IN ADDITION, THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LUG NUTS WERE SWOLLEN AND THAT THE LUG TOOL WAS UNABLE TO FIT THE LUG NUTS. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT REMOVING A WHEEL IN THE EVENT OF A PUNCTURE WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MILLS MOTOR, INC LOCATED AT 14858 DELLWOOD DR N, BAXTER, MN 56425, BUT WAS REJECTED TO BE SERVICED, DUE TO THE CORROSION ON THE LUG NUTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

IN MOTION THE THROTTLE BODY IS VERY SLOW IN RESPONDING TO COMMANDS GIVEN TO IT BY GAS PEDAL CAUSING UNSAFE DELAY IN ACCELERATION AND UNEXPECTED MINOR INCREASE IN SPEED IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC.

THE RUNNING BOARDS ARE SUPPOSED TO AUTOMATICALLY EXTEND WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED. MANY TIMES ON BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE WILL TRY TO EXTEND BUT WILL NOT STAY, THEY IMMEDIATELY RETRACT. THIS CAUSES THE OCCUPANT TO HAVE TO TAKE A VERY LARGE STEP UP INTO OR OUT OF THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES THEY FAIL COMPLETELY TO EVEN TRY TO EXTEND AT ALL WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED. THIS OCCURS FOR BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK DOORS. THIS IS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF AND WHEN IT IS ON.

UPON COLD START VEHICLE BLOWS BLUEISH/WHITE SMOKE FOR APPROXIMATELY 6-8 SECONDS THEN STOPS. DOES NOT SMOKE WHILE DRIVING AND VEHICLE RUNS JUST FINE OTHERWISE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A PCV VALVE STUCK OPEN AND THEY RELACED IT.....THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM.

THE HANKOOK DYNAPRO ATM 275/55R20 TIRES ARE FAULTY AND HANKOOK DOES NOT STAND BY THEIR 50,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THEM. I HAVE PROOF FROM MY FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT.

THE PANARIMC SUNROOF IS BROKEN THE PLASTIC TRACK BREAKS ON THESE AND FORD KNOWS ALOT HAVE.MY PARTS ON BACK ORDER AND THEY HAD THE TRUCK FOR 4 DAYS AND DON'T KNOW WHEN REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE

THE TRANSMISSION IS LAGGING IN BETWEEN GEARS ALMOST LIKE IT'S SLIPPING IN GEAR

WENT TO GROCERY STORE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. CAME OUT OF STORE AND STARTED TRUCK AND HAD NO POWER STEERING. ALONG WITH ERROR MESSAGES ON DISPLAY READING: SERVICE ADVANTRAC, HILL ASSIST FAULT, POWERSTEERING ASSIST FAULT, ALSO HAVE ABS LIGHT ON AND CRUISE CONTROL QUIT WORKING. STEERING IS VERY HARD TO TURN AND MAKES TRUCK VERY UNPLEASANT TO DRIVE.

BACK GLASS BROKE WITHOUT IMPACT

COMPUTER SYSTEMS VOICE CONTROL AND MANUAL SYSTEM CONTROLS TIED TO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN SYNC3 HAS A 30-60 SEC. RESPONSE DELAY REQUIRING EYES TO BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD TO ANSWER CALLS, MUTE SOUND, USE NAVIGATION, AMONG OTHER SAFETY FEATURES. THIS HAS MADE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM UNUSABLE AND APPARENTLY IS A COMMON AND KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS SYSTEM. THE ISSUE OCCURS ALL OF THE TIME REGARDLESS OF BEING STATIONARY OR MOVING, DAY AND NIGHT, IN CITY OR ON HIGHWAY, AND HAS MANY TIMES BEEN A HAZARD WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS OCCURRED STARTING IN JUNE OF 2019 AND CONTINUES TO GET WORSE.

REAR WINDOW SHATTERED 5 MIN AFTER ACTIVATING THE REAR DEFROSTER. WAS NOT MOVING WHEN HAPPENED.

REAR WINDOW OF MY TRUCK POPPED AND SHATTERED A FEW MIN AFTER ACTIVATING THE HEAT AND REAR DEFROSTER. NOTHING HAS STRUCK OR COMPROMISED THE WINDOW.

