2012 FORD F-150 Electrical System Problems

Affected vehicle: Drivers side door latch stopped latching entirely in frozen conditions and then thawed conditions. A frozen door latch, or a bent or kinked door latch actuation cable, may result in a door that will not open, will not close, or opens while driving condition, increasing the risk of injury. This year needs to be added to the recall. Recall 17S33

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2012 Ford F-150. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 131,402, and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 155,351.

Previously had the vehicle diagnostic at Georgia Lina automotive into which I can provide the diagnostics later I was advised that it may be a internal issue dealing with the instrumental cluster a continuously battery warning flash on the dash panel. I was also told that it may be a electrical problem that even cause a fire internally which may damage the vehicle. I was told that out of pocket calls would be $1,956.05 I reviewed all of the issues that are considered or recall and wiring was most definitely listed under recall versus warranty. I've most recently had the issue of the powertrain warranty for the transmission taken care of under the customer satisfactory program. Unfortunately they did not have this particular issue of the instrument cluster listed due to faulty wiring. Now there maybe many others that face the very same issue, for it seems to also affects the Bluetooth connecting with phone under sync. And I am submitting this complaint in a better hope for for the review by your board or committee to conduct their own independent investigation which may makes the difference not only for me but once again for many others. I don't know if there's window. Past the 15 years if a vehicle has been previously purchased such as myself and there was a recall for this particular issue does the manufacturer allows the new owner a grace period as a courtesy which I believe would be appropriate as well as deemed it in the respect of hospitality. I thank you for hearing my complaint hopefully once again it makes the difference not only for me but for others as well. Your time and consideration is highly appreciated, Respectfully Submitted

Fuel pump went bad causing the pump to overdraw electricity on the electrical circuit which melted the fuse in the fuse box. The fuse and fuse position was melted beyond being able to use this again. It could have caused a fire in the engine compartment if the circumstances were different. My mechanic reported that he's seen some of these melt the whole fuse box, creating major damage and a major fire hazard. he reported there is a Temporary Service Bulletin out for this issue, so it seems like the manufacturer knows its and issue, but has not chosen to do anything about it.

The transmission made a noise of metal and all electrical when out while driving but the engine stay on but no power to the road. yes its available. my car loss all power electrical and power to the road, had to put off to the side on the road and turn the truck off and on again. The problem has been reproduced but not confirmed by a dealer. I have done a existential look of the under and power train and cant see everything out of place. yes like every warning light when on seconds before all power when out. has never done that before.

I started getting a notification on my dash about a issue with the charging system. I checked system and it is fine. Now I am getting other lights on my dash and head lights flashing. Come to find out, it's a bad Body control module. I also have a steering issue, from time to time the truck is hard to steer and I been told it's signs of a bad rack and pinion. I also have had the same issues with my 2011 F-150. The bad body control module I fixed but the steering if bad. I have read on Ford forums that others across the country are have the same issues but of course no recall.

This truck is a safety hazard! The waterpump had to be replaced due to overheating, plus numerous other engine issues. it only has 137,000 miles on it But the REAL safety hazard is the power steering goes out at random times. and when this happens the dash goes blank. This has happened 4 times and each time we were lucky it was not on a busy highway, and close to home. The mechanic did everything he knew to do, and when we got it back....It did it again!!! Now, supposedly it is fixed, and we drove it home with no issues.....but...again, they are random, and I am scared to drive the truck. Will it take someone getting killed for this recall to happen? I have seen numerous post about this happening to others. I live on a winding back road, and if the power steering went out, I dont think it would end well. We are thinking of selling it, but I cant in my heart sell it to someone knowing these issues, and if we trade at a dealership, they will find numerous problems and never give us what it is worth, even though these problems are not from neglect

Ecoboost engine shut down on highway in rush hour traffic. Had my truck in the shop after 9526.00 in repairs and new engine it happened again this week. 1 year later. My truck was under 2 warranty extensions . And was in the Ford dealership at those times. I mentioned to service manager that it seems that possible could be the problem. Now I'm stuck with this mess . And it took 18 months for them to fix/ not fix it. Ford dealership

My vehicle is experiencing an intermittent loss of the transmission output speed sensor (oss) signal to the powertrain control module resulting in a temporary, unintended downshift into first gear. In some cases, the oss signal recovers while Im driving, and the vehicle resume normal function; in other cases, my vehicle needs to be stopped and restarted to regain normal transmission operation. I believe Ford is aware of three reports of accidents and no injuries related to this condition on the affected vehicles.

I had just purchased this well-used 2012 F150XL [XXX] ) because well into retirement at [XXX] and officially handicapped, it was all I could afford and had to get a personal loan for it anyway. First thing was a Lake Keowee Ford (REFLASH RECALL) which was performed and within a few days, everything electrical stopped and the battery started draining overnight over and over. The truck would not start, the column shifter was locked in Park and I could not even push it clear of a carport for a tow truck. With endless research, I find that this Shift Interlock failure is very, very common on these trucks of all related years and mileages. Below is a quote from a site: According to a survey, more than 75000 complaints reported against this problem across the USA in the last 15 to 17 years. In addition, it has affected the reliability of these F150 models due to sudden column shifter failure with minor internal damage. In my case, the Horn stopped working, the seats no longer adjust, the truck is in Limp Mode only and the steering is now only manual. It is a danger to drive, yet Lake Keowee is too busy to return my calls and chat efforts, a local repair facility charged $800 to NOT fix it and refuse to look at it again for “maybe” two weeks” As said, I am disabled and a lifelong type one Diabetic so very brittle. I require a means of transportation, yet no one cares enough to offer / or knows how to fix it. This is a known problem that Ford has gotten away with for decades now and an official Recall on the Shift Interlock needs to be fixed. The ball is in your court now.

Back-up camera works sometimes then goes blank

While driving down the highway, a wrench appeared on the display, then the speedometer went down to zero and the truck wasn’t shifting or accelerating. I took it to the Ford dealership and the diagnosed it as an issue with the Leadframe sensor assembly. They also let me know this is a known issue and there was an extended warranty program that my vehicle is over mileage for. The repair cost estimate was $800 for parts/labor. They also stated that the part is on back order and may be a month before they could get it. When I asked about driving with the issue they said it won’t do damage to my transmission but may intermittently cause shifting issues and could result in loss of reverse. I don’t feel comfortable driving it like that but it is my only vehicle. I also contact Ford customer care directly but there was nothing they could do to assist and pointed me here.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle unintendedly downshifted from 6th to 1st gear. The contact shifted the vehicle into neutral and coasted to the side of the roadway. The vehicle was turned off and restarted and regained proper function. The contact stated that the turn signal was also blinking abnormally. Additionally, the speedometer failed while making a left turn at slow speeds. The vehicle was restarted to remedy the failure. The contact also stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic and was informed that the vehicle had been producing incorrect DTC codes. The vehicle was diagnosed, and it was determined that the molded leadframe had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 138,000.

