2012 FORD F-150 Complaints

A TICKING/KNOCKING NOISE ON PASSENGER SIDE OF ENGINE. TOOK TO FORD DEALER WITH 52,905 MILES ON 7/12/16 AND STATED FUEL INJECTOR NOISE. TOOK TO SAME FORD DEALER ON 11/7/18 FOR SAME NOISE, ONLY LOUDER, AND DEALER DETECTED NO UNUSUAL NOISE. TOOK TO DIFFERENT DEALER A 3RD TIME ON 3/27/19 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND STATED "NOISE FOUND TO BE NORMAL CHARACTERISTICS" AND WAS GIVEN A COPY OF "SPECIAL SERVICE MESSAGE 47787 WHICH ADDRESSED A "TICK TAP AND/OR TYPEWRITER NOISE AT IDLE" ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF FORD WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURES WARRANTY AND THE SOUND IS ONLY GETTING WORSE WHICH IS WHY I KEEP TAKING IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. THE SOUND IS NOT HEARD WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST STARTED, ONLY WHEN IT STARTS TO WARM UP AND IS QUITE LOUD AT AN IDLE. IF THIS ENGINE WERE TO BLOW UP GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN INJURY AND/OR FATAL CRASH.

REAR WINDOW EXPLODED. I WAS DRIVING AND THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES AHEAD OF ME OR BEHIND ME. THERE IS NO INDICATION OF ANYTHING STRIKING THE WINDOW.

VEHICLE IN FORWARD MOTION AT LOW AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS UNEXPECTEDLY! LOW GEAR-HIGH GEAR-4WD-PARK!!! ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS ON HIGHWAY. NEED TO HAVE REPAIRED TO BA ABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY.

I BOUGHT IT WITH @ 10,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT [XXX] WITH IT FROM DAY ONE. FIRST OFF I PUT TWO NEW FRONT ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS ALL THE WAY AROUND AND BOTH IDLER PULLEYS WERE SQUEALING SO I REPLACED THEM . THEN AT @ 19,000 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH CVJ HALF SHAFTS . NOW AT 45,000 MILES THEY ARE BOTH SHOT AGAIN THE CVJ HALF SHAFTS ARE . ON THE FIRST OF JANUARY THIS YEAR I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING GOOD SUDDENLY IT BEGAN TO CUT OUT AND THE POWER FELL OFF ON ITS FACE. I PURCHASED AN OBD11 CODE READER TO TRY AND DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. IT TELLS ME THAT RANDOM MISFIRE DETECTED AND THAT CYLINDERS 5 6 7 8 ARE MISFIRING . LET ME JUST SAY THAT 4 MONTHS LATER AFTER GOING THRU EVERYTHING FROM THE PLUGS WIRES INJECTORS AND REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP MODULE ASSEMBLY IT IS STILL NOT RUNNING AND I'M AT MY END OF TRYING TO GET THE PEICE OF $*** RUNNING. THERE IS NO WAY IN [XXX] AT 45,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE THAT I SHOULD BE HAVING ALL THE [XXX] WITH THE VEHICLE. I LIVE IN NEW MEXICO AND WE DO HAVE A LEMON LAW HERE. I AM BEYOND THE SHADOW OF A DOUBT SURE THAT THIS TRUCK IS A [XXX] LEMON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN) BY BRANDON FORD (9090 E ADAMO DR, TAMPA, FL 33619, (813) 246-3673), BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT STATED THAT BIG MIKE NAUGHTON FORD (LOCATED AT 150 S HAVANA ST, AURORA, CO 80012, (303) 343-1900) EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW AN ISSUE WITH THE DRIVER TRAN MODULE HAS BEEN CAUSING MY TRUCK TO GO FROM ANY GEAR INTO FIRST, LOCKING TIRES UP AND CAUSING ISSUES WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. ** SAFETY RECALL WAS MADE ON DRIVER TRAN MODULE **. HOWEVER, MY TRUCK IS NOW IN WORSE CONDITION WITHOUT A FIX TO THE ISSUE, BUT MY TRUCK IS NOW SHUTTING THE ENTIRE COMPUTER MODULE DOWN AND I HAVE FURTHER TRANSMISSION ISSUES.

MY TIMING CHAIN ON MY F1 50 WAS STRETCHED AND I PAID OVER $8000 TO HAVE IT FIXED AND HERE IT IS NOT EVEN A YEAR LATER AND IT IS STRETCHED AGAIN. WITH ALL OF THE SUPPOSEDLY NEW AND UPDATED PARTS FORD OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T CARE ABOUT WHAT VEHICLES WE BUY BECAUSE THEY CLEARLY DON'T WANT US TO BUY THEIRS SINCE I DON'T WANT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THE RIGHT WAY!

TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL ON IT DUE TO IT GOING INTO FIRST GEAR UNEXPECTEDLY. TOOK TRUCK TO CLOSEST DEALERSHIP TWO WEEKS AGO AND HAD THE RECALL SERVICE COMPLETED. WAS TOLD TO EXPECT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO BE ON FOR THREE OR FOUR DAYS. WHEN IT STAYED ON A WEEK I CALLED THEM BACK TO DISCUSS THE LIGHT STILL BEING ON. RESCHEDULED A FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENT FOR APRIL 12. ON APRIL 5 AND APRIL 7 THE TRUCK HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE RECALL WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX. GOING APPROX 50MPH WHEN THE TRUCK WENT INTO FIRST GEAR WITH WHEEL HOP AND SOME FISH TAILING. WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL BASICALLY GO TO ALL ZERO'S AND IT TAKES THE TRUCK BEING TURNED OFF FOR THE COMPUTER TO RESET AND ALLOW TRUCK TO DRIVE NORMALLY. JUST WANTED TO DOCUMENT HERE SINCE TRUCK GOES BACK TO DEALERSHIP TOMORROW.
