2010 FORD F-150 Structure Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE RUNNING BOARDS WERE FRACTURED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FREEDOM FORD (3941 ADMIRAL PEARY HWY, EBENSBURG, PA 1593) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RUNNING BOARDS WERE FRACTURED, WHICH COULD CAUSE CARBON MONOXIDE TO ENTER THE CAB. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TRUCK STARTED LEAKING WATER INSIDE BOTH SIDES OF THE REAR ROOF CORNERS. *JS

WATER LEAKS THROUGH THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT LENS DURING HARD RAIN OR AUTO CAR WASH. ENOUGH WATER COMES IN TO SOAK THE BACK SEAT AND THE FLOOR. THEN THERE IS SO MUCH MOISTURE INSIDE THE CAB THAT THE DEFROSTER CAN NOT CLEAR THE WINDOWS NOR INSIDE THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY PROBLEM AS THE DRIVER'S VISION IS VERY EFFECTED. CALLED LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE ARE NOT A PROBLEM - PROBABLY JUST A PINCHED GASKET FROM CHANGING A LIGHT BULB. BUT THAT IS NOT THE FACTS. PLEASE CHECK OUT THE MANY ONLINE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

WHEN GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH, THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT LEAKS WATER INTO THE BACK SEAT OF THE TRUCK. *TR

I GOT IN THE TRUCK THIS MORNING AND LEFT THE HOUSE, TURNED ON REAR DEFROSTER, AND ABOUT 3 MINUTES LATER I HEARD A LOUD "POP"! I STOPPED AND LOOKED AROUND BUT DIDN'T FIND ANY SINCE IT WAS STILL DARK OUT BUT ONCE THE SUN CAME OUT I SAW MY REAR PASSENGER WINDOW, RIGHT ABOVE MY DAUGHTER'S CHILD SEAT WAS SHATTERED. LUCKILY SHE WAS NOT IN THERE. I HAVE SPOKE WITH DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS HAPPENING, BUT A SIMPLE SEARCH HERE AND ON THE FORD FORUMS SHOW PLENTY OF CONSUMERS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL! *TR

HEAD LINER WET, REAR SEATS AND REAR CARPET WET. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY DID NOT EVEN TRY TO FIND PROBLEM SINCE IT WAS A WATER LEAKING PROBLEM IT WAS NOT COVERED EITHER BY THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY OR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I HAD PURCHASED. APPARENTLY IT IS A LEAK IN THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT LOCATED AT THE TOP OF THE ROOF. WITH AS MANY OF THE 2010 F150'S EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN EITHER DESIGN OR INSTALLATION AT FORD, AND FORD SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR REPAIRING THE PROBLEM. *TR ## VIN FAILED ##

2010 F150 TWIN CAB HAS A PLASTIC TRAY IN THE FRONT SEAT MIDDLE BOTTOM SECTION THAT HAS VERY SHARPY FLASH THAT CAUSED MY WIFE TO CUT/PEEL OF HER SKIN FROM HER BACK ANKLE WHILE WEARING HER SANDALS. *TR
