2010 Ford F-150 Complaint Log

MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING INTERSTATE 81 IN VIRGINIA ON 8/13/2011. WE WERE DRIVING IN THE STAUNTON, VA AREA AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHERE THE REAR WHEELS ON MY 2010 F-150 IMMEDIATELY LOCKED UP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, AND WITH THE HELP OF FORD TECHS, THEY FEEL THE ISSUE WAS THE TRANSMISSION IMMEDIATELY DROPPED FROM 6TH GEAR DOWN TO 1ST GEAR. FORTUNATELY THE ROAD WAS DRY AND I GAINED CONTROL AND MOVED THE VEHICLE SAFELY OFF THE ROAD, HOWEVER MY CONCERN IS IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THEY ARE 100% SURE THAT THIS WAS THE CAUSE, AND EVEN IF IT IS, HOW DO I KNOW IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN IN THE FUTURE...WITH A WORSE OUTCOME. I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AND WE WERE LUCKY WE DIDN'T GET INTO A MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT. NOW I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN, AND FORD SEEMS TO FEEL THERE ISN'T AN ISSUE, BUT I SEE NUMEROUS POSTS ON THE INTERNET OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS. SHOULD FORD BE DOING MORE TO ENSURE THEIR CUSTOMERS ARE SAFE IN THEIR VEHICLES, OR SHOULD I JUST FIND ANOTHER TRUCK THAT IS SAFER? *KB

IN ADDITION TO THE 2013 FORD F150 TRANSMISSION RECALL, I HAVE A 2010 F150 THAT HAD THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHERE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS TO FIRST GEAR AT SPEED. I WAS GOING 70 MPH WITH MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER ON A VIRGINIA INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHEN MINE DROPPED FROM 6TH TO 1ST GEAR IN AUGUST 2011. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND SAFELY GET IT OFF THE ROAD, BUT THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON LONGER THAN THE CURRENT RECALL REPORTS. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD SHOULD ADDRESS, SINCE MY TRANSMISSION STILL HAS A HARD SHIFT FROM TIME TO TIME, SO I DON'T FEEL THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE MEGATRONICS UNIT (TWICE), AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER, BUT IT IS STILL THE SAME TRANSMISSION AND DRIVE TRAIN WHICH I STILL FEEL IS NOT 100% FIXED. I SEE NOW THAT THE RECALL MIGHT BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE 2011 AND 2012 F150S, BUT I FEEL IT SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THOSE 2010 MODELS TOO, SINCE I HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2010 F150.

THE TIRE PRESSURE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (TPMS) HAS A DEFECT IN IT THAT CAUSES THE SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION AND GIVE BOGUS WARNINGS. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO LOCAL DEALER 3 TIMES TO FIX. THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE WARNING LIGHT GOES OFF FREQUENTLY ENOUGH WHERE IT CAN CAUSE A CONSUMER TO IGNORE AN ACTUAL TIRE PRESSURE FAILURE. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A BIG ENOUGH ISSUE THAT THERE ARE MANY MESSAGE BOARDS DISCUSSING THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE OCCURS MOST FREQUENTLY AFTER DRIVING 20-25 MILES ON A DAY WHERE THERE HAS BEEN A TEMPERATURE CHANGE OF ABOUT 20 DEGREES OR WHEN IT IS RAINING. THE WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON AT LEAST 30 TIMES IN THE 6 MONTHS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. THE TIRE PRESSURES HAVE BEEN CHECKED NUMEROUS TIMES BY THE DEALER. THE COMPUTER HAS BEEN RESET BY THE DEALER. THEY CANNOT FIND OR DO NOT WANT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WHILE IN RIGHT HAND TURN AT 10 MPH. THE VEHICLE SOUNDED BELLS BUT THE ENGINE REMAINED RUNNING. THE BREAKS BARELY STOPPED THE VEHICLE. ATTEMPTS TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AFTER STOPPING WERE UNSUCCESSFUL EVEN WITH FORCE. TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, LET IT SET FOR A COUPLE MINUTES THEN STARTED THE ENGINE WHICH RESULTED IN NORMAL STEERING. THE VEHICLE IS NOW AT TUTTLE CLICK FORD IN IRVINE, CA. *TR

