2010 F-150 with 5.4 L V-8 engine, during operation of the air conditioning system the passenger side floor board to include carpet and matting were soaked. Subsequent servicing by dealership found a faulty elbow and hose from air conditioning unit. Dealership replaced elbow and hose and re-plumbed the hose at a cost of approximately $300. Dealership noted that the elbow and hose were faulty on the invoice.
The truck is 6/22/14 lunging and the wrench light and then the check engine light came on today 6/22/14. The same thing happened last year and it was the throttle control sensor.
Sudden loss of power while driving down highway, narowly missed being in accident. Would not restart. Towed to dealership. As of this date unable to determine cause.
Ford F-150 truck caught fire while parked in the driveway. Fire started under the hood/dash board. Truck is destroyed. This is the second time the same Ford truck catches fire while being parked after about 20-30 min - first time it happens in Aug. 2010 causing $3,556.18 including $1,000 deductible paid.
I was driving down the highway around February 6th 2011 and my 2010 F150 stalled on me. I was able to crank it back up and keeping moving. This was not the first time this happened. It was the worst one seeing has how I was doing maybe 60. I took it to the Ford dealership and they said they could find a problem while driving the truck, so downloaded some new software to my computer and said that should fix the issue. On April 11th the same thing happened again, I was driving in a parking lot and my truck stalled. I wasn't able to crank the truck back up for almost 30 minutes. When I was able to start it back up there are a burning smell coming from the truck. I this time had the truck towed to Ford and spoke to them today and they stated they again found nothing wrong and couldn't recreate the problem. The have contacted Ford hq for answers. My worry is that I am going to get in a crash because of this problem. I have done some looking around on the internet and found a lot of people having this issue, and nothing seems to be getting done.

When declerating to a stop or stopped the engine will die. When I attempt a restart the engine will try to turn over for 10-15 seconds then stop. After 3 or 4 attemps and giving a little gas the truck will start. This has now happened 5 times to me in the past 2 weeks. I took the truck to Ford and they didnt return any codes so nothing repaired. They fit my truck with a recorder and I am suppose to press a button next time it dies. This seems to be a serious issue as I have seen dozens of posts with the same issue.
Engine stalls at random speeds after braking or coming to a stop. Most recently while braking for a turn, right hand fork at about 35 mph, engine stalled losing power steering and power brakes. Very dangerous situation and common from what I have found on the internet. All 3 local Ford dealers act like they have never heard of the problem. I am sure that is what they have to say, because they do not know how to correct it, but this is a very serious situation. It is a 2010 "new" truck and I wont let my wife drive it with the kids because it is dangerous.

On or about July 15th 2010 I purchased my Ford F150 brand new with 3 miles on it. No problems occurred until December 31st 2010. Heading North on a 3 lane highway the truck just "shut off"..died in the middle of heavy traffic. I immediately attempted to restart and would not restart until 3rd attempt. I looked at the gas gage, it read 3/4 full. This did not reoccur until January 3rd, 2011. The same as before stalled with full tank of gas.third time occurred January 19th, 2011 with my wife driving and 2 minor children in the back seat. This again happened stalled on highway in heavy traffic, with full tank of gas. State trooper with highway patrol had to stop traffic and push the truck to side of the road and noted the full tank of gas. Towed to Ford who refused to fix this vehicle claiming that this defect needed to reoccur with a flight recorder attached to it, but Ford dealership refused to drive it stating"it was a liability to their buisness and could cause injury to the service department staff"...they then refused to keep it any longer and delivered it to our home with the serious safety defect still untouched!
Truck has a warning light on that looks like a wrench. Truck has been stalling while driving, causing the truck to lose all power and stop dead in the middle of road. Ford tech's say they cant find anything wrong and Ford refuses to help. I am just waiting to get in an accident so I can sue Ford for not acting on this safety issue after having the truck in for repair four times with no help.
We have experienced six different instances since December where the engine would completely shut down while in motion. Range of speed at time of incident has been between 5 - 40 mph. On January 23, 2011, while driving at 40 mph down a windy hill, the vehicle flashed the wrench light then completely shut down causing a loss of power steering. As a result, I had a near miss of a head on collision with another vehicle in the oncoming lane as the truck I was driving veered into the oncoming traffic because I was unable to immediately regain control. Typically the truck can be put into park then turned back on but not in this case. The latest stall of the engine occurred on February 9, 2011 while making a turn in a grocery store parking lot. The vehicle was towed to a dealer on January 23, 2011 and the dealer indicated that the could not duplicate the problem and the computer reading did not show faulty equipment. In addition, I am experience a problem with the fuel gauge. Even after completely filling up the vehicle, the gauge does not read as full. There are functional problems with this vehicle. As a mother with two children who is the primary driver of the vehicle, I am terrified of the potential for a fatal accident to occur. There are numerous web page/blogs where drivers across the country have described these same issues. Ford needs to do something.
While driving the wrench warning light comes on, followed by the gas pedal not working and then the engine stall out. This all happens while the truck is in motion. This has happened at 30 mph, 60mph and while accelerating through an intersection. This is an extremely dangerous situation. I have taken it to Ford four times now and they "cant duplicate it" so it has not been repaired yet.
While driving toward a busy intersection the vehicle lost all power! including brakes and steering! I rolled out into the major highway causing vehicles to have to swerve to miss me! this is not safe!! the emergency lights would not work, nor would anything else on the vehicle. After about a minute the power came back on to the truck as if nothing had happened. I have 2 babies that ride with me and will not take a chance of this happening again! the truck is now at the dealership and will not be picked up until the problem is fixed. I have also contacted and retained a lawyer should this major problem become an issue for me. This is obviously a vehicle defect that can be closely compared to the Toyota recall! someone is going to get killed with this problem!!
