two issues..

So I have two issues with my 2012 f150 5.0l.. First being the quick connect connecter coming from my radiator fill bottle is leaking... any one else have this problem, also whats the best fix. replace the hose? is there an o ring in them that goes bad? any input would be much appreciated. Second issue is that my radio control on my steering wheel acts up. The forward button to change channels up some times works, but 99.99999% instead of changing it forwad it goes back and then hit it again and it goes back 2 presets, then it might go forward one then back another 2...its rather frustrating. The backwards button works just fine its only the forward side...


Thanks in advanced.

Welcome to the forum, TravisV! I'd suggest getting both of these issues into the hands of your local Ford Dealership. Once they've checked things out, I'll be able to research some options to help as well. How many miles are on your truck?

66,xxx miles... I guess ultimately that would be the best... just I hate the local dealers, seams they never want to help. that's why I drove over an hr to a different one... plus I'm one of them "its not done right unless I do it" type of people when it comes to my truck...

Thanks for the quick reply, TravisV. I'll continue to monitor this thread to see when you get a diagnosis from your dealer.
