2015 Ford F-150 complaints

AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OVER NIGHT (LESS THAN 10 HOURS) I RECEIVED A BRAKE FLUID LOW WARNING WHEN STARTING. I FILLED BRAKE FLUID AND WHEN I BEGAN TO DRIVE THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR WITH VERY LITTLE BRAKING ABILITY. I CHECKED THE FLUID AGAIN AND IT WAS BACK TO EMPTY. ADDED MORE FLUID IT DRAINED ALSO. NOW I CAN SLIGHTLY SMELL BRAKE FLUID IN THE CAB. THE VEHICLE IS UNDRIVABLE. VERY SCARY!

MY ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM HAS BEEN UPDATED ACCORDING TO THE RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED BUT I STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES WHEN PASSING A SEMI-TRUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED OR PARKED, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LEAK COOLANT WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 63,215.

ON FRIDAY 10/28 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 55 MILES/HOUR AT APPROXIMATELY 6:30PM WITH VEHICLES AHEAD OF AND BEHIND MY TRUCK, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO GIVE A NUMBER OF CHECK ENGINE ALERTS, AT WHICH TIME THE ENGINE RPMS DROPPED TO VERY LOW LEVELS AND BEGAN TO STALL AND THE ACCELERATOR NO LONGER RESPONDED. HAD TRUCK TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP WITHIN THE HOUR. I WAS VERY LUCKY IN THIS SITUATION, FOR HAD I BEEN IN A CONSTRUCTION AREA OR ON A BRIDGE, THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. THIS SAME SITUATION OCCURRED ON THE EVENING OF 10/2 WHILE DRIVING 40MPH DOWN A STATE ROAD NEAR MY HOME AND ACCORDING TO THE DEALER WHO ATTENDED TO THE ISSUE, THE BRAKE MODULE HAD FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE SYMPTOMS TO ARISE. IN THAT INSTANCE, THE ACCELERATE FAILED TO RESPOND AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STALL, WHICH IT DID WHEN I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THEY REPLACED THE MODULE A FEW DAYS LATER. IN ADDITION, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR VIBRATES AND DOES NOT LATCH PROPERLY. TWO DEALERS HAVE FAILED TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE TO DATE AND I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT HAS LARGELY BEEN DISMISSED BY THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS AND DEALERSHIPS INVOLVED. DESPITE NUMEROUS DOCUMENTED ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY HAVE IGNORED THIS CONCERN, HAVE FAILED TO RESPOND TO ME IN A TIMELY MANNER, AND DECLINED A BUYBACK REQUEST. I AM SUBMITTING LEMON LAW DOCUMENTATION FOR THE VEHICLE DURING THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 31. I HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON RENTAL VEHICLES DURING

BRAKE PEDAL FALLS ON HEAVY BRAKING. ALSO FALLS WHEN HOLDING FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR SHORT STOPS.

BRAKE PEDAL FALLS ON HEAVY BRAKING. ALSO FALLS WHEN HOLDING FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR SHORT STOPS.

BRAKES FADE, SOMETIMES TO FLOOR ON 2015 FORD F150 WITH 3.5 ENGINE. NO WARNING LIGHT OR CHIME ALET'S THE DRIVER. 2015 MODELS USUALLY HAVE A WARNING INDICATION IF THIS HAPPENED AND 2016 MODELS DO NOT. BUILD DATE IS OCT. 2015. THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES! THESE 3.5 MODELS MUST BE INVESTIGATED AND REPAIRED!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, WITH NO CRUISE CONTROL ON, AND SUDDENLY MY SENSORS GO OFF AS IF I WAS ABOUT TO HIT SOMETHING. THEN AFTER A SECOND (PROBABLY WAS ONLY A SPLIT-SECOND, BUT IT FELT LIKE FOREVER), IT WENT AWAY. IF ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD HAVE BEEN ENABLED, THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE BRAKES TO AUTOMATICALLY PRESS (I KNOW BECAUSE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE). THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE (SENSORS THINKING THEY ARE GOING TO HIT SOMETHING, WHEN IT SHOULD BE NOTHING). I WISH I HAD A VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING, BUT IT ONLY HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES FOR AT MOST 3 SECONDS IN THE THE 1.5 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE.

