VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE I WAS IN MOTION DRIVING TO WORK ON A COLD MORNING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, (7AM @ 5MPH) MY REAR WINDOW COMPLETELY SHATTERED ON ONE OF THE THREE PIECES THAT MAKE OP THE REAR WINDOW. IT HAS THE HEATING ELEMENT INTEGRATED WITHIN THE WINDOW AND I SUSPECT THIS DAMAGE WAS DUE TO A RAPID TEMPERATURE CHANGE. NO ONE WAS AROUND THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT EXCEPT FOR MYSELF.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC AND HILL DESCENT CONTROL FAULT COME UP ON MY DASHBOARD AND MY POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK. WHILE MOST VEHICLES CAN BE DRIVEN WITHOUT POWER STEERING BUT THIS TRUCK IS NOT DRIVABLE WITHOUT THAT FEATURE. THE LIGHTS AND BLINKERS DO NOT WORK. THESE FAULTS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND CRASHED. I'M LUCKY I DIDN'T HIT AND KILL SOMEBODY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR WHICH AFFORD ALREADY KNOWS ABOUT BUT REFUSES TO FIX OUR TRUCK.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY USING CRUISE CONTROL, I NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN FOR AN EXIT. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT RELEASE AND I HAD TO APPLY QUITE A BIT OF BRAKE PRESSURE TO SLOW DOWN. I ALSO HIT THE OFF BUTTON FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL WHICH DID NOT DEACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN I BRAKED, THE SPEED WAS DECREASED BUT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS STILL ON AT THE REDUCED SPEED. I KEPT HITTING THE OFF BUTTON, BUT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS STILL IN OPERATION. AFTER DOING THIS FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES, THE CRUISE CONTROL FINALLY DEACTIVATED. I USED THE CRUISE CONTROL LATER ON THIS TRIP TO TEST IT AND IT WORKED AS IT SHOULD. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 3/6/19 AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CHECK IT FOR A CHARGE AND WOULD FIX IT FOR AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE; THAT CHARGE DEPENDING ON WHETHER IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES AND THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 20,000 MILES. I TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. HE REPLIED THAT A BALD TIRE WAS A SAFETY ISSUE ALSO, MAKING THE POINT THAT THEY DID NOT INTEND TO TREAT THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE WHERE A REPAIR WOULD BE DONE WITH NO CHARGE. HE PROFESSED IGNORANCE OF ANY VEHICLES HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT DEACTIVATING. I SHOWED HIM AN ARTICLE ON THE INTERNET WHERE FIAT CHRYSLER HAD SEVERAL MILLION VEHICLES RECALLED WITH THIS PROBLEM. HE STILL SAID HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM, BUT IF IT DID IT AGAIN, TO BRING IT BACK.

STEERING
THE POWER STEERING FAILS WITHOUT WARNING. AT TIMES IT REQUIRES 'MUSCLING' THE STEERING TO TURN OR STRAIGHTEN THE WHEELS AFTER A TURN. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAY AND TURNING. THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER FORD F-150 TRUCK OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS REPORTED ON DIFFERENT SITES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AS IT CAUSES THE DRIVER TO POTENTIALLY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE B/C IT'S UNPREDICTABLE. IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE 'FIXED' IF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT EVEN KNOWS WHAT TO DO OR THE REPAIR FAILS! THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM BUT ONLY IN A VERY LIMITED DATE RANGE. ALSO THE POWER STEERING SEEMS TO BE FAILING ON OTHER FORD VEHICLES, AS EVEN REPORTED TO NHTSA. IMAGINE LOSING STEERING WHILE TRAVELING ON I-80 (ESP IN PA) OR NEGOTIATING A TURN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE!!!!

STEERING
POWER STEERING IS ONLY WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE MODEL YEAR, BUT MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED. I SEE SEVERAL ONLINE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FROM OTHER OWNERS THAT WEREN'T IN THE RECALL. I LIVE IN A MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN WITH WINDY ROADS AND IF THE POWER STEERING QUITS WHEN ZI DON'T EXPECT IT, I WILL VEER OFF THE ROAD AND HAVE TO JERK IT BACK ON.
