I NEED TO REPORT FAILURE FIXING MY CAR RECALL NAMED *Faulty door Latch HARVARD FORD TEXTED ME TO RAKE MY CAR TO GET DONE BUT THEY DID A BAD JOB REPAIR INSTEAD OF REPLACE RECALL PART THEY DIDNT THEY DID CUT OUT WIRE HARNESS INSTEAD .Therefore THAT DAMAGED TYE AUTO NOW REVERSE CAM SCREEN IS NOT WORKING .TYE DOORS OPEN ITSELF WHILE IM DRIVING IT .DASH Board IS NOT ALSO WORKING IM FILLING A COMPLAINT AGAINST HARVARD FORD DEALERSHIP THE SOLUTION zI need is the following they need to REPLACE ALL COMPLETE NEW WIRE HARNESS ASAP.ALDI NEW REVERSE CAM AND SCREEN .IM ATTACHED ALL PROOF OF THE DAMAGE ..
The trucks horn and hazard lights contiunsley goes off anytime it rains. We can be driving down the road and the truck will start going haywire, lights flashing horn won't shut off . There's been times when the truck itself wouldn't turn off even after removing the key . It's very bad wiring problem with this truck.
Both rear taillights fill up with water and shorts out the light bulbs. This makes the brake lights and turn lights non-functional. The taillights were replaced with OEM Ford parts and the new ones leaked as the previous ones. The water in the taillight assemblies could short out the wiring harness and the computer tied to it. The corrosion and rust on the wiring harness could cause fault codes up and down the wiring harness. Research online shows this is a common problem in late model Ford F-150. This problem must be fixed by Ford.
I'm writing in concern about my 2016 F150 brake lights. This concern is due to the rear break light assembly is breaking for no reason. I am on my third set of break light assembly. The driver and passenger side rear break light assembly keeps breaking on its own. There have been no accidents involving the rear end of the truck . It's becoming a safety concern . Looking to see if any other incidents have been reported. Please see attached photos of the most recent break light assembly and take note when the break light assembly clips into the truck the mounts are completely broken . The plastic where the screws would be going from the bed of the truck are severely cracked.
I have had two problems worked on by my dealer and neither of them were fixed. The first problem is a leaky oil pan which they attempted to repair the leak 3 times but it still leaks. This may not be a safety recall but I do feel like it is a hazard and I would bet there are probably 1/2 of the 2015-2017 Ford F150 owners with the 2.7 engine with the same problem. If nothing else I would say this is a environmental issue. The second problem I have reported to my dealer is the very poor vision with the back up camera at night. I had to leave my vehicle with the dealer overnight to have the problem looked at but they were not able to fix the problem and did say the night vision is not good.
ELECTRIC SYSTEM WENT DOWN, NO LIGHTS,TURN SIGNALS,HORN WIPERS, ETC. (RADIO KEPT WORKING) ENGINE STARTED AND DROVE HOME VERY CAREFULLY
THE PASSENGER SIDE LED HEADLIGHT FIRST BEGAN TO FLICKER 2 MONTHS AGO. HEADLIGHT WOULD BE ON AND THEN SUDDENLY GO OFF. THEN THE PROBLEM SWITCHED TO THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT. NOW, SOMETIMES BOTH LIGHTS GO OFF. I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PEOPLE FLASH ME AT NIGHT INDICATING THAT MY LOW BEAMS ARE STILL TO BRIGHT FOR THE OTHER DRIVERS.
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 '.
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...
VERY POOR TAIL LIGHTS. THE TAIL LIGHTS ARE ONLY VISIBLE AT A SMALL AREA AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY THE POLICE FOR NO TAIL LIGHTS. VERY POOR DESIGN ON THIS MODEL.
MOISTURE IN HEADLIGHTS . MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT.
THE HEAD LIGHTS ON BOTH DIM AND BRIGHT DO NOT SHINE AHEAD FAR ENOUGH TO SAFELY SEE AT NIGHT. I HAVE FRIENDS WHO HAVE 2015 MODEL YEAR OF THE SAME TRUCK AND THEY HAVE COMPLAINED TO ME ABOUT IT. AND IN BAD WEATHER THE SITUATION IS MUCH WORSE.
2016 FORD F-150.
