2015 Ford F-150 complaints

A "LOW BRAKE FLUID" WARNING APPEARED IN THE CENTER OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHEN I NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN TO TURN AT AN INTERSECTION. THE RESOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY FORD, YET THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THE 2015 F-150 TRUCKS WITH THIS PROBLEM.

THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM AT 36,999 MILES. WENT INTO "LIMP" MODE WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY IN A 45 MPH STREET WITH BUSY TRAFFIC. I WAS VERY LUCKY IT DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

WHILE ON VACATION AT LAKE, THE TRUCK COMPLETELY LOST BRAKES. I DROPPED BOAT IN WATER AND PARKED IN LOT. UPON RETURNING FROM DAY OF BOATING, I STARTED TRUCK AND BEGAN DRIVING DOWN BOAT RAMP. I HIT THE BRAKES TO SLOW AND MAKE THE U TURN TO BACK DOWN TO WATER AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT FULLY TO THE FLOOR AND ALARMS AND BRAKE MESSAGES BEGAN FLASHING ON DASH. THERE WAS VERY LITTLE DECELERATION. LUCKILY I WAS NOT MOVING TOO QUICKLY AND ABLE TO KEEP FROM HITTING OTHER PEOPLE AND VEHICLES ON THE RAMP BY TURNING CROSSWISE ON THE RAMP. CERTAINLY COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE IF BRAKES HAD FAILED WHILE FULLY LOADED UP TRAILER, LESS MANEUVERING OPTIONS OR WITH MORE SPEED. UPON CHECKING THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF LEAKAGE ON ANY OF BRAKE LINES OR COMPONENTS. OBTAINED FLUID AND FILLED RESERVOIR COMPLETELY AND ABLE TO GET BACK TO CAMPSITE. HOWEVER, TWO HOURS LATER THE RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY AGAIN. FINALLY DETERMINED FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO BRAKE BOOSTER AND THAT IS WHY NO FLUID LEAKS COULD BE DETECTED. THE RESIDUAL VACUUM AFTER ENGINE IS SHUT OFF SUCKS OUT ALL THE FLUID WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED. APPARENTLY THE ENGINE BURNS BRAKE FLUID FAIRLY CLEANLY AS THE EXHAUST DID NOT SMOKE EXCESSIVELY ON STARTUP. REMOVED VACUUM LINE FROM BOOSTER AND REFILLED RESERVOIR SO THAT IT COULD BE DRIVEN TO DEALERSHIP WITH NON-BOOST ASSISTED BRAKES. DEALERSHIP VERIFIED THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS INDEED LEAKING INTO BOOSTER AND REPLACED MASTER AND BOOSTER AT A COST OF $650. THEY SAID THAT

BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE TRYING TO STOP FROM 35 MPH AT A STOP SIGN ENTERED HIGHWAY 260 IN OVERGAARD AZ - CROSSED THE HIGHWAY APPLYING FULL PRESSURE ON BRAKE PEDAL AND USING PARKING BRAKE - CAME TO A STOP AND CHECKED THE FLUID LEVEL ALL BRAKE FLUID WAS GONE, ADDED 12 OZ OF DOT 4 FLUID AND BACKED THE TRUCK UP AND PARKED IN A ANOTHER PLACE TO CHECK FOR LEAKS - CHECKED THE LEVEL AND ALL FLUID WAS GONE AGAIN. NO SIGN OF LEAKAGE. DEALER LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE ON 8/9 AND DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKE FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER.

