2015 Ford F-150 complaints

I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS WHEN THIS HAPPENED. MY 'BRAKE FLUID LOW' LIGHT CAME ON AND A FEW MINUTES LATER I LOST ALL BRAKE POWER. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALER, THEY DETERMINED THE BRAKE CYLINDER HAD FAILED AND THE BRAKE CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE ATTACHED THE DEALER INVOICE SHOWING THE REPAIRS, TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER, WHICH TOTALED $1,068.52.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, CLIMBING SLIGHT INCLINE, MULTIPLE WARNINGS REGARDING HILL ASSIST, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, ETC. POPULATE ON DASH. TRUCK GOES IN TO "LIMP" MODE, STEERING BECOMES STIFF AND SPEED REDUCES UNTIL IT COMES TO A ROUGH IDLE.

TRUCK GOES INTO LIMP MODE CONSTANT IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD FOR ALL. THROWS THROTTLE BODY CODE. ACCORDING TO DEALER ITS NOT COVERED IN YHE RECALL OR WHATEVER FORD CALLED IT BUT ITS GONNA GET US KILLED.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN PARKING LOT. TRUCK BED ILLUMINATION LIGHTS ON THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY OVER HEATED AND MELTED THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN THE DOORS ARE OPEN, AND THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN THEM OFF WITHOUT CLOSING THE DOORS.

THIS TRUCK EXPERIENCED SUDDEN AND COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE ON FRIDAY 7/19/19. LUCKILY, THIS OCCURRED IN A PARKING LOT, AND THE TRUCK ONLY HIT A CURB. OUR TRUCK WAS TOWED TO BOB DAVIDSON FORD IN PARKVILLE, MD FOR REPAIR. THEY DIAGNOSED FAILURE OF THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING ONTO AND DAMAGING THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS TRUCK HAS THE 3.5 LITER ECOBOOST ENGINE. FORD ISSUED A RECALL FOR BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER & BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURES FOR 2013 & 2014 F150'S WITH THE SAME ENGINE. WHY HAS THIS FAILURE OF BRAKE MASTER CYLINDERS & BRAKE BOOSTERS NOT BEEN EXTENDED TO THE 2015 F-150'S WITH THE SAME ENGINE? THIS OBVIOUSLY SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE PREVENTED AND PAID FOR BY FORD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE LOW BRAKE FLUID INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE BRAKES DID NOT HOLD WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JONES FORD (833-980-1600, LOCATED AT 5757 RIVERS AVE, NORTH CHARLESTON, SC 29406) AND KEPT FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE UNTIL THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES. RECEIVED A LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING. FLUID WAS BELOW MINIMUM. TOPPED OFF WITH DOT 4 FLUID AND RESUMED DRIVING. BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED WITHIN A FEW HUNDRED FEET WITH A COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES AND THE WARNING LIGHT FOR LOW FLUID AGAIN AND TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKES. IMMEDIATELY USED THE PARKING BRAKE IN ORDER TO KEEP FROM HITTING 4 CARS STOPPED IN FRONT OF US. WE USED THE PARKING BRAKE TO SAFELY PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY ENTRANCE RAMP

BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON WITH LOW FLUID WARNING; LOST BRAKING WHEN PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR SHORTLY THEREAFTER WHEN I WAS ON EXPRESSWAY. I AVOIDED ACCIDENT BARELY. I KEEP ADDING FLUID, BUT NO SIGN OF LEAKING THAT I CAN SEE, BUT GETTING WHITE SMOKE FROM EXHAUST . VERY DANGEROUS!

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE ENGINE JUST SEIZED ON ME WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION, ON THE INTERSTATE, AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND I WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE THE GEAR TO KEEP IT FROM STALLING! THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM TAKING IT IN FOR SERVICE AT AUTONATION FORD IN SANFORD FL, AGAIN TODAY!

TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS VIOLENTLY FOR NO REASON. AT AROUND 20-30 MPH AND LIGHT THROTTLE IT FEELS LIKE YOU HIT A CONCRETE POST WHEN THIS HAPPENS. SHAKES THE WHOLE TRUCK VIOLENTLY

BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR LEAKED ALL FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER RESULTING IN "LOW BRAKE FLUID" WARNING SECONDS BEFORE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKING POWER. TRAVELING IN THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS ON VACATION IN SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO WHEN THIS HAPPENED. COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS NOT ONLY INJURING US BUT OTHER OPPOSING TRAFFIC. OCCURRED ON HWY 82 BETWEEN CLOUDCROFT AND ALAMOGORDO ON JULY 6 2019. VERY STEEP STRETCH OF ROAD THAT COST THE LIFE OF ANOTHER TRUCK DRIVER JUST 1 MONTH PRIOR THAT WENT OVER THE SIDE DOWN THE CANYON. CALLED THE FORD DEALER IN ALAMOGORDO AND THEY SAID NO WARRANTY AND WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY IN ADDITION TO HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED. AGAIN, WE WERE ON VACATION AND STRANDED. WE HAD A MOBILE MECHANIC ORDER THE NECESSARY PARTS, AND 3 WORKING DAYS LATER (HAPPENED ON A SATURDAY AND PARTS ARRIVED WEDNESDAY) WE WERE BACK ON THE ROAD. VERY STRESSFUL SINCE THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR RECALL ON YEARS 2013-14, WITH OVER 300 REPORTS ON 2015-16 WITH NO RECALL. BRAKE FAILURE IS SERIOUS, AND FORD SHOULD TREAT IT AS SUCH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED LIGHTLY TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE LOW BRAKE FLUID INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PROCEEDED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN AND THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STUCK TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE ONTO THE ROAD SHOULDER AND ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE HIMSELF AND FOUND THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER RELEASED THE BRAKE FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V345000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,628.

FAILED THROTTLE BODY, WITH TROUBLE CODES P 2112 . TRUCK STARTED STALLING RARELY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT WOULD IDLE ROUGH AND NOT TAKE GAS. I WOULD RESTART TRUCK AND THEN EVERYTHING WORKED AFTER. FINALLY AFTER SEVERAL TIMES OF THIS PROBLEM IT KICKED THE CODE OF P 2112 THROTTLE ACTUATOR STUCK CLOSED

WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR LOW BRAKE FLUID. I GOT TO MY EXIT AND THE BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR AND I COULD JUST STOP IN TIME. HAD TO PULL OVER AND GET A TOW THE REST OF THE WAY HOME.

I HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR WARRANTY ISSUES AT OUR LOCAL DEALER. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM DEALER THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAD TO BE REPLACED, DUE TO THE MECHANIC LOOSING BRAKES AND ALMOST HITTING SERVICE BAY WALL. FORD IS CURRENTLY MAKING US PAY FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND ALSO AN EMISSIONS RELATED FAULT.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURN ON RANDOMLY AND INTERMITTENTLY WHENEVER THE TRUCK IS ON EVEN THOUGH THE WIPER SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION. EXACT CAUSE OF MALFUNCTION UNKNOWN. THIS ISSUE WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL FOR EARLIER MODEL YEARS, HOWEVER NOT FOR 2015 MODEL YEAR. ISSUE CAUSES STARTLE OR DRIVER AND LOSS OF CLEAR VISION.

BRAKE FLUIDS ARE LEAKING FROM MASTER CYLINDER INTO THE DRIVER SIDE CABIN FLOOR AND SLIGHT LOSS OF BRAKE PERFORMANCE WHEN DRIVING IN THE CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAY.

SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER. THE FRONT MIDDLE SEAT BELT IS STUCK CAUSING THE MIDDLE SEAT TO BE STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION. THE MIDDLE SEAT CAN NOT BE USED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND A MESSAGE APPEARED INDICATING THAT THE BRAKE FLUID WAS LOW. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A ROLLING STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BUTCH OUSTALET FORD (9274 US 49, GULFPORT, MS 39503, (228) 863-5525) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND BRAKE FLUID LEAKED ONTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,800. *TR*JB

