2010 FORD F-150 Complaints

STRONG EXHAUST FUMES IN CAB SINCE FALL 2016 DEALER UNABLE AND/OR UNWILLING TO DEAL WITH IT. I WAS TOLD TO HAVE A WINDOW OPEN AND AIR CIRCULATION ACTIVE. HOWEVER THE A/C IS AFFECTED NOW ALSO. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE SINCE IT GIVES ME A HEADACHE IN A SHORT TIME

I WAS INVOLVED IN A SINGLE-VEHICLE ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE VEHICLE STRUCK A POLE DEAD CENTER ON THE FRONT BUMPER, SPEED APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, COLLAPSING THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS DUE TO THE EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS ACCIDENT RESULTED IN FRACTURES TO RIBS, STERNUM, AND 2 VERTEBRAE.

MY HIGH SCHOOL DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING OUR 2010 F150 ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL TODAY AND IT FAILED IN THE LEFT TURN LANE AT A BUSY INTERSECTION, AND IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. PEOPLE WERE HONKING THEIR HORNS AND MY DAUGHTER MISSED CLASSES. SHE COULD HAVE BEEN RE-END AND INJURED FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A GARAGE AND THEY SAID IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE RELATED TO A FUSE/FUSE BOX WIRE AND THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A FUSEBOX BYPASS KIT THAT FORD HAS PUT TOGETHER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED. HTTPS://CA.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-C21953_DS740770. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! SHE COULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED AND INJURED FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE! REPAIR COST TO INSTALL FORD'S BYPASS KIT WAS $360. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND DID NOT NOTIFY US TO MY KNOWLEDGE.

LIKE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS, DRIVING AND PUT REAR DEFROSTER ON AND A MINUTE LATER HEARD A GUNSHOT LIKE NOISE AND MY BACK REAR RIGHT WINIDOW EXPLODED. DOGS IN THE BACKSEAT, WAS NOT PRETTY AND SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME WHILE DRIVING. ISN'T THERE A RECALL ON THIS YET?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. AFTER FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES BEFORE FINALLY SUCCEEDING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY SIX OTHER TIMES AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE 20 AMPS FUEL RELAY FUSE AND THE HIGH POWER RELAY WERE DAMAGED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

FRONT BRAKES, FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. PUT NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS ON IT AND 6 MONTHS LATER DOING THE SAME THING. I KEEP HAVING TO TIGHTEN LUG NUTS BECAUSE OF IT. FORD SERVICE ADVISOR SAYS UNFORTUNATELY YEAR MODELS 2009- 2014 HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ROTORS WARPING AND FORD PARTS OR AFTER MARKET PARTS WILL NOT FIX IT. HE SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM IN 2015 BUT THERE THERE IS NOT A FIX FOR MY YEAR MODEL? I DRIVE THE INTERSTATES A LOT AND I AM AFRAID A WHEEL IS GOING TO COME OFF.

MANIFOLD BOLTS RUSTING OFF ON 4.6L 3V ENGINE. THIS CAUSES EXHAUST LEAK UNDER HOOD AND EXCESSIVE HEAT TO THE OTHER PARTS NEAR THE ENGINE. BECAUSE SMELL IS APPARENT AT IDLE.

MY TRUCK CRANKS BUT WON'T START. THE FUSE TO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS BLOWN. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY TRUCK OWNERS AND FORD IS OFFERING A BYPASS KIT FOR THIS SYSTEM FOR $400-$500. SHOULDN'T THIS BE A RECALL IF THEY'RE HAVING TO INSTALL A BYPASS KIT?

PASSENGER SIDE PANEL OF POWERED REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WITH A LOUD BANG. THIS WAS IN AN OEM PART REPLACED FOR THE SAME REASON IN 2014. I DID NOT HAVE THE DEFROST ON . I MADE A 4 MILE ROUND TRIP AND AS I PULLED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND TURNED OFF THE KEY IT WENT.

THE 20 AMP FUSE FOR THE FUEL PUMP IS MELTING IN THE FUSE BLOCK. THIS IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY FORD DEALERS. THIS 2010 YEAR IS THE PROBLEM EVERYONE IS HAVING. FORD HAS YET TO HAVE A RECALL BUT WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS IT IS NOT GOING TO LONG UNTIL SOMEONE IS STRANDED AND THEY BYPASS THE FUSE AND START A FIRE. FORD DOES NEED TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM .I DO NOT HAVE ANY PICTURES OF MINE I CHANGED OVER THE WEEKEND BUT THERE IS PLENTY ON LINE THAT IS HOW WE FOUND WHY MY TRUCK WOULD NOT START. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A FIRE MAY START FROM THIS MELTING OF THE FUSE BLOCK.
