Secondary timing chain link came apart soon after i bought the truck in 2015 at 66,000 miles my warranty paid for it. Now it is happening again but on the other side of the engine. 2 time chain links fall apart. Ford is not paying for this because my warranty was up 2 months ago and it is not a pre certified truck, miles are 120,066 miles. 2 timing chain links break in 4 years???????? The technicians at santa maria…

Driver side rear window shattered while sitting still in a parking lot with vehicle not running. The rear window is a 3 piece sliding window with rear defrost and factory tint. The vehicle had just been turned off after driving with the rear defroster on. Approximately 2-3 minutes after turning the vehicle off i heard a load boom and after investigating found it to be the rear glass shattering. After researching the…

2012 f150 fx4 passenger rear window exploded 2-9-19. 32 degrees. Has defrost, was not on. Actually caught the incident on video while parked in my driveway. Entered vehicle after remote start, inserted key...10 seconds later "shatter". This is clearly defective glass, maybe not thick enough? Disappointing. This should be a recall. I do have video as it occurred.

Also happens to 3rd and 5th. Other 2012's have lead frame assembly replacement which takes care of faulty output speed sensor, my recall of re-programming has all the symptoms of the lead frame recall but is just outside…

The door locks on the vehicle stick in the locked position. I cannot get in or out the vehicle when the door locks stick. This is a reoccurring issue. I have to get pliers to pull the tab up to get it unlocked. It happens in both stationary and when the vehicle is in motion.

Driving down the road when the truck lurches forward, rear tires make a squealing sound from skidding. It was hard to keep truck in center lane of interstate and immediately had to make my way to the emergency lane. Once i turned the truck off and sat for a few minutes it acted like nothing ever happened. I have read the reports of the intercooler being messed up and several years ago i had to replace that part due…

The roof frame holding the glass electrically operates moonroof cracked creating a dangerous condition during a rollover accident. The most serious problem would be a wateeemersion like the recent amphibious ww2 'duck' where 17 souls were lost. Please step up and require ford to fix the problem.
