Ford F-150 Change Vehicle

"Back window was leaking around back light"

"rear cab window leaded and stained the overhead upholstery; fixed by silicone caulking around window; probably a gasket failure."

"Water leaks around the rubber seal around the back glass."

"The left rear taillight housing was full of water. I could not specifically locate the leak but sealed the top and sides of the housing with silicon which stopped the leak. I also had the right side read door full of water. I removed the drain plugs and left them out. I have not had this problem again. I also had a leak on the front passenger window. It was leaking at the top right corner of the window. Again I sealed it with silicon and it stopped the leak."

"I have had several water leaks. One required replacing the exterior bed light/3rd brake light (The seal had been compromised.) The other involves leaks around the windshield as seals dry out."

"Rubber gasket seal around rear of cab failed resulting in leak which soaked the upholstery in back of spear cab. Mold grew, had to seal window with silicone caulk and disinfect and clean mess."

"Water leak on passenger side front door. Pools in floorboard (I use WeatherTech mats to catch it). Dealer couldn't find the problem."

"Had to have the rear window removed and resealed due to leaks around the upper corners on both sides of the glass"

"Rear window leaked water into the truck cab. Had to replace due to seal failure"

"Front and back windows leak on the passenger side"

"The truck was leaking into the interior by the passenger handgrip. We took it in several times and they would do something and say it was fixed. When the warranty ran out they said that it must be the satellite antenna , they fixed it which cost money of course and it seemed okay in the summer without rain, but come the rainy season it started leaking again. They took it back in and now said it was the sun roof which of course was going to cost more money. We said since it wasn't fixed right in"

"Dripping from the passenger side hand hold"

"Leaking water from windshield top right and thru the third light above/back of cab"

"Not resolved. Again Ford would not replace weatherstripping around doors when it became unattached from the body clips & bunched up so it no longer seals from elements."

"The weather stripping around the passenger door leaked water when it rained and had it fixed and began leaking again. Also fabric on seats wore out after 1 year, didn't see a place for that"

"The windshield leaked REALLY bad. This resulted in replacing and reprogramming the control/fuse box. Parts and labor $1000."

"Get some rattles in the doors more so when it's cold out but seem to go away after driving for 1/2 hour. Some times some thing rattles under the truck when I close the door"

"Something in the center dash has broken and does not allow airflow to one side of the truck or the other. It seems to continue to try without success and makes a loud ratcheting noise when the truck first starts or when the temp is changed in the cab, or when the auto climate changes. Like it is trying to change the output location/direction without success."

"Both rear doors (extended cab, so small doors) rattle unless they are slammed pretty hard when closed."

"it is a very noisy vehicle to travel in. Sometimes it really bothers me. If I needed a new truck, I would test drive all makes (basic model) and make my selection based on quietness of the cabin"

"Wind noise coming from the rear door of the extended cab pickup"

"There is a wind noise that sounds like windshield but I cannot find a leak."

"had multiple oil leaks that were repaired by the dealer at no charge (warranty). Seems to have more window seal wind and road noise than the newer trucks"

"One of 2 wiring harnesses had to be replaced. The vehicleaning had to be taken to dealer about 6 times b4 it was fin ally fixed. A bit over $1500 total cost"

"Slowing down then accelerating the transmission would jerk, I have had this problem since I bought the truck. The dealership would reset the computer it would be okay for about 6 months then start doing it again. The fifth year they told me resetting the computer will not correct the problem."

"Within the first week of owning the truck I was having transmission fluid leaking and transmission shifting problems. I took it to my dealer and it was determined that a seal had been installed backwards during the manufacture of the transmission and they fixed it. Six months later I was having similar problems and again the transmission was taken out and it was determined that a different seal had failed. After having the transmission worked on twice, it has helped the problem but it still s"

"Gasket to transmission was replaced as well as the power steering unit gasket"

"First of all, checking the transmission fluid level is very difficult. The dipstick is on the transmission itself and very close to the exhaust, additionally the dipstick and the ford's manual didn't agree on the type of fluid. The leak was through the wiring connector plug. The repair bill was in excess of $300."

"The bulkhead seal went bad. It was fixed by my Ford dealer at minimal cost."

"External leak repaired and all is well!"

"Electrical bulkhead connector leaked catastrophically by leaking approximately one quart of transmission fluid on the garage floor in one night. I had to replace the connector, pan gasket, and 7 quarts of transmission fluid."

"Seals leaked where electrical connection to transmission enters housing. Vehicle out of warranty even though it is a known problem so i had to pay for repair myself"

"Main line rusted out. Needed to replace $700.00"

"The transmission was leaking fluid through the electronic plug connection to the unit. Also the dip stick and manual did not agree on the type of replacement fluid. The cost for replacement of the plug and new fluid was about $350.00. By the way it appears the dipstick was right on type of fluid. That's what was used and have no problems since."

"Cooler line to transmission started leaking while on vacation in Florida in September 2019. Transmission started slipping and leak was repaired the next day at a tire plus garage in the Villages. Also had to add 8 quarts of transmission fluid. No problems since. Zardes"

"When the sensor was replaced on my exhaust, one of the bolts for my exhaust manifold broke shortly thereafter"

"Crack in the manifold, so manifold had to be replaced"

"Have had to replace both exhaust manifolds and replace broken manifold bolts"

"Exhaust manifold developed a leak"

"This was the third time in 24 months that we had the same issue with the exhaust manifold. This time we took it too the Ford dealer, rather than go to the repair shop where the first 2 repair attempts were made."

