2012 FORD F-150 Complaints

IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING AN OIL CHANGE, MY TRUCK BEGAN MAKING INSANELY LOUD GRINDING NOISES. I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE FROM KNOXVILLE TO CHATTANOOGA AND BARELY MADE IT TO CLEVELAND. MY TRUCK STALLED, STARTED BACK UP AND I COASTED INTO A PARKING LOT. IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 50. I THEN FOUND A MASSIVE PUDDLE OF OIL UNDERNEATH WHERE I PARKED. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO JIFFY LUBE.

RIGHT REAR SLIDER WINDOW EXPLODED AND SHATTERED. DEFROSTER MAY HAVE BEEN ON. VEHICLE RUNNING ABOUT 5 TO TEN MINUTES. THIS HAS BEEN A ISSUE WITH F 150'S SINCE 2010. ALSO THE WATER PUMP WENT OUT WITH 29003 MILES. NOW THE TRUCK HAS ABOUT 30100 MILES ACCUMULATED. DRIVING SLOWLY ON A COUNTRY PAVED ROAD. FORDS CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE REFUSED TO REPAIR AS THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A ON GOING FACTORY FAULT. MY SONS F150 HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

SINCE OCTOBER 2015 MY STEERING ON MY 2012 FORD F150 SUPERCREW 4X4 WITH 44,000 MILES RANDOMLY FREEZES UP WITHOUT WARNING. THIS ISSUE OCCURS MOSTLY AFTER MAKING A LEFT TURN. AFTER TURNING, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILS TO RETURN TO CENTER. OCCASIONALLY THIS ISSUE HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, WHICH MAKES DRIVING VERY SCARY AS I HAVE TO CONTINUALLY WORK TO KEEP THE WHEEL CENTERED. I DID TAKE IT TO THE FORD DEALER ONCE WHEN THIS PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING FOR A FEW DAYS STRAIGHT, BUT BY THE TIME THEY TESTED IT THE ISSUE DISSAPPEARED.IN REVIEWING THE MULTITUDE OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ISSUE, I AM SHOCKED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ISSUED FOR DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

CODE P0016 TIMING CHAIN FAILURE. CAUSING CAR TO LOSE POWER WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENED ON EXPRESSWAY WHEN I WAS TURNING INTO A LANE TO PASS A SEMI IN MY LANE. I HAD NO POWER TO GET GOING IN THE PASSING LANE AND ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED.ALSO CAUSES TRUCK TO JUMP WHEN FULLY STOPPED AND FOOT ON BREAK. THIS IS A ON GOING PROBLEM.

DRIVING AT 50-55 MPH IN 6TH GEAR TRUCK SWITCHES INTO 1ST GEAR AND TRUCK LOCKS UP.12

I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN APRIL OR MAY. WHEN MY TRUCK IS STATIONARY AND TURNED OFF WITH THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION, MY DASH LIGHTS DO NOT SHUT OFF. I DIDN'T NOTICE THIS THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE, AT NIGHT, MY LIGHTS STAY ON FOR ABOUT 20-30 SECONDS AND THEN SHUT OFF. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THIS, I GOT HOME FOR THE NIGHT, PUT MY TRUCK IN PARK, SHUT IT OFF, AND TOOK OUT THE KEYS. I USED MY REMOTE TO LOCK THE TRUCK. GOT IN IT THE NEXT DAY AND IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. I HAD TO PUT IT ON THE BATTERY CHARGER FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND FINALLY GOT IT STARTED BUT I NOTICED WHILE CHARGING IT (WITH THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION) THAT MY DASH LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. ITS ALMOST LIKE MY TRUCK DOES NOT KNOW THAT IT IS IN PARK AND IT THINKS IT IS STILL IN GEAR WHICH KEEPS MY DASH LIGHTS ON. A FEW DAYS BEFORE I STARTED EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE, MY REMOTE STARTER WOULD NOT WORK ALL OF THE TIME. IT WAS VERY HIT OR MISS. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS.

VEHICLE BACKFIRED AND STARTED SHUTTERING UPON ACCELERATION...CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON REPLACED IGNITION COIL 6. 1000 MILES LATER, SAME SITUATION CYLINDER 1&2...REPLACED THOSE COILS AND REPLACED SPARK PLUGS. SHUTTERING LESSONED, STILL BACKFIRED ON UPON STRONG ACCELERATION. DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN. THE BACKFIRE DOES NOT TRIGGER THE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON...FROM THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE, THIS SEAMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ECO BOOST

THE CAR STARTED WITH A HARD SHIFT FROM 3-4 GEAR. NOW (IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE) ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN ACCELERATING, IT WILL DROP FROM 4/5 GEAR TO 1 RANDOMLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED INTO SIXTH GEAR FROM FIRST GEAR WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT BAXTER FORD SOUTH (9203 S 145TH ST, OMAHA, NE 68138, (855) 985-0071) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN), ALTHOUGH THE CONTACT'S FAILURE WAS SIMILAR. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: RQ17010 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

BIG YELLOW WRENCH APPEARED ON IP CLUSTER WHILE DRIVING, SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO "0", TACHOMETER NOW WON'T DROP TO "0" READS HIGH ALL THE TIME. TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER, WAS CHARGED FOR A "LEAD FRAME" REPLACEMENT; TACHOMETER STILL DOESN'T WORK; NOW I FIND OUT THERE IS/WAS A RECALL ON THE LEAD FRAME.
