VISIBILITY/WIPER
BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR, TEMPERATURE ACTUATOR, HEATING & AIR SYSTEM QUIT WORKING CORRECTLY ON DRIVER'S SIDE OF VEHICLE. APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ISSUE ON OTHER FORD MODELS. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN A SITUATION WHERE THE WINDSHIELD WAS FOGGY OR ICY. BUT VERY CONCERNED THAT IT COULD BE A PROBLEM FOR OTHERS. IF THIS PART WOULD FAIL SOMEONE IN A ICE STORM OR VERY HUMID CONDITIONS, IT WOULD BECOME A VISION PROBLEM FOR THE DRIVER. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE SEVERAL OTHERS PEOPLE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS - I DO NOT KNOW IF ANY RESULTING ACCIDENTS OCCURRED.

ENGINE
ENGINE STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING. MY TRUCK STALLED OUT ON ME 3 TIMES ON 10/21/15, AND HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES BEFORE BUT ALWAYS ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ON THE 21ST, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 5-10 MPH IN A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT WHEN MY TRUCK STALLED FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT DAY. ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES LATER, MY TRUCK STALLED TWO MORE TIMES, ONCE AT ABOUT THE SAME SPEED AS BEFORE AND ONCE WHILE I WAS SWITCHING LANES AT ABOUT 40 MPH. THIS ALSO MEAN I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND ALMOST GOT INTO 2 ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. AFTER THE PROBLEM OCCURS, AN OIL FUNNEL LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN I SHIFT MY TRUCK MANUALLY INTO NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY AND MY TRUCK FIRES RIGHT BACK UP WITHOUT HESITATION. I DROVE MY TRUCK STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I LET THEM TEST AND DRIVE IT FOR 2 DAYS AND THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM, THE TRUCK DIDN'T THROW ANY CODES EITHER AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS NORMAL WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS FOR THE OIL FUNNEL LIGHT TO COME ON. I'M AT A LOSS FOR WHAT COULD BE WRONG WITH MY TRUCK AND AS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. IF MY TRUCK DOES THIS TO ME WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IT COULD RESULT IN A HUGE ACCIDENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FUEL PUMP RELAY FUSE (#27) WILL EITHER BLOW OR MELT IN FUSE BOX. REPLACING FUSE WILL ONLY FIX PROBLEM TEMPORARILY, AS MELTED AREA IN FUSE BOX WILL CAUSE NEW FUSE TO NOT MAKE CONSISTENT CONTACT, LEADING TO VEHICLE NOT STARTING WHEN HOT, OR EVEN ENGINE CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING REALLY BAD SAFETY ISSUE. VERY DIFFICULT PROBLEM TO FIX, AS DEALERS EITHER GIVE YOU THE RUN AROUND OR WANT TO REPLACE ENTIRE FUSE BOX AND ENGINE WIRING HARNESS WHICH COSTS ABOUT $2000, PARTS AND LABOR. 'SOLUTION' IS TO FIND WIRE TO RELAY IN FUSE BOX, VERY DIFFICULT, AND SPLICE IN AN INLINE FUSE. HAVE HAD MECHANIC AND TOWING FEES OVER $1000 SO FAR, AND STILL ONLY HAVE A BYPASS FUSE INSTALLED. LOCAL DEALER WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, AS THEY SEE THIS PROBLEM ALL OF THE TIME, WAS TOLD TO CALL FORD, WHICH HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. ANOTHER FORD OWNER NEXT DOOR HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN
I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH ON A PAVED ROAD WHEN THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A HARD JOLT, THE REAR TIRES LOCKED UP AND CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP. AT FIRST I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME. AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP I APPLIED BRAKES AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. I THEN RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AT WHICH TIME I NOTICED A ORANGE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I PUT THE VEHICLE BACK IN PARK, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND CALLED A WRECKER SERVICE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. MY F 150 HAD APPROXIMATELY 53,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN THIS OCCURRED. HADTHIS OCCURRD A FEW MINUTES LATER I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN POTENTIAL FOR THIS CAUSING A DANGEROUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOT USED THIS VEHICLE TO PULL TRAILERS OR CARRY ANY HEAVY LOADS SINCE NEW. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY TRANSMISSION, BRAKE OR OTHER POWER TRAIN ISSUES SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE NEW.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
STARTED REAR DEFROST DUE TO FOG ON THE WINDSHIELD. DROVE ABOUT 5 MILES AT 25 MPH AND HEARD A VERY LOUD POP. IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING HIT THE ROOF. PROCEEDED TO WORK AND LOOKED AT THE REAR GLASS. THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SPIDERWEB. TAPE WAS PLACED ON THE WINDOW IN AN EFFORT TO HOLD SHARDS OF GLASS THAT WERE FALLING OFF. AS I WAS TAPING ADDITIONAL SMALL GLASS SHARDS WERE FOUND. FORD IS UNWILLING TO ADMIT THAT ANY OF THIS MIGHT BE DUE TO A PRODUCT DEFECT. THIS WILL COST AROUND 600.00 TO REPLACE AND OF COURSE A DAY OFF WORK.

