MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER17S33, NHTSA RECALL NUMBER17V652, RECALL STATUSRECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE.

ENGINE STALLS AT STOP (AFTER LETTING UP ON BRAKE AND AUTO START STOP RE-STARTS THE ENGINE) FOLLOWED BY "HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE" ERROR FLASHES ALONG WITH OTHER BRAKE RELATED ERRORS; VEHICLE ENGINE WON'T TURN OVER/START UNLESS TRANSMISSION IS PUT BACK INTO PARK. UPON RESTARTING ALL ENGINE ERROR/FAULT MESSAGES ARE CLEARED AND THINGS SEEM BACK TO NORMAL. TODAY WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT 7 DAYS AGO. THIS IS DANGEROUS SHOULD IT HAPPEN ENTERING AN INTERSECTION. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO LIVERMORE FORD AND THEY SAID THAT SINCE IT IS INTERMITTENT WITHOUT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE IT.

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 56 YEARS, WHEN I GET OUT OF AN AUTOMATIC VEHICLE I PUT IT IN PARK EVEN WITH THE MOTOR RUNNING. ON 4/5, I PARKED MY TRUCK (CITY GOVERNMENT VEHICLE) MOTOR RUNNING, TO PUT RAINGEAR IN MY PERSONAL VEHICLE. I PLACED THE TRUCK IN PARK OPENED THE DRIVER'S DOOR, GRABBED MY JACKET AND WALKED TO MY PERSONAL VEHICLE (15 FEET AWAY) AND PLACED THE JACKET INSIDE. I THEN WALKED BACK TO MY CITY TRUCK, OPENED THE PASSENGER DOOR GOT MY RAIN SLICKER FROM THE FLOOR BOARD, CARRIED THE SLICKER TO MY PERSONAL CAR AND PUT IT INSIDE. I WALKED BACK TO THE TRUCK, SHUT THE TRUCK'S PASSENGER DOOR, WALKED TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE TRUCK TO GET TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN COMPLETELY STATIONARY TO THIS POINT AND AT THIS MOMENT DROVE ITSELF FORWARD INTO A PARKED VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT. I WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE. DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES WAS MINOR. THE TRUCK'S GEAR SHIFTER WAS IN "D". A POLICE REPORT WAS MADE. ONE WOULD NATURALLY ASSUME IT WAS DRIVER ERROR AND THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER IN PARK. I TOO DOUBTED MYSELF UNTIL I DISCOVERED FORD'S RECALL OF 2017 F250 TRUCKS. I MAKE THIS COMPLAINT TO YOU, THE NHTSA. A COWORKER WITNESSED THE ENTIRE INCIDENT AND REPORTED IT TO THE POLICE. THE CITY TRUCK WAS STATIONARY FOR OVER A MINUTE, AND AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS FROM THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE INCIDENT, I CANNOT LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE WITHOUT THE TRUCK MOVING FORWARD ...

DAKOTA TRAVELING 50-55 MPH ON INTERSTATE 95 HIT FORD TRAVELING 20 MPH NEAR EXIT RAMP CAUSING FORD TO HIT CADILLAC TRAVELING 10MPH CAUSING CADILLAC TO HIT MURANO, RESULTING IN 4 CAR ACCIDENT. 2017 FORD TOOK BRUNT OF HITS DUE TO SPEED OF DAKOTA. 2017 FORD DEEMED TOTALED. AIRBAGS ON 2017 FORD DID NOT DEPLOY, THOUGH SENSORS APPEARED ACTIVATED--SEE PHOTOS THAT SHOW LIGHTS ON. ALL INTERVIEWED AT BODYSHOP, INSURANCE ADJUSTER ETC. DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY CONSIDERING THE SPEED OF HIT FROM BEHIND AND THE FORCE OF HITS ON BOTH SIDES, DAMAGE, AND SENSORS ACTIVATED.

FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO MONTHS, I HAVE HAD TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE A HOSE COMES OFF THE AIR BAG. THIS CAUSES AN ALARM AND CAUSES THE PASSENGER AIR BAGS TO FAIL. THIS CHRONIC FAILURE PUTS THE PASSENGER AT RISK ANY TIME IT DECIDES TO FAIL. IF THE DRIVER DOES NOTE THE SMALL LIGHT, THEY COULD OPERATE FOR YEARS WITH NO PASSENGER PROTECTION. THIS SHOULD BE PERMANENTLY FIXED. TWICE IN TWO MONTHS IS A CHRONIC FAILURE AND MAY BE A DESIGN FLAW.. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE, IT IS THAT WAY MOVING, STANDING STILL OR IDLING.

THIS IS A BRAND NEW TRUCK I HAVE PURCHASED ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. I HAVE NOTICED SOME STRANGE BEHAVIOR OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, I HAD AN IMPRESSION THAT SOMETIMES IT WAS GETTING A BIT STUCK OR CHANGED THE POSITION ON ITS OWN. TODAY I HAVE DISCOVERED BY MYSELF THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETELY LOOSE, ALL 3 BOLTS ARE NOT TORQUED AT ALL, I COULD TURN THEM WITH MY BARE FINGERS. THIS EXPLAINS THE STRANGE BEHAVIOR I OBSERVED. LAST WEEK I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE ROUGH DOWNSHIFTING, THEY DID A TEST DRIVE (!) AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE MADE A VIDEO, I HOPE IT WILL BETTER EXPLAIN THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/B9IJTDTDQYA I DEFINITELY CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I SUSPECT FORD DOES NOT HAVE ADEQUATE QUALITY CONTROL TO ENSURE THAT THE ACCELERATOR ASSEMBLY IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY.

ON 10/22,2018, I HAD MY TRUCK SERVICED AND IT WAS NOTED THAT MY BRAKES WERE IN A "YELLOW CONDITION."

HOWEVER, MY COMPLAINT FOCUS IS THAT THE LUG NUTS ON MY 2017 FORD F-150 CAN NOT BE REMOVED. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION AND WARRANTS A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT OF ALL F-150 TRUCK WHEEL LUG NUTS AND REQUEST YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER.