RATTLE ON START UP. THIS TRUCK SAT FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS TO OVER NIGHT AND THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE A DIESEL FOR BETWEEN 15 AND 30 SECONDS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK ENGINE THE 3.5L ECOBOOST. A GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND REQUIRES THE ENGINE TO BE TORN DOWN. THE COMMON PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THE TIMING CHAIN AND TIMING CHAIN TENSIONERS. FORD CORP WAS ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS IN SUPPORTING THIS REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. MY TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON MAY 13 AND I MIGHT GET IT AUGUST 16 OR 17. PARTS WERE ORDERED ON MAY 15 AND ESTIMATED DELIVERY WAS JULY 31. THAT'S UNSATISFACTORY! FORD DID NOT HAVE ANY PARTS AS THERE ARE SO MANY ENGINES BEING REPAIRD FOR THIS ISSUE.

ORIGINAL PROBLEM WAS TRANSMISSION SLAMMING INTO GEAR AND SLIPPING WHEN ACCELERATING. THE TRUCK WAS KEPT AT AGENCY FOR 21/2 WEEKS. SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT FORD INSTRUCTED HIM TO QUIT WORKING ON IT. PROBLEM OF SLIPPING STILL EXIST AND RECENTLY THE VEHICLE JUMPED OUT OF GEAR WHEN I WAS MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL TRUCK PUT IN PARK IN PARKING LOT BUT ROLLED AWAY WHILE I WAS INSIDE A BUILDING STRIKING A LIGHT POLE.

OIL PAN LEAKING OIL FROM RTV

THE 2017 F-150 RAPTOR HAS 31,000 MILES ON IT. IN THE LAST 5000 MILES THE TRUCKS 10 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED TO SHIFT UP AND DOWN WITH ABRUPTNESS. THE SHIFT IS NOISY AND HARSH TO THE POINT THAT THE WHOLE TRUCK JERKS AND LUNGES FORWARD WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE. THE TRANSMISSIONS ALSO SHIFTS DOWN REAL HARD SO AS TO CAUSE THE PASSENGERS THE FEELING THAT THE TRUCK HAS BEEN REAR-ENDED BY A ANOTHER VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND TAKING A LEFT TURN ON A FLASHING ARROW INTERSECTION IS VERY DANGEROUS. FORD SAYS THIS IS A NORMAL BEHAVIOR OF THE TRUCK ALTHOUGH FOR THE FIRST 25,000 MILES NONE OF THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES EXISTED. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM.

VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN THE GARAGE FOR 2 DAYS. OPENED DOOR TO GRAB SOMETHING. ON CLOSING THE DOOR THE BACK WINDOW COMPLETELY SHATTERED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE ENGINE MADE A GRINDING SOUND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORRIS FORD (410-285-0200, LOCATED AT 901 MERRITT BLVD, BALTIMORE, MD 21222) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SOUND WAS NORMAL AND NO FAILURE CODE WAS FOUND. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED A RENTAL VEHICLE WHILE THE TECHNICIAN KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR OBSERVATION. THE TECHNICIAN LATER DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROMISED TO CALL THE CONTACT BACK. THE CONTACT WAS NOT CALLED BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

TRAVELING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY, COMING TO A STOP AND THE TRANSMISSION GETS STUCK IN 3RD GEAR. IT WON'T DOWN SHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR SO IT WON'T MOVE FORWARD. I PUT THE SHIFTER INTO REVERSE AND I AM ABLE TO BACK UP. PUT SHIFTER INTO DRIVE AND STILL STUCK IN 3RD GEAR. BACK UP TO MY HOUSE AND PARK THE TRUCK NOT ABLE TO GO ANYWHERE. GO INTO THE HOUSE WAIT A COUPLE OF HOURS AND THEN TRY IT AGAIN AND EVERYTHING IS OKAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 OTHER TIMES.

