Ford F-150 Change Vehicle

"May have been a mechanic error at the dealership. Started days after purchase. Due to loose bolt."

"calipers stopped moving, rusted, causing brakes to wear faster"

"front caliper failure at 35k; piston would not float and had to replace"

"Same thing"

"Passenger front wheel caliper keeps freezing up.Excess wear on brake pads."

"Replaced Front brakes twice in less than 12 months"

"In May 2019, brake pedal started pushing to the floor. My mechanic determined that the master cylinder had to be replaced. I had the work done by my mechanic"

"Company recall and replacement."

"Ford-Issued Safety Recall for 2013-2014 Ford F-150 Master Brake Cylinder (Citing reduced bake effectiveness due to brake fluid leaking from master cylinder into brake booster, increasing the risk of crash). Ford warranty covered the cost of this repair; took approximately 5hr to complete."

"factory recall on master cylinder. replacement master cylinder brake line connections leaked. had to be replaced by another master cylinder"

"I did not have a problem. Ford put out a bulletin to replace the Master Cylinder on all 2014 F-150s Mine was replace at no expense to me by the dealer"

"recall, Ford replaced it"

"Master cylinder recall. Unit replaced at no charge"

"Recall for failures and they found premature wear on another brake item . Linkage?"

"replaced under recall"

"Recall"

"Ford recall. Need to call dealer. No problem yet"

"There was an open master cylinder recall on the vehicle when I purchased it. The Ford dealer in Yuba City performed the recall work with no problem. I experienced no issue with the brakes before or after the recall work"

"sometimes I have to apply more than usual brake pressure to stop even without a load in the bed. Their is a recall to replace the front master cylinder , but I have still not been notified to go in to the dealer for the repair...I feel that is the reason for the added pressure i have to apply to the peddle"

"Safety recall"

"Recall item, of which they did not have parts enough when recall came out, so I had it checked a couple of time to be sure of safe operation until it was repaired"

"Safety Recall"

"Ford recall"

"Brake fluid leaks out of reservoir and into master cylinder causing lack of braking. Got it fixed under warranty, now it is a safety recall and I have to go back again because the problem wasn't fixed in the parts they installed"

"I currently have an open recall regarding my master cylinder which I need to schedule to have completed"

"My brake lines would not release the brake fluid which caused the brakes to not release."

"Truck started making squealing noises from the brakes. During an oil change, mechanic noted that brakes were past their wear limit and showed me the wear indicators on the brake pads. I scheduled a follow up appointment to replace the pads and turn the rotors. This was at about 58,000 miles."

"Normal wear. New brakes at 60,000 miles"

"It was very quick for normal brake wear."

"Wear went from over 7mm to down to 2mm in less than 6 months."

"just normal wear and tear"

"normal brake pad/rotor wear"

"Nothing bad, routine wear and tear."

"Found during annual state inspection"

"Shoes rusted and broke off. Cable sticking"

"They go out of adjustment every year. That means it loses tension in the cable and loses holding power. Common issue with these vehicles."

"Shoes came disconnected from housing all hardware and shoes had to be replaced"

"Rust - wouldn't release reliably"

"The parking brake seized due to the use of cheap components. The actuator/lever assembly at both rear wheels froze in a partial on position requiring removal of the wheels and disc brake rotors, and freeing up the rusted/frozen parts."

"Just the brake sensor alarm would not turn off even though the brake was disengaged, so the alarm would go off for a long time while driving, even through brake was off."

"sticking when release"

"Brake would not fully release- causing noise and premature wear."

"Parking brake does not fully disengage when releasing the lever. I reach down and lift the pedal fully when releasing the parking brake now."

"Lack of use"

"Rust forming on rotors creating grooves in rotor."

"I needed new front brakes at approx 14,000 miles it cost 385 (but I received a veterans discount and net cost was approx 323 dollars) other than that I love my 2014 F-150 XL (with the 3.7 6 cylinder engine and the electronics package)"

"brake pads wore out and scored rotors at 15000 miles both replaced under warranty service tech said there was a problem with all brakes on trucks wearing out"

"I had to put new brake pads on"

"Breaks pulsating, rotors"

"Brakes needed service at about 11,000 miles. Dealer turned the rotors. Fix did not last very long. I have since changed the brake pads and rotors myself, as Ford would not cover them. They wore out too soon"

"At 25000 miles the front brake pads cracked in half,all four pads were broken in half. Both front rotors were warped and also damaged with hair line cracks. The dealer would not do anything to help me.I replaced everything myself with Wagner QTX High Performance pads and rotors."

