2017 Ford F-150 complaints

THE REAR WINDSHIELD OF MY 2017 F150, HAS RANDOMLY EXPLODED AND SHATTERED INTO A MILLION DIFFERENT PIECES. THIS OCCURRENCE HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES NOW. BOTH TIMES THERE WAS NO EXTERNAL CAUSE FOR THE WINDOW SHATTERING. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED WHILE CLOSING THE DRIVERS DOOR WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED, THE OTHER OCCURRENCE HAD WHILE SIMPLY DRIVING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD. THERE'S NOT EXPLANATION FOR WHY THE REAR WINDSHIELD EXPLODES, NOR IS FORD WILLING TO COVER IT.

MY 2017 FORD F150 HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION, BUT FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS REFUSED TO HONOR THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND WILL NOT AUTHORIZE THE DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR OR REPLACE IT. THE DETAILS OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED ARE DESCRIBED IN ONE OF TWO PDF FILES THAT I WILL ATTACH TO THIS SUBMISSION. I BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING MAY BE WIDESPREAD AND THAT FORD DEALERSHIPS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY MAY BE REFUSING TO REPAIR OR REPLACE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS BECAUSE FORD MOTOR COMPANY WILL NOT AUTHORIZE THEIR DEALERSHIPS TO DO THIS WARRANTED WORK. ONE OF THE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH THE TRANSMISSION IS IN MY OPINION POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AND LETHAL. ON DECEMBER 24, 2019, WHILE MERGING ON TO A BUSY HIGHWAY FROM THE ON-RAMP, WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN SPORT MODE, MY TRUCK DID NOT ACCELERATE AS I ENTERED THE LANE ADJACENT TO THE ON-RAMP. WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE RPM DIAL WENT UP TO ABOUT 6000, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THE SPEED OF MY TRUCK DID NOT INCREASE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME IN THIS LANE TO ALMOST REAR-ENDED ME. HAD THIS OTHER DRIVER NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION AND FAILED TO APPLY HIS OR HER BRAKES, A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. ALTHOUGH THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN VERY COOPERATIVE AND HAS EVEN OFFERED TO REPLACE MY VEHICLE WITH A NEWER AND MORE EXPENSIVE ONE (WHICH I DECLINED), FORD MOTOR COMPANY (WITH WHOM I HAVE TRADED EMAILS ABOUT THIS) APPEARS SO FAR TO BE UNCONCERNED AND CONTENT WITH THE CONCEPT THAT AN APPARENTLY DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION IN AT LEAST ONE

DURING FREEZING WEATHER MY DOOR LATCHES AND LOCKS FREEZE AND BECOME INOPERABLE. SOMETIMES DOORS WON'T UNLATCH. SOMETIMES DOORS I OPEN WON'T LATCH WHEN CLOSED. SOMETIMES DOORS DON'T LOCK WHEN I HAVE USED THE POWER LOCKS THAT SHOULD LOCK ALL DOORS. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED FOR A LENGTH OF TIME IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES. FORDS VOLUNTARY SERVICES ACTION HAS FAILED TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

MY ELECTRIC TAILGATE IS COMING DOWN WITHOUT ME OPENING IT. I WAS HOOKING UP MY SNOWMOBILE TRAILER AND IT CAME DOWN ON MY HEAD. WE HAVE HAD IT OPEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND WITH A TONNEAU COVER YOU DON'T KNOW IT HAS FALLEN. THANKFULLY THE BOYS HAD DOWN HILL SKIS IN BACK THAT DIDN'T FLY OUT AND KILL SOMEONE. I HAVE NOW PULLED THE FUSE BUT THAT INTERFERES WITH OPENING THE DOORS. AND MAKES MY REAR BOX USELESS WITH THE TONNEAU COVER. I HAVE TO PUT THE FUSE BACK IN IN ORDER TO OPEN THE TAILGATE. DETROIT -- FORD IS RECALLING ITS POPULAR F-150 PICKUP TRUCK IN CANADA TO FIX A PROBLEM WITH ELECTRIC TAILGATE LATCHES, BUT IDENTICAL TRUCKS AREN'T BEING RECALLED IN THE U.S.

