Default 2013 f150 problems?

Anybody had electrical issues with their newer trucks? My truck had the hill decent control fault code on the display. My wife went to the store, the code was there after pulling out of the driveway, then after shopping, the code went away?!? Also, the parking sensors seem intermittent. And lastly any advice on fuel fill door sticking...not the door that is on the body, but the small flap where you put the gas nozzle into the filler neck. I tried filling up the other day and could not get the nozzle in the filler neck. I had to slam the nozzle against it several times before it finally opened up! I didn't think I was going to be able to fill up. I need some help!?!?

It sounds like you have a nice list of things for your dealership to check out, Sgt_Syke. I'm happy to loop in your regional customer service manager as well; just shoot a PM my way with your details (full name, best daytime phone number, VIN, mileage, servicing dealership info) and I'll move this up the line.

Sgt, sorry I can't help you with the electrical problems. But, the problem with the fuel filler neck could have been the gas nozzle at the station. Some have had this problem, and found it wasn't the filler neck. Just a thought.

Thanks for that vid Steve. I will now be on the lookout for these nozzles in my area. No need to get in a pickle because of OPW.


On a side note. If that little news girl called me wanting something, I would walk it to her........

I used the jerry can filler thing that comes with the truck to open it... then the gas station nozzle was able to open right after... soon after I seen a post telling you to inspect the gas nozzle for a pulled off or missing tip... I do remember the nozzle that gave me problems was pulled apart on the end... glad it didn't fall into my tank.

[MENTION=163794]scole[/MENTION], I guess it's like the old saying goes, "If it don't fit, don't force it".

Default Hill Decent Fault, AdvanceTrac, Check Brakes Warnings

So this morning on the way to work, everything was fine and all of the sudden the ABS, BRAKE, and Traction Lights come on with the warnings saying.. Hill Decent Control Fault, Check Brakes, and Service AdvanceTrac. Now being that I live in Maine and it was snowing and raining with an outside temperature of 20 degrees, those are some things that you don't want to stop working in that situation. The truck seems to drive fine I guess but what the hell? Any experience with this?
