2018 Ford F-150 complaints

10 SPEED TRANSMISSION HAS A PRETTY CONSISTENT HISTORY OF SHIFTING ROUGHLY, ESPECIALLY, SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS 3 & 4. IT ACTUALLY FAILS TO ENGAGE FORWARD BRIEFLY AND THEN MAKES A CLANGING NOISE BEFORE IT SHIFTS INTO 4TH GEAR; IN SPORT MODE IT WILL STICK IN 6TH GEAR. I HAVE REPORTED THESE PROBLEMS AT LEAST 4 TIMES TO SHOTTENKIRK FORD IN JASPER GA WHEN I HAVE HAD SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE PERFORMED. EVERY TIME I'VE BROUGHT MY TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE I WAS JUST TOLD A DIFFERENT EXCUSE AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE MOST RECENT SERVICE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID MY TRUCK WAS 2 QUARTS LOW ON TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. MY MOST RECENT AND MOST CONCERNING INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND SUDDENLY THERE WAS A LOUD POPPING NOISE, THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SWERVE BECAUSE OF LOSS OF POWER AND THEN IT KEPT TRYING TO SHIFT IN BETWEEN GEARS AND THEN I NOTICED WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR OF MY TRUCK. THE CARS THAT HAD FOLLOWED ME STARTED TO DROP BACK BECAUSE MY TRUCK WAS SPRAYING WHAT I BELIEVE TO HAVE BEEN TRANSMISSION FLUID OUT. I WAS OUT OF TOWN AND HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP IN COLUMBIA SC AND AFTER THEY CHECKED THE DIP STICK FOR THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND CLAIMED IT HAD TOO MUCH TRANSMISSION FLUID AND IT WAS NOT A WARRANTIED ITEM AND THAT MY TRUCK WAS FINE TO DRIVE. THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM HAS BEEN QUITE AGGRAVATING BUT NOW IT POSES A SERIOUS HAZARD TO ME AND MY FAMILY.

HARSH/ERRATIC SHUDDER WHEN SHIFTING AT APPROXIMATELY 1,100 RPM AND APPROX 38 MPH. POWER TRAIN LUGGING, SHUDDER GOES AWAY OVER 45 MPH. HARSH SHIFT FEELS LIKE BEING REAR-ENDED AND CAUSING WHIP-LASH. LOUD THUNK AND THEN SNAPPING SENSATION.

MY 2018 F150 IN THE MORNINGS WON'T SHIFT RIGHT IF YOU STEP ON GAS PEDAL NOTHING HAPPENS FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN IT LURCHES FORWARD AND BANGS IT WILL DO THE SAME THING AT NIGHT WHEN I BACK OUT OF PARKING SPOT IN REVERSE.TO GO HOME FROM WORK. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT IN TRANSMISSION THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 10,000 MILES ON IT.THIS IS MY 6TH FORD TRUCK NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I'M SURE THIS IS NOT NORMAL OR GOING TO FIX IT SELF.

THE DOORS DO NOT LATCH WHEN IT IS 32 DEGREES F OR COLDER. IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL 18N03 ON JANUARY 22, 2020. ON 2-02-2020 THE LATCH FROZE AGAIN ALONG WITH ON 2-04-2020, THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE. THE RECALL FIX DID WORK. THE DOOR WILL OPEN BUT WILL NOT LATCH. ONCE THE TEMPERATURE RISES, THEY WILL WORK AGAIN.

