2010 Ford F-150 complaints

THE FACTORY INSTALL TIRES ON MY F150 FX4 - PIRELLI SCORPION TIRES FAILED ORIGINALLY AROUND 10,000 MILES. REPORTED TO DEALER, THEY ADVISED THE TIRES WERE OK. HAD NO ISSUES. SIDEWALLS STARTED TO CRACK IN MULTIPLE PLACES ON ALL 4 TIRES, TIRES LOOKED WEATHER CHECKED, AND FINALLY HAD THEM REPLACED WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF ORIGINAL REPORT. TIRES WERE REPLACED BY DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT PIRELLI SCORPION TIRES - ALTERNATE TIRE OPTION REQUEST WAS DECLINED. THESE WERE REPLACED UNDER FORD'S WARRANTY. THE REPLACEMENT PIRELLI SCORPION TIRES STARTED TO FAIL AGAIN AT 30,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK ( ONLY 20,000 ON THE TIRES). REPLACEMENT TIRES WERE DATE CODED ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD, AND WERE ALSO CRACKING ON THE SIDEWALLS IN THE SAME FASHION AS THE ORIGINAL TIRES. PER READING INFORMATION ON F150FORUM.COM - THIS IS A RATHER COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THIS TIRES. *TR

PIRELLI SCORPION TIRES SIDEWALLS WEATHER CHAPPED OR CRACKED WITHIN THE FIRST 10,000 MILES OF DRIVING. THEY WERE REPLACED UNDER FORD'S WARRANTY - AND THE REPLACEMENT TIRES ALSO CRACKED AGAIN WITHIN 20,000 MILES. THE CRACKS IN THE RUBBER FORM IN A CONTINUOUS CIRCLE AROUND THE BEAD AND THE SIDEWALL OF THESE TIRES. READING ONLINE FORUM F150FORUM.COM - MANY OTHER USERS OF THESE TIRES HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

SINCE MARCH OF 2012, MY 2010 F150 XLT, 4.6 L V8 HAS RANDOMLY STALLED AT LEAST 8 TIMES. I FEEL THAT IT IS A TREMENDOUS HAZARD TO ME AND MY FAMILY. STALLING OCCURS WHEN I'M EXITING FROM THE HIGHWAY AFTER TRAVELING 10-20 MILES AT 45-60 MPH, TAKING A TURN (RIGHT OR LEFT), AND SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP. I USUALLY HAVE THE A/C AND RADIO ON. MY CELL IS ALSO SYNCHED. THE ONLY WARNING I GET IS THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES GO OUT. THEN A WARNING SIGNAL COMES ON. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS TURNING ONTO A 2-WAY ROAD. POWER STEERING FAILURE SURPRISED ME AND I TURNED IN TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND PULL OVER IN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC'S SHOULDER. IT RESTARTED RIGHT AWAY. SINCE THEN IT'S HAPPENED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES IN SIMILAR INSTANCES--WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP. RESTARTING IS GETTING HARDER. IT ALSO HAPPENED AFTER FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION. IT TOOK ME SEVERAL TRIES TO GET IT TO START. OF COURSE, THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAVE TAKEN IT CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEIR COMPUTER CANNOT FIND A CODE. WHEN THEY RETURNED THE TRUCK TO ME, THEY SAID CALL THEM IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, DON'T RESTART IT BECAUSE THAT ERASES ANY CODES, AND THEY'LL SEND A TOW TRUCK. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AND I FOLLOWED THEIR DIRECTIONS. NOT TURNING THE KEY DIDN'T HELP ANYTHING WITH OBTAINING CODES, BECAUSE THEY ARE STILL NOT GETTING ANY READINGS. I SPOKE WITH THE SHOP MANAGER. HE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A BAD COIL CAUSING BAD RADIO FREQUENCIES, THUS SHUTTING DOWN TH

