2016 Ford F-150 complaints

BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHEN DEPRESSED. BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE. LOW BRAKE FLUID ALARM SOUNDED. UPON SLOWING TO A STOP, THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS DEPLETED BUT NO FLUID WAS EVIDENT ON THE GROUND. THE BRAKE FLUID WAS REPLACED TO SPECIFICATIONS BUT WAS DEPLETED AGAIN WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND BRAKES WERE NOT RESTORED. AUTO TECHNICIAN DISCOVERED MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER WAS LEAKING INTERNALLY AND BRAKE BOOSTER WAS DAMAGED. NO PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH BRAKING SYSTEM WERE EVER OBSERVED AND DRIVING CONDITIONS DID NOT PUT EXCESS WEAR ON BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS ISSUE IS IDENTICAL TO ISSUES DESCRIBED IN FORD RECALL 20S31.

FORD HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER FAILING IN THESE TRUCKS. MINE HAS CLEARLY FAILED DUE TO THIS ISSUE, AND MY ENTIRE FAMILY WAS NEARLY KILLED ON THE INTERSTATE AS A RESULT. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY AGREE THAT THIS IS THE SAME MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER ISSUE THAT FORD HAS ACKNOWLEDGED AS A KNOWN ISSUE. BUT MAGICALLY MY TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED AS PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH ITS A 2016 FORD F-150 3.5 ECOBOOST BUILT IN KANSAS CITY. ALL THE PARAMETERS FOR THE RECALL SEEM TO MATCH MY VEHICLE PRECISELY BUT YET SOMEHOW IT MAGICALLY IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. FORD REFUSES TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND NOW I AM OUT $500 OUT OF MY OWN POCKET BECAUSE FORD REFUSES TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THIS KNOWN SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME. FORD SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES AND WITH HOW MANY NEW COMPLAINTS I SEE FILED HERE WEEKLY FOR THIS SAME ISSUE THE NHTSA SHOULD ALSO STEP UP AND FORCE FORD TO EXPAND THE RECALL BECAUSE CLEARLY NOT ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED AT THIS POINT. I CANNOT SAY IT ENOUGH, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. ME AND MY ENTIRE FAMILY WERE NEARLY KILLED AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE. IT IS APPALLING TO ME THAT FORD AND THE NHSTA HAVE NOT DONE MORE TO RECTIFY THIS VERY DANGEROUS AND DEADLY PROBLEM. NEXT STEPS I SEE IN THE NEAR FUTURE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST FORD FOR IGNORING THIS WELL KNOWN ISSUE. THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED AND FORD SHOULD TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY ARE REFUSING

WAS PARKED AT A GAS STATION AND WHEN I BACKED UP TO LEAVE MY WIFE AND I HEARD THIS THUMPING NOISE AND WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE THE STEERING BEGAN TO LOCK UP. WITH ALL MY POWER, IT WAS ALL I DO TO BARELY TURN THE WHEEL. I READ UP THAT SIMILAR RECALLS HAD BEEN MADE ON THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM WITH EARLIER TRUCKS AND IT ALL STEMS FROM A INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT ISSUE WHERE POORLY RIVETED SHAFTS ALL HAD THIS PROBLEM. HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 45,000 MILES ON IT. VIDEO OF CONSISTENT PROBLEM CAN BE FOUND AT HTTPS://WWW.BING.COM/VIDEOS/SEARCH?Q=YOUTUBE+FORD+STEERING+PROBLEMS&DOCID=608045636862545026&MID=507E75EF995E503B2084507E75EF995E503B2084&VIEW=DETAIL&FORM=VIRE

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ENGINE LOST COMPLETE POWER, BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART IT. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER. I CALLED THE FORD DEALER ON SATURDAY AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS PROBABLY A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. I WAS ABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT ON MONDAY, BUT THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN ABOUT 10 TIMES OVER THE WEEKEND. IN MY OPINION THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AS THIS ISSUE COULD OCCUR WHILE PASSING ON A NARROW TOW LANE ROAD, GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, CROSSING A RAILROAD TRACK, ETC.,. FROM AN INTERNET RESEARCH I I FOUND THAT FORD HAS ISSUED TSB 16-0139 ON OCTOBER 10, 2016 AND THERE WERE NUMEROUS COMMENTS FROM OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IN FACT THE MAINTENANCE MANAGER AT FORD TOLD ME THIS HAD HAPPENED TO HIM TWICE.

BRAKE FAILURE GOING DOWN A HILL, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. PUMPED THE BRAKES HOWEVER IT DID NOT HELP. NO WARNING ABOUT A BRAKE PROBLEM BEFORE IT HAPPENED. TRUCK ROLLED TO A STOP AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL ON FLAT TERRAIN. I WAS FORTUNATE NO OTHER VEHICLES OR PEDISTRAINS WERE ON THE HILL AT THIS TIME. VEHICLE IS AT FORD DEALER TRYING TO DETERMINE CAUSE OF BRAKE FAILURE. DATE OF FAILURE 7/28/2020.

