POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED ABRUPTLY WITHOUT WARNING OR INDICATION AT 75MPH ON THE HIGHWAY LOCKING THE REAR TIRES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL ALMOST ROLLING OVER AND MAKING CONTACT WITH OTHER VEHICLES TRAVELING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSTICALLY CHECKED AND INSPECTED AT A FORD SERVICE CENTER. THEY INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL FAILURE TO REPAIR. THE TRUCK CURRENTLY OPERATES IN THE SAME MANNER AS IT DID PRIOR TO THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTING. IN MY OPINION, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITS THE SAME FAILURE MODE THAT FORD FIXED UNDER RECALL 16S19. THIS DESIGN FLAW IS EXTREMELY LIFE THREATENING AND HAZARDOUS. I HAVE PARKED MY VEHICLE. I CONTACTED FORD 4 TIMES AND EVEN THOUGH THAT 1 INDIVIDUAL FROM FORD DID INDICATE THAT MY VEHICLE WAS INDEED AFFECTED BY THE DESIGN FLAW ASSOCIATED WITH THE 16S19 RECALL, IT WAS NOT ON THE "LIST" OF VEHICLES TO BE RECALLED SO IT WILL NOT BE FIXED DUE TO A VIN NUMBER SELECTION METHODOLOGY THAT HE DIDN'T DISCLOSE. I HAVE NO WAY TO FIX THE VEHICLE. THE REASON IS BECAUSE NEW SOFTWARE MUST BE FLASHED ON THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE DESIGN FLAW AND I HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW IF THE NEW SOFTWARE ON THE PCM THAT WAS DEVELOPED FOR F150S THROUGH YEARS 2011 - 2013 IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE 2010 F150S AND FORD WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO TALK TO ANY TECHNICAL REPS TO DETERMINE IF THAT IS POSSIBLE. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE TECHNICIANS CANNOT DETERMINE SYSTEM SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY EITHER AND ARE EXTREMELY RISK ADVERSE TO DOING ANYTHING THAT WAS NOT APPROVED BY FORD CONSIDERING THE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE AND OTHERS LIKE IT ARE JUST TICKING TIME BOMBS ON THE HIGHWAY. MINE WILL BE PARKED UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE BY NHTSA OR FORD.

HOWEVER, THE ENGINE FAILURE PERSISTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE LOCATED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM NOW TWICE IN A ROW WITH THE FUEL PUMP 20A FUEL IN THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD GETTING HOT AND MELTING THEN BLOWING THE FUSE. THIS FUSE IF IT HADN'T BLOWN WOULD HAVE CAUGHT THE FUSE BOX ON FIRE. FORD MAKES A KIT TO BYPASS THE TINY FUSE TO RELICATE IT TO A LARGER FUSE IN AN OPEN SPOT. THERE ARE MULTIPLE OTHERS IN NUMEROUS FORUMS WHO STATE THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD HAS NEVER ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE THAT CAN TURN BAD IF THE FUSE DOES NOT POP.

THE ROCKER PANELS ARE RUSTED BADLY. THE ROCKER PANEL KEEPS THE DOORS CLOSED. WHEN THE RUST GETS TO THE POINT WHERE THE LATCH IS THE DOORS WILL NOT STAY CLOSED. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED YET BUT IT APPEARS THIS WILL HAPPEN IN THE NEAR FUTURE. WITH THE RUST THIS BAD I AM VERY CONCERNED IF THERE WOULD EVER BE A SIDE IMPACT TO THE VEHICLE. I FIRST NOTICED THE RUST IN THE LATE FALL OF 2017.

TRUCK WAS BROUGHT IN FOR MINOR RUST ON INSIDE PANELS OF BACK DOORS, WHERE THE DOOR CLOSES. BODY SHOP STATED THAT MAYBE THE DRAIN CHANNEL WAS BLOCKED. UPON PICKING THE TRUCK UP AFTER REPAIR I WAS TOLD THAT THE ROCKER PANELS ON BOTH SIDES WERE SO RUSTED OUT THEY WERE BEYOND REPAIR. THEY STATED IT LOOKS LIKE THE TRUCK SAT IN WATER FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW FROM A DEALER IN AMELIA OH 43011 I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE WEB AND IT SEEMS THIS IS COMMON ON FORD TRUCKS. I WILL COST ME 4900$ TO REPAIR; THE TRUCK LOOKS BRAND NEW AND I HAVE KEPT IT IN VERY, VERY GOOD CONDITION. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD BUT THEY WILL NOT HELP, THEY STATED NO RECALL OR WARRANTY ISSUES HAVE BEEN REPORTED AT THIS TIME. WHY HAVEN'T THEIR ENGINEERS CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM?

RECENTLY DISCOVERED MAJOR DAMAGE DUE TO RUST AND ROT OF CAB PINCH WELD AT ROCKER PANELS ON BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES EXTENDING FRONT TO BACK. 2010, FORD F-150, CREW CAB, 51,000 ORIGINAL MILES. MY COMPLAINT WAS FORMALLY ADDRESSED AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED. THEY NOTED (VEHICLE IS VERY CLEAN......). MY CONCERNS WERE FORWARDED TO CORPORATE WITH RESPONSE BEING 'OUT OF FIVE YEAR WARRANTY'. HAVING FOUND MYSELF IN A DILEMMA I HAD AN AUTO BODY TECHNICIAN VIEW THE DAMAGE AND HIS ADVICE WAS TO TRADE THE VEHICLE. THE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE IS NOT THE RESULT OF NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THIS DOESN'T TAKE A BODY TECHNICIAN TO RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM IS DUE TO INFERIOR PRODUCT OF POOR WORKMANSHIP.

TAKATA RECALL- MY VEHICLE IS APPROACHING THE 2ND ANNIVERSARY SINCE THE TAKATA AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL AND A REMEDY IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. A LETTER I RECEIVED FROM THE MANUFACTURER, RECOMMENDED I NOT TRANSPORT FRONT SEAT PASSENGERS. THIS IS UNREALISTIC AND UNPRACTICAL, BUT I DO NOT FEEL CONFIDENT TRUSTING THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND ACQUAINTANCES WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM ISSUES THIS VEHICLE HAS.
