2013 Ford F-150 Complaint Log

BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED RESULTING IN TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING. THE VEHICLE HAS A 5.0L V8 ENGINE. I WAS APPROACHING A LEFT TURN AND APPLIED PRESSURE TO MY BRAKE PEDAL AND LOST BRAKING AT THAT POINT. VERY LOW MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WHEN IT FAILED, 14,813.

TRAVELLING AT 60 MPH ON INTERSTATE 5 SOUTH BOUND AT 0445 HRS I OBSERVED BRAKE LIGHTS APPROXIMATELY 1/4 MILE AHEAD. AS I APPLIED BRAKES THE PEDAL WAS SPONGY AND BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THE BRAKES FAILED. I WAS ABLE TO EXIT FREEWAY BY DOWN SHIFTING AND USING EMERGENCY BRAKE.I GOT TO A LOCAL RETAILER AND PURCHASED 1 12 OZ BOTTLES OF BRAKE FLUID AND PUT IT IN THE EMPTY RESERVOIR. AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKES I CHECKED THE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS EMPTY AGAIN. I PURCHASED 2 MORE 12 OZ BOTTLES AND ADDED THEM TO THE RESERVOIR. PUMPED THE BRAKES AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. DECIDED TO GO HOME (SLOWLY) INSTEAD OF WORK. AFTER ABOUT 15 MILES THE BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT COMES BACK ON. PULLED OVER AND BOUGHT TWO MORE 12 OZ BOTTLES TO PUT INTO MY NOW EMPTY RESERVOIR. DROVE 7 MILES TO MY HOME AND THE LOW WARNING COMES BACK ON. OPENED THE HOOD TO CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND ONCE AGAIN IT IS EMPTY. LOOKED THROUGH ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE UNDERSIDE OF MY TRUCK AND THERE ARE NO VISIBLE FLUID LEAKS. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM TO LIFE AND LIMB. I SEE I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS ISSUE YET NOTHING AS FAR AS I CAN TELL IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED? 60 OZ OF BRAKE FLUID JUST TO DRIVE 22 MILES SAFELY IS NOT REASONABLE BY ANY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION. FORTUNATELY MY WIFE OR ONE OF MY CHILDREN WEREN'T USING MY TRUCK WHEN THIS HAPPENED OR THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DIFFERENT. WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM MY LOCAL DEALER.

SEPTEMBER 2015 I-75 NORTH BOUND, ATTEMPTED TO PASS A VEHICLE AT 70 MPH AND HAD LOSS OF POWER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND VIOLENT ENGINE SHAKING FOR 5-10 MINUTES ON THE HIGHWAY BEFORE SHAKING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STOPPED. HAPPENED IN THE GAINESVILLE FL AREA CLOUDY BUT DRY DAY, HAD ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE DONE IN VENICE FL PRIOR TO GETTING ON THE ROAD AT THE DEALERSHIP, 36,500 MILES. OCTOBER 2015 I-44 EAST BOUND TULSA OK, REENTERING THE INTERSTATE HAD LOSS OF POWER UNABLE TO ENTER AT APPROPRIATE SPEEDS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND VIOLENT SHAKING. SLAMMED ON GAS AND THEN BRAKE PEDALS WITH NO DIFFERENCE. PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE PARKED THE TRUCK, TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED AS SOON AS IT STARTED GUNNED THE GAS PEDAL RPM IN THE RED LINE AND AGAIN THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SHOOK DID THIS FOR 30 MINUTES UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO START THE TRUCK AND GUN THE RPM INTO THE RED LINE WITHOUT LOSS OF POWER. CALLED DEALERSHIP ASKING ABOUT HYDROPLANING AND ENGINE LOSING POWER LIKE IN THE TUNDRA TRUCKS, WAS TOLD NO FORD DOES NOT HAVE THAT SAFETY FEATURE. COLD AND WET WEATHER CONDITIONS 40,000 MILES. NOVEMBER 2015 ON TX 82 WEST BOUND AT 80 MPH, 35 DEGREES AND RAINY CONDITIONS. ATTEMPTED TO PASS A SEMI AND HAD LOSS OF POWER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND VIOLENT SHAKING WAS A PASSENGER IN THE TRUCK AT THIS TIME AND WAS STILL ABLE TO FEEL THE SHAKING FROM THE ENGINE. AGAIN LASTED 5-10 MINUTES. WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE BEFORE THE TRIP IN THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER. 43,000 MILES. HAVE BEEN TO MY DEALERSHIP ASKING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE MAY BE A RECALL BUT SO FAR NOTHING. I DO INTERSTATE DRIVING IN LESS THAN IDEAL CONDITIONS (RAIN, SNOW AND ICE) I NEED THIS TRUCK TO PREFORM THAT IS WHY I BOUGHT IT. I UNDERSTAND IT TAKES TIME AND MONEY TO MAKE A RECALL HAPPEN, BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE ACCIDENTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A RECARO PERFORMANCE SPORT VIBE (NA) REARFACING INFANT SEAT, MODEL NUMBER: 386.01.VIBE. THE SEAT WAS MANUFACTURED ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2014. THE SAFETY SEAT WAS BEING UTILIZED IN A 2013 FORD F-150 LIMITED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LATCH THAT ADJUSTED WITH THE HEIGHT OF THE CHILD COULD BE EASILY MANIPULATED BY A CHILD. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER IMMEDIATELY TO READJUST THE HARNESS. THE FAILURE WAS PERSISTENT. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CHILD WAS ABLE TO REACH THE LATCH, WHICH WAS OFTEN CHANGED DUE TO THE CHILD USING HIS BODY WEIGHT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN.

