problem #15

F-150

  • 14,000 miles
Ford eliminated the engine cover in 2019 exposing the engine wiring to the elements. Since the wiring insulation is made from soy this allow for rodents to clime up into the engine compartment and chew at the exposed wires. This can disables the vehicle or set a vehicle engine lights at the owners expense. In my case the vehicle lost power on the freeway and I had several lights come on. The top speed dropped from 70mph to 23mph. Brighton Ford did repair the vehicle at my expense. Going forward even though the repair has put the vehicle back on the road, the potential problem still exist. Ford customer care said there is no solution available to this problem I have opened a case but I don't believe anyone is looking at it. I also check 2021 vehicles and it has the same issue.

I purchased a brand new Ford truck XL. F-150 on 8/23/2020.on 8/23/2020. The vehicle broke down, after a week of being at the dealership they came to a conclusion based on the diagnostic test that the vehicle was, allegedy struck by lighting with no visible marks the Ford dealership suggested that I should put a claim in through my insurance since my vehicle is not a warranty item under acts of nature which I did. I then contacted the original dealership where I purchased the vehicle from and had the truck towed on 9/11/2020.after numerous attemps and opening a claim through corporate Ford and then being denied I reached out to my insurance company after three independent appraisal's and numerous phone calls along with emails no one has responded to resole this issue, it has been almost three months now with no conclusion and my insurance company has denied my claim due to the incompetence of the Ford dealership.

F-150

  • 2,300 miles
Faulty backup and forward camera at inconsistent intervals. Camera will become very dark and view is distorted making it impossible to see where you are going from camera view. Truck was bought new in January 2020 and started having camera problems late this summer. With covid-19 not driving as much as before April. The cameras only work when backing up or pulling forward at low speed. Thus trying to park or exit a parking space cameras can be of no help if it is having its sporadic dark out.

F-150

  • 3,000 miles
My truck is 5 months old and has been to the dealer 3 times to have the front camera fixed. They finally replaced the front camera and it still does not work. The truck has a front camera side cameras and a rear camera. Thousands of people have complained about different cameras not working and Ford just ignores it or replaced the faulty camera with another seemingly faulty camera. Numerous reports and numerous vehicles have been to Ford with the same issue, the cameras failing, front side and back up cameras. On a truck that cost as much as they do something as simple as a camera to help people back up and judge the distance pulling into parking spots is pathetic. Many people who don't drive trucks often rely on these cameras as a safety feature when backing up or pulling into spots to avoid hitting another car. The vehicle has to be moving 5mph or slower for the cameras to work and parked of moving they do not work.
