Read complaints for FORD F-150 (2015)
The contact owned a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving at 55 mph and starting to fall asleep behind the wheel, the vehicle veered to the left to avoid crashing into a tree but when the brake pedal was pressed it failed to stop the vehicle. As a result, the contact crashed into a tree. The air bags did not deploy. The contact (driver) sustained chest, head, and a fractured sternum injuries when he hit the steering wheel and his girlfriend (front passenger) sustained a back injuries. Both injuries requested medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was towed via flatbed to impound lot. The vehicle was destroyed. The vehicle was not diagnosed.a dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 20,000.consumer stated i'm very surprised to hear that travelers insurance company just towed and destroyed the vehicle when i expressly told them that the airbags did not deploy andthat the medical benefits were maxed out. I thought for sure that insurance companies dissected vehicles in such major accidents and being notified by the owner that the equipment was faulty that they did not do a post mortem. My girlfriend got a broken back in the injury, had to have surgery and will most likely be in pain for the rest of her life. I could not work or lift anything over 6 months until my sternum healed itself and had to live through pain while i healed. I still feel a small feeling in my chest.
Driving the ford f150 (v6 ecoboost) on a city street (35 mph) it has failed at random times (i've now seen this issue more than 3 times) usually with 3 major failures. These 3 failures (1) engine, transmission, and emissions 2) brakes & suspension 3) restratins & driver assistance) cause the truck to transition to 'limp' mode which can actually be just as hazardous. If i'm turning onto a road with a 55+ mph speed limit i need to accelerate but if this system fails, along with the restraints & driver assistance, this could be a very dangerous and life threatening situation. The reason why is that the restraints & driver assistance goes off now disabling my airbags, etc. And if i now get hit (because now i'm in limp mode going about 7 mph) i have lost a great deal of 'built-in' protection without the airbags. Translate that to driving on a highway and encountering this situation and you can see that loss of life is not out of the question. I've taken the truck back to ford for the warranty work and they say they believe it's an electronic throttle body controller that has gone bad and needs to be replaced but right now it's at least 3 weeks before they can get a replacement part. Compounding this issue is that ford had issued an internal recall for v8's built at the same plant as my v6 ecoboost truck for the same type of issue.
April 26, 2017 the following components malfunctioned simultaneously when returning to truck from shopping: running boards would not deploy or retract; airbag(s) warning light on dash was lit; climate control system, both heat and cooling was out of service; front windows would not respond to controls; seat comfort functions did not work; mirror adjustment and retraction inoperable; back-up system and warnings inoperable; cross traffic system fault; blind spot warning error. Wiring harnesses replaces and picked truck up may 12th 2017. That evening while driving with a trailer, a message appeared concerning the trailer being disconnected. That disappeared and then the following happened: warning messages began to appear on the driver's display screen saying, 'your vehicle is not in park', 'check manual', 'downhill assist not operational'. Then the lights went out, the truck lost power (the engine was still running), it shifted into downhill assist, front windows didn't work, passenger seat moved by itself, driver's seat began to go back as if the truck was turned off, then it returned to driving position, the sync display went dead and came back on, the driver's display shut down and came back on. All these things continued to repeat as bells sounded and i limped 5 miles back to my son's house. Same problems exhibited when son took truck to the dealer the following am without trailer. Another harness replaced. Picked up truck and drove without incident about 800 miles. When starting truck, trailer message reoccurred. There was no trailer attached. Two days later after being parked, all the 1st set of failures reoccurred. Running boards, ac-heat, air bags, windows, mirrors, cross traffic system, blind spot warning were all inoperable.
I had a significant front end collision and the airbags did not deploy. I was traveling at least 70 mph on the interstate when i collided with another vehicle.

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.
My father was involved in a single vehicle accident in september 2020, where he struck a utility pole with the front driver side bumper on his truck, causing the pole to break. His truck was traveling around 55 mph on a state highway, when he suddenly had to avoid hitting a truck that braked in front of him, causing my father to swerve to the right. His truck went through a ditch before it came to a stop when it struck the utility pole. The air bag in the steering wheel came out but failed to inflate and my father hit his head on the steering wheel. He suffered with injuries which included bleeding on the brain and had to be air lifted to a trauma hospital and had to be put in icu!! he's still under the care of his doctors
Hit a tree at 55 miles per hour and airbags never deployed. Went from 55miles per hour to 0 instantly and if it wasn't for us wearing seat belts we would both be dead. The passenger got 3 cracked vertebrae and will be disabled for life. The driver hit the steering wheel and got a crushed his sternum which leaves him immobile for 6months to let his sternum heal on it's own.

During a accident where i rear ended another vehicle that was either stopped or at a very slow roll on a off-ramp (traffic was backed up from a wreck further up), neither my airbags or my seat belt restrained me. The result being me hitting the steering wheel with my chest and abdomen. I had bruising on my lower abdomen and extensive injuries to my back, neck and hips. The chiropractor hopes to have me back to 80-90% of "normal" (how i was before the wreck) within 2-2 1/2 months. I estimate my speed upon impact to be between 50-60 mph.
The airbag light is illuminated steady on. It began with the light only turning on when the vehicle was in warm/hot weather. Now, it is on consistency with each start. The dealer says there is a fault with the seatbelt airbags that would inflate from the seatbelts in the instance of an accident. Although no accident has occurred, this now requires full replacement at $1,000+ cost.

While driving my 2015 ford f150 platinum (v6 eco boost) on an hwy (70 mph) the truck encountered loss of pedal response and three warning light as i coasted to a stop in heavy traffic. These three warning lights:hill assist traction control, advanced trac warning indicator, driver assistance indicator. The truck to transition to 'limp' mode (accelerator and power steering doesn't work) which a dangerous and scary. Most 'limp' mode incidents have occurred while descending downhill, has occurred seven times so far. I have taken it to the dealer, and they just clear code and say your good ($130 diagnostic fee). Then the error occurs the same day.with more online research there a massive problem with the throttle body which causes this to happen. There needs to be a ford recall for this before someone gets hurt.
I was on the highway and the hill start assist/traction control lights started coming on. A few hundred miles later, more dash lights started flashing and then all dash lights went off and the truck lost all power. I could no longer accelerate. After a moment, it started working again. After a few more miles, it did it again, and this time when it powered down, the abs break system went on and created a terrible grinding noise and brought me to a stop on the side of the highway. I limped it on the side of the highway, trying to find an exit, and the truck repeatedly did the lights flashing/power down/breaks applied several more times at low speed. The nearest exit was about 10 miles, so i had to continue to do this for some time. Once i was at an exit, i disconnected the battery for about 20 minutes. When i re-connected the battery and started the truck, everything seemed fine, but now the check engine light was on. I decided to just risk it and keep driving, so that i could get home. About 100 miles later it started doing the same thing again. I was close enough to home to get off the highway and take back roads home. It did it a few more times and then quit doing it. This was a very dangerous situation, as my truck basically stopped while i was on the highway going 70 mph, and could have caused a serious accident, and left me no option but to either be broken down on the side of the highway or drive at very low speeds on the shoulder. The ford dealer that i took the truck to told me that they can't replicate the issue and all diagnostics come back clean, so they are not able to fix anything. Others online that have had the same/similar issue have said that ford said that it is a damaged throttle body that needs to be replaced, but the dealership that i went to did not suggest that as the cause.
The panoramic sunroof locked up on me when i tried to open it... It would not open and it makes obnoxious noises under normal driving conditions ... There are many you tube videos on this ref. Issue... Ford is replacing the parts to the sunroof, i have read on many ford forums that this 'quick fix' will not correct the problem ... Additionally the steering column always feels like it's positioned off center and veers to the right... I had the truck aligned, problem still exists... Also i've had reoccurring issues with my sync/bluetooth and have advised my service advisors that the problem still exists, when i talk to anyone via the bluetooth i hear loud intermittent static throughout the phone call and the folks on the receiving end of the call all say that there is an echo in the phone line forcing me to end the handsfree sync call and therefore using my own bluetooth... Ford service advisor stated it was because i have an apple iphone, i'm less than satisfied about how ford is handling this issue... I have complained more than 3 times on record about this issue
Turned on the rear defroster and 5 minutes later as i was parking at the grocery store parking lot the back window exploded. Loud pop noise and awful burning smell. Back glass was completely shattered.
Several non starting issues. On one occasion, instrument panel did not come on after starting the vehicle. It would have been unsafe to drive the vehicle with no indication of speed, engine/transmission information, and other vital data. After several restarts, instrument panel came on after a 45 second delay. A wrench warning icon was displayed on the instrument panel. Took the vehicle to my servicing dealer the following day. They could not duplicate the issue, so no repair was made. The truck was stationary when this occurred. We were parked on a city street. This truck has had several electrical malfunctions since the vehicle was new. I have several service records which i will supply if needed to help your investigation.
Throttle body failed causing the truck to enter limp mode several times while driving almost causing a crash by being rear ended by oncoming traffic when trying to enter a hwy or interstate hwy.multiple electronic module failures since new. Truck is a death trap.
While operating vehicle, electrical issue occurs that locks windows and turns off air conditioning.vehicle cabin becomes extremely hot very quickly.ford dealership unable to diagnose issue yet continually reoccurs.not safe to operate the vehicle until the issue can be corrected.a search of the internet revealed numerous similar issues occurring in ford trucks.
Corroded body control module and wiring.ford technicians unable to diagnose cause.caused vehicle to go into limp mode while driving in an unsafe manner.
While driving my truck (typically at moderate speeds - 20 - 30mph) it will suddenly reduce rpms to about 500 and the speed will drop to around 5 mph.simultaneously with that occurring i will receive the following warning indicators "hill start assist not available" then another warning "hill descent control fault" then another warning "service advancetrac" then "see manual". This happens typically while accelerating and has occurred on city streets as well as while merging on a highway on ramp (bad situation).the resolution is to turn the car off an let it sit for a second then start it and drive slowly. This is widely documented across the internet with no identified cause and constitutes a severe safety hazard.
Front seat back cooling system (ted) is malfunctioning. When seat cooling is selected, after 30 minuets, 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/
Engine stalls at idle in park and at stop lights. Sometimes it's bad and sometimes not as much or can go days without doing it.
There is an existing adaptive cruise control safety recall open for this year, make, and model, but my truck also experiences the exact same issues described by ford on their own site every time i use the adaptive cruise control: https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2015/09/30/ford-issues-five-safety-recalls-and-one-safety-compliance-recall.htmli'm sure that the existing safety recall needs to be expanded to additional vins within the f-150 range of vehicles. It is extremely dangerous in the way it currently operates.
Toxic fumes in cab while driving after turning on rear window defroster.pulled over, abandoned vehicle and the a low bank and the rear windows shattered
Engine block heater recall #19s11 fordnhtsa # 19v-278it has been over a year now waiting for replacement part...keep calling ford and they say parts are in, but i called dealer and they say not till october of this year, they keep putting it off.
On 2/23/2017 while driving 50-55 mph on an expressway, the vehicle throttle became unresponsive.the tachometer still showed about 1,000 rpms, dash lights began illuminating, advancetrac was disabled, hill start assist was disabled, the wrench light enabled and a check manual light enabled.there also was a hard shift or clunk sound that came from the transmission.after shifting the truck into neutral while coasting, i attempted to turn off and restart the engine.engine successfully restarted, but the throttle remained unresponsive and all warning lights mentioned above returned.i pulled the truck safely to the side of the highway, and attempted to restart again.this time the engine sputtered and then i turned it off.next i removed the key, opened the door, closed the door, locked the truck, waited for the accessory lights to turn off, unlocked the truck, opened and closed the door and then restarted, and the truck seemed to clear the problem.i took the truck to the dealer and they later told me the truck is not storing any error codes in it's memory.
While driving there is rattling inside of the steering column that started a few months back. Now my alternator seems to not be working properly and the truck will only crank when i have all extras off (radio, ac, etc.) i also have to pump the gas for some reason for it to turn over completely. Otherwise it just dies. Never had a problem until last week when it wouldn't turn over at all. My battery is pulling 13.9 v and i have checked the connections. For a truck to be 3 years old and already need a new alternator appalls me. There is something else going on and the rattling in the steering column is somehow related to me having problems cranking the truck.
Truck is going into limp mode randomly and idling rough with no throttle response. Getting dtc code p2112, electronic throttle body actuator stuck closed. Thoroughly cleaned throttle body and it is still happening. This happens randomly driving down the road leaving me with no throttle response
I own a 2015 ford f150. I was driving at 60 mph, the vehicle abruptly decelerated. The wrench and limp mode warning lights illuminated while the failure code p2112 occurred. I had to coast my vehicle on to the road shoulder and restart the engine. I had to stop and restart numerous times before i could make it home,off of a busy highway. When it stalled on me the next day,i had the vehicle towed to the dealer and paid for a diagnostic that located a failure code at the throttle body.
Electric rear tailgate falls down randomly while driving at speed or even while parked.tailgate has fallen 5-6 times while truck is parked in last few months and also 5+ times while car is driving.it has fallen while truck was in reverse, and while truck was traveling on country roads at speeds of ~40mph. Please note - this issue seems identical to the one ford just announced a recall for on the 2017-2019 f-250 superduty trucks.it must be related.our truck was in the shop just last week before this recall was announced.this truck should be included in the recallthe tailgate most recently fell 11/28/19
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving unknown speeds, the analog speedometer needle was stuck at 100 mph. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was 19,000.
New 2015 f150, accelerates and decelerates on its own. Brakes create loud noise. Wiring harness as it relates to the shifting of the truck was replaced within the first six months as well. Auto off frequently refuses to restart. Loss of complete power on highway.

The power locks on my truck to not operate properly. Some times they will not unlock and some times that will not lock. This morning i unlock the drivers door and go to the store, i get to the store and unlock the rear drivers door. I come back out of the store and only 1 door of the 4 doors would unlock, (drivers door) i reach across and open the passenger door from the inside, put the groceries and then the passenger side door will not lock.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle lost power and stalled without warning. There had also been some difficulty shifting gears from drive into park and reverse because the gear would not fully shift in place. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign numbers: 19v075000 (power train) and 18v894000 (engine). Apple ford lincoln of apple valley (7200 150th st w, apple valley, mn 55124, (952) 431-5900) was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle after it had been taken back and forth more than once. The failure recurred with the vehicle stalling at any rate of speed and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer due to the potential risk of a crash. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa action number: rq17010 (power train). The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 3,000. .consumer replaced throttle body, both times vehicle lost all power other than idle @ roughly 60mph.
The trucks warning system has a serious problem that is hard to explain.the system will display multiple warning and error messages while driving. It happens infrequently, which is why the dealer can not fix it.the driver's display screen will cycle through many warnings, i.e. "transmission not in park", "parking brake warning", "4 by 4 warning etc.probably at least a dozen messages.its not just annoying.sometimes the turn signal will not work.the speedometer drops to 0 - while driving at highway speeds.cruise control usually wont work.so, to reiterate, while driving at highway speeds the electrical system malfunctions, the system beeps for each message, the display goes black, turn signals don't work, the radio doesn't work.this typically lasts for 5 to 20 minutes before clearing up.the dealer has seen the hundreds of warning and error messages that accumulate, but they can't fix it unless the root problem is still present.i have recorded video that demonstrates this problem.
While traveling, with my children in the car, i had an electronic throttle body failure causing my vehicle to abruptly decelerate. This just so happened to occur while in traffic and in a curve but fortunately i was able to maintain control. I did not know at the time that this was the throttle body and assumed it was something wrong with the transmission. After the dealership told me the issue and the repair cost i decided to research it and it looks like this is a pretty common occurrence. I would like to see this issue made into a recall for safety purposes and for frequency of occurrence to other ford owners.
Randomly the hill start assist control error would come up. Additionally, service advance trac error would come up and the truck would go into some sort of limp mode with no acceleration allowed. Finally, the truck started running really rough. All these things would happen while i was in motion and or turning. I have been broken down on the side of the highway 4 separate times now. Everything is really random and can't be replicated. It's done this about 10 times now and the dealer has no idea how to fix it. My truck has been there for over a week with no remedy.
I started the truck with the remote start to let it warm up. After around 3 to 5 minutes we went to get in and noticed smoke and a burning smell coming from the back seat. I turned the truck off and inspected the area the smoke was coming from and noticed the insulation was burned from the wire and my back window had cracks over the entire surface. I believe the rear defrost shorted out
My 2015 ford f-150 was parked on my driveway. Doors would not unlock in 14* northern michigan temperatures. My key fob, door key, and keypad would not open the locks after the truck was remotely started. An extremely dangerous situation if me or my family were participating in cold weather outdoor activities in remote areas. Please refer to my uploaded document which describes the situation as it unfolded. I have read in online forums of other f-150 owners having the same kind of door lock issues. I have not found any safety recalls from ford. I am wondering why. Doors that will not open are dangerous and potentially life threatening under the right circumstances. Particularly in cold weather states like michigan.
While driving on 1-90 the vehicle completely shut do n on its own 3 times so far . It is making us panic on our road trip. It is sunday so can't get it looked at until tom. We had a problem with it not starting as welll took it in to the puyallup dealer and they stated they could not find anything wrong and the problem could not be duplicated. I want there to be something in writing if anything happens to us on this trip.
When the ac control for the front seats is in use the back of the seats can reach temperatures of 110 degrees when the temperature in the cab is 73 degrees.this temperature could burn my children who ride in the back seats or even cause damage to the seat or risk of fire.i have seen multiple accounts of this on the web and from other owners of 2015 ford f150 with this option.
While driving my 2015 ford f150 on a city street at 45 miles per hour the vehicle lost acceleration, rmp dropped to barely 2 and hill assist disabled light came on.glided to a red light, put the vehicle in neutral, came to a stop and kept the gas lightly pressed hoping to keep power to the engine. When lighted turned green put truck back into drive and acceleration returned. Parked at my place of business. Shut the truck off but the brake lights stayed on. Had the vehicle towed to the dealership because of concern to drive it after losing acceleration (tow truck driver call the vehicle in limp mode). The dealership found not fault codes but did find plastic pieces on the floor board. Dealership said it was a "broken brake pedal" - a small plastic disc (grommet) inside the brake assembly broke into pieces causing loss f acceleration, the electronic messaging system to disable hill assist andthe brake lights to remain on. Dealership said they have seen this in ford fusions but not in an f150. The new brake assembly is a total redesign from the the one that the vehicle was built with. The image on the left is the broken brake assemble (the finger is pointing to the damaged item), the part on the right where you will see the small white disc (grommet) is the replacement brake assembly. I purchased the vehicle new in 2015 and have been the only owner. My vehicle has 54k miles, is driven locally, not used to tow or off road and is garaged when not in use. A vehicle loosing acceleration while driving is a major safely concern and i hope this will be investigated as it is a known issue in other ford vehicles.
We had a throttle body issue this summer and had to have itreplaced and towed.during driving, we lost all power, major safety issue!when i asked ford about it, they said they didn't know about the issue; however they issued several recalls regarding this.this truck isn't in the recall, which makes no sense.it is evident that ford has a major issue with their throttle bodiesi have spoken with ford several times, they are not helpful and are refusing to pay for this.
Started my truck using remote start. Roughly 45-55 secs later, i get in my truck and the rear passenger area is filled with smoke. I shut off vehicle. I smelled burned electrical wires. I wasn't able to detect anything out of the norm. Roughly 5-7 mins later, my back glass shattered. Truck was stationary.
I was unable to open my 2015 ford f150 power doors using the key fob, door code buttons, or grip handle sensors. This was most concerning because the issue started with the rear doors; this caused my child to become stuck in the vehicle. The temperature was below freezing at this time. If i had not been able to release the door this would have been an immediate safety issues to my young children. This issue has since progressed to all doors becoming dysfunctional. My vehicle is now at the ford dealership. My vehicle was both stationary and in motion at the time of incident on city streets and freeway. If i had been in an accident and quickly needed to extract my children from the vehicle the issue of the doors not functioning and freezing could have put my and my children's well fare at extreme risk.
The "third brake light" is melting due to excess heat put off by the bulbs.not only is the housing melting but it has allowed large amounts of condensation in when it rains. This problem was first noticed roughly a year ago but continues to get worse. Ford not only wants to charge me for a repair but they plan to use the same part which i have personally seen with the same issue in about a dozen 2015 f150s as well as read about it in various forums online effecting countless 2015 f150 owners. I have photos that date back to over a year ago that show the progression of the issue over time. My fear is that with time it may cause an even bigger issue by allowing water to come in and even be a potential fire hazard.
Front seat back cooling system (ted) is malfunctioning. When seat cooling is selected, after 30 minuets, 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/
Door locks on the drivers side both front and back has stopped locking electronically.you can still manually lock and unlock the doors.neither the remote or the factory mounted toggle switch will lock or unlock the drivers side doors.all the other doors including the tailgate work normally.
Driving down the road today being mindful of the speed limit since i just got a speeding ticket two weeks prior. I looked at the speedometer and it read 62. I know the difference i speed variation just from driver feeling and experience. Well i applied the brakes and the speedometer did not move. When i reached my destination i put the car in park and noticed my speedometer was frozen at 40 mph. So now according to the trucks brain 40 mph = 0 mph
2015 ford f-150.consumer writes in regards to airbag problems, ignition problems and vehicle tires issues.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.
Heated seat connector under passenger seat had a burnt ground connector and a burning plastic smell. Fire hazard. Replaced connector out of pocket in accordance with the ford tsb on this issue.
My truck won't start sometimes and turns off in the middle of driving. It happens every few weeks. It shows a message saying the oil i low but when i check the oil, it is fine.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that the heated and cool seats when activated to cool, the seats would heat atatemperature of 120 to 130 degrees. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 10,000. Updated 9/15/15*cw
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.
Was driving on road with 35mph speed limit, looked down at speedometer and said i was going 85, ever since the speedometer is stuck between 35 and 95, when stopped it lays at 35-40mph. Have read many others with similar issues.
Vehicle was stationary in parking lot. Truck bed illumination lights on third brake light assembly over heated and melted third brake light assembly. The lights come on when the doors are open, and there is no way to turn them off without closing the doors.
My 2015 lariat has heated/cooled leather front seats. When using the seat cooling function i noticed the seat bottom would cool but the seat back seemed to get warm. At first i thought it was my imagination. Attempted to use it on friday and about 30 minutes later my back was hot. I pulled over, felt the seat back with my palm, then my cheek and it was hot to the touch.
The adaptive cruise control slams on the brakes after just passing the end of a semi or large truck. It happens intermittently but has continued over the last 14 months. We have taken the vehicle to the dealer 4 times and they were unable to fix the problem.we traded the vehicle in this last week it still has the same problem .
All american ford in paramus nj will not supply a loaner vehicle for a recall that will take several hours. I was told since i did not purchase the vehicle at that dealership they can't help me.
Turned defrost on and in 2 to 3 minutes heard a loud pop and looked back and the rear windowpane had completely shattered. The break happened in motion on a city street. The defrost malfunctioned and overheated the window causing it to shatter.
Engine caught fire while driving on highway.
I was driving down a city road when the electrical system failed on 11/13. The entire electrical system would go dark for a minute and then come back on for a few seconds, during which i received numerous warning messages. When the system was out, the dashboard display was dead and power steering was offline. I started to receive warning messages about the charging system on 11/6. I brought it to three different places before it failed. On 11/6 advance auto parts told me it was fine. The light went away and later returned.on 11/8 autozone said the battery needed a charge. 11/9 monro said the alternator may need to be replaced. After monro, i made an appointment with ford. First available was 11/14. The incident occurred after not driving the truck 11/10-11/12. After the incident, i had the truck towed to ford for service. The dealership finally and reluctantly told me the cause of the failure. Apparently, one or more of the wires connected to the alternator had been severed by rubbing against the housing meant to protect them. The truck was only 3.5 years old and had fewer than 15,000 miles on it. Ford refused to cover it as it was 6 months out of warranty. The cause of the failure seems to be either a design flaw or a quality control issue. If either of those are the case, a recall may be necessary.
Drivers door lock stopped working using the remote and the power door lock on the door. Started after a cold spell in nc. Door would not lock. Took it to the dealer and they completed the latch recall work. They then charged me for a new latch as they said the electronics in the latch failed which causes the door lock to no longer work.
I have a 2015 f150 king ranch with the 3.5l ecoboost. It has 41,000 miles and never had an issue until yesterday morning and today around lunch. This was from yesterday 10/23/17:hill descent control faultservice advancetrachill start assist not availablei was pulling out onto a highway and the truck began shaking violently, moving very slow with no acceleration, power steering was lost, and the dashboard was showing all the above errors. Luckily there were no vehicles coming when i entered the highway and there was a place to safely pull off the highway. The truck continues to idle rough and shake violently. And today 10/24/17:i was driving down the interstate at 70 mph when the truck did the same thing as yesterday morning. I was able to pull off the side of the highway and shut off the motor. Once i restarted the engine, i was able to get it to the local ford dealership. They say they have no idea why it would be doing this and have not heard anything from ford or seen this in other f150's they have serviced. Update: the dealership claims the fix is in a faulty electronic throttle body and they replaced it at a whopping price of $770. A simple google search shows ford has issues with etb's across vehicles of all classes and knows about it. In fact, some consumers seem to be involved in lawsuits against ford because of their unwillingness to issue a recall before someone is fatally injured. These were scary, scary situations with my vehicle and thank god my wife and kids were not with me. There is obviously an issue and ford needs to correct it at their expense.
Cruise control shuts off during operation. Intermittently will not turn on.analog speedometer will indicate speeds in excess of 40mph slower than real speed. Stuck at 40mph when comes to complete stop.
My 2015 ford f150 lariat has a problem with the electric tailgate release. Tailgate opens when not supposed to. Opens when truck is started, during driving, and when truck is turned off. Has happened for the past 60 days. Truck is beyond warranty and no recall noted. Tailgate comes open while towing trailer, causing issues. When i tow a trailer i have to pull fuse for tailgate release so that it does not drop during driving. Very annoying and dangerous. Mostly do highway driving. Clicking noise on passenger side floor when tailgate is closed, tailgate will stay closed when door is locked. Once doors are unlocked tailgate opens. Need to step out of truck, while door is open i lock the doors, walk to tailgate close it, run back to drivers seat, close drivers door and press door lock button again to keep tailgate locked. Works sometimes, other times i will be driving and the tailgate opens during driving.
While in motion and on the freeway there is power loss, shaking, engine sputtering and barely has enough power to get off the road, hill start assist disabled, decent control disabled, service wrench indicator, service advance trac.i powered off the truck, waiting 10 seconds and it starts and runs fine until it does it again.
Back up camera on my 2015 ford f-150 xlt goes blank when i go into reverse and screen goes fuzzy.
My wife was driving our 2015 f150 on a local street and wanted to turn off the radio so she could speak with me. She accidentally hit the start/stop button and the engine shut completely off.we were doing 35 mph at the time and the truck was in "drive."we managed to wrestle the truck to a stop, put it in park and restart with no problem.vehicle was in motion on a city street.i tested it later in our driveway and the same issue occurred.i cannot believe that in a "push button start/stop" you should ever be able to shut the vehicle off while in motion and in drive or reverse.i contacted the ford dealership maintenance and they told me that was "normal."
I noticed a small round plastic part on my drivers side floor mat that appeared to be a flat disk broken in several pieces. See photo. I didn't think too much about it at the time. A while later my neighbor said my brakes lights were on and my truck had been parked for a quite some time. After not being able to get the brake lights to go out and some internet queries i was able to determine and confirm the small plastic disk came off the top of the brake pedal where it would make contact with the brake light switch. As small of a part as it is, the brake lights were affected and the hill assist function warning wascoming on as well. After checking ford does not sell the tiny plastic disk, worth about 5 dollars, but will sell the entire brake pedal assembly for hundreds. Other auto manufacturers sell the disk called a brake pedal stop pad. This problem is occurring on other fords as i was able to find examples like mine on the internet. There should be a better designed part or brake pedal to prevent this from happening.
April 26, 2017 the following components malfunctioned simultaneously when returning to truck from shopping: running boards would not deploy or retract; airbag(s) warning light on dash was lit; climate control system, both heat and cooling was out of service; front windows would not respond to controls; seat comfort functions did not work; mirror adjustment and retraction inoperable; back-up system and warnings inoperable; cross traffic system fault; blind spot warning error. Wiring harnesses replaces and picked truck up may 12th 2017. That evening while driving with a trailer, a message appeared concerning the trailer being disconnected. That disappeared and then the following happened: warning messages began to appear on the driver's display screen saying, 'your vehicle is not in park', 'check manual', 'downhill assist not operational'. Then the lights went out, the truck lost power (the engine was still running), it shifted into downhill assist, front windows didn't work, passenger seat moved by itself, driver's seat began to go back as if the truck was turned off, then it returned to driving position, the sync display went dead and came back on, the driver's display shut down and came back on. All these things continued to repeat as bells sounded and i limped 5 miles back to my son's house. Same problems exhibited when son took truck to the dealer the following am without trailer. Another harness replaced. Picked up truck and drove without incident about 800 miles. When starting truck, trailer message reoccurred. There was no trailer attached. Two days later after being parked, all the 1st set of failures reoccurred. Running boards, ac-heat, air bags, windows, mirrors, cross traffic system, blind spot warning were all inoperable.
Truck was warming up and something smelled like an electrical fire and suddenly the rear window shattered.contacts for the rear defroster pulled from window causing electrical arcing that started melting a piece of plastic causing a hot spot on the window that led to it shattering.vehicle was stationary while this happened.
Truck suddenly loses power, electrical systems fail.repaired multiple times by dealer diagnosing wiring connection fail under seats.continues to fail.5 times in shop since 2016, no longer under warranty.
The factory/ dealer installed tow brake controller does not apply enough brake power to stop trailer. When towing my 5th wheel(10000lbs)it works fine when i manually apply the override button but when i apply the brake pedal the trailer brakes don't get the command to engage with enough power to stop trailer, my truck is doing almost all of the braking. I have read online where many ford f 150 owners are having similar issues. Ford says there is nothing wrong. I have been towing using the manual override switch or learning to slam on the brakes to stop. The trailer brakes do work almost when i slam on the brake pedal. I am sure that this shouldn't be happening because it's not safe.
My rear camera work sometimes.when backing up it shows a very distorted image, unable to visualize what is there while backing up.the rear sensors are working.a ford dealership told me that it needed to be replaced for approximately $6,000.00
Electrical power connector for rear sliding window defroster broke at its attachment (factory soldered) point to the rear sliding widow glass. This leaves the defogger inoperable and eliminates rear visibility due to fog/frost/ice build-up.vehicle is just out of its 3 year warranty and has less than 28,000 miles.i have spoken with ford customer service. Ford motor company service is unwilling to recognize/correct the factory defect and claimed to have no knowledge of similar issues for the 2015 model.this defect is apparently similar to that which ford has recognized forsimilar 2013 models, issuing a technical service bulletin (ford tsb asi-32259)
Unknown if takata recall or other air bag issue.i am investigating officer not vehicle owner.observed that post moving 2 car intersection crash and airbag deployment, b-pillar started on fire, melting seat belt, most of b-pillar and parts of curtain and side airbags.fire put itself out.owner was not injured but concerned.heat appeared to have melted seat belt through, air bags were burnt.case#m18-1676

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.
My 2015 f150 ecoboost has 79,156 miles on it. Over the past 3 days the truck has repeatedly lost power while driving in traffic on the highway. The rpm will drop down to 500 rpm, rough idle, no acceleration at all, hill assist light wrench light check engine light passenger air bag light and see owners manual pop up on the instrument panel. Took my truck into ford today and they replaced the throttle body under my extende warranty not their emissions warranty as stated in their owners manual of 8 years or 80,000 miles.called ford and they don't know about an emissions warranty in their owners manual. Looked online and youtube to discover this problem is not just me and frequent with others. This can really cause a horrible accident. Luckily i'm a cdl driver and was able to safely get over on the shoulder this time. I'm not confident replacing the throttle body was a fix as it is a bandage to happen again at any point in time. This truck now is compromised and i wouldn't want any of my family using it or depending on it.
2015 f150 2.7l ecoboost 31,908 miles... Upon merging into traffic truck suddenly surges, followed by audible bang then abruptly loses all power "no driving conditions out of the ordinary, not under hard acceleration." warning lights on the dash light up and i have no control of vehicle.luckily i was fortunate to not have much traffic around me at the time and promptly coasted into a deserted parking lot to call my dealership. I am afraid to drive my truck now for fear of causing an accident due to mechanical/electrical failure, i don't want to die and don't want to put anyone it that position either. Dealer replaced the throttle body and says its ok to drive yet the throttle body they used as a replacement is no different then the one that failedhow can that be safe? i'd like them to trust a truck that ceased all essential operations (brakes, acceleration, power steering) with a wife and kids in the vehicle during morning rush hour in the fourth largest city in the united states with speeding drivers who don't pay attention to the road in front of them, then we will talk. This is a huge safety concern and a known problem with many other ford vehicles!!! fix it before someone gets hurt or dies as a result! do the right thing and hold the manufactures responsible its why we have the nhtsa.how is there not a massive recall with the eco boost engines in regards to the faulty throttle body, anything less is unacceptable. Does someone have to die first?
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. Other customers have reported temperatures up to 150 degrees: http://www.carcomplaints.com/ford/f-150/2015/accessories-interior/seat_temperature_control_not_working_properly.shtml
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 consumerthousands 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 prevented damaging the other critical parts.ford has put a lot of these vehicles on the road with the fuel efficiency new engineering as a major marketing tool. I fear the vehicle may have been rushed to production with inherent flaws that could be a danger to owners and the public.
Electric throttle body repair. 16b32 is the code. My truck shut off on me on the highway almost hurting or killing me. This is a brand new vehicle i bought 8 months ago 8000 miles.

The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that the tailgate did big time detached from the vehicle on its own. The failure damaged the wiring cable on the rear of the vehicle. The dealer diagnosed that the computer wires that were damaged needed to be replaced first in order to properly diagnose the tailgate failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but the contact had not received a response. The approximate failure mileage was 21,000.updated 01/10/17* lj
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While passing an 18-wheeler on the right side of the road at highway speeds, the adaptive cruise control activated and the collision warning with brake support feature engaged without warning. The failure occurred twice and caused the vehicle to come to a complete stop. The contact felt that the sensors or an electrical fault within the vehicle could be affecting the adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake support, which could cause a crash. The dealer (autonation ford frisco, 6850 tx-121, frisco, tx 75034, 1-(972) 763-5523) was notified and stated that there was no way to replicate the failure without a diagnostic trouble code. The dealer did not test drive the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and advised the contact to call a dealer. The failure mileage was not available.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving at approximately 65 mph, the vehicle stalled. The instrument panel illuminated. The vehicle restarted after several attempts. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A local dealer and the manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 55,042.
While parked, with engine off, had not been running, keys out of ignition, the engine cooling fans come on at high and will not go off until battery cable disconnected. Upon reconnecting cable next day, fans come on high again. Has happened several times. Has killed the battery and fearful of electrical fire.
I stopped while pulling a trailer, fueled my vehicle, hopped back in and the trailer brakes were on constantly. I disconnected 7 way plug and trailer brakes released. I tested trailer braking output at the 7 pin plug and the brake output was stuck on. I turned the gain down to zero and it was still staying on. I checked the trailer for a short and all check showed trailer wiring as ok. I found on an f150 forum many complaints of the same thing happening to 2015 and 2016 f150's and dealers replacing the trailer brakes module and the tow module.
I received a recall notice from ford telling me to bring the truck to the dealer to have the adaptive cruise control reprogrammed.i did have this work done.after the work was done i had an incident where i was passing an 18 wheeler and the truck set off the collision warning alarm and applied the brakes hard.if someone was following closely it would have been a collision.there was no traffic in my lane for at least 1/4 mile ahead.ford has not been helpful in resolving this issue and their only suggestion is to turn off the adaptive cruise control.i paid a lot of money for what i feel is an important and useful safety feature and want ford to fix the system so it will not malfunction and possibly cause a rear end collision.
I was crossing a busy highway bridge and the truck started violently jerking and shaking, stuttering barely moving. I was able to limp over out of on coming traffic. Was almost hit from behind. I took to ford house to have repaired. Turns out the throddle body was defective and not covered under warranty. My specific vin number is not on the list even though it is a 2015 model vehicle. Do i need to join the class action lawsuit to be reimbursed?
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving 50 mph with the cruise control activated, the steering wheel seized without warning. The contact attempted to depress the brake pedal however, the vehicle was difficult to stop. The contact stated after driving over a bump in the road, the contact was able to turn the steering wheel and depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle on the side of the road. The contact stated the air bag warning light was illuminated. The contact continued driving to his destination. After driving 30 miles, the air bag warning light turned off independently. The contact stated while exiting the vehicle he started to smell electrical fumes. The vehicle was taken to joe hall ford located at 1617 21st st, lewiston, id 83501, (208) 746-2391, and the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 20v332000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer had been informed of failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.
I was driving on the highway and the vehicle loss power. I stepped on the gas pedal but the engine was sputtering and the truck was slowing down. I had to quickly pulled over. Shut the engine off, waited 5 minutes before starting it again. I was able to drive home, the code was p2112 throttle body actuator. It happened so quickly without any warning. I thought this is very dangerous. I was lucky today that i was driving on the right lane and able to pull over. If i was on the left lane on the highway, i don't know what would happen with sudden loss of power.

The contact had to apply extreme force to turn the steering wheel. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road, shut off the engine, and restarted the vehicle. The vehicle was coasted to the dealer (elder ford, 777 john r rd, troy, mi 48083, (888) 467-5023) where it was diagnosed that the steering column, steering sensor, sleeve, and steering unit needed to be replaced due to the intermediate shaft internally fracturing. The dealer provided a loaner vehicle. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v279000 (steering) and nhtsa action number: aq17001 (steering). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 36,000.
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.
Truck went into limp mode after stopping for a red light. This happened twice one day. Dealership said they replaced the throttle body assembly. When in limp it took forever to get through the intersection,long enough that the light changed back to red.
Advance trac malfunction
Vehicle suddenly lost power while driving in traffic.display slowed traction control malfunction, hill assist malfunction and engine trouble light illuminated.loss of power steering and brakes.once vehicle was shut off it then restarted a minute later as if nothing happened.
On 2/23/2017 while driving 50-55 mph on an expressway, the vehicle throttle became unresponsive.the tachometer still showed about 1,000 rpms, dash lights began illuminating, advancetrac was disabled, hill start assist was disabled, the wrench light enabled and a check manual light enabled.there also was a hard shift or clunk sound that came from the transmission.after shifting the truck into neutral while coasting, i attempted to turn off and restart the engine.engine successfully restarted, but the throttle remained unresponsive and all warning lights mentioned above returned.i pulled the truck safely to the side of the highway, and attempted to restart again.this time the engine sputtered and then i turned it off.next i removed the key, opened the door, closed the door, locked the truck, waited for the accessory lights to turn off, unlocked the truck, opened and closed the door and then restarted, and the truck seemed to clear the problem.i took the truck to the dealer and they later told me the truck is not storing any error codes in it's memory.
While driving down the road approx 50mph power steering was lost. Errors displayed on dash for electronic power assist fault, advancetrac fault, hill start assist fault. Also no cruise control. After parking overnight, problem was not present on restart; after 5min of driving, all faults reappeared and have persisted continually without going away.
My truck's collision avoidance / adaptive cruise control has false sensing when passing large heavy duty trucks. At 50-75mph with someone right behind you, this can be very dangerous. If a heavy duty truck is one or two lanes to your right and you are passing them with no one in front of you, the radar sensor senses incorrectly and hits the brakes, flashes the red collision avoidance light and the tone goes off. I've had this happen at least 30 times since i bought the truck brand new.. 4-5 times i've almost been rear ended. It doesn't do it with all semi's, so it's very unexpected.i've taken it to multiple ford dealers, and they've attempted repairs at least 5 times now. Problem is still not fixed and it's not safe to drive wondering when it will be applying the brakes out of nowhere for no reason. It's also not safe to let someone else drive who is unaware of the issue. This is similar to the ford recall 15s29 and nhtsa 15v614000, however, my vehicle was manufactured feb 2015.
My 2015 f150 with 100,700 miles on it completely stalled on me while pulling into traffic.i lost all control and had no throttle response and the truck went into idle mode and would not do anything until i put in park and then turned the truck off and then restarted the truck.ran my codes and noticed that it showed a p2112 code which was a fault with the throttle body response.this caused my truck to completely lose all function in the middle of a busy intersection with cross traffic.luckily there were people turning to prevent an 18 wheeler from coming towards me and the speed limit of 55 mph.this is totally unacceptable for this to just shutdown like this and cause serious danger for myself and those driving around me.after reading online it seems that this is a common problem with these throttle body assembly's.this is not ok!!!!i replaced the throttle body myself without paying $800 at the ford dealership.this has to be addressed for safety reasons.
On oct 23, 2017 my 2015 ford f150 steering locked while driving on california highway 273. Stopped truck and had to force steering wheel hard to the right to get steering to break loose. Also, all electric devices on steering wheel failed to operate. Display on dash flashed many different system failures. Unable to turn off key until steering wheel broke loose. On the morning of oct 24, 2017 all worked okay but took truck to dealer.
I was parked in a sage brush field, warming up in my truck. I turned it off and opened the door to get out. This is when i noticed my electronic running boards didn't extend. So i situated myself back in the drivers seat and realized the radio was still playing. (it is suppose to turn off when i open the door and the truck is off) i started the truck and found i had no dashboard lights, gauges were off, locks would not work in the front. I had only radio ( volume control didn't work) and flashers. I drove the few miles to my dealer. After calling someone. They told me they did a hard reboot of the system. Everything came back on and i noticed it was a few days before everything readjusted to read correctly. I was told to come back if i had more problems. They had a list of faults that showed on the computer when theyplugged it in. The codes: bcm, fcim, ms1-can,hs2-can,hs3-can,u0137 said tbm couldn't communicate with bcm. Final statement on cause: excessive network traffic on the controller area network (can) bus causing the fcim to lock up. I have the work order if needed.
Service advance trac light came on while driving at highway speeds. Complete loss of power but engine was still running at a very rough idle. Zero throttle response. This happened while pulling a 30 ft camper in downtown nashville. Extremely dangerous situation. I was able to shut the truck off and restart it to clear the code but it continued to happen. After researching online i've found that this is a very common problem caused by the throttle body and sensor. Theres recalls out for multiple f150 truck models but apparently mine was made at a time that wasn't included in the recall. Ford has a bigger problem than they are admitting to and they are putting people's lives in danger by doing so. I reached out to ford because i wanted them to document that theres a problem if they weren't going to fix it. They recommended i report it to the nhtsa. I nearly got hit multiple times because of a faulty sensor that costs less than $300 to replace.
While driving 60 on a 2 lane rural highway, the cluster lights up with 'hill assist not available' and engine loses power and truck starts shaking even when stopped.turned truck off and back on and worked fine.happened once more and now check engine light is on.
Driving down the road and the truck losses power and the service advance trac light comes on.. Shut the truck off for a min then it starts back up
Electric throttle body repair. 16b32 is the code. My truck shut off on me on the highway almost hurting or killing me. This is a brand new vehicle i bought 8 months ago 8000 miles.
Corroded body control module and wiring.ford technicians unable to diagnose cause.caused vehicle to go into limp mode while driving in an unsafe manner.
Driving on interrstate 70 at 65 mph, i had several alerts begin flashing ranging from check 4x4, hill assist failure, 2h, parking brake and many more. In addition i lost power steering, brake lights and turn signals.i was able to drive truck home.this happened 4 more times. I called dealer and they suggested i drive it to their establishment some 20 miles away. I did not feel safe and contacted roadside assistance to tow the truck. I had to beg for a loanerone week later i received a call stating the technician needed to drive the truck to see if the same alerts happened even though they found 12 plus alerts when they analyzed the truck in their shop. I allowed this to occur as i wanted answers.i received a call today stating they had found the problem, a wire had became corroded in the steering column causing all the alerts to malfunction. They are replacing the entire column and my truck will be completed by tuesday.i had purchased this truck just 4 months prior and have been a loyal ford customer for 30+ years.
The truck was running for about 15 minutes. We were going down a major highway in one of the passing lanes at approximately 70mph then without any warning power was lost. On the display trac stability came on then cycledthru hill assist andseveral others. I drifted of the road just past a exit. The engine felt like it was missing terribly as it cycling thru these errors. I shut it down and restarted it seemed ok, but check engine light still on, when i tried to move it started to shake and cycle errors again. I shut it down again and restarted this time it was running ok. The check engine light was still on and we drove with thecheckegine light for approximately 400 miles stoppingand shuting off engine several times.light still on. Stopped for 1 hour to eat when restarting no check engine light on and has been working as normal today.

3 series of incidents involving the same problem. In january of 2018 i identified a problem where the engine just dies under acceleration and 3 different warnings appear 1) hill climb assist error 2) service advance trac system3) service engine, see owners manual. On jan 10, 2018 dealer could not find problem. Situation happened again in early april of 2018 and this time they identified the throttle body. It was replaced and issue seemed to be resolved. Issue resurfaced again on dec 7th 2018 almost causing a serious traffic accident. Appointment scheduled with dealership on wed dec 12 2018.all 3 occurrences almost resulted in accidents one nearly a broadside as i turned left across traffic when the engine died.i'm very concerned that this could result in serious injury or even death and ford is aware of the issue according to the dealer service person.this was reported after earlier incident and the complaint number is 11083485
While turning and accelerating onto a two lane highway while towing, there was a sudden loss of power and the instrument console displayed warning message, "service advancetrac." as i was accelerating to merge into traffic at the time of power loss, an unsafe condition was created as the semi-truck i pulled in front of now had to make evasive movements to avoid a collision with my now disabled truck and trailer in the roadway. Power came back on with restart of the truck, but only for a few minutes before the same loss of power and fault message. The code p2112 was pulled from the obd2 reader and it was determined the throttle body needed to be replaced. The problem was in fact fixed with replacement of the throttle body.
Driving down highway when truck immediately lost power, began shaking violently, with no throttle/acceleration available.the dashboard was showing all the below errors. Hill descent control faultservice advancetrachill start assist not available
Something attached to the crankshaft cracked and now the entire engine is being replaced
I have 2015 f150 with the eco boost 2.7 liter engine. It has roughly 60,000 miles. For the last couple of months when it sits overnight and you start it in the morning it emits a bluish white smoke for about 5-10 seconds.i did see where there is a cold start problem with some of these vehicles and maybe pulling brake fluid if i remember correctly. I looked up the vin number on the recall and mine has not shown up. I am concerned that mine is dong the same thing as specified on this recall but has not been included.
2015 f150 2.7l ecoboost 31,908 miles... Upon merging into traffic truck suddenly surges, followed by audible bang then abruptly loses all power "no driving conditions out of the ordinary, not under hard acceleration." warning lights on the dash light up and i have no control of vehicle.luckily i was fortunate to not have much traffic around me at the time and promptly coasted into a deserted parking lot to call my dealership. I am afraid to drive my truck now for fear of causing an accident due to mechanical/electrical failure, i don't want to die and don't want to put anyone it that position either. Dealer replaced the throttle body and says its ok to drive yet the throttle body they used as a replacement is no different then the one that failedhow can that be safe? i'd like them to trust a truck that ceased all essential operations (brakes, acceleration, power steering) with a wife and kids in the vehicle during morning rush hour in the fourth largest city in the united states with speeding drivers who don't pay attention to the road in front of them, then we will talk. This is a huge safety concern and a known problem with many other ford vehicles!!! fix it before someone gets hurt or dies as a result! do the right thing and hold the manufactures responsible its why we have the nhtsa.how is there not a massive recall with the eco boost engines in regards to the faulty throttle body, anything less is unacceptable. Does someone have to die first?
While driving on a mountain highway (~7000 ft elevation) in colorado, my 2015 ford f150 suddenly lost speed and vibrated wildly before stalling completely in the middle of the highway. While stopped, the truck continued to vibrate.various warning lights illuminated (check engine, hill assist not working, check manual, etc.) and i had to turn off my truck and re-start to pull off the road. The problem happened 3 more times within 2 hrs but this time i was able to track additional metrics (but i moved over to a secondary road with little to no traffic) to relocate to a safe location. The 3 additional stall events were triggered between rpms of 1000 and 2000. As i approached 2000 rpms and/or climbed a slight hill, i could feel the truck begin to loss throttle and if i did not back off on the gas peddle, the truck would stall. I am having my truck towed to a ford dealership but i am at 36,747 miles and just beyond my warranty. I consider this a very danger system failure for a low mileage vehicle.
Corroded body control module and wiring.ford technicians unable to diagnose cause.caused vehicle to go into limp mode while driving in an unsafe manner.
Since december 27th 2018 the oil pressure switch has gone out 3 times. The second time 3 or more qts of oil leaked out. Low oil pressure light came on when starting up in driveway.
The oil pan is leaking to find out it's a plastic pan that has no gasket, the dealer said it had to be replaced with an upgraded oil pan.

The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving unknown speeds, the vehicle stalled. When the vehicle was restarted, it operated normally. The failure occurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to billion auto ford of clear lake (3101 willow creek ct, clear lake, ia 50428, (641) 903-2299) where it was diagnosed that the throttle body and motor assembly failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 84,129.
Truck engine goes to rough idle while driving, have to shut engine off, restart. Never know when this might happen or at what speed. Local ford dealer unable to find problem.has happened several times
While driving my truck it began to sputter and then the engine stopped completely.i was just shy of a busy intersection and had no power.the error message was "driver hill assist not available" which did not correlate to the problem at all.the engine light was also illuminated.after getting the truck to the ford service center they found the electronic throttle body (etb) had failed.i have 50,000 miles on the vehicle. The shop said that they normally do not stock many parts but this was one they always keep in stock.the technician claimed he had seen 20+ failures in the fast year.research on line indicated that there is more than 60,000 complaints in ford vehicles regarding the failure of this etb.there was action initiated by the nhts and a recall was waived provided that ford extend warranty for this part.that did not happen in my case.my bill was $604.92more importantly i could have lost power in the middle of that intersection or during a long drive home where no cell reception was possible.i was lucky to have broken down in a town with a ford service center before my 3.5 hour trip back to denver.fyi, i called ford customer care and they said that i was not part of a "customer satisfaction program"... Interesting choice of words, because i didn't feel like i was part of anything at ford nor were they concerned about this issue. In fact, they claimed it was not a significant problem.
The vct solenoid has been listed as a problem on a large number of ford engines but ford will not recall. The issue causes the engine to drop in idle and stall. My mechanic said he has changed hundreds in ford engines.this is a safety issue when a vehicle stalls without waning
Driving the ford f150 (v6 ecoboost) on a city street (35 mph) it has failed at random times (i've now seen this issue more than 3 times) usually with 3 major failures. These 3 failures (1) engine, transmission, and emissions 2) brakes & suspension 3) restratins & driver assistance) cause the truck to transition to 'limp' mode which can actually be just as hazardous. If i'm turning onto a road with a 55+ mph speed limit i need to accelerate but if this system fails, along with the restraints & driver assistance, this could be a very dangerous and life threatening situation. The reason why is that the restraints & driver assistance goes off now disabling my airbags, etc. And if i now get hit (because now i'm in limp mode going about 7 mph) i have lost a great deal of 'built-in' protection without the airbags. Translate that to driving on a highway and encountering this situation and you can see that loss of life is not out of the question. I've taken the truck back to ford for the warranty work and they say they believe it's an electronic throttle body controller that has gone bad and needs to be replaced but right now it's at least 3 weeks before they can get a replacement part. Compounding this issue is that ford had issued an internal recall for v8's built at the same plant as my v6 ecoboost truck for the same type of issue.
On three occasions now while accelerating the vehicle suddenly looses all power. There have been audible warning sounds and check engine lights, also messages such as hill assist not available. On all occasions i was turning on to a street from a complete stop and accelerating.turning off the engine seems to correct the problem. I have brought the vehicle to the dealer twice now.
When accelerating , there is a loud chirping noise coming from the engine. The exhaust manifolds have warped. Very annoying sound and loss of power. Seems to be a common problem among other owners of the 3.5 eco boost. Very disappointing.
The exhaust manifolds have warped causing studs to break leading to an exhaust leak. This is a very common problem with these engines. It produces a squealing noise under acceleration
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 exhibitedno '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.
I was on the highway and the hill start assist/traction control lights started coming on. A few hundred miles later, more dash lights started flashing and then all dash lights went off and the truck lost all power. I could no longer accelerate. After a moment, it started working again. After a few more miles, it did it again, and this time when it powered down, the abs break system went on and created a terrible grinding noise and brought me to a stop on the side of the highway. I limped it on the side of the highway, trying to find an exit, and the truck repeatedly did the lights flashing/power down/breaks applied several more times at low speed. The nearest exit was about 10 miles, so i had to continue to do this for some time. Once i was at an exit, i disconnected the battery for about 20 minutes. When i re-connected the battery and started the truck, everything seemed fine, but now the check engine light was on. I decided to just risk it and keep driving, so that i could get home. About 100 miles later it started doing the same thing again. I was close enough to home to get off the highway and take back roads home. It did it a few more times and then quit doing it. This was a very dangerous situation, as my truck basically stopped while i was on the highway going 70 mph, and could have caused a serious accident, and left me no option but to either be broken down on the side of the highway or drive at very low speeds on the shoulder. The ford dealer that i took the truck to told me that they can't replicate the issue and all diagnostics come back clean, so they are not able to fix anything. Others online that have had the same/similar issue have said that ford said that it is a damaged throttle body that needs to be replaced, but the dealership that i went to did not suggest that as the cause.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle's throttle completely failed and several unknown warning indicators illuminated. The contact was able to coast the vehicle to the side of the road and restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to holmes tuttle ford lincoln (660 w auto mall dr, tucson, az 85705, (866) 930-6255) where it was diagnosed that the throttle body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 79,500.
A/c compressor and evaporator assembly failed on a 2015 truck with 50k miles! just out of the blue the a/c compressor started making a loud noise and subsequently failed very shortly thereafter. Had to get it replaced. In connection with this problem, the evaporator assembly failed as well and was leaking freon into the cabin of the vehicle.had to get that replaced. $2k worth of repairs - unbelievable. A simple google search shows this to be a common issue - this needs to be recalled!
While driving on the highway at 75 mph the truck shuttered violently and the engine shut down. Immediately it flashed a warning that the "hill climb assist" malfunctioned followed immediately by a wrench symbol notifying that service was needed then another warning about the advance trac system then back to the hill climb assist symbol. All of this happening while the car behind me is almost sideways trying to avoid me. I eventually made it to the right shoulder of the highway.as i read the various warnings it said to refer to the owners manual with regards to the hill climb assist. I turned the ignition off, pulled out the owners manual only to find a description of the hill climb assist feature. After waiting for about 5 minutes i decided to turn on the ignition.the truck started without issue and i continued home cautiously in the far right lane.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle stalled and the engine would not restart. The contact attempted to restart the engine; however, the vehicle began shaking and would not stop. Also, 'hill descent control fault' and 'service advancetrac" appeared on the instrument panel. The vehicle was towed to paducah ford (3476 park ave, paducah, ky 42001, (270) 444-0011) where it was diagnosed that a new throttle body needed to be installed. The contact planned to have the vehicle repaired this week. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was 104,000.
When driving down the road an error will randomly pop up stating 'see manual' then another one pops up stating 'hill descent control fault.' the truck then loses all power. You have to carefully drive off the road (with no power) and stop and then restart. Sometimes it will start and be fine, other times the error will appear again. Very unsafe if you lose power driving 80mph down the interstate.
Engine goes into limp mode on the road, street or highway with no warning.engine shuts down. Dealer installed new throttle body for the third time!
My 2015 f150 with 100,700 miles on it completely stalled on me while pulling into traffic.i lost all control and had no throttle response and the truck went into idle mode and would not do anything until i put in park and then turned the truck off and then restarted the truck.ran my codes and noticed that it showed a p2112 code which was a fault with the throttle body response.this caused my truck to completely lose all function in the middle of a busy intersection with cross traffic.luckily there were people turning to prevent an 18 wheeler from coming towards me and the speed limit of 55 mph.this is totally unacceptable for this to just shutdown like this and cause serious danger for myself and those driving around me.after reading online it seems that this is a common problem with these throttle body assembly's.this is not ok!!!!i replaced the throttle body myself without paying $800 at the ford dealership.this has to be addressed for safety reasons.
With no notice or warning while driving on freeway pulling horse trailer at 65 mph engine shut down and would not restart. Hill assist light came on along with skid anti-sway motion and a wrench appeared in the indicator light. Steering wheel became hard to move. Had to cross three lanes of traffic to get to side of road in a construction zone while going uphill towing a horse trailereventually restarted
When turning onto a road and starting to accelerate, the truck suddenly lost all power and the traction control, advance traction control, hill descent control, maintenance required light all came on and the truck went into limp mode. Luckily i was able to pull off the road and avoid being hit.
2015 ford f-150. Consumer writes in regard to faulty evap blocking valve and request an investigation on defect part in vehicle model. *as
This is the second time the engine just seized on me while driving in motion, on the interstate, at a high rate of speed and i would have to change the gear to keep it from stalling! this is a serious safety issue. I am taking it in for service at autonationford in sanford fl, again today!
Driving on highway 3 different times when acceleration stopped and check engine light came. Fortunately traffic was light when vehicle decelerated. I took vehicle to my mechanic and he had to replace throttle body. He googled problem and saw numerous types of same part vehicle. Called my ford dealer and he confirmed that they had had to replace throttle body on certain models but ford had not yet issued a recall notice. This is a very dangerous situation to lose throttle suddenly while driving. My mechanic replaced part, but ford will not address as a recall issue
My f-150 has had 2 turbos in 1 year go bad on it, causing me to not be able to accelerate at highway speeds. Losing gas mileage and coolant also. My tire sensor has also gone bad on the truck and caused me to over inflate it.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While the vehicle was undergoing an oil change, the dealer noticed that oil was leaking onto the skid plate. There were no warning indicators illuminated. It was diagnosed that the oil pan failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was approximately 24,000.
While driving my truck (typically at moderate speeds - 20 - 30mph) it will suddenly reduce rpms to about 500 and the speed will drop to around 5 mph.simultaneously with that occurring i will receive the following warning indicators "hill start assist not available" then another warning "hill descent control fault" then another warning "service advancetrac" then "see manual". This happens typically while accelerating and has occurred on city streets as well as while merging on a highway on ramp (bad situation).the resolution is to turn the car off an let it sit for a second then start it and drive slowly. This is widely documented across the internet with no identified cause and constitutes a severe safety hazard.
My truck won't start sometimes and turns off in the middle of driving. It happens every few weeks. It shows a message saying the oil i low but when i check the oil, it is fine.
While in motion and on the freeway there is power loss, shaking, engine sputtering and barely has enough power to get off the road, hill start assist disabled, decent control disabled, service wrench indicator, service advance trac.i powered off the truck, waiting 10 seconds and it starts and runs fine until it does it again.
Truck stalls due to throttle body actuator sticking. Vehicle becomes disabled/stalled and applies the brakes. Occurs without notice at any speed. Occurs on highway, city streets, and dirt roads. Requires throttle body replacement. Similar recalls did occur for the ford throttle body for other models and years (e.g. 13n03 program). Dealer indicates it is not covered under powertrain warranty (although it should be) and costs $600 to replace.
Defective electronic throttle body causing "limp home" mode . I was driving home pulling my camper up a large bridge in michigan during heavy traffic condition and the truck went into limp mode causing loss or power to tow the camper up and over the bridge. I alsmost created a serious accident with people slamming brakes behind my when i went from 70 mph to 0 in less then 150 ft. It has since happened several more times.i took it to a dealer and they knewexactly what the issue was and charged me 200.00 for deductible on the repair. I see all over the web that this is a known issue and ford is doing nothing about it. When this occurs you feel a little lag in the performance when you press on the gas pedal for a second or two. The the hill decent warning willlight up followed by the traction control fail light. The vehicle will then slow down to under 5mph and engine will re running very rough. You can shut the vehicle off and restartto get you further down the road but as times goes on this will continue to get worse and then happen every mile or so.here is a great video someone did on the issue to capture the problem. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfdenhjmq84
While driving in traffic, the engine abruptly cut to a rough idle and throttle became unresponsive.warnings to service advancetrac andhill start assist popped up.i coasted to a stop, which was dangerous in traffic.i turned the engine off, then restarted twice and vehicle then behaved normally. The same problem recurred the following day.this is a repeat of a problem that occurred early in the life of the truck and that was fixed by the dealer under warranty by replacing the throttle body.this time i bought and replaced the throttle body myself and have fixed the problem.loss of engine power in traffic is a dangerous event.the fact that this is the second failure of the throttle body in my vehicle suggests that the problem is not under control by the manufacturer.
My 2015 f150 ecoboost has 100,000 miles on it. Over the past 10 days the truck has repeatedly lost power while driving in traffic on the highway. It happened while going up a hill on a cross-country trip, as well. The rpm drops down to 500 rpm, rough idle, no acceleration at all, hill assist light wrench light check engine light passenger air bag light and see owners manual pop up on the instrument panel (limp mode). Pulled off to side of road and had to stop and re-start the truck several times before we could continue our trip. I checked codes and logged a p2112.after some online research, i cleaned the throttle body.looked online and youtube to discover this problem is not just me and frequently happens to others. This is a safety issue and could result in an accident. The truck should not enter limp mode for a minor issue like this.luckily i was able to safely get over on the shoulder each time. I recently had my truck in for a recall and pcm software update. The rear differential went about a week after the update, and now the loss of power. (see https://youtu.be/hxqvxxejzqo)
Engine lost power suddenly and stalled, i had a wrench lamp come up with the following faults: service advancetrac/ hill descent control fault. This happened on a bridge on a highway when i was driving with my family. I pressed the throttle but the engine went into "limp" mode, no response from the throttle whatsoever. Almost got hit by a semi truck from the rear.took it to ford, for 2 weeks they had no idea what's wrong with it. They performed a software update and said it's good to go. The same problem happened again 2 days later when i was close to work. Stopped by a local automotive shop since i didn't want to drive it back to the dealership. We read the code and it showed a "p2112 throttle actuator control system stuck closed".i got a new throttle body installed for 376$, and never had the problem again. Apparently it's a common problem with ford f150s made in specific dates. Did some digging, ford issued a techincal bulletin tsb 16-0139 with this known problem.this problem is very similar to recall 13n03 ' throttle body extended coverage ' 2009-2013 ford & mercuryi took the old throttle body apart, there was a lot of oil buildup inside that interfered with the motor controlling the butterfly valve.
2015 f-150 3.5l ecoboost driving on highway at speeds 60-75mph went to "limp mode" losing all acceleration with warnings "service advance trac" "hill descent control fault" and "hill start assist not available" along with the service wrench light. Resulted having to pull over on interstate 10 with busy traffic, also while in the middle of a traffic light turning left. This has happened 6 times. Ford dealer has diagnosed this as a throttle body issue and will be replaced at my cost
10,600 miles on this new 2015 ford f-150 ecoboost 3.7 engine. While driving home from work at 5:15pm on highway 84, the truck lost all power and coasted to a stop in heavy traffic.the truck shook and vibrated, the engine light, anti slip and tool icon light all came on.the truck showed the engine was at 1000 rpm but would not move or react to my pushing the gas petal.i was able to turn off and the truck and restart to get moving again before it repeated the same events 5 more times.i was able to get on a service road and limp i the truck home.the truck dying with highway speeds is deadly.$45,0002015 ford f-150 supercrew 4x410,600 miles
Engine has stalled and gone into 'limp' mode at highway speeds 4 times in the past few months. Have to pull over and turn truck off and then on to resume normal function. Got error codes about hill assist not working when turning the truck back on. Took to the ford dealership and they could not replicate the issue. After researching online found numerous other people having exact same issue and it the resolution was replacing the throttle body. Called dealership and they said that might be it but didn't want to diagnosis it as that until they could replicate. Again voiced concern to them that if the vehicle goes into limp mode in the middle of the freeway that could be extremely dangerous. They said there were no recalls for my vehicle but appears multiple other models and years have had this recall already done.
Driving on highway at 60 mph, climbing slight incline, multiple warnings regarding hill assist, abs, traction control, etc. Populate on dash.truck goes in to "limp" mode, steering becomes stiff and speed reduces until it comes to a rough idle.

