2016 Ford F-150 complaints

WHILE TOWING A TRAVEL TRAILER, MY 2016 FORD F-150 2.7L ECOBOOST ENGINE EXHIBITS INTERMITTENT ENGINE STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND/OR AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO GUN THE ENGINE AFTER RESTARTING TO KEEP IT RUNNING. NOTE: THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN TOWING.

AFTER PARKING, SHUT MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND THE REAR WINDSHIELD STARTED TO CRACK AND FALL APART. NOTICED MY REAR DEFROSTER MELTED THE REAR WINDOW DECAL. AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH I BELIEVE I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM OTHERS DRIVERS HAVE HAD WITH A DEFECTIVE REAR DEFROSTER THAT OVER HEATS THE REAR WINDOW AND HEAT STRESSES IT TO A POINT WHERE A SIMPLE DOOR SHUTTING ACTION WILL BE ENOUGH TO CRACK AND SHATTER THE WINDSHIELD.

THE DRIVER DOOR CAME OPEN AND WOULDN'T CLOSE. I HAD TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED WHILE I DROVE HOME ALMOST 40 MILES AWAY!!! IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO HOLD BECAUSE IT KEPT WANTING TO FLY OPEN. THIS FIRST HAPPENED WHEN I GOT IN MY TRUCK TO LEAVE MY FARM, BUT I HAD NO OPTION OTHER THAN TO DRIVE HOME TRYING TO HOLD THE DOOR SHUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE IDLE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE CONTACT SHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SAYVILLE FORD (5686 SUNRISE HWY, SAYVILLE, NY 11782; (855) 561-1191) AND REPAIRS WERE MADE ON THE ENGINE 8 TIMES WITHIN A MONTH HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

THE LUG NUTS ARE IN TWO PARTS AND THE DIFFERENT PARTS TEND TO SEPARATE FROM EACH OTHER, NOT ALLOWING YOU TO REMOVE THE LUG NUTS TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE. I WAS CHANGING THE BRAKES ON THE TRUCK SO I WAS STATIONARY BUT COULD NOT REMOVE THE TIRE DUE THE LUG NUT.

DOOR LATCHES 'FREEZE' AND WILL NOT ENGAGE IN COLD WEATHER (VEHICLE IS PARKED OUTSIDE AND IN COLD WEATHER THIS IS FREQUENT PROBLEM). THIS PROBLEM HAD PREVIOUS RECALL / REPAIR BUT FIX IS NOT WORKING. REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK IN ONE SECTION OF 3 PART WINDOW (HAS ONE PART OF THREE SECTION - SECTION ON DRIVERS SIDE). VEHICLE HAS 30,000 MILES. WINDOW SECTIONS THAT DO WORK GET HOT

BACK OF CAMERA SCREEN FAILED. WHEN PUTTING TRUCK IN REVERSE THE SCREEN IS BLANK. THIS SAME SCREEN ALSO DISPLAYS THE RADIO, AND IT IS ALSO BLANK. HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY OR MOVING. AT FIRST THE SCREEN WOULD GO OUT, AND AFTER YOU DROVE THE CAR AND TURNED IT OFF IT WOULD WORK AGAIN. THEN IT STARTED TO GET FUZZY, AND FINALLY IT WENT COMPLETELY OUT. UNSAFE IF BACKING UP UNLESS YOU ARE AWARE THAT THE BACK UP CAMERA SCREEN IS NOT WORKING. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER WHEN IT FIRST HAPPEN WHEN UNDER WARRANTY BUT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT FAILING THEY STATED THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME IT FAILED OUT OF WARRANTY AND I PAID TO HAVE THIS FIX BUT I FEEL OTHERS MAY BE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. IF THERE IS AN ISSUE PERHAPS THIS CAN BE ADVERTED FOR THE FUTURE FOR OTHER PEOPLE .

THE TRUCK MAKES A LOUD TRANSMISSION SQUALL UNDER LOAD IN A DOWNSHIFT. THIS IS A CONSISTENT ISSUE THAT FORD AND THE LOCAL DEALER CONTINUE TO SAY THEY CANNOT REPEAT. ANYTIME I DRIVE THE TRUCK IN TERRAIN IT HAPPENS. AND I DO NOT OFF ROAD THE VEHICLE, BEFORE YOU START ASKING THOSE QUESTIONS. ALSO WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS COLD/AMBIENT TEMP, THE SHIFTING IS INCREDIBLY ROUGH, AND JERKY. NOT JUST A LITTLE BUT THE WHOLE TRUCK WILL LUNGE. THIS IS A 5.0 V8 TRUCK, NOT LIGHT AND FOR IT LUNG IS DISTURBING. I AM SURE IF THIS HAPPENS IN CLOSE TRAFFIC SOMEONE WILL HIT SOMETHING. ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.

INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF REVERSE GEAR TO ENGAGE. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE REVERSE GEAR FAILS TO ENGAGE AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO SHIFT INTO AND OUT OF GEAR. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ELECTRONIC CONTROL ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING CONTROL AS IT EVENTUALLY RESOLVES ITSELF AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS. THE PROBLEM IS BOTH INCONVENIENCE AND SAFETY AS BACKING UP IS OFTEN NECESSARY TO EXECUTE A NORMAL TURN AROUND. AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN TWO INSURANCE CLAIMS RESULTED FROM THIS DEFECT; I WAS ATTEMPTING TO BACKUP IN MY HOME DRIVEWAY AND THERE WAS DELAY IN THE REVERSE GEAR ENGAGEMENT; NOT FULLY COMPREHENDING WHAT WAS GOING ON, I PRESSED ON THE GAS TO PROCEED WHILE REVERSE WAS NOT ENGAGING. THEN THE TRUCK SUDDENLY ENGAGED IN REVERSE AND I LURCHED BACKWARD HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE BEFORE I COULD APPLY THE BRAKE. TOTAL DAMAGES FOR BOTH VEHICLES EXCEEDED $15,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS LOOSE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND CHECK THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND BECAME AWARE THAT THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WAS LOW. THE CONTACT REACHED OUT TO AUTONATION FORD BRADENTON (5325 14TH STREET WEST, BRADENTON, FL 34207 (941) 275-1267) AND INQUIRED WHAT BRAKE FLUID WAS RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE FLUID WAS PURCHASED AND THE RESERVOIR WAS TOPPED OFF. THE CONTACT RE-ENTERED AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT RE-CHECKED THE BRAKE RESERVOIR AND BECAME AWARE THAT THE RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE RESIDENCE AND THEN HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE SAME DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE FLUID LEAKED FROM THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE CONTACT WAS QUOTED A COST FOR THE REPAIRS AND WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE HAD EXPIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED TO ASSIST FINANCIALLY WITH THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,120.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE THE TIMING IS OFF. HESITATES AS YOU ROLL AT 50 OR 60MPH. THEN WHEN YOU EXIT FREEWAY AND ARE STOPPED AT LIGHT THE IDLE BECOMES ROUGH AND DROPS BELOW 500RPM. SEVERAL TIMES THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING WHILE WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. THE PREVIOUS OWNER NOTICED IT AS WELL AND SHE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET CHECKED. DEALER SAID THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND NO ERROR CODE SO CAN'T FIX IT. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER FORD DEALER AFTER PURCHASE AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM WHAT TO LOOK FOR. FORD F150 OWNERS BOARD HAS LIST OF MANY PEOPLE WITH SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2014-2016 ERA TRUCKS. FIXES FROM THEIR POST SHOW REPLACEMENT OF 2 NEW CAM PHASERS AND NEW VCT SOLENOIDS REPAIRS THE ISSUE. VCT HAD LOCKED UP AND ALLOWED THE CAM TO JUMP BY TWO TEETH. SO VCT FAILURE WAS CAUSING THE TIMING TO BE OFF WHICH IS THE EFFECT I AM EXPERIENCING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE STALLING UPON STOPPING AT OFF RAMP LIGHT IS BECAUSE THE TIMING IS OFF. FORD WILL NOT REPAIR UNLESS CEL IS ON HOWEVER. I TOLD SERVICE TEAM MEMBER MY CONCERN ABOUT TAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC AND HAVING THE ENGINE STALL MID LANE AND GETTING T-BONED.

MY 2016 FORD F150 RECENTLY STARTED WHISTLING AT THE 2500RPM POINT FROM THE FRONT END OF THE MY TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP EXPECTING A VACUUM HOSE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS HAD WARPED AND BROKE OFF SOME OF THE MOUNTING BOLTS. I WAS A BIT SHOCKED SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS 102,000 MILES ON IT AND IT'S NOT BEEN ABUSED IN ANYWAY. UNFORTUNATELY, THE FACTORY WARRANTY RUNS OUT AT 100,000 MILES AND ON THE HOOK FOR THE COST OF THIS $1600+ (SO FAR) REPAIR. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET IT DID NOT TAKE ME LONG TO DISCOVER THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE. THERE WERE A MULTITUDE OF WEBSITES AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS ADDRESSING THIS KNOWN PROBLEM WITH FOLKS QUITE UPSET THAT AN OFFICIAL RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED YET WITH A PROPER FIX/REPLACEMENT AND REIMBURSE THE OWNERS WHO HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR THE FIX. SEEMS LIKE IT'S NOT A MATTER OF IF IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOUR TRUCK...BUT WHEN. VERY DISAPPOINTING, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HEAR HOW MANY KNOWN ISSUES HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPORTED. EXHAUST FUMES LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE AND POSSIBLY INTO THE CAB...SHOULD TAKE A HIGH PRIORITY TO RESOLVE. LET'S GO FORD...MAKE IT RIGHT! THANK YOU.

