2012 Ford F-150 complaints

2012 ECOBOAST ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY SHUTS DOWN WHEN I BEGIN TO ACCELLERATE M I BEGIN TO ACCELLERATE INTO MY LANE OR ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC --- OR NO TRAFFIC. . MY SPEED RAPIDLY DECREASES DURING THIS 2 TO 5 SECOND "DELAY" AND HAS RESULTED IN MANY NEAR MISSES WHEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS IS WHEN STUCK IN HEAVY STOP & GO TRAFFIC, WHEN I MUST QUICKLY ADJUST BETWEEN THE GAS AND BRAKE TO PREVENT A CRASH. IN THIS HEAVY TRAFFIC SCENERIO, THE ENGINE WILL BEGIN TO " BACKFIRE" AND BRINGS ME TO A STOP IN THIS TRAFFIC --- AND THEN SUDDENLY "CATCHES ON" AND BRINGS ME TO A PANIC BRAKING OPTION. I'VE TAKEN THIS ISSUE TO MY FORD DEALERS OVER THE PAST 7 MONTHS, AND THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION --- ALTHOUGH ALL ARE AWARE OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS SUCH AS MINE --- THEY EVEN HAVE A NAME FOR IT --- "LIMB MODE AND OR TURBO LAG." NHTSA HAS MANY SIMILAR SCENERIOS IN ITS CURRETN "COMPLAINT" LOG BUT NO INFO REGARDING THE STATUS OF THE COMPLAINTS. THIS CONDITION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD RESULT IN INJURIES OR DEATHS.

VEHICLE IS A FORD F150 2012 ECOBOOST V6 3.5L. VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN IN HIGH HUMIDITY AND FOG WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON FOR A TIME PERIOD OF AROUND 4 HOURS WITHOUT SPOOLING THE TURBO CHARGERS. UPON TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED TO ACCELERATE. VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, AND BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AT CURRENT SPEED BUT WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN GAS WAS PRESSED TO PICK UP SPEED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID ILLUMINATE. THIS ISSUE WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE ISSUE OF CONDENSATION/WATER IN THE CHARGE AIR COOLER CAUSING THE CYLINDERS TO MISFIRE AND VEHICLE GOING INTO LIMP MODE. THERE WAS NO ISSUE WHEN ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS WERE OPTIMAL. THIS HAPPENED AFTER THE FORD DEALERSHIP MADE THE RECOMMENDED FORD BULLETIN REPAIRS. THIS ISSUE HAS THE POTENTIAL OF CAUSING A FATALITY.

VEHICLE IS A 2012 FORD F150 3.5L V6 ECOBOOST. VEHICLE HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS (30 GAL TANK). VEHICLE GAS GAUGE BEGAN TO DROP QUICKLY. COMPARED TO TRIP COUNTER GALLONS USED, VEHICLE SHOWED EMPTY TAG AFTER ONLY USING 9.2 GALLONS. UPON FILLING GAS AND PUMP ENTERING FILL HOLE, PRESSURE FROM THE TANK WAS RELEASED MORE SO THAN ANY OTHER TIME. GAS GAUGE REPEATED SAME ISSUE UPON ADDING THE 9.2 GALLONS TO FILL THE TANK AGAIN. GAUGE ONCE AGAIN SHOWED EMPTY WHEN APPROX 10 GALLONS WERE USED.

VEHICLE IS A FORD F150 2012 ECOBOOST V6 3.5L. VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN IN RAIN WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON FOR A TIME PERIOD OF AROUND 3 HOURS WITHOUT SPOOLING THE TURBO CHARGERS. UPON TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED TO ACCELERATE. VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, AND BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. THIS ACTION NEARLY CAUSED A HEAD ON COLLISION. VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AT CURRENT SPEED BUT WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN GAS WAS PRESSED TO PICK UP SPEED. THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE SAME TRIP CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THIS ISSUE WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE ISSUE OF CONDENSATION/WATER IN THE CHARGE AIR COOLER CAUSING THE CYLINDERS TO MISFIRE AND VEHICLE GOING INTO LIMP MODE. THERE WAS NO ISSUE WHEN ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS WERE OPTIMAL. AGAIN, THIS ISSUE NEARLY CAUSED A HEAD ON COLLISION AS I TRIED TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE IN AN AREA WHICH ALLOWED PASSING IN MY LANE. FORD RE-FLASHED THE THE ECU AND ADDED A DEFLECTOR SHIELD TO THE TOP OF THE CHARGE AIR COOLER AND IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND THEN ACCELERATED UNEXPECTEDLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON OVER TEN OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

