SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE FOOT CONTROL LOCKS UP AND VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ROLL. YOU CAN NOT STOP. IT'S WORSE WHEN VEHICLE IS COLD. IN THE BEGINNING IT WAS JUST WHEN BACKING UP AFTER VEHICLE WAS JUST STARTED, NOW IT'S ALSO DOING THE SAME THING WHEN GOING FORWARD. YOU HAVE NO STOPPING POWER AS BRAKE PEDAL WILL NOT DO ANYTHING AND YOU JUST CONTINUE ROLLING.....UPDATED 10/15/15 *BF UPDATED 11/22/2017*CN

STRUCTURE:BODY
MY 11 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE THE TAILGATE AND DIDN'T SEE THERE WAS SOMETHING LODGED IN THE CREVICE. THE TAILGATE POPPED OFF AND FELL ON HER KNEE. SHE IS IN EXCRUCIATING PAIN. WE ARE AT THE ER. THIS IS NOT SAFE. THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER SAFER WAY TO ATTACH THE GATE. I HAVE OWNED 3 F150S AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. THANK GOD MY 6 YEAR OLD WAS OUT OF THE VECINITY. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY INJURED OR KILLED HIM AS WELL.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THERE ARE TONS OF DRIVERS ON PUBLIC ROADS USING OFF ROAD LED LIGHT BARS AND USING AMPLIFIED HID HEADLIGHTS. THEY ARE SO BRIGHT I HAVE TO BLOCK THE LIGHT WITH MY HANDS WHEN THEY DRIVE BY. I KNOW THIS IS ILLEGAL. IT IS TERRIBLY UNSAFE. WHY ARE THERE NOT LAWS BEING ENFORCED TO PREVENT THEIR USE ON THE STREET?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL TANK ON THIS FORD E150 VAN LEAKS FUEL DURING FILL UPS. THE FORD DEALER (PACIFICO FORD IN BROOMALL, PA) STATES THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW GAS TANK. THE FUEL TANK DEVELOPED CRACKS AND PIN HOLES AT THE TOP OF THE TANK. RESEARCH ONLINE STATES THAT THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURED WITH OTHER FORD TRUCK AND VANS AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED. THE RECALL, NAMELY 01V114000 COVERS FORD VANS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 04/09/1996- 11/14/2000. MY VEHICLE CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN FROM FOR IS DATED AUGUST 28, 2000 AND THEREFORE PROVES THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED WITHIN THE SPECIFIED DATES. THIS VEHICLE IS USED AS A WORK TRUCK, SO IT OPERATES NEAR THE GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT. DUE TO A LACK OF INSULATORS SEPERATING THE TANK AND STEEL CROSS MEMBERS, THE CONSTANT RUBBING CAUSED THE DETERIATION OF THE FUEL TANK.

POWER TRAIN
AT THE POINT I REACH 40 MPH TRUCK SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL, HAVE TO PULL OVER SAFELY AND TAKE TRUCK OUT OF OVERDRIVE TO GET HOME. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRAVELING AT THAT RATE OF SPEED. DID SOME OF MY OWN INVESTIGATING AND FOUND MANY WEBSITE HAVE ANGRY PEOPLE WHO ALSO OWN SAME VEHICLES WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE. I SAW THE RANGE OF MILES BETWEEN 44,000 MILES TO 150,000 MILES. PLEASE REFER TO WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM JUST TO START WITH, THERE ARE MANY OTHER WEBSITES FOR THIS MODEL YOU CAN SEE. PLEASE HELP. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
AS REPORTED TO DEALER : CUSTOMER STATES WHEN ACCELERATING IN LOW GEAR AND LETTING OFF THE ACCELERATOR IT WILL CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THE RPM UNTIL YOU HIT HARD ON THE BRAKES. MY ADDED COMMENTS IS THAT 1800 RPM WHEN NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEED IS OVER 60 MPH. IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE DRIVER MUST MAINTAIN BRAKE WITH LEFT FOOT AND GAS WITH RIGHT FOOT OR YOU WILL REAR END THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. PS DEALER PERFORMED TEST AND STATED AT THIS TIME COMPARED TO LIKE UNITS AND THEY DO THE SAME THING. I TEST DROVE A NEW TRUCK WITH SAME ENGINE AND TRANS. AS MINE AND IT DID NOT DO THE SAME THING. *TR

I HAVE TO STAND THERE PUTTING FUEL IN AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE AND THIS CAN TAKE UP TO AND EVEN MORE THEN 30 MINUTES. *TR

SUSPENSION
I HAVE JUST RECENTLY LOST THE REAR SHOCK MOUNT DUE TO TOO EXTREME RUST OF THE FRAME, FORD DOES NOT MAKE A REPLACEMENT PART FOR THIS. AND THE FRAME IS NOW CRACKING IN TWO. CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD TO BUY A NEW FRAME REALLY. WELL IT WILL NOT BE LONG TILL THE OTHER SIDE GOES. OR MY FRAME BREAKS IN TWO AND CAUSES SERIOUS INJURY TO ME OR OTHERS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR TRUCK AND FORD DON'T SEEM TO CARE. IF THE FRAME NEEDS REPLACED IT SHOULD BE AT THEIR EXPENSE NOT MINE RECALL TIME. THEIR ARE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS STILL ON THE ROAD I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GAUGE---WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, FUEL GAUGE SAID I STILL HAD 185 MILES TO FILL UP. THE ENGINE STOPPED AND EVERYTHING WENT DEAD. NO POWER TO ANY THING. HAD TO HAVE TRUCK TOWED APPROX. 25 MILES TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER. AFTER 4 HOURS OF LOOKING FOR THE REASON, I WAS TOLD THE FUEL SENSOR HAD GONE OUT AND THE COST WOULD BE OVER 1,200.00 TO FIX. I HAVE NEVER SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. THIS IS THE FIRST FORD I HAVE PURCHASED AND HOPEFULLY THIS IS NOT A SIGN OF THINGS STILL TO HAPPEN. I WAS WONDERING IF FORD WOULD HAVE THIS FIXED FOR ME. THANK YOU, *TR
