2010 Ford F-150 Regular Cab w/SAB

2010 Ford F-150, 2 of my doors cannot be opened due to a defect of components in the handles. Ford does have a recall affecting the the same situation as mine, but according to my VIN# my vehicle is not included. This could be a deadly situation if needing to exit the vehicle through those doors. I will attach a copy of the recall and of my door handles.

All electric devices and warnings having to do with the left rear passenger door have shorted out due to excessive wear from repeated opening and closing of the door. Inspection of the harness immediately adjacent to the door frame shows excessive wear and broken wires. Possible confusion to the driver from unsafe dash warnings and false warnings that a rear passenger be seated next to a door that is not properly closed. Dome lights may not extinguish during driving. Electrical fire hazard. Required fix is Ford replacement part #9L3Z-14631-CAA. Internet search has shown this problem to be wide spread among F-150 crew cab back doors.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-150. The contact stated that only the driver’s side door could be opened from the inside or the outside using the interior and exterior door handles. The other doors failed to open as needed. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic where it was diagnosed with needing the latching mechanism replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and the contact was awaiting a response. The failure mileage was approximately 182,000.

November 17, 2021 the Ford service writer at Bolton Ford in Lake Charles Louisiana State told me he could not rotate my tires do to faulty Lugnuts,I asked the gentleman well what am I supposed to do he said replace the log nugs for around $150 which he only had six in stock, apparently there is a problem with this and Ford should make it good.

Swolen lug nuts cannot be removed

On October 5, 2021 (Wednesday) I was driving my 2010 F-150 Lariat and noticed the brakes fading as I came to brake for red lights. I also noticed “BRAKE WARNING” lights & “BRAKE FLUID LEVEL LOW” light come on also. I pulled into a CVS store and looked under the hood to & saw the “Master Cylinder Brake Fluid RESERVOIR” nearly empty. I put 1 bottle of DOT 3 brake fluid in fluid container and saw level go back down, almost empty, upon turning truck on to pressurize the system. I didn’t see any fluid leaking from under truck & bought another bottle of DOT3 Brake Fluid and again the reservoir emptied again. I got the vehicle home and the next day the same thing happened after a 3rd refill of the reservoir. AGAIN STILL NOT SEEING ANY FLUID LEAKS ON MY DRIVEWAY!!! I disconnected a vacuum tube at top of “BRAKE BOOSTER” which is connected to the “Master Cylinder” and looked inside to see large amount of BRAKE FLUID IN THE “BRAKE BOOSTER HOUSING”!!! I saw where 2014 to 2017 Ford F-150’s have been recalled for this exact same SAFETY ISSUE! I will contact my dealership for immediate repair tomorrow, OCTOBER 7, 2021. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a32828805/ford-f-150-brake-recall/ I feel F-150’s back to 2010 should seriously be included in this recall immediately before someone gets seriously injured if not KILLED!!

Cooper Discovery A/T 275/55R20 . The tire is splitting apart on the sidewall. Driver's side left front tire is splitting apart and passenger right rear is also splitting apart. Consulted with a mechanic he said this was extremely dangerous. WARN EVERYONE. This could blow out causing a horrible wreck even death. Purchased the tires from Walmart on 6-17-2021. . Took the truck to Walmart. Walmart told me to return tomorrow because they didn't have anyone there that could make a decision. Please check your tires. These tires have only been installed on my truck for 52 days. Inspect your tires. Research tire companies before you purchase tires. I thought Cooper was a good tire. I was wrong. After I realized my tires had started splitting on the sidewall earlier. Today. I knew this was serious. Googled Cooper tire splitting. Cooper tire has had many incidents in the past with this type issue..Reading this will hopefully save someone from serious injury or death.

While attempting to leave my driveway, I put my foot on the brake pedal in order to put the vehicle into gear. I heard a “pop” and the pedal went to the floor. There were no warning lights on the dash. The vehicle remains, (un-driven) in my driveway. I don’t know what failed and the vehicle has not been inspected. I do notice fluid leaking under the vehicle but don’t know where it’s coming from.

I was in a parking lot and went to shift the truck out of park and noticed the brake system warning light on. After the vehicle was shifted into drive the brake pedal went to the floor and the only way to stop the vehicle was with the parking brake. The master cylinder was empty of any fluid. I had the vehicle towed to my home for inspection. After checking all brake lines for ruptures or leaks, I removed the master cylinder and discovered the brake booster full of brake fluid. I replaced the master cylinder and the vehicle returned to its normal braking function. The brake booster was also replaced due to the corrosive nature of the brake fluid. Luckily, I was parked and wasn’t driving when the vehicle lost brake function because I wouldn’t have been able to stop the vehicle at highway speed with the parking brake.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED AND FAILED TO STOP WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN TO HER RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT CALLED VOGLER MOTOR COMPANY INC (1170 E MAIN ST, CARBONDALE, IL 62901, (618) 457-8135) AND WATERMARK FORD OF MARION (1910 W COOLIDGE AVE, MARION, IL 62959, (618) 993-2161) AND MADE THE DEALERS AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 123,000.

WHILE DRIVING, I EXPERIENCED ALMOST COMPLETE SIDEWALL SEPARATION FROM STEERING DRIVERS SIDE TIRE: BRAND- DELINTE LT 275/65R18 BANDIT TIRE. THE TIRE HAD OVER 5/32 OF TREAD STILL LEFT. THE OTHER THREE TIRES ARE ABOUT THE SAME TREAD DEPTH; HOWEVER, THEY ARE THE SAME BRAND AND MAKE. THERE IS A RECALL OF A SIMILAR BRAND TIRE: RECALL # 2750 SENTURY TIRES.

MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR IS STUCK CLOSED. I HAVE TRIED TO OPEN IT FROM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE AND MADE SURE IT WAS NOT LOCKED. I HAVE REMOVED THE DOOR PANEL INSIDE AS MUCH AS I COULD TO TRY AND PULL THE CABLE FOR THE LATCH. EVEN PULLING THE CABLE TO THE LOCK ACTUATOR DOES NOT DISENGAGE THE DOOR LATCH. WHEN I DID THIS I NOTICED THAT THE DOOR HANDLE SPRING HAD BROKEN THROUGH THE PLASTIC THAT HOLDS IT IN PLACE. I TRIED TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. WHEN I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT IT WAS VIN SPECIFIC. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THERE CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE WARRANTING A RECALL, MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THOSE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL YET MINE IS NOT COVERED. I ASKED WHY THAT WOULD BE AND THE CSR ONLY ANSWERED WITH HIS SCRIPTED RESPONSE OF 'THIS IS A VIN SPECIFIC RECALL'. DESPITE THIS, I ORDERED A NEW DOOR HANDLE AND WAITED FOR IT TO ARRIVE HOPEFULLY THINKING THAT IT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER ONCE THE NEW HANDLE WAS INSTALLED, THE DOOR STILL WILL NOT OPEN.

SEATBELT CHIME/ ALARM IS DEFECTIVE. SEE ALL YOUTUBE VIDEOS SHOWING SO. SEATBELT LIGHT AND CHIME CONTINUOUSLY STAY ON AND CHIME ALARM CONTINUOUSLY RINGS EVEN WHILE SEATBELTS ARE ON & LOCKED IN POSITION. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING AND A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR DRIVERS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE IT GO OFF/ WORK CORRECTLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS SEATBELT CHIME IS DEFECTIVE IS BOTH WHEN DRIVING / IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. BODY/WINDSHIELD AREA STRUCTURAL DEFECT- THERE IS A HOLE/OPENING THAT ALLOWS RAIN/ WATER TO LEAK INTO INTERIOR OF TRUCK, LEAKING WATER INSIDE TRUCK INTERIOR FROM UPPER BUILD SEAM, THROUGH THE GRAB HANDLE LOCATED AT SIDE OF WINDSHIELD IN FRONT OF FRONT PASSENGER, THEN LIQUID DRIPS DOWN ONTO CARPETED FLOORBOARD. THIS BODY STRUCTURE DEFECTIVE OPENING/ HOLE IS LOCATED SOMEWHERE BETWEEN UPPER WINDSHIELD SEAM AND THE INTERIOR FRONT PASSENGER GRAB HANDLE AT WINDSHIELD FRAME. WATER DRIPS THROUGH THIS HANDLE. THIS WINDSHIELD LEAK DEFECT OCCURS WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION AND WHEN STATIONARY. ELECTRICAL/IGNITION SWITCH- TURNING ON TRACK WITH IGNITION KEY, IGNITION SWITCH DOES NOT ALWAYS PERFORM CORRECTLY. IT OFTEN DISALLOWS THE AC, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, AND BACKUP CAMERA TO WORK, WHILE EVERYTHING ELSE IS WORKING. BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE MAY BE WORKING, THE DRIVER MAY NOT NOTICE THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS BEEN TURNED ON INCORRECTLY.THIS DEFECT, ESPECIALLY THE BACK UP CAMERA NOT WORKING, AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS, IS DANGEROUS. THE SWITCH SHOULD BE MADE TO CONSISTENTLY WORK AT ALL TIMES THE SAME WAY. THIS DEFECT IS NOTICED WHEN STATIONARY, BUT OFTEN WHEN IT'S TOO LATE AND IN MOTION.

TRUCK SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. WOULD NOT RESTART. ALTERNATOR NOT HOLDING A CHARGE, REPLACED BATTERY AND TOLD BY DEALERSHIP WIRING HARNESS SHORT. FUSE 27 AND NEEDED FUEL PUMP FUSE RELOCATION KIT. WOULD BE SECOND TIME REPLACING WIRE HARNESS. LESS THAN 2 YEARS BETWEEN REPAIRS.

4X4 TRANSFER CASE MOTOR FAILURE. SYSTEM WILL NOT ENGAGE ON EECTRONIC 4X4. FAILURE APPEARS WHEN PARKED OR MOVING WHEN TRYING TO ENGAGE THE 4X4. APPEARS TO BE A CURRENT FAIRLY HIGH FAILURE RATE ACCORDING TO LOCAL DEALER. 4 THIS MONTH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SEVERE RUSTING AND CORROSION ON SEVERAL SECTIONS INCLUDING THE TAILGATE, THE WHEEL WELLS AND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING PARTS AND PIECES OF RUSTED MATERIALS HAD DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE AND FELL ONTO THE ROADWAY. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT YET DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY - I TURNED IT ON TO WARM UP AND TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROSTER. WITHIN A FEW MINS, THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED AND THERE IS A BURN MARK AND MELTING OF THE TRIM IN THE BOTTOM CORNER OF THE WINDOW WHERE THE DEFROSTER WIRING/SENSOR IS LOCATED.

TRUCK WAS PARKED, WENT OUT STARTED TRUCK AND TURNED REAR DEFROSTER ON. HEARD A LOUD POP LIKE A GUNSHOT AND SAW BACK WINDOW WAS SHATTERED.

JUST BOUGHT VEHICLE WITHIN 4 WEEKS, UPON STEPPING ON GAS, TRANSMISSION VIOLENT JERK IN FIRST GEAR FROM STOP , HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES ON ENTERING ONTO HIGHWAY

I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN IN MY 2010 FORD F150 PLATINUM. IT HAD SNOWED THE NIGHT BEFORE SO I HAD CLEANED THE WINDOWS AND TURNED ON THE DEFROSTER, INCLUDING THE REAR DEFROSTER. I WAS RUNNING THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT 15 MIN WHEN THE REAR WINDOW STARTED TO SMOKE AND A SMALL FIRE, BURNING OCCURRED BEFORE THE GLASS IN THE RUBBER SEAL (OUTSIDE). I THREW WATER ON IT WHILE MY WIFE AND KIDS (11, 9, AND 3) EVACUATED THE TRUCK. I WAS ABLE TO CONTAIN IT, BUT THE WINDOW CRACKED DURING THE BURN/FIRE DUE TO THE HEAT. MY WIFE WAS TAKING MY DAUGHTER OUT OF HER CAR SEAT AS THIS HAPPENED. WE TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND CONTACTED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER WHO SAID THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED UNTIL MONDAY BUT TO BRING IT IN AS THERE WAS A RECALL AND THEY WERE AWARE OF SIMILAR ISSUES. I TOOK THE TRUCK IN TODAY MONDAY JANUARY 18TH AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL OR ANYTHING THEY COULD DO. NOT ONE DID ANYONE ASK FOR THE WELFARE OF MY FAMILY NOR DID THEY PRETEND TO CARE ABOUT THE SITUATION OF ONE OF THEIR PARTS/VEHICLES CAUSING A FIRE AND POTENTIALLY INJURING OR WORSE CAUSING DEATH TO ONE OF THERE CUSTOMERS. I WAS INFORMED TO CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO GAVE ME THE SAME RESPONSE. THAT MY VIN HAD NO RECALL LISTED AND THAT WOULD NOT COVER ANY REPAIRS. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND READ ON NUMEROUS FORD FORUMS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH 2009-2012 FORD TRUCKS. ALL WITH THE SAME EXACT BURN/FIRE LOCATION AND EXACT REAR WINDOW (FAR RIGHT) CRACKING. THIS IS CONCERNING THAT FORD IS CLEARLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY TO ATTEMPT TO CORRECT AND LOOK OUT FOR THE WELFARE OF ITS CUSTOMERS. I WOULD UNDERSTAND A MECHANICAL ISSUE AND A PART BREAKING DOWN BUT I SHOULD NOT FEAR THAT MY VEHICLE WILL CATCH ON FIRE AND CAUSE HARM TO MY FAMILY. THANKFULLY NOTHING WORSE HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY AND I BUT IT SHOULD NOT TAKE THE WORST CASE SCENARIO FOR FORD TO ASSIST WITH THIS.

RUSTING HORRIBLY LAST 2 YEARS BY REAR DOORS AND ROCKERS

THERE HAVE BEEN 3 TIMES NOW THAT MY VEHICLE HAS RANDOMLY DIED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS. WITH THE ENGINE NOT RUNNING I LOST POWER STEERING AND ALMOST COULDN'T MAKE A TURN. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO CHIMES. LOOKING INTO IT MYSELF I FOUND THAT THE FUEL RELAY 20AMP FUSE WAS MELTED AND THE PLASTIC AROUND THE TERMINAL ALSO MELTED. FORD HAS A TSB OUT FOR THIS ISSUE BUT I FEEL IT SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR SAFETY PURPOSES AS THERE IS NO WARNING AND YOU LOSE ALL POWER. LITTLE TO NO STEERING OR BRAKES UNTIL YOU COME TO A STOP AND POP THE HOOD OPEN AND WIGGLE THAT FUSE IN HOPES THAT IT WILL MAKE CONTACT AGAIN. THIS MEANS THAT YOU COULD BE LEFT STRANDED OR GET INTO AN ACCIDENT TRYING TO STOP. MANY PEOPLE IN ONLINE FORUMS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ACCORDINGLY.

WHEN SHIFTING INTO PARK THERE IS A MINUTE OR TWO DELAY IN SHIFTING. ALSO IN THE HIGHER GEARS ITS HESITANT.

BACK RIGHT REAR WINDOW OF THE 3 PIECE WINDOW SHATTERED FROM USING THE DEFROST

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL OF MY DASH LIGHTS WENT ON AND MY HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE DARK! IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY TRUCK STARTED JUMPING AND SHIFTING WEIRD. THE TRACTION WAS MESSING UP. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE SHOP THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE COMPUTER. I WAS IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE OF A COMMON FAULT IN THIS YEAR MODEL. I WILL BE TAKING TO A LAWYER MONDAY. PLEASE GET BACK TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT THEY COULDN'T ROTATE MY TIRES BECAUSE I HAVE SWOLLEN LUGS WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD VEHICLES BETWEEN 2005 AND 2015. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD NEED TO BUY NEW ONES AND THAT IF I HAD A FLAT TIRE THE JACK THAT COMES WITH THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REMOVE THESE LUGS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL STIFFENED INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO STEER THE VEHICLE WITH EXCESSIVE EFFORT IN ORDER TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE.

THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO REACH OUT TO THE MANUFACTURER BUT WAS UNABLE TO REACH A REPRESENTATIVE. A DEALER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,870.

TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACE RAIN WAS BE PLACE THE TRUCK IS STILL STALLING SLIP IN AND YEAR

FORD'S 5.4L 3 VALVE ENGINES INSTALLED IN THEIR 2004-2010 TRUCKS HAVE, UNFORTUNATELY, ESTABLISHED A REPUTATION FOR PREMATURE FAILURE. OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLE'S REPORT HEARING A TICKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE ACCOMPANIED BY A LOSS OF POWER AND OFTEN A "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT. RESEARCH HAS REVEALED THAT THE CAUSE OF THESE ISSUES IS USUALLY ATTRIBUTED TO A FAILURE OF THE CAM PHASERS AND EXCESSIVE OIL CLEARANCE IN THE CAM JOURNALS. MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF MID DRIVE AND HAS HAD ALL ISSUES DESCRIBED ABOVE. IT STARTED WITH THE TICKING NOISE FIRST THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEXT AND THEN MAJOR LOSS OF POWER. THAT WENT ON FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS BEFORE THE FIRST TIME IT SHUT OFF MID DRIVE.

THE DAY I WENT TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEN THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT HAS CAUSED THE RADIO NOT TO WORK. THAT THEY WILL FIX IT NEXT DAY. I BASICALLY GOT THE RUN AROUND HAD THERE MECHANIC LOOK AT IT HE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. I INFORMED THEM THAT THERE IS MORE THEN JUST THE RADIO THE AIR BAG SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK OR SHOW THAT IT WORKS. ALSO POINTED OUT THAT CHUNKS OF METAL WAS FALLING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THIS EVERY TIME I SHUT THE DOOR. STILL NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THEY USED RUSTOLEUM BED LINER TO COVER EVERY INCH UNDER THE TRUCK. IT IS LITERALLY FALLING TO PIECES. 3 WEEKS GO BY AFTER SENDING NUMEROUS EMAILS ON UPDATE WHEN THIS WILL GET FIX AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THE CO SIGNER LEFT A BAD REVIEW. I HAVE NO WORKING AIR BAGS. AND I'M PAYING 15 THOUSAND FOR THIS TRUCK.

THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES FOR THE DOOR HANDLE. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 11S15. THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BREAKS UNDER NORMAL USE AND DOES NOT SPRING BACK INTO POSITION. THIS CAN CAUSE A PROBLEM IN AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER AND FORD SAY MY VIN IS NOT IN THE RECALL, BUT MY TRUCK IS THE SAME YEAR. MY TRUCK WAS STATIONARY. THE REAR DOOR HANDLE BROKE WHERE MY SON SITS IN THE BACK.

