2015 Ford F-150 complaints

I NOTICED A SMALL ROUND PLASTIC PART ON MY DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR MAT THAT APPEARED TO BE A FLAT DISK BROKEN IN SEVERAL PIECES. SEE PHOTO. I DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT IT AT THE TIME. A WHILE LATER MY NEIGHBOR SAID MY BRAKES LIGHTS WERE ON AND MY TRUCK HAD BEEN PARKED FOR A QUITE SOME TIME. AFTER NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO GO OUT AND SOME INTERNET QUERIES I WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE AND CONFIRM THE SMALL PLASTIC DISK CAME OFF THE TOP OF THE BRAKE PEDAL WHERE IT WOULD MAKE CONTACT WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. AS SMALL OF A PART AS IT IS, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE AFFECTED AND THE HILL ASSIST FUNCTION WARNING WAS COMING ON AS WELL. AFTER CHECKING FORD DOES NOT SELL THE TINY PLASTIC DISK, WORTH ABOUT 5 DOLLARS, BUT WILL SELL THE ENTIRE BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY FOR HUNDREDS. OTHER AUTO MANUFACTURERS SELL THE DISK CALLED A BRAKE PEDAL STOP PAD. THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING ON OTHER FORDS AS I WAS ABLE TO FIND EXAMPLES LIKE MINE ON THE INTERNET. THERE SHOULD BE A BETTER DESIGNED PART OR BRAKE PEDAL TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 94, IN MINNESOTA, I APPLIED MY BRAKES TO SLOW MY VEHICLE DOWN FOR A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. IN DOING SO, A WARNING ON MY DASHBOARD APPEARED SAYING, "BRAKE FLUID LOW". AT THAT TIME, MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR, DRASTICALLY EFFECTING MY STOPPING ABILITY. MY EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NEEDED TO STOP MY VEHICLE. AS I TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE BRAKE FLUID WAS GOING, I WAS UNABLE TO FIND A LEAK. WITH MORE RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER, MAKING THE FRONT BRAKES ENTIRELY INOPERABLE. I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED, AND OR REPLACED WITHOUT ANY LUCK.

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS HAVE WARPED CAUSING STUDS TO BREAK LEADING TO AN EXHAUST LEAK. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE ENGINES. IT PRODUCES A SQUEALING NOISE UNDER ACCELERATION

TRUCK ENGINE GOES TO ROUGH IDLE WHILE DRIVING, HAVE TO SHUT ENGINE OFF, RESTART. NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS MIGHT HAPPEN OR AT WHAT SPEED. LOCAL FORD DEALER UNABLE TO FIND PROBLEM.HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES

WHILE DRIVING ON CROWDED HIGHWAY IN BOSTON AREA, TRUCK LOST ENGINE POWER. DASH GAVE FOLLOWING WARNINGS: SEE MANUAL, SERVICE ADVANCETRAC, HILL DESCENT CONTROL FAULT, HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE. AFTER EMERGENTLY SWITCHING LANES WITH NO ENGINE POWER, I SHUT THE TRUCK DOWN, PAUSED, AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THIS HAPPENED ~20 TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET IT FIXED. THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY FORD EVEN THOUGH I CONSIDER THIS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD.

LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND ONLY 82,000 MILES ON MY 2015 F150, THE VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE BECAUSE OF AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE BETWEEN THE GAS PEDAL AND THROTTLE BODY. THIS HAS LEFT ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH MY 6 WEEK OLD BABY IN THE BACK SEAT. DOING RESEARCH, IT APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2015 F150S AND IS CAUSING MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS, BUT YET NO RECALL. WHEN DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND SLOWS TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE ROAD. WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE THE DASH AND VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE, LEAVING US ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 FORD F150 ON A CITY STREET AT 45 MILES PER HOUR THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION, RMP DROPPED TO BARELY 2 AND HILL ASSIST DISABLED LIGHT CAME ON. GLIDED TO A RED LIGHT, PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, CAME TO A STOP AND KEPT THE GAS LIGHTLY PRESSED HOPING TO KEEP POWER TO THE ENGINE. WHEN LIGHTED TURNED GREEN PUT TRUCK BACK INTO DRIVE AND ACCELERATION RETURNED. PARKED AT MY PLACE OF BUSINESS. SHUT THE TRUCK OFF BUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAYED ON. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF CONCERN TO DRIVE IT AFTER LOSING ACCELERATION (TOW TRUCK DRIVER CALL THE VEHICLE IN LIMP MODE). THE DEALERSHIP FOUND NOT FAULT CODES BUT DID FIND PLASTIC PIECES ON THE FLOOR BOARD. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A "BROKEN BRAKE PEDAL" - A SMALL PLASTIC DISC (GROMMET) INSIDE THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY BROKE INTO PIECES CAUSING LOSS F ACCELERATION, THE ELECTRONIC MESSAGING SYSTEM TO DISABLE HILL ASSIST AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THIS IN FORD FUSIONS BUT NOT IN AN F150. THE NEW BRAKE ASSEMBLY IS A TOTAL REDESIGN FROM THE THE ONE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT WITH. THE IMAGE ON THE LEFT IS THE BROKEN BRAKE ASSEMBLE (THE FINGER IS POINTING TO THE DAMAGED ITEM), THE PART ON THE RIGHT WHERE YOU WILL SEE THE SMALL WHITE DISC (GROMMET) IS THE REPLACEMENT BRAKE ASSEMBLY. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2015 AND HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER. MY VEHICLE HAS 54K MILES, IS DRIVEN LOCALLY, NOT USED TO TOW OR OFF ROAD AND IS GARAGED WHEN NOT IN USE. A VEHICLE LOOSING ACCELE

