I have a 2016 f150 with issues similar to nhtsa complaint id# 10127407.the problems are not intermittent, the part has failed & is not available from ford at this time.the air conditioning quits completely & you cannot run the fan at all.you cannot roll down any windows in the vehicle & the vehicle gets well over 90 degrees inside while driving.this is a huge safety issue because when this doesn't work it also disables the airbags of the vehicle, cross traffic alert as well as tire pressure monitor failure along with other safety features.the seats no longer retract or move forward when the vehicle is started/shutoff.the key fob intermittently will not lock the doors of the vehicle & the alert on the truck says key not found.with the warm temperatures and no way to roll down the windows or turn on the ac or a blower fan makes this vehicle extremely unsafe to operate.
I was in a violent head on crash and none of the airbags deployed. The cab of the truck filled up with smoke after the crash. Vehicle was doing approximately 25mph
Drivers side air bag inflator failed. Air bag light came on, dealer determined air bag inflator was bad and needed replaced.

One week ago left work and turned on truck. When starting to pull out of parking space abs light came on dash. After getting home and calling dealer to have inspection, was informed it would be 2 weeks to get infor service. As vehicle is daily driver continued to drive around town and to work, a few days after regular use steering column started getting harder to turn and developed clicking sound. Called another mechanic to get in sooner and before could make that appointment scheduled for two days later entire steering column locked up and vehicle is unusable. Being towed to repair shop today. Luckily was not driving when column locked up. Had started vehicle in driveway and was planning on going to store when unable to back up because steering columns/wheel would not move. Now awaiting work from repair shop on doagnsostics and issue to repair. Very frustrated as vehicle less than 3 years old and with only 70k miles.

Takatarecall.i called my dealership team ford to schedule an appointment to have the defective air bags replaced, they stated that they do not have the parts, therefore i needed to wait until they notify me, undetermined time..i do not feel safe driving a truck that paid $60,000your assistance in this matter, is greatly appreciated.
Drivers side air bag cover split open exposing the airbag.this was not the result of a collision.appears to be a faulty cover.
Air bags did not deploy during a collision!collision occurred when the other vehicle made a left turn in front of my truck.my vehicle was traveling 50-55 mph on the 2 lane road. The collision was a "t-bone", again, none of the airbags deployed.request a written response to this complaint.
I have a 2016 f150 lariat. While stationary and in motion my rear blindspot spot moduale keeps showing on my dash covering my sperdometer. When this happens i lose my heat, airbags, gps, front power windows, power mirrors and power seats. I've been checking online of this problem and sounds quite common. This was happening about 3 times a day for about 2 weeks and now it stays to where its constant. Seeing this is on going with these vehicles i think the dealerships should be reliable to fix this expensive ongoing problem. The ford dealership in utica, ny wants 1500.00 dollars to fix this problem.
This vehicle belongs to osceola county, fl (company vehicle). The car was in motion at a speed of 25mph in a city street (st. Cloud,fl). I was driving the car.a front collision accident occurred.the driver side air bag deployed.the seat belt retracted in a hard manner.due to this accident my left shoulder/shoulder blade & collar bone were injured.i had surgery and i am still dealing with treatment due to the pain & unable to use my shoulder as before.the hsmv crash report# 87065712
'takata recall' i was rear ended by a vehicle traveling at about 45 mph that vehicle got totaled the whole front end was destroyed car had to be towed but my f150 did not deploy the airbags at such a violent collision???
Takata recall. The contact owned a 2016 ford f-150. While driving 15 mph, the contact crashed into the rear of another vehicle that was making a left turn. The other vehicle spun around and crashed into a third vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. The contact's vehicle was totaled and towed. There were no injuries. A police report was filed. The dealer (mark mclarty ford, 4400 landers rd, north little rock, ar 72117, (501) 945-1200) was contacted and suggested calling the insurance company. The manufacturer was not contacted. The air bag failure was not diagnosed. The failure mileage was 40,000.
On friday, may 21, 2021, the horn pad / airbag cover on the steering wheel cracked beneath the ford emblem on my 2016 ford f150 with approximately 44k mi on the vehicle.a quick web search shows identical cracks on many f150 horn pads of this body style.there are no recalls and no tsbs, but there are many online reports of this failure, indicating it is common.likewise, there are many stories of ford faulting drivers for improper horn use to decline warranty coverage.without improper use in my case, i can assure that the failure of the horn pad cover is a design flaw.because the issue presents a safety concern by exposing the airbag or related hardware, i recommend a recall be issued to proactively address this common design failure.i look forward to ford resolving this issue for me under their cpo warranty, but online commenters leave me cautious about the likelihood of warranty support.
I was traveling straight in my f-150 on a main road in the 30-40mph range when another vehicle (2006 chevy 2500 pickup) darted across traffic trying to go from one parking lot to another.i struck the other vehicle (t-boned) on the passenger side front and back doors.my foot was jamming the brakes at the time of collision.the impact was significant and caused a good amount of damage to the front of my f-150.the seat belt actuator fired off to lock me in place but the air bag did not deploy.i don't understand how/why the airbag did not deploy in this instance.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at 45 mph, the vehicle in front of him stopped abruptly and his brakes failed while depressed without warning. Due to the failure, the contact rear ended the vehicle. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. There were no injuries reported at the scene and a police report was not filed. The contact was able to drive the vehicle home from the scene of the accident. The contact initially took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where they repaired the damage to the vehicle; however, upon a test drive, they discovered that the brakes remained faulty. The independent mechanic then took the vehicle to another independent mechanic where they diagnosed the vehicle with a faulty master cylinder. Upon investigation, the contact discovered that his vehicle had been placed under nhtsa recall number: 20v332000 (service brakes, hydraulic); however, the parts to repair the vehicle are unavailable. The contact never received a notice about the failure. The contact called bill brandt ford (8100 brentwood blvd, brentwood, ca 94513) where they referred him to the manufacturer. The manufacturer was notified and informed him that they would reimburse him for the repair to the master cylinder. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000.
I have had my truck to dealer for many multiple issues involving electrical since approximately 6600 miles beginning with shaking when i slowed down without utilizing brakes. Since then i've been at the dealer with many electrical issues where truck would not accelerate and all lights would illuminate. This has been ongoing and very unsafe.when i would attempt to make a left hand turn i would proceed to cross opposing lanes and vehicle would feel like it was in neutral and almost was struck on numerous occasions. Vehicle has also over accelerated very early in ownership. Most recently and i picked up my truck and a week later same problem. I have had my truck at the dealership with electrical problems that create a great danger to myself as well as other motorists. Certainly i cannot be the only person who literally as of the first week of december 2015 received my ordered truck and now after 3 years has had so many close calls when operating the vehicle.all times the vehicle was operational and runs very rough prior to happening. I have been driving down the street and video the trucks camera and other items going on and off during operation. The truck has sever electrical deficiencies and the engine has severe response issues that puts my life. My passengers lives and the other motorist at great risk of injury or death. I am unable to supply all the dates in the one space provided. But have all video and paperwork from all the times and dates from dealership.
Purchased-new 2016 f-150 center rear window defogger quit working at approximately 13,380 miles and 37 months since purchase. Purchased the ford premium care warranty which specific lists "heated backglass (electrical only - not broken or damaged glass) as a covered item. Rear window glass is not broken or damaged, but ford still refused to cover under warranty. Incident submitted to provide for further documentation of existing f-150 issue.
I was completing a 3 hour drive of approximately 120 miles (i had less than 5 miles to go till i arrived at my destination) when my sensors started lighting up my message board and dash system. I was in the left turn lane to enter the on-ramp to us65 south when this happened so i pulled off to the shoulder to investigate. I had just put my truck in park when a car pulled up and said that my engine was on fire. When i got out to look, the fire was rolling out from under the drivers side wheel well. As well, there was either a fluid or melted plastic dripping down to the asphalt that was also on fire. The fire appeared to put itself out, for the most part, prior to the fire company arriving within the next 10 minutes. I had, what i believed to be at the time, recall work done by mike raisor ford in lafayette, in, less than 1 year ago. In that recall work, i thought the block heater was disconnected so as to prevent an engine fire such as this. Now, i am having doubts as to whether this was completely disconnected. Nhtsa campaign number is 18v894000 and fords recall number is 18s45.
While stationary (would also happen while in motion) in a parking lot with the engine running and driver and passenger seat heaters activated (driver on medium, passenger on high), a random clicking sound (believed to be the relay for the heated seats) was observed coming from under the passenger seat. It was then noticed that the heated seats were no longer functioning/providing heat, even though the lights on the controls were staying illuminated. A short while later, a burning (electrical) smell was observed in the cab, coming from the passenger side of the vehicle. Once the smell started getting stronger, the heated seats were turned off and the smell seemed to go away within 5-10 minutes. Upon arriving home, i inspected the seat heater control module (original ford part number gu5t-14b663-aa) that is located under the front passenger seat. Upon inspection of this module, it was found that the bk-bu wire on the 12-pin c3265a connector had started to melt. Upon doing some investigation of this issue online, it was found that this is a widespread issue among many newer ford vehicles that uses the same seat heater control module, and many other experienced this issue. This poses a major safety issue as it is a fire hazzard.
When i got off work got into my vehicle after a rainy day water poured out from my control panel on the ceiling of my truck. This the second time it's done it. Water comes out of the buttons used to control the rear window button also from the passenger side handle used to help upon entry to the vehicle. The vehicle was stationary for 10 hours and rain was happening all day. When i got in my vehicle the interior was dry but as soon as i turned right water began to pour from the control panel on the ceiling.
Truck will stall/shut off at a stop while towing. Red battery light will show on dashboard. Car will turn over then shut down again by itself within a few seconds. This happened 3 times at this point- once while in gas station in line to get gas (stationary) once at intersection (stationary at stop light), another time after stopping vehicle to get gas. At first event 30 minutes after it not working a jump started the vehicle successfully, at second instance jump would not start car, had to get towed, at third instance we were able to start vehicle by holding throttle down while putting in drive. Brought to ford dealership- said nothing was wrong, would not work on truck, said no computer codes were found.
After starting vehicle, could smell electrical wiring burning. Couple days later rear window with defroster wires melted. Causing window to over heat and break. Window repair person at safelite indicated we are luck truck didnt burn up. He showed us the melted wires.
Just bought our truck 3 weeks ago and the rear-camera went out.frought it into the dealer and they found that the camera harness was chewed by a rodentand had to replace the harness.per messages off the website, found that all wire harnesses in ford trucks and other vehicles, have a soy coating on them that attracts rodents. If this is happening to all vehicles now of days, they better find a different way to coat wires in all vehicles. Major problem and very costly. It will run us $1800.00 for the fix and its a brand new truck.
Had a fire start in the rear seat area while the truck was warming up in the remote start mode .the remote start was factory installed by ford . The truck was declared a total loss
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle lost total power as it rumbled and shook. Also, various warning indicators illuminated, including the powertrain fault, stability control, air bag, and check service manual. The contact stated that the running board failed to retract. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and restarted the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to ford & lincoln of smithtown (440 jericho turnpike, st james, ny 11780(631) 265-2340), but the cause of the failure could not be duplicated or diagnosed. When the contact retrieved the vehicle several hours later, the failure recurred and the vehicle was towed back to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but did not assist. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.
Radio/audio does not work intermittently on 2016 f150 platinum sync system. This is widely none problem with these trucks and ford is not doing anything about it. This is related to nhtsa id #10091432. Ford tsb #ssm 45945. This was a $70,000 and ford is accepting responsibility to fix a simple radio issue.
Dual control for the a/c pops up . Also had radio not wanting to go off with the key out off the truck and the door open . Also had the lights not working for the trailior . Also my truck didn't want to go over 5 miles an hour. Dealer can find anything wrong with it. What next
While exiting the interstate, making a hard swooping left hand turn, make truck shutdown completely.at approximately 40mph and turning, i suddenly had to fight the lack of power steering.as soon as i felt it stop it powered back up.this issue continued intermittently until i was able to safely come to a stop.
I was driving my 2016 ford f150 north on payment, the outside temperature was around 35. I had recently turn my rear defroster on so it was on for about five minutes prior to the rear glass shattering. I was driving around 35 mph when i heard something pop and a burning smell coming from the rear of my pickup at first i thought it was a gun shot but it turns out the rear glass had shattered. The only thing that could've caused it is the rear defroster. Replacement of the rear window and installation will cost $623.22.

It idles rough at stop light sometimes shuts down ,radio screen is blank sometimes w radio or phone call. Electrical burning smell enough to make me nauseous. The computer reads no codes. This happens every couple of days, it has been at 2 different shops up to weeks at a time they have changed several parts but none have fixed it.
Driving down road. Smell electrical burning smell. A minute later the rear window explodes into a million pieces.call dealership.they say "we've never seen that problem before."take it to window repair shop."oh we see this with f150s several times per week." they tell me its due to the rear defrost not automatically turning off.i had turned it on a week before to defrost the rear windows.i had not turned it on the day it exploded. Ford knows this is an issue.otherwise, why would one small window repair place see this several times/week?
While driving truck loses power and the hilside assist error comes on.you can't press the gas to go you have to coast and pull over and turn the truck on an off for it to start and work again.happens while you are driving. Very dangerous.i am told it is a bad throttle body
Touch screen that controls heating system and heating steering wheel very slow to respond.rear view camera malfunctions.screen goes blank when backing up then come on and stays on while going forward. Been reading online and this is attributed to a faulty apim accessory protocol interface module.
It's happened 9 or 10 times in two years ... Try to start it - nothing...try again-still completely dead. Sit back wondering what i'm going to do,and the truck will start all by itself while i'm not touching anything. Have spoken to numerous mechanics none have heard of it before.
Driving on hwy at 70 mph using adaptive cruise control all of a sudden it applied the brakes. Few days later it did again on hwy nothing around me. Stopped using it after second time. Lucky no one was behind me. Then after i got to my disination the next morning stater my truck first i noticed no power to the front driver & passanger windows then no a/c / climate control, no mirror control so started driving it then noticed tire warning light on but wouldn't show the tire pressures looked at tires and looked like they where fine. When leaving store was backing up and almost hit a car my warning sensor didn't go off now i noticed that all of my safety devices on this truck was not working. Now i'm wondering if my airbags are active. Drove back home from virginia to tennessee about 6 hr drive very carfuly. Next day straight to ford dealer and is still there as i'm writing this. Very unsafe to drive. Did notice on the adaptive cruise control issue there was a recall on the 2015 models but didn't see any on the 2016.

The tailgate opens on its own randomly while parked and when moving. This first started happening in the fall of 2018 and i still on going and happen to me again this weekend 1/14/2020ford had issued a recall for this issue on 2017 and newer trucks but mine is not listed in the recall. How do i get it added to the recall to fix this safety problem.the recall covers f-250, f-350 and f-450 trucks from the 2017 through 2019 model years. All the trucks have electric tailgate latch release switches in the tailgate handle.ford says water can get into the electrical wiring and cause a short circuit, activating the switches and releasing the latches. That could allow loose cargo to fall onto the road.
Rear defroster shorted out. Overheated and caught the plastics on fire.the window then shattered from the excess heat from the rear defrost.the vehicle was in motion on the highway. Outside temp was 28 degrees.rear defrost and heat were on for the vehicle.while traveling, the vehicle began to smoke internally.the car was pulled over, and shut off.the smoke stopped and the window shattered.the plastic and seat surrounding the rear defrost connection to the window were melted.
2016 ford f-150 2.7l ecoboost model with only 3,928 miles. This is the third time engine has cut off on me while driving/accelerating! was taking a left turn from side road onto main road. While accelerating in the turn, engine started stuttering a few times (rpms would dip) and then it stalled out. Luckily i was able to complete my left hand turn without getting hitting by oncoming traffic and was able to pull over immediately. This time around the engine would not restart. Had to call ford's roadside assistance to get towed to nearest dealership. The last two instances the dealer could not pull a code or diagnose what was wrong so nothing was done. This time the dealership has a dead truck on arrival so they can't tell me that there is nothing wrong with it (service and diagnostics has yet to be completed at the time of this writing). I have been in touch with ford regional rep regarding my cases and i am told they cannot do anything until the dealer can diagnose what the root cause is. Obviously something is wrong. There are dozens of other complaints of engine stalling while driving.
Stalls at when at idol at stop lights. Mechanics can't find out why. No warnings lights in cash come on
(1)i purchased my truck in january, 2017.(2)on monday, feb. 6, 2017 ' i noted the first electric issues as the truck provided a warning indicator that my brake fluid was low. Later in the day, the indicator went away.(3)on wednesday, feb. 8, 2017, the electric error messages reappeared. I called the ford service hotline in the morning and was told to take the truck to a qualified ford service shop. (4)later in the day on 2/8/17 (around lunch) ' i took the truck to ford service shop. At that time, the service tech performed a 'factory-reset' (his term) of the battery. After performing the reset ' i was cleared to leave dealer and i left the service area. (5)i then exited the service compound. After leaving the service shop, my truck shut off in the middle of an intersection. After several attempts to jump the truck with a jump box, the truck was towed back to ford dealership for another service. My truck was kept for several days for further service. (6)on friday, march 3, 2017, the electric warnings manifested again. I immediately took the truck to ford for service. Upon arriving at service station, the warning lights had turned off. The service tech tried multiple times to trigger the error, but it did not come back on. I was instructed to leave and come back when they came back on. I left the service area. (7)a short time later, the warnings came back on and i returned to the service center. This time the warning lights remained on and my truck was immediately taken for service.
Today when i turned on the rear window defogger in my 2012 ford f150 the indicator light did not come on. After three or four tries it came on. Within minutes i heard a pop and the glass on passenger side of the rear slider popped. The glass is in tact but broken.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. When the contact attempted to roll down the front passenger and driver side windows, the windows would suddenly go up. The contact called koons ford of baltimore (located at 6970 security blvd, windsor mill, md 21244, 410-298-3800), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 33,000. The vin was unknown.
Driving down the highway, doing about 60 to 65 mph, noticed that i was slowing down slightly, went to give it more gas, looked down at the dashboard and realized that the engine wasn't on (no rpms on tachometer).the screen on the dashboard had a service warning for the parking brake with a lightning bolt idiot light on (not sure what it was, didn't get the chance to look in the manual).i don't know if the power steering/brakes went out, since i was moving fast enough to steer fairly easily, and i'm strong enough to press a brake pedal.after i got it pulled over, i put it in park, tried to start it again, wasn't able to.called roadside assistance, got a tow truck. Notice the screen that has stuff like clock, temp, date, media info was stuck at the time it shutoff.no other electrical systems seemed to work, i.e. Power windows, emergency flashers, ignition.was also locked in park, couldn't get it into neutral for the tow truck. After it got onto the tow truck, the exterior lights flashed while driving to the dealership to service it, got to dealer and when it came time to get it off the truck, it started right back up again, didn't appear to have any service messages show up.brand new truck, about 1100 miles on it, no accidents, no off-roading, haven't even changed the oil yet, haven't touched anything under the hood besides the oil dipstick.at the dealership, nothing seemed to be loose under the hood (electrical wise). Attached is a picture similar to what i saw (again, 65 on the highway, not really an ideal time for documentation).

