general problems of the 2017 Ford F-150 - part 2

When driving on hills or moving from a stop to get into traffic the vehicle will go from 4th gear to 1st and won’t accelerate. After this happens I’m alerted with “powertrain system fault”. This causes a safety issue for me and others because on hills it won’t accelerate and it rolls backwards. From a stop trying to get into traffic it won’t move and becomes a collision waiting to happen. This problem happens very frequently but hasn’t been confirmed or inspected yet. The only warnings are “powertrain system fault” no systems and first appeared late June of 2024.

Rear window shattered this morning during start up. I auto started the vehicle this morning at approximately 3:35. When I went out to get on about 7 minutes later, smoke bellowed out the door. I quickly shut off the vehicle and opened the hood, nothing indicated an issue. M but when I walked around the vehicle I noticed the rear window buldging out and shattered, the window was hot to the touch.

While I am driving my vehicle the speed drops while I’m pushing on the peddle. After a few seconds the gear catches itself and I can drive at normal speed.

2/29/2024 driver side tire was flat 3/1/I wanted to put the spare so that I could take the fire for repair. But the factory issue lug nut wrench does not fit. How can you do this to people? this is ridiculous 3/2/24 I went to the store to buy a nut remover this should not be allowed to happen and you get away without giving the customer a proper tool.

After takimg. My Ford to the dealership to correct the frozen door latch issue , my doors are still latching. This is a serious safety issue as the door will not latch properly and you have to hold the door closed to get the vehicle home. All 4 doors experience this latch issue. I have had to tie my door closed with a cell phone charger cord just to get the vehicle home. This is unacceptable with the price of vehicles.

I had the recall repaired on my 2017 f150 in 2022, for the freezing door latches not latching and letting the door stay closed. I did have issues with it in ’23 but it was only once or twice and I didn’t do anything about it. I had issues with the latching again this winter (Jan. 2024) and had a new problem where the door would not unlock and just brought it into Ford to maybe have them do a recall fix on latches again on it but they said there is nothing they can do. It is our only vehicle right now and my wife is currently pregnant and my main concern is us needing to leave in an emergency and not being able to get the doors open because of the locks or then having them not able to stay shut cause the latches won’t work.

Door lock fails. I have to climb out windows to exit vehicle in an emergency. The locks are frozen.

Door opens but will not latch and hold when you shut the door.

When I use the brakes, the doors open and passengers fall on the roadway. Then get struck by passing vehicles. It hurts when getti ng run over. Plus it sucks when the doors open randomly in traffic.

On12. 26. 23 I entered my 2017 f150, closed the door, and the rear window shattered, causing glass to enter the back seat- falling on my child who was seated in the rear. I called the local Ford dealership because my truck is under warranty to 100,000 miles. The dealership said they refer people with that problem to a local glass shop. I took it there to be repaired, total cost with tax was $1067. 00 there were no warnings, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to this happening. ***this submittal has an area to attached the service invoice- this function will not work for me, but I do have the invoice if needed.

On the morning of 12/12/23 it was a cold morning, the driver side door was frozen the door wouldn't secure. Had to heat up vehicle to get door lock to engage.

The driver side door would not unlock by either using the key fob or manually using the key in the door. This seem to occur in cold weather. It was 20f this morning and the vehicle was parked outdoors. This has occurred multiple time, so I though I’d report. If by chance the door unlocks, the latching mechanism will not function, nor will the locking of the door, so can’t drive until the car is well warmed up, usually 20 minutes of idling with the heater on. I have backed out of my driveway and the door is not latched, and opened when turning right.

Hit from behind. Rage driver attempted manslaughter trying to force us into high speed traffic. Hit us a 2nd time. Driver hitting us refused to yield information; name, address, insurance, registration. Obtained via oceanside CA. Police incident # 2300118069. Cause- no accountability due to no fault insurance practices.

The front doors has issues shutting and staying latched. I went to make a left turn this am and the passenger door flew open. I stopped to shut it and then neither of the front doors would shut and stay shut. I held the 2 doors shut with a belt till I could turn around and get back to the house.

My truck's instrument cluster fails to turn on preventing me from seeing mph,fuel level, etc. Ford has a recall number(17c01) for this exact issue but my vehicle's VIN is not included.

The rear sliding window top rail has dislodged itself and the sliding window is now loose and does not create a proper seal.

Rear window exploded sitting in my closed garage. Did a lot of research on it and apparently this has been happening to numerous people dating back to 2010 on all the f series picks. Ford refuses to issue a recall. Children can be hurt by this. Something must be done.

Cam phasers make engine rattle at startup and idle. A recall has been put out but the dealer did not get the issue fix and sold it anyway. Also rear sensors don't work right.

No warning back seat driver window exploded while we were driving 65mph. Middle lane hwy83 April 14 at 9 20 am. We had just turned ac on when we heard what sounded like a gunshot. There were no bridges or trucks near . We noticed a softball hole in middle of window all the rest of window was still there. No glass inside the cab. Pulling over to side of highway we noticed glass in bed of truck. We contacted the dealer immediately who said no recall! contact your insurance.

Both front door latches have issues. When I enter the vehicle and attempt to shut the door, it doesnt latch closed. Instead the door just bounces back open. The only way I found to get the latch to engage is by locking the door not with the interior switch but with the keyfob lock button. Once I do that while the door is open, I can shut the door and it will latch closed. Issue is sporadic.

