New 2022 Tremor - Won’t start, multiple errors

[Dapper247]

I’ve had my new truck 3 days.

First day no issue, truck started no errors or issues. Drove to work and back.

Day 2 : Go to start truck in the morning. Push start engine. It won’t start. The start button blinking. The dash starts lifting up with tons of errors. I push button off back on. Still won’t start. Get out of truck, use key fob to start truck. It starts. Weird. No more issues rest of day.

Day 3 : Same as day 2, except this time it won’t start with the key fob either. Called my buddy to come pick me up for work, jump in truck to try one last time and it starts. This time. The check engine light stays on. Drop off at dealer and left it for the day. They’re still troubleshooting.

Anyone else have similar experience?? If so, what was the issue?

Hi there, I'd be happy to look into your F-150 concerns on my end. Will you send us a message with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into things on my end.

Would bet decent money on the battery being bad

I told the dealer that and they laughed and won’t even test it.

Sure. Where would you like me to send that info. I’ve been sitting at home 2 days without a truck now.

Did you ask them what they suspected was the problem once they finished laughing?

the reply was : We need to keep diagnosing and may be a few days.

I had a nostart issue and a tow back to the dealer. It was the battery, which couldn't be charged and had to be replaced.
I've had plenty of issues and appointments for my 2021 Plat. Am finally getting a new APIM installed Monday after a 8 month wait that hopefully stops all the problems.

Thanks for sharing. I am confident I’ll be in the same situation it would seem.

Yea, why would a failing component of the electrical system be causing an issue with the electrical system?

I hate it when dealers/service department employees act like they already know everything.

Sadly not the first time I’ve heard that from a service department on this issue…they forget to always try the simplest solution first..

I watch a ford master tech on YouTube…check this one out about 5:45 timestamp

This battery issue rears its ugly head again. I dropped off mine yesterday morning for the battery issue.

If it ends up being a bad battery, I would chuckle when picking it up and then say weird, who would have thought it was a bad battery...

I am patiently waiting for that opportunity. Trust me.

Geez. This is unreal. I have 452 miles on my truck. It has spent more time at the dealer being “diagnosed” than I’ve had it in my possession.
