ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY HIGH SCHOOL DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING OUR 2010 F150 ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL TODAY AND IT FAILED IN THE LEFT TURN LANE AT A BUSY INTERSECTION, AND IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. PEOPLE WERE HONKING THEIR HORNS AND MY DAUGHTER MISSED CLASSES. SHE COULD HAVE BEEN RE-END AND INJURED FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A GARAGE AND THEY SAID IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE RELATED TO A FUSE/FUSE BOX WIRE AND THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A FUSEBOX BYPASS KIT THAT FORD HAS PUT TOGETHER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED. HTTPS://CA.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-C21953_DS740770. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! SHE COULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED AND INJURED FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE! REPAIR COST TO INSTALL FORD'S BYPASS KIT WAS $360. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND DID NOT NOTIFY US TO MY KNOWLEDGE.

SERVICE BRAKES
FRONT BRAKES, FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. PUT NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS ON IT AND 6 MONTHS LATER DOING THE SAME THING. I KEEP HAVING TO TIGHTEN LUG NUTS BECAUSE OF IT. FORD SERVICE ADVISOR SAYS UNFORTUNATELY YEAR MODELS 2009- 2014 HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ROTORS WARPING AND FORD PARTS OR AFTER MARKET PARTS WILL NOT FIX IT. HE SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM IN 2015 BUT THERE THERE IS NOT A FIX FOR MY YEAR MODEL? I DRIVE THE INTERSTATES A LOT AND I AM AFRAID A WHEEL IS GOING TO COME OFF.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY TRUCK CRANKS BUT WON'T START. THE FUSE TO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS BLOWN. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY TRUCK OWNERS AND FORD IS OFFERING A BYPASS KIT FOR THIS SYSTEM FOR $400-$500. SHOULDN'T THIS BE A RECALL IF THEY'RE HAVING TO INSTALL A BYPASS KIT?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE 20 AMP FUSE FOR THE FUEL PUMP IS MELTING IN THE FUSE BLOCK. THIS IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY FORD DEALERS. THIS 2010 YEAR IS THE PROBLEM EVERYONE IS HAVING. FORD HAS YET TO HAVE A RECALL BUT WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS IT IS NOT GOING TO LONG UNTIL SOMEONE IS STRANDED AND THEY BYPASS THE FUSE AND START A FIRE. FORD DOES NEED TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM .I DO NOT HAVE ANY PICTURES OF MINE I CHANGED OVER THE WEEKEND BUT THERE IS PLENTY ON LINE THAT IS HOW WE FOUND WHY MY TRUCK WOULD NOT START. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A FIRE MAY START FROM THIS MELTING OF THE FUSE BLOCK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, WHEELS
TPMS MODULE CONTINUALLY LOOSES CONTACT WITH WHEEL SENSORS AND DISPLAYS "TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR FAULT" IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. DISCOUNT TIRE HAS REPLACED AND RESYNCED THREE TIMES AND IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THE FAULT USUALLY OCCURS WHEN ON THE FREEWAY. ABOUT 30 DAYS AFTER HAVING IT FIXED. THE OTHER ISSUE IS CONTINUAL PROBLEMS WITH THE APIM MODULE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN IF YOU'RE UNABLE TO MAKE A PHONE CALL BECAUSE YOU'RE HAVING CONSTANT BLUETOOTH ISSUES. IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THROUGH A GOOGLE SEARCH THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MODEL AND VINTAGE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, AND FORD IS TRYING THEIR BEST TO BLAME PEOPLES PHONES FOR CAUSING PROBLEMS RATHER THAN ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. MY TRUCK IS IN THE DEALER HAVING THIS ISSUE LOOKED AT FOR A THIRD TIME NOW. I'M FINALLY GETTING THEM TO REPLACE THE APIM UNDER MY EXTENDED FACTORY WARRANTY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER REFUELING VEHICLE WILL BE HARD TO START, AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS AND USING GAS PEDAL TO FORCE AN IDLE IT WILL START, PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS AGAIN AFTER REFUELING. THIS IS COUPLED WITH SUDDEN ENGINE CUT OFF AT LOW SPEEDS. DEALER IS CLUELESS AS TO A FIX FOR EITHER. I CONSIDER THE SUDDEN SHUT OFF TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, PARTICULARLY DRIVING IN MOUNTAINS AS I DO.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
FORD F150 4X4 XLT, DASH BOARD KEEPS GOING OUT. SHOWS SKIDDING, AND TIRE SENSOR FAULTY, DINGGING, A/C GOES HOT, INSIDE LIGHTS DON'T WORK. HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES, SPOKE WITH FORD TOOK IT IN, THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, WHICH WE HAVE FOUND OUT IS A LIE. THEY STATED WE NEEDED A NEW BATTERY, WHICH WE HAD TESTED AS WELL AS THE ALTERNATOR AND NOTHING WRONG THERE EITHER. WE TOOK IT TO ADVANCED AUTO TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD TELL US. A YOUNG MAN SAID THAT FORD HAD PUT OUT A INSIDE NOTICE THAT HIS BUDDY SHOWED HIM OF A FAULTY WIRING HARNESS IN THE DASH. HE ASKED IF HE COULD SHOW US A SHORT TERM FIX...HE SMACKED THE DASH AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. IF WE HIT A BUMP IT WILL DO IT AGAIN, OR ON REALLY HOT DAYS, BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. WE ARE WAITING ON FORD TO RECALL THIS AS IT IS A SERIOUS HAZARD AND MAYBE START FIRES. AS SOMETIMES YOU SMELL ELECTRICAL, THIS HAPPENS DAILY WHEN EVER WE DRIVE THE TRUCK, YOU CAN HAVE A WRECK TRYING TO SMACK IT HARD ENOUGH TO GET IT TO COME BACK ON. THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE SITTING IN THE TRUCK , DRIVING, OR WHEN YOU GO TO START IT UP...YOU WILL HAVE NO GAUGES, LIGHTS A/C OR HEAT IN THE WINTER. YET THE OUTSIDE LIGHTS WILL WORK, YET WHEN YOU PUSH THE BRAKES YOU HEAR A LOUD CLICKING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR APPROX. 2.5 YRS +...FORD NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THIS. EVERYDAY WE DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEMS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. WE BROUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW AND IT FIRST DID THIS AROUND 23,000 MILES. NOW AT JUST OVER 50,000 MILES. THERE ARE TIMES THAT SMACKING THE DASH DOES NOTWORK AND WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO COME ON, THOSE TIME YOU HAVE TO RUN WITH TRAFFIC OR IF OTHERS ARE PASSING YOU NEED TO SPEED UP. VERY DANGEROUS
