Fuel pump fuse blows without provocation leaving vehicle without power. Went out to start vehicle and it would only turn over but never start. Found this to be a consistent problem on the web and was able to replace the fuse and vehicle started immediately.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford f-150. On several occasions, while driving, the door ajar indicator illuminated, indicating that the door was ajar. The contact stated that the rear driver's and passenger side doors were closed. Upon further inspection, he noticed that the wires were fractured. The contact called cloninger ford of morgantown at (828) 584-4600(1001 jamestown rd, morgantown, nc 28655) and took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the driver's side wiring harness needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to call the federal safety agency. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
My high school daughter was driving our 2010 f150 on the way to school today and it failed in the left turn lane at a busy intersection, and it would crank but not start. People were honking their horns and my daughter missed classes. She could have been re-end and injured for the rest of her life. I had the vehicle towed to a garage and they said it was a known issue related to a fuse/fuse box wire and they are looking for a fusebox bypass kit that ford has put together to fix this problem. This is a known issue that several people have reported. Https://ca.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-c21953_ds740770. This is a safety issue! She could have been rear-ended and injured for the rest of her life! Repair cost to install ford's bypass kit was $360. Ford knows about this and did not notify us to my knowledge.
Like hundreds of others, driving and put rear defroster on and a minute later heard a gunshot like noise and my back rear right winidow exploded. Dogs in the backseat, was not pretty and scared the heck out of me while driving. Isn't there a recall on this yet?
My truck cranks but won't start. The fuse to the fuel pump relay was blown. I understand this is a problem with many truck owners and ford is offering a bypass kit for this system for $400-$500. Shouldn't this be a recall if they're having to install a bypass kit?
The 20 amp fuse for the fuel pump is melting in the fuse block. This is all over the internet and is a known problem by ford dealers. This 2010 year is the problem everyone is having. Ford has yet to have a recall but with all the problems it is not going to long until someone is stranded and they bypass the fuse and start a fire. Ford does need to address this problem .I do not have any pictures of mine I changed over the weekend but there is plenty on line that is how we found why my truck would not start. It is only a matter of time before a fire may start from this melting of the fuse block.
Tpms module continually looses contact with wheel sensors and displays "tire pressure sensor fault" in the instrument cluster. Discount tire has replaced and resynced three times and it continues to happen. The fault usually occurs when on the freeway. About 30 days after having it fixed. The other issue is continual problems with the apim module. This is a safety concern if you're unable to make a phone call because you're having constant bluetooth issues. It has come to my attention through a google search that many people with the same model and vintage are having this problem, and ford is trying their best to blame peoples phones for causing problems rather than accepting responsibility for it. My truck is in the dealer having this issue looked at for a third time now. I'm finally getting them to replace the apim under my extended factory warranty.
Ford f150 4x4 xlt, dash board keeps going out. Shows skidding, and tire sensor faulty, dingging, A/C goes hot, inside lights don't work. Has happened many times, spoke with ford took it in, they stated they could not duplicate the problem, which we have found out is a lie. They stated we needed a new battery, which we had tested as well as the alternator and nothing wrong there either. We took it to advanced auto to see what they could tell us. A young man said that ford had put out a inside notice that his buddy showed him of a faulty wiring harness in the dash. He asked if he could show us a short term fix...he smacked the dash and all the lights came back on. If we hit a bump it will do it again, or on really hot days, because of the heat. We are waiting on ford to recall this as it is a serious hazard and maybe start fires. As sometimes you smell electrical, this happens daily when ever we drive the truck, you can have a wreck trying to smack it hard enough to get it to come back on. This happens when you are sitting in the truck , driving, or when you go to start it up...you will have no gauges, lights A/C or heat in the winter. Yet the outside lights will work, yet when you push the brakes you hear a loud clicking. This has been happening for approx. 2.5 yrs +...ford needs to recall and fix this. Everyday we deal with this problems multiple times a day. We brought this truck new and it first did this around 23,000 miles. Now at just over 50,000 miles. There are times that smacking the dash does notwork and we have to wait for it to come on, those time you have to run with traffic or if others are passing you need to speed up. Very dangerous
The instrument cluster fails at start up not come on no speedometer or anything on the instrument cluster as well as sometimes it wont start
Fuel pump relay fuse melted. 2010 f-150 2 wd v8, was driving and pulling a trailer (within the vehicle's parameters weight wise, I.e. Not overloaded, and in fact it continued with the empty trailer) and the truck began stalling randomly, usually when going up a hill. This is very dangerous as I was hauling valuable horses up hilly roads at the time. I had it repaired at a local dealership (crain ford, little rock, arkansas 501‑570‑3737) which involved moving the fuse to a different spot. It seems to be acting up again after less than a week. I paid a lot of money to "fix" it and it needs to stay fixed!

