PARKING BRAKE ALERT COMES ON READING PARKING BRAKE MALFUNCTION PLEASE HAVE IT CHECKED.THE PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT WORK AND THE ALERT KEEPS COMMING ON EVEN WHEN I HIT OK.TOOK IT IN 2 TIMES TO FORD DEAL AND THEY REPROGRAMMED BUT IT STILL COMES ON AFTER AWHILE WHEN IN DRIVE MODE.IT DOES IT WHEN IN MOTION OR PARKED.

VEHICLE HAS 23K MILES AND BLUE SMOKE BILLOWS FROM THE TAILPIPE ON COLD STARTUP. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CYLINDER HEADS AND VARIOUS O RINGS AND ADVISED THAT THE SMOKE SHOULD STOP AFTER 1-2 WEEKS. IT DID NOT. I RETURNED THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER IN 2 WEEKS AND THEY INSPECTED THE TRUCK FOR 3 DAYS CONCLUDING THAT IT RUNS "AS DESIGNED". BLUE SMOKES STILL BILLOWS FROM THE TAILPIPE ON COLD STARTUP WITH NO APPARENT HELP FROM FORD OR MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP!

. LAST SUNDAY I GOT A 2017 F150 XLT STUCK IN A SMALL TWO FOOT SNOW DRIFT. ONCE I GOT STUCK I TRIED ROCKING THE TRUCK, BUT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM FORWARD TO REAR WARD WITHOUT THE TRUCK COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS I GOT A FAULT WARNING FOR THE LIMITED SLIP DIFF. THE WARNING FOR THE POWER STEERING, THE ABS, THE PARKING BRAKE, THE HILL DESCENT, HILL START ASSIST, PARK ASSIST WARNING (WHICH I DO NOT HAVE), ADVANCED TRACK WARNING (WHICH I DO NOT HAVE) AND 4X4 LOW. ADDITIONALLY THE TRUCK WOULD SHIFT IN AND OUT OF 4 HIGH, BUT NOT 4 LOW. IN 4 HIGH NO TIRES WOULD MOVE. IN TWO HIGH ONLY THE LEFT REAR TIRE WOULD SPIN. BECAUSE OF DARKNESS AND GRIZZLY BEAR I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL MORNING TO WALK OUT FAR ENOUGH TO GET CELL RECEPTION. THE TEMP NEVER GOT BELOW 34 DEGREES, BUT IT DID RAIN AND SNOW ALL NIGHT. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK PULLED ME OUT OF THE DRIFT (A TOTAL OF 10 FEET) EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE POWER STEERING WORKED. IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE 3 RD DAY WHEN THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STARTED TO WORK. THE DEALER WILL NOT SEE ME UNTIL NEXT WEEK AND I AM AFRAID I WILL LOOSE ALL THE FAULT CODES BY THEN. ITS GREAT TO HAVE A 4X4 THAT ONLY WORKS ON DRY GROUND. HAD THIS HAPPENED IN THE WINTER OR FURTHER AWAY FROM CELL PHONE COVERAGE IT COULD HAVE PROVEN TO BE A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION

INTERMENT LOSS OF POWER FOR THREE TO FIVE SECONDS WHEN STARTING OUT. MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN OR STARTING OUT AT INTERSECTION IN TRAFFIC. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS APPEAR ON DASHBOARD. DIAGONASTICS DO NOT INDICATE CODE FOR THIS ISSUE. APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE ON SOCIAL MEDIA WITH THE 2.7 ECOBOOST W/6 SPEED TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 30 MPH WITHOUT WARNING.

(710 US-31 HARTSELLE, AL 35640, 256-773-2578) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE SENSOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

REAR WINDOW POPED OR SHATTERED FOR NO REASON. THERE WAS NOTHING BEHIND ME THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED AND IMPACT AS I WAS IN A BOAT RAMP WITH ONLY THE OCEAN BEHIND ME. WHEN I OPENED MY DOOR TO GET OUT I HEARD A LOUD POP NOISE. I LOOKED AROUND AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. I GOT MY BOAT OUT AND WHEN I STARTED LOADING THE TRUCK UP I NOTICED THE REAR WINDOW GLASS WAS BROKEN.

