2011 Ford F-150 complaints

FORD F-150 RECALL - 2011 F-150 TRANSMISSION RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN). BEEN BACK TO DEALER TWICE FOR SAME, TODAY THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED INTO A LOWER GEAR, DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 62 MPH. "WRENCH" SYMBOL APPEARED AND TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT EXCEPT FROM 3RD TO 5TH. DASH DISAPPEARED TOO.

BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT POPPING UP ON THE SCREEN WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE STEERING CONTROL LIGHT SHOWS UP. TRUCK WON'T STEER LEFT OR RIGHT. THANK GOD I WAS PARKED WHEN IT FAILED. BEING TOLD IT'S THE ELECTRONIC RACK N PINION BOX. I ONLY HAVE 60,000 MILE ON THE TRUCK. I'M 59 YEARS OLD AND I DRIVE TO FROM WORK. PLEASE HELP.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE RD RATHER I'M GOING 20 OR 70 MPH THE TRUCK WILL DOWN SHIFT AND UP SHIFT RAPIDLY AND THE SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHT ON DASH WILL FLICKER OFF AND ON THEN EVENTUALLY GOES INTO A NEUTRAL MODE AND WON'T EXCELLERATE THEN I'LL PULL OVER PUT TRUCK IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF THE TRY AND RESTART IT IT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING LOSES ALL POWER TO IGNITION AS IF IT WAS DEAD NO DASH LIGHTS WILL COME ON. I'LL THEN HAVE TO UNPLUG THE WIRES TO THE ECU PLUG THEM BACK IN THEN UNIT WILL START AND DRIVE BUT ACT UP AGAIN. THE MECHANIC SHOP ALREADY INSTALLED A NEW RANGE SENSOR IN THE VALVE BODY OF THE TRANSMISSION. AT RAPID REPAIR IN KATY TX. AND DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM MY TRUCK HAS ONLY 87,000 MILES IT'S EVEN HAD TRANSFLUID REPLACED AND LEVEL CHECKED IT'S SOMETHING ELECTRICAL.

ACCORDING TO THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE TO THIS POINT THE FIST RECALL THAT I BELIEVE APPLIES TO THIS VEHICLE IS TSB 13-6-8, AND THE 2ND IS TSB 13-8-1. BOTH OF THESE SYMPTOMS ARE PREVALENT TO MY VEHICLE BUT FORD FAILS TO ACT ON THIS TSB AND FAILS TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS THAT WILL REMEDY THESE ISSUES. ONCE AGAIN THIS VEHICLE IS NOW PART OF A FIELD SERVICE ACTION (15N05) FOR THE ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP, AND WILL RETURN THE VEHICLE ON 3/24/2017 TO SEE IF THEY WILL RESPOND IN THIS ACTION, AND ONCE AGAIN BRING THESE TSB'S TO THERE ATTENTION AS PREVIOUSLY DONE TO SEE IF THEY WILL REPAIR THE VEHICLE TO AN ACCEPTABLE OPERATING STANDARD. IF FORD FAILS TO RESPOND TO THE TSB'S AND TO THE FIELD SERVICE ACTIONS, WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS TO SEE THESE REPAIRS TAKE PLACE, AND MY VEHICLE IS IN A SAFE AND PROPER WORKING FUNCTION?

EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE ENGINE MISFIRE EVENTS IN PAST YEAR WITH 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE. DEC 2015- MISFIRE CODE P0300. SIX SPARK PLUGS REPLACED BY NAPA CERTIFIED SHOP AT MY COST. AUG 2016 - TOWING 7,000 LB. TRAVEL TRAILER - ENGINE STUTTER & POWER LOSS GOING UPHILL, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO LOCAL FORD DEALER. DIAGNOSIS - CRACKED SPARK PLUG ON CYLINDER 6. SPARK PLUG REPLACED AT MY COST. DEC 2016 - UNDER NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING CONDITIONS. ACCELERATED FROM 65 TO APPROX 70 MPH TO PASS SEMI - ENGINE STUTTER & POWER LOSS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON & TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE, ENGINE WENT INTO LIMP MODE. HAD TO PULL OVER & SLOW TO 50 MPH BEFORE POWER CAME BACK. TOOK TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP. DIAGNOSIS - FOULED SPARK PLUG & BAD IGNITION COIL ON CYLINDER 3. COIL REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, SPARK PLUG REPLACED AT MY COST. FEB 2017 - UNDER NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING CONDITIONS. AGAIN ACCELERATING FROM 65 TO APPROX 70 MPH TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE - ENGINE STUTTER & POWER LOSS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON & TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE, ENGINE WENT INTO LIMP MODE. HAD TO PULL OVER & SLOW TO 50 MPH BEFORE POWER CAME BACK. TOOK TO SAME LOCAL DEALERSHIP. DIAGNOSIS - CRACKED SPARK PLUG & BAD IGNITION COIL ON CYLINDER 6. COIL REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, SPARK PLUG REPLACED AT MY COST. MARCH 2017 - AGAIN, UNDER NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING CONDITIONS.

WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 40MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DROPPED INTO 1ST GEAR. THE WRENCH LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE SPEEDOMETER DID NOT WORK AND HAD DASHES DISPLAYED INSTEAD OF NUMBERS. AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF FOR AN HOUR, IT WAS WORKING FINE AFTER RESTARTING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RECORDED OUTPUT SENSOR ERROR.

IT WAS 15 DEGREES OUTSIDE. I USED MY ELECTRIC START. LET THE TRUCK WARM UP FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. WENT OUT TO TRUCK AND OPENED THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR. I HEARD A LOUD NOISE FROM THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. I INSPECTED THE CAR AND FOUND THAT THE BACK WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I DISCOVERED THAT LOTS OF OTHER OWNERS ARE REPORTING THIS FROM A MALFUNCTION IN THE REAR DEFROST. I WAS NOT DRIVING AND THERE WAS NO OTHER THING THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED MY WINDOW TO SHATTER. I LIVE IN THE SUBURBS OF MINNEAPOLIS AND MY TRUCK WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. I AM JUST THANKFUL THIS DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY THREE BOYS. I BELIEVE FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THE REAR WINDOW WITH SLIDER WITH POWER DEFROST AS THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE LEAD FRAME HARNESS WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN), BUT THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 94,000.

MY STEERING WHEEL WILL STICK WHEN TURNING LEFT. IT MAKES IT HARD TO KEEP IT IN ONE LANE.THE PROBLEM WILL COME AND GO. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DID NOT SEE ANY PROBLEM. BUT LIKE I SAID THE PROBLEM WILL COME AND GO. YOU HAVE TO FORCE THE STEERING WHEEL BACK TO THE ORIGINAL POSITION. I CAN MAKE A VIDEO IF THIS WILL HELP.

MASTER CYLINDER BOOSTER. BACKED OUT OF DRIVE AND WENT FORWARD. PUSHED BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. THIS HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET WITH NO WARNING. TOOK TRUCK TO FORD DEALER AND THEY REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER BYPASS AND BLEED SYSTEM. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE -150'S BUT WAS INFORMED MINE WASN'T COVERED.

TIMING CHAIN STRETCHED, ENGINE MALFUNCTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND FORCED THE CONTACT TO DRIVE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WITHIN APPROXIMATELY TEN MINUTES, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, THE STEERING FAILURE RECURRED AND NEARLY CAUSED A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING RACK CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

WHEN DRIVING AND TAKING A LEFT TURN, THE POWER STEERING STOPS, MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL. IT IS INTERMITTENT, BUT IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN. BACK IN OCTOBER OF 2016 I TOOK IT TO MY FORD DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED. I WAS TOLD THAT MY WARRANTY WAS UP A WEEK EARLIER, SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY. I COULDN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR IT AT THE TIME, SO I DECLINED. NOW IT IS MUCH WORSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE THAT WOULD CAUSE AN UNEXPECTED DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING THE POWER TRAIN, BUT THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,000.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED FORD F150 2011 RAPTOR. THE STEERING CONTINUES TO BE PROBLEMATIC. THE ISSUE IS THAT TURNING THE WHEEL "STICKS" AND BECOMES ALMOST NON FUNCTIONAL. THE PROBLEM IS SPORADIC BUT STEADY. I PAID OVER $600 AT A LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. CAN I OBTAIN MORE INFO IF I CAN GET THIS RESOLVED BY FORD UNDER A RECALL?

