2010 Ford F-150 complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. SHE DISCONNECTED THE FUSE IN ORDER TO STOP THEM FROM WORKING; HOWEVER, THEY REMAINED ON, AS A RESULT SHE DECIDED TO REMOVE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT SHE WAS UNABLE TO SPEAK WITH A REPRESENTATIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 19,655.

ENGINE LOSS OF POWER (SHUTS OFF) FOR NO REASON, VEHICLE ENGINE DIES SPORADICALLY (WITH A TOTAL OF 9 INCIDENTS TO DATE) WHEN AT A STOP LIGHT OR MAKING A COMPLETE STOP, THIS PLACES MYSELF, MY WIFE AND MY THREE YOUNG CHILDREN IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON A ROAD DUE TO THIS NO-POWER SITUATION, THIS MAY CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF FOR NO REASON. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY SAY THEY ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CONCERN AND RETURN THE VEHICLE TO US WITH INCONCLUSIVE RESULTS. WE FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE NHTSA AND DOT AS IT MAY PLACES OUR FAMILY IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND MAY ALSO BE AFFECTING OTHER VEHICLES ASIDE FROM OURS. PLEASE CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER AND ASSIST US IN ADDRESSING THIS CONCERN. THANK YOU. *TR

THE TIRE PRESSURE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (TPMS) HAS A DEFECT IN IT THAT CAUSES THE SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION AND GIVE BOGUS WARNINGS. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO LOCAL DEALER 3 TIMES TO FIX. THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE WARNING LIGHT GOES OFF FREQUENTLY ENOUGH WHERE IT CAN CAUSE A CONSUMER TO IGNORE AN ACTUAL TIRE PRESSURE FAILURE. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A BIG ENOUGH ISSUE THAT THERE ARE MANY MESSAGE BOARDS DISCUSSING THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE OCCURS MOST FREQUENTLY AFTER DRIVING 20-25 MILES ON A DAY WHERE THERE HAS BEEN A TEMPERATURE CHANGE OF ABOUT 20 DEGREES OR WHEN IT IS RAINING. THE WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON AT LEAST 30 TIMES IN THE 6 MONTHS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. THE TIRE PRESSURES HAVE BEEN CHECKED NUMEROUS TIMES BY THE DEALER. THE COMPUTER HAS BEEN RESET BY THE DEALER. THEY CANNOT FIND OR DO NOT WANT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS ONLY ILLUMINATED WHEN IT WAS DARK OUTSIDE. HE WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO ADVISED HIM THEY WERE UNABLE TO CHANGE ANYTHING DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,000.

MY VEHICLE RIDES NEARLY IDENTICAL TO ODI CASE 10392353. WHILE DRIVING OUT OF TOWN I HAD TO SLOW FOR A ROUGH SPOT ON THE ROAD WHERE THE PAVEMENT HAD SLOUGHED AWAY ON A GENTLE ANGLE. AFTER GOING THROUGH THE AREA I TRIED SPEEDING UP FROM ABOUT 50KPH (35MPH). THE TRUCK'S STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SWING BACK AND FORTH AND THE TRUCK WAS VIBRATING/SHAKING BADLY. MY 2010 FORD XTR 4X4 HAS APPROX. 36000 KMS (22000 MILES) ON IT. AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 85-95KPH (55-60MPH) THE TRUCK ALSO BEGINS TO SHAKE/VIBRATE. IN ADDITION, WHENEVER IT HITS ANY ROUGH PAVEMENT OR POTHOLES-EVEN THE SLIGHTEST- IT WOBBLES LIKE JELLY. IT HAS 18" GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TWICE TO THE DEALER WITHIN THE PAST 3 WEEKS. AFTER THE FIRST VISIT, I HAD THE TIRES RE-BALANCED JUST TO ELIMINATE TIRE BALANCE ISSUES. BOTH TIMES THEY ROAD TESTED IT AND SAID IT JUST STIFF SUSPENSION. THEY ASKED ME TO ROAD TEST A SIMILAR VEHICLE WITH LIKE MILEAGE AND TIRES. IT DID THE SAME BUT NOT AS VIOLENTLY. THEY SAID THE PROBLEM AROUND THE 85-95KPH IS RELATED TO TORQUE-CONVERTER WANTING TO LOCK UP. MY JOB REQUIRES A LOT OF DRIVING BUT THE 'BOWL-OF-JELLY' RIDE, AS I WOULD DESCRIBE IT, MAKES FOR NEVOUS DRIVING AS THE THOUGHT OF HITTING A SOFT, ROUGH, OR ANY KIND OF ROAD BLEMISH WHILE MEETING TRAFFIC AND MAYBE BEING THROWN INTO THE PATH OR CROSSING CENTER LINE IS ALWAYS THERE. *TT

STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WHILE IN RIGHT HAND TURN AT 10 MPH. THE VEHICLE SOUNDED BELLS BUT THE ENGINE REMAINED RUNNING. THE BREAKS BARELY STOPPED THE VEHICLE. ATTEMPTS TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AFTER STOPPING WERE UNSUCCESSFUL EVEN WITH FORCE. TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, LET IT SET FOR A COUPLE MINUTES THEN STARTED THE ENGINE WHICH RESULTED IN NORMAL STEERING. THE VEHICLE IS NOW AT TUTTLE CLICK FORD IN IRVINE, CA. *TR

WE NOTICED A VERY BUMPY RIDE, AS A PERSON WOULD EXPECT WHEN DRIVING DOWN A ROUGH GRAVEL ROAD WITH POT HOLES. WHEN THE FORD MECHANIC CHECKED IT OUT, WE WERE TOLD BOTH REAR SHOCKS WERE NO GOOD "GONE". WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY LOADS TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. IS THIS A DEFECT OR AN ISOLATED INCIDENT? *TR

WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE DOOR LATCHES ON OUR 2010 FORD F150. WE CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE NOT FOUND ANYTHING WRONG, TO IGNORE THE NOTICE. WHY BOTHER TO DEAL WITH RECALLS, WHEN THE DEALER TELLS THE CONSUMER TO IGNORE. WE ASKED FOR A LETTER FROM THE DEALER IN THE EVENT OF A PROBLEM. 2010 FORD F150.

WHILE DRIVING BY 2010 F150 AT APPROX 75 MPH IN CRUISE MODE. THE ABS BRAKE AND RED BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR SHARPLY DECELERATED. ( BRAKE ENGAGED). LASTED APPROX. 1-2 SECONDS THEN THE BRAKING STOPPED. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES WITHIN A 2 HOUR PERIOD. THEN WHILE STOPPING TO PAY A TOLL ( CAME TO COMPLETE STOP ABS BRAKES(, THE TRUCK STALLED OUT WHILE IN DRIVE. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS IN AND OUT OF GEAR "SLAMMING" THE VEHICLE AND CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE OUT OF CONTROL IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS. *TR

DRIVING MY 2010 FORD F-150 DOWN THE HIGHWAY. TRUCK STALLED AND QUIT FOR NO REASON. IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP BUT SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME. THE TRUCK SEEMED LIKE IT ALWAYS IDLED ROUGH FROM DAY # 1.

I PURCHASED A 2010 FORD F-150 IN AUGUST 2010. I RECENTLY BECAME AWARE OF A LIGHTING ISSUE ON THE DASHBOARD CONTROL PANEL CLUSTER. WHILE DRIVING INTO WORK ONE MORNING AT APPROXIMATELY 6:30AM, I NOTICED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTING HAD GONE OFF . IT WAS JUST SLIGHTLY AFTER SUNRISE AND WAS STILL QUITE DARK OUTSIDE. AFTER THE PROBLEM RECURRING SEVERAL MORE TIMES, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT, AND AFTER A BRIEF 20 MINUTES OR SO WAS TOLD THE CLUSTER WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED AND IT WASN'T UNTIL I RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET IF ANY OTHER CONSUMERS OF THIS MODEL TRUCK WERE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS, THAT I HAD AN EXPLANATION FOR THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY FORD ENGINEERED A LIGHT SENSOR THAT SITS ON THE DASHBOARD AND TURNS OFF THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT LIGHTING WHEN THE SENSOR DETECTS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF EXTERNAL LIGHT. THERE IS NO WAY TO PROPERLY OVERRIDE THE SENSOR TO MY KNOWLEDGE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT SOMETIMES WILL SHUT OFF LIGHTING WHEN THERE ARE STILL VERY LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS OUTSIDE. IN SEVERAL INSTANCES, I WAS DRIVING IN LOW LIGHT AND THE SENSOR HAD DEACTIVATED MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTING AND I COULDN'T READ MY INSTRUMENTS UNLESS I TOOK MY EYE OFF THE ROAD AND DUCKED MY HEAD DOWN ALMOST AGAINST THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. APPARENTLY, OTHER CONSUMERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND SOME HAVE REPORTED THAT THEY WERE TOLD BY FORD THAT THE SYSTEM IS WORKING AS DESIGNED AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO CHANGE IT. ONE

