IN 2017 WE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT DO TO LOSS OFF POWER ON 12/23/17 WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER THEN THUNK WHEELS WOULD BARELY MORE.CITY STREET MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN SO NOW IT'S SIT IN THE GARAGE NOT MOVING TO GET IT FIX ALMOST 1500.00 THAT I DON'T HAVE

ABS & TCS WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, WHEN DIAGNOSED IT READS A CODE B1342 FAULTY ABS CONTROL MODULE. I HAVE TRIED DESPERATELY TO FIND A REPLACEMENT ALL THE DEALERS SEEM TO HAVE THEM ON BACK ORDER WHIT NO SHIP DATE KNOWN. NONE OF THE PARTS HOUSES SELL THIS PARTICULAR MODULE IT IS A 1 YEAR PART ONLY I CALLED SEVERAL WRECKING YARDS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND WAS TOLD THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. I FINALLY LOCATED ONE BUT IT WASN'T EASY. HOW MANY OTHER 2009 F150 TRUCKS ARE OR WILL BE ON THE ROAD WITH FAULTY BRAKES AND ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THEM.

ON DECEMBER 15, 2017, WHILE DRIVING ON I35 IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS, THE F150 AUTONOMOUSLY ACCELERATED TO MAXIMUM RPM AND WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON. WE WERE FORCED TO RIDE THE BREAKS HARD UNTIL WE WERE ABLE TO EXIT THE FREEWAY, PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND BREAK TO A STOP. WE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE STILL WENT TO MAXIMUM RPMS SO WE SHUT DOWN THE VEHICLE AGAIN. FIVE MINUTES LATER WE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE PERFORMED NORMALLY. WE DROVE IT IMMEDIATELY TO OUR LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THE LOCAL AUTO REPAIR CENTER WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE SHOWS NO FAULT CODES. UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET, WE DISCOVERED NO OPEN RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND WE ARE NOT THE ONLY FORD CUSTOMERS TO EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD F-150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE, IT REVVED UP. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,000.

SUDDEN COMPLETE BREAK FAILURE. WITHOUT ANY PREVIOUS BREAKING PROBLEM OR INDICATION OF BREAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM THE BREAKING SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS DECELERATING WITH NO PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS A FEW HUNDRED YARDS FROM A RED LIGHT AND ATTEMPTED TO APPLY GENTLE BRAKE PRESSURE, THE BREAK PEDAL GAVE NO RESISTANCE, EASILY PUSHED TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BREAKING CAPACITY WHATSOEVER. THE BREAK TROUBLE LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME INSTANT FAILURE OCCURRED. RELEASING AND REAPPLYING THE BREAKS HAD NO EFFECT, ONLY DUE TO MY EARLY RESPONSE TO THE RED LIGHT ALLOWED ME ENOUGH TIME AND DISTANCE TO USE THE COLUMN SHIFTER TO DOWNSHIFT, THUS DECELERATING WITH THE ENGINE UNTIL REACHING 1ST GEAR. AT WHICH POINT I WAS ABLE TO USE THE PARKING BREAK TO FULLY STOP THE VEHICLE.

MY VEHICLE SIMPLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY, TWICE. AFTER A SMALL COOL DOWN PERIOD, THE VEHICLE STARTED UP AGAIN AND SEEMED FINE TILL A FEW DAYS LATER WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY. ACCORDING TO FORD, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH A FUSE THAT CONTROLS THE FUEL PUMP. IT OVERHEATS AND FAILS CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO STOP WORKING. THEY ALSO HAVE A $20 KIT TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS SO COMMON. WHY THIS IS NOT A RECALL IS BEYOND ME. MY WIFE AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE.

TAKATA RECALL......I HAVE A 2009 F-150 AND ALL 3 OF THE 4 DOOR HANDLES OPEN SOMETIMES WHEN YOU TRY OPEN THE DOOR THE 1ST TIME 1 OF THE DOOR HANDLES YOU CAN ONLY OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE THE DRIVER DOOR HAS A BURN MARK AROUND THE LACH OF THE DOOR THAT WAS NEVER THERE.......I CALLED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT YEAR OF MY TRUCK AND I WAS TOLD NO.....HOW CAN THAT BE?