MY FIANCE AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, WITH NO CRUISE CONTROL ON, AND SUDDENLY MY SENSORS GO OFF AS IF I WAS ABOUT TO HIT SOMETHING. THEN AFTER A SECOND (PROBABLY WAS ONLY A SPLIT-SECOND, BUT IT FELT LIKE FOREVER), IT WENT AWAY. IF ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD HAVE BEEN ENABLED, THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE BRAKES TO AUTOMATICALLY PRESS (I KNOW BECAUSE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE). I WAS PASSING A SEMI, IF THAT HELPS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE (SENSORS THINKING THEY ARE GOING TO HIT SOMETHING, WHEN IT SHOULD BE NOTHING). I WISH I HAD A VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING, BUT IT ONLY HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES FOR AT MOST 3 SECONDS IN THE THE 1.5 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE.

ELECTRIC THROTTLE BODY REPAIR. 16B32 IS THE CODE. MY TRUCK SHUT OFF ON ME ON THE HIGHWAY ALMOST HURTING OR KILLING ME. THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE I BOUGHT 8 MONTHS AGO 8000 MILES.

I NOTICED THE FRONT PASSENGER BRAKE OVERHEATING. THE PLACE I BOUGHT IT FROM AGREE TO REPLACE PADS AND ROTORS. THAT DIDN'T FIX IT, TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY REPLACED CALIPER, BUT THAT DIDN'T FIX IT.NOW ITS AT FORD AGAIN! FRONT PASSENGER BRAKE OVERHEATING EVEN MORE THAN BEFORE! I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT WITH MY FAMILY IN IT FOR FEAR OF POTENTIAL BRAKE FAILURE/FIRE! TRUCK IS AT MULLINAX FORD ON NORTHLAKE BLVD IN PALM BEACH GARDENS FLORIDA.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ON HIGHWAY AND GOING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN PASSING ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE WILL GO FROM 70 MPH AND DROP TO AROUND 40 MPH WITH OUT NO INDICATION IT'S GOING TO DO THIS. NOW THIS VEHICLE WILL DO THIS ANYTIME ON HIGHWAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE PASSING ANYONE.

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON NOV 12 2015. THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS VEHICLE IN MAY 2015 CONCERNING UPPER INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT RIVETS NOT STAKED PROPERLY. THE DEALER WAS GIVEN NOTICE BY FORD IN MAY 2015 THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER RECALL AND THE VEHICLE WAS ON THEIR LOT UNTIL NOV 12 2015. THE DEALER DID NOT INSPECT OR REPAIR THE PROBLEM BEFORE SELLING THE VEHICLE TO ME, NEVER MENTIONED A RECALL. I DID NOT RECEIVE THE INITIAL RECALL NOTICE SENT IN MAY OF 2015 BECAUSE I DID NOT OWN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. I RECEIVED A REMINDER NOTICE FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY SEPT 2016 THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. IS IT NOT A FEDERAL VIOLATION TO SELL A VEHICLE THAT IS UNDER A SAFETY RECALL AND NOT REPAIRED? I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE FOR 11 MONTHS. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT OCT 11 2016 FOR REPAIRS AT A DIFFERENT DEALER.

I JUST READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE BRAKE FAILURES ON THE 2015 & 2016 F-150. I HAVE A 2015 F-150 PLATINUM 4X4 WITH APPROXIMATELY 31,000 MILES AND EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR EVENT ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. AS I APPROACHED A STOP SIGNAL ON MY NORMAL ROUTE HOME, THE BRAKES FAILED WHEN I STEPPED ON THE PEDAL, IT ACTED LIKE THE ANTI-SKID BRAKE SYSTEM HAD TAKEN OVER AND WOULDN'T ALLOW THE PEDAL TO APPLY HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE CALIPERS. THIS WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED, SO I DID NOT REPORT THE EVENT TO FORD. NO DAMAGE OR INJURY OCCURRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE BRAKES ENGAGED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED ABRUPTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE CONTROLLER SEIZED THE TRAILER BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

