2012 FORD F-150 Electrical System Problems

FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW AN ISSUE WITH THE DRIVER TRAN MODULE HAS BEEN CAUSING MY TRUCK TO GO FROM ANY GEAR INTO FIRST, LOCKING TIRES UP AND CAUSING ISSUES WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. ** SAFETY RECALL WAS MADE ON DRIVER TRAN MODULE **. HOWEVER, MY TRUCK IS NOW IN WORSE CONDITION WITHOUT A FIX TO THE ISSUE, BUT MY TRUCK IS NOW SHUTTING THE ENTIRE COMPUTER MODULE DOWN AND I HAVE FURTHER TRANSMISSION ISSUES.

REAR PASSAGER DOOR AJAR COME ON WHEN OFF CAUSING INTRERAL LIGHT TO STAY ON .THE TIMER CAN BE TURNED OFF AND STILL STAY ON PASS 30 SEC LONGEST TIME STORTEST 10 SEC.

TRANSMISSION - OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR IS FAULTY. HAD A RECALL, SAID THE TRANSMISSION MODULE NEEDED REPROGRAMMING, HOWEVER THIS DID NOT FIX ISSUE OF DOWNSHIFTING TO 1ST GEAR AND UNABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF. ALSO HAPPENS TO 3RD AND 5TH. OTHER 2012'S HAVE LEAD FRAME ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT WHICH TAKES CARE OF FAULTY OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR, MY RECALL OF RE-PROGRAMMING HAS ALL THE SYMPTOMS OF THE LEAD FRAME RECALL BUT IS JUST OUTSIDE THE MANUFACTURE DATE AND NOT INCLUDED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, IT STALLED AND FAILED TO RESTART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FUSE WAS REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000. .*BF THE CONSUMER STATED HAD TO PURCHASE A REWIRE KIT FROM FORD TO PREVENT THE PROBLEM. *TR

FEB 24, 2019 WAS PULLING OUT OF CHURCH PARKING LOT WHEN FORD TRUCK SUDDENLY DIED WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. LUCKILY I HAD ENOUGH SPACE TO MANEUVEUR TO THE SIDE. I TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND TRIED TO RESTART. FORD TRUCK WOULD ONLY CRANK..(NO START) I HAD TRUCK TOWED HOME. AFTER READING ON INTERNET I LOOKED AT FUEL FUSE F27 20 AMP. SURE ENOUGH IT WAS BURNED. I REPLACED AND VEHICLE STARTED UP. I ASKED DEALER ABOUT WARRANTY UNDER THE FEDERAL EMISSION WARRANTY AND THEY SAID NOTHING EXSIST. I HAVE READ ENOUGH TO KNOW THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT AND SHOULD REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUSE OVERHEATED AND PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM STARTING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO IRON CITY FORD (9924 PARKWAY E, BIRMINGHAM, AL 35215) WHERE THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE WIRING AND FUSES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AWAITING REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,854.

WHILE TRAVELING AT 48 MPH ON 2 LANE COUNTY RD I WAS IN 4 WHEEL HIGH WHEN TRUCK SLAMMED INTO 1ST GEAR CAUSING TRUCK TO LOOSE TRACTION AND ENDED UP GOING INTO DITCH. THE TRUCK NEVER STALLED OUT ALL GAUGES STOPPED WORKING AND TECH LIGHT CAME ON. I PROCEEDED TO BE PULLED FROM DITCH. THEN TURNED TRUCK OFF .CHECKED TRUCK OVER IT HAS BODY DAMAGE NOTHING VISIBLE UNDER TRUCK SO I STARTED IT GAUGES WHERE WORKING TECH LIGHT WAS OFF RADIO STOPPED WORKING BUT COULD BE LOOSE CONNECTION I PROCEEDED TO LIMP IT HOME AT ABOUT 20 MPH WAS SHIFTING HARD AT HIGHER RPM I HAD IT TOWED TO BODY SHOP WHILE AT HOSPITAL.RECALL CAME ON NEWS I WENT TO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID BRING IT IN THEY'LL REPROGRAM IT . I'M WONDERING ABOUT DAMAGES CAUSED BY DEFECT WHO WILL BE PAYING FOR THAT? THIS DEFECT IS A DANGER AND I...

WHILE THE REAR DEFROSTER IS ACTIVATED THE GLASS SHATTERED DUE TO WHAT SEEMED TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL FOR THE DEFROSTER. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND RUNNING AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.

