2010 FORD F-150 Complaints

FILED A COMPLAINT EARLIER IN THE YEAR ABOUT THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, AND FINALLY RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM THE DEALER. I TOOK MY 2010 FORD F-150 IN AND IT WAS DETERMINED THE WIRING HARNESS WAS DEFECTIVE. WELL GREAT...900$ TO GET IF FIXED. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. TRUCK WILL NOT START WITHOUT IT. WOW, I USE TO LOVE FORDS... NEVER AGAIN WILL I PURCHASE A FORD OF ANY KIND. THANKS. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT HEATER QUIT WORKING AFTER MY WIFE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT "GETTING SO HOT IT WAS LITERALLY BURNING HER LEGS". I TOOK APART THE SEAT TODAY TO REPLACE THE HEATING PAD BECAUSE I HAD READ ABOUT THIS BEING A COMMON PROBLEM. TO MY SURPRISE MY WIFE WAS NOT EXAGGERATING. THERE WERE BURN MARKS ON THE FOAM INSULATION AROUND A CONNECTING PIECE OF THE BOTTOM SEAT HEATER. MY TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY, OTHERWISE I PROBABLY WOULD'VE JUST DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALER AND NEVER WITNESSED THIS MYSELF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE BRAKES LOCKED AND THE CALIPERS WERE RED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

TRUCK STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. USUALLY IT IS WHILE COMING TO A STOP BUT OCCASIONALLY IT IS WHILE MAKING A SLOW TURN. THIS MEANS THE POWER STEERING GOES AS DO THE BRAKES. VERY SCARY. THE ENGINE CODES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND SINCE THEY DO NOT SHOW ANYTHING THE TRUCK IS CONSIDERED GOOD. YET IT CONTINUES TO STALL. *TR

ON OR AROUND DEC 2012 I NOTICED A WATER STAIN IN THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE OF THE HEAD LINER. I ASSUMED I MAY HAVE ACCIDENTALLY LEFT THE WINDOW PARTIALLY DOWN CAUSING A WATER STAIN IN THE WINTER MONTHS. I RECENTLY LOST MY JOB SO I'M NOT DRIVING MY TRUCK VERY OFTEN ON APRIL 26TH 2013 AFTER MANY DAYS OF RAIN I NOTICED A LARGE WATER STAIN ALL ALONG THE REAR WINDOW OF THE TRUCK,STAINING UP THE TAN HEAD LINER PRETTY BAD. MY WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED BY 2000 MILES SO I HAD MY HUSBAND TAKE A LOOK AT THE PROBLEM. AS WE TOOK DOWN THE LINER WE NOTICED SLIGHTLY RUSTED SPOTS ALL ALONG THE TRIM AND WATER DRIPPING FROM THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT THAT'S OUTSIDE THE TRUCK NEAR THE TOP OF THE CABIN. MY HUSBAND BELIEVES THAT THE SEAL SURROUNDING THE BRAKE LIGHT HAS A DEFECT. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED ATCHINSON FORD DEALER IN BELLEVILLE MI AND SPOKE TO SERVICE MANAGER HE NEW IMMEDIATELY WHAT I WAS REFERRING TOO SEEMS AS THOUGH THEY MAKE REPAIRS TO THESE NEW AND USED F-150 FREQUENTLY. I ASKED THE MANAGER IF THEIR WAS A RECALL ON THE BRAKE LIGHT AND HE LAUGHED AND SAID "NO,BUT FORDS S DEFINITELY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM.I'M CONCERNED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL BECOME COMPROMISED WITH THE WIRES AS WELL AS MOLDY SMELL THIS HAS CAUSED.I CONTACTED FORDS AND HAVE A CASE NUMBER OPENED UP CONCERNING THIS MATTER,IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THIS BRAKE LIGHT AND OR GASKET SURROUNDING THE WINDOW.IT WILL BE VERY COSTLY TO ME .CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER?A $36 THOUSAND DOLLAR TRUCK SHOULD NOT BE HAVING FAULTY GASKETS/SEALS. I KNOW LONGER UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY BUT I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM. FORDS WOULD NOT HELP IN ANY WAY SO I'M ADDRESSING MY CONCERN IN HOPES YOU CAN ASSIST ME. *TR [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