ENGINE KNOCKING ON A COLD STARTUP. THE KNOCK IS MORE EASILY HEARD FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE KNOCKING IS THE MOST NOTICEABLE FOR THE FIRST 30 SECONDS OF STARTUP. THIS OCCURS EVERY DAY. THE AMOUNT OF KNOCKING FOLLOWS AN INCREASE IN ENGINE RPM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH AND APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD.

COULD NOT STOP FOR RED LIGHT AND SMASHED INTO SOMEONEE

THE FORD NEW BACK TRUCK WINDOW EXPLODED!! NORMAL MORNING 85 DEGREES. HAVE READ IN U-TUBE NOW BECOMING A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS NEW FORD TRUCK MODEL. WE CALLED FORD. TRUCK UNDER WARRANTY BUT FORD REFUSE TO DO A THING ABOUT IT. EVEN THOUGH SO MANY OTHERS OWNERS OF THE F-150 HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE!!! IT WAS PARKED AS NORMAL. NOTHING HIT IT AND NO STRESS FRACTURES BEFORE WINDOW EXPLODED. IT JUST EXPLODED!!

NO BREAK LIGHTS, BACKUP LIGHTS, PARKING LIGHTS, TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS IN REAR.

I BOUGHT 2017 F-150 PLATINUM FROM LEVITTOWN FORD I OWN IT LESS THAN 1 YEAR AND HAVE NOW 15,000 MILES ON IT. MY PROBLEM FIRST STARTED AROUND MAY OF 2018 IT WAS RANDOM HAPPENING OFF AND ON I WAS GETTING A GRINDING NOISE WHEN I STARTED THE TRUCK ONLY WHEN I STARED IN USUALLY FIRST THING IN THE MORNING OR IF IT SAT FOR MORE THAN 6 OR MORE HOURS. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE AS THE SUMMER PROGRESSED I MADE MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH STEVENS FORD ON 07/10/2018 AFTER BEING TOLD THEY HAD A BACK LOG OF SEVERAL WEEKS AND THIS WAS THE EARLIEST APPOINTMENT I COULD GET. WELL I PICKED UP THE CAR AT NIGHT AND THE CLAIM THEY DID NOT HEAR THE NOISE YET ON THE RECEIPT IT SAYS DUE SHOP OVER LOAD. SO I MADE A APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THE EARLIEST DATE I COULD GET WAS 07/25/2018 AND THEY WERE FINALLY ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BEING THE TIMING CHAIN AND CAMS AS PER ATTACHED PAPER WORK. I WAS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR ALMOST ONE MONTH AND NOW AFTER PICKING IT UP I STILL FEEL A SLIPPAGE IN THE ENGINE AS I DRIVE IT. NOW AFTER DOING EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THE 3.5 6 CYLINDER ECO BOOST ENGINE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM DATING BACK TO 2004 AND HAVE REALLY NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. IT USUALLY EFFECTS THE ENGINE AFTER THE 60,000 WARRANTY EXPIRES AND I HAVE RARELY SEEN THIS OCCUR IN A TRUCK AS NEW AS MINE. I AM FIGHTING WITH FORD ON ALL AVENUES TO GET MY TRUCK BOUGHT BACK BY THEM BECAUSE I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THIS PRODUCT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO 4-HIGH MODE AND FAILED TO DISENGAGE. THE CHECK DRIVE TRAIN WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS AN ORANGE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND THE VEHICLE RESET ITSELF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (FOLSOM LAKE FORD, 12755 FOLSOM BLVD, FOLSOM, CA 95630, (916) 353-2000), BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS15183721. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,172.

