2011 Ford F-150 complaints

AFTER AUTO STARTING MY TRUCK ON THE MORNING OF DECEMBER 14 2016. UPON DEPARTING MY HOUSE, I HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE. HOWEVER I WAS NOT ABLE TO VERIFY WHERE IT CAME FROM UNTIL I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION. I NOTICED A PATTERN ON MY SLIDING REAR WINDOW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I DISCOVERED THE WINDOW WAS SHATTERED ALL THOUGH IT WAS STILL IN ONE PIECE. WHILE RESEARCHING METHODS OF REPAIR I DISCOVERED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 70 TIMES.IN PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE ATTRIBUTED TO FAULTY CONSTRUCTION OR AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE THAT COULD CAUSE A FIRE. I FEEL THIS IS A DRIVING HAZARD FOR BOTH DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF MINUTE GLASS FRAGMENTS GETTING IN EYES AND CAUSING INJURY AND POSSIBLY A FATAL ACCIDENT. THEREFORE I FEEL THAT AN IMMEDIATE RECALL IS NECESSARY. PEOPLE HAVE LODGED COMPLAINTS SINCE 2010 UNTIL PRESENT. INJURY WOULD OCCUR IF THE WINDOW WAS TO BLOW OUT CAUSING INJURY OR ACCIDENT TO OTHER VEHICLES OR PERSONS FOLLOWING MINE OR OTHERS VEHICLES (MOTORCYCLIST). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING REQUIRED ADDITIONAL EFFORT TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMING ON HARD STEERING HAVE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR SAME PROBLEM FIRST TIME THEY CLEARD THE CODES SET LAST TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THE ANGLE SENSOR IN THE POWER STEERIN IS BAD AND THAT THE RACK AND PINION NEED REPLACE (EPAS GEAR)

INTERCOOLER FOR TURBO HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR A THIRD TIME AS THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER WHEN ACCELERATING FOR PASSING, ETC.

REAR SLIDING WINDOW EXPLODED FROM ELECTRIC DEFROSTERS COULD NOT SEE OUT OF REAR WINDOW THE BANG WAS SO LOUD I LOST CONTROL FOR A MOMENT THERE WAS GLASS EVERYWHERE IN THE BACK SEAT FORD REFUSES TO EVEN LOOK AT IT AND THE EXTENDED COVERAGE WONT COVER THE REPAIR I CAN USE THE DEFROSTER WHEN HAVING SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEATS WHEN ITS COLD FOR THE FEAR OF INJURY TO THE CHILDREN THIS IS A OPTION THE COST BIG $$$$ AND CANT BE USED WHEN IT COLD AND HAVING MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE BACK SEATS FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP ON THIS ONE ITS NOT SAFE FOR MANY REASONS I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND IF THE CHILDREN WERE WITH ME IT COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. *TR

MY 2011 F150 FX4 HAS BEEN ACTING UP WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO REPLICATE IT. SO FAR THEY HAVE CHANGED ALL OF TH COIL PACKS, RESET THE TRANSMISSION, CHANGED ALL THE SPARK PLUGS IN A HOPE THAT WAS THE ISSUE. WELL IT'S NOT. THE TRUCK LUNGES FORWARD WITH LOUD BANGS AND GRINDING NOISES. RPM'S GO UP AND DOWN AND THE TRUCK SOUNDS AS IF I DOWNSHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO FIRST. THEN I CAN ONLY GO 40 MILES AN HOUR WITH HIGH RPMS. ENGINE LIGHTS HAVE LIT UP AND NOW A WRENCH. THIS IS CRAZY MY GAUGES DON'T WORK THIS IS DANGEROUS.

STEERING DON'T WORK RITE

INTER COOLER ISSUE. VEHICLE BUCKED AND DIED, BROUGHT TO DEALER, REPAIRED TWO COILS, DIED ON HIGHWAY ON WAY HOME FROM JUST PICKING UP. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER, THEY SAID NOTHING WRONG. TWO DAYS LATER, DIED AGAIN. BROUGHT TO AUTO ZONE AND GOT DIAGNOSED ANITGER BAD COIL. I REPLACED THAT. NIW ONE WEEK LATER, VEHICLE BUCKS AND JERKS ON HIGHWAY.HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS AND SAY IT'S CONDENSATION IN INTER COOLER SYSTEM.FORD CLAIMS NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM OR REPAIRS OTHER THINGS AND PROBLEM PERSISTS. SYSTEM IS FILLED WAS FILLED WITH CONDENSATION. DANGEROUS AS VEHICLE CONTINUED TO BUCK AND NOT ACCELERATE.

