GOT IN THE TRUCK IN THE MORNING,THE TRUCK WAS COLD WAS BACKING UP AND PUSHED THE BREAK PEDAL AND DID NOT HAVE BREAKS..THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE TO ME.ONCE IN NOVEMBER OF 2015 AND FEBRUARY OF 2016,WHEN I CALLED MY WIFE TO ASK FOR THE VIN# TO FILL OUT THIS REPORT SHE SAID IT HAS HAPPENED TO HER ALSO 3 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH .NO BREAKS.IN THE MORNING,WE LIVE IN MICHIGAN.

REAR WINDOW SHATTERED AS A RESULT OF FAULTY DEFROST SYSTEM. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WITH DEFROST ACTIVATED. WINDOW SHATTERED PRODUCING A LOUD POP. DEFROST FAILED TO WORK GOING FORWARD AND SPIDER WEB IN WINDOW WAS APPARENT ONCE DAMAGE WAS INSPECTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR CENTER OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN INSTALLED A DRIVESHAFT BOOT REPAIR KIT LUBRICANT TO KEEP THE GEAR FROM WEARING OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,362.

DRIVING ON 03/04/2016, 7:45 A.M., 26 DEGREES F. HEARD LOUD BANG. REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW OF POWERSLIDE UNIT HAD SHATTERED AND SPIDERWEBBED OVER WHOLE SURFACE. NO SIGNS OF ANY IMPACT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEEDS AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO BECOME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT A WATER LEAK HAD CAUSED WIRING DAMAGE WHICH MIGHT HAVE CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE WATER PUMP WAS REPLACED BUT THE VEHICLE LATER EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

THE ELECTRONIC ASSISTED POWER STEERING PUMP IS GOING OUT ON MY TRUCK. IT GAVE ME NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SIGNS THAT IT WAS GOING TO FAIL. I WAS DRIVING INTO A CURVE AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP I WAS ABLE TO STILL CONTROL MY VEHICLE BUT IT WAS HARD TO TURN. IT HAS THEN STARTED MAKING NOISE AND WANTS TO LOCK UP WHEN I TURN. I BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO FORD AND THEY'RE USING A SCAPEGOAT NOT TO COVER IT UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND BLAMING IT ON A MODIFICATION TO THE VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK AND ALL THE SUDDEN A NOISE THAT SOUNDED LOUD LIKE A GUN SHOT WENT OFF AND MY DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOW HAD JUST SHATTERED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SLOW DOWN AND CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE ABS ACTIVATED EVEN THOUGH THE ROAD SURFACE WAS DRY. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION, BUT THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE FRONT BUMPER SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. ON FIVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

AFTER HAVING THE BRAKE PADS REPLACED AT ABOUT 24,000 MILES, I WAS BACKING UP AND LOST POWER AND ALMOST RAN INTO MY NEIGHBORS YARD. THE MECHANIC IS SAYING ITS THE VACUUM ASSIST PUMP AND POSSIBLY SOMETHING ELSE BUT THIS PROBLEM DIDN'T HAPPEN BEFORE AND ONLY WHEN I START THE CAR AND BACK UP

I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS, FOUR TIMES! THE TRUCK WILL ACTUALLY GO INTO 'LIMP MODE' CAUSING THE ENGINE TO LOSE ALL POWER WHEN ACCELERATING, IT TAKES ABOUT A MINUTE TO CORRECT ITSELF, BUT YOU HAVE TO LET COMPLETELY OFF THE ACCELERATOR. IF YOU DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR BEFORE IT CORRECTS ITSELF THE VEHICLE SHUTTERS VIOLENTLY AND SLOWS EVEN MORE! THIS IS A VERY HAIRY SITUATION ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON RT 95! THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME "UNFORTUNATELY IT'S SUNNY OUT AND WE CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM "! IT ONLY DOES THIS WHEN YOU GO ON TRIPS DURING RAINY DAYS OR IN HEAVY MOISTURE.I LIVE IN MARYLAND AND HAVE A SECOND HOME IN WINSTON-SALEM NC. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST SEVEN TIMES WHILL COUTING BETWEEN THE TWO. ALL THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE IS PUT A SO CALLED WATER DEFLECTOR ON MY VEHICLE, WHICH DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE GETTING KILLED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS WIDELY KNOWN PROBLEM?
