UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Revision of 11448462 filed on 1/23/22 My wife and I were driving to our house in our 2016 Ford F150 and were approaching the final turn into our subdivision. When approaching our road to turn, I turned my directional signals on to show that I was turning left and was slowing down. Also, there was a line of cars behind me. I immediately saw that my turn signals were not working, and were not aware that I was turning left, and continued going straight to ensure that the cars behind me did not ram me in the rear. As soon as I could, I pulled the truck off the right side of the road into a small drainage ditch. No damage to the truck at that time. Electrical components failed; My safety and my wife's safety were put at risk. This problem with the turn signals has been noted by Woody Anderson Ford, Huntsville Al. My truck, after we arrived home, sat in our driveway for approximately a week while I went through my Ford User Manual and several repair manuals looking for the problem. I did not find any reference to that specific problem. However, during that week, while sitting in the driveway, the truck continued to develop more problems, specifically the engine developed problems that would not allow it to run, and the transmission locked- preventing the wheels to roll. The truck is now at Woody Anderson Ford, Huntsville, Ala. .As of this last Friday, at $ 100 an hour for diagagonise. They have told me that the truck is probably unfixable. These two faults, If they had happed to the truck while we had been driving, would probably have killed all occupants of the truck, and anyone that we might have hit would be in the same condition. Please look at your records and the number of the same year and equipped trucks are on the road and are a safety risk.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:ELECTRONIC LOCK/LATCH ACTUATOR, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
We bought our 2016 F150 in 2019. We are not able to latch the driver's door so it is not closed and unable to be driven. There was a recall for this issue but we don't show anything via our VIN number. If it was fixed in a recall, it doesn't work now. What can we do in order to have it fixed?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
My wife and I were traveling to our home in the truck. When preparing to turn left off the main road, I noticed that the turn signals were not working, requiring me to go to the right off the side of the road, as there was heavy traffic behind us. While on the side of the road, I tried the windshield wipers, window sprayer, and turn signals. None were working. I turned the engine off and then restarted the truck, and limped home. After getting home, the truck was parked while looking for a mechanic to fix whatever was wrong with it. It was recommended to me that the "Wiper Multi-switch" be replaced. This did not eliminate the problem. I then arranged for the Ford Dealer, Woody Anderson Ford, to take the truck in and fix it. The Dealer says the truck has had a major electrical failure and doubts that can be fixed.

POWER TRAIN
I was driving on the interstate and the vehicle displayed a Blind Spot failure in the middle of the instrument cluster. At that same moment the truck abruptly down shifted almost causing me to loose control and the car behind me to take evasive action off the shoulder of the road. The truck engine was still running but pressing on the accelerator had no response. I had to attempt to navigate two lanes to my left through traffic with no power and in a coast mode. If I were pulling my trailer I would probably not be alive to write this. I took truck to Dave Knapp Ford dealer (where I bough it new). They indicate it is module in the transmission with known issues in various years. They pulled computer info and confirmed what I have written here with exact mph etc. They indicate that this is not a recall. I believe all F150 drivers should be aware of this and are at risk of death or injury.

ENGINE
3.5L Ecoboost - Warped/broken exhaust manifold studs that is due to extreme heat produced by the twin turbos. There's no warning lights and by the time some symptoms starts developing, studs are probably broken or warped which causes a leakage prevents the manifold from properly dissipating the heat/exhaust which can possibly cause additional heat to be repelled back to the engine. Early signs could be a minor to moderate chirping sound that might radiate somewhere around the driver or front passenger lower console when accelerating while driving.

Re: [XXX]. On 10/11/21, I brought my 2016,Ford, F-150 into Hollingsworth Richardson, Baton Rouge, LA for an oil change, and tire rotation. I was informed by the Intake Clerk that the technician could not rotate the tires because he could not remove the lug nuts. Later, I discovered that from. About 2010 to 2015, Ford Manufacturing used composite materials over the lug nuts that would swell, thus rendering the lug nuts immovable. I contacted Ford Manufacturing, and made a complaint. They were to respond within 24 hours. Two days later, after not receiving a response, I contacted Ford via chat, and was told that my case had been summarily closed. This potentially dangerous defect required me to purchase 24 replacement lug nuts at a cost of $73.00, then take my vehicle to a local mechanic, who used a compression air wrench to remove the defected lug nuts, and replace them with those that I purchased. The mechanic who did the replacement work did not charge me for his work, having had the same problem with Ford. Regarding the on-line chat FMC, and their dismissal of my complaint, I took screen shots with my cell phone, Nd saved it to my picture file. If there is a Class Action Suit Log pending, I would like my name to be added to the list. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
While driving, I applied the brakes and the pedal went to the floor. I received a low brake fluid warning. I checked and there was almost no fluid in the master cylinder. It was determined that the master cylinder rear seal had failed. The brake fluid had leaked into the brake booster, which failed. I was driving on the interstate when the brakes failed suddenly and without warning. The vehicle is now at the Ford dealer for repair and they have confirmed the failure of the seal in the master cylinder. I am aware of a prior recall on this issue #20S31 - but the dealer informs me that my VIN # is not part of the recalled vehicle group. However, my sudden failure is exactly what the subject of the prior recall covered. I have the exact model and engine as was involved in the recall.

POWER TRAIN
While driving at 50 mph, automatic transmission put itself in 1st gear. Tires squealed, and engine revved. luckily, no other traffic in area. Transmission self corrected after a few seconds. The weather was dry. Temperature in the low 40's. Other similar occurrences were when starting from a stop sign or red light, transmission stayed in 1st gear. On all above occasions, the dashboard display simply said to see owners manual. My impression is the transmission is believing I am in manual mode for a few seconds.

WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS/STUDS
Wheel lug nuts outer layer has deformed making it impossible to tighten lug nuts correctly. Dealer stated this is a common occurrence, but usually happens after 100,000 miles. My vehicle is at 60,996 miles. Dealer stated only option is to change lug nuts at a cost of 129.00 dollars or tires could not be rotated until new lug nuts were purchased. What happens if you have a flat tire on the side of the road? With distorted lug nuts, a person could not get proper torque and wheel could separate from vehicle while driving.

ENGINE
My local ford dealer found during a service request that the Driver’s side exhaust manifold has warped and broken studs for the manifold, causing an exhaust leak that poses a potential safety issue from gases leaking into the passenger cabin and creating a considerable amount of noise, as well as some performance loss.

THE REAR WINDOW (NON SLIDING) IS SEVERELY LEAKING DURING HARD RAIN AND WHEN GOING THRU A CAR WASH. THE HEADLINER IS SOAKED AND THIS COULD BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE PROBLEM COULD CAUSE MILDEW AND MOLD UNDER THE HEADLINER WHICH COULD CAUSE BREATHING PROBLEMS TO INFANTS AND TODDLERS RIDING IN CAR SAFETY SEATS AS WELL AS OTHER PASSENGERS RIDING IN THE VEHICLE. i WOULD EXPECT FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO RECALL AND REPAIR ALL FORDS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.
