I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUT OFF I MANAGED TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GOT IT STARTED AGAIN. IT DID IT AGAIN DOWN THE ROAD. I MADE IT TO WORK HOPING THAT IT WAS JUST A GLITCH. IT DID IT AGAIN ON MY WAY HOME NEARLY CAUSING A COLLISION, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE TRUCK STATED UP AGAIN. IT DID IT SEVERAL TIMES AND IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE I HAVE MY FAMILY IN MY VEHICLE MOST OF THE TIME. I DID FURTHER RESEARCH AND SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAS HAD THE SAME ISSUE. MY QUESTION IS WHY FORD HAS NOT ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. IS EVERYONE WAITING FOR IT TO BE A FATALITY OR SOMEONE END UP SERIOUSLY INJURED. SOMEONE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. THOUSANDS OF DRIVES SAFETY IS AT RISK BECAUSE OF THIS

DRIVING ON A BYPASS HIGHWAY, THE BRAKES FAILED, AND I ALMOST REAR ENDED SOMEONE. LIGHT CAME ON, ADDED FLUID, THEN AGAIN THEY FAILED. I HAVE THE VEHICLE AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP NOW. I HAVE JUST OVER 40K MILES ON THE TRUCK, THIS REPAIR BETTER BE COVERED BY FORD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SEAT BELTS FAILED TO RETRACT PROPERLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT SEIZED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE SEVERITY OF TIGHTNESS AROUND THE BODY, SPECIFICALLY THE NECKS OF THE PASSENGERS. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT BELT EXPERIENCED THE SAME DEGREE OF SEVERITY ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. FURTHERMORE, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT AND CAUSED MORE THAN ONE OCCUPANT TO EXPERIENCE THE FEELING OF BEING CHOKED BY THE REAR SEAT BELT RETRACTING MECHANISM. VAUGHN FORD LINCOLN OAKDALE (835 US-165, OAKDALE, LOUISIANA 71463, (318) 335-0710) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, THERE WAS A TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKE POWER AND THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER (GREENWAY FORD, 9001 E COLONIAL DR, ORLANDO, FL 32817, (407) 544-5252) WAS CONTACTED, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: RQ16001 (SERVICE BRAKES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, A WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATED ON THE CLUSTER "BRAKE FLUID LOW". CONCERNED, I CHECKED THE BRAKING FUNCTION A FEW TIMES SLOWING FROM MY CRUISING SPEED OF 78 MPH TO AROUND 55 MPH TO TEST THE BRAKING FUNCTION, AND ALL SEEMED WELL. I DECIDED TO CONTINUE THE REMAINING 15 MINUTES OF MY TRIP SINCE THE BRAKES SEEMED TO BE FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY AND THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC, AS IT WAS 4:30AM ON A SUNDAY MORNING, BUT I PROCEEDED WITH CAUTION. WHEN EXITING THE FREEWAY, I DECIDED TO BRAKE EARLY IN THE EVENT THERE WAS A PROBLEM, BUT AGAIN THE BRAKING FELT ABSOLUTELY NORMAL, NOT EVEN THE SLIGHTEST HINT OF ANY BRAKE LOSS. I THEN TRAVELED ABOUT 11 MILES WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET TO 65 MPH, THERE WAS NO NEED FOR STOPPING OR SLOWING AT ANY POINT DURING THIS STRETCH. NEARING MY TURN, I AGAIN DECIDED IT WOULD BE BEST TO REMAIN CAUTIOUS AND BRAKE EARLY. IT WAS AT THIS POINT THAT I COULD TELL SOMETHING WAS WRONG, AS THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD VERY LITTLE STOPPING POWER AS I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR, ONLY SLOWING FROM 65 MPH TO ABOUT 25 MPH OVER A DISTANCE APPROACHING A QUARTER MILE. AFTER THIS, THE BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY OUT AT THIS POINT. I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH MOVING TRUCKS WITH NO BRAKES, USING ONLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, SO I FELT CONFIDENT CONTINUING THE SHORT DISTANCE TO MY HOME USING SLOW SPEEDS (>15 MPH), MANUALLY SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION FOR ENGINE BRAKING AND USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME WITH NO INCIDENT. INSPECTED BRAKE F

I'VE HAD THE TRUCK UNRESPONSIVE TO ACCELERATION TWICE WITH ADVANCETRAC WARNINGS AND HILL DESCENT WARNINGS. EACH TIME I WAS ABLE TO GET THE GOING AGAIN BY STOPPING THE TRUCK, PUTTING IN PARK, TURNING OFF THE IGNITION, AND THEN RESTARTING. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE A TWO YEAR OLD TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES. THE TRUCK IS AT THE DEALER FOR A WEEK NOW AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING, ONCE ON A STREET AND ONCE IN A PARKING LOT, AND BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS TURNING.

