This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Vehicle was stopped at a red light with the operator's foot on the bake, vehicle began to accelerate unintentionally, operator was unable to stop and avoid collision of car in front of truck until the vehicle was placed in park. This prevented a collision from occurring. Incident occurred a second time on 1/22/2015 when vehicle was stopped at intersection. Truck narrowly missed oncoming traffic before transmission was forced by operator into "park". continuing to apply pressure on the brakes and pumping the brakes were not successful in stopping the acceleration of the vehicle.
Once more this truck has lunged without notice!! with the truck in my garage I pushed the button (inside the truck) to open the garage door, started the truck and as soon as I put in in reverse it lunged backwards just catching/hitting the bottom of the garage door as it was going up, some scuffs on the trucks tailgate trim and it bent the lower garage door panel and knocked it off the track. Ford has done squat to fix this issue along with other major issues this truck has from day one!! NHTSA please look into these issues!!
Warning lights came on dash about stability or traction control, no 4X4 lights were showing even though I had it in four wheel drive. Within seconds I could not control my truck in the snow and the steering would not allow me to change my course of direction. This truck acted like it was not in four wheel drive. My truck slammed/slid sideways into a curb on the rotary by my home causing $2129.19 damages to tires and rims and front end parts. After I hit the curb the 4X4 light was showing as was the traction control lights and I was able to steer my truck and keeping it from dropping over an embankment. My speed was 15 miles per hour as I came towards the rotary. I contacted Ford and received a call back 11/6/14 stating that I needed to go through my insurance and that my insurance company was welcome to subrogate this with Ford legal counsel. The woman that called would not answer any question about what this all meant just that I needed to deal with my insurance company over and over.
I got in my truck to start it and it was completely dead. No fire whatsoever. Service traction control light was on and trailer park light or something was on. Radio, windows, doors, lights, everything worked. It just did not start at all. Had to have it towed. Dealership reset computer. Light still came on. Took it back a week later, because the service trac control light was coming on and staying on again. Can't find any thing wrong with it. This is a brand new truck. My lord. Something needs to be figured out with it. Why pay for a brand new truck that you are afraid to drive. Lucky this took place in my own yard, and not out of town or something.
The contact owns 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the horn was not working. The vehicle was taken to the dealer three different times where the technician diagnosed that the body control module needed to be replaced and the blue tooth system needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not further repaired. The failure mileage was 6,000 and the current mileage was 17,000.