WHILE DRIVING ON SUBURBAN HIGHWAY THE LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING ALERTED AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL INCREASED AND EVENTUALLY LOST ALMOST ALL BRAKING EFFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND LEAKED INTO THE BOOSTER. A CHECK OF THE VIN INDICATED THAT IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE EXISTING RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM.

THE STEERING ON MY 2016 FORD F-150 WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ALMOST MAKING ME CRASH I LOST CONTROL OF MY TRUCK THE STEERING WHEEL WAS REALLY HARD FOR ME TO TURN LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME SAFE I HAVE A HOLE BUNCH OF LIGHT ON MY DASH COMING ON SAY STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE STEERING

THE ENGINE HAD BEEN DYING AT STOP SIGNS, RED LIGHTS, AND IN PARKING LOTS UP TO THIS POINT (IN DRIVE OR PARK) BUT ENDED UP STALLING EIGHT OR NINE TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE COMING THROUGH ATLANTA RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THIS ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS WORKED TO REPAIR THE ISSUE TWICE SO FAR. I HAVE MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY PLAN TO REPLACE THE VCT SOLENOIDS NEXT. FORD SHOULD ADMIT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND INITIATE A RECALL TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE ON ALL THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

ADVANCETRAC CAME ON HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE CAME ON MOTOR DIDN'T DIE BUT THE GAS WOULDN'T WORK SO I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART IT AND THEN IT DIDN'T WANT TO START AFTER IT RESTARTED IT GOES AWAY AND YOU CAN CONTINUE TO DRIVE IDK WHAT IT COULD BE BUT I FIND IT VERY DANGEROUS IT'S HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN 2 DAYS

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR DOES NOT LATCH ALL THE TIME WHEN CLOSED. CAR WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE WITH TEMPS IN THE HIGH 40'S AND HAD NOT BEEN IN ANY WET WEATHER OR WASHED IN 4 DAYS. SHUT IT 5 TIMES AND IT WOULD JUST BOUNCE BACK OPENED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF SINCE WE OWNED THE TRUCK(1-2019). HAPPENS MORE OFTEN IN COOLER WEATHER. HAVE TALKED TO THE FORD DEALER SINCE 1-2019 AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND TO USE PENETRATING OIL ON THE LATCH. WHICH HAS NOT HELPED.

BRAKES WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING, SEEMS TO BE PART OF AN ISSUE FORD IS AWARE OF.

PROBABLY ABOUT 95% OF THE TIME WHEN USING MY BACK UP CAMERA HAS A DISTORTED IMAGE WITH LINES AND COLORS THOUGHT OUT THE WHOLE SCREEN.

FORD HAS JUST RECALLED 700,00 VEHICLES OF VARIOUS 2020 MODELS DUE TO THE REAR-VIEW CAMERA, WHICH FEATURES A CIRCUIT BOARD THAT CAN BE FAULTY RESULTING IN "BLANK OR DISTORTED IMAGES" ON THE SCREEN. I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT AS I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE AFFECTS OTHER MODEL YEARS, SPECIFICALLY THE 13TH GENERATION F-150. I HAVE A 2016 F-150 THAT IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED IN THE CURRENT RECALL AND OF WHICH I HAVE REVIEWED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS POSTED ACROSS MULTIPLE FORUMS. THIS ISSUE PRESENT A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN AS VISIBILITY BEHIND THE VEHICLE IS LOST WHEN THE CAMERA MALFUNCTIONS. I HAVE INCLUDED AN IMAGE OF MY CAMERA WHEN VEHICLE IS PLACED IN REVERSE. I AM REQUESTING THAT THE NHTSA ENCOURAGE FORD TO EXPAND THEIR RECALL TO INCLUDE ALL AFFECTED MODELS AS THEY MUST BE AWARE THE ISSUE IS BROADER THAT WHAT IS BEING COMMUNICATED. I AM INCLUDING THE LINKS WHICH INCLUDE THE COMMENTS OF SEVERAL CONSUMERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THESE SAME SYMPTOMS. YOU WILL SEE THESE DISCUSSIONS GO BACK SEVERAL YEARS.

