2016 Ford F-150 complaints

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO AN APPOINTMENT I MADE WITH PRESTIGE FORD 17701 U.S. HWY 441, MT. DORA, FLORIDA 32756 FOR SAFETY RECALL 17V-652. I MADE AN APT. TO HAVE IT FIXED DEC. 24, @ 12:30. I ARRIVED A FEW MINUTES EARLY SIGNED PAPERWORK AND SAID I'D WAIT. ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER I WAS TOLD THEY WILL NOT FIX IT UNTIL IT MALFUNCTIONS. I ASKED THE GUY WHY WAS I GIVEN AN APT? HIS RESPONSE WAS IT WASN'T HIM. I TOLD HIM I GOING TO LAKE PLACID IN FEB. AND WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE DOORS FREEZING. HE SAID IF THEY DO THEN I CAN GET IT FIXED. SO I SAID I'M SUPPOSE TO BE STRANDED IN THE NORTH COUNTRY AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET IN MY TRUCK. ARE YOU PEOPLE FOR REAL? I WANT TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH YOUR AGENCY. I'VE ATTACHED PHOTOS BELOW OF THE WORK TICKET AND, GET THIS, A EMAIL THE DEALERSHIP SENT ME SAYING SORRY YOU MISSED YOUR APPOINTMENT. NO SORRY YOU DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM!

WE JUST TOOK MY 2016 F150 ECOBOOST TO WEST TEXAS OVER THANKSGIVING. TOWED UNDER 7500 LBS. TOWED COMPLETELY NORMAL THE WHOLE TIME (15 HOURS) UNTIL THE RETURN TRIP HOME. ABOUT 2.5 HOURS INTO MY RETURN TRIP (I WAS TOWING WITHOUT MY HUSBAND AND WITH TWO YOUNG KIDS ON A BACK HIGHWAY WITH NO CELL SERVICE AND ABSOLUTELY NO STOPS FOR 2 OF THOSE HOURS😯) I PULLED OVER TO SEE WHERE MY NEXT GAS STATION WAS AND MY TRUCK DIED. IT WOULD RESTART BUT WOULD DIE AGAIN. I FINALLY FIGURE I'M SCREWED, I'LL TRY AND JUST HIT THE GAS AND GO. SO I TOOK OFF AND BLEW THROUGH A STOP SIGN AND DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I REACHED A GAS STATION, WHERE IT DIED WHEN I STOPPED.. IT WAS SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND ALL THE REPAIR SHOPS WERE CLOSED AND THERE WEREN'T ANY PARTS STORES OPEN. I FINALLY UNPLUGGED THE CAMPER, THINKING IT WAS DRAINING MY BATTERY AND STARTED IT UP AND GASSED IT TO GET IT GOING AND DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I REACHED SONORA AND CAMPED FOR THE NIGHT, ABOUT 20 MILES AWAY. AND THEN MY TRUCK WAS TOTALLY FINE AFTER THAT. I NEVER HOOKED THE CAMPER BACK UP AND I HAD FILLED UP THE GAS TANK AND PUT FUEL INJECTION CLEANER INTO THE TANK AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY MORE STALLS. THE ONLY LIGHT THAT CAME ON WHEN IT STALLED WAS THE BATTERY LIGHT.

WHEN TEMPERATURE GOES BELOW FREEZING, 32F DOOR WILL NOT LATCH AND STAY SHUT. HAPPENS CONSISTENTLY IN SUB 32F TEMPERATURES.

BRAKES HAVE FAILED ON MY 2016 F150. THE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR HAS BEEN VERY LOW TWICE IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS. I FILLED IT COMPLETELY, TO FULL LINE, TWICE.

