ENGINE
ENTERING THE INTERSTATE AND VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUTTERE/SHAKE AND COMPLETELY LOST POWER ANY KIND OF POWER TO THE ENGINE. THE ACCELERATIOR WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING. WARNING LIGHT, AN ORANGE WRENCH APPEARED ON THE DASH DISPLAY. VEHICLE WOULD ONLY COAST BUT DID NOT DIE.

VEHICLE DECELERATED REALLY FAST AND IT WAS TERRIFYING WATCHING A VEHICLE APPROACHED ME AND MY CHILD AT INTERSTATE SPEED. NARROWLY ESCAPED DISASTER. VEHICLE SAT ON SIDE OF ROAD FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND POWER RETURNED TO VEHICLE.

AIR BAGS, WHEELS
WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED WITH AN ADULT PASSENGER WHO IS SEATED PROPERLY AND WEARING SEATBELT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT OCCASIONALLY COMES ON AND WILL STAY ON FOR DIFFERENT TIME FRAMES SOMETIMES MINUTES OR AN ENTIRE TRIP BEFORE TURNING ITSELF BACK ON. WE HAVE BROUGHT THE ISSUE TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND ON BOTH OCCASIONS WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY TESTED THE SYSTEM AND THAT IT IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. WE HAVE ALSO HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR WHERE THE TIRE WAS VISIBLY LOW, AND WHEN CHECKED WAS OVER 15 LBS LOW SOMETIMES 20 LBS BUT THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING NEVER CAME ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WITH THE SAME TIRE SENSOR AND EACH TIME WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS PURCHASED THROUGH AND EACH TIME WE HAVE BEEN ASSURED THAT THE SENSORS ARE WORKING PROPERLY. YET I HAVE HAD THE REAR TIRE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BE LOW 5 LBS AND THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS LOW. THE TIRE STATES 44LBS AS THE RECOMMENDATION FOR MAXIMUM INFLATION, THEY ARE THE PROPER TIRES FOR THE VEHICLE, AND 25 PERCENT WOULD BE AT LEAST 11 LBS LOW IS MY UNDERSTANDING. YET WHEN I ASKED IF THERE IS A CERTAIN LOSS OF PRESSURE THAT WE SHOULD BE INFORMED BY WE WERE TOLD NO THAT SOME TIRES MIGHT JUST SENSE IT SOONER THAN OTHER BUT THAT THEY WERE ALL WORKING PROPERLY. WE JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS OUR CONCERNS AS WE HOPE THAT THESE SYSTEMS WILL FUNCTION PROPERLY IF THEY ARE NEEDED IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
STEERING WHEEL SWITCH CONTROLS (CRUISE CONTROL, RADIO, BLUE TOOTH FUNCTIONS) BECOME ERRATIC AND SWITCH FUNCTIONS BECOME JUMBLED (IE. ACTIVATING THE RADIO VOLUME CONTROL SWITCH MAY CHANGE THE RADIO STATION OR INCREASE VEHICLE SPEED). PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, BUT DID OCCUR DURING A DEALER SERVICE VISIT. THE DEALER REPLACED SWITCH PACK, BUT PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I CONDUCTED MY OWN RESEARCH AND FOUND OTHER F150 OWNERS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. SOME HAVE BEEN SOLVED WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING COLUMN CLOCK SPRING. WITH THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF WHEN THIS ISSUE PRESENTS ITSELF I HAVE RESORTED TO NEVER USING THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE DUE TO THE RISK OF UNINTENDED SPEED CHANGES. WHILE THE REMAINING ISSUES ARE INCONVENIENT, I WOULD NOT CLASSIFY THEM AS DANGEROUS. THE CLOCK SPRING ISSUE APPEARS TO BE COMMON ENOUGH TO WARRANT A MORE THOROUGH INVESTIGATION. FOR THOSE USING THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE ARE AT AN INCREASED RISK OF AN INADVERTENT ACTIVATION WHICH MAY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLE DEATH.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AFTER TURNING ON THE REAR DEFROSTER FOR ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. (IF LOOKING FROM BEHIND ITS THE FAR RIGHT OUT OF THE 3 PART WINDOW. ) ITURNED IT ON AND DROVE ON A STRAIGHT ROAD FOR 1/4 TO 1/2 MILE AT APROX 35 MPH. WE HEARD A LOUD POP/BANG AND LOOKED AROUND AND FOUND THE SHATTERED WINDOW. NO PUNCTURE MARK OR HOLE FROM ANY OBJECT HITTING IT. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ACCORDING TO REVIEWS AND NEWS ARTICLES AS THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DEFROSTER OVER HEATING. LUCKILY IT STAYED IN THE WINDOW SO WE DO NOT HAVE GLASS EVERY WHERE BUT IT COULD FLY OUT EVERY WHERE AT ANY SECOND. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A CHILD IN THE BACK.

CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON AND BRAKE IDIOT LIGHT. HAD TOWED TO DEALER. UNABLE TO FIND AN ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER HAVING MY TRUCK FAIL TO START SEVERAL TIMES I DISCOVERED IT WAS A "FUSE 27" ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK. THIS ISSUE IS SO PREVALENT THAT THE FORD DEALER KNEW THE ISSUE BY NAME AS SOON AS I DESCRIBED IT. THE FUSE, LOCATED IN SLOT 27 OF THE MAIN FUSE PANEL WAS SEVERELY BURNED AND CHARRED FROM AN OVERLOAD ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE FUSE TO BURN IN ITS SOCKET INSTEAD OF TRIPPING LIKE A FUSE IS DESIGNED. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, I DISCOVERED THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO FORD (TSB 15-0137) AND HUNDREDS, POSSIBLY THOUSANDS OF FORD F-150 VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD TO THE VEHICLE, OR COULD CAUSE LOSS OF POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. FORD IS CHOOSING TO RELEASE A TSB AND A REPAIR KIT, AND CHARGE CUSTOMERS TO FIX THEIR FAULTY WIRING IN THEIR NEW VEHICLES INSTEAD OF A RECALL OR WARRANTY COVERAGE OF A KNOWN ISSUE THEY ARE NOT FIXING. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND IRRESPONSIBLE ON FORD'S PART. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE OPERATOR CALLED AND INFORMED US THAT THE VEHICLE ACTED LIKE IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. WHEN HE STOMPED DOWN ON THE PEDAL THE VEHICLE WENT FULL ACCELERATION AND STAYED THERE. HITTING THE BRAKES DIDN'T HELP. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON BUT NOT SET. HE TRIED PULLING UP ON THE PEDAL, TURNING OFF CRUISE AND KILLED TRUCK AND RESTARTED TO MAX ACCELERATION, KILLED THE ENGINE, RESTARTED AND IT RESET AND WENT TO WORKING. WE HAVE NO CODES, INSPECTED THROTTLE BODY AND CLEANED, INSPECTED WIRING AND APP OPERATION, OTHER THAN GRAPH SIGNALS WERE CHOPPY AND NOT FAIRLY SMOOTH (NO DIAGNOSIS).
