2011 Ford F-150 complaints

I WAS DRIVING AND WENT TO TURN ON MY REAR DEFROSTER AND A FEW SECONDS LATER. IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE SHOT MY TRUCK. I PULLED OVER AND DIDN'T SEE ANY DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF MY TRUCK BUT THEN REALIZED THAT MY REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED

THE CAR ALWAYS WHEN STARTING IT THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES OUT AND I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF MANUALLY FROM THE DASHBOARD, ALSO THE TRANSMISSION IS HITTING WHEN STARTING UP THE CAR ONLY HAS 120 THOUSAND MILES WHEN I START THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME IT HAS 140 THOUSAND MILES AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES PROBLEM

WILE DRIVING,THE VEHICAL WILL DOWN SHIFT WITH A LOUD BANG. ON A HIGHWAY THE TRANS WILL GO BETWINE 5&6 GEAR. NOW THE IT WENT FROM 6 TO 1 GEAR , SENDING THE VEHICAL ,ALL OVER THE ROAD. THE PEOPLE AT FORD DEALERS THINK IT'S FUNNEY. I DO NOT THINK SO THEY KNOW I NEED A NEW TRANS, I DID NOT HIT KNOW ONE. THR VEHICAL IS HOME.

I HAVE A 2011 FORD F-150. THE TIMING CHAIN HAS STRETCHED ABNORMALLY, CAUSING THE MILEAGE AND POWER TO BE REDUCED, AND CAUSING THE ENGINE TO MAKE A TERRIBLE NOISE (AKIN TO A DIESEL STARTING ON A COLD DAY) WHEN IT IS STARTED, LASTING FOR 5-10 SECONDS. THE 2011 F-150 3.5L ECOBOOST TIMING CHAIN STRETCHING PROBLEM IS WELL-KNOWN ACROSS FORD USER FORUMS. THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY FORUM POSTS AND COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE, YET FORD HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS IS A SYSTEMIC DESIGN ISSUE AND FORD NEEDS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP AND PROVIDE A FIX FOR OWNERS THAT ARE AFFECTED BY IT.

WHEN THE 2 REAR DOORS ARE LOCKED, IT IS HAPHAZARD WHEN THEY WILL UNLOCK OR OPEN, EITHER MANUALLY OR FROM THE INSIDE. WHEN I HAVE CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS IN THE REAR SEATS AND I AM UNABLE TO OPEN EITHER DOOR IT CAN BE A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEATH IN CASES OF EMERGENCIES. NOT EVERYONE IS ABLE TO CRAWL FROM THE FRONT SEAT TO THE REAR SEATS TO GET BABIES OUT OF THEIR CAR SEATS. THE DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH THE FRONT DOOR PANEL CONTROLS OR THE REMOTE KEY. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, THE DOORS STILL WILL NOT UNLOCK . THE DATE OF 5/01/2019 IS AN APPROXIMATE DATE, AS THIS HAS BEEN AN OFF & ON AGAIN PROBLEM. NOW THAT I HAVE BABIES TO TRANSPORT, IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR WITH THE OUTPUT SHAFT SPEEDS SENSOR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT VEERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROADWAY, TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVEN ADDITIONAL TIMES. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE DIAGNOSED. AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE OSS CONNECTOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 72,000.

I SEEN THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION MINE HAS BEEN DROPPING GEARS WHILE DRIVING THEN AFTER YOU WILL HERE IT SLEEP REALLY BAD FROM SHIFTING

2011 FORD F150 STARTER PROBLEMS. I'VE REPLACED STARTER ON THIS VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES AND STILL HAVE ISSUE'S. I TURN IGNITION AND ALL THAT HAPPENS IS A SCREECHING NOISE. AFTER A COUPLE TRIES IT STARTS. SECOND ISSUE IS SPEED CONTROL ISSUES. I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. MY TRUCK WOULD NOT SHIFT AND HAD TO MANUALLY SHIFT GEARS.

MY TRUCK WAS REPROGRAMMED FOR THE SUDDEN TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFT ISSUE. IT IS STILL OCCURING. AFTER NUMEROUS CALLS TO FORD I WAS TOLD THE DMV WOULD ISSUE RECALL NOTICE. HOW CAN THEY IF FORD WON'T SEND THE CORRECT INFORMATION? THE DOWNSHIFT DELETE ALSO AFFECTS THE DOWNSHIFT WHEN IN TOW HAUL MODE, SO THAT IT WILL NOT DOWNSHIFT TO ASSIST IN BRAKING. I NEED MY TRUCK'S TRANSMISSION TO BE FIXED SO THAT IT WILL STOP DOWNSHIFTING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE . THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC.