BRAKE ROTORS ARE WARPING QUICKLY; TWICE WITH ONLY 25,000 MILES. DEALER HAS TURNED ROTORS TWICE, BUT NOT WILLING TO REPLACE ROTORS.

LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. PULLED INTO GAS STATION, SAW BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS NEAR EMPTY. THERE WAS NO SIGNS OF A LEAK. BOUGHT AND REFILLED BRAKE FLUID AND DROVE TO DEALERSHIP-1 MILE AWAY- BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS 1/2 FULL. SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE, KNEW RIGHT OFF HAND WHAT THE ISSUE WAS, BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER FAILURE BLEEDING INTO THE RESERVOIR. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET TO ASERVICE C ENTER. TOOK DAYS TO GET PARTS. SEEMS LIKE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FORD AND THEY'RE AVOIDING A RECALL...

ON SEPTEMBER 7, 2015 WHILE TURNING ONTO TRAFFIC THE TRUCK LOCKED UP IN FIRST GEAR AND WILL NOT SHIFT EVEN THOUGH THE ACCELARATOR WAS BEING PUSHED. THE TRUCK WAS JERKING BUT WILL NOT SHIFT GEARS. RPM AND SPEED REMAINED THE SAME AS WELL. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME IT HAPPENS AND I HAVE TAKEN IN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT BUT NOTHING IS DONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DEFROSTER MALFUNCTIONED WITH A THREE PANEL SLIDING WINDOW. THE WINDOW PANEL BEHIND THE DRIVER SHATTERED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS WAS THE THIRD TIME THAT THE SAME WINDOW PANEL SHATTERED SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER HASSETT FORD (3530 SUNRISE HWY, WANTAGH, NY 11793, 516-785-7800) STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE ISSUE AND THERE WAS ALSO NO WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.

HAD TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING (50MPH)ON THE ROADWAY. USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE (LEFT FOOT ON THE PEDAL, LEFT HAND ON THE HANDLE) TO MANIPULATE THE VEHICLE BRAKES TO GET HOME (AT 25-30MPH) WITHOUT INCIDENT.