Service Advance Trac warning light comes on when backing while steering wheel turned. Multiple instances. Clears after a few minutes, but researching issue seems to be widespread across the Ford community, and has resulted in steering locking up while vehicle is in motion. Scheduled for maintenance visit to local dealership to diagnose. Codes read were C1963 & U0428

Today, My 2012 Ford F150 would crank, but would never start. The vehicle had gas and no issues with the battery. When this occurred today, I found out online that the 2009-2014 Ford F150s have a common issue associated with Fuse 27. In 2015, Ford issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB 15-0137) related to this issue, but according to Ford’s Customer Service I was never informed of this TSB because it did not include my truck’s VIN number. None the less it appears to be the same issue as noted in that TSB. After the truck wouldn’t start today, I inspected the Engine Compartment Fuse box. It appears the Fuse 27 which provides power to the Fuel Pump has a commonly known issue of burning up. For my instance today this did appear to be the problem. Fuse 27 was completely burned up on the side of the fuse closest to the engine. Fortunately, I was parked in this instance and my safety or the safety of others was not put at risk, but my big concern is if the fuse were to go out while driving down the road or highway. The sudden loss of fuel due to this common electrical issue could have greatly put my safety and the safety of others at risk. The only warning message that I noticed prior to this issue was a battery warning, but when the vehicle was taken by an auto parts store to pull the code and check the battery, there was not issue with the battery. Note: The battery was replace 5 months ago. I believe this common issue that I and other Ford F150 owners have experience should be investigated further by the NHTSA to keep myself and others safe when driving or traveling in a 2012 Ford F150 to avoid the sudden loss of fuel to the engine that could result in significant injury or death.

vehicle died when driving (and has continued to die when driving). Seems to sputter as if downshifting and then totally stalls out, causing safety concern when driving in traffic and randomly dying. Luckily had somewhere to pull off of the road and not cause an accident. Have confirmed with auto repair shop that the main concern is the powertrain control module. Shop has been able to replicate this happening as they have driven it as well. No warning lamps/lights/etc present prior to this happening.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle lost electronic functions. The vehicle then shifted abnormally before downshifting into first gear, causing the vehicle to come to a sudden stop. The contact stated that he was able to maneuver the vehicle to the shoulder of the roadway before the vehicle went into LIMP Mode. After restarting the vehicle, the electronic functionality returned. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the powertrain control module. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V248000 (Power Train). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 127,000.

The problem with this vehicle is the body control module has gone out. It controls everything from the safety functions to back up cameras and engine function and starting. My truck first, lost its back up camera within the first year of purchase, then the driver side, turn signals, stopped working, the battery drains overnight, and the latest issue is that the truck will turn off while driving down the road. Three months ago, the engine cut off and all systems locked up while I was driving 45 mph in town. There are no issues with any other system in the truck. Mechanics have tested everything and state. It is only the body control module. I am unable to purchase a body control module from Ford and my mechanic, the Ford mechanics, the Ford distributor for this region, nor Carmax, where I bought the car can get the part because Ford says that all of their shelf held parts for this vehicle type are defective. They state is a known issue and there is no date for resolution at all. The date on the shelf hold is zero month zero day zero year meaning no date. The body control module in this series of Ford F1 50s is a “known issue” to Ford. Due to their semi conductor manufacturer contract that has lapsed for this older technology, they state that the 4000 vehicle’s that currently require this part are not they’re greatest concern. They stated that there is an indefinite “shelf hold” on this part due to their only being less than 50 of them available for anyone to purchase. Those parts that are being held are also suspect of defect. Since I have only owned this vehicle for two years and it is under the extended warranty, I purchased with it having only 19,000 miles on it that I have put on it, it seems that they should at least allow me to buy one of the shelf, held pieces to replace mine. Please help the 4000 of us. Please encourage them to do what’s right for all of us. I still owe $17k on a non-running vehicle Carmax or Ford wont buy back.

TEMPORARY DOWNSHIFT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN HIGHWAY SPEED. DEALER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND THE PART THEY NEED IS UNAVABLE. aBLE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK IN MANUAL UNTIL THE PROBLEM BEGAN HAPPENING WHILE IN MANUAL, TRUCK IS NOT DRIVABLE.

The vehicle would down shift aggressively into first gear. The speedometer and gear displays would not function showing 0mph while driving. The vehicle would move through gears erratically. Driver and passengers would be jerked forward.The vehicle has been inspected by an authorized Ford dealer. There were no indicator lights at the start of the issue. Indicator light appeared after multiple incidents spanning over a few months .

Car was showing near empty but won’t be able to add more fuel.

Unsure of how fire started but truck was in garage at repair facility and the dash spontaneously caught fire and burned. The truck had been parked for over 48 hours and keys were not in ignition . The truck can be seen on security camera video with a small flash starting in the dash then larger flames inside the cab. It burned for about 3 minutes then the fired died out but not before completely burning the dash . There is security camera footage which was too large to upload.

The truck will randomly downshift while driving losing all power on the highway not allowing the truck to increase in speed until it is turned off and restarted. After it is restarted, the speedometer stays at 0 not showing how fast we are going. While this is happening, the check engine light flashes. I have contacted the Ford dealership in our area multiple times over the last month, and they have yet to respond on the concern. Not all the trucks electrical components are working. The radio, power locks, power windows, and horn do not work. In July 2022 the truck was taken to a Ford dealership to be diagnosed, and they couldn't find a reason/cause for this in order to get the truck repaired.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford F-150. The contact stated while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed; however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The mechanic was able to start the vehicle. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH the vehicle lost motive power without warning. The contact stated that while looking under the hood he became aware that the pump fuse had dislodged. The contact replaced the pump fuse and the vehicle was able to restart however, the failure reoccurred. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the fuse box needed to be rewired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not under recall. The failure mileage 170,000.

Vehicle lost its power in the power steering system, and you lose all control over the vehicle and you can't move left or right Making it very dangerous for me while it occurred, since I was unable to move the car towards any direction.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford F-150. The contact stated that upon taking the vehicle to an independent mechanic to replace all four tires, he was informed that the lug nuts on all four wheels were fractured and swollen. The contact stated that the lug nuts were replaced. Additionally, the contact stated that the tachometer and the speedometer needle had detached. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but did not provide any assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

I turned on the rear defrost and my rear window exploded on the passenger side.