WHEN STARTING OFF FROM A STOPPED POSITION THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT VERY HARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALER AND IT DID NOT DO IT FOR A FEW MONTHS. NOW IT DOES IT EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE. THIS SHOULD NOT DO THIS ANYMORE AFTER BEING AT THE DEALERS.

WHEN TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR, THE TRANSMISSION WILL AUTOMATICALLY DOWN SHIFT TO AN INAPPROPRIATE GEAR, MOSTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS , ALTHOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED IN CITY DRIVING. ( I.E.70 MPH TO 4TH GEAR, 55 MPH TO 2ND. ETC.) NOW, ALL THIS DOWNSHIFTING HAS CAUSED THE TRANS TO SLIP, NOT GO IMMEDIATELY INTO GEAR, ETC. FORD HAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT SAYS MY TRUCK WAS BUILT BEFORE THEY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS, SO IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. AFTER THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WAS ACTIVATED, THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE CASING OF THE HEATING ELEMENT AND THE SHATTERED AREA OF THE WINDOW CONTAINED BURN MARKS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A DRASTIC REDUCTION IN SPEED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ANY RATE OF SPEED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED TWICE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER A THIRD TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FOR A MANUFACTURER RECALL, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WHEN REAR DEFROST WAS RUNNING. DEFROST HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR 10 MINUTES. VERY LOUD POP WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR

COMPLAINT OUR 2011 FORD F150 HAD AN INVOLUNTARY AIRBAG DEPLOY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER FURTHER REVIEW FROM THE FORD DEALER THEY MAINTAIN THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE CAUSE IS. CURRENTLY FORD IS REVIEWING HOWEVER, WILL NOT RESPOND TO WHEN THE EVALUATION WILL TAKE PLACE OR HOW LONG THE EVALUATION WILL TAKE AND THAT FORD COUNCIL IS "REVIEWING" HOWEVER, THEY WILL NOT TELL US WHEN WE CAN EXPECT A RESPONSE OR REMEDY IF AT ALL. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AND FORD DEALER AND FORD CORPORATE ARE TELLING US, THOUGHT THE VEHICLE DOES HAVE A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND THERE ARE MELTED WIRES THAT COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE HAD WE NOT STOPPED THE VEHICLE, THEY ARE NOT SURE THE PREMATURE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND THE SHORT CIRCUIT OF THE WIRING ARE RELATED. THOUGH THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AT THE SAME TIME THE FORD DEALER MAINTAINS THAT THEY ARE NOT CONVINCED THAT IT FAILURES ARE RELATED. WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OUT OF STATE FROM WHERE WE LIVE AND THE DEALER WAS OVER HUNDRED MILES FROM THE OCCURRENCE AND IT HAS NOW BEEN 7 DAYS AT THE DEALER WITH NO RESOLVE OFFERED NOT DO WE KNOW WHEN WE MIGHT HEAR BACK. CURRENTLY THE DEALER REFUSES TO WORK ON THE TRUCK UNTIL THEY HEAR FROM FORD AND FORD TOLD US IT IS UNDER REVIEW WITH LEGAL AND NO ACTIONS WILL BE DONE UNTIL "LEGAL COUNCIL" HAS REVIEWED. WE HAVE A CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND WE CALL DAILY AND IT APPEARS THAT THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. CAN WE OBTAIN HOW THIS WAS RESOLVED? *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2011 FORD F150 PLATINUM ON A DARK CHILLY MORNING, THE WINDOWS AND OUTSIDE MIRRORS WERE FOGGED SO I HAD THE REAR DEFROSTER TURNED ON. I HEARD A LOUD NOISE THAT I THOUGHT WAS A GUNSHOT. I LATER NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE REAR WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. THIS GLASS WAS IN PLACE BUT CRACKED INTO THOUSANDS OF PIECES. I CALLED FORD AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD NO INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM, THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AT 75000 MILES SO THEY WOULD OFFER NO ASSISTANCE. I SEE THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BEFORE THIS CAUSES A SERIOUS INCIDENT.

