The dash cluster randomly shuts-off/restarts while driving the vehicle and when it did last time ford app sent 3 notifications of faults with antilock brakes, TPM, restraint indicator warnings. If there is an issue with these items and I have road emergency and my brakes and restraints do not work properly it could be a safety issue for all involved in accident (I would not know how fast i was going since dash cluster is off). I took the truck to dealership and they are passing it off on SSM 51757 (which my truck also has an issue with) and a loose pin connection. But this happens with no checking of trailer tire information. The speakers made a loud crackling noise and my phone disconnected from infotainment center just prior to the incident.

While driving at approximately 45 mph my parking brake warning light and message on the instrument panel cluster came on, on several occasions. I also recently experienced an unintended activation of the electric parking brake while driving.

Upon the first drive of a '23 Raptor, within 20 miles of driving the TPMS sensor warning lights up on the dash. This immediately caused a loss of data (no PSI data) on at least 2 tires shown on the truck's dash display. There is a loss of data on the FORD app also that corresponds with the dash display. This will only reset after the truck is off and parked for a reasonable amount of time. This occurs EVERY trip in excess of 20 miles. In the Ford Raptor Forums it appears this issue is persistent anywhere from 17-30 miles into a trip. This issue/error prevents the safe operation if it is unknown whether tire pressure is low, or there is another issue at hand. The truck has been at FORD at least 4 times in order to assess the problem. From "resetting" the system, replacing the ECU, replacing additional electrical components and still having the same issue. The issue has been replicated at the dealer level - hence the numerous attempts at a fix as mentioned above. Apparently a work-around is shielding the Pro-Power - the power chord is causing interference with the truck's electrical system. This problem is persistent with numerous 2023 F-150 Raptors, and it appears to correct itself TEMPORARILY if you turn off the Pro-Power...which of course turns off numerous electrical outlets in the truck. Again, this issue prevents the safe operation of the truck - the sensor is set off during every drive, and although its apparently caused by RF interference, we have no way of knowing if there is an actual anomaly in the TPMS system. Will it read correct if a tire is dangerously low - is unknown whether tire pressure is low, or there is another issue at hand. Is the Pro-power affecting RFI in other electrical/safety components???

Reporting this after the second time this incident has occurred. Shortly after starting the vehicle, there was an extremely loud electrical/static pop coming from the speakers, followed by extremely load static noise which went on for several seconds. The noise was so loud, that it caused ringing in ears. The noise was not related to the volume control of the speakers, as turning the dial all the way down to zero, or turning the volume off, had no effect on the noise. To stop the noise, I turned the vehicle off. This occurred while I was in a parking lot, and fortunately not driving, but would have been a dangerous and disruptive situation if it had occurred while driving. Reading into this online, it sounds like this is not an isolated occurrence, and others are experiencing an even worse version of the problem that will not stop until the battery is disconnected. Also reports this is happening in the middle of driving. I'm nervous to drive the vehicle now.

My truck features the B&O speakers and initially I heard a very loud pop on the passenger side of the vehicle. Radio and CarPlay was playing but no sound was coming from the speakers. Then an extremely loud static noise vibrated the entire truck through the speakers at full volume. I had family in the car and it scared everyone. Pulled over and shut the car off and the static persisted until the electronics fully shut off. Went back in the truck and turned it on and the static continued. On the 3rd try 5 minutes later the static finally stopped and everything worked “normal”.

Charged truck overnight, measured 12.6V. Drove to work 30 minutes, parked 10 hours, drove home 30 minutes, measure battery at 11.08V. I could not start the vehicle and get out of the area I was in.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2023 Ford F-150 Supercab verdict →