1.) F150 SUPERCAB DRIFTS ERRATICALLY. FORD HAS ALIGNED VEHICLE TWICE, BUT ISSUE REMAINS. FEELS LIKE TRUCK IS IN A HIGH-WIND ENVIRONMENT, BUT IT IS A CALM DAY. TRUCK WILL VEER OFF ROAD UNLESS EXTREME CARE IS EXERCISED. 2.) TRANSMISSION LUGS ON ACCELERATION, PARTICULARLY @ 1100RPM AND 38MPH. 3.) HARD "CLUNK/THUMP" SENSATION AT LOW SPEEDS, CAUSING SEVERE "WHIP-LASH" ACTION TO OCCUPANTS OF VEHICLE. 4.)WHEN TAKING SLOW LEFT TURN UP A STEEP INCLINE THE TRUCK LUGS AND TRANSMISSION FEEL LIKE IT IS SLIPPING AND UNABLE TO DOWNSHIFT, CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER AND MOMENTUM. 5.) ENGINE STALLS WHEN LEAVING STOP LIGHT. DASH LIGHTS COME ON SAYING" AUTO STARTSTOP SHIFT TO P, THEN RESTART ENGINE."THIS IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I AM ATTACHING A PICTURE OF THE DASHBOARD ERROR. PLEASE NOTICE I AM STILL IN "D" DRIVE WHEN THIS MESSAGE CAME UP.

WHILE IN MOTION, SEVERAL ITEMS OCCUR. IT BEGINS WITH FOLLOWING WARNING LIGHTS: "PARK BRAKE LIMITED FUNCTION" AND THE "HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE". THIS HAS RESULTED IN THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING, SUDDEN DECELERATION, ENGINE STALLING, AND TRANSMISSION ERRATICALLY SHIFTING. THIS HAS OCCURRED OVER TWENTY FOUR TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ON CITY STREETS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AT THE DEALER FIVE TIMES AND THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE.

SINCE SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASED NEW, TRUCK OFTEN LUNGES WHEN YOU FIRST COLD START THE TRUCK, PLACE IT INTO GEAR WITH THE FOOT ON THE BRAKE, AND PLACE IT INTO GEAR. IT ALSO APPEARS TO SEARCH FOR THE CORRECT GEAR WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. ALSO, OCCASIONS TRUCK MAY "CLUNK" INTO GEAR WHILE DRIVING. SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPORTS THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE ISSUE BUT AS I'VE STATED, ITS NOT A CONSISTENT PROBLEM AND THERE'S NO DEFINING REASON IT WOULD OCCUR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 15 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT FAILED TO ENGAGE AS A RESULT THE CONTACT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMNIATED. THE CONTACT STATED NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RE START. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHIPOLA FORD (4242 LAFAYETTE ST, MARIANNA, FL 32446) WHERE THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,249.

TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY LEAKS WATER CAUSING THE BULB TO BLOW. IT ACCURED TWICE IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS.

THIS TRUCK HAS A VERY CLUNKY TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER PURCHASE BUT THEY WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS TRUCK FEELS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS IT SHIFTS VERY HARD AND CAUSES IT TO JERK SPORADICALLY. IT ALSO MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE SOMETIMES WHEN YOU START THE TRUCK AS THE TRUCK ENGAGES THE TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF HER HUSBAND WHO OWNED A 2018 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PULLING INTO THE PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED CAUSING THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO A PILLAR IN A GARAGE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED BUT IT WAS DEFLATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES INCLUDING BRUISING BOTH ARMS AND THE PASSENGER WHICH WAS THE CONTACTS CHILD SUSTAINED BRUISING FROM THE SEATBELT. NO MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS SOUGHT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. USAA TOWED THE VEHICLE TO A LOT AND DEEMED THE VEHICLE A TOTAL LOSS. NO DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND HAS STARTED AN INVESTIGATION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 16,000.**JB

ALL 4 DOORS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED. THEY DO NOT LATCH, OR STAY CLOSED. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. TURNING, THE DOOR HAS OPENED AND THE BACK DOORS HAVE FROZEN AND NOT LATCHED. I HAVE VIDEO BUT THEY ARE TOO LARGE TO ATTACH. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES FOR THE SAME REPAIR, AND TO DATE THEY'VE HAD IT FOR 23 DAY. FEB 18 2019 DEC 11 2019 DEC 19 2019 JAN 7 2020 JAN 17 2020

WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND THE AUTO START-STOP IS ENGAGED, MOVING THE VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT. UPON RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WILL START AND BEGIN TO MOVE FORWARD HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STILL IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER. THIS DIFFICULTY WILL LAST FOR A FEW SECONDS UNTIL POWER STEERING IS RESTORED. THIS PROBLEM STARTED INTERMITTENTLY BUT HAS NOW BECOME A REGULAR EVENT.