AFTER USING MY WINSHIELD WIPER ON 09/04/2018 THEY DO NOT TURN OFF. ANY TIME THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE ENGAGED, WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY, THEY FAIL TO PROPERLY TURN OFF AFTER USE AND CONTINUE TO STAY ON FOR AN UNKNOWN PERIOD OF TIME OR UNTIL VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, WHERE THEY CONTINUE ONCE THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED.

FORD HAS FAILED TO NOTIFY ME ABOUT SAFETY RELATED RECALLS. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE IN TO SAWGRASS FORD SUNRISE FLORIDA FOR OIL CHANGE SERVICE MANY TIME AFTER THE KNOWN RECALL DATES. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

EXTREME WIND NOISE COMING FROM DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE CONTACT SMELLED AN UNUSUAL BURNING ODOR. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS ACTIVATED AT THE TIME THE WINDOW FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HENDERSON GLASS AND THE GLASS WAS REPLACED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR WILL FAIL TO LATCH PROPERLY OR WILL POP OPEN WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN JANUARY 2018.

COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING EXCEPT FOR A PERIOD OF SECONDS DURING WHICH "LOW BRAKE FLUID" WARNING LIGHT APPEARED. VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY AT ALL TIMES PRIOR TO EVENT. 38,111 MILES ON VEHICLE. APPROX. 4 MILE DRIVE TO HIGHWAY, BRAKES WORKING NORMALLY. WHILE TRAVELING 70MPH (THE LEGAL LIMIT THERE), WARNING LIGHT APPEARED. I IMMEDIATELY TAPPED BRAKES AND FOUND THAT PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. MANAGED TO GET TO SHOULDER WITHOUT ACCIDENT. DROVE GINGERLY TO SERVICE STATION TO EXAMINE. NO LEAKAGE AT CALIPERS, ON ROTORS OR FROM ANY BRAKE LINES. BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR EMPTY. HAD BEEN FULL PREVIOUSLY AND VEHICLE WELL MAINTAINED. I FILLED RESERVOIR WITH DOT APPROPRIATE BRAKE FLUID, NO CHANGE IN BRAKING ABILITY. WITH PUMPING OF PEDAL, NO EFFECT. WITH PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR, VEHICLE EXHIBITED EXTREMELY ATTENUATED BRAKING (TOOK WELL OVER 30 FEET TO SLOW FROM 10 MPH TO ZERO). TRUCK TO FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT/BAY. THEY TOLD ME THAT "WE SEE ONE OF THESE ABOUT EVERY WEEK" WHICH I FOUND SHOCKING. THEY RAPIDLY DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS MASTER CYLINDER FAILURE WITH BLEED OF FLUID INTO BOOSTER SYSTEM (WHICH IS WHY NO PRESSURE, BUT NO LEAKAGE OF FLUID EXTERNALLY). THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BOOSTER. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. FORTUNATELY, I DID NOT INJURE OR KILL ANYONE WHEN BRAKES FAILED AT HIGHWAY SPEED.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN. THE OTHER VEHICLE SPUN AROUND AND CRASHED INTO A THIRD VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND TOWED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DEALER (MARK MCLARTY FORD, 4400 LANDERS RD, NORTH LITTLE ROCK, AR 72117, (501) 945-1200) WAS CONTACTED AND SUGGESTED CALLING THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE AIR BAG FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

'TAKATA RECALL' I WAS REAR ENDED BY A VEHICLE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 45 MPH THAT VEHICLE GOT TOTALED THE WHOLE FRONT END WAS DESTROYED CAR HAD TO BE TOWED BUT MY F150 DID NOT DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS AT SUCH A VIOLENT COLLISION???

