2018 Ford F-150 complaints

TRANSMISSION HAS A SHUDDER WHEN UNDER A LOAD. YOU CAN PUSH THE ACCELERATOR JUST ENOUGH AT HIGHER SPEEDS THAT IT DOESN'T DOWN SHIFT TO MAKE IT SHUDDER. FEELS LIKE A MISFIRE BUT NO CODES. ALSO PERIODICALLY WHEN YOU PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE IS SHAKES. MY DEALER HAS REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND VALVE BODY ON THE TRANSMISSION PER FORDS RECOMMENDATION BUT STILL NO FIX. TRUCK IS STILL WELL INSIDE FACTORY WARRANTY.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 10, MY TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY DOWNSHIFTED TO 1 AT ~55 MPH!! THIS WAS THE WORST OF SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THE TRANSMISSION EITHER FAILING TO SHIFT PROPERLY OR JERKING THE VEHICLE WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. I'VE ALSO HAD THE VEHICLE STUCK IN 2ND GEAR WHILE TRYING TO ENTER THE FREEWAY. THE DEALERSHIP AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOW NO CONCERN AS THEY RELY ON SERVICE CODES INSTEAD OF ROAD TESTS AND CUSTOMER INPUT. I HOPE I'M ABLE TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM A MANUFACTURER I CAN TRUST. IT'S UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE I HAVE OWNED FORD F-150S FOR THE PAST 6 YEARS AND DRIVEN THEM SINCE HIGH SCHOOL. THIS NEW 10-SPEED TRANSMISSION SHOULD'VE NEVER BEEN RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC. I SEE OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE SO HOPEFULLY A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS SOON TO FOLLOW!

I PURCHASED A NEW 2018 F-150 PLATINUM WITH HANKOOK DYNAPRO HTM 275/55/20 TIRES. AT 5,000 MILES THE REAR DRIVER TIRE DEVELOPED A BULGE IN THE SIDEWALL APPROXIMATELY 3 INCHES LONG AND 3/4 INCH WIDE FROM CENTER OF SIDEWALL TO THE TREAD. AT 7,500 MILES A SIMILAR BULGE DEVELOPED IN THE FRONT DRIVER TIRE. FRONTIER FORD IN SANTA CLARA, CA SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME TO CALL HANKOOK AND HANKOOK TOLD ME IT WAS THE DEALERS RESPONSIBILITY TO WARRANTY THE TIRE. THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON AND I NEED HELP TO GET SOMEONE TO TAKE ACTION. THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS ONLINE REGARDING HANKOOK TIRE SIDEWALL AND TREAD DEFECTS AND THIS TIRE NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO A RECALL LIST BEFORE IT CAUSES HARM. PICTURES AND SERVICE RECORDS CAN BE OBTAINED FROM FRONTIER FORD AND FORD MOTOR CORP CASE #CAS-22012913. IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH HANKOOK TIRES PLEASE REPORT YOUR CONCERNS TO HELP PREVENT THESE TIRES FROM CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR REAL HARM. THANK YOU

BRAND NEW TRUCK WITH 750 MILES WAS STATIONARY AT A LIGHT WITH CARS STATIONARY ALL AROUND WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE A HUGE BOOM/EXPLOSION HAPPENED. I LOOK IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR AND SEE THAT THE ENTIRE REAR WINDOW(SAVE THE MIDDLE SLIDER WINDOW THAT'S ONE A SEPARATE TRACK) HAS SHATTERED, BUT MOSTLY INTACT, INTO A MILLION PIECES. UPON CLOSE INSPECTION I NOTICED 99% OF THE GLASS IN THE BED AND OF TRUCK AND A FEW VERY SMALL PARTICLES ON THE REAR HEADRESTS. THE TWO NOTICEABLE HOLES IN THE REAR WINDOW ARE ON OPPOSITE SIDES FROM EACH OTHER AND ARE PROTRUDING OUT AS THOUGH SOMETHING TRANSPIRED IN THE CAB AND BLEW THE GLASS OUTWARDS. NO FOREIGN OBJECTS FOUND IN THE VEHICLE OR IN THE BED, NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK OR REMAINING WINDOWS. NO MACHINERY OPERATING IN THE AREA OR LANDSCAPE WORK NEARBY. I PURCHASED THE KING RANCH DIESEL HALF TON NEW FROM BAYTOWN FORD THREE WEEKS AGO, JUNE 28TH, 2019. THE TRUCK HAD 90 MILES ON IT AT DELIVERY AND I HAD IT REPLACED WITH FORD OEM PARTS THE NEXT DAY AT A COST OF $750. BAYTOWN FORD HAS FILED A CLAIM ON MY BEHALF WITH FORD; THEY AREN'T OPTIMISTIC.