Wrench light comes on and down shifts without warning. Very scary when on the highway at 70mph

After starting the vehicle and putting it into drive, the vehicle would not shift out of 1st gear. RPS revved nearly to red-line and even when I removed my foot from the gas pedal, the revs remained high. Even when underway, the speedometer registered 0 MPH and the odometer was showing only dashes "-------------". After a short time, the wrench symbol appeared on the display and the airbag warning icon was illuminated. I pulled over and turned the truck off and back on and it operated normally. No error codes were stored and my service shop will not work on it since it is not happening all the time. On a different occasion about a week ago, I was driving up a residential street incline and the truck was not shifting from 2nd gear. I pressed the accelerator more and all of sudden the truck shifted extremely rough jerking myself and my passenger unsafely. After this the truck stuck in gear, displayed the wrench symbol and illuminated the air bag warning icon. This looks to be highly related to Ford Safety Recall 19S07 but my truck is not covered by this recall.

OPEN RECALL HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THERE WAS AN INTERMITTENT INTERNAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. ECKENROD FORD LINCOLN (5255 AL-157, CULLMAN, AL 35058, (800) 944-1389) INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED TO BE DIAGNOSED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND INFORMED THE DEALER THAT TWO SENSORS AND THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURES WERE A KNOWN ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE REPAIRED BY THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *BF*JB

WHILE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN IN MAIN LANES OF AN INTERSTATE. THE STALLED ENGINE RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF ALL POWER ASSIST FEATURES INCLUDING POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. WE WERE ABLE TO NAVIGATE ACROSS SEVERAL LANES BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP IN A TRAFFIC LANE BUT NOT SAFELY OFF THE INTERSTATE. AFTER CALLING FOR A TOW AND REQUESTED SERVICE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A FUSE POWERING THE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP HAD "BURNED" OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SIMPLE SOLUTION, UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS DETERMINED THE FUSE PANEL HAD BEEN DAMAGED AND WOULD NO LONGER ACCEPT A FUSE AND HAS TO BE MODIFIED WITH THE FUSE LOCATION MOVED TO A NEW LOCATION AND UPGRADED TO A MORE ROBUST FUSE AND FUSE PLACEMENT SLOT. FORD HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS ONLY ELECTED TO FIX THOSE VEHICLES THAT EXHIBIT FAILURE AND AT THE COST OF THE CONSUMER IF NOT WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN RETURNED TO FORD DEALERS MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO MENTION OF THIS PROBLEM OR REPAIR. FORD HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB 15-0137) AND HAS CREATED A SPECIFIC REPLACEMENT KIT, WHICH INCLUDES INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL NECESSARY PARTS TO PERFORM THE RELOCATION (MOTORCRAFT # EL3Z-14293-A). THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT IMPACTS THE SAFETY OF FORD'S F150 OWNERS, THEIR PASSENGERS AND THOSE THAT SHARE THE ROAD WITH THEM. FAILURE OF ALL POWER ASSIST FUNCTIONS WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS SCARY AND CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THOSE IN THE VEHICLE AND THOSE AROUND IT. IT ALSO CREATES AN EVEN MORE DANGEROUS SITUATION IF THE VEHICLE WAS BEING USED TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION, STALLED AND THEN STOPPED IN THE CENTER OF THE INTERSECTION. INCLUDED ARE PICTURES OF THE FUSE AND THE FUSE BLOCK DAMAGED DURING THE FAILURE AND HONESTLY, A FIRE COULD HAVE EASILY STARTED AS A RESULT OF THIS FAILURE.

I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN APRIL OR MAY. WHEN MY TRUCK IS STATIONARY AND TURNED OFF WITH THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION, MY DASH LIGHTS DO NOT SHUT OFF. I DIDN'T NOTICE THIS THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE, AT NIGHT, MY LIGHTS STAY ON FOR ABOUT 20-30 SECONDS AND THEN SHUT OFF. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THIS, I GOT HOME FOR THE NIGHT, PUT MY TRUCK IN PARK, SHUT IT OFF, AND TOOK OUT THE KEYS. I USED MY REMOTE TO LOCK THE TRUCK. GOT IN IT THE NEXT DAY AND IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. I HAD TO PUT IT ON THE BATTERY CHARGER FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND FINALLY GOT IT STARTED BUT I NOTICED WHILE CHARGING IT (WITH THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION) THAT MY DASH LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. ITS ALMOST LIKE MY TRUCK DOES NOT KNOW THAT IT IS IN PARK AND IT THINKS IT IS STILL IN GEAR WHICH KEEPS MY DASH LIGHTS ON. A FEW DAYS BEFORE I STARTED EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE, MY REMOTE STARTER WOULD NOT WORK ALL OF THE TIME. IT WAS VERY HIT OR MISS. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS.

VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 45000 MILES. HAS ERRATIC LOSS OF POWER WHILE ACCELERATING. EVIDENCE OF WATER IN THE AIR INTAKE. RESEARCH IS SHOWING THAT THE ECOBOOST ENGINE IS COLLECTING MORE WATER IN THE INTERCOOLER THAN THE ENGINE CAN CONSUME. PROBLEMS INCREASES IN SOUTHERN HUMID STATES. THIS IS PROBLEM CAUSED BY FAULTY ENGINEERING IN THE 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE AND COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS DUE TO UNPREDICTABLE LOSS IN POWER. LOSS OF POWER IS FELT WHILE DRIVING ON CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING.

THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE CONTACT POWERED OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE, HE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CROSSROAD FORD OF WAKE FOREST, INC. (10101 CAPITAL BLVD, WAKE FOREST, NC 27587, (877) 331-8117), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND FILED A CASE.

THE VEHICLE WOULD DOWNSHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR WITHOUT WARNING, HAS OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO REMAIN IN 1ST GEAR AFTER THESE INCIDENTS AND INTERMITTENTLY WHEN LEAVING FROM A STOP, AT AN INTERSECTION. VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES, IN WHICH CASE THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYED AN ILLUMINATED MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT AND GONE INTO LIMP MODE, WITH ONLY 5TH GEAR AVAILABLE, WHILE IN AN INTERSECTION. THIS PROBLEM WOULD ALSO CAUSE THE ODOMETER TO READ '-------.--' AND THE SPEEDOMETER TO READ '0 MPH', EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, TRAVELLING AT ANY SPEED. VEHICLE IS IN OTHERWISE PERFECT OPERATING CONDITIONS. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE P0720 WAS DISPLAYED DURING THESE INCIDENTS. THE MANUFACTURER HAS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 16N02 FOR 'CERTAIN' VEHICLES, IN WHICH THE DEALERS ARE REPLACE THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION. IN THE CASE OF MY VEHICLE, THIS PROGRAM DID NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME, THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE SOURCE OF THE ISSUE AND SUBSEQUENTLY REPLACED. WITH MY VEHICLE NOT APPLYING FOR THE NOTED CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM, WITH THE SAME FAULTY PART AS NOTED WITHIN THE SPECIFIC CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM, IT IS MY OPINION THAT THE AFFECTED VEHICLES WITH DEFICIENT MOLDED LEAD FRAMES IS FAR GREATER THAN WHAT WAS INITIALLY THOUGHT AND THEREFORE, THE RECALL PROGRAM SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ALL F-150S AND SIMILAR VEHICLES WITHIN THE SPECIFIED BUILD DATES, AS NOTED WITHIN THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM. THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME FAILURE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND CAUSES SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS FOR THE DRIVERS OF THOSE VEHICLES AND TO THE TRAVELLING PUBLIC.