UPON ENTERING AND STARTING THE TRUCK THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID NOT WORK AT ALL IN 4 SEPARATE CASES, THE 5TH OCCURRENCE THE DRIVERS SIDE WIPER WORKED BUT NOT THE PASSENGER SIDE. OBVIOUSLY I ONLY USE THE WIPERS IN BAD WEATHER SO WHEN I NEED THEM MOST FOR SAFETY THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE NOT FUNCTIONED. I HAVE RETURNED THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR EACH TIME AND HAVE CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE CASE # 1496470901, I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS FURTHER ATTENTION AS I NOW HAVE NO CONFIDENCE AT ALL IN THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150 STX SUPER CAB. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 20 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DROVE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE CANISTER VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 19,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AROUND FEBRUARY 6TH 2011 AND MY 2010 F150 STALLED ON ME. I WAS ABLE TO CRANK IT BACK UP AND KEEPING MOVING. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED. IT WAS THE WORST ONE SEEING HAS HOW I WAS DOING MAYBE 60. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND A PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK, SO DOWNLOADED SOME NEW SOFTWARE TO MY COMPUTER AND SAID THAT SHOULD FIX THE ISSUE. ON APRIL 11TH THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, I WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT AND MY TRUCK STALLED. I WASN'T ABLE TO CRANK THE TRUCK BACK UP FOR ALMOST 30 MINUTES. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO START IT BACK UP THERE ARE A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE TRUCK. I THIS TIME HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO FORD AND SPOKE TO THEM TODAY AND THEY STATED THEY AGAIN FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND COULDN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THE HAVE CONTACTED FORD HQ FOR ANSWERS. MY WORRY IS THAT I AM GOING TO GET IN A CRASH BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE DONE SOME LOOKING AROUND ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE, AND NOTHING SEEMS TO BE GETTING DONE. *TR

WHEN DECLERATING TO A STOP OR STOPPED THE ENGINE WILL DIE. WHEN I ATTEMPT A RESTART THE ENGINE WILL TRY TO TURN OVER FOR 10-15 SECONDS THEN STOP. AFTER 3 OR 4 ATTEMPS AND GIVING A LITTLE GAS THE TRUCK WILL START. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 5 TIMES TO ME IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO FORD AND THEY DIDNT RETURN ANY CODES SO NOTHING REPAIRED. THEY FIT MY TRUCK WITH A RECORDER AND I AM SUPPOSE TO PRESS A BUTTON NEXT TIME IT DIES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS ISSUE AS I HAVE SEEN DOZENS OF POSTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

THERE WAS A HORRIBLE STORM LAST NIGHT. I GOT INTO MY TRUCK THIS MORNING AND THE ENTIRE BACK SEAT WAS SOAKED! I SPOKE WITH 2 OTHER FORD F150 TRUCK OWNERS AND THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. BOTH OF THEIR ISSUES WERE THE RESULT OF THE EXTERIOR LIGHT ON THE TOP BACK OF THE VEHICLE. I CALLED FORD IN TEMPLE TX. THEY CONFIRMED THEY HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE A COUPLE OF OTHER TIMES AND IT WAS IN FACT THE EXTERIOR LIGHT LEAKING AS IT WAS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED. I HAVE TO NOW PAY FOR THIS MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. THIS SHOULD BE REPORTED AS A RECALL AS IT HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL FORD F150 TRUCK OWNERS. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF FORD! *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW OF THE CREW CAB SHATTERED ONCE THE DEFROSTER WAS ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO ASSIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000.

I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES SINCE NEW WITH VARIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, INCLUDING HARSH SHIFTING, SHUDDER, AND NOW THE DRIVETRAIN LOCKING UP OR VIOLENTLY DOWNSHIFTING, ETC. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REMOVED TWICE FOR EVALUATION AND INSPECTION. WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON 2/2/12 THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY DECELERATED TO A STOP, REAR WHEELS WERE LOCKED UP AFTER SLIGHT DEPRESSION ON BRAKE PEDAL PREPARING TO MAKE A TURN. THE SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. THE TRUCK WAS STOPPED IN ROAD AND WOULD NOT MOVE. TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FROM INCIDENT. FORD RESPONDS THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM; THEREFORE NO CORRECTIVE ACTION IS RECOMMENDED. WEB MESSAGE BOARDS REPORT A SIMILAR PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS VIOLENT DOWNSHIFT FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR. FORD WILL NOT PROVIDE AN ASSESSMENT ON VEHICLE SAFETY, DECLINING TO COMMENT EITHER BECAUSE THE PERSON SPEAKING FOR THEM IS NOT QUALIFIED, OR THAT THEY CANNOT ASSESS UNLESS THEY CAN REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME, I WILL NOT PUT MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

