OR THE DEALER? WE ARE AN OLDER, SENIORS, MINORITY COUPLE JUST TRYING TO BUY OUR FIRST F150 TRUCK. ON DEC. 31ST 2018, BOUGHT A 2016 F150 FORD TRUCK FROM THIS DEALER. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS TRUCK IS COVERED BY A SPECIAL FORD COMP. TAKE BACK THE TRUCK. I HAVE HIS MESSAGE ON MY VOICE MAIL. THEY WILL TRY TO FIX IT FULL WARRANTY BEING A BUY BACK TRUCK,INCLUDING EVEN THE LIGHT BULBS, ON TOP OF THE REGULAR WARRANTY. . SAID THAT VIBRATION CAME FROM THE WHEELS NO, CALLED THEM AGAIN, SENT THEM FEW EMAILS. I TOLD THEM THAT I WILL GO ON A HUNGER STRIKE IN FRONT OF THEIR DEALER. FINALLY, THE OWNER,MATH, CALLED ME TO OR THEY WILL GIVE ME ANOTHER TRUCK. THEY KNEW THAT THE TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ON THE STREETS. IT'S ROAD HAZARD. AND NOT TALKING ABOUT THE SMOKE INSIDE THE CABIN. YOU CAN DIE OF SUFFOCATION. DROVE ANOTHER OUR OR SO TO THEIR DEALER. HAD ERDDYN, THE SELLER GUY TO DRIVE TEST THE TRUCK. AFTER FEW MINUTES OF DRIVE, WE NOTICED THE VIBRATION. HE SAID IS NORMAL. THEN IT STARTED TO VIBRATE EVEN WORST. I ASKED HIM ABOUT THE STRONG SMOKE SMELL. DID NOT SAY ANYTHING. GOT BACK TO THE DEALER, INSPECTED THE TRUCK.THE TRUCK WAS IN GOOD SHAPE. AFTER 2 HOURS OF TALK WITH THE OWNER, THEY OFFER ME GET ME ANOTHER TRUCK. OLDER YEAR MODEL, INFERIOR CLASS.

WHILE DRIVING THE INTERIOR INSTRUMENT LIGHTS SUDDENLY COME ON PARK BRAKE, 4X4, AIR BAG, TRACTION,ABS, ADVANCE TRAC, AND STEERING ASSIST. DURING THIS PROCESS THE BRAKES ENGAGE & THEN YOU CAN HEAR THE SCRUBBING SOUND OF THE BRAKES.THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. I'VE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE 3 TIMES, AFTER A MONTH OF DIAGNOSTIC TESTING & ROAD TESTING THE STEERING SYSTEM FAILED ON THE SERVICEMAN WHILE DRIVING IT. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WANT TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO ME WITHOUT MAKING ANY REPAIRS BECAUSE IT HAS NOT RE INITIATED THIS PROCESS IN THE LAST 3 DAYS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND ANY OTHER VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. FORD HAS INFORMED ME THAT IF THE STEERING GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING CALL ROADSIDE TO BRING IT BACK. TOTAL DISREGARD FOR MY SAFETY AND OR ANYONE ELSE. THIS EVENT OCCURS WHILE DRIVING, IT ALSO SHOWS THESE READINGS UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED UNDER 30,000 MILES AND OVER THAT THRESHOLD. IT HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS.

VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE PEDAL. DEALERSHIPS WILL INITIALLY DENY PROBLEM AND BLMAE THE BRAKES (I.E. DRAGGING CALIPER).

THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH FORD FOR MANY YEARS BASED UPON THE VAST NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON TRUCK FORUMS. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF IWE FAILURES. THE PROBLEM IS SO FREQUENT THAT THE FIRST RECOMMENDATION FROM MOST DEALERSHIPS IS TO REPLACE THE VACUUM SOLENOID OR INLINE CHECK VALVE. IN MY CASE, THE REPLACEMNT PARTS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM

I HAVE A 2016 F150 LARIAT SUPER CAB YOU HAD A RECALL ON THE F150 DOORS AND I HAD THE RECALL DONE IT ONLY COVERS THE DOOR LATCHES BUT THE RECALL DOESN'T COVER THE REAR DOOR LOCKING PINS. WHEN ITS COLD OUTSIDE I OPEN THE REAR HALF DOOR AND CLOSE IT AND THE BOTTOM BOLT DOESN'T COME DOWN AND LOCK THE REAR BOTTOM HALF OF THE DOOR ONLY THE TOP HALF IS SECURED. I HAVE TO HAVE THE HEAT CRANKED ON HIGH TO WARM THE INSIDE OF THE CAB SO THE BOTTOM LOCKING BOLT WILL COME DOWN AND PROPERLY SECURE THE DOOR ON THE BOTTOM. IF THE TOP LOCKING BOLT FAILS THE ONLY THING KEEPING THE DOOR CLOSED IS THE SEAT BELT IM WEARING SINCE IT IS MOUNTED IN THE REAR HALF DOOR AND IS LATCHED ACROSS ME WHY IS THIS LOCKING BOLT NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL ARE YOU WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO FALL OUT OF THE CAR AND GET HURT BEFORE YOU RECALL THIS ALSO.
