THE FPDM WAS GOING BAD. THE TRUCK WOULD SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. TWICE IT DIED WHILE TURNING AND I COULDN'T STEER. ONCE ALMOST HAD ME IN THE BACK OF A PARKED CAR. THIS COST ME OVER 300 DOLLARS TO FIX. IT'S ONLY GOING BACD BECAUSE THE ARE MOUNTED TO THE STEEL GRAM AND THE ALUMINUM BACKING ON THE FPDM IS PITTING AND WATER IS GETTING IN. THIS PROBLEM ALSO MADE IT DIFFICULT TO START, AND MESSED WITH MY MPG.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. UPON INSPECTION, FUSE #27 BURNED OUT INSTEAD OF BLOWING. THIS FUSE CONTROLS THE FUEL PUMP, AND WHEN IT BURNED UP THE FUEL PUMP LOST POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEED. UPON RESEARCH IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2009-2014 YEAR MODELS AND FORD ISSUED A TSB BUT NOT A RECALL. I HADN'T KNOWN ABOUT THIS WHEN PURCHASING THE TRUCK USED, AND IT IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

THIS MORNING (8/5/2019) MY REAR DRIVER-SIDE WINDOW SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED, AGAIN. THERE WAS NO IMPACT (I HAVE A CAMPER SHELL ON THE VEHICLE). I WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON SMOOTH TERRAIN. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. THE FIRST TWO WERE SIMILAR IN NATURE: THE FIRST ONE WAS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON SMOOTH SURFACE STREETS AND THE REPAIR WAS DONE UNDER WARRANTY; THE SECOND WAS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND THE DEALERSHIP WAS WILLING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. IN EACH CASE, I HAD TO (AND WILL HAVE TO AGAIN) PAY TO HAVE MY CAMPER SHELL REMOVED AND STORED WHILE THE REPAIR TAKES PLACE.

WHEN YOU PRESS THE WINDOW DEFROST BUTTON THE RIGHT PANEL OF THE REAR GLASS OVERHEATS AND SHATTERS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW WHEN LEAVING THE HOUSE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THE TRUCK WAS 1 YEAR OLD IN 20 DEGREE WEATHER WITH FROST ON THE WINDOWS AND THE SECOND TIME WAS 80 DEGREE WEATHER WITH WINDOWS FOGGED UP. IT'S VERY STARTLING TO HEAR AN EXPLOSION RIGHT BEHIND YOUR HEAD WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING SOUNDING LIKE AND GUNSHOT OR BRICK BEING THROWN INTO THE VEHICLE

OUR 2010 FORD F150 IS LITERALLY ROTTING AWAY IN THE DRIVE WAY BOTH SIDES OF THE BED HAVE RUST THROUGH AT 45,000 MILES IT STARTED, THE TRUCK NOW HAS APPRX 58,000 MILES. WE PURCHASED A FORD BECAUSE THEY WERE ONLY THE ONE OF THE BIG 3 US AUTO MAKERS THAT DIDN'T TAKE THE BAIL OUT FROM THE TAXPAYERS & WE PREVIOUSLY OWNED ONE. WE HAVE A 2008 HYUNDIA WITH 102,000 MILES NO RUST OR HOLES, 2011 CHEVY SILVERADO WITH 60,000 MILES AND A 2012 GMC SIERRA 80,000 AND NO RUST OR HOLES. FORD HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR THE TRUCK. THIS IS A DISGRACE A TRUCK WITH EXTREMELY LOW MILES LITERALLY ROTTING AWAY IN THE DRIVEWAY. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER FORD IN OUR DRIVE UNLESS FORD STEPS UP AND FIXES THIS. OUR SONS THAT OWN THE CHEVY & GMC ARE YOUNG AND ALOT OF VEHICLES TO PURCHASE IN THEIR LIVES, THEY ARE DISGUSTED WITH THE FORD ALSO. FORD REPRESENTATIVE NEEDS TO SEE THIS TRUCK!