I WAS SENT A RECALL NOTICE, WENT TO SUNNYVALE FORD TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT SERVICE AND THEY WERE VERY RUDE AND BLEW ME OFF. THEY BLAMED FORD CORPORATE AND SAID IT WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM. THEY WERE VERY INFLEXIBLE ABOUT DROPPING OFF MY VEHICLE AND WERE CONFRONTATIONAL AT THE SERVICE DESK AND WHEN GOING TO DROP OFF THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INSTRUCTIONS ON THE RECALL NOTICE ABOUT HOW TO ENGAGE THEM PROPERLY. NOW I'VE HAD TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE FOR EXTRA TIME IN AN UNSAFE STATE AND AM TRYING TO COORDINATE ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO DROP IT OFF AT.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT, LANE ASSIST, HILL ASSIST, LANE KEEPING IT, BRAKING ASSIST HAVE ALL STOPPED WORKING. ABS LIGHT IS ON AND I AM GETTING MULTIPLE SENOR WARNINGS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE SUN ROOF, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A FORD TRUCK AND JUST A NORMAL DAY I WAS DRIVING AND THE TRUCK JUST POWER OFF I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A FORD SERVICE THEY TOLD ME I STILL HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY, THEY CHECK THE TRUCK AND TOLD ME THAT THE ISSUE WAS ELECTRICAL THROTTLE BODY SND THAT MY WARRANTY DOESN'T COVERED THAT MALFUNCTION, I THINK THAT A NEW TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 51 THOUSANDS MILES WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS MEANING THAT FORD JUST DON'T WANT TO COVERED WHAT THEY DON'T DO RIGHT

I'VE HAD TO REPAIR MY SUNROOF TWICE COSTING OVER $3800. I'VE ONLY OPENED THE SUNROOF MAYBE 20 TIMES IN 2 YEARS AND NOW THE MOTOR IS DEFECTED. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL FORD TECHS AND THEY SAY THEY SEE ISSUES WITH THE SUNROOF ALL THE TIME. I HAVE PERSONAL FRIENDS WHO HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THEIR SUNROOF SHATTERED. A RECALL INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO OCCUR PLEASE.

ONLY 1 TRANSMISSION BOLT WAS ON TRUCK. COST ME $200 FOR THEM TO PUT 3 BOLTS TO HOLD TRANSMISSION. TRUCK MUST HAVE A DEFECTIVE PART TO CAUSE 2 OR 3 TRANSMISSION BOLTS TO COME OFF.

REAR WINDOW BLOW OUT. I TURNED ON MY VEHICLE THIS MORNING TO WARM UP. I TURNED ON THE DEFROSTERS AND WENT BACK INSIDE FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES. WHEN I CAME BACK OUTSIDE I COULD SMELL A ELECTRICAL TYPE BURNING SMELL. I AM A FIREFIGHTER AND AM FAMILIAR WITH THIS ODOR. NO SMOKE OR FLAMES EVER PRESENT/VISIBLE. I TURNED THEN SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD POP, REALIZING THAT BOTH SIDES OF MY REAR WINDOW HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING. NO ONE WAS IN THE VEHICLE AND I WAS THE ONLY ONE NEAR IT. NOTHING HIT THE WINDOW AND I HAD NEVER HAD THE SMELL IN MY TRUCK BEFORE.

REMOTE STARTED VEHICLE THIS MORNING. REACHED IN TO TURN ON DEFROSTER AND WENT BACK INTO GARAGE. ABOUT 3 MINUTES LATER, I HEARD A "POP" LOOKED OVER AND MY BACK GLASS HAD SHATTERED ON BOTH SIDES. INSIDE SMELT OF BURNING AND THERE WAS WIRES EXPOSED FROM THE GLASS.

TRAILER BLIND SPOT MONITOR IS TURNING ON AUTOMATICALLY DESPITE NO TRAILER BEING CONNECTED. DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TWO FIXES WITH NO RESOLUTION. WHEN TRAILER BLIND SPOT IS ENGAGED IT EMITS A FALSE BLIND SPOT MONITOR LIGHT, WHICH CAUSES UNCERTAINTY WHETHER IT IS SAFE TO MANEUVER OR NOT.