No hill assist flashed first, then traction control, then flashed check engine warning. Engine stayed on but in idle only with no throttle control, lost power steering too. Got to side of road. Pumped throttle. No response. Turned off. Restarted and cranked little longer than normal and started but idling rough. Turned off again. Restarted. Smooth that time. Dropped in gear and drove 4 hours home in sport mode at 75 mph. No more issues last week till yesterday morning. Drove wife to dr on our 45 mile back country roads. Issue came back. This time ran rough when restarted. Then smoothed out. Did it 3 more times on way there. Which was 6 miles. On way home, reoccurred multiple times never getting it above 40 miles per hour before happening again. Called 3 tow companies, all were 2 hours out. Limped it home with flashers at 25 mph. Had towed today to diffee ford in el reno. They said yes a tsb, but no ford not covering the cost of repair61,340 multiple law suits have been filed complaints on the throttle body defective needing replaced leaving driver stranded.
My 2015 f150 ecoboost has 79,156 miles on it. Over the past 3 days the truck has repeatedly lost power while driving in traffic on the highway. The rpm will drop down to 500 rpm, rough idle, no acceleration at all, hill assist light wrench light check engine light passenger air bag light and see owners manual pop up on the instrument panel. Took my truck into ford today and they replaced the throttle body under my extende warranty not their emissions warranty as stated in their owners manual of 8 years or 80,000 miles.called ford and they don't know about an emissions warranty in their owners manual. Looked online and youtube to discover this problem is not just me and frequent with others. This can really cause a horrible accident. Luckily i'm a cdl driver and was able to safely get over on the shoulder this time. I'm not confident replacing the throttle body was a fix as it is a bandage to happen again at any point in time. This truck now is compromised and i wouldn't want any of my family using it or depending on it.
While driving on crowded highway in boston area, truck lost engine power. Dash gave following warnings: see manual, service advancetrac, hill descent control fault, hill start assist not available. After emergently switching lanes with no engine power, i shut the truck down, paused, and restarted the engine. This happened ~20 times before i could get it fixed. The problem was a faulty throttle body. This was not covered by ford even though i consider this a major safety hazard.
On freeway when lost acceleration.indicator on dash said up hill assist not available and after clinking okay it then read service advance trac with the mechanic wrench showing.i'm on the shoulder of freeway, in park, and engine running rough as if on only two cylinders.i went ahead and put it back in drive and there was not throttle and trans would not kick in. Turned key off ready to call tow truck but went ahead and restarted the truck and issue cleared itself so we moved down the road.there is still an underlying issue, as i am told by my ford service writer, the etb needs to be replaced and from what i see online this is not an uncommon issue with the etb and f150. This is a major concern and i was fortunate i was not towing my travel trailer at time which could have had major issue getting to side of freeway safely without power, if not rear ended.shouldn'tthere be a recall because of safety?ford is selling f150 eb as quality tow vehicle although this could get someone hurt or even worse. Don't get me wrong, i am very pleased with the f150 eco boost and its performance but this issue needs to be addressed by ford! and not at customer expense!
Truck unexpectedly lost power while driving on state highway.dash lit up with service advancetrac, hill descent fault, see manual, airbag fault, and the service wrench.immediately went into limp mode.turned engine off, restarted and continued driving.
While driving my 2015 ford f150 platinum (v6 eco boost) on an hwy (70 mph) the truck encountered loss of pedal response and three warning light as i coasted to a stop in heavy traffic. These three warning lights:hill assist traction control, advanced trac warning indicator, driver assistance indicator. The truck to transition to 'limp' mode (accelerator and power steering doesn't work) which a dangerous and scary. Most 'limp' mode incidents have occurred while descending downhill, has occurred seven times so far. I have taken it to the dealer, and they just clear code and say your good ($130 diagnostic fee). Then the error occurs the same day.with more online research there a massive problem with the throttle body which causes this to happen. There needs to be a ford recall for this before someone gets hurt.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle lost power and stalled without warning. There had also been some difficulty shifting gears from drive into park and reverse because the gear would not fully shift in place. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign numbers: 19v075000 (power train) and 18v894000 (engine). Apple ford lincoln of apple valley (7200 150th st w, apple valley, mn 55124, (952) 431-5900) was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle after it had been taken back and forth more than once. The failure recurred with the vehicle stalling at any rate of speed and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer due to the potential risk of a crash. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa action number: rq17010 (power train). The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 3,000. .consumer replaced throttle body, both times vehicle lost all power other than idle @ roughly 60mph.
2015 ford f-150 ecoboost, bought april 2018 with approx. 67,000 miles, currently at approx. 75,000 miles. I am reporting the sudden loss of accelerating power as the vehicle shudders and stalls both when moving with traffic or accelerating to enter or move with traffic. Multiple warning messages including the wrench light flash in the dash message area as the engine slows to idle with no ability to accelerate and comes to a stuttering stop. The first occurrence was three weeks ago and has happened no less than six time since - twice while accelerating onto the freeway (very busy, very fast traffic) and twice while crossing or turning in multi-lane intersections from stopped. Four of the six times resulted in my vehicle dying in and obstructing traffic with and me barely getting to the side of the road without an accident. I now shift to neutral to let momentum move the vehicle as i worm through traffic to the side of the road. Shutting off and restarting the engine clears or resets the message and sometimes "downhill assist not available" with the check engine light comes on. The check engine light has both stayed on or shut off on restart. I can then drive on the vehicle's own power, though the problem has repeated as soon as two minutes later, or not for days. I have not had to be towed and no accidents have occurred. The north carolina consumer's council filed a lawsuit against ford in 2015 which was settled with ford offering an extended warranty only on the etb (electronic throttle body) of certain model vehicles - all with the ecoboost engine, and multiple customer service actions (csa's) that have since expired. A few minutes on the ford forums online and it is apparent that this is a widespread problem with the ecoboost engine, and ford has offered several bandaids, but none until after the etb has failed and lives been endangered.
Transmission shuttered and shifted awkwardly while driving street/highways. Inspected under vehicle after returning home and found transmission fluid leaking along bottom of truck. Found the cause was corroded auxiliary transmission cooler and corroded lines / fittings at cooler leaking.
Sadly, we feel we have purchased a lemon occasionally engine or transmission squeals/grinds, if accelerate too quickly/power up.,and now, on cold days [temps low 40s & under] hear rubbing/grinding whirring at left front tire? gets louder when depress brake, and can feel in brake pedal. Sound occurs during slow forward speed 2-40 mph, on gravel driveway or paved road. Scheduled service today for noise; they were more interested in fixing recall item [locks - rpr time 3+hrs], if they had parts in stock. Recall srvc completed [under 1 hr], and "no noise was heard." i requested further look for cause of noise, service advisor said quick lane would check suspension?. 2 hrs later, nothing seen, nothing heard, nothing repaired. As i pulled away from dealership, having signed off on service, the truck immediately began making the noise [funny serv advsr didn't hear when he brought truck around?]. I drove less than 1/10 mile back to dealership, took the service advisor for ride; at which point he acknowledged he heard noise, but tried to assure me it's a 'tire issue.' my husband and i believe otherwise - this is not tire noise, the noise never crescendos or changes pitch with increase or decrease speed, on gravel or asphalt, and we have never felt 'tire noise' in brake pedal. This noise/friction merely ceases after you've driven a few minutes [for now]. Service advisor assured me i was not doing any further damage to truck, continuing to drive it without resolution to the problem. I asked him if i needed new tires, he said indeed not, mine are in great shape [original tires] with 63,000 miles on them [but it's a tire issue?]. Something's up [similar concerns have been raised in forums on the internet- along with dealer dismissal/failure to resolve.we want our truck repaired [resolution of these mechanical failures] while it's under warranty, or we want a new vehicle.
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.
While driving on the highway pulling a trailer the vehicle check engine light and wrench light came on with a warning that stated "service advance track and hill assist is not available. The vehicle then lost all power causing me try attempt to cross traffic to get to the side of the road without any engine power. After stopping the engine was shuddering. The vehicle needed to be towed into a dealer to be fixed.the electronic throttle body had failed causing the engine to go into "limp" mode(what ever that is). This is a very dangerous situation to have happen at highway speeds
The truck completely lost power on a major interstate.the engine kept running, but no power to maneuver putting me and my family's safety in jeopardy.i was lucky it did not stall in a different place, or there could have been a major accident.it turned out to be a bad electronic throttle body.ford dealer replaced it at a cost of $500.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving at different speeds and attempting to make a turn, the advance trac control light illuminated, which caused the vehicle to slow down. The failure was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 7,300.
Ford 3.5 ecoboost warped exhaust manifolds, bolts cracks , and lost ,sound loudand power less.
Vehicle lost power and flashed 3 warning messages. 1) hill start assist not available. 2) see manual. 3) service advance trac. In addition the service engine light stays on. All of this happened while i was making a left turn in traffic almost causing a collision. This is the second time it has happened. After first time dealer was contacted and service department reported no problems found. Appointment currently scheduled to look at it again.
2015 f150 - without warning - driving at 30 mph on a road and the engine shut down. Hill assist came on along with skid anti-sway motion and a wrench appeared in the indicator light.truck would not move.i turned off the engine and started it back up and it ran until i reached 45 mph on a 4 lane main road and the engine shut down and i had to coast to the side and restart again.this is a very hazardous situation especially if i had been on an interstate with multiple lanes.i am surprised ford has not issued a recall on this matter.it happened suddenly and without warning.please look into this asap - i have seen postings where other people are having the same problem.
The throttle body failed while traveling on i-94 in a single lane construction zone during a severe rainstorm. The throttle body is a part that controls the air intake on the engine and when it fails the engine loses power and cannot pull a trailer. The engine does not stall, but it does shudder enough to shake the vehicle. I turned the vehicle off and upon restart could move out of traffic. This occurred two more times till i could make it to a dealership. This is a known problem and the part is backordered due to demand. When this part fails it could put the driver and other vehicles in a life situation as i was without an area to pull off and semis on the road with poor visibility. I have been waiting at a dealership for 3 days for the part stuck in my trailer and no known timeframe for when the part will arrive. Learned this morning that the part was shipping was canada, but no delivery timeframe.
While driving there is rattling inside of the steering column that started a few months back. Now my alternator seems to not be working properly and the truck will only crank when i have all extras off (radio, ac, etc.) i also have to pump the gas for some reason for it to turn over completely. Otherwise it just dies. Never had a problem until last week when it wouldn't turn over at all. My battery is pulling 13.9 v and i have checked the connections. For a truck to be 3 years old and already need a new alternator appalls me. There is something else going on and the rattling in the steering column is somehow related to me having problems cranking the truck.
Truck goes into limp mode constant in middle of traffic. Severe safety hazard for all. Throws throttle body code. According to dealer its not covered in yhe recall or whatever ford called it but its gonna get us killed.
Windshield cowl panels leak rain water into top of the engine where the two cowl pieces meet in the middle.i suspect looking at other 2015 and 2016 f150 models they have or will have the issue of leaking water onto the engine.besides possible corrosion or damage to engine, this could cause the engine to stall and maybe a safety problem.
Truck fault code flashes and truck shuts down into safe mode. Three times it occurred while driving on freeway at 70 mph and the fourth time it happened in an a side road doing 35 mph. Every time the same thing happened, the truck shut down in safe mode showing fault codes. I would stop, it would idle very rough, i was not able to move it as it would not rev or let me increase rpm. I would have to shut off truck, turn it back on, it would reset and drive like normal. Tookto courtesy ford four times to diagnose and they could not find anything, i bought a code ready and the truck went into fault code and safety mode again, the code read p2112. Ford found tsb 16-0139 applied and replaced throttle body and charged me $496.95 for repair. 2015 ford f150 with 58k miles.
1.11/09/2019 vehicle went into "limp mode" when entering the i-84 freeway from a freeway on-ramp at wood village, oregon.vehicle lost power, would not exceed 5 mph, dash lights (wrench light) came on.vehicle partially blocked traffic at intersection of freeway and on ramp causing a dangerous traffic problem for over 1 hour before tow truck arrived..vehicle was towed to ford dealer.diagnostic codes were not available upon restart at dealer to determine the problem, no repair was made.how can ford have a "limp mode" which essentially shuts down the vehicle (stutters, stalls, no power) without the ability to diagnose the problem when diagnostic codes automatically reset at next startup?2. 07/02/20vehicle went into "limp mode" while driving on busy county road near my home.using county roads and city streets, vehicle was driven in "limp mode" at low speed (5 mph or less for 7 miles to ford dealer.other vehicles were forced to pass in dangerous situations, bike lanes were blocked and intersections were partially blocked because of the slow speed of the vehicle.i was afraid to shut off the vehicle due to the previous incident where that action cleared the diagnostic codes.vehicle was left running at the ford dealer and repaired by them by reading the codes and replacing the throttle body.it is ridiculous to have a failure that initiates a "limp mode" condition that places the vehicle in a dangerous situation where the underlying condition cannot be easily diagnosed if vehicle is subsequently restarted.this will, of course happen when the vehicle is being towed or driven to the dealer if the dealer cannot immediately read the codes.i feel that ford put me in harms way twice due to this faulty "limp mode' system.further, i have no confidence in the reliability of this vehicle for future use.
Engine abruptly dropped to a rough idle with no throttle response while in traffic.display console reported 'service advancetrac' and other warnings.i managed to coast to the side of the road.i shut off and restarted the engine and was able to drive normally.the same symptom repeated the next day. This is a repeat of the same symptom that occurred at about 17000 miles.at that time the dealer replaced the throttle body under warranty.this time the vehicle was out of warranty, so i replaced the throttle body myself and fixed the problem.i subsequently disassembled the old throttle body to see if i could identify the root cause of the problem.as an experienced electronic engineer, i have a better shot at doing this than many.upon disassembly, i noticed black discoloration on the connector to the motor that controls the throttle.the material of that connector appears to be tin or a tin alloy; the black is likely an oxide that can cause an open circuit.this looks like a phenomenon called 'fretting' that can occur in connectors when vibration is present.the usual fix is to change to gold plated contacts, and/or ensure continued lubrication of the contacts.i've attached an article on 'fretting' for reference.based on the fact that this problem was not permanently fixed by the first replacement of the throttle body, it appears that ford has not implemented a design change to manage it.it's likely that the problem will recur and require repeated fixes.this is dangerous in traffic because it's not always possible to coast to a safe location with a non-functioning engine.
We had a throttle body issue this summer and had to have itreplaced and towed.during driving, we lost all power, major safety issue!when i asked ford about it, they said they didn't know about the issue; however they issued several recalls regarding this.this truck isn't in the recall, which makes no sense.it is evident that ford has a major issue with their throttle bodiesi have spoken with ford several times, they are not helpful and are refusing to pay for this.
While in motion, at highway speeds on a highway and sometimes slower speeds on town streets too, my truck would suddenly start flashing multiple errors and the throttle would immediately be unresponsive. In 1 second i was dead in the water. The truck would immediately start slowing down due to lack of propulsion and the engine would have a very low rough idle. The throttle would not work at any speed. The only way to recover control of propulsion was to come to a complete stop right where the problem occurred (very dangerous), turn off the vehicle and then restart the vehicle. After restart the problem would completely disappear. Until it happened again. This problem appeared 3 times in 1 week, all while the vehicle was traveling uphill. I was lucky to not be in traffic at the time. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they reported the vehicle needed a new throttle body, and that this issue was common and that a recall was not in place. The repair cost is over $500.
While driving on the freeway the truck completely lost throttle, note electrical stayed and engine idled roughly during this time. Had to emergently pull to the side of the freeway while the truck coasted nearly causing several accidents and people swerved around the truck. Since this initial incident this has happened approximately 15 times on various roads and in intersections. Dealership is saying that some of the electronic throttle bodies (tsb 16-0139) were defective which causes this issue.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 30 mph, the vehicle stalled and failed to accelerate. The contact stated that the failure also occurred while driving 60 mph. The vehicle was taken to jim bass ford (4032 w houston harte expy, san angelo, tx 76901, (325) 949-4621) where it was diagnosed that the failure was due to the throttle body. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 70,300.
2015 ford f-150. Consumer writes in regards to several defects with vehicle. *ldthe consumer stated there were multiple instances where the vehicle stalled, the check engine light illuminated. The steering gear, steering shaft, steering wheel needed to be replaced. The consumer blew the horn and a whole was punctured in the steering wheel. The wrench light illuminated. There was a fluid leak from the rear left axle. The shutter grille actuator became unplugged.
Engine stalls at idle in park and at stop lights. Sometimes it's bad and sometimes not as much or can go days without doing it.
I purchased my 2015 f150 about a year ago. There is a tsb for a valve on the top of the gas tank. Tsb states emission related with warranty covered. Ford stating it was built in canada so don't have to warranty in america. Vehicle cuts out after stopping and then accelerating. How can ford sell a vehicle to be used in america with a known issue and not be liable? this is a safety concern. Tsb 15-0171 engine code p2450.. Part number involved is same on canada or american vehicles.
While driving on the freeway the vehicle shuts down and the hill descent control light came on and then the engine light. This happened 3 times, i took it to autozone to be tested and the error code - p2112 throttle actuator control system- throttle body needs to be changed. After researching, i came to find out this is happening to thousands of ford vehicles. Ford had a recall on some vehicles for this, but if your make and model was not on there they will not cover the cost. Ford knows this is a dangerous problem, but will not issue a recall. It is only a matter of time (if not happened already) that there will be a fatality due to this body throttle issue. We as consumers should not have to worry about our vehicle randomly dying on the roads, worry about killing someone else or our own families just to commute. Ford should be ashamed of themselves.
Vehicle suddenly lost power while driving in traffic.display slowed traction control malfunction, hill assist malfunction and engine trouble light illuminated.loss of power steering and brakes.once vehicle was shut off it then restarted a minute later as if nothing happened.
Caught on fire not running. In the driveway.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that after driving the vehicle for several hours, there was an abnormal exhaust odor in the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure was more evident in warmer climates after the vehicle was driven for more than an hour and a half. The vehicle was first taken to matthews currie ford located at 130 n tamiami trail, nokomis, fl 34275, (800)248-2378 to be diagnosed. The mechanic was able to pinpoint a pinhole sized leak however,when the vehicle was taken to nick abraham elyria ford located at 1115 e broad st, elyria, oh 44035, (440) 366-3673, the mechanic was unable to pinpoint a location for the possible exhaust leak. The contact was informed that no repairs would be made if the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted or informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 59,500.
The engine idles very low to were it shuts of at a stop light.
Brakes went out while driving. Brake fluid keeps disappearing. Brake fluid has leaked into the intake and caused massive amounts of smoke from the exhaust, the master cylinder failed at only 42k miles.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle suddenly decelerated and would not gain speed when the accelerator pedal was depressed. During the failure, the messages and warning indicators for the hill start not available, traction control, and check engine displayed and illuminated. After shutting the engine off and back on, the vehicle operated normally; however, the failure recurred two days later. The vehicle was taken to jemmims anderson ford in boerne, tx where it was diagnosed that the throttle body was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 47,000.
The contact owned a 2015 ford f-150. After 15 minutes of being parked in a parking lot, the vehicle caught fire around the front end. The failure occurred without warning. The fire department extinguished the fire. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was destroyed. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 25,000.
Oil pan repair was unsuccessful. Began leaking 17,000 miles after initial warranty repair. Truck currently has 71,000 miles. 2nd issue is paint over windshield is peeling. It appears tape was not removed and primer did not adhere.
The engine has repeatedly had cylinder misfires over the past 100,00 miles and 2 years.it's happened many times with different cylinders.replacing the coilpack resolves the issue but it returns after a few weeks.this appears to be the moisture problem with the turbo intercooler that already has several reports.this occurs when the vehicle is in motion and usually while accelerating.it happens most often during wet conditions.when this happens, there is a loss of power and the vehicle slows considerably.this is very dangerous in heavy traffic or when pulling into traffic.
Truck shudders as transmission torque converter clutch attempts to lock up in third and fifth gear at light throttle position when shifting upward. This vehicle has the 2.7l engine with the auto stop/start feature. With this feature disabledthe engine attempts to stall after stopping as if the feature is trying to override the off switch.after coming to a rolling stop and then trying to accelerate into traffic the engine will bog down and then a split second later feel as if it is going to full throttle without me depressing the throttle further. The engine speed surges when attempting to lightly accelerate and maintain speed with the flow of traffic.-ford needs to give owners the option to turn off the auto stop/start permanently.i was not informed this feature could not be removed when i purchased this vehicle. The dealer attempted to shut it off and only succeeded in disabling the remote start feature. I will never buy another vehicle with the auto stop/start annoyance.
In early september of 2019, i was driving my2015 ford f-150 on a major highway at about 65 mph.suddenly, the vehicle stalled and lost all power as the dashboard lite up with some kind of traction warning.i drifted to the side of the road and put it in parked.the whole vehicle shook significantly at this point.i turned the vehicle off and waited about 2minutes.i started the truck up and went on my way with no problem.(note:this incident was a serious safety issue as i was on a major roadway in heavy traffic.my 10 and 8 year old grandchildren were in the back seat).a few weeks and a couple hundred miles later, i was on a narrow mountain road going about 45 mph when the exact same thing happened.i took the truck to the ford dealer after both occurrences, but they could not find anything wrong with it, and said there was nothing they could do.i'm reluctant to drive it as this situation could cause an accident.it only has 42,000miles on it and i use it to tow my travel trailer.i was not towing the trailer when these incidents occurred.i saw on your web site that several other people have had similar issues with the ford f-150.is there anything i can do about this?note that i bought the truck new in 2015 from the same dealer that i took it to for service.

On 2/23/2017 while driving 50-55 mph on an expressway, the vehicle throttle became unresponsive.the tachometer still showed about 1,000 rpms, dash lights began illuminating, advancetrac was disabled, hill start assist was disabled, the wrench light enabled and a check manual light enabled.there also was a hard shift or clunk sound that came from the transmission.after shifting the truck into neutral while coasting, i attempted to turn off and restart the engine.engine successfully restarted, but the throttle remained unresponsive and all warning lights mentioned above returned.i pulled the truck safely to the side of the highway, and attempted to restart again.this time the engine sputtered and then i turned it off.next i removed the key, opened the door, closed the door, locked the truck, waited for the accessory lights to turn off, unlocked the truck, opened and closed the door and then restarted, and the truck seemed to clear the problem.i took the truck to the dealer and they later told me the truck is not storing any error codes in it's memory.
I have a 2015 f150 king ranch with the 3.5l ecoboost. It has 41,000 miles and never had an issue until yesterday morning and today around lunch. This was from yesterday 10/23/17:hill descent control faultservice advancetrachill start assist not availablei was pulling out onto a highway and the truck began shaking violently, moving very slow with no acceleration, power steering was lost, and the dashboard was showing all the above errors. Luckily there were no vehicles coming when i entered the highway and there was a place to safely pull off the highway. The truck continues to idle rough and shake violently. And today 10/24/17:i was driving down the interstate at 70 mph when the truck did the same thing as yesterday morning. I was able to pull off the side of the highway and shut off the motor. Once i restarted the engine, i was able to get it to the local ford dealership. They say they have no idea why it would be doing this and have not heard anything from ford or seen this in other f150's they have serviced. Update: the dealership claims the fix is in a faulty electronic throttle body and they replaced it at a whopping price of $770. A simple google search shows ford has issues with etb's across vehicles of all classes and knows about it. In fact, some consumers seem to be involved in lawsuits against ford because of their unwillingness to issue a recall before someone is fatally injured. These were scary, scary situations with my vehicle and thank god my wife and kids were not with me. There is obviously an issue and ford needs to correct it at their expense.
Truck went into limp mode after stopping for a red light. This happened twice one day. Dealership said they replaced the throttle body assembly. When in limp it took forever to get through the intersection,long enough that the light changed back to red.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 80 mph, the vehicle shook violently and lost power. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the electronic throttle body failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was then taken to team ford lincoln (5445 drexel rd, las vegas, nv 89130) where the diagnosis was confirmed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the contact should keep his receipts in case of potential reimbursement. The approximate failure mileage was 79,000.
Throttle body failed causing the truck to enter limp mode several times while driving almost causing a crash by being rear ended by oncoming traffic when trying to enter a hwy or interstate hwy.multiple electronic module failures since new. Truck is a death trap.
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 consumerthousands 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 prevented damaging the other critical parts.ford has put a lot of these vehicles on the road with the fuel efficiency new engineering as a major marketing tool. I fear the vehicle may have been rushed to production with inherent flaws that could be a danger to owners and the public.
Driving on freeway at 70 mph when all of a sudden vehicle enters limp mode which decelerates to 30 mph in the left lane - car in back of me had to slam on brakes and swerve to avoid hitting me. The wrench and limp mode warning lights illuminated. I was able to get to the shoulder and restart the vehicle. My truck did not regain accerlation and i had to have a tow truck take it to the dealer - i found out today it was the throttle body which sounds as if this a very common issue but with no recalls. I can't imagine what would have happened if that little car in back of me would have rear ended me, he would have been killed for sure.
My truck on multiple occasions was driving than immediately lost power and shut off after sending it to the dealership and them replacing the throttle body it was still doing this with a rattle noise. It got to the point where my truck at 52,000 miles did this exact thing again and blew white smoke and a hole now is in the oil pan.
At times my 2015 f150 loses all power and go to a low power/ "limp mode" setting.cautions received are (1) service advance trac, (2) hill descent control fault, (3) hill start assist not avail, (4) traaction control fault light.when this occurs, the vehicle goes to a very low forward power setting (<5mph), runs extremely rough to the point where the vehicle shakes aggressively.this problem is intermittent in nature, and yesterday was the final straw.this suddent oss of power occurred on a busy road and i nearly got rear ended.i immediately limped off the road and was able to get the vehicle towed to the dealership in castle rock, co.currently i'm standing by for the mechanics diagnosis.of note, i do see several similar write-ups of this problem on the nhtsa site regarding the 2015 f150.ironically, a similar occurrence (ref. Nhstsa id#11083485)happened right up the road from me in castle rock, co (4/5/18).i hope ford is aware of this extremely dangerous, recurring problem within its f150 fleet.
Randomly the hill start assist control error would come up. Additionally, service advance trac error would come up and the truck would go into some sort of limp mode with no acceleration allowed. Finally, the truck started running really rough. All these things would happen while i was in motion and or turning. I have been broken down on the side of the highway 4 separate times now. Everything is really random and can't be replicated. It's done this about 10 times now and the dealer has no idea how to fix it. My truck has been there for over a week with no remedy.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at 70 mph, the vehicle abruptly decelerated. The wrench and limp mode warning lights illuminated while the failure occurred. The contact was able to coast on to the road shoulder and restarted the engine however; the vehicle did not regain acceleration. The vehicle was towed to the dealer whom performed a diagnostic that located a failure code at the throttle body. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 76,000.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact took the vehicle to signature ford lincoln (1960 e main st, owosso, mi 48867, (800) 364-2868) for an oil change and was informed that there was an 80% leakage from the oil pan. There were also additional oil leaks coming from the front cover. The manufacturer offered only a partial refund of $500 for the repairs, but the total repair cost was over $1,800. The manufacturer later offered a $700 refund. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 77,918.
While driving on the highway through town at 35mph lost all acceleration, message on the screen said see manual, service advancetrac, hill descent control fault and collision warning not available. Stopped in the middle of traffic, could not get off the road. Shut vehicle of then on again and drove for half a mile before it did it again. This time i was able to move from traffic and park safelyvehicle will idle but not move. This happened ten times in two days in varying traffic conditions
Went into 'limp mode'. Advance track, hill descent warnings. Wouldn't throttle. Stopped going downhill. Known throttle block problem.
Truck hit a utility pole in the median while traveling west on barbara jordan blvd at lancaster dr.it spun around, and landed on the east bound side of barbara jordan blvd at lancaster dr. The airbags never deployed.
On friday 10/28 while driving down the interstate at about 55 miles/hour at approximately 6:30pm with vehicles ahead of and behind my truck, the vehicle began to give a number of check engine alerts, at which time the engine rpms dropped to very low levels and began to stall and the accelerator no longer responded.had truck towed to the nearest dealership within the hour.i was very lucky in this situation, for had i been in a construction area or on a bridge, the situation could have been much worse.this same situation occurred on the evening of 10/2 while driving 40mph down a state road near my home and according to the dealer who attended to the issue, the brake module had failed which caused the symptoms to arise.in that instance, the accelerate failed to respond and the engine began to stall, which it did when i pulled to the side of the road.they replaced the module a few days later.in addition, the driver side door vibrates and does not latch properly.two dealers have failed to resolve this issue to date and i believe it is a safety concern that has largely been dismissed by the service technicians and dealerships involved.despite numerous documented attempts to resolve this issue with ford customer service, they have ignored this concern, have failed to respond to me in a timely manner, and declined a buyback request.i am submitting lemon law documentation for the vehicle during the week of october 31.i have spent hundreds of dollars on rental vehicles during attempted repairs to the doors and the brake module since ford claims they will not cover the cost of rental vehicles during warranty repairs.repair documentation attached pertains to repairs for 10/2 occurrence since the dealership has not yet had an opportunity to inspect my vehicle since it was dropped off yesterday evening.i will gladly provide info once received.
I was driving on a city street at about 30mph up a slight incline when the truck just seem to shut off. But it didn't die, the engine was still running but barely.it was running very rough, like miss firing on several cylinders. It would not accelerate, no change of engine sound or power, the throttle was totally unresponsive.it also felt as if the brakes were being applied slightly. A message came on the dash saying something about hill assist and another wrench message. I had no chose but to pull over in traffic before it quit. This was on or about july 18 then again today on july 26. This time i was one a city street down to one lane due to construction.i was barely able to make it to a turn off before it totally quit moving, with traffic backed up behind me. I shut off the engine to let the computer reboot and got a message that hill assist was now off. After a longer than normal crank time it started and ran ok. I called stivers ford to make an appointment and was told it was probablya fluke, and wait and see if it did it again. I now have an appointment for august 4 to have it checked. I went on google after the first time and found many complaints about the same situations, but with no fixes. If this were to happen under the right circumstances it could be very serious. I'm a recently retired auto technician , and shop owner of 48 years. I understand the difficulty in finding intermittent failures. But after reading all the same symtoms in ford pickups for years it seems there should be more done from the manufacturer to address this problem.
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.
When truck sits overnight and i start it , it emits a bluish white smoke for 5-15 seconds.i understand there is a recall on this and the brake master cylinder can leak into the booster ,but my vehicle vin number is not included.is my vehicle safe to drive?
Floored throttle to pass slower traffic on highway and engine did not return to normal rpm. Instead, the engine continued run at 4,000 rpm until i was able to bring vehicle to a stop and use key to turn off engine. Upon restarting all was normal.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 75 mph, a rattling noise was detected and the vehicle vibrated violently while decreasing in speed. The downhill descent control active warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to summerville ford (9700 dorchester rd, summerville, sc 29485, (877) 477-1434) where it was diagnosed that the throttle body needed to be replaced and reprogrammed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000.
Throttle body failure - 2015, f150 in motion, stopping for red light. Following red light truck had minimal power, just enough tolimp to side of road. Thankfully not in atlanta, ga traffic but dayton, tn traffic. Turned vehicle off and restarted engine and drove 2 blocks to ford dealership "service department" where i purchased the new f150 xl 6 months earlier (12,000 miles). Told service manager wrench light appeared along with advance trac warning light. Service technicians unable to duplicate problem on computer or test drives. Even though they had seen the same problem before "ford motor company " would not allow them to repair it unless they were able to duplicate the problem. I contacted regional service manager for east tennessee, i stated to her this was not a local dealership problem, financial problem or was it a warranty problem (12k of 36k). This was a safety problem. Again she stated if they couldn't duplicate it by driving or computer diagnostic test they couldn't fix it. I also spoke to her superior he apologized but they cannot fix a problem they cannotduplicate. After threatening a to contact my lawyer, which did not phase her. I picked up my truck and was heading to another local dealership to trade it in, because ford said their was not a problem with it. When it "duplicated" the same problem within 15 minutes of leaving the dealership. It is now back at the dealership, after a technician was sent to hook up a computer while vehicle was running along side the road. Had to use road side assistance to get back. Will never purchase another ford. My belief after reading other post on this site ford does not care about customer satisfaction or safety.
Ll have to do with the crankshaft / camshaft sensors. I did some research online and it is said that ford never fixed this problem. Apparently it has happened to many, many ford owners.
The first time i noticed the problem was when i went to pass another vehicle. I did a hard acceleration to pass and my 2015 f150 3.5 ecoboost engine stalled in the passing lane on a 2 lane highway. I was doing 45 mph. I immediately got back into my lane behind the vehicle i was passing. After that incident i have occasionally accelerated hard to see if the engine would stall. Sometimes it would stall and sometimes it would not. I took it back to the ford dealer and they replaced the throttle pack but it still stalls. They are at a loss on what is causing this erratic acceleration problem. They say they have not had any service bulletins from ford relating to this. This happened not long after i purchased the vehicle with less than 2000 miles on it. I now have 18000 miles on it and this problem has been ongoing since i bought it. The dealer and i have been waiting to see if ford will offer a solution but so far they have done nothing.
The issues started around mid july 2016 with about 11-12k miles.i was turning onto a side road where doing maybe 10 mph and the engine stalled, it restarted while in motion and i continued. The hill start assist and advance trac warning lights came on. Later that week it happened repeatedly. The dealership here in town (not where i bought it) looked at it for a few days, they thought it was because of, "all the after market stuff (radio etc) i had (professionally) installed". They believed it was the power converter so they replaced the converter when it came in (the 110v converter) i got my stereo stuff reconnected and kept driving it. Then the engine would not stall, but the warning lights would flash advance trac and hill assist. After a few days, it began to stall again, almost getting me hit pulling onto a road with 50mph traffic. The truck died, and wouldn't "restart" itself. So here i am parked on a two multilane 50mph roadway trying to start my truck without getting killed. It also happened again while pulling off this same road into a side street with a big ass rv coming at me, i was able to coast into the side street and then restart the truck. I brought the truck back in and they said that it might be the throttle body. So, i got my truck back today with the throttle body replaced. I go to drive away and my head unit/ display will not illuminate properly. I thought it was dimmed, but it wasn't. So i drive in a circle to bring it back and it illuminates like it should. So i leave and i drive back down the main 50 mph road and while accelerating away from a stop light there, the advance trac and hill assist lights flash on again. I take it right back and it is now there getting looked at again.
New 2015 f150, accelerates and decelerates on its own. Brakes create loud noise. Wiring harness as it relates to the shifting of the truck was replaced within the first six months as well. Auto off frequently refuses to restart. Loss of complete power on highway.
Loss of engine power while driving, codehill assist not available,,sevice advance trac and service engine light comes on
2015 ford f-150 ecoboost, bought april 2018 with approx. 67,000 miles, currently at approx. 75,000 miles.i am reporting the sudden loss of accelerating power as the vehicle shudders and stalls both when moving with traffic or accelerating to enter or move with traffic. Multiple warning messages including the wrench light flash in the dash message area as the engine slows to idle with no ability to accelerate and comes to a stuttering stop. The first occurrence was three weeks ago and has happened no less than six time since - twice while accelerating onto the freeway (very busy, very fast traffic) and twice while crossing or turning in multi-lane intersections from stopped. Four of the six times resulted in my vehicle dying in and obstructing traffic with and me barely getting to the side of the road without an accident. I now shift to neutral to let momentum move the vehicle as i worm through traffic to the side of the road.shutting off and restarting the engine clears or resets the message and sometimes "downhill assist not available" with the check engine light comes on. The check engine light has both stayed on or shut off on restart. I can then drive on the vehicle's own power, though the problem has repeated as soon as two minutes later, or not for days. I have not had to be towed and no accidents have occurred. The north carolina consumer's council filed a lawsuit against ford in 2015 which was settled with ford offering an extended warranty only on the etb (electronic throttle body) of certain model vehicles - all with the ecoboost engine, and multiple customer service actions (csa's) that have since expired. A few minutes on the ford forums online and it is apparent that this is a widespread problem with the ecoboost engine, and ford has offered several bandaids, but none until after the etb has failed and lives been endangered.
Sounds like an exhaust leak near the turbo possibly at the manifold. It is very loud and can tell there is a significant loss of power.
My wife was driving vehicle and dash started flashing "hill start assist not available", "service advanced trac" and the wrench icon started displaying on console.vehicle vibrated heavily slowed down in a "cripple" mode no matter how hard gas pedal was pressed.she pulled over, turned the ignition off and waited 5+ minutes before restarting.it re-started with engine light lit.in order to get it to dealer, she had to drive approximately 15 miles.vehicle drove ok for a bit and then exhibited similar behavior 4 more times, including once going up the conejo grade between camarillo and newbury park where a big rig had to take evasive action to avoid hitting her when the ford f150 suddenly and uncontrollably slowed down.had the semi driving not been paying attention, he could have easily hit her.ford dealer diagnosed as bad throttle body on 11/2/2020same vehicle had exhibited brake loss due to faulty master cylinder (now a recall) in august of 2019.
Engine caught fire while driving on highway.
Throttle body problem at 36,999 miles. Went into "limp" mode with no warning while driving normally in a 45 mph street with busy traffic. I was very lucky it did not cause an accident.
My 2015 3.5 f150 has been experiencing sudden downshifting at random times. Typically, it happens once every hundred miles or so and takes the gears from 5 or 6 all the way to 1 or 2 gear at highway speeds. It is scary especially since we are supposed to be pulling a camper across the west for a few months.first the dealership said that it was a throttle body issue so i replaced that. Now they are saying that it is spark plugs. Apparently, four out of six misfire at the same time randomly which they said would cause the downshift. However, i just had them replaced with new boots three months ago. The issue did start after a dealer transflush but i do not know if it is a coincidence or not.
When accelerating, about 90% of the time the vehicle will get warnings for "hill descent control fault" and "advance track service". When this happens, the vehicle will not accelerate anymore and starts slowing down. This has happened to me twice getting onto the interstate in the past month but luckily no vehicles were coming up behind me. This is a huge safety issue though that ford needs to recognize and fix. The dealership said they have no idea what is causing it but everyone online says that it's likely to be the steering rack. Recall the steering rack because this has apparently happened to a lot of people.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While making a right turn at a stop sign, the vehicle experienced stalling, a loss of engine power, and severe vibration. All of the vehicle's warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to folsom lake ford where it was diagnosed that the throttle body caused the vehicle to go into limp home mode and would need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the vehicle experienced a leaking driver side turbo and a blown solenoid. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and started the process of vehicle buy back. The failure mileage was approximately 52,000.
I would like to highlight safety concern on ford f-150 intake throttle failures. I believe there has been a recall on this part for a different s/n range of ford f-150. This vin was not in the list. When this fails, you lose all power and truck goes into neutral. Was towing loaded trailer in 4 lanes of high speed interstate city driving. Almost was in serious accident. Ford customer service did nothing or indicate that they were going to look at s/n range impacted.i am a chief engineer at caterpillar. I understand the business of effective s/n and what is included in mandatory recalls. Their lack of action is a concern.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While the vehicle was stopped or parked, the vehicle began to leak coolant without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the radiator failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 63,215.
Sounds like an exhaust leak near the turbo possibly at the manifold. It is very loud and can tell there is a significant loss of power.
Adaptive cruise control was set and engaged on vehicle at 75 mph.my vehicle was traveling on inside lane of four lane divided highway and came up on slightly slower vehicle traveling in the same lane at around 70 mph.my vehicle slowed down and tracked the other vehicle for about a mile before coming up on a slower moving tractor trailer truck in the outside lane. As the vehicle in front on my truck passed the tractor trailer on the inside lane, it moved over in front of the tractor trailer to the outside lane to allow me to pass.instead on speeding up to 75 mph, my truck started to brake before i disengaged the cruise control (around 65 mph).at that time, i was located beside the tractor trailer near the back of the trailer.a vehicle following me had to brake due my truck unexpected braking and slow down.
Adaptive cuisse controlfalsely detects potential collision when passing semitruck (18-wheeler) on interstate/freeway highways as speed of 70mhp. The brakes are automatically applied and collision warning message goes off in the dashboard center screen.this happens very frequently when passing semitruck, to the point that i either disable the cruise or get ready to punch the accelerator in order to prevent a rear-end accident in case someone behind me.
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.
While the cruise is set and traveling on the interstate, in this case 70mph, when i pass an 18 wheeler the adaptive cruise control senses an imminent collision while passing the 18 wheeler in the left travel lane.the adaptive cruise immediately alerts and engages the brakes.fortunately, this has not yet resulted in a rear end collision in my case however i'm sure at some point it will with owners of these vehicles.this has happened twice since i purchased the f150 in january(2015) and both occurrences happened while passing a tanker truck specifically and while in the left lane- tanker truck was in the right lane traveling at a slower speed perhaps around 60-65mph.this defect to me appears to be very dangerous because if my f150 engages the brakes for no reason and there were to be cars behind me a rear end accident could likely occur on the interstate.ford has been very slow in responding to this safety concern and has not came up with a fix for this issue.many on internet are voicing concern however are told by dealers that the system is functioning as designed and sent on their way.
When driving at night in the far left lane going 72 mph with the adaptive cruise control on, the truck randomly slammed on the brakes and the red crash indicator flashed although there was nothing in front of the truck.if someone was behind me, it is likely they would have rear ended my vehicle. There seems to be a defect in the auto cruise control,although ford believes this behavior is normal.
2015 ford f-150.consumer writes in regards to airbag problems, ignition problems and vehicle tires issues.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.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that her middle brake light located in the center of the rear window had started to melt due to the bulb overheating inside the brake light. The contact stated that the headliner had been damaged due to the melting brake light. The contact took the vehicle to kenny ross ford(104 black hill rd, adamsburg, pa 15611) where she was informed that they could only replace the light bulb with the same type of lightbulb that was originally placed inside the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure where they gave her a case number, they offered no further assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 31,000.
Any modern vehicle with a "virtual gauge cluster" (ie no actual gauges w/ backlight) automatically has the gauge cluster lit up. This poses fatal consequences at night when the driver doesn't realize that their headlights aren't on, because their gauge cluster is already pre-illuminated. I have nearly been run over three times by other cars driving without their headlights on, but with a bright virtual gauge cluster. Vehicle manufacturers need to find a way to use ambient-light-sensors to turn the gauge cluster lighting off in low light situations, so that it prompts the driver to turn the headlights on in order to be able to read the gauges....and not hit any pedestrians, bicyclists, or other vehicles.
Low beam headlights incredibly dim. The fog lights appear to put out more light than the low beam headlights. I seriously thought the headlights weren't on they were so dim. At 60 mph, the driver is over driving the amount of light coming from the low beam headlights. Very dangerous to drive the f150mat night! i called the local ford dealer to ask if there are any brighter bulbs and they said no and to look at after market products. However, after spending over $50,000 for a new truck, ford should be responsible for getting the headlights to work properly.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that the rear cab lights overheated and the lens melted off. The contact purchased the vehicle one month ago. The contact called al sprizter ford (3737 state rd, cuyahoga falls, oh 44223, (330) 325-4195), but they could not determine the cause of the failure. The dealer stated that there was no recall; therefore, the contact may be responsible for the repair costs. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 42,000.
Truck has led tail lights which produce poor illumination especially in reduced visibility driving conditions.other drivers report they can barely see my truck when driving in rain or snow.brake/turn lights are fine, it is just the rear tail lights that are a safety issue.
The "third brake light" is melting due to excess heat put off by the bulbs.not only is the housing melting but it has allowed large amounts of condensation in when it rains. This problem was first noticed roughly a year ago but continues to get worse. Ford not only wants to charge me for a repair but they plan to use the same part which i have personally seen with the same issue in about a dozen 2015 f150s as well as read about it in various forums online effecting countless 2015 f150 owners. I have photos that date back to over a year ago that show the progression of the issue over time. My fear is that with time it may cause an even bigger issue by allowing water to come in and even be a potential fire hazard.
Vehicle was stationary in parking lot. Truck bed illumination lights on third brake light assembly over heated and melted third brake light assembly. The lights come on when the doors are open, and there is no way to turn them off without closing the doors.
April 26, 2017 the following components malfunctioned simultaneously when returning to truck from shopping: running boards would not deploy or retract; airbag(s) warning light on dash was lit; climate control system, both heat and cooling was out of service; front windows would not respond to controls; seat comfort functions did not work; mirror adjustment and retraction inoperable; back-up system and warnings inoperable; cross traffic system fault; blind spot warning error. Wiring harnesses replaces and picked truck up may 12th 2017. That evening while driving with a trailer, a message appeared concerning the trailer being disconnected. That disappeared and then the following happened: warning messages began to appear on the driver's display screen saying, 'your vehicle is not in park', 'check manual', 'downhill assist not operational'. Then the lights went out, the truck lost power (the engine was still running), it shifted into downhill assist, front windows didn't work, passenger seat moved by itself, driver's seat began to go back as if the truck was turned off, then it returned to driving position, the sync display went dead and came back on, the driver's display shut down and came back on. All these things continued to repeat as bells sounded and i limped 5 miles back to my son's house. Same problems exhibited when son took truck to the dealer the following am without trailer. Another harness replaced. Picked up truck and drove without incident about 800 miles. When starting truck, trailer message reoccurred. There was no trailer attached. Two days later after being parked, all the 1st set of failures reoccurred. Running boards, ac-heat, air bags, windows, mirrors, cross traffic system, blind spot warning were all inoperable.
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.
Since june 2018 i began to notice a smell inside the cabin of my truck.the smell can be described as a wet gym sock and seemed to come around when i used the a/c.i took the truck into my local ford dealership to see if they could locate the source of the smell.they thought it was coming from my a/c unit and checked the drain hose and found nothing, but said it was probably mildew in the house.they sprayed the hose with a disinfectant and it seemed to stop the odor.in august the smell returned and i began to notice that the smell was very strong when running the a/c when it was raining or after it had just rained.i contacted my local ford dealership again and told them was i was noticing and asked if that would help pinpoint the cause.they related they would look into it and eventually called in september and said that they could not diagnose the problem but wanted to vehicle.i again took the truck into ford who finally located the problem, the third brake light.they explained that the brake light was allowing water to get in and travel into the plastic tube that goes into my vehicle and down to the rear right seat.the plastic tube hold the wiring for the third brake light.the technician related that when he felt underneath the floor my carpet was soaked.they eventually peeled back my carpet and cleaned it up using a dehumidifier and detailing services.they then replaced the third brake.none of the above was covered under warranty and had to pay all costs though it sounds to me that the 2015 ford has the same third brake light issue as the 2009 ford.my service manager related that they have been receiving multiple calls regarding same issue being causedby the third brake light or sunroof in f150s.
The image in the driver side rear view is distorted into dual or blurred image. It is difficult to capture while moving, but is, escalated when multiple vehicles and lanes are present. Escalated even further in inclement and night driving conditions. The spot mirror is integrated with the main rearview mirror further distracting the driver from the road ahead as well as points to the same line of horizon that proves to beboth driver and passenger rearview mirrors, making side and rear safety cushion observation ineffective and inefficient. Many citizens install pick up bed truck caps to protect their belongings. The design of these mirrors alone is detrimental to safety observation. Add in defective performance sits on the slope of reckless endangerment. Which brings me to the indented signaling programed into the turn indicators. This indented feature promotes unsafe turning/lane change maneuvers. Using the 100 ft. Rule. It is impossible complete a safe lane change and share the road with other drivers in the time allotted 3 flashes. Three before , three during and three after is pushing a less experienced driver. None the less is the accepted courteous driver rule, not to mention the rule of law. At the very least this mirror should have a warning of poor visual when installing truck cap and dealer should be required to warn prospect thereof. As well as the manufacturer needs to offer an optional application. Safe cars save lives. This photo examines the defect occurring at center angle of mirror. The defect is more pronounced moving towards the edge. But definitely occurs before the line caused by auto dimming film. ( unable to upload photo) but available on request. Update! 5/11/2017 as of now i am allowing fomco to repair and replace this defective mirror. I still believe it to be a safety design flaw and should be removed upon verification of towing intention.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving approximately 70 mph and attempting to overtake a trailer, the forward collision warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle braked unexpectedly while on adaptive cruise control. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer who was unable to diagnose the failure. The technician stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The failure did not recur. The failure mileage was approximately 10,500.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While passing an 18-wheeler on the right side of the road at highway speeds, the adaptive cruise control activated and the collision warning with brake support feature engaged without warning. The failure occurred twice and caused the vehicle to come to a complete stop. The contact felt that the sensors or an electrical fault within the vehicle could be affecting the adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake support, which could cause a crash. The dealer (autonation ford frisco, 6850 tx-121, frisco, tx 75034, 1-(972) 763-5523) was notified and stated that there was no way to replicate the failure without a diagnostic trouble code. The dealer did not test drive the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and advised the contact to call a dealer. The failure mileage was not available.
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 referenced recall # 15v614000.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving 55 mph with cruise control activated, while approaching a parked dump truck, the vehicle applied the brakes independently. The contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated he experienced the failure on three separate occasions. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and the dealer was made aware of the failure. The contact stated he also experienced the vehicle overheating and engine failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with nhtsa campaign number: 15v614000 (forward collision avoidance) however, the vin was not included. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving beside a large vehicle, the vehicle falsely anticipated a collision and independently applied the brakes. The contact stated that the failure occurred while the adaptive cruise control was not activated. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v614000 (forward collision avoidance) and referred the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was approximately 32,000.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving on the highway and approaching a semi-truck, the forward collision avoidance system applied the brakes with the warning light illuminated. The vehicle was previously repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 15v614000 (forward collision avoidance), at akins ford located at 220 w may st, winder, ga 30680. The contact stated that the failure recurred after the recall repair. The dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.*dt
A)when using the adaptive cruise control on interstate, the cruise control periodically resets to a much lower speed for no apparent reason.i have had the cruise set to seventy-five miles per hour on interstate highways and suddenly the cruise resets to thirty-five or forty-five miles per hour. This could become somewhat dangerous if someone is following me and does not notice the sudden reduction in speed. B)i have encountered problems when using the combined systems.for example, in a long line of vehicles approaching a stop sign, the autonomous systems operated efficiently.when the vehicle immediately in front of me leaves the stop sign, my vehicle attempts to accelerate through the stop sign. C)the lane keeping seems to pull hard to the right at various times.it may be due to the striping at interstate highway exits where to right hand lane marking follows the exit and the vehicle seems to attempt to remain centered between the lane markings.the lane keeping feature is very tiring to operate.the system seems to require operator intervention every minute of two so that the system may assure operator vigilance.this continued need to move the steering wheel slightly is extremely tiring. D)speed sign recognition identifies school zone speed signs and reduces the preset speed of the vehicle even when the school zone is not active, such as off hours or holidays.this could become somewhat dangerous if someone is following does not notice the sudden reduction in my speed. E)law requires the vehicle to be at the reduced / posted speed immediately upon passing the sign.since the vehicle requires a few feet to recognize the change in speed limit and slow down, a traffic ticket may result. This has been reported to ford and as a result the local dealer aligned the cameras with no resulting change in performance.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 73 mph with the cruise control activated, the adaptive cruise control was activated and the vehicle stopped abruptly on its own. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving to his destination. The contact associated the failure with nhtsa campaign number: 15v614000 (forward collision avoidance). The vehicle was taken to billingsley ford inc. (located at 3804 w broadway st, ardmore, ok 73401, (580) 226-3300) where it was determined that it needed recalibrating. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 58,000.
While on open freeway with adaptive cruise set at 70mph passed a semi truck the brakes were applied violently.this occured 3 separate times.

