Ford F-150 Reviews

I bought a used 2016 F-150 XLT January 15 2019. It had 36.000 miles. This is the list of things that have been replaced. One of the fog lights dropped out of its bracket and had to be replaced. Side passenger mirror light stopped working $250. Brake vacuum pump replaced $600. Exhaust manifold warped and replaced $1000. Brake actuators replaced $300. Ford accessories folding tonneau cover latch replaced $100. Passenger side Turbo replaced $2500. Turbo Air tube cracked and replaced. Crank seal Replaced $1500. I asked Ford Motor co to buy it back but they said it was outside of the NY state guidelines. I have only had this truck for 6 months. This truck only had 36.000 miles on it when I bought it. I found out that the previous owner had the other Turbo replaced. This truck is a lemon. I owe too much money on it to trade it in. This should never happen to a truck with less than 50.000 miles on it.

2018 F150 5.0. The truck has been very disappointing since it hit 1000km when the noises started. I used to think people were looking at my shiny new truck when I was driving by until I opened the window. The engine rattles, whines, whistles, grinds. It gets old fast and I'm embarrassed to drive this thing already. The truck has 7000km and it's already getting an engine replacement. The replacement engines have the same issues and Ford seems to not care. I hope anyone looking to buy one of these does their research and realize what you're getting into. Look up YouTube videos on these 5.0 engines and save yourself the depreciation on a brand new truck that you have to get rid of 7 months later..

There are a couple a features that I believe the user should be able to turn on/off. The do-do-do noise when you leave the key in, is incredible annoying. If you want to listen to the radio with the truck off, you will listen to this noise over the radio non-stop. The other feature is the auto lock when you drive. If you stop just for a second to load something up, the tailgate will be locked unless you unlock it when you get out. I know, these are minor things, but for me...unless these are addressed by Ford, it will be a Chevy for me next time. And just in case you say, "These are safety features that shouldn't be shut off" consider this. Ford does allow you to shut off the seat belt alarm. Hard to believe they allow seat belt alarms to be shut off, but key in noise, or auto lock while driving is too important to be allowed to be shut off. Going crazy with my new Ford. Wish I didn't buy it!!

Purchased a brand new F-150 Powerstroke 2 months ago. Has now broken down twice going down the highway at 70 mph. Engine completely shuts off and won't re-start. We are out nearly $1000 out of pocket for a tow and rental. First break-down occurred after hours, second occurred on a holiday when we were three hours away from home. While the pickup was in the shop, they never even replaced anything. Blamed it on a faulty sensor, and only cleaned it out. Ford Roadside Assistance and Ford Customer Service continue to pass us off between departments, and no one has been able to get us reimbursed. We have a vacation coming up in a week, and not only do we not feel confident this brand new vehicle will get us there safely, we are also $1000 short on our vacation fund. We have been loyal Ford Customers: In the past 5 years, we have purchased 4 brand new vehicles. We will NEVER purchase another Ford vehicle after this experience.

Purchased my 2017 Platinum with 14k miles. Around the time for the first oil change I noticed a rattle or ticking noise. The advisor said it was normal when starting the truck. I let him listen to it while in the service bay and he said his does the same thing. The following week I returned to the dealer (due to this noise) same advisor was there and said yeah, that sounds odd and louder than last week. Another advisor listens and says no, that’s not normal. They determined that the cam phasers were bad and needed to be replaced.

I had a 2013 Ford F-150 FX2 with all the accessories. I had the oil changed regularly and had it was changed a month before the engine went out. I stopped at a red light and the engine made a funny noise and died. I had to be pushed out of traffic. I had the truck towed in to the nearest for dealership. They kept it two days before telling me the oil pump went out which caused the engine to seize and fail. NO WARNING lights informed me of this even though the truck was supposed to be top of the line.

My experience with my used 2012 F150 is bit of a love hate relationship, I could talk about how it used to have a smooth ride and it was nice to have the extended bed when I had to haul my toolbox to my new job. But what I would like to talk to you about is the longevity of this engine is questionable at best. March 25, 2018 I got a used F150 3.5 Ecoboost with 71,000 miles on it for roughly 23,000.00 dollars in debt at a dealership (Lilliston Ford of Vineland NJ) that I now know them to be scum. I will tell you that I put on 88,000 miles (17k was from me driving it) within the 10 months of ownership and they where problem free miles until the unplanned happened January 27, 2019. Took it a mile to go to a local corner store, ate there for about 30 mins, proceed to take the truck out of the parking lot and gave it a little gas to get up to speed and it die about 50 yard form the parking lot that I just came out of.

I took by used (30,000 miles) 2017 F150 Platinum to my local dealer for its first oil change after purchasing the vehicle. The oil and filter was changed prior to taking delivery and I drove approx. 6,500 miles before going to the Ford dealer for the first oil change I would have performed on the truck. The truck has a powertrain warranty to 60,000 miles. Approx. 600 miles after this oil change I started dealing with "check engine" light issues, reduced power and poor running condition. After numerous 5+ (all documented with Ford paperwork) visits for service the issue is unable to be fixed. The dealership says they have found non-metallic debris in the oil of the engine. They have cleaned and replaced solenoid and changed oil twice. The conditions return approx 300 - 150 miles after an oil change.

I wanted to make a complaint about Ford Motor Co. On yesterday, April 2, 2019 my Ford F150 truck exploded into fire without a cause, the engine wasn't on nor the keys in the ignition. The fire generated under the hood and completed destroyed the vehicle. It also caught my grass in my front yard on fire. If I had walked out to go to work 5 minutes earlier I would have lost my life.

2011 F-150 EcoBoost. Good truck for the first 30k miles.

I should have done my own walk-around inspection. I noticed the check engine light on as I drove it home for the first time at 80 miles. The service department was closed so I took it in the next day and they "couldn't figure out what the problem is." I am in a small loaner SUV indefinitely.

So, we bought a new 2017 2.7 liter EcoBoost, with a 6 speed transmission. Great truck. Then around 10,000 kms it starts to blow white smoke upon start up. As most people know, white smoke usually means, you're blowing antifreeze. The dealer says they can't find a problem. Eventually they offer me a 2018 F-150 for the same payment per month, sounds good right? I get my 2018 F-150 but this one I wanted a V8 5.0 liter with the ten speed transmission. Big mistake, long story short. I checked the oil between oil changes, before 12,000 kms to find out on the dipstick I was almost out of oil. By the way, I park in the same spot everyday at work, and have zero oil leaks. Ford doesn't have any answers yet. Also, my 10 speed transmission downshifts very hard. Was told it's not showing any codes. Not happy with Ford.

Updated on 05/18/2019: Bought a new F-150. Ford agrees with me that my F-150 is a lemon law buyback. I have been trying to negotiate, by the law in my state, with Ford. Ford refuses to apply the lemon law correctly to my situation. For example, I had 2 trade ins with zero negative equity, a large cash down payment, thousands of dollars made in payments, a large sum in Ford Customer Cash Rebates and somehow Ford says I need to pay several thousands of dollar more in order for Ford to complete the buyback process of their defective F-150. Ford knew prior to selling the f-150 that it has known defects Ford can’t fix. Ford is dishonest and fraudulent. Ford doesn’t care about consumers or the law. Buyer beware. Do not buy a ford product.

I purchased a new Fx4 with the 3.5l ten speed transmission and have no complaints whatsoever. Shifting is smooth and quiet starting or stopping. This is my fifth new Ford pickup in about eighteen years. I have never had mechanical problems with any of the pickups. I also drive like a bat out of hell along with huge amounts of miles on every one of them. Love them.

80% of the gear shift happens out of time causing a bump/slam on the transmission. Downshifting to a stop is the worst for it really hard shift every time you come to a stop. It has being at the dealer 4 times and every time the response is "it is normal". It is not. It is a piece of junk. To make it worst the so called adaptation, which is supposed to learn your drive style and make the shifting better, do the opposite to the point I need to erase its memory every 500 miles... It is irritating.

I have owned a 2016 Ford F150 since new, now with 50k miles. Thus far my transmission slams, windshield wipers won't turn off, and my phone never connects to the sync system. To me, these trucks are slapped so quickly together and everything is built as cheaply as possible. It doesn't ride well, and with the aluminum frame, a breeze flexes the body panels.

I've owned both from new... Ford F-150 52k and had to install a catch can and have to drain it frequently. Bad pinion bearings in rear end 1k. Replace the wheel bearings front and back, all brake rotors, both front wheel lockers, 2 Piece drive shaft, still have something grinding like a wheel bearing noise with vibration so I'm waiting for the transfer case or transmission to fail. 122k on it. Never tow or haul heavy, just a Motorcycle and a ATV. Toyota has my vote. Had a 2004 for 200k miles worry free Toyota.

I wish I would have never bought this 2018 F150 5.0! The engine rattles every time I let off the gas when it is cold and the rattle only just gets quieter when the engine is warm but is still there. The transmission shifts weird when cold. There is a strange turkey call type noise coming from somewhere in the rear end under acceleration in 2nd and 3rd gear. The dash is warped and bowed up and dumb looking. I am so unhappy with this truck. I paid a for me an extremely large amount of money for this vehicle and Ford isn't making any attempts to fix anything. I had the TSB computer reflash done for the engine rattle and it does absolutely nothing for it. And Ford will not authorize any repairs for the warped dash. What a joke. I will never buy a Ford junk product again I hope they go bankrupt and out of business!

Updated on 02/08/2019: So Ford Motor finally responded to my trucks erratic 10 speed transmission issue. (I had the truck into the dealership for the 4th time, this last time they had it for 4 days). Ford's official response to me through dealership: "Yes after we reset the transmission software, the truck will drive much better for few weeks, but the AI software then learns my driving habits and it will change accordingly” - there is nothing wrong with it! So Ford is telling me that I chose to have the transmission hang out of gear when braking from 50 mph until I am almost stopped and then it drops in with a thunderous noise and the back of the truck almost leaving the pavement! Not to mention very rough upshifts with gears 1-5. Ford has a very big problem on its hands with this buggy transmission. I am dumping my 2018 F 150 and buying a GMC with their proven 8 speed transmission.

I purchased a 2018 F-150 EcoBoost with a 2.7L and ten speed transmission. With the exception of some goofy shifting it has been good up to about 19k miles. First problem was noise from the wheel ends. Brought it in and was found to have a massive oil leak. Those things were fixed and a thousand miles later I had to have the front differential rebuilt, then about 300 miles later I’m having the front diff rebuilt again along with a wonky transfer case addressed that skips and grabs.

We just purchased a brand new 2018 Ford F150 XLT. While the experience at the dealership was horrendous, I'm also having issues with the truck as well. This is my second F150. The first was a 2013 and I'm still kicking myself for letting it go. The new 2018 is a mess. With 700 miles on it it got to face snow. My 2013 had automatic all wheel drive. This truck just slides down my street that doesn't get plowed. If I put it in 4H, I cannot turn! At all. Not even out of the driveway and onto the street. I've tried locking and unlocking and 4L. Unless I am in 2H, it won't turn. This severely limits where I can drive in this weather. The difference between the 2018 and the 2017 in 4WD makes me sick that I have the 2018.

I just recently purchased a brand new Ford F150 2018. Already the check engine light has came on twice for cylinder misfire. There's a recall on the rear doors for freezing shut. I have a rim that the coating is peeling off on and the paint is about the worst paint I have ever seen on a car - scratches when you look at. I also have a leaking radiator that has to be replaced and this is all on a brand new F-150 with 4000 miles on it. I have called World Headquarters and let them know that this will be the last Ford I purchase and that their name was built on their reputation and now they're letting it slip away with cheap products, paint and interior makeup. Why do we pay more and more for cars with less quality and craftsmanship? I hope Ford sees my review and the multiple other ones about how the quality of the product has went down exponentially.