First time it happen i took it to dealer they start they couldn't figure out problem and change throttle body for me. Couple week pass same thing starts happening againcurrently at the dealer.....
Vehicle looses power without warning during routine driving and cannot be recovered. Warnings on dashboard display show "service advancetrac" and "hill start assist" along with all engine warning lights. Pressing down on gas pedal does nothing, must pull over and turn off ignition and turn back on to restore power. Happens numerous times and randomly. Occurred when driving on highway at 70mph and while on side streets at 45mph. Below is a link to video of the behavior. Vehicle is 2016 ford f150 purchased brand new with no previous issues and 7700 miles.https://1drv.ms/f/s!ahzq4p0k1fqii7u1moy63ityroiqfg
Driving eastbound on i-10 at 75 -80 mph, on a mountain, suddenly advanctrac fault warning and engine power lost. Vehicle entered limp mode. I was forced to 'limp' on the shoulder to reach a safe area to stop with cell service and wait for a tow truck. This was a very dangerous situation. Semi traffic at high speeds were blowing past very little shoulder space to navigate. At each guard rail i was forced to stop - wait for a break in traffic- restart and pray for enough momentum to get around the area. I finally limped into wilcox az and contacted ford roadside assistance. The vehicle was towed 74 miles to smith ford in lordsburg nm $280. Fra advised that due to covid 19 no personal transportation is available. No alternate transportation is available in wilcox az.smith ford service does not open until monday. Another roadside service $205 put computer on it. Code p2112 throttle actuator 'a' control system stuck closed. Pyramid roadside service found damaged wiring behind accelerator pedal and loose pedal. I had to walk alone in the desert to find a hotel. I eventually walked another 2 miles pulling a suitcase to a grayhound station to phoenix sunday (274 miles).i will contact dealer tomorrow.ford has been aware customer satisfaction program to replace defective etb 2015 & 2016 f150. I purchased may 5, 2019 and was not made aware of potentially dangerous situation. No recall was issued for this dangerous defect. Not only could i have been seriously injured on the interstate, i was put in very high risk situations both due to covid 19 high risk in this part of the country but also my personal safety being alone without transportation in an area with limited resources. Thus far i am out of pocket $800.00 and do not know what additional expenses i may incur until my truck is repaired. I live in papillion, ne and have a long way to go to get back home.
I have a 2016 f150 with issues similar to nhtsa complaint id# 10127407.the problems are not intermittent, the part has failed & is not available from ford at this time.the air conditioning quits completely & you cannot run the fan at all.you cannot roll down any windows in the vehicle & the vehicle gets well over 90 degrees inside while driving.this is a huge safety issue because when this doesn't work it also disables the airbags of the vehicle, cross traffic alert as well as tire pressure monitor failure along with other safety features.the seats no longer retract or move forward when the vehicle is started/shutoff.the key fob intermittently will not lock the doors of the vehicle & the alert on the truck says key not found.with the warm temperatures and no way to roll down the windows or turn on the ac or a blower fan makes this vehicle extremely unsafe to operate.
I turned on the rear defroster & the cabin started smoking.i pull over to get out to breathe, one minute later the back windshield shatters completely.
While diving onto an interstate on ramp, the back glass shattered. Nothing struck the glass, it just broke.when the window was replaced, it was discovered the rear defroster wiring had burned both on the window and in the truck.the rear defroster overheated the window and caused it to shatter. It nearly started a fire.
Rear defrost was turned on and within seconds the cabin was engulfed in a white smokeand strong electrical fire smell. As i was pulling over, the rear window exploded.
Since i purchased my truck there has been issues with the backup camera.the dealer replaced the apim and had to keep the vehicle for three weeks to trace a bad wire.it has been 10 months and the camera has failed again.i feel as if this is a wider spread issue. Ford even expanded the warranty for the previous years apims.
Vehicle was started and sitting in our home driveway.before backing out of the driveway, i smelled smoke and noticed smoke coming from behind the rear passenger seat.i turned off the vehicle and lowered the rear passenger seat to investigate.the smoke was coming from the box in the lower left corner of the back glass.seconds later, a loud explosion from the box and the back glass shattered with the exception of the center sliding portion.
Faulty instrument cluster with less than 60,000 miles. Started the vehicle up, and all gauges and lights failed to illuminate. Took to dealership, diagnosed as bad cluster. A recall affected 2017 models for this same exact issue, yet my 2016 which was produced 2 months before the models affected by the recall is not covered. (nhtsa campaign # 17v053000)ford motor company has refused to help in the matter and suggested i file a complaint here.
On multiple occasions the power steering, turn signals, 4x4, and lights went out. The dealer has been unable to solve the problem after multiple service visits. They told me to wait till it goes out again. Most of the time, when the electrical system goes out, it is when i first start the car. One time, the system went out while i was merging into traffic and i nearly wrecked the vehicle.
I had just dropped off my son at daycare and turned on the defrosters. I was sitting in the parking lot at work, and the vehicle was completely stationary at the time. A rank, burning smell filled the truck and i immediately turned it off. Seconds later a loud "pop" occurred and the rear window completely shattered. There are small pieces of glass throughout the bed and inside the back seat. Thank god my child was not in the vehicle when it happened, and that i turned off the car before the entire thing engulfed in flames.
I have a critical safety issue with the 2016 f150 truck i bought from cavalier ford, chesapeake va.the issue is the 6r80 automatic transmission unexpectedly changes gears while driving.in my case the truck down shifted from high gear to low gear on theinterstate while driving about 70 miles per hour.i was fortunate no other carswere near me.my truck almost came to a stop, no brake lights displayed.this occurred the week on jul 6 2021. It has occurred multiple times since than as well. I had the battery checked, showed bad, and bought a new one jul 9th.i also had the "check engine" light scanned at autozone.it revealed codes p0706/707, ie range sensor inside the transmission.i called cavalier for an appt (aug 11th almost a month away!!!),informed it would be $140 for a diagnostic!!it was free at autozone. I also had another free scan done at logan's auto repair onjul 22nd, having codes p0702/705/706/707/1921, all pointing to the range sensor in the tranny.i spoke with cavalier representative nicole on jul 16th, no help, and also left service mgr. Cathy hunt. A voicemail on jul 23rd explaining my dilemma.she has not returned my call.my status now, i have a 2016 f150 ford truck, i urgently need to work and daily errands, ie grandkids.there was a recall on this issue on the 2011/12 f150s.how come not now, its a major safety issue, and i see a lot of these trucks around.i wanted to convey this to ms hunt.summary...the motor in this truck blew up at approx 39000 miles,and ford did replace it.now, at 79000 miles the transmission is also gone out. Since my extended warranty of 75000 just expired, i need some assistance from eithercavalier or the ford plant.i need a reliable truck for work and taking careof the grandkids.if no one has reached out to me my cob jul 28th 2021,a safety complaint will be sent in to the national highway traffic safety administration...thank you
Door locks may not function in sub freezing weather meaning your doors may not lock or you may be trapped inside as they will not unlock
Electric system went down, no lights,turn signals,horn wipers, etc. (radio kept working)engine started and drove home very carefully
Radio goes blank screen may go 30 miles before comes back .when comes back clock is still right time ,programmed station still there had it to ford dealership they says shows low voltage the truck has 9.000 miles just turn 3 years old 1/31/20 still suppose to under warranty he asked me if i had extended told him no had 3 more days after today been in dealer 2 timesthey say i need to drive more i know where they get low voltage sets in garage month or more and battery goes down done several times talked service department they told me to 1 or 2 amp charger on plugged in when goes to set for while i spent 60 yearsworking onvehicleis not voltage i believe it a bad groundorbad connection also lights on heater controls goes dim some times then they comewhat upsets me they charged me $45.plus for checking car when it should not be under warranty
Rear glass exploded.rear de-frost turned on, electrical circuit issue caused rear glass to over heat and burn up, along with cold external weather causing very hot glass explosion while driving sending glass pieces everywhere.glass particles very fine and caused scratches and bleeding.
Freezing door latches causing the door not to stay shut in cold temperatures or open the door can fly open because you think that it is shut while you're driving down the road causing damage to the door losing personal belongings and if a occupant is not seatbelted flying out of the vehicle the doors on these trucks will not latch when you shut the door they bounce back open and then sometimes you think their latched and they're not then taking a turn and the door swings open ford is aware of this problem they have put out tsb's and fsa in order to try to repair it with no success i personally have had my truck in the shop for this issue 5 to 6 times with no fix this is very dangerous and scares my kids that are inside the back of my truck when their door flying open or when they have to hold it shut while we're driving down the road to school
On 1/16/2020. I used my remote starter to start the 2016 ford f-150 3 minutes later i went out and smelled electrical wiring. I shut off the truck to look around. I then started the truck back up as soon as i did that the back window blew out.. Called safelite to replace it them on 1/21/20 they replaced it. Then when starting the truck at the safelite shop it blew out again. Called ford dealerships and none of them heard of it doing it.
Tailgate opens by itself.has happened while driving at least once (that i know of because i have a bed cap on that has held it in place).the one time i noticed it i was towing a trailer and was fortunate that the tailgate did not get wedged between the trailer jack on a turn.i have now noticed that the tailgate will open and the latch mechanism will continue to fire even after the tailgate is down,
Rear defogger on sliding rear window has become completely disconnected. Poor design. When automatically opening sliding rear window, the defogger mechanism gets caught on rear seat eventually, this lead to the rear defogger disconnecting and breaking off from his housing.
When the temperature outside goes below freezing, my door locks freeze and you cannot get into the vehicle. The vehicle was sitting outside in my driveway, and is inoperable. This problem has been reported by many other ford owners on the internet.
Probably about 95% of the time when using my back up camera has a distorted image with lines and colors thought out the whole screen.
Purchased used 2016 f-150 in oct 2017.shortly after purchase tailgate would randomly open while vehicle was in motion.power tailgate would also open when key fob was used to lock vehicle.tail lights would also illuminate brightly as if brakes were applied when they were not when vehicle was in motion.other times tail lights would flicker on and off when vehicle was in motion.when computer was scanned no trouble codes were found.eventually after several trips to bmw dealership in spokane wa where vehicle was purchased vehicle was taken to wendle ford in spokane wa.at wendle ford technicians found extremely frayed wiring harness in area at rear of truck where bed and frame meet.wendle tech's said that they had never seen this type of damage / defect before, and when checking with ford corporate there were no service bulletins reference this type of problem. This description of events was prompted after reading a news report of ford super duty trucks exhibiting tail gate openings while vehicle in motion.all service notes and documentation can be obtained through wendle ford, spokane wa
The locks on my truck froze in winter and as my wife was goin down interstate the doorcame open and i've went to the dealership where i got it nd they refuse ta fix my recalls and told me it would be 4 days without a vehicle and i'm active military and can not go without a vehicle they offered no car ta me and we're rude and not willing ta show me which of the 10 recalls on my truck if any had been fixed .i just bought this truck in 2019 and am having nuthin but issues and i believe it ta be a lemon and the dealer is of no help.
Truck experienced multiple sensor failures over several months that reset.failures include car stalling in intersection, blind spot monitoring, back up sensors, car shutting off and turning back on on its own.car had to be powered down and shut off for 30 seconds before being allowed to restart.most recent failure resulted in truck horn going off as well as car turning off while going 35-40 mph then restarting on its own - car surged forward after it restarted itself.at the same time hazards coming on, doors unlocking and locking and rear tailgate opening.after bringing car to a complete stop, shut off car and it turned itself back on (horn went off, hazards went on, doors unlocked and locked, and rear tail gate released).towed to dealership for repairs and they were unable to recreate the problem.
I have taken my 2016 ford f-150 in to have the radio fixed three time, because when i go to start my truck the radio doesn't power up. It has just a blank screen. It is an intermittent problem, but ford has refused to fix the problem. I have seen multiple complaints online over the same problem. Ford is not assisting me in resolving the problem and i was told by them to contact you.
I experienced an electrical failure that was intermittent at first but became worst over time.with this failure i would lose steering and vehicle advance track as well as abs brake function.when electrical power was lost the electrical power steering would stop functioning causing complete lose of steering.this caused me to cross into oncoming traffic, luckily there was no one in the oncoming lane.the dealer found a wire going to the alternator that had worn through causing an over voltage condition.this caused many of the systems, including steering, to shut down.in my research this is not the only occurrence of this issue.my vehicle has 42,000 miles on it.i would guess this will become a much more common issue with time.
The complete instrument panel went out. The only thing that worked werethe head lights and tail lightsthe dealer fixed it but don't know what caused it. On a highway about 40 mph
Driving normally on four lane divided state road when warnings about various system failures came up on dash (traction control, braking, charging system).power steering stopped working first then truck shut down.got jump started thinking battery or alternator and truck drove normally for a few minutes then same scenario repeated.
Ongoing issue with door latches not operating when temperatures are below freezing. The door will not latch unless the door is locked.it seems it then is unable to be unlocked remotely or by power locks. Only way is to manually open the door from inside the cab. I have a safety concern ofn this issue as the door not latching may open while in motion.
Back in november 2018 i had my first fault. My brake fluid low sensor came on. It was intermittent at for about 10 miles and than went away. Did not another issue until mid december. The light cam back on and over the course of the day, it did not go off. I then disconnected the the sensor so that i did not have to continuously have to listen to the dinging all the time. I also made an appointment with a dealership to fix the problem. They checked the codes and found nothing. Kept it for twos and returned it saying they can not find a problem and to bring it back when the problem come back.yesterday, the light came back on intermittent and i got some video of it this time. It only acted up for a short time before going away again. This morning i went to use the truck and and used the remote start to start it. It ran for about 5 mins or so and i got in and turned the key on and put it on reverse. Then all [xxx] broke lose. Had all kinds of errors come on. Had parking brake not released, service engine, check service manual, dim lights, brake fluid low, parking brake on. The gas pedal does not seem to work. The engine revved to 3000 rpm be itself and only moved like it was in ideal.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Fire and lots of smoke inside my truck when i used my remote start inside my garage ...dropped back seat, pulled carpet back and witness and recorded a burnt wire hanging down across rear window that kept burning and never stopped/popped a fuse or relay until i shut down the remote start. Ford dealership said it was the rear defroster that automatically turns on when using remote start ...replaced entire back window and wire harness split cost with ford not under warranty '.
The vehicle has failed electronically on several instances.generally the center control panel will not come on which means the radio does not work.other times the fan blower will also not come. In the worst instance, none of the lights will come on nor the instrument panel to be able to know how fast i am driving, temperature, alerts, or anything that needs power other than to start/drive the truck.i also noted when i shifted gears on the transmission, it did not indicate what gear/driving mode the vehicle was actually in.this has occurred on no less than a half down instances. The dealer has not been able to replicate the issue as it is intermittent since i purchased the vehicle brand new off the lot.it has not occurred after everything is already operational while driving, only at startup/ignition point. I have attempted to reset it multiple times by turning the vehicle off/on and removing the key from the ignition but it does not seem to solve the problem as it randomly comes about and then randomly goes away.it does not appear to be affected by bumps (loose wire) or even tapping the dash to see if anything changes.i have also pulled the main fuses that control these areas and found no problems with the fuses.resetting the entire system did not also have an affect by disconnecting the battery but did work in one instance however it did not in others.
The contact owned a 2016 ford f-150. While the contact was on vacation, the vehicle caught fire in the driveway. The contact's child was at home, saw the vehicle on fire, and called the fire department. The fire department extinguished the fire. A police report was filed. There were no injuries. The cause of the failure was not determined. The contact's insurance company deemed the vehicle totaled. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The failure mileage was unknown.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at 55 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate without warning and lost power. The hill decent warning light illuminated. The failure recurred several other times. The vehicle was taken to the cella ford dealer located at 3210 doctor m.l.k. Jr blvd, new bern, nc 28562; (252) 638-4011 where the dealer was not able to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted and was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 7,700. The vin was not available.
Remote start was activated with my truck backed into my driveway up to my garage.after several minutes i came out to my truck and observed the rear windshield to be shattered and glass all over my child's car seat.after closer inspection, the area around where the defrost wire connects to glass had a obvious burn pattern and glass was spider webbed out from that location.ford would not stand behind their failed parts and would not repair.
While traveling on interstate at a speed of 80 mph, my 2016 f-150 eco boost with 50,000 miles went into limp mode due to a faulty electronic throttle body causing me to lose the ability to accelerate and worrying for my family's life as i was decelerating on a busy 4 lane freeway trying to find a way to pull over without being smashed.
On january 22 2018 at approximately 11:00 p.m., i started my truck with the remote start, which activates the rear window defroster, as needed. On my 20 mile ride home from work, mostly freeway driving, i heard crackling noises, and i was watching in the rear view mirror, my entire rear window shattering, except for the center power sliding piece. When i got home, pieces of glass fell inside the cab and bed when i closed the door. Ford is aware of this issue, but they refuse to repair it. In the meantime, i am forced to pay $500 deductible for my insurance to repair it, even though i had purchased the extended warranty when i bought it brand new. It has approximately 15,000 miles on it now. Researching this problem, i believe it is a defect in the glass, causing it to shatter when the defroster warms up the glass.
While driving the interior instrument lights suddenly come on park brake, 4x4, air bag, traction,abs, advance trac, and steering assist. During this process the brakes engage & then you can hear thescrubbing sound of the brakes.this has happened multiple times. I've returned it to the dealer for service 3 times, after a month of diagnostic testing & road testing the steering system failed on the serviceman while driving it. They informed me that they want to return the vehicle to me without making any repairs because it has not re initiated this process in the last 3 days. This is a safety hazard for me and any other vehicle on the road. Ford has informed me that if the steering goes out while driving call roadside to bring it back. Total disregard for my safety and or anyone else. This event occurs while driving, it also shows these readings upon starting the vehicle. This has happened under 30,000 miles and over that threshold. It has happened on multiple occasions.
It's inexcusable for a clock spring to go out on a pickup that has less than 40k on the odometer. Ford's are great vehicles, but this little electrical issue, which comes at no fault of my own, will cost me between $300.00 to $400.00. Mind you, this clock spring went out in june 2019, and please explain to me how (i) broke something within the steering wheel and behind the air bag? i don't recall if i was stationary, in motion, on a city street, or on the highway. I do know one day i tried to honk my horn and it didn't work. I tried to reset my trip odometer another day and it didn't work. I tried to set me cruise control-no go. I tried to control my stereo/hands free blue tooth, nope. It took me digging on the net to find out what would cause a horn and the above mentioned issues to suddenly stop working, but interestingly still works with the anti-theft engaged. If i need to change my driving habits by not steering my truck, ford should have let me know. Btw, i had a ford escape before this truck, and when trading it in the dealership described my instrument cluster as a christmas tree, but with all those electrical issues, i guess the clock spring never went out.
Owned 2016 f150 since may 2016.been in shop 6x now for electrical problems.replaced fuel pump multiple times, and powertrain control module, still no power from 7 pt. Wiring harness to camper. Apparently others are having the same problem - "i am also having this same problem on my new 2016; no 12v power at the 7 pin trailer plug. I have a dual port 12 volt power adapter that plugs in the 7 pin plug to run 12v accessories like a small air compressor etc. (like this https://www.amazon.ca/reese-towpower...204460_te_item) i just tried it yesterday for the first time and it had no power. I bench tested the adapter and it is working. When looking at the plug at the back of the truck, the negative (-) is at the 1 oclock postion and postive (+) is at the 7 oclock. I put a multi meter on those trailer plug pins with the truck running and no power. On the dash computer i entered that i had my trailer hooked up and still no 12v at those two pins. The turn signals (pins at 9 oclock and 3 oclock respectively) and running lights (pin at 5 oclock) has 12v power.the tech came out with a shop made board they have for checking trailer wiring. With the truck running, trailer connected on the dash and even added a "new" trailer still no power! he plugged in the shop computer and could not see what the problem is. So the dealership it stumped. They will be "calling detroit" to see if they have a solution.so, turn signals work, running lights work, brakes work but not 12v dc. So, if you have a camper, while driving you will not have power for your fridge or interior camper lights, charging camper battery etc.contacted ford, they recommended filing a complaint with you
Vehicle was stationary.just started the vehicle and the rear window defroster turned on by itself.moments later the rear window shattered.
Same issue as report 11308430 - activated remote start with truck in driveway; when i came out to drive away, the rear windshield was shattered. The climate settings are set to the factory default for remote start. There was no indication of the defroster connection issue mentioned because this was a warm summer day and the default setting indicates that the defroster should not have engaged and the dealership saw no evidence that it did. The truck is certified pre-owned, but ford claimed this to be an issue with the glass, which is not covered under this warranty, thus ford was unwilling to provide assistance with the repair cost.
Electric tailgate release opens on its own, without any input from operator.can be parked, or in motion, driving forward or reverse.happens randomly.
Moments after turning on my car and the heater, my kids started complaining of a strong burning smell. We drove the 5 minutes to school, then i drove 5 minutes home. By the time i arrived home, my back window was cracked and starting to break and there was a very strong burning smell. You could also hear a crackling sound near the back window. This was when the vehicle was stationary.
I remote started the truck while parked in my driveway first thing in the morning, while i got my son ready for daycare. The weather conditions was raining and roughly 35 degrees. Once my son was loaded into the car seat i closed his door and heard the window crack. I looked back to see the back rear windshield had spider webbed and shattered. The glass was blown from the inside out on the driver side. I have photos of were the defrost strip had arced/separated causing the window to shatter. I looked online and saw several otherexamples of this on the exact same model of truck. I was recommended to prevent this in the future was to pull the defrost fuse.
Ford has just recalled 700,00 vehicles of various 2020 models due to the rear-view camera, which features a circuit board that can be faulty resulting in "blank or distorted images" on the screen.i am submitting this complaint as i believe this issue affects other model years, specifically the 13th generation f-150. I have a 2016 f-150 that is experiencing the same symptoms as described in the current recall and of which i have reviewed several complaints posted across multiple forums.this issue present a significant safety concern as visibility behind the vehicle is lost when the camera malfunctions.i have included an image of my camera when vehicle is placed in reverse.i am requesting that the nhtsa encourage ford to expand their recall to include all affected models as they must be aware the issue is broader that what is being communicated.i am including the links which include the comments of several consumers that are experiencing these same symptoms. You will see these discussions go back several years.https://www.f150forum.com/f118/backup-camera-intermittent-issues-415191/https://www.f150ecoboost.net/threads/rear-view-camera-problems.5086/https://www.f150forum.com/f118/bad-backup-camera-366868/https://www.f150forum.com/f118/rear-360-camera-issues-453187/
I had my truck towed to auto fair ford and had to have the fuel pump replaced with $100 extended warranty and the car is a year old. After fixing it they were having issues with it not startingand called ford to trouble shoot the issue. Today 3/2/18 they called to say a mouse or rodent chewed through the wiring. I have lived i'm my home since 1999 and many cars in the drive way this has never happened before. My brother said the wiring is soy based. I called liberty mutual insurance and comprehensive has a $500 deductible. They will look at the truck 3/5/18 at auto fair ford in manchester nh. I now have to pay$600 to a vehicle i have owned less then 5 months to auto fair ford. Seems odd this is happing on a new vehicle
Purchased my 2016 ford f150, brand new.during cold temperatures the door locks do not unlock and if you are able to get unlocked the doors do not lock nor latch.if in the event i was in traveling in cold temperatures, i would be locked in my vehicle cause a safety concern for my two infants and wife and i.spoke to ford manufacturer and ford service dept, they are aware of the issue and there is a back order of parts, since january of 2017, when i started have issues with my vehicle. I am seeking legal advice in getting vehicle bought back from ford company, minus depreciation.
While driving to work strong elec smell and rear window exploded sounded like gun went off shattering window
Sync 3 disconnects from phone, freezes up while driving causing hazardous condition, known problems and ford has know real fix
Was stopped at red light in greensboro nc. Light turned green and i started to drive straight through the intersection when there was a complete loss of throttle response. I had to finish going through the intersection by momentum of the vehicle and gravity since there was no power. Fortunately there was no one else at the intersection or i'm sure i would have been hit. Was told by local ford dealer, green ford, problem was a defective "throttle body". 2nd ford vehicle i have been in, in less than a month, that this has happened (2015 f150-same defect - throttle body). Huge concern for safety of those of us who drive fords.
Rear tailgate opens on it's own while driving.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While the vehicle was stationary, fumes entered the cabin of the vehicle from the air conditioning system. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 17,000. Updated 01/05/2017*ct
Almost exactly the same experience as incident numbers 11090030, 11063919, and 11048673.there may be others, but, i didn't go any further.i was driving on a bridge without any safety shoulders and the vehicle suddenly lost all power, "hill start assist not available" indicator came on, "service advance trac" indicator came on, and "see manual" indicator came on with the wrench symbol.after nearly being rear-ended by another car, i was able to coast to an off ramp and pull over.the truck was shaking violently.i shut it off and then restarted it and was able to get back over the bridge but then the same exact scenario happened again on the other side.on the way home, it happened a couple more times but i was able to get it home.i scheduled a service appointment at a ford dealer to take the truck in on monday.the vehicle has about 43,000 miles on it.as i mentioned earlier, i was almost rear-ended by another vehicle when this occurred, so, this is an extremely dangerous malfunction.
The contact owned a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated that while her husband was driving approximately 30-40 mph, 2 miles down the road there was an electrical burning odor coming from the vehicle. The driver exited the vehicle and opened the rear passenger side door where it was discovered that there were flames. The contact was unable to extinguish the fire. The police was called, they extinguished the fire. It was unknown if a report was filed on the incident. The vehicle was towed to an impound lot. The insurance company determined that the vehicle was destroyed. The contact also mentioned that the vehicle was repaired back in february 2019 under nhtsa campaign number: 18v568000 (seat belts, structure) by the dealer (david mcdavid ford fort worth, 300 w loop 820 s, fort worth, tx 76108). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired after the fire. The approximate failure mileage was 48,000.
Back up camera fails intermittently.image obscured by static.
Have had this vehicle to dealer multiple times with complaint of hearing rattling under vehicle and in steering column along with noise from right front brake area.also with complaints of vehicles wandering left and right on highway regardless of road crown.have asked specifically to check the electric steering to ensure not faulty.all these complaints while still under original warranty.today, two weeks after last visit, steering locks up while driving and i cannot turn the vehicle.fortunately, i was on my property going slow and was able to stop safely.i was driving home and drove 30 miles on the interstate doing 70mph.glad the steering did not freeze then.shut the vehicle off and then restarted it and got the 'steering assist fault service required' on the cluster along with a bunch of other symbols.the sync screen came up and froze and could not be cleared nor was it responsive to any other selections on screen.i think this is an electrical issue with either the electric steering, a sensor or possible low or interrupted voltage.this vehicle has no voltage gauge for battery nor was there any indicator that warned of a low voltage issue when the steering wheel would not turn.is nhtsa waiting for someone to be killed with this problem before it is investigated?i am waiting until monday when dealer opens to have them come get this vehicle.i am afraid to even attempt to do anything to it to drive it to dealer for service.i am uploading the latest service invoice for this issue.dealer has consistently stated there was nothing wrong.
Door latches 'freeze' and will not engage in cold weather (vehicle is parked outside and in cold weather this is frequent problem).this problem had previous recall / repair but fix is not working.rear window defroster does not work in one section of 3 part window (has onepart of three section - section on drivers side).vehicle has 30,000 miles.window sections that do work get hot
I have a 2016 f150 lariat. While stationary and in motion my rear blindspot spot moduale keeps showing on my dash covering my sperdometer. When this happens i lose my heat, airbags, gps, front power windows, power mirrors and power seats. I've been checking online of this problem and sounds quite common. This was happening about 3 times a day for about 2 weeks and now it stays to where its constant. Seeing this is on going with these vehicles i think the dealerships should be reliable to fix this expensive ongoing problem. The ford dealership in utica, ny wants 1500.00 dollars to fix this problem.
Loaded up my 6 year old son and 3 year old daughter in carseats in the rear of a 4 door f150. Started vehicle turned on rear defrost. Within 30 seconds, the rear corner behind my child's seat started to smoke. 30 seconds more and the entire back window shattered. Not only was this very dangerous with two young children in the back seat, it was very traumatic for them
I was driving and there was the smell of burning electronics and my truck cabin filled with smoke. I pulled over, and saw the defroster on the rear window was smoking. I exited the vehicle, opened my doors to let the smoke out, and all of a sudden i heard an explosion like a gun shot and the rear glass glass shattered.
On january 10 2017, at approximately 7:45 a.m. After dropping off my 3 kids at school, the rear window on my 2016 ford f-150 exploded and shattered after the rear window defroster was activated.
First all the steering wheels controls (including turn signals) didn't work.the next time i started the truck everything worked again.the following week i took the truck into local dealer to determine cause.they said there communication errors but did some re-programming.drove truck home and when i turned into my driveway i received a message the parking brake had an error.took it back to same dealer and they kept it two days and could not find the problem.
My wife left work around 445 pm on 12/27/18, when she started the vehicle prior to putting the vehicle in drive the lights on the dashboard (instrument cluster alone with the radio display) do not come on(total blackout), this is not the first time(2 times prior to this date) this has happen to her but we have notice this occurring during cold weather periods. So my wife drove about 4 miles thinking the light would come on, which they did not, so she pulled into a business parking lot, parked the vehicle and turn it off for about 3 minutes. She then turned on the vehicle at which time all the dashboard lights came on.
When driving the vehicle on freeways with adaptive cruise control enabled, if the vehicle approaches a vehicle in an adjacent lane (typically a larger vehicle like a truck with a trailer, semi, or tanker) the collision aid activates and heavily applies the brakes. If someone is following close behind me, as has happened in at least 4 instances, the individual will need to stop and make an emergency maneuver to avoid colliding. In both cases, the braking only lasted momentarily but was enough to reduce the vehicles speed 20-30 mph during that time. The vehicle has been inspected by ford but they have said that there is nothing that they can do. For the time being, we keep this feature disabled until ford can get this issue resolved. There have been recalls for previous years but ours is not included. Because of this ford has said there's nothing they can do on multiple attempts to get the problem resolved.
In about january of 2017, while still under warranty, my truck started experiencing irregular function of the sync iii system. In about march of 2017 the system stopped functioning properly at any time. At that time it had about 37,000miles on it. By the time i could get it to the ford dealer it had about 39,000 miles. Ford denied any obligation to repair. Some of the major reasons i purchased the vehicle were to abilities of the sync iii system such as: (1)the gps map system and the ability to input destinations and receive driving instructions, (2) the hands free blue tooth telephone connections, (3) the backup camera, and the touch screen menu. All of these were important safety features. None of them work and ford wanted $1,500.00 to replacethe "apim" module, which purportedly would make it work again. In addition, while backing in to a parking place, in about november of 2017, i could not see a pole set in concrete because of malfunction of the camera, and backed into it, damaging my bumper to the tune of about $1,200.00 replacement cost. Worse yet, that could have been a child or other person. Occasionally the backup camera works, but stays on while driving down the street.
Driving down the road we smelled smoke and my back sliding window shattered and blew out.took it to the dealership and they wouldn't give a complete estimate. Called ford corp and of course they are dragging their feet. The rear defrost wasn't even activated at the time that it shorted out.ihave researched the problem and it has been a major issue with fords for years.
Horn not working.i purchased a brand new 2016 ford f-150 in 2016. I am the first and only owner and i noticed 2 days ago my horn all of a sudden stopped working when i press on the horn but it will sound when i hit my alarm button on my key fob. The vehicle has not been in any accidents, i checked all the fuses and they are working and have a current running through them. After some research (within google and f-150 forums) a lot of people are having issues with this and having to replace their clock springs.

The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. After activating the rear window defroster, the rear defroster wiring began to smoke. Moments later, the rear window shattered. The vehicle was taken to five star ford (6618 ne loop 820, north richland, tx) where it was diagnosed that the defroster wiring was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired and the failure was remedied. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 32,000.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving, the check engine and wrench icon indicators illuminated, which instructed the driver to call the dealer immediately and not to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to butler county ford (400 s main st, butler, pa 16001, (724) 287-2766) where it was noticed that rodents chewed through the wires. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 18,000.
Advancetrac came on hill start assist not available came on motor didn't die but the gas wouldn't work so i had to pull over and turn vehicle off and restart it and then it didn't want to start after it restarted it goes away and you can continue to drive idk what it could be but i find it very dangerous it's happened 4 times in 2 days
While driving on the highway at approx. 60mph my ford 2016 f150 3.5l v6 lurched and stalled, experiencing a complete loss of power, throttle control and acceleration.this was the 7th throttle malfunction my f150 has experienced in the past 5 months.each malfunction exactly the same.since i am now forced to only travel in the far right lanes for safety, i had enough remaining momentum to veer my f150 off of the highway and bring it to a complete stop.with some effort my f150 struggled but was able to restart and traveling a low speeds i made it safely home.due to the dangerous nature of this incident i have taken my f150 to the dealership twice so far.ford believes the issue is the electronic throttle body, but they have been unable to fix the problem.most recently i received my f150 from the dealer only 4 short days ago where they replaced the electronic throttle body, but it had no effect, the problem still exists.the malfunction only occurs during the most dangerous periods of driving, while on the highway/freeway.this malfunction puts the safety of the drivers and their families at risk unnecessarily.i have avoided collisions only by driving and staying in the far right lane at all times.it is only a matter of time before someone else experiences this problem traveling at 65mph on the highway and due to a sudden loss of power and complete acceleration causes a significant traffic accident.i hope this never happens but it is my grave and real concern for my own welfare every time i drive my 2016 f150.
The truck has had issues with the hillassist failure, then check engine light then wrench light causing the truck to go from 45 mph to 2mph without notice. The throttle bottle also went out on this truck causing the truck to go from 45 mph to 2 mph in traffic, this is the ford wrench light. On two seperate occasions, when starting the truck and releasing the parking brake, a parking brake malfunction light flashes, then when trying to move the truck into gear it will move from park to drive to reverse, but will not move. Please contact me asap. I have a detailed list of dates and occurances along with all email conversations with ford. Ford soes not believe this is a problem and seems to ignore the safety concerns.
Was driving straight down a highway. Truck warning lights started appearing on the dash hill descent control fault, hill assist fault, service advance trac. Turn signals would not work and gas pedal was unresponsive. Truck slowed to almost a complete stop and began shaking violently as the engine was about to die.
Rear defogger on sliding rear window has become completely disconnected. Poor design. When automatically opening sliding rear window, the defogger mechanism gets caught on rear seat eventually, this lead to the rear defogger disconnecting and breaking off from his housing.
I've had the truck unresponsive to acceleration twice with advancetrac warnings and hill descent warnings. Each time i was able to get the going again by stopping the truck, putting in park, turning off the ignition, and then restarting. I'm afraid to drive a two year old truck with less than 20,000 miles. The truck is at the dealer for a week now and they are unable to replicate the issue. Both times the vehicle was moving, once on a street and once in a parking lot, and both times the vehicle was turning.
61,881 miles, numerous advancetrac, hill descent, etc. Warning and check engine lights.stall suddenly in middle lane of traffic at speed of 40 mph.almost caused rear end collision.loss of all power, barely able to drift to shoulder.serious safety issue!research has revealed this is pattern problem in this model and previous versions.
My husband was driving his new 2016 f150 when the truck lost power and the advancetrac light came on.he was in the middle of a busy highway and went from 65 mph - 40 mph in a matter of seconds.he had to navigate to the edge of the highway at a low rate of speed.the dealership advised that it was the actuator throttle being stuck in the closed position.the body was replaced after a week at the dealership. This is a safety concern that this can cause a auto to reduce speed so quickly. Thankfully it did not cause an accident.i have the dealership repair report in the truck.would be happy to provide a copy.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving approximately 30 mph, the advance track failure message illuminated and the vehicle lost acceleration. The contact drove the vehicle home. The vehicle returned to normal once the vehicle was shut off and restarted. The contact stated that the failure recurred. The vehicle was driven to friendly ford (2800 n telegraph road, monroe, michigan 48182) for diagnostic testing, but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was still at the dealer and not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 12625509. The vin was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 17,000.
Rear end collision on i-25 in denver, co 80112 9/28/2016 4 pm, sunny and clear weather, traffic moderately heavy "slow and go" in motion appx 25mph, no injuries
As i was driving down a major interstate i94 while changing lanes my 2016 f150 3.5 ecoboost entered limp mode in front of a semi i just recently passed.the semi had to slam on his brakes and i had to swerve to theside of the road to avoid a collision.the service advancetrac and wrench/service light was lit up on the dash. The vehicle would not move.the truck ran but when the gas pedal was pressed the engine sputtered and wouldnt move.
While driving in the rain i had stopped at an intersection. I turned a corner and accelerated to merge into traffic. The rear wheels spun excessively, causing the vehicle to 'fish-tail' and creating a dangerous situation me and adjacent vehicles. The traction control system was on but did not engage, no indicator lights illuminated on the dash to show it engaged or had an error. The same day i took the vehicle to jim tidwell ford, and rode with the shop foreman on a demo ride to mirror the situation. The shop foreman agreed the traction control should have engaged. However, after running diagnostics the service department said the vehicle was within specification. For comparison, i mentioned that the traction control on the f-250 model works much better, which they agreed was a known inconsistency. The f-150 traction control is ineffective and causes an unsafe driving situation in wet conditions.
Was driving down the highway at 45 mph, all of a sudden advance track service warning appeared, hill descent off, and truck lost all power and began to idea roughly,could not accelerate, was able to pull off the road. Fortunately i have a mechanical background, turned off ignition waited a minute and tried to restart the truck, cranked harder than normal, engine service lite was on, turned off advance track and went a few miles and happened again. Went through same steps and restarted vehicle, was able to drive 10 miles to home. When i started the truck this morning the engine service light was off,went a few miles and same thing happened again. This is a definite serious accident waiting to happen. If you are on an interstate go 70 mph in traffic and this would happen most people would not know what to do. Doing some online searching this seems to be a problem that ford has failed to address , it must take loss of life before this problem is addressed
Hill assist and autotrac malfunction.2016 ford f-150, less than 8,000 miles.warning indicator suddenly comes on and vehicle loses all power going from highway speed to 2mph in seconds without warning.happened 4 times in two weeks on straight, level road, dry and clear conditions.one time was on the highway at 65mph, others were city roads around 25-35mph.one time was after a normal right turn, others just randomly while traveling straight.i took it to the dealer and they replaced the throttle body but researching online, this appears to be a common problem with f-150s.there should be a recall considering the danger posed from a vehicle that suddenly loses power and decelerates without warning.i also read another account where replacing the throttle body did not solve the issue so it remains to be seen if this fix works on my vehicle.
My 2016 f150 has adaptive cruise control ("acc") that applies brakes in the event a vehicle is detected in lane ahead in order to match speed and maintain safe distance. F150 also has collision avoidance system that increases sensitivity of brakes if imminent collision is detected.2015 ford f150 has been subject to a recall (nhtsa campaign number: 15v614000) to fix problems with acc - the acc may falsely detect an obstacle in its path and may unexpectedly apply the brakes increasing the risk of a rear-end collision from a following vehicle.my 2016 f150 was built after the date covered by the recall however it exhibits the exact problem described in the recall i.e. The problem continues to exist with ford's acc system and the recall was insufficient.in my case, on four separate occasions from 3/19 through 3/26/2016 the acc system activated unexpectedly and for no reason, causing heavy braking and in one case almost causing collision with a following vehicle. The collision warning lights also lit up - this system may itself have increased severity of braking. Braking events occurred with two different drivers, on straight freeway, no steering input, no bridges, or safety barriers to confuse the acc radar. In all cases we were driving in left lane of a two lane freeway, approaching to pass a large vehicle travelling in right lane - a semi-truck in two cases, empty car transporter in other two. The vehicle being passed was well in its lane and not drifting over or presenting any danger to our vehicle.ford's response has been that this is "normal" and was due to our driving on a curve, or other vehicle drifting over or some road "furniture" like a bridge / barrier confusing the system.however, none of these factors applied.
Engine lost power while driving on highway at 65 mph. Without power had to find safe place to pull over to side of road to not cause an accident. It was going straight with cruise control on. The dealer said the issue was the electronic throttle body.
While driving on steep decline on icy packed snow unpacked mountain road in 4x4 low in manual 1st gear with hill descent assist engaged, the truck stalled and would not restart. (apparently one cannot restart the f150 even in neutral if thy truck is moving. Have to come to complete stop and shift back to park to be able to restart engine. Very dangerous design! if truck stalls while moving the driver becomes a sitting passenger until can bring truck to stop to restart it.) the truck then started sliding out of control on the icy packed snow covered steep mountain gravel road because i could not use the stalled engine to slow the truck down. Ended up sliding off the drop off edge of the road and the truck almost rolled over. Very close to deadly situation. After tow truck got the f150 back on the road i was able to drive the f150 safely down rest of icy road without hill descent assist.
I was driving down the highway and my truck completely shut off i managed to pull to the side of the road and got it started again. It did it again down the road. I made it to work hoping that it was just a glitch. It did it again on my way home nearly causing a collision, all the warning lights came on and the truck stated up again. It did it several times and is a big safety concern for me because i have my family in my vehicle most of the time. I did further research and several other people has had the same issue. My question is why ford has not issue a recall for this problem. Is everyone waiting for it to be a fatality or someone end up seriously injured. Someone needs to address this problem. Thousands of drives safety is at risk because of this
When driving at highway speeds the vehicle feels like the timing is off.hesitates as you roll at 50 or 60mph.then when you exit freeway and are stopped at light the idle becomes rough and drops below 500rpm.several times the engine stopped running while waiting for the light to turn green.the previous owner noticed it as well and she took it to the dealership to get checked.dealer said there is no check engine light and no error code so can't fix it.i took it to another ford dealer after purchase and they could not duplicate the issue even though i told them what to look for.ford f150 owners board has list of many people with same issue with the 2014-2016 era trucks.fixes from their post show replacement of2 new cam phasers and new vct solenoids repairs the issue. Vct had locked up and allowed the cam to jump by two teeth.so vct failure was causing the timing to be off which is the effect i am experiencing at highway speeds and the stalling upon stopping at off ramp light is because the timing is off.ford will not repair unless cel is on however.i told service team member my concern about taking a left turn across traffic and having the engine stall mid lane and getting t-boned.
2016 ford f-150 xlt 2.7l ecoboost automatic model with approximately 3,400 miles. Had already driven about 4-5 miles with engine already warmed up. Dry weather and about 69 degrees f outside. Came up to stop light with other vehicles ahead slowed down. Came to a complete stop and the auto-stop function engaged and the engine shut off. The roadway was fairly level. Waited approximately 20-30 seconds until light turned green. Traffic ahead started to move forward. I let off the brakes and the auto-start engaged. I continued to ease off brakes and allowed the truck to roll and idle forward with the flow of the vehicles ahead. I then applied my foot on the accelerator and began accelerating with the flow of the traffic. All of a sudden, the engine shuts off. At first i didn't realize it had shut off and was surprised that i wasn't able to accelerate anymore. Then i looked at instrument panel and saw that the speedometer was reading 17 mph and slowly dropping as the truck was just coasting along. My first thought was that maybe i had accidentally thrown it into neutral somehow, but the gear was still in "d" and applying gas did not move the tachometer as it had dropped to zero. Then i saw the battery symbol pop up. This is when i realized the engine had shut off during acceleration, possibly during gear shift sequence. At this point the vehicle is still rolling roughly 10 mph, so i engage it into neutral and crank the ignition and it starts up again. There is traffic behind me at this point so i change gear into "d" and am then able to accelerate normally up to proper speed. I could not recreate this again for the next 5-6 miles home, even with numerous stop lights where i would recreate the same auto-stop/start and accelerate actions.
Stalls at when at idol at stop lights. Mechanics can't find out why. No warnings lights in cash come on
Coolant temperature to high warning. This warning came up after my truck sat without being driven for 12 plus hours. I put the key in it and started the truck tried to drive it. The truck will not go over 15 miles. The actual coolant gauge is on blue, the cool side, but this warning is still going off.

