2010 Ford F-150

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW IN NOVEMBER 2010 WITH 5 MILES ON IT. IN MARCH MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING REPEATEDLY WHEN NO NEED FOR IT TO SHIFT WAS EVEN PRESENT. IT WOULD DROP FROM 6TH TO 4TH ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO TOUCH OF THE GAS PEDAL. ALSO WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STAND STILL IF YOU SLOWLY ACCELERATE THEN GET ON THE GAS FULLY THEIR IS A HUGE DELAY IN ENGINE RESPONSE AS I WAS TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND FLOORED THE TRUCK AND ALMOST WAS HIT BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS UNRESPONSIVE TO MY NEED FOR FULL THROTTLE. I REPEAT THE DELAY ONLY OCCURS FROM A VERY SLOW ACCELERATE THEN TO A SUDDEN FULL THROTTLE FROM A STOP. THE TRUCK IS RESPONSIVE FROM DEAD STOP TO FULL THROTTLE. ANOTHER IS EXTREMELY HARD SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS BAD DROP INTO 1ST FROM 2ND. ALSO HAVE SLIGHT SHAKING ON TAKE OFF. TOOK VEHICLE IN THEY REPLACED SOME PART ON MY VEHICLE AND I HAVE IT BACK WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS, THEY EVEN WROTE ON MY RECEIPT THAT THEY STILL FELT PROBLEMS AFTER THE FIX! NOW THEY ARE CLAIMING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK WHEN I TAKE IT BACK IN. TRUCK HAS ONLY 5,000 MILES ON IT TRULY DISAPPOINTED IN THE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AN ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK AND PINNED TO THE FLOOR MAT AS THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. HE THEN USED HIS FEET TO RELEASE THE FLOOR MAT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CONTACT STATED HE HAD EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE SEVERAL TIMES OVER A COURSE OF THREE MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER ADVISED HIM THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE OF LIABILITY REASONS. HE WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT THEY COULD NOT ALTER THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE FLOOR MAT WHERE A HOOK WAS SUPPOSED TO SECURE THE MAT TO THE FLOOR BUT THERE WAS NO RETAINER CLIP IN THE FLOOR BOARD OF THE VEHICLE TO SECURE THE FLOOR MAT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 9,900. UPDATED 11/03/11*LJ UPDATED 11/14/11

ON OR ABOUT JULY 15TH 2010 I PURCHASED MY FORD F150 BRAND NEW WITH 3 MILES ON IT. NO PROBLEMS OCCURRED UNTIL DECEMBER 31ST 2010. HEADING NORTH ON A 3 LANE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK JUST "SHUT OFF"..DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF HEAVY TRAFFIC. I IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPTED TO RESTART AND WOULD NOT RESTART UNTIL 3RD ATTEMPT. I LOOKED AT THE GAS GAGE, IT READ 3/4 FULL. THIS DID NOT REOCCUR UNTIL JANUARY 3RD, 2011. THE SAME AS BEFORE STALLED WITH FULL TANK OF GAS.THIRD TIME OCCURRED JANUARY 19TH, 2011 WITH MY WIFE DRIVING AND 2 MINOR CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS AGAIN HAPPENED STALLED ON HIGHWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, WITH FULL TANK OF GAS. STATE TROOPER WITH HIGHWAY PATROL HAD TO STOP TRAFFIC AND PUSH THE TRUCK TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTED THE FULL TANK OF GAS. TOWED TO FORD WHO REFUSED TO FIX THIS VEHICLE CLAIMING THAT THIS DEFECT NEEDED TO REOCCUR WITH A FLIGHT RECORDER ATTACHED TO IT, BUT FORD DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO DRIVE IT STATING"IT WAS A LIABILITY TO THEIR BUISNESS AND COULD CAUSE INJURY TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STAFF"...THEY THEN REFUSED TO KEEP IT ANY LONGER AND DELIVERED IT TO OUR HOME WITH THE SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT STILL UNTOUCHED! *TR

