2013 Ford F-150 complaints

BRAKES SQUEAK LOUD WHEN IN REVERSE.

MY 2013 FORD F-150 RAPTOR HAS HAD TWO COMPLETE BURNED UP MASTER FUSE BOXES OCCUR ON MY TRUCK. THE ORIGINAL ONE BURNED OUT AND MELTED AT 36K MILES ABOUT A YEAR AGO. FORD COVERED IT UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. THIS SECOND ONE HAS JUST BURNED UP AT 80K. SAME EXACT THING. THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFECT ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH MANY 2013 MODEL FORD RAPTOR F-150. ACCORING TO ONLINE REPORTS AND VARIOUS DEALER COMMENTS. FOR SAFETY PURPOSES THIS IS A SEVERE ENOUGH AND CONTINUAL ISSUE THAT A RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE. FOUR PEOPLE I KNOW WHO HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK BETWEEN 2011-2013 HAVE ALL HAD THE SAME ISSUE. VEHICLE WILL NOT START OR OPERATE WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS IT'S ABNORMAL TO HAVE SUCH AND ISSUE WITH A SAFETY RISK AND THE POTENTIAL OF THE VEHICLE CATCHING FIRE. IT HAPPENS SO OFTEN APPARENTLY THERE IS A MAJOR BACK ORDER ON THE FUSE BOX REPLACEMENT. LAST TIME I WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE 6MONTHS TO GET THE PART.

I WAS TRAVELING ALONG I-85 ABOUT 70MPH IN MY 2013 F-150 STX 5.0 WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE THE TRUCK DOWN SHIFTED FROM OVERDRIVE TO 2 GEAR THE TRUCK STARTED WHEEL HOPPING AND BARKING THE TIRES AND WAS NEARLY UNCONTROLLABLE! I WAS ALMOST HIT IN THE REAR SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL I COULD LIMP IT TO THE SHOULDER AND IF ANYONE KNOWS THE AREA I WAS ALMOST IN CHARLOTTE NC TRAFFIC IS TERRIBLE. ONCE I GATHERED MYSELF NOTICED THE SEATBELT LIGHT CAME ON ODOMETER SHOWED 2 DOTTED LINES WITH THE A WRENCH SIGN, ALSO TRIED TO TAKE OFF AGING LITTLE POWER SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT WORKING AND WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 2ND GEAR. I STOPPED AND CUT THE TRUCK OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND SEEM TO BE OKAY. THE VERY NEXT DAY GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 55MPH AND IT DID THE SAME THING EXCEPT THIS TIME THE BACK WHEELS SEEM TO HAVE LOCKED UP AND WHEN IT LET LOOSE I ALMOST GOT HIT TRYING TO THE SHOULDER ONCE AGAIN DID THE EXACT THINGS AS THE DAY BEFORE STILL NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD NOTHING COULD BE DONE UNTIL A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ONCE AGAIN AFTER LETTING THE TRUCK SET FOR A BIT IT SEEMED OKAY. SO FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS IT RUN FINE AND I WAS TO LEAVE THE NEXT MORNING FOR OUT OF TOWN WORK AND MY TRUCK IS THE ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND JUST AS I PULLED FROM MY HOUSE IT STARTED TO ACT UP AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON JUST SO HAPPENS I LIVE NEAR A PARTS STORE CHAIN AND THE PERSON PUT THE CODE DEVICE ON AND THE CODE CAME UP WITH I BELIEVE IT WAS P 0720 WHICH WAS THE OUTPUT

TURNED ON DEFROSTER THIS MORNING, DRIVERS SIDE REAR GLASS SHATTERED 5 MINUTES LATER. TRAVELING AT 65 MPH, EXPRESSWAY,LIGHT TRAFFIC AND NO OUTSIDE INFLUENCE. FIRST THOUGHT ,AFTER A LOUD POP, WAS THAT MY TRUCK HAD BEEN SHOT AT.

MY MASTER CYLINDER LEAKED AND CAUSE MY BREAKS TO LOCK UP ,THAT'S WHAT MY REPAIR SHOP SAID

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE WRENCH WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE SPEED DECREASED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 41,770.