"Rust due to unregular use of the vhicule."

"At 60,000 miles calipers broke and trashed brake rotor and pads. Had to replace all on front brakes."

"low mileage and brake pads and rotor wear replaced"

"Vibration when braking."

"pulsation during braking..rotors turned"

"Rotors were turned and replaced 3 or 4 times until we figured out that the brake lines had collapsed and were engaging the calipers and heating the rotors"

"The front rotors scored deeply very early which caused the brake pads to wear out prematurely. I had all 4 rotors replaced with a better grade after market unit and new pads installed. Reading the CR charts it seems I am not the only one who has experienced brake problems with this year/model Hope you have something in the survey about the tires they put on this series. I have some real information about that and how Ford handles their problem"

"Had the rotors turned"

"The rotors warped."

"Repeated warping/uneven wear of rotors. Replace rotors with aftermarket upgraded brake and rotor system on the front."

"Rust formed on rotors creating grooves in rotors."

"Rotors that come stock are light and warp easily. Both the front and back rotors are warped on my F-150. This is likely so Ford can claim a better gas mileage. They need to be replaced with higher grade rotors to prevent warping again after so few miles."

"at 20,000 miles, rotors were warped and caused the brakes to pulsate."

"vibration in truck when braking.Cant tell if it is front or rear rotors"

"At 20,000 miles, the rotors developed patchy glazing making braking very choppy. Replaced them with aftermarket rotors and new brakes"

"Rotors were replaced to solve the pulsation and vibration problem"

"Actually the lug bolts twisted off on 3 of the wheels, Issue not clearly identified. Could have been over torqued or could have been faulty lug bolts"

"The front in breaks would vibrate and the rotors were warped. This appears to be a common problem but Ford made me pay for it even though it was under warranty. I also had to pay for new brake shoes in the front"

"Ford front rotors are not holding up to boat trailering - a single run towing the trailer will warp the rotors, causing vibration on stopping. Rotors are not up the published trailering capacity"

"Front rotors warped causing vibration and pulsating BEFORE 24000 miles"

"I had to replace the front rotors after 32,000 mile of use"

"The rotors were warped and cracked in less than 25000 miles. This caused the vibration in the steering wheel. To me this was a total failure on Ford using cheap parts from China and they said it was my fault."

"Rotors have worn out twice and have had to be replaced. Ford dealership also installed one of them backwards requiring a return visit"

"seem to rust because lack of miles driven"

"Break rotors look like they were resurfaced before I bough it. Did not drive much first few years and they rusted too much"

"When starting out after truck has been sitting, brakes have very loud squeak. Goes away after driving a short distance."

"under warranty rotors had to be turned to eliminate noise and this did not solve the problem. still makes a noise"

"The squeaking brakes have been changed by Ford on two occasions with only limited success to stop the problem. Ford continues to say the brakes are just glazed over and no other problem is occurring."

"After Ford put new brake pads on it squeaks in the morning"

"When backing of our garage in mornings the brakes squeaks like a warn break pad indicator, but have less than 30000 miles on vehicle Not usually when going forward"

"Dealer put wrong brake pads on and refused to acknowledge that it did. Ford Motor Co ignored communication about it."

"Problem still exists and it is sporadic. No repair yet."

"The parking brake squeaking is related to the pedal not fully releasing. Problem persists but I just reach down and lift the pedal to fully disengage. Too expensive to fix since I can work with it. One day I will have it fixed."

"The SYNC system has failed in the truck and I am unable to use any of the SYNC features in my truck. I have been told that it will cost a lot of money and time to remove the existing head unit to determine what the problem is, and then on top of that it could cost $600 for a new head unit."