ON 8/26/15 DROVE TRUCK TO TOWN HAD NO PROBLEMS. PARKED TRUCK AT HOUSE, SHORT TIME LATER WENT TO LEAVE AND LOW BREAK FLUID LIGHT WAS ON, CHECK UNDER THE HOOD AND IT WAS UNDER THE MIN MARK FOUND NO LEAKS. I WENT TO THE STORE PURCHASED A BOTTLE OF BREAK FLUID. ON 9/6/15 SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, LIGHT CAME ON CHECKED AROUND RESERVOIR AND UNDER TRUCK AND CANNOT FIND A LEAK. WENT TO STORE PURCHASED ANOTHER BOTTLE. FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE HERE AND OTHER SITES ABOUT NO BREAKS WITH NO FLUID IN RESERVOIR AND NO LEAKS FOUND. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY ABOUT INSPECTING AND REPAIRING UNDER WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL SANK TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, I APPLIED THE SERVICE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE TRUCK CONTINUED IN REVERSE, STRIKING A CONCRETE WALL. I SECURED THE VEHICLE AND INSPECTED THE DAMAGE. UNDER THE HOOD, I LOOKED AT THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR. THERE WAS A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF FLUID IN THE BOTTOM OF THE RESERVOIR. I LOOKED BACK AT THE DASHBOARD TO SEE IF THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED, IT WAS NOT. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED (NEW) IT TWO YEARS PRIOR, GOSCH FORD IN HEMET, CA. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER WERE BAD AND THAT THE FLUID HAD LEAKED BACK INTO THE BOOSTER. SINCE THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR WOULD BE $800. THE TRUCK HAS 36,443 MILES (443 MILES OVER THE BASIC WARRANTY FOR BRAKES). AS A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER, THE TRUCK IS USED TO TOW MY EQUIPMENT TRAILER NECESSARY FOR WORK. WITHOUT THE TRUCK, I DONT WORK AND MY BUSINESS SUFFERS. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO SUBMIT THIS TO FORD FOR WARRANTY WORK STATING FORD IS VERY FIRM ON THIS ISSUE; EVEN ONE MILE OVER 36,000 WOULD BE REFUSED. I APPROVED THE REPAIRS SINCE I NEED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY LIVELIHOOD. AN HOUR LATER, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CALLED SAYING THERE IS A NATIONWIDE BACKORDER ON THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER (GO FIGURE), AND THE PARTS WOULDNT BE AVAILABLE FOR 5 WEEKS! SO, MY TRUCK (THE TRUCK I PURCHASED NEW TO ENSURE DEPENDABILITY, SAFETY AND RELIABILITY) SITS AT THE DEALERSHIP WAITING FOR THE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR AN APPARENT COMMON BRAKE FAILURE PROBLEM. SINCE THEY ARE REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE PARTS WITH NEW (HOPEFULLY NOT DEFECTIVE) PARTS, I WILL CRINGE EACH TIME I STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. AN INTERNET CHECK OF THIS PROBLEM REVEALED OTHERS WITH THE EXACT SAME SITUATION. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL? THIS IS A HUGE BRAKE FAILURE ISSUE.

I LOST ALL PRESSURE IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR.. WHEN I CHECKED THE BRAKE RESERVOIR, IT WAS EMPTY. I WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY SIGNS OF LEAKING BRAKE FLUID. I REFILLED THE RESERVOIR AND WAS ABLE TO RESTORE PRESSURE BY PUMPING THE BRAKES. A FEW MINUTES BEFORE TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE, I WAS IN MOTION IN AN URBAN AREA, TOWING A BOAT EQUIPPED WITH SURGE BRAKES. I WAS TRAVELLING DOWN A STEEP HILL COULD FEEL THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELLING CLOSER TO THE FLOOR. I'VE HAD NO PROBLEMS SINCE BUT ROUTINELY CHECK THE BRAKE RESERVOIR TO ENSURE THERE IS SUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID I DIDN'T REPORT IT UNTIL NOW, WHEN I HEARD THAT OTHER F150 OWNERS HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM.

TURNED ON REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER. AFTER 4 MINUTES OF OPERATION, LEFT SECTION (BEHIND LEFT REAR PASSENGER) OF REAR WINDOW EXPLODED (SHATTERED) WITH LOUD BANG. LOCAL FORD DEALER SAYS ISSUE IS NOT COVERED. INTERNET RESEARCH SAYS THIS HAPPENS ROUTINELY. GLASS REPLACEMENT COMPANY SAYS THEY WILL NOT WARRANT REPLACEMENT AS THE REPLACEMENT "GENUINE" FORD GLASS HAS BEEN "RED FLAGGED" IN THEIR SYSTEM DUE TO REPLACEMENTS FAILING FOR SAME REASON. (KNOXVILLE TN AREA). FYI: I AM A SENIOR QUALITY ENGINEER - AUTOMOTIVE PARTS MANUFACTURING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE MAKING A TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION SHORTLY AFTER THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE IMMEDIATELY RECURRED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY A "LOW BRAKE FLUID" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. I TESTED BRAKES AND THEY FELT OK AT THAT POINT. AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL MORE MILES THE BRAKE PEDAL TOOK MORE PRESSURE TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE AND BY THE TIME I STOPPED THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND IT WAS EMPTY. I FOUND NO BRAKE FLUID LEAKING UNDER THE VEHICLE. I FILLED THE RESERVOIR WITH NEW BRAKE FLUID AND AFTER DRIVING 5 MILES THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I STOPPED AND CHECKED THE RESERVOIR AND IT WAS EMPTY AGAIN. AFTER FILLING THE RESERVOIR AGAIN I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A FORD DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED AND LEAKED THE BRAKE FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER UNIT AND CAUSED IT TO FAIL AS WELL. THE SERVICE ADVISER SAID THEY HAD 3 OTHER F-150 TRUCKS COME IN WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER UNIT WITH NEW PARTS. HE CLAIMS THE NEW PARTS HAVE BEEN RE-ENGINEERED TO FIX THE ISSUE. I CHECKED THE INTERNET FOR THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH AT LEAST 2011, 2012, 2013 FORD F-150 TRUCKS, SOME NEVER RECEIVED THE "LOW BRAKE FLUID" LIGHT BEFORE THE BRAKES FAILED. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE AS THE BRAKES BECOME UNUSABLE WHEN THIS OCCURS. I TOW A LARGE TRAILER ON SOME STEEP GRADES AND THIS COULD BE A DISASTROUS ISSUE AS YOU CAN IMAGINE. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY TRIGGER AN IMMEDIATE RECALL TO FIX THIS VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE.

WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES AN HOUR THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND I GOT A "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" WARNING. NO PRIOR WARNING OF ANY PROBLEMS THAT THIS MIGHT BE ABOUT TO HAPPEN. FORTUNATELY ONE OF MY TEENAGE DAUGHTERS WERE NOT DRIVING IT. THEY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE THE TURN. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO MILEAGE AND NOT INCLUDED IN POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY. AND NO RECALLS ON THIS ITEM, ALTHOUGH THROUGH RESEARCH I SEE THERE IS ONE FOR THE 2014 YEAR MODEL. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME THAT IT WILL COST ME 1800 DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR.

VEHICLE EXPERIENCES SUDDEN & RAPID POWER LOSS, DECELERATION AND VEHICLE SHUTTERING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. OCCURS QUICKLY AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING, PRESENTING MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL VEHICLE CRASHES. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS CAN RESULT IN SEVERE VEHICLE DAMAGE AND POTENTIAL INJURIES. DEALER ATTRIBUTES ISSUE TO BE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY AND HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON A NUMBER OF FORD VEHICLES OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS. I HAVE VERIFIED THIS BY INTERNET QUERY. I HAVE NOT SEEN OR RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION OR RECALLS FROM FORD ON THIS OR ANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK MODEL. THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS A 2013 FORD F150 WITH THE ECO-BOOST ENGINE.

ON JULY 6,2015 I CAME OUT OF THE GYM ENTERED MY TRUCK ,TURNED IT ON THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PEDDLE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR,LUCKILY I WAS PARKED AND NOT DRIVING WHEN IT HAPPENED OR THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT. I CALLED MY DEALER THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK, OUT TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE. BRAKE FLUID WAS LOW IT HAD LEAKED INTERNALLY FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER INTO THE VACUUM LINE THEN INTO BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND THE MASTER CYLINDER. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT IT IS HAPPENING.MY TRUCK IS AN ECO BOOST V6 AND IT IS NOW MARCH AND I AM TAKING MY TRUCK BACK IN AS SON AS I CAN GET AN APPOINTMENT BECAUSE OF THE FRONT BRAKES GRINDING AND SQUEEZING, MAKING NOISE WHEN I COME T A STOP. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 27,000 PLUS MILES. THE BRAKE FAILING HAPPENED AT 22,000 PLUS MILES. I HAVE THE INVOICE AND WORK ORDER IN MY POSSESSION WHEN AND IF IT IS NEEDED . I 'M AS I STATED EARLIER WAS LUCKY I WASN'T MOVING .MY ONLY DISPLEASURE WAS THAT I HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR 2 DAYS OR STAY HOME ,SO EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T CHARGE ME I STILL PAID OVER 200.00 FOR A RENTAL CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND REMOTELY STARTED, THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE GLASS SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,450.

I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, WHEN MY TRUCK SUDDENLY STARTED ROLLING FORWARD. I PUMPED THE BRAKE MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND WITH NO BRAKING EFFECT. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.