STARTED TRUCK WITH REMOTE(FOB), YESTERDAY MORNING. I NEEDED TO DEFROST MY WINDOWS AS WELL. ON MY WAY TO WORK,TWENTY MINUTES LATER, I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN BLAST. I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD SHOT MY TRUCK OR THREW A ROCK. I LOOKED IN MY REARVIEW WINDOW AND THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND NO SIGNS OF IMPACT BY A FOREIGN OBJECT. THE WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS, I SEE THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECTIVE DEFROSTER CONTRIBUTING TO SPONTANEOUS SHATTERING OF REAR WINDOWS ON THE F150. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY'RE GIVING ME "I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS" I'M NOT BUYING IT. ALSO, IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TODAY, MY SMALL CHILD WOULD HAVE BEEN SITTING RIGHT THERE. THIS IS NOT OKAY AND FORD SHOULD REPAIR THESE FOR CUSTOMERS. *TR

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FAILED AT 40,000 MILES WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IN TRAFFIC. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE SPEED, AS THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT RESPOND, AND THE CAR SLOWED TO ABOUT 5 MPH. I MANAGED TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT A COLLISION. I CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT FOR FORD 3.5L ENGINES. MY TRUCK HAS THE 3.5L ECO-BOOST ENGINE. *TR

DURING THE START UP OF MY 2013 FORD F-150, I PROCEEDED TO UTILIZE THE REAR DEFROSTER TO GET THE ICE OFF THE REAR WINDOW. THE REAR WINDOW IS COMPRISED OF 3 PANELS OF GLASS, ONE ON EACH SIDE AND THE SLIDING WINDOW IN THE CENTER. LAST WEEK, THE REAR DEFROSTER WORKED INTERMITTENTLY, AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT DEPRESSING THE BUTTON IT WOULD EVENTUALLY TURN ON, NOT A WEEK LATER IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. THINKING IT WAS POSSIBLY THE FUSE OR A PROBLEM WITH THE BUTTON ITSELF, I SEARCHED ONLINE TO FIND OUT IF THERE WAS SOMETHING I COULD DO, AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE BACK GLASS AND THAT SOME HAD THIS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND TALKED TO THE REPAIR DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD BY THE MANAGER THAT HE HAS THE SAME VEHICLE AND THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE REAR DEFROST TO WORK IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE BACK GLASS AND THAT THE COST IS AROUND $2200. SEARCHING ONLINE ON THE F150 FORUM BOARDS FINDS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THE FIX IS REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE BACKGLASS. BECAUSE MY VEHICLE HAS 50,000 MILES AND IS PAST THE 36,000 MILES OF THE WARRANTY IT IS NOT FORDS PROBLEM. AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE (VISIBILITY THROUGH BACK GLASS) I SEARCHED ON THE GOVERNMENTS RECALL WEBSITE HERE AND FOUND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND THAT MANY HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE WINDOWING CRACKING, SPIDERING AND EXPLODING WHEN USING ' WHICH TELLS ME DO NOT TURN ON THE REAR DEFROST FOR FEAR OF A BROKEN WINDOW EXPLODING WHILE I

INTERMITTENT REAR DEFROSTER ON OCCASION. WHILE SITTING IN DRIVEWAY ATTEMPTING TO GET REAR DEFROSTER TO OPERATE THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE GLASS SHATTERED. SOUNDED LIKE A BULLET/ROCK HIT WINDOW BUT IMPOSSIBLE DUE TO DIRECTION OF WINDOW AS IT WAS FACING THE BACK OF THE GARAGE. SEEMED ODD BUT WHEN I INVESTIGATED THROUGH MY DEALERSHIP THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE HEARD OF THE REAR DEFROSTER CAUSING THIS BUT BECAUSE IT WAS GLASS AND NOT COVERED TO CONTACT FORD. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT NO RECORDS OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS WERE ON FILE AND THAT THERE WAS NO WAY TO PROVE THAT THE WINDOW WAS BROKEN BY THE DEFROSTER THUS IT WAS NOT COVERED BY MY WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. SINCE THIS IS A POWER THREE GLASS WINDOW WITH DEFROSTER IT WILL NEED FULL REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF OVER $1000 WITH NO GUARANTEE IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

2013 FORD F-150. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE CONTINUED TO STALL AFTER DEALERSHIP REPLACED THROTTLE BODY UNIT. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAD TWO UNITS FAIL WITHIN A SEVEN MONTH PERIOD, THAT CAUSED THE ACCELERATION TO SHUT DOWN. WHEN IT INCIDENTS OCCURRED, HE WAS FORCED TO COAST TO A SAFE LOCATION TO RE-START THE VEHICLE. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON A TWO LANE ROAD, THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT, SIDESWIPING ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