WE NOTICED A VERY BUMPY RIDE, AS A PERSON WOULD EXPECT WHEN DRIVING DOWN A ROUGH GRAVEL ROAD WITH POT HOLES. WHEN THE FORD MECHANIC CHECKED IT OUT, WE WERE TOLD BOTH REAR SHOCKS WERE NO GOOD "GONE". WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY LOADS TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. IS THIS A DEFECT OR AN ISOLATED INCIDENT? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150 SUPER CREW CAB. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 11V049000 (STRUCTURE: BODY: DOOR) AND CONTACTED THE DEALER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIRS.

MY TRUCK WONDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD AND SHAKES TO THE POINT THAT THE PASSENGER IS SICK. HARD TO STEER OUT OF RUTS AND CROSSWINDS BLOW THE TRUCK IN TO THE NEXT LANE AND YOU CAN'T CONTROL IT. CAN'T TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD IN FRONT OF YOU TO EVEN LOOK AT THE EXIT SIGNS BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE AND UNPREDICTABLE TO THE POINT THAT YOUR HANDS ARE GOING TO TURN NUMB FROM LACK OF BLOOD IN YOUR FINGERS DUE TO THE WHITE KNUCKLES FROM HANGING ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL SO TIGHT. VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES NOW AND THEY HAVE REPLACE BOTH FRONT SPRINGS AND STRUTS AND HAVE REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION 2 TIMES NOW. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FACTORY TIRES ARE NOT THAT GREAT AND HAVE SOFT SIDE WALLS AND THAT COULD BE THE REASON AS TO WHY IT'S NOT FIXED AND THE FORD SHOCKS ARE UNDER RATED FOR THE VEHICLE. SO I HAVE PUT NEW BILSTIEN 5100 SHOCKS ON ALL THE WAY AROUND AND HAVE PUT BETTER TIRES AND WHEELS ON IT. TRUCK STILL DOES THE SAME THING. THIS TRUCK IS UNSAFE AND HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE. HERE ARE THE OTHER COMPLAINT #'S. 10392353, 10407502, 10336730. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE FORD HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED ANY OF THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE OR BURN TO DEATH AND I HOPE IT'S NOT ME OR MY FAMILY. THE ONLY RECALL I CAN FIND ON THIS TRUCK IS THE DOOR HANDLE AND WAS TOLD IT DOESN'T PERTAIN TO MY TRUCK. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE FOR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED BECAUSE I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE OUT THERE WHO IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THEIR $46,000 TRUCK THAT'S NOT EVEN 2 YEARS OLD YET. THIS TRUCK WAS SUPPOSE TO BE BUILT FORD TOUGH. I WILL BE TRADING THIS P.O.S IN AS SOON AS I CAN COUGH UP ALL OF THE NEGATIVE EQUITY THAT I HAVE ACQUIRED DUE TO THE HIGH PRICE OF THIS LEMON. I HAVE SAID MY PEACE AND NOW IT'S ON FILE JUST IN CASE I CRASH AND BURN, AT LEAST I KNOW MY FAMILY WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF NOW (I HOPE). *TR

WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE DOOR LATCHES ON OUR 2010 FORD F150. WE CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE NOT FOUND ANYTHING WRONG, TO IGNORE THE NOTICE.