2017 FORD F-150. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FROZEN DOOR LATCH SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. *JS

WHILE DRIVING AND ACCELERATING A LOUD SCREECHING NOISE WOULD OCCUR. IT WOULD HAPPEN ONCE SPEEDS OF GREATER THEN 30MPH. IT WAS COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WELL. IT TURNS OUT IT WAS A BAD IWE SOLENOID. AFTER DOING RESEARCH THIS IS VERY COMMON AMONG F150S.

TAILGATE OPENS GOING DOWN THE ROAD, TAILGATE OPENS ANYTIME I UNLOCK THE DOORS, AND TAILGATE OPENS WHEN REMOTE IS NEAR TAILGATE WITH NO BUTTONS PUSHED.

F150 WITH ELECTRONIC TAILGATE RELEASE WILL RANDOMLY UNLOCK AND DROP OPEN. THIS IS HAPPENING AT LEAST 50% OF THE TIMES I USE MY TRUCK. I'VE HEARD THE TAILGATE RELEASE BE ACTIVATED WITH MY FOB KEY SETTING ON THE DASH BOARD, NO ONE TOUCHING IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY, 1/10/2020, AND THE SERVICE REP HEARD IT UNLOCK THE TAILGATE WHILE HE WAS HOLDING THE KEY FOB. HE INDICATED THERE IS A RECALL; HOWEVER, IT IS NOT FOR F150'S.. ONLY F250-450'S. WHAT REALLY SCARES ME THERE IS NO WARNING OR NOTIFICATIONS THE TAILGATE HAS DROPPED DOWN AND IS NOW OPEN. I ONLY KNOW WHEN I STOP AND SEE IT DOWN OR THE LOUD STEADY WARNING WHEN I PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE. SO FAR NOTHING HAS FALLEN OUT BUT THIS IS CLEARLY UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED/REPAIRED ASAP BY FORD. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHEN OPERATING ON BOTH CITY ROADS AND HIGHWAYS, ALTHOUGH, I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHEN IT IS UNLOCKED OR DROPS OPEN. THIS PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED IN EARLY DECEMBER; HOWEVER, IT WAS NOT NEARLY AS FREQUENT; NOW IT IS ALMOST EVERY TIME I USE MY TRUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DURING COLD WEATHER, THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR DOORS FAILED TO LATCH SECURELY. AFTER A WHILE THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT AND PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT DOORS EXPERIENCED SIMILAR FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WACONIA FORD SALES, INC.

THE CONTACT ALSO REQUESTED A BUY BACK BY THE MANUFACTURER WHICH WAS DENIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000. *LN *TR

BOUGHT TRUCK DROVE 40 MILES HOME STARTING MAKING TICKING NOISE. CALLED DEALER SAID COMMON PROBLEM TOOK TO DEALERSHIP COUNDNT FINE PROBLEM. TONIGHT THE MOTOR BLEW UP. DEALERSHIP NOT ANSWERING PHONE CALLS. TRUCK ONLY HAS 30000 MILES ON IT. DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO . TECHNICAN SAID HE THOUGHT IT WAS THE CAM PHASERS BUT THEY DIDN'T FIX IT

ARRIVED AT WORK ON 12-23-19 AT 8 AM (WALGREENS PARKING LOT). SHUT MY FRONT DRIVER DOOR AND THE REAR WINDOW OF MY F-150 PICKUP SHATTERED.

THE DOOR LATCHES BECOME INOPERATIVE IN BELOW FREEZING WEATHER AND REQUIRE THE INSIDE OF THE CABIN TO BE HEATED FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES BEFORE THEY WILL WORK. I HAVE HAD BOTH FSA'S COMPLETED BY A FORD DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THIS ISSUE PRESENTS A SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE THE DOORS WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED AND COULD SWING OPEN DURING DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING IN LOCAL SHOPPING CENTER BETWEEN STORE #1 AND STORE #2 APPROXIMATELY DISTANCE OF 300 FEET, THE FRONT OF MY GAS TANK FELL TO THE PAVEMENT WHILE THE REAR OF THE TANK REMAINED. I CONTACTED THE FORD ROADSIDE SERVICE WHICH DISPATCHED A TOW VEHICLE THE TOW DRIVER WAS ABLE TO RAISE THE FRONT ENOUGH TO GET MY TRUCK ONTO THE TOW TRUCK. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED AT 5:15 PM ON 12/21/2019 TEMPERATURE AT 70 DEGREES.