Mileage: 142,300

THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AND POWER FUSES BOTH MELTED WHICH HAS CAUSED STARTING ISSUES AND ENGINE MISFIRES. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THE SAME FUSES MELTING IN AGES 2010 -2014 OF THE SAME FORD F-150 TRUCKS. THIS SHOULD BE UNDER A FORD RECALL PROGRAM AS IT CAUSED TRUCKS TO LOOSE POWER.

TRUCK GOES INTO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING AND DISPLAYS A WRENCH ON THE SCREEN. HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT FULL SPEED AND ONCE WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. OUR LOCAL FORD SAYS THEY CANNOT SEE US FOR 3 MORE WEEKS BECAUSE THEY ARE SO BUSY. A LOCAL MECHANIC TELLS US IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY. FROM WHAT I READ THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I'M TRULY SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE JUST ALL THE SUDDEN LOSES ALL ACCELERATION AND STOPS. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT MOVING IS TO PUT IT IN PARK, TURN IT OFF AND RE-START.

THIS IS NOT A DEFECTIVE GLASS OR FRAME ISSUE. THIS IS STRICTLY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE ON THE DEFROSTER. FROM WHAT I'VE LEARNED ABOUT IT, IT SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, NOT JUST FREAK COINCIDENCE. IF MORE PEOPLE LIVED IN COLDER CLIMATES THERE WOULD BE MORE COMPLAINTS. FRIDAY DEC. 16, 2016, AROUND 8 PM. I STARTED MY FORD F150 AND TRIED TO TURN REAR DEFOGGER ON. HIGH THAT DAY WAS 32, LOW 22. AT THAT TIME OF DAY I WOULD EXPECT IT WAS CLOSER TO 22 THAN 32. THE INDICATOR LIGHT LIGHT FOR THE DEFROSTER FLASHED ON, THEN WENT OUT. I TRIED AGAIN, THIS TIME IT STAYED ON FOR 15 OR 20 SECS. I BACKED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND WHEN SHIFTER FROM REVERSE TO FORWARD I NOTICED INDICATOR LIGHT WAS OFF AGAIN. I DROVE 50 TO 100 YARDS WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP. THE STREET IN MY SUBDIVISION ARE ASPHALT AND HAVE NO POTHOLES, IT WAS REPLACED LAST SUMMER. I THOUGHT I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING, AND REALIZED THE REAR WINDOW ON PASSENGER SIDE WAS SHATTERED. THE WINDOW WAS STILL IN FRAME, NO HOLES AND THERE WERE NO CHIPS. JUST A SHATTERED PIECE OF GLASS IN THE FRAME. NOTHING HIT THE WINDOW OR THERE WAS NO OTHER REASON THE WINDOW WOULD SHATTER, OTHER THAN THE REAR DEFROSTER HEATING THE WINDOW TO A POINT IT CRACKED. I TALKED WITH A SHOP ABOUT REPAIRING THE WINDOW, AND OWNER TOLD ME HIS SUPPLIER SAID THERE ARE ROUGHLY 500 OF THESE UNITS THAT GET REPLACED EVERY WEEK IN MICHIGAN ALONE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A FAR MORE WIDESPREAD PROBLEM BUT ONLY THOSE STATES THAT HAVE FREEZING TEMPS AND IT ONLY AFFECTS VEHICLES IN 2-3 MONTHS A YEAR.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70MPH / 6TH GEAR. MY TRUCK SHIFTED ON IT'S OWN ( I COULD TELL BY THE DASHBOARD GEAR INDICATOR) INTO 1ST GEAR. THIS CAUSED MY REAR TIRES TO LOCK UP AND PUT MY VEHICLE INTO A SKID. *TR

WAS DRIVING VEHICLE AT 55MPH HEARD A LOUD BANG. SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION! THE SOUND STARTLED ME ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT, THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE WINDOW WAS ON FIRE. NOT REALIZING WHAT WAS HAPPENING I ATTEMPTED TO POUR WATER ON IT. IT CONTINUED TO BURN, THEN I QUICKLY TOOK A RAG FROM INSIDE THE TRUCK AND BEGAN TO TRY AN PUT OUT THE FIRE. BETWEEN THAT WATER ,RAG AND A SCREW DRIVER THE FIRE WAS FINALLY OUT. THE FIRE THAT WAS BURNING WAS VERY ODD IN NATURE NOTHING I HAD EVER SEEN BEFORE. I IMMEDIATELY LOOKED THE INCIDENT UP ONLINE AND SAW THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED HUNDREDS OF TIMES FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS FULLY AWARE BUT WILL NOT COVER IT UNLESS ENTIRE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS TOTALLY A DANGER TO SOCIETY! THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN AWFUL ACCIDENT. *TR

AFTER SPEAKING WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY I THOUGHT I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT ON HERE AS WELL. MY HUSBANDS 2012 FORD F150 POWER STEERING SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, IT APPEARS HIS IS BY FAR NOT THE ONLY ONE. APPARENTLY OTHER MODELS OF THE SAME YEAR HAVE HAD RECALLS BUT NOT THE F150. I WAS TOLD GO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND FIXED AND IF WE ISSUE A RECALL, YOU MIGHT GET A REFUND. $2200 AND WE CAN GET IT CHECKED OUT AND FIXED IF THEY SEE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT AN IN AND OUT SERVICE AND ITS VERY DISAPPOINTING A COMPANY THAT HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE 1903 HAS TURNED TO SUCH POOR QUALITY IN SERVICE. EVERYONE NEEDS TO FILE A COMPLAINT SO THEY WILL STOP TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE LOYALTY OF THE CUSTOMERS. *TR

I TURNED MY TRUCK BACK ON AND HIT THE REAR DEFROST BUTTON TO CLEAR SOME ICE ON THE REAR WINDOW. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 3-4 MINUTES (ROUGHLY 3 MILES), WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, I HEARD A LOUD "POP". I NOTICED THAT THE REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. IT WAS THE WINDOW PANE LOCATED BEHIND THE DRIVER SEAT. THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO THE WINDOW AND WOULD'VE BEEN EXTREMELY UNLIKELY SINCE I WAS DRIVING. MUST BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE (A SHORT, A SURGE, OR SOMETHING). MY TRUCK IS OUT OF THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY WINDOW, BUT HAS JUST UNDER 22,000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT PAY A PENNY TO REPLACE MY WINDOW. I CALLED THE FORD CUSTOMER CARE LINE AND THEY STAND BEHIND THE DEALER DECISION TO NOT PAY ANYTHING FOR IT. THIS IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES. I'VE SEARCHED THIS SITE AND SEEN THE SAME PROBLEMS ON 2010 - 2015 MODELS OF THE F-150. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED WHAT-SO-EVER BY FORD. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I GET THIS WINDOW REPLACED AND USE THE DEFROSTER, ONLY TO HAVE MY NEW WINDOW SHATTER AS WELL? I GUESS I HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT ONE TOO.

