The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made an abnormal noise. The contact pulled over, and upon inspection, he noticed that the fuel tank straps were corroded, causing the fuel tank to detach. Additionally, there was a hole in the fuel tank, and fuel was leaking onto the ground. The vehicle was towed to the residence and was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 139,461.

1. I AM NOT ALONE IN A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE FUEL CANISTER BEING A PROBLEM ON THE F150- I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS TWICE NOW- OTHERS IN THE FORUM ARE DOING THE SAME. THE VAPOR CANISTER IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BECOMES FAULTY AND THE ENGINES STALL OR RUNS ROUGH- WHEN IT STALLS, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. I GREW UP WITHOUT POWER STEERING- 97$ OUT OF POCKET- DEALER COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT- HAD ANOTHER MECHANIC DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR. IT'S A SIMPLE FIX- YET CAN BE DANGEROUS IF SOMEONE WITH STRONG ARM STRENGTH CANNOT TURN THE VEHICLE OR USE THE BREAKS. THIS HAS TO BE LOOKED AT.! I SHOULD HAVE BEEN REIMBURSED! WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED IS INEXCUSABLE- HAPPENED WITH JUST 35K MILES ON TRUCK. 2. SEEMS FORD HAS A MEGA DEFECT WITH BAD DESIGN ON THEIR F150 POWER REAR WINDOWS WITH THE HEAT GRIDS GOING BAD- THIS HAPPENED AT MAYBE THE SAME TIME, AND UNLESS I SPEND 1000 DOLLARS, I HAVE NO REAR-WINDOW DEFOGGING- THIS WAS NEARLY A 50K VEHICLE, AND JUST STARTED TO FALL APART AFTER THE WARRANTY. THIS IS A BAD DESIGN- IF ICE AND ALL IN THE SOUTH, MANY DO NOT HAVE THE PREPARATIONS FOR THIS (I GREW UP IN THE NORTH). I STILL CAN'T DEFROST MY REAR WINDOW), BUT HAVE A SCRAPER 3. HIGH MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT- SEEMS, FORD REFUSES TO FIX A BAD DESIGN FOR FAULTY HIGH MOUNT THIRD BRAKE LIGHT- CHEAP GASKET WILL FADE, AND MANY OF USE (MYSELF RECENTLY) HAVE PROBLEMS WITH WATER DRIPPING INSIDE THE CAB- 100 PLUS BUCKS FOR A NEW ONE? CAN'T EVEN BUY THE GASKET?? AND LET'S ADD TO THE FACT THE LIGHTS ARE SO BADLY DESIGNED, THEY COLLECT GRIME/CRAP AND JUST LOOK LIKE YUP. (BIGGEST CONCERN IS RUINING THE INTERIOR WITH WATER- I HAD A LOT OF WET RECENTLY- F150 FORUM IS PLASTERED WITH THESE PROBLEMS. THE FUEL CANISTER MAKING THE VESICLE STALL IS DANGEROUS. AND I FEEL FORD SHOULD ADDRESS THIS. (THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT IMPROVING THE OTHER ISSUES IN 2018. SHAME- NO QUALITY!~

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 FORD F150 WE COME TO A STOP AND GO TO TAKE OFF . THE TRUCK STALLS OUT ... IT MAY DO THIS TWO TO THREE TIMES ... 2YRS AGO I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM , I TOOK THE TRUCK TO FORD DEALER THEY REPLACE A PART ON THE FUEL AREA ... NO ENGINE LIGHT COMES .. THIS IS THE ONLY YR THAT WAS MADE THAT DOES NOT HAVE A GAS CAP . MAY BE THE PROBLEM BUT I'M NOT THE EXPERT....THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS AND SAFETY ISSUE IN DRIVING MY 2010 FORD F150 STX THE PROBLEM NEED TO BE FIXED .. MY TRUCK IS AT THE FORD DEALER AS WE SPEAK THE STALLING NEED TO BE RESOLVED.... THANKS FOR YOUR TIME ... *TR

I PURCHASED MY FORD F-150 NEW IN AUGUST 2010. I NOTICED IN SEPTEMBER 2013, MY FUEL FILLER DOOR WAS NOT CLOSING, AND AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION I NOTICED AN INNER MECHANISM, THAT ALLOWS THE DOOR TO REMAIN CLOSED, WAS BROKEN AND NO LONGER KEPT THE DOOR CLOSED. THIS PLASTIC DOOR COSTS APPROXIMATELY $75.00 TO REPLACE, SIGNIFICANTLY MORE IF THE DEALER INSTALLS IT. THE FRUSTRATING THING IS MY SON-IN-LAW, AS WELL AS MY BROTHER BOTH OWN LATE MODEL FORD F-150'S, AND BOTH HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD (THROUGH THEIR DEALERSHIPS) HASN'T FELT THE NEED TO MAKE GOOD ON AN OBVIOUS WORKMANSHIP ISSUE, SO THE CONSUMER IS LEFT TO REPLACE THIS DOOR EVERY 3 YEARS OR SO. I SHOULD ALSO NOTE THAT HAVING THE DOOR COMPLETELY SECURE AND CLOSED IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP WATER AND OTHER DEBRIS OUT OF THE FUEL TANK, AS THE FUEL TANK ON THE LATE MODEL F-150'S DOES NOT HAVE A FUEL CAP. WE HAVEN'T HEARD OF ANY RECALLS, OR PLANS FOR ONE, BUT HOPEFULLY YOU'VE HEARD ENOUGH COMPLAINTS THAT SOMETHING CAN BE DONE. THANK YOU. *TR