TAILGATE OPEN REPEATEDLY WHILE PARKED WITH TRUCK SHUT OFF. HAS DONE THIS SINCE NEW. YOU CAN HEAR THE LATCH ACTIVATE AND LET THE TAILGATE OPEN. I HAVE LOST THINGS WHEN I DID NOT REALIZE THE TAILGATE WAS OPEN THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT OPENED FIVE TIMES TODAY AFTER SLAMMING IT SHUT AND THEN IT STAYED SHUT UNTIL I GOT HOME WHILE BACKING IN THE DRIVEWAY IT UNLATCHED AND OPENED AGAIN. THE WEATHER TODAY WAS ABOVE FREEZING AND DRY IT HAS BEEN DRY FOR SEVERAL DAYS.

THE STEERING GETS STIFF AFTER STEADY DRIVING OF 80 TO 150 MILES. I HAD IT CHECKED AT A FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON THIS YEAR MODEL FOR THE PARTICULAR PROBLEM. THE DEALER OFFERED NO OTHER EXPLANATION OR SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND ONLY STOPS AFTER THE VEHICLE RESTS FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THE DATES ARE FROM SEPT. 2018 UNTIL NOW. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED FROM ENTERPRISE LEASING.

DOOR LOCKS FROZEN TEMPERATURE WAS 17 DEGREES AND TRUCK WOULD NOT UNLOCK HAD TO LEAVE IT AT WORK. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS BEFORE BUT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET THE DOORS OPEN BUT THEY WOULDN'T LATCH CLOSED

THE DRIVER DOOR STOPS LATCH WILL FREEZE UP AND NOT CLOSE HALF THE TIME WHETHER ITS SITTING STILL OR IN MOTION

I HAD MY 2017 FORD F-150, 22,681 MILES, PARKED AT A KROGER GROCERY STORE. I STARTED THE IGNITION WITH THE KEY FOB AND LOADED MY SON. AFTER I GOT IN I HEARD MY SON COUGHING, SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AND REALIZED THERE WAS BLACK SMOKE WHEN SUDDENLY THE REAR WINDOWS BLEW OUT INCHES FROM HIS HEAD. I NEVER EVEN GOT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I REMOVED MY SON AND CALLED 911. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DISCOVERED THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST WIRE HAD SMOLDERED AND MELTED CAUSING HEAT AND THE COMBUSTION THAT AFFECTED THE WINDOWS IN THE COOL NIGHT TEMP. TOWED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE REAR DEFROSTER CONTACTS HAD COME LOOSE AND WAS THE CAUSE. THEY SUBMITTED PICS AND REPORT TO FORD TO AWAIT A DECISION IF THEY WILL COVER THE DAMAGE.

WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GOES BELOW FREEZING, THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS OPENED ON THEIR OWN AND THE DOOR CHIME SOUNDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DAHL FORD (561 THEATER RD, ONALASKA, WI 54660) WHERE THEY WERE IN THE PROCESS OF REPAIRING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE DOOR LATCHES WERE PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED BY THE SAME DEALER FOUR TIMES PER CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM NUMBER: 18N03 ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: JAS25115054. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,045.

WITHOUT WARNING, BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, PUMPING BRAKES BROUGHT PRESSURE AND WAS ABLE TO STOP. UPON INSPECTION AT BRAKE REPAIR SHOP, MASTER CYLINDER FAILURE WAS IDENTIFIED.

I HAVE 22,500 MILES ON THIS 2017 FORD F150 3.5 ECOBOOST. IT HAS STARTED THROWING A CODE OF PO4DB CRANKCASE DISCONNECT. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND THERE ARE A LOT OF FORD PRODUCTS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS CODE MAKE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND STAY ON. IT APPEARS IT'S IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM, IS MY UNDERSTANDING. SITTING STILL, DRIVING IT DOESN'T MATTER ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON.

