MY TRUCK WONDERS ALL OVER THE ROAD AND SHAKES TO THE POINT THAT THE PASSENGER IS SICK. HARD TO STEER OUT OF RUTS AND CROSSWINDS BLOW THE TRUCK IN TO THE NEXT LANE AND YOU CAN'T CONTROL IT. CAN'T TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD IN FRONT OF YOU TO EVEN LOOK AT THE EXIT SIGNS BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE AND UNPREDICTABLE TO THE POINT THAT YOUR HANDS ARE GOING TO TURN NUMB FROM LACK OF BLOOD IN YOUR FINGERS DUE TO THE WHITE KNUCKLES FROM HANGING ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL SO TIGHT. VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES NOW AND THEY HAVE REPLACE BOTH FRONT SPRINGS AND STRUTS AND HAVE REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION 2 TIMES NOW. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FACTORY TIRES ARE NOT THAT GREAT AND HAVE SOFT SIDE WALLS AND THAT COULD BE THE REASON AS TO WHY IT'S NOT FIXED AND THE FORD SHOCKS ARE UNDER RATED FOR THE VEHICLE. SO I HAVE PUT NEW BILSTIEN 5100 SHOCKS ON ALL THE WAY AROUND AND HAVE PUT BETTER TIRES AND WHEELS ON IT. TRUCK STILL DOES THE SAME THING. THIS TRUCK IS UNSAFE AND HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE. HERE ARE THE OTHER COMPLAINT #'S. 10392353, 10407502, 10336730. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE FORD HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED ANY OF THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE OR BURN TO DEATH AND I HOPE IT'S NOT ME OR MY FAMILY. THE ONLY RECALL I CAN FIND ON THIS TRUCK IS THE DOOR HANDLE AND WAS TOLD IT DOESN'T PERTAIN TO MY TRUCK. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE FOR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED BECAUSE I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE OUT THERE WHO IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THEIR $46,000 TRUCK THAT'S NOT EVEN 2 YEARS OLD YET. THIS TRUCK WAS SUPPOSE TO BE BUILT FORD TOUGH. I WILL BE TRADING THIS P.O.S IN AS SOON AS I CAN COUGH UP ALL OF THE NEGATIVE EQUITY THAT I HAVE ACQUIRED DUE TO THE HIGH PRICE OF THIS LEMON. I HAVE SAID MY PEACE AND NOW IT'S ON FILE JUST IN CASE I CRASH AND BURN, AT LEAST I KNOW MY FAMILY WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF NOW (I HOPE). *TR

DASH INSTRUMENT LIGHTING DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN MANUALLY TURNING ON THE HEADLAMPS. THE CLUSTER LAMPS ARE APPARENTLY CONTROLLED AUTOMATICALLY BY A SENSOR LOCATED ON THE DASH, HOWEVER IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE DASH METERS WHEN IT IS DARK ENOUGH TO TURN ON THE HEADLAMPS, BUT NOT LIGHT ENOUGH FOR THE SENSOR TO ENGAGE. YOU CAN BE DRIVING IN A RAINSTORM AND HEADLAMPS ARE NEEDED, BUT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LAMPS WILL NOT TURN ON AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ANY OF THE READINGS ON THE GAUGES. APPARENTLY THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT FORD WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. JUST THE WAY IT THE VEHICLE IS DESIGNED. THIS IS HAZARDOUS CONDITION THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 FORD F150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F150. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED A BURNING SMELL FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED A SIX INCH MELTED SPOT ON THE RUBBER NEAR THE FLOORBOARD. AS THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THAT THE SPOT HAD BECOME LARGER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,100. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING INTERSTATE 81 IN VIRGINIA ON 8/13/2011. WE WERE DRIVING IN THE STAUNTON, VA AREA AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHERE THE REAR WHEELS ON MY 2010 F-150 IMMEDIATELY LOCKED UP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, AND WITH THE HELP OF FORD TECHS, THEY FEEL THE ISSUE WAS THE TRANSMISSION IMMEDIATELY DROPPED FROM 6TH GEAR DOWN TO 1ST GEAR. FORTUNATELY THE ROAD WAS DRY AND I GAINED CONTROL AND MOVED THE VEHICLE SAFELY OFF THE ROAD, HOWEVER MY CONCERN IS IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THEY ARE 100% SURE THAT THIS WAS THE CAUSE, AND EVEN IF IT IS, HOW DO I KNOW IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN IN THE FUTURE...WITH A WORSE OUTCOME. I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AND WE WERE LUCKY WE DIDN'T GET INTO A MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT. NOW I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN, AND FORD SEEMS TO FEEL THERE ISN'T AN ISSUE, BUT I SEE NUMEROUS POSTS ON THE INTERNET OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS. SHOULD FORD BE DOING MORE TO ENSURE THEIR CUSTOMERS ARE SAFE IN THEIR VEHICLES, OR SHOULD I JUST FIND ANOTHER TRUCK THAT IS SAFER? *KB
