Water seeps into brake lightbar in tailgate and shorts the light. The light bar now does light at all during braking or normal operation. This seems to be a known issue amongst forum contributors, some which have had 3+ light bars replaced. Seems to be an awful design choice but it-??s affecting the safety of travelers.

Front driver side turn signal fails to signal randomly. From the instrument panel, I see the turn signal flashing 2x as fast like the bulb is out and it appears the amber light isn't flashing in the headlight. This continues for the entire duration of the drive, but the next several drive it works OK. Drivers can't see which way I'm turning when it's failed.

I have a 22 F150 lightning lariat with a tailgate light bar that is taking on water. As of now the lights are flickering and burning out. The water may be shorting out the lights and could be a safety issue. I have read on lightning forum sights about other owners with the same issues.

Rear tailgate lights red and white fill up with water and stop working. Cruise control jumps up 10mph when passing signs, very scary!

Vehicle is being held at dealership due to recall 22V686 (Ford 22C22) "Front Lamp Park Flicker". The bulletin states the Ford would have a remedy for F-150 vehicles in January 2023. As of this writing there is no remedy yet available, and no updates have been provided by Ford. Ford has exceeded the reasonable time allotted to provide a fix or update on when the fix may be available.

There is an outstanding recall (NHTSA 22V686, Ford 22C22) for Front Park Lamp Flicker. The original notice stated the fix would be available in January. January is now past, and no updates on the status of this fix has been provided by Ford. I am filing this complaint in an effort to obtain an update on when this fix should now be expected.

This vehicle is under Safety Recall 22C22 and NHTSA Campaign Number 22V686000. Ford said a remedy was supposed to be available January 2023. There still has not been a remedy put out by Ford to fix this safety issue. Ford also has not put out any updated info as far as this recall is concerned.

Purchased a vehicle with a cord dealership and found out it had a recall (22C22) front light flicker. I was unable to take the vehicle off the lot. Found out this recall has been in effect since roughly August 2022 with no remedy to fix as of yet. I have been checking daily for updates and still nothing! I really want this vehicle and it-??s been 5 months since the recall to effect with no fix! Aggrivating

Vehicle is a 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Lariat Extended Range. The light bar on the tailgate is filling with water on the right side. The light bar provides rear tail lamp and reverse light functions when the tailgate of the truck is in the closed position. With the tailgate in the closed position, no other reverse lights are visible.

There are two things that have been happening, and are widely prevalent on different online forums as well. 1) While the vehicle is on the stereo will end up going into a loud max volume crackling and popping and won't shut off even when the truck is turned off. This has already caused an accident. Please see attached forums: https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/dangerous-b-o-sound-system-issue.9254/ https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/gremlins-ii-crackling-static.93548/ https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/extremely-loud-electrical-pop-followed-by-loud-static.9591/ https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/my-ears-are-hurting-b-o-sound-system-goes-crazy-safety-issue.91946/ 2) Headlight DRL on Ford Raptor flickers while driving and is clearly a violation of NHTSA safety guidelines.
