Really?
This is not even funny anymore.

This is nit picking but there were 2015's built between Jan. 24, 2014, and Feb. 26, 2014?

Great Scott, back to the future with GM ignition key problems!!!!!

2,100 out of 600,000 trucks is not great, but not horrible.

0.35% failure rate. Whole truck must be junk

Shouldn't have clicked on this, that big ol 1980's front end makes me puke even after seeing it for two years now.

They just need to bring back the button in the floor beside the accelerator pedal. Just turn the key one notch and step on the button in the floor. Maybe they can get it right that way.

How hard can it be to make an ignition switch? They've been around for decades. Instead of floor mounted, put a start button on the dash. Even gm might get that right

WOW, and we tax payers bailed these idiots out

You all can knock gm, but the fact of the matter is they are the most reliable american truck on the road :)

It's good to see GM fixing the problem.

When one looks at an automobile and the complexity of designing and manufacturing one it is quite easy to see how these issues arise.

The manufacturers have pressure to produce the "best" at a price that is really quite cheap.

Many do complain about the prices charged for vehicles, but do these people rarely look at what is involved in the design and engineering of a vehicle.

Sooner or later to cost of stepping into a vehicle will rise. This will be due to the cost of rectifying flaws and errors caused during design and manufacture.

These recalls do cost the company lots of dollars. Someone has to pay for these repairs.

As the regulators continually strive to tighten and improve vehicles will impact recalls.

I wonder how much of a vehicles retail price is made up of the cost of recalls?

Pretty funny to see people say "not another recall" or "we bailed them out" but when a Ford is recalled those fan boys say how good it is that they recalled it etc.

Get over it, every manufacturer has recalls, it a fix that they have found a problem with.

This is a tiny amount of vehicles affected, unlike every ecobust engine that was recalled...

I haven't heard old Chucky boy talking about 3rd quarter earnings?? That must be because GM destroyed it with their 3rd quarter earnings and Chucky never likes good GM news...

So in other news, Toyota is recalling 6.5 million vehicles world wide from 06-08 model years due to faulty switches. This includes the Tundra...

Hahaha more GM trash! Send these faulty pieces of crap to the crusher! Send the Ford's with their faulty brakes and Fiat's with front ends that fall apart too! Toyota is the heartbeat of America!

But it's a freakin ignition switch. It ain't rocket science. As for reliability, 40 year old trucks under 4, 6 if you count Fargo and Plymouth, nameplates are still running around. I doubt that any truck made today will last that long

Toyota the heartbeat? Hahahahaha hahahahaha millions recalled for window switches that could, and have caught fire. Toyota, the heart attack causing company. You deserved that

Ecobust is right on this one.

How many times is Ford going to have to "fix" the stalling, misfiring ecoboost. They keep putting bandaids on top of bandaids. I was told my sparkplugs need to be replaced every 20k miles because the tips melt off and the insulator cracks. Ford tells me it's normal. Meanwhile I try to merge onto the freeway and my engine stalls out even though they "fixed it" with the plate on my intercooler. Now I start my truck in the morning and it rattles like crazy. Ford tech tells me my timing chain is worn out at 63k miles and $1800 to fix.

Sure am glad the government gave interest free bailout loans to Ford for this ecojunk.

GM! Really? This getting a little embarrassing.

@Anders, kinda hard to believe your story to start with. And if by a very slim chance its true then get rid of it. Don't put up with it. If you have that much trouble with something then why keep it??? Just not a believable story to start with.

@anything but a ecoboost, were these recalls posted on this site? Don't remember seeing them but maybe you can enlighten me a little. Most recalls like that are posted on here and other sites. Don't remember seeing them though.

You all can knock gm, but the fact of the matter is they are the most reliable american truck on the road :)

Toyota has that honors. But the fact of the matter is, is this is not a big recall by anymeans. Affects very few trucks and was not swept under the rug from I can see. My guess some dealers were reporting issues and engineers were watching the warranty repairs. Once the switch were inspected it was deemed necessary for a recall.

I think overall GM does have a good product lineup in the pickup segement, unsurpassed by any other manufacturer in the US.

Ford has screwed up with the overly expensive aluminium F-150. This has reduced the probability of the Ranger entering the US market to compete, as it would canabalise to may aluminium F-150s.

Ford will eventually have to bring on the Ranger in the US. Hopefully by then they can be imported from another non NAFTA country.

Recalls, all vehicles have recalls. I do think it is far better for a voluntary recall like this, then wait until people are maimed and killed.

@LMAO, notice I said American truck ;)

I just got a recall in the mail for my 2014 ram 3500. Its about the track bar mount for the front axle, insufficient weld that may break, but nothing to repair with. I still have to go i. For the air bag wiring issue in the steering wheel, wire chaffing. My g56 trans has a leak and my front axle is a tire killer. Love my truck, but my 04 silverado 1500 i bought did better than this for quality build.

By the way, where is the article postings for these recall's?

Evan
Toyota is the most American made and most American parts content. Gm pickups are more foreign then most other pickups.

@BAFO. Please enlighten me on what you know about how the F-150 is manufactured. I would bet you do not know jack. Go back to the bush. No one here is more of a Hippocrate than you. I challenge you knowledge. Consider yourself called out

Hey rob, go into the archives if there are any here. Whole list of Dodge recalls that the brand x boys had great fun ridiculing. Gotta hand it to putc, they don't ignore recall notices. I do see that when someone's favorite brand has a recall the excuses come out quickly, followed by pointing to other makes problems.

What's a hippocrate?

@LMAO, notice I said American truck ;)

If you can buy it in merica that is good enough for me. A reliable truck in America is a reliable truck in America. Any brand sources parts all over the world so there is no one true American truck.

