TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 72 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND BEGAN TO FISHTAIL. THE CONTACT REALIZED THAT THE WHEELS WERE LOCKED SO HE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND ALLOWED THE VEHICLE IT TO ROLL TO A STOP.

WHILE PARKED, PARKING LOTS AND TAIL LIGHTS STAY ON DESPITE SWITCH POSITION, THEN WHEN TRUCK PUT IN DRIVE, RADIO GOES OUT... THEN WIPERS FAIL TO WORK, ILLUMINATED ODOMETER FLASHES ALONG WITH 4WD INDICATOR LIGHT AND INTERIOR DOME LIGHT. DEALER CLAIMS WATER IN GEM PANEL???? INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR WITH MORE DANGEROUS RESULTS, SUCH AS BEING LOCKED IN CAR WHEN POWER LOCKS FAIL OR WIPERS FAIL DURING RAINSTORMS. FORD ISSUED SPEC. MSG TO DEALER #15773 AND KNOWS OF PROBLEM FOR YEARS, BUT HASN'T NOTIFIED OWNERS TO FIX BEFORE DAMAGE OCCURS TO FUSES AND A MAJOR REPAIR IS NEEDED. THEY CLAIM WARRANTY PERIOD IS OVER, BUT LEAKS OCCURRED DURING WARRANTY PERIOD BUT PROBLEMS DIDN'T MANIFEST UNTIL AFTER WARRANTY PERIOD. *TR

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DISABLED LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF WHEN A 108 POUND PERSON IS SITTING CORRECTLY IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WE RECENTLY TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO TUTTLE CLICK FORD IN IRVINE FOR INSPECTION. THEY SAID THAT THERE WHERE NO ERROR CODES SO THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM AND ARE NOT ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE ANY SENSORS BECAUSE FORD MOTOR COMPANY WILL ONLY REIMBURSE THEM IF A PROBLEM IS DIAGNOSED. THE SERVICE ADVISOR CLAIMS THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY NONSENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO US WITHOUT BEING FIXED. THIS IS A 10 MONTH OLD VEHICLE WITH 3550 MILES. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2010 FORD F-150. GAS TANK 5/8 FULL. SHE WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN ONTO A MAJOR STATE ROUTE WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. SHE WAS ABLE TO RE-START THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED SHE LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VEER INTO THE ONCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE. THE DEALER HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 18 DAYS AFTER THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, HOWEVER THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR FIX THE PROBLEM. WE TOOK POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND IT ALMOST OCCURRED ONCE AND THEN ACTUALLY STALLED A SECOND TIME (DESCRIBED ABOVE). I HAVE FILED A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT. THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN BROUGHT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. FORD MOTOR COMPANY DID ORDER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE VAPOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BETWEEN THE TWO OCCURRENCES. THE PART WAS RETURNED TO FORD BY THE DEALER. I CAN NOT PLACE MY WIFE, CHILDREN OR I, NOT TO MENTION THE MOTORING PUBLIC IN FURTHER DANGER BY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. WE COULD HAVE EASILY HAD A DANGEROUS TRAFFIC CRASH WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ENDED UP IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THANK YOU. *TR
