What 1,066 owners told NHTSA about the 2017 Ford F-150 Supercab

VEHICLE MAKES VIBRATION STYLE NOISE FROM THE REAR RIGHT SIDE DURING SPEEDS OF 40-50 MPH WITH MINIMAL ACCELERATION AND/OR DURING LOW RPMS. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP SERVICE SHOPS ON 4 OCCASIONS DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD WHO ALL CLAIMED IT WAS A NORMAL SOUND. RESEARCHING ONLINE DURING THAT TIME WAS POINTING TO POTENTIAL MISALIGNMENT IN THE REAR-DIFFERENTIAL DURING MANUFACTURING. CONDITION CAN BE REPLICATED DURING DRIVING CONDITIONS, BETWEEN SPEEDS OF 40-50MPH, LIGHT APPLICATION OF GAS PEDAL AND DURING LOW RPMS. CONDITION EXISTED FROM TIME OF PURCHASE THROUGH PRESENT DAY.

THE REAR WINDOW IN MY FORD F-150 CRACKED. THERE WERE NO PREVIOUS COMPROMISED AREAS AND IT WAS UNTOUCHED WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN MY GARAGE. I HAD USED THE AUTO START TO WARM UP THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNING. IT RAN FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES. I PREPARED TO LEAVE FOR WORK AND NOTICED THE LARGE CRACK AND CHUNK MISSING IN THE REAR WINDOW.

DOING APPROXIMATELY 45MPH, IN FREEZING TEMPS AND LIGHT SNOW, APPROACHED A YELLOW LIGHT. HAD PLENTY OF DISTANCE TO STOP AND BEGAN TO APPLY BRAKES. TRUCK BEGAN TO SLOW, BUT SUDDENLY FELT LIKE THE BRAKES LET GO OR MAYBE HIT A PATCH OF ICE. LET OFF AND DEPRESSED THE PEDAL AGAIN. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I BEGAN PUMPING THEM WHICH WAS SLOWING THE VEHICLE, BUT I ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, NARROWLY AVOIDING A SIDE IMPACT WITH A SEMI AND LOOKING LIKE A MORON. MY ENTIRE FAMILY WAS IN THE TRUCK AND THIS WAS VERY CLOSE TO A DISASTER. AFTERWARDS THE BRAKES WERE SOFT AND CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME. WHEN THE PEDAL WAS HELD DOWN IT WOULD SLOWLY GO TO THE FLOOR, FEELING LIKE ALL HYDRAULIC PRESSURE WAS BLEEDING OFF. THE INITIAL OCCURRENCE HAPPENED ON A CITY ROAD IN MOTION. OF COURSE THE TRUCK WARRANTY ENDED ABOUT 500 MILES PRIOR. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN BABIED, ONLY USED FOR WEEKENDS. BEING TOLD BY DEALER THAT A SEAL FAILED IN THE MASTER CYLINDER AND POSSIBLY A HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. ESTIMATE TO REPAIR IS OVER $2500 TO REPAIR A VERY NEW VEHICLE THAT COSTS OVER $50,000.

AFTER WARMING UP THE TRUCK, THE DOOR OPENED FINE BUT WOULD NOT LATCH CLOSED FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MORE MINUTES FOR A TOTAL OF 30 MINUTES OF THE TRUCK RUNNING. 27 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND DRY. I DID NOT TRY TO DRIVE THE TRUCK UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET THE DOOR LATCHED. I CONTACTED FORD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE DURING THAT TIME BUT WAS ABLE TO GET THE DOOR LATCHED WITHOUT NEEDING ANYONE SENT OUT.

THE WEATHER WAS SLIGHTLY BELOW FREEZING AND MY TRUCK WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVE. I USED THE REMOTE START FUNCTION ON MY KEY FOB TO ALLOW THE TRUCK TO WARM UP BEFORE I GOT IN. AFTER A FEW MINUTES I GOT IN THE TRUCK. WHILE THE TRUCK WAS PARKED AND UPON CLOSING THE DOOR I HEARD GLASS SHATTER BEHIND ME. WHEN I LOOKED THE ENTIRE PLATE OF BACK GLASS ON THE TRUCK HAD, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD, EXPLODED. TOP TO BOTTOM AND SIDE TO SIDE THE GLASS HAD COMPLETELY BROKEN. THERE WAS GLASS BOTH INSIDE MY TRUCK AND IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK.