HAD MY BOAT TRAILER (9000LBS WITH ELECTRIC/HYD BREAKS) HOOKED UP , WAS TRYING TO BACKUP MY STEEP DRIVEWAY AND THE TRUCK SLID A BIT FORWARD IN REVERSE AND I TRIED TO HIT THE BREAK PEDAL BUT NO ACTION SO HAD TO TURN QUICKLY INTO THE STREET TO AVOID AN DANGER, WAS ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK ON THE FLAT STREET AND LOW 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON. STOP THE ENGINE AND TRIED THE BREAKS AND THEY WERE WORKING FINE. DID NOT THINK MORE ABOUT IT UNTIL I SAW THIS CONCERN ON THE NEWS AND THEREFOR A BIT LATE REPORTING IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO OVERTAKE A TRAILER, THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE BRAKED UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE ON ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE DID NOT RECUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,500.

DRIVING THE FORD F150 (V6 ECOBOOST) ON A CITY STREET (35 MPH) IT HAS FAILED AT RANDOM TIMES (I'VE NOW SEEN THIS ISSUE MORE THAN 3 TIMES) USUALLY WITH 3 MAJOR FAILURES. THESE 3 FAILURES (1) ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, AND EMISSIONS 2) BRAKES & SUSPENSION 3) RESTRATINS & DRIVER ASSISTANCE) CAUSE THE TRUCK TO TRANSITION TO 'LIMP' MODE WHICH CAN ACTUALLY BE JUST AS HAZARDOUS. IF I'M TURNING ONTO A ROAD WITH A 55+ MPH SPEED LIMIT I NEED TO ACCELERATE BUT IF THIS SYSTEM FAILS, ALONG WITH THE RESTRAINTS & DRIVER ASSISTANCE, THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. THE REASON WHY IS THAT THE RESTRAINTS & DRIVER ASSISTANCE GOES OFF NOW DISABLING MY AIRBAGS, ETC. AND IF I NOW GET HIT (BECAUSE NOW I'M IN LIMP MODE GOING ABOUT 7 MPH) I HAVE LOST A GREAT DEAL OF 'BUILT-IN' PROTECTION WITHOUT THE AIRBAGS. TRANSLATE THAT TO DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND ENCOUNTERING THIS SITUATION AND YOU CAN SEE THAT LOSS OF LIFE IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. I'VE TAKEN THE TRUCK BACK TO FORD FOR THE WARRANTY WORK AND THEY SAY THEY BELIEVE IT'S AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY CONTROLLER THAT HAS GONE BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S AT LEAST 3 WEEKS BEFORE THEY CAN GET A REPLACEMENT PART. COMPOUNDING THIS ISSUE IS THAT FORD HAD ISSUED AN INTERNAL RECALL FOR V8'S BUILT AT THE SAME PLANT AS MY V6 ECOBOOST TRUCK FOR THE SAME TYPE OF ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH AND UPON SLOWING DOWN TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND DROVE SLOWLY TO THE DEALER. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER CAUSED THE BRAKE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS SENT TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR ANALYSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 9,600.

THE HEADLINER IS COMIN OFF ON UPPER THE CONNORS EXACTLY OVER THE SUN VISSORS AND ABOVE HEAD REST ON THE REARS SEATS THE PICK UP IN NOW WHITH 23560 MILES ON IT

VEHICLE BRAKES SUDDENLY WHEN ON ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, PARTICULARLY NEAR SEMIS HAULING CONTAINERS. VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR THIS PREVIOUSLY AND STILL EXHIBITS UNSAFE BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

TRUCK REAR END BOUNCES AND SHIFTS VIOLENTLY GOING OVER BUMPS AND ON ROUGH ROADS DRIVING OVER 40 MPH. WHEN DRIVING OVER SPEED BUMPS THE TRUCK FEELS AS THOUGH IT HAS BOTTOMED OUT OR THE REAR SHOCKS HAVE FULLY COMPRESSED AND GIVING NO SUPPORT. THESE SYMPTOMS HAPPEN DAILY AND MAKES DRIVING DANGEROUS ON ROUGH ROADS.