BOUGHT TRUCK WITH 45000 MILES. DROVE 7000 MILES. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE AND THEY TELL ME FRONT LEFT CALIPER HAS LOCKED UP. NEED TO REPLACE CALIPER AND BRAKE PADS. TOOK TRUCK TO ANOTHER PLACE FOR SECOND OPINION. THEY FIGURED OUT CALIPER PINS NOT LUBRICATED AND THAT IS WHY IT WAS LOCKING UP. HAD TO REPLACE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. DURING TEST, MASTER CYLINDER FAILED. HAVE TO REPLACE. DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX PROBLEM. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2013 FORD F150'S MASTER CYLINDER.

FORD'S ELECTRONIC POWER ASSISTED STEERING (EPAS) SYSTEM FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED. THE STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO MANAGE THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK AND RE-STARED IT, AND THE STEERING WAS FINE. THE SAME EVENT HAPPENED 3 TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET THE TRUCK INTO THE SHOP FOR THE $2,000.00 REPLACEMENT. CANNOT BELIEVE THAT NHTSA HAS NOT RECOGNIZED THIS AS A SYSTEMIC FAILURE WORTHY OF A RECALL. HUNDREDS OF F150 TRUCKS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. ONLY A BRIEF AMOUNT OF RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVEALS THAT THIS IS A SYSTEMIC FAILURE ISSUE.

LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID FROM THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER

LOSS OF BRAKES WHILE DRIVING. BRAKES STOPPED WORKING. PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. HAD TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. TOWED CAR TO FORD TO GET BRAKES FIXED. BRAKE LINE ENDED UP BREAKING AND ROTORS WERE DAMAGED.

BRAKE ROTORS WERE TURNED AT 13000 MILES AGAIN AT 26000 & 34000. HAVE 38000 MILES ON VEHICLE NOW & HAVE SAME PROBLEM. MOST OF THESE MILES HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY

I WAS IN A PARKING LOT BACKING OUT OF MY SPOT. WITH NO WARNING LIGHT OR ANY PREVIOUS WARNING, MY BREAK SYSTEM WENT OUT. ACCELERATING IN REVERSE AND BREAKS TO THE FLOOR, MY TRUCK JUST CONTINUED TO SPEED UP. I SLAMMED MY CAR IN PARK AND THE TRUCK SHUT OFF. IT WAS NOT UNTIL THAT MOMENT THAT A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON STATING LOW BRAKE FLUID. I COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE IN THIS PARKING LOT. FORD TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT IN AND THEY WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I HAD TO TOW IT IN MYSELF AND THEY CLAIMED THE WARNING LIGHT WAS ON PREVIOUS TO ME PUTTING MY CAR IN REVERSE (WHICH IS WRONG) BUT THEY REPLACED MY BREAK SYSTEM FOR ME (WITH THE SAME FAILING SYSTEM). I STILL HAVE NO FAITH IN MY BREAKS AND MY TRUCK HAS NEVER DROVE THIS POORLY. EVERYTHING ON IT SQUEAKS (PROBABLY FROM SLAMMING IT IN PARK TO AVOID RUNNING PEOPLE OVER). THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL!!!

DRIVING HOME FROM A CAMPING TRIP WITH MY SON, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AT THE SAME TIME THE "LOW BRAKE FLUID" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. MY TRUCK DID NOT STOP, TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT, I HAD TO SLOW MY TRUCK USING MY PARKING BRAKE, AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROCEDURE. I ATTEMPTED TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL TO POSSIBLY GET MORE PRESSURE IN THE BRAKE LINES, BUT THAT DID NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE BECAME UN-DRIVEABLE AND HAD TO BE TOWED. I EXAMINED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND SAW THERE WAS NO FLUID. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THE FOLLOWING DAY AFTER THE SERVICE TECH EXAMINED IT, HE SAID THE BRAKE FLUID HAD LEAKED FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THIS BRAKE FAILURE OCCURRED OR MY SON AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD BANG NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE REAR PANEL WINDOW SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

TRUCK VIBRATES BADLY WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. FEEL A PULSE IN THE BRAKE PEDAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO LOSE CONTROL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND PULL OVER. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN IN FIRST GEAR TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED AND UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,000.