The contact checked underneath the vehicle and found fuel on the ground. The vehicle was towed and the driver of the truck diagnosed that the fuel tank's plastic connector was unprotected, which caused the fuel tank plastic connector to fracture. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was towed to an unknown dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 24,600.*as
I have a2015 f 150 with 47,500 miles. I was driving on the highway when the engine just stopped. I was able to get to the shoulder without getting hit. When i tried to start the truck it would crank but wouldn't start. I ended up calling my mechanic he tried to jump it didn't start. He towed the truck to the shop, he ended up changing the fuel pump and fuel pump module. I looked up the problem on the internet and found many other ford truck owners had the same problem. I contacted ford they said there is nothing they can do. My mechanic said the pump should not go bad with the mileage my truck had. What happened could have lead to an accident.
Truck goes into limp mode constant in middle of traffic. Severe safety hazard for all. Throws throttle body code. According to dealer its not covered in yhe recall or whatever ford called it but its gonna get us killed.
When accelerating, about 90% of the time the vehicle will get warnings for "hill descent control fault" and "advance track service". When this happens, the vehicle will not accelerate anymore and starts slowing down. This has happened to me twice getting onto the interstate in the past month but luckily no vehicles were coming up behind me. This is a huge safety issue though that ford needs to recognize and fix. The dealership said they have no idea what is causing it but everyone online says that it's likely to be the steering rack. Recall the steering rack because this has apparently happened to a lot of people.
Went into 'limp mode'. Advance track, hill descent warnings. Wouldn't throttle. Stopped going downhill. Known throttle block problem.
While driving on i76 in pa. Truck lost power with no warning and coasted to a complete stop. It would not restart. Towed to ford dealer who identified control uniot failure and fuel pump failure. Bith had to be repaired. Vehicle had 82850 miles.
2015 ford f-150 ecoboost, bought april 2018 with approx. 67,000 miles, currently at approx. 75,000 miles.i am reporting the sudden loss of accelerating power as the vehicle shudders and stalls both when moving with traffic or accelerating to enter or move with traffic. Multiple warning messages including the wrench light flash in the dash message area as the engine slows to idle with no ability to accelerate and comes to a stuttering stop. The first occurrence was three weeks ago and has happened no less than six time since - twice while accelerating onto the freeway (very busy, very fast traffic) and twice while crossing or turning in multi-lane intersections from stopped. Four of the six times resulted in my vehicle dying in and obstructing traffic with and me barely getting to the side of the road without an accident. I now shift to neutral to let momentum move the vehicle as i worm through traffic to the side of the road.shutting off and restarting the engine clears or resets the message and sometimes "downhill assist not available" with the check engine light comes on. The check engine light has both stayed on or shut off on restart. I can then drive on the vehicle's own power, though the problem has repeated as soon as two minutes later, or not for days. I have not had to be towed and no accidents have occurred. The north carolina consumer's council filed a lawsuit against ford in 2015 which was settled with ford offering an extended warranty only on the etb (electronic throttle body) of certain model vehicles - all with the ecoboost engine, and multiple customer service actions (csa's) that have since expired. A few minutes on the ford forums online and it is apparent that this is a widespread problem with the ecoboost engine, and ford has offered several bandaids, but none until after the etb has failed and lives been endangered.
Fuelcanaster had under 36000 mile deal refuse to repair it under warrenty
Truck engine goes to rough idle while driving, have to shut engine off, restart. Never know when this might happen or at what speed. Local ford dealer unable to find problem.has happened several times
I own a 2015 ford f150. I was driving at 60 mph, the vehicle abruptly decelerated. The wrench and limp mode warning lights illuminated while the failure code p2112 occurred. I had to coast my vehicle on to the road shoulder and restart the engine. I had to stop and restart numerous times before i could make it home,off of a busy highway. When it stalled on me the next day,i had the vehicle towed to the dealer and paid for a diagnostic that located a failure code at the throttle body.
Truck suddenly decelerated while traveling at 70mph.pulled over,turned off truck and turned on again and accelerated onto the freeway.this happened 3 times on the freeway.drove to ford dealership in albuquerque for help.they evaluated and found the throttle body needed replacement.this same part was a safety recall item on our 2010 ford escape.
I've had my truck for just under 2 years and 42,000 and the fuel pump, relay and modular went out.ford is not covering this under warranty. One of these items is on back order.so i feel that this maybe a faulty part.is there anything you can do to look into this.it is a major safety issue.my car just stalled in a parking lot.what if i was on a highway i could have gotten rear ended and killed.please hold ford responsible for this issue.i also dont want to be held responsible for paying for this either.
P0316,p0300 and u0140-00 codes popped up.
We had a throttle body issue this summer and had to have itreplaced and towed.during driving, we lost all power, major safety issue!when i asked ford about it, they said they didn't know about the issue; however they issued several recalls regarding this.this truck isn't in the recall, which makes no sense.it is evident that ford has a major issue with their throttle bodiesi have spoken with ford several times, they are not helpful and are refusing to pay for this.
Truck stalls due to throttle body actuator sticking. Vehicle becomes disabled/stalled and applies the brakes. Occurs without notice at any speed. Occurs on highway, city streets, and dirt roads. Requires throttle body replacement. Similar recalls did occur for the ford throttle body for other models and years (e.g. 13n03 program). Dealer indicates it is not covered under powertrain warranty (although it should be) and costs $600 to replace.
The capless fuel cap flap is allowing air into the tsnk csusing the check engine light to come on. I knownumerousford vechicles having the same problem. I feel ford should recall these problems .
While in motion, at highway speeds on a highway and sometimes slower speeds on town streets too, my truck would suddenly start flashing multiple errors and the throttle would immediately be unresponsive. In 1 second i was dead in the water. The truck would immediately start slowing down due to lack of propulsion and the engine would have a very low rough idle. The throttle would not work at any speed. The only way to recover control of propulsion was to come to a complete stop right where the problem occurred (very dangerous), turn off the vehicle and then restart the vehicle. After restart the problem would completely disappear. Until it happened again. This problem appeared 3 times in 1 week, all while the vehicle was traveling uphill. I was lucky to not be in traffic at the time. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they reported the vehicle needed a new throttle body, and that this issue was common and that a recall was not in place. The repair cost is over $500.
While driving on freeway at approximately 55 mph vehicle suddenly lost power.several emergency lights sequenced on.i realized that engine was still running at idle and that vehicle kept moving at approximately 15 mph.got off road and shut down vehicle and restarted it.same problem existed.at idol speed vehicle would slowly move.pressing accelerator pedal did nothing.ford representative indicates that this is a widespread problem.no info yet on redesigned replacement part.i was told by dealership that the problem is the "throttle body motor assembly". I received no information from ford prior to this incident and do not see a recall.
The fuel pump on the 2015. F150 2.7 l ecoboost is faulty. Ford has recalled all other vehicles with this engine except the f150 model. Why? 2 fuel pumps have gone bad on my f150. After the 3 fuel pump was put in ford also had to replace the pcm so the fuel pump would work. My vehicle was being driven in traffic when the pump failed causing complete loss of power.
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 consumerthousands 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 prevented damaging the other critical parts.ford has put a lot of these vehicles on the road with the fuel efficiency new engineering as a major marketing tool. I fear the vehicle may have been rushed to production with inherent flaws that could be a danger to owners and the public.
While traveling at 65 mph on the interstate, the truck went into "limp mode" and i almost lost total control of the vehicle on both occasions. This happened two times during the same trip. The accelerator wouldn't work, power steering went out, and all stabilization control systems went down. I had to pull over a p2112 code was read from the check engine light. The problem is from a faulty throttle body which many, many consumers have reported. Ford denies responsibility. This truck cost $63,000 and has 40,000 miles on it. The failure of this part is causing widespread risk to drivers and should be forced on ford to replace with a lasting part.
Truck is going into limp mode randomly and idling rough with no throttle response. Getting dtc code p2112, electronic throttle body actuator stuck closed. Thoroughly cleaned throttle body and it is still happening. This happens randomly driving down the road leaving me with no throttle response
While driving the vehicle will go into limp mode and lose power the hill assist light flashes,wrench light comes on, engine light comes on. Doing research there is a throttle body issue but i wasn't aware of it. It very dangerous because you lose power and have no throttle response. This happened several times on city street an highway at speed.
When filling gas tank, station fueling nozzle did not shut off, overflowing truck fill pipe.at next fueling, gas pipe was still full of gas at top flap valve; could not put gas into fuel tank.took vehicle to dealer; who indicated that fuel tank was "collapsed" due to vacuum created by stopped up vent system.fuel tank and accessories being replaced, but dealer charged me for work.safety issue is collapsed fuel tank may break, leak and cause a gasoline fire, at any time.there is a system design flaw, or critical equipment item failure, that would not function properly when tank is overfilled. It is not uncommon that fuel station gas valves on end of station hose fail to shut off when tank is full, so the fuel system design should take this fact into consideration.this is a severe safety hazard which could result in an accident, fire and/or death.
I have a 2015 f150 king ranch with the 3.5l ecoboost. It has 41,000 miles and never had an issue until yesterday morning and today around lunch. This was from yesterday 10/23/17:hill descent control faultservice advancetrachill start assist not availablei was pulling out onto a highway and the truck began shaking violently, moving very slow with no acceleration, power steering was lost, and the dashboard was showing all the above errors. Luckily there were no vehicles coming when i entered the highway and there was a place to safely pull off the highway. The truck continues to idle rough and shake violently. And today 10/24/17:i was driving down the interstate at 70 mph when the truck did the same thing as yesterday morning. I was able to pull off the side of the highway and shut off the motor. Once i restarted the engine, i was able to get it to the local ford dealership. They say they have no idea why it would be doing this and have not heard anything from ford or seen this in other f150's they have serviced. Update: the dealership claims the fix is in a faulty electronic throttle body and they replaced it at a whopping price of $770. A simple google search shows ford has issues with etb's across vehicles of all classes and knows about it. In fact, some consumers seem to be involved in lawsuits against ford because of their unwillingness to issue a recall before someone is fatally injured. These were scary, scary situations with my vehicle and thank god my wife and kids were not with me. There is obviously an issue and ford needs to correct it at their expense.
Vehicle was on i88 westbound in 4:30 rush hour trafficnear naperville, il when the dash lit up, speed dropped dramaticallyand the gas pedal went dead-no response. Engine speed reduced to a rough idle. Had to somehow get to the shoulder to restart engine to get rid of the error. Was fortunate the problem did not recur until next day on side roads. Brought vehicle to willowbrook ford dealer who replaced the throttle body on8/17/2017. Why a service advance trac error message occurs for a fuel problem boggles my mind.
2015 f-150 3.5l ecoboost driving on highway at speeds 60-75mph went to "limp mode" losing all acceleration with warnings "service advance trac" "hill descent control fault" and "hill start assist not available" along with the service wrench light. Resulted having to pull over on interstate 10 with busy traffic, also while in the middle of a traffic light turning left. This has happened 6 times. Ford dealer has diagnosed this as a throttle body issue and will be replaced at my cost
Got on i-95 southdriving 65 mph smelling gasolineopened closed windows turned of and on a/c still smelling gasoline got off the highway at commerical blvd exit . Got out of vehicle to see gasoline pouring down from drivers side rear in front of right rear tire walked about 200 feetdialed 911 contacted police and fire .. Fire truck spread chemicals on floornow truck is in ford to repair the gas leak .. When i have the repair bill i will know the exact part replaced.if the truck would have caught fire i would be dead there is no way to exit a burning vehicle at 65 mph.
I purchased a ford f 150 with 11 miles on it in november 2015.it now has 14,000 miles on it.it has broken down three times for the same issue.it now has it's forth (4) throttle body in it.this is a safety issue.the vehicle goes into a crawl mode. It has occurred while driving on highways.ford needs to replace this vehicle. It's a lemon.
"check brake or check brake controller" appears on dash. Has occured twice in first 8,000 miles. Dealers clear code the brakes seem to be fine. Now " check hill decent" has appeared and truck will not accelerate more than 2-3 mph. This has occured twice in first 8,000 miles on city streets in motion or when starting from a stop light.
I have a 2015 ford f150 2.7 ecoboost with 66,000 miles on it, and my fuel pump has gone bad in it. I have heard from many fellow owners that the same style truck has also had fuel pump failures, most with less miles on them than mine. There is a recall on most of the other ford vehicles for their fuel pumps being at fall.
While in motion truck cycles to full accessory power. Must pull over to shoulder, put into park, and restart engine. Driveways, city streets, hwys, it knows no bounds. This is dangerous!!!!an example of this being larger than just me:https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1458449-accessory-power-question-with-push-button-start.html and numerous other cases out there! this has happened more than 10 times since purchase feb 2015. 10 times or more of near misses with tragedy. Dealership cannot fix because this does not throw an error code.
Driving on an interstate 75 mph when the hillside assist light turned on the dash along with other warning lights and immediately lost all power to the engine requiring a pull off to shoulder.shut off the engine and restarted with no problem, accelerated back to speed and within a few miles the light came on again and lost all power.this happened several more times while attempting to locate a local ford dealer.while waiting at the dealer i searched online and found numerous others have experienced the same issue attributed to a defective throttle body(see attached screenshot).after bringing up the frequency of this issue with the dealer, i was told there is a tsb from ford but no economic relief for the $675 bill since there was not a recall.the dealer stated there was not a recall because this is not a safety issue.i responded that driving 75mph on a busy urban interstate, losing all power, and being forced to find a shoulder immediately is a serious safety issue as one frantically tries to figure out what is happening and searching for a way out of traffic.
My 2015 f150 crew cab loses ability to accelerate. You will be going down road or pulling out and without any warning the check engine lights light up and the gas peddle will do nothing.it's very dangerous while in traffic. The truck only has 45,000 mi on it, done some research and it sounds like i'm not the only one having this problem.
The following has happened multiple times.i am driving in top gear (5th or 6th) at approximately 55 mph.i attempt to pass someone and suddenly lose acceleration as i press the accelerator pedal.the transmission seems to go limp.after a few seconds my acceleration returns.
The vehicle went into "limp mode"
My wife was driving vehicle and dash started flashing "hill start assist not available", "service advanced trac" and the wrench icon started displaying on console.vehicle vibrated heavily slowed down in a "cripple" mode no matter how hard gas pedal was pressed.she pulled over, turned the ignition off and waited 5+ minutes before restarting.it re-started with engine light lit.in order to get it to dealer, she had to drive approximately 15 miles.vehicle drove ok for a bit and then exhibited similar behavior 4 more times, including once going up the conejo grade between camarillo and newbury park where a big rig had to take evasive action to avoid hitting her when the ford f150 suddenly and uncontrollably slowed down.had the semi driving not been paying attention, he could have easily hit her.ford dealer diagnosed as bad throttle body on 11/2/2020same vehicle had exhibited brake loss due to faulty master cylinder (now a recall) in august of 2019.
Vehicle stalls out going down the road. Goes into idle mode and idles rough. Can restart after a complete shutdown and runs good until the next time. Has happened 4 times in the last 2 weeks. A real bad experience while on the interstate. Happened twice on the interstate and twice on a city street.
Electronic throttle body assembly (etb) failed.vehicle has 8206 miles on it.bought brand new.while driving on a fairly untraveled road the engine power was cut and i had to coast to a safe location.the accelerator only allowed for a speed under ~4 mph which i needed to get on the side street.this happened again as i was exciting my driveway which is on a dangerous street due to curves (luckily there were no cars coming from either direction).this has been an issue with ford and mercury vehicles since at least 2010 based on my research.ntsb has failed to have ford recall their vehicles to replace this system.this issue results in (my experience) complete loss of power to the engine.it may also lead to full power to the engine.if either occurs it has a potential to result in injury or death (sudden slowdown in high speed traffic or sudden increase in velocity in an area with pedestrians).i do not understand why the ntsb has not made ford conduct a recall considering the potential danger this may cause.ntsb has known about this issue but has failed to force ford to correct it.the issue appears to have started with the fusion/escape (plus two mercury vehicles) and is now happening in f-150 trucks.i do not know if it is happening in other ford/mercury lines.ford has failed to adequately prepare for their "we'll fix it as it happens" (so much for customer care) and i am now out of a vehicle for at least two weeks.very disappointed in this company as i felt it was worth purchasing an american truck and that ford was the number one world wide.
Vehicle stalled while driving at low speed. Dealer found fuel pump sending unit and module had failed and needed to be replaced.
Code p1450- fuel tank is unable to bleed up fuel tank vacuum, and this has nothing to do with the fuel pressure sensor at the engine. It is a defective fuel tank pressure.due to this defect, the check engine light stays on and a piece now needs to be removed.
This issue has now happened 6 times without showing a pattern. While driving the vehicle completely loses all throttle power and the message center displays 'service advancetrac' 'hill start assist disabled' and the abs and service engine lights illuminate. This has happened on back roads at slower speeds and on highways at 70 mph. Again, all throttle power is lost. This issue has been reported on numerous forums and there have been 2 consensus fixes, replace throttle body and an apparent issue with the tightness of a throttle cable.
Truck unexpectedly lost power while driving on state highway.dash lit up with service advancetrac, hill descent fault, see manual, airbag fault, and the service wrench.immediately went into limp mode.turned engine off, restarted and continued driving.
Truck fault code flashes and truck shuts down into safe mode. Three times it occurred while driving on freeway at 70 mph and the fourth time it happened in an a side road doing 35 mph. Every time the same thing happened, the truck shut down in safe mode showing fault codes. I would stop, it would idle very rough, i was not able to move it as it would not rev or let me increase rpm. I would have to shut off truck, turn it back on, it would reset and drive like normal. Tookto courtesy ford four times to diagnose and they could not find anything, i bought a code ready and the truck went into fault code and safety mode again, the code read p2112. Ford found tsb 16-0139 applied and replaced throttle body and charged me $496.95 for repair. 2015 ford f150 with 58k miles.
Truck intermittently and without warning lost power and went into "limp mode".several error messages appeared on the dashboard including "hill start assist not available", "hill descent control fault", "service advance trac" and "see manual"..the wrench and engine lights also appeared.there would be no throttle response and the engine appeared to be running on 4 out of 6 cylinders.took the truck to have the codes scanned and the following two codes appeared:p2111 throttle actuator control system - stuck open and p2112 throttle actuator control system - stuck closed.took the truck to a ford dealer and was told my vin did not have a throttle body recall but in their opinion, it was a defective throttle body not covered under warranty.i replaced the throttle body with a bbk-1822 throttle body assembly myself.
While traveling on the highway at 70mph, my vehicle went limp, abruptly shook as i pulled over to the shoulder to avoid a collision. My indicator lights lit up like a christmas tree..."hill assist", "service advancetrak" " the "wrench" adn my check engine light remained on.terrified, i got stopped, took the keys out and had it towed to the nearest dealer. Their diagnosis was that it was a throttle body failure. My service manager requested that i call ford customer care. I did that immediately following the diagnosis with my repair being above $650.after a week of research, ford came back and stated that they would not help me out at all. There are recalls for the specific problem including an extended warranty for 10 years and 150,000 miles, however i was told that i could not receive any help for the same part. I experienced a preknow condition with a part on my truck that was faulty with myself to blame. If i had known any of this i would have never purchased the vehicle.
2015 ford f-150 ecoboost, bought april 2018 with approx. 67,000 miles, currently at approx. 75,000 miles. I am reporting the sudden loss of accelerating power as the vehicle shudders and stalls both when moving with traffic or accelerating to enter or move with traffic. Multiple warning messages including the wrench light flash in the dash message area as the engine slows to idle with no ability to accelerate and comes to a stuttering stop. The first occurrence was three weeks ago and has happened no less than six time since - twice while accelerating onto the freeway (very busy, very fast traffic) and twice while crossing or turning in multi-lane intersections from stopped. Four of the six times resulted in my vehicle dying in and obstructing traffic with and me barely getting to the side of the road without an accident. I now shift to neutral to let momentum move the vehicle as i worm through traffic to the side of the road. Shutting off and restarting the engine clears or resets the message and sometimes "downhill assist not available" with the check engine light comes on. The check engine light has both stayed on or shut off on restart. I can then drive on the vehicle's own power, though the problem has repeated as soon as two minutes later, or not for days. I have not had to be towed and no accidents have occurred. The north carolina consumer's council filed a lawsuit against ford in 2015 which was settled with ford offering an extended warranty only on the etb (electronic throttle body) of certain model vehicles - all with the ecoboost engine, and multiple customer service actions (csa's) that have since expired. A few minutes on the ford forums online and it is apparent that this is a widespread problem with the ecoboost engine, and ford has offered several bandaids, but none until after the etb has failed and lives been endangered.
Auto start/stop causing wrench to come up. Seems like transmission has issue keeping proper fuel level to restart at red lights. Causes a hard start.also driver door does not lock and unlock with the other 3 doors.
I purchased my 2015 f150 about a year ago. There is a tsb for a valve on the top of the gas tank. Tsb states emission related with warranty covered. Ford stating it was built in canada so don't have to warranty in america. Vehicle cuts out after stopping and then accelerating. How can ford sell a vehicle to be used in america with a known issue and not be liable? this is a safety concern. Tsb 15-0171 engine code p2450.. Part number involved is same on canada or american vehicles.
While driving vehicle it stalled in middle of street in traffic. It would not restart. Pushed truck to side of road. Had truck towed to dealership. Has bad fuel pump driver module and fuel pump not working properly. Truck has 42,000 miles on it. Ford has already recalled 91,000 vehicles with this issue but not include the f-150.
I just returned from my ford dealership today after my f-150 stopped cold and went into limp mode while i accelerated up a hill on hwy 78 in red lodge, mt.the dash lit up with a hill descent control and several other error messages.this would have been catastrophic if i had been accelerating while passing.the forums are full of similar problems and dealerships know they need to replace the throttle body.this should definitely be a safety recall.
Driving down highway when truck immediately lost power, began shaking violently, with no throttle/acceleration available.the dashboard was showing all the below errors. Hill descent control faultservice advancetrachill start assist not available
Transmission downshifts violently for no reason. At around 20-30 mph and light throttle it feels like you hit a concrete post when this happens. Shakes the whole truck violently
While driving on a two-lane road, my engine went to "limp" mode, no power, rough idle and the dash warning lights (wrench, check service manual etc.) all lit up. No power and costed to the side of the road. Shut off, then vehicle started normally before doing it a 2nd time. Had towed to the ford dealer (ray schultens, the dalles oregon). Diagnosed as faulty throttle body assembly (ford tsb 16-0139) not covered under powertrain warranty but this condition makes the vehicle inherently unsafe with no ability to control engine power.
Defective throttle body caused vehicle to lose power. Engine light on with messages service advanced trac/hill start not available. Truck has 44k miles
Truck went into limp mode after stopping for a red light. This happened twice one day. Dealership said they replaced the throttle body assembly. When in limp it took forever to get through the intersection,long enough that the light changed back to red.

A)when using the adaptive cruise control on interstate, the cruise control periodically resets to a much lower speed for no apparent reason.i have had the cruise set to seventy-five miles per hour on interstate highways and suddenly the cruise resets to thirty-five or forty-five miles per hour. This could become somewhat dangerous if someone is following me and does not notice the sudden reduction in speed. B)i have encountered problems when using the combined systems.for example, in a long line of vehicles approaching a stop sign, the autonomous systems operated efficiently.when the vehicle immediately in front of me leaves the stop sign, my vehicle attempts to accelerate through the stop sign. C)the lane keeping seems to pull hard to the right at various times.it may be due to the striping at interstate highway exits where to right hand lane marking follows the exit and the vehicle seems to attempt to remain centered between the lane markings.the lane keeping feature is very tiring to operate.the system seems to require operator intervention every minute of two so that the system may assure operator vigilance.this continued need to move the steering wheel slightly is extremely tiring. D)speed sign recognition identifies school zone speed signs and reduces the preset speed of the vehicle even when the school zone is not active, such as off hours or holidays.this could become somewhat dangerous if someone is following does not notice the sudden reduction in my speed. E)law requires the vehicle to be at the reduced / posted speed immediately upon passing the sign.since the vehicle requires a few feet to recognize the change in speed limit and slow down, a traffic ticket may result. This has been reported to ford and as a result the local dealer aligned the cameras with no resulting change in performance.

Supercrews rear door locks do not work electronically. Also driver door locks do not work electronically(button or key fob) or manually either inside or with key outside. Also once open, the door will not latch when closed. This happens when the temperature is below freezing. Has only happened stationary and on different days. Leaving the truck run with heat on high allows the doors to lock/latch. This is not an issue with the key lock or door seals freezing as there was no adverse weather other than the cold temperature. Dealer informed me that it happens when the temperature is 22f or colder and that they have more complaints but not enough for a recall. Informed that ford is working on a fix and the parts are currently backorder. Saw online that it looks like this has been an issue with this style truck for over a year.

Door latches freeze during cold weather.can not open doors or can not get doors to close once opened.i have had all recalls and customer satisfaction programs preformed.dealer has no other fix options available from ford.all 2015 f150's exposed to cold climates have the potential for door latches to freeze.for the past three years i have had to drive with door or doors unable to close at times.i don't think a ratchet strap holding doors closed is safe.this is a serious issue that has been continuing for the past three winters.you just never know when the latches will or will not work.

2015 ford f-150. Consumer writes in regards to several defects with vehicle. *ldthe consumer stated there were multiple instances where the vehicle stalled, the check engine light illuminated.

There was a fluid leak from the rear left axle. The shutter grille actuator became unplugged.
My 2015 had roughly 75,000 miles when a noticeable vibration/rmumble could be felt not only by the driver at the wheel but in all passenger seats of a f-150 super crew.the speed was irrelevant,and on highway or in city, the vibration was notably approximate in time bwtween vibration and duration.under extended warranty my ford dealer diagnosed the torque converter and the vehicle is now in for repair while i have a ford loander.we will see if this fixes the problem today is 6 oct 2020.
When i accelerate the engine stutters and loses power.my check engine lighr flashes sometimes and sometimes remains on.the code shows a misfire.i see that the exact same issue happened with previous model year eco-boost trucks.
The powertrain has completely stopped working 3 times, stranding me, and my family in oncoming traffic.after turning the vehicle off, and on, several times, i was able to engage drive, and move the truck out of traffic.the truck has been repaired 3 times for the same defect, but ford refuses to repurchase/replace the vehicle.no one in my family is comfortable riding in, or driving this vehicle.1st time:while attempting to back into my drive way, reverse completely stopped working, stranding me perpendicular to traffic, in the road.2nd time: with another adult, and 3 children in the vehicle, i was driving through an intersection in atlanta, and the rpm's went to 5000, with no movement.we were completely stuck in the dead center of an extremely busy intersection, unable to drive forward, or backward.after several attempts of turning it on, and off, i was able to move from the intersection, in four wheel drive.3rd time: while driving in stop, and go traffic, in atlanta, i was attempting to make a left hand turn, when the same symptoms as before happened.i was unable to move forward, or backward, until a few cycles of turning the car on, and off.i have written e-mails to the ceo, managing director, and customer relations of ford motor co., only to be handed off to a regional customer service person.their answer is that they will stand behind their warranty, and continue to fix the vehicle.i have all the repair files, e-mails sent to all involved, and phone records of the many times i have had to contact the dealership, and ford's customer relations manager.too many to begin any upload.
During the "very random" process of shifting the automatic transmission, from any gear to any gear, the gear does not engage and appears to be in neutral then the engine revs to the highest rpm until i press the brake and put into gear a second time.this happens both while the truck is in motion and when at a stop shifting from reverse to drive.this has happened at least 20 times since i have owned the truck.when this occurs it is unpredictable.it happens both when i am hauling a trailer and when i am not.i haul a small two horse trailer weekly and this happened to me while driving down a steep hill and i downshifted.the truck did not feel like it was under my control.i panic ever time this has happened and the dealership does not seem to have a fix for the problem.
Driving the ford f150 (v6 ecoboost) on a city street (35 mph) it has failed at random times (i've now seen this issue more than 3 times) usually with 3 major failures. These 3 failures (1) engine, transmission, and emissions 2) brakes & suspension 3) restratins & driver assistance) cause the truck to transition to 'limp' mode which can actually be just as hazardous. If i'm turning onto a road with a 55+ mph speed limit i need to accelerate but if this system fails, along with the restraints & driver assistance, this could be a very dangerous and life threatening situation. The reason why is that the restraints & driver assistance goes off now disabling my airbags, etc. And if i now get hit (because now i'm in limp mode going about 7 mph) i have lost a great deal of 'built-in' protection without the airbags. Translate that to driving on a highway and encountering this situation and you can see that loss of life is not out of the question. I've taken the truck back to ford for the warranty work and they say they believe it's an electronic throttle body controller that has gone bad and needs to be replaced but right now it's at least 3 weeks before they can get a replacement part. Compounding this issue is that ford had issued an internal recall for v8's built at the same plant as my v6 ecoboost truck for the same type of issue.
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.
This took 4 attempts and 2 dealers to resolve - ~34k miles- loud grinding/vibration from front left 4x4 hub when driving any speed. The first dealer had the truck for 6 days and claimed they didn't see or hear the problem. The second trip to the dealer they had for a few more days and said they fixed it. On the way home it was obviously not fixed and i turned around and took it back. Again after two days they said it was fixed yet it was not. I then took it to a different dealer and they knew what the problem was and fixed it. They also informed me the service log didn't show any service attempts to the truck so my truck sat for almost two weeks and no work was actually done and i was lied to. Second issue - not resolved. Life of vehicle -wobble/vibration from 4x4 transfer case that intensifies with increased speed. Driving in 4x4 low at all speeds you can feel and see the steering wheel shake, even going as slow as 10mph. The steering wheel, seats and peddles shake as if the tires aren't balanced. I have installed 3 different sets of tires and it still shakes. 2 different tire shops verified the tires are good and the alignment was good. The shaking isn't bad like the death wobble but doesn't feel safe. It shakes enough that my 3 year old gets sick to her stomach from the bouncing.third issue - resolved with my money- at about 45k miles the factory front rotors were worn to the point of replacement due to deep cuts. This occurred with the factory brake pads.
While driving my truck (typically at moderate speeds - 20 - 30mph) it will suddenly reduce rpms to about 500 and the speed will drop to around 5 mph.simultaneously with that occurring i will receive the following warning indicators "hill start assist not available" then another warning "hill descent control fault" then another warning "service advancetrac" then "see manual". This happens typically while accelerating and has occurred on city streets as well as while merging on a highway on ramp (bad situation).the resolution is to turn the car off an let it sit for a second then start it and drive slowly. This is widely documented across the internet with no identified cause and constitutes a severe safety hazard.
Vehicle failed to start due to transmission range sensor fault. Codes p0706, and p0707.
I would like to highlight safety concern on ford f-150 intake throttle failures. I believe there has been a recall on this part for a different s/n range of ford f-150. This vin was not in the list. When this fails, you lose all power and truck goes into neutral. Was towing loaded trailer in 4 lanes of high speed interstate city driving. Almost was in serious accident. Ford customer service did nothing or indicate that they were going to look at s/n range impacted.i am a chief engineer at caterpillar. I understand the business of effective s/n and what is included in mandatory recalls. Their lack of action is a concern.
While driving between speeds of 55-70 mph on the highway, the vehicle entered "limp-mode".the driver notification panel displayed "service traction control, service engine," and displayed an the airbag symbol.vehicle immediately lost the ability to maintain speed or accelerate.the engine remained on with power steering and brakes.after maneuvering out of a travel lane onto the should, the vehicle shuttered at low speeds until the engine was turn-off.after restarting the engine, the notification were removed and had no issues at that time.after nearly 1000 more miles of driving, the vehicle had the same issue while driving approximately 65mph on a highway.the same symptoms were demonstrated.after restarting the vehicle from the shoulder of the highway, the vehicle drove with no issues.ford dealership in seaside california advised that it was a faulty electronic throttle body.the repairs are not covered outside the bumper to bumper warranty.
While in motion, at highway speeds on a highway and sometimes slower speeds on town streets too, my truck would suddenly start flashing multiple errors and the throttle would immediately be unresponsive. In 1 second i was dead in the water. The truck would immediately start slowing down due to lack of propulsion and the engine would have a very low rough idle. The throttle would not work at any speed. The only way to recover control of propulsion was to come to a complete stop right where the problem occurred (very dangerous), turn off the vehicle and then restart the vehicle. After restart the problem would completely disappear. Until it happened again. This problem appeared 3 times in 1 week, all while the vehicle was traveling uphill. I was lucky to not be in traffic at the time. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they reported the vehicle needed a new throttle body, and that this issue was common and that a recall was not in place. The repair cost is over $500.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that while hauling a trailer at a highway rate of speed, the brake pedal had to be slowly applied due to the transmission being slow to change over; there was a loud noise and a hard downshift that continued to progress. A dealer (rapid ford, 1510 s pokegama ave, grand rapids, mn 55744, (218) 326-0551) was notified and the vehicle was to be inspected and diagnosed to determine the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that they had no recall and no recommended solution. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was not available.
This issue has now happened 6 times without showing a pattern. While driving the vehicle completely loses all throttle power and the message center displays 'service advancetrac' 'hill start assist disabled' and the abs and service engine lights illuminate. This has happened on back roads at slower speeds and on highways at 70 mph. Again, all throttle power is lost. This issue has been reported on numerous forums and there have been 2 consensus fixes, replace throttle body and an apparent issue with the tightness of a throttle cable.
Truck is going into limp mode randomly and idling rough with no throttle response. Getting dtc code p2112, electronic throttle body actuator stuck closed. Thoroughly cleaned throttle body and it is still happening. This happens randomly driving down the road leaving me with no throttle response
In normal driving operations, the 6 speed automatic transmission has a incredibly stiff downshift from 5th gear to 4th gear. In slick conditions can cause the truck to lose traction.
I was driving on a city street at about 30mph up a slight incline when the truck just seem to shut off. But it didn't die, the engine was still running but barely.it was running very rough, like miss firing on several cylinders. It would not accelerate, no change of engine sound or power, the throttle was totally unresponsive.it also felt as if the brakes were being applied slightly. A message came on the dash saying something about hill assist and another wrench message. I had no chose but to pull over in traffic before it quit. This was on or about july 18 then again today on july 26. This time i was one a city street down to one lane due to construction.i was barely able to make it to a turn off before it totally quit moving, with traffic backed up behind me. I shut off the engine to let the computer reboot and got a message that hill assist was now off. After a longer than normal crank time it started and ran ok. I called stivers ford to make an appointment and was told it was probablya fluke, and wait and see if it did it again. I now have an appointment for august 4 to have it checked. I went on google after the first time and found many complaints about the same situations, but with no fixes. If this were to happen under the right circumstances it could be very serious. I'm a recently retired auto technician , and shop owner of 48 years. I understand the difficulty in finding intermittent failures. But after reading all the same symtoms in ford pickups for years it seems there should be more done from the manufacturer to address this problem.
Within the first year of use an intermittent (few days a week) vibration + humming / grinding type noise was present when turning (left and right) at low speeds (<25mph).the vibration sometimes cyclic, felt in steering wheel, and is audible from passenger seat.the vibration is distracting and often occurs when slowing down at stoplights or stop signs.the noise & vibration, however, remain when the brakes are not engaged.the noise & vibration exist while in 4x4 as well as 4x2 and 4a.the issue has been verified multiple times by service staff at 2 different dealerships.vehicle has been in for service multiple times (3 prior) and parts have been replaced to attempt to address the issue (front iwe assemblies which were found to have partial leak, front left hub assembly found to have resistance / grinding was replaced).sound / vibration remained after service.vehicle currently in for service 4th time at dealership to address issue again(33 days+ and counting).no resolution yet.
Have reoccurringissues with a clutch slip. I've lost power traction on ice, rain slick surfaces and now off road while going up a steep mountain road. I almost went over a mountain side. Looking online several complaints and videos many are referring to asthe " squawking"it does appear their is a tsb, ford is aware but wont make the recall official. Ive been trying to get the dealership to review and have it serviced but was told they can only service it if they can replicate it. The problem is the problem is random and only under certain road conditions. Youtube has some videos here is one- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0kstma5jau this is exactly what is happening to my vehicle and apparently looking online several hundreds of others.
While driving on the highway through town at 35mph lost all acceleration, message on the screen said see manual, service advancetrac, hill descent control fault and collision warning not available. Stopped in the middle of traffic, could not get off the road. Shut vehicle of then on again and drove for half a mile before it did it again. This time i was able to move from traffic and park safelyvehicle will idle but not move. This happened ten times in two days in varying traffic conditions
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 experiencing the seat back getting extremely hot while using the "cooled seat" feature.i feel this could cause a burn or fire hazard.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle began to decelerate and the engine stalled without warning. The contact stated that a downshift occurred during the failure. The failure was persistent. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v248000 (power train). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.
In early september of 2019, i was driving my2015 ford f-150 on a major highway at about 65 mph.suddenly, the vehicle stalled and lost all power as the dashboard lite up with some kind of traction warning.i drifted to the side of the road and put it in parked.the whole vehicle shook significantly at this point.i turned the vehicle off and waited about 2minutes.i started the truck up and went on my way with no problem.(note:this incident was a serious safety issue as i was on a major roadway in heavy traffic.my 10 and 8 year old grandchildren were in the back seat).a few weeks and a couple hundred miles later, i was on a narrow mountain road going about 45 mph when the exact same thing happened.i took the truck to the ford dealer after both occurrences, but they could not find anything wrong with it, and said there was nothing they could do.i'm reluctant to drive it as this situation could cause an accident.it only has 42,000miles on it and i use it to tow my travel trailer.i was not towing the trailer when these incidents occurred.i saw on your web site that several other people have had similar issues with the ford f-150.is there anything i can do about this?note that i bought the truck new in 2015 from the same dealer that i took it to for service.

Truck shudders as transmission torque converter clutch attempts to lock up in third and fifth gear at light throttle position when shifting upward. This vehicle has the 2.7l engine with the auto stop/start feature. With this feature disabledthe engine attempts to stall after stopping as if the feature is trying to override the off switch.after coming to a rolling stop and then trying to accelerate into traffic the engine will bog down and then a split second later feel as if it is going to full throttle without me depressing the throttle further. The engine speed surges when attempting to lightly accelerate and maintain speed with the flow of traffic.-ford needs to give owners the option to turn off the auto stop/start permanently.i was not informed this feature could not be removed when i purchased this vehicle. The dealer attempted to shut it off and only succeeded in disabling the remote start feature. I will never buy another vehicle with the auto stop/start annoyance.
2015 ford f-150.consumer writes in regards to airbag problems, ignition problems and vehicle tires issues.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.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. After the contact arrived home, parked the vehicle, and entered the house, his son informed him that the vehicle rolled out of the driveway. The contact's wife jumped in the vehicle from the passenger side and managed to depress the brake pedal with her hands. The failure was recorded via the doorbell camera. There was no warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to gus machado ford (1200 w 49th st, hialeah, fl 33012, (305) 820-2560), but they did not diagnose or repair the vehicle since there were no loaner vehicles available. The vehicle was then taken to midway ford (8155 w flagler st, miami, fl 33144, (305) 921-4148) where the secretary refused to schedule an appointment and would not review the video footage. The service manager refused to assist the contact and stated that the failure was related to a transmission error. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle to a dealer. The failure mileage was53,257.
The vehicle was parked, put into park, the key was removed, then the vehicle was locked. Upon returning to the vehicle the vehicle was unlocked, the tailgate was lowered and we proceeded to load a bulky 70 (i'm guessing) pound object into the bed of the truck.as we pushed the object into the bed of the truck the vehicle started to roll.it was rolling more than just the normal few inches that a vehicle in park can sometimes roll.i jumped into the drivers seat (the door had been left ajar) and pressed the brake to stop the truck.the keys were not in the ignition, the gear shift indicated that the vehicle was in park.the extra parking brake was not being used.the parking lot was very level, there was no slope at all.once we had the object we were loading secured we pushed the truck and it was still able to be moved. We were fortunate that the object that we were loading wasn't heavy, becauseit would have been very easy to have an object drop down onto the person(s) loading.there were no injuries to anyone, there were no other vehicles damaged.we just felt that this was something that should be reported.mileage is approximate mileage was 39,824 in june ( 5 months ago)at last oil change.
The transmission drops out of gear and cannot be reengaged until vehicle is stopped shut off and restarted. Problem has increasingly gotten worse from a mild fail to engage after a three point turn around to current condition. Last most dramatic event occurred yesterday while on i-75 near lexington, pulling a travel trailer when it dropped out of sixth gear in a construction zone with a tractor trailer behind the truck. Vehicle went to idle, wrench light appeared. There was no throttle response and transmission would not reengage. Had to pull off the side of the road and shut vehicle down. Upon restarting transmission worked normally until reached destination. Two ford dealerships have not been able to diagnose this problem. Only one error code has appeared, p0731. Transmission fluid was added and code was cleared. Problem was not resolved. Other dealership could not replicate problem with no codes present. Ford customer care has been contacted regarding this issue. Appointment made with local dealer. However, evident they do not know how to resolve.
With no notice or warning while driving on freeway pulling horse trailer at 65 mph engine shut down and would not restart. Hill assist light came on along with skid anti-sway motion and a wrench appeared in the indicator light. Steering wheel became hard to move. Had to cross three lanes of traffic to get to side of road in a construction zone while going uphill towing a horse trailereventually restarted
Vehicle suddenly lost drive/power, then it drive/power came back. Slowed down and i did not have any engine braking, felt like it was in neutral. Once stopped, vehicle could only drive in first gear, at very slow speed and it could not hold a steady speed.
My truck won't start sometimes and turns off in the middle of driving. It happens every few weeks. It shows a message saying the oil i low but when i check the oil, it is fine.
When going up a steep grade pulling a camper i lost power and the check engine light came on when i was on level ground the power power came back in the check engine light went off
Transmission shuttered and shifted awkwardly while driving street/highways. Inspected under vehicle after returning home and found transmission fluid leaking along bottom of truck. Found the cause was corroded auxiliary transmission cooler and corroded lines / fittings at cooler leaking.
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.
2015 f150 2.7l ecoboost 31,908 miles... Upon merging into traffic truck suddenly surges, followed by audible bang then abruptly loses all power "no driving conditions out of the ordinary, not under hard acceleration." warning lights on the dash light up and i have no control of vehicle.luckily i was fortunate to not have much traffic around me at the time and promptly coasted into a deserted parking lot to call my dealership. I am afraid to drive my truck now for fear of causing an accident due to mechanical/electrical failure, i don't want to die and don't want to put anyone it that position either. Dealer replaced the throttle body and says its ok to drive yet the throttle body they used as a replacement is no different then the one that failedhow can that be safe? i'd like them to trust a truck that ceased all essential operations (brakes, acceleration, power steering) with a wife and kids in the vehicle during morning rush hour in the fourth largest city in the united states with speeding drivers who don't pay attention to the road in front of them, then we will talk. This is a huge safety concern and a known problem with many other ford vehicles!!! fix it before someone gets hurt or dies as a result! do the right thing and hold the manufactures responsible its why we have the nhtsa.how is there not a massive recall with the eco boost engines in regards to the faulty throttle body, anything less is unacceptable. Does someone have to die first?
While using the f 150 up a hill, i stopped in top when i tried to change to regular drive it did not wanted to change it told me to move forward it did not do it the second time forward it did it but there was a huge clan when it changed.this is the third time it do it on the same place or condition.
Transmission shifting erratic.
Truck unexpectedly lost power while driving on state highway.dash lit up with service advancetrac, hill descent fault, see manual, airbag fault, and the service wrench.immediately went into limp mode.turned engine off, restarted and continued driving.
While driving my 2015 ford f150 platinum (v6 eco boost) on an hwy (70 mph) the truck encountered loss of pedal response and three warning light as i coasted to a stop in heavy traffic. These three warning lights:hill assist traction control, advanced trac warning indicator, driver assistance indicator. The truck to transition to 'limp' mode (accelerator and power steering doesn't work) which a dangerous and scary. Most 'limp' mode incidents have occurred while descending downhill, has occurred seven times so far. I have taken it to the dealer, and they just clear code and say your good ($130 diagnostic fee). Then the error occurs the same day.with more online research there a massive problem with the throttle body which causes this to happen. There needs to be a ford recall for this before someone gets hurt.
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.
8/5/2016 the vehicle was originally taken in for a loud grinding noise coming from the drive train. The problem was intermittent and the dealer said they couldn't reproduce the problem and reflashed the computer. The vehicle was at highway speeds and it occurred when it was hunting for gears as i passed someone. 5/22/2017 the vehicle was taken back to the dealer for the same problem with a grind noise coming from the drivetrain. I told the dealer it sounded like cards in the spokes of a bicycle. They tried to reflash the computer and the truck made the same noise as soon as i drove away from their lot. I took it right back and told them that it was not fixed and i wanted them to keep it until it was fixed. The vehicle was at highway speeds and it occurred when it was hunting for gears as i passed someone. I picked the vehicle up approximately two weeks later and was told that the entire overdrive unit in the transmission had to be rebuilt. The truck only had 20,067 miles at this point. 9/23/2019 i called the dealership and told them that the noise had returned at that this would make the fourth time it needed to be addressed. They told me that the power train warranty covered any repairs for this up till 60,000 miles. I will schedule a time to drop the truck for a check as soon as i can. The truck has 52,622.3 miles as of 10/31/2019. The truck only makes the noise at odd intervals when it is between gears or passing someone.
While driving 60 on a 2 lane rural highway, the cluster lights up with 'hill assist not available' and engine loses power and truck starts shaking even when stopped.turned truck off and back on and worked fine.happened once more and now check engine light is on.
While driving as you try to maintain speed at a lower rpm the trans feels like shaking or makes a noise of rattling, and also hard down shifts from 5th to 4th to 3rd gear, i have it looked at at 2 dealerships and one said nothing wrong and the second one said the rattling noise was the skid guard wasn't tight enough supposedly they did tight it but noise is still there
My 2015 3.5 f150 has been experiencing sudden downshifting at random times. Typically, it happens once every hundred miles or so and takes the gears from 5 or 6 all the way to 1 or 2 gear at highway speeds. It is scary especially since we are supposed to be pulling a camper across the west for a few months.first the dealership said that it was a throttle body issue so i replaced that. Now they are saying that it is spark plugs. Apparently, four out of six misfire at the same time randomly which they said would cause the downshift. However, i just had them replaced with new boots three months ago. The issue did start after a dealer transflush but i do not know if it is a coincidence or not.
While driving the vehicle a grinding noise emanated from somewhere near the front wheels.the was also the feeling of a shutter or a shake from the same area.this was felt in the steering wheel. After taking it to the ford dealer, we were told they took a fluid sample from the transfer case and found it contaminated with metal.at 44,576 miles, we had to replace the transfer case.
My truck odometer shows i have 26582 miles on the truck. And the engine hours shows i have 867 hours. However rusty wallace service department said i have 63000 miles according to the pcm!!! i have transmission problems and they do not want to fix the truck under warranty. I content that the truck is still under warranty i have not done anything to the odometer. I have pictures that show i was doing 72 miles a hour and on the digital speedometer but the other speedometer showed i was doing 90 miles a hour. I parked the truck and it stilled showed i was doing 20 mph. I have attached the photos.
My wife was driving vehicle and dash started flashing "hill start assist not available", "service advanced trac" and the wrench icon started displaying on console.vehicle vibrated heavily slowed down in a "cripple" mode no matter how hard gas pedal was pressed.she pulled over, turned the ignition off and waited 5+ minutes before restarting.it re-started with engine light lit.in order to get it to dealer, she had to drive approximately 15 miles.vehicle drove ok for a bit and then exhibited similar behavior 4 more times, including once going up the conejo grade between camarillo and newbury park where a big rig had to take evasive action to avoid hitting her when the ford f150 suddenly and uncontrollably slowed down.had the semi driving not been paying attention, he could have easily hit her.ford dealer diagnosed as bad throttle body on 11/2/2020same vehicle had exhibited brake loss due to faulty master cylinder (now a recall) in august of 2019.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 60 mph, the contact stated that the transmission downshifted independently. The contact also stated that the transmission disengaged and then slammed into gear. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent and had happened at various speeds. The vehicle was taken to town and country ford (101 anderson ln, madison, tn 37115 (615) 865-1280) where it was diagnosed that the lead frame connector needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred several times. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000.
Intermittent grinding noise from integrated wheel ends and multiple replacements of wheel hubs that have failed to permanently fix the problem.the truck has been serviced on 09-20-18 and diagnosed as a failed 4x4 check valve.the problem was not fixed and returned to the shop on 10-16-18 where the problem was diagnosed as failed wheel bearings/hub assembly.the problem was temporarily fixed until it returned again and truck returned to shop on 03-22-2019.the shop again replaced the wheel bearings/hub assembly.the problem was temporarily resolved again until the front end noise returned again in november 2019.the truck is scheduled for the same service on 12-11-2019.
4wd issues. While driving -goes in and out of full time 4wd for no reason. Becomes hard to steer and often pulls to one side or another. When i want to be in 4wd-a (automatic/awd) it will not allow me to shift back out or it will stay in 4wd-h full time. Even when i come to stop it will not shift out of 4wd despite indicator saying that it has.
Cruise control shuts off during operation. Intermittently will not turn on.analog speedometer will indicate speeds in excess of 40mph slower than real speed. Stuck at 40mph when comes to complete stop.
At times my 2015 f150 loses all power and go to a low power/ "limp mode" setting.cautions received are (1) service advance trac, (2) hill descent control fault, (3) hill start assist not avail, (4) traaction control fault light.when this occurs, the vehicle goes to a very low forward power setting (<5mph), runs extremely rough to the point where the vehicle shakes aggressively.this problem is intermittent in nature, and yesterday was the final straw.this suddent oss of power occurred on a busy road and i nearly got rear ended.i immediately limped off the road and was able to get the vehicle towed to the dealership in castle rock, co.currently i'm standing by for the mechanics diagnosis.of note, i do see several similar write-ups of this problem on the nhtsa site regarding the 2015 f150.ironically, a similar occurrence (ref. Nhstsa id#11083485)happened right up the road from me in castle rock, co (4/5/18).i hope ford is aware of this extremely dangerous, recurring problem within its f150 fleet.
Vehicle lost power and flashed 3 warning messages. 1) hill start assist not available. 2) see manual. 3) service advance trac. In addition the service engine light stays on. All of this happened while i was making a left turn in traffic almost causing a collision. This is the second time it has happened. After first time dealer was contacted and service department reported no problems found. Appointment currently scheduled to look at it again.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that there was an abnormal noise progressing while driving 50 mph or in reverse. Also, the transmission jerked in and out of gear without warning. The dealer was notified more than once and was unable to replicate and diagnose the failure. The manufacturer issued five technical service bulletins for the power train. The dealer (winner ford, 250 haddonfield-berlin rd, cherry hill, nj 08034, (856) 428-4000) indicated that they were unable to determine a remedy pertaining to that information. In addition, the contact had a warranty and the dealer stated that the vehicle was 14 days outside of the window to receive warranty service. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
While traveling in a straight line at 60 mph (posted highway peed limit) the vehicle suddenly down-shifted to a much lower gear (1st or 2nd?), causing engine rpms to dramatically increase.i responded to the unintended condition by taking sudden dramatic braking action.this resolved this incident.the vehicle is 2 years, 3 months old with slightly over 22,000 miles, and is scheduled for the dealer to conduct a "transmission code review" on 01/10/18.
Vehicle in 4 wheel hi mode has a tendency to bind up in reverse at low speed. Sometimes affects the forward motion. Can count on 1 hand the amount of times this has been engaged.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. On several occasions when the vehicle was placed in reverse after the auto shift feature was used, the vehicle failed to operate as intended. The dealer diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The transmission was replaced; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was again taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure or produce a fault code. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 5,000.updated 01/05/17*lj
I bought this truck brand new from the dealer 8-2015. As of august 1, 2019 the truck stated vibrating between 50 mph and 75 mph while driving on the highways.i am getting a vibration from what appears to be my drive axle.it is most prominent when letting off the throttle and coasting from 75 mph to 50 mph. You can feel it in the steering wheel and you can also hear it.
When moving in reverse or drive, from a stop, the rear end makes a loud popping sound. (thought my spare tire had come loose.verified that was not the case)while driving on a roadway and turning corners, you can feel the rear end sway as if the axle shafts are too long which causes the rear end to feel loose.effects driveability.
While driving on highway at 55 mph (6th gear), vehicle suddenly downshifted to 1st gear.the engine's rpms revved as the vehicle began to decelerate hard, resulting in the passengers experiencing a sudden jerk of their neck and body.the accelerator pedal had no response.after approximately 5 seconds i regained response from the accelerator and the vehicle began to upshift.a few moments later, the whole experience repeated with the vehicle downshifting to 1st.this repeated a third time.the incident caused several near-misses as we lost power at highway speed and began a rapid deceleration without notice.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle lost power and stalled without warning. There had also been some difficulty shifting gears from drive into park and reverse because the gear would not fully shift in place. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign numbers: 19v075000 (power train) and 18v894000 (engine). Apple ford lincoln of apple valley (7200 150th st w, apple valley, mn 55124, (952) 431-5900) was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle after it had been taken back and forth more than once. The failure recurred with the vehicle stalling at any rate of speed and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer due to the potential risk of a crash. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa action number: rq17010 (power train). The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 3,000. .consumer replaced throttle body, both times vehicle lost all power other than idle @ roughly 60mph.
The truck will, without any warning, just basically cease to run. Engine will shake, truck will quit moving under its own power, and several service advisories will come up on dash suck as "service downhill assist, service traction control", and a few others. I stop, put in park, turn off truck, restart, and it will be clear and will go again. This has happened 5 times and is currently being looked at by a mechanic. 3 times has happened on roads with very light traffic. Twice, while getting on interstate. Truck has 87,000 miles.
While driving - complete shut down of vehicle - loss of steering and acceleration. System warning says advance trac warning and shows a picture of a wrench. Stopped the vehicle - restarted and continued to happen. Very dangerous as it happened while driving - had to coast to the side of the road.
Hard shift that feels like someone hit the back of my truck.stuck with $200 bill every time i come in and told no fault codes but new software is out.1st notice at 43000 miles when i 1st got the truck (used from family that got it new).
My f-150 has had 2 turbos in 1 year go bad on it, causing me to not be able to accelerate at highway speeds. Losing gas mileage and coolant also. My tire sensor has also gone bad on the truck and caused me to over inflate it.
Vehicle lost all speed control when taking off from a stop and engine was shuttering/vibrating/misfiring and dash panel lit up like a christmas tree with all kinds of warnings. Pulled over to the side of the road shut down and let sit for several minutes. Restarted and engine light stayed illuminated. Truck was running ok and limiter was not engaged was a short distance from home so i began to drive.made it up to 55 mph and about 1/2 a mile and without any warning it began to act up again so to prevent an accident i pulled over and called a tow truck to have it towed to dealership. They diagnosed to to be a faulty throttle body. $502.46, a heart and panic attack later it seems to have fixed the problem.
The truck was running for about 15 minutes. We were going down a major highway in one of the passing lanes at approximately 70mph then without any warning power was lost. On the display trac stability came on then cycledthru hill assist andseveral others. I drifted of the road just past a exit. The engine felt like it was missing terribly as it cycling thru these errors. I shut it down and restarted it seemed ok, but check engine light still on, when i tried to move it started to shake and cycle errors again. I shut it down again and restarted this time it was running ok. The check engine light was still on and we drove with thecheckegine light for approximately 400 miles stoppingand shuting off engine several times.light still on. Stopped for 1 hour to eat when restarting no check engine light on and has been working as normal today.
When driving on the highway an alert popped up on the dash stating hill descent control fault which was followed quickly by service advancetrac and a yellow wrench and see manual.these warning continued to cycle and the truck seemed to lose ability to maintain speed as is slowed down and the steering became difficult.i was able to get it off the highway without incident as there were not many vehicles on the road, but if it would have been busy, i would have been in trouble.once on the shoulder i placed it in park and the truck began to shudder and run rough.i turned the truck off and let it sit for a few minutes and then restarted it.upon restart everything appeared normal and there were no warnings, i was able to continue to my destination.i called the dealership and they sounded like they had heard this story before and told me i could bring it in within a weeks time.i was also told that it would not cause any damage to continue to drive it.while waiting for the repair i did have to continue to drive it and this same thing would happen randomly just going down the road and all of the sudden you get a warning lose the ability to maintain speed and steering becomes difficult.being on the highway in this situation is dangerous since you never know when it might occur.after going to the dealership they listed the repairs on my form as: installed bl3z9e926 b throttle body and motor asy installed bl3z 12029 c coil asy - ignition installed bl3z 12a402 a boot - ignition wire prot (5 items) installed cyfs 12 yt4 spark plug (6 items) the parts and labor of this repair came to $972.56.i have read forums online that that state others have had this repair done as well and some people say their steering rack was replaced as well.this repair was just done yesterday (6-26-21) and i am hopeful that it will fix the problem.i feel that based on the reading i have done this has happened to lots of people and is dangerous, so i wanted to report my incident.
Truck stalls due to throttle body actuator sticking. Vehicle becomes disabled/stalled and applies the brakes. Occurs without notice at any speed. Occurs on highway, city streets, and dirt roads. Requires throttle body replacement. Similar recalls did occur for the ford throttle body for other models and years (e.g. 13n03 program). Dealer indicates it is not covered under powertrain warranty (although it should be) and costs $600 to replace.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle lost acceleration and lunged forward. In addition, the traction control and hillside assist warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road and was restarted. Tamiami ford (1471 airport-pulling rd, naples, fl 34104, (239) 643-3673) repaired the electric throttle body. The vehicle was repaired. The diagnosis information was unavailable. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 38,000.
Vin: [xxx] make: ford f150 2015on the morning of june 20th 2017, i was sitting in the passenger seat journaling and listing to music. The vehicle was parked and running because i was listening to the radio and enjoying the air conditioner. My husband had driven the vehicle and parked it. He had exited the vehicle and went up to his appointment and i was in the vehicle, in the passenger seat, journaling for at least ten minutes or more. I needed to use the restroom so i put my stuff in the bag at my feet, on the floor board on the passenger side. I reached over, gripped the key, turned it to the off position, removed the key from the ignition, the truck was fully off. I began opening the passenger door to exit the vehicle and realized the vehicle was rolling backwards. I slammed my door, tried to use the shifter but it did not move. I was steering the vehicle to the right knowing there were vehicles parked behind me. I threw the key in put it in drive and hit the brake, but it was to late and i had hit another vehicle. I was lucky nobody was in the other vehicle or behind my vehicle. Somebody could have been hurt or killed. I pulled the truck forwards, i parked and handled what had just occurred. I don?t know what to do. We no longer feel our vehicle is safe when in park. I know the 2017 models are having this same problem, if ford still cant fix this problem two years later, why would i feel our vehicle is safe or trust that it does not have a defect that needs fixing?????? please help! thank you for your time. We just want to ensure our safety and the safety of others. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Takata recall
On july 24, 2020 while driving on interstate 291 driving 45-50mph with heavy traffic, with absolutely no warning there was a loud explosion.i thought i was rear ended. Simultaneously the rear tires locked up while approaching a work zone.i skidded uncontrollably for approximately 100 feet. Ultimately came to rest on the shoulder. As my family and i exited the vehicle there was heavy smoke coming from the rear and underside of the vehicle.we thought the vehicle was on fire.the state police arrived on the scene within 5 minutes upon us exiting the vehicle.the transmission wouldn't go into gear so the vehicle had to be flat bedded to the nearest dealership, marcotte ford, holyoke ma. Was told by the dealership the rear end failed and locked up.upon their test drive i was told there was a total failure with the transmission.they said they had to wait for a decision from ford to either rebuild or replace the transmission. August 19, 2020 i was notified that the transmission was rebuilt and that i could pick up the vehicle.i did not receive any prior phone calls from themto inform me of what was going to be done to correct the situation..
Since buying my truck brand new around a year ago,i have had consistent problems with my transmission. Most of the time, in the "drive" option, the transmission jerks jolts while changing gears. It is very loud, and makes you feel like something bad just happened. Most importantly, the transmission shifts into first gear while the truck is still moving in manual mode. It does it almost every time around 7-9 miles per hour.it happens so violently, it slams everyone in the vehicle forward. I reported in to johnson city ford in johnson city, t.n. I think this problem is an immediate safety and mechanical problem for my family. I also believe it is doing permanent damage to my vehicle i will have to pay for later down the road. Thank you for your time.
The front differential needs to be rebuilt.possible failure due to failed bearing seals. Causing noise that will lead to bearing, axle failure.when i described the problem everyone knew exactly what the problem was.i asked if it was a recall they said no.it really needed to be fixed and would be around $1000.00..i was very surprised they "everyone" knew except for me!! seems like if it is "most" or "all" then ford to tell customers.front differential fails at 55 mph that is going to be a big problem for someone!!
At 80mph plus the whole cab shakes violently.
Traveling at highway speed on the interstate my vehicle downshifted out of my control from 5th to 1st gear very suddenly.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving 50 mph, the vehicle downshifted independently. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to park on the side of the road, restarted the vehicle, and drove to his residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000
Passenger side seatbelt retractor does not work properly if occupant is leaning forward, as in a slow braking situation followed by harder braking.i've saved my face dozens of times from hitting the dashboard, even after the original seatbelt retractor was replaced.the 2nd one provides protection only in strictly hard braking situations, not slow-then-hard braking.
Vehicle lets water into the doors.water does not drain properly.seat belts get iced over in cold weather, causing them to not work properly.they do not retract, hold tension.
While passanger seat is occupied by a fully grown adult with seatbelt fastened, airbag turns off, seemingly at random. Vehicle was in motion on city streets.
I have an extended cab 2015 f-150 pick up truck. The rear suicide doors do not latch closed which leaves the front seat belt attachment unattached to the car whatsoever. I took the truck to ed shults ford in jamestown, ny and they determined the rear door latch cable is stretching out which keeps the door from latching. This is happening on a 3 year old truck. The dealer also informed me that they see this several times a week on other f-150's with the extended cab rear suicide doors. No recall or tsb has been issued so they are charging me to fix the cable and latch. This is a huge safety concern for me. The doors need to latch, how long will this "fix" last for? the truck is 3 years old, i should not need to replace door cables on the inside of the door ever, let alone within 3 years from being produced. The door cable is internal to the door and not affected by swinging the door open. I am asking for ford to address the safety concern and provide all customers with a safe, long term fix for this door latch mechanism on 2015 f-150's with rear suicide doors.
I was going on a trip i have a 1 yr old sister in law i had to put her baby car seat i wanted to put her in the middle away from the sides and to my surprise the middle seatbeltdoes not workit would of been the first time using the seatbelt i've contacted dealerships and contacted headquarters and they have been no help telling me it could be 5 to 6 days just to look at it my thing is why isn't a seatbelt issue being taken serious. In my opinion it's a very serious issue any help would greatly appreciated.
From day one the passenger side shoulder harness periodically wouldn't take hold, forcing passenger to slide seat well back from dashboard to avoid injury.it was replaced once and is better than before but still occasionally fails.brakes were extremely grabby from day one, but we drove the vehicle for 30000 miles before taking it in due to vibration during any braking since approx 25000 miles.rotors were rturned and finally the vehicle brakes normally, helpful because it is less likely that braking will send passenger lurching forward when faulty shoulder harness won't hold.
The vehicle is a 2015 ford f-150 extended cab.my vehicle has not been involved in an incident, but there is a defect in the design of the seatbelt/door latches. Design of the rear doors and the latches traps the rear seat passenger in the event of the incapacitation of the front seat passenger.the rear door cannot be opened unless the front door is opened first.there is no way for a rear seat passenger to be able to open the front door in the case of an accident, and there is no alternative method of egress for rear seat passengers.this is a design defect affecting all 2015 f-150 crew cab pickups.so far there i have not had an accident, but the problem should be addressed by ford before there are tragic results from the design error.
I was involved in an accident on june 13, 2016 on a local city road at an intersection; where a vehicle failed to yield to right of way, causing me to hit them head on, on their front passenger side. I was temporarily knocked unconscious, and sustained 2 broken teeth, burns on my face from the airbag deployment (which has left scars), bruising and swelling on my lower abdomen, my torso, major bruising and swelling on the right side of my face, and severe tension in my neck and back. I was traveling no more that 35 mph. I sustained these injuries because the seat belt failed to lock on impact to restrain me from hitting the airbag so hard.
Seat belt pretensioner. The front middle seat belt is stuck causing the middle seat to be stuck in the down position. The middle seat can not be used.
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 andrepaired, 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
Was driving on highway, cruise set at 55mph, came over a hill to a car stalled in the road. I couldn't stop, both vehicles declared total loss. Direct hit, front of my 2105 f150 to the rear end of a ford focus, approximately 40mph. Seatbelt tightened and locked up, left bruises across my hips, airbags did not deploy. Hit my face in the steering wheel, bruised knees on dash.
In cold weather, the rear driver side door latches are inoperable.the door latch fails to engage, allowing the door to open while the vehicle is in motion. During right hand turns, bumps in the road, or when light pressure is applied to the driver side doors, the vehicle returns a "door ajar" warning as the door open itself. This is especially dangerous in the "supercab" configuration, as the rear door also contains the seat belt for the driver. If the door were to open fully, this could disrupt the driver's ability to control the vehicle, or potentially throw them out of the vehicle. This system failure can also be easily replicated when stationary. Open the driver's door and lightly pull on the rear door. You can see the latch failing to engage as the door move freely at the bottom instead of staying locked shut. When in motion, this problem occurs at all speeds, from parking lot maneuvers to highway travel. The first instance of this failure occurred at approximately 17*f. The door jambs and latch assemblies were confirmed to be free of ice, snow, or any other debris.
During a accident where i rear ended another vehicle that was either stopped or at a very slow roll on a off-ramp (traffic was backed up from a wreck further up), neither my airbags or my seat belt restrained me. The result being me hitting the steering wheel with my chest and abdomen. I had bruising on my lower abdomen and extensive injuries to my back, neck and hips. The chiropractor hopes to have me back to 80-90% of "normal" (how i was before the wreck) within 2-2 1/2 months. I estimate my speed upon impact to be between 50-60 mph.
2 f150 safety recalls: passenger side seat belt and door locking mechanism. Contacted gullo ford conroe tx, they were not able to cheduje recall repairs due to inability to maintain stock and were not able to even schedule the repairs.