MY 2010 FORD F-150 TRANSMISSION "SLAMS" BETWEEN GEARS. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT ALLEGES THAT IT CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL THE SOFTWARE ISSUE IS REPAIRED. THE TRANSMISSION SLAMS BETWEEN GEARS, AT TIMES THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SEEMS TO ENGAGE WHEN GOING AROUND A CORNER. THIS ISSUE CONCERNS ME AS IF THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOCKS UP I COULD EITHER LOSE STEERING CONTROL OR STOP DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. FORD IS NOT CONCERNED BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW IN NOVEMBER 2010 WITH 5 MILES ON IT. IN MARCH MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING REPEATEDLY WHEN NO NEED FOR IT TO SHIFT WAS EVEN PRESENT. IT WOULD DROP FROM 6TH TO 4TH ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO TOUCH OF THE GAS PEDAL. ALSO WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STAND STILL IF YOU SLOWLY ACCELERATE THEN GET ON THE GAS FULLY THEIR IS A HUGE DELAY IN ENGINE RESPONSE AS I WAS TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND FLOORED THE TRUCK AND ALMOST WAS HIT BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS UNRESPONSIVE TO MY NEED FOR FULL THROTTLE. I REPEAT THE DELAY ONLY OCCURS FROM A VERY SLOW ACCELERATE THEN TO A SUDDEN FULL THROTTLE FROM A STOP. THE TRUCK IS RESPONSIVE FROM DEAD STOP TO FULL THROTTLE. ANOTHER IS EXTREMELY HARD SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS BAD DROP INTO 1ST FROM 2ND. ALSO HAVE SLIGHT SHAKING ON TAKE OFF. TOOK VEHICLE IN THEY REPLACED SOME PART ON MY VEHICLE AND I HAVE IT BACK WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS, THEY EVEN WROTE ON MY RECEIPT THAT THEY STILL FELT PROBLEMS AFTER THE FIX! NOW THEY ARE CLAIMING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK WHEN I TAKE IT BACK IN. TRUCK HAS ONLY 5,000 MILES ON IT TRULY DISAPPOINTED IN THE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE.

ON OR ABOUT JULY 15TH 2010 I PURCHASED MY FORD F150 BRAND NEW WITH 3 MILES ON IT. NO PROBLEMS OCCURRED UNTIL DECEMBER 31ST 2010. HEADING NORTH ON A 3 LANE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK JUST "SHUT OFF"..DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC. I IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPTED TO RESTART AND WOULD NOT RESTART UNTIL 3RD ATTEMPT. I LOOKED AT THE GAS GAGE, IT READ 3/4 FULL. THIS DID NOT REOCCUR UNTIL JANUARY 3RD, 2011. THE SAME AS BEFORE STALLED WITH FULL TANK OF GAS.THIRD TIME OCCURRED JANUARY 19TH, 2011 WITH MY WIFE DRIVING AND 2 MINOR CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS AGAIN HAPPENED STALLED ON HIGHWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, WITH FULL TANK OF GAS. STATE TROOPER WITH HIGHWAY PATROL HAD TO STOP TRAFFIC AND PUSH THE TRUCK TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTED THE FULL TANK OF GAS. TOWED TO FORD WHO REFUSED TO FIX THIS VEHICLE CLAIMING THAT THIS DEFECT NEEDED TO REOCCUR WITH A FLIGHT RECORDER ATTACHED TO IT, BUT FORD DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO DRIVE IT STATING"IT WAS A LIABILITY TO THEIR BUISNESS AND COULD CAUSE INJURY TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STAFF"...THEY THEN REFUSED TO KEEP IT ANY LONGER AND DELIVERED IT TO OUR HOME WITH THE SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT STILL UNTOUCHED! *TR

