STRUCTURE:BODY
MY DOOR LATCH AND STRIKER ARE IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. THE DOOR RATTLES GOING DOWN THE ROAD. THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS. MY CONCERN IS IT SEEMS TO BE SIMILAR TO THE PROBLEM WITH MY FORD FUSION. THE DEALERSHIP IN REQUESTING $535 TO REPAIR. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL. DRIVERS DOOR

SERVICE BRAKES
OVER THE COURSE OF TWO DAYS THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTED GETTING SPONGY AND RAPIDLY PROGRESSED TO "GOING TO THE FLOOR". AT THIS POINT NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE, THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF LEAKAGE AND THE RESERVOIR LEVEL LOOKS OK.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH STEERING BECAME STIFF AND AFTER TAKING A TURN WOULD NOT RETURN TO CENTER POSITION. VEHICLE HAS 37,000 MILES. IM SEEING THAT THIS IS A COMMON RECALL ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRONIC POWER ASSIST STEERING GEARS BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THIS POSES A SEVERE RISK TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY AND THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO COVER OTHER VEHICLES. IMO

AIR BAGS
THIS PICKUP TRUCK, OWNED AND OPERATED BY A PUBLIC UTILITY, WAS INVOLVED IN A LOW SPEED FRONT END COLLISION ON A CITY STREET. THE INCIDENT INVOLVED THE FRONT BUMPER OF THE F-150 MAKING ABRUPT CONTACT WITH THE REAR BUMPER AND TAILGATE OF A NISSAN FRONTIER PICKUP. THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE DRIVER OF EITHER VEHICLE AND NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED INITIALLY. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE COLLISION, THE TRUCK WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE IGNITION WAS SWITCHED OFF, AND THE 4-WAY FLASHERS WERE TURNED ON. THE KEYS WERE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION AND THE DRIVER EXITED THE VEHICLE TO EXCHANGE INFORMATION WITH THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE. WHILE THE DRIVERS WERE EXCHANGING INFORMATION, APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES AFTER THE COLLISION, THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. WITHIN A MINUTE OR TWO AFTER THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, THE INTERIOR OF THE TRUCK ERUPTED IN FLAMES, WHICH WERE REPORTED TO HAVE STARTED IN THE AREA BEHIND THE FRONT SEAT CONSOLE. THE INSIDE OF THE CAB WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES, AND THE FIRE SPREAD TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND BED. THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED QUICKLY, BUT THE TRUCK SUFFERED SEVERE FIRE DAMAGE.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2014 FORD F-150 LOOSES POWER AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED IN JUNE OF 2016 BECAUSE OF SAME PROBLEM. CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SAID I'M OUT OF WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY SERVICE REPAIRS. I DO A LOT OF TRAVELING WITH A TRAILER AND IT QUIT DANGEROUS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TRYING TO FINE A SPOT TO PULL OVER. I WAS IN THE FORT PITT TWO MILE TUNNEL IN PITTSBURGH WHEN THIS HAPPENED LAST WEEK. SCREECHING TIRES AND HORNS BLOWING I LIMPED IT OUT OF THE TUNNEL. WHERE I FOUND A PLACE TO PULL OVER. WHAT CAN I DO? FRUSTRATED FORD CUSTOMER.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
PLEASE SEE A PORTION OF MY JUN16 MESSAGE THAT I SENT TO FORD CONCERNING A ?DOOR LOCK? PROBLEM WITH BOTH TRUCKS THAT I OWN. BOTH TRUCKS NOW HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVERS-SIDE READ DOORS. THE JU16 RESPONSE I RECEIVED FROM FORD WAS ESSENTIALLY THAT ?WE DON?T HAVE A RECALL NOTICE IN PLACE YET?. I FIND THAT RESPONSE LACKING A PROPER LEVEL OF CONCERN. I ENDED UP REPAIRING BOTH PROBLEMS AT MY OWN EXPENSE. ========================= JUN15 MESSAGE TO FORD: MY 2013 FORD F150 LARIAT (VIN [XXX]) HAS A REAR RIGHT DOOR THAT WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OR THE INSIDE. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT SIX WEEKS AGO (I.E; MID-APRIL 2016). MY 2014 FORD F150 LIMITED (VIN [XXX]) NOW HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME DOOR (THIS STARTED ABOUT MID-MAY 2016). MY WIFE HAD A PASSENGER IN HER LARIAT (THE MID-APRIL 2016 POINT WHERE THE PROBLEM STARTED) AND THE PASSENGER COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE TRUCK. IT WAS ONLY UNTIL MY WIFE UNLOADED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MATERIAL FROM THE REAR-LEFT SEAT THAT THE PASSENGER WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE TRUCK. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM. REGARDLESS, I WAS ABLE TO FIND A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OPEN SOURCE INFORMATION THAT DESCRIBED THIS SYSTEMIC PROBLEM (WHICH OCCURS NOT ONLY ON F150 TRUCKS), THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM (BAD WIRING WORKMANSHIP) AND THE CORRECTIVE ACTION (REWORK THE WIRING). WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DOOR LATCH ISSUES? IT APPEARS TO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT PERSONAL INJURY. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
VEHICLE IS A 2014 FORD F-150 SUPERCREW 4X4, EQUIPPED WITH THE 3.5L ECOBOOST V6, AND 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE SUFFERED A COMPLETE FAILURE OF BRAKING SYSTEM. PARKED AT A STORE, WHEN WE WENT TO LEAVE, THE BRAKES FELT SOFT, TRIED TO STOP IN THE PARKING LOT AND HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL. SHUT OF AND INSPECTED VEHICLE AND FOUND THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER TO BE EMPTY, CHECKED ALL AROUND AND UNDER VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO VISIBLE LEAKS, THEN PULLED THE VACUUM LINE FROM THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND IT WAS FULL OF BRAKE FLUID. RESTARTED VEHICLE, HELD BRAKE PEDAL TO FLOOR AND SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, IT WAS ABLE TO MOVE WITH ABSOLUTELY NO RESISTANCE, I HAD TO USE THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE MOVEMENT. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TWO MILES TO LOCAL FORD DEALER.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I PREVIOUSLY FILES A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. AFTER DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIRS BEING DONE, IT TURNS OUT THAT IT IS THE LEAD FRAME THAT HAS GONE BAD. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE RECALL OF THE 2011-2012 F150'S NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 16V248000 AND FORD RECALL CAMPAIGN# 16S19. OUR VEHICLE HAS THE SAME TRANSMISSION 6R80 AND WAS BUILT IN THE DEARBORN MICHIGAN PLANT. OUR VEHICLE WAS UNFORTUNATELY OUT OF WARRANTY BY 400 MILES ON THIS ISSUE SO WE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THIS YEAR VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FROM 2016 AND I HAVE DONE ENOUGH RESEARCH TO SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ALL OVER THE INTERNET COMPLAINING OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUE IN THE 2014 F150'S. MAYBE FORD SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THE 2014'S FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT!!! THIS ISSUE CAUSED OUR VEHICLE AT 55 MPH TO COME TO A SKIDDING HALT ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY!! WE COULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT!!