Front seat cooling system, back of both the driver and passenger seats, is not working. When cooling is selected the back seat does not cool rather after 10-15 mins. It warms up. I have read the temp. With a gun and found it to be between 115 and 150 degrees at the back of the seat right above the map pocket at a ambient temp. Of 75 degrees. My dealers answer to the issue was ford states its working as designed. I am not using the cooling function with anything in the back for fear or how hot it gets and a fire. Ford has not given a fix for the problem. I am one of many. It is in many forums about this issue.

When the ac control for the front seats is in use the back of the seats can reach temperatures of 110 degrees when the temperature in the cab is 73 degrees.this temperature could burn my children who ride in the back seats or even cause damage to the seat or risk of fire.i have seen multiple accounts of this on the web and from other owners of 2015 ford f150 with this option.

The truck has malfunctioning climate controlled-massaging seats. The climate control does not work on the seats at all. My dealership looked it over today and confirmed that it was not working but then after two service reps could not find the problem they decided that since the truck has the massaging feature that the climate control must be disabled and will not work! i accepted this answer for a while and then decided that this is surely not the case or why else would the sales sheets say "climate controlled massaging seats"; not "climate controlled or massaging seats"? well i called the ford support phone number and after much deliberation the representative told me that i should go to another dealership! i have since learned that this is a common issue to some degree on many year/model of ford trucks.considering that i just traded a 2014 ford raptor for this truck and the climate controlled seats worked (although not considerably well) on it, i am very disappointed.the dealership that i purchased the truck from did not acknowledge this as being a problem but just a simple internet search yields thousands of complaints!the problem is so severe that when seat cooling is selected, after 10 minutes, the front seats reach even hotter temperatures rather than cooler.ford seems to be unwilling to take care of this problem but continues to advertise the feature and selling their trucks as if nothing is wrong!something needs to be done about this issue.

When seat cooling is selected, after 30 minuets, 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!

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.
The cooled seat function on the 2015 is a very poor design and it causes extreme heat to the back of the seat while the bottom of the seat somewhat cools. I feel this is a fire danger to anything in the seat back pocket.
When you turn on the seat cooler, the bottom will cool while the back will get excessively hot; if left on long enough it could cause burns on someone, especially the elderly or those with thin skin.there is currently no recall or info from ford on the issue.
My 2015 lariat has heated/cooled leather front seats. When using the seat cooling function i noticed the seat bottom would cool but the seat back seemed to get warm. At first i thought it was my imagination. Attempted to use it on friday and about 30 minutes later my back was hot. I pulled over, felt the seat back with my palm, then my cheek and it was hot to the touch.
In some affected ford vehicles with climate controlled seats it is found that excessive temperatures in excess of 132 degrees f can be reached on the rear of the front seats.this area is just above the magazine pocket which causes an increase risk of contact with the high temperatures.children often store books in the magazine pocket and come in contact with the leather upholstery that is at an elevated temperature.if metal objects, such as toys, are stored in the seat pocket they can have heat transfer from this unit causing the toys to be hot to the touch causing the potential for burns.my children have touched this area of the seat in the past and complained about the seat being hot.they also have at times grabbed a toy out of the seat pocket and immediately dropped the die-cast toy due to it being hot.know affected vehicles include late 2015+ ford f150, ford explorer, ford mustang, and other models with the same seat climate control system.ford released a tsb 15-0154 to add an additional intake sock to the climate controlled seats.this repair has not successfully mitigated the safety risk to children being exposed to the hot temperatures.

The front seat back cooling system (utilizing a ted unit for cooling) is malfunctioning on my brand new 2015 ford f-150 platinum. When seat cooling is selected, after 15-30 minutes, the back of the front seats reaches extreme temperatures, resulting in extreme discomfort and potential burning of anyone that touches the front or back of the front seat backs. Members of the ford f-150 forum have measured and documented the temperature readings, 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 easily reach up to 150 degrees or more. These are levels of heat that certainly can injure a child, or even an adult and, if a child is left in a locked car with the "cooling seats" engaged, it can more rapidly escalate the ambient temperatures to a dangerous and perhaps fatal level inside the vehicle.all attempts to bring this to ford regional and national customer service agents have been met with total disregard and, in some cases refusal to admit that a problem even exists. Aside from the fact that owners paid $60k for these vehicles, ford's callous disregard of owners attempts to bring this to their attention are in stark contrast with ford's stated commitment to quality and service. Examples of seat discoloration (leather) indicate just how high the temperatures can get . A 2013 vehicle with similar options had cooled seats that functioned perfectly well, but all 2015?s share this design flaw. Please reference f150 owner?s comments and thermal pictures documenting this issue at the web address:http://www.f150forum.com/f118/cooling-seats-your-seat-backs-working-properly-304154/index112any assistance you can provide in bringing this issue to the immediate attention of ford motor co. Would be greatly appreciated.

The f150 has climate controlled seat that all the occupants in the front two seats are able to use to heat or cool the seating surface.on my model the seat back of the system is not functioning properly in the cooling mode.after as little as 10 min of use the seat back goes from ambient temperature to uncomfortably warm.when reaching behind the seat and placing a hand on the back of the seat back there is a very hot section where the thermal electronic device is located.this is a safety hazard for anyone reaching into the map pocket or any adult or child who touches the back of the seat.while researching this issue online there have been owners who have used thermal imaging and temperature detection devices who have measured temperature from 115-130 degrees on the back seat.some even complain they have measured 150 degress.at that temperature a child could easily suffer severe burns to ther person.i do not have a device to measure temperature to get the exact number but it is uncomfortable to leave my hand on the area of the seat where the ted is located for any length of time.

Front left mounting bolt on the drivers seat fell out causing the seat to rock backwards while in motion.rocking is worst at times of acceleration or braking.
Driver side front seat feels as if it moves from side to side as the vehicle corners. It feels as if a part is loose in the horizontal portion of the seat. This started occurring a few months after purchase (dec. 2015).
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. Other customers have reported temperatures up to 150 degrees: http://www.carcomplaints.com/ford/f-150/2015/accessories-interior/seat_temperature_control_not_working_properly.shtml

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 experiencing the seat back getting extremely hot while using the "cooled seat" feature.i feel this could cause a burn or fire hazard.

I have cooled front leather seats. When turned on, the seat backs become very hot instead of being cooled. This has been reported on a number of websites by quite a few people and ford has issued a service bulletin. This is one site where nearly 700 people report a similar problem http://www.f150forum.com/f118/cooling-seats-issue-tsb-feedback-304154. This occurs when the vehicle is both stationary or in motion, on the highway or any other condition in the note below. The cooled seats just need to be on for this to happen.

Front seat back cooling system (ted) is malfunctioning. When seat cooling is selected, after 5-10 minutes the back of the front seats reach extreme temperatures. I am concerned that the extreme temperatures could pose a potential burn hazard or cause an electrical fire. I have not personally measured the temperature of the seats but while researching the problem i came across a forum where individuals with thermal cameras and inferred thermometers have measured the temperatures of the seat. Several of the results were: 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! numerous people are having this problem and ford has not made any public announcement that there is a potential problem with the cooled seats. You can reference the forum that i got this information from at the web address: http://www.f150forum.com/f118/coolin...operly-304154/

Brake master cylinder reservoir leaked all fluid into the brake booster resulting in "low brake fluid" warning seconds before brake pedal went all the way to the floor with no braking power. Traveling in the sacramento mountains on vacation in southern new mexico when this happened. Could have been very serious not only injuring us but other opposing traffic. Occurred on hwy 82 between cloudcroft and alamogordo on july 6 2019. Very steep stretch of road that cost the life of another truck driver just 1 month prior that went over the side down the canyon. Called the ford dealer in alamogordo and they said no warranty and we would have to pay in addition to having the vehicle towed. Again, we were on vacation and stranded. We had a mobile mechanic order the necessary parts, and 3 working days later (happened on a saturday and parts arrived wednesday) we were back on the road. Very stressful since this has been a major recall on years 2013-14, with over 300 reports on 2015-16 with no recall. Brake failure is serious, and ford should treat it as such.
As i was approaching a 4-way intersection, i applied the brakes.it slowed the vehicle down and came to a stop, but as i was waiting at the light the pedal went all the way down to the floor.this is the second bake line that has failed.in the past 6-8 months, the front driver side brake line failed; this time it is the front passenger side.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 50 mph over a bridge, the brake pedal was applied and depressed to the floorboard; however, the vehicle failed to respond. In addition, the low brake fluid warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was towed to supreme ford (400 e howze beach rd, slidell, la 70461, (888) 928-0250) where it was diagnosed that there was a leak in the master cylinder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The failure mileage was 71,200. The vin was not available.
The vehicle was parked, put into park, the key was removed, then the vehicle was locked. Upon returning to the vehicle the vehicle was unlocked, the tailgate was lowered and we proceeded to load a bulky 70 (i'm guessing) pound object into the bed of the truck.as we pushed the object into the bed of the truck the vehicle started to roll.it was rolling more than just the normal few inches that a vehicle in park can sometimes roll.i jumped into the drivers seat (the door had been left ajar) and pressed the brake to stop the truck.the keys were not in the ignition, the gear shift indicated that the vehicle was in park.the extra parking brake was not being used.the parking lot was very level, there was no slope at all.once we had the object we were loading secured we pushed the truck and it was still able to be moved. We were fortunate that the object that we were loading wasn't heavy, becauseit would have been very easy to have an object drop down onto the person(s) loading.there were no injuries to anyone, there were no other vehicles damaged.we just felt that this was something that should be reported.mileage is approximate mileage was 39,824 in june ( 5 months ago)at last oil change.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 3 mph, the brakes failed while parking the vehicle. The contact had to apply excessive pressure to the brake pedal. The contact regained control of the brakes and the failure was experienced intermittently when the contact used the vehicle. There were no warning indicators illuminated during the failure. The vehicle was not taken to a ford dealer. The vehicle was repaired and diagnosed by an independent mechanic. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not under recall and they could not assist. The failure mileage was 100,000.
While driving i received a warning light that my brake fluid was low.went to stop and the pedal went to the floor.i added brake fluid and the same thing happened again, plus it started to push white smoke out of the tail pipes from the brake fluid entering the engine through the vacuum system from the power booster.there is definitely something wrong with the master cylinders in these vehicles and hope you are able to conclude your investigation into this issue and get a recall in process so that i may be reimbursed for the repair.
I was driving the vehicle when its diagnostic system reported "low brake fluid".i pulled into the closest gas station and checked brake fluid level. It was almost totally out, so i purchased 2 small cans and filled up brake fluid reservoir.i had just had the vehicle into the dealer for its scheduled maintenance, so it was odd that brake fluid was low. No external leaks were visible.i drove another 5 miles, and the diagnostic system reported again, "low brake fluid".i pulled into another gas station and rechecked the brake fluid reservoir.again, it was almost totally empty.i could not detect a visible brake fluid leak, but could smell brake fluid in the engine bay.i parked the vehicle, and called the dealership to see if they were still open. They were about to close.i restarted the vehicle and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor.i called a tow truck and had the vehicle towed to the dealership.while attempting to park the vehicle in the dealer's lot, i had no braking capabilities.dealer diagnosed the problem as a defective master cylinder.repair was done by dealer by replacing master cylinder and brake booster.there was an approximate 30 day delay in repairing the vehicle because there is an existing recall on 2014 ford f-150's for defective brake boosters, and ford was back ordered on the parts.i just picked up my vehicle from the dealership and it was successfully repaired.
Driving down the highway a brake fluid low message came up on my computer screen. I immediately tested my brakes and they still worked so i planned on pulling into the next service station to check the fluid level and possibly purchase more fluid. Upon having to slow down a little further down the road i pressed on the brake and the pedal went to the floor.i immediately started to depress the emergency brake and throttle it until i was safely off the road and could put the vehicle in park.i was towed back to my service station where my mechanic looked at the problem. My mechanic told me the master cylinder had failed and leaked into the brake booster. My mechanic replaced the master cylinder. I do have an extended warranty with ford and after starting the process to get the work covered under warranty i have been receiving the run around.i will be trying a different dealership today.
As i was driving on interstate 94, in minnesota, i applied my brakes to slow my vehicle down for a construction zone. In doing so, a warning on my dashboard appeared saying, "brake fluid low".at that time, my brake pedal went right to the floor, drastically effecting my stopping ability. My emergency brake was needed to stop my vehicle.as i tried to figure out where the brake fluid was going, i was unable to find a leak. With more research, i found out there was a recall for the brake master cylinder leaking fluid into the brake booster, making the front brakes entirely inoperable. I have been attempting to get my vehicle fixed, and or replaced without any luck.
Started 2015 ford f150 in my driveway morning of 3-30-2018 and brake warning came on stating fluid was low.also brake indicator was on. Tested the brakes and they functioned properly.entered the freeway and was traveling at 65 mph when i had to apply brakes due to fast slowing traffic. Brakes failed as pedal went to the floor. Had to swerve to miss vehicle in front of me. Pumped brakes again and got minimal braking as pedal again went to the floor. Downshifted the transmission and used emergency brake to stop the vehicle. Proceeded very carefully to ford dealer that was less than a mile from my location. They diagnosed the vehicle with a master cylinder and booster failure. Cost $1,000.00. Vehicle has 50k miles on it and is meticulously maintained. Ford dealer offered no explanation.
Driving at 20 mph on residential street, applied brakes,pedal went to floor. Complete failure of brakes. Simultaneous warning on low brake fluid and brake warning light.added fluid to reservoir. Brakes failed again within a few minutes. No external evidence of fluid leak, but reservoir was again low. Warning lights remained lit entire time
After towing my travel trailer 90 miles to a campground, i left my truck parked for about 2 days at the campground. When preparing to go home, i turned on the vehicle and was immediately notified by the instrument panel of low brake fluid. Brake pedal would press all the way to the floor with minimal resistance and no braking power. I checked the reservoir and found that there was minimal fluid.i looked for any leaks of brake fluid throughout the engine compartment and all the way back to each wheel. No leak was found. I added 1 bottle (12 oz) of brake fluid to get the level in the reservoir back into range. The vehicle then operated normally and i was able to tow my trailer 90 miles back home. Had the vehicle been in operation when this happened, the results would have been catastrophic - especially while towing.
As i was driving on the highway, i got a warning on my dash saying the brake fluid level was low, accompanied by the brake light illuminating on the dash. As i went to pull over to a safe location, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor when i pressed the pedal. At this point i had no power from my brakes, having to stop by downshifting and using the emergency brake. Upon inspection there was a very small amount of brake fluid in the reservoir and no visible signs of a leak or broken brake lines. I purchased brake fluid and refilled the reservoir. Within 2 miles the warning illuminate again with the brake pedal going to the floor. I had to have my truck towed to the dealership for repairs after this incident.
While driving on interstate i355 at 70 miles per hour without requiring brakes, i got a chime and then a message on the dash that my brake fluid reservoir was low, then my brake light went on. I checked the brake pedal and it went to the floor without stopping the truck. Luckily i was able to time my distance with traffic and switch lanes and exit the interstate. I managed to get the truck into a parking lot and then checked the brake fluid reservoir. The reservoir was very low, below the minimum level. I contacted a coworker who brought brake fluid to the site and we filled it and pumped the brake pedal. It seemed fine so i drove the truck again going to work. Within another mile the chime and warning came on the dash again. At that time i pulled out of traffic and parked the truck at a bank parking lot. I then called ford roadside assistance and had the truck brought to the nearest ford dealership for service.the dealership told me later that night that my master cylinder and my brake booster both failed and caused the issue. I checked on line and found that the nhtsa is investigating this issue on 2015 ford f150 trucks with the v6 eco-boost engine, which is the same engine in my truck. Before the brake issue happened i drove approximately 5 miles and stopped at several red lights and intersections without any problems.
Sudden total brake failure. No ability to stop vehicle. Fortunately in a residential zone and was travelling at low speed..brake was functioning normally when driven to neighborhood retail shop. When re-entered the vehicle and began to accelerate, brake warning lamp lit and i had no braking ability!
Brake failure. Brake pedal went completely to the floor and vehicle did not stop until it hit a tree. I pressed the brake, started the car. The brake pedal did not feel abnormal. With my foot still on the pedal, i put the vehicle in reverse. The pedal immediately went soft and completely to the floor. Since i was in my driveway only planning to move the vehicle back about 3 feet, i did not close the door. When the vehicle did not stop, its door caught a tree and bent backwards into the front fender. The vehicle stopped because the door caught the tree.the only warning displayed on dashboard was that the door was open and the car was not in park.after incident i turned on power to vehicle without starting to record the mileage on the vehicle for my insurance company and that is when the low brake fluid warning came on.
This truck experienced sudden and complete brake failure on friday 7/19/19. Luckily, this occurred in a parking lot, and the truck only hit a curb.our truck was towed to bob davidson ford in parkville, md for repair. They diagnosed failure of the brake master cylinder leaking onto and damaging the brake booster.this truck has the 3.5 liter ecoboost engine. Ford issued a recall for brake master cylinder & brake booster failures for 2013 & 2014 f150's with the same engine. Why has this failure of brake master cylinders & brake boosters not been extended to the 2015 f-150's with the same engine? this obviously seems to be a serious safety problem that should be prevented and paid for by ford.
Moving my truck into lane of traffic out of my driveway; when i started the vehicle the brake pedal went all the way to the floor board and the on board notification system on the dash stated "low brake fluid" and i had almost no braking capability. I had no indication of this prior to that and if i had not applied my emergency brake on i would have entered the lane of traffic and vehicles were coming from both directions and it very easily could have turned into an mva with injuries sustained both in my truck and persons driving on my street. I still have no brakes and i have filled my reservoir with dot 4 brand new bottle of brake fluid.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at 70 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and failed operate as designed extending the braking distance without warning. The vehicle was towed to county ford (18411 lyndon b johnson free way, mesquite tx 75150), but was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000.
While on a road trip from the sf bay area to las vegas and having been there just one day, the valet at ceasar's palace drove my truck to the front entrance of the hotel/casino where many people and vehicles were coming and going. When i got in my truck, the brake warning/failure lights were brightly lit and the brake pedal went mushy right to the floor. When i inspected the brake fluid reservoir, it was near empty (see attached photo). When i looked beneath the vehicle, there was no indication of a leak and no indication of a leak in the engine compartment. The truck mileage was around 62k and had the 60k service recently which included new front rotors and pads installed by a ford dealer in the sf bay area.for the brake failure, i had the truck repaired at the ford dealer in las vegas. They reported that brake fluid leaked from the hydraulic cylinder secondary seal into the brake booster. Both the hydraulic cylinder and brake booster required replacement at a cost of nearly $1400.00! fortunately, i wasn't driving when the brake failure occurred. There were no accidents or injuries. Thank god.
Wife was driving vehicle and experienced sudden lose of brakes , brake pedal went to floor and low brake fluid level light came on . Had to use emergency brake to bring vehicle to a stop with no prior warning.
I was driving on the freeway on my way to the office this morning, as i approached heavy traffic travelling at 75 mph. I applied the brakes and my brake pedal went completely to the floor. The truck had complete and total brake failure. I was fortunate enough to avoid an accident by going down the grass in between the 2 opposing lanes of traffic.
Drove an hour away to attend a concert friday night, no issue at all until it was time to leave.the truck had a low brake fluid light and the brake peddle goes straight to the floorboard.after filling with fluid i do not see a leak but there is none left in the reservoir.it seems this is a common and dangerous problem that is going to kill someone!of course my truck just went over 36,000 miles for a warranty service (less than 37,000 currently) and i may be stuck repairing a defect that could have killed me
Brakes stopped working immediately after brake light came on. Filled with 1 quart of brake fluid and it disappeared into the booster. No brake fluid on ground.
Master cylinder and brake booster failure - 2015 ford f150 s-crew 56k miles. . without any warning, the brake pedal went to the floor and fluid level warning appeared. Added brake fluid and took the vehicle to the dealership. After a diagnostic it was determined that the master cylinder and brake booster needed replacement. Fortunately when this occurred i had just started the vehicle to return home from work. There was a recall for this specific issue on the 2013 and 2014 model, but not for the 2015 which seems to be following suit.
I was driving south on i-75 just north of cincinnati, oh at approximately 65 mph when a message came on dash and said something like "low of brake fluid".i tested my brakes and the brake pedal went to the floor.traffic had simultaneously begun to slow so i down shifted the transmission, swerved from the slow lane to the shoulder and applied the emergency brake.i was able to get the truck to a complete stop.i lifted the hood and found no brake fluid.i called and waited for a tow truck.after two hours, since i had only driven 2 miles from my house i asked my son to bring me a quart of brake fluid and check the driveway to see if there was a spot on the concrete.there was no spot on concrete, i added an entire quart of fluid but still had no brakes.had truck brought to kerry ford and repaired where they advised the brake master cylinder failed.although the vehicle was only 18 mos old, the warranty was only 36,000 miles which i had passed.i bought the vehicle brand new.i paid for the repair but could not get the master cylinder from the dealer as i was told ford required the old one for a core.
I just read an article about the brake failures on the 2015 & 2016 f-150. I have a 2015 f-150 platinum 4x4 with approximately 31,000 miles and experienced a similar event about 2 weeks ago. As i approached a stop signal on my normal route home, the brakes failed when i stepped on the pedal, it acted like the anti-skid brake system had taken over and wouldn't allow the pedal to apply hydraulic pressure to the brake calipers. This was the first and only time it has happened, so i did not report the event to ford. No damage or injury occurred.
I stopped while pulling a trailer, fueled my vehicle, hopped back in and the trailer brakes were on constantly. I disconnected 7 way plug and trailer brakes released. I tested trailer braking output at the 7 pin plug and the brake output was stuck on. I turned the gain down to zero and it was still staying on. I checked the trailer for a short and all check showed trailer wiring as ok. I found on an f150 forum many complaints of the same thing happening to 2015 and 2016 f150's and dealers replacing the trailer brakes module and the tow module.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 55 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to stop. The contact also stated that the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The contact was able to safely stop the vehicle by letting it coast to a stop. Also, the brake fluid low warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was towed to i-77 ford (3315 charleston rd, ripley, wv) where it was diagnosed that the sealant failed in the booster cylinder and both the master cylinder and booster cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000. Consumer stated since the brake failure on 7/10/18 and completed repairs on 7/17/18.also, since an i77 mechanic told me that i may lose the catalytic converters because the brake fluid went thru them, i traded the truck on 7/28/18. Updated 10/15/18
Sitting at a stop sign and "low brake fluid" light came on. Drove less than a mile home ready to use the ebrake after noticing the brake went all the way to the floor before stopping, so didn't know how much was left. The brake fluid was very low. Added brake fluid, drove it around the block and as i was pulling into the driveway, the "low brake fluid" light came on again. Turns out, it's the master cylinder leaking all the fluid into the brake booster, which apparently is a known issue that ford is ok with? they recalled the 2013 and 2014s, but 2015s and 2016s are having the same problem. Shame.
When engaging the brakes, pedal goes all the way to the floor. Checked brake fluid resivouir and it was almost empty. Refilled resivouir and still same issue. Read online about breaks and seems to be the exact same issue with the 2013 and 2104 3.5 ecoboost models. Currently a recall on those models for brake master cylinder replacement. This is an obvious known issue, but 2015-2016 models don't have a current recall yet. Please assist with recall for 2015-2016 mod ls
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving approximately 20 mph, the brake pedal was forcefully engaged with both feet; however, the vehicle failed to slow down and crashed into the rear of the preceding vehicle. The contact injured both legs and knees, including the hip area. The contact did not require medical attention. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was not towed. The vehicle was driven with caution. The day prior to the crash, the brakes were depressed numerous times before coming to a stop and there was a delayed response. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 6,000.
We received safety recall notice 20s31/nhtsarecall20v-332 on our 2015 ford f-150. Neither the dealer nor ford customer service is willing to replace our master brake cylinder under the recall until it actually fails, or we see the red brake warning signal etc. Considering we use the truck to pull our 6,000 lb. 25ft. Airstream we don't feel it is a safe situation to take the chance of pulling the airstream and just waiting to see if the brake fails. We may be hours from a ford dealership when it happens.i am very disappointed with ford for their seeming indifference & willingness to just wait until people crash into other cars and do bodily harm before they will take responsibility of fixing an obvious safety recall issue. Never before have we ever had a recall notice where we had first to prove our vehicle had failed before they fixed the recall issue. Everyone kept telling me that only a small percentage of the vehicles that received the safety recall notice would actually have the brakes fail, so why worry? just keep driving & hope for the best? the letter says it's due to a part shortage & we'd be notified when parts are available, but the dealer & an ford operations supervisor said the master brake cylinder would not be fixed on our vehicle unless the vehicle was exhibiting symptoms, regardless of the safety recall. I've wasted a week of my life talking to ford, and waiting for call backs & basically am just being blown off..and we're talking about brake failures!!this was our 3rd ford vehicle over the years, but likely our last. Not impressed at all with their customer service or their concern about their customers safety once they've purchased the vehicle.
While driving on the interstate, my low brake fluid warning come on, i pulled over and had to cruise to a stop because the brake pedal was hardly responding. After getting 2 12 oz. Bottles of brake fluid brought to me, i filled up and pumped them up, seemed ok so i started again, light came on again after about 5 miles. Brake fluid reservoir was completely empty. Did this 2 more times, dumping more than a gallon of brake fluid into the reservoir. Mechanic has found no leaks in the lines.
Brake fluid warning light came on lost all brakes after parking . Brake pedal went to the floor. Happened coming off highway .
After entering the highway and maintaining a speed of approximately 65 mph, the brake pedal suddenly lost function and was able to be pushed all the way back with no effectiveness. No alarms or safety chimes alerted the failure. This was frightening due to our whole family being present and the speed of which we were traveling at the point of failure. We were able to safely coast onto the shoulder and be towed to the nearest dealership. The mechanics could not recreate the failure and replaced the master cylinder in hopes that this will correct the problem. I am still unsure if the vehicle has had the issue corrected permanently.
I was driving on the freeway at 65 miles per hourwhen i had a sudden warming light flash saying brake fluid problem. I tested the brakes and they went to the floor. Total brake failure with no warning. The truck has 29,000 miles and was serviced within last 2 months. This could have very bad and had tragic consequences. I fortunately was able to down shift using the manual shift feature and slow down and stop safely. This is a serious issue. My family and i could have been in a serious accident and hurt ourselves or others. Ford needs to get this figured out asap. Call me with any questions.
Driving at a highway speed of 65 mph, the brake fluid light appeared.i began to slow down, using the brakes to pull over,, within a few minutes i lost all brake ability when the pedal went to the floor.i was able to coast to a safe location and look at the brake fluid reservoir which was empty.
While on vacation at lake, the truck completely lost brakes. I dropped boat in water and parked in lot. Upon returning from day of boating, i started truck and began driving down boat ramp. I hit the brakes to slow and make the u turn to back down to water and the brake pedal went fully to the floor and alarms and brake messages began flashing on dash. There was very little deceleration. Luckily i was not moving too quickly and able to keep from hitting other people and vehicles on the ramp by turning crosswise on the ramp. Certainly could have been much worse if brakes had failed while fully loaded up trailer, less maneuvering options or with more speed. Upon checking the master cylinder was completely empty. There were no signs of leakage on any of brake lines or components. Obtained fluid and filled reservoir completely and able to get back to campsite. However, two hours later the reservoir was empty again. Finally determined fluid was leaking into brake booster and that is why no fluid leaks could be detected. The residual vacuum after engine is shut off sucks out all the fluid while vehicle is parked. Apparently the engine burns brake fluid fairly cleanly as the exhaust did not smoke excessively on startup. Removed vacuum line from booster and refilled reservoir so that it could be driven to dealership with non-boost assisted brakes. Dealership verified the master cylinder was indeed leaking into booster and replaced master and booster at a cost of $650. They said that although previous years that had this exact problem were covered mine was outside of the covered vins and not covered.
I was driving vehicle on hwy at 55mph pulling a 20 foot pontoon boat.brake light came on with audible warning.i came to the next stop sign and the brake pedal went nearly to the floor with severe diminished braking ability.i limped the truck to a gas station a mile down the road where i checked the brake fluid reservoir which had a 1/2 inch of fluid left in it.i put 12 oz. Of brake fluid in the reservoir.i got under the truck and checked the master cylinder and brake lines from the master cylinder to the back of the truck.i located no leaks whatsoever in the system.i continued another approximate 20 miles and the warning light came on again at which time i stopped again and added 48oz total of additional brake fluid however it disappeared with no leak anywhere.i had to have the truck towed 190 miles home as i was on a family vacation.the truck was towed directly to the dealership and will arrive on monday august, 20 2018.
Complete loss of brakes.loss of fluid. Thankfully it happened when i was about to leave my house so i was parked in my drive. The brake pedal went straight to the floor.when i popped the hood and looked at master cylinder the fluid was almost gone.
My wife started driving the vehicle and a short time later a "brake fluid low" warning came on.she applied the brakes and the brake pedal went to the floor and braking action was severely compromised.in order to get the vehicle off the road to a safe place, she had to continue to drive the vehicle a short distance,in order to bring the vehicle to a stop once in a parking lot she had to put the truck in tow haul mode (engine braking) and use the emergency/parking brake.we had the vehicle towed to a local service shop. They diagnosed the issue as a master cylinder leak into the booster.we then had the vehicle towed to dch ford of thousand oaks and they diagnosed the issue the same and said the master cylinder and booster need to be replaced.vehicle has less the 50k miles and is the v6 with ecoboost.2013 and 2014 models are apparently under active recall for same issue.2015 (our year) is under recall query/investigation # rq16001
Catastrophic / complete brake failure will moving.brake peddle went to floor while exiting highway.seconds before applying brakes, "low brake fluid" warning came on.thankfully it was a long exit ramp and was able to stop vehicle with down shifting and emergency brake.very dangerous!!!!!!no prior indication of problem. Inspected fluid and it was below minimum.vehicle had be serviced 2 weeks prior and all fluids full.added fluid and pumping brakes several time, fluid was empty again.had vehicle towed to dealer.
The contact's husband owned a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that her husband had exited her vehicle to park his ford f-150 into their driveway. Upon start of the vehicle, the contact's husband lost complete control of the vehicle and clipped the side of her vehicle and crashed into a retainer wall. The contact's husband stated that the vehicle independently took off as the brakes failed to operate while being depressed. The contact was unaware if any warning lights illuminated prior to the failure. The air bags failed to deploy upon impact. Upon exiting the vehicle, the contact's husband was covered in blood and the contact had a knot on the back of her head while in her vehicle. The contact immediately cleaned off her husband for cuts on both his legs and arms. The contact's husband was later treated at a hospital for a broken back and ribs. A police report was filed as a result of the accident. The vehicle wastowed to fiesta ford, inc.(78990 varner rd, indio, ca 92203) where the vehicle was deemed totaled. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and they offered no assistance with the failure. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 20v332000(service brakes, hydraulic); however, the vehicle was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000. *dt
Driving on the highway saturday may 30 and without warning the brake fluid low warning light started flashing.the brakes were barely usable and the pedal had no pressure and stopped just off the floor. I could use the brakes but very slow to stop the vehicle. I could use the pedal for the emergency brakes but just barely.i was driving on an interstate at 65mph , towing a 23' boat, i was not using the brakes at the time of failure, there was no warning prior to the failure.i had the truck serviced on may 13th and had casually looked the night before the trip and noted no problems.i stopped bought fluid and filled the fluid reservoir and 15 miles later the same warning light came on.stopped and looked for leaks under vehicle and at each wheel and nothing evident.had someone meet me and tow the boat for me as i limped the vehicle to dealer.
"check brake or check brake controller" appears on dash. Has occured twice in first 8,000 miles. Dealers clear code the brakes seem to be fine. Now " check hill decent" has appeared and truck will not accelerate more than 2-3 mph. This has occured twice in first 8,000 miles on city streets in motion or when starting from a stop light.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 50 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floor. The brake warning indicator illuminated. The contact also mentioned that an abnormal odor of brake fluid emitted from the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 43,000...updated 02/02/17 updated 7/6/18
When truck sits overnight and i start it , it emits a bluish white smoke for 5-15 seconds.i understand there is a recall on this and the brake master cylinder can leak into the booster ,but my vehicle vin number is not included.is my vehicle safe to drive?
While on vacation and towing a 16' enclosed trailer the trailer brake control module (tbc) failed. While driving, failure was temporarily indicated by a momentary winking off, then back on, of the tow haul mode indicator. No trailer brake control failure code was given. The vehicle was able to continue to the next stop at which time it was turned off. After re-starting and attempting to leave, the trailer brakes were fully locked. After removing the electric pigtail connector the trailer brakes released and it was taken to a nearby rv dealer where it was determined the fault was with the vehicle not the trailer. The vehicle was then taken to the nearest ford dealer were it was determined the trailer brake control module had failed. The dealer indicated the part was on back order for several weeks, at which time it was determined the best solution was to install an aftermarket unit which was done so the following day. Although the vehicle is still under warranty, neither ford nor the dealer would cover the cost.failure of the tbc at highway speed may cause the trailer brakes to lock, causing serious damage or injury. This seems to be a recurring problem as indicated by the back ordered part and noting several threads regarding the same issue on the f150 forum.http://www.f150forum.com/f82/2015-integrated-trailer-brake-controller-malfunction-308674/
I own a 2015 ford f-150 pickup 4wd 4 door since new. Has 49k miles. The brake light came on while traveling on a busy expressway i checked my brakes and had no pressure at all, the pedal went right to the floorboard i had no brakes a complete brake failure without warning! i managed to down shift and use theparking brake to stop. This is a very serious issue that need to be addressed, a complete brake system failure without warning should not happed to a well maintained 3 year old truck. Please look into this before someone gets seriously hurt or killed. At the time of brake failure we were traveling at 55 mph on a busy ny expressway during rushhour. I took the truck to a local repair shop and have been told it's a failed master cylinder, he called ford to get a replacement part and the original replacement part is discontinued waiting on the replacement of that. I have learned that ford has a recall for this same issue on 2013 and 2014 f150 with the 3.5l ecoboost engine and has received complaints of same problem on the 2015,s. Why has ford not issued a recall for the 2015 models!

On june 15, 2018 i had a tone alert and message onthe dash of my 2015 f150 appear while the truck was in motion indicating a "low brake fluid" warning. I applied the brake pedal and it appeared to be normal.i traveled a short distance to a parking lot and stopped.i returned after 20 minutes and when i stepped on the brake to start the truck the brake pedal went all the way to the firewall.i raised the hood and saw about 1/8 inch of fluid in the reservoir. I called aaa having the vehicle towed to tri-lakes ford in branson missouri.the diagnosis was master cylinder and brake booster failure.
Electric throttle body repair. 16b32 is the code. My truck shut off on me on the highway almost hurting or killing me. This is a brand new vehicle i bought 8 months ago 8000 miles.
While using the adaptive cruise control on my 2015 ford f-150 (king ranch), my truck will confuse a dump truck as a stopped or slow movingvehicle in front of my truck. This will happen if a dump truck is in the lane beside me or in opposing lanes. This occurs at sow and high speeds. Multiple times this has occurred at 65mph+ in traffic. The truck will very abruptly apply the breaks and the collision warning system will alert. This has almost caused very serious wrecks due to the speeds that it often occurs. This is also not a seldom occurance, it happens every time i pass by a dump truck. It will occur on any and every street. I took the vehicle to a ford delearship and their solution had no effect on the issue.
I was towing/driving with an airstream travel trailer in the georgia mountains when smoke started rising out of the dash with an electrical burning smell. Then the brakes seized on the trailer. I was blocking the road but thankful i was not driving at highway speed. The trailer systems were checked for a short- nothing. Then the truck was taken to a ford dealer in cleveland, ga who tested the oem brake controller on a different trailer and it did the same thing and burned some more.they replaced the unit and i returned home; however, searching the internet i discovered others who have experienced the same issue. This is not a safe situation and the unit is a feature of the truck from ford, not third party.
I was driving to work at ~65mph during rush hour and the brakes failed. First a warning light about low brake fluid then followed immediately by complete brake failure. I was lucky and got to the shoulder and coasted until stopping. The truck has been at the dealership for almost a month (still don't have the vehicle back).
Brake failure at 54,000 miles with no warning. Master cylinder failed allowing the brake fluid to by pass the seals and leaked into the power booster. I was trveling down the road at 55 mph and the brake pedal went directly to the floor with no warning at a intersection. Ford had a recall in 2014 for the same situation but nothing has been done about the 2015 model. Several people has complained on this issue.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving approximately 65 mph, the 'low brake fluid' message suddenly displayed and the brake pedal extended to the floorboard when attempting to slow down the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to lawhorn ford (2434 lakeway dr, russell springs, ky) where it was diagnosed that the brake seal had ruptured and the master cylinder and brake booster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000. Jft*pmmanufacturer stated that they could not provide assistance because there were no recalls for the vehicle. *dl
Driving home brake light low fluid alarm comes on. Worried i go to apply the brakes and the petal goes to the floor. I am travelingeastbound on a freeway (summerlin parkway) down a hill. I start to panic a little bit. Lucky for me traffic was light and through a combination of coasting and brake i manage to slow down and get to the side of the road. I check the brake fluid reservoir and it is low. I lump the truck to the next exit and stop at o'reilly auto parts. I by a quart of brake fluid and put it into the car. Brakes are back and light goes out. I start driving home and 4 miles dow. The road the low brake light fluid light comes back on. I stop off my exit to my house and buy more brake fluid from autozone. Light goes out again and i limp the truck home. Today i had it towed to team ford dealership to have it looked at.
Sudden loss of braking fluid and power while in motion. Fluid filled the booster with about 4 inches of braking fluid from reservoir
Driving on expressway brake fluid light went on when i got off on the exit ramp i went to hit the brakes and the brake peddle went to the floor and i didn't have any brakes. I was able to eventually get the truck to stop but i had to downshift and running off the pavement. Called tow truck had trucked towed to webb ford highland, in.
On morning of 5/25/19, i was traveling in kentucky about 180 miles from home, when i received a low brake fluid message.the brake fluid tank was about 1/2 full. I was in town and went ahead and picked up a bottle of recommended fluid and added a bit more,and error light went out. Brake pressure seemed good at that time. A few miles down the road i lost all brake pressure. The pedal went to the floor, no brake at all. I was on a two lane road and let the truck coast until i could pull it off the side of highway. I checked the brake fluid level again and tank was totally empty. I called a tow truck and had it towed to closest ford dealership. I had to catch a ride to pick up a rental to drive home. Dealership found master cylinder leaking into brake booster. They replaced both brake master cylinder and booster. They checked for recalls on this issue but this year and model truck is not included in any recalls. We picked up the repaired truck on 5/31. We were about two miles down the road after picking up, and the check engine light came on. We turned around and took truck back to dealership. They checked error code and turned off message. We were about 80 miles down road when check engine light came on again. We drove about 100 miles to home and called our local ford dealership. They foundtake fluid was clogging the vac supply and the manifold intake. They had to remove the manifold intake to clean all the brake fluid out of the vaccine hoses. Final repair was on june 7. Both repairs totaled $1337.15, and a car rental and an extra night's hotel stay.all the financial charges seem minor compared to the scare we had on a narrow two lane highway with no brakes. We feel blessed we were able to safely pull car off the road.this model truck should be included in fords brake recall before someone has a major accident.
I depressed brake pedal to start truck. Once truck started the pedal went all the way to the floor and the brake warning light on the dash illuminated.tried moving the truck a couple feet to see if i had brakes, and the truck did not stop when the pedal was depressed.used the emergency brake to stop.checked the master cylinder, it was empty.i added about 10 oz. Of brake fluid, pumped up the brakes and it worked.drove about 8 minutes to work, brakes ok. I returned to the truck after work, about 10 hours and the pedal went to the floor again and no brakes.i filled master cylinder again and was able to drive home.i drove very slowly and carefully because i expected to brakes to fail at any time.i live 5 miles from work.if it was any more i would have had the truck towed.i will have it towed to the dealer in the morning.
Brake failure, brake fluid loss into master cylinder resulting in brake pedal going all the way to floor, no braking power. Truck was in motion in a mountain region which could have been very serious.
While sitting stopped at a red light when i felt a lite thump on the brake pedal then the brake pedal went to the floor. No light or warning sounds at all. Pumped pedal and brakes were ok. Got home shut offand stepped on petal and it went to floor again. Checked fluid and it was low so i filled up with dot 3 fluid. Then i noticed fluid on driveway on right side near front wheel. Looked under truck and noticed fluid all over. Upon looking further it was coming from the right front brake hose. I think this is a pre-mature failure of the brake hose. I ordered this truck and took delivery in september 2015 and it only has 64,000 miles on it. The thing that scares me most is i just got done driving back from florida to nj towing my wifes 2018 ford escape on a tow dolly. God if that happened towing we would have had an accident. I know their is a recall for the master cyl. That just came out 6/2020 but i think you should look into their brake hoses also. I will be taking it to the ford dealer in the morning (all american ford point pleasant nj 08742) (6/15/2020) and want them to fix the bad hose and change all the rubber brake hoses. I do not feel safe now that 1 hose blew out in only 4yrs 9 mos. I do have an extended warranty so that should be covered. I have owned several new vehicles in my life time and never had a brake hose blow out like this.....i'm 67 yrs old.
Had my boat trailer (9000lbs with electric/hyd breaks) hooked up , was trying to backup my steep driveway and the truck slid a bit forward in reverse and i tried to hit the break pedal but no action so had to turn quickly into the street to avoid an danger, was able to stop the truck on the flat street and low 4 wheel drive on. Stop the engine and tried the breaks and they were working fine. Did not think more about it until i saw this concern on the news and therefor a bit late reporting it.
I was driving on city streets when this happened. My 'brake fluid low' light came on and a few minutes later i lost all brake power. The brake pedal went straight to the floor. After getting the vehicle to my dealer, they determined the brake cylinder had failed and the brake cylinder and brake booster needed to be replaced. I have attached the dealer invoice showing the repairs, to replace the master cylinder and brake booster, which totaled $1,068.52.
Front left brake line ruptured, resulting in loss of brake fluid, depresses brake pedal goes to the floorboard.no stopping power. Backing out of driveway on this occasion.no accident. Same line on right front ruptured less than a year ago, exact same result.luckily no accident but was at a stop light on a major highway when pedal when straight to floor
Vehicle had a sudden and near complete loss of brake capability.the sudden failure was noted about 1 hour after previous, in which the vehicle had no issues and no warning lights were active. Brake pedal went down to the floor and the "low brake fluid" light came on and war ning sounded from the console.brakes provided minimal response and largely had to slow down by coasting.no external leaks were visible from the vehicle not did any of the brake lines appear to be damaged.when i checked under the hood, the brake fluid reserve was below the "min" line.topping it off with brake fluid it did not resolve the problem and the level went back to below "min" after about a 4 mile drive.taking vehicle to dealership this evening to ascertain cause of sudden failure.
Driving down the road, the low brake fluid light came on, the first time i had to stop, i had no brakes. Pedal went down to the floor. Just missed hitting the car in front of me. There was no warning from the time the light came on and having no brakes. It was the first depression of the pedal following the light. I was on thomasville road in tallahassee at 6:30 in the morning, light traffic, four lane road, 45mph. Firestone is telling me that repairs will cost $2,500+. Truck has 60,000 miles, needs new master cylinder, booster, front calipers because the left was locking up, new front rotors, new rear rotors and read pads.
Driving vehicle.stopped at stop sign.noticed brake warning lamp on.within 3 stops pedal went to floor.checked reservoir and found fluid was completely empty.checked vehicle for leaks.found no external leaks.after towed home, removed master cylinder.found brake booster full of brake fluid.
Truck was 40 months old with 33,000 miles.no history of brake issues or brake warning lights.brake fluid low warning light came on while in motion about 1 mile from starting point.within a few minutes and 1-2 miles of continued driving the brakes completely failed.brake pedal went to floor with no braking or brake fluid pressure.truck towed to dealership with diagnosis of master cylinder rear seal leaking fluid into brake booster.this was a sudden and total failure of the braking system.hundreds of thousands of 2013 f150s were recalled for similar master cylinder failures.this is a serious safety hazard to everyone on the road.my family no longer feels safe in this truck.this sort of failure is unacceptable given current technology and engineering.poor design, poor engineering, poor quality control.this unacceptable failure endangers people and ford should be forced to recall this faulty component.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving 85 mph, the low brake fluid warning light was illuminated. The contact stated while depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle failed to stop. The contact was able to idle the vehicle speed to slow down until he was able to use the parking brake to stop the vehicle on the side of the roadway. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was towed to local dealer central ford located at 5645 firestone blvd, south gate, ca 90280, (562) 927-7888, and the dealer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle had not been diagnosed nor repaired as of yet. The vin was associated nhtsa campaign number: 20v332000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer had not been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 40,000.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving approximately 65 mph, the brakes failed and the brake pedal extended to the floorboard when depressed. The driver had to downshift and apply the parking brake to slow down and stop the vehicle. Moments before the failure, "low brake fluid" was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was towed to taylor ford (13500 telegraph rd, taylor, mi) where it was diagnosed that the brake booster and master cylinder were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 95,000.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that while reversing, the low service brakes warning light illuminated and the brake pedal was firm while being depressed. In addition, the contact mentioned after multiple times of depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal became soft and the brakes traveled to the floorboard. The parking brakes was activated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it diagnosed that the brake booster and brakes master cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact contacted brad howell ford located at 2170 e blvd st, kokomo, in 46902, where the contact was informed that the vehicle warranty was expired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 52,000.
Complete brake failure, all brake fluid leaked out with no sign of a leak.while driving on highway received a low brake fluid error on the dash and upon pressing the brakes they went all the way to the floor 2015 ford f150 king ranch with 51,000 miles.
While driving and low brake light fluid light comes on no warning. Lose all braking ability. Failure of the master brake cylinder. From looking online this is a known issue with these trucks.
I experienced a total brake failure on my 2015 ford f150. Without warning my brake pedal went to the floor followed by a warning on the dash that said 'brake fluid level low'. It was extremely lucky that i was very close to my home and traveling at a very slow speed in my neighborhood or this probably would have resulted in severe injury or death. I checked the brake fluid and it was low in the reservoir. I tried adding brake fluid, but the pedal again went to the floor after one or two pumps of the brake and the warning came on again. There was no visible signs of a leak on my driveway. The truck has only 40788.8 miles on it and has been well maintained and has had an easy life. I contacted the ford dealer in georgetown, texas for help. They had me contact ford customer care to see if they would tow it in. The vehicle was picked up from my house and taken to the dealer. The dealer diagnosed the problem and found that the brake booster and master cylinder had failed and needed to be replaced. The ford dealer reached out to ford and suggested i do the same since they have seen the same problem on other ford f150's. I contacted ford and a case was opened cas-13072940-b9v3q2. The dealer informed me on september 25th that ford closed the case since there was no outstanding field service action on the parts.i request that the nhtsa work with ford to immediately issue a recall for the 2015 f150's.i find it unacceptable that ford has already had a recall on 2013-2014 f150's for what is described as the same problem with the v6 engine combination as what we experienced on our 2015 ford f150. I have also seen articles such as the article in autoweek on october 5, 2016 that the 2015-2016's have had reports of the same failure. This is not a normal wear item and gives no warning of a pending failure.
While driving my 2015 ford f150 on a city street at 45 miles per hour the vehicle lost acceleration, rmp dropped to barely 2 and hill assist disabled light came on.glided to a red light, put the vehicle in neutral, came to a stop and kept the gas lightly pressed hoping to keep power to the engine. When lighted turned green put truck back into drive and acceleration returned. Parked at my place of business. Shut the truck off but the brake lights stayed on. Had the vehicle towed to the dealership because of concern to drive it after losing acceleration (tow truck driver call the vehicle in limp mode). The dealership found not fault codes but did find plastic pieces on the floor board. Dealership said it was a "broken brake pedal" - a small plastic disc (grommet) inside the brake assembly broke into pieces causing loss f acceleration, the electronic messaging system to disable hill assist andthe brake lights to remain on. Dealership said they have seen this in ford fusions but not in an f150. The new brake assembly is a total redesign from the the one that the vehicle was built with. The image on the left is the broken brake assemble (the finger is pointing to the damaged item), the part on the right where you will see the small white disc (grommet) is the replacement brake assembly. I purchased the vehicle new in 2015 and have been the only owner. My vehicle has 54k miles, is driven locally, not used to tow or off road and is garaged when not in use. A vehicle loosing acceleration while driving is a major safely concern and i hope this will be investigated as it is a known issue in other ford vehicles.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While the vehicle was in reverse, the brakes failed when depressed and the low brake fluid warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was towed to alan jay ford lincoln (3201 us hwy 27 s, sebring, fl 33870, (863) 385-0144) where it was diagnosed that the master cylinder and booster needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired on march 20, 2019. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 102,000. *dt
While driving to work yesterday morning on the freeway my "low brake fluid" warning came on. As i tried to stop after exiting the freeway, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor with what felt like was no pressure.only after fully seating the pedal to the floor was i able to get the brakes to grab and get stopped. Luckily it was early morning and traffic was minimal.when i checked my brake fluid it was well below the minimum level mark. Using another vehicle at work, i went and bought a small bottle of fluid and put the entire thing into the reservoir, bringing up to about half way between min and max.over the next 10 minutes we watched the level slowly drop down below the min line and beyond.i drove back to the store and bought a large bottle of fluid, having decided i was going to take the truck to the dealership. I filled the reservoir to the max line and set out at a slow speed using side streets. I hadn't went 2 miles when the "low brake fluid" light came on again. I checked the level, again down below min, and i again refilled the reservoir, using the rest of the bottle, and continued on....once again within 2 miles the light returned. I never really had brake pressure throughout this time.never once did i find evidence of a leak.today the dealership called and told me my master cylinder and brake booster both need replaced, and the fluid was building inside the booster, hence no puddle.my truck is only 4 years old, with less than 54,000 miles on it so it seems early in its life to have this system fail suddenly.after doing some research online, including this site, i've seen that this isn't quite as uncommon as i originally thought it would be. There seems to have been many instances of this year/make/model of truck losing its brake system around the same mileage or earlier.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 70 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, but failed to stop the vehicle. In addition, the low brake fluid warning indicator illuminated. In order to stop the vehicle, the emergency brake was applied. The contact also mentioned that he had to drive with the emergency brake applied until he reached his destination. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 104,167.
Break master cylinder and break booster went out.no notice when driving.
I have experienced an egregious safety issue with my vehicle whereas the braking system has failed. This morning while on the interstate to bring my two kids (3 yrs old and 12 months old) to daycare, my dashboard indicated "brake fluid level low." while i continued to drive, i assumed perhaps the brake fluid may need to be topped off for whatever reason. However, to my surprise- about a mile further i discovered that the brakes were inoperable and i immediately panicked. I took it upon myself to get to the shoulder of the highway and allow the vehicle to come to a rolling stop and inch toward the nearest exit. Fearing for the lives of myself and two children, i further inched toward the nearest parking lot (burger king) where i could have my family removed from harm's way. The brakes are totally unusable and when applying the brake pedal, the pedal goes all the way down to the floorboard. There is no pressure or resistance as the brakes would present themselves when working properly. I refuse to drive this vehicle with this issue and am now demanding safety recall.my vehicle was towed to butch oustalet ford of gulfport, ms on 7/12/2019. My service advisor, zach kunz, advised that the braking system has indeed failed. Specifically, the seal on the master cylinder became defective and caused the brake fluid to spill into the brake booster. This was a sudden and total failure of the braking system. I was further advised that this is not covered under any warranty and that teh repair costs were upwards of $900. I am now stuck paying $900 for a prolific safety defect where ford's failure almost caused fatality of myself and children. I am demanding that this be placed on mandatory recall, at the expense of ford motor company. Current mileage: 90758
While driving on a city street,brake level low light illuminated followed by total loss brakes when attempting to stop. Checked master cylinder and it was empty. Added fluid to the full line and it continued to drain away.problem was fluid leaking into the brake booster.a similar problem wasexperienced in the 2013-2014 f150 which resulted in a recall by ford.problem occurred today (the fourth of july).all repair shops were closed so no repair cist are available yet.
The contact owned a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving at 55 mph and starting to fall asleep behind the wheel, the vehicle veered to the left to avoid crashing into a tree but when the brake pedal was pressed it failed to stop the vehicle. As a result, the contact crashed into a tree. The air bags did not deploy. The contact (driver) sustained chest, head, and a fractured sternum injuries when he hit the steering wheel and his girlfriend (front passenger) sustained a back injuries. Both injuries requested medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was towed via flatbed to impound lot. The vehicle was destroyed. The vehicle was not diagnosed.a dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 20,000.consumer stated i'm very surprised to hear that travelers insurance company just towed and destroyed the vehicle when i expressly told them that the airbags did not deploy andthat the medical benefits were maxed out. I thought for sure that insurance companies dissected vehicles in such major accidents and being notified by the owner that the equipment was faulty that they did not do a post mortem. My girlfriend got a broken back in the injury, had to have surgery and will most likely be in pain for the rest of her life. I could not work or lift anything over 6 months until my sternum healed itself and had to live through pain while i healed. I still feel a small feeling in my chest.
My truck was being repaired for light front end deer hit. The technician was backing my truck into the cleanup bay and the brakes failed completely. Another tech had to manually stop the truck from rolling. I contacted my dealer and was told that their is no recall fir this year and i was stuck paying the bill. 40 year ford guy seriously looking into dodge. I can't have the safety of my family jeopardized.
Spongy brakes and pedal goes low. A vehicle report was completed with the truck running connecting to ford via my cell phone. A issue was detected.then run again.detected again.then run again a hour or so later and not detected. I see a recall inquiry has been open on 2015-2016 f150 with the v6 3.6l engine. Mine is a 5.0v8.
This is the fourth time i'm reporting this. Although my vehicle should have qualified for ford's recall 15s29, i was never notified. But i have mentioned it to my dealer 3 or 4 different times. They always tell me there's nothing they can do. So here's the issue. When driving on the highway, my truck thinks i'm going to hit something and the alert lights and sounds come on (and once since i had adaptive cruise control on, it applied the brakes at 70 mph). This is not safe. The dealerships say there is nothing they can do to fix my truck, yet the issue keeps happening.
Brake warning lights come on with low fluid warning; lost braking when pedal went to floor shortly thereafter when i was on expressway.i avoided accident barely. I keep adding fluid, but no sign of leaking that i can see, but getting white smoke from exhaust . Very dangerous!
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While starting the vehicle, the low brake fluid level warning indicator illuminated. The contact refilled the brake fluid and the warning indicator turned off. When the vehicle was started, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The contact rechecked the brake fluid level and saw no leaks underneath the vehicle. Malouf ford lincoln (2210 us highway 1, north brunswick township, nj 08902, (732) 951-0300) stated that there were no recalls; therefore, the contact would have to pay for the repairs. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 53,300.
Driving down the road early in the morning and lost both front and back brakes.when the brake was pressed down completely the truck did not stop; pumping the brake caused the truck to slow but not quickly.we saw an empty mall area and headed towards the parking lot and coasted to a stop. Had we been on the freeway or later in the day during traffic this could have been a serious accident.we were driving on a 2 lane road in a city area going about 40 mph.we were very very lucky - this could easily cause a serious accident.local brake company were able to get the brakes working and we drove the truck back to the house - a few hour drive.received notice of the recall about 3-4 days after the brakes failed and we did not drive the truck.we called the dealer and they told us nothing could be done because the fix had not been solved by ford, we asked if the truck was drivable and they could not answer as the recall is unclear.we asked the dealer if we could drop truck off and they could fix and they told us no because they did not have parts and did not know what the fix was going to be.called ford and talked to a customer service person and they called the dealership and had them take the truck since neither ford or the dealer could tell us if the truck was drivable.the dealer told us they would look at the truck to determine if the truck was drivable - that was june 27, 2020 and we have not heard back from dealer.called dealer again on 07.16.20 and talked and they still did not know and would call back, no call back as of 11pm 06/18/2020
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving approximately 40 mph, the brakes engaged independently and the vehicle stopped abruptly without warning. The vehicle was driven to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the brake controller seized the trailer brake. The vehicle was repaired.the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 4,000.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving approximately 25 mph, the low brake fluid indicator illuminated. The contact pulled over at a fuel station and filled up the brake fluid reservoir. The contact continued to drive and the low brake fluid indicator illuminated again. In addition, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle was taken to sill-terhar ford (303-469-1801, located at 190 alter st, broomfield, co 80020) where it was diagnosed that the brake fluid might have leaked into the brake booster system. The vehicle was left at the dealer's for a complete diagnostic test. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 54,000.
Brake light came on lost all use of brakes whithin 5 minutes while driving 70 mph on highway. I was driving with the flow of traffic on a flat surface.
Driving vehicle on country roads at approximately 30mph, a low brake fluid warning was observed.stopped vehicle and checked, fluid was near min fill line in reservoir.turned around to return home and within less than 1 mile all brake function ceased and upon coasting to stop, brake fluid reservoir was checked again and found empty.checked under vehicle and at each brake cylinder, found no indication of leaking.had truck towed to dealer (timber ford, hayward wi).they confirmed the issue was an internal leak of brake fluid in the master cylinder. Replaced brake master cyclinder, brake booster and brake vacuum pump assembly for $1000.76vehicle had 59,663 miles at the time of service. I was able to manage my way back home using downshifting and emergency braking, however, this condition would have been very dangerous if i would have made it another mile further and been on the highway at high speed and more traffic.
On july 21, 2018 while driving home from lake ray roberts at 10:30 pm a low fluid level warning appeared on the console of my 2015 f-150 truck.the warning was shortly followed with total brake system failure.after further inspection the fluid from the brake master cylinder had drained into the brake booster.this resulted in total loss of hydraulic brakes and a requirement to use the emergency brake to stop the vehicle.
I lost all break function while traveling 40 mph and had to use my e-brake to come to a stop. Ford and my local ford dealership admit that the issue was a defective brake fluid master cylinder.
1) passenger side engine exhaust manifold leak, loud at cold start up, decreases as engine warms up. While driving a reduction of gas mileage of 2 miles per gallon have been observed,performance issues towing trailers.2) parking brakes do not hold vehicle securely, in fact with brand new parking brakes fully set all the way to the floor one can easily drive away.
Brakes completely failed while trying to stop from 35 mph at a stop sign entered highway 260 in overgaard az - crossed the highway applying full pressure on brake pedal and using parking brake - came to a stop and checked the fluid level all brake fluid was gone, added 12 oz of dot 4 fluid and backed the truck up and parked in a another place to check for leaks - checked the level and all fluid was gone again.no sign of leakage.dealer looked at the vehicle on 8/9 and determined that the brake fluid was leaking from the master cylinder into the brake booster.
I was driving down the highway, with no cruise control on, and suddenly my sensors go off as if i was about to hit something. Then after a second (probably was only a split-second, but it felt like forever), it went away. If adaptive cruise control would have been enabled, this would have caused the brakes to automatically press (i know because this has happened to me before). This is a very dangerous issue (sensors thinking they are going to hit something, when it should be nothing). I wish i had a video of it happening, but it only has happened 3 times for at most 3 seconds in the the 1.5 years i have owned the vehicle.
11jun20190600 - pulling into parking space at gas station and warning light comes on for low brake fluid. Brakes still operating normally at this point. I leave the gas station and drive approximately a mile to the closest store to purchase brake fluid, presuming only a top off is required. By the time i get to the store, braking has diminished by 90%. I have the truck towed to the closest ford dealership, where they diagnose the problem as failure in brake master cylinder, with brake fluid leaking into brake booster, resulting in total loss of braking.
Truck was in motion (straight lane) on dry pavement street.driver pushed on brakes to stop and nothing happened.truck kept moving forward and hit a stopped car waiting at a red light.after impact, the truck was driven to the curb and was able to come to a complete stop with the brakes.
While driving to work.brake fluid low warning illuminated and complete loss of brakes.this came on very fast.within 10 mins of leaving home.further inspection, once at my office, found there was no brake fluid leaking from the lines, calipers, or exterior of master cylinder.brake fluid must have leaked into the booster.
My girlfriend and i were driving down the highway on a sunny day at around 70 mph. I was using adaptive cruise control. There were other cars on the road, but none within distance to affect my speed/cruise control (they were all way ahead or behind). All of a sudden, for about a half second, my truck flashed the warning light and sound as if i was going to hit something, and it automatically pressed the brake for me. It was very scary and dangerous. Then it came out of the warning and we continued on our way (we were in a bit of shock). I of course turned off the adaptive cruise control so the vehicle was under my complete control. Thinking back, i'm wondering if the shadow from an overpass caused my truck to think there was a vehicle close and an impending crash. Either way, it was very unsafe, and i'm hoping it doesn't happen again to me, or anyone else.
2015 ford f-150. Consumer writes in regards to several defects with vehicle. *ldthe consumer stated there were multiple instances where the vehicle stalled, the check engine light illuminated. The steering gear, steering shaft, steering wheel needed to be replaced. The consumer blew the horn and a whole was punctured in the steering wheel. The wrench light illuminated. There was a fluid leak from the rear left axle. The shutter grille actuator became unplugged.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. When the contact's wife was driving 45 mph, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when it was depressed. Also, the low brake fluid warning indicator illuminated. The emergency brake had to be engaged to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to courtesy ford (6393 us-98, hattiesburg, ms 39402, (601) 264-5555) where the master cylinder, brake booster, and brake booster sensor were replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but did not assist. The failure mileage was 77,566. *pm
After leaving the gym one morning, i went to the parking lot and started my truck. Instantly a low brake fluid warning light shows up, which i thought was weird because my brakes felt completely normal driving to the gym. I tested the brakes and immediately pushed the pedal to the floorboard without resistance. I went outside and noticed no leaks anywhere along the brake system. Popped the hood and the brake fluid reservoir was completely empty, but no leaks. Hopped back in and tested the brakes while driving in the parking lot. I had about 5% braking power, at best. Started reading online and found hundreds of complaints about people's brakes going out in the same fashion. Instant failure. Luckily mine was very early in the morning while parked in an empty parking lot. Others had it happen while driving on a freeway, towing a trailer, much more dangerous situations. All had the same issue - failed seal at the master cylinder, allowing the vacuum in the booster to instantly suck all the brake fluid out. I had the truck towed to the dealership and sure enough, failed master cylinder and ruined booster. $1000 to fix. I read elsewhere that ford changed oem manufacturers for the master cylinder at some point, which the dealership confirmed. Also, this issue is under official investigation #rq16001, but has yet to be an official recall. Considering recalls were issued for 2013 and 2014 models for the same reason, and the over 600 complaints i've found for the same reasons for 2015, i find it unacceptable this hasn't been officially recalled yet. This could have been an incredibly dangerous situation.
I was driving on a city street when my brake fluid warning light came on. I stopped in a parking lot to check the brake fluid reservoir and discovered it was almost empty. When i restarted the truck the brake pedal went completely to the floor, so the truck had to be towed to the closest auto center because there was no braking ability! we were informed that the brake master cylinder had failed - the brake fluid was leaking into the brake booster sensor. A brake master cylinder should not fail on a new vehicle that has only been on the road 2.5 years and driven only 48,000 miles!
The factory/ dealer installed tow brake controller does not apply enough brake power to stop trailer. When towing my 5th wheel(10000lbs)it works fine when i manually apply the override button but when i apply the brake pedal the trailer brakes don't get the command to engage with enough power to stop trailer, my truck is doing almost all of the braking. I have read online where many ford f 150 owners are having similar issues. Ford says there is nothing wrong. I have been towing using the manual override switch or learning to slam on the brakes to stop. The trailer brakes do work almost when i slam on the brake pedal. I am sure that this shouldn't be happening because it's not safe.
Master cylinder leaking into brake booster. Only warning is low brake fluid light. Known issue on 13, 14 ecoboost models. Just driving down the interstate and low brake fluid level warning came on . Pulled over and put more fluid in master cylinder. By the time we got to the end of parking lot needed fluid again. Took to ford dealer where they said needed new master cylinder and brake booster replaced. Parts and labor over $900. This should not be a normal failure for a truck that has less than 62000 miles on it. Thankfully we did not have a more catastrophic situation.
I was driving on the street the brake indicator low brake fluid light came on suddenly. I stepped on the brake paddle and there were no brakes. I shifted to 1st gear and coasted to side of the street. I checked reservoir and it was very low. I filled the reservoir but was empty in a few minutes but i did not see any leaks anywhere.
My truck was serviced with complete fluids and systems check on july 2nd, 2020 reporting everything in the green check zone. Saturday august 1st, 2020 while returning from a family trip, the brake warning light came on indicating a brake problem. The brakes were applied to ensure that they were working and when applied, there was no braking power and the pedal went straight to the floor. When we were finally able to stop we rolled into a gas station and opened the hood to check the brake fluid level and it was empty. So we purchased two bottles of brake fluid to refill the reservoir thinking that maybe the service person forgot to refill the brake fluid. Once we filled the reservoir and pumped the brakes a bit they got tight so we got back on the road. As soon as we pulled onto the road and began to drive the brake warning signal came on again. Again, we pulled over to check for leaks, which there were none. And again, the brake reservoir was empty. Again we purchase more brake fluid and additional bottles and refill the reservoir to the fill line. We drove around the parking lot quite a bit before we decided to get back on the road due to the vehicle seeming to function normally. At this point we enter the highway and drove to our area near the dealer. When exiting the highway a great deal of smoke came from the back of our car that smelled like brake fluid. We pulled over and again there was nothing leaking. We still seemed to have some breaking ability so drove the truck to the car dealership to park it for them to take a look at to do repairs. Upon doing some research i saw that ford motor company just announced the beginnings of a recall on june 6 for this same problem on this year vehicle.
I was on my way to work one morning when i noticed my break pedal seems to be going lower than normal. After driving a little more it seemed to be ok. As i got about half way across houston, i was coming t a red light and when i hit my breaks they went completely to the floor and i went through a red light. Luckily it was so early that there was not much traffic. I called roadside to row my truck to the ford dealer to find that this seems to be an ongoing issue with trucks around this year model, and the master cylinder is on recall until (hopefully) aug, 22. That's is a full month without my truck. There has currently been no recalls on these models, but if there is not one soon, someone is going t get seriously injured or even killed with this default. ( i only have 5600 miles on this truck by the way).
After about 35,000 miles i started noticing a vibration when i applied the brakes. Took to a ford dealer who inspected the brake pads and rotors and was told everything was fine. Took to christian brothers one month later and was told the rotors were warped and needed to be resurfaced. 80% of my driving is interstate travel with very little stop and go. I also do not drive around with one foot on the brake all the time. Therefore my guess is that this was caused by a design problem of some sort. Rotor should obviously last much longer.
From day one the passenger side shoulder harness periodically wouldn't take hold, forcing passenger to slide seat well back from dashboard to avoid injury.it was replaced once and is better than before but still occasionally fails.brakes were extremely grabby from day one, but we drove the vehicle for 30000 miles before taking it in due to vibration during any braking since approx 25000 miles.rotors were rturned and finally the vehicle brakes normally, helpful because it is less likely that braking will send passenger lurching forward when faulty shoulder harness won't hold.
While driving straight on freeway at 75 mph, "brake fluid low" warning came on dashboard followed by complete loss of braking abilities.road conditions allowed time for vehicle to slow its velocity, followed by use of emergency brake to stop.vehicle was towed to dealership for inspection.this vehicle had no history of braking problems or issues.
2015 f150, lariate, crew cab. Completely lost the brakes without any warning, pedal went straight to the floor, warning lights came on. Had to hit the ditch to avoid slamming into the back of a school bus.
"check brake system" lights keeps coming on for no reason when going 40mph or more.only one time i have experience some brake loss in pedal pressure it took longer to brake. Especially on freeway. Brake fluid keeps going low more then more then normal. I've check brakes each one and have found noting. Brake pads are good and clean brakes and rotor and still same problem. Brakes keeps making noise when braking.it happens all the time i get on freeway. "check brake system" . It happenedsecond day out the dealer.
Brake fluid is leaking. I was driving and all of a sudden my brakes went all the way to the floor and i nearly lost control of the vehicle. I also got a notice of low brake fluid, so i put some in and a few days later it was low again. I noticed that it is leaking out onto other parts under my hood.
Brake failure, no brake warning lights. Peddle provided some braking initially, then peddle fades to floor and braking diminishes to not able to hold vehicle to complete stop, even at idle speed. Pumping peddle will restore same sequence. I would think this would be extremely scary to novice drivers and cause injury, death or collision with high probability. Especially with absence of warning lamps indication.first time problem noted on near zero degree f. Morning shortly after leaving early am on highway.suspect problem to be master brake cylinder. Brake fluid level has not changed, search for external leaks in braking systems revealed no visible leaks.vehicle currently in to service this at francios ford bellville wi.
On 09/22/2019 while driving, on a local city street, where the speed limits vary from 30-45 mph, my brakes became completely ineffective while driving in a 45 mph zone.my vehicle is a 2015 ford f-150 with 63,000 miles. I inspected the brake fluid reservoir, and it was completely empty with no sign of leakage anywhere.i did a quick search on this issue and learned that ford had issued a recall for the same issues on the 2013-2014 models, but not 2015 and up, which are now experiencing the same symptoms.the vehicle is currently at a local ford dealership where i am finding it difficult to get a resolution. The dealership has confirmed at this point that it is the brake master cylinder that has leaked fluid into the brake booster, which caused the loss of brakes, and is the exact same problem as the recall for the previous year models.the dealership is supposed to provide me with an estimate of the repairs, but have yet to do so after a week of being at the dealership.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While the cruise control was activated, the vehicle braked abruptly. The collision warning indicator illuminated and a chiming sound was heard. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (watertown ford located at 1600 9th ave se watertown, sd 57201) where it was diagnosed, but not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened case number: 12350340. The failure mileage was 19,200.
I was driving the the truck this morning and after the 3rd traffic light suddenly i lost break and barely able to stop. I pulled to a gas station slowly. I noticed break fluid was below minimum. Filled upbreak fluid to maximum. I tried to drive to ford dealer ship but after a few minutes i had no break again so i had vehicle towed to veterens ford tampa.
While trying to stop at a busy intersection my brakes completely failed. Seconds later i noticed a brake fluid warning light. Upon investigation, brake fluid was very low. Added more fluid to correct the issue, only to be in the same situation a few miles down the road. Ford customer service has been very unhelpful. Parts agents hung up on me, and no guidance as to where i can find replacement parts. Vehicle is currently parked and can't be driven until fixed. I bought aftermarket parts and have to miss days of work and pay for a rental. There is only 68k miles on the truck and 3 years old. Ford knows about this and has not issued any recalls. I hope this is addressed before someone is seriously injured or dies. They are not willing to talk about it on their chat line.
While driving in downtown traffic on a city street, the low brake fluid indicator came on as well as the brake warning light. The brake pedal went nearly to the floor and braking ability was severely diminished. I happened to be close to an auto parts store so i filled up the fluid reservoir with approximately 24 oz. Of brake fluid. Within about 3 miles the lights came on and brakes failed again. My wife brought more brake fluid to me and i added approximately 24 oz. More. I barely made it home, another 5 miles, as the brakes were failing and the reservoir was empty again. There is no sign of a leak. After checking online and discussing with a ford service representative, this appears to be a common defect where a seal in the master cylinder has failed and the brake fluid is being sucked into the brake booster.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving, the contact attempted to stop the vehicle, but the brake pedal traveled all the way to the floorboard. The contact had to apply the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. In addition, the low brake fluid message appeared on the message center. The contact went to the nearest parts store and purchased the approved brake fluid. He filled the reservoir and the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the vehicle had a cracked brake line and the fluid was leaking, which needed replacement. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 79,500.
While driving my local roads at about 45 mph i received a warning on the dash for "low brake fluid" followed by a solid lit brake light on the dash. I made it home with noticeably spongy brake pedaling. I opened the hood to see the brake fluid reservoir was empty down to the sensor connected on the side. I filled it with the appropriate brake fluid to just below the max line. I pumped the brake pedal until it felt normal again. It has not moved since yesterday (april 8 2020). Today (april 9 2020), i go to take a short trip for coffee. When i start the truck and touch the brake pedal it went immediately to the floor with no resistance. Without attempting to move the truck, i immediately popped the hood and saw that the reservoir was completely empty this time. Overnight it appears that the entirety of the brake res. Was drained and it had not been driven since being topped off. No leaking under the truck nor on the driveway has been noticed. It is being towed to ford dealer service department today for this brake issue. I'm lucky i was not going at higher speeds when this occurred seemingly so abruptly. I hope it's fixed and recalled soon. My ford dealer informs me that it's not currently covered under a recall.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. When the brake pedal was engaged at low speeds around 5 mph, a metal to metal rubbing noise was heard and the steering wheel vibrated. The vehicle was taken to brighton ford (190 west bromley lane, brighton, co 80601, (303) 800-3235) where they test drove the vehicle and duplicated the failure. The dealer stated that the noise was normal and there was no failure with the brakes. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 26,000.

