2018 Ford F-150 complaints

Complete failure of the Sync 3 Advanved Program Interface Module (APIM). Recall available up until 2017 model year, 2018 needs to be included. I purchased my vehicle used in August 2019 with 28,000 miles and had problems with the APIM from the start. Dealer refuses to replace. Problems include: -Device will not update firmware over Wi-Fi or USB flash drive. -None of the official Ford Sync mobile apps on iPhone will connect to APIM. -Resuming music from USB flash drive frozen in memory from same song and time every time I start the car even after playing many songs ahead. -Turning off the vehicle loses the current clock time. -Driving durring the day with headlights off, screen randomly goes black into night mode. Dealer quoted me $1008 to replace APIM, not gonna happen. I researched prices online and can purchase this and do it myself for less than $300 but, I shouldn't have to.

Transmission. It is currently at a Ford dealer being disassembled. Might be available for inspection! When pulling out into traffic the transmission would go neutral when shifting which causes the truck to slow down in front of moving vehicles. Naturally I push the accelerator to make it go which revs the engine and then it slams into gear. On wet pavement this causes the drives wheels to spin out so you have to really pay attention not to slide sideways and lose control. It happens at all speeds! Yes it has been reproduced by the Ford dealer! It is currently at a Ford dealer being disassembled and then send the information to Ford so they can find out from Ford how to handle it. The truck is still barely under warrantee! There were not any warning lamps or messages before or after it started malfunctioning. It started malfunctioning this year, 2021, when it had around 40,000 miles.

The 10R80 10-speed automatic F-150 Sport XLT exhibits a loud bang (metal on metal sound) noise when starting engine, shifting into reverse or drive during cold or warm operation. Transmission will stall in between gears (particular 3, 7 and 10), lose of power, not accelerating or shifting while operating. Once power is regain, shifting become jerky (whiplash like) making vehicle propel harshly and operating unsafely on highways. I've made Dealer aware of mishaps in 2019 and several times in 2021. The vehicle did not present warning lamps in 2019, but presented warnings in 2021. Dealer has re-calibrated/reprogrammed the PCM or TCM module on each service and commented that problem didn't reoccur during diagnosis. July 5th 2021, I've requested for a test ride with mechanic, immediately in front of dealership on route 7 we noticed the grinding of gears, harsh jerky shifting and loss of acceleration in heavy traffic area, which put our life along with others who where on the highway that day in jeopardy. Mechanic requested to perform a thorough diagnosis for sharing with Ford Customer Care in two weeks (July 20, 2021). This has changed due to truck unable to shift gears properly on July 9th on route 29 (heavy traffic area during rush hour) problem worsen and vehicle was not able to sustain power in between gears. Vehicle is now with Ford Dealership in Warrenton Va, awaiting a thorough transmission diagnosis. My first report of hard shifting, my vehicle had less than 15K miles and

The sunroof rail broken is the big issue for this Ford F-150 from 2015 to 2020. A lot of F150 between 2015 and 2020 have the sunroof issue which manufactures still not recall for this widely sunroof issue. If you search F150 sunroof issue it will come up a lot on the internet.

Tailgate released while driving

The contact owns a 2018 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the oil pan was leaking. The vehicle was diagnosed but not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.

4wheel drive actuators fail. When they fail it causes front wheels to jerk and and lock up temperary. We it happened I was pulling out in traffic. They have been replaced 3 times by 2 different Ford dealers. The warning signs is a grinding nose coming from front drive trail. I have researched this on internet and it is a common problem with newer F150s. As I stated this is the third time they have been replaced and the truck only has less than 21000 miles on it. The first time they failed 11/05/20 (14987 miles) second time 06/02/21 (19138 miles) third time 06/24/21 (20327 miles).

TRANSMISSION GRINDS ON ACCELERATION. ALSO, RUMBLING SOUND/FEELING BETWEEN APPROX. 4TH AND 7TH GEAR. WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK INTO REVERSE, VEHICLE LURCHES AND LOUD BANG. HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES, AND ALL 3 TIMES, THEY SAY THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE SOUND. I GUESS IF THEY CAN'T HEAR IT, IT'S NOT A PROBLEM. DEFINITELY 100% WITHOUT A DOUBT, THIS VEHICLE HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM

Back windshield blown out without impact. Vehicle was parked in driveway and had not been driven for several days.

