IT WAS THE WORST ONE SEEING HAS HOW I WAS DOING MAYBE 60. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND A PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK, SO DOWNLOADED SOME NEW SOFTWARE TO MY COMPUTER AND SAID THAT SHOULD FIX THE ISSUE.

WHEN DECLERATING TO A STOP OR STOPPED THE ENGINE WILL DIE. WHEN I ATTEMPT A RESTART THE ENGINE WILL TRY TO TURN OVER FOR 10-15 SECONDS THEN STOP. AFTER 3 OR 4 ATTEMPS AND GIVING A LITTLE GAS THE TRUCK WILL START. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 5 TIMES TO ME IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO FORD AND THEY DIDNT RETURN ANY CODES SO NOTHING REPAIRED. THEY FIT MY TRUCK WITH A RECORDER AND I AM SUPPOSE TO PRESS A BUTTON NEXT TIME IT DIES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS ISSUE AS I HAVE SEEN DOZENS OF POSTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

THERE WAS A HORRIBLE STORM LAST NIGHT. I GOT INTO MY TRUCK THIS MORNING AND THE ENTIRE BACK SEAT WAS SOAKED! I SPOKE WITH 2 OTHER FORD F150 TRUCK OWNERS AND THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. BOTH OF THEIR ISSUES WERE THE RESULT OF THE EXTERIOR LIGHT ON THE TOP BACK OF THE VEHICLE. I CALLED FORD IN TEMPLE TX. THEY CONFIRMED THEY HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE A COUPLE OF OTHER TIMES AND IT WAS IN FACT THE EXTERIOR LIGHT LEAKING AS IT WAS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED. I HAVE TO NOW PAY FOR THIS MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. THIS SHOULD BE REPORTED AS A RECALL AS IT HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL FORD F150 TRUCK OWNERS. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF FORD! *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW OF THE CREW CAB SHATTERED ONCE THE DEFROSTER WAS ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO ASSIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000.

I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES SINCE NEW WITH VARIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, INCLUDING HARSH SHIFTING, SHUDDER, AND NOW THE DRIVETRAIN LOCKING UP OR VIOLENTLY DOWNSHIFTING, ETC. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REMOVED TWICE FOR EVALUATION AND INSPECTION. WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON 2/2/12 THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY DECELERATED TO A STOP, REAR WHEELS WERE LOCKED UP AFTER SLIGHT DEPRESSION ON BRAKE PEDAL PREPARING TO MAKE A TURN. THE SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. THE TRUCK WAS STOPPED IN ROAD AND WOULD NOT MOVE. TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FROM INCIDENT. FORD RESPONDS THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM; THEREFORE NO CORRECTIVE ACTION IS RECOMMENDED. WEB MESSAGE BOARDS REPORT A SIMILAR PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS VIOLENT DOWNSHIFT FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR. FORD WILL NOT PROVIDE AN ASSESSMENT ON VEHICLE SAFETY, DECLINING TO COMMENT EITHER BECAUSE THE PERSON SPEAKING FOR THEM IS NOT QUALIFIED, OR THAT THEY CANNOT ASSESS UNLESS THEY CAN REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME, I WILL NOT PUT MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

AFTER OWNING MY TRUCK FOR NEARLY 2 YEARS I BEGAN TO NOTICE A MUSTY SMELL. LAST WEEKEND MY KIDS WERE RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT AND NOTICED WATER POOLED ON THE CENTER SEATBELT FRAME. I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT THE SLIDING GLASS WINDOW WAS PARTIALLY OPENED, BUT IT WASN'T. BESIDES IT WAS NO WHERE NEAR WHERE THE WATER WAS POOLING. THEN WE NOTICED IN BOTH CORNERS OF THE HEADLINER DARK WATER STAINS. JUST BY LOOKING AT THE CAB OF THE TRUCK IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE IT IS THE MOLDING THAT EXTENDS ABOUT 18 INCHES UP THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. I'M THINKING IT WASN'T PROPERLY SEALED ON THE ROOF. I AM SURE IT HAS BEEN LEAKING SINCE DAY ONE,BUT WITH THE DROUGHT HERE IN HOUSTON FOR THE LAST YEAR I AM JUST NOW NOTICING SINCE IT RAINS AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK. FORD IS SAYING IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. EXCUSE ME BUT WHY IS THIS CONSIDERED WARRANTY WORK WHEN IT IS CLEARLY CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THE TRUCK. FIRST TIME FORD OWNER BUT NEVER AGAIN. I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO EXPLAIN ALL THE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKE ISSUES. *TR

ENGINE STALLS AT RANDOM SPEEDS AFTER BRAKING OR COMING TO A STOP. MOST RECENTLY WHILE BRAKING FOR A TURN, RIGHT HAND FORK AT ABOUT 35 MPH, ENGINE STALLED LOSING POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND COMMON FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND ON THE INTERNET. ALL 3 LOCAL FORD DEALERS ACT LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. I AM SURE THAT IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CORRECT IT, BUT THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION. IT IS A 2010 "NEW" TRUCK AND I WONT LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT WITH THE KIDS BECAUSE IT IS DANGEROUS. *TR
