I have B&O Unleashed sounds system in my 2022 F-150 Platinum. Went out to work, no issues with sound. Auto-Started the truck, & came back out to my truck after grabbing some documents from my office for an offsite meeting.. Pressed the start button when I unlocked & sat down in the drivers seat, & an extrmely loud "pop" occured.
Upon pressing the start button a loud deafening sound emits from the speakers. Followed by loud crackling and static. Happens at least once a month. Issue began about a month after I purchased the vehicle Additionally, deploy on their own while vehicle is off and key fob is not near the vehicle
Tonight when I started my truck there was a loud pop sound that came from the sound system. The stereo then had no volume with any source. I shut down the vehicle and restarted it. As soon as it turned on again, the sound system had incredibly loud static coming from every speaker.
When entering truck and apon hitting the push button start and loud pop was heard from speakers with a continus crackling afterwards
1. The back up brake assistant is not working. This has been defective since August 2022. It caused me to have an accident running into a post, filing an insurance claim for repairs. I have taken it to 2 different Ford dealers for service and to get the back up brake fixed. No resolve from FORD. 2.
