This vehicle has been a lemon ever since we purchased it new. To start the 3rd brake light would always leak during rain and ruined the headliner took it back to andy mohr ford were we purchased approx 25 times for this issue. Then we have had oil leaks about a year after purchase and it still leaks. Third the fender wells are rusting. And also all the lights on the dash are lit because the computer board failed. To date the truck only has 147k miles. This truck has been a lemon the whole time we have owned it and i am tired of sinking money in this junker. Ford needs to be held responsible for every vehicle off there assembly line.

There's been recalls on the 2009 Ford f150 and my car is having hydraulic pump issues and a couple other issues that were recalled and I was just trying to get some assistance?
Electrical system, Jan 25, 2022
Same old fuse issue, with only 56,000 miles. Ford is aware, they have a kit to by pass the problem, how ever they will not pay for repair (no recall). Cost almost $500.00 to fix their poor design issue. Buyers beware.
Electrical system, Sep 21, 2021
Fuel pump fuse failed. Known issue under TSB-15-0137. Failure of the fuel pump at speed can result in a dangerous situation. I feel this should be covered under recall as the attached picture clearly shows an electrical overload condition.

VEHICLE DIED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET. ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT FIRE. HAD TO BE TOWED TO FORD DEALER AT COST OF $90. WAS ADVISED BY DEALER SERVICE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FUSE 27 MELTED AND DAMAGED THE FUSE BOX. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR F-150 VEHICLES FOR YEARS 2009 - 2014. TSB 15-0137 WAS ISSUED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015 BUT NO RECALL WAS ISSUED. COST TO REPAIR WAS $466 OUT OF MY POCKET. FOR A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH SIX MODEL YEARS THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. JUST GLAD I WAS NOT ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

PROBLEM 1: MY TRUCKS TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGES ON SNOW AND THROWS THE WHEELS INTO A SLIDE RATHER THAN STABILIZES THE VEHICLE. I TURN SWAY AND/OR TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND IT TURNS ITSELF BACK ON WHENEVER I STOP AND THEN GET BACK IN AND RESTART THE TRUCK. PROBLEM 2: THIS TRUCK WILL NOT GIVE AN ACCURATE READ ON GAS IN THE TANK AS THE NEEDLE IS ALWAYS GETTING STUCK. I GAUGE BY MILES GONE AS TO WHEN I NEED GAS. (JUST STOPPED TO GET GAS THOUGHT I WAS OUT BUT NEEDLE WENT OVER 1/2 WHICH IS WHAT I PUT IN.) BUT THERE ARE MORE ELECTRICAL ISSUES SUCH AS THE DOORS THAT UNLOCK DURING THE NIGHT WHEN I HAVE LOCKED ALL DOORS, BY MORNING ONE OR MORE DOORS OFTEN ON PASSENGER SIDE UNLOCK THEMSELVES. AND SYNC ALWAYS DOES IT'S OWN THING WITH MY IPHONE X, NEVER KNOW IF IT WILL CONNECT OR BE DISCONNECTED WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES IT GOES FROM HANDS FREE ANSWER IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONVERSATION TO SUDDENLY IN PRIVACY MODE. THESE PROBLEMS ARE WHILE IN MOTION AND SOMETIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. PROBLEM 3: TRUCK SPEEDOMETER IS VERY DIFFICULT TO READ DUE TO HASH MARKS FOR SPEED INSTEAD OF NUMBERS AT 20, 40, 60, ETC SPEEDS. NEARLY GOT A TICKET FOR LOOKING DOWN TOO LONG TO READ MY DISPLAY. STARTING TO HATE THIS TRUCK AS I NEVER KNOW WHAT IT WILL DO OR NOT DO. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS IT IS A CONSISTENT DISTRACTION. SO MUCH FOR SAFETY DUE TO TECHNOLOGY. IF OTHERS HAVE THESE ISSUES WELL IT'S NO WONDER PEOPLE ARE DRIVING SO BADLY NOW.

