Ford F-150 Change Vehicle

"Won't show on screen"

"Works intermittently for last 12 months or so. Most likely bad connection with wires."

"Stopped working"

"The CD player continues to have issues loading and playing CD's."

"Error reading. Will not play. Will not eject."

"This is just part of the whole system that failed. There was no problem with it individually"

"Sometimes it will not release the cd. Has been replaced twice."

"The CD/radio interface with the speakers quit. It started intermittently then totally went out. Could not listen to any music. They replaced the unit with a remanufactured one. Was kind of expensive due to the whole unit was replaced. But the vehicle is fairly old and I couldnt drive without tunes."

"Some of the mileage features were not working properly some of it was not knowing how to sort through the system"

"lost the use of the clock which I need when traveling"

"Screen does not stay on curent setting. Jumps to another setting"

"Will not interface with some IPODs (via USB)."

"not uble to use flash drive to play music"

"Will not interface with my older Apple IPod. Does not recognize when it is hooked up via USB."

"Sync system doesn't always start up correctly which prevents connecting the phone to the entertainment system. It usually resolves itself after a few minutes or when the pickup is turned off and on."

"The Sony radio/disc player quit last August (2019). I took it to a Ford Dealership for repair and was told it was a module in the radio. Replacement cost $700. In February 2020 the radio/disc player went out again. I was told this time that it was the entire radio (same Ford Dealership). I haven't come up with the estimated cost of repair of $8-900. I am considering after market or just get rid of the F-150. Lesson learned =Fix.Or.Repair.Daily."

"My new iPhone 8 would not be recognized and would not connect to Sync beginning in June 2018. Dealer updated the software and it will play in the Aux mode, but it does not integrate into the Sync controls as it should. I have not taken it back to the dealer for additional diagnosis and repair due to possible costs."

"GPS gets lost and indicates current position hundreds of miles from actual location. Sometimes finds itself and sometimes stays lost for days."

"difficult to clear previous owners information"

"GPS gets lost and indicates location from distant locations, sometimes by multiple states. Occurred a few years ago, multiple attempts by dealership to fix failed. Last time they charged me a diagnostic fee to check it, then requested I sign a waiver stating I requested them to replace GPS for $1100 but understood that it might not fix problem. I declined that "repair" and purchased a portable Garmin GPS unit."

"Says no gps, on wrong road, works 10% of the time"

"replaced the first system under extended warranty. replacement system is now showing the same errors as the first. error message is no GPS and location on map is off by 20-30 miles. Not fixing this $1000 part again. I can live without it as I have a map on my phone."

"very difficult to navigate, and randomly changes status"

"Phone does not pair on occasion resulting in the need to hold the phone if you need to respond, but there is no place to pull off."

"80% of the time Sync doesn't automatically pair my phone when I get into the pickup. Has to me manually paired each time."

"It is very hard to make the phone work properly . Hard to understand how to set it up . Still haven't solved how to get it to recognize voice commands for phone numbers on the system . Won't recognize a name if it starts with a capital letter . Will recognize if all letters are put in as capital letters ( example RCMP ) and you ask by saying each letter"

"Sudden difficulty pairing of phone"

"Often, the voice activated "SYNC" forgets my smartphone address book (or relays unintelligible phone numbers that I am to select from), and then not functions as a "Hands-Free" device, as I must pull over and stop, then manually make the call"

"With newer phones, the pairing became less stable. Connections were not automatically recognizing phones. Ultimately, no longer use Bluetooth, and use cable connection."

"Radio is the standard unit supplied. It ceased to operate and Ford wants $550.00 to replace it."

"Started to make an occasional loud popping noise in the speaker .finally made one loud pop and quit working .I had to replace the radio mod unit ."

"I have had to replace the radio twice"

"No radio at all. Can't listen to NPR"

"The radiocd player became unreliable and dealer advised it is a recurring problem which can only be repaired by replacing the unit at a cost of $700"

"The speaker volume to one channel drops out at low output levels. It happens at random times with no consistancy."

"Was driving listening to the radio, smelt like something was burning then smoke came out of the radio"

"The system wouldn't turn on. It clicked rebooted multiple times then wouldn't turn on"

"Radio shorted out and became inoperable"

"Radio stopped working and started flashing the incorrect time. I have read how to reset the radio online and still have not been able to fix it. Will be taking to a professional soon."

