2015 Ford F-150 complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE "TRAILER DISCONNECTED" WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PRESSED THE OK BUTTON TO CLEAR THE MESSAGE AND THE "BRAKE GAIN" WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF RANGE RESISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000. UPDATED 09/27/16*LJ UPDATED 10/18/2017*JS

VEHICLE W/ LESS THAN 3,800 MILES. PLACED VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND THE RPMS SPIKED AND VEHICLE TOOK OFF. HARD BRAKED TO GAIN CONTROL OF VEHICLE THE TIRES CONTINUED TO SPIN ON ROAD SURFACE. FORCED THE VEHICLE INTO PARK UNTIL THE RMPS DROPPED TO NORMAL RANGE THAN PLACED INTO DRIVE AGAIN, BUT WITH OUT INCIDENT.

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY (ETB) FAILED. VEHICLE HAS 8206 MILES ON IT. BOUGHT BRAND NEW. WHILE DRIVING ON A FAIRLY UNTRAVELED ROAD THE ENGINE POWER WAS CUT AND I HAD TO COAST TO A SAFE LOCATION. THE ACCELERATOR ONLY ALLOWED FOR A SPEED UNDER ~4 MPH WHICH I NEEDED TO GET ON THE SIDE STREET. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AS I WAS EXCITING MY DRIVEWAY WHICH IS ON A DANGEROUS STREET DUE TO CURVES (LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS COMING FROM EITHER DIRECTION). THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH FORD AND MERCURY VEHICLES SINCE AT LEAST 2010 BASED ON MY RESEARCH. NTSB HAS FAILED TO HAVE FORD RECALL THEIR VEHICLES TO REPLACE THIS SYSTEM. THIS ISSUE RESULTS IN (MY EXPERIENCE) COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER TO THE ENGINE. IT MAY ALSO LEAD TO FULL POWER TO THE ENGINE. IF EITHER OCCURS IT HAS A POTENTIAL TO RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH (SUDDEN SLOWDOWN IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC OR SUDDEN INCREASE IN VELOCITY IN AN AREA WITH PEDESTRIANS). I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE NTSB HAS NOT MADE FORD CONDUCT A RECALL CONSIDERING THE POTENTIAL DANGER THIS MAY CAUSE. NTSB HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT HAS FAILED TO FORCE FORD TO CORRECT IT. THE ISSUE APPEARS TO HAVE STARTED WITH THE FUSION/ESCAPE (PLUS TWO MERCURY VEHICLES) AND IS NOW HAPPENING IN F-150 TRUCKS. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS HAPPENING IN OTHER FORD/MERCURY LINES. FORD HAS FAILED TO ADEQUATELY PREPARE FOR THEIR "WE'LL FIX IT AS IT HAPPENS" (SO MUCH FOR CUSTOMER CARE) AND I AM NOW OUT OF A VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST TWO WEEKS. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS COMPANY AS I FELT IT WAS WO

BRAKES WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING LOW FLUID. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A LOCAL GARAGE AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED AND ALSO BRAKE FLUID HAD LOOKED INTO THE BOOSTER. THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED FOR A FEW DAYS. WE DROVE THE VEHICLE 5 MILES WITHOUT ISSUE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NEAREST FORD DEALER NEARLY 40 MILES AWAY. THAT FORD DEALER HAS FAILED TO BEGIN REPAIRS, CLAIMING THEY ARE BUSY AND CONSEQUENTLY IT WILL TAKE 4 OR MORE DAYS TO REPAIR. WE ARE 12 HOURS FROM HOME AND STRANDED BY THIS NEW PICKUP. THIS IS PRECISELY THE SAME ISSUE AS RAISED IN THE COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA ID NUMBER 10873438

I HAVE COOLED FRONT LEATHER SEATS. WHEN TURNED ON, THE SEAT BACKS BECOME VERY HOT INSTEAD OF BEING COOLED. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED ON A NUMBER OF WEBSITES BY QUITE A FEW PEOPLE AND FORD HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN. THIS IS ONE SITE WHERE NEARLY 700 PEOPLE REPORT A SIMILAR PROBLEM HTTP://WWW.F150FORUM.COM/F118/COOLING-SEATS-ISSUE-TSB-FEEDBACK-304154. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BOTH STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, ON THE HIGHWAY OR ANY OTHER CONDITION IN THE NOTE BELOW. THE COOLED SEATS JUST NEED TO BE ON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY USING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, THE VEHICLE MAY FALSELY DETECTS AN OBSTACLE IN ITS PATH AND MAY UNEXPECTEDLY APPLY THE BRAKES. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V-614, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I BELIEVE MY (AND PERHAPS OTHER PEOPLES) VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE CAMPAIGN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY DECELERATED. THE WRENCH AND LIMP MODE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WHILE THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST ON TO THE ROAD SHOULDER AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE HOWEVER; THE VEHICLE DID NOT REGAIN ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHOM PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC THAT LOCATED A FAILURE CODE AT THE THROTTLE BODY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT RETRACTOR DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY IF OCCUPANT IS LEANING FORWARD, AS IN A SLOW BRAKING SITUATION FOLLOWED BY HARDER BRAKING. I'VE SAVED MY FACE DOZENS OF TIMES FROM HITTING THE DASHBOARD, EVEN AFTER THE ORIGINAL SEATBELT RETRACTOR WAS REPLACED. THE 2ND ONE PROVIDES PROTECTION ONLY IN STRICTLY HARD BRAKING SITUATIONS, NOT SLOW-THEN-HARD BRAKING.

