signals on either the RV or truck as a result. Once there I popped the hood and was able to get out to open it, however, there was a fire and my fingers were singed. After opening the hood, I noticed a full engine fire. I yelled for my wife to get out ASAP. I was able to extinguish the fire (thanks to the RV extinguisher), however, a secondary fire started, and a Samaritan help extinguish that fire. A fire department truck appeared, and they cut the batter cable since it seemed to have started the fire. The vehicle was towed back to the dealership where it was purchased. The insurance agent stated a mechanic had informed him; they believe it was the battery that was the cause. All vehicle maintenance was conducted by the dealership due to warranty AND an extended vehicle maintenance plan purchased at the time of sale. Ford has failed to acknowledge any problems with the vehicle and refused to honor the warranty.

Trailer brake controller will randomly announce "trailer wiring fault" and lose all brakes. Brake power will momentarily show requested power then cut off. Trailer has been confirmed ok, works 100% on two other trucks, ground continuity is 100% via plug only, brake wiring and resistance all in spec for 3 Dexter 7000# axles (electric drum) Will randomly cut out after working for days. Usually when needed most. Dealer claims "cannot duplicate" had been to dealer 4x for it, to include a software update. I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering Automotive Concentration from what used to be GMs in house engineering school. (GMI/Kettering) To say I'm intimately familiar with how this should work is an understatement. Also, the manual slider control should just provide requested power to brakes, bypassing any BXM/TCM interlocks. In aviation, if I use a backup brake it bypasses antiskid, anything else. Towing a 21,000 pound trailer in the Mountains when this thing decides to not work is sketchy. It will eventually cause an accident given that it's a widespread issue known to people but magically no recall. If this was an Airbus 321 or Boeing 737 we'd have an Airworthiness Directive at a minimum.

I was towing my 5th wheel trailer on a highway and up an incline. Almost at the top of the hill a notification appeared on the dash screen stating, "low power mode". As I was on top of a hill, towing a trailer, on a highway, and with no available offramps, I coasted down the hill trying to find a place to pull off of the highway. At the bottom of the hill I heard a loud noise from the engine, noticed smoke in my rearview mirror, and lost all power to the vehicle including power steering. I managed to pull off to the side of the busy highway. I exited the vehicle and removed my kids from the car, moving them up a hill on the side of the highway as it was the safest place I could find. It was at that point I noticed flames coming from the right font front wheel well. I quickly opened my trailer, grabbed my fire extinguisher, and doused the flames. Had I not acted quickly the entire truck, trailer, and hillside would have caught fire. The vehicle is still at the dealership waiting on Ford Motor Company to approve the repairs. The vehicle has approximately 26,000 miles on it and is unmodified.

Getting this message “Trailer Left TurnLamps Fault Check Lamps”. This is issue is intermittent but it causes the trailer lights, turn signal, stop light and warning lights on the left side to be very very dim and not visible. The lights would be good when trailer is hooked up but it will go dim and not work properly on the road. Those driving behind would not be able to see turn light while moving lanes and possibly causing an accident scenario. Gone to two different dealers and they cannot recreate the issue with their equipment. Called Ford twice to report the issue and concerns. The trailer has been checked by the dealer and showed no issues when hooked up to an independent battery. Have changed the fuse twice but they were not burned out so it was not a fuse issue. Apparently there are no current recalls for my VIN.

Ford has a "Customer Satisfaction" program in place (21M05) because the tailgate of the F450 can unintentionally come down. These vehicles are designed for hauling and towing, not just driving around town. As such, when the tailgate comes down, the payload could fall out and cause an accident. Also, what is being towed could be significantly damaged. In my case, I tow a large, custom 5th wheel. If I turn with the tailgate down, it's going to create a significant amount of damage and cause debris to scatter on the roadway, creating a hazard for other vehicles. I am troubled that this problem is not a safety recall. Ford is only fixing the problem AFTER an incident has occurred.

2022 F450 King Ranch will not recognize an electric over hydraulic brake system on the trailer. It will recognize it if you connect while running. Once you shut the engine off and turn it back on it disconnects and will not recognize the trailer until you get out and go back to the plug and unplug and plug it in again. The 2021 F450 will work with the trailer. The dealer tried hooking up (4) different 2022 F series and they all did the same thing. Have been emailing every email address I can get ahold of at ford. Field service engineer came out on 6/8 and he cannot figure out the issue. This truck was taken in after the brake controller recall on 4/18/22. First attempt updated software on 4/20/22. Supposed to fix. Still not fixed as of 6/13/22. Also had our 2021 Gator Trailer inspected for any issues. There were none. The fact that Hardy Ford hooked up 2022 F150, F250, F450 to the trailer and none of them would recognize and electric over hydraulic brake trailer system.

The truck came with Continental tires (Model: Conti Hybrid HD3) installed on all six tires (Dual rear wheels). The manufacture tire specification states that the tire is designed to only be installed on the Drive Axle (rear axle). I have been experiencing a steering issue (constant steering wheel correction). This seems to be caused by the tires reacting to any roadway surface anomaly (the tires seem to catch an edge which causes the vehicle to abruptly steer to one side or the other). I tow a 5th wheel RV and the abrupt steering change causes a sever lateral back and forth movement of the trailer when it occurs. This has caused the trailer to leave my traffic lane. I have ensured the air pressure is per the Ford vehicle specification. I am making arrangements to have the steering system inspected and have the alignment checked. I did contact Ford's customer service and asked if the installation of drive axle tires on the steering axle was their intention. The response from Ford's customer service was that the truck was produced with the same tires on all six wheels. I am concerned that the tire may be contributing to the steering issue I am having and may be indicative of a steering safety issue. This has been occurring since we purchased the vehicle on March 21, 2022. The vehicle had approximately 50 miles on it when it was purchased. The vehicle had approximately 1400 miles when we starting using it to tow our RV. The vehicle currently has approximately 4100 miles on it.

The trailer brakes fail after a random period of time. Though the trailer works fine with other controllers, the entire trailer was rewired with new brakes and a new 7-pin connector, the problem did not changed - there are no shorts, grounds, opens in the brake circuit, and the ground circuit is OK. There previously were and are no intermittent problems with the trailer. The trailer brakes will start off the trip working, but stop working at random times. I've often noticed that they'll fail shortly after sitting in traffic. After the failure, I remove and reinstall fuse #62 in the under hood fuse box, and the trailer brake operation will be restored for a while. Being aware of this problem, and the dealers being no help (this is a common topic on groups and forums), I regularly manually test trailer brake operation, especially before descending a hill, but sometimes even shortly after confirming proper operation, the trailer brakes will not work. After the failure, I will pull over, then again confirm that they're not working, then R&R the fuse without disturbing any other circuits or connectors, and the trailer brakes will resume operation. Turning the truck off and on does not fix the problem even temporarily. I experience this problem about every hundred miles or so of driving. The truck currently has about 2,500 miles, but the problem was noticed at about 1,100 miles during the first tow. I'd estimate I've experienced the trailer brake failure about seven times.
