2016 Ford F-150 complaints

THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WHEN DEFOGGER WAS TURNED ON. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IN THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY RAMP. YOU CAN SMELL SOMETHING BURNING ELECTRONICS/CABLES. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL IN THE HIGHWAY. THE DRIVER BEHIND ME HAD A CONCERNING FACE ALSO AND ACCELERATED OUT OF THE AREA.

FAULTY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WITH LESS THAN 60,000 MILES. STARTED THE VEHICLE UP, AND ALL GAUGES AND LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, DIAGNOSED AS BAD CLUSTER. A RECALL AFFECTED 2017 MODELS FOR THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE, YET MY 2016 WHICH WAS PRODUCED 2 MONTHS BEFORE THE MODELS AFFECTED BY THE RECALL IS NOT COVERED. (NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 17V053000) FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS REFUSED TO HELP IN THE MATTER AND SUGGESTED I FILE A COMPLAINT HERE.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2 GIRLS TO OUR NANNY'S HOME AND THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED ON HER WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING. FORTUNATELY SHE DID'T GET TOO FAR. AND THANK GOODNESS WE WERE NOT TRAVELING OUR NORMAL COMMUTE WHICH IS ON A 75 MPH HIGHWAY. I LOVE MY TRUCK, BUT NOW I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING IT. IT IS SITTING NOW UNTIL FORD FIXES IT. THE MORE INFORMATION I READ AND COLLABORATE, THE MORE DISAPPOINTED I AM IN THIS VEHICLE AND MANUFACTURER. WE ALREADY HAD ONE SAFETY INCIDENT WITH THIS TRUCK AS THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER SEATBELT WAS INSTALLED BACKWARDS! NOW THE BRAKES FAILING COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING IS THE LAST STRAW. WHAT IS SHOCKING TO ME IS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS AS FAR BACK AS 2015 HOWEVER, SOME OF THE FAULTY PARTS (MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER) TRICKLED INTO PRODUCTION. THIS RECALL HAD TO DO WITH THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND IF THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH THE FAULTY PART, IT COULD LOSE ALL OF IT'S BRAKING CAPABILITY. AGAIN, I AM THANKING MY LUCKY STARS THAT ALL OF MY GIRLS ARE OK, BUT THIS IS UNACCEP AS A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT LOSE 100% OF BRAKING WHILE IN USE. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY WE TRAVEL EVERY WEEK? HAVE A LOOK AT THE ATTACHED PHOTOS. AN EMPTY BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND ZERO BRAKE FLUID--ANYWHERE.

EVERY TIME THE TEMPERATURE DIPS BELOW 20 DEGREES THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH NOR LOCK. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT, IN FACT CLAIMS TO HAVE FIXED IT, BUT THE ISSUE REMAINS. IN TALKING TO OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE THEY ALSO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, APPARENTLY FORD DOESN'T.

DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG INFLATOR FAILED. AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, DEALER DETERMINED AIR BAG INFLATOR WAS BAD AND NEEDED REPLACED.

MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 18N03 FOR THE DOOR LATCH FREEZING OVERNIGHT AND BEING UNABLE TO CLOSE THE DOOR AFTER OPENING IT IN THE MORNING UNTIL IT WARMED UP. THIS WAS ORIGINALLY REPAIRED UNDER THE PROGRAM 18N03 IN MARCH 2019. IN FEBRUARY 2020 THE SAME DOOR LATCH HAD TO BE REPLACED COMPLETELY AS THE DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK UNLESS MANUALLY OPERATED FROM THE INSIDE. GIVEN THE SHORT TIME FRAME BETWEEN THE TWO REPAIRS THE ORIGINAL FREEZING AND BEING UNABLE TO LATCH MUST HAVE DAMAGED THE DOOR LATCH CAUSING IT TO FAIL LESS THAN A YEAR LATER. THE DEALER AND THE FORD CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AGENT BOTH REFUSED TO REPAIR THE LATCH THE SECOND TIME UNDER THE PROGRAM COSTING ME $583 OUT OF POCKET.