AFTER OWNING MY TRUCK FOR NEARLY 2 YEARS I BEGAN TO NOTICE A MUSTY SMELL. LAST WEEKEND MY KIDS WERE RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT AND NOTICED WATER POOLED ON THE CENTER SEATBELT FRAME. I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT THE SLIDING GLASS WINDOW WAS PARTIALLY OPENED, BUT IT WASN'T. BESIDES IT WAS NO WHERE NEAR WHERE THE WATER WAS POOLING. THEN WE NOTICED IN BOTH CORNERS OF THE HEADLINER DARK WATER STAINS. JUST BY LOOKING AT THE CAB OF THE TRUCK IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE IT IS THE MOLDING THAT EXTENDS ABOUT 18 INCHES UP THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. I'M THINKING IT WASN'T PROPERLY SEALED ON THE ROOF. I AM SURE IT HAS BEEN LEAKING SINCE DAY ONE,BUT WITH THE DROUGHT HERE IN HOUSTON FOR THE LAST YEAR I AM JUST NOW NOTICING SINCE IT RAINS AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK. FORD IS SAYING IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. EXCUSE ME BUT WHY IS THIS CONSIDERED WARRANTY WORK WHEN IT IS CLEARLY CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THE TRUCK. FIRST TIME FORD OWNER BUT NEVER AGAIN. I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO EXPLAIN ALL THE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKE ISSUES. *TR

ENGINE STALLS AT RANDOM SPEEDS AFTER BRAKING OR COMING TO A STOP. MOST RECENTLY WHILE BRAKING FOR A TURN, RIGHT HAND FORK AT ABOUT 35 MPH, ENGINE STALLED LOSING POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND COMMON FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND ON THE INTERNET. ALL 3 LOCAL FORD DEALERS ACT LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. I AM SURE THAT IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CORRECT IT, BUT THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION. IT IS A 2010 "NEW" TRUCK AND I WONT LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT WITH THE KIDS BECAUSE IT IS DANGEROUS. *TR

THERE HAS ALSO BEEN TIMES WHEN THE TRANSMISSION CLUNKS THEN DROPS INTO A GEAR. ALSO EXPERIENCING VIBRATION WHEN SLOWING DOWN. THE BODY ALSO BOUNCES BAD ENOUGH WHERE IT WILL GET TO THE POINT OF BEING UNCONTROLLABLE. I ONLY HAVE 26,000 MI ON THE TRUCK AND DRIVE HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-F150 XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE MAIN COMPUTER AND THE WIRING BLOCKS NEEDED REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

DURING DAY TIME DRIVING IN RAIN OR OVERCAST THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE SPEED YOU ARE GOING. SWITCHING FROM AUTOMATIC TO MANUAL CONTROL OF HEADLIGHTS HAS NO EFFECT ON DASH LIGHTS. THEY STAY OFF! I BELIEVE THIS AFFECTS ALL CURRENT FORD VEHICLES. *TR

AT A STOP SIGN, WHEN GETTING READY TO TAKE OFF, REALIZED THE TRUCK HAD TURNED OFF WITH OUT A REASON, SECOND TIME IT DID THE SAME THING. THE THIRD TIME WAS THIS SATURDAY 12/03/11, WHEN I CAME TO THE RED LIGHT, OF COURSE TRUCK WAS RUNNING, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I GOT READY TO GO, THE TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF ONCE AGAIN, STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC I HAD TO TURN IT BACK ON AND GO, PROBLEM IS THIS HAS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AS A SINGLE MOTHER WITH MY SON'S FATHER DECEASED, LAST THING I NEED IS TO BE IN A FATAL ACCIDENTS TO HIS, WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF MANUFACTURE OR A DEALER CAN OR WILL FIX THIS, TRUCK STILL UNDER WARRANTY, JUST VERY CONCERNED WITH THIS ISSUE, CALLED DEALER LEFT VOICEMAIL, AND NO CALL BACK. *TR

AS I WAS TRAVELING ON I-95 TODAY AT 1PM AT 75MPH MY TRUCK SUDDENLY JERKED ME FORWARD AS I LET OFF ACCELERATOR IT DOWNSHIFTED FROM 6TH TO FIRST VIOLENTLY LOCKING ME REAR BRAKES UP AND FISHTAILING ME INTO THE SHOULDER. THE CAR THEN STALLED AND I COASTED SAFELY TO A STOP. THE CAR WOULD START BACK UP AND RUN BUT I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER/ THIS WAS A VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. HAD IT BEEN RAINING OR WET CONDITIONS I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND EVEN DIED. I DO NOT WANT TO UNDERSTATE THIS OCCURRENCE. THIS HAD TO BE LOOKED IN TO IMMEDIATELY. *TR

