2010 Ford F-150

BOUGHT A USED 2010 F-150 SUPERCREW 4X4 5.4L 3V ENGINE WITH 38,600 MILES ON IT, FIRST WEEK IT DROVE FINE. BUT THEN. IT STALLED FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND CONTINUED TO DO SO, FINALLY GOT A ENGINE LIGHT, AND REPLACED O2 SENSORS, DIDN'T HELP, NOW DEALERSHIP DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX!!! SO SCARY AND DANGEROUS!! PLEASE FORCE ACTION! THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. STALLS OUT/ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING!!!!!!! LOSES POWER STEERING, AND ALL CONTROL!!! ABSOLUTELY DUMBFOUNDED THAT THIS HASN'T SEEN A RECALL WITH SO MANY SIMILAR OCCURRENCES!!! SO DISAPPOINTED! I'M SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE MY NEW CAR.

THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND WHEN SLOWING TO MAKE A SHARP TURN CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STOP AND LOOSE BRAKING AND STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE FORD DEALER AT A COST OF $820.25 TO REPLACE PART # 8F9Z 9F472 E SENSOR HEGO, ON THE FIRST VISIT WHICH DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, ON THE NEXT VISIT TO THE DEALER PART # 8F9Z 9E730 G SENSOR HEGO AND PART # 9L3Z 9E730 G VALVE ASY FUEL VAPOUR WERE REPLACED WHICH CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN APPROACHING STOP SINGS AND WHEN SLOWING TO MAKE A SHARP TURN ON HIGHWAYS WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC BEHIND MY VEHICLE CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKES AND STEERING. I HAVE THE INVOICES IN MY POSSESSION BUT AM UNABLE TO UPLOAD.

I LIVE IN A METROPOLITAN AREA WHERE THERE IS ALWAYS A HIGH VOLUME OF TRAFFIC AND LOSING POWER OF A VEHICLE IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. DRIVING IN 5:00 RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND ACCELERATING FROM A RED LIGHT WHEN MY FORD TRUCK ENTERED INTO A "LIMP HOME" MODE (WRENCH ICON AND OIL LAMP APPEARED) IT STALLED OUT. I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT EVEN THOUGH I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. EVENTUALLY, I WAS ABLE TO START MY VEHICLE. MY TRUCK DROVE FINE BUT NOW AND THEN HAD A HESITATION TO START. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, IT STALLED AGAIN; THIS TIME IT DID NOT START. I WAS A BLOCK FROM MY OFFICE AND WE PUSHED IT BACK. I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. I WORK IN OUTSIDE SALES AND HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED $700. THE TRUCK DROVE OK FOR ABOUT A MONTH, BUT STILL HESITATED ON STARTING. IN JUNE, ONCE AGAIN IT STALLED. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. JULY 9TH, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55 MPH WHEN I CAME TO A SIGNAL LIGHT AND STOPPED. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I BEGIN MY LEFT HAND TURN AND THE TRUCK STALLED. I HAD IT TOWED TO FORD DEALER. THEY ARE SAYING THAT NOW IT IS THE FUEL PUMP BATTERY JUNCTION BOX, ANOTHER $2500 AND IT WILL TAKE AFTER LABOR DAY BEFORE I GET MY TRUCK BACK BECAUSE THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE!!! RENT A CAR FOR 2 MONTHS ON TOP OF THAT!!!

LEAVING RED LIGHT, TRUCK STALLED. OIL LIGHT CAME ON, LOST POWER STEERING, BRAKE. WAS ABLE TO COAST AT AN ANGLE TO THE SIDE. COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR TRAFFIC JAM. PUT TRUCK IN PARK, WAITED A MINUTE, TURNED BACK ON AND GAVE IT GAS. RAN FINE AFTER THAT. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP NEXT DAY. THEY SAID WOULD NOT BE ANY WAY TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITHOUT PULLING ENGINE APART. SUGGESTED MULTI POINT INSPECTION AND TUNE UP. DID NOT MENTION THIS ISSUE OCCURRING PREVIOUSLY OR THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE ONLINE. THEY FOUND A DUSTY AIR INTAKE SENSOR THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM. CHANGED SPARK PLUGS AND PERFORMED TUNE UP & OIL CHANGE. INCIDENT HAPPENED AGAIN LEAVING GAS STATION PUMP ON DEC 29, 2014. WHEN RESTARTED, IT CRANKED SEVERAL TIMES BUT WOULDN'T FIRE UP. TRIED 3 TIMES BEFORE SUCCESSFUL START. RAN FINE AFTER THAT. AFRAID A STALL AT HIGH SPEED OR WHEN PULLING MY HORSE AND TRAILER WILL CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENT. HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS OF FUEL PURGE VALVE OR THROTTLE BODY BUTTERFLY VALVE CAUSING THIS. NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. *JS

