My 2021 Ford F-150 PowerBoost has been nothing but PROBLEMS!!!

[@o713]

I have a 2021 f150 platinum. I have owned 20+ vehicles and I have never had as many issues like the 2021! 🤬 My a/c was doing the same thing. And it would flip sides one side cooled and the other didn’t. It happened while getting my first service. The “dealer” blamed it on the cabin air filter. Wtf?! That’s not the issue. My screen also goes out. The “dealer” saw it and blamed it on my phone. I have an iPhone 12! 🤬 My fat left a/c vent and my fat right a/c vent both broke a week apart. “Dealer” said it can’t replace it because it’s not mechanical 🤬 When I fuel up, the distance to empty or fuel range varies from 320miles to empty / 530 miles to empty!! “Dealer” said that’s regular depending on how the vehicle is driven! Bullshit! 🤬 200+miles is a huge difference! I have a bunch of other issues and more problems keep popping up. The “dealer” replaced the a-pin numerous times and then said the radio needed ford updates. My truck sat over 90 days at the dealer in 2021 I made a case with Ford, I ordered a new 22 f150 back in December 2021. It’s been 7 months. Still no build date! 🤬 Out of all my vehicles, this one has been the worse, and bad dealer service and communication with solving real issues that they passed the blame onto something else instead of listening to the customer that the truck is the issue. Oh! They blamed me for not replacing the caving air filter and that’s why the ac has problems. It’s been changed twice under 25k miles. And my a/c is starting to smell like a wet dog. Again. “Dealer” said they will look into it. Truck has been sitting there since Tuesday and they can’t look at it until this Friday. 🤬 Now no other dealer will look at my truck because there is an open ford case on it. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤬. So I’m stuck using the dealer that I’m super unsatisfied with until I can get a new truck. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 The 2021 has been a nightmare and I see I’m not the only one with similar issues. Other issues, back seats were coming unstitched, dealer wouldn’t fix so I found a nice seat shop that fixed it for free!! 4 recalls and they don’t know if they have the parts to fix. Front Passenger door has to be slammed to close correctly. Dealer said my passengers are closing it improperly. 🤬🤬 Back driver side door doesn’t open properly. They checked it 3 times and still not resolved. When radio was first having issues, “dealer” technician wrote on service paper, “customer needs to read owner manual” cause they said it was user error🤬🤬🤬. CarPlay still has plenty issues, maps don’t work. Screen doesn’t come on, navigation doesn’t work, Bluetooth doesn’t work properly. All these extra SAFETY OPTIONS DONT WORK PROPERLY!!! Sorry! For anyone looking to buy… stay away from the 21’s! Especially used 21’s! They will have plenty issues.

[@nocarbsnation]

Thank you!! I was literally just looking at a used 2021 XLT Sport with under 8,000 miles. Good price too. Then some red flags. Owner had it brand new for 10 months. Two recalls (not fixed), plus two other issues that are called "courtesy notifications" for issues (like tailgate automatically opening). That's enough to scare me away (sadly). I miss having a F150, but too many warning signs.

That totally sucks we have a 21 Lariat powerboost and when we were driving on the freeway when the gauge cluster suddenly turned off and wouldn’t turn back on so we had to pull over and turn the truck off and on back again and when it did turn on everything was reset .This issue has happened 3 times and yes we also have the CarPlay issue and lastly the issue were it switches from electric to gas is annoying how the entire truck shakes.

#EarlyAdopter

[@Kanesgarage]

Except Ford likes to redesign vehicles almost annually. Constantly changing part #s, design, etc. It makes it extremely challenging to work on fords for us techs.