Vehicle idles rough and stalls after driving for about 30 minutes or so. Rpms drop to below 500, vehicle shakes and sputters, and sometimes dies. I have had the vehicle die multiple times before turning at a stop light/sign.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning, completely lost power, and had very limited braking functionality. The contact was able to stop and restart the vehicle. Ford of monroeville, alabama was made aware of the failure and replaced the abs and brake sensors, and reprogrammed the vehicle; however, the failure recurred at least seven times. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and provided case number: cas-12779235. The failure mileage was 8,558.
Ford has issued a recall back in 2019 for faulty oil pans. My 2016 ford f-150 has had 4 oil pan replacements and is needing a 5th. When running a carfax, the dealership that has completed the repairs is not reporting any of these issues. Jackson ford in decatur, il. The attached photo is from the truck sitting for 24 hours. When i logged onto the nhtsa website to see if maybe i could get another recall repair at a different dealership, no active recalls are out. I'd like to try just 1 more dealership to get this issue fixed.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle lost total power as it rumbled and shook. Also, various warning indicators illuminated, including the powertrain fault, stability control, air bag, and check service manual. The contact stated that the running board failed to retract. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and restarted the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to ford & lincoln of smithtown (440 jericho turnpike, st james, ny 11780(631) 265-2340), but the cause of the failure could not be duplicated or diagnosed. When the contact retrieved the vehicle several hours later, the failure recurred and the vehicle was towed back to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but did not assist. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.
2016 f-150 3.5l 4x4 ecoboost with max towing package - vehicle suddenly and w/o warning caught fire and engulfed in flames within 10 minutes of hearing a humming sound and then seeing white or gray smoke. We were towing our 28 ft travel trailer for the first time in about 4-5 months, 30 minutes into the trip on a flat highway. Pulled over within 1 min of hearing the noise/ seeing smoke. Upon exiting, saw flames peeking out from under front of truck. Flames hit the cab within probably 3 mins later. We had towed a 28 ft travel trailer with this vehicle extensively and comfortably with few issues (except throttle body failure around 30k miles). Regular oil changes and maintenance. Full pa state inspection 3 months prior, oil change 2k miles prior. No outstanding recall work to our knowledge. No unusual handling, smells, leaking fluids that we noticed, or warning lights. Fire investigator's best guess was sudden transmission issue because it completely burned away but we'll unfortunately never really know.
On 9/6/2020, while driving approx 60mph on hwy 128 between jal and carlsbad nm, the brake pedal on my 2016 ford f150 lariat went to the floor and i had no brakes. A message on my dash came up saying to add brake fluid and i did. I took my truck to the nearest dealership, carslbad ford lincoln. The master cylinder and booster had a recall and was replaced, but the brake fluid that leaked into the engine was never addressed by the service and repair center. As a result, i now have over $6,000 worth of collateral damage to my engine that the dealership is refusing to fix because i'm being blamed for the damages for adding brake fluid to the resevoir. It's beyond obvious that the only way any brake fluid leaked into the engine was due to the damaged manufacturer part(s), the master cylinder and the booster, that were not only damaged but in recall status - recall# 20s31. The gm and service manager of the carslbad ford lincoln dealership have the power, the support and backing of a behemoth. They have the full support of the great american auto giant ford motor company and i have 100% nothing and nobody! there has to be some law or some thing to protect your everyday innocent tax paying american citizen from being taken advantage of by people who work for these powerful entites and/or companies. I'm writing this complaint on 9/27 and they've had my truck since 9/12; just over two weeks. I'm issuing this complaint because i literally cannot pay for the $6,212 worth of repairs that ford motor co is accountable and responsible for. Also, with (2) blown turbo chargers, tube asy, converter asy, sensors etc which all need to be replaced; my truck is not safe for me to drive and other citizens communting with or without their families on american highways shouldn't be subjected to this unsafe vehicle being on the road.
My truck recently has begun to go into limp mode, the engine loses 98% power and runs so rough it shakes. This has happened multiple times at highway speeds in heavy traffic leaving me and passengers very vulnerable to a rear end collision. The first couple of times by shutting the engine off it allows me to reset the hill descent fault and service advance trac warning. The truck would return to normal operations. Today (8/30/2021) after multiple shut downs in a 5 mile trip the check engine light came on too. I have scheduled a appointment at middleton ford in middleton wi. For september 9th (the soonest available) the truck will be dropped off on thursday (9/1/2021). Thank you for all you do!joe padgham
My 2016 ford f-150, at around 68,000 miles, began to experienced power loss and a loud whistle or whining sound during acceleration, coming from the front left and right side of the engine. During acceleration, a high-pitched whine occurs andincreases when revving the engine. Truck power loss was noticeable and boost declined, dropping to less than 25%. Exhaust fumes were noticeable from inside the cab of the truck. Depaul ford of albany, ny misdiagnosed it as a bad turbo with a stuck open wastegate and so we replaced the passenger side turbo, which did not fix the problem. The truck was brought to a highly recommended mechanic 'technician', matt, at miller's corners garage in albany, ny. He discovered the bolts and studs that hold the manifolds in place were severely rusted andthe manifold was warped with significant air leak and blow by. There was a large black sooty streak on the manifold side where the turbo hooks up, where the blow-by was occurring. At a cost of $1100 the passenger side manifold, hardware and related components were replaced. The driver side manifold is not available from ford until late december and still requires replacement. The vehicle has been well taken care of and is driven in upstate new york. It is rarely used for towing. It's absurd to think that a truck with such low mileage would have such a severe and expensive issue, significantly decreasing engine power, reducing the life of the engine and bringing fumes into the cab. This should be a recall issue.
Throttle body failure:first occurred on original throttle body(oem part) in 2018.vehicle was turned on and stationary in a parking lot.heard a loud knocking, diagnosed at ford dealership.replaced original throttle body with new oem throttle bottle.second occurrence on replacement throttle body (oem part) in june 2019.vehicle was in motion on an interstate, wrench light came on, putting the truck in limp mode and the truck stalled.i pulled over on the side of the interstate, turned the truck off, waited several minutes and turned vehicle back on.cleared the fault and was able to continue drive with loud knocking sound occurring like in the first instance.
Hill descent control fault/ service advancetrac warning suddenly turned on. Alternated w service light. But i was just driving home from work on a 70 degree day on a dry paved road decelerating from a 40mph zone to a 30 mph zone up a slight incline.i wasn't using hill descent and traction was fine. The disturbing part was the vehicle suddenly ran rough and had no power. I could not get it to run well enough pull it over out of the traffic lane. An on off cycle returned function for a few seconds and i got around the corner before the fault occurred again. With no hills the last block i got to my driveway where a longer off period returned the vehicle to function. This type of sudden power loss could cause an accident.
2.7 l ecoboost cooling system failure. At 56000 miles. Ford dealership would not provide exact details or specific diagnosis on cooling system failure. Ford dealership gave me the only option to replace the entire cooling system.
Exhaust manifold stud bolt broken on rear of drivers side manifold. Makes a loud chirping noise when accelerating. Many other owners complaining about same issue on this eco boost 3.5l engine.
Exhaust manifold leak
Exhaust manifold warped leaking. Gradually becoming worse. First noticed noise in 2020.
As i was driving about 40 mph, the truck suddenly decelerated to almost a stand still. Two messages appeared on the dash board info system. Service needed for hill assist and advance trac, or something similar. I had to drive home, half mile, at a walking pace which was as fast as the truck would go. There was no warning. This is a deadly flaw.how could you not have ford f150 in your database?
The vehicle shut down while driving.had no throttle.pulled off roadvehicle was idling erraticallystill no throttlemultiple warning lights.shut vehicle off, restarted, all trouble lights were off except check engine light.vehicle ran ok for a while.this happened 7 more times within 150 miles.this is very dangerous, if i had been in traffic i would not been able to get off the road.got the vehicle to ford.they cleared all the codes and said they could not find the problem.they wanted me to pick up my vehicle, i refused.i researched the issue and found many people with the same problem.the fix was the throttle body.i passed this info on to the ford dealer.they replaced my throttle body, problem fixed.i was lucky, i had 150 miles left on my warranty, most others didn't.
Truck will idle rough and stall periodically giving a checj engine light and when driving on the highway, in the street or making turns any time that the rpm is close to 500 (idle).makes waiting for turns dangerous as the truck my unexpectedly turn off while moving. 3 dealers have been unable to resolve the issue started at 29,000 miles and have been thrown around until 40,000 miles now. They refuse to acknowledge my complaints and this truck isnt very safe to drive.
My 2016 ford f150 with engine block heater caught fire today 14 february 2020 at 11:12 am. It was moving and caught fire when i parked the truck
For the last year my car have been leaking fumes and smelling of carbon monoxide. I have complained to mission valley ford, big valley ford and all star ford. When i start the vehicle there is white smoke and a strong fume. They said it's the ecoboost. Secondly the turbo they say has gone out already at 87k miles and i believe the smell and the turbo is connected.
Towing a 4000 lb. Travel trail from colorado to california , every time after about 3 hours of driving 65-75 miles per hour i get off the highway to fuel or whatever else get to the offramp truck dies !it will turn over and start sometimes right away then other times you have to turn it over hope it starts rev the motor drop it into drive fast and go !not safe at all coming off at highway speeds having your motor die ! there are many forums on line with a lot of people having the same issue with the 2.7 ecoboost
Was driving down the highway at 45 mph, all of a sudden advance track service warning appeared, hill descent off, and truck lost all power and began to idea roughly,could not accelerate, was able to pull off the road. Fortunately i have a mechanical background, turned off ignition waited a minute and tried to restart the truck, cranked harder than normal, engine service lite was on, turned off advance track and went a few miles and happened again. Went through same steps and restarted vehicle, was able to drive 10 miles to home. When i started the truck this morning the engine service light was off,went a few miles and same thing happened again. This is a definite serious accident waiting to happen. If you are on an interstate go 70 mph in traffic and this would happen most people would not know what to do. Doing some online searching this seems to be a problem that ford has failed to address , it must take loss of life before this problem is addressed
Truck will stall/shut off at a stop while towing. Red battery light will show on dashboard. Car will turn over then shut down again by itself within a few seconds. This happened 3 times at this point- once while in gas station in line to get gas (stationary) once at intersection (stationary at stop light), another time after stopping vehicle to get gas. At first event 30 minutes after it not working a jump started the vehicle successfully, at second instance jump would not start car, had to get towed, at third instance we were able to start vehicle by holding throttle down while putting in drive. Brought to ford dealership- said nothing was wrong, would not work on truck, said no computer codes were found.
Driving eastbound on i-10 at 75 -80 mph, on a mountain, suddenly advanctrac fault warning and engine power lost. Vehicle entered limp mode. I was forced to 'limp' on the shoulder to reach a safe area to stop with cell service and wait for a tow truck. This was a very dangerous situation. Semi traffic at high speeds were blowing past very little shoulder space to navigate. At each guard rail i was forced to stop - wait for a break in traffic- restart and pray for enough momentum to get around the area. I finally limped into wilcox az and contacted ford roadside assistance. The vehicle was towed 74 miles to smith ford in lordsburg nm $280. Fra advised that due to covid 19 no personal transportation is available. No alternate transportation is available in wilcox az.smith ford service does not open until monday. Another roadside service $205 put computer on it. Code p2112 throttle actuator 'a' control system stuck closed. Pyramid roadside service found damaged wiring behind accelerator pedal and loose pedal. I had to walk alone in the desert to find a hotel. I eventually walked another 2 miles pulling a suitcase to a grayhound station to phoenix sunday (274 miles).i will contact dealer tomorrow.ford has been aware customer satisfaction program to replace defective etb 2015 & 2016 f150. I purchased may 5, 2019 and was not made aware of potentially dangerous situation. No recall was issued for this dangerous defect. Not only could i have been seriously injured on the interstate, i was put in very high risk situations both due to covid 19 high risk in this part of the country but also my personal safety being alone without transportation in an area with limited resources. Thus far i am out of pocket $800.00 and do not know what additional expenses i may incur until my truck is repaired. I live in papillion, ne and have a long way to go to get back home.
I was completing a 3 hour drive of approximately 120 miles (i had less than 5 miles to go till i arrived at my destination) when my sensors started lighting up my message board and dash system. I was in the left turn lane to enter the on-ramp to us65 south when this happened so i pulled off to the shoulder to investigate. I had just put my truck in park when a car pulled up and said that my engine was on fire. When i got out to look, the fire was rolling out from under the drivers side wheel well. As well, there was either a fluid or melted plastic dripping down to the asphalt that was also on fire. The fire appeared to put itself out, for the most part, prior to the fire company arriving within the next 10 minutes. I had, what i believed to be at the time, recall work done by mike raisor ford in lafayette, in, less than 1 year ago. In that recall work, i thought the block heater was disconnected so as to prevent an engine fire such as this. Now, i am having doubts as to whether this was completely disconnected. Nhtsa campaign number is 18v894000 and fords recall number is 18s45.
Exhaust manifold leak at 45000 miles.
Engine lost power while driving on highway at 65 mph. Without power had to find safe place to pull over to side of road to not cause an accident. It was going straight with cruise control on. The dealer said the issue was the electronic throttle body.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving low speeds, the engine shuddered and the vehicle hesitated to accelerate. The vehicle was taken to cleveland ford (2496 s. Lee hwy, cleveland, tn), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The manufacturer was notified, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 45,000. Consumer stated truck also has numerous signal losses on tac satellite radio signal. Consumer took it to the dealer several times and was told there was no problem.
Driving on interstate at approximately a steady 60 mph. Without warning power loss and no response to accelerator.error code p2111
I was recently pulling a travel trailer down a mountain pass with my 2016 f150 with the 3.5l ecoboost engine. The vehicle went into limp mode losing power to the motor, the travel trailer started 'fish tailing'!!the 2 vehicles behind me locked up their brakes (could visibly see smoke), the third vehicle was slower to react and pulled out and passed all 3 of us narrowly avoiding a head on collision! i took the truck to the service shop and it was determined to be the throttle body and it was replaced....for the 4th time in 94,000 miles!!! the previous 2 times this happened to me the same problem occurred (vehicle went into limp mode), but those times i was driving 75mph down a 5 lane freeway and had to crossover 5 lanes of traffic with no power to my engine! vehicles swerving everywhere, people locking up their brakes....minor miracle there were no accidents. I've filed complaints to ford on each occasion and they've done nothing about it! it's a common, well known problem that ford is aware of and somebody is eventually going to die because of this issue! asking for help!
While vehicle was in motion. Operating ok and then engine started to shudder and continued to do so. Weather was clear 75 degrees and sun shine. - engine light is on. Ecoboost engine with 4,200 miles. I turned the ac off still shudders. This has gone on now for 3 days. I am taking do dealer tomorrow 28nov2016.
I had my truck towed to auto fair ford and had to have the fuel pump replaced with $100 extended warranty and the car is a year old. After fixing it they were having issues with it not startingand called ford to trouble shoot the issue. Today 3/2/18 they called to say a mouse or rodent chewed through the wiring. I have lived i'm my home since 1999 and many cars in the drive way this has never happened before. My brother said the wiring is soy based. I called liberty mutual insurance and comprehensive has a $500 deductible. They will look at the truck 3/5/18 at auto fair ford in manchester nh. I now have to pay$600 to a vehicle i have owned less then 5 months to auto fair ford. Seems odd this is happing on a new vehicle
The engine had been dying at stop signs, red lights, and in parking lots up to this point (in drive or park) but ended up stalling eight or nine times on the interstate coming through atlanta rush hour traffic. This almost caused multiple accidents while i attempted to restart the vehicle without power steering and power brakes. The dealership has worked to repair the issue twice so far. I have made another appointment with the dealership and they plan to replace the vct solenoids next. Ford should admit this is a safety issue and initiate a recall to resolve this issue on all these vehicles before someone gets killed.
When towing and coming to a stop my vehicle stalls and dies. It will not stay running. To keep it running i have to put in neutral and press the gas pedal to keep it running and then put into gear and take off. This is not safe. It is the 2.7l ecoboost. I took it to our local ford where it happened to the tech that took my truck in for inspection and then they said the service tech could not replicate the issue. They charged me $130 diagnosis fee and said they couldn't find the issue and called for me to pick up my vehicle. This is happening all over the country and something needs to be done.
2016 ford f150 v8 engine.driving down the freeway, my a/c compressor went out.it completely locked up causing the engine to stall and become disabled and could not be restarted.shortly after, i lost power steering and brakes (as a result of the engine loss) which created a safety issue on a freeway at 10:30pm at night as i had to get the vehicle over lanes of traffic without power steering and ease of braking and bring the vehicle to a stop without power assisted brakes.thankfully, we were able to get over, but i don't know that everyone would be so lucky.i don't think an a/c compressor breaking internally should disable the vehicle's engine unless something is fundamentally wrong with the construction of the compressor.i could see accidents occurring as a result of the engine becoming disabled.
My 2016 ford f150 recently started whistling at the 2500rpm point from the front end of the my truck.i took it to the dealership expecting a vacuum hose issue and was told both exhaust manifolds had warped and broke off some of the mounting bolts.i was a bit shocked since the vehicle has 102,000 miles on it and it's not been abused in anyway.unfortunately, the factory warranty runs out at 100,000 miles and on the hook for the cost of this $1600+ (so far) repair.after doing a little research on the internet it did not take me long to discover this is a very well known problem with the 3.5l ecoboost engine.there were a multitude of websites and youtube videos addressing this known problem with folks quite upset that an official recall has not been issued yet with a proper fix/replacement and reimburse the owners who have already paid for the fix.seems like it's not a matter of if it's going to happen to your truck...but when.very disappointing, especially when you hear how many known issues have already been reported.exhaust fumes leaking from the engine and possibly into the cab...should take a high priority to resolve.let's go ford...make it right!thank you.
Unintended acceleration. Ecoboost f-150. Less than 200 miles on odometer. At stop with foot on brake whole time, vehicle did not move. Engine revved up, then settled down, revved again, settled down, then revved very high, rear tire spinning until ignition was turned off.

The locks on my truck froze in winter and as my wife was goin down interstate the doorcame open and i've went to the dealership where i got it nd they refuse ta fix my recalls and told me it would be 4 days without a vehicle and i'm active military and can not go without a vehicle they offered no car ta me and we're rude and not willing ta show me which of the 10 recalls on my truck if any had been fixed .i just bought this truck in 2019 and am having nuthin but issues and i believe it ta be a lemon and the dealer is of no help.

The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000. The vin was unknown.
I had the wrench symbol appear on my dash display and the vehicle stopped, lost power while i was in traffic. It is now at the dealer that sold it to me, but this is scary situation to lose power while driving.
Driving down interstate 80 at 70mph and track assist error, then hill start assist unavailable error, wrench light (see manual), engine light.i depress the gas pedal and there is no response, the engine rpm does not increase.i have to pull off to the side of the interstate, towing a boat, luckily not in construction zone ahead with concrete barriers on both sides.turn off and restart, the engine / rpm still do not respond.turned off for 5 minutes while i make a call.turn on again and rough idle but the engine responds and i am able to drive the remaining 15 miles to home.exact thing happened again 4 days later on 2 lane, hilly, country highway without a shoulder.i stopped in the road, hazards on, turned off/on again, didn't respond to gas. Wait 5 minutes turned on again and was able to get to home.
While driving normally error/maintenance alarms go off and the truck will drop to a rough idle (total loss of power), is not responsive to throttle input, and multiple alarm messages are displayed. In every case, i have had to pull over, shut the engine down, wait until all systems have powered down, and restart the truck. In the past and the most recent occurrence, sometimes this only occurs once but in a couple of instances it will occur a couple of times in a row before resuming normal operation.this is a very dangerous condition- total loss of power while in traffic on busy roads. Ford has diagnosed as an electronic throttle body failure and refused to cover this on warranty (out of warranty 3 mos) and it has taken much research on my part to discover that this is a known issue with ford etb's going back some time with over 60k failure reports over many different vehicles.
While driving on the highway at approx. 60mph my ford 2016 f150 3.5l v6 lurched and stalled, experiencing a complete loss of power, throttle control and acceleration.this was the 7th throttle malfunction my f150 has experienced in the past 5 months.each malfunction exactly the same.since i am now forced to only travel in the far right lanes for safety, i had enough remaining momentum to veer my f150 off of the highway and bring it to a complete stop.with some effort my f150 struggled but was able to restart and traveling a low speeds i made it safely home.due to the dangerous nature of this incident i have taken my f150 to the dealership twice so far.ford believes the issue is the electronic throttle body, but they have been unable to fix the problem.most recently i received my f150 from the dealer only 4 short days ago where they replaced the electronic throttle body, but it had no effect, the problem still exists.the malfunction only occurs during the most dangerous periods of driving, while on the highway/freeway.this malfunction puts the safety of the drivers and their families at risk unnecessarily.i have avoided collisions only by driving and staying in the far right lane at all times.it is only a matter of time before someone else experiences this problem traveling at 65mph on the highway and due to a sudden loss of power and complete acceleration causes a significant traffic accident.i hope this never happens but it is my grave and real concern for my own welfare every time i drive my 2016 f150.
Was driving straight down a highway. Truck warning lights started appearing on the dash hill descent control fault, hill assist fault, service advance trac. Turn signals would not work and gas pedal was unresponsive. Truck slowed to almost a complete stop and began shaking violently as the engine was about to die.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving 80 mph, the vehicle stalled and all the warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where diagnostic testing found failure codes for the turbo, indicating that the air fuel mixture was rich. The independent mechanic was unaware of how to remedy the failure, but found that the bolt on the exhaust had fractured due to rust from an unknown leak. The bolt was replaced, but the vehicle stalled again. The contact called carlsbad ford (2802 w pierce st, carlsbad, nm 88220, (575) 885-3101) and the contact was awaiting a call back to schedule an appointment. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but was unable to assist. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.
While driving about 20 mph through a residential neighborhood, vehicle lurched and jerked with a large thud. Thud was engine failing due to no oil pressure - oil not getting to engine. Limped home, car not able to go more than 30 mph to drive to dealership. Not shifting between gears. Had we been on highway, much bigger issue could have occurred - we were able to stop safely as we were in our own neighborhood. Ford is replacing engine but [xxx](service manager at walker ford, clearwater florida) has told us this is the fourth 2016 f150 that has come back to their dealership for a full engine replacement, and decision was made to continue selling because percentage of affected vehicles is a gamble. We bought truck 1/2/17, engine failure occurred 1/26/17 at odometer reading of 844 miles. Dealership in possession of truck since 1/27/17.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The vehicle hesitates, idles roughly when cold and makes a knocking type noise at idle when hot. The coolant level has gone down substantially despite having it serviced recently. We have experienced large amounts of water dripping from the tail pipe along with the occasional puff of thick smoke. The vehicle misfires and it has been verified by a scan tool (my own and fords). Ford's technicians have verified the concern but have told us that without a hard fault, they are not able to look into the problem further. This issue has been brought to their attention several times with no resolution. While it may be related or unrelated, the transmission also jerks when slowing down and has a tendency to lurch forward when going from 3-2-1 gears. This has also been verified by ford and they have made two attempts using tsb 16-0015 to resolve without any improvement.
Engine stalls and/or dies while driving. This has happened to me twice on a new 2016 f-150. During normal driving, the truck mechanically shuts down causing a major safety hazard to me and other drivers on the road. This is not uncommon if you search online! the ford repair shop cannot identify the issue, they say.
On three occasions my truck has lost all power, once in a parking lot and twice while cruising at 45 mph .outside temps 65 deg. And roads were smooth.air bag light, wrench icon, service advance trac come on. Engine will remain idling regardless of gas pedal position.theengine isrunning on maybe 4 cyls. After the engine is turned off and restarted it will act normally. This truck is the 3.5 ecoboost with 11,000 miles on it and has been in service for 18 months.
Truck was in park with the engine running.nobody was in the truck which was on a slight incline.it was standing still in the back yard while i was trying to get the garage door closed.it took off going through a chainlink fence, across a neighbors yard, and came to rest on a bank on the other side of the neighbors yard. The fence and brush caused several heavy scratches to the truck.
The contact owned a 2016 ford f-150. While the contact was on vacation, the vehicle caught fire in the driveway. The contact's child was at home, saw the vehicle on fire, and called the fire department. The fire department extinguished the fire. A police report was filed. There were no injuries. The cause of the failure was not determined. The contact's insurance company deemed the vehicle totaled. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The failure mileage was unknown.
Second time engine stalled while driving in less than 2 weeks!!!2016 ford f-150 xlt 2.7l eco-boost model. This is the second time the engine has stalled and shut off during driving! not even 3,600 miles on it yet. Typical stop and go traffic during rush hour.went to accelerate after rolling along with traffic (<10 mph) and nothing happens. Tachometer stays at around 500 rpm and does not go anywhere. Since this was the second time this has happen within the last 2 weeks so i wasn't too surprised this time around. I put it in neutral and shut off ignition and try cranking it. Rpms would barely stutter around 400-500 rpm and would not stay on. Tried a few more attempts while still rolling in neutral. I had to brake to a stop, put it in park, and had attempted to crank it several more times until it finally started up and was idling correctly around 800-900 rpm. This is definitely a safety issue and should be investigated immediately. Dealer says oem has known issue with throttle body causing ford vehicles to stall while driving. Unfortunately, dealer says my vin is not part of vehicle models affected by this issue. Obviously it is happening to the 2016 f150s. Both of my incidents did not throw a code so there seems to be nothing dealer can do to fix the problem for the moment. I do not want to keep driving this vehicle with this defective part and unsafe condition, especially with my infant son in the rear cab.
The contact owned a 2016 ford f-150. Contact stated he was in his home when he heard a loud explosion, upon going outside he saw flames exiting under the hood of the truck. The contact stated the vehicle was engulfed in flames as the vehicle was parked in the car port his home caught on fire. The contact was able to alert his family and everyone exited the home safely. The fire and police department was contacted. The fire department was able to extinguish the flames. The contact mentioned that the vehicle was not driven in about a week and that he had purchased the vehicle 4 months ago. A police and fire department report were filed. The vehicle and the contact home were both deem a totaled loss by the police department. The manufacturer was not made ware of the issues. The dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 31,000. The contact had mentioned he a failure with the engine block heater. The vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 18v894000 (engine).
We just took my 2016 f150 ecoboost to west texas over thanksgiving. Towed under 7500 lbs. Towed completely normal the whole time (15 hours) until the return trip home. About 2.5 hours into my return trip (i was towing without my husband and with two young kids on a back highway with no cell service and absolutely no stops for 2 of those hours😯) i pulled over to see where my next gas station was and my truck died. It would restart but would die again. I finally figure i'm screwed, i'll try and just hit the gas and go. So i took off and blew through a stop sign and didn't stop until i reached a gas station, where it died when i stopped.. It was saturday afternoon and all the repair shops were closed and there weren't any parts stores open. I finally unplugged the camper, thinking it was draining my battery and started it up and gassed it to get it going and didn't stop until i reached sonora and camped for the night, about 20 miles away. And then my truck was totally fine after that. I never hooked the camper back up and i had filled up the gas tank and put fuel injection cleaner into the tank and didn't have any more stalls. The only light that came on when it stalled was the battery light.
I have had my truck to dealer for many multiple issues involving electrical since approximately 6600 miles beginning with shaking when i slowed down without utilizing brakes. Since then i've been at the dealer with many electrical issues where truck would not accelerate and all lights would illuminate. This has been ongoing and very unsafe.when i would attempt to make a left hand turn i would proceed to cross opposing lanes and vehicle would feel like it was in neutral and almost was struck on numerous occasions. Vehicle has also over accelerated very early in ownership. Most recently and i picked up my truck and a week later same problem. I have had my truck at the dealership with electrical problems that create a great danger to myself as well as other motorists. Certainly i cannot be the only person who literally as of the first week of december 2015 received my ordered truck and now after 3 years has had so many close calls when operating the vehicle.all times the vehicle was operational and runs very rough prior to happening. I have been driving down the street and video the trucks camera and other items going on and off during operation. The truck has sever electrical deficiencies and the engine has severe response issues that puts my life. My passengers lives and the other motorist at great risk of injury or death. I am unable to supply all the dates in the one space provided. But have all video and paperwork from all the times and dates from dealership.
Vehicle looses power without warning during routine driving and cannot be recovered. Warnings on dashboard display show "service advancetrac" and "hill start assist" along with all engine warning lights. Pressing down on gas pedal does nothing, must pull over and turn off ignition and turn back on to restore power. Happens numerous times and randomly. Occurred when driving on highway at 70mph and while on side streets at 45mph. Below is a link to video of the behavior. Vehicle is 2016 ford f150 purchased brand new with no previous issues and 7700 miles.https://1drv.ms/f/s!ahzq4p0k1fqii7u1moy63ityroiqfg
The truck began to make a loud, clunky noise, allthewhile it was slowing down and then eventually came to a stop and was not driveable anymore. We were driving in a neighborhood when it stalled. It would not move. It would turn on, but it would not accelerate. It still made the clunky, loud noise.
2016 f-150 truckstalls or turns off when you are slowing down or coming to a stop on any road. It idles rough mostly when you slow down or stop but now the engine has turned off 4 times in the last 2 weeks. It started at 60,000 miles and about to hit 70,000 now.
I've bought my 2016 f150 xlt fx4 sc 5.0l used with about 69k miles on it and had it for nearly a year now. Since i purchased the truck it will develop a rough idle and will stall while at a stop light. This will happen when i make a multi stop trip, for example if i stop at the market on the way home from work, or sometimes even just returning home from work. So far this issue has only happened on city streets. Outside temps are no factors as this happens in cold wintery conditions or hot and humid weather. Every time the truck stalls, the cel does not come on or any other dash light except the battery light and i can restart the truck immediately with no issues. After the truck restarts there is no fault light on the dash and truck acts like nothing happened. I took the truck to an independent repair shop to have a diagnostic check and they could not find any stored codes or pending codes pertaining to this issue. The repair shop was also able to duplicate the issue but also noticed a strong smell from the catalytic converter. At the moment, it is unknown what's causing my truck to idle roughly and stall.
Exhaust manifold on driver side warped and leaks causing a screeching sound on acceleration and slight tick on start up and idle.
Throttle body failure while driving at 75 mph causing vehicle to shut down in high-speed traffic [failure defined by dealer service person].
My vehicle was in motion at approximately 65 mph when it suddenly entered a limp mode, indicated by multiple dash warning lights and an abrupt loss of power. The vehicle was incredibly unsafe to operate in such condition. Ford has a known problem with the electronic throttle body used on these motors, but has failed to issue a recall on a part that could cause great bodily harm and injury if it should fail in heavy traffic scenarios.
Vehicle engine shakes and shuts off when stopped and at idle. This happens after vehicle warms up and has been driven for at least 15 minutes. I have read many other complaints about ford trucks doing the same thing. Have read that ford is aware of problems with variable cam timing sensors and cam phasers, but are not issuing recall. This has happened to me at leadt 6 times.
2016 f150 with the 2.7l ecoboost randomly dies after startup. Sometimes it will die while in motion almost causing an accident. There's no stored codes for the dealer. It's been in the shop 6 times total. The first time they put a crankcase vent sensor and then the 2nd time sparkplugs. It's dies and gone into limp mode multiple times but the dealer can't duplicate the problem so they can't fix it. It started at 9,000 miles and it now has 14,000 miles. I'm pretty sure it's the throttle body but they won't replace it without a code. It has happened randomly from march 2017 until today 8-13-17. I also have a recording saved on my snap-on scan tool of the parameters at the time it went into limp mode.
Engine continues to stall / quit while driving. When idled in traffic and continued to drive , engine will stall. Most recently happen while completing left turn in intersection almost causing accident.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle stalled and an unknown warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was towed to mac haik ford lincoln (888-253-4662, located at 4506 n navarro st, victoria, tx 77904), but the cause of the failure could not be determined or duplicated. The failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer and the back-up camera sensor was replaced, but the failure recurred several times. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 31,811.
So i've got 16,000 miles on my new 2016 f150 truck. Last week i was cruising down the highway in the fast lane when all of a sudden the truck shudders then loses all drivetrain power. The engine was still on but only operating at btwn 600 and 800 rpms but the accelerator was unresponsive. Was no fun trying to make it to the shoulder with no power. One week later, same thing twice on my way home from work. Called the dealer and they didn't seem overly concerned that my new truck was stranding me in the fast lane with no power. They said bring it in at the end of the week and we'll take a look at it. So i start researching the problem and can only find related articles from around 2012 when ford was having problems with humidity in its new ecoboost engines. I live in california where the humidity is not very fierce so i don't know if this is the problem or not, but after reading some posts on how ford dealt with this problem before, i'm not very optimistic on the outcome this time.
While pulling out of my work parking lot onto the main road, my engine lost power and multiple lights lit up on the dashboard.i had to coast into the middle lane and then off into the post office parking lot to avoid traffic.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled while idle at a traffic light. The contact shifted the vehicle into park and restarted the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to sayville ford (5686 sunrise hwy, sayville, ny 11782; (855) 561-1191) and repairs were made on the engine 8 times within a month however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
While driving the vehicle 157 miles from home i had the check engine light came on and vehicle had no throttle response.the vehicle would only move about 3-5 miles per hour.very dangerous was crossing a large busy intersection almost got hit but another vehicle.
Starting at 30,000 miles the truck had a rough idle at a stoplight or stop sign in gear, and then after a couple months i would shifting from reverse to drive and it shut down. Now sometimes when i come up to a stop sign or stop light it shuts off i was even at an intersection and it shut off this is a huge safety concern and ford needs to fix it now.no code pops up and ford cannot re-create it or fix it
While using my vehicle under normal conditions the check engine light came on so i had vehicle checked at autozone and o'reily's which showed 2 different codes and took it to machaik dealership. Turns out i had to have both cylinder heads replace, crankshaft bolt replaced as well as a few other items. I was told it was an issue that ford was aware of and didn't notify me of it when i bout the vehicle. They covered the cost due to the vehicle being under warranty which was about $5,000. $ months later i got my vehicle back and about 30 miles of driving 55mph it started blowing a thick cloud of white smoke with some grey smoke. I take the vehicle home and let it sit for 28 days before i have to use it and after about 23 miles it started smoking again. I take it to the same dealership again and i told them about the smoking issue, rough idle and the exhaust smells like gas which is not normal. I showed them a video of the issue which contains my mileage at the time and my license plate which clearly shows my vehicle so they cannot say it wasn't my vehicle. Waiting for the results of their findings and plan to update the complaint. I will not upload the video at this time due to it containing my license plate, don't know how to upload it from phone and i don't know how to edit that out. If it is necessary to update this complaint i will upload the video as proof as well as work order from previous and current work.my mileage will not be 100% accurate but it will be within 400 miles plus or minus
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled without warning while idling at a stopped position. The vehicle was taken to shults ford lincoln (10401 perry hwy, wexford, pa 15090, (724) 934-2388), but no failure codes could be located. The failure recurred over an eight month period and an independent mechanic could not diagnose the failure. The vehicle was scheduled to go back to the dealer to be repaired at the contact's expense. The contact had the vehicle repaired issue was power train warranty, which expired in 3,000 miles. The manufacturer had not been contacted. The failure mileage was 39,000. The vin was unknown. *dt
27 april 2020 - engine stalled without warning at speed multiple times, no engine warning lights on only "orange wrench" indicating 4x4 problem (per the manual). Vehicle would restart one first couple of occasions, would not restart subsequently, cranking timeout occurred. Waited about 15 minutes, vehicle restarted and left in park running while waiting for tow truck. Had vehicle towed to muzi ford in needham ma for evaluation. Current date is 28 april 2020. This event could have caused a crash without warning.weather - rain about 45f, morning around 8-9am
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the vehicle downshifted to first gear with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was restarted and drove as designed. The vehicle was taken to mac haik ford (10333 katy fwy, houston, tx 77024, (713) 932-5000) where it was diagnosed that the lead frame needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 73,000.
Leaking turbo oil supply line that is leaking at the welded joint.
My 2016 f150 has adaptive cruise control ("acc") that applies brakes in the event a vehicle is detected in lane ahead in order to match speed and maintain safe distance. F150 also has collision avoidance system that increases sensitivity of brakes if imminent collision is detected.2015 ford f150 has been subject to a recall (nhtsa campaign number: 15v614000) to fix problems with acc - the acc may falsely detect an obstacle in its path and may unexpectedly apply the brakes increasing the risk of a rear-end collision from a following vehicle.my 2016 f150 was built after the date covered by the recall however it exhibits the exact problem described in the recall i.e. The problem continues to exist with ford's acc system and the recall was insufficient.in my case, on four separate occasions from 3/19 through 3/26/2016 the acc system activated unexpectedly and for no reason, causing heavy braking and in one case almost causing collision with a following vehicle. The collision warning lights also lit up - this system may itself have increased severity of braking. Braking events occurred with two different drivers, on straight freeway, no steering input, no bridges, or safety barriers to confuse the acc radar. In all cases we were driving in left lane of a two lane freeway, approaching to pass a large vehicle travelling in right lane - a semi-truck in two cases, empty car transporter in other two. The vehicle being passed was well in its lane and not drifting over or presenting any danger to our vehicle.ford's response has been that this is "normal" and was due to our driving on a curve, or other vehicle drifting over or some road "furniture" like a bridge / barrier confusing the system.however, none of these factors applied.
While traveling on the interstate level terrain and a stationary cruise at 70 mph, the wrench icon and check engine light appeared with a message to "see manual" at the same time the engine became unresponsive to accelerator pedal input. The limp home mode was not working and we could not get the truck moving again after stopped. I was able to shut the ignition off for about 2 min while i looked up the warning lights in the manual (only stated to see dealer immeadiatly) afterwards we were able to start and drive the truck to the next exit and home approximately 4 miles. This was a very dangerous encounter and were almost hit by 2 semi trucks while trying to coast over to the shoulder. We have owned the vehicle since new and had 8,827 miles at the time of the shut down.
2016 ford f-150 2.7l ecoboost model with only 3,928 miles. This is the third time engine has cut off on me while driving/accelerating! was taking a left turn from side road onto main road. While accelerating in the turn, engine started stuttering a few times (rpms would dip) and then it stalled out. Luckily i was able to complete my left hand turn without getting hitting by oncoming traffic and was able to pull over immediately. This time around the engine would not restart. Had to call ford's roadside assistance to get towed to nearest dealership. The last two instances the dealer could not pull a code or diagnose what was wrong so nothing was done. This time the dealership has a dead truck on arrival so they can't tell me that there is nothing wrong with it (service and diagnostics has yet to be completed at the time of this writing). I have been in touch with ford regional rep regarding my cases and i am told they cannot do anything until the dealer can diagnose what the root cause is. Obviously something is wrong. There are dozens of other complaints of engine stalling while driving.
Driving down the highway, doing about 60 to 65 mph, noticed that i was slowing down slightly, went to give it more gas, looked down at the dashboard and realized that the engine wasn't on (no rpms on tachometer).the screen on the dashboard had a service warning for the parking brake with a lightning bolt idiot light on (not sure what it was, didn't get the chance to look in the manual).i don't know if the power steering/brakes went out, since i was moving fast enough to steer fairly easily, and i'm strong enough to press a brake pedal.after i got it pulled over, i put it in park, tried to start it again, wasn't able to.called roadside assistance, got a tow truck. Notice the screen that has stuff like clock, temp, date, media info was stuck at the time it shutoff.no other electrical systems seemed to work, i.e. Power windows, emergency flashers, ignition.was also locked in park, couldn't get it into neutral for the tow truck. After it got onto the tow truck, the exterior lights flashed while driving to the dealership to service it, got to dealer and when it came time to get it off the truck, it started right back up again, didn't appear to have any service messages show up.brand new truck, about 1100 miles on it, no accidents, no off-roading, haven't even changed the oil yet, haven't touched anything under the hood besides the oil dipstick.at the dealership, nothing seemed to be loose under the hood (electrical wise). Attached is a picture similar to what i saw (again, 65 on the highway, not really an ideal time for documentation).
Bought the truck a year and a half ago the engine has blown and now the brake master cylinder is went out probably be the brake booster next they should be reliable for this i'm 100 miles over my warranty and they were still on fix it
Truck has an oil pan leak which ford will not repair, but requires me to pay for the oil leak. It was a manufacturing defect and believe in time this could cause a fire down the road if it's not fixed.
Engine light flashing at 7,996 miles. On highway traveling 70mph engine began running very rough and began to decelerate. Engine light began to flash. Dealership authorizes long block engine change. Service: 172077d p0306 6049/42. Tsb 17-0007 and 17-2077.
Truck lost engine power. Truck was still running, but pressing the accelerator did nothing. Electrical system still functioned (power steering and lights) and brakes worked normally. When this occurred, the truck started dinging, the airbag light lit up, and the productivity screen showed a 'hill descent control disabled' error message, airbag error, other errors and the wrench icon.engine was still running, but idling very rough, like it had dropped a cylinder, and the truck was shuddering as it was idling both in gear, and in park.resumed normal ops on restart.dealer replace throttle body under tsb-16-0193 but this should be elevated to a full recall
Vehicle exhaust leaks into cabin. Ford says not covered under warranty. Paint falling off fenders. Ford says not covered under warranty. Back up camera worked until ford dealer worked on it, has not worked since then and dealer (house ford address: 3538 hwy 61 w, red wing, mn 55066) wont or can't fix it.
Started driving am for about 5-7 miles and getting on an on ramp to freeway vehicle suddenly had no power and idle very rough/ could not accelerate and service engine light, hill assist not active and another service light came on. Pulled over to the side of road and sat for about 30 seconds, turned vehicle off and re started, no fault warning lights were on and all was fine. Drove 22 miles to dewey ford in ankeny, iowa told them what happened and they asked if any fault lights were still on and i said no and they told me they wouldn't be able to diagnose the problem without a fault light being on. They said it could be water in the fuel and suggested a couple cans of sea foam and to top fuel off with premium/no alcohol. Did that, drove an additional 22 miles with out any problems. Researched similar problems by others and electronic throttle body came up. Will update if i have another incident.
Takata recall the engine blew up after 3,400. Sucked all the oil in the exhaust while it was idling in dealership parking lot. Called me up told my engine blew up on them. There is 6 month run of bad engine and ford knowly sold me a truck made during those dates.
Almost exactly the same experience as incident numbers 11090030, 11063919, and 11048673.there may be others, but, i didn't go any further.i was driving on a bridge without any safety shoulders and the vehicle suddenly lost all power, "hill start assist not available" indicator came on, "service advance trac" indicator came on, and "see manual" indicator came on with the wrench symbol.after nearly being rear-ended by another car, i was able to coast to an off ramp and pull over.the truck was shaking violently.i shut it off and then restarted it and was able to get back over the bridge but then the same exact scenario happened again on the other side.on the way home, it happened a couple more times but i was able to get it home.i scheduled a service appointment at a ford dealer to take the truck in on monday.the vehicle has about 43,000 miles on it.as i mentioned earlier, i was almost rear-ended by another vehicle when this occurred, so, this is an extremely dangerous malfunction.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30-40 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. Additionally, the failure recurred while stopped at a traffic light with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The mechanic retrieved fault code: p0012 (intake (a) camshaft position timing -over- retarded (bank 1). The vehicle was not repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were contacted or informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 59,000.
Truck experienced multiple sensor failures over several months that reset.failures include car stalling in intersection, blind spot monitoring, back up sensors, car shutting off and turning back on on its own.car had to be powered down and shut off for 30 seconds before being allowed to restart.most recent failure resulted in truck horn going off as well as car turning off while going 35-40 mph then restarting on its own - car surged forward after it restarted itself.at the same time hazards coming on, doors unlocking and locking and rear tailgate opening.after bringing car to a complete stop, shut off car and it turned itself back on (horn went off, hazards went on, doors unlocked and locked, and rear tail gate released).towed to dealership for repairs and they were unable to recreate the problem.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving 80 mph, the check engine warning indicator illuminated and there were abnormal roaring and knocking sounds coming from the engine. The vehicle was taken to highway ford (18982 johnnie b hall memorial hwy, deridder, la 70634, (337) 462-5497) where it was diagnosed that there was a loose electrical connector in the engine compartment that was not seated correctly. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 56,000.
Intermittently while towing, after driving several hundred miles of non stop highwaydriving, the engine will kill after exiting the freeway. When i restart it by turning the key, it will kill again as soon as i put it in drive. This will happen several times before i get the engine to keep running. This happens only in the tow/haul mode. I have been to my local dealership 3 times and they have not been able to fix the problem.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled intermittently. The vehicle was taken to seekins ford lincoln (1625 seekins ford dr, fairbanks, ak 99701, 907-459-4000) where it was diagnosed that the throttle body fractured. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle exhibited the same symptoms as listed in ford program number: 16b32. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the contact did not qualify for the program. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.
Loss of throttle response while driving around 25 mph, check engine light came on and the engine was idling rough. Was able to drift over to the side of the road. Turned engine off then on with no change, turned off then on again and throttle worked normally but check engine light stayed on. Drove right to the dealer who determined it was a bad throttle body.
On 1/25/16, in the rain, at 6 am, i pulled out from a side street near my residence on to a major road and was increasing speed.i traveled about 150 yards and was up to about 40 mph. My truck suddenly decelerated to about 5 mph very quickly causing my car to skid in the rain.there was no accident since traffic was light at the time, so i pulled into the median and put the truck in park to see what was happening and i could not discover anything wrong.i then put the truck in gear and tried to accelerate again but the car would speed upto about 15 mph and then decelerate very quickly, almost giving it a bucking motion.after a few seconds the truck seemed to want to die, it would move and then seem to want to stop and die, and then repeat the process.i was able to get to the side of the road and park in a parking lot.i had my truck towed to the dealer and the dealer looked at it but said they couldn't find anything and had never heard of that happening to anyone before.i looked on the nhtsa site and found that many people had had this occur in this model.the work order received from the dealer did not indicate that anything was adjusted or replaced.to date it has not reoccurred.
When vehicle is sitting still it has a rough idle.it will also stall at time when sitting at a traffic light.vehicle is a 2016 f150 crewcab lariat fx4 with 5.0 engine
Attempting to accelerate, no power. Vehiclewas on 2 lane highway with concrete barriers on both sides and no shoulder. I was going approx 70 mph. I had our toddler, new born and wife in then vehicle. Vehicle slowed faster than i have ever felt before. Cars and trailers slamming on brakes. I'm assuming this did not trigger my brake lights and it was almost dark. So incredibly dangerous not to mention scary. Dash warnings indicated no traction control, hill decent or abs. Dealer is replacing the throttle body. This was a catastrophic and dangerous flaw.
Vehicle stalls while in motion, sitting stationary at a stoplight, or in park. Vehicle has stalled multiple times driving down the interstate at 55+ and leaves the driver unable to control vehicle and creates a safety hazard to the driver and others on the road.
Was stopped at red light in greensboro nc. Light turned green and i started to drive straight through the intersection when there was a complete loss of throttle response. I had to finish going through the intersection by momentum of the vehicle and gravity since there was no power. Fortunately there was no one else at the intersection or i'm sure i would have been hit. Was told by local ford dealer, green ford, problem was a defective "throttle body". 2nd ford vehicle i have been in, in less than a month, that this has happened (2015 f150-same defect - throttle body). Huge concern for safety of those of us who drive fords.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving approximately 65 mph, "see service manual, traction control not available, check engine" illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle lost power and the accelerator pedal did not respond. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road to a complete stop as it began to shake. When the vehicle was turned off and restarted, all the warning indicators went away and then illuminated again. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. Rich ford (8601 lomas blvd, albuquerque, nm 87112) was contacted via phone. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 49,500.
Exiting from interstate speed, coming to a complete stop at light, truck shakes and stalls.able to restart.no check engine light ever. Had left vehicle at dealer for 3-4 days with no issue found.fuel tank level weather full or 1/4 full still occurs.
Vehicle suddenly lost power while driving both from a stop and at highway speeds. I shut off vehicle and restarted it which seemed to temporarily solve the problem only to have it reoccur days later. Engine code registered on the dash display. Code was retrieved (p2112) which correlates to a faulty throttle body. Ford has acknowledged this problem with an extended warranty replacement, but my local dealership will not replace the throttle body, so i was forced to replace it myself and pay for the faulty part. My vehicle had less than 36,000 miles at the time of this incident. When the vehicle loses power in traffic, it is definitely a life, health, safety issue. There are numerous examples that can be found on the internet of this defective part/throttle body on various ford vehicles. I feel that ford should initiate a recall for obvious safety reasons. Ford has put out various tsb's regarding this documented problem.
After driving 30+ min when bringing vehicle to a stop at a red light or parked, truck isles down to 500rmp and rough ideal and chokes like it wants to stall. There is no consistency to this. Has been doing this for 1.5 years. Have been observing fuel levels, ambient temperature, engine temp and there is no consistency to it. There is never a check engine like that comes on and dealer has done a history search and there are no codes. Mechanics are scratching their heads. No recalls, no service advisories. Don't want to start tossing random parts into it.
Engine stalls while driving. This has happened multiple times where multiple warning lights will flash on the dashboard such as the collision detection being disabled and the electronic stability control has been disabled. As soon as these warnings appear, the truck's acceleration is disabled and it will coast to stop, but he truck is still running. It remains in a low idle that is very rough, vibrating the entire truck like it's about to kill the engine, but barely keeping the idle high enough to keep it going. This has happened at different speeds and there is nothing you can do, but try to pull off the road. Once stopped, you can put the truck in park and turn the truck off and back on. Sometimes only one restart is required, but sometimes it will do the same thing again shortly after you begin driving again. This can be extremely dangerous as this can happen in an intersection, highway, or freeway. There is no warning when this is about to happen.
Vehicle stall out while driving and wont start for a few minutes due do throttle body ford fails to recall..... More people are complaining same thing happens to them on carcomplains.com..... First time it happen i took it to dealer they start they couldn't figure out problem and change throttle body for me. Couple week pass same thing starts happening againcurrently at the dealer.....
The truck has had issues with the hillassist failure, then check engine light then wrench light causing the truck to go from 45 mph to 2mph without notice. The throttle bottle also went out on this truck causing the truck to go from 45 mph to 2 mph in traffic, this is the ford wrench light. On two seperate occasions, when starting the truck and releasing the parking brake, a parking brake malfunction light flashes, then when trying to move the truck into gear it will move from park to drive to reverse, but will not move. Please contact me asap. I have a detailed list of dates and occurances along with all email conversations with ford. Ford soes not believe this is a problem and seems to ignore the safety concerns.
Engine cuts out with error lights on dash, no throttle response or power. This is very dangerous as it happened on a busy interstate at around 70mph. We had to get the vehicle to the shoulder without power narrowly avoiding other vehicles and large trucks. This fault endangered the life of my family!! they have tried to repair this vehicle already by replacing the throttle pedal.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While the vehicle was stationary, fumes entered the cabin of the vehicle from the air conditioning system. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 17,000. Updated 01/05/2017*ct
The 2016 f150 with 40,000 miles on the engine had experienced a rough idle and engine stalls. The problem is in able to be predictable recreated causing the dealership to not solve the problem. When the truck was at 12000 miles, many engine parts were replaced to fix this issues however were unsuccessful. The vehicle is becoming difficult to drive or have repaired by the dealer. The vehicle typically rough isles or stalls when coming to a stop or sitting still. This poses a concerns when making a left on a standard green light with oncoming traffic.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, he started to smell exhaust gases inside the cabin of the vehicle. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to drive to his destination. The contact stated while inspecting the vehicle, he noticed both manifold were fractured and leaking. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that both manifolds needed to be replaced. The contact called mike white ford of coeur d'alene (315 w clayton ave, coeur d'alene, id 83815, (208) 664-9211) and informed the dealer of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
Bought a brand new, 2016 f150 lariat v8 4x4. At circa 2500 miles the vehicle started to make an unusual noise when driving at 45 to 60-mph. Took the vehicle for repair to the dealership. Dealership heard the noise also, but were not able to locate/fix it. They advised me to continue driving the car to see if the noise increased. At circa 3750 miles, i took the vehicle to the dealership for a second time since the noise was still present and evident. The dealership has kept the car for 10 days, and although the noise still can be heard, they dealership is informing me that they are not able to locate and fix the noise. They have instructed me to pick up the vehicle although they do not know what is wrong with it. I am worried to pick up a car that has not been fixed, that has a noise that was not present when new, and that is happening when driving at high speeds. The dealership/ ford must assume ownership of the vehicle since they can't fix it, and can't advise customers to keep driving the vehicle "since we can't find were the noise is coming from, there is nothing wrong with it".