THE 2016 F150 WITH 40,000 MILES ON THE ENGINE HAD EXPERIENCED A ROUGH IDLE AND ENGINE STALLS. THE PROBLEM IS IN ABLE TO BE PREDICTABLE RECREATED CAUSING THE DEALERSHIP TO NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS AT 12000 MILES, MANY ENGINE PARTS WERE REPLACED TO FIX THIS ISSUES HOWEVER WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. THE VEHICLE IS BECOMING DIFFICULT TO DRIVE OR HAVE REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE TYPICALLY ROUGH ISLES OR STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR SITTING STILL. THIS POSES A CONCERNS WHEN MAKING A LEFT ON A STANDARD GREEN LIGHT WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

DURING COLD WEATHER ENVIRONMENTS, DOORS FREEZE AND ARE UNABLE TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE.

WHEN BACKING UP, SENSOR WILL INDICATE RED (IMMINENT IMPACT) AND MAKE LOUD BEEPING TONE WHEN NO OBJECT/OBSTACLE IS PRESENT. FALSE BEEPING MAY LEAD TO DRIVER IGNORING BACKUP SENSORS ALTOGETHER. IF BACKING UP FOR LONG DISTANCES TONE CAN BECOME DISTRACTING TO DRIVER.

2016 FORD F150 V8 ENGINE. DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, MY A/C COMPRESSOR WENT OUT. IT COMPLETELY LOCKED UP CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL AND BECOME DISABLED AND COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. SHORTLY AFTER, I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES (AS A RESULT OF THE ENGINE LOSS) WHICH CREATED A SAFETY ISSUE ON A FREEWAY AT 10:30PM AT NIGHT AS I HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE OVER LANES OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND EASE OF BRAKING AND BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP WITHOUT POWER ASSISTED BRAKES. THANKFULLY, WE WERE ABLE TO GET OVER, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT EVERYONE WOULD BE SO LUCKY. I DON'T THINK AN A/C COMPRESSOR BREAKING INTERNALLY SHOULD DISABLE THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE UNLESS SOMETHING IS FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE COMPRESSOR. I COULD SEE ACCIDENTS OCCURRING AS A RESULT OF THE ENGINE BECOMING DISABLED.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 FORD F150 NORTH ON PAYMENT, THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 35. I HAD RECENTLY TURN MY REAR DEFROSTER ON SO IT WAS ON FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES PRIOR TO THE REAR GLASS SHATTERING. I WAS DRIVING AROUND 35 MPH WHEN I HEARD SOMETHING POP AND A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR OF MY PICKUP AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A GUN SHOT BUT IT TURNS OUT THE REAR GLASS HAD SHATTERED. THE ONLY THING THAT COULD'VE CAUSED IT IS THE REAR DEFROSTER. REPLACEMENT OF THE REAR WINDOW AND INSTALLATION WILL COST $623.22.

VEHICLE LANE ASSIST DOES NOT WORK ANY LONGER. WHEN STATIONARY AT START UP THE ICON APPEARS BUT WHEN YOU REACH THE PROPER OPERATING SPEED FOR THE FEATURE TO ASSIST YOU DRIVING IT DOES NOT WORK AND WILL NOT TURN ON.

LUCKILY I WAS NOT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT HAVING WORKED FOR FORD THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND HAS NOW HAPPENED TO BOTH OF MY FORD TRUCKS. FORD MAKES LUG NUTS WITH ALUMINUM CASINGS THAT AFTER 1-5 USES BECOME SWOLLEN AND MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE LUG NUTS FROM VEHICLE ESPECIALLY IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHICH COULD RESULT IN SOMEONE TAKING MORE TIME THAN NEEDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD STRUGGLING TO BREAK SAID LUG NUTS LOOSE AND WILL RESULT IN SOMEONE BEING STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE.. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR 10 + YEARS. I HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS REPLACING THESE LUG NUTS. MULTIPLE OF WHICH HAD TO BE CUT OFF BY MECHANICS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING!!

WINDSHIELD WASHERS FREEZE UP AND BECOME INOPERABLE WHEN TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW 32F EVEN WHEN USING RAIN-X. EVEN IF THEY THAW OUT FROM ENGINE WARM UP THEY CAN REFREEZE WITHIN A FEW MILES OF DRIVING WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 32F. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WASHERS FAIL DURING PERIODS OF SNOW AND ROAD SLUSH IF BELOW FREEZING BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD CAN NOT BE CLEANED.

