2016 FORD F-150 Electrical System Problems

DRIVING DOWN ROAD. SMELL ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL. A MINUTE LATER THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODES INTO A MILLION PIECES. CALL DEALERSHIP. THEY SAY "WE'VE NEVER SEEN THAT PROBLEM BEFORE." TAKE IT TO WINDOW REPAIR SHOP. "OH WE SEE THIS WITH F150S SEVERAL TIMES PER WEEK." THEY TELL ME ITS DUE TO THE REAR DEFROST NOT AUTOMATICALLY TURNING OFF. I HAD TURNED IT ON A WEEK BEFORE TO DEFROST THE REAR WINDOWS. I HAD NOT TURNED IT ON THE DAY IT EXPLODED. FORD KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE. OTHERWISE, WHY WOULD ONE SMALL WINDOW REPAIR PLACE SEE THIS SEVERAL TIMES/WEEK?

I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROSTER & THE CABIN STARTED SMOKING. I PULL OVER TO GET OUT TO BREATHE, ONE MINUTE LATER THE BACK WINDSHIELD SHATTERS COMPLETELY.

IT IDLES ROUGH AT STOP LIGHT SOMETIMES SHUTS DOWN ,RADIO SCREEN IS BLANK SOMETIMES W RADIO OR PHONE CALL. ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL ENOUGH TO MAKE ME NAUSEOUS. THE COMPUTER READS NO CODES. THIS HAPPENS EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS, IT HAS BEEN AT 2 DIFFERENT SHOPS UP TO WEEKS AT A TIME THEY HAVE CHANGED SEVERAL PARTS BUT NONE HAVE FIXED IT.

RADIO/AUDIO DOES NOT WORK INTERMITTENTLY ON 2016 F150 PLATINUM SYNC SYSTEM. THIS IS WIDELY NONE PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS AND FORD IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS RELATED TO NHTSA ID #10091432. FORD TSB #SSM 45945. THIS WAS A $70,000 AND FORD IS ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX A SIMPLE RADIO ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HER HUSBAND WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30-40 MPH, 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL BURNING ODOR COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER EXITED THE VEHICLE AND OPENED THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THERE WERE FLAMES. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. THE POLICE WAS CALLED, THEY EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF A REPORT WAS FILED ON THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT. THE INSURANCE COMPANY DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BACK IN FEBRUARY 2019 UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V568000 (SEAT BELTS, STRUCTURE) BY THE DEALER (DAVID MCDAVID FORD FORT WORTH, 300 W LOOP 820 S, FORT WORTH, TX 76108). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AFTER...

REAR TAILGATE OPENS ON IT'S OWN WHILE DRIVING.

TAILGATE OPENS BY ITSELF. HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST ONCE (THAT I KNOW OF BECAUSE I HAVE A BED CAP ON THAT HAS HELD IT IN PLACE). THE ONE TIME I NOTICED IT I WAS TOWING A TRAILER AND WAS FORTUNATE THAT THE TAILGATE DID NOT GET WEDGED BETWEEN THE TRAILER JACK ON A TURN. I HAVE NOW NOTICED THAT THE TAILGATE WILL OPEN AND THE LATCH MECHANISM WILL CONTINUE TO FIRE EVEN AFTER THE TAILGATE IS DOWN,

REAR DEFOGGER ON SLIDING REAR WINDOW HAS BECOME COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED. POOR DESIGN. WHEN AUTOMATICALLY OPENING SLIDING REAR WINDOW, THE DEFOGGER MECHANISM GETS CAUGHT ON REAR SEAT EVENTUALLY, THIS LEAD TO THE REAR DEFOGGER DISCONNECTING AND BREAKING OFF FROM HIS HOUSING.

