2011 Ford F-150 complaints

APPROXIMATELY 9 TO 10 TIMES I HAVE EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER SHUTTERING MISFIRES AND BACKFIRING ONLY TO FIND FOULED SPARK PLUGS I HAVE REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS APPROXIMATELY EIGHT TIMES IN 10,000 MILES DUE TO THIS CONDITION ON THIS FORD ECO-BOOST ENGINE. ALL TSB'S HAVE BEEN COMPLETED ON THE TRUCK YET I STILL EXPERIENCE THIS ENGINE PROBLEM

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I HEARD A LOUD "POP" AND FOUND THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR SECTION OF THE BACK WINDOW SHATTERED. I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE BACK WINDOW AS A UNIT AND IT COST $776. IT APPEARS THE BACK DEFROST SHORTED OUT AND BROKE THE GLASS. FORD DENIES ANY CULPABILITY.

WHEN DRIVING STEERING WHEEL GRABS OR LOCKS ESPECIALLY BUT NOT ALWAYS AT LOW SPEEDS, THIS OCCURS FOR 1-2 SECONDS THEN RELEASES AND IS "NORMAL" AGAIN. IT SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 90 DEGREES. DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHEN OR WHERE IT WILL OCCUR AND YOU HAVE NO CONTROL...

I HAVE A 2011 FORD F-150 FX4 ECOBOOST WITH 44,100 MILES. WHEN THE TRUCK IS FIRST STARTED AFTER SITTING FOR 4 HOURS PLUS, THE BRAKING SYSTEM FAILS UNTIL THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AT WHICH POINT THE BRAKING SYSTEM COMES BACK. THIS HAPPENS EVERY MORNING WHEN BACKING DOWN A FLAT DRIVEWAY OR BACKING OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE AT WORK (TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING FOR 8 HOURS). FROM WHAT I AM READING, THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2011 FORD F-150 ECOBOOST TRUCKS. I BROUGHT THIS ISSUE UP WITH MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AND ENGAGED THE BRAKE PEDAL, THERE WAS EXCESSIVE RESISTANCE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT BECAME LESS RESISTANT AFTER A FEW MINUTES AT A VERY SLOW PACE. THE FAILURE DID NOT OCCUR WHILE DRIVING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE ELECTRONIC ASSIST FOR THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE REAR WINDSHIELD OF THE VEHICLE SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR DEFROSTER MAY HAVE SHORTED OUT, CAUSING THE GLASS TO SHATTER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,600.

POWER REAR WINDOW GLASS HAS FACTORY FLAW CAUSES REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER AND HEATED MIRRORS TO BECOME INOPERABLE. THERE HAS BEEN HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF CASES OF THIS ISSUE. FORD WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL. THEY DO NOT COVER IT IN THEIR TOP TIER EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAMS. I WAS QUOTED OVER $1000 TO REPLACE WHOLE BACK GLASS TO RECTIFY. FORD HAS SINCE CHANGED VENDORS FOR THE COMPLETE BACK GLASS UNIT AND STILL NO RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY REDUCED TO 15 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. MA 10/25/15 *CN

F-150 ECOBOOST 3.5 L SHIFTING TO DRIVE FROM PARK, BRAKES BECOME STIFF AND WILL NOT STOP VEHICLE AT IDLE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, ENGINE VACUUM RETURNS BRAKE ASSIST. APPEARS TO BE A FAILURE WITH THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. THIS ONLY OCCURS AT STARTUP.

WHEN STARTING THE TRUCK AND BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE, I HAD NO POWER ASSIST BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO PRESS HARDER ON THE BRAKES, HOWEVER I DID COME CLOSE TO HITTING MY HOUSE AND THE ABS WAS ACTIVATED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME WAS TAKEN CARE OF UNDER WARRANTY AROUND 26000 MILES. I WAS INFORMED THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUTSIDE OF BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY COVERAGE, AND IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I HAD THIS PART REPLACED LAST, IT WOULD BE AROUND $600 FOR PARTS AND LABOR OUT OF POCKET (FOR SOMETHING THAT HAS FAILED TWICE IN ABOUT 51000 MILES).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN, THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUMPED AND THE VEHICLE SLID INTO THE INTERSECTION. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS. ON THE THIRD OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN DEPRESSED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUMPED AS THE CONTACT SLID INTO AN INTERSECTION. THE CONTACT CLIPPED THE REAR OF A JEEP THAT WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, CAUSING THE JEEP TO FLIP OVER TWICE BEFORE LANDING UPRIGHT. THE CONTACT AND THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION AND WERE TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A BODY SHOP, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE POWERED OFF, THEY WOULD INDEPENDENTLY SWIPE ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD APPROXIMATELY EVERY TEN SECONDS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUSE HAD TO BE REMOVED SO THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD DISENGAGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