F150 FROZEN DOOR LATCHES. DURING WEATHER TEMPERATURES BELOW 30 DEGREES F, THE DOORS UNLOCK AND OPEN BUT DO NOT LATCH WHEN YOU TRY TO CLOSE THE DOOR. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE TRUCK IS STATIONARY, AND HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN IT HAPPENS, I SOMETIMES I HAD TO DRIVE TO WORK WHILE HOLDING THE DRIVER'S DOOR CLOSED WITH 1 HAND AND STEERING WITH THE OTHER. OTHER TIMES PUSHING DOWN ON THE LOCK ROD AND CLOSING THE DOOR WILL HOLD IT CLOSED. AFTER A 25 MINUTE DRIVE, THE LATCHES THAW OUT AND WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON ALL 4 DOORS OF THE TRUCK. I'VE HAD THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES DURING THE PAST 2 WINTERS WHILE THEY ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. I HAD THE RECALL (TSB 16-0155) DONE AND THE PROBLEM CAME BACK 3 DAYS LATER. WHEN I CALLED TO REPORT THAT THIS DIDN'T SOLVE THE ISSUE, I WAS INSTRUCTED TO CALL FORD AND OPEN A CASE NUMBER. I OPENED CASE NUMBER "CAS-(XXXXX)" BUT I DIDN'T GET ANY FOLLOW UP FROM FORD. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO CALL MY SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHO TOLD ME THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX. I HAD THE LATEST RECALL (18N03) DONE ON NOVEMBER 28, 2018 AND THE PROBLEM CAME BACK ON DECEMBER 19, 2018. I REPORTED THIS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL CONTACT FORD AND GET BACK TO ME. I'VE LOST MY CONFIDENCE IN FORD REGARDING THIS ISSUE. 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

LUG NUTS EXPANDING. LUG NUT OEM WRENCH SIZE IS 21MM. LUG NUTS HAVE EXPANDED TO 22MM AND A LITTLE BEYOND. I UNDERSTAND OEM LUG NUTS ARE A TWO PIECE DESIGN. I HAVE SOME LUG NUTS THAT ARE "FREE SPINNING." MEANING ONE OF THE PIECES IS LOOSE FROM THE OTHER AND JUST SPINS WITHOUT THE ENTIRE LUG NUT COMING OFF THE BOLT. I HAVE HAD ONE LUG NUT COME OFF OF TIRE. UP UNTIL TODAY THE FACTORY AND FORD DEALERSHIP ARE THE ONLY PERSONAL TO TOUCH MY WHEELS. THE DEALER COMMENDED I PURCHASE AFTER MARKET LUG NUTS TO SOLVE PROBLEM, WHICH THEY ARE DOING ALSO. AS OF TODAY MY VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 44K MILES ON IT. EARLIER THIS YEAR THE DEALER STATED I KEEP AN EYE ON THE LUG NUTS BECAUSE THEY WERE SHOWING SIGN OF EXPANDING

THIS MORNING I TURNED ON MY VEHICLE ( IT WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY) TO WARM IT UP. I PROCEEDED TO USE THE REAR DEFROSTER BECAUSE THERE WAS SOME FROST ON THE REAR WINDSHIELD. FIVE MINUTES LATER I HEARD A LOUD POP AND WHEN I LOOKED BACK THE REAR WINDSHIELD WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. I I I BELIEVE THIS WAS A RESULT OF A MALFUNCTION WITH THE WIRING OF THE REAR WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER OR THE REAR WINDSHIELD ITSELF.

SINCE BUYING THIS TRUCK I'VE BEEN HAVING DRIVELINE VIBRATIONS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VIBRATIONS HAPPEN WHEN FROM A COMPLETE STOP I WOULD ACCELERATE AND HAVE VIBRATIONS THAT WOULD CAUSE THE TRUCK TO SHAKE. THE CONDITIONS OF THE ROAD WERE NORMAL AND AND TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES ON DIFFERENT PAVEMENTS TO SEE IF IT MIGHT BE THE ROAD CONDITIONS BUT IT WASN'T. THE VIBRATIONS IS MAINLY BETWEEN THE 5-15 MILE PER HOUR RANGE. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS AND THAT IT WAS TOTALLY NORMAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE REAR WINDSHIELD EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TALLAHASSEE FORD LINCOLN (850)878-4855, LOCATED AT 243 N MAGNOLIA DR, TALLAHASSEE, FL 32301) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR DEFOGGER OVERHEATED AND CAUSED THE REAR WINDSHIELD TO EXPLODE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,500. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

I HIT SOME ICE ON THE INTERSTATE AND LOST CONTROL. I RAN OFF THE ROAD DOING BETWEEN 45 & 50 MPH. I WENT DOWNHILL FOR AROUND 100 YARDS AND HIT A TREE. THE TREE CENTERED THE BUMPER AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

DOOR LATCHES ARE INOPERABLE IN TEMPS BELOW 30F. DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED AND/OR LATCHED CLOSED. TWO FORD RECALLS TO REMEDY THE ISSUE HAVE FAILED TO WORK SUCCESSFULLY ON EVERY DOOR. THIS MAKES THE TRUCK EITHER COMPLETELY INOPERABLE BECAUSE I CANT GAIN ENTRY OR A SAFETY HAZARD IF DOORS CANNOT BE LATCHED CLOSED. I ALSO FEAR NOT BEING ABLE TO GET MYSELF, OR WORSE, MY CHILDREN OUT OF THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY.