STEERING WHEEL IS WOBBLY ON STEERING COLUMN. WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY CHANGING LANES THE STEERING WHEEL MOVE IN AN UN-EXPECTED WAY. THE STEERING MOVES IN A NORTH, SOUTH AND EAST, WEST DIRECTION IN MOTION WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY PARKED. THE PARTS INCLUDE: STEERING COLUMN, STEERING SHAFT UPPER, STEERING COLUMN BEARING RETAINING RING (UPPER) STEERING SHAFT WASHER, STEERING COLUMN BEARING, STEERING COLUMN BEARING (UPPER). *TR

DRIVING MY 2010 FORD F150 AND IT DOWNSHIFT DRIVING AT AROUND 35 TO 40 ON A CITY STREET. I STOPPED AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF. UPON TURNING IT BACK ON I HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL AND THE WRENCH LIGHT THAT PUT THE TRUCK IN SAFE MODE. ALSO THE MILEAGE WOULD FLASH ---- INSTEAD OF NUMBERS. I TOOK IT TO MIDWEST SUPERSTORE IN HUTCHINSON, KS AND THEY FOUND CODES P0720 & P0722 WHICH LEAD TO THE DIAGNOSIS BEING THE LEAD FRAME NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE LEADFRAME AND VALUE BODY ARE ONE PIECE AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACE TOGETHER. I FOUND THAT 2011-2013 FORD F150 HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND A RECALL 19S07 FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND INFORMED THEM THAT MY TRUCK IS DOING THE SAME EXACT THING AND THEY WILL NOT HELP DUE TO NO RECALL FOR THIS YEAR. CASE NUMBER [XXX]. THIS IS NOT HANDLED TO MY SATISFACTION AND IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE TRUCK WHEN STOPPING HAS WHAT IS CALLED A SLIP BUMP STOP. UPON TAKING OFF IF NOT FULLY STOPPED (LIGHT CHANGES) THE TRUCK DOESN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR TO GO INTO. WHEN IT DOES THIS, THE TRANSMISSION FORCES IT INTO A GEAR. WHEN IT DOES THIS, IT CHIRPS THE TIRES AND SLAMS THE TRANSMISSION HARD ALMOST LIKE A TRANSMISSION MOUNT IS BAD. MOUNTS ARE STILL GOOD. HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACED WHICH WAS RECOMMENDED BY MECHANIC AND SAID IT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT DID NOT. $160 WASTED. IT DOES NOT DO IT ALL THE TIME BUT AFTER THE TRUCK WARMS UP. THE SLIP BUMP STOP WHICH JERKS THE TRUCK FORWARD WHEN STOPPING ONLY HAPPENS WHILE IN GEAR. HOWEVER CAN PUT IN NEUTRAL AND STOP WITH NO PROBLEM. I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THE FULL CAUSE IS. EVERY MECHANIC HAS A DIFFERENT OPINION BUT THAT GETS VERY COSTLY. THE SLIP BUMP STOP HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH FORD FOR MANY YEARS AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED. I KNOW THIS TRUCK IS USED AND HAS HIGH MILES SO I CAN'T GET IT FIXED BUT IT SHOULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN FOR FORD AS THE TRUCKS LUNGE FORWARD WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH AND HAULING A BOAT, AN ABNORMAL SOUND WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WHEELS CEASED AND THE VEHICLE REDUCED SPEED INDEPENDENTLY BEFORE THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CORWIN FORD LOCATED AT 1225 N. AUTO PLEX WAY PASCO, WA 99301, HOWEVER THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT YET DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

WAS DRIVING MY F-150 TO WORK ON A CITY STREET AT A LOW SPEED LESS THAN 35 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK STALLED. IT COASTED TO WORK, WHEN I GOT OFF I PUT OIL IN IT AND IT STARTED AND DROVE NEARLY HOME. ONCE I GOT HOME ALMOST TO MY DRIVEWAY THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. I OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THERE WERE ISSUES WITH SPARK PLUG NUMBER 2. I REPLACED IT AND NOW THERE IS A HOLE IN THE PISTON AND A DROPPED VALVE. THIS VEHICLE IS NEEDING A WHOLE NEW ENGINE. DIAGNOSED BY DIERS FORD. VEHICLE NOT REPAIRED.

LUCKILY I WAS NOT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT HAVING WORKED FOR FORD THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND HAS NOW HAPPENED TO BOTH OF MY FORD TRUCKS. FORD MAKES LUG NUTS WITH ALUMINUM CASINGS THAT AFTER 1-5 USES BECOME SWOLLEN AND MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE LUG NUTS FROM VEHICLE ESPECIALLY IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHICH COULD RESULT IN SOMEONE TAKING MORE TIME THAN NEEDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD STRUGGLING TO BREAK SAID LUG NUTS LOOSE AND WILL RESULT IN SOMEONE BEING STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE.. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR 10 + YEARS. I HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS REPLACING THESE LUG NUTS. MULTIPLE OF WHICH HAD TO BE CUT OFF BY MECHANICS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING!!

SMELLED GASOLINE ODOR INSIDE VEHICLE AFTER CRANKING ON A COLD DAY. I DROVE IT FOR SEVERAL MILES. I PARKED IT. I WAS IN BUILDING FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. WHEN I CAME OUT, I SMELLED GAS OUTSIDE VEHICLE. AFTER LEAVING I THEN TOOK VEHICLE TO CROSSROADS FORD QUICKLANE IN CARY NC. THEY FOUND THE PLASTIC FUEL LINE HAD SPLIT LENGHTWISE ON TOP OF FUEL TANK. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS SPRAYING GAS. PART WAS APPARANTLY DEFECTIVE. I AM SURE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR FIRE OR EXPLOSION BECAUSE OF BEING NOT FAR FROM EXHAUST PIPE. PART REPLACED WAS 9L3Z-9S278-B. I AM WONDERING IF THERE HAVE BEEN UNEXPLAINED FIRES OR EXPLOSIONS BECAUSE OF THIS. REPAIR COST WAS $569.89

ON MY TRUCK THE PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAS RUSTED AND THE REAR BOLTS HAVE RUSTED OFF. THIS HAS CAUSED THE MANIFOLD TO LEAK RIGHT AT THE EXHAUST PORT. THIS LEAK FILLS THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE WITH EXHAUST FUMES. IT IS ALSO LEAKING PRE-CATALYST EXHAUST. THE FUELS IN THE CAB ARE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND WELL AS AN EMISSIONS ISSUE. RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON FORD TRUCKS OF THIS ERA. TALKING TO FORD ABOUT THIS THEY OFFER A VERY SMALL DISCOUNT ON THE SERVICE IF I HAVE IT DONE AT THE DEALER. I HAVE HAD TRUCKS FOR YEARS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS BEFORE. MY TRUCK IS A 2010 FORD F150 WITH 106,000 MILES ON IT.

WEATHER WAS 28 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. LEAVING WORK I TURNED ON MY REAR GLASS DEFROST AND ON MY 20 COMMUTE TO MY HOME ABOUT 1 MILE FROM MY HOUSE AT AROUND 4:20 AM CENTRAL STANDARD TIME MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE BACK GLASS SHATTERED. ALL I HEARD WAS A LOUD IMPACT SOUND LIKE SOMETHING HITTING MY ROOF AND WHEN I PULLED UP TO MY HOUSE AND FURTHER INSPECTED MY VEHICLE THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED MY REAR GLASS HAD SHATTERED AND WAS STILL CRACKING. I LOOKED FOR AN IMPACT MARK BUT FOUND NOTHING. BED OF TRUCK WAS EMPTY SO ONLY CONCLUSION IS THAT THE REAR DEFROST MAY HAVE GOT TO HOT WITH COLD GLASS BUT I REALLY DO NOT KNOW.

SEVERAL TIMES MY FORD F150 WILL SUDDENLY NOT START AND HAS LEFT ME STRANDED NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. ONE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP SO I REPLACED THAT. HOWEVER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. UPON RESEARCHING THE INTERNET, I DISCOVERED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. I TOOK THE REAR DEFROSTING RELAY AND PLACED IT IN FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AND THE TRUCK STARTED. HOWEVER, SEVERAL DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IN ORDER TO MOVE MY VEHICLE, I HAVE USED SEVERAL DIFFERENT RELAYS TO GET THE TRUCK TO START AND IT'S WORKED UP UNTIL YESTERDAY. I'VE BOUGHT NEW ONES AND IT STILL WOULDN'T WORK. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, I DECIDED TO CHECK THE FUEL PUMP FUSE AND IT WAS MELTED TO THE FUSE BOX. THIS MADE ME LOOK UP RECALLS AND TSB NO. 15-0137 SEEMS TO BE APPLICABLE. HOWEVER, WHEN I SEARCH MY VIN, MY VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED UNDER THE RECALL. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE.

WHILE DRIVING, SUDDENLY ALL WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING RANDOMLY, RADIO AND 4 WAY FLASHERS WENT ON. AFTER TURNING OFF THE TRUCK AND REMOVING THE KEY, THE PROBLEMS CONTINUED AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. TOWED IT TO A DEALER. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A BAD "SMART JUNCTION BOX", AND REPLACED "D MODULE".

DASH LIGHTS GO OUT WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING, ALSO ALL GAUGES ON DASH GO TO 0 (LIKE WHEN THE TRUCK IS SHUT OFF) AND THE A/C COMPRESSOR AND BLINKERS STOPS WORKING, THE FAN CONTINUES WORKING. THE ENGINE,BREAKS, HEADLIGHTS CONTINUE TO WORK. SOMETIMES IF YOU HIT THE DASH WITH YOUR FIST EVERYTHING WILL RETURN TO WORKING CONDITION. GOOD LUCK FIGURING THIS OUT BECAUSE FORD DEALERSHIP CAN'T.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL DETATCHED FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE ROAD SHOULDER, PUSHED THE STEERING WHEEL BACK IN, AND DROVE TO THE RESIDENCE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO BOLTED THE STEERING WHEEL BACK TO THE COLUMN. HERTRICH FORD (9617 OCEAN GTWY, EASTON, MD 21601) WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO HEADQUARTERS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

REAR GLASS SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING, THERE WAS NO OBJECT THAT IMPACTED THE GLASS. REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WAS ON WHILE IT SHATTERED. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 45F.

2010 F-150 WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT IN A RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS STARTED AT ABOUT 7 AM THE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 15 F. THE TRUCK WAS STARTED AND ALLOWED TO IDLE FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. WHEN THE DRIVER ENTERED THE TRUCK THE REAR DEFROST WAS STARTED. WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STILL PARKED AND ABOUT 1 MINUTE AFTER THE DEFROST BUTTON WAS HIT THERE WAS A LARGE POP. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE DRIVER'S SIDE PANEL OF THE REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING STRIKING THE WINDOW, AND THERE HAD BEEN NO VISIBLE DEFECTS TO THE WINDOW PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THE CAUSE APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO THE DEFROST BEING ACTIVATED IN THE COLD TEMPERATURE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE HAS VERY ROUGH SHIFTS, AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT WHILE STOPPING OR ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY FOR SMALL TIME, THE VEHICLE JERKS WITH A ROUGH SHIFT. ALSO WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE AT AN ACCELERATED SPEED ON A HIGHWAY SUCH AS 55-70 THE VEHICLE BEINGS TO SHAKE MORE SO THE TRANSMISSION AREA AS THOUGH THE GEARS ARE NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, AND AS THIS OCCURS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON.

MY 2010 FORD F-150 DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR FAILURE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR HANDLE COULD ALLOW THE DOOR TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE HANDLE ARE OUTSIDE HANDLE.THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.IAM A RETIRED SOLDIER THIS IS MY RETIREMENT GIFT TO MY SELF FOR 32 YEARS OF SERVICE.BUT THIS HAPPENED DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING.SO I NEED TO SEE IF IT A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. MY EMAIL IS [XXX].THE CLOSEST DEALER IS RIVERTOWN FORD IN COLUMBUS GEORGIA. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FORD F-150 AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR NO WARNING AT ALL, THANKFULLY NO ACCIDENT BUT WAS VERY SCARY, WASN'T VERY FAR AWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED SO WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME SAFELY.

THE NORMAL CAMSHAFT PHASER ISSUES ARE OCCURRING. LOUD KNOCKING, VIBRATING WHILE IDLING, AND GENERAL RATTLING FROM THE MOTOR WHEN THE TRUCK ISN'T ABOVE 1000 RPM'S. WHILE THIS MAY NOT DIRECTLY CAUSE ACCIDENTS, IN INTENSE RATTLING AND KNOCKING CAN CAUSE OTHER ISSUES TO ARISE WHICH IN TURN CAN CAUSE MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS FOR THE NHTSA. IF FORD DOESN'T DECIDE TO TAKE ON THIS ISSUE AND REPAIR IT, THEN IT CAN BE EXPECTED THAT EVERY 3 VALVE FORD MOTOR MADE SINCE 2005 WILL EVENTUALLY SUCCUMB TO THESE MAJOR ISSUES. AS WE ALL KNOW FORD HAS HAD ISSUES DESIGNING MOTORS IN THE PAST, PRIMARILY THE 6.0, 6.4 AND 5.4 MOTOR THAT I CURRENTLY OWN, BUT IT IS TIME FOR FORD TO STEP UP AND HANDLE THE MECHANICAL PROBLEMS THAT THEIR DESIGNERS NEGLIGENCE CAUSED. IT IS NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK THAT AN AUTO MANUFACTURER STANDS BY THEIR PRODUCT AND REPAIRS OR REPLACES THE FAULTY PART WHEN THE TIME COMES. ADDITIONALLY IN THE PART YOU WHEREIN YOU ASKED FOR THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT, I WILL PUT THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE BUT PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS ISSUE IS REOCCURRING AND YOU SHOULD EXPECT KNOCKING AND VIBRATION EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE.

SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY ON NOV 8TH, 2019 I STARTED UP MY 2010 FORD F150 PICKUP. I SAT IN THE TRUCK WHILE IT WAS WARMING. WE HAD FROST THE NIGHT PRIOR SO I TURNED ON THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER. NOT LONG AFTER THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE BACK WINDOW SHATTERED. IT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION. VERY SCARY. THE GLASS STAYED INTACT PRETTY MUCH BUT IT WAS ALL CRACKED. AFTER I PULLED MYSELF TOGETHER, AS I WAS TOTALLY UNPREPARED FOR SOMETHING OF THIS NATURE TO HAPPEN, I WAS PRETTY SHOOK UP. I DROVE TO MENARDS TO GET SOME PLASTIC TO TAPE IT UP. AS I DID THE PIECES OF THE WINDOW STARTED FALLING OUT, BOTH ON THE INSIDE AND THE OUTSIDE. THERE WAS GLASS EVERYWHERE. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO MANLEY MOTORS IN BELVIDERE , ILLINOIS WHERE THEY DOCUMENTED IT, AND ALSO FILLED OUT A FORM AND SUBMITTED TO FORD CORPORATE. I ALSO CALLED THE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND SUBMITTED A CLAIM. THE CLAIM NUMBER IS CAS24904981. MY 2010 FORD F150 IS OUT OF WARRANTY BY YEARS. NOT BY MILEAGE. I ONLY HAVE JUST OVER 50, 000 MILES ON IT. IT IS LIKE BRAND NEW STILL. THERE IS NOT A SCRATCH ON IT. IN FOLLOW UP WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE I WAS TOLD IT WILL NOT BE COVERED UNTIL NHTSA PROVIDES A RECALL FOR IT. THE LADY I SPOKE TO WAS WELL AWARE OF THE BACK WINDOWS BEING SHATTERED IN THESE PICK UP. FROM 2009 UP TO AND INCLUDING 2016. ITS UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY INSURANCE. I AM ON SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY, 61 YEARS OLD AND SINCE THIS REPAIR FOR PARTS AND LABOR IS NEARLY $1100.00 IT IS NOT IN MY BUDGET. IT WILL HAVE TO BE TAPED WITH PLASTIC FOR QUITE A WHILE

IT WAS SNOWING AROUND 6PM ON 11/11/2019 AND I BEGAN TO DRIVE. AS SOON AS I LEFT THE DRIVEWAY I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST. I GOT 1 MILE DOWN THE COUNTRY ROAD AND CAME UP TO A STOP SIGN. I STOPPED, AND JUST AS I RELEASED THE BRAKE TO BEGIN TO TAKE OFF, I HEARD A LOUD "POP" SOUND. SO THE GLASS BREAKAGE HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS JUST BEGINNING TO ROLL FORWARD. WHEN I HEARD THE POP, IT SCARED ME, AND I HIT THE BREAK AND PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK. I LOOKED BACK TO SEE WHAT HAD CAUSED THE NOISE AND SAW THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. IT WAS STILL INTACT, BUT THE GLASS WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. A FRIEND OF MINE HAD TOLD ME THAT THIS HAPPENED TO HIS 2011 F150 ALSO. SO ON 11/12/2019 I CALLED MY INSURANCE REP AND STARTED ALONG THE PATH TO GETTING IT FIXED. I NEED IT FIXED QUICKLY AS MY DAUGHTER'S CAR SEAT SITS IN THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT AND I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE A RISK OF HER BEING CUT BY THE BROKEN GLASS. I THEN CALLED SAFELITE AUTOGLASS. I SCHEDULED AN APPT FOR 11/18/2019 (EARLIEST THEY CAN GET ME IN). I WENT TO SAFELITE ON 11/12/2019 TO GET THE WINDOW CRASH WRAPPED. THE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT HE COULD NOT DO THE CRASH WRAP AS THERE IS NOTHING FOR THE WRAP TO HOLD TO. HE ALSO TOLD ME THE TINT IS DOING A BETTER JOB HOLDING THE WINDOW TOGETHER THAN HIS WRAP COULD. HE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS ODD THAT IT BROKE AND THAT HE DID NOT BELIEVE IT SHOULD HAVE SHATTERED LIKE IT DID. THE MANAGER ALSO LOOKED OVER THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE WINDOW AND NOTED HE SAW NO SIGNS OF DAMAGE. HE RECOMMENDED THAT I CALL A FORD DEALERSHIP AND SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL. I CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE WINDOW AND THERE WAS NOTHING FURTHER THEY COULD DO. THE DEALERSHIP THEN GAVE ME THE NUMBER FOR FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY ALSO SAID, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AS FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS.

