general problems of the 2009 Ford F-150

There's been recalls on the 2009 Ford f150 and my car is having hydraulic pump issues and a couple other issues that were recalled and I was just trying to get some assistance?.

Ac electric wiring becomes hot and only blows at 1 speed, also with time has become corroded diplaying a live open wire under passanger area, seems it is the following block heater cable splice connector may corrode prolonged corrosion of the connector may cause a resistive short, overheating or melting the wiring and increasing the risk of a fire. Safety recall 19v048 below also I can not find an open recall for the following issue my vehicle still has now that I researched it, it is a recall and my Ford has not been fixed inregards to the following, block heater cable splice connector may corrode the interior door handle housing embossment retaining the interior door handle spring may fracture during normal usage resulting in insufficient spring force to return the handle to the fully stowed position.

Same old fuse issue, with only 56,000 miles. Ford is aware, they have a kit to by pass the problem, how ever they will not pay for repair (no recall). Cost almost $500. 00 to fix their poor design issue. Buyers beware.

Fuel pump fuse failed. Known issue under TSB-15-0137. Failure of the fuel pump at speed can result in a dangerous situation. I feel this should be covered under recall as the attached picture clearly shows an electrical overload condition.

Vehicle died while driving on city street. Engine would turn over but not fire. Had to be towed to Ford dealer at cost of $90. Was advised by dealer service that the problem was fuse 27 melted and damaged the fuse box. This is a known problem for F-150 vehicles for years 2009 - 2014. TSB 15-0137 was issued in September of 2015 but no recall was issued. Cost to repair was $466 out of my pocket. For a known problem with six model years this should have been a recall. Just glad I was not on the interstate when this happened.

Problem 1: my trucks traction control engages on snow and throws the wheels into a slide rather than stabilizes the vehicle. I turn sway and/or traction control off and it turns itself back on whenever I stop and then get back in and restart the truck. Problem 2: this truck will not give an accurate read on gas in the tank as the needle is always getting stuck. I gauge by miles gone as to when I need gas. (just stopped to get gas thought I was out but needle went over 1/2 which is what I put in. ) but there are more electrical issues such as the doors that unlock during the night when I have locked all doors, by morning one or more doors often on passenger side unlock themselves. And sync always does it's own thing with my iphone x, never know if it will connect or be disconnected while driving. Sometimes it goes from hands free answer in the middle of a conversation to suddenly in privacy mode. These problems are while in motion and sometimes when the vehicle is parked. Problem 3: truck speedometer is very difficult to read due to hash marks for speed instead of numbers at 20, 40, 60, etc speeds. Nearly got a ticket for looking down too long to read my display. Starting to hate this truck as I never know what it will do or not do. This is dangerous as it is a consistent distraction. So much for safety due to technology. If others have these issues well it's no wonder people are driving so badly now.

Passenger side front seat caught on fire from the seat heater. Kept smell a burning smell and could not determine the source. Parked the truck and looked outs DE about an hour later. Smoke coming out of the cab. Opened the door and saw seat on fire. You assenger used the seat heater prior. No one smokes in my family so there was no other heat source.

Driving on a city street when the engine suddenly shut down and quit running. I was almost rear ended by a semi truck and only avoided a major accident because I had room to go to the right and the semi had room to swerve around me on the left. When I had it towed to the Ford dealer they informed me that it was a melted fuse but that they were already aware of the problem and had a "fix" kit in stock and the repair process already documented to reroute that fuse. This means that Ford is aware of this problem and I presume was just waiting for someone to die before issuing a recall. I have the repair order available if needed. When I contacted Ford directly they informed me there was no recall and therefore I was responsible for the entire $650. 00 cost and did not seem to care about the possibility of a major accident when the engine suddenly stops running.

The truck is shutting off while driving and at all speeds. My husband has to pull and reset fuse 27 to allow the fuel pump to recieve power. This has put my husband in dangerous situations as it has happened in heavy traffic on two lane highways. We are requesting a service voucher be sent to our local dealer to fix the problem we understand has already had a bulletin sent out for. It is a Ford issue and we would appreciate this being remedied. We were quoted a price of around $300 to change out the relay that is causing the issue.

The truck is shutting off at any point in time and putting my husband and others in danger as it has happenend while going down busy roads and the hwy. He has to get out and reinsert the fuse. It has also failed to start until the fuse is reinserted. It has blown fuses. This is under recall in other vehicles fuse 27. Fuse 8 was also causing problems and it has been replaced. We have since learned of the service bulletin. It is a problem we feel should be covered by Ford which has been quoted as between 250$ and 300$. We are requesting a voucher for repair be sent to our local dealer for the repair. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Tl- the contact owns a 2009 Ford F-150. The contact stated that there had been an internal electrical failure concerning the location of the fuze box being over the radiator of which a shortage was randomly happening and progressing with no warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the underhood fuze box needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, had issued a TSB 15-0137 related to the failure but the vehicle was not included in a recall so the conact was uncertain if the failure may happen again. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000. Dyd.