ELECTRONIC STEERING SYSTEM FAILURE WHEN TURNING LEFT. THE ISSUE BEGAN WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BUT WAS VERY INTERMITTANT. OVER TIME IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. FORD RECALLED OTHER VEHICLES FOR SAME ISSUE DUE TO SAFETY BUT NOT MINE. I SEE ON LINE MANY FORUMS DISUCSSING MY EXACT ISSUE ON THE SAME MODEL YEAR. I WENT TO FORD CORPORATE WITH NO TRACTION AS THEY SEEMED LIKE THEY DIDNT KNOW THE ISSUE. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALER & THEY AGREE THAT ITS FAILING & WANT TO CHARGE ME FULL PRICE FOR CORRECTION WHICH IS 2K TO REPLACE ELECTRONIC STEERING RACK. I SAID I COULDN'T AFFORD, THEY INSPECTED MY VEHICLE & PASSED IT KNOWING THAT THE STEERING WAS UNSAFE. I CANNOT AFFORD 2K, I PAID 45K FOR THE TRUCK. I HAVE PURCHASE MANY FORDS. I AM HOPING THAT THIS BECOMES A RECALL SOON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE TURNING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AT 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 11V128000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BODY CONTROL MODULE) AND 10V659000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BODY CONTROL MODULE).

WHILE DRIVING MY FORD TRUCK IT MAKES A GRUNTING OR BINDING SOUND WHEN TURNING. HAVE NOTICED SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON INTERNET. SOME STEERING PROBLEMS HAVE CREATED A POTENTIAL FOR DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. STEERING IS AN IMPORTANT FUNCTION. PLEASE INVESTIGATE SO ONE OF THESE OPTIONS DOES NOT OCCUR TO ME OR A FAMILY MEMBER.

FORD F150 2011. THE STEERING ON THE TRUCK LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING. OFTEN DESCRIBED ON OTHER FORUMS AS GOING INTO MANUAL MODE VS ASSISTED STEERING. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN WHILE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, GOING AROUND A CURVE WITH MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE HOWEVER NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED YET. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT YET DUE TO THE ISSUE, BUT I HAVE SINCE PLACED THE VEHICLE IN STORAGE AWAITING A RECALL.

IT IS LOOSING POWER WHEN ACCELERATION DURING WET OR COLD CONDITIONS. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN GETTING ON THE FREEWAY, OR PASSING, GOING UP HILLS AND ACCELERATION FROM A STOPPED POSITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP TO THE LEFT WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO UNLOCK THE WHEEL. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURE WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE DID NOT RECUR AND WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

NGINE WAS RACING WIDE OPEN WITH TACHOMETER PEGGED WAY BEYOND THE HIGHEST NUMBER LISTED. NO WARNING, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NOTHING. I WAS ABLE TO EXIT AND STOP IN A PARK AND RIDE LOT AND CALL MY WIFE. I WAS EXTREMELY SHAKEN AND AFRAID TO CONTINUE DRIVE. SHE AGREED TO PICK ME UP. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP BACK TO MY OFFICE AT 15 MPH BUT WAS SCARED TO DEATH. THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE AND ONLY AFTER A FIX THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. I BELIEVE DAMAGE MAY HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE REAR-END, TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE NOT TO MENTION MY HIP AND SHOULDER ARE SORE AND PAINFUL FROM THE SEAT BEAT LOCKING. IT HONESTLY FELT LIKE I HAD BEEN REARENDED! I WILL NOT RETURN TO THAT DEALER AS I FEEL THEY WILL COVER THEIR MISTAKE AND NOT BE HONEST ABOUT WHAT DAMAGE WAS DONE TO MY VEHICLE BASED ON THEIR MISTAKE. A COMPLAINT WILL BE FLED WITH FORD MOTOR AND THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION SAFETY ADMINISRATATION AS WELL AS THE CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCY. I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE THE TRUCK AND HONESTLY FEEL I CAN NEVER DRIVE IT AGAIN. I WON'T EVEN DRIVE IT TO A SHOP AT THIS POINT. THE RECALL FIX CAUSED THIS ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN AND HAS CAUSED DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. IF THE COMPUTER LOGS DATA I WELCOME AN INVESTIGATION TO SEE WHAT THE COMPUTER SAYS HAS HAPPENED.

