My truck truck won't start. We could jump it and it would be fine. I took it to ford and found out it was a bad Body control module and there was a nationwide backorder. I found on line a recall for other F-150 but didn't included mine. I was able to have mine repaired. Now I was pulling my camper home from Maine, parked the truck at home. The next morning I had a notice on the dash to have power steering serviced, found out the rack and pinion is bad. Again found others on-line with the same issue. I am lucky it didn't happen while towing or when my wife was driving. I also now have the same issues with a 2012 F-150. I feel like it needs to be investigated and Ford needs to make it right. I will fill out a complaint for the 2012 truck.

A Recall Repair (19S07) was performed on 4/24/2023 at which time the truck had 161711 miles. Prior to the Recall Repair I had not experienced any issues at all. I had only brought the truck into Ford Service for a different repair at which time they took care of the Recall (19S07). On 7/9/2023 the truck would not start (No Crank/No Start) A Tow Truck Service was called at which time confirming that the battery was in good condition, however at the time he came, the truck was able to start. Later that week, we experienced this strange issue again (intermittent no crank) and the truck was driven into a local service center where no service codes were showing because the truck was in working condition. Out of concern for the safety of the future reliability of this intermittent starting, the mechanic suggested we consider changing the batter cables, and felt considering the age of the truck that we could consider changing the starter. With concern, I decided to move forward with those repairs. Two days after the new battery cables and a new starter was placed, the truck once again would not start. I had the truck towed back to this mechanic where he was then able to confirm it was an issue with the Transmission Lead Frames communication and that the truck thinks it is in park. I then called the Ford Service Department where the Transmission Lead Frame Recall was performed to report the issue and was told that indeed the recall repair/or issues with the recall could be the issue, so I had the truck towed back to them where they confirmed the issue and reported that this issues were considered part of the recall issue but now that my truck was out of the mileage warranty, I would have to pay for the repairs. The truck had 161711 miles when the original recall was performed. It had 167174 miles when the new repairs were done. There should be a warranty on the recall repair work performed. I have already paid for the repairs. Can you help me?

Back in february or march of this year (2020), I took my truck to a local ford dealer for an estimate on a couple of different repairs and also for them to perform recall #19v075. After having my vehicle for 3 days they did not perform any repairs. And until today when I looked up my VIN, I had assumed that they would have at least done the safety recall. But they apparently neglected to do that too. Well, last night when I was about to pull into my driveway, my truck seemed to downshift abruptly and have minimal power and various lights turned on and off on the dash. Then this morning, my truck would not start. It would only start in neutral, followed by extremely aggressive shifting into drive and reverse. Aggressive enough to cause the truck to move a couple of feet even with my foot on the brake. This subsequent problem appears to be associated with fsa 19n01 that ford has associated with my VIN. I suppose that it is unknown right now if the two problems are related. I will find out wednesday, as I have an appointment to take my truck back in. I just cannot believe that after having my vehicle for multiple days, they failed to perform the safety recall update as I requested. I am lucky that I did not experience the downshifting problem while at higher speeds! I am not sure if this is even worthy of a complaint, but I figured that I should pass this along. The dealership is van horn ford in oconomowoc, wi.

I have several occasion for the past couple of years of my f150 not starting when turning the key on. I have taken it to the ford dealership several times but they couldn't determine the problem. I've had several occasion of the low oil pressure light turn on and the vehicle has stalled. Just recently I was making a right turn and at a small angle and the truck completely stalled out while driving. I had to coast to a stop without any power steering until it finally stopped. I tried to crank it over but it wouldn't start. After about 5 minutes it finally started without issue. I've had it stall twice while I lost total control of my truck and it is extremely dangerous. I had to tow it to my dealership again today. I think I may have finally found the issue which may point to a faulty 20amp fuel pump fuse. I found some articles pointing to fuse 27 and sure enough it was burnt on one side. I am completely shocked that ford is aware of this issue and not issuing a mandatory recall until all these trucks are fixed. Had this been on the freeway it could have been a complete failure of the vehicle which may have caused a serious or life threatening accident. Please force a recall.

Complaint our 2011 ford f150 had an involuntary airbag deploy on the passenger side of the vehicle. After further review from the ford dealer they maintain that they do not know what the cause is. Currently ford is reviewing however, will not respond to when the evaluation will take place or how long the evaluation will take and that ford council is "reviewing" however, they will not tell us when we can expect a response or remedy if at all. Additionally, the vehicle will not start and ford dealer and ford corporate are telling us, thought the vehicle does have a short in the electrical system and there are melted wires that could have caught fire had we not stopped the vehicle, they are not sure the premature airbag deployment and the short circuit of the wiring are related. Though the incident happened at the same time the ford dealer maintains that they are not convinced that it failures are related. We were driving down the highway out of state from where we live and the dealer was over hundred miles from the occurrence and it has now been 7 days at the dealer with no resolve offered not do we know when we might hear back. Currently the dealer refuses to work on the truck until they hear from ford and ford told us it is under review with legal and no actions will be done until "legal council" has reviewed. We have a customer service representative and we call daily and it appears that there have been other with the same problem. Can we obtain how this was resolved?
