2018 Ford F-150 Owner Complaints

IN COLD WEATHER THE DOOR LATCHES FREEZE CAUSING THE DOORS TO REMAIN UNLATCHED. THIS CAUSED MY REAR DOORS TO FLY OPEN WHEN I WENT AROUND A CORNER. THERE WAS A RECALL BUT IT DOESN'T COVER THE 2018 MODEL YEAR. MY TRUCK WAS MADE IN OCT 2017, AND I TOOK DELIVERY IN MID DEC 2017. THE DEALER WILL INSPECT, BUT AS YET FORD DOESN'T APPEAR TO HAVE A FIX FOR THE ISSUE.

MY 2018 FORD F-150 WITH 7,800 MILES WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVE WAY WHILE WORKING IN MY GARAGE AT MY HOME. THE WINDOWS WERE ROLLED DOWN ABOUT 3" TO KEEP THE HEAT FROM BUILDING INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IT WAS 84 DEGREES OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE. WHEN I WAS ROLLING UP MY WINDOWS TO PUT THE TRUCK BACK IN MY GARAGE, THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW CLOSED AND I HEARD A CRACKING SOUND. NO VISIBLE CRACK WAS EVIDENT. I ROLLED THE WINDOW UP A SECOND TIME AND A VERY SMALL CRACK APPEARED IN THE UPPER CORNER WHERE THE GLASS TURNS UPWARD NEXT TO THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TOOK PICTURES AND TURNED INTO FORD. IT WAS REFUSED AS THEY STATED THEIR WAS IMPACT. MY TRUCK HAS FACTORY WINDOW GUARDS AND THERE IS NOT A MARK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE GUARD OR PAINT. I SENT A CLAIM TO FORD AND THEY STILL CLAIM IT WAS IMPACT. WELL FORD ALL I HAVE TO SAY AS WHERE THE CRACK BEGAN TO PROPAGATE THEIR IS NO WAY POSSIBLE FROM THE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE THAT YOU COULD HUMANLY POSSIBLE IMPACT THIS AREA OF THE WINDOW AS IT IS COMPLETELY CONCEALED. THIS VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY CONCRETE DRIVEWAY WHILE ROLLING UP THE WINDOWS. THERE IS ALSO NO WAY POSSIBLE THAT ANY FOREIGN MATTER COULD HAVE GOT IN THE WINDOW TRACK. THE FIRST PHOTO IS FROM THE EXTERIOR AND THE SECOND IS FROM THE INTERIOR SHOWING THAT THE WINDOW BROKE FROM THE MOST PROTECTED AREA AND DIRECTLY OFF THE CORNER OF THE GLASS WHERE IT INITIALLY STARTED.

THE DASH PANEL IS WARPING ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES AT THE TOP IN THE AREA OF THE DEFROSTER DUCTS. THIS APPEARS TO BE DIVERTING THE AIR FROM THE DEFROSTER OUTLETS AND CAUSING A REDUCED EFFECIENCY OF THE DEFROSTER SYSTEM.

VERY DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING WHILE ENTERING ROADWAYS OR INTERSTATE ROADS WITH TRAFFIC. UPON OPEN THROTTLE, A "LOW OIL PRESSURE" LIGHT TAKES OVER THE VIEWING AREA ON THE DASH CLUSTER AND THEN DISAPPEARS AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE.

