DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AND REAR DOORS DO NOT CLOSE IN COLD WEATHER. DOOR LATCHES HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH "NEW VERSION" THAT WAS DESIGNED AFTER A PREVIOUS RECALL. THE NEW LATCHES DO NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE STILL REMAINS AS DOORS WILL COME OPEN WHILE DRIVING.

LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING: WHEN DRIVING AROUND A CURVE I EXPERIENCE A MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL ACTUALLY MOVE TO THE LEFT WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING ME TO OVERCORRECT TO THE RIGHT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE PROPER LANE AND DIRECTION. THE ISSUE IS MORE PRONOUNCED GOING DOWN OR UP HILL AROUND A CURVE. IT ALSO HAPPENS ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT. THE 2017 TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 8K MILES AND HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER TWICE TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. IT IS ALSO MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN TOWING A TRAILER WHICH CAUSES SERIOUS CONCERN FOR OUR SAFETY. THE LOSS OF CONTROL HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 45MPH ON HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET. THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.

I BOUGHT 2017 F-150 PLATINUM FROM LEVITTOWN FORD I OWN IT LESS THAN 1 YEAR AND HAVE NOW 15,000 MILES ON IT. MY PROBLEM FIRST STARTED AROUND MAY OF 2018 IT WAS RANDOM HAPPENING OFF AND ON I WAS GETTING A GRINDING NOISE WHEN I STARTED THE TRUCK ONLY WHEN I STARED IN USUALLY FIRST THING IN THE MORNING OR IF IT SAT FOR MORE THAN 6 OR MORE HOURS. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE AS THE SUMMER PROGRESSED I MADE MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH STEVENS FORD ON 07/10/2018 AFTER BEING TOLD THEY HAD A BACK LOG OF SEVERAL WEEKS AND THIS WAS THE EARLIEST APPOINTMENT I COULD GET. WELL I PICKED UP THE CAR AT NIGHT AND THE CLAIM THEY DID NOT HEAR THE NOISE YET ON THE RECEIPT IT SAYS DUE SHOP OVER LOAD. SO I MADE A APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THE EARLIEST DATE I COULD GET WAS 07/25/2018 AND THEY WERE FINALLY ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BEING THE TIMING CHAIN AND CAMS AS PER ATTACHED PAPER WORK. I WAS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR ALMOST ONE MONTH AND NOW AFTER PICKING IT UP I STILL FEEL A SLIPPAGE IN THE ENGINE AS I DRIVE IT. NOW AFTER DOING EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THE 3.5 6 CYLINDER ECO BOOST ENGINE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM DATING BACK TO 2004 AND HAVE REALLY NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. IT USUALLY EFFECTS THE ENGINE AFTER THE 60,000 WARRANTY EXPIRES AND I HAVE RARELY SEEN THIS OCCUR IN A TRUCK AS NEW AS MINE. I AM FIGHTING WITH FORD ON ALL AVENUES TO GET MY TRUCK BOUGHT BACK BY THEM BECAUSE I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THIS PRODUCT.

WE ARE EXPERIENCING SEPARATE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES WITH OUR F-150: 1. THE CAPLESS GAS TANK SYSTEM CAUSES THE GAS SHUTOFF WHEN REFILLING TO NOT STOP AT 'FULL'. THIS CAUSES GAS TO SPRAY IN AN ARC FOR 3-4 SECONDS - COVERING BOTH PEOPLE AND THE GROUND WITH APPROX 16-24 OZ OF GAS. 2. THE FRONT DOORS, WHEN SUBJECTED TO FREEZING TEMPERATURES WILL OPEN BUT WILL NOT RECLOSE UNTIL THE LATCH MECHANISM IS C OMPLTWTELY DEFROSTED - APPROX 15 MINUTES. THIS MEANS THAT DURING THAT TIME THE DOORS ARE UNABLE TO BE CLOSED AT ALL. ADDITIONALLY, THE REAR VIEW CAMERA/DRIVER INFORMATION SCREEN IS 'SHORTING OUT', CAUSING THE CAMERA TO BE 'STUCK ON' OR THE INABILITY TO TOGGLE TO NAVIGATION OR FEATURES BEYOND THE MAIN SCREEN UNTIL A MINIMUM SPEED (APPROX 15-20 MPH) IS REACHED.