JULY 6 LOST POWER TO TRUCK ENGINE AT 60 MPH WHEN GOING TO PASS IN HARD ACCELERATION SITUATION. TRUCK ENGINE SHUTTERED FOR OVER 3 MINS UNTIL I COULD GET IT STABILIZED AROUND 2000 RPMS IN A LOWER GEAR/SPEED. THIS WAS THE FIRST OF TWO SIMILAR SITUATION ON THE SAME DAY WITH THE TRUCK AND THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY ANY ACCELERATION OVER 3500 RPMS CAUSED A LOSS OF POWER. WE LIMPED THE VEHICLE HOME THAT DAY. NEXT DAY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF UNTIL WE COULD GET TRUCK INTO OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR SERVICE ON 7-13. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RESEARCHED VIA INFO ON THIS SITE TO NO CONCLUSION. I CAN SAY IF YOU DROVE THIS VEHICLE AND SIMULATED THIS ISSUE YOU WOULD SEE THE MAJOR ISSUE THIS CAUSES AND POTENTIAL RISK OF ACCIDENT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH ACCELERATION. SPECIFICALLY HEAVY TRAFFIC SITUATIONS. THE ISSUE CAUSED SPARK PLUG DAMAGE, CATALYTIC CONVERTER DAMAGE AND THE DEALER PERFORMED THE TSB (4TH ISSUED BY FORD) TO ATTEMPT TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, CAUSES SAFETY ISSUES AND SHOULD BE RECALLED TO PERMANENTLY FIX NOT TRY TO PATCH WITH FOUR DIFFERENT TSB. FIX THIS CORRECTLY BEFORE ACCIDENTS OCCUR THAT CAUSE DEATHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WITH THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER ENGAGED, THE DEFROST WARNING INDICATOR WAS INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TURNED THE DEFROSTER OFF AND BACK ON, AND THE DEFROST WARNING INDICATOR WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED AND THE WIRING INSIDE THE WINDOW WAS MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE DEFROST WIRING SHORTED OUT WHICH CAUSED THE WINDOW TO SHATTER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. UPDATED 09/10/15*LJ

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150 EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES, SIZE P275/65R/18 (NA). WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,900.

DRIVING AT 70 MPH AND TRIED TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL TO TAKE VEHICLE OFF CRUISE CONTROL. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SO FIRM THAT I COULDN'T PUSH IT, ALMOST LIKE THE BRAKES WERE FROZEN. VERY SCARY SITUATION ON SNOWY ROADS AND 70 MPH. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN IT WAS COLD. SINCE THEN THE BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE. NOW WHEN I START THE VEHICLE, I HAVE TO WAIT SEVERAL SECONDS FOR VACUUM TO BUILD UP BEFORE THE PEDAL SOFTENS UP. THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP BEHIND THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLAMP HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND PROBLEM STILL EXIST.

AFTER STARTING THE TRUCK THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD LIKE THERE WAS NO POWER ASSIST. IT ONLY HAPPENED PERIODICALLY AND I ASSUMED MY BRAKES WERE GETTING OLD. BRAKES WERE REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED AT TIMES. IT IS NOW HAPPENING MORE OFTEN. JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THE ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP INVESTIGATION AND IT SOUNDS LIKE EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING. HAVE NOT HAD IT CHECKED OUT PROFESSIONALLY. I LOOKED AT IT AND IT APPEARS THERE IS CORROSION HAPPENING INSIDE THE PLASTIC BODY. DATES AND MILEAGE NOTED APPROXIMATE AS I DID NOT DOCUMENT IT.

ENGINE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. ENGINE STARTED SHAKING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT HAD BEEN RAINING AND WAS VERY WET. AFTER PULLING OFF TURNED OF ENGINE FOR APPROX 15 MINUTES. STARTED DRIVING AGAIN AND DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS.

OCCASIONALLY, UPON INITIAL STARTUP OF VEHICLE, THE POWER BRAKES WOULD FAIL TO ENGAGE, RESULTING IN EXTREME FORCE BEING NECESSARY ON BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOWLY BRING VEHICLE TO A STOP OVER SEVERAL FEET. THIS HAS RESULTED IN NEAR - HITS OF OTHER VEHICLES IN THE DRIVEWAY, BASKETBALL POLE, CAMPER, AND HOUSE. FORTUNATELY NO IMPACTS WERE RECORDED, BUT A MAJOR RISK NONETHELESS. THIS PHENOMENON DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING, AND DID NOT HAPPEN 100% OF THE TIME DURING STARTUPS, BUT WHEN IT DID IT HAD THE POTENTIAL TO BE A MAJOR HAZARD.