3/7/2018

THE 2018 F-150 TRUCK WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND AFTER APPROXIMATELY 800 MILES THE TRUCK'S STEERING STARTED TO PULL TO THE LEFT AND THEN TO THE RIGHT. THE DIRECTION OF STEERING PULL SEEMS TO SWITCH DEPENDING ON THE LAST TURN MADE OR THE DIRECTION OF THE TRUCKS BODY ROLL, BUT ALSO CHANGES DIRECTION RANDOMLY. THE STEERING WHEEL NEEDS CONSTANT INPUT FROM THE DRIVER IN ORDER TO DRIVE STRAIGHT OR ELSE THE TRUCK WILL BE IN THE OTHER LANE OR OFF THE ROAD. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH AND ALSO ON LOCAL ROADS AT SPEEDS OF 25 MPH. THE ROAD COULD BE STRAIGHT OR CURVED AND THE STEERING WILL CONSTANTLY PULL THE VEHICLE LEFT OR RIGHT AND SEEMS TO PERIODICALLY SWITCH DIRECTIONS. FORD MOTOR CO. HAS BEEN NOTICED MULTIPLE TIMES AND REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE. THREE DIFFERENT CERTIFIED FORD TECH, AT TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE AND SAID THERE WAS A PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT ADMIT THERE IS AN ISSUE OR EVEN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. FORD MOTOR CO. CLAIMS ALL OF THEIR 2018 F-150 DRIVE THIS WAY. THEIR ADVICE TO ME WAS "KEEP YOUR HANDS ON THE WHEEL AND THE TRUCK WILL GO STRAIGHT". OF COURSE IF DRIVER FIGHTS THE STEERING WHEEL PULLING LEFT AND RIGHT CONSTANTLY, THE TRUCK WILL GO STRAIGHT. THE DRIVER OBVIOUSLY WILL TRY TO KEEP THE TRUCK IN IT'S LANE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. IF WHAT FORD MOTOR CO. CLAIMS IS TRUE, THAT ALL THEIR 2018 F-150 DRIVE THIS WAY, THEN THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. FORD MOTOR CO. SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED WITH HOW THE COMPANY TREATS THEIR CUSTOMERS AND ALSO SHOULD BE CONCERNED WITH HAZZARDOUS VEHICLES THEY ARE PUTTING ON THE ROADS. BUYER BE AWARE!

JUNE 21, 2018 WE WERE DRIVING DOWN HWY 1 BYPASS IN FORREST CITY, AR AND WERE HIT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, PASSENGER DOOR AND GAS TANK AREA. THE TRUCK TOOK THE IMPACT WELL AND WE SPUN 180 DEGREES TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE SIDE AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT WERE UNHARMED, INCLUDING THE ONE WHOSE DOOR TOOK MOST OF THE IMPACT. MY HIP WAS INJURED FROM THE AIR BAG THAT DEPLOYED FROM THE BACK OF MY SEAT. AS I WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE ACCIDENT CALLING 911, THE SEAT BEGAN SMOKING. I TRIED TO EXIT OUT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND IT WAS JAMMED. SMOKE CONTINUED TO GET THICKER AND SMELLED LIKE AN ELECTRICAL/PLASTIC BURNING SMELL. I THEN HAD TO CRAWL OVER THE CENTER CONSOLE AND EXIT THROUGH THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. AT THAT POINT, THICK BLACK SMOKE WAS COMING FROM MY SEAT AND THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAB BEGAN TO BURN. THE ACTUAL IMPACT DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT HAVE TOTALED IT OUT, BUT THE FIRE, SMOKE, AND WATER DAMAGE FROM THE FIRE BEING PUT OUT, DID. I HAVE ALSO FILED A CASE WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY, AS I BELIEVE THIS WAS A MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. HAD WE NOT BEEN ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, MY ENTIRE FAMILY WOULD HAVE DIED FROM THIS FIRE, NOT THE IMPACT OF THE ACCIDENT. FROM OBSERVATIONS FROM THE POLICE, FIRE DEPARTMENT, WRECKER SERVICE, AND MY HUSBAND WHO IS A MECHANIC, THEY BELIEVE THAT THE FIRE WAS IGNITED WHEN THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I DID HAVE HEATED SEATS, AND THE VEHICLE WAS CLEARLY ON WHEN I WAS HIT AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED.

7/27/2018

I HAVE 2018 FORD F150 RAPTOR EDITION AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH IT SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER OF 2017 BRAND NEW. CURRENTLY THE ENGINE IS BLOWN AND IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF SERVICE FOR OVER 118 DAYS SINCE PURCHASE.I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, FIRST DAY AFTER GETTING TRUCK BACK FROM 28 DAY SERVICE AND THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WHICH IS WHY IT WAS IN SERVICE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND FORD AND THEY ADVISED TO KEEP DRIVING UNTIL THEY HEARD BACK FROM THE FORD HOTLINE. A WEEK OR SO LATER IT WAS BROKE DOWN SMOKING ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. IN ADDITION THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS OTHER PROBLEMS.

