2011 Ford F-150 complaints

ENGINE FAILURE ON HARD ACCELERATION. TRUCK DID NOT MAINTAIN SPEED AND RECOVER.I HAD TO TAKE FOOT OFF OF GAS PEDAL FOR ENGINE TO RECOVER. THIS OCCURRED IN FLORIDA UNDER PASSING CONDITIONS. IS NHTSA WAITING FOR DEATHS OR WOULD ANOTHER REPORT FROM FORD THAT IT'S NOT A PROBLEM WOULD DO?

#1: DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, ATTEMPTING TO PASS A SEMI; VEHICLE LOST POWER AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND WE HAD TO COAST TO A STOP. THIS HAS ACTUALLY HAPPENED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE INTERCOOLER AND THE SECOND TIME I REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS. IT OCCURRED ABOUT THREE WEEKS AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE IT'S REGULAR SERVICE. IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE GAPS ON THE PLUGS, AND THEY KNEW CARS WERE LOSING POWER BECAUSE OF IT, THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THAT AT THE SERVICE! #2: DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND SPEEDOMETER JUMPED AROUND AND WENT TO ZERO. AFTER I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY, I LOST POWER AND HAD ERRATIC SHIFTING WHILE TRYING TO CROSS AN INTERSECTION. THERE'S A TSB OUT FOR THIS TOO!! WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL IF THERE'S A DEFECTIVE PART THAT CREATES DANGEROUS SITUATIONS!?!?

ROLLING BACKWARDS FROM PARK IN REVERSE THE BRAKES ABS STARTED PUSHING BACK ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IN REVERSE.

I HAVE A 2011 FORD F150 ECOBOOST. I RECEIVED A EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR ISSUES OCCURRING WITH THE ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP. I HAVE DIAGNOSED AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES AFTER STARTING THE TRUCK UP. I STARTED THE TRUCK UP PUT IT IN REVERSE BACKED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND LOST ALL ABILITY TO BRAKE AND STOP THE TRUCK. IF THERE WAS A VEHICLE OR INDIVIDUAL BEHIND ME THERE COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT WHERE INJURY OR DEATH COULD HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO THE INABILITY TO STOP THE TRUCK WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE ISSUE AND THEY IGNORED THE ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP STATING THAT IT WAS THE MASTER PISTON AND IT WOULD COST 700 DOLLARS TO FIX. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I BELIEVE I WAS LIED TOO AFTER OTHERS HAVE REENACTED THE SAME SITUATION THAT HAS OCCURRED TO ME. IF THE BRAKING ISSUE OCCURS MORE THAN ONCE I WILL ESCALATE THIS ISSUE TO HIGHER AUTHORITY INDIVIDUALS AT FORD. THIS ISSUE MUST BE FIXED BEFORE INJURY, DEATH OR LITIGATION OCCURS.

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED (70) MPH THE TRANSITION WILL DOWN SHIFT INTO LOW GEAR CAUSING THE REAR TIRES TO SKID, ENGINE RPM TO SPIKE. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING AND IF ON WET OR SNOW-COVERED ROADS YOU WOULD NOT MAINTAIN CONTROL.

I HAVE A 2011 FORD F-150 4X2 PLATINUM 4 DOOR PICK, EQUIPPED WITH A 5.0 LITRE V-8ENGINE, WHICH HAD 51881 MILES WHEN MY PROBLEM OCCURRED. WE WERE IN CAMERON, ARIZONA, ON OUR WAY TO THE EAST RIM OF THE GRAND CANYON. TURNED OFF THE TRUCK, USED THEIR FACILITIES, WENT BACK TO TRUCK, IT CRANKED, BUT WOULD NOT START, EVEN AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS. LET SET FOR ONE HOUR, STILL WOULD NOT START. CALLED TOW TRUCK, WHICH HAD TO COME FROM FLAGSTAFF. DROPPED OFF AT FORD DEALER, AS IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING MORNING, EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD ALONG LIST OF VEHICLES TO WORK ON. I THEN TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE, IT DID START, PICKED MY WIFE AND BELONGINGS FROM THE HOTEL, AND DROVE, NON-STOP TO EL CENTRO (350 MILES). TOOK TO DEALER. IT STARTED AGAIN FOR THEM. GO FIGURE! LATER THAT AFTERNOON, IT WOULD NOT START FOR THEM. THEY THEN CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY, WHO TOLD THEM WHAT TO LOOK FOR, TSB 15-0137. THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A TEMPORARY REPAIR, AND THAT THEY WOULD ORDER A NEW FUSE BLOCK, AS FUSE NUMBER 27 HAD MELTED THE CONNECTIONS IN THE BOX, THUS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE A PROPER CONNECTION. THE GENERAL MANAGER TOLD ME ABOUT A PERSONAL FRIEND OF HIS WHO HAD THIS HAPPEN TO HIS ALMOST NEW TRUCK, AND HE GOT RID OF THE TRUCK. I CANNOT AFFORD TO DO THAT. IT HAS BEEN SINCE NOVEMBER 9, 2015 WHEN THIS OCCURRED, AND NOW THE AGENCY, EL CENTRO MOTORS 1520 FORD DRIVE EL CENTRO, CA. 92243 (760) 336-2100 IS TELLING ME THAT REPAIR TSB 15-013