WITHOUT WARNING BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKES AND LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON. HAD TO DRIVE INTO THE DITCH TO KEEP FROM HITTING ANOTHER CAR AND USED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO GUAN LILY STOP BEFORE HITTING A TREE. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR ANYTHING JUST ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKES. MASTER CYKINDER WAS EMPTY PUT 6 PINTS OF FLUID IN IT. THAT JUST DISAPPEARED. NO LEAKS ANY WHERE UNDER THE TRUCK. FORD RECALLED 271000 FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. BUT MINE IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. WE WERE COMING HOME FROM FOOTBALL GAME IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT MIDNIGHT. HAD TO CALL WRECKER TO GET US HOME.

WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET ON AND GOING 70 MPH, ON A STRAIGHT LEVEL HIGHWAY, TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR. REAR TIRES SLID, ENGINE RPM'S WERE INCREASED FROM THE ENGINE BRAKING EFFECT OF THE SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT AND TIRES DRAGGING. PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE FOR A SHORT TIME. STARTED THE ENGINE AND WENT HOME SLOWLY WITHOUT ANOTHER ISSUE. DID A SEARCH FOR WHAT HAPPENED AND FOUND THE RECALL FOR 2011 AND 2012 F150. THIS IS A SERIOUSLY UNSAFE AND UNPREDICTABLE CONDITION THAT IF IT OCCURS ON A CURVE OR RAIN SLICKED ROAD COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT THROUGH LOSS OF CONTROL. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND BEEN TOLD THE RECALL DOES NOT COVER MAY YEAR MODEL. I THINK MY 95,000 MILES ON MY 2013 MODEL F150 PUTS MY VEHICLE IN THE MILEAGE RANGE OBTAINED BY EARLIER YEAR MODELS SO I MAY BE THE START OF THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE 2013 YEAR MODELS. THERE IS A COMPONENT ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS THAT THEY FAILING IN SUCH A DANGEROUS AND UNPREDICTABLE MANNER. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS 16V248000 FOR 2011 AND 2012 F150S.

YESTERDAY BRAKE PEDAL STARTS TO PUSH TOWARD THE FLOORBOARD WHILE BRAKING. AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT THE VEHICLE HAD NO BRAKES AND LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING WAS ON. HAD TO HAVE TOWED TO DEALER.

FORD V6 ECO-BOOST ENGINE TURBO TEMP AND PRESSURE SENSOR FAILED WHICH CAN RESULT IN THE TURBO OVERHEATING AND POSSIBLE ENGINE FIRE.

BRAKE FLUID LEAKED FROM CASTER CYLINDER TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER CAUSING A SUDDEN AND ALMOST COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY. ALMOST CAUSED SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

DRIVING ON A CITY STREET THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING AND LOSS ALL ACCELERATION, IT SHOWED A WRENCH ON THE DASH SCREEN, COASTED TO A SAFE PLACE AND TURNED TRUCK OFF. IT RESTARTED FINE. APPROX 30 MINS LATER ON THE HIGHWAY IT DID THE SAME THING, STARTED SHAKING, NO ACCELERATION AND THE WRENCH SHOWED UP. AGAIN COASTED TO A SAFE SPOT AND RESTARTED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG, BUT THAT IT COULD BE THE ETB BUT WITH OUT A CODE SHOWING THEY CANT DO ANYTHING.

LIKE MANY OTHER FORD THROTTLE BODY COMPLAINTS IN VEHICLES 2010-2013 MINE HAS THE SAME ELECTRICAL CONNECTION PROBLEM FROM THE VEHICLE COMPUTER TO THE THROTTLE BODY ITSELF. SENDING THE VEHICLE INTO THE "LIMP HOME MODE " WHILE IN MOTION AT ANY SPEED CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE BY, AT ANY GIVEN TIME LOSING THROTTLE CONTROL.THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE EARLIER RECALL ( CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM VIA FORD MOTOR COMPANY ) OF ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY DEFECTS.

WHILE DRIVING ALONG, LOST POWER AND MOTOR VIBRATED. LIGHT WITH WRENCH CAME ON. VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN. PULLED ON SIDE OF THE ROAD. MOTOR KEPT RUNNING ERRATICALLY. ENGINE SURGED TO A HIGHER SPEED BY ITSELF. PROBLEM CLEARED BY ITSELF. WENT TO AUTOZONE AND HAD ERROR CODE READ. IT SAID THAT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF IN GEAR AND ENGINE SURGED OR IF FAILURE OCCURRED ON A FREEWAY.