8/2/2018

I WAS HEADED HOME FROM WORK AND MY TRUCK WAS STATIONARY STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, AND THE AUTOMATIC ENGINE STOP WAS ACTIVE, WITH SYNC NETWORKED. A VEHICLE FROM BEHIND RAN INTO MY 3 WEEK OLD VEHICLE. THE ENGINE AUTOMATIC START-STOP SYNC STARTED, AND THE ENGINE RACED TO VERY HIGH RPMS. THROWING MY HEAD BACK INTO THE HEADREST AGAIN. I HAD TO PRESS REALLY HARD UPON THE BRAKES TO PREVENT MY VEHICLE FROM SLAMMING INTO THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. AT THAT MOMENT MY MIND THOUGHT OF THE TOYOTA CAMRY ACCELERATION PROBLEM YEARS AGO, AND UPON THE VEHICLE RETURNING TO NORMAL IDLE RPMS, I DOUBLE CHECKED THAT MY FOOT WAS ACTUALLY ON THE BRAKE. MY FOOT WAS ACTUALLY ON THE BRAKE.

9/15/2018

I HAVE HAD TWO RUN AWAY FULL ACCELERATIONS IN THIS NEW TRUCK. I ACCELERATED FIRMLY AND THE ACCELERATOR REFUSED TO DISENGAGE. AT OVER 90 MPHM I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, THE RPM INCREASED AND I SHUT OFF THE KEY. NEXT TIME IN THE SAME DRIVE IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE KEY. I WILL NOTIFY MY DEALER TOMORROW. I WILL NOT DRIVE IN THIS VEHICLE AGAIN. AS AN EXPERIENCED COMMERCIAL PILOT I HAVE BEEN TRAINED HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE BUT THE PUBLIC HAS NO CLUE WHAT TO DO.

11/9/2018

DECELERATING TO A STOP, I APPLIED BRAKES WITH NORMAL PRESSURE BUT TRUCK DID NOT SLOW DOWN. BRAKE PEDAL FELT SOFT AND I HAD TO STAND ON IT VERY HARD TO STOP TRUCK.

12/13/2018

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON MAY 22, 2018, A 2018 FORD SUPER DUTY WAS BEHIND ME. THE FRONT LIGHTS WERE SUPER BRIGHT, TOO MUCH AND DISTRACTING. I FLIPPED MY REARVIEW MIRROR TO REDUCE THE GLARE BUT, COME ON, IT DIDN'T REALLY HELP. SIDE MIRRORS DON'T DIM, DO THEY? WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I HELD MY HAND OVER THE CENTER REARVIEW MIRROR. THE LIGHTS ARE TOO MUCH. PLEASE GET A HANDLE ON THIS GROWING PROBLEM.

5/23/2018

ON STRAIGHTAWAY, AND PARTICULARLY SIDES OF THE ROAD (NOT TO MENTION ON CURVES), THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER TO SAFELY SEE OBSTACLES IN OR ENTERING THE ROAD (WILDLIFE). A STANDARD SHOULD BE SET THAT INCREASES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF NIGHT DRIVING LIGHT IN BOTH LOW AND HIGH BEAM APPLICATIONS. LUCKILY BREAKING HAS BEEN IMPROVED AND IS PROBABLY A BIG REASON THIS ISSUE IN NOT BROUGHT FORWARD MORE OFTEN.

2018 F-150 FORD SUPER CAB PICK UP. I HAD HEARD ABOUT SWOLLEN LUG NUTS AND WHEN I TRIED MY LUG NUT WRENCH THAT CAME WITH VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT FIT. THE ISSUE IS FORD USES A 2 PIECE LUG NUT AND OVERTIME THEY SWELL CAUSING THE OUTER LAYER TO SWELL AND THAT IS WHY THE VEHICLE LUG NUT WRENCH WILL NOT FIT. I CHECKED WITH THE SELLING DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT IS A REA DEAL. I ASKED IF THEY HAD REPLACEMENT NUTS THAT ARE NOT OEM 2 PIECE NUTS. I WAS TOLD YES BUT I WILL NOT SELL THEM BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. SO FORD DOESN'T EVEN HAVE AN OPTION TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I WAS TOLD BUY THE ONE PIECE NUT AT AN AUTO STORE. FORD IS IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND WILL NOT COMMENT ABOUT A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT NUTS AND THAT MAYBE THE REASON THEY ARE NOT OFFERING A SATISFACTORY REPLACEMENT NUT. IF ONE WANTS TO REPLACE THEM YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN DIME. IT AFFECTS MY ESCAPE AS WELL AS MOST OF FORD PRODUCTS IT WAS STATIONARY IN MY GARAGE BUT DOING RESEARCH IT IS OCCURRING FREQUENTLY ON THE ROAD
