2015 Ford F-150 complaints

WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK IT BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND THEN THE ENGINE STOPPED COMPLETELY. I WAS JUST SHY OF A BUSY INTERSECTION AND HAD NO POWER. THE ERROR MESSAGE WAS "DRIVER HILL ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE" WHICH DID NOT CORRELATE TO THE PROBLEM AT ALL. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ALSO ILLUMINATED. AFTER GETTING THE TRUCK TO THE FORD SERVICE CENTER THEY FOUND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY (ETB) HAD FAILED. I HAVE 50,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE SHOP SAID THAT THEY NORMALLY DO NOT STOCK MANY PARTS BUT THIS WAS ONE THEY ALWAYS KEEP IN STOCK. THE TECHNICIAN CLAIMED HE HAD SEEN 20+ FAILURES IN THE FAST YEAR. RESEARCH ON LINE INDICATED THAT THERE IS MORE THAN 60,000 COMPLAINTS IN FORD VEHICLES REGARDING THE FAILURE OF THIS ETB. THERE WAS ACTION INITIATED BY THE NHTS AND A RECALL WAS WAIVED PROVIDED THAT FORD EXTEND WARRANTY FOR THIS PART. THAT DID NOT HAPPEN IN MY CASE. MY BILL WAS $604.92 MORE IMPORTANTLY I COULD HAVE LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT INTERSECTION OR DURING A LONG DRIVE HOME WHERE NO CELL RECEPTION WAS POSSIBLE. I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE BROKEN DOWN IN A TOWN WITH A FORD SERVICE CENTER BEFORE MY 3.5 HOUR TRIP BACK TO DENVER. FYI, I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY SAID THAT I WAS NOT PART OF A "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM"... INTERESTING CHOICE OF WORDS, BECAUSE I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I WAS PART OF ANYTHING AT FORD NOR WERE THEY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IN FACT, THEY CLAIMED IT WAS NOT A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM.

WHILE IN MOTION TRUCK CYCLES TO FULL ACCESSORY POWER. MUST PULL OVER TO SHOULDER, PUT INTO PARK, AND RESTART ENGINE. DRIVEWAYS, CITY STREETS, HWYS, IT KNOWS NO BOUNDS. THIS IS DANGEROUS!!!! AN EXAMPLE OF THIS BEING LARGER THAN JUST ME: HTTPS://WWW.FORD-TRUCKS.COM/FORUMS/1458449-ACCESSORY-POWER-QUESTION-WITH-PUSH-BUTTON-START.HTML AND NUMEROUS OTHER CASES OUT THERE! THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 10 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE FEB 2015. 10 TIMES OR MORE OF NEAR MISSES WITH TRAGEDY. DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIX BECAUSE THIS DOES NOT THROW AN ERROR CODE.

UNKNOWN IF TAKATA RECALL OR OTHER AIR BAG ISSUE. I AM INVESTIGATING OFFICER NOT VEHICLE OWNER. OBSERVED THAT POST MOVING 2 CAR INTERSECTION CRASH AND AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, B-PILLAR STARTED ON FIRE, MELTING SEAT BELT, MOST OF B-PILLAR AND PARTS OF CURTAIN AND SIDE AIRBAGS. FIRE PUT ITSELF OUT. OWNER WAS NOT INJURED BUT CONCERNED. HEAT APPEARED TO HAVE MELTED SEAT BELT THROUGH, AIR BAGS WERE BURNT. CASE#M18-1676

MY TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR FAULT LIGHT STAYS ON FOR NO REASON.

THIS ISSUE HAS NOW HAPPENED 6 TIMES WITHOUT SHOWING A PATTERN. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOSES ALL THROTTLE POWER AND THE MESSAGE CENTER DISPLAYS 'SERVICE ADVANCETRAC' 'HILL START ASSIST DISABLED' AND THE ABS AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BACK ROADS AT SLOWER SPEEDS AND ON HIGHWAYS AT 70 MPH. AGAIN, ALL THROTTLE POWER IS LOST. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED ON NUMEROUS FORUMS AND THERE HAVE BEEN 2 CONSENSUS FIXES, REPLACE THROTTLE BODY AND AN APPARENT ISSUE WITH THE TIGHTNESS OF A THROTTLE CABLE.

