Ford F-150 Change Vehicle

"Backup and 360 cameras did not work after about 6000 miles"

"It stops and skips songs after about 20 minutes of operation"

"CD player did not work,out of the factory. Took it to the dealer and they replaced it at no charge, no problems ever since"

"Sync system failed."

"The sync system is worthless. You cannot use the navigation, the bluetooth, the radio buttons, the touchscreen has a 10-20 second delay if it works at all. The backup camera sometimes doe not work, but sometimes it stays on while driving forward."

"Radio would sometimes freeze and be come unresponsive. A couple of time the back up camera stayed on when the truck was put in drive and it stayed that way for several minutes and miles. Dealer reset the system and everything has been fine"

"Entire Sync system would lock up. No Nav, radio, bluetooth"

"Turning off the vehicle and restarting fixes the problem. Has only occurred three times."

"There are nurmarious times when the display screen freeze and the radio won't change stations, the blower won't increase or decrease speed and or the GPS is just blank. I took the truck to our Ford dealer and they said it needed an up date so they updated it. It did not correct the issue at all. I have not been back because if it does not duplacate while at the shop, they can't or won't do anything about my concerns. I have also had issues with the push-button start and folding power merrior on the pasanger side."

"The display screen feeezes, channels on the radio do not change, turning the heat or a/c up and down works on a delay."

"I am on my third Sync APIM module. First one cost $1000, second did the same thing after about a year, it was replaced for free by Ford."

"The SYNC system freezes up and will not allow use of the radio, cd, phone, blue tooth, voice commands."

"This is a very frustrating problem as it affects every function of the Sync3. The radio, navigation, hands free phone, back up camera, everything is touched by this. I will not buy another vehicle with this system in it. It may sound silly that I would say that when I have had no mechanical problems with the truck but the infotainment system is what I interact with constantly. As a salesperson driving 40K+ miles annually this is a big deal."

"The navigation screen and clock froze during a trip. This resolved by turning the truck off, then reprogramming the destination."

"After having it fixed, occasionally the following happens: the display screen will freeze up, GPS shows me driving in places I am not, the USB will not play music, I cannot make or hang up a call, voice commands do not work and I cannot change the source. This is what happened before I had to replaced the system (out of warranty) last time and I feel that I will have to replace it again when it stops working completely. I read online that this is a known issue with Ford."

"The screen would lock up regularly and be hard to re-boot, and even more so if my iPhone was connected via Bluetooth, The dealer replaced the apim module"

"Display goes blank or freezes when backing up"

"Module went bad. Sent to Ford who replaced module then had difficulty reprogramming it"

"Intermittently the screen goes blank. Sometimes if I turn off the vehicle and restart it resolves the issue. Sometimes not. I have taken it to the dealer and they say there is no problem"

"Radio screen locks up, gets lines, goes blank"

"sync 3 display would freeze up and be inoperable until vehicle was shut down and started a while later. Eventually this was fixed with an update"

"Just very slow to react"

"unresponsive display screen. Dealer replaced"

"Sync system failed and had to be reprogramed twice by the dealer."

"Every so often the screen will go blank. The next time I start the truck it will be working...so far."

"Have had at least 4 occasions where I start the vehicle and the display screen is blank. No power to radio, no sync for my phone with Bluetooth, no temp, time Date. Drive for awhile, stop turn vehicle off. Start up again and works Ok. Just turning vehicle off and restarting doesn't seem to do anything but after driving and stopping a few times it suddenly come on when the vehicle is restarted."

"Sync screen blanks out periodically -unable to resolve."

"It’s like it doesn’t connect to the power source."

"Sometimes the display screen stays black when I start the vehicle. Turning off and restarting the vehicle doesn’t help. Incidents are not predictable."

"While driving the screen just goes blank and almost like reboots. Music will continue to play but sometimes it just freezes up and I've had to pull over, shut the truck off and start it again to get it to start working again. Took it to ford and the did an update"

"Display goes blank or freezes"

"Screen would intermittently go blank and Nothing but CD player worked, but this has been replaced"

"Display sometimes goes blank when starting the car. Turn off the car for several minutes to fix the problem"

"Screen goes blank and nothing works after vehicle is off overnight it returns"

"Sync freezing up console while ending a phone call."

"Occasionally the truck jumps from music to phone to off over and over"

"All issues were related to bad module"

"Slow or no reaction of screen"

"If it comes on at all, it does not keep up with vehicle movement, nor can you use it for driving directions."

"GPS QUITS INTERMITTENLY. SLOWS DOWN ALL OTHER FUNCTIIONS. IT HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES WHIL TRAVELING WEST, YET SATTALITE RADIO REMAINED WORING. IT IS NOW FOUND THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM, BUT IT IS NOW MY EXTENEDED WARRANTY THAT HAS TO PAY FOR IT."