THE DAY AFTER PURCHASING A NEW 2010 F-150 FORD TRUCK THIS PAST NOVEMBER I EXPERIENCED A TERRIBLE VIBRATION AT AROUND 70 MPH. I STOPPED AT THE NEAREST FORD DEALER WHICH WAS FRANKFORT KY AND THEY CHECKED THE BALANCE THEN SAID THERE WAS AN DRIVE SHAFT ALIGNMENT REPAIR NEEDED BUT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL HOURS. BECAUSE I WAS TRAVELING AND WOULD NOT BE AT MY HOME LOCATION FOR A WEEK I CALLED THE DEALER IN NORTH CAROLINA WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED, AFTER A BIT OF CHECKING AROUND THEY TOLD ME VIA PHONE THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS NOT THE ISSUE. A WEEK LATER I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER AND THEY BALANCED THE TIRES AND GIVE IT BACK TO ME. I HAD A 400 MILE TRIP TO MAKE AND WITHIN THE FIRST 50 MILES THE SHAKE WAS BACK IN THE TRUCK. I CALLED THE DEALER THEN RETURNED THE TRUCK BACK TO THEM 3 DAYS LATER. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOOK A RIDE WITH ME AND SAID IT FELT LIKE FLAT SPOTS ON THE TIRES. THE KEPT THE TRUCK OVERNIGHT AND DID ANOTHER BALANCE JOB WHILE CHECKING THE DRIVE SHAFT, BRAKES, TRANSMISSION AND ROTORS. WHEN I GOT THE TRUCK BACK THIS TIME THE SHAKING STARTED AT 45 MPH AND CONTINUED TO AROUND 65 MPH. I WAS ON ANOTHER TRIP AND CALLED THE DEALER TO RELAY THE BAD NEWS. I RETURNED THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES WITH PIRELLI 20 INCH SCORPION TIRES LIKE THE ONES THAT CAME ON IT. I OFFERED TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE IN PRICE TO INSTALL ANOTHER BRAND OF TIRE BUT THE DEALER WOULD NOT HAVE IT. AFTER TAKING THE TRUCK ON A 2000 MILE TRIP THE SHAKING HAS RETURNED JUST AS BAD AS THE DAY I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. THE VEHICLE IS 4 MONTHS OLD AND HAS 16000 MILES ON IT, I HAVE COMPLAINED SINCE THE DAY IT WAS PURCHASED AND NOW ITS NEARING HALF OF THE WARRANTY LIFE AND THE ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED. THE TRUCK SHAKES SO BAD YOU WILL GET AN UPSET STOMACH AFTER A FEW HOURS OF RIDING IN IT. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW DECEMBER 2010. ITS FIRST PROBLEM WAS THAT ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS IT STALLED AND DIED APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. I TOOK IT IN AND THE TECH REPROGRAMMED THE ENGINE. I DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM FOR A MONTH UNTIL TODAY. TODAYS PROBLEM SCARED THE CRAP PUT OF ME. I WAS CRUISING DOWN THE ROAD AT 70 MPH WHEN MY TRUCK SHIFTED DOWN FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1ST. I FISH TAILED AND ALMOST LOST IT.I WAS GOING DOWN A HILL, IT WASN'T A VERY STEEP DECLINE. MY TRUCK WHILE CRUISING AND GOING DOWN HILLS USUALLY SHIFTS DOWN ONE GEAR ACTING LIKE AN ENGINE BREAK TO KEEP MY SPEED FROM INCREASING. TODAY IT WENT RIGHT FROM 6 TO 1. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME OR THEY WOULD HAVE PLOWED ME. I GOT PULLED OVER AND STARTED MY ENGINE, EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I DROVE FOR A LITTLE WHILE LONGER AND PULLED OVER CALLED ROADSIDE ASSIST AND HAD IT TOWED TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I PURCHASED A FORD BECAUSE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SAFE AND DEPENDABLE. THE TRUCK HAS 9500 MILES ON IT. *TR

