I just purchased a 2023 F150 Platinum PB. It has had multiple issues and been to the shop 2 out of the 4 weeks I've had it. Latest issue being a 2'' bolt popping out of my accelerator and hitting me in the leg while driving 65 mph on the highway. The truck does not ride smooth in normal drive mode. It drives a lot better in eco mode. It vibrates in normal mode and runs high rpms before shifting gears. Anyone have theses issues?

What do you mean it does not drive smooth? Where are the vibrations concentrated? There are several threads about various vibrations I’ve contributed to because I experience it in my truck and dealer can’t replicate. Waiting on corporate to make a game plan, hopefully.

Try and have the transmission reflashed at the dealer. I had the shake going up a slight incline in 10th, my auxiliary pump went out (which I believe those two are unrelated). They repaired the pump, reflash the transmission, it still had harsh shifting. Then I noticed a leak on my pan, upon them repairing that they reflashed it again and this time everything is smooth and no vibration anymore. I don't know how to check the update number on the tranny. But whatever they did they fixed it, I would try that first. If they say they updated it and it's still there bring it back again. Thanks for showing me the bolt, I'm going to check mine and make sure it's snug. Sorry you're having these issues.

That's some quality right there. Way to go, Ford.

At least your truck LOOKS great!

Impressive indeed! I just removed the pedal assembly to place some vibration absorbing pad in hopes that my foot would stop tingling on longer drives and you have to back those bolts out quite a bit. Amazing that that one just flung out.

…and by the way, the padding didn’t help as much as I initially thought.

Vibration is in the accelerator area, driver seat, steering wheel and center console.

Please keep us updated! Vibrations should be as simple as imbalanced tires, but unfortunately it’s a considerably more vexing issue for some of us.

Will do. I just added the new tires. Took them back twice for rebalancing. They are telling the tires are balanced and these tires never have issues. Will follow back up if/when the issue gets resolved.