TRUCK HAS RE-OCCURRING FREQUENT EPISODES OF CENTER CONTROL PANEL DOES NOT FUNCTION - WHEN THIS OCCURS- RADIO DOES NOT WORK - NO HEATER -WINDOW DEFROSTER OR A.C / WINDOWS CAN NOT BE ROLLED UP OR DOWN - AIR BAG INDICATOR IS NOT WORKING - SO DON'T KNOW IF THE AIR BAGS WOULD DEPLOYED IF AN ACCIDENT SHOULD OCCUR .THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TO 1 DEALER WHICH SAID IT WAS A SOFT WEAR ISSUE AND CLAIMED TO FIX IT .. LASTED LESS THAN 50 MILES AND BACK TO SQUARE ONE ,, SITTING AT THE SECOND DEALER WHICH STATES IT NOT DOING IT NOW ,, SO COME AND PICK IT UP , THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTICS AND NO DEFAULT CODES WERE FOUND . THIS IS NOT RESOLVING THE ISSUE . IF YOU CANT TELL ME WHAT YOU DID TO FIX IT ..THE ISSUE REMAINS UNRESOLVED .. A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ALL OCCUPANTS...

MY WIFE LEFT WORK AROUND 445 PM ON 12/27/18, WHEN SHE STARTED THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD (INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ALONE WITH THE RADIO DISPLAY) DO NOT COME ON(TOTAL BLACKOUT), THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME(2 TIMES PRIOR TO THIS DATE) THIS HAS HAPPEN TO HER BUT WE HAVE NOTICE THIS OCCURRING DURING COLD WEATHER PERIODS. SO MY WIFE DROVE ABOUT 4 MILES THINKING THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON, WHICH THEY DID NOT, SO SHE PULLED INTO A BUSINESS PARKING LOT, PARKED THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT OFF FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES. SHE THEN TURNED ON THE VEHICLE AT WHICH TIME ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 FORD F-150. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ON VACATION, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE CONTACT'S CHILD WAS AT HOME, SAW THE VEHICLE ON FIRE, AND CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE CONTACT'S INSURANCE COMPANY DEEMED THE VEHICLE TOTALED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHILE DRIVING THE INTERIOR INSTRUMENT LIGHTS SUDDENLY COME ON PARK BRAKE, 4X4, AIR BAG, TRACTION,ABS, ADVANCE TRAC, AND STEERING ASSIST. DURING THIS PROCESS THE BRAKES ENGAGE & THEN YOU CAN HEAR THE SCRUBBING SOUND OF THE BRAKES.THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. I'VE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE 3 TIMES, AFTER A MONTH OF DIAGNOSTIC TESTING & ROAD TESTING THE STEERING SYSTEM FAILED ON THE SERVICEMAN WHILE DRIVING IT. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WANT TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO ME WITHOUT MAKING ANY REPAIRS BECAUSE IT HAS NOT RE INITIATED THIS PROCESS IN THE LAST 3 DAYS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND ANY OTHER VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. FORD HAS INFORMED ME THAT IF THE STEERING GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING CALL ROADSIDE TO BRING IT BACK. TOTAL DISREGARD FOR MY SAFETY AND OR ANYONE ELSE. THIS EVENT OCCURS WHILE DRIVING, IT ALSO SHOWS THESE READINGS...

FREEZING DOOR LATCHES CAUSING THE DOOR NOT TO STAY SHUT IN COLD TEMPERATURES OR OPEN THE DOOR CAN FLY OPEN BECAUSE YOU THINK THAT IT IS SHUT WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE DOOR LOSING PERSONAL BELONGINGS AND IF A OCCUPANT IS NOT SEATBELTED FLYING OUT OF THE VEHICLE THE DOORS ON THESE TRUCKS WILL NOT LATCH WHEN YOU SHUT THE DOOR THEY BOUNCE BACK OPEN AND THEN SOMETIMES YOU THINK THEIR LATCHED AND THEY'RE NOT THEN TAKING A TURN AND THE DOOR SWINGS OPEN FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM THEY HAVE PUT OUT TSB'S AND FSA IN ORDER TO TRY TO REPAIR IT WITH NO SUCCESS I PERSONALLY HAVE HAD MY TRUCK IN THE SHOP FOR THIS ISSUE 5 TO 6 TIMES WITH NO FIX THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARES MY KIDS THAT ARE INSIDE THE BACK OF MY TRUCK WHEN THEIR DOOR...