"The radio completely failed. It would not turn on. Because the radio failed the entire sync system would not operate. The radio was removed and sent to Florida for repair. It took two weeks for repair and reinstallation. It cost $189."

"Same as previously described with CD player."

"This was a factory recall to reprogram computer so it would not downshift and over rev engine ."

"The speaker system would go in and out so that you could not hear the radio. It was not covered in an extended warranty and was expensive to repair. It required 2 trips to the dealer and cost approx $1000"

"My truck is equipped with numerous speakers, 98% of the time 1 speaker works. The Ford mechanics replaced a speaker but couldn't fix the problem. It is kind of funny that i have this massive amplifier bolted down in my floor to run this one speaker. On the plus side one speaker reminds me of the old days."

"Passenger side speakers cut in and out. Drives one crazy. No rhyme or reason. Dealership said they couldn't reproduce problem but they are just lazy and didn't want warranty work,"

"The sound cuts in and out on 3 of 4 of the speakers. This could also be the fault of the radio"

"Front speakers on both sides would cut out. This was an issue when I first bought the truck and was a warranty fix under a service bulletin. The service bulletin was for the wires in the door boots becoming broken from being bent when the door shuts. The warranty fix lasted about 3 years"

"left drivers speaker cuts in and out... dealer wants to replace at my expense rather than check out wiring problem.. just living with it"

"The speakers are intermittent in the passenger side front door. Always have been. I believe it is a problem with the wiring harness, same thing happen in the driver side rear door, I had to replace the wiring harness to fix the problem"

"Drivers door speaker goes out, then comes back on. Now passenger door speaker doing the same thing. Frustrating"

""Blown" speaker--crackling noise when playing music with pronounced bass"

"Speakers cut in and out for no reasons"

"Intermittent speaker outages on both left and right channels. Dealer service department advised replacement of both speakers"

"When the engine is started it states trailer connected I push ok the it states trailer disconnected. This stared the day I bought the truck. This problem has never happened have taken it in to the dealer. No fault code."

"I cannot tell if this is connected to the Sync system or not. But, when pressing the Channel change buttons to pick a new channel on the XM Sirius radio, the channel is changed to the wrong direction. In addition, the sound system is off with some speakers failing to work at odd times"

"Voice commands inoperable, period. This has the most safety impact in that the phone is no longer hands free for dialing or answering the phone."

"doesn't understand voice commands from smart phone"

"Voice recognition has deteriorated to the extent that it is not useable. This deterioration occurred gradually over about 3 years"

"very frustrating--can not use sometimess, works others--makes me not want want to purchase another Ford 150 (I've had 5)"

"The warning lights are on. I have survived years without ABS on other vehicles. This darn Ford will run with the warning light as well. I do not plan to reward Ford by paying to fix a system that should last a lot longer."

"Brakes became erratic and felt unsafe"

"THE CALIPERS BENT. NO EXPLANATION FROM FORD"

"wear and tear"

"Frozen Read; required all new rear calipers, rotors, pads"

"Calipers stuck closed."

"Replaced brakes (normal wear). Within 3 months brakes seized and were replaced a second time"

"Right side front caliper seized and was nonfunctioning. Caused pad to grind into rotor, ruined rotor and pads. Extreme wear to left side front brake system also resulted. Total replacement of both side front pads, calipers and rotors was required."

"Calipers, rotors, and brake pads were ruined"

"calipers were damaged by excessive heat"

"Parts of the front calipers seized up preventing the pads from contacting the rotors and allowed the rotors to become rusty, and of course lessened brake efficiency."

"I was unaware of the seriousness of the problem until I noticed the brakes would not fully release after stopping and then accelerating. My mechanic said I was lucky the brakes didn't fail altogether. He said the auxiliary lines to the brakes were made of a rubber that had turned crisp with age causing the front calipers to engage the rotors. This happened and was repaired in January (I think)."

"Possible normal brake wear however the rotors were worn more on one side due to calliper failure ."

"Stuck overheated brakes 50 miles after purchase"

"Had to replace three calipers and two royals. The front caliper was grabbing and restricting takeoff and wobbling the front end."

"Ford has extended the warranty coverage on the vacuum pump and I will be having them check it out because of a change in brake pedal feel when first started. It is steadily getting worse"

"Master Cylinder lining tore creating a vacuum leak, and removing the power assist. If my truck had a 3.6L engine Ford recalled the part but hasn't recalled it in my 5.0L."

