2012 FORD F-150 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MILES PER HOUR, THE SUNROOF ON MY TRUCK EXPLODED. NO SOUNDS OF ANYTHING STRIKING THE WINDOW WERE HEARD, JUST A LOUD POP WHEN IT GAVE WAY.

THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BLINKERS WILL NOT FUNCTION.

ALREADY HAD TIMING BELT REPLACED AT 84,000 MILES. NOW AT 85,600 MILES I WAS ON RAMP MERGING ONTO HWY. WHEN A BLINKING ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, LOSS OF POWER, AND TRUCK SHOOK LIKE CRAZY. I FELT LIKE IT WAS A POLTERGEIST. TOOK NEXT EXIT OFF AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF AND TRUCK ACTED NORMALLY AGAIN. DAMP CONDITIONS. NOT LIKING ALL THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ AND CERTAINLY NOT LIKING THE SPORATIC UNKNOWN. I THINK I'LL BE TRADING THIS $50,000 LARIAT IN FOR SOMETHING ELSE. FORD NEEDS TO REACT, THAT WAS A SCARY SITUATION ON THE FREEWAY WITH TRUCKS BEARING DOWN ON ME.

2012 FORD F-150. MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES...VEHICLE IN MOTION AND THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS TO 1 GEAR ON ITS ON. IT STICKS FOR 10-20 SECONDS BEFORE IT RELEASES AND THEN YOU CAN ACCELERATE AGAIN.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, THIS COMPLIANT IS FORWARDED TO YOU IN DUE TIME. TOO MANY TIMES WHEN DRIVING BACK FROM MY FAMILIES HOME IN PA, I ENCOUNTER DANGEROUS CONDITIONS ON THE ROAD WITH REGARD TO LARGE DUMP TRUCKS THAT CARRY STONE. THIS MORNING IT HAPPENED AGAIN, WHEN I PASSED A SAID TRUCK, ROCKS CAME OUT OF THE TOP OF THE BED, HITTING MY HOOD AND WINDSHIELD IN SEVERAL AREAS. IT GOES WITHOUT SAY HOW DANGEROUS THIS MATTER CAN BECOME. THE SITUATION IS EVEN WORST, IF YOUR PASSING WHEN THE ROAD IN BUMPY. I TRAVEL EAST FROM PA, ROUTE 15, ROUTE 206, ROUTE 80, ROUTE 46 AND ROUTE 3. I HAD TO REPLACE WINDSHIELDS BEFORE, BECAUSE OF ROCKS FLYING OFF OF DUMP TRUCKS. PLEASE LOOK INTO TO THIS MATTER, BEFORE THIS ISSUE CAUSES MORE ACCIDENTS. THERE MUST BE REGULATIONS, THAT CAN BE MORE STRICTLY ENFORCED. THANK, YOU [XXX] *DL INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR SLOW ROLL, THE TRUCK WILL JERK HARD FEELING LIKE THE IT IS COMING FROM THE DRIVESHAFT. THERE IS NO COMMON CAUSE FOR THIS ISSUE SUCH AS GOING OVER A BUMP, ETC. BROUGHT TRUCK TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS "LEAF SPRING SLAP" WHICH IT IS CLEAR UNDER THE TRUCK THAT THERE IS DEEP GROOVES ON THE DRIVE SHAFT, YOKE AREA. FORD DENIES THIS IS THE ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS 80% OF THE TIME THAT I ACCELERATE EITHER FROM A STOP OR SLOW MOVEMENT.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY ON 3/19/17 AND THE TRUCK STARTING JERKING THEN THE TACH AND THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED BOUNCING THEN IT STARTED TO SHIFT FROM 6TH TO 2ND THEN TO 5TH BACK TO 2ND AND SO ON. PULLED OVER TURNED IT OFF TO SEE IF THE COMPUTER WOULD RESET THEN DROVE DOWN THE RODE AND AROUND 50MPH IT THROW ITSELF INTO PARK, THEN IT SHIFTED BACK INTO GEAR AND STARTED THE SAME THING OVER. TOOK TO DEALER THEY SO CALLED "FIXED IT" SAYING IT WAS LOW VOLTAGE PROBLEM CAUSED BY ALTERNATOR AND BAD BATTERY GOT TRUCK BACK 3/14/17, BUT THIS MORNING 3/15/17 IT MESSED UP SEE PIC WAS GOING 30MPH NOTICE THE SPEEDOMETER AND IT DOWNSHIFTED HARD ONCE FROM 6TH TO 4TH. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME ITS SOMETHING TO O WITH THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER SO I SPENT OVER $900 FOR NOTHING AND HAVE TO SPEND ANOTHER $1200+ FOR SOMETHING THEY NOT SURE WHAT IT IS..... THE MAIN ISSUE IS WHAT IF I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT WENT INTO PARK.