THE DAY AFTER PURCHASING A NEW 2010 F-150 FORD TRUCK THIS PAST NOVEMBER I EXPERIENCED A TERRIBLE VIBRATION AT AROUND 70 MPH. I STOPPED AT THE NEAREST FORD DEALER WHICH WAS FRANKFORT KY AND THEY CHECKED THE BALANCE THEN SAID THERE WAS AN DRIVE SHAFT ALIGNMENT REPAIR NEEDED BUT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL HOURS. BECAUSE I WAS TRAVELING AND WOULD NOT BE AT MY HOME LOCATION FOR A WEEK I CALLED THE DEALER IN NORTH CAROLINA WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED, AFTER A BIT OF CHECKING AROUND THEY TOLD ME VIA PHONE THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS NOT THE ISSUE. A WEEK LATER I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER AND THEY BALANCED THE TIRES AND GIVE IT BACK TO ME. I HAD A 400 MILE TRIP TO MAKE AND WITHIN THE FIRST 50 MILES THE SHAKE WAS BACK IN THE TRUCK. I CALLED THE DEALER THEN RETURNED THE TRUCK BACK TO THEM 3 DAYS LATER. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOOK A RIDE WITH ME AND SAID IT FELT LIKE FLAT SPOTS ON THE TIRES. THE KEPT THE TRUCK OVERNIGHT AND DID ANOTHER BALANCE JOB WHILE CHECKING THE DRIVE SHAFT, BRAKES, TRANSMISSION AND ROTORS. WHEN I GOT THE TRUCK BACK THIS TIME THE SHAKING STARTED AT 45 MPH AND CONTINUED TO AROUND 65 MPH. I WAS ON ANOTHER TRIP AND CALLED THE DEALER TO RELAY THE BAD NEWS. I RETURNED THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES WITH PIRELLI 20 INCH SCORPION TIRES LIKE THE ONES THAT CAME ON IT. I OFFERED TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE IN PRICE TO INSTALL ANOTHER BRAND OF TIRE BUT THE DEALER WOULD NOT HAVE IT. AFTER TAKING THE TRUCK ON A 2000 MILE TRIP THE SHAKING HAS RETURNED JUST AS BA

I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ONLY A COUPLE OF MILES WHEN I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. WENT TO MAKE A TURN IN THE LOT AND THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN. TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON. EVERYTHING SEEMS TO WORK WELL NOW, BUT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE, ESPECIALLY IS I HAD BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW DECEMBER 2010. ITS FIRST PROBLEM WAS THAT ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS IT STALLED AND DIED APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. I TOOK IT IN AND THE TECH REPROGRAMMED THE ENGINE. I DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM FOR A MONTH UNTIL TODAY. TODAYS PROBLEM SCARED THE CRAP PUT OF ME. I WAS CRUISING DOWN THE ROAD AT 70 MPH WHEN MY TRUCK SHIFTED DOWN FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1ST. I FISH TAILED AND ALMOST LOST IT.I WAS GOING DOWN A HILL, IT WASN'T A VERY STEEP DECLINE. MY TRUCK WHILE CRUISING AND GOING DOWN HILLS USUALLY SHIFTS DOWN ONE GEAR ACTING LIKE AN ENGINE BREAK TO KEEP MY SPEED FROM INCREASING. TODAY IT WENT RIGHT FROM 6 TO 1. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME OR THEY WOULD HAVE PLOWED ME. I GOT PULLED OVER AND STARTED MY ENGINE, EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I DROVE FOR A LITTLE WHILE LONGER AND PULLED OVER CALLED ROADSIDE ASSIST AND HAD IT TOWED TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I PURCHASED A FORD BECAUSE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SAFE AND DEPENDABLE. THE TRUCK HAS 9500 MILES ON IT. *TR