24,991MI: MISFIRE WHEN ACCELERATING WHILE DRIVING. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. DEALER REPORTED NO PROBLEM FOUND, NO CODES & MADE NO REPAIRS. 29,440MI: MISFIRE WHEN ACCELERATING & GOING UP & DOWN HILLS SPECIFICALLY WHEN IN 4,5, 6 GEAR DURING BOTH FLAT & INCLINED HIGHWAY DRIVING. THIS WAS WHILE PULLING AN 8000LB TRAILER. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. DEALER FOUND MISFIRE IN #1 & 4 AND REPLACED COILS & PLUGS IN #1 & #4 ONLY. TEST DRIVE STILL SHOWED MISFIRE, THEN REPLACED TURBO BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR. I WAS TOLD THAT MOISTURE HAD DAMAGED THE PLUGS & SENSOR. 35,214MI: MISFIRE WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP, DURING NORMAL ACCELERATION AND GOING UP HILLS.NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. DEALER REPLACED THE DRIVERS SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BECAUSE IT WAS WARPED. 37,164MI: MISFIRE WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP, DURING NORMAL ACCELERATION & GOING UP HILLS. I SAW THIS IN ACCELERATION CONDITIONS FROM 10-60MPH WITHOUT TOWING A TRAILER. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. DEALER REPORTED NO PROBLEM FOUND, NO CODES & MADE NO REPAIRS. 38,577MI: REPEATED SEVERE MISFIRES WHILE GOING UP MODERATE INCLINES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON (FIRST TIME THIS EVER HAPPENED) & I HAD A REDUCTION IN POWER, COULD NOT GET OUT OF 3RD GEAR & MY SPEED DROPPED FROM 65MPH TO 50MPH. AFTER REPAIR HAD MODERATE MISFIRES DURING MAJOR INCLINES WHILE TOWING A TRAILER BUT NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. 39,000MI: WHILE TOWING A TRAILER, EXPERIENCED SERIES OF MODERATE TO SEVERE MISFIRES IN WAVES BE OK FOR AN HOUR & THEN GO INTO A SERIES OF MISFIRES FOR 3-10 MINUTES. SOME WERE

NO BRAKING WHILE BACKING OUT OF GARAGE. HEARD ABS MOTOR ENGAGE WHILE PUSHING ON BRAKE PEDAL. TOOK THREE 'PUMPS' ON PEDAL FOR NORMAL BRAKING TO RETURN. TOOK VEHICLE TO FORD DEALER AND THEY REPLACED BRAKE VACUUM PUMP ASSEMBLY UNDER WARRANTY. PROBLEM HAS RETURNED AS OF 06-24-2015.

NOISY ELECTRONIC VACUUM PUMP ISSUE. AT APROX 45,000 MILES I NOTICED A NOISE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT NEAR THE DRIVERS SIDE TIRE. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER. THE FIRST TIME IT WOULD NOT MAKE THE NOISE. THE SECOND TIME IT MADE THE NOISE IT MADE THE NOISE. I WAS ADVISED I NEEDED A NEW VACUUM PUMP. I WAS ALSO ADVISED IT WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY BECAUSE MY TRUCK WAS OVER 3 YEARS OLD AND OVER 36000 MILES. HOWEVER WHILE RESEARCHING THIS MATTER I FIND THERE HAS BEEN AND ISSUE WITH THE VACUUM PUMP ON SEVERAL FORD VEHICLES. I BELIEVE SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND TAKE CARE OF ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. MY COST OF REPAIR IS $724.27

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY SON IN DECEMBER 2012. WE TOOK A TRIP TO ALABAMA ON THE SATURDAY FOLLOWING THE PURCHASE. THE TRUCK HAD PROBLEMS STALLING, MISFIRIING, AND NOT BRAKING IMMEDIATELY. WE HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS APPROXIMATELY 15 TO 20 TIMES. IT IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN TODAY FOR THE MISFIRING/STALLING. THE SERVICE WRITER TOLD MY SON THAT HIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN THE SHOP TWICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WE STILL HAVE ALL THE SERVICE PAPERWORK TO DISPEL THAT REMARK, THIS VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 24,000 MILES ON IT. THE FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRES IN DECEMBER AND HAS STILL NOT BEEN FIXED. IT DOES NOT JUST STALL IN RAINY OR VERY HUMID CONDITIONS AS STATED BY FORD IN THEIR RESPONSE TO THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION. THEY HAVE REPLACED SPARK PLUGS TWICE, UPDATED SOFTWARE, PUT A HEAT SHIELD IN FRONT OF THE INTER-COOLER. NONE OF THESE THINGS HAVE WORKED. THE SHIELD IN FRONT OF THE INTER-COOLER DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF THE INTER-COOLER BY NOT ALLOWING IT TO COOL AS INTENDED. IT RAISES THE TEMPERATURE IN THE INTERCOOLER IN AN ATTEMPT TO PRODUCE LESS CONDENSATION. MY SON BELIEVES THE INTER-COOLER HAS A DESIGN FLAW. HE THINKS THAT THE AIR RETURN FROM THE INTER-COOLER TO THE ENGINE BEING ON THE BOTTOM ALLOWS MORE CONDENSATION TO BE SUCKED BACK INTO THE ENGINE. IF IT WERE ON THE TOP, MORE OF THE CONDENSATION WOULD STAY IN THE BOTTOM AND NOT RETURNED BACK TO THE ENGINE. THERE IS AN AFTER MARKET FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT IT IS EXPENSIVE AND I BELIEVE FORD MOTOR COMPANY