STEERING LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING. WHILE MAKING A SHARP LEFT TURN IN A PARKING LOT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP MOMENTARILY THEN BECAME HARD TO TURN. AT THE SAME TIME I HEARD A LOUD GRINDING OR BUZZING SOUND AND THE 'SERVICE ADVANCE TRAK' LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED 150 MILES TO MY MECHANIC. MY MECHANIC CONFERRED WITH THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND DETERMINED THAT THE RACK AND PINION HAD TO BE REPLACE. TRUCK HAS 57,000 MILES ON IT. MY MECHANIC EXPECTED THE PART TO TAKE UP TO A WEEK TO ARRIVE BUT IT WAS DELIVERED THE SAME DAY. DEALER HAD SEVERAL UNITS IN STOCK. SEEMS STRANGE TO HAVE THAT MANY OF THIS P[ART IN STOCK UNLESS THERE IS A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING FLAW THAT FORD HAS NOT DECLARED. I CHECKED THE F150 ONLINE FORUMS AND THERE ARE MANY REFERENCES TO THIS PROBLEM. NOT SURE WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE A RECALL HAPPEN BUT GIVEN THE SEEMINGLY HIGH NUMBER OF OWNERS AFFECTED BY THIS FORD SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO HELP. THIS COST $1745 TO FIX (INCLUDING TOW) AND CREATED A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE GEAR SHIFTER INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED GEARS WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED RANDOMLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 111,476.

WIRING HARNESS WAS SHORTED OUT FROM RUBBING ON TOP OF DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING CAUSING ALTERNATOR FAILURE WHILE UNDERWAY IN WARREN PA. STOPPED DEAD SHORTLY AFTER AT TRAFFIC LIGHT.

2011 FORD F150 REGULAR CAB 5.4L STARTED AROUND NOV 16, 2016 STEERING LOCKS FOR A BRIEF MOMENT WHEN EXECUTING TURNS. THE STEERING MECHANISM GRUNTS WHEN MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH. ELECTRICAL ENGAGEMENT OF RELAY OR MOTOR SEVERAL TIMES PER SECOND WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. NO WARNING LIGHTS. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME IT IS DRIVEN. APPEARS TO BE THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST

WHEN SHIFTING THE LEVER TO REVERSE, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE REVERSE IMMEDIATELY AND HAS A LONG DELAY BEFORE SHIFTING TO REVERSE. THE "R" INDICATOR DOES NOT ILLUMINATE AND THE BACKUP LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON EVEN WHEN THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES IN REVERSE. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE SIMILAR TO NHTSA RECALL #12V190000, BUT WHEN I CONTACT FORD I AM TOLD THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THIS TRUCK, WHILE MERGING ON A HIGHWAY, MY TRUCK LOSES ALL POWER AND STARTS SHAKING RAPIDLY, ONCE AGAIN I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULD NOT MERGE. WHEN I INITIALLY HAD THIS ISSUE 50 THOUSAND MILES AGO, I BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO AUTO-NATION FORD IN WHITE BEAR LAKE MINNESOTA, THEY SAID IT WAS AN ISSUE OF SPARK PLUGS, WIRES AND COIL PACKS, FORD ALSO SAID THE ISSUE WAS THE INTER-COOLER. FORD FIXED ALL OF THOSE ISSUES ROUGHLY 50 THOUSAND MILES AGO, BUT HERE WE ARE, MY TRUCK IS AT 100,XXX MILES AND THIS ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN! THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, I HAVE NOW BEEN RUN OFF THE ROAD TWICE AND ALMOST CRASHED INTO A LAKE! WHEN MY TRUCK LOSES ALL POWER AND STARTS SHAKING RAPIDLY, I LOSE CONTROL OF THE HALF TON TRUCK. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, (AUTO-NATION FORD) IN WHITE BEAR LAKE, WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND THEY WOULD LIKE ME TO PAY IN FULL FOR ALL OF THESE ISSUES, WHICH FORD CLEARLY KNOWS ABOUT. I KNOW FOR A FACT I AM NEVER BUYING A FORD AGAIN, MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY HAS NOW BEEN COMPROMISED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND FORD HAS NOT ONCE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY OR OFFERED TO FIX THE ISSUE. I AM VERY DISGUSTED WITH THE WAY FORD HAS BEEN HANDLING THESE SAFETY ISSUES. WHEN YOU BUY A BRAND NEW TRUCK AND THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPEN, THE COMPANY SHOULD TAKE CARE OF YOU, BUT ONCE AGAIN, FORD HAS PROVED THAT THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE GLASS SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 71,500.

WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY QUIT WITH NO WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS HARD TO STEER. PULLED OVER AND SHUT VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF. STEERING WORKED FINE AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WOULD RANDOMLY LOSES POWER STEERING WITH NO WARNING.

THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,200.

HELLO, I JUST HAD RECALL # 16V248 PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE (FORD RECALL # 16S19) (PERFORMED ON 11/15/2016). I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO WORK THIS MORNING (11/16/2016) AND EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS OUTLINED IN THE INITIAL RECALL. I AM GOING TO REACH OUT TO THE SERVICING DEALER (EBY FORD OUT OF GOSHEN, IN) AND FORD TO FIND OUT WHAT MY NEXT STEPS ARE. THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST AND SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN AT A VERY FAST RATE. I HAVE TO THEN PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON, PULL OVER, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND START IT TO GET IT TO COME OUT OF FIRST. THIS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES IN LESS THAN A 20 MILE COMMUTE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER WENT DOWN TO ZERO AND THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED FROM SIXTH GEAR TO SECOND GEAR. ALSO, THE SERVICE VEHICLE SOON WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN REPROGRAMMED THE PCM; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,300.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

I WAS SITTING IN A FAST FOOD LINE WAITING TO PLACE ORDER. THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING AND MY RIGHT FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. (I AM A ONE FOOT DRIVER.)THE TRUCK BEGAN TO INCH FORWARD. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. I PRESSED HARD ON THE BRAKE AND THE REAR WHEELS BEGAN TO SPIN. I SLAMMED THE GEAR SHIFT INTO PARK AND CUT THE ENGINE OFF. I RE-STARTED THE ENGINE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL THE TRUCK OUT OF THE LINE. AFTER RE-STARTING THE ENGINE A COUPLE MORE TIMES I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK HOME. THIS OCCURRED ON OCTOBER 14, 2016. I PARKED THE TRUCK AND CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER. HE SAID I NEEDED TO BRING IT IN. I NEEDED TO MOVE THE TRUCK IN THE MEAN TIME AND IT DID IT AGAIN. THE TRUCK ACCELERATED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE FORD DEALERSHIP COULDN'T GET THE TRUCK TO REPEAT THE PROBLEM. THEY TALKED TO THE FORD REGIONAL MANAGER AND I WAS TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK WHEN THEY HAD A SERVICE REP AVAILABLE TO FULLY CHECK IT OUT. I CHOSE TO LEAVE THE TRUCK AT THE DEALERSHIP RATHER THAN RISK DRIVING IT. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS, SAID THEY DROVE IT 273 MILES AND COULDN'T GET THE PROBLEM TO REPEAT. AND IF THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO REPEAT THE PROBLEM THEY COULDN'T HELP. THE FORD REGIONAL MANAGER SAID THE SAME THING. I HAVE A LOT MORE NOTES BUT THEY PRETTY MUCH SAY THE SAME THING. CAN YOU HELP ME? I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT IT BEING REPAIRED. ISN'T THERE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ABOUT FORD TRUCKS DOING THE SAME OR A SIMILAR THING?

PURCHASED MY F-150 USED (PRIVATE OWNER), HAD 8K MILES ON IT. AT 10-14K, I'VE NOTICE WHEN STARTING OFF AND COMING TO A STOP, THERE'S "JERKING" COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. JUST THIS PASS WEEKEND, I PULLED A TRAILER, A 70 MILE ROUND TRIP, WITH NO "JERKING" ISSUES HOWEVER, ONCE THE TRAILER WAS REMOVED AND I WENT BACK TO NORMAL DRIVING, THE "JERKING" STARTED TO APPEAR...AGAIN. TRYING TO GATHER INFO BEFORE HEADING TO FORD. *TR

THE ENGINE MISFIRES AND CHANGES TO "LIMP MODE" AFTER THE ENGINE SHUDDERS, SHAKES AND LOOSES POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LIFE OF THIS VEHICLE. ALSO THE STEERING STICKS WHEN TURNING LEFT.