"CHECK BRAKE OR CHECK BRAKE CONTROLLER" APPEARS ON DASH. HAS OCCURED TWICE IN FIRST 8,000 MILES. DEALERS CLEAR CODE THE BRAKES SEEM TO BE FINE. NOW " CHECK HILL DECENT" HAS APPEARED AND TRUCK WILL NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 2-3 MPH. THIS HAS OCCURED TWICE IN FIRST 8,000 MILES ON CITY STREETS IN MOTION OR WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP LIGHT.

THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED WHILE TRAVELING ON I-94 IN A SINGLE LANE CONSTRUCTION ZONE DURING A SEVERE RAINSTORM. THE THROTTLE BODY IS A PART THAT CONTROLS THE AIR INTAKE ON THE ENGINE AND WHEN IT FAILS THE ENGINE LOSES POWER AND CANNOT PULL A TRAILER. THE ENGINE DOES NOT STALL, BUT IT DOES SHUDDER ENOUGH TO SHAKE THE VEHICLE. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND UPON RESTART COULD MOVE OUT OF TRAFFIC. THIS OCCURRED TWO MORE TIMES TILL I COULD MAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THE PART IS BACKORDERED DUE TO DEMAND. WHEN THIS PART FAILS IT COULD PUT THE DRIVER AND OTHER VEHICLES IN A LIFE SITUATION AS I WAS WITHOUT AN AREA TO PULL OFF AND SEMIS ON THE ROAD WITH POOR VISIBILITY. I HAVE BEEN WAITING AT A DEALERSHIP FOR 3 DAYS FOR THE PART STUCK IN MY TRAILER AND NO KNOWN TIMEFRAME FOR WHEN THE PART WILL ARRIVE. LEARNED THIS MORNING THAT THE PART WAS SHIPPING WAS CANADA, BUT NO DELIVERY TIMEFRAME.

THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT TENSIONER FAILED. IT IS STUCK IN TENSION MODE, IT WILL NOT RETRACT NOR EXPAND. THERE IS A RECALL ON F150S BUILT JANUARY 22ND 2015 TO MARCH 17TH 2015 SUPERCREW MODELS BUT MINE IS BUILT IN JUNE OF 2015 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALER RECOGNIZED THE ISSUE AND I'M BRINGING IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR TODAY JUNE 15TH, 2016. THIS SHOULD BE AN FYI THAT OTHER PRODUCTION MIGHT BE AFFECTED AND NOT JUST THE MODELS LISTED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL. I WAS BACKING UP THE TRUCK WHEN THE SEAT BELT TIGHTENED UP AND THEN STAYED THAT WAY. IT WON'T EXPAND NOR RETRACT. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I WILL TAKE A VIDEO OF IT WITH MY PHONE SHOULD YOU WANT THAT EVIDENCE.

WHILE USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL THE CAR WILL INEXPLICABLY BREAK WHEN IT SEES SHADOWS IN THE ROAD. USUALLY HAPPENING WHILE TRAVELING UNDER A BRIDGE ON HIGHWAY. CAR WILL DROP SPEED FROM 70 MPH TO APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH WITH SUDDEN BREAKING?

10,600 MILES ON THIS NEW 2015 FORD F-150 ECOBOOST 3.7 ENGINE. WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT 5:15PM ON HIGHWAY 84, THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER AND COASTED TO A STOP IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE TRUCK SHOOK AND VIBRATED, THE ENGINE LIGHT, ANTI SLIP AND TOOL ICON LIGHT ALL CAME ON. THE TRUCK SHOWED THE ENGINE WAS AT 1000 RPM BUT WOULD NOT MOVE OR REACT TO MY PUSHING THE GAS PETAL. I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF AND THE TRUCK AND RESTART TO GET MOVING AGAIN BEFORE IT REPEATED THE SAME EVENTS 5 MORE TIMES. I WAS ABLE TO GET ON A SERVICE ROAD AND LIMP I THE TRUCK HOME. THE TRUCK DYING WITH HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS DEADLY. $45,000 2015 FORD F-150 SUPERCREW 4X4 10,600 MILES