ON JULY 24, 2020 WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 291 DRIVING 45-50MPH WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION. I THOUGHT I WAS REAR ENDED. SIMULTANEOUSLY THE REAR TIRES LOCKED UP WHILE APPROACHING A WORK ZONE. I SKIDDED UNCONTROLLABLY FOR APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET. ULTIMATELY CAME TO REST ON THE SHOULDER. AS MY FAMILY AND I EXITED THE VEHICLE THERE WAS HEAVY SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR AND UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WE THOUGHT THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. THE STATE POLICE ARRIVED ON THE SCENE WITHIN 5 MINUTES UPON US EXITING THE VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR SO THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE FLAT BEDDED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP, MARCOTTE FORD, HOLYOKE MA. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THE REAR END FAILED AND LOCKED UP. UPON THEIR TEST DRIVE I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A TOTAL FAILURE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID THEY HAD TO WAIT FOR A DECISION FROM FORD TO EITHER REBUILD OR REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. AUGUST 19, 2020 I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT AND THAT I COULD PICK UP THE VEHICLE. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY PRIOR PHONE CALLS FROM THEM TO INFORM ME OF WHAT WAS GOING TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 85 MPH, THE LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO IDLE THE VEHICLE SPEED TO SLOW DOWN UNTIL HE WAS ABLE TO USE THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LOCAL DEALER CENTRAL FORD LOCATED AT 5645 FIRESTONE BLVD, SOUTH GATE, CA 90280, (562) 927-7888, AND THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE VIN WAS ASSOCIATED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V332000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

WHEN I APPLIED BRAKE PEDAL IT WENT TO THE FLOOR . I DROVE TO FORD DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN BEFORE I GOT HOME. FORD SERVICE TECHNITION SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR THIS PROBLEM.

THE "MOON ROOF" ON THE TRUCK WHEN I WENT TO OPEN IT BECAME "JAMMED" AND WOULD NOT GO BACK TO CLOSED POSITION NOR WOULD IT OPEN THEREFORE IT WAS (THE PASSENGER SIDE) NOT AN AIR/WATER TIGHT SEAL. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR A $2300 REPAIR. THE REPAIR, TO THIS DAY IS STILL NOT 100% CORRECT. IN LOOKING ON LINE MINE IS NOT THE ONLY TRUCK THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THE MECHANICS OF IT AS I HAVE OPEN AND CLOSED THE MOON ROOF, AT THE MAXIMUM OF, 12 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED IN 2016, SOMETHING IS JUST NOT RIGHT WITH THAT FEATURE TO BE USED SO SELDOM AND WHEN IT BREAKS DOWN THE COST BEING SO EXTREME.

MOVING MY TRUCK INTO LANE OF TRAFFIC OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY; WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND THE ON BOARD NOTIFICATION SYSTEM ON THE DASH STATED "LOW BRAKE FLUID" AND I HAD ALMOST NO BRAKING CAPABILITY. I HAD NO INDICATION OF THIS PRIOR TO THAT AND IF I HAD NOT APPLIED MY EMERGENCY BRAKE ON I WOULD HAVE ENTERED THE LANE OF TRAFFIC AND VEHICLES WERE COMING FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS AND IT VERY EASILY COULD HAVE TURNED INTO AN MVA WITH INJURIES SUSTAINED BOTH IN MY TRUCK AND PERSONS DRIVING ON MY STREET. I STILL HAVE NO BRAKES AND I HAVE FILLED MY RESERVOIR WITH DOT 4 BRAND NEW BOTTLE OF BRAKE FLUID.