"System occasionally will not shut off. Normally opening the door with the key off shuts everything down. I have witnessed this happen, and once when going away fro a week trip, I returned to a dead battery likely caused because the system did not shut down"

"driving down the road and interior lights start to blink,and go out and on .some times ok other time terrible.dealer could not fix,and they told me they could not find a fix thru ford.i am now looking for a new gmc truck"

"It's actually the Audio Control Module, a problem Ford knows about and most Ford F-150 forums talk about. It's a $600 repair to replace with a 1 year warranty, which many F150 owners have had fail a second time. Not worth the risk. Plan to have an aftermarket system put in."

"Display screen failed and had to be replaced. But, it was still under warranty."

"The chip was bad replaced free of charge by dealership"

"Sync Keeps losing my Address book. No FREE upgrade."

"This GPS system using Sync 2 uses an SD card to authorize GPS. The system often will indicate the card is missing when indeed it is installed properly in the slot. Takes several removals, installs and restarts to clear the problem. Intermittent."

"Navigation system uses an SD card plugged into a slot inside the center storage console. The nav system often indicates falsely that there is no nav card installed. Must shut the vehicle down and restart, sometimes several times"

"Ford GPS is terrible - shows vehicle off road by 10 - 50 yards, driving in unmarked or unmapped areas when vehicle is ACTUALLY on a road - can be highway, 2-lane road, limited access, etc. - does not matter, GPS is unreliable. This is a KNOWN Ford issue and has no fix from Ford"

"Periodically bluetooth will just turn off and stop working. Bluetooth and audio inputs are no longer recognized by the radio. The Media button is unresponsive. The quick temporary fix is to pull the radio fuse, wait 10 seconds and reinstall it. The reset of cutting complete power to the radio fixes the problem. It will occasionally come back, but it could be 4 months or a year and a half, it's random."

"Dropped phone pairing during dialing on bluetooth / sync system"

"My iPhone 6s failed to connect through Bluetooth to the SYNC system. I had to pull the fuse for the radio to reset it. Once it was reset by cutting it's power through the fuse panel, I was able to connect without a problem. The reset button in the SYNC menu failed to fix the problem."

"Bluetooth spontaneously drops calls"

"Speakers cut out left and right"

"The sound becomes distorted sometimes. I had the same problem with the 2010 model F150. It took many visits to replicate the problem and get it repaired at that time. I was not able to replicate the problem on this one before the warranty ran out."

"The antenna base had to be replaced. It was covered under warranty"

"Warrantee replacement of several right front speakers due to buzzing from wiring shorting out"

"I had the same problem with the 2010 F 150 in that the bass sound made it sound like a bad speaker. Had to make numerous visits to the dealership to confirm and diagnose. I am disappointed and do not look forward to more visits for this same issue"

"It took three visit to the dealership to get the front door speakers to sound right"

"Radio quit working and was replaced. Took 5 days to get new radio. Replaced by Ford dealer."

"Same problem"

"Unit WILL not accept software updates"

"Sync update for my existing version of Sync has problem that Ford knows about and hasn't come up with a fix yet for vehicle owner update capability. But I can take it to the daeler and they will do it for a price. Not good!"

"Fords My touch sucks can't up date they discontinued parts of it that would be the reason I would not buy ford again"

"Right passenger door speaker keeps going on and off."

"passenger side speakers stopped working"

"Passenger side speaker began vibrating with the slightest amount of volume. Driver side does the same after a certain amount of volume. I need to adjust the fade of the speakers to the driver side or its almost impossible to listen to the stereo."

"Speaker blown in the Pixar between windshield & drivers door. $189 repair from Ford."

"I noticed the sound quality was very bad so I had the dealer look at it and they replace both the speaker right and left in the passenger and driver side doors. Sounds great know. Again this shouldn’t have happened on a 3 year old truck."

"right door speaker went bad. Replaced by Ford for no charge."

"Replaced blown speaker in door (covered by warranty)"

"They were replaced under warranty"

"Different speakers would cut out when turning corners or hitting a bump. Was in the shop 4 times for this problem but after keeping it for a week, they had gone over all connections and it is fine now. They did replace a rear speaker as well"

"Passenger door speaker had to be replaced because of poor sound quality"

"speakers in the right door has static. Dealer says he has replaced several of them"

"Speaker on right door blew out"

"scratchy static sound"

"Speaker was blown when the vehicle was bought. I replaced the speakers with after market speakers."