I have been buying Ford trucks for more than 30 years. Their trucks are starting to have lots of problems. I have repaired the same thing on multiple trucks as I have a fleet and find it hard to believe that each truck in the same year failed at same mileage with exact same problem and that particular part was recalled in other models. But not defective by their standards. With no help from Ford or problem take several busy days to get answers. I after buying more than 30 Fords over the years will be switching to another brand as I have nothing to lose by the change as Ford does not stand behind their poorly built product.

Seems as if Ford is not recalling these trucks. Spoke to a Ford mechanic and says this is a common problem (blown out spark plug 4.6 engine) with the Triton v/8s. I think Ford should be responsible for paying for this as it is not fair to the consumer.

I have a 2016 F150. 4 times now the auto breaking system engaged for no reason. 3 of the times I was driving in cruise control down a straight section of highway, highway 80 going to Lake Tahoe, the auto breaking system engaged for no reason while passing a semi truck. The latest auto breaking episode almost killed us. We were driving back from Lake Tahoe on Highway 80, (cruise control was not on), when we were passing a semi truck on a curve in the two lane highway going about 70 miles per hours when the auto breaking system engaged for NO REASON and slowed our truck down from 70 to about 35 miles per hour in just 1-2 seconds... I was not able to override by flooring the accelerator for at least 2-4 seconds... A semi truck behind us came within inches from rear ending us!! This issue NEEDS to be address by Ford, it's a huge safety issue!!

I purchased a new F-150. Before it had about 100,000 miles on it I had it in the shop to replace transmission twice plus other numerous repairs. After a while dealer wouldn't even return my calls. Now after all of these problems I was told I need a engine. It has been more trouble then it was worth. If someone gives me a Ford I would sell. What is really upsetting is that I thought if I let the dealer service it would be better. It didn't do any good.

It was my intent to buy after the lease expires. I purchased my 2018 F150 Lariat from Damerow Ford, Portland OR, in March. It has been 9 months. Multiple recalls, leak in roof, & now door won’t close.

This is second post on my 2018 Ford F-150. Bought it May. Since my last review I have had to have both fog lights replaced because they were cracked on the inside of the housing, both seatbelts in the front replaced, 110 plug replaced and they can't stop the water leaking in from the firewall. Said that they fixed it 3 different times. Trailer warning lights come on and off while driving with no trailer, and the radio and heater works half hearted. Plus no word on fixing the dashboard. I have video and pictures of all.

My 2018 F-150 is the most problematic vehicle I have ever owned. In less than a year I've had several electrical and mechanical problems that have resulted in 6 trips to the dealership for repairs. I don't think I'm alone in this as each time I need service it takes at least 2 weeks for the local dealership to get me in. My first issue was mostly a minor annoyance at only 3k miles when all of my USB plugs stopped working. No it didn't affect the mechanical ability of the truck but it’s disappointing when your new $55k vehicles great new features don't work.

My F150 2002 is only 6 years old and I've put in $5000 in repairs. It's started breaking down right at the 50000 mile mark, literally about 150 miles after so nothing was under warranty. I'm still paying it off. This was my first Ford and will be my last. How can it be legal to sell cars that break down literally right after the warranty is up?

I have a 2016 F150. 30k miles. Bought it New. Got up at 3am this morning to leave on a trip for my son's graduation. Truck won't start. Get an error "Battery Shut Down". Spent 1 1/2 hours online so I can get the truck started. There is no fix. No reset. No way to start the car because of this system Ford's genius engineers put into their vehicles. If you buy a Ford, you will be stuck with no way to start your car. Go on the internet and find out for yourself. You spend $50k for a car and it should start.

I purchased a new Ford 150, 2017, King Ranch, with the eco-boost engine at the end of 2017. My first issue occurred when the tailgate open when I was towing a trailer. The key is poorly designed and I constantly set off the alarm, or automatically open the tailgate when I put the key in my pocket or when I am holding it. The trail broke off the back handle with the camera, though the camera still functioned. I was given a price of $680 for the part, but I would have to find my own body shop to complete the repair. They told me that we could not utilize the existing camera. I took it to a body shop and they did the whole repair, had no problem utilizing the existing camera and did the whole repair for less than Ford was going to charge for just the part. At 24,000 miles I started to have issues when I started the vehicle. I left it with Ford for 6 days and all they were able to tell me was that it was an engine issue and they would need at least a week.

I bought my Ford used but I also know that the company has had many complaints on the same issues I feel like should have been addressed. I bought a 2010 Ford F150. The day I drove it off the lot I had to take it to shop to have rear end replaced because of the clutches which I got fixed then turned around and here we are exactly a year later my truck not only needs the rear end fixed again but also four wheel drive as well as cam phasers less than 100,000 miles and the truck not only looks like crap with paint peeling but you can't drive it. Not to mention the fact that due to Ford's negligence of not taking care of certain complaints I can't even get into my truck due to health issues.

I ordered my 2015 Ford F-150 from the factory March 2015. Day one: driver seat leather had a crease. Diagnosis: tighten the leather. Returned to dealership as that failed. Solution: new leather with new cushion. The seat now squeaks and has two permanent tracks in it as the metal frame is now embedded in the leather. Transmission from gear 4 to 5 started to abruptly shift as anticipated after reading Consumer Reports. Windshield wiper stopped working. Ford diagnosed the wiper motor-fried. They wanted $400 for the part alone. Researched and tested the motor myself and the motor worked fine but the wiper linkage was seized. After being only 3 years old, are you kidding me! Told them to pound sand and did the work myself? Part $98 and one hour of my time - thanks YouTube. Ford still stuck me with the initial $60 diagnosis fee and would not refund the misdiagnosis on their part.

My F150 XLT super cab Flex Fuel Vehicle was ordered with a CNG capable option meaning it has hardened valve seats. I ordered the 3:31 rear axle ratio and like the electronic fuel monitoring displays. It got 18MPG around town and 22MPG highway. At 500 miles I added a compressed natural gas conversion kit and now get 30MPG around town and 35+MPG on highway. The engine has 16 gasoline injectors which are not shut off when CNG is added. The engine computer thinks it has a tailwind going downhill and reduces gasoline flow to make room for the CNG supplement. The Ford ECM and oxygen sensor system controls the air/fuel ratio. I can switch to 100% gasoline if CNG runs out but the FFV learns to like the CNG+gasoline mixture. So far it has been a beautiful truck for me.

I have a well taken care of 2013 Ford F-150 with 45,000 miles on it. I have noticed paint bubbling with rust forming underneath the paint on the drivers side rear quarter panel. I have contacted Ford corporation which put me in contact with Mat a regional manager at Ford. I explained my situation to him and he had told me to get an estimate at a Ford body shop to see what they can do. I wound up getting the estimate where I have my Ford dealership, and the supervisor of the paint and body shop looked at my truck. He seen the paint bubbling and told me that there is nothing that I could have done to prevent this. He said he seen it before and sometimes from the factory. Ford misses spots with the rust Inhibitor.

In early 2016 had 95000km on truck (2011 F150 3.5 L EcoBoost). Complained to dealership service rep at that time about no pick up in the truck. Had the extended warranty up to Aug 2016. Service rep started to get irate and stated, "This EcoBoost engine is great and there have never been problems." Now 2018 with only 119,000 km on the truck and the timing chain needs to be replaced. Ford will not pay but dealership is paying for some of the cost to replace timing chain. Had a Ford Focus station wagon with 120,000km from 2005 to 2011 with no problems. I traded it in for the EcoBoost F150. Bad decision.

2012 F150 Lariat: Worst experience ever. First I had electrical issues at 60,000 km. The truck turned off while I was driving, I lost all breaking and steering. It was the scariest moment of my life while driving. I was lucky not to die or crash the vehicle. $3500.00 later no warranty. Next at 120,000km, my timing chain broke, $4000.00 to get that fixed and the shop said, "Oh yeah that happens all the time." Also the truck has cold break issues, what I mean is the breaks don't work when you first start to drive, also super scary when you live in the mountains, I almost went off a cliff 3 times (would have died if I didn't get lucky with a down tree to stop me. DO NOT GET A FORD TRUCK.

Thanks to the electric adjustments of the steering wheel, seat and pedals, it is very easy to find the ideal position and the one that best suits you to drive. The large windows and the already characteristic cut of the Wolf (F-150) in the window of the driver and passenger work very well to have a panoramic view in any direction, something very necessary in a vehicle of its dimensions. Finally, it is not that you need it, but the panoramic awning gives you a feeling of greater interior spaciousness.

45 days ago my Ford F-150 Platinum had an issue with the air conditioner going off, radio stuck on, blind spot malfunctions, tire pressure malfunctions, key detector malfunction, running boards won’t come out, windows won’t roll down, door locks won’t work, and many more issues. Brought it to dealership and it still sits there broken. They changed a module and a sensor and now they say it needs a different module that’s on a National back order. No estimated time of when it will be fixed. Truck just made a year old and only has 15,000 miles. Very dissatisfied and this has turned me completely off of Ford vehicles.

Ford F-150 - This has been one of the best trucks I have ever owned. The EcoBoost motor is fantastic with the 3.5 liter engine. I have the max tow package of 12,200 lbs in a short bed and pull a 12,000 lb 5th wheel and on open ground. It is effortless for it to pull. I would highly recommend this truck over a Dodge or Chevrolet as it is far ahead of both in new technology.

My Ford F-150 is a good reliable vehicle with an overall appealing look. It has a lot of amenities that are nice and it's a quiet smooth ride. It's comfortable and the interior is spacious with plenty of room for our family. The folding center front seat/console is convenient for my large family. But has some issues with door locks. The key fob replacements are expensive and when the body control module went out it was not fun to replace. Still, it was definitely worth taking to the dealer for this specific problem. I have traded vehicles many times but I don't want to trade this one.

My husband needs something we are able to haul his boat and when he cuts wood he needs something that he can use to throw wood in the back of the truck. I like the car for the most part and I like that it will fit all three of my kids car seats. It can haul things because the other 2 vehicles we have we are not able to haul. wood with. We bought it from a used car dealership and the guy said that he had drove it for a few weeks and didn't have any problems with the truck. But the radio does not work and it stopped working soon after we bought it. Only had it for 15 days before it stopped working.

Ford is a wonderful brand and the Ford F-150 is a very well made truck. It's sturdy, and the year model has some pretty good features. There's a lot of room as well. I love the colors of the truck. It's two tone. However, this truck must of been in a car accident. It has had many issues. We have had to do a lot of work to this truck. I also wish this truck had a longer bed and that it had a touchscreen and heated seats as well. But other than that, it's a wonderful truck.

My husband and I are thrilled with our F150. We love its towing capability as well and the spacious interior. The truck is comfortable to ride in and feels very safe in all weather conditions. We feel we have gotten a good bang for our buck with the technology in this truck. We feel that other brands charge you for upgrades that come as standard features in Ford vehicles. Some of these features include Apple CarPlay, a large touchscreen and backup camera, and an awesome GPS feature.

I would not give my F-150 (2007 FX4) a good rating for longevity and repair. I have a 5.4 liter V-8 and tune up at 90k was over $800.00 because spark plug design is such that the plugs break off into the cylinder head more times than not. One steering problem after another. I like to keep my vehicles for a long time but this Ford is making me go broke. Next truck will be a Chevy or Toyota!! Ford quality stinks!!

