2015 Ford F-150 complaints

WHEN MOVING IN REVERSE OR DRIVE, FROM A STOP, THE REAR END MAKES A LOUD POPPING SOUND. (THOUGHT MY SPARE TIRE HAD COME LOOSE. VERIFIED THAT WAS NOT THE CASE) WHILE DRIVING ON A ROADWAY AND TURNING CORNERS, YOU CAN FEEL THE REAR END SWAY AS IF THE AXLE SHAFTS ARE TOO LONG WHICH CAUSES THE REAR END TO FEEL LOOSE. EFFECTS DRIVEABILITY.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. BRAKE FLUID LOW WARNING ILLUMINATED AND COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES. THIS CAME ON VERY FAST. WITHIN 10 MINS OF LEAVING HOME. FURTHER INSPECTION, ONCE AT MY OFFICE, FOUND THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID LEAKING FROM THE LINES, CALIPERS, OR EXTERIOR OF MASTER CYLINDER. BRAKE FLUID MUST HAVE LEAKED INTO THE BOOSTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. DURING COLD WEATHER, THE DOOR MECHANISM FROZE AND CAUSED THE DOOR LOCKS TO MALFUNCTION. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE DOORS WOULD NOT REMAIN LOCKED. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR ERRONEOUSLY OPENED WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A TSB FOR THE FAILURE, BUT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE TSB INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE THAT FORD HAS FAIL TO RESOLVE.. CHROME PLATED LUGS NUTS ARE BECOMING SWOLLEN AND THE ISSUED LUG WRENCH WILL NOT WORK ON THE LUGS.. THE LOCAL SERVICE DEPART STATED THE FORD REFUSED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.. IF THE VEHICLE IF OUT OF WARRANTY, THE CONSUMER WILL BE FORCED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED UNTIL THE RIGHT SIZE LUG WRENCH CAN BE FITTED.. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A UNWARRANTED UNKNOWN COST TO CONSUMERS DUE TO A KNOWN DEFECT.. JUST A RANDOM SEARCH OF THE INTERNET FOR SWOLLEN LUG NUTS AND YOU WILL SEE ALL THE COMPLAINTS.. CAN YOU IMAGE SOMEBODY WITH A NEW VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE A TIRE AND THE ISSUED LUG WRENCH WILL NOT WORK.. MY LUGS WERE REPLACE BY THE DEALER ON JAN 31ST, 2016 HERE IS AN ONLINE FORD FORUM. HTTP://WWW.F150FORUM.COM/F118/SWOLLEN-LUG-NUTS-365302/ AGAIN, THIS HAS BEEN A ISSUE FOR MANY YEARS AND I AM SURE NUMEROUS CONSUMERS HAD BEEN CONFRONTED WITH THIS.. A SIMPLE ONLINE RESEARCH WILL SHOW THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS.. THE FUNNY PART, THEY PUT THEY SAME LUG NUTS BACK ON MY VEHICLE AFTER THE REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING AN OIL CHANGE, THE DEALER NOTICED THAT OIL WAS LEAKING ONTO THE SKID PLATE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL PAN FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 24,000.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH IN COLD WEATHER. IT HAS LEFT MY TRUCK STRANDED MULTIPLE TIMES. AS SOON AS THE OUTSIDE TEMP GETS ABOVE FREEZING THE DOOR WILL LATCH AS NORMAL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS.

WHEN THE WEATHER TEMP FALLS BELOW ZERO IN THE NEGATIVES. MY PASSAGERS SIDE DOORS FREEZE SHUT. THEY WILL NOT UNLATCH OR UNLOCK, THE CONDITION MAKES A VEHICLE UNSAFE FOR EMERGENCY EXITS.

MY 2015 FORD F-150 WAS PARKED ON MY DRIVEWAY. DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK IN 14* NORTHERN MICHIGAN TEMPERATURES. MY KEY FOB, DOOR KEY, AND KEYPAD WOULD NOT OPEN THE LOCKS AFTER THE TRUCK WAS REMOTELY STARTED. AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF ME OR MY FAMILY WERE PARTICIPATING IN COLD WEATHER OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES IN REMOTE AREAS. PLEASE REFER TO MY UPLOADED DOCUMENT WHICH DESCRIBES THE SITUATION AS IT UNFOLDED. I HAVE READ IN ONLINE FORUMS OF OTHER F-150 OWNERS HAVING THE SAME KIND OF DOOR LOCK ISSUES. I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY SAFETY RECALLS FROM FORD. I AM WONDERING WHY. DOORS THAT WILL NOT OPEN ARE DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES. PARTICULARLY IN COLD WEATHER STATES LIKE MICHIGAN.