MULTIPLE TIMES NOW, MY TRUCK WILL DOWNSHIFT AND SEND THE RPMS OVER 4500 THIS CAUSES THE ENGINE TO MISFIRE, THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL BLINK AND THE TRUCK WILL STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN ITS SPEED AND ANY ACCELERATION IS EXTREMELY DIMINISHED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I FREQUENTLY DRIVE ON RURAL 2-LANE(ONE IN EACH DIRECTION) HIGHWAYS AND FIND THIS PROBLEM SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTS MY ABILITY TO SAFELY PASS SLOWER VEHICLES. IT HAS FAILED TO ACCELERATE ENOUGH TIMES THAT I CANNOT DEPEND ON THE TRUCK TO ACCELERATE WHEN I MOVE INTO ONCOMING LANES OF TRAFFIC. AT 30,000 MILES THE ENGINE DEVELOPED AN OIL LEAK. WITHIN A MONTH OF HAVING THE LEAK REPAIRED AT THE DEALER, THE ENGINE EXPERIENCED A MAJOR MISFIRE EVENT CAUSING THE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED THAT TWO IGNITION COILS WENT BAD AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. THIS CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE SPARK PLUGS FOR WHICH I WAS CHARGED APPROX $250 BUT WAS ABLE TO NEGOTIATE IT DOWN TO $140. WITHIN A MONTH OF GETTING THE VEHICLE BACK, THE VEHICLE STARTED DISPLAYING THE MISFIRE SYMPTOMS WITH DIMINISHED ACCELERATION AND BLINKING ENGINE LIGHT. VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL, A SQUEAKING NOISE WAS PRESENT FROM ALL FOUR WHEELS. THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND VIBRATED. THE VEHICLE ALSO SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND APPEARED TO STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STALLING WAS DUE TO A FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER. THE DEALER CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS, BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,667.

IF YOU HAVE AN ECOBOOST V6. I HAVE NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES WHEN YOU HAVE TO ACCELERATE VERY QUICKLY THE VEHICLE TAKES UP TO 5 SECONDS TO RESPOND AND GIVE YOU ANY POWER. I ASSUME THAT THE COMPUTER IS SPINNING UP THE TWIN TURBOS BUT THOSE CRITICAL SECONDS CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE ON A FEW OCCASIONS ALMOST GOT RAN OVER BECAUSE THE TRUCK DECIDED TO TAKE ITS TIME GIVING ME POWER TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. ITS LIKE FOR THOSE FEW SECONDS YOU HAVE NO POWER.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN RAINY CONDITIONS, WENT TO ACCELERATE AND THE TRUCK ENGINE HESITATED THEN SHUTTERED AND NEARLY SHUT DOWN. THE CHECK ENGINE ILLUMINATED AND THIS CONTINUED FOR APPROXIMATELY A MINUTE. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON FOUR DIFFERENT SITUATIONS ALL AT 70-80 MPH WHILE TRYING TO PASS. IN ONE SITUATION, IT NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. ALSO HAVING THE TICKING AND SEVERE KNOCKING DURING ENGINE START FIRST TIME IN THE MORNING OR AFTER COLD SOAKING. FORD HAS REFUSED TO FIX THE ISSUES ON THEIR OWN BECAUSE THE TRUCK HAS 63,000 MILES.

2013 F150 V8 WITH 28000 MILES HAS FAULTY FRONT BRAKES. THE OUTSIDE PADS APPEAR TO BE WORKING PROPERLY WHILE THE INSIDE PADS ARE NOT. THE INSIDE OF THE ROTORS ARE GOUGED AND RUSTY WHILE THE OUTSIDES ARE IN PERFECT SHAPE. I SEE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN GRINDING OFF AND ON SINCE 15000 MILE WITH NORMAL USE, AND NO OFF-ROAD USE.