REAR WINDOW SHATTERING DUE TO REAR DEFROST TEMP IN THE 30'S, STARTED MY TRUCK, TURNED ON THE FRONT & REAR DEFROST FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE LEAVING THE DRIVEWAY. HEARD A LOUD POP FROM BEHIND ME. MY DRIVERS SIDE REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE DEFROST, AND TURNED OFF MY CAR. GOOD THING I HADN'T PUT MY CHILD IN THE CAR SEAT BEFORE THE DEFROSTER CAUSED THE GLASS TO SHATTER. I NEVER PUT THE VEHICLE IN GEAR, STAYED STATIONARY.

2011 FORD F-150. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR MALFUNCTION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE BLEND DOOR FAILED, THE HVAC SYSTEM WOULD BLOW HOT AIR INTO THE CABIN. THE CONSUMER STATED THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS THE BLEND DOORS GEAR TEETH BECOMING BRITTLE UNDER NORMAL WORKING CONDITIONS AND SHEARING OFF, WHICH PREVENTED THE ACTUATION OF THE BLEND DOOR AND THEN IT BECAME SPRING LOADED TO A FULL TEMPERATURE CONDITION. THE BLEND DOOR FAILED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS. *JB

ON MARCH 24, 2016 I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND ACTIVATED REAR DEFROST AS THERE HAD BEEN SOME LIGHT SNOW BUILD UP. WITHIN A FEW MOMENTS I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROX 45 MPH. ABOUT TWO MINUTES LATER I HEARD A LOUD BANG THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT. THIS WAS A BIT STARTLING AND MY REACTION IMMEDIATELY CAUSED ME TO SWERVE INTO THE ADJACENT LANE OF TRAFFIC. I QUICKLY PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. THE SLIDER AND LEFT SIDE DID NOT BREAK, ONLY THE RIGHT. THIS COULD HAVE TURNED OUT MUCH WORSE HAD THERE BEEN A VEHICLE DRIVING NEXT TO ME AT THE TIME. VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE AND POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS.

REAR PASSENGER WINDOW SHATTERED AFTER TURNING ON REAR WINDOW DEFROST.

WHILE PASSING A SEMI ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY MY ECOBOOST F150 BEGAN TO SHUTTER AND LOOSE POWER. I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE ALREADY INVESTIGATED THIS ISSUE AND DETERMINED IT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER MY EXPERIENCE TODAY I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE, LET ME EXPLAIN. WHEN THIS HAPPENS WHILE PASSING SOMEONE AND YOU'RE FORCED TO SLOW DOWN WHILE IN WRONG LANE. THIS CAN BE QUITE SCARY, CARS COMING AT YOU, CARS BEHIND YOU ALSO WANTING TO PASS AND A LARGE SEMI NEXT YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE REQUIRED A LONGER TIME TO STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED.

POWER STEERING ASSIST DEFAULT THIS MESSAGE COMES UP AND POWER STEERING IS GONE. THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP GETS A CODE THE SAYS "STEERING ANGLE SENSOR" THE VEHICLE IS DRIVABLE AT SPEEDS OF 45 MPH BUT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AT LOW SPEEDS. THE STEERING IS JERKY AND HARD TO TURN. STEERING MAKES A LOT OF RACKET ESPECIALLY ON SHARP TURNS. AFTER SHARP TURNS LIKE WHEN PARKING THIS MESSAGE COMES UP - "SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK" THEN THE TURN SIGNALS HAVE TO BE MANUALLY HELD ON. THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS BECAUSE I WAS MAKING A SLIGHT TURN ON A COUNTRY ROAD WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED I HAD MY LITTLE NIECE (18MONT) IN THE TRUCK TO THINK THAT I COULD OF LOST HER BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE TISK TISK FORD YOU LET ME DOWN. RIGHT NOW I HAVEN'T AND I WILL NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK IN ANY WAY ITS BEEN 3 WEEKS AND MY TRUCK WILL SIT IN THE DRIVE WAY, IM ALSO MAKING A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE TO SEE IF IT GETS FORDS ATTENTION.

I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND FORD REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I CAN BE AT A TOTAL STOP WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE NOISE IT IS ALMOST AS IF SOMEBODY HAS RAN INTO ME. REAR AXLE AND DRIVE TRAIN ARE ALSO MAKING NOISES. I HAVE ATTACHED A DOCUMENT THAT I HAVE RECEIVED FROM ROD BAKER FORD FOR HOW MANY TIMES THE TRUCK WAS BROUGHT IN.

BRAKES FAILING WHEN COLD NO VACUUM BOOST GRINDING NOISE AT FLOOR DRIVER SIDE BRAKE PEDDLE VERY HARD TO PRESS.

POWER STEERING HAS BEGUN WORKING INTERMITTENTLY REQUIRING EXTRA EFFORT WHEN TURNING, USUALLY WHEN VEHICLE IS COLD. PROBLEM SEEMS TO DECREASE AFTER HAVING DRIVEN FOR 10 MINUTES OR SO.

