2010 Ford F-150

WHEN SLOWING DOWN (AT AN INTERSECTION FOR EXAMPLE) TO MAKE A TURN THE VEHICLE DIES AND MAKES IT VERY, VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO TWO ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO STAY IN MY LANE DURING THE TURN. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A TRUCK SO DIFFICULT TO TURN WHEN THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING. ADDITIONALLY, THE TRUCK WILL NOT START AFTER FUELING. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND THE FORD DEALER (MADISON COUNTY FORD IN RICHMOND, KY) SAID IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I PUT FUEL IN THE TRUCK, IT WOULD NOT START. IT SAT A COUPLE OF DAYS AND STARTED. THE ENGINE WAS STOPPING JUST AS IT DID BEFORE. TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAD DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM PROPERLY. I SPEND $2,216 ON WHAT THEY SAID THE PROBLEM WAS AND IT WAS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE IS WHEN THE TRUCK DIES WHILE DRIVING AND IT CAN'T BE STEERED PROPERLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED TO START AND THE VEHICLE STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. ON ONE OCCASION, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, RESTARTED THE ENGINE, AND REGAINED NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE ENGINE FAILURE PERSISTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE LOCATED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC RESEARCHED THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE ENGINE FUSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE FUSE WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO FAIL TO START AND STALLED WHEN DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START WHEN PROMPTED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE STALLED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. BOB SIGHT FORD IN LEE'S SUMMIT, MISSOURI WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REQUESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE BROUGHT IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CITED TSB NUMBER: 15-0137 AS A POTENTIAL GUIDE FOR REPAIR OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000. *TT

I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUCK UNTIL NOW. LATELY I T'S NOT BEEN CRANKING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. SOMETIMES IT CRANKS FINE AND SOMETIME IT DOESN'T. I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE AND THEY GOT A COMMUNICATIONS CODE. I'VE HEARD A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. I'VE ALSO BEEN TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN ON YOU WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD A TICKING AND KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A ROCKER ARM OR ROD MALFUNCTION. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO CALL NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY 2010 F150 STARTED GETTING CARBON MONOXIDE COMING THROUGH THE CABIN HEATING SYSTEM. THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND BOLTS BREAKING DUE TO RUSTING OUT AND ALLOWING CARBON MONOXIDE TO SEEP INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND INTO THE CABIN. I AS THE DRIVER BECAME ILL FOR 2 DAYS AS I WAS NOT AWARE THAT THE POISON WAS COMING INTO THE CABIN AT FIRST. I HAD A 70 MILE HIGHWAY DRIVE TO GET HOME. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD SEVERE RUSTING THROUGHOUT THE DRIVE TRAIN STARTING AT 3 YEARS OLD. FORD HAS NEVER ACCEPTED ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE. I WANT TO BE CLEAR ON THIS AS IN HOPES OF NOT HAVING THIS HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. I FEEL I COULD HAVE DIED FROM THIS POISONING. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE DO THIS, ESPECIALLY ONE AS NEW AS THIS VEHICLE.