RECALL REMEDY DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE DRIVER DOOR DOESN'T LATCH AFTER OPENING WHEN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS BELOW FREEZING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE, THE FIRST TIME LESS THAN 10 DAYS AFTER THE RECALL REMEDY WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. MY TRUCK HAS PUSH-BUTTON START WITH KEYLESS ENTRY. THE DOOR UNLOCKS WHEN MY HAND IS DETECTED ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR HANDLE AND THE KEY FOB IS IN MY POSSESSION. THE FIRST INCIDENCE: I OBSERVED THE LOCK BUTTON POPPED UP AS I GRABBED THE DOOR HANDLE, UPON PULLING THE HANDLE, THE DOOR OPENS. I GOT INTO THE TRUCK, STARTED IT, THEN GOT OUT, BEFORE I ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE DOOR. I CLOSED THE DOOR, BUT INSTEAD OF LATCHING, I NOTICED IT BOUNCED OPEN AND RESTED A COUPLE OF INCHES FROM ITS CLOSED POSITION. A SECOND, THIRD, AND FOURTH ATTEMPT TO PUSH THE DOOR CLOSED ENDED WITH THE SAME RESULT. ACTUATING THE INSIDE HANDLE DID NOT CHANGE THE SYMPTOM. ACTUATING THE POWER DOOR LOCK, WHICH CYCLED BACK TO UNLOCK, DUE TO THE ENGINE RUNNING, DID NOT CHANGE THE SYMPTOM. I PRESSED THE POWER LOCK BUTTON AND QUICKLY PULLED THE DOOR HANDLE BEFORE THE UNLOCK CYCLE EXECUTED, THE LOCK BUTTON STAYED DOWN (LOCKED), THEN I CLOSED THE DOOR, THE DOOR LATCHED. I UNLOCKED THE DOOR AND OPENED IT, THEN CLOSED IT, IT LATCHED AND OPERATED NORMALLY. THE SECOND INCIDENT: THE DOOR BOUNCED OPEN, JUST LIKE THE FIRST INCIDENT. THE DOOR LATCH CONTINUED TO MISBEHAVE UNTIL I PRESSED THE MANUAL LOCK BUTTON THEN CLOSED THE DOOR. THE DOOR LATCHED. I PRESSED THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY

THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL NEEDS TO BE REBUILT. POSSIBLE FAILURE DUE TO FAILED BEARING SEALS. CAUSING NOISE THAT WILL LEAD TO BEARING, AXLE FAILURE. WHEN I DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM EVERYONE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I ASKED IF IT WAS A RECALL THEY SAID NO. IT REALLY NEEDED TO BE FIXED AND WOULD BE AROUND $1000.00.. I WAS VERY SURPRISED THEY "EVERYONE" KNEW EXCEPT FOR ME!! SEEMS LIKE IF IT IS "MOST" OR "ALL" THEN FORD TO TELL CUSTOMERS. FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILS AT 55 MPH THAT IS GOING TO BE A BIG PROBLEM FOR SOMEONE!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE DRIVER'S DOOR OPENED WITHOUT WARNING. GULLO FORD IN CONROE, TEXAS WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V652000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES).

FRONT LEFT BRAKE LINE RUPTURED, RESULTING IN LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID, DEPRESSES BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOORBOARD. NO STOPPING POWER. BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY ON THIS OCCASION. NO ACCIDENT. SAME LINE ON RIGHT FRONT RUPTURED LESS THAN A YEAR AGO, EXACT SAME RESULT. LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT BUT WAS AT A STOP LIGHT ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN PEDAL WHEN STRAIGHT TO FLOOR

FROM DAY ONE THE PASSENGER SIDE SHOULDER HARNESS PERIODICALLY WOULDN'T TAKE HOLD, FORCING PASSENGER TO SLIDE SEAT WELL BACK FROM DASHBOARD TO AVOID INJURY. IT WAS REPLACED ONCE AND IS BETTER THAN BEFORE BUT STILL OCCASIONALLY FAILS. BRAKES WERE EXTREMELY GRABBY FROM DAY ONE, BUT WE DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR 30000 MILES BEFORE TAKING IT IN DUE TO VIBRATION DURING ANY BRAKING SINCE APPROX 25000 MILES. ROTORS WERE RTURNED AND FINALLY THE VEHICLE BRAKES NORMALLY, HELPFUL BECAUSE IT IS LESS LIKELY THAT BRAKING WILL SEND PASSENGER LURCHING FORWARD WHEN FAULTY SHOULDER HARNESS WON'T HOLD.