WHEN STARTING ENGINE IT WILL HIT VERY HARD SOUND LIKE THE TRANSMISSION BUT IN FACT IS CHAIN TENSIONER. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE SEEING A LOT OF THESE ISSUES WITH THE 5.0 THIS NEEDS ADDRESSED AS I'M LUCK ENOUGH THAT IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY.

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS (DIFFERENT TRIPS) WHILE PULLING A 21' CAMPER ON THE INTERSTATE AT 60-65 MPH, MY TRUCK WOULD IMMEDIATELY STALL WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START IT AFTER GETTING GAS. I WOULD HAVE TO REV THE ENGINE IN ORDER TO KEEP IT RUNNING AND THEN A PROMINENT "CLUNK" WOULD SOUND WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE. IT RAN ROUGH INITIALLY BUT SEEMED TO OPERATE OKAY ONCE MOVING AND WOULD ONCE AGAIN DIE OUT IF THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND RE-STARTED. LET IT SET FOR AN HOUR WHILE EATING AND IT'S OKAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS CRACKED FROM THE INSIDE. AS A RESULT, ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT WAS FUNCTIONAL.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,900.

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN FEBRUARY OF 2019. SINCE THEN THE TAILGATE HAS OPENED ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING 5 TIMES. THIS LAST TIME WAS ON JULY 2ND, 2019.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-150. WHEN APPROACHING A STOP OR MAKING A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE CONTACT CRACKED HIS ELBOW WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT RECEIVED. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE MORE FORCE THAN USUAL TO TURN AND STEER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO OTHER UNKNOWN DEALERS AND SERVICED FIVE TIMES, BUT EACH REPAIR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO ASTROG FORD (2028 7TH ST, PARKERSBURG, WV 26101, (304) 485-8585) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT WAS "THE NATURE OF THE TRUCK AND THEY SHOULD DEAL WITH IT". THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,329.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT HEARD A POP SOUND WHILE TRYING TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A HALT. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE FROM THE CENTER LANE TO THE LEFT LANE UNTIL HE REACHED A PARKING LOT. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ALL AMERICAN FORD (3306 BRIDGE AVE, POINT PLEASANT, NJ 08742, 732-451-3582) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE REPAIR WAS PENDING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,037.

TAILGATE OPENED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET, NOTWITHSTANDING THAT THE GATE WAS SECURELY CLOSED; HAD NOT BEEN OPENED IN WEEKS; AND NEITHER THE TAILGATE RELEASE ON KEY FOB, NOR THE RELEASE BUTTON ON THE GATE HAD BEEN ACTIVATED

THE TRUCK TAIL GATE FELL OUT WHILE OPENING IT

SEE ATTACHED

THE TAILGATE ON MY 2018 FORD F-150 HAS THE AUTOMATIC OPEN OPTION FROM THE KEY FOB. I FIRST EXPERIENCED THE TAILGATE HAD OPENED ON ITS OWN WHEN I WENT OUTSIDE TO GO TO WORK AND FOUND TAILGATE WAS OPEN. I DIDN'T THINK TO MUCH ABOUT IT AT THE TIME. THEN WHILE I WAS PULLING A TRAILER I WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP AND HEARD A WHAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING HAD FALLEN OVER INSIDE TRAILER. STOPPED TO INVESTIGATE AND FOUND TAILGATE HAD OPENED AND FELL ON THE TRAILER JACK HANDLE ON THE HITCH. THIS BROKE THE TAILGATE HANDLE HOUSING THE BUTTON FOR OPENING TAILGATE, THE LIGHT AND BACKUP CAMERA. I HAD NO IDEA HOW THIS COULD'VE HAPPEN. NO WAY COULD THE KEY FOB COULD HAVE ACTIVATED THE AUTO RELEASE AS IT WAS ON THE CONSUL WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET FOR ANY POSSIBLE CAUSES AND FOUND MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

