On 4/2/19 while driving at approx. 50 mph, all at once, the speedometer dropped to 0, air bag light came on, and the truck started running an idling rough. When we got to our destination we were planning on calling on someone to pick us up. We started the truck to move it out of the way, and it was back to normal. We drove home no problems. I drove the truck to work the very next day, 10 minutes away, ran errands,…

Had to have all 24 lug nuts replaced at 62,000 miles. I had to replace 12 lug nuts before this starting in 2014.. Very difficult to remove. They get destroyed removing but get stripped and are impossible to remove with supplied wrench. I work in the woods and can't get road service. These lug nuts are a poor design.

Driving down interstate and truck suddenly shifted to 3rd gear locking up my tires. Thank god i didn't lose control and drove off the road to a stop. Turned off truck and back on. Drove ok for a bit. Will keep dropping gears or randomly shifting up and down. From a start it could sometime try to go into 5th. At times all the dash indicators flash and go to dashes.

Wheel lug nuts are two piece design and swell over time due to corrosion making it difficult to remove with the factory supplied lug wrench in the event of road side flat tire. This vehicle only had 45k miles and wheel could not be taken off at road side with lug wrench. Design is problematic and we request the manufacture to recall lug nuts or issue a field campaign to reimburse owners who have already had to…

Purchased truck in march 2014 & since have had over 10 flat tires. Took truck to dealership & was told tires are cracking due to being driven on a gravel road. Was not aware that the vehicle we purchased was not suitable to be driven on the gravel roads we live on. Tires are a safety hazard for anyone that drives on gravel roads. *tr

They found that the front right brake caliper bolts were completely missing and the inside of wheel was grooved where it had been rubbing against the bolt before it broke off. They advised taking it to ford, which i did. Ford kept…

Bad steering vibration when braking at highway speeds. Took vehicle to dealer and they indicated warped rotors that had to be machined back to proper surface - already!. Vehicle is only a few months old, only approx. 15k miles. Have noticed online that others have had the same issue. This seems like a safety concern with ford using sub-standard brake rotor materials. Additionally, the vehicle would drift to the left…

I bought a 2013 f-150 with 7 miles on in 8/2013. At 22,000 mile the inside of the front passenger tire was bald. Both rear tires was bald in the center. Ford service adviser and the service manager told me that the f150 trucks where "eating the tires off". The dealer ship got me a credit towards new tires but although these where factory installed they said 50% was the best they could knock off the price. My…
