VISIBILITY/WIPER
ON 01/09/2020 I PARKED MY 2018 FORD F 150 IN A PARKING LOT WHEN WE CAME BACK WE HEARD A LOUD POP AND WITHOUT ANY INFLUENCE FROM OUTSIDE OR INSIDE THE BACK WINDOW WITH THE SLIDER INSIDE SHATTERED. WE DROVE TO OUR FORD DEALER AND HE TOLD AS THAT THE GLASS BROKE WITHOUT ANY IMPACT FROM OUTSIDE AND HE IS HAPPY THAT THIS HAS NOT HAVE HAPPENED DURING DRIVING BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. WE CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY WHO DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY EVEN IF THEIR ARE MULTIPLE CLAIMS REPORTED FROM OTHER FORD F 150 DRIVERS WITH THE SAME MODEL. THE DEFROSTER FOR THE WINDOW WAS USED THIS MORNING BECAUSE IT WAS FREEZING AND THE WINDOW INDICATED THAT IT BROKE BECAUSE OF TO MUCH HEAT AND STRESS IN THE GLASS WHAT IS IN MY OPINION A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT FORD SHOULD RECALL THIS CARS BECAUSE THEY ARE A DANGER TO THEIR DRIVER AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD.

STEERING
THE AUTOMATIC START/STOP FUNCTION TURNS THE TRUCK "OFF" AT A STOP. WHEN WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE HAS TURNED OFF AND THE WHEEL IS ENGAGED IN A TURNING ANGLE, THE POWER STEERING DOES NOT TURN BACK ON AS THE ENGINE TURNS BACK ON. THE RESULT IS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING THROUGH THE TURN PUTTING ME IN MULTIPLE SITUATIONS WHERE I HAVE NO POWER STEERING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC UNTIL IT FINALLY ENGAGES APPROXIMATELY 2 SECONDS LATER. IN MULTIPLE SITUATIONS I HAVE HAD TO USE ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO TURN THE WHEEL AND THE VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER STEERING, OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC AS I AM MAKING A TURN.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE FRONT DASHBOARD WARPED UP IN FRONT AND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OVER THE AIRBAG. IT WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP , FORD REDD MCCOMBS. FORD COMPANY APPROVED TO REPLACE THE DASH. IT WAS REPLACED AFTER 5 MONTHS WAITING. AND NO UNCERTAINTY OF SAFETY OF DASHBOARD OVER THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ,POSSIBLY DEPLYING OR EXPLODING. THE SECOND DASH REPLACEMENT HAS WARPED IN THE SAME AREAS AND MORE. THE AREAS OVER THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, AS WELL AS THE DRIVER SIDE ON FRONT DASHBOARD. THE COMPANY AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP HAVE NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THE DASHBOARDS ARE WARPING . I HAVE SEEN AND PHOTOGRAPHED MANY OTHER TRUCKS WITH SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND THE SUFFER THE SAME PROBLEM. IF A PERSON IS NOT LOOKING FOR THE PROBLEM ,THEY WILL NEVER SEE IT UNTIL IT GETS WORSE AND THE WARRENTY HAS EXPIRED AND THEY ARE PROBABLY THINKING ITS THE TEXAS HEAT AND SUN. BUT THIS IS A TRUE VEHICLE HAZARD AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE ADDRESSED FURTHER IF YOU ALL DON'T WISH TO HELP OR GUIDE ME INTO THE RIGHT DIRECTION. IYS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN AND ITS IN ALL F150 TRUCKS FROM 2017 TO 2020. I HAVE SEEN THE FLAW IN THE 2020 MODEL AT THE CAR SHOW THAT WAS HELD IN SAN ANTONIO TX, BACK IN NOVEMBER ,2019.

FIRST COMPLAINT ON AUGUST 21/19. TO HAGERSTOWN FORD DEALERSHIP THAT THIS TRUCK DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY!