NO BRAKES WHEN THE VEHICLE FIRST STARTS UP. START VEHICLE, SHIFT INTO GEAR, PEDAL DOES NOT ENGAGE UNLESS IT IS STOMPED ON AND EVEN THEN ITS DIFFICULT TO STOP VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TO DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED. FIRST TIME DEALER REPLACED FRONT BRAKE PADS WITH A MODIFIED PAD AND RECALIBRATED THE ABS MODULE. SECOND TIME THEY REPLACED BRAKE VACUUM PUMP AND VACUUM LINE. THIRD TIME DEALER REPLACED VACUUM LINE. ALL OF THESE FAILED TO SOLVE PROBLEM, DEALER CONTACTED FORD TECH LINE AND FORD ENGINEERS TOLD TTHE DEALER THAT IT WAS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE TRUCK AND COULD NOT BE FIXED WE CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY OPENED A CASE. WE RECIEVED A CALLBACK FROM A FORD REGIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER AND WAS TOLD IF THIS CONCERNED US THAT WE SHOULD JUST SELL THE VEHICLE AND BUY A NEW FORD SINCE WE HAVE THE Z PLAN. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT ALERT YOU TO THIS HAPPENING! I CAN NOT LONGER EVEN DRIVE THE TRUCK I BOUGHT BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH IT TAKES TO STOMP THE PEDAL DOWN WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IM SO CONCERNED THAT THIS TRUCK COULD HURT SOMEONE. IM A 58 YEAR OLD WOMEN AND FORD DOES NOT EVEN CARE TO RESOLVE THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

NOTICED A STICKING SPOT IN LONG SWEEPING TURNS AT 35+ MPH THAT WAS MANAGEABLE. TURNED INTO CONCERNIG CLICKING SOUNDS WHILE TURNING WHEEL IN ANY DIRECTION. SCARED TO DRIVE ENDED UP AT DEALERSHIP AND DIAGNOSED AS ANOTHER ISSUE WITH EPAS AND BINDING. REPLACED RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY. EXPECTING TO SEE MORE OF THIS AS THESE SYSTEMS ARE NOW BEING TESTED. HOPEFULLY FORD OWNS UP TO DESIGN/RELIABILITY FLAWS ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

STEERING STARTED FREEZING AT SPEEDS AROUND 20-25 MPH. NOT A HUGE DEAL AT FIRST BECAUSE OF CITY DRIVING.. IT EVENTUALLY GOT WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS..AUGUST 7TH 2015 , THE STEERING FAILED AT 65MPH AND SENT THE TRUCK TOWARDS THE CONCRETE MEDIAN. IT COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC. I ENDED UP TAKING IT TO THE SHOP THAT MONDAY AND HAVING THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING UNIT REPLACED AT 1200.00 PLUS. I AM REALLY UPSET THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS WITH THE DANGER IT CAN CAUSE!

WHILE TAKING MY SON TO SCHOOL, WE WERE STARTLED BY A VERY LOUD NOISE LIKE A GUNSHOT OR GOLF BALL HITTING WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE ROOF OF THE CAR. THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. WE STOPPED AND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, NO DEBRIS AROUND THE VEHICLE WAS FOUND AND NO HOLES IN THE WINDOW THAT CAUSED OUR BACK REAR WINDOW TO SHATTER. REAR DEFROST WAS IN USE AT THE TIME. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING ON THE WEB FOR THIS VEHICLE

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT CAME ON .LOST POWER STEERING ALMOST GOT IN A ACCIDENT. ALMOST HIT A SEMI ..TOOK IN TO SHOP AND THEY SAID,FAULTY GEAR BOX...SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED.YOU ARE RECALLING 2015 ON THIS SAME ISSUE..FORD NEED TO STEP UP AND FIX THIS PROBLEM ON ALL ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING I.AM GOING TO SEEK A LAWYER ON THIS PROBLEM..THEY SAY IT GOING TO COST ME 2500.00.....I DON'T HAVE THIS AMOUNT TO FIT THIS