CAN'T GET TBS INFO ON MY TRUCK. I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN SOME FOR FROZEN DOOR LOCKS, FROZEN WINDSHIELD WASHER LINES, FIRE HAZARD FOR SIDE IMPACT COLLISIONS BUT THE NHTSA SITE SAYS THERE ARE ZERO. HOW CAN CHECK AS A OWNER. THE MANUFACTURER PAGES ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE TO ME AS NO LOGIN OR PASSWORD FOR OWNERS TO REGISTER FOR. HELP:)

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 WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD WITH THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AUTONATION FORD ST. PETERSBURG (2525 34TH STREET NORTH, ST. PETERSBURG, FL 33713) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

RELATED TO TSB-16-0139. WHILE DRIVING: HILL START ASSIST UNAVAILABLE MESSAGE; SERVICE ADVANCETRAC MESSAGE. WRENCH ICON, TRACTION ICON, AND CHECK ENGINE ICON DISPLAYED. TRUCK WENT INTO LIMP MODE. ROUGH IDLE, WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODIES. WOULD NOT COVER UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY I BELIEVE THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON SOME F150S, BUT IT DIDN'T INCLUDE MY MONTH/YEAR OF MANUFACTURE, TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE.

VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND SITTING IN OUR HOME DRIVEWAY. BEFORE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, I SMELLED SMOKE AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM BEHIND THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND LOWERED THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT TO INVESTIGATE. THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE BOX IN THE LOWER LEFT CORNER OF THE BACK GLASS. SECONDS LATER, A LOUD EXPLOSION FROM THE BOX AND THE BACK GLASS SHATTERED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CENTER SLIDING PORTION.

COMPLETE, SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED BRAKE FAILURE. BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO WARNING. SO DANGEROUS.THIS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH TOWING MY TRAVEL TRAILER WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HIM STOPPED ABRUPTLY AND HIS BRAKES FAILED WHILE DEPRESSED WITHOUT WARNING. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED AT THE SCENE AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME FROM THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT. THE CONTACT INITIALLY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY REPAIRED THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, UPON A TEST DRIVE, THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKES REMAINED FAULTY. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A FAULTY MASTER CYLINDER. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT HIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN PLACED UNDER NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 20V332000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE ARE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED BILL BRANDT FORD (8100 BRENTWOOD BLVD, BRENTWOOD, CA 94513) WHERE THEY REFERRED HIM TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED HIM THAT THEY WOULD REIMBURSE HIM FOR THE REPAIR TO THE MASTER CYLINDER. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,000.

MY 2016 FORD F150 3.5L ECOBOOST DIDN'T HAVE ITS VIN TAGGED FOR THE LEAKING BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RECALL. REFERENCE 20S31. MY TRUCK WAS BUILT AT THE DEARBORN PLANT AND MATCHES EVERY SINGLE PARAMETER FOR THE RECALL. I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK DOWN A COLORADO HIGHWAY AT A HIGH ELEVATION. MY BRAKES STARTED SOFTENING AND FELT ALMOST NO PRESSURE IN THE PEDAL. MY BRAKE FLUID LOW WARNING CAME ON MY DASHBOARD ALONG WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A STORE TO PURCHASE BRAKE FLUID. WITHIN 5 MILES OF DRIVING AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK THE WARNINGS WENT OFF AGAIN MY BRAKES WEAKENED. IT WAS VERY TERRIFYING WITH HAVING MY PARTNER AND TWO DOGS IN THE CAR WITH ME. I SPOKE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY WON'T COVER THESE REPAIRS. THIS IS AFTER I MENTIONED MY LIFE BEING IN DANGER JUST TRYING TO GET TO WORK. I HAD THE TRUCK INSPECTED BY A CREDIBLE MECHANIC WHICH TOLD ME THAT THE ISSUE MATCHES THE RECALL DETAILS PERFECTLY. I BELIEVE NOW, THE BRAKE FLUID HAS LEAKED FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND IS NOW LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE. AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF THICK EXHAUST WAS BEING EXPELLED FROM THE TRUCK ON THE SECOND DAY OF NOTICING BRAKE FAILURE. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DANGER OR HARM THAT COMES TO ME SINCE THEY HAVE TURNED ME AWAY JUST BECAUSE OF MY VIN NOT MATCHING.

