2010 Ford F-150

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 72 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY ON ITS OWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, BUT THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO F G EVANS FORD (270 US-431, LIVERMORE, KY 42352, (270) 684-6268), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

FRONT BRAKES, FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. PUT NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS ON IT AND 6 MONTHS LATER DOING THE SAME THING. I KEEP HAVING TO TIGHTEN LUG NUTS BECAUSE OF IT. FORD SERVICE ADVISOR SAYS UNFORTUNATELY YEAR MODELS 2009- 2014 HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ROTORS WARPING AND FORD PARTS OR AFTER MARKET PARTS WILL NOT FIX IT. HE SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM IN 2015 BUT THERE THERE IS NOT A FIX FOR MY YEAR MODEL? I DRIVE THE INTERSTATES A LOT AND I AM AFRAID A WHEEL IS GOING TO COME OFF.

FORD F150 4X4 XLT, DASH BOARD KEEPS GOING OUT. SHOWS SKIDDING, AND TIRE SENSOR FAULTY, DINGGING, A/C GOES HOT, INSIDE LIGHTS DON'T WORK. HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES, SPOKE WITH FORD TOOK IT IN, THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, WHICH WE HAVE FOUND OUT IS A LIE. THEY STATED WE NEEDED A NEW BATTERY, WHICH WE HAD TESTED AS WELL AS THE ALTERNATOR AND NOTHING WRONG THERE EITHER. WE TOOK IT TO ADVANCED AUTO TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD TELL US. A YOUNG MAN SAID THAT FORD HAD PUT OUT A INSIDE NOTICE THAT HIS BUDDY SHOWED HIM OF A FAULTY WIRING HARNESS IN THE DASH. HE ASKED IF HE COULD SHOW US A SHORT TERM FIX...HE SMACKED THE DASH AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. IF WE HIT A BUMP IT WILL DO IT AGAIN, OR ON REALLY HOT DAYS, BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. WE ARE WAITING ON FORD TO RECALL THIS AS IT IS A SERIOUS HAZARD AND MAYBE START FIRES. AS SOMETIMES YOU SMELL ELECTRICAL, THIS HAPPENS DAILY WHEN EVER WE DRIVE THE TRUCK, YOU CAN HAVE A WRECK TRYING TO SMACK IT HARD ENOUGH TO GET IT TO COME BACK ON. THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE SITTING IN THE TRUCK , DRIVING, OR WHEN YOU GO TO START IT UP...YOU WILL HAVE NO GAUGES, LIGHTS A/C OR HEAT IN THE WINTER. YET THE OUTSIDE LIGHTS WILL WORK, YET WHEN YOU PUSH THE BRAKES YOU HEAR A LOUD CLICKING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR APPROX. 2.5 YRS +...FORD NEEDS TO RECALL AND FIX THIS. EVERYDAY WE DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEMS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. WE BROUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW AND IT FIRST DID THIS AROUND 23,000 MILES. NOW AT JUST OVER 50,000 MILES. THERE ARE TIMES THAT SMACKING THE DASH DOES NOTWORK AND WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO COME ON, THOSE TIME YOU HAVE TO RUN WITH TRAFFIC OR IF OTHERS ARE PASSING YOU NEED TO SPEED UP. VERY DANGEROUS

BRAKES DID NOT WORK WITHOUT WARNING AS FORD F150 2010 PULLED FROM THE DRIVEWAY. PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT ANY BRAKE FUNCTION OR WARNING LIGHT. STOPPED THE TRUCK WITH PARKING BRAKE. TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. BRAKES WORKED HOURS BEFORE IN TRAFFIC. THE DEALERSHIP EXCHANGED THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER, IN WHICH THE BRAKE CYLINDER LEAKED FLUID INTO.