Exhaust manifold studs broke causing the manifold to warp turning into an exhaust leak. This is a common issue with the 3.5 eco boost due to the lack of manifold studs towards the rear of the vehicle. This is a design flaw that is costing the average person approximately $1400. There are thousands of post and videos with this issue.
After doing extensive research on the 2016 3.5l f150 eco-boost exhaust manifold failure, it seems that this is a very common issue.especially when both sides are warped, it lends to the consideration that a design flaw involving a restriction of the front cylinders increases pressure to the point of failure.
Moisture in headlights . Making it difficult to see at night.
Purchased used 2016 f-150 in oct 2017.shortly after purchase tailgate would randomly open while vehicle was in motion.power tailgate would also open when key fob was used to lock vehicle.tail lights would also illuminate brightly as if brakes were applied when they were not when vehicle was in motion.other times tail lights would flicker on and off when vehicle was in motion.when computer was scanned no trouble codes were found.eventually after several trips to bmw dealership in spokane wa where vehicle was purchased vehicle was taken to wendle ford in spokane wa.at wendle ford technicians found extremely frayed wiring harness in area at rear of truck where bed and frame meet.wendle tech's said that they had never seen this type of damage / defect before, and when checking with ford corporate there were no service bulletins reference this type of problem. This description of events was prompted after reading a news report of ford super duty trucks exhibiting tail gate openings while vehicle in motion.all service notes and documentation can be obtained through wendle ford, spokane wa
Electric system went down, no lights,turn signals,horn wipers, etc. (radio kept working)engine started and drove home very carefully
The passenger side led headlight first began to flicker 2 months ago. Headlight would be on and then suddenly go off. Then the problem switched to the driver side headlight. Now, sometimes both lights go off. I have owned the truck for 2 years now and have had multiple people flash me at night indicating that my low beams are still to bright for the other drivers.
The head lights on both dim and bright do not shine ahead far enough to safely see at night.i have friends who have 2015 model year of the same truck and they have complained to me about it.and in bad weather the situation is much worse.
Very poor tail lights.the tail lights are only visible at a small area at the top and bottom. I have been stopped by the police for no tail lights. Very poor design on this model.
2016 ford f-150.consumer writes in regards to insufficient exterior lighting at night.the consumer stated the tail light assembly consisted of very small led lights on the top and bottom, a lens for the brake light and emergency flasher only, a lens for the side sensor that was dark at night, a reflector and back-up light. The consumer added reflectors above the rear bumper for added illumination when approached by other vehicles with their lights on. Vehicles approaching from the rear without their lights on will on see two small strips of light on each tail light. The consumer state he suggestion would be to illuminate the brake and emergency flasher section of the assembly with an led tail light bulb. Updated 09/01/16.
Fire and lots of smoke inside my truck when i used my remote start inside my garage ...dropped back seat, pulled carpet back and witness and recorded a burnt wire hanging down across rear window that kept burning and never stopped/popped a fuse or relay until i shut down the remote start. Ford dealership said it was the rear defroster that automatically turns on when using remote start ...replaced entire back window and wire harness split cost with ford not under warranty '.
2016 ford f-150. Consumer writes in regard to faulty throttle body assembly and for reimbursement for repairs.*as
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving 35 mph, the pressurized fuel line fractured causing an abnormal fuel odor inside the vehicle. The contact exited the vehicle and became aware of fuel leaking from the fuel line. The contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with the fuel line needing to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
With a 1/4 tank of gas or 53 miles to e on an 8% down hill grade the truck will not pick up gas from the tank and the engine will shut off as if it ran out of gas.
Throttle body failure
In tank fuel pump went out at 60,000 miles.
My 2016 ford f150 with engine block heater caught fire today 14 february 2020 at 11:12 am. It was moving and caught fire when i parked the truck
Vehicle suddenly lost power while driving both from a stop and at highway speeds. I shut off vehicle and restarted it which seemed to temporarily solve the problem only to have it reoccur days later. Engine code registered on the dash display. Code was retrieved (p2112) which correlates to a faulty throttle body. Ford has acknowledged this problem with an extended warranty replacement, but my local dealership will not replace the throttle body, so i was forced to replace it myself and pay for the faulty part. My vehicle had less than 36,000 miles at the time of this incident. When the vehicle loses power in traffic, it is definitely a life, health, safety issue. There are numerous examples that can be found on the internet of this defective part/throttle body on various ford vehicles. I feel that ford should initiate a recall for obvious safety reasons. Ford has put out various tsb's regarding this documented problem.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was noticed that the fuel tank leaked fuel. The technician diagnosed that the plastic fuel tank was cracked. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the sun hit the tank and caused it to crack. The dealer stated that the failure was not covered by the warranty. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vin was not provided. The contact replaced the tank. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.
While traveling on interstate at a speed of 80 mph, my 2016 f-150 eco boost with 50,000 miles went into limp mode due to a faulty electronic throttle body causing me to lose the ability to accelerate and worrying for my family's life as i was decelerating on a busy 4 lane freeway trying to find a way to pull over without being smashed.
I was recently pulling a travel trailer down a mountain pass with my 2016 f150 with the 3.5l ecoboost engine. The vehicle went into limp mode losing power to the motor, the travel trailer started 'fish tailing'!!the 2 vehicles behind me locked up their brakes (could visibly see smoke), the third vehicle was slower to react and pulled out and passed all 3 of us narrowly avoiding a head on collision! i took the truck to the service shop and it was determined to be the throttle body and it was replaced....for the 4th time in 94,000 miles!!! the previous 2 times this happened to me the same problem occurred (vehicle went into limp mode), but those times i was driving 75mph down a 5 lane freeway and had to crossover 5 lanes of traffic with no power to my engine! vehicles swerving everywhere, people locking up their brakes....minor miracle there were no accidents. I've filed complaints to ford on each occasion and they've done nothing about it! it's a common, well known problem that ford is aware of and somebody is eventually going to die because of this issue! asking for help!
Driving at 45 mph lost throttle only would idle lots of dash warning lights came on had to idle across train tracks to get shoulderof road had to have towed to dealer for repair, replaced throttle body.
Stalls at when at idol at stop lights. Mechanics can't find out why. No warnings lights in cash come on
While using my vehicle under normal conditions the check engine light came on so i had vehicle checked at autozone and o'reily's which showed 2 different codes and took it to machaik dealership. Turns out i had to have both cylinder heads replace, crankshaft bolt replaced as well as a few other items. I was told it was an issue that ford was aware of and didn't notify me of it when i bout the vehicle. They covered the cost due to the vehicle being under warranty which was about $5,000. $ months later i got my vehicle back and about 30 miles of driving 55mph it started blowing a thick cloud of white smoke with some grey smoke. I take the vehicle home and let it sit for 28 days before i have to use it and after about 23 miles it started smoking again. I take it to the same dealership again and i told them about the smoking issue, rough idle and the exhaust smells like gas which is not normal. I showed them a video of the issue which contains my mileage at the time and my license plate which clearly shows my vehicle so they cannot say it wasn't my vehicle. Waiting for the results of their findings and plan to update the complaint. I will not upload the video at this time due to it containing my license plate, don't know how to upload it from phone and i don't know how to edit that out. If it is necessary to update this complaint i will upload the video as proof as well as work order from previous and current work.my mileage will not be 100% accurate but it will be within 400 miles plus or minus
I noticed a faint smell of gas while driving the vehicle and after a few miles a car next to me at a stoplight asked me to roll down my window.they told me my truck was leaking gas all over the road so i immediately pulled over and called for help.it was towed to a dealership where they told me a fuel line fitting was loose which caused the leak.my frustration was this was a new vehicle with only 1500 miles.the leak was severe enough to drain a full tank of gas prior to being repaired.
Second time engine stalled while driving in less than 2 weeks!!!2016 ford f-150 xlt 2.7l eco-boost model. This is the second time the engine has stalled and shut off during driving! not even 3,600 miles on it yet. Typical stop and go traffic during rush hour.went to accelerate after rolling along with traffic (<10 mph) and nothing happens. Tachometer stays at around 500 rpm and does not go anywhere. Since this was the second time this has happen within the last 2 weeks so i wasn't too surprised this time around. I put it in neutral and shut off ignition and try cranking it. Rpms would barely stutter around 400-500 rpm and would not stay on. Tried a few more attempts while still rolling in neutral. I had to brake to a stop, put it in park, and had attempted to crank it several more times until it finally started up and was idling correctly around 800-900 rpm. This is definitely a safety issue and should be investigated immediately. Dealer says oem has known issue with throttle body causing ford vehicles to stall while driving. Unfortunately, dealer says my vin is not part of vehicle models affected by this issue. Obviously it is happening to the 2016 f150s. Both of my incidents did not throw a code so there seems to be nothing dealer can do to fix the problem for the moment. I do not want to keep driving this vehicle with this defective part and unsafe condition, especially with my infant son in the rear cab.
Behavior matches the issues described in ford recall 16b32. When i accelerate the vehicle the engine occasionally stops accelerating and goes into a failure mode where i cannot accelerate. A few warnings show up on the dashboard related to hill start assist and being disabled and to service advance track. Turning the car off and back on resolves the problem, but this is very dangerous as i'm usually accelerating to get onto a highway where it's not safe to have my vehicle stop. From the description of the recall my vehicle should be included in 16b32 (manufactured between 8/31/15 to 4/27/16 in kansas city), but ford tells me my vin is not listed as affected. This problem has occurred twice now and it is unpredictable in when it will occur. A quick google search of "hill start assist failure" shows a large number of other ford owners with the exact same problem.
Highway driving at 55 mph, ding and message "service advancetrac", "hill start assist not available". Throttle unresponsive and truck immediately begins slowing. Managed to get off road without an accident. Engine running roughly in idle. Turn engine off and restart. Operates normally.this has occurred 3 times and puts the vehicle and passengers in an extremely unsafe position! internet research indicates that this is a common issue with ford throttle bodies.ford company and dealership refuse to acknowledge that this is a common problem.trouble code shows p2112.
For the last year my car have been leaking fumes and smelling of carbon monoxide. I have complained to mission valley ford, big valley ford and all star ford. When i start the vehicle there is white smoke and a strong fume. They said it's the ecoboost. Secondly the turbo they say has gone out already at 87k miles and i believe the smell and the turbo is connected.
Ford throttle body issue - vehicle has less than 9000 miles.while traveling on highway (65-70mph) in a remote area, the vehicle suddenly loss acceleration and begun to shudder. No response when pressing gas pedal. We coasted to the roadside and attempted to restart the car. Vehicle dash warnings for descent assistance and collision avoidance appeared. Third attempt to restart vehicle worked. The issue occurred on 4 other occasions including stalling in a busy intersection shortly after accelerating from a stop. Each time restarting the car results in shuddering and error messages on the dash. Dealership says its a known issue and parts will take up to 3 weeks plus repair time. Manufacturer offered only to check on parts and update us 4 days later. They did not offered loan vehicle. Internet research points to defective throttle body for similar vehicles.vehicle also has a defective sensor for tailgate ajar that has been unresolved in two attempts to repair.vehicle is unsafe to drive.
While driving on a highway on 8/30/20, the truck experienced a complete loss of forward motion, began "bucking" and codes and warnings started appearing on the dashboard.were able initially to coast to a safer location to stop.truck would not move although the engine was running.turned the truck off, restarted and all codes disappeared.however, as soon as we started again, within a quarter mile, same failure occurred.in 20 miles, this happened approximately 6 more times and we could not get safely off the road (no shoulders with ditch on side) having to come to a complete stop, turn engine off and restart the vehicle while in the traffic lane.very unsafe and we were lucky not to be hit by passing vehicles.after researching what this possible could be, found it likely that it was a failure of the electronic throttle body, which was the subject of a recall in previous year models of this vehicle as well as a customer satisfaction action #16b32 for replacement of the electronic throttle body for our year of manufacture.(our truck was manufactured in dearborn during the period that this action was to be taken 8/1/15 through 5/17/16.)made appointment at local dealer and our truck was serviced yesterday at pittsville ford in pittsville md and the diagnosis was the electronic throttle body failure.the etb and gasket were replaced at a cost to us of $551.14.i have seen online threads of others having this same failure and want to know why ours was not part of a recall or other, longer customer satisfaction action, as this could have caused a severe or even fatal accident.very dangerous to have this type of catastrophic failure with no warning at all.i have reported this issue for ford and my questions regarding why this was not already replaced and have been assigned a case number - cas-27541116.told our vin was not a part of this action.how?
My vehicle was in motion at approximately 65 mph when it suddenly entered a limp mode, indicated by multiple dash warning lights and an abrupt loss of power. The vehicle was incredibly unsafe to operate in such condition. Ford has a known problem with the electronic throttle body used on these motors, but has failed to issue a recall on a part that could cause great bodily harm and injury if it should fail in heavy traffic scenarios.
Throttle body failure
Reported my issue already 11229377 but wanted to point out that at a quick glance there are another 30+ nhtsa safety complaints for my same issue. 11022233, 10955596, 11174190, 10870553, 10887486, 11165975, 11150176, 11139022, 11101604, 11048673, 1102997, 11174190 to name a few. Ford has also issues several tsb and ssm for this issue. Tsb16-0139, tsb17-2124, ssm46829, tsb16b23-s1. At what point does nhtsa put pressure on ford to resolve these issues? will it require a death to be associated to this issue? a fire, accidents? there are also countless online forum posts on this issue. I can find numerous links showing this but i think the sheer number of complaints on here coupled with warranty numbers for this issue should be sufficient to open an investigation. I plan to write a letter to my local news outlets and governor.
Exhaust smell in cab. Have to drive with windows down to get rid of it. Ford says they can only help me when the smell is actually happening meaning i have to go to the shop right then and there. Also xm radio cuts in at out. Ford knows it's an issue but has no fix. It's at the same intersections everyday. They said keep checking in for possible fixed.
On 9/6/2020, while driving approx 60mph on hwy 128 between jal and carlsbad nm, the brake pedal on my 2016 ford f150 lariat went to the floor and i had no brakes. A message on my dash came up saying to add brake fluid and i did. I took my truck to the nearest dealership, carslbad ford lincoln. The master cylinder and booster had a recall and was replaced, but the brake fluid that leaked into the engine was never addressed by the service and repair center. As a result, i now have over $6,000 worth of collateral damage to my engine that the dealership is refusing to fix because i'm being blamed for the damages for adding brake fluid to the resevoir. It's beyond obvious that the only way any brake fluid leaked into the engine was due to the damaged manufacturer part(s), the master cylinder and the booster, that were not only damaged but in recall status - recall# 20s31. The gm and service manager of the carslbad ford lincoln dealership have the power, the support and backing of a behemoth. They have the full support of the great american auto giant ford motor company and i have 100% nothing and nobody! there has to be some law or some thing to protect your everyday innocent tax paying american citizen from being taken advantage of by people who work for these powerful entites and/or companies. I'm writing this complaint on 9/27 and they've had my truck since 9/12; just over two weeks. I'm issuing this complaint because i literally cannot pay for the $6,212 worth of repairs that ford motor co is accountable and responsible for. Also, with (2) blown turbo chargers, tube asy, converter asy, sensors etc which all need to be replaced; my truck is not safe for me to drive and other citizens communting with or without their families on american highways shouldn't be subjected to this unsafe vehicle being on the road.
My truck lost complete power on 8/3/19. Several different waning lights came on. Fortunatley, i was lost power on a straight stretch of road at about 30 mph. I was able to "limp" my truck back home. I have a code reader and it showed code p2112 "throttle actuator control system stuck closed". I searched online and found a ford customer service letter from 2016-2017 addressing this issue with an expiration notice of september 2017. I purchased the vehicle used in december 2016 and was never sent any notice. I find it incredible that ford knows about a defect that causes a vehicle to lose power suddenly, and addresses it with this bandaid level of service. It is a simple and inexpensive fix. I fixed it myself in less than an hour with a part purchased from ford that was less than $200. My concern is that ford did not notify me and will not stand by this dangerous defective issue. They have told me there was an expiration on that letter and they will not help me. Please force them to do an actual recall on this issue before someone is killed! thank you for your time.
Throttle body failure
I was merging onto a highway and i went to accelerate and li ended up with a complete loss of power, no acceleration, and a flashing wrench on my screen telling me that i was having a hill decent issue and service advancetrac error. As i tried to get off the road once i lost power; the car started shaking violently while at a complete stop.
Gas tank fuel pump and fuel pump driver went bad at 56,000 miles.would start when cranking then idle rough for a few seconds and shut off
On 1/25/16, in the rain, at 6 am, i pulled out from a side street near my residence on to a major road and was increasing speed.i traveled about 150 yards and was up to about 40 mph. My truck suddenly decelerated to about 5 mph very quickly causing my car to skid in the rain.there was no accident since traffic was light at the time, so i pulled into the median and put the truck in park to see what was happening and i could not discover anything wrong.i then put the truck in gear and tried to accelerate again but the car would speed upto about 15 mph and then decelerate very quickly, almost giving it a bucking motion.after a few seconds the truck seemed to want to die, it would move and then seem to want to stop and die, and then repeat the process.i was able to get to the side of the road and park in a parking lot.i had my truck towed to the dealer and the dealer looked at it but said they couldn't find anything and had never heard of that happening to anyone before.i looked on the nhtsa site and found that many people had had this occur in this model.the work order received from the dealer did not indicate that anything was adjusted or replaced.to date it has not reoccurred.
Truck will stall/shut off at a stop while towing. Red battery light will show on dashboard. Car will turn over then shut down again by itself within a few seconds. This happened 3 times at this point- once while in gas station in line to get gas (stationary) once at intersection (stationary at stop light), another time after stopping vehicle to get gas. At first event 30 minutes after it not working a jump started the vehicle successfully, at second instance jump would not start car, had to get towed, at third instance we were able to start vehicle by holding throttle down while putting in drive. Brought to ford dealership- said nothing was wrong, would not work on truck, said no computer codes were found.
Related to tsb-16-0139. While driving: hill start assist unavailable message; service advancetrac message. Wrench icon, traction icon, and check engine icon displayed. Truck went into limp mode. Rough idle, would not accelerate until turned off and back on. Dealership diagnosed to replace throttle bodies. Would not cover under extended warrantyi believe there may have been a recall on some f150s, but it didn't include my month/year of manufacture, to the best of my knowledge.
Engine at normal operating temp, from a stop accelerated onto highway but before reaching 50 mph truck quite accelerating and went to idle check engineand other warning lights came on the accelerator pedal went dead would not do any thing when pushed.semi truck and traffic coming from behind had to do evasive driving to avoid crashing into truck, truck idle with hazards on to safearea to pull off highway. Called tow truck to tow to dealership ,dealer replaced throttle body to repair.
Truck was running normal no check engine lights,making rt. Hand turn onto highway truck started to accelerate then the accelerator pedal quite working lots of dash warning lights came on and truck would only idle,used hazards to idle off highway , shut off ignition and restarted truck still would not accelerate,let truck idle in gear to getoff highway,let truck sit over night and triedto drive next morning started to accelerate then quiteidle only called to have towed to dealer for repair,dealer replaced throttle body.
I just purchased a 2016 ford f150 lariat crew cab on 11/3/2018 and was coming to work on 11/5/2018 and the it started to idle roughly very slightly when at a stop in traffic, this happend about 3 times each time getting worse and then it did stall on the 4th time and it was a noticeable rough idle.
Driving down interstate 80 at 70mph and track assist error, then hill start assist unavailable error, wrench light (see manual), engine light.i depress the gas pedal and there is no response, the engine rpm does not increase.i have to pull off to the side of the interstate, towing a boat, luckily not in construction zone ahead with concrete barriers on both sides.turn off and restart, the engine / rpm still do not respond.turned off for 5 minutes while i make a call.turn on again and rough idle but the engine responds and i am able to drive the remaining 15 miles to home.exact thing happened again 4 days later on 2 lane, hilly, country highway without a shoulder.i stopped in the road, hazards on, turned off/on again, didn't respond to gas. Wait 5 minutes turned on again and was able to get to home.
Unknowngas mileage has plummeted from 19mpg highway/city down to 12.5mpg highway/cityhard starting is random so very hard to catch for auto mechanics,new spark plugs, no check engine lights, multiple mechanics both dealership and 3rd party cannot find anything wrong with the truckfuel pump tested and is fine, o2 sensor either working properly or not telling the computer something is wronggas mileage suddenly plummeted with no reason, nothing is telling the computer anything is wrong and nobody can find out why my gas mileage has plummeted so drastically with no signs of bad or faulty parts
Complete unexpected loss of power at highway speeds or when accelerating. Has happened repeatedly even after several repairs related to the throttle body by dealer. First happened in the 40,000 mile range and after repairs again at 83,000 miles.
2016 ford f-150 2.7l ecoboost model with only 3,928 miles. This is the third time engine has cut off on me while driving/accelerating! was taking a left turn from side road onto main road. While accelerating in the turn, engine started stuttering a few times (rpms would dip) and then it stalled out. Luckily i was able to complete my left hand turn without getting hitting by oncoming traffic and was able to pull over immediately. This time around the engine would not restart. Had to call ford's roadside assistance to get towed to nearest dealership. The last two instances the dealer could not pull a code or diagnose what was wrong so nothing was done. This time the dealership has a dead truck on arrival so they can't tell me that there is nothing wrong with it (service and diagnostics has yet to be completed at the time of this writing). I have been in touch with ford regional rep regarding my cases and i am told they cannot do anything until the dealer can diagnose what the root cause is. Obviously something is wrong. There are dozens of other complaints of engine stalling while driving.
2016 f150 with the 2.7l ecoboost randomly dies after startup. Sometimes it will die while in motion almost causing an accident. There's no stored codes for the dealer. It's been in the shop 6 times total. The first time they put a crankcase vent sensor and then the 2nd time sparkplugs. It's dies and gone into limp mode multiple times but the dealer can't duplicate the problem so they can't fix it. It started at 9,000 miles and it now has 14,000 miles. I'm pretty sure it's the throttle body but they won't replace it without a code. It has happened randomly from march 2017 until today 8-13-17. I also have a recording saved on my snap-on scan tool of the parameters at the time it went into limp mode.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving at any speed, the vehicle made noises from the engine and transmission areas. The contact stated that the vehicle consumed too much fuel and the air conditioning blew hot air. Also, the oil low pressure warning indicator illuminated and flashed off and on. The contact also stated that the brakes squeaked and the front passenger side tire deflated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (koons ford in sterling, va) for diagnostic testing. The dealer found nothing wrong with the vehicle; however, the failures recurred several times. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the same dealer several times and, during one of the visits, the engine was replaced without the contact's consent. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and did not assist. The vehicle was not completely repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 40.
It idles rough at stop light sometimes shuts down ,radio screen is blank sometimes w radio or phone call. Electrical burning smell enough to make me nauseous. The computer reads no codes. This happens every couple of days, it has been at 2 different shops up to weeks at a time they have changed several parts but none have fixed it.
I was driving down the road and engine lost complete power, but the engine was still running. I was able to get off the road and shut the engine off and restart it. This happened again a couple of weeks later. I called the ford dealer on saturday and was informed that it was probably a throttle body issue. I was able to get an appointment on monday, but this problem occurred again about 10 times over the weekend. In my opinion this should be a safety recall as this issue could occur while passing on a narrow tow lane road, going through an intersection, crossing a railroad track, etc.,. From an internet research i i found that ford has issued tsb 16-0139 on october 10, 2016 and there were numerous comments from others having the same problem. In fact the maintenance manager at ford told me this had happened to him twice.
Instrument panel lights up with various fault messages related to traction control, downhill descent, etc... Within seconds the vehicle begins to stutter, fails to respond to attempts to accelerate by pressing gas peddle, and eventually loses power. Happened twice while travelling at highway speeds resulting in a dangerous scenario of pulling to the side of the highway.
Engine at normal operating temp. Driving at 45- 50 mph lost accelerator pedal several dash warning lights all came on and and truck only would idle.pushing on the accelerator did nothing, had to puton hazard flashers and idle to safe place to pull off highway. Called tow truck to tow to dealer for repair. Dealer replaced throttle body.
While driving on a busy highway with no warning my f-150 lost power.when this happened the drive power decreased by about 95%, and warnings appeared on the dashboard. These warnings included: service advance trac, hill descent fault, see manual, airbag fault, and the service wrench. The engine idledroughly and the vehicle had to be turned off. We restarted and the same issues occurred so we parked the vehicle.
I had my truck towed to auto fair ford and had to have the fuel pump replaced with $100 extended warranty and the car is a year old. After fixing it they were having issues with it not startingand called ford to trouble shoot the issue. Today 3/2/18 they called to say a mouse or rodent chewed through the wiring. I have lived i'm my home since 1999 and many cars in the drive way this has never happened before. My brother said the wiring is soy based. I called liberty mutual insurance and comprehensive has a $500 deductible. They will look at the truck 3/5/18 at auto fair ford in manchester nh. I now have to pay$600 to a vehicle i have owned less then 5 months to auto fair ford. Seems odd this is happing on a new vehicle
We just took my 2016 f150 ecoboost to west texas over thanksgiving. Towed under 7500 lbs. Towed completely normal the whole time (15 hours) until the return trip home. About 2.5 hours into my return trip (i was towing without my husband and with two young kids on a back highway with no cell service and absolutely no stops for 2 of those hours😯) i pulled over to see where my next gas station was and my truck died. It would restart but would die again. I finally figure i'm screwed, i'll try and just hit the gas and go. So i took off and blew through a stop sign and didn't stop until i reached a gas station, where it died when i stopped.. It was saturday afternoon and all the repair shops were closed and there weren't any parts stores open. I finally unplugged the camper, thinking it was draining my battery and started it up and gassed it to get it going and didn't stop until i reached sonora and camped for the night, about 20 miles away. And then my truck was totally fine after that. I never hooked the camper back up and i had filled up the gas tank and put fuel injection cleaner into the tank and didn't have any more stalls. The only light that came on when it stalled was the battery light.
Throttle body failure
Driving about 50 mph lost engine speed suddenly to about 10 mph.have been told by 2 others that this also happened to them.same truck model.root cause given was throttle body cable.accelarator box.having ours towed to dealer ship today.under 10,000 miles on vehicle.
I was operating my 2016 ford f150 on a secondary gravel rd at 30 mph in 2wd.upon going a slight uphill grade, the vehicle lost all acceleration and came to a stop idling roughly at 1000 rpm.the wrench light, hill decent and traction control warning light illuminated.the engine idled but would not accelerate.i shut off the engine and restarted it.this seemed to correct the problem clearing the error codes.however, continuing on the road, the same problem occurred 3 miles later. I was in a remote area in the state and had to travel 60 miles to a urban area.this problem occurred at least 20 more times with greater frequency until arriving at my residence.the vehicle was repaired by the ford dealership in sheridan, wy.the fix was as follows. Diag, p2112-throttle actuator a control system, stuck closed, pinpoint to throttle body. Replaced throttle body, cleared codes.my vehicle had 38,450 miles when this incident occurred on october 17, 2019, 4:30 pm. After doing some research with other ford f150 owners, this appears to be a prominent problem and in my mind, a dangerous one.most of the incidences appear to happen in the similar mileage range but in other model years, 2017 and 2018 were prevalent also.the ford service manager related he had done allot of these repairs recently.their is no recall for this issue at this time.