[XXX] HAVE THERE BEEN ANY ACCIDENTS INVOLVING THIS RECALL? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY VEHICLE RIDES NEARLY IDENTICAL TO ODI CASE 10392353. WHILE DRIVING OUT OF TOWN I HAD TO SLOW FOR A ROUGH SPOT ON THE ROAD WHERE THE PAVEMENT HAD SLOUGHED AWAY ON A GENTLE ANGLE. AFTER GOING THROUGH THE AREA I TRIED SPEEDING UP FROM ABOUT 50KPH (35MPH). THE TRUCK'S STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SWING BACK AND FORTH AND THE TRUCK WAS VIBRATING/SHAKING BADLY. MY 2010 FORD XTR 4X4 HAS APPROX. 36000 KMS (22000 MILES) ON IT. AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 85-95KPH (55-60MPH) THE TRUCK ALSO BEGINS TO SHAKE/VIBRATE. IN ADDITION, WHENEVER IT HITS ANY ROUGH PAVEMENT OR POTHOLES-EVEN THE SLIGHTEST- IT WOBBLES LIKE JELLY. IT HAS 18" GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TWICE TO THE DEALER WITHIN THE PAST 3 WEEKS. AFTER THE FIRST VISIT, I HAD THE TIRES RE-BALANCED JUST TO ELIMINATE TIRE BALANCE ISSUES. BOTH TIMES THEY ROAD TESTED IT AND SAID IT JUST STIFF SUSPENSION. THEY ASKED ME TO ROAD TEST A SIMILAR VEHICLE WITH LIKE MILEAGE AND TIRES. IT DID THE SAME BUT NOT AS VIOLENTLY. THEY SAID THE PROBLEM AROUND THE 85-95KPH IS RELATED TO TORQUE-CONVERTER WANTING TO LOCK UP. MY JOB REQUIRES A LOT OF DRIVING BUT THE 'BOWL-OF-JELLY' RIDE, AS I WOULD DESCRIBE IT, MAKES FOR NEVOUS DRIVING AS THE THOUGHT OF HITTING A SOFT, ROUGH, OR ANY KIND OF ROAD BLEMISH WHILE MEETING TRAFFIC AND MAYBE BEING THROWN INTO THE PATH OR CROSSING CENTER LINE IS ALWAYS THERE. *TT

WHILE DRIVING BY 2010 F150 AT APPROX 75 MPH IN CRUISE MODE. THE ABS BRAKE AND RED BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR SHARPLY DECELERATED. ( BRAKE ENGAGED).

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW IN NOVEMBER 2010 WITH 5 MILES ON IT. IN MARCH MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING REPEATEDLY WHEN NO NEED FOR IT TO SHIFT WAS EVEN PRESENT. IT WOULD DROP FROM 6TH TO 4TH ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO TOUCH OF THE GAS PEDAL. ALSO WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STAND STILL IF YOU SLOWLY ACCELERATE THEN GET ON THE GAS FULLY THEIR IS A HUGE DELAY IN ENGINE RESPONSE AS I WAS TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND FLOORED THE TRUCK AND ALMOST WAS HIT BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS UNRESPONSIVE TO MY NEED FOR FULL THROTTLE. I REPEAT THE DELAY ONLY OCCURS FROM A VERY SLOW ACCELERATE THEN TO A SUDDEN FULL THROTTLE FROM A STOP. THE TRUCK IS RESPONSIVE FROM DEAD STOP TO FULL THROTTLE. ANOTHER IS EXTREMELY HARD SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS BAD DROP INTO 1ST FROM 2ND. ALSO HAVE SLIGHT SHAKING ON TAKE OFF. TOOK VEHICLE IN THEY REPLACED SOME PART ON MY VEHICLE AND I HAVE IT BACK WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS, THEY EVEN WROTE ON MY RECEIPT THAT THEY STILL FELT PROBLEMS AFTER THE FIX!