[@Longsnowsm]

It used to be true. The old model of introducing a new model or make over, then over the course of roughly 5ish years they would iron out the issues and then start it all over again. But we are seeing now that the manufacturers are making large changes year to year now. Parts are changing, supply chain issues, and very significant software changes have become the ghost in the machine. So the old adage you should just wait a few years doesn't really work like it used to. We are seeing it right now that the dealers can't do recalls for specific model years of the same truck run because the software changed and they don't yet have a fix for it. The reliance on software and so much tech that is clearly not tested and ironed out is a problem, and worse yet if it is this hard to maintain when the vehicles are new you can forget these things being supported in 5 or 10 years from now. Your vehicle will become like a Google phone that once they stop the updates you have to get a new phone. Think that sounds far fetched? Just wait. Much of the new co-pilot and auto drive stuff all requires online connectivity and constant updates. People are so enamored with the tech toys they don't think about the long term ramifications. I guess if you are constantly in a new vehicle and willing to stay on the little wheel in a cage then it is all fine. Anyone who keeps vehicles and later needs any sort of support, parts etc is in for a real treat. They can't support this stuff now while it is new.

My new 2021 ford f150, just like yours, but with black rims, shut down and made a high pitched grinding sound, lost nearly all gas and brakes to get off the road, and all lights and warnings flashed saying every possible component was not working. i sat there with the truck off and barely off the shoulder, cars going by, and the hubby was looking up the number to the closest ford place when after a few mins, the truck stopped beeping and flashing all kinds of failures, and i was able to turn it back on. i drove it to the local dealer who can pull up its history right on their computer, by the vin number. thats kind of cool. but they dont know what caused it so im going to tell them about this ipim?? module that you mentioned. someone else here mentioned that hooking up a trailer caused issues and we noticed that our trailer lights were pulsing just barely, but that was odd. its in the shop as of today so wish us luck. i will post an update if i get one.

What a bummer, I got my Lariat Powerboost right around the time you got yours (13k Miles on mine). Live in Northern MN in the freezing cold and for the most part mine has been flawless. The only time I have issues is when Ice and snow build up on the sensors but once it gets warmed up in the garage it goes back to normal. Carplay issues are the same on mine. It amazes me that Apple and Google play are not very dependable but I have just learned to always plug the phone in and forget it. But I am frustrated because it struggles to connect to the truck wifi while using carplay. But I agree with you this thing is the most amazing truck I have ever driven but the electrical issues are concerning I won't lie. I hope mine will last for many years to come!

I have questioned my decision many times, but following your issues makes me feel like I made the right decision at this point in time. I have had a few small quality issues: wind noise from rear view mirrors, rear bench seat not sitting flush between driver and passenger side, grinding noise from steering wheel in cold weather, and front driver tire rubbing inner fender well at fully lock when reversing. My dealer has been great about working through these issues. I am happy that none of them are powertrain issues or electrical issues.

Just curious if you ever tried hooking up a trailer to your truck? That's the thing that would really trigger my electrical failures. Also, my Pro Trailer Assist stuff would never work from day one - part of my trailer tow package that I paid $880.00 for!!

Hi Frank. How difficult was it to get them to replace your truck? I have had mine a few months and have multiple mechanical troubles with less than 8k miles. She's currently in the shop :( I bought her brand spanking new and have tranny issues, light shuddering when lightly accelerating uphill, 4x4 doesn't work, all drive modes disabled, and a horrible grinding noise coming from the engine block. I LOVE this truck! We have 2 that are near identical (his has the extra towing capacity, and we bought them at the same time) and there are ZERO issues with his, so I would assume it's just the bad one off the line. Which we all know does happen. The thing is... I didn't pay all that money for a brand new truck to be failing and rebuilt- I mean, wouldn't that impact the value of the vehicle overall?

[@frankwalker1075]

@@kimfb1443 Hello Kim, Wow, your truck sounds way worse than mine! The first thing you need to do is take a look at the Lemon Law for your state. If you qualify for replacement under the rules your state has in place, you would then contact Ford and tell them your intention to get a refund or a replacement vehicle under Lemon Law rules. I turned down my initial Ford offer I received on December 23, 2021 that was to to give me back all my money minus mileage. I am leasing and I opted instead for them to make me a new identical (2022) truck with NO changes to my original lease agreement. The only change they can make is to change the VIN number when the new truck is built. Ford is saying that the new truck most likely will be built sometime in February and I'm ok with waiting that long as I mainly need the truck for the boating season. Save all your paperwork and document EVERYTHING relating to your truck problems. Of course, the pandemic and the chip shortage is increasing the wait time for everything so don't expect a quick fix. Good luck!!