WE DROVE THE VEHICLE 6 HOURS WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON.... PARKED IT - STARTED IT AGAIN ABOUT 2 HOURS LATER. THE VEHICLE REVVED VERY HIGH, BARELY CHUGGED AS WE DROVE AND THEN THE YELLOW "WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON - INDICATING TRANSMISSION ISSUES AS WELL AS A "LIMP HOME" MODE. WE WERE UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT THAT POINT AND HAD TO KEEP IT PARKED.... AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH - WE DISCOVERED THAT CONDENSATION HAD GOTTEN INTO SOME SORT OF CONDENSER AND CAUSED THE ECO-BOOST ENGINE TO MISFIRE AND ESSENTIALLY MALFUNCTION.

WHEN THE TURBO BOOST IS 11PSI MISFIRING BEGINS - NO AFTER MARKET ENGINE PROGRAMMING. IF TURBO DEMAND IS NOT REDUCED, OR IS INCREASED THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE DISENGAGED - 'LIMP MODE.' ON THE DATE CITED, THIS HAPPENED NO LESS THAT 3 TIMES. LOCAL HUMIDITY WAS 50-70%, AS I RECALL, AND THERE WAS NO RAIN. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS MULTIPLE TIMES WITH LOCAL HUMIDITY NOTED AT 50 %. MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT THE MISFIRING WILL OCCUR ANYTIME TURBO PSI EXCEEDS 11, WHETHER TOWING OR NOT, THOUGH TOWING WILL BE MORE APT TO ENCOUNTER 11PSI. MY TRAILER IS WITHIN ALL TOW LOAD LIMITS FOR MY TRUCK, AXLES AND TONGUE, PER FORD'S RV & TRAILER TOWING GUIDE. MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH THE TRUCK GOING LIMP WAS JUNE OF 2014. I PULLED THE TRUCK TO THE SHOULDER NEXT TO A GUARD RAIL AND CALLED FOR TOWING. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER SAID THAT THERE HAD BEEN A #3 CYLINDER MISFIRE AND A MOMENTARY HEAD OVER-TEMP WAS - WHICH TRIGGERED LIMP MODE. I HAVE REPORTED THE MISFIRING TO MY DEALER, AND WITH FORD'S CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE DEALER SAYS FORD HAS NOTHING LISTED FOR MY TRUCK OR THE ISSUE. I TOLD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MY DEALER THAT THERE IS PLENTY OF INTERNET TRAFFIC ON THIS ISSUE. ASIDE FROM THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN IMPLEMENTED TO PUT A LARGER AIR SHIELD ON THE INTERCOOLER (CAC), DONE TO MY TRUCK IN 2014 AS A RESULT OF MY EXPERIENCE, THE ISSUE STILL EXISTS. IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT FORD HAS NOT ENGINEERED A WATER SEPARATOR TO THEN DRAIN OFF DEVELOPED WATER FROM THE CONDENSATION PROC

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND FELT THE BRAKE PEDAL GET SOFT LIKE I HAD NO POWER BOOSTER. THE TRUCK WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP. I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKE A FEW TIMES BEFORE THE PEDAL STIUFFENED UP A BIT. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERYDAY SINCE, BUT ONLY IN REVERSE AND ONLY IF I GO IN REVERSE 1ST. THE PEDAL SEEMS A LITTLE SOFTER THAN NORMAL GOING FORWARD BUT NOT NEAR AS BAD AS IN REVERSE. I REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES ON 7/25/2015 (ROTORS AND PADS- HIGH END REPLACEMENTS) AND THAT DID NOT HELP THE PROBLEM. I JUST REPLACED THE REAR BRAKES ON 8/15/2015 (ROTORS AND PADS- AGAIN BETTER THAN OEM) AND I CAN STILL TELL THERE IS SOMETHING NOT RIGHT WHEN I BACK UP AS A FIRST ACTION. THE PEDAL STILL NEEDS TO BE PUMPED A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE IT FEELS BETTER.

