Drivers side front and rear doors do not close in cold weather. Door latches have been replaced with "new version" that was designed after a previous recall. The new latches do not correct the problem and a major safety issue still remains as doors will come open while driving.
Parking brake alert comes on reading parking brake malfunction please have it checked.the parking brake will not work and the alert keeps comming on even when I hit ok.took it in 2 times to Ford deal and they reprogrammed but it still comes on after awhile when in drive mode.it does it when in motion or parked.
Rear window poped or shattered for no reason. There was nothing behind me that could have caused and impact as I was in a boat ramp with only the ocean behind me. When I opened my door to get out I heard a loud pop noise. I looked around and didn't see anything. I got my boat out and when I started loading the truck up I noticed the rear window glass was broken.
Was informed of a recall 17S33, 17V-652 on 11/17. Have received no thing from Ford since and they say nothing has been done as yet. Is this long of a delay normal!?
The Ford new back truck window exploded!! normal morning 85 degrees. Have read in U-tube now becoming a common issue with this new Ford truck model. We called Ford. Truck under warranty but Ford refuse to do a thing about it. Even though so many others owners of the F-150 have had the same issue!!! it was parked as normal. Nothing hit it and no stress fractures before window exploded. It just exploded!!

The black stitching on the leather areas of the dash is turning pink. I believe it is being caused by sun exposure. I contacted the dealer and they have sent pictures twice to Ford explaining the problem. They have refused both times to cover this under warranty, stating it was caused from harsh chemicals being used in cleaning. I have never cleaned the dash, only dusted it with a clean cloth. I purchased this truck December 9, 2017. I noticed this and reported it to the dealer February 9, 2018.
The auto shut off system when you stop when the break is applied. There is no way to permanently shut this system off. You can hit a button each time you start the vehicle, in the manuel it does stat you can turn it off but doing as it states does not turn it off permanently. When needing to take off quickly or if you need to make a turn when the vehicle turns off the steering wheel is hard to turn so you need to let up off the break. There needs to be a way for the owner to shut this button off permanently if they so choose. I don't see where this turning the engine off and on all the time is saving fuel and good on the starter.
Adaptive cruise control engages brakes for no apparent reason. No traffic or obstacle was in front of my vehicle to cause it to engage the brakes at highway speed of 70mph. Messages as follows: Hill descent control warning illuminated causing brakes to engage 3/14/2018. Forward collision warning 3/14/2018. Self-parking feature backed my vehicle into a large boulder beside my truck while parking. If it had been a person beside my truck, they could have been seriously injured or killed. Happened about February 15, 2018
While drive in the rain with the cabin heater on there was a loud noise and then the rear window of my F-150 truck window shattered (it exploded outwards from the inside of the cabin) took the vehicle directly to the dealer to file a claim. After several hours and the dealer contacting the warranty department I was told the damage would not be covered by Ford the vehicle only has logged only 14,400 at the time this time and I have an extended warranty on the vehicle
While in motion, I accelerated to pass another vehicle. Upon completing the pass, I pumped my brakes to slow down. When I released the brakes, my truck rapidly accelerated and would not stop accelerating, though I had not touched the gas pedal and tried braking several times. The only way I could stop the sudden unintended accelerateion was to put the truck in neutral and brake. Even as I did this, the engine continued to tach at high rpms. After turning the vehicle off and on at least twice, the issue finally resolved. The dealer found only 1 code error, showing the high tach, and blamed the floor mat. I can say with 100% certainty, it was not the floor mat.
Doors are freezing shut when temps drop below freezing. When able to open door often door wont close and lock will need to be pushed down in order for door to latch. One two different occasions doors have come open while car is in motion after frozen.
I own a 2017 F150 5.0 liter V8 with 10,700 miles purchased new this year.the braking system failed while driving. The brake pedal lost the resistance and depressed all if the way to the floor, failing to stop the vehicle. The brake pedal would return back to the normal position when released. This happened intermittantly on secondary roads for about 25 miles before failing consistently. The brake pedal would then depress completely to the floor board until released. No warning lights or alarms activated. The brakes would function partially and abnormally but required the driver to 'pump' the brake pedal to maintain proper pedal resistance and would bring the vehicle to a stop. It was taked to the dealership where it was purchasd and the master cylinder was said to be leaking and was replaced under warrenty repair.
Roof of truck had bad paint corrosion, like something was under it when painted. Primer showing through. Was not noticed at time of buying as we weren't on a ladder to see the roof.
I rear ended another vehicle at around 35mph. The front airbags deployed. Within 2 minutes we noticed that the truck was on fire. The fire originated at the bottom of the driver side B pillar. Myself, one witness, and one law enforcement officer all saw where the fire started. The truck front and cab were totally burned up within 5 minutes. No one was hurt due to the fire.
