2012 FORD F-150 Unknown Or Other Problems

I had just gotton on route 5 north from the Agawam rotary. After I merged onto route 5 I drove a short distance then I heard a loud noise from the rear of my vehicle. Immediately after the loud noise my rear end kicked out and I lost complete control of my truck. I hit the brakes and tried to slightly counter steer and I still had absolutely no control over the truck. I then proceeded to go over a straight edge bridge curbing and then a bridge guardrail. I did not hit any potholes,their were none and I was driving in a straight line at approximately 40 mph. My truck was hanging over the bridge.

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

“I need to file a complaint because two dealerships refused to perform the required diagnostic for federal safety recall 19S07 on my F-150. They stated they will not replace the lead frame under ANY circumstance, even if the recall-related OSS failure damaged it. Both dealers refused the mandatory recall procedure. My truck is showing ALL recall symptoms, including speedometer dropouts, PRNDL flashing, gear indicator cycling, and erratic shifting. I need Ford to contact the dealership and authorize proper recall handling.”**

The backup camera will show an error on the screen inside the cab periodically then it will come back up fine. It will also flicker the image intermittently or blank out for a moment the pop back on. It's been exhibiting this behavior for close to a year

Wrench icon came on, truck wouldn’t shift out of first gear, speedometer and mileage stopped working. Lead Frame recall according to my mechanic, $2,000 fix out of pocket. Truck only has 140,000 miles but is a 2012 so Ford says I’m outside of the free recall replacement. Had no problems at all until over 135,000 miles, ridiculous that this is paid out of pocket when issues don’t arise until after the approved date

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

Suddenly downshifting into low gear. Recall not being accepted by ford. Please help

I have this exact problem (usually get an inverted, distorted, or blank image (blue screen)) with the backup camera on my 2012 F150. It's been happening for about two years. Why does the recall only go back to 2015? "Ford is recalling about 1.5 million vehicles in the United States due to a rear-view camera issue causing inverted, distorted, or blank image, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Sept. 9. The recall affects select vehicles from model years 2015 to 2019 of Lincoln MKC, Lincoln Navigator, Mustang, F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, Expedition, Edge, Transit, Transit Connect, Econoline and Ranger, NHTSA said."

I have a 2012 F150 that has an issue with its Output shaft speed sensor, at random times my speedometer and odometer will quit working and my the transmission will make hard shift or won’t shift at all while driving.

The backup camera is spuratic in its operations. It works sometimes, but then it goes blank on the screen, or flutters. Also some times the screen shows clear picture, but the picture is 180 degrees out. What is on the left of the truck shows on the screen as on the right.

The backup camera intermittently work then gose dark and won't come back on it dose it while backing up

Three of my four doors sporadically fail to close and latch. When I open the door the latch does not fully open, so when I try to close the door the latch prevents it from closing. Maybe it is just normal wear and tear, but I understand there was a recall for something with latches on this era of f-150s, and my VIN is not part of that. I'm reporting this in case it's useful information and in case it indicates the recall should be expanded. So far I have been able to use a screwdriver to push the latch open, and the door will close and latch after that. I can not replicate this consistently.

Sudden shift into first gear at any speed. Dash lights flickering between p,r,n,d. Tool light coming on dash.

I just got the truck in September 24 and just found out that the recall was never fixed on it valvo body lead framing is acting up on me now I just want it fixed since I have the car fax to prove it was not fixed at all I don't have the money to fix my self I am on disability and I had my family in the truck when I looked at my speedometer and it was not working but the RPM was and the engine light was on

My 2012 F150 has been experiencing the same rearview camera issue the 2015 Ford F150-450s have been have issues with that can intermittently display "a blank or distorted image," reducing the driver’s view of what’s behind the vehicle – increasing the risk of a crash. This has been happening for the past year and has been found on several message boards stating the same issue.

