    Frame of the body is completely rusted through to the point that it is almost unsafe to drive. It was identified when attempting to replace the rocker panel on the passenger side and the list put a hole in the frame. The vehicle has been well maintained but the amount of rust seems unusual for the age of the vehicle. I know the previous owner and he took painstakingly good care of the vehicle and it has been driven very little since I purchased it a couple of years back. The fix is to repair the frame at the cost of $3k plus or let it rust away completely. The amount of rust does not add up and I see similar issues with thousands of comments online.

THIS PAST WEEK ONE WAS SO BRIGHT THAT I COULDN'T SEE AND ALMOST DROVE OFF THE ROAD.....

I FINALLY INVESTIGATED AND REALIZED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS NOT ILLUMINATED UNDER DAYLIGHT CONDITIONS. IT IS ONLY ILLUMINATED WHEN THE PARKING LIGHTS OR HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. THE ONLY WAY TO GET ILLUMINATION DURING DAYLIGHT IS TO COVER THE LIGHT SENSOR THUS SIMULATING DARKNESS. THIS,HOWEVER, ONLY ILLUMINATES THE GAUGES AT THE LOWER SETTING FOR NIGHTTIME DRIVING. THE DIMMER KNOB/WHEEL IS OPERATIONAL BUT DOES NOT INCREASE ILLUMINATION TO THE LEVEL EXPECTED FOR DAYLIGHT DRIVING.

AT 45 MPH, I SLIGHTLY TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR TO MAINTAIN THE 45 MPH SPEED LIMIT, THE RPM'S WENT OVER 4000 AND WOULD NOT STOP. I APPLIED THE BRAKE, BUT THE ENGINE KEPT THE RPM'S BETWEEN 4000 AND 4200. I STOMPED ON THE BRAKE WITH BOTH FEET AND THE UN-INTENDED ACCELERATION STAYED AT THE HIGHER RPM. I COULD HEAR THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGE TO HELP SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN, BUT THE ENGINE LABORED OVER 4000 RPM. I WAS CONCERNED WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK, SO I SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND COASTED TO THE BERM OF THE ROAD WITH THE ENGINE STAYING AT A VERY HIGH RPM. ONCE I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, I SHIFTED THE TRUCK INTO PARK AND THE RPM'S WERE OVER 6000. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND WAITED A FEW SECONDS BEFORE TRYING TO RE-START THE TRUCK. I CHECKED THE CONDITION OF THE FLOOR MAT ASAP TO VERIFY IT WAS NOT ON TOP OF THE ACCELERATOR. THIS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE LESS THAN A YEAR AGO AND NOTHING WAS FOUND AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE OGC REVIEWS SUGGESTED THAT THE FLOOR MAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE FIRST UN-INTENDED ACCELERATION. AS I TURNED THE KEY, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START AND IT MADE A CLICKING NOISE. I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK AND OPENED THE HOOD TO CHECK THE MOTOR. I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING, SO I WENT BACK INTO THE CAB AND STARTED THE TRUCK. IT STARTED, BUT WOULD NOT IDLE, THE RPM'S WENT TO OVER 6000 AND STAYED CONSTANT. I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AGAIN AND WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND ON THE THIRD ATTEMPT, I SHUT THE TRUCK BACK OFF, BECAUSE THE RPM'S WOULD NOT IDLE AND WENT TO 6000 AND STAYED THERE.