TOXIC FUMES IN CAB WHILE DRIVING AFTER TURNING ON REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER. PULLED OVER, ABANDONED VEHICLE AND THE A LOW BANK AND THE REAR WINDOWS SHATTERED

WHEN ACCELERATING , THERE IS A LOUD CHIRPING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS HAVE WARPED. VERY ANNOYING SOUND AND LOSS OF POWER. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG OTHER OWNERS OF THE 3.5 ECO BOOST. VERY DISAPPOINTING.

THE BRAKING SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED WITH VIRTUALLY NO WARNING. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE "LOW BRAKE FLUID" LIGHT APPEARED. THERE HAD BEEN NO MECHANICAL SIGNS OF ANY ISSUES. WHEN I EXITED THE INTERSTATE THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO A STOP WITHOUT HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME ON THE OFF RAMP. FORD HAS NOW RELEASED A RECALL ON THIS BUT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX IT YET. I'M NOT SURE IF OR WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO FOR MY VEHICLE BUT I WANTED TO FILE THE REPORT GIVEN THE EXTREME RISK THIS FAILURE POSES. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO NOT END UP IN A COLLISION.

MY TRUCK WAS SERVICED WITH COMPLETE FLUIDS AND SYSTEMS CHECK ON JULY 2ND, 2020 REPORTING EVERYTHING IN THE GREEN CHECK ZONE. SATURDAY AUGUST 1ST, 2020 WHILE RETURNING FROM A FAMILY TRIP, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING A BRAKE PROBLEM. THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO ENSURE THAT THEY WERE WORKING AND WHEN APPLIED, THERE WAS NO BRAKING POWER AND THE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. WHEN WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO STOP WE ROLLED INTO A GAS STATION AND OPENED THE HOOD TO CHECK THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS EMPTY. SO WE PURCHASED TWO BOTTLES OF BRAKE FLUID TO REFILL THE RESERVOIR THINKING THAT MAYBE THE SERVICE PERSON FORGOT TO REFILL THE BRAKE FLUID. ONCE WE FILLED THE RESERVOIR AND PUMPED THE BRAKES A BIT THEY GOT TIGHT SO WE GOT BACK ON THE ROAD. AS SOON AS WE PULLED ONTO THE ROAD AND BEGAN TO DRIVE THE BRAKE WARNING SIGNAL CAME ON AGAIN. AGAIN, WE PULLED OVER TO CHECK FOR LEAKS, WHICH THERE WERE NONE. AND AGAIN, THE BRAKE RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY. AGAIN WE PURCHASE MORE BRAKE FLUID AND ADDITIONAL BOTTLES AND REFILL THE RESERVOIR TO THE FILL LINE. WE DROVE AROUND THE PARKING LOT QUITE A BIT BEFORE WE DECIDED TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD DUE TO THE VEHICLE SEEMING TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. AT THIS POINT WE ENTER THE HIGHWAY AND DROVE TO OUR AREA NEAR THE DEALER. WHEN EXITING THE HIGHWAY A GREAT DEAL OF SMOKE CAME FROM THE BACK OF OUR CAR THAT SMELLED LIKE BRAKE FLUID. WE PULLED OVER AND AGAIN THERE WAS NOTHING LEAKING. WE STILL SEEMED TO HAVE SOME BREAKING ABILITY SO DROVE THE TRUCK T