UPON RESEARCH IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2009-2014 YEAR MODELS AND FORD ISSUED A TSB BUT NOT A RECALL. I HADN'T KNOWN ABOUT THIS WHEN PURCHASING THE TRUCK USED, AND IT IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000..*BF*JB

I SEE A LOT A FORD F150 OWNERS AFTER 80,000 MILES HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE STEERING JOINT IN THEIR TRUCKS THE STEERING STARTS STICKING AND STEERING GETS VERY HARD. IT'S JUST NOT MY TRUCK LOTS OF OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

HAVE A 2010 FORD 150 AFTER 5 YEARS AND NO WINTER USE I GOT BODY ROT ON THE RIGHT SIDE ,I PAID TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. NOW THE BED IS JUST ROTTING AWAY THE IS MY FIRST FORD AND LAST FOR THE MONIES PAID IT SHOULD LAST LONGER THEN THIS. THIS DOESN'T COUNT ALL THE OTHER MONEY I PUT INTO THE TRUCK. IT ONLY HAS 86,000 MILES DOSE FORD HAVE A RECALL ON SUCH A LOUSY BODY ON THERE TRUCKS. HELP COULD CHANGE MY OPINION OF FORD THANKS (XXXX) PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE REVERSING, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITH FORCE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO MOVE. CONSUMER STATED SHIFTING INTO SECOND GEAR BEGAN TO JERK THE TRUCK LIKE. I WAS BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. THE SAME JERKING SENSATION WAS FELT WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN REVERSE. THE ACCELERATOR NEEDED TO BE PRESS FAR DOWN FOR THE TRUCK TO MOVE IN REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LIBERTY FORD OF MAPLE HEIGHTS (5500 WARRENSVILLE CENTER RD, MAPLE HEIGHTS, OH 44137) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,189. *TT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IT RETURNED TO NORMAL SPEED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE BEGAN APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO AND HAD BECOME WORSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS WERE UNABLE TO UNLOCK OR OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000. .*BF. CONSUMER STATED BOTH DOORS WERE DOCKED DURING WINTER. ALTHOUGH, TOP DOOR RELEASES BUT THE BOTTOM DOES NOT. CONSUMER TAKING IT TO THE INDEPENDENT DEALER.*JB

SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY IN MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN OR PULLING A LOAD, THE VEHICLE WILL DOWN SHIFT MULTIPLE GEARS. INSTEAD OF A PROGRESSION OF ONE GEAR AT A TIME, IT IS A SUDDEN SHIFT FROM LE. FOURTH TO SECOND OR FIRST. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT REDUCTION AS MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A GEAR INDICATOR. IT OCCURS SPORADICALLY WITH NO WARNING. THIS ACTION HAS NEVER CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION BUT IS CONCERNING. THE ENGINE RPM HAS JUMPED TO THE RED LINE WHICH I FEEL MAY CAUSE ENGINE AND/OR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.

VEHICLE SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR AT 65MPH CAUSING SKID. THEN DOWNSHIFTED TO NEUTRAL.

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY AS THE ON COMING TRAFFIC SPEED LIMIT IS 50MPH, I'M PULLING OUT ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A SAFE DISTANCE BETWEEN CARS ON THIS BUSY ROAD AS I ACCELERATED MY 2010 F150 FX4 SUPER CREW CAB "WITH MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK I MIGHT ADD" THE TRUCK JUST DOWN SHIFTS AND IT SLAMS ME AND MY FAMILY FORWARD "LIKE I HIT A TREE GOING 30MPH" THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY AND A SYMBOL OF A WRENCH POPS UP ON THE DASHBOARD. WITH NO POWER STEERING, NO POWER BREAKS, NO WAY TO SAFELY MOVE THE TRUCK OFF THE ROAD AT THIS POINT DUE TO THE TRAFFIC I WAS TRYING TO AVOID WAS PASSING ME GOING AT LEAST 50MPH ALMOST GETTING REAR ENDED BY SEVERAL CARS AND SEMI TRUCKS, I PUSH THE FLASHERS ON AND PRAY THAT NOTHING BAD HAPPENS AND COAST UNTIL THE TRUCK FINALLY COMES TO A STOP AFTER ABOUT 30-45 SECONDS. I GET OUT OF THE TRUCK AFTER THE GROUP OF VEHICLES PASS BY AND INSPECTED TO SEE IF THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION WAS BLOWN UP OR LEAKING FLUID AND NOTHING AT THIS POINT SO I'M STRESSED OUT BECAUSE MY FAMILY AND I COULD HAVE VERY WELL DIED AND THERE IS NO PROOF OF THIS WHEN I RESTARTED THE TRUCK NO SYMBOLS WAS PRESENT WHEN INSPECTED BY A MECHANIC. I KEEP TELLING THE MECHANIC THAT IT HAS NO POWER ANY MORE, IT SOOOOO SLUGGISH I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE THE TRUCK MUCH ANYMORE, ONLY ON SHORT TRIPS TO THE STORE. WE HAD TO CANCEL OR VACATION AND CANCEL THE PURCHASE OF A CAMPER FOR OUR VACATION. I'M SORRY BUT IF FORD WAS A REAL SYMBOL OF SAFETY AND SECURITY OF ITS OWNERS THIS WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED FROM SECOND TO FIRST GEAR ON ITS OWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THAYER FORD (LOCATED AT 18039 N DIXIE HWY, BOWLING GREEN, OH 43402, (888) 440-5271) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

MY TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS AT VERY WRONG TIMES CAUSING MAJOR JERKING AND SUDDEN DECELERATION. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. IT IS RANDOM BUT IT HAS DONE IT ATLEAST 3 TIMES.

TRANSMISSION OR TORQUE CONVERTER CAUSES THE TRUCK TO SHAKES AND SHUDDER. IT ALSO DOWN SHIFTS AND IS A KICKING FEELING. AT TIMES FEELING LIKE SOMEONE HAS REAR ENDED YA. THROWS HEAD BACK IT'S SO VIOLENT. THE SHAKING AND SHUDDERING TYPICALLY STARTS AT AROUND 38-54 MPH. THEN FOR NO REASON AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS UP TO 80 MPH. ANYTIME THERE IS A UPHILL GRADE IT CONSTANTLY DOWNSHIFTS AND SHAKES EVEN MORE. THE SHUDDERS ARE SO VIOLENT THE MIRRORS CAN'T BE USED TO SEE ANYTHING. I CAN FEEL IT IN MY TEETH. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. HAVE TAKEN IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT WAS NEW. EVEN WHEN TALKING ON BLUETOOTH PHONE- OTHERS HAVE SAID THEY COULD HEAR IT OVER THE PHONE. FORD HAS REFUSED AND NEVER FIXED THIS PROBLEM AND TOLD ME THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO PROTECT ITSELF. WHAT BS. I'VE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE THAT DID THIS ON PURPOSE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FROM BEFORE 2010. WHY ISN'T MY YEAR MODEL TRUCK COVERED AND THOSE BEFORE MINE?? NOW THERE'S A RECALL FOR THIS VERY THING FOR 2011-2013 YEAR MODELS. MY TRUCK IS DANGEROUS AND A PAIN IN THE BUTT TO DRIVE. FORD NEEDS TO FIX ALL OF THE VEHICLES PRODUCED WITH THIS PROBLEM NOT JUST 3 YEARS. 🤬 I'M DOING THIS ON MY PHONE. I HAVE RECORDS AND IF NEEDED YOU CAN COME DRIVE WITH ME AND SEE FOR YOURSELF. SURE HOPE ME OR ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS DOESN'T GET HURT DRIVING THIS TRUCK BECAUSE OF THIS CRAP. SORRY, REALLY PISSED THAT FORD IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO GET AWAY WITH SCREWING FOLKS OVER. HAPPENS FROM 2010- TO PRESENT. (2019)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR AN IMPACT. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A MINOR INJURY TO THE LEFT EAR, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT DROVE TO KORF MOTORS FORD LINCOLN (520 E CHESTNUT ST, STERLING, CO 80751,(970)-522-1500) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON 2/5/19, AROUND 6:45AM, AND HAD THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST ON. WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, I HEARD A LOUD POP COMING FROM THE VEHICLE.THE SOUND WAS LOUD ENOUGH TO BE MISTAKEN FOR A GUN SHOT. AFTER TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE NOISE WAS, I NOTICED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY CRACKED. I WAS AMAZED THE ENTIRE WINDOW DIDN'T COLLAPSE INWARD. AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND INSPECTING THE WINDOW CLOSER, I WAS UNABLE TO SEE WHERE ANY FOREIGN OBJECT IMPACTED THE WINDOW. I BELIEVE THIS INCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST HEATING THE WINDOW TOO RAPIDLY AND CAUSING THE CLASS TO EXPAND TOO MUCH, CAUSING THE FAILURE.

THE STEERING GOT VARY TIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. THEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL BROKE WHILE ENTERING THE PARKING LOT.I COULD MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. BUT IT WAS NOT TURNING THE TIRES. THANKFULLY I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH I HAD JUST LEFT. IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY I WOULD NOT BE WRITING THIS COMPLAINT. BECAUSE I WOULD BE IN THE HOSPITAL OR DEAD!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND WAS UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO JOHN LEE NISSAN (LOCATED AT 120 E 23RD ST, PANAMA CITY, FL 32405, (850) 888-4611) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

FUSE 27 HAD FAILED TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE. REFER TO TSB NO. 15-0137 BUT FORD HAS NOT RECALLED

1. I AM NOT ALONE IN A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE FUEL CANISTER BEING A PROBLEM ON THE F150- I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS TWICE NOW- OTHERS IN THE FORUM ARE DOING THE SAME. THE VAPOR CANISTER IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BECOMES FAULTY AND THE ENGINES STALL OR RUNS ROUGH- WHEN IT STALLS, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. I GREW UP WITHOUT POWER STEERING- 97$ OUT OF POCKET- DEALER COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT- HAD ANOTHER MECHANIC DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR. IT'S A SIMPLE FIX- YET CAN BE DANGEROUS IF SOMEONE WITH STRONG ARM STRENGTH CANNOT TURN THE VEHICLE OR USE THE BREAKS. THIS HAS TO BE LOOKED AT.! I SHOULD HAVE BEEN REIMBURSED! WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED IS INEXCUSABLE- HAPPENED WITH JUST 35K MILES ON TRUCK. 2. SEEMS FORD HAS A MEGA DEFECT WITH BAD DESIGN ON THEIR F150 POWER REAR WINDOWS WITH THE HEAT GRIDS GOING BAD- THIS HAPPENED AT MAYBE THE SAME TIME, AND UNLESS I SPEND 1000 DOLLARS, I HAVE NO REAR-WINDOW DEFOGGING- THIS WAS NEARLY A 50K VEHICLE, AND JUST STARTED TO FALL APART AFTER THE WARRANTY. THIS IS A BAD DESIGN- IF ICE AND ALL IN THE SOUTH, MANY DO NOT HAVE THE PREPARATIONS FOR THIS (I GREW UP IN THE NORTH). I STILL CAN'T DEFROST MY REAR WINDOW), BUT HAVE A SCRAPER 3. HIGH MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT- SEEMS, FORD REFUSES TO FIX A BAD DESIGN FOR FAULTY HIGH MOUNT THIRD BRAKE LIGHT- CHEAP GASKET WILL FADE, AND MANY OF USE (MYSELF RECENTLY) HAVE PROBLEMS WITH WATER DRIPPING INSIDE THE CAB- 100 PLUS BUCKS FOR A NEW ONE? CAN'T EVEN BUY THE GASKET?? AND LET'S ADD TO THE FACT THE LIGHTS ARE SO BADLY DESIGNED, THEY COLLECT GRIME/CRAP AND JUST LOOK LIKE YUP. (BIGGEST CONCERN IS RUINING THE INTERIOR WITH WATER- I HAD A LOT OF WET RECENTLY- F150 FORUM IS PLASTERED WITH THESE PROBLEMS. THE FUEL CANISTER MAKING THE VESICLE STALL IS DANGEROUS. AND I FEEL FORD SHOULD ADDRESS THIS. (THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT IMPROVING THE OTHER ISSUES IN 2018. SHAME- NO QUALITY!~

VEHICLE WOULD STALL AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING. MECHANICS AT FORD ADVISED THAT IT WAS RELAY WIRE OR HARNESS WIRES FOR THE AIRBAG SENSORS THAT RAN THROUGH THE FUEL TANK WERE CORRODED OR SHORTED OUT. THEY REPORTED THAT THE ENGINEERS AT FORD MADE A BAD CALL WHEN THEY DECIDED TO RUN THE WIRES THROUGH THE FUEL TANK, WHICH IN TURN RESULTED IN ME HAVING TO DISH OUT 1500 BUCKS FOR THE REPAIR. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES PRIOR TO THE REPAIR ON A TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 53000 MILES AT THE TIME, BETWEEN DURING MARCH OR APRIL OF 2014 WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE USED TRUCK. LOST ALL POWER AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND ON SEVERAL ROAD TYPES INCLUDING HIGHWAY, HIGHWAY SERVICE ROAD, RESIDENTIAL STREET AND FARM TO MARKET ROAD, WHILE GOING STRAIT AND DURING TURNS, AFTER MULTIPLE EVENTS AND HAVING PUT LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT, I TOOK IT UP TO FORD. GRATEFUL THAT NO ACCIDENTS OCCURED DURING THE EPISODES I EXPERIENCED. I WAS ABLE TO COMETO A STOP, PLACE THE TRUCK IN PARK AND RESTART IT. TTINCE THE REPAIR NO ISSUES. LOVE THE F SERIES PICK UPS AND HAVE OWNED SEVERAL OVER A SPAN OF 18 YEARS AND ITS ALL MY DADS COMPANY USES. I KNOW ITS BEEN ALMOST 4 YEARS SINCE HAVING THE ISSUE BUT FELT LIKE I NEEDED TO SAY SOMETHING TO AT LEAST GIVE OTHERS A HEAD UP OR WARNING. NEVER SET WELL WITH ME. I STILL HAVE THE REPAIR PAPERWORK IF NEEDED.

I TOOK MY FORD F150 TO THE DEALER FOR A ROUTINE OIL AND TIRE ROTATION. THE SERVICE REP CAME TO ME AND SAID THAT IT WILL TAKE A LITTLE LONGER FOR SERVICE BECAUSE YOUR LUG NUTS ARE SWELLING. HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT I SHOULD PURCHASE NEW LUG NUTS BECAUSE A SPECIAL DEALER TOOL IS NEEDED TO REMOVE THE SWELLED LUG NUT. IF I HAVE A FLAT TIRE, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CHANGE IT DO TO THE SWELLED LUG NUTS WHICH WOULD REQUIRE A TOW TO A FORD DEALER. FORD KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE LUGNUTS SWELLING, WHICH IS WHY THEY HAVE A SPECIAL TOOL. THE SERVICE REP STATED THAT I COULD PURCHASE LUGNUTS FROM FORD AND WOULD BE CHARGED $500.00 FOR THE REPAIR. THE PROPER LUGNUTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS BUILT. THIS TO ME IS A SAFETY HAZARD WITH A POSSIBLE FUTURE ROADSIDE ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

REAR WINDOW GLASS EXPLODED WITH REAR DEFROSTER ON, DURING SNOW STORM

11/29/18 WILL BE THE 6TH TIME MY ENGINE SHUT OFF WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND MAKING A TURN. OTHER 5 INCIDENTS WERE ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. EACH OCCASION, SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP, ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE MAKING A TURN, AND I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL WHILE PRESSING BRAKES, STARTS UP, AND I KEEP GOING DOWN THE ROAD. 122K MILES, LOVE THE TRUCK BUT THIS HAS ME VERY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY RIDING IN THE TRUCK. I LOOKED UP ANY RECALLS BUT DID NOT FIND ANYTHING REGARDING THIS. F-150 FORUMS HAVE THE EXACT SAME INCIDENTS AND WHEN TAKING TO FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. PLEASE LET ME KNOW MY OPTIONS OF GETTING FORD TO DO SOMETHING.

STEERING GETS HARD AND EASY WHEN DRIVING SEEMS DANGEROUS?? OR SETTING TURNING DIFFERENT SPEEDS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30 TO 40 MPH, THE CONTACT FELT A VIBRATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

ONE SECTION OF THE HEATED AND POWER REAR WINDOW SHREDDED FOR NO REASON,HEARD A LOUD BANG WHILE DRIVING,DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED,PULLED ON SIDE THE ROAD CHECK MY TRUCK ALL AROUND NO VISIBLE DAMAGE GOT BACK IN THE TRUCK AND LOOK MY REVIEW MIRROR AND MY LEFT SECTION OF THE GLASS WAS ALL SHREDDED, BY THE WAY MY REAR DEFROSTER WAS ACTIVATED AT THE TIME.

THE STEERING SHAFT HAS TWO U JOINTS, THE ONE CLOSEST TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD SIEZED UP MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER, VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING A CAMPER AT HIGHWAY SPEED TO SAY THE LEASE. I HAD IT FIXED BY A FORD MECHANIC (PART WAS 300 BUCKS ALONE) AND HE SAID IT IS VERY COMMON ON THEM. I NOTICED A RECALL ON THE CROWN VICTORIAS FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON THE POLICE MODELS. WHY IS THERE NOT RECALL ON THE F 150?

SEVERE RUST ON ROCKER PANELS, DOORS AND BODY FRAME ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRUCK

REAR DEFROST GLASS SHATTERED AFTER USING THE REAR DEFROSTER. THE REAR DEFROSTER STOPPED WORKING BUT STARTED WORKING AGAIN, ONLY TO RESULT IN OVERHEATING AND SHATTERING THE GLASS. THE SHATTERING OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30-40 MPH, THE TEMPERATE WHILE COOL (AROUND 45 DEGREES). I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AND IT WAS DARK.

WHILE ON MY REGULAR COMMUTE TO WORK AS I DROVE ONTO THE HIGHWAY FRONTAGE ROAD I SLOWLY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE WHEN SUDDENLY MY TRUCK STARTED ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. SO MUCH SO THAT I WAS NO LONGER CONTROLLING ITS SPEED. REALIZING THIS I HAD TO APPLY BOTH FEET SIMULTANEOUSLY ON THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO SLOW THE VEHICLE ENOUGH TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL THEN FINALLY I WAS ABLE PUT IT IN PARK. UNBELIEVABLY THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AT HIGH RPMS EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN PARK. IT WASN'T UNTIL AFTER I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF THAT THE RPM'S STOPPED. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS I SAW SMOKE COMING FROM BOTH OF THE FRONT WHEEL WELLS. AS I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK I REALIZED THAT BOTH SETS OF BRAKES WERE ON FIRE. THIS CAUSED IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM AS THE COMPONENTS HAD BECOME EXTREMELY OVERHEATED. THE INSTANCE OF THE ENGINE RUNNING HIGH RPMS ALSO OCCURRED THE NIGHT BEFORE. HOWEVER THIS TIME MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. WE WERE IN A PARKED POSITION AFTER FUELING UP THE TRUCK AND WERE GETTING READY TO LEAVE THE GAS STATION. MY WIFE JUST APPLIED THE BRAKES AND PUT THE TRUCK BACK IN PARK THEN THE RPM'S CALMED DOWN. WE JUST KIND OF DISMISSED IT UNTIL LESS THAN 12 HOURS LATER THE ABOVE MENTIONED INCIDENT OCCURRED. COINCIDENCE I THINK NOT.

I WAS PARKED AT A FOOD STORE WHEN I PRESSES THE REAR DEFROST TO CLEAR UP THE FOGGED UP WINDOW. WHILE TALKING TO MY WIFE WE HEAR A LOUD BANG NOISE. I WALKED AROUND MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE REAR DRIVERS PANEL WINDOW SHATTERED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THREE YEARS AGO WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST AND THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW PANEL SHATTTERED. I NOTIFIED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP WITH ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, THE STEERING BECAME SO HEAVY THAT I WAS BARELY ABLE TO MAKE THE TURN AND WAS ALMOST HIT HEAD ON BY A VEHICLE ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 55. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, THIS APPARENTLY IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAD IT REPAIRED AND THE BILL WAS OVER $600.00. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL INITIATED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED WHEN THEIR POWER STEERING FAILS. IN A F150, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL WITHOUT POWER STEERING.