THIS TRUCK IS SPONTANEOUSLY SHIFTING DOWN TO 1ST GEAR. IT IS ALSO GETTING STUCK IN DIFFERENT GEARS AND NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, FORD SUPPOSEDLY HAS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO 150,000 MILES FOR THE LEAD FRAME, HOWEVER I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO HONOR THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM. I CALLED FORD CORPORATE AND THE SAME THING. NOT ONLY WHEN THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS DOES THE TRANSMISSION MESS UP BUT SO DOES THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, TO THE POINT WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T WORK AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ERRATICALLY, JUMPING FROM LOWER TO HIGHER GEARS. WHILE UP TO SPEED, IMMEDIATELY SHIFTS TO 1ST CAUSING REDLINING OF RPMS. SPEEDOMETER JUMPS ERRATICALLY. HAPPENED INITIALLY WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. CAUSED LOSS OF POWER AND FEELING OF MISFIRING, THEN SUDDEN SURGE FORWARD. AFTER GETTING UP TO APPROX. 40 MPH, TRANSMISSION SHIFTS TO 1ST AND STAYS THERE. COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A CRASH IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE CRUISING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER NOT WORKING

REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER QUITE WORKING

I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN APRIL OR MAY. WHEN MY TRUCK IS STATIONARY AND TURNED OFF WITH THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION, MY DASH LIGHTS DO NOT SHUT OFF. I DIDN'T NOTICE THIS THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE, AT NIGHT, MY LIGHTS STAY ON FOR ABOUT 20-30 SECONDS AND THEN SHUT OFF. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THIS, I GOT HOME FOR THE NIGHT, PUT MY TRUCK IN PARK, SHUT IT OFF, AND TOOK OUT THE KEYS. I USED MY REMOTE TO LOCK THE TRUCK. GOT IN IT THE NEXT DAY AND IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. I HAD TO PUT IT ON THE BATTERY CHARGER FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND FINALLY GOT IT STARTED BUT I NOTICED WHILE CHARGING IT (WITH THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION) THAT MY DASH LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. ITS ALMOST LIKE MY TRUCK DOES NOT KNOW THAT IT IS IN PARK AND IT THINKS...

BIG YELLOW WRENCH APPEARED ON IP CLUSTER WHILE DRIVING, SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO "0", TACHOMETER NOW WON'T DROP TO "0" READS HIGH ALL THE TIME. TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER, WAS CHARGED FOR A "LEAD FRAME" REPLACEMENT; TACHOMETER STILL DOESN'T WORK; NOW I FIND OUT THERE IS/WAS A RECALL ON THE LEAD FRAME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TEMPORARILY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND IT SPUN OUT OF THE RIGHT LANE INTO A GRASSY AREA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES SEIZED AND THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY PLACED INTO NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. DURING THE FAILURE, THE SPEEDOMETER AND INSTRUMENT PANEL BECAME INOPERATIVE. THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE INCREASED AND DECREASED AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LOST POWER COMPLETELY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED AND UPSHIFTED RANDOMLY. GRIECO FORD OF DELRAY BEACH (3000 SOUTH FEDERAL HIGHWAY, DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA 33483, (561) 278-278-0303) AND AUTONATION FORD MARGATE (5401 WEST COPANS ROAD, MARGATE, FLORIDA 33063, (954) 644-4976) WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO...

VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 45000 MILES. HAS ERRATIC LOSS OF POWER WHILE ACCELERATING. EVIDENCE OF WATER IN THE AIR INTAKE. RESEARCH IS SHOWING THAT THE ECOBOOST ENGINE IS COLLECTING MORE WATER IN THE INTERCOOLER THAN THE ENGINE CAN CONSUME. PROBLEMS INCREASES IN SOUTHERN HUMID STATES. THIS IS PROBLEM CAUSED BY FAULTY ENGINEERING IN THE 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE AND COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS DUE TO UNPREDICTABLE LOSS IN POWER. LOSS OF POWER IS FELT WHILE DRIVING ON CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING.

TAKATA RECALL MY TRUCK KEEPS DOWNSHIFTING AND LOCKING UP MY BACK WHEELS ON THE HIGHWAY. I JUST ALMOST HAD A WRECK AND THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

(10101 CAPITAL BLVD, WAKE FOREST, NC 27587, (877) 331-8117), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND FILED A CASE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,983.

