2010 FORD F-150 Complaints

2010 FORD F150...DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN IN VERY LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS OR VERY BRIGHT LIGHT CONDITIONS IF EQUIPPED WITH 'AUTO LAMP'...IT WILL ONLY ILLUMINATE IN PITCH BLACK ENVIRONMENTS. INSTRUMENT PANEL IS RECESSED 8 INCHES INTO DASH AND YOU CANNOT SEE THE SPEEDOMETER OR OTHER GAUGES AS YOU DRIVE.....THIS IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AS KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR SPEED IS MANDATORY FOR SAFE VEHICLE OPERATION IN ANY LIGHT ENVIRONMENT. FORD HAS ADVISED ME 'IT IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED'. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS THE INABILITY TO QUICKLY AND ACCURATELY READ YOUR SPEED IS PARAMOUNT TO DRIVING ANY VEHICLE. THE ENGINEERING SHORTCOMING MUST BE REMEDIED. GOOGLE '2010 FORD F150 DASHBOARD LIGHT PROBLEMS' AND YOU GET 7 PAGES OF CONCERNS....... THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE THE LIGHTS WORK NORMALLY DURING ANY DAYLIGHT CONDITION IS TO COVER THE DASHBOARD SENSOR WITH A RAG. THE OWNERS MANUAL SECTION ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS, HEADLAMP SWITCHES AND EVEN AURO LAMP AND DIMMER ALL STATE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WILL ILLUMINATE ANY TIME ANY EXTERIOR LAMP IS LIT....THIS IS NOT TRUE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AS IT APPEARS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN,,, *TR

MY TRUCK IS IN THE SHOP FOR THE THIRD TIME IN A MONTH AND A HALF. IT HAS AN ISSUE WITH STALLING. 5 TIMES SO FAR PLUS THE GAS GAUGE IS NOT READING THE PROPER AMOUNT (5-7 GALS LOW). STALLED TWICE IN A WEEK AND THE DEALER CHANGED THE SENDING UNIT AND REPROGRAMMED COMPUTER. WAS FINE FOR TWO WEEKS AND IT STALLED TWO MORE TIMES WITH THE GAS GAUGE READING LOW AGAIN. SAID THEY FOUND GAS IN THE EVAP CANISTER AND THAT WAS CAUSING ALL OF THE PROBLEMS. CHANGED CAN AND WENT ON MY WAY. THAT WAS 1-28-11 AND ON 1-31-11 VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN WITH THE GAS GAUGE STILL NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT IS BACK AT THE SHOP (AS OF 2-1-11) AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR FIND A PROBLEM YET. DEALER CLAIMS THAT THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THE PROBLEM, BUT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE TOO MANY COMPLAINTS HERE FOR FORD NOT TO HAVE NOTICED. *LN

WHILE DRIVING MY F150 ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATLY 70 MPH, IN TEMP AT 33 DEGREES I HEARD A BANG AND OBSERVED MY REAR WINDOW START TO SPIDERWEB ON THE RIGHT SIDE THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WAS ON TO CLEAR THE BLOWING SNOW OFF THE WINDOW FROM THE BED. *LN

WHILE DRIVING THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, FOLLOWED BY THE GAS PEDAL NOT WORKING AND THEN THE ENGINE STALL OUT. THIS ALL HAPPENS WHILE THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT 30 MPH, 60MPH AND WHILE ACCELERATING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO FORD FOUR TIMES NOW AND THEY "CANT DUPLICATE IT" SO IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED YET. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TOWARD A BUSY INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER! INCLUDING BRAKES AND STEERING! I ROLLED OUT INTO THE MAJOR HIGHWAY CAUSING VEHICLES TO HAVE TO SWERVE TO MISS ME! THIS IS NOT SAFE!! THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK, NOR WOULD ANYTHING ELSE ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE THE POWER CAME BACK ON TO THE TRUCK AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. I HAVE 2 BABIES THAT RIDE WITH ME AND WILL NOT TAKE A CHANCE OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN! THE TRUCK IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WILL NOT BE PICKED UP UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED AND RETAINED A LAWYER SHOULD THIS MAJOR PROBLEM BECOME AN ISSUE FOR ME. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A VEHICLE DEFECT THAT CAN BE CLOSELY COMPARED TO THE TOYOTA RECALL! SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED WITH THIS PROBLEM!!