2015 F150 2.7L ECOBOOST 31,908 MILES... UPON MERGING INTO TRAFFIC TRUCK SUDDENLY SURGES, FOLLOWED BY AUDIBLE BANG THEN ABRUPTLY LOSES ALL POWER "NO DRIVING CONDITIONS OUT OF THE ORDINARY, NOT UNDER HARD ACCELERATION." WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIGHT UP AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OF VEHICLE. LUCKILY I WAS FORTUNATE TO NOT HAVE MUCH TRAFFIC AROUND ME AT THE TIME AND PROMPTLY COASTED INTO A DESERTED PARKING LOT TO CALL MY DEALERSHIP. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK NOW FOR FEAR OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT DUE TO MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL FAILURE, I DON'T WANT TO DIE AND DON'T WANT TO PUT ANYONE IT THAT POSITION EITHER. DEALER REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND SAYS ITS OK TO DRIVE YET THE THROTTLE BODY THEY USED AS A REPLACEMENT IS NO DIFFERENT THEN THE ONE THAT FAILED HOW CAN THAT BE SAFE? I'D LIKE THEM TO TRUST A TRUCK THAT CEASED ALL ESSENTIAL OPERATIONS (BRAKES, ACCELERATION, POWER STEERING) WITH A WIFE AND KIDS IN THE VEHICLE DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR IN THE FOURTH LARGEST CITY IN THE UNITED STATES WITH SPEEDING DRIVERS WHO DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD IN FRONT OF THEM, THEN WE WILL TALK. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH MANY OTHER FORD VEHICLES!!! FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR DIES AS A RESULT! DO THE RIGHT THING AND HOLD THE MANUFACTURES RESPONSIBLE ITS WHY WE HAVE THE NHTSA. HOW IS THERE NOT A MASSIVE RECALL WITH THE ECO BOOST ENGINES IN REGARDS TO THE FAULTY THROTTLE BODY, ANYTHING LESS IS UNACCEPTABLE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE FIRST?

WHILE DRIVING ON 1-90 THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DO N ON ITS OWN 3 TIMES SO FAR . IT IS MAKING US PANIC ON OUR ROAD TRIP. IT IS SUNDAY SO CAN'T GET IT LOOKED AT UNTIL TOM. WE HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT NOT STARTING AS WELLL TOOK IT IN TO THE PUYALLUP DEALER AND THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. I WANT THERE TO BE SOMETHING IN WRITING IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO US ON THIS TRIP.

VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. DISPLAY SLOWED TRACTION CONTROL MALFUNCTION, HILL ASSIST MALFUNCTION AND ENGINE TROUBLE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. ONCE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF IT THEN RESTARTED A MINUTE LATER AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED.

MY WIFE STARTED DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND A SHORT TIME LATER A "BRAKE FLUID LOW" WARNING CAME ON. SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND BRAKING ACTION WAS SEVERELY COMPROMISED. IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD TO A SAFE PLACE, SHE HAD TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE A SHORT DISTANCE, IN ORDER TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP ONCE IN A PARKING LOT SHE HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN TOW HAUL MODE (ENGINE BRAKING) AND USE THE EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL SERVICE SHOP. THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A MASTER CYLINDER LEAK INTO THE BOOSTER. WE THEN HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DCH FORD OF THOUSAND OAKS AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE THE SAME AND SAID THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER NEED TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE HAS LESS THE 50K MILES AND IS THE V6 WITH ECOBOOST. 2013 AND 2014 MODELS ARE APPARENTLY UNDER ACTIVE RECALL FOR SAME ISSUE. 2015 (OUR YEAR) IS UNDER RECALL QUERY/INVESTIGATION # RQ16001

WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 FORD F-150 ECOBOOST AT 45 MPH ON A CITY STREET I HAD A LOW BREAK FLUID WARNING LIGHT COME ON. I STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND ALL SEEMED FINE.I PROCEEDED 2 BLOCKS TO FIND SOMEWHERE SAFE TO CHECK THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL. WHEN I TRIED TO STOP AT THE NEXT STOP LIGHT I HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL!!! I WENT THROUGH THE RED LIGHT INTERSECTION WITH MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR ON THE BRAKES. WITH LUCK, I DID NOT HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. I COASTED SLOW ENOUGH TO USE MY PARKING BRAKE (E-BRAKE) TO MAKE A FULL STOP. I OPEN THE HOOD AND NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY EMPTY. AFTER CAREFULLY EXAMINING ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES ,FITTINGS, CALIPERS, MASTER CYLINDER AND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT NO BRAKE FLUID WAS FOUND LEAKING ANYWHERE. I HAD THE 2015 FORD F-150 ECOBOOST TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. ALSO ABOUT A WEEK AGO DURING A LONG ROAD TRIP I NOTICED A LOT OF WIND NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVERS DOOR. I WAS ON AN INTERSTATE GOING ABOUT 75 MPH. I GOT OFF OF THE INTERSTATE AND RE-CLOSED MY DOOR THINKING I DID NOT SHUT IT HARD ENOUGH. ABOUT 5 MILES DOWN THE INTERSTATE DRIVING ABOUT 75 MPH I WENT OVER AN APPROACH (OR A BUMP) TO A BRIDGE AND THE DOOR DROPPED OUT OF IT'S CLOSED POSITION AND I COULD STICK 4 FINGERS OUT BETWEEN THE DOOR AND DOOR FRAME. I PULL OVER AT A SAFE AREA TO EXAM THE DOOR AND FRAME. I NOTICED THAT THE DOOR BOLTS (TOP AND BOTTOM) THAT HOLD THE DOOR HINGE TO THE DOOR HAD COME LOOSE AND BACKED OUT ABOUT 4 TURNS. I TIGHTENED THEM AND FINISHED MY TRIP. I NOTIFIE

MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER17S33 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER17V652 I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED REGARDING THIS RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE MESSAGE "BRAKE FLUID LOW" LATER DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY. AFTER REFILLING THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID, THE BRAKES CONTINUED TO MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (PEARSON FORD, 10650 NORTH MICHIGAN RD, ZIONSVILLE, IN, 317-873-3333) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000. *TT UPDATED 10/15/18*JB

THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FAILED PREMATURELY ON MY FORD F150, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND SUBSEQUENTLY GO INTO LIMP MODE WHILE TRAVELING AT NORMAL SPEEDS (HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES BETWEEN 35 AND 50 MPH). THIS CAUSES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TRYING TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AS WELL AS POTENTIAL LOSS OF CONTROL AND HANDLING. A FORD DEALER ATTEMPTED TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AFTER 3 INCIDENTS, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AND TOLD ME THE PROBLEM MAY BE THE THROTTLE BODY (BUT THEY DID NOT REPLACE IT).

FORDS RECALL # 17S33 NHTSA RECALL # 17V652 THREE DIFFERENT TIMES LAST FALL I COULD NOT CLOSE MY PASSENGER REAR DOOR.

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE. LOSS OF ASSISTED POWER STEERING CAUSING EXTREMELY, DANGEROUS STEERING SITUATION. MILEAGE, ONLY 56,000

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL ON A SMOOTH, LEVEL HWY MY CRUISE CONTROL CUT OFF ABRUPTLY CAUSING AN ALARM TO SOUND AND A NOTICE TO SERVICE ADV TRAC CAME UP ON MY SCREEN. AT THAT MOMENT I ALSO DISCOVERED MY POWER STEERING HAD FAILED CAUSING THE TRUCK TO BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE RAPID DECELERATION CAUSED THE CAR BEHIND ME TO HAVE TO BRAKE HARD AND GET ON THE SHOULDER. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. I DROVE THE TRUCK HOME AND CALLED MY FORD DEALER THE NEXT MORNING AND CONSEQUENTLY TOOK THE CAR TO THEM. I WAS INFORMED LATER THAT MORNING THAT I HAD HAD A CATASTROPHIC STEERING FAILURE AND THAT MY COMPLETE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST (EPSA) WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $2,000. THE TRUCK WAS DELIVERED NEW IN JAN OF 2016 ONLY HAS 45,000 MILES ON IT AND I DOUBT HAS EVER BEEN OFF OF PAVED ROADS . I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND PAY THE BILL. I CONTACTED FORD TO SEE IF I COULD GET SOME HELP AND BASICALLY GOT A VERY WEAK RESPONSE AND OF COURSE NO ACTION. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING WHATSOEVER AND HAD IT HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC OR IN A MORE HAZARDOUS SITUATION WITH A PHYSICALLY WEAKER DRIVER AT THE WHEEL THERE WOULD HAVE ALMOST CERTAINLY BEEN A BAD ACCIDENT. AFTER DOING SOME SEARCHING I FIND THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNHEARD OF INCIDENT AND BASED ON MY RESEARCH WOULD BET FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT I'M ASHAMED THAT I HAVE PUT SO MUCH FAITH IN FORD AND THEIR PRODUCTS IN THE PAST.

