ENGINE
2009 FORD F150 HAS BEEN SHAKING AT IDLE OR WHEN GOING SLOW WHEN VEHICLE IS NOT IN PARK. IT SHAKES AND JERKS TERRIBLY BAD. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO STALL AT A STOP LIGHT WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN AND I'VE NEARLY BEEN HIT IN THE REAR MULTIPLE TIMES AND THIS IS NOT COUNTING THE ROAD RAGE PEOPLE HAVE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A CAM PHASER. FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD'S 5.4 BUT FORD ISN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I GUESS IF YOU JUST GET RAN INTO AND NOT KILLED FROM SOMETHING THEN IT'S NOT SERIOUS ENOUGH TO OWN UP TO IT AND ISSUE A RECALL? THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND DANGEROUS!! BESIDES NOT HAVING $4K TO FIX IT I'VE ALSO BEEN TOLD THAT IT OFTEN REQUIRES YOU TO GET A NEW ENGINE. IF I DON'T HAVE $4K I DEFINITELY DON'T HAVE $8K FOR A NEW ENGINE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO HELP US PLEASE!!!

POWER TRAIN
I CAME HOME AND NOTICED FLUID ON MY DRIVEWAY AND UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I FOUND IT COMING FROM THE WIRE HARNESS SLEEVE IN THE TRANSMISSION. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY ARE SO BACKED UP WITH THIS ISSUE AND OTHER TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT IT WOULD BE A MONTH BEFORE THEY COULD TAKE MY TRUCK IN. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THEY ARE TRYING TO CHARGE $650 DOLLARS TO FIX IT ( $120 IN PARTS AND MAYBE 1 1/2 HRS WORK).....THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

STEERING
ON OR ABOUT MARCH 23, 2015 STEERING BECAME STIFF. STIFFNESS INCREASED TO THE POINT ON APRIL 1, 2015 THAT IT STARTED TO BIND UPON MAKING RIGHT HAND TURNS. DEALER REPLACED LOWER STEERING SHAFT ON APRIL 3, 2015 AND THE STEERING HAS RETURNED TO NORMAL. I HAVE OWNED 17 DIFFERENT VEHICLES IN MY LIFETIME AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH BINDING STEERING. IF THE STEERING HAD BOUND UP COMPLETELY I COULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. FORD MOTOR SHOULD INITIATE A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR

I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO FORD AND IT HAPPENS WHEN I,M PULLING IN TO PARK OR BACKING UP IN A SPACE TO PARK, THE TRUCKS ENGINE STARTS TO SHAKE AND THAN STALL, WHEN FORD PUT THE THING TO ATTACH UNDER YOUR STEERING WHEEL IT DID NOT SHOW ON THE SCREEN, I HAD A PRIVATE MECH.

THE PROBLEM STARTED EVEN WHEN THE WARRANTY WAS STILL GOOD ON THE TRUCK. *TR

IN APRIL 2014 I NOTICED A VAST AMOUNT OF WATER COLLECTING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT FLOOR. THERE WAS A LEAK COMING FROM THE SUNROOF DOWN THE HEADLINER AND THROUGH THE POST TO THE FLOOR. I INSPECTED THE SUNROOF AND FOUND THE DRIP PAN TO BE WET. I POURED A LITTLE WATER THROUGH THE DRAIN HOSE AND IT DID NOT GO THROUGH. I BROUGHT IT TO FORD FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THAT THE DRAIN HOSE WAS KINKED AND WAS LIKE THAT FROM THE FACTORY. THEY CUT THE DRAIN HOSE TO THE CORRECT LENGTH AND ADJUSTED THE SUNROOF. THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE VEHICLES EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER IT. I PAID OUT OF POCKET $210. FAST FORWARD TO DECEMBER 10, 2014, WHEN I NOTICED WATER COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT ASSIST HANDLE. I WENT TO FORD FOR SERVICE AND MENTIONED THIS TO THE SERVICE TECH AND WAS TOLD THAT EVERYONE WHO HAS A SUNROOF WAS EXPERIENCING THIS DUE TO THE HEAVY RAIN. THIS MORNING DECEMBER 17TH, I NOTICED WATER IN THE SAME AREA COMING FROM THE HANDLE. I CHECKED THE SUNROOF AND DID NOT FIND THE PAN TO BE WET. I CALLED FORD AND ADVISED THEM, AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN DECEMBER 22ND FOR ANOTHER WATER TEST. THEY ALSO ADVISED ME THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, SO I WILL AGAIN HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THIS TRUCK HAS 19,000 MILES ON IT AND IT CAN'T BE DRIVEN IN RAIN. THE SAD PART IS THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AND DOES NOTHING TO FIX THEM. *TR

THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR (SOMETIMES CALLED THE "SUICIDE" DOOR) ON THE FORD F150 EXTENDED CAB TRUCK REFUSED TO OPEN. UPON RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM IT WAS FOUND TO BE AN ONGOING FORD PROBLEM SINCE THE 1990'S. THE CHILD SEATS IN THE BACK WOULD HAVE BEEN INACCESSIBLE IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. FROM THE RESEARCH IT APPEARS THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OF THESE TRUCKS AFFECTED. THANK YOU *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
AFTER ACCELERATING TO PASS ON THE HIGHWAY (65 MPH TO 70 MPH), THE TRUCK REMAINED GOING 70 MPH WHEN ACCELERATOR RELEASED. VEHICLE COULD BE SLOWED WITH DIFFICULTY BY APPLYING BRAKES, BUT WOULD RESUME SPEED WHEN BRAKES RELEASED. FORTUNATELY, TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT. CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT BEING USED AT TIME OF INCIDENT. ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE ISSUE FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 MILES/MINUTES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (DETERMINED ACCELERATOR NOT STUCK ON FLOOR MAT, ENGAGED AND DISENGAGED CRUISE CONTROL, BRAKED REPEATEDLY WHILE MAKING SURE I WAS ALSO NOT HITTING THE ACCELERATOR). EVENTUALLY SLOWED VEHICLE TO APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH WITH EXTREME BRAKING ON AN UPHILL INCLINE, AT WHICH POINT VEHICLE WOULD NOT SLOW ANY FURTHER. TOOK TRUCK OUT OF GEAR AND SHUT OFF ENGINE (VEHICLE STOPPED). HAD TOWED TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF FORD DEALER WHO "COULD NOT REPRODUCE PROBLEM" BUT REPLACED ELECTRIC THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AND CLEARED/REPROGRAMMED COMPUTER. WHEN ASKED IF INCIDENTS SUCH AS THESE ARE REPORTED TO FORD FOR THEIR DATABASE, THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID NO, THAT THEY HAD NO MEANS TO DO SO. *TR