I FEEL LIKE IT IS GOING TO TAKE A VEHICLE TO CATCH FIRE OR EVEN WORSE SOMEONE GETTING INJURED FROM THIS PROBLEM. IT IS FORDS PROBLEM IF THIS IS HAPPENING ON MULTIPLE VEHICLES AND ALL THEY ARE DOING IS PUTTING IN NEW ELEMENTS UNTIL THEY FRY AGAIN. THEY NEED TO FIGURE THE ISSUE OUT RIGHT AND SEE WHAT IS CAUSING IT TO HAPPEN. I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A HAZARD THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE OCCURRING. I AM NOT SENDING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I WANT FORD TO PAY FOR THE SEAT HEATERS. IT IS BECAUSE IT IS HAPPENING TO MULTIPLE OWNERS AND ITS A SAFETY ISSUE.

2012 FORD F-150 ECOBOOST CAME OFF WARRANTY IN APRIL, ON JULY 2ND I STARTED THE TRUCK, PUT IT IN GEAR (DRIVE), AND HAD NO BRAKES. THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE AS IF THE ABS WAS TRYING TO ENGAGE. I HAD TO PRACTICALLY STAND ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE TRUCK AND PUT IT BACK IN PARK. PUMPED THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES AND TRIED IT AGAIN SAME THING. I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, TURNED IT BACK ON, AND LET IT WARM UP A FEW MINUTES. NOW IT WAS OK. FROM THEN ON WHEN THE TRUCK STARTED COLD IT HAS DONE THIS ON A REGULAR BASIS. GOOD THING I FOUND THIS BEFORE I REACHED ANY SPEED, AND WHILE THERE WAS NO CARGO IN THE BED TO ADD INERTIA. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND REPORTED TO FORD THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM ASSIST PUMP WAS LIKELY CORRODED, AND THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE ON 2011-2013 F-150 ECOBOOST MODELS. THEY NEEDED A FORD TECHNICIAN TO MAKE THE DIAGNOSIS, WHICH I WAS CHARGED $100 FOR (TO DETERMINE THAT I WAS RIGHT). THEY ALSO REPORTED A BAD FUSE FOR THE PUMP. I AM HOPING NOBODY IS TRYING TO SAY THAT WITH A BAD FUSE THESE PUMPS WILL DISINTEGRATE IN THREE WEEKS OF SUMMER WEATHER? LET'S BE HONEST- THE BAD PUMP TOOK OUT THE FUSE, IF THE FUSE WAS BLOWN. THEY ESTIMATE A ~$900 REPAIR. I OPENED A TICKET WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY BECAUSE THIS EVENT EXACTLY MATCHES NHTSA PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION ITEM PE15026. PEOPLE WITH THESE TRUCKS OR ANYONE AROUND THEM COULD GET SERIOUSLY HURT IF THE DRIVER CANNOT REACT QUICKLY OR PANICS WHEN THIS PART FAILS, AND IT IS A POORLY DESIGNED PART. APPARENTLY THIS PART WAS RE-ENGINEERED FOR 2014 AND LATER MODELS. AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING I AM HOPING I CAN GET SOME HELP FROM FORD. I AM A LONG TIME CUSTOMER AND HAVE HAD NO PRIOR ISSUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP OR THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING QUALITY ISSUE, PURE AND SIMPLE. I JUST WANTED TO REPORT IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS CASE WAS INCLUDED WITH THE OTHERS RELATED TO PE15026... UPDATED 09/30/15*BF

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY SON IN DECEMBER 2012. WE TOOK A TRIP TO ALABAMA ON THE SATURDAY FOLLOWING THE PURCHASE. THE TRUCK HAD PROBLEMS STALLING, MISFIRIING, AND NOT BRAKING IMMEDIATELY. WE HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS APPROXIMATELY 15 TO 20 TIMES. IT IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN TODAY FOR THE MISFIRING/STALLING. THE SERVICE WRITER TOLD MY SON THAT HIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN THE SHOP TWICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WE STILL HAVE ALL THE SERVICE PAPERWORK TO DISPEL THAT REMARK, THIS VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 24,000 MILES ON IT. THE FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRES IN DECEMBER AND HAS STILL NOT BEEN FIXED. IT DOES NOT JUST STALL IN RAINY OR VERY HUMID CONDITIONS AS STATED BY FORD IN THEIR RESPONSE TO THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION. THEY HAVE REPLACED SPARK PLUGS TWICE, UPDATED SOFTWARE, PUT A HEAT SHIELD IN FRONT OF THE INTER-COOLER. NONE OF THESE THINGS HAVE WORKED. THE SHIELD IN FRONT OF THE INTER-COOLER DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF THE INTER-COOLER BY NOT ALLOWING IT TO COOL AS INTENDED. IT RAISES THE TEMPERATURE IN THE INTERCOOLER IN AN ATTEMPT TO PRODUCE LESS CONDENSATION. MY SON BELIEVES THE INTER-COOLER HAS A DESIGN FLAW. HE THINKS THAT THE AIR RETURN FROM THE INTER-COOLER TO THE ENGINE BEING ON THE BOTTOM ALLOWS MORE CONDENSATION TO BE SUCKED BACK INTO THE ENGINE. IF IT WERE ON THE TOP, MORE OF THE CONDENSATION WOULD STAY IN THE BOTTOM AND NOT RETURNED BACK TO THE ENGINE. THERE IS AN AFTER MARKET FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT IT IS EXPENSIVE AND I BELIEVE FORD MOTOR COMPANY DOES NOT WANT TO SPEND THE KIND OF MONEY THAT IT WILL TAKE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM CORRECTLY. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO OPERATE EFFICIENTLY UNDER ANY CONDITIONS. IF IT DOES NOT, IT IS FLAWED. I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO PURCHASE THE REPLACEMENT INTER-COOLER OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. I'VE INCLUDED ALL THIS INFORMATION IN THE EVENT THAT IT HELPS OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