ONLY 53,00 MILES ON IT . WHEN I TURN KEY TO START IT, IT WHIRLS, I TURN IT TO OFF POSITION & THEN IT USUALLY WILL GO AHEAD & START. WHAT CAN BE WRONG WITH THAT LOW MILEAGE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V652000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) AND STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS. THE DEALER (BLUEBONNET FORD LINCOLN, 351 N INTERSTATE FRONTAGE ROAD, NEW BRAUNFELS, TX 78130) CONFIRMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THERE IS AN EXISTING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SAFETY RECALL OPEN FOR THIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL, BUT MY TRUCK ALSO EXPERIENCES THE EXACT SAME ISSUES DESCRIBED BY FORD ON THEIR OWN SITE EVERY TIME I USE THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL: HTTPS://MEDIA.FORD.COM/CONTENT/FORDMEDIA/FNA/US/EN/NEWS/2015/09/30/FORD-ISSUES-FIVE-SAFETY-RECALLS-AND-ONE-SAFETY-COMPLIANCE-RECALL.HTML I'M SURE THAT THE EXISTING SAFETY RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO ADDITIONAL VINS WITHIN THE F-150 RANGE OF VEHICLES. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN THE WAY IT CURRENTLY OPERATES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH DOWN A HILL, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (PHIL LONG MOTOR CITY, 1212 MOTOR CITY DR., COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80905, (888)-701-7494) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ACTION WAS TAKEN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,300.

ON JULY 21, 2018 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM LAKE RAY ROBERTS AT 10:30 PM A LOW FLUID LEVEL WARNING APPEARED ON THE CONSOLE OF MY 2015 F-150 TRUCK. THE WARNING WAS SHORTLY FOLLOWED WITH TOTAL BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION THE FLUID FROM THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER HAD DRAINED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS RESULTED IN TOTAL LOSS OF HYDRAULIC BRAKES AND A REQUIREMENT TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STOP THE VEHICLE BY LETTING IT COAST TO A STOP. ALSO, THE BRAKE FLUID LOW WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO I-77 FORD (3315 CHARLESTON RD, RIPLEY, WV) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEALANT FAILED IN THE BOOSTER CYLINDER AND BOTH THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000. *TT CONSUMER STATED SINCE THE BRAKE FAILURE ON 7/10/18 AND COMPLETED REPAIRS ON 7/17/18. ALSO, SINCE AN I77 MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I MAY LOSE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS BECAUSE THE BRAKE FLUID WENT THRU THEM, I TRADED THE TRUCK ON 7/28/18. UPDATED 10/15/18*JB

PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY MY POWER SLIDING BACK WINDOW EXPLODED AND SHATTERED. THE REAR DEFROST WAS NOT ON AND THERE WAS NO IMPACT OR DAMAGE.

