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.

I was parked at a food store when I presses the rear defrost to clear up the fogged up window. While talking to my wife we hear a loud bang noise. I walked around my vehicle and noticed the rear drivers panel window shattered. This is the second time this has happened. Three years ago while driving on the highway I turned on the rear defrost and the passenger rear window panel shatttered. I notified Ford Motor Company and they refuse to help with issue.

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.

I have noticed of F150 forums that from 09 to 2013 on the crew cab the passenger rear door will not open from the inside or the truck or the outside of the truck with I would think is a big safety concern.
