1 Carrier/rack problem of the 2013 Ford E-150

Failure Date: 11/16/2016

I opened the sun/moon roof and it would not close and after a couple of attempts it stuck in the full open position. The Ford dealer said that two pins or brackets or clips had broken off the track mechanism that the sun/moon roof slides when opening or closing. The vehicle was moving when it failed and remained in the open position. Numerous repair shops in the area have told me that this is a common problem on f-150 sun/moon roofs due to the failure of the two plastic pins that become brittle and break off resulting in the sunroof failing. It is my belief that this is an occupant safety issue due to the sudden exposure to outside elements without the ability to close the sunroof. The Ford dealers repair cost was nearly $2000 for a replacement of the sunroof.

2 Carrier/rack problem of the 2009 Ford E-150

Failure Date: 02/13/2014

Adult male driver, I've ran a truck sales since 1971, driving all brands an this is a first and the most dangerous 2 or 3 minutes of my life. . . . . Driving a 2009 Ford f150 61,62 mph on cruise, coming into leary georgia an approaching 2 vehicles ahead of me, I touched the brake petal to release the cruise control. This is the start of a nite mare. The throttle went wide open, from 60 I go to 75 -80 I had to pass the 2 cars ahead in town or rear end them. I had both feet on the brake an the transmission kept downshifting giving it more power. I turned the ignition off and then no brakes, no steering, no lights. I was prepared to hit woods or building to Dodge the cars on street, had a full 90 degree rt turn to make an cross a rr track, needing brakes and lights I turned ignition on , full throttle again, turned ignition back off and steered under a service stations canopy and back out on the street and across jumped the curb and into a god sent vacant lot, grassey, wet and soft. It stopped. After a few minutes and taking my nitroglycerin ,I stopped shaking enough to start the engine, it idled. I locked it and left a note on the windshield to not attempt to drive this vehicle will kill you, will run away full speed. Don't blame it on driver error-cellphone-texting or alcohol- it was a runa-way truck and will seriously hurt or kill your wife, son or daughter that's inexperienced.