ACCELERATOR STUCK TO FLOORBOARD. APPLIED MAXIMUM BRAKING UNTIL BRAKES FADED AND WERE NO LONGER EFFECTIVE IN DECELERATION. TURNED OFF IGNITION AND COASTED TO THE CURB. AFTER 3-5 MINUTES, RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND VEHICLE FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. PURCHASED THIS TRUCK USED AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE ACCELERATOR WAS APPLIED FULLY. IT WILL BE THE LAST. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER COMPLETELY SO POWER STEERING WAS NON-FUNCTIONAL. WAS ABLE, WITH MUCH DIFFICULTY, TO GUIDE THE VEHICLE OFF OF BUSY ROAD AND ON TO SIDE STREET. DARN LUCKY I WASN'T INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO CROSSROADS FORD IN CARY, N.C. HERE IS WORD FOR WORD WHAT THE MECHANIC WROTE. "VEHICLE TOWED IN. CUSTOMER STATES VEHICLE TURNS OVER BUT WON'T START. CHECK AND ADVISE. "COULD NOT DUPLICATE CONCERN. RAN OASIS. NO CODES. READ PAST HOTLINE REPORTS FOR BAD PIN FIT FOR FUSE 27 IN UNDER HOOD FUSE PANEL. TRIED TO RELOCATE TO DIFFERENT LOCATION. WIRE TERMINAL DAMAGED DURING REMOVAL. INSTALLED INLINE FUSE HOLDER TO FUEL PUMP WIRE. INSTALLED 20 AMP FUSE. TEST DROVE AND NO PROBLEMS AT THIS TIME." SO BASICALLY, THIS WAS A FLAW IN MANUFACTURE REGARDING PIN FIT FOR FUSE 27 THAT CAUSED VEHICLE TO CEASE POWER WHILE DRIVING AND ENDANGERED PASSENGERS. I CALLED FORD SERVICE AT 800-392-3673 AND CASE WAS OPENED. CASE # [XXX]. CUSTOMER SERVICE REP AT CROSSROADS FORD WAS [XXX] AND MECHANIC WAS [XXX] . I SPOKE WITH SERVICE MANAGER [XXX] AND HE WAS MADE AWARE OF SITUATION AND I'M WAITING FOR HIS REPLY AS TO IF THERE WILL BE COMPENSATION. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT I HAD TRAVELED ABOUT 3 MILES WHEN I HEARD A TONE AND SAW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. I IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BRAKES AS I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AND AS THE TRUCK SLOWED I SAW A LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING COME UP ON THE DIGITAL MESSAGE CENTER AND THE ENGINE STALLED. I LOST BRAKE PRESSURE AND NEARLY RAN THE RED LIGHT. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTED THE TRUCK. I DROVE TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY (SOUTHWEST FORD OF GREENVILLE, TX) THEY TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM DOWN TO A FAULTY FUEL PURGE VALVE. THIS CAUSED A SECONDARY ISSUE DUE TO AN EXCESS VACUUM BUILD UP IN THE TANK. THE TANK WAS DEFORMED DESTROYING THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL QTY SENDING UNIT. THE REPAIR COST WAS ABOUT 1200 DOLLARS. THE DEALERSHIP WAS EXCELLENT AT GIVING ME THE DETAILED INFORMATION, AND THEY PAID FOR MY RENTAL. *TR