The truck bed is weak; 40lbs dumbbell put a dent in the sidewall and this shows the potential lack of strength within the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford F-150. The contact stated that after the vehicle was serviced at the dealer for a manufacturer's power train control module reprogramming, the vehicle would shudder when switching lane, accelerating, or decelerating. The check engine light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to another dealer Bob Swope Ford, Inc. (1307 N Dixie Hwy, Elizabethtown, KY 42701) and an engine oil leakage was repaired. However, the failure recurred. The dealer Bob Swope Ford, Inc. informed the contact that there was no remedy but it was safe to drive the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 42,865.

Excessive Oil Consumption. August 2, 2020, low engine oil light came on and 50% loss of engine power. When I pulled over at the nearest gas station my vehicle was 6 quarts low on engine oil. October 6, 2020, only 2000 miles after an oil change by the dealership oil was 1 quart low. May 24, 2021, 7,788 miles after engine oil change by dealership, engine oil was 4 quarts low. My truck consumes 1 quart of oil every 1,750 miles. My fuel economy is poor, averaging 11.5 miles per gallon which should be and and was much better when I first purchased my new vehicle. Intermittent rattle during normal acceleration and deceleration. My engine has lost power and would turn over but not crank for up to 2 hours at a time. This appears to be a wide spread issue with owners of the F150 truck year 2018 - 2019. FORD NEEDS TO RESPOND AND FIX THIS ISSUE FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER.

Ford Sync 3 system in 2018 F-150 has been faulty, dealership diagnosed it as a faulty APIM, no longer covered under standard warranty. Online forums are littered with similar issues, Ford refuses to address or cover, wants > $1k for replacement. Symptions: - Main display screen goes completely blank - Backup camera does not display - Handsfree bluetooth disconnects - GPS freezes, directions do not display

At random times the ignition switch will not turn, therefore the truck will not start. The steering wheel is not binding. I have tried both keys. There are just days when the ignition will not turn. I took it to the local Ford dealer. Of course the day I took it, the ignition switch turned and I was able to start it and drive it there. I explained that it just won't turn at random times. Since it turned for them, they blew the problem off. Other people have had some problem (as seen on the internet).

1. Rear Window Spontaneously Shattered 2. My seven years old daughter was in the back seat, glass remains reached even the front seats. 3. My wife was driving and she was not able to see the traffic behind her. She was very concern about my daughter safety with the broken window behind her. 4.Dealer had not been contacted. 5. 911 contacted, police inspected the rear window and created an incident number. -No warning lamps were turned on.

Truck parked, rear sliding glass window shattered on it's own with no impact. No one near the vehicle. Thankfully we were not driving or have passengers when this occurred.

Engine has been making excessive valve train/piston/rod noise. I noticed the noise in March 2021 when towing my vacation trailer to San Diego. When idling noise is loudest below engine on drivers side. Noise increases dramatically when under load, and can be heard inside cab when driving. Motor almost sounds like a diesel engine. On April 26,2021 I took the truck to my dealer, Raceway Ford, Fontana, CA. After a road test I was given a notice from FORD stating that this is normal for this 5.0 engine. No way an engine should sound like this after 30,000 miles. This is a serious design flaw. When this engine fails I hope that we are not in the middle of the desert in 110 degree weather, going down a mountain pass, or crossing the golden gate bridge. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY MATTER !!! Please force Ford to find a fix and repair these engines ASAP

After the Ford 21b10 update the vehicle started having shifting issues. The transmission will hold higher gears at low speeds causing an engine or transmission shutter. Vehicle is sluggish and takes a lot of throttle input to down shift into correct gear. Vehicle ran perfectly fine before getting the update done.