VEHICLE HAS DANGEROUS ERRATIC AND INCONSISTENT STEERING AT ALL SPEEDS. PULLING, WANDERING, EASY TO STEER THEN VERY HARD STEERING. DIFFICULT AND MUCH EFFORT TO CORRECT STEERING AND STAY IN LANE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOORMATS WERE SOAKED BY RAIN WATER WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS WERE LEAKING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT WAS INFORMED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE WARRANTY ONLY COVERED MECHANICAL FAILURES. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT ANOTHER COMPANY PROVIDED SERVICES FOR INTERIOR DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ADDRESS THE WATER DAMAGE IN THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 11,057. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES, IT IS VERY EASY TO SIMULTANEOUSLY PUSH ON THE THROTTLE PEDAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, ONE TIME RESULTING IN A REAR-END COLLISION, THIS IS MY FIRST FORD AND THIS PROBLEM HAS NEVER HAPPENED IN ANY OF THE NUMEROUS VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED. I HAD THOUGHT THAT SOFTWARE WAS IN PLACE THAT WOULD NOT ALLOW THE ENGINE TO REV WITH THE BRAKE APPLIED. IF NOT SO, IT WOULD SEEM LIKE A VERY GOOD IDEA.

THE VEHICLE HAS A VERY NOTICEABLE VIBRATION AT 45 MPH COMING FROM THE REAR END . THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALER 6 TIMES NOW. THE MECHANIC THAT WENT ON A RIDE WITH ME STATED YES THAT HE' AGREES IT'S THERE BUT THAT THERE IS NO FIX FROM FORD YET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED; HOWEVER, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN TWO ADDITIONAL CRASHES AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. IN ONE CRASH, THE DRIVER SUSTAINED AN INJURED RIGHT ARM THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. DICK SMITH FORD (7201 GARNERS FERRY RD, COLUMBIA, SC) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING: WHEN DRIVING AROUND A CURVE I EXPERIENCE A MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL ACTUALLY MOVE TO THE LEFT WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING ME TO OVERCORRECT TO THE RIGHT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE PROPER LANE AND DIRECTION. THE ISSUE IS MORE PRONOUNCED GOING DOWN OR UP HILL AROUND A CURVE. IT ALSO HAPPENS ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT. THE 2017 TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 8K MILES AND HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER TWICE TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. IT IS ALSO MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN TOWING A TRAILER WHICH CAUSES SERIOUS CONCERN FOR OUR SAFETY. THE LOSS OF CONTROL HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 45MPH ON HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET. THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.

TRANSMISSION WILL STICK AND NOT CHANGE GEARS. LIKE A DEAD SPOT AND TRUCK WOULD NOT GO FASTER. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES.

WHILE DRIVE IN THE RAIN WITH THE CABIN HEATER ON THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE AND THEN THE REAR WINDOW OF MY F-150 TRUCK WINDOW SHATTERED (IT EXPLODED OUTWARDS FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CABIN) TOOK THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER TO FILE A CLAIM. AFTER SEVERAL HOURS AND THE DEALER CONTACTING THE WARRANTY DEPARTMENT I WAS TOLD THE DAMAGE WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY FORD THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS LOGGED ONLY 14,400 AT THE TIME THIS TIME AND I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT SOFT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE STOPPED BY REPEATEDLY APPLYING THE BRAKES AND USING THE TRAILER BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (ASHEVILLE FORD LINCOLN, 611 BREVARD RD, ASHEVILLE, NC) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKED INTERNALLY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18,300. *TT

WHILE IN MOTION, I ACCELERATED TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. UPON COMPLETING THE PASS, I PUMPED MY BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN. WHEN I RELEASED THE BRAKES, MY TRUCK RAPIDLY ACCELERATED AND WOULD NOT STOP ACCELERATING, THOUGH I HAD NOT TOUCHED THE GAS PEDAL AND TRIED BRAKING SEVERAL TIMES. THE ONLY WAY I COULD STOP THE SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATEION WAS TO PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND BRAKE. EVEN AS I DID THIS, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO TACH AT HIGH RPMS. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON AT LEAST TWICE, THE ISSUE FINALLY RESOLVED. THE DEALER FOUND ONLY 1 CODE ERROR, SHOWING THE HIGH TACH, AND BLAMED THE FLOOR MAT. I CAN SAY WITH 100% CERTAINTY, IT WAS NOT THE FLOOR MAT.

DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AND REAR DOORS DO NOT CLOSE IN COLD WEATHER. DOOR LATCHES HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH "NEW VERSION" THAT WAS DESIGNED AFTER A PREVIOUS RECALL. THE NEW LATCHES DO NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE STILL REMAINS AS DOORS WILL COME OPEN WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE ACCELERATING TO PASS SLOW VEHICLE, I PULLED BACK IN LANE AND ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN BUT THE ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE UP TO 70 MPH BEFORE I HEARD IT RELEASE AND THEN THE TRUCK SLOWED. WITHIN 20 MINUTES I ACCELERATED AGAIN AND ONCE AGAIN THE PEDAL STUCK AND CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT FOOT PRESSURE.

FORD F-150 LOST CONTROL AND ACCELERATED COMING OUT OF CAR WASH TUNNEL. CAR DID NOT RESPOND TO BRAKES AND ACCELERATED INTO A BUILDING INJURING DRIVER AND PEDESTRIAN.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGES BRAKES FOR NO APPARENT REASON. NO TRAFFIC OR OBSTACLE WAS IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE TO CAUSE IT TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 70MPH. MESSAGES AS FOLLOWS: HILL DESCENT CONTROL WARNING ILLUMINATED CAUSING BRAKES TO ENGAGE 3/14/2018. FORWARD COLLISION WARNING 3/14/2018. SELF-PARKING FEATURE BACKED MY VEHICLE INTO A LARGE BOULDER BESIDE MY TRUCK WHILE PARKING. IF IT HAD BEEN A PERSON BESIDE MY TRUCK, THEY COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. HAPPENED ABOUT FEBRUARY 15, 2018

VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER WHILE ACCELERATING THRU AN INTERSECTION. THE ORANGE WRENCH ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH WITH "CHECK MANUAL". I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING DOWN AND UP SMOOTHLY. IT TRIED TO START THE TRUCK OFF IN 5TH GEAR FROM A STOP. AFTER BEING SHUT DOWN FOR AN HOUR, THE ISSUE WENT AWAY. DEALER SCANNED IT THIS MORNING AND SAID NO CODE WAS STORED.

WE ARE EXPERIENCING SEPARATE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES WITH OUR F-150: 1. THE CAPLESS GAS TANK SYSTEM CAUSES THE GAS SHUTOFF WHEN REFILLING TO NOT STOP AT 'FULL'. THIS CAUSES GAS TO SPRAY IN AN ARC FOR 3-4 SECONDS - COVERING BOTH PEOPLE AND THE GROUND WITH APPROX 16-24 OZ OF GAS. 2. THE FRONT DOORS, WHEN SUBJECTED TO FREEZING TEMPERATURES WILL OPEN BUT WILL NOT RECLOSE UNTIL THE LATCH MECHANISM IS C OMPLTWTELY DEFROSTED - APPROX 15 MINUTES. THIS MEANS THAT DURING THAT TIME THE DOORS ARE UNABLE TO BE CLOSED AT ALL. ADDITIONALLY, THE REAR VIEW CAMERA/DRIVER INFORMATION SCREEN IS 'SHORTING OUT', CAUSING THE CAMERA TO BE 'STUCK ON' OR THE INABILITY TO TOGGLE TO NAVIGATION OR FEATURES BEYOND THE MAIN SCREEN UNTIL A MINIMUM SPEED (APPROX 15-20 MPH) IS REACHED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE, WHILE IDLING, THE VEHICLE LUNGED IN REVERSE AT APPROXIMATELY 8-10 MPH. A PEDESTRIAN WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE VEHICLE AND STOP THE ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HEMBORG FORD (1900 HAMMER AVE, NORCO, CA), BUT IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT INQUIRED ABOUT A RECALL FOR BRAKE FAILURE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD MOTORS AND WAS ADVISED TO CALL NHTSA. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

FORD DOOR LATCH RECALL: AFFECTED MODELS ARE THE F-150S MADE AT THE COMPANY'S DEARBORN PLANT FROM MARCH 12, 2014, THROUGH DEC. 31, 2016; MY TRUCK WAS MFG APRIL 2017 AT THE DEARBORN PLANT AND IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. DOOR LATCHES FREEZE AND THEN WILL NOT ALLOW THE DOOR TO LATCH PROPERLY WHEN YOU TRY CLOSING THE DOOR.