WHILE TURNING AND ACCELERATING ONTO A TWO LANE HIGHWAY WHILE TOWING, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND THE INSTRUMENT CONSOLE DISPLAYED WARNING MESSAGE, "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC." AS I WAS ACCELERATING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC AT THE TIME OF POWER LOSS, AN UNSAFE CONDITION WAS CREATED AS THE SEMI-TRUCK I PULLED IN FRONT OF NOW HAD TO MAKE EVASIVE MOVEMENTS TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH MY NOW DISABLED TRUCK AND TRAILER IN THE ROADWAY. POWER CAME BACK ON WITH RESTART OF THE TRUCK, BUT ONLY FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE SAME LOSS OF POWER AND FAULT MESSAGE. THE CODE P2112 WAS PULLED FROM THE OBD2 READER AND IT WAS DETERMINED THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM WAS IN FACT FIXED WITH REPLACEMENT OF THE THROTTLE BODY.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY PULLING A TRAILER THE VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON WITH A WARNING THAT STATED "SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK AND HILL ASSIST IS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE THEN LOST ALL POWER CAUSING ME TRY ATTEMPT TO CROSS TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT ANY ENGINE POWER. AFTER STOPPING THE ENGINE WAS SHUDDERING. THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE TOWED INTO A DEALER TO BE FIXED.THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY HAD FAILED CAUSING THE ENGINE TO GO INTO "LIMP" MODE(WHAT EVER THAT IS). THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO HAVE HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT CALLED GROOVE FORD LOCATED AT 10039 E. ARAPAHOE RD, CENTENNIAL, CO 80112, (720) 466-2895, TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 41,980.

ENGINE LOST POWER SUDDENLY AND STALLED, I HAD A WRENCH LAMP COME UP WITH THE FOLLOWING FAULTS: SERVICE ADVANCETRAC/ HILL DESCENT CONTROL FAULT. THIS HAPPENED ON A BRIDGE ON A HIGHWAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY. I PRESSED THE THROTTLE BUT THE ENGINE WENT INTO "LIMP" MODE, NO RESPONSE FROM THE THROTTLE WHATSOEVER. ALMOST GOT HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK FROM THE REAR. TOOK IT TO FORD, FOR 2 WEEKS THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. THEY PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND SAID IT'S GOOD TO GO. THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN 2 DAYS LATER WHEN I WAS CLOSE TO WORK. STOPPED BY A LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE SHOP SINCE I DIDN'T WANT TO DRIVE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. WE READ THE CODE AND IT SHOWED A "P2112 THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK CLOSED". I GOT A NEW THROTTLE BODY INSTALLED FOR 376$, AND NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM AGAIN. APPARENTLY IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD F150S MADE IN SPECIFIC DATES. DID SOME DIGGING, FORD ISSUED A TECHINCAL BULLETIN TSB 16-0139 WITH THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY SIMILAR TO RECALL 13N03 ' THROTTLE BODY EXTENDED COVERAGE ' 2009-2013 FORD & MERCURY I TOOK THE OLD THROTTLE BODY APART, THERE WAS A LOT OF OIL BUILDUP INSIDE THAT INTERFERED WITH THE MOTOR CONTROLLING THE BUTTERFLY VALVE.

THIS VEHICLE EXPERIENCES EXACTLY THE SAME CHARACTERISTICS AS THE FOLLOWING NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V614000 YET IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAS ACTED IN THIS WAY AT LEAST 10 TIMES, THE MOST RECENT ON JUNE 24, 2020. THE VEHICLE MAY FALL JUST OUTSIDE THE PREVIOUSLY DETERMINED MANUFACTURE DATE WINDOW THAT DETERMINED THE RECALL POOL. FORD WILL NOT PERFORM THE SOFTWARE UPDATE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM AS THE VEHICLE IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. PLEASE RECONSIDER THE VEHICLES INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL AS MINE MAY HAVE BEEN MISSED IN ERROR. SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V614000 UNEXPECTED BRAKING USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL A VEHICLE THAT UNEXPECTEDLY BRAKES INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED OPERATE AS DESIGNED EXTENDING THE BRAKING DISTANCE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO COUNTY FORD (18411 LYNDON B JOHNSON FREE WAY, MESQUITE TX 75150), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,000.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH AND OUT OF NO WHERE THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH SCREEN. PUSHED ON THE BRAKE AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR, PUMPING THE BRAKE DID NOT HELP. WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY DOWN SHIFT AND STOP WITH THE E BRAKE. LUCKY I WAS NOT IN ANY TRAFFIC.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD EARLY IN THE MORNING AND LOST BOTH FRONT AND BACK BRAKES. WHEN THE BRAKE WAS PRESSED DOWN COMPLETELY THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP; PUMPING THE BRAKE CAUSED THE TRUCK TO SLOW BUT NOT QUICKLY. WE SAW AN EMPTY MALL AREA AND HEADED TOWARDS THE PARKING LOT AND COASTED TO A STOP. HAD WE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY OR LATER IN THE DAY DURING TRAFFIC THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WE WERE DRIVING ON A 2 LANE ROAD IN A CITY AREA GOING ABOUT 40 MPH. WE WERE VERY VERY LUCKY - THIS COULD EASILY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. LOCAL BRAKE COMPANY WERE ABLE TO GET THE BRAKES WORKING AND WE DROVE THE TRUCK BACK TO THE HOUSE - A FEW HOUR DRIVE. RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE RECALL ABOUT 3-4 DAYS AFTER THE BRAKES FAILED AND WE DID NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK. WE CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD US NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE THE FIX HAD NOT BEEN SOLVED BY FORD, WE ASKED IF THE TRUCK WAS DRIVABLE AND THEY COULD NOT ANSWER AS THE RECALL IS UNCLEAR. WE ASKED THE DEALER IF WE COULD DROP TRUCK OFF AND THEY COULD FIX AND THEY TOLD US NO BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE PARTS AND DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE FIX WAS GOING TO BE. CALLED FORD AND TALKED TO A CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON AND THEY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM TAKE THE TRUCK SINCE NEITHER FORD OR THE DEALER COULD TELL US IF THE TRUCK WAS DRIVABLE. THE DEALER TOLD US THEY WOULD LOOK AT THE TRUCK TO DETERMINE IF THE TRUCK WAS DRIVABLE - THAT WAS JUNE 27, 2020 AND WE HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM DEALER. CALLED DEALER AGAIN ON 07.16.20 AND TALKED AND THEY STIL