"I did not have to replace the front brake lining til it had about 120000 miles on it. That's extraordinary."

"Rotors went bad."

"I heard noise when coming to a stop in traffic. Brought the vehicle to the shop expecting new pads. Replaced rotors and pads which solved the problem."

"The brake actually released even though the dashboard light indicated it was on in red. The repair was for a faulty light"

"Very little city driving on this vehicle. I'm surprised at the brake wear considering very little braking occurs on long highway trips."

"I am 67 and I have had 2 F150 trucks. Both of them had complete break rebuilds, twice. The first truck both rebuilds by 36K miles in 2.5 years and the second truck has had both rebuilds by 50K miles in 6 years. I can't remember another vehicle I have owned, car or truck, that had ever gotten new brakes. All break rebuilds were done by Ford dealers with Ford parts and the second truck was not covered by warranty. Ford won't get me a third time."

"Front brake pads probably wore prematurely due to high percentage of miles driven while towing a travel trailer."

"Complete brake job required after 25000 miles on the new truck. I've never had this problem before on any vehicle."

"brakes rusted open rendering them inoperative and causing excessive wear on front brakes."

"Front brakes replaced at 126,000 miles. Rear Brakes will be replaced at next service. Do not consider this to be a vehicle problem"

"FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS COMPLETELY WORN"

"Front left brake grabs and was rebuilt at 27000 miles at my cost. Brake still grabs and dealer wants to replace it again at my cost. Says some rucks just are like that. I am strongly disappointed with Ford"

"Brakes had to be serviced at approx. 45,000 miles. 90% of the mileage on the vehicle is highway mileage with little braking. The brakes should last longer."

"When brakes were pressed there was a pulsing in the brake pedal from bad rotors"

"After sitting for a while like overnight when first start up brake pedal is hard to push and you get a vibration like the anti skid is malfunctioning. Have to stop and pump the brakes a few times then they work properly."

"The rotors should not have needed replacement. Most of the miles were on the highway, at light load. I am not a heavy-footed driver. I dealt with the Ford regional office and expect to come to a settlement/refund of some of the costs."

"pulsation when braking"

"Twice in 7 years I had to replace the rotors due to warping and steering wheel shake when braking going downhill."

"Part of rust problem previously discussed."

"Premature wear. With my driving habits, there should have been no need to replace both front rotors after 65000 miles. It is also possible that the rear rotors needed to be turned prematurely"

"Had to replace both front rotors due to vibration"

"Premature wear beyond the range than could be corrected by refacing. Front rotors had to be replaced"

"rotors warped. I tow a trailer"

"Replaced all 4 break pads and rotors"

"REPLACEDUE TO VIBRATION AFTER 20,000 MILES"

"shaking when brakes applied - had to replace brakes and rotors"

"brakes wore on my long weekly commute--the wheel heated up and as a result the disks in the front drug while driving--no help from dealer. My local mechanic fixed the issue"

"all 4 rotors were warped"

"Scored and slightly warped according to Ford"

"Started at 20000 miles with shaking in the steering during braking. Turned rotors to solve."

"Abnormal wear possible due to calliper failure."

"I am the second owner of the truck. Previously the truck was used by the state highway department. Heavy duty suspension and an unused towing hitch were outfitted from the factory. Brakes in my vehicles generally last significantly longer than these did."

"Both front rotors needed to be replaced before 60,000 miles - that was completely unreasonable and unacceptable. I have an extend warranty with Ford at the premium level so the parts and labor were covered. The dealership gave me a 30% discount on the brake pads and provided upgraded pads at the standard minus 30% price. They also charged the labor at a reduced rate. In addition, my letter to the Ford zone office netted a $250.00 cash card and a non-expiring $1000 discount voucher on any future new vehicle purchase, regardless of any other discounts or offers. Fine resolution, not so fine a problem."

"At 6000 miles I took it in because of squeaking when I was backing up. They told me there was nothing they could do. I now have 107000 miles on it and it squeaks so loudly when backing out of the garage that it hurts the ears. It occurs only when backing up and if it has been sitting for a short period of time"

"I bought the truck knew in 2011. Had less than a year noise started. Took it in they put new shoes and brake pads but they were not sure that was the problem. It worked for maybe a year and then noise started again. Several owners of ford autos told me they had same problem. But who knows for sure except ford."

