general problems of the 2010 Ford F-150 - part 1

My truck won't shift into 3rd gear. It hesitates when idling. When you accelerate it shudders. After a certain rbm it goes.

Engine shout off while in travel. Heavy traffic ,crazy driver's. No warning . Nothing filed . . . Tow truck returned truck to home. No light's or warning. Repair by owner. Still incomplete.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle lost motive power and shut off. The contact veered over to the side of the road and attempted to restart the vehicle. There was an abnormal sound while turning the ignition key. There were no warning lights illuminated. After several attempts, the vehicle restarted, and the contact was able to continue driving to the destination. The contact stated that the failure was related to TSB: 15-0137. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the fuse needed to be updated. The dealer determined that a relocation kit was needed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and informed the contact there were no associated recalls and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 117,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 70 mph, the vehicle unintendedly downshifted to first gear, and the vehicle abruptly decelerated, almost causing a crash. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The contact was referred to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 191,000.

Timing chain rattle/ pre mature failure.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal was depressed, and the vehicle started jerking. Additionally, when the brake pedal was released, the vehicle hesitated to respond when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle then accelerated independently. The contact stated that the check engine, seat belt, and abs warning lights illuminated after the failure and then turned off independently. The contact related the failure to an unknown recall. The vehicle was taken to a dealer but was not yet diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.

Issue: abrupt engine shutoff while driving at high speed. Occurance: while driving on an interstate highway at approximately 70mph in far left lane, the vehicle abruptly shutoff. With no power, the power steering also did not function, however, had enough speed to safely pull onto the grass median. It appears the problem is with a known issue to Ford, which is the fuse for the fuel pump (#27 in the engine compartment pdb) will melt and cause either intermittent or complete failure even while driving at high speeds. Given the conditions I was extremely lucky to have been able to pull off, and then back on to the roadway safely. Ford has a fix available fuel pump jumper harness kit. Kit terminal part #: wt56872 (14293) as a result of this problem, yet it seems there is no active recall for this to be installed. Why??? this could have resulted in multiple deaths and injuries for a single incident - I think that's unacceptable and hope NHTSA will concur and compel a recall to fix this issue.

When you start it up it would run good then battery light and a wrench would show up on dash then the throttle would drop down to a maximum speed would be 20 miles an hour. Battery would be dead when you would try and start it. Took it to a mechanic he could not do a diagnostic check because computer had been erased. I have been stranded multiple times. Going down busy highway unable to go faster than twenty miles an hour. Had to be jumped twice in a few hours still only able to go twenty miles an hour,then battery died while going twenty miles and hour. Engine light along with battery light and wrench symb.

The system that failed was in the steering/gear shaft. The shaft is failing due to corrosion/rust. The vehicle has erratic steering when turning left or right. The steering does not rebound making it difficult to steer the vehicle which can cause a serious crash. I have had the problem with the steering and almost running off into a ditch. Trying to regain steering is difficult as it seems it gets stuck in position (left or right) and heavy when manually trying to control or correct the steering. The engine intake manifold suffer from the same safety issues that causes the corrosion or rusting of the manifold bolts making it very difficult to maintenance /repair cracked manifolds in the vehicle. The culprit as Ford knows it is salty road conditions. I live in michigan where salt is applied to the roads often to keep roadways open for travel in the winter months. Ford has found remedies for newer model F-150s that suffer the same issues but has not offered remedy for older models such as mine. These trucks should be afforded the same recall privileges as newer vehicles.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the starter would fail intermittently. The contact sprayed starter fluid in the intake and eventually the vehicle would start. The contact stated that fuse #27 for the fuel pump relay was melted and burned in half. The contact spoke with a certified mechanic who suggested that the fuse and fuel pump control module may both need to be replaced. The contact replaced the fuel pump control module however, failure persisted. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who confirmed the failure with fuse # 27. The contact was informed that the fuse needed to be replaced and the fuel pump control module might also need to be replaced again. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving his vehicle , the vehicle was running normally. The contact stated that he had no warning lights illuminated, and no knowledge of any failures with his vehicle.

The normal camshaft phaser issues are occurring. Loud knocking, vibrating while idling, and general rattling from the motor when the truck isn't above 1000 rpm�s. While this may not directly cause accidents, in intense rattling and knocking can cause other issues to arise which in turn can cause major safety concerns for the NHTSA. If Ford doesn't decide to take on this issue and repair it, then it can be expected that every 3 valve Ford motor made since 2005 will eventually succumb to these major issues. As we all know Ford has had issues designing motors in the past, primarily the 6. 0, 6. 4 and 5. 4 motor that I currently own, but it is time for Ford to step up and handle the mechanical problems that their designers negligence caused. It is not too much to ask that an auto manufacturer stands by their product and repairs or replaces the faulty part when the time comes. Additionally in the part you wherein you asked for the date of the incident, I will put the most recent occurrence but please note that this issue is reoccurring and you should expect knocking and vibration every time you drive.