I WAS DRIVEING MY FORD F-150 & WAS ACCELERATING & THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN 4TH GEAR & IT DROP STRAIGHT DOWN TO 1ST GEAR THROWING ME & MY PASSENGERS FORWARD. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AS QUICK AS I COULD TO SHUT THE MOTOR OFF , THE ENGINES RPMS WAS REALLY HIGH UNTIL I COULD SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN. MY TRUCK WAS JUST REPROGRAM FOR THIS IN SEPTEMBER 2016 .BECAUSE FORD RECALLED THEM FOR THIS VERY REASON.

I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE JUST LEAVING WORK. MADE A RIGHT ONTO HWY & ALMOST GOT SMASHED, NO POWER IN THE PEDDLE, WITH A SEMI COMING AT ME FULL SPEED I'M SITTING THERE TRYING TO GO, HE BLEW HIS HORN PASSING ME IN LEFT LANE... CRAZY!!!!!!! THIS REALLY SHOULD BE A RECALL, NOT JUST CUZ OF ME BUT FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE!!! NOT COOL!!! WITHOUT A DOUBT THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT! REDUCED POWER DURING HARD ACCELERATION NHTSA PRELIMINARY EVALUATION #PE13018 STATUS: CLOSED DATE OPENED: MAY 22, 2013 DATE CLOSED: APRIL 07, 2014 RECALL: NO RECALL ISSUED COMPONENT(S): ENGINE ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING SUMMARY: ON MAY 22, 2013, THE OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION (ODI) OPENED PE13-018 TO INVESTIGATE 95 COMPLAINTS ALLEGING INCIDENTS OF REDUCED ENGINE POWER DURING HARD ACCELERATIONS.

IT STARTS SHUDDERING, SHAKING AND RAPIDLY LOSING POWER WHILE ACCELERATING.

2011 FORD F-150 P/U , CONTINENTAL CROSSCONTACT LX 20 275/65 R18. TIRE TREAD IS STILL DEEP BUT THERE ARE AREAS ALL AROUND TIRE TREAD THAT ARE STARTING TO PEEL OFF. I KNOW OF RECALL BUT ON DIFFERENT SIZE TIRE, BUT SAME BRAND AND STYLE. SAFETY CONCERN!!

JAN. 27, 2017 WE WERE PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP LIGHT GOT TO AROUND 40 MPH AND THE VEHICLE DOWN SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR MAKING A LOT OF NOISE AND STARTED BUCKING. WE COULD HARDLY GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS IT WOULD HARDLY MOVE. WE HAD NOT HAD ANY ISSUES BEFORE THIS. IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. IN REGARD TO RECALL 16S19 AND 16N02, THE VEHICLE DID EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL STATED IN REGARD TO THE DOWNSHIFTING HOWEVER AS PER THE MECHANIC WHO REPAIRED, THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE BEEN THE REASON THE PLANETARY GEARS WENT OUT AS WELL AND WE HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT CONSIDERABLE COST. FORD SERVICE INDICATED IT WOULD TAKE AT LEAST A WEEK TO TWO WEEKS FOR REPAIR AS THERE WERE OTHER TRANSMISSION JOBS IN FRONT OF OURS AT BOTH DEALERSHIPS. WE MADE THE DECISION TO HAVE IT TOWED TO ANOTHER TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP AS WE COULD NOT BE WITHOUT OUR VEHICLE FOR UP TO TWO WEEKS. FORD IS NOW REFUSING TO HELP PAY FOR REPAIRS/REPLACEMENT SINCE REPAIRS WERE NOT DONE AT A FORD CERTIFIED REPAIR SHOP. WE EVEN KEPT THE TRANSMISSION FOR FORD TO TAKE A LOOK AT IN REGARD TO THIS RECALL...THEY WEREN'T INTERESTED. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY 104,000 MILES, THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.