"ACuator has gone out many times"

"AC lasted about 6 months before needing a new part. I replaced parts about 4 or 5 times. It seems to be ok now. I live in Tx. We use AC all year long!"

"The driver side duct actuator had to be replaced."

"The ability to regulate the fan speed went out, it was either full speed or off"

"No heat to driver side."

"When running the AC, the cool air only comes out of the driver’s side vents and in the back. The passenger side vents are blowing hot air."

"Damper went out and the drivers side blew outside cold air regardless of the control setting. The passenger side worked find because the damper on that side did not go out. Based on the having to pull the dash in order to fix the problem, I opted to replace both sides to hopefully avoid further problems"

"Two air vent control modules failed and had to be replaced"

"several times had to take in for repair to climate control. fan motor speed would only work on high and in auto mode would keep cycling from high speed to off and back to high"

"Loud clicking noises"

"Blower motor is on high all the time unless I turn off the climate control. Blows hot and cold air as needed but can't control it. Started 2 weeks ago. Will be repaired in a week or two."

"The driver side a/c would not work, it only heated. The passenger side worked fine"

"The vent actuators started to go bad... had to have them replaced"

"Module that controls fan and vents stopped working."

"Second time I am having a issue with internal blower motor."

"The blower is constantly on, it use to come on whet the engine warmed up and slow up when temp is reached. All that works is the on/off switch. Be it AC or heat it is on full blast."

"Diverter box quit"

"There was a problem with a part failure that caused the fan to cease functioning. An electronic part that continues to fail from time to time. This part is now carried in the truck as it is easy to replace by the owner."

"Bearing in motor is starting to squeak. I've had other issues with the blender door actuator, needed replacing because the gears inside was cheap plastic and the teeth broke. The control that changes between the upper vents and floor vents sticks quite often. When the engine starts, the climate control cycles through heat mode for a couple seconds before switching to AC. Its always done this and sucks when it's 95 degrees outside, here in the south."

"The actuator for the blower motor went bad...loud noise for 10 seconds on start-up...common problem (TSB). fixed for under $100"

"makes noise at startup"

"Only had high speeds for the fan. Had to have the resistor replaced."

"Stuck on one speed. Fan relay replaced. $450.00 Total"

"it stopped working. some type of control module"

"The gear that opens and closes the door to the cold or warm air stripped and made a horrendous knocking noise. The dealer wanted $600 to fix it. I purchased the part for $30 and installed it myself"

"It can not be turned down,"

"It failed"

"Related to the climate control"

"The entertainment system (radio and Sierrus) has never worked correctly. It fads in and out and goes off completely sometimes. We have had it in so many times and we constantly get the run around. We have paid Brandon Ford so much because the warranty was $100 dollars each time and it was never fixed. We finally gave up. We are hesitant to buy another Ford because we have had a lot more trouble with 2011 F150 that all the 21 years I had my 1997 Expedition."

"AC not plowing cold"

"Stopped working totally. Replacement doesn't work as well as the original before the original stopped working."

"The passenger side cooling seat system doesn’t seem to work (cool) as well now as it once did. We are waiting to get it in to have it checked, since all the problems seem to be on the passenger side."

"Defrost on driver side failed due to actuator motor"

"had to have evaporator expansion replace would not produce heat in cold weather"

"vent door stuck"

"In cooler months the heaters stopped working on all but the driver's position."

"making loud sound when temp knob turned to cold. Not repaired yet"

"Blend door motor failure"

"diffuser valve stuck cost 780.00"

"Leak from engine coolant system. Parts were replaced. $1800"

"we have had to replace the heater twice."

"mode door actuator needs replacement. The heat/ac only comes out through the defroster vents."

"bought truck in 2011; did not use A/C very often. A/C would not cool in 2015 therefore took to repair shop;- mechanic did not find leak and re-filled system. System worked OK in summer 2015. A/C would not cool in 2016 summer therefore took to same repair shop; mechanic found that evaporator had a weld leak therefore installed new evaporator and re-filled system. System worked OK for summer 2016. A/C does not work in summer 2017. Will take into shop but am reluctant to have same mechanic"

"The last six years I have had to refill the refrigerant every year during hot weather. I do not drive this vehicle very often now that I am retired and of course due to covid 19"
