2010 Ford F-150 complaints

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

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 CONTACTED AND MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000. *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.
