2012 FORD F-150 Complaints

VERY LITTLE TO NO BRAKES AT ALL. OF COURSE THE SAME ISSUE EVERYONE ELSE IS HAVING. VACUUM PUMP/ BRAKE BOOSTER! DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND HOW THEY HAVEN'T FIXED THIS ISSUE YET IS BEYOND ME.

HARD BRAKE PEDAL RESULTING IN NO OR VERY LITTLE BRAKING WHEN ENGINE IS COLD AND VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, EVERY DAY, EVERY TIME I START THE VEHICLE. ONCE THE PUMP BEGINS WORKING OR BECOMES UNSTUCK, I DO HAVE BRAKES, HOWEVER I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL RESULT IN BRAKE FAILURE AND AN ACCIDENT WITH SERIOUS INJURY TO ME AND MY PASSENGERS. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A RECALL ON CERTAIN MODELS FOR THIS ISSUE RESULTING FROM A BAD VACUUM PUMP. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS SAID MY VEHICLE IS NOT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. IT OBVIOUSLY IS, BECAUSE IT IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM INVOLVED IN THE RECALL.

MY TRANSMISSION STICKS IN ONE GEAR, SHIFTS VERY HARD, AND DOWN SHIFTS UNEXPECTEDLY. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS, BUT FORD HAS NOT STARTED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. IT IS CAUSING ADDITIONAL DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE THE MORE I DRIVE IT. THE RECALL WAS STARTED IN FEBUARY OF 2019.

THE TRUCK HAS A RECALL 16N02 OPEN ON IT. I JUST PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND A FEW YEARS AGO IT WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AT 99,000 MILES AND THE PASSENGER BEDSIDE WAS REPLACED, BUT INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALLED IT SO IT HAS A BRANDED TITLE. DEALER AND FORD ARE REFUSING TO DO THE REPAIR DUE TO THE TITLE STATUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT IT FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE CONTACT LIFTED HER FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND COASTED THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO COMMUNITY FORD LINCOLN OF BLOOMINGTON (2200 S WALNUT ST, BLOOMINGTON, IN 47401, (812) 331-2200) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,624.

NOVEMBER 28TH. 2019. BACK WINDSHIELD RIGHT WINDOW SHATTERED INTO 1000 PEICES FROM DOING NOTHING. THE TRUCK WAS IDLING AND IN PARK ON PAVEMENT. I HAD THE REAR DEFROSTER ON. SUDDENLY HEARED A BIG BANG. LOOKED AROUND AND NOTICED THE WINDOW BROKE. NO EVIDENCE OF IT BEING STRUCK OR HIT. IT WAS ABOUT 33 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND SNOWING/SLEETING.

WHILE GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS AROUND 10 MPH THE TRUCK TENDS TO MAKE A "CLUNK" SOUND AND THE ENGINE REVS REAL HIGH - AS IF IT MISSED A GEAR.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTS TO AN EXTREME LOWER GEAR WHILE DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC. THE OCCURS WHEN YOU FIRST LET OFF THE GAS. (I UNDERSTAND THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL TRUCK).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING.
