SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY IN MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN OR PULLING A LOAD, THE VEHICLE WILL DOWN SHIFT MULTIPLE GEARS. INSTEAD OF A PROGRESSION OF ONE GEAR AT A TIME, IT IS A SUDDEN SHIFT FROM LE. FOURTH TO SECOND OR FIRST. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT REDUCTION AS MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A GEAR INDICATOR. IT OCCURS SPORADICALLY WITH NO WARNING. THIS ACTION HAS NEVER CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION BUT IS CONCERNING. THE ENGINE RPM HAS JUMPED TO THE RED LINE WHICH I FEEL MAY CAUSE ENGINE AND/OR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY AS THE ON COMING TRAFFIC SPEED LIMIT IS 50MPH, I'M PULLING OUT ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A SAFE DISTANCE BETWEEN CARS ON THIS BUSY ROAD AS I ACCELERATED MY 2010 F150 FX4 SUPER CREW CAB "WITH MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK I MIGHT ADD" THE TRUCK JUST DOWN SHIFTS AND IT SLAMS ME AND MY FAMILY FORWARD "LIKE I HIT A TREE GOING 30MPH" THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY AND A SYMBOL OF A WRENCH POPS UP ON THE DASHBOARD. WITH NO POWER STEERING, NO POWER BREAKS, NO WAY TO SAFELY MOVE THE TRUCK OFF THE ROAD AT THIS POINT DUE TO THE TRAFFIC I WAS TRYING TO AVOID WAS PASSING ME GOING AT LEAST 50MPH ALMOST GETTING REAR ENDED BY SEVERAL CARS AND SEMI TRUCKS, I PUSH THE FLASHERS ON AND PRAY THAT NOTHING BAD HAPPENS AND COAST UNTIL THE TRUCK FINALLY COMES TO A STOP AFTER ABOUT 30-45 SECONDS. I GET OUT OF THE TRUCK AFTER THE GROUP OF VEHICLES PASS BY AND INSPECTED TO SEE IF THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION WAS BLOWN UP OR LEAKING FLUID AND NOTHING AT THIS POINT SO I'M STRESSED OUT BECAUSE MY FAMILY AND I COULD HAVE VERY WELL DIED AND THERE IS NO PROOF OF THIS WHEN I RESTARTED THE TRUCK NO SYMBOLS WAS PRESENT WHEN INSPECTED BY A MECHANIC. I KEEP TELLING THE MECHANIC THAT IT HAS NO POWER ANY MORE, IT SOOOOO SLUGGISH I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE THE TRUCK MUCH ANYMORE, ONLY ON SHORT TRIPS TO THE STORE. WE HAD TO CANCEL OR VACATION AND CANCEL THE PURCHASE OF A CAMPER FOR OUR VACATION. I'M SORRY BUT IF FORD WAS A REAL SYMBOL OF SAFETY AND SECURITY OF ITS OWNERS THIS WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP!!!

TRANSMISSION OR TORQUE CONVERTER CAUSES THE TRUCK TO SHAKES AND SHUDDER. IT ALSO DOWN SHIFTS AND IS A KICKING FEELING. AT TIMES FEELING LIKE SOMEONE HAS REAR ENDED YA. THROWS HEAD BACK IT'S SO VIOLENT. THE SHAKING AND SHUDDERING TYPICALLY STARTS AT AROUND 38-54 MPH. THEN FOR NO REASON AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS UP TO 80 MPH. ANYTIME THERE IS A UPHILL GRADE IT CONSTANTLY DOWNSHIFTS AND SHAKES EVEN MORE. THE SHUDDERS ARE SO VIOLENT THE MIRRORS CAN'T BE USED TO SEE ANYTHING. I CAN FEEL IT IN MY TEETH. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. HAVE TAKEN IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT WAS NEW. EVEN WHEN TALKING ON BLUETOOTH PHONE- OTHERS HAVE SAID THEY COULD HEAR IT OVER THE PHONE. FORD HAS REFUSED AND NEVER FIXED THIS PROBLEM AND TOLD ME THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO PROTECT ITSELF. WHAT BS. I'VE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE THAT DID THIS ON PURPOSE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FROM BEFORE 2010. WHY ISN'T MY YEAR MODEL TRUCK COVERED AND THOSE BEFORE MINE?? NOW THERE'S A RECALL FOR THIS VERY THING FOR 2011-2013 YEAR MODELS. MY TRUCK IS DANGEROUS AND A PAIN IN THE BUTT TO DRIVE. FORD NEEDS TO FIX ALL OF THE VEHICLES PRODUCED WITH THIS PROBLEM NOT JUST 3 YEARS. 🤬 I'M DOING THIS ON MY PHONE. I HAVE RECORDS AND IF NEEDED YOU CAN COME DRIVE WITH ME AND SEE FOR YOURSELF. SURE HOPE ME OR ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS DOESN'T GET HURT DRIVING THIS TRUCK BECAUSE OF THIS CRAP. SORRY, REALLY PISSED THAT FORD IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO GET AWAY WITH SCREWING FOLKS OVER. HAPPENS FROM 2010- TO PRESENT. (2019)