DURING FIRST STARTUP OF THE DAY, THE ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP MAKES A TERRIBLE NOISE FOR APPROX. 10 SECONDS AS IT BUILDS UP ASSIST VACUUM PRESSURE. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES HARD AS A STONE WITH NO VACUUM ASSIST. THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN WITH THE PUMP ASSY. IT BECOMES CORRODED INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY, AND THE PISTON INSIDE THE CHEAP HOUSING BECOMES CORRODED AND THE PUMP WILL EVENTUALLY SEIZE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A DANGEROUS ISSUE. IF THE PUMP SEIZES, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH VACUUM ASSIST COMING FROM THE ENGINE TO PROVIDE ENOUGH VACUUM PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE BOOST SYSTEM AND THE PEDAL BECOMES HARD AS A ROCK TO PRESS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY DURING FIRST STARTUP IN THE MORNING, AND START UP IN THE AFTERNOON WHEN THE VEHICLE SITS FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND VACUUM PRESSURE DEPLETES. *TR

INCIDENT OCCURRED ON SATURDAY 2-21-15 AT OR ABOUT 3:30PM. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 30MPH WHEN A VERY LOUD BANG WAS HEARD INSIDE VEHICLE. AFTER PULLING OVER A QUICK GLANCE AROUND INSIDE THE VEHICLE REVEALED THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE PORTION OF THE 3 PIECE REAR GLASS OF THE CAB HAS SHATTERED. THE GLASS REMAINS IN PLACE BUT HAD "SPIDERWEBED" AND IS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. UPON INSPECTION ON THE OUTSIDE, NO SIGNS OF IMPACT ARE VISIBLE AND THE POINT OF ORIGIN OF THE CRACKS APPEARS TO BE THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER WHERE THE GLASS IS COVERED BY THE RUBBER MOLDING. WHEN THIS HAPPENED IT WAS ABOUT 25 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND SNOWING, ALL SNOW HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM VEHICLE PRIOR TO DRIVING AND THE REAR DE-FROST/DE-FOGGER HAD BEEN RUN AND TURNED OFF ABOUT 10 MINS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS GLASS WITH THE HEATING ELEMENTS IN THESE CONDITIONS, SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR OR IDENTICAL TO THIS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THIS AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AS WELL AS THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ARTICLE WRITTEN ON THIS SUBJECT. I PLACED A CALL TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR ASSISTANCE IN REPLACING THE GLASS AS THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS PURCHASED THROUGH FORD (FORD ESP PREMIUM) DOES NOT COVER GLASS. I WAS TOLD BY THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM FORD THAT NO ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GIVEN AS THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF THE 3/36 BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS FAILURE OF THE DESIGN FROM THE FACTORY THAT FORD IS AWARE OF. *TR

AT A STOPLIGHT I ACTIVATED THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS I HEARD A SHARP LARGE CRACKING SOUND. UPON INVESTIGATION I FOUND THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED BUT STILL IN PLACE. NO SIGNS OF CHIPS FROM INSIDE VEHICLE OR OUTSIDE WERE SEEN BEFORE THE INCIDENT. AFTER GETTING BACK INSIDE THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS INOPERABLE. *TR

WHILE GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ACCELERATING, MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE AND LOSE POWER. I TOOK IT IN TO THE SHOP AFTERWARDS AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE ALL SPARK PLUGS AND 1 IGNITION COIL. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS, I FOUND OUT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE ON SEVERAL 2011 - 2013 MODEL ECO BOOST. PLEASE FORCE A RECALL, AS I DO NOT FEEL I NEED TO PAY FOR SOMETHING FORD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR. *TR

I GOT INTO MY FORD F150 ON OCTOBER 4, 2013 AND IT WOULDN'T START. MALLOY FORD HAD ME CALL A WRECKER AND PICK IT UP ON SATURDAY OCTOBER 5, 2013 MALLY FORD CALLED ME ON OCTOBER 7, 2013 AND SAID MY TRUCK WAS READY. I PICKED MY TRUCK UP ON OCTOBER 8, 2013 THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY BATTERY. WELL ON JUNE 2, 2014 MY TRUCK WOULDN'T START AGAIN. I CALLED MALLOY THAT EVENING AND LEFT A MESSAGE TELLING THEM TO CALL ME. I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THEM ON TUESDAY JUNE 3, 2014 ASKING ME QUESTIONS ABOUT MY TRUCK. THEY TRIED TO ME THAT I DIDN'T DRIVE IT VERY MUCH THAT WAS MAKING MY BATTERY DRAIN. THEY SAID YOU HAVE A 2012 VEHICLE WITH ONLY 13,000 MILES ON IT. IT DON'T MATTER HOW MANY MILES YOU HAVE ON A VEHICLE, IT SHOULD START. SO I DRIVE MY TRUCK IN ON JUNE 4, 2014 AT MALLOY FORD AND LEAVE IT. I HAD THE BATTERY CHARGED THE DAY BEFORE SO I COULD DRIVE IT IN THE NEXT MORNING AND LEAVE IT SO THEY COULD LOOK AT IT WHILE I WAS AT WORK. MALLOY CALLS ME THAT DAY AND TELLS ME MY TRUCKS READY, THAT IT WAS MY BATTERY. HOW CAN YOU HAVE A VEHICLE THAT HAS NOW HAD 3 BATTERIES IN IT GO BAD. SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT. SOMETHING IS DRAINING MY BATTERY DOWN. I WOULD REALLY LIKE THIS PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED. *TR

