2010 Ford F-150 complaints

The compass indicator is stuck on North. The radio display module works with its other features. This problem has been confirmed by a dealer (Ford), but the issue is not resolved.

I have not had an incident.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal was depressed, and the vehicle started jerking. Additionally, when the brake pedal was released, the vehicle hesitated to respond when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle then accelerated independently. The contact stated that the check engine, seat belt, and ABS warning lights illuminated after the failure and then turned off independently. The contact related the failure to an unknown recall. The vehicle was taken to a dealer but was not yet diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000. The contact stated that their truck is not on the recall list although other F-150s were repaired for the same two issues.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford F150. The contact stated while driving at 40 MPH, the vehicle started spinning without any warning. The contact was able to pull over on the side of the road and the vehicle was towed. The vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic, and the helicoil was repaired but the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and he stated that the motor needed a sealing head. The manufacturer was contacted, and they advised to file a complaint with NHTSA. The failure mileage was 105,109.

Foil finish peeling off of interior chrome door handle. Very very sharp edges. Cut finger

When you start it up it would run good then battery light and a wrench would show up on dash then the throttle would drop down to a maximum speed would be 20 miles an hour.Battery would be dead when you would try and start it.Took it to a mechanic he could not do a diagnostic check because computer had been erased.I have been stranded multiple times.Going down busy highway unable to go faster than twenty miles an hour.Had to be jumped twice in a few hours still only able to go twenty miles an hour,then battery died while going twenty miles and hour.Engine light along with battery light and wrench symb

The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made an abnormal noise. The contact pulled over, and upon inspection, he noticed that the fuel tank straps were corroded, causing the fuel tank to detach. Additionally, there was a hole in the fuel tank, and fuel was leaking onto the ground. The vehicle was towed to the residence and was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 139,461.

Issue: Abrupt engine shutoff while driving at high speed. Occurance: While driving on an interstate highway at approximately 70MPH in far left lane, the vehicle abruptly shutoff. With no power, the power steering also did not function, however, had enough speed to safely pull onto the grass median. It appears the problem is with a known issue to Ford, which is the fuse for the fuel pump (#27 in the engine compartment PDB) will melt and cause either intermittent or complete failure even while driving at high speeds. Given the conditions I was extremely lucky to have been able to pull off, and then back on to the roadway safely. Ford has a fix available Fuel Pump Jumper Harness Kit. Kit Terminal Part #: WT56872 (14293) as a result of this problem, yet it seems there is no active recall for this to be installed. WHY??? This could have resulted in multiple deaths and injuries for a single incident - I think that's unacceptable and hope NHTSA will concur and compel a recall to fix this issue.

Reverse Gear Band broke in transmission

The system that failed was in the steering/gear shaft. The shaft is failing due to corrosion/rust. The vehicle has erratic steering when turning left or right. The steering does not rebound making it difficult to steer the vehicle which can cause a serious crash. I have had the problem with the steering and almost running off into a ditch. Trying to regain steering is difficult as it seems it gets stuck in position (left or right) and heavy when manually trying to control or correct the steering. The engine intake manifold suffer from the same safety issues that causes the corrosion or rusting of the manifold bolts making it very difficult to maintenance /repair cracked manifolds in the vehicle. The culprit as Ford knows it is salty road conditions. I live in Michigan where salt is applied to the roads often to keep roadways open for travel in the winter months. Ford has found remedies for newer model F-150s that suffer the same issues but has not offered remedy for older models such as mine. These trucks should be afforded the same recall privileges as newer vehicles.

Gas leaking from above the tank

I purchased a 2010 f-150 new in July 2010. Yesterday I noticed a fuel leak from the gas tank.

When i turned on the rear defrost within seconds the glass shattered please note the incident happened on 11.15.2021 the computer keeps putting todays date

Driving at 5 mph in traffic. Truck suddenly pulls hard right and involved in a glancing blow to a vehicle next to me. Steering wheel then was able to wobble loosely in 3 dimensions with no effect on tire direction. Had turn wheel at least 20 degrees rotation before feeling any engagement: a clunking sound and extremely hard steering with minimal tire response. Truck had to be towed from the accident scene. MANY reports of same problem seen via internet search Several lawsuits noted with various model years. Ford dealer states the steering column parts are obsolete.

I recently bought this truck 12/31/21. On 1/14/22 I was stopped in a parking lot at a stop sign , I was at the sign no one was ahead of me , with my right foot on the brake waiting the Truck began accelerating to the point the rear tires broke traction and the truck rear end started moving to the side , with my foot still on the brake pushing harder ( the pedal felt like the ABS system was pushing against my foot ) I immediately turned the ignition to the off position . After a few seconds I started the truck it idled ok so I proceeded as normal . My drive home was around 25 miles with no more issues . I have only talked to a few people and googled what may have happed but all I’ve seen is unless it can be duplicated or some kind of code shows up this will be hard to diagnose , also I was told it may be worth my while to contact this organization NHTSA . Thank you .

Front Left Brake stuck while driving in 2011. Stopped at a stop light and it looked like it was on fire. Pulled to the left and would not get over 50 miles an hour all the way home. 40 mile distance. I took it to an ASE certified mechanic and was told the brake line had collapsed . Had motorcraft brake line and brake pads installed. Later 2012 the right side done the same thing, it was so bad the rotor had to be changed out. 2014 Left side it happened again, this time I bought NAPA Auto parts, break line, brake pads, caliper and rotor. 2015 it happened again on the right side again. I got parts from Rock Auto. Brake pads, rotor, break line and caliper.. 2020 Left side it happened again , same process as before same parts bought again installed . now 1/10/2022 here Iam having to do it again. There is absolutely a problem with the 2010 F-150s, IM not the only person that has had this problem. My question is this,does someone have to die in an accident of brake failure, or die from a fire caused by the brakes heating before this public safety issue is fixed. Ford do a recall and inspect and repair if needed the problem before a death or injury happens. 2 years in to ownership and less that 60,000 miles I started have trouble ,and the mechanic had all ready been advised about the brake line problem is very telling. I want to file a legal complaint against Ford should something happen in the future to me or anyone else out there with a 2010 to 2014 F-150.

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.

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.

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 CLEAR

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.
