The rr turn signal does not work at all. The rr brake light does not work at all. The rf turn signal flashes fast. The rf running light does not stay lit when using the remote to unlock the vehicle.

Tl the contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the driver's side rear brake lamp and turn signal were inoperable.

Vehicle is equipped with automatic headlights that will turn on/off high beams. The high beams should turn on when conditions ahead are acceptable and off when oncoming traffic is present. However, the automatic system frequently gets confused by oncoming headlights, turn signals and street lights, etc. , which causes it to flash the high beams briefly at oncoming traffic. On two occasions oncoming drivers thought this high beam flash was a signal to them to go ahead and they turned in front of me, nearly causing and accident. Flashing high beams briefly is commonly done in our area to signal other drivers to go ahead. The automatic high beams should be reprogrammed to prevent flashing them at oncoming traffic. Note that we have a different make/model vehicle with the same type of headlight system that works flawlessly without this problem.

Intermittent advance trac error message seems to cause turn signals to malfunction (you have to hold lever in position to keep flashers on to indicate turning/lane change). Problem goes as mysteriously as it came- from 5mph to 55mph. Turning traction control off has no effect on it. In two weeks this problem lasted for about 10 minutes on one occasion; and from my morning commute (25min) to my evening commute (25min) on another.

No left rear break light, no left rear turn light, only flashes quickly on left side mirror and left front turn signal. Had it tested with 3 different mechanics, who all state modular defect. Two different Ford dealers claim no issue with vinn#, yet there are recalls for same issue. Problem is both stationary and moving. New bulbs short out. Unable to get vehicle inspected due to issue.
3/7/2017 20 minute drive home, shut truck off to run inside house cameout to run errand to pharmacy and upon starting truck after pharmacy service advance trac showed up in instrument cluster, this has also caused my turn signals not to work. This truck has had a faulty tourque convertor, rear window replacement due to break in rear window defroster. Now this, I do not feel safe in this vehicle and will be pursuing the lemon law in my state. When safety issues arise and are reported they should be acted on immediatly! should not wait til numbers of deaths before action is taken. A conscientious automaker with customer safety in mind would put out recalls to keep the public safe.

Started my truck around 9 pm and placed the transmission in reverse, had to back down a long straight parking lot, speeds of at least 15 mph. Came to a complete stop, shifted the transmission into drive and pulled out onto a main road, hit the merge turn signal and heard nothing. I diddnt think much of it, thought I diddnt hit the turn signal arm hard enough. Turning onto main road and hit turn signal again, no sound. Looked at dashboard, everything is off, no back lighting and no gauge movement/lights at all. Exterior lights work but not reverse lights, turn truck on and off 3x with no resolution to the problem. 4th try finally reboots the computer and has run fine since then.
When the "service advance track" light indicator lights up, when you actuate the turn signal lever, the turn signals will only flash once, and then they stop flashing. This can happen when the vehicle is stationary or moving at any time.
Left turn signal stuck on, right turn signal inoperable.

The multi-function switch on my 2003 Ford F-150 harley davidson is faulty. It fails intermittently causing the left turn signal to not function at all. It affects the hazard flashers as well. It works only intermittently and then fails again. I have had no accidents and the vehicle had only about 48,000 miles when the failure started. I have almost been rear-ended several times due to the left turn signal failing.
The front turn signals on many new cars are not visible from a cross street at all in the sun , the far signal is not visible because it is so far back it should be called a side marker light. Get them back up front where they are useful !!
also the driving lights that are now are not dims , but are being used as such. Not so many years ago , you would have been stopped for driving with auxiliary lights on!!.

The abs sensor continues to stay on, the turn signals and overhead console fail intermittently. Dealer states they cannot duplicate the problem.
I have 2001 Ford F-150 pickup truck. The problem is with the turn signals. They cancel after you turn them on if you turn the wheel to the left or right. It takes very little movement of the wheel to cancell the turn signal. If it would only cancell if you turned in the direction of the turn it would be okay.

Turn signals have never functioned right since it was bought. You have to jiggle the turn signal stock to get them to blink. And you have to hold them a certain position before they blink. There have been no recalls. Have talked to Ford and they said that it would cost the consumer $800. 00 to fix the problem. Have talked to dealer also, and that was no help.
1997 Ford F-150 with recall on the speed control system. Consumer states that the dealer charged him $68. 00 for a diagnosis fee for stating there was a recall for the speed control. Consumer states that he should not have been charged the $68. 00. The dealer wanted to charge the consumer to repair the fire damage to the wiring and other components that was done to the vehicle as a result of a faulty switch that was recalled. The turn signal did not stay on when making a turn .
When making a left or right turn turn signal indicator will not remain latched within the mechanism. Lever will latch in if vehicle is moving straight on, but will not if vehicle is turning left or right.