As i pulled out of my driveway and came to first stop the brake pedal went to the floor.took it to dealer and the master cylinder was bad.
There is an existing adaptive cruise control safety recall open for this year, make, and model, but my truck also experiences the exact same issues described by ford on their own site every time i use the adaptive cruise control: https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2015/09/30/ford-issues-five-safety-recalls-and-one-safety-compliance-recall.htmli'm sure that the existing safety recall needs to be expanded to additional vins within the f-150 range of vehicles. It is extremely dangerous in the way it currently operates.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that the brakes failed to operate properly. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 23.

The contact mentioned that brake fluid was added to the vehicle; however, the brake failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to j.c. Lewis ford (9505 abercorn st, savannah, ga 31406, (912) 216-2918) where the master cylinder, booster vacuum valves, vacuum lines, and stop lamp switch were replaced. In addition, the brake system was flushed. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 54,989. Updated 10/15/18
Completely lost brakes while pulling a car trailer and car on highway.no leaks, but master cylinder completely dry. Refilled and went 20 miles and empty again. Master was leaking fluid into booster and being sucked into engine and burning it. Had to use emergency brake and downshift transmission to stop.truck was towed to ford for repair. Ford customer service wouldn't help with repair until they are told to recall them by government. Someone is going to get killed. Brakes were gone in an instant
Complete front brake failure
Driving at 65 mph on the highway went to stop for traffic and brake pedal went to the floor. Warning light appeared and said brake fluid was low, brake light on dash board came on. Added brake fluid and within 10 miles the same thing happen again. Had to have the vechicle towed.
While driving on the highway, the vehicle suddenly lost all ability to brake. The foot pedal went down to the floor with no resistance or action on the vehicle. The parking brake also failed all ability to slow down or stop the vehicle. By some miracle i was able to get in the emergency lane and let the vehicle eventually slow down and come to a stop. The sudden loss of brakes happened while i was driving on a straight highway, with no obstacles of any type on the road and no evidence of damage to the vehicle. I have a video taken while waiting on the tow truck, showing the brake pedal going straight to the floor.
Complete brake failure. Brake fluid low level light illuminated while driving a very busy road and within 2 minutes the master cylinder had depleted all fluid and brake pedal was going all the way to floor board. Luckily the wife was able to get the truck into a parking lot unscathed. Truck has been at dealer for a week due to master cylinder being on backorder. Apparently the issue affecting 2013-2014 f-150s is also affecting 2015s as well. Truck has approx. 15k miles.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph and attempting to slow down, the brakes malfunctioned and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The contact released the accelerator pedal and merged over to the median of the road. The contact pumped the brake pedal several times, but it traveled to the floorboard again. The vehicle eventually slowed down to a stop. When the contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, the low brake fluid message appeared. The contact slowly drove to an auto store to purchase more brake fluid, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to bill knight ford (9607 s memorial dr, tulsa, ok 74133, (888) 464-2411) where it was in the process of being diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified.

On friday may 29 2020 i had to stop for an emergency vehicle and my truck lost all brakes it went right to the floor under normal use they appear to work at about 75% my vehicle was in motion on a city street going straight.
On wednesday i had the oil changed at the dealership. After returning home i checked all fluid levels, including brake fluid. All okay. Four days later when i got in the truck and started the engine. I got a warning light about the brakes. Upon inspection the master cylinder was empty. I could not find any sign of a leak any where. I assume the master cylinder is leaking out the back into the booster. There was no sign of gradual loss of braking performance. The truck will be brought to the dealership tomorrow.
While driving my truck on the highway at 65 mph, i entered the off ramp and applied pressure on my brake pedal.my brakes failed and the brake pedal went to the floor.i quickly applied my parking brake, locking up the rear wheels.with no load in the bed of the truck, i slid for what seemed to be hundreds of feet before coming to a stop.fortunately, there was no one in front of me during the skid.i took it to a tire repair vendor close by, and they diagnosed it as a master cylinder failure that also ruined the brake booster.i called ford customer service, and opened a case for my vehicle.i have read that the 2013 and 2014 models of the f150 with the 3.5l engine were recalled for this problem, but that 2015 models such as mine have not been included as of this date.
When i applied brake pedal it went to the floor . I drove to ford dealer immediately and they could not duplicate problem. It happened again before i got home. Ford service technition said there was a recall for this problem. I have not received a notification for this problem.
I noticed the front passenger brake overheating. The place i bought it from agree to replace pads and rotors. That didn't fix it, took it to ford and they replaced caliper, but that didn't fix it.now its at ford again! front passenger brakeoverheating even more than before! i'm afraid to drive it with my family in it for fear of potential brake failure/fire!truck is at mullinax ford on northlake blvd in palm beach gardens florida.
On february 17, 2016 i experienced total brake loss of my 2015 f-150. The brake loss occurred at low speed, less than 10mph. I had to frantically pump the brakes to stop on a flat level surface. Where the brake loss occurred there was no snow or ice. I took the vehicle to the ford dealer and they said they could not find any issues. No warning lights turned on. The vehicle brakes functioned normally until today when i again experienced total loss of brakes! again it was at low speed, this time on a steep grade with minor snow accumulation. The anti lock brakes did not activate and the brake pedal went to the floor. I was barely able to stop the vehicle when i reached a level surface. As of today the brake pedal continues to go to the floor. The vehicle brakes seem to function ok at high speeds, however while parked at a stop light the pedal continues to depress. I called ford because i am very concerned about what is happening., however they do not seem to take the complaint seriously. I asked them to tow the vehicle to a dealership because it's under warranty and i also have roadside assistance and an extended warranty. I was told by ford that they could not tow it until next wednesday. I finally ended up driving an unsafe vehicle over 45 miles to a dealership. The vehicle will be looked at tomorrow, hopefully!!!this is a dangerous situation that has happened twice, and i feel ford is sweeping it under the rug. Please look into this before someone needlessly dies. Thank you!
As i was driving on a city street, the light on the cluster came on telling me that the brake fluid was low in the master cylinder. I verified it by checking the fluid. I went to an auto parts store and wound up putting three 12oz cans of brake fluid and the brakes were still marginally working. I drove it to the local ford dealer where 2 days later i was informed the master cyl. Had leaked fluid to the booster. The dealer wound up replacing the master cyl., brake booster with sensor, spark plugs, brake switch, vacuum line ck valve, and vacuum pump.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving approximately 60 mph, a "brake fluid low" message displayed on the instrument panel. The contact slowed down and proceeded to the next exit before losing all braking ability. The contact downshifted and applied the emergency brake in order to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to purvis ford of fredericksburg, virginia where it was diagnosed that the master cylinder failed, which caused brake fluid to leak into the brake booster. Both the master cylinder and brake booster needed replacement. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 71,000.
We were driving when the brake system warning light came on and suddenly we lost all braking ability. The brake pedal went down to the floor with barely any brake function. We were on a back road going over 50 mph and barely got the vehicle stopped.we got additional brake fluid as the reservoir was empty. We refilled it and began driving again. Within about 3 miles,once again the brake system warning light came on and the pedal went down to the floor again giving us very little braking ability. We were 30 miles from the nearest town....we barely made it in to town. Our vehicle is currently with a mechanic (we asked for him top provider us pictures) as we are stranded over 300 miles from home.
I started a drive, i got one half mile into the drive and the chimes went off on the dash stating low brake fluid.i tested the brakes to see if they were responsive.they were normal from my experience.i drove another five miles and had to slow for a highway overpass turn.the brakes went to the floor.i had a slight bit of brake but almost non existent.i limped the truck home and carefully put it into neutral gear any time i approached a stop light or stop sign.got it to my garage.checked brake fluid, totally empty.checked all four corners and found no fluid.poured new fluid in and check brakes again.they started to firm and went limp again.checked for leaks again.found the master cylinder making a hissing noise and fluid dripping from the master cylinder reservoir.will have the dealer tow tomorrow.
Leaked brake fluid and lost braking power. Brake pedal went all the way to floor.i was told by mechanic that the master cylinder and brake booster needed to be replaced.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that all the indicators illuminated on the instrument panel and a message appeared indicating that the brake fluid was low. Also, while driving 70 mph, the brake pedal was depressed to the floorboard; however, the vehicle failed to respond. The vehicle came to a rolling stop. The vehicle was towed to butch oustalet ford (9274 us 49, gulfport, ms 39503, (228) 863-5525) where it was diagnosed that the master cylinder failed and brake fluid leaked onto the brake booster. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was 90,800.
I purchased a new 2015 ford f-150, super crew cab, 4x4 in june 2015.it has a v6, 3.5 l ecoboost engine.the vehicle currently has about 7700 miles.for the past several months as i come to a slow stop i hear an intermitting rotating scraping sound which appears to be coming from the right rear break.it has been to the dealership, where i purchased the vehicle, for this issue three times but the service department has not been able to locate or correct the issue.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving, the brake fluid warning indicator illuminated. The contact coasted the vehicle over to the side of the road and filled the brake fluid reservoir. While driving 60 mph, the brake fluid warning indicator illuminated again. The vehicle was taken to rusty wallace ford (located at 134 sharon dr, dandridge, tn 37725, (423) 623-6138) where it was diagnosed that the master cylinder and brake booster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was in the process of being repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 42,000.
The truck is equipped with adaptive cruise control and collision alert systems.intermittently, when traveling at interstate speeds with the adaptive cruise control activated and passing tractor-trailer sized vehicles, the adaptive cruise control will falsely sense another vehicle directly in front and activate the brake system, resulting in rapid deceleration of the truck and creating the potential for a collision from behind.when the system activates, there are no other vehicles in front of the truck, only in the adjacent lane.this has happened over half a dozen times, and has resulted in near rear-end collisions from vehicles behind the truck because of how rapidly the adaptive cruise control slows the truck.passengers in the truck have been thrown into their seatbelts from the rapid deceleration of the truck. Luckily no one has been hurt, but this presents an extreme safety problem and has resulted in having to turn off the adaptive cruise control and collision alert systems.ford has not successfully created a fix for the problem.this problem has been well documented at http://www.f150forum.com/f118/adaptive-cruise-malfunctions-scary-299485/.
Complete brake failure. Only warning was indicated that the brake fluid was low. Ford dealer stated that the brake fluid from the master cylinder leaked into the brake booster and contaminated the brake vacuum sensor and manifold tube, .replaced all items.
I parked my vehicle at camping world.there was no indication that there was any problem with the brakes.i came out about one half hour later and got into my vehicle.i started the engine, put my foot on the brake pedal, put the gearshift in reverse and when i release the parking brake a warning came up on the dash that said "low brake fluid".the vehicle had just started moving in reverse.i stepped down on the service brake pedal in it went all the way to the floor, there was no braking action at all.i hade to use the parking brake to stop.this failure happened with no warning and was a total service brake failure.i found no leaks at the wheels or anywhere under the vehicle.my next stop was to pickup my 26 foot travel trailer to get ready for vacation.ford emergency service had my vehicle towed to ron dupratt ford in dixon california for warranty repairs.i believe the problem involves the master cylinder/brake booster.
I was on my way to work at appx. 4:20 a.m. When my low brake fluid light started to chime.about 1 mile from work.the closer i got i noticed my brakes were not working properly the closer i got the worse the brakes got. Pedal went to the floor and i am not stopping..scary.thank god no traffic was around.got in parking lot at work where it coasted to a stop..called a tow truck and had towed to a ford dealership..seal blew out of master cylinder and filled brake booster. Causing brake not to work.thank god i was by myself. The day before(sunday)the whole family and i were out just enjoying the day..we were on the highway,state routes,neighborhood streets.to think what might have happened to us and or somebody else..even now after the truck has been fixed i do not feel safe . What if it happens again? what if i am not so lucky the next time?
Sudden brake failure after a brake fluid low level caution.this happened after approximately 5 minutes while on the highway at 65 mph.luckily i didn't crash into anything and was able to stop with remaining brake pressure.the dealership said it was caused by a failed master brake cylinder and caused the brake pump to fail.total repair cist $975.this is totally unacceptable on this vehicle.luckily i didn't crash.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving approximately 35 mph, the brakes seized and did not stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to red mccombs ford (833-504-1993, located at 8333 w i-10, san antonio, tx 78230) where it was determined that there was no recall. The vehicle was left with the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.
I received a recall notice from ford telling me to bring the truck to the dealer to have the adaptive cruise control reprogrammed.i did have this work done.after the work was done i had an incident where i was passing an 18 wheeler and the truck set off the collision warning alarm and applied the brakes hard.if someone was following closely it would have been a collision.there was no traffic in my lane for at least 1/4 mile ahead.ford has not been helpful in resolving this issue and their only suggestion is to turn off the adaptive cruise control.i paid a lot of money for what i feel is an important and useful safety feature and want ford to fix the system so it will not malfunction and possibly cause a rear end collision.
Issue: while driving the vehicle around 40mph, the "low break fluid" warning flashed on the dashboard and i instantly lost the breaks. The break fluid tank was empty and there was no apparent linkage.ford dealership confirmed that the break booster master cylinder failed
Brakes went out while driving. Brake fluid keeps disappearing. Brake fluid has leaked into the intake and caused massive amounts of smoke from the exhaust, the master cylinder failed at only 42k miles.
I was leaving the house when the dash display told me i was low on brake fluid.found it a bit odd so i added fluid. Shortly down the road the message came on as i was fixing to come to a stop and the pedal went to the floor.i nearly hit a minivan. I limped it back home at a very slow roll and parked it. I have a call in with ford seeing if they plan on doing anything since this is a safety issue, doesnt look like i am going to get anywhere with them. Appears i am gonna have to shell out the cash and get it fixed on my own dime.
After the vehicle was parked over night (less than 10 hours) i received a brake fluid low warning when starting.i filled brake fluid and when i began to drive the brake pedal went straight to the floor with very little braking ability.i checked the fluid again and it was back to empty.added more fluid it drained also.now i can slightly smell brake fluid in the cab.the vehicle is undrivable. Very scary!
I own a 2015 f150 with the 3.5l motor and 47,000 miles. This morning the " low brake fluid " light came on then within minutes i started experiencing low/spongy brake pedal.i pull over and check the master cylinder, the fluid level was very low. I add 2 containers ( 24 fl. Oz. ) of brake fluid to refill master cylinder and drove about 3 miles when the brake malfunction light return along with low/spongy brake pedal. I called ford roadside for a tow. There was no visible fluid leak at the master cylinder area or at the 4 wheels.however i believe that this is a major leak because that fluid did not take long to leak out ( 3 miles and about 10 minutes )
On friday 10/28 while driving down the interstate at about 55 miles/hour at approximately 6:30pm with vehicles ahead of and behind my truck, the vehicle began to give a number of check engine alerts, at which time the engine rpms dropped to very low levels and began to stall and the accelerator no longer responded.had truck towed to the nearest dealership within the hour.i was very lucky in this situation, for had i been in a construction area or on a bridge, the situation could have been much worse.this same situation occurred on the evening of 10/2 while driving 40mph down a state road near my home and according to the dealer who attended to the issue, the brake module had failed which caused the symptoms to arise.in that instance, the accelerate failed to respond and the engine began to stall, which it did when i pulled to the side of the road.they replaced the module a few days later.in addition, the driver side door vibrates and does not latch properly.two dealers have failed to resolve this issue to date and i believe it is a safety concern that has largely been dismissed by the service technicians and dealerships involved.despite numerous documented attempts to resolve this issue with ford customer service, they have ignored this concern, have failed to respond to me in a timely manner, and declined a buyback request.i am submitting lemon law documentation for the vehicle during the week of october 31.i have spent hundreds of dollars on rental vehicles during attempted repairs to the doors and the brake module since ford claims they will not cover the cost of rental vehicles during warranty repairs.repair documentation attached pertains to repairs for 10/2 occurrence since the dealership has not yet had an opportunity to inspect my vehicle since it was dropped off yesterday evening.i will gladly provide info once received.
Brake pedal went directly to the floor then the low brake fluid level came on.thank god i had just parked when it happened.i just drove home from a 2 hour long highway trip with my kids in the car.i guess i could be considered lucky that it happened when i parked and not going 75 mph.
Warning light about low brake fluid followed by total loss of pressure in the pedal. Technician diagnosed a faulty master cylinder. Vehicle was in motion as i was driving my 7mo daughter to day care. Lost full pedal as i was turning in the parking lot.
On sunday, october 22, 2017, after a night of camping with my family, we loaded up our camping gear and left the campgrounds. While driving on the winding roads in the texas hill country a few miles from our campsite my truck displayed the warring that my brake fluid level was low. I attempted to pull over and check my brake fluid level however my brakes were gone and my pedal sank to the floor. My brakes system experienced a total failure and i had to take my foot off the accelerator pedal and roll to a stop. After i stopped i checked my brake fluid reservoir and it was completely empty. There was no brake fluid leaking from the truck and i have diagnosed the issue to be related to a failure with the master cylinder. I contacted a local ford dealership to report the problem and i was told that since there was no active recall for the issue that i would need to contact the ford customer relationship center if i wanted to seek assistance with the repair. I contacted the customer relationship center and reported the issue and a case was opened for review; 2 days later i received an auto-generated email denying my request for assistance since i had exceeded by 3-year 36,000 mile warranty even though this was a known issue by ford. It seems to me that not enough injuries or fatalities related to this issue have arisen and ford is not currently committed to fixing the issue. On the roads, my family and i were on with the tight turns and narrow lanes this was an extremely dangerous situation.
Brakes went out while driving.pedal went completely to the floor.a warning light came on indicating low fluid.i took the truck to a local garage and they determined that the master cylinder had failed and also brake fluid had looked into the booster.the brake fluid reservoir was completely empty.the vehicle had been parked for a few days.we drove the vehicle 5 miles without issue.vehicle was towed to nearest ford dealer nearly 40 miles away.that ford dealer has failed to begin repairs, claiming they are busy and consequently it will take 4 or more days to repair.we are 12 hours from home and stranded by this new pickup.this is precisely the same issue as raised in the complaint with nhtsa id number 10873438
While my wife was driving the vehicle with my two children in the in it, the brake fluid light came on. Almost immediately after the brakes began to fail. The pedal began to have less resistance and would barely stop. Thankfully this occurred as she was arriving to our house. I checked it myself as soon as i could the next morning and there was absolutely no resistance on the pedal as it would just go all the way to the floor. Had this happened as we were driving a longer distance, it could have ended very badly as there were no early warning signs to my fluid level being low. I added fluid and test drove it around the block. It seemed to work normally again. However, as i got into the truck the next morning, i experienced the same issue.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving approximately 30 mph, the brakes failed and the brake pedal extended to the floorboard when attempting to stop the vehicle. The message "brake fluid low" later displayed on the instrument panel. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the brake fluid reservoir was empty. After refilling the brake fluid reservoir with brake fluid, the brakes continued to malfunction. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (pearson ford, 10650 north michigan rd, zionsville, in, 317-873-3333) where it was diagnosed that the master cylinder and brake booster were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired and the failure was remedied. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 58,000. Updated 10/15/18
Brakes fade, sometimes to floor on 2015 ford f150 with 3.5 engine. No warning light or chime alet's the driver.2015 models usually have a warning indication if this happened and 2016 models do not. Build date is oct. 2015. The dealership can not find any problem with the brakes! these 3.5 models must be investigated and repaired!
On adaptive cruise control, since new, the vehicle brakes are applied when passing an 18 wheel truck/trailer (sometimes) causing a rapid 15-20 mph hard braking decrease in speed jolting and scaring the occupants of the ford. Nearly rear ended several times. Have contacted ford but they did not care nor were they concerned that this is a safety issue. Very dangerous going from 65 to 45 while passing another vehicle and cars are behind me. This is a random occurrence making it even more scary. This has happened too many times to count since 2015 and i am afraid to use the adaptive cruise control for fear of being hit from behind on the highway.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the low brake fluid indicator light illuminated.the contact added brake fluid. Additionally, the contact noticed fluid leaking from vehicle. The contact called mcree ford, inc. (2800 gulf fwy, dickinson, tx 77539; (832) 769-0200). The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified through chat and informed the contact that the vehicle was not covered under warranty. The contact was referred to the dealer. The contact stated that the failure was similar to nhtsa campaign number: 20v332000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The failure mileage was 100,000.
Driving 65 mph on hwy 183 in traffic, the "low brake fluid" indicator came on. I pressed on the brake pedal and the pedal went straight to the floor board. No brakes! i pumped the pedal several times and the straight to floor board and no brakes!... The traffic in front of me began to slow and brake.i was able to keep my composure and use the emergency brake pedal to slow down to avoid a collision and was able to get off to the side of the road.i had my wife and daughter in the truck and this could have ended horribly.i took it to the closest dealer i could find.the brake reservoir was completely dry and no external leaks.the master cylinder failed and leaked off into the booster.
While driving my low brake fluid light came on immediately followed by complete, not partial, complete brake failure. I was lucky enough to be able to downshift some and continue straight. This is a serious problem. Luckily the roadway traveled was not heavy with traffic, had to downshift and roll through stop signs to get home.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the vehicle leaked brake fluid from the master cylinder in the brake booster. The low brake fluid indicator illuminated and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when depressed. Autonation ford of littleton in littleton, colorado 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 51,000.
Complete loss of brakes due to loss of brake fluid leaking from master cylinder
While trying to pass a dump truck on the interstate with adaptive cruise on, vehicle slammed on the brakes, and causing the vehicle behind me to slam on theirs to avoid hitting me.. I noticed that there had been a recall for this before in 2015, but i never received any notice of this.. It is a very serious road hazard!!
I was driving down the road and applied the brakes, the brake peddle went to the floor without any brakes being applied. Almost hit a few cars and drove over the curb. Downshifted and depressed my e break!!!!my brakes do not work. No brake fluid external leaks anywhere. Brake fluid reservoir was 90% empty. Check brake fluid light came on. I filled break fluid reservoirand 10 break peddle pumps latter the break fluid was gone from break fluid reservoir
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 10 mph down a hill, the brake pedal was depressed and failed to respond. The contact applied the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer (phil long motor city, 1212 motor city dr., colorado springs, co 80905, (888)-701-7494) where it was diagnosed that the brake booster was faulty. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but no action was taken. The failure mileage was 44,300.
Complete brake failure. While my 15 year old son was driving with his learners permit, we were exiting a highway. The weather was clear and dry. As he was slowing down the vehicle on a 65mph hwy off ramp, at approxamatly 35-40 mph the low brake fluid light came on and the brake pedal went soft and almost to the floor. He wasn't able come to complete stop. We made a right turn rolling onto the cross street and an oncoming vehicle had to slam on their brakes to avoid us. I then took over the driving to get the vehicle home. It was clear there were no power brakes and the brake pedal was soft, taking mutch more distance to depress the pedal. Once we were home i added brake fluid again and again totaling two quarts of fluid. The fluid would only last in the reservior for several minutes then it would drain down. There were no signs of fluid leaking anywhere along the entire brake system. The vehicle is now undrivable. My asumption is that the fluid is leaking into the brake booster. The vehicle is in transit to the dealer for diagnostics.
I noticed a small round plastic part on my drivers side floor mat that appeared to be a flat disk broken in several pieces. See photo. I didn't think too much about it at the time. A while later my neighbor said my brakes lights were on and my truck had been parked for a quite some time. After not being able to get the brake lights to go out and some internet queries i was able to determine and confirm the small plastic disk came off the top of the brake pedal where it would make contact with the brake light switch. As small of a part as it is, the brake lights were affected and the hill assist function warning wascoming on as well. After checking ford does not sell the tiny plastic disk, worth about 5 dollars, but will sell the entire brake pedal assembly for hundreds. Other auto manufacturers sell the disk called a brake pedal stop pad. This problem is occurring on other fords as i was able to find examples like mine on the internet. There should be a better designed part or brake pedal to prevent this from happening.
I have a 2015 f150 ecoboost with about 33000 miles. I have not yet had any brakes service. I have been taking my truck in to service regularly and just last week had an oil change and was inspected at ford dealership and they said everything was good.friday morning at 530am i had moved my truck and worked fine, a couple hours later i got back into my truck and tried to go in reverse but when i stepped on the brakes they were completely gone. The brakes went right to the floor and an messaged popped up saying low brake fluid. I checked and there was no leak anywhere. The car was parked in my driveway.i had contacted ford and they said they are not aware of this happening to any other trucks beside a recall of previous years. My 3 year warranty has just expired. This is a very big safety issue.
Brake fluids are leaking from master cylinder into the driver side cabin floor and slight loss of brake performance when driving in the city streets or highway.
While i was driving the low brake fluid warning came on, and seconds later the brakes felt spongy and would not return.i was able to make it to a gas station and added a bottle of brake fluid to the reservoir.this gave pressure back to the pedal, but a second later the light came back on and a loss of pressure was noticed through pedal again.the pedal needs to be on the floor to getting any stopping action.i believe that the master cylinder has a leak that is causing this safety hazard.
I have experience a brake failure during the operation of my vehicle, similar to the description within the findings for ford 16s24 ' brake master cylinder replacement ' 2013-2014 ford f-150 on my 2015 ford f-150 with the same motor. I have had a non-ford mechanic take a look and found the same condition described is what happened to my vehicle, as well as have the vehicle now being investigated by an authorized ford mechanic. I would like to ensure that the scope of the investigation include expansion to 2015 vehicles built in the same manufacturing locations, as i believe my same situation and risk exist for mine. For reference os the situation, i have added the link to the issue write up. Https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2016/rcmn-16v345-1450.pdf
I was driving my truck and the brakepedal went to the floor and brake light warnings on dash came on. Brake fluid resivoir was empty. Checked every brake line and connection, all were totally dry with no leaks anywhere. I read online this is very common and i am not seeing any leaks because the master cylinder is leaking and filling up the booster. I am going to call the dealer on monday but i have 50k miles so it's out of factory warranty and i do not have an active recall, seems many others are having this problem and it's a critical safety concern and the truck cannot be driven as is.
I experienced total brake failure while driving. I was able to stop with the parking brake. I checked the brake fluid reservoir and found it empty. There was not a crash involved.
This afternoon i left work to drive half a mile to my son's daycare when the low brake fluid light came on. Once parked at daycare i checked all lines, wheels, and under the hood and had no indication of any leaks. I went inside to get my son and came back out and as i started to drive away i found my brake pedal would go to the floor with zero pressure and the brakes were totally failed.i had a friend bring me a large bottle of brake fluid and i refilled the reservoir. I did a short test drive around the daycare and that was enough to lower the fluid level. I live 3.1 miles away from the daycare so decided to carefully drive home. I had to stop 3 times to refill the reservoir when the low fluid light came on before the brakes failed completely, again. I went through 4 bottles of brake fluid in 3 miles, still with no indication of any leaks. I feel very fortunate that this didn't happen to me while driving at greater speeds and/or on a busy road. I now have to deal with missed work and trying to get my truck to a dealership and repaired, while being a single parent of a toddler.
A "low brake fluid" warning appeared in the center of the instrument cluster.shortly thereafter, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor when i needed to slow down to turn at an intersection.the resolution was to replace the master cylinder and the brake booster.this is a known issue by ford, yet there has been no recall for the 2015 f-150 trucks with this problem.
On the morning of july 6, 2018, while driving from swan valley, id to idaho falls, id i experienced complete brake failure.the warning light indicated low brake failure.i thought that i needed to add brake fluid and had no idea that i did not have any brakes.when i tried to slow down, the brake petal went to the floorboard.i was shocked at that time.i put the gear shift into m and downshifted fromabout 60 mph to a safer speed.i had to drive 30 miles to the nearest dealership for diagnosis and repair.i had to use the emergency brake at least 5 or 6 times to slow the vehicle to a stop.most of the 30 miles was on a two lane us highway 26.in order to deal with less stop and go situations, i drove on highway 49 to us 20 to complete by drive to broadway ford on broadway in idaho falls. I was able to carefully drive to the dealership and they said they know of similar failures and it involved the master cylinder and a booster.the representative said that their was a recall on the 2013 and 2014 models, but not on the 2015 as of yet.from a personal note if my wife had been driving the truck i am confident their would have been an accident
Driving down the highway at 60mph and out of no where the low brake fluid light came on the dash screen. Pushed on the brake and it went to the floor, pumping the brake did not help. Was able to manually down shift and stop with the e brake. Lucky i was not in any traffic.

Ruptured brake line. Pedal went soft to floor, luckily happened at a stop light.
When driving at night in the far left lane going 72 mph with the adaptive cruise control on, the truck randomly slammed on the brakes and the red crash indicator flashed although there was nothing in front of the truck.if someone was behind me, it is likely they would have rear ended my vehicle. There seems to be a defect in the auto cruise control,although ford believes this behavior is normal.
While driving my 2015 ford f-150 ecoboost at 45 mph on a city street i had a low break fluid warning light come on. I stopped at a stop light and all seemed fine.i proceeded 2 blocks to find somewhere safe to check the brake fluid level. When i tried to stop at the next stop light i had no brakes at all!!! i went through the red light intersection with my foot to the floor on the brakes. With luck, i did nothit another vehicle. I coasted slow enough to use my parking brake (e-brake) to make a full stop. I open the hood and noticed that the brake fluid reservoir was almost completely empty. After carefully examining all of the brake lines ,fittings, calipers, master cylinder and the engine compartment no brake fluid was found leaking anywhere. I had the 2015 ford f-150 ecoboost towed to a dealership. Also about a week ago during a long road trip i noticed a lot of wind noise coming from the drivers door. I was on an interstate going about 75 mph. I got off of the interstate and re-closed my door thinking i did not shut it hard enough. About 5 miles down the interstate driving about 75 mph i went over an approach (or a bump) to a bridge and the door dropped out of it's closed position and i could stick 4 fingers out between the door and door frame. I pull over at a safe area to exam the door and frame. I noticed that the door bolts (top and bottom) that hold the door hinge to the door had come loose and backed out about 4 turns. I tightened them and finished my trip. I notified the dealership so they can see why that had happened.
Was driving on the interstate and the warning light came on for low brake fluid.i got to my exit and the brakes went all the way to floor and i could just stop in time.had to pull over and get a tow the rest of the way home.
I would like to share my wife's story on what happened while driving my 2015 f-150 3.5l ecoboost last thursday 9/5/2019. Around 5:30pm my cell phone rings and the id shows that it is my wife calling me. I figured she was calling me to talk about her day or what i was making for dinner but she was really calling me to tell me my truck's brake and fluid light sensor came on. She was worried about driving the truckany further as she was coming down the highway. I told her that i would google to see if anyone else was having this issue and that i would call her right back. I quickly searched 2015 f-150 brake and fluid light sensor and instantly found several posts about people having this issue. After reading a couple very quickly, most people said that they lost their brakes instantly or with in minutes. I was worried so i quickly called her back and calmly asked her if she could get off the highway or pull off asap. I then proceeded to tell her that she might lose the brakes in the truck. I told her to call me if the vehicle became worse. At that time she was close to the exit. As she was approaching the off ramp the brake pedal pushed almost to the floor. She pressed the pedal again before getting to the yield sign and realized that she was losing the brakes. Luckily the traffic was not heavy in the oncoming traffic and allowed her to run the yield sign without having the ability to stop if needed. She got it stoped.she then called me again to tell me that the truck lost its brakes and that it was unable to be driven. At this time the brake pedal went to the floor every time she pressed it. When i arrived at her location the brake fluid was about empty. I refilled it and pressed the brakes a few times. We had it towed to a ford dealership. Ford found that the master cylinder failed. I'm still waiting for them to get the replacement part in.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 60 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floorboard. The contact stated that the gear was placed in neutral and the parking brake was applied in order to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to san tan ford (1429 e motorplex loop, gilbert, az 85297, (480) 821-3200) to be diagnosed, but the results were unknown. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 37,700.
Pulled out of the driveway stepped on the brakes pedal went to the floor used emergency break open the hood to find empty reservoirfill the reservoir with fluid fluid stepped on the brakes two minutes later it was all gone with no visible leaks
While driving my 2015 ford f150 the brakes failed. First the low brake fluid light came on, i added brake fluid and everything appeared to be normal. I went to pull my truck into my garage and the brake light came on and the brake pedal went to the floor. I almost went through the wall into my house.my local service station stated that the ford f150 2013 & 2014 had recalls on the brake master cylinder and the brake vacuum booster pump. My mechanic stated that the rear seal went and caused all the fluid to leak out.
My fiance and i were driving down the highway, with no cruise control on, and suddenly my sensors go off as if i was about to hit something. Then after a second (probably was only a split-second, but it felt like forever), it went away. If adaptive cruise control would have been enabled, this would have caused the brakes to automatically press (i know because this has happened to me before). I was passing a semi, if that helps. This is a very dangerous issue (sensors thinking they are going to hit something, when it should be nothing). I wish i had a video of it happening, but it only has happened 3 times for at most 3 seconds in the the 1.5 years i have owned the vehicle.
Driving to work and the low brake fluid warning light came on and the brake pedal felt soft. About 1/2 mile later, i tried the brakes again and the pedal went all the way to the floor with almost zer0 stopping power. Coasted to a stop and no brake fluid in the resevoir. No sign of leakage anywhere. Five minutes on google and i discover ford recalled 271,000 2013 and 2014 f150's due to defective brake master cylinder. When the master cylinder fails, all the brake fluid gets sucked into the brake booster, totally disabling the braking system. I was very lucky to get the vehicle out of traffic and stopped with out incident. Based on the aforementioned, you would think ford would certainly repair this defective master cylinder and ruined brake booster on my 2015 f150 with only 49,500 miles. Spoke to dealership and ford customer service and the answer was no, your 2015 f150 is not covered by the recall.
While driving my kids to school i was stopped at a red light when the low brake fluid light came on. The traffic light turned green and as i was driving i went to apply the brakes and the pedal went completely to the floor. I had to shift the car into neutral and use the emergency brake to assist me in stopping the vehicle. I stopped 2 feet short of crashing into a vehicle in front of me. I pulled over and opened the hood. The brake fluid reservoir was almost empty. I stopped at a near by midas and was told that there was a massive leak from the master cylinder to the brake booster (booster was completely filled with brake fluid). I have seen that there is a recall for 2013-2014 f150s that are having the same issue. I can assure you that this problem is affecting the 2015s also. There was no warning other than the light coming on and i immediately lost almost complete braking power to the vehicle. This is a serious concern and a frightening one as it happens with children inside the vehicle.
I started my truck to back out of the driveway and when i went to press the brakes the pedal went all the way to the floor with the truck almost running into my neighbor's curb. I pulled back in my drive way and again the pedal went to the floor barely stopping the truck.i checked the brake reservoir but it was full and no warning lights came on. Having towed to dealer, appointment scheduled for monday 7/15/19.
Brake pedal dropped to floor and significantly lost ability to stop.mechanic says needs to replace brake master cylinder and brake booster.parts are on backorder which indicates there is a problem - parts department said there are 700 on backorder and it will take over a month to get them
Brake pedal going all the way to floor took to dealer he said noting was wrong same day took to local shop they replaced the master clydner and calipers the truck had 36400 miles the repair seam to fix the problem very strange that the dealer did not want to address the issue when coming to a stop break pedal with pressure would go to the floor felt like there was no pedal left by pumping break pedal you could get pressure back but it would go back to floor it also would do this stoped at red light
Got the brake fluid warning and then within 5 minutes the brakes were gone, the pedal went straight to the floor while driving.complete loss of braking thereafter need to be towed to dealer.
The brakes on both driver and passenger sides are making loud noises when driving and braking
While in motion at highway speeds, our f-150 lariat supercrew 4x4 experienced complete loss of braking power. After filling the reservoir with recommended dot-4 braking fluid, the vehicle was driven carefully to the local dealership, harrold ford in sacramento. Upon inspection, the technician in the service department (vincent) diagnosed a faulty master cylinder, leaking fluid into the booster behind. In addition to the master cylinder, the booster and diaphragm are also recommended to be replaced at a cost of over $1,000. The vehicle has 39,000miles and is lovingly cared for.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving out of the driveway, the brakes failed and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (legacy ford, rosenberg, tx, 77471, 888-694-4154), but the contact did not recall the diagnosis and was informed that there was no recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered to discount half of the repair cost. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000.
I was driving and the low brake fluid warning light came on and started alarming and then went off. The parking brake light remained on and i checked my brakes and they were okay. I made it a few miles on a 4 lane major highway and started to put my brakes on to slow down and get into a turn lane to turn left and my brake peddle went to the floor. I realized i wasn't going to be able to make the turn so i made sure it was going to be safe to remain straight and i started down shifting to slow down and then started slowly applying the emergency brake as i was exiting off the shoulder of the road. I was able to safely stop. I checked my brake fluid reservoir and it was empty. I had no leaks under my vehicle. I got some help from my dad and ended up driving it to the local ford dealership. I burned through 1 gallon of brake fluid getting it there. I found out that the brake fluid was going from the reservoir to the brake booster and then vacuum to the engine and being burned up that way.
Warning notice came on and a minute later brakes completely failed. Luckily i was driving very slowly on a military base.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 60 mph with the cruise control engaged, the brake pedal was depressed lightly to disengage the cruise control and the low brake fluid indicator illuminated. The contact proceeded to depress the brake pedal to slow the vehicle down and the brake pedal became stuck to the floorboard. The contact was able to coast the vehicle onto the road shoulder and engaged the emergency brake. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home. The contact inspected the vehicle himself and found that the master cylinder released the brake fluid into the brake booster. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v345000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 53,628.
While driving on the highway at 75 mph the truck shuttered violently and the engine shut down. Immediately it flashed a warning that the "hill climb assist" malfunctioned followed immediately by a wrench symbol notifying that service was needed then another warning about the advance trac system then back to the hill climb assist symbol. All of this happening while the car behind me is almost sideways trying to avoid me. I eventually made it to the right shoulder of the highway.as i read the various warnings it said to refer to the owners manual with regards to the hill climb assist. I turned the ignition off, pulled out the owners manual only to find a description of the hill climb assist feature. After waiting for about 5 minutes i decided to turn on the ignition.the truck started without issue and i continued home cautiously in the far right lane.
While driving a low brake fluid warning popped up on my display. I was one block from home. I noticed nothing wrong with the vehicle. I read my drivers manual. It said to check the fluid brake levels.if the levels were not between the minimum and maximum range call your dealer for service.i made an appointment. However when i got back in my vehicle and backed out of my garage to drive to the dealer the brakes went straight to the floor and i was unable to stop without slamming on my parking brake. Scared me to death. No one was hurt luckily. I had no warningof total brake failure other than a warning light moments before indicating low brake fluid levels. The vehicle was towed to the dealership. They offered to repair the vehicle and offered no information about this frequency or spontaneous dangerous potential with the vehicle. I am furious. It could've killed me or my family or others. I will sell the vehicle as soon as it is repaired and i can do so. These vehicles are not safe to be on the road in my opinion.
Brake fluid leaked from brake master cylinder into brake booster.result was loss of brakes very rapidly. Vehicle was moving when my wife noticed the loss of brakes. Leak could have occurred either while truck was stationary or moving.
Brakes are rubbing and dealer has reground front disc brakes twice without fixing problem.suspect that brake calipers are not completely disengaging after brakes are applied.brake pedal will go all the way to the floor after applying brakes.
The braking system completely failed with virtually no warning.i was traveling on the freeway and the "low brake fluid" light appeared.there had been no mechanical signs of any issues.when i exited the interstate the brake pedal went to the floor and the brakes did not work.i was barely able to get the vehicle to a stop without hitting the vehicle in front of me on the off ramp.ford has now released a recall on this but parts are not available to fix it yet.i'm not sure if or what they are going to do for my vehicle but i wanted to file the report given the extreme risk this failure poses.i was very fortunate to not end up in a collision.
The vehicle was in motion going about 5 mph when the brakes failed when i was turning into a parking spot at the pharmacy on 8/17/19.i had to use the parking brake to completely stop when parking the truck and then once stopped the low brake fluid warning came on.then i drove to an auto part store that was a 1/4 of a mile down the road and put more brake fluid in and drove home, but once i was home the brake fluid tank was empty.i put more in and found a puddle of brake fluid coming out of the front passenger side of the truck.the truck is currently in the shop and they stated the master brake cylinder and brake booster failed.
During the "very random" process of shifting the automatic transmission, from any gear to any gear, the gear does not engage and appears to be in neutral then the engine revs to the highest rpm until i press the brake and put into gear a second time.this happens both while the truck is in motion and when at a stop shifting from reverse to drive.this has happened at least 20 times since i have owned the truck.when this occurs it is unpredictable.it happens both when i am hauling a trailer and when i am not.i haul a small two horse trailer weekly and this happened to me while driving down a steep hill and i downshifted.the truck did not feel like it was under my control.i panic ever time this has happened and the dealership does not seem to have a fix for the problem.
Upon braking when entering the floridai-275 on ramp, my brake pedal went all the way to the floor accompanied by a "low brake fluid" dash warning. My braking capacity was severely affected and emergency braking would not have been an option. I was able to exit immediately and pullover to investigate. My brake reservoir was nearly empty and no sign of leaks beneath the vehicle. I drove very slowly (stupid idea) to my ford dealership and explained my issue. Due to me extended warranty, i was able to rent a vehicle and leave mine. Tech called next day and informed me brake master cylinder was defective as well as the brake booster. He informed me it "is covered under warranty". I have news for them. The hundred dollar co pay is going to be an "issue"... My truck is the 6cyl. 3.6 liter eco boost twin turbo. Very discouraged ford is not recalling this issue and pray someone is not seriously hurt or killed as a result of their irresponsibility.
Driving on interrstate 70 at 65 mph, i had several alerts begin flashing ranging from check 4x4, hill assist failure, 2h, parking brake and many more. In addition i lost power steering, brake lights and turn signals.i was able to drive truck home.this happened 4 more times. I called dealer and they suggested i drive it to their establishment some 20 miles away. I did not feel safe and contacted roadside assistance to tow the truck. I had to beg for a loanerone week later i received a call stating the technician needed to drive the truck to see if the same alerts happened even though they found 12 plus alerts when they analyzed the truck in their shop. I allowed this to occur as i wanted answers.i received a call today stating they had found the problem, a wire had became corroded in the steering column causing all the alerts to malfunction. They are replacing the entire column and my truck will be completed by tuesday.i had purchased this truck just 4 months prior and have been a loyal ford customer for 30+ years.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving approximately 70 mph and upon slowing down to exit the highway, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The contact managed to pull over to the side of the road and drove slowly to the dealer. It was diagnosed that the master cylinder caused the brake failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and the master cylinder was sent to the manufacturer for analysis. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 9,600.