2009 FORD F150 WITH 146,000 MILES NEEDED TO HAVE ENGINE REPLACED DUE TO SCORED CAMS. IT APPEARS THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 5.4 ENGINES. WE ARE ONE-TIME OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE GREAT MAINTENANCE RECORDS. I BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE FOR THIS

FIRST THE RIGHT REAR DOOR SHOWS THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR SO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING FOR ABOUT TEN MILES BEFORE THEY GO OUT AND WHEN YOU STOP THE VEHICLE AND GET OUT THE LIGHTS STAY ON FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES SO IT RUNS THE BATTERY DOWN. SECOND THING IS THE DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE DON'T RETURN TO THE CLOSED POSITION IT STAYS HALF WAY OUT AND A PIECE OF PLASTIC FELL OUT OF DOOR HANDLE I CONTACTED THE FORD COMPANY ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE PROBLEMS. I MYSELF THINK THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE A SAFETY PROBLEM AND VERY AGGRAVATING

SUDDEN ACCELERATION AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, TRUCK KEPT ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN, HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES I HAD TO PUT IT ON PARKING FOR THE TRUCK TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP.

SEAT BELT MECHANISM IN THE DRIVERS SIDE, REAR DOOR FAILS TO RECOIL BACK THEREFORE, THE MAIN MECHANISM AT THE BOTTOM TWISTS AND I AM NOT ABLE TO EXTEND THE SEAT BELT SAFELY UNLESS I REOPEN THE DOOR AND UNWIND THE SEAT BELT (THIS HAPPENS BEFORE I PUT MY TRUCK IN MOTION AND SOMETIMES I DO NOT REALIZE IT IS TWISTED UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND UNTWIST THE SEAT BELT).....ALSO, THIS HAS CAUSED THE RUBBER/PLASTIC PIECE ALONG THE SIDE OF THE FLOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE TO TEAR, EXPOSING WIRES, WHICH ARE ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE.

AS I WAS BACKING THE TRUCK INTO THE GARAGE, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE BECAUSE MY DRIVEWAY HAS AN DECLINE, THE TRUCK TOOK OFF. IN OTHER WORDS UNINTENDED ACCERLATION. THE ENGINE RPMS WENT VERY HIGH AND THE TRUCK WENT VERY FAST IN REVERSE HITTING MY GARAGE WALL AND MY FATHER WHO UNFORTUNATELY WAS IN THE WAY. ONCE THE TRUCK TOOK OFF I DESPERATELY TRIED PUSHING ON THE BRAKES AND SLAMMING THE TRUCK INTO PARK BUT THE TRUCK DIDN'T STOP UNTIL IT HIT THE GARAGE WALL. MY FATHER SUFFERED A BROKEN LEG BUT WAS INCHES AWAY FROM BEING KILLED. THE TIRE TRACKS ON THE GARAGE FLOOR SHOWED DRAG MARKS AS IF THE FRONT WHEELS HAD LOCKED UP AS THE BACK WHEELS SPED UP. THIS WAS A HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO WHY FORD VEHICLES ARE DOING THIS. THERE IS NO WAY MY FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATION, ALTHOUGH THIS IS WHAT THE MANUFACTURE IS GOING TO CLAIM.

AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, I ACCELERATED RAPIDLY AND LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL ONCE I REACHED THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT...THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN !! I HAD TO STOMP ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN, THREW IT IN NEUTRAL AND ROLLED TO A SCARY STOP. THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO REV TO 4000 RPM'S WHILE IN NEUTRAL. MY WIFE JUMPED OUT OF TRUCK WHILE WE WERE AT A RED LIGHT. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF TRUCK. WHILE TRUCK WAS REVVING IN NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN, I TRIED STOMPING ON GAS PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES TO TRY TO STOP IT FROM REVVING TO NO AVAIL. I FINALLY TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTED IT A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE TRUCK IDLED NORMAL. I IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL THE FLOOR MAT DID NOT INTERFERE WITH THE PEDAL. I DO HAVE A VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT ON MY PHONE. *TR