Have owned several vehicles of this model (Ford F-150) and have always had good experiences with this model. I feel safe in this truck and it is easy to see out and this makes it easier to drive. I like the GPS and running boards that fold in when doors are closed. Leather seats and a sliding glass roof made this model one of my top picks. I also like the color combination of interior and exterior. However, I dislike having to reset everything when the battery goes dead. The manual could be more user-friendly too. Could find what I needed in manual after searching for hours and finally called the dealership.

We are very happy with the Ford F-150 truck. In our business, we need a reliable vehicle and this car shots all our needs. It gets great gas mileage too. It is roomy in the front and back for all of us to sit comfortable as well. We could not be happier with our choice of vehicles. However, if we were to get another model, it will be a bigger model for the work we do. We seem to outgrow each model quicker than I thought that we would.

My cousin gave it to me. So I liked that it was free and also how high up it sits which gives me a greater field of vision and makes me feel safer than being in a smaller, shorter vehicle in this massive Denver Metro traffic. However, the seatbelts go across the front of my neck no matter how I adjust them and I'm 5'8"! I find myself having to twist it around twice by the buckle before buckling in or taking the shoulder belt and pulling it over my head and across the back of my seat and only driving with the lap belt for protection. It's a scary proposition in the traffic I have to drive in every day. Other than that, I love this truck!! It's very dependable and provides the income necessary to afford the high cost of living in the Denver Metropolitan area. I drive 200 miles a day and my truck now has over 380,000 miles on it and is still going strong.

I have personally owned this make model of vehicle in the past and it has always met my every need. I live in an area that four wheel drive is needed so that makes this vehicle perfect. The options available for this vehicle are as wonderful as the vehicle itself. There are many features that I like about the Ford F-150 including the four wheel drive. Also the fact that I was able to get four doors and seating for five is wonderful. It's difficult to think of improving an already perfect vehicle without ruining it.

We purchased a Ford F-150 with the intent in using it for hauling large items and pulling a trailer. We have had it for 4 years and has been a great old truck for its age. We even bought a new windshield and it looks great again. Needs a paint job though. Overall, I am very impressed by this truck. It's old but it's tough and can last longer than a time. It has certainly earned its use. It's bittersweet because I love to hate that truck and I hate that I love it too.

I am very happy with my Ford F-150 Super Cab and it lives up to all the standards that I expect from the Fords. I am happy with the motor power and pulling ability. It is very good work truck. It has great towing power and can hold bigger loads. It has also been great for family time out and has a lot of room for the whole family. We go for outings a lot more now that we have enough room for everyone. This truck was made for a bigger family. It has become the best truck so far that I have owned. I also believe my next truck will also be a Ford series.

I just leased the Ford F-150 about 6 months ago. I absolutely love it! It is a little bigger than I expected, but it is so easy to drive! It is a really great truck. I also have a Ford Taurus and my Ford dealer has been great to me, so I continue to go back to them when I am looking for a vehicle. I love the look of the Ford trucks. But they are a little expensive, so maybe if they were a little cheaper it would be nice.

F-150 XL Ford is my new model from the Ford brand. I knew this brand so powerful from my coworker, he know what the best car ever exist in this year. Then I try to make some research first to see which model fit me the most. This model I choose because it got all the features I need in one place, more efficient and more potent. They include some co boost, and features like 10 speed, automatic transmission and auto start-stop tech. But it's too big which I more prefer medium. Sometimes this new model got something I dont like, it does not have some seat that feel more comfortable like the previous model. But this new car looks so perfect when driving thru.

The truck was great on gas and provided a comfortable ride. It made traveling out of town a great experience. Its short bed was exactly what I liked. It also had eco boost which helped with the gas that the truck used. The traction control helped when the weather is bad too. The short wheelbase was the right look for the vehicle that I prefer. In my opinion, it was a fantastic truck and I would recommend this model to people looking for a great vehicle.

My Ford F150 truck has been a great vehicle. One of the best I have owned. Very little maintenance and when it does need repairs so far it has been very affordable. I like the extended cab, body style and color. I wanted to try a Ford after driving GM and Chevy models for years. I remember the phrase "found on road dead", that was what Ford meant to the haters out there. But not true at all. Great vehicle to have and be proud to say you own one. But the back window started leaking water when it rains though. The bed detached about two inches from the cab for no reason at all. I should take it to the dealership and question what is going on with that situation. But I enjoy Ford products overall.

I bought it from my roommate's brother whose dad owned it and I got it as a work truck for my lawn care company. I chose this vehicle because it was a good work truck. It's a great, reliable and tough truck. It's very cheap and it was exactly what I needed. This vehicle had an extended cab with a third door and have a really powerful engine. It also had a back row. It was very affordable with power windows and a third door. However, the car windows stopped working and the air conditioner died on it. I would fix those and add a fourth door instead of just three.

I have been driving Fords for over 40 years. Ford has always had issues with 2 things brakes on large vehicles and transmissions. I recently purchased a 2018 F-150 Platinum and the transmission went out. It scared the crap out of me when it happened. Dropped it off at the closest ford dealer and they said the valve shift body needed replacing so they did and still doesn't work so corporate had them tear transmission apart and said to replace more parts, Corporate again, not a new transmission. So I asked what guarantee this will fix and the reply is we hope it does. This is day 8 without my truck which is only 3 months old. Parts won't be at dealership until next week so 2 weeks minimum with no guarantee it will work. Ford customer service is no better they say we can only do what the repair engineers tell us to do. Don't buy Ford products because they, Ford, do not stand behind their products.

Reliable truck and comfortable. It is sturdy and has many luxury features such as Siri's radio heated steering wheel. Heated seats are nice in the winter and cooled in summer heat. The leather seats are easy to adjust as well. The back is large enough for hauling and is capped for golf clubs or luggage when traveling. The top Keeps things dry. The ride is smooth too. Nice truck for travel. All in all it is a great truck but a step to access the back could be helpful for older people. It didn't have side mirror alerts for side passing car alert. I would also like lower gas mileage and a lower price.

We are pleased with the gas mileage and the ride. The seats are comfortable and there is plenty of room in both the front and back seats. It has a tonneau cover over the bed that keeps things really dry. The car cooled down quickly in the summer and heats up fast in winter. However, it has been a little high to get into so we have had to use a step stool sometimes for some passengers. But there are pull up handles on each side in the front so that also helps to get in. It has been a great truck so far.

I purchased a used model and still it has great power. I currently have 150000 miles and my truck is still strong and drives so smooth. I wouldn't be as happy if I had choose a different car. I love the spacious seats and the power going up hills and through the snow. It has been great and reliable. Better gas mileage and maybe more AWD options would be nice though especially with living in a state with lots of snow. It would just help it be a more reliable vehicle.

I just love the Mercury Mountaineer & Ford F150 Crew Cab. Both are dependable, easily managed. Seating is great. Easy to drive and park, both of the autos. Both are keep in the garage. Easy on long trips.

Lifelong Ford Owner - not happy - Just bought a Ford F-150, V8 Gas motor, Lariat, with 10-speed transmission. The transmission shifting is unsteady and causes the truck to lurch continuously. Also, the engine backfires from time to time. It has been in the shop at the dealer for nearly a week, but they can't find the problem. Technicians have driven it and confirm that my complaint is valid. They don't see anything on their computers, so they don't know what to fix. I foresee a Lemon Law complaint on the not-too-distant horizon. I traded a 2014 F-150 FX4 Lariat for this one. Now I wish I had my old truck back.

The 2017 F150 is by far the worst vehicle I’ve ever owned. The truck has a terrible vibration at 45 mph, I’ve had it in the shop 6 times now and all the mechanic can say is it’s normal. Unless the check engine light comes on they won’t work on it because they don’t get paid to troubleshoot anymore.

I love my Ford F-150 4x4 with eco boost. The F150 seems to be quickly becoming America’s family “car” and with good reason. It rides like a luxury Car, handles well, and provides all the functionality you need to haul things, transport people and pets and gets great gas mileage. There is reason there are more Fords trucks on the road today than any other vehicle. They are built Ford tough and a Ford truck owner can expect to get so much more mileage out of one than other vehicles. I plan to drive mine for the next 20 years.

My Ford F-150 Sport, XLT 4x4 is my 5th F-150. Only 1 had to go in for a window regulator. Each time I get a new one it's better than the last. I do have to say the prices on all vehicles are ridiculously too high. Personally I lease so my payment isn't the same or close to my mortgage payment.

I wish there was less chrome. I'm not really a fan of it and would rather the low gloss black look. I do however adore the not quite green, not quite blue paint!

You cannot beat the durability of a Ford. Tough and ready. With proper maintenance this vehicle will last a lifetime. The hauling capability is Amazing!

My Ford F-150 Limited's performance and looks are great. Fuel mileage is good as long as you don't push it, really good between 50 and 60 mph. No mechanical issues so far, only a broken bracket on the rear mount of the right running board and that occurred prior to me purchasing the truck used.

My Ford F-150 initially was a dynamite vehicle. My 3rd Ford truck. However there was a carbon monoxide leak and I didn't realize it until my 4th blackout driving that truck and it was totaled in an accident.

The Ford F-150 Triton has four doors and is dependable, comfortable and handles well. It is a little thirstier than I would like but that is the only problem I can find.

Ford F-150 2009 5.4 engine has $1500-$3000 cam phaser repair issue. NO RECALL and Ford knows about it. Mine happened at only 54,000 miles on the engine. Also transmission leak and other cam phaser oil related issues at 54,000 miles.

The Ford F-150 has lousy gas mileage. Sticker said 19 mpg. I never got better than 11-12. No help from Ford, I bought extended warranty and the gas cap broke right away. That wasn’t covered even though they broke on many trucks. Ford sucks.

I was involved in a car accident and I crashed into a pole going 35 miles an hour and the front axle rim tire and the center of the Ford F-150 2015 Limited was smashed in. No airbags deployed and the Seat belt didn’t hold me down. I fractured my arm in three different places, transported by paramedics from the scene to the hospital and ended up at UCLA medical, hospitalized for three days, and went through surgery. Two metal rods and 12 screws. Was in a cast for three months all because of Ford's safety features that didn’t provide **. By the way the truck was a total loss. It was only 30 days old on the road.

My Ford F-150 truck has been great with 20,000 mi. Love the suicide doors- can easily get things in back seat. 2.7 engine really flies and mileage ok (19) overall. Wish it didn't sit so high, hard to get in without running boards, lift heavy items into back of truck. (Old truck about 4 in. lower).

We bought the 09 Ford F-150. Within 12 month the transmission went out. Here we are 16 months later we have to have the transmission done again. From my research this is a common problem that Ford is aware of. 2,400 that I don't know where it can come from. Now the truck sits until I can afford to fix it but it still insured and I'm paying the note every month. Beautiful truck with ugly parts. We are scared to drive it. It's become unpredictable and dangerous. This truck was bought to replace my husband truck that was lost in a rollover fire where 97% of his body was burn. He's so disappointed.

The Ford F-150 is beautiful, outstanding power with great gas mileage, and there are so many bells and whistles that I've had problems with them. I am leasing. Overall a fair to good truck.

This model truck is a true work horse. This is our 3rd F-150. The 1st had 300,000 miles upon trade in and the 2nd shy of 200,000. This 1 will not make that mileage, but it has served us very well since 2014. We highly recommend this model. My husband would keep buying this model if we did not now have different needs.

