2010 FORD F-150 Complaints

WEATHER WAS 28 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. LEAVING WORK I TURNED ON MY REAR GLASS DEFROST AND ON MY 20 COMMUTE TO MY HOME ABOUT 1 MILE FROM MY HOUSE AT AROUND 4:20 AM CENTRAL STANDARD TIME MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE BACK GLASS SHATTERED. ALL I HEARD WAS A LOUD IMPACT SOUND LIKE SOMETHING HITTING MY ROOF AND WHEN I PULLED UP TO MY HOUSE AND FURTHER INSPECTED MY VEHICLE THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED MY REAR GLASS HAD SHATTERED AND WAS STILL CRACKING. I LOOKED FOR AN IMPACT MARK BUT FOUND NOTHING. BED OF TRUCK WAS EMPTY SO ONLY CONCLUSION IS THAT THE REAR DEFROST MAY HAVE GOT TO HOT WITH COLD GLASS BUT I REALLY DO NOT KNOW.

SEVERAL TIMES MY FORD F150 WILL SUDDENLY NOT START AND HAS LEFT ME STRANDED NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. ONE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP SO I REPLACED THAT. HOWEVER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. UPON RESEARCHING THE INTERNET, I DISCOVERED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. I TOOK THE REAR DEFROSTING RELAY AND PLACED IT IN FOR THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AND THE TRUCK STARTED. HOWEVER, SEVERAL DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. IN ORDER TO MOVE MY VEHICLE, I HAVE USED SEVERAL DIFFERENT RELAYS TO GET THE TRUCK TO START AND IT'S WORKED UP UNTIL YESTERDAY. I'VE BOUGHT NEW ONES AND IT STILL WOULDN'T WORK. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, I DECIDED TO CHECK THE FUEL PUMP FUSE AND IT WAS MELTED TO THE FUSE BOX. THIS MADE ME LOOK UP RECALLS AND TSB NO. 15-0137 SEEMS TO BE APPLICABLE. HOWEVER, WHEN I SEARCH MY VIN, MY VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED UNDER THE RECALL. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE.

WHILE DRIVING, SUDDENLY ALL WARNING LIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING RANDOMLY, RADIO AND 4 WAY FLASHERS WENT ON. AFTER TURNING OFF THE TRUCK AND REMOVING THE KEY, THE PROBLEMS CONTINUED AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. TOWED IT TO A DEALER. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A BAD "SMART JUNCTION BOX", AND REPLACED "D MODULE".

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL DETATCHED FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE ROAD SHOULDER, PUSHED THE STEERING WHEEL BACK IN, AND DROVE TO THE RESIDENCE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO BOLTED THE STEERING WHEEL BACK TO THE COLUMN. HERTRICH FORD (9617 OCEAN GTWY, EASTON, MD 21601) WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO HEADQUARTERS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

DASH LIGHTS GO OUT WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING, ALSO ALL GAUGES ON DASH GO TO 0 (LIKE WHEN THE TRUCK IS SHUT OFF) AND THE A/C COMPRESSOR AND BLINKERS STOPS WORKING, THE FAN CONTINUES WORKING. THE ENGINE,BREAKS, HEADLIGHTS CONTINUE TO WORK. SOMETIMES IF YOU HIT THE DASH WITH YOUR FIST EVERYTHING WILL RETURN TO WORKING CONDITION. GOOD LUCK FIGURING THIS OUT BECAUSE FORD DEALERSHIP CAN'T.

REAR GLASS SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING, THERE WAS NO OBJECT THAT IMPACTED THE GLASS. REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WAS ON WHILE IT SHATTERED. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 45F.

2010 F-150 WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT IN A RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS STARTED AT ABOUT 7 AM THE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 15 F. THE TRUCK WAS STARTED AND ALLOWED TO IDLE FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. WHEN THE DRIVER ENTERED THE TRUCK THE REAR DEFROST WAS STARTED. WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STILL PARKED AND ABOUT 1 MINUTE AFTER THE DEFROST BUTTON WAS HIT THERE WAS A LARGE POP. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE DRIVER'S SIDE PANEL OF THE REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING STRIKING THE WINDOW, AND THERE HAD BEEN NO VISIBLE DEFECTS TO THE WINDOW PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THE CAUSE APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO THE DEFROST BEING ACTIVATED IN THE COLD TEMPERATURE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE HAS VERY ROUGH SHIFTS, AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT WHILE STOPPING OR ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY FOR SMALL TIME, THE VEHICLE JERKS WITH A ROUGH SHIFT. ALSO WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE AT AN ACCELERATED SPEED ON A HIGHWAY SUCH AS 55-70 THE VEHICLE BEINGS TO SHAKE MORE SO THE TRANSMISSION AREA AS THOUGH THE GEARS ARE NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, AND AS THIS OCCURS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FORD F-150 AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR NO WARNING AT ALL, THANKFULLY NO ACCIDENT BUT WAS VERY SCARY, WASN'T VERY FAR AWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED SO WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME SAFELY.