HAD A FIRE START IN THE REAR SEAT AREA WHILE THE TRUCK WAS WARMING UP IN THE REMOTE START MODE . THE REMOTE START WAS FACTORY INSTALLED BY FORD . THE TRUCK WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS

BACK IN NOVEMBER 2018 I HAD MY FIRST FAULT. MY BRAKE FLUID LOW SENSOR CAME ON. IT WAS INTERMITTENT AT FOR ABOUT 10 MILES AND THAN WENT AWAY. DID NOT ANOTHER ISSUE UNTIL MID DECEMBER. THE LIGHT CAM BACK ON AND OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY, IT DID NOT GO OFF. I THEN DISCONNECTED THE THE SENSOR SO THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE DINGING ALL THE TIME. I ALSO MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY CHECKED THE CODES AND FOUND NOTHING. KEPT IT FOR TWOS AND RETURNED IT SAYING THEY CAN NOT FIND A PROBLEM AND TO BRING IT BACK WHEN THE PROBLEM COME BACK. YESTERDAY, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON INTERMITTENT AND I GOT SOME VIDEO OF IT THIS TIME. IT ONLY ACTED UP FOR A SHORT TIME BEFORE GOING AWAY AGAIN. THIS MORNING I WENT...

THE COMPLETE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT OUT. THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED WERE THE HEAD LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS THE DEALER FIXED IT BUT DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT. ON A HIGHWAY ABOUT 40 MPH

I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK TO DEALER FOR MANY MULTIPLE ISSUES INVOLVING ELECTRICAL SINCE APPROXIMATELY 6600 MILES BEGINNING WITH SHAKING WHEN I SLOWED DOWN WITHOUT UTILIZING BRAKES. SINCE THEN I'VE BEEN AT THE DEALER WITH MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHERE TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND ALL LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING AND VERY UNSAFE. WHEN I WOULD ATTEMPT TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN I WOULD PROCEED TO CROSS OPPOSING LANES AND VEHICLE WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND ALMOST WAS STRUCK ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. VEHICLE HAS ALSO OVER ACCELERATED VERY EARLY IN OWNERSHIP. MOST RECENTLY AND I PICKED UP MY TRUCK AND A WEEK LATER SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT CREATE A GREAT DANGER TO MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHER MOTORISTS. CERTAINLY I CANNOT BE THE ONLY PERSON WHO LITERALLY AS OF THE FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER...

FIRE AND LOTS OF SMOKE INSIDE MY TRUCK WHEN I USED MY REMOTE START INSIDE MY GARAGE ...DROPPED BACK SEAT, PULLED CARPET BACK AND WITNESS AND RECORDED A BURNT WIRE HANGING DOWN ACROSS REAR WINDOW THAT KEPT BURNING AND NEVER STOPPED/POPPED A FUSE OR RELAY UNTIL I SHUT DOWN THE REMOTE START. FORD DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE REAR DEFROSTER THAT AUTOMATICALLY TURNS ON WHEN USING REMOTE START ...REPLACED ENTIRE BACK WINDOW AND WIRE HARNESS SPLIT COST WITH FORD NOT UNDER WARRANTY '.

I WAS DRIVING AND THERE WAS THE SMELL OF BURNING ELECTRONICS AND MY TRUCK CABIN FILLED WITH SMOKE. I PULLED OVER, AND SAW THE DEFROSTER ON THE REAR WINDOW WAS SMOKING. I EXITED THE VEHICLE, OPENED MY DOORS TO LET THE SMOKE OUT, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD AN EXPLOSION LIKE A GUN SHOT AND THE REAR GLASS GLASS SHATTERED.

PURCHASED USED 2016 F-150 IN OCT 2017. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE TAILGATE WOULD RANDOMLY OPEN WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. POWER TAILGATE WOULD ALSO OPEN WHEN KEY FOB WAS USED TO LOCK VEHICLE. TAIL LIGHTS WOULD ALSO ILLUMINATE BRIGHTLY AS IF BRAKES WERE APPLIED WHEN THEY WERE NOT WHEN VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. OTHER TIMES TAIL LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF WHEN VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. WHEN COMPUTER WAS SCANNED NO TROUBLE CODES WERE FOUND. EVENTUALLY AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO BMW DEALERSHIP IN SPOKANE WA WHERE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WENDLE FORD IN SPOKANE WA. AT WENDLE FORD TECHNICIANS FOUND EXTREMELY FRAYED WIRING HARNESS IN AREA AT REAR OF TRUCK WHERE BED AND FRAME MEET. WENDLE TECH'S SAID THAT THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE / DEFECT BEFORE, AND WHEN CHECKING WITH FORD CORPORATE THERE WERE NO SERVICE BULLETINS REFERENCE THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. THIS...

