2010 Ford F-150

MY 2010 FORD F 150 THAT I BOUGHT NEW IN AUGUST OF 2010 HAS STALLED FIVE DIFFERENT TIME OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS. THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT WITH LESS THAN 2000 MILES ON IT. WHILE STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT THE ENGINE JUST DIED. THE OTHER FOUR TIMES WAS WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. WHEN IT STALLS THE ENGINE RPM JUST GOES DOWN SMOOTHLY TO ZERO AND BECOMES VERY HARD TO STEER AND BRAKE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE MAKING A TURN ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHICH IS HOW TWO OF THE STALLS HAPPENED. THE LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON 11/27/2012 WITH ONLY 21,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. I CAME EXTREMELY CLOSE TO HITTING A DUMP TRUNK THAT HAD TO SWERVE NOT TO HIT ME. AFTER I STOP AND PUT IT BACK TO PARK IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP AND RUNS FINE. NO ENGINE LIGHTS AND THE DEALER SAYS THERE ARE NO CODES SET. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TWICE BEFORE WITH NO HELP. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR UPDATED 03/26/14

ON MY 2010 FORD F150 4X4 TRUCK THE RIGHT SIDE REAR WINDOW CHATTERED WHEN I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROSTER. YOU CAN SEE WHERE THERE WAS SOME KIND OF ENERGY BUILT UP AT THE BASE OF THE WINDOW AND IT EXPLODED OUT, BENDING THE WINDOW THIN ALUMINUM OUTER COVERING AND IT HAS A CHARRED LOOK TO IT. THE REAR WINDOW IN THAT SECTION IS CHATTERED IN A MILLION PIECES JUST WAITING TO CRUMBLE OUT. * ...UPDATED 03-20-13 *BF

I HAD STARTED MY TRUCK, TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROSTER , AND WITHIN 10 MINUTES THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE GLASS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. IT APPEARS THAT THERE WAS A SMALL ELECTRICAL FIRE OR SHORTAGE IN THE CORNER OF THE GLASS WHERE THE DEFROSTING MECHANISM ATTACHES TO THE WINDOW GLASS. THE WINDOW SEAL DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE MELTED, BUT AT THE TIME OF GLASS BREAKING , THERE WAS A LOUD BANG (SOMETHING LIKE A FIRE CRACKER EXPLODING). *TR UPDATED 12/04/12*LJ ...UPDATED 03/20/13 *BF

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON A COLD MORNING AND HAD MY REAR DEFROSTER ON. ABOUT 5 MILES FROM HOME I HEARD A LOUD, GUN SHOT TYPE SOUND AND COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED. I THOUGHT IT WAS A BLOWN TIRE BUT WHEN I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR I REALIZED THAT THE BACK PANEL IN MY REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. IT WAS TOTALLY SPIDER-WEBED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THE DEFROSTER WAS FUNCTIONING FINE SO THEY WOULDN'T COVER IT. *TR UPDATED 11/30/12 *CN

WHILE BREAKING TO MAKE RIGHT HAND TURN ENGINE STALLED. FIRST INDICATION WAS TRUCK WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. I WAS ABLE TO STOP TRUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. AT A HIGHER SPEED THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. FORD DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH AN INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THOUSANDS OF SUCH INCIDENTS, MANY OF THEM REPORTED TO THIS AGENCY. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND A CAUSE, ALTHOUGH THE MANAGER SAID IT WAS LIKELY THE THROTTLE BODY BUT HE COULD NOT REPLACE A PART UNDER WARRANTY UNLESS IT WAS POSITIVELY KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE. I WAS SENT ON MY WAY TO RISK MY LIFE IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. *TR

VEHICLE ENGINE HAS STOPPED WHILE IN MOTION ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ON 5 OCT 2012 WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 45 MPHS AND ONCE ON 19 OCT 2012 WHILE COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT. WAS UNABLE TO RESTART AT STOP LIGHT FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES. VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM BECAUSE I LOST CONTROL OF ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO STATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG MY MAKE AND YEAR MODEL. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FUEL VAPOR VALVE ASSEMBLY. REMAINS TO BE SEEN AS TO WHETHER THE PROBLEM IS FIXED OR NOT. OF COURSE, THE PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

DISCOVERED POWER STEERING OUT OF FLUID- REFILLED AND NOTICED IT RUNS OUT EVERY DAY- TOOK TO DEALER AND DISCOVERED BAD HOSE- ON BACKORDER FOR TWO MONTHS- HAVE TO REFILL EVERY DAY AND PRAY THAT IT DOESN'T FAIL ME GOING DOWN THE ROAD- STEERING LOSS IS NOT A GOOD THING IN MY BOOK- THIS IS A TWO YEAR OLD TRUCK AND THE LACK OF PARTS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM TO ME AS I HAVE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK DAILY- *TR

AS I AM PUMPING GAS, THERE IS SIGNIFICANT SEEPAGE. IN SOME CASES, I HAVE TO STOP HALF WAY THROUGH BECAUSE THE SEEPAGE IS SO GREAT. DURING THIS LAST INCIDENT, I TOOK PICTURES OF THE AREA WHERE THE SEEPAGE WAS TRICKLING DOWN AND SHOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND INSISTED THAT IT WAS DUE TO OVERFILLING MY TANK. I TOLD THEM SEEPAGE OCCURRED THROUGHOUT THE FILL UP PROCESS. THIS WAS THEIR SECOND ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. ONE MOMENT I WILL HAVE 90 MILES TO EMPTY THEN WITHIN A FEW MILES, I AM AT 50 MILES TO EMPTY. *TR

WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE DIED WHICH DISABLED THE POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. AFTER COMING TO A STOP, I WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE AND CONTINUE DRIVING. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER CODES AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. AS A SIDE NOTE, NOTHING IS WRONG ACCORDING TO THEM UNLESS THE COMPUTER FINDS AN ERROR CODE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK AS THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO 80 MPH. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF THE IGNITION TO STOP THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT SOMETHING HAD MOST LIKELY BECAME STUCK ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AS THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE FAILURE NOR GENERATE A FAILURE CODE DURING THE DIAGNOSIS. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 43,000.