PURCHASED VEHICLE IN NOV 2018, LESS THAN ONE YEAR THAN THE DATE OF THIS CLAIM. ON NINE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING: LOSS OF ALL ELECTRICAL POWER, STEERING, ACCELERATION CONTROL, FUEL PUMP/INJECTORS, TIMING OF THE RPM, AND OTHER RELATED ISSUES LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, IMMEDIATELY AND INSTANTANEOUSLY STALLED OUT ON HIGHWAYS AND MAJOR FREEWAYS WITHOUT WARNING, SOME OF WHICH NEARLY LED TO VEHICULAR ACCIDENTS FROM SUDDEN LOSS OF ALL ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT AND POWER OF THE TRUCK, WITH HUNDREDS OF INDIVIDUALS HAVING EXPERIENCED THE SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL F-150. IN THE MIDST OF ALL OF THIS, I'VE SPENT OVER $3,500+ IN REPAIRS BETWEEN THE DATE OF PURCHASE TO DATE OF THIS CLAIM TO THE ECM, FUEL PUMP MODULE, FUEL INJECTOR HARNESS, BATTERY, IGNITION SWITCH, MASS FLOW AIR SENSOR, CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS, SERPENTINE BELT, AND NORMAL MAINTENANCE, AND HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT I NOW NEED A NEW ENGINE, ANOTHER $5,000 ON TOP OF THE PRESENT $6,784 LIEN CURRENTLY ON THE VEHICLE. THE PHYSICAL SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OTHERS HAS NOT ONLY BEEN PLACED IN JEOPARDY, BUT THIS ISSUE AND VEHICLE HAS PLACED ME IN A SERIOUS, DELINQUENT, AND SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE FINANCIAL POSITION. I CAN'T EVEN GET THE CAR TO RUN NOW, IT WILL NOT DRIVE AFTER THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED OUT 15 DAYS AGO AS I LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE ON FREEWAY; ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING AND HAD NO OIL PRESSURE. TIMING CHAINS, ROD, MAIN BEARING AND CAMSHAFTS ALL NEED REPAIR WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT I WON'T BE PLACED IN THE SAME OR SIMILAR POSITION AGAIN IF I WERE TO CORRECT, POSSIBLE BANKRUPTCY IF LEFT UNCORRECTED. FORD WANTS $400 MORE FOR INSPECTION, MAKES NO GUARANTEE ALL ISSUES WILL HE IDENTIFIED AND REFUSES TO MAKE REPAIRS OR TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR FAULTY 5.4L V8 TRITON ENGINE & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT ARE 'BUILT FORD TOUGH.' PLEASE HELP.

DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN AND QUIT RUNNING. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI TRUCK AND ONLY AVOIDED A MAJOR ACCIDENT BECAUSE I HAD ROOM TO GO TO THE RIGHT AND THE SEMI HAD ROOM TO SWERVE AROUND ME ON THE LEFT. WHEN I HAD IT TOWED TO THE FORD DEALER THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A MELTED FUSE BUT THAT THEY WERE ALREADY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAD A "FIX" KIT IN STOCK AND THE REPAIR PROCESS ALREADY DOCUMENTED TO REROUTE THAT FUSE. THIS MEANS THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I PRESUME WAS JUST WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE ISSUING A RECALL.I HAVE THE REPAIR ORDER AVAILABLE IF NEEDED. WHEN I CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THEREFORE I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ENTIRE $650.00 COST AND DID NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPS RUNNING.

THE TRUCK IS SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND AT ALL SPEEDS. MY HUSBAND HAS TO PULL AND RESET FUSE 27 TO ALLOW THE FUEL PUMP TO RECIEVE POWER.

WE ARE REQUESTING A SERVICE VOUCHER BE SENT TO OUR LOCAL DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM WE UNDERSTAND HAS ALREADY HAD A BULLETIN SENT OUT FOR. IT IS A FORD ISSUE AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE THIS BEING REMEDIED. WE WERE QUOTED A PRICE OF AROUND $300 TO CHANGE OUT THE RELAY THAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE.
