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

WHEN I COME TO A STOP THE BRAKES WILL BE FIRM AND THE GO SOFT AND GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. ALSO WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES I HAVE TO PUMP THEM SO THEY WILL WORK. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I'M EITHER AT A STOP SIGN OR A STOP LIGHT. ITS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I'M COMING TO A STOP. THE WORSE PART IT HAPPENS SEPARATELY AND THE DEALERSHIP THINKS I'M CRAZY.

WHILE THERE IS A RECALL (17V652) FOR CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2015-2017, IT DOES NOT COVER MY JUNE 2017 BUILT VEHICLE. THE DOOR LATCH FREEZES DAILY ON A 4 MONTH OLD VEHICLE ANY DAY WHICH IS BELOW 32 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH LEAVING THE SAFETY OF ANYONE SITTING IN THE REAR SEAT VULNERABLE. IT IS NOT THE LOCK ACTUATOR OR THE RUBBER SEAL, BUT THE ACTUAL DOOR LATCH NOT CATCHING. THE FORD DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS ICE, BUT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. AFTER SITTING THEIR GARAGE FOR TWO HOURS IT FINALLY LATCHED. ONLY ONE DOOR CONSISTENTLY DOES THIS (RIGHT REAR). THE VEHICLE STAYS OUTSIDE AND IS NOT GARAGE KEPT.

MY DRIVERS DOOR DOES NOT "LATCH" WHEN I CLOSE IT. IT APPEARS THIS OCCURS WHEN BELOW FREEZING. I SEE FORUMS ABOUT BEING WET/FREEZING. MINE HAPPENS IN NORMAL COLD/NON WET CONDITIONS AS WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR SERVICE, THEY TOLD ME THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS COME BACK NEXT WEEK, I DID. THEY SAID THERE'S NO FIX AND THEY MIGHT WANT A WATER TEST. AT THIS POINT I HAVE NO INTENTION OF BEING INCONVENIENCED BY THEIR BLUNDERING AND GUESSING. I TOLD THEM TO CALL ME WHEN THEY HAVE A FIX. I SELL MERCEDES-BENZ PRODUCTS SO I EMPATHIZE WITH RECALLS HOWEVER I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED THAT I DRIVE TO WORK HOLDING MY DOOR SHUT. I HAVE READ MANY FRUSTRATING SITUATIONS CONCERNING THIS ON THE FORUMS. IT SEEMS THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2015. IT IS DISTURBING THAT FORD CAN'T COME UP WITH A DEPENDABLE SOLUTION IN ALMOST 3 YEARS. MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST BUT I AM HAVING THE PROBLEM. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING MY 2017 FORD F150 ON DECEMBER 20, 2017. THE DRIVER AIR BAG CURTAIN DEPLOYED AND TRAPPED MY HEAD DOWN AGAINST MY LEFT SHOULDER. THE BAG DID NOT DEFLATE, SO I WAS FORCED TO RETRIEVE MY KNIFE FROM MY BELT AND CUT THE BAG OPEN. THE CONTENTS OF THE BAG QUICKLY FILLED THE CAB WITH WHITE POWDERY SMOKE WHICH I INHALED. I NOW HAVE ROUGH BREATHING WHILE INHALING. I HAVE BEEN TO MY DOCTOR AND WAS PRESCRIBED AZITHROMYCIN 250MG PAK TAB TEVA. THIS WAS A TEMPORARY CURE, BUT THE ROUGH BREATHING IS AGAIN PRESENT. PLEASE PROVIDE THE PROPELLANT NAME IN THESE AIRBAGS, SO I WILL KNOW HOW TO TREAT MY PROBLEM.

I WAS SHOCKED AT THE NUMBER OF F150'S ON THE WEB WITH BRAKE PEDALS SUDDENLY GOING TO THE FLOOR DURING ALL TYPES OF STOPPING SITUATIONS. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO SPAN 2016-17 MODELS REGARDLESS OF ENGINE. IT STARTED YESTERDAY WITH A FREEWAY OFF-RAMP FAILURE AND PUT ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A RELATIVELY SAFE INTERSECTION TODAY... NO BRAKES. I'VE SEEN MASTER CYLINDERS REPLACED TO DEALERS STATING THAT IS THE NORMAL OPERATION. THAT LAST PART IS PRETTY LAME... BRAKE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR? THE BRAKE INITIALLY SEEMS TO WORK AND THEN THE PEDAL SINKS SLOWLY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKING FORCE AT THAT POINT. AT A FULL STOP IN PARK, I CAN REPEAT THE FAILURE. TOUCH THE BRAKE AND IT APPEARS TO BE OK. QUICKLY TOUCH IT AGAIN AND IT IMMEDIATELY SINKS TO THE FLOOR. APPARENTLY KNOWLEDGEABLE DEALER INDICATED THAT THERE MAY BE AN ABS SOLENOID STICKING CYCLING BRAKE FLUID BACK TO THE RESERVOIR INSTEAD OF BEING APPLIED TO BRAKE PRESSURE. THIS SOUNDED MUCH MORE LOGICAL THAN REPLACING THE MASTER CYLINDER UNLESS THE ABS IS INTEGRATED INTO IT IN SOME MANNER.

DURING BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES AFTER HEAVY RAIN THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE IT. AFTER ROUGHLY 45 MINUTES WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING, AND HEAT ON THE DOOR CLOSED PROPERLY. THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN. 1/18/18 AND 1/19/18 WERE THE DATES OF OCCURRENCES.