Transmission malfunction. Truck experiences major hard shifting, hesitation going to gears which causes lack of exceleration. Transmission was reprogrammed around $30k miles Dec 2020. On 5/20/21, I came to stop at 4 way intersection. I proceeded to go straight but truck was barely moving (less than 5 mph) and when looking at dash I could see gear indicator showing transmission still in 7th gear but truck would not excelerate as if it was in neutral. I proceeded to use my flashers and coasted to the side of the two lane road. The dealer reprogrammed the transmission a second time on 5/24/21. I picked the vehicle up from dealer on 5/25/21 and experience same failures and a see manual warning light flashed on the dash. This vehicle is currently at the dealer and I've been advised they are dropping transmission to see what is going on inside. This 10 speed transmission is a major safety issue when driving as the vehicle can become disabled at anytime

Approximately once every 20 times the truck engages the Auto StartStop feature, the vehicle turn off the engine and requires you to place the vehicle in Park and restart the vehicle. I picked up the vehicle from the Dealer after they had it for a week, and they were unable to reproduce the error. The Dealer did have error messages and worked with Ford technicians to clear the error(s), but in my 8th day since having my truck back, it has happened twice. While inconvenient, and I could push the button every time I’m in the truck to disable, this was a nice fuel efficiency perk. Also, it doesn’t happen while driving, only coming to a complete stop. The danger that I fear, is that someone behind me will become impatient/look at the green and drive into my truck. I do have a screenshot of the error.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the front passenger’s side door failed to lock securely. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was informed of failure and suggested that the vehicle be taken to an authorized dealer for assistance. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 36,000.

On Thurs., May 20, 2021, about 5:00 pm Central, I was traveling south on the Edens Express in the Chicago area, traveling at highway speed (approximately 70+ mph) when all of a sudden and without warning my power train cut out and I received an error message, Check Engine and Drive Mode Not Available came up after I came to a stop, turned the vehicle off and tried to re-engage the transmission to drive off. My truck stopped forward motion and I had to coast to a stop on the right hand side of the road. I was between Exits 34 and 35, about 1.25 miles north of the Skokie/Old Orchard exit. I contacted Ford Road Service and they towed the truck to my local Ford Dealer, Napoleon Ford in Libertyville, IL. Ford Service indicated that the issue was caused by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Service re-flashed the PCM and said that was the only fix necessary. My concern is that this issue happened suddenly and without any warning while I was traveling at highway speed. While I was lucky enough to be in the right-hand lane (of the 3 lane highway), that was only because I was planning to exit at the Skokie/Old Orchard exit which was the next exit. Had I been away from the right-hand lane or someone was tailgating me when this happened (or going up a hill), the consequences might not have been so good for my personal well-being. I wanted to bring this to your attention in case this is happening to other Ford F-150 truck with similar PCMs. When I asked Ford Service what caused the err

2 to 4 times a day since I bought the truck new, when cold, the engine RPM's flair up 600 to 1000 RPM's before slamming into gear. This happens when shifting from 3rd to 4th gear and sometimes 5th to 4th gear. I have taken it to 2 different dealers. Both said it shifted normal. When went to pick it up from the second dealer I had the Service manager ride with me. He noticed poor shifting and said the truck was NOT shifting normally. I left it for them to give it a better look. Only 3 days later I was asked to pick it up because they "couldn't duplicate the problem", even though the Service Manager witnessed the problem.

I am reporting to NHTSA because the recall #17S37 should include my truck as I have the same issues and I am apprehensive to even drive my truck as the issue continues to increase in severity. See the answers to the requested questions below. 1.What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Answer -1. The cylinder heads have failed. Yes, the truck is available upon request. 2.How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Answer -2. Per recall 17S37. Cylinder heads machined without supply holes will result in premature engine failure. Engine Failure can cause noise, check engine light, runs rough and/or loss of motive power without warning while driving, increasing the risk of crash. 3.Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Answer – 3. Yes, the problem has been confirmed by the Ford dealer shop foreman upon a 1:1 test drive. The shop foreman agreed of the noise and the shudder. The shop foreman scheduled a diagnostic for the truck. 4.Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Answer – 4. Yes, the ford dealer ran multiple diagnostics over multiple visits on the truck. I was informed by the shop foreman that the cylinder heads were machined incorrectly, and new cylinder heads and camshafts were to be replaced. I proceed to file a formal complaint through Ford. Upon filing the complaint with Ford and thr

Transmission harsh up and down shifts and some times hangs between gears before going into gear revs when going into 6th like in N and will not go into reverse until transmission is cooled down