AFTER THE AUTO START/STOP FEATURE ENGAGES THE POWER STEERING DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY RETURN. SO WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, STOP SIGN OR LEFT TURN AND THE AUTO START/STOP RESTARTS THE ENGINE WHEN I RELEASE THE BRAKE IT CAN TAKE UP TO 3 SECONDS FOR THE POWER STEERING TO REENGAGE. I HAVE HAD THIS TO THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THIS IS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE DID NOT BEHAVE THIS WAY WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION REQUIRE A RAPID RESTART AND TURN.

TODAY WAS THE WORST OF THE 4 TIMES THAT THIS SAME SITUATION OCCURRED. I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY IN DOWNTOWN ATLANTA WHEN I ACCELERATED AND SWITCHED LANES TO PASS A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE. THE TRUCK ACCELERATED FINE BUT WOULD NOT STOP ACCELERATING WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDDLE. I HAD TO BREAK HARD TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER CAR. AS SOON AS I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BREAK, THE CAR ENGINE REVVED UP AND ACCELERATED FORWARD AGAIN EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT TOUCHING THE GAS. THIS WENT ON FOR ALMOST 5 MINUTES AND WAS VERY SCARY. I COULD HAVE EASILY HAD AN ACCIDENT. AT FIRST, THOUGHT IS WAS THE CRUISE CONTROL KICKING IN BUT IT WAS OFF. EACH OF THE 4 SITUATIONS OCCURRED WHEN TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO MY DEALERSHIP BACK ON AUGUST 12TH WHEN IT HAPPENED THE 3RD TIME. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I KNOW THERE IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK AND NEED TO FIND A SOLUTION BEFORE I OR SOMEONE GETS HURT.

THE HANKOOK DYNAPRO ATM 275/55R20 TIRES ARE FAULTY AND HANKOOK DOES NOT STAND BY THEIR 50,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THEM. I HAVE PROOF FROM MY FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT.

2017 FORD F-150 2.7L ECOBOOST ENGINE EXHIBITS EXCESSIVE BLUE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST AT START UP. FORD ACKNOWLEDGES AN ISSUE EXIST BUT NO FIX - SSM 47696 - SOME 2017-2018 F-150 VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 2.7L ECOBOOST ENGINE MAY EXHIBIT EXCESSIVE WHITE OR BLUE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST AT START UP AFTER A COLD SOAK. IF THERE IS NO ASSOCIATED OIL CONSUMPTION CONCERN AND NO DRIVABILITY SYMPTOMS PRESENT, DO NOT ATTEMPT ANY REPAIRS AT THIS TIME. ENGINEERING IS INVESTIGATING, MONITOR OASIS FOR UPDATES. FORD ATTEMPTS FIX: TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 2.7L ECOBOOST - EXCESSIVE WHITE OR BLUE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST AT START UP AFTER A COLD SOAK TSB 19-2188 ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED.

WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DIPS BELOW FREEZING, DOOR WILL NOT LATCH ON DRIVERS SIDE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ONLY REMEDY I HAVE FOUND IS TO EITHER PARK IN A GARAGE (NOT POSSIBLE FOR ME) OR TO CLOSE THE DOOR AND HIT THE LOCK BUTTON. THE DOOR WILL NOT FULLY CLOSE, BUT AFTER TRUCK GETS TO WARMING TEMP, IT EVENTUALLY WILL LATCH. JUST A SUPER DANGEROUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU NEED THE TRUCK TO GET TO WORK OR SOMETHING AND HAVE NO OTHER MODE OF TRANSPORT. I BELIEVE THERE IS A SAFETY BULLETIN BUT MY VIN COMES BACK WITH NO RECALLS.

