2017 FORD F-150 Electrical System Problems

Used remote starter; about 2 minutes later my family entered the vehicle with my 2 small kids secured in their child seats in back seat. We left our home, made about 1-mile down the road when back window suddenly popped and shattered. Nothing struck or hit the window to break it. Tiny glass fragments blew onto my children and scared them. The plastic cover on the defroster connection mechanism on the rear center electronic sliding glass window also popped off and the one of the electronic metal connections is clearly broken loose on the mechanism also. No warning messages on dash/display. I did not turn on defroster and rear defroster light was not on at the time, but maybe came on automatically with remote start used. I submitted claim promptly with insurance. Have appointment with Service King for estimate and repair to be made. According to online forums, this unfortunate...

Vehicles rear passenger brake light does not work when hitting brakes but lights up when vehicle is on. The blinker does not work but the reverse light does. Vehicle has a short somewhere and has put me at risk of being rear ended by others and I have drivers on the road notifying me on the daily. My vehicle is covered under CPO (Certified Pre-Owned) and only has 46k miles and well taken care of. Ford has not inspected it due to an upfront cost that I am expected to pay. The vehicle did not warn me of any electrical failures. I was notified by a friend that it was not working.

About a month after purchasing the truck in April 2021 with About 35,000 on the truck when stopped at a traffic light the trucks auto stop/start kicked in and the vehicle would not restart and had to be pushed out of the road during rush hour. Since then the truck has been in the dealership atleast 5 times for this issue and has not been resolved. They keep giving the truck back saying they don't know

Check engine light on error code P2007 Runner control was replaced via Ford OEM PART #FR3Z 9J559 C Ran well for 2 days then stopped working.

Rear defroster started smoking during morning warm up using remote start. Rear windshield was shattered violently. Very dangerous situation to be in. The shattering happened during a drive.

The contact owned a 2017 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, smoke and heat were suddenly present inside the cabin of the vehicle. After exiting the vehicle the fire department was called to the scene and extinguished the flames. During the incident, the vehicle was destroyed and towed away. The contact indicated that the flames had started behind the front seats inside the cabin of the vehicle but the cause of the fire was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 47,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS NO POLICE OR FIRE REPORT, BUT BOTH ARRIVED AT THE SCENE. THE CONSUMER SUFFERED FROM 3RD DEGREE BURNS ON THE ARM.

I purchased this vehicle new in 2017 and since then I have had an intermittent issue with the rear camera when put into reverse. Either frozen image, static lines and yellow screen. When the image it frozen, it looks like its working but nothing in the screen is moving. If something is behind me I would not see it and think its clear. Ford has replaced the camera 1 time but I dont think thats the issue because I disconnected all the wires in the tail gate (where the camera is) and it still messes up. I have seen online a lot of other people with the same truck and same issue. here is a video of my issue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAx6haPQ8Ho

FORD F-150 MOON ROOF RAMP/GUIDE JAW (PART # FL3Z1651070B/FL3Z1651071B) STOPPED WORKING. THE MOON ROOF MALFUNCTIONS GETTING SUCK IN THE OPEN MODE, OR FAILING TO CLOSE PROPERLY IF AT ALL. MANY FORD OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE, TO THE POINT THAT THERE ARE VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET PERTAINING TO THIS MALFUNCTION. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GET THIS REPAIR FIXED AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP THE EMPLOYEES ADVISED ME THAT THEY SEE THIS ISSUE OFTEN, AND THAT THE GLASS SHATTERS AND BREAKS FROM THIS MALFUNCTION. I WAS QUOTED $400.00 TO REMEDY THE ISSUE, AND WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE DAY. THE ESTIMATED TIME TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR WAS FOUR HOURS.

THE FORD F-150 MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH HAS GONE BAD. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STAY ACTIVATED IN THE SLOWEST MODE. THIS OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW OF DRIVERS, AND IS DISTRACTING. THE PART NUMBER IS: FL3Z-13K359-AC. THIS MALFUNCTION IS AN ISSUE FOR 2015 MODELS AND NEWER. THERE ARE MANY VIDEOS ONLINE PERTAINING TO THIS MULTI FUNCTION SWITCH MALFUNTION.