DOOR LATCH MECHANISM DOES NOT CLOSE WHEN EXPOSED TO FREEZING TEMPERATURES. MY VIN NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL REF: NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V652000

2017 FORD F-150. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DOOR LACTH FREEZING IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES. *LD THE CONSUMER WAS ADVISED THERE WAS A RECALL ON OTHER MODEL VEHICLES FOR THE SAME FAILURE. *JS

ON 2/21/2018 WHILE TRAVELLING WEST ON I290 IN AUBURN MY LEFT REAR DOOR OPENED UNEXPECTEDLY AND CANNOT BE CLOSED AND STAY CLOSED. THE DOOR LATCH APPEARS NOT TO BE WORKING. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND NO REMEDY IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. IF MY DOGS HAD BEEN IN THE VEHICLE THIS MORNING THEY WOULD HAVE DIED. THIS IS A DEADLY DEFECT AND ALL THE 2017 FORD F150 CREW CABS SHOULD BE PULLED OFF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY FOR SAFETY REASONS. DOORS ON VEHICLES SHOULD NOT OPEN WITHOUT ANY HUMAN INTERVENTION.

FIRST EVENT: WHILE I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM THE COUNTRYSIDE ON A TWO WAY ROAD ' SINGLE LANE -, I OVERTOOK A BIG TRUCK ON AN UPHILL AREA, AND ALL THE SUDDEN MY TRUCK DIED. LOST ALL THE POWER AND I HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY MANEUVER TO AVOID THE BIG TRUCK I WAS OVERTAKING AND ALSO THE CAR THAT APPEARED AT THE CURVE AHEAD. IT WAS CLOSE. I ALMOST CRASHED. AFTER CALMED ME DOWN, I STEP OUT OF THE TRUCK, OPENED THE CAPOT WHILE THE ENGINE WAS IDLING AND MAKING THIS HUGE 'VALVE' NOISE. I TOOK MY PHONE AND RECORDED A VIDEO. SOME COMPONENT ON A SIDE OF THE VALVE COVER WAS MOVING AND MAKING THAT NOISE AND ALL THE SUDDEN, I SMELLED GAS, LOOKED DOWN THE SCAPE MANIFOLD AND SAW GAS ALL OVER IT. I RAN BACK TO THE CABIN AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, TOOK THE EXTINGUISHER AND RAN BACK TO THE CAPOT. FORTUNATELY NOTHING HAPPENED. SECOND EVENT: WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AT 120 KM/H, ON A PRETTY FLAT AREA, THE GEAR SHIFTED FROM 10 TO 7 WITH NO REASON AT ALL, AND I FELT LIKE THE TRUCK STARTED TO ACTIVATE THE BRAKES. THE HIGHWAY WAS CLEAR IN FRONT OF ME. NO CAR OR OBSTACLES WERE NEAR THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK. SECONDS AFTER THAT, THE ENGINE STARTED TO FAIL, DROPPING THE RPMS LIKE THOSE OLD MECHANICAL CARBURETOR STUCK WITH A DIRT AND SUDDENLY, ALL GOT BACK TO NORMAL. FORTUNATELY WAS ALMOST REACHING THE TOLL CONTROL TO ACCESS TO MY CITY. SO I SLOWED DOWN TO 50 KMS/H, PUT MY FOOT ON OVER THE BRAKES AND STARTED TO PRESS IT VERY GENTLE. SUDDENLY AND WITH NO WARNING, THE TRUCK SPED UP ITSELF FULL GAS AND I HAD TO DODGE A CAR THAT WAS IN FRONT OF ME DRIVING ON THE LINE TO THE TOLL AND PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD. SEVERAL LIGHTS INVADED THE DASHBOARD; LOW COOLANT, CHECK ENGINE, THE DASH BOARD DIMMER LIGHT AND OTHERS THAT I COULDN'T SAW ON THIS FAST FLASH OF LIGHTS. IT WAS LIKE THE CPU WAS CRAZY. AFTER THAT, TRUCK WENT BACK TO NORMAL, BUT SEVERAL OBD2 ERRORS GOT STORED.

