2015 Ford F-150 complaints

MY F-150 HAS HAD 2 TURBOS IN 1 YEAR GO BAD ON IT, CAUSING ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. LOSING GAS MILEAGE AND COOLANT ALSO. MY TIRE SENSOR HAS ALSO GONE BAD ON THE TRUCK AND CAUSED ME TO OVER INFLATE IT.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE HILL START ASSIST/TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON. A FEW HUNDRED MILES LATER, MORE DASH LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND THEN ALL DASH LIGHTS WENT OFF AND THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER. I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. AFTER A MOMENT, IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. AFTER A FEW MORE MILES, IT DID IT AGAIN, AND THIS TIME WHEN IT POWERED DOWN, THE ABS BREAK SYSTEM WENT ON AND CREATED A TERRIBLE GRINDING NOISE AND BROUGHT ME TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I LIMPED IT ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, TRYING TO FIND AN EXIT, AND THE TRUCK REPEATEDLY DID THE LIGHTS FLASHING/POWER DOWN/BREAKS APPLIED SEVERAL MORE TIMES AT LOW SPEED. THE NEAREST EXIT WAS ABOUT 10 MILES, SO I HAD TO CONTINUE TO DO THIS FOR SOME TIME. ONCE I WAS AT AN EXIT, I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. WHEN I RE-CONNECTED THE BATTERY AND STARTED THE TRUCK, EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE, BUT NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I DECIDED TO JUST RISK IT AND KEEP DRIVING, SO THAT I COULD GET HOME. ABOUT 100 MILES LATER IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. I WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO HOME TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TAKE BACK ROADS HOME. IT DID IT A FEW MORE TIMES AND THEN QUIT DOING IT. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS MY TRUCK BASICALLY STOPPED WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 MPH, AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, AND LEFT ME NO OPTION BUT TO EITHER BE BROKEN DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY OR DRIVE AT VERY LOW SPEEDS ON THE SHOULDER. THE FORD DEALER THAT I TOOK THE TRUCK T

WHILE TRAVELING AT 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, THE TRUCK WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" AND I ALMOST LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ON BOTH OCCASIONS. THIS HAPPENED TWO TIMES DURING THE SAME TRIP. THE ACCELERATOR WOULDN'T WORK, POWER STEERING WENT OUT, AND ALL STABILIZATION CONTROL SYSTEMS WENT DOWN. I HAD TO PULL OVER A P2112 CODE WAS READ FROM THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE PROBLEM IS FROM A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY WHICH MANY, MANY CONSUMERS HAVE REPORTED. FORD DENIES RESPONSIBILITY. THIS TRUCK COST $63,000 AND HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT. THE FAILURE OF THIS PART IS CAUSING WIDESPREAD RISK TO DRIVERS AND SHOULD BE FORCED ON FORD TO REPLACE WITH A LASTING PART.

WE HAD A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE THIS SUMMER AND HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED AND TOWED. DURING DRIVING, WE LOST ALL POWER, MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE! WHEN I ASKED FORD ABOUT IT, THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE ISSUE; HOWEVER THEY ISSUED SEVERAL RECALLS REGARDING THIS. THIS TRUCK ISN'T IN THE RECALL, WHICH MAKES NO SENSE. IT IS EVIDENT THAT FORD HAS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THEIR THROTTLE BODIES I HAVE SPOKEN WITH FORD SEVERAL TIMES, THEY ARE NOT HELPFUL AND ARE REFUSING TO PAY FOR THIS.

WIPERS WOULD COME ON WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING STATIONARY BY THEM SELF WOULD NOT SHUT OF WITH WIPER CONTROL SWITH. I CALLED THEM 'GHOST WIPERS' ONLY HAD 22,000 MILES ON TRUCK HAD TO BUY WIPER/TURNSIGNAL SWITCH.

THE FUEL PUMP ON THE 2015. F150 2.7 L ECOBOOST IS FAULTY. FORD HAS RECALLED ALL OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS ENGINE EXCEPT THE F150 MODEL. WHY? 2 FUEL PUMPS HAVE GONE BAD ON MY F150. AFTER THE 3 FUEL PUMP WAS PUT IN FORD ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE PCM SO THE FUEL PUMP WOULD WORK. MY VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN IN TRAFFIC WHEN THE PUMP FAILED CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER.

THE ANALOG SPEEDOMETER SHOWS INCORRECT SPEED EVEN WHEN IT IS IN PARK IT SHOWS 25 MPH.