THIS IS A WORK TRUCK DRIVEN BY SEVERAL PEOPLE. VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES KEEP ACCELERATING WITHOUT PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. ALSO WILL NOT DISENGAGE CRUISE CONTROL. HAVE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND WAIT A FEW SECONDS FOR ENGINE RPM TO LOWER. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON. HAS BEEN TO FORD DEALER ON 12/05/16 AND 12/20/16-1/10/17. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE PROBLEM.

THE TRUCKS DOORS AND LOCKS OFTEN WILL FREEZE IN COLD WEATHER. THE LOCKS MIGHT NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS, SOMETIMES YOU'LL HEAR THE ACTUATOR TRYING TO UNLOCK THE DOOR, OTHER TIMES IT IS SO FROZEN YOU WON'T EVEN HEAR THE ATTEMPT. THE DOORS CAN'T BE UNLOCKED WITH THE KEY EITHER. ONCE YOU'VE HEATED THE MECHANISM ENOUGH TO ENTER THROUGH ONE OF THE DOORS (PER INTERNET POSTINGS AND SERVICE BULLETINS, THE PROBLEM IS ONLY WITH CREW CABS) THE LATCH THAT KEEPS THE DOOR CLOSED IS STILL FROZEN IN THE OPEN POSITION MEANING YOU CAN'T CLOSE AND LATCH THE DOOR. READING INTERNET POSTS ABOUT THE PROBLEM, I SEE THAT PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AROUND HOLDING THEIR DOORS CLOSED AND DOING OTHER DUMB AND UNSAFE THINGS. I TALKED TO MY DEALER IN DECEMBER AND THEN AGAIN IN LATE JANUARY. I WAS TOLD BOTH TIMES THAT THEY AREN'T GETTING THE PARTS FROM FORD UNTIL HOPEFULLY LATE MARCH 2017 TO START FIXING THE PROBLEM. I SPOKE WITH ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THAT THEY ARE GETTING THE PARTS VERY SLOWLY AND IF I WANT ON THEIR REPAIR LIST, I'D BE #57 FOR REPAIRS. I SPOKE WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD MY ISSUE HAD BEEN NOTED AND THAT I SHOULD CHECK WITH THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT ISN'T GETTING ANY PARTS. SOUNDS LIKE A RUNAROUND. ANYWAY, FORD HAS ISSUED TWO SERVICE BULLETINS TSB 15-0051 AND THEN 1TSB 16-0155. THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT IT. WHEN YOU LIVE IN A FREEZING CLIMATE AND YOU CAN'T OPEN OR WORSE, CLOSE YOUR DOOR, IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE.

THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WAS WHEN I WENT TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. I DID A HARD ACCELERATION TO PASS AND MY 2015 F150 3.5 ECOBOOST ENGINE STALLED IN THE PASSING LANE ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY. I WAS DOING 45 MPH. I IMMEDIATELY GOT BACK INTO MY LANE BEHIND THE VEHICLE I WAS PASSING. AFTER THAT INCIDENT I HAVE OCCASIONALLY ACCELERATED HARD TO SEE IF THE ENGINE WOULD STALL. SOMETIMES IT WOULD STALL AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD NOT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE PACK BUT IT STILL STALLS. THEY ARE AT A LOSS ON WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ERRATIC ACCELERATION PROBLEM. THEY SAY THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY SERVICE BULLETINS FROM FORD RELATING TO THIS. THIS HAPPENED NOT LONG AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 2000 MILES ON IT. I NOW HAVE 18000 MILES ON IT AND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THE DEALER AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO SEE IF FORD WILL OFFER A SOLUTION BUT SO FAR THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING.

DRIVERS DOOR LATCH WILL NOT KEEP DOOR SHUT. SOME COLD MORNINGS THE TRUCK CAN NOT BE USED. THE DOOR WILL OPEN, BUT NOT LATCH SHUT. SEEMS TO HAVE TO DO WITH THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE, IT WILL FLOP AROUND AND NOT RESET. AT SOME TIME AS IT HEATS UP IT WILL START WORKING AGAIN. THIS MORNING IT WAS 8DEG, DROVE MY CHILD TO BUS STOP. GOT OUT OF TRUCK AND DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH SHUT. HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH DOME LIGHT ON AND HOLDING DOOR SHUT... NOT GOOD FOR A 2 YEAR OLD CAR. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS WINTER THIS HAS HAPPENED.