"A module went out that controls the navigation screens and also the phone bluetooth connection. Once the module was replaced (warranty) everything was fine."

"the navigation system often goes blank and shows nothing on the screen."

"Nav mapping and directions assist are sometimes just plain wrong or they just don't work at all."

"Very poor performance as a navigator. All our cell phones have navigation systems that navigate more wisely and can find places such as gas stations or restaurants. So my wife uses her cell phone for navigation, and the Ford system is not used by her. Worthless and expensive."

"The whole Sirius System in my truck will not up date or down load apps from my phone. I would not recommend this system."

"The gps does not update. Also even when you select shortest route it avoids toll roads if when avoid toll roads is not turned on"

"Entire screen goes blank . no radio, AC. phone ,back up camera everything black, Four times to dealer to be repaired need new chip none on shelf have to order, wrong one. try again. In Jan 17 auto braking warning came on; no one in front of me, system had to be master reset. April 23 lane monitor quit in shop now for repair. Nice truck but the electronics are worthless if they won't work all the time. What will happen when I'm out of warranty, This is 60K vehicle"

"The destination feature is 300' off when the unit will even allow you to enter a destination. Waiting on Ford"

"The gps quits and the navigation system has no idea where i am"

"System has outdated maps when I purchased truck. Ford can't tell me when updates are coming out"

"GPS quit working"

"The infotainment system SYNC 3 started to malfunction about 4 weeks ago and now is totally useless. This includes all controls and functions for the radio, navigation, GPS, Bluetooth, and phone pairing. Phone pairing is the most critical because now I can't use the hands-free function...this is a major safety issue. This issue alone is enough for me to pick a different make of truck. Ford trucks are great but the SYNC 3 system is so poorly designed if they don't change it significantly I won't buy another Ford again."

"The sync 3 system at times takes 5 plus minutes to connect and load my contacts. Ford will be reloading the system for the third time next week."

"Related to the same module that I referenced in the preceding question."

"Phone doesn’t pair, I can’t add or delete phones, I can’t charge my phone as I can error messages that say it requires too much power or USB is not supported."

"Bluetooth occasionally glitches, just freezes and I cannot hang up or make calls, play music, sometimes the screen freezes. The only thing to do is to turn of the ignition and open a door, wait for it to shut down, then turn on the ignition again. This happens less often now that they installed an update to address a known factory bug in the Sync3 software on my vehicle."

"The phone will not stay paired. The Sync3 drops the phone in mid conversation or song. This is a serious problem with the hands free laws. Software updates by me and the dealership haven’t fixed the problem. It is so annoying that I will not consider buying a Ford with this system again."

"System froze, had to stop pickup, shut it off, and then restart."

"It drops my phone or won't connect"

"On occasion the radio screen goes blank after starting with no music. When I shutoff the ignition and restart it then works. the display screen also at time freezes with the 911 assist is on message"

"My Sirius satellite radio losing signals frequently. I have not had the issue with other vehicles which I suspect is linked to either a software problem or antenna issue"

"Sometimes the audio will not come on. I've had to stop the car, turn off the engine, wait several minutes, and then try again. This has worked on occasion, but not always. After several hours (usually overnight), the audio system works again. Very frustrating. The dealer told me this had to do with the computer system and electronics, and that there was nothing they could do about it. I was not happy having paid cash in excess of $63,000 for the truck!"

"After locking the truck and returning later the radio will not work. The vehicle must be driven a while and then stopped and shut the motor off and lock the vehicle. Let it sit for a few minutes, unlock the vehicle and start the truck and then the radio will work."

"when starting sometimes can not torn on radio"

"Sometimes the radio starts randomly jumping from one channel to another."

"Occasionally when you start the vehicle the radio will not come on. Sometimes when you shut the vehicle off for 10 minutes it will work other times it takes longer. When this happens the Bluetooth and sync3 do not work either. Dealerships just keeps changing components. Still not fixed"

"Five times the radio would not turn on. As a result the other associated systems would not work.(Phone, voice commands, etc)"

"XM radio would cut out even when there was nothing blocking the ant. Ford worked on it 4 times before Ford released a fix for it. It now works, but it took over 10 months to do so"

"Frequently, the radio would be in the "OFF" mode, and could not be turned "ON" until the truck had sat unused for several hours. A new part had to be ordered after several trips to the Ford Dealership to try to find and fix the problem"

"SiriusXM reception is very poor. I have the Ford dealer check it. I was told by the dealer Ford is aware of an issue with the SiriusXM receiver on the 2016 F-150"

"Tail gate electronic opener failed"

"Outdoor temperature would not register and the software update took care of it"

"I cannot get my Sync3 to up date and the dealer wants to charge to fix it was out before the warranty was up and they still want to charge."