LOUD CLUNK WHEN STARTING TRUCK AND DRIVE SHAFT MOVES. BROUGHT TO DEALER TWICE, JULY & OCT 2018 THEY FOUND NOTHING. WHEN AT A STOPD LIGHT/SIGN, IT HESITATES WHEN READY TO PROCEED, TRANSMISSION IS NOT ENGAGING RIGHT AWAY, IT'S DELAYED. VERY DANGEROUS. MY HUSBAND NOTICED SLIGHT JERKING AT TIMES. DRIVER SIDE DOOR FROZE AND COULD NOT OPEN TWICE. HAD TO USE PASSENGER SIDE.

THAT HAS A HARSH SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR REPORTED TO DEALER - PEGUES HURST FORD IN LONGVIEW TEXAS ON 10/18/2019 WITH 32,551 MILES ON VEHICLE. DEALER STATED THE TRUCK HAS A 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION AND THEY ARE "SQUIRRELY" AND THAT IS JUST HOW THEY ARE. 11/13/2019 FROM 20-30 MPH 3RD TO 4TH DIDNT SHIFT , WAS BETWEEN GEARS STUCK IN ROAD , THEN WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE , WHEN DID SLAMMED IN TO GEAR , SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING HAMMERING IN TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE HAS 33,339 MILES ON IT. ONCE AGAIN, SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT IS JUST HOW THE 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION IS - "SQUIRRELY". THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR OVER 36 DAYS DURING THE TWO TRIPS TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT. ON 1/17/2020 DROVE TO DEALER AND TALKED WITH SALES REP AND MANAGER AT PEGUES HURST FORD TO ATTEMPT TRADE AND DISCUSS THE CONTINUING PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION - MANAGER STATED "WE CAN ONLY FIX WHAT FORD TELLS US TO. I WOULD CALL FORD AND DISCUSS WITH THEM REPAIRING YOUR VEHICLE OR GETTING YOU INTO A NEW ONE. WHEN CROSSING US HWY 79 FROM CR 1408 IN JACKSONVILLE TEXAS, WHICH IS DONE DAILY, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AND OR STOP AND THEN LURCH FORWARD WHEN CHANGING FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR AND WHEN PUTTING INTO REVERSE THERE IS A LOUD METAL ON METAL SOUND AND ONE OCCASION THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE UNTIL LATER THAT DAY.

THE FIRST TWO MORNINGS AFTER IT SAT OUTSIDE IN TEMPERATURES IN THE TEENS THE DRIVERS DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. I HAD TO OPEN IT FROM THE INSIDE BY GETTING IN THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE. AFTER STARTING IT L COULD NOT GET THE DOOR TO SHUT UNTIL IT WARMED UP LATTER.

REAR TAILGATE WILL COME OPEN BY ITS SELF WHILE DRIVING

THE 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION IN THIS TRUCK DOES NOT SHIFT RIGHT. IT SHIFTS VERY HARD SOMETIMES NOT SHIFTING AT ALL. IT SHIFTS HARD ENOUGH TO CAUSE WHIPLASH. ALSO THE DOORS WHEN IT IS COLD OUT DO NOT LATCH CAUSING THE DOOR TO REMAIN OPEN. MY CHILD ALMOST FELL OUT OF MY VEHICLE LUCKILY SHE HAD HER SEAT BELT ON

ALL FOUR DOORS ARE SUBJECT TO FREEZING. IT IS IN FOR THE SECOND TIME. A RECALL HAS ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED. THE PROBLEM IS THE DOOR WILL OPEN AND WILL NOT LATCH BACK CLOSED. THIS RESULTS IN HAVING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE DOOR UNLATCHED AND SWINGING OPEN FREELY. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE THAT NEEDS SOME ATTENTION. THIS IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WHEN THE DOOR MUST BE HELD SHUT WHILE DRIVING