ON 02/25/10 MY P/U HAD 2214 MILES, I COMPLAINED OF CLUNKY SHIFTING GEAR HUNTING AND 2 SECOND HESITATION WHEN PUSH ACCELERATOR DOWN FOR PASSING. FORD ,DIAGNOSIS EVERY THING NORMAL. I AM LIVING WITH THIS NIGHTMARE. I HAVE BEEN PROFESSIONAL DRIVER SINCE 1976. 02/26/11 BACK INTO FORD WITH CLUNKY TRAN. AND 2 SECOND HESITATION WHEN PASSING AT 50 MPH. FOUND NO PROBLEM. 02/02/11 BACK INTO FORD SAME SYMPTOMS TOLD THEM I WANT TO RIDE WITH TECH. DID NOT ALLOW RIDE WITH TECH SERVICE WRITER AND SERVICE MGR. SAID THEY EXPERIENCED MY PROBLEM. TOLD ME COME BACK WHEN TRANS. TECH AVAILABLE. THEN WROTE MY INVOICE TO READ UNABLE TO DUPLICATE? FORD I BELIEVE HAS ISSUED TALKING POINTS TO ALL LOCATIONS TO COVER UP THE FACT THAT THERE IS PROBLEM! THIS IS SERIOUS BECAUSE MANY TIMES IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION YOU ACCELERATE INSTEAD OF BRAKE. SO WHEN YOU GO TO ACCELERATE AND HAVE A 2 SECOND DELAY IN PEDAL PUSH DOWN TO WHEN THE COMPUTER READS WHAT TO DO AND GIVES YOU PASSING GEAR YOU COULD BE RUN OVER! PLEASE HELP MY VEHICLE LISTED FOR 46,000 PLUS PAID 40,000 FOR IT. CONSUMERS IN AMERICA SHOULD NOT GET FLEECED LIKE THIS WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES. THANK YOU, HOW IRONIC I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A CHEVY GUY UNTIL THIS NIGHTMARE! *TR

MY FORD F-150 TRUCK(MILAGE,529) HAS STALLED OR LOST POWER AND STALLED 10 TIMES ON 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE PROBLEM STARTED ON 01-14-11. THE FIRST TWO VISITS TO THE DEALER THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE CONDITION OR FIND A CODE IN THE COMPUTER. NO MECHANICAL WORK WAS PERFORMED. ON 01-26-11 THE WRENCH APPEARED, I DROVE DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER. THE TECH FOUND TWO CONFLICTING CODES. HE E-MAILED FORD TECH CENTER WITH THE PROBLEM. ON 01-28-11 THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. (CODE P0505) ON 02-01-11 TRUCK STALLED AGAIN, THIS TIME THEY REPLACE THE RESONATOR(PIN POINT LEAK TO THE RESONATOR HOSE CODE P0102 AT 9511 MILES. ON 02-08-11 TRUCK STALLED AT A STOP SIGN. ( NO WRENCH) ON 02-15-11 TRUCK STALLED TWICE (WRENCH SHOWED UP ) AT MILEAGE 9,525- 14 MILES SINCE THE RESONATOR WORK. ON 02-16-11 I HAD A MEETING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER. HE WAS VERY COURTEOUS AND PROFESSIONAL. I GAVE THE SERVICE MANAGER A COPY OF A REPORT ON PROBLEMS FOR 2010 FORD F-150 TRUCKS. (WWW.ARFC.ORG) I UNDERSTAND THIS INFORMATION IS FROM THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (WWW.NHTSA.GOV) THIS WAY THEY CAN NOT SAY THEY NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. ON 02-16-11 TRUCK WAS RETURNED TO DEALER. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. THE TRUCK STALLS BETWEEN 10 AND 40 MPH YOU LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER THE TRUCK.ON ONE OCCASION I WAS TURNING INTO MY PROPERTY MAKING A LEFT TURN. I WAS GOING SLOW SO I WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE I HIT A SNOW BANK. ONCE YOU LOSE POWER STEERING THERE IS NO WAY TO STEER THE TRUCK AND THE BREAKS FADE VERY FAST. *TR