. LAST SUNDAY I GOT A 2017 F150 XLT STUCK IN A SMALL TWO FOOT SNOW DRIFT. ONCE I GOT STUCK I TRIED ROCKING THE TRUCK, BUT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM FORWARD TO REAR WARD WITHOUT THE TRUCK COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS I GOT A FAULT WARNING FOR THE LIMITED SLIP DIFF. THE WARNING FOR THE POWER STEERING, THE ABS, THE PARKING BRAKE, THE HILL DESCENT, HILL START ASSIST, PARK ASSIST WARNING (WHICH I DO NOT HAVE), ADVANCED TRACK WARNING (WHICH I DO NOT HAVE) AND 4X4 LOW. ADDITIONALLY THE TRUCK WOULD SHIFT IN AND OUT OF 4 HIGH, BUT NOT 4 LOW. IN 4 HIGH NO TIRES WOULD MOVE. IN TWO HIGH ONLY THE LEFT REAR TIRE WOULD SPIN. BECAUSE OF DARKNESS AND GRIZZLY BEAR I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL MORNING TO WALK OUT FAR ENOUGH TO GET CELL RECEPTION. THE TEMP NEVER GOT BELOW 34 DEGREES, BUT IT DID RAIN AND SNOW ALL NIGHT. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK PULLED ME OUT OF THE DRIFT (A TOTAL OF 10 FEET) EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE POWER STEERING WORKED. IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE 3 RD DAY WHEN THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STARTED TO WORK. THE DEALER WILL NOT SEE ME UNTIL NEXT WEEK AND I AM AFRAID I WILL LOOSE ALL THE FAULT CODES BY THEN. ITS GREAT TO HAVE A 4X4 THAT ONLY WORKS ON DRY GROUND. HAD THIS HAPPENED IN THE WINTER OR FURTHER AWAY FROM CELL PHONE COVERAGE IT COULD HAVE PROVEN TO BE A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION

I OWN A 2017 FORD F150 4X4 WITH THE 3.5 ECOBOOST ENGINE AND THE 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION. A FEW DAYS AFTER WE BROUGHT THE TRUCK HOME, WE NOTICED A VERY LOUD CLUNK THAT WOULD HAPPEN WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED. WE HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND ALL HAVE SAID THAT THE CLUNK IS NORMAL AND THAT ITS JUST THE TRANSMISSION "LOADING UP". THIS SAME CLUNK IS ALSO HAPPENING ON 2018 F150S AS WELL, WITH THE 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION AND THE 10 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO AFFECT THE LONG TERM SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE, SINCE METAL STRIKING METAL IS NEVER A GOOD THING WHEN IT COMES TO AUTOMOBILES. HERE IS A LINK TO THE FORD F150 FORUMS WHERE MULTIPLE OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME ISSUE ON 2017 AND 2018 F150'S: HTTPS://WWW.F150FORUM.COM/F118/SINGLE-CLUNK-WHEN-STARTING-ENGINE-383628/INDEX7/ HERE ARE SOME VIDEO LINKS I POSTED ON YOUTUBE, THE FIRST IS OF A 2018 F150 4X4 I RENTED WHILE ON VACATION MAY 2018, V8 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION. THE SECOND VIDEO IS OF MY TRUCK MAKING THE SAME CLUNK, WHICH CAN BE HEARD FROM A DISTANCE (YOU MIGHT NEED TO TURN UP THE SOUND ON THIS ONE). THE 3RD VIDEO IS MY TRUCK AS WELL, NOTE HOW THE DRIVESHAFT MOVES ON ENGINE START. THE 4TH IS MY TRUCK PARKED ON AN INCLINE RESTING ON THE TRANSMISSION. NOTE THAT THE DRIVESHAFT DOESN'T MOVE, BUT THE CLUNK CAN STILL BE HEARD. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/UYIIA29XT68 HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/5FGKIOLHCEU HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/PECOO6ABV3A HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/O8U0SDNAGS0

REAR WINDOW POPED OR SHATTERED FOR NO REASON. THERE WAS NOTHING BEHIND ME THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED AND IMPACT AS I WAS IN A BOAT RAMP WITH ONLY THE OCEAN BEHIND ME. WHEN I OPENED MY DOOR TO GET OUT I HEARD A LOUD POP NOISE. I LOOKED AROUND AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. I GOT MY BOAT OUT AND WHEN I STARTED LOADING THE TRUCK UP I NOTICED THE REAR WINDOW GLASS WAS BROKEN.

BRAKE PEDAL MUST BE PRESSED AT LEAST 1 1/2 TO 2 INCHES FOR BRAKING TO BEGIN. AT THIS POINT THE BRAKES ARE NOT FIRM. ALSO, WHILE ON A DOWNWARD GRADE OR HILL THE BRAKES INITIALLY BRAKE, BUT SLOWLY LOSE PRESSURE AND HAVE TO BE PUMPED TO RETAIN BRAKING. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS COMMON TO ALL LARIAT TRUCKS AND THEY CANNOT REPAIR. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A DEFECT THAT FORD SHOULD ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY.