STEERING GETS EASY AND HARD WHEN IT'S WARM (75+) NOT POWER STEERING PUMP. RPMS HAVE NO IMPACT. NOT STEERING SHAFT, POWER STEERING PUMP, POWER STEERING FLUID, BALL JOINTS STEERING RACK... MECHANICS ARE AT A LOSS. ABOUT 33,000 MILES.

TAKATA RECALL. THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR IS ON

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CONTACT DROVE OVER A POTHOLE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. A PICTURE OF A BATTERY WAS DISPLAYED ON THE CENTER OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AFTER APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND OPERATED NORMALLY. HOWEVER, AFTER APPROXIMATELY THREE MILES, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER HE STRUCK THE FUSE BOX A FEW TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 198,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 15-20 MPH AROUND A CORNER OR OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL POPPING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (MORLAN SHELL FORD INC, 1824 PORTER WAGONER BLVD, WEST PLAINS, MO 65775, (417) 256-3193) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPRINGS, UNIVERSAL JOINT, AND BUSHING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WEHR FORD OF MOUNTAIN GROVE (11311 US-60 BUS, MOUNTAIN GROVE, MO 65711, (417) 926-3192) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SLIP YOKE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,400.

THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BROKE, PREVENTING THE PASSENGER FROM BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. IN AN EMERGENCY, THE PASSENGER WOULD BE UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WITHOUT SOMEONE OPENING THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. I RARELY HAVE PASSENGERS, OTHER THAN MY PRESCHOOL-AGED SON, WHO RIDES IN HIS CHILD SEAT IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. THERE IS A RECALL FOR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES FOR MY VEHICLE'S MODEL YEAR, BUT NOT FOR MY VIN FOR SOME REASON. PERHAPS THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED. THE FAILURE WAS NOTICED WHEN A PASSENGER WAS TRYING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT.

POWER STEERING CUTS. THIS LARIAT F150 2010 VEHICLE HAS 115000 MILES ON THE ENGINE. THIS HAPPENS INFREQUENTLY. IT CAN BE THE FIRST START IN THE MORNING OR A RESTART AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS RUN FOR HOURS. ALWAYS HAPPENS ON A RESTART, NOT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING.

5.4 & 4.6 3 VALVE ENGINE TAPPETT NOISE WHEN HOT ON MULTIPLE TRUCKS &SUV OCCURS JUST AFTER WARRANTIES ON MULTIPLE YEARS 2005 - 2012 THIS IS THE SECOND FORD I PURCHASED AND SHORTLY AFTER NOISE BEGINS

FROM DISCOUNT TIRE CO, I PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES ON FEBRUARY 5, 2018 TODAY, TREAD IS NOW BELOW THE LEGAL FOR SAFETY WITH ONLY 23,909 MILES ON THE TIRE. I WENT TO THE SAME DEALER LOCATION THAT PUT THE TIRES ON( LIVINGSTON, TEXAS) TO RECEIVE TERMS OF THE CERTIFICATE OR WARRANTY THEY DID NOT WANT TO HONOR EITHER WARRANTY FOR REPLACEMENT WITHOUT ME NEEDING TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL 400.00 . I AM WANTING TO RETURN MY TIRES SINCE OBVIOUSLY THIS IS EITHER A DEFECTIVE TIRE OR ONE OF BELOW AVERAGE QUALITY.

THE TRUCK WILL NOT START MOTOR TURNS OVER AND IIGNITION KEY STAYS STUCK IN THE RUN POSITION AND THE ENGINE WILL NOT START . FOUND THE FUSE THAT SUPPLIES POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. THE FUSE NUMBER 27 WITCH IS A 20 AMP OVER HEATS AND MELTS THE FUSE BOX. WHERE THE FUSE GET INSTALLED IN . FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS A REPAIR KIT FOR THIS PROBLEM WHICH IS FORD PART NUMBER EL3Z-14293 FUSE RELOCATION IN THE FUSE BOX TO A BIGGER 20 AMP FUSE NEW LOCATION 70 . THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM IN THERE ELECTRICAL FUEL SYSTEM

STEERING EFFORT IS HARD THEN EASY THEN HARD AS STEERING IS TURNED. HARD TO TURN WHEN PARKING. STEERING SHAFT U JOINT IS BAD.

WHEN SLOWING DOWN (AT AN INTERSECTION FOR EXAMPLE) TO MAKE A TURN THE VEHICLE DIES AND MAKES IT VERY, VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO TWO ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO STAY IN MY LANE DURING THE TURN. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A TRUCK SO DIFFICULT TO TURN WHEN THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING. ADDITIONALLY, THE TRUCK WILL NOT START AFTER FUELING. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND THE FORD DEALER (MADISON COUNTY FORD IN RICHMOND, KY) SAID IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I PUT FUEL IN THE TRUCK, IT WOULD NOT START. IT SAT A COUPLE OF DAYS AND STARTED. THE ENGINE WAS STOPPING JUST AS IT DID BEFORE. TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAD DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM PROPERLY. I SPEND $2,216 ON WHAT THEY SAID THE PROBLEM WAS AND IT WAS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE IS WHEN THE TRUCK DIES WHILE DRIVING AND IT CAN'T BE STEERED PROPERLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE RUNNING BOARDS WERE FRACTURED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FREEDOM FORD (3941 ADMIRAL PEARY HWY, EBENSBURG, PA 1593) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RUNNING BOARDS WERE FRACTURED, WHICH COULD CAUSE CARBON MONOXIDE TO ENTER THE CAB. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S REAR AXLE SEIZED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE SPIDER GEAR WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,821.

THE BUMPERS AND METAL UNDER THE DOORS ARE ROTTING OUT , THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 8 YEARS OLD. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED ,LOTS OF PEOPLE ON INTERNET ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED ABRUPTLY WITHOUT WARNING OR INDICATION AT 75MPH ON THE HIGHWAY LOCKING THE REAR TIRES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL ALMOST ROLLING OVER AND MAKING CONTACT WITH OTHER VEHICLES TRAVELING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSTICALLY CHECKED AND INSPECTED AT A FORD SERVICE CENTER. THEY INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL FAILURE TO REPAIR. THE TRUCK CURRENTLY OPERATES IN THE SAME MANNER AS IT DID PRIOR TO THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTING. IN MY OPINION, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITS THE SAME FAILURE MODE THAT FORD FIXED UNDER RECALL 16S19. THIS DESIGN FLAW IS EXTREMELY LIFE THREATENING AND HAZARDOUS. I HAVE PARKED MY VEHICLE. I CONTACTED FORD 4 TIMES AND EVEN THOUGH THAT 1 INDIVIDUAL FROM FORD DID INDICATE THAT MY VEHICLE WAS INDEED AFFECTED BY THE DESIGN FLAW ASSOCIATED WITH THE 16S19 RECALL, IT WAS NOT ON THE "LIST" OF VEHICLES TO BE RECALLED SO IT WILL NOT BE FIXED DUE TO A VIN NUMBER SELECTION METHODOLOGY THAT HE DIDN'T DISCLOSE. I HAVE NO WAY TO FIX THE VEHICLE. THE REASON IS BECAUSE NEW SOFTWARE MUST BE FLASHED ON THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE DESIGN FLAW AND I HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW IF THE NEW SOFTWARE ON THE PCM THAT WAS DEVELOPED FOR F150S THROUGH YEARS 2011 - 2013 IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE 2010 F150S AND FORD WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO TALK TO ANY TECHNICAL REPS TO DETERMINE IF THAT IS POSSIBLE. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE TECHNICIANS CANNOT DETERMINE SYSTEM SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY EITHER AND ARE EXTREMELY RISK ADVERSE TO DOING ANYTHING THAT WAS NOT APPROVED BY FORD CONSIDERING THE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE AND OTHERS LIKE IT ARE JUST TICKING TIME BOMBS ON THE HIGHWAY. MINE WILL BE PARKED UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE BY NHTSA OR FORD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED TO START AND THE VEHICLE STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. ON ONE OCCASION, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, RESTARTED THE ENGINE, AND REGAINED NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE ENGINE FAILURE PERSISTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE LOCATED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC RESEARCHED THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE ENGINE FUSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE FUSE WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO FAIL TO START AND STALLED WHEN DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ENGINE SHUT OFF. WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF. AND I ROLLED ACROSS INTERSECTION, LOST BRAKES AND STEERING. IN MOTION MOST OF THE TIME. ON CITY STREETS.

REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER, DOESN'T WORK. THERE IS A MAJOR MALFUNCTION WITH F-150'S CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. IS THE GOVERNMENT GONNA LET FORD SLIDE BY AGAIN ON THIS? WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE.

IVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM NOW TWICE IN A ROW WITH THE FUEL PUMP 20A FUEL IN THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD GETTING HOT AND MELTING THEN BLOWING THE FUSE. THIS FUSE IF IT HADN'T BLOWN WOULD HAVE CAUGHT THE FUSE BOX ON FIRE. FORD MAKES A KIT TO BYPASS THE TINY FUSE TO RELICATE IT TO A LARGER FUSE IN AN OPEN SPOT. THERE ARE MULTIPLE OTHERS IN NUMEROUS FORUMS WHO STATE THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD HAS NEVER ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE THAT CAN TURN BAD IF THE FUSE DOES NOT POP.

2012. WENT TO GREAT LAKES FORD LUDINGTON MI. PAINT ON ROCKER PANEL WAS BLISTERING UP WITH WATER UNDERNEATH. AT WHERE THE DOORS LATCH ON HOOK .THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING.IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. NOW RUSTING VERY BAD CALLED IN 4/17/18. FORD STILL WILL NOT DO ANYTHING . I NOW PUT OIL ON IT TO SLOW IT DOWN .IM VERY WORRIED THAT IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. THAT THE DOORS WILL COME OPEN. IT'S. ON BOTH SIDES . I HAVE 103000 MILES ON IT. THE SEAT BELTS GO THROUGH THE DOORS SO IF THE DOORS OPEN I WOULD BE OUT OF THE TRUCK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

AFTER TURNING ON THE REAR DEFROSTER, THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR GLASS PANEL SHATTERED.

THE ROCKER PANELS ARE RUSTED BADLY. THE ROCKER PANEL KEEPS THE DOORS CLOSED. WHEN THE RUST GETS TO THE POINT WHERE THE LATCH IS THE DOORS WILL NOT STAY CLOSED. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED YET BUT IT APPEARS THIS WILL HAPPEN IN THE NEAR FUTURE. WITH THE RUST THIS BAD I AM VERY CONCERNED IF THERE WOULD EVER BE A SIDE IMPACT TO THE VEHICLE. I FIRST NOTICED THE RUST IN THE LATE FALL OF 2017.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START WHEN PROMPTED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE STALLED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. BOB SIGHT FORD IN LEE'S SUMMIT, MISSOURI WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REQUESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE BROUGHT IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CITED TSB NUMBER: 15-0137 AS A POTENTIAL GUIDE FOR REPAIR OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000. *TT

STEERING COLUMN BROKE AT STEERING WHEEL KNUCKLE LEAVING IT UNABLE TO STEER. MADE WITH CHEAP PLASTIC CAUSING WRECK. I WAS ON A COUNTRY RD WERE I VEERED INTO A BRIDGE COLUMN

DRIVING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES WHEN I TURNED ON DEFROSTER BECAUSE WINDOWS WERE FOGGING. APPROXIMATELY ONE MINUTE LATER I HEARD A LOUD POP AND NOTED THAT MY REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. I WAS IDLING AT A STOP IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THE WINDOW SHATTERED.

ENGINE CRANKS BUT DOES NOT START ONE MORNING. FOUND FRIED FUEL PUMP FUSE WAS THE ISSUE. NOT A BLOWN FUSE. A FRIED FUSE. BLACKENED AND CHARRED.

TRUCK WAS BROUGHT IN FOR MINOR RUST ON INSIDE PANELS OF BACK DOORS, WHERE THE DOOR CLOSES. BODY SHOP STATED THAT MAYBE THE DRAIN CHANNEL WAS BLOCKED. UPON PICKING THE TRUCK UP AFTER REPAIR I WAS TOLD THAT THE ROCKER PANELS ON BOTH SIDES WERE SO RUSTED OUT THEY WERE BEYOND REPAIR. THEY STATED IT LOOKS LIKE THE TRUCK SAT IN WATER FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW FROM A DEALER IN AMELIA OH 43011 I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE WEB AND IT SEEMS THIS IS COMMON ON FORD TRUCKS. I WILL COST ME 4900$ TO REPAIR; THE TRUCK LOOKS BRAND NEW AND I HAVE KEPT IT IN VERY, VERY GOOD CONDITION. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD BUT THEY WILL NOT HELP, THEY STATED NO RECALL OR WARRANTY ISSUES HAVE BEEN REPORTED AT THIS TIME. WHY HAVEN'T THEIR ENGINEERS CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM?

RECENTLY DISCOVERED MAJOR DAMAGE DUE TO RUST AND ROT OF CAB PINCH WELD AT ROCKER PANELS ON BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES EXTENDING FRONT TO BACK. 2010, FORD F-150, CREW CAB, 51,000 ORIGINAL MILES. MY COMPLAINT WAS FORMALLY ADDRESSED AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED. THEY NOTED (VEHICLE IS VERY CLEAN......). MY CONCERNS WERE FORWARDED TO CORPORATE WITH RESPONSE BEING 'OUT OF FIVE YEAR WARRANTY'. HAVING FOUND MYSELF IN A DILEMMA I HAD AN AUTO BODY TECHNICIAN VIEW THE DAMAGE AND HIS ADVICE WAS TO TRADE THE VEHICLE. THE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE IS NOT THE RESULT OF NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THIS DOESN'T TAKE A BODY TECHNICIAN TO RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM IS DUE TO INFERIOR PRODUCT OF POOR WORKMANSHIP.

TAKATA RECALL- MY VEHICLE IS APPROACHING THE 2ND ANNIVERSARY SINCE THE TAKATA AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL AND A REMEDY IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. A LETTER I RECEIVED FROM THE MANUFACTURER, RECOMMENDED I NOT TRANSPORT FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS. THIS IS UNREALISTIC AND UNPRACTICAL, BUT I DO NOT FEEL CONFIDENT TRUSTING THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND ACQUAINTANCES WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM ISSUES THIS VEHICLE HAS.

I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUCK UNTIL NOW. LATELY I T'S NOT BEEN CRANKING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. SOMETIMES IT CRANKS FINE AND SOMETIME IT DOESN'T. I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE AND THEY GOT A COMMUNICATIONS CODE. I'VE HEARD A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. I'VE ALSO BEEN TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN ON YOU WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST STEERING FUNCTIONALITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO JARRETT SCOTT FORD (2000 E BAKER ST, PLANT CITY, FL 33563, (813) 752-4171) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING ROD HAD FRACTURED AND SEPARATED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL.

BULKHEAD SWITCH LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID.

ON NUMEROUS OCCASION, REGARDLESS OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS OR OTHER VARIABLES, MY 2010 F150 WILL STALL OUT RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. I LOSE POWER STEERING, THE BRAKES LOCK UP AND I AM UNABLE TO ACCELERATE TO MOVE MY TRUCK OUT OF HARMS WAY ON THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS DURING TIMES WHEN THE TRUCK IS MOVING AS WELL AS STATIONARY. IT CAN HAPPEN DURING TURNING, SLOWING DOWN, ACCELERATING, IN FACT IT IS HARD TO PIN POINT A CONSISTENT PATTERN OF WHEN IT OCCURS. I WAS NEARLY INVOLVED IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND FIND IT VERY DISTURBING THAT THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ON MANY OTHER FORD TRUCKS AND YET NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN. THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EVEN AFTER NUMEROUS TRIPS TO THE SHOP AND A LOT OF MONEY SPENT TO HAVE IT FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED WHEN THE DEFROSTER WAS ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

DRIVING ON COUNTY ROAD USING REAR DEFROSTER AND THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED ON THE PASSENGR SIDE. EXTREMELY LOUD BOOM LIKE A GUN SHOT SOUND. NO HOLE IN GLASS JUST SHATTERED BUT STILL IN FRAME.

THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW LITE (GLASS) ON MY 2010 F-150 SVT RAPTOR SHATTERED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED RUNNING AND THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS ON. THE SHATTERED GLASS STAYED IN PLACE, BUT REQUIRES THE COMPLETE REAR WINDOW TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A COMMON REPORTED ISSUE ONLINE WITH FORD TRUCKS OF THIS AGE, WHERE FORD WILL NOT ISSUE A DEFECT REPLACEMENT.

FORD F-150 WILL NOT START INTERMITTENTLY. THE ENGINE CRANKS BUT WILL NOT START. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED WITH FUSE #27 OVER HEATING BUT NOT BLOWING. FUSE #27 IS THE FUSE FOR THE FUEL PUMP DIVER MODULE. THE ENGINE HAS NOT DIED ON ME WHILE IN MOTION THOUGH THERE ARE MULTIPLE OTHER INSTANCES OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE HAD THEIR VEHICLE DIE ON THEM. (HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-C21953_DS740770) I WORRY THAT I WON'T BE SO LUCKY AS TO HAVE THE ISSUE ONLY HAPPEN WHILE PARKED AND IT ONLY BE AN INCONVENIENCE. FORD HAS ISSUED A TSB FOR 2009-2014 F-150S, TSB 15-0137 TO RELOCATE THE FUSE. I RECOMMEND NHTSA ORDER FORD TO RECALL OF ALL TRUCKS POSSIBLY AFFECTED SO THIS DOES NOT CREATE AN ACCIDENT IN THE FUTURE.

FUEL PUMP FUSE BLOWS WITHOUT PROVOCATION LEAVING VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER. WENT OUT TO START VEHICLE AND IT WOULD ONLY TURN OVER BUT NEVER START. FOUND THIS TO BE A CONSISTENT PROBLEM ON THE WEB AND WAS ABLE TO REPLACE THE FUSE AND VEHICLE STARTED IMMEDIATELY.

IN 10/2016, MY STEERING FLUID BEGAN LEAKING AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY STEERING RACK WAS FAULTY. AS FORD DID NOT HAVE THIS PART AVAILABLE, I WAS FORCED TO ACCEPT AN INFERIOR AFTER-MARKET PART AND INCURRED A WHOOPING BILL OF $1,400 FOR THE FIRST REPAIR! AS OF TODAY, 1/18/2018, MY TRUCK IS BACK AT THE FORD GARAGE FOR REPLACEMENT OF MY 6TH AFTER-MARKET PART WHICH ALSO LEAKED AFTER INSTALLATION. I WAS INFORMED IN FEBRUARY 2017 THAT FORD WOULD HAVE AN ACTUAL FORD STEERING RACK, BUT ALMOST ALMOST A YEAR LATER, I'M BEING FORCED ONCE AGAIN TO ACCEPT AN INFERIOR AFTER-MARKET PART. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE THE INCONVENIENCE OF HAVING ONLY ONE VEHICLE, BUT WE WILL AGAIN HAVE AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR BILL WHICH WE SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING. MOST OF ALL, THE SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVED IN OUR SITUATION IS THE MOST CONCERNING AS THIS FLUID LEAKS ONTO THE HIGHWAY, AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT MY ABILITY TO STEER MY TRUCK COULD AT ANYTIME BE COMPROMISED RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD A TICKING AND KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A ROCKER ARM OR ROD MALFUNCTION. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO CALL NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

CAB LEAKS AFTER RAIN CAN BE A MOLD ISSUE SOME TIME WHEN TURNING GOING OFF CURBS OR HITTING MONTHS YOU HEAR A BANGING NOISE THE DRIVESHAFT IT WILL POP WHEN TAKE OFF I HAD IT GREASE BY FORD LITTLE BIT BETTER ONCE IN AWHILE STILL DOES. ALL THIS STILL GO ON

THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED AFTER TURNING ON THE REAR DEFROSTER. THE PASSENGER PORTION OF THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. THIS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MINUTES AFTER TURNING ON THE DEFROSTER. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE LOW 20S. THERE WAS AN EXTREMELY LOUD BANG AND THEN WE NOTICED THE GLASS WAS SHATTERED.