The manufacturer nor the dealer were contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 203,000.
Sudden brake loss. Warning light saying brake fluid low. Filled up reservoir. It was empty again within the hour. No spills or pools on the ground under my truck.i have no idea where the brake fluid went.
Brake failure due to brake fluid leaking through master cylinder and being sucked into the exhaust. The fluid is sucked out of the brake system through a vacuum line in the master cylinder and booster which lowers the fluid level and lets air into the brake lines.the brake fluid is then burned in the exhaust and creates white smoke from the exhaust pipe. The "low brake fluid" light came on while driving on a main city road and the brakes went out immediately after. The vehicle would stop only if the brake pedal was compressed all the way to the floor. On several occasions the emergency brake had to be used to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. After the "low brake fluid" light came on, more brake fluid (32 oz) was added but it was immediately sucked through the master cylinder and into the exhaust and the problem persisted.i scheduled an appointment to have a local ford dealership flush the brake system as i assumed there was air in the lines due to the low fluid level. After the dealership flushed the brake and replaced all fluid the vehicle still had no brakes. This is when the problem with the master cylinder was discovered.
Low brake fluid light came on, with in one mile the brake pedel went to the floor with very little stopping power. Brake fluid resevior was completely empty. Added brake fluid as warning light recommended, drove 1 mile and brake fluid resevior was empty again. Luckly i was driving in town with very little traffic.
I had the vehicle in for warranty issues at our local dealer. I received a call from dealer that the brake booster had to be replaced, due to the mechanic loosing brakes and almost hitting service bay wall. Ford is currently making us pay for the brake booster and also an emissions related fault.
Started the vehicle and immediately received an error message stating the brake fluid reservoir had low fluid.the brake warning light was also activated.when the brake pedal was depressed it went all the wall to the floor.refilled the reservoir and restarted the vehicle.moved the vehicle and pressed the brake pedal, which went to the floor.received another brake activated and low brake fluid warnings again.i have had the vehicle towed to beechmont ford, cincinnati, oh for diagnosis and repair.awaiting their findings.
2015 ford f-150 3.5 ecoboost 47900 miles. Started my truck which was stationary, low reservoir light came on and brake pedal went to floor, total failure. Looked for external leak and found none.added dot 4 fluid to fill line and watched it disappear. Had my truck towed to my ford dealer and they verified brake master cylinder leaking into brake booster. 1500 dollar repair. Dealer said upgraded parts were installed but nobody wanted to discuss the failure. Could have been worse i i was headed to the mountains today.
Saw recent news article about f150 brakes..i purchased my 2015 f150 last march 2015. With only 980 miles (yes 980) on it my brakes began to fade out. Ultimately they stopped working and the vehicle would not come to a stop as the brakes continually faded out. Brought it back to ford who ran several tests and could not find out why this happened.they confirmed that there was a problem but did not know why.they told me same. The western u.s. Ford representative even called me to apologize. Ultimately they replaced my rotors and pads, not certain what else they may have replaced. I asked where all the parts were going that they replaced and was told by the rep that they would be sent back to their engineers and i would most likely never hear why the brakes failed. I do not have documentation. The vehicle was purchased and serviced at towne ford in redwood city ca. I can prove this occurred by asking them for my work order which should be in their system if needed.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. When the brake pedal was engaged, the vehicle failed to stop. The contact was able to apply the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. The contact inspected the vehicle and found that the brake fluid container was empty. The contact took the vehicle to chapman ford (9371 roosevelt boulevard, philadelphia, pa 19194, (855) 864-7604) where the brake hydraulic system, master cylinder, brake fluid booster assembly, and master bushing were replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 43,595.
With the vehicle stopped, the brake pedal slowly fades to the floor when applying a firm steady pressure.at this time, there is no apparent loss of holding power once the pedal has faded.with normal driving the brakes work and the vehicle does stop.when the pedal has faded to the floor it can be brought back up by pumping the pedal.testing has not been done to determine the amount of holding power that remains or to validate what would happen in a hard-braking scenario.the problem was first noticed on 3/17/2017 and is completely repeatable every time it is checked.the dealer has agreed with these observations but has stated that ford will not back a replacement of the master cylinder because it is working.
While towing a trailer at approximately 15 mph on a city street and slowing (braking), the front brakes on the f-150 ceased to work and the vehicle dash displayed a warning there was low brake fluid. Fortunately there was no collision as this was not a panic stop situation, the rear brakes of the vehicle worked, and there were trailer brakes to stop the vehicle. Upon inspection, the master brake cylinder had failed and caused the brake fluid to leak into the vacuum (brake) booster. This is the same failure outlined in nhtsa recall 16v345000 covering 2013 to 2014 f-150s. I believe this recall needs to be expanded to 2015 vehicles as well.
Was on a freeway exit. Traffic was heavy, and i was in stop and go traffic for about10 minutes. I was just rolling forward and when i applied the brakes the pedal went down to near bottom and immediately warning lights came on indicating low brake fluid. I cleared the screen and continued carefully to my shop which was within a couple of miles. I added brake fluid to the max mark thinking i could nurse it to the dealer for repairs later in the day. When i attempted that trip several hours later the pedal went to the floor again and i had little or no brake power. I decided to have the truck towed and pulled back slowly into the parking space. I had no brake at this point and actually had to jam the transmission into park a couple of feet before hitting my own building. That is where the tow truck picked it up.
Vehicle has 63,000 miles and today the warning low brake fluid light came on while driving home.at that point the brakes we functioning normally. There was a auto parts store a few miles from my location so i diverted to the store.i thought i was either topping off fluid or would find a broken line when i arrived.at the turn into the parking lot the brake pedal went all the way to the floor nearly no braking power only going 5 miles an hour or less.at the store i inspected the vehicle and found no leaks.the reservoir was very low.i replace the fluid to the correct level and continued home.within 5 miles the light came on again.i proceeded 2 more miles home to inspect the vehicle.i found the reservoir low again,i thoroughly inspected for leaks and found nothing on the outside of the cylinder or any lines.the i began to research the problem.i will now contact the dealer to arrange for repairs.i am suspect that something internally to the cylinder is leaking.where else would 10oz of fluid go?if anyone from ford is reading this (national safety manager...)it's not just the goods or services you provide that matters. Integrity counts, and the long-term success of your business depends on it.i teach my children that lying, cheating and stealing are unacceptable.i expect integrity in my employees, it matters.time to step up before something deadly happens
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While accelerating from a complete stop at 5 mph, the brakes seemed to drag on three occasions. The dealer diagnosed that the brakes had a soft pedal, but the cause of the failure was not determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 31,000.
While driving the 2015 f150 3.5 liter 6-cylinder with 17,000 miles on a city street at 30mph, the brake fluid light illuminated. Within the next mile the vehicle experienced a total failure of the brake system; the red brake light came on and the pedal went completely to the floor. Using the emergency brake and low gear, i was able to narrowly avoid crashing into stopped vehicles ahead of me. The ford dealership's mechanic initially diagnosed the issue as a failed brake sensor. Replacing the sensor, however, failed to correct the problem. As i now understand it, the brake booster seals were ruined by a leaking master cylinder although no fluid was ever seen under the vehicle prior to this event.
Driving about 30mph when low brake fluid light came on dashboard. When i pulled over brake pedal went to the floor and i lost all my brakes had to have brake master cylinder and vacuum pump replaced also brake fluid got into the fuel system and contaminated that
I was driving in a residential street and suddenly got a 'low break fluid' warning light.upon parking on my driveway the break pedals went all the way to the floor, and i had to use my emergency break in order to avoid collision with my garage.
Started truck and warning light and sound notified me of low brake fluid. Found reservoir very low, added fluid, applied pressure to brake pedal and looked for leaks, no leaks found. Brake pedal felt spongy and not firm, started to move but brake pedal went almost to the floor. Found reservoir almost empty again with no leaks to be found under the vehicle or at the wheels. Had truck towed to dealership.
Lost brakes on the freeway this morning. I had to put it on first gear and used the emergency brakes. Thank god traffic was slow i had mydaughter with me.
Driving, i received a low brake fluid warning. The next braking event i lost all brake controls. I was not able to stop. All traffic lights were green and was able to use the emergency brake to cometo a complete stop in my driveway. Almost caused two incidents but was able to swerve
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving the vehicle at 70 mph and coming to a stop, the brake pedal would push all the way to the floorboard. Upon pumping the brake pedal, the braking action would return to normal and stopped the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the brake master cylinder needed to be replaced and was repaired. After about 800 miles the failure re-occurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 13,500.
On 2-24-2021 these two things had never happened before 1. I noticed when arrived to work the p for the gear selector stayed illuminated after vehicle is shut off.a co-worker pointed this out alsothis had never happened before 2. While in a parking space on side of cvsdrug store no other cars near after starting the vehicle and putting into reverse the vehicle accelerated on its own while applying brake didn't stop hit a cement pole barrier, truck kept trying to jerk backwards after 2-3 seconds it stopped shifted vehicle from reverse to drive to move back into parking space vehicle accelerated on its own; quickly shifted from drive to park vehicle continue to move forward while brake pedal applied and hit a tree and truck turned off if not for tree would have went down embankment on to a freeway
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 referenced recall # 15v614000.
While driving on the interstate a 'low break fluid' warningannunciated, and once acknowledged the break system warning light remained illuminated.i immediately exited the interstate and stopped at a gas station to purchase break fluid to replenish the level.as of this time, there was no noticeable change in breaking or the feel of my break petal. After adding almost the entire pint of break fluid to bring the level to an acceptable level, i started my truck and the break system warning light was no longer illuminated.as i started to pull out of the parking spot, i noticed a slight change in the feel of the break petal.so i stopped once again and looked at the break system (master cylinder, booster, hoses, lines, etc) but did not identify any damage or signs of leakage. I re-entered the truck and drove around the parking lot for a minute or two and within this time the feel of the break petal returned to near normal feel. It was at this time i re-entered the interstate and within less than one mile of travel the 'low break fluid' warningannunciated once again, however upon pressing the break petal to exit, the break petal went to the floorboard with little to no breaking results.i responded by using the emergency/parking break to assist with controlling the truck until i could reach a safe location to park the truck.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, the vehicle brake ceased to operate without warning. The contact was able to downshift the vehicle and drive to an independent mechanic. The contact topped off the transmission however, the brake failure persisted. The vehicle was then taken to an unnamed dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the brake master cylinder needed to be replaced which was still pending. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 162,000.
Brake pedal bled off and message centar alerted of brake malfunction. Dealer to replace master cyl. And booster. I was stopped at a light when the incident happened.

Brake pedal falls on heavy braking. Also falls when holding foot on the brake pedal for short stops.
2015 ford f150 brake failure, early june 2020.vehicle had less than 50k miles when the brake pedal went to the floor.no accident as the failure happened overnight.brakes seemed fine after a 660 mile trip with a trailer in tow.parked the vehicle and the next morning the warning light came on and their was almost no brake fluid in the master cylinder reservoir.i towed the vehicle to ford auto nation in the dfw area and it required a $1400 repair.today i learned of the recall - recall 20s31. This repair will be completed free of charge parts and labor.i had the ford dealer do the work, i assume i am entitled to a 100% refund? any help i can get would be appreciated.
I was driving down the interstate when the low brake fluid level alert came on. I tested the brakes and they felt soft. I pulled over and checked the brake fluid level. It was low. I added fluid. The light went off and the brake pressure returned. The truck drove normally for about ten minutes. At that time the low fluid level alert returned and i lost braking. I had the truck towed to an authorized ford service center. They stated that the master cylinder had failed and bled into the brake booster.
Brake pedal falls on heavy braking. Also falls when holding foot on the brake pedal for short stops.
While driving on 7/27/2017 around 9:00 am, a warning light came on that said low brake fluid. 5-10 minutes later when i went to slow down to take an on ramp, the brake pedal went to the floor. I had barely enough braking to slow the vehicle, and to find a safe place to leave the road. I had to be towed to my local ford dealership.
I was driving my 2015 f150, towing a trailer of around 7000 lbs. All of the sudden my truck said 'low brake fluid' and the pedal went straight to the floor. This happened on a highway.this turned out to be the same problem that ford recalled in the 13-14 models. The master cylinder leaks into the brake booster, leaving no trace of leaking brake fluid, and therefore you will not know until it is too late.
Complete loss of brakes. Received a low brake fluid warning. Fluid was below minimum. Topped off with dot 4 fluid and resumed driving. Brakes completely failed within a few hundred feet with a complete loss of brakes and the warning light for low fluid again and total loss of brakes. Immediately used the parking brake in order to keep from hitting 4 cars stopped in front of us. We used the parking brake to safely pull over on the highway entrance ramp
I was on the highway and the hill start assist/traction control lights started coming on. A few hundred miles later, more dash lights started flashing and then all dash lights went off and the truck lost all power. I could no longer accelerate. After a moment, it started working again. After a few more miles, it did it again, and this time when it powered down, the abs break system went on and created a terrible grinding noise and brought me to a stop on the side of the highway. I limped it on the side of the highway, trying to find an exit, and the truck repeatedly did the lights flashing/power down/breaks applied several more times at low speed. The nearest exit was about 10 miles, so i had to continue to do this for some time. Once i was at an exit, i disconnected the battery for about 20 minutes. When i re-connected the battery and started the truck, everything seemed fine, but now the check engine light was on. I decided to just risk it and keep driving, so that i could get home. About 100 miles later it started doing the same thing again. I was close enough to home to get off the highway and take back roads home. It did it a few more times and then quit doing it. This was a very dangerous situation, as my truck basically stopped while i was on the highway going 70 mph, and could have caused a serious accident, and left me no option but to either be broken down on the side of the highway or drive at very low speeds on the shoulder. The ford dealer that i took the truck to told me that they can't replicate the issue and all diagnostics come back clean, so they are not able to fix anything. Others online that have had the same/similar issue have said that ford said that it is a damaged throttle body that needs to be replaced, but the dealership that i went to did not suggest that as the cause.
I have a tow package that was factory installed and the last time i hooked the tuck it to my trailer the electric brakes on the trailer were locked up and i could smell something burning in the truck.
On vacation and out of town...was driving my ford truck and "low brake fluid light" appeared. Pulled immediately into first parking lot walmart store. Checked fluid and found reservoir was low. Went into walmart to purchases break fluid. None available. Pushed on brake to start truck and break went to floor. Called aaa and tow truck took my truck to university auto repair. Diagnosis was master cylinder malfunction all all break fluid backed into brake booster assembly cuasing breaks to fail.my major concern was i just pulled amtrialer from phx,az to flagstaff,az on interstate rt i-17. Note: this streach of road over 100 miles is mountainess with 6% grades. It horrifies me to think if i would have lost brakes going up and down this interstate from and to home. It could have been a horrific fatility given the fact that from the time the low brake fluid light came on and mintues later i lost my breaks. Even after having my truck brakes repaired, i was very nervous dring down the i-17 interstate back to my home in phoenix. I should not have to have fear of breaks failing. Researching,i have found master cylinder and break booster assembly failed on previous years fod f 150 models. 2014 model being the most recent.
Brake master cylinder failed, pedal went to floor with no warning and almost crashed. Topped off brake fluid, and still no brakes.pulled cap off vacuum booster and booster was full of brake fluid.now truck is smoking badly i believe from brake fluid being sucked into vacuum hose.only 30,000miles on truck 2015 f150 with 3.5l
As i was driving to work ona secondary street with very light traffic (thankfully), a warning flashed on dashboard regarding low brake fluid. When i touched the brake pedal it vibrated and as i depressed it went all the way to the floor where i had minimal stopping power. With very light traffic i went to a nearby auto parts store and purchased / installed 1 quart of brake fluid. By the time i drove 3 miles to my office, the brake pedal was again on the floor with minimal stopping power.i installed a second quart of fluid with absolutely no sign of a leak anywhere.i had the vehicle towed to the dealer where they advised the master cylinder was leaking the fluid into the booster assembly.they replaced the master cylinder and booster.

I had a warning on the dash display that the brake fluid was low.i figured i'd check it out after i got home which was only 6 miles away.i continued to get on the freeway (303 in az) my brakes seemed normal.when i started to exit the highway i needed to brake to merge with traffic and the pedal went all the way to the floor with no brakes engaging.i tried to pump them and got minimal brake pressure in my panic.i swerved to the shoulder going around 60 mph to miss traffic in front of me.i slowed and stopped at the light and very slowly with very little braking made it home.took it to firestone and had them look at it.master cylinder failed is what they were able to find for a cause.replaced it and works as it should now.if this is a known issue with f-150s it should be addressed.from what i've read online, it is.my truck only has 44k miles and shouldn't need a master cylinder replaced.the wrong person behind the wheel having this happen could of led to a very serious collision.i'm grateful it didn't with me.

As i was driving home. I noticed that my brake pressure was getting low. When i came to a complete stop my foot went to the floor of the truck. Luckily i was able to pull over. When i checked the brake master cylinder reservoir the brake fluid was completly gone. I was reading that ford issued a recall onon the2014-17 ford f-150 vehicles built at kansas city assembly plant, sept. 1, 2014 to aug. 1, 2016 which mine was. I contacted ford motor company and they stated that the recall was on a the 3.4 eco boost engine and and not the 2.7 which mine has. How does engine displacement make a difference on a defective hydraulically master cylinder.

In september 2019 my brakes failed on me while driving my truck.the red brake light on the dash came on while i was driving to work and the dealership diagnosed the issue as "master cylinder leaking into the brake booster" on my ford paperwork.they replaced the brake booster and master cylinder for $858. Then on november 2020 they performed a recall to install a new master cylinder under the open recall and after much arguing they refunded my prior $858 charge. On august 8, 2021 in less than 9 months and just under 9000 miles later the newly installed master cylinder failed while i was driving down a mountain road. I had my family of 4 in the truck and we lost all brakes.this time there were no warning lights, we just lost the ability to stop the truck while going down the mountain. The vehicle was towed to the dealership but the brake fluid reservoir was 100% empty and the dealership will diagnose the issue in the next 24-48 hours. This is extremely dangerous and i do not feel comfortable driving the truck.

Vin: [xxx] make: ford f150 2015on the morning of june 20th 2017, i was sitting in the passenger seat journaling and listing to music. The vehicle was parked and running because i was listening to the radio and enjoying the air conditioner. My husband had driven the vehicle and parked it. He had exited the vehicle and went up to his appointment and i was in the vehicle, in the passenger seat, journaling for at least ten minutes or more. I needed to use the restroom so i put my stuff in the bag at my feet, on the floor board on the passenger side. I reached over, gripped the key, turned it to the off position, removed the key from the ignition, the truck was fully off. I began opening the passenger door to exit the vehicle and realized the vehicle was rolling backwards. I slammed my door, tried to use the shifter but it did not move. I was steering the vehicle to the right knowing there were vehicles parked behind me. I threw the key in put it in drive and hit the brake, but it was to late and i had hit another vehicle. I was lucky nobody was in the other vehicle or behind my vehicle. Somebody could have been hurt or killed. I pulled the truck forwards, i parked and handled what had just occurred. I don?t know what to do. We no longer feel our vehicle is safe when in park. I know the 2017 models are having this same problem, if ford still cant fix this problem two years later, why would i feel our vehicle is safe or trust that it does not have a defect that needs fixing?????? please help! thank you for your time. We just want to ensure our safety and the safety of others. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
While driving, a slight rattle in the steering was noticed. The last two days, starting on june 5, 2018, the steering wheel was noticeably loose with lots of axial movement in the steering shaft within the steering column cover. It is getting exponentially looser every trip. In a short time, this will not be safe or possible to drive. The state inspection in new hampshire will not likely pass this as it is now. It is disappointing and will likely be very expensive to have fixed. The manufacturer should cover this kind of failure, especially at 37,000 miles. I would simply like a diagnostic at a ford dealership, at no cost to me, with the list of parts with corresponding ford part numbers which i will need to replace when i tear this down. If they would like to repair it for me, even better. I first noticed this problem while driving east, approximately 50mph on nh state highway 101 in amherst, nh. When looking at it again in the parking lot today, the wheel is noticeably wobbling by feel and by eye. It is within my best interests to fix this as soon as possible.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 45 mph, the steering wheel was wheel turned to the left. Upon release, it failed to return back to the center. The contact had to force the steering wheel to the right to make it move. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to rairdon's chrysler dodge jeep ram of marysville (16610 smokey point blvd, arlington, wa 98223 (360) 653-5664), but the failure could not be duplicated or diagnosed. When the contact left the dealer, the failure recurred. The vehicle was returned to the dealer and test driven by a technician who witnessed the failure. Rairdon's chrysler dodge jeep ram of marysville had the vehicle sent to marysville ford (15900 smokey point blvd, marysville, wa 98271 (360) 386-1245), but the failure could not be duplicated or diagnosed, and there were no error codes present. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.
Popping and binding in steering when on city roads. More prone in warmer weather.
While driving down the road approx 50mph power steering was lost. Errors displayed on dash for electronic power assist fault, advancetrac fault, hill start assist fault. Also no cruise control. After parking overnight, problem was not present on restart; after 5min of driving, all faults reappeared and have persisted continually without going away.
While driving 70 mph with my cruise control on a smooth, level hwy my cruise control cut off abruptly causing an alarm to sound and a notice to service adv trac came up on my screen. At that moment i also discovered my power steering had failed causing the truck to become very difficult to steer. The rapid deceleration caused the car behind me to have to brake hard and get on the shoulder. Luckily there was no accident.i drove the truck home and called my ford dealer the next morning and consequentlytook the car to them.i was informed later that morning that i had had a catastrophic steering failure and that my complete electronic power steering assist (epsa) would have to be replaced to the tune of about $2,000. The truck was delivered new in jan of 2016 only has 45,000 miles on it and i doubt has ever been off of paved roads . I had no choice but to have it repaired and pay the bill.i contacted ford to see if i could get some help and basically got a very weak response and of course no action.this failure occurred with absolutely no warning whatsoever and had it happened in traffic or in a more hazardous situation with a physically weaker driver at the wheel there would have almost certainly been a bad accident. After doing some searching i find that this is not an unheard of incident and based on my research would bet ford is aware of this problem. At this point i'm ashamed that i have put so much faith in ford and their products in the past.
Driving on interrstate 70 at 65 mph, i had several alerts begin flashing ranging from check 4x4, hill assist failure, 2h, parking brake and many more. In addition i lost power steering, brake lights and turn signals.i was able to drive truck home.this happened 4 more times. I called dealer and they suggested i drive it to their establishment some 20 miles away. I did not feel safe and contacted roadside assistance to tow the truck. I had to beg for a loanerone week later i received a call stating the technician needed to drive the truck to see if the same alerts happened even though they found 12 plus alerts when they analyzed the truck in their shop. I allowed this to occur as i wanted answers.i received a call today stating they had found the problem, a wire had became corroded in the steering column causing all the alerts to malfunction. They are replacing the entire column and my truck will be completed by tuesday.i had purchased this truck just 4 months prior and have been a loyal ford customer for 30+ years.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving approximately 40 mph, the steering wheel began to make a clunking nose. When driving over a bump or rough terrain, the contact felt the vibration in the steering wheel. In addition, the vehicle would veer to the right. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the tires needed to be rotated, and the clockspring and steering column needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the failure was common; however, there was no remedy. The approximate failure mileage was 9,000.
While driving on the highway at multiple speeds the steering wheel seem locked and would not turn until i would release pressure from the current position and then attempt to turn the wheel again.this has happened numerous times, on and off the highway and at all speeds.
While turning my steering wheel along a curve on a state highway going approximately 40 to 55 mph, the wheel has to be reset to the center.on youtube a video by chris peterson, called "steering issue in 2016 f150 pulling to left" is identical to my problem.below under document i downloaded the hyperlink from youtube.this problem continues to happen, i first noticed it this past spring.

I was asked to sign a waiver to drive my vehicle off the lot if i didn't have it repaired their on site so naturally i told them to go ahead & fix it after i told him it sounded like i really had no other choice. & that i couldn't afford to pay for a rent car so he got me a loaner provided by the dealership they had my vehicle for 10 days repairing it . I took my vehicle in because the cruise control & the blue tooth weren't working properly & to get the oil changed. I had to continually press both buttons on the cruise control to get it to work & the blue tooth would not hang up. The service manager told me that if i was to have a head on collision the airbag wouldn't work & he asked if i'd sign a waiver if i drove the truck off of the property.
2015 ford f-150. Consumer writes in regards to several defects with vehicle. *ldthe consumer stated there were multiple instances where the vehicle stalled, the check engine light illuminated. The steering gear, steering shaft, steering wheel needed to be replaced. The consumer blew the horn and a whole was punctured in the steering wheel. The wrench light illuminated. There was a fluid leak from the rear left axle. The shutter grille actuator became unplugged.
I was in the left lane of a two lane left turn intersection.when the light turned green i stepped on the gas and turned the steering wheel for a normal left hand turn; however the truck continued to move in straight line and did not turn with the steering wheel.i then turned the steering wheel for a hard left and the truck still continued straight, then after a delay i felt the vehicle wheels turn left; luckily within enough time to prevent the truck from striking the car that was in the right, left turn lane who was making the turn as well.this is the second time this situation has occurred where the steering wheel and the vehicle wheels were not in sync and had endangered the safety of the passengers.
My electronic steering is overly sensitive at highway speeds and make controlling a trailer under tow very difficult.i am also having issues after turning with the steering not wanting to go straight after the turn.i have to fight the wheel to keep the truck going straight.the wheel requires a counter steer, but there is a large amount of resistance to that counter steer.once steering figures out i want to go straight the wheel ends up canted slightly to the left or right.i was able to demonstrate this while at the ford dealership using a 2017 test truck as well.so it appears to be an issue that can effect any truck with epas steering.this youtube video is not my truck but it shows exactly what i experienced in my truck and the test truck.

Purchased this vehicle on nov 12 2015. There was a safety recall issued for this vehicle in may 2015 concerning upper intermediate steering shaft rivets not staked properly. The dealer was given notice by ford in may 2015 that the vehicle was under recall and the vehicle was on their lot until nov 12 2015.the dealer did not inspect or repair the problem before selling the vehicle to me, never mentioned a recall. I did not receive the initial recall notice sent in may of 2015 because i did not own the vehicle at the time. I received a reminder notice from ford motor company sept 2016 that the vehicle had not been repaired. Is it not a federal violation to sell a vehicle that is under a safety recall and not repaired? i have been driving this vehicle for 11 months. I have an appointment oct 11 2016 for repairs at a different dealer.
The vehicle feels extremely dangerous when driving.steering drifts, wanders or feels "light" at speeds approximately 25-55 mph, when changing lanes or turningthru curve in road.the issue occurs every single time i drive the vehicle.it seems to be an issue related to electric power steering (epas), steering angle sensor, and/or software related.it does not feel like a mechanical issue ...

I noticed a grinding noise coming from the front end of my truck. I could also feel the grinding though the steering wheel.i took it to local ford dealership. They told me that it was the steering gear rack/pinion. I reported the problem to ford and they declined to help with the repair cost and did not acknowledge the problem.
The panoramic sunroof locked up on me when i tried to open it... It would not open and it makes obnoxious noises under normal driving conditions ... There are many you tube videos on this ref. Issue... Ford is replacing the parts to the sunroof, i have read on many ford forums that this 'quick fix' will not correct the problem ... Additionally the steering column always feels like it's positioned off center and veers to the right... I had the truck aligned, problem still exists... Also i've had reoccurring issues with my sync/bluetooth and have advised my service advisors that the problem still exists, when i talk to anyone via the bluetooth i hear loud intermittent static throughout the phone call and the folks on the receiving end of the call all say that there is an echo in the phone line forcing me to end the handsfree sync call and therefore using my own bluetooth... Ford service advisor stated it was because i have an apple iphone, i'm less than satisfied about how ford is handling this issue... I have complained more than 3 times on record about this issue
I was driving my 2015 ford f150 when the power steering failed. I was driving on a curved road when the failure occurred, and i almost lost control of the vehicle.the code, "steering assist fault, service required" appeared. Days before, the steering felt tight. I had also been experiencing issues with the wiper blades turning on, and failing to turn off. I am the original owner of the truck, purchased it two years ago (almost to the day), and it currently has less than 38,000 miles. Ford will not honor the warranty because the dealership could not get the truck in for service until after it rolled over 36,000 miles.luckily, i am an experienced driver with a commercial license or the complete steering failure would have resulted in an accident and damage to the vehicle and bodily injury.
Driving on highway lost power steering on vehicle, steering assist fault-advancetrac warning and hill start assist not available warnings came on on dashboard.

Car was taken to dealership where the said new steering gear rack and pinion is neededthe car has only 52,000 miles on it
Since initial test drive, steering has been drifting and pulling. Been to service 3 times and dealership says normal with electrical steering. Unsafe as vehicle is constantly drifting off track and requires resistance on steering wheel to keep straight.
Within the first year of use an intermittent (few days a week) vibration + humming / grinding type noise was present when turning (left and right) at low speeds (<25mph).the vibration sometimes cyclic, felt in steering wheel, and is audible from passenger seat.the vibration is distracting and often occurs when slowing down at stoplights or stop signs.the noise & vibration, however, remain when the brakes are not engaged.the noise & vibration exist while in 4x4 as well as 4x2 and 4a.the issue has been verified multiple times by service staff at 2 different dealerships.vehicle has been in for service multiple times (3 prior) and parts have been replaced to attempt to address the issue (front iwe assemblies which were found to have partial leak, front left hub assembly found to have resistance / grinding was replaced).sound / vibration remained after service.vehicle currently in for service 4th time at dealership to address issue again(33 days+ and counting).no resolution yet.

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.
44,000 miles on the truck and the epas is going out!$1800 repair not covered by warranty!near miss collision due to power steering working and then without warning no power assist while driving. Difficult to keep the truck going straight down the interstate while it is acting up intermittent.
While driving there is rattling inside of the steering column that started a few months back. Now my alternator seems to not be working properly and the truck will only crank when i have all extras off (radio, ac, etc.) i also have to pump the gas for some reason for it to turn over completely. Otherwise it just dies. Never had a problem until last week when it wouldn't turn over at all. My battery is pulling 13.9 v and i have checked the connections. For a truck to be 3 years old and already need a new alternator appalls me. There is something else going on and the rattling in the steering column is somehow related to me having problems cranking the truck.
2015 ford f150, 12500 miles. Truck steering wheel hangs randomly in a left hand curve. Have to force it back to center.this happens at speeds of 20 to 35 mph.has also kept assisting left in a left turn when i stopped turning left. It is a dangerous issue that needs serious attention. I have taken truck 2 times to my local ford dealer, bert wolfe ford. The first time they reprogrammed the steering. The 2nd time i left the truck from monday morning go friday afternoon. They test drove the vehicle and claim they can find no faults. I pick the truck up from the dealer, and the same issue haplens three times on the way home.

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 that there is no way to fix it.

My ford f150 sometimes pulls to the left without turning the steering wheel and could possibly cause an accident if you are not aware of the certain pulling to the left.one must pay attention when driving between 30-55 miles per hour. I know it pulls when the road is dry and possibly when it is wet without noticing it. It does it sometimes when turning the vehicle as well.

When driving on the highway an alert popped up on the dash stating hill descent control fault which was followed quickly by service advancetrac and a yellow wrench and see manual.these warning continued to cycle and the truck seemed to lose ability to maintain speed as is slowed down and the steering became difficult.i was able to get it off the highway without incident as there were not many vehicles on the road, but if it would have been busy, i would have been in trouble.once on the shoulder i placed it in park and the truck began to shudder and run rough.i turned the truck off and let it sit for a few minutes and then restarted it.upon restart everything appeared normal and there were no warnings, i was able to continue to my destination.i called the dealership and they sounded like they had heard this story before and told me i could bring it in within a weeks time.i was also told that it would not cause any damage to continue to drive it.while waiting for the repair i did have to continue to drive it and this same thing would happen randomly just going down the road and all of the sudden you get a warning lose the ability to maintain speed and steering becomes difficult.being on the highway in this situation is dangerous since you never know when it might occur.after going to the dealership they listed the repairs on my form as: installed bl3z9e926 b throttle body and motor asy installed bl3z 12029 c coil asy - ignition installed bl3z 12a402 a boot - ignition wire prot (5 items) installed cyfs 12 yt4 spark plug (6 items) the parts and labor of this repair came to $972.56.i have read forums online that that state others have had this repair done as well and some people say their steering rack was replaced as well.this repair was just done yesterday (6-26-21) and i am hopeful that it will fix the problem.i feel that based on the reading i have done this has happened to lots of people and is dangerous, so i wanted to report my incident.
As soon as i took delivery of my new 2015 ford f-150, i noticed the steering wanted to pull to the left. This occurred in all driving conditions and required keeping some "right" pressure on the steering wheel to make the truck go straight. Road conditions, weather conditions and vehicle speeds are not a factor. I have taken the truck back to the dealer's service department on three occasions over the past year for this and a couple of other issues. On only one occasion did the service department actually write up the steering issue on the work order because they talked me into purchasing some sort of "kit" that would fix the problem. I brought up the idea that if a "kit" was required to fix the problem, why would it not be covered under the warranty, but they dismissed that idea and i went ahead a paid for the "kit" ($300) and a realignment of the front end ($80). I figured if this would solve the steering issue, which i felt was a safety problem, i would go ahead and pay the money and have done with it. End result: the truck now still pulls to the left about 40% of the time, pulls to the right about 10% of the time and actually goes fairly straight the rest of the time. It seems as though turning corners or even changing lanes can cause the steering to change from pulling to the left to pulling to the right or maybe even going straight. I want to add that the "pulling" is not severe (more like drifting), but it is bothersome and causes me to have a good deal of concern. I have owned many vehicles over the years, but never had one with this sort of a steering issue.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving approximately 50 mph, either one of the wheels or the steering wheel seized. The contact stated that the failure occurred so fast that he did not know the particular wheel that locked, stating that it could have been the steering wheel. The driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed into an aluminum barrier. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was not filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The dealer and the manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
The truck seems to be rubbing and shaking. Someone said make the hubs and bearings
2015 ford f-150.consumer writes in regards to airbag problems, ignition problems and vehicle tires issues.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.
2015 ford f-150.consumer writes in regards to sun roof rattles/popping noise issues. Consumer states dealership refuses to buy back vehicle. The consumer stated after purchasing the vehicle, he noticed a problem with the roof, weather stripping and the paint was peeling.the dealer replaced the weather stripping, repainted the roof of the cab. Ford engineers did not know how to correct the popping noise.
2015 ford f-150 manual on page 263 has instructions for proper setup of an equalizing hitch for towing a trailer.the instructions call for return of the front fender height 25% of the way from height when loaded with trailer to height with no trailer.this is the opposite of recommendations of the hitch manufacturer who recommends front fender height to 75% of the way from loaded to unloaded condition.in the words of the hitch manufacturer "why would you put on an equalizing hitch and not set it up to do what it's intended to do?". The result of the instructions in the ford manual would be inadequate equalization, and therefore loss of steering with a resulting potential for accident. I think this is just a typo, but have been unable to find anyone at ford who will listen and find someone technical enough to check it out.

All, i have a recall on door latches, but a cause maybe water getting in the doors, then freezing.you try to open and bending on rods occur.i have approx 2 gallons of water in door, and ford says clean out drain...when is a doorsupposed to get soaked and hold water inside? this can cause lots of problems in future. Look at you tube videos 1000 having the problem.so bad it's going under the floor.in the world of flooding a vehicle and totaling does this become the issue?im afraid to look under my floor, because i will become very unprofessional.i'm a life long ford owner and looking for guidance please.. I called corperate ford from 1pm to 215 pm on 1/12/18 and get a recording they can't take call go to ford owner site and hang up.it's the 800 number everyone calls. Why im here.. Water gets in door when raining.
I was never notified of a recall number 17v652 ford recall no 17s33 about door latches
Drivers side front and rear doors either do not open when cold or do not latch when cold. Cannot open doors from the outside with physical key, key fob or remote unlocking.
I have been dealing with ford after they' fixed ' my perfectly working doors after a recall. They gave me back my vehicle and the drivers door didn't work. They never mentioned that part until i got down the road ... When i called they said they had the wrong part and tried to fix with a zip tie... Really? let's fast forward from end of march... Door still doesn't work. I have to roll down window to get out. Part is on back order. And the best part- the problem has been registered as fixed in the recall database for ford so i can't take it to another dealer without paying. So i am driving an unsafe vehicle now that was safe go figure.
When the outside temperature is less than 20 degrees fahrenheit, the front driver side and passenger side doors will not close.they are frozen in the open position. After drivingthe vehicle for about 15 minutes with heat on high (this usually requires one hand holding door closed)the doors will eventually latch.sometimes the driver side door will not unlock, even by using the key.when this occurs, i have to get in the truck through the passenger door.when i do this, the passenger door will not latch.when this happens i have to strap the door closed.this is very dangerous and troublesome as this is a new vehicle.
Repeat issue- this vehicle has been serviced by ford for same latch freezing problem twice through recall and warranty fixes with no resolution. Vehicle was in park and the driver's side door was opened from the outside. The door latch became stuck and the door would not close. The outdoor temp was 29 degrees, and the door lock was frozen. After heating the truck for 20 minutes, latch unfroze and began working. Video is available upon request.
Supercrews rear door locks do not work electronically. Also driver door locks do not work electronically(button or key fob) or manually either inside or with key outside. Also once open, the door will not latch when closed. This happens when the temperature is below freezing. Has only happened stationary and on different days. Leaving the truck run with heat on high allows the doors to lock/latch. This is not an issue with the key lock or door seals freezing as there was no adverse weather other than the cold temperature. Dealer informed me that it happens when the temperature is 22f or colder and that they have more complaints but not enough for a recall. Informed that ford is working on a fix and the parts are currently backorder. Saw online that it looks like this has been an issue with this style truck for over a year.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving in inclement weather, he became aware that the windshield was leaking and causing the carpet to constantly be wet. The contact stated that the carpet became moldy due to the leak. The vehicle was taken to reineke ford lincoln, inc. (12000 county rd 99, findlay, oh 45840) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the welds behind the windshield needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000.
At temperatures below 32 degrees fahrenheit, the door locks and lock mechanisms will intermittently freeze in an opened or closed position. At times, doors will not stay shut when attempts are made to close them from the inside; this occurs on all 4 doors. When the vehicle is in motion, the doors have opened, requiring the passenger and/or driver to physically hold the door closed. The problem has been inspected by the local ford dealer, however they stated that ford has not released a reliable remedy for the problem. Other customers had their vehicles in repair for the same reason.
Door latch freezes - all doors - won't secure until it is warm enough again to work about 34 degrees -sometimes it appears to seem locked only to open as you go around a corner.
At random times: some or all of my doors either won't close or will not open. This can happen while it is driving down the road!there are numerous videos on you tube showing this happening. The recall part that i had done with ford did not help at all!i no longer have a ford dealership in my town. When i did the last recall work for the "rain guards" i had to pay up front then wait to be paid back. This was a complete waste, they actually froze open again a few days later.there is no doubt that ford knows of this problem but they refuse to do anything about it.
Drivers door won't seal properly. Been adjusted before but condition comes back. Hear air coming in while driving. Also see and feel door vibrating.
Was driving on highway, cruise set at 55mph, came over a hill to a car stalled in the road. I couldn't stop, both vehicles declared total loss. Direct hit, front of my 2105 f150 to the rear end of a ford focus, approximately 40mph. Seatbelt tightened and locked up, left bruises across my hips, airbags did not deploy. Hit my face in the steering wheel, bruised knees on dash.
When outside temperature falls below freezing temperatures the door lockswill not unlock electrically or manually.the back doors have been openedmanually after climbing over the console into the back seat and using inside door handle but then have not latched fully when closing allowing door to come open upon driving. I climbed over the console to open the back door this morning and it wouldn't open manually trapping me in the back seat at below freezing temperature because i could not climb back over the front seats. This issue was first filed with nhtsa12/30/2016. Dealer said the problem was fixed in march 2017 but is now happening again. I have had to tie a rope from handle to handle in the back seat to keep the doors closed. Can not safely put children in the back seat for fear of them falling out. This truck should be red flagged until safe to operate. Ford motor company has failed to fix this tsb 15-0052 and tsb 16-0155 properly and safely. The vehicle is usually parked in driveway when the door locks are frozen but has one time been in motion with the back doors not latched fully causing them to come open driving around corners before i tied the doors together.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that there were drops of radiator fluid on the floor. The vehicle was driven to a dealer where it was diagnosed with a fractured radiator and needed replacement. The mechanic also stated that the way the radiator was mounted to the body of the vehicle was what caused the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 46,000.
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 of your door closing...especially on a new vehicle. Ford advised me that they would make you aware of the issue and i just wanted to make sure that you knew about the issue and voice my concerns.
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.
I've had issues with my door latches having my vehicle door open while driving and not locking properly or shutting properly. I have also had issues with my doors being frozen shut due to moisture getting inside the door and then freezing. My dealer has tried to fix this recall twice which failed both times. I've also been notified that the recall fix is not a permanent fix by ford technicians. Clearly this recall is a safety issue and i am concerned for my daughter safety being that the doors will open when they want

Drivers side door will not latch in cold weather. It has left my truck stranded multiple times. As soon as the outside temp gets above freezing the door will latch as normal. This is a serious safety issue that ford needs to address.
2015 f-150 lariat supercrew cabdoor locks and tail gate become frozen in cold weather.this has been happening more often lately with cold temps in michigan winter.got up this morning with my kids to take them to school, got them in the car and the door would not stay closed (rear passenger).checked the latches, the mechanics seemed to be working (handle, etc.) but i could not get the door to stay closed.happens on the doors (all 4) and the tailgate (tailgate would not open).
The rear doors on my truck either freeze shut, freeze open or open while i am driving. I have done the recall work from ford and they told me they can't continue to do recall work that has already been done.
Running board failure on f150 2015 lariat.my 2015 lariat came with factory installed running boards which we need as my wife and i are both 68 years old.the running boards make getting in and out of the cab safe and easy, at least that is what i thought.after 9 months of ownership my wife fell while getting into the truck causing bruising and contusions to her legs.i looked carefully at the running boards after that incident and found that the rubber like treads that were supposed to provide traction when stepped on had come loose and were moving about 1/2" from side to side on the chrome metal step side platform.i took it to my dealer who inspected it and told me they would have to replace the running board.i was concerned about this so i monitored it carefully.nine (9) months later i found that not only the passenger side as coming loose again but so was the driver side.it would appear that the rubber/plastic composite that the non slip treads are made of are simple pushed through holes in the running board steel plate material with no protection on the inserted necks of the tread from being eaten away by the edges of the holes in the plate causing the necks of the treads to deteriorate quickly due to chafing.this entire matter and the way ford responded to my request to cover the defective parts until they can find a safe and reliable solution left me sad.my wife should not be subjected to possible serious injury for what ford's regional manager would like to classify as a cosmetic issue. Step treads on a steel running board are a safety feature not a cosmetic add on.ford must know by now that this issue isn't isolated to my vehicle and that they have a problem with the treads and the design in general.it is a shame they would let a $10 tread tarnish the reviews of their new aluminum body line of trucks.
When the temperature gets below freezing, the door locks will not operate with the key fob or the keypad.until the temperature gets above freezing, you can't get into the vehicle.
Door latches are freezing up, even after the recall "fix" of a water diversion shield.i went back to the dealer to try to have it properly fixed and they told me there is nothing they can do as, the parts we already installed.it has been freezing up every time it's below 32 and i am unable to get into the back seat without crawling through the front and manually unlocking from within.this is a huge safety factor if there were to be an accident and one of my kids was trapped in the back, among other issues of inconvenience.
Door hinges freezing causing doors to not latch and open while driving.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 17v652000 (latches/locks/linkages); however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceed a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact called seelye ford in kalamazoo, michigan (3820 stadium dr 49008) and confirmedthat the parts were not available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Recall remedy did not resolve the issue. The driver door doesn't latch after opening when ambient temperature is below freezing. This has happened twice, the first time less than 10 days after the recall remedy was performed on the vehicle.my truck has push-button start with keyless entry. The door unlocks when my hand is detected on the inside of the door handle and the key fob is in my possession. The first incidence:i observed the lock button popped up as i grabbed the door handle, upon pulling the handle, the door opens. I got into the truck, started it, then got out, before i attempted to close the door. I closed the door, but instead of latching, i noticed it bounced open and rested a couple of inches from its closed position. A second, third, and fourth attempt to push the door closed ended with the same result. Actuating the inside handle did not change the symptom. Actuating the power door lock, which cycled back to unlock, due to the engine running, did not change the symptom. I pressed the power lock button and quickly pulled the door handle before the unlock cycle executed, the lock button stayed down (locked), then i closed the door, the door latched. I unlocked the door and opened it, then closed it, it latched and operated normally.the second incident: the door bounced open, just like the first incident. The door latch continued to misbehave until i pressed the manual lock button then closed the door. The door latched. I pressed the unlock button on the key fob. I observed the door lock button pop up only slightly to return to the locked position. The other doors unlocked. A few more attempts with the key fob did not unlock the door. I entered the passenger side and climbed the center console to get in the drivers seat. I operated the door handle, which also unlocks a locked door, the door opened, then continued to operate normally.
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.
All four doors will not open when unlocking with key, key fob, or door keypad from either side of the door; interior or exterior.this is especially dangerous in the event that the vehicle is in a crash and a passenger is unable to exit due to the door not opening or emergency crews cannot access the vehicle.the vehicle has been attempted to be repaired twice by the dealer and both times the dealer has stated that the problem has been fixed.the tsb 16-0155 issued by ford motor company is not working and they will not acknowledge the vehicle issues.
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
The rear passenger power door lock intermittently fails to unlock the door and it will not work manually. This poses a safety hazard if someone needed to exit the vehicle in an emergency. The nhtsa 17v-652 recall has been performed although the latch was not replaced which is related to this issue as well.
Rear entry doors freeze open and will not latch. Recall 18n03 installed on january 25, 2019 and both doors failed to latch the next day. Drove to the dealer using a ratchet strap to hold doors shut where dealer took vehicle into chop to defrost. This issue persists - previous recall by ford done in april - after winter season. Have been pleading with dealer since winter of 2015 and they said their hands are tied.
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.
In cold weather, the rear driver side door latches are inoperable.the door latch fails to engage, allowing the door to open while the vehicle is in motion. During right hand turns, bumps in the road, or when light pressure is applied to the driver side doors, the vehicle returns a "door ajar" warning as the door open itself. This is especially dangerous in the "supercab" configuration, as the rear door also contains the seat belt for the driver. If the door were to open fully, this could disrupt the driver's ability to control the vehicle, or potentially throw them out of the vehicle. This system failure can also be easily replicated when stationary. Open the driver's door and lightly pull on the rear door. You can see the latch failing to engage as the door move freely at the bottom instead of staying locked shut. When in motion, this problem occurs at all speeds, from parking lot maneuvers to highway travel. The first instance of this failure occurred at approximately 17*f. The door jambs and latch assemblies were confirmed to be free of ice, snow, or any other debris.
Electric rear tailgate falls down randomly while driving at speed or even while parked.tailgate has fallen 5-6 times while truck is parked in last few months and also 5+ times while car is driving.it has fallen while truck was in reverse, and while truck was traveling on country roads at speeds of ~40mph. Please note - this issue seems identical to the one ford just announced a recall for on the 2017-2019 f-250 superduty trucks.it must be related.our truck was in the shop just last week before this recall was announced.this truck should be included in the recallthe tailgate most recently fell 11/28/19
My rear passenger side door wouldn't open a couple weeks ago. It was freezing temps that day, and figured it was related to nhtsa recall # 17v652.i was unable to open the door, even though it was unlocked. It was stuck at the bottom hinge. So i took it to the mclarty food dealership in north little rock, ar.they had my truck there all day. Since they couldn't open the door, they said it wasn't related to the recall.they also tried to say it was a result of a collision. This is the first time this has happened.i informed them that my truck was in a collision over a year and half ago, but the truck was completed fixed at their mclarty collision center with new ford oem parts.i even stated that therecall description even stated that the door could become unable to open because of a bent door latch cable. They still refused to fix it unless i paid them $130 diagnostic fee.because i still had a warranty on the collision repair work, i took it back to collision company.they were able to get the door off in less than 30 minutes.as predicted, a door latch cable was my issue. The collision people even agreed it was related to the recall, and sent me a picture of the bent cable.
While driving our 2015 ford f-150 lariat supercrew on a trip from ohio to florida on interstate i-77 we were towing a 14 foot enclosed trailer. My wife and i stopped for the night after approximately 550 miles and i made sure the truck was secure. In the morning i walked around the trailer and the truck to be sure everything was okay and it was before continuing our drive.we were just north of charlotte, nc and there has been a lot of new road construction as we continued south with rough bumpy areas, changing road lanes and justa lot of twisting sections. After 2 hours and south of charlotte we stopped for fuel. I then saw that the tailgate was down. I was shocked as i looked and was glad we had not lost any items on the road, we could have killed someone. The tailgate received damage because as the twisting and required lane changes happened the trailers front tongue wheel support post was jamming against the dropped tailgate. We feel so fortunate to have not lost the heavy items in the truck that could have made us responsible for a sever accident. I took the truck to the ford dealer in mount dora, fl and was told the recall currently is for just the f-250 & f-350 models with the power tailgate. They "ran" my vin number and told me this truck is not in the same recall.even though the f-150 "lariat" upgrade model has the same power tailgate as the two in the recall.please help and require the justified recall to be specific to not just the vehicle vin or model numbers but to all those with this type of functioning power tailgate. I have called fords's consumer (866) help center and they are not admitting replacement for my damaged tailgate even though the dealer body shop manager had me present to see as they took the tailgate apart. We found inside one broken part for the mechanical latch controller that secures the locking of the tailgate.
Frame has welds that missed their target.dealer rewelded one and ignored another.the frame also showed streaks of rust where section were overlapped.less than a month of owning it, a few hundred miles and no road salt exposure.
Doors will not latch when temperature goes below 25i have been trying to get this issue resolved since february 2016i have received a recall but dealership says that the parts are not available the problem has gone on way too long
I have an extended cab 2015 f-150 pick up truck. The rear suicide doors do not latch closed which leaves the front seat belt attachment unattached to the car whatsoever. I took the truck to ed shults ford in jamestown, ny and they determined the rear door latch cable is stretching out which keeps the door from latching. This is happening on a 3 year old truck. The dealer also informed me that they see this several times a week on other f-150's with the extended cab rear suicide doors. No recall or tsb has been issued so they are charging me to fix the cable and latch. This is a huge safety concern for me. The doors need to latch, how long will this "fix" last for? the truck is 3 years old, i should not need to replace door cables on the inside of the door ever, let alone within 3 years from being produced. The door cable is internal to the door and not affected by swinging the door open. I am asking for ford to address the safety concern and provide all customers with a safe, long term fix for this door latch mechanism on 2015 f-150's with rear suicide doors.
Tailgate opens spontaneously while driving and while parked. The tailgate has an electronic release mechanism. After checking to ensure the tailgate was secure it has released five separate times. Once in the garage, causing damage to the paint on the tailgate after opening the garage door and once on the front of a car parked behind the truck. Fortunately i didn't have cargo in the back.
Truck hit a utility pole in the median while traveling west on barbara jordan blvd at lancaster dr.it spun around, and landed on the east bound side of barbara jordan blvd at lancaster dr. The airbags never deployed.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While attempting to exit the vehicle, the automatic running board inadvertently retracted. As a result, the contact's foot was lodged between the running board and the vehicle. The dealer (buss ford lincoln, 111 north illinois route 31, mchenry, il 60050) was made aware of the failure. The manufacturer was also contacted and stated that there was no recall for that specific failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 51,000.
Doors on my super crew cab will not open when temperatures are below 22 degrees.doors are frozen shut.dealer "fixed" front doors but rear doors were not fixed, parts on nation-wide back order but dealer says it is likely ford engineers trying to solve problem with newly designed hardware.
The "moon roof" on the truck when i went to open it became "jammed" and would not go back to closed position nor would it open therefore it was (the passenger side) not an air/water tight seal. I had to take it to the dealer for a $2300 repair. The repair, to this day is still not 100% correct. In looking on line mine is not the only truck this has happened to. Something is not right with the mechanics of it as i have open and closed the moon roof, at the maximum of, 12 times since i purchased in 2016, something is just not right with that feature to be used so seldom and when it breaks down the cost being so extreme.
I recently received a recall 17v-652 from ford for an issue with door latches. In the recall notice they state if you have a problem with the door to call the dealer to have it fixed immediately. My door has swung open twice while driving both times with my sons in the front seat. Most recently this morning. I called the dealer north country ford in coon rapids mn and they said there is nothing they can do because they don't have the part to fix it. I called the manufacturer and they said to call the dealer. Truck is not useable in the winter as is. Too dangerous to drive.
Moonroof will not open. Fabric moonroof cover will not open or close; it is open exposing the front half of the moonroof, but leaving the back covered. When driving, the sound of passing wind is loud. Before this happened, i had only opened the moon roof one or two times.
2 f150 safety recalls: passenger side seat belt and door locking mechanism. Contacted gullo ford conroe tx, they were not able to cheduje recall repairs due to inability to maintain stock and were not able to even schedule the repairs. Very dis-satisfied w the response and over all management of the repairs. No sense of urgency and concern about the criticality of the recalls.
Rear power windshield shattered while it was parked in the sun. We were on a hike and came back and the window was shattered. Temp was approximately 85 degrees. Rear bed cover was on and metal button was touching the window. Not sure what caused it to shatter
When cold, doors do not latch securely and door will appear a jar in gauge cluster as well as being a jar.in addition doors have popped open while in motion because they are not securely closed.
It has been nearly nine months since ford first reported a recall on certain ford f-150 trucks related to faulty door latches. To date, ford has still not notified effected owners how or where they can have their vehicles repaired. I encourage the nhtsa to determine whether or not ford is living up to its obligations to repair the defect on a timely basis. Lives are at stake.
Door latches are frozen and inoperable in temperatures below freezing.doors will not open, and if they do open, they will not close. A major safety concern.truck was parked in my lot over night.events occurred during the months of 12/2016 and 01/2017.i live in north carolina, a place where it does not get below freezing often.
My 2015 ford f150 truck has inoperative frozen door latches.i have waited 6-8 weeks for the parts to come in. Ive had many occasions ive had to bungee my door somewhat closed to get my family home.i cannot get into my truck and when i do i cannot get the door to shut because of the inoperative door latches. I had it at a ford dealership for a frozen door latch, inoperative tsb (16-0155) on 1/6/17. On 1/7/17 i went out to my truck and i cannot get into it even with the tsb work done the day before. They replaced some updated parts and cleaned and lubed the latches.i also have windows that freeze shut with no snow or ice holding them shut. These are major safety issues ! i have a few video recordings of me trying to get into my truck with no luck and have stopped to my dealer with a bugee holding the passenger door from opening with my 2 yr old son in the back. Ive been dealing with these problems since new.
The (driver's side) door sometimes does not latch completely, or will not close completely, even though we have had it repaired under fsa 18no3. We learned there was a fsa 19no2 and that the dealer should repair it again at no charge, but they want to charge us $150, even though ford says it should be free.
Truck was in motion (straight lane) on dry pavement street.driver pushed on brakes to stop and nothing happened.truck kept moving forward and hit a stopped car waiting at a red light.after impact, the truck was driven to the curb and was able to come to a complete stop with the brakes.
While driving my 2015 ford f-150 ecoboost at 45 mph on a city street i had a low break fluid warning light come on. I stopped at a stop light and all seemed fine.i proceeded 2 blocks to find somewhere safe to check the brake fluid level. When i tried to stop at the next stop light i had no brakes at all!!! i went through the red light intersection with my foot to the floor on the brakes. With luck, i did nothit another vehicle. I coasted slow enough to use my parking brake (e-brake) to make a full stop. I open the hood and noticed that the brake fluid reservoir was almost completely empty. After carefully examining all of the brake lines ,fittings, calipers, master cylinder and the engine compartment no brake fluid was found leaking anywhere. I had the 2015 ford f-150 ecoboost towed to a dealership. Also about a week ago during a long road trip i noticed a lot of wind noise coming from the drivers door. I was on an interstate going about 75 mph. I got off of the interstate and re-closed my door thinking i did not shut it hard enough. About 5 miles down the interstate driving about 75 mph i went over an approach (or a bump) to a bridge and the door dropped out of it's closed position and i could stick 4 fingers out between the door and door frame. I pull over at a safe area to exam the door and frame. I noticed that the door bolts (top and bottom) that hold the door hinge to the door had come loose and backed out about 4 turns. I tightened them and finished my trip. I notified the dealership so they can see why that had happened.
Drivers door latch will not keep door shut.some cold mornings the truck can not be used. The door will open, but not latch shut. Seems to have to do with the inside door handle, it will flop around and not reset. At some time as it heats up it will start working again. This morning it was 8deg, drove my child to bus stop. Got out of truck and door would not latch shut. Had to drive home with dome light on and holding door shut... Not good for a 2 year oldcar. This is the third time this winter this has happened.
Doors of the vehicle freeze up and don't open or after opening, they dont shut securely. I recently had to drive to my destination while holding the drivers door in a closed position while driving. Door would not latch until later in the day. Temperatures were not below freezing outside. This is am extreme safety issue i have been dealing with for three years on all my doors, with no proper fix from the ford motor company.
Prior to daylight, i needed to pull off the road, and when i did, a highway marker had been bent/damaged toward the inside of the roadside lane. My truck was scrapped by the damaged highway marker.i was in motion, and i was on the i10 on-ramp at hwy 90 in tillmans corner mobile county.
Oil pan repair was unsuccessful. Began leaking 17,000 miles after initial warranty repair. Truck currently has 71,000 miles. 2nd issue is paint over windshield is peeling. It appears tape was not removed and primer did not adhere.
Doors will not latch when it gets cold out. 10 degrees or lower.
Re: campaign 17v652000.frozen doors/locks.vehicle has had both the recall 17v652000 and service action 18n03 performed, issue still exists.doors will not close and latch, doors will not open, lock mechanisms will not function when below freezing temperatures are present, especially after precipitation.vehiclewas stationary when issue occurred, however door could have easily opened if i had not realized it wasn't latched when it appeared to be.ford does not appear to have a solution to this issue, or isn't serious about providing permanent remedy.issue has happened several times when weather conditions apply.
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 problemsecondly, 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.
The image in the driver side rear view is distorted into dual or blurred image. It is difficult to capture while moving, but is, escalated when multiple vehicles and lanes are present. Escalated even further in inclement and night driving conditions. The spot mirror is integrated with the main rearview mirror further distracting the driver from the road ahead as well as points to the same line of horizon that proves to beboth driver and passenger rearview mirrors, making side and rear safety cushion observation ineffective and inefficient. Many citizens install pick up bed truck caps to protect their belongings. The design of these mirrors alone is detrimental to safety observation. Add in defective performance sits on the slope of reckless endangerment. Which brings me to the indented signaling programed into the turn indicators. This indented feature promotes unsafe turning/lane change maneuvers. Using the 100 ft. Rule. It is impossible complete a safe lane change and share the road with other drivers in the time allotted 3 flashes. Three before , three during and three after is pushing a less experienced driver. None the less is the accepted courteous driver rule, not to mention the rule of law. At the very least this mirror should have a warning of poor visual when installing truck cap and dealer should be required to warn prospect thereof. As well as the manufacturer needs to offer an optional application. Safe cars save lives. This photo examines the defect occurring at center angle of mirror. The defect is more pronounced moving towards the edge. But definitely occurs before the line caused by auto dimming film. ( unable to upload photo) but available on request. Update! 5/11/2017 as of now i am allowing fomco to repair and replace this defective mirror. I still believe it to be a safety design flaw and should be removed upon verification of towing intention.
Door latches freeze during cold weather.can not open doors or can not get doors to close once opened.i have had all recalls and customer satisfaction programs preformed.dealer has no other fix options available from ford.all 2015 f150's exposed to cold climates have the potential for door latches to freeze.for the past three years i have had to drive with door or doors unable to close at times.i don't think a ratchet strap holding doors closed is safe.this is a serious issue that has been continuing for the past three winters.you just never know when the latches will or will not work.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 17v652000 (latches/locks/linkages); however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact called a local dealer (mark mclarty ford, 4400 landers run rd north, little rock, ar 72117) and was informed that the parts were not available. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
The rear sliding window bond has lost its adhesive.while driving the window started to blow in causing the debris to blow into my cab.ford has not done anything to remedy my complaint.
Vista roof hangs up when trying to open and close. Diagnosis was to replace both left and right sliding glass brackets and reinitialize sunroof motors and retest sliding glass operation. The vehicle was stationary when the binding occurred. I had the same problem occur at 52,622 miles on 10/31/2019. My roof is bound up just like the original occurrence. The vehicle was sitting stationary in my garage at the time.
The platinum trim version includes retractable running boards.these fail to deploy on occasion and have resulted in both my wife and i stumbling when getting out and expecting the running board to be deployed.it will also deploy and then immediately retract without warning.in the best, one side or the other would deploy and then immediately retract.dealer has been unable to provide a permanent fix.last night my wife opened the passenger door, the running board deployed, and as i wife attempted to step on it, it retracted which could have pinned her leg.earlier that evening she went to exit the vehicle and stumbled after expecting the running board to be deployed.it had deployed but immediately retracted.this has also happened to me on the drivers side.
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.
During temperatures below freezing (32 f) one or more of the door locks and/or latches will freeze and become inoperable.power lock buttons will not function to unlock the door and door handles will not open the doors (from the outside).doors have to be unlocked from the inside, by manually cycling the pull knob multiple times to loosen the frozen lock. Frozen door latches are only able to be opened from the inside (using the inside handles).at times, the frozen door locks and latches will not re-secure the doors and the doors will not lock or the latch will not secure and the door will remain unsecured/open and/or unlocked. Spoke to dealer about this issue in feb. 2016 and was advised that ford issued a temporary fix for the issue and a permanent fix would be coming in the next 90 days.checked back with the dealer in the end of may 2016 - was advised that ford still has not issued a permanent fix for the door lock/latch issue and they could give me no further information - other than the temporary fix that ford issued over the winter only seemed to be a partial solution and was not a permanent fix.i find this to be a significant problem and defect for any new ford f150 being driven in a northern climate. Having doors that are unable to be opened from the outside presents a safety issue as well as having door locks that are frozen shut and have to be manually manipulated from the inside in order to release the lock.additionally, the fact that the doors and locks may not re-secure the door when closed, leaves you not knowing if you vehicle is locked or if your doors will come open while driving. In addition to being extremely frustrating, this is certainly a safety issue for owners of new f150's as the doors may not be able to be opened or unlocked during below freezing temp.'s. The truck is now one year old and still no fix/solution from ford.
The trucks doors and locks often will freeze in cold weather.the locks might not unlock the doors, sometimes you'll hear the actuator trying to unlock the door, other times it is so frozen you won't even hear the attempt.the doors can't be unlocked with the key either.once you've heated the mechanism enough to enter through one of the doors (per internet postings and service bulletins, the problem is only with crew cabs) the latch that keeps the door closed is still frozen in the open position meaning you can't close and latch the door.reading internet posts about the problem, i see that people are driving around holding their doors closed and doing other dumb and unsafe things.i talked to my dealer in december and then again in late january.i was told both times that they aren't getting the parts from ford until hopefully late march 2017 to start fixing the problem.i spoke with another dealer and they advised that they are getting the parts very slowly and if i want on their repair list, i'd be #57 for repairs.i spoke with ford customer service and was told my issue had been noted and that i should check with the dealer service manager at the dealership that isn't getting any parts.sounds like a runaround.anyway, ford has issued two service bulletins tsb 15-0051 and then 1tsb 16-0155.they know there is a problem but they don't seem to care about it.when you live in a freezing climate and you can't open or worse, close your door, it's a safety issue.
Drivers side sideview mirror glass is loose and will shake going over bumps or driving at highway speeds.during particularly high wind, bumpy highway travel, it can be extremely difficult to discern what you are seeing in the mirror, making it very difficult and unsafe to perform lane changes.this has been described by ford motor company as an "unfavorable characteristic of the vehicle".
Rear glass on on f150 simply shattered this morning while closing door. It was 45 degrees with no weather. It just shattered, no impacts, no objects.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the vehicle doors independently opened. The contact stated that the failure occurred only in the winter months. The failure was persistent. The vehicle was towed to f. X. Caprara ford (84 caprara dr, pulaski, ny 13142) where it was diagnosed that the latches failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer where it was repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 17v652000 (latches/ locks/linkages), but failed to completely remedy the failure. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was approximately 827.
Windshield washer fluid frozen in lines. When pushing the washer fluid button while driving, the wipers would wipe but not washer fluid would come out causing a dangerous visibility situation. I took it to the dealer that day while they were still frozen and the dealer said i did have the correct windshield washer fluid in them, but they were having problems with them freezing, so they said they dumped more alcohol in the tank and said to let it thaw overnight in the garage (thankfully i have a heated garage, but many don't so i'm not sure what their solution would be). I asked the dealer to perform the tsb currently out that covers this very situation. They said they put more alcohol in the tank and it should be fine. The dealer was dahl ford located in onalaska, wi. This even being a problem to begin with is a alarming, and a dealer not willing to fix such an important problem when it's a known issue is just as much of an alarm!secondly, my door latches also freeze on the truck when temps are below freezing. All 4 doors of my crew cab are affected. Depending on the day, it varies which one freezes. I have stopped using car washes and trying to keep my truck as dry as possible to no avail. Once these latches freeze, the door will either not lock or unlock (depending on the last position of the switch), or when you open the door and shut it, the door mechanism will not grab and hold the door shut. After repeated slammings i can usually get it to lock, but this is absolutely ridiculous. I have to carry bungee cords around in case my doors won't close and i have to bungee cord them closed to drive home! i have a newborn, i can't have this crap on a truck with 20k miles! many many many many many people are having these exact same issues, i only found out how many there were after doing an online search for a fix.
At freezing temperatures, the front drivers side door will not always open.if it does, it may not latch when closing and i have to drive home holding the door closed.i took it to the dealer last winter and they said they could not replicate the problem.apparently there is a tsb from ford identified as 15-0052.this is a nuisance at minimum and dangerous if the door will not close.my model is a super cab.
In reference to tsb 15-0052, currently referenced under tsb 16-0155 door locks become inoperable in freezing conditions. I have currently been waiting two weeks for back ordered parts. With multiple tsb's this has been an ongoing issue for ford and back ordered parts over a year later should be unacceptable. Ford's national customer service was of little help, creating case # 115-897-76 and directing me to talk with the manager of my dealership.my individual experience includes a drivers door that will only open from inside and does not shut unless i manually lock the door. Electronic locks completely fail. To push the lock on top of the door (in order to securely close) has become increasingly difficult, almost to the point where it is seized. Driving is a safety concern not knowing the state of how functional and reliable the door latch and hardware is. Door, knowingly ajar, has previously opened while driving before i found pushing the lock in allows it to close. Sure hope others experiencing this issue know this trick.
Ford has not addressed the following safety recall notice, which they released on 16 oct 2017. According to a local ford dealership, ford has not distributed the appropriate parts to make the necessary repairs..... A frozen door latch or a bent or kinked actuation cable may result in a door that will not open or will not close condition. Should a customer be able to open and close the door with these conditions, the door may appear closed, but the latch may not fully engage the door striker and there is a potential the door could open while driving.
Duringbelow freezing temperatures intermittently the drivers door won'tlatch repeated closing of the door and cycling of the locksdon't work. Warmer temps later let it latch.during below freezing temperatures intermittently the left rear door won't unlatch repeated cycling of the locks have no effect. Warmer temps later let it open.glare from the chrome dash vent cause a very distracting glare on the window when using the drivers side view mirror.at a glance both sideview mirrors seem ok but when you scan across them they appear to have been obtained from a funhouse, distracting.
The vehicle is a 2015 ford f-150 extended cab.my vehicle has not been involved in an incident, but there is a defect in the design of the seatbelt/door latches. Design of the rear doors and the latches traps the rear seat passenger in the event of the incapacitation of the front seat passenger.the rear door cannot be opened unless the front door is opened first.there is no way for a rear seat passenger to be able to open the front door in the case of an accident, and there is no alternative method of egress for rear seat passengers.this is a design defect affecting all 2015 f-150 crew cab pickups.so far there i have not had an accident, but the problem should be addressed by ford before there are tragic results from the design error.
Design flaw in vista sunroof on supercrew trucks is a known issue to leak. There is a service bulletin out but requires a $1200-$1500 repair fee. In addition, known flaw in lug nuts expanding to point of not being able to remove wheels. Coat to replace another known defect is $14 per lug nut.major issues should be covered when related to locked wheels and water leakage into passenger compartment during operation.

