2015 Ford F-150 complaints

SIDE WALL DEFECT IN TIRE CAUSE TIRE FAILURE & ACCIDENT . FRONT RIGHT TIRE BLOW OUT CAUSE VEHICLE TO PULL HARD RIGHT HITTING CAR IN FAR RIGHT TURN LANE . VEHICLE TIRE BLEW CAUSING IT TO SIDESWIPE NEXT TO IT. HOLE IN SIDEWALL DISCOVERED AFTER ACCIDENT .

MY TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES BEFORE OF DRIFTING TO THE RIGHT. I PURCHASED LAST MONTH DEC 2015 THE FIRST TIME THE REALIGNED IT, THE SECOND CROSS ROTATED AND REALIGNED, THIRD THEY SAID THE PUT IT IN A LEARNING MODE AND THE FOURTH THEY CHANGED OUT THE STEERING MECHANISM. I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM HAVING TO MAINTAIN PRESSURE TO THE LEFT AND WHEN I LET GO IT GOES TO THE RIGHT.

BACK DOORS LATCHES WILL NOT RELEASE. I HAVE TRIED TO OPEN THEM IN A HEATED GARAGE (65 DEGREES) BUT TO NO AVAIL. DEALER HAS INFORMED ME THAT PARTS ARE ON A BACK ORDER AND NOT DUE TILL LATE FEBRUARY.

DOORS WON'T LATCH WHEN TEMPERATURE GETS BELOW 20 DEGREES FARENHEIT. DEALER HAS TRIED TWICE TO FIX IT WITH NO LUCK. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE DOOR WILL UNLATCH

IN TEMPERATURES UNDER FREEZING, THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AND REAR DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. WAS ONLY ABLE TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. AFTER OPENING FROM THE INSIDE, THE DOORS WOULD NOT CLOSE AND SECURE SHUT. NEED TO HOLD THE DOOR IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DOOR TO OPEN WHILE DRIVING IS POSSIBLE AS THE DRIVER MAY NOT BE AWARE!! TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE QUALITY AS THIS IS A BIG SAFETY PROBLEM SECONDLY, AS A RESULT OF THE FROZEN DOORS, THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AND REAR DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT FUNCTION... THE DOORS REMAIN UNLOCKED AND WILL NOT LOCK, NEITHER WITH THE POWER FUNCTION OR MANUALLY.... ANOTHER QUALITY AND SAFETY PROBLEM.

NEW 2015 F150 WITH A VIBRATION/ SHUDDER COMING FROM WHAT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSFER CASE OR POSSIBLY THE DRIVE SHAFT. HAPPENS WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT FROM GEAR TO GEAR, AND ON INCLINES...FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. ALSO HAPPENS WHEN JUST CRUISING AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. I'VE HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS FINE BUT THEY HAVE FELT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND ONES ON THEIR LOT. VIBRATION COULD LEAD TO MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM AND ACTUALLY STALL THE VEHICLE WHILE IN TRAFFIC.

WINDSHIELD WASHERS WILL NOT SPRAY WHEN COLD OUT. TANK IF FULL OF PURE -20F RATED FLUID WHICH IS FULL AND NOT FROZEN. NOZZLES HAVE BEEN HEATED WITH HOT WATER AND STILL WILL NOT SPRAY. PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THE CHECK VALVE IS MADE IN SUCH A POOR WAY THAT IT WILL NOT WORK WHEN IT'S COLD OUT WAS 20F TODAY HAD A 3 HOUR DRIVE ON SNOWY WET ROADS WITH NO WASHER FLUID SPRAYING. I KNOW THIS WAS NOT SAFE BUT WAS HOPING IT WOULD FIX ITSELF BUT NEVER DID.

DOOR LATCH ON 2015 FORD F150 MALFUNCTIONED DURING FREEZING TEMPERATURES. ON MONDAY, JANUARY 11 2016 MY TRUCK HAD BEEN STARTED USING THE REMOTE START AND RAN FOR 10+ MINUTES (HEAT ON),WHEN I ENTERED MY TRUCK AND BEGAN BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, I NOTICED THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WAS ON ALONG WITH ALL OVERHEAD LIGHTS, THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS STILL AJAR AND WOULD NOT LATCH. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THE DOOR IT ONLY LATCHED AFTER THE TRUCK WARMED UP. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AT THE TIME WAS 27 DEGREES, AND TRUCK HAD NOT BEEN EXPOSED TO RAIN OR WASHED IN FIVE DAYS. AFRER RESEARCHING ONLINE AND MANY FORUMS, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED ON F150'S MANUFACTURED IN 2015. HOWEVER, WHEN I CALLED FORD MOTOR CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY ADVISED ACCORDING TO THEIR RECORDS THEY HAVE NO ISSUES FOR MY F150 WHICH WAS MANUFACTURED IN AUGUST 2015. DEALER WANTS THE TRUCK BROUGHT IN AND LEFT WITH THEM , I AM NOT A FAN OF SPRAYING A LUBE ON DOOR LATCH AND CLAIMING IT'S FIXED. FORD NOR THE DEALER WOULD ANSWER MY QUESTION OF HOW DID YOU RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITH PREVIOUS F150'S THAT HAD THIS SAME ISSUE OR HAVE YOU HAD ANY F150 TRUCKS RECENTLY WITH THIS ISSUE? APPOINTMENT IS BEING SCHEDULED WITH DEALER ASAP. FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO PERMANENTLY FIX DOOR LATCHING MECHANISM, SO DOORS LATCH IN LOW TEMPERATURES. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS AN ISSUE ON MORE 2015 F150'S THAN JUST THE ONES MANUFACTURED PRIOR TO MARCH 2015. NO MATTER THE WEATHER, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE THE WORRY

IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN BOTH OF MY REAR DOORS FROM THE INSIDE OR OUT. I HAD TO CRAWL OVER THE SEAT AND MANUAL UNLOCK THE DOOR. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY YOUNG CHILD SHOULD THE DOORS FAIL AND I NEED TO REMOVE HER IN AN EMERGENCY.

I PURCHASED A 2015 IN AUGUST 2015. I TOOK THIS INTO THE DEALER 2 WEEKS AGO AS THE WASHER FLUID PUMP WOULD NOT WORK. I WAS TOLD THAT THE WASHER PUMP MOTOR NEEDED REPLACING. HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHEN THIS WOULD BE FIXED. APPARENTLY THE WASHER PUMP IS ON BACKORDER. I WAS TOLD TO USE A "LONG SQUEEGEE" IN THE MEAN TIME. HOWEVER, NOT BEING ABLE TO USE THE WASHER FLUID GREATLY AFFECTS VISIBILITY IN MY STATE (WV) IN JANUARY WITH THE USE OF ROAD SALT. IT HAS BEEN 2 WEEKS TODAY AND I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN UPDATED ON WHEN THEY MAY BE ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.

TODAY, 1/17/16 ON MY WAY HOME I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROSTER BUT THE LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON SO I ASSUMED A FUSE HAD BLOWN OR SOMETHING. THEN WHILE CONTINUING ON MY DRIVE HOME, ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES, LATER I HEARD A LOUD SOUND LIKE A GUN SHOT AND WHEN I TURNED TO SEE WHAT IT WAS LOW AND BEHOLD THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. APPARENTLY THIS HAS HAPPENED TO HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF FORD TRUCKS FROM 2009-2014 AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. US AS CONSUMERS SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BARE THE BURDEN OF THE EXPENSE FOR REPAIR OF A KNOWN DEFECTIVE PART, OR AS SOME OF THE DEALERS HAVE SUGGESTED, FILE THE CLAIM WITH YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY. HERE AGAIN, IT IS EXACTLY THESE TYPES OF CLAIMS THAT WILL KEEP INCREASING INSURANCE PREMIUMS FOR US CONSUMERS BECAUSE LARGE CORPORATIONS LIKE FORD WILL NOT STEP UP AND DO WHAT THEY KNOW IS THE RIGHT THING AND ISSUE A RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING BRAND NEW 2015 F150XLT SUPERCREW WITH 6.5FT BED I WAS FULL STOPPED ABOUT 20FT BEHIND A CAR THAT WAS WAITING FOR ANOTHER CAR TO TURN AS I LOOKED UP IN REAR VIEW MIRROR SAW ANOTHER TRUCK COMING BEHIND ME DOWN HILL AT APPROXIMATLEY 45MPH THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE STATE ROUTE 2 LANE JUST BEFORE ENTERING TOWN. I HEARD HIM LOCK UP HIS BRAKES AND SLAM INTO THE BACK OF MY TRUCK PUSHING ME 15 TO 20FT SLAMMING ME INTO THE SUV IN FRONT OF ME HITTING ME AT DEAD STOP SQUARE ON IN THE BACK DRIVING ME SQUARE ON INTO VEHICLE INFRONT OF ME, NO AIRBAG EVER DEPLOYED I WAS THRUST AGIANST THE STEERING WHEEL IN A SNAPPING ACTION. THE IMPACT WAS SO FORCEFULL IT MOVED THE SUPERCREW BACK SEAT FROM THE DOWN POSITION TO THE FULL UPRIGHT AND LOCKED IN PLACE POSITION AGIANST THE BACK OF THE CAB. THE TRUCK WAS ONLY 6 DAYS OLD WITH 370 MILES ON IT. WITH THAT IMPACT FRONT AND BACK I WOULD THINK AIRBAGS WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT BENT THE FRAME DOWN IN THE BACK AND BENT THE FRAME UP IN THE FRONT SEE THE ATTACHED PICTURES.

DOORS NOT LATCHING AND LOCK S NOT WORKING IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW FREEZING, THE DOOR LATCHES WILL NOT ENGAGE WHEN YOU CLOSE THE DOOR. ALSO, THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT OPERATE. I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE WHILE HOLDING THE DRIVER'S DOOR CLOSED WITH MY HAND UNTIL IT WARMED UP ENOUGH FOR THE DOOR LATCH TO WORK. THERE IS A TSB FOR THIS ISSUE. TSB 15-0052. IT CALLS FOR THE REMOVAL OF ALL 4 DOOR PANELS. INSPECT LATCHES AND CABLES. APPLY GREASE TO ALL COMPONENTS AND THEN REASSEMBLE THE DOOR PANELS. TSB WORK WAS DONE BY MARYSVILLE FORD IN MARYSVILLE, WA ON 12-2-2015. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND KEPT FOR 2 MORE DAYS ON JANUARY 12 2016. SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM IN HEATED SHOP. SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THEY CONTACTED THE FORD SERVICE HOTLINE AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO FIX AT THIS TIME. AT THIS TIME I AM NOT ABLE TO FULLY USE MY VEHICLE IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. CAN NOT LATCH DOOR TO DRIVE VEHICLE AND IF IN AN ACCIDENT THE LOCKS WOULD NOT RELEASE TRAPPING PASSENGERS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND PROVIDE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY.