WAS IN NEUTRAL AND BEING PULLED THROUGH TOUCHLESS CAR WASH. PRIOR TO PUTTING IN GEAR TO PULL AWAY I HEARD A LOUD BANG. AFTER LOOKING IN REAR MIRROR SEEN MY WINDOW ALL SPIDERED. AFTER I PULLED OUT THE BOTTOM PORTION OF WINDOW FELL AS THE UPPER PORTION REMAINED. THIS SEEMS TO SPONTANEOUSLY HAPPEN FOR NO REASON TO THE F150. I'M PAYING $412 OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE REPAIRED. I REACHED OUT TO FORD AND WAITING FOR RESPONSE. I BELIEVE THE REAR GLASS HAS A DEFECT IN THE MAKING AND CAUSES A SERIOUS RISK TO DRIVERS THAT MAY GET STARTLED WHEN DRIVING AND SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS. I HAVE COPY OF ACCIDENT REPORT FROM GAS STATION AND PICTURE OF DAMAGE. NO POLICE REPORT.

THE COMPLETE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT OUT. THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED WERE THE HEAD LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS THE DEALER FIXED IT BUT DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT. ON A HIGHWAY ABOUT 40 MPH

I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK TO DEALER FOR MANY MULTIPLE ISSUES INVOLVING ELECTRICAL SINCE APPROXIMATELY 6600 MILES BEGINNING WITH SHAKING WHEN I SLOWED DOWN WITHOUT UTILIZING BRAKES. SINCE THEN I'VE BEEN AT THE DEALER WITH MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHERE TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND ALL LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING AND VERY UNSAFE. WHEN I WOULD ATTEMPT TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN I WOULD PROCEED TO CROSS OPPOSING LANES AND VEHICLE WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND ALMOST WAS STRUCK ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. VEHICLE HAS ALSO OVER ACCELERATED VERY EARLY IN OWNERSHIP. MOST RECENTLY AND I PICKED UP MY TRUCK AND A WEEK LATER SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT CREATE A GREAT DANGER TO MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHER MOTORISTS. CERTAINLY I CANNOT BE THE ONLY PERSON WHO LITERALLY AS OF THE FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER 2015 RECEIVED MY ORDERED TRUCK AND NOW AFTER 3 YEARS HAS HAD SO MANY CLOSE CALLS WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE. ALL TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATIONAL AND RUNS VERY ROUGH PRIOR TO HAPPENING. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND VIDEO THE TRUCKS CAMERA AND OTHER ITEMS GOING ON AND OFF DURING OPERATION. THE TRUCK HAS SEVER ELECTRICAL DEFICIENCIES AND THE ENGINE HAS SEVERE RESPONSE ISSUES THAT PUTS MY LIFE. MY PASSENGERS LIVES AND THE OTHER MOTORIST AT GREAT RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH. I AM UNABLE TO SUPPLY ALL THE DATES IN THE ONE SPACE PROVIDED. BUT HAVE ALL VIDEO AND PAPERWORK FROM ALL THE TIMES AND DATES FROM DEALERSHIP.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM. FORD HAS NOT MADE AVAILABLE AN UPDATED NAVIGATION MAP FOR THE 2016-2018 F150, EXPEDITION AND PROBABLY OTHER VEHICLES INCLUDING LINCOLN THAT I AM NOT AWARE OF. THE DEALERS SEEM TO BE IN THE DARK ABOUT THIS SUBJECT AND NO WORD FROM FORD EITHER. I HAVE HAD TO QUIT USING MY NAV SYSTEM FOR FEAR THAT IT WILL DIRECT ME TO A STREET THAT HAS BEEN REMOVED DUE TO NEW CONSTRUCTION OR THROUGH AN UNSAFE PART OF TOWN WHEN NEWER SAFER OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I WOULD LOOK AT MY NAV SCREEN AND IT LOOKED LIKE I WAS DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIELD WITH NO ROADS AROUND ME. IT'S AN UNSETTLING FEELING WHEN DRIVING THRU A STRANGE TOWN AT NIGHT. THIS ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE FORD FORUMS AND I THINK MANY OF US WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS ;OUT AND HURT OR WORSE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AND IT HAPPENS ANYWHERE THERE HAS BEEN NEW CONSTRUCTION OR DEMOLITION. IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY AT ALL SPEEDS, IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE THE DAY THE TRUCK WENT INTO SERVICE 5/30/16. IT WAS DELIVERED WITH AN OUT DATED NAV MAP.YOU SEE THIS ON THE NEWS FROM TIME TO TIME WHERE THE NAV/GPS SENDS SOMEONE THE WRONG DIRECTION AND SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO THEM. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. I AM SURE THERE ARE THOUSANDS, OR 10'S OF THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM.

