POWER TRAIN
SINCE PURCHASE IN 2010, THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUALLY SEARCHES FOR THE RIGHT GEAR, NEVER SEEMS TO FIND IT, AND WILL "BANG" INTO WHATEVER GEAR IT CHOOSES. GALPIN AND SIMI VALLEY FORD HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RE-CREATE CONDITION AND SIMPLY SAY IT IS DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION. APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO, SIMI VALLEY FORD STATED THE "SPLINE SHAFT" WAS NEVER LUBRICATED AND CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM BY LUBRICATING THE AREA. THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED, PAST THE BASIC 3/36 WARRANTY, AND NOW HAVE BEEN TOLD THE ISSUE IS NOT A "POWERTRAIN" ISSUE AND THEREFORE NOT UNDER THE 5/60 POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THEY OFFERED TO INSTALL A FORD RECOMMENDED CLAMP AND MORE LUBRICATION FOR A NOMINAL CHARGE. OTHER THAN THE POWERTRAIN ISSUE, THE VEHICLE HAS "STALLED" SEVERAL OCCASIONS. USUALLY THIS OCCURS WHILE COMING TO A STOP. VEHICLE IS THEN RESTARTED AND GOOD FOR AWHILE. GALPIN FORD HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REPRODUCE, THEREFORE, NO PROBLEM. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAD THE REAR DEFROST RUNNING AS IT WAS COLD OVERNIGHT AND THE WINDOWS HAD FROSTED OVER. AS I WAS DRIVING, I HEARD A LOUD POP AND SAW THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW HAD BEEN SHATTERED IN A SPIDER WEB PATTERN. I GOT HOME AND WAS FINALLY ABLE TO INSPECT THE WINDSHIELD. I OBSERVED THE "SPIDER WEB" EFFECT STARTING IN THE LOWER LEFT HAND CORNER OF THE GLASS. THERE WAS A FLUID SEEPING OUT FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE GLASS AT THE POINT OF ORIGIN. THE GLASS ALSO HAS A DISCOLORATION AS IF IT HAD BEEN HEATED. I WAS ABLE TO SEARCH ONLINE AND FIND NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO FOUND SEVERAL ACCOUNTS WHERE THE POP HAD CAUSED A FIRE AND MELTED PORTIONS OF THE WINDOW AND ITS FRAMING. *TR

