2012 FORD F-150 Complaints

AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MINUTES, I PARKED MY TRUCK FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. AFTER RETURNING TO MY VEHICLE AND PULLING AWAY, MY TRUCK WOULD BARELY ACCELERATE. I GAVE IT MORE GAS AND A LARGE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON MY DASH AND SOON DISAPPEARED. ONCE IT WAS GONE, MY SPEEDOMETER DIDN'T FUNCTION, THE MILEAGE WAS GONE AND THE AIR BAG DISCONNECT WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. I DECIDED TO DRIVE IT TO MY DEALERSHIP 10 MILES AWAY SO THEY COULD ATTEMPT TO REGISTER A CODE ON THEIR COMPUTER AS I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS TRUCK BUCKING/SURGING WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAYS SPEEDS FOR 8 MONTHS. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A WARNING LIGHT HAD ILLUMINATED FOR A PROBLEM. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE ISSUES, I NOTICED THAT THE SIGNALS WERE NOT TURN OFF AUTOMATICALLY AND HAD TO BE DEACTIVATED MANUALLY DURING TURNS. AFTER THE TECHNICIAN TOOK TECHNICAL INFORMATION MY VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND ON AND EVERYTHING RETURNED TO NORMAL. AS I MENTIONED THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE AND THEY ARE GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. I SEE NO RECALLS FROM FORD ON THIS ECOBOOST ENGINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP AND WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE STEERING WENT OUT, I HAD NO POWER STEERING AT ALL AND I NEARLY HAD AN ACCIDENT. THIS VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD. I HAD TO SPEND NEARLY $1700.00 ON REPAIRS FOR A PROBLEM THAT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS. I WAS DIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THERE WAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC.

I HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH BRAKING AFTER COLD START WHEN BACKING OR DRIVING FORWARD OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. REPLACED VACUUM PUMP AS THIS IS A DOCUMENTED PROBLEM AND AFTER ONLY A FEW DAYS THE PROBLEM RESUMED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT MY MECHANIC FOR FURTHER EVALUATION AND POTENTIAL REPAIR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND ALSO COSTING ME ALOT OF MONEY IN REPAIRS! I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY ISSUES WHEN DRIVING ON THE ROADWAY, HOWEVER, I DO NOT TRANSPORT MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK DUE TO THIS ISSUE.

THE OTHER DAY MY TRUCK WOULD NOT START WHEN LEAVING WORK AT NIGHT. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK OVER BUT NOT START. FORD LET ME KNOW IT WAS A FUSE AND SOME COMPONENTS THAT HAD MELTED, THAT IT WOULD NEED A SPECIAL PART TO BE ORDERED IN SINCE FORD HAS STATED THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT MUST BE LOCATED TO A DIFFERENT AREA OF THE VEHICLE FOR SAFETY REASONS (FIRE HAZARD). I AM SHOCKED THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL ABOUT THIS NOR IS IT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY (I HAVE AN EXTENDED BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY).

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT COMES ON AND VEHICLE IS HARD TO STEER. RESETS AFTER SHUTTING ENGINE OFF BUT HAS CAME ON MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY VEHICLES WITH MANUAL STEERING AND CAN HARDLY TURN THE WHEEL ON THIS VEHICLE WHEN THIS FAULT HAPPENS

BRAKES DON'T ENGAGE AFTER SITTING, VACCUM PUMP TO BOOSTER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY.

REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WAS TURNED ON. 5-10MINUTES LATER, WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY, A REAR WINDOW PANEL SHATTERED, EMITTING A LOUD BANG. I BELIEVE THAT THE REAR DEFROSTER OR DEFECT IN THE WINDOW CAUSED IT TO SHATTER - NO OTHER EVIDENCE FOR SOURCES OF BREAKAGE WAS FOUND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED DURING RAIN WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION MISFIRED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 59,000. ......UPDATED 12/17/15 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE SPARK PLUGS AND PLUGS WERE REPLACED. *JS
