Wiring problems of the 2011 Ford F-150

Battery won't if power from time to time after replacing it with a new battery. Back door says it's ajar even when it's not, I did get that repaired after that my radio stopped working checked all fuses. Lots of wiring issues.

This is the fourth time my vehicle has had an srs fault. Repair dealer: bob thomas Ford, 310 w coliseum blvd, fort wayne, in 46805 vehicle purchased from a Ford dealer in west lafayette, indiana in March 2014 with approximately 22k miles and under warranty. Vehicle had been under a fomoco lease agreement. 2011 Ford F-150 XLT VIN# 1ftex1em9bfc88927 current mileage (9/11/2017): 83610 8/3/2015 mileage: 45736 invoice number: 561221 driver's side seat belt pre-tensioner replaced under warranty. 10/28/2015 mileage: 50687 invoice number: 566313 1. High resistance in driver side wiring. 2. Cleaned connector and reseated. 3. No parts. I was charge $236. 99 and I still contend this was a warranty issue and I should not have been charged. 5/2/2016 mileage: 57414 invoice number: 576477 passenger side pre-tensioner replaced under warranty. On April 29, 2016, I contacted Ford motor company customer relations and opened a case concerning these srs problems with this vehicle. Time: 3:15 pm case# cas9374314 agent: brianna vehicle safety is a responsibility of the manufacturer. I am getting ready to go on vacation the end of this week and I would like to have this issue fixed ASAP, please. In the last 20+ years I have never owned a vehicle that has had this many issues, concerning the safety restraint system. I contacted Ford customer relation again this morning and have a ref number cas-13083709-v7v5c4 I have owned several cars with srs during the last 25+ years and not had this many problems with any vehicle I have owned. Up until now.

My heated seat drivers side became very hot - causing small red spot on my leg. Pulled seat cover which had become distorted and discovered heated seat element had shorted out melting copper wiring and burning a hole in foam seat cushion. Ended up replacing element and leather seat cover on my own just parts cost nearly $600. Contacted Ford customer service three times with no response. Checked google search and there are many people having issues with these elements. I saved cover, and element and have pictures available.

Vehicle once when first bought shut down during rain conditions when trying to excel. It was like you ran into a wall. Ford then said it was a wiring harness problem. It continued missing at times over the last two years. The same thing happened again in December while trying to pass a vehicle and it was again during rain conditions and just shut down in the road. We took it into the dealership and they said it was TSB 13 8 1 and made repairs. Vehicle now does not run right and gas mileage has dropped by at lest 2. 5 mpg. Noticeable power loss. Vehicle is the Ford 3. 5 echo boost. This is a big problem for consumers who want a truck and expect power with good mpg but should not be afraid to drive or get a supposed fix that's not what you have purchased. These situations will result into some very bad accidents. I cant imagine pulling something and this happens. Bottom line consumers deserve safe reliable vehicles. We love Fords and I hate I am having to complain but this is a real big problem. Please investigate. Thanks!!!!.

This is very disappointing to have to experience so soon with a brand new truck. The location of this wiring harness is in an area that unless you have side steps and maybe even then, is not protected. Even then the way the wiring harness comes out from within the wheel wall makes no sense. I'm attaching a few pictures so you can see what occurred. Luckily, someone saw the wire dragging and told me before it was too late. I put up the harness and taped it to hold it up. This could have had a horrible outcome had the wires continued to shred or make contact with one another.