2010 FORD F-150. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO A COMPLAINT WITH VEHICLE DEALERSHIP . *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED IN JANUARY 2012, HE STARTED TO HEAR AN INCESSANT HIGH PITCHED SQUEAKING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE SQUEAKING NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE TAILGATE LATCH ASSEMBLY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE DEALER STATED THEY LUBRICATED BOTH SIDES AND WAS ROAD TESTED AND THE NOISE WAS GONE. THE SERVICE REP, THEN GAVE THE CONSUMER A TUBE OF SILICONE THAT WAS USED PRIMARILY FOR BRAKE COMPONENTS AND INFORMED THE CONSUMER, IF THE NOISE RETURNED, LUBRICATE THE TAILGATE LATCH. FOR AWHILE, THERE WAS NO NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS LATER, THE NOISE HAD RETURNED. THE CONSUMER WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER, TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THAT THE PREVIOUS DEALER PROVIDED HIM WITH THE WRONG TYPE OF LUBRICANT AND THE DEALER REASSURED HIM THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN RESOLVED. HOWEVER, TWO MONTHS LATER, THE NOISE HAD RETURNED AGAIN. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER AGAIN, WHERE THEY CHOSE TO LUBRICATE THE TAILGATE LATCH ASSEMBLY FOR THE THIRD TIME. THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAD OTHER ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE THAT WERE CORRECTED, SUCH AS THE RIGHT REAR SHOCK, THE TRANSMISSION SLIP YOKE, A LOOSE FUEL DOOR AND A RATTLING NOISE IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR PANEL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
LAST WEEK I STARTED MY MORNING COMMUTE @ 5AM. 5 MINUTES AFTER DEPARTURE - I HEARD THE EQUIVALENT OF A 22 CALIBER GUN BEING FIRED IN THE CAB OF MY 2010 FORD F150 PLATINUM. ALARMED BY THE SOUND I SWERVED INTO THE ADJACENT LANE, THANKFULLY THERE WERE NOT MANY OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND BEGAN A VISUAL INSPECTION, IMMEDIATELY, I SAW MY PASSENGER REAR WINDOW SHATTERED AND SMOLDERING IN THE LOWER LEFT CORNER. AFTER A CLOSER LOOK, THIS APPEARED TO BE WHERE THE DEFROSTING MECHANISM WAS LOCATED IN THE GLASS. THERE WAS A METAL SUBSTANCE BEING LEAKED IN BETWEEN THE CAB AND THE BED OF THE TRUCK. I HOPE THIS WAS NOT LEAD OR MERCURY, IN MY CURIOSITY I TOUCHED AND THEN THOUGHT ABOUT THE OLD THERMOMETERS IN GRADE SCHOOL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), EXTERIOR LIGHTING
STARTED TRUCK ONE MORNING RIGHT BEFORE THANKSGIVING AND NO LIGHTS DISPLAYED IN THE CONTROL DASH PANEL. GREAT RIGHT BEFORE A PLANNED TRIP. NONE OF THE GAUGES WORKED. BEGAN DRIVING AND THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING. HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AND SOMETHING BEEPED AND THEY CAME BACK ON FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN WENT BACK OFF, AND THIS TYPE OF ELECTRICAL BEHAVIOR HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE RIGHT BEFORE THANKSGIVING. ON OCCASION I CAN JUST SHUT THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND THE DISPLAY PANEL GAUGES AND LIGHTS BEGIN WORKING FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN WITHOUT WARNING THE DASH IS BLANK AGAIN. SOMETIMES I'M LUCKY AND THEY STAY ON FOR 50MILES BEFORE GOING OUT AGAIN. I PUT FUEL IN THE TRUCK TODAY 01-13-2013 IN SULFUR OKLA AND NO FUEL GAUGE. IT DIDN'T REGISTER AND THE DISPLAY LIGHTS BEGAN GOING OFF AND ON. I STOPPED IN PAULS VALLEY OKLA FOR A COKE, WHILE IDLING, THE OUTSIDE TEMP GAUGE CLIMBED FROM 29 ACTUAL DEGREES TO 86DEGREES IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES BUT WHEN I BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN THE OUTSIDE TEMP WENT BACK DOWN TO 29DEGREES. ON 2 OCCASIONS WHILE ON I-35 THE GAUGES WOULD BEEP, RESET AND GO BACK OFF. I DROVE FROM ATOKA OKLA TO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE WITH NO WAY OF TELLING MY SPEED, FUEL GAUGE, NO TEMP GAUGE NO BLINKERS TO SIGNAL LANE CHANGES, I EVEN TRIED THE EMERG. FLASHERS AND THEY WOULDN'T WORK EITHER. I'M REALLY AFRAID THERE IS GOING TO BE A FIRE IN THE DASH OR SOMETHING AND I'LL LOOSE EVERYTHING, AND NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE. IT SEEMS TO BE ALL ABOUT THE SALE. MY WARRANTY IS ALMOST UP AND NO ONE CARES!, THIS IS NOT NORMAL! BEFORE I LEFT ON MY TRIP 01-08-2013 TO OKLA. I CALLED THE DEALER GENE MESSER WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK, AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE A SERVICE MAN CALL. WELL IT'S THE 14TH AND NO CALL. THERE IS DEFIANTLY SOMETHING WRONG WHEN YOU SPEND OVER 40,000 DOLLARS ON A VEHICLE AND AFRAID YOUR GOING TO GET A SPEEDING TICKET, BUT WORSE BURN UP IN IT OR GET KILLED. PLEASE HELP. *TR

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WENT OUT TOO WARM UP MY TRUCK THE OTHER MORNING BEFORE WORK. I STARTED THE VEHICLE, TURNED ON HEAT AND THE FRONT AND REAR DEFROSTER. CAME BACK OUTSIDE TO LEAVE ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER, AS I STARTED TO PULL OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY I HEARD A LOUD POP. I GOT OUT OF MY TRUCK TO INSPECT MY TIRES, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS THE PROBLEM AT FIRST. THEY WERE FINE. I WAS NOT SURE WHAT THE NOISE WAS, SO I GOT BACK INTO THE VEHICLE. AS I PROCEEDED TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AGAIN I LOOKED ON MY REARVIEW MIRROR AND NOTICED MY BACK GLASS WAS SHATTERED. I HAD MY REAR DEFROSTER ON, WHICH FOR SOME REASON SHATTERED MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NO ISSUE AND FORD IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GLASS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE REAR DEFROSTER IN THIS VEHICLE. I BELIEVE FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOME CHILD IS IN THE BACK SEAT OF ONE OF THESE VEHICLES AND GETS INJURED. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DECELERATING 2010 FORD F150 STALLED (4.6L V-8). VEHICLE RESTARTED IN NEUTRAL, THEN STALLED EACH TIME VEHICLE WAS PUT IN GEAR. INCREASED RPMS IN NEUTRAL AND PUT VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND DROVE TO SAFE AREA, VEHICLE STALLED. CLEANED MASS AIR FLOW AND MADE IT HOME. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE THE ONBOARD COMPUTER IS NOT DISPLAYING A CODE THAT THE TRUCK CANNOT BE FIXED. CURRENTLY I REFUSE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT IS STALLING UNEXPECTEDLY AND SUBSEQUENTLY LOSING POWER STEERING AND BRAKE ASSIST. THIS VEHICLE IS A DANGER AND LIABILITY TO ANY DRIVING INSIDE IT, OR NEAR IT. *TR