IN ADDITION TO THE 2013 FORD F150 TRANSMISSION RECALL, I HAVE A 2010 F150 THAT HAD THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHERE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS TO FIRST GEAR AT SPEED. I WAS GOING 70 MPH WITH MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER ON A VIRGINIA INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHEN MINE DROPPED FROM 6TH TO 1ST GEAR IN AUGUST 2011. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND SAFELY GET IT OFF THE ROAD, BUT THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON LONGER THAN THE CURRENT RECALL REPORTS. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD SHOULD ADDRESS, SINCE MY TRANSMISSION STILL HAS A HARD SHIFT FROM TIME TO TIME, SO I DON'T FEEL THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE MEGATRONICS UNIT (TWICE), AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER, BUT IT IS STILL THE SAME TRANSMISSION AND DRIVE TRAIN WHICH I STILL FEEL IS NOT 100% FIXED. I SEE NOW THAT THE RECALL MIGHT BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE 2011 AND 2012 F150S, BUT I FEEL IT SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THOSE 2010 MODELS TOO, SINCE I HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2010 F150.

TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR AT TIMES. OCCASIONALLY IT DOWNSHIFTS AND THE TRUCK SLOWS DOWN FAST, OTHER TIMES IT FEELS LIKE IT JUST SLIPS OUT OF GEAR ALTOGETHER INTO NEUTRAL, THEN THE ENGINE RPMS GO HIGH AND THE TRUCK SLOWS DOWN. BOTH TIMES, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION GOES BACK INTO GEAR, IT CREATES A LARGE THUMP SOUND AND THE TRUCK JUMPS, OCCASIONALLY SPINNING MY TIRES. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND WHILE DRIVING FROM A STOP SIGN/LIGHT AND HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK. AT LEAST 10 TO 15 TIMES PER MONTH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING, THE DOOR AJAR INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, INDICATING THAT THE DOOR WAS AJAR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS WERE CLOSED. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, HE NOTICED THAT THE WIRES WERE FRACTURED. THE CONTACT CALLED CLONINGER FORD OF MORGANTOWN AT (828) 584-4600(1001 JAMESTOWN RD, MORGANTOWN, NC 28655) AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SHUT OFF, AND RESTARTED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER (BRANDON FORD, 9090 E ADAMO DR, TAMPA, FL 33619) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 186,000.

TURNED ON MY REAR DEFROSTER AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. ABOUT TWO MILES DOWN THE ROAD THE BACK SPLIT WINDOW BLOWS OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2010AND2011 F150. THIS IS A LOT OF MONEY TO REPLACE ON SOMEONE'S DIME THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM.

MY 2010 F150 STARTED GETTING CARBON MONOXIDE COMING THROUGH THE CABIN HEATING SYSTEM. THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND BOLTS BREAKING DUE TO RUSTING OUT AND ALLOWING CARBON MONOXIDE TO SEEP INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND INTO THE CABIN. I AS THE DRIVER BECAME ILL FOR 2 DAYS AS I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THE POISON WAS COMING INTO THE CABIN AT FIRST. I HAD A 70 MILE HIGHWAY DRIVE TO GET HOME. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD SEVERE RUSTING THROUGHOUT THE DRIVE TRAIN STARTING AT 3 YEARS OLD. FORD HAS NEVER ACCEPTED ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. I WANT TO BE CLEAR ON THIS AS IN HOPES OF NOT HAVING THIS HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. I FEEL I COULD HAVE DIED FROM THIS POISONING. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE DO THIS, ESPECIALLY ONE AS NEW AS THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WHEEL WELLS AND PANELS WERE ABNORMALLY HANGING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE AREAS WHERE THE COMPONENTS WERE LOCATED WERE SEVERELY CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHATHAM FORD (781 MAIN ST, SHATHAM, MA, 02633) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SEVERE CORROSION. THE DEALER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,757.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A SINGLE-VEHICLE ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE VEHICLE STRUCK A POLE DEAD CENTER ON THE FRONT BUMPER, SPEED APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, COLLAPSING THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS DUE TO THE EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS ACCIDENT RESULTED IN FRACTURES TO RIBS, STERNUM, AND 2 VERTEBRAE.

STRONG EXHAUST FUMES IN CAB SINCE FALL 2016 DEALER UNABLE AND/OR UNWILLING TO DEAL WITH IT. I WAS TOLD TO HAVE A WINDOW OPEN AND AIR CIRCULATION ACTIVE. HOWEVER THE A/C IS AFFECTED NOW ALSO. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT GIVES ME A HEADACHE IN A SHORT TIME

MY HIGH SCHOOL DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING OUR 2010 F150 ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL TODAY AND IT FAILED IN THE LEFT TURN LANE AT A BUSY INTERSECTION, AND IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. PEOPLE WERE HONKING THEIR HORNS AND MY DAUGHTER MISSED CLASSES. SHE COULD HAVE BEEN RE-END AND INJURED FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A GARAGE AND THEY SAID IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE RELATED TO A FUSE/FUSE BOX WIRE AND THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A FUSEBOX BYPASS KIT THAT FORD HAS PUT TOGETHER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED. HTTPS://CA.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-C21953_DS740770. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! SHE COULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED AND INJURED FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE! REPAIR COST TO INSTALL FORD'S BYPASS KIT WAS $360. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND DID NOT NOTIFY US TO MY KNOWLEDGE.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAKING, AND COULD BE GETTING INTO THE CAB.

LIKE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS, DRIVING AND PUT REAR DEFROSTER ON AND A MINUTE LATER HEARD A GUNSHOT LIKE NOISE AND MY BACK REAR RIGHT WINIDOW EXPLODED. DOGS IN THE BACKSEAT, WAS NOT PRETTY AND SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME WHILE DRIVING. ISN'T THERE A RECALL ON THIS YET?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. AFTER FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES BEFORE FINALLY SUCCEEDING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY SIX OTHER TIMES AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE 20 AMPS FUEL RELAY FUSE AND THE HIGH POWER RELAY WERE DAMAGED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

FRONT BRAKES, FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. PUT NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS ON IT AND 6 MONTHS LATER DOING THE SAME THING. I KEEP HAVING TO TIGHTEN LUG NUTS BECAUSE OF IT. FORD SERVICE ADVISOR SAYS UNFORTUNATELY YEAR MODELS 2009- 2014 HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ROTORS WARPING AND FORD PARTS OR AFTER MARKET PARTS WILL NOT FIX IT. HE SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM IN 2015 BUT THERE THERE IS NOT A FIX FOR MY YEAR MODEL? I DRIVE THE INTERSTATES A LOT AND I AM AFRAID A WHEEL IS GOING TO COME OFF.

MANIFOLD BOLTS RUSTING OFF ON 4.6L 3V ENGINE. THIS CAUSES EXHAUST LEAK UNDER HOOD AND EXCESSIVE HEAT TO THE OTHER PARTS NEAR THE ENGINE. BECAUSE SMELL IS APPARENT AT IDLE.

MY TRUCK CRANKS BUT WON'T START. THE FUSE TO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS BLOWN. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY TRUCK OWNERS AND FORD IS OFFERING A BYPASS KIT FOR THIS SYSTEM FOR $400-$500. SHOULDN'T THIS BE A RECALL IF THEY'RE HAVING TO INSTALL A BYPASS KIT?

PASSENGER SIDE PANEL OF POWERED REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WITH A LOUD BANG. THIS WAS IN AN OEM PART REPLACED FOR THE SAME REASON IN 2014. I DID NOT HAVE THE DEFROST ON . I MADE A 4 MILE ROUND TRIP AND AS I PULLED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND TURNED OFF THE KEY IT WENT.

THE 20 AMP FUSE FOR THE FUEL PUMP IS MELTING IN THE FUSE BLOCK. THIS IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY FORD DEALERS. THIS 2010 YEAR IS THE PROBLEM EVERYONE IS HAVING. FORD HAS YET TO HAVE A RECALL BUT WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS IT IS NOT GOING TO LONG UNTIL SOMEONE IS STRANDED AND THEY BYPASS THE FUSE AND START A FIRE. FORD DOES NEED TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM .I DO NOT HAVE ANY PICTURES OF MINE I CHANGED OVER THE WEEKEND BUT THERE IS PLENTY ON LINE THAT IS HOW WE FOUND WHY MY TRUCK WOULD NOT START. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A FIRE MAY START FROM THIS MELTING OF THE FUSE BLOCK.

TPMS MODULE CONTINUALLY LOOSES CONTACT WITH WHEEL SENSORS AND DISPLAYS "TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR FAULT" IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. DISCOUNT TIRE HAS REPLACED AND RESYNCED THREE TIMES AND IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THE FAULT USUALLY OCCURS WHEN ON THE FREEWAY. ABOUT 30 DAYS AFTER HAVING IT FIXED. THE OTHER ISSUE IS CONTINUAL PROBLEMS WITH THE APIM MODULE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN IF YOU'RE UNABLE TO MAKE A PHONE CALL BECAUSE YOU'RE HAVING CONSTANT BLUETOOTH ISSUES. IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THROUGH A GOOGLE SEARCH THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MODEL AND VINTAGE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, AND FORD IS TRYING THEIR BEST TO BLAME PEOPLES PHONES FOR CAUSING PROBLEMS RATHER THAN ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. MY TRUCK IS IN THE DEALER HAVING THIS ISSUE LOOKED AT FOR A THIRD TIME NOW. I'M FINALLY GETTING THEM TO REPLACE THE APIM UNDER MY EXTENDED FACTORY WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL KNOCKING NOISE PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO RECOMMENDED THAT THE ENGINE BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (ANDY MOHR FORD, LOCATED AT 2684 E MAIN ST PLAINFIELD, IN 46168). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH THE REAR DEFROST ON THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW (THERE ARE THREE WITH CENTER ONE POWERED) SHATTERED. THERE WAS A LOUD POP AND THE WINDOW WAS CRACKED INTO HUNDREDS OF PIECES. WINDOW WAS STILL IN PLACE. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF IMPACT ON THE WINDOW. THE VEHICLE WAS GOING ABOUT 50 MPH ON PA 75 (2 LANE HIGHWAY) NEAR CLAY LICK, PA IN A FAIRLY STRAIGHT STRETCH OF ROADWAY.

AIRBAG LIGHTS FOR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES RANDOMLY COME ON WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELTS ARE RANDOMLY LOCKING DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. ENGINE CODE FOR FAULTY SEAT BELT TENSIONER SENSOR FOR PASSENGER SIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. UPON INSPECTION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE BOTTOM CORNER OF THE CABIN WAS RUSTED AND CORRODED. IN ADDITION, THE ROCKER PANELS WERE RUSTED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

AFTER REFUELING VEHICLE WILL BE HARD TO START, AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS AND USING GAS PEDAL TO FORCE AN IDLE IT WILL START, PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS AGAIN AFTER REFUELING. THIS IS COUPLED WITH SUDDEN ENGINE CUT OFF AT LOW SPEEDS. DEALER IS CLUELESS AS TO A FIX FOR EITHER. I CONSIDER THE SUDDEN SHUT OFF TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, PARTICULARLY DRIVING IN MOUNTAINS AS I DO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SUDDENLY FRACTURED. THE CONTACT REACHED OUT TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT WINDOW REPAIR COMPANIES WHO STATED THAT THE ENTIRE WINDOW NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

FORD F150 4X4 XLT, DASH BOARD KEEPS GOING OUT. SHOWS SKIDDING, AND TIRE SENSOR FAULTY, DINGGING, A/C GOES HOT, INSIDE LIGHTS DON'T WORK. HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES, SPOKE WITH FORD TOOK IT IN, THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, WHICH WE HAVE FOUND OUT IS A LIE. THEY STATED WE NEEDED A NEW BATTERY, WHICH WE HAD TESTED AS WELL AS THE ALTERNATOR AND NOTHING WRONG THERE EITHER. WE TOOK IT TO ADVANCED AUTO TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD TELL US. A YOUNG MAN SAID THAT FORD HAD PUT OUT A INSIDE NOTICE THAT HIS BUDDY SHOWED HIM OF A FAULTY WIRING HARNESS IN THE DASH. HE ASKED IF HE COULD SHOW US A SHORT TERM FIX...HE SMACKED THE DASH AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. IF WE HIT A BUMP IT WILL DO IT AGAIN, OR ON REALLY HOT DAYS, BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. WE ARE WAITING ON FORD TO RECALL THIS AS IT IS A SERIOUS HAZARD AND MAYBE START FIRES. AS SOMETIMES YOU SMELL ELECTRICAL, THIS HAPPENS DAILY WHEN EVER WE DRIVE THE TRUCK, YOU CAN HAVE A WRECK TRYING TO SMACK IT HARD ENOUGH TO GET IT TO COME BACK ON. THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE SITTING IN THE TRUCK , DRIVING, OR WHEN YOU GO TO START IT UP...YOU WILL HAVE NO GAUGES, LIGHTS A/C OR HEAT IN THE WINTER. YET THE OUTSIDE LIGHTS WILL WORK, YET WHEN YOU PUSH THE BRAKES YOU HEAR A LOUD CLICKING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR APPROX. 2.5 YRS +...FORD NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THIS. EVERYDAY WE DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEMS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. WE BROUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW AND IT FIRST DID THIS AROUND 23,000 MILES. NOW AT JUST OVER 50,000 MILES. THERE ARE TIMES THAT SMACKING THE DASH DOES NOTWORK AND WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO COME ON, THOSE TIME YOU HAVE TO RUN WITH TRAFFIC OR IF OTHERS ARE PASSING YOU NEED TO SPEED UP. VERY DANGEROUS

I HAVE NOTICED OF F150 FORUMS THAT FROM 09 TO 2013 ON THE CREW CAB THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE TRUCK OR THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRUCK WITH I WOULD THINK IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN.

BRAKES DID NOT WORK WITHOUT WARNING AS FORD F150 2010 PULLED FROM THE DRIVEWAY. PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT ANY BRAKE FUNCTION OR WARNING LIGHT. STOPPED THE TRUCK WITH PARKING BRAKE. TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. BRAKES WORKED HOURS BEFORE IN TRAFFIC. THE DEALERSHIP EXCHANGED THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER, IN WHICH THE BRAKE CYLINDER LEAKED FLUID INTO.

ON THE CREW CAB THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM EITHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE TRUCK VERY UNSAFE IF YOU HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE BACK SEAT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL RATTLING NOISE WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED.

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILS AT START UP NOT COME ON NO SPEEDOMETER OR ANYTHING ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AS WELL AS SOMETIMES IT WONT START

THE INSIDE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE LEAVING THE DOOR UNABLE TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. FORD STATES THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I SAID IT IS AN ABSOLUTE SAFETY HAZARD AS THE PASSENGER IS UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY AND ANY REPAIR SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE.

SINGLE OWNER 2010 FORD F-150 FX4 WITH 58,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY (I-10 IN PHX) AT ROUGHLY 70 MPH DURING RUSH HOUR WHEN SUDDENLY THE TRUCK LURCHED AS IF I HAD JUST DRIVEN THROUGH A DEEP PUDDLE. A FEW SECONDS LATER AS I WAS LOOKING IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP AND THE TRUCK BEGAN SKIDDING UNCONTROLLABLY; THERE WERE 3 TO 4 DISTINCT SKIDS LASTING APPROXIMATELY 1 TO 2 SECONDS AT A TIME AS I RECALL. LUCKILY FOR ME THE SEMI-DRIVER BEHIND ME WAS PAYING PROPER ATTENTION TO THE ROAD AND NOTICED ME SKIDDING TO A HALT DESPITE THE ABSENCE OF BREAK LIGHTS. HE SWERVED AND NARROWLY MISSED REAR-ENDING MY VEHICLE AT FULL HIGHWAY SPEED. AFTER THE SEMI PASSED I BEGAN TO LIMP OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 25 MPH AT THIS POINT, AND I RECALL A FEW MORE JERKY UPSHIFTS AND DOWNSHIFTS WHILE PULLING OVER. BY THE TIME MY TRUCK WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY THE DASHBOARD WRENCH INDICATOR WAS ON AND PRESSING THE GAS PEDDLE HAD NO EFFECT. THE TRUCK HAD DISCONNECTED THE THROTTLE SENSOR INPUT FROM THE FUEL INJECTORS. AFTER WEIGHING MY OPTIONS FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES I DECIDED TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON. UPON DOING SO THE WRENCH INDICATOR WAS GONE, AND THE TRUCK APPEARED TO WORK NORMALLY. SINCE THEN I HAVE DRIVEN THE TRUCK (CAUTIOUSLY AND ON HIGH ALERT) ANOTHER 1,500 MILES AND EVERYTHING HAS PERFORMED NOMINALLY. I HAVE HAD NO OTHER SIGNIFICANT INCIDENTS WITH THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THIS ONE, NOR HAVE I NOTICED ANYTHING OUT OF THE NORM PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT I HAD BEEN DRIVING AT SIMILAR SPEEDS FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE BOTH DRY AND VERY SMOOTH AND THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS LOW 80S AT THE TIME. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 2 DAYS AND AFTER A FULL DIAGNOSIS THEY HAVE NO CLEAR EXPLANATION OR FIX FOR THIS POTENTIALLY FATAL MALFUNCTION.

