    Engine failure on hard acceleration. Truck did not maintain speed and recover.i had to take foot off of gas pedal for engine to recover. This occurred in florida under passing conditions. Is nhtsa waiting for deaths or would another report from ford that it's not a problem would do?

    There are @ hoses that come out of the radiator and go into a hard plastic t-piece (part number dr3z-8566-a) and there are o-rings inside of it. Mine started leaking and i was informed that i had to replace the whole piece no big deal. Then the dealer ship went on to tell me that they have replaced 6 in the last 2 weeks of the same exact year and model. The dealer ship is in lima ohio. That being said if there are…

    While taking my son to school, we were startled by a very loud noise like a gunshot or golf ball hitting what i thought was the roof of the car. The rear window shattered. We stopped and inspected the vehicle, no debris around the vehicle was found and no holes in the window that caused our back rear window to shatter. Rear defrost was in use at the time. There are numerous complaints of this happening on the web…

    F-150 with ecoboost 3.5l gdti engine. Electric vacuum pump that supports the brake booster stopped functioning. Brake pedal feel was hard and vehicle was difficult to stop at times. There were no signs or indicators of the malfunction, other than the hard pedal feel which came on slowly and therefore difficult to notice until vehicle was difficult to stop.

    In may 2015 my 2011 ford f150 3.5l ecoboost began making a buzzing noise in the front left fender well under the hood. From that time forward the truck makes the noise upon start-up. Once the vehicle runs for a while the noise seems to fade away but returns upon restart. A technician tried to diagnose the noise at a local repair shop but to no avail. The noise has gotten worse which prompted me to take the truck…

    I turned on the rear defrost on my 2011 ford f-150 with 45,000 miles on it and the r/h side of the sliding rear window shattered. It is still in one piece but there are small glass fragments of glass all over the back seat. I am sure glad my girlfriends grandson was not put in his carseat before this happened. I stopped at the local ford dealer they took pictures and submitted it off to ford. I get a response from…

    Power rear window glass has factory flaw causes rear window defroster and heated mirrors to become inoperable. There has been hundreds, if not thousands of cases of this issue. Ford will not issue a recall. They do not cover it in their top tier extended warranty programs. I was quoted over $1000 to replace whole back glass to rectify. Ford has since changed vendors for the complete back glass unit and still no…

    While driving down the road i heard a loud "pop" and found that my passenger side rear section of the back window shattered. I had to replace the whole back window as a unit and it cost $776. It appears the back defrost shorted out and broke the glass. Ford denies any culpability.

    Front door speakers stop or intermittently work.sometimes if you hit it it will start to work again. Had the one on right replaced and now the one on left has started to acting up. Could be a safety hazard if you try to reach down and hit it while driving.
