2010 FORD F-150 Complaints

REAR DEFROSTER WAS ON FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES. AFTER PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY AND STOPPING REAR PASSENGER REPORTED A FUNNY SMELL. AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND WHILE STEPPING OUT THE REAR LIGHT ON PASSENGER SIDE(WHICH HAS DEFROST WIRES RUNNING THROUGH IT) SHATTERED WITH A LOUD POP. THE GLASS REMAINED IN PLACE BUT HAS SPIDERWEBS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE LIGHT. *TR

LEAVING RED LIGHT, TRUCK STALLED. OIL LIGHT CAME ON, LOST POWER STEERING, BRAKE. WAS ABLE TO COAST AT AN ANGLE TO THE SIDE. COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR TRAFFIC JAM. PUT TRUCK IN PARK, WAITED A MINUTE, TURNED BACK ON AND GAVE IT GAS. RAN FINE AFTER THAT. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP NEXT DAY. THEY SAID WOULD NOT BE ANY WAY TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITHOUT PULLING ENGINE APART. SUGGESTED MULTI POINT INSPECTION AND TUNE UP. DID NOT MENTION THIS ISSUE OCCURRING PREVIOUSLY OR THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE ONLINE. THEY FOUND A DUSTY AIR INTAKE SENSOR THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM. CHANGED SPARK PLUGS AND PERFORMED TUNE UP & OIL CHANGE. INCIDENT HAPPENED AGAIN LEAVING GAS STATION PUMP ON DEC 29, 2014. WHEN RESTARTED, IT CRANKED SEVERAL TIMES BUT WOULDN'T FIRE UP. TRIED 3 TIMES BEFORE SUCCESSFUL START. RAN FINE AFTER THAT. AFRAID A STALL AT HIGH SPEED OR WHEN PULLING MY HORSE AND TRAILER WILL CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENT. HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS OF FUEL PURGE VALVE OR THROTTLE BODY BUTTERFLY VALVE CAUSING THIS. NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. *JS

I LEFT FOR WORK IN THE MORNING AND I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST BECAUSE WE HAD A HEAVY FROST OVERNIGHT. WINDOW WAS FINE WHEN I GOT OUT OF TRUCK AT WORK. IT WAS A 10 MINUTE DRIVE TO WORK. WHEN I GOT BACK INTO TRUCK 10 HOURS LATER TO LEAVE WORK, I SAW THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE THREE PIECE REAR WINDOW WAS BROKEN. THE GLASS DID NOT FALL OUT OF THE FRAME SO IT WAS NOT FROM AN IMPACT. AIR TEMP STAYED JUST BELOW FREEZING ALL DAY. HAD TO SPEND ROUGHLY AN HOUR ON THE PHONE WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND MY FORD DEALER TO GET THE PART ORDERED. IT WILL BE FOUR DAYS TILL IT WILL BE FIXED. I JUST HOPE NOTHING HAPPENS THAT WILL CAUSE THE GLASS TO FALL OUT OF THE FRAME. I DRIVE MY TRUCK AT LEAST 6 DAYS A WEEK SO I CANNOT BE WITHOUT IT. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *JS

ACCELERATOR STUCK TO FLOORBOARD. APPLIED MAXIMUM BRAKING UNTIL BRAKES FADED AND WERE NO LONGER EFFECTIVE IN DECELERATION. TURNED OFF IGNITION AND COASTED TO THE CURB. AFTER 3-5 MINUTES, RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND VEHICLE FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. PURCHASED THIS TRUCK USED AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE ACCELERATOR WAS APPLIED FULLY. IT WILL BE THE LAST. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER COMPLETELY SO POWER STEERING WAS NON-FUNCTIONAL. WAS ABLE, WITH MUCH DIFFICULTY, TO GUIDE THE VEHICLE OFF OF BUSY ROAD AND ON TO SIDE STREET. DARN LUCKY I WASN'T INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO CROSSROADS FORD IN CARY, N.C. HERE IS WORD FOR WORD WHAT THE MECHANIC WROTE. "VEHICLE TOWED IN. CUSTOMER STATES VEHICLE TURNS OVER BUT WON'T START. CHECK AND ADVISE. "COULD NOT DUPLICATE CONCERN. RAN OASIS. NO CODES. READ PAST HOTLINE REPORTS FOR BAD PIN FIT FOR FUSE 27 IN UNDER HOOD FUSE PANEL. TRIED TO RELOCATE TO DIFFERENT LOCATION. WIRE TERMINAL DAMAGED DURING REMOVAL. INSTALLED INLINE FUSE HOLDER TO FUEL PUMP WIRE. INSTALLED 20 AMP FUSE. TEST DROVE AND NO PROBLEMS AT THIS TIME." SO BASICALLY, THIS WAS A FLAW IN MANUFACTURE REGARDING PIN FIT FOR FUSE 27 THAT CAUSED VEHICLE TO CEASE POWER WHILE DRIVING AND ENDANGERED PASSENGERS. I CALLED FORD SERVICE AT 800-392-3673 AND CASE WAS OPENED. CASE # [XXX]. CUSTOMER SERVICE REP AT CROSSROADS FORD WAS [XXX] AND MECHANIC WAS [XXX] . I SPOKE WITH SERVICE MANAGER [XXX] AND HE WAS MADE AWARE OF SITUATION AND I'M WAITING FOR HIS REPLY AS TO IF THERE WILL BE COMPENSATION.

STARTED CREW CAB F150 FX4 AND TURNED ON INTERIOR DEFROSTER. APPROX. 5 MINS LATER, WHILE STILL IN PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY, TURNED ON REAR DEFROSTER. 3-4 MINUTES LATER, WHILE BACKING OUT THE DRIVEWAY, I HEARD A LOUD BANG! I STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND EXITED THE TRUCK TO SEE IF I HAD HIT ANYTHING. BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT NEAR ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE DRIVEWAY, I PROCEEDED OUT THE DRIVEWAY ONLY TO NOTICE THE REAR, PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW (OF THREE) HAD SHATTERED. WINDOW WAS STILL IN PLACE BUT COMPLETELY SHATTERED. WILL BE CONTACTING FORD TO FIND A REMEDY FOR THIS. *TR