JUNE 30, 2015 3:30PM F150 SHUDDERED AND THEN STALLED OUT WHILE RUNNING TRAFFIC. WRENCH INSIGNIA APPEARED ON DASHBOARD SCREEN. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT IT IN PARK AND IT RESTARTED. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE TRUCK. JUNE 30, 2015 5:45PM F150 SHUDDERED AND THEN STALLED OUT WHILE IN RUNNING TRAFFIC. WRENCH INSIGNIA APPEARED ON DASHBOARD SCREEN. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT IT IN PARK AND IT RESTARTED. THERE WERE 4 PEOPLE IN THE TRUCK. TRUCK NOT USED FROM JUNE 30 TO JULY 4TH. JULY 4TH, 2015 6:30PM F150 SHUDDERED AND STALLED AND WENT IN TO SOME TYPE OF BARELY RUNNING MODE. THE WRENCH INSIGNIA AGAIN APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TRUCK STRUGGLED TO START BUT EVENTUALLY DID SO AND I TOOK IT HOME AND PARKED IT AS IT WAS BECOMING DANGEROUS TO BE ON THE ROAD WITH IT. JULY 1, 2015 CALLED AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT WAYNE COUNTY FORD SERVICE DEP'T IN HONESDALE PA. THEY GAVE ME AN APPOINTMENT DATE OF JULY 6 AT 9:30AM. THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND THE TRUCK IS STILL SITTING THERE AS OF JULY 7TH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED, STALLED, AND THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AFTER RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,750. MA 10/6 UPDATED 11/07/2017*CN

MY FAMILY AND I WERE PREPARING TO PULL OUT OF A CRODED PARKING LOT AS WE WERE LEAVING A BASEBALL TOURNAMENT.MY HUSBAND ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE TRUCK INTO DRIVE AND AS HE SHIFTED, THE TRUCK LUNGED BACKWARD AS HE HAD NO BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. HE HAD TO THROW IT INTO P TO STOP.A MOTHER AND HER SON WERE WALKING NEAR THE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME, MY HUSBAND WAS QUITE UNNERVED.HE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND WENT TO A LOCAL STORE FOR BRAKE FLUID IN ORDER TO DRIVE HOME.HE TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHERE THEY HAD DISCOVERED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER AND ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED.THERE WAS NO WARNING TO THIS ISSUE.OUR TRUCK ONLY HAS 44,000MILES AND IS 2 YEARS OLD.THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE USED TO TRANSPORT OUR CHILDREN, NOT TO HAUL OR TOW THINGS.I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND CONTACTED FORD AFTER REALIZING THAT OUR TRUCK WAS NOT THE ONLY TRUCK WITH THIS ISSUE. I SPOKE WITH REGIONAL MANAGER RANDY COPELAND REGARDING THE ISSUE AND EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS THAT THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.AN ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER FAIL UNLESS IT WAS FAULTY, ESPECIALLY ON A NEWER VEHICLE.I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF LIVES IF IT IS NOT ADDRESSED.I WAS TOLD TO WORRY ABOUT MY OWN VEHICLE.I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO KEEP CONVERSATION PROFESSIONAL, I WAS UPSET AT THE FACT THAT HE DISMISSED THE SERIOUSNESS OF NO BRAKES.MY CONCERNS FELL ON DEAF EARS.I WANT FORD TO REALIZE THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE.MR. COPELAND ALSO COULD NOT ANSWER MY QUESTION- WHAT WOULD FORD HAVE DONE IF MY HUSBAND WOULD HAVE BACKED OVER THIS MOTHER AND HER SON.I WANT FORD TO RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM AND TAKE ACTION BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR LIVES ARE LOST.

SECOND SET OF PIRELLI SCORPION ATR'S THAT I'VE HAD WITHIN 10,000 MILES LARGE STRESS CRACKS BEGIN TO FORM STARTING AT THE WHEEL AND MOVING OUTWARDS.

OWNER DRIVING POV ENTERING INTERSTATE VIA ONRAMP AT APPROX. 60MPH WHEN CHECK BRAKE LIGHT APPEARED. OWNER CONTINUED INTO TRAFFIC AND REACHED SPEED OF APPROX. 70MPH WHEN TRAFFIC SLOWED. OWNER PUSHED BRAKE PEDAL COMPLETELY TO FLOOR WITH NO SLOWING OCCURRING. OWNER PUMPED BRAKES NUMEROUS TIMES, DOWNSHIFTED AND UTILIZED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO AVOID COLLISION GOING ONTO SHOULDER OF INTERSTATE. BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY, NO EVIDENCE OF A LEAK FOUND ON UNDERCARRIAGE. OWNER PUT MORE BRAKE FLUID IN AND WAS ABLE TO GET POV HOME VIA SLOW SPEED, DOWNSHIFTING AND EMERGENCY BRAKE. BRAKE RESERVOIR ONCE AGAIN EMPTY. AFTER RESEARCH ONLINE REGARDING MASTER CYLINDER FAILURE, OWNER REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKES ARE WORKING WITHOUT ISSUE.. THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE OBVIOUSLY ENDED WITH SOMEONE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. POV WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY WITH APPROX. 48,000 MILES SO ALL REPAIRS WERE AT OWNERS EXPENSE.

