2010 Ford F-150

An aftermarket LED headlight kit was purchased from a large retailer of these products (Americantrucks.com). After receiving the kit and installing, condensation appeared inside the passenger side headlight. I contacted customer support to let them know of the defect. They told me that the part was not defective and I could take the headlight apart and wipe the inside out if I wanted to. I am concerned that the headlamp will fail in use from corrosion on electrical components exposed to the condensation. These headlights are supposed to be completely sealed.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL OF MY DASH LIGHTS WENT ON AND MY HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE DARK! IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY TRUCK STARTED JUMPING AND SHIFTING WEIRD. THE TRACTION WAS MESSING UP. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE SHOP THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE COMPUTER. I WAS IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE OF A COMMON FAULT IN THIS YEAR MODEL. I WILL BE TAKING TO A LAWYER MONDAY. PLEASE GET BACK TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER WAS LEAKING INSIDE THE VEHICLE FROM THE THIRD WINDOW AND THE MIDDLE BRAKE LIGHT WAS FULL OF WATER. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS BLACK MOLD IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE MOLD, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. ALSO, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED ELDER FORD OF TAMPA (9560 N FLORIDA AVE, TAMPA, FL 33612, (813) 321-1234) AND INFORMED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

1. I AM NOT ALONE IN A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE FUEL CANISTER BEING A PROBLEM ON THE F150- I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS TWICE NOW- OTHERS IN THE FORUM ARE DOING THE SAME. THE VAPOR CANISTER IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BECOMES FAULTY AND THE ENGINES STALL OR RUNS ROUGH- WHEN IT STALLS, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. I GREW UP WITHOUT POWER STEERING- 97$ OUT OF POCKET- DEALER COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT- HAD ANOTHER MECHANIC DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR. IT'S A SIMPLE FIX- YET CAN BE DANGEROUS IF SOMEONE WITH STRONG ARM STRENGTH CANNOT TURN THE VEHICLE OR USE THE BREAKS. THIS HAS TO BE LOOKED AT.! I SHOULD HAVE BEEN REIMBURSED! WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED IS INEXCUSABLE- HAPPENED WITH JUST 35K MILES ON TRUCK. 2. SEEMS FORD HAS A MEGA DEFECT WITH BAD DESIGN ON THEIR F150 POWER REAR WINDOWS WITH THE HEAT GRIDS GOING BAD- THIS HAPPENED AT MAYBE THE SAME TIME, AND UNLESS I SPEND 1000 DOLLARS, I HAVE NO REAR-WINDOW DEFOGGING- THIS WAS NEARLY A 50K VEHICLE, AND JUST STARTED TO FALL APART AFTER THE WARRANTY. THIS IS A BAD DESIGN- IF ICE AND ALL IN THE SOUTH, MANY DO NOT HAVE THE PREPARATIONS FOR THIS (I GREW UP IN THE NORTH). I STILL CAN'T DEFROST MY REAR WINDOW), BUT HAVE A SCRAPER 3. HIGH MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT- SEEMS, FORD REFUSES TO FIX A BAD DESIGN FOR FAULTY HIGH MOUNT THIRD BRAKE LIGHT- CHEAP GASKET WILL FADE, AND MANY OF USE (MYSELF RECENTLY) HAVE PROBLEMS WITH WATER DRIPPING INSIDE THE CAB- 100 PLUS BUCKS FOR A NEW ONE? CAN'T EVEN BUY THE GASKET?? AND LET'S ADD TO THE FACT THE LIGHTS ARE SO BADLY DESIGNED, THEY COLLECT GRIME/CRAP AND JUST LOOK LIKE YUP. (BIGGEST CONCERN IS RUINING THE INTERIOR WITH WATER- I HAD A LOT OF WET RECENTLY- F150 FORUM IS PLASTERED WITH THESE PROBLEMS. THE FUEL CANISTER MAKING THE VESICLE STALL IS DANGEROUS. AND I FEEL FORD SHOULD ADDRESS THIS. (THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT IMPROVING THE OTHER ISSUES IN 2018. SHAME- NO QUALITY!~

