| 2010 ford f-150. consumer writes in regards to a complaint with vehicle dealership . *smd the consumer stated in january 2012, he started to hear an incessant high pitched squeaking noise coming from the rear driver's side of the vehicle. the dealer informed the consumer the squeaking noise was coming from the tailgate latch assembly on the driver's side. the dealer stated they lubricated both sides and was road tested and the noise was gone. the service rep, then gave the consumer a tube of silicone that was used primarily for brake components and informed the consumer, if the noise returned, lubricate the tailgate latch. for awhile, there was no noise coming from the vehicle. approximately two weeks later, the noise had returned. the consumer went to another dealer, to have the vehicle inspected. the dealer informed the consumer, that the previous dealer provided him with the wrong type of lubricant and the dealer reassured him the problem had been resolved. however, two months later, the noise had returned again. the consumer returned to the dealer again, where they chose to lubricate the tailgate latch assembly for the third time. the consumer stated he had other issues with the vehicle that were corrected, such as the right rear shock, the transmission slip yoke, a loose fuel door and a rattling noise in the driver's side door panel. | |||

| We have experienced six different instances since december where the engine would completely shut down while in motion. range of speed at time of incident has been between 5 - 40 mph. on january 23, 2011, while driving at 40 mph down a windy hill, the vehicle flashed the wrench light then completely shut down causing a loss of power steering. as a result, i had a near miss of a head on collision with another vehicle in the oncoming lane as the truck i was driving veered into the oncoming traffic because i was unable to immediately regain control. typically the truck can be put into park then turned back on but not in this case. the latest stall of the engine occurred on february 9, 2011 while making a turn in a grocery store parking lot. the vehicle was towed to a dealer on january 23, 2011 and the dealer indicated that the could not duplicate the problem and the computer reading did not show faulty equipment. in addition, i am experience a problem with the fuel gauge. even after completely filling up the vehicle, the gauge does not read as full. there are functional problems with this vehicle. as a mother with two children who is the primary driver of the vehicle, i am terrified of the potential for a fatal accident to occur. there are numerous web page/blogs where drivers across the country have described these same issues. ford needs to do something. | |||