ON MY WAY TO WORK TOOK A LEFT TURN TO THE INTERSTATE ON RAMP AND STEERING TEMPORARILY LOCKED UP/STUCK IN THE TURNED POSITION FOR A SECOND OR TWO AND RETURNED TO NORMAL THE REST OF THE TRIP. AT LUNCHTIME OPERATION WAS PRETTY NORMAL EXCEPT FOR SLIGHT HANDLING DIFFICULTY. BACKING OUT AFTER WORK NOTICED A CREAKING/GROANING NOISE AS WELL AS A POPPING NOISE FELT THRU THE STEERING WHEEL. PULLED OUT ONTO HIGHWAY AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED STEERING JERKING (NOT PULLING, DRIFTING OR WANDERING) LEFT AND RIGHT WITH SLIGHT BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND/OR STEERING INPUT. PULLED OVER AT A GAS STATION, TURNED THE TRUCK OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND RESTARTED WITH NO CHANGE. SWITCHED OFF TRACTION CONTROL AND IT ACTUALLY DID IMPROVE SOME THE REST OF MY DRIVE HOME. GOT HOME, PARKED, TURNED IT OFF. 15 MINUTES LATER GOT IN WITH MY 6 YEAR OLD SON AND 15 YEAR OLD NIECE, PULLED OUT ONTO HIGHWAY AND STEERING TOTALLY LOCKED UP MID TURN. LUCKILY IT WAS LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND TRAFFIC WAS LOW AND WE WERE NOT COMPLETELY BLOCKING THE ROAD SO TRAFFIC COULD GO AROUND. WAS ABLE TO BACK ONTO SHOULDER AND CALL A TOW TRUCK. FORD DEALERSHIP FOUND PSCM NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. STEERING GEAR WAS REPLACED.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD ON DRIVER SIDE WARPED AND LEAKS CAUSING A SCREECHING SOUND ON ACCELERATION AND SLIGHT TICK ON START UP AND IDLE. *TR

THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO USE MY SUNROOF THE TRACK BROKE NOW MY WINDOW IS STUCK UP AND SUNROOF DOES NOT WORK. *TR

BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON RESULTING IN LOSS OF BRAKES WHILE DRIVING. AFTER SEEING LIGHT I WENT TO AUTO PARTS STORE TO PURCHASE BRAKE FLUID. I FILLED BRAKE FLUID TO AN ALMOST MAX LEVEL TO GET HOME. WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN A MILE HOME THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON ABOUT 1/4 MILE AND STARTED LOSING BRAKE FUNCTION. I ARRIVED HOME AND ADDED MORE FLUID TO THE VEHICLE WHILE PARKED AND IT IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO GO DOWN. THERE WERE NO VISIBLE BRAKE FLUID LEAKS ANYWHERE. UNDER FURTHER INVESTIGATION A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED TO TRUCKS MADE AT THE SAME TIME WITH THE SAME ISSUES. MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL SO FORD WON'T DOING ANYTHING WITH THIS OBVIOUS MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKS FLUID IN TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP CAUSING A LOSS OF BRAKING POWER. FORD RECALL CODE 20S31 AND THE PRESS RELEASE WAS ISSUED THIS MONTH. I COULD HAVE CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

PURCHASED TRUCK JULY 2016, IN DEC 15, 2018 AT 39,637 MILE THE ALTERNATOR FAILED. HAD TO HAVE NEW ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY CABLE INSTALLED AT THE COST OF $800.00 NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY OF BY FORD. ON JUNE 11, 2020 ALTERNATOR AGAIN FAILED AND HAS TO BE REPLACED, FORD SERVICE QUOTING COST OF REPAIR TO BE $1000.00 AGAIN NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY OR FORD. THESE F150 HAVE SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE THAT FORD IS NOT ADDRESSING AND COSTING CONSUMERS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. *TR

SON WAS DRIVING 2016 FORD F-150 TRUCK ON A 2 LANE ROAD, RIGHT OUT OF OUR SUBDIVISION. IT STARTED SHAKING AND STALLING, WOULDN'T ACCELERATE, BRAKES WENT STIFF, WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NUMEROUS SENSORS CAME ON. WAS VERY DANGEROUS. HAD TO COAST THE TRUCK BACK HOME. HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THROTTLE BODY WENT BAD. REPAIR WAS $575.00. THEY CLAIMED THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THERE WAS A FIELD SERVICE RECALL ON THIS MODEL TRUCK AND THIS PART A YEAR AFTER THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW WITH PREVIOUS OWNER. WE ARE THE SECOND OWNERS. KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS UNTIL NOW. WAS TOLD BY FORD THAT FIELD SERVICE RECALLS EXPIRE. PREVIOUS OWNER MAY HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM TO TAKE IT IN AND HAVE IT CHECKED. ONE OF THE OLD RECALL NUMBERS I RESEARCHED WAS 16B32, THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHERS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS LAWSUITS AGAINST FORD FOR THIS PART GOING BAD. CAN STALL OUT AT ANY TIME AND CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT. THIS TRUCK IS TOO NEW TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS. HAD A FULL 45,000 INSPECTION AT FORD A FEW MONTHS AGO. NOTHING WAS EVER MENTIONED ABOUT THIS OR CLEANING THIS. FORD IS SELLING VEHICLES WITH FAULTY PARTS THAT CAN CAUSE UNEXPECTED ACCIDENTS THAT CAN BE DEADLY. *TR

