2010 Ford F-150

DASH LIGHTS GO OUT WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING, ALSO ALL GAUGES ON DASH GO TO 0 (LIKE WHEN THE TRUCK IS SHUT OFF) AND THE A/C COMPRESSOR AND BLINKERS STOPS WORKING, THE FAN CONTINUES WORKING. THE ENGINE,BREAKS, HEADLIGHTS CONTINUE TO WORK. SOMETIMES IF YOU HIT THE DASH WITH YOUR FIST EVERYTHING WILL RETURN TO WORKING CONDITION. GOOD LUCK FIGURING THIS OUT BECAUSE FORD DEALERSHIP CAN'T.

THE NORMAL CAMSHAFT PHASER ISSUES ARE OCCURRING. LOUD KNOCKING, VIBRATING WHILE IDLING, AND GENERAL RATTLING FROM THE MOTOR WHEN THE TRUCK ISN'T ABOVE 1000 RPM'S. WHILE THIS MAY NOT DIRECTLY CAUSE ACCIDENTS, IN INTENSE RATTLING AND KNOCKING CAN CAUSE OTHER ISSUES TO ARISE WHICH IN TURN CAN CAUSE MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS FOR THE NHTSA. IF FORD DOESN'T DECIDE TO TAKE ON THIS ISSUE AND REPAIR IT, THEN IT CAN BE EXPECTED THAT EVERY 3 VALVE FORD MOTOR MADE SINCE 2005 WILL EVENTUALLY SUCCUMB TO THESE MAJOR ISSUES. AS WE ALL KNOW FORD HAS HAD ISSUES DESIGNING MOTORS IN THE PAST, PRIMARILY THE 6.0, 6.4 AND 5.4 MOTOR THAT I CURRENTLY OWN, BUT IT IS TIME FOR FORD TO STEP UP AND HANDLE THE MECHANICAL PROBLEMS THAT THEIR DESIGNERS NEGLIGENCE CAUSED. IT IS NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK THAT AN AUTO MANUFACTURER STANDS BY THEIR PRODUCT AND REPAIRS OR REPLACES THE FAULTY PART WHEN THE TIME COMES. ADDITIONALLY IN THE PART YOU WHEREIN YOU ASKED FOR THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT, I WILL PUT THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE BUT PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS ISSUE IS REOCCURRING AND YOU SHOULD EXPECT KNOCKING AND VIBRATION EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE.

TRUCK WAS PARKED HOOKED TO A CAMPER WHEN I TRIED TO START THE TRUCK IT WOULD NOT START. HAD TO TOW THE TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALER THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUSE THAT OVERHEATED THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE IT WITH A FUSE KIT. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT I DID HOWEVER SEE AN ARTICLE IN CARS.COM STATING THAT FORD WAS REPLACING THIS FREE OF CHARGE. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS FUSE THAT OVERHEATS AND IN FACT SELLS A FUSE KIT THAT RELOCATES THIS FUSE AT A CHARGE OF $480 BUT I'M SENDING THIS SURVEY HOPING TO OVERTURN THIS. ACCORDING TO OTHER FORD OWNERS THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AND SEEMS VERY UNSAFE I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE PARKED AND JUST INCONVENIENCED.