THE STEERING IS ACTING STIFF WHILE DRIVING

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 10:30PM GOING 55MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE HEARD A VERY LOUD BANG THAT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO RUN OFF THE ROAD, THANKFULLY I DIDN'T. I PULLED OVER TO INVESTIGATE AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG UNTIL I LOOKED AT THE BACK GLASS. THE BACK GLASS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. OUT OF NO WHERE. MIND YOU, THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS PRIOR. I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD THIS TRUCK FOR THIRTY DAYS YET AND THIS HAPPENED. I WAS ESPECIALLY WORRIED BECAUSE MY 4YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BACK SEAT, ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. SHE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED DUE TO THIS.

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE, IT DOES NOT SHIFT INTO 2ND OR 3RD. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.

PROBLEM STARTED BEFORE 100,000 MILES. 2011 FORD F-150 CURRENTLY HAS 230,000 MILES AND THE ISSUE IS GETTING MORE SEVERE. THE STEERING IS "STICKY", THERE IS RESISTANCE WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. LETTING GO OF THE WHEEL THE VEHICLE REMAINS IN THE STUCK POSITION AND DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY RETURN TO A NEUTRAL STEER POSITION. WITH MINOR RESISTANCE YOU NEED TO GIVE THE WHEEL A LITTLE JERK OR TWO TO GET THE VEHICLE'S WHEELS TO UNLOCK AND RESPOND. LATELY THERE ARE INCREASED INCIDENCES WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL SEVERELY STICKS AND NEEDS A STRONG TUG TO UNLOCK. THE STRONG TUG CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO OVERCOMPENSATE WHEN THE STEERING BREAKS FREE REQUIRING A SECOND JERK OF THE WHEEL TO KEEP CONTROL. EARLY IN THE HISTORY OF THIS PROBLEM THE STICKING WAS WORSE WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT, BUT NOW THE ISSUE IS MOST SEVERE WHEN TURNING RIGHT. I'M NOT SURE, BUT THE SITUATION MAY BE EXACERBATED IF BREAKING WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. AT WORST IT'S DANGEROUS, AT THE LEAST IT MAKES FOR TENSE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM COMES AND GOES AND SEEMS RANDOM. A FEW DAYS AGO, FOR THE FIRST TIME A "SERVICE POWER STEERING" WARNING DISPLAYED. AT A FORD DEALER THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A "WEAK" BATTERY. THE CCA (COLD CRANKING AMPS) 850 BATTERY WAS ONLY OUTPUTTING A CCA OF 575, VOLTS OF 12.41. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY, CLEARED ALL DIAGNOSTIC FAULT CODES, AND PRONOUNCED THE PROBLEM FIXED. SOON AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP AND STICKING RESUMED, NOTHING SEVER, BUT CLEARLY STILL STICKING.

HAVE EVEN WRITTEN LETTERS TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY ABOUT THIS. TOOK TRUCK INTO DEALER PER THEIR RECOMMEND AND NOT FIXED. FEEL I WILL NEED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK INTO THE GROUND AS CAN'T THINK ANYBODY WOULD WANT TO BUY IT LIKE THIS. WOULD ALSO THINK TWICE ABOUT BUYING ANOTHER FORD TRUCK.

MY BACK SIGNAL LIGHT DOESN'T WORK AND HAS A RAPID FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD. I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY BCM CONTROL AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHICH IS EXPENSIVE IS THERE ANY TYPE OF RECALL ON THE BCM CONTROL.

WHILE DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER GOES TO ZERO. THE ODOMETER DISPLAYS JUST DASHES. THE ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY. I PULL OVER AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, REMOVE THE KEY AND THEN RESTART THE TRUCK. THEN IT DRIVES NORMALLY UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS.

THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVESHAFT. IT'S COATING WEARS OFF WHICH CAUSES IT TO GET INTO A BIND WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP OR FROM A START. FEELS LIKE IT IS HUNG UP IN BETWEEN GEARS. FORD RECALLED F150 RAPTOR AND FIXED IT BUT THE REGULAR F150 THEY DIDN'T RECALL AND IT HAS THE SAME DRIVESHAFT. THERE ARE NUMEROUS VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE CALL THE SLIP YOKE CLUNK IF YOU NEED TO SEE WHAT IT IS DOING.

SOUNDS LIKE IT DOWNSHIFTS IT STALLS WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD GOING LESS THAN 25 MPH.