THE 2017 F-150 RAPTOR HAS 31,000 MILES ON IT. IN THE LAST 5000 MILES THE TRUCKS 10 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED TO SHIFT UP AND DOWN WITH ABRUPTNESS. THE SHIFT IS NOISY AND HARSH TO THE POINT THAT THE WHOLE TRUCK JERKS AND LUNGES FORWARD WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE. THE TRANSMISSIONS ALSO SHIFTS DOWN REAL HARD SO AS TO CAUSE THE PASSENGERS THE FEELING THAT THE TRUCK HAS BEEN REAR-ENDED BY A ANOTHER VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND TAKING A LEFT TURN ON A FLASHING ARROW INTERSECTION IS VERY DANGEROUS. FORD SAYS THIS IS A NORMAL BEHAVIOR OF THE TRUCK ALTHOUGH FOR THE FIRST 25,000 MILES NONE OF THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES EXISTED. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILED TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT AND BECAME INOPERABLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED; HOWEVER, THE STEERING ASSIST MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED.

ON OCTOBER 3, 2019, A CAR FAILED TO YIELD AND DROVE IN MY PATH. I COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE AT 45 MILES PER HOUR WITH MY 2017 FORD F 150 XLT. I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH AT 45 MPH AND THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING EAST AT 15 MPH. THE HIGHWAY I WAS TRAVELING ON A 4 LANE CITY STREET THAT HAD A 45 MPH SPEED LIMIT TRAVELING SOUTH. THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING EAST DOWN A 2 LANE CITY STREET WITH A STOP SIGN AT THE CORNER. THE OTHER VEHICLE STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN AND PROCEEDED TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I AM RECEIVING TREATMENT FOR MY INJURIES.

WAS USING MY REMOTE START WITH REAR WINDOW DEFROST THIS MORNING. AS I WAS STANDING OUTSIDE THE TRUCK AND MY WIFE WAS INSIDE WITH ALL DOORS SHUT, THE REAR WINDSHIELD SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. THE TRUCK WAS NOT MOVING AND THERE WAS IMPACT TO THE WINDOW.

MOONROOF JAMMED. THE UPR WINDOW IS NOT CAPABLE OF OF SLIDING BACK. RARELY USED AND SUDDENLY DOESN'T WORK.

FORD F150 RECALL #18N03 WHERE THE DOOR LATCH CAN FREEZE NOT ALLOWING THE DOOR TO CLOSE OR NOT ALLOWING THE DOOR TO OPEN. WEST HURR FORD OF ROCHESTER NY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT PERFORM THE RECALL UNTIL THE DOOR LATCH ACTUALLY FROZE. MY CONCERN IS THAT I TRAVEL FRO NEW YORK TO PA A LOT AND IF IT FREEZES WHEN I AM IN PA I WOULD BE STRANDED UNTIL A DEALER COULD FIT ME IN TO FIX.

F150 VISTA MOONROOF FRAME HAS FRACTURED 3 TIMES. INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL MOONROOF THAT WAS FACTORY INSTALLED, I'VE NOW HAD 3 MOONROOFS (2 REPLACEMENTS) FOR A BROKEN FRAME THAT CONTROLS THE OPENING OF THE MOONROOF. THE ISSUE WAS NOTICED BECAUSE THE MOONROOF RATTLED DURING NORMAL DRIVING, AND MADE NOISES UPON OPENING IT. CONCERNED ABOUT ROBUSTNESS IF MOONROOF WILL BREAK AGAIN, LEAK, OR STAY CLOSED IN A COLLISION IF THE TRACK BREAKS AGAIN.

ENGINE RATTLED AT STARTUP AND LACKED POWER. DEALERSHIP REPLACED A STRETCHED TIMING CHAIN STRETCHED AND CAM PHASERS NEEDED REPLACING, ALL UNDER A TSB WHICH WAS NOT INTENDED FOR MY 2017 F150... BUT FOR MY15 AND OLDER. ENGINE RUNS FINE NOW, BUT FORD CUSTOMER CARE WOULD NOT COMMENT ON IT OR PROVIDE CLARIFICATION ON IF REPLACED PARTS ARE ANY DIFFERENT OR BETTER TO PREVENT SAME ISSUE. CONCERN THAT TIMING CHAIN COULD STRETCH AND CAUSE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE NEXT TIME.

MY NEW F-150 FRONT DIFFERENTIAL LEAKS. WHEN TRYING TO SLOW DOWN VEHICLE I CAN HEAR KNOCK SOUND AND AROUND FRONT AXLE AND SUDDEN DECELERATE.