POWER IS BEING TRANSFERRED TO THE DRIVESHAFT WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK, MAKING THE DRIVESHAFT SPIN BACKWARDS. A LOUD MECHANICAL CLUNK IS HEARD FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHEN OCCURRING. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHEN STARTING. AFTER 6 WEEKS AND THREE ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR, FORD STATED "THIS GEAR STATE IS IDEAL FOR ANTICIPATION OF AN ENGAGEMENT BUT ALSO GENERATES A POSITIVE DRAG TO THE DRIVELINE AND CAN CAUSE A ROCKING SENSATION OF THE VEHICLE AT OR JUST AFTER ENGINE START IN PARK. THE 2 LOANER F-150S DRIVEN WHILE WAITING WITH THE 10R80 TRANSMISSION DID NOT EXHIBIT THE CONDITION.

THE KEY IN THE IGNITION ALARM WAS CONSTATNTLY SOUNDING AFTER THE TRUCK WAS SHUT OFF, AFTER THE KEY WAS REMOVED. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A SHORT IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. THIS IS A NEW 2018 TRUCK WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH FORD?

2,363 MILES ON THE TRUCK IT DOWNSHIFTED ON THE HWY FROM 80 MPH TO 20 MPH ON ITS OWN, WITH A LOUD NOISE. HAD TO GET IN THE SLOW LANE SO NOT TO HAVE A WRECK. IT IS EQUIPPED WITH AUTO START, WHERE THE TRUCK ENGINE AUTOMATICALLY STOPS AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT AND RESTARTS ON ITS OWN. THE TRUCKED SHUT ITSELF OFF WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND HAD TO BE PUT IN PARK AND RESTARTED, ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK. TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN, WHEN IT MADE A LOUD NOISE AND FELT LIKE WE HIT SOMETHING WHEN GOING 55 MPH,THE TRUCK JOLTED WE AGAIN GOT IN THE SLOW LANE. THEN WHEN SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY THE MOTOR STARTED RACING ON ITS OWN NOT TOUCHING THE EXCELERATOR. HAD TO TURN OFF TRUCK. WE ARE AFRAID TO TAKE OUR GRANDKIDS IN OUR NEW 2018 TRUCK WE ARE PAYING DEARLY FOR. THE LAST TIME WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. WE ARE ABOUT TO RETIRE AND WANTED THIS TRUCK TO BE OUR LAST, WE HAVE NOT EVEN HAD IT A YEAR. WE HAVE DONE SOME CHECKING ONLINE, WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES EXPERIENCING THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS.

ABOUT 8 MO. OLD 11,000 MI 2.7 L ECOBOOST ENGINE SMOKES ON COLD START UP OIL IS GETTING SOMEPLACE IT SHOULD NOT & COULD CAUSE PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE IN TRAFFIC. IT SEEMS HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM USUALLY STARTING AT ABOUT 6-7 MONTHS OLD AND 10,000 MILES OR LESS. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AT START UP SOMETIME A SMALL PUFF ABOUT WHEELBARROW SIZE OFTEN A LARGE AMOUNT THAT ENVELOPES THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. FORD F-150

MY 2018 F150 RAPTOR HAS A VAGUE STEERING FEEL AND OCCASIONALLY THE TRUCK WILL AUTO OVER CORRECT THE STEERING WHEN TRYING TO COMPENSATE FOR WIND AND WEATHER. THE ALIGNMENT HAS BEEN CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES BY BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND INDEPENDENT SHOPS AND VERIFIED AS CORRECT. THE STEERING WHEN CENTER WILL OCCASIONALLY DRIFT TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER, ALSO HAPPENS WHEN CORNERING. IT FEELS AS THOUGH IT'S CONSTANTLY WINDY WHEN DRIVING, EVEN WHEN THERE IS CALM WEATHER. I'VE HAD THE TRUCK INSPECTED BY THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY HAVE CONTACTED FORD DIRECT WHO HAS REPLIED THE TRUCK IS BEHAVING NORMALLY.