DROVE TRUCK TO AIRPORT ON 6/9, ALL WAS WELL. ON 6/14 WE RETURNED TO OUR TRUCK. UPON BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACE I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND HAD TO PRESS THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. HEARD A WARNING CHIME AND A DASHBOARD WARNING APPEARED STATING BRAKE FLUID WAS LOW. CHECKED BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WHICH WAS ALMOST EMPTY. LIMPED TO 7/11 WHILE MANUALLY DOWNSHIFTING AND ADDED TWO BOTTLES OF FLUID. BRAKE FUNCTIONALITY WAS RESTORED FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES AND THEN EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE AND WARNINGS AS BEFORE WHILE DRIVING 30MPH AND NOT APPLYING THE BRAKES TOO OFTEN. THIS ALL HAPPENED AFTER 11PM AND THE ROADS WERE EMPTY. ADDED MORE FLUID THIS MORNING AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I LEARNED ABOUT THE RECENT RECALL. SHOULD HAVE THE TRUCK BACK TOMORROW. VERY FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING FROM CA TO VA LAST MONTH. *TR

PANORAMIC SUNROOF 2ND REPAIR, 1ST AT 35,000 MILES TO REPLACE GUIDES UNDER WARRANTY, NOW AT 57,000 TRACKS AND GUIDE NEED TO BE REPLACED COST OF $4,000. THE SUNROOF DOES NOT OPERATE WHILE MOTIONLESS OR IN MOTION. *TR

BACKING OUT OF GARAGE AND BRAKES SUDDENLY WENT OUT, PEDAL TO FLOOR. WARNING LIGHTS OF LOW BRAKE FLUID. NO LEAK ANYWHERE AROUND VEHICLE. MASTER CYLINDER FAIL. TRUCK ONLY HAS 38000 MILES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AT 75 MPH WHEN THE "LOW BRAKE FLUID" LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I IMMEDIATELY EXITED AND WHILE BRAKING, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT NEARLY ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE BRAKE LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. I PULLED INTO AN AUTO PARTS STORE AND PURCHASED BRAKE FLUID. IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY 20 OUNCES TO FILL THE RESERVOIR. AFTER FILLING, THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF, BUT THE BRAKING PEDAL WAS STILL NOT FIRM. ONCE I GOT TO MY DESTINATION, I PARKED THE CAR FOR 3 HOURS AND WHEN I LEFT, THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I PUT ANOTHER 12 OUNCES OF BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR AND IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. AT NO TIME DID I OBSERVE ANY BRAKE FLUID ON THE GROUND. UPON INSPECTION, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED AND WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FAILURE AS THERE WAS NO WARNING PRIOR TO THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND THE LOSS OF BRAKES WAS IMMEDIATE. THE VEHICLE HAS 52,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

I WAS MERGING ONTO HIGHWAY 44 IN ST. LOUIS FROM LINDBERG BLVD. I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO ALLOW AN 18 WHEELER TO PASS. SUDDENLY THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH AND THE PARKING BRAKE. I STARTED LOSING PRESSURE ON MY BRAKE PEDDLE AS IT WENT ALMOST COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. I WAS PULLING A TRAILER AT THE TIME AND USED THE TRAILER BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP SAFELY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND MY BRAKE FLUID WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY EMPTY. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR INTO DOBBS AUTO THEY STATED THAT THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER LEAKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER CAUSING ALMOST COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING. THANKFULLY, I HAD THE TRAILER OTHERWISE THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I DON'T HAVE THE REPAIR INVOICE YET, BUT I WILL BE HAPPY TO FORWARD IT ONCE I PICK UP MY TRUCK. THANKS OF *TR

WITH NO PRIOR WARNING SYMPTOMS, I STARTED MY TRUCK THE MORNING OF MAY 23, 2020 AND SAW A BRAKE ALERT MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD. BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND (CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY) DROVE THE TRUCK THE 2 MILES TO THE DEALER. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED, LEAKING BRAKE FLUID INTO OTHER PARTS OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THEY DID NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS IN STOCK, SO I AM NOW AWAITING PARTS SHIPMENT BEFORE THEY CAN COMPLETE REPAIRS. I FEEL VERY FORTUNATE THIS HAPPENED NOW, AS MY WIFE AND I ARE SCHEDULED TO LEAVE ON VACATION IN 10 DAYS, PULLING OUR 9000 LB TRAVEL TRAILER ON AN EXTENDED HIGHWAY TRIP. HAD THIS SUDDEN BRAKE FAILURE OCCURRED ON THE ROAD WHILE PULLING AN RV, WE WOULD QUITE LIKELY NOT HAVE LIVED TO TELL THE TALE.*DT

