2009 FORD F-150 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT NOTICED RUST ON THE BOTTOM CORNERS OF THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER CREW CAB DOORS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A DRAIN TUBE CAME FROM THE SUN ROOF AND HAD NO WAY FOR THE WATER TO GET OUT. AS A RESULT, THERE WAS RUST AROUND THE LOWER FRONT STRIP OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS, AND THE BOTTOM TWO CORNERS OF THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS NEEDED TO BE CUT OUT AND THE METAL RE-WELDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER (KIP KILLMON FORD, 201 E MAIN ST, LOUISA, VA 23093 (540) 967-1350) WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT NHTSA'S PHONE NUMBER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO REMEDY FOR A VEHICLE OF THAT YEAR. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

I HAVE A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR THERE'S A HUMMING SOUND THE FASTER I GO THE LOUDER THE NOISE GETS.

2009 FORD F150 WITH 146,000 MILES NEEDED TO HAVE ENGINE REPLACED DUE TO SCORED CAMS. IT APPEARS THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 5.4 ENGINES. WE ARE ONE-TIME OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE GREAT MAINTENANCE RECORDS. I BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE FOR THIS

FIRST THE RIGHT REAR DOOR SHOWS THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR SO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING FOR ABOUT TEN MILES BEFORE THEY GO OUT AND WHEN YOU STOP THE VEHICLE AND GET OUT THE LIGHTS STAY ON FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES SO IT RUNS THE BATTERY DOWN. SECOND THING IS THE DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE DON'T RETURN TO THE CLOSED POSITION IT STAYS HALF WAY OUT AND A PIECE OF PLASTIC FELL OUT OF DOOR HANDLE I CONTACTED THE FORD COMPANY ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE PROBLEMS. I MYSELF THINK THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE A SAFETY PROBLEM AND VERY AGGRAVATING

AT LESS THAN 63,000 MILES, MY FORD F-150 5.4 LITER ENGINE IS FAILING. I JUST RETURNED FROM THE DEALERSHIP EARLIER TODAY WITH OVER $2800 WORTH OF REPAIR ESTIMATES; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND RATTLED WHEN IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT AND APPEARED TO BE OVERHEATING. VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT, GETS REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE, AND IS DRIVEN MAINLY ON HIGHWAYS. I DO NOT PULL ANYTHING (BOATS, CAMPERS, ETC.). INTERNET FORUMS ARE LOADED WITH COMPLAINS ABOUT THIS ENGINE AND ALL SURROUND THE CAM PHASERS AND LOCAL ENGINE PARTS FAILING. FORD HAS NO RECALL AND WILL DO NOTHING! I HAVE A CASE IN THEIR SYSTEM AS OF THIS EVENING AND WOULD LIKE THE GOVERNMENT TO START ISSUING GUIDANCE TO CONSUMERS AND GET A RECALL PROCESS UNDERWAY. ISSUE WAS FIRST NOTICED WHEN I TRIED TO START THE TRUCK ONE NIGHT IN MID-JUNE. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT IN MID-JULY TO GET THIS DIAGNOSIS.
