Ford F-150

"One cell in the battery went dead and it took out the computer. The starter motor wouldnt turn the engine over and once started the transmission wouldnt shift out of 5th gear."

"every 2-3 years the door sensor goes bad and the overhead and bed lights won't turn off."

"It just quit working."

"When we bought the vehicle in February, we noticed the screen in car showing the rear backup view was never clear. Sometimes it was fuzzy, sometimes it had lines through it, and other times it was too bright to see. We did not fix it."

""The problem started with the backup screen going blank when in use. Then it started going blue, and then would completely shut off. The problem has not been resolved.""

"Wiring in drivers door"

"I had Check Brake System and Check Advance Tracking System warning and alarms with ABS and Anti-Tracking warning lights coming on. This first started about a year ago. I had a Ford dealer and an independent mechanic ran diagnostics on it and they both said it is a faulty ABS Control Module. This ABS module cost about $2000 and the dealer wanted $3000 to fix it while the independent mechanic said it would be $2500. The brakes work fine. Ive have no problem with them. Both mechanics said that the ABS system might be affected but the hydraulics of the system will work just like my 1965 F250 truck brakes. I continue to drive it occasionally with no issues. The warning came on for about 8 months and then stopped for about 3 months. They just recently came back on. I was told by both mechanics that this is a common problem in this truck model. Seems that this should be a recall issue. (Side note: I could buy the ABS module from the dealer's part counter and walk it over to the repair department and save about $500 on the part over what the repair department would charge me for the same part)."

"The right front caliper sticking destroyed the pads and the rotor"

""caliper hoses have a crimped mounting plate attached. The crimp causes the hose to collapse over time. This, in turn, causes the caliper to stick and not release.""

""Noise under front end around wheels off and on for a few months. Took to repair and they found that differential needed repair, rebuild.""

""Truck would crank but not turn over, started intermittently, but eventually would not start. Towed to shop, they could not figure it out. I googled the problem for the make and model, found its common, they suggest replacing fuse #17 (I think), husband pulled it, slightly discolored, replaced it, truck has been starting for the last 6 weeks. Ford offers a replacement kit for this problem if it occurs again. Side note, husband did not believe it could be fixed that easily and attempted to get the truck into other shops, long wait. Eventually he kept quiet. Weird.""

"Misfire til got it fixed"

""I had the first transmission fluid change at 96,000 miles, which is earlier than the 150,000 intervals Ford recommends. I chose the pan drop and filter method. After approximately 5000 miles the torque converter lockup failed to operate properly, causing decreased power and lower mpg. Repeated automatic transmission fluid replacement, this time using the pump method to completely replace fluid and hopefully flush any gunk that might be obstructing a passage that was causing the malfunction. This resulted in the torque converter operating normally again. Although Ford recommends the first automatic transmission fluid replacement to occur at 150,000 miles, many mechanics recommend intervals of 40,000 miles to prevent sludge buildup and issues like what I experienced. I believe that the mechanics recommendations are correct, and will adjust my maintenance schedule accordingly.""

""Within first 5 years of ownership the transmission occasionally and not repeatedly a hard down shift into 1st gear. About year 6 of ownership and after it was paid off, the transmission would slip going from 3rd to 4th gear, and has continued through my ownership of the vehicle (year 13). When taken into the dealer, they replaced rods (not transmission) which obviously didn't fix the problem. They said I could pay another $4500 to take a stab at repairing, or try to baby it, which I have done and with a spark plug change has run pretty well to this point.""

"The transmission lines crimp fittings failed. had to replace both lines from the transmission to the cooler at the front of the truck."

"had a 4 wheel alignment done 1 year ago. a few months later it started to pull to the right"

"While in the shop for other problem the power steering failed and the are trying to locate replacement parts. The service advisor is not sure Ford has the parts anymore."

"Intermediate steering shaft needed to be replaced because steering wheel was not self-centering"

"resolved"

"water pump."

"The capless gas cap needed replacing along with an air release line"

""Had to change timing chains at 124,000 miles. Couldnt believe Ford used these cheap chains to that dealers expect to replace around 120,000 miles.""

"Needed to replace both, at major cost"

"When built Ford only used 2 bolts to attach the turbo to the engine. Over time the bolts don't hold up and the turbo sounds louder. My shop added another bolt and rebuilt the first two."

""The truck had intermittent starting problems. Cleaned battery contacts, problem continued, tried starter connections didn't work. Automechanic tried to running down issue, but wasn't sure, so replaced the ignition controller and so far has worked.""

""Started Feb 2024 hesitating during acceleration, especially on hills. Took to repair April 2024. Found cylinder 6 misfire, spark plugs worn, throttle bore carboned up. Removed and replaced spark plugs. Removed air intake snorkel , cleaned throttle plates and bore. Problem was resolved at service April 2024.""

"The Stater failed and I had to replace it. $500.00"

"water pump failure; had the truck towed to dealer and fixed."

""Water pump blew out. It's an old truck, this was the first time that it was replaced. Not bad...""

"Same problem as the rust."

"The lead frame in the transmission failed even though trasnsmission had been serviced more often than the manual called for."