I GOT IN MY TRUCK THIS MORNING 5/24/2020 CLOSED MY DRIVERS DOOR AND HEARD A LOUD POP LIKE A GUN SHOT. I LOOKED BACK AND MY REAR GLASS EXPLODED. GLASS WENT EVERYWHERE. THE TRUCK HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN ANYWHERE FOR 3 DAYS. THE TRUCK HAS 42000 MILES. THE TRUCK HAD 38 MILES WHEN I PURCHASED IT. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN IN 2018. I WENT AND GOT IN THE TRUCK AND STARTED IT. I HEARD A LOUD POP AND THE SLIDING GLASS IN THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED. THE TRUCK HAD UNDER 20000 MILES. FORD WOULD NOT COVER IT. I HAVE READ ARTICLES THAT STATE THE PROBLEM MAY BE THE DEFROSTER GETTING TO HOT AND SHATTERING THE GLASS. ALL I KNOW IS THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN TWO YEARS FOR THIS TRUCK. THE TRUCK WAS NOT MOVING EACH TIME. *TR

STARTED TRUCK UP ON 5/21 IN GARAGE AND NOTICED BRAKE LIGHT ON CONSOLE CAME ON INDICATING ISSUE. BRAKE PEDAL WHEN DEPRESSED WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. CHECKED FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS NEARLY EMPTY. I ADDED A BOTTLE OF DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID AND PUMPED BRAKES. IT SEEMED TO HOLD FOR A SMALL AMOUNT OF TIME. I CHECKED FLUID RESERVOIR AGAIN AND IT WAS NEARLY EMPTY AGAIN. I VISUALLY CHECK UNDER VEHICLE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A NOTICEABLE LEAK. NONE WAS NOTICED. *TR

STEERING WHEEL ON FORD F150 LOCKS UP AND USER IS UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL. IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, LIVES CAN TRULY BE AT RISK. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. *TR

DRIVING EASTBOUND ON I-10 AT 75 -80 MPH, ON A MOUNTAIN, SUDDENLY ADVANCTRAC FAULT WARNING AND ENGINE POWER LOST. VEHICLE ENTERED LIMP MODE. I WAS FORCED TO 'LIMP' ON THE SHOULDER TO REACH A SAFE AREA TO STOP WITH CELL SERVICE AND WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEMI TRAFFIC AT HIGH SPEEDS WERE BLOWING PAST VERY LITTLE SHOULDER SPACE TO NAVIGATE. AT EACH GUARD RAIL I WAS FORCED TO STOP - WAIT FOR A BREAK IN TRAFFIC- RESTART AND PRAY FOR ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GET AROUND THE AREA. I FINALLY LIMPED INTO WILCOX AZ AND CONTACTED FORD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED 74 MILES TO SMITH FORD IN LORDSBURG NM $280. FRA ADVISED THAT DUE TO COVID 19 NO PERSONAL TRANSPORTATION IS AVAILABLE. NO ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION IS AVAILABLE IN WILCOX AZ. SMITH FORD SERVICE DOES NOT OPEN UNTIL MONDAY. ANOTHER ROADSIDE SERVICE $205 PUT COMPUTER ON IT. CODE P2112 THROTTLE ACTUATOR 'A' CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK CLOSED. PYRAMID ROADSIDE SERVICE FOUND DAMAGED WIRING BEHIND ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND LOOSE PEDAL. I HAD TO WALK ALONE IN THE DESERT TO FIND A HOTEL. I EVENTUALLY WALKED ANOTHER 2 MILES PULLING A SUITCASE TO A GRAYHOUND STATION TO PHOENIX SUNDAY (274 MILES).I WILL CONTACT DEALER TOMORROW.FORD HAS BEEN AWARE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE ETB 2015 & 2016 F150. I PURCHASED MAY 5, 2019 AND WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. NO RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT. NOT ONLY COULD I HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED ON THE INTERSTATE,