I went to Maplecrest Ford in Unión New Jersey to resolve this recall which is to include a Lead Frame replacement because the truck dropped gears and I almost crashed thanks to this recall they refuse to fix the issue only state to me they reprogrammed what was to be done and they said the rest is not their issue because the title is salvaged. Whether or not the title is salvaged it is their responsibility to fix the issue so that other drivers myself and my family are safe . I’m really upset simply because they just want to charge for these recall services when it is there obligation to fix for all involved safety.Im addition this vehicle has a airbag recall of which they also refused to fix so if I’m driving this airbag can deploy and who knows what damage can be be done not only to myself on the road but others as well .

My truck would shift gears and I would feel a kick. Then the speedometer would drop, and the airbag sensors would turn off. At times the dealership states it is an issue with the Transmission Lead Frame.

Transmission will abruptly shift into 1st gear at slow speeds. Transmission has been checked and there are know known mechanical issues with the unit. I saw an article where some 2011-14 F-150’s had the same issue.

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.

Automatic transmission dropped out of gear while driving on the Interstate going around 60-65mph today. The wheels locked up and the vehicle just reved like it was in neutral. From other Ford owners (Unintended downshift into first gear can cause an abrupt wheel speed reduction, which could cause the rear tires to slide until the vehicle slows down. This condition could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash) My truck shows no mileage and the airbag light is on.No inspection has been performed as of today. Recall # 19507

Had swollen lug nuts Had to buy breaker bars to loosen them. Ended up destroying most off them Can't reuse them

Vehicles cuts off while driving at ramdom speeds Can be 20, 30, or 50

Exhaust manifold studs are breaking on the ecoboost V6 engines (Gen 1 and Gen 2 series trucks), causing exhaust fumes to enter passenger area of vehicle when the heater/AC is on. The exhaust studs are on the back of the engine and happen on both sides. Ford knows of the problem and refuses to recall to replace them.

In 2019, my power steering assist fault/service advance trac came on as i lost power steering... It's recalled on my year and model, but not my vin. Replaced the rack and pinion for the electronic power assist steering (EPAS) in September of 2019. Last week, so April 18,'22, my steering started getting stiff and binding. Last night, April 25,22, my power steering failed completely again. Ford refused to acknowledge it was the exact issue last time and it's extremely scary driving without power steering, esp when you don't know if it's going to go out while driving! This is a known problem and has not been addressed, outside the select vins.

Transmission shifts from fourth gear to first gear by itself.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford F-150. The contact stated while using the defroster, the rear windshield shattered. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to a glass repair shop and was informed that the rear windshield needed to be replaced. The contact called and notified the local dealer of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 91,000.

On Friday, October 29, 2021, at about 6:30 PM, I was driving my 2012 Ford F150 Super Crew 4WD Platinum PU down a two lane highway at about 60 MPH, when I heard a distinct, loud "pop" or "bang", so loud it scared me. I initially thought I had been shot at or a decent sized rock had struck the roof of my PU with some good velocity. After the initial shock, I didn't notice anything being different. It was dark outside. After a few moments, I had no idea what had happened, but moved on. The next morning, I got in my truck and immediately noticed the passenger side of the back window was shattered. I inspected the window and clearly saw a heat signature deformation in the lower left corner of the right pane. This was also the initial spot of the shattering.The rear window defroster system had shorted out and burned up. From Photo #4 I am not convinced there was not an actual fire at some point. I quickly found forums that document reports of Ford vehicles doing this for well over 10 years. I added my story to the top one. https://fordauthority.com/2017/12/another-ford-f-150-owner-claims-the-rear-window-shattered-despite-no-impact/ https://www.f150forum.com/f118/another-rear-window-shattered-426302/ I went to the Ford dealership and had them look at it. I also had the local Sheriff's Office look at it. I chatted, emailed and called Ford HQ twice. I sent them these links. I was repeatedly told, "I'm sorry. There are no programs (Recalls or TSBs) to help you." My glass repair place does not want to work on it ($825) since it is not a glass problem and replacing the glass does not guarantee it won't just happen again. I am thankful I did not startle worse than I did. This easily could have caused me to lose control of my vehicle at highway speeds, not to mention the danger to passengers of shattering glass. My daughter routinely sits in the back, right next to this window. I will keep things as is as long as I can for inspection. Consumer stated to date, Ford has refused to acknowledge thi

When driving, vehicle will drop from 50 mph to 0, causing a sudden stop. Vehicle then will struggle to get out of first gear, and whine. Vehicle will not move in the speedometer, and will not shift past first gear.

