AIR BAGS
AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE IN TO THE SHOP FOR A ROUTINE SAFETY INSPECTION, I'VE RECEIVED A CALL THAT MY F-150 FAILED BECAUSE OF AN AIR BAG MALFUNCTION. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT MANY VEHICLES WITH AIR BAG MALFUNCTIONS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS NOT A CASE OF NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR FROM THE OWNER BUT A COMPANY MALFUNCTION. I AM SUPPOSE TO PAY $1300 FOR A REPAIR THAT I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER AND ONE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED IN SO MANY VEHICLES? I FIND THIS TO BE UNACCEPTABLE!

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
I LIVE IN A METROPOLITAN AREA WHERE THERE IS ALWAYS A HIGH VOLUME OF TRAFFIC AND LOSING POWER OF A VEHICLE IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. DRIVING IN 5:00 RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND ACCELERATING FROM A RED LIGHT WHEN MY FORD TRUCK ENTERED INTO A "LIMP HOME" MODE (WRENCH ICON AND OIL LAMP APPEARED) IT STALLED OUT. I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT EVEN THOUGH I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. EVENTUALLY, I WAS ABLE TO START MY VEHICLE. MY TRUCK DROVE FINE BUT NOW AND THEN HAD A HESITATION TO START. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, IT STALLED AGAIN; THIS TIME IT DID NOT START. I WAS A BLOCK FROM MY OFFICE AND WE PUSHED IT BACK. I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. I WORK IN OUTSIDE SALES AND HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED $700. THE TRUCK DROVE OK FOR ABOUT A MONTH, BUT STILL HESITATED ON STARTING. IN JUNE, ONCE AGAIN IT STALLED. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. JULY 9TH, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55 MPH WHEN I CAME TO A SIGNAL LIGHT AND STOPPED. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I BEGIN MY LEFT HAND TURN AND THE TRUCK STALLED. I HAD IT TOWED TO FORD DEALER. THEY ARE SAYING THAT NOW IT IS THE FUEL PUMP BATTERY JUNCTION BOX, ANOTHER $2500 AND IT WILL TAKE AFTER LABOR DAY BEFORE I GET MY TRUCK BACK BECAUSE THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE!!! RENT A CAR FOR 2 MONTHS ON TOP OF THAT!!!

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE TRUCK WAS PARKED FACING DOWN ON A MODERATE HILL. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS STARTED AND THE SHIFT LEVER MOVED FROM PARK TO DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION REMAINED LOCKED UP (STILL IN PARK) AND THE VISUAL GEAR SELECTOR INDICATOR DID NOT ILLUMINATE SHOWING ANY GEAR SELECTED. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND THE SHIFT INDICATOR ILLUMINATED IN THE GEAR SELECTED. APPLYING GAS DURING THE "PAUSE SHIFT" PERIOD RESULTED IN A RAPID AND UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION WHEN THE SHIFT OCCURRED AND THIS RESULTED IN A SIGNIFICANT ACCIDENT. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE TRUCK WAS EXAMINED BY A FORD DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN AND THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULATOR (TCM) WAS REPROGRAMMED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DRIVING TO WORK HAD REAR DEFROSTER ON AND OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS HIGH 30S OR LOW 40S. SAW SMOKE START TO BILLOW OUT IN MIDDLE OF REAR SLIDER. PULLED OVER AND CHECKED, SMOKE WENT AWAY WHEN I OPENED THE POWER SLIDER ABOUT 6". WHEN I CLOSED THE WINDOW WITH THE POWER SLIDER THE RIGHT REAR BACKGLASS SHATTERED. THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL TRUCK.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I RECENTLY WAS INVOLVED IN A MULTIVEHICLE ACCIDENT IN WHICH MY 2010 FORD F 150 TRUCK WAS TOTALED. I WAS THE PERSON WHO CAUSED IT. HOWEVER, I DON'T BELIEVE I WAS AT FAULT. THE CONDITIONS AND SYMPTOMS WHICH I ENCOUNTERED ARE CONSISTENT WITH CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. I BELIEVE IT LEAKED INTO THE CAB. CO IS AN ODORLESS COLORLESS AND TASTELESS GAS. I LOST CONSCIOUSNESS AND DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED. THIS WAS THE 4TH TIME I LOST CONSCIOUSNESS AND EVERY TIME IT OCCURRED I WAS DRIVING THIS 2010 FORD F-150 TRUCK. ALSO, THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY CHEST STILL HURTS!

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
WHILE BREAKING TO STOP AT AN INTERSECTION THE TRUCK UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATES AND WILL NOT STOP. THE ABS BRAKE PULSATIONS CONTINUED WALKING THE F150 INTO THE INTERSECTION AS THE ENGINE RPMS CLIMBES. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, THE ENGINE REVVES VERY HIGH, I RELEASED THE BRAKE AND THEN SLAMMED IT BACK DOWN. THE RPMS DROP TO NORMAL AND THE TRUCK STOPPES. IT HAS DONE THIS ONCE EVERY YEAR SINCE 2011. IT SHOWS NO TROUBLE CODES AND WON'T DO IT FOR THE FORD SERVICE TECHNICIANS. *TR

POWER TRAIN
FORD F150 4.6LT STX LOST ALL POWER AT 45MPH. LIMPED THE TRUCK HOME WITH THE FEAR OF GETTING RUN OVER. TRUCK IS LESS THEN 5YRS OLD WITH 63K MILES ON IT. IF MY WIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING I'M SURE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND AS I HAD TO TAKE ACTION TO KEEP FROM BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. DEALERSHIP SAID THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. I HAD THE VEHICLE TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS FOR A STALLING ISSUE. TO ME IT FELT AS IF THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS STAYING LOCKED UP STALLING THE ENGINE. BOTH DEALERS WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE NEW IN 2010. NOW THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED 3K MILES OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY FORD WILL NOT DO A THING TO HELP BUT OFFER A LITTLE MONEY TOWARDS A 4600$ REPAIR. THIS IN MY OPINION IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF I WAS NOT A TECHNICIAN FOR OVER 15YRS AND A TECHLINE ADVISER FOR ANOTHER CAR COMPANY FOR OVER 7 I MIGHT NOT HAVE KNOWN WHAT WAS GOING ON. FORD WILL NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND RECTIFY THIS ISSUE AND IS PASSING ON THIS FAILURE TO ME. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS MY WIFE SINCE IT STALLED ON HER WILL NO LONGER DRIVE THE TRUCK EVEN IF I GET IT REPAIRED. LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE AND LOYALTY BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY! *TR