REPEAT ISSUE- THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED BY FORD FOR SAME LATCH FREEZING PROBLEM TWICE THROUGH RECALL AND WARRANTY FIXES WITH NO RESOLUTION. VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE DOOR LATCH BECAME STUCK AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. THE OUTDOOR TEMP WAS 29 DEGREES, AND THE DOOR LOCK WAS FROZEN. AFTER HEATING THE TRUCK FOR 20 MINUTES, LATCH UNFROZE AND BEGAN WORKING. VIDEO IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V652000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) WAS RECEIVED IN NOVEMBER OF 2017 FOR THE FAILURE. THE LOCAL DEALER DON'S FORD (5712 HORATIO ST. UTICA, NY) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE BOTH NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-350. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHAKES AND WAS UNCONTROLLABLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO 30 MPH. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,856.

I STARTED THE TRUCK WITH THE REMOTE START TO LET IT WARM UP. AFTER AROUND 3 TO 5 MINUTES WE WENT TO GET IN AND NOTICED SMOKE AND A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE BACK SEAT. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND INSPECTED THE AREA THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM AND NOTICED THE INSULATION WAS BURNED FROM THE WIRE AND MY BACK WINDOW HAD CRACKS OVER THE ENTIRE SURFACE. I BELIEVE THE REAR DEFROST SHORTED OUT

ELECTRICAL POWER CONNECTOR FOR REAR SLIDING WINDOW DEFROSTER BROKE AT ITS ATTACHMENT (FACTORY SOLDERED) POINT TO THE REAR SLIDING WIDOW GLASS. THIS LEAVES THE DEFOGGER INOPERABLE AND ELIMINATES REAR VISIBILITY DUE TO FOG/FROST/ICE BUILD-UP. VEHICLE IS JUST OUT OF ITS 3 YEAR WARRANTY AND HAS LESS THAN 28,000 MILES. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SERVICE IS UNWILLING TO RECOGNIZE/CORRECT THE FACTORY DEFECT AND CLAIMED TO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF SIMILAR ISSUES FOR THE 2015 MODEL. THIS DEFECT IS APPARENTLY SIMILAR TO THAT WHICH FORD HAS RECOGNIZED FOR SIMILAR 2013 MODELS, ISSUING A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (FORD TSB ASI-32259)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE.

TAILGATE DROPPING ON ITS OWN AFTER DRIVING ON WET ROADS AND ALSO HAPPENED INSIDE A CAR WASH.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL ABILITY TO BRAKE. THE FOOT PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESISTANCE OR ACTION ON THE VEHICLE. THE PARKING BRAKE ALSO FAILED ALL ABILITY TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP THE VEHICLE. BY SOME MIRACLE I WAS ABLE TO GET IN THE EMERGENCY LANE AND LET THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY SLOW DOWN AND COME TO A STOP. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKES HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT HIGHWAY, WITH NO OBSTACLES OF ANY TYPE ON THE ROAD AND NO EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. I HAVE A VIDEO TAKEN WHILE WAITING ON THE TOW TRUCK, SHOWING THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SANDERSON LINCOLN (2121 W BELL RD, PHOENIX, AZ 85023, (602) 375-7500) AND THEY STATED THAT THE PART WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PART THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WAS UNKNOWN. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR COST SINCE THE MILEAGE EXCEEDED THE WARRANTY BY 2,000 MILES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,200.

WHEN I ACCELERATE THE ENGINE STUTTERS AND LOSES POWER. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHR FLASHES SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES REMAINS ON. THE CODE SHOWS A MISFIRE. I SEE THAT THE EXACT SAME ISSUE HAPPENED WITH PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR ECO-BOOST TRUCKS.

CATASTROPHIC / COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE WILL MOVING. BRAKE PEDDLE WENT TO FLOOR WHILE EXITING HIGHWAY. SECONDS BEFORE APPLYING BRAKES, "LOW BRAKE FLUID" WARNING CAME ON. THANKFULLY IT WAS A LONG EXIT RAMP AND WAS ABLE TO STOP VEHICLE WITH DOWN SHIFTING AND EMERGENCY BRAKE. VERY DANGEROUS!!!!!! NO PRIOR INDICATION OF PROBLEM. INSPECTED FLUID AND IT WAS BELOW MINIMUM. VEHICLE HAD BE SERVICED 2 WEEKS PRIOR AND ALL FLUIDS FULL. ADDED FLUID AND PUMPING BRAKES SEVERAL TIME, FLUID WAS EMPTY AGAIN. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER.