THE VEHICLE IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONSAND IS UNEXPECTEDLY DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. YOU HAVE A RECALL ON OTHER FORD F150'S AND THIS SHOULD BE ONE OF THEM FOR THE MONEY WE PAID FOR THE TRUCK

INADEQUATE CONTACTS ON FUSE RELAY FOR FUEL PUMP, CAUSING OVERHEATING WITHOUT BURNING OUT THE FUES(#27 IN THE FUSE BOX). THIS CAUSED THE RELAY AND FUSE TO START MELTING AND RESULTED IN IMMEDIATE SHUT DOWN OF THE FUEL PUMP, AND COMPLETE POWER LOSS. I WAS LUCKY IT HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY. NO WARNING AT ALL. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF IT HAD HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY.

THE 10-SPEED 10R80 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THAT IS LOCATED IN MANY F150'S IS DEFECTIVE AS IT CAN SHIFT HARSHLY AND ERRATICALLY AT VERY HIGH SPEEDS, CAUSING VEHICLE CONTROL LOSS AND CAUSING ACCIDENTS. THE VEHICLE WILL OFTEN JERK, LUNGE, AND CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AS SOMETIMES IT WILL STOP ENGAGING. FORD DEALERS ARE HESITANT TO REPAIR THE PART AND NEGLIGENT WHEN IT COMES TO THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS. OFTEN NOT BLAMING IT TO THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION BUT OTHER 'NON RELATED FAULTS' THAT HAVE OCCURRED IN THE TRANSMISSION, HENCE NOT PROVIDING FREE REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INITIALLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN) AT RICHMOND FORD WEST (10751 W BROAD ST, GLEN ALLEN, VA 23060). THE CONTACT STATED THAT SOON AFTER THE REPAIR, THE UNINTENDED VEHICLE DOWNSHIFT CONTINUED TO OCCUR WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON REACHING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD ABRUPTLY JERK BEFORE RESUMING NORMAL DRIVING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE HE WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED HIM BACK TO A DEALER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. A CASE WAS ALSO FILED. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

WHILE BACKING UP AND UPON TURNING THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT FORD HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS SINCE 2011 FOR THE ELECTRIC STEERING RACK AND PINION (IT WAS NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR THE 2011 MODEL) GOING BAD AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND THERE HAVE BEEN TSB'S ABOUT SAID PROBLEM AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN DONE REGARDING THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED KNOWING THERE IS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND HAVING TO PAY OVER $2K TO GET THIS FIXED WHEN FORD KNOWS ABOUT SAID PROBLEM AND WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP THE CONSUMER FOR THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEONE COULD GET SERIOUSLY HURT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON START OF HIS VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD HARDEN AS THE FAILURE OCCURRED. ALSO, THE CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING MESSAGE WAS INTERMITTENTLY DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WOULD EMIT FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE ELECTRONIC VACUUM PUMP. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH TADD JENKINS FORD (1090 FORD WAY, BLACKFOOT, ID 83221) AND THE MANUFACTURER WHO BOTH INFORMED HIM THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE FOR THE ELECTRONIC VACUUM PUMP. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

VEHICLE WILL LOCK THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING IF ROTATED TO MAKE A HARD LEFT TURN. ONCE THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED, IT TAKES A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT FORCE TO UNLOCK THE WHEEL. THIS MANOUVER WILL ONLY HAPPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, POSING A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE

DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. THIS STARTED WITH THE DOOR NOT UNLOCKING SOMETIMES WITH THE KEY FOB. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THE DOOR WOULD HAVE TO UNLOCKED MANUALLY. NOW THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL - NOT WITH KEY FOB NOR WITH LOCK KNOB. NEITHER THE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE WILL OPEN THE DOOR. NOTHING WILL WORK AND IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLACE DOOR LATCH MECHANISM WITH DOOR CLOSED.N BASED ON INTERNET SEARCHES, THIS IS NOT A RARE OCCURRENCE. DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE IF IN AN ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY IF AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I 95 AND IT WAS RAINING. MY WINDOWS STARTED TO FOG UP. I TURNED ON THE DEFROSTS. I HEARD A LOUD POP AND MY REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, IT APPEARS IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON 10-14 F150'S WHEN TURNING ON THE REAR DEFROST.

WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS (IE PARKING LOTS) THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS INTO FIRST GEAR WITH A VERY LARGE "BANG" NOISE. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY INTERMITTENT. FORD HAS ISSUED A RECALL (16S19) WHICH WAS PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE BY THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, BUT IT DID NOT RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I RETURNED TO MY LOCAL AND THEY KEEP CLEARING THE TRANSMISSION'S COMPUTER IN THE HOPES OF RELEARNING MY DRIVING HABITS. THIS WAS DONE TWICE SINCE THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED, WITH NO IMPROVEMENT.

WHEN U GO TO PUT TRUCK IN GEAR IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE AND DOESN'T HAVE POWER AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON.ALSO BRAKES GO TO FLOOR AT TIMES