01/18/2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 3:45 PM EST, MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELING ON NB ROUTE 301 IN THE CROFTON, MARYLAND AREA. DUE TO THE RECENT SNOW AND COLD TEMPERATURES WE ARE EXPERIENCING HERE IN THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE UNITED STATES, WE HAD THE REAR DEFROSTER ACTIVATED IN OUR 2012 FORD F-150 XLT PICK UP TRUCK. WHILE ACTIVELY DRIVING THE VEHICLE, BOTH MY WIFE AND I HEARD AN EXTREMELY LOUD "POP" SOUND WHILE RIDING INSIDE OF THE CABIN OF THE TRUCK. I PROCEEDED TO LOOK IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR TO SEE IF I COULD DETERMINE WHERE THE NOISE ORIGINATED FROM AND THAT'S WHEN I OBSERVED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE GLASS WAS SHATTERED. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE, I DID NOT OBSERVE ANY OTHER OBVIOUS DAMAGE AND WAS CONFUSED AS TO WHY THE WINDOW SUDDENLY CRACKED WITHOUT AN OBVIOUS CAUSE. AT THIS POINT I WAS QUITE PERPLEXED. I SUBSEQUENTLY TURNED TO GOOGLE IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIND A SOLUTION AND THAT'S WHEN I FIGURED OUT WHAT HAD OCCURRED. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THROUGH VARIOUS FORUMS AND ONLINE SITES THAT MULTIPLE OTHER FORD F-150 OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH THE SAME EXACT CIRCUMSTANCES IN PLACE (REAR DEFROSTER ACTIVATED, LOUD "POP" SOUND, OBSERVED A BROKEN REAR WINDOW). THE ARTICLES GO ON TO PROVIDE NIGHTMARISH EXCHANGES BETWEEN FORD F-150 OWNERS AND FORD DEALERSHIPS WHERE THEY ARE FORCED TO PAY FULL PRICE FOR THE REPAIRS DUE TO WARRANTIES BEING EXPIRED. BASED ON THE AGE OF THE TRUCK AS WELL AS IT'S MILEAGE, I TOO AM OUT OF WARRANTY. I DO NOT BELIEVE FORD IS RECOGNIZING OR HANDLING THESE ISSUES PROPERLY. THIS APPEARS TO STRICTLY BE A DESIGN DEFECT AND NO FAULT OR NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF THE OWNER/OPERATOR. MY SAFETY CONCERNS ARE DECREASED VISIBILITY AND SHARP TEMPERED GLASS SHARDS INSIDE OF THE CABIN. I HAVE SUBMITTED AN INSURANCE CLAIM AND AM RESPONSIBLE FOR MY DEDUCTIBLE. I AM LOOKING TO THE NHTSA FOR ASSISTANCE IN LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER.

MY 2012 F150 REAR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SECTION SUDDENLY SHATTERED AFTER TURNING ON THE REAR DEFROST FUNCTION. REAR DEFROST WENT ON THEN I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING G.

WHEN THE GLASS SHATTERED THE TEMPERATURE WAS NEAR 30 DEGREES AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE AND LOST POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR IMMEDIATELY ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR DIMMED BRIEFLY. THE CONTACT CALLED THE NEAREST FORD DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT SINCE THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED, HE SHOULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LARRY H. MILLER FORD LAKEWOOD, 11595 W 6TH AVE, LAKEWOOD, CO 80215, (720) 643-1545) AND REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADDED AN AIR DEFLECTOR PER TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN: 13-08-01. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,251.