A chronic oil leak from the plastic oil pan. It has been fixed once in 2019, replaced in 2022 and again needs replacement in 2024. Only 39500 miles on the vehicle.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2017 FORD F150 FOR A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS VEHICLE HAS 30000 ON IT. I HAVE HAD FORD REPLACE MY LUG SWOLLEN LUG NUTS THEY HAVE REPLACED THEM TWO TIMES IN THE SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. THE ALUMINUM SEPARATES AND EXPANDS FROM THE STEEL BODY . THE LUG WRENCH THAT THEY INCLUDE IN THE VEHICLE TO CHANGE TIRE WILL NOT FIT LUG NUTS ONCE THEY HAVE SWOLLEN. SO IN A INSTANCE OF HAVING A FLAT TIRE ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CHANGE TIRE.

INTERMITTENT BRAKING ISSUE. BREAKS DO NOT HAVE MUCH BREAKING POWER. WHILE SETTING AT A RED LIGHT MORE PRESSURE NEEDS TO APPLIED TO THE BREAK PEDAL. IN SOME INSTANCES THE PEDAL TRAVELS AN ADDITIONAL 2 INCHES. LOSS OF BREAK HOLDING POWER CAUSED ME TO HIT A TRAILER BEING TOWED IN FRONT OF ME. MY BUMPER HAD TO BE REPLACED.

HAD A FLAT ON MY 2017 FORD F150. THE FACTORY LUG NUT WRENCH DID NOT FIT MY FACTORY LUG NUTS. WAS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE OF THIS. APPARENTLY THE LUG NUTS SWELL ABOVE 21MM TO WHERE YOU HAVE TO USE A 21.5MM OR 22MM WRENCH TO GET THE LUG NUTS OFF. THE FACTORY LUG NUT WRENCH IS 21MM. HAD TO PURCHASE A 22MM LUG NUT WRENCH TO REPLACE THE FACTORY ONE.

BACKUP CAMERA DOES NOT WORK - WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE, THE BACKUP CAMERA FAILS TO ACTIVATE. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY - SOMETIMES IT WILL HAPPEN THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN (AFTER BEING PARKED OVERNIGHT), SOMETIMES IT WILL HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AROUND (I.E. DRIVE FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, THEN PARK, THEN DRIVE AGAIN - THE CAMERA WILL FAIL TO ACTIVATE UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE). I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE DECEMBER 2017, AND FIRST NOTICED THE ISSUE ABOUT A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING. DEALER CLAIMS THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. COMMENTS POSTED ONLINE AT WWW.F150FORUM.COM SUGGEST THAT THIS MAY BE RELATED TO A FAILING APIM MODULE, AND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE.

COLD CRANKING NOISE CONCERNING ECOBOOST SYSTEM AND LIFTERS...MAKING LOUD NOISE AND I AM BEING TOLD IT'S NORMAL...PLUS CLUNKING NOISE UNDERNEATH MY TRUCK THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE MOTOR OR THE DRIVE SHAFTS IS GOING TO FALL OUT...I AM ALSO BEING TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS NORMAL...I KNOW BETTER...THE TRUCK IS DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE. NOW THEY ARE REFUSING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES.

MOONROOF BINDING UP. IT CONTINUES TO TRY AN OPEN FOR A FEW SECONDS WHICH COULD BIND UP MOTOR BURN IT OUT AS WELL AS POSSIBLE START A FIRE OR MELT PLASTIC. IT DOESNT EVEN OPEN IT JUST BINDS UP AN STOPS ALL THE TIME AN NOW DOESNT OPEN AT ALL. BEING ASE CERTIFIED AND KNOWING ENOUGH ABOUT ELECTRICITY THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE AS IT IT IS BINDING UP IF YOU CONTINUE TRYING TO USE IT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE AS WELL IF YOU ARE DRIVING AND GO TO USE IT MAY MAKE AN AWKWARD NOISE AND DISTRACT YOU FROM DRIVING AT THE TIME YOU TRY TO GET IT TO WORK. VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT THE TIME OF USE. AN THEN I TRIED IT STATIONARY AFTERWARDS AN THEN HAD TO DISCONNECT IT. HAVE YET TO FIX IT OR HAVE IT LOOKED AT AS I WILL FIX IT MYSELF DUE TO THE COST.

FRONT END SHIMMY / WOBBLE AT 55 MPH AFTER HITTING BUMP IN ROAD

WHEN SHIFTING INTO 4 WHEEI DRIVE I HEAR A LOUD "CLANK" EVEN WHEN PARKED. IN PARKING LOT IF I PUT IT IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE WAIT A SECOND BEFORE SHIFTING INTO DRIVE BUT WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE TO START MOVING "CLANK" NOW MY 4 WHEEL DRIVE IS INOPERABLE.