DRIVING AT 65 WENT TO ACCELERATE ON HIGHWAY FELT LOSS OF POWER FOLLOWED BY A SHUDDER THEN FLASHING ENGINE LIGHT. IT IS A ECOBOOST

MY 2011 FORD F-150 ECOBOOST 3.5 WAS IDLING AT A RED LIGHT THEN SUDDENLY BEGAN A VERY ROUGH IDLE. THIS WENT ON FOR ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES ( ON AND OFF) THEN CLEARED UP . WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM LOOK AT IT . THEY DID A SERVICE ORDER AND CAME UP WITH NOTHING WRONG. WE TOOK THE TRUCK HOME AND THE PROBLEM REMAINED. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN BACK 4 OR 5 MORE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE DEALERSHIP COULD NEVER FIND A PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ATTEMPTING TO PASS SLOWER MOVING CARS, THE TRUCK HESITATED AND SPUTTERED WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. A MONTH AGO THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A NOISE AFTER A COLD START AND THEN LATELY A LOUDER NOISE FROM TIME TO TIME IN THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AREA OF THE VALVE COVER. THEN THE TRUCK JUST STOPPED ON ME WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY . I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND NOW WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A NEW ENGINE? WHAT THE ????? IT HAS 50K AND THE OIL WAS CHANGED REGULARLY, BUT THE DEALER IS SAYING THERE IS SLUDGE IN THE OIL WHICH WAS CHANGED LESS THAN 2000 MILES AGO. THE TIMING CHAIN IS STRETCHED, THE INTAKE CAM VTC IS BROKEN AND BASED ON ALL OF THE OTHER SIMILAR POST I'VE BEEN READING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE THEY HAVE REVEALED THAT THE ROD AND CAM BEARINGS ARE ALSO MORE THAN LIKELY PREMATURELY WORN, REQUIRING A NEW ENGINE TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE.

AS I START MY 2011 FORD F150 3.5 ECOBOOST AFTER IT HAS SAT FOR SOME TIME, SUCH AS OVERNIGHT, I HAVE NO POWER BRAKES FOR 30 TO 45 SECONDS, THE PEDAL BECOMES STIFF AND THE TRUCK KEEPS MOVING EVEN UNDER HEAVY BREAKING. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I OFTEN PARK ON AN INCLINE OR ON A STEEP GRADE. I HAVE ALSO LOST MY POWER BRAKES WHEN I WAS PULLING A TRAILER AND HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE MANEUVERS AND USE THE TRANSMISSION TO SLOW ME DOWN UNTIL MY BRAKES CAME BACK. AT NO TIME DID I GET A WARNING THAT MY BRAKES WERE FAILING OR ANY KIND OF CODE TO CHECK BRAKES I TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP HAD GONE OUT. AND THEY SAID FOR 600.00 THEY WOULD REPLACE THE PUMP. I DECIDED AGAINST IT AND HE TOLD ME IT WOULD BE FINE TO DRIVE IT LIKE THAT. THIS SEEMS SO DANGEROUS AND FORD IS UNCONCERNED ABOUT POSSIBLE BRAKE FAILURE AND AN ACCIDENT. I DON'T LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE SHE WOULD KNOW WHAT TO DO IF IT HAPPENS WHILE SHE IS DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

THE BRAKES ON OUR TRUCK HAVE STARTED TO FAIL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST STARTED. IT USED TO BE LESS FREQUENT AND ONLY AFTER SITTING OVER NIGHT BUT HAS INCREASED IN OCCURRENCE AND IS NOW OCCURRING EACH TIME YOU START THE VEHICLE. IF YOU PUT THE TRUCK IN DRIVE, THERE IS A MUSHY BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES KICK IN. IN REVERSE, THE PEDAL IS MUSHY AND THERE ARE NO BRAKES. ONCE THE TRUCK HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR A FEW MINUTES AND YOU HAVE PUMPED THE BRAKE, THE BRAKES SEEM TO WORK OKAY. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS REPLACED THE VACUUM BOOSTER BUT THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND MORE FREQUENTLY, IT IS WORRIES ONE THAT IT MAY HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING. WE TRAILER A LOT AND WE LIVE ON A VERY STEEP GRADED ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN AND A WARNING DISPLAYED ON THE PANEL THAT READ 'SERVICE ADVANCE TRAP". THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS ACTIVATED AND THERE WAS LOSS OF ACCELERATION AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST STEERING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