SINCE JUNE 2018 I BEGAN TO NOTICE A SMELL INSIDE THE CABIN OF MY TRUCK. THE SMELL CAN BE DESCRIBED AS A WET GYM SOCK AND SEEMED TO COME AROUND WHEN I USED THE A/C. I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY COULD LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE SMELL. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS COMING FROM MY A/C UNIT AND CHECKED THE DRAIN HOSE AND FOUND NOTHING, BUT SAID IT WAS PROBABLY MILDEW IN THE HOUSE. THEY SPRAYED THE HOSE WITH A DISINFECTANT AND IT SEEMED TO STOP THE ODOR. IN AUGUST THE SMELL RETURNED AND I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT THE SMELL WAS VERY STRONG WHEN RUNNING THE A/C WHEN IT WAS RAINING OR AFTER IT HAD JUST RAINED. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND TOLD THEM WAS I WAS NOTICING AND ASKED IF THAT WOULD HELP PINPOINT THE CAUSE. THEY RELATED THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT AND EVENTUALLY CALLED IN SEPTEMBER AND SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BUT WANTED TO VEHICLE. I AGAIN TOOK THE TRUCK INTO FORD WHO FINALLY LOCATED THE PROBLEM, THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT. THEY EXPLAINED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ALLOWING WATER TO GET IN AND TRAVEL INTO THE PLASTIC TUBE THAT GOES INTO MY VEHICLE AND DOWN TO THE REAR RIGHT SEAT. THE PLASTIC TUBE HOLD THE WIRING FOR THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT. THE TECHNICIAN RELATED THAT WHEN HE FELT UNDERNEATH THE FLOOR MY CARPET WAS SOAKED. THEY EVENTUALLY PEELED BACK MY CARPET AND CLEANED IT UP USING A DEHUMIDIFIER AND DETAILING SERVICES. THEY THEN REPLACED THE THIRD BRAKE. NONE OF THE ABOVE WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND HAD TO PAY ALL COSTS THOUGH

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN AND THE HILL DESCENT CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES, I TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE TO BE TESTED AND THE ERROR CODE - P2112 THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM- THROTTLE BODY NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. AFTER RESEARCHING, I CAME TO FIND OUT THIS IS HAPPENING TO THOUSANDS OF FORD VEHICLES. FORD HAD A RECALL ON SOME VEHICLES FOR THIS, BUT IF YOUR MAKE AND MODEL WAS NOT ON THERE THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COST. FORD KNOWS THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM, BUT WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME (IF NOT HAPPENED ALREADY) THAT THERE WILL BE A FATALITY DUE TO THIS BODY THROTTLE ISSUE. WE AS CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT OUR VEHICLE RANDOMLY DYING ON THE ROADS, WORRY ABOUT KILLING SOMEONE ELSE OR OUR OWN FAMILIES JUST TO COMMUTE. FORD SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JIM BASS FORD (4032 W HOUSTON HARTE EXPY, SAN ANGELO, TX 76901, (325) 949-4621) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE THROTTLE BODY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,300. *TT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SIGNATURE FORD LINCOLN (1960 E MAIN ST, OWOSSO, MI 48867, (800) 364-2868) FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS AN 80% LEAKAGE FROM THE OIL PAN. THERE WERE ALSO ADDITIONAL OIL LEAKS COMING FROM THE FRONT COVER. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED ONLY A PARTIAL REFUND OF $500 FOR THE REPAIRS, BUT THE TOTAL REPAIR COST WAS OVER $1,800. THE MANUFACTURER LATER OFFERED A $700 REFUND. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,918.

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON FREEWAY AT 75 MPH, "BRAKE FLUID LOW" WARNING CAME ON DASHBOARD FOLLOWED BY COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITIES. ROAD CONDITIONS ALLOWED TIME FOR VEHICLE TO SLOW ITS VELOCITY, FOLLOWED BY USE OF EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. THIS VEHICLE HAD NO HISTORY OF BRAKING PROBLEMS OR ISSUES.

COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES. LOSS OF FLUID. THANKFULLY IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE MY HOUSE SO I WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I POPPED THE HOOD AND LOOKED AT MASTER CYLINDER THE FLUID WAS ALMOST GONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE PASSING AN 18-WHEELER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED AND THE COLLISION WARNING WITH BRAKE SUPPORT FEATURE ENGAGED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE SENSORS OR AN ELECTRICAL FAULT WITHIN THE VEHICLE COULD BE AFFECTING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND COLLISION WARNING WITH BRAKE SUPPORT, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH. THE DEALER (AUTONATION FORD FRISCO, 6850 TX-121, FRISCO, TX 75034, 1-(972) 763-5523) WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO WAY TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE WITHOUT A DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE. THE DEALER DID NOT TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL A DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ENGINE ABRUPTLY DROPPED TO A ROUGH IDLE WITH NO THROTTLE RESPONSE WHILE IN TRAFFIC. DISPLAY CONSOLE REPORTED 'SERVICE ADVANCETRAC' AND OTHER WARNINGS. I MANAGED TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE SAME SYMPTOM REPEATED THE NEXT DAY. THIS IS A REPEAT OF THE SAME SYMPTOM THAT OCCURRED AT ABOUT 17000 MILES. AT THAT TIME THE DEALER REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY UNDER WARRANTY. THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO I REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY MYSELF AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. I SUBSEQUENTLY DISASSEMBLED THE OLD THROTTLE BODY TO SEE IF I COULD IDENTIFY THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. AS AN EXPERIENCED ELECTRONIC ENGINEER, I HAVE A BETTER SHOT AT DOING THIS THAN MANY. UPON DISASSEMBLY, I NOTICED BLACK DISCOLORATION ON THE CONNECTOR TO THE MOTOR THAT CONTROLS THE THROTTLE. THE MATERIAL OF THAT CONNECTOR APPEARS TO BE TIN OR A TIN ALLOY; THE BLACK IS LIKELY AN OXIDE THAT CAN CAUSE AN OPEN CIRCUIT. THIS LOOKS LIKE A PHENOMENON CALLED 'FRETTING' THAT CAN OCCUR IN CONNECTORS WHEN VIBRATION IS PRESENT. THE USUAL FIX IS TO CHANGE TO GOLD PLATED CONTACTS, AND/OR ENSURE CONTINUED LUBRICATION OF THE CONTACTS. I'VE ATTACHED AN ARTICLE ON 'FRETTING' FOR REFERENCE. BASED ON THE FACT THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT PERMANENTLY FIXED BY THE FIRST REPLACEMENT OF THE THROTTLE BODY, IT APPEARS THAT FORD HAS NOT IMPLEMENTED A DESIGN CHANGE TO MANAGE IT. IT'S LIKELY THAT THE PROBLEM WILL RECUR AND REQUIRE REPEATED FIXES. THIS IS DANGEROUS

ALL AMERICAN FORD IN PARAMUS NJ WILL NOT SUPPLY A LOANER VEHICLE FOR A RECALL THAT WILL TAKE SEVERAL HOURS. I WAS TOLD SINCE I DID NOT PURCHASE THE VEHICLE AT THAT DEALERSHIP THEY CAN'T HELP ME.

WIPERS WILL NOT SHUT OFF. EVEN IF YOU SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, THEY STILL COME ON WHEN IT'S STARTED AGAIN. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE WIPERS IS TO PULL THE FUSE. THERE IS A RECALL ON 2011-2014 MODELS BUT NOT ON THE 2015 MODEL. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE FORD SWITCH BUT COMPANY WILL NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND 800 NUMBER.

ON WEDNESDAY I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER RETURNING HOME I CHECKED ALL FLUID LEVELS, INCLUDING BRAKE FLUID. ALL OKAY. FOUR DAYS LATER WHEN I GOT IN THE TRUCK AND STARTED THE ENGINE. I GOT A WARNING LIGHT ABOUT THE BRAKES. UPON INSPECTION THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS EMPTY. I COULD NOT FIND ANY SIGN OF A LEAK ANY WHERE. I ASSUME THE MASTER CYLINDER IS LEAKING OUT THE BACK INTO THE BOOSTER. THERE WAS NO SIGN OF GRADUAL LOSS OF BRAKING PERFORMANCE. THE TRUCK WILL BE BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW.

DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WENT TO STOP FOR TRAFFIC AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. WARNING LIGHT APPEARED AND SAID BRAKE FLUID WAS LOW, BRAKE LIGHT ON DASH BOARD CAME ON. ADDED BRAKE FLUID AND WITHIN 10 MILES THE SAME THING HAPPEN AGAIN. HAD TO HAVE THE VECHICLE TOWED.

