THE INSIDE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE LEAVING THE DOOR UNABLE TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. FORD STATES THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I SAID IT IS AN ABSOLUTE SAFETY HAZARD AS THE PASSENGER IS UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY AND ANY REPAIR SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY.

POWER TRAIN
SINGLE OWNER 2010 FORD F-150 FX4 WITH 58,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY (I-10 IN PHX) AT ROUGHLY 70 MPH DURING RUSH HOUR WHEN SUDDENLY THE TRUCK LURCHED AS IF I HAD JUST DRIVEN THROUGH A DEEP PUDDLE. A FEW SECONDS LATER AS I WAS LOOKING IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR THE REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP AND THE TRUCK BEGAN SKIDDING UNCONTROLLABLY; THERE WERE 3 TO 4 DISTINCT SKIDS LASTING APPROXIMATELY 1 TO 2 SECONDS AT A TIME AS I RECALL. LUCKILY FOR ME THE SEMI-DRIVER BEHIND ME WAS PAYING PROPER ATTENTION TO THE ROAD AND NOTICED ME SKIDDING TO A HALT DESPITE THE ABSENCE OF BREAK LIGHTS. HE SWERVED AND NARROWLY MISSED REAR-ENDING MY VEHICLE AT FULL HIGHWAY SPEED. AFTER THE SEMI PASSED I BEGAN TO LIMP OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 25 MPH AT THIS POINT, AND I RECALL A FEW MORE JERKY UPSHIFTS AND DOWNSHIFTS WHILE PULLING OVER. BY THE TIME MY TRUCK WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY THE DASHBOARD WRENCH INDICATOR WAS ON AND PRESSING THE GAS PEDDLE HAD NO EFFECT. THE TRUCK HAD DISCONNECTED THE THROTTLE SENSOR INPUT FROM THE FUEL INJECTORS. AFTER WEIGHING MY OPTIONS FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES I DECIDED TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON. UPON DOING SO THE WRENCH INDICATOR WAS GONE, AND THE TRUCK APPEARED TO WORK NORMALLY. SINCE THEN I HAVE DRIVEN THE TRUCK (CAUTIOUSLY AND ON HIGH ALERT) ANOTHER 1,500 MILES AND EVERYTHING HAS PERFORMED NOMINALLY. I HAVE HAD NO OTHER SIGNIFICANT INCIDENTS WITH THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THIS ONE, NOR HAVE I NOTICED ANYTHING OUT OF THE NORM PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT I HAD BEEN DRIVING AT SIMILAR SPEEDS FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE BOTH DRY AND VERY SMOOTH AND THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS LOW 80S AT THE TIME. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 2 DAYS AND AFTER A FULL DIAGNOSIS THEY HAVE NO CLEAR EXPLANATION OR FIX FOR THIS POTENTIALLY FATAL MALFUNCTION.

2010 FORD F150 XLT; BOUGHT FROM A USED CAR DEALER 2/7/2015. ON 3/27/2015 I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE & WAS TOLD THAT THE RACK & PINION WAS DAMAGED; WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP & THEY HAD THE RACK & PINION REPLACED. TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE ON 9/26/2016 & ONCE AGAIN I'M LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID. I CONTACTED THE REPAIR SHOP & THEY HAVE NO PAPER RECORD OF THE REPAIR & NEITHER DOES THE DEALERSHIP. I CALLED EVERY PARTS STORE IN THE AREA & NONE OF THEM HAVE A RECORD OF SELLING THE REPAIR SHOP THAT PARTICULAR PART FOR MY MAKE & MODEL TRUCK. THERE IS ONE PARTS STORE THAT WILL BE WILLING TO DO AN EXCHANGE FOR THE OLD PART BUT ONLY WITH THE REPAIR SHOP THAT ORIGINALLY DID THE WORK. I DON'T WANT THAT GUY WORKING ON MY TRUCK ANYMORE BECAUSE WHEN HE PUT THE PART ON THE FIRST TIME, HE PUT IT ON WITH ZIP TIES! THIS PART COSTS AROUND $375 PLUS LABOR & I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. NOT WITH RAISING 2 KIDS BY MYSELF BECAUSE THEIR DEADBEAT DAD WON'T GET A JOB TO HELP WITH EXPENSES. I HAVE TO KEEP POWER STEERING FLUID ON HAND AT ALL TIMES BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN I'M GONNA HAVE TO ADD SOME TO THE TRUCK. I'VE NOTICED THAT SAME "WHINE" IN A LOT OF FORD TRUCKS DRIVING BY MY HOUSE & SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. I HAVE NO WARRANTY ON MY TRUCK ANYMORE & I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ONE OF THOSE EXTENDED WARRANTY THINGS YOU SEE ONLINE OR ON TV COMMERCIALS.

ENGINE
ABOUT APRIL 2017 I NOTICED A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA OF MY TRUCK. I ALSO NOTICED HESITATION WHEN I ACCELERATE AND MY FUEL ECONOMY HAS DROPPED. THERE IS A DISTINCT JERKING SENSATION WHEN DRIVING. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE IN CERTAIN GEARS AND I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. MY TRUCK HAS THE FORD 5.4L V8 ENGINE AND UPON MY OWN RESEARCH, THIS ENGINE IS NOTORIOUS FOR THE CAM PHASER GOING BAD, ALONG WITH OTHER RELATED ISSUES.