MY 2011 FORD F150, WITH LESS THAN 23500 MILES, SUDDENLY DEVELOPED PROBLEMS WITH ITS ELECTRONIC STEERING SYSTEM CONSISTING OF (A) VERY LOOSE STEERING, (B) A "SERVICE ADVANCTRAC" WARNING MESSAGE, (C) THE CONTROL FOR THE LEFT & RIGHT BLINKERS NO LONGER WORKING. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A DIRT AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED WHEN THE PROBLEM STRUCK WITHOUT WARNING, AND THEN GOT ONTO A PAVED ROAD WHERE THE STEERING CONTINUED TO FEEL VERY 'SLOPPY' AND SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE TRUCK. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM WITH THE EPAS (ELECTRONIC) STEERING SYSTEM WHICH WAS FIRST INTRODUCED ON THE 2011 F150 MODEL. THEY FIRST QUOTED $1300 TO REPAIR IT SINCE I AM OUT OF THE 3/36 WARRANTY, BUT LATER CAME DOWN TO $480 WHEN I COMPLAINED ABOUT IT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT IT WAS RIDICULOUS FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN ON A TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 25K MILES (MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES). ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, FORD COVERED THE COST OF THE EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT PART. THERE ARE MANY ONLINE COMPLAINTS (WEBSITES & NHTSA) REGARDING PROBLEMS WITH THE FORD EPAS STEERING SYSTEM. ITS SUDDEN AND UNEXPLAINABLE FAILURE, ESPECIALLY ON TRUCKS WITH LOW MILEAGE, MAKES THIS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN IN MY OPINION.

THE ENGINE LOST POWER, THE AIRCONDITIONING SHUT OFF. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE TRUCK SHUDDERED HARD. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS BROUGHT TO A STOP, IT WAS LIKE EVERYTHING RESET. THE ENGINE WOULD ACCELERATE CORRECTLY, THE AIR CONDITIONING CAME BACK ON, AND THERE WAS NO SHUDDER.. THE FORD HOUSE SAID THERE WERE NO CODES STORED TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THEY RECOMMENDED A $1100.00 TUNEUP.

AT ROUGHLY 32000 MILES, IN OCTOBER OF 2014 I EXPERIENCED A FAILURE OF THE ELECTRIC BRAKE VACUUM ASSIST. THE SYMPTOMS WERE THAT THE PUMP CONSTANTLY RAN AND COULD AUDIBLY BE HEARD WHERE IT WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY CONSTANTLY RUNNING. AS SOON AS I NOTICED A CHANGE I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO JOHNSON FORD IN PITTSFIELD MA.. THE PUMP WAS REPLACED IN OCTOBER OF 2014 UNDER WARRANTY. NO RECALL OR CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED FOR THIS CONDITION BUT NUMEROUS REPORTS BY FORD OWNERS HAVE BEEN MADE REGARDING THE SAME CONDITION. I BELIEVED THE AUDIBLE NOISE I WAS HEARING WAS A STEERING COMPONENT BECAUSE I WAS SIMULTANEOUSLY HAVING AN ISSUE WITH "NOTCHY" STEERING. WHILE NEGOTIATING A LONG, GRADUAL TURN MY STEERING WOULD LOCK WHILE TURNING LEFT. THE WHEEL WOULD LOCK WHEN THE TOP OF THE STEERING WHEEL WAS IN THE AREA OF THE 10 O'CLOCK POSITION. NO CRASH OCCURRED BUT THE CONDITION WAS VERY UNSAFE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE DRIVEN ERRATICALLY TO REMEDY THE CONDITION. A HARD YANK ON THE WHEEL WAS NECESSARY TO FORCIBLY INCREASE STEERING INPUT. THE STEERING COMPONENTS WERE ALSO REPLACED IN OCTOBER OF 2014 BY JOHNSON FORD UNDER WARRANTY. NO RECALL OR CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED FOR THIS CONDITION BUT NUMEROUS REPORTS HAVE BEEN MADE REGARDING THE SAME CONDITION. THE ELECTRIC VACUUM ASSIST REPLACED IN OCTOBER OF 2014, NINE MONTHS AGO WAS THE SAME PART WITH NO UPDATES AS THE ONE THAT FAILED. I AGAIN HEAR THE VACUUM ASSIST MOTOR RUNNING ALMOST CONSTANT AS IT WAS WHEN REPLACED. THE TRUCK IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANT

AT TIMES, I EXPERIENCE A SOFT BRAKE PEDAL THAT WILL TRAVEL ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. AND THEN AT TIMES I WILL HAVE A HARDER PEDAL WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF THE PEDAL TRAVELING TO THE FLOOR. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKE FLUID FLUSHED AND THIS STILL HAPPENS ON OCCASION. I HAVE GONE THROUGH 3 SETS OF BRAKE PADS ON THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK IN 60,000 MILES. I CAN HEAR THE SECONDARY PUMP RUN FOR A LONGER DURATION AT TIMES DURING START UP AND IF I PUMP THE BRAKES WHILE STOPPED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. WHEN I EXPERIENCE A SOFT PEDAL IT TRAVELS MUCH FURTHER BEFORE I WOULD COME TO A STOP COMPARED TO THE HARDER PEDAL FEEL. ALSO, AT TIMES IT FEELS AS IF THE HARDER PEDAL NEEDS MORE FORCE TO EXPERIENCE ANY "NORMAL" BRAKING POWER. AFTER EXPERIENCING THIS SITUATION, THEN SOME TIME LATER I WOULD EXPERIENCE A NORMAL BRAKE PEDAL. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED AT THE DEALER FOR THIS SITUATION FOR ABNORMAL BRAKE WEAR AND PEDAL FEEL, BUT STILL HAVE HAD NO FIX FOR THE ISSUE. I JUST REPLACED A FRONT BRAKE CALIPER AND I AM CURRENTLY WAITING TO SEE IF THIS RESOLVES THE ISSUE.

THE ENGINE STALLED (SEVERER LOSS OF POWER) AS I TRIED TO OVERTAKE/PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEOUS TIMES & TYPICALLY OCCURS DURING HUMID/RAINING WEATHER. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY HAVE YET TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT FORD IS VERY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS ISSUED SEVERAL TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS BUT, THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. FORD SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE & FORCED TO RECALL AND REPAIR THESE TRUCKS BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.

IN MAY 2015 MY 2011 FORD F150 3.5L ECOBOOST BEGAN MAKING A BUZZING NOISE IN THE FRONT LEFT FENDER WELL UNDER THE HOOD. FROM THAT TIME FORWARD THE TRUCK MAKES THE NOISE UPON START-UP. ONCE THE VEHICLE RUNS FOR A WHILE THE NOISE SEEMS TO FADE AWAY BUT RETURNS UPON RESTART. A TECHNICIAN TRIED TO DIAGNOSE THE NOISE AT A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE NOISE HAS GOTTEN WORSE WHICH PROMPTED ME TO TAKE THE TRUCK BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO DIAGNOSE AGAIN. THIS TIME I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE MATTER AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS SOME CONCERN ABOUT THE VACUUM PUMP IN SOME OF THESE MODEL TRUCKS. UPON PICKING UP MY TRUCK THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT HE THOUGHT IT WAS THE VACUUM PUMP AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE PART IS ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH FORD AT THIS TIME. I MADE AND APPOINTMENT WITH THE FORD DEALERSHIP WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THE NOISE. HE WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM AND SAID THAT 9/10 TIMES THE VACUUM PUMP IS THE PROBLEM. HE EXPLAINED THAT FORD HAD SWITCHED VENDORS FOR THE PART AND REDESIGNED THE PUMP IN NEWER MODELS AND ISSUED A (TSB) REGARDING THE PUMP. SINCE MY TRUCK WAS JUST OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD HE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, WHICH WAS QUOTED AT MORE THAN $900. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER UNTIL MID AUGUST 2015 AND THAT I SHOULD SCHEDULE TO HAVE THE REPAIR COMPLETED THEN. I ASKED IF THERE WAS A SAFETY HAZARD ASSOCIATED WITH CONTINUED DRIVING AND

AROUND JUNE OF 2014, I NOTED GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT WHEELS. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR FACILITY AND HAD IT INSPECTED. THE FRONT OUTER BRAKE PADS ON BOTH WHEELS SHOWED FAIRLY NORMAL WEAR WITH ABOUT 3/8"-1/2" OF PAD REMAINING ON EACH PAD. THE INBOARD PAD ON BOTH WHEELS WERE WORN DOWN TO BARE METAL AND ALMOST SEIZED INTO THE INBOARD SIDE OF BOTH ROTORS. I HAD THE FACILITY REPLACE BOTH FRONT ROTORS AND PADS, BUT THE SERVICE TECH HAD TO CLEAN AND LUBE BOTH CALIPERS AS NEITHER WAS FREELY SLIDING. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL WEAR, BUT ALSO TOLD THE CALIPER PINS HAVE TO BE LUBRICATED ON A REGULAR BASIS TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. I'VE CHECKED THE FORD MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND NOWHERE DO THEY RECOMMEND HAVING TO LUBRICATE THE CALIPER PINS ON A REGULAR SCHEDULE. MY CONCERN IS THIS WILL OCCUR AGAIN AS I HAVE NOTED A SERVICE BULLETIN ON YOUR WEBSITE REGARDING BINDING CALIPERS, ALTHOUGH THE SELLING DEALER PASSES THIS OFF AS A NON-ISSUE FOR THE BRAKES AND PART OF NORMAL WEAR. I'VE TALKED TO FORD CUSTOMER SUPPORT, BUT THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROBLEM.