BRAKES WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. BRAKE FLUID KEEPS DISAPPEARING. BRAKE FLUID HAS LEAKED INTO THE INTAKE AND CAUSED MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST, THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AT ONLY 42K MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ENGAGED IN PARK, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT BRAKE FLUID WAS ADDED TO THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE BRAKE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO J.C. LEWIS FORD (9505 ABERCORN ST, SAVANNAH, GA 31406, (912) 216-2918) WHERE THE MASTER CYLINDER, BOOSTER VACUUM VALVES, VACUUM LINES, AND STOP LAMP SWITCH WERE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS FLUSHED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,989. *TT UPDATED 10/15/18*JB

WHILE TOWING A TRAILER AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH ON A CITY STREET AND SLOWING (BRAKING), THE FRONT BRAKES ON THE F-150 CEASED TO WORK AND THE VEHICLE DASH DISPLAYED A WARNING THERE WAS LOW BRAKE FLUID. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO COLLISION AS THIS WAS NOT A PANIC STOP SITUATION, THE REAR BRAKES OF THE VEHICLE WORKED, AND THERE WERE TRAILER BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION, THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER HAD FAILED AND CAUSED THE BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK INTO THE VACUUM (BRAKE) BOOSTER. THIS IS THE SAME FAILURE OUTLINED IN NHTSA RECALL 16V345000 COVERING 2013 TO 2014 F-150S. I BELIEVE THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO 2015 VEHICLES AS WELL.

WHILE TRYING TO STOP AT A BUSY INTERSECTION MY BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED. SECONDS LATER I NOTICED A BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT. UPON INVESTIGATION, BRAKE FLUID WAS VERY LOW. ADDED MORE FLUID TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, ONLY TO BE IN THE SAME SITUATION A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS BEEN VERY UNHELPFUL. PARTS AGENTS HUNG UP ON ME, AND NO GUIDANCE AS TO WHERE I CAN FIND REPLACEMENT PARTS. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY PARKED AND CAN'T BE DRIVEN UNTIL FIXED. I BOUGHT AFTERMARKET PARTS AND HAVE TO MISS DAYS OF WORK AND PAY FOR A RENTAL. THERE IS ONLY 68K MILES ON THE TRUCK AND 3 YEARS OLD. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND HAS NOT ISSUED ANY RECALLS. I HOPE THIS IS ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIES. THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO TALK ABOUT IT ON THEIR CHAT LINE.

I EXPERIENCED TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO STOP WITH THE PARKING BRAKE. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND FOUND IT EMPTY. THERE WAS NOT A CRASH INVOLVED.

DRIVING VEHICLE ON COUNTRY ROADS AT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH, A LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING WAS OBSERVED. STOPPED VEHICLE AND CHECKED, FLUID WAS NEAR MIN FILL LINE IN RESERVOIR. TURNED AROUND TO RETURN HOME AND WITHIN LESS THAN 1 MILE ALL BRAKE FUNCTION CEASED AND UPON COASTING TO STOP, BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS CHECKED AGAIN AND FOUND EMPTY. CHECKED UNDER VEHICLE AND AT EACH BRAKE CYLINDER, FOUND NO INDICATION OF LEAKING. HAD TRUCK TOWED TO DEALER (TIMBER FORD, HAYWARD WI). THEY CONFIRMED THE ISSUE WAS AN INTERNAL LEAK OF BRAKE FLUID IN THE MASTER CYLINDER. REPLACED BRAKE MASTER CYCLINDER, BRAKE BOOSTER AND BRAKE VACUUM PUMP ASSEMBLY FOR $1000.76 VEHICLE HAD 59,663 MILES AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. I WAS ABLE TO MANAGE MY WAY BACK HOME USING DOWNSHIFTING AND EMERGENCY BRAKING, HOWEVER, THIS CONDITION WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF I WOULD HAVE MADE IT ANOTHER MILE FURTHER AND BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED AND MORE TRAFFIC.

I WAS DRIVING ON 680 AND WITHOUT WARNING MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE FELL OFF. IT FELT LIKE A FLAT TIRE AND AS I WAS PULLING OVER THE TIRE WENT FLYING. NEW TRUCK UNDER WARRANTY 500$ MONTHLY PAYMENTS, THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. I DROVE TRUCK FROM WI TO CA. HAD FORD INSPECT THE VEHICLE, THEY KNEW IT WAS NOT SAFE SAID IT WAS AND LET ME DRIVE IT AWAY 2600 MILES LATER TIRE PROBLEM HAPPENS. I TOOK IT BACK TO FORD FOR REPAIR, THEY REPLACED ALL LUG NUTS FROM CLOSED CAP TO OPEN FACE, I ASKED ABOUT LUG NUT CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ANT THEY HAD NO COMMENT.