I HAVE REPORTED MY BRAKE PEDAL THAT GOES TO THE FLOOR DIRECTLY TO FORD'S F-150 ENGINEER. I WAS TOLD MY TRUCK'S BRAKES ARE NORMAL. TODAY, IN A BUSINESS PARKING LOT MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I LOST THE ABILITY TO STOP AND RAN INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF MY PARKING SPOT. I HAD MY KIDS AND IN-LAWS IN THE TRUCK WITH ME. MY BRAKES ARE NOT CLOSE TO BEING NORMAL. FORD HAS KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH RECENT MODEL F-150 BRAKES. FORD WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO TRY FIX MY BRAKES. HAVING RANDOM ACCIDENTS WITH MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS TRUCK SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE ROAD AT FORD'S EXPENSE

5.0 V-8. MY TRUCK CONSUMES OVER 2 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 2500 MILES. FORD SAYS THIS IS NORMAL. MY TRUCK'S FUEL ECONOMY IN ANY DRIVING CONDITIONS IS NEVER BETTER THAN 11.9 MPG'S WHICH SHOULD BE AND WAS MUCH BETTER THAN THIS WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT. MY ENGINE KNOCKS. MY ENGINES WHINES AND WHISTLES. MY ENGINE IS DOWN ON POWER NOTICEABLY ON THE INTERSTATE WHICH MAKES DRIVING THE TRUCK DANGEROUS. ALL OF THIS FORD SAYS IS NORMAL. NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL UNLESS IT WAS A 1976 PINTO. THIS TRUCK SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE ROAD PERMANENTLY

PURCHASED F150 IN MARCH 2018, FIRST OWNER OF VEHICLE. ON SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2018 THE VEHICLE, WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED (~65 MPH) DID A KICK AND TOOK THE VEHICLE OUT OF CRUISE CONTROL. IMMEDIATELY THE DASH DISPLAYED "CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM". BRAKES RESPONDED WHAT FELT LIKE NORMAL, PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF VEHICLE AND INSPECTED THE TRUCK. AFTER A FEW MINUTES TURNED TRUCK ON AND ERROR MESSAGE WAS GONE. NO OTHER WARNING LIGHTS DISPLAYED. VEHICLE FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. FEBRUARY 15, 2019, SAME THING HAPPENED WITH "CHECK SYSTEM BRAKES"; BUT THIS TIME APPEARED AT SLOWER SPEED (~5 MPH) AS I WAS PULLING INTO MY GARAGE. TURNED OFF VEHICLE, MESSAGE DISPLAY DISAPPEARED, NO OTHER WARNING LIGHTS. CALLED FORD DEALERSHIP AND SAID THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF THIS ISSUE AND BRING IT IN IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. SEEMED THEY DIDN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH ME THEN. TODAY MAY 17TH, THE SAME INCIDENT AS THE FIRST ONE HAPPENED AGAIN AT THE SAME SPEEDS AND LOCATION ON MY DRIVE (HAVE ~1 HOUR COMMUTE). HOWEVER, WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES THERE WAS ~1-2 SECOND DELAY, FELT A HAD KICK AND GRIP OF THE BRAKES. IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF TRUCK. AGAIN WHEN STARTING MESSAGE DISPLAY WAS GONE AND TRUCK FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. I WILL BE CALLING MY DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY WILL BE GETTING ME IN, NO IFS, AND OR BUTS ABOUT IT. CAN CONTACT YOU BACK AFTER THEY LOOK AT VEHICLE. HOPEFULLY THE CODES ARE IN THE SYSTEM. DO HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE OF EACH INCIDENT TO SHOW DEALERSHIP THE EXACT PROBLEM IF CODES DO NOT APPEAR.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION APPROXIMATELY ONE QUART PER 1000-1500 MILES

INTERMITTENT TRANSMISSION HESITATION UNDER ACCELERATION, WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A SIDE STREET. WITHOUT WARNING THE TRUCK COMPLETELY CUTS OUT. THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING BUT THERE IS NO FORWARD ACCELERATION FROM THE TRUCK. THIS LASTS ABOUT 10 SECONDS. TWO INCIDENTS SO FAR. ALSO VERY HEAVY, ABRUPT SHIFTING, JERKING SHIFTING. ALSO INTERMITTENT WHEN SHIFTING THE TRUCK INTO REVERSE WHILE STATIONARY THERE IS A LOUD HEAVY CLUNK FROM THE TRANSMISSION.

THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE LATCH ON THE TAILGATE. THE TAILGATE OPENS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAN OCCUR WHEN THE TAILGATE IS UNLOCKED AND ALSO WHEN IT IS LOCKED. IT IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP. I USE MY VEHICLE FOR WORK PURPOSED AND SO I HAUL EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH BILL PIERRE FORD IN SEATTLE WA ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THAT FORD HAS NOT PROVIDED A FIX AND SO THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX IT. THE DANGER AND LIABILITY IS SIGNIFICANT AND WILL CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS IF IT IS NOT ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. I AM PUTTING A DATE BELOW, BUT PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED REPEATEDLY. WHILE I AM CURRENTLY USING A BUNGEE CORDS TO MAKE SURE THAT NOTHING FALLS OUT (THE CORD PREVENTS THE GATE FROM FALLING OPEN) WHEN THE TAILGATE RANDOMLY RELEASES, IT WOULD CERTAINLY PUT THE LIVES OF OTHERS AT RISK ON DAILY BASIS.

THE FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVEN AT 65MPH ON HIGHWAY AND THE SECOND TIME AT 45MPH ON CITY AND BOTH TIMES THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK, TO STOP THE VEHICLE I TRIED TO PULL UP THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. IT WAS A REAL UNSAFE CONDITION BECAUSE WAS RUSH HOUR WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK.

PARKED IN A GAS STATION PARKING SPOT. I PUT THE TRUCK INTO PARK AND LEFT THE VEHICLE ON FOR THE FAMILY. I TOOK ONE OF MY CHILDREN INTO THE STORE. MY WIFE OPENS HER PASSENGER DOOR AND STEPPED OUT TO PICK UP A LITTLE MESS. WHILE IN PARK THE TRUCK MOVED FORWARD A BIT AND STARTED TO ROLL BACK. SOMEHOW THE TRUCK WAS IN PARK OR SHOWED IT WAS IN PARK (IT DIDNT MOVE WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE PRIOR TO GETTING OUT OR AS I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK). AFTER STRUGGLING FROM OUTSIDE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE TRUCK ROLLING BACK ABOUT 50 FEET, MY WIFE MANAGED TO GET THE SHIFTER INTO PARK (AGAIN). THE PASSENGER DOOR HIT A CONCRETE POST AND OPENED THE DOOR BEYOND WHAT THE HINGES ALLOW

I WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE VEHICLE IN PARK. I OPENED MY DOOR AND BEGAN TO GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE AND IT BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARD. MY DAUGHTER'S KIDS THAT SHE NANNY'S WAS GETTING OUT OF HER VEHICLE AND HAD HER DOOR OPEN. BEFORE I COULD REACH THE BRAKE PEDAL MY TRUCK RAN INTO HER OPEN DOOR CREASING IT AND ALMOST CRUSHING THE BOY THAT WAS EXITING THE VEHICLE.

WHINING NOISE WHEN TRANSMISSION SHIFTS GEARS. 5.0L V8 WITH 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION

ELECTRIC TAILGATE SEEMS TO RANDOMLY OPEN ON IT'S OWN. IT DOES IT WHEN TRUCK IS RUNNING, OR TURNED ON, PARKED OR EVEN DRIVING. VERY ANNOYING AND WORRIED IT WILL CAUSE THE TAILGATE TO BREAK OR LOSE THINGS IN THE BED. IT DOES THIS SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. MOST RECENT WAS 12 IN 1 DAY.

WHILE DRIVING THE THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAULTED AND STEER ABILITY DIMINISHED GREATLY. THERE WAS NO WARNING. IT QUIT WORKING. I WAS TRAVELING AT A LOW SPEED AND WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL.