2010 FORD F150 XLT; BOUGHT FROM A USED CAR DEALER 2/7/2015. ON 3/27/2015 I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE & WAS TOLD THAT THE RACK & PINION WAS DAMAGED; WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP & THEY HAD THE RACK & PINION REPLACED. TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE ON 9/26/2016 & ONCE AGAIN I'M LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID. I CONTACTED THE REPAIR SHOP & THEY HAVE NO PAPER RECORD OF THE REPAIR & NEITHER DOES THE DEALERSHIP. I CALLED EVERY PARTS STORE IN THE AREA & NONE OF THEM HAVE A RECORD OF SELLING THE REPAIR SHOP THAT PARTICULAR PART FOR MY MAKE & MODEL TRUCK. THERE IS ONE PARTS STORE THAT WILL BE WILLING TO DO AN EXCHANGE FOR THE OLD PART BUT ONLY WITH THE REPAIR SHOP THAT ORIGINALLY DID THE WORK. I DON'T WANT THAT GUY WORKING ON MY TRUCK ANYMORE BECAUSE WHEN HE PUT THE PART ON THE FIRST TIME, HE PUT IT ON WITH ZIP TIES! THIS PART COSTS AROUND $375 PLUS LABOR & I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. NOT WITH RAISING 2 KIDS BY MYSELF BECAUSE THEIR DEADBEAT DAD WON'T GET A JOB TO HELP WITH EXPENSES. I HAVE TO KEEP POWER STEERING FLUID ON HAND AT ALL TIMES BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN I'M GONNA HAVE TO ADD SOME TO THE TRUCK. I'VE NOTICED THAT SAME "WHINE" IN A LOT OF FORD TRUCKS DRIVING BY MY HOUSE & SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. I HAVE NO WARRANTY ON MY TRUCK ANYMORE & I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ONE OF THOSE EXTENDED WARRANTY THINGS YOU SEE ONLINE OR ON TV COMMERCIALS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FUEL FIELD INLET INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. FIVE DAYS LATER, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER (ALL STAR FORD 3800 CENTURY WAY PITTSBURGH, CA 94565) WAS CALLED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FUEL FIELD INLET FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS HAD NOT BEEN FILED ON THAT COMPONENT TO CREATE A RECALL, AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200,000.

ABOUT APRIL 2017 I NOTICED A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA OF MY TRUCK. I ALSO NOTICED HESITATION WHEN I ACCELERATE AND MY FUEL ECONOMY HAS DROPPED. THERE IS A DISTINCT JERKING SENSATION WHEN DRIVING. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE IN CERTAIN GEARS AND I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. MY TRUCK HAS THE FORD 5.4L V8 ENGINE AND UPON MY OWN RESEARCH, THIS ENGINE IS NOTORIOUS FOR THE CAM PHASER GOING BAD, ALONG WITH OTHER RELATED ISSUES.

I OWN A 2010 FORD F-150 FX4 4X4 5.4L PICK UP. THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT WAS BINDING UP, CAUSING A HEAVY STEERING CONDITION, STEERING NOT RETURNING TO CENTER AFTER TURNING AND A BINDING CONDITION. THE PART WAS REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 36K MILES BY WASHINGTON FORD IN WASHINGTON PA. APPROX 2 YEARS HAVE PASSED AND AT 63K MILES EXPERIENCING THE SAME CONDITIONS WITH FORD REPLACEMENT PART. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO WASHINGTON FORD IN WASHINGTON, PA FOR DIAGNOSIS ON 5/4/17. SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT DETECT OR DIAGNOSE AN ISSUE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR CENTER ON 5/16/17 WHERE TECH DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A BINDING ISSUE WITH THE REPLACEMENT PART. AN AFTER MARKET PART HAS BEEN ORDERED FOR REPLACEMENT. AFTER A LONG SEARCH AT LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIPS FOR THE PART IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A NUMBER OF FORD PARTS DEALERS AS WELL AS BIG BOX PARTS HOUSES HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ON BACK ORDER. WOLTZ AND WIND FORD IN CARNEGIE WAS REPORTING TO ME A 40 QUANTITY BACK ORDER FOR THE PART. MANY COMPLAINTS OBSERVED ONLINE. APPEARS TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN WITH NUMEROUS OWNERS ONLINE. PLEASE ADVISE. STOCK IMAGE ATTACHED THANK YOU

NOTICED ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR ON FRONT TIRES. TOOK VEHICLE TO SHOP TO HAVE TIRES ROTATED AND ALIGNMENT CHECKED. A SAFETY CHECK REVEALED BOTH FRONT COIL SPRINGS WERE BROKEN.(SEE PHOTOS) FRACTURE OCCURRED AT THE TRANSITION FROM TIGHT RADIUS (PIGTAIL) AT THE BOTTOM, TO LARGER RADIUS. THE SPRING THEN BOWED OUT OF COLUMN AND STARTED RUBBING THE STRUT BODY. VEHICLE PREVIOUSLY HAD A SAFETY CHECK AT THE SAME SHOP AT 47726 MILES ON 1-20-2016 WITH NO SPRING DEFECT NOTED. DEFECT WAS NOTED AT 60800 MILES ON 4-13-17. REPORT GENERATED BY ORIGINAL OWNER. LEFT SPRING FAILURE WAS NOT NOTICED BUT RIGHT FAILURE MAY HAVE OCCURRED WHEN ENCOUNTERING NORMAL POTHOLE THAT CREATED A STARTLING BANG NOT COMMENSURATE WITH THE DEPTH OF THE STREET DEFECT. OWNER DID NOT NOTICE ANY STEERING WHEEL DISPLACEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH A WHEEL MISALIGNMENT. OWNERS CONCERNS. 1) VEHICLE WAS LESS THAT 7 YEARS IN SERVICE LESS THAT 61000 MILES. 2) ESSENTIALLY A SILENT FAILURE, FIRST CLUE WAS ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR. 3) MODE OF FAILURE COULD ALLOW SPRING TO PASS OVER PERCH CAUSING SUDDEN COMPLETE COLLAPSE OF THAT CORNER SUSPENSION. 4) IF SPRING REMAINS IN PLACE, RUBBING ON STRUT BODY WILL CAUSE FAILURE OF THE STRUT ITSELF AFFECTING HANDLING. PICTURES ARE OF RT. STRUT ASSEMBLY. LT STRUT WAS DISCARDED BEFORE DECISION TO REPORT WAS MADE BUT HAD SIMILAR FAILURE,

TRUCK WAS STATIONARY AT A RED LIGHT WHEN THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION. THE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW SHATTERED. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A ROCK HIT. NO OTHER CARS WERE AROUND ME TO THROW UP A STONE. I HAD THE REAR DEFROST ON WHEN IT HAPPENED.

WHEN TRUCK HAS 1/4 OR LESS FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK IT STALLS AND THERE IS LOST POWER. MOSTLY HAPPENS WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND WHEN I MAKE A TURN AFTER TAKING MY FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR TO BRAKE . THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE ALL BRAKING AND STEERING IS LOST .WHILE LOOKING ON THE WEB THERE WERE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS .

ON JANUARY 7, 2017, THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE IN THE EVENING WAS AROUND 10 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. I GOT INTO MY 2010 FORD F150M, STARTED IT ALLOWING THE ENGINE TO WARM THEN BEGAN DRIVING. THE SNOW WAS FALLING AND THEREFORE MY REAR WINDOW HAD A LIGHT AMOUNT OF SNOW ON IT AND WAS HARD TO SEE OUT OF. I TURNED ON MY REAR DEFROST FOR MY POWER SLIDING WINDOW, AND APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES LATER I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. I NOTICED A FEW MINUTES LATER MY LEFT REAR WINDOW PANEL WAS NOT DEFROSTING. I PARKED MY VEHICLE OVERNIGHT IN MY GARAGE AND IN THE MORNING REALIZED THE LEFT REAR WINDOW PANEL HAD BROKEN. UPON LOOKING AT IT FURTHER I FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO IMPACT FROM ANY OBJECT, AND THE GLASS FRAGMENTS WERE BEING HELD TOGETHER BY THE TINT. I BEGAN RESEARCHING FOR A PRICE TO GET MY WINDOW FIXED AND DISCOVERED HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE WINDOW EXPLODING WHEN USING THE DEFROST. THERE HAD BEEN NO DAMAGE TO THE WINDOW PRIOR TO THIS EVENING AND THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO THE WINDOW WHEN IT OCCURRED. THE WINDOW DEFROSTER WAS BEING OPERATED AS I HAVE IN MULTIPLE VEHICLES. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS, I FOUND IT WAS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. ON 1/11/17, I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND FILED A COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD TO BEING MY VEHICLE INTO A FORD SERVICE FACILITY FOR POTENTIAL GOODWILL ASSISTANCE. I WAS TOLD BY THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE THAT HAD HAD HEARD OF THIS GLASS BREAKAGE BEFORE HOWEVER FORD HAS NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE FOR THIS REPAIR. ON 1/11/17, AT THE FORD SERVICE FACILITY THE VEHICLE WAS LOOKED AT, TOLD THAT THE REPLACEMENT WOULD BE AROUND $1000 AND THEY WOULD CONTACT FORD. ON 1/12/17, THE SERVICE FACILITY INDICATED THE FORD REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE WAS CONTACTED AND NO ASSISTANCE WILL BE PROVIDED. I AGAIN CONTACT THE FORD, BUT WAS TOLD THE REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE MADE THE DECISION AND NOTHING MORE WOULD BE DONE. ON 1/13/17, I PAID $585 TO HAVE THE GLASS REPAIRED.

WHEN APPLYING SYNC UPDATE CAUSED SEVERAL FAILURE CODES TO TRANSMISSION MODULE AND TRANSMISSION SERVO. SYNC MODULE NO LONGER WORKS AFTER APPLYING SOFTWARE UPDATE AND MUST BE REPLACED. ALL TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE CODES WERE CLEARED. I BELIEVE THE SYNC MODULE UPDATE CAUSED FAILURE CODES AND DESTROYED SYNC MODULE. FORD DEALERSHIP CANNOT EXPLAIN

NOTICED A FLUID LEAK WHEN VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. DISCOVERED IT WAS RED TRANSMISSION FLUID COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE ELECTRICAL PLUG TO THE TRANSMISSION IS WET. THE TRUCK IS BABIED AND VERY LIGHTLY USED WITH ONLY 19,311 MILES ON IT.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET, THE VEHICLE WAS SUDDENLY UNABLE TO STOP BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH COMPLETE BRAKE LOSS, AND THE BRAKE FLUID WARNING LAMP SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ABLE TO STOP ME AND ALLOW ME TO SAFELY PULL OVER. NO FLUID LEAKAGE WAS DISCOVERED UPON INITIAL LOOK BUT THE RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY. THE SOLUTION INVOLVED LOCATING THE MISSING BRAKE FLUID WHICH HAD LEAKED FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER, RESULTING IN THE BRAKE LOSS. UPON REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER, THE BRAKES ARE OKAY NOW. THIS PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL TO THE SUMMARY IDENTIFIED UNDER INVESTIGATION PE-16-003 (SEE ATTACHED). *TR

REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKAGE. MY 2010 FORD F-150 XLT SUPERCREW ENGINE 4.6 L AT 89K MILES WITH ALL ITS MAINTENANCE DONE LIKE CLOCKWORK AND DRIVEN LIKE A BABY REQUIRED ITS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SEALS REPLACED (TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKAGE AROUND THE TRANSMISSION BULKHEAD CONNECTOR SLEEVE) 01/02/17. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE CURRENT REPAIR IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS THE TRUCK IS PASSED ITS 60K POWER TRAIN WARRANTY THAT PREVIOUS REPAIR COMPLETED BACK ON FEB 2015 (COMPLETED UNDER WARRANTY AS THE TRUCK HAD 57K MILES AT THE TIME). EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING AS BACK IN FEB 2015 WHERE THEY HAVE TO BRING THE TRANSMISSION DOWN AND RE-SEAL IT IN ADDITION TO THE NEW REPAIR OF THE TRANSMISSION BULKHEAD CONNECTOR SLEEVE. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY FORD AND ITS TECHS WHOM ARE AWARE OF THE TSB 14-0069 (ATTACHED) *A KNOWN ISSUE PRIOR TO 2014* DID NOT "REPLACE REPAIR" THIS PART BACK ON FEB 2015 SO THAT THE CUSTOMER WOULD NOT FIND HIMSELF IN THIS SITUATION WITH A $721.04 REPAIR BILL. I'M HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED AND DISSATISFIED WITH THE PURCHASE OF MY TRUCK I HAVE NEVER OWNED ANY VEHICLE THAT WITHIN 6 YEARS OR LESS THE TRANSMISSION AND DRIVE SHAFT HAD TO BE REPAIRED SO OFTEN (THIS F150 IS NOT USED COMMERCIALLY AND ITS WELL CARED FOR MAINTAINED). MY FAMILY AND I HAVE OWNED FORD'S AND HONDA'S IN THE PAST AND NEVER HAS ANYONE IN MY FAMILY AND I HAD TO REPLACE OR REPAIR SO OFTEN A TRANSMISSION. THIS IS NOT THE 1ST ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OF MY TRUCK I HAD TAKEN IT IN TO DORAL LINCOLN WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AS IT WAS JERKING ON GEAR CHANGES THEY LUBRICATED THE TRANSMISSION AND DRAFT SHAFT ADDITIONALLY I HAD THE DRIVE SHAFT COUPLER/BOOT REPLACED AT SAWGRASS FORD AS WELL IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THIS REPAIR COST ME $185.90 ON 09/17/2016.

I WAS PARKED IN MY TRUCK, WARMING IT UP ON A ~10 DEGREE MORNING. THE BACK GLASS HAD A LAYER OF ICE AND I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST. A FEW MINUTES LATER, WHILE STILL PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, I HEARD A LOUD POP. THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK GLASS WAS SHATTERED. IT IS A POWER SLIDING, TINTED BACK GLASS IN THREE SECTIONS.

WHILE USING THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER, I HEARD A LOUD THUD. I LOOKED BACK AND SAW A SHATTERED REAR PASSENGER WINDOW. ALSO NOTICED SMOKE FROM LOWER CORNER. I WAS REVERSING OUT OF DRIVEWAY AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED. OUTSIDE TEMP WAS 20F.

TRANSMISSION WON'T DOWN SHIFT ,OR DOWNSHIFTS WHEN NOT SUPPOSE TO, WHEN STARTING OUT OR SLOWING DOWN THERE IS SEVERE SHUTTERING FROM THE DRIVETRAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD POP AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON. AFTER CLOSING ALL DOORS REPEADTLY, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LIGHT SAYS ITS STILL AJAR. THE DANGEROUS PART IS THAT THE CAB LIGHTS STAY ON THE WHOLE TIME WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. ALSO, WHEN DONE DRIVING AND AFTER LOCKING THE TRUCK, THE LIGHTS STILL STAY ON RUNNING DOWN THE BATTERY.

I LEFT HOME FOR WORK ON 12/8/2016. THE TEMP WAS 7 DEGREES OUT AND MY BACK WINDOW WAS SLIGHTLY ICED OVER. I TURNED THE REAR DEFROST ON TO CLEAR UP THE WINDOW. WITHIN TEN MINUTES I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN GOING OFF. UPON INSPECTION I REALIZED THAT MY REAR 3 PEACE WINDOW HAD SPIDER CRACKED INTO THOUSANDS OF PEACES. THE SOUND IT MADE SENT ME OFF THE ROAD TO A FRANTIC STOP. THIS WAS IN TOWN GOING 30MPH. I'M SO GLAD MY KIDS WEREN'T IN THE REAR SEAT AS THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF SMALL GLASS PEACES. THIS WILL SET ME BACK $600 AND I CANT IMAGINE EVER USING THE REAR DEFROST BUTTON AGAIN AS IT MIGHT BE A FAULTY SWITCH THAT CAUSED THIS OR A FAULTY WINDOW. IT SEEMS THE MORE I FIND ON THE INTERNET THE MORE I REALIZE THIS IS FAIRLY COMMON. FORD MOTOR CO.SHOULD REALLY DO SOMETHING!

ON A 20 DEGREE MORNING I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST AND IN ABOUT FIVE MINUTES TIME I HEAR A LOUD NOISE. UPON LOOKING AROUND I FOUND THE BACK WINDOW HAD SHATTERED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME, THANKFULLY, BECAUSE THE SOUND WAS A LOT LIKE A GUN BLAST AND IF DRIVING I COULD HAVE SWERVED, IT STARTLED ME SO MUCH. THE WINDOW IS SHATTERED INTO THOUSANDS OF PIECES AND VISIBILITY OUT OF THAT WINDOW IS SEVERELY HAMPERED. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW AND IT EFFECTS THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING (IN MOTION) THE ENGINE RANDOMLY SHUTS DOWN CAUSING YOU TO LOSE BOTH STEERING AND BRAKING POWER. THIS HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING AND THE VEHICLE IS HARD TO CONTROL. SPEED DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A FACTOR BUT IT QUITS WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. *TR

WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON PRIVATE DRIVEWAY DURING MULTIPLE RAIN STORMS, IT WAS FOUND MULTIPLE TIMES THE TRUCK CAB WAS LEAKING PROFUSE AMOUNTS OF WATER FROM THE REAR CAB CORNERS AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HANDLE. WHEN RESEARCHING THIS DISCREPANCY, IT HAS BEEN FOUND THIS VERY PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED MULTIPLE TIMES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. IT'S STATED THE LEAK IS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT FROM THE TRUCK'S 3RD BRAKE LIGHT, AND THE PASSENGER SIDE HANDLE LEAK IS FROM A LEAKING SATELLITE ANTENNAE. THIS HAZARDOUS CONDITION CAN LEAD TO MOLD, ROT AND RUST ISSUES WITH THE TRUCK, AS WELL AS POTENTIALLY SHORT OUT ELECTRICAL DUE TO WATER RUNNING DOWN THE VEHICLE'S INTERIOR FRAME AND COLLECTING ON THE VEHICLE'S FLOORBOARD AND ELECTRICAL CHANNEL AREAS. DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINANTS REGARDING THIS DISCREPANCY, A RECALL SHOULD BE SOUGHT AND ISSUED TO FIX THE DISCREPANCIES.

THE INSIDE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE IS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. PASSENGERS ARE FORCED TO PUSH THE HANDLE BACK INTO THE CLOSED POSITION WHEN RIDING. THIS PROBLEM IS IN FACT LISTED AS A RECALL ITEM FOR THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE. I CONTACTED FORD AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER/ FACTORY WAS NOT INCLUDED.

ALTHOUGH FORD DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM EXIST WITH MY VEHICLE IN PARTICULAR OR PERHAPS THE PLANT WHERE IT WAS MANUFACTURED; THIS DOES NOT CHANGE THE REALITY THAT IT HAPPENED. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE AT MY OWN COST. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN A PASSENGER OPENED THE DOOR; ONLY TO FIND THAT THE HANDLE WOULD NOT GO BACK TO CLOSED POSITION.

THE INTERIOR DRIVER'S DOOR HANDLE WILL NOT GO BACK INTO POSITION AFTER OPENING THUS CAUSING THE DOOR TO FLING OPEN IF DRIVER DOES NOT PUSH THE HANDLE BACK INTO POSITION.

2010 F150 DIED TWICE WHILE DRIVING IN LOWER SPEED ON INTERSTATE AND IN PARKING LOT. SPEED WAS LESS THAN 15 MILES PER HOUR (INTERSTATE SPEED WAS REDUCED DUE TO CONSTRUCTION). IT ALSO DIED WHEN PARKED IN IDLE. THE ONLY "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" THAT APPEARED WAS THE OIL LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AT A FORD DEALER BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND THE HISTORY OF THE ISSUES USING THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS NOR WERE THEY ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE. WHEN VEHICLE DIED WHILE IN MOTION IT WAS IN DRIVE. WHEN IT DIED I LOST THE CAPABILITY TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL OR USE BRAKES. IN ALL SITUATIONS THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND FUNCTIONED AS NORMAL.