ENGINE LOSS OF POWER (SHUTS OFF) FOR NO REASON, VEHICLE ENGINE DIES SPORADICALLY (WITH A TOTAL OF 9 INCIDENTS TO DATE) WHEN AT A STOP LIGHT OR MAKING A COMPLETE STOP, THIS PLACES MYSELF, MY WIFE AND MY THREE YOUNG CHILDREN IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON A ROAD DUE TO THIS NO-POWER SITUATION, THIS MAY CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF FOR NO REASON. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY SAY THEY ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CONCERN AND RETURN THE VEHICLE TO US WITH INCONCLUSIVE RESULTS. WE FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE NHTSA AND DOT AS IT MAY PLACES OUR FAMILY IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND MAY ALSO BE AFFECTING OTHER VEHICLES ASIDE FROM OURS. PLEASE CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER AND ASSIST US IN ADDRESSING THIS CONCERN. THANK YOU. *TR

Front Left Brake stuck while driving in 2011. Stopped at a stop light and it looked like it was on fire. Pulled to the left and would not get over 50 miles an hour all the way home. 40 mile distance. I took it to an ASE certified mechanic and was told the brake line had collapsed . Had motorcraft brake line and brake pads installed. Later 2012 the right side done the same thing, it was so bad the rotor had to be changed out. 2014 Left side it happened again, this time I bought NAPA Auto parts, break line, brake pads, caliper and rotor. 2015 it happened again on the right side again. I got parts from Rock Auto. Brake pads, rotor, break line and caliper.. 2020 Left side it happened again , same process as before same parts bought again installed . now 1/10/2022 here Iam having to do it again. There is absolutely a problem with the 2010 F-150s, IM not the only person that has had this problem. My question is this,does someone have to die in an accident of brake failure, or die from a fire caused by the brakes heating before this public safety issue is fixed. Ford do a recall and inspect and repair if needed the problem before a death or injury happens. 2 years in to ownership and less that 60,000 miles I started have trouble ,and the mechanic had all ready been advised about the brake line problem is very telling. I want to file a legal complaint against Ford should something happen in the future to me or anyone else out there with a 2010 to 2014 F-150.

UPON ENTERING AND STARTING THE TRUCK THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID NOT WORK AT ALL IN 4 SEPARATE CASES, THE 5TH OCCURRENCE THE DRIVERS SIDE WIPER WORKED BUT NOT THE PASSENGER SIDE. OBVIOUSLY I ONLY USE THE WIPERS IN BAD WEATHER SO WHEN I NEED THEM MOST FOR SAFETY THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE NOT FUNCTIONED. I HAVE RETURNED THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR EACH TIME AND HAVE CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE CASE # 1496470901, I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS FURTHER ATTENTION AS I NOW HAVE NO CONFIDENCE AT ALL IN THIS VEHICLE.

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW DECEMBER 2010. ITS FIRST PROBLEM WAS THAT ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS IT STALLED AND DIED APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. I TOOK IT IN AND THE TECH REPROGRAMMED THE ENGINE. I DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM FOR A MONTH UNTIL TODAY. TODAYS PROBLEM SCARED THE CRAP PUT OF ME. I WAS CRUISING DOWN THE ROAD AT 70 MPH WHEN MY TRUCK SHIFTED DOWN FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1ST. I FISH TAILED AND ALMOST LOST IT.I WAS GOING DOWN A HILL, IT WASN'T A VERY STEEP DECLINE. MY TRUCK WHILE CRUISING AND GOING DOWN HILLS USUALLY SHIFTS DOWN ONE GEAR ACTING LIKE AN ENGINE BREAK TO KEEP MY SPEED FROM INCREASING. TODAY IT WENT RIGHT FROM 6 TO 1. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME OR THEY WOULD HAVE PLOWED ME. I GOT PULLED OVER AND STARTED MY ENGINE, EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I DROVE FOR A LITTLE WHILE LONGER AND PULLED OVER CALLED ROADSIDE ASSIST AND HAD IT TOWED TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I PURCHASED A FORD BECAUSE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SAFE AND DEPENDABLE. THE TRUCK HAS 9500 MILES ON IT. *TR

WHILE BREAKING TO STOP AT AN INTERSECTION THE TRUCK UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATES AND WILL NOT STOP. THE ABS BRAKE PULSATIONS CONTINUED WALKING THE F150 INTO THE INTERSECTION AS THE ENGINE RPMS CLIMBES. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, THE ENGINE REVVES VERY HIGH, I RELEASED THE BRAKE AND THEN SLAMMED IT BACK DOWN. THE RPMS DROP TO NORMAL AND THE TRUCK STOPPES. IT HAS DONE THIS ONCE EVERY YEAR SINCE 2011. IT SHOWS NO TROUBLE CODES AND WON'T DO IT FOR THE FORD SERVICE TECHNICIANS. *TR

ENGINE STALLS AT RANDOM SPEEDS AFTER BRAKING OR COMING TO A STOP. MOST RECENTLY WHILE BRAKING FOR A TURN, RIGHT HAND FORK AT ABOUT 35 MPH, ENGINE STALLED LOSING POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND COMMON FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND ON THE INTERNET. ALL 3 LOCAL FORD DEALERS ACT LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. I AM SURE THAT IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CORRECT IT, BUT THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION. IT IS A 2010 "NEW" TRUCK AND I WONT LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT WITH THE KIDS BECAUSE IT IS DANGEROUS. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2010 FORD F-150 IN AUGUST 2010. I RECENTLY BECAME AWARE OF A LIGHTING ISSUE ON THE DASHBOARD CONTROL PANEL CLUSTER. WHILE DRIVING INTO WORK ONE MORNING AT APPROXIMATELY 6:30AM, I NOTICED THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTING HAD GONE OFF . IT WAS JUST SLIGHTLY AFTER SUNRISE AND WAS STILL QUITE DARK OUTSIDE. AFTER THE PROBLEM RECURRING SEVERAL MORE TIMES, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT, AND AFTER A BRIEF 20 MINUTES OR SO WAS TOLD THE CLUSTER WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED AND IT WASN'T UNTIL I RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET IF ANY OTHER CONSUMERS OF THIS MODEL TRUCK WERE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS, THAT I HAD AN EXPLANATION FOR THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY FORD ENGINEERED A LIGHT SENSOR THAT SITS ON THE DASHBOARD AND TURNS OFF THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT LIGHTING WHEN THE SENSOR DETECTS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF EXTERNAL LIGHT. THERE IS NO WAY TO PROPERLY OVERRIDE THE SENSOR TO MY KNOWLEDGE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT SOMETIMES WILL SHUT OFF LIGHTING WHEN THERE ARE STILL VERY LOW LIGHT CONDITIONS OUTSIDE. IN SEVERAL INSTANCES, I WAS DRIVING IN LOW LIGHT AND THE SENSOR HAD DEACTIVATED MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTING AND I COULDN'T READ MY INSTRUMENTS UNLESS I TOOK MY EYE OFF THE ROAD AND DUCKED MY HEAD DOWN ALMOST AGAINST THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. APPARENTLY, OTHER CONSUMERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND SOME HAVE REPORTED THAT THEY WERE TOLD BY FORD THAT THE SYSTEM IS WORKING AS DESIGNED AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO CHANGE IT. ONE CONSUMER WENT ON TO SAY THEY HAD FABRICATED A PIECE OF ELECTRICAL TAPE THAT, WHEN PLACED OVER THE SENSOR WOULD DEACTIVATE IT. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN. THE DRIVER SHOULD BE ABLE TO TURN ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WHENEVER HE OR SHE FEELS THE NEED TO. DRIVING IN ALMOST NEAR DARKNESS WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO TURN ON THE LIGHTS IS RIDICULOUS. I HOPE TO SEE ALL OF THEIR LIGHT SENSOR VEHICLES RECALLED AND THE SENSORS REMOVED. *TR