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I HEARD A LOUD POP, I THOUGHT SOMETHING HAD HIT THE FRONT WINDOW BUT NOTHING. I TURNED TO LOOK AT THE BACK OF THE TRUCK AND ALL OF THE REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED (SPIDERWEBS) . NOTHING COULD'VE HAVE HIT THE GLASS BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON A TUESDAY AND THEY FILED THE CLAIM WITH FORD. FORD DID NOT RESPOND UNTIL 10 DAYS LATER STATING THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT FIND A CAUSE FOR THE SHATTERED WINDOW. WTF!!!! IT SHATTERED ON ITS OWN THAT'S THE FREAKING CAUSE...I CALLED THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS TOLD HE WOULD RETURN MY CALL AND UNTIL NOW I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HIM. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IS THERE NO RECALL IF THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS, FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ASAP!! WORST SERVICE EVER, LAST FORD I EVER BUY!!!!

WHILE DRIVING - COMPLETE SHUT DOWN OF VEHICLE - LOSS OF STEERING AND ACCELERATION. SYSTEM WARNING SAYS ADVANCE TRAC WARNING AND SHOWS A PICTURE OF A WRENCH. STOPPED THE VEHICLE - RESTARTED AND CONTINUED TO HAPPEN. VERY DANGEROUS AS IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING - HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

BRAKE FAILURE. PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. WARNING LIGHT INDICATED LOW FLUID. TOOK IMMEDIATELY FOR SERVICE AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED AND ALSO BRAKE FLUID HAD LEAKED INTO THE BOOSTER. BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN STATIONARY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE DRIVING. WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AFTER FIRST ATTEMPT TO APPLY BRAKES. VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO FORD DEALER WITH VERY MINIMAL BRAKING ABILITY BUT NOT COMPLETE LOSS.

2015 FORD F150 PURCHASED NEW, LESS THAN 6 MONTHS OLD WHILE OPERATING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, HEARD A LOUD "CLUNK" SOUND LOSES ALL POWER, ALL WARNING LIGHTS ACTIVATE ON THE PANEL. HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK. FORTUNATELY ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IS CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE. SIGNIFICANT HIGHWAY SAFETY HAZARD.

THE VEHICLE IS A 2015 FORD F-150 EXTENDED CAB. MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT, BUT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE SEATBELT/DOOR LATCHES. DESIGN OF THE REAR DOORS AND THE LATCHES TRAPS THE REAR SEAT PASSENGER IN THE EVENT OF THE INCAPACITATION OF THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. THE REAR DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED UNLESS THE FRONT DOOR IS OPENED FIRST. THERE IS NO WAY FOR A REAR SEAT PASSENGER TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THE FRONT DOOR IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, AND THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF EGRESS FOR REAR SEAT PASSENGERS. THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT AFFECTING ALL 2015 F-150 CREW CAB PICKUPS. SO FAR THERE I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT, BUT THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY FORD BEFORE THERE ARE TRAGIC RESULTS FROM THE DESIGN ERROR.

WINDSHIELD COWL PANELS LEAK RAIN WATER INTO TOP OF THE ENGINE WHERE THE TWO COWL PIECES MEET IN THE MIDDLE. I SUSPECT LOOKING AT OTHER 2015 AND 2016 F150 MODELS THEY HAVE OR WILL HAVE THE ISSUE OF LEAKING WATER ONTO THE ENGINE. BESIDES POSSIBLE CORROSION OR DAMAGE TO ENGINE, THIS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL AND MAYBE A SAFETY PROBLEM.