It's called typing on the phone issues DB

@LMAO, notice I said American truck ;)

Posted by: Evan | Oct 21, 2015 6:21:29 PM

FYI, consumer reports also does not agree it is the most reliable american brand truck.

BAFO. Yup typical answer. At least with Ecobust's his response I can respect and agree with, but your response about GM is doing good etc then the next post is how bad the f150 is. GIMME a break. Stop with this crap. What will you say once GM goes aluminum?? That they use a better process to manufacture it so it is awesome. Stop sucking the teet of GM.

As for you hope its out of Nafta...I want the truck no matter the make to source parts from NAFTA, preferably from the US or Canada. I don't need to pay hefty extra costs in shipping crappy parts or vehicles from down under.

@LMAO, yes alot of parts come from around the globe but the more nafta made parts means more jobs closer to home.

Lmao you are so right. Even on big cat motors there was an intake pipe and cast in the top where everyone can see was made in China. Pickups may be made in America but if you dig you will find made in China and Mexico and other low wage countries all over it

LMAO you're exactly right! Toyota is tops for reliability. The UAW clones like ROADRAM just can't handle it!

Uaw clone? You're a jerk for saying that. I was in the teamsters once because I had to and all they did was take my money. Unions blow and I have first hand knowledge. If all car plants left their ancestral home and moved down south so much the better. You can take your uaw clone insult and stick it. 6.5 million recalled for window switch meltdowns. Suck on that a while

Never had any trouble with my 2014 xl f250 4x4 6.2
Gas mileage suxs but who buys a truck for gas mileage

@ anders
if you are telling the truth, get rid of it, you have a lemon, i have 2 ecoboosts and they run flawlessly, one in a car and one in a truck, i do not replace the plugs every 20k.

looks like GM learned there lesson on ignition recalls and recalled right away, good to see, kinda sad they are even dealing with another problem, you would think this is one recall they never want to appear again and would triple check they are all good lol

Another typical recall for a typical small mistake, isolated to a single part (possibly even vendor vendor related) handled voluntarily/quickly without serious incident or even injury on a relatively small number of vehicles. In other words how business as usual in the car industry is/should be done by ALL manufacturers all the time as they ALL experience such things. I guess GM learned something from the small car ignition switch DISASTER.

@bigal, so are you saying you are now against aluminum again and not the way Ford went about it? AS their sales continue to to increase, what do you mean expensive? When all others go to aluminum what will the excuse be then?

Gee--em Gee--unk !!

@LMAO, i fully agree, i go out of my way to buy things that are made in the U.S. I wont buy a Crew Cab Chevy cause they are assembled in mexico. But come on man, we both know consumer reports is not a credible source for reliability. I go by what people are saying. Dodge is known for garbage front ends, Hemi tick, bad trans, and over all poor quality. Ford is known for manifold leaks, launching spark plugs, unnecessarily heavy trucks, fires and ecoboost problems. Pre 2004, chevys were known to have rust problems and isolated cases of piston slap. Other than that, GM makes a pretty solid truck. But at any rate, I love all of these trucks. I think we all can agree that there is something special about driving a truck.

evan you may want to rethink what you said, your applying issues in the past to present vehicles
dodge trannies have improved and are not the issues they once were, ford ecoboosts had a hesitation on a few models that was fixed with software, not sure on your fire comment? GM ford and dodge have all had fires from one cause or another, spark plug launching i am assuming you are talking about the 5.4 motors that did not have enough thread to hold them in properly ? that was fixed a long time ago and they dont even make the motor anymore, GM kills people with ignition problems, tanks on the side of their trucks used to kill alot of people...you could have a slew of problems for every make, so......

Dean, How else are you supposed to gauge reliability? You look at the older trucks that have had miles put on them. Time and time again, GM has proved to me anyways, that they can build a truck that will give me the least problems. Oh and i forgot to mention the 5.3's in chevys used a lot of oil from the displacement on demand. No truck is perfect by any means, but i personally have had the best luck with GM trucks.

Also Dean, ford's "fix" was not software, it was a plastic cover that went over half the inter-cooler. Hardly a fix in my eyes.

It's nice to see that they're addressing the ignition switch problem, but it feels like it's been going on for a little bit too long...

apparently it worked evan, how is it not a fix? and yes there was a software change made for it which may have been just part of the fix, unless the article i read was wrong or lying.

i do not disagree that GM trucks are pretty good none the less

F150s have been the Most American Made except for 2012 when it took 2nd place. This year no pickup made the list so we don't technically know how they rank. But it was said the Ford is 70% American. The Tundra fell below that.

Even, CR is a lot more credible than you or anyone on this site. Theye take 3/4 of a million customers filled out surveys to try and get the most accurate data on reliability that they can. The reliably reports are likely the best we could get based on their methods. Now reviews you have to take with a grain of salt. They do highlight the highs and lows they feel but everyone is different and wants different things. JD Power does reliability reports but I'm not sure what their methods are.

Word of mouth is not a great way to judge reliability either. Every Dodge in my familitary was junk, my company is no longer buying those products, but to be fair we have over 250 vehicles in our fleet so those records are pretty iron clad pieces of data. My family is mostly Ford owners and trouble free. Even my sisters F350 with a 6.0L with over 250 on it. Valve covers have never been off. Ourban GM vehicles have also been really reliable.

Forums like this are really a group of 10 or 12 people posting mostly garbage. Nothing more than pure entertainment with not actual merit.

LMAO, I thought that CR only took in Initial quality survey's

Most recalled vehicles in past 25yrs.
F150 is number 1 by landslide 6 million more than 2nd place the accord. the ram made the list at number 10. What i dont see is a gm truck in the list.
