2010 FORD F-150 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DEFROST SYSTEM WAS DEFECTIVE. THE REAR DEFROST SYSTEM OVERHEATED, CAUSING THE REAR WINDSHIELD TO FRACTURE. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE DEALER REPLACED THE REAR WINDSHIELD AND DID NOT PROVIDE A DIAGNOSTIC TO LOCATE THE CAUSE OF THE DEFROST SYSTEM OVERHEATING. THE WINDSHIELD WAS NOT REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000. ...UPDATED 04/12/16 *BF *TR

TRAVELING AT 45 MPH ON A HIGHWAY I APPLIED BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN WHEN THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE SLOWING THE VEHICLE, HAD TO DOWNSHIFT AND APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. TOWED VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED DRAWING BRAKE FLUID INTO THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. NO VISIBLE SIGN OF A BRAKE FLUID LEAK. MASTER CYLINDER AND POWER BRAKE BOOSTER MUST BE REPLACED. VEHICLE HAS 80,000 MILES . SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM IN A RECALL ON 2014-15 F150 BUT NO SUCH RECALL FOR THE 2010 F150.

BOUGHT NEW IN APRIL 2010, FORD XLT150. NOW AT 73K MI. LAST TWO WEEKS. COULD NOT START TWICE AFTER FILLING UP. HAD TO KEEP FLOORING VEHICLE TO CRANK OVER.HI PERFORMANCE BATTERY IS TWO MTHS OLD. DIED AT RED LIGHT THREE TIMES. DIED AT YIELD SIGN TWICE.DIED AT BANK ATM ONCE. LOST STEERING CONTROL WHEN ENGINE DIED COMING OUT OF YIELD SIGN. LUCKILY HIT NO ONE.TOOK IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP,ASKED ABOUT RECALL NOTICE OR IF OTHERS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. NEGATIVE RESPONSE ON BOTH. TOLD THEM THOUSANDS OF SAME PROBLEM POSTED ON INTERNET. THEY TOLD ME MANY PEOPLE JUST POST STUFF. MANY POSTERS SAID FORD DEALERS COMPUTERS SHOWED NO PROBLEM WHEN TRUCK IS HOOKED UP.TAKING IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SHOP. TOO DANGEROUS TO KEEP DRIVING. WILL INJURE SOMEONE AND MYSELF,OR WORSE. WILL BE NOTIFYING FORD.

2010 FORD F150 WITH JUST OVER 60,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE FAILS AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN ENTIRELY. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE TRUCK COMES TO A STOP, BUT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING CASUALLY AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON CITY STREETS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. PERSONAL INVESTIGATION HAS LED TO FINDING NUMEROUS REPORTS ONLINE OF THE SAME OR WORSE PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL/YEAR OF FORD TRUCK. RESEARCH HAS LEAD TO SHOW THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE A FACTORY ISSUE WITH THE FUEL/AIR SYSTEM ON THE VEHICLE. NUMEROUS OTHER REPORTS ONLINE OF THE TRUCK FAILING WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN CAUSING ACCIDENTS IN SOME INSTANCES. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS IT ENDANGERS THE LIVES OF THOSE IN THIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHERS ON THE ROADWAY. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED IMMEDIATELY BY THE MANUFACTURER TO RECTIFY THIS WRONGDOING.

I OWN A 2010 FORD F-150 FX4 PICKUP, PURCHASED NEW OCTOBER 2009. APPROXIMATELY IN 2013 THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER STOPPED WORKING. THE TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH A POWER REAR SLIDING WINDOW FROM FORD. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. THE FORD DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISED ME THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE WINDOW ITSELF, AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, OR FORD AT ALL. I HAVE NOTICED MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB FROM OWNERS OF FORD PICKUPS OF THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL, THE MAJORITY OF THEM EXPERIENCING BROKEN REAR WINDOWS, SMOKE AND DAMAGE. LIKE MANY, I HAVE A SMALL CHILD THAT SITS IN A REAR FACING CHILD'S CAR SEAT, AND AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IT IS VERY APPARENT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE, BUT IS NOT WILLING TO ADMIT TO IT, OR TAKE STEPS TO ADDRESS IT. THIS ISSUE IS A TICKING TIME BOMB FOR FORD PICKUP OWNERS, ALWAYS WORRYING IF IT WILL HAPPEN TO THEM, AND WHEN.

WHILE USING THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTERS, THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW SHATTERED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME, FORD COVERED IT AS A WARRANTY. THIS TIME THEY WILL NOT COVER IT SINCE IT IS OVER 100,000 MILES. BOTH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE CUSTOMER CARE REPRESENTATIVES ACKNOWLEDGE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. BOTH TIMES THE WINDOW SHATTERED OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED IN JUNE AND THE SECOND TIME WAS IN FEBRUARY. TEMPERATURES WERE EXTREMELY DIFFERENT. JUNE WAS IN THE MID 70'S AND FEBRUARY WAS 0 - 5F. THE SHATTERED GLASS WENT ALL OVER THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT. CLEAN UP WAS A HAZARD AS THE GLASS IS VERY SHARP.

TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST ON THE VEHICLE THIS MORNING AS IT WAS SITTING STILL WARMING UP. TEMP=40F. CAME OUTSIDE WITH THE BACK GLASS SMOKING AND ON FIRE, MELTING THE PLASTIC TRIM ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE BACK GLASS. MINUTES LATER THE GLASS BROKE, SPIDERING THE ENTIRE PANEL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.

WAS OPERATING THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SECTION OF THE POWER REAR WINDOW SLIDER SHATTERED. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED IT IS A PROBLEM BUT FORD HAS NOT RECALLED. THE LOCAL WINDOW REPAIR COMPANY SAID THAT MOST TIMES IT IS THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT SHATTERS. THE TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND REPAIR IS NOT COVERE.

2010 FORD F150 STALLS WHEN GOING SLOW, AND TURNING LEFT. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ALL POWER I HAD TO PUT IN PARK AND RESTART. TOOK ABOUT 5 TRIES FOR THE TRUCK TO RESTART. IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN ABOUT FIVE MINUTES LATER WHILE MAKING ANOTHER LEFT TURN. ALSO, DIED WHEN I WAS SITTING AT A LIGHT PREPARING TO TURN RIGHT.

I WAS PARKED IN MY VEHICLE, WAS ABOUT 25 DEGREES OUTSIDE I HAD MY REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER ON AFTER ABOUT 10 MINS OF BEING ON THE BACK GLASS PASSENGER SIDE POPPED.
