It is also showing up under TSB-357500 at this link ... https://www.f150forum.com/tsb_recall/tsbs/ford/f-150/2022 Time will tell if it solves the problem. I sure hope so for the sake of other owners. My ears are still ringing from my 10/4/2022 incident ... and probably will for the rest of my...

The B&O sound system is a common link. I am not aware of any reports in vehicles without a B&O sound system, but not everyone reports which sound system they have. If any owner has experienced this issue in a vehicle without a B&O sound system, please report it in this forum. This issue has...

Do you have a B&O sound system?

This issue has been reported occurring since 2018. My extreme noise exposure occurred on October 4, 2022, and my ears have been loudly ringing 24x7 since then. Ford knows that due to multiple posts here, and a Certified Mail letter sent to the Lightning Chief Engineer. I have had absolutely zero...

So, Ford is waiting for the extreme noise event to occur, likely damaging occupants hearing, and then waiting for the owner to request the DSP update, versus updating all vehicles or issuing a recall to do so?

I suggest you see an Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor since you state the noise was insanely loud. My ENT advised me that treatments are very limited for extreme noise exposure, and what does exist must be done quickly. I also suggest you file a NHTSA Vehicle Safety Complaint. It seems that Ford is...

I am sorry to hear that ... and extremely angry that Ford has still not resolved the problem, and is not communicating with us owners who have been affected by it. I encourage you to see an Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor as soon as possible. Mine was able to document hearing loss and tinnitus. My...

I encourage you to file a NHTSA complaint. When we get enough complaints, the Feds will force Ford to fix the problem. Ford is obviously not going to do it on their own since it has been reported as occurring since the 2018 model.

It is absolutely unbelievable that Ford has not provided the management attention and resources to solve this issue in 5 years! And yet, they continue to sell new vehicles with B&O sound systems, which have a known design or manufacturing defect. I have reported my Doctor-documented hearing loss...

Reports of the extreme noise issue have declined recently. Ford replaced the ACM and 12 volt battery in my 2022 Lightning in January. Does anyone know if Ford has "embedded" a software update for this issue without publicizing it?

If you think you may have hearing damage and/or your ears are ringing, I suggest you see an Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) Doctor as soon as possible. My ENT told me that steroids can sometimes help with hearing damage that causes ringing ears, but the steroids must be administered quickly following...

I decided to add a 10mm wrench to my console since it would be quicker than pulling the fuse. I gained access to the LV Battery to confirm the 10mm wrench size. Interestingly, I found the 2 nuts on the battery post clamps were indeed 10 mm, but the nut in front of the positive post attaching the...

Apologies if this has been previously posted, but I do not recall reading it ... I was searching for a TSB and came across similar problems reported on the Mach E forum ... https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/high-decibel-%E2%80%9Cstatic%E2%80%9Dnoise-arcing.17346/

Typo Correction: I very strongly encourage you ...

I took my truck to the dealership on November 7 for this issue as requested by a Ford Customer "Care" representative. After 1/2 day in the shop (nothing reported done other than to determine 2 speakers were blown) and 3-1/2 days in the parking lot, and no offer of an equivalent loaner vehicle, I...

I have potentially very bad news for you .... my ears are still ringing 10 weeks later as loud as they were the day of my extreme noise event. I very strongly you and everyone else who has experienced this event to see an Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor as soon as possible. Even if they can't help...

This NHTSA link has several complaints regarding the extreme noise issue in 2022 F-150's. (There are also several other years with this same extreme noise issue). Check under "Electrical" or "Unknown" components ...

After visiting an ENT Doctor and confirming hearing loss and the massive increase in tinnitus caused by this incident, and researching CDC publications on noise level versus time to cause hearing damage (see attached link), I estimate that the noise level inside the cab of my truck was between...

I confirm my issue occurred with the B&O Unleashed audio system in my 2022 Lightning Platinum. I was using Apple Map navigation via Apple CarPlay without music or any other audio playing. I have disabled CarPlay and turned the Audio system off. I found that the Sync navigation audio voice...

I encourage you to file a complaint at NHTSA. It may be the only way to get Ford's attention to this serious issue.