BACKED UP TO BOAT TRAILER. ATTACHED TRAILER TO F-150 PLATINUM. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. CHECKED BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND THERE WAS NO FLUID. ADDED (3) 6 OZ. BOTTLES. NO EXTERNAL LEAKS FOUND ANYWHERE. BLED BRAKE LINES TO GET VEHICLE HOME. DEALER FOUND THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER SEAL BLEW AND ALL THE BRAKE FLUID WENT INTO THE BOOSTER. BOOSTER ON BACK ORDER FOR 5 DAYS. I AM HAVING TO PAY TO HAVE BOOSTER REPLACED, SEAL, AND ABS SYSTEM FLUSH. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME AS I WAS TOWING MY 17FT BOAT UP A MOUNTAIN @ 7% GRADE FOR 17 MILES. I HAVE READ THE RECORDED COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT APPEARS TO HAVE HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS. FORD PLEASE FIX THIS.

WHILE DRIVING I HAD AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF THE POWER STEERING. IT CHANGED TO MANUAL STEERING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE OR AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED I COULD HAVE HAD A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I SEE THE FORD CARS ARE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. I ALSO NOTICED THE 2015 HAS A RECALL FOR STEERING ISSUES. APPARENTLY, THE 2013 HAS ISSUES ALSO. THIS WAS A SCARY SITUATION THAT IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK. I COULDN'T DRIVE THE TRUCK ONCE I GOT IT PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. FORD WILL CHARGE US ABOUT $1500 TO REPAIR IT.

APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AGO, I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA REGARDING A FAULTY MASTER CYLINDER ON OUR FORD TRUCK. I HAD NOTIFIED FORD OF THE ISSUE BUT THE COMPLAINT FELL ON DEAF EARS. RECENTLY, FORD ISSUED A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS RECALL CAME AFTER 9 REPORTED ACCIDENTS AND 1 INJURY. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. I AM STILL STRUGGLING WITH FORD TO BE REIMBURSED $1100 THAT I PAID TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER AND FIX OUR BRAKE PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO BE CONTACTED TO SEE IF YOU CAN ASSIST ME.

I WAS PARKED ON A INCLINE WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE. I WENT TO STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. THE TRUCK WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS AND THE DOOR WAS PUSHING ME DOWN THE HILL WITH IT. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK IN THE TRUCK AND STOP THE VEHICLE. ANOTHER TIME I WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE AND AFTER AWHILE THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ROLL FORWARD. AFTER BOTH INCIDENTS I ASKED MY FORD DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE TRUCK TO ROLL WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN DRIVE. THE FIRST TIME I COULD'VE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT AND THE SECOND TIME SOMEONE IN THE PARKING LOT COULD'VE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT.

WHENEVER AT A STOP IN TRAFFIC, THE BRAKE PEDAL DRIFTED TO THE FLOOR CAUSING LOSS OF BREAKS RESULTING IN STRIKING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE TRUCKS BEEN AT FORD TO REPLACE MULTIPLE PIECES OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM WITH ABSOLUTELY NO BETTER RESULT. THE MASTER CYLINDER RESOVIOR WAS FOUND EMPTY TWICE PRIOR TO THIS PROBLEM SURFACING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE HYDROPLANED AND THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE BARRIER AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000. UPDATED 09/01/2015*LJ UPDATED 10/14/2015*JS

TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. STARTED VEHICLE AND WENT TO BACK UP AND BRAKE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR, LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT LIGHT CAME ON AS SOON AS THE PEDDLE HIT THE FLOOR. VEHICLE WAS SLOWLY MOVING BACKWARDS AND WOULD NOT STOP. TRIED PUMPING THE PEDDLE TO STOP THE TRUCK. USED PARKING BRAKE TO STOP VEHICLE TO AVOID BACKING INTO OTHER CARS BEHIND. CHECKED BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND FOUND IT WAS ALMOST OUT, LESS THAN A 1/4 INCH IN THE RESERVOIR. CHECKED ENTIRE VEHICLE AND NO LEAKS COULD BE FOUND CALLED CROSSROADS FORD IN CARY, NC AND THEY INDICATED I SHOULD FILL IT WITH DOT3 FLUID AND BRING IT IN. FILLED RESERVOIR TO MAX LINE AND PUMPED BRAKED A FEW TIMES UNTIL THEY WERE FIRM. DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP, ABOUT 25 MILES. NO ISSUES GETTING TO THE DEALERSHIP OTHER THAN THE BRAKES WERE QUITE SPONGY AND NOT TOO RESPONSIVE. UPON INSPECTION AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY REMOVED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND FOUND THE FLUID HAD FILLED THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED.. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM, I'M VERY LUCKY I WASN'T KILLED OR KILLED SOMEONE IN AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE WAS JUST A LITTLE OVER 500 OUT OF WARRANTY.