FORD F150 4X4 XLT, DASH BOARD KEEPS GOING OUT. SHOWS SKIDDING, AND TIRE SENSOR FAULTY, DINGGING, A/C GOES HOT, INSIDE LIGHTS DON'T WORK. HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES, SPOKE WITH FORD TOOK IT IN, THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, WHICH WE HAVE FOUND OUT IS A LIE. THEY STATED WE NEEDED A NEW BATTERY, WHICH WE HAD TESTED AS WELL AS THE ALTERNATOR AND NOTHING WRONG THERE EITHER. WE TOOK IT TO ADVANCED AUTO TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD TELL US. A YOUNG MAN SAID THAT FORD HAD PUT OUT A INSIDE NOTICE THAT HIS BUDDY SHOWED HIM OF A FAULTY WIRING HARNESS IN THE DASH. HE ASKED IF HE COULD SHOW US A SHORT TERM FIX...HE SMACKED THE DASH AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. IF WE HIT A BUMP IT WILL DO IT AGAIN, OR ON REALLY HOT DAYS, BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. WE ARE WAITING ON FORD TO RECALL THIS AS IT IS A SERIOUS HAZARD AND MAYBE START FIRES. AS SOMETIMES YOU SMELL ELECTRICAL, THIS HAPPENS DAILY WHEN EVER WE DRIVE THE TRUCK, YOU CAN HAVE A WRECK TRYING TO SMACK IT HARD ENOUGH TO GET IT TO COME BACK ON. THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE SITTING IN THE TRUCK , DRIVING, OR WHEN YOU GO TO START IT UP...YOU WILL HAVE NO GAUGES, LIGHTS A/C OR HEAT IN THE WINTER. YET THE OUTSIDE LIGHTS WILL WORK, YET WHEN YOU PUSH THE BRAKES YOU HEAR A LOUD CLICKING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR APPROX. 2.5 YRS +...FORD NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THIS. EVERYDAY WE DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEMS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. WE BROUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW AND IT FIRST DID THIS AROUND 23,000 MILES. NOW AT JUST OVER 50,000 MILES. THERE ARE TIMES THAT SMACKING THE DASH DOES NOTWORK AND WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO COME ON, THOSE TIME YOU HAVE TO RUN WITH TRAFFIC OR IF OTHERS ARE PASSING YOU NEED TO SPEED UP. VERY DANGEROUS

AFTER NOTICING THE INSIDE OF MY TRUCK WINDOWS STEAMING UP, I FELT AROUND AND FOUND THE BACK SEATS AND FLOOR WERE SOAKED. IT HAD BEEN RAINING HARD FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND IT TURNED OUT THE 3RD BRAKE/CARGO LIGHT ASSEMBLY FOR THE CARGO BED WAS FULL OF WATER AND HAD ALLOWED WATER TO INSIDE OF THE CABIN.THE CEILING LINER, SEATS AND CARPET WERE SOAKED. I HAVE DUCK-TAPED IT FOR NOW, BUT WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE ASSEMBLY. THE LIGHT BULBS HAD NEVER BEEN CHANGED. FORD IS SAYING IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT BUT WITH THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ON THE NET, IT CERTAINLY ISN'T THE CUSTOMER'S FAULT. STEP UP FORD AND DO WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING; MAKE A RECALL ON THIS PART AND FIX IT. WE SPEND ALOT OF MONEY FOR YOUR PRODUCT; STAND BEHIND IT. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN FORD MEANT QUALITY, BUT IT SURE SEEMS LIKE IT DOESN'T ANY MORE. *JS

TL-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER WAS ENTERING THE CABIN THROUGH ON OF THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THIRD REAR TAIL LIGHT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,974. DJR

THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT DOESN'T SEAL PROPERLY, ALLOWING WATER TO LEAK THROUGH DURING RAIN & CAR WASH. TOOK THE TRUCK TO FORD ONCE ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THEY CAULKED AND RESEATED THE LIGHT, BUT IT STARTED AGAIN. WE TOOK THE RAPTOR BACK TO FORD DEALER AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE US $215 TO PUT IN A NEW LIGHT. #1. MANUFACTURER/FORD DEFECT & #2. AFTERMARKET AND OEM ARE CHEAPER ONLINE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, THAT ISN'T BEING PROPERLY ADDRESSED. HTTP://WWW.FORDRAPTORFORUM.COM/F39/3RD-BRAKE-LIGHT-ISSUES-3350/. *TR

VEHICLE WAS SITTING OUTSIDE AFTER A HEAVY RAIN NOTICED WATER LEAKING FROM INTERIOR ROOF. MY WINDOWS FOGGED UP IMPAIRING MY VISION FROM THE EXCESSIVE MOISTURE INSIDE THE VEHICLE. ALSO MY VEHICLE SMELLS MUSTY AND MOLDY CAUSING HEALTH CONCERNS TO MYSELF AND OTHER PASSENGERS. I TURNED ON THE LIGHT IN THE EVENING AND COULD SEE LIGHT SHINING THROUGH BETWEEN THE GASKET OF THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND THE METAL OF THE CAB. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT SO THEY COULD LOOK AT IT WHEN I ALREADY KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I ASKED THE SHOP PERSON IF HE COULD TAKE A QUICK LOOK AT IT SO HE COULD SEE WHAT I WAS SEEING AND HE TOLD ME IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THE GASKET NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WAS ASSURED BY THE FORD DEALER THAT I NEED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT AND THAT FORD WILL NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE FOR THE LEAK OR THE WATER DAMAGE. *TR

WATER LEAKS THROUGH THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT LENS DURING HARD RAIN OR AUTO CAR WASH. ENOUGH WATER COMES IN TO SOAK THE BACK SEAT AND THE FLOOR. THEN THERE IS SO MUCH MOISTURE INSIDE THE CAB THAT THE DEFROSTER CAN NOT CLEAR THE WINDOWS NOR INSIDE THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY PROBLEM AS THE DRIVER'S VISION IS VERY EFFECTED. CALLED LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE ARE NOT A PROBLEM - PROBABLY JUST A PINCHED GASKET FROM CHANGING A LIGHT BULB. BUT THAT IS NOT THE FACTS. PLEASE CHECK OUT THE MANY ONLINE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR
