Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)The contact owns a 2019 Ford F-150. The contact stated that upon taking the vehicle to the dealer for tire rotation, the dealer informed the contact that the lug nuts were swollen. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that it was a known failure. A case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 51,000.
Premature failure of left front coil spring with approximately 103,000 miles on truck.. Spring is still not repaired. I believe the broken state of this spring could have steering and handling implications to both this vehicle and others under certain conditions while operating vehicle on rough roadways, especially pothole laden ones. This spring failure was brought to my attention by may local Ford dealer during a routine inspection. I reported the premature failure to Ford Motor Company during a detailed chat session on line and also a detailed letter mailed to Ford. My only warning was when my dealer reported it to me. I did some online research and this seems to a fairly common occurrence. I also believe Ford is aware that this problem is related to inferior material and or workmanship of these coil springs, with the spring coating being related to the premature failure.
I HAVE A 2014 F150 FORD TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR 3 DAYS. I WAS OUTSIDE AND HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THUNK. I STARTED TO LOOK AROUND TO FIND WHAT IT WAS AND SAW SOMETHING UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE TRUCK. LOOKING AT IT I FOUND WHAT LOOKED LIKE A BROKEN PIECE OF CURVED ROD ABOUT 5/8 INCH IN DIAMETER. LOOKING FURTHER I FOUND IT WAS OFF THE COIL OVER SPRING WHICH HAD BROKE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS A CLEAN BREAK WITH NO CRACKS IN THE METAL AND DID NOT LOOK LIKE THERE HAD BEEN ANY REASON FOR IT TO BREAK. THE TRUCK HAS 44000 MILES ON IT. I THINK THAT IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THAT IT MAY HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I THINK THAT THE METAL WAS DEFECTIVE AS I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A COIL SPRING BREAKING LIKE THIS WITH SO FEW MILES ON A VEHICLE

WE WERE ON OUR WAY BACK FROM VACATION IN SOUTH CAROLINA DOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DROPPED DOWN ON THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK LOST CONTROL AND WENT INTO A GUARD RAIL, THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK CAME AROUND AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO FLIP. ONCE THE TRUCK CAME TO A STOP THEY HAD TO CUT THE ROOF OFF AND WINDSHIELD TO GET US OUT. I WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL AND MY SON FOLLOWED WITH THE SHERIFF AND OUR DOG. THERE IS NO EXPLAINATION TO WHY THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE CAME OFF WITH ONLY A FEW MARKS AND FULLY INTACT. THE MYSTERY TO EVERYONE IS WHY IS THERE ONLY HALF A RIM???

THE TOW TRUCK COMPANY LOOKED TO SEE IF THE HALF RIM WAS THERE BUT CANNOT FIND ANYTHING. THE TRUCK AT THE MOMENT IS AT BULL DOG TOWING IN SOUTH CAROLINA (803)865-3800.