DOORS ARE FREEZING SHUT WHEN TEMPS DROP BELOW FREEZING. WHEN ABLE TO OPEN DOOR OFTEN DOOR WONT CLOSE AND LOCK WILL NEED TO BE PUSHED DOWN IN ORDER FOR DOOR TO LATCH. ONE TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS DOORS HAVE COME OPEN WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION AFTER FROZEN.

DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE, HAVE TO PUT A HEATER ON THEM TO GET THEM TO LATCH, FORD TELLS ME I'M NOT APART OF THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH THE TRUCK HAS THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE RECALL.

THE BLACK STITCHING ON THE LEATHER AREAS OF THE DASH IS TURNING PINK. I BELIEVE IT IS BEING CAUSED BY SUN EXPOSURE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE SENT PICTURES TWICE TO FORD EXPLAINING THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE REFUSED BOTH TIMES TO COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY, STATING IT WAS CAUSED FROM HARSH CHEMICALS BEING USED IN CLEANING. I HAVE NEVER CLEANED THE DASH, ONLY DUSTED IT WITH A CLEAN CLOTH. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK DECEMBER 9, 2017. I NOTICED THIS AND REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER FEBRUARY 9, 2018.

FORD F-150 DOOR LATCH WILL NOT LOCKS OR CLOSE PROPERLY IN COLD WEATHER AND FREEZING TEMPERATURES. USING A BUNGEE TO KEEP DOOR SHUT. DEALERSHIP SAID THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS THE MOST CURRENT RECALL PARTS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS CAN AND WILL BE A SAFETY HAZARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR OPENED. IN ORDER TO AVOID A CRASH, THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT AND LANDED IN A DITCH AS THE VEHICLE STRUCK SOME BUSHES. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V652000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED FIVE TIMES SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE DEALER (VINTON BAKER FORD IN FAIRVIEW OKLAHOMA) WAS CALLED AND STATED THAT THE REMEDY WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED ACCORDING TO THE RECALL REMEDY BUT THE SCRATCHES SUSTAINED TO THE VEHICLE'S PAINT WAS THE CONTACT'S RESPONSIBILITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND TURNING IN EITHER DIRECTION, THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS WOULD SUDDENLY UNLATCH AND OPEN. THE FAILURE OCCUR WHILE THE DOORS WERE IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND WHEN THE WEATHER TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW 15 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (CORRY FORD, 13626 RT.6, CORRY, PA 16407) AND REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V652000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. *TT CONSUMER STATED DOOR DOESN'T SHUT AND LATCH DOES NOT WORK. UPDATED 12/13/18*JB

I WAS SHOCKED AT THE NUMBER OF F150'S ON THE WEB WITH BRAKE PEDALS SUDDENLY GOING TO THE FLOOR DURING ALL TYPES OF STOPPING SITUATIONS. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO SPAN 2016-17 MODELS REGARDLESS OF ENGINE. IT STARTED YESTERDAY WITH A FREEWAY OFF-RAMP FAILURE AND PUT ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A RELATIVELY SAFE INTERSECTION TODAY... NO BRAKES. I'VE SEEN MASTER CYLINDERS REPLACED TO DEALERS STATING THAT IS THE NORMAL OPERATION. THAT LAST PART IS PRETTY LAME... BRAKE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR? THE BRAKE INITIALLY SEEMS TO WORK AND THEN THE PEDAL SINKS SLOWLY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKING FORCE AT THAT POINT. AT A FULL STOP IN PARK, I CAN REPEAT THE FAILURE. TOUCH THE BRAKE AND IT APPEARS TO BE OK. QUICKLY TOUCH IT AGAIN AND IT IMMEDIATELY SINKS TO THE FLOOR. APPARENTLY KNOWLEDGEABLE DEALER INDICATED THAT THERE MAY BE AN ABS SOLENOID STICKING CYCLING BRAKE FLUID BACK TO THE RESERVOIR INSTEAD OF BEING APPLIED TO BRAKE PRESSURE. THIS SOUNDED MUCH MORE LOGICAL THAN REPLACING THE MASTER CYLINDER UNLESS THE ABS IS INTEGRATED INTO IT IN SOME MANNER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR LATCHES BECAME FROZEN AND FAILED TO OPERATE.