DESPITE BEING IN THE DEALERS REPAIR SHOP FOR WARRANTY WORK FOR 33 DAYS INCLUDING A FACTORY RECALL ON THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, THE UNIT CONTINUES TO MALFUNCTION. THE LATEST EVENT OCCURRED ON AUGUST 24, 2016 WHILE TRAVELING AT 77MPH WITH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED. WITHOUT WARNING OR CAUSE THE COLLISION CONTROL SYSTEM FULLY DEPLOYED TO INCLUDE HARD BRAKING, WINDSHIELD WARNING LIGHTS, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING, AND AUDIBLE WARNING. RESULT IS THAT THE VEHICLE DRAMATICALLY SLOWS VERY QUICKLY CREATING A POTENTIALLY MAJOR PROBLEM IF THERE WERE VEHICLES FOLLOWING CLOSELY BEHIND. THIS IN ADDITION TO THE SUDDEN NATURE OF THE WARNING AND VEHICLE "TAKE OVER" BY THE SYSTEM COULD CAUSE MOMENTARY DRIVER PANIC! DEALER HAS STATED A WILLINGNESS TO WORK ON THE VEHICLE AGAIN, BUT SAYS THEY CAN ONLY RE-DO WHAT THEY HAVE ALREADY DONE MULTIPLE TIMES.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN ITS DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM REPORTED "LOW BRAKE FLUID". I PULLED INTO THE CLOSEST GAS STATION AND CHECKED BRAKE FLUID LEVEL. IT WAS ALMOST TOTALLY OUT, SO I PURCHASED 2 SMALL CANS AND FILLED UP BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR. I HAD JUST HAD THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER FOR ITS SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, SO IT WAS ODD THAT BRAKE FLUID WAS LOW. NO EXTERNAL LEAKS WERE VISIBLE. I DROVE ANOTHER 5 MILES, AND THE DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM REPORTED AGAIN, "LOW BRAKE FLUID". I PULLED INTO ANOTHER GAS STATION AND RECHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR. AGAIN, IT WAS ALMOST TOTALLY EMPTY. I COULD NOT DETECT A VISIBLE BRAKE FLUID LEAK, BUT COULD SMELL BRAKE FLUID IN THE ENGINE BAY. I PARKED THE VEHICLE, AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY WERE STILL OPEN. THEY WERE ABOUT TO CLOSE. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE IN THE DEALER'S LOT, I HAD NO BRAKING CAPABILITIES. DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A DEFECTIVE MASTER CYLINDER. REPAIR WAS DONE BY DEALER BY REPLACING MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER. THERE WAS AN APPROXIMATE 30 DAY DELAY IN REPAIRING THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE IS AN EXISTING RECALL ON 2014 FORD F-150'S FOR DEFECTIVE BRAKE BOOSTERS, AND FORD WAS BACK ORDERED ON THE PARTS. I JUST PICKED UP MY VEHICLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH ILLUMINATED TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER FOUND SEAT POSITION SENSOR UNDER PASSENGER SEAT BROKEN CHANGED SENSOR NO EXPLANATION HOW SENSOR MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN BROKEN. NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY BAD FORD ENGINEERING.

WHILE USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL MODE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BOTH DAY AND NIGHT MY VEHICLES FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM HAS MISTAKENLY APPLIED THE BRAKES SUDDENLY REDUCING THE VEHICLE SPEED ABRUPTLY. NIGHT TIME INSTANCE WAS GOING UNDER A EXPRESSWAY OVERPASS CENTER LANE NO OTHER VEHICLES IN AREA. DAY TIME IN HOV LANE AND MODERATE TRAFFIC FLOW BUT NO ONE WITHIN TEN CAR LENGTHS. ONLY 1000 MILES ON VEHICLE. I HAVE DEACTIVATED THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL IN VEHICLE SETTINGS. VEHICLE JUST OUTSIDE OF PRODUCTION DATE OF RECALL. TWO PURCHASED NEW 7/28/2016. TO BE REPORTED TO DEALER.

