Interesting incident, for sure. But, IMO, the title is a bit click-baity.

I don't want to scare you, but this was weird. With all this computer controlled equipment, there's going to be "glitches".

2022 XLT Hybrid

Pressed the keyfob once, unlocked driver's door only, opened door, chime was going off- the same chime that goes off when you try to exit with key still in ignition. Key is in hand. Chime continues until I start the truck. Ok, fine. Whatever.

3 minutes later, I am driving down a hill. I got a lazy streak. I pressed the L instead of brake pedal. Regen goes full horizontal. I get substantial slowing, but not enough so I press the brake pedal at the same time. Fine. All feel normal and as expected. But now I am slowing too much. So I release the L button. Back in D and in Normal mode. Regen needle goes to zero regen. I lose all braking. I don't feel any brake pads I am freewheeling for 1-2 seconds, accelerating, red light at bottom of hill. Not a big hill either. Like 5%. I had to press the brake pedal maybe half way to resume any slowing at all.
After I stop, I look at scan gauge. Battery was NOT full. After all the stopping, battery was at 56%. Battery was cool, 68°F.

Notice now my headlamps are on from reflections on car in front. Not DRL. Headlamps. Green icon on dash is on. It's 9am. Pretty bright out at 9am. No lamps on switch. And I can't turn them off until I reach destination and turn off the truck, and exit truck. Then they are off.

Headlamps on, no amber light.

Weird start to my day.

How do you check your battery percentage and temperature. I have had my truck since April and every day I flinging don’t know about it.

A month ago I had the random chimes and lights on with no amber indicator on the lamp switch, it happened 3 time in a single week and then hasn't happenned since. Each time I noticed, the light switch would go back to working properly after moving it 2 clicks in either direction.

Every 3 months or so, after parking, switching the engine off and having the parking brake applied, my truck will blast the horn twice upon opening the drivers door for no apparent reason, and then I won't be able to replicate it again. When it happens it makes me worried some random bloke near will think I blew the horn on them lol.

At 1 year plus 1 week my keyfob wouldn't open the door. I clicked every button. Nada.

Used the numeric key pad to get in. Was fine next day.

I've had some oddities, too.

Every once in a while, I get a message on the dash that tells me to push the clutch in to start the vehicle. Sometimes the chimes come through the stereo speakers, sometimes they don't. Sometimes the radio works, sometimes it doesn't.

Nothing serious, but it's not exactly confidence-inspiring.

Just got this message this morning telling me to push in the clutch to start. I was already moving down my driveway when this flashed on the screen. Hope this is not the beginning of a problem. Have you received this message multiple times?

Yeah, I’ve gotten it a couple of times. It’s always a brief message, but it’s either been a while since it’s happened, or it’s brief enough that I don’t notice it. Just a little quirk, not a big deal.