MALLOY FORD IN WINCHESTER, VA JUST NOTIFIED ME THAT THEY RECOMMEND THAT THE NEXT TIME THE WHEELS ARE REMOVED THAT ALL 24 OF THE LUG NUTS BE REPLACED FOR $160.00. I KNOW FROM MY PREVIOUS 2009 FORD F150 THAT THE LUG NUTS ARE MADE IN TWO PIECES AND THAT THEY CORRODE AND EXPAND AND EVENTUALLY THE SOCKET WRENCH WILL NOT FIT THE NUT. IMAGINE HAVING A FLAT TIRE ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOT BEING ABLE TO REMOVE THE WHEEL TO CHANGE THE TIRE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR A LEAST ELEVEN YEARS AND I BELIEVE LONGER. I HAD TO REPLACE THE LUG NUTS ON MY 2009 F150. THE TECH TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD GO ONLINE AND FIND (NON FORD) ONE PIECE LUG NUT REPLACEMENTS BECAUSE FORD'S DESIGN WILL ONLY CORRODE AGAIN. WHY IS THIS STILL HAPPENING?

WHILE DRIVING 60 ON A 2 LANE RURAL HIGHWAY, THE CLUSTER LIGHTS UP WITH 'HILL ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE' AND ENGINE LOSES POWER AND TRUCK STARTS SHAKING EVEN WHEN STOPPED. TURNED TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON AND WORKED FINE. HAPPENED ONCE MORE AND NOW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON.

WE RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 20S31/NHTSA RECALL 20V-332 ON OUR 2015 FORD F-150. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE IS WILLING TO REPLACE OUR MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER UNDER THE RECALL UNTIL IT ACTUALLY FAILS, OR WE SEE THE RED BRAKE WARNING SIGNAL ETC. CONSIDERING WE USE THE TRUCK TO PULL OUR 6,000 LB. 25FT. AIRSTREAM WE DON'T FEEL IT IS A SAFE SITUATION TO TAKE THE CHANCE OF PULLING THE AIRSTREAM AND JUST WAITING TO SEE IF THE BRAKE FAILS. WE MAY BE HOURS FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP WHEN IT HAPPENS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH FORD FOR THEIR SEEMING INDIFFERENCE & WILLINGNESS TO JUST WAIT UNTIL PEOPLE CRASH INTO OTHER CARS AND DO BODILY HARM BEFORE THEY WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF FIXING AN OBVIOUS SAFETY RECALL ISSUE. NEVER BEFORE HAVE WE EVER HAD A RECALL NOTICE WHERE WE HAD FIRST TO PROVE OUR VEHICLE HAD FAILED BEFORE THEY FIXED THE RECALL ISSUE. EVERYONE KEPT TELLING ME THAT ONLY A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE VEHICLES THAT RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE THE BRAKES FAIL, SO WHY WORRY? JUST KEEP DRIVING & HOPE FOR THE BEST? THE LETTER SAYS IT'S DUE TO A PART SHORTAGE & WE'D BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, BUT THE DEALER & AN FORD OPERATIONS SUPERVISOR SAID THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER WOULD NOT BE FIXED ON OUR VEHICLE UNLESS THE VEHICLE WAS EXHIBITING SYMPTOMS, REGARDLESS OF THE SAFETY RECALL. I'VE WASTED A WEEK OF MY LIFE TALKING TO FORD, AND WAITING FOR CALL BACKS & BASICALLY AM JUST BEING BLOWN OFF..AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BRAKE FAILURES!! THI