My truck now has 52K + and it has started to skip gears when shifting. Seems to be once warmed up the shifting gets clunky and bangs, more like a shudder and no rhyme or reason it shift from 1st to 2nd and 3rd and skip 4th but slip almost like it is in neutral? I was pulling out of a store parking lot and it was like someone threw it in neutral and a MAC truck was coming right at me and luckily I let up off of pedal and it caught and I was able to cut over to breakdown lane as the truck laid on his air horn at me. I have taken it in for service 3 times now at Franklin Ford in Franklin Massachusetts and it is in there right now for the 4th time. The mechanic has replaced parts and given back to me after a testing stating that it was all set each time and I would get in and same slippage and shuddering and banging while shifting and still slipped into neutral. The 3rd time in they mentioned that they replaced the torque converter, got it back after over a week: Same issues. The 4th time in service now for over a week going to check in to see what they have figured out if anything? This is ridiculous, been going on since beginning of March. Why they can't just replace Transmission or Truck ? You spend so much on your truck and take very good care of and I will tell you I baby my truck. It is a beautiful truck but please do something !! Franklin Ford asked me to start a case with FORD, so I am starting here. I haven't any paperwork you would have to get from them, my service pers

TRANSMISSION JUMPS FROM THIRD TO FIRST BACK TO THIRD JERKING THE VEHICLE AND SOME TIMES DELAYS THE VEHICLE FROM CLEARING LANES AND/OR VEHICLES. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND/OR AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED FOR MORE THAN A FEW HOURS.

AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF TOWING (APPROXIMATELY 4000# FOR 2+ HOURS)I STOPPED FOR GAS. ON RESTART OF THE ENGINE, IT HAD A VERY ROUGH IDLE AND THERE WAS A WARNING LIGHT FOR THE AUTO START/STOP SYSTEM. IT DIED AND WOULD NOT RUN FOR MORE THAN 5 SECONDS. TO GET IT TO RUN I HAD TO KEEP IT IN NEUTRAL AND REV THE ENGINE TO APPROXIMATELY 2500RPM. IT DID NOT REPEAT THE ISSUE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP (ANOTHER 2+ HOURS OF TOWING). THIS SITUATION WAS IN A GAS STATION BUT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE IF IT WAS ON A PUBLIC ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE UNINTENDEDLY DOWNSHIFTED AND STALLED WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE POWER TRAIN MALFUNCTION WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GERVAIS INC (5 LITTLETON RD, AYER, MA 01432) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,200.

THE APIM IS DEFECTIVE THE GPS SIGNIAL ON THE NAVIGATION IS MESSED UP IT WILL SHOW THAT I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A LAKE OR FIELD WHEN I'M ON THE ROAD, THE NAVIGATION IS ALSO VERY SLOW AND THE BACKUP SENSORS DON'T WORK AS EXPECTED WHEN BACKING UP THE 360 CAMERA IS ALSO EXTREMELY LAGY AND TAKES 15 SECONDS TO ACTIVATE. FORD SAYS THIS PART IS 1800 BUT IT IS AN INTERNAL PART OF THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND SHOULDN'T JUST FAIL

I WAS PULLING INTO A LEFT TURNING LANE BEHIND ANOTHER TRUCK. BRAKES FAILED TO SLOW THE TRUCK. AS I APPLIED MORE BRAKE THE ENGINE STOPPED BUT VEHICLE STILL MOVED FORWARD AT A SLOW SPEED. THE ABS SEEMED TO BE TRYING TO WORK AS THE TRUCK "BUCKED" LIKE ABS WAS TRYING TO WORK EVEN AT THIS SLOW SPEED. I BUMPED INTO THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. HE ONLY SUSTAINED A VERY SMALL DENT IN HIS BUMPER. MY TRUCK WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO SHIFT IT IN AND OUT OF PARK SEVERAL TIME AND IT FINALLY STARTED. I SUSTAINED ABOUT $3000 DAMAGE MY TRUCK. THE TRUCK WAS PUT ON A COMPUTER BY A FORD DEALER AND IT SHOWED NO PROBLEMS.