    PROBLEM 1: MY TRUCKS TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGES ON SNOW AND THROWS THE WHEELS INTO A SLIDE RATHER THAN STABILIZES THE VEHICLE. I TURN SWAY AND/OR TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND IT TURNS ITSELF BACK ON WHENEVER I STOP AND THEN GET BACK IN AND RESTART THE TRUCK. PROBLEM 2: THIS TRUCK WILL NOT GIVE AN ACCURATE READ ON GAS IN THE TANK AS THE NEEDLE IS ALWAYS GETTING STUCK. I GAUGE BY MILES GONE AS TO WHEN I NEED GAS. (JUST STOPPED TO GET GAS THOUGHT I WAS OUT BUT NEEDLE WENT OVER 1/2 WHICH IS WHAT I PUT IN.) BUT THERE ARE MORE ELECTRICAL ISSUES SUCH AS THE DOORS THAT UNLOCK DURING THE NIGHT WHEN I HAVE LOCKED ALL DOORS, BY MORNING ONE OR MORE DOORS OFTEN ON PASSENGER SIDE UNLOCK THEMSELVES. AND SYNC ALWAYS DOES IT'S OWN THING WITH MY IPHONE X, NEVER KNOW IF IT WILL CONNECT OR BE DISCONNECTED WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES IT GOES FROM HANDS FREE ANSWER IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONVERSATION TO SUDDENLY IN PRIVACY MODE. THESE PROBLEMS ARE WHILE IN MOTION AND SOMETIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. PROBLEM 3: TRUCK SPEEDOMETER IS VERY DIFFICULT TO READ DUE TO HASH MARKS FOR SPEED INSTEAD OF NUMBERS AT 20, 40, 60, ETC SPEEDS. NEARLY GOT A TICKET FOR LOOKING DOWN TOO LONG TO READ MY DISPLAY. STARTING TO HATE THIS TRUCK AS I NEVER KNOW WHAT IT WILL DO OR NOT DO. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS IT IS A CONSISTENT DISTRACTION. SO MUCH FOR SAFETY DUE TO TECHNOLOGY. IF OTHERS HAVE THESE ISSUES WELL IT'S NO WONDER PEOPLE ARE DRIVING SO BADLY NOW.

I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS ISSUE AS AN INOPERATIVE DOOR LATCH POSES A VERY HIGH RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH IF OCCUPANTS ARE UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. *TR

    WHEN ENGAGED, THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK ON THE FORD F150 2009 CAUSES THE DOOR TO NOT HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF BEING OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE PURPOSE OF THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK IS TO PREVENT THE DOOR FROM BEING OPENED (BY CHILDREN) FROM THE INSIDE ONLY. THE INABILITY OF THE DOOR BEING ABLE TO BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE PRESENTS A GRAVE RISK OF DANGER IF THIS VEHICLE IS ENGAGED IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHICH WOULD PREVENT EMERGENCY PERSONNEL OR ANY OTHER PERSONNEL FROM BEING ABLE TO PROPERLY OPEN THE DOOR POTENTIALLY CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, MY FORD F150 2009 PICKUP TRUCK IS A FOUR DOOR CREW CAB MODEL. WHEN I ENGAGED THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME DURING OWNERSHIP (12/16/2012), THE DOOR HANDLE IMMEDIATELY WOULD NOT WORK FROM BOTH THE INSIDE (AS EXPECTED) AS WELL AS THE OUTSIDE. I CURRENTLY HAVE THREE CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF FOUR WHICH ARE SITUATED IN CAR SEATS (AS REQUIRED BY LAW) IN THE CREW CAB SECTION OF MY TRUCK. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, GREAT CONCERN EXISTS FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN AS WELL AS THE CHILDREN OF FELLOW, UNKNOWLEDGEABLE OR UNSUSPECTING FORD F150 TRUCK OWNERS THAT THIS SAFETY DEFECT EXISTS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR INVESTIGATION INTO THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

