VISIBILITY/WIPER
WINDSHIELD WIPER CONTINUE TO OPERATE IN LOW INTERMITTENT WHEN THE SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION - THE DRIVER CANNOT TURN OFF THE WIPERS. ANY TIME THE TRUCK'S ENGINE IS ON, THE WIPERS RUN. FORD MOTOR COMPANY PUBLISHED ONLINE TSB 15-0061 ON APRIL 27, 2015, WHICH ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM FOR MODEL YEARS 2011-2014 FOR EXPLORERS, F150'S, EDGES, MKX'S AND F-SUPER DUTY VEHICLES. THE BULLETIN CALL FOR THE INSTALLATION OF A "NEW WIPER/MALFUNCTION SWITCH, WHICH AT MY DEALER COSTS $900. OBVIOUSLY, A VEHICLE CANNOT BE SAFELY OPERATED WITH THE WIPER RUNNING IN DRY WEATHER. EVENTUALLY, THE WIPER BLADES WOULD MELT AND STREAK THE WINDSHIELD, THUS BLURRING THE DRIVER'S VISION. REPAIRING THE PROBLEM IS NOT IS NOT OPTIONAL, IT MUS BE DONE. FORD KNEW IT HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE EQUIPMENT IN MODEL YEARS 2011-2014. I HAVE A 2015 AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. NOT ONLY HAVE THEY NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM INN NEWER MODELS, THEY FAILED TO RE-ENGINEER THE WIPER SYSTEM TO MAKE THE REPAIR LESS COSTLY. REPLACING THE SWITCH REQUIRES DISASSEMBLING AND REASSEMBLING THE STEERING COLUMN, WHICH IS LABOR INTENSIVE AND THUS EXPENSIVE. FORD HAS MANAGED TO LIMIT ITS EXPOSURE BY CALLING THE PROBLEM A WARRANTY ISSUE. I COMMUTE 80 MILES A DAY IN METRO ATLANTA. THE WEATHER HAS BEEN RELATIVELY DRY IN RECENT YEARS, SO I BLEW THROUGH THE MILEAGE LIMITS ON THE WARRANTY WITH LITTLE NEED TO USE MY WIPERS. WORKING WIPERS ARE NECESSARY SAFETY EQUIPMENT. FORD KNEW THEY HAD A PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS, BUT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. THE COST IS NOT AFFORDABLE FOR MANY AMERICANS. FORD SHOULD BARE THE BURDEN OF REPAIRING EQUIPMENT THAT THEY KNEW WAS FAULTY, BUT CONTINUED TO INSTALL IN NEW VEHICLES.

THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE WIPERS QUIT WORKING WHEN THE RIGHT BLINKER IS ON. WHEN THE RIGHT BLINKER IS ON TO SIGNAL A TURN, THE WIPERS QUIT WORKING COMPLETELY. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT MODE THE BLINKERS ARE IN (FAST, SLOW, INTERMITTENT) ONCE THE RIGHT BLINKER IS OFF, THE WIPERS WILL BEGIN TO WORK AGAIN. VEHICLE CAN BE STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. I BELIEVE THE MULTI-FUNCTION DEVICE IS DEFECTIVE.

