Air Conditioner Problems of Ford F-150

While driving, the engine light turned on. When I approached a stoplight, the engine began to shudder and stall. As soon as I placed the engine in park, the rpms increased and the engine felt like it was not going to stall. It still had some shaking going on. At the next traffic light, I stayed in drive and the engine died. I was able to restart the car and get home. During this time I was using no other features in the truck. Nothing was charging, the air conditioning was off, the lights were off, and the radio was off. I called the dealership I purchased the vehicle from, and they would not even look at it. I called several other Ford dealerships in the nearby area, and they would not look at it citing either covid reasons or no technicians on hand.

I have a 2016 f150 with issues similar to NHTSA complaint id# 10127407. The problems are not intermittent, the part has failed & is not available from Ford at this time. The air conditioning quits completely & you cannot run the fan at all. You cannot roll down any windows in the vehicle & the vehicle gets well over 90 degrees inside while driving. This is a huge safety issue because when this doesn't work it also disables the airbags of the vehicle, cross traffic alert as well as tire pressure monitor failure along with other safety features. The seats no longer retract or move forward when the vehicle is started/shutoff. The key fob intermittently will not lock the doors of the vehicle & the alert on the truck says key not found. With the warm temperatures and no way to roll down the windows or turn on the ac or a blower fan makes this vehicle extremely unsafe to operate.

Fuse 14 controlling abs module, dtr sensor, reverse lights, pcv heater, air conditioner compressor, cruise control deactivator switch and daytime headlights was repeatedly blowing. Truck was serviced by dealer on 3-23-16, replacing the a/c compressor. Replacing the a/c compressor did not resolve any issues. The truck was returned to the dealer on 4-6-16 for the same issue with the same fuse. The dealership replaced the fuse and performed diagnostic tests on the truck, then informing me that they could not diagnose or locate the short. The dealership informed me that I would have to drive the truck until the fuse started blowing more frequently. The first time the truck was driven after work was performed the cruise control was not functioning properly. The truck engine would surge as the truck went down the road with the cruise control on. The issue with the cruise control happened on 4-9-16. On the morning of 4-10-16 the truck was driven approximately 4 miles and parked in the drive of my home. After entering the house the alarm was heard sounding on the vehicle, at which time I stepped outside to find the truck on fire. The fire seemed to have started on the inside of the truck.

When the air conditioner is on low and recirculate, there is a strong chemical smell like paint thinner or adhesive coming out of the panel vents. Prolonged exposure causes headaches and dizzyness.

On February 13, 2014, my Ford 2011 F-150 ecoboost began to show signs of limited throttle response coupled with a drastic reduction in power output and moderate to severe engine vibration. These symptoms occurred and were most severe under heavy engine load, while traveling uphill, high outside air temperature and with the air conditioner on. General locations: mojave high desert (joshua tree, CA) and the greater palm springs, CA area. Weather conditions were generally dry with low humidity. On February 15, 2014 the symptoms described above were so violent that the check engine came on (flashing) and I pulled off the road for my own safety. I shut off the engine, allowed it to rest¿� and then turned the engine back on. The symptoms did not disappear completely, but they were reduced and the check engine light was no longer illuminated. On February 20, 2014 I brought my truck to yucca valley Ford to have the problem diagnosed. Mileage at the time of the service was 68,382 miles. A diagnosis was performed and it was determined that the engine was misfiring on the number 1 cylinder due to worn spark plugs. All 6 spark plugs were replaced and the symptoms disappeared. The truck ran fine until approximately June, 2014. The symptoms slowly began to reoccur and by early August, had fully returned. On August 8, 2014, while traveling at freeway speeds, up a steep grade, with external air temperatures in the low 100 degrees, low humidity, and the air conditioner on, the truck nearly lost all power, began to misfire and vibrate violently, and the check engine light began to flash intermittently. Upon reaching the top of the grade and the load on the engine reduced, the symptoms were reduced. The truck was again brought to the yucca yalley Ford service center on Saturday August 9, 2014 where it is currently awaiting diagnosis.

1997 Ford F-150. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle repaired with defective parts. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer because of an a/c problem. The a/c clutch assembly was making noise when the air conditioning was turned off. As the dealer was preparing to install a new a/c clutch assembly, the compressor fell apart when they removed the clutch. So, the vehicle needed a new compressor as well. The consumer gave approval for the repairs, thinking the dealer was going to use new parts. On June 25, 2011, as the consumer was driving 65 mph, the a/c compressor suddenly seized and broke the serpentine drive belt, which took out the power steering. The vehicle pulled hard to the left and it almost took him half way into the lane of on-coming traffic. The next the day, the vehicle was towed to the dealer, where they replaced the compressor and drive belt free of charge. That is when the consumer discovered re-manufactured parts had been used. On June 114, 2012, the compressor was replaced again at no charge. On October 16, 2012, the compressor was replaced again, because it was making a loud noise.