THE BACK GLASS SHATTERED. I WARMED THE TRUCK UP EARLIER USING MY REMOTE START. I GOT INTO THE TRUCK AND FORGOT MY PHONE, I THEN EXITED THE TRUCK AND CLOSED THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND I HEAD A NOISE. THE GLASS EXPLODED BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. THERE WAS GLASS EVERYWHERE. AFTER RESEARCHING, I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OTHER SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE BACK GLASS. THE TRUCK WAS IN PARK AND IN OUR DRIVEWAY. THE QUOTE FROM THE FORD DEALER IS $750.

TAILGATE WONT UNLOCK WHEN TEMP IS FREEZING. I'M READING THAT MANY FORD OWNERS FROM, 2015 THROUGH 2017 HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. HERE IS WHAT I FOUND AND THE PART NUMBER FOR THE FIX. SOME 2015-2017 F-150 VEHICLES BUILT ON OR BEFORE 28-NOV-2016 EQUIPPED WITH A MECHANICAL TAILGATE HANDLE AND REMOTE CONTROL TAILGATE LOCK MAY EXHIBIT A TAILGATE THAT WILL NOT OPEN DURING FREEZING TEMPERATURES DUE TO A FROZEN TAILGATE LATCH CONTROL ASSEMBLY. TO CORRECT THIS CONCERN INSTALL A REVISED TAILGATE LATCH CONTROL ASSEMBLY PART NUMBER FL3Z-9943170-E

THE FORD F-150 2016 HAVE A SERIOUS FLAW IN SAFETY FEATURE. THE WINDOWS WILL NOT RAISE OR LOWER UNLESS THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS CAN'T BE PAINTED IN THIS EMAIL AS OPPOSED TO THE REAL LIFE POTENTIAL OF BEING TRAPPED IN A TRUCK AND THE ONLY WAY OUT WOULD BE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS. IN THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES THE ENGINE MAY NOT START THEREFORE GIVING THE POTENTIAL TO BE TRAPPED IN A FORD TRUCK THAT COULD BE ON FIRE DUE TO A CRASH. I DARE NOT TRY TO ILLUSTRATE ALL THE POSSIBLE REASONS OF HOW DANGEROUS THIS SAFETY FLAW IN THE FORD IS BUT THE GIVEN FACT IS ALL AUTO MAKERS HAVE FAILED BY SELLING VEHICLES THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. ON MOST FORD VEHICLES THE TECHNOLOGY EXISTS FOR THIS FEATURE TO BE INSTALLED. THE INSTALL PROGRAM IS NAMED GLOBAL WINDOW. THE GLOBAL WINDOW INSTALL OPERATES WITH THE KEY FOB EVEN IF THE ENGINE ISN'T RUNNING. THE PROCEDURE FOR THIS TO WORK IS SIMPLY DOUBLE TAP THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB TWICE ON THE SECOND MOTION WHILE DEPRESSING THE UNLOCK BUTTON IT IS TO BE HELD IN THE DOWNWARD POSITION AND THIS ACTION WILL ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN WITHOUT THE ENGINE RUNNING. IN THE ARENA OF SAFETY IT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ANY AUTO MAKER TO PRESENT THE POSSIBILITY OF TRAPPING ANY PERSON OR PERSONS IN A VECHICLE DUE TO WINDOWS NOT WORKING BECAUSE THE ENGINE NOT RUNNING. IN CLOSING I OFFER THIS SCENARIO AUTOMOBILE RUNS OFF A BRIDGE OVER A RIVER OR LAKE,THE VECHICLE SINKS AND THE OCCUPANTS CAN'T OPEN TH