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE TRUCK WILL ONLY MOVE FORWARD WHEN THE PEDAL IS FULLY DEPRESSED. WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING THE TRUCK BARELY MOVES THEN IT WILL CATCH AND LUNGE FORWARD AT BREAK-NECK SPEED. THIS SAME THING HAPPENS AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, WILL BE ACCELERATING NORMALLY WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN THE RPM AND SPEED GAUGES COMPLETELY DROP THE ENGINE LOSSES ALL POWER AND IF THE PEDAL IS CONTINUED TO BE PRESSED THE TRUCK WILL LUNGE FORWARD, AGAIN AT BREAK-NECK SPEED. IN A 10 MILE TRIP IT CAN HAPPEN 3 OR 4 TIMES. TODAY WE HAD A NEW EXPERIENCE WHERE WHEN DECELERATING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE MOTOR BEGAN REVVING TO REDLINE ALL WHILE ONLY THE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED. ON GREEN LIGHT THE ACCELERATION AGAIN WAS LIMITED TO FULL PETAL AND A LIMP TILL BURST MODE. THESE EVENTS ALL SCARE THE FAMILY TO THE POINT OF NOT RIDING IN THE VEHICLE.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK. IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 6:30 AM. I HAD MY REAR DEFROSTER ON AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD ALOUD BANG. I PULLED OVER GOT OUT LOOKED AROUND THE TRUCK TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY DAMAGE. I FOUND NOTHING. I GOT BACK IN THE TRUCK WENT TO BACK OUT AND NOTICE MY BACK RIGHT SIDE WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. IT WAS NOT HIT BY ANYTHING. I CALLED FORD ABOUT IT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ON ANY WARRANTY. THE BACK WINDOW INSTALLED IS AROUND $900.

I PURCHASED THIS 2012 FORD F-150 BRAND NEW!!! I AM A DIE HARD FORD FAN, AND HAVE NEVER BOUGHT SOMETHING NEW, SO AFTER MANY OLD PREOWNED FORD TRUCKS, I BOUGHT A NEW F-150. UNDER BOTH THE 36,000 MILES AND 3 YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, IT WOULD RATTLE, SHAKE, AND TICK A LOT, A WHOLE LOT! IT WOULD ALSO MAKE A LOUD RATTLING NOISE DURING A COLD START, OR BETWEEN 1800-2000 RPM. AFTER DOING MY HOMEWORK, THIS 3.5 LITER ENGINE (ECOBOOST) HAS TIMING CHAIN ISSUES AND THE TIMING CHAIN HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR PRE-MATURE STRETCH. I FOUND 4 OTHER TESTIMONIALS OF THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH THE TIMING CHAIN. IT GETS BETTER, THE OTHER PEOPLE WERE ALSO TOLD THE SAME THING AFTER BRINGING IT TO THEIR FORD DEALER FOR REPAIR. THEY SAID "FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT IT WOULD NOT AFFECT LONG TERM OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE, AND FORD DEEMS IT ACCEPTABLE; NO REPAIR NECESSARY".........WOW!!!!!! AFTER SPENDING ALMOST 40K ON MY FIRST NEW TRUCK. I THEN WENT TO CALL FORD COOPERATE WHERE I CLIMBED UP THE LADDER OF 3 DIFFERENT MANAGERS, EACH OF HIGHER RANKING, AND THE WROTE THE HIGHEST CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFICIAL A LETTER, ONLY TO BE TOLD NO, NOTHING COULD BE DONE.

ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP FAILS AND YOU LOOSE YOUR POWER BRAKES. BRAKE PETAL GETS VERY HARD WITH LITTLE OR NO BRAKING POWER TO STOP. 2012 WAS THE LAST YEAR TO USE ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP TO SUPPLY POWER BRAKES AND THEN WAS REPLACED IN 2013 WITH A BELT DRIVEN VACUUM PUMP. THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE IN THE F-150 FROM 2012 AND PRIOR YEAR MDLS.

