THE DASH PANEL IS WARPING ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES AT THE TOP IN THE AREA OF THE DEFROSTER DUCTS. THIS APPEARS TO BE DIVERTING THE AIR FROM THE DEFROSTER OUTLETS AND CAUSING A REDUCED EFFECIENCY OF THE DEFROSTER SYSTEM.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON MAY 22, 2018, A 2018 FORD SUPER DUTY WAS BEHIND ME. THE FRONT LIGHTS WERE SUPER BRIGHT, TOO MUCH AND DISTRACTING. I FLIPPED MY REARVIEW MIRROR TO REDUCE THE GLARE BUT, COME ON, IT DIDN'T REALLY HELP. SIDE MIRRORS DON'T DIM, DO THEY? WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I HELD MY HAND OVER THE CENTER REARVIEW MIRROR. THE LIGHTS ARE TOO MUCH. PLEASE GET A HANDLE ON THIS GROWING PROBLEM.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND WHEN THE PASSENGER DOOR IS UNLOCKED WITH THE KEY FOB THE TAILGATE FAILS DOWN. WHEN THE DRIVER EXITS THE VEHICLE THE TAILGATE FALLS DOWN. BY FALLS DOWN I MEAN THE TAILGATE ON THE PICKUP IS CLOSED AND IN THE VERTICAL POSITION AND THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE TAILGATE IS WITH THE KEY FOB. THE TAILGATE FOB IS DEPRESSED AND THE TAILGATE OPENS (FALLS DOWN) AUTOMATICALLY. ONLY THE TAILGATE CONTROLS ARE INCORRECTLY OPENING THE TAILGATE WHEN THE PASSENGER DOOR IS OPENED WITH THE KEY FOB OR WHEN YOU GET IN THE BACK DOORS. ALSO AFTER DRIVING THE TRUCK WHEN OPENING THE DRIVERS DOOR THE TAILGATE DROPS DOWN. IF A CHILD OR ADULT HAPPENS TO BE BEHIND THE TRUCK THE CAN GET HURT.

10 SPEED TRANSMISSION HAZARDS: WHEN BRAKING THE TRANSMISSION LUNGES INTO TO LOWER GEARS AND SURGES FORWARD ERRATICALLY REQUIRING VARYING BRAKE PRESSURE TO STOP. ACCELERATION IS ALSO ERRATIC, SOMETIMES DELAYED, SOMETIMES IMMEDIATE. THE FORD DEALERSHIP DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION AND FORD WILL NOT RESPONDS TO CALLS. THE ERRATIC BEHAVIOR OF THE TRANSMISSION MAKES THE VEHICLE DANGEREOUS.

STEERING
THE 2018 F-150 TRUCK WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND AFTER APPROXIMATELY 800 MILES THE TRUCK'S STEERING STARTED TO PULL TO THE LEFT AND THEN TO THE RIGHT. THE DIRECTION OF STEERING PULL SEEMS TO SWITCH DEPENDING ON THE LAST TURN MADE OR THE DIRECTION OF THE TRUCKS BODY ROLL, BUT ALSO CHANGES DIRECTION RANDOMLY. THE STEERING WHEEL NEEDS CONSTANT INPUT FROM THE DRIVER IN ORDER TO DRIVE STRAIGHT OR ELSE THE TRUCK WILL BE IN THE OTHER LANE OR OFF THE ROAD. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH AND ALSO ON LOCAL ROADS AT SPEEDS OF 25 MPH. THE ROAD COULD BE STRAIGHT OR CURVED AND THE STEERING WILL CONSTANTLY PULL THE VEHICLE LEFT OR RIGHT AND SEEMS TO PERIODICALLY SWITCH DIRECTIONS. FORD MOTOR CO. HAS BEEN NOTICED MULTIPLE TIMES AND REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE. THREE DIFFERENT CERTIFIED FORD TECH, AT TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE AND SAID THERE WAS A PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT ADMIT THERE IS AN ISSUE OR EVEN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. FORD MOTOR CO. CLAIMS ALL OF THEIR 2018 F-150 DRIVE THIS WAY. THEIR ADVICE TO ME WAS "KEEP YOUR HANDS ON THE WHEEL AND THE TRUCK WILL GO STRAIGHT". OF COURSE IF DRIVER FIGHTS THE STEERING WHEEL PULLING LEFT AND RIGHT CONSTANTLY, THE TRUCK WILL GO STRAIGHT. THE DRIVER OBVIOUSLY WILL TRY TO KEEP THE TRUCK IN IT'S LANE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. IF WHAT FORD MOTOR CO. CLAIMS IS TRUE, THAT ALL THEIR 2018 F-150 DRIVE THIS WAY, THEN THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. FORD MOTOR CO. SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED WITH HOW THE COMPANY TREATS THEIR CUSTOMERS AND ALSO SHOULD BE CONCERNED WITH HAZZARDOUS VEHICLES THEY ARE PUTTING ON THE ROADS. BUYER BE AWARE!

