2017 Ford F-150 complaints

WHILE DRIVING AT 35MPH, THE LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. WITHIN 200M WHILE TRYING TO SLOW, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY. WHILE USING EMERGENCY BRAKE, LARGE PUFF OF SMOKE CAME FROM EXHAUST

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP COMPLETELY SOMETIMES. OTHER TIMES, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL CEASE MOVEMENT. NO MATTER HOW GREAT OR HOW LITTLE PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR.

PURCHASED VEHICLE ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. THIS MORNING I WAS SLOWING THE VEHICLE AT A STOP LIGHT. ONCE PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE PEDAL IT WOULD CONTINUE TO PROGRESS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. CHECKED BRAKE FLUID AND IT WAS FULL. PROBLEM PERSISTED SO VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP.

VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 5000 MILES, AND EACH TIME I ENTER MY GARAGE I SMELL GASOLINE. IT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE "EASY FUEL" CAPLESS FUEL TANK FILLER. IT HAS NOT BEEN OVERFILLED, AND NO FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE CAP OR NEAR IT IN THE BOTTOM. SEEMS LIKE GAS VAPOR IS EXITING THROUGH THE CAP AND FILLING MY GARAGE WITH FUMES.

SUDDEN AND COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND CONTINUOS PUMPING DID VERY LITTLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IT WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN TO SARASOTA FORD IN SARASOAT FL.

ENGINE STALLS AT STOP (AFTER LETTING UP ON BRAKE AND AUTO START STOP RE-STARTS THE ENGINE) FOLLOWED BY "HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE" ERROR FLASHES ALONG WITH OTHER BRAKE RELATED ERRORS; VEHICLE ENGINE WON'T TURN OVER/START UNLESS TRANSMISSION IS PUT BACK INTO PARK. UPON RESTARTING ALL ENGINE ERROR/FAULT MESSAGES ARE CLEARED AND THINGS SEEM BACK TO NORMAL. TODAY WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT 7 DAYS AGO. THIS IS DANGEROUS SHOULD IT HAPPEN ENTERING AN INTERSECTION. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO LIVERMORE FORD AND THEY SAID THAT SINCE IT IS INTERMITTENT WITHOUT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE IT.

DAKOTA TRAVELING 50-55 MPH ON INTERSTATE 95 HIT FORD TRAVELING 20 MPH NEAR EXIT RAMP CAUSING FORD TO HIT CADILLAC TRAVELING 10MPH CAUSING CADILLAC TO HIT MURANO, RESULTING IN 4 CAR ACCIDENT. 2017 FORD TOOK BRUNT OF HITS DUE TO SPEED OF DAKOTA. 2017 FORD DEEMED TOTALED. AIRBAGS ON 2017 FORD DID NOT DEPLOY, THOUGH SENSORS APPEARED ACTIVATED--SEE PHOTOS THAT SHOW LIGHTS ON. ALL INTERVIEWED AT BODYSHOP, INSURANCE ADJUSTER ETC. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY CONSIDERING THE SPEED OF HIT FROM BEHIND AND THE FORCE OF HITS ON BOTH SIDES, DAMAGE, AND SENSORS ACTIVATED.

TOOK DELIVERY 5/8. CALLED DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT 5/17 TO SEE ABOUT ROUGH IDLE AND A FEW MINOR COSMETIC ISSUES. DROPPED OFF 5/25, SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED 5/26 TO TELL ME IT IS BLOWING OIL THROUGH THE PISTONS AND THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE HEADS PER A TSB. I STARTED RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND FORD TSB 17-0007. SEEMS THAT F-150S MADE BETWEEN JUNE AND OCTOBER 2016 MIGHT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE TECHNICIAN PLUGS THE TRUCK INTO THE DAGNOSTICS MACHINE AND IF YOUR VEHICLE IS ONE OF THE UNFORTUNATE ONES, IT EITHER GIVES A CODE FOR HEAD REPLACEMENT OR ENGINE REPLACEMENT. WHY ARE THESE VEHICLES WAITING TO BE SOLD BEFORE CHECKING A CODE? HERE I HAVE A MONTH OLD "NEW" VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN DOWN LONGER THAN DRIVEN. I HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH FORD CORPORATE SINCE 5/30 REQUESTING EITHER A NEW ENGINE OR VEHICLE. REPLACING THE HEADS SHOULD NOT BE AN OPTION WHEN A CONSUMER HAS 400 MILES ON AN ENGINE. SHOULD BE GETTING AN ANSWER FROM FORD IN THE NEXT TWO DAYS, BUT STILL, IF I AM FORCED TO ACCEPT NEW HEADS, THE REDUCTION IN VALUE OF THE VEHICLE WILL BE TREMENDOUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V053000 (POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM).

AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SOFTWARE WAS CORRUPTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,801.

MY WASTE GATE HAS MALFUNCTIONED THEN REPLACED BUT HAS BEEN BACK 3X IN 30 DAYS WITH MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOING ON AND SENDING THE TRUCK INTO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING.