THE ISSUES STARTED AROUND MID JULY 2016 WITH ABOUT 11-12K MILES. I WAS TURNING ONTO A SIDE ROAD WHERE DOING MAYBE 10 MPH AND THE ENGINE STALLED, IT RESTARTED WHILE IN MOTION AND I CONTINUED. THE HILL START ASSIST AND ADVANCE TRAC WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. LATER THAT WEEK IT HAPPENED REPEATEDLY. THE DEALERSHIP HERE IN TOWN (NOT WHERE I BOUGHT IT) LOOKED AT IT FOR A FEW DAYS, THEY THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE OF, "ALL THE AFTER MARKET STUFF (RADIO ETC) I HAD (PROFESSIONALLY) INSTALLED". THEY BELIEVED IT WAS THE POWER CONVERTER SO THEY REPLACED THE CONVERTER WHEN IT CAME IN (THE 110V CONVERTER) I GOT MY STEREO STUFF RECONNECTED AND KEPT DRIVING IT. THEN THE ENGINE WOULD NOT STALL, BUT THE WARNING LIGHTS WOULD FLASH ADVANCE TRAC AND HILL ASSIST. AFTER A FEW DAYS, IT BEGAN TO STALL AGAIN, ALMOST GETTING ME HIT PULLING ONTO A ROAD WITH 50MPH TRAFFIC. THE TRUCK DIED, AND WOULDN'T "RESTART" ITSELF. SO HERE I AM PARKED ON A TWO MULTILANE 50MPH ROADWAY TRYING TO START MY TRUCK WITHOUT GETTING KILLED. IT ALSO HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE PULLING OFF THIS SAME ROAD INTO A SIDE STREET WITH A BIG ASS RV COMING AT ME, I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO THE SIDE STREET AND THEN RESTART THE TRUCK. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK IN AND THEY SAID THAT IT MIGHT BE THE THROTTLE BODY. SO, I GOT MY TRUCK BACK TODAY WITH THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED. I GO TO DRIVE AWAY AND MY HEAD UNIT/ DISPLAY WILL NOT ILLUMINATE PROPERLY. I THOUGHT IT WAS DIMMED, BUT IT WASN'T. SO I DRIVE IN A CIRCLE TO BRING IT BACK AND IT ILLUMINATES LIKE IT SHO

LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON, WITH IN ONE MILE THE BRAKE PEDEL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH VERY LITTLE STOPPING POWER. BRAKE FLUID RESEVIOR WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. ADDED BRAKE FLUID AS WARNING LIGHT RECOMMENDED, DROVE 1 MILE AND BRAKE FLUID RESEVIOR WAS EMPTY AGAIN. LUCKLY I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN WITH VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC.

DURING A ACCIDENT WHERE I REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS EITHER STOPPED OR AT A VERY SLOW ROLL ON A OFF-RAMP (TRAFFIC WAS BACKED UP FROM A WRECK FURTHER UP), NEITHER MY AIRBAGS OR MY SEAT BELT RESTRAINED ME. THE RESULT BEING ME HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MY CHEST AND ABDOMEN. I HAD BRUISING ON MY LOWER ABDOMEN AND EXTENSIVE INJURIES TO MY BACK, NECK AND HIPS. THE CHIROPRACTOR HOPES TO HAVE ME BACK TO 80-90% OF "NORMAL" (HOW I WAS BEFORE THE WRECK) WITHIN 2-2 1/2 MONTHS. I ESTIMATE MY SPEED UPON IMPACT TO BE BETWEEN 50-60 MPH.