THE BRAKES ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES ARE MAKING LOUD NOISES WHEN DRIVING AND BRAKING

2015 FORD F150 SUPERCREW DOOR LATCH RECALL. THE DOOR LATCH IS KNOWN TO FAIL , FORD ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS ISSUE IN SPRING OF 2016. THE DRIVERS DOOR ON MY WIFES 2015 F150 FLEW OPEN AFTER LEAVING OUR DRIVEWAY ABOUT 150 YARDS FROM OUR HOME. FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND SENT NO NOTICE TO US, THE DOOR STILL WON'T CLOSE THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTIN FOR OVER A WEEK NOW. FORD KEEPS TELLING US WE HAVE TO WORK WITH THE DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM, I ASKED THEM HOW I WOULD EVEN GET THE TRUCK BACK THERE TO FIX WHEN I CAN'T SHUT THE DOORS, AND THEIR ANSWER WAS THE SAME, YOU WILL HAVE TO WORK THAT OUT WITH YOUR FORD DEALER.WHEN THEY WERE ASKED IS FORD GOING TO PAY TO HAVE IT TOWED, AGAIN THEY SAID YOU WILL HAVE TO WORK THAT OUT WITH YOUR DEALER.I MAY HAVE TO WAIT AS LONG AS 3 OR MORE WEEKS BEFORE THE DEALER GETS THE PARTS, BUT THE TRUCK CAN NOT BE DRIVEN.????? WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO!???

SADLY, WE FEEL WE HAVE PURCHASED A LEMON OCCASIONALLY ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION SQUEALS/GRINDS, IF ACCELERATE TOO QUICKLY/POWER UP.,AND NOW, ON COLD DAYS [TEMPS LOW 40S & UNDER] HEAR RUBBING/GRINDING WHIRRING AT LEFT FRONT TIRE? GETS LOUDER WHEN DEPRESS BRAKE, AND CAN FEEL IN BRAKE PEDAL. SOUND OCCURS DURING SLOW FORWARD SPEED 2-40 MPH, ON GRAVEL DRIVEWAY OR PAVED ROAD. SCHEDULED SERVICE TODAY FOR NOISE; THEY WERE MORE INTERESTED IN FIXING RECALL ITEM [LOCKS - RPR TIME 3+HRS], IF THEY HAD PARTS IN STOCK. RECALL SRVC COMPLETED [UNDER 1 HR], AND "NO NOISE WAS HEARD." I REQUESTED FURTHER LOOK FOR CAUSE OF NOISE, SERVICE ADVISOR SAID QUICK LANE WOULD CHECK SUSPENSION?. 2 HRS LATER, NOTHING SEEN, NOTHING HEARD, NOTHING REPAIRED. AS I PULLED AWAY FROM DEALERSHIP, HAVING SIGNED OFF ON SERVICE, THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY BEGAN MAKING THE NOISE [FUNNY SERV ADVSR DIDN'T HEAR WHEN HE BROUGHT TRUCK AROUND?]. I DROVE LESS THAN 1/10 MILE BACK TO DEALERSHIP, TOOK THE SERVICE ADVISOR FOR RIDE; AT WHICH POINT HE ACKNOWLEDGED HE HEARD NOISE, BUT TRIED TO ASSURE ME IT'S A 'TIRE ISSUE.' MY HUSBAND AND I BELIEVE OTHERWISE - THIS IS NOT TIRE NOISE, THE NOISE NEVER CRESCENDOS OR CHANGES PITCH WITH INCREASE OR DECREASE SPEED, ON GRAVEL OR ASPHALT, AND WE HAVE NEVER FELT 'TIRE NOISE' IN BRAKE PEDAL. THIS NOISE/FRICTION MERELY CEASES AFTER YOU'VE DRIVEN A FEW MINUTES [FOR NOW]. SERVICE ADVISOR ASSURED ME I WAS NOT DOING ANY FURTHER DAMAGE TO TRUCK, CONTINUING TO DRIVE IT WITHOUT RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. I A

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,500.