FIRE AND LOTS OF SMOKE INSIDE MY TRUCK WHEN I USED MY REMOTE START INSIDE MY GARAGE ...DROPPED BACK SEAT, PULLED CARPET BACK AND WITNESS AND RECORDED A BURNT WIRE HANGING DOWN ACROSS REAR WINDOW THAT KEPT BURNING AND NEVER STOPPED/POPPED A FUSE OR RELAY UNTIL I SHUT DOWN THE REMOTE START. FORD DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE REAR DEFROSTER THAT AUTOMATICALLY TURNS ON WHEN USING REMOTE START ...REPLACED ENTIRE BACK WINDOW AND WIRE HARNESS SPLIT COST WITH FORD NOT UNDER WARRANTY '.

FOR MORE THAN 6 MONTHS I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET RECALL SERVICE FOR SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 17S33. THE LOCAL DEALER HAS NOT HAD THE PARTS NECESSARY TO DO THE WORK, AND THE LOCAL DEALER'S SERVICE REP SAYS THAT FORD IS NOT SENDING THEM ENOUGH PARTS TO COMPLY WITH THE RECALL.

DOOR LOCKS NOT LATCHING IN COLD WEATHER. DOORS CAN BE OPENED, BUT WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW FREEZING. WORRIED THAT EVEN WHEN LATCHED THEY MAY OPEN WHILE DRIVING

DRIVING DOWN A HILL WITH MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK ON A DIVIDED HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. I WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES FOR AN UPCOMING STOP LIGHT AND THE PEDAL WENT ALMOST COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. AT THE SAME TIME A "BRAKE FLUID LEVEL LOW" ALARM LIGHT TURNED ON IN MY DASH ALONG WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED SYMBOL. I HAD TO QUICKLY SHIFT MY TRANSMISSION TO MANUAL AND DOWN SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION FROM 6TH GEAR ALL THE WAY DOWN TO FIRST GEAR TO BE ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN I CHECKED, THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS BELOW THE MINIMUM (MIN) LEVEL INDICATOR. I LATER FILLED THE RESERVOIR TO THE MAX LINE AND TESTED THE BRAKES. THE "BRAKE FLUID LOW LEVEL" WARNING LIGHT AND THE PARKING BRAKE APPLIED LIGHT WENT AWAY AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL. I TESTED THE BRAKES AND THEY SEEMED TO BE WORKING. I THEN TESTED THE VEHICLE OUT IN A SAFE AREA AND WITHIN MINUTES THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN AND THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. AT THIS TIME I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND REFERRED TO THE FACTORY REPAIR MANUAL TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THERE WERE NO VISIBLE LEAKS FROM ANY OF THE BRAKE COMPONENTS INCLUDING THE CALIPERS, BRAKE LINES OR MASTER CYLINDER. THE MANUAL RECOMMENDED CHECKING TO SEE IF ANY BRAKE FLUID WAS IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS NEARLY HALF FULL OF BRAKE FLUID. AT THIS POINT I REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER AS RECOMMENDED BY THE FACTORY MANUAL. THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH 2013-2016 FORD F-150'S AND THERE HAS BEEN A FACTORY RECALL ON THE 2013-

I WAS TRAVELING STRAIGHT IN MY F-150 ON A MAIN ROAD IN THE 30-40MPH RANGE WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE (2006 CHEVY 2500 PICKUP) DARTED ACROSS TRAFFIC TRYING TO GO FROM ONE PARKING LOT TO ANOTHER. I STRUCK THE OTHER VEHICLE (T-BONED) ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND BACK DOORS. MY FOOT WAS JAMMING THE BRAKES AT THE TIME OF COLLISION. THE IMPACT WAS SIGNIFICANT AND CAUSED A GOOD AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY F-150. THE SEAT BELT ACTUATOR FIRED OFF TO LOCK ME IN PLACE BUT THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW/WHY THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY IN THIS INSTANCE.