AFTER LEAVING THE GYM ONE MORNING, I WENT TO THE PARKING LOT AND STARTED MY TRUCK. INSTANTLY A LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT SHOWS UP, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS WEIRD BECAUSE MY BRAKES FELT COMPLETELY NORMAL DRIVING TO THE GYM. I TESTED THE BRAKES AND IMMEDIATELY PUSHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOORBOARD WITHOUT RESISTANCE. I WENT OUTSIDE AND NOTICED NO LEAKS ANYWHERE ALONG THE BRAKE SYSTEM. POPPED THE HOOD AND THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY, BUT NO LEAKS. HOPPED BACK IN AND TESTED THE BRAKES WHILE DRIVING IN THE PARKING LOT. I HAD ABOUT 5% BRAKING POWER, AT BEST. STARTED READING ONLINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT PEOPLE'S BRAKES GOING OUT IN THE SAME FASHION. INSTANT FAILURE. LUCKILY MINE WAS VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING WHILE PARKED IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT. OTHERS HAD IT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY, TOWING A TRAILER, MUCH MORE DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. ALL HAD THE SAME ISSUE - FAILED SEAL AT THE MASTER CYLINDER, ALLOWING THE VACUUM IN THE BOOSTER TO INSTANTLY SUCK ALL THE BRAKE FLUID OUT. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SURE ENOUGH, FAILED MASTER CYLINDER AND RUINED BOOSTER. $1000 TO FIX. I READ ELSEWHERE THAT FORD CHANGED OEM MANUFACTURERS FOR THE MASTER CYLINDER AT SOME POINT, WHICH THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED. ALSO, THIS ISSUE IS UNDER OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION #RQ16001, BUT HAS YET TO BE AN OFFICIAL RECALL. CONSIDERING RECALLS WERE ISSUED FOR 2013 AND 2014 MODELS FOR THE SAME REASON, AND THE OVER 600 COMPLAINTS I'VE FOUND FOR THE SAME REASONS FOR 2015

I HAVE EXPERIENCED AN EGREGIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE WHEREAS THE BRAKING SYSTEM HAS FAILED. THIS MORNING WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE TO BRING MY TWO KIDS (3 YRS OLD AND 12 MONTHS OLD) TO DAYCARE, MY DASHBOARD INDICATED "BRAKE FLUID LEVEL LOW." WHILE I CONTINUED TO DRIVE, I ASSUMED PERHAPS THE BRAKE FLUID MAY NEED TO BE TOPPED OFF FOR WHATEVER REASON. HOWEVER, TO MY SURPRISE- ABOUT A MILE FURTHER I DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKES WERE INOPERABLE AND I IMMEDIATELY PANICKED. I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A ROLLING STOP AND INCH TOWARD THE NEAREST EXIT. FEARING FOR THE LIVES OF MYSELF AND TWO CHILDREN, I FURTHER INCHED TOWARD THE NEAREST PARKING LOT (BURGER KING) WHERE I COULD HAVE MY FAMILY REMOVED FROM HARM'S WAY. THE BRAKES ARE TOTALLY UNUSABLE AND WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD. THERE IS NO PRESSURE OR RESISTANCE AS THE BRAKES WOULD PRESENT THEMSELVES WHEN WORKING PROPERLY. I REFUSE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE AND AM NOW DEMANDING SAFETY RECALL. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BUTCH OUSTALET FORD OF GULFPORT, MS ON 7/12/2019. MY SERVICE ADVISOR, ZACH KUNZ, ADVISED THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM HAS INDEED FAILED. SPECIFICALLY, THE SEAL ON THE MASTER CYLINDER BECAME DEFECTIVE AND CAUSED THE BRAKE FLUID TO SPILL INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS WAS A SUDDEN AND TOTAL FAILURE OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I WAS FURTHER ADVISED THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY AND THAT TEH R

I STARTED MY TRUCK TO BACK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND WHEN I WENT TO PRESS THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH THE TRUCK ALMOST RUNNING INTO MY NEIGHBOR'S CURB. I PULLED BACK IN MY DRIVE WAY AND AGAIN THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR BARELY STOPPING THE TRUCK. I CHECKED THE BRAKE RESERVOIR BUT IT WAS FULL AND NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. HAVING TOWED TO DEALER, APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED FOR MONDAY 7/15/19.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT REFILLED THE BRAKE FLUID AND THE WARNING INDICATOR TURNED OFF. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT RECHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND SAW NO LEAKS UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. MALOUF FORD LINCOLN (2210 US HIGHWAY 1, NORTH BRUNSWICK TOWNSHIP, NJ 08902, (732) 951-0300) STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS; THEREFORE, THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,300.

