61 of the
1,136 complaints about the 2010 Ford F-150 are about the
other systems — 5% of everything
reported for this model year.
Half of the failures with a mileage on record happened before
65,000 miles.
While sitting at school drop off in the morning the passenger side of my rear 3 piece power sliding window spontaneously shattered while my 2 year old daughter was sitting under it. I examined the outside of the window and there were no impacts. The rear window defroster was turned on at the time. No lights or fuses blew. Searching online this is a known problem and Ford has discontinued the window so I am stuck without a rear window currently. I’ve tried 2 separate glass companies and talked with the ford dealer I purchased it from.

Purchased a 2010 Ford F-150 that was fraudulently advertised and sold as a 2014 Ford F-150 with 68,000 miles. The odometer displayed approximately 66,000 miles at time of purchase. An independent mechanic at DTX Automotives confirmed the vehicle actually has approximately 210,000 real miles. The seller presented a Carfax report belonging to a completely different vehicle to conceal the true mileage and year. The vehicle is available for inspection. The odometer discrepancy was confirmed by the mechanic via diagnostic scan. A police report was filed with XXX, Case No. XXX. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The transmission cooler line is prompt to break from the metal and plastic connection from 09 to 14 all model engines. Is caused of the friction of the vehicle, corrosion and weather specificallyis your vehicle is from the north. Causing for the fluid to leak, empty the fluid from the transmission and burning it.... took the vehicle and talk to various mechanic and the dealership and was told is a common problem in those model and year trucks.... there's no recall on them..... The lines from my vehicle are starting to show fluid leak....

I recently bought this truck 12/31/21. On 1/14/22 I was stopped in a parking lot at a stop sign , I was at the sign no one was ahead of me , with my right foot on the brake waiting the Truck began accelerating to the point the rear tires broke traction and the truck rear end started moving to the side , with my foot still on the brake pushing harder ( the pedal felt like the ABS system was pushing against my foot ) I immediately turned the ignition to the off position . After a few seconds I started the truck it idled ok so I proceeded as normal . My drive home was around 25 miles with no more issues . I have only talked to a few people and googled what may have happed but all I’ve seen is unless it can be duplicated or some kind of code shows up this will be hard to diagnose , also I was told it may be worth my while to contact this organization NHTSA . Thank you .

THE VEHICLE WILL BREAK ON ITS OWN, WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. IT USUALLY OCCURS WHEN TRAVELING AT LOWER SPEEDS. 40 MPH AND LOWER. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY INCIDENTS ON THE FREEWAY, JUST ON THE HIGHWAY AND MOUNTAIN ROADS. NO CODES COME UP. THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT MAY COME ON BUT IT GOES AWAY.

MY TWO KIDS AND I WERE PLACING AN ORDER AT A DRIVE THROUGH, WHEN WE HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT IN MY TRUCK. I LOOKED OVER MY DAUGHTER'S HEAD AND SEE MY BACK DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW HAD EXPLODED. I HAD THE DEFROST ON FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. IT WAS SNOWING, SO I DIDN'T GET A GOOD LOOK AT IT TILL TODAY.IT LOOKS LIKE THE WINDOW IS READY TO FALL IN. NO SIGNS OF ANYTHING HITTING THE WINDOW FROM EITHER SIDE. I HAVE READ OVER 100 DIFFERENT COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER FORD OWNERS.

I FOUND THE RECALL NUMBER FROM FORD IS 11S15 ONLINE. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY 2010 FORD F150. HOWEVER, THE SAME DEALERSHIP IS INDICATING THAT ALL FOUR OF THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE FAILING AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. IF ONE FAILED I MIGHT BELIEVE WEAR AND TEAR, BUT ALL FOUR WOULD INDICATE A DEFECT AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL REFERENCED ABOVE.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE JAN 2017. IT HAS STALLED/SHUT DOWN AT LEAST 6 TIMES WHEN APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, SLOWING FOR TURNING VEHICLES AND ALSO SHUT DOWN IN A STATIONARY POSITION. TODAY MAKES THE 4TH TIME IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE PLACE I PURCHASED IT, A FORD DEALERSHIP AND NOW A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE PUTS THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, MY CHILDREN AND ANY PASSENGERS AT HIGH RISK DUE TO THE FACT IT USUALLY DOES THIS ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS. I NEED THIS RESOLVED.

ON NUMEROUS OCCASION, REGARDLESS OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS OR OTHER VARIABLES, MY 2010 F150 WILL STALL OUT RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. I LOSE POWER STEERING, THE BRAKES LOCK UP AND I AM UNABLE TO ACCELERATE TO MOVE MY TRUCK OUT OF HARMS WAY ON THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS DURING TIMES WHEN THE TRUCK IS MOVING AS WELL AS STATIONARY. IT CAN HAPPEN DURING TURNING, SLOWING DOWN, ACCELERATING, IN FACT IT IS HARD TO PIN POINT A CONSISTENT PATTERN OF WHEN IT OCCURS. I WAS NEARLY INVOLVED IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND FIND IT VERY DISTURBING THAT THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ON MANY OTHER FORD TRUCKS AND YET NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN. THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EVEN AFTER NUMEROUS TRIPS TO THE SHOP AND A LOT OF MONEY SPENT TO HAVE IT FIXED.

TURNED ON MY REAR DEFROSTER AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. ABOUT TWO MILES DOWN THE ROAD THE BACK SPLIT WINDOW BLOWS OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2010AND2011 F150. THIS IS A LOT OF MONEY TO REPLACE ON SOMEONE'S DIME THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM.

2010 FORD F150 XLT; BOUGHT FROM A USED CAR DEALER 2/7/2015. ON 3/27/2015 I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE & WAS TOLD THAT THE RACK & PINION WAS DAMAGED; WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP & THEY HAD THE RACK & PINION REPLACED. TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE ON 9/26/2016 & ONCE AGAIN I'M LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID. I CONTACTED THE REPAIR SHOP & THEY HAVE NO PAPER RECORD OF THE REPAIR & NEITHER DOES THE DEALERSHIP. I CALLED EVERY PARTS STORE IN THE AREA & NONE OF THEM HAVE A RECORD OF SELLING THE REPAIR SHOP THAT PARTICULAR PART FOR MY MAKE & MODEL TRUCK. THERE IS ONE PARTS STORE THAT WILL BE WILLING TO DO AN EXCHANGE FOR THE OLD PART BUT ONLY WITH THE REPAIR SHOP THAT ORIGINALLY DID THE WORK. I DON'T WANT THAT GUY WORKING ON MY TRUCK ANYMORE BECAUSE WHEN HE PUT THE PART ON THE FIRST TIME, HE PUT IT ON WITH ZIP TIES! THIS PART COSTS AROUND $375 PLUS LABOR & I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. NOT WITH RAISING 2 KIDS BY MYSELF BECAUSE THEIR DEADBEAT DAD WON'T GET A JOB TO HELP WITH EXPENSES. I HAVE TO KEEP POWER STEERING FLUID ON HAND AT ALL TIMES BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN I'M GONNA HAVE TO ADD SOME TO THE TRUCK. I'VE NOTICED THAT SAME "WHINE" IN A LOT OF FORD TRUCKS DRIVING BY MY HOUSE & SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. I HAVE NO WARRANTY ON MY TRUCK ANYMORE & I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ONE OF THOSE EXTENDED WARRANTY THINGS YOU SEE ONLINE OR ON TV COMMERCIALS.