DURING TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING (32 F) ONE OR MORE OF THE DOOR LOCKS AND/OR LATCHES WILL FREEZE AND BECOME INOPERABLE. POWER LOCK BUTTONS WILL NOT FUNCTION TO UNLOCK THE DOOR AND DOOR HANDLES WILL NOT OPEN THE DOORS (FROM THE OUTSIDE). DOORS HAVE TO BE UNLOCKED FROM THE INSIDE, BY MANUALLY CYCLING THE PULL KNOB MULTIPLE TIMES TO LOOSEN THE FROZEN LOCK. FROZEN DOOR LATCHES ARE ONLY ABLE TO BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE (USING THE INSIDE HANDLES). AT TIMES, THE FROZEN DOOR LOCKS AND LATCHES WILL NOT RE-SECURE THE DOORS AND THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK OR THE LATCH WILL NOT SECURE AND THE DOOR WILL REMAIN UNSECURED/OPEN AND/OR UNLOCKED. SPOKE TO DEALER ABOUT THIS ISSUE IN FEB. 2016 AND WAS ADVISED THAT FORD ISSUED A TEMPORARY FIX FOR THE ISSUE AND A PERMANENT FIX WOULD BE COMING IN THE NEXT 90 DAYS. CHECKED BACK WITH THE DEALER IN THE END OF MAY 2016 - WAS ADVISED THAT FORD STILL HAS NOT ISSUED A PERMANENT FIX FOR THE DOOR LOCK/LATCH ISSUE AND THEY COULD GIVE ME NO FURTHER INFORMATION - OTHER THAN THE TEMPORARY FIX THAT FORD ISSUED OVER THE WINTER ONLY SEEMED TO BE A PARTIAL SOLUTION AND WAS NOT A PERMANENT FIX. I FIND THIS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM AND DEFECT FOR ANY NEW FORD F150 BEING DRIVEN IN A NORTHERN CLIMATE. HAVING DOORS THAT ARE UNABLE TO BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS HAVING DOOR LOCKS THAT ARE FROZEN SHUT AND HAVE TO BE MANUALLY MANIPULATED FROM THE INSIDE IN ORDER TO RELEASE THE LOCK. ADDITIONALLY, THE FACT THAT THE DOORS AND LOCKS MAY NOT

MY TRUCK'S COLLISION AVOIDANCE / ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL HAS FALSE SENSING WHEN PASSING LARGE HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS. AT 50-75MPH WITH SOMEONE RIGHT BEHIND YOU, THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. IF A HEAVY DUTY TRUCK IS ONE OR TWO LANES TO YOUR RIGHT AND YOU ARE PASSING THEM WITH NO ONE IN FRONT OF YOU, THE RADAR SENSOR SENSES INCORRECTLY AND HITS THE BRAKES, FLASHES THE RED COLLISION AVOIDANCE LIGHT AND THE TONE GOES OFF. I'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN AT LEAST 30 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK BRAND NEW.. 4-5 TIMES I'VE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED. IT DOESN'T DO IT WITH ALL SEMI'S, SO IT'S VERY UNEXPECTED. I'VE TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE FORD DEALERS, AND THEY'VE ATTEMPTED REPAIRS AT LEAST 5 TIMES NOW. PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED AND IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WONDERING WHEN IT WILL BE APPLYING THE BRAKES OUT OF NOWHERE FOR NO REASON. IT'S ALSO NOT SAFE TO LET SOMEONE ELSE DRIVE WHO IS UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE FORD RECALL 15S29 AND NHTSA 15V614000, HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED FEB 2015.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2015 FORD F-150, SUPER CREW CAB, 4X4 IN JUNE 2015. IT HAS A V6, 3.5 L ECOBOOST ENGINE. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 7700 MILES. FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS AS I COME TO A SLOW STOP I HEAR AN INTERMITTING ROTATING SCRAPING SOUND WHICH APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE RIGHT REAR BREAK. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, FOR THIS ISSUE THREE TIMES BUT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE OR CORRECT THE ISSUE.

SINCE BUYING MY TRUCK BRAND NEW AROUND A YEAR AGO,I HAVE HAD CONSISTENT PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION. MOST OF THE TIME, IN THE "DRIVE" OPTION, THE TRANSMISSION JERKS JOLTS WHILE CHANGING GEARS. IT IS VERY LOUD, AND MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE SOMETHING BAD JUST HAPPENED. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO FIRST GEAR WHILE THE TRUCK IS STILL MOVING IN MANUAL MODE. IT DOES IT ALMOST EVERY TIME AROUND 7-9 MILES PER HOUR. IT HAPPENS SO VIOLENTLY, IT SLAMS EVERYONE IN THE VEHICLE FORWARD. I REPORTED IN TO JOHNSON CITY FORD IN JOHNSON CITY, T.N. I THINK THIS PROBLEM IS AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY AND MECHANICAL PROBLEM FOR MY FAMILY. I ALSO BELIEVE IT IS DOING PERMANENT DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR LATER DOWN THE ROAD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO MAKE A CLUNKING NOSE. WHEN DRIVING OVER A BUMP OR ROUGH TERRAIN, THE CONTACT FELT THE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD VEER TO THE RIGHT. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE ROTATED, AND THE CLOCKSPRING AND STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS COMMON; HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO REMEDY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000.

NEW 2015 F150, ACCELERATES AND DECELERATES ON ITS OWN. BRAKES CREATE LOUD NOISE. WIRING HARNESS AS IT RELATES TO THE SHIFTING OF THE TRUCK WAS REPLACED WITHIN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS AS WELL. AUTO OFF FREQUENTLY REFUSES TO RESTART. LOSS OF COMPLETE POWER ON HIGHWAY.