IN PARK AND TRUCK ROLLS,AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SEVERLY SLIPPING,AND SMELLS LIKE GAS

I WAS DRIVING AND HAD TO COME TO A QUICK STOP AND MY BRAKE PEDAL FELT LOOSE LIKE THERE WAS NO PRESSURE BEHIND IT, ALMOST CRASHED. IT FELT LIKE THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR

ISSUE: RANDOM LOW TIRE PRESSURE ALERT. OCCURS AT ANY TIME. TWO EVENTS WERE DANGEROUS, ONE IN RUSH HOUR CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND THE OTHER DURING A TORNADO. THE CODES SELF CLEAR AFTER A TIME PERIOD. DEALER (CREST FORD) SAID NO CODES RETAINED BY THE TRUCK. FORD HAS NOT RESPONDED TO THE ISSUE OR OFFERED A FIX. OPENED A CASE WITH FORD #CAS17681018 LAST WEEK. ISSUE IS FAILURE TO REPAIR, NO RETENTION OF SAFETY RELATED CODES, AND WHY AFTER 10 MINUTES THE DASH LOW TIRE ALARM SELF CLEARS. ALL ISSUES OCCUR WHILE DRIVING, BOTH ON FREEWAY AND SURFACE STREETS. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED SINCE TAKING DELIVERY OF THE NEW VEHICLE.

STEERING PROBLEM

DOORS NOT STAYING LOCKED AT ALL. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY

ON INITIAL STARTUP, FUEL LINE BURST DIRECTLY UNDER DRIVERS SIDE, SPRAYED FUEL ALL OVER TRANSFER CASE/POWERTRAIN ELECTRONICS. FIRE DEPT CAME TO ENSURE SAFETY, VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LOCAL FORD DEALER. VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS ~11K MI

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AUTO START AND AUTO STOP FEATURES CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF WHILE TRAVELING 3 MPH AROUND A CURVE. THE FAILURE ALSO CAUSED THE POWER STEERING TO SEIZE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000. *TT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF THE OWNER OF A 2018 FORD F-150. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE TAILGATE OPENED TWICE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONSUMER TO NHTSA. THE CONTACT WORKED FOR AUTONATION FORD KATY (20777 KATY FWY, KATY, TX 77450, (281) 305-8949) AND STATED THAT THE TAILGATE COULD BE OPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ESPECIALLY WITH THE KEY FOBS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING REGULARLY AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS, THE FLOORMAT MOVED OUT OF POSITION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SEIZED DUE TO THE FLOORMAT BEING MOVED OUT OF POSITION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HOOKS FOR THE FLOORMATS WERE INSUFFICIENT TO KEEP THE FLOORMATS IN POSITION. A DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

WITH 2018 F-150 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING HARD AN DOWN SHIFTS HARD GETTING WHIPLASH. DOWNSTAIRS TOO HARD BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP TODAY IS THE SECOND TIME THEY CONSTANTLY ACT LIKE THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AV TO RESET IT ONCE BEFORE STILL HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THAT NEW TRANSMISSION. SO BASICALLY IN INNER-CITY DRIVING IS SOMEBODY WAS TO JUMP IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WITH DOWNSHIFT QUICKLY GIVING DRIVER OR ANY PASSENGERS WHIPLASH STOP THE VEHICLE NOT A VERY SAFE OR PRACTICAL BUILD CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS AND GIVE MAJOR PROBLEMS IF ANYBODY HAS BAD BACKS OR NECKS WAS NOT DISCLOSED AT TIME OF SALE OF A HARD SHIFTING TRANSMISSIONS

THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES NOW FOR THE STEERING PULLING TO THE LEFT. THIS OCCUR AT CITY OR HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON ANY ROAD CONDITIONS AND HAS BEEN REPRODUCED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE AND HAVE TOLD ME THEY OPENED A "HOTLINE" CASE WITH FORD CORPORATE FOR ENGINEERING/TECHNICAL GUIDANCE. THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE CHECKED THE CAMPERS AND CASTERS ALONG WITH RE-PROGRAMMING THE SOFTWARE FOR THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE.