REAR DOOR WILL NOT LATCH OR STAY CLOSED IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES

ALL DOOR LATCHES BECOME INOPERABLE, WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE (LATCH), DURING WET AND OR COLD WEATHER. RECEIVED TSB NOTICE FROM FORD NOV. 2017, CALLED DEALER, TOLD PARTS NOT IN, WE'LL CALL. AS OF 2/8/2018, STILL NO PARTS IN PER DEALER. THIS IS BECOMING A SERIOUS ISSUE WHEN DOORS WON'T OPEN OR SECURELY CLOSE. THE PROBLEM BEGAN IN 2017, BEFORE THE TSB WAS ISSUED AND HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE.

THROTTLE BODY FAILED CAUSING THE TRUCK TO ENTER LIMP MODE SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH BY BEING REAR ENDED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN TRYING TO ENTER A HWY OR INTERSTATE HWY. MULTIPLE ELECTRONIC MODULE FAILURES SINCE NEW. TRUCK IS A DEATH TRAP.

TAIL GATE LATCH FAILS TO LATCH IN WEATHER 20 DEGREES OR LOWER. CAUSING TAIL GATE TO DROP UNEXPENTLY WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE LATCH TO BRAKE.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2015 F150 ON A LOCAL STREET AND WANTED TO TURN OFF THE RADIO SO SHE COULD SPEAK WITH ME. SHE ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE START/STOP BUTTON AND THE ENGINE SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. WE WERE DOING 35 MPH AT THE TIME AND THE TRUCK WAS IN "DRIVE." WE MANAGED TO WRESTLE THE TRUCK TO A STOP, PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART WITH NO PROBLEM. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. I TESTED IT LATER IN OUR DRIVEWAY AND THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT IN A "PUSH BUTTON START/STOP" YOU SHOULD EVER BE ABLE TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF WHILE IN MOTION AND IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. I CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP MAINTENANCE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT WAS "NORMAL."

POPPING AND BINDING IN STEERING WHEN ON CITY ROADS. MORE PRONE IN WARMER WEATHER.

DOORS WILL NOT LATCH WHEN IT GETS COLD OUT. 10 DEGREES OR LOWER.

INOPERATIVE WINDSHIELD WASHER JETS WHEN TEMPERATURE IS BELOW FREEZING. THIS HAPPENS ANYTIME THE ROADS ARE WET FROM SALT SPRAY AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE AND DANGEROUS TO STOP ALONG SIDE THE ROAD TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD. SEE FORD TSB 16-0082

WHILE DRIVING AS YOU TRY TO MAINTAIN SPEED AT A LOWER RPM THE TRANS FEELS LIKE SHAKING OR MAKES A NOISE OF RATTLING, AND ALSO HARD DOWN SHIFTS FROM 5TH TO 4TH TO 3RD GEAR, I HAVE IT LOOKED AT AT 2 DEALERSHIPS AND ONE SAID NOTHING WRONG AND THE SECOND ONE SAID THE RATTLING NOISE WAS THE SKID GUARD WASN'T TIGHT ENOUGH SUPPOSEDLY THEY DID TIGHT IT BUT NOISE IS STILL THERE

ALL, I HAVE A RECALL ON DOOR LATCHES, BUT A CAUSE MAYBE WATER GETTING IN THE DOORS, THEN FREEZING. YOU TRY TO OPEN AND BENDING ON RODS OCCUR. I HAVE APPROX 2 GALLONS OF WATER IN DOOR, AND FORD SAYS CLEAN OUT DRAIN...WHEN IS A DOOR SUPPOSED TO GET SOAKED AND HOLD WATER INSIDE? THIS CAN CAUSE LOTS OF PROBLEMS IN FUTURE. LOOK AT YOU TUBE VIDEOS 1000 HAVING THE PROBLEM. SO BAD IT'S GOING UNDER THE FLOOR. IN THE WORLD OF FLOODING A VEHICLE AND TOTALING DOES THIS BECOME THE ISSUE? IM AFRAID TO LOOK UNDER MY FLOOR, BECAUSE I WILL BECOME VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I'M A LIFE LONG FORD OWNER AND LOOKING FOR GUIDANCE PLEASE.. I CALLED CORPERATE FORD FROM 1PM TO 215 PM ON 1/12/18 AND GET A RECORDING THEY CAN'T TAKE CALL GO TO FORD OWNER SITE AND HANG UP. IT'S THE 800 NUMBER EVERYONE CALLS. WHY IM HERE.. WATER GETS IN DOOR WHEN RAINING.