CPSC: 2015 FORD F150 SUPERCEW LARIAT: CONSUMER STATED AFTER A LONG TRIP WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT SET TO MAX COOLING, THE CHILD'S HAND BECAME HOT WHILE TRYING TO RETRIEVE THE BOOK FROM THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE SEAT WAS ALSO ON A HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 132F FOR SEVERAL HOURS. *SS

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. SEVERAL EMERGENCY LIGHTS SEQUENCED ON. I REALIZED THAT ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AT IDLE AND THAT VEHICLE KEPT MOVING AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. GOT OFF ROAD AND SHUT DOWN VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT. SAME PROBLEM EXISTED. AT IDOL SPEED VEHICLE WOULD SLOWLY MOVE. PRESSING ACCELERATOR PEDAL DID NOTHING. FORD REPRESENTATIVE INDICATES THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. NO INFO YET ON REDESIGNED REPLACEMENT PART. I WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE "THROTTLE BODY MOTOR ASSEMBLY". I RECEIVED NO INFORMATION FROM FORD PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT AND DO NOT SEE A RECALL.

THE POWERTRAIN HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING 3 TIMES, STRANDING ME, AND MY FAMILY IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF, AND ON, SEVERAL TIMES, I WAS ABLE TO ENGAGE DRIVE, AND MOVE THE TRUCK OUT OF TRAFFIC. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN REPAIRED 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME DEFECT, BUT FORD REFUSES TO REPURCHASE/REPLACE THE VEHICLE. NO ONE IN MY FAMILY IS COMFORTABLE RIDING IN, OR DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. 1ST TIME: WHILE ATTEMPTING TO BACK INTO MY DRIVE WAY, REVERSE COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING, STRANDING ME PERPENDICULAR TO TRAFFIC, IN THE ROAD. 2ND TIME: WITH ANOTHER ADULT, AND 3 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE, I WAS DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION IN ATLANTA, AND THE RPM'S WENT TO 5000, WITH NO MOVEMENT. WE WERE COMPLETELY STUCK IN THE DEAD CENTER OF AN EXTREMELY BUSY INTERSECTION, UNABLE TO DRIVE FORWARD, OR BACKWARD. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OF TURNING IT ON, AND OFF, I WAS ABLE TO MOVE FROM THE INTERSECTION, IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. 3RD TIME: WHILE DRIVING IN STOP, AND GO TRAFFIC, IN ATLANTA, I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, WHEN THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS BEFORE HAPPENED. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE FORWARD, OR BACKWARD, UNTIL A FEW CYCLES OF TURNING THE CAR ON, AND OFF. I HAVE WRITTEN E-MAILS TO THE CEO, MANAGING DIRECTOR, AND CUSTOMER RELATIONS OF FORD MOTOR CO., ONLY TO BE HANDED OFF TO A REGIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON. THEIR ANSWER IS THAT THEY WILL STAND BEHIND THEIR WARRANTY, AND CONTINUE TO FIX THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ALL THE REPAIR FILES, E-MAILS SENT TO ALL INVOLVED, AND PHONE RECORDS OF

GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY DAUGHTER AND WIFE IN TRUCK AND THE GAS PEDAL IS STUCK, THERE WAS NO WHERE TO PULL OVER SO I TOOK THE NEXT EXIT AND PUT TRUCK IN N AND SHUT IT OFF. THIS WAS AT 4000 MILES. CALLED DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY REALLY COULDN'T HELP BECAUSE THERE WAS NO CODE. THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY, THIS TIME WE COULD PULL OVER AND MY WIFE VIDEO TAPED IT AND TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND DEMANDED SOMETHING BE DONE. THEY REPLACED THE GAS PEDAL IN HOPES THAT IT WORKS. THIS HAPPENED AT 8000 MILES. ALSO THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOESN'T LATCH IN FREEZING TEMPS. THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM SO IT WAS NOT FIXED.