I WAS STOPPED ON A SINGLE LANE STREET AT A STOP SIGN, WAITING TO ENTER A TWO LANE ROAD WITH SHOULDERS. I WAS GOING TO TURN LEFT ONTO THE HIGHWAY. ALL TRAFFIC FROM THE LEFT HAD PASSED. THERE WAS STILL ONE VEHICLE COMING FROM THE RIGHT, BUT IT WAS STILL FAR ENOUGH AWAY THAT I HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO PULL OUT AND ACCELERATE. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND I BEGAN TO GIVE THE TRUCK GAS TO PULL OUT. I ONLY TRAVELED SEVERAL FEET WHEN THE TRUCK DIED. IT JUST STOPPED RUNNING, AS IF I HAD SHUT THE KEY OFF WHILE MOVING. NO SOUNDS OF ANY KIND OR ANY WARNING. IT JUST DIED. I WAS FACING ACROSS THE ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIRST LANE HEADING STRAIGHT TOWARDS THE OTHER SIDE. I THINK THE ROAD WAS SLIGHTLY SLOPPED BECAUSE I HAD JUST ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GET ACROSS AS I WAS FIGHTING TO TURN THE TRUCK ONTO THE SHOULDER. IF I WASN'T ABLE TO TURN THE TRUCK I WOULD OF ENDED UP IN A SMALL GULLY ON THE OTHER SIDE. LUCKILY THE DRIVER OF THE APPROACHING CAR FROM MY RIGHT WAS ALERT, AND HAD ENOUGH TIME TO GO BEHIND ME. THIS COULD OF ENDED BADLY. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO MY DEALER. THEY STATED THE PROBLEM WAS WITH A FUSE (#27) FOR THE PUMP RELAY, AND THAT THERE WAS A TSB.

2011 FORD F-150 TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH TRAVELING STRAIGHT AND ANOTHER TRUCK TURNED IN FRONT OF THE F-150. BRAKES WERE PRESSED AND COULD NOT STOP FAST ENOUGH TO AVOID THE COLLISION. TRUCK AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NOT SURE IF AIR BAG FAILURE OR TRUCK WIRING/COMPUTER COMMUNICATION FAILURE. WOULD BE NICE TO GET MORE INFORMATION ON WHY THE AIR BAGS WOULD HAVE NOT DEPLOYED.

CODE P0016, TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER AND TIMING CHAIN LOOSENESS ON ECOBOOST FORD F-150. 2011 W LOW MILES AT 59,000. COMMON PROBLEM SHOULD BE A RECALL.

THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST ISN'T PROPERLY WORK AND I'VE READ MULTIPLE REVIEWS OF THIS ISSUE WITH SOME WINDOWS EVEN EXPLODING. THIS TRUCK IS A FAMILY VEHICLE AND THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODING ON MY DAUGHTERS IS A HUGE CONCERN.

2011 FORD F150 XLT SUPERCAB 4X4 WITH 50,000 MILES HAS PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST STEERING (EPAS) AND FORD HAS BEEN NOTIFIED BUT REFUSED TO REPLACE OR ASSIST WITH REPLACEMENT AND WANTS APPROXIMATELY $1600 TO REPAIR. STEERING OFTEN BECOMES CATCHY AND CAUSES DRIVER TO JERK STEERING WHEEL TO STAY IN LANE WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 3 MPH, THE FUEL GAUGE SWITCHED FROM FULL TO EMPTY AND THE ODOMETER FAILED TO PROVIDE THE ACCURATE READING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FUEL PUMP SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THE ODOMETER WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