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING WIDESPEAD AMONGST OWNERS OF FORD'S NEW 3.5L HIGH OUTPUT POWERTRAIN. UPON OPEN THROTTLE, THE ENGINE WILL INSTANTLY DROP OFF ALL POWER, CAUSING THE TRUCK TO DANGEROUSLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY DROP TO ZERO MILES PER HOUR. VERY DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING WHILE ENTERING ROADWAYS OR INTERSTATE ROADS WITH TRAFFIC. UPON OPEN THROTTLE, A "LOW OIL PRESSURE" LIGHT TAKES OVER THE VIEWING AREA ON THE DASH CLUSTER AND THEN DISAPPEARS AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. UPON RESTARTING, THE TRUCK WILL FAIL AND PROVIDE A "LOW OIL PRESSURE" SIGNAL AGAIN AFTER APPLYING OPEN THROTTLE. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A DEAD STOP OR UNDER CRUISING SPEEDS, WHEN OPEN THROTTLE IS APPLIED, THE ENGINE FAILS AND CUTS OFF ALL POWER. IT DOESNT MATTER IF YOU ARE TURNING OR GOING STRAIGHT, THE ISSUE HAPPENS REGARDLESS. ALWAYS HAPPENS UNDER OPEN THROTTLE. THIS HAS BECOME A WIDESPEAD ISSUE WITH OWNERS OF THE TRUCK FROM MODEL YEAR 2017-2018. FORD NEEDS TO RESPOND AND FIX THIS ISSUE FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2018 FORD F-150 WITH 7,800 MILES WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVE WAY WHILE WORKING IN MY GARAGE AT MY HOME. THE WINDOWS WERE ROLLED DOWN ABOUT 3" TO KEEP THE HEAT FROM BUILDING INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IT WAS 84 DEGREES OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE. WHEN I WAS ROLLING UP MY WINDOWS TO PUT THE TRUCK BACK IN MY GARAGE, THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW CLOSED AND I HEARD A CRACKING SOUND. NO VISIBLE CRACK WAS EVIDENT. I ROLLED THE WINDOW UP A SECOND TIME AND A VERY SMALL CRACK APPEARED IN THE UPPER CORNER WHERE THE GLASS TURNS UPWARD NEXT TO THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TOOK PICTURES AND TURNED INTO FORD. IT WAS REFUSED AS THEY STATED THEIR WAS IMPACT. MY TRUCK HAS FACTORY WINDOW GUARDS AND THERE IS NOT A MARK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE GUARD OR PAINT. I SENT A CLAIM TO FORD AND THEY STILL CLAIM IT WAS IMPACT. WELL FORD ALL I HAVE TO SAY AS WHERE THE CRACK BEGAN TO PROPAGATE THEIR IS NO WAY POSSIBLE FROM THE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE THAT YOU COULD HUMANLY POSSIBLE IMPACT THIS AREA OF THE WINDOW AS IT IS COMPLETELY CONCEALED. THIS VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY CONCRETE DRIVEWAY WHILE ROLLING UP THE WINDOWS. THERE IS ALSO NO WAY POSSIBLE THAT ANY FOREIGN MATTER COULD HAVE GOT IN THE WINDOW TRACK. THE FIRST PHOTO IS FROM THE EXTERIOR AND THE SECOND IS FROM THE INTERIOR SHOWING THAT THE WINDOW BROKE FROM THE MOST PROTECTED AREA AND DIRECTLY OFF THE CORNER OF THE GLASS WHERE IT INITIALLY STARTED.