    ON JANUARY 2, 2010, IN AUSTIN, TEXAS, I WAS ACCELERATING IN A 2009 FORD F-150 SUPERCREW TO ENTER A RESTRICTED ACCESS HIGHWAY AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME LODGED ON AN AFTERMARKET WEATHERTECH BRAND FLOOR MAT AT FAIRLY CLOSE TO FULL THROTTLE. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO ONE IN MY LANE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS ABLE TO SWITCH THE VEHICLE OFF, SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND HOLD MY LANE POSITION AS I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO A STOP. I DISLODGED THE ACCELERATOR FROM THE MAT AND THEN REMOVED THE MAT. AT THAT POINT, I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE MY TRIP. I PURCHASED THE MATS DIRECTLY FROM WEATHERTECH ON DEC 27,2008. SHORTLY AFTER I RECEIVED THE MATS, WEATHERTECH THEN SENT ME REPLACEMENT MATS FOR THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER. THERE WAS NO EXPLANATION FOR THE REPLACEMENT MATS. CURIOUS AS TO THE REASON AND CONCERNED THAT I WAS BEING CHARGED AGAIN FOR MATS, MY WIFE CALLED WEATHERTECH'S SERVICE LINE. SHE WAS TOLD THAT WEATHERTECH WAS NOT "SATISFIED WITH THE FIT" OF THE FIRST SET OF MATS THAT WE RECEIVED. THERE WAS CERTAINLY NO INDICATION THAT THERE WAS ANY SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE ORIGINAL MATS. I COMPARED THE NEW MATS TO THE ORIGINAL ONES AND COULD SEE NO SUBSTANTIAL DIFFERENCE, SO I DID NOT REPLACE THEM, AND SIMPLY PUT THE NEW MATS IN MY GARAGE, UNUSED. AFTER THE JAN 2, 2010 EVENT, I REALIZED THAT THERE WAS INDEED A CHANGE. A CHANGE THAT I NOW KNOW TO BE VERY SIGNIFICANT. THE REPLACEMENT MAT HAS A ?CUT OUT? FOR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO PREVENT THE LOWER END OF THE PEDAL FROM HANGING UP ON THE MAT. OBVIOUSLY, I HAVE NOW SWITCHED OUT THE OLD MAT FOR THE NEW ONE. I CERTAINLY APPLAUD THE REDESIGN. MY CONCERN IS THAT I RECEIVED NO WARNING OR INDICATION FROM WEATHERTECH THAT REPLACING THE DRIVER?S MAT WAS AN URGENT SAFETY MATTER THAT COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR INJURY IF NOT PERFORMED PROMPTLY. I NOTIFIED WEATHERTECH OF MY CONCERN IN JANUARY 2010 AND HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE. *TR

    I HAVE HAD NO ANSWER TO MY CONCERN. I PURCHASED A NEW 2009 FORD XLT FOUR DOOR EXTENDED CAB PICKUP IN FEBRUARY. IN APRIL 2009, I NOTICED THAT THE INSIDE DASH LIGHTS (GAUGES, SPEEDOMETER, ETC.) CAME ON ONLY WHEN IT WAS VERY DARK OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THIS IS TRUE WHETHER THE LIGHT SWITCH IS IN THE MANUAL OR THE AUTOMATIC POSITION. THE DASH LIGHTS WILL NOT RESPOND WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED IN THE MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC POSITION UNLESS IT IS VERY DARK OUTSIDE OR YOU PLACE YOUR FINGER OVER THE ELECTRIC EYE. THE FORD DEALER FROM WHOM I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AGREED THAT THE DASH LIGHTS SHOULD ILLUMINATE WHENEVER THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON AND KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR FIVE DAYS TRYING TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY FINALLY GOT HOLD OF THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY HOT LINE AND WERE TOLD THAT THE CURRENT LIGHTING SYSTEM FOR THIS VEHICLE IS A RESULT OF A PROGRAMMING CHANGE MADE BY THE COMPANY FOR 2009. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ONLY SOLUTION TO MY CONCERN WOULD RESULT AS A PROBABLE RECALL FOR ALL OF THE VEHICLES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IN LATE MAY 2009, I CALLED THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY'S RELATIONSHIP CENTER AND RELATED THE ABOVE-STATED CONCERN. THE REPRESENTATIVE WAS VERY ATTENTIVE AND COURTEOUS AND INDICATED THAT HE WOULD FORWARD THIS INFORMATION TO APPROPRIATE DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THE FORD ORGANIZATION. HOWEVER, HE DID NOT FEEL THAT I WOULD BE GETTING ANY RESPONSES. I UNDERSTAND THE YOUNG MAN'S DILEMMA (IT'S A TECHNICAL PROBLEM WHICH NEEDS A TECHNICAL INPUT). I AM STILL WONDERING WHETHER A FORD COMPANY PROGRAMMING CHANGE IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM OR IF MY CONCERN IS JUSTIFIED. I BELIEVE THERE ARE SOME SAFETY ISSUES TO BE ADDRESSED, I.E. SHOULDN'T YOU BE ABLE TO TELL IF YOUR HEADLIGHTS ARE ON BY GLANCING AT YOUR DASH LIGHTS DURING DAYLIGHT STORM CONDITIONS? *TR
