Any thoughts on this 2022 Hybrid Lariat?

Got a 2022 Hybrid Lariat… just took a quick video while it was parked in my garage. Curious if anyone’s seen similar issues.

Have you checked for any outstanding recalls? The 2022s were hit hardest by some flawed recalls from Ford, but they’ve apparently fixed those now. I’m also wondering if the issue went away after you restarted the truck.

Just putting it out there, but you might want to contact your dealer if you’re still under warranty or if a recall is involved. They’re usually the best source to help with these things.

On a different note, have you looked at the starter battery? I had a similar issue with an old Prius—hybrid battery was fine, but the starter battery needed replacing. Good luck with it and keep us updated if you find a solution!

Yeah, I reached out to my dealer, and they arranged for a tow truck. I’d been holding off on some recalls because I’ve seen and heard a lot of horror stories about issues popping up after the recall fixes. Luckily, I know some people at Ford and have good connections with both the sales and service managers, so they’ve been helping me out.

@Phoenix
Guess I’m out of the loop on those stories. So you held off on fixing known issues just in case it caused other problems?

I may have just gotten lucky… I’ve taken my '22 in for every recall as soon as I got notified, probably 7 or 8 times by now. I can see why something could go wrong, though.

@Quin
One of Ford’s recalls actually had a bug that made some hybrids flash warnings like yours and go into limp mode. It happened often enough that Ford had to issue another recall in May '24 to fix it. That’s why a lot of folks are wary of the recalls and prefer a ‘if it’s working, don’t mess with it’ approach.

Could be a programming glitch the recalls can fix, or it could be something physical like the 12v battery or a wiring issue. You did the right thing having it towed in.

@Zeke
Oh wow, definitely sounds like I got lucky then. Good to know!

Not really related to your issue, but is that ‘Built Ford Tough’ screen exclusive to the Lariat? Or is it some kind of ForScan mod?

The large display in the cluster is only on the Lariat, so yeah, it’s exclusive.

@Aman
I think the big center screen might also come with the FX4 package on XLTs? Or maybe it’s part of the Lux package… can’t remember exactly.

Could be on the FX4, but my '24 XLT with the Lux package doesn’t have the larger screen like that.

@Aman
Alright, so maybe it’s only with FX4 then.

Yeah, FX4 definitely has the larger dash screen. Ford doesn’t really make that clear in their marketing.

Probably just a dead battery. Try cleaning out the front sensor area—might be something minor.