MASTER CYLINDER LEAKED BRAKE FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER CAUSING LOSS OF STOPPING ABILITY. THIS OCCURED ONE MORNING AS I ARRIVED AT WORK. THE LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING CAME ON AND I PLANNED TO GET MORE FLUID DURING MY LUNCH BREAK. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE IN MY VEHICLE FOR LUNCH I IMMEDIATLEY NOTICE A TOTAL LACK OF BRAKING ABILITY AND NARROWLY MISSED BACKING INTO A NEARBY BUILDING. I HAD TO HAVE MY TRUCK TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP FOR REPAIR. THE REPAIR INCLUDED A NEW MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER. I PAID $225 FOR THE TOW TRUCK AND NEARLY $700 FOR THE REPAIRS. LUCKILY THIS DID NOT OCCUR WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

DEC 2019, I REPORTED TO THE CAR DEALER THAT MY DOOR LATCH WAS FROZEN AND MY DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GO TO WORK (STILL IN DRIVEWAY). FRED BEANS OF WEST CHESTER, PA TOLD BE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO THAT I SHOULD BE ABLE TO HEAT IT UP. ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOW OCT 2020, I FOUND IN MY FOLDER WHILE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING ELSE MFG RECALL NUMBER 17S33, NHTSA RECALL # 17V652. I SETUP UP AN APPT, DROPPED OFF MY CAR AND THEY CALLED ME THIS MORNING 10/5 THAT THEY CANNOT REPAIR BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT GET REIMBURSED.

WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK I STARTED SMELLING SMOKE. AS I MADE A TURN I SAW SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE REAR SEAT. I TRIED PULLING OVER ASAP BUT HAD TO DRIVE ANOTHER 100 YARDS. A LOUD BANG WENT OFF WHEN I PULLED OVER. AS I EXIT THE CAR I FOUND MY REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED INTO THOUSAND OF PIECES. MY TRUCK SMELL LIKE A FIRE AND WINDOW DAMAGE IS VERY DANGEROUS.

I WAS RECENTLY PULLING A TRAVEL TRAILER DOWN A MOUNTAIN PASS WITH MY 2016 F150 WITH THE 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE LOSING POWER TO THE MOTOR, THE TRAVEL TRAILER STARTED 'FISH TAILING'!! THE 2 VEHICLES BEHIND ME LOCKED UP THEIR BRAKES (COULD VISIBLY SEE SMOKE), THE THIRD VEHICLE WAS SLOWER TO REACT AND PULLED OUT AND PASSED ALL 3 OF US NARROWLY AVOIDING A HEAD ON COLLISION! I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE SERVICE SHOP AND IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT WAS REPLACED....FOR THE 4TH TIME IN 94,000 MILES!!! THE PREVIOUS 2 TIMES THIS HAPPENED TO ME THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED (VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE), BUT THOSE TIMES I WAS DRIVING 75MPH DOWN A 5 LANE FREEWAY AND HAD TO CROSSOVER 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER TO MY ENGINE! VEHICLES SWERVING EVERYWHERE, PEOPLE LOCKING UP THEIR BRAKES....MINOR MIRACLE THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS. I'VE FILED COMPLAINTS TO FORD ON EACH OCCASION AND THEY'VE DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT! IT'S A COMMON, WELL KNOWN PROBLEM THAT FORD IS AWARE OF AND SOMEBODY IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE! ASKING FOR HELP!

THE PASSENGER SIDE LED HEADLIGHT FIRST BEGAN TO FLICKER 2 MONTHS AGO. HEADLIGHT WOULD BE ON AND THEN SUDDENLY GO OFF. THEN THE PROBLEM SWITCHED TO THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT. NOW, SOMETIMES BOTH LIGHTS GO OFF. I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PEOPLE FLASH ME AT NIGHT INDICATING THAT MY LOW BEAMS ARE STILL TO BRIGHT FOR THE OTHER DRIVERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IN A PARKING LOT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE, AFTER RELEASING THE PEDAL THE VEHICLE WAS COASTING IN THE PARKING LOT, THE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED AGAIN AND TRAVELLED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT STATED HE HAD TO SWERVE FROM COLLIDING WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE PARKING BRAKE WAS APPLIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED TO PARK AND TURNED OFF. THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND PARKING BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE EXITED THE VEHICLE AND UPON OPENING THE HOOD DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE PARKED THE VEHICLE AND WENT TO AUTOZONE FOR BRAKE FLUID. THE BRAKE FLUID WAS ADDED TO THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL THE BRAKES WAS OPERATIONAL. THE CONTACT DROVE TO HIS RESIDENCE, WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE PARKING BRAKE APPLIED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE REOCCURRED WHILE STOPPING ON A HILL. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN BACK TO THE RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V332000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) HOWEVER, THE PART TO REMEDY THE FAILURE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FRITTS FORD (8000 AUTO DR, RIVERSIDE, CA 92504) WHERE IT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 96,000.

COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. ENTERED VEHICLE IN MORNING AND PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. POPPED HOOD AND CHECKED FLUID (FINE). GOT BACK IN VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTED TO MOVE IT A FEW FEET - PUMPED BRAKES - NO STOPPING FORCE - AFTER 2 - 3 PUMPS THE BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON - STOPPED ENGINE AND RECHECKED FLUID (HAD DROPPED ABOUT 1 INCH - WAS NOT BELOW MIN) - BIG POOL OF BRAKE FLUID UNDER RH FRONT WHEEL. HAD (DAY BEFORE) JUST COMPLETED LONG TRIP THROUGH MOUNTAINS (STEEP CANYONS) - FEEL LUCKY TO BE ALIVE!

ON 9/6/2020, WHILE DRIVING APPROX 60MPH ON HWY 128 BETWEEN JAL AND CARLSBAD NM, THE BRAKE PEDAL ON MY 2016 FORD F150 LARIAT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NO BRAKES. A MESSAGE ON MY DASH CAME UP SAYING TO ADD BRAKE FLUID AND I DID. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP, CARSLBAD FORD LINCOLN. THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER HAD A RECALL AND WAS REPLACED, BUT THE BRAKE FLUID THAT LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE WAS NEVER ADDRESSED BY THE SERVICE AND REPAIR CENTER. AS A RESULT, I NOW HAVE OVER $6,000 WORTH OF COLLATERAL DAMAGE TO MY ENGINE THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO FIX BECAUSE I'M BEING BLAMED FOR THE DAMAGES FOR ADDING BRAKE FLUID TO THE RESEVOIR. IT'S BEYOND OBVIOUS THAT THE ONLY WAY ANY BRAKE FLUID LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE WAS DUE TO THE DAMAGED MANUFACTURER PART(S), THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BOOSTER, THAT WERE NOT ONLY DAMAGED BUT IN RECALL STATUS - RECALL# 20S31. THE GM AND SERVICE MANAGER OF THE CARSLBAD FORD LINCOLN DEALERSHIP HAVE THE POWER, THE SUPPORT AND BACKING OF A BEHEMOTH. THEY HAVE THE FULL SUPPORT OF THE GREAT AMERICAN AUTO GIANT FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND I HAVE 100% NOTHING AND NOBODY! THERE HAS TO BE SOME LAW OR SOME THING TO PROTECT YOUR EVERYDAY INNOCENT TAX PAYING AMERICAN CITIZEN FROM BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR THESE POWERFUL ENTITES AND/OR COMPANIES. I'M WRITING THIS COMPLAINT ON 9/27 AND THEY'VE HAD MY TRUCK SINCE 9/12; JUST OVER TWO WEEKS. I'M ISSUING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I LITERALLY CANNOT PAY FOR THE $6,212 WORTH OF REPAIRS THAT

LOSING BREAK FLUID, NO VISIBLE AREAS UNDERNEATH TRUCK INDICATING BUSTED LINE. ATTEMPTED TO FILL LINE WITH UP TO 64OZ, FLUID KEPT DISAPPEARING. MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN COMPLETED BY CERTIFIED FORD DEALER FOR ENTIRETY OF THE TRUCKS LIFE. I HAVE READ ONLINE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH RECALLS FOR SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE.

I STARTED MY CAR WITH REMARK START AROUND 7:25 AM GOT INTO THE TRUCK AT 7:30 DRIVE TO WORK PARKED AND WHEN I CAME BACK FROM WORK THE REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. MY TRUCK HAS CLAIMANT CONTROL AND SEEMS TO HAVE TURNED ON DEFROSTERS IN THE MORNING.

THE VEHICLE STALLS BETWEEN SHIFTS. IT HAS HAPPENED AT ALL SPEEDS. FREEWAY, PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVE. IT HAS STALLED WHILE IM TRYING TO TURN LEFT IN FRONT OF UNCOMING TRAFFIC. NUMEROUS WARNING LIGHTS FILL THE DASH. NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. AFTER YOU CAN PULL IT OVER, TURN IT OFF, WAIT A FEW SECONDS, THEN RESTART IT RUNS FINE. TIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN OUT OF THE BLUE. IVE HAD IT INTO MY FORD DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES NOW AND THEY STILL CANT FIX IT. HAPPENED JUST YESTERDAY, ABOUT GOT HIT BY AN ON COMING VEHICLE. LUCKILY, AFTER A HORN AND SLAMMING ON THEIR BRAKES, THEY STOPPED TO SEE IF EVERYTHING WAS OK. AGAIN SLOW SPEEDS OR FAST, IT JUST STALLS. YOU ARE LEFT WITHOUT POWER WHEN YOU NEED IT THE MOST. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, JUST A SHUTTER AND IM LEFT ROLLING WITH NO POWER. ITS HAPPENED PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. ITS HAPPENED TURNING INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. FORD WONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AGAIN 3 TIMES IN THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ALWAYS SAY "WITHOUT A TROUBLE CODE THERES NOTHIJG WE CAN DO". THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEBODY KILLED. COULD HAVE BEEN ME JUST YESTERDAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE NEARBY DEALER DEWEY FORD (3055 SE. DELAWARE AVE, ANKENY, IA 50021, 515-259-8640) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE REMAINED AT THE DEALER, PENDING REPAIRS BY A THIRD-PARTY WARRANTY COMPANY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,850.

BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER SPONTANEOUSLY DEVELOPED A LEAK CAUSING SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED BRAKING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE PEDAL BECAME VERY SOFT AND WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOORBOARD. THIS IS THE VERY PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN RECALL 20V-332, BUT MY MANUFACTURING DATE IS 9 DAYS PAST THE CUT-OFF WINDOW OF AUGUST 1, 2016. THERE ARE PROBABLY MORE TRUCKS OUT THERE LIKE MINE WAITING TO FAIL.

THE BACK WINDOW SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING OR TRAUMA/CAUSE. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT LESS THAN 25 MPH ON A CITY STREET WHICH WAS SMOOTHE.

I EXPERIENCED COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE IN MY TRUCK. THE FAILURE OCCURED WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY. I DROVE AT LOW SPEEDS IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA THE NIGHT PRIOR AND DID NOT NOTICE ANY DIMINISHED BRAKING FUNCTION. THE NEXT MORNING, I STARTED THE TRUCK AND OBSERVED THE BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT AND NO RESISTANCE IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THERE WERE NO VISIBLE LEAKS FROM ANY OF THE BRAKE LINES BUT THE BRAKE FLUID RESEVOIR WAS EMPTY. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A FAILURE OF THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER, VIA LEAKING ALL BRAKE FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS FAILURE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE 20S31 RECALL, BUT MY VIN WAS NOT REPORTED AS BEING EFFETED BY THIS RECALL. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE MAY BE MORE VEHICLES OUT THERE THAT ARE EFFECTED BY THIS FAULTY PART. MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY A FORD DEALER, AND WE OPENED A INCIDENT REPORT WITH FORD BUT THEY DECLINED ANY RESPONSIBLITY FOR THIS FAILURE.

I ERRATICALLY SIMULTANEOUSLY RECEIVE A WARNING THAT ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL IS INOPERATIVE & COLLISION AVOIDANCE IS INOPERATIVE. BOTH INDICATE SENSOR IS BLOCKED WHEN IT IS CLEARLY NOT THE CASE. ALSO RECEIVE ARBITRARY COLLISION WARNINGS. BOTH OCCUR WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES IN THE VICINITY. THE SYSTEMS WORKS FINE MOST OF THE TIME BUT THEN THE PROBLEM APPEARS "OUT OF NOWHERE". SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING IN ALL FORD MODELS WITH ADAPTIVE CRUISE/COLLISION WARNING. MAY HAPPEN ON THE INTERSTATE OR IN TOWN. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF REPORTS OF THIS CONDITION ON THE INTERNET. STOPPING, SHUTTING DOWN, AND RESTARTING WILL "FIX" THE PROBLEM FOR AN HOUR OR SO OR MAYBE EVEN A FEW DAYS UNTIL IT OCCURS AGAIN. AGAIN, THE SENSOR IS NOT BLOCKED. I CAN'T FIND A SAFETY RECALL OR TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM.

SAME ISSUE AS REPORT 11308430 - ACTIVATED REMOTE START WITH TRUCK IN DRIVEWAY; WHEN I CAME OUT TO DRIVE AWAY, THE REAR WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERED. THE CLIMATE SETTINGS ARE SET TO THE FACTORY DEFAULT FOR REMOTE START. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF THE DEFROSTER CONNECTION ISSUE MENTIONED BECAUSE THIS WAS A WARM SUMMER DAY AND THE DEFAULT SETTING INDICATES THAT THE DEFROSTER SHOULD NOT HAVE ENGAGED AND THE DEALERSHIP SAW NO EVIDENCE THAT IT DID. THE TRUCK IS CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED, BUT FORD CLAIMED THIS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE GLASS, WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS WARRANTY, THUS FORD WAS UNWILLING TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR COST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30-40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC RETRIEVED FAULT CODE: P0012 (INTAKE (A) CAMSHAFT POSITION TIMING -OVER- RETARDED (BANK 1). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED OR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT. I STARTED TO BACK UP AND FOUND I HAD NO BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK THEN RAN INTO THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING BEHIND THE TRUCK. THE BRAKES WERE CHECKED BY LIEUT. EDWARDS OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND HE FOUND IT THERE WERE NO BRAKES AND THERE WAS NO FLUID IN THE MASTER CYLINDER. I OBSERVED THAT THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR FOR THE FRONT BRAKES WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY AND THE RESERVOIR FOR THE REAR BRAKES HAD SLIGHTLY VISIBLE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. PRIOR TO THE EVENT THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD OR ANY OTHER WARNING THAT THE BRAKES WERE GOING TO FAIL. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO COMPLETELY TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN PUSHED. THE FORD F150 BUMPER WAS SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED AND THE PARKED CAR WAS SLIGHTLY DAMAGED. WE ARE NOW IN THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTH GEORGIA AND IF HAD WE BEEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD TO THE VALLEY WE POSSIBLY BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE. I REPORTED A PREVIOUS EVENT WITH THIS TRUCK TO YOU FOLKS LAST YEAR RELATING TO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT CONTROLS JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING ON THE TRUCK CAUSING A COMPLETE SHUTDOWN OF THE VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN ROAD AND FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME WAS TOWED AWAY FOR REPAIRS AS WE DID THIS TIME AFTER THE BRAKE FAILURE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE BREAK FLUID RESERVOIRS HAVE LEVEL INDICATORS THAT SHOULD GIVE SOME WARNING. THEY APPARENTLY ARE INOPERABLE.

