TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO READ THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DUE TO DIM LIGHTING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS ALSO DIFFICULT TO READ BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 38. UPDATED 7/26/10 *CN UPDATED 07/29/10.*JB

DRIVING MY 2010 FORD F-150 DOWN THE HIGHWAY. TRUCK STALLED AND QUIT FOR NO REASON. IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP BUT SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME. THE TRUCK SEEMED LIKE IT ALWAYS IDLED ROUGH FROM DAY # 1. IT CURRENTLY HAS UNDER 13,000 MILES ON IT. NO ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON.CALLING FORD DEALER FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. *TR

2010 F150 TWIN CAB HAS A PLASTIC TRAY IN THE FRONT SEAT MIDDLE BOTTOM SECTION THAT HAS VERY SHARPY FLASH THAT CAUSED MY WIFE TO CUT/PEEL OF HER SKIN FROM HER BACK ANKLE WHILE WEARING HER SANDALS. *TR

2010 FORD F150 XLT PICKUP WITH AUTOMATIC ILLUMINATION/ACTIVATION INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ILLUMINATION LIGHTS ON 3 OCCASIONS TO DATE HAVE FAILED TO ILLUMINATE UNDER LOW /NO LIGHT OUTSIDE CONDITIONS. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS NOT READABLE! NO ILLUMINATION LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS A MANUAL HEADLAMP SELECTION (3 POSITIONS) AND EVEN IF THE HEADLAMP SELECTOR SWITCH IS TURNED TO MANUAL "ON", THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DID NOT ILLUMINATE!.....THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD! THE NEXT DAY EVERYTHING WORKED FINE EXCEPT THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DID NOT ILLUMINATE UNTIL IT COMPLETELY DARK OUTSIDE. SAFETY HAZARD!....I CANT READ THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER UNDER LOW LIGHT CONDITION! I BELIEVE THAT THE SENSOR THAT READS OUTSIDE LIGHT CONDITIONS NEEDS TO BE RE-CALIBRATED TO A LOWER SENSITIVITY, AND THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE REPROGRAMMED SO THAT WHEN THE DRIVER MANUALLY SELECTS FOR ALL LIGHTS TO BE ACTIVATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SHOULD THEN GO ON! *TR

AS I AM PUMPING GAS, THERE IS SIGNIFICANT SEEPAGE. IN SOME CASES, I HAVE TO STOP HALF WAY THROUGH BECAUSE THE SEEPAGE IS SO GREAT. DURING THIS LAST INCIDENT, I TOOK PICTURES OF THE AREA WHERE THE SEEPAGE WAS TRICKLING DOWN AND SHOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND INSISTED THAT IT WAS DUE TO OVERFILLING MY TANK. I TOLD THEM SEEPAGE OCCURRED THROUGHOUT THE FILL UP PROCESS. THIS WAS THEIR SECOND ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. ONE MOMENT I WILL HAVE 90 MILES TO EMPTY THEN WITHIN A FEW MILES, I AM AT 50 MILES TO EMPTY. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 FORD F150 CREW CAB TRUCK. AN INCIDENT HAPPENED AROUND 3:30PM ON 4 24 2010. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 1700 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE INCREASED SPEED.THE MOTOR REVVED UP TO 7000RPM. I EVENTUALLY PUT IT INTO PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT. FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT INJURED AND NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MAROONE FORD IN MARGATE, FL. IT WAS LOOKED AT BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON 4 26 2010. THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND ROAD TESTED IT FOR ONLY 4 MILES AND SAID NO PROBLEM COULD BE FOUND. THEY CALLED ME LATER THAT AFTERNOON AND TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE IN THE MORNING. I DID NOT FEEL SAFE AT ALL DRIVING THE VEHICLE! I DID NOT FEEL THAT THEY TOOK THIS INCIDENT SERIOUSLY. I DECIDED TO GET A SECOND OPINION FROM ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO SAWGRASS FORD IN SUNRISE, FLORIDA (WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE) WHERE THE HEAD OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT PERSONALLY TOOK CARE OF ME. HE UNDERSTOOD MY CONCERN AND SAID THAT HE WOULD THOROUGHLY CHECK OUT THE VEHICLE. THEY KEPT THE TRUCK FOR 4 DAYS, TEST DROVE IT FOR OVER 125 MILES, RAN ALL COMPUTERIZED TESTS, AND ALSO PULLED OFF ALL WHEELS AND CHECKED THE BRAKES. THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE INCIDENT. WHEN PICKING UP THE VEHICLE, THE SERVICE MANAGER ASSURED ME THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE. HE ALSO ADMITTED THAT THIS HAD OCCURRED IN OTHER F150 TRUCKS, BUT SAID THEY HAD NEVER TREATED THE PROBLEM AT THEIR DEALERSHIP. AS OF NOW, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR TWO WEEKS WITHOUT INCIDENT. I WANTED TO DOCUMENT WHAT HAPPENED TO ME SHOULD THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT OCCUR AGAIN. *TR

