New York CNN —Ford has gotten about 100 complaints from F-150 truck owners who say the speakers in their vehicles are emitting a loud, annoying noise that sounds like static, or glass shattering, and which cannot be shut off.
The automaker confirmed the complaints and said it has come up with a software fix that addresses the problem.
But it has yet to issue a full recall to notify owners of the potential problem and the fix.
The company said complaints have come primarily from owners of the gas and hybrid versions of the F-150, which is the auto industry’s best-selling US vehicle.
A spokesperson for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the agency is “aware of the issue and to date has received multiple vehicle owner complaints.
