Since buying this truck i've been having driveline vibrations on the vehicle. The vibrations happen when from a complete stop i would accelerate and have vibrations that would cause the truck to shake. The conditions of the road were normal and and tried numerous times on different pavements to see if it might be the road conditions but it wasn't. The vibrations is mainly between the 5-15 mile per hour range. I've…

The glass exploded both inside and outside. There was glass everywhere. After researching, i have found several other similar issues with the back glass. The truck was in park and in our driveway. The quote from the ford…

The ford f-150 2016 have a serious flaw in safety feature. The windows will not raise or lower unless the engine is running. The seriousness of this can't be painted in this email as opposed to the real life potential of being trapped in a truck and the only way out would be to roll down the windows. In the right circumstances the engine may not start therefore giving the potential to be trapped in a ford truck that…

When temperatures are below freezing the doors will not open, or they won't latch shut. This has happened on 5 occasions since november 2018 . Ford issued safety recall 17s33 and ford customer satisfaction program 18n03 to try to repair the door latch defect. Those recalls, and repair programs have been performed on my vehicle, and after four attempts by the dealer to correct the latch issues, the defect still…

Tailgate wont unlock when temp is freezing. I'm reading that many ford owners from, 2015 through 2017 have the same issue. Here is what i found and the part number for the fix. Some 2015-2017 f-150 vehicles built on or before 28-nov-2016 equipped with a mechanical tailgate handle and remote control tailgate lock may exhibit a tailgate that will not open during freezing temperatures due to a frozen tailgate latch…

After driving for about 2 minutes, i heard a loud pop sound that sounded like a gunshot explosion. I looked back at the rear glass, and it had shattered. The tempered glass was still intact however it was making a loud crackling sound. I pulled off the highway immediately and parked in a…

My rear seat door lock pull buttons on both sides were not screwed into the mechanism. This would not allow the passenger to exit the vehicle by overriding the electric door locks. This could be a serious problem in an emergency. I fixed it by screwing the plastic post into the threaded mechanism.

I drove my truck to my farm without incident. After being parked for a while, my son-in-law got in to drive to a work area and immediately reported the brake pedal went to the floor. We checked the brake fluid level and it was almost empty, even though i had recently had the level checked as "full" at a change of oil and filter. It took two large bottles of brake fluid (at over $8.00 each, just to get it home (about…

It's happened 9 or 10 times in two years ... Try to start it - nothing...try again-still completely dead. Sit back wondering what i'm going to do, and the truck will start all by itself while i'm not touching anything. Have spoken to numerous mechanics none have heard of it before.

I have a 2016 f150 with issues similar to nhtsa complaint id# 10127407. The problems are not intermittent, the part has failed & is not available from ford at this time. The air conditioning quits completely & you cannot run the fan at all. You cannot roll down any windows in the vehicle & the vehicle gets well over 90 degrees inside while driving. This is a huge safety issue because when this doesn't work it also…

Started to hear a clicking/tapping noise coming from the engine while at idle. Have learned that it is the etb (electronic throttle body). I physically saw the etb making the noise i am concerned about. Took to ford for diagnosis and because the truck is not giving an error code, there is nothing they will do. Found that there are several hundred complaints against ford and their etb. It is a safety issue that i am…

The right passenger door will not shut, also the left passenger door will not open. I have contacted the dealer from where i purchased the vehicle and was told there is a back order on parts with no known time frame when they will receive the parts. Recall number is 17s33/ nhtsa recall 17v-652. The vehicle is not safe to operate due to this condition.

In a few degrees below freezing locks and latches will not work!! Most often you will be forced to bungee doors together to drive. In my case it is a screw and it is almost always the driver's door. It has been fixed with the latest ford repairs and still continues to fail. Many many of us are sufferring without a fix from ford!!

Since i purchased my truck there has been issues with the backup camera. The dealer replaced the apim and had to keep the vehicle for three weeks to trace a bad wire. It has been 10 months and the camera has failed again. I feel as if this is a wider spread issue. Ford even expanded the warranty for the previous years apims.