I have a 2016 Ford F150 Limited with 23,000 miles on it. I have had repeated electrical problems with it. Apparently the gateway module gets shorted out and causes the running boards to stop working, the HVAC to stop, the power windows to stop, the air bag lights to come on and tire pressure sensors to freak out. Those are the items that I know don't work.

KT 31 Motorcraft... Ford parts are trash. Caused 400 dollars damage to alternator destroyed from. $125... KT 31 part leaking... Plus installation for all the damage. Done with Ford, over the end... Toyota.

Ford F-150 throttle body failure at 46000 miles is not an exception at this mileage and I see Ford has had many problems with this part and has covered this part on other models for replacement and extended warranty. However Ford doesn’t want to acknowledge the problem on the F150 and rather charge 500 dollars to its F150 customers. This problem is so similar the tow truck driver told me the problem on pick up.

Ford F-150 2012 Ecoboost - This must be the worst truck I have ever driven, everything was relatively ok until I had about 70,000 km. Where do I start. There was the violent shake in low gear. It felt like being rear-ended at 60 km /hour. My heart skipped a beat everytime it happened. Then the truck would stall and PCM would shut off, I wait and start again, went to the dealer where I bought it from. They tried to reprogram thé PCM module but ended it up replacing it with a new one under warranty.

2011 Ford F-150 3.5 EcoBoost at 40000 the rear axle went. Imlay City Ford repaired it under warranty. I didn't make it out of their lot and the check engine light came on. Took it back 2 weeks before warranty was up and it scanned a timing issue. Went back on last day of warranty and they had it 2 days and gave it back and said they found nothing wrong. At 54000 the timing chain went and bent valves. I had it towed to Imlay City Ford and they said $10,000 for a new engine.

I bought a new 2018 Ford F150 3.5 Ecoboost from Camelback Ford in Phoenix Arizona. I took it back less than a week owning it. It was idling rough but my salesman said it was normal. A week and a half after this the truck started running bad on the freeway and I had it towed to the dealership. They found that it melted a spark plug, a couple valves and lost compression in a cylinder. It had 1400 miles. I spoke with the dealer and Ford Motors to get out of the truck or to get a new truck and my final answer today from Ford was "you bought it"!!!

I've been a loyal Ford owner all my life, until now. I have an F150 with 25,000 miles. I had an oil leak to be repaired, I had an appointment on 01/10/2018, I didn't get the pickup back until 01/17, during which time I was responsible for a rental car. Is this acceptable? I think not! Then, I was on my way to a class in San Antonio on 01/25 about 07:45 on I10 (rush hour traffic), when the steering system warning flashed on the dash I herded the pickup off the interstate, the school was right at the exit so I stopped there. I called the dealership where I'd gotten the oil leak repaired, they gave me the numbers for a tow and Enterprise for a rental.

While driving this past Tuesday, I smelled and saw smoke coming from my vents. The dash lights all lit up. I pulled over to look under the hood but when I went for the latch, I saw flames. I stepped back and fire engulfed the front of the vehicle, then burned to the ground. This is a 2016 still under factory warranty. When I called Ford to report what happened, they had nothing to contribute as to why this happened. This vehicle was well cared for, oil changes every 3,000 - maintained. I'm looking for answers - why this happened and what, if anything, Ford will do. Yes, my insurance will pay my loan off, but at the end of the day, I pay higher premiums. Ford should be held accountable.

I have over 36,000 miles with a XLT with the 2.7 EcoBoost. This truck has been flawless!!! Love everything about the truck. I think I'll get the 3.0 power stroke next go around. I love that they switched to aluminum. Thank you Ford for building such a good truck! It's a 2016.

I’ve had Fords for as long as I can remember. Never had any problems with any of them. I put 300k miles on 1997 Taurus. I bought a leftover 2015 F-150 with the 5.0 and 4wd. Talk about junk! The doors drive me insane. It’s a Supercab and if I knew how much money I would have been spending every time they are out of alignment I would have bought a Supercrew. Brake lines needed to be replaced in the rear at 38k miles. Same mileage front caliper had to be replaced. Now I’m having a front end noise at 67k miles. Going to the shop tomorrow. My mom backed into me with her CRV and did no damage to her car but $1139 worth of damage to the F-150. I absolutely hate this truck. The seats are so uncomfortable. The windows are super slow going down and up. SYNC sucks, plain and simple. As soon as Toyota offers 0% financing this truck will be gone. I will never buy another Ford.

I have owned 6 Ford F-150 trucks. The trucks are well built with dependability and appearance in mind when designing. Excellent service at Pompano Ford Quick Lube. Very professional and honest accurate quotes.

Right at a year ago my wife and I purchased a 2010 Ford F150 XLT from Vic Bailey Ford in Spartanburg SC at a cost of $23,000. Less than a month later the rear end and transmission had to be rebuilt at a cost of $5100. Two months later the rear end went out again more money. Four months later rear end out a 3rd time. Now the transmission is going out again. Repairs costing so much I can't afford to pay the $480 a month payment. It's sad. I have been a Ford tough customer all my life but will never buy another and will tell everyone I talk to in daily life not to ever get one. Ford needs to step up and do something about this situation.

A single clunk occurs after slowing down and then accelerating. This happens all the time at intersections where you come to almost a complete stop then press the gas pedal to accelerate. Just as you let off the brake and tap the gas pedal, a single clunk sound is felt and heard. I have had the Ford F-150 to the Ford garage several times and they dismiss it as a normal characteristic of the Ford transmission. I have driven trucks all my life, including Fords, and have never felt this kind of slack in the drive-train, and then to have it called normal.

I also have a 2014 F150 4 x 4 XLT. 40,000 miles. My booster pump failed coming down the mountains with my family. Scary crap. There was a noise coming from the brake pedal that I had brought in the day before I went camping too. Ford found nothing. Then I had issues with coverage for my warranty when one Ford dealership didn’t replace a pin during the repair that required me to bring it to a local Ford dealership a couple days later because of a message on my dash. They squabbled over who was going to pick up the $600 bill. I surely didn’t, but they want me to. I became the mediator of the two dealerships. How ridiculous is that? They called this customer service?

I bought my 2007 F150 Lariat used at a Ford dealership (extremely rude people). It had 93000 mi on it, ran great for about 9 months maybe? Then the engine light came on bad intake manifold runner, then the famous ticking noise started. Very long story short I've replaced lifters, cam phasers VCT solenoids multiple times, alternator idle air control valve, rear pinion seal twice! Radio, window switches (still won't work!). Lower control arms, a/c compressor, steering rack, paint on both bumpers, rear axle is tweaked, more alignments than I can count, transmission overheated, wiring to the rear subwoofer is faulty, intake manifold runner again! Tension pulley, radiator, it's leaking power steering fluid and it's out of alignment again. I did the math. I've paid for this POS twice over just in repair costs. Its has 150000 mi on it now and I can’t sell it fast enough!... Oh and the entire engine when it blew up!!! Never ever ever again!!!

With only 94k miles, my engine threw a rod through the block? Even after a regular maintenance every 4 thousand miles for the last 6 years my engine blew itself up while going up a grade. Ford offered no explanation, just said those things happen. They wanted 10,500+tax to make repairs and only offered 2500.00 towards the repair cost? If I wanted to buy a new truck they offered me an x plan which was 200.00, yes 200.00 more off a new truck than anyone else would get. I have found that there is NO LOYALTY with the dealership or Ford Motor Corporation. Quality, not a chance. Will never buy another Ford product.

I was driving about 70 mph on the freeway when my Ford F150 Truck suddenly lost serious power with a hard misfire & warning lights lighting up on the dash. I Dropped it off Friendly Ford Las Vegas Service Department & they said a cylinder has lost compression for "Unknown Reasons"?? & said it would be $2800 to tear down the engine to see what is happening. I declined & took it to a small repair shop who opened the hood & "By Hand", lifted a "BURNT, MELTED, FRIED & DESTROYED SPARK PLUG" from the #3 cylinder. No threads or bottom of spark plug was left. He said Fords newer modular engines began spitting spark plugs in their 4.6L/5.8L engines in the 1990s.

I am a 100% Naval Disable Veteran with a power chair and leg braces. My wife and I are going through serious traumatic experience and trying to pick up the pieces after Hurricane Harvey ravished our home in Corpus Christi, Texas. Recently have had several compression shut downs on my 2012 F-150 Lariat as the Wrench signal light comes on. That has caused me to experience frightening serious near misses with other vehicles including commercial 18-wheelers on the highways.

F-150 is a great truck. I rated Ford because I have a 1998 one of the last great F-150's out there, not even 100,000 mi and she still runs like new. However, models 99 to present reviews show horrible problems mostly due to mass production ie 2015 to present and poor service. Prices continue to climb, paying more for a vehicle than your mortgage is pretty stupid. I look for Ford to price itself right out the door, price for transportation today is going to affect all manufactures in the very near future, sad to say.

The front driver seat broke and dropped 8 inches in an instant! There's a small bolt that attaches the rod that makes it tilt forward and tilt back that came out. My wife wasn't driving thank God, because she couldn't see over the dash. Eyes were level with Speedo and Tach and would have CRASHED if she were driving, but it broke as soon as she started adjusting the seat position! The seat when operating correctly could not go as low as it did when it broke! Someone is going to get hurt. I repaired the seat myself. I just had to bolt it back together and put a tack weld on the back side where the bolt attaches. The bolt was so small all it has is 4 threads that measured about 4mm long. VERY DANGEROUS!!!

I LOVE MY TRUCK!!! It currently has 385,787 miles on its original engine. The only problem that I have with Big Red (truck) is that the window motors keep going out. I won't give it up until it falls apart. I LOVE MY 2005 FORD F150.

This is our 4th New Ford F150 and everyone has been excellent from performance to looks. They have great safety features and are always reliable. If there is a warranty issue (rare like one total on all the pickups) they are quick to fix and do it right. We love our Fords. We also have a Taurus which is just as good!

Owning a Ford truck FI50 has been a very bad experience. I have had to replace three transmissions since I owned it. It is currently leaking 2 1/2 gallons of oil a day and I have received no advice or help from them. This truck has been nothing but trouble for my company.

In December I purchased a 2016 F 150 2.7 EcoBoost, I had traded a 2014 F 150 that was a good truck, just didn't have all that I wanted. At 10,000 my nightmare begin. The truck would cut off at stop signs and red lights which it's designed to do, however, when I let off the brake it wouldn't start back up. I had to physically start it. I took a picture of the display to show dealer. This wasn't the only problem then it started making a rattling noise on a cold crank. Of course the dealer was awe struck and didn't have a clue. (big lie) The dealer talked in riddles. Anyway after 2 days shy of three weeks they tell me Ford wants to install new headers. New headers on a new vehicle. Ridiculous, should be new engine. Still fighting with them.

I have owned many Ford cars and trucks over the years, right now is a 2013 Focus se, transmission issues big time. I put 30,000 miles on this car, trade in value 6,000, driving it off the lot 23,700. I have always wanted to buy American but this is just too much. I had a 1981 Ford f-150 that got 20 miles per gallon 36 years later, no improvements. With all their knowledge they can't improve MPG in 37 years?

F150 5.4 Triton engine blew spark plugs, ate coil packs and devoured fuel injectors. I will NEVER own another POS Ford. From now on it's Chevrolet trucks for me. The worst part - FORD NEVER LISTENS TO THE ONES WHO SUPPORT THEIR COMPANY AND THEIR DEALERS ARE JUST PLAIN RUDE. Solution to the problem - never buy a Ford.