AS I WAS APPROACHING A SCHOOL ZONE I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO STOP FOR A CROSSING GUARD ,SLIGHTLY SLIPPERY, WITH MY FOOT APPLIED TO BRAKE THE REAR WHEEL STARTED SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL,THE TAC PEGGED , THE TRACSHION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED REPEATEDLY, I EMEDITLY JAMMED THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK, AND SHUT OFF THE TRUCK.RESTARTED IT AND IT WAS THEN OK, HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE. WENT TO FORD DEALER THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND FOUND NO ERROR CODES, THIS IS GOT THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE MAJOR INJURIES. MY WIFE NOW REFUSES TO DRIVE MY TRUCK. DO NO WHAT TO DO,NEED HELP IN THIS MATTER!

VEHICLE VIBRATES AND HESITATES TO ACCELERATE TO THE POINT WHERE THE TRUCK ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF AROUND 1500 RPM ON BOTH HIGHWAY SPEED AND NORMAL STREET SPEED. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT OR MAYBE THEY JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S COMING FROM SINCE THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON.

MY VEHICLE HAD TO BE SERVICED THREE TIMES AT THREE SEPARATE DEALERSHIPS LAST YEAR. DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THIS ISSUE CAUSED THE DASHBOARD TO SHUT OFF EVEN WHILE DRIVING, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE SPEED AND FUEL LEVEL. THE AC WOULD ALSO GO OUT AND THE WINDOWS CEASED TO WORK. IF THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING WHEN THIS OCCURRED IT WOULD CONTINUE TO FUNCTION BUT WITHOUT ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS. ONCE THE TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF, IT COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. MY VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED THREE TIMES FOR REPAIRS. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS IN DRY CREEK, LA (60MIN FROM MY HOUSE), THE SECOND OCCURRED IN NEW ORLEANS, LA JUST PRIOR TO A BUSINESS MEETING (3 HOURS FROM HOME), AND THE THIRD TIME OCCURRED WITH MY FAMILY IN OUR HOME TOWN OF LAKE CHARLES. BOLTON FORD MADE IT SEEM IT LIKE IT WAS ME WHO CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THE TRUCK HASN'T HAD AN ISSUE YET BUT WE SHALL SEE. DEALING WITH FORD CONCERNING THIS ISSUE WAS AN ORDEAL I HOPE I NEVER HAVE TO REPEAT. I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE TRUCK SINCE THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS CONDUCTED THREE DIFFERENT REPAIRS.

THE FRONT BRAKES WERE NOT RELEASING. AS I TRAVELED AROUND TOWN COMPLETING SOME ERRANDS I SMELT THE BRAKES BURNING. WHEN I RETURNED HOME I DISCOVERED MY CALIPERS WAS NOT RELEASING. I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS, BRAKE LINES AND CALIPERS.

DRIVERS MIRROR WAS FOGGY DUE TO EARLY MORNING MOISTURE. TURNED ON MY HEATED MIRRORS WHICH ARE ALSO CONNECTED TO THE REAR SLIDING WINDOW DEFROSTER. ABOUT 2 MINUTES LATER WHILE DRIVING I HEARD A LOUD SOUND, LIKE A GUNSHOT. THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK GLASS HAD SHATTERED DUE TO THE DEFROSTER IMBEDDED IN THE GLASS.

HAD JUST COMPLETED AN OIL CHANGE IN NOVATO, CA AT THE OIL CHANGERS. WHEN DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER. (STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR HAD NO RESPONSE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON) I COASTED THE VEHICLE ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. CHECKED THE OIL PLUG WAS STILL IN THE OIL DRAIN PAN AND EVERYTHING LOOKED OK. THE VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP WITHOUT ISSUE AND HAS BEEN RUNNING FINE SINCE.

MY 2010 FORD F-150 AIR CONDITION SYSTEM BLOWS OUT COOL AIR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND HOT AIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.WHEN THE AIR IS TURNED ON.

THE TRUCK HAS HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THE TRUCK BUT CAN NEVER DUPLICATE THE ISSUE WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE 1ST TIME THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK BUT WOULD NOT FIRE. THE SECOND TIME, I WAS DRIVING AND THE TRUCK JUST STOPPED. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH SOME PASSING BY MOTORIST HELPED TO PUSH IT OUT OF THE INTERSECTION. 3RD TIME, THE TRUCK WAS PARKED AND DID NOT START. AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING THE ISSUE, THE FUEL PUMP RELAY FUSE BURNED OUT. NORMALLY FUSES JUST POP, THIS ONE JUST BURNED OUT TO WHERE I COULD NOT TAKE OUT THE FUSE. TOOK THE TRUCK TO WAS BOUGHT AT AND AFTER A FEW HOURS, THE PROBLEM WAS LOCATED. THE SHOP FOREMAN STATED THAT THEY HAVE HAD ALOT OF TRUCKS GO IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE. ONLY REASON I MAKING A COMPLAINT IS DUE TO THAT COMMENT. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND TRUCK SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. WHAT IF MY SONS WERE WITH ME? HOPE THIS GETS RESOLVED AND A RECALLED IS MADE BEFORE SOMETHING WORSE HAPPENS TO SOMEONE ELSE. THANK YOU. *TR

WHILE SLOWING TO APPROXIMATLY 20 MPH TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT A STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE DIED AND ALL BRAKING AND POWER STEERING WAS LOST. WHILE STILL PARTIALLY BLOKING THE INTERSECTION I PLACED THE TRANSSMISION IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. NO ENGINE FAULT CODES WERE DISPLAYED. I DROVE TO THE LOCAL DEALER IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INCIDENT. DEALER STATED THAT IF NO FAULT LIGHT WAS PRESENT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE. SO FAR THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED ONE TIME.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY GOING TO WORK, ON A COLD OCTOBER MORNING. THE REAR DEFROST WAS ON AND THE RIGHT SIDE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED WITH AN INCREDIBLE POPPING SOUND

EXHAUST MANIFOLD STUDS BREAKING CAUSING EXHAUST GAS LEAKAGE 5.4L 3 VALVE FLEX-FUEL ON BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE. FORD MOTOR COMPANY DECLINED TO COVER COSTS TO REPAIR. INTERNET FULL OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM AND FOMOCO IGNORES KNOWS DESIGN FLAW.

REAR GLASS SHATTERING WHEN REAR DEFROSTER IS TURNED ON IN COLD WEATHER. MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERING (DRIVER SIDE OF 3 SEGMENT WINDOW) WHEN THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS TURNED ON DURING COLD WEATHER (APPROXIMATELY 10 DEG F AMBIENT TEMP). THE VEHICLE HAD COLD SOAKED (NO MOVEMENT OR KEY POWER FOR 10 HOURS IN THE COLD WEATHER PRIOR TO THE WINDOW SHATTERING WHEN THE DEFROSTER WAS TURNED ON. THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED (NO SNOW OR ICE ON VEHICLE) AND THE REAR DEFROSTER ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED INTO DRIVE AND MOVED APPROXIMATELY 500 FEET. WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN A LOUD POPPING SOUND, SIMILAR TO A GUN SHOT STARTLED ME. I LOOKED AROUND AND NOTICED THE GLASS WAS SHATTERED. THE GLASS RETAINED IN THE ORIGINAL FRAME. THE VEHICLE HAD 30,000 MILES. NO OTHER VEHICLE OR PERSON WAS ANYWHERE IN SIGHT - MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLY THIS WAS DUE TO SOMEONE THROWING SOMETHING AT MY VEHICLE.

"IGNITION CYLINDER FELL OUT WHILE DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE THE IGNITION CYLINDER (INCLUDING MY KEYS) FELL OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN. THE VEHICLE KEPT RUNNING, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE STILL FUNCTIONING AND STEERING WHEEL WAS ABLE TO BE TURNED. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND FOUND THE IGNITION CYLINDER CONTAINING MY KEYS ON THE FLOOR MAT OF MY VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME - HOWEVER I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE WITH THE KEY AFTER I ARRIVED HOME. I PULLED THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE TO KILL THE ENGINE. I CALLED DORIAN FORD AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE AND FOR $375 THIS COULD BE FIXED (PER ROXANNE, SERVICE ADVISOR @ DORIAN FORD). I FOUND THIS INCREDIBLE THAT A SERVICE ADVISOR WOULD INDICATE THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE. THIS WAS QUITE SCARY FOR THE FIRST FEW MOMENTS WHEN I HEARD THE CYLINDER FALL OUT AND THEN HIT MY LEG ON ITS WAY TO THE FLOOR. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS THIS IS THE SAME SCENARIO THAT OCCURRED ON GM VEHICLES WITH THE IGNITION CYLINDER.

WHILE DRIVING THE REAR GLASS SHATTERED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE POWER SLIDING WINDOW.

TRAVELING AT 45 MPH ON A HIGHWAY I APPLIED BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN WHEN THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE SLOWING THE VEHICLE, HAD TO DOWNSHIFT AND APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. TOWED VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED DRAWING BRAKE FLUID INTO THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. NO VISIBLE SIGN OF A BRAKE FLUID LEAK. MASTER CYLINDER AND POWER BRAKE BOOSTER MUST BE REPLACED. VEHICLE HAS 80,000 MILES . SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM IN A RECALL ON 2014-15 F150 BUT NO SUCH RECALL FOR THE 2010 F150.

BOUGHT NEW IN APRIL 2010, FORD XLT150. NOW AT 73K MI. LAST TWO WEEKS. COULD NOT START TWICE AFTER FILLING UP. HAD TO KEEP FLOORING VEHICLE TO CRANK OVER.HI PERFORMANCE BATTERY IS TWO MTHS OLD. DIED AT RED LIGHT THREE TIMES. DIED AT YIELD SIGN TWICE.DIED AT BANK ATM ONCE. LOST STEERING CONTROL WHEN ENGINE DIED COMING OUT OF YIELD SIGN. LUCKILY HIT NO ONE.TOOK IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP,ASKED ABOUT RECALL NOTICE OR IF OTHERS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. NEGATIVE RESPONSE ON BOTH. TOLD THEM THOUSANDS OF SAME PROBLEM POSTED ON INTERNET. THEY TOLD ME MANY PEOPLE JUST POST STUFF. MANY POSTERS SAID FORD DEALERS COMPUTERS SHOWED NO PROBLEM WHEN TRUCK IS HOOKED UP.TAKING IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SHOP. TOO DANGEROUS TO KEEP DRIVING. WILL INJURE SOMEONE AND MYSELF,OR WORSE. WILL BE NOTIFYING FORD.

2010 FORD F150 WITH JUST OVER 60,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE FAILS AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN ENTIRELY. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE TRUCK COMES TO A STOP, BUT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING CASUALLY AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON CITY STREETS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. PERSONAL INVESTIGATION HAS LED TO FINDING NUMEROUS REPORTS ONLINE OF THE SAME OR WORSE PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL/YEAR OF FORD TRUCK. RESEARCH HAS LEAD TO SHOW THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE A FACTORY ISSUE WITH THE FUEL/AIR SYSTEM ON THE VEHICLE. NUMEROUS OTHER REPORTS ONLINE OF THE TRUCK FAILING WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN CAUSING ACCIDENTS IN SOME INSTANCES. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS IT ENDANGERS THE LIVES OF THOSE IN THIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHERS ON THE ROADWAY. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED IMMEDIATELY BY THE MANUFACTURER TO RECTIFY THIS WRONGDOING.

SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF NUMBER 2 CYLINDER WITH NO WARNING.

BRAKE PADS ARE NOT LASTING MORE THAN ONE YEAR AND IS LOSING BRAKE FLUID.

I OWN A 2010 FORD F-150 FX4 PICKUP, PURCHASED NEW OCTOBER 2009. APPROXIMATELY IN 2013 THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER STOPPED WORKING. THE TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH A POWER REAR SLIDING WINDOW FROM FORD. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. THE FORD DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISED ME THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE WINDOW ITSELF, AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, OR FORD AT ALL. I HAVE NOTICED MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB FROM OWNERS OF FORD PICKUPS OF THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL, THE MAJORITY OF THEM EXPERIENCING BROKEN REAR WINDOWS, SMOKE AND DAMAGE. LIKE MANY, I HAVE A SMALL CHILD THAT SITS IN A REAR FACING CHILD'S CAR SEAT, AND AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IT IS VERY APPARENT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE, BUT IS NOT WILLING TO ADMIT TO IT, OR TAKE STEPS TO ADDRESS IT. THIS ISSUE IS A TICKING TIME BOMB FOR FORD PICKUP OWNERS, ALWAYS WORRYING IF IT WILL HAPPEN TO THEM, AND WHEN.

WHILE USING THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTERS, THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW SHATTERED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME, FORD COVERED IT AS A WARRANTY. THIS TIME THEY WILL NOT COVER IT SINCE IT IS OVER 100,000 MILES. BOTH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE CUSTOMER CARE REPRESENTATIVES ACKNOWLEDGE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. BOTH TIMES THE WINDOW SHATTERED OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED IN JUNE AND THE SECOND TIME WAS IN FEBRUARY. TEMPERATURES WERE EXTREMELY DIFFERENT. JUNE WAS IN THE MID 70'S AND FEBRUARY WAS 0 - 5F. THE SHATTERED GLASS WENT ALL OVER THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT. CLEAN UP WAS A HAZARD AS THE GLASS IS VERY SHARP.

TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST ON THE VEHICLE THIS MORNING AS IT WAS SITTING STILL WARMING UP. TEMP=40F. CAME OUTSIDE WITH THE BACK GLASS SMOKING AND ON FIRE, MELTING THE PLASTIC TRIM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE BACK GLASS. MINUTES LATER THE GLASS BROKE, SPIDERING THE ENTIRE PANEL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.

2010 FORD F150 STALLS WHEN GOING SLOW, AND TURNING LEFT. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ALL POWER I HAD TO PUT IN PARK AND RESTART. TOOK ABOUT 5 TRIES FOR THE TRUCK TO RESTART. IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN ABOUT FIVE MINUTES LATER WHILE MAKING ANOTHER LEFT TURN. ALSO, DIED WHEN I WAS SITTING AT A LIGHT PREPARING TO TURN RIGHT.

WAS OPERATING THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SECTION OF THE POWER REAR WINDOW SLIDER SHATTERED. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED IT IS A PROBLEM BUT FORD HAS NOT RECALLED. THE LOCAL WINDOW REPAIR COMPANY SAID THAT MOST TIMES IT IS THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT SHATTERS. THE TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND REPAIR IS NOT COVERE.

I WAS PARKED IN MY VEHICLE, WAS ABOUT 25 DEGREES OUTSIDE I HAD MY REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER ON AFTER ABOUT 10 MINS OF BEING ON THE BACK GLASS PASSENGER SIDE POPPED.

I WAS DRIVING THIS MORNING WITH THE TEMPERTURE AROUND 30DEGREES. I TURNED ON MY REAR DEFROST TO THAW MY MIRRORS AND REAR GLASS OF FROST. WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY, WHILE DRIVING I HEARD A LARGE POP THAT RESEMBLED A GUN SHOT, MY DAUGHTER STARTED SCREAMING AND STATED MY BACK WINDOW HAD BROKEN. THERE ARE BURN MARKS ON THE DEFROST CONTACTS, SHARDS OF SAFETY GLASS OFF OF MY WINDOW THAT SHOT OUT WHEN EXPLODED WITH MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE REAR SEAT AND HER CAR SEAT. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION APPROX 55 MPH. THE SOUND ALONE CAUSED ME TO LOCK UP MY BRAKES OUT OF INSTINCT TO INVESTIGATE THE LOUD NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT AND TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED! THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL OF WHAT SMELT LIKE ELECTRICAL WIRE BURNING PRESENT WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND MINIMAL SMOKE IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE.

TAKATA INFLATORS???? INVOLVED IN A FRONT IMPACT COLLISION, THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I RECEIVED MINOR LACERATIONS ON BOTH MY FIGHT HAND AND LEFT ARM FROM DEBRIS FROM THE AIRBAG. ONE SMALL PIECE WAS STILL EMBEDDED IN MY RIGHT HAND. OTHER THAN THE DEBRIS, THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WAS AS IT SHOULD BE.

WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE ON A COLD MORNING, I ENGAGED THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER. THE CAR WAS IN TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE ON WI HWY 45 TRAVELLING 70 MPH. SHORTLY 2-5 MINUTES OF TURNING ON THE ELECTRIC DEFROSTER, THE GLASS SHATTERED RATHER VIOLENTLY SENDING GLASS INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND TRUCK BED.

JANUARY 16, 2016 DRIVING IN THE FORD F150, TEMPERATURE ABOUT 55 DEGREES, WINDOWS WERE FOGGED A LITTLE, USED THE DEFROSTERS. HEARD A LOUD BANG, LOOKED AROUND TO SEE THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED.

IT WAS 7 DEGREES THIS MORNING AND THERE WAS ICE ON MY REAR WINDOW. I TURNED ON THE ELECTRIC DEFROST AND ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER I HEAR A LOUD BANG. THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED / SHATTERED INTO PIECES. WE CALLED FORD AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION OR ADDRES IT IN ANY WAY.