STEERING WENT OUT SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. TRUCK STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT RETURN AFTER A TURN .THE STEERING RACK WAS EXTREMELY HARD AND NOTCHEY. WAS HARD TO MAINTAIN ON THE ROAD, TRUCK WAS SWERVING SIDE TO SIDE. TRUCK WAS PARKED AND TOWED.AS IT WAS UNSAFE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE CONTACT WAS APPROACHING GREEN LIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION AND DID NOT SEE THE OTHER VEHICLE APPROACHING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE AND CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE DRIVER SIDE DOOR.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS TAKEN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 16,000.

DRIVING FROM CALIFORNIA TO OREGON THROUGH NEVADA ON INTERSTATE WHEN VEHICLE STARTED TO OVERHEAT NEVADA DEALER WOULD NOT EVEN LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. INFORMED FORD MOTOR COMPANY. CONTINUED TO OREGON AND THEN ON TO BOZEMAN MONTANA. VEHICLE IS NOW AT BOZEMAN FORD HAVING THE MOTOR DISMANTLED FOR DIAGNOSIS. WAS TOLD THERE IS A ISSUE WITH THE NUMBER ONE CYLINDER, FORD CORPORATION HAS NOT BEEN OF ANY HELP WHAT SO EVER.

IN MOTION THE THROTTLE BODY IS VERY SLOW IN RESPONDING TO COMMANDS GIVEN TO IT BY GAS PEDAL CAUSING UNSAFE DELAY IN ACCELERATION AND UNEXPECTED MINOR INCREASE IN SPEED IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC.

RATTLE ON START UP. THIS TRUCK SAT FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS TO OVER NIGHT AND THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE A DIESEL FOR BETWEEN 15 AND 30 SECONDS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK ENGINE THE 3.5L ECOBOOST. A GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND REQUIRES THE ENGINE TO BE TORN DOWN. THE COMMON PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THE TIMING CHAIN AND TIMING CHAIN TENSIONERS. FORD CORP WAS ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS IN SUPPORTING THIS REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. MY TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON MAY 13 AND I MIGHT GET IT AUGUST 16 OR 17. PARTS WERE ORDERED ON MAY 15 AND ESTIMATED DELIVERY WAS JULY 31. THAT'S UNSATISFACTORY! FORD DID NOT HAVE ANY PARTS AS THERE ARE SO MANY ENGINES BEING REPAIRD FOR THIS ISSUE.

ONLY 1 TRANSMISSION BOLT WAS ON TRUCK. COST ME $200 FOR THEM TO PUT 3 BOLTS TO HOLD TRANSMISSION. TRUCK MUST HAVE A DEFECTIVE PART TO CAUSE 2 OR 3 TRANSMISSION BOLTS TO COME OFF.

I'VE HAD TO REPAIR MY SUNROOF TWICE COSTING OVER $3800. I'VE ONLY OPENED THE SUNROOF MAYBE 20 TIMES IN 2 YEARS AND NOW THE MOTOR IS DEFECTED. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL FORD TECHS AND THEY SAY THEY SEE ISSUES WITH THE SUNROOF ALL THE TIME. I HAVE PERSONAL FRIENDS WHO HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THEIR SUNROOF SHATTERED. A RECALL INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO OCCUR PLEASE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2017 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AN AUTHORIZED PERSON WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 -50 MPH, THEY NOTICED SMOKE EMERGING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER EXITED THE VEHICLE AND IT SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT FIRE. THE HIGHWAY PATROL DISTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CONTACT CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER MOSSY FORD 4919 (4570 MISSION BAY DR, SAN DIEGO, CA 92109 (858) 273-7500) BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE HAD NOT BEEN DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,000.

