Power steering failure was sudden and unexpected and almost caused an accident when in motion doing a turn, due to electronic power steering system lock up which prevented the front wheels from turning as much as expected. This is a very dangerous unexpected condition and could have caused a serious accident…

The 20 amp fuse for the fuel pump relay overheated and melted causing the engine to stop. This problem had been showing up intermittently, only when starting, for about 2 weeks. Searched on-line and found that this is a very common problem for f150 trucks and that ford is aware of the problem, has issued a service kit to change the fuse to a larger version but has not issued a recall.

This is an intermittent problem. The right rear door will not unlock or open from the inside or outside. Does not matter if the engine is on, the vehicle is moving or stopped. I feel this is a safety issue as the passenger on this side can not escape in an emergency.

The automatic locks on the doors stopped working on the vehicle. We took the vehicle to a local dealer and were told that the problem was electrical and could eventually impact all electrical functions in the vehicle. They said there was a short on one of the doors - they replaced the bcm and driver rear door latch which cost $900. As the vehicle was not even 2 years old, we could not understand how this could have…

The rear window defrost stopped working. 3 ford dealerships indicated this is widespread with this vehicle. With snow sticking to the window, visibility for reversing to avoid other vehicles, obstacles and pedestrians is greatly reduced. A vehicle this large, even with rear camera and mirrors should have the best visibility possible.