PROBLEM WITH 2016 F150S DOOR LATCHES WON'T LATCH SOMETIMES WHEN COLD ALLOWING DOOR TO FLY OPEN WHEN DRIVING. RECALL WAS PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED BUT APPARENTLY DIDN'T FIX PROBLEM.

MY 2016 FORD F150 WITH ENGINE BLOCK HEATER CAUGHT FIRE TODAY 14 FEBRUARY 2020 AT 11:12 AM. IT WAS MOVING AND CAUGHT FIRE WHEN I PARKED THE TRUCK

WHILE ENTERING FREEWAY, I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN SUNROOF (PANORAMIC DUAL PANEL) AND HEAR A LOUD BANG FOLLOWED BY TERRIBLE GRINDING AND CRACKING NOISES. AS THE GLASS PANEL RETRACTED, A PIECE OF PLASTIC FROM THE TRACKS SHOT OUT AND STRUCK ME IN THE HEAD WHILE DRIVING. AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY I TRIED TO CLOSE THE SUNROOF. IT WOULD CLOSE ABOUT 80%, STOP, THEN FULLY RETRACT. DUE TO RAIN, I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO DEALER TO GET THE ROOF LOOKED AT. FORD DEALER WAS ABLE TO GET THE SUNROOF TO THE VENT POSITION AND DIAGNOSED BROKEN TRACKS.

REMOTE START WAS ACTIVATED WITH MY TRUCK BACKED INTO MY DRIVEWAY UP TO MY GARAGE. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES I CAME OUT TO MY TRUCK AND OBSERVED THE REAR WINDSHIELD TO BE SHATTERED AND GLASS ALL OVER MY CHILD'S CAR SEAT. AFTER CLOSER INSPECTION, THE AREA AROUND WHERE THE DEFROST WIRE CONNECTS TO GLASS HAD A OBVIOUS BURN PATTERN AND GLASS WAS SPIDER WEBBED OUT FROM THAT LOCATION. FORD WOULD NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR FAILED PARTS AND WOULD NOT REPAIR.

HIGHWAY DRIVING AT 55 MPH, DING AND MESSAGE "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC", "HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE". THROTTLE UNRESPONSIVE AND TRUCK IMMEDIATELY BEGINS SLOWING. MANAGED TO GET OFF ROAD WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. ENGINE RUNNING ROUGHLY IN IDLE. TURN ENGINE OFF AND RESTART. OPERATES NORMALLY. THIS HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES AND PUTS THE VEHICLE AND PASSENGERS IN AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE POSITION! INTERNET RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH FORD THROTTLE BODIES. FORD COMPANY AND DEALERSHIP REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. TROUBLE CODE SHOWS P2112.

DURING FREEZING CONDITIONS, REAR DOOR WILL NOT LATCH SHUT. PARKED DRIVEWAY.

THE LUG NUTS ON MY TRUCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO SWELLING OF THE METALS. SO IF YOU NEEDED TO CHANGE YOUR TIRE YOU LUG WRENCH WOULD NOT FIT AND WOULD LEAVE YOU STRANDED.

RADIO GOES BLANK SCREEN MAY GO 30 MILES BEFORE COMES BACK .WHEN COMES BACK CLOCK IS STILL RIGHT TIME ,PROGRAMMED STATION STILL THERE HAD IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP THEY SAYS SHOWS LOW VOLTAGE THE TRUCK HAS 9.000 MILES JUST TURN 3 YEARS OLD 1/31/20 STILL SUPPOSE TO UNDER WARRANTY HE ASKED ME IF I HAD EXTENDED TOLD HIM NO HAD 3 MORE DAYS AFTER TODAY BEEN IN DEALER 2 TIMES THEY SAY I NEED TO DRIVE MORE I KNOW WHERE THEY GET LOW VOLTAGE SETS IN GARAGE MONTH OR MORE AND BATTERY GOES DOWN DONE SEVERAL TIMES TALKED SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY TOLD ME TO 1 OR 2 AMP CHARGER ON PLUGGED IN WHEN GOES TO SET FOR WHILE I SPENT 60 YEARS WORKING ON VEHICLE IS NOT VOLTAGE I BELIEVE IT A BAD GROUND OR BAD CONNECTION ALSO LIGHTS ON HEATER CONTROLS GOES DIM SOME TIMES THEN THEY COME WHAT UPSETS ME THEY CHARGED ME $45.PLUS FOR CHECKING CAR WHEN IT SHOULD NOT BE UNDER WARRANTY

ELECTRIC TAILGATE RELEASE OPENS ON ITS OWN, WITHOUT ANY INPUT FROM OPERATOR. CAN BE PARKED, OR IN MOTION, DRIVING FORWARD OR REVERSE. HAPPENS RANDOMLY.