I PURCHASED A 2012 FORD ECOBOOST IN JULY 2012. AND PURCHASED AN EXTENDED 5YR 100K MILE WARRANTY., WHICH WAS VALID THROUGH JULY 20, 2017. IN AUGUST OF 2017, AFTER THE TRUCK SAT FOR A COUPLE DAYS, I WOULD START THE CAR AND HEAR A LOUD RATTLE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE MOTOR. I STARTED TO RESEARCH THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT ECOBOOST MODELS FROM 2011-2015 HAD FAULTY TIMING CHAINS THAT STRETCHED / MALFUNCTIONED AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I FOUND SEVERAL TESTIMONIALS AND VIDEOS OF ECOBOOST OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I CONTACTED FORD AND BASICALLY GOT A "SORRY" RESPONSE SINCE I WAS 60 DAYS OVER THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THE REPAIR COST $~ 4000 AND FORD IS TURNING A BLIND EYE. I HAVE FOLLOWED ALL MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS AND TAKE IMPECCABLE CARE OF MY VEHICLE. AND I'M NOW FACED WITH A $4000 REPAIR BILL WITH A TRUCK WITH 77K MILES ON IT. WE NEED NHTSA TO HELP FORD STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND MAKE THIS RIGHT TO THE CUSTOMER. AND ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS CURRENT TSB. IF NOT REPAIRED, THE TIME CHAIN CAN JUMP AND DESTROY THE MOTOR. THIS ISN'T A SMALL ISSUE. NO CONSUMER SHOULD BE FACED WITH A $4000 REPAIR BILL AFTER 77K MILES AND TAKING CARE OF THEIR VEHICLE. YOUR SUPPORT IN INSTITUTING A RECALL FOR THIS DESIGN MALFUNCTION WILL NOT JUST HELP ME, BUT MANY OTHERS I'VE MET ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. REGARDS.

I WENT TO OPEN THE MOONROOF ON A HOT AFTERNOON TO VENT THE TRUCK. I PRESSED THE SWITCH TO TILT THE GLASS AND IT DIDN'T SEEM TO MOVE. I TRIED THE SLIDE FUNCTION AND HEARD A LOUD POP. THE GLASS SLID ABOUT 1" AND STOPPED. I TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO OPEN OR CLOSE THE MOONROOF AND ONLY SUCCEEDED IN GETTING IT TO OPEN ABOUT 5" AND IT WILL NOT CLOSE. I HAVE READ MANY POSTS ON FORD FORUMS AND OTHER FORUMS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IT INCLUDES NOT ONLY THE F-150'S BUT EXPLORERS AND EXPEDITIONS FROM 2007 TO PRESENT. A SMALL PLASTIC PART BREAKS AND RENDERS TO MOONROOF INOPERABLE. THE OWNER IS THEN STUCK WITH AN OPENING IN THE ROOF OF THEIR VEHICLE THAT WILL LET THE WEATHER IN. RAIN COULD POTENTIALLY SHORT OUT MUCH OF THE VEHICLES ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE ESTIMATED COST TO FIX THIS AT THE DEALER IS AS MUCH AS $2400 FOR A PART THE PROBABLY COST FORD LESS THAN $1. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BUT COULD VERY WELL HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AS I HAVE OPENED THE MOONROOF WHILE TRAVELING BEFORE. THE SOUND OF THE PLASTIC PIECES BREAKING WHILE OPENING COULD VERY WELL STARTLE A DRIVER IF OPENED WHILE TRAVELING. I HAVE TO TRAVEL WITH A PIECE OF PLASTIC IN THE TRUCK AND USE IT TO COVER THE OPENING IN CASE OF RAIN. ALSO THE VEHICLE ISN'T SECURE BECAUSE OF THE OPENING. I'M ALSO NOT SURE IF THIS WILL SHATTER THE GLASS IF OPENED FURTHER.