MOMENTS AFTER TURNING ON MY CAR AND THE HEATER, MY KIDS STARTED COMPLAINING OF A STRONG BURNING SMELL. WE DROVE THE 5 MINUTES TO SCHOOL, THEN I DROVE 5 MINUTES HOME. BY THE TIME I ARRIVED HOME, MY BACK WINDOW WAS CRACKED AND STARTING TO BREAK AND THERE WAS A VERY STRONG BURNING SMELL. YOU COULD ALSO HEAR A CRACKLING SOUND NEAR THE BACK WINDOW. THIS WAS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

DRIVING ON HWY AT 70 MPH USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ALL OF A SUDDEN IT APPLIED THE BRAKES. FEW DAYS LATER IT DID AGAIN ON HWY NOTHING AROUND ME. STOPPED USING IT AFTER SECOND TIME. LUCKY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME. THEN AFTER I GOT TO MY DISINATION THE NEXT MORNING STATER MY TRUCK FIRST I NOTICED NO POWER TO THE FRONT DRIVER & PASSANGER WINDOWS THEN NO A/C / CLIMATE CONTROL, NO MIRROR CONTROL SO STARTED DRIVING IT THEN NOTICED TIRE WARNING LIGHT ON BUT WOULDN'T SHOW THE TIRE PRESSURES LOOKED AT TIRES AND LOOKED LIKE THEY WHERE FINE. WHEN LEAVING STORE WAS BACKING UP AND ALMOST HIT A CAR MY WARNING SENSOR DIDN'T GO OFF NOW I NOTICED THAT ALL OF MY SAFETY DEVICES ON THIS TRUCK WAS NOT WORKING. NOW I'M WONDERING IF MY AIRBAGS ARE ACTIVE. DROVE BACK HOME FROM VIRGINIA TO TENNESSEE ABOUT 6 HR...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE STALLING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND RESTART THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DUVALL CHEVROLET (464 US-441, CLAYTON, GA 30525, (877) 818-7723) TO BE DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT HE WAS NOT PROVIDED WITH THE RESULTS OF THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK STRONG ELEC SMELL AND REAR WINDOW EXPLODED SOUNDED LIKE GUN WENT OFF SHATTERING WINDOW

HORN NOT WORKING. I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2016 FORD F-150 IN 2016. I AM THE FIRST AND ONLY OWNER AND I NOTICED 2 DAYS AGO MY HORN ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING WHEN I PRESS ON THE HORN BUT IT WILL SOUND WHEN I HIT MY ALARM BUTTON ON MY KEY FOB. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS, I CHECKED ALL THE FUSES AND THEY ARE WORKING AND HAVE A CURRENT RUNNING THROUGH THEM. AFTER SOME RESEARCH (WITHIN GOOGLE AND F-150 FORUMS) A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS AND HAVING TO REPLACE THEIR CLOCK SPRINGS.

IN ABOUT JANUARY OF 2017, WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, MY TRUCK STARTED EXPERIENCING IRREGULAR FUNCTION OF THE SYNC III SYSTEM. IN ABOUT MARCH OF 2017 THE SYSTEM STOPPED FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AT ANY TIME. AT THAT TIME IT HAD ABOUT 37,000 MILES ON IT. BY THE TIME I COULD GET IT TO THE FORD DEALER IT HAD ABOUT 39,000 MILES. FORD DENIED ANY OBLIGATION TO REPAIR. SOME OF THE MAJOR REASONS I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WERE TO ABILITIES OF THE SYNC III SYSTEM SUCH AS: (1) THE GPS MAP SYSTEM AND THE ABILITY TO INPUT DESTINATIONS AND RECEIVE DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS, (2) THE HANDS FREE BLUE TOOTH TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS, (3) THE BACKUP CAMERA, AND THE TOUCH SCREEN MENU. ALL OF THESE WERE IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURES. NONE OF THEM WORK AND FORD WANTED $1,500.00 TO REPLACE THE "APIM" MODULE, WHICH PURPORTEDLY WOULD MAKE IT WORK AGAIN. IN ADDITION, WHILE BACKING IN TO A...

