Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:TV/RADIO/SPEAKERS filed July 28, 2024
NHTSA complaint #2011329 (ODI reference 11605010) concerns a 2022 FORD F-150 and was filed on July 28, 2024. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 28, 2024. The report was geocoded to Tennessee based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as equipment:appliance:tv/radio/speakers, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 2, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD F-150 cohort independently describe similar equipment:appliance:tv/radio/speakers failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2022 FORD F-150 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
This morning, as soon as I started the vehicle and started backing down the driveway, an unbelievably loud popping sound emitted from the speakers. I immediately slammed on the brakes having no idea what had just happened. This has happened previously but have not heard in a few months so I thought the problem was corrected. It is the loudest noise I have ever experienced and is extremely dangerous as it happens at different times and is just ear splitting. My ears are still ringing and it happened at 8:45am this morning.