AT HIGHWAY CRUISING SPEED, WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE TRUCK SPONTANEOUSLY LOCKED UP THE WHEELS AND WENT INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE SKID OFF THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY INTO THE DITCH AND UP THE EMBANKMENT.

WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FORD F150, TURNED ON REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER. JUST TOOK OFF FROM STOP SIGN AND IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN GOING OFF. STOPPED AND MY REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. WAS GOING LESS THEN 10 MPH. IS THERE ANY RECALL ON THIS? NOW I HAVE TO FILE A INCIDENT REPORT WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND I DID NOTHING TO CAUSE THE WINDOW TO SHATTER. IF THERE IS NO RECALL WHY NOT !!!!!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON A VERY COLD MORNING, WITH THE DEFROSTERS ON BOTH FRONT AND BACK. I SUDDENLY HEARD A VERY LOUD POP, THEN UPON CHECKING MY REAR VIEW MIRROR I NOTICES THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE OF THE REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTER. ALL OF THE GLASS WAS STILL IN PLACE, BUT THE GLASS LOOKED A VERY TIGHT SPIDERS WEB. I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT BROKEN GLASS IS NOT COVERED. AFTER THE INCIDENCE I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON MANY MODEL YEARS OF THE F-150 TO INCLUDE MY 2010 F-150 LARIAT. IT ENDED UP COSTING ME $661.99 OUT OF MY POCKET TO FIX A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THE REAR GLASS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
WIRING HARNESS ON 2010 FORD F-150 4X4 BURNS UP AT FUSE BOX. ORIGINAL HARNESS WAS REPLACED BY DEALER IN 2013. SECOND HARNESS BURNT UP AT FUSE BOX AFTER 16 MONTHS. WAITING FOR NEW HARNESS AT PRESENT TIME. IT IS THE FUEL PUMP CONNECTION THAT IS BURNING UP IN THE BOX BY THE FUSE. WHEN THE HARNESS BURNS THROUGH, THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY STOPS, EVEN WHILE IN MOTION. THIS CONSTITUTES A SAFETY HAZARD AS NO NOTICE OCCURS BEFORE BURN UP. NO WARNING LIGHTS APPEAR ON DASH TO WARN OF THIS. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE, OTHER THAN REPLACING THE WIRE HARNESS THAT IS BURNING UP. THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE REASON FOR THE BURN UP. ALL THAT HAS BEEN DONE IS REPLACEMENT OF THE PART THAT IS DAMAGED.. HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER A MONTH FOR PARTS. OTHER VEHICLES AT THE DEALERSHIP ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES
AFTER THE TRUCK SITS FOR EIGHT TO 10 HOURS, WHEN I START IT UP I HAVE A VERY HARD BRAKE PEDAL AND NO BRAKES. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I BACK OUT OF THE GARAGE ON A SLIGHT DECLINE. IF I STAND ON THE BRAKE WITH BOTH FEET IT EVENTUALLY BEGINS TO WORK. THERE WERE NO DASHBOARD WARNINGS BEFORE I PULLED OUT OF THE GARAGE. THIS FAILURE WAS VERY FRIGHTENING. IMAGINE THE FEELING OF NO BRAKES! OMG! I WAS HEADED FOR THE NEIGHBOR'S YARD AND BIG TREE! I PLAN TO PURSUE REPAIR OF THIS WITH MY LOCAL SERVICE PEOPLE. MY RESEARCH NARROWED TO AN "ELECTRIC VACUUM ASSIST PUMP" ISSUE BEING INVESTIGATED BY THE NHTSB WHICH SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE WHAT'S HAPPENED TO ME.
