2010 FORD F-150 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET, THE VEHICLE WAS SUDDENLY UNABLE TO STOP BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH COMPLETE BRAKE LOSS, AND THE BRAKE FLUID WARNING LAMP SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ABLE TO STOP ME AND ALLOW ME TO SAFELY PULL OVER. NO FLUID LEAKAGE WAS DISCOVERED UPON INITIAL LOOK BUT THE RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY. THE SOLUTION INVOLVED LOCATING THE MISSING BRAKE FLUID WHICH HAD LEAKED FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER, RESULTING IN THE BRAKE LOSS. UPON REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER, THE BRAKES ARE OKAY NOW. THIS PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL TO THE SUMMARY IDENTIFIED UNDER INVESTIGATION PE-16-003 (SEE ATTACHED). *TR

NOTICED A FLUID LEAK WHEN VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. DISCOVERED IT WAS RED TRANSMISSION FLUID COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE ELECTRICAL PLUG TO THE TRANSMISSION IS WET. THE TRUCK IS BABIED AND VERY LIGHTLY USED WITH ONLY 19,311 MILES ON IT.

I WAS PARKED IN MY TRUCK, WARMING IT UP ON A ~10 DEGREE MORNING. THE BACK GLASS HAD A LAYER OF ICE AND I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST. A FEW MINUTES LATER, WHILE STILL PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, I HEARD A LOUD POP. THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK GLASS WAS SHATTERED. IT IS A POWER SLIDING, TINTED BACK GLASS IN THREE SECTIONS.

WHILE USING THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER, I HEARD A LOUD THUD. I LOOKED BACK AND SAW A SHATTERED REAR PASSENGER WINDOW. ALSO NOTICED SMOKE FROM LOWER CORNER. I WAS REVERSING OUT OF DRIVEWAY AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED. OUTSIDE TEMP WAS 20F.

TRANSMISSION WON'T DOWN SHIFT ,OR DOWNSHIFTS WHEN NOT SUPPOSE TO, WHEN STARTING OUT OR SLOWING DOWN THERE IS SEVERE SHUTTERING FROM THE DRIVETRAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD POP AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON. AFTER CLOSING ALL DOORS REPEADTLY, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LIGHT SAYS ITS STILL AJAR. THE DANGEROUS PART IS THAT THE CAB LIGHTS STAY ON THE WHOLE TIME WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. ALSO, WHEN DONE DRIVING AND AFTER LOCKING THE TRUCK, THE LIGHTS STILL STAY ON RUNNING DOWN THE BATTERY.

I LEFT HOME FOR WORK ON 12/8/2016. THE TEMP WAS 7 DEGREES OUT AND MY BACK WINDOW WAS SLIGHTLY ICED OVER. I TURNED THE REAR DEFROST ON TO CLEAR UP THE WINDOW. WITHIN TEN MINUTES I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN GOING OFF. UPON INSPECTION I REALIZED THAT MY REAR 3 PEACE WINDOW HAD SPIDER CRACKED INTO THOUSANDS OF PEACES. THE SOUND IT MADE SENT ME OFF THE ROAD TO A FRANTIC STOP. THIS WAS IN TOWN GOING 30MPH. I'M SO GLAD MY KIDS WEREN'T IN THE REAR SEAT AS THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF SMALL GLASS PEACES. THIS WILL SET ME BACK $600 AND I CANT IMAGINE EVER USING THE REAR DEFROST BUTTON AGAIN AS IT MIGHT BE A FAULTY SWITCH THAT CAUSED THIS OR A FAULTY WINDOW. IT SEEMS THE MORE I FIND ON THE INTERNET THE MORE I REALIZE THIS IS FAIRLY COMMON. FORD MOTOR CO.SHOULD REALLY DO SOMETHING!

ON A 20 DEGREE MORNING I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST AND IN ABOUT FIVE MINUTES TIME I HEAR A LOUD NOISE. UPON LOOKING AROUND I FOUND THE BACK WINDOW HAD SHATTERED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME, THANKFULLY, BECAUSE THE SOUND WAS A LOT LIKE A GUN BLAST AND IF DRIVING I COULD HAVE SWERVED, IT STARTLED ME SO MUCH. THE WINDOW IS SHATTERED INTO THOUSANDS OF PIECES AND VISIBILITY OUT OF THAT WINDOW IS SEVERELY HAMPERED. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW AND IT EFFECTS THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING (IN MOTION) THE ENGINE RANDOMLY SHUTS DOWN CAUSING YOU TO LOSE BOTH STEERING AND BRAKING POWER. THIS HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING AND THE VEHICLE IS HARD TO CONTROL. SPEED DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A FACTOR BUT IT QUITS WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. *TR
