    Heading east on hwy 18 at 55 mph between cobb and edmund wi, which is a very straight, smooth section of highway, i heard a very loud bang. I thought i must have lost a chunk of ice underneath the truck, but it was so loud, i was skeptical that was truly it. My rear window defrost light flickered on and off a few times during the drive, but i didn't notice until i got to work (about 8 miles later) that the rear…

    Neither of the rear doors open from the inside or out if the truck has been double locked with the clicker remote. This is not an isolated incident and it takes several days for the locks to reset and the doors to open.

    While the vehicle was stationary, i was unable to close the sunroof. The dealer diagnosed the plastic guide on track broke. After doing some research this appears to be very common for 2010-2014 f150. This needs to be addressed by ford. Thank you.

The fluid is protected to -35 and the temp was only -10. My friend has a 2014 f150 and it does the same. It's dangerous cause we can't clean the windshield. It happens if the veh is moving or not.

    My 2013 ford f150 3.7l 66,000 miles has an ongoing brake/rotor problem. I started having the problems at about 36,000 miles. Finally replaced the rotors/brakes at 46,000 now the rotors are warping again after only 20,000 miles. The front end has a vibration in it, even when not braking. The recall issued was limited to the 3.5l engine. From my internet research this recalled should be extended to other models.

    Made a turn at an intersection with my kids and my f150 ecoboost lost power. I thought we were gonna get hit. I have had my 2013 f150 into the local ford dealership 3 times for this issue. They tell me to drive it they are waiting for a new computer program from ford. Engine lite has been on for a month or more. Dealership keeps giving it back. Waiting on program. Vehicle i feel is not safe.

It was a small amount as 1st and know it's about 2 1/2" down on both sides. The truck has only 34k on it and is garage keep most of the time. Dealer will only assist making me pay 1/3 of the cost to replace it. This in my option it a defect in materials and workmen ship. I think is should be…