ON FEBRUARY 17, 2016 I EXPERIENCED TOTAL BRAKE LOSS OF MY 2015 F-150. THE BRAKE LOSS OCCURRED AT LOW SPEED, LESS THAN 10MPH. I HAD TO FRANTICALLY PUMP THE BRAKES TO STOP ON A FLAT LEVEL SURFACE. WHERE THE BRAKE LOSS OCCURRED THERE WAS NO SNOW OR ICE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES. NO WARNING LIGHTS TURNED ON. THE VEHICLE BRAKES FUNCTIONED NORMALLY UNTIL TODAY WHEN I AGAIN EXPERIENCED TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKES! AGAIN IT WAS AT LOW SPEED, THIS TIME ON A STEEP GRADE WITH MINOR SNOW ACCUMULATION. THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES DID NOT ACTIVATE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN I REACHED A LEVEL SURFACE. AS OF TODAY THE BRAKE PEDAL CONTINUES TO GO TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE BRAKES SEEM TO FUNCTION OK AT HIGH SPEEDS, HOWEVER WHILE PARKED AT A STOP LIGHT THE PEDAL CONTINUES TO DEPRESS. I CALLED FORD BECAUSE I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING., HOWEVER THEY DO NOT SEEM TO TAKE THE COMPLAINT SERIOUSLY. I ASKED THEM TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT'S UNDER WARRANTY AND I ALSO HAVE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD BY FORD THAT THEY COULD NOT TOW IT UNTIL NEXT WEDNESDAY. I FINALLY ENDED UP DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE OVER 45 MILES TO A DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE WILL BE LOOKED AT TOMORROW, HOPEFULLY!!! THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT HAS HAPPENED TWICE, AND I FEEL FORD IS SWEEPING IT UNDER THE RUG. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE NEEDLESSLY DIES. THANK YOU

IN REFERENCE TO TSB 15-0052, CURRENTLY REFERENCED UNDER TSB 16-0155 DOOR LOCKS BECOME INOPERABLE IN FREEZING CONDITIONS. I HAVE CURRENTLY BEEN WAITING TWO WEEKS FOR BACK ORDERED PARTS. WITH MULTIPLE TSB'S THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR FORD AND BACK ORDERED PARTS OVER A YEAR LATER SHOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE. FORD'S NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS OF LITTLE HELP, CREATING CASE # 115-897-76 AND DIRECTING ME TO TALK WITH THE MANAGER OF MY DEALERSHIP. MY INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCE INCLUDES A DRIVERS DOOR THAT WILL ONLY OPEN FROM INSIDE AND DOES NOT SHUT UNLESS I MANUALLY LOCK THE DOOR. ELECTRONIC LOCKS COMPLETELY FAIL. TO PUSH THE LOCK ON TOP OF THE DOOR (IN ORDER TO SECURELY CLOSE) HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT, ALMOST TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS SEIZED. DRIVING IS A SAFETY CONCERN NOT KNOWING THE STATE OF HOW FUNCTIONAL AND RELIABLE THE DOOR LATCH AND HARDWARE IS. DOOR, KNOWINGLY AJAR, HAS PREVIOUSLY OPENED WHILE DRIVING BEFORE I FOUND PUSHING THE LOCK IN ALLOWS IT TO CLOSE. SURE HOPE OTHERS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE KNOW THIS TRICK. *TR

I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE OF A TWO LANE LEFT TURN INTERSECTION. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL FOR A NORMAL LEFT HAND TURN; HOWEVER THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO MOVE IN STRAIGHT LINE AND DID NOT TURN WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. I THEN TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL FOR A HARD LEFT AND THE TRUCK STILL CONTINUED STRAIGHT, THEN AFTER A DELAY I FELT THE VEHICLE WHEELS TURN LEFT; LUCKILY WITHIN ENOUGH TIME TO PREVENT THE TRUCK FROM STRIKING THE CAR THAT WAS IN THE RIGHT, LEFT TURN LANE WHO WAS MAKING THE TURN AS WELL. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS SITUATION HAS OCCURRED WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE VEHICLE WHEELS WERE NOT IN SYNC AND HAD ENDANGERED THE SAFETY OF THE PASSENGERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 70 MPH AND COMING TO A STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD PUSH ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD. UPON PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKING ACTION WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WAS REPAIRED. AFTER ABOUT 800 MILES THE FAILURE RE-OCCURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,500.

DOOR LATCHES ARE FROZEN AND INOPERABLE IN TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING. DOORS WILL NOT OPEN, AND IF THEY DO OPEN, THEY WILL NOT CLOSE. A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. TRUCK WAS PARKED IN MY LOT OVER NIGHT. EVENTS OCCURRED DURING THE MONTHS OF 12/2016 AND 01/2017. I LIVE IN NORTH CAROLINA, A PLACE WHERE IT DOES NOT GET BELOW FREEZING OFTEN.

I WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON THE ROADWAY WHEN I HEARD A BANG, LIKE A GUN SHOT. I PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED MY REAR WINDSHIELD HAD SHATTERED. IT HAD BEEN RATHER THE COLD THE NIGHT BEFORE, I DID HAVE THE FRONT DEFROST ON BUT NOT THE REAR DEFROST. I OBSERVED NOTHING SUSPICIOUS OR UNUSAL ABOUT THE BACK OF THE TRUCK AREA OR TOP OF CAB. FURTHER, THERE WERE NO OBVIOUS HOLES OR OTHER MARKINGS.

AS SOON AS I TOOK DELIVERY OF MY NEW 2015 FORD F-150, I NOTICED THE STEERING WANTED TO PULL TO THE LEFT. THIS OCCURRED IN ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND REQUIRED KEEPING SOME "RIGHT" PRESSURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAKE THE TRUCK GO STRAIGHT. ROAD CONDITIONS, WEATHER CONDITIONS AND VEHICLE SPEEDS ARE NOT A FACTOR. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON THREE OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST YEAR FOR THIS AND A COUPLE OF OTHER ISSUES. ON ONLY ONE OCCASION DID THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ACTUALLY WRITE UP THE STEERING ISSUE ON THE WORK ORDER BECAUSE THEY TALKED ME INTO PURCHASING SOME SORT OF "KIT" THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I BROUGHT UP THE IDEA THAT IF A "KIT" WAS REQUIRED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, WHY WOULD IT NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY, BUT THEY DISMISSED THAT IDEA AND I WENT AHEAD A PAID FOR THE "KIT" ($300) AND A REALIGNMENT OF THE FRONT END ($80). I FIGURED IF THIS WOULD SOLVE THE STEERING ISSUE, WHICH I FELT WAS A SAFETY PROBLEM, I WOULD GO AHEAD AND PAY THE MONEY AND HAVE DONE WITH IT. END RESULT: THE TRUCK NOW STILL PULLS TO THE LEFT ABOUT 40% OF THE TIME, PULLS TO THE RIGHT ABOUT 10% OF THE TIME AND ACTUALLY GOES FAIRLY STRAIGHT THE REST OF THE TIME. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH TURNING CORNERS OR EVEN CHANGING LANES CAN CAUSE THE STEERING TO CHANGE FROM PULLING TO THE LEFT TO PULLING TO THE RIGHT OR MAYBE EVEN GOING STRAIGHT. I WANT TO ADD THAT THE "PULLING" IS NOT SEVERE (MORE LIKE DRIFTING), BUT IT IS BOTHERSOME AND CAUSES ME TO HAVE A GOOD DEAL OF CONCERN. I H

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS INCREDIBLY DIM. THE FOG LIGHTS APPEAR TO PUT OUT MORE LIGHT THAN THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. I SERIOUSLY THOUGHT THE HEADLIGHTS WEREN'T ON THEY WERE SO DIM. AT 60 MPH, THE DRIVER IS OVER DRIVING THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT COMING FROM THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE F150MAT NIGHT! I CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER TO ASK IF THERE ARE ANY BRIGHTER BULBS AND THEY SAID NO AND TO LOOK AT AFTER MARKET PRODUCTS. HOWEVER, AFTER SPENDING OVER $50,000 FOR A NEW TRUCK, FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING THE HEADLIGHTS TO WORK PROPERLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSIDE DOOR LOCKS WOULD FREEZE AT VERY LOW TEMPERATURES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE PARTS TO REMEDY THE ISSUE WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

REAR WINDOW SHATTER AFTER USING REAR DEFROSTER. CAR PARKED. USED REMOTE START. WINDOW SHATTERED UPON DOOR CLOSE AFTER ENTERING CAR.

DOOR LOCKS/LATCHES. I LIVE IN CANTON, MICHIGAN AND WHENEVER THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW 32 DEGREES THE LOCKS FAIL TO OPEN AND/OR CLOSE. I AM UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INTERIOR AND/OR EXTERIOR WHEN THIS OCCURS. THE DOORS LOCKS ALSO FAIL TO CATCH WHEN TRYING TO CLOSE THE DOORS AND SECURING THEM. THIS IS A EXTREMELY UNSAFE ISSUE, ESPECIALLY IF THE CAR IS INVOLVED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE CRASH AND THE OCCUPANTS IN THE VEHICLE NEED TO GET OUT. FORD IS TELLING ME THAT THE INTERIOR DOOR HOOD DOES NOT PROPERLY KEEP WATER OFF THE INTERIOR WORKING PARTS OF THE DOOR CAUSING THE PARTS TO FREEZE AND BECOME INOPERABLE. I AM BEING TOLD REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE UNTIL LATE MARCH 2017. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND A RECALL ORDERED. THIS IS CONTINUING TO HAPPEN TO ME THIS WINTER AND ALSO DID DURING THE WINTER MONTHS OF 2015 INTO 2016. FORD INITIALLY WAS ADDING LUBE TO ALL THE WORKING PARTS IN A ATTEMPT TO KEEP THEM FROM SEIZING UP BUT THAT IS NOT WORKING BECAUSE EVERY TIME THEY LUBE THE PARTS UP WITHIN A DAY OR TWO THE DOOR IS MALFUNCTIONING ONCE AGAIN.

DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AND REAR DOORS EITHER DO NOT OPEN WHEN COLD OR DO NOT LATCH WHEN COLD. CANNOT OPEN DOORS FROM THE OUTSIDE WITH PHYSICAL KEY, KEY FOB OR REMOTE UNLOCKING.

BRAKE PEDAL BLED OFF AND MESSAGE CENTAR ALERTED OF BRAKE MALFUNCTION. DEALER TO REPLACE MASTER CYL. AND BOOSTER. I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED.

SUPERCREWS REAR DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK ELECTRONICALLY. ALSO DRIVER DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK ELECTRONICALLY(BUTTON OR KEY FOB) OR MANUALLY EITHER INSIDE OR WITH KEY OUTSIDE. ALSO ONCE OPEN, THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH WHEN CLOSED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW FREEZING. HAS ONLY HAPPENED STATIONARY AND ON DIFFERENT DAYS. LEAVING THE TRUCK RUN WITH HEAT ON HIGH ALLOWS THE DOORS TO LOCK/LATCH. THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE WITH THE KEY LOCK OR DOOR SEALS FREEZING AS THERE WAS NO ADVERSE WEATHER OTHER THAN THE COLD TEMPERATURE. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT IT HAPPENS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS 22F OR COLDER AND THAT THEY HAVE MORE COMPLAINTS BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR A RECALL. INFORMED THAT FORD IS WORKING ON A FIX AND THE PARTS ARE CURRENTLY BACKORDER. SAW ONLINE THAT IT LOOKS LIKE THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THIS STYLE TRUCK FOR OVER A YEAR. *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPER SPRAYER NOT WORKING IN COLDER WEATHER. OCCURRED WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE UNDER 20 DEGREES ALSO ANOTHER OWNER EXPERIENCE THIS THAT SAME DAY. ITS HAPPENED TWICE NOW IN THE PAST WEEK. VISIBILITY WITH WINDOWS ICING/SMEARED DIRT IS TROUBLESOME WHETHER ON HIGHWAY OR DRIVING IN GENERAL. HIGHLY CONCERNED I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SAFELY SEE TO PULL OVER. LOVE THE TRUCK BUT THIS IS CONCERNING. *TR

AT FREEZING TEMPERATURES, THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT ALWAYS OPEN. IF IT DOES, IT MAY NOT LATCH WHEN CLOSING AND I HAVE TO DRIVE HOME HOLDING THE DOOR CLOSED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER LAST WINTER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THERE IS A TSB FROM FORD IDENTIFIED AS 15-0052. THIS IS A NUISANCE AT MINIMUM AND DANGEROUS IF THE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE. MY MODEL IS A SUPER CAB.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE AND THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A DOWNSHIFT OCCURRED DURING THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS PERSISTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,000.

WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS LESS THAN 20 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE. THEY ARE FROZEN IN THE OPEN POSITION. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES WITH HEAT ON HIGH (THIS USUALLY REQUIRES ONE HAND HOLDING DOOR CLOSED) THE DOORS WILL EVENTUALLY LATCH. SOMETIMES THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK, EVEN BY USING THE KEY. WHEN THIS OCCURS, I HAVE TO GET IN THE TRUCK THROUGH THE PASSENGER DOOR. WHEN I DO THIS, THE PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT LATCH. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE TO STRAP THE DOOR CLOSED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND TROUBLESOME AS THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE. *TR

SUNROOF SHATTERED WHILE PARKED IN OUR GARAGE. THE GLASS IS BOWED UPWARD INDICATING THE SUNROOF WAS NOT HIT BY ANYTHING FROM THE OUTSIDE. TEMPERATE OUTSIDE WAS IN THE TEENS.

IN COLD WEATHER, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCHES ARE INOPERABLE. THE DOOR LATCH FAILS TO ENGAGE, ALLOWING THE DOOR TO OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. DURING RIGHT HAND TURNS, BUMPS IN THE ROAD, OR WHEN LIGHT PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE DRIVER SIDE DOORS, THE VEHICLE RETURNS A "DOOR AJAR" WARNING AS THE DOOR OPEN ITSELF. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS IN THE "SUPERCAB" CONFIGURATION, AS THE REAR DOOR ALSO CONTAINS THE SEAT BELT FOR THE DRIVER. IF THE DOOR WERE TO OPEN FULLY, THIS COULD DISRUPT THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, OR POTENTIALLY THROW THEM OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS SYSTEM FAILURE CAN ALSO BE EASILY REPLICATED WHEN STATIONARY. OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND LIGHTLY PULL ON THE REAR DOOR. YOU CAN SEE THE LATCH FAILING TO ENGAGE AS THE DOOR MOVE FREELY AT THE BOTTOM INSTEAD OF STAYING LOCKED SHUT. WHEN IN MOTION, THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS, FROM PARKING LOT MANEUVERS TO HIGHWAY TRAVEL. THE FIRST INSTANCE OF THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 17*F. THE DOOR JAMBS AND LATCH ASSEMBLIES WERE CONFIRMED TO BE FREE OF ICE, SNOW, OR ANY OTHER DEBRIS.