FORD DEALERSHIP WILL NOT GIVE ME AN APPROXIMATE DATE WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE PARTS TO FIX THE DEFECTIVE BRAKES ON MY 2016, F-150. I PLAN ON TAKING A CROSS COUNTRY TRIP IN LATE SEPTEMBER AND DO NO FEEL SAFE DRINKING MY TRUCK.

PLASTIC COMPONENTS IN THE VISTA SUNROOF BREAK/BIND CAUSING SUNROOF TO STAY OPEN OR CLOSED, CAUSES THE SUNROOF NOT TO SEAL PROPERLY. FROM SEARCHING ONLINE SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT WAS NEVER RECALLED.

VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING BOTH FROM A STOP AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I SHUT OFF VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT WHICH SEEMED TO TEMPORARILY SOLVE THE PROBLEM ONLY TO HAVE IT REOCCUR DAYS LATER. ENGINE CODE REGISTERED ON THE DASH DISPLAY. CODE WAS RETRIEVED (P2112) WHICH CORRELATES TO A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. FORD HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS PROBLEM WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY REPLACEMENT, BUT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY, SO I WAS FORCED TO REPLACE IT MYSELF AND PAY FOR THE FAULTY PART. MY VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 36,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT. WHEN THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER IN TRAFFIC, IT IS DEFINITELY A LIFE, HEALTH, SAFETY ISSUE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS EXAMPLES THAT CAN BE FOUND ON THE INTERNET OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART/THROTTLE BODY ON VARIOUS FORD VEHICLES. I FEEL THAT FORD SHOULD INITIATE A RECALL FOR OBVIOUS SAFETY REASONS. FORD HAS PUT OUT VARIOUS TSB'S REGARDING THIS DOCUMENTED PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, A MESSAGE REGARDING A BRAKE SYSTEM ERROR WAS DISPLAYED. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKE WAS LESS RESPONSIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND FLUID HAD BEEN MISGUIDED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WAS ORDER FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND REPLACED AND THE FAILURE WAS REMEDIED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE SAME MODEL YEAR VEHICLE WAS LATER RECALLED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V332000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY ON 8/30/20, THE TRUCK EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF FORWARD MOTION, BEGAN "BUCKING" AND CODES AND WARNINGS STARTED APPEARING ON THE DASHBOARD. WERE ABLE INITIALLY TO COAST TO A SAFER LOCATION TO STOP. TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. TURNED THE TRUCK OFF, RESTARTED AND ALL CODES DISAPPEARED. HOWEVER, AS SOON AS WE STARTED AGAIN, WITHIN A QUARTER MILE, SAME FAILURE OCCURRED. IN 20 MILES, THIS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 6 MORE TIMES AND WE COULD NOT GET SAFELY OFF THE ROAD (NO SHOULDERS WITH DITCH ON SIDE) HAVING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, TURN ENGINE OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE WHILE IN THE TRAFFIC LANE. VERY UNSAFE AND WE WERE LUCKY NOT TO BE HIT BY PASSING VEHICLES. AFTER RESEARCHING WHAT THIS POSSIBLE COULD BE, FOUND IT LIKELY THAT IT WAS A FAILURE OF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY, WHICH WAS THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL IN PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS OF THIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ACTION #16B32 FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FOR OUR YEAR OF MANUFACTURE. (OUR TRUCK WAS MANUFACTURED IN DEARBORN DURING THE PERIOD THAT THIS ACTION WAS TO BE TAKEN 8/1/15 THROUGH 5/17/16.) MADE APPOINTMENT AT LOCAL DEALER AND OUR TRUCK WAS SERVICED YESTERDAY AT PITTSVILLE FORD IN PITTSVILLE MD AND THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FAILURE.