"The rear speaker stopped working properly. I just crackled and popped. It was repaired under warrantee"

"Defective from the beginning"

"All controls stopped working (hands free calling, cruise control, dash information options, etc.). It was repaired by Ford Dealership where purchased at no charge to me under my Certified Ford warranty."

"I have owned this vehicle for almost two years, but Sync 3 still at times has difficulty recognizing contacts that i call frequently."

"My SYNC system goes down periodically and when that happens I lose ability to use voice commands."

"The Ford voice action system does not recognize my wife's voice, so this system is useless to her. This truck is my wife's vehicle."

"Poor voice recognition for nav and climate control"

"Safety recall caused by possible defective latch."

"can't drive truck in winter due to doors freezing won't close, recall does not fix problem been to dealership 2 times."

"Doors are not aligned correctly.Wind noise ."

"Recall on door latch cable"

"There was a problem with other F150s -the door latch wouldn't engage and the door could come open at any time. While it didn't occur on my truck, I had it serviced as recommended by Ford. The service was free to me-parts and labor (covered by Ford)."

"Vehicle has been in the shop multiple times for issues with the door latches freezing, and am currently pending yet another optional recall."

"Frozen door locks. doors can be opened but will not close and latch"

"recall that took almost a full day to repair"

"Fenders and doors alignment"

"The driver's side door does not close properly. it often remains slightly ajar. I mentioned it to the salesperson prior to taking delivery and he minimized the problem and did nothing to address it"

"Difficult to close the door. Had to be slammed hard"

"Passenger door mechanism froze up and door could not be closed"

"In cold weather the latch would occasionally not close and hold the door shut. The problem was diagnosed to be an issue with water infiltrating the cable and freezing which was restricting the cable's movement. New cables were installed and everything works well now"

"The front door and the back door rubbed"

"Window had chips on purchase"

"Windshield cracked and had to be replaced after the defroster automatically turned on when the truck was remote started in weather that was about 38 degrees F. What's worse is that Ford only warranties the windshield from defects (such as this) up to 12,000 miles. As we live in central Texas, it never got cold enough during the first 12,000 miles to know the windshield was defective. So much for 36K bumper to bumper"

"The cooled seats only cool for a short time then over heat. Ford has no solution and says they work as designed. As an Aerspace Engineer myself this is an unacceptable answer"

"The seat cooling is very poor. the seat base cools OK but the back rest does not cool. Dealer has tried with out success to fix. The seat heating works OK"

"LOCKS FROZE IN COLD WEATHER"

"Inconsistent unlocking of doors and tailgate caused by oxidation of remote receiver. Recall was not forwarded to me"

"Driver's door would not latch in cold weather. The problem was corrected by a repair under a recall program."

"Latch recall performed latches still not working properly all the time"

"In wet followed by freezing weather the power door and tailgate locks and the backup camera do not operate"

"Locks frozen due to water seeping in door frames then freezing. Could not unlock one or more doors when below freezing"

"Door latches freeze open when temperatures drop to -5c and door won't close until cabin heats up thawing them out. Ford grounded the truck as a safety issue then replaced all latches but it took 6 weeks to get the parts due to back order. Once replaced driver door latch wouldn't lock requiring another replacement"

"Tailgate opens while driving"

"Interior passenger side front door handle inoperable from factory. Fixed under warranty"

"Heated side mirror cracked in use during cold weather"

"The driver's side mirror has a very irritating reflection of the chrome trim on the driver's side air vent. I asked the dealer's service department about how to address this and I was told I could go to their aftermarket trim division and pay more money to have my truck customized by painting the trim flat black"