I'VE HAD MY TRUCK FOR JUST UNDER 2 YEARS AND 42,000 AND THE FUEL PUMP, RELAY AND MODULAR WENT OUT. FORD IS NOT COVERING THIS UNDER WARRANTY. ONE OF THESE ITEMS IS ON BACK ORDER. SO I FEEL THAT THIS MAYBE A FAULTY PART. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO LOOK INTO THIS. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. MY CAR JUST STALLED IN A PARKING LOT. WHAT IF I WAS ON A HIGHWAY I COULD HAVE GOTTEN REAR ENDED AND KILLED. PLEASE HOLD FORD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ISSUE. I ALSO DONT WANT TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR THIS EITHER.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH THE TRUCK SHUTTERED VIOLENTLY AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. IMMEDIATELY IT FLASHED A WARNING THAT THE "HILL CLIMB ASSIST" MALFUNCTIONED FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY A WRENCH SYMBOL NOTIFYING THAT SERVICE WAS NEEDED THEN ANOTHER WARNING ABOUT THE ADVANCE TRAC SYSTEM THEN BACK TO THE HILL CLIMB ASSIST SYMBOL. ALL OF THIS HAPPENING WHILE THE CAR BEHIND ME IS ALMOST SIDEWAYS TRYING TO AVOID ME. I EVENTUALLY MADE IT TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. AS I READ THE VARIOUS WARNINGS IT SAID TO REFER TO THE OWNERS MANUAL WITH REGARDS TO THE HILL CLIMB ASSIST. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, PULLED OUT THE OWNERS MANUAL ONLY TO FIND A DESCRIPTION OF THE HILL CLIMB ASSIST FEATURE. AFTER WAITING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES I DECIDED TO TURN ON THE IGNITION. THE TRUCK STARTED WITHOUT ISSUE AND I CONTINUED HOME CAUTIOUSLY IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 2 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER DOOR BECAME AJAR. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CLOSE THE DOOR, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO IPSWICH FORD (105 COUNTY RD, IPSWICH, MA 01938, (978) 356-6850) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V652000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) AND THAT THE FAILURE WAS ATTRIBUTED TO THE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE IT STALLED IN MIDDLE OF STREET IN TRAFFIC. IT WOULD NOT RESTART. PUSHED TRUCK TO SIDE OF ROAD. HAD TRUCK TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. HAS BAD FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE AND FUEL PUMP NOT WORKING PROPERLY. TRUCK HAS 42,000 MILES ON IT. FORD HAS ALREADY RECALLED 91,000 VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE BUT NOT INCLUDE THE F-150.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 FORD F-150. AFTER 15 MINUTES OF BEING PARKED IN A PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE AROUND THE FRONT END. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

WHILE TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT 60 MPH (POSTED HIGHWAY PEED LIMIT) THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DOWN-SHIFTED TO A MUCH LOWER GEAR (1ST OR 2ND?), CAUSING ENGINE RPMS TO DRAMATICALLY INCREASE. I RESPONDED TO THE UNINTENDED CONDITION BY TAKING SUDDEN DRAMATIC BRAKING ACTION. THIS RESOLVED THIS INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE IS 2 YEARS, 3 MONTHS OLD WITH SLIGHTLY OVER 22,000 MILES, AND IS SCHEDULED FOR THE DEALER TO CONDUCT A "TRANSMISSION CODE REVIEW" ON 01/10/18.

AT TEMPERATURES OF 20F-22F WINDSHIELD WIPER PUMP LOSES PRESSURE AND CAN NOT PUMP WIPER FLUID. DEALERSHIP BRINGS TRUCK INSIDE, WARMS TRUCK AND CLAIMS IT WAS FROZEN AND NOW IT WORKS. AFTER DRIVING 15 MINUTES IN 20F-22F PUMP INITIALLY WORKED THEN STARTED TO LOSE PRESSURE AGAIN, RESULTING IN FAILURE TO PUMP WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID. YOU COULD SEE THE PUMP PUMPING LESS AND LESS AS YOU DRIVE. THIS CAUSES A CONDITION WHERE IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT THE WINDOW AND VISION IS IMPAIRED. ALSO USING PREMIUM DEICER WASHER FLUID, NOT STANDARD WIPER FLUID, (RAIN-X DEICER) THAT HAS A TENDENCY TO FREEZE IN THE NORTH EAST DURING WINTER.