THE 2-PANEL MOON ROOF THAT CAME INSTALLED WITH THE TRUCK HAS MALFUNCTIONED. IT IS RARELY USED BUT AT ABOUT 40K MILES (WHILE STATIONARY), THE GLASS WOULD NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. AFTER MANIPULATION, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT CLOSED BUT IT WILL NOT OPEN AGAIN. IT SOUNDS AS IF THERE WAS "CRUNCHING" OF PLASTIC ON PLASTIC AS THE ROOF CLOSED. THE REAR EDGE OF THE FRONT GLASS WILL TILT BUT NOT FULLY. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND THEY ARE AWARE THAT IT IS AN ISSUE DUE TO INFERIOR PARTS BUT HAVE FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE ISSUE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND HAVE NOTICED THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT AND SOME HAVE EXPERIENCED THE GLASS SHATTERING.

THE TRUCKS WARNING SYSTEM HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT IS HARD TO EXPLAIN. THE SYSTEM WILL DISPLAY MULTIPLE WARNING AND ERROR MESSAGES WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENS INFREQUENTLY, WHICH IS WHY THE DEALER CAN NOT FIX IT. THE DRIVER'S DISPLAY SCREEN WILL CYCLE THROUGH MANY WARNINGS, I.E. "TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK", "PARKING BRAKE WARNING", "4 BY 4 WARNING ETC. PROBABLY AT LEAST A DOZEN MESSAGES. ITS NOT JUST ANNOYING. SOMETIMES THE TURN SIGNAL WILL NOT WORK. THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO 0 - WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CRUISE CONTROL USUALLY WONT WORK. SO, TO REITERATE, WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS, THE SYSTEM BEEPS FOR EACH MESSAGE, THE DISPLAY GOES BLACK, TURN SIGNALS DON'T WORK, THE RADIO DOESN'T WORK. THIS TYPICALLY LASTS FOR 5 TO 20 MINUTES BEFORE CLEARING UP. THE DEALER HAS SEEN THE HUNDREDS OF WARNING AND ERROR MESSAGES THAT ACCUMULATE, BUT THEY CAN'T FIX IT UNLESS THE ROOT PROBLEM IS STILL PRESENT. I HAVE RECORDED VIDEO THAT DEMONSTRATES THIS PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE ABRUPTLY CUT TO A ROUGH IDLE AND THROTTLE BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. WARNINGS TO SERVICE ADVANCETRAC AND HILL START ASSIST POPPED UP. I COASTED TO A STOP, WHICH WAS DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, THEN RESTARTED TWICE AND VEHICLE THEN BEHAVED NORMALLY. THE SAME PROBLEM RECURRED THE FOLLOWING DAY. THIS IS A REPEAT OF A PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED EARLY IN THE LIFE OF THE TRUCK AND THAT WAS FIXED BY THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY BY REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS TIME I BOUGHT AND REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY MYSELF AND HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. LOSS OF ENGINE POWER IN TRAFFIC IS A DANGEROUS EVENT. THE FACT THAT THIS IS THE SECOND FAILURE OF THE THROTTLE BODY IN MY VEHICLE SUGGESTS THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT UNDER CONTROL BY THE MANUFACTURER.

COMPLAINT - MANUFACTURER HANDING OF NHTSA RECALL 17V652 I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MULTIPLE TIMES REGARDING THIS RECALL AND EACH TIME THEY HAVE SAID I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN THE PARTS ARE READY. IT HAS BEEN NEARLY A YEAR SINCE THE ORIGINAL RECALL (NOV 2017). I ENCOURAGE NHTSA TO ASSESS FORD'S HANDLING OF THIS SAFETY RECALL TO DETERMINE IF THEY ARE UNNECESSARILY DELAYING REQUIRED SAFETY REPAIRS.