WHILE DRIVING TRUCK LOSES POWER AND THE HILSIDE ASSIST ERROR COMES ON. YOU CAN'T PRESS THE GAS TO GO YOU HAVE TO COAST AND PULL OVER AND TURN THE TRUCK ON AN OFF FOR IT TO START AND WORK AGAIN. HAPPENS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS. I AM TOLD IT IS A BAD THROTTLE BODY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THERE WERE ABNORMAL ROARING AND KNOCKING SOUNDS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HIGHWAY FORD (18982 JOHNNIE B HALL MEMORIAL HWY, DERIDDER, LA 70634, (337) 462-5497) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A LOOSE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT THAT WAS NOT SEATED CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000. *TT

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 DISABLES THE AIRBAGS OF THE VEHICLE, CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT AS WELL AS TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAILURE ALONG WITH OTHER SAFETY FEATURES. THE SEATS NO LONGER RETRACT OR MOVE FORWARD WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED/SHUTOFF. THE KEY FOB INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT LOCK THE DOORS OF THE VEHICLE & THE ALERT ON THE TRUCK SAYS KEY NOT FOUND. WITH THE WARM TEMPERATURES AND NO WAY TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS OR TURN ON THE AC...

THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED ELECTRONICALLY ON SEVERAL INSTANCES. GENERALLY THE CENTER CONTROL PANEL WILL NOT COME ON WHICH MEANS THE RADIO DOES NOT WORK. OTHER TIMES THE FAN BLOWER WILL ALSO NOT COME. IN THE WORST INSTANCE, NONE OF THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON NOR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO BE ABLE TO KNOW HOW FAST I AM DRIVING, TEMPERATURE, ALERTS, OR ANYTHING THAT NEEDS POWER OTHER THAN TO START/DRIVE THE TRUCK. I ALSO NOTED WHEN I SHIFTED GEARS ON THE TRANSMISSION, IT DID NOT INDICATE WHAT GEAR/DRIVING MODE THE VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY IN. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON NO LESS THAN A HALF DOWN INSTANCES. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE AS IT IS INTERMITTENT SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT. IT HAS NOT OCCURRED AFTER EVERYTHING IS ALREADY OPERATIONAL WHILE DRIVING, ONLY AT STARTUP/IGNITION POINT. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RESET IT MULTIPLE...

WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT A SPEED OF 80 MPH, MY 2016 F-150 ECO BOOST WITH 50,000 MILES WENT INTO LIMP MODE DUE TO A FAULTY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY CAUSING ME TO LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND WORRYING FOR MY FAMILY'S LIFE AS I WAS DECELERATING ON A BUSY 4 LANE FREEWAY TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO PULL OVER WITHOUT BEING SMASHED.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON FREEWAYS WITH ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ENABLED, IF THE VEHICLE APPROACHES A VEHICLE IN AN ADJACENT LANE (TYPICALLY A LARGER VEHICLE LIKE A TRUCK WITH A TRAILER, SEMI, OR TANKER) THE COLLISION AID ACTIVATES AND HEAVILY APPLIES THE BRAKES. IF SOMEONE IS FOLLOWING CLOSE BEHIND ME, AS HAS HAPPENED IN AT LEAST 4 INSTANCES, THE INDIVIDUAL WILL NEED TO STOP AND MAKE AN EMERGENCY MANEUVER TO AVOID COLLIDING. IN BOTH CASES, THE BRAKING ONLY LASTED MOMENTARILY BUT WAS ENOUGH TO REDUCE THE VEHICLES SPEED 20-30 MPH DURING THAT TIME. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY FORD BUT THEY HAVE SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO. FOR THE TIME BEING, WE KEEP THIS FEATURE DISABLED UNTIL FORD CAN GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR PREVIOUS YEARS BUT OURS IS NOT INCLUDED. BECAUSE OF THIS FORD HAS SAID THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN...

ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME EXPERIENCE AS INCIDENT NUMBERS 11090030, 11063919, AND 11048673. THERE MAY BE OTHERS, BUT, I DIDN'T GO ANY FURTHER. I WAS DRIVING ON A BRIDGE WITHOUT ANY SAFETY SHOULDERS AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER, "HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE" INDICATOR CAME ON, "SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC" INDICATOR CAME ON, AND "SEE MANUAL" INDICATOR CAME ON WITH THE WRENCH SYMBOL. AFTER NEARLY BEING REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR, I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO AN OFF RAMP AND PULL OVER. THE TRUCK WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I SHUT IT OFF AND THEN RESTARTED IT AND WAS ABLE TO GET BACK OVER THE BRIDGE BUT THEN THE SAME EXACT SCENARIO HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE OTHER SIDE. ON THE WAY HOME, IT HAPPENED A COUPLE MORE TIMES BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME. I SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT AT A FORD DEALER TO TAKE THE TRUCK IN ON MONDAY....

I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO AUTO FAIR FORD AND HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED WITH $100 EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE CAR IS A YEAR OLD. AFTER FIXING IT THEY WERE HAVING ISSUES WITH IT NOT STARTING AND CALLED FORD TO TROUBLE SHOOT THE ISSUE. TODAY 3/2/18 THEY CALLED TO SAY A MOUSE OR RODENT CHEWED THROUGH THE WIRING. I HAVE LIVED I'M MY HOME SINCE 1999 AND MANY CARS IN THE DRIVE WAY THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. MY BROTHER SAID THE WIRING IS SOY BASED. I CALLED LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE AND COMPREHENSIVE HAS A $500 DEDUCTIBLE. THEY WILL LOOK AT THE TRUCK 3/5/18 AT AUTO FAIR FORD IN MANCHESTER NH. I NOW HAVE TO PAY$600 TO A VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED LESS THEN 5 MONTHS TO AUTO FAIR FORD. SEEMS ODD THIS IS HAPPING ON A NEW VEHICLE

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.

ON JANUARY 22 2018 AT APPROXIMATELY 11:00 P.M., I STARTED MY TRUCK WITH THE REMOTE START, WHICH ACTIVATES THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER, AS NEEDED. ON MY 20 MILE RIDE HOME FROM WORK, MOSTLY FREEWAY DRIVING, I HEARD CRACKLING NOISES, AND I WAS WATCHING IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, MY ENTIRE REAR WINDOW SHATTERING, EXCEPT FOR THE CENTER POWER SLIDING PIECE. WHEN I GOT HOME, PIECES OF GLASS FELL INSIDE THE CAB AND BED WHEN I CLOSED THE DOOR. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, BUT THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR IT. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM FORCED TO PAY $500 DEDUCTIBLE FOR MY INSURANCE TO REPAIR IT, EVEN THOUGH I HAD PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILES ON IT NOW. RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I BELIEVE IT IS A DEFECT IN THE GLASS, CAUSING IT TO SHATTER WHEN THE DEFROSTER WARMS UP THE...

I HAVE TAKEN MY 2016 FORD F-150 IN TO HAVE THE RADIO FIXED THREE TIME, BECAUSE WHEN I GO TO START MY TRUCK THE RADIO DOESN'T POWER UP. IT HAS JUST A BLANK SCREEN. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, BUT FORD HAS REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE OVER THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD IS NOT ASSISTING ME IN RESOLVING THE PROBLEM AND I WAS TOLD BY THEM TO CONTACT YOU.

FIRST ALL THE STEERING WHEELS CONTROLS (INCLUDING TURN SIGNALS) DIDN'T WORK. THE NEXT TIME I STARTED THE TRUCK EVERYTHING WORKED AGAIN. THE FOLLOWING WEEK I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO LOCAL DEALER TO DETERMINE CAUSE. THEY SAID THERE COMMUNICATION ERRORS BUT DID SOME RE-PROGRAMMING.

IF IN THE EVENT I WAS IN TRAVELING IN COLD TEMPERATURES, I WOULD BE LOCKED IN MY VEHICLE CAUSE A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY TWO INFANTS AND WIFE AND I. SPOKE TO FORD MANUFACTURER AND FORD SERVICE DEPT, THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND THERE IS A BACK ORDER OF PARTS, SINCE JANUARY OF 2017, WHEN I STARTED HAVE ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE.