STARTED VEHICLE AT MY WORK LOCATION, BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, CHECKED BRAKE FLUID RESEVIOR FOUND IT LOW. FILLED WITH BRAKE FUID, DROVE TO DEALER WITH LESS THAT 100% BRAKING POWER. DEALER REPLACED BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER. DEALER WORK TICKET ATTACHED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. PHILPOT FORD (1400 US-69, NEDERLAND, TX 77627, (866) 796-0839) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE RPMS INCREASED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED OR DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000. UPDATED 07/14/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION/COMPUTER WAS REPROGRAMMED BY THE DEALER. THE PROBLEM RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. UPDATED 07/19/16. *JB

THE TRUCK MAKES A GRINDING/POPPING SOUND WHEN TURNING OVER ANY TERRAIN. FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE OR A WHEEL IS GOING TO FALL OFF.

BRAKE ROTORS WARPING PRIOR TO 18,000 MILES; ENGINE COOLER FAN RUNS IN HIGH SPEED DURING SUMMER MONTHS, ALL THE TIME.

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS ARE MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING DOORS TO STAY LOCKED AND UNABLE IT OPEN.

COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES. HAD TRUCK TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY DIAGNOSED DEFECTIVE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT THE PARTS ARE ON NATION WIDE BACK ORDER. THIS INDICATES THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I AM BEING REQUIRED TO PAY BECAUSE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. BRAKES SHOULD NEVER COMPLETELY FAIL. THIS COULD HAVE HAD CATASTROPHIC RESULTS. IF FORD DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS ISSUE AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY SOON AND FIX IT, SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN FREEWAY AND WENT TO EXIT AND HEARD A SOUND WITH A WARNING LIGHT WITH ADVANCETRAC SERVICE AND POWER STEERING DEFAULT. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE MY STEERING MORE THAN JUST A FEW INCHES LEFT OR RIGHT AND STOPPED IMMEDIATELY. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP DO TO THE STEERING WAS UNABLE TO FUNCTION ANY LONGER.

I HAVE SOME STRANGE SHIFTING ISSUES WITH THIS TRUCK FORD HAS DENIED ME A FIX. AS OF NOW, IT SEEMS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE SPLIT TWO-PIECE DRIVE SHAFT "BUMP". (SPLINE YOKE NEEDS GREASE) OR TSB 14-0090 FOR THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. IT FEELS LIKE SOMETIMES YOU HIT A BUMP BUT THE ROAD IS SMOOTH. DRIVE SHAFT SPLINE NEEDS GREASE? ALSO, VERY ROUGH "CLUNK" WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND VICE-VERSA. SECOND GEAR SHUDDERING AT TIMES UNDER SLIGHT ACCELERATION. ROUGH SHIFTING RANDOM, BUT IT HAPPENS FROM TIME TO TIME. I'VE BEEN TO ONE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES. I'VE CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR SOME ASSISTANCE...THE FIRST TIME I GOT BASICALLY NOWHERE. THIS TIME, THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM FORD SAYS SHE CANNOT TALK TO ME AT THE TIMES I AM AVAILABLE. I FEEL LIKE THEY ARE HIDING THE PROBLEMS WITH REFUSAL TO "FIX" THE TRUCK. I KNOW I'VE READ ALL OVER THE INTERNET THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHER F-150 OWNERS. VERY FRUSTRATING AND ANNOYING. I'VE TALKED TO A LOCAL AREA DRIVE-TRAIN SPECIALTY SHOP. HE SAID TO BRING IT BY AND LOOK AT IT FOR ME AT A COST. HOWEVER, MY TRUCK IS STILL WITHIN THE DRIVE-TRAIN WARRANTY...BUT FORD REFUSES TO ASSIST THEIR VERY OWN CUSTOMERS. NOT A VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER ANY MORE. I JUST WANT MY TRUCK REPAIRED PERMANENTLY. OH, YES, THE DEALERSHIP DID FINALLY REPLACE THE FRONT PUMP ASSEMBLY IN THE TRANSMISSION EARLIER THIS YEAR, BUT THAT HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM.