2011 F-150 CONTINUES TO LEAK FROM REAR HEADLINER. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT INTO FORD IN 2013 AND 2014 FOR LEAKS. FORD CLAIMED THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM THE THIRD BRAKE LAMP ON CAB. VEHICLE CONTINUES TO LEAK CAUSING MOLDY SMELLING INSIDE ALSO MAKING VISUAL OBSTRUCTION INSIDE OF VEHICLE DUE TO MOISTURE BUILD UP.

REAR DEFROSTER DID NOT WORK FOR A FEW WEEKS. I TRIED IT AGAIN THIS AM AND IT TURNED ON. 5 MINUTES LATER I HEARD AN EXPLOSION AND MY REAR WINDOW ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE SHATTERED. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM AS MY INFANT SITS IN THE BACK FACING THIS WINDOW. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ASAP!!! FORD SHOULD BE LIABLE....

BRAKES SUBBEND FALED NO WARNING. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR VACUUM PUMP IN BREAK VACUM SYSTEM TOOK IT TO FORD DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS ON BACK ORDER AND WOULD CALL WHEN CAME IN IN JUNE. WHEN IT ACTS UP YOU HAVE TO STAND ON PENAL TO STOP. WAS ON VACATION THE BREAKS TOTAL GAVE OUT WITH NO WARNING. I WAS FORCED TO PAY TO HAVE FIXED.

AFTER SHARP TURNS 'SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC' MESSAGE APPEARS AND TURN SIGNALS MALFUNCTION, DEALER STATES SENSOR LOCATED IN STEERING RACK IS BAD AND THE ENTIRE RACK MUST BE REPLACED - VEHICLE HAS 35,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN OWNED LESS THAN 60 MONTHS, BUT THIS PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY. THIS FAILURE AND THE MANUFACTURER'S DISREGARD FOR THE ISSUE IS UNACCEPTABLE.

VEHICLE EXPERIENCES ROUGH IDLE ON COLD STARTS, LUNGES WHEN IN DRIVE AND HESITATES ON QUICK TAKE OFF, DEALER INDICATES THAT CODES INDICATE THAT THE TRANSMISSION PUMP IS FAILING. VEHICLE HAS 35,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN OWNED LESS THAN 60 MONTHS, YET THE DEALER INDICATES THAT A TRANSMISSION PUMP IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S DRIVE WARRANTY. A TRANSMISSION IS UNDOUBTEDLY AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE DRIVE TRAIN, FAILURE OF THIS PART AT THIS LEVEL OF MILEAGE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND THE MANUFACTURER'S FAILURE TO COVER THIS ESSENTIAL REPAIR IS UNACCEPTABLE

DURING DRIVES AT APPROXIMATELY 50-55 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SEIZE WHILE MAKING A LEFT HANDED SLOW CURVE TURN. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES IN A DAY DURING DRIVES ON DIFFERENT TURNS ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE MILEAGE WHEN FAILURE BEGAN WAS 37,000 MILES.

I STARTED GETTING PERIODIC WARNING LIGHTS TO "SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC" ON MY 2011 F150. THE WARNING WOULD GO AWAY AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE ONCE OR TWICE. FIRST TIME I THOUGHT IT MAY BE AN GLITCH IN THE COMPUTER SO DIDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT. AFTER SECOND TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING MODULE STARTING TO FAIL. IF IT IS NOT REPLACE I COULD LOOSE STEERING AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING. I DID SOME INTERNET RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS IS INDEED AN ISSUE WITH SOME FORDS AND PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE POWER STEERING GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. BEING THIS IS THE PRIMARY VEHICLE USED FOR FAMILY TRANSPORTATION I WAS WORRIED. I CALLED FORD AS SOON AS MY DEALER TOLD ME THE PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT. IS LOCATED IN FLORIDA AND THEY WERE CLOSED DUE TO A HURRICANE. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO HAVE THE DEALER FIX THE PROBLEM AND TRY AN DEAL WITH FORD LATER. I CALLED FORD TODAY AND THEY WERE UNWILLING TO ASSIST ME WITH THIS ISSUE, WOULD NOT SEND/EMAIL ME A COPY OF THE CASE FILE NOTES DETAILING MY DISCUSSION WITH THE REP AND REFERRED ME TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER SINCE THE REPAIRS HAVE ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE BEGAN TO SWING AND PROVIDED VARIOUS INCORRECT READINGS. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A SUDDEN HALT AND THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE VEERED. IN ADDITION, WHILE STARTING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILS INTERMITTENTLY. MOST OFTEN IT FAILS WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING LEFT WHILE IN MOTION. WHEN IT FAILS, THE STEERING GOES TO MANUAL WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND COMPLETE THE TURN. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR INJURIES.

