2012 FORD F-150 Complaints

ON FRIDAY NOVEMBER 4/2016 AT APPROXIMATELY 2:00 PM I WAS TRAVELING WEST BOUND ON HIGHWAY 401 IN MY 2012 FORD PICK UP (VIN1FTFX1CFOCFC04553) TOWING A BOAT WHEN MY TRUCK LOST ALL POWER AND STALLED. IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO SAFELY GET MY VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER AND THIS WAS ONLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS TRAVELING IN THE RIGHT LANE AT THE TIME. I DID NOT FEEL SAFE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE I WAS AND TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO START THE TRUCK AND DRIVE UP THE ROAD TO AN OFF RAMP TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY BUT THE TRUCK WOULD ONLY START AND IMMEDIATELY STALL. APPARENTLY, A VERY TINY SPIDER HAD BEEN PULLED INTO THE MASS AIR SENSOR AND THIS SOMEHOW KILLED MY TRUCK AND ALMOST ME.HOW DOES FORD ALLOW A SENSOR LIKE THIS TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN A VEHICLE AND WHAT IS OR HAS FORD DONE ABOUT SUCH A OBVIOUS DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE HERE THAT CAN CLEARLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED GEARS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE ALSO STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED WHEN IT WAS TURNED OFF AND ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 93,100.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BECOME UNSTABLE ON THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WHEELS SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

DRIVING AT ABOUT 65 MILES PER HOUR HWY 134 HEADING EAST BOUND WHEN THE SPEED ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND THE TRUCK DOWN SHIFTED CAUSING A SUDDEN DECREASE IN SPEED. I WAS LUCKY NO ONE WAS FOLLOWING CLOSE BEHIND OR THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALER RIGHT AWAY AND HAVE THE TRUCK AT SUNSHINE FORD IN NORTH HOLLYWOOD BEING REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD MY VIN # IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I CHECKED AND THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THE TRUCKS THAT WERE RECALLED HAVE. I EXPECT MY TRUCK TO BE ADDED ONTO THE RECALL. THIS IS AN UNSAFE DEFECT. I WROTE TO FORD CORPORATION FRIDAY THE 28TH DAY OF OCTOBER, 2016. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE HAD SLUDGE, THE VEHICLE HAD A STRONG HESITATION, AND STALLED MORE THAN TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND REPAIR SHOP MORE THAN ONCE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AFTER SPEAKING WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY I THOUGHT I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT ON HERE AS WELL. MY HUSBANDS 2012 FORD F150 POWER STEERING SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, IT APPEARS HIS IS BY FAR NOT THE ONLY ONE. APPARENTLY OTHER MODELS OF THE SAME YEAR HAVE HAD RECALLS BUT NOT THE F150. I WAS TOLD GO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND FIXED AND IF WE ISSUE A RECALL, YOU MIGHT GET A REFUND. $2200 AND WE CAN GET IT CHECKED OUT AND FIXED IF THEY SEE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT AN IN AND OUT SERVICE AND ITS VERY DISAPPOINTING A COMPANY THAT HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE 1903 HAS TURNED TO SUCH POOR QUALITY IN SERVICE. EVERYONE NEEDS TO FILE A COMPLAINT SO THEY WILL STOP TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE LOYALTY OF THE CUSTOMERS. *TR

WHEN MAKING SHARP TURNS MY TRUCK WOULD GET A " SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" ALARM. AFTER I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT WOULD GO OFF. NOW IT IS ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF AND MY TURN SIGNALS DON'T WORK, SO I CANNOT DRIVE TRUCK. IT HAS 66,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE READ ABOUT A 100+ DIFFERENT STATEMENTS FROM OTHER FORD TRUCK OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I DON'T HAVE $2,000 TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD FORDS AND THIS ISSUE IS REALLY MAKING ME THINK THAT I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK. FORD SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM SINCE SO MANY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS. I SPENT A LOT OF MONEY BUYING THIS TRUCK AND BOUGHT IT OUT OF LOYALTY TO FORD AND THEY SHOULD RECOGNIZE THIS DEFECT AND BE LOYAL TO ITS CUSTOMERS AND FIX THIS PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE. BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. MY TRUCK IS A 2012 FORD F150 XTR 44. THIS COMPLAINT PROBABLY WON'T DO ANYTHING BUT I WISH IT WOULD. NOW I HAVE A TRUCK I CAN'T DRIVE. THIS IS B.S.
