The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made an abnormal noise. The contact pulled over, and upon inspection, he noticed that the fuel tank straps were corroded, causing the fuel tank to detach. Additionally, there was a hole in the fuel tank, and fuel was leaking onto the ground. The vehicle was towed to the residence and was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 139,461.

Rear view mirror backup camera flickers and goes on and off while in reverse, sometimes with the screen remaining blank. This can reduce or eliminate the drivers view of what is behind presenting a safety hazard. The driver is unable to see objects behind them. Ford currently has a recall for backup cameras with the same problem on many other Ford Model vehicles. However, the 2010 Ford F150 is not currently on a recall. This is the SECOND 2010 Ford F150 that I have owned that has had this issue and the internet is full of people posting of the same exact issue with the F150.

When put into drive, vehicle unexpectedly accelerated. Could not control or stop the vehicle. The vehicle is no longer available for inspection. The inability to stop the vehicle put myself and other drivers and pedestrians at extreme risk. I am not aware if the vehicle was inspected for cause after the incident. No warnings or symptoms presented themselves at the time of the incident.

Reverse Gear Band broke in transmission

The system that failed was in the steering/gear shaft. The shaft is failing due to corrosion/rust. The vehicle has erratic steering when turning left or right. The steering does not rebound making it difficult to steer the vehicle which can cause a serious crash. I have had the problem with the steering and almost running off into a ditch. Trying to regain steering is difficult as it seems it gets stuck in position (left or right) and heavy when manually trying to control or correct the steering. The engine intake manifold suffer from the same safety issues that causes the corrosion or rusting of the manifold bolts making it very difficult to maintenance /repair cracked manifolds in the vehicle. The culprit as Ford knows it is salty road conditions. I live in Michigan where salt is applied to the roads often to keep roadways open for travel in the winter months. Ford has found remedies for newer model F-150s that suffer the same issues but has not offered remedy for older models such as mine. These trucks should be afforded the same recall privileges as newer vehicles.

An aftermarket LED headlight kit was purchased from a large retailer of these products (Americantrucks.com). After receiving the kit and installing, condensation appeared inside the passenger side headlight. I contacted customer support to let them know of the defect. They told me that the part was not defective and I could take the headlight apart and wipe the inside out if I wanted to. I am concerned that the headlamp will fail in use from corrosion on electrical components exposed to the condensation. These headlights are supposed to be completely sealed.

Cooper Discovery A/T 275/55R20 . The tire is splitting apart on the sidewall. Driver's side left front tire is splitting apart and passenger right rear is also splitting apart. Consulted with a mechanic he said this was extremely dangerous. WARN EVERYONE. This could blow out causing a horrible wreck even death. Purchased the tires from Walmart on 6-17-2021. . Took the truck to Walmart. Walmart told me to return tomorrow because they didn't have anyone there that could make a decision. Please check your tires. These tires have only been installed on my truck for 52 days. Inspect your tires. Research tire companies before you purchase tires. I thought Cooper was a good tire. I was wrong. After I realized my tires had started splitting on the sidewall earlier. Today. I knew this was serious. Googled Cooper tire splitting. Cooper tire has had many incidents in the past with this type issue..Reading this will hopefully save someone from serious injury or death.

SEATBELT CHIME/ ALARM IS DEFECTIVE. SEE ALL YOUTUBE VIDEOS SHOWING SO. SEATBELT LIGHT AND CHIME CONTINUOUSLY STAY ON AND CHIME ALARM CONTINUOUSLY RINGS EVEN WHILE SEATBELTS ARE ON & LOCKED IN POSITION. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING AND A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR DRIVERS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE IT GO OFF/ WORK CORRECTLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS SEATBELT CHIME IS DEFECTIVE IS BOTH WHEN DRIVING / IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. BODY/WINDSHIELD AREA STRUCTURAL DEFECT- THERE IS A HOLE/OPENING THAT ALLOWS RAIN/ WATER TO LEAK INTO INTERIOR OF TRUCK, LEAKING WATER INSIDE TRUCK INTERIOR FROM UPPER BUILD SEAM, THROUGH THE GRAB HANDLE LOCATED AT SIDE OF WINDSHIELD IN FRONT OF FRONT PASSENGER, THEN LIQUID DRIPS DOWN ONTO CARPETED FLOORBOARD. THIS BODY STRUCTURE DEFECTIVE OPENING/ HOLE IS LOCATED SOMEWHERE BETWEEN UPPER WINDSHIELD SEAM AND THE INTERIOR FRONT PASSENGER GRAB HANDLE AT WINDSHIELD FRAME. WATER DRIPS THROUGH THIS HANDLE. THIS WINDSHIELD LEAK DEFECT OCCURS WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION AND WHEN STATIONARY. ELECTRICAL/IGNITION SWITCH- TURNING ON TRACK WITH IGNITION KEY, IGNITION SWITCH DOES NOT ALWAYS PERFORM CORRECTLY. IT OFTEN DISALLOWS THE AC, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, AND BACKUP CAMERA TO WORK, WHILE EVERYTHING ELSE IS WORKING. BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE MAY BE WORKING, THE DRIVER MAY NOT NOTICE THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS BEEN TURNED ON INCORRECTLY.THIS DEFECT, ESPECIALLY THE BACK UP CAMERA NOT WORKING, AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS, IS DANGEROUS. THE SWITCH SHOULD BE MADE TO CONSISTENTLY WORK AT ALL TIMES THE SAME WAY. THIS DEFECT IS NOTICED WHEN STATIONARY, BUT OFTEN WHEN IT'S TOO LATE AND IN MOTION.