ALL FOUR DOORS WILL NOT OPEN WHEN UNLOCKING WITH KEY, KEY FOB, OR DOOR KEYPAD FROM EITHER SIDE OF THE DOOR; INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS IN THE EVENT THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN A CRASH AND A PASSENGER IS UNABLE TO EXIT DUE TO THE DOOR NOT OPENING OR EMERGENCY CREWS CANNOT ACCESS THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ATTEMPTED TO BE REPAIRED TWICE BY THE DEALER AND BOTH TIMES THE DEALER HAS STATED THAT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED. THE TSB 16-0155 ISSUED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS NOT WORKING AND THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE VEHICLE ISSUES.

FREEZING WINDSHIELD WASHERS.

THE POWER LOCKS ON MY TRUCK TO NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. SOME TIMES THEY WILL NOT UNLOCK AND SOME TIMES THAT WILL NOT LOCK. THIS MORNING I UNLOCK THE DRIVERS DOOR AND GO TO THE STORE, I GET TO THE STORE AND UNLOCK THE REAR DRIVERS DOOR. I COME BACK OUT OF THE STORE AND ONLY 1 DOOR OF THE 4 DOORS WOULD UNLOCK, (DRIVERS DOOR) I REACH ACROSS AND OPEN THE PASSENGER DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, PUT THE GROCERIES AND THEN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK.

DURING BELOW FREEZING CONDITIONS DRIVERS DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE, WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK. FORD HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN, TSB 15-0052, BUT THE FORD SERVICE DEPT. SAYS IT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NOT REALLY SAFE DRIVING THE TRUCK WITH ONE ARM HOLDING THE DOOR CLOSED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS OF THE YEAR. FORD SERVICE CLAIMS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS FORD ISSUES A RECALL ACTION WITH A REAL FIX. *TR

DOORS WILL FREEZE SHUT MAKING ENTRY/EXIT OF THE VEHICLE IMPOSSIBLE IN TEMP'S UNDER 20* THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES THIS WINTER ALONE. THE COLD TEMP IS WHAT'S AFFECTING IT, SINCE MOISTURE WAS NOT PRESENT 3/4 TIMES.

WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID FROZEN IN LINES. WHEN PUSHING THE WASHER FLUID BUTTON WHILE DRIVING, THE WIPERS WOULD WIPE BUT NOT WASHER FLUID WOULD COME OUT CAUSING A DANGEROUS VISIBILITY SITUATION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THAT DAY WHILE THEY WERE STILL FROZEN AND THE DEALER SAID I DID HAVE THE CORRECT WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID IN THEM, BUT THEY WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEM FREEZING, SO THEY SAID THEY DUMPED MORE ALCOHOL IN THE TANK AND SAID TO LET IT THAW OVERNIGHT IN THE GARAGE (THANKFULLY I HAVE A HEATED GARAGE, BUT MANY DON'T SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT THEIR SOLUTION WOULD BE). I ASKED THE DEALER TO PERFORM THE TSB CURRENTLY OUT THAT COVERS THIS VERY SITUATION. THEY SAID THEY PUT MORE ALCOHOL IN THE TANK AND IT SHOULD BE FINE. THE DEALER WAS DAHL FORD LOCATED IN ONALASKA, WI. THIS EVEN BEING A PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH IS A ALARMING, AND A DEALER NOT WILLING TO FIX SUCH AN IMPORTANT PROBLEM WHEN IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE IS JUST AS MUCH OF AN ALARM! SECONDLY, MY DOOR LATCHES ALSO FREEZE ON THE TRUCK WHEN TEMPS ARE BELOW FREEZING. ALL 4 DOORS OF MY CREW CAB ARE AFFECTED. DEPENDING ON THE DAY, IT VARIES WHICH ONE FREEZES. I HAVE STOPPED USING CAR WASHES AND TRYING TO KEEP MY TRUCK AS DRY AS POSSIBLE TO NO AVAIL. ONCE THESE LATCHES FREEZE, THE DOOR WILL EITHER NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK (DEPENDING ON THE LAST POSITION OF THE SWITCH), OR WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR AND SHUT IT, THE DOOR MECHANISM WILL NOT GRAB AND HOLD THE DOOR SHUT. AFTER REPEATED SLAMMINGS I CAN USUALLY GET IT TO LOCK, BUT THIS IS ABSOLUTELY