2016 ford f-150. Consumer writes in regard to faulty throttle body assembly and for reimbursement for repairs.*as
While driving on a highway on 8/30/20, the truck experienced a complete loss of forward motion, began "bucking" and codes and warnings started appearing on the dashboard.were able initially to coast to a safer location to stop.truck would not move although the engine was running.turned the truck off, restarted and all codes disappeared.however, as soon as we started again, within a quarter mile, same failure occurred.in 20 miles, this happened approximately 6 more times and we could not get safely off the road (no shoulders with ditch on side) having to come to a complete stop, turn engine off and restart the vehicle while in the traffic lane.very unsafe and we were lucky not to be hit by passing vehicles.after researching what this possible could be, found it likely that it was a failure of the electronic throttle body, which was the subject of a recall in previous year models of this vehicle as well as a customer satisfaction action #16b32 for replacement of the electronic throttle body for our year of manufacture.(our truck was manufactured in dearborn during the period that this action was to be taken 8/1/15 through 5/17/16.)made appointment at local dealer and our truck was serviced yesterday at pittsville ford in pittsville md and the diagnosis was the electronic throttle body failure.the etb and gasket were replaced at a cost to us of $551.14.i have seen online threads of others having this same failure and want to know why ours was not part of a recall or other, longer customer satisfaction action, as this could have caused a severe or even fatal accident.very dangerous to have this type of catastrophic failure with no warning at all.i have reported this issue for ford and my questions regarding why this was not already replaced and have been assigned a case number - cas-27541116.told our vin was not a part of this action.how?
Red surface rust on rear axle.
The vehicle stalls between shifts. It has happened at all speeds. Freeway, pulling out of my drive. It has stalled while im trying to turn left in front of uncoming traffic. Numerous warning lights fill the dash. No throttle response. After you can pull it over, turn it off, wait a few seconds, then restart it runs fine. Til it happens again out of the blue. Ive had it into my ford dealership 3 times now and they still cant fix it. Happened just yesterday, about got hit by an on coming vehicle. Luckily, after a horn and slamming on their brakes, they stopped to see if everything was ok. Again slow speeds or fast, it just stalls. You are left without power when you need it the most. Very dangerous situation. This has happened while on the freeway, just a shutter and im left rolling with no power. Its happened pulling out of my driveway. Its happened turning into on coming traffic. Ford wont do anything about it. Again 3 times in the dealership and they always say "without a trouble code theres nothijg we can do". This is going to get somebody killed. Could have been me just yesterday.
Earlier this year, my f-150 started showing signs of overheating. A diagnostic was done and showed nothing. Following this i had the thermostat replaced 3 times. I was experiencing 'limp mode' where i'd be on the highway and the truck would go from 65 to 20 in seconds with only a "bing" sound as a warning. I researched on line to learn what the cause might be.and determined it was probably the etc sensor/knock sensor. My regular mechanic would reboot? the computer system and it would work for a while and then the same thing would happen. I finally went to the ford dealership where i originally purchased the truck. Due to the unprofessionalism of this dealership, i was compelled to contact ford corporate office. They informed me that even though this is a manufacturer's defect and there have been complaints about it, they were not in a large enough number to warrant a recall.
While towing a travel trailer, my 2016 ford f-150 2.7l ecoboost engine exhibits intermittent engine stalls when coming to a stop and/or after restarting the vehicle.i had to gun the engine after restarting to keep it running.note: this only happens when towing.
Truck was in park with the engine running.nobody was in the truck which was on a slight incline.it was standing still in the back yard while i was trying to get the garage door closed.it took off going through a chainlink fence, across a neighbors yard, and came to rest on a bank on the other side of the neighbors yard. The fence and brush caused several heavy scratches to the truck.

Hill assist and autotrac malfunction.2016 ford f-150, less than 8,000 miles.warning indicator suddenly comes on and vehicle loses all power going from highway speed to 2mph in seconds without warning.happened 4 times in two weeks on straight, level road, dry and clear conditions.one time was on the highway at 65mph, others were city roads around 25-35mph.one time was after a normal right turn, others just randomly while traveling straight.i took it to the dealer and they replaced the throttle body but researching online, this appears to be a common problem with f-150s.there should be a recall considering the danger posed from a vehicle that suddenly loses power and decelerates without warning.i also read another account where replacing the throttle body did not solve the issue so it remains to be seen if this fix works on my vehicle.
Vehicle was in motion merging on to interstate i-26 at 60 mph during afternoon rush hour traffic in charleston, south carolina, when it unexpectly and without warning down shifted from high gear to low gear while driving.

Driving eastbound on i-10 at 75 -80 mph, on a mountain, suddenly advanctrac fault warning and engine power lost. Vehicle entered limp mode. I was forced to 'limp' on the shoulder to reach a safe area to stop with cell service and wait for a tow truck. This was a very dangerous situation. Semi traffic at high speeds were blowing past very little shoulder space to navigate. At each guard rail i was forced to stop - wait for a break in traffic- restart and pray for enough momentum to get around the area. I finally limped into wilcox az and contacted ford roadside assistance. The vehicle was towed 74 miles to smith ford in lordsburg nm $280. Fra advised that due to covid 19 no personal transportation is available. No alternate transportation is available in wilcox az.smith ford service does not open until monday. Another roadside service $205 put computer on it. Code p2112 throttle actuator 'a' control system stuck closed. Pyramid roadside service found damaged wiring behind accelerator pedal and loose pedal. I had to walk alone in the desert to find a hotel. I eventually walked another 2 miles pulling a suitcase to a grayhound station to phoenix sunday (274 miles).i will contact dealer tomorrow.ford has been aware customer satisfaction program to replace defective etb 2015 & 2016 f150. I purchased may 5, 2019 and was not made aware of potentially dangerous situation. No recall was issued for this dangerous defect. Not only could i have been seriously injured on the interstate, i was put in very high risk situations both due to covid 19 high risk in this part of the country but also my personal safety being alone without transportation in an area with limited resources. Thus far i am out of pocket $800.00 and do not know what additional expenses i may incur until my truck is repaired. I live in papillion, ne and have a long way to go to get back home.

Back up camera worked until ford dealer worked on it, has not worked since then and dealer (house ford address: 3538 hwy 61 w, red wing, mn 55066) wont or can't fix it.
The truck shakes on highway just at high speed like 65-70 feels like the drive shaft it's loose because every time y give gas make a noise like clock clock hard n sometimes a light cone on saying transmission not on park
Three issues: 1. Sudden loss of brakes while moving, brake pedal went to the floor and had no brakes.2. Front axle (4x4) tries to engage on its own from time to time while driving.3. Excessive backlash in rear end while driving.
Over the past few weeks, my truck would loose power and go into limp mode randomly.i would pull over, turn the truck off, and back on.it would be okay for a couple of days and then occur again.this would happen in town and twice while on the freeway.i took it in today and had the code read:p2112 throttle actuator control system - stuck closed
There appears to be "slack" in the drivetrain, as if it has a bad universal joint. There is often a clunk when you step on the gas when pulling away from a stop. It was recently checked at the dealer while in for an oil change. They said they found nothing wrong with it. I read on an f150 forum site that this is a rather common complaint. The dealer has told others that there is nothing wrong with it. It happens often when pulling away from a stop sign but others have reported it also happens to their truck while cruising down the highway and stepping on the gas pedal.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle downshifted and ceased in first or second gear. The vehicle inadvertently shifted into third gear and ceased in third while the contact was transitioning from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal at a stoplight. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed that the lead frame had failed. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vin was not under recall. The contact was referred to the nhtsa to file a complaint. The failure mileage was 85,600.
First time inwas driving in town, flat road no hills going about 35 on a turn, when my truck just stopped accelerating abruptly and was barely creeping along..multiple warning lights starting with hill assist came on. I got to side of road shut truck off and restarted indicators came back, so i started again to take to brother in laws house and it happened again.called dealer they said take it out see if check engine lights come on. I take off on highway got to about 45 accelerating to 55 and again is just stops abruptly, lights flash again, i have no power no acceleration, only this time i have traffic near me a semi almost took me out because there is no warning when it happens.check engine ligh comes on. My brother in law notice the temp gauge stayed cold and transmission temp was low, also i wasn't pulling anything at the time so transmission wasn't hot.i baught truck used less than a yr ago and have just over 40k miles on it. I have only pulled a popup camper with it so far. Noticed this seems to be a known problem for this truck. Will be contacting dealer today. I have included photos of warning flights that pop up.
Hill descent control fault/ service advancetrac warning suddenly turned on. Alternated w service light. But i was just driving home from work on a 70 degree day on a dry paved road decelerating from a 40mph zone to a 30 mph zone up a slight incline.i wasn't using hill descent and traction was fine. The disturbing part was the vehicle suddenly ran rough and had no power. I could not get it to run well enough pull it over out of the traffic lane. An on off cycle returned function for a few seconds and i got around the corner before the fault occurred again. With no hills the last block i got to my driveway where a longer off period returned the vehicle to function. This type of sudden power loss could cause an accident.
The truck makes a loud transmission squall under load in a downshift. This is a consistent issue that ford and the local dealer continue to say they cannot repeat. Anytime i drive the truck in terrain it happens. And i do not off road the vehicle, before you start asking those questions. Also when the transmission is cold/ambient temp, the shifting is incredibly rough, and jerky. Not just a little but the whole truck will lunge. This is a 5.0 v8 truck, not light and for it lung is disturbing. I am sure if this happens in close traffic someone will hit something. Only a matter of time.
While driving straight ahead at a steady 35 mph on a 2% downgrade, small city, double lane, one-way, debris free street, the automatic transmission shifted abruptly from 4th gear to 1st gear.i did not make any gear shift lever changes nor did i change any options such as pushing the sport mode, tow mode,locking differential, hill descent or traction control buttons. I was seated comfortably, both hands on the steering wheel, seat belt fully engaged with no in-vehicle distractions such as a phone or radio tuning.the engine immediately raced to 6400 rpm causing the rear wheels to start a skid even though the road surface was dry and free of any debris.after approximately 4 seconds i realized that the transmission had forcibly, on its own, shifted into 1st gear, so i put the transmission into neutral. The dash mounted gear indicator showed 4th gear during this altercation which made it harder to know what was going on until i shifted to neutral. Although it took another 5 seconds for the transmission to respond fully to this input, it finally went into neutral. Shortly thereafter the rear wheels went into coast mode.i was able to narrowly avoid colliding with the vehicles in the left lane because of my quick corrective action of putting the transmission gear selector into neutral.i've not had this dangerous self-shifting transmission to 1st gear at highway speed occur but the one time on september 19, 2019, but it does still concern me.my truck had approximately odometer 32,000 miles at the time of this occurrence. I bought the truck new with 16 miles and have not modified or poured any additives into the transmission. My truck has not been abused or towed. I sincerely hope this doesn't happen to any other 2016 f150 truck owners, but perhaps, unfortunately it may have.i also hope this helps in maybe finding a fix should there need to be one.
Sudden loss of power ,did not stall ,no engine light ,in the span of 1/2 mile did it 3 times ,pulled off road each time and let idle in neutralthen took off again. Then it went 2 miles ok ,stoppedfor 2hours ,back on road again at appiroximately 1 mile loss power again ,i did same as above it di it twice more within 1/2 mile again ,then it was ok for 1 1/2 miles then did again on a really bad curve , then i drove another 2 miles to my home and called 800 # to ford ,they tow truck pick it up took to my dealer ,they had a week could not find anything wrong ,they put approximately 50+ miles on it ,no problem drove normally ,called me to pick it up no way tell what was wrong without a code ,drive till it happens again and call us , i said i'll call but if no code what happens then ,no sense bringing back to you because no no can fix ,no answer to that ,give back the old days pre computer at least you could always fix those vehicles ,with computer not even a clue. An they dare to put driverless cars on the road!! at the right time an location could cause a deadly accident!
As i was driving down a major interstate i94 while changing lanes my 2016 f150 3.5 ecoboost entered limp mode in front of a semi i just recently passed.the semi had to slam on his brakes and i had to swerve to theside of the road to avoid a collision.the service advancetrac and wrench/service light was lit up on the dash. The vehicle would not move.the truck ran but when the gas pedal was pressed the engine sputtered and wouldnt move.
Was parking my trailerand had unhooked it go in to move it forward so i could put mytrailer lock on left the door open like i have done countless times put the truck in park and got out started to walk back when the engine accelerated and the truck started to move backwards turned to jump in to hit the break when the door knocked me down the front tire hit my knee and leg and the door caught a post ripping it forward
I have a critical safety issue with the 2016 f150 truck i bought from cavalier ford, chesapeake va.the issue is the 6r80 automatic transmission unexpectedly changes gears while driving.in my case the truck down shifted from high gear to low gear on theinterstate while driving about 70 miles per hour.i was fortunate no other carswere near me.my truck almost came to a stop, no brake lights displayed.this occurred the week on jul 6 2021. It has occurred multiple times since than as well. I had the battery checked, showed bad, and bought a new one jul 9th.i also had the "check engine" light scanned at autozone.it revealed codes p0706/707, ie range sensor inside the transmission.i called cavalier for an appt (aug 11th almost a month away!!!),informed it would be $140 for a diagnostic!!it was free at autozone. I also had another free scan done at logan's auto repair onjul 22nd, having codes p0702/705/706/707/1921, all pointing to the range sensor in the tranny.i spoke with cavalier representative nicole on jul 16th, no help, and also left service mgr. Cathy hunt. A voicemail on jul 23rd explaining my dilemma.she has not returned my call.my status now, i have a 2016 f150 ford truck, i urgently need to work and daily errands, ie grandkids.there was a recall on this issue on the 2011/12 f150s.how come not now, its a major safety issue, and i see a lot of these trucks around.i wanted to convey this to ms hunt.summary...the motor in this truck blew up at approx 39000 miles,and ford did replace it.now, at 79000 miles the transmission is also gone out. Since my extended warranty of 75000 just expired, i need some assistance from eithercavalier or the ford plant.i need a reliable truck for work and taking careof the grandkids.if no one has reached out to me my cob jul 28th 2021,a safety complaint will be sent in to the national highway traffic safety administration...thank you
2016 ford f-150. Consumer writes in regards to issues with transmission. Consumer is also seeking reimbursement for vehicle price or replacement vehicle. *ld
When first turn the truck on and it's cold, the transmission will slip out of first gear into third and then into fifth. When you stop, the transmission slams back into first gear and jerks until it gets into second gear. Only does when the teuck is cold typically. The truck has been to the dealer four times to get repaired for this issue. I'm told that it's a programming issue each time. After the programming is reset, the transmission will function correctly for a few days and then the issue will start happening again.
Power steering failed twice while backing upthere is a shutter when coming to a stop. Sometimes hard enough to feel like you were hit from behind
Driving 60 mph hour and vehicle suddenly lost all power. This happened twice. The vehicle hill decent light and some other warning lights would come on and the vehicle would shake violently. It would then lose all power and i had to coast off to the side, turn the vehicle off, wait 30 seconds, and restart. It would then go about a 1/2 mile and do it again. I purchased the vehicle as a certified vehicle a month earlier.the electronic throttle body has failed. However, the dealership was having issues replicating the issue and they were back ordered on the part.the vehicle has 29500 miles on it. This is dangerous as i could be rear ended. Believe me, if that happens, lawsuits will fly!
As i was driving about 40 mph, the truck suddenly decelerated to almost a stand still. Two messages appeared on the dash board info system. Service needed for hill assist and advance trac, or something similar. I had to drive home, half mile, at a walking pace which was as fast as the truck would go. There was no warning. This is a deadly flaw.how could you not have ford f150 in your database?
Brand new vehicle experiences constant high frequency vibration occurs while driving from 50mph-60mph.
Intermittently while towing, after driving several hundred miles of non stop highwaydriving, the engine will kill after exiting the freeway. When i restart it by turning the key, it will kill again as soon as i put it in drive. This will happen several times before i get the engine to keep running. This happens only in the tow/haul mode. I have been to my local dealership 3 times and they have not been able to fix the problem.
This new 2016 ford f150 with 1300 miles on it as a vibration at 40 to 58 miles per hr been to three dealer no fixever drove 2017 the same thingneed recall to fixor ford needs to give money back.
Truck speed went down when driving, try to seed up on the gas pedal for a few seconds didnt wana move forward. This has happend three time already, my son has a code reader thing that when he plugged it to my truck this code came up p0720. Had to park my truck at home for my worry and safety. My son took it to the ford dealership and got it a diagnostic test done. On way over there he said the truck drove fine. The dealership test said it was lead frame connector. They have to change that and drain the oil of transmission and refill it again. Its almost a month my truck has been park here at home.
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving approximately 40-60 mph, the floor of the vehicle and the steering wheel vibrated. The failure occurred while the vehicle was in motion and idling. The failure began the day after the vehicle was newly purchased. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the drive shaft was vibrating. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle's suspension needed to be broken in at a minimum of 500 to 1,000 miles. The vehicle was not diagnosed with a failure nor repaired. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not experiencing any failures. The approximate failure mileage was 55. Updated 07/12/16*ljthe consumer stated ford was buying the vehicle back, because they were unable to fix the problem, despite replacing several components. Updated 07/19/16.
Vehicle idles rough and stalls after driving for about 30 minutes or so. Rpms drop to below 500, vehicle shakes and sputters, and sometimes dies. I have had the vehicle die multiple times before turning at a stop light/sign.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While the vehicle was parked and unoccupied with the engine running, the vehicle accelerated independently without warning. While the gear shifter was still in the park position, the vehicle crashed into the contact's boat. There were no injuries. The contact stated that the gear shifter failed to move out of park. The contact powered off the engine. The vehicle was restarted and it operated normally. There was no warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 18,000.
Vehicle stall out while driving and wont start for a few minutes due do throttle body ford fails to recall..... More people are complaining same thing happens to them on carcomplains.com..... First time it happen i took it to dealer they start they couldn't figure out problem and change throttle body for me. Couple week pass same thing starts happening againcurrently at the dealer.....
Intermittent failure of reverse gear to engage. On multiple occasions the reverse gear fails to engage after multiple attempts to shift into and out of gear. This appears to be an electronic control issue with the transmission shifting control as it eventually resolves itself after numerous attempts. The problem is bothinconvenience and safety as backing up is often necessary to execute a normal turn around. An accident resulting in two insurance claims resulted from this defect; i was attempting to backup in my home driveway and there was delay in the reverse gear engagement; not fully comprehending what was going on, i pressed on the gas to proceed while reverse was not engaging. Then the truck suddenly engaged in reverse and i lurched backward hitting another vehicle before i could apply the brake. Total damages for both vehicles exceeded $15,000.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While stationary, the following error messages displayed on the instrument panel: "service advance track" and "hillside assist unavailable". The dealer replaced the sensor in the accelerator, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 6,500.
Bought the truck a year and a half ago the engine has blown and now the brake master cylinder is went out probably be the brake booster next they should be reliable for this i'm 100 miles over my warranty and they were still on fix it
While operating my 2016 ford f150 lariat fx4 in 4a mode, i hear a audibly low noise emanating from the front end of the vehicle as i accelerate.this noise is accompanied by a slight vibration that is felt transmitting through the accelerator pedal.the noise and vibration is only detected while accelerating and only while engaged in 4a mode.there is no detectable noise or vibration in 2h, 4h, or 4l modes.this condition is present under normal operating conditions and during ideal weather conditions.driving on flat, straight highways and roads, nor turning or towing does not affect the noise or vibration that i am detecting from the front end of the vehicle.
Transmission will suddenly downshift into first gear or will downshift out of overdrive at freeway speeds. Transmission will sometimes not downshift to first gear at a complete stop, and will not operate properly until engine is shut off and restarted. Problem is similar to previous 6r80 transmission recall. Problem has been reoccurring since 4/23/21
While driving on a highway, vehicle's low engine oil pressure illuminated, vehicle's speed dropped to coasting level and had to pull to side of highway with no ability to accelerate.this is an extremely dangerous situation where there is loss of power and the engine would not restart.oil level was checked and was near the high mark.the vehicle has 316 miles on it and had to be towed.
We just took my 2016 f150 ecoboost to west texas over thanksgiving. Towed under 7500 lbs. Towed completely normal the whole time (15 hours) until the return trip home. About 2.5 hours into my return trip (i was towing without my husband and with two young kids on a back highway with no cell service and absolutely no stops for 2 of those hours😯) i pulled over to see where my next gas station was and my truck died. It would restart but would die again. I finally figure i'm screwed, i'll try and just hit the gas and go. So i took off and blew through a stop sign and didn't stop until i reached a gas station, where it died when i stopped.. It was saturday afternoon and all the repair shops were closed and there weren't any parts stores open. I finally unplugged the camper, thinking it was draining my battery and started it up and gassed it to get it going and didn't stop until i reached sonora and camped for the night, about 20 miles away. And then my truck was totally fine after that. I never hooked the camper back up and i had filled up the gas tank and put fuel injection cleaner into the tank and didn't have any more stalls. The only light that came on when it stalled was the battery light.
The vehicle hesitates, idles roughly when cold and makes a knocking type noise at idle when hot. The coolant level has gone down substantially despite having it serviced recently. We have experienced large amounts of water dripping from the tail pipe along with the occasional puff of thick smoke. The vehicle misfires and it has been verified by a scan tool (my own and fords). Ford's technicians have verified the concern but have told us that without a hard fault, they are not able to look into the problem further. This issue has been brought to their attention several times with no resolution. While it may be related or unrelated, the transmission also jerks when slowing down and has a tendency to lurch forward when going from 3-2-1 gears. This has also been verified by ford and they have made two attempts using tsb 16-0015 to resolve without any improvement.
61,881 miles, numerous advancetrac, hill descent, etc. Warning and check engine lights.stall suddenly in middle lane of traffic at speed of 40 mph.almost caused rear end collision.loss of all power, barely able to drift to shoulder.serious safety issue!research has revealed this is pattern problem in this model and previous versions.
My truck will show a wrench light on the dash and downshift from 6th gear to 1st gear while driving causing the tires to lock up(70mph on the highway). This is a huge safety issues as i almost wrecked when it has done this. The 2011 to 2013 f-150s had a recall for this same issue but there is no recall for the 2016's. Truck shows code p0715.
Attempting to accelerate, no power. Vehiclewas on 2 lane highway with concrete barriers on both sides and no shoulder. I was going approx 70 mph. I had our toddler, new born and wife in then vehicle. Vehicle slowed faster than i have ever felt before. Cars and trailers slamming on brakes. I'm assuming this did not trigger my brake lights and it was almost dark. So incredibly dangerous not to mention scary. Dash warnings indicated no traction control, hill decent or abs. Dealer is replacing the throttle body. This was a catastrophic and dangerous flaw.
The transmission will not shift and will start to bog the vehicle down when going up a grade, stop and go traffic or pulling a light load.steadily increasing the accelerator does not help the truck maintain or increase speed, only totally floor-boarding the accelerator allows the truck to speed up.the ford dealer has checked the vehicle at least 3 times and said the computer could not find any thing wrong.the problem started with less than 6,000 miles on the truck and is not an issue unless in the previously mentioned situations.the problem has not happened when test driving at the dealership.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. When the vehicle was shifted in the park position, the vehicle rolled backwards without warning. The contact took the vehicle to fenton ford (9515 ny-13, camden, ny 13316, 315-245-0320), but the technician was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa. The failure was not diagnosed. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.
Vehicle entered "limp mode" at speed on interstate, loss of power. This occurred at 5k miles and after being repaired, occurred at 12k miles. Both time diagnosed by ford dealer as a faulty throttle body actuator.
Vehicle suddenly lost power while driving both from a stop and at highway speeds. I shut off vehicle and restarted it which seemed to temporarily solve the problem only to have it reoccur days later. Engine code registered on the dash display. Code was retrieved (p2112) which correlates to a faulty throttle body. Ford has acknowledged this problem with an extended warranty replacement, but my local dealership will not replace the throttle body, so i was forced to replace it myself and pay for the faulty part. My vehicle had less than 36,000 miles at the time of this incident. When the vehicle loses power in traffic, it is definitely a life, health, safety issue. There are numerous examples that can be found on the internet of this defective part/throttle body on various ford vehicles. I feel that ford should initiate a recall for obvious safety reasons. Ford has put out various tsb's regarding this documented problem.
The truck has had issues with the hillassist failure, then check engine light then wrench light causing the truck to go from 45 mph to 2mph without notice. The throttle bottle also went out on this truck causing the truck to go from 45 mph to 2 mph in traffic, this is the ford wrench light. On two seperate occasions, when starting the truck and releasing the parking brake, a parking brake malfunction light flashes, then when trying to move the truck into gear it will move from park to drive to reverse, but will not move. Please contact me asap. I have a detailed list of dates and occurances along with all email conversations with ford. Ford soes not believe this is a problem and seems to ignore the safety concerns.
Lost power, vehicle stalled out in middle of road at low speed.got 'wrench' icon.initially did not start up again until after a few minutes.was able to start again and get home.used code reader, got p706 and p707 codes.cleared codes, no issues for a couple days then it happened again, downshifts hard at low speed, then from a stop at red light i have no first gear.then it disappears and is smooth again.then it all happens again the next day but is overall unpredictable and unsafe.
My f150 randomly just downshifted when turning and almost all power. Then shifted back into gear. I read some post about this happening with other people also. This is the first time this has ever happened.
The wrench light first came on around 42,000 miles, but would shut off when the vehicle would be turned off. It came on a second and third time around the 50,000 and 51,750 miles. Sometimes it would come back on when driving again and sometimes not. Then the engine light came on at about 52,000 miles. When this came on, it would stay on. The truck would seem to lose a lot of power and the rpm's would begin revving higher while driving. This would be driving on all road conditions, highway or city, up and down hills. We had the truck in to check and the code it provided was 'dtc s-p0741 torque convertor clutch solenoid circuit performance stuck off. Will have to replace tcc and if condition still exists, replace the main valve body.' the first ford dealer (while on vacation) made the repair, but this did not repair the truck. (the wrench light came back on again 131 miles after the repair and the engine light came back on again 40 miles later of the wrench light warning.) took the truck back to the ford dealer we purchased the truck at and they are still trying to determine the cause to the issue. The first time the wrench light came on, was under normal driving conditions and not towing a camper. All the remaining times the wrench and engine light came on was while towing a camper.(not sure if this is possible cause of the issue or not, but feel it is worth noting.) according to the owner's manual, the auto start/stop feature is to automatically disable when a camper is hooked up to the truck. But this never seemed to automatically disable when we were hooked up to the truck.another issue is when starting the truck up from a cold start it would make a rattling noise. This only happens from cold starts. If the truck had been runner awhile, shut off and then restarted, it did not make the noise. Ford is still trying to determine what could be causing this.
Leaking brake booster line at 50,000 + miles i have to pay for out of pocket. Also throttle body replacement. Vehicle would lose power then throw a code p2112. Both bad safety issues.
At 15000 miles the front differential bearings began to fail and contaminated the entire front differential. The differential had to be completely replaced. This could have failed on the road leaving me stranded. This was while driving on normal city streets and the highway.
These messages appeared on the information screen "hill start assist - not available" and "service advance trac".the engine started running rough, engine rpm and speed dropped and pressing on the accelerator pedal did mothing.i was going about 30 mph on a city street.i was able to get to the side of the road and shut off the engine.i then restarted it and the problem disappeared.it happened about four times in the last two weeks. This is a safety issue that has not been addressed by ford.the dealer replaced the throttle body and motor assembly for a total cost of $681.55.

The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While the vehicle was stationary and while driving various speeds, the seat belts failed to retract properly. The contact stated that the front passenger seat belt seized while driving various speeds. The contact stated that there was a significant increase in the severity of tightness around the body, specifically the necks of the passengers. In addition, the contact stated that the front driver's seat belt experienced the same degree of severity on more than one occasion. Furthermore, the contact stated that the failure was intermittent and caused more than one occupant to experience the feeling of being choked by the rear seat belt retracting mechanism. Vaughn ford lincoln oakdale (835 us-165, oakdale, louisiana 71463, (318) 335-0710) was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.

This vehicle belongs to osceola county, fl (company vehicle). The car was in motion at a speed of 25mph in a city street (st. Cloud,fl). I was driving the car.a front collision accident occurred.the driver side air bag deployed.the seat belt retracted in a hard manner.due to this accident my left shoulder/shoulder blade & collar bone were injured.i had surgery and i am still dealing with treatment due to the pain & unable to use my shoulder as before.the hsmv crash report# 87065712
The passenger side seat belt will not retract on it's on.the passenger has to put the seat belt on and then manually push the seat belt in and then lean forward for it to lock in place.the vehicle was stationary
On 3/12/19, this vehicle was in motion on a federal highway with a driver, and (1) passenger in the front seat.earlier in the day, said vehicle was in the dealership for a recall fix.the recall was to fix the driver and passenger door locking mechanisms from opening prematurely.while in motion on the highway after leaving the dealership the passenger side door came open and would not latch any further.during the initial repair process there were customer service issues with dealership staff; after speaking with the dealership again following the incident their response was, "that's what you get."due to incidents at the dealership it is believed the repair was not completed correctly on purpose risking lives of those in the vehicle.
Vehicle was parked on a level surface. Upon entering the vehicle i could not pull out the shoulder belt. It was not fully retracted, hanging down 3-4 inches. I could not pull it out after multiple attempts. I drive home for 5 hours and tried multiple times to pull out the seat belt with no success. The next day i tried again multiple times with no success. After driving the truck and reentering i tried the seat belt and it pull out allowing me to engage the sealtbelt it was fully retracting and pulling out. The truck is ten months old with 13,000 miles. I do remember that when i initially purchased the truck the seat belt would completely retract while i was wearing it causing discomfort as i was unable to pull it out.. I would have to unbuckle the belt, let it retract in and then pull it back out.since it is now working ford is unable to do anything but replace the seat belt if it occurs again.