The door latches are still freezing open and closed so the doors will not open or close properly. Took it to the dealership and they said Ford will not cover it because the latches are not part of the recall apparently.

I have a 2017 Ford F-150 I bought in April 2022 with 113,000 miles on it. I need a turn signal bulb replace on the passenger side and that was done and then I found out I have a recall on the vehicle since may 2022. Never received a recall letter-nothing! now I find out that I have a water pump leak, oil pan issues, gasket by the motor is leaking. I have had the vehicle less than a year now have 119,000 miles on it and have all of these problems and the dealership did admit that the F-150 Ford truck have had and are known for oil pan leaking issues and have not let anyone know. Underneath my truck it was saturated with oil and I found at least 25 complaints online and at least 95 more that I did not print out. How can I have a vehicle less than a year with not even 7,000 miles on it and have all of these problems? one mechanic said they thought the dealer who sold it knew about the oil pan leak as bad as it was and the other person at a car dealer in the service department could not say yes or no but thought it was unusual. I would like the company checked into and see if they did knew about the oil pan leak and the recall and I was not notified by letter before I bought the vehicle that there was a recall. It showed on the bill of sale and when I asked about the recall on the bill of sale they said it was taken care of as far as they knew. I feel I got a vehicle that had things wrong with it and was never told. Is it because I am a 80 year old person that needed a vehicle I feel I was taking advantage of. I just wanted to have something I could trust with no problems. Can you help or no?.

Symptoms of clock spring failure in steering wheel (buttons only working on half of steering wheel, horn not working). There are recalls for this same issue on other model Fords where at appears the airbag may be implicated. There is no recall for this on my model year, and Ford could not provide insight as to whether my airbag was also implicated.

Oil pan is leaking and was told that it was a common problem happening. I believe this is unsafe that can leave my family on the side of the road. Yes the problem was confirmed by the dealership service department and was told it has been a problem. There was no warning lamps before this problem. I know that the repair will be $1,100 which I will pay for that on Friday when I pick up the truck.

The driver’s side door will not latch once it is opened when the ambient temperature is below 25 fahrenheit. The door has come open while driving, requiring the driver to hold it shut while finding a safe pull off. It has come unlatched and swung open around corners, even though it was locked.

Driver and passenger front door’s locking mechanism would not latch in freezing temperatures. Doors would not latch and caused a safety issue. This has not been reviewed by dealership.

Doing cold weather, the driver side door locks has frozen on several occasions causing the latch to become inoperable to latch. As a result, I am unable to lock the door after closing it and the door swings open before moving the vehicle. I have not been able to schedule an appointment at this time. The vehicle was purchased used from carmax in brandywine, MD. , on March 22, 2022. I was informed that the vehicle had passed a full inspection prior to the sale. There were no warning lights or recall notices issued regarding the vehicle.

When it is cold below 20 degrees, the drivers door won’t latch when closed until the truck warms up inside a heated building or you have the heat on high inside for 20-25 minutes. Having to hold the door closed while driving until it gets warm enough in the car to latch. It has happened the last 5 times I have driven it. It is cold here now. I have talked to other people and mechanics and they have said it happens and possibly going back to all Ford cars and trucks back to 2012. I have a ratchet strap I have to use on both front doors to hold them both shut until it gets warm enough for the latch to release. It is not the c latch that hooks onto the post. It is a latch inside that releases the latch. I have not brought it in as there is no recall on this yet and I can’t afford to have them look at it. It can be available anytime to be looked at if needed. There is no prior notice of this happening and then the door ajar light comes on.

I was sitting in the drive thru with my kids when my daughter said there was smoke from behind her. Shortly after that the back window shattered into many peices onto them inside the car. It’s ridiculous that there has been many complaints of the same issue yet no recall issued.

I have a issue my Ford f150 under warranty after driving and come to a traffic light or a stop stalls (shuts off)sometimes. And I took it to a Ford dealership for repairs no check engine and they did find anything and stalls come when oil change is needed to be changed. And I am confused what to do I drive my kids in this car this is not safe .

The lead frame in the transmission is going bad and I have seen this happen on the internet with this type truck. You will be running 60 and it will drop into 1 or 2 gear throwing you into the steering wheel. It is for sure a safety issue.

Since purchasing this vehicle from a dealership, I have had repeated problems with getting a blue screen on the rearview camera when truck is in reverse. This results in no visibility for backing up other than mirrors. A soft reset would often resolve the issue. However, now it is nothing but a blue screen. Why is the recent recall not including the f150 trucks?.

The oil pan on this model vehicle with a 2. 7 l engine does not hold oil. Ford knows that this is an issue and created a new product with an integrated gasket to put on the vehicle. The part will not be available for an entire year. I was told that there are approximately 3300 people on the waiting list for the new part. I have replaced my oil pan four times, including aftermarket parts that are based off of Fords design, and nothing works. My five year old truck is completely undrivable because the oil keeps leaking. Ford refuses to do anything about it in the meantime. I was forced to buy a second vehicle, because this one is not drivable. The oil pan is leaking on all f150s of this model. Ford won’t buy the vehicle back from me either. So my truck will not run due to Fords faulty part design.

The truth caught on fire driving down the road with passengers. It started on the passenger side and engulfed the truck. Insurance is investigating it.

Lug nuts swollen and needs to be replaced.
