| Description of the problem | 1. I am not alone in a complaint about the fuel canister being a problem on the f150- i have complained about this twice now- others in the forum are doing the same. The vapor canister in the engine compartment becomes faulty and the engines stall or runs rough- when it stalls, it is impossible to steer. I grew up without power steering- 97$ out of pocket- dealer couldn't figure it out- had another mechanic diagnose and repair. It's a simple fix- yet can be dangerous if someone with strong arm strength cannot turn the vehicle or use the breaks. This has to be looked at.! I should have been reimbursed! Waiting for someone to get killed is inexcusable- happened with just 35k miles on truck. 2. Seems ford has a mega defect with bad design on their f150 power rear windows with the heat grids going bad- this happened at maybe the same time, and unless i spend 1000 dollars, i have no rear-window defogging- this was nearly a 50k vehicle, and just started to fall apart after the warranty. This is a bad design- if ice and all in the south, many do not have the preparations for this (i grew up in the north). I still can't defrost my rear window), but have a scraper 3. High mount brake light- seems, ford refuses to fix a bad design for faulty high mount third brake light- cheap gasket will fade, and many of use (myself recently) have problems with water dripping inside the cab- 100 plus bucks for a new one? Can't even buy the gasket?? And let's add to the fact the lights are so badly designed, they collect grime/crap and just look like yup. (biggest concern is ruining the interior with water- i had a lot of wet recently- f150 forum is plastered with these problems. The fuel canister making the vesicle stall is dangerous. And i feel ford should address this. (they don't seem to care about improving the other issues in 2018. Shame- no quality!~ |