ON 02/25/10 MY P/U HAD 2214 MILES, I COMPLAINED OF CLUNKY SHIFTING GEAR HUNTING AND 2 SECOND HESITATION WHEN PUSH ACCELERATOR DOWN FOR PASSING. FORD ,DIAGNOSIS EVERY THING NORMAL. I AM LIVING WITH THIS NIGHTMARE. I HAVE BEEN PROFESSIONAL DRIVER SINCE 1976. 02/26/11 BACK INTO FORD WITH CLUNKY TRAN. AND 2 SECOND HESITATION WHEN PASSING AT 50 MPH. FOUND NO PROBLEM. 02/02/11 BACK INTO FORD SAME SYMPTOMS TOLD THEM I WANT TO RIDE WITH TECH. DID NOT ALLOW RIDE WITH TECH SERVICE WRITER AND SERVICE MGR. SAID THEY EXPERIENCED MY PROBLEM. TOLD ME COME BACK WHEN TRANS. TECH AVAILABLE. THEN WROTE MY INVOICE TO READ UNABLE TO DUPLICATE? FORD I BELIEVE HAS ISSUED TALKING POINTS TO ALL LOCATIONS TO COVER UP THE FACT THAT THERE IS PROBLEM! THIS IS SERIOUS BECAUSE MANY TIMES IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION YOU ACCELERATE INSTEAD OF BRAKE. SO WHEN YOU GO TO ACCELERATE AND HAVE A 2 SECOND DELAY IN PEDAL PUSH DOWN TO WHEN THE COMPUTER READS WHAT TO DO AND GIVES YOU PASSING GEAR YOU COULD BE RUN OVER! PLEASE HELP MY VEHICLE LISTED FOR 46,000 PLUS PAID 40,000 FOR IT. CONSUMERS IN AMERICA SHOULD NOT GET FLEECED LIKE THIS WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES. THANK YOU, HOW IRONIC I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A CHEVY GUY UNTIL THIS NIGHTMARE! *TR

THIS ISSUE IS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE , EXCESSIVE NOISE OR CLATTER IN THE RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION AS SOMETHING IS LOOSE OR BROKEN. FORD CONTINUES TO CLAIM IT IS THE SHOCKS MAKING NOISE BUT THE SERVICE TECH'S BELIEVE IT IS NOT NORMAL. I HAVE SPENT 6 + MONTHS TRYING TO RESOLVE !! *TR

(WWW.ARFC.ORG) I UNDERSTAND THIS INFORMATION IS FROM THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (WWW.NHTSA.GOV) THIS WAY THEY CAN NOT SAY THEY NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. ON 02-16-11 TRUCK WAS RETURNED TO DEALER. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. THE TRUCK STALLS BETWEEN 10 AND 40 MPH YOU LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER THE TRUCK.ON ONE OCCASION I WAS TURNING INTO MY PROPERTY MAKING A LEFT TURN. I WAS GOING SLOW SO I WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE I HIT A SNOW BANK. ONCE YOU LOSE POWER STEERING THERE IS NO WAY TO STEER THE TRUCK AND THE B

TRUCK HAS A WARNING LIGHT ON THAT LOOKS LIKE A WRENCH. TRUCK HAS BEEN STALLING WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING THE TRUCK TO LOSE ALL POWER AND STOP DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF ROAD. FORD TECH'S SAY THEY CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND FORD REFUSES TO HELP.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON AN INCLINE THE DIGITAL FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED THE INCORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. HE ALSO STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MOVED TO LEVEL GROUND THE FUEL GAUGE DID NOT CORRECT ITSELF. HE STATED THAT THE FAILURE HAD BEEN ONGOING FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO REPROGRAMMED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE REPAIR TEMPORARILY CORRECTED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE FAILURE.