BEING THE DRIVER OF A 2016 F-150 CREW CAB 4X4 WITH 3.5 ECO BOOST MOTOR. I HAVE BEEN NOW BEEN INVOLVED IN TWO BRAKE FAILURE RELATED COLLISIONS. ONE ON JUNE 20, 2017 AND THE OTHER THIS YEAR ON JULY 3RD. THE FIRST BRAKE RELATED COLLISION WAS ON JUNE 20TH, 2017. I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT BEHIND SOME OTHER CARS WAITING ON LIGHT TO CHANGE. NEXT THING I KNOW I FEEL A SLIGHT BUMP HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SO I GO TO HIT THE BRAKE AGAIN AND INADVERTENTLY HIT THE ACCELERATOR ENDING UP PUSHING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT. WHICH CAUSED A 3 VEHICLE ACCIDENT THAT DAY. NOW THIS JULY 3RD I WAS INVOLVED IN A MUCH SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE. I WAS DRIVING IN FAR LEFT LANE APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT THAT WAS RED AND CARS IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED AHEAD. I WENT TO HIT MY BRAKES TO STOP AND THE TRUCK KEPT ON GET GOING IN A FORWARD MOTION WITHOUT ANY INDICATION THE BRAKES WERE WORKING. I TRIED TO DIRECT TRUCK TO THE LEFT SIDE MEDIAN TO AVOID A COLLISION AND WHILE IN FORWARD MOTION I MADE IMPACT WITH THE CAR IN MIDDLE PUSHING IT INTO THE FIRST CAR UP FRONT THAT WAS INVOLVED IN MY SECOND ACCIDENT. MY TRUCK'S MIDDLE AND RIGHT FRONT MADE CONTACT WITH CAR IN FRONT OF ME HARD ENOUGH TO PUNCTURE GAS TANK ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THAT CAR WITH MY FRONT MOUNTED TRAILER HITCH AND PUSH IT INTO THE 1ST CAR'S REAR END. MY DRIVERS SIDE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG DEPLOYED HITTING ME IN THE STOMACH AREA AND SEAT BELT FASTER ON DRIVERS SIDE BRUISED MY RIGHT HIP, AND NECK ENDED UP

DRIVING ON HWY AT 70 MPH USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ALL OF A SUDDEN IT APPLIED THE BRAKES. FEW DAYS LATER IT DID AGAIN ON HWY NOTHING AROUND ME. STOPPED USING IT AFTER SECOND TIME. LUCKY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME. THEN AFTER I GOT TO MY DISINATION THE NEXT MORNING STATER MY TRUCK FIRST I NOTICED NO POWER TO THE FRONT DRIVER & PASSANGER WINDOWS THEN NO A/C / CLIMATE CONTROL, NO MIRROR CONTROL SO STARTED DRIVING IT THEN NOTICED TIRE WARNING LIGHT ON BUT WOULDN'T SHOW THE TIRE PRESSURES LOOKED AT TIRES AND LOOKED LIKE THEY WHERE FINE. WHEN LEAVING STORE WAS BACKING UP AND ALMOST HIT A CAR MY WARNING SENSOR DIDN'T GO OFF NOW I NOTICED THAT ALL OF MY SAFETY DEVICES ON THIS TRUCK WAS NOT WORKING. NOW I'M WONDERING IF MY AIRBAGS ARE ACTIVE. DROVE BACK HOME FROM VIRGINIA TO TENNESSEE ABOUT 6 HR DRIVE VERY CARFULY. NEXT DAY STRAIGHT TO FORD DEALER AND IS STILL THERE AS I'M WRITING THIS. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. DID NOTICE ON THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2015 MODELS BUT DIDN'T SEE ANY ON THE 2016.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE STALLING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND RESTART THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DUVALL CHEVROLET (464 US-441, CLAYTON, GA 30525, (877) 818-7723) TO BE DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT HE WAS NOT PROVIDED WITH THE RESULTS OF THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

100% BRAKE FAILURE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. FORD RECALLED PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT FAILED TO INFORM OWNERS OF LATER YEARS THAT HAD THE SAME PARTS INSTALLED. MY TRUCK WAS SERVICED AT THE FORD DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM 100 MILES BEFORE FAILURE. FORD SHOULD BE URGED TO RECALL AND REIMBURSE.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK STRONG ELEC SMELL AND REAR WINDOW EXPLODED SOUNDED LIKE GUN WENT OFF SHATTERING WINDOW

HORN NOT WORKING. I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2016 FORD F-150 IN 2016. I AM THE FIRST AND ONLY OWNER AND I NOTICED 2 DAYS AGO MY HORN ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING WHEN I PRESS ON THE HORN BUT IT WILL SOUND WHEN I HIT MY ALARM BUTTON ON MY KEY FOB. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS, I CHECKED ALL THE FUSES AND THEY ARE WORKING AND HAVE A CURRENT RUNNING THROUGH THEM. AFTER SOME RESEARCH (WITHIN GOOGLE AND F-150 FORUMS) A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS AND HAVING TO REPLACE THEIR CLOCK SPRINGS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND UNOCCUPIED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. WHILE THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS STILL IN THE PARK POSITION, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE CONTACT'S BOAT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO MOVE OUT OF PARK. THE CONTACT POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND IT OPERATED NORMALLY. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

I DROVE MY TRUCK TO MY FARM WITHOUT INCIDENT. AFTER BEING PARKED FOR A WHILE, MY SON-IN-LAW GOT IN TO DRIVE TO A WORK AREA AND IMMEDIATELY REPORTED THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. WE CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS ALMOST EMPTY, EVEN THOUGH I HAD RECENTLY HAD THE LEVEL CHECKED AS "FULL" AT A CHANGE OF OIL AND FILTER. IT TOOK TWO LARGE BOTTLES OF BRAKE FLUID (AT OVER $8.00 EACH, JUST TO GET IT HOME (ABOUT 50 MILES). I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES DURING THIS TRIP TO GET BRAKING ACTION AND DRIVE VERY CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY. THE DAY BEFORE THIS HAPPENED I HAD TOWED A SINGLE AXLE TRAILER WITH AN AGRICULTURAL DISC ON IT. HAD THIS QUICK LOSS OF BRAKES OCCURRED AT THAT TIME, IT LIKELY WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND EVEN DEATH. THE SHOP WHERE I TOOK IT REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, THE POWER BOOSTER, WHICH HAD FILLED WITH FLUID, AND AN O2 SENSOR, WHICH HAD BEEN DAMAGED. THE TOTAL COST WAS $1194.34. SINCE ALL THE PARTS WERE REPLACED WITH NEW FORD BRAND PARTS, THERE IS A LIKELIHOOD THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND MERITS A RECALL, AS WELL AS REIMBURSEMENT TO ME OF MY EXPENSES.

IN ABOUT JANUARY OF 2017, WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, MY TRUCK STARTED EXPERIENCING IRREGULAR FUNCTION OF THE SYNC III SYSTEM. IN ABOUT MARCH OF 2017 THE SYSTEM STOPPED FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AT ANY TIME. AT THAT TIME IT HAD ABOUT 37,000 MILES ON IT. BY THE TIME I COULD GET IT TO THE FORD DEALER IT HAD ABOUT 39,000 MILES. FORD DENIED ANY OBLIGATION TO REPAIR. SOME OF THE MAJOR REASONS I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WERE TO ABILITIES OF THE SYNC III SYSTEM SUCH AS: (1) THE GPS MAP SYSTEM AND THE ABILITY TO INPUT DESTINATIONS AND RECEIVE DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS, (2) THE HANDS FREE BLUE TOOTH TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS, (3) THE BACKUP CAMERA, AND THE TOUCH SCREEN MENU. ALL OF THESE WERE IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURES. NONE OF THEM WORK AND FORD WANTED $1,500.00 TO REPLACE THE "APIM" MODULE, WHICH PURPORTEDLY WOULD MAKE IT WORK AGAIN. IN ADDITION, WHILE BACKING IN TO A PARKING PLACE, IN ABOUT NOVEMBER OF 2017, I COULD NOT SEE A POLE SET IN CONCRETE BECAUSE OF MALFUNCTION OF THE CAMERA, AND BACKED INTO IT, DAMAGING MY BUMPER TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $1,200.00 REPLACEMENT COST. WORSE YET, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A CHILD OR OTHER PERSON. OCCASIONALLY THE BACKUP CAMERA WORKS, BUT STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET.