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE:BODY
AT APX 10,00 MILES ON MY 2010 F150 I STARTED GETTING A CLUNK/BUMP IN THE DRIVELINE WHEN STOPPING AND STARTING. SOMETIMES IT WAS WORSE WHEN TURNING. I AM A 20 YEAR VETERAN MECHANIC WITH PRIOR FORD DEALER EXPERIENCE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED BY THE LOCAL SERVICING FORD DEALER VANBORTEL FORD. IT HAS BEEN IN MANY MANY TIMES FOR THE SAME COMPLAINT. IN THE LIFE OF THIS VEHICLE IT HAS HAD AN ENGINE REPLACED AT 20,00 THE TORQUE CONVERTER AT 25,000 THE DRIVESHAFT AT APX 35,000 THE REAR SPRINGS AT 37,000 AND THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. IT IS IN NOW ON 12/26/2012 FOR A TRANS LEAK, POOR ENGINE/TRANS PERFORMANCE AND REDUCED ECONOMY FROM REFLASHING THE TRANS SEVERAL TIMES AS WELL AS THE SAME CLUNK/BUMP WHEN STARTING AND STOPPING. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE UNKNOWN DEFECT CAUSING CLUNK/BUMP COULD CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE BY LOCKING UP OR FAILING AT SPEED. *TR

ENGINE
MY 2010 FORD F 150 THAT I BOUGHT NEW IN AUGUST OF 2010 HAS STALLED FIVE DIFFERENT TIME OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS. THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT WITH LESS THAN 2000 MILES ON IT. WHILE STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT THE ENGINE JUST DIED. THE OTHER FOUR TIMES WAS WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. WHEN IT STALLS THE ENGINE RPM JUST GOES DOWN SMOOTHLY TO ZERO AND BECOMES VERY HARD TO STEER AND BRAKE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE MAKING A TURN ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHICH IS HOW TWO OF THE STALLS HAPPENED. THE LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON 11/27/2012 WITH ONLY 21,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. I CAME EXTREMELY CLOSE TO HITTING A DUMP TRUNK THAT HAD TO SWERVE NOT TO HIT ME. AFTER I STOP AND PUT IT BACK TO PARK IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP AND RUNS FINE. NO ENGINE LIGHTS AND THE DEALER SAYS THERE ARE NO CODES SET. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TWICE BEFORE WITH NO HELP. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR UPDATED 03/26/14

I HAD STARTED MY TRUCK, TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROSTER , AND WITHIN 10 MINUTES THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE GLASS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. IT APPEARS THAT THERE WAS A SMALL ELECTRICAL FIRE OR SHORTAGE IN THE CORNER OF THE GLASS WHERE THE DEFROSTING MECHANISM ATTACHES TO THE WINDOW GLASS. THE WINDOW SEAL DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE MELTED, BUT AT THE TIME OF GLASS BREAKING , THERE WAS A LOUD BANG (SOMETHING LIKE A FIRE CRACKER EXPLODING). *TR UPDATED 12/04/12*LJ ...UPDATED 03/20/13 *BF

I THOUGHT IT WAS A BLOWN TIRE BUT WHEN I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR I REALIZED THAT THE BACK PANEL IN MY REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. IT WAS TOTALLY SPIDER-WEBED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THE DEFROSTER WAS FUNCTIONING FINE SO THEY WOULDN'T COVER IT. *TR UPDATED 11/30/12 *CN

WHILE BREAKING TO MAKE RIGHT HAND TURN ENGINE STALLED. FIRST INDICATION WAS TRUCK WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. I WAS ABLE TO STOP TRUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. AT A HIGHER SPEED THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. FORD DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH AN INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THOUSANDS OF SUCH INCIDENTS, MANY OF THEM REPORTED TO THIS AGENCY. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND A CAUSE, ALTHOUGH THE MANAGER SAID IT WAS LIKELY THE THROTTLE BODY BUT HE COULD NOT REPLACE A PART UNDER WARRANTY UNLESS IT WAS POSITIVELY KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE. I WAS SENT ON MY WAY TO RISK MY LIFE IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. *TR

VEHICLE ENGINE HAS STOPPED WHILE IN MOTION ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ON 5 OCT 2012 WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 45 MPHS AND ONCE ON 19 OCT 2012 WHILE COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT. WAS UNABLE TO RESTART AT STOP LIGHT FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES. VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM BECAUSE I LOST CONTROL OF ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO STATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG MY MAKE AND YEAR MODEL. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FUEL VAPOR VALVE ASSEMBLY. REMAINS TO BE SEEN AS TO WHETHER THE PROBLEM IS FIXED OR NOT. OF COURSE, THE PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AS I AM PUMPING GAS, THERE IS SIGNIFICANT SEEPAGE. IN SOME CASES, I HAVE TO STOP HALF WAY THROUGH BECAUSE THE SEEPAGE IS SO GREAT. DURING THIS LAST INCIDENT, I TOOK PICTURES OF THE AREA WHERE THE SEEPAGE WAS TRICKLING DOWN AND SHOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND INSISTED THAT IT WAS DUE TO OVERFILLING MY TANK. I TOLD THEM SEEPAGE OCCURRED THROUGHOUT THE FILL UP PROCESS. THIS WAS THEIR SECOND ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. ONE MOMENT I WILL HAVE 90 MILES TO EMPTY THEN WITHIN A FEW MILES, I AM AT 50 MILES TO EMPTY. *TR