The driver door came open and wouldn't close. I had to hold the door closed while i drove home almost 40 miles away!!! it was very difficult to hold because it kept wanting to fly open. This first happened when i got in my truck to leave my farm, but i had no option other than to drive home trying to hold the door shut.

The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving 30 mph, the driver's seat back was not secure and moved around. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to huntington beach ford (18255 beach blvd, huntington beach, ca 92648, (888) 516-4195) where it was diagnosed that the driver's seat back needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vin was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was 44,000.
While parked, during automatic start, with vehicle warming up a smell of burning plastic was encountered when entering the vehicle. Investigation revealed the connector melting on the right seat temperature control module gu5t-14b663-aa located under the seat on the front passenger side.
While stationary (would also happen while in motion) in a parking lot with the engine running and driver and passenger seat heaters activated (driver on medium, passenger on high), a random clicking sound (believed to be the relay for the heated seats) was observed coming from under the passenger seat. It was then noticed that the heated seats were no longer functioning/providing heat, even though the lights on the controls were staying illuminated. A short while later, a burning (electrical) smell was observed in the cab, coming from the passenger side of the vehicle. Once the smell started getting stronger, the heated seats were turned off and the smell seemed to go away within 5-10 minutes. Upon arriving home, i inspected the seat heater control module (original ford part number gu5t-14b663-aa) that is located under the front passenger seat. Upon inspection of this module, it was found that the bk-bu wire on the 12-pin c3265a connector had started to melt. Upon doing some investigation of this issue online, it was found that this is a widespread issue among many newer ford vehicles that uses the same seat heater control module, and many other experienced this issue. This poses a major safety issue as it is a fire hazzard.
Front seat backs get extremely hot after running the cooling feature for an extended amount of time.it appears to be a result of poor exhaust plumbing from the heat exchange system.when the system creates cool air for the seat it also creates a stream of heated air, this heated air is dumped into the rear of the seat back and accumulates getting hotter and hotter.this results in poor efficiency of the system.the driver's back starts to be heated rather than cooled which may be a safety hazard if it results in the driver's lack of concentration.the system may overheat if left on too long (i never left it on long enough to test).also, if long items are kept in the pocket along the back of the seat, they may get hot enough to cause injury to someone who touches them.
Rear seat frame, driver's side,where the strut attaches to frame broke off.feel seat is now unstable.have photos.

Missing/loose bolts under driver seat makes the seat wobbly/ also loose bolts on the reclining back makes it shift/reclines further back.
Had a fire start in the rear seat area while the truck was warming up in the remote start mode .the remote start was factory installed by ford . The truck was declared a total loss
I have a 2016 f150 lariat. While stationary and in motion my rear blindspot spot moduale keeps showing on my dash covering my sperdometer. When this happens i lose my heat, airbags, gps, front power windows, power mirrors and power seats. I've been checking online of this problem and sounds quite common. This was happening about 3 times a day for about 2 weeks and now it stays to where its constant. Seeing this is on going with these vehicles i think the dealerships should be reliable to fix this expensive ongoing problem. The ford dealership in utica, ny wants 1500.00 dollars to fix this problem.
Seat headrest protrudes too much out of the seat and it pushes forward head of some drivers. The only adjustments available (slide up and down, tilt top forward) do nothing to alleviate the issue. The lack of ability to "scoot" the entire headrest backwards causes back and neck pain while driving for as little as 10 minutes. One solution people are resorting to is to re-insert the headrest backwards, but the tilting mechanism prevent the head from being stopped and sent backwards in the event of an accident. Another solution is to recline the seat back so much that your back is no longer supported. Again a safety issue.when hitting small imperfection on the road, even in dry weather, the vehicle feels as if it's about to fishtail. Some people have mention the suspension is too slow to compensate for bumps and thus the tire, for a small amount of time, does lose contact with the road.all of this complaints can be found in the f-105 forums: http://www.f150forum.com/f118/
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle drove over a small bump in the roadway causing the front driver's seat reclining assembly to malfunction and causing the driver to sink into the seat. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer planet ford located at 20403 i-45, spring, tx 77388 and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number 16v475000 (seats). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the same failure listed in the recall.

The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving 40 mph, the low brake fluid level warning light illuminated. The brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard. The contact stated that the vehicle slowly decelerated with the brake pedal depressed. The contact pulled into the residence and the vehicle was parked. The contact drove 10 mph to earnhardt ford (7300 w orchid ln, chandler, az 85226), to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the brake master cylinder needed to be replaced and the brake system needed to be bled. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 57,500.
The brake pedal went all the way to the floor. I was in a parking lot and had to pump the brakes several times to have pressure.there were no warning lights or signals. Drove home carefully and cut off the vehicle. Restarted the truck again and had the same problem. I was gettting ready to go out of town towing a 7000 pound camper. If the brakes had failed while towing the camper it could have been deadly. The truck was towed to the dealership and the master cylinder was replaced. Read on line there had been a recall on the 2013 & 2014 f-150s master cylinder but not on the 2015 & 2016. There needs to be a recall !!!! i owned the truck for approximately 9 months and it had 9700 miles on it when this occurred.
In november 2016 just 8 months after our truck was purchased my husband was trying to stop at a red lightin our neighborhoodand the brakes went all the way to the floor and di'd not stop, the brakes did not work. Luckily there was not an accident or injury this time. We took the vehicle to ford in grapevine and they told us the master cylinder in the. Takes needed to be replaced so they replaced it. 3 months later in march 2017 my husband was in traffic turning at a light to merge onto the highway, traffic came to a stop and he tried to stop and again the brakes went all the way to the ground and they didn'twork nor did they stop the vehicle. This time he rear ended a lady in an suv. He said he had plenty of time to stop and was luckily going at a reduced speed but still was unable to stop or slow before colliding with another vehicle due to brake malfunction. The truck is now at grapevine ford again and we have yet been told what the issue was. Both times these incidents occurred there was no warning, no lights, nothing that we noticed that could indicate an issue. We have had tons of other issues with this truck, drivers side seatbelt broke, air conditioning unit broke, skylink system shorted and brake failure. We have been refused a replacement vehicle by ford and are currently dealing with lawyersbut that could take 3 more months. I am furious that no consideration has been given to me and my family over these issues. Have they fixed our vehicle? sure, but i am terrified to put my babies in this truck ever again no matter fixed or not. The next time we may not be so lucky and i can not take that chance. This is a work and family vehicle and our work/finances have been severely compromised as we pay a lot of money for this truck. I am extremely disappointed with ford and their customer service and their product and hope this may help get our issues resolved.
Sudden brake failure.warning message came on that i was low on brake fluid while driving on a divided highway between towns.after hitting ok, red brake light warning remained on.within a minute i lost most braking ability.i pulled over but saw no leaks under the truck.walked to a napa dealer and bought brake fluid and filled reservoir.got some brake ability back but with in a few minutes, brake pedel went to the floor and very minimal braking ability.still no leak found under the truck.i can not use the truck with limited brakes.ford recall #20s31 should include my 2016 model but for some reason does not- even though model, make, year and symptoms the same as outlined in the recall.i was lucky not to have been invoved in a high speed accident.
When driving the vehicle on freeways with adaptive cruise control enabled, if the vehicle approaches a vehicle in an adjacent lane (typically a larger vehicle like a truck with a trailer, semi, or tanker) the collision aid activates and heavily applies the brakes. If someone is following close behind me, as has happened in at least 4 instances, the individual will need to stop and make an emergency maneuver to avoid colliding. In both cases, the braking only lasted momentarily but was enough to reduce the vehicles speed 20-30 mph during that time. The vehicle has been inspected by ford but they have said that there is nothing that they can do. For the time being, we keep this feature disabled until ford can get this issue resolved. There have been recalls for previous years but ours is not included. Because of this ford has said there's nothing they can do on multiple attempts to get the problem resolved.
Driving in parking lot and it took longer than expected to stop. Then driving on road at 35-40 and went to stop as light turned yellow. Brake pedal went all the way to the floor. Went immediately to local ford dealer (1/4 mile from the incident). Dealer says master brake cylinder failed and it will take 4-5 days for replacement part to come in.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed and the low brake fluid warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the brake pedal was loose. The contact pulled over and check the brake fluid reservoir and became aware that the brake fluid level was low. The contact reached out to autonation ford bradenton (5325 14th street west, bradenton, fl 34207 (941) 275-1267) and inquired what brake fluid was recommended for use in the vehicle. The brake fluid was purchased and the reservoir was topped off. The contact re-entered and restarted the vehicle, depressed the brake pedal and the brake pedal went to the floorboard. The contact re-checked the brake reservoir and became aware that the reservoir was empty. The contact drove the vehicle to the residence and then had the vehicle towed to the same dealer. The contact was informed that the brake fluid leaked from the brake master cylinder into the brake booster. The contact was quoted a cost for the repairs and was also informed that the warranty on the vehicle had expired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The manufacturer offered to assist financially with the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 41,120.
My truck is a 2016 f150 with 4053 miles. The vehicle has a 5.0 v8 and 7 weeks after purchasing the vehicle new, the master cylinder failed. The vehicle was in motion on a city street and the signal light turned red. I depressed the brake pedal and it went all the way to the floor and was not stopping, only slowing. I downshifted the automatic transmission and pumped the brakes before finally stopping. This occurred without warning. I immediately drove to a ford dealer less than 2 miles away and they confirmed it was the master cylinder which of course is not in stock.after doing some research, earlier models have had the same issue. Apparently, ford has not corrected the problem. This is a safety issue that needs immediate attention!
The car was parked in the parking lot. I started to back up and found i had no brakes. The brake pedal went to the floor and i was unable to stop thetruck. The truck then ran into the vehicle in a parking behind the truck. The brakes were checked by lieut. Edwards of the police department and he found it there were no brakes and there was no fluid in the master cylinder. I observed that the brake fluid reservoir for the front brakes was completely empty and the reservoir for the rear brakes had slightly visible fluid in the reservoir. Prior to the event there was no warning indicator on the dashboard or any other warning that the brakes were going to fail. The brake pedal would go completely to the floorboard when pushed. The ford f150 bumper wassignificantly damaged and the parked car was slightly damaged.we are now in the mountains of north georgia and if had we been going down the road to the valley we possibly been seriously injured or worse.i reported a previous event with this truck to you folks last year relating to the computer system that controls just about everything on the truck causing a complete shutdown of the vehicle. At that time i was driving down the mountain road and fortunately i was able to stop the vehicle. The vehicle at that time was towed away for repairs as we did this time after the brake failure.it is my understanding that the break fluid reservoirs have level indicators that should give somewarning. They apparently are inoperable.
You had to press your foot all the way to the floor board to stop the truck.lucky it start happening when my wife and daughter were travelingat low speed, because if they were traveling at a high rate of speed or needed to stop it would have been an accident.ford repair and said the master cylinder needed replaced. The truck is brand new with less than 6k miles on it.
Brakes completely fail, when i pushed the brake pedal down. It went straight to the floor with no resistance. This has happened 4 times. Sometimes pumping the brakes helps. The emergency brake was used to stop the vehicle 2 times. Once a sharp swerve off the road while pumping to stop. The last time i coasted to a stop. There seems to be no matter of speed, type of stop or incline in common. Except the vehicle is in motion and the brakes won't work. I'm waiting for a tow truck right now
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving at any speed, the vehicle made noises from the engine and transmission areas. The contact stated that the vehicle consumed too much fuel and the air conditioning blew hot air. Also, the oil low pressure warning indicator illuminated and flashed off and on. The contact also stated that the brakes squeaked and the front passenger side tire deflated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (koons ford in sterling, va) for diagnostic testing. The dealer found nothing wrong with the vehicle; however, the failures recurred several times. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the same dealer several times and, during one of the visits, the engine was replaced without the contact's consent. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and did not assist. The vehicle was not completely repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 40.
While driving my truck i had total loss of brake function without warning. Further investigation showed the fluid reservoir was empty despite no evidence of leaks. I feel this is inline with the brake booster/master cylinder recalls of 2013-2014 year models. I suspect the brake fluid has been drawn into the vacuum booster. I'm awaiting dealership service at this time. I was on a mountain road and luckily we were on a level spot instead of on a hill.
Complete brake failure occurred without warning except for a period of seconds during which "low brake fluid" warning light appeared. Vehicle was operating normally at all times prior to event. 38,111 miles on vehicle. Approx. 4 mile drive to highway, brakes working normally. While traveling 70mph (the legal limit there), warning light appeared. I immediately tapped brakes and found that pedal went all the way to floor. Managed to get to shoulder without accident. Drove gingerly to service station to examine. No leakage at calipers, on rotors or from any brake lines. Brake fluid reservoir empty. Had been full previously and vehicle well maintained. I filled reservoir with dot appropriate brake fluid, no change in braking ability. With pumping of pedal, no effect. With pedal all the way to floor, vehicle exhibited extremely attenuated braking (took well over 30 feet to slow from 10 mph to zero). Truck to ford service department/bay. They told me that "we see one of these about every week" which i found shocking. They rapidly diagnosed problem as master cylinder failure with bleed of fluid into booster system (which is why no pressure, but no leakage of fluid externally). They replaced the master cylinder and the booster. This is a very dangerous problem. Fortunately, i did not injure or kill anyone when brakes failed at highway speed.
My 2016 f150 3.5l eco boost has the same issue as the recall 20s31. Out of nowhere my brakes went out. Dash said brake fluid low. No signs of leaks even after refilling. It was dumping into the brake booster. Vin does not show up under the affected vehicles though.
Brake failure. Pedal went all the way to floor board with loss of braking power. I was driving at 35 mph on slight grade.i applied brake pressure for 10 seconds down the grade.as i approached a stop sign i applied stopping pressure.the brake pedal went soft and when all the way to the floor.i had to use the emergency brake to keep me from going into the intersection.the brakes then seem to work.i took it to my local ford dealer and they stated there is problem with some vin's but my is not one of them regarding the master cylinder.i was also told more brand new f-150 are having the same issue.my family could have been killed it is sitting at the dealer and they are trying to duplicate the problem..
I was merging onto highway 44 in st. Louis from lindberg blvd.i applied the brakes to allow an 18 wheeler to pass. Suddenly the low brake fluid light came on the dash and the parking brake.i started losing pressure on my brake peddle as it went almost completely to the floor.i was pulling a trailer at the time and used the trailer brakes to come to a stop safely on the side of the road.i looked under the hood and my brake fluid was almost completely empty. When i took the car into dobbs auto they stated that the master brake cylinder leaked into the brake booster causing almost complete loss of braking.thankfully, i had the trailer otherwise this could have caused an accident.i don't have the repair invoice yet, but i will be happy to forward it once i pick up my truck.thanks of
Came to a stop sign and everything worked, at the next stop sign it was as if someone flipped a switch (residential area with many intersections). My brake pedal would sink to the floor and could barely stop the truck. However if slamming the brakes the abs would function and stop the truck as expected. Inspected brake system and fluid level was above minimum in the reservoir and found no external leaking of brake fluid (failure was internal to the master cylinder). Towed back home and isolated master cylinder and found it to be the issue. Replaced master cylinder and brakes function properly again. (when i removed the master the boosted still held vacuum and fluid was not leaking into booster. )
This morning 5/16/2018 at 7:30 am cdt, while taking my 6 year old son to school,my 2016 ford f-150 produced a "brake fluid low" warning light.the braking system was severely compromised and the pedal had to be depressed to the floor to stop the vehicle.i added 54 oz of brake fluid to get it to a dealership and the warning light continued to appear.as i was driving i had to go into manual mode to downshift to slow the car down so i could brake vehicle to a stop.full speed braking was impossible.was able to get to a ford dealer - they determined that the master cylinder was leaking and that the master cylinder andbrake booster have to be replaced.this is consistent with prior model year recalls for this truck and engine type (3.5l v6 ecoboost). Vehicle has 45k miles and out of warranty for this issue, so out of pocket costs are roughly $1100. Service records will become available tomorrow when the work is complete.i can upload them at that time.
I was driving down the interstate at about 70 mph and suddenly had to apply my brakes because a car in front of me stopped suddenly and when i did the brake pedal went straight to the floor board and stopped as if i was barely pushing the brakes. I had to push the emergency brake in to stop the vehicle. I almost had a very serious accident and if i had not swerved off the road i would had hit the car in front of me at close to 60 mph and my vehicle gave no warning lights or other indication that anything was wrong even after i found the issue which is very troubling. I had my vehicle towed to ford and after further investigation it was determined the master cylinder failed which caused the brakes to not work properly. When i asked ford if they replaced it with a new part that was not part of the defective line the technician told me they replaced it with a new master cylinder but it still has potential to fail as it is part of the defective line that is causing these issues and ford does not have any other way of fixing it. I am seriously concerned with mine and my families safety in this vehicle as i have a boat and other things i tow from time to time and my children are in the car with me. I am concerned someone is going to be injured or die because of this issue because i almost had a very bad accident due to this. Please investigate this issue as i have tried to speak with ford to get a new vehicle or swap for something safer but have not been able to get anything accomplished besides getting the run around. I have had my 5.0 liter v8 2016 f-150 for almost 4 months and 7000 miles and bought it brand new with 2 miles on it.
Three issues: 1. Sudden loss of brakes while moving, brake pedal went to the floor and had no brakes.2. Front axle (4x4) tries to engage on its own from time to time while driving.3. Excessive backlash in rear end while driving.
While driving on rural maryland road, complete loss of brakes without warning other than "low brake fluid" warning less than two minutes beforehand.no accident, fortunately.i understand that this is a known issue and that ford has not issued a recall for this extremely dangerous defect.dealer has said that it will rebuild master brake cylinder and brake booster, using manufacturer original equipment but cannot state reason or cause for failure, nor provide any assurance that failure will not recur.please compel a recall, if that is within nhtsa power.
Driving home on the florida turnpike and had to slow down for stopped traffic and my foot went all the way to the floorboard . I put it in neutral and swerved onto the side of the road to avoid hitting traffic at 70 mph . Once i got slowed down my brakes worked again . I proceeded on thinking it was a freak incident but to my surprise it happened twice more on my way home . They would work for 5 or 6 times and then they would fail again . I took it to the nearest dealership and parked it . They called me the next day and told me it was the master cylinder failing and it was a known problem . "a known problem!" why is there not a recall ? i could of killed somebody.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the brakes failed to perform properly. The contact was afraid to drive the vehicle. The dealer was notified and informed the contact that nothing was wrong with the brake system. The failure mileage was not available.
I was traveling pulling a trailer came to a red light and could not stop, brake pedal went to the floor. Turned truck off and restarted pedal went to floor, put in gear and had brakes, very scary, drove it home and parked it. Found out there had been a recall on 2013-14 master cyl, now i am waiting 7 weeks for replacement.
I was driving straight on route 5 in enfield ct, when i needed to apply the brakes there was no reaction from the vehicle. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor, i had to go up over a curb into grass to avoid other vehicles and get the vehicle to slow/stop without any brakes available. I almost crashed into a building.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph the warning messages and alarm activated indicating a failure in the braking system. Approximately 5 minutes later the brake pedal extended to the floor while attempting to stop the vehicle, which caused the braking distance to be extended. The vehicle was towed to fiesta ford located at (78990 varner rd, indio ca.) who diagnosed that the brake master cylinder leaked and the brake booster failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 32,000.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated that the brake warning indicator illuminated "low fluid" and the emergency brake indicator also illuminated when the failure occurred. While operating the vehicle, the contact depressed the brake pedal and it travelled to the floorboard. The dealer (henry curtis ford, 1120 auto center dr, petaluma, ca 94952, (707) 769-2310) indicated that the brake master cylinder and the brake reservoir may need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 26,000.
Car lost all braking within 5 miles of starting truck.there was risk of serious injury/death. No issues were experienced before parking the car the day before.audible alert and panel "brake fluid low light" came only only 2 miles before total brake loss.brake reservoir was empty.refilled reservoir, pumped brakes until "normal" braking was experienced and the refilled brake reservoir.ran the engine and drove 3 miles before all braking was lost again.checked engine compartment and area surrounding brake reservoir and cylinder plus all hydraulic fittings around all four brakes and found all to be bone dry.no evidence of any leak anywhere.mechanic believes the fluid is being consumed by the engine (bakes sense) and plans on examining to determine.
Master cylinder failed @ 67,675 miles.filled brake booster with brake fluid.started vehicle and warning message for low brake fluid appeared on the dash.had exactly 3 more brake applications before brake pedal went to floor - no brakes.
Backing up into a parking spot.hit the brakes and the brakes failed.did not stop the truck.backed into a pole which stopped the truck. Was in a parking lot.backing into a marked spot on the lot. Fortunately there was a pole rather than a car or person there. The pole stopped the vehicle.told my wife about it. She didn't believe me of course -i googled brake failure and then 4 days later i saw the report on the news.
The pickup truck is no older than 3 months and while driving on the expressway i suddenly lost function of my brakes. The brake pedal went all the way down with no brake reaction. The midway ford dealership informed me the master cylinder brake was defective. Thankfully no one was injured, nor any physical damage to property; however the traumatic incident did cause me angina due to my heart condition. I was extremely lucky to have been able to have controlled the health condition with nitroglycerin. All i ask is that ford take this incident seriously to avoid any future accidents which may potential result in a fatality. I no longer have faith in my vehicle and prefer a different car moving forward.
Brakes won't hold fluid or stop
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150.