BRAKES ON 2010 F-150 NEED REPLACED WITH UNDER 10,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

2010 FORD F 150 OFF ROAD CAUGHT ON FIRE AND BURNT VERY QUICKLY. THE FIRE STARTED UNDER THE PICKUP UNDER THE DRIVERS DOOR AND TOWARDS THE BACK. I AM NOT SURE WHY IT STARTED, I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR 5 WEEKS. WE CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT QUICKLY BUT SINCE I LIVE ON A FARM IT TOOK THE FIRE DEPT ABOUT 25 MINS TO GET OUT TO THE VEHICLE AND BY THAN THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY TOTALED. I NEVER SAW ANY WARNING SIGNS BEFORE THE FIRE. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN MARCH 2010. AS SOON I BOUGHT THIS I HEARD A SOUND WHEN I MAKE A TURN. IT'S A SOUND WHEN TWO METAL MAKE FRICTION. I TOOK THE CAR FOR SERVICES IN ALBERIC COLON FORD IN DECEMBER 2010. FIRST THEY SAID THAT EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. AFTER THAT ASK FOR A SUPERVISOR THAT MAKE A TEST DRIVE WITH ME HE HEARD THE SOUND AND THEY KEEP A CAR FOR TWO WEEKS. AFTER THAT AS SOON I TOOK THE CAR OUT I HEARD THE SOUND. I DIDN'T TAKE THE CAR BACK THE CAR FOR SERVICES BECAUSE I NEED A CAR TO GO TO WORK. IN AUGUST 2011 I TOOK THE CAR AGAIN TO THE SERVICE. AGAIN THEY SAID THAT EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. I REQUEST ANOTHER TEST DRIVE WITH A SUPERVISOR AND THE MECHANIC THEY HEARD THE SOUND AND KEEP THE CAR FROM SEPTEMBER 6 2011 TO OCTOBER 6 2011. WHEN THE CAR WAS IN THE SERVICES SOMETIME THEY CALL ME AND SAID THAT'S THEY ARE MAKING SOME TEST DRIVE TO KNOW WHERE IT COME FROM THE SOUND. AFTER A MONTH THEY CALL ME AND SAID THAT FORD SAID THAT IS SOMETHING CHARACTERISTIC IN THIS MODEL. YOU DON''T HAVE TO BE AN ENGINEER TO KNOW THAT WHEN TO METAL MAKE FRICTION ONE OF THEM GOING TO FAIL. I HOPE WHEN THIS HAPPEN I DON''T BE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, BECAUSE I COULD GET KILL OR KILL SOMEBODY ELSE. I HOPE YOU INVESTIGATE THIS COMPLAINT AND FIND WHAT'S WRONG BEFORE ANYBODY GET KILL. THIS IS NOT NORMAL I BEEN DRIVING FOR 28 YEARS AND I'M A 24 YEARS EXPERIENCE STATE POLICE HERE IN PUERTO RICO AND I KNOW WHEN SOMETHING GO WRONG THE DAMAGE CAN MADE. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR THIS MATTER. *TR

Dash lights do not work. Cannot see any dash gauges. Speed unknown. Dealer says unknown problem. Cannot fix. Non dearer repair shop gives same answer. Not safe to operate. Unknown speed , fuel level etc. also loud thump in transmission , has done this since purchased in 2010. Dealer has looked at this many many times and says nothing wrong. Many complaints on internet about both of these problems.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING A NEW 2010 FORD F-150 WITH FIVE-THOUSAND MILES ON IT. SHE WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY LEADING TO MY DAUGHTER'S DAY CARE CENTER. WHILE IN THE MIDST OF THE TURN, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. AS A RESULT OF THE ENGINE STALL, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER, INCLUDING POWER STEERING. A VEHICLE DESCENDING THE HILL FROM THE DAYCARE CENTER HAD TO SWERVE AROUND MY WIFE TO AVOID A COLLISION. WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER, HOWEVER AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR 17 DAYS THEY HAD A "PORTER" REPORT ONE "HICCUP" WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER THEY REPORTED NO ERROR CODES WERE TRIPPED. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM SO WERE THEREFORE UNABLE TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY WIFE NO LONGER FEELS CONFIDANT IN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AS SHE IS AFRAID IT WILL SUDDENLY STALL FOR NO APPARENT REASON THEREBY ENDANGERING SHE AND OUR CHILDREN AS WELL AS OTHER MOTORISTS AND/OR PEDESTRIANS. *TR