THE "DOWNHILL DECENT CONTROL FAULT" LIGHT COMES ON AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN THE FAULT LIGHT COMES ON AND REMAINS ON., IT ALSO CAUSES THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE TO COME ON AND REMAIN ON UNTIL YOU CAN THE FAULT LIGHT DECIDES TO GO OFF. SO WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AND EVEN WORSE, WHEN IN TRAFFIC, THE FAULT LIGHT MAY COME ON AND CAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE TO SHINE, SIGNALING TO OTHER DRIVERS THAT THIS VEHICLE IS SLOWING OR COMING TO A STOP, WHEN IT IS NOT. THIS CAN, IN CERTAIN INSTANCES, BE VERY DANGEROUS. TURNING THE VEHICLE IGNITION OFF WILL AT TIME ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM, BUT THAT IS NOT ALWAYS AN OPTION WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, OR IN TRAFFIC. THE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON WITH NO WARNING, AND WITH NO USE OF THE SYSTEM THAT IS INDICATED IS FAULTING. *TR

STARTED TRUCK AT 0700 AM, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 50 DEGREES. THE REAR WINDOW WAS FOGGY SO I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROSTER. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING ALONG A ROAD WITH NO TRAFFIC I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION THAT SOUNDED LIKE A LARGE ROCK HAD LANDED ON THE ROOF OF MY TRUCK. I PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED MY ROOF AND ALL EXTERIOR PANELS OF THE VEHICLE AND DID NOT NOTICE ANY DAMAGE THAT COULD HAVE JUSTIFIED THE NOISE. I COULD NOT FIND ANY "ROCKS" IN OR AROUND MY VEHICLE...NO PEDESTRIANS WERE IN SITE. RETURNED TO CAB AND AS I WAS PULLING BACK ONTO THE ROADWAY I NOTICED THAT MY REAR WINDOW (RIGHT PANEL) WAS SHATTERED. TOOK VEHICLE TO FORD DEALERSHIP THAT EVENING AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT A WARRANTABLE REPAIR. THE GLASS REMAINED INTACT AND THERE WERE NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF A PROJECTILE HITTING THE GLASS (I HAVE PHOTOS). I INSISTED THAT A WARRANTY CLAIM BE OPENED, AND I CONTACTED CUSTOMER RELATIONS. FORD THEN TESTED THE DEFROSTER AND COULD NOT FIND A MALFUNCTION SO THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT WARRANTY THE FAILURE. I HAVE PHOTOS, A CASE NUMBER, DEALER INVOICE, AND VOICE MAIL RECORDINGS OF THE 3 WEEKS OF HELL TRYING TO GET FORD TO DO THE RIGHT THING. THEY FINALLY AGREED TO PAY FOR HALF THE WHOLESALE COST OF A REPLACEMENT GLASS; I HAD IT INSTALLED PROFESSIONALLY ON 11/15/2011. *TR UPDATED 11/14/12 *CN UPDATED UPDATED 11/14/2012 *JS

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN MARCH 2010. AS SOON I BOUGHT THIS I HEARD A SOUND WHEN I MAKE A TURN. IT'S A SOUND WHEN TWO METAL MAKE FRICTION. I TOOK THE CAR FOR SERVICES IN ALBERIC COLON FORD IN DECEMBER 2010. FIRST THEY SAID THAT EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. AFTER THAT ASK FOR A SUPERVISOR THAT MAKE A TEST DRIVE WITH ME HE HEARD THE SOUND AND THEY KEEP A CAR FOR TWO WEEKS. AFTER THAT AS SOON I TOOK THE CAR OUT I HEARD THE SOUND. I DIDN'T TAKE THE CAR BACK THE CAR FOR SERVICES BECAUSE I NEED A CAR TO GO TO WORK. IN AUGUST 2011 I TOOK THE CAR AGAIN TO THE SERVICE. AGAIN THEY SAID THAT EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. I REQUEST ANOTHER TEST DRIVE WITH A SUPERVISOR AND THE MECHANIC THEY HEARD THE SOUND AND KEEP THE CAR FROM SEPTEMBER 6 2011 TO OCTOBER 6 2011. WHEN THE CAR WAS IN THE SERVICES SOMETIME THEY CALL ME AND SAID THAT'S THEY ARE MAKING SOME TEST DRIVE TO KNOW WHERE IT COME FROM THE SOUND. AFTER A MONTH THEY CALL ME AND SAID THAT FORD SAID THAT IS SOMETHING CHARACTERISTIC IN THIS MODEL. YOU DON''T HAVE TO BE AN ENGINEER TO KNOW THAT WHEN TO METAL MAKE FRICTION ONE OF THEM GOING TO FAIL. I HOPE WHEN THIS HAPPEN I DON''T BE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, BECAUSE I COULD GET KILL OR KILL SOMEBODY ELSE. I HOPE YOU INVESTIGATE THIS COMPLAINT AND FIND WHAT'S WRONG BEFORE ANYBODY GET KILL. THIS IS NOT NORMAL I BEEN DRIVING FOR 28 YEARS AND I'M A 24 YEARS EXPERIENCE STATE POLICE HERE IN PUERTO RICO AND I KNOW WHEN SOMETHING GO WRONG THE DAMAGE CAN MADE.