I was driving my 2016 Ford F-150 with 5500 miles on it up a hill and going about 70 MPH and the motor shut off then restarted by itself. This has happened 3 times in a week so I took it to the dealer and they ran a ton of tests and determined that the truck needed a new engine. Ford tells me they have never heard of this issue before. Talk about dangerous!!! Thankfully there wasn't a vehicle behind us or this would have been a completely different story. Hopefully this fixes the problem but I will have a very hard time trusting this truck after this. I will say that Ford and the dealership have been great so far and it is the first big issue I have ever had with a Ford truck.

F150 Aluminum Head Spark Plug — I have owned a 99 F150 5.4 liter since 2003. Only problem I have had is the infamous spark plug that blows out of the head. Orielly's Auto Parts and probably others have a fix for this or you can take it to a shop for a fairly inexpensive fix. Cost me 250 to get it fixed and have not had a problem since. I change my oil with Royal Purple Synthetic religiously. Tomorrow I am purchasing a Ford F150 XLT 4x4 with the 5.0. I hope I have as good luck with this one as I did with the other. You take care of your machine and your machine will take care of you.

I purchased brand new 2017 F-150 3 months ago. Went to do my first oil change and found barely any oil in engine. Brought to Capital Ford Service Dept. in Raleigh, NC and was told oil pan was never installed properly at factory and had been leaking. They replaced oil pan and all was good. I have been driving the truck for 2 weeks since service was done and I have been smelling oil burning ever since. I assumed it was residual from the service work.

Trent ** bought a beautiful truck 2012 Ford F-150 silver loaded... to the gills. He's thinking of LONG term with this truck. It had the V-6 Ecoboost 3.5 liter motor. Trent was very proud of his new truck that was his first purchase from a Cross Chrysler in Louisville. Truck had 62,000 miles on it. Anyway, Trent drives off the lot a proud owner. This was in October 2016. Truck seemed solid... and I use the word seemed very lightly. Sunday Trent and Lindsey Nicole ** were driving to our house. Trent called me and said he was sitting on side of the road. Long story short... BLOWED MOTOR. TRUCK now has 68,000 miles on it. Yes that's 6000 miles on the truck since Trent had bought it.

In November 2002, I bought a brand new 2003 F-150 with 17 miles on it. It now has over 276,000 miles and is still going strong. The only repairs beyond the usual replacement of brakes, tires, fluids... was the 4th gear in the tranny and the pinion seal. It's only on its 2nd clutch, has no leaks, starts right up, doesn't burn/use oil, rides smoothly and still gets 18/22 fuel mileage. There's very mild surface rust (I live the Northern part of the country where salting/sanding is common during the winter). The only problem I have had was when the passenger side seat belt locked up when someone would strap it on and wouldn't "let go" until the belt was released. This was at 55,000 miles and Ford said it was out of warranty at 50,000 miles. It'll be $400 to replace that seat belt.

I bought a 2013 F-150 EcoBoost new, and from the start it was riddled with problems. It would go into limp mode often like all of them do, but the worst part was the battery kept going dead randomly, once every few months. Ford made a poor effort to troubleshoot and finally said they couldn't do anything. I traded it at another dealer for a used 2013 F-150, thinking I only had a lemon. This truck was OK for about 6 months, then it started developing squeaks, exhaust manifold leaks, and climate control problems. Then at 62,000 miles, just out of powertrain warranty, the timing chain began making terrible noises upon startup. Called Ford and they said "Too bad." No more Fords for me, my new Tundra is on the way.

I have a 2003 Ford F-150 pickup. The spark plug blew out of the engine while I was driving on the freeway at 70 miles per hour. I had my truck towed to a mechanic garage, and was told this is a common but expensive repair. Upon further review online, I found there to be hundreds of reports of this problem. Ford has done nothing to take care of this serious and dangerous problem. I read if there is to be a recall it would be the largest ever. Ford needs to take care of this.

I own a Ford F150 with brake problems. The rotors became warped causing the truck to shake when the brakes are applied. I took it to the dealer while it was still in warranty and they ground the rotors. As soon as the warranty expired at 36000 miles the rotors warped again. The dealership will not fix them. And Ford's customer service told me it was the dealer's problem. I have done some research and what I have learned is that the rotors, once ground are even more susceptible to warping because they are thinner. What I do not know but suspect is that the rotors are simply under designed for the weight of the vehicle.

My 2015 F150 XLT has 41,000 miles on it and the paint is falling off. It's bubbling, cracking and just falling off. I took it into Ford and they said the truck was out of warranty and "SORRY". Wouldn't you expect a Ford factory paint job to last more than 2 years? I paid $44,000.00 for this truck and I will never buy another F150. Even the dealership said the paint job was defective. You would think Ford would stand behind their product.

2007 Ford F150 = Very bad engine design. Sparkplug very difficult to replace. No shop want to do it except Ford dealer and Ford dealer charge over $1500 just to change the spark plug. Engine fuel injection going bad. Engine head gasket blow up. Bad coil and Boot. Bad transmission = Sometimes just stuck in park won't move, very noisy gear, bad gear shift. And the worst is Ford Customer relation and Ford corporate will not do anything about it. Just don't buy Ford vehicle.

Motor noise on startup! Dealer, took apart inspected, said would not be cover under warranty due to oil sludge. Oil was always changed by their computer just like the owners manual tell you too. This is a big problem with Ford. They look in the oil filler cap and can tell you no!! ESP is crap. Ford knows turbo's make sludge "all turbo's" do... So 500 bucks later I get it back and now 2 blocks away from dealer engine light comes on so I take back and say that everything is hook up the motors just bad from the oil!! So I took for a second option. They found sensor unplugged. They had gotten it under the valve cover and the cam cut and shorted the wires. This cause the phaser to have wrong valve timing!! Blown head gasket and valves tapped top of piston. There was sludge but bearings were perfect so oil was working. The timing chains are weak that's why Ford has a TSB on them and Phasers! 1st ecoboost = S O L.

I just bought my son a used F-150 with fairly low miles for a pickup, 120,000. Within 3 weeks of purchase from a private seller, the rear spark plug blew. The mechanic "tried" fixing it with a sleeve and Loctite. Waited overnight to set, took out to test drive, and it blew again. The sleeve and Loctite did not hold. It blew within 2 blocks. Looking online after this experience, thousands of others are having to deal with this. Will there ever be a recall? Just bought this truck... out thousands for purchase and out $$$ for repairs that are not holding. Now my son has 2 inoperable vehicles. The one that originally died and the newer purchase to replace the one that died. Still has NO car to go to work. It would not be so bad if this was a permanent solution and not a reoccurring nightmare.

Would never buy another Ford again. First and last. More problems than I can even list. Not to mention it's a 2012 3 sets of brake pads, Ford forgot when it added a larger heavier engine to fix the braking system so the truck eats pads. I have had the transmission replaced. The automatic running boards work when they want to. The driver side window freezes up. Numerous trips to the dealer to replace parts -- of course with deductible out of pocket. I am as disgusted as a person can get. I'll never get half of what I paid for this POS in a trade in.

Purchased brand new Ford F150 for just under $50,000 and had nothing but problems with it. BOB BELL FORD made me fight for every problem to get it fixed, damaged my truck twice in the last two visits, repaired the ding they put in my door first time, but this last visit, chipped the edge of my door, got mad at me for asking that it be fixed, agreed to fix it, but when I wouldn't accept their appointment to fix it, because they didn't line up a vehicle for me to use for the day with my paid extended warranty which includes this service, they told me I was no longer welcome at the dealership. Nice, Huh... I had also left them a poor survey for their poor service weeks prior because of all the problems with this truck and the struggle to get them to honor their warranty and I have read from a number of other Ford Vehicle Buyers that left complaints with Ford, that they were treated the same way, told that they were no longer welcome at the dealership any longer.

Well I haven't driven my truck for 2 days and at about 5:30 in the morning I heard a boom and didn't think much of it until my neighbor comes knocking on my door and informs me that my truck had caught on fire. When I went outside it was in total flames around the engine and the cab. I was trying to use my water hose until the fire department got there but it was still a total loss. I have no idea about these recalls until I Googled it after the fire department left. Hopefully I can work something out about the situation.

Bought a brand new F-350. Just out of warranty at a year old and 66k miles - It needs a transmission, coil packs, and a power steering pump. I have to park it for months to come up with 5 grand to fix this terrible vehicle.

I live in Minnesota. I cannot use my driver's side door when the temperature dips below 20 degrees - which is almost 3-4 months of the year. I brought my $40,0000 truck in for service & the guy sprays wd-40 on the door. I came back the next day and told him that I needed help. They found out that there is a seal inside the door that has failed. No problem! It is under warranty. BUT - no problem - the parts are on backorder until April. Apparently a few other 2015 F-150 owners are having the same issue (just a guess). So, I can use my truck, but I just have to climb over to the passenger side to get in & out. The Ford service guy said that the doors aren't designed for cold weather! If I had known that I would never have purchased this brand new pickup last year. Very sorry and very disappointed.

I pulled my 2016 Ford F-150 out of the garage and was inputting an address into the GPS when we heard my rear window blow up. I had thought we got shot or something came crashing down on the truck. I got out and saw nothing but my rear window was completely shattered. The only thing we think it could have been was the window shorted out. It's still at the dealer to replace the window and hopefully figure out the cause.

I bought this very expensive truck, 2014 STX F150 from Ford Cutter Aiea Hawaii. I had the truck for 2 years now and the miles still low, 37,500. So here I thought I would not see rust maybe for another 5 years. I was very wrong. Rusted spot are shown on the front roof corner, driver side. I have not call the deal about it but I will. I hope they can help me fix it. If they can't then, my love for Ford will go to another vehicle. Yeah... Build tough... NOT. I hope they can back up that motor with taking care of their customers. I remembered the car sales guy telling me that it was the best truck because it was made in America. Not so proud. Not the best.

Have this 1997 Ford F150 V8 with only 287,000 miles but the odometer stopped working years ago. My main issue with Ford is the heater core hoses quick release that leak and Ford dealers want to replace heater cores for $800.00 when it's a $7.00 part and those stupid vacuum sensors, and Speedo sensors, and cat sensors, and battery cable ends, and what is it with your "pink plastic gears" for tranny sensors? The cassette eats tapes when ditch hopping and radio has too many commercials. All this smog crap. I cannot even get over 100 mph down logging roads.

I have a broken shock mount on my truck. I cannot change the shock until this replaced or welded. I found someone to weld it, but the fix is just to put a washer in between. He said that he has done welding on other F-150 shock mounts. Anyone else having this problem? I am looking for a certified welder, so I can replace my shock. I replaced my other shock.

We bought our F150 brand new in 2006. It was garage kept and has low miles (currently 105,000). In the past 2 yrs it has became a huge headache and rust mobile. Once the rust starts it's over. Any owner of 2004 to 2008 models knows the rust problems, from the cab corners (mostly on the crew cabs) to the fenders on the rear. Since ours have ate out we have found what looks to be foam in them. Bad Ford company, anybody with a brain knows foam holds moisture and contaminants to eat away at the metal from the inside out. This is not to mention that we have put over $1,000 in repairs this year alone. Started with the faulty 2 piece spark plug that cost 600 to replace because 6 of the 8 broke in the engine.

I have had WAY too many issues with this Truck. It is a 2013 F-150 Platinum Truck. I bought it new... Since purchase I have had it in multiple times to dealers in both Kansas and Arkansas. Recently the Check Engine light comes on, the dealer "THINKS" it may be the Turbo Charger and now I get the dreaded Yellow Wrench. Ford has no way of capturing the codes unless is happens to them at the dealership. What a complete scam... Ford doesn't have to warranty anything because the codes never get saved. You cannot get the truck to them if the Wrench is showing, so you have to restart the Truck... Which clears the codes.