4TH TIME IN LESS THAN A YEAR MY POWER STEERING HOSE HAS BLOWN OFF WHEN I START THE TRUCK WHEN THE TEMP IS BELOW 0 DEGREES F. IT WAS DOUBLE CLAMPED AND BEEN REPAIRED BY PROFESSIONALS MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY, AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR IT GOT STUCK, THE GAS PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND TRUCK ACCELERATED RAPIDLY ON IT'S OWN. I MASHED THE BRAKES TO THE FLOOR AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AND OVER POWER THE BRAKES. I PUT MY TRUCK IN NEUTRAL, AND AFTER AN ABRUPT JERK, I PULLED OVER TO THE FAR LANE AS THE TIRES SCREECHED TO A STOP. THERE WAS NO SHOULDER AND THERE WERE GUARD RAILS BLOCKING ME FROM GETTING TO THE MEDIAN AND NO EXITS NEARBY, ALL THE WHILE THE TRUCK IS CONTINUING TO REV OUT. I SHUT MY TRUCK OFF WITH THE KEY, AS SOON AS I COULD, TO AVOID DAMAGING THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION DUE TO THE HIGH RPMS. AFTER WE SAT, STOPPED, ON THE FAR LANE OF THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS (CARS FLYING BY HONKING) I TRIED TO START THE TRUCK BACK UP AND IT WOULDN'T START, TURNED IT OVER AGAIN AND IT STARTED. OBVIOUSLY, THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS WE WERE ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY WITH TRAFFIC GOING 60+ MPH ALL AROUND US, MY WIFE AND 2 SMALL CHILDREN WERE IN THE TRUCK AT THE TIME. THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF BRAKE OVERRIDE FOR AN UNINTENDED AND OUT OF CONTROL ACCELERATION LIKE WHAT WE EXPERIENCED. I WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING WITH A CRICK IN MY NECK, HOPEFULLY IT'S JUST STRESS AND NOT AN ACTUAL INJURY. I'M THANKFUL NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY HURT. FORD, YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED, OR WORSE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I TURNED ON THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER TO MELT SOME SNOW ON THAT WINDOW. NO CARS IN SIGHT IN EITHER DIRECTION. SUDDENLY THERE WAS A LOAD NOISE (ALMOST LIKE A GUNSHOT). THE BACK SLIDING WINDOW PANEL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BLEW OUT. THERE APPEARED A HOLE ABOUT THE SIZE OF A SOFTBALL. THE REST OF THE SAME PANEL WAS SHATTERED. MY WIFE AND I LITERALLY JUMPED. SHE HOLLERED. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD SHOT THE WINDOW. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT IN FRONT OF THE WINDOW WHEN IT BLEW. I ASKED THE MAN WHO INSTALLED THE NEW ONE AND HE SAID HE DOES ABOUT 5 OF THESE A YEAR. I CHECKED ONLINE, AND ONE WEBSITE HAD 104 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE F150 WINDOW BLOWING OUT. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE CHECKED INTO. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER LEAKED INSIDE THE VEHICLE DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE LEAK ORIGINATED FROM THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

WHILE DRIVING I TURNED ON THE DEFROSTER FOR THE BACK WINDOW AND APPROX. 1 MINUTE LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR SECTION OF THE BACK WINDOW SHATTERED I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25 MILES AN HOUR AFTER MAKING A TURN THIS HAPPENED. *JS

WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME ON A 30 DEGREE SNOWY DAY WITH REAR DEFROSTER ON. BACKED INTO THE GARAGE AND AS SHE TURNED THE TRUCK OFF A LOT BANG OCCURRED. I WAS IN THE GARAGE AT THE TIME AND REALIZED THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW SPIDER CRACKED AND ESSENTIALLY SHATTERED. FORD SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL, HAD REPLACED THE NEXT DAY FOR 600 DOLLARS.

WHILE DRIVING MY FORD F150 ON A STATE HIGHWAY I TURNED ON THE DEFROST SWITCH FOR THE REAR WINDOW. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES TIME THE REAR WINDOW PANEL SHATTERED WITH A LOUD POP EXPELLING GLASS SHARDES OVER THE REAR SEATING AREA. A SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC ACCOMPANIED THIS INCIDENT CAUSING ME AND MY FAMILY TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND EVACUATE THE VEHICLE. THIS TRUCK HAS 58000 MILES ON IT AND FORD SAYS ITS NOT THERE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH AFTER RESEARCHING THIS MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME EXPERIENCE.

TRUCK STALLS COMING TO A STOP AT RED LIGHTS/STOP SIGNS. ALSO STALLS WHILE SIMPLY DRIVING DOWN A STREET OR HIGHWAY/INTERSTATE. AFTER SHUTTING DOWN RECENTLY (WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE), THE TRUCK WAS TOWED. I WAS TRAVELING AT 65MPH ON INTERSTATE AT THE TIME AND WAS ABLE TO DRIFT INTO EMERGENCY LANE. AFTER SEVERAL TESTS, LEARNED THERE WAS A PROBLEM IN THE FUSE BOX. THE FUSE TO THE FUEL PUMP WAS MELTED IN THE FUSE BOX. WAS TOLD THE FUEL PUMP ON THESE YEARS PULLS MORE THAN REQUIRED AMPS AND IS OVERHEATING THE FUSE AND MELTING IT. WAS TOLD THE FUSE BOX WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AND FORD HAS A 4 TO 6 WEEK BACK ORDER ON THESE. BECAUSE OF SO MANY ISSUES. NOT FAIR FOR CONSUMERS TO PAY FOR THIS ENGINEERING MISTAKE.

THE TRUCK MISSES AT AN IDLE AND WE ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE DRIVE SHAFT REPLACED.

IT WAS A 45 DEGREE DAY I TURNED ON REAR DEFROSTER FOR APPROX. 10 MINUTES VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY I HEARD A LOUD POP AND PASSENGER SIDE REAR GLASS IN THE 3 PIECE UNIT WAS BLOWN OUT THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY THE SMELL OF BURNT RUBBER I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE PLEASE REVIEW.

WHILE DRIVING ON A LOCAL ROAD (APPROX. 45 MPH, RAINING, APPROX. 50 DEGREES OUTSIDE) HEARD A SOUND THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT. LOOKED AROUND AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING NEXT TO ME OR BEHIND ME. WHEN NEXT STOPPED THE TRUCK GOT OUT TO CHECK TO SEE IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THE TRUCK BODY. THEN REALIZED THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. (IT'S A 3-PART REAR WINDOW.) LOOKING VERY CLOSELY, THE GLASS SPIDERED, STARTING FROM THE BOTTOM CORNER CLOSEST TO THE CENTER WINDOW UP TO THE OPPOSITE TOP CORNER. THE GLASS SPIDERED INSIDE THE CAR. OUTSIDE THE GLASS, ALTHOUGH STILL INTACT, WAS BUCKLED FACING OUT. AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WAS ON. WHEN GOT BACK IN TRUCK TO TRAVEL HOME, DURING THE DRIVE THE WINDOW BROKE WITH SMALL PIECES OF GLASS FALLING ALL OVER THE BACK SEAT. VERY LUCKY THAT NO ONE, FAMILY OR PET, WAS IN THE BACKSEAT WHEN THIS HAPPENED AS WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY BROKEN GLASS. BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO REAR DEFROSTER ALONG WITH GLASS MANUFACTURING. CONTACTED THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND SINCE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY CAN FIX BUT AT LEAST $1000. CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY, NO RECALL AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, AN ABNORMAL SOUND EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 63,500.

I TURNED ON MY DEFROST ON MY REAR TRUCK WINDOW, LET THE TRUCK WARM UP AS IT WAS -5, STARTED TO DRIVE DOWN THE STREET, DOING 50 KM, HEARD A LOUD "POP" AND THE BACK SLIDING WINDOW SHATTERED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. LUCKILY IT STAYED INTACT AS I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK. I STOPPED AT FORD TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO, AS I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE FORD TRUCKS. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT FORD SAID HE COULND'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME AS I NO LONGER HAD WARRANTY. HE WANTED TO CHARGE ME $1200 FOR A NEW WINDOW. I CALLED FORD MOTOR CO. AND THEY ALSO SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT (EVEN THO IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM). I HAD THE WINDOW FIXED BY AN INDEPENDENT COMPANY FOR HALF THE PRICE FORD WOULD HAVE CHARGED. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, AS IT IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY HAZARD. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON THE NHTSA SITE.

EXPLODING REAR GLASS. DRIVING THRU KANSAS AND ENCOUNTERED SOME FREEZING RAIN. I ACTIVATED THE HEATED MIRRORS AND REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER AS THE TEMP OUTSIDE WAS AROUND 25 DEGREES. I WAS TRAVELING AROUND 40MPH IN THE INTERSTATE AT THE TIME, A FEW MINUTES AFTER I HAD ACTIVATED THE DEFROSTER WE HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT. AFTER A QUICK LOOK AROUND WE NOTICED ONE SECTION OF THE REAR WINDOW HAD EXPLODED. MY YOUNG DAUGHTER WAS IN HER CAR SEAT DIRECTLY UNDER THE WINDOW AND HAD SMALL SHARDS OF GLASS IN HER HAIR. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE WE HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR BUT THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT. WE ARE HOPING FOR A NHTSA INTERVENTION FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE,

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AFTER HAVING THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER ON FOR ~5 TO 10 MINS HEARD LOUD POP. THOUGHT SOMETHING HIT THE TRUCK UPON INVESTIGATION FOUND REAR PASSENGER SIDE SECTION OF BACK GLASS SHATTERED BUT STILL IN PLACE. GOOGLED PROBLEM ON INTERNET AND FOUND MANY OTHER INSTANCES THAT HAD THIS SAME ISSUE ON SEVERAL FORUMS. NO SIGNS OF IMPACT WHERE ANYTHING HIT THE WINDOW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE DEFROSTER WAS ACTIVATED, THE REAR WINDSHIELD SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED HOWEVER, THE REAR WINDOW WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

THE TRUCK WILL JUST STALL WITH NO WARNING AND NO ENGINE ERROR CODES. I WAS GOING FROM A STOP TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND STALLED IN MIDDLE OF 4 LANE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO PUT THE ENGINE IN PARK AND START THE ENGINE IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF THE HIGHWAY. MY NEPHEW WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK A WEEK PRIOR AND IT STALLED AT A STOP LIGHT AND PROCEEDED TO ROLE DOWN A HILL. HE HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE. IT DOES NOT PRODUCE ANY ENGINE ERROR CODES. THE TRUCK WILL BE RUNNING JUST FINE THEN THE ENGINE WILL JUST QUIT. RESEARCHING ONLINE FOR FORD 5.4L F150 ENGINE STALLS IT APPEARS OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES. I TOOK IT THE OTHER DAY AND IT WAS STATED THAT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEN THEY SAID IT COULD BE A O2 SENSOR. MY EXPERIENCE WITH FAULTY O2 SENSORS IS USUALLY ROUGH IDLE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHICH MY TRUCK DOES NOT HAVE. I UNDERSTAND IT MAYBE A HARD PROBLEM TO SOLVE BUT IT APPEARS THAT THIS COULD BE A BIG SAFETY PROBLEM DUE TO LOSS OF POWER.

THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND WHEN SLOWING TO MAKE A SHARP TURN CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STOP AND LOOSE BRAKING AND STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE FORD DEALER AT A COST OF $820.25 TO REPLACE PART # 8F9Z 9F472 E SENSOR HEGO, ON THE FIRST VISIT WHICH DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, ON THE NEXT VISIT TO THE DEALER PART # 8F9Z 9E730 G SENSOR HEGO AND PART # 9L3Z 9E730 G VALVE ASY FUEL VAPOUR WERE REPLACED WHICH CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN APPROACHING STOP SINGS AND WHEN SLOWING TO MAKE A SHARP TURN ON HIGHWAYS WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC BEHIND MY VEHICLE CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKES AND STEERING. I HAVE THE INVOICES IN MY POSSESSION BUT AM UNABLE TO UPLOAD.

2010 FORD F150 PLATINUM LEFT REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WHEN USING REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER. TURNED DEFROSTER ON AND HEARD A LOUD CRACK AFTER APPROX 3 MINUTES USE. 11/21/2015. SIMILAR TO OTHER SCENARIOS AND REPLIES POSTED HERE BUT I HAVE ADDED SOME PHOTOS. IT WOULD APPEAR A WATER LEAK HAS CAUSED WATER TO BUILD UP IN THE TRACK AND SHORTED THE CIRCUIT. 1ST IMAGE OF SHATTERED WINDOW. 2ND IMAGE OF MELTED WINDOW CASING.

THE ORIGINAL MICHELIN TIRES ON MY 2010 F-150, HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO CRACKING AROUND THE RIM ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE. TIRES HAD 31346 MILES AT REPLACEMENT ON 5 OCT 2015. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL REAR SHOCKS AT 31360 MILES DUE TO ONE LEAKING AND ONE THAT WAS NOT WORKING AT ALL.

I PURCHASED A 2010 FORD F150 XLT ON 31MAY2010. ON 15 APRIL 2015, I NOTICED THAT CONDENSATION WAS ACCUMULATING ON THE INSIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD. SINCE THE WINDSHIELD HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPLACE, I ASSUMED THAT IT HAD A LEAK, AND HAD A NEW WINDSHIELD INSTALLED UNDER THE WARRANTY. AGAIN ON THE MORNING OF 4 MAY 2015, WATER WAS ACCUMULATED ON THE INSIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD, AGAIN THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED. ON 2 NOV 2015, THE INSIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD WAS DRIPPING WITH CONDENSATION. I GOT ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANYTHING OTHER THAN A BAD WINDSHIELD WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I LOCATED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS INDICATING PROBLEMS WITH THE SATELLITE ANTENNA LEAKING AND THE THIRD BREAK LIGHT LEAKING INTO THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. I THEN TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER, JOHNSON BROTHERS FORD WHO CONFIRMED THAT I DID INDEED HAVE A LEAK AT BOTH THE ANTENNA AND BREAK LIGHT, THE TRUCK WHILE ONLY HAVING 31000 MILES, WAS 5 1/2 YEARS OLD, AND OUT OF THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY PERIOD, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE PROBLEMS EITHER.I WAS QUOTED A COST OF $740. TO REPLACE THE LIGHT AND ANTENNA. I REPLACED THE LIGHT MY SELF, AND THEY CHARGED $440.00 TO REPLACE THE ANTENNA, I INCURRED ANOTHER COST OF $304. TO HAVE THE CARPETS REMOVED DRIED OUT, FLOOR TREATED FOR ANY MILDEW, OR MOLD, AND REINSTALLED. I COMPLAINED TO FORD, THIS IS A DESIGN ISSUE THAT HAS GONE ON SINCE 1998. FORD SHOULD BE FORCED TO DO A RECALL. I ALSO HAD A GALLON OF WATER ON MY FLOOR AFTER THE CARPETS WERE REMOVED. SOMEONE AT THE FACTORY PLACED TAPE OVER THE DRAIN HOLES OF THE FLOOR BOARD WHEN THE TRUCK WAS MADE. WHILE WE DID HAVE A LOT OF RAIN IN TEXAS THIS YEAR, WHICH MAY ACCOUNT FOR THE AMOUNT OF WATER IN THE VEHICLE, IT STILL STANDS TO REASON NO VEHICLE SHOULD BE LEAKING THRU ANTENNAS, OR BREAK LIGHTS. EVEN THE TSB'S DO NOT WORK AS MY ANTENNA HAD SILICONE ON THE ANTENNA FROM THE FACTORY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE CONTACT PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND THE REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED AND BURN MARKS WERE AT THE CENTER GLASS. THE REAR DEFROSTER HAD BEEN ACTIVATED FOR APPROXIMATELY TWENTY MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

REAR GLASS SHATTERED UPON USE OF THE REAR DEFROST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK AT APPROXIMATELY 2 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A BRICK BUILDING. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DECLARED DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR, TEMPERATURE ACTUATOR, HEATING & AIR SYSTEM QUIT WORKING CORRECTLY ON DRIVER'S SIDE OF VEHICLE. APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ISSUE ON OTHER FORD MODELS. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN A SITUATION WHERE THE WINDSHIELD WAS FOGGY OR ICY. BUT VERY CONCERNED THAT IT COULD BE A PROBLEM FOR OTHERS. IF THIS PART WOULD FAIL SOMEONE IN A ICE STORM OR VERY HUMID CONDITIONS, IT WOULD BECOME A VISION PROBLEM FOR THE DRIVER. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE SEVERAL OTHERS PEOPLE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS - I DO NOT KNOW IF ANY RESULTING ACCIDENTS OCCURRED.

ENGINE STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING. MY TRUCK STALLED OUT ON ME 3 TIMES ON 10/21/15, AND HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES BEFORE BUT ALWAYS ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ON THE 21ST, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 5-10 MPH IN A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT WHEN MY TRUCK STALLED FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT DAY. ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES LATER, MY TRUCK STALLED TWO MORE TIMES, ONCE AT ABOUT THE SAME SPEED AS BEFORE AND ONCE WHILE I WAS SWITCHING LANES AT ABOUT 40 MPH. THIS ALSO MEAN I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND ALMOST GOT INTO 2 ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. AFTER THE PROBLEM OCCURS, AN OIL FUNNEL LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN I SHIFT MY TRUCK MANUALLY INTO NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY AND MY TRUCK FIRES RIGHT BACK UP WITHOUT HESITATION. I DROVE MY TRUCK STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I LET THEM TEST AND DRIVE IT FOR 2 DAYS AND THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM, THE TRUCK DIDN'T THROW ANY CODES EITHER AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS NORMAL WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS FOR THE OIL FUNNEL LIGHT TO COME ON. I'M AT A LOSS FOR WHAT COULD BE WRONG WITH MY TRUCK AND AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. IF MY TRUCK DOES THIS TO ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IT COULD RESULT IN A HUGE ACCIDENT.

FUEL PUMP RELAY FUSE (#27) WILL EITHER BLOW OR MELT IN FUSE BOX. REPLACING FUSE WILL ONLY FIX PROBLEM TEMPORARILY, AS MELTED AREA IN FUSE BOX WILL CAUSE NEW FUSE TO NOT MAKE CONSISTENT CONTACT, LEADING TO VEHICLE NOT STARTING WHEN HOT, OR EVEN ENGINE CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING REALLY BAD SAFETY ISSUE. VERY DIFFICULT PROBLEM TO FIX, AS DEALERS EITHER GIVE YOU THE RUN AROUND OR WANT TO REPLACE ENTIRE FUSE BOX AND ENGINE WIRING HARNESS WHICH COSTS ABOUT $2000, PARTS AND LABOR. 'SOLUTION' IS TO FIND WIRE TO RELAY IN FUSE BOX, VERY DIFFICULT, AND SPLICE IN AN INLINE FUSE. HAVE HAD MECHANIC AND TOWING FEES OVER $1000 SO FAR, AND STILL ONLY HAVE A BYPASS FUSE INSTALLED. LOCAL DEALER WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, AS THEY SEE THIS PROBLEM ALL OF THE TIME, WAS TOLD TO CALL FORD, WHICH HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. ANOTHER FORD OWNER NEXT DOOR HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH ON A PAVED ROAD WHEN THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A HARD JOLT, THE REAR TIRES LOCKED UP AND CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME. AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP I APPLIED BRAKES AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. I THEN RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AT WHICH TIME I NOTICED A ORANGE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I PUT THE VEHICLE BACK IN PARK, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND CALLED A WRECKER SERVICE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. MY F 150 HAD APPROXIMATELY 53,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN THIS OCCURRED. HADTHIS OCCURRD A FEW MINUTES LATER I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN POTENTIAL FOR THIS CAUSING A DANGEROUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOT USED THIS VEHICLE TO PULL TRAILERS OR CARRY ANY HEAVY LOADS SINCE NEW. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY TRANSMISSION, BRAKE OR OTHER POWER TRAIN ISSUES SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE NEW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

STARTED REAR DEFROST DUE TO FOG ON THE WINDSHIELD. DROVE ABOUT 5 MILES AT 25 MPH AND HEARD A VERY LOUD POP. IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING HIT THE ROOF. PROCEEDED TO WORK AND LOOKED AT THE REAR GLASS. THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SPIDERWEB. TAPE WAS PLACED ON THE WINDOW IN AN EFFORT TO HOLD SHARDS OF GLASS THAT WERE FALLING OFF. AS I WAS TAPING ADDITIONAL SMALL GLASS SHARDS WERE FOUND. FORD IS UNWILLING TO ADMIT THAT ANY OF THIS MIGHT BE DUE TO A PRODUCT DEFECT. THIS WILL COST AROUND 600.00 TO REPLACE AND OF COURSE A DAY OFF WORK.

WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE VEHICLE DIED AND MADE FUNNY NOISES WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START... TOOK FIVE TRIES BEFORE VEHICLE STARTED.