THIS MORNING THE TEMP. WAS 6 DEGREES OUTSIDE, MY TRUCK WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE I OPENED THE DOOR GOT IN AND STARTED THE VEHICLE. ONCE I TRIED TO CLOSE THE DOOR DRIVER DOOR IT WOULDN'T LATCH CLOSE. I TRIED TO UNLOCK/LOCK IT FROM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE BUT STILL WOULD LATCH CLOSED. INSTEAD OF GETTING IT TOED TO A DEALER I HAD TO DRIVE WHILE HOLDING MY DOOR CLOSED. ONCE I GOT TO WORK (30 MILE DRIVE) THE DOOR BEGAN TO LATCH AGAIN... THIS PUT ME IN A SAFETY RISK AND IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THE NEW F150'S FROM READING THE FORUM COMMUNITY. PLEASE HELP GET FORD TO FIX IT. THE DEALER JUST WANTED TO SPRAY LUBE EXTERNALLY ON THE DOOR MECHANISM WHICH DOES NOTHING.

DOORS LATCHES DO NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY IN FREEZING CONDITIONS. DOOR WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED THUS FORCING ME TO DRIVE WITH A DOOR THAT IS NOT SECURED AND COULD SWING OPEN.

THIS VEHICLE HAS THE 'STOP/START FEATURE;' WHICH ACTUALLY SHUTS OFF THE ENGINE WHEN AT A STOP AND IS SUPPOSED TO 'RESTART' WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED; THE 'ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS' ARE SUPPOSED TO BE OPERATIVE; HOW POWER BRAKES ARE 'ELECTRICALLY OPERATED' IS BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION; HOWEVER, A FEW DAYS AFTER PURCHASE I WAS AT A STOP LITE WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, AND EVENTUALLY RE-STARTED' BY ITSELF; THE DEALER SALES STAFF NEVER INFORMED ME OF THIS 'FEATURE,' AND ALSO DID NOT TELL ME THERE WAS AN 'OVERRIDE SWITCH ON THE DASH; THE FACT THAT I DID NOT OVERRIDE IT, AND THAT THE ENGINE DID NOT RESTART WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, TO ME MEANS THAT THIS 'FEATURE' IS, ON THIS VEHICLE, INOPERATIVE, AND THEREFORE INHERENTLY DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING; MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE IT, AND IT WAS TOWED IN TO THE DEALER ON 12/21/15, WHERE IT REMAINS; I REFUSE TO DRIVE IT AS WELL; LASTLY, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED NO 'STOP/START FEATURE' UPON A PRE-PURCHASE TEST DRIVE WITH THE SALESMAN IN WHICH WE MADE NUMEROUS 'STOPS' AND A FRIEND OF MINE WAS WITH ME ON THAT TEST DRIVE, WHO WILL ATTEST TO THIS FACT; LIKEWISE, IT DID NOT HAVE ANY 'PROBLEMS' UNTIL ALMOST THREE WEEKS LATER, DURING WHICH TIME I DROVE THE VEHICLE DAILY.

UNDER COLD TEMPERATURE (BELOW FREEZING) MY DRIVER DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH CLOSE. IT HAS HAPPED EARLY IN THE MORNING (FIRST DRIVE) AND AFTER MY DRIVE TO WORK IN THE PARKING LOT. IT HAS HAPPENED TWO MORNINGS IN A ROW: FIRST MORNING TEMPERATURE WAS 20F AND SECOND MORNING WAS 33F. THE INSIDE HANDLE FEELS HARDER TO PRESS PRIOR TO THE DOOR STOPPING TO LATCH. AS SOON AS THE TEMPERATURE GET WARMER THE DOOR WORKS FINE. FORD HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (15-0052) FOR THIS ISSUE FOR TRUCKS BUILT PRIOR TO MARCH 2015, BUT MY TRUCK (8/2015 BUILT) AND A CO-WORKER'S TRUCK BUILT AFTER MARCH ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. FORUM ON THE INTERNET ARE BUZZING WITH THIS ISSUE NOW THAT TEMPERATURES HAVE DROPPED BELOW FREEZING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE PUSH START BUTTON WAS TOUCHED AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE STILL IN DRIVE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TESTED THE FAILURE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL RELATED TO THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL NEEDED TO REPROGRAMMED AND FURTHER INSPECTION WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

DRIVER'S DOOR, NOT SECURING WHEN TEMPERATURE IS BELOW FREEZING CAN BE OPENED, BUT THE LATCH IN THE DOOR FAILS TO SECURE THE DOOR. THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES TO ME SO FAR, RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND THEY PUT MORE LUBE IN THE MECHANISM. WHEN THE TRUCK WARMS UP(INTERIOR HEATER FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES) THE DOOR CAN BE SECURED. HAPPENED EVEN WHEN WE HAVEN'T HAD RAIN FOR FOUR DAYS AND THE TRUCK WAS NOT WASHED. I SEE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM POSTED ON F150 FORUMS. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS OCCURRED BUT WAS BEING DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WITH UNSECURED DRIVERS DOOR.