PASSENGER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT OPERATE WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW FREEZING. DOOR WILL OPEN WHILE DRIVING IF THE TEMP THAWS THE DOOR. BROUGHT TO THE DEALER OVER 3 TIMES. APPARENTLY THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT MY PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT PROBABLY SHOULD BE.

44,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND THE EPAS IS GOING OUT! $1800 REPAIR NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY! NEAR MISS COLLISION DUE TO POWER STEERING WORKING AND THEN WITHOUT WARNING NO POWER ASSIST WHILE DRIVING. DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE TRUCK GOING STRAIGHT DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHILE IT IS ACTING UP INTERMITTENT.

IN COLD WEATHER 1 OR MORE OF THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK ELECTRICALLY. BEEN A PROBLEM FOR 2 YEARS NOW. DEALER HAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS.

SEVERAL NON STARTING ISSUES. ON ONE OCCASION, INSTRUMENT PANEL DID NOT COME ON AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH NO INDICATION OF SPEED, ENGINE/TRANSMISSION INFORMATION, AND OTHER VITAL DATA. AFTER SEVERAL RESTARTS, INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON AFTER A 45 SECOND DELAY. A WRENCH WARNING ICON WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY SERVICING DEALER THE FOLLOWING DAY. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, SO NO REPAIR WAS MADE. THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. WE WERE PARKED ON A CITY STREET. THIS TRUCK HAS HAD SEVERAL ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. I HAVE SEVERAL SERVICE RECORDS WHICH I WILL SUPPLY IF NEEDED TO HELP YOUR INVESTIGATION.

DOOR LATCHES ARE FREEZING UP, EVEN AFTER THE RECALL "FIX" OF A WATER DIVERSION SHIELD. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER TO TRY TO HAVE IT PROPERLY FIXED AND THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AS, THE PARTS WE ALREADY INSTALLED. IT HAS BEEN FREEZING UP EVERY TIME IT'S BELOW 32 AND I AM UNABLE TO GET INTO THE BACK SEAT WITHOUT CRAWLING THROUGH THE FRONT AND MANUALLY UNLOCKING FROM WITHIN. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY FACTOR IF THERE WERE TO BE AN ACCIDENT AND ONE OF MY KIDS WAS TRAPPED IN THE BACK, AMONG OTHER ISSUES OF INCONVENIENCE.

MY TRUCK ODOMETER SHOWS I HAVE 26582 MILES ON THE TRUCK. AND THE ENGINE HOURS SHOWS I HAVE 867 HOURS. HOWEVER RUSTY WALLACE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID I HAVE 63000 MILES ACCORDING TO THE PCM!!! I HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO FIX THE TRUCK UNDER WARRANTY. I CONTENT THAT THE TRUCK IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO THE ODOMETER. I HAVE PICTURES THAT SHOW I WAS DOING 72 MILES A HOUR AND ON THE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER BUT THE OTHER SPEEDOMETER SHOWED I WAS DOING 90 MILES A HOUR. I PARKED THE TRUCK AND IT STILLED SHOWED I WAS DOING 20 MPH. I HAVE ATTACHED THE PHOTOS.

LARSON FORD DEALER (1150 OCEAN AVE, LAKEWOOD, NJ 08701) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID FAILED TO DISPERSE THROUGH THE JETS WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE TEMPERATURE WAS EXTREMELY LOW DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO IPSWICH FORD (105 COUNTY RD, IPSWICH, MA 01938 (978) 356-6850) SEVERAL TIMES, BUT A CAUSE OF FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. WHILE DRIVING IN EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER WITH SALT ON THE ROAD, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO OPERATE THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID, BUT THE FLUID FAILED TO DISPENSE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT DROVE INTO A SNOW BANK. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED OUT OF THE SNOW BANK AND DRIVEN HOME. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,000.