The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 197,664.
The door ajar light stays on. After closing all doors repeadtly, the driver side door light says its still ajar. The dangerous part is that the cab lights stay on the whole time while driving at night. Also, when done driving and after locking the truck, the lights still stay on running down the battery.
Rear defrost began to smoke and shattered glass. Glass shards fell into rear seating area. Vehicle was in reverse gear.

My 2010 ford f-150 air condition system blows out cool air on the drivers side and hot air on the passenger side.when the air is turned on.
The truck has had this issue since I've purchased the truck but can never duplicate the issue while at the dealership. The 1st time the engine would crank but would not fire. The second time, I was driving and the truck just stopped. I was lucky enough some passing by motorist helped to push it out of the intersection. 3rd time, the truck was parked and did not start. After troubleshooting the issue, the fuel pump relay fuse burned out. Normally fuses just pop, this one just burned out to where I could not take out the fuse. Took the truck to was bought at and after a few hours, the problem was located. The shop foreman stated that they have had alot of trucks go in with the same issue. Only reason I making a complaint is due to that comment. It is a safety issue when I was driving and truck shuts off in the middle of the intersection. What if my sons were with me? Hope this gets resolved and a recalled is made before something worse happens to someone else. Thank you.
"ignition cylinder fell out while driving. While driving my vehicle the ignition cylinder (including my keys) fell out of the steering column. The vehicle kept running, power steering and brakes were still functioning and steering wheel was able to be turned. I pulled over to the side of the road and found the ignition cylinder containing my keys on the floor mat of my vehicle. I was able to drive the vehicle home - however I was not able to turn off the engine with the key after I arrived home. I pulled the negative battery cable to kill the engine. I called dorian ford and was told this is a common failure and for $375 this could be fixed (per roxanne, service advisor @ dorian ford). I found this incredible that a service advisor would indicate this is a common failure. This was quite scary for the first few moments when I heard the cylinder fall out and then hit my leg on its way to the floor. My first thought was this is the same scenario that occurred on gm vehicles with the ignition cylinder.
I own a 2010 ford f-150 fx4 pickup, purchased new october 2009. Approximately in 2013 the rear window defroster stopped working. The truck is equipped with a power rear sliding window from ford. I took the truck to my local ford dealer to address the issue. The ford dealer service department advised me the problem was with the window itself, and would not be covered under warranty, or ford at all. I have noticed many complaints on the web from owners of ford pickups of the same year and model, the majority of them experiencing broken rear windows, smoke and damage. Like many, I have a small child that sits in a rear facing child's car seat, and am very concerned about this problem. It is very apparent ford is aware of this safety issue, but is not willing to admit to it, or take steps to address it. This issue is a ticking time bomb for ford pickup owners, always worrying if it will happen to them, and when.
Turned on the rear defrost on the vehicle this morning as it was sitting still warming up. Temp=40f. Came outside with the back glass smoking and on fire, melting the plastic trim on the passenger side of the back glass. Minutes later the glass broke, spidering the entire panel on the passenger side.