2012 F150, 5.0 V8 3 YEARS OFF LOT WHEN JULY 4TH GETS HERE IN 2015. 33000 MILES AND 4 OF THE SPARK PLUGS ARE SHOT, FORD TECH SAID GAPS ARE OFF. FROM FACTORY. O2 SENSOR ALSO SHOT. WORKING ON IT NOW, BETTER BE COVERED UNDER BUMPER TO BUMPER, BECAUSE $1100.00 DOLLARS IS A LOT TO PUT INTO PRACTICALLY A BRAND NEW TRUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE AND JERK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS, BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS FOR THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS EVENTUALLY INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO REPAIR FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

THE ELECTRIC RACK AND PINION QUICK WORKING I WAS NOT ABLE TO STREET MY VEHICLE AT ALL I WAS LUCKY TO BE ON A STRAIGHT AWAY I'D I HAD BEEN IN A CORNER I WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT 75 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE COIL AND THE SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

STUMBLE/MISFIRE INTERMITTENTLY ON ACCELERATION FROM HIGHWAY CRUISING SPEED DURING SLIGHT ACCELERATION IN WARMER WEATHER. HAVE HAD IT TO LOCAL DEALER 2X FOR TSB REPAIRS, WITH NO LUCK. CALLED ANOTHER LOCAL DEALER TO SEE IF THEY HAVE HAD ANY LUCK FIXING THE PROBLEM AND SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY CONSISTENT LUCK IN REPAIRING THE PROBLEM, EITHER...

REAR WINDOW OPEN AND CLOSED WHEN IT WANTED WHEN PUSHING THE SWITCH AND NOW IT WONT OPEN AT ALL. FUSES ARE GOOD. DEFROST WILL NOT WORK. POPPING SOUND FROM THE REAR DRIVE LINE WHEN YOU LEAVE FROM A SLOW STOP.

FORD FIXED MY REAR WINDOW, NO QUESTIONS ASKED....THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED....I STARTED MY TRUCK, PUT ON THE REAR DEFROST, DROVE OUT OF MY APARTMENT COMPLEX AND AS I WAS ABOUT TO EXIT THE COMPLEX I HEARD A LOUD POP/CRACK NOISE, I STOPPED, NO ONE WAS AROUND, (IT WAS 6AM IN THE MORNING), I CHECKED THE ENTIRE TRUCK TO SEE WHAT IT WAS AND THE BACK LEFT PART OF THE REAR WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED!, NO SIGN OF IMPACT, JUST SHATTERED...APPARENTLY THERE IS NO RECALL OUT ON IT, SO IF IT HAS HAPPENED TO YOU OR DOES HAPPEN, TAKE IT IN!, WITH HOW MANY COMPLAINTS I HAVE ALREADY READ, IT MUST BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT RELATED TO THE REAR DEFROST OR INSTALLATION OF THE WINDOW....

THE TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH A CAP LESS FILLER SYSTEM FOR THE FUEL FILLER. THE MECHANISM THAT CONTROLS THIS HAS FAILED LEAVING THE FUEL FILLER DOOR TO NOT CLOSE PROPERLY AND IT FLAPS IN THE BREEZE AS YOU ARE DRIVING. THIS LEAVES THE GAS LINE TO THE TANK EXPOSED AND IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE. NORMALLY FORD HAS A 36MO/ 36000 WARRANTY AND ON THIS TRUCK THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 100000 MILES BUT WHEN CONTACTED ABOUT THE ISSUE THEY SAID THIS ISN'T COVERED AND THERE WOULD BE A CHARGE FOR REPAIRING IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED AND THEY SHOULD BE ADDRESSING IT AS THIS HAS BECOME STANDARD ON ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES.

AUXILIARY PUMP FOR POWER BRAKES BOOST NOISY/FAILURE

TRUCK WAS PARKED, REAR DEFROSTER HAD BEEN ON THE HOUR LONG TRIP. PARKED AT DESTINATION, A FEW MINUTES LATER THERE IS A LOUD POP SOUND, AS IF A ROCK HAD FALLEN ON THE ROOF OF THE TRUCK. AFTER WHICH I LOOK TO INSPECT POSSIBLE DAMAGE, TO MY SURPRISE THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE TO SUSPECT ANY TYPE OF DAMAGE. I LOOKED ON THE ROOF, THE BED ON THE TRUCK AND THE SURROUNDING OF THE VEHICLE. FOUND NOTHING TO SUSPECT AND COLLISION HAD HAPPENED. I DISMISSED THE NOISE SINCE THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE. THE NEXT MORNING I START UP MY TRUCK TO GO TO WORK AND LOOK THROUGH THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND FIND THE LEFT REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IS SHATTERED COMPLETELY. I THEN BEGAN TO INVESTIGATE THE DAMAGE BY LOOKING FOR POINT OF IMPACT TO ONLY CONCLUDE THERE IS NO SUCH POINT. THE SHATTER IS A THROUGH AND THOUGH SHATTER, CLEAN SPIDER WEB LIKE SHATTER. IS THERE A FAULT IN THE PRODUCTION OF THE TEMPERED GLASS, THE HOUSING FRAME OF THE GLASS IMPROPERLY INSTALLED, MAYBE IT IS SHORT IN THE REAR DEFROST SYSTEM. HOPING THERE IS AN ANSWER TO THIS MYSTERIOUS PHENOMENA. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE TRAVELING 50 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE ENGINE MISFIRED AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED BEFORE THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE THAT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PLUGS NEEDED TO BE CLEANED AND REPLACED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE DEALER ONLY CLEARED THE CODES AND DID NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE. WHILE IN REVERSE, THE SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE. A MECHANIC TOLD THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY STEERING NUT IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ON 4/21/2015 WITH THE IMPRESSION FROM THE DEALER THAT I COULD ORDER THE TELESCOPIC STEERING WHEEL AND HAVE IT INSTALLED. I AM 6'4 AND HAVE TO SIT FARTHER BACK SO I CAN'T SAFELY REACH THE STEERING WHEEL TO DRIVE WITHOUT THE TELESCOPIC FEATURE. AFTER TALKING WITH FORD DEALERS, FORD COMPANY, AND AFTERMARKET SHOPS, FORD DOES NOT MAKE A KIT OR HAVE A WAY TO INSTALL THE TELESCOPIC FEATURE IN A TRUCK AFTER IT HAS BEEN MANUFACTURED. I AM NOT STUCK WITH THIS VEHICLE AND NOT ONLY UNCOMFORTABLE BUT UNSAFE. *TR