ELECTRICAL : RADIO WILL RANDOMLY CUT OUT. TYPICALLY WHEN TRUCK STARTS RADIO WONT WORK. HAVE TO EITHER WAIT HOUR, OR DISCONNECT BATTERY. SEEMS LIKE TYPICAL ISSUE. SEATBELT : PASSENGER SEATBELT WONT RETRACT BACK. CAN HAND FEED THEN PULL OUT BY HAND. CALLED DEALER SAID 3 YEAR 60 THOUSAND FOR WARRANTY IM OVER 3 YEARS AND AT 71K MILES. PRICE OF ASSEMBLY WAS OVER $500. [XXX] OUTRAGEOUS FOR A SEATBELT. NO IDEA WHEN IT HAPPENED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE 2017 F-150 SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS INCLUDING; TAILGATE UNINTENDED OPENING, BLIS (BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM) FAILURES, CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT FAILURES AND REAR CAMERA BLUE SCREEN FAILURES. THESE FAILURES OCCUR AT A STATUS OF THE VEHICLE, EG. LOCKING THE DOORS, SHIFTING INTO GEAR, USE OF KEY FOB OR PROXIMITY SENSORS TO TAILGATE.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER LOCKS WILL FREEZE AND THEY WILL NOT CLOSE OR LOCK. VERY DANGEROUS.

MY VEHICLE BATTERY IS DEAD EVERY MORNING I TOOK IT TO TWO DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS AND THEY COULD NOT TELL ME THE ISSUE BUT STILL HAD TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS FEE. AT FIRST MY 17 FORD F150 WOULD MAKE ALMOST A JERKING NEXT DAY MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I REPLACED THE STARTER AND BATTERY AND THE VEHICLE STARTED AFTER THAT BUT THE NEXT MORNING DEAD AGAIN.

ADDING PHOTOS TO THE FIRST COMPLAINT

I LIVE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND THE WEATHER IS COLD. I STARTED MY FORD F150 TRUCK TODAY USING MY FORD PASS. THE TRUCK RAN FOR 15 MINUTES. WHEN I PREPARED TO LEAVE IN THE TRUCK I NOTICED THAT IT WAS COLD INSIDE. WHEN I LOOKED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, I REALIZED THE REAR SLIDING WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION I REALIZED THE WINDOW BLEW OUTWARD AND A YELLOW LINE X STICKER ON THE RIGHT REAR OF THE WINDOW HAD BURN MARKS ON IT. THE STICKER WAS DISCOLORED TO INDICATE THAT A LOT OF HEAT WAS DIRECTED TOWARD IT. THE WINDOW WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED AROUND THE OUTSIDE EDGE. ALSO, I LOCATED A COVER THAT HAD BLOWN OFF THE WIRES THAT RUN TO THE REAR DEFROSTER. IT APPEARS THAT THE REAR DEFROSTER RAN TO THE POINT THAT IT OVERHEATED THE GLASS AND CAUSED IT TO BLOW. I DISCOVERED THAT...

THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHUT DOWN AFTER GAS FILL UP. IT SEEMS LIKE THE VEHICLE HAS A VALVE SELENOID PROBLEM BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT ONLINE. IT IS A HAZARD BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE ALSO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ELECTRIC USB AND POWER PLUG TWICE. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALOT OF ELECTRIC/GAS RELATED ISSUES WHICH CAUSE IT TO TURN OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED TO INDICATE ANY WARNING LIGHTS WHEN THE VEHICLE WASS TURNED ON. THE CONTACT HAD TO WAIT FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OFF JUST FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESUME BACK TO NORMAL. JENKINS & WYNNE (2655 TRENTON RD, CLARKSVILLE, TN 37040, (931) 542-4886) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V053000 (POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,093.

DIGITAL CLUSTER MALFUNCTION, CAUSING SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE TO BOTH DISPLAY ZERO, LOSS OF POWER TO WINDOWS, LOSS OF PARKING BRAKE FUNCTION, BLACKED OUT BACKUP CAMERA, NO HEAT OR A/C. HIGHBEAMS STAY ON AND CANNOT BE SWITCHED TO LOW BEAMS. ALL HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS SHIFTED TO REVERSE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THAT SIMILAR VEHICLES WERE SUBJECTED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V053000 (POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOHNSON FORD (694 EAST ST, PITTSFIELD, MA 01201) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

AFTER LAST SYNC 3 UPDATE RESTARTED TRUCK AND TOUCHSCREEN FAILED TO WORK, OR HAVE THE GPS MAP SHOWS UP. CANNOT PROGRAM GPS FOR DIRECTIONS APIM FAILURE ONLY 41752 MILES ON TRUCK.

VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ITS ABILITY TO MONITOR THE BLINDSPOT TRAFFIC THE STABILITY AND TRACTION CONTROL WENT OFF TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FIELD ALONG WITH THE AIRBAG AND SEATBELT RESTRAINT. TAKE HIM TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A WIRE THAT RUNS BETWEEN THE SPARE TIRE AND BUMPER A TRAILER HITCH ASSEMBLY THAT OFTEN CHAFFS. THEY HAD REPLACE MANY RECENTLY. THE LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL HAPPENS TO ME DURING A RAIN STORM AND CAUSED ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. WHILE I REGAINED CONTROL AND PREVENTED HITTING A GUARD RAIL, IT WAS SERIOUS. THIS IS NO FAULT OF MY OWN IT'S AN INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY ISSUE, AND SAFETY CONCERN. AS A 1ST RESPONDER I DEPEND ON MY TRUCK, AND MUST PAY THE $500 TO REPAIR A BAD WIRING INSTALLATION ON A 2017 TRUCK, THAT COULD HAVE COST ME MY LIFE. *TR

VERY DANGEROUS WIRING DESIGN. WIRE HARNESS TOO CLOSE TO ENGINE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, TURBO - AS RESULT - MELTED WIRES. TIN FOIL DID NOT PROTECT FROM MELTING. HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON 75 INTERSTATE - VEHICLE LOOSES POWER STEERING, CRUISE CONTROL AND THROWS FAULTY OVERHEAT. CONTACTED MANUFACTURER ABOUT IT - WAS GIVEN RUN AROUND. *TR

UPON STARTING MY VEHICLE ON 2/1/20, HILL ASSIST WARNING, PARKING AID WARNING, ABS ICON, AIRBAG ICON, AND TRACTION CONTROL ICON ALL LIT UP. CALLED 2 DEALERSHIPS ON 2/3 AND WAS TOLD IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. ON 2/6/20, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING, NO IMPACT, WITH MY 11 YEAR OLD IN THE PASSENGER SEAT.

TAILGATE OPENS GOING DOWN THE ROAD, TAILGATE OPENS ANYTIME I UNLOCK THE DOORS, AND TAILGATE OPENS WHEN REMOTE IS NEAR TAILGATE WITH NO BUTTONS PUSHED.

F150 WITH ELECTRONIC TAILGATE RELEASE WILL RANDOMLY UNLOCK AND DROP OPEN. THIS IS HAPPENING AT LEAST 50% OF THE TIMES I USE MY TRUCK. I'VE HEARD THE TAILGATE RELEASE BE ACTIVATED WITH MY FOB KEY SETTING ON THE DASH BOARD, NO ONE TOUCHING IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY, 1/10/2020, AND THE SERVICE REP HEARD IT UNLOCK THE TAILGATE WHILE HE WAS HOLDING THE KEY FOB. HE INDICATED THERE IS A RECALL; HOWEVER, IT IS NOT FOR F150'S.. ONLY F250-450'S. WHAT REALLY SCARES ME THERE IS NO WARNING OR NOTIFICATIONS THE TAILGATE HAS DROPPED DOWN AND IS NOW OPEN. I ONLY KNOW WHEN I STOP AND SEE IT DOWN OR THE LOUD STEADY WARNING WHEN I PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE. SO FAR NOTHING HAS FALLEN OUT BUT THIS IS CLEARLY UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED/REPAIRED ASAP BY FORD. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHEN OPERATING ON BOTH CITY ROADS...

I HAD MY 2017 FORD F-150, 22,681 MILES, PARKED AT A KROGER GROCERY STORE. I STARTED THE IGNITION WITH THE KEY FOB AND LOADED MY SON. AFTER I GOT IN I HEARD MY SON COUGHING, SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AND REALIZED THERE WAS BLACK SMOKE WHEN SUDDENLY THE REAR WINDOWS BLEW OUT INCHES FROM HIS HEAD. I NEVER EVEN GOT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I REMOVED MY SON AND CALLED 911. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DISCOVERED THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST WIRE HAD SMOLDERED AND MELTED CAUSING HEAT AND THE COMBUSTION THAT AFFECTED THE WINDOWS IN THE COOL NIGHT TEMP. TOWED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE REAR DEFROSTER CONTACTS HAD COME LOOSE AND WAS THE CAUSE. THEY SUBMITTED PICS AND REPORT TO FORD TO AWAIT A DECISION IF THEY WILL COVER THE DAMAGE.

WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GOES BELOW FREEZING, THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE.

MOONROOF JAMMED. THE UPR WINDOW IS NOT CAPABLE OF OF SLIDING BACK. RARELY USED AND SUDDENLY DOESN'T WORK.

I'VE HAD TO REPAIR MY SUNROOF TWICE COSTING OVER $3800. I'VE ONLY OPENED THE SUNROOF MAYBE 20 TIMES IN 2 YEARS AND NOW THE MOTOR IS DEFECTED. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL FORD TECHS AND THEY SAY THEY SEE ISSUES WITH THE SUNROOF ALL THE TIME. I HAVE PERSONAL FRIENDS WHO HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THEIR SUNROOF SHATTERED. A RECALL INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO OCCUR PLEASE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2017 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AN AUTHORIZED PERSON WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 -50 MPH, THEY NOTICED SMOKE EMERGING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER EXITED THE VEHICLE AND IT SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT FIRE. THE HIGHWAY PATROL DISTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CONTACT CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER MOSSY FORD 4919 (4570 MISSION BAY DR, SAN DIEGO, CA 92109 (858) 273-7500) BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE HAD NOT BEEN DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,000.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A FORD TRUCK AND JUST A NORMAL DAY I WAS DRIVING AND THE TRUCK JUST POWER OFF I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A FORD SERVICE THEY TOLD ME I STILL HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY, THEY CHECK THE TRUCK AND TOLD ME THAT THE ISSUE WAS ELECTRICAL THROTTLE BODY SND THAT MY WARRANTY DOESN'T COVERED THAT MALFUNCTION, I THINK THAT A NEW TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 51 THOUSANDS MILES WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS MEANING THAT FORD JUST DON'T WANT TO COVERED WHAT THEY DON'T DO RIGHT

REAR WINDOW BLOW OUT. I TURNED ON MY VEHICLE THIS MORNING TO WARM UP. I TURNED ON THE DEFROSTERS AND WENT BACK INSIDE FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES. WHEN I CAME BACK OUTSIDE I COULD SMELL A ELECTRICAL TYPE BURNING SMELL. I AM A FIREFIGHTER AND AM FAMILIAR WITH THIS ODOR. NO SMOKE OR FLAMES EVER PRESENT/VISIBLE. I TURNED THEN SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD POP, REALIZING THAT BOTH SIDES OF MY REAR WINDOW HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING. NO ONE WAS IN THE VEHICLE AND I WAS THE ONLY ONE NEAR IT. NOTHING HIT THE WINDOW AND I HAD NEVER HAD THE SMELL IN MY TRUCK BEFORE.

TRAILER BLIND SPOT MONITOR IS TURNING ON AUTOMATICALLY DESPITE NO TRAILER BEING CONNECTED. DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TWO FIXES WITH NO RESOLUTION. WHEN TRAILER BLIND SPOT IS ENGAGED IT EMITS A FALSE BLIND SPOT MONITOR LIGHT, WHICH CAUSES UNCERTAINTY WHETHER IT IS SAFE TO MANEUVER OR NOT.

BACKUP CAMERA DOES NOT WORK - WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE, THE BACKUP CAMERA FAILS TO ACTIVATE. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY - SOMETIMES IT WILL HAPPEN THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN (AFTER BEING PARKED OVERNIGHT), SOMETIMES IT WILL HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AROUND (I.E. DRIVE FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, THEN PARK, THEN DRIVE AGAIN - THE CAMERA WILL FAIL TO ACTIVATE UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE). I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE DECEMBER 2017, AND FIRST NOTICED THE ISSUE ABOUT A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING. DEALER CLAIMS THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. COMMENTS POSTED ONLINE AT WWW.F150FORUM.COM SUGGEST THAT THIS MAY BE RELATED TO A FAILING APIM MODULE, AND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE.

MOONROOF BINDING UP. IT CONTINUES TO TRY AN OPEN FOR A FEW SECONDS WHICH COULD BIND UP MOTOR BURN IT OUT AS WELL AS POSSIBLE START A FIRE OR MELT PLASTIC. IT DOESNT EVEN OPEN IT JUST BINDS UP AN STOPS ALL THE TIME AN NOW DOESNT OPEN AT ALL. BEING ASE CERTIFIED AND KNOWING ENOUGH ABOUT ELECTRICITY THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE AS IT IT IS BINDING UP IF YOU CONTINUE TRYING TO USE IT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE AS WELL IF YOU ARE DRIVING AND GO TO USE IT MAY MAKE AN AWKWARD NOISE AND DISTRACT YOU FROM DRIVING AT THE TIME YOU TRY TO GET IT TO WORK. VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT THE TIME OF USE. AN THEN I TRIED IT STATIONARY AFTERWARDS AN THEN HAD TO DISCONNECT IT. HAVE YET TO FIX IT OR HAVE IT LOOKED AT...

WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE LOSES ALL ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE POWER WITHOUT WARNING, A COMPLETE FAILURE. HAD TOWED TO FORD SHOP AND COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED AND NO FAULT CODE WAS GENERATED. VEHICLE WAS RETURNED WITHOUT REPAIR. A FEW DAYS LATER, VEHICLE DIED AGAIN. NO ELECTRIC NO POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF ROAD. I AM I A WHEEL CHAIR AND COULD NOT GET OUT. RETURNED TO SHOP TODAY AND AM AWAITING THEM TO TRY TO RECREATE THE ISSUE BECAUSE NO WARNING LIGHTS FOR CODES ARE BEING GENERATED WHEN IT FAILS. THIS FAILURE COULD BE FATAL IF WITHIN AN INTERSECTION OR OTHER DANGEROUS SCENARIOS ARE PRESENT. LOSE OF POWER TO STEERING, BRAKES. ALL FUNCTIONS ARE LOST THAT ENGINE POWER AND ELECTRICAL POWER OPERATE>

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED TO ILLUMINATE AND WOULD NOT DISPLAY THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFTER POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT IN COLD WEATHER, THE FUEL GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER, WEATHER CONTROL, RADIO, AND ODOMETER WOULD FREEZE AND FAIL TO WORK. OCCASIONALLY, A "TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK, EMERGENCY BRAKE IS ON, SERVICE IS NEEDED" MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BAXTER FORD WEST DODGE (18505 CALIFORNIA STREET, ELKHORN, NE 68022, 855-494-0107) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 208,003. *DT*JB

DOOR LATCHES REPEATEDLY FREEZE DURING COLD WEATHER DESPITE HAVING BEEN IN FOR REPAIR SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW, INCLUDING A SERVICE CAMPAIGN DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THE DOOR LATCHES WILL EITHER FREEZE WHILE THE DOOR IS SHUT, PREVENTING THEM FROM OPENING, OR WILL FREEZE AFTER THE DOOR HAS BEEN OPENED, WHICH PREVENTS THEM FROM SECURELY LATCHING WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THEM. THIS PAST SATURDAY THE DOOR OPENED WHILE I WAS MOVING THE TRUCK IN THE DRIVEWAY, RESULTING IN ME FALLING PART-WAY OUT OF THE TRUCK WHILE IT WAS MOVING. THEY AGAIN FROZE THAT EVENING, CREATING A SITUATION WHERE I HAD TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED WITH MY LEFT ARM.

ON 9-24-18 MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT OUT, NO GAUGES WORKED INCLUDING WIPERS, BLINKERS, DEFROSTER. HAD TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY DID A MASTER RESET. GOT THE TRUCK BACK A LITTLE OVER A WEEK LATER. 7 DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED ALL THE GAUGES ALONG WITH WIPERS, BLINKERS AND DEFROSTER. THE RADIO WAS OUT BOTH TIMES BUT THAT WAS NOT THE SAFETY ISSUE. THIS TIME THE DEALER REPLACED A MODULE. GOT THE TRUCK BACK ON 10-12-18 AND IT IS WORKING AT THIS TIME. BOTH TIMES THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY. 1ST TIME WAS IN MY GARAGE AND THE 2ND TIME WAS IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT THAT I RUN WITH. .

WE ARE EXPERIENCING SEPARATE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES WITH OUR F-150: 1. THE CAPLESS GAS TANK SYSTEM CAUSES THE GAS SHUTOFF WHEN REFILLING TO NOT STOP AT 'FULL'. THIS CAUSES GAS TO SPRAY IN AN ARC FOR 3-4 SECONDS - COVERING BOTH PEOPLE AND THE GROUND WITH APPROX 16-24 OZ OF GAS. 2. THE FRONT DOORS, WHEN SUBJECTED TO FREEZING TEMPERATURES WILL OPEN BUT WILL NOT RECLOSE UNTIL THE LATCH MECHANISM IS C OMPLTWTELY DEFROSTED - APPROX 15 MINUTES. THIS MEANS THAT DURING THAT TIME THE DOORS ARE UNABLE TO BE CLOSED AT ALL. ADDITIONALLY, THE REAR VIEW CAMERA/DRIVER INFORMATION SCREEN IS 'SHORTING OUT', CAUSING THE CAMERA TO BE 'STUCK ON' OR THE INABILITY TO TOGGLE TO NAVIGATION OR FEATURES BEYOND THE MAIN SCREEN UNTIL A MINIMUM SPEED (APPROX 15-20 MPH) IS REACHED.

NO BREAK LIGHTS, BACKUP LIGHTS, PARKING LIGHTS, TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS IN REAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE, WHILE IDLING, THE VEHICLE LUNGED IN REVERSE AT APPROXIMATELY 8-10 MPH. A PEDESTRIAN WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE VEHICLE AND STOP THE ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HEMBORG FORD (1900 HAMMER AVE, NORCO, CA), BUT IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,500.

FORD F-150 DOOR LATCH WILL NOT LOCKS OR CLOSE PROPERLY IN COLD WEATHER AND FREEZING TEMPERATURES. USING A BUNGEE TO KEEP DOOR SHUT. DEALERSHIP SAID THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS THE MOST CURRENT RECALL PARTS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS CAN AND WILL BE A SAFETY HAZARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!!

MY DRIVERS DOOR DOES NOT "LATCH" WHEN I CLOSE IT. IT APPEARS THIS OCCURS WHEN BELOW FREEZING. I SEE FORUMS ABOUT BEING WET/FREEZING. MINE HAPPENS IN NORMAL COLD/NON WET CONDITIONS AS WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR SERVICE, THEY TOLD ME THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS COME BACK NEXT WEEK, I DID. THEY SAID THERE'S NO FIX AND THEY MIGHT WANT A WATER TEST. AT THIS POINT I HAVE NO INTENTION OF BEING INCONVENIENCED BY THEIR BLUNDERING AND GUESSING. I TOLD THEM TO CALL ME WHEN THEY HAVE A FIX. I SELL MERCEDES-BENZ PRODUCTS SO I EMPATHIZE WITH RECALLS HOWEVER I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED THAT I DRIVE TO WORK HOLDING MY DOOR SHUT. I HAVE READ MANY FRUSTRATING SITUATIONS CONCERNING THIS ON THE FORUMS. IT SEEMS THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2015. IT IS DISTURBING THAT FORD CAN'T COME UP WITH A DEPENDABLE SOLUTION IN...

I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISAUE AS FORD RECALL 17C01, NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 17V053000 WHERE IN COLD CLIMATES THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DOESN'T WORK UPON STARTING THE TRUCK. THIS RECALL IS FOR 2017 FORD F150S BUILT IN THE DEARBORN, MI PLANT, BUT WAS NOT EXTENDED TO MY 2017 FORD F150BUILT IN THE DEARBORN, MI PLANT. THIS ISSUES HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS.

THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THE TRUCK ROLLED TO A STOP. MEANWHILE, SEVERAL WARNING MESSAGES FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND SMOKE BEGAN POURING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I GOT OUT AND LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND SPARKS WERE PROFUSELY FLYING. I WALKED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE IGNITED WITHIN 5 SECONDS. THE ENTIRE INCIDENT OCCURRED WITHIN 10-15 SECONDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED.

THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, THE CROSS TRAFFIC AND BLIND SPOT SENSORS FAILED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. FORD TOLD THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE PARTS, BUT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE.

ENGINE STALLS AT STOP (AFTER LETTING UP ON BRAKE AND AUTO START STOP RE-STARTS THE ENGINE) FOLLOWED BY "HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE" ERROR FLASHES ALONG WITH OTHER BRAKE RELATED ERRORS; VEHICLE ENGINE WON'T TURN OVER/START UNLESS TRANSMISSION IS PUT BACK INTO PARK. UPON RESTARTING ALL ENGINE ERROR/FAULT MESSAGES ARE CLEARED AND THINGS SEEM BACK TO NORMAL. TODAY WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT 7 DAYS AGO. THIS IS DANGEROUS SHOULD IT HAPPEN ENTERING AN INTERSECTION. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO LIVERMORE FORD AND THEY SAID THAT SINCE IT IS INTERMITTENT WITHOUT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE IT.