AFTER STARTING VEHICLE I HEARD NOISE AFTER TURNING STEERING WHEEL TO BACK UP. PROCEEDED TO GO ON ROAD AND THE STEERING WAS NOT ACTING RIGHT. LIKE I HAD LOST MY POWER STEERING. TRIED TO MAKE TURN AND HAD TO COMMENSATE TO MAKE TRUCK STAY IN THE RIGHT LANE. NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS GOING ON TRIED TO GO STRAIGHT AS POSSIBLE TO A REPAIR SHOP I USUALLY USE. IT APPEARED TURNING WAS A PROBLEM. PULLED INTO THEIR PARKING LOT TURNING WHEEL REAL SLOW. THEY SAID IT WAS THE ELECTRIC STEERING PART AND IT SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY. LEFT THERE MAKING AS FEW AND SLOW TURNS AS POSSIBLE TO NEAREST WARRANTY STATION ABOUT 5 MILES AWAY, BILL TALLEY FORD IN MECHANICSVILLE. NOT SURE WHEN I WOULD HAVE NO POWER STEERING I WAS SCARED TO DRIVE 15 MILES TO WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JAN., 2017, FROM SHEETY FORD. TALLEY FORD SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE WHOLE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING AS THERE WERE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THIS ITEM. I HAVE READ A LOT OF REPORTS AND REVIEWS AS FORD HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER MODELS AND HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. SAD I HAVE A TRUCK FOR LESS THAN 4 YEARS AND HAVING TO SPEND $2700,00 TO REPLACE A MAJOR PART THAT FORD KNOWS IS DEFECTIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE BRAKE FLUID LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL HOWEVER, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT DOWNSHIFTED AND SLOW THE VEHICLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AT A GAS STATION AND TOPPED OFF THE BRAKE FLUID. THE CONTACT THEN DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE HOME AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD AGAIN. THE CONTACT CHECKED THE LEVEL AND DISCOVERED THE BRAKE FLUID LEAKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER WITH THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER FLUID LEVEL COMPLETELY EMPTY. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER KEN GARFF ST. GEORGE FORD LINCOLN (145 W. HILTON DR, SAINT GEORGE, UT 84770, (888) 925-8899) WHO REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE NHTSA NUMBER: 20V332000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC).

AFTER DRIVING 30+ MIN WHEN BRINGING VEHICLE TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT OR PARKED, TRUCK ISLES DOWN TO 500RMP AND ROUGH IDEAL AND CHOKES LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL. THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY TO THIS. HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR 1.5 YEARS. HAVE BEEN OBSERVING FUEL LEVELS, AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, ENGINE TEMP AND THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY TO IT. THERE IS NEVER A CHECK ENGINE LIKE THAT COMES ON AND DEALER HAS DONE A HISTORY SEARCH AND THERE ARE NO CODES. MECHANICS ARE SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS. NO RECALLS, NO SERVICE ADVISORIES. DON'T WANT TO START TOSSING RANDOM PARTS INTO IT.

LOST POWER, VEHICLE STALLED OUT IN MIDDLE OF ROAD AT LOW SPEED. GOT 'WRENCH' ICON. INITIALLY DID NOT START UP AGAIN UNTIL AFTER A FEW MINUTES. WAS ABLE TO START AGAIN AND GET HOME. USED CODE READER, GOT P706 AND P707 CODES. CLEARED CODES, NO ISSUES FOR A COUPLE DAYS THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN, DOWNSHIFTS HARD AT LOW SPEED, THEN FROM A STOP AT RED LIGHT I HAVE NO FIRST GEAR. THEN IT DISAPPEARS AND IS SMOOTH AGAIN. THEN IT ALL HAPPENS AGAIN THE NEXT DAY BUT IS OVERALL UNPREDICTABLE AND UNSAFE.

MY BRAKES WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT AND I ALMOST CRASHED INTO OTHER CARS BECAUSE OF IT.. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE 20S31 ALREADY. ACCORDING TO THE FORD WEBSITE, THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER, THIS REPAIR WILL BE COMPLETED FREE OF CHARGE FOR MATERIAL AND LABOR. THE DEALERSHIP , PINNACLE FORD , IS TRYING TO CHARGE ME 1200.00 FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED WHAT IS COVERED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO REACH SOMEBODY AT FORD TO HANDLE THE SITUATION FOR 3 DAYS. I FINALLY REACHED SOMEBODY ON THE PHONE AND THEY SAID I NEEDED TO CALL BACK BECAUSE THE SYSTEM WAS DOWN. NOBODY SEEMS TO WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM.
