WHEN BACKING UP, SENSOR WILL INDICATE RED (IMMINENT IMPACT) AND MAKE LOUD BEEPING TONE WHEN NO OBJECT/OBSTACLE IS PRESENT. FALSE BEEPING MAY LEAD TO DRIVER IGNORING BACKUP SENSORS ALTOGETHER. IF BACKING UP FOR LONG DISTANCES TONE CAN BECOME DISTRACTING TO DRIVER.

2016 FORD F150 V8 ENGINE. DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, MY A/C COMPRESSOR WENT OUT. IT COMPLETELY LOCKED UP CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL AND BECOME DISABLED AND COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. SHORTLY AFTER, I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES (AS A RESULT OF THE ENGINE LOSS) WHICH CREATED A SAFETY ISSUE ON A FREEWAY AT 10:30PM AT NIGHT AS I HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE OVER LANES OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND EASE OF BRAKING AND BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP WITHOUT POWER ASSISTED BRAKES. THANKFULLY, WE WERE ABLE TO GET OVER, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT EVERYONE WOULD BE SO LUCKY. I DON'T THINK AN A/C COMPRESSOR BREAKING INTERNALLY SHOULD DISABLE THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE UNLESS SOMETHING IS FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE COMPRESSOR. I COULD SEE ACCIDENTS OCCURRING AS A RESULT OF THE ENGINE BECOMING DISABLED.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 FORD F150 NORTH ON PAYMENT, THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 35. I HAD RECENTLY TURN MY REAR DEFROSTER ON SO IT WAS ON FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES PRIOR TO THE REAR GLASS SHATTERING. I WAS DRIVING AROUND 35 MPH WHEN I HEARD SOMETHING POP AND A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR OF MY PICKUP AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A GUN SHOT BUT IT TURNS OUT THE REAR GLASS HAD SHATTERED. THE ONLY THING THAT COULD'VE CAUSED IT IS THE REAR DEFROSTER. REPLACEMENT OF THE REAR WINDOW AND INSTALLATION WILL COST $623.22.

VEHICLE LANE ASSIST DOES NOT WORK ANY LONGER. WHEN STATIONARY AT START UP THE ICON APPEARS BUT WHEN YOU REACH THE PROPER OPERATING SPEED FOR THE FEATURE TO ASSIST YOU DRIVING IT DOES NOT WORK AND WILL NOT TURN ON.

LUCKILY I WAS NOT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT HAVING WORKED FOR FORD THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND HAS NOW HAPPENED TO BOTH OF MY FORD TRUCKS. FORD MAKES LUG NUTS WITH ALUMINUM CASINGS THAT AFTER 1-5 USES BECOME SWOLLEN AND MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE LUG NUTS FROM VEHICLE ESPECIALLY IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHICH COULD RESULT IN SOMEONE TAKING MORE TIME THAN NEEDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD STRUGGLING TO BREAK SAID LUG NUTS LOOSE AND WILL RESULT IN SOMEONE BEING STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE.. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR 10 + YEARS. I HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS REPLACING THESE LUG NUTS. MULTIPLE OF WHICH HAD TO BE CUT OFF BY MECHANICS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING!!

WINDSHIELD WASHERS FREEZE UP AND BECOME INOPERABLE WHEN TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW 32F EVEN WHEN USING RAIN-X. EVEN IF THEY THAW OUT FROM ENGINE WARM UP THEY CAN REFREEZE WITHIN A FEW MILES OF DRIVING WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 32F. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN THE WINDSHIELD WASHERS FAIL DURING PERIODS OF SNOW AND ROAD SLUSH IF BELOW FREEZING BECAUSE THE WINDSHIELD CAN NOT BE CLEANED.

WHILE ENTERING FREEWAY, I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN SUNROOF (PANORAMIC DUAL PANEL) AND HEAR A LOUD BANG FOLLOWED BY TERRIBLE GRINDING AND CRACKING NOISES. AS THE GLASS PANEL RETRACTED, A PIECE OF PLASTIC FROM THE TRACKS SHOT OUT AND STRUCK ME IN THE HEAD WHILE DRIVING. AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY I TRIED TO CLOSE THE SUNROOF. IT WOULD CLOSE ABOUT 80%, STOP, THEN FULLY RETRACT. DUE TO RAIN, I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO DEALER TO GET THE ROOF LOOKED AT. FORD DEALER WAS ABLE TO GET THE SUNROOF TO THE VENT POSITION AND DIAGNOSED BROKEN TRACKS.

