STEERING
THE STEERING SHAFT HAS TWO U JOINTS, THE ONE CLOSEST TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD SIEZED UP MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER, VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING A CAMPER AT HIGHWAY SPEED TO SAY THE LEASE. I HAD IT FIXED BY A FORD MECHANIC (PART WAS 300 BUCKS ALONE) AND HE SAID IT IS VERY COMMON ON THEM. I NOTICED A RECALL ON THE CROWN VICTORIAS FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON THE POLICE MODELS. WHY IS THERE NOT RECALL ON THE F 150?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
REAR DEFROST GLASS SHATTERED AFTER USING THE REAR DEFROSTER. THE REAR DEFROSTER STOPPED WORKING BUT STARTED WORKING AGAIN, ONLY TO RESULT IN OVERHEATING AND SHATTERING THE GLASS. THE SHATTERING OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30-40 MPH, THE TEMPERATE WHILE COOL (AROUND 45 DEGREES). I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AND IT WAS DARK.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE ON MY REGULAR COMMUTE TO WORK AS I DROVE ONTO THE HIGHWAY FRONTAGE ROAD I SLOWLY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE WHEN SUDDENLY MY TRUCK STARTED ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. SO MUCH SO THAT I WAS NO LONGER CONTROLLING ITS SPEED. REALIZING THIS I HAD TO APPLY BOTH FEET SIMULTANEOUSLY ON THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO SLOW THE VEHICLE ENOUGH TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL THEN FINALLY I WAS ABLE PUT IT IN PARK. UNBELIEVABLY THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AT HIGH RPMS EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN PARK. IT WASN'T UNTIL AFTER I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF THAT THE RPM'S STOPPED. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS I SAW SMOKE COMING FROM BOTH OF THE FRONT WHEEL WELLS. AS I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK I REALIZED THAT BOTH SETS OF BRAKES WERE ON FIRE. THIS CAUSED IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM AS THE COMPONENTS HAD BECOME EXTREMELY OVERHEATED. THE INSTANCE OF THE ENGINE RUNNING HIGH RPMS ALSO OCCURRED THE NIGHT BEFORE. HOWEVER THIS TIME MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. WE WERE IN A PARKED POSITION AFTER FUELING UP THE TRUCK AND WERE GETTING READY TO LEAVE THE GAS STATION. MY WIFE JUST APPLIED THE BRAKES AND PUT THE TRUCK BACK IN PARK THEN THE RPM'S CALMED DOWN. WE JUST KIND OF DISMISSED IT UNTIL LESS THAN 12 HOURS LATER THE ABOVE MENTIONED INCIDENT OCCURRED. COINCIDENCE I THINK NOT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS PARKED AT A FOOD STORE WHEN I PRESSES THE REAR DEFROST TO CLEAR UP THE FOGGED UP WINDOW. WHILE TALKING TO MY WIFE WE HEAR A LOUD BANG NOISE. I WALKED AROUND MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE REAR DRIVERS PANEL WINDOW SHATTERED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THREE YEARS AGO WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST AND THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW PANEL SHATTTERED. I NOTIFIED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP WITH ISSUE.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, THE STEERING BECAME SO HEAVY THAT I WAS BARELY ABLE TO MAKE THE TURN AND WAS ALMOST HIT HEAD ON BY A VEHICLE ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 55. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, THIS APPARENTLY IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE. I HAD IT REPAIRED AND THE BILL WAS OVER $600.00. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL INITIATED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED WHEN THEIR POWER STEERING FAILS. IN A F150, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL WITHOUT POWER STEERING.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BROKE, PREVENTING THE PASSENGER FROM BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. IN AN EMERGENCY, THE PASSENGER WOULD BE UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WITHOUT SOMEONE OPENING THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. I RARELY HAVE PASSENGERS, OTHER THAN MY PRESCHOOL-AGED SON, WHO RIDES IN HIS CHILD SEAT IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. THERE IS A RECALL FOR INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES FOR MY VEHICLE'S MODEL YEAR, BUT NOT FOR MY VIN FOR SOME REASON. PERHAPS THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED. THE FAILURE WAS NOTICED WHEN A PASSENGER WAS TRYING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT.

I WENT TO THE SAME DEALER LOCATION THAT PUT THE TIRES ON( LIVINGSTON, TEXAS) TO RECEIVE TERMS OF THE CERTIFICATE OR WARRANTY THEY DID NOT WANT TO HONOR EITHER WARRANTY FOR REPLACEMENT WITHOUT ME NEEDING TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL 400.00 . I AM WANTING TO RETURN MY TIRES SINCE OBVIOUSLY THIS IS EITHER A DEFECTIVE TIRE OR ONE OF BELOW AVERAGE QUALITY.

ENGINE, STEERING
WHEN SLOWING DOWN (AT AN INTERSECTION FOR EXAMPLE) TO MAKE A TURN THE VEHICLE DIES AND MAKES IT VERY, VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO TWO ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO STAY IN MY LANE DURING THE TURN. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A TRUCK SO DIFFICULT TO TURN WHEN THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING. ADDITIONALLY, THE TRUCK WILL NOT START AFTER FUELING. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND THE FORD DEALER (MADISON COUNTY FORD IN RICHMOND, KY) SAID IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I PUT FUEL IN THE TRUCK, IT WOULD NOT START. IT SAT A COUPLE OF DAYS AND STARTED. THE ENGINE WAS STOPPING JUST AS IT DID BEFORE. TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAD DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM PROPERLY. I SPEND $2,216 ON WHAT THEY SAID THE PROBLEM WAS AND IT WAS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE IS WHEN THE TRUCK DIES WHILE DRIVING AND IT CAN'T BE STEERED PROPERLY.
