After pulling over, simply turning the vehicle off, then restarting, everything appears normal again. Two ford dealers "found no…

I was traveling in the righthand lane of the east bound side of i24 around manchester, tn. My speed was approximately 65-70 mph. I suddenly came up upon slower traffic in the same lane and signaled to pass the slower traffic. As i looked in my mirrors for traffic behind me i noticed another vehicle closing on me in a hurry. I depressed the accelerator to gain speed and make the pass. The vehicle lurched and the…

This is very disappointing to have to experience so soon with a brand new truck. The location of this wiring harness is in an area that unless you have side steps and maybe even then, is not protected. Even then the way the wiring harness comes out from within the wheel wall makes no sense. I'm attaching a few pictures so you can see what occurred. Luckily, someone saw the wire dragging and told me before it was too…

1. Rear defrost and side mirror defrost fuse continually blows. Started appx 3 yrs and at 42,000 miles 2. Steering column locks up when turning left at a slow speed in cases such as pulling into or out of a driveway or parking spot or making a u turn. At high speeds on the interstate vehicle floats to the left and it is hard to straighten, almost as if there is no power assist.(i understand ford recalled some but…

My new ford f150 has recurring issues with the sync system. We drive down the road, hang up the bluetooth connected phone and the radio will begin playing at full volume and the steering wheel controls stop working, or you will be starting the car up and the air conditioning will be full blast or you will start the car and you wont have any radio/cd player/ media controls working at all. My ford rep says that ford…

I was driving on the highway, in the right lane, doing about 60 mph. For some unknown reason, the truck simply shut off and lost all power. I coasted to the shoulder and waited a minute or so to calm down and decide what to do. I then tried to restart the truck, and it started right up. I nervously drove the rest of the 25 miles or so to my home without incident. The truck also seemed to run fine for the next couple…