I HAVE LITTLE TO NO BRAKES FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES THEY WORK FINE. I BELIEVE IT'S A VACUUM BOOSTER PUMP PROBLEM ON THE FORD 3.5 ECOBOOST MOTOR. 3 DEALERSHIPS FAILED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER IT'S A COMMON OCCURRENCE TO ME. PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY INTO TRAFFIC IS A REAL DANGER TO ME AND MY FAMILY.

OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS, MY TRUCK WOULD LOOSE POWER AND GO INTO LIMP MODE RANDOMLY. I WOULD PULL OVER, TURN THE TRUCK OFF, AND BACK ON. IT WOULD BE OKAY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN OCCUR AGAIN. THIS WOULD HAPPEN IN TOWN AND TWICE WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. I TOOK IT IN TODAY AND HAD THE CODE READ: P2112 THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM - STUCK CLOSED

ONE COLD EARLY MORNING I WAS DRIVING, HAD BOTH REAR AND FRONT DEFROST ON. WHILE DRIVING I HEARD A LOUD POP FOLLOWED BY THE SMELL OF BURNING WIRES. AFTER PULLING OVER I NOTICED THAT MY REAR WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. IT'S A REAR SLIDING WINDOW WITH A POWER WINDOW. BLACK BOX FOR POWER THAT STICK TO THE WINDOW WAS POPPED OFF AND SMELLED LIKE BURNT.

ON 1/16/2020. I USED MY REMOTE STARTER TO START THE 2016 FORD F-150 3 MINUTES LATER I WENT OUT AND SMELLED ELECTRICAL WIRING. I SHUT OFF THE TRUCK TO LOOK AROUND. I THEN STARTED THE TRUCK BACK UP AS SOON AS I DID THAT THE BACK WINDOW BLEW OUT.. CALLED SAFELITE TO REPLACE IT THEM ON 1/21/20 THEY REPLACED IT. THEN WHEN STARTING THE TRUCK AT THE SAFELITE SHOP IT BLEW OUT AGAIN. CALLED FORD DEALERSHIPS AND NONE OF THEM HEARD OF IT DOING IT.

THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE LOCKS FREEZING. I SPOKE WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE THIS MORNING. I HAVE HAD JUST BY DRIVES DOOR REPLACED (THAT IS WERE THE DEALERSHIP STARTS). CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED THAT IS ONLY FIXES THE FRONT DOORS OF MY FOUR DOOR TRUCK. THE TAILGATE OF THE TRUCK ALSO LOCKS AND HAD FROZEN LOCKED. ALL THE DOORS ON MY TRUCK AND THE TAILGATE HAVE FROZEN LOCKED BEFORE. WHEN ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE TAILGATE. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A FIX BUT IT WILL COST YOU $208. PLUS THEY ARE WORKING ON GETTING ME A PRICE FOR MY REAR DOORS FIXED. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM AND RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED TO ONLY FIX PART OF THE ISSUES. I HAVE VIDEOS OF MY TRYING TO GET INTO MY TRUCK TAILGATE WHILE HITTING THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON MY KEY FOB.