DRIVING ABOUT 30MPH DOWN A RURAL STREET AND I STARTED TO LIGHTLY APPLY BRAKES AS I WAS COMING TO A CORNER. THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. NO POWER STEERING NOR POWER BRAKES. A MESSAGE APPEARED IN THE CLUSTER DISPLAY SAYING ' AUTOSTART SHIFT TO P AND RESTART ENGINE'. I HAD TO PULL THE TRUCK OVER TO A SIDE STREET NARROWLY MISSING A SEMI TRUCK THAT WAS COMING DOWN THE STREET(BECAUSE IT WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN AND STOP THE VEHICLE SINCE THE POWER ASSIST WAS NO LONGER WORKING). I HAD TO COMPLETELY STOP THE TRUCK, PLACE SHIFTER INTO PARK POSITION AND RESTART IT. IT WORKED FINE AFTER THIS. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN STARTED ABOUT 3 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE EVENT. IT WAS 54 DEGREES AND ENGINE HAD NOT COMPLETELY WARMED UP YET.

WHILE HAVE MY TRUCK SERVICED ON A ROUTINE INTERVAL, I WAS TOLD BY THE FORD DEALERHSHIP SHOP THAT THE I HAD "SWOLLEN LUG NUTS" AND THAT MY TIRES COULDN'T BE ROTATED/SERVICED DUE TO THE ISSUE. FORD DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED I REPLACE THEM WHICH I OBVIOUSLY HAD TO DO AND THEY PUT ON AFTERMARKET PART SINCE THE FORD OEM LUG NUTS WERE A KNOWN ISSUE. THEY CLAIM IT ISN'T COVERED BY WARRANTY BECAUSE LUG NUTS ARE A "WEARABLE" ITEM (THIS DEFIES LOGIC IN MY OPINION) YET THERE IS NO MENTION OF NEEDING TO CHECK/REPLACE LUG NUTS IN A REGULAR SCHEDULE IN THE RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. I FIND THIS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE AS I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CHANGE OUT THE TIRE WITH OR HAVE MY WORN TIRES REPLACED WITHOUT HAVING TO REPLACE THE LUG NUTS. I'VE OPENED A CASE WITH FORD: CAS-31464804-J4Y2Q8 CRM:0789115 THESE DEFECTIVE LUG NUTS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY FORD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A DIVIDED ROAD AT AN INTERSECTION, ANOTHER VEHICLE RAN INTO THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A CONCRETE POLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES AND HAD BROKEN GLASS IN THEIR FOREARM THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000. *DT

ENGINE TICKING SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL @START UP AND DRIVING TRANSMISSION WHINING AND KICKS OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING

JUST PURCHASED A 2018 F150 XLT WITH XTR PACKAGE WITH APPROXIMATELY 36,500 MILES. NOTICED THAT VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL HAS PLAY AND TENDS TO SWAY, ALMOST FEELING LOOSE, WHEN DRIVING UNDER 50MPH. INFORMED DEALER AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED. ASKED DEALER FOR RESULTS OF ALIGNMENT CONDITION AND MEASUREMENTS PRIOR TO ALIGNMENT BEING PERFORMED AND WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT KEEP RECORDS OF PREVIOUS MEASUREMENTS ONLY RESULTS AND MEASUREMENTS AFTER WORK WAS PERFORMED. UPON LEAVING STEERING WHEEL STILL STEERS AWAY WHEN DRIVING UNDER 50MPH. WHEN COMPARED WITH OTHER VEHICLES IT DEFINITELY HAS PLAY. DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME HAZARDOUS ISSUE BEING REPORTED. SWAYING AND PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL IS CONSTANT UNDER 50MPH. CORRECTION OF STEERING WHEEL IS EXHAUSTING TO HANDS AND WRISTS AND FEELING OF BEING UNSAFE IS PRESENT WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE. HAVE CONTACTED DEALER, LEFT MESSAGE TO SPEAK MORE ON THIS AND NO ONE HAS CALLED US BACK SINCE WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN A WEEK AGO. WE HAVE OUR CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP!

