I OWN A 2017 F150 5.0 LITER V8 WITH 10,700 MILES PURCHASED NEW THIS YEAR.THE BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED WHILE DRIVING. THE BRAKE PEDAL LOST THE RESISTANCE AND DEPRESSED ALL IF THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, FAILING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD RETURN BACK TO THE NORMAL POSITION WHEN RELEASED. THIS HAPPENED INTERMITTANTLY ON SECONDARY ROADS FOR ABOUT 25 MILES BEFORE FAILING CONSISTENTLY. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD THEN DEPRESS COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR BOARD UNTIL RELEASED. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ALARMS ACTIVATED. THE BRAKES WOULD FUNCTION PARTIALLY AND ABNORMALLY BUT REQUIRED THE DRIVER TO 'PUMP' THE BRAKE PEDAL TO MAINTAIN PROPER PEDAL RESISTANCE AND WOULD BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. IT WAS TAKED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASD AND THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS SAID TO BE LEAKING AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRENTY REPAIR.

WITH THE VEHICLE IN PARK, WITH THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE RESTING ON THE TRANSMISSION'S PARKING PAWL, OR RESTING ON THE PARKING BRAKE, WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED, THERE IS AN INTERMITTENT CLUNK THAT CAN BE HEARD. IT CAN VARY FROM NO CLUNK TO A VERY LOUD CLUNK THAT CAN BE HEARD FROM 40FT OR MORE. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN VEHICLE IS HOT, COLD, DRIVEN SHORT DISTANCES OR LONG DISTANCES, ON AN INCLINE OR NOT. THE 3 DEALERSHIPS HAVE REPRODUCED THE ISSUE, BUT HAVE CALLED IT NORMAL OR A CHARACTERISTIC. ONE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DIRECTOR SAYS HIS DEMO VEHICLES MAKE THE SAME NOISE AND THAT ADDING BIGGER TIRES AND A LIFT KIT MADE IT WORSE. HE ALSO SAID AND I QUOTE "BECAUSE ITS NOT ABNORMAL, THERE IS NO FIX". HE STATED THAT FORD TECHLINE SAYS ITS NORMAL AS WELL.

4500 MILES ON VEHICLE, NEVER TOWED ANYTHING, ONLY NORMAL CITY/HIGHWAY DRIVING, NO LONG TRIPS EVER TAKEN. WAS TURNING LEFT AT INTERSECTION AND TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO SLIP, TRUCK STILL MADE IT THROUGH, I THEN NOTICED THAT A YELLOW "WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON, I ASSUMED THIS WAS FOR MY UPCOMING 5K MILE OIL CHANGE. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF THE "SLIP" AND ASSUMED IT WAS AN ANOMALY. I THEN GOT ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED THE TRUCK WAS BEHAVING STRANGELY, POWER WAS INCONSISTENT, I ATTEMPTED TO PUT IT INTO CRUISE CONTROL AND IT REFUSED TO ACTIVATE. I GOT OFF OF HIGHWAY AND TURNED LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION, STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE TRUCK LURCHED FORWARD AND THEN SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND STALLED OUT IN THE INTERSECTION. IF A CAR WAS COMING I WOULD HAVE EASILY BEEN STRUCK. I LET IT SIT FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY GOT INTO, AND STAYED IN, FIRST GEAR. AT FIRST IT WENT INTO GEAR AND THEN SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR. THIS "WRENCH" LIGHT WAS APPARENTLY A LIMP HOME MODE, ANOTHER COMPLAINT, BESIDES THE STALLING, WOULD BE THE FACT THAT THIS LITTLE YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT DOES NOTHING TO WARN ME THAT THE TRUCK IS ACTUALLY IN AN IMPAIRED STATE, A "LIMP" MODE. I WORK IN THE AEROSPACE INDUSTRY AND THIS WOULD NEVER BE TOLERATED, A FUNCTION THAT HAMPERS THE NORMAL PERFORMANCE OF YOUR VEHICLE SHOULD BE EASY TO RECOGNIZE AS A WARNING, A LITTLE YELLOW WRENCH LOOKS LIKE A SERVICE LIGHT.

