F150 Lightning Lariat 2023
This morning my 2023 Lariat with 5000 miles on it would not start. It gave a series of error messages such as trailer brake system fault.

I tried restarting several times and got the truck started without any errors. In less than two miles just as I was pulling in to a state highway the truck shut down with the same error message. I was halfway in the highway and stuck.

after several tries I got it restarted again and turned around to go home. As I was driving down an icy hill the breaks locked up the same time I got the message again. I had to slide the truck into a snow bank to avoid hitting anything.

I had the dealer tow it to their shop. Anyone else have their brakes lock up while driving?

Could be part of the brake recall! Wiring issues from the wires chaffing in the rear axle housing!

The dealer told me they had fixed the truck before I bought it.

And what was the fix the dealer told you, evidently not fixed!

Good morning! If you would like additional assistance with this concern, please send over a DM with your VIN and name and location of your Ford dealer.