THIS IS A BRAND NEW TRUCK I HAVE PURCHASED ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. I HAVE NOTICED SOME STRANGE BEHAVIOR OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, I HAD AN IMPRESSION THAT SOMETIMES IT WAS GETTING A BIT STUCK OR CHANGED THE POSITION ON ITS OWN. TODAY I HAVE DISCOVERED BY MYSELF THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETELY LOOSE, ALL 3 BOLTS ARE NOT TORQUED AT ALL, I COULD TURN THEM WITH MY BARE FINGERS. THIS EXPLAINS THE STRANGE BEHAVIOR I OBSERVED. LAST WEEK I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE ROUGH DOWNSHIFTING, THEY DID A TEST DRIVE (!) AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE MADE A VIDEO, I HOPE IT WILL BETTER EXPLAIN THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/B9IJTDTDQYA I DEFINITELY CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I SUSPECT FORD DOES NOT HAVE ADEQUATE QUALITY CONTROL TO ENSURE THAT THE ACCELERATOR ASSEMBLY IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY. I AM GOING TO SEE THE DEALER TOMORROW MORNING.

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 56 YEARS, WHEN I GET OUT OF AN AUTOMATIC VEHICLE I PUT IT IN PARK EVEN WITH THE MOTOR RUNNING. ON 4/5, I PARKED MY TRUCK (CITY GOVERNMENT VEHICLE) MOTOR RUNNING, TO PUT RAINGEAR IN MY PERSONAL VEHICLE. I PLACED THE TRUCK IN PARK OPENED THE DRIVER'S DOOR, GRABBED MY JACKET AND WALKED TO MY PERSONAL VEHICLE (15 FEET AWAY) AND PLACED THE JACKET INSIDE. I THEN WALKED BACK TO MY CITY TRUCK, OPENED THE PASSENGER DOOR GOT MY RAIN SLICKER FROM THE FLOOR BOARD, CARRIED THE SLICKER TO MY PERSONAL CAR AND PUT IT INSIDE. I WALKED BACK TO THE TRUCK, SHUT THE TRUCK'S PASSENGER DOOR, WALKED TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE TRUCK TO GET TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN COMPLETELY STATIONARY TO THIS POINT AND AT THIS MOMENT DROVE ITSELF FORWARD INTO A PARKED VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT. I WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE. DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES WAS MINOR. THE TRUCK'S GEAR SHIFTER WAS IN "D". A POLICE REPORT WAS MADE. ONE WOULD NATURALLY ASSUME IT WAS DRIVER ERROR AND THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER IN PARK. I TOO DOUBTED MYSELF UNTIL I DISCOVERED FORD'S RECALL OF 2017 F250 TRUCKS. I MAKE THIS COMPLAINT TO YOU, THE NHTSA. A COWORKER WITNESSED THE ENTIRE INCIDENT AND REPORTED IT TO THE POLICE. THE CITY TRUCK WAS STATIONARY FOR OVER A MINUTE, AND AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS FROM THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE INCIDENT, I CANNOT LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE WITHOUT THE TRUCK MOVING FORWARD ...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED, IT WAS EQUIPPED WITH A DRIVER ALERT SYSTEM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER ALERT SYSTEM FAILED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE WITHIN THE OCCUPIED LANE AS WELL AS WARN THE CONTACT IF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VEER INTO ANOTHER LANE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

ECOBOOST ENGINE, AUTO STOP/START OPTION DISABLED BY PUSHING DASH BUTTON. TRUCK SHUTS OFF WHEN STOPPED AT STOP LIGHT LIKE THE AUTO STOP FUNCTION IS STILL ENABLED BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT RESTART WHEN YOU RELEASE THE BRAKES. HAVE TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND MANUALLY RESTART THE ENGINE USING THE KEY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON 3 OCCASIONS WITHIN THE LAST WEEK.

1. MY RAPTOR WAS MADE IN 1/2017. 2. IT TOOK LOTS OF CALLS AND FED EX SHIPMENT OVER NIGHT TO THE DEALER AND 5 DAYS FROM MONDAY TO LATE FRIDAY TO GET THE RAPTOR BACK.

I APOLOGIZE AS I WAS TOO OPTIMISTIC TO THINK MY PROBLEM LISTED ABOVE WAS FIXED. 2.I DROVE THE RAPTOR AFTER PICKING IT UP LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON HOME AND AROUND TOWN AND FREEWAYS OVER WEEKEND FOR ABOUT 200 MILES TOTAL. ( NO OFF ROAD RIDING, NO 4 WHEEL DRIVING, MAX SPEED ABOUT 75 MPH, NO STOMPING ON TUBES FOR EXTENDING PERIODS). I CHECKED FOR OIL LEAK SUNDAY AM, AND TODAY- MONDAY AM-NO LEAK. I TURNED ON ENGINE AND LEFT FOR A SHORT ERRAND AFTER CHECKING TODAY-MONDAY. 3. WHEN I CAME BACK I NOTICED A TIRE TREAD IMPRINT AND WET AREAS ON DRIVEWAY. I PARKED NEXT TO THE DRIVEWAY ON PAVERS WHEN I CAME BACK. I OPENED THE GARAGE TO FIND A HUGE PUDDLE OF OIL. 4. THE BRAND NEW 2 WEEK OLD RAPTOR IS BACK AT THE DEALERS. I WILL UPDATE AS I FIND OUT INFO. I THINK I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL RED RAPTOR LEMON!
