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

Door latch on both front doors continues to intermittently freeze and will not either open or allow the doors to remain closed.

Drivers door and passenger door freezes in cold weather and does not close completly.

My 2017 Ford F-150 demonstrates every single aspect of an existing recall for 2017 f150 vehicles. However my VIN number is not included in the recall. My truck shifts suddenly in and out of gear causing me to have momentary instances of no power. This has happened, for example, turning left on busy roads with acceleration disappearing in critical moments. The vehicle downshifts suddenly on occasion. The gear indicator moves rapidly between gear 10 and gear 1. The vehicle routinely does not downshift to 1st gear at stoplights. The vehicle often shifts hard from gear to gear. The vehicle sometimes cannot go to the next gear, say from 7 to 8, and will be in some version of neutral during this time before finally connecting. Electronic issue plague this particular vehicle. All of these items have been noted in the existing recall. I am requesting an expansion of the recall to include all 2017 Ford f150's with 10 speed transmission. Ford dealer has indicated I need to replace the transmission for close to $10k. And they noted they see this problem constants - showing me a stack of folios in their repair facility for the same reason. The problem has been diagnosed by Ford dealer and an independent qualified transmission specialist shop this is an ongoing issue - per the questions below there is no specific date associated with the issue.

Oil pan leaking, front oil pan leaking on rh. Valve covers failed for updated oil pan. Rtd seal leak. Seen that this is a current recall. But my VIN isn't showing this recall. But I'm having this issue.

Transmission will change gears while driving. I can be driving 45 mph in traffic, truck will automatically shift and I'm now going 15 and cannot speed up. There is no warning lites on dash before issue occurs. Called dealership who had no solutions to offer. I cannot be the only one experiencing this issue from reading online forums and Ford needs to be held accountable for faulty equipment. This is a safety issue in traffic for my family.

2017 Ford f150 raptor transmission 10r80 has been many complaints of Ford owners due to safety issues. My truck jerks from park to drive. Also when driving, the gears don't shift correctly. I'm hoping their is a solution that Ford needs to pay and take care of this transmission problem. As in the meantime I have my Ford truck in the dealership hoping it can be a recall.

The thin decorative steel cover on the wheel lug nuts are cracking at the corners and deforming to the extent that they would be difficult to get off with the provided tire wrench in a roadside tire failure. My tire shop had to drive a socket on, then drive it off.

I was driving home and noticed that the back mirror light was on. I tried to turn it off using the button, but it wouldn't go off. Confused, I pulled over to the side to check what was wrong and found that the rear sliding glass was leaning forward on my back seat. The track that was apparently holding it in place had come unglued! I could not believe it. It was raining and I was still a one hour drive away from home.

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.

Paint chipping on tailgate and roof.

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.

I have changed this transmission twice, and the truck still turns off when it comes to a complete stop at an intersection. It hesitates, skips, and pulls back when driving.

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.