THE POWER FOLDING MIRROR BUTTON IS LOCATED DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVERS WINDOW CONTROL, APPROXIMATELY 1/2' AWAY. WHILE IN MOTION, DRIVER CAN HIT MIRROR BUTTON AND CAUSE THEM TO FOLD IN. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED. PER FORWARDS OWN RECOMMENDATIONS, YOU MUST ALLOW THE MIRRORS TO FULLY RETRACTS BEFORE HITTING THE BUTTON TO PLACE THEM BACK IN NORMAL POSITION OTHERWISE, THIS COULD CAUSE ISSUES WITH THE MIRRORS. THIS CAUSES DRIVER TO REMOVE EYE FROM ROAD TO REMEDY SITUATION AS WELL AS NOT HAVING VISIBILITY OF SURROUNDINGS. SOFTWARE UPDATE SHOULD BE PUBLISHED TO DISABLE THE NEAREST FROM BEING ABLE TO BE FOLDED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

MY REAR SEAT DOOR LOCK PULL BUTTONS ON BOTH SIDES WERE NOT SCREWED INTO THE MECHANISM. THIS WOULD NOT ALLOW THE PASSENGER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE BY OVERRIDING THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM IN AN EMERGENCY. I FIXED IT BY SCREWING THE PLASTIC POST INTO THE THREADED MECHANISM.

FORD ISSUED RECALL NOTICE 18S27 IN NOV 2017, I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP 4 TIME IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PARTS OUR ON BACKORDER. WHAT GOOD IS ISSUING A RECALL IF THE PROBLEM CAN NOT BE FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER. FORD IS NOT TAKING THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY.

STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT LOCK WHEN ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND KEY REMOVED.

ON NOVEMBER 15 MORNING I STARTED MY 2016 FORD F-150 WITH REMOTE START TO LET IT WARM UP AND WENT TO GET IN AND PUT THE KEY IN AND I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THE BACK WIDOW SCATTERED

WINDSHIELD WASHER SYSTEM WILL NOT PUMP FLUID AT TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING EVEN WHEN USING WASHER FLUID RATED FOR -30 DEGREES F. I RECENTLY WAS ON A 1.5 HOUR TRIP WITH THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AT ABOUT +20 DEGREES F. I NEEDED TO SPRAY WASHER FLUID ON THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING AND THE LIQUID WOULD NOT PUMP. AFTER ARRIVING AT MY DESTINATION AND PARKING OUTSIDE WITH NO SUN; I WENT TO TRY THE WASHERS AFTER LETTING THE TRUCK SIT FOR 20 MINUTES; THE WASHER WORKED FINE. I PUMPED THE CONTAINER DRY BY REPEATEDLY ACTIVATING THE WASHER TO ATTEMPT TO FLUSH ANY OLD FLUID OUT OF THE SYSTEM. I THEN REFILLED THE WASHER WITH -30 F RATED FLUID AND PUMPED SOME OF THIS THROUGH THE SYSTEM. AFTER LETTING THE TRUCK SIT OVERNIGHT I TRIED USING THE WASHERS WHILE THE OUTDOOR AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT +20F AND AGAIN THE WASHERS WOULD NOT PUMP FLUID. I KNOW THE FLUID IS GOOD, IT IS BRAND NEW AND FROM A REPUTABLE SUPPLIER. THE FLUID IS LIQUID IN THE WASHER FLUID TANK IN THE TRUCK. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE FLUID DISPENSING SYSTEM IN THIS TRUCK. I HAVE ALSO OWNED A 2015 FORD F-150 PICKUP THAT EXHIBITED THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING ON WET WINTER ROADS.

ENGINE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. WITHOUT POWER HAD TO FIND SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD TO NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT WAS GOING STRAIGHT WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON. THE DEALER SAID THE ISSUE WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY.

I WAS DRIVING AND THERE WAS THE SMELL OF BURNING ELECTRONICS AND MY TRUCK CABIN FILLED WITH SMOKE. I PULLED OVER, AND SAW THE DEFROSTER ON THE REAR WINDOW WAS SMOKING. I EXITED THE VEHICLE, OPENED MY DOORS TO LET THE SMOKE OUT, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD AN EXPLOSION LIKE A GUN SHOT AND THE REAR GLASS GLASS SHATTERED.

COOLANT TEMPERATURE TO HIGH WARNING. THIS WARNING CAME UP AFTER MY TRUCK SAT WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN FOR 12 PLUS HOURS. I PUT THE KEY IN IT AND STARTED THE TRUCK TRIED TO DRIVE IT. THE TRUCK WILL NOT GO OVER 15 MILES. THE ACTUAL COOLANT GAUGE IS ON BLUE, THE COOL SIDE, BUT THIS WARNING IS STILL GOING OFF.

