2017 Ford F-150 complaints

AT COLD START, THE VEHICLE MAKES A VERY LOUD RATTLING NOISE. MOST LIKELY THE TIMING CHAIN AND TENSIONERS WHICH FORD IS VERY MUCH AWARE OF ON THESE ECOBOOST ENGINES.

WHILE COMING TO A STOP IN TRAFFIC MY 2017 FORD F-150 XL 5.0L STARTED BRAKING NORMALLY WITH SOLID PEDAL FEEL. HOWEVER, AS I CONTINUED BRAKING AND APPLYING MORE PRESSURE TO STOP THE PEDAL SUDDENLY BECAME VERY SOFT AND WENT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO RELEASE THE PEDAL AND REAPPLY THE BRAKES. AGAIN, THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTED OUT NORMAL AND THEN WENT SOFT AGAIN AS MORE PRESSURE WAS APPLIED AND I HAD TO VEER TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID REAR ENDING A STOPPED VEHICLE. LUCKILY NO COLLISION OCCURRED. THE BRAKES CONTINUED ACTING THIS WAY UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO CAREFULLY DRIVE IT TO A FORD SERVICE CENTER. THIS OCCURRED ON BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR TRYING TO SLOW DOWN SUDDENLY DUE TO TRAFFIC. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN FOR REPAIR AT A FORD SERVICE CENTER.

GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM 4WD HUBS, LOCKING HUBS ARE ENGAGING DURING OPERATION AT CRUISING SPEED 20-35 MILE PER HOUR. IN 2WD, DRIVING MY VEHICLE, AT NO GIVEN TIME A GRINDING NOISE WILL ANNOUNCE ITSELF AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE 2WD/4WD HUBS. I BELIEVE WITH THIS ISSUE IF THE 4WD OFFICIALLY ENGAGES WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE FATAL INJURY AND DAMAGE MAY OCCUR AND CAN CAUSE OPERATOR TO LOOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE CAUSING A CRASH AND OR DEATH.

DIGITAL CLUSTER MALFUNCTION, CAUSING SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE TO BOTH DISPLAY ZERO, LOSS OF POWER TO WINDOWS, LOSS OF PARKING BRAKE FUNCTION, BLACKED OUT BACKUP CAMERA, NO HEAT OR A/C. HIGHBEAMS STAY ON AND CANNOT BE SWITCHED TO LOW BEAMS. ALL HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH.

WHILE TOWING WITH MY 2.7 ECOBOOST THE ENGINE STALLS AND DIES AFTER RUNNING ON HIGHWAY AND PULLING IN TO STOP(USUALLY AT A GAS STATION). IT STARTS BACK UP BUT DIES WHEN PUT IN GEAR. I CAN ONLY GET IT TO RUN BY REVVING THE ENGINE AND QUICKLY PUTTING IT IN GEAR AND GIVING IT GAS QUICKLY. IT SEEMS TO ONLY DO THIS WHEN TOWING.

TRUCK LOST POWER STEERING ASSIST WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE. AND THEN I GOT MESSAGE HILL START ASSIST FAILURE, ADVANCE TRAC FAILURE, ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE FAILURE, AND ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE. ALL THIS WHILE IN MOTION AT INTERSTATE SPEED.

REAR SLIDING GLASS WINDOW TRACE COMING APART FROM REAR WINDOW CAUSING REAR SLIDE TO FALL INSIDE THE CAP OF THE TRUCK AND FORD SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME HE HAS SEEN THIS ON 5 OTHER TRUCKS THIS MONTH.