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE CRUISE SET AT 70 MPH HIT A COUPLE SMALL PATCH SPOTS AND THE THE STEERING WHEEL WENT CRAZY JERKING AROUND LIKE I HAD A BLOWOUT. I MERGED TO THE APRON OF THE INTERSTATE TO SLOW AND STOP. WHEN I WAS ALMOST STOPPED THE JERKING QUIT. I NOTIFIED DEALERSHIP AND TOOK IT TO THEM THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. I STARTED RESEARCH MYSELF AND THE PROBLEM IS KNOWN AS A DEATH WOBBLE. VERY DISAPPOINTING FROM A NEW TRUCK WITH 8000 MILES ON IT. THERE ARE SEVERAL VIDEOS OUT THERE OF THIS PROBLEM. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE ARE KILLED.

NHTSA ODI 11063473

THE TRUCK HAS A RECALL 17S33 INVOLVING DOORS NOT LATCHING DUE TO WATER. MY TRUCK HAS THIS ISSUE AND THE DEALER CANNOT OBTAIN THE PARTS. I'VE CALLED FORD TWICE AND JUST GET REFERRED TO THE DEALER WHO CAN'T HELP ME. AFTER MY TRUCK IS WASHED, THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR FAILS TO LATCH CAUSING THE WARNING SIGNAL TO ACTIVATE AND INTERIOR LIGHTS TO COME ON.

REAR PASSENGER DOOR WINDOW SHATTERED AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. DID NOT SEE OR FIND EVIDENCE OF ANYONE HITTING WINDOW.

THE NEW FORD PICKUPS HAVE THERE FRONT SIGNAL LIGHTS BETWEEN THE TWO HEADLIGHTS. THE TWO HEADLIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON WHETHER ON LOW OR HIGH BEEM MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS GOING.

THE DRIVER DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH. IT TOOK 4 HOURS OF A HEATER IN A GARAGE AND SOME FORCE TO GET DOOR TO LATCH. THE ACTUAL LATCH WOULD WORK, BUT THE NOB IN THE CAR WOULD NOT WORK. THE OUTSIDE HANDLE ALSO WORKED, BUT FELT LIKE IT WAS NOT ENGAGING. I DID HAVE TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED WHOLE I DROVE HOME FROM THE STORE.

DOOR LATCH RECALL ' MY F150 FALLS OUTSIDE THE DOOR LATCH RECALL DATES FORD PROVIDED, HOWEVER, MY TRUCK IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME DEFECT. ANYTIME THE WEATHER FALLS BELOW FREEZING MY DOORS WILL OPEN AND CANNOT BE CLOSED AS THE MECHANISM INSIDE THE DOOR WILL NOT ENGAGE. MY TRUCK CANNOT BE USED IN FREEZING WEATHER. FORD NEEDS TO EXTEND THE RECALL NOTICE BEYOND THEIR INITIAL DATES (PURELY DONE TO LIMIT THEIR LIABILITY!!!!). IT IS DANGEROUS TO OPERATE A VEHICLE WITH DOORS THAT WILL NOT CLOSE!!!

ON LABOR DAY THIS PAST YEAR (9/4/2017) I PURCHASED MY FORD RAPTOR FROM FIVE STAR FORD OF PLANO IN PLANO, TX. I ALSO TRADED IN MY CURRENT 2013 FIAT ABARTH 500. WHEN THE PERFORMANCE SALES MANAGER WAS SHOWING ME HOW TO OPERATE THE INSIDE FUNCTIONS AND SETUP MY FORDPASS APP ON MY IPHONE, I SAW AND SHARED WITH HIM (RICH RUANE) THAT MY TRUCK LOOKS TO HAVE A RECALL (17C12) AND WITH A DATE OF 8/28, WHICH WAS A FEW DAYS PRIOR. HE SHOOK IT OFF, I MYSELF DIDN'T CARE AS IT WAS LEFT REAR SEAT BELT AND I AM ALONE. WHEN I BROUGHT MY TRUCK BACK THE FOLLOWING WEEK ON FRIDAY TO HAVE THE WINDOWS TINTED AND SPRAY-IN BED LINER, THE DEALERSHIP NEVER CALLED ME BACK AND WAS AVOIDING ME. I DROVE THE LOANER BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT NIGHT AND CONFRONTED MR. RUANE AND HE COMES OUT AND SAYS I CAN'T GIVE YOU YOUR TRUCK BACK BECAUSE IT HAS A RECALL AND SHOULDN'T HAVE TECHNICALLY SOLD IT TO YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE NEXT DAY I MADE SEVERAL CALLS, WAS TREATED VERY POORLY BY THE SERVICE MANAGER AS THE SALES MANAGER AVOIDED ME. AFTER THREATENING LEGAL ACTION, I WAS ABLE TO PICK MY TRUCK UP THAT SATURDAY (9/16). FIRST TACTIC AND LYING WAS THE SERVICE MANAGER TELLING ME I NEVER TOOK DELIVERY OF MY VEHICLE, AFTER CORRECTING HIM ON THAT MATTER HE THEN THREATENS TO CANCEL SALE, WHICH I REMINDED HIM THAT HAD EXPIRED AND HE COULDN'T. SINCE THEN, THE DEALERSHIP HAS CONSTANTLY BEEN CALLING AND TEXTING MY CELL PHONE FROM A VARIETY OF NUMBERS EVEN AFTER I TOLD THEM TO CEASE ALL COMMUNICATIONS WITH ME. I DON'T BELIEVE THEY REPORTED THE SALE TO FORD YET AS I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY IN THE MAIL ABOUT THIS RECALL, THOUGH ALL OTHER RAPTOR OWNERS HAVE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN BULLYING, LYING, AND JUST DECEITFUL AND AM FED UP WITH IT. I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY ON THIS MATTER AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. RESPECTFULLY, BRUCE RESPECTFULLY, BRUCE