ACCIDENT NOV. 17, 2015 - SOMEONE RAN A RED LIGHT AND TURNED IN FROM OF US - DAMAGE TO BUMPER, GRILL, SEEMED RATHER LIGHT, BUT "RAILS" WERE DAMAGED. PARTS UNAVAILABLE FOR REPAIR. LOCAL DEALER HAS HAD OUR TRUCK FOR 50 DAYS NOW- MORE THAN WE'VE HAD IT. PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN AND NO ONE KNOWS WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT ALL PARTS ARE GOING TO PRODUCTION, AND WAS EVEN TOLD THAT THERE AREN'T ANY NOW FOR PRODUCTION BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS PARTICULAR PART MADE THEM WRONG AND HAD TO RE-MAKE THE ORDER. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS ANOTHER VEHICLE THERE THAT HAS BEEN WAITING 3-4 MONTHS FOR PARTS! I NEED MY TRUCK BACK AND CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG FOR REPAIRS THAT SHOULD HAVE TAKEN 2 WEEKS, MAX. IF FORD IS WILLING TO SELL ME A VEHICLE (OVER $45,000) THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE A SYSTEM IN PLACE TO GET EVEN THE LESS FREQUENTLY NEEDED PARTS WHEN THEY ARE NEEDED. I WANT A REPLACEMENT F-150 SINCE THEY ARE UNWILLING TO PROVIDE THE NEEDED REPLACEMENT PARTS. THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS PAYING FOR A RENTAL CAR, BUT IT'S A COMPACT, VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, AND IT CERTAINLY CAN'T TOW THE TRAVEL TRAILER THAT WE USE AT LEAST EVERY OTHER WEEKEND. WE HAVE ALREADY MISSED 4 TRIPS AND WHO KNOWS WHEN WE'LL GET OUR TRUCK BACK. WE ARE A ONE-VEHICLE, VERY ACTIVE FAMILY, SO THIS HAS BEEN A HORRIBLE INCONVENIENCE FOR US. FORD OWES US A NEW F-150! AND THEY NEED TO SHAPE UP THEIR CUSTOMER CARE! WE'VE ONLY OWNED OUR TRUCK FOR A LITTLE OVER A MONTH, 2,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE PULLING INTO A HANDICAPPED PARKING SPOT, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE POLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED BACK AND LEG INJURIES. THE PASSENGER ALSO RECEIVED BACK INJURIES. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND LATER TO THE BODY SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BUMPER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE FRONT END NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,100.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F- 150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WERE NOT ALIGNED CORRECTLY. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FAILED TO LOCK AND LATCH CORRECTLY. WHEN CLOSED IT DOES NOT SECURE AND WIND IS FELT ENTERING THE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

2015 FORD F-150. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIRBAG PROBLEMS, IGNITION PROBLEMS AND VEHICLE TIRES ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE A/C BLEW OUT HOT AIR, THE TRANSMISSION WAS JERKY WHEN HE APPLIED THE BRAKE, THEN THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS FIRST STARTED, THERE WAS A LOUD GRINDING/GROWLING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE BY THE DRIVER FRONT WHEEL, THERE WAS EXCESSIVE CABIN NOISE, AND TIRE NOISE. THE ELECTRIC ENGINE FAN CAME ON WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING OUTSIDE IN THE HEAT, THE UNDERCARRIAGE WAS SHOWING SIGNS OF CORROSION. WATER WAS LEAKING THROUGH THE DRIVER ASSIST HANDLE GRIP NEAR THE WINDSHIELD. *JB

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MY TRANSMISSION, WHERE IT SHIFTS ROUGH OR DOES NOT SHIFT APPROPRIATELY. WHEN THE TRUCK SHIFTS ROUGH, I BARELY HAVE MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, WHERE IT WILL SLAM INTO GEAR CAUSING THE TRUCK TO JOLT. I ALSO HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE TRUCK FAILING TO DOWNSHIFT OUT OF 4TH GEAR WHILE GOING UPHILLS. WHILE GOING UPHILLS, THE RPMS WILL GO BELOW 1000, WHERE THE TRUCK WILL BEGIN TO SHUTTER AS IF IT IS GOING TO STALL. YOU ARE FORCED TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR IN ORDER FOR IT TO SHIFT, WHERE THE RPMS/TURBO BOOSTER WILL SOAR. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS CONCERN, WHERE THEY PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND IT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I FEEL THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ROUGH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, IF THE ENGINE IN FACT STALLS AND YOU LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I ALSO FEEL BEING FORCED TO ACCELERATE COULD CAUSE YOU TO STRIKE THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU OR LOSE CONTROL IT THIS OCCURS WHILE NEGOTIATING A TURN ETC. THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF ALLOWS WATER TO PASS THE RUBBER SEAL AND DRAIN INTO THE WATER TRACK. I FREQUENTLY HAVE HAD THE WINDOWS FOG UP FROM MOISTURE INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND THE ODOR OF MOLD. IF YOU GOOGLE "2015 FORD F-150 SUNROOF LEAKS", YOU WILL FIND 1000'S OF CONCERNED FORD OWNERS ON FORUMS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES, WHERE FORD STATES IT IS NORMAL FOR THE SUNROOF TO LEAK PAST THE SEAL. I FEEL THE SUNROOF IS A HEALTH CONCERN, AS I BELIEVE MOLD MAY BE GROWING IN THE TRUCK AND IS BEING BREATHED IN. I HAVE BEEN EX