I had purchased a 2010 F150 Supercrew from my local dealership in 2014 with 18 thousand mile on it, I mainly needed it to tow my rv and boat in the summer months. I had it completely rustproofed right away and I have kept the undercarriage very clean from the little salt exposure that it got. I was under my truck recently and found the rocker panels totally rusted. I felt compelled to find the cause because I am only up to 28 thousand and it should never had rusted like this. Being an industrial mechanic I checked all the reasons that made sense, roof, window, and antenna leaks but when I found the rocker panels dripping every time it rains I found something completely unbelievable, the water draining from the front window and hood is channeled into the inside of the front fender body panels and drains into the rocker panels, my God a first year engineering student could figure out what a terrible idea this is.

It seems that the passenger side exhaust manifold on just about all 4.6 and 5.4 engines must leak at some time! I found 2 of the bolts on the rear that have broken off just inside the exhaust manifold. Checked the Ford forum. Seems everyone has this happen to them. Broken bolts either before or during replacement of the cracked manifold issue. Why couldn't they use better components. The rest of the exhaust bolts are rusted so bad they barely resemble bolts and nuts. Just a shame that planned obsolescence can be found in some many American made products.

Bought a new 2016 F150 2 weeks ago. A week after taking it home the stereo and all associated controls randomly quit working. Screen goes blank. No sound. If I turn off my truck and wait 30 minutes or so it will work again as it should. Took it to the dealership and they have no idea what the problem is. I call Ford and they said take it to the dealership. I'm afraid this truck will become a lemon. Too bad because I really liked my truck. Maybe I would keep it if Ford either pays for an aftermarket head unit and control module. This is the second Ford I've owned that within 500 miles had problems. I'm not very happy.

I leased a 2013 Ford F150 in March of 2013. Within 6 months of driving it (on my way to a Florida vacation), I got about 20 miles from home and when I applied the brakes to exit the highway, the steering wheel almost shook out of my hands. I had to pull into a Ford dealership to see what was the problem and they told me it was "ok" to drive. They blamed the shimmy on the local oil and lube joint that I took it to before I left for an oil change and tire rotation. They said the wheels were torqued too tightly and when I got back from vacation to take it back there. I did just that. The mechanic that worked on it showed me the required setting and then showed it to me on the truck.

2015 Ford F150 Lariat - The reason for my post is to see if anyone else had a similar problem. After reading other reviews, I see that there have been others (although according to Ford, this is an isolated incident!!). Multiple times my truck has stopped running on the highway without warning, putting myself and others in danger. After pulling over, restart is simple and it runs like nothing ever happened, until next time. Have had truck to dealer several times, even left it there for a two-week period and received it back with problems not solved and a "flight recorder" installed. They have installed this so we can duplicate the problem even though the error codes and data has already been recorded. We know it's happening and all is documented but they still feel it's OK to ask someone to get behind the wheel of a vehicle which we knowingly shuts down at random.

Just bought the truck in Feb 2016. 2015 Ford F150 V8 5.0 4x4. Well it only had about 240 miles when purchased. About a month later it would not start, had to take it in to a local Ford dealership for them to fix. About a week later I get my truck back. They said it was rodent or mice chewing up wires. So of course I was mad at the mice. Who wouldn't so went online to do some research on how to get ride off these frigging things. The day after I just brought from being repaired still won't start. Had tow it in, they said it was the same thing. Even more pissed 3 weeks later I get my truck back. About a week later check engine light comes up, took to Auto Zone check what codes. Intake manifold was giving the error the day after I went to Auto Zone. Truck would not start, took it to a different dealership and they could not figure what was going on.

Loaded up for vacation and truck didn't even make it 100 yards away from home when the dash lit up with hill start assist fault. Truck surged and vibrated its way to a stop. I thought I had accidentally hit the button on the top center console, so I restarted the vehicle, and everything was fine. Made it about 5 mi down the road and it happened again. Turned around and unloaded/loaded in wife's Escape and took that instead.

I have owned Ford trucks since I was old enough to drive and have always been satisfied until now. I bought a 2010 f150 4x4 with a 5.4. It was a used truck with 60000 miles. I changed the oil regular at 3000 miles. When it had 26000 miles the engine blows. 7500.00 dollars to get it fixed. I looked on internet and this seems to be a common thing. What is Ford doing about this?

My 2006 Triton engine, F-150 4X4, 4-door truck, with 87,000 miles started shifting crazy and no power. I took it into a local mechanic shop to have the oil changed (as I do every 3,000 miles) and ask if the spark plugs might be causing the problem. The owner of the shop said Ford F-150s were bad about plugs breaking off or blowing out, and hoped my truck didn't have a problem. I ask him to go ahead and replace the plugs. Well, it did have problems! 4 out of the 8 plugs broke off. It took over 3 hours to get the broken plugs out. I searched the internet after I got home and found that Ford does have a huge problem with the plugs.

I have owned my vehicle for 2 years. Before I purchased it, it was a company vehicle and they provided all of the service records for the vehicle. Unfortunately, the truck is only 9 years old and the transmission has malfunctioned. My mechanic says the computer system that feeds info to the transmission caused my transmission to go and now that I have paid to replace it with a new transmission, the computer system is doing the same thing. I feel that a transmission should not malfunction on a 9-year old vehicle. Once it has been repaired, I'm getting rid of it. Money lost!!!

I have been leasing Fords for over 20 years. I leased a new 2016 F-150 in April of this year, and it has been horrible ever since. The dashboard and console screens and buttons stop working and turn off completely (three different times), the Ecoboost Turbo valve failed (and could have fried the entire turbo system if I hadn't refrained from driving on the highway -- per a blog I read; not through any help from Ford), and the right front tire went down on the second day (it wasn't sealed completely according to the neighborhood tire shop that had to re-seal it when I pulled in on a flat).

I purchased the truck new and was completely satisfied with it until after 2 yrs the vacuum boost went kaput and I was very fortunate that I was driving in a subdivision and only going about 25. The brakes failed completely and the power steering also failed. Had I been on a highway or main street someone could have been seriously injured because without power the truck is virtually impossible to control. Also during the second year one of the running boards cracked and when I brought it to the dealer they gave me the 3rd degree before eventually replacing it. The running boards are made from cheap plastic.

The radiator of the air cond. in and under dash PLUGS condensates and collects dirt and debris and no way to clean. In October of 2015 took my truck F150 2010 to Oroville Ford. From day one was told by service manager would not work on removing Dash to repair SO THE BATTLE BEGINS. Picked up truck charged air a few days later not cooling leaked out so returned and replaced a schrader valve (a valve steam where it's filled) made a big deal about changing it. Had to be soldered in according to service writer. Again not cooling - returned same day made appt. to take back in. Mechanic added dye to see where was leaking. Drove this way for awhile. Winter no air went to use and just blew hot air. Returned and YELLOW slime had dried on steam where schrader valve had been replaced.

We have owned several Fords. The 2015 f150 has been nothing but problems for us. The brakes suck, the Bluetooth doesn't ever want to work, the transmission lurches and grinds, I have a symphony of ticking noises in the engine, the seats are hard, useless headlights unless you use the high beams. We had a 2010 f150 no problems. 2014 f150 no problems. 2015 f150 nope, absolutely hate it. Ford definitely dropped the ball with this truck. Now the service department says "oh we haven't heard of any of these problems so it should be fine." I'm ready to use it for target practice.

Earlier this month I left my housing complex in my 2015 F-150 Lariat V6 Ecoboost. Within three minutes I was driving uphill and pressed the accelerator somewhat firmly to merge into the left lane and proceed uphill. That's when the engine shut off, multiple error codes flashed across my dash. (This is the second time the engine simply died while driving.) The road had no shoulder, but I tried to move to the right lane to avoid the fastly approaching traffic behind me. As soon as I turned my steering wheel to move to the other lane my power steering was gone and my vehicle hit the guardrail. I brought the vehicle to a complete stop, called my neighbor and the Leif Johnson Ford dealership to let them know. I tried to restart it while the error codes were still present and nothing happened. Then I shut everything down to reset the system and it restarted like nothing happened.

I want to share a scary thing that just happens to me. I completely lost my brakes in my 2014 F150. Pedal went all the way to the floor. It left me stranded and could have killed/injured me or someone else had I been traveling at highway speeds during this failure. After it happened I googled "Ford brake issues" and discovered that this is under investigation but no recall. It is the Eco boost engine only to my knowledge so if you have this vehicle BEWARE. It happened out of the blue. Thank God nobody was hurt.

My husband purchased a brand new 2016 Ford F-150 LXT March 6, 2016, on April 23, 2016 the F150 shut completely off while my husband was driving. He immediately put the truck in park and cut the truck back on. Once he turned it on the F150 idled really high and loud and shut back off. My husband had the truck towed back to where we purchased the F150, which is Ganley Ford West in Cleveland, Ohio. After the service department looked at the vehicle to determined the issue, we were told the Throttle Body had went out on the truck. Frank the service guy at Ganley Ford West informed my husband and I that after trying to order another throttle body the part is on backorder and it will be 1 1/2 to 2 weeks before we would have our truck back. Frank also shared with us that he has 4 other vehicles that has the same issue that and the manufacturer has had defects with the throttle bodies.

This vehicle is a mess to drive, sensors everywhere and you have to always take your eyes off the road to do anything. The Bluetooth sucks for connecting the phone and even worst for calling people, the sensors seem to have to set every time I push that junky button. He shuts off at red lights and gets blown all over the road because of the body (lightweight). I think the design is geared to screw the customer and don't see me buying another Ford after this one. Also too high priced.

I have a 07 Ford F-150. It started to shake when idled and the check engine light came on and I took to local mechanic. Mechanic looked at truck and said the computer says it is a camshaft sensor problem but the problem is the assembly of the camshaft and the VVT. This is a manufacturing defect and to take it to the Ford dealer. The mechanic also said there was a current class action suit regarding these issues and I need to have a serious talk with dealership. I looked on the web page and there was a vast number of complaints similar to mine. It also indicated that FORD knew about the problem from 2008 to 2012 and did nothing to remedy the problem.

Yeah I love Ford trucks but the next month of having the car my front fender fell off and my tire went bad and it's a little rusty.

There is an overpowering smell of exhaust (smells like natural gas) in interior of my husband's truck. It has been there since he bought it new last summer. He has taken it in numerous times and no one can fix it (Some say they cannot smell it!). It occurs when we come to a stop and when we turn. Pretty bad for such an expensive truck.

This vehicle is very nice to look at. I have a problem with the hard seats, the tight cup holders, the small fuel tank and fluttering outside mirrors. I traded it off Saturday as I could not tolerate the above defects in a $63,000 vehicle. I have at least 12 Fords in my possession. They are all very satisfactory except this one. I have Fusions, Expedition, older f150s, f 350s, a Shelby cobra. I think the engineers screwed up on this design.

I have a 2004 Heritage F-150 4.6L. Just blew a plug on #7 cylinder. Ford dealer says it's a $900 repair. I found out that I'm among thousands that this has happened to. Evidently it could happen again and again. I'm ready to get rid of this truck before it happens again. Ford needs to own up to this.

