WHILE TRAVELING TO WORK BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND THEN MY ABS & BRAKE CHECK SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON HAS NOT TURNED OFF. TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD F-150. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT CRANKED BUT FAILED TO START. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FUTURE FORD LINCOLN (650 AUTOMALL DR, ROSEVILLE, CA 95661, (888- 656-7577) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT NO RECALL WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

IN 2017 WE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT DO TO LOSS OFF POWER ON 12/23/17 WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER THEN THUNK WHEELS WOULD BARELY MORE.CITY STREET MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN SO NOW IT'S SIT IN THE GARAGE NOT MOVING TO GET IT FIX ALMOST 1500.00 THAT I DON'T HAVE

ABS & TCS WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, WHEN DIAGNOSED IT READS A CODE B1342 FAULTY ABS CONTROL MODULE. I HAVE TRIED DESPERATELY TO FIND A REPLACEMENT ALL THE DEALERS SEEM TO HAVE THEM ON BACK ORDER WHIT NO SHIP DATE KNOWN. NONE OF THE PARTS HOUSES SELL THIS PARTICULAR MODULE IT IS A 1 YEAR PART ONLY I CALLED SEVERAL WRECKING YARDS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND WAS TOLD THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. I FINALLY LOCATED ONE BUT IT WASN'T EASY. HOW MANY OTHER 2009 F150 TRUCKS ARE OR WILL BE ON THE ROAD WITH FAULTY BRAKES AND ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THEM.

ON DECEMBER 15, 2017, WHILE DRIVING ON I35 IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS, THE F150 AUTONOMOUSLY ACCELERATED TO MAXIMUM RPM AND WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON. WE WERE FORCED TO RIDE THE BREAKS HARD UNTIL WE WERE ABLE TO EXIT THE FREEWAY, PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND BREAK TO A STOP. WE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE STILL WENT TO MAXIMUM RPMS SO WE SHUT DOWN THE VEHICLE AGAIN. FIVE MINUTES LATER WE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE PERFORMED NORMALLY. WE DROVE IT IMMEDIATELY TO OUR LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THE LOCAL AUTO REPAIR CENTER WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE SHOWS NO FAULT CODES. UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET, WE DISCOVERED NO OPEN RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND WE ARE NOT THE ONLY FORD CUSTOMERS TO EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD F-150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE, IT REVVED UP. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO AN ENCLOSED TRAILER ON JULY 5, 2017. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NOVEMBER 24, 2017 AND THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A WALL. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,000.

SUDDEN COMPLETE BREAK FAILURE. WITHOUT ANY PREVIOUS BREAKING PROBLEM OR INDICATION OF BREAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM THE BREAKING SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS DECELERATING WITH NO PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS A FEW HUNDRED YARDS FROM A RED LIGHT AND ATTEMPTED TO APPLY GENTLE BRAKE PRESSURE, THE BREAK PEDAL GAVE NO RESISTANCE, EASILY PUSHED TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BREAKING CAPACITY WHATSOEVER. THE BREAK TROUBLE LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME INSTANT FAILURE OCCURRED. RELEASING AND REAPPLYING THE BREAKS HAD NO EFFECT, ONLY DUE TO MY EARLY RESPONSE TO THE RED LIGHT ALLOWED ME ENOUGH TIME AND DISTANCE TO USE THE COLUMN SHIFTER TO DOWNSHIFT, THUS DECELERATING WITH THE ENGINE UNTIL REACHING 1ST GEAR. AT WHICH POINT I WAS ABLE TO USE THE PARKING BREAK TO FULLY STOP THE VEHICLE.

MY VEHICLE SIMPLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY, TWICE. AFTER A SMALL COOL DOWN PERIOD, THE VEHICLE STARTED UP AGAIN AND SEEMED FINE TILL A FEW DAYS LATER WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY. ACCORDING TO FORD, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH A FUSE THAT CONTROLS THE FUEL PUMP. IT OVERHEATS AND FAILS CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO STOP WORKING. THEY ALSO HAVE A $20 KIT TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS SO COMMON. WHY THIS IS NOT A RECALL IS BEYOND ME. MY WIFE AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE.

TAKATA RECALL......I HAVE A 2009 F-150 AND ALL 3 OF THE 4 DOOR HANDLES OPEN SOMETIMES WHEN YOU TRY OPEN THE DOOR THE 1ST TIME 1 OF THE DOOR HANDLES YOU CAN ONLY OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE THE DRIVER DOOR HAS A BURN MARK AROUND THE LACH OF THE DOOR THAT WAS NEVER THERE.......I CALLED TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT YEAR OF MY TRUCK AND I WAS TOLD NO.....HOW CAN THAT BE? DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS THAT MY FAMILY CAN'T GET OUT?
