On October 4, 2022 at ~1:30 p.m. EDT I was stopped at a red light when an extremely loud pop and deafening noise "exploded" in the truck cabin. If I had been driving at the time, the sudden and extreme noise could have caused me to react in a way to lose control of the vehicle. After the light changed, I turned into a business entrance, turned the vehicle off, got out of the vehicle, locked the door, and the noise still continued for several seconds. After the noise stopped, I got back in the vehicle, restarted it, and the noise returned. The n…

without any prior indicators, truck lost power, could not exceed 2 mph either forward or reverse - battery malfunction - wasn't an emergency I had to go somewhere but if it was I would have been SOL as the vehicle is totally undriveable - dealer has it now for service - only 6 months old and under warranty - reading online F150 forums this is not a unique problem

After opening hood (front trunk) electronically, the hood will not close after pushing electrical actuation button. The hood sometimes only opens partially after pushing the button on the front edge of the grill. The hood can be difficult to latch after malfunction of the electronic open/close mechanism. The emergency exit button is likely affected by the failure to open after pushing the button. It might be possible to be trapped in the front trunk or to have to hood open while driving.