I OWN A 2015 FORD F150. I WAS DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY DECELERATED. THE WRENCH AND LIMP MODE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WHILE THE FAILURE CODE P2112 OCCURRED. I HAD TO COAST MY VEHICLE ON TO THE ROAD SHOULDER AND RESTART THE ENGINE. I HAD TO STOP AND RESTART NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE I COULD MAKE IT HOME, OFF OF A BUSY HIGHWAY. WHEN IT STALLED ON ME THE NEXT DAY, I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER AND PAID FOR A DIAGNOSTIC THAT LOCATED A FAILURE CODE AT THE THROTTLE BODY.

WHEN TRUCK SITS OVERNIGHT AND I START IT , IT EMITS A BLUISH WHITE SMOKE FOR 5-15 SECONDS. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS AND THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER CAN LEAK INTO THE BOOSTER ,BUT MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED. IS MY VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE?

AS I TURN MY TRUCK TO THE LEFT THE STEERING GETS STUCK A BIT AND REQUIRES FORCE TO GET THE STEERING WHEEL BACK FROM THAT POSITION. SOMETHING APPEARS TO BE GETTING HUNG UP.

I HAVE A TOW PACKAGE THAT WAS FACTORY INSTALLED AND THE LAST TIME I HOOKED THE TUCK IT TO MY TRAILER THE ELECTRIC BRAKES ON THE TRAILER WERE LOCKED UP AND I COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING IN THE TRUCK.

VEHICLE FAILED TO START DUE TO TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR FAULT. CODES P0706, AND P0707.

AS I WAS APPROACHING A 4-WAY INTERSECTION, I APPLIED THE BRAKES. IT SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN AND CAME TO A STOP, BUT AS I WAS WAITING AT THE LIGHT THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THIS IS THE SECOND BAKE LINE THAT HAS FAILED. IN THE PAST 6-8 MONTHS, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LINE FAILED; THIS TIME IT IS THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE.

1. 11/09/2019 VEHICLE WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" WHEN ENTERING THE I-84 FREEWAY FROM A FREEWAY ON-RAMP AT WOOD VILLAGE, OREGON. VEHICLE LOST POWER, WOULD NOT EXCEED 5 MPH, DASH LIGHTS (WRENCH LIGHT) CAME ON. VEHICLE PARTIALLY BLOCKED TRAFFIC AT INTERSECTION OF FREEWAY AND ON RAMP CAUSING A DANGEROUS TRAFFIC PROBLEM FOR OVER 1 HOUR BEFORE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED.. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FORD DEALER. DIAGNOSTIC CODES WERE NOT AVAILABLE UPON RESTART AT DEALER TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM, NO REPAIR WAS MADE. HOW CAN FORD HAVE A "LIMP MODE" WHICH ESSENTIALLY SHUTS DOWN THE VEHICLE (STUTTERS, STALLS, NO POWER) WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WHEN DIAGNOSTIC CODES AUTOMATICALLY RESET AT NEXT STARTUP? 2. 07/02/20 VEHICLE WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY COUNTY ROAD NEAR MY HOME. USING COUNTY ROADS AND CITY STREETS, VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN IN "LIMP MODE" AT LOW SPEED (5 MPH OR LESS FOR 7 MILES TO FORD DEALER. OTHER VEHICLES WERE FORCED TO PASS IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS, BIKE LANES WERE BLOCKED AND INTERSECTIONS WERE PARTIALLY BLOCKED BECAUSE OF THE SLOW SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS AFRAID TO SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE PREVIOUS INCIDENT WHERE THAT ACTION CLEARED THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES. VEHICLE WAS LEFT RUNNING AT THE FORD DEALER AND REPAIRED BY THEM BY READING THE CODES AND REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY. IT IS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE A FAILURE THAT INITIATES A "LIMP MODE" CONDITION THAT PLACES THE VEHICLE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE THE UNDERLYING CONDITION CANNOT BE EASILY DIAGNOSED IF