Truck stalled and lost transmission power in the middle of busy highway. Waited 20min on shoulder and truck started and ran fine. This has happened periodically over the last year with no error codes found during diagnostics related. Now happing more frequent and yesterday the truck stalled again and now will not start. Researched and found a class action lawsuit about Ford pcm/tcm failures which described my symptoms perfectly. Next issue is at 55mph the truck tried to go into 4-low, which shut the truck down on the high way and almost went off the road. Error code found during diagnostics was the "communication to transfer case shift motor".

Abs module defective in the truck, power steering going out. Rpm modole not working.

Vehile has/shut down on 6 or 7 separate occasions while sitting in a parking lot or at a stop lights the steering also locked up while trying to turn left . I have taken it to several but the only thing they tell I need a new engine ,. Which we cannot afford, we got it serviced on time and took care of it thinking we would have it for many years. Now it is garbage I have always defended Ford but now am so upset don't know what we will do .

The contact owns a 2009 Ford F-150. While driving approximatly 55 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled in the middle of a busy highway and would not restart. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that fuse number 27 had melted. A fuse relocation kit needed to be installed and the failure was remedied. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 108,000.

2009 Ford F-150 stalling and not starting. This was due to an improperly located 20-amp fuse exposed to excess heat. The fuse needs to relocated or the problem will continue. The truck stopped working suddenly in the middle of traffic and almost caused an accident.

First the right rear door shows that the door is ajar so the interior lights stays on while driving for about ten miles before they go out and when you stop the vehicle and get out the lights stay on for about 20 minutes so it runs the battery down. Second thing is the drivers door handle don't return to the closed position it stays half way out and a piece of plastic fell out of door handle I contacted the Ford company about these problems and I was told that they were nothing they could do about the problems. I myself think that these problems are a safety problem and very aggravating.

Tl- the contact owns a 2009 Ford f150. The contact stated that while parked, the anti-lock braking system and the traction control warning light illuminated. The failure recurred constantly. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the anti-lock braking system module had failed and needed to be replaced. The contact mentioned that the part for the repair was not available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 92,273. Jo.

Our truck was parked in a parking lot. We had entered a store about twelve minutes before. No one was in the truck and it was turned off. Someone came running into the store and yelled there is a green Ford f 150 on fire in the parking lot. We ran out to see the truck up in flames. After the fire was put out the cab had melted and all the left side of the drivers side. Was burned and melted. The windshield had. Racked and broken in many pieces from the hot fire. Had aaa tow the truck to a auto repair shop. It was totaled called Ford CO and they told me that they have had no complaints of a spontaneous fire with these trucks. Today they called and said they determined it should just be handled with the insurance company. They took no responsibility. Aaa had not sent them any paperwork yet on the incident. But they determined with no knowledge of what evidence was going to be reported that they did not have to handle it. Found on google a complaint sight where 44 people have had the same problem. I am very unsatisfied with the Ford CO and the way they just dumped this issue.

The contact owns a 2009 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the combination lock and key fob failed to unlock the vehicle. The contact mentioned that he was able to start the engine but was unable to move the vehicle since the transmission was locked. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician instructed that as a temporary remedy, he should remove the positive charge cable from the battery and put it back, in order to re-start the computer. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician was unable to determine what caused the failure however, he stated that there was a loss of communication between the body module and the computer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 34,000 and the current mileage was 34,500.

Foul odor developed in vehicle, consistent with mold and mildew. Entire carpet pad found to be wet. Inspection at dealer revealed leaking third tail light. Dealer noted this is a common problem. Clearly this situation is a public health hazard due to the resulting environmental hazard from mold growth.

I was entering an on-ramp onto the interstate and accelerating at the time. As I was nearing the end of the ramp, I felt the truck was traveling faster than I had intended. I removed my foot off of the accelerator only to hear the engine reving and watched the speedometer continue to climb. I was traveling between 80-85 mph by the time I was entering the interstate appoaching a tractor trailer truck. I stood with both feet, straight legged with 130 pounds on the brake while not only trying to avoid the tractor trailer in front of me, but watching another tractor trailer approaching me from behind. My speed continued to climb as the accelerator remained stuck. After approximately half a mile of me standing on the brake, I heard a loud bang as the accelerator let go and my braking took effect. I took it to the closest Ford dealership who "could not duplicate the problem, the peddle must have been stuck on the floormat". As I was not satisfied, I then took it to the dealership where I had purchased it only to be told the same thing. As the person driving the vehicle, I can assure you, it wasn't stuck on the floormat. The same thing occured to my husband as he accelerated to pass a vehicle. However, the period of acceleteration did not last as long as this last episode. Both dealerships were made well aware of both incidents.