Takata recall. When pulling out into traffic on a very busy highway as the on coming traffic speed limit is 50mph, I'm pulling out on the highway with a safe distance between cars on this busy road as I accelerated my 2010 f150 fx4 super crew cab "with my family in the truck I might add" the truck just down shifts and it slams me and my family forward "like I hit a tree going 30mph" the truck shuts off completely and a symbol of a wrench pops up on the dashboard. With no power steering, no power breaks, no way to safely move the truck off the road at this point due to the traffic I was trying to avoid was passing me going at least 50mph almost getting rear ended by several cars and semi trucks, I push the flashers on and pray that nothing bad happens and coast until the truck finally comes to a stop after about 30-45 seconds. I get out of the truck after the group of vehicles pass by and inspected to see if the engine or transmission was blown up or leaking fluid and nothing at this point so I'm stressed out because my family and I could have very well died and there is no proof of this when I restarted the truck no symbols was present when inspected by a mechanic. I keep telling the mechanic that it has no power any more, it sooooo sluggish I can't even drive the truck much anymore, only on short trips to the store. We had to cancel or vacation and cancel the purchase of a camper for our vacation. I'm sorry but if Ford was a real symbol of safety and security of its owners this would have never happened in the first place. This needs to be fixed ASAP!!!.

5. 4 & 4. 6 3 valve engine tappett noise when hot on multiple trucks &SUV occurs just after warranties on multiple years 2005 - 2012 this is the second Ford I purchased and shortly after noise begins.

When slowing down (at an intersection for example) to make a turn the vehicle dies and makes it very, very difficult to turn because the power steering does not work. I have almost gotten into two accidents because of not being able to stay in my lane during the turn. I have never seen a truck so difficult to turn when the engine is not running. Additionally, the truck will not start after fueling. I had the truck towed the first time it happened and the Ford dealer (madison county Ford in richmond, ky) said it was a transmission problem. The first time I put fuel in the truck, it would not start. It sat a couple of days and started. The engine was stopping just as it did before. Took it back to the same Ford dealer and they said they had diagnosed the problem properly. I spend $2,216 on what they said the problem was and it was still doing the same thing. The paramount issue is when the truck dies while driving and it can't be steered properly.

Run out of gas gas guage reading is 50 mile to go all when engen get hot making kocking nosie.

Engine cranks but does not start one morning. Found fried fuel pump fuse was the issue. Not a blown fuse. A fried fuse. Blackened and charred.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-150. While driving approximately 45 mph, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that a misfire on the cylinder required all the valves to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 114,000.

When applying sync update caused several failure codes to transmission module and transmission servo. Sync module no longer works after applying software update and must be replaced. All transmission and engine codes were cleared. I believe the sync module update caused failure codes and destroyed sync module. Ford dealership cannot explain.

While driving (in motion) the engine randomly shuts down causing you to lose both steering and braking power. This happens with no warning and the vehicle is hard to control. Speed does not seem to be a factor but it quits while turning the vehicle either left or right.

Transmission won't down shift ,or downshifts when not suppose to, when starting out or slowing down there is severe shuttering from the drivetrain.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-150. While driving approximately 70 mph, the engine revved without warning. The vehicle was pulled over to the side and later taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed that the rocker arm fractured into pieces and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The failure was remedied. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000.

My vehicle stop without warning. Had a 800. 00 dollar tune-up. It has stopped several times since tune-up . I took it to two dealers they said they could not find any codes indicating their was a problem. It cuts off as I come to a stop or when I slow down to make a turn at slow speeds on city streets.

Fix my 2010 Ford F-150 fx4 engine and tranny problems. I was alway a chevy guy, bought this truck and it is a big pile of shit !!!!! recall it, read the forums, all who own these are sick of the god damn problems !!!!! never again. Stand up to your product. Do something about it. Your engineers are pathetic. Good by, from one pissed off owner.

Spark plug blew out of number 2 cylinder with no warning.

Bought new in April 2010, Ford xlt150. Now at 73k mi. Last two weeks. Could not start twice after filling up. Had to keep flooring vehicle to crank over. Hi performance battery is two mths old. Died at red light three times. Died at yield sign twice. Died at bank atm once. Lost steering control when engine died coming out of yield sign. Luckily hit no one. Took it to Ford dealership,asked about recall notice or if others had similar problems. Negative response on both. Told them thousands of same problem posted on internet. They told me many people just post stuff. Many posters said Ford dealers computers showed no problem when truck is hooked up. Taking it to an independent mechanic shop. Too dangerous to keep driving. Will injure someone and myself,or worse. Will be notifying Ford.

While slowing to approximatly 20 mph to make a left turn at a stop light the engine died and all braking and power steering was lost. While still partially bloking the intersection I placed the transsmision in park and restarted the engine. No engine fault codes were displayed. I drove to the local dealer immediately after the incident. Dealer stated that if no fault light was present they could not determine the cause. So far this has only happened one time.

The truck misses at an idle and we also had to have the drive shaft replaced.

While slowing down to turn onto a side road, vehicle died and I had to coast to a stop with no steering or brakes. Vehicle started up immediately after with no stored code.

Vehicle vibrates and hesitates to accelerate to the point where the truck engine will shut off around 1500 rpm on both highway speed and normal street speed. I took it to a local Ford dealership, and they said there's nothing wrong with it or maybe they just don't know where it's coming from since the engine light is not on.

The failure occurred on a daily basis. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 17,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal failed and became stuck to the floorboard. The vehicle accelerated forcefully and immediately decelerated. The mechanic and check engine indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for the failure. The dealer cleaned the throttle body; however, the failure was not corrected. A diagnostic was performed, which located a failure code at the throttle body position sensor. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 75,000.