MY 2015 FORD F150 TRUCK HAS INOPERATIVE FROZEN DOOR LATCHES.I HAVE WAITED 6-8 WEEKS FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN. IVE HAD MANY OCCASIONS IVE HAD TO BUNGEE MY DOOR SOMEWHAT CLOSED TO GET MY FAMILY HOME.I CANNOT GET INTO MY TRUCK AND WHEN I DO I CANNOT GET THE DOOR TO SHUT BECAUSE OF THE INOPERATIVE DOOR LATCHES. I HAD IT AT A FORD DEALERSHIP FOR A FROZEN DOOR LATCH, INOPERATIVE TSB (16-0155) ON 1/6/17. ON 1/7/17 I WENT OUT TO MY TRUCK AND I CANNOT GET INTO IT EVEN WITH THE TSB WORK DONE THE DAY BEFORE. THEY REPLACED SOME UPDATED PARTS AND CLEANED AND LUBED THE LATCHES.I ALSO HAVE WINDOWS THAT FREEZE SHUT WITH NO SNOW OR ICE HOLDING THEM SHUT. THESE ARE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES ! I HAVE A FEW VIDEO RECORDINGS OF ME TRYING TO GET INTO MY TRUCK WITH NO LUCK AND HAVE STOPPED TO MY DEALER WITH A BUGEE HOLDING THE PASSENGER DOOR FROM OPENING WITH MY 2 YR OLD SON IN THE BACK. IVE BEEN DEALING WITH THESE PROBLEMS SINCE NEW.

2015 F-150 LARIAT SUPERCREW CAB DOOR LOCKS AND TAIL GATE BECOME FROZEN IN COLD WEATHER. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE OFTEN LATELY WITH COLD TEMPS IN MICHIGAN WINTER. GOT UP THIS MORNING WITH MY KIDS TO TAKE THEM TO SCHOOL, GOT THEM IN THE CAR AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT STAY CLOSED (REAR PASSENGER). CHECKED THE LATCHES, THE MECHANICS SEEMED TO BE WORKING (HANDLE, ETC.) BUT I COULD NOT GET THE DOOR TO STAY CLOSED. HAPPENS ON THE DOORS (ALL 4) AND THE TAILGATE (TAILGATE WOULD NOT OPEN).

DRIVER DOOR FREQUENTLY WILL NOT LATCH SHUT IN COLD WEATHER. THIS MEANS SOMETIMES BEING STRANDED OR HAVING TO DRIVE WITH THE DRIVER'S DOOR SWINGING OPEN. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. *TR

BRAKE FAILURE, NO BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS. PEDDLE PROVIDED SOME BRAKING INITIALLY, THEN PEDDLE FADES TO FLOOR AND BRAKING DIMINISHES TO NOT ABLE TO HOLD VEHICLE TO COMPLETE STOP, EVEN AT IDLE SPEED. PUMPING PEDDLE WILL RESTORE SAME SEQUENCE. I WOULD THINK THIS WOULD BE EXTREMELY SCARY TO NOVICE DRIVERS AND CAUSE INJURY, DEATH OR COLLISION WITH HIGH PROBABILITY. ESPECIALLY WITH ABSENCE OF WARNING LAMPS INDICATION. FIRST TIME PROBLEM NOTED ON NEAR ZERO DEGREE F. MORNING SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING EARLY AM ON HIGHWAY. SUSPECT PROBLEM TO BE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER. BRAKE FLUID LEVEL HAS NOT CHANGED, SEARCH FOR EXTERNAL LEAKS IN BRAKING SYSTEMS REVEALED NO VISIBLE LEAKS. VEHICLE CURRENTLY IN TO SERVICE THIS AT FRANCIOS FORD BELLVILLE WI. *TR

BOTTOM LATCH IN REAR DOOR, PASSENGER SIDE (SUPERCAB) WOULD NOT LATCH SHUT DURING A COLD SPELL, CAUSING A WARNING NOTIFICATION WHILE DRIVING THAT THE REAR DOOR WAS OPEN. I PULLED ON BOTTOM OF DOOR AND VERIFIED THAT THE DOOR WAS NOT LATCHED AND IT WOULD MOVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS AND THERE IS A FORD SSM THAT ONLY DEALERS CAN SEE ON THIS ISSUE (#46260). THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL AS I HAD MY DAUGHTER NEXT TO THIS DOOR. MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SOMEONE FALLS OUT A DOOR. WHAT HAPPENS IS MOISTURE IS RUNNING DOWN THE DOORS AND ONTO THE LATCHES. IT THEN FREEZES ON THE LATCH, CAUSING THEM NOT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THIS ESPECIALLY HAPPENS AFTER GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH ON A VERY COLD DAY OR AFTER A RAIN EVENT AND THEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPS. ALSO, DURING THE SAME TIME MY FRONT DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR HANDLE WOULD FULLY MOVE. THE LATCHES INTERNAL TO THE DOOR WERE FROZEN DUE TO MOISTURE. FORD IS ALSO AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND ISSUED TSB 16-0155 TO INSTALL RAIN GUARDS ABOVE THE LATCHES. *TR