I wa traveling on I-20 east traveling from vicksburg, ms heading to atlanta, GA. I had been using the cruise control consistently for about 3 hours. I also was using the accelerate & decelerate buttons on the steering column. I approached a slight curve in birmingham, al with the cruise control locked in at 60 mph, when all of a sudden the vehicle accelerated full throttle. I applied foot pressure to the brake, but the vehicle would not slow down. It continued to accelerate to about 85 mph. I then somewhat raised up in the seat to apply all the foot pressure I could to the brake. It slowed down slightly. When I took my foot off the brake, it began to speed up again. Next I fumbled with the cruise control buttons to see if they were stuck. The vehicle continued to accelerate. Finally, I moved the gear shift to neutral & the vehicle began to slow down. When I put the vehicle back in drive, everything appeared to be normal. Needless to say, I did not use the cruise control anymore. Thank god, we survived!.

Driving sown road, a/c fan quit and smoke came out of the vents. A fire started under the dash on passenger side.

Vehicle has stalled/shut down on three separate occasions during operation. The first two times the vehicle shut off while stopping at a traffic light. During the latest occurrence the vehicle shut off while navigating a left turn through an intersection. The stall resulted in a power steering and brakes failure. I was able to stop the vehicle without incident because there was no traffic. The latest incident occurred on 05/23/2011. The vehicle has been taken to the local Ford service department but they cannot recreated the problem and therefore have no solution. I have also notified Ford customer service of the problem. There have been six other quality issues with this vehicle. Ford customer service instructed me to continue driving the vehicle and report the incident to the service department when it happens again. Hopefully the next time it happens it will not result in a crash.

The contact owns a 2009 Ford F-150. While stopped with the brakes depressed, the vehicle abnormally accelerated resulting in a crash. A police report was not filed and there were no injuries. The contact also stated that when reversing, the rear view camera would not alert him that he was reversing into another vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer but not repaired for the failure. The failure mileage was 25,000 and the current mileage was 37,000.

Vehicle caught fire while parked. Wires leading into the fuel tank shorted caught bed on fire, but was extinguished in time to stop further damage.

At around 3500 miles on my 2009 Ford f150 supercrew, I noticed a mildew smell and condensation forming on the inside of my windows. I did some research and found it is due to liquid in the cab somewhere. I pulled up each kickplate and found the problem to be under my right rear cab kickplate. Water was accumulating down there with all the electrical wires. I took it to the dealer and they stated it was due to the third brake light. It was replaced. At 5000, I noticed the smell again and knew right where to look. I did and had the same problem. Took it back to the dealer and they replaced the same third brake light only they said this one had a stronger seal. I just hit 6500 miles and noticed the same problem and smell, and popped the kickplate and had the water again. I am fixing to call the dealer on Monday to let them know. After looking in my cab I noticed a spot of dried water residue on my headliner. I am going to point this out to them and let them know something is not sealing correctly which could very well compromise the electrical system with all the wires down under the kickplate where the water accumulates.

The contact owns a 2009 Ford F-150. While reading the owners manual, the contact realized that the vehicles electronic trailer sway control system was disabled. The system was enabled when the vehicle was turned on but when it was turned off, the system disabled and could potentially cause a crash according to the owners manual. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the contact was informed that there was no fix for the problem. The failure continued to occur. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000. The current mileage was approximately 13,500 updated 11/19/10 updated 11/23/10.

Ford F-150 2009 lost my cluster for a few second during traveling and came back.

I have had no answer to my concern. I purchased a new 2009 Ford XLT four door extended cab pickup in February. In April 2009, I noticed that the inside dash lights (gauges, speedometer, etc. ) came on only when it was very dark outside the vehicle. This is true whether the light switch is in the manual or the automatic position. The dash lights will not respond when the headlights are illuminated in the manual or automatic position unless it is very dark outside or you place your finger over the electric eye. The Ford dealer from whom I purchased the vehicle agreed that the dash lights should illuminate whenever the headlights are on and kept the vehicle for five days trying to find the problem. They finally got hold of the Ford motor company hot line and were told that the current lighting system for this vehicle is a result of a programming change made by the company for 2009. I was informed that the only solution to my concern would result as a probable recall for all of the vehicles to fix the problem. In late may 2009, I called the Ford motor companys relationship center and related the above-stated concern. The representative was very attentive and courteous and indicated that he would forward this information to appropriate departments within the Ford organization. However, he did not feel that I would be getting any responses. I understand the young mans dilemma (its a technical problem which needs a technical input). I am still wondering whether a Ford company programming change is the cause of the problem or if my concern is justified. I believe there are some safety issues to be addressed, I. E. Shouldn't you be able to tell if your headlights are on by glancing at your dash lights during daylight storm conditions?.