The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 17v331000 (latches/locks/linkages, structure). The vehicle was repaired by the mc mahon ford company located at (3300 s. Kings highway blvd, saint louis, mo 63139), however, the door would become unlatched at any bump on the road. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the failure was repaired. The failure recurred. The technician stated that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact to take the vehicle back to the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 82,523.
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.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 2 mph, the rear driver's side passenger door became ajar. The contact was able to close the door, but the failure recurred twice. The vehicle was taken to ipswich ford (105 county rd, ipswich, ma 01938, (978) 356-6850) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 17v652000 (latches/locks/linkages) and that the failure was attributed to the conditions described in the recall campaign. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was also contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 32,000.
My 2015 ford f 150 has been in the shop 6 times for repair of the moonroof that won't open, sticks, broken mechanism, or makes loud noise (popping sound) when it tries tom open.it has now developed a water leak that drips from the sliding rear window switch which may cause a short circuit. This problem happens at all vehicle modes.this problem started 4 months after purchasing the vehicle in 2015 and has continues to present day.vehicle currently has 26+k miles.there are numerous complaints on the web about the same issue (s).
Doors will freeze shut making entry/exit of the vehicle impossible in temp's under 20* this has happened 4 times this winter alone. The cold temp is what's affecting it, since moisture was not present 3/4 times.
All american ford in paramus nj will not supply a loaner vehicle for a recall that will take several hours. I was told since i did not purchase the vehicle at that dealership they can't help me.
Doors will not latch closed when temperatures drop below freezing. I had my vehicle brought into the dealer earlier this year to replace the latches and install the door gutter. Today was the first frost since that work was completed and the doors would not close once again. Fords fix to this issue does not work. I have been asked to bring my vehicle in again so they can replace the latches again. I attempted to call ford to let them know that their fix is not a permanent fix. This morning my door flung open getting on the highway. While i did not fall out i suspect it is only a matter of time and ford needs to find a real fix to this problem rather than waste time on a solution that has proven itself not to fix the issue.
When the weather temp falls below zero in the negatives.my passagers side doors freeze shut.they will not unlatch or unlock, the condition makes a vehicle unsafe for emergency exits.
Drivers side door will not latch when temperature drops below 32 degrees due to faulty door latch. While travelling down the road the drivers door will swing open unless held shut by driver or other mechanical means. We have contacted ford and they confirm a problem and since issued a tsb.
Bought f150 in fall of 2015, first few days of cold weather my back passengers doors would not close.they just kept bouncing back at me.did that a few times didn't think that much about it.next fall season of 2016 i haven't been able to open my rear doors onmy 55,000 vehicle for the past 4 months.now my tailgate won't open up either! what a joke.took it to ford dealer and told me it would be at least 1 month before parts would come in there on back order!so ford knows about the problem but won't do anything about it.salesman offered me some rope to tie the doors shut so they wouldn't open up!!!!!!!!how about that for a safety concern.$55,000 vehicle and they offer me rope to keep my doors closed.i can't put me kids on the truck can't use my vehicle for ways i intended for the past 5 months yet i keep paying my payments of this.what a joke.just tried to open my tailgate yesterday and the lock mechanism isn't even triggering the lock in the tailgate, its seized up can't use that now either.someone needs to do something about this.
I bought my f150 in the late summer of 2015. During the winter of 2015 to 2016 my f150 was garaged with no issues. During the winter of 2016 to 2017 my f150 was not in the garage and during the months of december the front and rear passengers doors locks would not open and or close. It was my option that a automatic starter would help because the truck would be able to heat up and the doors would open and close properly (hopefully). From previous experiences, after the truck warms up the automatic locks worked. Unfortunately the automatic starter did not help. The truck would run around 25 to 35 minutes before the locks would unlock properly but the locking mechanism would not lock the door after being closed and other times the locking mechanism did lock the doors when closed. The last straw was the door locking mechanism was locked and my kids were in the back seat driving down our driveway to the bus stop and as i stopped the left rear door opened on its own. I exited the truck and tried to reclose the door but the door would not latch closed. I brought the truck back to a locale dealership and explained the problem regarding the locking mechanism. It was also noted that during our conversations that i have had a few times that the window washing fluid would not work. It was mentioned that there is a tsb issued regarding the two problems happening in cold weather. The dealership has had my 2015 f150 since january 16th 2017 because the parts are on back order. The pickup is not safe to drive with the doors not being able to be secured in cold weather. If there was an accident you can potentially be trapped in your vehicle if the locks don't automatically unlock as designed. After reading so much material on line regarding all the complaints on the frozen door locking mechanism, why ford has not recalled the pickup considering how dangerous this is concerns me.
Driver side door fails to remain latched after closure. After closing the door (and the vehicle registering the door as closed), i began driving and leaned against the door. A short distance later, the door unlatched itself and opened. I had to pull over and open/shut the door several times (and lock/unlock the locks) to get it to latch properly. Ford has issued their own notice offering a voluntary door latch inspection and replacement; however due to the potential danger the self-opening door placed me in- this should be a mandatory recall for all fords with this type of latching mechanism on their doors. I was on a road with a 30 mph speed limit when this incident occurred and was bucked-up (luckily).
I bought my 2015 ford f150 super cab truck used in july 2015. Since december 2018 the driver side door's (front & back) will not open when ice or water is present below freezing temperatures. If and when i can get them open they will not latch back. So far this winter this has happened several times. The first time was in december 2018 while visiting at a hospital in muncie, indiana. After visiting for several hours the temperature had dropped. I unlocked the doors with the remote and the door would not open. Then after i pulled hard several times it finally opened but when i closed the door t would not latch. After many unsuccessful tries at getting the doors to latch i had to wrap my belt through the tops of the opened windows to hold the doors closed. The door open alarm then continued to sound for the two and one half drive home. It had rained earlier in the day but then with temperature at about 28 deg., they froze up. The next three times the same thing happened but over night, finding the same problem in the morning. I couldn't use the truck safely so it sat in the driveway until it thawed. The last (fifth) time i ran the engine and heater for about a half hour until i could get it to latch. Here it is against the law to let a vehicle run while unattended. I did get an official looking questionnaire in the mail and i sent it to advantage ford in connersville, indiana (i think). I should have kept a copy for myself. This is not only an inconvenience but very unsafe.

In cold weather 1 or more of the doors do not lock or unlock electrically.been a problem for 2 years now.dealer has supposedly repaired but the problem persists.
The door/latches when the weather is cold the doors will not open, the latches break, the locks wont go up or down and you are either locked out r locked in and cannot open the doors in case of emergency. Also- the latches don't work in cold weather so the doors will not close and they fly open while driving. My real issue is that according to the tsb ford company knew of this problem on the 2015 f150s in april of 2015 and i did not buy this truck until december of 2015! that is 8 months!! and it has happened to not only 2015s but also 2016s and 2017s! this should have been a recall. Ford is getting away with it because it only happens in cold weather months and not to every ford truck. The tsb numbers are - ford tsb 16-0155 for 2015-2017 f150 door latch & locking in cold weather and ford tsb # 15-0052: here is a link to a site where there are multiple complaints in the forum https://www.fordf150.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=123522.i have video of the doors not closing after they say they fixed it. I will put a date of occurence below, but this has happened multiple times and the truck was also fixed two times for this reason, problems still persist.
Driver door would not latch shut in cold weather.
All door latches become inoperable, will not open or close (latch), during wet and or cold weather. Received tsb notice from ford nov. 2017, called dealer, told parts not in, we'll call.as of 2/8/2018, still no parts in per dealer.this is becoming a serious issue when doors won't open or securely close.the problem began in 2017, before the tsb was issued and has happened numerous times since.
Vehicle lets water into the doors.water does not drain properly.seat belts get iced over in cold weather, causing them to not work properly.they do not retract, hold tension.
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 vehicle is equipped with the "panoramic sunroof/moonfoof". It has never worked flawlessly since the day i purchased the vehicle. 3 days ago, it opened and now will not close. My vehicle basically has a permanent hole in the roof. Ford dealer says this is common problem and the entire window frame has to come out of the ceiling and be replaced by the one that ford has "redesigned"...but no recall.
Rear door will not latch or stay closed in freezing temperatures

All four doors freeze shut and cannot be opened.at one point i was able to yank open the driver door but it would not latch shut.i brought to ford last winter for recall fix and they supposedly accomplished it.
As it rain or during vehicle washings, notice that water was leaking from the a-frame trim on the driver side of the vehicle.also found that water was collecting inside of the driverside rear door between the sheet metal.unsure of how the water manage to get inside and collect between the sheet metal.i removed the door gasket and the water drained from the bottom holes that holds the door gasket anchors at the bottom of the door.collected close to a half gallon of rain water.as i was driving i could hear the water moving around in the door panel and originally assumed that it was the gas in the gas tank, however, after i opened the rear driverside door, i heard the water moving around inside the door panel.water collects when driving and when vehicle is stationary.
I was driving to work with no other cars around me when i heard a loud bang and my back window shaddered without anything hitting it. I was driving on a smooth highway that was just redone 2 years ago
'2015 f-150 supercab and supercrew cab vehicles built on or before 3/25/2015 may exhibit inoperative door latches during or after freezing temperatures.' - tsb 15-0052 tsb 16-0155 (2016) door latch recall 17s33 (2017) ford customer satisfaction program/recall 18n03 (2018).... Latest on record.....the door latch problems persist during cold weather causing doors to not open at all or not latch while driving. The problem has happened while the vehicle was parked and while driving. My problem started in january of 2017 and has persisted every winter since then. Regardless of any repair attempts made by the dealership via ford recommended repairs.mileage at first concern is estimated.
Bottom latch in rear door, passenger side (supercab) would not latch shut during a cold spell, causing a warning notification while driving that the rear door was open. I pulled on bottom of door and verified that the door was not latched and it would move a significant amount. Ford is aware of this and there is a ford ssm that only dealers can see on this issue (#46260). This is a safety issue and should be a recall as i had my daughter next to this door. Many others are experiencing the same issue. Only a matter of time until someone falls out a door. What happens is moisture is running down the doors and onto the latches. It then freezes on the latch, causing them not to function properly. This especially happens after going through a car wash on a very cold day or after a rain event and then the temperature drops.also, during the same time my front doors would not open even though the door handle would fully move. The latches internal to the door were frozen due to moisture. Ford is also aware of this issue and issued tsb 16-0155 to install rain guards above the latches.
Passenger side door does not operate when temperatures are below freezing.door will open while driving if the temp thaws the door. Brought to the dealer over 3 times.apparently there is a recall on this issue but my particular vin is not included in the recall. It probably should be.
Complaint - manufacturer handing of nhtsa recall 17v652i have contacted ford multiple times regarding this recall and each time they have said i would be contacted when the parts are ready. It has been nearly a year since the original recall (nov 2017). I encourage nhtsa to assess ford's handling of this safety recall to determine if they are unnecessarily delaying required safety repairs.
Manufacturer recall number17s33nhtsa recall number17v652i have not been contacted regarding this recall.
Ford f150 lariat 2015 crew cab since it was new (feb 2015) has weekly, had the passenger rear door lock stick making it impossible to open the door either from the inside or the outside.i took the car to the dealer in the early days of ownership for warrantee repair but they never could duplicate the problem.the vehicle was recently in for a recall notification for a cable issue with the door opening system which could fail, allowing the door to either not open or open unexpectedly.the replacement of the cable did not fix this problem and it continues until today.on march 27th i took the door apart to see if i could locate the problem. I was concerned and anxious, that if the car were to be involved in an accident, access through the passenger rear door could be blocked, making my grandson susceptible to possible danger if he was in his car seat.he lives with me and i take him to school everyday.today the door jammed at his school as it does on 25% of the days i take him to school which causes problems in the school unloading zone.when i got home i once again tried to replicate the problem.i found the problem and will now describe it. The door lock, jams in a locked position if the door is locked and the rear passenger window is lowered more than 1".from the 1" open to full open position, the door lock will not disengage or permit the door to be opened by either the interior or exterior door handles. This occur no matter what the operating state the vehicle is in. The electric locking system will not unlock the door and manually pulling on the release button has only resulted in tearing the button from the metal rod to which it is attached (which happened today).so, any time the window is cracked open from 1" to full open, the locking system freezes in the locked position making the door a hazard and useless as an entry or exit means.
Door latch not working in freezing conditions. The vehicle has only 12,000 miles and has been into the dealer three times (two under recall) for this problem. It still has the same problem. The door will not latch either while stationary or in motion causing it to open while driving ( i've had to use a bungee cord on occasion) and it also makes it impossible to lock the vehicle when this happens.ford's "fixes" are not satisfactory and this is a safety and security issue.
Driver side door will not latch at times. This has happened 3 times already and i have only had the vehicle 2 months. The first time i had to unlock and lock it multiple times ot get it to open the next i had to shut off the engine and the third time i had to press in the maual lock for it to latch. It did not latch when stationary or when in motion.
I have had over a dozen problems with the door locks in cold weather. The doors will not open and some time later you can get one open then they will not shut the door will bounce back. Once i get about 10 mikes down the road with the heater blasting wide open they will finally latch closed. I have been to two dealers and no help. Stationary and driving.
Driver door frequently will not latch shut in cold weather. This means sometimes being stranded or having to drive with the driver's door swinging open. This is a widespread issue.
During below freezing conditions drivers door will not close, will not lock or unlock. Ford has issued a technical service bulletin, tsb 15-0052, but the ford service dept. Says it does not fix the problem. Not really safe driving the truck with one arm holding the door closed for several months of the year. Ford service claims there is nothing they can do unless ford issues a recall action with a real fix.

2015 ford f-150 manual on page 263 has instructions for proper setup of an equalizing hitch for towing a trailer.the instructions call for return of the front fender height 25% of the way from height when loaded with trailer to height with no trailer.this is the opposite of recommendations of the hitch manufacturer who recommends front fender height to 75% of the way from loaded to unloaded condition.in the words of the hitch manufacturer "why would you put on an equalizing hitch and not set it up to do what it's intended to do?". The result of the instructions in the ford manual would be inadequate equalization, and therefore loss of steering with a resulting potential for accident. I think this is just a typo, but have been unable to find anyone at ford who will listen and find someone technical enough to check it out.

My 2015 truck will occasionally lag in acceleration for no reason. It creates dangerous issues when going through intersections. It only has 56k miles . It should not be lagging like this by reasonable means.

I bought this truck brand new from the dealer 8-2015. As of august 1, 2019 the truck stated vibrating between 50 mph and 75 mph while driving on the highways.i am getting a vibration from what appears to be my drive axle.it is most prominent when letting off the throttle and coasting from 75 mph to 50 mph. You can feel it in the steering wheel and you can also hear it.
On wednesday, 6-26-19 at approx. 3:15 pm my truck was sitting in the driveway and had been parked there since approx. Noon monday. Temp. Was in the low 90's with partial sun.the truck was sitting in partial shade.i got into the truck to run errands and shut the drivers side door.i then heard a pop and something moving. I couldn't figure out what was happening since i hadn't even started the engine yet.i looked backwards to where the sound was coming from and that's when i saw the entire rear window had exploded and was in a million pieces.shards were inside the truck, on the concrete, in the bed of the truck and in between the cab and the bed of the truck. Most of the shards landed outside the cab.i have no idea what caused this.i've had the truck since it was new. First as my company work truck and then i purchased it as part of my retirement. The truck has never been in an accident and to my knowledge the rear window has never been damaged.the window was a solid can be heated. It exploded so bad there is really no picture needed. All that remains of glass is what is glued down on the edges. I'm getting it repaired tomorrow. Local ford dealer service department acted like this was not their problem; one said we will fix it if your insurance will pay of it.another person said wow, that's unusual we can't help you, call ford customer service.i've seen many instances on the internet of the very same thing happening and also when the vehicle is moving.this is very dangerous.what would have happen if i had my grandchildren in their seats and that window did that.i got cut enough just cleaning up the mess.
When goimg through any automatic car wash water shoots in rear part of panoramic sunroof, ford says this si normal. It causes enough water to get in whwn it is hot or cold out to condensate on the windows.it is on rear seal of moonroof driver side.
Driving on highway at 60 mph, climbing slight incline, multiple warnings regarding hill assist, abs, traction control, etc. Populate on dash.truck goes in to "limp" mode, steering becomes stiff and speed reduces until it comes to a rough idle.
My truck odometer shows i have 26582 miles on the truck. And the engine hours shows i have 867 hours. However rusty wallace service department said i have 63000 miles according to the pcm!!! i have transmission problems and they do not want to fix the truck under warranty. I content that the truck is still under warranty i have not done anything to the odometer. I have pictures that show i was doing 72 miles a hour and on the digital speedometer but the other speedometer showed i was doing 90 miles a hour. I parked the truck and it stilled showed i was doing 20 mph. I have attached the photos.
I have a ford f150 lariat that is not 33 months old, however i have 49k miles. I had to replace my moonroof (out of warranty because of the mileage, which should have nothing to do with the moonroof). That cost me $2,155 in september 2017. On 4/17/18, my replacement made the same awful sound and is broken againthe moonroof makes a loud cracking sound like it will break.it then gets stuck open or closed, but sometimes not fully closed.you have to push it with your handwhile pushing the button sometimes to get it to seal shut in the case of rain or overnight.there is a lot of research on this and this is quite regular for ford moonroofs.they should recall and reimburse me for the $2.1k i spent.
Truck was going down road at normal speed and it lost throttle and went into limp mode. This has happened three times. When this happens we have to pull over, turn off the engine and there is a warning light little wrench then disappears. The truck goes down the road again fine. This situation is particularly dangerous when you are on a four or five wide freeway near phoenix area and it happens. Traffic is moving and when it happens you loose all speed and if your not able to get over it could be very dangerouse for the people in the vehicle along with others behind. We have been googling the problem and it appears that many others are dealing with the same situation. But when you call ford they aren't familiar or they can replace the trottle body part at around 500.00. This has gone on for years and not sure if they have every found a real solution or redesigned the part to work correctly. Could you please advise on how we should go forward. Have you had other complaints about this issue.
On 7/30/2021, i was driving and the truck shut off. If another vehicle would have been behind me, it would have hit the rear end of my vehicle. This occurred twice within minutes apart. I have not taken it to a dealer but plan to tomorrow or monday. The warning lamps that said service advancetrack, see manual with a wrench symbol, with an oil symbol and a temperature symbol under it in red, hill assist mode. The same thing occurred on 7/29/2021 twice as i was leaving work. I was going less than 15 mph. The engine coolant and over temperature also displayed.

Hood and tailgate latches are frozen. The latches are not reliable. Noticed during oil changes for hood latch and during daily use on tailgate. A similar recall for the vehicle door latches was issued in 2018 and completed. Hood and tailgate latches were not addressed. Hood latch and tailgate latch could cause obstruction while driving to myself and other vehicles.

Getting on the interstate with my daughter and wife in truck and the gas pedal is stuck, there was no where to pull over so i took the next exit and put truck in n and shut it off.this was at 4000 miles.called dealership they said they really couldn't help because there was no code.then a few months later it happened again on the highway, this time we could pull over and my wife video taped it and took back to dealership and demanded something be done.they replaced the gas pedal in hopes that it works. This happened at 8000 miles. Also the rear passenger door doesn't latch in freezing temps.the dealership couldn't find a problem so it was not fixed.
The 2-panel moon roof that came installed with the truck has malfunctioned.it is rarely used but at about 40k miles (while stationary), the glass would not close properly.after manipulation, i was able to get it closed but it will not open again.it sounds as if there was "crunching" of plastic on plastic as the roof closed.the rear edge of the front glass will tilt but not fully.i have contacted ford and they are aware that it is an issue due to inferior parts but have failed to issue a recall on the issue.i have researched the issue and have noticed that many other owners have the same complaint and some have experienced the glass shattering.
I was driving down the highway, with no cruise control on, and suddenly my sensors go off as if i was about to hit something. Then after a second (probably was only a split-second, but it felt like forever), it went away. If adaptive cruise control would have been enabled, this would have caused the brakes to automatically press (i know because this has happened to me before). This is a very dangerous issue (sensors thinking they are going to hit something, when it should be nothing). I wish i had a video of it happening, but it only has happened 3 times for at most 3 seconds in the the 1.5 years i have owned the vehicle.
When accelerating, about 90% of the time the vehicle will get warnings for "hill descent control fault" and "advance track service". When this happens, the vehicle will not accelerate anymore and starts slowing down. This has happened to me twice getting onto the interstate in the past month but luckily no vehicles were coming up behind me. This is a huge safety issue though that ford needs to recognize and fix. The dealership said they have no idea what is causing it but everyone online says that it's likely to be the steering rack. Recall the steering rack because this has apparently happened to a lot of people.
Front seat back cooling system (ted) is malfunctioning. When seat cooling is selected, after 30 minuets, 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/
I have a moon roof that has never been open. It's making a sound like something is rattling.i went to open it for the first time since i bought it to see if the noise would stop. But it wont open. I took it into ford and they said i needed to replace the whole thing.? why do i need too? ford needs to take responsibility and fix the cheap parts they tried to get by with.
2015 ford f150 purchased new, less than 6 months old while operating at highway speed, heard a loud "clunk" sound loses all power, all warning lights activate on the panel. Has occurred three times in the past week. Fortunately able to pull to the side of the road. Able to restart the vehicle. Is currently at dealership and they are attempting to identify the issue. Significant highway safety hazard.
The capless fuel cap flap is allowing air into the tsnk csusing the check engine light to come on. I knownumerousford vechicles having the same problem. I feel ford should recall these problems .
While driving on the highway at 75 mph the truck shuttered violently and the engine shut down. Immediately it flashed a warning that the "hill climb assist" malfunctioned followed immediately by a wrench symbol notifying that service was needed then another warning about the advance trac system then back to the hill climb assist symbol. All of this happening while the car behind me is almost sideways trying to avoid me. I eventually made it to the right shoulder of the highway.as i read the various warnings it said to refer to the owners manual with regards to the hill climb assist. I turned the ignition off, pulled out the owners manual only to find a description of the hill climb assist feature. After waiting for about 5 minutes i decided to turn on the ignition.the truck started without issue and i continued home cautiously in the far right lane.
At temperatures below 32 degrees fahrenheit, the door locks and lock mechanisms will intermittently freeze in an opened or closed position. At times, doors will not stay shut when attempts are made to close them from the inside; this occurs on all 4 doors. When the vehicle is in motion, the doors have opened, requiring the passenger and/or driver to physically hold the door closed. The problem has been inspected by the local ford dealer, however they stated that ford has not released a reliable remedy for the problem. Other customers had their vehicles in repair for the same reason.
2015 ford f150 supercrew door latch recall. The door latch is known to fail , ford issued a service bulletin for this issue in spring of 2016. The drivers door on my wifes 2015 f150 flew open after leaving our driveway about 150 yards from our home. Ford is aware of the issue and sent no notice to us, the door still won't close the truck has been sittin for over a week now. Ford keeps telling us we have to work with the dealer we bought it from, i asked them how i would even get the truck back there to fix when i can't shut the doors, and their answer was the same, you will have to work that out with your ford dealer.when they were asked is ford going to pay to have it towed, again they said you will have to work that out with your dealer.i may have to wait as long as 3 or more weeks before the dealer gets the parts, but the truck can not be driven.????? what am i suppose to do!???
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.
Crew cab driver side rear door lock is a safety hazard. When doors are locked the rear door lock release button is not accessible.. One is unable to unlock a locked door from the rear seat. In an accident there is no access to the unlock button in the driver's compartment
Alarm will randomly go off when car is locked. This includes the hazard lights flashing with no alarm going off. I know of two other ford owners who have the same make and model and their trucks also do this.
Exploding rear windownovember 2018 our rear sliding window exploded (shattered) for no reason while driving on the freeway. Called ford but there was no recall. After some research i see that this happened to other f150s as well.

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.
My 2015 f150 king ranch rear window glass shattered. I was driving on he interstate i20 and heard a big bang and the glass shattered and i stopped. No marks are anyone close to me while driving.it just exploded and i did not have rear defroster on.to replace is $430 plus tax.ford needs to issue a recall.
As it rain or during vehicle washings, notice that water was leaking from the a-frame trim on the driver side of the vehicle.also found that water was collecting inside of the driverside rear door between the sheet metal.unsure of how the water manage to get inside and collect between the sheet metal.i removed the door gasket and the water drained from the bottom holes that holds the door gasket anchors at the bottom of the door.collected close to a half gallon of rain water.as i was driving i could hear the water moving around in the door panel and originally assumed that it was the gas in the gas tank, however, after i opened the rear driverside door, i heard the water moving around inside the door panel.water collects when driving and when vehicle is stationary.
I was unable to open my 2015 ford f150 power doors using the key fob, door code buttons, or grip handle sensors. This was most concerning because the issue started with the rear doors; this caused my child to become stuck in the vehicle. The temperature was below freezing at this time. If i had not been able to release the door this would have been an immediate safety issues to my young children. This issue has since progressed to all doors becoming dysfunctional. My vehicle is now at the ford dealership. My vehicle was both stationary and in motion at the time of incident on city streets and freeway. If i had been in an accident and quickly needed to extract my children from the vehicle the issue of the doors not functioning and freezing could have put my and my children's well fare at extreme risk.
The door/latches when the weather is cold the doors will not open, the latches break, the locks wont go up or down and you are either locked out r locked in and cannot open the doors in case of emergency. Also- the latches don't work in cold weather so the doors will not close and they fly open while driving. My real issue is that according to the tsb ford company knew of this problem on the 2015 f150s in april of 2015 and i did not buy this truck until december of 2015! that is 8 months!! and it has happened to not only 2015s but also 2016s and 2017s! this should have been a recall. Ford is getting away with it because it only happens in cold weather months and not to every ford truck. The tsb numbers are - ford tsb 16-0155 for 2015-2017 f150 door latch & locking in cold weather and ford tsb # 15-0052: here is a link to a site where there are multiple complaints in the forum https://www.fordf150.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=123522.i have video of the doors not closing after they say they fixed it. I will put a date of occurence below, but this has happened multiple times and the truck was also fixed two times for this reason, problems still persist.
Door locks/latches.i live in canton, michigan and whenever the outside temperature drops below 32 degrees the locks fail to open and/or close.i am unable to open the door from the interior and/or exterior when this occurs.the doors locks also fail to catch when trying to close the doors and securing them.this is a extremely unsafe issue, especially if the car is involvedin a motor vehicle crash and the occupants in the vehicle need to get out.ford is telling me that the interior door hood does not properly keep water off the interior working parts of the door causing the parts to freeze and become inoperable.i am being told replacement parts are unavailable until late march 2017.this needs to be addressed and a recall ordered.this is continuing to happen to me this winter and also did during the winter months of 2015 into 2016.ford initially was adding lube to all the working parts in a attempt to keep them fromseizing up but that is not working because every time they lube the parts up within a day or two the door is malfunctioning once again.
Tail gate latch fails to latch in weather 20 degrees or lower.causing tail gate to dropunexpently while driving causing the latch to brake.
Ive had a couple issues with the door latches on my truck. When the weather gets below freezing my passenger door will not latch without messing with the door locks and slamming it several times. I just spent 15 minutes out in -4 degree weather trying to get it to close. I've had it serviced once and it still does it. In researching this issue, i also read online of other people having the same problems. Seems like a pretty big safety hazard if you live in a northern climate where it gets cold.
4wd issues. While driving -goes in and out of full time 4wd for no reason. Becomes hard to steer and often pulls to one side or another. When i want to be in 4wd-a (automatic/awd) it will not allow me to shift back out or it will stay in 4wd-h full time. Even when i come to stop it will not shift out of 4wd despite indicator saying that it has.
Turned on the rear defroster and 5 minutes later as i was parking at the grocery store parking lot the back window exploded. Loud pop noise and awful burning smell. Back glass was completely shattered.
During extreme cold the door latches freeze and can either not be opened or once opened will not latch closed. This has happened twice now. The vehicle had been sitting in the driveway overnight both times. There had not been precipitation for 24 hours prior to either event. After manually positioning the latches they would catch. On the second occasion they opened again. It was both rear doors both times. Both times the ambient temperature was in the teens with windchills below zero.
Auto start/stop causing wrench to come up. Seems like transmission has issue keeping proper fuel level to restart at red lights. Causes a hard start.also driver door does not lock and unlock with the other 3 doors.
Ford is discontinuing the safety feature sync my ford touch service which was part of the purchase agreement.this is a safety feature of the vehicle providing operator assistance, traffic alerts, turn by turn directions, and other safety related services. They are not offering a replacement or option to upgrade to the new sync 3 service.i am being cheated on what i purchased as described on the window sticker and in the owner's manual.
Failed throttle body, with trouble codesp 2112 .truck started stalling rarely while driving down the road. It would idle rough and not take gas. I would restart truck and then everything worked after. Finally after several times of this problem it kicked the code of p 2112 throttle actuator stuck closed
Adaptive cruise control occasionally causes f 150 to make an emergency stop even though there is nothing in front of truck on a clear, sunny day. The truck was doing 70-75 mph 3 times when this occurred.
I have a small hole in the exhaust system between the engine and catalytic converters.crescent ford trucks, the dealer i purchased the vehicle from, said that the hole in the exhaust system was there by design to drain water.i cannot believe that the epa would be happy with a hole from which exhaust gases can escape before they are treated by the catalytic converter.hopefully i am reporting this to the right agency
I was driving up my driveway and my rear window made a load popping sound and completely shattered. There was no impact of any kind. There is also a noticeable electrical burning smell in the cab.
Electric rear tailgate falls down randomly while driving at speed or even while parked.tailgate has fallen 5-6 times while truck is parked in last few months and also 5+ times while car is driving.it has fallen while truck was in reverse, and while truck was traveling on country roads at speeds of ~40mph. Please note - this issue seems identical to the one ford just announced a recall for on the 2017-2019 f-250 superduty trucks.it must be related.our truck was in the shop just last week before this recall was announced.this truck should be included in the recallthe tailgate most recently fell 11/28/19
This is the second time the engine just seized on me while driving in motion, on the interstate, at a high rate of speed and i would have to change the gear to keep it from stalling! this is a serious safety issue. I am taking it in for service at autonationford in sanford fl, again today!
For years ford has had a problem with the heat/ac in their pickups. The heat will stop on the passenger side and will blow nothing but cold air. This is the second f-150 that i have had with this problem. It is caused by a faulty blend door actuator. Instead of ford correcting the problem by designing a new actuator, they continue to replace the defective part with the same part that will eventually fail. This is extremely dangerous for older people or those with young children. There are numerous complaints on the various internet help pages. Ford is making a lot of money replacing this second rate part because the complete dash has to be removed just to replace the actuator. It is very expensive and some, such as me, cannot afford tp pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,000 for this repair just to have the new part fail.
A piece within the door latch mechanism may fail after exposure to extreme temperatures. If this happens, a vehicle's doors may not close properly or they may open while the vehicle is in motion. The issue should have been addressed under two prior recalls, but ford says not all faulty door latches have been properly repaired or replaced.recall was done however problem still exists.replaced door actuator on passenger side door and now driver door has issue.
Tailgate dropping on its own after driving on wet roads and also happened inside a car wash.
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.
I received a recall notice from ford telling me to bring the truck to the dealer to have the adaptive cruise control reprogrammed.i did have this work done.after the work was done i had an incident where i was passing an 18 wheeler and the truck set off the collision warning alarm and applied the brakes hard.if someone was following closely it would have been a collision.there was no traffic in my lane for at least 1/4 mile ahead.ford has not been helpful in resolving this issue and their only suggestion is to turn off the adaptive cruise control.i paid a lot of money for what i feel is an important and useful safety feature and want ford to fix the system so it will not malfunction and possibly cause a rear end collision.
Traveling north on i-85 in ga at 72 mph; about 3 miles south of exit 28. Medium rain and temp in the mid to upper 60's. The tire failed on the left rear and blessed that i could drive on the median about 225 ft. There was not any road hazards, strictly tire failure!! my wife is eye witness.
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.
Engine stalls at idle in park and at stop lights. Sometimes it's bad and sometimes not as much or can go days without doing it.
The factory/ dealer installed tow brake controller does not apply enough brake power to stop trailer. When towing my 5th wheel(10000lbs)it works fine when i manually apply the override button but when i apply the brake pedal the trailer brakes don't get the command to engage with enough power to stop trailer, my truck is doing almost all of the braking. I have read online where many ford f 150 owners are having similar issues. Ford says there is nothing wrong. I have been towing using the manual override switch or learning to slam on the brakes to stop. The trailer brakes do work almost when i slam on the brake pedal. I am sure that this shouldn't be happening because it's not safe.
Air cooled seats do not work. Bottomof 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.
While using the adaptive cruise control on my 2015 ford f-150 (king ranch), my truck will confuse a dump truck as a stopped or slow movingvehicle in front of my truck. This will happen if a dump truck is in the lane beside me or in opposing lanes. This occurs at sow and high speeds. Multiple times this has occurred at 65mph+ in traffic. The truck will very abruptly apply the breaks and the collision warning system will alert. This has almost caused very serious wrecks due to the speeds that it often occurs. This is also not a seldom occurance, it happens every time i pass by a dump truck. It will occur on any and every street. I took the vehicle to a ford delearship and their solution had no effect on the issue.
The vehicle was parked, put into park, the key was removed, then the vehicle was locked. Upon returning to the vehicle the vehicle was unlocked, the tailgate was lowered and we proceeded to load a bulky 70 (i'm guessing) pound object into the bed of the truck.as we pushed the object into the bed of the truck the vehicle started to roll.it was rolling more than just the normal few inches that a vehicle in park can sometimes roll.i jumped into the drivers seat (the door had been left ajar) and pressed the brake to stop the truck.the keys were not in the ignition, the gear shift indicated that the vehicle was in park.the extra parking brake was not being used.the parking lot was very level, there was no slope at all.once we had the object we were loading secured we pushed the truck and it was still able to be moved. We were fortunate that the object that we were loading wasn't heavy, becauseit would have been very easy to have an object drop down onto the person(s) loading.there were no injuries to anyone, there were no other vehicles damaged.we just felt that this was something that should be reported.mileage is approximate mileage was 39,824 in june ( 5 months ago)at last oil change.
The power locks on my truck to not operate properly. Some times they will not unlock and some times that will not lock. This morning i unlock the drivers door and go to the store, i get to the store and unlock the rear drivers door. I come back out of the store and only 1 door of the 4 doors would unlock, (drivers door) i reach across and open the passenger door from the inside, put the groceries and then the passenger side door will not lock.
On oct 23, 2017 my 2015 ford f150 steering locked while driving on california highway 273. Stopped truck and had to force steering wheel hard to the right to get steering to break loose. Also, all electric devices on steering wheel failed to operate. Display on dash flashed many different system failures. Unable to turn off key until steering wheel broke loose. On the morning of oct 24, 2017 all worked okay but took truck to dealer.
In early september of 2019, i was driving my2015 ford f-150 on a major highway at about 65 mph.suddenly, the vehicle stalled and lost all power as the dashboard lite up with some kind of traction warning.i drifted to the side of the road and put it in parked.the whole vehicle shook significantly at this point.i turned the vehicle off and waited about 2minutes.i started the truck up and went on my way with no problem.(note:this incident was a serious safety issue as i was on a major roadway in heavy traffic.my 10 and 8 year old grandchildren were in the back seat).a few weeks and a couple hundred miles later, i was on a narrow mountain road going about 45 mph when the exact same thing happened.i took the truck to the ford dealer after both occurrences, but they could not find anything wrong with it, and said there was nothing they could do.i'm reluctant to drive it as this situation could cause an accident.it only has 42,000miles on it and i use it to tow my travel trailer.i was not towing the trailer when these incidents occurred.i saw on your web site that several other people have had similar issues with the ford f-150.is there anything i can do about this?note that i bought the truck new in 2015 from the same dealer that i took it to for service.

Sunroof shattered while parked in our garage. The glass is bowed upward indicating the sunroof was not hit by anything from the outside. Temperate outside was in the teens.
Door latches fail to function in cold weather resulting in doors failing to latch closedalso at times doors fail to unlock in cold temperatures due to internal locking mechanisms to icing up.
Started my truck using remote start. Roughly 45-55 secs later, i get in my truck and the rear passenger area is filled with smoke. I shut off vehicle. I smelled burned electrical wires. I wasn't able to detect anything out of the norm. Roughly 5-7 mins later, my back glass shattered. Truck was stationary.
Upon walking up to my car to go to the gym i noticed that my rear window was completely shattered but in one single piece. There was no sign of impact. As soon as i opened a door the entire window collapsed. This was on a hot day and truck was not on , parked on a city street not in motion. I reached out to ford and they said they won't cover it. This happened before on the rear passenger side window.
Front seat back cooling system (ted) is malfunctioning. When seat cooling is selected, after 30 minuets, 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 advance track warning light and fuel assist start warning lit upthen the engine speed decreased to 1000 rpms and no acceloration availablethis happened on ann state highway from 70 mph dropping down to 10 mph this took over 30 days to fix. Seemed to be missed diagnosed for weeks. Mechanics unable to find problem. Parts were shipped and delayed and lost. Wiring harnesses and pcm and finally throttle body seemed to correct the problem. Mixed up because computer told mechanics one thing but really another.
Toxic fumes in cab while driving after turning on rear window defroster.pulled over, abandoned vehicle and the a low bank and the rear windows shattered
When cold, doors do not latch securely and door will appear a jar in gauge cluster as well as being a jar.in addition doors have popped open while in motion because they are not securely closed.
Rear window shattered when using defroster - remote started vehicle.vehicle was in driveway and i was right beside it when i heard the rear window make a pop sound.
During below freezing conditions drivers door will not close, will not lock or unlock. Ford has issued a technical service bulletin, tsb 15-0052, but the ford service dept. Says it does not fix the problem. Not really safe driving the truck with one arm holding the door closed for several months of the year. Ford service claims there is nothing they can do unless ford issues a recall action with a real fix.
While driving on the highway i heard a loud pop, i thought something had hit the front window but nothing. I turned to look at the back of the truck and all of the rear window was shattered (spiderwebs) . Nothing could've have hit the glass because i was driving on the highway. I took it to the dealership on a tuesday and they filed the claim with ford. Ford did not respond until 10 days later stating they would not fix it because the dealership did not find a cause for the shattered window. Wtf!!!! it shattered on its own that's the freakingcause...i called the service manager was told he would return my call and until now i haven't heard from him. I do not understand why is there no recall if there has been so many complaints, ford needs to do something about this asap!! worst service ever, last ford i ever buy!!!!
Rear window shatter after using rear defroster. Car parked. Used remote start. Window shattered upon door close after entering car.
Sadly, we feel we have purchased a lemon occasionally engine or transmission squeals/grinds, if accelerate too quickly/power up.,and now, on cold days [temps low 40s & under] hear rubbing/grinding whirring at left front tire? gets louder when depress brake, and can feel in brake pedal. Sound occurs during slow forward speed 2-40 mph, on gravel driveway or paved road. Scheduled service today for noise; they were more interested in fixing recall item [locks - rpr time 3+hrs], if they had parts in stock. Recall srvc completed [under 1 hr], and "no noise was heard." i requested further look for cause of noise, service advisor said quick lane would check suspension?. 2 hrs later, nothing seen, nothing heard, nothing repaired. As i pulled away from dealership, having signed off on service, the truck immediately began making the noise [funny serv advsr didn't hear when he brought truck around?]. I drove less than 1/10 mile back to dealership, took the service advisor for ride; at which point he acknowledged he heard noise, but tried to assure me it's a 'tire issue.' my husband and i believe otherwise - this is not tire noise, the noise never crescendos or changes pitch with increase or decrease speed, on gravel or asphalt, and we have never felt 'tire noise' in brake pedal. This noise/friction merely ceases after you've driven a few minutes [for now]. Service advisor assured me i was not doing any further damage to truck, continuing to drive it without resolution to the problem. I asked him if i needed new tires, he said indeed not, mine are in great shape [original tires] with 63,000 miles on them [but it's a tire issue?]. Something's up [similar concerns have been raised in forums on the internet- along with dealer dismissal/failure to resolve.we want our truck repaired [resolution of these mechanical failures] while it's under warranty, or we want a new vehicle.
Floored throttle to pass slower traffic on highway and engine did not return to normal rpm. Instead, the engine continued run at 4,000 rpm until i was able to bring vehicle to a stop and use key to turn off engine. Upon restarting all was normal.
Back sliding window. The track isn't properly secured to the window causing it to rattle and the window to fall out and rain come inside the truck
I was driving to work with no other cars around me when i heard a loud bang and my back window shaddered without anything hitting it. I was driving on a smooth highway that was just redone 2 years ago
My trucks tail gate latch is stuck closed and the mechanism won't work. I can't open the tail gate and it's locked shut. I use it for work daily and need access to this. I have friends who have f-150's from 2015-2017 as well and they have the problem where their tail gates either stop working and get locked shut or have been locked open and can't shut them. There are many videos on youtube and many people with the same issues on different forums talking about this problem on 2015-2017 f-150 all the up to f-350's.you can hear the mechanism trying to unlike because it's an electronic locking/unlocking system but it won't open. Too many people are replacing these actuators in the tail gate with their own money and i believe ford and it's suppliers should be resolving this issue. I use my trucks for work daily and need to get into my truck bed, but with a tonneau cover on it, i'll be locked out of my own bed, so i can't even put a cover on it to keep my tools locked up and safe. I have an old 2002 f-150 and have never had any problems with doors or the back tail gate which i still use daily on that truck also for work. Not sure why these newer trucks have such cheap or bad parts.
I was traveling at highway speeds on the roadway when i heard a bang, like a gun shot.i pulled over and discovered my rear windshield had shattered.it had been rather the cold the night before, i did have the front defrost on but not the rear defrost.i observed nothing suspicious or unusal about the back of the truck area or top of cab.further, there were no obvious holes or other markings.
I own a 2015 f150 with a very frustrating issue.it seems the door locks cease working during cold temperatures.the issue is sporadic, and affects either all doors, or some of the doors when it occurs.the first time i noticed this, was in the morning.to my surprise, my son was able to open my door without unlocking it.i recall locking it and hearing the beep the night before.i asked my son to shut the door, i clicked the lock button twice and heard the honk.i then went to open the door and it opened!my truck had been left unsecured through the night, and many other nights for all i know.i thought this may have been a fluke, so i went about my day, and did not experience this again for about a week.when i experienced this again, i was on a lunch break and i had driven to a local spot where i like to jog.when i do this, i leave my key in the truck and use the keypad feature as to avoid carrying everything with me.i pushed down the locking rod, shut the door and went on my jog.when i returned, i entered in my code, i heard an unlocking noise (turned out to just be my tailgate), but i could not open my door.i tried again, but again was unable to open my door.i tried my other doors, no luck.i was stuck without keys, wallet, phone (in my truck).i had to find a ride home to get my other key to manually unlock the door.i ended up missing the rest of work, even missed an important meeting.this last happened with my son in the back seat, where he was unable to open the door from the inside, and i was unable to open the door from outside, and this simply got my imagination running to the potential safety risk.it is now at a dealer who cannot duplicate, so no fix.this all not to mention the inch of water i had at my feet when it leaked, or the loose part in the driver door knocking around that they "cant" duplicate.major qc concern.
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.
I noticed the front passenger brake overheating. The place i bought it from agree to replace pads and rotors. That didn't fix it, took it to ford and they replaced caliper, but that didn't fix it.now its at ford again! front passenger brakeoverheating even more than before! i'm afraid to drive it with my family in it for fear of potential brake failure/fire!truck is at mullinax ford on northlake blvd in palm beach gardens florida.
Driving down the street from my house & heard a loud noise the rear window shattered
Only 53,00 miles on it .when i turn key to start it, it whirls, i turn it to off position & then it usually will go ahead & start.what can be wrong with that low mileage?
Vehicle lost power and flashed 3 warning messages. 1) hill start assist not available. 2) see manual. 3) service advance trac. In addition the service engine light stays on. All of this happened while i was making a left turn in traffic almost causing a collision. This is the second time it has happened. After first time dealer was contacted and service department reported no problems found. Appointment currently scheduled to look at it again.
Vehicle was stationary in parking lot. Truck bed illumination lights on third brake light assembly over heated and melted third brake light assembly. The lights come on when the doors are open, and there is no way to turn them off without closing the doors.
During cold temperatures our truck doors will not latch and seal. The onboard system reads the problem as an open door sending warnings.to drive, we must hold the door shut and lock it so it won't fly open.once temperatures rise during the day, the problem resolves itself.
Brake failure. Pedal went completely to the floor. Warning light indicated low fluid. Took immediately for service and it was determined that the master cylinder had failed and also brake fluid had leaked into the booster. Brake fluid reservoir was completely empty.the vehicle had been stationary for a couple of days before driving. Warning light came on after first attempt to apply brakes. Vehicle was driven to ford dealer with very minimal braking ability but not complete loss.
Ford f-150 had a recall 10/2018 for door latch actuation. Phil long ford did the recall 11/2018 however 12/2019 i had to replace the door actuator on my passenger side and now my driver side door actuator is broken as well. So whatever the recall did obviously didn't fix my door situation actually only caused the issues.

My sunroof leaks every time it rains and leaves my roof, carpet, and seats wet and smelling of mildew. I have already paid nearly $1000 to have the sunroof replaced and it still leaks.
While operating vehicle, electrical issue occurs that locks windows and turns off air conditioning.vehicle cabin becomes extremely hot very quickly.ford dealership unable to diagnose issue yet continually reoccurs.not safe to operate the vehicle until the issue can be corrected.a search of the internet revealed numerous similar issues occurring in ford trucks.
My fiance and i were driving down the highway, with no cruise control on, and suddenly my sensors go off as if i was about to hit something. Then after a second (probably was only a split-second, but it felt like forever), it went away. If adaptive cruise control would have been enabled, this would have caused the brakes to automatically press (i know because this has happened to me before). I was passing a semi, if that helps. This is a very dangerous issue (sensors thinking they are going to hit something, when it should be nothing). I wish i had a video of it happening, but it only has happened 3 times for at most 3 seconds in the the 1.5 years i have owned the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle would not start while turning the ignition switch. The vehicle was examined by an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission range sensor was faulty, and the lead frame assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 124,950.
The sync system fails to turn and/or shuts off without warning during vehicle use. The sync system includes navigation, bluetooth capabilities, radio, etc. My sync system has not worked for over 10 days now. A quick search online makes it apparent that this is a widespread issue over several different ford models and several different years.
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.
Vehicle went into limp mode 4 times one day and 3 days later 8 times.faults were hill assist, advanced track, picture of wrench came on then engine light. Limp mode is a serious accident waiting to happen as i was on a rural narrow road, had to stop vehicle put in park shut off engine. Restart engine go a ways and limp mode again. If this happened on a large freeway or at an intersection it would be a serious accident. Called dealership when it first happened they could not get me in for 8 days.
Was driving on road with 35mph speed limit, looked down at speedometer and said i was going 85, ever since the speedometer is stuck between 35 and 95, when stopped it lays at 35-40mph. Have read many others with similar issues.
I was travelling along at highway speed and suddenly the truck lost responsiveness to the accelerator pedal and went into limp mode.i had to move over to the shoulder of the road rapidly to avoid becoming a hazard to other drivers as my speed was slowing significantly.this has happened on several occasions on both surface streets and on highways/freeways.i have been told that the electronic throttle body is faulty.this fault has created a hazard for me and other drivers due to the sudden loss of power and the hazard that represents on roads with no shoulder.

Drive in the interstate i felt something tap my shoe and at the same time cruise control deactivated and thehill assist warning light come on. I then tried to accelerate and for a second there nothing happened and then acceleration came back on and it would cut out like traction control is kicking in.pulled over on to the side of the interstate and found a broken plastic pin looks like a body panel pin on the floormatt. Me being a mechanic something told me to look at my brake light to see if there being activated with no pressure on the brake pedal . The lights were on telling me that this pin had to do something with the brake pedal and the brake light switch. Once i looked under the dash, i did find that this pin came from the brake pedal and was no longer pushing on the brake switch and that's what actually cause my cruise control to shut off and traction control kick in as i were driving on innerstate. I was able to temporarily fix the issue was a body panel pin that i by lock had in my glove box from other projects and was able to get back on the road and make it home .the issue is the this original plastic piece is a certain thickness that if you replace it with a thinner piece you still have the same problem and if you get this to thick you have to push harder on the brake pedal to activate the brake lights and deactivate crouse control, and that's were it can get scary going 70 mph on the interstate and not being able to deactivate the crouse connector. So i call the local ford parts store and the issue is that this plastic pin can not be purchased by itself and that this pin has to be purchased with a $150 pedal. So i looked on the internet to see if maybe this is an issue with this vehicle and i found multiple complaints of the same issue and no recall form ford for this issue witch in my opinion it's a safety issue. 2015 f-150 with 76000 miles.
This issue has now happened 6 times without showing a pattern. While driving the vehicle completely loses all throttle power and the message center displays 'service advancetrac' 'hill start assist disabled' and the abs and service engine lights illuminate. This has happened on back roads at slower speeds and on highways at 70 mph. Again, all throttle power is lost. This issue has been reported on numerous forums and there have been 2 consensus fixes, replace throttle body and an apparent issue with the tightness of a throttle cable.
I was driving my 2015 f-150 on a city street at 35 mph when suddenly my truck lost all acceleration power and began to shake violently. The engine continued to shake and sputter as i brought the vehicle to a stop. The service engine light came on along with two codes to 'service advancetrac' and 'hill decent control fault'. I turned the vehicle off, then restarted. It seemed to take longer to crank, but it started and i proceeded down the road. Each time the vehicle would reach 35 mph the same sequence would occur with the vehicle shaking violently and losing all acceleration power along with the service codes flashing. I researched my problem and read story after story on the internet of others who owned 2015 f-150's with the same exact issue happening. I even found a recall ford issued: 16b32 for a defective throttle body, but was told at my local ford service center that although the identical thing happened with others, my truck was not listed under that recall. I had to pay $500 out of pocket for them to replace my defective throttle body plus labor costs. This seems to be a common issue with these 2015 trucks. I would like to see something done to include more trucks like mine with similar issues into that recall. I should not have been responsible for paying almost $500 to get this problem fixed. I'm just glad i wasn't on the highway or pulling my camper trailer. It's just a matter of time before someone is killed or badly injured because of this problem! please do something about it before this happens!
The truck is equipped with adaptive cruise control and collision alert systems.intermittently, when traveling at interstate speeds with the adaptive cruise control activated and passing tractor-trailer sized vehicles, the adaptive cruise control will falsely sense another vehicle directly in front and activate the brake system, resulting in rapid deceleration of the truck and creating the potential for a collision from behind.when the system activates, there are no other vehicles in front of the truck, only in the adjacent lane.this has happened over half a dozen times, and has resulted in near rear-end collisions from vehicles behind the truck because of how rapidly the adaptive cruise control slows the truck.passengers in the truck have been thrown into their seatbelts from the rapid deceleration of the truck. Luckily no one has been hurt, but this presents an extreme safety problem and has resulted in having to turn off the adaptive cruise control and collision alert systems.ford has not successfully created a fix for the problem.this problem has been well documented at http://www.f150forum.com/f118/adaptive-cruise-malfunctions-scary-299485/.
2015 ford f-150 ecoboost, bought april 2018 with approx. 67,000 miles, currently at approx. 75,000 miles.i am reporting the sudden loss of accelerating power as the vehicle shudders and stalls both when moving with traffic or accelerating to enter or move with traffic. Multiple warning messages including the wrench light flash in the dash message area as the engine slows to idle with no ability to accelerate and comes to a stuttering stop. The first occurrence was three weeks ago and has happened no less than six time since - twice while accelerating onto the freeway (very busy, very fast traffic) and twice while crossing or turning in multi-lane intersections from stopped. Four of the six times resulted in my vehicle dying in and obstructing traffic with and me barely getting to the side of the road without an accident. I now shift to neutral to let momentum move the vehicle as i worm through traffic to the side of the road.shutting off and restarting the engine clears or resets the message and sometimes "downhill assist not available" with the check engine light comes on. The check engine light has both stayed on or shut off on restart. I can then drive on the vehicle's own power, though the problem has repeated as soon as two minutes later, or not for days. I have not had to be towed and no accidents have occurred. The north carolina consumer's council filed a lawsuit against ford in 2015 which was settled with ford offering an extended warranty only on the etb (electronic throttle body) of certain model vehicles - all with the ecoboost engine, and multiple customer service actions (csa's) that have since expired. A few minutes on the ford forums online and it is apparent that this is a widespread problem with the ecoboost engine, and ford has offered several bandaids, but none until after the etb has failed and lives been endangered.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 30 mph, the vehicle stalled and failed to accelerate. The contact stated that the failure also occurred while driving 60 mph. The vehicle was taken to jim bass ford (4032 w houston harte expy, san angelo, tx 76901, (325) 949-4621) where it was diagnosed that the failure was due to the throttle body. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 70,300.
Driving down the road today being mindful of the speed limit since i just got a speeding ticket two weeks prior. I looked at the speedometer and it read 62. I know the difference i speed variation just from driver feeling and experience. Well i applied the brakes and the speedometer did not move. When i reached my destination i put the car in park and noticed my speedometer was frozen at 40 mph. So now according to the trucks brain 40 mph = 0 mph
My fiance and i were driving down the highway, with no cruise control on, and suddenly my sensors go off as if i was about to hit something. Then after a second (probably was only a split-second, but it felt like forever), it went away. If adaptive cruise control would have been enabled, this would have caused the brakes to automatically press (i know because this has happened to me before). I was passing a semi, if that helps. This is a very dangerous issue (sensors thinking they are going to hit something, when it should be nothing). I wish i had a video of it happening, but it only has happened 3 times for at most 3 seconds in the the 1.5 years i have owned the vehicle.
Speedometer reads 15 mph when parked and 15 mph more than actual while vehicle is in motion.
At times my 2015 f150 loses all power and go to a low power/ "limp mode" setting.cautions received are (1) service advance trac, (2) hill descent control fault, (3) hill start assist not avail, (4) traaction control fault light.when this occurs, the vehicle goes to a very low forward power setting (<5mph), runs extremely rough to the point where the vehicle shakes aggressively.this problem is intermittent in nature, and yesterday was the final straw.this suddent oss of power occurred on a busy road and i nearly got rear ended.i immediately limped off the road and was able to get the vehicle towed to the dealership in castle rock, co.currently i'm standing by for the mechanics diagnosis.of note, i do see several similar write-ups of this problem on the nhtsa site regarding the 2015 f150.ironically, a similar occurrence (ref. Nhstsa id#11083485)happened right up the road from me in castle rock, co (4/5/18).i hope ford is aware of this extremely dangerous, recurring problem within its f150 fleet.
Less than 5 years old and only 82,000 miles on my 2015 f150, the vehicle is inoperable because of an electrical issue between the gas pedal and throttle body. This has left me stranded on the side of the road with my 6 week old baby in the back seat. Doing research, it appears to be a known issue with 2015 f150s and is causing major safety concerns, but yet no recall. When driving, the vehicle suddenly loses power and slows to a complete stop on the road. Warning lights illuminate the dash and vehicle is inoperable, leaving us on the side of the road.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving unknown speeds, the vehicle stalled. When the vehicle was restarted, it operated normally. The failure occurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to billion auto ford of clear lake (3101 willow creek ct, clear lake, ia 50428, (641) 903-2299) where it was diagnosed that the throttle body and motor assembly failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 84,129.
The electronic throttle body failed prematurely on my ford f150, causing the vehicle to lose the ability to accelerate and subsequently go into limp mode while traveling at normal speeds (has happened 4 times between 35 and 50 mph).this causes a very dangerous situation trying to get out of traffic and to the side of the road, as well as potential loss of control and handling.a ford dealer attempted to diagnose the problem after 3 incidents, but was unsuccessful and told me the problem may be the throttle body (but they did not replace it).
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-350. The contact stated that while driving 70 mph, the vehicle shakes and was uncontrollable. The contact had to slow the vehicle to 30 mph. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer rowe westbrook (91 main st, westbrook, me 04092, (207) 854-2555) where it was diagnosed that the sway bar needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 24,856.
While the cruise is set and traveling on the interstate, in this case 70mph, when i pass an 18 wheeler the adaptive cruise control senses an imminent collision while passing the 18 wheeler in the left travel lane.the adaptive cruise immediately alerts and engages the brakes.fortunately, this has not yet resulted in a rear end collision in my case however i'm sure at some point it will with owners of these vehicles.this has happened twice since i purchased the f150 in january(2015) and both occurrences happened while passing a tanker truck specifically and while in the left lane- tanker truck was in the right lane traveling at a slower speed perhaps around 60-65mph.this defect to me appears to be very dangerous because if my f150 engages the brakes for no reason and there were to be cars behind me a rear end accident could likely occur on the interstate.ford has been very slow in responding to this safety concern and has not came up with a fix for this issue.many on internet are voicing concern however are told by dealers that the system is functioning as designed and sent on their way.
I own a 2015 ford f150. I was driving at 60 mph, the vehicle abruptly decelerated. The wrench and limp mode warning lights illuminated while the failure code p2112 occurred. I had to coast my vehicle on to the road shoulder and restart the engine. I had to stop and restart numerous times before i could make it home,off of a busy highway. When it stalled on me the next day,i had the vehicle towed to the dealer and paid for a diagnostic that located a failure code at the throttle body.
While trying to pass a dump truck on the interstate with adaptive cruise on, vehicle slammed on the brakes, and causing the vehicle behind me to slam on theirs to avoid hitting me.. I noticed that there had been a recall for this before in 2015, but i never received any notice of this.. It is a very serious road hazard!!
While driving my 2015 ford f150 on a city street at 45 miles per hour the vehicle lost acceleration, rmp dropped to barely 2 and hill assist disabled light came on.glided to a red light, put the vehicle in neutral, came to a stop and kept the gas lightly pressed hoping to keep power to the engine. When lighted turned green put truck back into drive and acceleration returned. Parked at my place of business. Shut the truck off but the brake lights stayed on. Had the vehicle towed to the dealership because of concern to drive it after losing acceleration (tow truck driver call the vehicle in limp mode). The dealership found not fault codes but did find plastic pieces on the floor board. Dealership said it was a "broken brake pedal" - a small plastic disc (grommet) inside the brake assembly broke into pieces causing loss f acceleration, the electronic messaging system to disable hill assist andthe brake lights to remain on. Dealership said they have seen this in ford fusions but not in an f150. The new brake assembly is a total redesign from the the one that the vehicle was built with. The image on the left is the broken brake assemble (the finger is pointing to the damaged item), the part on the right where you will see the small white disc (grommet) is the replacement brake assembly. I purchased the vehicle new in 2015 and have been the only owner. My vehicle has 54k miles, is driven locally, not used to tow or off road and is garaged when not in use. A vehicle loosing acceleration while driving is a major safely concern and i hope this will be investigated as it is a known issue in other ford vehicles.
Cruise control shuts off during operation. Intermittently will not turn on.analog speedometer will indicate speeds in excess of 40mph slower than real speed. Stuck at 40mph when comes to complete stop.
My adaptive cruise control system has been updated according to the recall that was issued but i still have the same issue with the truck slamming on the brakes when passing a semi-truck.
This is the second time the engine just seized on me while driving in motion, on the interstate, at a high rate of speed and i would have to change the gear to keep it from stalling! this is a serious safety issue. I am taking it in for service at autonationford in sanford fl, again today!
Adaptive cruise control sensor and braking activate in error when there is a large truck on the side of the vehicle.vehicle will hard brakes as it thinks the car in front has stopped when there is no car in front of you. It is falsely seeing the truck in the other lane to your side.i had it into ford for another issue and told them.they said there was "an update" but it is still doing the same thing. This is dangerous as the vehicle slams on the brakes by itself almost causing cars behind you to hit you.the vehicle should not hard brake due to a truck on the side of the car!.just today my car did it twice on the highway.once this morning and again on the drive home. I am driving at highway speeds, clear day, i'm in my lane and passing a slower truck on my right and the adaptive cruise braking slams on the brakes.it is intermittent and i'm not sure why its reacting to a large truck that is not in front of me.while it didn't result in a "crash"it could have if the person behind me hadn't been paying attention.this is a serious defect!!