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE AND ABRUPTLY SWITCHED GEARS AS THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REFLASHED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

STEERING IS VERY SENSITIVE TO THE ROAD AND CONSTANTLY DRIFTS TO THE RIGHT. I'VE CHECKED IT ON CITY ROADS BACK ROADS AND INTERSTATE DRIVING. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP EVERYTHING IS IN WORKING ORDER.

CARLITE WINDSHIELD - BOUGHT 2015 F-150 TRUCK ON SEP. 28TH, 2015 AND HAD LESS THAN 1100 MILES. STRESS CRACK FROM PASSENGER A PILLAR RUNNING TOWARDS THE DRIVER'S SIDE ABOUT 5 INCHES AND THEN DOWN TOWARDS THE COWL ABOUT 7 INCHES. I WAS P2232REVIOUSLY PLANT MANAGER AT THE FORD NASHVILLE GLASS PLANT WHERE W/S WAS MADE AND THIS IS THE RESULT OF HIGH RESIDUAL THERMAL STRESS. FORD WARRANTY REFUSES AFTER 4 SUBMISSIONS FORM THE SPRADLEY BARR (FORT COLLINS, CO) DEALERSHIP. I SAW TWO MORE VEHICLES WITH THE SAME TYPE OF STRESS CRACK IN THE LOT, BOTH 2015 USED AS LOANER CARS.

QUALITY CONTROL ISSUE - LOOSE SIDE-VIEW MIRRORS: THIS ISSUE IS NOT ONLY A MATTER OF QUALITY, IT RAISED A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AT THE TIME. AS I WAS DRIVING AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP (AFTER PURCHASING THIS NEW TRUCK) AND INCREASED MY SPEED TO OVER 55 MPH, I NOTICED BOTH OF MY SIDE-VIEW MIRRORS VIBRATING SEVERELY. THEY VIBRATED SO BADLY THAT THE IMAGES IN THE MIRRORS THEMSELVES WERE OBSCURED TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME WERE MERE BLURS. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE A PROBLEM ASSESSED THE VERY NEXT DAY. DESPITE ALL OF OUR EFFORTS TO RESET THE MIRRORS, IT TURNED OUT THAT BOTH UNITS WERE MISSING SOMETHING CALLED A "TENSIONER," OR "TENSION SPRING." THE SIDE-VIEW MIRRORS WERE SO LOOSE THAT YOU COULD WALK UP TO THE TRUCK AND LITERALLY SHAKE THEM BACK-AND-FORTH (WITH A RANGE OF MOTION UP TO A 1/4") WITH ONE FINGER, EXERTING NO EFFORT AT ALL. AGAIN, THIS IS A SERIOUS QUALITY CONCERN AND SHOULD'VE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND RECONCILED PRIOR TO DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS TENSIONER COMPONENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN BOTH MIRRORS PRIOR TO THEIR BEING ATTACHED AND CONNECTED TO THE BODY OF THE TRUCK. THIS DID NOT OCCUR AT THE FACTORY AS IT SHOULD HAVE, NOR WAS THIS ISSUE DISCOVERED DURING THE SUPPOSED QUALITY CHECKS THAT OCCUR ONCE THE VEHICLES COME OFF OF THE ASSEMBLY LINE. WHEN I CONTACTED FORD ABOUT MY CONCERNS, I ASKED THEM TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THE TRUCK, BECAUSE WHO'S TO SAY THAT THERE ARE NOT MORE QUALITY-RELATED ISSUES THAT WO

WHEN USING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, AND WHEN PASSING LARGE TRUCKS, THE F-150 SUDDENLY BRAKES AS IF IT WERE ABOUT TO CRASH, YET THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED 6 TIMES AT FULL HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN PASSING BIG TRUCKS THAT ARE IN IN RIGHT LANE. IT IS A LITTLE SCARY IF SOMEONE IS TAILGATING - THE GOOD PART IS THAT USING THE ACCELERATOR WILL STOP THE BRAKING. I TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY WERE CLUELESS. I'VE ONLY HAD TRUCK 30 DAYS.

TOTAL LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. AT 3022 MILES THE ENGINE CUT OFF WHILE AT 40-50MPH. A SMART DATA LINK WAS REPLACED. AT 3619 MILES THE ENGINE CUT OFF AGAIN WHILE ACCELERATING AT 40-50 MPH. BOTH INCIDENTS HAPPENED WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF STARTING THE ENGINE. SEVERAL ALERTS POP UP ON THE SCREEN TO INCLUDE LOSS OF BRAKING, HILL ASSIST, AND SERVICE ENGINE. FIRST REPAIR WAS FOR 10 DAYS. CURRENT REPAIR IS 3 DAYS AND COUNTING. CURRENTLY I AM AWARE OF ANOTHER F150 WITH THE ECOBOOST 2.7 ENGINE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO FIX.

VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SLAMS OR BANGS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 4 TO 5 GEAR. IT ALSO HANGS IN 4TH GEAR WHEN AT SPEED THAT IS NEAR THE SPEED REQUIRED TO SHIFT UP FROM 4TH OR 5TH GEAR.

I PREVIOUSLY REPORTED THAT MY VEHICLE HAD REPEATED EXPERIENCED IMPROPER ACTIVATION OF THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (AND SOMETIME COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM) AND SUDDEN BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN PASSING CERTAIN LARGE TRUCKS. RECENTLY FORD NOTIFIED ME OF THEIR (SAFTEY RECALL) FIELD SERVICE ACTION NUMBER: 15S29 AND ON 5 NOVEMBER 2015 I TOOK MY TRUCK TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER WHERE THEY PERFORMED THE WORK FOR RECALL 15S29. I TOOK MY FIRST INTERSTATE TRIP FOLLOWING THE REPAIR ON 9 NOVEMBER, A TOTAL DISTANCE OF 74 MILES, DURING THIS TRIP THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AGAIN ACTIVATED MY BRAKES ONE TIME UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE PASSING A LARGE TRUCK. THE SAFETY RECALL REPAIR HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK.

THE TRUCK'S ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM WOULD BRAKE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAD THE ISSUED SAFETY RECALL PERFORMED ON THE TRUCK NOV 2, 2015. THE DEALERSHIP REPORT SAID THAT THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED AND WORKING PROPERLY. THAT EVENING THE TRUCK AGAIN STARTED BREAKING FOR NO REASON. I HAD INSTALLED A DASH CAM THE SATURDAY PRIOR TO THE RECALL REPAIR. I HAVE VIDEO FOOTAGE OF WHAT WAS GOING ON IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK THAT CAUSED IT TO APPLY THE BREAKS. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 51MPH, THE 2 DISTANCE SPACING, AND THE TRUCK SLOWED IT SELF DOWN TO 39 MPH THEN SPED BACK UP AGAIN. I KNOW I CANNOT ATTACH A VIDEO TO THIS REPORT, BUT I AM HAVE IT AVAILABLE TO EMAIL.

MY 2015 FORD F150 PLATINUM HAS A PROBLEM THAT IT KEEPS TELLING THE DRIVER TO PUT THEIR HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE ON THE STEERING WHEEL THE DRIVER PUTS THEIR HANDS, IF IT IS ONE HAND OR BOTH HANDS, THE ERRORS KEEP POPPING UP ON THE SCREEN AND CAUSING A ALARM BELL TO SOUND. TO MAKE THE ALARM GO OFF, YOU MUST EITHER 1) TAKE A HAND OFF THE STEERING WHEEL TO HIT AN "OK" BUTTON OR 2) SHAKE THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT/RIGHT (QUICK SWERVE). THE PROBLEM HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS, IN CITY, COUNTRY, AND INTERSTATE DRIVING. IT CAN SOMETIMES IMMEDIATELY RE-TRIGGER (WITHIN MILLISECONDS) OF HITTING THE "OK" BUTTON. NO AMOUNT OF PRESSURE HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE, AND IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE ON THE STEERING WHEEL YOU HOLD IT, IT WILL STILL TRIGGER. IT TRIGGERS AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY, SUNNY, CLOUDY, OR DARK. I VIEW THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR TWO REASONS: 1) THE ERROR ERONOUSLY TRIGGERS A LOT WHILE DRIVING AND 2) YOU MUST IRONICALLY DO THE OPPOSITE OF THE WARNING TO MAKE THE WARNING GO AWAY, TAKE YOUR HAND OFF THE STEERING WHEEL TO HIT AN "OK" BUTTON. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON MY 2015 FORD F150 PLATINUM SINCE I PURCHASED IT. MY FIRST DOCUMENTED COMPLAINT TO THE DEALER WAS THE 12TH DAY OF OWNERSHIP AT 493 MILES. I HAVE PURCHASED A CAR DVR TO RECORD THE TRUCK'S BEHAVIOR FOR THIS (AND ANOTHER) SAFETY PROBLEM. I HAVE MANY RECORDINGS OF THIS ISSUE. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE DEALER SHOP MANY TIMES, YET THEY HAVE EITHER SAID IT IS WORKING AS DESIGNED, OR

