I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT THEY COULDN'T ROTATE MY TIRES BECAUSE I HAVE SWOLLEN LUGS WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD VEHICLES BETWEEN 2005 AND 2015. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD NEED TO BUY NEW ONES AND THAT IF I HAD A FLAT TIRE THE JACK THAT COMES WITH THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REMOVE THESE LUGS.

ENGINE
FORD'S 5.4L 3 VALVE ENGINES INSTALLED IN THEIR 2004-2010 TRUCKS HAVE, UNFORTUNATELY, ESTABLISHED A REPUTATION FOR PREMATURE FAILURE. OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLE'S REPORT HEARING A TICKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE ACCOMPANIED BY A LOSS OF POWER AND OFTEN A "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT. RESEARCH HAS REVEALED THAT THE CAUSE OF THESE ISSUES IS USUALLY ATTRIBUTED TO A FAILURE OF THE CAM PHASERS AND EXCESSIVE OIL CLEARANCE IN THE CAM JOURNALS. MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF MID DRIVE AND HAS HAD ALL ISSUES DESCRIBED ABOVE. IT STARTED WITH THE TICKING NOISE FIRST THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEXT AND THEN MAJOR LOSS OF POWER. THAT WENT ON FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS BEFORE THE FIRST TIME IT SHUT OFF MID DRIVE.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE DAY I WENT TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEN THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT HAS CAUSED THE RADIO NOT TO WORK. THAT THEY WILL FIX IT NEXT DAY. I BASICALLY GOT THE RUN AROUND HAD THERE MECHANIC LOOK AT IT HE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. I INFORMED THEM THAT THERE IS MORE THEN JUST THE RADIO THE AIR BAG SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK OR SHOW THAT IT WORKS. ALSO POINTED OUT THAT CHUNKS OF METAL WAS FALLING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THIS EVERY TIME I SHUT THE DOOR. STILL NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THEY USED RUSTOLEUM BED LINER TO COVER EVERY INCH UNDER THE TRUCK. IT IS LITERALLY FALLING TO PIECES. 3 WEEKS GO BY AFTER SENDING NUMEROUS EMAILS ON UPDATE WHEN THIS WILL GET FIX AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THE CO SIGNER LEFT A BAD REVIEW. I HAVE NO WORKING AIR BAGS. AND I'M PAYING 15 THOUSAND FOR THIS TRUCK.

THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES FOR THE DOOR HANDLE. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 11S15. THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BREAKS UNDER NORMAL USE AND DOES NOT SPRING BACK INTO POSITION. THIS CAN CAUSE A PROBLEM IN AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER AND FORD SAY MY VIN IS NOT IN THE RECALL, BUT MY TRUCK IS THE SAME YEAR. MY TRUCK WAS STATIONARY. THE REAR DOOR HANDLE BROKE WHERE MY SON SITS IN THE BACK.

POWER TRAIN
DRIVING MY 2010 FORD F150 AND IT DOWNSHIFT DRIVING AT AROUND 35 TO 40 ON A CITY STREET. I STOPPED AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF. UPON TURNING IT BACK ON I HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL AND THE WRENCH LIGHT THAT PUT THE TRUCK IN SAFE MODE. ALSO THE MILEAGE WOULD FLASH ---- INSTEAD OF NUMBERS. I TOOK IT TO MIDWEST SUPERSTORE IN HUTCHINSON, KS AND THEY FOUND CODES P0720 & P0722 WHICH LEAD TO THE DIAGNOSIS BEING THE LEAD FRAME NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE LEADFRAME AND VALUE BODY ARE ONE PIECE AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACE TOGETHER. I FOUND THAT 2011-2013 FORD F150 HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND A RECALL 19S07 FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND INFORMED THEM THAT MY TRUCK IS DOING THE SAME EXACT THING AND THEY WILL NOT HELP DUE TO NO RECALL FOR THIS YEAR. CASE NUMBER [XXX]. THIS IS NOT HANDLED TO MY SATISFACTION AND IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE TRUCK WHEN STOPPING HAS WHAT IS CALLED A SLIP BUMP STOP. UPON TAKING OFF IF NOT FULLY STOPPED (LIGHT CHANGES) THE TRUCK DOESN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR TO GO INTO. WHEN IT DOES THIS, THE TRANSMISSION FORCES IT INTO A GEAR. WHEN IT DOES THIS, IT CHIRPS THE TIRES AND SLAMS THE TRANSMISSION HARD ALMOST LIKE A TRANSMISSION MOUNT IS BAD. MOUNTS ARE STILL GOOD. HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACED WHICH WAS RECOMMENDED BY MECHANIC AND SAID IT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT DID NOT. $160 WASTED. IT DOES NOT DO IT ALL THE TIME BUT AFTER THE TRUCK WARMS UP. THE SLIP BUMP STOP WHICH JERKS THE TRUCK FORWARD WHEN STOPPING ONLY HAPPENS WHILE IN GEAR. HOWEVER CAN PUT IN NEUTRAL AND STOP WITH NO PROBLEM. I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THE FULL CAUSE IS. EVERY MECHANIC HAS A DIFFERENT OPINION BUT THAT GETS VERY COSTLY. THE SLIP BUMP STOP HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH FORD FOR MANY YEARS AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED. I KNOW THIS TRUCK IS USED AND HAS HIGH MILES SO I CAN'T GET IT FIXED BUT IT SHOULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN FOR FORD AS THE TRUCKS LUNGE FORWARD WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP. *TR

