2021 F-150 Brake Controller problems

Long version of what is going on for a bunch of us is here:
https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/trailer-brake-not-working.3039/

Short version is that there is an intermittent issue with the TBC not working either at the start of the trip of randomly part way through. It's not the trailer as many of us have had them checked out thoroughly, and the issues are common.

Just wanted to get as much visibility to this problem and a potential solutions, other than Ford getting off their butts and figuring it out!

It's really frustrating as I love everything about this truck otherwise!

All I can say is WOW

My 7 pin connector came loose a few times back when I was towing a 6000lb TT with my 1997 F150. I had no idea the trailer brakes were not working until I tried to use them. That made for a few hair raising moments of pure terror. I would pull over, reseat the connector and be on my way.

Fortunately, I haven't had any issues with my 2011 hauling the 9000lb FW. That would certainly be terrifying.

Note to self: Avoid trading up to a 2021 F150 at all cost