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON 2/5/19, AROUND 6:45AM, AND HAD THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST ON. WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, I HEARD A LOUD POP COMING FROM THE VEHICLE.THE SOUND WAS LOUD ENOUGH TO BE MISTAKEN FOR A GUN SHOT. AFTER TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE NOISE WAS, I NOTICED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY CRACKED. I WAS AMAZED THE ENTIRE WINDOW DIDN'T COLLAPSE INWARD. AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND INSPECTING THE WINDOW CLOSER, I WAS UNABLE TO SEE WHERE ANY FOREIGN OBJECT IMPACTED THE WINDOW. I BELIEVE THIS INCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST HEATING THE WINDOW TOO RAPIDLY AND CAUSING THE CLASS TO EXPAND TOO MUCH, CAUSING THE FAILURE.

THE STEERING GOT VARY TIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY. THEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL BROKE WHILE ENTERING THE PARKING LOT.I COULD MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. BUT IT WAS NOT TURNING THE TIRES. THANKFULLY I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH I HAD JUST LEFT. IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY I WOULD NOT BE WRITING THIS COMPLAINT. BECAUSE I WOULD BE IN THE HOSPITAL OR DEAD!

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
1. I AM NOT ALONE IN A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE FUEL CANISTER BEING A PROBLEM ON THE F150- I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS TWICE NOW- OTHERS IN THE FORUM ARE DOING THE SAME. THE VAPOR CANISTER IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BECOMES FAULTY AND THE ENGINES STALL OR RUNS ROUGH- WHEN IT STALLS, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. I GREW UP WITHOUT POWER STEERING- 97$ OUT OF POCKET- DEALER COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT- HAD ANOTHER MECHANIC DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR. IT'S A SIMPLE FIX- YET CAN BE DANGEROUS IF SOMEONE WITH STRONG ARM STRENGTH CANNOT TURN THE VEHICLE OR USE THE BREAKS. THIS HAS TO BE LOOKED AT.! I SHOULD HAVE BEEN REIMBURSED! WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED IS INEXCUSABLE- HAPPENED WITH JUST 35K MILES ON TRUCK. 2. SEEMS FORD HAS A MEGA DEFECT WITH BAD DESIGN ON THEIR F150 POWER REAR WINDOWS WITH THE HEAT GRIDS GOING BAD- THIS HAPPENED AT MAYBE THE SAME TIME, AND UNLESS I SPEND 1000 DOLLARS, I HAVE NO REAR-WINDOW DEFOGGING- THIS WAS NEARLY A 50K VEHICLE, AND JUST STARTED TO FALL APART AFTER THE WARRANTY. THIS IS A BAD DESIGN- IF ICE AND ALL IN THE SOUTH, MANY DO NOT HAVE THE PREPARATIONS FOR THIS (I GREW UP IN THE NORTH). I STILL CAN'T DEFROST MY REAR WINDOW), BUT HAVE A SCRAPER 3. HIGH MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT- SEEMS, FORD REFUSES TO FIX A BAD DESIGN FOR FAULTY HIGH MOUNT THIRD BRAKE LIGHT- CHEAP GASKET WILL FADE, AND MANY OF USE (MYSELF RECENTLY) HAVE PROBLEMS WITH WATER DRIPPING INSIDE THE CAB- 100 PLUS BUCKS FOR A NEW ONE? CAN'T EVEN BUY THE GASKET?? AND LET'S ADD TO THE FACT THE LIGHTS ARE SO BADLY DESIGNED, THEY COLLECT GRIME/CRAP AND JUST LOOK LIKE YUP. (BIGGEST CONCERN IS RUINING THE INTERIOR WITH WATER- I HAD A LOT OF WET RECENTLY- F150 FORUM IS PLASTERED WITH THESE PROBLEMS. THE FUEL CANISTER MAKING THE VESICLE STALL IS DANGEROUS. AND I FEEL FORD SHOULD ADDRESS THIS. (THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT IMPROVING THE OTHER ISSUES IN 2018. SHAME- NO QUALITY!~

AIR BAGS, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE WOULD STALL AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING. MECHANICS AT FORD ADVISED THAT IT WAS RELAY WIRE OR HARNESS WIRES FOR THE AIRBAG SENSORS THAT RAN THROUGH THE FUEL TANK WERE CORRODED OR SHORTED OUT. THEY REPORTED THAT THE ENGINEERS AT FORD MADE A BAD CALL WHEN THEY DECIDED TO RUN THE WIRES THROUGH THE FUEL TANK, WHICH IN TURN RESULTED IN ME HAVING TO DISH OUT 1500 BUCKS FOR THE REPAIR. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES PRIOR TO THE REPAIR ON A TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 53000 MILES AT THE TIME, BETWEEN DURING MARCH OR APRIL OF 2014 WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE USED TRUCK. LOST ALL POWER AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND ON SEVERAL ROAD TYPES INCLUDING HIGHWAY, HIGHWAY SERVICE ROAD, RESIDENTIAL STREET AND FARM TO MARKET ROAD, WHILE GOING STRAIT AND DURING TURNS, AFTER MULTIPLE EVENTS AND HAVING PUT LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT, I TOOK IT UP TO FORD. GRATEFUL THAT NO ACCIDENTS OCCURED DURING THE EPISODES I EXPERIENCED. I WAS ABLE TO COMETO A STOP, PLACE THE TRUCK IN PARK AND RESTART IT. TTINCE THE REPAIR NO ISSUES. LOVE THE F SERIES PICK UPS AND HAVE OWNED SEVERAL OVER A SPAN OF 18 YEARS AND ITS ALL MY DADS COMPANY USES. I KNOW ITS BEEN ALMOST 4 YEARS SINCE HAVING THE ISSUE BUT FELT LIKE I NEEDED TO SAY SOMETHING TO AT LEAST GIVE OTHERS A HEAD UP OR WARNING. NEVER SET WELL WITH ME. I STILL HAVE THE REPAIR PAPERWORK IF NEEDED.

WHEELS
I TOOK MY FORD F150 TO THE DEALER FOR A ROUTINE OIL AND TIRE ROTATION. THE SERVICE REP CAME TO ME AND SAID THAT IT WILL TAKE A LITTLE LONGER FOR SERVICE BECAUSE YOUR LUG NUTS ARE SWELLING. HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT I SHOULD PURCHASE NEW LUG NUTS BECAUSE A SPECIAL DEALER TOOL IS NEEDED TO REMOVE THE SWELLED LUG NUT. IF I HAVE A FLAT TIRE, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CHANGE IT DO TO THE SWELLED LUG NUTS WHICH WOULD REQUIRE A TOW TO A FORD DEALER. FORD KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE LUGNUTS SWELLING, WHICH IS WHY THEY HAVE A SPECIAL TOOL. THE SERVICE REP STATED THAT I COULD PURCHASE LUGNUTS FROM FORD AND WOULD BE CHARGED $500.00 FOR THE REPAIR. THE PROPER LUGNUTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS BUILT. THIS TO ME IS A SAFETY HAZARD WITH A POSSIBLE FUTURE ROADSIDE ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
11/29/18 WILL BE THE 6TH TIME MY ENGINE SHUT OFF WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND MAKING A TURN. OTHER 5 INCIDENTS WERE ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. EACH OCCASION, SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP, ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE MAKING A TURN, AND I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL WHILE PRESSING BRAKES, STARTS UP, AND I KEEP GOING DOWN THE ROAD. 122K MILES, LOVE THE TRUCK BUT THIS HAS ME VERY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY RIDING IN THE TRUCK. I LOOKED UP ANY RECALLS BUT DID NOT FIND ANYTHING REGARDING THIS. F-150 FORUMS HAVE THE EXACT SAME INCIDENTS AND WHEN TAKING TO FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. PLEASE LET ME KNOW MY OPTIONS OF GETTING FORD TO DO SOMETHING.