TURNED ON THE REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER AND AFTER ABOUT 2 MINUTES THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED. *TR

I HAD MY TRUCK PARKED OUTSIDE DURING A HEAVY SNOWFALL DAY AT WORK. I WENT OUT AND STARTED IT TO LET IT WARM UP AND TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST. WHEN I GOT IN TO LEAVE I NOTICED MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAD HAPPENED, NOT IN AN AREA WHERE VANDALISM IS POSSIBLE. AFTER READING THE ONLINE POSTS ABOUT OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM I REALIZED THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. *TR

2010 FORD F-150. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE APPROXIMATELY 28 DEGREES. STARTED VEHICLE AND TURNED ON REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER. DROVE ABOUT 1 MILE AND WAS WAITING ALONE STOPPED AT A LIGHT. HEARD VERY LOUD BANG NOISE CONSISTENT TO A CRASH OR MUFFLED SMALL CALIBER BULLET BEING FIRED. STEPPED OUT OF MY VEHICLE TO CONFIRM I WAS ALONE ON ROAD AND WASN'T IN AN ACCIDENT. (I WAS COMPLETELY ALONE AT 6AM WITH NO OTHER CARS IN SITE). I NOTICED THE RIGHT (PASSENGER) SIDE REAR WINDOW HAD SPIDER WEBBED AND COMPLETED SHATTERED. REAR WINDOW IS 3 PANES, RIGHT MIDDLE, LEFT. RIGHT SIDE WINDOW THAT SHATTERED WAS EXTREMELY HOT TO THE TOUCH COMPARED TO MIDDLE AND LEFT (DRIVER) SIDE. CONTACTING FORD AS I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AS IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY 2010 F150S WITH TRI REAR WINDOWS. *TR

RIGHT PANEL (PASSENGER SIDE) REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. WINDOW IS TINTED (FACTORY) WITH POWER SLIDER AND REAR DEFROSTER. 03/25/2013 ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE (REAR DEFROSTER IN USE). 03/26/2013 TRUCK WAS PARKED AND NOT RUNNING, WENT TO GET IN TRUCK AND DISCOVERED RIGHT PANEL REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED, BUT STILL IN THE FRAME. *TR

ISSUES BEGAN ON FRIDAY MORNING. HAD A WARNING ON DASH INDICATING LEFT REAR DOOR AJAR, WHEN IN FACT THE DOOR WAS CLOSED. TOOK TO DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS PROBABLY A BAD SENSOR AND FOR $400 THEY COULD FIX IT. FAULTY WARNING WILL NOT LET AUTO LOCKS ENGAGE OR ALARM TO SET AS IT IS READING THE DOOR AS OPEN. HUGE SAFETY CONCERN IF YOU ARE TRAVELLING WITH A CHILD, THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK AND YOU HAPPEN TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. POSSIBLE EJECTION OF PASSENGERS. THEN CAME OUT TO THE TRUCK ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND NOTICED THE REAR SEATS WERE WET. UNABLE TO FIND OUT WHY. FURTHER INVESTIGATION TODAY REVEALS THAT THE HEADLINER IS DAMAGED FROM WATER DAMAGE. READING SEVERAL PLACES ONLINE, IT APPEARS THAT THE F-150 HAS A BAD LEAKING PROBLEM FROM THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT ON THE REAR OF THE CAB. THIS WILL NOW HAVE TO BE FIXED AND REPLACED AND THE TRUCK IS HARDLY 3 YEARS OLD. DISAPPOINTED IN THE QUALITY "FORD BUILT" PRODUCTS. *TR