I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN MY 2015 FORD F150 POWER DOORS USING THE KEY FOB, DOOR CODE BUTTONS, OR GRIP HANDLE SENSORS. THIS WAS MOST CONCERNING BECAUSE THE ISSUE STARTED WITH THE REAR DOORS; THIS CAUSED MY CHILD TO BECOME STUCK IN THE VEHICLE. THE TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW FREEZING AT THIS TIME. IF I HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO RELEASE THE DOOR THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY ISSUES TO MY YOUNG CHILDREN. THIS ISSUE HAS SINCE PROGRESSED TO ALL DOORS BECOMING DYSFUNCTIONAL. MY VEHICLE IS NOW AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP. MY VEHICLE WAS BOTH STATIONARY AND IN MOTION AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT ON CITY STREETS AND FREEWAY. IF I HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND QUICKLY NEEDED TO EXTRACT MY CHILDREN FROM THE VEHICLE THE ISSUE OF THE DOORS NOT FUNCTIONING AND FREEZING COULD HAVE PUT MY AND MY CHILDREN'S WELL FARE AT EXTREME RISK.

"CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM" LIGHTS KEEPS COMING ON FOR NO REASON WHEN GOING 40MPH OR MORE.ONLY ONE TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCE SOME BRAKE LOSS IN PEDAL PRESSURE IT TOOK LONGER TO BRAKE. ESPECIALLY ON FREEWAY. BRAKE FLUID KEEPS GOING LOW MORE THEN MORE THEN NORMAL. I'VE CHECK BRAKES EACH ONE AND HAVE FOUND NOTING. BRAKE PADS ARE GOOD AND CLEAN BRAKES AND ROTOR AND STILL SAME PROBLEM. BRAKES KEEPS MAKING NOISE WHEN BRAKING. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME I GET ON FREEWAY. "CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM" . IT HAPPENED SECOND DAY OUT THE DEALER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP AT 5 MPH, THE BRAKES SEEMED TO DRAG ON THREE OCCASIONS. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKES HAD A SOFT PEDAL, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PERIODICALLY DETECTS A TRUCK IN THE RIGHT AS BEING IN FRONT OF ME. IT ACTIVATES THE BRAKES TO AVOID A ASSUMED COLLISION EVEN THOUGH THE LANE IS CLEAR AHEAD. THE BRAKES HAVE, ON OCCASION, BE APPLIED AUTOMATICALLY IN A VERY STRONG MANNER. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS CONDITION CAN LEAD TO SOMEONE REAR ENDING MY TRUCK. THE DEALER COULD NOT CONFIRM ANY ISSUES, HOWEVER IT HAS HAPPENED OWN OCCASION SINCE NEW.

THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WAS UPDATED WHEN THE RECALL WAS ISSUED BUT STILL EXHIBITS THE PROBLEM OF SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES WHEN PASSING A SEMI. THE PROBLEM IS ACTUALLY GETTING WORSE, AND HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY. IT NOW HAPPENS WHEN GOING UNDER A BRIDGE. I HAVE HAD IT TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS AND CONTACTED FORD AND THEY ALL TELL ME THAT THERE ARE NO COMPUTER ERROR CODES THEREFORE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. THEY ALSO TELL ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL BECAUSE I ALREADY HAD THE RECALL SERVICE PERFORMED. THIS TRUCK IS NOT SAFE, IT WILL KILL ME OR WHOEVER IS UNLUCKY ENOUGH TO BE FOLLOWING ME. FORD DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALREADY PERFORMED THE RECALL SERVICE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR. THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT AN ABNORMAL ODOR OF BRAKE FLUID EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 43,000. ..UPDATED 02/02/17 *BF UPDATED 7/6/18*JB *TR

BRAKES ARE RUBBING AND DEALER HAS REGROUND FRONT DISC BRAKES TWICE WITHOUT FIXING PROBLEM. SUSPECT THAT BRAKE CALIPERS ARE NOT COMPLETELY DISENGAGING AFTER BRAKES ARE APPLIED. BRAKE PEDAL WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AFTER APPLYING BRAKES.
