2010 FORD F-150 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD A TICKING AND KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A ROCKER ARM OR ROD MALFUNCTION. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO CALL NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

CAB LEAKS AFTER RAIN CAN BE A MOLD ISSUE SOME TIME WHEN TURNING GOING OFF CURBS OR HITTING MONTHS YOU HEAR A BANGING NOISE THE DRIVESHAFT IT WILL POP WHEN TAKE OFF I HAD IT GREASE BY FORD LITTLE BIT BETTER ONCE IN AWHILE STILL DOES. ALL THIS STILL GO ON

THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED AFTER TURNING ON THE REAR DEFROSTER. THE PASSENGER PORTION OF THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. THIS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MINUTES AFTER TURNING ON THE DEFROSTER. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE LOW 20S. THERE WAS AN EXTREMELY LOUD BANG AND THEN WE NOTICED THE GLASS WAS SHATTERED.

TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR AT TIMES. OCCASIONALLY IT DOWNSHIFTS AND THE TRUCK SLOWS DOWN FAST, OTHER TIMES IT FEELS LIKE IT JUST SLIPS OUT OF GEAR ALTOGETHER INTO NEUTRAL, THEN THE ENGINE RPMS GO HIGH AND THE TRUCK SLOWS DOWN. BOTH TIMES, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION GOES BACK INTO GEAR, IT CREATES A LARGE THUMP SOUND AND THE TRUCK JUMPS, OCCASIONALLY SPINNING MY TIRES. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND WHILE DRIVING FROM A STOP SIGN/LIGHT AND HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK. AT LEAST 10 TO 15 TIMES PER MONTH.

IN ADDITION TO THE 2013 FORD F150 TRANSMISSION RECALL, I HAVE A 2010 F150 THAT HAD THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHERE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS TO FIRST GEAR AT SPEED. I WAS GOING 70 MPH WITH MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER ON A VIRGINIA INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHEN MINE DROPPED FROM 6TH TO 1ST GEAR IN AUGUST 2011. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND SAFELY GET IT OFF THE ROAD, BUT THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON LONGER THAN THE CURRENT RECALL REPORTS. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD SHOULD ADDRESS, SINCE MY TRANSMISSION STILL HAS A HARD SHIFT FROM TIME TO TIME, SO I DON'T FEEL THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE MEGATRONICS UNIT (TWICE), AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER, BUT IT IS STILL THE SAME TRANSMISSION AND DRIVE TRAIN WHICH I STILL FEEL IS NOT 100% FIXED. I SEE NOW THAT THE RECALL MIGHT BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE 2011 AND 2012 F150S, BUT I FEEL IT SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THOSE 2010 MODELS TOO, SINCE I HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2010 F150.

TURNED ON MY REAR DEFROSTER AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. ABOUT TWO MILES DOWN THE ROAD THE BACK SPLIT WINDOW BLOWS OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2010AND2011 F150. THIS IS A LOT OF MONEY TO REPLACE ON SOMEONE'S DIME THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM.

MY 2010 F150 STARTED GETTING CARBON MONOXIDE COMING THROUGH THE CABIN HEATING SYSTEM. THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND BOLTS BREAKING DUE TO RUSTING OUT AND ALLOWING CARBON MONOXIDE TO SEEP INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND INTO THE CABIN. I AS THE DRIVER BECAME ILL FOR 2 DAYS AS I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THE POISON WAS COMING INTO THE CABIN AT FIRST. I HAD A 70 MILE HIGHWAY DRIVE TO GET HOME. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD SEVERE RUSTING THROUGHOUT THE DRIVE TRAIN STARTING AT 3 YEARS OLD. FORD HAS NEVER ACCEPTED ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. I WANT TO BE CLEAR ON THIS AS IN HOPES OF NOT HAVING THIS HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. I FEEL I COULD HAVE DIED FROM THIS POISONING. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE DO THIS, ESPECIALLY ONE AS NEW AS THIS VEHICLE.
