VALVE STEM RETAINER HOLE WAS MIS-DRILLED DURING MANUFACTURING. THIS DEFECT COULD BE PRESENT ON MANY VEHICLES. THIS DEFECT WAS FOUND AT THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED TIRE REPLACEMENT INTERVAL.

2013 F-150 LARIAT' SAME THING, MARCH 2017, VEHICLE STARTED BY REMOTE STARTER IN MY DRIVEWAY, IT WAS APPROX 35 DEGREES OUT,. I BUCKLED MY SON IN THE REAR CAR SEAT, GOT INTO THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND I HEARD A LOUD BANG LIKE SOMETHING REAR HIT THE ROOF AREA. LOOKED AROUND AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. WHEN I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR I COULD SEE THE REAR LEFT SIDE PANEL OF GLASS HAD COMPLETELY CRACKED,"SPIDER-ED". THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK(I WILL BE SUBMITTING A SECOND COMPLAINT REGARDING THAT INCIDENT.

USED REMOTE START, IT WAS ABOUT 25 DEGREES. WENT OUT GOT IN TRUCK AND HEARD A CRACKING SOUND. TURNED AROUND TO LOOK IN BACK SEAT AND SAW DRIVERS SIDE OF REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED.

VIBRATION WHEN STARTING OFF IN FIRST GEAR OR DRIVE ON AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. ALSO VIBRATION AT 45MPH THRU 52MPH WHILE LIGHT THROTTLE APPLICATION ONLY. THIS IS REALLY NOTICEABLE ON SMOOTH ROADS.

DRIVING IN HEAVY 5 LANE TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 50-55 MILES AN HOUR, IN THE 3RD LANE FROM THE RIGHT ON I580 EAST. I ACCELERATED TO GET INTO THE EXPRESS LANE AND WHEN I WAS STARTING TO MERGE SUDDENLY THERE WAS NO POWER. IT DIDN'T MATTER HOW MUCH I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL IT HAD NO POWER. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. I HAD TO QUICKLY SIGNAL AND COASTED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY. THERE WAS A WRENCH ICON ON THE DASH AND A WARNING THAT THE TRUCK WAS STUCK IN 4X4. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND AFTER READING THE MANUAL, I STARTED THE TRUCK AND ALL SEEMED FINE UNTIL I TRIED TO MERGE AGAIN AND AGAIN NO POWER FROM THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A FORD DEALER.

BACK SLIDING GLASS WINDOW ON DRIVER'S SIDE (WITH DEFROST) - USED REMOTE CRANKING THIS MORNING TO START THE TRUCK ON A MID 40 DEGREE MORNING. TRUCK HAD BEEN RUNNING APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES. UPON ENTERING THE VEHICLE AND PLACING IT IN REVERSE, I NOTICED THAT THE REAR WINDOW (DRIVER'S SIDE, NON-SLIDING PORTION) WAS SHATTERED. I EXITED THE TRUCK TO INSPECT AND COULD HEAR CRACKING NOISES, LIKE RICE CRISPIES, AS IT WAS STILL CRACKING. THERE HAD NOT BEEN ANY IMPACT TO THE GLASS PREVIOUSLY AND THERE WAS NO IMPACT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THE TRUCK IS APPROXIMATELY 24 MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE AND HAS 20,8XX MILES. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER TO INQUIRE ABOUT WARRANTY CLAIMS.

BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE FINALLY STOPPING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING SLOWLY GETTING INTO THE STREET. DID NOT CRASHED BECAUSE I WAS KEEPING A LONG DISTANCE FROM THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. TOOK TO THE FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD OF NO RECALLS AND SUGGESTED TO TAKE IT TO A PLACE WHERE THEY MAKE OIL CHANGES AND MINOR REPAIRS FOR AN INSPECTION. DID AS TOLD AND THEY CHECKED THE BRAKES FOR WEAR, LEAKS AND VISUAL DAMAGE AND FOUND NONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150 TOWING A COUGAR FIFTH WHEEL CAMPER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOBBLED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROTORS WERE OVERHEATING. THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE 408 EXPRESSWAY IN ORLANDO FL, I (ALONG WITH WIFE AND KIDS) SPOTTED TRAFFIC CONGESTION AHEAD. WHEN I APPLIED BRAKES I REALIZED MY BRAKES DIDN'T WORK. AN ERROR FLASHED ON MY DASHBOARD SAYING LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL. USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND DOWNSHIFTING THE VEHICLE I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A SAFE START USING THE MEDIUM. WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO FORD I WAS TOLD THE BRAKE FLUID LEAKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER CAUSING THE FAILURE IN MY BRAKES. THERE WEREN'T ANY LEAKS VISIBLE FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A RECALL ON TRUCKS SIMILAR TO MINE FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT FOR SOME REASON MY TRUCK WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I HAD TO PAY FORD TO GET THE VEHICLE FIXED.