THE VEHICLE WOULD DOWNSHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR WITHOUT WARNING, HAS OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO REMAIN IN 1ST GEAR AFTER THESE INCIDENTS AND INTERMITTENTLY WHEN LEAVING FROM A STOP, AT AN INTERSECTION. VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES, IN WHICH CASE THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYED AN ILLUMINATED MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT AND GONE INTO LIMP MODE, WITH ONLY 5TH GEAR AVAILABLE, WHILE IN AN INTERSECTION. THIS PROBLEM WOULD ALSO CAUSE THE ODOMETER TO READ '-------.--' AND THE SPEEDOMETER TO READ '0 MPH', EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, TRAVELLING AT ANY SPEED. VEHICLE IS IN OTHERWISE PERFECT OPERATING CONDITIONS. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE P0720 WAS DISPLAYED DURING THESE INCIDENTS. THE MANUFACTURER HAS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 16N02 FOR 'CERTAIN' VEHICLES, IN WHICH THE DEALERS ARE REPLACE THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION. IN THE CASE OF MY VEHICLE, THIS PROGRAM DID NOT APPLY TO MY...

THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AND POWER FUSES BOTH MELTED WHICH HAS CAUSED STARTING ISSUES AND ENGINE MISFIRES. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THE SAME FUSES MELTING IN AGES 2010 -2014 OF THE SAME FORD F-150 TRUCKS. THIS SHOULD BE UNDER A FORD RECALL PROGRAM AS IT CAUSED TRUCKS TO LOOSE POWER.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. TURNED DEFROST ON REAR POWER SLIDER WINDOW. SAW SMOKE COME FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW (OUTSIDE WINDOW TRIM PIECE BOTTOM). TURNED THE TRUCK OFF IMMEDIATELY AND HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION. THE REAR WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SHATTERED

MY F150 STARTED TO DROP IN TO 1ST GEAR UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN DRIVING AT AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 50MPH. AT FIRST THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AND MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND A SOURCE NOW I AM GETTING ENGINE CODES P0720 AND P0722. WHEN I TRIED TO INVESTIGATE I FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED ON SOME 2012 FORD F150 BUT NOT MINE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS CAUSE UNEXPECTEDLY DOWN SHIFTS ON NATIONAL INTERSTATES. I URGE YOU TO PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS THOROUGHLY.

I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST AND MY PASSENGER SIDE OF THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE WHEN IT HAPPENED. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE DEALER AND OTHER FORD PERSONNEL HAVE ADMITTED THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM - BUT NO RECALL.

MY 2012 F150 REAR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SECTION SUDDENLY SHATTERED AFTER TURNING ON THE REAR DEFROST FUNCTION. REAR DEFROST WENT ON THEN I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING G. THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE GLASS SECTION THEN SHATTERED. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO TRAUMA THAT CAUSED THIS. THE REAR DEFROST WILL NO LONGER OPERATE SINCE. I CONTACTED FORD SERVICE AND THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND CLOSE TO 150 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. WHEN THE GLASS SHATTERED THE TEMPERATURE WAS NEAR 30 DEGREES AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION.

RIGHT REAR WINDOW SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERS WITH A SOUND LIKE A RIFLE SHOT 10 MINUTES AFTER REAR DEFROST ELEMENTS WERE TURNED ON. NOTHING STRUCK GLASS. NO EVIDENCE OF IMPACT. VEHICLE MOVING ONLY TEN MILES AN HOUR IN A PARKING LOT.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WHILE ACCELERATING THE TRUCK DIED. I HAD JUST ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NOT KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED I GOT MY TRUCK TOWED HOME. AFTER RESEARCHING ALL NIGH, THE NEXT MORNING I PULLED FUSE #27 LOW AND BEHOLD IT WAS MELTED. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT, I FELT VERY FORTUNATE THAT IT DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE FORD TO RIGHT THIS COMMON PROBLEM BECAUSE OF SAFETY. I COULDN'T IMAGINE HOW MAD I'D BE IF MY FAMILY WERE IN THE TRUCK WITH ME

STARTED MY VEHICLE ON A COLD MORNING TURNED ON THE WINDOW DEFROST AND REAR DEFROST. CAME BACK TO IT A FEW MINUTES LATER AND THE BACK WINDOW WAS SMOKING AND THE GASKET HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE. IT SHATTERED THE WINDOW AND BURNT AND MELTED THE GASKET. THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE F150 WITH REAR DEFROST AND POWER SLIDING WINDOW IT EITHER BREAKS THE WINDOW OR CATCHES FIRE MINE DID NOT EVEN BLOW THE FUSE. HAVE SEEN MANY CASES OF THIS THRU F150 FORUMS AND FORD HAS NOT COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. IT IS ALSO A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX . MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY HAD I NOT CAUGHT IT IN TIME THIS WOULD HAVE DESTROYED MY TRUCK AND CAUGHT MY HOUSE ON FIRE TOO

VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHIFTS UP AND DOWN. IT WILL SOMETIMES SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 6TH AND THEN THE VEHICLE DOES NOT GO SINCE IT IS IN HIGH GEAR. OTHER TIMES, IT WILL SHIFT FROM 6TH TO 3RD. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON EXPRESSWAY, IT SHIFTED TO 3RD AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO JERK. I RESEARCHED AND OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. TOOK TO FORD AND THEY SAID IT NEEDS A NEW LEAD RELAY WHICH WILL COST $600.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED FROM FIRST GEAR AND FAILED TO CHANGE GEARS APPROPRIATELY. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE IN ORDER FOR IT TO RETURN TO NORMAL. THE FAILURE RECURRED THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE DEALER (ATHENS FORD, 4260 ATLANTA HWY, ATHENS, GA 30606, (706) 521-0778) DIAGNOSED THAT THE LEAF FRAME WIRING HARNESS IN THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER MADE NO MENTION OF THE SERVICE CAMPAIGN (15N05 ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP EXTENDED COVERAGE), SO THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF IT WAS RELATED. IN ADDITION, THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM A RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN PARKED WITH IGNITION OFF AND NO ONE IN THE TRUCK DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH KEY OR INSIDE ON THE UNLOCK SWITCH. WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM SOMETIMES YOU CAN UNLOCK AND LOCK REPEATEDLY AND IT WOULD UNLOCK BUT NOW IT WONT DO ANYTHING. BOTH DOORS LOCK FINE BUT WHEN UNLOCKING ONLY THE PASSANGER SIDE DOOR UNLOCKS. THIS IS ON AN EXTENDED CAB XLT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE ENGINE SHUTTERED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SHUT OFF, AND RESTARTED.

THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL MODULE WIRES MELTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT OFFER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,853. UPDATED 08/24/17*LJ *CN

THE AUDIO SYSTEM HAS STOPPED WORKING IN THE TRUCK I OWN. THE DASH TIME FLASHES BUT NONE OF THE DIALS WORK. THIS OCCURS WHEN IT IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

MY TRANSMISSION INTERMITTENTLY SHIFTS FROM HIGH GEARS TO LOW GEARS AND VISE VERSA. THIS OCCURS BOTH WHEN ACCELERATING AND WHEN IN HIGH SPEEDS. IT APPEARS TO BE A LEAD FRAME ISSUE ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP IN EL CENTRO, CA. IT IS QUITE DANGEROUS AND SCARY WHEN MY CHILD IS IN THE CAR. I FOUND 16N02 EXTENDED WARRANTY AND RECALL #16S19, BUT THEY DO NOT COVER MY VEHICLE. THEY SHOULD!

WHEN STARTING MY 2012 F150 I TURN THE KEY AND THERE IS A DELAY AND THEN IT STARTS DON'T THINK THAT IS RIGHT I GET 15.6 MILES PER GAL ON MY 3.5 ECO-BOOST AND KICKING IN THE PASSING GEAR I LOOSE POWER AND ENG. LIGHT COMES ON 3 TIMES THIS HAS HAPPEN ALL TIMES I PULL OVER AND SHUT TRUCK OFF AND RESTART LIGHT GOES OUT.

THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BLINKERS WILL NOT FUNCTION.

TRUCK GOES INTO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING AND DISPLAYS A WRENCH ON THE SCREEN. HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT FULL SPEED AND ONCE WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. OUR LOCAL FORD SAYS THEY CANNOT SEE US FOR 3 MORE WEEKS BECAUSE THEY ARE SO BUSY. A LOCAL MECHANIC TELLS US IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY. FROM WHAT I READ THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I'M TRULY SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE JUST ALL THE SUDDEN LOSES ALL ACCELERATION AND STOPS. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT MOVING IS TO PUT IT IN PARK, TURN IT OFF AND RE-START. WHEN ON A HIGHWAY GOING 60 MILES AN HOUR THIS IS VERY UNSAFE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND ACTIVATING THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER, THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

IN WARM WEATHER THE TRUCK SUDDENLY SHAKES AND DOWNSHIFTS TO FIRST GEAR NO MATTER WHAT SPEED YOU ARE GOING. THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING, A WRENCH IS DISPLAYED ON DASH SOMETIMES. THE SPEED AFTER DOING THIS DOES NOT EXCEED 20-25 MPH. IF WE CAN SAFELY GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND TURN TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT EVERYTHING RESETS. THIS HAPPENS ATLEAST ONCE DAILY, SOMETIMES MORE THAN ONCE DAILY. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN TRUCK IS IN MOTION. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT SPEED AS IT HAS HAPPENS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND ON ONE OCCASION WHEN I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF STOPPING FOR A RED LIGHT. THE LAST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED TODAY, BUT IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE IT DOES HAPPEN LESS, MAYBE ONCE WEEKLY INSTEAD OF MULTIPLE TIMES DAILY WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARM OUTSIDE.