JUST LETTING YOU KNOW THE STUMBLE ISSUES TO THESE VEHICLES COULD BE DANGEROUS HAD IT HAPPEN A WEEK OR SO AGO WHILE TOWING. THE POWER WAS TOTALLY GONE AT FULL THROTTLE WHILE PASSING A VEHICLE. WHAT IF I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME. I JUST DISCOVERED ALL THIS INFORMATION. AS I AM TYPING THIS MY VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP GETTING THE CATALYTIC ON THE DRIVER SIDE (BANK ONE) REPLACED AND A RE-FLASH, AS IT THREW THE P0430 DTC. AGAIN IT WAS A DRASTIC POWER LOSS AT FULL THROTTLE, WHEN THROTTLE RELEASED REGULAR OPERATION OCCURRED. "YOU TRY LETTING OFF THE THROTTLE WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF A PASS, I DIDN'T". AND BY THE WAY I WAS A MECHANIC MOST OF MY WORKING DAYS. JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T REPORT IT DOESN'T MEAN IT DOESN'T EXIST. IN MY OPINION THERE ARE A LOT MORE OF THEM OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, JUST GOOGLE IT AND YOU WILL SEE MANY. THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND SLOWING DOWN, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE JERKED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT NOT REPAIRED. THE RESULTS OF THE DIAGNOSTIC WERE UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

SERVICE BULLETIN WAS OUT FOR A BREAK BOOSTER VACUUM FOR 3 MDEL YEARS OF THE F150. HAD TAKEN MY TRUCK IN AROUND MID MAY 2016 AND THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. (HAD A LOANER TRUCK FOR OVER A MONTH) PART WAS INSTALLED AND HAD MY TRUCK BACK A WEEK OR TWO BEFORE THE 4TH OF JULY 2016. STARTED HEARING THE NOISE AGAIN AND WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET MY WORK SCHEDULE TO WORK WITH ME ON GETTING MY TRUCK IN TODAY 10-17-16 AND SURE ENOUGH PART IS BAD. NOW FORD IS SAYING IT'S ON ME TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS PART TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. BARELY 3 AND A HALF MONTHS AFTER IT WAS FIXED. CLAIMING THIS WAS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION FIX. THERE IS NO DOUBT WHY THIS SHOULDN'T BE A RECALL AND WHY FORD SHOULDN'T BE MANNING UP AND TAKING CARE OF THIS ISSUE. POTENTIAL BRAKE FAILURE BECAUSE OF A REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH THIS PART ON MANY OTHER TRUCKS.

ON HARD ACCELERATION LIKE WHEN ENTERING A HIGHWAY OR TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER CAR IT WILL MISS FIRE CONTINUOUSLY THRU THE ACCELERATION 60-70 MPH.SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKING THROWING P0300 CODES FOR MISFIRING AT 47,000 MILES CHANGED ALL SPARK PLUGS / COIL PACKS / WIRES / AIR FILTER / 48,000 STILL MISFIRING

MY 2011 FORD F-150 (WITH ONLY 34,000 MILES) INDICATED A POWER STEERING FAULT WHEN I STARTED IT. THE POWER STEERING WAS LOCKED AND TOOK A LOT OF FORCE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. LUCKILY THIS OCCURRED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND NOT ON A HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT AT HIGH SPEEDS. I HAD TO HAVE MY PICKUP TAKEN TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER WHERE THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING RACK FOR OVER $2000!! AFTER SOME INVESTIGATION, I FOUND THAT THIS EPAS SYSTEM WAS NEW IN 2011 AND FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME, BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL.

REAR GLASS WINDOW ON 2011 F150 WITH POWER SLIDER- DRIVER SIDE BACK QUARTER GLASS SHATTERED, WHILE DRIVING. REAR DEFROSTER WAS ON. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS REPORTED ONLINE. I AM GLAD MY CHILDREN WEREN'T IN THE BACK SEAT AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED AND IT STAYED IN THE FRAME AND DID NOT BLOW OUT/INTO THE REAR VEHICLE PASSENGER AREA

DOOR LATCH WILL NOT LATCH. DOOR SWUNG OPEN WHILE DRIVING.
