The contact owns a 2012 Ford F-150. The contact stated that upon taking the vehicle to an independent mechanic to replace all four tires, he was informed that the lug nuts on all four wheels were fractured and swollen. The contact stated that the lug nuts were replaced. Additionally, the contact stated that the tachometer and the speedometer needle had detached. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but did not provide any assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY DOWNSHIFTED AND LUNGED FORWARD. ALSO, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING FLICKERED AND WENT COMPLETELY DARK.

THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,800.

FURTHERMORE, A GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WHEREIN SOME OWNERS ACTUALLY RAN OUT OF GAS OWING TO AN INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READING.