IN SOME AFFECTED FORD VEHICLES WITH CLIMATE CONTROLLED SEATS IT IS FOUND THAT EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURES IN EXCESS OF 132 DEGREES F CAN BE REACHED ON THE REAR OF THE FRONT SEATS. THIS AREA IS JUST ABOVE THE MAGAZINE POCKET WHICH CAUSES AN INCREASE RISK OF CONTACT WITH THE HIGH TEMPERATURES. CHILDREN OFTEN STORE BOOKS IN THE MAGAZINE POCKET AND COME IN CONTACT WITH THE LEATHER UPHOLSTERY THAT IS AT AN ELEVATED TEMPERATURE. IF METAL OBJECTS, SUCH AS TOYS, ARE STORED IN THE SEAT POCKET THEY CAN HAVE HEAT TRANSFER FROM THIS UNIT CAUSING THE TOYS TO BE HOT TO THE TOUCH CAUSING THE POTENTIAL FOR BURNS. MY CHILDREN HAVE TOUCHED THIS AREA OF THE SEAT IN THE PAST AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SEAT BEING HOT. THEY ALSO HAVE AT TIMES GRABBED A TOY OUT OF THE SEAT POCKET AND IMMEDIATELY DROPPED THE DIE-CAST TOY DUE TO IT BEING HOT. KNOW AFFECTED VEHICLES INCLUDE LATE 2015+ FORD F150, FORD EXPLORER, FORD MUSTANG, AND OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME SEAT CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM. FORD RELEASED A TSB 15-0154 TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL INTAKE SOCK TO THE CLIMATE CONTROLLED SEATS. THIS REPAIR HAS NOT SUCCESSFULLY MITIGATED THE SAFETY RISK TO CHILDREN BEING EXPOSED TO THE HOT TEMPERATURES.

TRUCK SHUDDERS AS TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH ATTEMPTS TO LOCK UP IN THIRD AND FIFTH GEAR AT LIGHT THROTTLE POSITION WHEN SHIFTING UPWARD. THIS VEHICLE HAS THE 2.7L ENGINE WITH THE AUTO STOP/START FEATURE. WITH THIS FEATURE DISABLED THE ENGINE ATTEMPTS TO STALL AFTER STOPPING AS IF THE FEATURE IS TRYING TO OVERRIDE THE OFF SWITCH. AFTER COMING TO A ROLLING STOP AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC THE ENGINE WILL BOG DOWN AND THEN A SPLIT SECOND LATER FEEL AS IF IT IS GOING TO FULL THROTTLE WITHOUT ME DEPRESSING THE THROTTLE FURTHER. THE ENGINE SPEED SURGES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO LIGHTLY ACCELERATE AND MAINTAIN SPEED WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. -FORD NEEDS TO GIVE OWNERS THE OPTION TO TURN OFF THE AUTO STOP/START PERMANENTLY. I WAS NOT INFORMED THIS FEATURE COULD NOT BE REMOVED WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO SHUT IT OFF AND ONLY SUCCEEDED IN DISABLING THE REMOTE START FEATURE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH THE AUTO STOP/START ANNOYANCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE DROPS OF RADIATOR FLUID ON THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FRACTURED RADIATOR AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MECHANIC ALSO STATED THAT THE WAY THE RADIATOR WAS MOUNTED TO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE WAS WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

DOORS ON MY SUPER CREW CAB WILL NOT OPEN WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW 22 DEGREES. DOORS ARE FROZEN SHUT. DEALER "FIXED" FRONT DOORS BUT REAR DOORS WERE NOT FIXED, PARTS ON NATION-WIDE BACK ORDER BUT DEALER SAYS IT IS LIKELY FORD ENGINEERS TRYING TO SOLVE PROBLEM WITH NEWLY DESIGNED HARDWARE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ROTORS WERE DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE VIBRATED OUT OF CONTROL WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP, CAUSING THE CONTACT TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO AVOID A NEAR CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED. THE DEALER ROTATED THE FRONT AND REAR ROTORS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,100.

SAW RECENT NEWS ARTICLE ABOUT F150 BRAKES..I PURCHASED MY 2015 F150 LAST MARCH 2015. WITH ONLY 980 MILES (YES 980) ON IT MY BRAKES BEGAN TO FADE OUT. ULTIMATELY THEY STOPPED WORKING AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT COME TO A STOP AS THE BRAKES CONTINUALLY FADED OUT. BROUGHT IT BACK TO FORD WHO RAN SEVERAL TESTS AND COULD NOT FIND OUT WHY THIS HAPPENED. THEY CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM BUT DID NOT KNOW WHY.THEY TOLD ME SAME. THE WESTERN U.S. FORD REPRESENTATIVE EVEN CALLED ME TO APOLOGIZE. ULTIMATELY THEY REPLACED MY ROTORS AND PADS, NOT CERTAIN WHAT ELSE THEY MAY HAVE REPLACED. I ASKED WHERE ALL THE PARTS WERE GOING THAT THEY REPLACED AND WAS TOLD BY THE REP THAT THEY WOULD BE SENT BACK TO THEIR ENGINEERS AND I WOULD MOST LIKELY NEVER HEAR WHY THE BRAKES FAILED. I DO NOT HAVE DOCUMENTATION. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND SERVICED AT TOWNE FORD IN REDWOOD CITY CA. I CAN PROVE THIS OCCURRED BY ASKING THEM FOR MY WORK ORDER WHICH SHOULD BE IN THEIR SYSTEM IF NEEDED.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD TELLING ME TO BRING THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL REPROGRAMMED. I DID HAVE THIS WORK DONE. AFTER THE WORK WAS DONE I HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE I WAS PASSING AN 18 WHEELER AND THE TRUCK SET OFF THE COLLISION WARNING ALARM AND APPLIED THE BRAKES HARD. IF SOMEONE WAS FOLLOWING CLOSELY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A COLLISION. THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC IN MY LANE FOR AT LEAST 1/4 MILE AHEAD. FORD HAS NOT BEEN HELPFUL IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE AND THEIR ONLY SUGGESTION IS TO TURN OFF THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR WHAT I FEEL IS AN IMPORTANT AND USEFUL SAFETY FEATURE AND WANT FORD TO FIX THE SYSTEM SO IT WILL NOT MALFUNCTION AND POSSIBLY CAUSE A REAR END COLLISION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED TO THE LEFT AND THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A GUARDRAIL. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