REPLACED FACTORY FRONT PADS WITH AUTO PARTS PADS. THEN HAD ROTORS TURNED. BLED ALL FOUR WHEELS BECAUSE OF AIR IN ONE CALIPER. WORKED WELL FOR FEW MONTHS THEN HEARD SQUEALING NOISE. I CHECKED BRAKES AND BOTH WHEELS HAD BEEN WORN OUT SAME SIDES OF PADS BADLY. ONE EDGE OF OUTSIDE OF PADS ON BOTH WHEELS TOTALLY WARN OUT. MY DRIVER SIDE ROTOR DAMAGED AND HAD SOME CRACKS. I TOOK PADS TO AUTO PARTS SALESMAN SAID COMMON ON THOSE 150'S. I LOOKED UP INTERNET IF ANY OTHER OWNER HAD SAME PROBLEMS AND THIS IS A YES. THAT OWNER NEW HOW TO CHECK AND VERIFY PROBLEM AND TOLD HIS DEALER. DEALER FIXED PROBLEM FOR FREE. PROBLEM BAD FRONT CALIPER HOSES, ESPECIALLY PASSENGER SIDE. I TOLD MY DEALER. THEY SAID NO RECALL. THAT DOESN'T MEAN NO PROBLEMS IN MY OPINION. PLEASE CHECK! THANK YOU. I WILL SEND PHOTOS WHEN I REPAIR MY TRUCK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET, THE VEHICLE WAS SUDDENLY UNABLE TO STOP BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH COMPLETE BRAKE LOSS, AND THE BRAKE FLUID WARNING LAMP SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ABLE TO STOP ME AND ALLOW ME TO SAFELY PULL OVER. NO FLUID LEAKAGE WAS DISCOVERED UPON INITIAL LOOK BUT THE RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY. THE SOLUTION INVOLVED LOCATING THE MISSING BRAKE FLUID WHICH HAD LEAKED FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER, RESULTING IN THE BRAKE LOSS. UPON REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER, THE BRAKES ARE OKAY NOW. THIS PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL TO THE SUMMARY IDENTIFIED UNDER INVESTIGATION PE-16-003 (SEE ATTACHED). *TR

BRAKING SYSTEM FAILING, EVER SINCE I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT AFTER PURCHASE FROM DEALERSHIP JUNE 2015, I TOLD THEM SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH BRAKING SYSTEM, THEY SAY OH NO NEW BRAKES. I PUT BRAND NEW BRAKES CALIPERS ROTORS AND PRESSURE HOSES ON MY TRUCK. EVERY 1800 MILES OR LESS BRAKING SYSTEM IS FAILING, EVERY 1800 MILE OR LESS REPLACING PADS AND ROTORS. MY PADS ARE WEARING SO QUICKLY AND EATING THROUGH ROTORS. AS SOON AS I PUT NEW ONES ON THERES BRAKE DUST INSTANTLY AND ALWAYS. SOMETIMES TRUCK IS BRAKING ON ITS OWN WHEN NOT ACCELERATING WHEN I COASTING VEHICLE. I HAVE TRIED TAKING IT TO DEALER THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE HAD IT FOR OVER A YEAR NOW AND IT STILL CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS BRAKING SYSTEM.

I WAS PULLING ONTO AN UNDIVIDED TWO LANE HWY. AND WAS ACCELERATING UP TO SPEED. THE VEHICLE, WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF WARNING, APPLIED THE BRAKES BY ITSELF CAUSING IT TO VEER HARD LEFT AND PULLING THE TRUCK INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR TRACTION CONTROL FLASHED ON AND OFF IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND YOU COULD HEAR THE ABS DEPLOYING. LUCKY THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME OR COMING TOWARDS ME. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND QUITE FRIGHTENING FOR MY FAMILY. WE LIVE IN A RURAL COMMUNITY AND THE DEALERSHIP IS OVER 50 MILES AWAY IN ONE DIRECTION. CONCERNED ABOUT SAFELY BEING ABLE TO GET IT IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS.