It was 7 degrees this morning and there was ice on my rear window. I turned on the electric defrost and about 5 minutes later I hear a loud bang. The passenger side rear window exploded / shattered into pieces. We called ford and they are not willing to rectify the situation or addres it in any way.
While driving I turned on the defroster for the back window and approx. 1 minute later the passenger side rear section of the back window shattered I was driving about 25 miles an hour after making a turn this happened.
Truck stalls coming to a stop at red lights/stop signs. Also stalls while simply driving down a street or highway/interstate. After shutting down recently (while driving on the interstate), the truck was towed. I was traveling at 65mph on interstate at the time and was able to drift into emergency lane. After several tests, learned there was a problem in the fuse box. The fuse to the fuel pump was melted in the fuse box. Was told the fuel pump on these years pulls more than required amps and is overheating the fuse and melting it. Was told the fuse box would need to be replaced and ford has a 4 to 6 week back order on these. Because of so many issues. Not fair for consumers to pay for this engineering mistake.
I turned on my defrost on my rear truck window, let the truck warm up as it was -5, started to drive down the street, doing 50 km, heard a loud "pop" and the back sliding window shattered on the driver's side. Luckily it stayed intact as I was on my way to work. I stopped at ford to see what they could do, as I researched the problem and hundreds of people have experienced this same issue with the ford trucks. The service manager at ford said he coulnd't do anything for me as I no longer had warranty. He wanted to charge me $1200 for a new window. I called ford motor co. And they also said they couldn't do anything about it (even tho it is a common problem). I had the window fixed by an independent company for half the price ford would have charged. I believe this should be a recall, as it is certainly a safety hazard. There are several complaints about this issue on the federal safety agency site.
Fuel pump relay fuse (#27) will either blow or melt in fuse box. Replacing fuse will only fix problem temporarily, as melted area in fuse box will cause new fuse to not make consistent contact, leading to vehicle not starting when hot, or even engine cutting off while driving, causing really bad safety issue. Very difficult problem to fix, as dealers either give you the run around or want to replace entire fuse box and engine wiring harness which costs about $2000, parts and labor. 'solution' is to find wire to relay in fuse box, very difficult, and splice in an inline fuse. Have had mechanic and towing fees over $1000 so far, and still only have a bypass fuse installed. Local dealer was aware of the issue, as they see this problem all of the time, was told to call ford, which had never heard of the problem. Another ford owner next door has the exact same problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford f-150. While driving at an unknown speed, the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The failure was intermittent. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the entire passenger side seat belt module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000. Updated 02/12/16*lj; 04/19/18*jb
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ford f-150. While driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the main harness cable connection to the fuse box overheated and malfunctioned. The harness was replaced, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was not available.
Wiring harness on 2010 ford f-150 4x4 burns up at fuse box. Original harness was replaced by dealer in 2013. Second harness burnt up at fuse box after 16 months. Waiting for new harness at present time. It is the fuel pump connection that is burning up in the box by the fuse. When the harness burns through, the vehicle automatically stops, even while in motion. This constitutes a safety hazard as no notice occurs before burn up. No warning lights appear on dash to warn of this. Nothing has been done to correct the failure, other than replacing the wire harness that is burning up. They have done nothing to correct the reason for the burn up. All that has been done is replacement of the part that is damaged.. Have been waiting for over a month for parts. Other vehicles at the dealership are also experiencing this same issue.
The truck was parked facing down on a moderate hill. When the truck was started and the shift lever moved from park to drive, the transmission remained locked up (still in park) and the visual gear selector indicator did not illuminate showing any gear selected. After a few seconds, the transmission shifted into drive and the shift indicator illuminated in the gear selected. Applying gas during the "pause shift" period resulted in a rapid and uncontrolled acceleration when the shift occurred and this resulted in a significant accident. After the accident, the truck was examined by a ford dealership technician and the transmission control modulator (TCM) was reprogrammed.