TODAY DROVE TRUCK NORMALLY AROUND NEIGHBORHOOD. PARKED IT FOR MAYBE 3 MINUTES, UPON RESTART HAD LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING AND COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES. TESTED TO SEE IF LIGHT WAS ERROR, BUT TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKES. HAD TRUCK SERVICED AT LOCAL FORD DEALER JUST 134 MILES WHERE THEY INSPECTED ALL FLUIDS. INCIDENT OCCURRED ON LOCAL STREET. SEARCHED INTERNET AND NOTED SEVERAL SIMILAR OCCURRENCES FOR 2016 MODELS. THANKFUL I WAS MOVING AT SLOW SPEEDS. ATTACHED PHOTO OF PREVIOUS SERVICE RECORD AND INDICATOR LIGHT. I'LL HAVE TOWED TO FORD TOMORROW TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. NO INCIDENT OCCURRED BUT GIVEN EXPERIENCE OF OTHERS I THOUGHT IMPORTANT TO ADD DOCUMENTATION TO THIS TYPE OF FAILURE. *TR

MY 2016 F150 5.0 SUPERCREWHAS STARTED TO REGULARLY STALL WHEN IDLING IN PARK OR WHEN BRAKING OR COASTING WHEN COMING TO A INTERSECTION. I CAN IMMEDIATELY RESTART UPON PUTTING IN PARK OR NEUTRAL. SOMETIMES A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. UPON GOOGLING THE PROBLEM IT SEEMS PRETTY COMMON WITH NO ANSWERS OF CERTAINTY. *TR

MY BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDDLE, AFTER EXITING A BUSY STREET ONTO A COMMERCIAL DRIVEWAY. THE PEDDLE BOTTOMED-OUT AND I HAD VERY LITTLE BRAKING POWER. I WAS TRAVELING AT VERY LOW SPEED AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP BY ENGAGING THE PARK BRAKE. THE MASTER CYLINDER/RESERVOIR WAS NEAR DEPLETED. I WAS UNABLE TO FIND EVIDENCE OF BRAKE FLUID LEAK UNDER THE HOOD OR UNDER THE VEHICLE. I REFILLED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND OPERATED THE VEHICLE AT THE "OFF-STREET" LOT WHERE THE MALFUNCTION OCCURRED. AFTER SEVERAL APPLICATIONS OF THE BRAKES, THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS LOW AGAIN. I REFILLED IT AND DROVE HOME (NEAR BY). AGAIN, I HAD TO ENGAGE THE PARK BRAKE IN ORDER TO COME TO A STOP IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS NEAR EMPTY AND AGAIN I WAS UNABLE TO FIND A LEAK. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP (HTTPS://WWW.SOUTHWAYFORD.COM/). I'M AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC RESULT. UNTIL NOW, I WAS UNAWARE OF THE ISSUES (2013 F 150 & 2014 F 150 RECALL; CURRENT INVESTIGATIONS FOR YEARS 2015 - 2018) SURROUNDING THIS PROBLEM. MEANWHILE, I HAVE TO PAY FOR RELATED EXPENSES (TOWING, DIAGNOSTICS, PARTS AND REPAIR).

DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG COVER SPLIT OPEN EXPOSING THE AIRBAG. THIS WAS NOT THE RESULT OF A COLLISION. APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY COVER.

27 APRIL 2020 - ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AT SPEED MULTIPLE TIMES, NO ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS ON ONLY "ORANGE WRENCH" INDICATING 4X4 PROBLEM (PER THE MANUAL). VEHICLE WOULD RESTART ONE FIRST COUPLE OF OCCASIONS, WOULD NOT RESTART SUBSEQUENTLY, CRANKING TIMEOUT OCCURRED. WAITED ABOUT 15 MINUTES, VEHICLE RESTARTED AND LEFT IN PARK RUNNING WHILE WAITING FOR TOW TRUCK. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO MUZI FORD IN NEEDHAM MA FOR EVALUATION. CURRENT DATE IS 28 APRIL 2020. THIS EVENT COULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. WEATHER - RAIN ABOUT 45F, MORNING AROUND 8-9AM

THE LOCKS ON MY TRUCK FROZE IN WINTER AND AS MY WIFE WAS GOIN DOWN INTERSTATE THE DOOR CAME OPEN AND I'VE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I GOT IT ND THEY REFUSE TA FIX MY RECALLS AND TOLD ME IT WOULD BE 4 DAYS WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND I'M ACTIVE MILITARY AND CAN NOT GO WITHOUT A VEHICLE THEY OFFERED NO CAR TA ME AND WE'RE RUDE AND NOT WILLING TA SHOW ME WHICH OF THE 10 RECALLS ON MY TRUCK IF ANY HAD BEEN FIXED . I JUST BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN 2019 AND AM HAVING NUTHIN BUT ISSUES AND I BELIEVE IT TA BE A LEMON AND THE DEALER IS OF NO HELP.