2016 f-150 xlt 2.7l ecoboost model. 6060 miles only! parked as usual on driveway facing downgrade. I always activate the parking brake due to the incline of the driveway. Started up truck to warm while i loaded infant and gear into cab. Was ready to drive away when i noticed that the parking brake indicator was not lit on the dash. Found it odd but didn't think twice of it. Pushed brakes, disengaged parking brake like usual anyways, and put in drive. Released brakes but truck did not roll forward, even being on downgrade. Double checked i was in drive and revved slightly but no forward movement. Put in neutral and no movement. Pushed brake pedal, put in park, attempted to engage and disengage parking brake, then repeated drive scenario. Nothing worked.parked and turned truck off. Upon restart, warning on dash popped up showing, "park brake malfunction service now."had to attempt 3rd try to disengage parking brake. Finally it disengaged and i dropped off wife and child and went straight to dealership. Warning on dash was still there when i dropped it off. Dealer verified concerns and bce tested found codes c1034:78 c2007:1d and c2008:1d. Pinpoint tests performed. Inspected rear brakes, wiring, connectors - all looked ok. Reset system. Tsb on 2015 models for faulty parking brakes but does not apply to 2016 models yet. Nothing dealer could do since it was not listed under this tsb other than reset computer and hope it doesn't happen again. Seems like same part(s) is being used on 2016 model but tsb doesn't apply to 2016 model. Please look into expanding tsb to cover 2016 models. Faulty electronic parking brake is unacceptable. Not being able to disengage it while parked is one thing, but having it possibly engage while driving can be catastrophic.
Brake pedal went all the way to the floor when depressed. Brakes did not engage. Low brake fluid alarm sounded. Upon slowing to a stop, the brake fluid reservoir was depleted but no fluid was evident on the ground. The brake fluid was replaced to specifications but was depleted again within a short period of time and brakes were not restored. Auto technician discovered master brake cylinder was leaking internally and brake booster was damaged. No previous issues with braking system were ever observed and driving conditions did not put excess wear on braking system. This issue is identical to issues described in ford recall 20s31.
Brake pedal falls on heave braking. Also falls when holding foot on the brake pedal for short stops.
There was a recall for the master brake cylinder and i brought the truck in to have the recall work done in october of 2020. The brake fluid low light is coming back on.
Hi, i have a 2016 ford f150 with the 3.5 ecoboost motor. The truck has roughly 80k miles on it currently. I replaced the front brake rotors and pads on the truck a few weeks ago. After the repair i had full brake ability and no issues what so ever. This weekend i was driving the truck when i received an audible alarm and on the heads up screen by the speedometer that said the brake fluid was low. I also had the red "brake" indicator on the dash. When this occurred i did loose what i would say was 80% of my braking ability. Luckily i was only a few blocks from home so i was able to get home. When home i took all 4 wheels off my truck looking for leaks and everything was dry. The brake fluid reservoir was in fact low so i put 12 oz. Of fluid back in it and went to drive around the block to see if things were better. I made it about 3 blocks before i received again that brake fluid low warning again and then lost braking ability. I then called my wife and took the truck to a local brake shop about a mile away. After some research over night i ran across 20v-332 and wondered if my truck was part of this recall. I called ford this morning and the confirmed it is. They have ordered a master brake cylinder and i am now waiting for they to correct the issue. I will be without me truck at a minimum of a week because of this issue.
While driving, i experienced a sudden loss of braking ability in a ford f-150 2016 3.5l v6 ecoboost with 10,600 miles on the engine. Pedal, when pressed all the way to the floor, provided some ability to slow down in great length, but no ability to complete stop in a timely manner.
10/14/2016- on 2 occasions applied brakes to slow down and stop. The brake pedal went straight to the floor.1st time was to slow down to turn corner, brake pedal went straight to floor. Had to make wide turn to slow down. Was lucky no vehicles in either lane. 2nd time was coming to red light intersection, applied brakes and again straight to the floor. Had to pump brake to take hold. Vehicle had to be flatbed towed 1.5 hours to home. After installed gps system was verified working correctly. This is company vehicle, so again had to be towed to ford garage. They just performed a multi point inspection, checked all hoses, no leaks. Advised ford garage of your report on loss of braking ability, their response "yes we know but what are we suppose to do, just start removing parts"? dangerous to not know when this could happen again. Have ford garage receipt if needed.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving 20 mph, the brakes failed. The contact had to engage the parking brake in order to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was diagnosed as having a master cylinder failure. The vehicle was taken to be repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 1,900.
Being the driver of a2016 f-150 crew cab 4x4 with 3.5 eco boost motor.i have been now been involved in two brake failure related collisions. One on june 20, 2017 and the other this year on july 3rd.the first brake related collision was on june 20th, 2017. I was stopped at a traffic light behind some other cars waiting on light to change. Next thing i know i feel a slight bump hitting the car in front of me so i go to hit the brake again and inadvertently hit the accelerator ending up pushing the car in front of me into the car in front of it. Which caused a 3 vehicle accident that day.now this july 3rd i was involved in a much serious accident due to brake failure. I was driving in far left lane approaching a traffic light that was red and cars in front of me stopped ahead.i went to hit my brakes to stop and the truck kept on get going in a forward motion without any indication the brakes were working. I tried to direct truck to the left side median to avoid a collision and while in forward motion i made impact with the car in middle pushing it into the first car up front that was involved in my second accident.my truck's middle and right front made contact with car in front of me hard enough to puncture gas tank on the left side of that car with my front mounted trailer hitch and push it into the 1st car's rear end. My drivers side steering wheel air bag deployed hitting me in the stomach area and seat belt faster on drivers side bruised my right hip, and neck ended up with some muscle strain as well. The driver of the most forward car went to the hospital with unknown injuries while i was tending to the local authorities investigation and my truck. The driver in middle car, the car i struck i know that their car was totaled with severe damage to both front and rear damage. Weather clear and roads dry. There was no trace of skid marks on the road.
Attempting to stop and when pushing on brake pedal vechile slowed and as more pressure was applied the pedal went to the floor with no futher braking action.pumped pedal and down shifted transmission to stop truck. Started braking at 65mph.limped truck home with soft brake pedal and returned truck to dealer who replaced master cylinder.
The brakes on my 2016 f150 are super sensitive and tend to lock up at low speed. No matter how easy you apply them they tend to cause you to jerk forward upon applying them.
My 2016 ford f150 limited is 2 years old. The brakes started not working well and then the brake fluid light came on. I took it to the dealership and they told me the master brake cylinder was leaking and had to be replaced. I had to pay for this even though there is a recall for this same issue on other model year f150s.
Total brake failure at 3,100 miles. Vehicle would not stop. Had to pump brakes as fast as possible to try to get truck to stop. Brake pedal wen to the floor with no response. When stopped, had to put truck in neutral to keep it from moving.
2016 ford f150 xlt w/3.5 eb approx. 6,700 miles.this all started about a week ago.when pressing on the brake pedal, it gets hard initially, then slowing goes to the floor.on two separate occasions when pressing the brake pedal it went straight to the floor and then had to be pumped to stop the truck.i have checked the brake fluid level on several occasions and it has never been low.i can replicate the pedal going to floor in all situations, in park, while driving, every time the pedal is pressed it acts the same.firm pedal at first, then slowly to the floor.on occasion, once the pedal gets to the floor it has to be pumped to keep enough pressure on the rotors to prevent the truck from rolling forward.
The truck just turned 10,000 and now the brake pedal has gone very soft and it requires pushing the pedal to the floor to get the brakes to activate. Gentle driving, regular service, not a fluid issue. This truck has the 2.7 ecoboost engine.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving approximately 10 mph and depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The contact stated that the low brake fluid warning light was displayed. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with nhtsa campaign number: 20v332000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the vin was not included. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and confirmed that the vin was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 73,000.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. When the brake pedal was depressed at 35 mph, the pedal traveled to the floor without warning. The vehicle eventually stopped independently. The contact mentioned that the failure occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was determined that the vehicle was operating as designed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 2,500.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contacts stated that the vehicle was involved in a front end collision because the brakes failed when the brake pedal was depressed. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. There were two injuries that required medical attention. The occupants of the other vehicle experienced some neck discomfort. A police report was not filed. The failure mileage was approximately 1,200.
100% brake failure at highway speed. Ford recalled previous model years for the same issue but failed to inform owners of later years that had the same parts installed. My truck was serviced at the ford dealer i bought it from 100 miles before failure. Ford should be urged to recall and reimburse.
My 2016 ford f150 had total brake failure with out warning, this almost resulted in a major vehicle acident. The occured on a busy street with out warning the truck lost all braking and ability to stop.
2016 f-150 platinum with 20k miles just had "low brake fluid" notice come on as i started pulling out of parking lot that was downhill and realized i had no brakes when the pedal went to the floor.i quickly used emergency brake to stop the truck and pull back into parking space.pulled up the hood to find the reservoir was low.pulled up good ol google and what do you know... Its a common problem with the master cylinder.glad i wasn't driving with my kids towing the boat going downhill. Off for repair.
Truck has 13800 miles on it. While driving i applied the brakes and the pedal sunk to the firewall. Completed loss of braking. Released the pedal and brakes worked. Againissue was able to be demonstrated to dealer and was intermittent. While sitting stationary if brakes were applied with pressure the brake pedal would travel to floor.
Vehicle operating normally until problem noted 7/13/2016. Vehicle purchased used from certified ford dealership on 5/16/2018. Currently has approximately 44,800 miles on odometer. Vehicle has been parked overnight and upon am startup and backing up suffered complete loss of braking ability when brakes were applied. Low brake reservoir indicator light on. Visual check revealed reservoir level well below minimum mark and level with inlets for the brake lines. Refilled, pumped brakes and able to obtain moderately firm pedal. Started vehicle, let idle few moments, tested brake pedal but found soft pedal again sinks immediately to floor and reservoir light on again. Visual check shows fluid again has emptied as described above. Vehicle had not been moved. A visual trace of all brake lines shows no external leakage along length of the lines nor at any brake component. Fluid is obviously being drawn into the vacuum boost reservoir. Vehicle has not been altered in any way from date of purchase. This is an extreme safety issue with a high probability of loss or life and/or severe injury to passengers and/or collision with other vehicles or objects due to this sudden, total brake failure. This is a catastrophic failure of the master cylinder system that produces a failure of the redundant braking arrangement (i.e. Separate front and rear brake systems). This appears from a quick google search of other complaints to becoming a known problem. Prompt action is urged by nhtsa to initiate a recall to correct these problem for obvious safety reasons.
I got up started mt truck drove to work as normal. Got into my truck after work started it and the brake light was on and the truck was digging multiple times. The brake pedal when pressed went all the way to the floor. I got out popped the hood and looked theres fluid in the brake reservoir. I looked on the ground and on the motor for leakage and theres nothing anywhere.
Complete brake failure.parked truck and brakes worked normally.15 minutes later started engine and brake pedal went to the floor.brake fluid reservoir was empty.no leakage at wheel cylinders or master cylinder. 36,000 miles. No prior warning of low fluid until the failure happened.towed to local ford dealer.
I was driving home from work and vehicle was functioning normally. Unexpectedly the "low brake fluid" warning appeared. Approximately 1 to 2 minutes later i stepped on the brake and it went to the floor. The first time i pressed it slowed the vehicle slightly. I ipressed on the brake again and it did not register. It was terrifying and i felt fortunate to be able to make it to the side of the road without collision. This happened on a major city street moving about 40 mph.
I was parked at a retail store when the check brake fluid light cmae on. I check the fluid and it was almost empty. The brake pedal was going all the way to the floor.i purchase fluid and replaced it and drove home about two miles away.by the time i got home the light came on agin and the pedal was going to the floor with very little brakes.i called my mechanic (who works for ford) and he said to check because he thought there might be a recall on the brakes.there is not one but there are a large number of complaints on the issue.it is so bad the master cylinder is on back order with no timeframe given on when it will come in.i also cannot get an after market part from someone else due to backorders.it is obvious there is a mass problem that ford is ignoring a safety issue.
Complete brake failure.pedal goes to the floor.
Truck had 36335 miles on it and we had complete brake failure. Just arrived in panama city fla and coming out of grocery store lost all brakes while in motion on city street
Loss of braking power while attempting to stop. Pedal goes all the way to floor.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving approximately 55 mph, the brake warning message suddenly displayed and the vehicle failed to stop when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact indicated that the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when depressed. The emergency brake had to be applied to stop the vehicle. It was discovered that brake fluid was present and had been sucked into the brake booster. The cause of the failure was not determined. Joe cooper ford (4921 n. Automall dr, shawnee, ok) was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 90,000.
Just over 21000 miles on my 2016 f150. While pulling into a parking spot right after getting my truck washed, the engine revved and i had no brakes. Pushed brakes all the way to the floor again and again to no avail. Truck jumped the curb and smashed into the wall.crash warning lights/ alarm did not go on and the airbag did not deploy, though the airbag light came on.truck filled with smoke...but cleared out relatively quickly.brakes seemed fine after that....in the shop now...see what ford has to say.
My brakes went out while i was driving it and i almost crashed into other cars because of it.. There is a recall for this issue 20s31 already. According to the ford website, the problem is with the brake master cylinder and brake booster,this repair will be completed free of charge for material and labor.the dealership , pinnacle ford , is trying to charge me 1200.00 for the repair because it has not been determined what is covered in the recall. I have been trying to reach somebody at ford to handle the situation for 3 days. I finally reached somebody on the phone and they said i needed to call back because the system was down. Nobody seems to want to be responsible for this problem.
Brake pedal went all the way to the floor barely working with no warning on a busy street at a stoplight.went to dealership and they verified problem and replaced the master cylinder. Truck only had 16,000 miles
While applying brakes the pedal travels excessively until it contacts the floor board.as a result, brake application is lost.contacted ford roadside assistance and had vehicle towed to the dealer and was told the master cylinder is defective.this vehicle is a 2016 fordf150 with a 5.0liter engine and equipped with four wheel drive.vehicle has only 14,045 miles. This is one of nine vehicles of exact make and model we employ in our fleet and one of two with this problem.
Brake pedal went to floor with very little braking power. When trying to stop.at stop light pedal would go to floor.i think rear brakes working but frontsnot.recall on 2013's 14's and 15's i think.same problem with 16's.ford says national back order on master cylinders, 4 weeks
Sudden loss of braking power, brake pedal is soft and goes to the floor with little to no stopping power when vehicle is in motion or stationary.
I have owned my 2016 ford f-150 super crew lariat for almost 3 years. I purchased it brand new from a dealer in palm beach county florida. I am on top of my routine maintenance and have just had my truck serviced 3 weeks ago. On 7/20/19 my truck's brakes completely failed while driving from my house on a residential road. I had to use my emergency brake to stop my vehicle from going through a stop sign. Thankfully, i was not involved in an accident. My master cylinder had lost all its fluid but there were no signs of leaks. I added brake fluid and i could see it leaving the reservoir. It appears to be leaking into the brake booster. I had to have my truck towed to the dealership and i'm waiting to hear back from the service department.
I agreed to purchase this f150 on 1/27/2016 but requested that the mushy brakes be repaired first (pedal goes to floor). Went back to dealer 1/27 to complete paperwork and pick up repaired truck. Was told that the truck was checked by the service dept. And that brakes were normal. I completed the paperwork but left the truck there to be checked by the service dept. Again the next morning. I got a phone call the next morning saying the brakes had been fixed and the truck was ready for pickup. When i arrived at the dealership i went to the truck and pressed the brake pedal and it went to the floor. I was told that it had been checked by four service techs and all agreed that the brakes were fine. They also gave me a service report saying the brake operation was normal. I took the truck home that afternoon since it didn't appear that this service dept was not qualified . On 1/31 i took the truck to a different dealer. They said the master cylinder was by-passing and ordered a new one. It came in the next day and i took the truck in for repair. After the truck was "repaired" i got in the truck to head back home. The brake pedal went to the floor. I went back in and reported that it was the same as before. After discussions, the service dept got a new truck off of the sales lot and showed me that this break pedal also went to the floor, so this pedal operation was normal. I took my truck and returned home. Now i have a very expensive truck that i am afraid to drive. After an internet search for mushy brakes i find that there are many other owners with the same problem.i called myford and told there were no other reports on this.they suggested taking the truck to another dealership.this third dealer said they would have to keep the truck for 5 days before they could even look at it. I did not leave it.myford then suggested a 4th dealer.haven't been there yet.
While driving an alarm starting beeping and "low brake fluid" flashed on the dashboard.when i went to stop in a parking lot, the brakes went all the way to the floor and the truck rolled to a stop.we immediately put brake fluid into the reservoir and it disappeared.no puddles under truck or liquid on the tires.
Sudden complete loss of brakes, on city street while going approx 30mph
Master cylinder and brake booster went out
This is a 2016 ecoboost 3.5 f150 built in kansas city plant.the brake booster leaked and i lost brakes. This is a current recall but my vin is not included.how can my truck, the same model and powertrain as those recalled, in the same time period, built in the same plant, with the exact same issue not be part of the recall?i nearly crashed... The mechanic at the ford dealer knew exactly what it was - how - well clearly its a bigger issue than what has bene recalled!!!!
I was driving north on harlem approaching the cross street forest view which has an active green light so as i'm traveling at 30 mph which is the speed limit the vehicle in front of me slams on the brakes i am approximately 100 feet away when i slam on my brakes my truck is in 4x4 due to the light rain and when i slam on the brakes the vehicle does not stop at consequently i slam into the gmc in front of me and file an insurance claim.
I am on the parkway low fluid brakes light comes on, i click ok it goes off the brake light is on . 1/4 mile i get off at the next exit and have no brakes all the way to the floor. I push the parking/ emergence brake . I slow down to the light. Turn on the street go to 1 mile away using the emergency brake. Check fluid it is low? purchase fluid fill snd pump brakes get pedal. Drive about 1 mile brake light comes onno brakes pull over fluid is gone again no leaks wheelsanywhere, going into motor i guess and burning out the exaust. Smoking. For dealer has here in savannah. I have read complaints about this same issue. Not much warning 20 seconds to the ramp then no brakes? any information would be appreciated.
Total loss of brake pedal, first learned of the problem making a hard right/left turn and hit brakes. Went to the floor.driving on interstate tap the brakes and they seem to be ok, then goes to floor.very unsafe yet no recall. This truck has only 4300 miles.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While operating the vehicle, an audible alarm was suddenly activated and a message reading "low brake fluid" displayed. Moments later, while attempting to stop the vehicle, the brake pedal extended to the floor and the vehicle would not immediately stop. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (chestatee ford located in dahlonega, georgia). The mechanic diagnosed that the master cylinder and cv boot were both faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 45,000.
Brake fade at speeds 60mph or more with continuous use. 2.7 l extended cab sport.
I have had no problems but ask to change de brake master cylinder...but inhave had no leaks and nothing shows up in the dash. At the dealer they said they just carry the brake master cylinder. They dont have the brake booster. Am i safe? why asked to change a part when they dont have the othwr parte just in case?
August 2016 16400 miles brake pedal dropped to floor with very limited braking, had to use emergency brake to stop vehicle. Brought to ford dealership, master cylinder was replaced, all was good until may 2017 when pedal again dropped unexpectedly. Brought to ford dealer, they had the truck for 5 weeks and i was told there was a computer error but they could not replicate the problem and i was given the truck back. June 7th 2017 pedal is slowly dropping to the floor, brought it back to ford, i was told that it is normal for the pedal to go all the way to the floor. He vehicle is unsafe to drive.
We have had the same issue on more than one occasion with the f150 brakes. Specifically, when the brakes are applied, the pedal goes all the way to the floor of the vehicle with no discernible reduction in the speed of the vehicle. In other words, the brakes do not stop the truck. It has happened on several occasions to 3 different drivers of the vehicle.it happens while driving - but not all of the time. On average it happens about 10 times per day when braking. It has happened every day since the truck was purchased, it happens anywhere form 20 mph city driving to 70 mph highway driving.
While driving the vehicle at road speed (~45mph) the brake pedal when applied provided little to no braking. The pedal had no resistance and went all the way to the floor board. This occurred on multiple occasions. The worst of which was while i was attempting to stop at an intersection. This intersection was located in a 40 mph zone on a somewhat busy street. While attempting to stop the vehicle the brake pedal went to the floor and provided no stopping resistance. The vehicle rolled into intersection which caused me to have to take evasive action including pumping the brakes and veering off to the side of the road. I don't remember if there was another vehicle in the intersection. After this occurance i drove the vehicle to the dealer. The dealer was able to identify a problem with the master cylinder within 24hrs and then spend the next 17 days trying to obtain the part from the manufacture. Since the master cylinder was replaced i have had no additional occurrences of this type
I am emailing you to both alert you of a situation and ask that you reach out to my father regarding what happened to him this morning.he owns a 2016 or 2017f-150 with the 3.5 eco-boost.this morning as he was driving between 50 ' 60 mph south on hwy 111 in coming into livingston tn. He let of the gas preparing to veer right on the 111 bypass, his brake warning light came on and when he attempted to apply the brakes his foot went to the floor and the was absolutely zero there for him to stop the truck.luckily this happened about 6 am and there was no one on the road and it was in a place that he had room and time to shift down and decrease his speed and pull over.one mile further and this could have had a very different ending.he was on his way to pick up a boat.. So this was three hours later this could have had an extremely different ending. Did i mention he 81 years old. There was little to no warning, the light came on just as he was getting ready to make his turn.this could have turned out very bad.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving down a hill, the brake pedal went to the floorboard, failed to stop the vehicle and the contact crashed into a guard rail. The vehicle was towed to the contacts residence and a dealer was notified (diffee ford lincoln, 1681 east interstate 40, el reno, ok 73036, and phone number: (405) 262-4546). A police report was filed. The driver sustained minor bruising and no medical treatment. The manufacturer was contacted to determine why the brakes failed to function. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa action number: rq16001 (service brakes, service brakes, hydraulic). The contact was waiting on a response from the manufacturer. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was not available.
Brake master cylinder spontaneously developed a leak causing significantly reduced braking while the vehicle was in motion. The pedal became very soft and went almost to the floorboard. This is the very problem described in recall 20v-332, but my manufacturing date is 9 days past the cut-off window of august 1, 2016. There are probably more trucks out there like mine waiting to fail.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While the vehicle was being serviced by antelope valley ford (located at 1155 auto mall dr, lancaster, ca 93534, (888) 415-0959), the contact was informed that the brake booster, brake cylinder, and bushings needed to be replaced. The failure of the brake components rendered the brakes inoperable. In addition, the brake pedal extended to the floorboard. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,178.
The breaks do not work when stopping in short distances. The break pedal can be pushed all the way to the floor and the truck does not stop.
Driving at 35 mph my truck gives me a brake fluid low error message. I keep driving on to the highway. As i exit the highway i press the brakes and nothing happens. The brakes aren't engaging. I coast to a stop since there's no traffic and pull over. Towed truck to ford dealership and they tell me master cylinder and brake booster have malfunctioned. Cost of repairs are $2100.
I was driving and about half way to work i received a low brake fluid warning and then tried to brake and instantly had no braking power. How to slow down and attempt to pump the brakes to come to a stop. Lucky i was on a fairly open stretch of highway without much traffic or stops.
Brakes went out while driving, seems to be part of an issue ford is aware of.
Driving down 7hwy in leavenworth county kansas. Pushed brake pedal down and low brake fluid light came on and brake pedal went to the floor. Stopped a friends house and got brake fluid and it all got sucked into the brake booster. Took it to the local ford dealer and had the master cylinder and brake booster replaced.
I experienced 100% brake failure on my 2016 ford f150 3.5l v6. I started my vehicle apprx 530am on 4/30/18 to drive to work. Upon starting the vehicle a "low brake fluid level" message appeared. I was not immediately sure what to think. I placed the truck in drive and as i rolled down my sloped driveway and pressed on the brake pedal - the brakes went to the floor without any stopping capability. I coasted to a stop without incident. I checked the brake fluid level and it was very low, well below the minimum mark on the reservoir.i had the truck towed to the ford dealer. Upon research it sounds like this same model truck has been reported to have brake fluid draining to the master cylinder. I do not know for certain what my issue is. I should find out tomorrow when the ford mechanics can look over the truck.
While driving to work a red brake warning light came on the display and i tried the brakes. The brake pedal went to the floor and i had no brakes. I pulled over in a safe spot checked the brake reservoir and it was completely empty. I started the vehicle and smoke started pouring out of the exhaust. Had it towed to a ford/lincoln dealer and they said the master cylinder and brake booster needs to be replaced $890.00. There is no ford recall for 2016 f150s which is unbelievable since this is a serious safety issue. Did some research and there are multiple lawsuits for the same issue on 2013-2018 ford f150s. I called ford had a hard time understanding the rep and she created a case number. Called them the next day after speaking with ford dealer and there was no case to be found. The second ford rep made a case # cas22180343, was very helpful and the rep said ford will make it right. This remains to be seen. Meanwhile i'm without a vehicle. I had a 2005 toyota tacoma and never had any type of issues. Hopefully this helps and gets ford to recall 2016 f150s so no one gets hurt. Also had to replace all brakes, rotors and pads for $924.72 on a 50k mile vehicle is very questionable. Thank you
I experienced complete brake failure in my truck.the failure occured while the truck was stationary.i drove at low speeds in a residential area the night prior and did not notice any diminished braking function.the next morning, i started the truck and observed the brake fluid warning light and no resistance in the brake pedal.upon further inspection, there were no visible leaks from any of the brake lines but the brake fluid resevoir was empty. The diagnosis was a failure of the master brake cylinder, via leaking all brake fluid into the brake booster.this failure is consistent with the 20s31 recall, but my vin was not reported as being effeted by this recall.i am concerned that there may be more vehicles out there that are effected by this faulty part. My vehicle was repaired by a ford dealer, and we opened a incident report with ford but they declined any responsiblity for this failure.
My brake warning light came on when i depressed the brake peddle, after exiting a busy street onto a commercial driveway. The peddle bottomed-out and i had very little braking power. I was traveling at very low speed and i was able to stop by engaging the park brake. The master cylinder/reservoir was near depleted.i was unable to find evidence of brake fluid leak under the hood or under the vehicle. I refilled the master cylinder and operated the vehicle at the "off-street" lot where the malfunction occurred. After several applications of the brakes, the master cylinder was low again. I refilled it and drove home (near by). Again, i had to engage the park brake in order to come to a stop in my driveway. The master cylinder was near empty and again i was unable to find a leak.the vehicle has been towed to the dealership (https://www.southwayford.com/). I'm awaiting diagnostic result. Until now, i was unaware of the issues (2013 f 150 & 2014 f 150 recall; current investigations for years 2015 - 2018) surrounding this problem.meanwhile, i have to pay for related expenses (towing, diagnostics, parts and repair).
Leaking brake booster line at 50,000 + miles i have to pay for out of pocket. Also throttle body replacement. Vehicle would lose power then throw a code p2112. Both bad safety issues.
On 9/6/2020, while driving approx 60mph on hwy 128 between jal and carlsbad nm, the brake pedal on my 2016 ford f150 lariat went to the floor and i had no brakes. A message on my dash came up saying to add brake fluid and i did. I took my truck to the nearest dealership, carslbad ford lincoln. The master cylinder and booster had a recall and was replaced, but the brake fluid that leaked into the engine was never addressed by the service and repair center. As a result, i now have over $6,000 worth of collateral damage to my engine that the dealership is refusing to fix because i'm being blamed for the damages for adding brake fluid to the resevoir. It's beyond obvious that the only way any brake fluid leaked into the engine was due to the damaged manufacturer part(s), the master cylinder and the booster, that were not only damaged but in recall status - recall# 20s31. The gm and service manager of the carslbad ford lincoln dealership have the power, the support and backing of a behemoth. They have the full support of the great american auto giant ford motor company and i have 100% nothing and nobody! there has to be some law or some thing to protect your everyday innocent tax paying american citizen from being taken advantage of by people who work for these powerful entites and/or companies. I'm writing this complaint on 9/27 and they've had my truck since 9/12; just over two weeks. I'm issuing this complaint because i literally cannot pay for the $6,212 worth of repairs that ford motor co is accountable and responsible for. Also, with (2) blown turbo chargers, tube asy, converter asy, sensors etc which all need to be replaced; my truck is not safe for me to drive and other citizens communting with or without their families on american highways shouldn't be subjected to this unsafe vehicle being on the road.
I was driving down the highway when my brake system alert started going off and brake alerts on dash, a minute later i went to brake and had no brakes, i was able to get off the highway and to a parking lot. I opened up the hood and there was no brake fluid, i bought more fluid and attempted to drive 3 more blocks and all the alerts went off again and no brakes, i got pulled over, checked the fluid and it was gone. There was no signs of leaks and all the fluid went into the booster and engine, causing a thick cloud of smoke i called a tow truck and it was taken to a ford dealer. They said it was not covered because i was just over the warranty period. It is costing me over $800. I am very lucky it wasn'ta bad accident. This needs to be addressed. All the fluid went into the booster and into the engine. The ford dealer will have all the information and are repairing it now. I could add it later if needed.
Backing out of garage and brakes suddenly went out, pedal to floor. Warning lights of low brake fluid. No leak anywhere around vehicle. Master cylinder fail. Truck only has 38000 miles.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving in the express lane, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when it was depressed. The brakes failed and the emergency brake was applied. The vehicle was pulled over to the service lane and the contact shifted into first gear. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the master cylinder and power boost were defective. A remedy was not provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 7,300.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving 30 mph, the low brake fluid warning indicator illuminated and the brake pedal was depressed to the floorboard, but failed to adequately slow down the vehicle. The parking brake was activated and the vehicle slowed to a stop. A towing service was contacted; however, the vehicle was still waiting to be towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact stated that brake fluid was added to the brake reservoir; however, after several seconds, the brake reservoir was empty again. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 23,000.
Pulling to intersection on two occasions brake peddle goes to floor. Lift peddle after putting car in park and brakes recovered. Vehicle was purchased new in june and has 7000 miles. Dealer said customer concern could not be duplicated.
2.5 month old truck with approximately 7k miles driven. I was rolling down a hill about 10mph and tried to stop to talk with a neighbor. The pedal travel didn't feel normal and i rolled about 5 feet past my neighbor. After coming to a stop the pedal slowly sunk to the floor. I shifted to park then released and reapplied the pedal. There was initial resistance at roughly the normal pedal height, and again the pedal slowly sank to the floor. When i shifted back to drive and tested the brakes i experienced a slightly diminished "initial grab" when applying the brakes which then would decrease even further while the pedal sank to the floor. When the pedal was completely depressed i had very very little braking ability.ford has had the truck for over 3 weeks and states that they believe the master cylinder to be faulty and the lead time on a replacement is quite long. (3 weeks they hope).i have spoken with ford customer service and opened a case. The told me they would seek to prioritize the part for me. I have not heard from them (were supposed to call last thursday)dealer has no updates for me either. In view of the recall for previous year f150 trucks for brake related issues that are identical to what i have experienced, i am not comfortable towing with this truck...assuming it is actually fixed any time soon.
My 20 year old daughter was driving through a parking lot and without any prior problems or indication of a brake issue the brake pedal went to the the floor board and the truck barely came to a stop before hitting other vehicles in the parking lot, at this time a warning chime and warning message displaying low brake fluid appeared on the instrument cluster.she happened to be in the ford dealership parking lot picking the truck up from multiple recalls being preform (non brake related). She pulled back in the service lane and asked for assistance, the service writer went and got the technician to inspected it in the service lane, he checked the brake fluid reservoir and it was completelyempty causing the truck to loose all brakes. They ended up keeping the vehicle over night and inspected it the next day.. The technician added more brake fluid to the brake reservoir and tested the trucks brakes and the brake master cylinder immediately lost the brake fluid into the brake booster.the technician diagnosed the failure as the brake master cylinder leaking fluid into the brake booster. Now both the brake master cylinder and brake booster need to be replaced at a cost of $1,031.from what i have researched this is a widely know problem with 2013 to 2018 ford f150s equipped with the 3.5 liter engine like we have. My daughter was extremely fortunate she was driving at slow speeds through a parking lot, if this would of happened traveling a higher rate of speed it could of ended up causing serious injury or death! this matter needs to be addressed in a swift way to prevent anymore drivers being at risk, not only to the occupants of the defective vehicle but those that could be hit by the out of control ford f-150!
Brakes went to the floor all of a sudden. I got a brake fluid low warning on the dashboard. Truck is regularly serviced but after doing a little research i found that there were a lot of people experiencing what i have going on. I do not feel safe driving my kids in my truck rendering it useless. Truck was stationary at the time of incident.
Bought the truck a year and a half ago the engine has blown and now the brake master cylinder is went out probably be the brake booster next they should be reliable for this i'm 100 miles over my warranty and they were still on fix it
The contact rented a 2016 ford f-150. While driving approximately 60 mph, the brake pedal traveled to the floor. The vehicle failed to come to a complete stop and crashed into a guardrail. None of the air bags deployed. The driver sustained back, neck, and shoulder pains. The front passenger sustained back and shoulder pains. The rear passenger on the driver side sustained anklebackand neck pains. The rear passenger on the passenger side sustained back and shoulder pains. A police report was filed. Medical attention was required for all the occupants in the vehicle. The insurance company towed the vehicle to a collision center to repair the damages, but the vehicle had not yet been diagnosed by the dealer. The manufacturer was not notified. The vin and failure mileage were not available.updated 02/03/17*ljconsumer stated vehicle was rental by enterprise. Updated 9/7/18
The morning of 5 october 2016 i noticed my brake pedal was seemingly sinking to the floor while braking. It seemed like i was loosing some brake power while descending my neighborhood street at 15 mph. In the evening i was returning home from work, traveling 55 mph, i began to slow down for an upcoming red light and while attempting to stop at the intersection the brake pedal depressed to the floor and the truck failed to stop at the light. I rolled all the way into the intersection, but fortunately did not get hit by oncoming traffic. I took the vehicle in for service at a ford dealership service department this morning. This vehicle was bought brand new in may 2016 and only has 6,000 miles on it. When i pick up the vehicle i will have supporting documentation for the required services.
Coming up to a stop light on a secondary road, the brake pedal went to the floor, barely stopping.i had to swerve onto the shoulder to avoid hitting a vehicle stopped in front of me.pumping the pedal brought up some pressure, but then the pedal would slowly go to the floor.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The vehicle was taken to mike bass ford (440-934-3673, located at 5050 detroit rd, sheffield, oh 44035) for brake repairs. The contact stated that the rotors and brake pads needed to be replaced, but were not properly repaired. The contact did not provide specifics about the failure he experienced. The dealer stated that nothing elsecould be done. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact back to the same dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000.
Low brake fluid level.little to no stopping abilities.
While applying brakes the pedal travels excessively until it contacts the floor board.as a result, brake application is lost.contacted ford roadside assistance and had vehicle towed to the dealer and was told the master cylinder is defective.this vehicle is a 2016 fordf150 with a 5.0liter engine and equipped with four wheel drive.vehicle has only 15,472 miles. This is one of nine vehicles of exact make and model we employ in our fleet and one of two with this problem.
Light came on brake fluid low then immediately no brakes going down the road.bad master cyclinder.
Complete brake failure with limiter warning. Driving and brake fluid level light came on. Stopped at a gas station refilled brake fluid. Lost brake pressure after driving less than a mile from gas station. Refilled brake fluid. Next morning starting seeing white smoke in exhaust. All of the brake fluid drained out of brake fluid out and leaking from master cylinder
My 2016 f150 has adaptive cruise control ("acc") that applies brakes in the event a vehicle is detected in lane ahead in order to match speed and maintain safe distance. F150 also has collision avoidance system that increases sensitivity of brakes if imminent collision is detected.2015 ford f150 has been subject to a recall (nhtsa campaign number: 15v614000) to fix problems with acc - the acc may falsely detect an obstacle in its path and may unexpectedly apply the brakes increasing the risk of a rear-end collision from a following vehicle.my 2016 f150 was built after the date covered by the recall however it exhibits the exact problem described in the recall i.e. The problem continues to exist with ford's acc system and the recall was insufficient.in my case, on four separate occasions from 3/19 through 3/26/2016 the acc system activated unexpectedly and for no reason, causing heavy braking and in one case almost causing collision with a following vehicle. The collision warning lights also lit up - this system may itself have increased severity of braking. Braking events occurred with two different drivers, on straight freeway, no steering input, no bridges, or safety barriers to confuse the acc radar. In all cases we were driving in left lane of a two lane freeway, approaching to pass a large vehicle travelling in right lane - a semi-truck in two cases, empty car transporter in other two. The vehicle being passed was well in its lane and not drifting over or presenting any danger to our vehicle.ford's response has been that this is "normal" and was due to our driving on a curve, or other vehicle drifting over or some road "furniture" like a bridge / barrier confusing the system.however, none of these factors applied.
Upon pulling out of parking space, low brake fluid light came on and brake pedal lost all pressure. Went back into store to purchase more brake fluid. Refilled and low fluid light came back on before leaving parking lot. Drove to another lot and refilled reservoir as it was empty again. No signs of external leaks. Upon viewing other identical complaints, i believe it is leaking into brake booster, which has not yet been recalled for this model year. F150 only has 61,000 miles.
I was sitting still as i waited in a drive through line with my truck in drive and my foot on the brake, when suddenly the brake pedal pushed all the way to the floor.scary.i tried to pump the brake - the pedal pumped all the way to the floor several times before it caught and began behaving as expected.the was no sound or alarm from the console during all of this.the dealership replaced the master cylinder as a warranty repair.they had no comment about whether this was a recall.i asked if the part number was different on the replaced part and they told me it was.replacement part was gl3z-2140-a cylinder asy along with pm-20 fluid - brake.
Low brake fluid light came on. Was able to get to parking lot. When i went to drive the truck a few hours later it had absolutely no brakes!!!had i driven any further i would have surely crashed and died since i was on a highway.no fluid was leaking. Had to tow to dealership.need to recall the 2016's too.
Driving at 65mph, all of a sudden said brake fluid out, emergency brake was not on, said it was, pulled to side of highway, tested emergency brake, not engaged, had to push brake pedal all the way to floorboard, coasted to dealer nearby.dealer has said, complete failure of master cylinder and brake line leak
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving 70 mph, the brakes failed, but were able to function slightly. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and drove with partial braking ability. The contact drove to the dealer (sanderson ford, 6400 n 51st ave, glendale, az 85301) where it was not diagnosed; however, the dealer roughly informed the contact that the master cylinder of the brakes needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. A case number was not provided. The approximate failure mileage was 47,000. The vin was not available.
My 2016 ford f150 3.5l ecoboost didn't have its vin tagged for the leaking brake master cylinder recall. Reference 20s31. My truck was built at the dearborn plant and matches every single parameter for the recall. I was driving my truck down a colorado highway at a high elevation. My brakes started softening and felt almost no pressure in the pedal. My brake fluid low warning came on my dashboard along with the brake light indicator. I was able to get to a store to purchase brake fluid. Within 5 miles of driving after filling up the tank the warnings went off again my brakes weakened. It was very terrifying with having my partner and two dogs in the car with me. I spoke to a ford dealership and they said they won't cover these repairs. This is after i mentioned my life being in danger just trying to get to work. I had the truck inspected by a credible mechanic which told me that the issue matches the recall details perfectly. I believe now, the brake fluid has leaked from the master cylinder into the brake booster and is now leaking into the engine. An enormous amount of thick exhaust was being expelled from the truck on the second day of noticing brake failure. I believe ford should be responsible for any danger or harm that comes to me since they have turned me away just because of my vin not matching.
While traveling to work on us-19, traffic came to a sudden stop. As i pushed on the brake pedal it went all the way to the floor and would not stop. I veered left into the emergency lane and passed 2 vehicles before the truck came to a stop with the assistance of the emergency brake. I see that this has been a recall for earlier ford f150 2014 & 2015 but not the 2016 which has more complaints than the prior years.
As a ford owner why was i not notified of possible brake issues with my f150?i was driving home from the airport on sunday morning on the freeway when a light came on about brake fluid.i tested my brakes. They worked.i continued cautiously to my exit.for whatever reason (grace of god) i took my foot off the gas when i got off on theoff the exit.as i neared the stop light and applied the brake, i found i didnt have any!!!!the e brake barely stopped me.had i not decelerated when i did i would not have been able to stop!i could've been killed!!!when i called ford they never mentioned any issues!!! i pull a travel trailer and had a trip planned this upcoming week.had this happened then the outcome could've been horrific!how can i trust that once the vehicle is fixed it is safe?im afraid to take my grand kids in my car! how can i trust ford when they weren't up front about the situation to begin with.do we wait for fatalities before we do something?what's my recourse?i have always been a strong ford supporter (my mom retired from ford) but am extremely disappointed by ford and by any and all agencies that govern notifications of such issues.i should not have to be web surfing to find out that there are issues.i have a brand new rig for a reason and am paying for it with the expectation that i can feel safe in my rig!
Brake failure going down a hill, brake pedal went to the floor. Pumped the brakes however it did not help. No warning about a brake problem before it happened.truck rolled to a stop at the bottom of the hill on flat terrain. I was fortunate no other vehicles or pedistrains were on the hill at this time. Vehicle is at ford dealer trying to determine cause of brake failure. Date of failure 7/28/2020.
I experienced an electrical failure that was intermittent at first but became worst over time.with this failure i would lose steering and vehicle advance track as well as abs brake function.when electrical power was lost the electrical power steering would stop functioning causing complete lose of steering.this caused me to cross into oncoming traffic, luckily there was no one in the oncoming lane.the dealer found a wire going to the alternator that had worn through causing an over voltage condition.this caused many of the systems, including steering, to shut down.in my research this is not the only occurrence of this issue.my vehicle has 42,000 miles on it.i would guess this will become a much more common issue with time.
After 71k miles, the brake master cylinder needs replaced due to brake fluid internal leaking to the brake boosters. Lost all control of braking power. $1100 repair to replace master cylinder and brake boosters. This happened on 7/6/2019 while driving home. The low brake fluid light came on while driving and noticed substantial loss in braking power and had to push brake pedal all the way down to slow the truck to a stop at stop sign.
Adaptive cruise control braking issue.my new 2016 ford f150 platinum edition pick up truck will automatically brake hard when passing some large trucks while operating in adaptive cruise control.the lane ahead of me was clear with no vehicles in sight in my lane each time this happened.the large trucks i passed were on my right and not in my lane or even close to the lane markers.the large trucks did not have anything hanging over into my lane.these dangerous braking events happened while i was driving on very good dry highways and freeways in arizona.i have no stickers or after market items on my new f150 truck.this hard automatic braking happened to me on four different occasions during the month of march.in each of the four braking events i was traveling between 65 and 75 mph on straight high quality roads in arizona. I was almost rear-ended the last time it happened so i'm no longer using cruise control.as of today 4/8 my truck is at the morgan hill ford store in morgan hill calif for inspection of this dangerous problem.
Ford has a known issue with the master brake cylinder failing in these trucks. Mine has clearly failed due to this issue, and my entire family was nearly killed on the interstate as a result. I took the truck to the dealership and they agree that this is the same master brake cylinder issue that ford has acknowledged as a known issue. But magically my truck is not included as part of the recall even though its a 2016 ford f-150 3.5 ecoboost built in kansas city. All theparameters for the recall seem to match my vehicle precisely but yet somehow itmagically is not included in the recall. Ford refuses to take accountability for this major safety issue and now i am out $500 out of my own pocket because ford refuses to step up and take care of this known safety hazard for me. Ford should be ashamed of themselves and with how many new complaints i see filed here weekly for this same issue the nhtsa should also step up and force ford to expand the recall because clearly not all affected vehicles have been recalled at this point. I cannot say it enough, this is a major safety concern. Me and my entire family were nearly killed as a result of this issue. It is appalling to me that ford and the nhsta have not done more to rectify this very dangerous and deadly problem. Next steps i see in the near future is a class action lawsuit against ford for ignoring this well known issue. This should have never happened and ford should take accountability for this problem but they are refusing because it isn't part of the "recall". Shame on you ford!
On 05/11/19 while driving i experienced nearly complete brake failure. I took the truck to my local mechanic who diagnosed the failure due to the master cylinder rupturing. Sequentially the leaking brake fluid drained into the brake booster which also had to be replaced. As this happened while i was driving it was quite miraculous no one was injured.
Driving in residential type area, down hill. Break warning came on (40mph). Tried to stop but pedal went to floor. I said to my family to hold on we have no breaks and we're approaching a stoped car making a left. As they were screaming in fear i stepped on the emergency break and down shifted to first. We are lucky i knew what to do. Another family may not be so lucky. The ford dealer said the master cylinder is leaking through. 2016 ford f-150 3.5 ecoboost
Brand new king ranch ford f-150 brakes recurrently fail.no accident but they currently have greatly reduced stopping power, super dangerous.ford reports long back order 3+weeks on master cylinder, makes me wonder if there is larger issue.
Brakes suddenly and without warning became nearly unusable, brake pedal soft and to the floor and extremely long stopping distance. This was followed by a brake warning light and a "brake fluid low" warning on the instrument panel display. Dealer reports a master brake cylinder failure and leak of brake fluid requiring master cylinder and booster replacement
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving 40 mph, the brake pedal traveled to the floor when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact released the brake pedal; however, the brake pedal traveled to the floor again. The contact pulled off the road in order to decelerate and then applied the emergency brake. The vehicle was towed to fairway ford of evans (4333 washington road, evans, ga 30809; 706-854-9200) where it was diagnosed that the brake master cylinder failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the contact had to depress the brake pedal to the floorboard to completely stop the vehicle, regardless of speed. The contact informed the same dealer of the failure and was advised to contact the manufacturer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened case number: cas/13380795; however, the matter was still being resolved. The approximate failure mileage was 9,800.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving approximately 20 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and failed to respond without warning. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the master cylinder and the power booster needed to be replaced. The contact stated that only the master cylinder was replaced. The failure occurred after the repair was performed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 34,096.
My brakes failed, could barely stop truck at streetintersection.. Was able to make it to dealership. Brakes were non responsive and then back to semi responsive.
I was told by the sales person, (xxxxx), that the truck is under a bumper to bumper warranty, and a ford company warranty that includes even the light bulb. After just few days of driving, i noticed some vibration of the truck, bad oil burning in the cabine,griding of the wheels when i have to take sharp corners and many more issues. Called the covington ford dealer about the problems/issues i have with the truck. I was told to take it to a ford dealer to have it inspected. Did that. Called covington ford and they told me to take it over to theyr dealer and they will checked and fix it. Left the truck for over a week with them i called to see what's going on with my truck. I was told they fixed everything.now the vibration is getting worse. Called again covington ford with same problems. I told them i'll go on a hunger strike in front of their dealer and ford company main office. And i will if the problem is not solved. The owner of covington ford contacted me by phone, and left me a mesage that thy will take care of the truck or get me another truck. Drove again to their dealer on a saturday morning. The sales person, (xxxxx) , took a test drive and he said that yes, there are to many problems with the truck, so, i'm gonna get another one. After over 3 hours of back and forth with the owner and general manager, they offer me a older model,2015, and lower xl model. Now i have f150 2016xlt. Did not accepted, so they told me to hit the road. As i said, i'm gonna go on a day hunger strike, call all the media outlets. Even i'll put it on face book. Covington ford should be responsable and inspect the cars before they offer it for sale. I hope that you will help me to solve this problem before i'll go on a hunger strike. All i want from covington ford to stand behind their sales, honor the warranties. Thank you. A very disappointed customer.