I would like to highlight safety concern on ford f-150 intake throttle failures. I believe there has been a recall on this part for a different s/n range of ford f-150. This vin was not in the list. When this fails, you lose all power and truck goes into neutral. Was towing loaded trailer in 4 lanes of high speed interstate city driving. Almost was in serious accident. Ford customer service did nothing or indicate that they were going to look at s/n range impacted.i am a chief engineer at caterpillar. I understand the business of effective s/n and what is included in mandatory recalls. Their lack of action is a concern.
While driving on the highway using the adaptive cruise control, the vehicle may falsely detects an obstacle in its path and may unexpectedly apply the brakes.this issue has been addressed by nhtsa campaign number: 15v-614, but my vehicle was not part of the recall.i believe my (and perhaps other peoples) vehicle should have been included in the campaign.
When i started the car, put it in drive, the truck went to full throttle on its own without touching the accelerator, and it took off at an excessive speed.i tried braking, but it just threw me into a power slide.so, once i was finally able to straighten the car without flipping it, i could turn loose with one hand and kill the engine.that's the only way it would stop.i was forced to go through the yard with things flying out of the bed of the truck ruining a 5 gallon can of paint we had mixed to paint the inside of the house.i am a professional truck driver, and this scared the death out of me.
While accelerating onto the freeway from the on-ramp, all throttle control went away and the truck started decelerating along with warning lamps turning on the driver display panel.steep hill descent fault, sensortrac fault.had to pull coast over to the shoulder under rough idle and turn off the vehicle ignition.after cycling the ignition, the throttle control came back.this has happened at least 5 times now during the last week or so.after a google search online, i have found that this seems to be a very common occurance with ford f-150's and seems to be related to the electronic throttle body controller.ford has tsb 16-0139 documenting the issue
On 2-24-2021 these two things had never happened before 1. I noticed when arrived to work the p for the gear selector stayed illuminated after vehicle is shut off.a co-worker pointed this out alsothis had never happened before 2. While in a parking space on side of cvsdrug store no other cars near after starting the vehicle and putting into reverse the vehicle accelerated on its own while applying brake didn't stop hit a cement pole barrier, truck kept trying to jerk backwards after 2-3 seconds it stopped shifted vehicle from reverse to drive to move back into parking space vehicle accelerated on its own; quickly shifted from drive to park vehicle continue to move forward while brake pedal applied and hit a tree and truck turned off if not for tree would have went down embankment on to a freeway

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.
Jan. 13, 2016 while traveling south on route 17, in north carolina towards raleigh, the sipped limit was 70 mph. I looked down and noticed i was moving at 80 mph, based on the dash speedometer. When i let off the gas pedal, the truck slowed down but the speedometer remained at 80 mph. I changed my digital setting from fuel economy to digital mph and noticed this mode seemed to be accurate, however the dash speedometer remained at 80 mph. My wife took a video of the problem with her phone. By the time we arrived in raleigh, nc, the dash mounted speedometer was close to 100 mph. We parked for several hours while attending a meeting with the senator. On the way home and heading back north on route 17, the speedometer started dropping back. By the time we got home, the speedometer was only off by approximately 5 mph compared to thedigital speedometer. Parked the truck in the garage over night. When using the truck the following day, the speedometer seemed to matched up again. Dealer replaced the entire instrument cluster in order to correct the issue.
The adaptive cruise control sometimes thinks there is a vehicle in front of me when there is not and aggressively applies braking
I received a recall notice, 15s29, to reprogram my f-150's control system to correct an adaptive cruse control issue. I had this recall work performed by my ford dealership in march, 2017. I was on a road trip this week (4-4-2017) and was traveling on the i-35 interstate at 75 mph passing a semi. About half way passed the semi the brakes were suddenly applied and the warning flasher (on the windshield) activated. I thought this was fixed!! thankfully the vehicle behind me was able to brake to avoid a rear collision. Is there still an issue with this? if so when will it be fixed?
P2112 obd error code - throttle body closed - while driving at any speed - in this case on the highway - engine would drop to limp mode, various errors display on dash. Have to pull over, shut off engine, then restart itto reset. Know issue with numerous ford f150 ecoboost and mustang gas engines. This is very dangerous especially if i cannot pull off to the side to shut off the motor. Very high possibility of getting rear-ended by other fast moving cars potentially causing harm to driver and others.
Adaptive cruise control was set and engaged on vehicle at 75 mph.my vehicle was traveling on inside lane of four lane divided highway and came up on slightly slower vehicle traveling in the same lane at around 70 mph.my vehicle slowed down and tracked the other vehicle for about a mile before coming up on a slower moving tractor trailer truck in the outside lane. As the vehicle in front on my truck passed the tractor trailer on the inside lane, it moved over in front of the tractor trailer to the outside lane to allow me to pass.instead on speeding up to 75 mph, my truck started to brake before i disengaged the cruise control (around 65 mph).at that time, i was located beside the tractor trailer near the back of the trailer.a vehicle following me had to brake due my truck unexpected braking and slow down.
Driving on the inside lane on a straight road with no vehicles in front of me. Halfway past passing a medium size box truck in the outside lane my truck flashed collision avoidance and slammed on the brakes for one second. It immediately released and sped up to where i had the cruise previously set at 65 mph.ford dealer said they applied the factory computer reset 30 months earlier while owned by the original buyer. Recall # 15s29. Dealer said he could do nothing more.
Vehicle brakes suddenly when on adaptive cruise control, particularly near semis hauling containers.vehicle was recalled for this previously and still exhibits unsafe braking at highway speeds.
On friday 10/28 while driving down the interstate at about 55 miles/hour at approximately 6:30pm with vehicles ahead of and behind my truck, the vehicle began to give a number of check engine alerts, at which time the engine rpms dropped to very low levels and began to stall and the accelerator no longer responded.had truck towed to the nearest dealership within the hour.i was very lucky in this situation, for had i been in a construction area or on a bridge, the situation could have been much worse.this same situation occurred on the evening of 10/2 while driving 40mph down a state road near my home and according to the dealer who attended to the issue, the brake module had failed which caused the symptoms to arise.in that instance, the accelerate failed to respond and the engine began to stall, which it did when i pulled to the side of the road.they replaced the module a few days later.in addition, the driver side door vibrates and does not latch properly.two dealers have failed to resolve this issue to date and i believe it is a safety concern that has largely been dismissed by the service technicians and dealerships involved.despite numerous documented attempts to resolve this issue with ford customer service, they have ignored this concern, have failed to respond to me in a timely manner, and declined a buyback request.i am submitting lemon law documentation for the vehicle during the week of october 31.i have spent hundreds of dollars on rental vehicles during attempted repairs to the doors and the brake module since ford claims they will not cover the cost of rental vehicles during warranty repairs.repair documentation attached pertains to repairs for 10/2 occurrence since the dealership has not yet had an opportunity to inspect my vehicle since it was dropped off yesterday evening.i will gladly provide info once received.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle lost acceleration and lunged forward. In addition, the traction control and hillside assist warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road and was restarted. Tamiami ford (1471 airport-pulling rd, naples, fl 34104, (239) 643-3673) repaired the electric throttle body. The vehicle was repaired. The diagnosis information was unavailable. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 38,000.
While accelerating the vehicle to get to 55 mph the engine suddenly lost throttle response and began to run rough. Simultaneously the dash flashed that uphill assist was deactivated and flashed the maintenance wrench. Upon pulling the vehicle over and shutting it off and restarting it the vehicle ran normally. The frequency of this increased from once every couple of weeks to now up to 5 times in 10 miles. When it causes an obd code it is p2112. It occurs most frequently while accelerating to highway speeds but has also occurred while at highway speed and accelerating to village speeds of 30 mph. It has even occurred once while using cruise control as the vehicle was climbing a hill. At this time it is unknown what is causing the fault. An attempt has been made to clean the throttle body and the problem persists. A new throttle body is on order but has to be installed yet to see if it corrects the issue.
My girlfriend and i were driving down the highway on a sunny day at around 70 mph. I was using adaptive cruise control. There were other cars on the road, but none within distance to affect my speed/cruise control (they were all way ahead or behind). All of a sudden, for about a half second, my truck flashed the warning light and sound as if i was going to hit something, and it automatically pressed the brake for me. It was very scary and dangerous. Then it came out of the warning and we continued on our way (we were in a bit of shock). I of course turned off the adaptive cruise control so the vehicle was under my complete control. Thinking back, i'm wondering if the shadow from an overpass caused my truck to think there was a vehicle close and an impending crash. Either way, it was very unsafe, and i'm hoping it doesn't happen again to me, or anyone else.
While in motion and on the freeway there is power loss, shaking, engine sputtering and barely has enough power to get off the road, hill start assist disabled, decent control disabled, service wrench indicator, service advance trac.i powered off the truck, waiting 10 seconds and it starts and runs fine until it does it again.
When driving at night in the far left lane going 72 mph with the adaptive cruise control on, the truck randomly slammed on the brakes and the red crash indicator flashed although there was nothing in front of the truck.if someone was behind me, it is likely they would have rear ended my vehicle. There seems to be a defect in the auto cruise control,although ford believes this behavior is normal.
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.
2015 f-150 3.5l ecoboost driving on highway at speeds 60-75mph went to "limp mode" losing all acceleration with warnings "service advance trac" "hill descent control fault" and "hill start assist not available" along with the service wrench light. Resulted having to pull over on interstate 10 with busy traffic, also while in the middle of a traffic light turning left. This has happened 6 times. Ford dealer has diagnosed this as a throttle body issue and will be replaced at my cost
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration and the accelerator pedal erroneously depressed to the floorboard. The cruise control was not operating at the time of the failure. When the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle continued to accelerate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not duplicated. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 72,000.
Truck fault code flashes and truck shuts down into safe mode. Three times it occurred while driving on freeway at 70 mph and the fourth time it happened in an a side road doing 35 mph. Every time the same thing happened, the truck shut down in safe mode showing fault codes. I would stop, it would idle very rough, i was not able to move it as it would not rev or let me increase rpm. I would have to shut off truck, turn it back on, it would reset and drive like normal. Tookto courtesy ford four times to diagnose and they could not find anything, i bought a code ready and the truck went into fault code and safety mode again, the code read p2112. Ford found tsb 16-0139 applied and replaced throttle body and charged me $496.95 for repair. 2015 ford f150 with 58k miles.
Driving on highway at 60 mph, climbing slight incline, multiple warnings regarding hill assist, abs, traction control, etc. Populate on dash.truck goes in to "limp" mode, steering becomes stiff and speed reduces until it comes to a rough idle.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle suddenly decelerated and would not gain speed when the accelerator pedal was depressed. During the failure, the messages and warning indicators for the hill start not available, traction control, and check engine displayed and illuminated. After shutting the engine off and back on, the vehicle operated normally; however, the failure recurred two days later. The vehicle was taken to jemmims anderson ford in boerne, tx where it was diagnosed that the throttle body was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 47,000.
While driving vehicle on highway and going to pass another vehicle when passing all of a sudden the vehicle will go from 70 mph and drop to around 40 mph with out no indication it's going to do this. Now this vehicle will do this anytime on highway you don't have to be passing anyone.
While driving on highway at 55 mph (6th gear), vehicle suddenly downshifted to 1st gear.the engine's rpms revved as the vehicle began to decelerate hard, resulting in the passengers experiencing a sudden jerk of their neck and body.the accelerator pedal had no response.after approximately 5 seconds i regained response from the accelerator and the vehicle began to upshift.a few moments later, the whole experience repeated with the vehicle downshifting to 1st.this repeated a third time.the incident caused several near-misses as we lost power at highway speed and began a rapid deceleration without notice.
This is the fourth time i'm reporting this. Although my vehicle should have qualified for ford's recall 15s29, i was never notified. But i have mentioned it to my dealer 3 or 4 different times. They always tell me there's nothing they can do. So here's the issue. When driving on the highway, my truck thinks i'm going to hit something and the alert lights and sounds come on (and once since i had adaptive cruise control on, it applied the brakes at 70 mph). This is not safe. The dealerships say there is nothing they can do to fix my truck, yet the issue keeps happening.
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.
While using adaptive cruise control the car will inexplicably break when it sees shadows in the road.usually happening while traveling under a bridge on highway. Car will drop speed from 70 mph to approximately 40 mph with sudden breaking?
While driving - complete shut down of vehicle - loss of steering and acceleration. System warning says advance trac warning and shows a picture of a wrench. Stopped the vehicle - restarted and continued to happen. Very dangerous as it happened while driving - had to coast to the side of the road.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While the cruise control was activated, the vehicle braked abruptly. The collision warning indicator illuminated and a chiming sound was heard. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (watertown ford located at 1600 9th ave se watertown, sd 57201) where it was diagnosed, but not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened case number: 12350340. The failure mileage was 19,200.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle stalled and the engine would not restart. The contact attempted to restart the engine; however, the vehicle began shaking and would not stop. Also, 'hill descent control fault' and 'service advancetrac" appeared on the instrument panel. The vehicle was towed to paducah ford (3476 park ave, paducah, ky 42001, (270) 444-0011) where it was diagnosed that a new throttle body needed to be installed. The contact planned to have the vehicle repaired this week. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was 104,000.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving 50 mph with the cruise control activated, the steering wheel seized without warning. The contact attempted to depress the brake pedal however, the vehicle was difficult to stop. The contact stated after driving over a bump in the road, the contact was able to turn the steering wheel and depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle on the side of the road. The contact stated the air bag warning light was illuminated. The contact continued driving to his destination. After driving 30 miles, the air bag warning light turned off independently. The contact stated while exiting the vehicle he started to smell electrical fumes. The vehicle was taken to joe hall ford located at 1617 21st st, lewiston, id 83501, (208) 746-2391, and the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 20v332000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer had been informed of failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.
While using adaptive cruise control mode at highway speeds both day and night my vehicles forward collision avoidance system has mistakenly applied the brakes suddenly reducing the vehicle speed abruptly.night time instance was going under a expressway overpass center lane no other vehicles in area.day time in hov lane and moderate traffic flow but no one within ten car lengths.only 1000 miles on vehicle.i have deactivated the adaptive cruise control in vehicle settings.vehicle just outside of production date of recall.two purchased new 7/28/2016.to be reported to dealer.
My 2015 f150 ecoboost has 79,156 miles on it. Over the past 3 days the truck has repeatedly lost power while driving in traffic on the highway. The rpm will drop down to 500 rpm, rough idle, no acceleration at all, hill assist light wrench light check engine light passenger air bag light and see owners manual pop up on the instrument panel. Took my truck into ford today and they replaced the throttle body under my extende warranty not their emissions warranty as stated in their owners manual of 8 years or 80,000 miles.called ford and they don't know about an emissions warranty in their owners manual. Looked online and youtube to discover this problem is not just me and frequent with others. This can really cause a horrible accident. Luckily i'm a cdl driver and was able to safely get over on the shoulder this time. I'm not confident replacing the throttle body was a fix as it is a bandage to happen again at any point in time. This truck now is compromised and i wouldn't want any of my family using it or depending on it.
The adaptive cruise control was updated when the recall was issued but still exhibits the problem of slamming on the brakes when passing a semi. The problem is actually getting worse, and happens more frequently. It now happens when going under a bridge. I have had it to 2 different dealers and contacted ford and they all tell me that there are no computer error codes therefore it didn't happen. They also tell me that there is no recall because i already had the recall service performed. This truck is not safe, it will kill me or whoever is unlucky enough to be following me. Ford doesn't seem to care because they have already performed the recall service.
I picked up my 2015 ford f150 on thursday of last week because the master cylinder was leaking and caused my wife to lose her brakes while driving on the highway. I drove my truck to our family reunion about an hour and half away on saturday which was 2 days after i had picked my truck up and the cruise control would not shut off by taping the brake. My wife and i were traveling on a highway and i was in the slow lane with the cruise set at 72mph. I was approaching the vehicle in front of me, so i looked in my left mirror and noticed a car coming up beside me. I was unable to pass, so i touched the brakes to disengagethe cruise control and i looked back in my mirror again to see if the car beside me was going to pass me soon. My wife then said what are you doing? i told her i am going to pass this car in front of us after the car beside me passed us. She then said well you better slow down because you are about to hit the car in front of us. Here my cruise control never disengaged so i touched the brakes 2 more times and nothing happened. I finally had to slam on the breaks and it finally disengaged. I had almost rear ended the car in front of us. I then got into the fast lane and placed the cruise control on again and found out that i was unable to disengage the cruise control by tapping the brakes like you should. I had to push the brake pedal 2/3 of the way to the floor which at this point you are stopping on the highway. This is the third safety issue in less than 1 year that almost caused an accident and that it has been towed to ford. My truck is currently at ford.dec 2018 throttle body went bad and shut off with my wife driving my truck, sept 2019 master cylinder went bad and caused my wife to lose the brakes while on the highway, and sept 2019 cruise control not working properly almost causing an accident.
My truck odometer shows i have 26582 miles on the truck. And the engine hours shows i have 867 hours. However rusty wallace service department said i have 63000 miles according to the pcm!!! i have transmission problems and they do not want to fix the truck under warranty. I content that the truck is still under warranty i have not done anything to the odometer. I have pictures that show i was doing 72 miles a hour and on the digital speedometer but the other speedometer showed i was doing 90 miles a hour. I parked the truck and it stilled showed i was doing 20 mph. I have attached the photos.
Adaptive cruise control periodically detects a truck in the right as being in front of me.it activates the brakes to avoid a assumed collision even though the lane is clear ahead.the brakes have, on occasion, be applied automatically in a very strong manner.i am afraid that this condition can lead to someone rear ending my truck.the dealer could not confirm any issues, however it has happened own occasion since new.
While on open freeway with adaptive cruise set at 70mph passed a semi truck the brakes were applied violently.this occured 3 separate times.
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.
Adaptive cuisse controlfalsely detects potential collision when passing semitruck (18-wheeler) on interstate/freeway highways as speed of 70mhp. The brakes are automatically applied and collision warning message goes off in the dashboard center screen.this happens very frequently when passing semitruck, to the point that i either disable the cruise or get ready to punch the accelerator in order to prevent a rear-end accident in case someone behind me.
This is a work truck driven by several people.vehicle will sometimes keep accelerating without pedal being depressed.also will not disengage cruise control.have to shift to neutral and wait a few seconds for engine rpm to lower.check engine light doesn't come on.has been to ford dealer on 12/05/16 and 12/20/16-1/10/17.they said they couldn't replicate problem.
Alert - alerti wrote before about trouble with the 2015 ford f150 stalling out while driving.i mechanic took ours out for a test drive and it did the same for him on the interstate.please have someone address this issue before someone dies or has severe injuries due to vehicle stalling at random and for no apparent reason.i am just glad he wasn't passing on a 2 lane road or pulling a trailer.i can't believe ford has not addressed this - it's on you tube.this is the opposite of speeding up - imagine you have your kids, etc in the truck, in the middle of a major interstate with cars all around you and you stall out completely. Please, please do something about this.it only happens in motion.
When using the adaptive cruise control (acc) and passing alongside a semi-truck in the left lane, the system mistakenly detects something that causes it to slam on the brakes and set off the crash warning system.a couple of seconds later it accelerated back to your original speed setting. Brought the truck to 2 ford dealerships and 1 just set the sensitivity level to low and the other one did an update to the control module.neither of these has worked and the truck continues to do this. I called the dealership and they said they have no other direction from ford on how to resolve this issue.this has happened over a dozen times since i have owned the vehicle and it is just a matter of time before this will cause a major accident especially when i have vehicles following behind me alongside a semi.
There is an existing adaptive cruise control safety recall open for this year, make, and model, but my truck also experiences the exact same issues described by ford on their own site every time i use the adaptive cruise control: https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2015/09/30/ford-issues-five-safety-recalls-and-one-safety-compliance-recall.htmli'm sure that the existing safety recall needs to be expanded to additional vins within the f-150 range of vehicles. It is extremely dangerous in the way it currently operates.
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.
The contact's husband owned a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that her husband had exited her vehicle to park his ford f-150 into their driveway. Upon start of the vehicle, the contact's husband lost complete control of the vehicle and clipped the side of her vehicle and crashed into a retainer wall. The contact's husband stated that the vehicle independently took off as the brakes failed to operate while being depressed. The contact was unaware if any warning lights illuminated prior to the failure. The air bags failed to deploy upon impact. Upon exiting the vehicle, the contact's husband was covered in blood and the contact had a knot on the back of her head while in her vehicle. The contact immediately cleaned off her husband for cuts on both his legs and arms. The contact's husband was later treated at a hospital for a broken back and ribs. A police report was filed as a result of the accident. The vehicle wastowed to fiesta ford, inc.(78990 varner rd, indio, ca 92203) where the vehicle was deemed totaled. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and they offered no assistance with the failure. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 20v332000(service brakes, hydraulic); however, the vehicle was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000. *dt
On july 24, 2020 while driving on interstate 291 driving 45-50mph with heavy traffic, with absolutely no warning there was a loud explosion.i thought i was rear ended. Simultaneously the rear tires locked up while approaching a work zone.i skidded uncontrollably for approximately 100 feet. Ultimately came to rest on the shoulder. As my family and i exited the vehicle there was heavy smoke coming from the rear and underside of the vehicle.we thought the vehicle was on fire.the state police arrived on the scene within 5 minutes upon us exiting the vehicle.the transmission wouldn't go into gear so the vehicle had to be flat bedded to the nearest dealership, marcotte ford, holyoke ma. Was told by the dealership the rear end failed and locked up.upon their test drive i was told there was a total failure with the transmission.they said they had to wait for a decision from ford to either rebuild or replace the transmission. August 19, 2020 i was notified that the transmission was rebuilt and that i could pick up the vehicle.i did not receive any prior phone calls from themto inform me of what was going to be done to correct the situation..
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving 80 mph, the vehicle shook violently and lost power. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the electronic throttle body failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was then taken to team ford lincoln (5445 drexel rd, las vegas, nv 89130) where the diagnosis was confirmed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the contact should keep his receipts in case of potential reimbursement. The approximate failure mileage was 79,000.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at 70 mph, the vehicle abruptly decelerated. The wrench and limp mode warning lights illuminated while the failure occurred. The contact was able to coast on to the road shoulder and restarted the engine however; the vehicle did not regain acceleration. The vehicle was towed to the dealer whom performed a diagnostic that located a failure code at the throttle body. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 76,000.
While using the adaptive cruise control, the vehicle falsely detects an obstacle in its path and unexpectedly applies the brakes.
While driving my 2015 ford f-150 pickup truck at different speeds of 5 to 70 mph the vehicles throttle becomes inoperable. When this occurs the engine continues to run at a low idle however it is a very rough idle as if the engine has a severe ignition misfire condition. Furthermore, the dash starts to cycle through multiple fault/trouble displays. These include "hill descent control fault", "service advance track", "see manual (w/ wrench symbol)"; also the airbag light is illuminated. When this occurs i have to coast to the side of the freeway or busy city street bringing the vehicle to a stop. Once stopped, with emergency flashers on, i have to turn the ignition off and restart the vehicle. In some instances i've had to restart the vehicle more than once to successfully achieve a smooth running engine. I must then press the "ok" button on the steering wheel to stop the dash from displaying the fault/trouble messages. I can then drive on with an operable throttle and properly running engine. This condition has happened multiple times at various speeds without warning and presents a potentially dangerous driving condition!
The advance track warning light and fuel assist start warning lit upthen the engine speed decreased to 1000 rpms and no acceloration availablethis happened on ann state highway from 70 mph dropping down to 10 mph this took over 30 days to fix. Seemed to be missed diagnosed for weeks. Mechanics unable to find problem. Parts were shipped and delayed and lost. Wiring harnesses and pcm and finally throttle body seemed to correct the problem. Mixed up because computer told mechanics one thing but really another.
Truck goes into limp mode constant in middle of traffic. Severe safety hazard for all. Throws throttle body code. According to dealer its not covered in yhe recall or whatever ford called it but its gonna get us killed.
Multiple incidents have occurred where adaptive cruise control applies hard deceleration to the vehicle while at highway speeds without warning or without an object in front of the vehicle. Approx travel speed has been 65mph and vehicle collision warning comes on and instantly brakes causing a 10mph or more deceleration. It has happened on curves or when driving near a truck. Recent incident was moving from right lane to the left lane of a highway to pass a truck and another vehicle was following mine. As i approached the tractor portion of the tractor/trailer, my truck braked hard and the vehicle behind me nearly crashed into the back of my vehicle. The other driver wasn't expecting me to brake while passing another vehicle to its left. This has happened multiple times. I have contacted ford and they admitted that there is a problem with the adaptive cruise system and that it was a safety issue but they had no plans to fix/recall the issue. Question - how many rear impact accidents/incidents/potential incidents will it take for ford to address this serious unannounced braking issue. It is very unnerving to be driving at highway speed and then to be thrown forward for no reason because your vehicle brakes. Ford did acknowledge that this is a problem and yet does not wish to address it likely until there is death to lawsuit after which it will have been too late for someone. Please exert whatever pressure you can to get verification from ford and have them address this problem with a recall before someone is killed. Thank you.

My ford truck has had issues with lurching while at a stop, hard downshifts. And as of friday night, going from 75 mph on the interstate to a dead standstillas though my transmission locked up.almost created a pileup on interstate 70.then would have rpm btwn 5 to 8 going 20 mph. 2015 model v8 with ecoboost.my year was not part of the recall announced but the symptoms described in that recall fit mine exactly.i am going to file a complaint with ford as well.
On adaptive cruise control, since new, the vehicle brakes are applied when passing an 18 wheel truck/trailer (sometimes) causing a rapid 15-20 mph hard braking decrease in speed jolting and scaring the occupants of the ford. Nearly rear ended several times. Have contacted ford but they did not care nor were they concerned that this is a safety issue. Very dangerous going from 65 to 45 while passing another vehicle and cars are behind me. This is a random occurrence making it even more scary. This has happened too many times to count since 2015 and i am afraid to use the adaptive cruise control for fear of being hit from behind on the highway.
Despite being in the dealers repair shop for warranty work for 33 days including a factory recall on the adaptive cruise control, the unit continues to malfunction.the latest event occurred on august 24, 2016 while traveling at 77mph with the adaptive cruise control engaged.without warning or cause the collision control system fully deployed to include hard braking, windshield warning lights, instrument cluster warning, and audible warning.result is that the vehicledramatically slows very quickly creating a potentially major problem if there were vehicles following closely behind.this in addition to the sudden nature of the warning and vehicle "take over" by the system could cause momentary driver panic!dealer has stated a willingness to work on the vehicle again, but says they can only re-do what they have already done multiple times.

Randomly the hill start assist control error would come up. Additionally, service advance trac error would come up and the truck would go into some sort of limp mode with no acceleration allowed. Finally, the truck started running really rough. All these things would happen while i was in motion and or turning. I have been broken down on the side of the highway 4 separate times now. Everything is really random and can't be replicated. It's done this about 10 times now and the dealer has no idea how to fix it. My truck has been there for over a week with no remedy.
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.
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.

Vehicle accelerated of its own accord driving straight on highway. Took to dealer (village ford, ocala, fl), they ran black box and did warranty work.a few weeks later, vehicle accelerated again of its own accord while attempting to slow down to make a left turn. Vehicle collided into a tree.
While using the adaptive cruise control on my 2015 ford f-150 (king ranch), my truck will confuse a dump truck as a stopped or slow movingvehicle in front of my truck. This will happen if a dump truck is in the lane beside me or in opposing lanes. This occurs at sow and high speeds. Multiple times this has occurred at 65mph+ in traffic. The truck will very abruptly apply the breaks and the collision warning system will alert. This has almost caused very serious wrecks due to the speeds that it often occurs. This is also not a seldom occurance, it happens every time i pass by a dump truck. It will occur on any and every street. I took the vehicle to a ford delearship and their solution had no effect on the issue.
Vehicle w/ less than 3,800 miles. Placed vehicle in drive and the rpms spiked and vehicle took off. Hard braked to gain control of vehicle the tires continued to spin on road surface.

The panoramic sunroof locked up on me when i tried to open it... It would not open and it makes obnoxious noises under normal driving conditions ... There are many you tube videos on this ref. Issue... Ford is replacing the parts to the sunroof, i have read on many ford forums that this 'quick fix' will not correct the problem ... Additionally the steering column always feels like it's positioned off center and veers to the right... I had the truck aligned, problem still exists... Also i've had reoccurring issues with my sync/bluetooth and have advised my service advisors that the problem still exists, when i talk to anyone via the bluetooth i hear loud intermittent static throughout the phone call and the folks on the receiving end of the call all say that there is an echo in the phone line forcing me to end the handsfree sync call and therefore using my own bluetooth... Ford service advisor stated it was because i have an apple iphone, i'm less than satisfied about how ford is handling this issue... I have complained more than 3 times on record about this issue

The wipers quit working when the right blinker is on.when the right blinker is on to signal a turn, the wipers quit working completely.it does not matter what mode the blinkers are in (fast, slow, intermittent) once the right blinker is off, the wipers will begin to work again.vehicle can be stationary or in motion.i believe the multi-function device is defective.
Below about 25 degrees fahrenheit, the windshield washer system freezes up and is unusable.this is despite having fluid certified to -45 degrees centigrade in the system.the freeze up occurs regardless of whether the vehicle is being driven or is parked.the system is always unusable below 20 degrees fahrenheit.this has been a persistent problem every winter since the vehicle was new.i have taken it to the dealership and they are unable to determine the problem.i suspect this is a defect throughout the make/model/year.
On most occasions when temperatures are below freezing, windshield washer solvent doesn't work to clear windshield of ice and salt buildup, creating little to no visibility.it sporadically functions between +25 to +32 degrees and rarely ever below +25 degrees.using winter blended washer solvent -25 degrees.ford is aware of the problem and the fix is to replace arubber washer fluid supply line.apparently, there is a defect with the hose.a recall should be issued to correct these dangerous driving conditions.
The chrome accents on the ac vents causes a glare on the driver and passenger windows.this happens during the daytime or the nighttime. It has been a problem since i took ownership of truck.
My f150 was started and the max defrost was on. While standing next to the vehicle, the rear glass window shattered without cause. A burning smell was noticed, but i assumed it was coming from somewhere other than my truck. The vehicle was parked and i was standing near the vehicle. It is not a possibility that something struck the rear glass, it is an apparent malfunction or defect. I contacted for customer relations and was completely disappointed with the service.
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.
Wipers stuck in lowest intermittent position. Will not turn off. Will not reliabliy change speeds.
I own a 2015 f-150 supercrew lariat with moon-roof which has been replaced & fixed multiple occasions for leaks which has damaged the interior and left a rotten smell within the truck and not able to get out. Also the moonroof has also been replaced for broken tracks multiple times for non operations of moonroof.
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.
I was driving to work after dropping my daughter off and out of nowhere i heard a very loud pop sound.i looked in my rear view mirror and the entire back window was shattered.i was on a main road.smooth.going approx 40-50mph.no cars were behind me.i pulled over to see if it was struck by a rock or falling object... No clear impact.it was evenly shattered across the entire window.it was about 65 degrees f.defrost was not on at the time.smelled similar to that burning smell after an airbag deploys.i drove straight to a dealership and they said they never heard of that happening before "woltz & wind ford, inc" in pittsburgh.thank god this didn't happen with my newborn and 2 year old in the back.i was shocked to find the number for similar stories online.ford should address this.imagine if i were driving with my kids in the winter across the state and this happened.we typically drive through the night. It's not safe and should be addressed.i want ford to cover the expense to replace.
Every time i use my windshield wipers they want turn off even when they are off. They keep going even after you turn the wipers switch to 0 (off) its does this when the vehicle moving or stationary..
Since purchased, the windshield washers freeze making for unsafe driving every winter anytime the temp gets below 32.this creates an extremely hazardous driving condition.unacceptable when you have to pull off the road and keep throwing snow on the windshield to clear.
Inoperative windshield washer jets when temperature is below freezing. This happens anytime the roads are wet from salt spray and makes it difficult to see and dangerous to stop along side the road to clean the windshield. See ford tsb 16-0082
The image in the driver side rear view is distorted into dual or blurred image. It is difficult to capture while moving, but is, escalated when multiple vehicles and lanes are present. Escalated even further in inclement and night driving conditions. The spot mirror is integrated with the main rearview mirror further distracting the driver from the road ahead as well as points to the same line of horizon that proves to beboth driver and passenger rearview mirrors, making side and rear safety cushion observation ineffective and inefficient. Many citizens install pick up bed truck caps to protect their belongings. The design of these mirrors alone is detrimental to safety observation. Add in defective performance sits on the slope of reckless endangerment. Which brings me to the indented signaling programed into the turn indicators. This indented feature promotes unsafe turning/lane change maneuvers. Using the 100 ft. Rule. It is impossible complete a safe lane change and share the road with other drivers in the time allotted 3 flashes. Three before , three during and three after is pushing a less experienced driver. None the less is the accepted courteous driver rule, not to mention the rule of law. At the very least this mirror should have a warning of poor visual when installing truck cap and dealer should be required to warn prospect thereof. As well as the manufacturer needs to offer an optional application. Safe cars save lives. This photo examines the defect occurring at center angle of mirror. The defect is more pronounced moving towards the edge. But definitely occurs before the line caused by auto dimming film. ( unable to upload photo) but available on request. Update! 5/11/2017 as of now i am allowing fomco to repair and replace this defective mirror. I still believe it to be a safety design flaw and should be removed upon verification of towing intention.
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 would arise after my factory warranty expires (there was a secondary qc-related issue on the truck that isn't worth mentioning here except to say that it was obvious and involved another missing part). The arrogance i encountered from several representatives on the phone was beyond the pale of anything i've encountered from the company that is supposed to be is reputable as ford.
Left for work, 44 degrees.turned rear defroster on, four miles down road heard a loud bang or pop sound.back windshield had basically exploded.driving 50mph.has a sliding glass was not broken,but entire back window burst
Rear window shattered.vehicle was parked.i was away from the vehicle workingand when i returned i noticed the rear window was shattered outward.outside temp was 60 degrees f, and there was little to no wind.center slider was intact, but the large glass was blown outward in the center of the two largest areas.see photos.
Started my truck using remote start. Roughly 45-55 secs later, i get in my truck and the rear passenger area is filled with smoke. I shut off vehicle. I smelled burned electrical wires. I wasn't able to detect anything out of the norm. Roughly 5-7 mins later, my back glass shattered. Truck was stationary.
On a major highway in elk grove illinois during rush hours. 45 mph . Outside temperature was 27 degrees above zero. Road was wet with salt from previous snow fall. Windshield was collecting heavy spray back from other vehicles in front of my truck. When applying windshield washer the washer failed to spray. Resulting in a very smeared and heavy road dirt on windshield. It was very frightening to not being able to see in front of me. I was unable to pull over and clean the windshield manually at that moment. This has happened twice this winter and i found this to be very threatening to properly maintain safe driving under these circumstances. This only happens when below freezing and there is -35 below zero washer fluid in the reservoir i have made an appointment ata ford dealership which they have a bulletin repair on this. No accidents because of this yet. I believe in putting up the guard rail before the vehicle runs of the road.
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.
The remote start was on for 5 minutes, we got in the car and the entire back windshield was shatterring.there was no prior damage to the back windshield, no issues ever. We looked on the outside and it was shattering from the edges and slowly started cracking to pieces before our eyes.if we would have been driving this would have been a huge safety concern especially with children in the back seat.
Turned defrost on and in 2 to 3 minutes heard a loud pop and looked back and the rear windowpane had completely shattered. The break happened in motion on a city street. The defrost malfunctioned and overheated the window causing it to shatter.
Driving on the highway, wipers would not change speed from slowest to anything else.have also had issues with wipers turning themselves on and staying on even when in the off position.
Wipers turn on and stay on while driving.road conditions had no effect. The courtesy wiper was turned off.even though the wiper switch was turned off the wipers would still come on and stay on. I took it to ford and they said the wiper switch was bad. Charged me $300 to make the repair. Ford technician said the switch in the steering column went bad. Of coarse this happened at 41,000 miles and ford declined to warranty it.
Windshield wiper sprayer not working in colder weather.occurred when temperatures are under 20 degrees also another owner experience this that same day.its happened twice now in the past week.visibility with windows icing/smeared dirt is troublesome whether on highway or driving in general.highly concerned i wouldn't be able to safely see to pull over.love the truck but this is concerning.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle in colder weather below 25 degrees the windshield washer fluid would not properly spray onto the front windshield causing a visibility hazard to the driver. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer inver grove ford/lincoln (4725 s. Robert trl, inver grove heights, mn) was notified of the failure. The contact was advised that a tsb was issued for the problem which included the replacement of a faulty hosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 10,000.
I have a constant issue in temps below 25degrees which is about 25% of the time in my patrol area. This is a state patrol issued patrol vehicle.spray nozzle fails to operate.pump can be heard operating but pressure drops until inop.checked washer lines, non appear to be frozen.nozzle does not appear to be frozen either.i have tried all known fixes, lower temp fluid, a fluid "booster", alcohol on nozzle etc.this happens constantly while in motion as i would assume wind chill temps decrease.after letting truck sit for 15 mins or so issue is resolved due to obvious increased under hood temperatures.within minutes of highway driving and again lower wind chill temperatures problem occurs again.maybe a freezing pump issue? dealership stated they had no idea about issue.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that the top rail on the rear sliding glass rattled and vibrated uncontrollably while driving at various speeds. The contact discovered that the top rail of the vehicle was held together by double sided tape.the contact spoke to two rivers ford inc located at (76 belinda pkwy, mt. Juliet, tn 37122) and was informed that the dealer was unaware of the defect. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 61,000.
Windshield washer fluid frozen in lines. When pushing the washer fluid button while driving, the wipers would wipe but not washer fluid would come out causing a dangerous visibility situation. I took it to the dealer that day while they were still frozen and the dealer said i did have the correct windshield washer fluid in them, but they were having problems with them freezing, so they said they dumped more alcohol in the tank and said to let it thaw overnight in the garage (thankfully i have a heated garage, but many don't so i'm not sure what their solution would be). I asked the dealer to perform the tsb currently out that covers this very situation. They said they put more alcohol in the tank and it should be fine. The dealer was dahl ford located in onalaska, wi. This even being a problem to begin with is a alarming, and a dealer not willing to fix such an important problem when it's a known issue is just as much of an alarm!secondly, my door latches also freeze on the truck when temps are below freezing. All 4 doors of my crew cab are affected. Depending on the day, it varies which one freezes. I have stopped using car washes and trying to keep my truck as dry as possible to no avail. Once these latches freeze, the door will either not lock or unlock (depending on the last position of the switch), or when you open the door and shut it, the door mechanism will not grab and hold the door shut. After repeated slammings i can usually get it to lock, but this is absolutely ridiculous. I have to carry bungee cords around in case my doors won't close and i have to bungee cord them closed to drive home! i have a newborn, i can't have this crap on a truck with 20k miles! many many many many many people are having these exact same issues, i only found out how many there were after doing an online search for a fix.
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 experiencing the seat back getting extremely hot while using the "cooled seat" feature.i feel this could cause a burn or fire hazard.
Front windshield cracked. Truck not moving, just sitting in the parking lot. I was in it. Nothing hit it. Very weird. I thought the whole thing was going to shatter. Brand new truck, only 627 miles on it. Any ideas?
Wiper fluid tubing constricted in cold weather, no fluid comes out.using -20f wiper fluid, no problems in other vehicles, in f150 nothing comes out below 15f.once above 25f, works fine.did get replacement tubing from delaer, same problem.
I woke up and remote started my truck before leaving for work on a 40 degree fahrenheit day. I was 2 minutes into my drive and then all i heard was a huge bang, i seriously thought someone had just shot a gun. I looked back and my rear window was just completely shattered for no reason. This makes me very upset because i had just gotten the truck back from getting a new windshield that cracked for no reason 2 days ago, thanks.
Windshield wiper continue to operate in low intermittent when the switch is in the off position - the driver cannot turn off the wipers.any time the truck's engine is on, the wipers run.ford motor company published online tsb 15-0061 on april 27, 2015, which addressed the problem for model years 2011-2014 for explorers, f150's, edges, mkx's and f-super duty vehicles.the bulletin call for the installation of a "new wiper/malfunction switch, which at my dealer costs $900.obviously, a vehicle cannot be safely operated with the wiper running in dry weather.eventually, the wiper blades would melt and streak the windshield, thus blurring the driver's vision.repairing the problem is not is not optional, it mus be done.ford knew it had problems with the equipment in model years 2011-2014.i have a 2015 and the problem still exists.not only have they not solved the problem inn newer models, they failed to re-engineer the wiper system to make the repair less costly.replacing the switch requires disassembling and reassembling the steering column, which is labor intensive and thus expensive.ford has managed to limit its exposure by calling the problem a warranty issue.i commute 80 miles a day in metro atlanta.the weather has been relatively dry in recent years, so i blew through the mileage limits on the warranty with little need to use my wipers.working wipers are necessary safety equipment.ford knew they had a problem for several years, but did not solve the issue.the cost is not affordable for many americans.ford should bare the burden of repairing equipment that they knew was faulty, but continued to install in new vehicles.
After turning off the wipers, they continue to run intermittently.this has been happening for some time.
Windshield cracked without any impact from road debris while driving down the freeway at 65 to 70 mph in 70 degree clear weather on march 8, 2017. Crack started after a very loud noise, like a gun shot, at the upper edge of the windshield right at the roof line just above rearview mirror and expanded about 8 inches at a 60 degree angle then ran at 180 degree angle another 14 inches before heading back to the top lip of the windshield at a 90 degree angle. Professional body & glass repair shop could not find impact of any kind anywhere on the windshield appeared like a general stress fracture not associated with impact or excessive stress more like a flaw in the windshield structure. Truck had approximately 26,000 miles on odometer has never been used to tow nor has it been off road. Have windshield fractures not associated with impact been reported on other aluminum body ford pickups . We took possession of our truck in june of 2015. Our truck is a super crew cab 2 wheel drive 2.7 liter v6 lariat model. Repair was a little over $500 not covered by insurance. These windshields have sound proofing material inside them according to the body shop and somewhat unusual.
Freezing windshield washers.
Wipers would come on while driving or sitting stationary by them self would not shut of with wiper control swith. I called them 'ghost wipers' only had 22,000 miles on truck had to buy wiper/turnsignal switch.
Driving down the street, without the rear defrost on,and heard a large boom, which i discovered the next morning was the rear window blowing out on my truck.looks like this is a common situation with these types of vehicles and ford is not taking responsibility for the problem.there is a massive blog,with dozens of accounts of similar experiences. Vehicle was going abprox 5 mph as i was just leaving from a stop light.i was on a city street in reno, nv.this happened on 1/27/21 about 5:30pm.i contact nv energy to see if a transformer had blown, checked vehicle for impact form an object, and no evidence of either.glass now in the vehicle and continues to fall apart.just lucky i didn't have passengers in the back seat!!
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While exiting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the rear sliding window glass was loose and off track. The contact took the vehicle to murray ford kingsland (2030 ga-40, kingsland, ga 31548) to be diagnosed, but no repairs were performed. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The approximate failure mileage was 52,000.
Frozen wiper nozzles, frozen washer fluid reservoir, frozen hoses to and from reservoir to nozzle sprayer.multiple occasions of the fluid being frozen, or freezing while driving. Using winter mix solution designed for upto -20.tried other brands, still end up with freezing sprayer while driving, temperature has done this at around 20 degrees, uncertain if this is due to characteristic of aluminum body or poor design.check valve was observed being frozen at one point with blockage, had an updated checkvalve/line kit i purchased, after reading in f150 forum for tsb for f150, yet still had issues.vehicle remains garaged while not in use, other vehicles including older ford ranger and a plymouth neon did not have these issues although sitting outside with same wiper fluid. Significant hazard on highway to have sprayer go from working to frozen in seconds with the misting of other cars in the snow on windshield.very dangerous situation in the dark, defrosters on high heat do not help enough to clean the windshield.presently looking at heating methods/defrosters or insulators before winter comes.would like a factory solution, but i cannot wait til it causes a serious wreck.a vehicle passing by blowing mist in winter will diminish visibility greatly.i've had multiple occasions of freezing sprayer/reservoir/line issues.sometimes while stationary, other times while driving sprayer ices over.after long drive 1hr sitting in garage the engine bay heat thaws out the sprayer. Many complaints on f150 forum.best estimate for date of occurrence(s) is winter months.
The wiper stop working in the middle of windshield while it was raining. I was driving in city.
Windshield wiper fluid not working.ford said tubes freeze, i had to pay to replace but the fluid still does not come out when temperatures below 20 degrees.i am using rain-x fluid rated to -30 degrees, same fluid works in other vehicles.once engine is warm and stopped for 20 minutes, fluid will sometimes work.i think the plastic tubes ford charged me for should be replaced with metallic ones that will not constrict/shrink.
Rear glass shattered while truck sat idle warming up.burning electrical smell and smoke prior to glass shattering.glass defroster was on at the time, smoke dissipated after defroster was turned off.
Nov 30, 2015: while traveling on interstate i-64, norfolk, va. During a heavy rain storm, both wiper blades stopped in the vertical position. I tried to turn the wipers off and attempted various other setting but the wipers remained stationary in the vertical position. Dec. 2, 2015, dealer replaced the wiper motor to resolve the issue.
Electrical power connector for rear sliding window defroster broke at its attachment (factory soldered) point to the rear sliding widow glass. This leaves the defogger inoperable and eliminates rear visibility due to fog/frost/ice build-up.vehicle is just out of its 3 year warranty and has less than 28,000 miles.i have spoken with ford customer service. Ford motor company service is unwilling to recognize/correct the factory defect and claimed to have no knowledge of similar issues for the 2015 model.this defect is apparently similar to that which ford has recognized forsimilar 2013 models, issuing a technical service bulletin (ford tsb asi-32259)
At temperatures of 20f-22f windshield wiper pump loses pressure and can not pump wiper fluid. Dealership brings truck inside, warms truck and claims it was frozen and now it works. After driving 15 minutes in 20f-22fpump initially worked then started to lose pressure again, resulting in failure to pump windshield wiper fluid. You could see the pump pumping less and less as you drive. This causes a condition where it is difficult to see out the window and vision is impaired. Also using premium deicer washer fluid, not standard wiper fluid, (rain-x deicer) that has a tendency to freeze in the north east during winter.
Windshield washer does not work as soon as any dirt bugs etc obscure vision i must stop and clean windshield with water i carry inside. This becomes very difficult in high traffic situations. It has been like this since i bought the vehicle ford says the part is under redesign and no date is available yet for a fix, it has been for over 2-3 months, yet they continue to sell new f-150s. Are they waiting for a large number of bad accidents before they remedy the problem?
The rear sliding window bond has lost its adhesive.while driving the window started to blow in causing the debris to blow into my cab.ford has not done anything to remedy my complaint.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While attempting to use the windshield wipers, the wiper fluid failed to dispense. The vehicle was taken to osseo ford (50825 spruce rd, osseo, wi 54758, (715) 597-3185) where it was diagnosed that the wiper hose needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
Windshield wipers turn on randomly and intermittently whenever the truck is on even though the wiper switch is in the off position.exact cause of malfunction unknown.this issue was subject to a recall for earlier model years, however not for 2015 model year.issue causes startle or driver and loss of clear vision.
The rear windshield shattered during defrost mode.the vehicle was pulling away from a stop sign when the glass shattered.there was no impact, the vehicle was traveling under 20 miles per hour, the temperature outside was approximately 20 degrees, and the heat setting inside was set to "max".the rear glass panes on either side of the sliding window shattered simultaneously with a sound that could be described as a "gun shot".broken glass fell into the cab of the truck and on to the seats and floor.normally my children are seated in the rear of the vehicle.on this particular morning, the rear of the vehicle was empty.the event occurred about 3 miles from my home, so the vehicle had only been running for about 10 minutes. I believe that the safety risk is a result of a materials defect combined with a heating system failure.the glass is likely experiencing severe thermal shock during defrost mode.thermal shock leads to shattering even if the glass is tempered.ford should recall this rear window assemblageand associated heating components immediately.ford customer service was contacted and a case number was assigned.after repairs were complete, a copy of the invoice was hand delivered to a ford dealership with a request that full reimbursement be received for required repairs due to material defects and faulty heating systems.
Truck was warming up and something smelled like an electrical fire and suddenly the rear window shattered.contacts for the rear defroster pulled from window causing electrical arcing that started melting a piece of plastic causing a hot spot on the window that led to it shattering.vehicle was stationary while this happened.
Pulling into my driveway my power sliding back window exploded and shattered. The rear defrost was not on and there was no impact or damage.
Wipers will not shut off.even if you shut the vehicle off, they still come on when it's started again. The only way to stop the wipers is to pull the fuse. There is a recall on 2011-2014 models but not on the 2015 model. This is clearly a defective ford switch but company will not cover the replacement. I have called the dealership and 800 number.
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.
On 10/18/19 at 7:20 am i started my 2015f150 with 27k milesvia the autostart system as the outside temperature was around 35f and there was front on the glass.my truck was in my driveway,facing north towards the street.when i approached my truck after in n for under 5 minutes i could smell a burning odor.i opened the truck and the smell was stronger.when i look around i saw that the rear window was completely shattered with a hole where a section fell into the bed.i contacted my ford dealer and the service tech stated he never heard of this and they could replace it forapprox. $1400.00.

Sadly, we feel we have purchased a lemon occasionally engine or transmission squeals/grinds, if accelerate too quickly/power up.,and now, on cold days [temps low 40s & under] hear rubbing/grinding whirring at left front tire? gets louder when depress brake, and can feel in brake pedal. Sound occurs during slow forward speed 2-40 mph, on gravel driveway or paved road. Scheduled service today for noise; they were more interested in fixing recall item [locks - rpr time 3+hrs], if they had parts in stock. Recall srvc completed [under 1 hr], and "no noise was heard." i requested further look for cause of noise, service advisor said quick lane would check suspension?. 2 hrs later, nothing seen, nothing heard, nothing repaired. As i pulled away from dealership, having signed off on service, the truck immediately began making the noise [funny serv advsr didn't hear when he brought truck around?]. I drove less than 1/10 mile back to dealership, took the service advisor for ride; at which point he acknowledged he heard noise, but tried to assure me it's a 'tire issue.' my husband and i believe otherwise - this is not tire noise, the noise never crescendos or changes pitch with increase or decrease speed, on gravel or asphalt, and we have never felt 'tire noise' in brake pedal. This noise/friction merely ceases after you've driven a few minutes [for now]. Service advisor assured me i was not doing any further damage to truck, continuing to drive it without resolution to the problem. I asked him if i needed new tires, he said indeed not, mine are in great shape [original tires] with 63,000 miles on them [but it's a tire issue?]. Something's up [similar concerns have been raised in forums on the internet- along with dealer dismissal/failure to resolve.we want our truck repaired [resolution of these mechanical failures] while it's under warranty, or we want a new vehicle.
My f-150 has had 2 turbos in 1 year go bad on it, causing me to not be able to accelerate at highway speeds. Losing gas mileage and coolant also. My tire sensor has also gone bad on the truck and caused me to over inflate it.
I was driving on 680 and without warning my front driver side tire fell off. It felt like a flat tire and as i was pulling over the tire went flying. New truck under warranty 500$ monthly payments, this should not happen. I drove truck from wi to ca. Had ford inspect the vehicle, they knew it was not safe said it was and let me drive it away 2600 miles later tire problem happens. I took it back to ford for repair,they replaced all lug nuts from closed cap to open face, i asked about lug nut class action lawsuit ant they had no comment.
Attempting to change a flat on the side of the highway, i was unable to get the lug nuts off because the ford standard wrench supplied with the jack kit is too small and wouldn't fit onto the nuts even when trying to force it on by banging on it with a rock.i was left stranded on the side of the highway for a couple of hours waiting for aaa to bring the correct sized socket.the aaa service man said that he had to use a 7/8 socket.this situation put me in unnecessary danger and is a major inconvenience.i called ford customer service and they said there is no open recall and that i would need to have a ford dealership look at the issue.they also said i would most likely have to pay for a correctly sized lug nut wrench.
This is a know issue that ford has fail to resolve.. Chrome plated lugs nuts are becoming swollen and the issued lug wrench will not work on the lugs.. The local service depart stated the ford refused to correct the problem.. If the vehicle if out of warranty, the consumer will be forced to have the vehicle towed until the right size lug wrench can be fitted.. This is a safety issue and a unwarranted unknown cost to consumers due to a known defect..just a random search of the internet for swollen lug nuts and you will see all the complaints.. Can you image somebody with a new vehicle on the side of the road attempting to change a tire and the issued lug wrench will not work..my lugs were replace by the dealer on jan 31st, 2016here is an online ford forum.http://www.f150forum.com/f118/swollen-lug-nuts-365302/again, this has been a issue for many years and i am sure numerous consumershad been confronted with this.. A simple online research will show thousands of complaints..the funny part, they put they same lug nuts back on my vehicle after the repair.
The truck seems to be rubbing and shaking. Someone said make the hubs and bearings
On july 24, 2020 while driving on interstate 291 driving 45-50mph with heavy traffic, with absolutely no warning there was a loud explosion.i thought i was rear ended. Simultaneously the rear tires locked up while approaching a work zone.i skidded uncontrollably for approximately 100 feet. Ultimately came to rest on the shoulder. As my family and i exited the vehicle there was heavy smoke coming from the rear and underside of the vehicle.we thought the vehicle was on fire.the state police arrived on the scene within 5 minutes upon us exiting the vehicle.the transmission wouldn't go into gear so the vehicle had to be flat bedded to the nearest dealership, marcotte ford, holyoke ma. Was told by the dealership the rear end failed and locked up.upon their test drive i was told there was a total failure with the transmission.they said they had to wait for a decision from ford to either rebuild or replace the transmission. August 19, 2020 i was notified that the transmission was rebuilt and that i could pick up the vehicle.i did not receive any prior phone calls from themto inform me of what was going to be done to correct the situation..
Lug nuts on truck get swollen and the dealer could not get the lug nuts off of the truck. I had to buy twelve new lug nuts at my cost. They replaced with the same lug nuts. If you break down and the lug nuts are swollen you can not get your tire off to change it. This is a safety problem that needs to be fixed, ford will not pay for the replacement of the part.

Design flaw in vista sunroof on supercrew trucks is a known issue to leak. There is a service bulletin out but requires a $1200-$1500 repair fee. In addition, known flaw in lug nuts expanding to point of not being able to remove wheels. Coat to replace another known defect is $14 per lug nut.major issues should be covered when related to locked wheels and water leakage into passenger compartment during operation.
Malloy ford in winchester, va just notified me that they recommend that the next time the wheels are removed that all 24 of the lug nuts be replaced for $160.00. I know from my previous 2009 ford f150 that the lug nuts are made in two pieces and that they corrode and expand and eventually the socket wrench will not fit the nut. Imagine having a flat tire on the highway and not being able to remove the wheel to change the tire. This has been an issue for a least eleven years and i believe longer. I had to replace the lug nuts on my 2009 f150. The tech told me that i should go online and find (non ford) one piece lug nut replacements because ford's design will only corrode again. Why is this still happening?
All lug nuts are swelling- hard to get off.tech told me it will get to point i will have to have them all replaced and if i were to get a flat tire there is no way i would be able to get any of them off at this point.
2015 ford f-150 wheels get stuck on the hubs very quickly and easily. With both the aluminum summer rims and steel winter rims. The removal of the wheels take excessive force to complete, much more than what the vehicle's included jack can handle on roadside. Can be very dangerous and very costly when changing a flat tire.
When turning onto a road and starting to accelerate, the truck suddenly lost all power and the traction control, advance traction control, hill descent control, maintenance required light all came on and the truck went into limp mode. Luckily i was able to pull off the road and avoid being hit.
