Gen 3 Common issues we are now seeing

[NinjaRaptor]

My 2023 goes in Monday for its second driver side turbo replacement. First turbo replaced at 2000 miles, I noticed during full WOT pulls It felt like the driver side engine bay was rattling, hear a weird sucking noise from intake and a loss of power after about 4000 RPM. At that time I had the S&B cold air Intake on. Did about 8-10 WOT pulls heard a gnarly screeching noise and got the “Power Reduced Notification” and white smoke out the exhaust. Ford replaced the turbo, now in at 2,400 miles, I went to pass someone last week full WOT and felt the same thing I did before. Did a total of 4 WOT pulls and felt the exact same with the engine bay rattling, sucking noise from intake and loss of power. But did not blow the turbo yet… swapped to the stock cold air Intake went out driving and did 8-10 full WOT pulls no issues at all. No engine bay rattling, sucking noise from intake or loss of power. Drove just fine home. Took the truck out today and started to hear a weird turbo whistle from driver side turbo on normal driving around town and getting on the freeway, shortly after I noticed a huge lack of power when driving. No notifications or “power reduced” and no smoke out the exhaust. The first turbo that was replaced Ford said it was the turbo bearings that went bad, curious what they say is up with this one.

sorry to hear.. keep us updated.

All I've had to take care of on my 22:

1.) Got Trans replaced at 5k miles
2.) Got the bumpers realigned
3.) Got the driver seat bottom tsb done
3.) I'm on windshield number 3 but that's not ford fault... I think... these windshields are weak af.

what is the driver seat bottom tsb?

I just noticed today that my front bumper is misaligned as well, love the truck so far but man these QC issues are getting out of hand!

what is the driver seat bottom tsb?

It gets loose and moves around.

Just got back from a weekend im
Palm Springs (not sure if this is heat related it was 108 all weekend) but my raptor now sounds like it’s in Baja exhaust mode all the time, there is no fault codes and I’m cycling through the settings but nothing is changing it’s a loud and ignorant sound driving around at low RPMs. Anyone had this happen?

With 500 miles on the clock, a small rock or something hit my windshield and by the time I got home, the crack had traversed the entire width of the windshield.

My windshield caught a rock the first month. Check 2023 Raptor windshield prices on Safelite… $2,000

Windshield prices have gone nuts apparently

If said rock flew off a gravel truck, never hitting the ground, it’s a comprehensive claim, if it hit the ground and bounced up and hit you it’s a collision claim. One has a deductible, good reason to have full glass coverage with zero deductible.

I hit an owl in the middle of the night that swooped down out of nowhere going at least 70 on a country road. I have no idea how my windshield didnt get destroyed or even a crack. just a bit of a blood smear

Be glad (or not?) it was an owl/bird and not a rock. Birds have hollow bones and when one strikes, it’s like a bouncy ball “most” of the time.

Impressive list of woe! For me so far... literally on the first weekend I've had the Raptor a f'ing rock bounced off the windshield causing a tiny divot which will probably grow but did attempted to fix with epoxy. Those small 2 lane highways are always the culprit to glass chips and paint dings!

How many miles are on your Raptor so far?