I WAS MERGING ON TO THE EXPRESSWAY AND WENT TO MERGE AND MASHED PEDAL TO THE FLOOR THE 3.5 ECOBOOST ENGINE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND LOST POWER. I WAS ALMOST RUN OVER BY A TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK. HAD THERE NOT BEEN A THIRD LANE FOR HIM TO DODGE AROUND ME I WOULDN'T BE SENDING THIS COMPLAINT, I WOULD BE DEAD. FORD HAS TO FIND A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. *TR

DURING FIRST STARTUP OF THE DAY, THE ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP MAKES A TERRIBLE NOISE FOR APPROX. 10 SECONDS AS IT BUILDS UP ASSIST VACUUM PRESSURE. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES HARD AS A STONE WITH NO VACUUM ASSIST. THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN WITH THE PUMP ASSY. IT BECOMES CORRODED INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY, AND THE PISTON INSIDE THE CHEAP HOUSING BECOMES CORRODED AND THE PUMP WILL EVENTUALLY SEIZE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A DANGEROUS ISSUE. IF THE PUMP SEIZES, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH VACUUM ASSIST COMING FROM THE ENGINE TO PROVIDE ENOUGH VACUUM PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE BOOST SYSTEM AND THE PEDAL BECOMES HARD AS A ROCK TO PRESS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY DURING FIRST STARTUP IN THE MORNING, AND START UP IN THE AFTERNOON WHEN THE VEHICLE SITS FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND VACUUM PRESSURE DEPLETES. *TR

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE ON A TWO LANE ROAD, THE ENGINE ON MY TRUCK STARTED SPUTTERING, THEN LOST SPEED AND POWER VERY RAPIDLY. AT THAT POINT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND THE TRUCK ALMOST STALLED. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT AND AVOID OTHER DRIVERS. HAD AN ONCOMING CAR BEEN TOO CLOSE, OR HAD I NOT HAD A PARKING LOT TO PULL INTO, THERE WAS A STRONG POSSIBILITY I WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO A LESSER DEGREE IN THE PAST, BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT I EXPERIENCED ABOVE, NOR DID THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVER START BLINKING. AT THE TIME I PASSED THIS OFF AS BEING BAD GAS, MY TIRES SLIPPING OR SOME OTHER ISSUE AND THOUGHT NO MORE OF IT. AT THIS POINT I DON'T WANT OTHERS TO GET PUT INTO THE SAME SITUATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SOMEONE GETTING HURT. BECAUSE REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO TRUCKS OF THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, MODEL AND ENGINE I FELT COMPELLED TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

BACK OUT OF GARAGE TURNED STEERING WHEEL TO LEFT; PUT IN DRIVE PULLED AHEAD , ADVANCE TRACK LIGHT CAME ON AND SERVICE ADVANCE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON . IF YOU DON'T RESET LIGHT THE SIGNAL LIGHTS DON'T WORK UNLESS YOU HOLD THE LEVER UP OR DOWN IT BRING CODES UP C1B00 AND U0428-20 ANDU2101 WHICH DEALER SAYS STEERING SENSOR IS BAD BUT NOT SERVICEABLE SO YOU NEED NEW ELECTRIC STEERING RACK. THIS IS ON A 2012 F150XLT AND THERE IS NO RECALL BUT I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, ALSO I THINK IT IS A POWER TRAIN ISSUE. *TR