I OWN A 2015 FORD F-150 PICKUP 4WD 4 DOOR SINCE NEW. HAS 49K MILES. THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE TRAVELING ON A BUSY EXPRESSWAY I CHECKED MY BRAKES AND HAD NO PRESSURE AT ALL, THE PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOORBOARD I HAD NO BRAKES A COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING! I MANAGED TO DOWN SHIFT AND USE THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED, A COMPLETE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING SHOULD NOT HAPPED TO A WELL MAINTAINED 3 YEAR OLD TRUCK. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. AT THE TIME OF BRAKE FAILURE WE WERE TRAVELING AT 55 MPH ON A BUSY NY EXPRESSWAY DURING RUSHHOUR. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND HAVE BEEN TOLD IT'S A FAILED MASTER CYLINDER, HE CALLED FORD TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART AND THE ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT PART IS DISCONTINUED WAITING ON THE REPLACEMENT OF THAT. I HAVE LEARNED THAT FORD HAS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE ON 2013 AND 2014 F150 WITH THE 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE AND HAS RECEIVED COMPLAINTS OF SAME PROBLEM ON THE 2015,S. WHY HAS FORD NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE 2015 MODELS! (XXXX) PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK (TYPICALLY AT MODERATE SPEEDS - 20 - 30MPH) IT WILL SUDDENLY REDUCE RPMS TO ABOUT 500 AND THE SPEED WILL DROP TO AROUND 5 MPH. SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THAT OCCURRING I WILL RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING WARNING INDICATORS "HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE" THEN ANOTHER WARNING "HILL DESCENT CONTROL FAULT" THEN ANOTHER WARNING "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" THEN "SEE MANUAL". THIS HAPPENS TYPICALLY WHILE ACCELERATING AND HAS OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS AS WELL AS WHILE MERGING ON A HIGHWAY ON RAMP (BAD SITUATION). THE RESOLUTION IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AN LET IT SIT FOR A SECOND THEN START IT AND DRIVE SLOWLY. THIS IS WIDELY DOCUMENTED ACROSS THE INTERNET WITH NO IDENTIFIED CAUSE AND CONSTITUTES A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD.

HAVE REOCCURRING ISSUES WITH A CLUTCH SLIP. I'VE LOST POWER TRACTION ON ICE, RAIN SLICK SURFACES AND NOW OFF ROAD WHILE GOING UP A STEEP MOUNTAIN ROAD. I ALMOST WENT OVER A MOUNTAIN SIDE. LOOKING ONLINE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND VIDEOS MANY ARE REFERRING TO AS THE " SQUAWKING" IT DOES APPEAR THEIR IS A TSB, FORD IS AWARE BUT WONT MAKE THE RECALL OFFICIAL. IVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE DEALERSHIP TO REVIEW AND HAVE IT SERVICED BUT WAS TOLD THEY CAN ONLY SERVICE IT IF THEY CAN REPLICATE IT. THE PROBLEM IS THE PROBLEM IS RANDOM AND ONLY UNDER CERTAIN ROAD CONDITIONS. YOUTUBE HAS SOME VIDEOS HERE IS ONE- HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=O0KSTMA5JAU THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE AND APPARENTLY LOOKING ONLINE SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF OTHERS.

DRIVING AT 20 MPH ON RESIDENTIAL STREET, APPLIED BRAKES, PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. COMPLETE FAILURE OF BRAKES. SIMULTANEOUS WARNING ON LOW BRAKE FLUID AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHT. ADDED FLUID TO RESERVOIR. BRAKES FAILED AGAIN WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. NO EXTERNAL EVIDENCE OF FLUID LEAK, BUT RESERVOIR WAS AGAIN LOW. WARNING LIGHTS REMAINED LIT ENTIRE TIME

SHUTTING OFF AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE CLEARS OR RESETS THE MESSAGE AND SOMETIMES "DOWNHILL ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE" WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BOTH STAYED ON OR SHUT OFF ON RESTART. I CAN THEN DRIVE ON THE VEHICLE'S OWN POWER, THOUGH THE PROBLEM HAS REPEATED AS SOON AS TWO MINUTES LATER, OR NOT FOR DAYS.