IVE HAD A COUPLE ISSUES WITH THE DOOR LATCHES ON MY TRUCK. WHEN THE WEATHER GETS BELOW FREEZING MY PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT LATCH WITHOUT MESSING WITH THE DOOR LOCKS AND SLAMMING IT SEVERAL TIMES. I JUST SPENT 15 MINUTES OUT IN -4 DEGREE WEATHER TRYING TO GET IT TO CLOSE. I'VE HAD IT SERVICED ONCE AND IT STILL DOES IT. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I ALSO READ ONLINE OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY BIG SAFETY HAZARD IF YOU LIVE IN A NORTHERN CLIMATE WHERE IT GETS COLD.

DURING BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES INTERMITTENTLY THE DRIVERS DOOR WON'T LATCH REPEATED CLOSING OF THE DOOR AND CYCLING OF THE LOCKS DON'T WORK. WARMER TEMPS LATER LET IT LATCH. DURING BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES INTERMITTENTLY THE LEFT REAR DOOR WON'T UNLATCH REPEATED CYCLING OF THE LOCKS HAVE NO EFFECT. WARMER TEMPS LATER LET IT OPEN. GLARE FROM THE CHROME DASH VENT CAUSE A VERY DISTRACTING GLARE ON THE WINDOW WHEN USING THE DRIVERS SIDE VIEW MIRROR. AT A GLANCE BOTH SIDEVIEW MIRRORS SEEM OK BUT WHEN YOU SCAN ACROSS THEM THEY APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN OBTAINED FROM A FUNHOUSE, DISTRACTING.

FRAME HAS WELDS THAT MISSED THEIR TARGET.DEALER REWELDED ONE AND IGNORED ANOTHER. THE FRAME ALSO SHOWED STREAKS OF RUST WHERE SECTION WERE OVERLAPPED. LESS THAN A MONTH OF OWNING IT, A FEW HUNDRED MILES AND NO ROAD SALT EXPOSURE.

JAN. 13, 2016 WHILE TRAVELING SOUTH ON ROUTE 17, IN NORTH CAROLINA TOWARDS RALEIGH, THE SIPPED LIMIT WAS 70 MPH. I LOOKED DOWN AND NOTICED I WAS MOVING AT 80 MPH, BASED ON THE DASH SPEEDOMETER. WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL, THE TRUCK SLOWED DOWN BUT THE SPEEDOMETER REMAINED AT 80 MPH. I CHANGED MY DIGITAL SETTING FROM FUEL ECONOMY TO DIGITAL MPH AND NOTICED THIS MODE SEEMED TO BE ACCURATE, HOWEVER THE DASH SPEEDOMETER REMAINED AT 80 MPH. MY WIFE TOOK A VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM WITH HER PHONE. BY THE TIME WE ARRIVED IN RALEIGH, NC, THE DASH MOUNTED SPEEDOMETER WAS CLOSE TO 100 MPH. WE PARKED FOR SEVERAL HOURS WHILE ATTENDING A MEETING WITH THE SENATOR. ON THE WAY HOME AND HEADING BACK NORTH ON ROUTE 17, THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED DROPPING BACK. BY THE TIME WE GOT HOME, THE SPEEDOMETER WAS ONLY OFF BY APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH COMPARED TO THE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER. PARKED THE TRUCK IN THE GARAGE OVER NIGHT. WHEN USING THE TRUCK THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE SPEEDOMETER SEEMED TO MATCHED UP AGAIN. DEALER REPLACED THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE ISSUE.