WHEN ACCELERATING AND APPROACHING FREEWAY SPEED, ENGINE STUMBLED, PREVENTING ACCELERATION. I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND PROBLEM DIDN'T OCCUR AGAIN. I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY STATED THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE DID NOT REGISTER A CODE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I HAVE SINCE HAD THIS HAPPEN AGAIN ON JULY 17 & 18, 2015, BUT THIS TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT DID COME ON, SO I'M ASSUMING IT DID REGISTER A CODE. ON JULY 17, IT WAS A CLEAR DRY DAY, THE FOLLOWING DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT IT WAS RAINING ALL DAY. ONCE ON THE FREEWAY, WHENEVER I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR, EVEN WHEN AT FREEWAY SPEED, THE ENGINE WOULD STUMBLE AND BARELY ACCELERATE. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND SCHEDULED AN INSPECTION FOR JULY 29, 2015. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 47000 MILES. I'VE TALKED TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND I AM BEING TOLD THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY REPAIR, BUT I AM SEEING A NUMBER OF SERVICE BULLETINS BEING ISSUED DESCRIBING THIS EXACT PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT IN DESIGN AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY.

POOR BRAKING IN THE MORNING AT 29,212 MILES. FORD REPLACED BRAKE VACUUM PUMP ASSEMBLY AT NO CHARGE (UNDER WARRANTY). SAME PROBLEM AT 50,198 MILES. NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND I WAS CHARGED $319.66 FOR THE SAME PART. I FEEL THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS ASSEMBLY AND IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND THEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND EMITTING FROM THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

F-150 WITH ECOBOOST 3.5L GDTI ENGINE. ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP THAT SUPPORTS THE BRAKE BOOSTER STOPPED FUNCTIONING. BRAKE PEDAL FEEL WAS HARD AND VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP AT TIMES. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OR INDICATORS OF THE MALFUNCTION, OTHER THAN THE HARD PEDAL FEEL WHICH CAME ON SLOWLY AND THEREFORE DIFFICULT TO NOTICE UNTIL VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP.

THE BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT DEPRESS AS IT SHOULD. INSTEAD IT WAS IMPOSSIBLY HARD AND HAD NO BRAKING FORCE AT ALL. THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THE PROBLEM AND DIAGNOSED A FAILING VACUUM PUMP. THERE IS NO INDICATOR LIGHT TO NOTIFY THE VEHICLE OCCUPANT OF A PROBLEM AND THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD JUST WAITING FOR INJURY/DEATH TO OCCUR.

I WAS MAKING A SERIES OF TURNS IN A PARKING LOT LOOKING FOR A BUILDING ON A COLLEGE CAMPUS AND THEN WITHOUT WARNING I LOST POWER STEERING. A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID THAT THERE IS A BRAKING ASSIST FAULT. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MUSCLE MY TRUCK INTO A PARKING SPACE AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF. WHEN I TURNED THE TRUCK BACK ON MY POWER STEERING WAS BACK. IT WENT ON FOR TWO DAYS WITHOUT HAPPENING AGAIN, UNTIL TODAY (7-24-15) IT OCCURRED TWICE IN ONE DAY. THE STEERING WHEEL IS FEELING FUNNY ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING LEFT. IT FEELS A LITTLE LOSE WHEN TURNING LEFT. IT FEELS LIKE IT IS SLIPPING WHEN TURNING. AGAIN ONCE THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE POWER STEERING RETURNED.

BRAKES FAIL AFTER START UP FOR A MINUTE OF TWO...(VACUMM PUMP FAILURE?)

