SERVICE BRAKES
MY F150 2019 WHEN COMING TO THE STOP BRAKE PEDAL IS GOING DOWN AND WHEN HOLDING THE BRAKE PEDAL AT THE LIGHT IT GOING SLOWLY TO THE FLOOR. OVER ALL THE BRAKE PEDAL IS BEHAVING DIFFERENTLY EACH TIME I USE THE BRAKES ALTHOUGH EACH TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL IS GOING TOWARD THE FLOOR SLOWLY. TAKEN TO FORD DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL. I ALMOST REAR-ENDED SOMEONE SO TODAY I TOOK THE VEHICLE SECOND TIME TO ANOTHER FORD DEALER AND NOW WAITING FOR THE OUTCOME. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE DRIVING SUCH A LARGE VEHICLE WITH THIS TYPE OF BRAKE BEHAVE. TRUCK HAVE ONLY LESS THAN 12000 MILES. *TR

I RECENTLY JUST PURCHASED MY 2019 FORD F150 WITH THE 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION. EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN MAKING THIS CLUNKING SOUND AND JERKS VERY HARD. THESE TRUCKS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE THEM CLUNK AND SHIFT HARD AND JERK. FORD NEEDS TO FIND A SOLUTION TO FIX THESE ISSUES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. IT ALSO LURCHES WHEN ITS DOWNSHIFTING WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

POWER TRAIN, STEERING, WHEELS
HIGH AMPLITUDE VIBRATION AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. MOST NOTICEABLE BETWEEN 50 AND 70MPH. I COMPLAINED ABOUT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DETERMINED THE RING AND PINION GEARS NEEDED REPLACING AT 4200 MILES. VIBRATION PERSISTED, SO I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY TRIED ROADFORCE BALANCING THE WHEELS/TIRES AND CHECKING FOR RUNOUT. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM EITHER. THEN THEY TRIED REPLACING WHEELS AND TIRES ALL TOGETHER, STILL WITH NO SUCCESS. *TR

AIR BAGS, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I JUST BOUGHT MY TRUCK AND HAVE HONKED MY HORN TWO TIMES. BOTH TIMES THE PERFORATED SEAL FOR THE AIRBAG HAS SPLIT OPEN. I GOT IT REPAIRED THE FIRST TIME AND NOW I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET IT REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THIS IS A DEFECT, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO APPLY PRESSURE TO HONK A HORN. ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE PULLS OUT IN FRONT OF YOU AND YOU HAVE TO ABRUPTLY APPLY THE BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME AS HONKING. THIS CREATES A FORWARD FORCE THAT MAKES YOU PRESS HARDER AS WELL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL, AS I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE AIRBAG NOW, IF IT WILL WORK AT ALL, OR IF IT WILL DEPLOY FOR NO REASON AND INJURE ME. BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING, BUT ONLY THE FIRST TIME DID I HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES HARD, THE SECOND TIME WAS A NORMAL HONK WITH LIGHT TO MEDIUM PRESSURE. *TR

BRAND NEW TRUCK EXPERIENCING ROUGH DOWNSHIFTING WHILE APPROACHING NORMAL STOPS. ALSO UPON BEGINNING ACCELERATION, GEARS MAY SEEM TO SLIP AND REV, SIMILAR TO CLUTCH BEING APPLIED AND ENGINE REVVING, THEN CATCHES A GEAR AND LURCHES FORWARD. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AT END OF BACKING UP AND SHIFTING TO DRIVE, FELT AND HEARD A LOUD 'CLUNK' IN REAR DIFFERENTIAL AREA. NEVER HAD A VEHICLE DO ANY OF THIS. CALLED FORD SERVICE AND HE SAID, ' YOU'VE NEVER HAD A 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION, HAVE YOU'. OF COURSE NOT, IT IS NEW TECHNOLOGY. *TR