"Front driver side speaker was scratchy and required replacement"

"Sometimes they work, Sometimes they don't, very inconsistent and probably a head unit problem. Changed all 4 speakers, still a problem with the sound system. Can't take calls with phone because front left speaker will not work 75% of the time."

"steering is very hard during cold weather"

"When trying to start the truck with the key inserted the key or the stearing wheel would not move. They were locked and you would have to use extreme force to unlock the steering wheel and the key to start it"

"Windshield wiper switch on the blinker lever shorted out and prevented me from turning off the wipers"

"Ford is still working on it but the Sync system repeatedly fails to recognize commands properly. they fix it then it fails again."

"The voice command module either cannot understand me or it gives me options that were not even requested."

"Water leak around sun roof"

"Moon Roof leaked"

"The dealer just wants to get you in and out with no regard if the problem is fixed, and do not tell me the techs could not hear the noise (the wind howls through the cab)"

"Sun roof leaked from flaw in rail"

"seem in roof leaked water"

"Water leaked into the cab when it rained"

"Apparently there was not enough caulking to seal the windshield to the point a vacuum draft would have pulled the windshield off the truck. Even though this was a factory issue and would have happened with 0 mileage, I had to pay for repairs. My drivers floor was saturated and the rockers, where the wires are, was full of water. I had to use a turkey baster to get about 1L of water out..... No way this should have been paid for by me and this is a deal breaker for my next truck"

"It appears that the Satellite antenna on the cab roof leaked. Research indicates this is a common problem because of the poor gasket between the antenna base and the roof. Should never happen."

"Severe water leak on rear headliner. Water was getting in through the truck bed light. I sealed it myself with silicone and stopped the leak."

"Strange collection of water that dumps at the back window by driver's side passenger head. Extremely intermittent. Can't figure why"

"Sun roof leaks with water"

"Vehicle has a sunroof. Began leaking at the back, on the driver's side. Difficult to get repaired, and expensive. Would recommend avoiding all sun/moon roofs, in general."

"passenger side rear axle seal leaked and outside and in. causing oil on break pad to squeak."

"The turbos starting leaking coolant. The Ford dealer repaired the leak under warranty and it hasn't happened since the repair."

"Sliding rear window kept having the weather striping fall out and finally resulted in the window jamming partially closed. Ford's attempts to reinstall the weather striping were futile and it was not until the window jammed that Ford agreed to replace the window under warranty."

"Extra Cab door rattle when going over small bumps. Most annoying. Fix supplied by YouTube mechanic."

"The brakes squeezed the entire time I owned my truck.I have owned Ford Teucks and Never had this problem and the company would could not fix it and told me if I put after market brake pads on it to stop the squeaking the warranty would be voided ,so I traded it in and bought cash a new Honda truck. What a shame."

"Window hardware keeps coming loose and rattling"

"Rear Doors have annoying rattle when you hit sharp bumps."

"mild noise from chassis or suspension"

"The noise & squeal was from the weather stripping on the driver and passagner windows when raising or lowering the windows"

"The cab is not a four door cab. Since the backseat is a bench the back doors don't have their own main vertical beam. This makes the back doors less stable when closed first then the main door closed over it. When traveling on a rough road there is substantial rattling and squeaking where the front and back doors meet. Quite an aggravating noise!"

"Found transmission line was rattling, had to make adjustments to trans line to stop"

"Fit and finish with regards to the interior can lead to squeaks, rubs and rattles that are quite audible and very annoying. My problem areas are door frame meeting A-pillar area and arm rest mounted on door. Both squeak are rub depending on the temp, worse in summer times."

"Have ExtraCab Model. The doors rattle very annoying."

"When the transmission is in drive and you accelerate a squeak comes from the right side of the truck. Also this truck has a loose timing chain problem, known by Ford but no recall."

"Driving down the road, get LOTS of wind noise in the cab. When wind is blowing, the noise is worse."

"had all door seals replaced and it made the wind noise even worse. The dealer has no clue as to how to fix the noise"

"noisy cab"

"Wind noise from passenger front door"