STARTED HEARING A WINING PUMP NOISE FROM BEHIND THE DRIVER-SIDE HEADLIGHT. DAYS LATER I WAS PARKED JUST OFF THE ROAD ON A SLOPE, STARTED THE TRUCK AND IT ROLLED DOWN THE SLOPE RIGHT INTO THE STREET. THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT SOFT AND NON-RESPONSIVE. THERE WAS ALSO A CHATTERING NOISE MADE. I PUMPED THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES AND IT WORKED NORMALLY AGAIN. I STOPPED AND PULLED FORWARD TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. THE SAME SEQUENCE OF MALFUNCTIONS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT. I HAVE ORDERED A NEW VACUUM PUMP TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

MY BRAKES MADE A GROWLING SOUND FROM THE FRONT LEFT SIDE BEHIND THE HEADLIGHT. AS TIME WENT ON IT GOT LOUDER AND THE BRAKES WERE HARDER TO APPLY IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE VACUUM PUMP. THEY CHARGED ME $597.40 FOR THIS REPAIR THAT I FEEL SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY FORD. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH NUMEROUS OTHER TRUCKS. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHEN THE GEAR WAS SHIFTED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO DRIVE IN REVERSE AND THE REAR LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V190000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING, POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 250,800.

WHILE MAKING A SHARP LEFT TURN I HEARD A LOUD SQUEAKING SOUND, AND THEN GOT THE ADVANCE TRAC FAULT AND IT RESET IT SELF AND A FEW DAYS LATER GOT THE SAME SOUND AND FAULT. ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER I HEARD THE SAME NOISE AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED INTERMITTENTLY AND I WASN'T ABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT DIRECTION. HAD VEHICLE TAKEN TO LOCAL FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD BY SERVICE TECH THAT THE STEERING GEAR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, COST $1,750. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED BY FORD. THIS CAN PUT A DRIVER IN AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN INJURY OR POSSIBLE DEATH UPON FAILURE.

VEHICLE UPON START HAS HAD HARD OR NO BRAKES. VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO STOP OR CONTROL AT LOW SPEEDS UPON STARTING VEHICLE. BEEN TOLD BY DEALER IT IS FAULTY VACUUM ASSIST PUMP. PARTS NOT AVAILABLE AND TOLD NO RECALL/FIX IS AVAILABLE TO CONSUMER WITHOUT PAYING 750+ DOLLARS. HAPPENS ROUTINELY. OCCURS ALMOST DAILY. BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST ONE YEAR. WORRIED ABOUT PULLING OUT OF MY GARAGE AND HAVE RESORTED TO PARKING ON STREET TO ENSURE CONTROL OF VEHICLE UPON STARTING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK HOME FROM WORK (NOT EXPERIENCING ANY ISSUES). I BEGAN TO CROSS THE SHIP CHANNEL BRIDGE IN HOUSTON, TX WHEN MY LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER I CRESTED THE TOP OF THE BRIDGE I TESTED THE BRAKES TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE WORKING PROPERLY (AND THEY WERE). I DECIDED TO CONTINUE DRIVING TO THE CLOSEST AUTO PARTS STORE TO SEE WHY THE LIGHT CAME ON AN TO TOP OFF THE FLUID. WHEN I WENT TO EXIT THE FREEWAY (ABOUT 3 MILES FROM WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON) I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FIREWALL (I HAD LOST ALL BREAKING POWER). I IMMEDIATELY PRESSED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND DOWNSHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION TO HELP ME GET THE TRUCK SLOWED DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT INCIDENT. I THEN HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY DETERMINED THEN CAUSE OF THE BRAKE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A RUPTURE OF THE SEAL IN THE MASTER CYLINDER. I HAD THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED ($700) AND THEY ENSURED ME THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN A VAN STOPPED. I HIT THE BRAKES, BUT THERE WERE NO BRAKES AT ALL. THEN I HIT THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND THE BRAKES ACTIVATED BUT IT CONCLUDED WITH A MAJOR ACCIDENT OCCURRING . THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I LOST BRAKES. I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE SYSTEM THREE TIMES SINCE THIS ISSUE AND I SHOW NO REPLACING OF VACUUM TANK AND THE BRAKES ARE ALWAYS BAD AND NEEDING TO BE FIXED THREE TIMES IN FOUR YEARS THAT'S A BRAKE JOB A YEAR. THE DATE DONE WORK HERE BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED 2/12, 2013 AND 2014.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE SHIFTING FROM REVERSE, THE TRANSMISSION JERKED AND THE REVERSE TAIL LIGHT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. IN ADDITION, THE REVERSE LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V190000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING, POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000. UPDATED 09/21/15*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST. UPDATED 3/29/2016*JS UPDATED 11/07/2017*CN
