This truck was driven daily and has been owned since new. No aftermarket accessories, all stock. The truck was parked in my warehouse over the weekend. When I returned on Monday morning I found the dashboard burned and melted, airbag deployed, and headliner scorched. I believe the airbag extinguished the fire and kept it from spreading outside the truck and possibly destroying my business. The truck has not been inspected by anyone other than mechanics working on quotes to repair it. The truck is still at my business and available for your inspection. There were no warnings of any kind.

THE TRUCK REMAINED OPERATIONAL OTHERWISE BUT THE STEERING REMAINED LOCKED. A WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED SAYING "POWER STEERING FAILURE". HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE RESEARCH THE HUNDREDS, IF NOT MORE, COMPLAINTS AND SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE F-150 STEERING AND THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD AS THIS WILL, IF NOT, CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY HARM. THIS IS THE LAST FORD I WILL EVER OWN, PERIOD. THEY DO NOT STAND BY THEIR INEPT ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS AND CUSTOMERS ARE PAYING THE PRICE.

MY TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED FROM 5TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR IN NOV 2018. THE TRANSMISSION THEN WOULD NO LONGER SHIFT DUE TO THE DAMAGE IT CAUSED. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT BY FORD. SOON AFTER THE REPAIRS FORD RELEASED A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AND THEY PERFORMED THE RECALL SERVICE. I ASKED ABOUT REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE PRIOR REPAIRS AND WAS TOLD YES IT WOULD BE COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS CAUSED BY THE RECALL. THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO RANDOMLY SHIFT TO NEUTRAL OR SKIP GEARS. I TOOK IT BACK IN. THEY SAID IT WAS CAUSED BY THE REAR MAIN SEAL, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SHIFTING. THE TRANSMISSION HAS NEVER LEAKED. THE ISSUES CONTINUED ON UNTIL ON FEBRUARY 27TH THE TRANSMISSION DROPPED TO 1ST GEAR ON THE HIGHWAY (65 MPH) NEARLY CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND THROWING ME AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL.
