What 2,796 owners told NHTSA about the 2013 Ford F-150 Supercab

VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH BOTH DRIVERS SIDE DOOR OPEN. I WAS GETTING SOMETHING OUT OF THE REAR COMPARTMENT WHEN A GUST OF WIND BLEW THE DRIVERS DOOR SUDDENLY CAUSING THE BOTTOM CORNER OF THE DOOR TO STRIKE ME ON THE CALF OF MY LEFT LEG. I WAS VIRTUALLY DISABLED WITH PAIN AND STIFFNESS FOR TWO DAYS AND GRADUALLY IMPROVED WITH REST. THE WHOLE LEFT CALF WAS YELLOWISH PURPLE. I AM BACK TO ABOUT 80% NOW AND HE CALF STILL SHOWS THE BRUISING BUT I HOPE TO MAKE A FULL RECOVERY. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE BUT IT IS THE WORST. THE DOORS ALMOST SEEM LIKE SAILS IN THE WIND, EVEN AS LOW AS ABOUT 15 MPH. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO DAMPING ON DOOR ACTION AS I HAVE SEEN ON SOME OTHER CARS. I CAN IMAGINE IF A CHILD HAD BEEN STANDING WHERE I WAS, INJURY COULD HAVE BEEN INTERNAL OR TO THE HEAD. I HAD INTENDED TO COPY FORD MOTOR COMPANY ON THIS MATTER BUT THEY DO NOT SEEM TO HAVE ANY WAY TO SEND THEM EMAIL, AND I WANTED TO HAVE A COPY OF WHATEVER I SENT.

ON JANUARY 13, 2015 I WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD COLLISION WITH A 18 WHEELER. THE SCENARIO WAS A TWO LANE HIGHWAY (HWY 67, LAKESIDE , CA), THERE IS MINIMAL ROOM FOR ERROR AND UPON IMPACT. I REMEMBER MY BRAKES DEPRESSING COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR BOARD , YET AS THOUGH THERE WAS NO AIR LINES. IT HAS BEEN A LONG RECOVERY, WHICH IS WHY CERTAIN THINGS ARE RETURNING SLOWLY. YET, I REMEMBER THAT MY BRAKES FELT OFF OR UN-RESPONSIVE BEFORE IMPACT.

TOTAL BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE AS I WAS DRIVING ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS. WITHOUT WARNING, WITHIN ONE BLOCK VEHICLE WENT FROM HAVING FULLY FUNCTIONAL BRAKES TO TOTAL BRAKE LOSS. PREVIOUS TO FAILURE, VEHICLE EXHIBITED NO HANDLING ISSUES, SOUNDS, OR SYMPTOMS TO INDICATE THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH WHEN I TOUCHED THE BRAKES. WITHOUT WARNING A LOUD, HIGH PITCHED SOUND STARTED COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE SOUND LASTED ABOUT 5 SECONDS. WHEN THE SOUND ENDED, THE BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION AND WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT RESISTANCE. ALL REGULARLY SCHEDULED AND RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE HAD BEEN PREFORMED. AS A RESULT OF BRAKE FAILURE, VEHICLE SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. AVIS FORD DEALERSHIP PREFORMED THE REPAIRS. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP IF THEY WERE AWARE OF ANY SIMILAR ISSUES HAVING BEEN REPORTED AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE OF SUCH SIMILAR REPORTS.

MY BRAND NEW FORD F150 SVT RAPTOR WAS IN PARK AT MY RESIDENCE AND WHILE I WAS STANDING OUTSIDE MY TRUCK IT STARTED COMING BACKWARDS LIKE SOMEONE PUT IT INTO REVERSE. MY MOTHER WAS IN THE YARD AND SHE IS A WITNESS TO WHAT HAPPENED. I HAD BOTH OF THE DOORS OPEN AND WHILE IT WAS LIKE SOMEONE HAD PUT IT INTO REVERSE WHICH NO ONE WAS IN MY VEHICLE I JUMPED INTO THE TRUCK AND TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKE IT WAS TOO LATE. THE TRUCK WHILE COMING IN REVERSE WHICH THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CAUGHT THE POLE ON OUR CARPORT AND ABOUT RIPPED THE DOOR OFF. I CALLED EVERYONE UNDER THE SUN WITH THE FORD COMPANY AND THEY THOUGHT I WAS TELLING THEM A FIB. I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BECAUSE IT COULD HURT OR CAUSE A DEATH TO SOMEONE..... *TR

AT OR AROUNG 500 MILES ON MY BRAND NEW 2013 FORD F150 SVT RAPTOR A MESSAGE COME UP ON THE 4.2 INCD LCD THAT READ "CHECK FUEL INLET". I WAS AT A GAS STATION PUTTING GAS IN MY TRUCK AND WHILE I WAS PUMPING GAS I CALLED HARBIN FORD AND SPOKE WITH A SERVICE REP. AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAD COME UP ON THE LCD. THE SERVICE REP. TOLD ME TO OPEN THE BACK DOOR AND LOOK UNDER THE BACK SEAT ON DRIVER SIDE AND THERE SHOULD BE A WHITE FUNNEL LOOKING OBJECT ABOUT 6 INCHES LONG. I PULLED UP AT MY HOME AND PARKED MY TRUCK UNDER OUR CARPORT WHICH HAS 2 OPEN WALLS AND ANOTHER TO ENTER THE CARPORT. ON THE NORTH END THE CARPORT IS SUPPORTED BY 3 STEEL POLES WHICH HOLDS THE CARPORT UP WHICH IS ATTACHED TO OUR HOUSE. I PLACED MY TRUCK IN (P) PARK AND LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING, MY MOTHER WAS OUTSIDE ABOUT 10 FEET FROM MY TRUCK. AND I THOUGHT BEFORE I GOT IN MY TRUCK THAT MAYBE I SHOULD TRY THE FUNNEL DEAL MENTIONED EARLIER IN THIS DESCRIPTION. SO I JUST OPENED THE BACK DOOR BECAUSE THE FRONT WAS ALREADY OPEN BECAUSE I LEFT MY TRUCK RUNNING AND IT WAS IN THE (P) POSITION BUT I GOT THE FUNNEL AND OPENED THE FUEL DOOR AND STARTED STICKING THE FUNNEL IN AND OUT REPEATING SEVERAL TIMES. AND ABOUT THE 2ND OR 3RD TIME STICKING THE FUNNEL IN AND OUT OF THE FUEL INLET MY TRUCK ACTED LIKE SOMEONE HAD PLACED MY TRUCK IN REVERSE AND IT STARTED COMING IN REVERSE. MY MOTHER SEEN THIS AND SHE SCREAMED AT ME TO GET OUT OF THE WAY AND I JUST SEEN A OPENING BETWEEN THE DOORS AND I SOMEHOW ENDED UP IN THE DRIVER SEAT AND I HIT THE BRAKE AND TO DISBELIEF I LOOKED AT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND IT WAS ALMOST RIPPED COMPLETELY OFF AND THE DRIVER SIDE FENDER WAS ALSO CRINKLED UP FROM THE DOOR CATCHING ON THE LAST POLE EXITING OUR CARPORT. I LOOKED OVER AT THE AUTO TRANSMISSION AND THE TRUCK WAS STILL IN PARK? *TR