ON THE MORNING OF JULY 6, 2018, WHILE DRIVING FROM SWAN VALLEY, ID TO IDAHO FALLS, ID I EXPERIENCED COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. THE WARNING LIGHT INDICATED LOW BRAKE FAILURE. I THOUGHT THAT I NEEDED TO ADD BRAKE FLUID AND HAD NO IDEA THAT I DID NOT HAVE ANY BRAKES. WHEN I TRIED TO SLOW DOWN, THE BRAKE PETAL WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD. I WAS SHOCKED AT THAT TIME. I PUT THE GEAR SHIFT INTO M AND DOWNSHIFTED FROM ABOUT 60 MPH TO A SAFER SPEED. I HAD TO DRIVE 30 MILES TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AT LEAST 5 OR 6 TIMES TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. MOST OF THE 30 MILES WAS ON A TWO LANE US HIGHWAY 26. IN ORDER TO DEAL WITH LESS STOP AND GO SITUATIONS, I DROVE ON HIGHWAY 49 TO US 20 TO COMPLETE BY DRIVE TO BROADWAY FORD ON BROADWAY IN IDAHO FALLS. I WAS ABLE TO CAREFULLY DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY KNOW OF SIMILAR FAILURES AND IT INVOLVED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND A BOOSTER. THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT THEIR WAS A RECALL ON THE 2013 AND 2014 MODELS, BUT NOT ON THE 2015 AS OF YET. FROM A PERSONAL NOTE IF MY WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVING THE TRUCK I AM CONFIDENT THEIR WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT

WHEN GOING UP A STEEP GRADE PULLING A CAMPER I LOST POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I WAS ON LEVEL GROUND THE POWER POWER CAME BACK IN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, THE AUTOMATIC RUNNING BOARD INADVERTENTLY RETRACTED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S FOOT WAS LODGED BETWEEN THE RUNNING BOARD AND THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER (BUSS FORD LINCOLN, 111 NORTH ILLINOIS ROUTE 31, MCHENRY, IL 60050) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THAT SPECIFIC FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

I WAS CROSSING A BUSY HIGHWAY BRIDGE AND THE TRUCK STARTED VIOLENTLY JERKING AND SHAKING, STUTTERING BARELY MOVING. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP OVER OUT OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND. I TOOK TO FORD HOUSE TO HAVE REPAIRED. TURNS OUT THE THRODDLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE LIST EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2015 MODEL VEHICLE. DO I NEED TO JOIN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT TO BE REIMBURSED?

ALARM WILL RANDOMLY GO OFF WHEN CAR IS LOCKED. THIS INCLUDES THE HAZARD LIGHTS FLASHING WITH NO ALARM GOING OFF. I KNOW OF TWO OTHER FORD OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND THEIR TRUCKS ALSO DO THIS.

GOT THE BRAKE FLUID WARNING AND THEN WITHIN 5 MINUTES THE BRAKES WERE GONE, THE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR WHILE DRIVING. COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING THEREAFTER NEED TO BE TOWED TO DEALER.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, BRAKE LEVEL LOW LIGHT ILLUMINATED FOLLOWED BY TOTAL LOSS BRAKES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP. CHECKED MASTER CYLINDER AND IT WAS EMPTY. ADDED FLUID TO THE FULL LINE AND IT CONTINUED TO DRAIN AWAY. PROBLEM WAS FLUID LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. A SIMILAR PROBLEM WAS EXPERIENCED IN THE 2013-2014 F150 WHICH RESULTED IN A RECALL BY FORD. PROBLEM OCCURRED TODAY (THE FOURTH OF JULY). ALL REPAIR SHOPS WERE CLOSED SO NO REPAIR CIST ARE AVAILABLE YET.