2.7 L ECOBOOST COOLING SYSTEM FAILURE. AT 56000 MILES. FORD DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT PROVIDE EXACT DETAILS OR SPECIFIC DIAGNOSIS ON COOLING SYSTEM FAILURE. FORD DEALERSHIP GAVE ME THE ONLY OPTION TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE COOLING SYSTEM.

I HAVE A 2016 FORD F-150 WITH ROUGHLY 40,000 MILES ON IT. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE SINCE SEPTEMBER 16TH, WITH A STEERING ISSUE. THE ELECTRONIC POWER ASSIST STEERING (EPAS) WENT OUT ON THE TRUCK DRIVING HOME FROM COSTCO THAT EVENING WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD SON AND GIRLFRIEND IN THE CAR, I ATTEMPTED TO TAKE A RIGHT TURN AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP ON ME, NEARLY CAUSING US TO CRASH. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO BILL BRANDT FORD IN BRENTWOOD CA, BUT THEY WANTED $170.00 JUST TO DIAGNOSE IT, SO I DECLINED THE SERVICE BECAUSE I HAVE A FRIEND THAT IS A MECHANIC FOR TRI DELTA TRANSIT AND HE WAS ABLE TO DIAGNOSE IT FOR FREE. HE FOUND OUT IT WAS THE EPAS, AND THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE RACK AND PINION, WHICH IS ABOUT A $1,300.00 PART. THIS ISSUE SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON SUCH A NEW VEHICLE, BUT SINCE I AM 4,000 MILES OVER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY FOR THE NEW PART FOR MY TRUCK. THE ISSUE WITH FORD IS, SINCE THE TRUCK IS SO NEW THERE ARE NO OTHER COMPANIES CARRYING THAT PART BESIDES FORD AT THE MOMENT. I CALLED THEIR PARTS SERVICE AROUND SEPTEMBER 20TH TO ORDER THE PART BUT THEY STATED IT WAS ON BACK ORDER UNTIL OCTOBER 9TH AND WERE NOT TAKING ANY ORDERS. I PATIENTLY WAITED UNTIL OCTOBER 9TH AND CALLED BACK TO ORDER IT AND THEY SAID IT HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK TO LATE OCTOBER AND TO CALL BACK AT THE END OF THE MONTH. THIS IS A REAL BIG INCONVIENCE FOR ME ESPECIALLY BEING EMPLOYED AND HAVING A YOUNG CHILD, I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR ALMOST A FULL MO

PURCHASED USED 2016 F-150 IN OCT 2017. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE TAILGATE WOULD RANDOMLY OPEN WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. POWER TAILGATE WOULD ALSO OPEN WHEN KEY FOB WAS USED TO LOCK VEHICLE. TAIL LIGHTS WOULD ALSO ILLUMINATE BRIGHTLY AS IF BRAKES WERE APPLIED WHEN THEY WERE NOT WHEN VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. OTHER TIMES TAIL LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF WHEN VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. WHEN COMPUTER WAS SCANNED NO TROUBLE CODES WERE FOUND. EVENTUALLY AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO BMW DEALERSHIP IN SPOKANE WA WHERE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WENDLE FORD IN SPOKANE WA. AT WENDLE FORD TECHNICIANS FOUND EXTREMELY FRAYED WIRING HARNESS IN AREA AT REAR OF TRUCK WHERE BED AND FRAME MEET. WENDLE TECH'S SAID THAT THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE / DEFECT BEFORE, AND WHEN CHECKING WITH FORD CORPORATE THERE WERE NO SERVICE BULLETINS REFERENCE THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. THIS DESCRIPTION OF EVENTS WAS PROMPTED AFTER READING A NEWS REPORT OF FORD SUPER DUTY TRUCKS EXHIBITING TAIL GATE OPENINGS WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION. ALL SERVICE NOTES AND DOCUMENTATION CAN BE OBTAINED THROUGH WENDLE FORD, SPOKANE WA

THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. HAD NO THROTTLE. PULLED OFF ROAD VEHICLE WAS IDLING ERRATICALLY STILL NO THROTTLE MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS. SHUT VEHICLE OFF, RESTARTED, ALL TROUBLE LIGHTS WERE OFF EXCEPT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. VEHICLE RAN OK FOR A WHILE. THIS HAPPENED 7 MORE TIMES WITHIN 150 MILES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, IF I HAD BEEN IN TRAFFIC I WOULD NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. GOT THE VEHICLE TO FORD. THEY CLEARED ALL THE CODES AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY WANTED ME TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE, I REFUSED. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FIX WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. I PASSED THIS INFO ON TO THE FORD DEALER. THEY REPLACED MY THROTTLE BODY, PROBLEM FIXED. I WAS LUCKY, I HAD 150 MILES LEFT ON MY WARRANTY, MOST OTHERS DIDN'T.