[@kimfb1443]

@@frankwalker1075 Update: I just spoke to the Ford dealership (they are so kind). There are multiple issues. Firstly, the integrated wheel end on the front passenger side is failing which is why the 4x4 will not engage. Unfortunately, because the truck is so new, the parts are on back order indefinitely. They have sent a request to "Big Ford" engineers, as I like to call them, to request the parts directly from the line. Pending a response on that. Secondly, they were able to recreate the crazy noise and decided that it is something with the transmission and/or some front -end pump as the sound emanates from the center of the engine/tranny linkage area. Here's the kicker... they don't have a transmission tech right now due to the staffing issues seen across the country *cough* letsgobrandon *cough*. I talked with "Big Ford" about this and they are checking my area for a dealership that is capable of dropping the motor and trans in order to do a full diag on this issue. Kicker #2... The dealership it is currently at cannot transport it to wherever it will need to go. And I cannot drive it there either. Sooooo... we shall see. I am not upset, I know there are going to be issues with some ratio of vehicles coming off the line. It happens. Ford has always taken care of me and I understand that while it may be a pain to deal with ESPECIALLY this year - it's not intentional, negligent, or malicious. It just is. I'll try to get the video of the sound uploaded. *FYI* Ford just issued a recall for the underbody insulation issue - the one where it sags a bit and touches the shaft making a ticking noise.

@@kimfb1443 Hey Kim, I don't know what state you are in, but I would pursue the Lemon Law thing with all the problems you are having. In Michigan, the Lemon Law can be used if your vehicle is in the shop for more than thirty (30) days or the dealer has had four (4) tries at fixing the same defect with no luck. My truck hit on both criteria and also had two (2) complete APIM (computer) replacements that failed to fix my electrical problems. Like you, I also bought two new Ford vehicles in 2021 and only one is having major problems. Ford knows I am a loyal customer and they referred me to the Ford RAV (Re Acquired Vehicle) program almost immediately after reviewing my case and I think reviewing my past buying history. I can drive my truck for now as long as I don't attach a trailer to it and I can wait for them to build me a new truck later this winter. You might want to look into the Lemon Law option as your dealer is on record as saying that they cannot fix your issues due to staffing issues and parts shortages You also should look at the NHTSA website as your problems definitely sound safety related to me.

I have a GMC Sierra that has had these types of problems. Not often, but there have been some like the hot air coming out of one side and not the other. The most significant problem was the electronic parking break NOT releasing which is a show stopper since there is no mechanical release or any other way to release the brakes. I have found that the truck is a lot like my home computer such that I have to reboot occasionally. Sometimes I have to pull the plug for a full reboot and the truck is like this --- the battery has to be disconnected and reconnected to clear a problem. I now carry a small ratchet in the truck that fits the battery cable connection. So far this has always cleared a screwy electronic problem and I have to do this just two or three times a year.

Not sure if its the same issue, but I had a bad temp sensor on the driver side in my 2018 Mustang that would sometimes cause the driver's side vents to blow either way too hot, or way too cold.

The weird thing is it didn’t recognize my fob like always. I had to use the manual key to get into it, it was totally lit up with warnings (emergency brake service) in red, I hit ok, and their were many other things lit up. I tried to start it, it just kept throwing up random warning lights. Then the brake was pulsating when i put my foot on it to try to start it and then it was done, as in, completely dead. I cant even get in the back of my truck to get to my tools because i have a back flip on it so its locked tight. I managed to get the battery cables off and then reinstalled, nothing has changed. It’s like it doesn’t even have a battery in it. My head lights are set for auto (never have changed that and dont see a reason to do so). It stays locked in my carport. We have 5 vehicles but this was going to be our long trip vehicle, now I’m nervous as to the reliability of it and watching your channel as well.

The notification that child could be left in the back seat is turned on, but I receive continuous notifications to turn it on. My headlights switch turns on or off when exiting the truck for no reason so I can’t place it on one setting. The other day the temperature change control would change the air flow from your face to your feet and the button to push to control that setting would not work.