DEALER IDENTIFIED FUSE #27 MELTED CAUSING STALLING AND POTENTIAL TO OVERHEAT CIRCUIT CAUSING AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. NOT COVERED UNDER FORD CERTIFIED PRE OWNED WARRANTY FOR POWERTRAIN ETC. VEHICLE STALLED IN TRAFFIC AND FAILED TO RESTART UNTIL AFTER THIRD ATTEMPT..

THIS IS NOT A DEFECTIVE GLASS OR FRAME ISSUE. THIS IS STRICTLY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE ON THE DEFROSTER. FROM WHAT I'VE LEARNED ABOUT IT, IT SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, NOT JUST FREAK COINCIDENCE. IF MORE PEOPLE LIVED IN COLDER CLIMATES THERE WOULD BE MORE COMPLAINTS. FRIDAY DEC. 16, 2016, AROUND 8 PM. I STARTED MY FORD F150 AND TRIED TO TURN REAR DEFOGGER ON. HIGH THAT DAY WAS 32, LOW 22. AT THAT TIME OF DAY I WOULD EXPECT IT WAS CLOSER TO 22 THAN 32. THE INDICATOR LIGHT LIGHT FOR THE DEFROSTER FLASHED ON, THEN WENT OUT. I TRIED AGAIN, THIS TIME IT STAYED ON FOR 15 OR 20 SECS. I BACKED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND WHEN SHIFTER FROM REVERSE TO FORWARD I NOTICED INDICATOR LIGHT WAS OFF AGAIN. I DROVE 50 TO 100 YARDS WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP. THE STREET IN MY SUBDIVISION...

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70MPH / 6TH GEAR. MY TRUCK SHIFTED ON IT'S OWN ( I COULD TELL BY THE DASHBOARD GEAR INDICATOR) INTO 1ST GEAR. THIS CAUSED MY REAR TIRES TO LOCK UP AND PUT MY VEHICLE INTO A SKID. *TR

WAS DRIVING VEHICLE AT 55MPH HEARD A LOUD BANG. SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION! THE SOUND STARTLED ME ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT, THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE WINDOW WAS ON FIRE. NOT REALIZING WHAT WAS HAPPENING I ATTEMPTED TO POUR WATER ON IT. IT CONTINUED TO BURN, THEN I QUICKLY TOOK A RAG FROM INSIDE THE TRUCK AND BEGAN TO TRY AN PUT OUT THE FIRE. BETWEEN THAT WATER ,RAG AND A SCREW DRIVER THE FIRE WAS FINALLY OUT. THE FIRE THAT WAS BURNING WAS VERY ODD IN NATURE NOTHING I HAD EVER SEEN BEFORE. I IMMEDIATELY LOOKED THE INCIDENT UP ONLINE AND SAW THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED HUNDREDS OF TIMES FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS FULLY AWARE BUT WILL NOT COVER IT UNLESS ENTIRE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS TOTALLY A DANGER TO SOCIETY! THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN...

AFTER SPEAKING WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY I THOUGHT I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT ON HERE AS WELL. MY HUSBANDS 2012 FORD F150 POWER STEERING SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, IT APPEARS HIS IS BY FAR NOT THE ONLY ONE. APPARENTLY OTHER MODELS OF THE SAME YEAR HAVE HAD RECALLS BUT NOT THE F150. I WAS TOLD GO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND FIXED AND IF WE ISSUE A RECALL, YOU MIGHT GET A REFUND. $2200 AND WE CAN GET IT CHECKED OUT AND FIXED IF THEY SEE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT AN IN AND OUT SERVICE AND ITS VERY DISAPPOINTING A COMPANY THAT HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE 1903 HAS TURNED TO SUCH POOR QUALITY IN SERVICE. EVERYONE NEEDS TO FILE A COMPLAINT SO THEY WILL STOP TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE LOYALTY OF THE CUSTOMERS. *TR

FUEL PUMP FUSE #27 MELTED CAUSING ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN AND LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES.

OUR TRANSMISSION IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL MENTIONED. WE ARE TRAVELING WITH A 2 YEAR OLD AND I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT FORD DOES NOT HAVE A FIX TO THIS PROBLEM THIS USA VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE
