2009 FORD F-150 Complaints

I CAME HOME AND NOTICED FLUID ON MY DRIVEWAY AND UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I FOUND IT COMING FROM THE WIRE HARNESS SLEEVE IN THE TRANSMISSION. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY ARE SO BACKED UP WITH THIS ISSUE AND OTHER TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT IT WOULD BE A MONTH BEFORE THEY COULD TAKE MY TRUCK IN. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THEY ARE TRYING TO CHARGE $650 DOLLARS TO FIX IT ( $120 IN PARTS AND MAYBE 1 1/2 HRS WORK).....THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

I TOOK MY 2009 FORD F-150 INTO LES SCHWAB FOR A TIRE ROTATION AND THEY POINTED OUT THAT ALL FOUR OF MY HANKOOK DYNAPRO ATM LT285/55-20 RF10 TIRES WITH DOT # T7VWRFH4510 HAVE APPROX. 1-1 1/2" CRACKS AROUND THE ENTIRE TIRE WHERE THE TREAD MEETS THE SIDEWALL. THE TIRES HAVE APPROXIMATELY 28,000 MILES ON THEM AND STILL HAVE AGGRESSIVE TREAD LIFE. LES SCHWAB RECOMMENDED REPLACING AND DID NOT HAVE AN ANSWER AS TO WHY/HOW THIS OCCURRED. *TR

ON OR ABOUT MARCH 23, 2015 STEERING BECAME STIFF. STIFFNESS INCREASED TO THE POINT ON APRIL 1, 2015 THAT IT STARTED TO BIND UPON MAKING RIGHT HAND TURNS. DEALER REPLACED LOWER STEERING SHAFT ON APRIL 3, 2015 AND THE STEERING HAS RETURNED TO NORMAL. I HAVE OWNED 17 DIFFERENT VEHICLES IN MY LIFETIME AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH BINDING STEERING. IF THE STEERING HAD BOUND UP COMPLETELY I COULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. FORD MOTOR SHOULD INITIATE A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR

I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO FORD AND IT HAPPENS WHEN I,M PULLING IN TO PARK OR BACKING UP IN A SPACE TO PARK, THE TRUCKS ENGINE STARTS TO SHAKE AND THAN STALL, WHEN FORD PUT THE THING TO ATTACH UNDER YOUR STEERING WHEEL IT DID NOT SHOW ON THE SCREEN, I HAD A PRIVATE MECH. DO THE SAME THING AND HE COULD NOT FIND IT EITHER. I DO THINK THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE MY TRUCK HAS ALSO GONE DEAD IN THE ROAD WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE AND STALL...NOW IT IS HAPPENING A LOT , I TALK TO THE FORD DEALER A STATES THAT IT IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY . THE PROBLEM STARTED EVEN WHEN THE WARRANTY WAS STILL GOOD ON THE TRUCK. *TR

IN APRIL 2014 I NOTICED A VAST AMOUNT OF WATER COLLECTING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT FLOOR. THERE WAS A LEAK COMING FROM THE SUNROOF DOWN THE HEADLINER AND THROUGH THE POST TO THE FLOOR. I INSPECTED THE SUNROOF AND FOUND THE DRIP PAN TO BE WET. I POURED A LITTLE WATER THROUGH THE DRAIN HOSE AND IT DID NOT GO THROUGH. I BROUGHT IT TO FORD FOR REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THAT THE DRAIN HOSE WAS KINKED AND WAS LIKE THAT FROM THE FACTORY. THEY CUT THE DRAIN HOSE TO THE CORRECT LENGTH AND ADJUSTED THE SUNROOF. THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE VEHICLES EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER IT. I PAID OUT OF POCKET $210. FAST FORWARD TO DECEMBER 10, 2014, WHEN I NOTICED WATER COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT ASSIST HANDLE. I WENT TO FORD FOR SERVICE AND MENTIONED THIS TO THE SERVICE TECH AND WAS TOLD THAT EVERYONE WHO HAS A SUNROOF WAS EXPERIENCING THIS DUE TO THE HEAVY RAIN. THIS MORNING DECEMBER 17TH, I NOTICED WATER IN THE SAME AREA COMING FROM THE HANDLE. I CHECKED THE SUNROOF AND DID NOT FIND THE PAN TO BE WET. I CALLED FORD AND ADVISED THEM, AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN DECEMBER 22ND FOR ANOTHER WATER TEST. THEY ALSO ADVISED ME THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, SO I WILL AGAIN HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THIS TRUCK HAS 19,000 MILES ON IT AND IT CAN'T BE DRIVEN IN RAIN. THE SAD PART IS THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AND DOES NOTHING TO FIX THEM. *TR

ENGINE BEGAN TO SHAKE AT 65MPH. PULLED OVER AND ENGINE WAS SHOT. POSSIBLE CAM PHASERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR (SOMETIMES CALLED THE "SUICIDE" DOOR) ON THE FORD F150 EXTENDED CAB TRUCK REFUSED TO OPEN. UPON RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM IT WAS FOUND TO BE AN ONGOING FORD PROBLEM SINCE THE 1990'S. THE CHILD SEATS IN THE BACK WOULD HAVE BEEN INACCESSIBLE IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. FROM THE RESEARCH IT APPEARS THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OF THESE TRUCKS AFFECTED. THANK YOU *TR