I HAVE 2015 F150 WITH THE ECO BOOST 2.7 LITER ENGINE. IT HAS ROUGHLY 60,000 MILES. FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS WHEN IT SITS OVERNIGHT AND YOU START IT IN THE MORNING IT EMITS A BLUISH WHITE SMOKE FOR ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS. I DID SEE WHERE THERE IS A COLD START PROBLEM WITH SOME OF THESE VEHICLES AND MAYBE PULLING BRAKE FLUID IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY. I LOOKED UP THE VIN NUMBER ON THE RECALL AND MINE HAS NOT SHOWN UP. I AM CONCERNED THAT MINE IS DONG THE SAME THING AS SPECIFIED ON THIS RECALL BUT HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED. *TR

A PIECE WITHIN THE DOOR LATCH MECHANISM MAY FAIL AFTER EXPOSURE TO EXTREME TEMPERATURES. IF THIS HAPPENS, A VEHICLE'S DOORS MAY NOT CLOSE PROPERLY OR THEY MAY OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED UNDER TWO PRIOR RECALLS, BUT FORD SAYS NOT ALL FAULTY DOOR LATCHES HAVE BEEN PROPERLY REPAIRED OR REPLACED. RECALL WAS DONE HOWEVER PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. REPLACED DOOR ACTUATOR ON PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND NOW DRIVER DOOR HAS ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY COMPLETE, NOT PARTIAL, COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO DOWNSHIFT SOME AND CONTINUE STRAIGHT. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. LUCKILY THE ROADWAY TRAVELED WAS NOT HEAVY WITH TRAFFIC, HAD TO DOWNSHIFT AND ROLL THROUGH STOP SIGNS TO GET HOME. *TR

THE WIPER STOP WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF WINDSHIELD WHILE IT WAS RAINING. I WAS DRIVING IN CITY. *TR

2015 FORD F150 BRAKE FAILURE, EARLY JUNE 2020. VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 50K MILES WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. NO ACCIDENT AS THE FAILURE HAPPENED OVERNIGHT. BRAKES SEEMED FINE AFTER A 660 MILE TRIP WITH A TRAILER IN TOW. PARKED THE VEHICLE AND THE NEXT MORNING THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THEIR WAS ALMOST NO BRAKE FLUID IN THE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR. I TOWED THE VEHICLE TO FORD AUTO NATION IN THE DFW AREA AND IT REQUIRED A $1400 REPAIR. TODAY I LEARNED OF THE RECALL - RECALL 20S31. THIS REPAIR WILL BE COMPLETED FREE OF CHARGE PARTS AND LABOR. I HAD THE FORD DEALER DO THE WORK, I ASSUME I AM ENTITLED TO A 100% REFUND? ANY HELP I CAN GET WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

I HAVE A 2015 FORD F150. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I GET A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WHILE I AM TRYING TO CENTER MY STEERING WHEEL AFTER TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT AND SOMETIMES IT MAKES ME GO INTO ANOTHER LANE FROM TRYING TO GAIN CONTROL. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED STEADY ON. IT BEGAN WITH THE LIGHT ONLY TURNING ON WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN WARM/HOT WEATHER. NOW, IT IS ON CONSISTENCY WITH EACH START. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS A FAULT WITH THE SEATBELT AIRBAGS THAT WOULD INFLATE FROM THE SEATBELTS IN THE INSTANCE OF AN ACCIDENT. ALTHOUGH NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED, THIS NOW REQUIRES FULL REPLACEMENT AT $1,000+ COST. *TR

WHILE SITTING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN I FELT A LITE THUMP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. NO LIGHT OR WARNING SOUNDS AT ALL. PUMPED PEDAL AND BRAKES WERE OK. GOT HOME SHUT OFF AND STEPPED ON PETAL AND IT WENT TO FLOOR AGAIN. CHECKED FLUID AND IT WAS LOW SO I FILLED UP WITH DOT 3 FLUID. THEN I NOTICED FLUID ON DRIVEWAY ON RIGHT SIDE NEAR FRONT WHEEL. LOOKED UNDER TRUCK AND NOTICED FLUID ALL OVER. UPON LOOKING FURTHER IT WAS COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE HOSE. I THINK THIS IS A PRE-MATURE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE HOSE. I ORDERED THIS TRUCK AND TOOK DELIVERY IN SEPTEMBER 2015 AND IT ONLY HAS 64,000 MILES ON IT. THE THING THAT SCARES ME MOST IS I JUST GOT DONE DRIVING BACK FROM FLORIDA TO NJ TOWING MY WIFES 2018 FORD ESCAPE ON A TOW DOLLY. GOD IF THAT HAPPENED TOWING WE WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. I KNOW THEIR IS A RECALL FOR THE MASTER CYL. THAT JUST CAME OUT 6/2020 BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO THEIR BRAKE HOSES ALSO. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE FORD DEALER IN THE MORNING (ALL AMERICAN FORD POINT PLEASANT NJ 08742) (6/15/2020) AND WANT THEM TO FIX THE BAD HOSE AND CHANGE ALL THE RUBBER BRAKE HOSES. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE NOW THAT 1 HOSE BLEW OUT IN ONLY 4YRS 9 MOS. I DO HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY SO THAT SHOULD BE COVERED. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL NEW VEHICLES IN MY LIFE TIME AND NEVER HAD A BRAKE HOSE BLOW OUT LIKE THIS.....I'M 67 YRS OLD. *TR