MY 2015 FORD F150 PLATINUM HAS HAD THE FORD RECALL 15S29 APPLIED SEPT 30, 2015. THE ABOVE MENTIONED 2015 FORD F150 PLATINUM HAS SINCE HAD THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM, HARD BRAKING WHILE PASSING A SEMI TRAILER WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS. THIS SERIOUS EVENT HAPPENED OCT 2, 2015. THE RECALL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE HARD BRAKING IS A VERY SUDDEN AND SERIOUS EVENT. IT TAKES THE TRUCK FROM 70 TO 55 OR LESS MPH WITHIN THE TIME IT TAKES ME TO REACT AND HIT THE GAS PEDAL TO STOP THE BRAKING (1 SECOND?). THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW ON MAY 29, 2015. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN CLOSE BEHIND ME WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED. THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED FOR MULTIPLE TYPES OF SEMI TRAILERS, BOX, TANKER, SHINY ALUMINUM, PAINTED WHITE, ETC. ONCE, IT APPEARED TO HAPPEN AS I WENT UNDER AN INTERSTATE OVER PASS (NO VEHICLES WERE ANYWHERE NEAR IN FRONT OF ME AT THE TIME). I HAVE PURCHASED A CAR DVR CAMERA, SPECIFICALLY TO TRACK THIS PROBLEM, AND A PROBLEM WHERE THE CAR VERY FREQUENTLY SAYS TO PUT MY HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL (WHILE THEY ALREADY ARE). THE CAMERA POWER CABLE HAD COME OUT (NO RECORDINGS) ON OCT 1, 2015, SO I DO NOT HAVE A RECORDING OF THE POST-RECALL HARD BRAKING EVENT. THE INTERSTATE HARD BRAKING EVENTS HAPPEN TO ME ABOUT ONCE EVERY 500 MILES (ONE TIME MANY TIMES IN SINGLE DAY). THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES TO BE A SEVERE AND SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY 2015 FORD F150 PLATINUM. THE CONSUMER

SLIGHT STEERING VIBRATION FROM 30 MPH ON UP. PROBLEM IS MUCH WORSE WHEN TOWING A TRAILER (LOADED OR UNLOADED). STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION IS EXCESSIVE. HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE NEW (4900 MILES CURRENTLY SINCE PURCHASE IN MAY 2015). HAS BEEN LOOKED AT SEVERAL TIMES NOW WITH NO RESOLUTION

LATELY I HAVE BEEN DOING MORE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND I HAVE FOUND WHEN I AM BEHIND A NEW F150 THE RUNNING LIGHTS ARE VERY HARD TO SEE. ALL YOU CAN SEE FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR IS A HINT OF RED A THE BOTTOM AND TOP OF THE LIGHT, UNLESS YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE CAR FROM A SIDE ANGLE THE REAR RUNNING LIGHTS ARE PRETTY MUCH USELESS. I ALMOST HIT A BLACK F150 THE OTHER DAY WHEN IT WAS RAINING HARD, BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE ITS RUNNING LIGHTS. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY WEATHER FORD ADDS A CENTER LIGHT UNDER THE TAILGATE OR RECALLS THESE LENSES FOR SAFETY.

PICKUP CRASHED INTO SIDE OF PASSENGER CAR (T-BONE) AT 50MPH. AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.

WHEN USING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, AND WHEN PASSING LARGE TRUCKS, THE F-150 SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING BRAKES AS IF IT WERE ABOUT TO CRASH, YET THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES AT FULL HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN PASSING LARGER VEHICLES IN AN INSIDE LANE OF INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS. THIS SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED BRAKING HAS ALMOST CAUSED THREE ACCIDENTS AND VERY NEARLY CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE ESC INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE PULLED TOWARDS THE RIGHT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

AIR COOLED SEATS DO NOT WORK. BOTTOM OF SEATS BARELY COOLS ON HIGHEST SETTING AND LOWER BACK PART GETS HOTTER AND DOESN'T COOL AT ALL. I DO HEAR THE FANS RUNNING. IT WORKED FOR ONLY A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT IT AND IT HAS NOT WORKED AFTER THAT FOR 3 MONTHS.

WHEN PASSING A SEMI TRUCK ON THE LEFT (SEMI IS TO THE RIGHT OF ME) USING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION, THE TRUCK SLAMMED ON ITS BRAKES AND SAID COLLISION WARNING. CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR ENDED ME. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY LIKE 6 TIMES IN 3 MONTHS AND ONLY HAPPENS WHEN PASSING A LARGE SEMI AND THE SEMI IS TO MY RIGHT. ONLY HAPPENS IN DAY TIME AND EVEN THEN, ONLY SOMETIMES HAPPENS.

AIR COOLED BUCKET SEATBACKS DO NOT COOL BUT INSTEAD DANGEROUSLY OVERHEAT. PROBLEM IS PARTICULARLY BAD IN REAR SEATBACK POCKETS WHEN COOLING FUNCTION IS ACTIVATED. INFRARED TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED IN YOU TUBE VIDEOS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE FAILED TO UNLATCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED, BUT THE DETAILS OF THE REPAIRS WERE UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,700....UPDATED 10-13-15 *BF *CN

THE AUTO START FEATURE OF THE 2.7L ENGINE CAUSES THE ENGINE TO ALMOST STALL WHEN LEAVING A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT. IF THE AUTO START IS ON AND SHUTS DOWN THE ENGINE AS YOU WANT TO GO, THE ENGINE WILL ALMOST STALL OUT CAUSING YOU TO BE IN THE INTERSECTION WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS FEATURE CAN BE TURNED OFF BUT IT MUST BE DONE EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. STALLING IN THE INTERSECTION IS A BIG PROBLEM. FORD WILL NOT TURN OFF THIS FEATURE AND I FEEL THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE FORD OFFER THE OPTION TO TURN THIS FEATURE OFF PERMANENTLY.

COOLED SEATS DO NOT COOL. INSTEAD THE BACK OF THE SEATS, THE PART THAT TOUCHES MY BACK, GETS HOT ALL THE TIME. IT'S A FIRE HAZARD. IT FEELS AS IF THE HEATED SEATS WERE ON ALL THE TIME.