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

3RD BRAKE LIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE CAB WAS LEAKING. WATER AGAINST THE ELECTRONICS FOR THE LIGHT COULD CAUSE THE LIGHT NOT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY RESULTING IN A CRASH. FORD REPLACED THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT SINCE THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

ON OR ABOUT JULY 15TH 2010 I PURCHASED MY FORD F150 BRAND NEW WITH 3 MILES ON IT. NO PROBLEMS OCCURRED UNTIL DECEMBER 31ST 2010. HEADING NORTH ON A 3 LANE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK JUST "SHUT OFF"..DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC. I IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPTED TO RESTART AND WOULD NOT RESTART UNTIL 3RD ATTEMPT. I LOOKED AT THE GAS GAGE, IT READ 3/4 FULL. THIS DID NOT REOCCUR UNTIL JANUARY 3RD, 2011. THE SAME AS BEFORE STALLED WITH FULL TANK OF GAS.THIRD TIME OCCURRED JANUARY 19TH, 2011 WITH MY WIFE DRIVING AND 2 MINOR CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS AGAIN HAPPENED STALLED ON HIGHWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, WITH FULL TANK OF GAS. STATE TROOPER WITH HIGHWAY PATROL HAD TO STOP TRAFFIC AND PUSH THE TRUCK TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTED THE FULL TANK OF GAS. TOWED TO FORD WHO REFUSED TO FIX THIS VEHICLE CLAIMING THAT THIS DEFECT NEEDED TO REOCCUR WITH A FLIGHT RECORDER ATTACHED TO IT, BUT FORD DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO DRIVE IT STATING"IT WAS A LIABILITY TO THEIR BUISNESS AND COULD CAUSE INJURY TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STAFF"...THEY THEN REFUSED TO KEEP IT ANY LONGER AND DELIVERED IT TO OUR HOME WITH THE SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT STILL UNTOUCHED! *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!!

MY FORD F-150 TRUCK(MILAGE,529) HAS STALLED OR LOST POWER AND STALLED 10 TIMES ON 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE PROBLEM STARTED ON 01-14-11. THE FIRST TWO VISITS TO THE DEALER THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE CONDITION OR FIND A CODE IN THE COMPUTER. NO MECHANICAL WORK WAS PERFORMED. ON 01-26-11 THE WRENCH APPEARED, I DROVE DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER. THE TECH FOUND TWO CONFLICTING CODES. HE E-MAILED FORD TECH CENTER WITH THE PROBLEM. ON 01-28-11 THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. (CODE P0505) ON 02-01-11 TRUCK STALLED AGAIN, THIS TIME THEY REPLACE THE RESONATOR(PIN POINT LEAK TO THE RESONATOR HOSE CODE P0102 AT 9511 MILES. ON 02-08-11 TRUCK STALLED AT A STOP SIGN. ( NO WRENCH) ON 02-15-11 TRUCK STALLED TWICE (WRENCH SHOWED UP ) AT MILEAGE 9,525- 14 MILES SINCE THE RESONATOR WORK. ON 02-16-11 I HAD A MEETING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER. HE WAS VERY COURTEOUS AND PROFESSIONAL. I GAVE THE SERVICE MANAGER A COPY OF A REPORT ON PROBLEMS FOR 2010 FORD F-150 TRUCKS. (WWW.ARFC.ORG) I UNDERSTAND THIS INFORMATION IS FROM THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (WWW.NHTSA.GOV) THIS WAY THEY CAN NOT SAY THEY NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. ON 02-16-11 TRUCK WAS RETURNED TO DEALER. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. THE TRUCK STALLS BETWEEN 10 AND 40 MPH YOU LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER THE TRUCK.ON ONE OCCASION I WAS TURNING INTO MY PROPERTY MAKING A LEFT TURN. I WAS GOING SLOW SO I WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE I HIT A SNOW BANK. ONCE YOU LOSE POWER STEERING THERE IS NO WAY TO STEER THE TRUCK AND THE BREAKS FADE VERY FAST. *TR