REMOTE START WAS ACTIVATED WITH MY TRUCK BACKED INTO MY DRIVEWAY UP TO MY GARAGE. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES I CAME OUT TO MY TRUCK AND OBSERVED THE REAR WINDSHIELD TO BE SHATTERED AND GLASS ALL OVER MY CHILD'S CAR SEAT. AFTER CLOSER INSPECTION, THE AREA AROUND WHERE THE DEFROST WIRE CONNECTS TO GLASS HAD A OBVIOUS BURN PATTERN AND GLASS WAS SPIDER WEBBED OUT FROM THAT LOCATION. FORD WOULD NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR FAILED PARTS AND WOULD NOT REPAIR.

I HAVE LITTLE TO NO BRAKES FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES THEY WORK FINE. I BELIEVE IT'S A VACUUM BOOSTER PUMP PROBLEM ON THE FORD 3.5 ECOBOOST MOTOR. 3 DEALERSHIPS FAILED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER IT'S A COMMON OCCURRENCE TO ME. PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY INTO TRAFFIC IS A REAL DANGER TO ME AND MY FAMILY.

OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS, MY TRUCK WOULD LOOSE POWER AND GO INTO LIMP MODE RANDOMLY. I WOULD PULL OVER, TURN THE TRUCK OFF, AND BACK ON. IT WOULD BE OKAY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN OCCUR AGAIN. THIS WOULD HAPPEN IN TOWN AND TWICE WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. I TOOK IT IN TODAY AND HAD THE CODE READ: P2112 THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM - STUCK CLOSED

AFTER PULLING OVER I NOTICED THAT MY REAR WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. IT'S A REAR SLIDING WINDOW WITH A POWER WINDOW. BLACK BOX FOR POWER THAT STICK TO THE WINDOW WAS POPPED OFF AND SMELLED LIKE BURNT.

THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE LOCKS FREEZING. I SPOKE WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE THIS MORNING. I HAVE HAD JUST BY DRIVES DOOR REPLACED (THAT IS WERE THE DEALERSHIP STARTS). CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED THAT IS ONLY FIXES THE FRONT DOORS OF MY FOUR DOOR TRUCK. THE TAILGATE OF THE TRUCK ALSO LOCKS AND HAD FROZEN LOCKED. ALL THE DOORS ON MY TRUCK AND THE TAILGATE HAVE FROZEN LOCKED BEFORE. WHEN ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE TAILGATE. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A FIX BUT IT WILL COST YOU $208. PLUS THEY ARE WORKING ON GETTING ME A PRICE FOR MY REAR DOORS FIXED. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM AND RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED TO ONLY FIX PART OF THE ISSUES. I HAVE VIDEOS OF MY TRYING TO GET INTO MY TRUCK TAILGATE WHILE HITTING THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON MY KEY FOB.

I WAS COMPLETING A 3 HOUR DRIVE OF APPROXIMATELY 120 MILES (I HAD LESS THAN 5 MILES TO GO TILL I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION) WHEN MY SENSORS STARTED LIGHTING UP MY MESSAGE BOARD AND DASH SYSTEM. I WAS IN THE LEFT TURN LANE TO ENTER THE ON-RAMP TO US65 SOUTH WHEN THIS HAPPENED SO I PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER TO INVESTIGATE. I HAD JUST PUT MY TRUCK IN PARK WHEN A CAR PULLED UP AND SAID THAT MY ENGINE WAS ON FIRE. WHEN I GOT OUT TO LOOK, THE FIRE WAS ROLLING OUT FROM UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL WELL. AS WELL, THERE WAS EITHER A FLUID OR MELTED PLASTIC DRIPPING DOWN TO THE ASPHALT THAT WAS ALSO ON FIRE. THE FIRE APPEARED TO PUT ITSELF OUT, FOR THE MOST PART, PRIOR TO THE FIRE COMPANY ARRIVING WITHIN THE NEXT 10 MINUTES. I HAD, WHAT I BELIEVED TO BE AT THE TIME, RECALL WORK DONE BY MIKE RAISOR FORD IN LAFAYETTE, IN, LESS THAN 1 YEAR AGO. IN THAT RECALL WORK, I THOUGHT THE BLOCK HEATER WAS DISCONNECTED SO AS TO PREVENT AN ENGINE FIRE SUCH AS THIS. NOW, I AM HAVING DOUBTS AS TO WHETHER THIS WAS COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS 18V894000 AND FORDS RECALL NUMBER IS 18S45.

THE TRUCK BEGAN TO MAKE A LOUD, CLUNKY NOISE, ALLTHEWHILE IT WAS SLOWING DOWN AND THEN EVENTUALLY CAME TO A STOP AND WAS NOT DRIVEABLE ANYMORE. WE WERE DRIVING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN IT STALLED. IT WOULD NOT MOVE. IT WOULD TURN ON, BUT IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT STILL MADE THE CLUNKY, LOUD NOISE.
