2010 FORD F-150 Complaints

DRIVING APPROX 45MPH DOWN A BUSY 4 LANE ROAD MY BRAND NEW F-150 QUIT RUNNING. VEHICLE STOPPED WITH NO WARNING, AND STOPPED DEAD IN ITS TRACKS. THANKFULLY THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS ABLE TO SWERVE AROUND ME OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED AND SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME WITHIN 6 MONTHS. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY HOOKED IT UP AND SEARCHED FOR CODES, WHICH THEY FOUND NONE. SINCE THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ERRORS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SO NOW I GET TO DRIVE AROUND IN HOPES THAT THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAY, AND NO ONE GETS INJURED. *TR

ON AUGUST 2010 DRIVING MY BRAND NEW F150 WITH 5,800 MILES WITH MY CHILDREN ABOUT 25 MPH AROUND CORNER TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF. COULD HARDLY STEER AND BRAKES WHERE VERY DIFFICULT TO USE. HAD TO COAST INTO A SAFE AREA ALMOST HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. STOPPED, PUT IN PARK, IT STARTED THEN WENT DIRECTLY HOME. CALLED FORD THEY ASKED IF ANY LIGHTS CAME ON, WHICH THEY DID NOT. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. NO CODES CAME UP ON THEIR COMPUTER. THE KEPT THE TRUCK FOR 7 DAYS. THEY HOOKED UP A VDR SYSTEM IN THE TRUCK. THEY SAID NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENED I NEEDED TO PRESS A BUTTON. GET THIS, NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENED WHILE TRYING TO STEER AND BRAKE AND NOT GET IN AN ACCIDENT PRESS THIS BUTTON. THE VDR WOULD RECORD EVERY THING THAT WAS GOING ON WITH THE TRUCK WHEN IT STALLS AGAIN. THREE WEEKS LATER FORD CALLS ASKS WHAT GOING ON. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN. THEY WILL CALL FORD AND SEE WHAT TO DO. THEY WILL PROBABLY WANT THE VDR SYSTEM BACK. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO. THEY SAID THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS OCCURRING ON 2010 F150S. I TOLD THEM THERE ARE MANY ON THE INTERNET. I TOLD MY HUSBAND I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK ANYMORE. ITS LIKE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE, WITH OUR LIVES. NOW WINTERS COMING THIS SHOULD BE REAL INTERESTING. I WONDER IF WITHIN A YEAR OR SO AFTER SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED THAT FORD WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR

THE RPM'S CONTINUED AT 4K UNTIL I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. *TR
