Mine falls on it's face when I mash the pedal now from a stop, never used to. Like a cold carburetor on an old musclecar that's not up to temp. Whatever. New 23 shows up tomorrow so it's the dealers problem now. Also the driver's window on auto gets to the top and goes right back to wide open, need to creep it closed a little at a time. Trombone rattles, valves in there or something. Big screen does stupid shit, half on and half ford performance screen in the background. Sometimes won't load my stations on Sirius. Start it up and when I press the button won't return steering wheel or seat to my position. Cameras freak out quite often, put it in Park and it keeps moving, auto applies parking brake. Only sometimes, dealer said I imagined it because they can't duplicate. Was fine for 6800 miles, now the last700 it's acting like a crazy woman. Maybe the amb paint is bad luck. You can't touch that color up without it looking like a black spot either. Hope my code orange is the color of happiness and zero issues.

My 23’ gen3 Code Orange has not exhibited any of the issues in this thread so far! Thank God.

Welcome to the Code Orange Fam.

2022 gen 3 4k miles

I’ve noticed a shunt/slight clunk when I’m he truck shifts down to 1st coming to a stop sign! It’s not smooth at all, It normally happens when I’m driving around the neighborhood and I’m stoping and going constantly!
That’s normal behavior for the transmission; it downshifts proportionally to vehicle speed. Once speed has dropped down to near zero, it shifts back to 1st to prepare for acceleration. 1st is a short ratio (4.69), so it’s more noticeable. For those used to the slushboxes of years ago, these transmissions operate more like a DCT in many respects.
Also notice if you put the foot down from a dead stop sometimes there’s a lag like no power and I notice the turbo gauge is well in the negative.
It can’t build boost until engine speed and load increase, hence why the gauge shows vacuum. Most modern vehicles with Electronic throttle control are tuned more conservatively so that rapid changes in accelerator position have a delayed response. Sport mode resolves that.

I have an IWE issue also but I can't get the dealer to diagnose it. I have had them look at it a couple times and they can't replicate the sound/vibration. I notice mine when I am slowing down and get to about 15 mph. Start to hear and feel a vibration and grinding/rubbing sound. Initially I thought something like my mud flap was rubbing on the tire but it wasn't. Now I am noticing it a little more when accelerating. The problem I have and why the dealer can't find it is because it is intermittent. Sometime it is there and then goes away after driving for a while. I mostly notice the problem when I am in 2H.

Two times now I've gotten in the car on a cold morning after remote starting and:

First time: it had turned the seat coolers on max and turned the AC on as though it thought the vehicle was too hot inside
Second time: no seat coolers or A/C on, but even after the engine was nice and warm (15 min of driving later) warm air would not come through unless I set the temp to max heat even though it was 50˚F outside.

There was one other time where only hot air was coming out until I set it to low and turned the A/C on when it was only 70˚ out. My first thought was maybe the interior temp sensor is broken or maybe something in the climate control software logic.


One time out of 60+ times getting in it randomly put my seat and steering wheel into comfort entry (even though I have that disabled) and kept it there. I had to press the seat memory button to get it back into normal seating/steering wheel position.

Anyone else have a non-working collision warning system? I have all the settings turned on, high alert sensitivity with active braking and don’t get any type of alert when approaching a slow or stopped vehicle at moderate speed.

Approach it faster...:33:......:joke: I don't know; certainly is strange though. Faulty sensors up front maybe.

Buy a 23’. Done.





Kidding of course lol
Same thing here. May 2022 build date. I can't take the issues anymore. Electrical nightmare and it keeps getting worse. Has been to dealer 8 times now. Picking up an avalanche 23 build date 3/29/23 in the next couple weeks.

Hopefully they figured some things out.