MY 2015 3.5 F150 HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING SUDDEN DOWNSHIFTING AT RANDOM TIMES. TYPICALLY, IT HAPPENS ONCE EVERY HUNDRED MILES OR SO AND TAKES THE GEARS FROM 5 OR 6 ALL THE WAY TO 1 OR 2 GEAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT IS SCARY ESPECIALLY SINCE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PULLING A CAMPER ACROSS THE WEST FOR A FEW MONTHS. FIRST THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WAS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE SO I REPLACED THAT. NOW THEY ARE SAYING THAT IT IS SPARK PLUGS. APPARENTLY, FOUR OUT OF SIX MISFIRE AT THE SAME TIME RANDOMLY WHICH THEY SAID WOULD CAUSE THE DOWNSHIFT. HOWEVER, I JUST HAD THEM REPLACED WITH NEW BOOTS THREE MONTHS AGO. THE ISSUE DID START AFTER A DEALER TRANSFLUSH BUT I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS A COINCIDENCE OR NOT.

DRIVING TO WORK AND THE LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT SOFT. ABOUT 1/2 MILE LATER, I TRIED THE BRAKES AGAIN AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH ALMOST ZER0 STOPPING POWER. COASTED TO A STOP AND NO BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESEVOIR. NO SIGN OF LEAKAGE ANYWHERE. FIVE MINUTES ON GOOGLE AND I DISCOVER FORD RECALLED 271,000 2013 AND 2014 F150'S DUE TO DEFECTIVE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. WHEN THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILS, ALL THE BRAKE FLUID GETS SUCKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER, TOTALLY DISABLING THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I WAS VERY LUCKY TO GET THE VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC AND STOPPED WITH OUT INCIDENT. BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED, YOU WOULD THINK FORD WOULD CERTAINLY REPAIR THIS DEFECTIVE MASTER CYLINDER AND RUINED BRAKE BOOSTER ON MY 2015 F150 WITH ONLY 49,500 MILES. SPOKE TO DEALERSHIP AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE ANSWER WAS NO, YOUR 2015 F150 IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE A 'LOW BREAK FLUID' WARNING ANNUNCIATED, AND ONCE ACKNOWLEDGED THE BREAK SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. I IMMEDIATELY EXITED THE INTERSTATE AND STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO PURCHASE BREAK FLUID TO REPLENISH THE LEVEL. AS OF THIS TIME, THERE WAS NO NOTICEABLE CHANGE IN BREAKING OR THE FEEL OF MY BREAK PETAL. AFTER ADDING ALMOST THE ENTIRE PINT OF BREAK FLUID TO BRING THE LEVEL TO AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL, I STARTED MY TRUCK AND THE BREAK SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. AS I STARTED TO PULL OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT, I NOTICED A SLIGHT CHANGE IN THE FEEL OF THE BREAK PETAL. SO I STOPPED ONCE AGAIN AND LOOKED AT THE BREAK SYSTEM (MASTER CYLINDER, BOOSTER, HOSES, LINES, ETC) BUT DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY DAMAGE OR SIGNS OF LEAKAGE. I RE-ENTERED THE TRUCK AND DROVE AROUND THE PARKING LOT FOR A MINUTE OR TWO AND WITHIN THIS TIME THE FEEL OF THE BREAK PETAL RETURNED TO NEAR NORMAL FEEL. IT WAS AT THIS TIME I RE-ENTERED THE INTERSTATE AND WITHIN LESS THAN ONE MILE OF TRAVEL THE 'LOW BREAK FLUID' WARNING ANNUNCIATED ONCE AGAIN, HOWEVER UPON PRESSING THE BREAK PETAL TO EXIT, THE BREAK PETAL WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD WITH LITTLE TO NO BREAKING RESULTS. I RESPONDED BY USING THE EMERGENCY/PARKING BREAK TO ASSIST WITH CONTROLLING THE TRUCK UNTIL I COULD REACH A SAFE LOCATION TO PARK THE TRUCK.

