F-150 WILL SOMETIMES ROLL WHEN PARKED ON AN INCLINE. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, AND THE F-150 WILL NOT ALWAYS ROLL. SO FAR, THE F-150 WILL ONLY ROLL BETWEEN 6' TO 24'.

BACK SINCE 2018-2019 IVE HAD A REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH MY DOOR LATCHES FREEZING, SPECIFICALLY THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR. I'M VERY, VERY CONCERNED THAT IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET MY KIDS OUT OF THE TRUCK. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OF DRIVING THE LATCH UNFREEZES AND I'M ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THERE IS NO LONGER A TSB ON THE TRUCK BECAUSE THE ISSUE WAS "FIXED" LAST YEAR (NOV OF 2019). IN FACT THE ISSUE IS NOT FIXED AND MY DOORS FROZE THIS MORNING ON THE WAY TO DROPPING MY KIDS OFF AT SCHOOL. THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO HELP WITHOUT OUT ME INCURRING OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES (AND RIGHTFULLY SO BECAUSE THIS IS A FORD ISSUE). FORD HAS ALSO NOT STOOD BEHIND ITS VISTA ROOF OPTION (NOT AS BIG OF A SAFETY ISSUE BUT NONETHELESS). THE ROOF GET STUCK AND BANGS OUT OF POSITION LIKE ITS GOING TO BREAK WHILE DRIVING. FORD HAS ONLY "GREASED" THE TRACKS WITHOUT ADDRESS THE REAL ISSUES. I'M DISAPPOINTED IN FORDS LACK OF ATTENTION OR PROACTIVENESS ON THIS DOOR LATCH ISSUES. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED IF THEY CANT EXIT A VEHICLE BECAUSE THEIR LATCH IS FROZEN AND FORD KNOWS ABOUT IT.

I WAS DRIVING OUT OF A GAS STATION AND THE AUTO STOP START WARNING CAME ON AS I WAS ACCELERATING AND LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST AWAY FROM TRAFFIC. I HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THIS ISSUE AS I PUT WELL OVER 400 MILES A WEEK ON MY TRUCK AND THIS WAS THE FIRST ACURRANCE.

10 SPEED TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD INTO REVERSE (LOUD 'THUNK' HEARD ALONG WITH A JARRING MOTION FELT INSIDE THE CAB). MAJORITY OF THE TIME THIS HAPPENS SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED (I LET THE ENGINE 'IDLE DOWN' BEFORE SHIFTING INTO GEAR). FORD OF CANADA REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION A NUMBER OF TIMES, AND THAT SEEMS TO SOLVE THE REVERSING ISSUE TEMPORARILY. NOW LIVE IN THE USA, AND IN ADDITION TO THE REVERSE ISSUES THE VEHICLE WILL 'JERK' OR 'STALL' WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN 3-4-5-6 GEARS SHORTLY AFTER STARTED. UNFORTUNATELY NEITHER OF THESE ARE AN 'EVERY TIME' OCCURRENCE, AND HAVE HAPPENED IN BOTH COLD AND HOT AMBIENT TEMPERATURES. TO FORD CANADA'S CREDIT THEY DID ATTEMPT TO SOLVE THE ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES...WE'LL SEE HOW FORD USA DEALS WITH THE SITUATION.

AT <30,000 MILES THE ENGINE WOULD MAKE A 'DIESEL' LIKE RATTLE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS ON A COLD START. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO MY FORD CANADA DEALER AND THEY IMMEDIATELY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A CAM PHASER PROBLEM AND ORDERED THE PARTS/REPLACED THE CAM PHASERS UNDER WARRANTY. I NOW LIVE IN THE USA, AND AM HOPEFUL THAT THE PROBLEM IS PERMANENTLY RESOLVED VS HAVING A COSTLY REPAIR AT A LATER DATE OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. I HAVE FOLLOWED ALL THE MANUFACTURER MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS AND PRE-PAID FOR 5 YEARS OF SERVICE.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE TRANSMISSION HAS COME OUT OF GEAR BETWEEN SHIFTS AND REMAINED OUT OF GEAR FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. THE MOST NOTABLE SCENARIO IS WHEN PULLING A 7500 POUND LOAD WHILE DESCENDING DOWN A MOUNTAIN. THIS HAS RESULTED IN LOSS OF BRAKING POWER AND OVERALL CONTROL OF THE TRUCK AND TRAILER. THIS HAS CREATED AN UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY WHILE HAULING OUR TRAVEL TRAILER. THE 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION IS NOTORIOUS FOR SUCH BEHAVIOR AND FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS. I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AT BRINGING IT IN FOR SERVICE AT MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS. THERE IS NO KNOWN FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM.

STEERING
MY 2018 F150 BEGAN HAVING STEERING ASSIST FAILURE AT APPROX 50,000 MILES. THERE HAVE BEEN TWO OCASSIONS WHERE WHILE DRIVING STEERING ASSIST GOES OUT AND THE STEERING WHEEL GETS STIFF ALMOST CAUSING ME TO COLLIDE WITH OTHER VEHICLES. I CONTACTED FORD ABOUT THE ISSUE AND AS THEY ARE AWARE THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION AT MY EXPENSE.AT 63,000 MILES MY PICK UP HAS NO POWER STEERING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FRONT USB PORTS OFTEN DISCONNECT INTERMITTENTENTLY CAUSING LOSS OF PHONE CHARGING AND ANDROID AUTO TO DISCONNECT. THIS CAUSES LOSS OF NAVIGATION AND MUCH FUMBLING WITH PHONE AND USB CABLE TO TRY AND RECONNECT WHILE DRIVING, RESULTING IN DRIVER DISTRACTION. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND ON HIGHWAYS.