TSB 14-0196, TSB 15-0131, TSB 16-0027 - ALL EXPLAIN THE ISSUE, SO YES FORD KNOWS IT IS A RECURRING ISSUE. ITS BASICALLY THE ENGINE RATTLING FOR 2-5 SECONDS WHEN YOU STARTING THE VEHICLE FROM A COLD START. IN MECHANICS TERMS THE PRIMARY TIMING BELT HAS STRETCHED AND TAKES THAT 2-5 SECONDS TO PICK UP THE SLACK.THIS VIDEO EXPLAINS IT VERY WELL. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=WT3AC_H8WL0 FORD ONLY COVERS THIS ISSUE FOR 5YR/60K MILES WHICH IS TERRIBLE. TONS OF DIFFERENT MODELS OF FORDS HAVE THIS ISSUE OVER A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT YEARS. THIS SHOULD EASILY BE A RECALL ON FORDS OR ATLEAST AN EXTENSION IN WARRANTY. THIS REPAIR WILL COST AROUND $2000 TO HAVE A FORD DEALER FIX IT FOR YOU. I CURRENTLY ONLY HAVE 62K MILES ON MY TRUCK AND FORD STILL WON'T EVEN GIVE ME A DISCOUNT FOR THE REPAIRS. IM ONLY 2K MILES OVER THE WARRANTY MARK AND STILL GET NOTHING? I'VE LOVED FORD TRUCKS FOR YEARS BUT AFTER ALL THIS, ITS EASILY DRIVING ME AWAY FROM WANTING ANOTHER FORD. *TR

STEERING FROZE AND I COULD NOT TURN LEFT. WE WERE DRIVING INTO TOWN FROM THE LAKE, PULLING OUR BOAT. BEGAN TO NOTICE THE TRUCK WAS NOT ALLOWING ME THE ADJUST LEFT AND ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER WE COULD NOT TURN LEFT. I PULLED AS A HARD AS I COULD AND COULD ONLY MOVE THE WHEEL ABOUT 1 INCH LEFT. NEXT DAY THE RADIO DISPLAY SCREEN SAID SOMETHING ABOUT POWER STEERING SYSTEM. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MCKIE FORD IN RAPID CITY SD BY DRIVING ONLY WHERE I COULD TURN RIGHT. FORD DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING GEAR AND CHARGED ME $1500. AND NO GUARANTEE THE "NEW" EPAS GEAR BOX WON'T FAIL. VERY FRIGHTENING TO BE DRIVING AND NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE OR TURN LEFT! AND I SEE FORD HAS STARTED RECALLING SOME OF THERE VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME SYSTEM. HOW CAN THEY RECALL SOME NOT ALL? IN HINDSIGHT, THERE WAS A SYMPTOM FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS: WHEN DRIVING THROUGH A LEFT CURVE THE TRUCK WOULD "BUCKLE" OR KICK EVER SO SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT AS IF THE TIE ROD WAS LOOSE. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP A COUPLE TIMES AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO TELL ME WHY IT WAS DOING THAT. *TR

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (EPSA) IS LEAKING WATER AND POWER STEERING FLUID. IT'S MAKING NOISES AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT SINCE THIS IS MY MAIN TRANSPORTATION FOR WORK AND FAMILY. I'VE READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND PEOPLE SAYING THEIR WHEELS HAVE LOCKED UP AND JUST MISSED FATAL ACCIDENTS ESPECIALLY DOING HIGHER SPEEDS ON HIGHWAY TRAVEL. IS IT GOING TO TAKE A DEATH BEFORE THIS PART IS RECALLED? TRUCK COMES TO A QUICK STOP LIKE ITS JUMPING GEARS.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE, SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER, WHEN MOVING AND TURNING. *TR

TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. TRUCK SHIFTS GEARS ERRATICALLY, REVERSE LIGHTS WILL NOT OPERATE CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. THE SHIFTING IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE INABILITY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF MY SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. AT TIMES THE REVERSE LIGHTS WILL COME ON WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC EVEN IF THE VEHICLE IS MOVING FORWARD. FORD HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS FOR THE SAME VEHICLE BUILT IN THE SAME PLANT, HOWEVER THE MANUFACTURE DATE FOR THE RECALL BEGINS IN AUGUST OF 2011, MY TRUCK WAS BUILT IN JUNE OF 2011. THEREFORE MY TRUCK IS NOT COVERED. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN PLACED AT RISK FOR AN ACCIDENT FOR THIS ISSUE. I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT ALREADY ACKNOWLEDGED BY FORD, AND CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULDN'T CHOOSE TO FIX EVERY VEHICLE AFFECTED BY THIS INSTEAD OF JUST A FEW. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK MY STEERING BEGAN TO BE VERY HARD TO STEER AND A WARNING APPEARED ON SCREEN TO CHECK POWER STEERING THEN I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND WARNING IN SCREEN WENT TO REPAIR POWER STEERING NOW. I NO LONGER HAVE POWER STEERING AND HAVE HAD ESTIMATES UP TO 2200 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. *TR

THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION AND COULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2011 F150 SUPERCREW CAB ON A 30 DEGREE EVENING, I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROSTER. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES, A PASSENGER IN THE BACK SEAT HEARD A CRACKLING SOUND AND THEN A LOUD POP, THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE 3 SECTION REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED, WITHIN A FEW HOURS THE GLASS FROM THIS WINDOW HAD STARTED TO FALL OUT AND ENTER INTO THE CAB, AND ONTO THE SEATS.

3.5 ECO BOOST BOGGED DOWN WHEN I WAS PASSING....ON 1-2-20017..ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT..SAME SYMPTOMS AS MANNY ECO BOOST F150 FORD....VERY DANGEROUS !!!!

ON TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 27, 2016 JUST AS I WAS PULLING INTO THE PARKING SPACE AT MY OFFICE A LIGHT FLASHED ON THE PANEL AND READ "POWER STEERING FAULT" AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 2-HOURS BEFORE STARTING IT AGAIN. NOW THE MESSAGE READ "SERVICE STEERING NOW". I CONTACTED FORD'S ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY CAME THE NEXT DAY AND TOWED MY TRUCK TO UPPER MARLBORO FORD AS THEY ARE DOWN THE STREET FROM MY HOME. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THE STEERING RACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR A COST OF $2000. FURTHERMORE, THAT PART IS ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH FORD AND I'VE NOW READ WHERE HUNDREDS OF OTHER FORD F150 OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

STEADY DRIVING DOWN ROAD AT 40+ MPH, TRUCK AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR. COASTED TO A STOP, SHUT TRUCK OFF, STARTED IT BACK UP, AND TRANSMISSION WAS LOCKED INTO 5TH GEAR. VEHICLE WOULD NOT DOWN OR UP SHIFT, OR DISENGAGE INTO NEUTRAL. LCD AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LOST ALL INFORMATION INCLUDING SPEED, MPG, MILES REMAINING, CURRENT MILEAGE, ETC. CURRENT MODEL YEAR IS COVERED BY EXISTING FORD/NHTSA RECALL INCLUDING MY BUILD DATE AND BUILD LOCATION, HOWEVER FORD SAYS THAT THE SPECIFIC PART IN MY VEHICLE IS NOT APPLICABLE, DESPITE TSB/RECALL SYMPTOMS MATCHING MY ISSUE PERFECTLY. NHTSA RECALL # 16V248000, FORD RECALL # 16S19. *TR

REAR WINDOW PASSENGER SIDE SHATTERED SPONTANEOUSLY WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED

WHENEVER I START TO DRIVE AND EXCELERATE THE GEAR SHIFTS OR JUMPS

STEERING LOCKS UP WHILE TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE IN MOTION ON ANY ROAD SURFACE. SAME PROBLEM WE HAD WITH OUR OTHER TRUCK THAT IS A ONE SERIAL NUMBER OFF. WITH THAT TRUCK THE DEALER NEEDED TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. THE TRUCK HAD 15000 MILE. THIS TRUCK HAVING PROBLEM NOW HAS 19,500 MILES ON IT. THE TRUCK WITH THE PROBLEM NOW IS CONSTANTLY HAVING THE STEERING LOCKING UP AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY NOW. *TR