WHEELS
LUCKILY I WAS NOT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT HAVING WORKED FOR FORD THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND HAS NOW HAPPENED TO BOTH OF MY FORD TRUCKS. FORD MAKES LUG NUTS WITH ALUMINUM CASINGS THAT AFTER 1-5 USES BECOME SWOLLEN AND MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE LUG NUTS FROM VEHICLE ESPECIALLY IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHICH COULD RESULT IN SOMEONE TAKING MORE TIME THAN NEEDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD STRUGGLING TO BREAK SAID LUG NUTS LOOSE AND WILL RESULT IN SOMEONE BEING STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE.. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR 10 + YEARS. I HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS REPLACING THESE LUG NUTS. MULTIPLE OF WHICH HAD TO BE CUT OFF BY MECHANICS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING!!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SMELLED GASOLINE ODOR INSIDE VEHICLE AFTER CRANKING ON A COLD DAY. I DROVE IT FOR SEVERAL MILES. I PARKED IT. I WAS IN BUILDING FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. WHEN I CAME OUT, I SMELLED GAS OUTSIDE VEHICLE. AFTER LEAVING I THEN TOOK VEHICLE TO CROSSROADS FORD QUICKLANE IN CARY NC. THEY FOUND THE PLASTIC FUEL LINE HAD SPLIT LENGHTWISE ON TOP OF FUEL TANK. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS SPRAYING GAS. PART WAS APPARANTLY DEFECTIVE. I AM SURE IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR FIRE OR EXPLOSION BECAUSE OF BEING NOT FAR FROM EXHAUST PIPE. PART REPLACED WAS 9L3Z-9S278-B. I AM WONDERING IF THERE HAVE BEEN UNEXPLAINED FIRES OR EXPLOSIONS BECAUSE OF THIS. REPAIR COST WAS $569.89

ENGINE
ON MY TRUCK THE PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAS RUSTED AND THE REAR BOLTS HAVE RUSTED OFF. THIS HAS CAUSED THE MANIFOLD TO LEAK RIGHT AT THE EXHAUST PORT. THIS LEAK FILLS THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE WITH EXHAUST FUMES. IT IS ALSO LEAKING PRE-CATALYST EXHAUST. THE FUELS IN THE CAB ARE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND WELL AS AN EMISSIONS ISSUE. RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON FORD TRUCKS OF THIS ERA. TALKING TO FORD ABOUT THIS THEY OFFER A VERY SMALL DISCOUNT ON THE SERVICE IF I HAVE IT DONE AT THE DEALER. I HAVE HAD TRUCKS FOR YEARS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS BEFORE. MY TRUCK IS A 2010 FORD F150 WITH 106,000 MILES ON IT.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WEATHER WAS 28 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. LEAVING WORK I TURNED ON MY REAR GLASS DEFROST AND ON MY 20 COMMUTE TO MY HOME ABOUT 1 MILE FROM MY HOUSE AT AROUND 4:20 AM CENTRAL STANDARD TIME MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE BACK GLASS SHATTERED. ALL I HEARD WAS A LOUD IMPACT SOUND LIKE SOMETHING HITTING MY ROOF AND WHEN I PULLED UP TO MY HOUSE AND FURTHER INSPECTED MY VEHICLE THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED MY REAR GLASS HAD SHATTERED AND WAS STILL CRACKING. I LOOKED FOR AN IMPACT MARK BUT FOUND NOTHING. BED OF TRUCK WAS EMPTY SO ONLY CONCLUSION IS THAT THE REAR DEFROST MAY HAVE GOT TO HOT WITH COLD GLASS BUT I REALLY DO NOT KNOW.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SEVERAL TIMES MY FORD F150 WILL SUDDENLY NOT START AND HAS LEFT ME STRANDED NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. ONE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP SO I REPLACED THAT. HOWEVER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. UPON RESEARCHING THE INTERNET, I DISCOVERED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. I TOOK THE REAR DEFROSTING RELAY AND PLACED IT IN FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AND THE TRUCK STARTED. HOWEVER, SEVERAL DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IN ORDER TO MOVE MY VEHICLE, I HAVE USED SEVERAL DIFFERENT RELAYS TO GET THE TRUCK TO START AND IT'S WORKED UP UNTIL YESTERDAY. I'VE BOUGHT NEW ONES AND IT STILL WOULDN'T WORK. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, I DECIDED TO CHECK THE FUEL PUMP FUSE AND IT WAS MELTED TO THE FUSE BOX. THIS MADE ME LOOK UP RECALLS AND TSB NO. 15-0137 SEEMS TO BE APPLICABLE. HOWEVER, WHEN I SEARCH MY VIN, MY VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED UNDER THE RECALL. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE.

DASH LIGHTS GO OUT WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING, ALSO ALL GAUGES ON DASH GO TO 0 (LIKE WHEN THE TRUCK IS SHUT OFF) AND THE A/C COMPRESSOR AND BLINKERS STOPS WORKING, THE FAN CONTINUES WORKING. THE ENGINE,BREAKS, HEADLIGHTS CONTINUE TO WORK. SOMETIMES IF YOU HIT THE DASH WITH YOUR FIST EVERYTHING WILL RETURN TO WORKING CONDITION. GOOD LUCK FIGURING THIS OUT BECAUSE FORD DEALERSHIP CAN'T.