STRUCTURE:BODY
WHILE DRIVING OUR 2015 FORD F-150 LARIAT SUPERCREW ON A TRIP FROM OHIO TO FLORIDA ON INTERSTATE I-77 WE WERE TOWING A 14 FOOT ENCLOSED TRAILER. MY WIFE AND I STOPPED FOR THE NIGHT AFTER APPROXIMATELY 550 MILES AND I MADE SURE THE TRUCK WAS SECURE. IN THE MORNING I WALKED AROUND THE TRAILER AND THE TRUCK TO BE SURE EVERYTHING WAS OKAY AND IT WAS BEFORE CONTINUING OUR DRIVE. WE WERE JUST NORTH OF CHARLOTTE, NC AND THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF NEW ROAD CONSTRUCTION AS WE CONTINUED SOUTH WITH ROUGH BUMPY AREAS, CHANGING ROAD LANES AND JUST A LOT OF TWISTING SECTIONS. AFTER 2 HOURS AND SOUTH OF CHARLOTTE WE STOPPED FOR FUEL. I THEN SAW THAT THE TAILGATE WAS DOWN. I WAS SHOCKED AS I LOOKED AND WAS GLAD WE HAD NOT LOST ANY ITEMS ON THE ROAD, WE COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE. THE TAILGATE RECEIVED DAMAGE BECAUSE AS THE TWISTING AND REQUIRED LANE CHANGES HAPPENED THE TRAILERS FRONT TONGUE WHEEL SUPPORT POST WAS JAMMING AGAINST THE DROPPED TAILGATE. WE FEEL SO FORTUNATE TO HAVE NOT LOST THE HEAVY ITEMS IN THE TRUCK THAT COULD HAVE MADE US RESPONSIBLE FOR A SEVER ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALER IN MOUNT DORA, FL AND WAS TOLD THE RECALL CURRENTLY IS FOR JUST THE F-250 & F-350 MODELS WITH THE POWER TAILGATE. THEY "RAN" MY VIN NUMBER AND TOLD ME THIS TRUCK IS NOT IN THE SAME RECALL. EVEN THOUGH THE F-150 "LARIAT" UPGRADE MODEL HAS THE SAME POWER TAILGATE AS THE TWO IN THE RECALL. PLEASE HELP AND REQUIRE THE JUSTIFIED RECALL TO BE SPECIFIC TO NOT JUST THE VEHICLE VIN OR MODEL NUMBERS BUT TO ALL THOSE WITH THIS TYPE OF FUNCTIONING POWER TAILGATE. I HAVE CALLED FORDS'S CONSUMER (866) HELP CENTER AND THEY ARE NOT ADMITTING REPLACEMENT FOR MY DAMAGED TAILGATE EVEN THOUGH THE DEALER BODY SHOP MANAGER HAD ME PRESENT TO SEE AS THEY TOOK THE TAILGATE APART. WE FOUND INSIDE ONE BROKEN PART FOR THE MECHANICAL LATCH CONTROLLER THAT SECURES THE LOCKING OF THE TAILGATE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I WAS PARKED IN A SAGE BRUSH FIELD, WARMING UP IN MY TRUCK. I TURNED IT OFF AND OPENED THE DOOR TO GET OUT. THIS IS WHEN I NOTICED MY ELECTRONIC RUNNING BOARDS DIDN'T EXTEND. SO I SITUATED MYSELF BACK IN THE DRIVERS SEAT AND REALIZED THE RADIO WAS STILL PLAYING. (IT IS SUPPOSE TO TURN OFF WHEN I OPEN THE DOOR AND THE TRUCK IS OFF) I STARTED THE TRUCK AND FOUND I HAD NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS, GAUGES WERE OFF, LOCKS WOULD NOT WORK IN THE FRONT. I HAD ONLY RADIO ( VOLUME CONTROL DIDN'T WORK) AND FLASHERS. I DROVE THE FEW MILES TO MY DEALER. AFTER CALLING SOMEONE. THEY TOLD ME THEY DID A HARD REBOOT OF THE SYSTEM. EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON AND I NOTICED IT WAS A FEW DAYS BEFORE EVERYTHING READJUSTED TO READ CORRECTLY. I WAS TOLD TO COME BACK IF I HAD MORE PROBLEMS. THEY HAD A LIST OF FAULTS THAT SHOWED ON THE COMPUTER WHEN THEY PLUGGED IT IN. THE CODES: BCM, FCIM, MS1-CAN,HS2-CAN,HS3-CAN,U0137 SAID TBM COULDN'T COMMUNICATE WITH BCM. FINAL STATEMENT ON CAUSE: EXCESSIVE NETWORK TRAFFIC ON THE CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) BUS CAUSING THE FCIM TO LOCK UP. I HAVE THE WORK ORDER IF NEEDED.

POWER TRAIN
INTERMITTENT GRINDING NOISE FROM INTEGRATED WHEEL ENDS AND MULTIPLE REPLACEMENTS OF WHEEL HUBS THAT HAVE FAILED TO PERMANENTLY FIX THE PROBLEM. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SERVICED ON 09-20-18 AND DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED 4X4 CHECK VALVE. THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED AND RETURNED TO THE SHOP ON 10-16-18 WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS FAILED WHEEL BEARINGS/HUB ASSEMBLY. THE PROBLEM WAS TEMPORARILY FIXED UNTIL IT RETURNED AGAIN AND TRUCK RETURNED TO SHOP ON 03-22-2019. THE SHOP AGAIN REPLACED THE WHEEL BEARINGS/HUB ASSEMBLY. THE PROBLEM WAS TEMPORARILY RESOLVED AGAIN UNTIL THE FRONT END NOISE RETURNED AGAIN IN NOVEMBER 2019. THE TRUCK IS SCHEDULED FOR THE SAME SERVICE ON 12-11-2019.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ELECTRIC REAR TAILGATE FALLS DOWN RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED OR EVEN WHILE PARKED. TAILGATE HAS FALLEN 5-6 TIMES WHILE TRUCK IS PARKED IN LAST FEW MONTHS AND ALSO 5+ TIMES WHILE CAR IS DRIVING. IT HAS FALLEN WHILE TRUCK WAS IN REVERSE, AND WHILE TRUCK WAS TRAVELING ON COUNTRY ROADS AT SPEEDS OF ~40MPH. PLEASE NOTE - THIS ISSUE SEEMS IDENTICAL TO THE ONE FORD JUST ANNOUNCED A RECALL FOR ON THE 2017-2019 F-250 SUPERDUTY TRUCKS. IT MUST BE RELATED. OUR TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP JUST LAST WEEK BEFORE THIS RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. THIS TRUCK SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THE TAILGATE MOST RECENTLY FELL 11/28/19