DOORS WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED WHEN TEMPERATURES DROP BELOW FREEZING. I HAD MY VEHICLE BROUGHT INTO THE DEALER EARLIER THIS YEAR TO REPLACE THE LATCHES AND INSTALL THE DOOR GUTTER. TODAY WAS THE FIRST FROST SINCE THAT WORK WAS COMPLETED AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT CLOSE ONCE AGAIN. FORDS FIX TO THIS ISSUE DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN AGAIN SO THEY CAN REPLACE THE LATCHES AGAIN. I ATTEMPTED TO CALL FORD TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THEIR FIX IS NOT A PERMANENT FIX. THIS MORNING MY DOOR FLUNG OPEN GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY. WHILE I DID NOT FALL OUT I SUSPECT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME AND FORD NEEDS TO FIND A REAL FIX TO THIS PROBLEM RATHER THAN WASTE TIME ON A SOLUTION THAT HAS PROVEN ITSELF NOT TO FIX THE ISSUE.

I RECENTLY RECEIVED A RECALL 17V-652 FROM FORD FOR AN ISSUE WITH DOOR LATCHES. IN THE RECALL NOTICE THEY STATE IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR TO CALL THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED IMMEDIATELY. MY DOOR HAS SWUNG OPEN TWICE WHILE DRIVING BOTH TIMES WITH MY SONS IN THE FRONT SEAT. MOST RECENTLY THIS MORNING. I CALLED THE DEALER NORTH COUNTRY FORD IN COON RAPIDS MN AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART TO FIX IT. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY SAID TO CALL THE DEALER. TRUCK IS NOT USEABLE IN THE WINTER AS IS. TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT SAFETY CONCERN ON FORD F-150 INTAKE THROTTLE FAILURES. I BELIEVE THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PART FOR A DIFFERENT S/N RANGE OF FORD F-150. THIS VIN WAS NOT IN THE LIST. WHEN THIS FAILS, YOU LOSE ALL POWER AND TRUCK GOES INTO NEUTRAL. WAS TOWING LOADED TRAILER IN 4 LANES OF HIGH SPEED INTERSTATE CITY DRIVING. ALMOST WAS IN SERIOUS ACCIDENT. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE DID NOTHING OR INDICATE THAT THEY WERE GOING TO LOOK AT S/N RANGE IMPACTED. I AM A CHIEF ENGINEER AT CATERPILLAR. I UNDERSTAND THE BUSINESS OF EFFECTIVE S/N AND WHAT IS INCLUDED IN MANDATORY RECALLS. THEIR LACK OF ACTION IS A CONCERN.

WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE FALLS BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT UNLOCK ELECTRICALLY OR MANUALLY. THE BACK DOORS HAVE BEEN OPENED MANUALLY AFTER CLIMBING OVER THE CONSOLE INTO THE BACK SEAT AND USING INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BUT THEN HAVE NOT LATCHED FULLY WHEN CLOSING ALLOWING DOOR TO COME OPEN UPON DRIVING. I CLIMBED OVER THE CONSOLE TO OPEN THE BACK DOOR THIS MORNING AND IT WOULDN'T OPEN MANUALLY TRAPPING ME IN THE BACK SEAT AT BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURE BECAUSE I COULD NOT CLIMB BACK OVER THE FRONT SEATS. THIS ISSUE WAS FIRST FILED WITH NHTSA 12/30/2016. DEALER SAID THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED IN MARCH 2017 BUT IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN. I HAVE HAD TO TIE A ROPE FROM HANDLE TO HANDLE IN THE BACK SEAT TO KEEP THE DOORS CLOSED. CAN NOT SAFELY PUT CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT FOR FEAR OF THEM FALLING OUT. THIS TRUCK SHOULD BE RED FLAGGED UNTIL SAFE TO OPERATE. FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS FAILED TO FIX THIS TSB 15-0052 AND TSB 16-0155 PROPERLY AND SAFELY. THE VEHICLE IS USUALLY PARKED IN DRIVEWAY WHEN THE DOOR LOCKS ARE FROZEN BUT HAS ONE TIME BEEN IN MOTION WITH THE BACK DOORS NOT LATCHED FULLY CAUSING THEM TO COME OPEN DRIVING AROUND CORNERS BEFORE I TIED THE DOORS TOGETHER. *JS