I HAVE A 2012 F-150 AND HAVE LOST POWER ALONG WITH THE BODY OF TRUCK SHACKING ON 4 OCCASIONS. WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY THROTTLE BODIES I HAVE HAD - THE ORIGINAL, THE REPLACEMENT IN 2016, ANOTHER REPLACEMENT IN 2016 AND NOW I BROKE DOWN AGAIN YESTERDAY. ACTUALLY ON THE 3RD THROTTLE BODY, MY HUSBAND DROPPED ME OFF TO PICK TRUCK UP AT DEALERSHIP AND I BROKE DOWN IN THE FORD DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT AS I WAS EXITING THE DEALERSHIP. I AGAIN LEFT IT AND THEY SAID IT WAS DUST ON SOMETHING AND LATER AFTERNOON DELIVERED IT TO MY HOUSE. SO NOW ONE YEAR LATER... ONE YEAR TO THE DAY OF BREAKING DOWN, YESTERDAY 5/11/17, I LOST POWER ON TOP OF A BIG BRIDGE ON THE INSIDE LINE COMING ON TO OUR ISLAND AND BY THE GRACE OF GOD NO ONE WAS IN THE OUTER LANE AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER TO THE VERY SMALL AND TIGHT EMERGENCY LANE. PEOPLE ARE USUALLY CRESTING THE BRIDGE AT 60 MPH SO I SAY GOD WAS WATCHING OVER US. WE CALLED 911 AND WAITED IN THE EMERGENCY LANE ON TOP OF BRIDGE AND HAD A POLICE ESCORT OFF THE BRIDGE TO A PARKING LOT. WE WERE AFRAID TO MOVE ON OUR OWN IN CASE SOMEONE CRESTED THE BRIDGE AND WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD AS WE WERE COASTING DOWN. THE EMERGENCY LANE IS VERY NARROW ON THE BRIDGE AND IT WAS A LITTLE NERVE-WRACKING. AFTER SITTING 5 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO START THE TRUCK AGAIN WHICH IS ALWAYS THE CASE. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND HAVE CALLED LEFT MESSAGE TWICE TO SPEAK TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE HAS YET TO CALL ME BACK. WAY TO GO FORD! MY FAITH IN YOU IS LOST. I WILL NEVER FEEL SAFE IN MY TRUCK AGAIN. HOW MANY THROTTLE BODIES DOES ONE HAVE TO GO THROUGH BEFORE YOU FEEL THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THE 2012 F-150. #LUCKYTOBEALIVE

I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AS I CAN'T AFFORD A HUGE REPAIR BILL. OTHER F150 OWNERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES AND I AM CONCERNED.

WHILE I WAS WARMING MY F 150 IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR DEPARTURE TO WORK, I HEARD VERY VERY LOUD THUMP SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR WINDOW. ASSUMING MAYBE I OPENED MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR TO FAR AND WIDE UPON GETTING IN, THAT MAY HAVE MADE THE THUMP SOUND. BUT AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, AND PROCEEDED A HALF MILE DOWN THE STREET, I NOTICE TINY SMALL SPIDER FRAGMENTS ON THE RIGHT END OF THE 3 PANEL REAR WINDOW. I FIRST ASSUMED IT WAS MIST DROPPING FROM THE WINDOW BUT ALL THE OTHER WINDOWS ON THE TRUCK WERE DRY & CLEAR. SO I PULLED OVER TO GET OUT TO CHECK TO SEE IF IT WAS TRULY CRACKED AND DAMAGED. AND YES INDEED!!! IT WAS THE REAR RIGHT SIDE PANEL WINDOW DAMAGED. I REMEMBERED THE VERY LOUD THUMP SOUND THAT OCCURRED FIVE MINUTES AGO AND SAW THAT MY DEFROST WAS LIGHT FLICKING AND NOW I REALIZE THAT THE REAR DEFROST MUST HAVE A DEFECT, BECAUSE I NEVER EXPERIENCE THIS EVER BEFORE ON ANY OTHER VEHICLES I OWNED AND CONSIDERING I ONLY HAVE LESS THAN 37000 MILES THERE MUST BE A MAJOR DEFECT WITH THE F150 REAR PANEL WINDOWS. IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE FORD F-150 PLEASE CONTACT ME BECAUSE THIS IS UNSAFE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE SMALL CHILDREN, OR ANY PASSENGERS SITTING IN THE REAR. I'M JUST THANKFUL THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE REAR. THE COST TO REPAIR IS EXTREMELY COSTLY CONSIDERING THAT THE ENTIRE REAR PANEL WINDOW HAS TO BE REPLACE, THIS ISN'T FAIR TO THE CONSUMERS.

