THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE SPIDER GEAR WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES.

THE BUMPERS AND METAL UNDER THE DOORS ARE ROTTING OUT , THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 8 YEARS OLD. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED ,LOTS OF PEOPLE ON INTERNET ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED TO START AND THE VEHICLE STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. ON ONE OCCASION, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, RESTARTED THE ENGINE, AND REGAINED NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE ENGINE FAILURE PERSISTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE LOCATED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC RESEARCHED THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE ENGINE FUSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE FUSE WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO FAIL TO START AND STALLED WHEN DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED ABRUPTLY WITHOUT WARNING OR INDICATION AT 75MPH ON THE HIGHWAY LOCKING THE REAR TIRES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL ALMOST ROLLING OVER AND MAKING CONTACT WITH OTHER VEHICLES TRAVELING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSTICALLY CHECKED AND INSPECTED AT A FORD SERVICE CENTER. THEY INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL FAILURE TO REPAIR. THE TRUCK CURRENTLY OPERATES IN THE SAME MANNER AS IT DID PRIOR TO THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTING. IN MY OPINION, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITS THE SAME FAILURE MODE THAT FORD FIXED UNDER RECALL 16S19. THIS DESIGN FLAW IS EXTREMELY LIFE THREATENING AND HAZARDOUS. I HAVE PARKED MY VEHICLE. I CONTACTED FORD 4 TIMES AND EVEN THOUGH THAT 1 INDIVIDUAL FROM FORD DID INDICATE THAT MY VEHICLE WAS INDEED AFFECTED BY THE DESIGN FLAW ASSOCIATED WITH THE 16S19 RECALL, IT WAS NOT ON THE "LIST" OF VEHICLES TO BE RECALLED SO IT WILL NOT BE FIXED DUE TO A VIN NUMBER SELECTION METHODOLOGY THAT HE DIDN'T DISCLOSE. I HAVE NO WAY TO FIX THE VEHICLE. THE REASON IS BECAUSE NEW SOFTWARE MUST BE FLASHED ON THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE DESIGN FLAW AND I HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW IF THE NEW SOFTWARE ON THE PCM THAT WAS DEVELOPED FOR F150S THROUGH YEARS 2011 - 2013 IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE 2010 F150S AND FORD WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO TALK TO ANY TECHNICAL REPS TO DETERMINE IF THAT IS POSSIBLE. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE TECHNICIANS CANNOT DETERMINE SYSTEM SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY EITHER AND ARE EXTREMELY RISK ADVERSE TO DOING ANYTHING THAT WAS NOT APPROVED BY FORD CONSIDERING THE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE AND OTHERS LIKE IT ARE JUST TICKING TIME BOMBS ON THE HIGHWAY. MINE WILL BE PARKED UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE BY NHTSA OR FORD.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ENGINE SHUT OFF. WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF. AND I ROLLED ACROSS INTERSECTION, LOST BRAKES AND STEERING. IN MOTION MOST OF THE TIME. ON CITY STREETS.

REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER, DOESN'T WORK. THERE IS A MAJOR MALFUNCTION WITH F-150'S CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. IS THE GOVERNMENT GONNA LET FORD SLIDE BY AGAIN ON THIS? WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE.

IVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM NOW TWICE IN A ROW WITH THE FUEL PUMP 20A FUEL IN THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD GETTING HOT AND MELTING THEN BLOWING THE FUSE. THIS FUSE IF IT HADN'T BLOWN WOULD HAVE CAUGHT THE FUSE BOX ON FIRE. FORD MAKES A KIT TO BYPASS THE TINY FUSE TO RELICATE IT TO A LARGER FUSE IN AN OPEN SPOT. THERE ARE MULTIPLE OTHERS IN NUMEROUS FORUMS WHO STATE THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD HAS NEVER ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE THAT CAN TURN BAD IF THE FUSE DOES NOT POP.

2012. WENT TO GREAT LAKES FORD LUDINGTON MI. PAINT ON ROCKER PANEL WAS BLISTERING UP WITH WATER UNDERNEATH. AT WHERE THE DOORS LATCH ON HOOK .THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING.IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. NOW RUSTING VERY BAD CALLED IN 4/17/18. FORD STILL WILL NOT DO ANYTHING . I NOW PUT OIL ON IT TO SLOW IT DOWN .IM VERY WORRIED THAT IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. THAT THE DOORS WILL COME OPEN. IT'S. ON BOTH SIDES . I HAVE 103000 MILES ON IT. THE SEAT BELTS GO THROUGH THE DOORS SO IF THE DOORS OPEN I WOULD BE OUT OF THE TRUCK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

AFTER TURNING ON THE REAR DEFROSTER, THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR GLASS PANEL SHATTERED.
