When engine IS started in the mornings you can hear a knocking sound which seems to subside as the engine IS warming. I've been watching the video on youtube about the catastrophic consequences this will eventually occur if the cause IS not discovered and repaired. please refer to youtube videos fordtechmakeuloco see the 2004-2015 titled ford f-150/e-150 lower balljoint replacement and how a failed $4.00 part turned into a $7,000 motor repair. Oil pumps also. happens in the driveway idling . Ford dealer wanted $125. To diagnose this morning thursday 12/10/2020.

I started getting a check fuel inlet warning occasionally and then my check engine light came on so I took the vehicle in for service. I was informed that the canister purge valve was faulty and was in need of replacement at the cost of $341. as it were my 2010 ford fusion has the very same part being replace as part of a safety recall. I noted this to both my ford dealer and ford customer service but I am still responsible for the repair. my question IS why it's a safety recall in one instance but an owners responsibility in another.

At any speed it will shift into 1ST gear without warning. Speedometer will fluctuate between 0-65mph. Rear wheels lock up, and you will loose control of vehicle. A couple hours ago, on the freeway it shirted to 1ST gear, locked up the rear end, and the car behind me crashed into center divider trying to avoid me. This lock up has happened 4 times on freeway and many times on standard roadway. I took it to ford and they said it needed a re-flash of the computer, and that would fix the problem. That was on saturday 2/18, and it just did it again monday 2/20. I ended up facing the wrong way on the rainy freeway. It IS now at the ford dealer again. They say it could be covered under the recall but are not sure. This IS very dangerous!!! Someone will loose their life!!

When applying the brakes the first braking action doesn't seem to be as effective as say the second application as far as bringing the vehicle to a stop, when in motion. It doesn't seem to matter whether it's on the street or highway or turning. march of 2016 I had to make a sudden stop and didn't think I would avoid the vehicle in front of me. However a semi tractor with trailer rear ended me causing about $5,000.00 damage to the left rear of the E-150. Before taking the vehicle on vacation I reported the braking issue with the andy mohr ford in plainfield in., they said the brakes needed bled with a machine and that if that didn't fix the issue they would bleed them manually. I didn't take it back because they didn't seem to have a clue as to what the problem might be. I paid for the machine bleed, just around $100.00. I knew from my previous experience as a mechanic, that bleeding the system wouldn't correct the problem, as the brake pedal was solid and not soft or mushy. Anyway, I asked and received a refund and still the problem persists. They did replace the left rear axle seal that I discovered while performing maintenance before taking a trip to florida. The leaking axle seal had no affect with the vehicle stopping as there was no lubricant dripping or slinging onto the rotor or brake caliper. thank you for your concerns. they would bleed the brakes manually. *tr

I have a F150 2011 3.5L eco boost motor that failed to accelerate after filling up with gas at a rest stop. I was near chicago on interstate 80/90 I tried to pull out using the acceleration ramp traffic was extremely heavy so needed to use the eco boost power when the engine started to shutter and the service engine light keep flashing on then off. I had my wife with me and we had to pull over to side of the road because the motor lost power. I could not get onto the road because of the traffic. there was a lot of semi-truck on the road that day and this almost ended up in a collision. I had been driving in the rain for about 1.5 hours before pulling into the service area. I call my local ford dealer they said they have been getting a lot of reports about this problem. I ask if ford has a recall about this problem they said ford has no recalls. I call ford customer service after that and they said they will open a case study about this problem, but as of now they cannot do anything about this problem. I even told them this was a high liability problem and what IS it going to take someone to get killed before ford fixes the problem. I can't believe with all the people having the same problem I am having and this IS a 2011 tuck they can't resolve the problem sense we are getting ready to go into 2014.

This vehicle, a 2011 E-150 ford van wagon. steering becomes uncontrollable starting at 50 mph and becomes progressively worse as speed increases to 75 mph. The 2 prior incidences referenced above occurred between 50-75 mph. Any slight adjustments by driver, especially at 70 mph, creates sway conducive to rollover. It seems as if the "power assist" interferes with driver's control of steering wheel. At higher speeds, over-steer IS created and when the driver makes a correction, a swaying effect IS created. As speed increases, the power assist function IS supposed to diminish, giving driver full control. Technicians at dealership confirmed above symptoms and stated an engineering problem because alignment was according to specs. Thereafter what IS described occurred every time in the range between 55-75 mph. Steering and handling IS extremely dangerous at speeds above 55 mph. the consumer stated the sway bar IS undersized which tends to shift to the right causing metal to metal contact. Sway bars are not supposed to shift, they are supposed to remain in place. Updated 08/05/11 the consumer also stated the shock absorber bushing was cracked. Updated 08/24/11 the suspension IS inadequate and the body top on top of the wheel frame moves whereas the body tracks. when traveling down the highway at 70 mph, the suspension can not handle the wind resistance of any cross wind at all. The body of the van shifts. updated 09/08/11.*jb the consumer stated the problem IS due to a body roll issue. updated 09/13/11.*jb updated 09/20/11.*jb updated 09/27/11.*jb updated 10/03/11. *Jb the consumer stated a re-certified ase mechanic examined the vehicle with him and the mechanic pointed out the metal to metal contact between the sway bar and the frame bracket was the result of the sway bar shifting from right to left. the consumer believed that the last shift movement was so strong, that the bar remained skewed, jammed and locked up. The top of each link was severely angled toward the passenger side. updated 11/17/11

- 10164508Some 2010-2020 vehicles may exhibit distorted glass with a subtle orange peel pattern or streaking etched into the surface. This is caused by hydrofluoric acid which is used in some car wash solutions as a cleaning agent. Hydrofluoric acid can attack the glass and cause visual distortion and/or discoloration on the outer surface which cannot be removed by further cleaning. If this type of distortion is found, inspect the area of the glass that is covered by the cowl and/or molding. The portion of glass that is covered by the cowl or molding will not be affected by the acid. Hydrofluoric acid damage is not a defect in material or workmanship and is not a warrantable condition.
- 10160931On vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission it is imperative that the converter pilot hub be greased with Motorcraft Multi-Purpose Grease Spray XL-5-A even if grease was not applied from the factory. Also verify that the engine/transmission alignment dowel pins are present as well as the engine crankshaft dowel pin, if equipped, when installing the transmission. Failure to adequately lubricate the converter hub greatly increases the likelihood of the flexplate cracking in the future. Missing dowels may cause a misalignment issue also resulting in a premature failure. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 307-01.