REMOTE STARTED MY 2016 F150, TRUCK RAN NO MORE THAN 5 MIN. I WAS ABOUT TEN FEET AWAY WALKING TOWARD THE VEHICLE, I HEARD A LOUD BANG LIKE A GUN SHOT, STARTING LOOKING AROUND AND FOUND MY REAR SLIDER WINDOW SHATTERED. I NEVER USE THE REAR WINDOW DEFROST FUNCTION. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS I FOUND OUT WHEN YOU REMOTE START THIS VEHICLE IT TURNS THE DEFROST ON. I HAVE HAD A VEHICLES WITH REAR WINDOW DEFROST, NEVER HAD ONE DO THIS. IT WAS PRETTY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. THANKFUL MY GRANDCHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE REAR SEAT AT THE TIME. ( VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY ) THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE REAR WINDOWS ON THESE TRUCKS.

DIVER'S SIDE FRONT TIRE WHEN FLAT. I WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE LUG NUT WITH THE SUPPLIED LUG WRENCH. THE 2-PART LUGS HAD SWELLED MAKING THE LUG WRENCH UNUSABLE. WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE LUGS WITH A PERSONAL TOOL SET IN THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. WENT TO A FORD DEALER AND WAS ADVISED TO CHANGE MY LUG NUTS TO A SOLID AFTERMARKET LUG. DEALER SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT CAN LEAVE PEOPLE STRANDED.

DOOR LATCH STUCK OPEN AFTER OPENING AND UNABLE TO GET TO RESET SO DOOR WOULD STAY CLOSED. VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL TEMPERATUES OUTSIDE WENT UP ABOVE FREEZING. VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY AND REMOTE START WAS USED TO START/WARM VEHICLE PRIOR TO TRYING TO LEAVE FOR WORK. HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES THIS WINTER, BUT ONLY RECORDING ONE DATE BELOW DUE TO LIMITATION IN ONLINE REPORTING SYSTEM. WHEN LOOKING UP THIS PROBLEM FOUND VEHICLES HAVE BEEN ISSUED RECALL FOR REPAIR, BUT MY VEHICLE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE.

AS I WAS TRAVELLING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, A LOW BRAKE FLUID NOTIFICATION APPEARED ON MY DISPLAY. ADDITIONALLY I SAW THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I STOPPED AND OPENED THE HOOD TO VERIFY THE EMPTY BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR . ONCE VERIFIED I REFILLED BY PURCHASING A 32 OZ BOTTLE OF DOT4 BRAKE FLUID. ONCE REFILLED WITH ALMOST THE WHOLE BOTTLE, THE BRAKE PRESSURE MOMENTARILY RETURNED. HOWEVER UPON RETURNING TO THE HIGHWAY, I FELT THE BRAKE PRESSURE GO AWAY AGAIN AND THE LOW FLUID LIGHT RE-LIT WITHIN 10 MINUTES. I THEN WENT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP ABOUT ANOTHER 10 MILES AWAY. THERE WAS VERY LITTLE BRAKE PRESSURE THE WHOLE WAY. I ONLY HAD ABOUT AN INCH OF PLAY AND HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES SEVERAL SECONDS (5-10) EARLIER THAN NORMAL. THE FORD DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AND REPORTED THE FOLLOWING "TECH CHECK ON CUSTOMER CONCERN, BRAKE FLUID RESERVOR EMPTY, PUT VEHICLE ON HOIST CHECK FOR EXTERNAL LEAKS , NO EXTERNAL LEAKS , REMOVE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND FOUND ALL BRAKE FLUID LEAK INTO BRAKE BOOSTER, BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING INTO BRAKE BOOSTER, NEED TO REPLACE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER, AND BRAKE BOOSTER THAT IS CONTAMINATED WITH BRAKE FLUID"

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SLOWLY DECELERATED WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT PULLED INTO THE RESIDENCE AND THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE CONTACT DROVE 10 MPH TO EARNHARDT FORD (7300 W ORCHID LN, CHANDLER, AZ 85226), TO BE DIAGNOSED.

REAR SEAT FRAME, DRIVER'S SIDE, WHERE THE STRUT ATTACHES TO FRAME BROKE OFF. FEEL SEAT IS NOW UNSTABLE. HAVE PHOTOS.

I AM ON THE PARKWAY LOW FLUID BRAKES LIGHT COMES ON, I CLICK OK IT GOES OFF THE BRAKE LIGHT IS ON . 1/4 MILE I GET OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT AND HAVE NO BRAKES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I PUSH THE PARKING/ EMERGENCE BRAKE . I SLOW DOWN TO THE LIGHT. TURN ON THE STREET GO TO 1 MILE AWAY USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. CHECK FLUID IT IS LOW? PURCHASE FLUID FILL SND PUMP BRAKES GET PEDAL. DRIVE ABOUT 1 MILE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON NO BRAKES PULL OVER FLUID IS GONE AGAIN NO LEAKS WHEELS ANYWHERE, GOING INTO MOTOR I GUESS AND BURNING OUT THE EXAUST. SMOKING. FOR DEALER HAS HERE IN SAVANNAH. I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. NOT MUCH WARNING 20 SECONDS TO THE RAMP THEN NO BRAKES? ANY INFORMATION WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