TOWING A 4000 LB. TRAVEL TRAIL FROM COLORADO TO CALIFORNIA , EVERY TIME AFTER ABOUT 3 HOURS OF DRIVING 65-75 MILES PER HOUR I GET OFF THE HIGHWAY TO FUEL OR WHATEVER ELSE GET TO THE OFFRAMP TRUCK DIES ! IT WILL TURN OVER AND START SOMETIMES RIGHT AWAY THEN OTHER TIMES YOU HAVE TO TURN IT OVER HOPE IT STARTS REV THE MOTOR DROP IT INTO DRIVE FAST AND GO !NOT SAFE AT ALL COMING OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS HAVING YOUR MOTOR DIE ! THERE ARE MANY FORUMS ON LINE WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2.7 ECOBOOST

I AM EMAILING YOU TO BOTH ALERT YOU OF A SITUATION AND ASK THAT YOU REACH OUT TO MY FATHER REGARDING WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM THIS MORNING. HE OWNS A 2016 OR 2017 F-150 WITH THE 3.5 ECO-BOOST. THIS MORNING AS HE WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 50 ' 60 MPH SOUTH ON HWY 111 IN COMING INTO LIVINGSTON TN. HE LET OF THE GAS PREPARING TO VEER RIGHT ON THE 111 BYPASS, HIS BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES HIS FOOT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE WAS ABSOLUTELY ZERO THERE FOR HIM TO STOP THE TRUCK. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 6 AM AND THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE ROAD AND IT WAS IN A PLACE THAT HE HAD ROOM AND TIME TO SHIFT DOWN AND DECREASE HIS SPEED AND PULL OVER. ONE MILE FURTHER AND THIS COULD HAVE HAD A VERY DIFFERENT ENDING. HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO PICK UP A BOAT.. SO THIS WAS THREE HOURS LATER THIS COULD HAVE HAD AN EXTREMELY DIFFERENT ENDING. DID I MENTION HE 81 YEARS OLD. THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO WARNING, THE LIGHT CAME ON JUST AS HE WAS GETTING READY TO MAKE HIS TURN. THIS COULD HAVE TURNED OUT VERY BAD.

WHILE DRIVING TRUCK LOSES POWER AND THE HILSIDE ASSIST ERROR COMES ON. YOU CAN'T PRESS THE GAS TO GO YOU HAVE TO COAST AND PULL OVER AND TURN THE TRUCK ON AN OFF FOR IT TO START AND WORK AGAIN. HAPPENS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS. I AM TOLD IT IS A BAD THROTTLE BODY

COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE WITH NO WARNINGS

I HAVE NO POWER STEERING AND A CODE FOR THAT. ALSO CODES FOR HILL DECENT, HILL ASSIST, TRACTION CONTROL. ALSO CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK FOR DOES MY RADIO SOURCE SELECTION. AS OF NOW THAT IS ALL THAT I HAVE FOUND NOT WORKING. THESE PROBLEMS ALL HAPPENED AT THE SAME TIME. STEERING IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AND IS A BIG SAFETY FACTOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THERE WERE ABNORMAL ROARING AND KNOCKING SOUNDS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HIGHWAY FORD (18982 JOHNNIE B HALL MEMORIAL HWY, DERIDDER, LA 70634, (337) 462-5497) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A LOOSE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT THAT WAS NOT SEATED CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000. *TT

DOORS FREEZE REPEATEDLY IN COLD WEATHER AND WILL EITHER NOT OPEN OR WILL NOT LATCH. THE TSB WAS COMPLETED PRIOR TO THE RECALL AND DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. VEHICLE WAS IN FOR SERVICE ON 7/18/2018 AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TSB WAS PERFORMED PREVIOUSLY AND NO ADDITIONAL ACTION WOULD BE TAKEN. I HAVE VIDEO THAT I WANTED THE SERVICE ADVISOR AND WAS TOLD NOT TO BOTHER. THE VIDEO SHOWS EVIDENCE OF DOORS FAILING TO LATCH ON 4/20/2018 WITH TEMPERATURE OF 32 DEGREES. SERVICE ADVISOR REFUSED TO LOOK AT THE VIDEO.