AGGRESSIVE BRAKING SYSTEM ON 2010 F150 4 X 4. FORD DEEMS THIS TO BE A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC WITH THIS VEHICLE BUT ACCORDING TO THEIR SSM 21458 IT STATES THAT ONLY SOME F150 ARE AFFECTED. IT ALSO STATES IN THE SSM THAT IT CAN GET WORST BEFORE IT GETS BETTER. WHEN BRAKING IT FEELS LIKE YOU HIT THE FRONT BRAKES ON A BIKE. I HAD TWO DEALERS LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM BUT WITH THIS SSM IT STATES THAT THEY CAN NOT PERFORM ANY SERVICE. YET WHEN TALKING TO A SRVC TECH THEY AGREE THE BRAKES ARE NOT WHAT THEY ARE USE TO. LEAVING AND OPINION THAT THEY TO AGREE WITH THE CUSTOMER. IN MY OPINION FORD REALIZES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WHY ELSE PUT OUT AN SSM THERE MUST OF BEEN PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE IN ORDER FOR FORD TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS.I CAN SEND YOU A COPY OF THIS SSM IF NEEDED. PLEASE SUPPLY YOUR ADDRESS. THIS ISSUE STARTED WHEN I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE. MY OTHER CONCERN IS, IF MY BRAKES ARE PART OF THE SOME THAT IS NORMAL WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER SOME??

ON 02/25/10 MY P/U HAD 2214 MILES, I COMPLAINED OF CLUNKY SHIFTING GEAR HUNTING AND 2 SECOND HESITATION WHEN PUSH ACCELERATOR DOWN FOR PASSING. FORD ,DIAGNOSIS EVERY THING NORMAL. I AM LIVING WITH THIS NIGHTMARE. I HAVE BEEN PROFESSIONAL DRIVER SINCE 1976. 02/26/11 BACK INTO FORD WITH CLUNKY TRAN. AND 2 SECOND HESITATION WHEN PASSING AT 50 MPH. FOUND NO PROBLEM. 02/02/11 BACK INTO FORD SAME SYMPTOMS TOLD THEM I WANT TO RIDE WITH TECH. DID NOT ALLOW RIDE WITH TECH SERVICE WRITER AND SERVICE MGR. SAID THEY EXPERIENCED MY PROBLEM. TOLD ME COME BACK WHEN TRANS. TECH AVAILABLE. THEN WROTE MY INVOICE TO READ UNABLE TO DUPLICATE? FORD I BELIEVE HAS ISSUED TALKING POINTS TO ALL LOCATIONS TO COVER UP THE FACT THAT THERE IS PROBLEM! THIS IS SERIOUS BECAUSE MANY TIMES IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION YOU ACCELERATE INSTEAD OF BRAKE. SO WHEN YOU GO TO ACCELERATE AND HAVE A 2 SECOND DELAY IN PEDAL PUSH DOWN TO WHEN THE COMPUTER READS WHAT TO DO AND GIVES YOU PASSING GEAR YOU COULD BE RUN OVER! PLEASE HELP MY VEHICLE LISTED FOR 46,000 PLUS PAID 40,000 FOR IT. CONSUMERS IN AMERICA SHOULD NOT GET FLEECED LIKE THIS WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES. THANK YOU, HOW IRONIC I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A CHEVY GUY UNTIL THIS NIGHTMARE! *TR

HID LIGHTS - THEY JUST BLIND A PERSON EITHER HEAD ON OR IF SOMEONE IS FOLLOWING YOU. IT IS CRAZY YOU WANT TO GRAB A WELDING HELMET TO SEE. SURE THEY ALLOW THE OWNER WITH HID LIGHTS TO SEE FARTHER BUT AT WHOSE EXPENSE? I CAN'T SEE AROUND ANYTHING WITH THAT COMING AT ME. ALSO, THIS ALMOST APPLIES TO THOSE SUVS AND TRUCKS THAT HAVE TO HAVE 4 HEADLIGHTS AS BIG AS PIE PANS FACING YOU DOWN. TWO HALOGEN HEADLIGHTS ARE ENOUGH FOR ANY VEHICLE. HOW ABOUT SOME COMMON SENSE IN LIGHTING? *TR

THE BLUE HEADLIGHTS ARE PROBLEM FOR ONCOMING VEHICLES AND SHOULD BE OUTLAWED AS WELL AS THE LITTLE LIGHTS THAT ARE MOUNTED BELOW THE HEADLIGHTS THAT COME ON WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON DIM,ON THE SUV'S THEY ARE THE WORST,THE ONE'S THAT ARE ON THE FORD PICKUPS AND SOME OF THE CHEVY. PICKUPS ARE AS BIG AS THE HEADLIGHT AND ARE IN SOME CASES BRIGHTER THEN THE DIM HEADLIGHTS AND THEY BLIND ONCOMING VEHICLES AND THEY TOO SHOULD BE OUTLAWED. *TR

