I hope this hasn't been posted/asked already, I couldn't find another thread on it. I saw another "electrical gremlins" thread, but the issues seemed different.

My 2021 King Ranch F150 has been having issues lately. I started noticing them lately when it's cold, but I don't know if that's related or just coincidence. I've had the truck for around 2 years now and didn't notice this before recently.

Just starting recently when I turn the wheel normally, just taking a turn while driving, odd things happen sometimes (often, but not always). Things like: the radio station will change to the next station on presets, the radio volume will go down to zero, a few times it even activated the auto-drive mode.

Another thing...possibly different, not sure. The other day the key fob didn't work for tailgate up/down. Had to do it manually. I haven't tried it since, might be intermittent.

Anyone else seen or heard of this? Known issue? Recall issue? Something common? Hoping there will be a known easy fix.

Hrm, sounds like it's possibly a clock spring issue if it's freaking out when turning the wheel. Should be an easy warranty fix.

I second a possible clockspring fault.

But not related to tailgate.
That's not nearly as rare around here.