FORD CURRENTLY HAS AN ISSUE WITH DOOR LATCHES NOT LATCHING SHUT. I'VE HAD MY REAR PASSENGER DOOR COME OPEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY DAUGHTER SITTING THERE SCARED TO DEATH. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I'VE HAD MY TRUCK IN SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL FIX AND THE SAME PROBLEM STILL EXISTS I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES NOW AND IT STILL IS NOT CORRECTED. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE SOMEONE FORCED FORD TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS UNBELIEVABLE PROBLEM THAT IS GETTING SWEPT UNDER THE RUG?

I PURCHASED THE USED 2018 FORD F150 PLATINUM AT LITHIA FORD, BOISE ID WITH 15K MILES ON IT. SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT THE FRONT END HAS BEEN HARD TO KEEP ON THE ROAD. I HAVE TAKEN THIS UNIT TO THE DEALER TWICE NOW AND THEY HAVE HAD THE UNIT 40 PLUS DAYS TRYING TO REPAIR THE STEERING ISSUE. THE TRUCK WILL PULL INTO A RIGHT OR LEFT BY ITSELF AND IS VERY UNSAFE AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY VERIFIED THE COMPLAINT AND SAID THE STEERING GEAR WAS THE DEFECT AFTER HAVING THE UNIT 2 WEEKS. THEY REPLACED THE STRG GEAR AND SAID IT WAS REPAIRED. I PICKED THE UNIT UP AND DROVE IT AND IT WAS THE SAME SO I TOOK IT BACK THE NEXT DAY. THEY DROVE IT WITH ME AND AGAIN WE VERIFIED THE COMPLAINT. THE FORD TECHNICAL REP CAME OUT TO THE DEALER AND CHECKED THE TRUCK. HE ALSO VERIFIED THE COMPLAINT THE THEN SAID IT WAS THE TIRES AND WHEELS AND THEY ALL DRIVE LIKE THAT SINCE ITS A PLATINUM MODEL. HE STATED I DRIVE ONE AND IT DOES THE SAME THING. THE TIRES AND WHEELS ARE THE FACTORY OEM PARTS NOTHING HAS BEEN CHANGED OR MODIFIED. THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE AND NOT STABLE. THE SERVICE WRITER DROVE IT FOR A WEEK AND HE CONFIRMED THE DEFECT BUT SAID FORD WILL NOT MAKE ANY MORE REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO REPAIR THE ISSUE AND SAID WE WILL CALL YOU IF THEY COME UP WITH SOMETHING. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT DUE TO THE SAFETY CONCERN OF MYSELF AND OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROADWAYS. ITS DANGEROUS. I HAD ANOTHER 2018 F150 SPORT WITHOUT LANE ASSIST AND IT DROVE FINE. BOTH UNITS WERE PURCHASED FROM THE SAME DEALERSHIP.

PASSENGER DOOR LOCK FREEZES, DOOR WILL NOT SECURE. PASSENGER IS ENDANGERED.

DOOR LOCKS FREEZING DRIVER DOOR NOT SHUTTING SO UNABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY AS DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE

DOOR LATCH FREEZING, UNABLE TO CLOSE ONCE OPENED. DOOR APPEARED TO BE CLOSED BUT SWINGS OPEN WHEN DRIVING AND TURNING A CORNER. HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES IN LAST 2 MONTHS

HAVE NOISE WHEN OPORATING THE VEHICLE.

SEEMS LIKE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS TRYING TO ENGAGE

WHEN FREEZING TEMPERATURES DRIVERS DOOR DOESN'T LATCH PROPERLY

THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR WILL NOT STAY LATCHED/ CLOSED.

ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2018 I PURCHASED A NEW 2018 FORD F150 5.0 V8. ON 02/16/2019 (4,546 MILES) AFTER THE FIRST OIL CHANGE IT BEGAN MAKING A KNOCKING LIKE NOISE. FORD SAID IT WAS NORMAL, BUT THE KNOCK WASN'T THERE BEFORE THE OIL CHANGE. FORD TRIED TO SAY IT WAS THE DIRECT INJECTION MAKING THE NOISE. WHICH MIGHT BE TRUE BUT OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE KNOCKING NOISES AND HAVE HAD SCORED CYLINDERS THAT REQUIRED THE ENGINE BLOCKS TO BE REPLACED BY FORD. ALSO ON 07/04/2019 (10,416 MILES) I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A RATTLING NOISE WHEN COLD FROM 1200-2000 RPM. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS NOISE, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A TSB FOR THE RATTLING NOISE. ON 07/16/2019 I TOOK MY TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER (FRIENDLY FORD IN LAS VEGAS) AND THE TSB WAS PREFORMED ON THE TRUCK (TSB# 18-2354) THE TSB DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. ON 10/23/2019 (12,600 MILES) I TOOK MY TRUCK TO TEAM FORD IN LAS VEGAS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT FORD TOLD THEM THE ISSUE WAS NORMAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS. IF EITHER OF THESE NOISES WERE NORMAL, THEN IT WOULD HAVE MADE THEM WHEN IT WAS BRAND NEW. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP TO FORD BY NUMEROUS OWNERS OF F150'S AND MUSTANGS WITH THE SAME ENGINE. FORD REFUSES TO FIX ANYTHING AND JUST SAYS THE ISSUES ARE NORMAL. SINCE FORD INSSUED A TSB FOR THE RATTLE ISSUE AND REPLACED ENGINE BLOCKS FOR THE KNOCKING IT TELLS ME FORD KNOWS THESE ARE ISSUES AND THEY ARE NOT NORMAL WITHOUT NHTSA OR FTC INTERVENTION FORD MAY NOT FIX THESE PROBLEMS UNDER WARRANTY. THEY WIL

DOOR LATCHES FREEZE PROHIBITING ENTRY TO THE VEHICLE AND/OR PROHIBITING THE DOORS TO LATCH AND STAY CLOSED. PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AND YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE DOOR(S) CLOSED OR IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE DOOR IS FROZEN AND YOU'RE SURPRISED WHEN THE DOOR SWINGS OPEN IN TRAFFIC. FORD HAS PERFORMED TSB SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES AND IS NOW STATING THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ARE DELAYED AND SOMETIMES HARSH. WHEN MAKING TURNS FROM A DEAD STOP ON PAVED STREET, THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS OR BUCKS (EXCESSIVE PLAY IN THE DRIVE SYSTEM, A GUMMED UP VALVE BODY, OLD TRANS FLUID OR STICKING VALVE BODY PISTONS?)

TRUCK HAS 24,000 MILES GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE TRUCK WILL JERK RIGHT OR LEFT AND STEERING GETS HARD HAVE TO KEEP VERY ALERT WHILE DRIVING NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL JERK RIGHT OR LEFT VERY DNGEROUS

F150 XLT 4X4 3.5L V6 10 SPEED AUTO 56,000 MI. WHEN STARTING TO DRIVE COLD, MODERATE ACCELERATION WILL CAUSE HESITATION AND MISSED SHIFTING FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR. IT CAUSES A HARD SHIFT WHEN IT FINALLY OCCURS, WITH A DISTINCT "CLUNK", WHICH CANNOT BE GOOD FOR TRANSMISSION OR REAR END. SAFETY ISSUE IF UNABLE TO ACCELERATE TO SPEED WHEN NEEDED ON HIGHWAY RAMPS. THIS HAS OCCURRED FOR THE LAST 20,000 MILES OR SO.