BRAKE FAILURE, BRAKE FLUID LOSS INTO MASTER CYLINDER RESULTING IN BRAKE PEDAL GOING ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR, NO BRAKING POWER. TRUCK WAS IN MOTION IN A MOUNTAIN REGION WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS.

THE TRUCK WILL, WITHOUT ANY WARNING, JUST BASICALLY CEASE TO RUN. ENGINE WILL SHAKE, TRUCK WILL QUIT MOVING UNDER ITS OWN POWER, AND SEVERAL SERVICE ADVISORIES WILL COME UP ON DASH SUCK AS "SERVICE DOWNHILL ASSIST, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL", AND A FEW OTHERS. I STOP, PUT IN PARK, TURN OFF TRUCK, RESTART, AND IT WILL BE CLEAR AND WILL GO AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES AND IS CURRENTLY BEING LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC. 3 TIMES HAS HAPPENED ON ROADS WITH VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC. TWICE, WHILE GETTING ON INTERSTATE. TRUCK HAS 87,000 MILES.

PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY STEPPED ON THE BRAKES PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR USED EMERGENCY BREAK OPEN THE HOOD TO FIND EMPTY RESERVOIR FILL THE RESERVOIR WITH FLUID FLUID STEPPED ON THE BRAKES TWO MINUTES LATER IT WAS ALL GONE WITH NO VISIBLE LEAKS

BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT CAME ON LOST ALL BRAKES AFTER PARKING . BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. HAPPENED COMING OFF HIGHWAY .

LOST BRAKES ON THE FREEWAY THIS MORNING. I HAD TO PUT IT ON FIRST GEAR AND USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKES. THANK GOD TRAFFIC WAS SLOW I HAD MY DAUGHTER WITH ME.

WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE IN IT, THE BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE BRAKES BEGAN TO FAIL. THE PEDAL BEGAN TO HAVE LESS RESISTANCE AND WOULD BARELY STOP. THANKFULLY THIS OCCURRED AS SHE WAS ARRIVING TO OUR HOUSE. I CHECKED IT MYSELF AS SOON AS I COULD THE NEXT MORNING AND THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO RESISTANCE ON THE PEDAL AS IT WOULD JUST GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. HAD THIS HAPPENED AS WE WERE DRIVING A LONGER DISTANCE, IT COULD HAVE ENDED VERY BADLY AS THERE WERE NO EARLY WARNING SIGNS TO MY FLUID LEVEL BEING LOW. I ADDED FLUID AND TEST DROVE IT AROUND THE BLOCK. IT SEEMED TO WORK NORMALLY AGAIN. HOWEVER, AS I GOT INTO THE TRUCK THE NEXT MORNING, I EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE.

SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKING FLUID AND POWER WHILE IN MOTION. FLUID FILLED THE BOOSTER WITH ABOUT 4 INCHES OF BRAKING FLUID FROM RESERVOIR

COMPLETE FRONT BRAKE FAILURE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE'S THROTTLE COMPLETELY FAILED AND SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HOLMES TUTTLE FORD LINCOLN (660 W AUTO MALL DR, TUCSON, AZ 85705, (866) 930-6255) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,500.