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ALMOST HAD SEVERAL ACCIDENTS DUE TO A DOWNSHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX 55 MPH. THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR, REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP AND I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET IT OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I SEE ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO MANY FORD F150'S. SAW A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME THING BUT IT ONLY APPLIED TO 2011 AND 2012 FORD F150'S. ALL OWNERS FELT THAT THEIR YEAR VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN RECALL. I FEEL THAT THE 2014 SHOULD DEFINITELY BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MY 2014 IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE 2011 AND 2012'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR. I ONLY HAVE 60K HIGHWAY MILES ON THIS TRUCK!! BELOW YOU ASK FOR DATES OF THIS HAPPENING. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS IGNORED THIS. I WILL POST THE MOST RECENT DATE THAT IT HAPPENED.

THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST STOPPED WORKING. 3 FORD DEALERSHIPS INDICATED THIS IS WIDESPREAD WITH THIS VEHICLE. WITH SNOW STICKING TO THE WINDOW, VISIBILITY FOR REVERSING TO AVOID OTHER VEHICLES, OBSTACLES AND PEDESTRIANS IS GREATLY REDUCED.

WHEELS
OWN A 2014 F-150 SINCE KNEW 63000 MILES ON IT NOW PUT NEW TIRES ON IT AT 50100 MILES IN FEBRUARY OF 2017 A THOUSAND MILES INTO THE NEW TIRES BEGAN TO HEAR A HOWLING NOSE FROM WHAT SEEMED TO BE THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE. THE HOWLING NOSE WAS MOSTLY HEARD WHILE IN COLD WEATHER AND IN MOTION. TOOK IT BACK TO THE TIRE GUY WHO PULLED EVERYTHING FOR THE INSPECTION AND FOUND NOTHING AND REFERRED ME BACK TO FORD. TOOK IT TO FORD WHO INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS UNFORTUNATELY A SOMEWHAT COMMON ACCURANCE ON THESE F-150 THE PROBLEM (IWE INTEGRATED WHEEL END) IT SEEMS A RUBBER BOOT OF SORTS DOESN'T CONTRACT OR INFLATE AS IT SHOULD CAUSING GRINDING OF THE GEARS IN THE WHEEL HUB WHICH COULD RESULT IN WHEELS FALLING OFF TILTING OR BEING DISENGAGED FROM THE HUB CAUSING WHAT COULD BE A GREAT DEAL OF HARM. IF THE SERVICE AGENT HADN'T TOLD ME THAT THIS WASN'T A COMMON PROBLEM I WOULDN'T BE WRITING TO YOU, IF HE HADN'T TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS ONLY COVERED UNDER WARRANTY UP TO 60K MILES WHEN I REPORTED THIS TO HIM AT 59900 AND DROVE THE EXTRA MILES JUST TO GET TO HIM WHEN I COULD HAVE GONE TO A FORD DEALER CLOSER AND STAYED UNDER THE 60K AND BEEN COVERED, STILL THERE SEEMS TO A PROBLEM HERE CONCERNING THIS WHEEL PART THAT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO PEOPLE AND PROPERTY.