MY VEHICLE IS A 2017 F150 LARIET PICKUP TRUCK, THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPT WITH AN ELECTRONIC TAILGATE RELEASE. THE TAIL GATE HAS OPENED ON ME ON AT LEAST A DOZEN OCCASIONS.WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER WITH NO SATIFACTION THE DEALERSHIP HAD NO ANWER HOW TO CORRECT THIS AND THAT THERE WHERE OTHER COMPLAINTS AND THAT THERE WAS AN INDICATOR LIGHT ON PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS AND IT IS STATED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL AND. THERE IS NO WHY TO DISABLE THE TAILGATE LOCK AND THERE IS NO INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD THAT THE GATE IS OPEN. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND UNNERVING PROBLEM THAT THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY NEEDS TO BE MANDATED TO CORRECT. BEFORE AN UNSUSPECTING DRIVER IS HURT OR KILLED FROM CARGO FLYING OUT OF THE BED OF THIS VEHICLE. THERE IS AGAIN NO WAY TO LOCK THE TAILGATE...

I GOT IN MY TRUCK AND STARTED DRIVING. AS I APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION I STARTED TO BRAKE. THE BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THE TRUCK DID NOT BRAKE. I ENDED UP PAST THE STOP SIGN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK SLOWLY TO MY HOUSE. I ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN WHERE THE TRUCK DID NOT BRAKE.

THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THE TRUCK ROLLED TO A STOP. MEANWHILE, SEVERAL WARNING MESSAGES FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND SMOKE BEGAN POURING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I GOT OUT AND LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND SPARKS WERE PROFUSELY FLYING. I WALKED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE IGNITED WITHIN 5 SECONDS. THE ENTIRE INCIDENT OCCURRED WITHIN 10-15 SECONDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED.

I WAS COMING UP TO A STOP LIGHT AND APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT STOPING. I RELEASED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PUSHED IT AGAIN. THIS TIME THE VEHICLE STOPPED. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID AND IT WAS FULL.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW F-150, AND STILL AM NOT ABLE TO GET THE KEYS TO IT BECAUSE OF A RECALL. THERE IS NO DATE AS TO WHEN THIS RECALL WILL BE FIXED, AND I AM VERY DISPLEASED WITH THE LACK OF INFORMATION I AM GETTING ON WHEN I WILL GET THE KEYS TO A VEHICLE I AM SPENDING $65,000 ON. I WANT TO KNOW WHEN THIS RECALL PART WILL BE FIXED SO I CAN TAKE OWNERSHIP OF MY VEHICLE.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS MALFUNCTION DUE TO THE STEEL KEY STOP FALLING OUT OF THE KEYWAY CAUSING THE WIPERS TO BOUNCE AND LOOSE CONTACT WITH THE WINDSHIELD IMPENDING VISIBILITY DURING HEAVY AND LIGHT RAIN THIS HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY A FORD DEALER WHO INFORMED ME AT PRESENT FORD INDICATES THAT THIS CONDITION IS UNREPAIRABLE .THE PRESENT DESIGN WHERE THE KEY IS INSERTED INTO THE WIPER ARM AND NOT THE KNURLED KNOB OF THE WIPER ARM TRANSMISSION HAS AN INHERENT FLAW DO TO THE FACT THAT THE KEY CAN FALL OUT DUE TO VIBERATION AND GRAVITY. WHEN WIPERS ARE OPERATING , THIS COULD RESULT IN A FATAL ACCIDENT DUE TO LACK OF VISIBILITY. THE KEY CAN FALL OUT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR STATIONARY.

TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS I WAS DRIVING 65 ON THE FREEWAY, THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING. THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION AND FLASHED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ADDITIONALLY I WILL BE SITTING AT STOP LIGHTS AND YOU WILL GET THE SAME SHAKING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

VEHICLE IS PRESENTLY OUT OF SERVICE FOR IT'S 3RD REPAIR ATTEMPT OF THE SAME TRANSMISSION RELATED NON-CONFORMITY AND HAS BEEN SO FOR GREATER THAN A CUMULATIVE 30 DAYS AS OF 10/4/17. THE SAME SAFETY ISSUES OCCURRED UNDER IDENTICAL DRIVING CONDITIONS MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. WHILE IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THE VEHICLE'S 10 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP IN 7TH GEAR. AT THE EXACT TIME THIS DEFECT OCCURRED THE 'CHECK ENGINE' ALARMS AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS SOUNDED. THEREAFTER, THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO DOWNSHIFT OR UPSHIFT FROM 7TH GEAR NO MATTER WHAT SPEED. THEN VEHICLE ENGINE STALLED COMPLETELY ONCE MANEUVERED TO AN EXIT RAMP AND SLOWED TO A POINT WHERE 7TH GEAR COULD NO LONGER SUSTAIN FORWARD OPERATION. THERE IS A DOCUMENTED 1ST REPAIR ATTEMPT APPEARING TO BE THE IDENTICAL ISSUE BUT WAS MADE PRIOR TO MY TAKING POSSESSION OF THE NEW VEHICLE. THE SECOND OCCURRED ON 8/29/17 AT 427 MILES ON VEHICLE. AND THE 3RD ON 9/14/17 AND HAS BEEN IN SERVICE THROUGH PRESENT DAY. TO DATE REPAIR ATTEMPTS HAVE INCLUDED IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER: REPLACING "ALL 4 SPEED SENSORS TO TRANSMISSION AND THE TRANSMISSION INTERNAL HARNESS"; REPLACING "TCM - TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE"; AND IN PROGRESS (INCOMPLETE) REPLACING THE TCM "HARNESS". THE FIRST TWO REPAIR ATTEMPTS HAD ZERO POSITIVE EFFECT ON THE SAFETY RELATED NON-CONFORMITY, AND THE 3RD 'IN-PROGRESS' STILL HAS YET TO BE COMPLETED PAST THE 30 DAYS OUT-OF-SERVICE PERIOD.

THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A "BRAKE LIGHT" SIGN TURN ON INSIDE DASHBOARD, AND THE BRAKES DO NOT BRAKE WHILE IT IS IN MOTION. WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKE PAD, THE PAD GOES ALL THE WAY IN BUT DOES NOT STOP MY VEHICLE AT ALL. IT WORKS SOMETIMES, BUT MY STOPPING IS NOT GUARANTEED EVERY TIME. ALSO, WHEN I AM AT A RED LIGHT, MY ENGINE IS SUPPOSED TO SHUT DOWN THEN START BACK UP ONCE I RELEASE THE BRAKES (2017 F150). HOWEVER, MY ENGINE DOES NOT SHUT DOWN AT ALL. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER A FEW TIMES AND HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED, HOWEVER, NOTHING HAS CHANGED. NOW, MY DEALERSHIP IS AVOIDING ME BY NOT PICKING UP MY PHONE CALLS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR MY SAFETY, AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS.

THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN CORPUS CHRIST, TX BACK IN APRIL 2017. AUGUST 26, 2017, I WAS ON MY WAY TO COLORADO AND REALIZE MY BREAK PEDAL WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND SUDDENLY LOSE BRAKING ABILITY SIMULTANEOUSLY, WHICH WOULD BE A DISASTER IF AN EMERGENCY BRAKE IS NECESSARY IN SOME SITUATION. FORTUNATELY, IT HAPPENS WHEN I WAS ON A PARKING LOT TRYING TO GET BACK TO THE MAIN ROAD FROM A SHORT BREAK. I DID NOT TAKE IT VERY SERIOUS AS THERE IS ONLY ABOUT 4500 MILES ON THE TRUCK, AND THE BRAKE DID FUNCTION OKAY WHEN YOU NEED TO SLOW DOWN ON HIGHWAY (I MEAN SLOW DOWN, NOT TO MAKE A STOP), BUT NOT UNTIL I ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN DENVER. AFTER THAT, I HAD TO BE VERY VERY VERY VERY CAREFUL WHENEVER I NEED TO PERFORM A BRAKE SINCE I REALIZE IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR THE VEHICLE TO MAKE A COMPLETE STOP EVEN DRIVING IN NEIGHBORHOOD AT ABOUT 25 MPH. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO ALL THE WAY DOWN EVEN WHEN YOUR TRANSMISSION IS AT PARK. SO I CANCELLED EVERYTHING I PLANNED IN COLORADO AND STAYED HOTEL FOR 2 DAYS UNTIL CORPUS WAS CLEARED FROM HURRICANE HAZARD. I DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK VERY VERY VERY VERY CAREFULLY AND SENT IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY WHEN I GOT HOME, WHICH WAS THURSDAY AUGUST 31, 2017. THE TECH IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS MASTER CYLINDER FAILURE AND GOT THE MASTER CYLINDER ORDERED AND REPLACE ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2017. I UNDERSTAND THE DEALER IS VERY BUSY BECAUSE OF THE HURRICANE, AND I DO APPRECIATE THE THEY MANAGE TO GIVE ME A LOANER VEHICLE TAURUS TO DRIVE. HOWEVER, THE MASTER CYLINDER DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM ACCORDING TO THE TECH AND THEY HAVE TO ORDER AND REPLACE THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT, WHICH WOULD TAKE ANOTHER 10 BUSINESS DAYS. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND SAW OTHER PEOPLE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I HOPE FORD, IF NOT, NHTSA COULD TAKE THIS ISSUE SERIOUS BEFORE SOMEONE GOT INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.