I WAS GETTING READY TO GET OUR OF MY HOUSE WITH MY SON. WHILE WE WERE LOCKING OUR SEAT-BELTS, I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND WHEN I TURNED, THE BACK RIGHT REAR WINDOW BEHIND MY SON'S HEAD WAS ALL SHATTERED.NOTHING HIT IT AS THE TRUCK WAS STANDING WITH THE WINDOWS FACING MY HOUSE, IT JUST EXPLODED ON ITS OWN. *TR

ON MARCH 26, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN I PRESSED MY REAR DEFROST BUTTON BECAUSE MY MIRRORS HAD SOME ICE ON THEM. I STARTED TO HEAR WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A SIZZLE FROM THE BACKSEAT. I TURNED THE BUTTON OFF FOR A MINUTE OR SO AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON. SECONDS LATER, THE REAR WINDOW OF MY TRUCK SHATTERED. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT. I CONTACTED FORD, AND SO FAR THEY ARE CLAIMING THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH I SEE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR F150S.

STARTED TRUCK AND PULLED AWAY, PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP AND NO BRAKES. AS TRUCK RUNS A FEW MINUTES THE BRAKES START WORKING. FAILED 2 DAYS NOW. FORD WANTS ABOUT $600 FOR REPLACEMENT OF VACUUM PUMP. SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR SAFETY. *TR

WHEN THERE WAS SNOW AND ICE ON THE HIGHWAYS I PUT MY TRUCK IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND WHEN TURNED BACK INTO 2 WHEEL DRIVE I BEGAN TO NOTICE A GRINDING AND VIBRATION NOISE THAT OCCURRED WHEN TURNING. THEN COUPLE WEEKS LATER THE NOISE STARTED WHEN BACKING OUT CAUSING TRUCK TO SHAKE AND LOSE POWER TO BARELY BACK OUT. THIS NOISE CONTINUED AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE. WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND LOOKED OVER. UPDATES WERE MADE AS WELL AS OIL CHANGE BUT DAYS LATER NOISE CAME BACK. SINCE 2/12/15 MY TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOUR TIMES AND HAS PERFORMED RECOMMENDATIONS BY FORD BUT DAYS LATER NOISE COMES BACK. THE LAST TIME MY TRUCK WAS IN I WAS TOLD BY THE OWNER AND SERVICE MANAGER MY TRUCK IS NOT FIXABLE AS THEY WERE INFORMED OTHER 2012 F150'S ARE HAVING SAME ISSUES AND AN INVESTIGATION IS BEING DONE. SINCE THIS MY TRUCK IS SHAKING MORE BACKING UP, JERKING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AS IF LOSING POWER THAN WILL GAIN POWER AND JOLT FORWARD, I HEAR THIS GRINDING NOISE ALL THE TIME WHEN DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS FROM 30-60 MPH, TURNS, AND BACKING UP. THE OTHER ISSUE IS WHEN TRUCK GETS TO 60 MPH OR HIGHER IT DOES NOT SHIFT DOWN UNLESS I LET UP ON PEDAL AND THEN PUSH IT AGAIN. I AM FEELING UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AS TWICE NOW I HAVE HEARD A POPPING NOISE WHILE DRIVING WITH THIS NOISE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO FORD AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING FOR ME. I WANT TO GET RID OF THIS TRUCK AS I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT LIKE T

ONE DAY I TURNED ON MY 2012 FORD F-150 XLT. I WENT TO GO OPEN MY GATE TO MY FRONT LAWN THEN NOTICED MY AIRBAG LIGHT ON. I TURNED OFF MY TRUCK AND TURNED IT BACK ON THEN THE LIGHT STAYED OFF. I CONTINUE TO RUN MY ERRAND THEN WHEN I GOT BACK HOME I NOTICED THAT ONCE I UNBUCKLED MY SEAT BELT AND LEFT THE TRUCK RUNNING TO OPEN MY GATE. THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. THERE IS NO ERROR MESSAGE ON THE LIGHT MEANING " THE LIGHT DOESN'T NOT BLINK ON START" I HAVE CONTACTED FORD ABOUT THE ISSUE BUT THEY CLAIM THERE IS NOT A RECALL NOTICE. I CHECKED THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE ON MY DOOR PANEL AND IT SAYS 11/11. I HAVE SEEN THAT THEY ARE RECALLING VEHICLES FROM 11/06 TO 11/15. HOW IS MY VEHICLE NOT ON THEIR LIST. *TR

I HIT THE REMOTE START ON MY TRUCK THIS MORNING AND WHEN I WALKED OUT TO MY TRUCK AND GOT IN TO HEAD TO WORK I HEARD A LOUD POP AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS AT FIRST. I LOOKED BACK AND MY BACK RIGHT REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. I DON'T KNOW HOW OR WHAT HAPPENED. I JUST HEARD THE NOISE AND LOOKED AROUND AND NOTICED MY WINDOW EXPLODED. I GOT OUT TO LOOK AT IT AND WHEN I SHUT MY DOOR THE WINDOW FELL APART. *TR