ON 01/09/2020 I PARKED MY 2018 FORD F 150 IN A PARKING LOT WHEN WE CAME BACK WE HEARD A LOUD POP AND WITHOUT ANY INFLUENCE FROM OUTSIDE OR INSIDE THE BACK WINDOW WITH THE SLIDER INSIDE SHATTERED. WE DROVE TO OUR FORD DEALER AND HE TOLD AS THAT THE GLASS BROKE WITHOUT ANY IMPACT FROM OUTSIDE AND HE IS HAPPY THAT THIS HAS NOT HAVE HAPPENED DURING DRIVING BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. WE CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY WHO DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY EVEN IF THEIR ARE MULTIPLE CLAIMS REPORTED FROM OTHER FORD F 150 DRIVERS WITH THE SAME MODEL. THE DEFROSTER FOR THE WINDOW WAS USED THIS MORNING BECAUSE IT WAS FREEZING AND THE WINDOW INDICATED THAT IT BROKE BECAUSE OF TO MUCH HEAT AND STRESS IN THE GLASS WHAT IS IN MY OPINION A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT FORD SHOULD RECALL THIS CARS BECAUSE THEY ARE A DANGER TO THEIR DRIVER AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-150. WITHOUT WARNING, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE TAILGATE UNEXPECTEDLY OPENED. ONCE THE TAILGATE WAS CLOSED, IT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY OPEN AGAIN. AL PACKER'S WHITE MARSH FORD (9801 PULASKI HWY, MIDDLE RIVER, MD 21220, (866) 981-3574) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 25,788.

THE AUTOMATIC START/STOP FUNCTION TURNS THE TRUCK "OFF" AT A STOP. WHEN WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE HAS TURNED OFF AND THE WHEEL IS ENGAGED IN A TURNING ANGLE, THE POWER STEERING DOES NOT TURN BACK ON AS THE ENGINE TURNS BACK ON. THE RESULT IS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING THROUGH THE TURN PUTTING ME IN MULTIPLE SITUATIONS WHERE I HAVE NO POWER STEERING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC UNTIL IT FINALLY ENGAGES APPROXIMATELY 2 SECONDS LATER. IN MULTIPLE SITUATIONS I HAVE HAD TO USE ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO TURN THE WHEEL AND THE VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER STEERING, OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC AS I AM MAKING A TURN.

THE STEERING WHEEL IS COMING LOOSE.

THE FRONT DASHBOARD WARPED UP IN FRONT AND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OVER THE AIRBAG. IT WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP , FORD REDD MCCOMBS. FORD COMPANY APPROVED TO REPLACE THE DASH. IT WAS REPLACED AFTER 5 MONTHS WAITING. AND NO UNCERTAINTY OF SAFETY OF DASHBOARD OVER THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ,POSSIBLY DEPLYING OR EXPLODING. THE SECOND DASH REPLACEMENT HAS WARPED IN THE SAME AREAS AND MORE. THE AREAS OVER THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, AS WELL AS THE DRIVER SIDE ON FRONT DASHBOARD. THE COMPANY AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP HAVE NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THE DASHBOARDS ARE WARPING . I HAVE SEEN AND PHOTOGRAPHED MANY OTHER TRUCKS WITH SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND THE SUFFER THE SAME PROBLEM. IF A PERSON IS NOT LOOKING FOR THE PROBLEM ,THEY WILL NEVER SEE IT UNTIL IT GETS WORSE AND THE WARRENTY HAS EXPIRED AND THEY ARE PROBABLY THINKING ITS THE TEXAS HEAT AND SUN. BUT THIS IS A TRUE VEHICLE HAZARD AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE ADDRESSED FURTHER IF YOU ALL DON'T WISH TO HELP OR GUIDE ME INTO THE RIGHT DIRECTION. IYS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN AND ITS IN ALL F150 TRUCKS FROM 2017 TO 2020. I HAVE SEEN THE FLAW IN THE 2020 MODEL AT THE CAR SHOW THAT WAS HELD IN SAN ANTONIO TX, BACK IN NOVEMBER ,2019.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE DEALER KNOWING IT WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR CRASHED BUT STILL IS A CLEAN TITLE I HOPED THE BODY DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED TODAY I FOUND OUT THERE'S BODY OR FRAME DAMAGE BEHING THE DOOR WHEN I OPEN OR CLOSE IT IT MAKES A NOISE LIKE AN OLD RUSTY CAR,IT WAS STATIONARY WHEN I OPENED IT AND SAW THE DAMAGE