STEERING
I OWN A 2010 FORD F-150 FX4 4X4 5.4L PICK UP. THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT WAS BINDING UP, CAUSING A HEAVY STEERING CONDITION, STEERING NOT RETURNING TO CENTER AFTER TURNING AND A BINDING CONDITION. THE PART WAS REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 36K MILES BY WASHINGTON FORD IN WASHINGTON PA. APPROX 2 YEARS HAVE PASSED AND AT 63K MILES EXPERIENCING THE SAME CONDITIONS WITH FORD REPLACEMENT PART. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO WASHINGTON FORD IN WASHINGTON, PA FOR DIAGNOSIS ON 5/4/17. SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT DETECT OR DIAGNOSE AN ISSUE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR CENTER ON 5/16/17 WHERE TECH DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A BINDING ISSUE WITH THE REPLACEMENT PART. AN AFTER MARKET PART HAS BEEN ORDERED FOR REPLACEMENT. AFTER A LONG SEARCH AT LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIPS FOR THE PART IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A NUMBER OF FORD PARTS DEALERS AS WELL AS BIG BOX PARTS HOUSES HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ON BACK ORDER. WOLTZ AND WIND FORD IN CARNEGIE WAS REPORTING TO ME A 40 QUANTITY BACK ORDER FOR THE PART. MANY COMPLAINTS OBSERVED ONLINE. APPEARS TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN WITH NUMEROUS OWNERS ONLINE. PLEASE ADVISE.

SUSPENSION
NOTICED ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR ON FRONT TIRES. TOOK VEHICLE TO SHOP TO HAVE TIRES ROTATED AND ALIGNMENT CHECKED. A SAFETY CHECK REVEALED BOTH FRONT COIL SPRINGS WERE BROKEN.(SEE PHOTOS) FRACTURE OCCURRED AT THE TRANSITION FROM TIGHT RADIUS (PIGTAIL) AT THE BOTTOM, TO LARGER RADIUS. THE SPRING THEN BOWED OUT OF COLUMN AND STARTED RUBBING THE STRUT BODY. VEHICLE PREVIOUSLY HAD A SAFETY CHECK AT THE SAME SHOP AT 47726 MILES ON 1-20-2016 WITH NO SPRING DEFECT NOTED. DEFECT WAS NOTED AT 60800 MILES ON 4-13-17. REPORT GENERATED BY ORIGINAL OWNER. LEFT SPRING FAILURE WAS NOT NOTICED BUT RIGHT FAILURE MAY HAVE OCCURRED WHEN ENCOUNTERING NORMAL POTHOLE THAT CREATED A STARTLING BANG NOT COMMENSURATE WITH THE DEPTH OF THE STREET DEFECT. OWNER DID NOT NOTICE ANY STEERING WHEEL DISPLACEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH A WHEEL MISALIGNMENT. OWNERS CONCERNS. 1) VEHICLE WAS LESS THAT 7 YEARS IN SERVICE LESS THAT 61000 MILES. 2) ESSENTIALLY A SILENT FAILURE, FIRST CLUE WAS ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR. 3) MODE OF FAILURE COULD ALLOW SPRING TO PASS OVER PERCH CAUSING SUDDEN COMPLETE COLLAPSE OF THAT CORNER SUSPENSION. 4) IF SPRING REMAINS IN PLACE, RUBBING ON STRUT BODY WILL CAUSE FAILURE OF THE STRUT ITSELF AFFECTING HANDLING. PICTURES ARE OF RT. STRUT ASSEMBLY. LT STRUT WAS DISCARDED BEFORE DECISION TO REPORT WAS MADE BUT HAD SIMILAR FAILURE,

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN TRUCK HAS 1/4 OR LESS FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK IT STALLS AND THERE IS LOST POWER. MOSTLY HAPPENS WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND WHEN I MAKE A TURN AFTER TAKING MY FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR TO BRAKE . THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE ALL BRAKING AND STEERING IS LOST .WHILE LOOKING ON THE WEB THERE WERE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS .

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL PUMP RELAY FUSE MELTED. 2010 F-150 2 WD V8, WAS DRIVING AND PULLING A TRAILER (WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S PARAMETERS WEIGHT WISE, I.E. NOT OVERLOADED, AND IN FACT IT CONTINUED WITH THE EMPTY TRAILER) AND THE TRUCK BEGAN STALLING RANDOMLY, USUALLY WHEN GOING UP A HILL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I WAS HAULING VALUABLE HORSES UP HILLY ROADS AT THE TIME. I HAD IT REPAIRED AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP (CRAIN FORD, LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS 501-570-3737) WHICH INVOLVED MOVING THE FUSE TO A DIFFERENT SPOT. IT SEEMS TO BE ACTING UP AGAIN AFTER LESS THAN A WEEK. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY TO "FIX" IT AND IT NEEDS TO STAY FIXED!