My grandfather owns (owned) a 2001 Ford F-150 crew cab. The truck had barely 90k on it and had been in the family for 10+ years. Most reliable truck you could've asked for, especially being a Ford (yes I own a GMC). Today, he had driven it to a local hardware store about a 10 mile round trip. He gets home and within 45 mins, the damn truck is indulged in flames on the entire front end. Keep in mind this man drives at a turtle's pace so I know his driving had nothing to do with this. The fire department luckily arrived in time before a tree went missing as well. Overly confused, I begin to dig in on what would cause this nightmare.

I bought a 2009 F150 with a 5.4L engine. My truck has only 57k on it. I bought it with 52k. Within 1000 miles of buying this truck the engine started making noise. THIS IS A KNOWN issue by Ford, the oil pressure and cam phases are a bad design by Ford. Now the engine has blown from bad design. I'm not the only one. It is a known problem that Ford knows.

I had both my F-150 and my F-250 lose brakes after the master cylinder and brake booster went with no warning. I called NHTSA and filed complaints for both. My 250 failed on the parkway while pulling a trailer. I limped home after almost crashing into a concrete truck, which I was going to hit to stop me. I got it home and it rolled out of my driveway causing severe damage to my truck bed and a double jet ski trailer. I had to file a claim with insurance over the matter as Ford told me to go screw, in their bs corporate, "We don't care you almost got into an accident", politically correct, legal department, deny deny deny, ** way.

2013 Ford F 150 Fire Claim. Negligence on the part of Ford Motor Company will cost me thousands of dollars. I began having problems with the cabin blower motor (for heating & cooling) approximately six months after I purchased a new 2013 Ford F150 truck. When I took the truck in for service I complained about the fan and they said they could not duplicate it, so no corrective repairs were made. I had the same complaint again in the summer of 2014. I decided to purchase an extended warranty up to 100,000 miles because I had been experiencing other difficulties with the electronics on my truck. I purchased the best warranty to ensure the electrical components would be covered. I took the truck into the dealer again on 10.11.2015 and they were able to duplicate the problem. I left the truck for the 36,000-mile servicing and the blower switch repair.

I have a 2013 F150. In the first 3 months of ownership it was in the shop 7 times. The 4wd was clunking, they started changing parts. Not only did the clunk persist but now I had a hum and a clunk. Turns out they installed a bad hub actuator. After much hardship, lost time from work they finally figured out that due to the mass production none of the drivetrain bolts were properly torqued. This caused the front diff to move too much during 4wd operation creating the clunk. All the u bolts, tranny bolts and so on were in effect loose. They might be the best selling truck this also means that they are the most mass produced. My current problem is the parasitic drain draining my battery overnight. Their solution buy a booster pack. Last Ford I'll ever own. Work too hard to pay for junk. By the way has anyone seen what aluminum looks like after a few Canadian winters especially with steel fasteners?

We bought a brand new 2007 f-150. I love the smooth ride. I love driving it better than our 2007 range rover sport. The current mileage is over 160k. We have had some repairs, i.e, ac compressor which my nephew installed costing approx. 500.00; replaced a broken belt that impacted the steering (Sorry I forgot what it is called but I paid less than 30.00 for the part and my son-in-law installed it.). My husband keeps up with the oil changes. It drives just as good today as it did when we first bought it. I've been told with proper maintenance it can get close to 300k miles. Halfway there!

I ordered a couple small trim pieces for the interior of my '04 f150. The process of finding and selecting the parts went very well. They had exploded views of assemblies with part numbers. Just perfect. Someone worked hard on this. I selected my parts, paid for them, and printed my receipt. Now is where things go downhill fast. After a week, 5 business days, my order was still listed as "in process". These parts were listed as being available at the dealership in their parts department, so why the delay?

I currently own a 2000 Ford F150 4X4 Lariat Pickup. I bought this truck in August 1999 with 27 miles on the odometer. I've had my issues with this truck, head gasket, leaking transmission, bad coils, odometer not working all the time. I've really kept this truck up. It's a really beautiful vehicle. Paint near perfect, original exhaust, great running engine and drivetrain. I previously owned a 1989 Chevy K2500, with 68,000 miles. It had its problems too.

I have a 1999 F150 Lariat with 91K miles. 4 years ago I had to replace the transmission at 78K. It came with a 36 month warranty. At 85K the truck went into dealership again to replace transmission cooler assembly. Last week the transmission blew and leaked transmission fluid all over the road. Took back to dealer expecting Ford to stand by this transmission considering there was only 13,000 miles on a brand new transmission. Instead Ford stood by their contractual 36 month warranty.

I bought a Ford F-150 XLT 5.4 Triton from a dealership. The same day after leaving the dealership, I heard Engine noise. I at that time I called the Dealer. He inform me at that time to drive the truck for a while because the truck had not been driven for some time and it was raining and it could be causing the problem. I called back again and left a Voice Mail. The sales Manager returned my call, stated that all the Ford F-150 in that Model make that noise, to put Heavy Duty LUCAS motor oil in engine and you such be all right. Why did they sell this vehicle knowing that it had problems?

2015 FX4 - I took my truck to the place I normally get my oil changed for its First oil change. They pointed out to me a dripping rear main seal. The truck has 4,795 total miles. I depend on this truck for my job. The dealership near where I work wants me to leave the truck with them for an extended period of time. This is my third F-150, and first with major problem out of the blocks.

Do not buy a new Ford ever. I recently replaced the radiator, hoses, water pump, alternator, and fan clutch on my 08 f150. After working on the truck I have come to the conclusion that Ford no longer thinks about its consumers or its technicians. Any company that would design an engine that difficult to simply maintain clearly could not care less about who has to do the work. I have owned Fords all my life and will never buy another one. It makes me sick that I paid for this piece of garbage. I will not make the same mistake again.

I have an 08 F-150 that is on its 4th transmission. I typically drive mostly highway miles without a load, and cannot understand why I keep having these issues. My last Ford treated me well. It carried me 400,000 plus miles with only tune-ups and oil changes. My current truck is now on its 4th transmission, had to re-thread head so spark plug would not back out, had to replace cracked intake manifold, heater core, and the list goes on. As much as I hate to say it, my next truck will be foreign made. I can't count on Ford.

4/6/15 ordered 2015 F150 4x4 extended cab 8' box 3.5 EcoBoost. Traded in 2008 F350 4x4 extended cab 8' box. Told delivery should be 6-8 weeks. We were really looking forward to the new aluminum body and the Eco Boost engine. We checked with dealer May 27, July 7, and Aug 3. Dealer said Ford was having some problems with that particular model and we probably wouldn't be getting a 2015 but Ford would give a rebate of $2000 to 2500 towards a new 2016. We checked on Sept 29, was told they could not order the 2016 yet and that the rebate offered expired Aug 31.

Purchased a 2001 F-150 a couple of months ago. Bought it from a gentleman who had parked the vehicle at a main cross street junction or highway intersection. Looked clean, started right up. When I went to check it out a second time, I noticed that the engine was warmed up as the oil dip stick was splattered with oil. I commented about that, but the gentleman said nothing. Drove the F-150 to Corpus Christi, TX. to start a new job. Parked it then later drove to downtown Corpus Christi, parked it a while, tried to start it and theft light flashing and truck won't start. Repeatedly, since this F-150 has gotten worse. I've spent so much on parts that I'm broke. This gentleman, Mr. ** of Horseshoe Bay is probably laughing his head off about the Lemon of a Ford he just sold me for 6,600 dollars. Lost my job because of the problematic Ford.

The sunroof on my 2015 Ford F150 shattered while I was washing my truck and Ford refused to warranty it. I was told I was on my own. It is a cheap manufactured product. Stay away from Ford and their products.

2010 F150 5.4L Supercrew stalling / problems starting. 1st occurrence, Aug. 2015 morning while in driveway truck took approx. 10 attempts to start enough for neighbors to offer help. 2nd occurrence, 11pm while on highway en route to hospital for emergency call-in, truck stalled (gas pedal non-functional, all interior lights okay) @65mph. As I was changing 4 lanes to pull to side of rd, spontaneous function of gas pedal resumed with wrench icon now illuminated. Continued on to work without stopping and while praying to God. Then home afterwards (no wrench icon.)

All indications of plugs breaking. There was no mentioning of this when I was buying this problem. With something as simple as replacing plugs, there should be something that the manufacturer do to help consumers pay this rip-off amount for something any owner should be able to do.

2007 F150 King Ranch super crew - It is the worst truck I have ever bought. Because of this truck I am ruined. I bought my ford last year. I started having a knocking noise in the motor. Took it back to the dealer were I bought it. That dealer took my truck to the Ford dealership to see if they could fix the problem. When I got it back the dealer said they could not hear any noise but they had changed the oil pump and some other parts that could have been the problem. I got the truck back. After driving a block from the Ford dealership it started knocking real bad worst than before. So I took it back.

I purchased a brand new Ford F150 Lariat fully equipped. It has a noise issue in the drive train since brand new and the dealer is unable to diagnose the problem. I took delivery of the $51,150 vehicle on April 23, 2014. By July it was determined that the dealer cannot resolve the problem. I opened a case with Ford customer relations on 7/22/15 and was told that a customer service rep would contact me by 8pm of the following day. It is now 8/26/15 and I have yet to hear from the representative. I have left 11 messages without a single reply. I have been without my new vehicle for more than 20 days. Don't buy a Ford. They truly don't care!

In May, my 2003 F-150 went through lightning electrical field and caused electrical issues. Truck has been repaired except for the gem module and Ford has none in stock and don't know when more will be made. My truck is sitting at a repair shop since May, forcing me to purchase another vehicle.

This is my 6th Ford F150 Truck. I loved my first five trucks, and the last four of them were Platinums. I paid greater than $50,000 and am embarrassed to drive this truck due to the terrible engine noise that sounds like a jet engine. I am a professional in Medicine, and will not drive anyone in my brand new truck (6 mos) due to my heightened embarrassment. Ford dealership in Purcell, OK says "it is supposed to do this, it's the new design". What it is, is ridiculous! My truck is 6 months old and I'm planning on trading it in on a Tundra at the very least if no resolution takes place -- That is sad, sad, sad! Ford, you should be ashamed. I will not maintain a stance of silence on this! Ford should either replace the trucks (again over $50,000 price) that people are so unhappy with -- or come up with some solution to fix it.

I owned a 2004 f-150 XLT with a 5.4. I love this truck - it was a beast with 4 wheels. Only being a 2 wheel drive, this truck was the best truck I ever had. I got 276500 miles before it just started having too many issues at once. I now have a 2015 f-150 and love it. Even my kids drive Ford truck because of how while they have held up to Chevy's or Dodges. We buy trucks for work. With my 2004, the 5.4 was known to throw a spark plug. Mine never did. Window regulators, yes but commend in hot weather areas. My son owned 2 2003 f-150 with the 4.6. Both trucks handle every bit of abuse he put them through. So, I tell people, every vehicle will have a problem or two, just know what you like and deal with a dealership you can trust.

I have a 2005 F-150 lariat 5.4. When running it sounds like a diesel and I don't know why. My main concern with the truck is, it's advertised at 15 mpg on the street but woah and behold I don't get that. No, I get 10 mpg and it's not even lifted. Actually, it has no modifications at all. With the cheapest gas around me being sold at $4.09 a gallon this is a major issue for me. I told the owner of Tuttle-Click Ford in San Juan Capistrano about this issue and he didn't help me at all. Now I'm thinking of getting the Coyote and it being a Ford I'm starting to reconsider.

