2022 F150 Tremor
Hi All,
Weird issue on my 2022 Tremor (3.5 liter).

Sometimes while cruising at speeds of 50 to 60 mph (or maybe as low as 40 as well) i can let off the gas to coast a bit, and when i get back on it, very lighty not to speed up - just to maintain, i get a fast squeak and i cant tell where its coming from. It only happens in maybe the first 1/4 of the gas pedal range, if i give it more there is no squeak. If i give it 1/10, then another 1/10, then another 1/10 again, it would do it all 3 times but after that the pedal is too far down to do it again. Seems to happen with any amount of gas pedal before the boost.

Also, it doesnt do it often, but when it does it, i can duplicate it over and over again until i slow down to turn on to a different road or something, then might be a week before it happens again even when i try to duplicate it under what i think are the same conditions. Its not loud but is easily detectable with the radio off, and its very fast - always a second or less. Has me thinking vaccum leak, something in the transmission, maybe wastegate, i even wondered if its my shoes (it isn't) or as simple as the pedal itself - which i dont think because with the vehicle off it won't do it.

Also engine and trans are warm when it occurs, happens in 9th and 10th gears for sure, i think its done it in 7th as well. Its possible its done it from stop before or lower gears but for a while i was thinking it was my imagination or something else around me. Doesnt seem rpm dependant exactly, just more when you lightly increse throttle. Dont want to bring it to the dealer yet because it obviously wont do it for them.

Anyone else have something like this?

Hi Gabriel! I can look into your F-150’s noise concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your F-150’s VIN?
