Unfortunately no, mine still shifts like crap. It's a PB though so my expectations are very low and I'm just glad that it starts and moves (most of the time).

What's interesting is CR rates the PB significantly lower than other F-150s. PB reliability is rated 7 out of 100 and the non PB 150 is rated 40 out of 100, still not good, but significantly better than the PB's score. It's been this way for three years now, so I'm not surprised the PB's bad...

The lack of powertrain refinement is one big reason to hate on the PB. That and the low quality, as documented in the repeated low rankings by CR owners. Ford F-150 PowerBoost Named LEAST Reliable Vehicle for Third Straight Year

The way Ford implemented it in the F-150 makes it useless for me. It needs to have an easy to reach physical button like most cars (or through the brake pedal like Mercedes) to make that feature flexible enough to be useful. Unfortunately, Ford cut corners and buried it in menus instead.

The 2020 to 2023 2.5L Ford Maverick and Escape also have exploding engine issues due to a manufacturing defect that went undetected, or unaddressed, for 3 model years. 2020-23 FORD HYBRIDS GET ONE TIME ENGINE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM

My '22 KR has lots of rattles including one especially loud and irritating one in the back seat that is a mystery.

You may be referring to the Road Test instead of CR's Reliability reports. CR's reliability report definitely highlights the problems with PB specific items and illustrates where the PB does worse than the non-PB. These are the 'trouble spots' CR found with the PB. Transmission, Major...

The PB was rated as the least reliable vehicle on the market by Consumer Reports. Why risk buying one that has already gone through the Lemon Law process? F-150 Powerboost is Consumer Reports Least Reliable Vehicle

The PowerBoost is a nightmare. I'd run as fast as you can away from it.

Nothing but problems with my 22 KR PB, the drivetrain and the rest of the vehicle. I'm not alone apparently based on the usual industry surveys. Consumer Reports rates the Power Boost as the least reliable vehicle on the market. That doesn't surprise me at all. CR: 10 least reliable vehicles...

As a PB with Blue Cruise owner, I'd say keep what you have. There's a reason Ford is giving away the PB for free now.

Poor quality and reliability, 2022 PB. The trucks goes back to the dealer for various problems or recalls about every 6 weeks. Many issues are unresolved and I'm getting tired of dealing with Ford. Consumer Reports lists the PB as the least reliable vehicle on the market. Based on my...

I received a $2K offer, but no more Fords for me after my current POS '22. Ford's quality continues to suck.

Based on the number of 2023 PowerBoost specific defects already reported to NHTSA, I won't be surprised if the PowerBoost shows up next year on the least reliable list for a third time in a row.

There are several 2023s that have defect reports filed online with NHTSA for this problem.

Industry Recall Rates "Wondering what car manufacturers suffered from the most recalls over the course of 2022? Wonder no more, as a list from the U.S. Department of Transportation tells us exactly what transpired throughout the year. Coming in at number one on the list in both number of...

I've had the same thing happen. The tailgate just slams down.

That's going to be an expensive recall.

Agree 1000%. Ford needs to either perform an OTA update or issue a recall. This is not a minor, nuisance issue.

Continued bad news from JD Power on Ford's ongoing quality problems. The latest JD Power Initial Quality report for 2023 models shows a decline over last year's performance (2023 Fords have more problems/100 than 2022s). Seems to validate the findings of Consumer Reports. JD Power 2023...