Brand new Ford F-150 owner. The truck's fan began running at high speed and is extremely loud certain times when starting the vehicle or if it is idling for short periods, say at a stop light. I took it to the dealership (Joe Myers Ford) and they said that Ford released a statement on July 1st that this is a problem but there is nothing they can do to fix it. I am extremely disappointed as this is my first experience owning a Ford and will most likely be my last. The truck's performance turned out to be sub-par and it has limited features in comparison to the competition but it does seem to have more room in the cab and good suspension which is about all I can give Ford credit for in reference to this truck.

I have a 2009 F 150 that has rusted wheel wells in the rear and the underneath of the truck is also rusted. Only 6 years old !!!!!!! Made in America. Warranty ran out 2014. The truck looks brand new.

I bought my 17 yo daughter a 2001 F150 CREW CAB about a year ago. It's been a great truck for her with the usual Ford issues - rotting bed and rocker panels. We are avid Ford truck loyals and are now very concerned. On her way home yesterday a passerby stopped her and said there were flames coming out from under the passenger side of her truck. A firefighter ran over and checked the truck out. Couldn't find anything - flames went out. We had the truck towed to the garage and it was worked on all day with no result of any obvious findings. That being said and now after reading all of these postings about them bursting into flames, I am concerned for her safety. Does she drive it? Do we let the truck sit? What is the cause of all these fires? What is Ford doing about it?

The 2014 F-150 with the 3.7 six advertises 17 MPGs city and 23 MPGs Hwy. 19 MPGs overall. I get 13.1 MPGs overall for the first 2,000 miles. They told me from Ford.com and the local dealer (Veterans Ford 70002) that you need 1,500 to 2,000 miles to get a good read. If it doesn't they could fix it. I got 13.1 and called the dealer and ford.com. No records found and the local, couldn't remember even though they went for a ride. Gene, the service MGR went for the ride. Can't remember. He does it thousands of times a year. Gene went further and laughed. He said I should be happy I wasn't getting 10 MPGs. What a jerk!

I have 2010 F-150. It has been taken in several times for a jerky transmission. They always says that's normal torque for that model. It's driven rough and jerky.

This seems to be a Ford exclusive screw up because it's the second time it's happened to me and I never heard of it happening to another car maker. The issue : The wind force blows the paint off the vehicle in great patches right down to the primer. First instance: Had a 1986 F-150 pick up that unpainted itself in great swatches. After several calls, they told me there seemed to be an incompatibility issue between the paint itself and the primer used.. End result : Ford paid to have the whole truck stripped of primer and paint and completely repainted at their expense. Kept the truck for another bunch of years and never had another issue with the paint job.

My truck (2013 F150 STX) all of a sudden loses power and my gauges go dead. This has happened 5 or 6 times over the last 2 1/2 months. I pull over and shut the truck off and when I turn it back on it runs fine. After the second power loss I called my dealer service department. I was told it was no big deal. After the third I brought it in and they kept my truck for 3 days. They drove all over and it didn't happen so they said they can't fix what they can't see or hear. After the 4th time when it happened I drove to the dealer with it still dysfunctional and they worked on it all day.

I bought a Ford F-150 Lariat 2013 new. I now have 23000 miles on it and had a vibration in the steering wheel. Took it to the dealer and had to have the rotors turned. Dealership said the rotors were warped. I ask how they got that way. The service advisor said that unfortunately that was a common problem with the F150's. I ask why he told me that there was a certain metal in that rotor that was banned by government, so took it out and never changed it. I'm confused by this statement and ask him about the other Ford vehicles and there was one of the Suv's that had the same problem. They did it at no cost to me to fix it. My concern is what happens at 20000 more miles.

I have a Ford F150 2011 exodus, I was driving when I had a misfire and the check engine light came on. I took my Ford in a month ago before it did this, Ford diagnosed the problem and they fixed a spark plug so I paid $200.. Then a month ago I had another misfire. Now I checked the spark plugs myself and one was broken and 2 spark plugs didn't look good. I test drive and then it still misfires. Now I have to check the coils... This truck should have a recall on this problem.

There is no damage at the outside brake light. Inside the glass is a white spot.. I took the 2013 F-150 3.5L crew cab.. One of the guys look at it and said this was normal.. BS, not stupid, and disrespectful.. The services manager took some pictures and send it out to warranty.. 3 days after, never receive a call. I call and found out the warranty was denied because something hit it, a rock.. No damage or mark in the outside.. Seem a water leak.. I found many report of water leak that Ford has problems over the year.. To me it's how they make money.. I call this fraud.

There is a known defect in Ford vehicles (I own a 2007 Ford F150 Lariat) where the coil shorts out and the spark plug misfires. Even though Ford is well aware of the design flaw, they provide no support for fixing the problem. I have only put 28,000 miles on my truck in the last 5 years, yet I have had to replace coil and plugs on three separate occasions, ranging in price on each visit from $420 to $650. Scared to drive this vehicle any great distance given the probability of the problem occurring. There is no way this should not be covered by Ford given the design flaw.

Bought my 2007 F150 Xlt Triton V8 with 64,000 miles on it. At 85,000 miles we had to replace the transmission which was just 20,000 miles ago (1 1/2 years). This past Friday I was driving home from work as normal and out of no where I start smelling oil then my truck starts smoking. I pulled over and turned the truck off afraid of it catching fire. While letting it cool down and raising the hood nothing appeared to be wrong. Checked under the truck and lo and behold all of the transmission fluid has poured onto the ground. Of course it will not hold transmission fluid but it goes to the shop today. This is becoming a nuisance. The truck only has 102,000 miles on it.

2013 Ford F-150 Supercrew has failed to start twice. I woke up in December 2014 to my vehicle being dead as a doorknob when I attempted to press the key fob to unlock the doors as I normally do to enter and then get in and start. The event repeated again in May 2015 - this time we called dealer so they wouldn't jump vehicle to diagnose why this problem was occurring. After keeping it a week they couldn't find anything draining the battery. But as soon as I drove it home and parked it I got a display error message "Battery saving mode --- remove key from ignition" but the problem is I had already cut the car off and the key was out of the ignition. I reinserted the key after a minute and restarted the car and turned it off to see if I would get the same message and I didn't.

I bought this truck new. NOTHING went wrong during the warranty period. Since then, I have had to replace the intermediate shaft in the steering. This was less than $200 including labour. It's unfortunate that it happened, but it's pretty easy to change. Don't let anyone tell you that it's a hard job, and inflate the price. I changed the plugs at 190000 kms, which is way past the specified interval, and 7 years old. One came out, the other 7 required the special tool. With the tool, it no big deal. That cost me $500, which included an oil change (full synthetic) and tax.

Had windows tinted per Ford, did not help. Was told that nothing else could be done. Checked other 2015 Ford F150, they have the same problem of chrome air vent reflecting onto driver side window, impeding outside rear view vision.

I have a 2005 F-150 with 88,000 miles on it. In November 2013 the truck died on me. It started with a ticking noise that kept getting worse then ended up going into fail-safe mode. Long story short I take it to the shop and they tell me probably the Phasers are shot and it's a known issue with this engine. They said they can tear it apart and see but if that's not it I will need a new engine and I will still have to pay for the initial troubleshooting cost (new engine - $6000 + troubleshooting cost $1000-$1500).

I love the F150 Ecoboost, but when I accelerate while hitting a bump or pothole, the transmission will torque up and hit the bottom of the body. It started when the truck was 1 week old. All factory equipment. Mine is a FX 4, fully loaded. I installed a 2.5" leveling kit on the front & 1.5" in the back because of the lease roads that I drive on. I also put 34" mud tires on it because I almost got stuck doing my work. The dealership said it was the transmission mount. They changed it. Still doing it. Then they said it was the back shocks. They changed them. Still doing it. I told them it was the motor mounts. Their engineer said no, and said that I need to buy a poly type mount for the transmission. I said I'm not buying anything for a pickup under warranty. They said it was the leveling kit, so they took it off. Didn't change anything.

I purchased my '04 F-150 quad cab new. It is a 4x2 that is used to pull our 31`' travel trailer, which chore it handles quite well. Problem #1 steering shaft is unprotected and the u-joints freeze up. Fortunately, I soaked the joints in penetrating oil and have bought time. My son-in-law wasn't so lucky and had to have his replaced on his '06 F-150.

I bought new 2006 Ford King Ranch in 2005 and he has been my second bad experience I have had out of 12 fords in my life. My first was 1974 with the new 460 engine and bad experience with 78 coils and now my 2006 KR with the same engine problems as everyone else. 3000.00 May fix or new engine. I only have 66,000 on truck. I drove truck very little until I retired in 2013 and then is when the engine started. I thought about getting rid of it and get a new one but I think it is time for a change.

2013 Ford F-150 Lariat - Bought it brand new, it spends more time in the shop than on the street. 17,000 miles, June 20, 2014, dropped it off for leaking, got it back September 19, 2014. Problems including needing a new transmission. Since then it has been in the shop 5 additional times. Ford has refused to honor NY Lemon Law... Taking Ford to court.

Told motor is bad only 146kmiles. Traded in 89 Chevy with 320k miles on it, still running and driving. Wonder which one was built ford tough. 8000.00 for a motor that the aftermarket has fixed the problems that ford can't or won't. A BUNCH OF ** if you ask me.

I bought a 2004 F150 with 46,000 miles on it back in 2009 thinking I would get many good years out of it. The transmission failed within three weeks and required replacement. I was stunned at the cost of the repairs and dumped the Ford F150 for a used Dodge Dakota with a lot more miles on it and never had any problems with that truck.

Picked my sick wife up at the airport, drove 10 miles (of the hundred to get us home) and her f150 started running rough and making a loud rapping noise under the hood (was on a busy freeway at the time). Pulled over (dangerous) to check out but could not see as it was dark. So because my wife was sick and I have animals to take care of I decided to try to drive it the next 90 miles home (I had decided it was a blown out spark plug and the worst it could do was smell really bad, run rough, be loud and hopefully not catch on fire).

Ford F-150 Lariat 5.4 Super crew - I bought this beautiful truck used with 60,000 miles on it. Around the 100,000 mile mark I blew the transmission. At this point I just took it for what it was and was not to upset because it did have a decent amount of mileage on it. However, a year later it went out again. Now I was a little upset. I'm $6,000 in the hole. Originally I thought the mechanic had done a bad repair but it was past the warranty and I had to pay for it myself again. 6 months later it went out AGAIN. Now it’s becoming a Ford issue. This time it crapped out in Nashville but I got a decent deal on the repair. So I'm back on the road and everything seems fine. Not 2 months later it goes out AGAINNNNNN, luckily the last repair was still under warranty. Turns out this time the Rear Planetary gear imploded. At this point I'm so furious I can't put it into words. I drove it home 300 miles and what do you know it starts making a crazy racket under the hood.

I'll admit ford's a great company BUT only when they made old trucks. I have a 1977 ford f150 and it's 38 years old. Have never I repeat never had a problem with it but now? I also have a 2003 ford f150. It's only 12 years old and only has 86000 miles on it and I changed the transmission twice.. the fluid was low and was slipping for 1 day so I brought it to auto zone, filled it with new fluid and now all my forward gears are burned up... thanks ford! The only ford I'll be driving now is that old truck and nothing else.

I've driven Ford F-Series for the past 35 years and I've never has an issue that I would call normal wear and tear, but the 2004 F150 that I purchased in 2006 was the same until I hit 100k miles. The ignition coils started going out one by one at $140.00 a pop (parts and labor). Most recently at 107000 miles I pull up to a light and it starts to misfire and the check engine light comes on. $275.00 later I found that this is common for this motor to lose oil pressure without any indication due to the CAM Phaser and oil passage ways getting clogged.