THROTTLE BODY FAILURE ON ENGINE AT 48,526 MILES. WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC ON CITY SURFACE STREETS, DEPRESSED ACCELERATOR, TRUCK BEGAN TO ACCELERATE THEN SUDDENLY STOPPED. VEHICLE WOULD IDLE FORWARD ONLY. RETURNED FAULT CODE OF P2112, ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. REPLACED THROTTLE BODY WITH NEW FORD PART AND VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. UNSAFE VEHICLE CONDITIONS DUE TO SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER IN TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. SUDDEN FAILURE OCCURRED, NO OTHER SIGNS OR SYMPTOMS OF PROBLEMS PRIOR TO INCIDENT.

MOMENTS AFTER TURNING ON MY CAR AND THE HEATER, MY KIDS STARTED COMPLAINING OF A STRONG BURNING SMELL. WE DROVE THE 5 MINUTES TO SCHOOL, THEN I DROVE 5 MINUTES HOME. BY THE TIME I ARRIVED HOME, MY BACK WINDOW WAS CRACKED AND STARTING TO BREAK AND THERE WAS A VERY STRONG BURNING SMELL. YOU COULD ALSO HEAR A CRACKLING SOUND NEAR THE BACK WINDOW. THIS WAS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

THIS MORNING STARTED CAR AND TURNED ON REAR WINDOW DEFROST. LEFT CAR FOR 5 MINUTES TO WARM UP. WHEN I CAME BACK CAB WAS FILLED WITH SMOKE. I CUT ENGION. WHEN SMOKE CLEARED I SAW THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR WINDOW PANELS WERE SMASHED. AFTER GOOGLING THIS IT TURNS OUT TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST MECHANISM OVERHEATS AND SHATTERS WINDOWS.

I WAS TRAVELING ON I-96 HIGHWAY IN MICHIGAN, AND JUST GOT ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS CRUISING ALONG AT ABOUT 70 MPH (TEMP OUTSIDE 75). AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES, I HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT EXPLOSION. I LOOKED BACK AT THE REAR GLASS, AND IT HAD SHATTERED. THE TEMPERED GLASS WAS STILL INTACT HOWEVER IT WAS MAKING A LOUD CRACKLING SOUND. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY IMMEDIATELY AND PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. I TOOK PICTURES OF THE GLASS AND NOTICED IT WAS BILLOWING OUTWARD FROM THE TRUCK, AND THE OUTER EDGES WERE JAGGED AND BROKEN. THERE WAS NO SIGN OF IMPACT BY A ROCK OR ANY OTHER OBJECT THAT COULD HAVE HIT THE GLASS. I DECIDED IT WAS BEST TO GO TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD TO HAVE THE INCIDENT DOCUMENTED. UPON CLOSING MY DOOR TO GET BACK INTO THE TRUCK, 2/3 OF THE SHATTERED GLASS FELL AND SPREAD OUT ALL OVER THE BACK TONNEAU COVER OF THE TRUCK. CLEARLY INDICATING THE PRESSURE OF THE BREAK WENT "OUTWARD" FROM THE TRUCK CABIN. THE FORD DEALER BODY SHOP MANAGER TOOK PICTURES AND TOLD ME HE WOULD FILE A CLAIM ON MY BEHALF WITH FORD. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN WITH LEARNING THAT FORD HAS HAD A PROBLEM FOR YEARS WITH THIS HAPPENING TO THEIR TRUCKS AND SUVS, AND I WANTED THIS INFORMATION PASSED ON TO THE CORPORATE LEVEL. I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE TRUCK SAFELY TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP LOCALLY, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE REPLACED MANY REAR GLASS SECTIONS IN FORD TRUCKS THAT BROKE WITHOUT AN OBJECT IMPACTING IT. I THINK THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL CASE HERE TO BE