THE TRUCK COMPLETELY LOST POWER ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE. THE ENGINE KEPT RUNNING, BUT NO POWER TO MANEUVER PUTTING ME AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IN JEOPARDY. I WAS LUCKY IT DID NOT STALL IN A DIFFERENT PLACE, OR THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A BAD ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. FORD DEALER REPLACED IT AT A COST OF $500. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AT APPX. 4:20 A.M. WHEN MY LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT STARTED TO CHIME.ABOUT 1 MILE FROM WORK.THE CLOSER I GOT I NOTICED MY BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY THE CLOSER I GOT THE WORSE THE BRAKES GOT. PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I AM NOT STOPPING..SCARY.THANK GOD NO TRAFFIC WAS AROUND.GOT IN PARKING LOT AT WORK WHERE IT COASTED TO A STOP..CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP..SEAL BLEW OUT OF MASTER CYLINDER AND FILLED BRAKE BOOSTER.

I WAS DRIVING AND THE LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED ALARMING AND THEN WENT OFF. THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT REMAINED ON AND I CHECKED MY BRAKES AND THEY WERE OKAY. I MADE IT A FEW MILES ON A 4 LANE MAJOR HIGHWAY AND STARTED TO PUT MY BRAKES ON TO SLOW DOWN AND GET INTO A TURN LANE TO TURN LEFT AND MY BRAKE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR. I REALIZED I WASN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THE TURN SO I MADE SURE IT WAS GOING TO BE SAFE TO REMAIN STRAIGHT AND I STARTED DOWN SHIFTING TO SLOW DOWN AND THEN STARTED SLOWLY APPLYING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AS I WAS EXITING OFF THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STOP. I CHECKED MY BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND IT WAS EMPTY. I HAD NO LEAKS UNDER MY VEHICLE. I GOT SOME HELP FROM MY DAD AND ENDED UP DRIVING IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. I BURNED THROUGH 1 GALLON OF BRAKE FLUID GETTING IT THERE. I FOUND OUT THAT THE BRAKE FLUID WAS GOING FROM THE RESERVOIR TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND THEN VACUUM TO THE ENGINE AND BEING BURNED UP THAT WAY. *TR

BRAKE FAILURE. BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND VEHICLE DID NOT STOP UNTIL IT HIT A TREE. I PRESSED THE BRAKE, STARTED THE CAR. THE BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT FEEL ABNORMAL. WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE PEDAL, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE. THE PEDAL IMMEDIATELY WENT SOFT AND COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. SINCE I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY ONLY PLANNING TO MOVE THE VEHICLE BACK ABOUT 3 FEET, I DID NOT CLOSE THE DOOR. WHEN THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP, ITS DOOR CAUGHT A TREE AND BENT BACKWARDS INTO THE FRONT FENDER. THE VEHICLE STOPPED BECAUSE THE DOOR CAUGHT THE TREE. THE ONLY WARNING DISPLAYED ON DASHBOARD WAS THAT THE DOOR WAS OPEN AND THE CAR WAS NOT IN PARK. AFTER INCIDENT I TURNED ON POWER TO VEHICLE WITHOUT STARTING TO RECORD THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE FOR MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THAT IS WHEN THE LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING CAME ON. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD APPROX 50MPH POWER STEERING WAS LOST. ERRORS DISPLAYED ON DASH FOR ELECTRONIC POWER ASSIST FAULT, ADVANCETRAC FAULT, HILL START ASSIST FAULT. ALSO NO CRUISE CONTROL. AFTER PARKING OVERNIGHT, PROBLEM WAS NOT PRESENT ON RESTART; AFTER 5MIN OF DRIVING, ALL FAULTS REAPPEARED AND HAVE PERSISTED CONTINUALLY WITHOUT GOING AWAY.