BRAKE PEDAL DROPPED TO FLOOR AND SIGNIFICANTLY LOST ABILITY TO STOP. MECHANIC SAYS NEEDS TO REPLACE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER. PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER WHICH INDICATES THERE IS A PROBLEM - PARTS DEPARTMENT SAID THERE ARE 700 ON BACKORDER AND IT WILL TAKE OVER A MONTH TO GET THEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN, THE ADVANCE TRAC CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,300.

RUNNING BOARD FAILURE ON F150 2015 LARIAT. MY 2015 LARIAT CAME WITH FACTORY INSTALLED RUNNING BOARDS WHICH WE NEED AS MY WIFE AND I ARE BOTH 68 YEARS OLD. THE RUNNING BOARDS MAKE GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE CAB SAFE AND EASY, AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT. AFTER 9 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP MY WIFE FELL WHILE GETTING INTO THE TRUCK CAUSING BRUISING AND CONTUSIONS TO HER LEGS. I LOOKED CAREFULLY AT THE RUNNING BOARDS AFTER THAT INCIDENT AND FOUND THAT THE RUBBER LIKE TREADS THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE TRACTION WHEN STEPPED ON HAD COME LOOSE AND WERE MOVING ABOUT 1/2" FROM SIDE TO SIDE ON THE CHROME METAL STEP SIDE PLATFORM. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER WHO INSPECTED IT AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE RUNNING BOARD. I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THIS SO I MONITORED IT CAREFULLY. NINE (9) MONTHS LATER I FOUND THAT NOT ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE AS COMING LOOSE AGAIN BUT SO WAS THE DRIVER SIDE. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE RUBBER/PLASTIC COMPOSITE THAT THE NON SLIP TREADS ARE MADE OF ARE SIMPLE PUSHED THROUGH HOLES IN THE RUNNING BOARD STEEL PLATE MATERIAL WITH NO PROTECTION ON THE INSERTED NECKS OF THE TREAD FROM BEING EATEN AWAY BY THE EDGES OF THE HOLES IN THE PLATE CAUSING THE NECKS OF THE TREADS TO DETERIORATE QUICKLY DUE TO CHAFING. THIS ENTIRE MATTER AND THE WAY FORD RESPONDED TO MY REQUEST TO COVER THE DEFECTIVE PARTS UNTIL THEY CAN FIND A SAFE AND RELIABLE SOLUTION LEFT ME SAD. MY WIFE SHOULD NOT BE SUBJECTED TO POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY FOR WHAT FORD'S REGIONAL MANAGER WOULD LIKE TO CLA

I WAS GOING ON A TRIP I HAVE A 1 YR OLD SISTER IN LAW I HAD TO PUT HER BABY CAR SEAT I WANTED TO PUT HER IN THE MIDDLE AWAY FROM THE SIDES AND TO MY SURPRISE THE MIDDLE SEATBELT DOES NOT WORK IT WOULD OF BEEN THE FIRST TIME USING THE SEATBELT I'VE CONTACTED DEALERSHIPS AND CONTACTED HEADQUARTERS AND THEY HAVE BEEN NO HELP TELLING ME IT COULD BE 5 TO 6 DAYS JUST TO LOOK AT IT MY THING IS WHY ISN'T A SEATBELT ISSUE BEING TAKEN SERIOUS. IN MY OPINION IT'S A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE ANY HELP WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATED.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AT ~65MPH DURING RUSH HOUR AND THE BRAKES FAILED. FIRST A WARNING LIGHT ABOUT LOW BRAKE FLUID THEN FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. I WAS LUCKY AND GOT TO THE SHOULDER AND COASTED UNTIL STOPPING. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST A MONTH (STILL DON'T HAVE THE VEHICLE BACK).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ERRONEOUSLY DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT OPERATING AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK ONE MORNING WHEN I NOTICED MY BREAK PEDAL SEEMS TO BE GOING LOWER THAN NORMAL. AFTER DRIVING A LITTLE MORE IT SEEMED TO BE OK. AS I GOT ABOUT HALF WAY ACROSS HOUSTON, I WAS COMING T A RED LIGHT AND WHEN I HIT MY BREAKS THEY WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND I WENT THROUGH A RED LIGHT. LUCKILY IT WAS SO EARLY THAT THERE WAS NOT MUCH TRAFFIC. I CALLED ROADSIDE TO ROW MY TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALER TO FIND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH TRUCKS AROUND THIS YEAR MODEL, AND THE MASTER CYLINDER IS ON RECALL UNTIL (HOPEFULLY) AUG, 22. THAT'S IS A FULL MONTH WITHOUT MY TRUCK. THERE HAS CURRENTLY BEEN NO RECALLS ON THESE MODELS, BUT IF THERE IS NOT ONE SOON, SOMEONE IS GOING T GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED WITH THIS DEFAULT. ( I ONLY HAVE 5600 MILES ON THIS TRUCK BY THE WAY).