No idea yet, but still investigating it. It’s not covered under my extended warranty as Ford is calling “maintenance” and it also does not involve any electrical components. Now Today I received a new fault code “Power Reduced to Lower Engine Temperature” and the gauge is stating that the temp is normal, It’s in limp mode now. The fun never stops. Lastly, for anyone who lives in cold weather climates, the dealer informed me that if you wash the powerboost F150 in temperatures less than 32 degrees, you run the risk of the sensors breaking and they will not cover it under warranty! The dealer just told me that’s the price you pay to have the hybrid power boost. The gas mileage is great, but with these issues, it's time to find another vehicle.

I have a 2022 F150 with eco boost, love the truck drives like a dream. A few times after driving for an hour or so with the a/c on the cab would start to warm up. I can hear the blower motor running on high speed but nothing is coming out of any of the vents. Also at times the with the a/c on the fan speed will by itself speed up to the point it gets to cold in the truck. Its in the dealer right now, they have not been able to find the problem yet.

Welcome to the club. Wish you didn’t have to learn this lesson the hard way. While most vehicles will be fine the ones that have problems like yours and mine really make owning a new vehicle a pain. Ford and the dealer got their $$, perfect in every way, you got the vehicle, imperfect in many ways. Wish I had my 2012 Silverado WT with the V6, crank windows, manual door locks, lever style 4x4 engagement and less electronics back. Not all is bad with the F150 though. Most comfortable, quiet and fuel efficient truck I’ve ever owned. 24mpg on one leg of a 4200 mile trip to and from Colorado. Solid 19-21 local driving before the weather turned cold here in Vt all on a 5.0 non turbo’ed V8. We could have a separate discussion on turbos but the tekkies don’t wanna hear it!

I am having problems with my brand new 2022 Powerboost. Cold start makes a terrible sound until I drive away. I have had the PCM re programmed as it is a known issue. But now my Hybrid features aren't as great. The engine doesn't turn off as often and my electric bar that I can use before the engine kicks back on is smaller. Also my driver side power window button for auto up doesn't work for the passenger window.

What’s the word on your Powerboost? What issues have yo faced with your purchase? Did you get the hybrid? I wanted to love my truck and I made sure I looked and got one that was everything I needed (and wanted extras) like the generator built in as the electricity goes out often here in the boonies. Not even cell service, hard phone lone or cable, here so I use starlink for everything. Got this truck to use the ATT Phone and WiFi, but it doesn’t even work out here so I had to cancel that.

[@cwqrpportable]

@@OneOfTheGoodGirls I ordered our 2022 Lariat 502A Powerboost on Nov. 12/21 and it arrived at the dealership on May 10/22. I paid MSRP and got a fantastic trade on my 2018 F150 Ecoboost. We're loving the truck, it now has 28,500 kms on it and have not had one single issue with it. It's been back for a couple recalls, the most recent one was to replace the windshield wiper motor. They dealership did it while it was in gettting a free oil change and they gave me a courtesy car to use. Any recall I've had is minor stuff and it's painless. I just checked the fuel mileage meter and I'm currently getting 9.5L/100 kms (29.7 Imp mpg). The truck is the best of both worlds; you can drive it like you stole it or hypermile with it. We tow our 6000 lb RV and typically get about 18 L/100 kms (15.6 Imp mpg)..I highly recommend it. I wish Ford would be a plug in version of this truck.

[@TomasVillegas]

Man I feel for you. It super unfortunate all these problems are happening to you. I got my Lariat around the same time you did and the only issue I've had was needed to take the truck in to have the transmission relearned the shifting pattern. The Powerboost shifted extremely hard initially, but since then all is good. Sorry all this BS is happening to you considering how much you've paid for this thing. Might be time to pull the plug on it and move on.

[@Lumpschlevot]

As far as the temperature issue goes. You may want to find out where the temperature sensor is located in the cabin. I would think the sensor is what is driving the outlet temperature of the vent. If the sensor is in a warm location, getting hit by the sun etc. it will drive the vent to colder temps until the interior temp lowers to the selected temp for the sensor. And vice versa for cold days. Solution, point the vent at the sensor for more rapid temperature stabilization instead of it searching or driving the mix to extreme hot or cold. If the sensor is in the vent itself, the sensor may be defective.