FROZEN WIPER NOZZLES, FROZEN WASHER FLUID RESERVOIR, FROZEN HOSES TO AND FROM RESERVOIR TO NOZZLE SPRAYER. MULTIPLE OCCASIONS OF THE FLUID BEING FROZEN, OR FREEZING WHILE DRIVING. USING WINTER MIX SOLUTION DESIGNED FOR UPTO -20. TRIED OTHER BRANDS, STILL END UP WITH FREEZING SPRAYER WHILE DRIVING, TEMPERATURE HAS DONE THIS AT AROUND 20 DEGREES, UNCERTAIN IF THIS IS DUE TO CHARACTERISTIC OF ALUMINUM BODY OR POOR DESIGN. CHECK VALVE WAS OBSERVED BEING FROZEN AT ONE POINT WITH BLOCKAGE, HAD AN UPDATED CHECKVALVE/LINE KIT I PURCHASED, AFTER READING IN F150 FORUM FOR TSB FOR F150, YET STILL HAD ISSUES. VEHICLE REMAINS GARAGED WHILE NOT IN USE, OTHER VEHICLES INCLUDING OLDER FORD RANGER AND A PLYMOUTH NEON DID NOT HAVE THESE ISSUES ALTHOUGH SITTING OUTSIDE WITH SAME WIPER FLUID. SIGNIFICANT HAZARD ON HIGHWAY TO HAVE SPRAYER GO FROM WORKING TO FROZEN IN SECONDS WITH THE MISTING OF OTHER CARS IN THE SNOW ON WINDSHIELD. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN THE DARK, DEFROSTERS ON HIGH HEAT DO NOT HELP ENOUGH TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD. PRESENTLY LOOKING AT HEATING METHODS/DEFROSTERS OR INSULATORS BEFORE WINTER COMES. WOULD LIKE A FACTORY SOLUTION, BUT I CANNOT WAIT TIL IT CAUSES A SERIOUS WRECK. A VEHICLE PASSING BY BLOWING MIST IN WINTER WILL DIMINISH VISIBILITY GREATLY. I'VE HAD MULTIPLE OCCASIONS OF FREEZING SPRAYER/RESERVOIR/LINE ISSUES. SOMETIMES WHILE STATIONARY, OTHER TIMES WHILE DRIVING SPRAYER ICES OVER. AFTER LONG DRIVE 1HR SITTING IN GARAGE THE ENGINE BAY HEAT THAWS OUT THE SPRAYER. MA

WHILE DRIVING THERE IS RATTLING INSIDE OF THE STEERING COLUMN THAT STARTED A FEW MONTHS BACK. NOW MY ALTERNATOR SEEMS TO NOT BE WORKING PROPERLY AND THE TRUCK WILL ONLY CRANK WHEN I HAVE ALL EXTRAS OFF (RADIO, AC, ETC.) I ALSO HAVE TO PUMP THE GAS FOR SOME REASON FOR IT TO TURN OVER COMPLETELY. OTHERWISE IT JUST DIES. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM UNTIL LAST WEEK WHEN IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER AT ALL. MY BATTERY IS PULLING 13.9 V AND I HAVE CHECKED THE CONNECTIONS. FOR A TRUCK TO BE 3 YEARS OLD AND ALREADY NEED A NEW ALTERNATOR APPALLS ME. THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON AND THE RATTLING IN THE STEERING COLUMN IS SOMEHOW RELATED TO ME HAVING PROBLEMS CRANKING THE TRUCK.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY TO THE OFFICE THIS MORNING, AS I APPROACHED HEAVY TRAFFIC TRAVELLING AT 75 MPH. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. THE TRUCK HAD COMPLETE AND TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT BY GOING DOWN THE GRASS IN BETWEEN THE 2 OPPOSING LANES OF TRAFFIC.

MY 4 YEAR OLD SON GOT STUCK IN SEAT BELT AND WE COULDN'T GET IT OFF OF HIM. WE HAD TO CUT THE SEAT BELT TO GET HIM OUT. WE WERE IN PARK

I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE ON HWY AT 55MPH PULLING A 20 FOOT PONTOON BOAT. BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WITH AUDIBLE WARNING. I CAME TO THE NEXT STOP SIGN AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT NEARLY TO THE FLOOR WITH SEVERE DIMINISHED BRAKING ABILITY. I LIMPED THE TRUCK TO A GAS STATION A MILE DOWN THE ROAD WHERE I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WHICH HAD A 1/2 INCH OF FLUID LEFT IN IT. I PUT 12 OZ. OF BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. I GOT UNDER THE TRUCK AND CHECKED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE LINES FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. I LOCATED NO LEAKS WHATSOEVER IN THE SYSTEM. I CONTINUED ANOTHER APPROXIMATE 20 MILES AND THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AT WHICH TIME I STOPPED AGAIN AND ADDED 48OZ TOTAL OF ADDITIONAL BRAKE FLUID HOWEVER IT DISAPPEARED WITH NO LEAK ANYWHERE. I HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED 190 MILES HOME AS I WAS ON A FAMILY VACATION. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WILL ARRIVE ON MONDAY AUGUST, 20 2018.