NOV 30, 2015: WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE I-64, NORFOLK, VA. DURING A HEAVY RAIN STORM, BOTH WIPER BLADES STOPPED IN THE VERTICAL POSITION. I TRIED TO TURN THE WIPERS OFF AND ATTEMPTED VARIOUS OTHER SETTING BUT THE WIPERS REMAINED STATIONARY IN THE VERTICAL POSITION. DEC. 2, 2015, DEALER REPLACED THE WIPER MOTOR TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

I HAVE HAD OVER A DOZEN PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR LOCKS IN COLD WEATHER. THE DOORS WILL NOT OPEN AND SOME TIME LATER YOU CAN GET ONE OPEN THEN THEY WILL NOT SHUT THE DOOR WILL BOUNCE BACK. ONCE I GET ABOUT 10 MIKES DOWN THE ROAD WITH THE HEATER BLASTING WIDE OPEN THEY WILL FINALLY LATCH CLOSED. I HAVE BEEN TO TWO DEALERS AND NO HELP. STATIONARY AND DRIVING.

WINDSHIELD WASHER DOES NOT WORK AS SOON AS ANY DIRT BUGS ETC OBSCURE VISION I MUST STOP AND CLEAN WINDSHIELD WITH WATER I CARRY INSIDE. THIS BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT IN HIGH TRAFFIC SITUATIONS. IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FORD SAYS THE PART IS UNDER REDESIGN AND NO DATE IS AVAILABLE YET FOR A FIX, IT HAS BEEN FOR OVER 2-3 MONTHS, YET THEY CONTINUE TO SELL NEW F-150S. ARE THEY WAITING FOR A LARGE NUMBER OF BAD ACCIDENTS BEFORE THEY REMEDY THE PROBLEM?

I OWN A 2015 F150 WITH A VERY FRUSTRATING ISSUE. IT SEEMS THE DOOR LOCKS CEASE WORKING DURING COLD TEMPERATURES. THE ISSUE IS SPORADIC, AND AFFECTS EITHER ALL DOORS, OR SOME OF THE DOORS WHEN IT OCCURS. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THIS, WAS IN THE MORNING. TO MY SURPRISE, MY SON WAS ABLE TO OPEN MY DOOR WITHOUT UNLOCKING IT. I RECALL LOCKING IT AND HEARING THE BEEP THE NIGHT BEFORE. I ASKED MY SON TO SHUT THE DOOR, I CLICKED THE LOCK BUTTON TWICE AND HEARD THE HONK. I THEN WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR AND IT OPENED! MY TRUCK HAD BEEN LEFT UNSECURED THROUGH THE NIGHT, AND MANY OTHER NIGHTS FOR ALL I KNOW. I THOUGHT THIS MAY HAVE BEEN A FLUKE, SO I WENT ABOUT MY DAY, AND DID NOT EXPERIENCE THIS AGAIN FOR ABOUT A WEEK. WHEN I EXPERIENCED THIS AGAIN, I WAS ON A LUNCH BREAK AND I HAD DRIVEN TO A LOCAL SPOT WHERE I LIKE TO JOG. WHEN I DO THIS, I LEAVE MY KEY IN THE TRUCK AND USE THE KEYPAD FEATURE AS TO AVOID CARRYING EVERYTHING WITH ME. I PUSHED DOWN THE LOCKING ROD, SHUT THE DOOR AND WENT ON MY JOG. WHEN I RETURNED, I ENTERED IN MY CODE, I HEARD AN UNLOCKING NOISE (TURNED OUT TO JUST BE MY TAILGATE), BUT I COULD NOT OPEN MY DOOR. I TRIED AGAIN, BUT AGAIN WAS UNABLE TO OPEN MY DOOR. I TRIED MY OTHER DOORS, NO LUCK. I WAS STUCK WITHOUT KEYS, WALLET, PHONE (IN MY TRUCK). I HAD TO FIND A RIDE HOME TO GET MY OTHER KEY TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR. I ENDED UP MISSING THE REST OF WORK, EVEN MISSED AN IMPORTANT MEETING. THIS LAST HAPPENED WITH MY SON IN THE BACK SEAT, WHERE HE WAS UNABLE TO OPEN TH

AT TEMPERATURES BELOW 32 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, THE DOOR LOCKS AND LOCK MECHANISMS WILL INTERMITTENTLY FREEZE IN AN OPENED OR CLOSED POSITION. AT TIMES, DOORS WILL NOT STAY SHUT WHEN ATTEMPTS ARE MADE TO CLOSE THEM FROM THE INSIDE; THIS OCCURS ON ALL 4 DOORS. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE DOORS HAVE OPENED, REQUIRING THE PASSENGER AND/OR DRIVER TO PHYSICALLY HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY THE LOCAL FORD DEALER, HOWEVER THEY STATED THAT FORD HAS NOT RELEASED A RELIABLE REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM. OTHER CUSTOMERS HAD THEIR VEHICLES IN REPAIR FOR THE SAME REASON.