PLATINUM EDITION PURCHASED IN JAN 2011. ISSUE: CAP LESS GAS DOOR STAYS UNHINGED AND WILL NOT CLOSE. NOTES: HAPPENED AFTER A TRIP. DOOR WAS OPEN, RETRACT DEVICE INSIDE OF FRAME NO LONGER PROVIDES TENSION NEED TO KEEP GAS DOOR CLOSED. 1. RESULTING TO TAPING DOOR CLOSED TO PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGED TO THE TRUCK, OTHER THAN TAPE DAMAGE TO THE PAINT. 2. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW: A. RISK OF IGNITION NOW THAT GAS DOOR DOES NOT STAY CLOSED. IMPORTANT BEING TRUCK IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH GAS CAP. B. RISK OF IGNITION DUE TO EXTERNAL COMBUSTIBLE SOURCE OR IGNITION SOURCE SUCH AS BUT NOT LIMITED TO; CIGARETTES, SPARKS, ELECTRIC, TEMPERATURE ETC. 3. NEED OR DIRECTION FOR MYSELF OR OTHER DRIVERS TO UPDATE INSURANCE, ETC. FOR COVERAGE AND LIABILITY TO OTHERS THIS DEFECT COULD PRODUCE. 4. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS NOT MENTIONED IN THIS STATEMENT. OVERALL COMPLAINT IS THAT DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE ITEM IN QUESTION, AND THE VAST AMOUNT OF OTHER USERS BOTH HERE AND AT OTHER NOTED SITES AND FORUMS, A FIX NEEDS TO BE ISSUED OR INFO NEEDS TO BE PROVIDED BY FORD OR THE NHTSA OR NTSB SO DRIVER CAN KNOW THE FACTS ON THE SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVED OR LACK OF.

MY 2010 FORD F150 HAS APPROX. 30,4XX MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PERFECTLY. IN A BRIEF SUMMARY, GOING IN TO WORK EARLY (5AM) POTENTIALLY SAVED ME FROM HAVING A WRECK TO DUE A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. UPON ACCELERATING FROM A RED LIGHT, MY TRUCK ENTERED INTO A "LIMP HOME" MODE (MECHANIC WRENCH ICON APPEARED) AND BEGAN TO INCORRECTLY REGULATE MY RPMS. THIS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO BECOME NEARLY STRANDED AS I WAS MOVING NO FASTER THAN 10MPH IN A 50MPH ZONE. I WAS LUCKILY ONLY 1/8TH OF A MILE FROM WORK AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE STREET. UPON LEAVING WORK, MY TRUCK WAS ACTING FINE WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS (NOT EVEN THE MECHANIC WRENCH). I THEN PROCEEDED TO DRIVE IT TO AN AUTO PARTS SUPPLIER TO HAVE A FREE DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. NO CODES WERE SAVED OR SHOWED UP. HOWEVER, WHILE DRIVING BACK HOME, IT AGAIN ACTED UP AND ENTERED A LIMP MODE. THIS TIME BOTH "CHECK ENGINE" AND "MECHANIC WRENCH" LIGHTS WERE ON. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHO THEN DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. I AM QUOTED $881 TO PERFORM THE REPLACEMENT OF A ~$150 PART...SINCE IT IS A 2010, IT IS OUT OF THE 3YR/36,000 BUMPER TO BUMPER AND FORD DOESN'T CONSIDER THE THROTTLE BODY PART OF THE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY (FORD WILL COVER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD THOUGH, A CHUNK OF PLASTIC THAT WON'T BREAK)... FORD HAS APPARENTLY HAD PROBLEMS W/ THEIR DRIVE-BY-WIRE THROTTLE BODIES, AS SEEN THROUGH THEIR "CONSUMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03" RECALL. THIS INCIDENT SHOULD DEFINITELY BE INVESTIGATED AS I HAVE TAKEN PROPER CARE OF MY TRUCK (THAT HAS 30,400 MILES) AND I AM STRANDED IN A ROAD, OFTEN TRAVELED BY 18 WHEELERS, GOING 10MPH. I AM NOT CONFIDENT IN MY FORD TRUCK. *TR