I HAVE NOW AS OF 12/23/19 HAVE ADDED A TOTAL OF 5QTS OF OIL TO THIS TRUCK WITH ONLY JUST OVER 5000 MILES ON IT.YOU CAN SMELL BURNED OIL COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND EXHAUST.I HAVE SEVERAL VIDEO DOCUMENTATION TO MY STATEMENT! I SPOKE WITH LARRY WHEN THE TRUCK WAS DROPPED OFF IN NOVEMBER TO HAVE DASH REPLACED FOR A WEEK,TO CALL ME AND TELL ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE CORRECT DASH? I HAVE CONTACTED LARRY IN REGARDS TO THIS VECHILE OIL USE IS UNREAL!!! NO NEW VECHILE GOES THROUGH OIL LIKE THIS! I AM TOLD TO KEEP ADDING OIL.. WHY ARE YOU NOT COVERING THE OIL, IT'S UNDER WARRANTY? THIS TRUCK IS BY FAR THE WORST VECHILE I HAVE EVER OWNED!!!!! I FEEL I'M GETTING THE RUN AROUND N IF SOMETHING ISN'T RESOLVE SOON I WILL TAKE FURTHER ACTION. SO I'VE ALSO BEEN ADVISE THAT THE OIL BACKFLOW THAT'S BURNING OUT THE EXHAUST THE FILTERS WILL HAVE OIL CONSUMPTION THROUGH THEM AS WELL!! DID I GET A LEMON! I THINK SO!

STEERING
AFTER STOPPING IN TRAFFIC AND WAITING TO TURN LEFT IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STEER AS I ACCELERATED FROM A STOP. THIS CAUSED ME TO DRIVE STRAIGHT ACROSS THE INTERSECTION INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC RATHER THAN MAKING MY PLANNED, IMMEDIATE LEFT TURN. AS THE TRUCK DROVE STRAIGHT RATHER THAN TURNING, AND AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO FORCE THE WHEEL LEFT WITH BOTH HANDS, SUDDENLY THE STEERING FUNCTION RETURNED TO NORMAL. I NARROWLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE UNEXPECTED LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE TRUCK AND CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP. A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WAS NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL THE FOLLOWING WEEK SO I DROVE THE TRUCK HOME. THE NEXT DAY (SATURDAY) A SERVICE ADVISER FROM THE FORD DEALER CALLED AND ASKED ME TO DROP THE TRUCK OFF THE FOLLOWING MONDAY AFTERNOON. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SINCE THE INITIAL INCIDENT. IN MY OPINION THE ISSUE MAY BE RELATED TO THE IMPROPER FUNCTION OF THE POWER STEERING AFTER THE STOP /START FUNCTION OF THE TRUCK IS ACTIVATED. THERE IS A MEASURABLE LAG BETWEEN THE ENGINE'S RE-START AND THE REACTIVATION OF THE POWER STEERING. THE TRUCK IS ALLOWED TO TRAVEL BEFORE THE POWER STEERING IS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.

THE LEFT REAR DOOR DOES NOT ALWAYS LATCH PROPERLY AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT UNLOCK. OCCASIONALLY THE REAR DOOR MUST BE SECURED BY TYING IT TO SOMETHING FROM THE INSIDE SO THAT IT DOES NOT FLY OPEN. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE, TO HAVE THE MECHANISM REPLACED AND TO HAVE FORD'S DOOR SEALING RECALL COMPLETED. THE OTHER 3 DOORS WORK FINE.

DRIVERS DOOR OPENED BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. TRIED TO SHUT IT AND IT WOULD NOT SHUT. IT APPEARS THE TRUCK HAS THE FREEZE DOOR LATCH ISSUE THAT FORD HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS. THE NHTSA SHOULD DEMAND A RECALL AND MAKE FORD FIX THE VEHICLES CORRECTLY. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE GETTING THE SERVICE PERFORMED AND IT IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU DOOR CAN FLY OPEN AT ANYTIME.

MY F150 HAS A DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCH/DOOR. IN THE COLD IT FREEZES, YOU CANT OPEN THE DOOR OR THE DOOR WON'T CLOSE/LOCK, IT BASICALLY SWINGS OPEN. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE FORUMS WHICH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS. FORD REPLACES THE PARTS WITH THE SAME PARTS WHICH IN SOME CASES DOESNT FIX THE ISSUE. THIS IS VERY SCARY IF YOU SOMEONE CLOSES THE DOOR THINKING IT LOCKED AND IT SWINGS OPEN WHILE YOUR DRIVING. ALSO SOMEONE CAN BE TRAPPED IN THE CAR BECAUSE THE DOOR IS FROZEN SHUT. LUCKLY I WAS HOME IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPENED. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS SOMEONE CAN GET HURT.
