2012 FORD F-150 Complaints

I HAVE SHUDDERING GOIN ON SOMEWHERE IN THE DRIVE SHAFT, TRANSFER CASE AND THE TRANSMISSION. I JUST GOT IT BACK FROM FORD WHERE THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. AND ON THE WAY HOME I HIT A BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE SHUDDER ALMOST RAN ME INTO THE CAR NEXT TO ME. I AM FEELING VERY SCARED TO DRIVE IT, I FEEL LIKE IT'S GONNA FALL APART. I'VE HAD IT INTO FORD MANY TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND OTHERS AND TO NO AVAIL, THEY CAN'T FIX IT. I'M READY TO FILE A LAWSUIT OVER THIS. PLEASE HELP. THANKS

2012 F150 ECOBOOST REAR POWER WINDOW SHATTERED SPONTANEOUSLY AFTER TURNING ON DEFROST. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME AND HAS 38,000 MILES ON IT. FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS REFUSED ANY COMPENSATION FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM DOCUMENTED BY MULTIPLE OTHER FORD F150 OWNERS. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP DOCUMENTED AND PHOTOGRAPHED THE SHATTERED WINDOW. I WILL BE OUT OF POCKET $1000 TO REPAIR THIS. TIME FOR FORD MOTOR CO TO ADMIT A PROBLEM HERE AND ISSUE A RECALL.

TSB 11-08-18. EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO MY VEHICLE. RANDOM. IN LONG SWEEPING LEFT TURNS WHEN STEERING WHEEL IS AT THE 11 OCLOCK POSITION BETWEEN 40-75 MPH. STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT RESET ITSELF BACK TO CENTER. I HAVE TO MANUALLY MOVE WHEEL BACK TO CENTER. MEANING, WHEN COMING OUT OF THE LEFTHAND TURN THE WHEEL WILL STAY AT THE 11OCLOCK POSITION UNTIL I MOVE IT BACK TO CENTER. NOT EVERY TIME BUT OFTEN. IF YOU DONT PAY ATTENTION 100% OF THE TIME THE TRUCK WILL STEER ITSELF INTO A WALL OR MEDIAN ONLY GOING LEFT.

TRUCK STARTED TO SKIP OUT OF GEAR WHEN DRIVING; THIS STARTED HAPPENING A YEAR AGO. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP IN AUSTIN, TX (COVERT FORD), DID A MINOR TRANSMISSION REBUILD; HOWEVER, WE NOTED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR FORD F150 2012 TRANSMISSION, BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE MODEL WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. AFTER NUMEROUS RETURNS TO COVERT DUE TO THE RECURRENCE OF THE SAME ISSUE , WE TOOK THE TRUCK ON AN EXTENDED VACATION TO THE MOUNTAINS WHERE THE TRUCK STARTED TO LOSE POWER ON INCLINES (THE SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE). WE HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO DURANGO, CO TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. THE DURANGO DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT NEEDED A NEW LEADFRAME, SOMETHING WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT BY THE AUSTIN DEALERSHIP A LONG TIME AGO. COVERT (THE AUSTIN DEALERSHIP) DID INSTALL A TSB COMPONENT, BUT THE OLDER RECALLED VERSION OF IT, WHICH IS WHY THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. WE HAVE BEEN WAITING THREE DAYS AND 800 MILES FROM HOME FOR THE NEW VERSION OF THE LEAD FRAME TO ARRIVE AND BE INSTALLED BY THE DURANGO DEALERSHIP. COVERT FORD (IN AUSTIN, TX) GROSSLY MISHANDLED THIS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING WITH THEIR INCOMPETENCE AND LACK OF ACKNOWLEDGING THE SERVICE BULLETIN, WHICH WE BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION FROM THE VERY BEGINNING!!! AT THIS POINT, THIS HAS COST US THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, HOURS OF LOST WORK AND WAGES, TIME AWAY FROM HOME, AND MANY HEADACHES.

"SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" LIGHT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM REPORTED ON MANY WEB FORUMS. A SENSOR IN THE STEERING RACK IS NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE THE DIRECTION THAT THE WHEELS ARE POINTING AND GENERATES THE ALARM. THE INDICATORS WILL NOT WORK WHILST THE ALARM IS ON UNLESS THE STALK IS HELD IN PLACE. THE ERROR CAN SOMETIMES BE RESET BUT RESTARTING THE CAR BUT NOT ALWAYS. THIS DEFICIENCY IS WELL KNOW BY FORD AND MANY DEALERS YET FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM WITH A TSB OR RECALL ACTION. THE SENSOR CAN NOT BE CHANGED SO THE ENTIRE STEERING RACK ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT OVER $1500. I HAVE JUST TRIED TO WORK WITH A FORD CSM TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED ON MY OUT OF WARRANTY TRUCK BUT WAS TOLD THAT "THERE ARE NO PROGRAMS IN PLACE TO HELP ME". THIS IS EITHER POORLY DESIGNED PART AND/OR A EARLY COMPONENT FAILURE. 2011/2012 WAS ONE OF THE FIRST YEARS THAT FORD INSTALLED THE EPS UNIT IN THE F150'S.

CHECK ADVANCE TRAC WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON IN MOTION. DRY CONDITIONS, DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HWY, OR PAVED TWO LANE ROADS. GOES OFF AFTER STOPPING VEHICLE AND LETTING IT SET FOR A FEW MINUTES. STARTED AT 13,000 MILES AND NOW GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AT 53000 MILES. ALMOST EVERY 100 MILES. DEALERSHIP IS NO HELP..

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 75MPH PULLING A 6000LB CAMPER THE BRAKES WOULDN'T WORK. THE STAYED FIRM AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO DEPRESS THEM. THEN ERRORS CAME ACROSS THE SCREENS WARNING OF A BREAK SYSTEM FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE MISFIRED AND THE RPMS INCREASED. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CHARGE AIR COOLER AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS PARTIALLY REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

DRIVING TRUCK AT 65 PLUS MILES PER HOUR ON INTERSTATE AND VEHICLE STALLED OUT LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES AND WAS TOO CLOSE TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT. LATER FOUND OUT THAT FUSE 27 HAD MELTED AND LOST ALL FUEL PUMP PRESSURE.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2012 F-150EB, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST QUIT WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN IN A PARKING GARAGE. I HAD TO PUT ALL 180 LBS OF MY WEIGHT INTO THE STEER IN ORDER TO AVOID A CONCRETE STANCHION, 2 PEDESTRIANS AND ANOTHER VEHICLE. HAD MY WIFE BEEN DRIVING, THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FATALITY. FORD CORP. CLAIMS THEY KNOW OF NO PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING ON THIS VEHICLE. HOWEVER, I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON LINE CITING THE SAME PROBLEM/ISSUES. DIAGNOSIS WAS "POWER STEERING ELECTRIC MOTOR FAILURE" AND REPAIR COST IS $2,200.00.