I BOUGHT MY TRUCK NEW FROM THE DEALER 2013. I'M CONSISTENT WITH ALL THE UP KEEPS OF MY TRUCK. HOWEVER, MID AUGUST 2016, I NOTICED THE TRUCK HESITATED TO START AT THE BEGINNING WHILE IN STATIONARY POSITION FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN OUT OF NOWHERE FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT, THE ENGINE DIDN'T START IN THE MORNING AGAIN WHILE IN STATIONARY POSITION AND THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP! I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY THINKING THAT MAYBE IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, EVEN WITH THE NEW BATTERY THE TRUCK FAILED TO START IN STATIONARY. AFTER THAT, I TRIED STARTING MY TRUCK FOR TWO CONSECUTIVE DAYS, BY THE THIRD DAY THE TRUCK STARTED! I DROVE IT IMMEDIATELY TO AUTOZONE BUT NOTHING CAME UP WRONG WITH IT? SO, I DROVE IT BACK HOME. A WEEK LATER, I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUCK, LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPEN. THEN, YESTERDAY ALL OF A SUDDEN I WAS DRIVING HOME, WHILE IN MOTION THE ENGINE DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET, SO I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE TRUCK AS IT CONTINUED TO HESITATE. FINALLY, AFTER 10 MINUTES THE TRUCK STARTED AND I DROVE TO AUTOZONE AND AGAIN NOTHING CAME UP WRONG WITH IT. SO I DROVE IT BACK HOME. THEN, TODAY, WHICH IS SEPTEMBER 2, 2016 WHILE THE TRUCK IS STATIONARY IT FAILED TO START AND THE ENGINE LIGHT, CAME UP AGAIN. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK! I DON'T FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE IN FEAR THAT MY TRUCK WILL STOP WORKING WHILE IN MOTION AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I CAN GET STRANDED ANYWHERE AT ANYTIME.

WHILE OPENING THE SUNROOF IT BINDS ON PASSENGER SIDE AND DOES NOT OPEN. THE SUNROOF WAS TO BE MANUALLY MANIPULATED TO CLOSE WHILE HOLDING DOWN THE MOTOR BUTTON. FORD HAS ISSUED A TSB, BUT IF THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED.

I GET THE ENGINE CODE P0301 WHICH IS AN ENGINE MISFIRE WHEN DRIVING IN ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. THE TRUCK ENGINE STUMBLES AND HAS REDUCED POWER WHEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION ESPECIALLY WHEN I TRY TO PULL A CARGO TRAILER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK AND COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN WITH THE REMOTE ACCESS FOB. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,400.

MY 2013 F150 ECOBOOST HAS APPROXIMATELY 65K MILES ON IT AND HAS RECENTLY BEGUN STALLING WHILE IN OPERATION - ALWAYS MOVING. WHEN THIS OCCURS, AN ORANGE CRESCENT WRENCH APPEARS ON THE INFORMATION CENTER, THE RPM'S BEGIN TO FLUCTUATE, THE TRUCK LOSES ALL ACCELERATION POWER, THE TRUCK BEGINS TO SHUTTER, AND I AM FORCED TO IMMEDIATELY STOP AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC TIME WHEN THIS HAPPENS AS OPPOSED TO NOT, AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE TRAFFIC AROUND ME HAS NO WAY TO ANTICIPATE THE ISSUE EITHER. THE SHOP I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO STATED THEY "THINK" IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY, BUT ARE NOT POSITIVE. THIS IS MY FIRST FORD IN SEVERAL YEARS/CARS AND THOUGH ORIGINALLY PLEASED WITH THE TRUCK, I AM QUICKLY BECOMING FRUSTRATED.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS A CAR ON A RELATIVELY BUSY 2 LANE HIGHWAY ON SAT AUG 13 2016, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK LOST POWER AND SPEED. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTINUE PASSING WHEN THIS OCURRED. ANOTHER VEHICLE COMING FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION WAS CLOSING IN FAST, AND THE CAR I WAS PASSING (WAS JUST UP BY THE FRONT SIDE OF IT) WAS BEGINNING TO PASS ME NOW. I KNOW THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH ME OR MY VEHICLE. I ENDED UP LETTING OFF THE GAS PEDDLE AND DUCKED IN BEHIND THE CAR I WAS PASSING. IT WAS ONLY SECONDS WHEN THE VEHICLE COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WENT BY. VERY SCARY FOR ME AND MY WIFE AS IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER FOR ALL INVOLVED. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME WAS JUST ACCELERATING, AND POSED NO THREAT OR ENDANGERMENT. MY SON HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO IS (2011 FX4 ECOBOOST) AND WAS TOLD BY A DEALER THAT HE MAY HAVE GOTTEN WATER IN THE FUEL. I DON'T AGREE WITH THE STATEMENT. IF NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED OR KILLED YET, I FEEL IT WILL HAPPEN, BECAUSE OUR INCIDENT WAS CLOSE ENOUGH FOR ME TO BE WRITING THIS TO YOU.

