2012 FORD F-150 Complaints

BACK WINDOW SHATTERED FOR NO APPARENT REASON WITH REAR DEFROSTER ON. I WAS LETTING MY TRUCK WARM UP IN MY DRIVEWAY NOT IN MOTION

2012 F-150 HAS AN ECO BOOST 3.5 L MOTOR THAT MISFIRES IN DAMP/WET/RAINY/COOL WEATHER. MOTOR GOES INTO A MISFIRE MODE WITH NO POWER TO DRIVE OR ACCELERATE TRUCK. BEFORE THE MILEAGE WARRANTY WAS UP, TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO FORD FOR THEIR "FIX". HOWEVER, THE ISSUE HAS REMAINED FROM 2012 TO CURRENT YEAR, 2018, AND WITHOUT FORD FIXING THIS PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE FOR THE INDEFINITE FUTURE OF THESE MOTORS FROM FORD. CANNOT TRUST TRUCK TO PERFORM WHEN NEEDED AND A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING, TOWING OR ACCELERATING WHEN THIS OCCURRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD EXHIBIT HARD AND SPORADIC GEAR SHIFTING. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED FROM SIXTH TO SECOND GEAR, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ABRUPTLY DECELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (DOGGET FORD, 9225 NORTH FREEWAY, HOUSTON, TX) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY WAS FAULTY. THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN), BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES.

THEORY - VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS CAN SIMULATE OR INDUCE FAILURE OF VARIOUS PARTS/SYSTEMS THROUGH THE COMPUTER PROGRAMMING SYSTEMS THAT RUN VEHICLES CAUSING VEHICLE OWNERS TO MAKE UNNEEDED REPAIRS WHICH CREATES DEMAND FOR PARTS AND LABOR THROUGHOUT THE DEALERSHIP NETWORK. MY VEHICLE HAS HAD THE FOLLOWING ISSUES ARISE AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. 1) DASHBOARD DISPLAY OF GEAR VEHICLE IS OPERATING IN STOPPED ILLUMINATING 2) WINDSHIELD WIPER STAYS ON LOWEST INTERMITTENT SETTING AFTER WIPER IS TURNED OFF 3) VEHICLE MAKES NOISE FOR 5-10 SECONDS FOLLOWING IGNITION DURING WHICH BRAKE PEDAL IS SOFT. 4) SOUND OF GRINDING/SCRAPING FROM THE FRONT END 5) POWER STEERING IS STIFF DURING LOW SPEED TURNS MY RESPONSE TO THESE SITUATIONS WERE/ARE AS FOLLOWS: 1) CHECKED THE FUSES - EVERYTHING WAS GOOD THERE. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER THE DISPLAY ILLUMINATED AND HAS STAYED ILLUMINATED EVER SINCE. 2) THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED REPLACING A $100 PART - I CONTINUED TO SWITCH THE WIPERS ON AND OFF UNTIL WIPERS STAYED OFF. SITUATION STILL REQUIRES ON/OFF SWITCHING SOMETIMES BUT HAS IMPROVED OVER TIME 3) THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF A $400 BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. I CONTINUED TO WAIT FOR BRAKE PEDAL TO FIRM BEFORE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AND THE SITUATION RESOLVED TO NORMAL PRESENTLY. THAT IS TO SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. 4) TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AND INCURRED A $700+ CHARGE FOR IWES SYSTEM. DEALERSHIP SAID THE CHECK VALVES HAD STUCK OPEN AND DIRT AND DUST HAD ENTERED THE SYSTEM REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF PARTS 5) THIS IS THE LATEST ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN TURNING AFTER A STOP AND DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY DAY. I SUSPECT IT WILL RESOLVE ITSELF OVERTIME IF MY THEORY AS STATED AT THE TOP IS CORRECT.

WHILE TRAVELING AT SEVENTY MILES AN HOUR THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFTS TO SECOND GEAR . TRUCK WENT SIDEWAYS ON THE HIGHWAY. GRANDCHILD HIT HER HEAD ON WINDOW. I REPORTED IT TO FORD AND THEY SAID THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT A RECALL VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN TREATED SO BAD . IT HAS DONE IT MANY TIMES. LATEST INCIDENT WAS YESTERDAY. OCT NINTH 2018 . I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET FORD TO AT LEAST GIVE ME A PRICE ON THE REPAIR COST AND ALL I GET IS THE RUN AROUND

ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET. 85,XXX MILES ON VEHICLE. I PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW. ENGINE THREW A ROD. OIL SPILLED ALL OVER ROADWAY. RESEARCH CONDUCTED SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ECOBOOST ENGINE DUE TO INTERCOOLERS OR TIMING CHAIN ISSUES. HAD THERE BEEN ANOTHER VEHICLE BEHIND ME, THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A CRASH DUE TO VEHICLE LOSING POWER WITH NO WARNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 F-150. WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, BUT FAILED TO RESPOND AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD.

I HAVE A 2012 F150 IT KEEP LOCKING UP ON THE ROAD. FORD SAY MOISTURE IS GETTING IN THE ENGINE. THE TRUCK SUDDENLY STOP ON THE ROAD I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT ATLEAST 10 TIMES. SUBURBAN FORD DEALERSHIP IS BLAMING ME. I HAVE FOUND 330 PAGES OF COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE. BUT YET KNOWBODY IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. I AM REQUESTING THE GOVERNMENT TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE I HAVE BEEN NARROWLY MISS BY A SEMI TRUCK MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. IF THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT THINK THIS VEHICLES LOCKING UP ON THE ROAD IS OF CONCERN I DONT KNOW WHAT IS. THE TRUCK SENDS CODES FOR #1 #3 #5 CYLINDERS HAVE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THEN I HAVE HAD THE ENGINE VAPOR LOCK UP, BECAUSE THE INDUCTION IS NOT ALLOWING WATER IN THE MOTOR. HOW MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE SPENT THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THIS TRUCK AND HAVE HAD MAJOR ISSUES. WHO IS PROTECTING THE PUBLIC WE LOOK TO GOVERNMENT TO HELP. THIS VEHICLE HAS BIG ISSUES PLEASE HELP. ONE OF YOUR QUESTIONS ARE WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN, SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. FORD TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE IT WHEN IT RAINS OR WHEN THE HUMIDITY IS HIGH. $65000.00 FOR A TRUCK AND I CAN'T DRIVE IT WHEN IT RAINS.