ON 08/07/2017 WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES PER HOUR ON HIGHWAY 281 IN SAN ANTONIO, TX MY 2017 FORD F-150, V8 SUPER CREW, 4X4 FTX EXPERIENCED COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. MY BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKE ACTIVATION AND I HAD TO SWERVE TO THE LEFT TWO LANES TO AVOID IMPACTING THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. ONCE ON THE SHOULDER I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO STOP AFTER TRAVELLING SEVERAL HUNDRED YARDS. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING (NOISE, SERVICE LIGHTS, ETC.) PRIOR TO, DURING OR AFTER THE BRAKE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY FOUR MONTHS OLD WITH 6400 MILES ON IT. IF THERE WAS NO SHOULDER OR CLEAR LANES IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A SEVERE ACCIDENT LIKELY RESULTING IN INJURIES. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY MAKE MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SIDE ROADS BUT EXPERIENCED TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE THREE ADDITIONAL TIMES. THE FIRST TIME WAS WHILE I WAS STATIONARY AT A STOP SIGN FACING SLIGHTLY DOWNHILL MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD TO PUMP IT SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE THE VEHICLE STOP AGAIN. THE OTHER TWO TIMES I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES PER HOUR AND MISSED MY TURN (RIGHT) AND PROCEEDED PAST THE TURN APPROXIMATELY 50 YARDS AND HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO STOP. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER. THEY INDICATED IT WAS LEAKING INTERNALLY AND GAVE NO EXPLANATION WHY A SERVICE LIGHT OR OTHER WARNING DID NOT COME ON AND THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL FOR THAT PART.

FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO MONTHS, I HAVE HAD TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE A HOSE COMES OFF THE AIR BAG. THIS CAUSES AN ALARM AND CAUSES THE PASSENGER AIR BAGS TO FAIL. THIS CHRONIC FAILURE PUTS THE PASSENGER AT RISK ANY TIME IT DECIDES TO FAIL. IF THE DRIVER DOES NOTE THE SMALL LIGHT, THEY COULD OPERATE FOR YEARS WITH NO PASSENGER PROTECTION. THIS SHOULD BE PERMANENTLY FIXED. TWICE IN TWO MONTHS IS A CHRONIC FAILURE AND MAY BE A DESIGN FLAW.. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE, IT IS THAT WAY MOVING, STANDING STILL OR IDLING.

THE BRAKES WENT COMPLETELY OUT. THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, UPON GETTING IT BACK THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP ADEQUATELY, AND IT WAS RETURNED AT THAT MOMENT. THEY "BLED THE BRAKES" AGAIN AND RETURNED IT. THERE WAS ONLY 1 WORK ORDER FOR THIS. THE TRUCK SAT FOR A WEEK AND NOT THE BRAKES ARE SOFT AND INCONSISTENT. I RETURNED IT TO FORD AND THEY STATED IT WAS WORKING AS EXPECTED; HOWEVER IN A PANIC STOP THE BRAKES FAILED TO DO MORE THAN 50% STOP EFFORT AND ON ANOTHER OCCASION I PRESSED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, AND HAD HARDLY ANY BRAKE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. SINCE THEY DID NOT TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE THERE IS NO RECORD OF THIS THIRD ATTEMPT TO GET THE BRAKES FIXED. I THEN CALLED THE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND THEIR ANSWER IS JUST TO TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND IT FALLS OUTSIDE THE RECALL NOTICE FOR A REPLACEMENT MASTER CYLINDER. HOWEVER THAT IS THE INITIAL FAILURE. I SUSPECT ADDITIONAL ISSUES; BUT FORD IS FAILING TO ADDRESS THEM.

I REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE AT AROUND 35MPH. THE FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. WITHIN 2 MINUTES WE NOTICED THAT THE TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. THE FIRE ORIGINATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVER SIDE B PILLAR. MYSELF, ONE WITNESS, AND ONE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER ALL SAW WHERE THE FIRE STARTED. THE TRUCK FRONT AND CAB WERE TOTALLY BURNED UP WITHIN 5 MINUTES. NO ONE WAS HURT DUE TO THE FIRE.

NHTSA ODI 11014688

THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, THE CROSS TRAFFIC AND BLIND SPOT SENSORS FAILED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. FORD TOLD THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE PARTS, BUT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE.

THE CURRENT F150 IS NEARLY INVISIBLE FROM DIRECTLY BEHIND. THE LED RUNNING LIGHTS ONLY MAKE UP MAYBE 2% OF THE REAR END AREA, ARE FAR APART, AND APPEAR SO DIM FROM DIRECTLY BEHIND THAT THE TRUCKS ARE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE IN FOG OR POOR LIGHTING. THE TAILS LIKE MIGHT LOOK BIG ENOUGH IF YOU LOOK AT IT FROM A 45 DEGREE ANGLE, HOWEVER NOT FROM BEHIND DIRECTLY.