I PERFORMED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT BUT THE CAR IS STILL GOING TO ONE SIDE IF I LET GO OF THE STEERING THIS VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT I DONT FEEL SAFE BECAUSE I CANT KEEP THE CAR IN A STRAIGHT LINE

FIRST COMPLAINT ON AUGUST 21/19. TO HAGERSTOWN FORD DEALERSHIP THAT THIS TRUCK DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY! THE HARDSHIFT CLUCK, USING OIL 1QT LOW AT 2400 MILES, WARPING DASH, RATTLING SOUNDS BAD.(LIKE VALUES RATTLING) MY DOOR LATCHES FREEZE.. I HAVE NOW AS OF 12/23/19 HAVE ADDED A TOTAL OF 5QTS OF OIL TO THIS TRUCK WITH ONLY JUST OVER 5000 MILES ON IT.YOU CAN SMELL BURNED OIL COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND EXHAUST.I HAVE SEVERAL VIDEO DOCUMENTATION TO MY STATEMENT! I SPOKE WITH LARRY WHEN THE TRUCK WAS DROPPED OFF IN NOVEMBER TO HAVE DASH REPLACED FOR A WEEK,TO CALL ME AND TELL ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE CORRECT DASH? I HAVE CONTACTED LARRY IN REGARDS TO THIS VECHILE OIL USE IS UNREAL!!! NO NEW VECHILE GOES THROUGH OIL LIKE THIS! I AM TOLD TO KEEP ADDING OIL.. WHY ARE YOU NOT COVERING THE OIL, IT'S UNDER WARRANTY? THIS TRUCK IS BY FAR THE WORST VECHILE I HAVE EVER OWNED!!!!! I FEEL I'M GETTING THE RUN AROUND N IF SOMETHING ISN'T RESOLVE SOON I WILL TAKE FURTHER ACTION. SO I'VE ALSO BEEN ADVISE THAT THE OIL BACKFLOW THAT'S BURNING OUT THE EXHAUST THE FILTERS WILL HAVE OIL CONSUMPTION THROUGH THEM AS WELL!! DID I GET A LEMON! I THINK SO!

AFTER STOPPING IN TRAFFIC AND WAITING TO TURN LEFT IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STEER AS I ACCELERATED FROM A STOP. THIS CAUSED ME TO DRIVE STRAIGHT ACROSS THE INTERSECTION INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC RATHER THAN MAKING MY PLANNED, IMMEDIATE LEFT TURN. AS THE TRUCK DROVE STRAIGHT RATHER THAN TURNING, AND AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO FORCE THE WHEEL LEFT WITH BOTH HANDS, SUDDENLY THE STEERING FUNCTION RETURNED TO NORMAL. I NARROWLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE UNEXPECTED LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE TRUCK AND CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP. A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WAS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL THE FOLLOWING WEEK SO I DROVE THE TRUCK HOME. THE NEXT DAY (SATURDAY) A SERVICE ADVISER FROM THE FORD DEALER CALLED AND ASKED ME TO DROP THE TRUCK OFF THE FOLLOWING MONDAY AFTERNOON. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SINCE THE INITIAL INCIDENT. IN MY OPINION THE ISSUE MAY BE RELATED TO THE IMPROPER FUNCTION OF THE POWER STEERING AFTER THE STOP /START FUNCTION OF THE TRUCK IS ACTIVATED. THERE IS A MEASURABLE LAG BETWEEN THE ENGINE'S RE-START AND THE REACTIVATION OF THE POWER STEERING. THE TRUCK IS ALLOWED TO TRAVEL BEFORE THE POWER STEERING IS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.