"Panoramic moonroof would sometimes fail to close, and the rolling shade would make loud squeaking/creaking noises when closed or opened. Called Coconut Point Ford dealership for repair, was covered under warranty. They scheduled the appointment a month out. Brought in, said the specialist wasn't there but would fix it anyway. Issue recurred, but worse, moonroof popped out of the track on one side, mostly open. I live in an area where it rains near daily in the summer. I brought it to them and they took it back to look at, came back later that day and they said that there was no problem. They had popped it back in the track and I could see gobs of grease in the track. The next day it bound up again and wouldn't close. After many tries I ultimately was able to get it to close. Also, at this point it leaked every time it rained even if it was closed. I called them and they didn't want to make an appointment. I brought it in the following week and just sat in their office until they acknowledge me and shared with them videos, etc. and said, politely, if they didn't repair it this fourth time I would contact Ford corporate. They kept my truck almost 3 weeks. By this time it was just over the 36,000 mile warranty cutoff and I ended up being over $1,000 out of pocket for a repair that they initiated under warranty. They also said they negotiated with Ford corporate to give me this discounted rate and that I was very lucky. They ultimately replaced the motor, track, and some other bits. They gave the truck back to me with the trim all scratched and gaping in the middle dash area and the spring loaded door around my USB ports wouldn't close or open. There was a bunch of tape too. I brought it back again and they cleaned it up and put it back together correctly. At least they didn't argue with me about that or charge for it, but my trim has never been the same and there are scratches, uneven mating joints now. So about 6 months, six trips to the dealership, horrible treatment by their service advisors, over $1,000 out of pocket for what was initially a warranty item."

"sunroof track broke. I was told it had been redesigned and would cost around 4500 to fix. I was thinking if they redesigned it then there must have been a known problem with the old version. Extended warranty did cover replacing with the old style parts so i did it."

"Track was broken. Roof and sunshade would not operate"

"the tailgate design allows road dirt and debris to come inside. Even with a roll-n-lock cover things in the cargo area get dirty and wet. When driving on snowy roads, the cargo box fills with salt and slush. This is the fifth F150 Lariat that I have had and the first one with this problem. If you stand in the cargo box, you can see right out to the road, both on the sides and the bottom of the tailgate. Very sloppy design"

"There is a hole in the tailgate for the bed extender. When you get a load of dirt or sod in my case, dirt and debris falls into the hole and stays in the tailgate and oozes dirty water when you wash the vehicle"

"Stress fracture in windshield."

"A leaky seal caused water to drip into the passenger compartment."

"water leaking into cab from firewall and the rear door"

"drain on roof was clogged causing waterloo back up end dripping of water on drivers seat."

"have taken it to dealer 4 times due to passenger side water leak from sunroof. this last time they said that they think there was a sharp bend in the drain tube and it just couldn't handle all the water at times. they would have the vehicle about a week each time testing it under car washes and all kinds of stuff. I certainly hope they correctly figured it out this time. will NEVER buy a vehicle with a sun roof again."

"Minor water leak on drivers side of windshield"

"I bought the truck new. It POURED water from the sunroof and soaked the passengers. Dealer was not sympathetic"

"I had major leak in the sunroof which had to be repaired 2 times"

"Water gets into the doors and freezes in cold weather. The latches freeze so the doors won't latch when attempting to close them. I took it to my Ford dealer in February. They haven't fixed it yet because the parts are back ordered"

"Drain tube was kinked at the factory, causing rainwater to back up and drain into the interior. At one point, the glove compartment had two inches of water in it! The dealer took care of it in one day and there have been no subsequent problems"

"As soon as cold water hit, door l.ocks froze and i could not get into truck. Roof also leaked at that time..took six visits to resolve lock issue. Roof leak took one visit"

"Seal around drivers door"

"same problem"

"Moonroof had a noise when going over road bumps & was corrected seal replacement & grease"

"Leaking on passenger side of truck"

"Moon roof leaked at first freeze. Resolved"

"Rattle on center console slider door that houses usb's. Very loud and annoying. Replaced and fixed by Ford."

"It was a silent truck that worked perfectly and had no rattles. We received notice of a recall for a door safety issue and took it to the local dealer, Valley Isle Ford. They were so incompetent, they kept the truck for two days to do the recall work because they didn't schedule properly. When we got the truck back, it now has an annoying rattle in the right front passenger door."

"There was a clunking noise in the rear end. Checked but problem not cured told it was play in rear end"

"The noise was coming from the steering wheel. A piece of plastic was rubbing on another piece of plastic. The dealership fixed the problem."

"rattles in the dash can't seem to be found. drives me nuts. just have to turn up the radio"

"Recently started hearing a rattle from what sounds like the sun roof mechanism."

"headliner near front of sunroof squeaking. fixed by dealer"

"Poor build quality. Results in rattles and squeaks even on smooth roads"

"Wind noise is increasing all the time, even after following dealer instructions and wiping all rubber with silicone-moistened cloth."

"The wind noise seems to becoming from the rear doors or windows. Other than that l have no complaints."

"Wind noise in driver side after recall on door locks"

"noise is very loud sometimes I have a hard time to hear the radio"

"wind noise coming from around the sun roof"

"Rear driver door needed adjustment"

"it has more air noise than i would expect. needs better weatherstripping"

"Drivers door has airleak"

"Seems to be louder than my 2011 F150 also there is a chirping sound coming from the brakes at very slow speeds when braking"