VEHICLE WAS IN THE GARAGE, PARKED. I GOT IN STARTED THE VEHICLE, HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE WIND CHIMES, GOT OUT, LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND SAW GLASS. I THEN NOTICED THE BACK WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. THERE WAS NEVER ANY IMPACT TO THE WINDOW.

2018 F-150 PANORAMIC SUNROOF TRACKS AND MOTORS BROKE AND STUCK OPEN POSITION. WAS DRIVING AND WITH FUMES FROM OTHER CARS ENTERING MY VEHICLE FROM OPEN ROOF AND INABILITY TO CLOSE, I WAS GETTING LIGHTHEADED AND ALMOST PASSED OUT FROM EXHAUST FUMES SITTING IN TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE HAULING A TRAILER. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AFTER TWO MINUTES AND HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME WHILE REVVING THE ENGINE TO 1,500 RPM TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO A REST STATION. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANDERSON FORD BULLHEAD CITY (2585 AZ-95, BULLHEAD CITY, AZ 86442) AND SIEMANS FORD, INC. (8961 RED ARROW HWY, BRIDGMAN, MI 49106) HOWEVER, THE MECHANICS WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,400.

I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM BECAUSE THE TAIL LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT WATER WAS IN BOTH TAIL LIGHTS AND HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR $3,000. MY TRUCK IS A 2018, HAS ONLY 18,000 MILES AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND NO ACCIDENTS. THE SERVICE CLAIMED THE WATER GOT IN BECAUSE OF DAMAGE TO THE TAIL LIGHT. THE MARKS HE POINTED OUT ON THE TAIL LIGHTS WERE VERY LIGHT SCUFF MARKS AND COULD NOT ALLOW WATER TO GET INSIDE. THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE OF THE SCUFF MARKS. I WENT ON A FORD FORUM AND FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN PLENTY OF OTHER 2018 (AND OTHER YEARS) THAT HAD WATER IN THEIR TAIL LIGHTS AS WELL. THE TRUCKS THAT WERE OUT OF WARRANTY JUST REMOVE THE TAIL LIGHT, DRAINED THE WATER, APPLIED SILICON AROUND THE SEEMS OF THE TAIL LIGHT AND HAD NO ISSUES SINCE THEN. I'VE ATTACHED PICTURES. YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE IS NO WAY WATER COULD HAVE ENTER WHERE YOU SEE SCUFF MARKS LIKE THE SERVICE MANAGER CLAIMS. THE PICTURES ARE THE LEFT AND RIGHT TAIL LIGHTS. FORD FORUM ON TAIL LIGHT ISSUE: HTTPS://WWW.F150FORUM.COM/F118/WATER-MY-TAIL-LIGHT-452633/

TRUCK WILL STALL WHILE TOWING WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT EXIT. WILL NOT RESTART EASILY. PUT TRUCK IN PARK, CRANK TILL STARTS, REV ENGINE AND SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND KEEP RPMS UP TO DRIVE AWAY. WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AFTER STOPPING FOR GAS. WHILE TOWING , I WILL FUEL AT THE HALF TANK LEVEL. IT HAPPENS A LOT ON HOT DAYS. USUALLY AFTER ABOUT 2 HOURS + OF DRIVING . NO CODES THROWN AT ANY TIME. DEALER CAN NOT FIND ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR 2 YEARS.

BOTH TRACKS ON PANORAMIC ROOF ARE CRACKED AND PLASTIC PIECES FOUND IN TRACK. SUNROOF STUCK IN OPEN POSITION ON THE HIGHWAY. CANNOT CLOSE PANORAMIC ROOF SO HIGHWAY DEBRIS IS FLYING INTO VEHICLE. HAVE SAND AND ROAD DEBRIS HITTING PASSENGERS INSIDE VEHICLE.

REAR BACK GLASS RANDOMLY BUSTED OUT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE SLIDING REAR WINDOW WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON FEBRUARY 22ND, 2021.