THIS PAST WEEK, WE HAD A COUPLE DAYS OF 30 DEG WEATHER IN THE CHICAGO AREA IN THE MORNING AND I STARTED EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH MY DRIVERS DOOR. IT WOULD NOT RE-LATCH WHEN I CLOSED THE DOOR. EVERY TIME I CLOSED THE DOOR I HEARD THE INFAMOUS "THUD" AND IT BOUNCED BACK OPEN. THIS HAPPENED OVER AND OVER. I HAD TO DRIVE 12 MILES, WHILE HOLDING MY DOOR CLOSED SO I CAN GET TO WORK. EVENTUALLY IT STARTS WORKING FINE AS THE WEATHER WARMS UP. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A ALREADY A RECALL AND A SETTLEMENT ON THIS MATTER FOR THE EXACT YEAR OF MY F 150, HOWEVER MY F-150 VIN'S IS NOT APART OF THAT. I'VE CONTACTED FORD AND ALL I GOT WAS THERE'S NOTHING THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO DO SINCE MY VIN IS NOT APART OF THE RECALL. SO IN ORDER TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE SAFELY, I NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THIS JUST PROVES THERE'S STILL ISSUES WITH THE DOOR LATCH SYSTEM AND IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

DOOR LATCHES FREEZING AND DOORS WILL NOT REMAINED CLOSED POSING A SAFETY RISK. TAILGATE ALSO OPENS ON IT'S OWN.

I USED REMOTE START ON THE TRUCK. THIS ACTIVATES THE DEFROST. IT WAS IN THE GARAGE WITH DOOR DOWN ON THAT SIDE (ANOTHER DOOR WAS OPEN). I WENT OUT AND THE REAR WINDSHIELD WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL IN THE TRUCK WHEN I ENTERED. THIS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN DUE TO SOMETHING HITTING IT AS IT WAS ENCLOSED WITHIN THE GARAGE. .

I LIVE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND THE WEATHER IS COLD. I STARTED MY FORD F150 TRUCK TODAY USING MY FORD PASS. THE TRUCK RAN FOR 15 MINUTES. WHEN I PREPARED TO LEAVE IN THE TRUCK I NOTICED THAT IT WAS COLD INSIDE. WHEN I LOOKED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, I REALIZED THE REAR SLIDING WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION I REALIZED THE WINDOW BLEW OUTWARD AND A YELLOW LINE X STICKER ON THE RIGHT REAR OF THE WINDOW HAD BURN MARKS ON IT. THE STICKER WAS DISCOLORED TO INDICATE THAT A LOT OF HEAT WAS DIRECTED TOWARD IT. THE WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED AROUND THE OUTSIDE EDGE. ALSO, I LOCATED A COVER THAT HAD BLOWN OFF THE WIRES THAT RUN TO THE REAR DEFROSTER. IT APPEARS THAT THE REAR DEFROSTER RAN TO THE POINT THAT IT OVERHEATED THE GLASS AND CAUSED IT TO BLOW. I DISCOVERED THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED IN THE PAST WITH FORD F150 TRUCKS AND NTSA HAS RECEIVED COMPLAINTS. I CONTACTED FORD TODAY AND I AM WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM CUSTOMER SERVICE

THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHUT DOWN AFTER GAS FILL UP. IT SEEMS LIKE THE VEHICLE HAS A VALVE SELENOID PROBLEM BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT ONLINE. IT IS A HAZARD BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE ALSO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ELECTRIC USB AND POWER PLUG TWICE. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALOT OF ELECTRIC/GAS RELATED ISSUES WHICH CAUSE IT TO TURN OFF.

I WAS BACKING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND STEPPED ON THE BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR - NO BRAKES. I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO TRY PUMPING THE BRAKES OR STEPPING ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE VEHICLE IMPACTED THE GARAGE DOOR DAMAGING IT TO THE POINT THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE REPLACEMENT COST IS $1,833.33. THE VEHICLE IMPACT POINTS WERE THE PLASTIC PARTS OF THE TAILGATE, BUMPER AND TRAILER HITCH. THERE WAS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES WORKED FINE AGAIN AFTER THE INCIDENT. I HAD SKYLINE FORD CHECK THE BRAKES AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY TROUBLE CODES OR PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES DURING A TEST DRIVE. I NOW DON'T TRUST THE BRAKES AND AM CONCERNED THAT IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN WITH MORE SEVERE CONSEQUENCES.