FORD MOTOR CO CHANGED THEIR UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR FROM HOMELINK TO CAR2U. WHICH DOES NOT WORK AS THE OWNERS GUIDE STATES. THE OWNERS GUIDE HAS TWO SAFETY WARNING NOT TO PROGRAM INSIDE THE GARAGE. I WAS TOLD TO DISREGARD THAT WARNING. THE ONLY WAY THE CONTROL CAN BE PROGRAMMED IS THE TRUCK HAS TO BE INSIDE THE GARAGE. I THINK IT SHOULD WORK LIKE THE GUIDE SAYS OR REPRINT THE GUIDE. *TR

THE HOOD RELEASE LATCH ON MY 2010 FORD F-150 TRUCK IN ON THE SIDEWALL NEAR THE FLOOR ON THE CAB. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND IT APPEARS THAT MY LEFT FOOT RELEASED THE HOOD RELEASE LATCH AND ALLOWED THE HOOD TO OPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PLACE TO PUT THE HOOD RELEASE LATCH. IT APPARENTLY SNAGGED ON MY SHOE AND WAS PULLED BACK AS I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND I WAS NOT AWARE OF IT AND THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHT TO MAKE THE DRIVER AWARE OF THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM THAT THE HOOD IS IN THE UNLATCHED CONDITION. ON MY PREVIOUS FORD TRUCKS, THE HOOD RELEASE LATCH WAS MOUNTED AT THE LOWER EDGE OF THE DASH BOARD AND WAS OUT OF THE WAY OF ACCIDENTALLY BEING RELEASED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY F150 ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATLY 70 MPH, IN TEMP AT 33 DEGREES I HEARD A BANG AND OBSERVED MY REAR WINDOW START TO SPIDERWEB ON THE RIGHT SIDE THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WAS ON TO CLEAR THE BLOWING SNOW OFF THE WINDOW FROM THE BED. *LN

HI, ON MONDAY, JANUARY 25, 2010, I TEST DROVE A 2010 FORD 150 SUPERCREW 2WD PICKUP TRUCK (WITH THE SALESMAN). A FEW FEET OUT OF THE DEALER LOT I FLOORED THE ACCELERATOR TO SEE WHAT KIND OF ACCELERATION THE VEHICLE HAD. AFTER RELEASING MY FOOT COMPLETELY FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND APPLYING THE BRAKE, I NOTED THAT THE ACCELERATOR WAS STILL ACTING AS IF IT WAS ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN. I MENTIONED TO THE SALESMAN THAT THE GAS PEDAL WAS STILL DOWN DESPITE MY FOOT BEING OFF OF IT AND ON THE BRAKE. I THEN REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND KICKED ON THE FLOOR MAT AREA (I DID NOT REMOVE MY EYES FROM THE ROAD) WITH THE HEAL OF MY FOOT IN A REARWARD MOTION. SUBSEQUENTLY THE STUCK ACCELERATOR BECAME UNSTUCK. I REALLY DON'T KNOW IF THE FLOOR MAT WAS INTERFERING WITH THE PEDAL OR NOT, I JUST KNOW THAT IT WAS STUCK DOWN AND POST MY ACTIONS IT WAS NOT. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I WOULD FEEL AWFUL IF I SAID NOTHING AND THEN SOMEONE LOST THEIR LIFE BECAUSE OF A POTENTIAL DESIGN FLAW. TW*

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I HEARD A VERY LOUD POP, OR BANG INSIDE THE CAR WHICH STARTLED ME AS I WAS DRIVING, AND MADE ME SWERVE A BIT AS I THOUGHT I WAS BEING ATTACKED. AS I PULLED OVER THE THE SHOULDER, I SAW MY REAR WINDOWS GO DOWN BY THEMSELVES.THE WINDOW REPAIR PLACE HAD TO DO SOMETHING TEMPORARY TO LOCK MY WINDOWS AND UNPLUG THE WINDOW MOTOR. THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO GET THE REGULATOR FOR THE WINDOWS, AND I HAD TO DO SO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE TEMPORARY FIX MAY NOT HOLD AND COULD CAUSE THE WINDOW TO SHATTER WHICH MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO PEOPLE. I LOOKED EVERYWHERE FOR THE PARTS, AND CANNOT FIND THEM. NOT EVEN THE DEALER HAS THEM. *CN