WENT TO GROCERY STORE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. CAME OUT OF STORE AND STARTED TRUCK AND HAD NO POWER STEERING. ALONG WITH ERROR MESSAGES ON DISPLAY READING: SERVICE ADVANTRAC, HILL ASSIST FAULT, POWERSTEERING ASSIST FAULT, ALSO HAVE ABS LIGHT ON AND CRUISE CONTROL QUIT WORKING. STEERING IS VERY HARD TO TURN AND MAKES TRUCK VERY UNPLEASANT TO DRIVE.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE AND NOT STARTED. OWNER OPENED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR TO RETRIEVE ITEMS LOCATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WHEN OWNER CLOSED THE DOOR, THE BACK WINDOW OF THE VEHICLE EXPLODED OUTWARD. THIS CAUSED SMALL PIECES OF SHATTERED GLASS TO LAND INSIDE THE TRUCK BED AND FALL BETWEEN THE CAB AND BED OF THE TRUCK. AS VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND BACK HOME, SMALL PIECES OF GLASS WERE DISPERSED WITHIN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK ACROSS THE BACK SEAT. THE WINDOW HAD NO PREVIOUS DAMAGE AND THE TRUCK REMAINS PARKED IN OWNER'S GARAGE EXCEPT WHEN IN USE. NO ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THIS EVENT.

2017 F-150 RAPTOR STEERING SUBSYSTEM FAILURE. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS FORCEFULLY TURNING ITSELF LEFT AND RIGHT ERRATICALLY; UP TO 90 DEGREE TURNS VERY QUICKLY. VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS ON HIGH ELEVATION LOGGING ROADS WHEN THIS OCCURRED. OVERCOMING THE ERRATIC BEHAVIOR FELT WAS SIMILAR TO STEERING A WHEEL WITHOUT POWER STEERING. MAKING TURNS WAS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. FAILURE LIGHTS THAT CAME UP: * LOW BATTERY FEATURES TEMPORARILY TURNED OFF * STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED * TERRAIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FAULT * LANE KEEPING SYS. MALFUNCTION SERVICE REQUIRED

WHILE DRIVING MY 2017 FROD F 150, 2.7 ECOBOOST ENGINE WITH MY TRAVEL TRAILER IN TOW. MY ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING AS I CAME TO STOP AT THE END OF AN EXIT RAMP. I WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY START THE ENGINE BUT IT REPEATEDLY STALLED IF I DID NOT PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS PROBLEM PERSISTED FOR SEVERAL MORE STOP INTERSECTIONS AS I MADE MY WAY HOME. I HAD BEEN TRAVELING BACK FROM A TRIP TOWING MY TT AND HAD MAINTAINED A SPEED AROUND 65 TO 70 MPH. I HAD TRAVEL PROBABLY CLOSE TO 200 MILES SINCE MY LAST STOP. HAD NO PRIOR ISSUES DURING MY TRIP AND AT NO TIME DURING THE ISSUE WAS I EVER WARNED OF AN ISSUE. NO CODES WERE STORED. THE ONLY LIGHT THAT COME ON ON THE DASH WAS THE BATTERY LIGHT WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED.

FORD F-150 CHROME LUG NUTS EXPAND CAUSING INOPERABLE PERFORMANCE OF THE STANDARD MANUFACTURE PROVIDED LUG NUT REMOVAL TOOL (AKA LUG WRENCH) ACCORDING TO FORD SERVICE TECHS THIS IS AND HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH FORD. FORD CLAIMS THIS IS A 'WEAR' ISSUE. I CALLED FORD AND THIS IS THERE DETENTION FOR SWELLING OF THE LUG NUTS. ACCORDING TO FORD SERVICE TECHS THE LUG CAPS ARE SEPARATING FROM THE LUG NUTS CAUSING THE LUGS TO SWELL TO AN ADDITIONAL MILLIMETER IN DIAMETER. THIS SWELLING CAUSES YOUR MANUFACTURED TIRE TOOL THAT COMES WITH YOUR VEHICLE NOT TO WORK AT ALL. LEAVING YOU STRANDED OR FORCE YOU TO CALL FOR ASSISTANCE. FORD NEEDS TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS AT THEIR COST NOT THE CUSTOMER. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE AT 1:00 AM IN A GAS STATION PARKING LOT, THANKFULLY NOT ALONG THE BUSY HIGHWAYS. THIS IS A TRUE SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE MOTORING PUBLIC. FORD LIKE THE REST OF AMERICA'S COMPANIES GO WITH THE ODDS OF PEOPLE GETTING HARMED OR INJURED VERSES FIXING THE ISSUES FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. SAD...
