ENGINE
ON DECEMBER 15, 2017, WHILE DRIVING ON I35 IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS, THE F150 AUTONOMOUSLY ACCELERATED TO MAXIMUM RPM AND WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON. WE WERE FORCED TO RIDE THE BREAKS HARD UNTIL WE WERE ABLE TO EXIT THE FREEWAY, PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND BREAK TO A STOP. WE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE STILL WENT TO MAXIMUM RPMS SO WE SHUT DOWN THE VEHICLE AGAIN. FIVE MINUTES LATER WE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE PERFORMED NORMALLY. WE DROVE IT IMMEDIATELY TO OUR LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THE LOCAL AUTO REPAIR CENTER WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE SHOWS NO FAULT CODES. UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET, WE DISCOVERED NO OPEN RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND WE ARE NOT THE ONLY FORD CUSTOMERS TO EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES
SUDDEN COMPLETE BREAK FAILURE. WITHOUT ANY PREVIOUS BREAKING PROBLEM OR INDICATION OF BREAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM THE BREAKING SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS DECELERATING WITH NO PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS A FEW HUNDRED YARDS FROM A RED LIGHT AND ATTEMPTED TO APPLY GENTLE BRAKE PRESSURE, THE BREAK PEDAL GAVE NO RESISTANCE, EASILY PUSHED TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BREAKING CAPACITY WHATSOEVER. THE BREAK TROUBLE LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME INSTANT FAILURE OCCURRED. RELEASING AND REAPPLYING THE BREAKS HAD NO EFFECT, ONLY DUE TO MY EARLY RESPONSE TO THE RED LIGHT ALLOWED ME ENOUGH TIME AND DISTANCE TO USE THE COLUMN SHIFTER TO DOWNSHIFT, THUS DECELERATING WITH THE ENGINE UNTIL REACHING 1ST GEAR. AT WHICH POINT I WAS ABLE TO USE THE PARKING BREAK TO FULLY STOP THE VEHICLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY VEHICLE SIMPLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY, TWICE. AFTER A SMALL COOL DOWN PERIOD, THE VEHICLE STARTED UP AGAIN AND SEEMED FINE TILL A FEW DAYS LATER WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY. ACCORDING TO FORD, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH A FUSE THAT CONTROLS THE FUEL PUMP. IT OVERHEATS AND FAILS CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO STOP WORKING. THEY ALSO HAVE A $20 KIT TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS SO COMMON. WHY THIS IS NOT A RECALL IS BEYOND ME. MY WIFE AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE.

2009 FORD F150 WITH 146,000 MILES NEEDED TO HAVE ENGINE REPLACED DUE TO SCORED CAMS. IT APPEARS THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 5.4 ENGINES. WE ARE ONE-TIME OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE GREAT MAINTENANCE RECORDS. I BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE FOR THIS

FIRST THE RIGHT REAR DOOR SHOWS THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR SO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING FOR ABOUT TEN MILES BEFORE THEY GO OUT AND WHEN YOU STOP THE VEHICLE AND GET OUT THE LIGHTS STAY ON FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES SO IT RUNS THE BATTERY DOWN. SECOND THING IS THE DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE DON'T RETURN TO THE CLOSED POSITION IT STAYS HALF WAY OUT AND A PIECE OF PLASTIC FELL OUT OF DOOR HANDLE I CONTACTED THE FORD COMPANY ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE PROBLEMS. I MYSELF THINK THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE A SAFETY PROBLEM AND VERY AGGRAVATING

ENGINE
AT LESS THAN 63,000 MILES, MY FORD F-150 5.4 LITER ENGINE IS FAILING. I JUST RETURNED FROM THE DEALERSHIP EARLIER TODAY WITH OVER $2800 WORTH OF REPAIR ESTIMATES; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND RATTLED WHEN IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT AND APPEARED TO BE OVERHEATING. VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT, GETS REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE, AND IS DRIVEN MAINLY ON HIGHWAYS. I DO NOT PULL ANYTHING (BOATS, CAMPERS, ETC.). INTERNET FORUMS ARE LOADED WITH COMPLAINS ABOUT THIS ENGINE AND ALL SURROUND THE CAM PHASERS AND LOCAL ENGINE PARTS FAILING. FORD HAS NO RECALL AND WILL DO NOTHING! I HAVE A CASE IN THEIR SYSTEM AS OF THIS EVENING AND WOULD LIKE THE GOVERNMENT TO START ISSUING GUIDANCE TO CONSUMERS AND GET A RECALL PROCESS UNDERWAY. ISSUE WAS FIRST NOTICED WHEN I TRIED TO START THE TRUCK ONE NIGHT IN MID-JUNE. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT IN MID-JULY TO GET THIS DIAGNOSIS.