WATER IS GETTING IN THE TRUCK, WETTING AND STAINING THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG, AND COMING OUT OF THE DRIVER SIDE GRAB HANDLE, RUNNING DOWN THE ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS IS MOST APPARENT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED ON AN INCLINE DURING A RAIN STORM, WITH THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE LOWER THAN THE BACK.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HEADED SOUTH ON IH35 NEAR CARL'S CORNER TEXAS WHEN A LADY PULLED UP NEXT TO HIM AND WAS FLAGGING HIM DOWN. HE WAS AT EXIT #374 WHICH WAS HIS EXIT TO COME HOME. THE LADY EXITED AS WELL AND WAS SCREAMING AT HIM. HE THEN ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN TO HER SAYING YOUR TRUCKS ON FIRE. FEB 10TH 2019 THIS VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING IT. ON FEB 11TH 2019 THE DEALERSHIP THAT WE BOUGHT IT FROM TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE THEN SO OVER 5 MONTHS AT THIS POINT. FORD HAS YET TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSE THE FIRE EXCEPT THE 4X4 TRANSFER CASE MIGHT BE TO BLAME. IT HAS ONLY 36,438 MILES ON IT. SO THEY PLAN TO FIX WHAT THE FIRE DAMAGED AND GIVE IT BACK TO US. ME OR MY HUSBAND DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THAT VEHICLE ESPECIALLY SINCE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE IS UNDETERMINED. THIS IS SAD THAT A CAR MANUFACTURE HAS SO MUCH MONEY THE CONSUMER HAS NO RIGHTS. WE HAVE DELAYED OUR PAYMENTS WITH FORD MOTOR CREDIT FOR 3 MONTHS. NOW SINCE THE DEALERSHIP IS DRAGGING IT ALONG WITH WILL SOON BE REPOED. WE REFUSE TO PAY ON A VEHICLE WITH THIS SERIOUS ISSUE AND IS UNSAFE. AND IT'S STILL IN 100'S OF PIECES AT THE DEALERSHIP.

FROZEN DOOR LATCH NOT OPENING OR NOT LATCHING BEING PARKED 6 TIMES BEFORE AND AFTER GOING BACK TO THE DEALER

IN BELOW FREEZING CONDITIONS, THE DOOR LATCHES WILL NO LONGER OPERATE CAUSING THE DOORS TO OPEN FREELY. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AS I RECEIVED A "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION BULLETIN" FOR THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER THE FIX PROVIDED DOES NOT WORK. THERE IS CURRENTLY AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR VEHICLES FOR THE SAME MODEL YEAR, BUT MINE IS SUPPOSEDLY NOT IMPACTED. I'VE GOT A FRIEND WHO HAS A 2018 F-150 WHO HAS THE SAME ISSUE. THIS RECALL CLEARLY NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO BEYOND MODEL YEAR 2017 AND AN APPROPRIATE FIX PROVIDED AS THE ONE FORD HAS DOES NOT WORK.

MY 2017 F150 XLT WITH LESS THAN 23,000 MILES HAS HAD ITS OIL PAN TOTALLY REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME DUE TO GASKET PROBLEM. FIRST FAILURE WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 7,000 MILES. THE REPAIRS WERE DONE UNDER WARRANTY BUT IT IS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL YEAR ON LOTS OF OTHER OWNERS TRUCKS. EVEN FORD DEALERSHIPS WHO FOLLOW THE REPAIR WORK INSTRUCTION HAVE GOTTEN THE TRUCKS BACK INTO THEIR SHOP FOR REOCCURRING FAILURES. BOTH LEAKS WERE CAUGHT DURING REGULAR INSPECTION AND AT NORMAL OIL CHANGES DONE BY THE AUTHORIZED FORD DEALERSHIP. THIS IS AN SIGNIFICANT AND EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR A NEW TRUCK. I AM A VERY CONCERNED OWNER WORRIED ABOUT EVEN MORE FAILURES IN THE FUTURE. WHY NO PERMANENT FIX OR RECALL?