THE LEFT REAR DOOR DOES NOT ALWAYS LATCH PROPERLY AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT UNLOCK. OCCASIONALLY THE REAR DOOR MUST BE SECURED BY TYING IT TO SOMETHING FROM THE INSIDE SO THAT IT DOES NOT FLY OPEN. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE, TO HAVE THE MECHANISM REPLACED AND TO HAVE FORD'S DOOR SEALING RECALL COMPLETED. THE OTHER 3 DOORS WORK FINE.

DRIVERS DOOR OPENED BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. TRIED TO SHUT IT AND IT WOULD NOT SHUT. IT APPEARS THE TRUCK HAS THE FREEZE DOOR LATCH ISSUE THAT FORD HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS. THE NHTSA SHOULD DEMAND A RECALL AND MAKE FORD FIX THE VEHICLES CORRECTLY. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE GETTING THE SERVICE PERFORMED AND IT IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU DOOR CAN FLY OPEN AT ANYTIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR DID NOT LATCH. THE CONTACT HAD TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED UNTIL HE ARRIVED HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO HEMPSTEAD FORD LINCOLN (301 N FRANKLIN ST, HEMPSTEAD, NY 11550). THE PARTS WERE ORDERED AND THE VEHICLE WAS PLANNING TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,908.

WHEN BELOW FREEZING THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH AFTER OPEN. VEHICLE OPERATOR NEEDS TO PHYSICALLY HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED BECAUSE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH.

MY F150 HAS A DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCH/DOOR. IN THE COLD IT FREEZES, YOU CANT OPEN THE DOOR OR THE DOOR WON'T CLOSE/LOCK, IT BASICALLY SWINGS OPEN. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE FORUMS WHICH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS. FORD REPLACES THE PARTS WITH THE SAME PARTS WHICH IN SOME CASES DOESNT FIX THE ISSUE. THIS IS VERY SCARY IF YOU SOMEONE CLOSES THE DOOR THINKING IT LOCKED AND IT SWINGS OPEN WHILE YOUR DRIVING. ALSO SOMEONE CAN BE TRAPPED IN THE CAR BECAUSE THE DOOR IS FROZEN SHUT. LUCKLY I WAS HOME IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPENED. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS SOMEONE CAN GET HURT.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY BAD, COLD. HESITATES, AND SHIFTS LATE.WARM, IT WILL NOT SHIFT WHEN THROTTLE IS PUSHED AFTER RELEASING THROTTLE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE REACCELERATING. LEFT FRONT DOOR FREEZES BAD IN COLD WEATHER, TWICE IN TWO DAYS NOW, TAKES 15-20 MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL STAY LATCHED. NO OTHER DOORS ARE AFFECTED. SERIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE DOOR MAY OPEN WHILE DRIVING.RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM ON OTHER YEARS. VERY DANGEROUS.

2018 FORD F150 RAPTOR, ORDERED AND RECEIVED APRIL 1 2018. ONLY 7000 MILES. HAS BEEN INTO FORD DEALER TWICE FOR SLIPPING TRANSMISSION ISSUES, LOUD BANGING NOISE AND TRANSMISSION RATTLING AND SLIPPING. HAVE PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC SEVERAL TIMES AND THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND VEHICLE JUST REVS UP. ALSO CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY AND ALSO CITY STREET

I HAVE NOTICED MY TAILGATE RANDOMLY DOWN BUT NEVER THOUGHT MUCH ABOUT IT. WEDNESDAY THE 11TH OF DECEMBER 2019 I WAS TOWING A CAR HAULER TRAILER. I DROVE TO MY LOCATION AND MADE A TURN AND HEARD A CRUNCHING NOISE. IT TURNS OUT THE TAILGATE WAS DOWN AND IN A TURN IT GOT CRUNCHED BY THE TRAILER JACK. I TOOK IT TO MY FORD DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. IT IS SCHEDULED FOR DEC 26TH. TAILGATE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. TAILGATE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED.