SUDDEN WARNING INDICATOR WITH "LOW BRAKE FLUID" FOLLOWED BY LOSS IN BRAKE PRESSURE. USED E-BRAKE TO STOP. NO VISIBLE LEAKS AT MASTER CYLINDER OR ANY OF THE 4 CALIPERS. REFILLED FLUID AND DROVE TO A BRAKE SHOP. DIAGNOSED AS MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING INTO BRAKE PRESSURE BOOSTER. REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER, FLUID BLEED/FLUSH.

MY TAILGATE OPENS BY ITSELF. DOES NOT MATTER IF I'M DRIVING IN PARK. MULTIPLE TIMES, IT HAS OPENED WHILE DRIVING DONE THE ROAD OR ON THE HIGHWAY. IT FIRST STARTED WHILE JUST SITTING IN THE GARAGE OR DRIVEWAY. I WOULD COME OUT AND FIND IT DOWN. ITS NOT A KEY FOB ISSUE AS I BELIEVE THE TAILGATE SHOULD NOT GO DOWN REGARDLESS IF YOUR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH THE WARNING MESSAGES AND ALARM ACTIVATED INDICATING A FAILURE IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES LATER THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOOR WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKING DISTANCE TO BE EXTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FIESTA FORD LOCATED AT (78990 VARNER RD, INDIO CA.) WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKED AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT DISENGAGE. DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AND WHEN I PUT FOOT ON BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN, CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT STOP AND ACCELERATOR BEGINS TO SPEED UP.

WHILE DRIVING ON STEEP DECLINE ON ICY PACKED SNOW UNPACKED MOUNTAIN ROAD IN 4X4 LOW IN MANUAL 1ST GEAR WITH HILL DESCENT ASSIST ENGAGED, THE TRUCK STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. (APPARENTLY ONE CANNOT RESTART THE F150 EVEN IN NEUTRAL IF THY TRUCK IS MOVING. HAVE TO COME TO COMPLETE STOP AND SHIFT BACK TO PARK TO BE ABLE TO RESTART ENGINE. VERY DANGEROUS DESIGN! IF TRUCK STALLS WHILE MOVING THE DRIVER BECOMES A SITTING PASSENGER UNTIL CAN BRING TRUCK TO STOP TO RESTART IT.) THE TRUCK THEN STARTED SLIDING OUT OF CONTROL ON THE ICY PACKED SNOW COVERED STEEP MOUNTAIN GRAVEL ROAD BECAUSE I COULD NOT USE THE STALLED ENGINE TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN. ENDED UP SLIDING OFF THE DROP OFF EDGE OF THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK ALMOST ROLLED OVER. VERY CLOSE TO DEADLY SITUATION. AFTER TOW TRUCK GOT THE F150 BACK ON THE ROAD I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE F150 SAFELY DOWN REST OF ICY ROAD WITHOUT HILL DESCENT ASSIST.

WHEN I GOT OFF WORK GOT INTO MY VEHICLE AFTER A RAINY DAY WATER POURED OUT FROM MY CONTROL PANEL ON THE CEILING OF MY TRUCK. THIS THE SECOND TIME IT'S DONE IT. WATER COMES OUT OF THE BUTTONS USED TO CONTROL THE REAR WINDOW BUTTON ALSO FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE HANDLE USED TO HELP UPON ENTRY TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY FOR 10 HOURS AND RAIN WAS HAPPENING ALL DAY. WHEN I GOT IN MY VEHICLE THE INTERIOR WAS DRY BUT AS SOON AS I TURNED RIGHT WATER BEGAN TO POUR FROM THE CONTROL PANEL ON THE CEILING.

I HAVE A 2016 F150 LARIAT. WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION MY REAR BLINDSPOT SPOT MODUALE KEEPS SHOWING ON MY DASH COVERING MY SPERDOMETER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I LOSE MY HEAT, AIRBAGS, GPS, FRONT POWER WINDOWS, POWER MIRRORS AND POWER SEATS. I'VE BEEN CHECKING ONLINE OF THIS PROBLEM AND SOUNDS QUITE COMMON. THIS WAS HAPPENING ABOUT 3 TIMES A DAY FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AND NOW IT STAYS TO WHERE ITS CONSTANT. SEEING THIS IS ON GOING WITH THESE VEHICLES I THINK THE DEALERSHIPS SHOULD BE RELIABLE TO FIX THIS EXPENSIVE ONGOING PROBLEM. THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN UTICA, NY WANTS 1500.00 DOLLARS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.