THIS IS WHILE STATIONARY, CAR ON OR OFF. WHEN THE DOORS ARE LOCKED AND THE PASSENGERS WANT TO GET OUT OF THE CAR, THEY ARE UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. ONLY WAY FOR THEM TO OPEN THE DOOR IS FOR THE PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT TO PRESS THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE DOOR. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT ACTS LIKE A PERMANENT CHILD LOCK. WHEN TAKING THE CAR TO THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND CALLING 1(800) TO MAKE A CLAIM, THEY SAID THAT IS HOW THE CAR IS ENGINEERED. EVERYONE FROM FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE 1800 NUMBER ALL AGREED THAT IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. EXAMPLE 1: IF THE CAR IS LOCKED WHILE DRIVING AND THERE IS A CRASH, AND THE DRIVER GETS KNOCKED OUT AND THERE IS SOMEONE IN THE BACK SEAT, THE ONLY WAY FOR THEM TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IS TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN AND CLIMB OUT. THEY CANNOT GET OUT BY OPENING THE DOOR HANDLE, THEY HAVE NO UNLOCK BUTTON, THEY'RE ONLY HOPE IS FOR THE WINDOW TO ROLL DOWN OR BREAK THE WINDOW. EXAMPLE 2: THIS ONE ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO US. MY DAD WAS DRIVING WITH MY NEPHEW AND BROTHER IN LAW IN THE BACK SEAT. THEY GET PULLED OFF THE ROAD BY A CRAZY DRIVER. THE CRAZY DRIVER GETS OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND CONFRONT MY OLD FATHER AND STARTS TO THREATEN HIM. MY BROTHER IN LAW WHO WAS IN THE BACK SEAT WITH MY NEPHEW WAS TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE CAR TO HELP MY DAD BUT HE COULD NOT BECAUSE MY DAD DID NOT PRESS THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE DRIVER DOOR THUS FORCING MY BROTHER IN LAW TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN AND CRAWL OUT. WHEN HE DID THIS, HE GOT HIS FOOT CAUGHT AND ENDED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED REMOTELY AND THE CONTACT SMELT BURNING PLASTIC. WHEN THE CONTACT ENTERED THE VEHICLE, THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED BOTH OUTWARD AND INWARD WITH SOME GLASS ON THE BACKSEAT. THE CONTACT EXITED AND EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND HE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AS A PRECAUTION. THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING WITH THE HOOD OPEN WAITING TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER (HANNA MOTORS 371 HUME ST, COLLINGWOOD ON L9Y 1W5 705-445-4300). THE CONTACT LIVES IN THE US AND WAS VISITING RELATIVES IN CANADA. THE CONTACT MENTIONED JUST GETTING THE VEHICLE'S WINDOW REPAIRED BY A GLASS INSURANCE COMPANY WAS DIFFICULT AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

LIKE MANY, MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE 3.5L V6 ECOBOOST F150 I'M EXPERIENCING A RATTLE NOISE WHEN I START MY VEHICLE. THE NOISE ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTS, AND ONLY LASTS FOR A FEW SECONDS. ONLINE RESEARCH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT'S RELATED TO THE TIMING CHAIN AND TIMING CHAIN COMPONENTS. AT JUST 41K MILES, I'M BARELY PAST THE FACTORY WARRANTY PERIOD AND WILL LIKELY BE FORCED TO PAY UPWARDS OF $4,000 FOR REPAIRS. HERE IS A LINK TO A YOUTUBE VIDEO THAT CAPTURES THE SAME NOISE/ISSUE I'M EXPERIENCING: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/BVS16U_UXMW

BRAKES EXTREMELY PEDAL SPONGE TO THE FLOOR. EXTREME BRAKE STOPPAGE. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND WAS ABLE TO STOP SLOWLY ON CITY STREET. I SENT IT BACK TO A NEAR HOME TO STAY. EXTREMELY CLOSE TO COLLISION. NO DAMAGES. REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER TO REPAIR CENTER. DEALERSHIP WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AFTER TOWING FOR MORE THAN 300 MILES THE ENGINE WILL DIE EVERY TIME I COME TO A SLOW DOWN OR STOP. IT WILL RESTART ONLY TO INSTANTLY DIE AGAIN UNLESS THE THROTTLE IS PRESSED REVVING THE ENGINE AND DROPPING IT INTO DRIVE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY TOWING AT BUSY INTERSECTIONS WHEN STALLING OUT CAN LEAD TO GETTING T-BONED. THIS ONLY HAPPENS TOWING AND NEVER GIVES A CODE SO FORD SAYS THEY CAN'T FIX WHAT THEY CAN'T SEE.

WE WERE STOPPED AT A SIGNAL ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD LEAVING US IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION UNABLE TO ESCAPE THE HEAVY TRAFFIC. A TOW TRUCK PUSHED US OFF THE ROAD UNTIL WE COULD BE TOWED. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A FAULTY STARTER (TRUCK HAS ECOBOOST). I CONTACTED FORD VIA CHAT, AND THEY BASICALLY DID NOTHING. OUR LIVES WERE AT RISK AND THEY NEED TO HAVE THEIR STARTERS IN ECOBOOST VEHICLES INVESTIGATED. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO MAKE A VEHICLE THAT CAN FOR NO REASON JUST STOP DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF A ROAD THROUGH NO FAULT OF OURS.

AT 31K MILES I STARTED TO GET A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE RIGHT SIDE REAR. TOOK IT TO DEALER, THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID IT WAS DUE TO PLAY IN THE AXLE BEARING. THEY SAID FORD TOLD THEM NOT TO TOUCH IT BECAUSE IT WAS AN INHERENT CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. I CALLED FORD AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AND FORD TOLD THEM THERE IS NO PROBLEM. WHEN THE TRUCK FLEXES ( GOES OVER UNEVEN ROADS ) IT SOUNDS LIKE ROCKS ARE BOUNCING AROUND THE BED. I WAS TOLD BY FORD THAT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO ALL TRUCKS, JUST SOME. THE DEALERS HANDS ARE TIED. FORD WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM.