MAY 13, 2014, 0630 HRS. TEMP 55 DEGREES F. WHILE I WAS LEAVING FOR WORK, I PRESSED THE REAR DEFROST BUTTON AS THE MORNING DEWPOINT WAS HIGH AND CONDENSATION WAS HEAVY ON THE GLASS. THE LIGHT ON THE DEFROST BUTTON DID NOT ILLUMINATE, SO I PRESSED A SECOND TIME. THERE WAS A DELAY, BUT THE LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON AS ADVERTISED. I DROVE APPROX 5 MILES TO THE LOCAL FUEL STOP WHEN I NOTICED A SLIGHT BURNING SMELL FROM THE REAR CABIN AREA. I PARKED THE TRUCK, AND LOOKED AROUND BUT FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF SOMETHING BURNING. I STEPPED OUT OF THE TRUCK AND AS I STARTED TO WALK AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE, I HEARD A LOUD "BANG", WHICH SCARED ME. IT SOUNDED AS IF SOMETHING FELL FROM THE SKY AND HIT THE TOP OF THE TRUCK. I LOOKED AROUND, AND THEN OPENED THE RIGHT REAR DOOR. THE BURNING SMELL WAS MORE PROMINENT, AND I THEN NOTICED THAT THE 'BANG" WAS MY RIGHT REAR WINDOW PANE SHATTERING. THE WHOLE RIGHT REAR PANE HAD BECOME EXTREMELY HOT, AND IT SHATTERED. THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THIS HEATING/DEFROST SYSTEM THAT NEEDS RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY. MY YOUNGEST CHILD COULD HAVE HAD THIS WINDOW BLOW RIGHT INTO HER HAD SHE OR ANYONE ELSE BEEN SITTING IN THE REAR CAB AT THAT TIME. IN ADDITION, THE POSSIBILITY OF THE WINDOW BLOWING OUTWARD INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC COULD ALSO BE A MAJOR ISSUE FOR MANY DIFFERENT REASONS. THIS NEEDS ADDRESSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

I OWN A 2012 F150 PLATINUM TRUCK WITH AN ECOBOOST ENGINE. WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS TRYING TO PASS A SLOW MOVING CAR. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO OVERDRIVE AND BEGAN TO SHAKE. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND WAITED A MOMENT. WHEN I RESTARTED THE TRUCK I DROVE TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. IT DID THIS AGAIN TWICE ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT THE WIRING WAS AT FAULT AND REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE PART. THEN AT 34,470 IT OCCURRED AGAIN. WE WERE ON A HIGHWAY ABOUT TO PASS SOMEONE WHEN THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THE ENGINE SLOWED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE DEALERSHIP SUGGESTED THAT WE USE A HIGHER OCTANE FUEL AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED EIGHT ADDITIONAL TIMES. THEN AT 82,200 MILES WE WERE TRAVELING UP HILL AND HEARD A LOUD BOOM. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND FOUND OUT THAT A CONNECTING ROD HAD BROKEN CAUSING TWO HOLES IN THE ENGINE. WE HAD TO HAVE THE ENTIRE ENGINE ASSEMBLY REPLACED ALONG WITH TWO NEW TURBOS. FORD WOULD NOT COVER BECAUSE THE ENGINE HAD 82,200 MILES AND THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY ENDED AT 60,000 MILES. *TR

I HAD READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT THOUGHT I WAS ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES THAT DIDN'T HAVE A ISSUE. HOWEVER AT ABOUT 11,500 MILES DRIVING IN A RAINY HUMID DAY ON THE HIGHWAY I GOT IN A SPOT WHERE I HAD A RIG GOING ABOUT 30MPH AND I WAS DOING ABOUT 60MPH HAVING MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME TO PASS SAFELY BEFORE THE OTHER RIG COMING UP IN THE PASSING LANE I DECIDED TO GO AROUND.. AS SOON AS I PUSHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND GOT IN THE PASSING LANE THE TRUCK LOST POWER,,, SHUDDERED BADLY AND I ALMOST COULDN'T GET AROUND THE RIG THAT WAS ONLY DOING 30! AFTER GETTING BY I DECIDED TO TRY TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND AGAIN I WAS SUCCESSFUL BUT NOT WITHOUT THE ANXIETY ON THINKING THE RIG COMING UP WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO ALLOW ME TO GET OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT PUSHING ME OFF. SO FAR THERE HAVE BEEN NO KNOWN ACCIDENTS BUT AGAIN IF THE CONDITIONS ARE RIGHT FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN COULD BE AS SIMPLE AS PASSING ON A FOGGY NIGHT AND THE PERSON COMING UP ON YOU AT 70 NEVER SAW THE F150 ECOBOOST SITTING IN THE PASSING LANE DOING 45 TRYING TO GET IT OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD PASSING AT THE TOP OF A HILL WITH NOWHERE TO PULL OFF TO THE RIGHT AS GOING DOWN THE HILL WITH A 70 MPH TRACTOR TRAILER DRIVER DOING HIS BEST TO SHUT DOWN HIS RIG TRYING TO AVOID A JACK KNIFE DUE TO A F150 ECOBOOST DOING 40 MPH WITH NO WHERE TO PULL OFF! SO ANY OF YOU THAT THINK THIS ISN'T A BIG PROBLEM WAITING TO HAPPEN THEN I SUGGEST ONE THING.... HOPE,,, PRAY,,,, THAT YOU NEVER COME UP ON A ECOBOOST PASSING A RIG AND FIND YOURSELF BETWEEN A F150 LOSING 30 MPH AND TRYING TO GET OFF THE ROAD, THEN YOU,, FOLLOWED BY A RIG DOING 70 MPH ON YOUR BUMPER IN THE PASSING LANE!!! *TR