I WAS CRUISING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND IT FELT LIKE THE ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF. THE RPM WAS FINE, HOWEVER ON THE SPEEDOMETER IT KEPT GOING UP AND DOWN (MY MPH WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE), AND IT FELT LIKE SOME ONE WAS PUMPING THE BRAKES (LIGHTLY). I TRIED ACCELERATING BUT ALL IT DID WAS MAKE A SCREECHING SOUND. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO PREVENT CARS FROM REAR ENDING ME AND PLACED IN PARK. I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS STILL ON AT THIS POINT AND PULLED BACK OUT ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. A FEW DAYS LATER, I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP WHICH THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTICS AND FOUND NO ISSUES. ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP, I EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING AS I WAS EXITING I35.

THE BELOW PROBLEM HAS REPEATED ITSELF MORE THAN 20 TIMES SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT. WHEN PARKED OVERNIGHT OR OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, UPON STARTING AND OPERATING THE TRUCK - EITHER REVERSE OR DRIVE - THE BRAKES FAIL TO ENGAGE THE FIRST ONE OR TWO TIMES. HAD TO EITHER HIT THE BRAKES VERY HARD OR I HAD TO REVERT THE TRUCK TO P(PARKING) POSITION. THIS JUST ABOUT WORKS TO BRING THE TRUCK TO A HALT, BUT EVEN THIS FAILED A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN D(DRIVING FORWARD). THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS AROUND FOR 10 METERS. THIS HAS LED ME TO ONLY STARTING THE VEHICLE WHEN THERE IS NO PERSON/OBJECT EITHER IN FRONT OR THE REAR. IT IS HIGH-RISK EACH TIME GIVEN THE DAMAGE THE TRUCK CAN DO IF IT COLLIDES INTO SOMETHING. IT IS NOT READILY REPRODUCIBLE AS IT WORKS FINE THEREAFTER AND HENCE COULD NOT PROVE IT EXISTS TO FORD TECHNICIANS. REPORTED IT FIRST TO FORD ALONG WITH AN E-BRAKE ISSUE ON 02/12/2015. THEY REPLACED THE E-BRAKE BUT BRUSHED OFF THIS ISSUE SAYING IT COULD BE RUST AND IT'S NORMAL ON VEHICLES PARKED FOR LONG. HOWEVER THE FREQUENCY HAS INCREASED OF LATE AND I SEE QUITE A FEW FORD OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE ON FORD FORUMS. THE POSSIBLE ISSUES COULD BE THE VACUUM PUMP FAILING, BUT FORD TECHNICIANS CLAIM TO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. REALLY AT A LOSS AND HOPE FORD SENDS OUT A BULLETIN TO FIX THIS ASAP. THIS IS NOT A JOKE. IT'S LIFE THREATENING AND COULD CAUSE REAL DAMAGE VERY SOON.

THIS SITE ALSO HAS A SERVICE RECORD STATING THAT SOME F150'S REAR DEFROSTERS WILL NOT WORK FOR YEARS 2010 - 2013. THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID I WOULD NEED THE REAR WINDOW REPLACED. SINCE I WAS UNDER WARRANTY FOR MILEAGE, BUT NOT FOR THE TIME, FORD SAID THEY WOULD COVER $600 OF THE APPROXIMATE $1200 COST. I TOLD THEM THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE MY REAR WINDOW COULD HAVE BLOWN OUT LIKE OTHERS HAVE. THERE IS A PICTURE ON THE INTERNET THAT SHOWS THE WINDOW TEMPERATURE AT 140 DEGREES ON ONE VEHICLE.