"The exhaust manifold warped and caused a leak. I ended up having it repaired twice and I think it's starting to leak again."

"Broken stud"

"5.4 L V-8 cracked exhaust manifolds had to be replaced. Common problem!"

"There was a poor weld on the exhaust side of the muffler"

"There was a short in the system when purchased and had to have dealer repair."

"warning light would not go off until I replaced a $900 part. So I did not replace it."

"Main hose was leaking 700.00 repair"

"Pressure hose was leaking fluid."

"Ongoing leak issue has not been complexly corrected yet"

"Power steering pump failed and had to be replaced."

"had to replace front struts"

"Springs broke surrounding shock"

"Upon a routine oil change, it was found I had both front springs broken. I have never exposed my truck to any behavior that would have broken the springs. I was told by the person that found the broken springs, it is common with these trucks. It should not be!"

"Turned out to actually be a brake problem on R Front wheel"

"We live in very rural Vermont where >50% of the roads are unpaved and the infrastructure usually needs a great deal of repair."

"back up beeping warning system failed"

"It works off and on. It is unpredictable. It is far too expensive to repair. Something like $3,000 or more per seat."

"Horn does not work from 38000 miles"

"broke original, ordered one from Amazon, lasted a few month quit. Went to Ford and bought FOMOCO brand, works great, So much for Chinese knockoff junk on Amazon"

"Vehicle was 10+ years old. The batteries in the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (next to the tire stem) started going out and needed to be replaced."

"Replaced 3 of the 4 pressure monitors a year ago, then began getting a pressure monitor error message. Shade tree mechanic figured out the computer issues that the Ford Dealer could not fix."

"The tire pressure monitor light has just come on. Tires are at recommended tire pressure."

"needed new plugs, which are difficult/expensive to remove without breaking"

"Cam Phasors leaking oil and causing random camshaft fluctuations at low RPM"

"a small oil leak at the oil drain"

"oil leaks were under warranty and repaired by the dealer"

"Solenoid valve which allows air into tank quit working repaired it myself"

"Fill line from the exterior to the tank failed; could fill tank but leaked and was a hazard. Brought to dealer for repair; had to drain tank, disconnect everything, remove tank and replace all lines. Labor intensive costlt"

"The clock and radio station display has failed. There appears some incomprehensible display. The radio quality has remained good"

"Bluetooth randomly stops working"

"Done!"

"Radio completely failed, dead. Costs for factory unit was unreal so I replaced with aftermarket that had more features for lower price"

"Radio simply stopped working after 9 yrs of little use. Ford said they could not fix it so have no radio,disc, or telephone communication."

"When radio is powered on, there is a clicking sound & the display indicates phone. Radio doesn't come on & phone system doesn't connect. Therefore no radio & no in truck phone. Dealer says buy a new radio."

"Latch cable became frayed and would not allow the drivers door to latch and stay closed. This happened when I was 550 miles away from home."

"Control switch quit working after six years, it happened at the dealership when I picked it up after having the truck serviced."

"Remote control cables came loose."

"Seized in the open position - broken plastic track pieces. Significant interference removal including roof liner required to replace the broken pieces - rough estimate was $2000 in labor. Instead of repairing and replacing broken pieces, decided to manually crank window close myself and disconnect sunroof motor."

"Part in the tailgate which allows it to lower easy snapped was repaired under warranty then broke again just after warranty expired."

"Pump should have lasted longer than 100000 miles"

"Check engine light resulted in replacement of 4 o2 sensors"

""Check Engine" light comes on when there is no problem. Took to dealer and they said I need to replace at $300. After a while the light went off on its own. This cycle has happened twice"

"Had to replace two O2 sensors and one MAF sensor at a cost of $971 to solve engine stalling problem. Having problems with fuel port (cap) sensor giving a check engine light"

"Have had episodes of shaking and jerking at times. It typically goes away after a few minutes or the next time I drive it. Seems to be transmission or drive train related, though it is difficult to diagnose. No check engine lights have come on"

"The bearing on the middle of the drive shaft froze preventing the truck from moving. Had to have it towed in. due to the design of the drive shaft the bearing could not be replaced. The whole drive shaft and bearing required replacing at big cost."

"control switches"

"Not much to say other than the wiring harness before the fuse box was too light and it failed before it got to the safety of the fuses. Not to mention that the wiring harnesses on the truck throughout are put in harms way of tires, gravel, salt, rain, etc. and if you don’t watch out for these you will have serious issues with all of the electrical components in this truck"

"The spark plugs fail one at a time. The labor to repair is expensive. Replaced one and now another seems to be going bad. We have had major problems with the truck since we bought it. One mechanic said he thought the engine had been under water, but we have no way of telling. Bought from a very reputable Ford dealer."

"The starter would not engage and then after sitting for a day would start the engine. It did this for about two weeks until I took it to a Ford dealer and they had it 3 days to fix it."

"Transmission went from fine to complete slippage in about 5 miles. had to be towed."

"HAD TRANSMISSION REBUILT AND IT IS WORSE NOW THAN IT WAS BEFORE IT WAS REBUILT AT AAMCO. WENT BACK AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DETECT ANYTHING WRONG. I THINK THERE IS EXTREME INCOMPITANCE IN THE AOTOMOTIVE REPAIR MARKET."

"Did not have complete failure Mtr. developed clatter/ noise at starting. Replaced chains and gears b4 failure"