THERE IS A COVER MADE OF PLASTIC UNDER THE TRANSMISSION THAT IS HELD ON BY 4 SMALL BOLTS WITH BIG WASHERS. DRIVING IN STRONG WINDS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE BACK 2 PLASTIC HOLDERS BROKE. THIS APPROXIMATE 34 INCHES ACROSS PLASTIC IS HANGING DOWN. SEEMS TO ME IT IS GUARDING SOME VITAL PARTS UNDER THERE. SURE WARRANTY WILL REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER PIECE OF PLASTIC WHICH WILL SURELY FAIL IN TIME. THEN IT WILL BE MY EXPENSE. WHEN I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HE KNEW RIGHT AWAY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, AND HAD THEM ON HAND. SHOULD BE MADE OUT OF A THICKER METAL, EVEN ALUMINUM.

THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY THE TRUCK GOES INTO NEUTRAL AND WON'T SHIFT INTO GEAR I HAVE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RE-START THE VEHICLE AND GO AGAIN. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON A BUSY FREEWAY WITH NO SHOULDER.

WHEN PUSHING THE GAS THE VEHICLE WHISTLES AS IF THERE IS A VACUUM LEAK, THEN WHEN SUDDENLY LETTING OFF THE GAS THE VEHICLE MAKES A POPPING NOISE, SIMILAR TO A BACKFIRE BUT MUFFLED, AS IF IT'S COMING BACK THROUGH THE INTAKE, THIS HAPPENS ON ALL ROADS AT ALL TIMES, WARM WEATHER, COLD WEATHER, COLD START AND AFTER A HOT START. IT ALMOST SEEMS THAT THE TRUCK DOESN'T PERFORM AS WELL AS IT USED TO, AND THE LOUDNESS OF THE NOISE HAS ONLY BEEN INCREASING, THIS 2019 FORD F150 HAS ONLY USED 87 UNLEADED FUEL AND IS AT 21K MILES

WHEELS
DEC 20, 2019, HAD A FLAT. PUT ON SPARE; RIM FIT BUT TIRE WAS 17 INCH, INSTEAD OF 20. CALLED SERVICE DEPT OF LUGOFF FORD. "[XXX]" ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE FURTHER OR FASTER THAN ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. TOOK TRUCK IN THE NEXT DAY AND THEY FIXED THE FLAT. SAID NO MANAGER WAS THERE, CALL BACK MONDAY. I CALLED BACK MONDAY AND THE OPERATOR SAID [XXX] WOULD CALL ME BACK. I CALLED EVERY DAY FOR THE NEXT WEEK AND ON JAN 9,2020, HE CALLED ME BACK AND SAID HE WOULD SEE WHAT HE COULD DO AND CALL ME BACK. I WAITED 3 DAYS AND BEGAN CALLING EVERY DAY TO LEAVE A MESSAGE. HE STILL HAS NOT CALLED. IN THE INTERIM, I CALLED "FORD NATIONAL" ON JAN 21, 2020, AND TALKED TO "[XXX]" [XXX] CAIN PUT ME ON HOLD 3 TIMES FOR SEVERAL MINUTES WHILE SHE TALKED TO LUGOFF FORD. FINALLY SHE CAME BACK TO THE PHONE AND SAID THAT AFTER THE FIRST CONVERSATION, LUGOFF FORD KEPT GIVING HER THE WRONG EXTENSION OR DISCONNECTING HER. TO SUMMARIZE, I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD HAVE GIVING ME 5 20 INCH TIRES INSTEAD OF 4 WHEN THEY INSTALLED THE $2000 "APPEARANCE PACKAGE". IF THEY WERE GOING TO GIVE ME A "DOUGHNUT", THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOME SORT OF HIGHLY NOTICABLE DISCLAIMER. THE ONLY WAY I COULD HAVE KNOWN I DID NOT HAVE A REAL SPARE WOULD HAVE BEEN TO CRAWL UNDER THE TRUCK.(EVEN 2 OF THEIR TECHNICIANS AND 1 OF THEIR SALESMEN DID NOT KNOW WHEN I ASKED THEM.) I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD TAKE BACK THE 17 INCH TIRE AND GIVE ME A 20 INCH TIRE INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR *JS