I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN OCTOBER 2018, DOORS WOULD RANDOMLY FLY OPEN WHEN CORNERING. I BROUGHT IT IN THERE WAS A RECALL IT WAS FIXED. THEN WHEN IT IS BELOW 30 DEGREES MY REAR SENSOR DRIVERS SIDE WOULD SHOW A STEADY RED AND BEEP WHEN THERE WAS NO DANGER. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THERE IS MOST LIKELY MOISTURE IN THE SENSOR BUT WOULD NOT REPLACE IT. THEN AT 41,000 MILES MY ENGINE BLEW A ROD. THEY TOLD ME I WAS NOT CHANGING OIL FREQUENTLY ENOUGH. I CHANGE MY OWN OIL. I PROVIDED RECEIPTS FOR OIL BUT THEY WOULD NOT WARRANTY IT, I PAID $15,000 OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE A NEW ENGINE INSTALLED. I CALLED FORD CORPORATE AND AFTER FOUR MONTHS OF INVESTIGATING THEY HAD THE DEALER REFUND MY MONEY. THEN AT 43,000 MILES I WAS ON VACATION AND THE SUNROOF WOULD NOT CLOSE. I BROUGHT IT TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO SAID THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING IN THE TRACK BUT THEY WOULD NEED THE TRUCK FOR 4 DAYS AND I WAS LEAVING THE NEXT DAY. I BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER UPON RETURN AND THEY CHARGED ME $4,300 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE PANORAMIC ROOF RAILS AND CHASSIS. MOST RECENTLY MY 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING VERY HARD AND IN THE WEEKS FOLLOWING THAT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED ANOTHER LOCAL DEALER BECAUSE I HAD LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW FROM. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT PROPERLY SECURED AND CHAFING CAUSED IT TO RUN THROUGH AND CAUSE FALSE AND INTERMITTENT SIGNALS. THEY TOLD ME BECAUSE IT WAS NEGLIGENCE ON THE DEALER WHO REPLAC

I HAVE THE 2.7 ECOBOOST WITH 19,000 MILES ON IT AND OIL PAN IS LEAKING AND BEING REPLACED. NOT GOOD FOR A VEHICLE WITH SUCH LOW MILES ALSO THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFT S REAL HARD IN MULTIPLE GEARS MAINLY 5TH AND 3RD

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE BRAKING ON MY 2018 F150 V8 SINCE OWNING IT. THE BRAKES NEVER FELT RIGHT AND IT WOULD TAKE A LONGER THAN NORMAL DISTANCE TO BRAKE AS WELL AS NEEDING EXTRA BRAKE PEDAL FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I ENDED UPGRADING THE ROTORS AND PADS WHICH HELPED SOME. UPON INSPECTION OF THE BRAKES BEFORE UPGRADING, THE REAR PADS WERE COMPLETELY WORN AND THE FRONT PADS APPEARED IN NEWER CONDITION. SO THE TRUCK WAS MAINLY USING THE REAR BRAKES TO STOP WHICH EXPLAINS THE BRAKING ISSUES. BEFORE UPGRADING THE PADS AND ROTORS, ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I HEARD AND FELT 'POPPING' WHEN BREAKING. CURRENTLY I HAVE EXCESSIVE PEDAL TRAVEL WHEN BRAKING WHICH LEADS TO A DIAGNOSIS OF A DEFECTIVE MASTER CYLINDER. WHICH UPON RESEARCHING, THERE IS SUPPOSEDLY AN UPCOMING RECALL AS WELL AS LAWSUITS IN THE WORKS AS FORD KNEW ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE HITACHI MASTER BRAKE CYLINDERS.

HAVE PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION AND MAKING CLUCKING NOISE WHEN MOVE IT FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND AT LOW SPEEDS SOMETIMES AND ALSO WHEN IT SHIFTS IT IS VERY JERKY AND NOT SMOOTH. AND IT JUMPS GEAR LIKE 1 TO 4 AND 5 TO 8.

THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRIC POWER STEERING DOES NOT TURN BACK ON QUICKLY WHEN STARTING FROM START/STOP.THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE PURCHASING VEHICLE (02/2019). THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND THE STEERING DID POWER AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS.

THE VEHICLE DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY START WHEN RELEASING BRAKE AT A STOP LIGHT. NEEDED TO BE PUT BACK INTO PARK AND TURNED OVER USING KEY. VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY BEFORE THIS TOOK PLACE AND TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS ABOVE 50 DEGREES.