ON WEDNESDAY, 6-26-19 AT APPROX. 3:15 PM MY TRUCK WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY AND HAD BEEN PARKED THERE SINCE APPROX. NOON MONDAY. TEMP. WAS IN THE LOW 90'S WITH PARTIAL SUN. THE TRUCK WAS SITTING IN PARTIAL SHADE. I GOT INTO THE TRUCK TO RUN ERRANDS AND SHUT THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. I THEN HEARD A POP AND SOMETHING MOVING. I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING SINCE I HADN'T EVEN STARTED THE ENGINE YET. I LOOKED BACKWARDS TO WHERE THE SOUND WAS COMING FROM AND THAT'S WHEN I SAW THE ENTIRE REAR WINDOW HAD EXPLODED AND WAS IN A MILLION PIECES. SHARDS WERE INSIDE THE TRUCK, ON THE CONCRETE, IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK AND IN BETWEEN THE CAB AND THE BED OF THE TRUCK. MOST OF THE SHARDS LANDED OUTSIDE THE CAB. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THIS. I'VE HAD THE TRUCK SINCE IT WAS NEW. FIRST AS MY COMPANY WORK TRUCK AND THEN I PURCHASED IT AS PART OF MY RETIREMENT. THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE THE REAR WINDOW HAS NEVER BEEN DAMAGED. THE WINDOW WAS A SOLID CAN BE HEATED. IT EXPLODED SO BAD THERE IS REALLY NO PICTURE NEEDED. ALL THAT REMAINS OF GLASS IS WHAT IS GLUED DOWN ON THE EDGES. I'M GETTING IT REPAIRED TOMORROW. LOCAL FORD DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ACTED LIKE THIS WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM; ONE SAID WE WILL FIX IT IF YOUR INSURANCE WILL PAY OF IT. ANOTHER PERSON SAID WOW, THAT'S UNUSUAL WE CAN'T HELP YOU, CALL FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. I'VE SEEN MANY INSTANCES ON THE INTERNET OF THE VERY SAME THING HAPPENING AND ALSO WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THIS IS VERY DAN

WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO-LANE ROAD, MY ENGINE WENT TO "LIMP" MODE, NO POWER, ROUGH IDLE AND THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS (WRENCH, CHECK SERVICE MANUAL ETC.) ALL LIT UP. NO POWER AND COSTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SHUT OFF, THEN VEHICLE STARTED NORMALLY BEFORE DOING IT A 2ND TIME. HAD TOWED TO THE FORD DEALER (RAY SCHULTENS, THE DALLES OREGON). DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY (FORD TSB 16-0139) NOT COVERED UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BUT THIS CONDITION MAKES THE VEHICLE INHERENTLY UNSAFE WITH NO ABILITY TO CONTROL ENGINE POWER.

DESIGN FLAW IN VISTA SUNROOF ON SUPERCREW TRUCKS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO LEAK. THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT BUT REQUIRES A $1200-$1500 REPAIR FEE. IN ADDITION, KNOWN FLAW IN LUG NUTS EXPANDING TO POINT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO REMOVE WHEELS. COAT TO REPLACE ANOTHER KNOWN DEFECT IS $14 PER LUG NUT.MAJOR ISSUES SHOULD BE COVERED WHEN RELATED TO LOCKED WHEELS AND WATER LEAKAGE INTO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT DURING OPERATION.

MY 2015 F150 WITH 100,700 MILES ON IT COMPLETELY STALLED ON ME WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. I LOST ALL CONTROL AND HAD NO THROTTLE RESPONSE AND THE TRUCK WENT INTO IDLE MODE AND WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL I PUT IN PARK AND THEN TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND THEN RESTARTED THE TRUCK. RAN MY CODES AND NOTICED THAT IT SHOWED A P2112 CODE WHICH WAS A FAULT WITH THE THROTTLE BODY RESPONSE. THIS CAUSED MY TRUCK TO COMPLETELY LOSE ALL FUNCTION IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH CROSS TRAFFIC. LUCKILY THERE WERE PEOPLE TURNING TO PREVENT AN 18 WHEELER FROM COMING TOWARDS ME AND THE SPEED LIMIT OF 55 MPH. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE FOR THIS TO JUST SHUTDOWN LIKE THIS AND CAUSE SERIOUS DANGER FOR MYSELF AND THOSE DRIVING AROUND ME. AFTER READING ONLINE IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY'S. THIS IS NOT OK!!!! I REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY MYSELF WITHOUT PAYING $800 AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP. THIS HAS TO BE ADDRESSED FOR SAFETY REASONS.