ALL LUG NUTS ARE SWELLING- HARD TO GET OFF. TECH TOLD ME IT WILL GET TO POINT I WILL HAVE TO HAVE THEM ALL REPLACED AND IF I WERE TO GET A FLAT TIRE THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET ANY OF THEM OFF AT THIS POINT.

AT TIMES MY 2015 F150 LOSES ALL POWER AND GO TO A LOW POWER/ "LIMP MODE" SETTING. CAUTIONS RECEIVED ARE (1) SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC, (2) HILL DESCENT CONTROL FAULT, (3) HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAIL, (4) TRAACTION CONTROL FAULT LIGHT. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE VEHICLE GOES TO A VERY LOW FORWARD POWER SETTING (<5MPH), RUNS EXTREMELY ROUGH TO THE POINT WHERE THE VEHICLE SHAKES AGGRESSIVELY. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT IN NATURE, AND YESTERDAY WAS THE FINAL STRAW. THIS SUDDENT OSS OF POWER OCCURRED ON A BUSY ROAD AND I NEARLY GOT REAR ENDED. I IMMEDIATELY LIMPED OFF THE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP IN CASTLE ROCK, CO. CURRENTLY I'M STANDING BY FOR THE MECHANICS DIAGNOSIS. OF NOTE, I DO SEE SEVERAL SIMILAR WRITE-UPS OF THIS PROBLEM ON THE NHTSA SITE REGARDING THE 2015 F150. IRONICALLY, A SIMILAR OCCURRENCE (REF. NHSTSA ID#11083485) HAPPENED RIGHT UP THE ROAD FROM ME IN CASTLE ROCK, CO (4/5/18). I HOPE FORD IS AWARE OF THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, RECURRING PROBLEM WITHIN ITS F150 FLEET.

IT HAS BEEN NEARLY NINE MONTHS SINCE FORD FIRST REPORTED A RECALL ON CERTAIN FORD F-150 TRUCKS RELATED TO FAULTY DOOR LATCHES. TO DATE, FORD HAS STILL NOT NOTIFIED EFFECTED OWNERS HOW OR WHERE THEY CAN HAVE THEIR VEHICLES REPAIRED. I ENCOURAGE THE NHTSA TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT FORD IS LIVING UP TO ITS OBLIGATIONS TO REPAIR THE DEFECT ON A TIMELY BASIS. LIVES ARE AT STAKE.

MY 2015 FORD F 150 , WILE DRIVEN 40 MPG , STEERING WHEEL WAS WHEEL TURNED TO THE LEFT .UPON RELEASE , IT FAILED TO RETURN BACK TO THE CENTER . I HAD FORCE THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE CENTER . I CONTACT FORD DEALER FOR DIAGNOSE BUT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE FIND . THIS OCCUR 1ST TIME AT 35,000 MILES , EVER SINCE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES , DEALER COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM . MY WIFE AND I BOTH DRIVE THE TRUCK , WE HOPE NOT TO GET IN TO BAD ACCIDENT .

LOOSE AND/ OR VAGUE STEERING AT SPEED AND /OR STRAIGHT OR TURNING. FEELS DISCONNECTED.

ON JUNE 15, 2018 I HAD A TONE ALERT AND MESSAGE ON THE DASH OF MY 2015 F150 APPEAR WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION INDICATING A "LOW BRAKE FLUID" WARNING. I APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT APPEARED TO BE NORMAL. I TRAVELED A SHORT DISTANCE TO A PARKING LOT AND STOPPED. I RETURNED AFTER 20 MINUTES AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE TO START THE TRUCK THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FIREWALL. I RAISED THE HOOD AND SAW ABOUT 1/8 INCH OF FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. I CALLED AAA HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO TRI-LAKES FORD IN BRANSON MISSOURI. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE.