DRIVING ON INTERRSTATE 70 AT 65 MPH, I HAD SEVERAL ALERTS BEGIN FLASHING RANGING FROM CHECK 4X4, HILL ASSIST FAILURE, 2H, PARKING BRAKE AND MANY MORE. IN ADDITION I LOST POWER STEERING, BRAKE LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TRUCK HOME. THIS HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES. I CALLED DEALER AND THEY SUGGESTED I DRIVE IT TO THEIR ESTABLISHMENT SOME 20 MILES AWAY. I DID NOT FEEL SAFE AND CONTACTED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO TOW THE TRUCK. I HAD TO BEG FOR A LOANER ONE WEEK LATER I RECEIVED A CALL STATING THE TECHNICIAN NEEDED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK TO SEE IF THE SAME ALERTS HAPPENED EVEN THOUGH THEY FOUND 12 PLUS ALERTS WHEN THEY ANALYZED THE TRUCK IN THEIR SHOP. I ALLOWED THIS TO OCCUR AS I WANTED ANSWERS. I RECEIVED A CALL TODAY STATING THEY HAD FOUND THE PROBLEM, A WIRE HAD BECAME CORRODED IN THE STEERING COLUMN CAUSING ALL THE ALERTS TO MALFUNCTION. THEY ARE REPLACING THE ENTIRE COLUMN AND MY TRUCK WILL BE COMPLETED BY TUESDAY. I HAD PURCHASED THIS TRUCK JUST 4 MONTHS PRIOR AND HAVE BEEN A LOYAL FORD CUSTOMER FOR 30+ YEARS.

THROTTLE BODY FAILURE - 2015, F150 IN MOTION, STOPPING FOR RED LIGHT. FOLLOWING RED LIGHT TRUCK HAD MINIMAL POWER, JUST ENOUGH TO LIMP TO SIDE OF ROAD. THANKFULLY NOT IN ATLANTA, GA TRAFFIC BUT DAYTON, TN TRAFFIC. TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED ENGINE AND DROVE 2 BLOCKS TO FORD DEALERSHIP "SERVICE DEPARTMENT" WHERE I PURCHASED THE NEW F150 XL 6 MONTHS EARLIER (12,000 MILES). TOLD SERVICE MANAGER WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED ALONG WITH ADVANCE TRAC WARNING LIGHT. SERVICE TECHNICIANS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM ON COMPUTER OR TEST DRIVES. EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD SEEN THE SAME PROBLEM BEFORE "FORD MOTOR COMPANY " WOULD NOT ALLOW THEM TO REPAIR IT UNLESS THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED REGIONAL SERVICE MANAGER FOR EAST TENNESSEE, I STATED TO HER THIS WAS NOT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP PROBLEM, FINANCIAL PROBLEM OR WAS IT A WARRANTY PROBLEM (12K OF 36K). THIS WAS A SAFETY PROBLEM. AGAIN SHE STATED IF THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT BY DRIVING OR COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC TEST THEY COULDN'T FIX IT. I ALSO SPOKE TO HER SUPERIOR HE APOLOGIZED BUT THEY CANNOT FIX A PROBLEM THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE. AFTER THREATENING A TO CONTACT MY LAWYER, WHICH DID NOT PHASE HER. I PICKED UP MY TRUCK AND WAS HEADING TO ANOTHER LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO TRADE IT IN, BECAUSE FORD SAID THEIR WAS NOT A PROBLEM WITH IT. WHEN IT "DUPLICATED" THE SAME PROBLEM WITHIN 15 MINUTES OF LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP. IT IS NOW BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP, AFTER A TECHNICIAN WAS SENT TO HOOK UP A COMPUTER WHILE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING ALONG SIDE