I WAS COMPLETING A 3 HOUR DRIVE OF APPROXIMATELY 120 MILES (I HAD LESS THAN 5 MILES TO GO TILL I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION) WHEN MY SENSORS STARTED LIGHTING UP MY MESSAGE BOARD AND DASH SYSTEM. I WAS IN THE LEFT TURN LANE TO ENTER THE ON-RAMP TO US65 SOUTH WHEN THIS HAPPENED SO I PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER TO INVESTIGATE. I HAD JUST PUT MY TRUCK IN PARK WHEN A CAR PULLED UP AND SAID THAT MY ENGINE WAS ON FIRE. WHEN I GOT OUT TO LOOK, THE FIRE WAS ROLLING OUT FROM UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL WELL. AS WELL, THERE WAS EITHER A FLUID OR MELTED PLASTIC DRIPPING DOWN TO THE ASPHALT THAT WAS ALSO ON FIRE. THE FIRE APPEARED TO PUT ITSELF OUT, FOR THE MOST PART, PRIOR TO THE FIRE COMPANY ARRIVING WITHIN THE NEXT 10 MINUTES. I HAD, WHAT I BELIEVED TO BE AT THE TIME, RECALL WORK DONE BY MIKE RAISOR FORD IN LAFAYETTE, IN, LESS THAN 1 YEAR AGO. IN THAT RECALL WORK, I THOUGHT THE BLOCK HEATER WAS DISCONNECTED SO AS TO PREVENT AN ENGINE FIRE SUCH AS THIS. NOW, I AM HAVING DOUBTS AS TO WHETHER THIS WAS COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS 18V894000 AND FORDS RECALL NUMBER IS 18S45.

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE IN MOTION, SITTING STATIONARY AT A STOPLIGHT, OR IN PARK. VEHICLE HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 55+ AND LEAVES THE DRIVER UNABLE TO CONTROL VEHICLE AND CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE DRIVER AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD.

THE TRUCK BEGAN TO MAKE A LOUD, CLUNKY NOISE, ALLTHEWHILE IT WAS SLOWING DOWN AND THEN EVENTUALLY CAME TO A STOP AND WAS NOT DRIVEABLE ANYMORE. WE WERE DRIVING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN IT STALLED. IT WOULD NOT MOVE. IT WOULD TURN ON, BUT IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT STILL MADE THE CLUNKY, LOUD NOISE.

2016 FORD F-150. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DOOR LATCH SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME COMPLETING THE RECALL REPAIR. *JS

THE TAILGATE OPENS ON ITS OWN RANDOMLY WHILE PARKED AND WHEN MOVING. THIS FIRST STARTED HAPPENING IN THE FALL OF 2018 AND I STILL ON GOING AND HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN THIS WEEKEND 1/14/2020 FORD HAD ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ON 2017 AND NEWER TRUCKS BUT MINE IS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL. HOW DO I GET IT ADDED TO THE RECALL TO FIX THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. THE RECALL COVERS F-250, F-350 AND F-450 TRUCKS FROM THE 2017 THROUGH 2019 MODEL YEARS. ALL THE TRUCKS HAVE ELECTRIC TAILGATE LATCH RELEASE SWITCHES IN THE TAILGATE HANDLE. FORD SAYS WATER CAN GET INTO THE ELECTRICAL WIRING AND CAUSE A SHORT CIRCUIT, ACTIVATING THE SWITCHES AND RELEASING THE LATCHES. THAT COULD ALLOW LOOSE CARGO TO FALL ONTO THE ROAD.

WHILE TRAVELING TO WORK ON US-19, TRAFFIC CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP. AS I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT STOP. I VEERED LEFT INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND PASSED 2 VEHICLES BEFORE THE TRUCK CAME TO A STOP WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I SEE THAT THIS HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR EARLIER FORD F150 2014 & 2015 BUT NOT THE 2016 WHICH HAS MORE COMPLAINTS THAN THE PRIOR YEARS.

MY FORD WAS TAKEN TO THE FOX FORD IN WAYNESBURG, PA TO FIX THE 2 RECALLS ON 12/30/2019. ONE OF THE RECALLS WERE REGARDING THE DOOR NOT OPENING OR CLOSING. THEY SAID THEY REPAIRED BOTH RECALLS. AND ONE WEEK LATER ON 01/06/2020 THE DRIVERS DOOR COULD NOT GET INTO HAD TO CRAWL OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE IN ORDER TO START THE TRUCK. THEN ONCE THE DOOR WAS PUSHED OPEN FROM THE INSIDE THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. THE TRUCK SAT FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES TO WARM UP AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH CLOSE UNLESS YOU USED THE LOCK. CALLED THE FOX FORD BACK AND TOLD THEM AND THEY RESCHEDULED MY TRUCK BACK IN ON 01/13/20. THEY CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT THEY TOOK A LOOK AT THE DOOR AGAIN AND SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO EXCEPT PUT MORE LUBE ON/IN IT . AND THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE FOR ME IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN WITH OUT CHARGING ME OR HAVING ANOTHER RECALL. THEREFORE I AM NOTIFYING YOU.