DRIVING AT A HIGHWAY SPEED OF 65 MPH, THE BRAKE FLUID LIGHT APPEARED. I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN, USING THE BRAKES TO PULL OVER,, WITHIN A FEW MINUTES I LOST ALL BRAKE ABILITY WHEN THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A SAFE LOCATION AND LOOK AT THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WHICH WAS EMPTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, RAIN WATER ENTERED INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE PANORAMIC SUN ROOF. LAURA FORD (47 N SERVICE RD E, SULLIVAN, MISSOURI) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIAGNOSED THAT THE PLASTIC TRACKS WERE FAULTY, WHICH ALLOWED WATER TO ENTER INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: 151-295-80. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

DRIVING ON THE INSIDE LANE ON A STRAIGHT ROAD WITH NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME. HALFWAY PAST PASSING A MEDIUM SIZE BOX TRUCK IN THE OUTSIDE LANE MY TRUCK FLASHED COLLISION AVOIDANCE AND SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES FOR ONE SECOND. IT IMMEDIATELY RELEASED AND SPED UP TO WHERE I HAD THE CRUISE PREVIOUSLY SET AT 65 MPH. FORD DEALER SAID THEY APPLIED THE FACTORY COMPUTER RESET 30 MONTHS EARLIER WHILE OWNED BY THE ORIGINAL BUYER. RECALL # 15S29. DEALER SAID HE COULD DO NOTHING MORE.

PULLING OUT IN MOTION ON TO A BUSY STREET I LOST ALL POWER STEERING ALMOST GETTING INTO A MAJOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT. ONCE LOSING POWERS STEERING CAUSE ME TO GO IN OTHER LANES OF TRAFFIC. *TR

ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE A FLAT ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE LUG NUTS OFF BECAUSE THE FORD STANDARD WRENCH SUPPLIED WITH THE JACK KIT IS TOO SMALL AND WOULDN'T FIT ONTO THE NUTS EVEN WHEN TRYING TO FORCE IT ON BY BANGING ON IT WITH A ROCK. I WAS LEFT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS WAITING FOR AAA TO BRING THE CORRECT SIZED SOCKET. THE AAA SERVICE MAN SAID THAT HE HAD TO USE A 7/8 SOCKET. THIS SITUATION PUT ME IN UNNECESSARY DANGER AND IS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO OPEN RECALL AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO HAVE A FORD DEALERSHIP LOOK AT THE ISSUE. THEY ALSO SAID I WOULD MOST LIKELY HAVE TO PAY FOR A CORRECTLY SIZED LUG NUT WRENCH.

WHILE USING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ON MY 2015 FORD F-150 (KING RANCH), MY TRUCK WILL CONFUSE A DUMP TRUCK AS A STOPPED OR SLOW MOVING VEHICLE IN FRONT OF MY TRUCK. THIS WILL HAPPEN IF A DUMP TRUCK IS IN THE LANE BESIDE ME OR IN OPPOSING LANES. THIS OCCURS AT SOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. MULTIPLE TIMES THIS HAS OCCURRED AT 65MPH+ IN TRAFFIC. THE TRUCK WILL VERY ABRUPTLY APPLY THE BREAKS AND THE COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM WILL ALERT. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED VERY SERIOUS WRECKS DUE TO THE SPEEDS THAT IT OFTEN OCCURS. THIS IS ALSO NOT A SELDOM OCCURANCE, IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I PASS BY A DUMP TRUCK. IT WILL OCCUR ON ANY AND EVERY STREET. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DELEARSHIP AND THEIR SOLUTION HAD NO EFFECT ON THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE BRAKES BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR SEAL ON THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER DISINTEGRATED, WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000. *TT

I LOST ALL BREAK FUNCTION WHILE TRAVELING 40 MPH AND HAD TO USE MY E-BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP. FORD AND MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP ADMIT THAT THE ISSUE WAS A DEFECTIVE BRAKE FLUID MASTER CYLINDER.