MY GIRLFRIEND AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON A SUNNY DAY AT AROUND 70 MPH. I WAS USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL. THERE WERE OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD, BUT NONE WITHIN DISTANCE TO AFFECT MY SPEED/CRUISE CONTROL (THEY WERE ALL WAY AHEAD OR BEHIND). ALL OF A SUDDEN, FOR ABOUT A HALF SECOND, MY TRUCK FLASHED THE WARNING LIGHT AND SOUND AS IF I WAS GOING TO HIT SOMETHING, AND IT AUTOMATICALLY PRESSED THE BRAKE FOR ME. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. THEN IT CAME OUT OF THE WARNING AND WE CONTINUED ON OUR WAY (WE WERE IN A BIT OF SHOCK). I OF COURSE TURNED OFF THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SO THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER MY COMPLETE CONTROL. THINKING BACK, I'M WONDERING IF THE SHADOW FROM AN OVERPASS CAUSED MY TRUCK TO THINK THERE WAS A VEHICLE CLOSE AND AN IMPENDING CRASH. EITHER WAY, IT WAS VERY UNSAFE, AND I'M HOPING IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN TO ME, OR ANYONE ELSE.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON JUNE 13, 2016 ON A LOCAL CITY ROAD AT AN INTERSECTION; WHERE A VEHICLE FAILED TO YIELD TO RIGHT OF WAY, CAUSING ME TO HIT THEM HEAD ON, ON THEIR FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS TEMPORARILY KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS, AND SUSTAINED 2 BROKEN TEETH, BURNS ON MY FACE FROM THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT (WHICH HAS LEFT SCARS), BRUISING AND SWELLING ON MY LOWER ABDOMEN, MY TORSO, MAJOR BRUISING AND SWELLING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY FACE, AND SEVERE TENSION IN MY NECK AND BACK. I WAS TRAVELING NO MORE THAT 35 MPH. I SUSTAINED THESE INJURIES BECAUSE THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO LOCK ON IMPACT TO RESTRAIN ME FROM HITTING THE AIRBAG SO HARD.

WHILE ON VACATION AND TOWING A 16' ENCLOSED TRAILER THE TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL MODULE (TBC) FAILED. WHILE DRIVING, FAILURE WAS TEMPORARILY INDICATED BY A MOMENTARY WINKING OFF, THEN BACK ON, OF THE TOW HAUL MODE INDICATOR. NO TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL FAILURE CODE WAS GIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE TO THE NEXT STOP AT WHICH TIME IT WAS TURNED OFF. AFTER RE-STARTING AND ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE, THE TRAILER BRAKES WERE FULLY LOCKED. AFTER REMOVING THE ELECTRIC PIGTAIL CONNECTOR THE TRAILER BRAKES RELEASED AND IT WAS TAKEN TO A NEARBY RV DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THE FAULT WAS WITH THE VEHICLE NOT THE TRAILER. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER WERE IT WAS DETERMINED THE TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL MODULE HAD FAILED. THE DEALER INDICATED THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, AT WHICH TIME IT WAS DETERMINED THE BEST SOLUTION WAS TO INSTALL AN AFTERMARKET UNIT WHICH WAS DONE SO THE FOLLOWING DAY. ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, NEITHER FORD NOR THE DEALER WOULD COVER THE COST. FAILURE OF THE TBC AT HIGHWAY SPEED MAY CAUSE THE TRAILER BRAKES TO LOCK, CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE OR INJURY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM AS INDICATED BY THE BACK ORDERED PART AND NOTING SEVERAL THREADS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE ON THE F150 FORUM.