BRAKE PADS ARE SEVERELY DETERIORATING EARLY IN THEIR LIFESPAN. FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 25,841 MILES. DEALER SAID IT WAS A CALIBER HANGING UP. HAPPENED AGAIN AT 39,425 MILES. ROTOR WAS GOUGED AGAIN ON OPPOSITE SIDE . DEALER STATED CALIPER AND ROTORS WERE NOT DEFECTIVE. POSSIBLE DEFECTIVE BRAKE PADS. SAME FAILURE ON MY WIFES 2013 FORD FUSION SE.

UPON LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY WHICH IS ON A HILL I WENT TO APPLY MY BRAKES AND HAD NO RESPONSE, CAUSED ME TO GO OFF THE CURB. MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD TO OPERATE I WENT ON LINE AND DID SOME RESEARCH FOUND OUT ABOUT RECALL.

UPON ENTERING FREEWAY MERGING TRAFFIC I HAD A HARD ACCELERATION .MY TRUCK STUMBLED WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER THEN 30 MPH BY THEN THE SEMI WAS ON MY REAR CAUSING A SERIOUS PROBLEM HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER .WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND THE PROBLEM SEAM TO GO AWAY. THIS HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES.

APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AGO, I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA REGARDING A FAULTY MASTER CYLINDER ON OUR FORD TRUCK. I HAD NOTIFIED FORD OF THE ISSUE BUT THE COMPLAINT FELL ON DEAF EARS. RECENTLY, FORD ISSUED A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS RECALL CAME AFTER 9 REPORTED ACCIDENTS AND 1 INJURY. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. I AM STILL STRUGGLING WITH FORD TO BE REIMBURSED $1100 THAT I PAID TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER AND FIX OUR BRAKE PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONTACTED TO SEE IF YOU CAN ASSIST ME.

WENT OUT TO TRUCK ONE AFTERNOON AND THE DRIVER SIDE BACK WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. NO PREVIOUS DAMAGE OR CRACKS. NO APPARENT DAMAGE TO VEHICLE OR MARKS ON WINDOW. WINDOW WAS BOWED SLIGHTLY OUTWARD WITH A "CRACK" GOING FROM ONE CORNER TO THE OTHER THROUGH THE SPIDER WEBBING. WEATHER HAS BEEN QUITE WARM RECENTLY, APPEARS TO BE A STRESS FRACTURE MOST LIKELY DUE TO TEMPERATURE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 FORD F-150 DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN I GOT AN AUDIBLE AND VISUAL WARNING ON MY DASHBOARD TELLING ME THAT MY BRAKE FLUID WAS LOW. I CLEARED THE MESSAGE AND NOTICED THAT A SMALLER RED "BRAKE INDICATOR" LIGHT REMAINED LIT IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I TAPPED THE BRAKES TO MAKE SURE THEY WERE WORKING. THEY WERE WORKING. I IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN AND PROCEEDED RATHER CAUTIOUSLY EXITING THE HIGHWAY IN ROUTE TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, WHICH WAS NOT MORE THAN 1 MILE FROM THE END OF THE EXIT RAMP. AS I PROCEEDED TO THE DEALERSHIP I TESTED THE BRAKES MULTIPLE TIMES. ONCE I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP I PARKED THE F-150 IN A PARKIGN SPOT. AFTER CHECKING IN, THE TECHNICIAN ASKED ME TO PULL MY TRUCK INTO THE SERVICE BAY SO THAT HE COULD HAVE A LOOK AT IT. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE F-150 I CAUTIOUSLY BACKED OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT. AS I BEGAN TO BRAKE SO THAT I COULD SHIFT THE F-150 INTO DRIVE, THE BRAKES FAILED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND THERE WERE NO BRAKES. I QUICKLY APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND AVOIDED, BY JUST INCHES, CRACHING INTO THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND ASKED MY TEENAGE SON TO GET THE TECHNICIAN. THE TECHNICIAN PARKED THE F-150 BACK IN A PARKING SPOT AND I LEFT IT THERE FOR REPAIRS.

PULSATING BRAKE PEDAL, SHIMMY IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT 27,000 MILES. REPLACED ALL 4 ROTORS AND NEW BRAKE PADS. 39,000 MILES NOW, BRAKE PADS NEED TO BE REPLACED.