I WAS ON A HIGHWAY IN RAIN ON CRUISE CONTROL APPROACHING AN OFF RAMP. MY SPEED WAS 72 MPH AS SET BY CRUISE CONTROL. I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO DISENGAGE AND SLOW FOR THE OFF-RAMP WHICH IS SHARP. AS I APPROACHED I STARTED TO APPLY MORE BRAKE PRESSURE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN ACCELERATING AS I WAS GOING INTO THE TURN. I STOMPED ON THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR REPEATEDLY WHILE STILL ACCELERATING. I NAVIGATED THE TURN AT HIGH SPEED WITH THE BACK END BREAKING LOOSE AND FISH TAILING.

I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY SITTING STATIONARY IN MY VEHICLE BUCKLING UP TO DEPART FOR THE STORE. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PUSH THE START BUTTON. AFTER STARTING I MOVED THE SHIFT LEVER TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN GEAR AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ROLL AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. BECAUSE MY DRIVEWAY HAS A SLIGHT RAMP TO IT THE VEHICLE KEPT ROLLING FORWARD, I KEPT HITTING THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL KEPT GOING TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. AS A RESULT I ROLLED INTO A BLOCK FENCE ACROSS FROM MY DRIVEWAY KNOCKING IT DOWN AND DAMAGING MY VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS JUST ROLLING UNDER ITS OWN MOMENTUM, NO POWER TO THE DRIVE TRAIN. NO INJURIES, BUT FENCE WAS DOWN AND VEHICLE HOOD AND OTHER FRONT END AREAS WERE DAMAGED. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THE BRAKES TO FAIL.

WHILE ACCELERATING MY 2017 FORD RAPTOR 3.5 ECOBOOST I NOTICE A LOUD CHIRPING NOISE COMING FROM PASSENGER SIDE. CAUSED BY A WARPED AND LEAKING EXHAUST MANIFOLD.

THE F-150 WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY AND I NOTICED THAT THE REAR WINDOW WAS IN THE PROCESS OF SHATTERING AND FALLING OUT. THERE WAS A BULGE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND GLASS HAD FALLEN OFF THE EDGE ABOUT THREE QUARTERS OF THE WAY AROUND THE WINDOW. TEMPERATURE WAS 88 WITH CLOUDS AND THE TRUCK WAS IN THE SHADE. I OPENED THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR AND THE COMPLETE REAR WINDOW, EXCEPT THE SLIDING WINDOW(ELECTRICALLY OPERATED) WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. AS I SHUT THE REAR DOOR, GLASS STARTED FALLING OUT OF THE BULGED AREA, I CALLED ALL STAR FORD IN KILGORE, TX, WHO SOLD THE TRUCK TO ME AND THEY WERE NO HELP. I HAD THE EXTENDED WARRENTY, BUT GLASS IS NOT COVERED.

VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ITS ABILITY TO MONITOR THE BLINDSPOT TRAFFIC THE STABILITY AND TRACTION CONTROL WENT OFF TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FIELD ALONG WITH THE AIRBAG AND SEATBELT RESTRAINT. TAKE HIM TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A WIRE THAT RUNS BETWEEN THE SPARE TIRE AND BUMPER A TRAILER HITCH ASSEMBLY THAT OFTEN CHAFFS. THEY HAD REPLACE MANY RECENTLY. THE LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL HAPPENS TO ME DURING A RAIN STORM AND CAUSED ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. WHILE I REGAINED CONTROL AND PREVENTED HITTING A GUARD RAIL, IT WAS SERIOUS. THIS IS NO FAULT OF MY OWN IT'S AN INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY ISSUE, AND SAFETY CONCERN. AS A 1ST RESPONDER I DEPEND ON MY TRUCK, AND MUST PAY THE $500 TO REPAIR A BAD WIRING INSTALLATION ON A 2017 TRUCK, THAT COULD HAVE COST ME MY LIFE. *TR

THE FIRE LOOKED LIKE IT STAYED NEAR THE ROOF OF THE CAB AND ORIGINATE FROM BOTH CENTER PODIUM SEAT BELT MOUNTS. BOTH SEAT BELT MOUNTS ATTACHED TO THE REAR DOORS FOR THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER HAD EXTREME AMOUNTS OF HEAT ORIGINATING FROM THAT AREA. THE PLASTIC AROUND BOTH THESE AREAS HAS COMPLETELY MELTED AWAY AND CAUGHT FIRE TO NEARBY WORK ITEMS ON THE BACKSEAT BENCH. SMOKE DAMAGED EVERYTHING INSIDE THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE. SMOKE COVERED ALL WINDOWS AND EVERYTHING INSIDE THE CAB. VEHICLE ELECTRIC SYSTEM STILL FUNCTIONS FOR LOCKING AND UNLOCKING DOORS.
