THE INSIDE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE IS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. PASSENGERS ARE FORCED TO PUSH THE HANDLE BACK INTO THE CLOSED POSITION WHEN RIDING. THIS PROBLEM IS IN FACT LISTED AS A RECALL ITEM FOR THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE. I CONTACTED FORD AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER/ FACTORY WAS NOT INCLUDED. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL(NHTSA CAMPAIGN #:11V049000), THIS DEFECT COULD CAUSE THE DOOR TO FLY OPEN IN AN ACCIDENT. ALTHOUGH FORD DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM EXIST WITH MY VEHICLE IN PARTICULAR OR PERHAPS THE PLANT WHERE IT WAS MANUFACTURED; THIS DOES NOT CHANGE THE REALITY THAT IT HAPPENED. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE AT MY OWN COST. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN A PASSENGER OPENED THE DOOR; ONLY TO FIND THAT THE HANDLE WOULD NOT GO BACK TO CLOSED POSITION.

THE INTERIOR DRIVER'S DOOR HANDLE WILL NOT GO BACK INTO POSITION AFTER OPENING THUS CAUSING THE DOOR TO FLING OPEN IF DRIVER DOES NOT PUSH THE HANDLE BACK INTO POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY YESTERDAY WHEN I NOTICED THE HANDLE DID NOT GO BACK. THEN YESTERDAY LEAVING THE PARKING LOT, MAKING A RIGHT TURN MY DOOR FLUNG OPEN BECAUSE I DIDN'T ENSURE THE HANDLE WAS STOWED. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ITEM UNDER FORD #11S15 BUT THE VIN DOES NOT PULL UP THIS RECALL. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED PICS BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS AT THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT DOES NOT FALL UNDER THIS RECALL WHEN CLEARLY IT IS THE EXACT SAME SAFETY ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS PULLING ONTO AN UNDIVIDED TWO LANE HWY. AND WAS ACCELERATING UP TO SPEED. THE VEHICLE, WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF WARNING, APPLIED THE BRAKES BY ITSELF CAUSING IT TO VEER HARD LEFT AND PULLING THE TRUCK INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR TRACTION CONTROL FLASHED ON AND OFF IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND YOU COULD HEAR THE ABS DEPLOYING. LUCKY THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME OR COMING TOWARDS ME. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND QUITE FRIGHTENING FOR MY FAMILY. WE LIVE IN A RURAL COMMUNITY AND THE DEALERSHIP IS OVER 50 MILES AWAY IN ONE DIRECTION. CONCERNED ABOUT SAFELY BEING ABLE TO GET IT IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS.

2010 F150 DIED TWICE WHILE DRIVING IN LOWER SPEED ON INTERSTATE AND IN PARKING LOT. SPEED WAS LESS THAN 15 MILES PER HOUR (INTERSTATE SPEED WAS REDUCED DUE TO CONSTRUCTION). IT ALSO DIED WHEN PARKED IN IDLE. THE ONLY "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" THAT APPEARED WAS THE OIL LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AT A FORD DEALER BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND THE HISTORY OF THE ISSUES USING THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS NOR WERE THEY ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE. WHEN VEHICLE DIED WHILE IN MOTION IT WAS IN DRIVE. WHEN IT DIED I LOST THE CAPABILITY TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL OR USE BRAKES. IN ALL SITUATIONS THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND FUNCTIONED AS NORMAL.

VEHICLE VIBRATES AND HESITATES TO ACCELERATE TO THE POINT WHERE THE TRUCK ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF AROUND 1500 RPM ON BOTH HIGHWAY SPEED AND NORMAL STREET SPEED. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT OR MAYBE THEY JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S COMING FROM SINCE THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON.

MY VEHICLE HAD TO BE SERVICED THREE TIMES AT THREE SEPARATE DEALERSHIPS LAST YEAR. DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THIS ISSUE CAUSED THE DASHBOARD TO SHUT OFF EVEN WHILE DRIVING, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE SPEED AND FUEL LEVEL. THE AC WOULD ALSO GO OUT AND THE WINDOWS CEASED TO WORK. IF THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING WHEN THIS OCCURRED IT WOULD CONTINUE TO FUNCTION BUT WITHOUT ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS. ONCE THE TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF, IT COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. MY VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED THREE TIMES FOR REPAIRS. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS IN DRY CREEK, LA (60MIN FROM MY HOUSE), THE SECOND OCCURRED IN NEW ORLEANS, LA JUST PRIOR TO A BUSINESS MEETING (3 HOURS FROM HOME), AND THE THIRD TIME OCCURRED WITH MY FAMILY IN OUR HOME TOWN OF LAKE CHARLES. BOLTON FORD MADE IT SEEM IT LIKE IT WAS ME WHO CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THE TRUCK HASN'T HAD AN ISSUE YET BUT WE SHALL SEE. DEALING WITH FORD CONCERNING THIS ISSUE WAS AN ORDEAL I HOPE I NEVER HAVE TO REPEAT. I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE TRUCK SINCE THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS CONDUCTED THREE DIFFERENT REPAIRS.