STEERING LOCKED UP WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY .RACK AND PINION IS BAD .AT SAME TIME IT TAKES MY TURN SINGLES OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ENTERING THE VEHICLE AND CLOSING THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FRACTURED WITHOUT ANY IMPACT.

I OWN A 2011 FORD F150 ECOBOOST V6. FOR THE PAST YEAR,THE ENGINE WILL QUIT MAKING POWER UNDER ACCELERATION WHEN MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY OR PASSING. I CURRENTLY HAVE 65000 MILES. FORD HAS TOLD ME THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND INVITED ME TO SPEND MY MONEY IN THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHEN THIS IS CLEARLY A KNOWN ISSUE. THIS IS CLEARLY AND UNSAFE ISSUE AND JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE ATTEMPTS TO MERGE ON A HIGHWAY AND IS HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE THE TRUCK SUDDENLY LOST POWER.

MY F-150 SUPERCREW 4X4 WITH ECOBOOST ENGINE BEGAN MISFIRING ON HARD ACCELERATION SITUATIONS, SUCH AS MERGING AND CHANGING LANES ON THE INTERSTATE. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS, THE ISSUE HAS GOTTEN WORSE TO THE POINT OF MISFIRING UNDER NORMAL ACCELERATION. THE JERKING FROM THE MISFIRE CONDITION IS QUITE VIOLENT, AND I BELIEVE TO BE UNSAFE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE RELATED TO THE DESIGN OF THE TRUCKS INTERCOOLER. CONDENSATION BUILDS DURING PROLONGED HIGHWAY DRIVING, PARTICULARLY IN HUMID CLIMATES. I AM IN ARIZONA, BUT I DRIVE 50+ MILES A DAY ON THE FREEWAY. THE NHTSA DROPPED THEIR INVESTIGATION OF THIS UNSAFE CONDITION, APPARENTLY AGREEING THAT FORD'S TSB WAS SUFFICIENT IN DEALING WITH THE MATTER. MY TRUCK IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER IT EXHIBITS A DESIGN FLAW THAT IS UNSAFE. HOW IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THIS? DISAPPOINTING.

WHILE STEERING THROUGH A TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE STEERING SUDDENLY LOCKED UP FOR 2 SECONDS AND THE "SERVICE ADVANCETRACK" MESSAGE CAME ON. THE MESSAGE RESET ITSELF AND DID NOT APPEAR AGAIN FOR 2 DAYS, WHEN THE STEERING LOCKED AGAIN. THIS REPEATED UNTIL THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE STEERING RACK WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP IN MARCH OF 2015. IT IS NOW MARCH OF 2016 AND THE STEERING IS STARTING TO LOCK UP AGAIN, THIS TIME AT LOW SPEEDS WHILE PARKING. THE TRUCK WILL BE GOING BACK TO THE DEALER FOR MORE SERVICE.

WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK AND I HIT THE BRAKES, SOMETIMES THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY ACCELERATES HAVING A HARD TIME TRYING TO CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE TRUCK. WENT TO THE DEALER AND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO THEM, CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY THIS HAPPENS. NOW I HAVE TO BRAKE A GREAT DISTANCE IN ADVANCE BEFORE ACTUALLY GOING TO STOP BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF AND WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. IT ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I WAS BACKING UP INTO A PARKING SPACE AND HAD TO JAM IN PARK TO STOP IT. IT JUST HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST TWO YEARS.

THERE ARE @ HOSES THAT COME OUT OF THE RADIATOR AND GO INTO A HARD PLASTIC T-PIECE (PART NUMBER DR3Z-8566-A) AND THERE ARE O-RINGS INSIDE OF IT. MINE STARTED LEAKING AND I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE PIECE NO BIG DEAL. THEN THE DEALER SHIP WENT ON TO TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED 6 IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS OF THE SAME EXACT YEAR AND MODEL. THE DEALER SHIP IS IN LIMA OHIO. THAT BEING SAID IF THERE ARE SO MANY OF THESE THAT ARE GOING BAD AND THE VEHICLE ONLY BEING 5 YEARS OLD I FEEL LIKE THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE PART/ DESIGN OF IT THAT CAUSES IT TO FAIL.

IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR WHILE SWERVING TO ALLOW MORE TIME FOR THE STOP TO OCCUR. THE FAILURE RECURRED.

MY 2011 FORD F-150 WITH THE ECOBOOST PACKAGE WILL STALL UPON ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL FLASH MOMENTARILY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUES AS IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO ACT IN A MANNER THAT INST PREDICTABLE WHEN CHANGING LANES ON AN INTERSTATE OR PASSING.

I HAVE 63,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. IN THE LAST WEEK THE STEERING HAS ACTED VERY WEIRD. I HAVE TO OVERCOMPENSATE (OVERSTEER OR UNDERSTEER) IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THE CORRECT TURN. I WAS TRAVELING IN TOWN. I WOULDN'T DRIVE IT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE I CAN DEPEND ON THE STEERING.