3RD BRAKE LIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE CAB WAS LEAKING. WATER AGAINST THE ELECTRONICS FOR THE LIGHT COULD CAUSE THE LIGHT NOT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY RESULTING IN A CRASH. FORD REPLACED THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT SINCE THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

WE HAVE EXPERIENCED SIX DIFFERENT INSTANCES SINCE DECEMBER WHERE THE ENGINE WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION. RANGE OF SPEED AT TIME OF INCIDENT HAS BEEN BETWEEN 5 - 40 MPH. ON JANUARY 23, 2011, WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH DOWN A WINDY HILL, THE VEHICLE FLASHED THE WRENCH LIGHT THEN COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. AS A RESULT, I HAD A NEAR MISS OF A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE ONCOMING LANE AS THE TRUCK I WAS DRIVING VEERED INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO IMMEDIATELY REGAIN CONTROL. TYPICALLY THE TRUCK CAN BE PUT INTO PARK THEN TURNED BACK ON BUT NOT IN THIS CASE. THE LATEST STALL OF THE ENGINE OCCURRED ON FEBRUARY 9, 2011 WHILE MAKING A TURN IN A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER ON JANUARY 23, 2011 AND THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THE COMPUTER READING DID NOT SHOW FAULTY EQUIPMENT. IN ADDITION, I AM EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. EVEN AFTER COMPLETELY FILLING UP THE VEHICLE, THE GAUGE DOES NOT READ AS FULL. THERE ARE FUNCTIONAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. AS A MOTHER WITH TWO CHILDREN WHO IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE, I AM TERRIFIED OF THE POTENTIAL FOR A FATAL ACCIDENT TO OCCUR. THERE ARE NUMEROUS WEB PAGE/BLOGS WHERE DRIVERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE DESCRIBED THESE SAME ISSUES. FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING.

MY TRUCK IS IN THE SHOP FOR THE THIRD TIME IN A MONTH AND A HALF. IT HAS AN ISSUE WITH STALLING. 5 TIMES SO FAR PLUS THE GAS GAUGE IS NOT READING THE PROPER AMOUNT (5-7 GALS LOW). STALLED TWICE IN A WEEK AND THE DEALER CHANGED THE SENDING UNIT AND REPROGRAMMED COMPUTER. WAS FINE FOR TWO WEEKS AND IT STALLED TWO MORE TIMES WITH THE GAS GAUGE READING LOW AGAIN. SAID THEY FOUND GAS IN THE EVAP CANISTER AND THAT WAS CAUSING ALL OF THE PROBLEMS. CHANGED CAN AND WENT ON MY WAY. THAT WAS 1-28-11 AND ON 1-31-11 VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN WITH THE GAS GAUGE STILL NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT IS BACK AT THE SHOP (AS OF 2-1-11) AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR FIND A PROBLEM YET. DEALER CLAIMS THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THE PROBLEM, BUT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS HERE FOR FORD NOT TO HAVE NOTICED. *LN

WHILE DRIVING MY F150 ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATLY 70 MPH, IN TEMP AT 33 DEGREES I HEARD A BANG AND OBSERVED MY REAR WINDOW START TO SPIDERWEB ON THE RIGHT SIDE THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WAS ON TO CLEAR THE BLOWING SNOW OFF THE WINDOW FROM THE BED. *LN

WHILE DRIVING THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, FOLLOWED BY THE GAS PEDAL NOT WORKING AND THEN THE ENGINE STALL OUT. THIS ALL HAPPENS WHILE THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT 30 MPH, 60MPH AND WHILE ACCELERATING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO FORD FOUR TIMES NOW AND THEY "CANT DUPLICATE IT" SO IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED YET. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TOWARD A BUSY INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER! INCLUDING BRAKES AND STEERING! I ROLLED OUT INTO THE MAJOR HIGHWAY CAUSING VEHICLES TO HAVE TO SWERVE TO MISS ME! THIS IS NOT SAFE!! THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK, NOR WOULD ANYTHING ELSE ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE THE POWER CAME BACK ON TO THE TRUCK AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. I HAVE 2 BABIES THAT RIDE WITH ME AND WILL NOT TAKE A CHANCE OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN! THE TRUCK IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WILL NOT BE PICKED UP UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED AND RETAINED A LAWYER SHOULD THIS MAJOR PROBLEM BECOME AN ISSUE FOR ME. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A VEHICLE DEFECT THAT CAN BE CLOSELY COMPARED TO THE TOYOTA RECALL! SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED WITH THIS PROBLEM!!