YOUR WEB SITE DOSE NOT LIST A 2013 F-150 WHEN I DO A MANUAL SEARCH F-250 F350 BUT NO F-150.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55 MPH AND WITHOUT WARNING MY STEERING WHEEL ALL OF A SUDDEN GOT VERY STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO STEER AND IMMEDIATELY 2 MESSAGES CAME UP ON THE DASH READING "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" AND " ELECTRICAL POWER ASSISTED STEERING FAULT". AS I PANICKED TO CHANGED LANES AND GET TO THE SHOULDER I WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BY THE LAG CAUSED BY THE POWER STEERING FAILURE. TURNING BECAME VERY EXHAUSTING AND TEDIOUS JUST TO CHANGE LANES OR TURN THE TIRES. I TRIED STARTING AND RE-STARTING MY TRUCK, BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE DAY I GOT MY TRUCK TOWED HOME, I PARKED IT AND HAVE NOT TOUCHED IT SINCE, FOR I FEAR MY LIFE WILL BE IN DANGER IF I DRIVE IT IN THOSE CONDITIONS AGAIN. I AM AWARE OF OTHER RECALLS OF PREVIOUS AND LATER MODEL YEARS OF MY SAME VEHICLE FROM OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES. IF THIS HASNT BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY, YET, I HOPE IT DOES BEFORE SOME SERIOUS/FATAL INCIDENTS OCCUR, SUCH AS MINE, BECUASE OF THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM.

GOT UP AND IT WAS FROSTY AND 24 DIGRESS OUTSIDE SO I REMOTELY STARTED MY F-150 FORD TRUCK WENT OUT 10 MIN LATER AND GOT ON DRIVERS SEAT AND HEARD A LOUD BANG AS IF ROCK HAD HIT WINDSHIELD. GOT OUT LOOKED ALL AROUND BUT DID NOT SEE WHAT HAD CAUSED THE LOUD NOISE FINALLY GAVE UP AND WENT ABOUT MY DAY. THE NEXT DAY ABOUT NOON I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND SEEN THE REAR WINDOW BEHIND DRIVER WAS SHATTERED IN MILLION PIECES BUT STILL IN PLACE. WINDOW IS ALSO TINTED SO HARD TO SEE FROM OUTSIDE. TOOK CLEAR PACKAGING TAPE AND PUT SEVERAL PIECES ON INSIDE AND OUTSIDE TO KEEP INTACT FOR NOW. WENT TO PUT PREASURE ON TAPE TO ADHERE TO PIECES AND GOT SEVERAL FINE CUTS IN FINGERS. CONTACTED FORD SEALED AND SAID FIRST TIME HE HAD HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. THINKING THAT PROBLEM MIGHT CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN TO THE NEW WINDSHIELD HAD TO PAY DEALER TO CHECK IF THERE WAS A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH CONTROLS. SAID EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE AND WARRANTY WAS PAST AND COULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP FINANCIALLY WHEN I CALLED BACK TO GET REASSURANCE THAT THEY WOULD WARANTY REPLACEMENT WINDOW IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN WAS TOLD THAT HE CHECKED AND THIS HAS BEEN MORE COMON THEN HE THOUGHT, 4 THIS YEAR ALREADY AT THEIR DEALERSHIP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE IN SHIFTING GEARS AND MAINTAINING SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CHARGE AIR COOLER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, HOWEVER THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000. UPDATED 01/12/16*LJ *TR

WE HAD JUST TAKEN THE EXIT RAMP ONTO THE INTERSTATE. AS WE STARTED TO ACCELERATE TO HIGHWAY SPEED, WE SUDDENLY LOST ALL ACCELERATION. WE DRIFTED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE WHERE WE SAT UNTIL A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED TO BRING OUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE HUMID, SLIGHT DRIZZLE, AND A TEMPERATURE APPROXIMATELY 75^. WE HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM BEFORE, AND HAD NO ISSUES TODAY UNTIL WE STARTED TO ACCELERATE.

'TAKATA RECALL' AFTER STARTING VEHICLE, BEFORE STARTING TO DRIVE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN WHEN DRIVING IS STARTED THERE IS NO POWER STIRRING. OCCASIONAL IF YOU TURN ENGINE OFF AND THEN RESTART, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON AND POWER STIRRING IS INTACT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF SINCE 5/2015 AT 40,000 MILES AND CONTINUES TO THIS DATE 11/4/2017 AT 95,000. IT IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL FRACTURED AND WAS DISLOCATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND WAS REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000. MA 10/8 *CN