MARCH 1 AT APPROX... 8AM I WAS COMING OUT OF A 30MPH ZONE ON THE TURNPIKE. AS I ACCELERATED TO HIGHWAY SPEED THE TRUCK STARTED SHUTTERING BAD AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON.... AND PUT THE TRUCK IN A DEAD ZONE.... IT WAS STILL RUNNING BUT POWER WAS NOT THERE!!! I PUT ON MY FLASHERS AND SAFELY MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER.. THE SEMI DIRECTLY BEHIND ME MISSED ME BY INCHES. *TR

MULTIPLE OCCASIONS GO TO STEP ON THE GAS AND THE TRUCK JUST DOESN'T ACCELERATE, FEELS LIKE A MISFIRE OR ALMOST ABOUT TO STALL, THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A LIGHT AND LIGHT TURNS GREEN, HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN ROLLING IN TRAFFIC OR TRYING TO GET ONTO HIGHWAY AT THE ON RAMP. ANOTHER TIME DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, STEPPED ON GAS AND TRUCK LURCHED FORWARD AS IF SOMEONE HIT ME FROM BEHIND AND RPM KEPT ACCELERATING EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT STEPPING ON THE GAS. HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO DEALER AND THEY CLAIM THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I BELIEVE THESE ARE PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I'M EXPECTING THE TRUCK TO MOVE SO I CAN GO ALONG WITH FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND IT JUST HANGS ON ME PUTTING ME IN A BAD SITUATION OR IT LAUNCHES FORWARD MAKING ME MOMENTARILY JERK THE WHEEL AND LOSE CONTROL. POSSIBLE KNOWN ISSUE? (HTTP://WWW.USATODAY.COM/STORY/MONEY/CARS/2013/05/28/FORD-F150-ECOBOOST-GOVERNMENT-PROBE/2367197/) THANKS *TR

UPDATED - NHTSA ID NUMBER 1005220-7, FORD F150 2012 3.5 WITH TURBO ACCELERATION FAILURE: ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS: 5 DEGREES, ROADS WERE DRY, NO PRECIPITATION IN THE PAST 72 HOURS. DURING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP, THE TURBO CHARGERS KICKED IN AND THE VEHICLE QUICKLY WENT INTO A MISS-FIRE CONDITION, (THE VEHICLE ENGINE FAULT LIGHT BEGAN BLINKING) CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO QUICKLY LOOSE POWER. VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN OFF OF THE MAIN THOROUGHFARE INTO A RESIDENTIAL AREA WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS ALLOWED TO IDLE FOR A FEW MOMENTS. THE ENGINE LIGHT STOPPED BLINKING AND THE VEHICLE WAS ONCE AGAIN DRIVEN WITHOUT ISSUE (SLOW ACCELERATION WAS USED FOR THE BALANCE OF THE TRAVEL THAT DAY). ISSUE AGAIN OCCURRED OFF AND ON AND BECAME A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE ON FRIDAY, MARCH 6TH WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A TOLL ROAD DURING RUSH HOUR WHEN THE VEHICLE AGAIN LOST POWER. WAS FORTUNATE TO CLOSE TO AN OFF RAMP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS ONCE AGAIN ALLOWED TO IDLE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE CONTINUING TRIP. VEHICLE WAS DROPPED OFF WITH FORD DEALERSHIP. NO ODB CODES ARE IN THE MEMORY; FAIR OAKS FORD IS INDICATING THAT THE VEHICLE REQUIRES A TUNE-UP AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $600.00. WHY AM I PAYING FOR THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT!!! *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HAD TURNED ON THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER. I HEAR A LOUD POP WHICH STARTLED ME. I LATER NOTICED THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW HAD SPIDERED OR SHATTERED COMPLETELY. THE REAR WINDOW IS A THREE-PANEL WINDOW WITH THE CENTER WINDOW HAVING ELECTRONIC OPENING. *TR

DRIVER SIDE-REAR DEFROST WINDOW SHATTERED FOR NO REASON. THE TRUCK HAS A CAP ON THE BED. NOW HAVE TO GET THE CAP REMOVED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. FORD SAID NO WAY TO COVER EVEN THE $100 DEDUCTIBLE. TERRIBLE SERVICE WHEN I SPENT $30K AND THEY CAN'T CHIP IN WHEN THERE IS A DEFECT. AND THE ENTIRE REAR WINDOW WILL NEED TO BE REPLACE, NOT JUST THE SECTION. *TR

THE REAR WINDOW ON MY F150 BROKE WHILE MY WIFE WAS WARMING UP THE CAR. THE ONLY THING SHE DID WAS TURN ON THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST. *TR