AFTER MORNING STARTUP, VEHICLE STUMBLED, HESITATED ON ACCELERATION INTO TRAFFIC. VEHICLE STALLED AFTER APPROXIMATELY DRIVING 1 MILE. WOULD RE-START, ONLY IDLE, THEN STALL WHEN PUT INTO DRIVE AND ATTEMPTED TO RE-ENTER TRAFFIC. I HAD TOWED TO CLOSEST FORD DEALERSHIP FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS. MY VEHICLE WAS RETURNED OVER TWO WEEKS LATER. THE SERVICE INVOICE OUTLINED THAT THE LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WAS FOUND BAD, SHORTED AND CONNECTING PLUG TO HARNESS MELTED. THEY REPLACED FUEL PUMP AND REPAIRED HARNESS PLUG. VEHICLE WAS NOT FIXED. OVER THE TWO WEEK PERIOD THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER, BODY CONTROL MODULE, AND LAST THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. MY MAJOR CONCERN IS THE MELTED FUEL PUMP PLUG. I WOULD THINK THERE WOULD BE ADEQUATE FUSIBLE LINK PROTECTION TO KEEP THIS KIND OF PROBLEM FROM HAPPENING ESPECIALLY WHEN AFFECTING AN IN TANK FUEL PUMP. THIS MIGHT LEAD TO FUEL FIRES AND ALSO ACCIDENTS DUE TO LOSS OF POWER FROM THE ENGINE. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO SAFELY GET MY VEHICLE ON THE ROAD SHOULDER, AND THEN ONTO A SIDE STREET WITH MINIMAL TRAFFIC. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THAT ONE DEVICE FAILURE CREATING FAILURES IN MULTIPLE VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEMS THAT WOULD COST THE CONSUMER THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OUT OF WARRANTY TO REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THAT A FORD FIELD ENGINEER WAS SENT TO ASSIST THE DEALERSHIP, AFTER HIS VISIT, THE ECM WAS REPLACED WHICH MADE THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONAL AGAIN. ADEQUATE OVERCURRENT PROTECTION ON THE FUEL PUMP SHOULD HAVE

FRONT SEAT BACK COOLING SYSTEM (TED) IS MALFUNCTIONING. WHEN SEAT COOLING IS SELECTED, AFTER ~15 MINUTES, THE BACK OF THE FRONT SEATS REACH EXTREME TEMPERATURES, RESULTING IN BURNING EVERYONE THAT TOUCHES THE BACK OF THE FRONT SEATS. I'VE MEASURE THE TEMPERATURES, AT THE TOP OF THE MAP POCKET, AT OVER 115 DEGREES, WHEN AMBIENT TEMPERATURES WERE AT 75 DEGREES. WHEN AMBIENT TEMPERATURES RISE ABOVE 90 DEGREES, THE FRONT SEAT BACK TEMPERATURE CAN REACH UP TO 150 DEGREES OR MORE! PLEASE REFERENCE F150 OWNERS COMMENTS AND THERMAL PICTURES PROVING THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP, AT THE WEB ADDRESS: HTTP://WWW.F150FORUM.COM/F118/COOLIN...OPERLY-304154/

THE AIR-CONDITIONED "COOLED" LEATHER SEATS IN MY F-150 DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE SEAT BOTTOMS DO COOL, BUT THE SEAT BACKS, WHICH SHOULD ALSO COOL, DO NOT. THERE IS A NEGLIGIBLE AMOUNT OF COOL AIR THAT COMES OUT, BUT EVENTUALLY IT STOPS COOLING, AND GETS HOT. THE BACK OF THE FRONT SEATS (IN THE AREA IN AND ABOVE THE MAGAZINE POCKET) DOES GET HOT. SO HOT I WOULD BE CONCERNED IF A CHILD WERE TO BE SEATED IN THE BACK SEATS, AND REACHED INTO THE MAGAZINE POCKET TO RETRIEVE A BOOK. I IMAGINE IF I PUT A LARGE 'MAP BOOK' IN THE MAGAZINE POCKET, IT WOULD COMPLETELY RESTRICT THE EXHAUST AIRFLOW FROM THE TED (DEVICE THAT'S SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE COOL AIR TO THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER). FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE DEALERSHIPS HAVEN'T BEEN MUCH HELP ON THIS. THERE IS SUPPOSEDLY A TSB IN THE WORKS, AND NEW PARTS TO HELP GET COOL AIR TO THE TED, AND PROPERLY EXHAUST THE HOT AIR, BUT ANY SUCH FIX HAS BEEN FAR TOO SLOW IN COMING. IN THE MEANTIME, I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, IN ADDITION TO THE COMPLAINT THAT MY COOLED SEATS DON'T COOL!

WHEN PASSING A LARGE TRUCK ON A 4 LANE ROAD, ADAPTIVE CRUSE DETECTED A COLLISION AND APPLIED FULL BRAKING. THIS OCCURRED AS I WAS IN THE TRUCKS FULL SHADOW. AGAIN LAST WEEK WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND PASSING A SEMI, MY VEHICLE DETECTED A COLLISION AND APPLIED FULL BRAKING, AGAIN WHILE IN THE SEMI'S SHADOW.