INTERMITTENTLY WHILE TOWING, AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES OF NON STOP HIGHWAY DRIVING, THE ENGINE WILL KILL AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY. WHEN I RESTART IT BY TURNING THE KEY, IT WILL KILL AGAIN AS SOON AS I PUT IT IN DRIVE. THIS WILL HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I GET THE ENGINE TO KEEP RUNNING. THIS HAPPENS ONLY IN THE TOW/HAUL MODE. I HAVE BEEN TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

MY FORD F150'S REAR WINDOW EXPLODED WHILE PULLING INTO AN INTERSECTION AND NO IMPACT. THE REAR DEFROST WAS ON.

VEHICLE ENGINE SHAKES AND SHUTS OFF WHEN STOPPED AND AT IDLE. THIS HAPPENS AFTER VEHICLE WARMS UP AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT FORD TRUCKS DOING THE SAME THING. HAVE READ THAT FORD IS AWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH VARIABLE CAM TIMING SENSORS AND CAM PHASERS, BUT ARE NOT ISSUING RECALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT LEADT 6 TIMES.

I EXPERIENCED AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE THAT WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST BUT BECAME WORST OVER TIME. WITH THIS FAILURE I WOULD LOSE STEERING AND VEHICLE ADVANCE TRACK AS WELL AS ABS BRAKE FUNCTION. WHEN ELECTRICAL POWER WAS LOST THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING WOULD STOP FUNCTIONING CAUSING COMPLETE LOSE OF STEERING. THIS CAUSED ME TO CROSS INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE ONCOMING LANE. THE DEALER FOUND A WIRE GOING TO THE ALTERNATOR THAT HAD WORN THROUGH CAUSING AN OVER VOLTAGE CONDITION. THIS CAUSED MANY OF THE SYSTEMS, INCLUDING STEERING, TO SHUT DOWN. IN MY RESEARCH THIS IS NOT THE ONLY OCCURRENCE OF THIS ISSUE. MY VEHICLE HAS 42,000 MILES ON IT. I WOULD GUESS THIS WILL BECOME A MUCH MORE COMMON ISSUE WITH TIME.

MY 20 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT AND WITHOUT ANY PRIOR PROBLEMS OR INDICATION OF A BRAKE ISSUE THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE THE FLOOR BOARD AND THE TRUCK BARELY CAME TO A STOP BEFORE HITTING OTHER VEHICLES IN THE PARKING LOT, AT THIS TIME A WARNING CHIME AND WARNING MESSAGE DISPLAYING LOW BRAKE FLUID APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. SHE HAPPENED TO BE IN THE FORD DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT PICKING THE TRUCK UP FROM MULTIPLE RECALLS BEING PREFORM (NON BRAKE RELATED). SHE PULLED BACK IN THE SERVICE LANE AND ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE, THE SERVICE WRITER WENT AND GOT THE TECHNICIAN TO INSPECTED IT IN THE SERVICE LANE, HE CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND IT WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY CAUSING THE TRUCK TO LOOSE ALL BRAKES. THEY ENDED UP KEEPING THE VEHICLE OVER NIGHT AND INSPECTED IT THE NEXT DAY.. THE TECHNICIAN ADDED MORE BRAKE FLUID TO THE BRAKE RESERVOIR AND TESTED THE TRUCKS BRAKES AND THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER IMMEDIATELY LOST THE BRAKE FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AS THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. NOW BOTH THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,031. FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS IS A WIDELY KNOW PROBLEM WITH 2013 TO 2018 FORD F150S EQUIPPED WITH THE 3.5 LITER ENGINE LIKE WE HAVE. MY DAUGHTER WAS EXTREMELY FORTUNATE SHE WAS DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS THROUGH A PARKING LOT, IF THIS WOULD OF HAPPENED TRAVELING A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED IT COULD OF ENDED U

WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW 30 DEGREES THE DRIVERS DOOR WILL NOT STAY LATCHED/SHUT. CURRENTLY I CANNOT GET INTO MY TRUCK VIA THE DRIVERS DOOR. I REMOTED STARTED THE TRUCK (OUTSIDE TEMP 21 DEGREES) WENT TO LEAVE SO I UNLOCKED THE DOOR, GOT INTO THE TRUCK AND ATTEMPTED TO SHUT THE DOOR AND IT WOULD NOT LATCH. I PULLED THE DOOR SHUT AND HIT THE LOCK BUTTON AND THE DOOR LATCHED. I FORGOT SOMETHING IN MY HOUSE SO I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH, I PUSHED IT SHUT AND HIT THE LOCK BUTTON AND WENT IN MY HOUSE. CAME OUT AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN EVEN AFTER BEING UNLOCKED. REAR PASSENGER DOOR IS ALSO THE SAME WAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES

REAR WINDOW SHATTERED AFTER REAR DEFROST WAS ON AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES

WHILE EXITING THE INTERSTATE, MAKING A HARD SWOOPING LEFT HAND TURN, MAKE TRUCK SHUTDOWN COMPLETELY. AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH AND TURNING, I SUDDENLY HAD TO FIGHT THE LACK OF POWER STEERING. AS SOON AS I FELT IT STOP IT POWERED BACK UP. THIS ISSUE CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COME TO A STOP.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND NOTICED NO REACTION AND MY PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO SLOW THE TRUCK. I WAS REALLY LUCK THERE WERE NO CARS TO MY RIGHT BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER ALL THIS I GOT A MESSAGE FOR 'LOW BRAKE FLUID'. I PASSED 6 CARS TILL I CAME TO A STOP.

THE TRUCK WAS SET ON CRUISE CONTROL WHEN I ACCELERATED TO PASS A MOVING VEHICLE ON A FREEWAY. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP ACCELERATING WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL; I HAD TO BREAK HARD TO CONTROL THE SPEED. AS SOON AS I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BREAK, THE CAR ENGINE REVVED UP AGAIN AND QUICKLY ACCELERATED FROM 70 TO 96 MPH EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO IDLE AT A HIGH SPEED. THE DIAGNOSTIC READER PRODUCED THE ERROR CODE "P068A - ECM/PCM POWER RELAY DE-ENERGIZED PERFORMANCE - TOO EARLY". I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. TO FIX THE ISSUE, A NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED.

ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON THE DASHBOARD SUCH AS THE COLLISION DETECTION BEING DISABLED AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL HAS BEEN DISABLED. AS SOON AS THESE WARNINGS APPEAR, THE TRUCK'S ACCELERATION IS DISABLED AND IT WILL COAST TO STOP, BUT HE TRUCK IS STILL RUNNING. IT REMAINS IN A LOW IDLE THAT IS VERY ROUGH, VIBRATING THE ENTIRE TRUCK LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO KILL THE ENGINE, BUT BARELY KEEPING THE IDLE HIGH ENOUGH TO KEEP IT GOING. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO, BUT TRY TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. ONCE STOPPED, YOU CAN PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON. SOMETIMES ONLY ONE RESTART IS REQUIRED, BUT SOMETIMES IT WILL DO THE SAME THING AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER YOU BEGIN DRIVING AGAIN. THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THIS CAN HAPPEN IN AN INTERSECTION, HIGHWAY, OR FREEWAY. THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN THIS IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE CONTACT CONNECTED A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL TO THE VEHICLE AND THE FAILURE CODE INDICATED THAT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD DID NOT OPEN BANK NUMBER TWO. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE AND WRENCH ICON INDICATORS ILLUMINATED, WHICH INSTRUCTED THE DRIVER TO CALL THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BUTLER COUNTY FORD (400 S MAIN ST, BUTLER, PA 16001, (724) 287-2766) WHERE IT WAS NOTICED THAT RODENTS CHEWED THROUGH THE WIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WE SMELLED SMOKE AND MY BACK SLIDING WINDOW SHATTERED AND BLEW OUT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULDN'T GIVE A COMPLETE ESTIMATE. CALLED FORD CORP AND OF COURSE THEY ARE DRAGGING THEIR FEET. THE REAR DEFROST WASN'T EVEN ACTIVATED AT THE TIME THAT IT SHORTED OUT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND IT HAS BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE WITH FORDS FOR YEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS USED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN AND THE LOW BRAKE FLUID INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUMMERVILLE FORD (843-873-3550, LOCATED AT 9700 DORCHESTER RD, SUMMERVILLE, SC 29485) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED, BUT THE CONTACT DID NOT SPEAK WITH ANYONE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 31,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.