THIS NEW TRUCK'S, WHICH WAS PURCHASED IN JANUARY OF 2019, 5.0 LITER ENGINE USED 2.5 QUARTS OF ENGINE OIL IN THE FIRST 3500 MILES. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AT MY EXPENSE.

MY TRUCK HAS 15,000 MILES ON IT. THE ACCELERATION WILL RUN AWAY FREQUENTLY (PRESS THE PEDAL AND THERE IS A SEVERE LAG AND LACK OF POWER). THERE WILL BE RANDOM ENGINE NOISE WHEN DECELERATING AROUND 45 MILES PER HOUR. ALSO, ACCELERATION WILL BE ROUGH WHEN GOING FROM 20-30 MILES PER HOUR JUST BEFORE THE IT SHIFTS INTO A HIGHER GEAR. I TOOK THIS TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES ON THE TRUCKS COMPUTER SYSTEM. ALSO, THE STEERING WILL BE STIFF OR UNALIGNED AT RANDOM TIMES. PLEASE ASSIST IN GETTING THESE ISSUES CORRECTED.

THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE AUTOMATIC ENGINE SHUT OFF ENGAGE. WHEN THE BRAKE WAS RELEASE THE ENGINE DID NOT START AND A MESSAGE FLASHED ON THE INFORMATION CENTER. CAN NOT QUOTE YOU THE EXACT MESSAGE BECAUSE IT WAS MORNING RUSH HOUR AND A LINE OF VEHICLES WERE BEHIND ME ANXIOUS TO MOVE. THE MESSAGE WAS INSTRUCTIONS WAS TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THIS RESOLVED THE SITUATION BUT THE ENGINE SHOULD HAVE RESTARTED WITHOUT HAVING TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK.

THE DRIVER SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR HAS A DOUBLE IMAGE. THIS MAKES NIGHT DRIVING AND IDENTIFYING OBJECT IN THE MIRROR MORE DIFFICULT. IT DUPLICATES HEADLIGHTS WHICH AT NIGHT CREATES MORE LIGHT IN THE DRIVERS FACE MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD. THE MIRROR HAS BEEN THIS WAY SINCE IT WAS TEST DRIVEN THE DRIVE TRAIN ISSUE, AT 7,000 MILES THE TRUCK HAS DEVELOPED A WHINING SOUND WHILE ACCELERATING THE DEALER BELIES THIS IS THE PINION BEARING.

ELECTRICAL WIRING. KNOW PROBLEM WITH RODENT (RATS) BEING ATTRACTED TO ALL CRITICAL WIRING AND DESTROYING. THIS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES AS WELL AS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGES. SO FAR I HAVE HAD TO PAY MORE THAT $2000. IN DAMAGES ON A NEW (2018) VEHICLE. DAMAGE OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED IN A NORMAL MANNER.

NO POWER WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND IN MOTION. HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP CRACKED AND BOLT SECURING THE PUMP WAS SHEARED.

WARPED DASH BOARD CAUSING VISIBILITY AND SAFETY CONCERNS

DANGER!! POTENTIAL EXTREME INJURY OR DEATH POSSIBLE. THESE ISSUES MUST BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ENGINE ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN WHEN IN REVERSE. BRAKING: WOULD SLOW DOWN BUT WILL ACCELERATE WHEN BRAKE WAS RELEASED UPON REVERSE. UPON REVERSING UP AN UPHILL LOCAL SIDE STREET DRIVEWAY, BRAKING, AND RELEASING THE BRAKE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED IN LESS THAN ONE SECOND AT A TREMENDOUS SPEED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO DRIVE FROM REVERSE, THE ENGINE CREATED A HIGH-PITCHED WHINING SOUND. HAD THERE BEEN THE CHILDREN IN THE DRIVEWAY, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THERE IS ALSO A WHINING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE WHEN IT IS RUNNING. CHANGING GEAR FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE: ENGINE CREATES A HIGH-PITCHED WHINING SOUND REVERSE UP A SLIGHT HILL: REVERSING UP A SMALL HILL IMMENSELY ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN. WE NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP WHEN WE RECEIVED THE VEHICLE, BUT IT WAS NOT CORRECTED.