MY TRUCK WONDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD AND SHAKES TO THE POINT THAT THE PASSENGER IS SICK. HARD TO STEER OUT OF RUTS AND CROSSWINDS BLOW THE TRUCK IN TO THE NEXT LANE AND YOU CAN'T CONTROL IT. CAN'T TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD IN FRONT OF YOU TO EVEN LOOK AT THE EXIT SIGNS BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE AND UNPREDICTABLE TO THE POINT THAT YOUR HANDS ARE GOING TO TURN NUMB FROM LACK OF BLOOD IN YOUR FINGERS DUE TO THE WHITE KNUCKLES FROM HANGING ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL SO TIGHT. VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES NOW AND THEY HAVE REPLACE BOTH FRONT SPRINGS AND STRUTS AND HAVE REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION 2 TIMES NOW. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FACTORY TIRES ARE NOT THAT GREAT AND HAVE SOFT SIDE WALLS AND THAT COULD BE THE REASON AS TO WHY IT'S NOT FIXED AND THE FORD SHOCKS ARE UNDER RATED FOR THE VEHICLE. SO I HAVE PUT NEW BILSTIEN 5100 SHOCKS ON ALL THE WAY AROUND AND HAVE PUT BETTER TIRES AND WHEELS ON IT. TRUCK STILL DOES THE SAME THING. THIS TRUCK IS UNSAFE AND HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE. HERE ARE THE OTHER COMPLAINT #'S. 10392353, 10407502, 10336730. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE FORD HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED ANY OF THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE.

DASH INSTRUMENT LIGHTING DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN MANUALLY TURNING ON THE HEADLAMPS. THE CLUSTER LAMPS ARE APPARENTLY CONTROLLED AUTOMATICALLY BY A SENSOR LOCATED ON THE DASH, HOWEVER IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE DASH METERS WHEN IT IS DARK ENOUGH TO TURN ON THE HEADLAMPS, BUT NOT LIGHT ENOUGH FOR THE SENSOR TO ENGAGE. YOU CAN BE DRIVING IN A RAINSTORM AND HEADLAMPS ARE NEEDED, BUT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LAMPS WILL NOT TURN ON AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ANY OF THE READINGS ON THE GAUGES. APPARENTLY THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT FORD WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. JUST THE WAY IT THE VEHICLE IS DESIGNED. THIS IS HAZARDOUS CONDITION THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING INTERSTATE 81 IN VIRGINIA ON 8/13/2011. WE WERE DRIVING IN THE STAUNTON, VA AREA AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHERE THE REAR WHEELS ON MY 2010 F-150 IMMEDIATELY LOCKED UP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, AND WITH THE HELP OF FORD TECHS, THEY FEEL THE ISSUE WAS THE TRANSMISSION IMMEDIATELY DROPPED FROM 6TH GEAR DOWN TO 1ST GEAR. FORTUNATELY THE ROAD WAS DRY AND I GAINED CONTROL AND MOVED THE VEHICLE SAFELY OFF THE ROAD, HOWEVER MY CONCERN IS IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THEY ARE 100% SURE THAT THIS WAS THE CAUSE, AND EVEN IF IT IS, HOW DO I KNOW IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN IN THE FUTURE...WITH A WORSE OUTCOME. I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AND WE WERE LUCKY WE DIDN'T GET INTO A MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT. NOW I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN, AND FORD SEEMS TO FEEL THERE ISN'T AN ISSUE, BUT I SEE NUMEROUS POSTS ON THE INTERNET OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS. SHOULD FORD BE DOING MORE TO ENSURE THEIR CUSTOMERS ARE SAFE IN THEIR VEHICLES, OR SHOULD I JUST FIND ANOTHER TRUCK THAT IS SAFER? *KB