THIS AFTERNOON I LEFT WORK TO DRIVE HALF A MILE TO MY SON'S DAYCARE WHEN THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON. ONCE PARKED AT DAYCARE I CHECKED ALL LINES, WHEELS, AND UNDER THE HOOD AND HAD NO INDICATION OF ANY LEAKS. I WENT INSIDE TO GET MY SON AND CAME BACK OUT AND AS I STARTED TO DRIVE AWAY I FOUND MY BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR WITH ZERO PRESSURE AND THE BRAKES WERE TOTALLY FAILED. I HAD A FRIEND BRING ME A LARGE BOTTLE OF BRAKE FLUID AND I REFILLED THE RESERVOIR. I DID A SHORT TEST DRIVE AROUND THE DAYCARE AND THAT WAS ENOUGH TO LOWER THE FLUID LEVEL. I LIVE 3.1 MILES AWAY FROM THE DAYCARE SO DECIDED TO CAREFULLY DRIVE HOME. I HAD TO STOP 3 TIMES TO REFILL THE RESERVOIR WHEN THE LOW FLUID LIGHT CAME ON BEFORE THE BRAKES FAILED COMPLETELY, AGAIN. I WENT THROUGH 4 BOTTLES OF BRAKE FLUID IN 3 MILES, STILL WITH NO INDICATION OF ANY LEAKS. I FEEL VERY FORTUNATE THAT THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN TO ME WHILE DRIVING AT GREATER SPEEDS AND/OR ON A BUSY ROAD. I NOW HAVE TO DEAL WITH MISSED WORK AND TRYING TO GET MY TRUCK TO A DEALERSHIP AND REPAIRED, WHILE BEING A SINGLE PARENT OF A TODDLER.

THE REAR PASSENGER POWER DOOR LOCK INTERMITTENTLY FAILS TO UNLOCK THE DOOR AND IT WILL NOT WORK MANUALLY. THIS POSES A SAFETY HAZARD IF SOMEONE NEEDED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY. THE NHTSA 17V-652 RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED ALTHOUGH THE LATCH WAS NOT REPLACED WHICH IS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE AS WELL.

WHILE DRIVING AND LOW BRAKE LIGHT FLUID LIGHT COMES ON NO WARNING. LOSE ALL BRAKING ABILITY. FAILURE OF THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER. FROM LOOKING ONLINE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS.

WIPERS TURN ON AND STAY ON WHILE DRIVING. ROAD CONDITIONS HAD NO EFFECT. THE COURTESY WIPER WAS TURNED OFF. EVEN THOUGH THE WIPER SWITCH WAS TURNED OFF THE WIPERS WOULD STILL COME ON AND STAY ON. I TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY SAID THE WIPER SWITCH WAS BAD. CHARGED ME $300 TO MAKE THE REPAIR. FORD TECHNICIAN SAID THE SWITCH IN THE STEERING COLUMN WENT BAD. OF COARSE THIS HAPPENED AT 41,000 MILES AND FORD DECLINED TO WARRANTY IT.

TAKATA RECALL

TRUCK WENT INTO LIMP MODE AFTER STOPPING FOR A RED LIGHT. THIS HAPPENED TWICE ONE DAY. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY. WHEN IN LIMP IT TOOK FOREVER TO GET THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, LONG ENOUGH THAT THE LIGHT CHANGED BACK TO RED.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THROUGH TOWN AT 35MPH LOST ALL ACCELERATION, MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN SAID SEE MANUAL, SERVICE ADVANCETRAC, HILL DESCENT CONTROL FAULT AND COLLISION WARNING NOT AVAILABLE. STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, COULD NOT GET OFF THE ROAD. SHUT VEHICLE OF THEN ON AGAIN AND DROVE FOR HALF A MILE BEFORE IT DID IT AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO MOVE FROM TRAFFIC AND PARK SAFELY VEHICLE WILL IDLE BUT NOT MOVE. THIS HAPPENED TEN TIMES IN TWO DAYS IN VARYING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS

VEHICLE HAS 63,000 MILES AND TODAY THE WARNING LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING HOME. AT THAT POINT THE BRAKES WE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. THERE WAS A AUTO PARTS STORE A FEW MILES FROM MY LOCATION SO I DIVERTED TO THE STORE. I THOUGHT I WAS EITHER TOPPING OFF FLUID OR WOULD FIND A BROKEN LINE WHEN I ARRIVED. AT THE TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR NEARLY NO BRAKING POWER ONLY GOING 5 MILES AN HOUR OR LESS. AT THE STORE I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND NO LEAKS. THE RESERVOIR WAS VERY LOW. I REPLACE THE FLUID TO THE CORRECT LEVEL AND CONTINUED HOME. WITHIN 5 MILES THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I PROCEEDED 2 MORE MILES HOME TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. I FOUND THE RESERVOIR LOW AGAIN, I THOROUGHLY INSPECTED FOR LEAKS AND FOUND NOTHING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CYLINDER OR ANY LINES. THE I BEGAN TO RESEARCH THE PROBLEM. I WILL NOW CONTACT THE DEALER TO ARRANGE FOR REPAIRS. I AM SUSPECT THAT SOMETHING INTERNALLY TO THE CYLINDER IS LEAKING. WHERE ELSE WOULD 10OZ OF FLUID GO? IF ANYONE FROM FORD IS READING THIS (NATIONAL SAFETY MANAGER...) IT'S NOT JUST THE GOODS OR SERVICES YOU PROVIDE THAT MATTERS. INTEGRITY COUNTS, AND THE LONG-TERM SUCCESS OF YOUR BUSINESS DEPENDS ON IT. I TEACH MY CHILDREN THAT LYING, CHEATING AND STEALING ARE UNACCEPTABLE. I EXPECT INTEGRITY IN MY EMPLOYEES, IT MATTERS. TIME TO STEP UP BEFORE SOMETHING DEADLY HAPPENS

ON MORNING OF 5/25/19, I WAS TRAVELING IN KENTUCKY ABOUT 180 MILES FROM HOME, WHEN I RECEIVED A LOW BRAKE FLUID MESSAGE. THE BRAKE FLUID TANK WAS ABOUT 1/2 FULL. I WAS IN TOWN AND WENT AHEAD AND PICKED UP A BOTTLE OF RECOMMENDED FLUID AND ADDED A BIT MORE, AND ERROR LIGHT WENT OUT. BRAKE PRESSURE SEEMED GOOD AT THAT TIME. A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD I LOST ALL BRAKE PRESSURE. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, NO BRAKE AT ALL. I WAS ON A TWO LANE ROAD AND LET THE TRUCK COAST UNTIL I COULD PULL IT OFF THE SIDE OF HIGHWAY. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AGAIN AND TANK WAS TOTALLY EMPTY. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED TO CLOSEST FORD DEALERSHIP. I HAD TO CATCH A RIDE TO PICK UP A RENTAL TO DRIVE HOME. DEALERSHIP FOUND MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING INTO BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY REPLACED BOTH BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER. THEY CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE BUT THIS YEAR AND MODEL TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. WE PICKED UP THE REPAIRED TRUCK ON 5/31. WE WERE ABOUT TWO MILES DOWN THE ROAD AFTER PICKING UP, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE TURNED AROUND AND TOOK TRUCK BACK TO DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED ERROR CODE AND TURNED OFF MESSAGE. WE WERE ABOUT 80 MILES DOWN ROAD WHEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. WE DROVE ABOUT 100 MILES TO HOME AND CALLED OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY FOUND TAKE FLUID WAS CLOGGING THE VAC SUPPLY AND THE MANIFOLD INTAKE. THEY HAD TO REMOVE THE MANIFOLD INTAKE TO CLEAN ALL THE BRAKE FLUID OUT OF THE VACCINE HOSES. FINAL REPAIR WAS ON JUNE 7. BOT

WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, PUT IT IN DRIVE, THE TRUCK WENT TO FULL THROTTLE ON ITS OWN WITHOUT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR, AND IT TOOK OFF AT AN EXCESSIVE SPEED. I TRIED BRAKING, BUT IT JUST THREW ME INTO A POWER SLIDE. SO, ONCE I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN THE CAR WITHOUT FLIPPING IT, I COULD TURN LOOSE WITH ONE HAND AND KILL THE ENGINE. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY IT WOULD STOP. I WAS FORCED TO GO THROUGH THE YARD WITH THINGS FLYING OUT OF THE BED OF THE TRUCK RUINING A 5 GALLON CAN OF PAINT WE HAD MIXED TO PAINT THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSE. I AM A PROFESSIONAL TRUCK DRIVER, AND THIS SCARED THE DEATH OUT OF ME.

STEERING LOCKS UP & JERKS & THROWS UP ALARMS. STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED. THANKFULLY I WAS PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. OTHER RECENT ALARMS. SERVICE ADVANCED TRACK. BUT WENT AWAY.
