2010 Ford F-150

AT 6:00AM ON 5-26-2019 I STARTED VEHICLE WITH BOTH DEFROSTERS ON. IT WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. I LET VEHICLE RUN ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO REMOVE FOG FROM WINDOWS. UPON RE-ENTRY I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL LIKE WHEN YOU START YOUR FURNACE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE WINTER. I TRIED TO LOCATE THE ODOR, I NOTICED THE ODOR WAS STRONGEST IN REAR SEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. I NOTICED THAT THE BACK GLASS WAS NOW SHATTERED BUT INTACT. A POLICE REPORT AND INVESTIGATION WAS PERFORMED. THE OFFICER CONCLUDED THAT THERE WAS NO IMPACT. I PLACED PACKING TAPE ON WINDOW TO SECURE GLASS UNTIL IT CAN BE REPLACED.

THE VEHICLE WILL BREAK ON ITS OWN, WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. IT USUALLY OCCURS WHEN TRAVELING AT LOWER SPEEDS. 40 MPH AND LOWER. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY INCIDENTS ON THE FREEWAY, JUST ON THE HIGHWAY AND MOUNTAIN ROADS. NO CODES COME UP. THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT MAY COME ON BUT IT GOES AWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HAWK FORD OF ST. CHARLES (LOCATED AT 2525 E MAIN ST, ST.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE STUDS, WHICH ALSO SNAPPED OFF.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.
