2012 FORD F-150 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 7:15AM I WAS USING THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER TO MELT THE ICE ON THE REAR WINDOW. IT WAS 24 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT OUTSIDE. THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WINDOW PANE (3 PANED REAR WINDOW) SHATTERED. THE WINDOW THAT SHATTERED IS WHERE THE CONNECTIONS FOR THE REAR DEFROST ARE LOCATED. THERE WERE NO HOLES OR IMPACT POINTS ON THE WINDOW.

STARTED UP TRUCK, WINDOWS WERE FOGGY SO TURNED ON FRONT AND REAR DEFROST. REAR DEFROST LIGHT CAME ON AND WENT OFF. PUSHED REAR DEFROST BUTTON AGAIN AND LIGHT WOULD NOT COME ON. PARKED THE TRUCK GOT OUT AND HEARD A LOUD POP. REAR WINDOW DRIVER SIDE COMPLETELY SHATTERED. THERE IS NO IMPACT AND BELIEVE THE REAR DEFROST IS DEFECTIVE AND SHORTED OUT CAUSING THE REAR WINDOW TO SHATTER. WAS NOT COVERED UNDER FORD EXTENDED WARRANTY AND DEALER WANTED $950 TO REPLACE.

THE BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BRAKES STOPPED WORKING. THERE WAS NO SIGN OF A LEAK. I FILLED THE MASTER CYLINDER 2 TIMES WITHIN 2 MILES AND SAMETHING CONTINUED TO HAPPEN. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY GET IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS THE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER. NO SIGNS OF LEAKS. IMMEDIATELY STOPPED FUNCTIONING.

RIDING DOWN THE ROAD LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT COMES ON AND BRAKE LIGHT PULL OVER PUT 24 OZ. BRAKE FLUID IN DRIVE FOR 20 MILES HI-WAY SAME THING PULL OVER MASTER CYLINDER ALMOST DRY. REFILL CHECK VEHICLE FOR LEAKS NOTHING DRIVE 1/2 MILE CHECK FLUID DOWN HALF WAY TAKE TRUCK TO DEALER SAY,S MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING INTO BOOSTER PUMP LUCKILY DRIVING EARLY MORNING NO TRAFFIC AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF ROAD QUICKLY COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTERS

WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE ON 10 MAR 2016, I MADE A LEFT TURN IN MY F150 WHICH RESULTED IN THE STEERING MAKING A SQUEALING NOISE AND PRECEDING TO LOCK UP. I WAS ABLE TO MUSCLE THE TRUCK HOME AND AM FEARFUL TO DRIVE IT ANYWERE.

I ALSO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR AND NOT HAVING ANY BRAKES WHEN APPLIED. THE DEALER REPLACED SEVERAL PARTS TO NO AVAIL. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND THE BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I WENT STRAIGHT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AT THE END OF THE RAMP. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED BUT I AM STILL VERY CAREFUL. I WOULD LOVE TO FIND THE EXACT PROBLEM.

TURNED REAR DEFROSTER ON, HEARD LOUD POP FROM REAR DEFROST AND IT SHATTERED OUT BACK WINDOW ALL IN AN INSTANT. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND HAD RECENTLY BEEN STARTED AFTER A COLD NIGHT.

STARTED VEHICLE PLACED IN DRIVE GAVE A LITTLE GAS WAS UNABLE TO STOP,I WAS STANDING ON BRAKE PEDAL BUT WAS NOT STOPPING UNTIL GOING THROUGH THE CORNER POST OF MY GARAGE.

BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR LOSS OF BRAKING RIGHT AFTER STARTING ENGINE AND MOVING VEHICLE. HAS HAPPENED REPEATTEDLY FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS.

VEHICLE FUEL PUMP SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING DUE TO FUEL PUMP FUSE (LOCATION #27) BURNING UP IN FUSE BOX. AFTER MY VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES, LAST ON THE HIGHWAY, WITH A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND OTHER SAFETY CONCERNS, I FOUND FORD HAS ISSUED A TSB (TSB 15-0137) WITH A WORK AROUND FUSE RELOCATION. THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY AS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO FORD, BUT NOT THE CONSUMER, PUTTING DRIVERS AT RISK. THE FUSE AT ISSUE, LOCATION #27, LITERALLY MELTED AND BURNED UP IN THE SOCKET.