IT FIRST STARTED WHEN I MERGED ONTO THE INTERSTATE AND IT LOST ALL POWER AND MISFIRED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED TO PARTS. KNOW MY TRUCK HAS A MISS IN THE ENGINE TOOK IT BACK TO FORD AND THE FIRST DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WAS BECAUSE I HAD AFTERMARKET TIRES ON IT AND THE ENGINE WAS TO SMALL FOR THE SIZE OF MY TRUCK. SO I ASKED TO TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER AND THEY CHARGED ME $95 TO SAY IT WAS THE AFTERMARKET GRILLE GUARD THAT IS ON MY TRUCK. NOTHING SHOWS ON THE COMPUTER BUT THEY ALL FEEL THE MISS THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 13000 MILES ON IT AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT LONG DISTANCE. I AM STATIONED IN GERMANY AND MY PARENTS HAVE MY TRUCK SO I AM LISTING THERE INFORMATION BELOW. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING ON AN ON-RAMP TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC ON I-90, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE VIBRATED VERY HARD, THE ENGINE THEN LOST POWER, CAUSING ELECTRIC TO SHUT DOWN, AND UNCONTROLLED DECELERATION TO OCCUR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH. ONCE I RELEASED THE PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL, AND PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE TO AVOID ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THE POWER RETURNED AND THE ENGINE RESPONDED AGAIN. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE PROBLEM AND WAS REPLACED. NOTIFIED FORD REGIONAL SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT CONCERNS THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE, HE RESPONDED THAT THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY, AND NOTHING ELSE COULD BE DONE DESPITE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT WE COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO THE ENGINE FAILURE. ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED, AND APPARENTLY THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS NOT UPDATED AS REQUIRED. AFTER THE UPDATE, IT WORKED FINE. IN DECEMBER 2012, SIMILAR SYMPTOMS OCCURRED AND THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED IT WAS THE COIL IN ENGINE 4 AS THE PROBLEM. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING ON I5 SOUTH IN CALIFORNIA WITH OUR CRUISE CONTROL SET FOR 70 MPH. WE WERE COMING INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC SO HIT THE BUTTON TO END CRUISE. IT DIDN'T WORK SO MY HUSBAND HIT THE BRAKE AND IT DIDN'T DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL. IF MY HUSBAND WOULD PRESS THE BRAKE, IT WOULD SLOW DOWN BUT WHEN HE TOOK HIS FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, IT WOULD ACCELERATE UP TO 90 MPH. THERE WERE BIG TRUCKS ALL AROUND US AND OTHER VEHICLES AND WE COULDN'T MAKE IT TO AN OFF RAMP FOR 5 MILES. WHEN WE DID, MY HUSBAND SLOWED THE TRUCK ENOUGH TO PUT IT IN PARK BUT THE ENGINE REVVED SUPER HIGH AND WE SHUT IT OFF. WE TURNED IT BACK ON A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE WE TOOK OFF TO FINISH OUR TRIP. WE DID NOT USE THE CRUISE CONTROL AGAIN FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP. WE TOOK OUR FORD TO THE DEALER THAT MONDAY AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. MY QUESTION WAS WHAT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN OR SOMEBODY DIES AND HE DIDN'T HAVE AN ANSWER AND SAID HE WOULD CONTACT FORD. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE I ATTEMPTED TO PASS A SLOWER VEHICLE. AFTER MOVING OVER AND ACCELERATING - THE TRUCK BUCKLED AND STALLED! I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY AN 18 WHEELER AT 65 MPH! THIS WAS VERY CLOSE TO BEING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT INVOLVING MULTIPLE VEHICLES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AS FORD DOESN'T SEEM TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT IT. NOT TO MENTION I TOOK IT IN FOR FORD TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AND THEY REFUSED TO MAKE THE REPAIRS AS THE VEHICLE DID NOT SHOW A TROUBLE CODE. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE IS A TSB ON THIS VEHICLE BY FORD FOR THE REPAIR BUT FORD WON'T MAKE THE REPAIR. NOT TO MENTION SINCE THEN THE FUEL MILEAGE HAS DROPPED DRASTICALLY SINCE THE EVENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW. I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS ISSUE, NOT TO MENTION IT GOING OUT OF WARRANTY AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND THERE ARE LAWSUITS ALL OVER THE INTERNET FOR THIS SAME REASON. THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE AND IT LOSING POWER IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO TRACTOR TRAILERS NOT BEING ABLE TO SLOW DOWN IN TIME WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON THE INTERSTATE. WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST POWER IT DROPS THE VEHICLE SPEED TO 40 MPH. NOT A SAFE SPEED FOR CONTESTED INTERSTATES. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN APRIL AND SPENT 40,000 DOLLARS ON A TRUCK THAT'S VERY UNSAFE BUT NOT EVEN DEPENDABLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS A 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND IT ALSO SHUDDERS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH A HARD CLUNKING SOUND DURING GEAR CHANGES. THANK YOU. *TR

I OBTAINED THIS VEHICLE NOVEMBER 2012 FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY AFTER WINNING AN ARBITRATION CASE I FILED. REASON: THE FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM IN THE TRUCK IT REPLACED, A 2010 FORD, 150, 4X4, WAS TOTALLY INACCURATE AND UNDEPENDABLE. THE ARBITRATOR AGREED THAT IT WAS UNSAFE AND GRANTED US THE OPTION EITHER TO ACCEPT A NEW VEHICLE WITH SIMILAR FEATURES, OR A BUY-BACK. THROUGHOUT MONTHS OF PROCESSING AND SEVERAL VISITS TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR UNSUCCESSFUL REPAIR ATTEMPTS, FORD STEADFASTLY DENIED ANY ISSUES EXISTED--THAT THE ENTIRE FUEL MONITORING AND MEASURING SYSTEM WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED--DESPITE THE FACT THAT A DISINTERESTED THIRD PARTY EXPERT HIRED BY THE BBB TEST DROVE OUR TRUCK AND CONCLUDED IT WAS DEFECTIVE. FURTHERMORE, A GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WHEREIN SOME OWNERS ACTUALLY RAN OUT OF GAS OWING TO AN INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READING. HERE IS A RECENT AND TYPICAL EXAMPLE OF THE PROBLEM: A FEW DAYS AGO WHEN I STARTED MY TRUCK, "MILES TO EMPTY" WAS 225. THE FUEL TANK SHOWED BETWEEN ONE-QUARTER AND ONE-HALF FULL. APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES LATER, "MILES TO EMPTY" READ 90, AND THE GAS GAUGE WAS SLIGHTLY ABOVE EMPTY. I DON'T REALLY CARE MUCH ABOUT THE "MILES TO EMPTY" FEATURE BECAUSE I'VE LEARNED NOT TO TRUST IT; HOWEVER, WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS A HALF TANK OF GAS REMAINING, THEN A FEW MINUTES LATER DROPS TO NEARLY EMPTY, I BECOME CONCERNED--PARTICULARLY WHEN DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS WHERE WE LIVE, AND IN SNOW CONDITIONS, THUS CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE. TO THIS DAY, FORD DENIES AN ISSUE EXISTS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, I HEARD A POP AND 'DING' SOUND BEFORE LOSING ALL ELECTRICAL ITEMS - DASH BOARD, HEAD LIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, ETC., BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL OPERATING. I THEN FELT A GRINDING NOISE AND IMMEDIATELY EXITED THE HIGHWAY SAFELY TO PARK AT A GAS STATION. I TURNED OFF AND REMOVED THE KEY BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. I WAS ONLY A FEW MILES FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP. I INSERTED THE KEY, TURNED IT TO THE ON POSITION AND TRIED TO PUT THE TRUCK INTO GEAR WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE. THE TRANSMISSION BRAKE RELEASE WOULD NOT WORK. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WHO SCHEDULED A TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAD TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THEY ADVISED THAT I SHOULD PULL THE FUEL PUMP RELAY FUSE WHICH DID STOP THE ENGINE. TO DATE, FORD DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AND TRYING TO PASS, VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND LOST POWER. ALSO WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC VEHICLE WHEN LOSE POWER AND ENGINE SHAKES.

FORD ECOBOOST SYSTEM HAS A PROBLEM, DEALERSHIP SAYS FORD IS AWARE BUT DOES NOT KNOW WHEN PARTS TO REPAIR MIGHT BE AVAILABLE. SAYS TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE. I AM CONCERNED A MAJOR ACCIDENT IS WAITING TO HAPPEN. THIS SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING FORD WAS AWARE OF WHEN SOLD THIS VEHICLE. *TR