Master cylinder leaked brake fluid into the brake booster causing loss of stopping ability. This occured one morning as i arrived at work. The low brake fluid warning came on and i planned to get more fluid during my lunch break. When i attempted to leave in my vehicle for lunch i immediatley notice a total lack of braking ability and narrowly missed backing into a nearby building. I had to have my truck towed to a local shop for repair. The repair included a new master cylinder and booster. I paid $225 for the tow truck and nearly $700 for the repairs. Luckily this did not occur while driving at highway speeds and cause an accident.
Complete brake failure.entered vehicle in morning and pedal went to floor.popped hood and checked fluid (fine).got back in vehicle and attempted to move it a few feet - pumped brakes - no stopping force - after 2 - 3 pumps the brake fluid light came on - stopped engine and rechecked fluid (had dropped about 1 inch - was not below min) - big pool of brake fluid under rh front wheel.had (day before) just completed long trip through mountains (steep canyons) - feel lucky to be alive!
I started my truck in the garage andwent to put it into gear and the brake pedal went to the floor and a flashing brake light came on with a fluid low signal. I checked the fluid it was low. I put more fluid in it and pushed the pedal again gone again. I checked all brake lines under the truck not a leak anywhere. I'm ordering a new booster and master cylinder the fluid went into the booster. I believe this was a recall in the 2013 -14 f150 but ford told me there isn't a recall in 2016??
I had just left my house and reached the main intersection of kellogg (highway 54) and oliver to turn west onto the ramp to get on kellogg where the speed of traffic is 60mph. I approached a red light and attempted to stop north of kellogg on oliver. As i pressed my foot on the break pedal to stop at the light, my foot went all the way down to the floor. I coasted into the intersection and directed the steering wheel to the right towards the on ramp. I was able to slow down enough since i hadn't even reached 35mph and put my hazards lights on and placed my truck in park. I was convinced someone had tampered with my brakes and they were trying to kill me! i frantically called my boyfriend who was able to calm me down enough to call a tow truck. I had only had my brand new truck for less than a month! it is currently at a ford dealership to be repaired and has been there for almost a month. I was told by the ford dealership that the master cylinder was the cause of the problem and that the parts needed for repair are on backorder. I researched and saw that the ford f-150 trucks in 2013 and 2014 had been recalled for faulty master cylinders. I assumed that by now ford would have corrected the issue but clearly they have not.
Brake pedal goes completely to the floor.truck stops slowly.increased pressure on the pedal needed to slow the truck. I passed through an intersection unable to stop in time.was going about 60mph and on a straight ahead path.this problem has happened about10 times randomly.
I recently purchased a new 2016 ford f150 xlt 2.7l ecoboost truck. On december 6, 2016 i was involved in an accident with this vehicle. I feel that this truck did not adequately stop in an emergency situation with ample stopping distance. I have driven trucks of this same size towing a boat and under an emergency situations going downhill and have been able to stop with less distance than i had with this truck towing absolutely nothing. I was not speeding and only traveling between 30 to 35 miles an hour on a four lane highway which is currently under construction, the speed limit for this area is 45 right now because of this construction. I was traveling in the left hand lane planning to make a left hand turn onto a road that was a few miles away at a main intersection. Several vehicles ahead of me some individual decided they were going to just make a left hand turn to get to a street clear on the other side of the highway causing everyone behind them to slam on their brakes, having two to three car lengths in front of me i had slammed on the brakes and the truck was slowing down but not fast enough so then i put my other foot on the brakes and stood on the brakes holding the steering wheel and still the truck was not stopping absolutely no change in the response of it breaking, keep in mind i way around 235 lbs. I just don't understand why my brand new truck without even having its first oil change has failed to stop and every other vehicle on the road with less distance than me was able to stop . I was also pondering if the ecoboost system may have contributed to it somehow with the start and stopping of the motor causing some sort of pressure loss in the system. I no longer trust this vehicle, i have driven ford trucks for over 20 years.
Sudden brake loss with no warning lights happens occasionally when coming to a stop. Vehicle doesn't stop all the way
When trying to stop at a stop sign my brake pedal went all the way to the floor not allowing me to stop in time and causing me to cross a major roadway; luckily there was not much traffic at that moment. I immediately pulled over and shut off my truck. Pumped my brakes and started it back up again. Everything seemed fine so i continued to drive it with no issues. About 10 minutes later as i was approaching a crosswalk by a school, a child stepped out into the crosswalk and once again i applied my brakes only to have the pedal go all the way to the floor. The vehicle does slow down but does not stop where it should. Luckily the child was not struck by my vehicle. I then took the truck to my local ford dealer which is was diagnosed with a bad master cylinder for the brake system. No parts available as of yet and supposedly they are on back order. This issue needs a full recall before someone gets killed.
Brake pedal suddenly went to floor approaching traffic if light! had to make emergency turn into a parking lot to prevent being crashed.dealer determined that my f-150 has a defective master cylinder. However, so far a week later, ford motor motor company will not ship a new replacement! irresponsible! fix it ford -now!
I went to drive into my garage and pushed the brake to stop and the peddle went to the floor. I pushed as hard as i could and it finally stopped just before i hit the back of the garage. It also happened then i was backing out of my garage. Same thing happened when i was on the road in traffic. I was going slow at the time. Sometimes the brake will be very stiff to push also. The peddle will barely depress. Like there is no power brakes. No warning lights come on in any of these situations. There is no warning at all. This needs to be fixed.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving on the interstate, the brake warning indicator illuminated. While depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle failed to stop. The contact had to apply the camper brake to reach the next exit. The contact took the vehicle to murdo ford (219 main st, murdo, sd 57559, (605) 669-2391) where it was diagnosed that the vacuum booster sucked the seal out of the master cylinder and all the fluid went to the booster. The technician added fluid to the brake master cylinder and disconnected the booster. The contact was able to drive the vehicle and later took it to thunder basin ford (1100 w 2nd st, gillette, wy 82716, (307) 682-4735), but was not diagnosed or repaired due to the length of time it would take for the repair. The vehicle was also taken to jackson ford of decatur (455 e pershing rd, decatur, il 62526, (844) 846-7281) where a repair appointment was scheduled. The contact also took the vehicle to rick ridings ford (1817 ridings dr, monticello, il 61856, (217) 762-2521) and was informed that there were no recalls. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 32,000. *as
Rear end collision on i-25 in denver, co 80112 9/28/2016 4 pm, sunny and clear weather, traffic moderately heavy "slow and go" in motion appx 25mph, no injuries
After driving for on for about an hour i pulled off the highway and my brake peddle went very soft.brake fluid low warning and my brake light came on.i go the truck stopped (slowly) and checked fluid - virtually empty.i nursed the truck to a service station filled fluid drove about 7 miles slowly to home and light came on again.pulled in fluid was gone.found that the fluid was leaking into the booster cylinder.have to replace the master and booster cylinder.this appears to be an open investigation and it needs to be elevated before someone is seriously hurt.this could have been an accident easily.
Brake fluid light came on resulting in loss of brakes while driving. After seeing light i went to auto parts store to purchase brake fluid.i filled brake fluid to an almost max level to get home. While driving less than a mile home the light came back on about 1/4 mile and started losing brake function.i arrived home and added more fluid to the vehicle while parked and it immediately began to go down.there were no visible brake fluid leaks anywhere. Under further investigation a recall has been issued to trucks made at the same time with the same issues.my vin number does not have a recall so ford won't doing anything with this obvious manufacturer defect and obvious safety issue.the brake master cylinder leaks fluid in to the brake booster pump causing a loss of braking power. Ford recall code 20s31 and the press release was issued this month.i could have crashed into another vehicle due to this issue.
On 6/2/18, after a night's stay in a walmart parking lot in our 5th wheel, our 2016 ford 150 pickup showed a low brake fluid warning light when i started the truck to leave.i put in dot 4 brake fluid and the light went out so we left.we had traveled only a few miles north on interstate 95 in south caroilina when the brake warning light light came on.when i pushed on the brake pedal, it went down to the floor with no braking.although we were in heavy traffic and going 55-60 mph, i put on my hazard lights and was able to downshift to about 5-10 mph.then with brake pedal down to floor, i was able to slowly stop our pickup and trailing 5th wheel.we were extremely fortunate that the traffic conditions did require emergency braking.we were also fortunate that we were only 10 miles from a ford dealership that determibed that the truck's master brake cylinder and booster were bad and needed to be replaced.our trip was delayed two days due to this issue and cost us over $750 dollars in repairs and lodging.this happened only 98 miles past my warranty period!when doing some research, i see that ford recalled its 2014 and 2015 f150's for the very same problems.it sure seems like some ( if not all) 2016s are having the very same problem.but by the grace of god, we could have been in a serious accident and hurt or killed.i am very nervous now driving this truck and my trust in ford products has been seriously damaged.i urge other 2016 -new 150 owners to be watching the brake fluid levels closely.
3 miles into my trip with several starts and stops. Low break fluid warning light. Pulled over with working breaks but reservoir was almost empty. Loss of breaks after a couple more stops. Topped off break fluid reservoir.ran motor 5 min before low fluid warning light, no sign of external leak. Leaking appears to be from master cylinder to vacuum buster. Pulled vacuum line from vacuum buster eliminated the loss of fluid. And was able to limp home with manual breaks.
Ford dealership will not give me an approximate date when they will receive parts to fix the defective brakes on my 2016, f-150. I plan on taking a cross country trip in late september and do no feel safe drinking my truck.
I was driving down the highway when my brake system alert started going off and brake alerts on dash, a minute later i went to brake and had no brakes, i was able to get off the highway and to a parking lot. I opened up the hood and there was no brake fluid, i bought more fluid and attempted to drive 3 more blocks and all the alerts went off again and no brakes, ipulled over, checked the fluid and it was gone. There was no signs of leaks and all the fluid went into the booster and engine, causing a thick cloud of smoke. I went to .carproblemzoo.com/ford/f-150/2016/brake and found 65 people with the same issue. Are we waiting for someone to get killed. I have not received a recall is there one? i am the only owner and the truck has less than 20,000 miles on it. No accidents
To whom this may concern, on november 18th while driving with my three children, the brakes on my 2016 ford f150 failed. When approaching a stop light, i pushed the brake pedal all the way to the floor without slowing. I veered the truck into the left turn lane in order to avoid rear ending the vehicle in front of me. The truck slowly came to a stop by the time i reached the light. Luckily there were not any vehicles in the left turn lane. On 11/19/16, i took the truck into my local ford dealer and they replaced the master cylinder. After doing some research, i was disappointed to find that multiple owners have already had this same issue. I would expect such a potentially dangerous problem with the truck would illicit a recall. This is the fourth ford f150 vehicle i have owned. This truck was an expensive vehicle and i am disappointed to have had such a serious malfunction after driving it for only 7,300 miles. I am even more disappointed in the company for being aware of an issue and not having taken action. I hope the new part that has been installed has been redesigned and will not fail like the first one did. Even more so, however, i hope that the ford company will take note of this issue, issue a recall, and prevent others from the dangers of nonfunctioning brakes. Sincerely, [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My new f-150 which was purchased with 10 miles on it has been having severe brake issues. When ever the vehicle sits overnight or sits for a few days the brakes seem to immediately fail when they are applied in both forward and reverse. The brake pedal shimmies like crazy and kind of surges when applied. It almost feel like a tire is going to fall off.
On starting stationary vehicle received audible warning of low brake fluid.brake pedal went all the way to the floor.vehicle had been driven normally 2 days prior with no indication.opened hood and observed brake fluid in reservoir below min.added brake fluid to between min and max.restarted vehicle and pressed brake pedal again to floor.observed fluid level lower within reservoir, but no fluid observed coming from vehicle.continued to add fluid, pump pedal and observe fluid draining, but no fluid leak found.total fluid added - 36 oz.vehicle towed to dealer. Service department concurred with self-assessment that master cylinder had failed and draining fluid was collecting in brake booster housing.service department quoting $1000 to repair.vehicle 37 months old, 47000 miles - just out of warranty.had vehicle had been in motion i feel confident collision would have occurred / injuries likely.my gravest concern is that failure of major safety system did not have any precursor nor external symptoms.hard for low age/low mileage vehicle to hold value with this issue.
2016 f150 truck, 24,000 miles.while applying the brakes,the truck will stop but the pedal continues until it hits the floor. The brake pads are good, brake fluid is full. I am taking the vehicle to a dealership on 7-18-18.very unsettling to have a new truck and the brake pedal doesn't work correctly.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While attempting to brake by depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal was stiff and the stopping distance increased. The dealer could not determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 68....updated 12/20/16 updated 6/26/18
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning, completely lost power, and had very limited braking functionality. The contact was able to stop and restart the vehicle. Ford of monroeville, alabama was made aware of the failure and replaced the abs and brake sensors, and reprogrammed the vehicle; however, the failure recurred at least seven times. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and provided case number: cas-12779235. The failure mileage was 8,558.
Drove truck to airport on 6/9, all was well.on 6/14 we returned to our truck.upon backing out of parking space i tried to apply the brakes and had to press the pedal to the floor.heard a warning chime and a dashboard warning appeared stating brake fluid was low.checked brake fluid reservoir which was almost empty.limped to 7/11 while manually downshifting and added two bottles of fluid.brake functionality was restored for about ten minutes and then experienced the same failure and warnings as before while driving 30mph and not applying the brakes too often.this all happened after 11pm and the roads were empty.added more fluid this morning and took it to the dealership where i learned about the recent recall.should have the truck back tomorrow.very fortunate not to have had this problem while driving from ca to va last month.
6,500 miles on new vehicle and brakes completely failed, no accident to report
Complete, sudden, unexpected brake failure. Brake pedal went straight to the floor with no warning. So dangerous.this happened on the interstate at 70 mph towing my travel trailer with my family in the car.
I agreed to purchase this f150 on 1/27/2016 but requested that the mushy brakes be repaired first (pedal goes to floor). Went back to dealer 1/27 to complete paperwork and pick up repaired truck. Was told that the truck was checked by the service dept. And that brakes were normal. I completed the paperwork but left the truck there to be checked by the service dept. Again the next morning. I got a phone call the next morning saying the brakes had been fixed and the truck was ready for pickup. When i arrived at the dealership i went to the truck and pressed the brake pedal and it went to the floor. I was told that it had been checked by four service techs and all agreed that the brakes were fine. They also gave me a service report saying the brake operation was normal. I took the truck home that afternoon since it didn't appear that this service dept was not qualified . On 1/31 i took the truck to a different dealer. They said the master cylinder was by-passing and ordered a new one. It came in the next day and i took the truck in for repair. After the truck was "repaired" i got in the truck to head back home. The brake pedal went to the floor. I went back in and reported that it was the same as before. After discussions, the service dept got a new truck off of the sales lot and showed me that this break pedal also went to the floor, so this pedal operation was normal. I took my truck and returned home. Now i have a very expensive truck that i am afraid to drive.after an internet search for mushy brakes i find that there are many other owners with the same problem.
3 episodes on the same trip--- brakes were very soft and required extra long stopping distance, brake pedal went to the floor. Then driving on rural and suburban roads- tried to brake at a stop light, brake pedal went to the floor- truck did not stop and i went right through the intersection, almost hitting vehicles. Then on rural road tried to stop as i was coming upon a farm vehicle. Brakes did not work and i had to swerve around the vehicle to avoid hitting it. When brakes were pumped the stopping power returned slightly. Was able to get my truck to my work location and then called ford dealership who told me to have the vehicle towed.
My three-month-old 2016 ford f150, has 10,000 miles on it. I bought it brand new, with 9 miles on the odometer. Up until friday, 11-18-16, it had been a pretty good vehicle. On the aforementioned date, when approaching a stoplight, i applied the brakes. Much to my dismay, the pedal went to the floor & the truck did not slow down. Complete brake failure. I took the vehicle to the dealership for diagnosis & repair. They still have it & i'm in a loaner car. I also now see that there are other reports of the same thing happening to other 2015/2016 ford f150 trucks. I would think this type of a failure would be deemed catastophic, as one could imagine what could happen when driving a vehicle at any speed, and no way to stop it.
I was driving on a freeway at 75 mph when the "low brake fluid" light illuminated.i immediately exited and while braking, the brake pedal went nearly all the way to the floor.the brake light also illuminated on the dash.i pulled into an auto parts store and purchased brake fluid. It took approximately 20 ounces to fill the reservoir.after filling, the warning lights went off, but the braking pedal was still not firm.once i got to my destination, i parked the car for 3 hours and when i left, the low brake fluid light and the brake warning light came on again.i put another 12 ounces of brake fluid in the reservoir and immediately drove to the ford dealership service department.at no time did i observe any brake fluid on the ground. Upon inspection, the dealership told me the master cylinder had failed and was leaking brake fluid into the brake booster.this was an extremely dangerous failure as there was no warning prior to the warning lights on the dash and the loss of brakes was immediate. The vehicle has 52,000 miles on it.
My 2 month old ford f-150 lost all brakes while coming back from a trip this past sunday. The truck is at moyer ford in foley al. There telling me that they can not repair it until mid february. I have filed a complaint with ford case # cas10736186. I use my truck for work and can not be without a truck until late february. I am getting no responds on fixing the problem from ford , moyer ford were the truck is or world ford of pensacola were i purchased the vehicle. Very disturbing that ford knew the master brake cylinder was inferior when they built the vehicle. People are going to lose there life and kill others with this problem. This is criminal and ford should be held accountable.
I arrived at a friends house with no issues.shortly after, i went to start my vehicle and when i pressed the brake to hit the start button, the brake peddle went to the floor board as if there was no pressure.at that point brake / fluid light came on.i opened the hood and check the brake master cylinder and it was empty.next day i went to the dealer and they replaced the master cylinder and brake booster.
An unsafe, road hazard, a booby trap f150 truck. This is what i got from a ford dealer in covington. An unsafe truck.whose fault that the truck is on the roads? would like to find out. Ford comp. Or the dealer? we are an older, seniors, minority couple just trying to buy our first f150 truck.on dec. 31st 2018, bought a 2016 f150 fordtruck from this dealer. I was told that this truck is covered by a special ford comp. Take back the truck. I have his message on my voice mail.they will try to fix it full warranty being a buy back truck,including even the light bulbs, on top of the regular warranty. . said that vibration came from the wheels no, called them again, sent them few emails. I told them that i will go on a hunger strike in front of their dealer. Finally, the owner,math, called me to or they will give me another truck. They knew that the truck is not safe to drive on the streets. It's road hazard. And not talking about the smoke inside the cabin. You can die of suffocation. Drove another our or so to their dealer. Had erddyn, the seller guy to drive test the truck. After few minutes of drive, we noticed the vibration. He said is normal. Then it started to vibrate even worst. I asked him about the strong smoke smell. Did not say anything. Got back to the dealer, inspected the truck.the truck was in good shape. After 2 hours of talk with the owner, they offer me get me another truck. Older year model, inferior class. Did not accepted, so, they said hit the road. And left after wasting over 3 hours. So, here i am with a very unsafe truck driving on the roads. Sooner or later an accident is gonna happen, or me dying of suffocation in the cabin. No. I'm gonna protest in front of their dealer , and then i'm gonna do the same in front ford motor company headquarter. Is their fault too. Putting back on the roads a unsafe car? and covington ford to sell it.
When approaching a stop light,my brake pedal just went to the floor. I made it to a parking lot with spongy brakes. Once in a parking space,when pressure was applied to the pedal,the pedal slowly went completely to the floor.
Started truck up on 5/21 in garage and noticed brake light on console came on indicating issue. Brake pedal when depressed went all the way to the floor. Checked fluid level and it was nearly empty. I added a bottle of dot 4 brake fluid and pumped brakes. It seemed to hold for a small amount of time. I checked fluid reservoir again and it was nearly empty again. I visually check under vehicle to see if there was a noticeable leak. None was noticed.
On may 4th my brakes totally failed.luckily i discovered this when i got into my truck to start it up from work.my brake pedal went all the way to the floor.i popped the hood and discovered the brake fluid reservoir empty.i am lucky that i was not driving when i discovered this.my truck has been towed to the local ford dealership and i do not have any documentation at this time.the vehicle was parked.
Brake pedal is dropping to the floor while the engine is on. This has not happened before.i'm afraid the brake will fail at any moment while on the road.
Drove the truck for about 2.5 miles with no issues and parked. As i backed out of parking the truck lost all braking capability. I was able to stop the vehicle using the transmission. The truck alerted me with a brake fluid light and the emergency brake light. No visible leaks under the hood, calipers, frame, engine compartment. Towed to dealer... The truck has 28,100 miles. Platinum 3.5 eco boost!
As i was travelling down the highway at approximately 65 mph,a low brake fluid notification appeared on my display. Additionally i saw the brake warning light illuminated. When i applied the brakes the pedal went all the way to the floor. I stopped and opened the hood to verify the empty brake fluid reservoir .once verified i refilled by purchasing a 32 oz bottle of dot4 brake fluid.once refilled with almost the whole bottle, the brake pressure momentarily returned. However upon returning to the highway, i felt the brake pressure go away again and the low fluid light re-lit within 10 minutes. I then went to the local ford dealership about another 10 miles away.there was very little brake pressure the whole way. I only had about an inch of play and had to apply the brakes several seconds (5-10) earlier than normal.the ford dealership diagnosed the issue and reported the following "tech check on customer concern, brake fluid reservor empty, put vehicle on hoist check for external leaks , no external leaks , remove brake master cylinder and found all brake fluid leak into brake booster, brake master cylinder leaking into brake booster, need to replace brake master cylinder, and brake booster that is contaminated with brake fluid"
I experienced a sudden and complete loss of my brakes while backing out of my garage. When it happened it was instantaneous and i had no braking power at all. The brake light came on immediately and low brake fluid light was also on.the ford dealer confirmed upon repair that the master cylinder dumped most or all of my brake fluid into the brake booster. They repaired the issue, but used the same factory parts my truck was made with. What's to say this won't happen again???
Losing break fluid, no visible areas underneath truck indicating busted line. Attempted to fill line with up to 64oz, fluid kept disappearing. Maintenance has been completed by certified ford dealer for entirety of the trucks life. I have read online similar issues with recalls for same type of vehicle.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. When the brake pedal was applied, there was a total loss of brake power and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The failure occurred intermittently and without warning. The dealer (greenway ford, 9001 e colonial dr, orlando, fl 32817, (407) 544-5252) was contacted, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa action number: rq16001 (service brakes, service brakes, hydraulic). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
While in park with the driver door open, truck off, radio on, confirmed shifter was in park position. I accidentally engaged manual transmission control in front of and gear selector at thumb position of shifter as both are unavoidable. As i was getting out to reach something in the back seat, truck released park and rolled away.in addition, while driving in d (drive) thumb accidentally made contact with (-) control and quickly decelerated to a quick stalled stop, beginning at 50 mph down to a stop in the road in less than one quarter of a mile. M (manual) selector is an option on the panel, however, both these events happened while in p and d, respectively.in park the truck was in a stall and stopped. In d the truck was traveling at 50 mph.this is a software malfunction that is allowing an override of braking while in park and rapid shifting at the touch of one control that sits under the drivers thumb.
While on the freeway, a warning message illuminated on the cluster "brake fluid low".concerned, i checked the braking function a few times slowing from my cruising speed of 78 mph to around 55 mph to test the braking function, and all seemed well.i decided to continue the remaining 15 minutes of my trip since the brakes seemed to be functioning correctly and there was no traffic, as it was 4:30am on a sunday morning, but i proceeded with caution.when exiting the freeway, i decided to brake early in the event there was a problem, but again the braking felt absolutely normal, not even the slightest hint of any brake loss. I then traveled about 11 miles with the cruise control set to 65 mph, there was no need for stopping or slowing at any point during this stretch.nearing my turn, i again decided it would be best to remain cautious and brake early.it was at this point that i could tell something was wrong, as the brake pedal had very little stopping power as i pressed the brake pedal completely to the floor, only slowing from 65 mph to about 25 mph over a distance approaching a quarter mile. After this, the brakes were completely out at this point.i have experience with moving trucks with no brakes, using only the emergency brake, so i felt confident continuing the short distance to my home using slow speeds (>15 mph), manually shifting the transmission for engine braking and using the emergency brake.i was able to get the vehicle home with no incident.inspected brake fluid reservoir, found it was empty but found no sign of a leak.i figured the master cylinder leaked internally, which the dealer confirmed.both parts needed for repair were on a national back-order, unavailable from ford.a little search on google reveals this failure is common on 2013-16 f-150.dealer located parts from other dealers stock, but vehicle was out of service 10 days.
My wife was driving our 2 girls to our nanny's home and the brakes completely failed on her while she was driving. Fortunately she did't get too far. And thank goodness we were not traveling our normal commute which is on a 75 mph highway. I love my truck, but now i feel unsafe driving it. It is sitting now until ford fixes it. The more information i read and collaborate, the more disappointed i am in this vehicle and manufacturer. We already had one safety incident with this truck as the rear driver's side passenger seatbelt was installed backwards! now the brakes failing completely while driving is the last straw. What is shocking to me is that there was a recall for this as far back as 2015 however, some of the faulty parts (master brake cylinder) trickled into production. This recall had to do with the brake master cylinder and if the vehicle was equipped with the faulty part, it could lose all of it's braking capability. Again, i am thanking my lucky stars that all of my girls are ok, but this is unaccep as a vehicle should not lose 100% of braking while in use. What if this happened on the highway we travel every week? have a look at the attached photos. An empty brake fluid reservoir and zero brake fluid--anywhere.
I was driving to work and on my way about 7 miles into my drive, i received a notice on the instrument panel indicating mybrake fluid was low, i click the ok button and continued driving, ummiediately upon coming to the next light to stop my brake pedal went to the floor as i pressed hard to stop, the truck did not stop and i ran the red light but making a turn and nearly hitting oncoming traffic.the truck camed to a rolling stop and i pressed the emergency brake and stoppedon the side of the road.this truck i purchased last year in february of 2018 and has only 32,000 miles but ford said the truck warranty had expired and the cost was $1235.41.i am fighting ford and had opened a case but their investigation determined they are not at fault!i am here to seeif nhtsa can have them recall their brakes.
Driving on a bypass highway, the brakes failed, and i almost rear ended someone. Light came on, added fluid, then again they failed. I have the vehicle at the ford dealership now. I have just over 40k miles on the truck, this repair better be covered by ford.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the brakes failed when the brake pedal was depressed. The dealer diagnosed that the brake master cylinder failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 7,200. Updated 01/10/17*lj
While driving in mansfield, tx on 10/27/ 2019 ( on frontage rd. Near debbie ln) as i was preparing to stop at a traffic light. I pressed the brakes and the petal went to the floor. The truck gradually came to a stop in the middle of the intersection! fortunately, there wasn't a lot of traffic and i was able to back up out of the way of on coming traffic. There were no warning lights, chimes or alerts to signify a problem. It was a frightening experience!! i made it back home safely, but nervously! now i'm very apprehensive about driving the truck!
Brakes did not function properly, checked reservoir empty but no fluid on ground
I drove my truck to my farm without incident. After being parked for a while, my son-in-law got in to drive to a work area and immediately reported the brake pedal went to the floor. We checked the brake fluid level and it was almost empty, even though i had recently had the level checked as "full" at a change of oil and filter. It took two large bottles of brake fluid (at over $8.00 each,just to get it home (about 50 miles). I had to pump the brakes during this trip to get braking action and drive very carefully and slowly.the day before this happenedi had towed a single axle trailer with an agricultural disc on it.had this quick loss of brakes occurred at that time, it likely would have resulted in serious injury, property damage, and even death. The shop where i took it replaced the master cylinder, the power booster, which had filled with fluid, and an o2 sensor, which had been damaged. The total costwas $1194.34. Since all the parts were replaced with new ford brand parts, there is a likelihood that it will happen again. This is a real safety issue and merits a recall, as well as reimbursement to me of my expenses.
I went to the ford dealership & they're the ones who told me about the recall on the vehicle after i had purchased it. They made up excuses as to why they couldn't fix the problem, according to them they didn't have parts to resolve the recall issue & to come back another day. Not to worry that my vehicle is fine. I've noticed my truck is malfunctioning when i try to slow down & starts shaking making it hard to break on time. I now put in the vin number to their website so i can schedule a service & the website tells me there's not a recall on my vehicle. I uploaded a image of what it says so there's evidence of their negligence. Not only did they sell me a truck with mechanical issues guaranteeing me that the truck was in phenomenal conditions but now they're also refusing to fix it.
While driving on city street, dash indicated "low brake fluid"...ok?.traveled another 1/16th mile brake peddle went to the floor, no brakes and all warning indicators came on stating "brakes"with warning symbol.
While driving on suburban highway the low brake fluid warning alerted and the brake warning light illuminated. The brake pedal travel increased and eventually lost almost all braking effect.the vehicle was parked and towed to a repair facility where it was determined that the master cylinder failed and leaked into the booster. A check of the vin indicated that it was not included in the existing recall for this same problem.
The brake pedal is going all the way to the floor with little resistance and no warnings on the dash. It started on 12-14-2016 and has happened many times between the 14th and the 17th. Since then they appear to be working as designed. When they were acting up with the truck in park or moving i could push the peddle all the way to the floor board with little resistance.
Brake pedal goes all the way to floor. Complete loss of brakes.
Complete brake failure. Pedal goes to the floor.
While driving on a us highway at 65 mph, i had a need to suddenly apply the brakes on my 2016 ford f-150 and there was a sudden failure.the brake pedal had to be depressed the entire distance to the floor to finally get the vehicle to decelerate.afterwards a warnings light came on indicating low brake fluid.despite adding fluid to the reservoir the brakes would still not engage.the vehicle had to be brought for service where it was determinedthat there had been a failure in the master brake cylinder.fortunately this did not result in an accident or injury.
I was driving on the freeway, when the low brake fluid light came on. I pulled over to the next exit and went to a gas station and added two bottles of brake fluid to get the level above the minimum line. The pedal pressure was decreasing with each use and i drove the rest of the way to work, about a 1/2 mile. After letting the car sit for 3 hours the fluid was gone and there was no visible sight of fluid on the ground. I added more fluid and did not drive the truck, but 3 hours later the fluid was gone again. I took the truck to the dealer, 1/2 mile away and the brakes were gone at this point. The mechanic diagnosed that the fluid was leaking from the master cylinder to the brake booster according to the service report.the master and booster were replaced and the truck functions properly again. I know this was an issue on the 2013-2014 f150s and there was a recall, but this happened in a 2016 f-150 with 37,000 miles where a failure like this should not have happened. I am reporting this since there could be a similar failure happening on the 2015+ f150s as the previous generation.
Low brake fluid light came on while driving.shortly thereafter (minutes) the brakes got very bad and unsafe.basically the resistance left and the pedal went to the floor.it slowly stopped via brakes but very poorly.you couldn't make a quick stop if needed. Checked fluid it was empty.added fluid.drove to dealership, brakes were slightly better but sure enough 5 minutes into drive the low fluid light came on.i suspect it is emtpy again (i dropped at dealership and told them to check).brakes starting working worse again, just like before (keep in mind they were'nt normal again even with the fluid, just a bit more resistance when i pumped the pedal).after the light came on, all resistances was gone again. Doing some research and talking to the dealership this sounds exactly like nhtsa campaing # 20v-332, however, my vehicle isn't covered because the cutoff for that is currently aug 1 2016, while my truck was apparently built the following month in september.dealer thinks it is the same issue.i called ford and they are taking a wait and see attitude, but it sure seems fishy that the exact recall problem appears to suddenly pop up in a vehicle that fits all the descriptions except a month later...the guy i talked to said they used dealership reports to determine affected dates, so who knows.car is at dealership getting fixed and it needs a new master cylinder.
While driving total loss of brakes, pedal to the floor. No fluid in master cylinder. Master cylinder failed and fluid leaked into booster and burned off in engine
On july 18, 2019 vehicle (2016 ford f150 with 51,721 miles) driven under highway conditions experience a 'low brake fluid' warning followed afterwards with complete loss of brakes when attempting to secure the vehicle to a safe condition.fortunately the driving situation allowed the vehicle to be secured safely.upon inspecting the vehicle there were no indication of brake fluid loss through broken brake lines or system leakage.subsequently transported the vehicle to the vehicle our originating ford dealership, the shop diagnostic result was the 'failure of the master brake cylinder rear cup seal'.additional damage included the booster pump due to brake fluid contamination. Issues:this is the same failure to which ford motor previously recalled 2013 - 2014 f150's.at 51k miles, the failure of a master cylinder is premature.during routine maintenance, inspection of the master cylinder does not readily lead to indication of potential failure or need for replacement.this failure could be catastrophic under the right conditions if proper operator control is not followed - lower speed by reducing gearing and using the emergency brakes.the replacements are oem factory parts; possibly the same manufacture as that replaced which could be potential for future failure (this could not be clarified by the ford shop at the time of the work)!the primary concern of course potential for relapse of the same event.secondarily is the premature expense of master brake cylinder and booster pump replacement.
While driving on the freeway, i applied my brakes and noticed no reaction and my pedal went all the way to the floor to slow the truck. I was really luck there were no cars to my right because i would have rear ended the car in front of me. After all this i got a message for 'low brake fluid'. I passed 6 cars till i came to a stop.
With no prior warning symptoms, i started my truck the morning of may 23, 2020 and saw a brake alert message on the dashboard. Brake pedal went all the way to the floor. I immediately called my local ford dealer and (carefully and slowly) drove the truck the 2 miles to the dealer. They informed me that the brake master cylinder had failed, leaking brake fluid into other parts of the braking system. They did not have replacement parts in stock, so i am now awaiting parts shipment before they can complete repairs. I feel very fortunate this happened now, as my wife and i are scheduled to leave on vacation in 10 days, pulling our 9000 lb travel trailer on an extended highway trip. Had this sudden brake failure occurred on the road while pulling an rv, we would quite likely not have lived to tell the tale.*dt
7k miles on the car and the brakes fail, needs new master cylinder. Other f150 at the same dealership with 3k miles with the same problem.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving 60 mph, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when it was depressed. The emergency brake was used to slow the vehicle down and the low brake fluid indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to summerville ford (843-873-3550, located at 9700 dorchester rd, summerville, sc 29485) where it was diagnosed that the master cylinder and brake booster needed to be replaced. The technician stated that there was no recall. The manufacturer was called, but the contact did not speak with anyone. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 31,000. The vin was not provided.
While driving my vehicle the low brake fluid light came on as i was pulling into a parking spot.i parked the vehicle and checked the brake fluid, it was well below the minimum level. Since it stopped ok, i thought when i left i could just drive to a store and buy brake fluid.when i got in the truck 30 minutes later and started it the brake pedal went all the way to the floor.putting in drive i found that there were no brakes at all and used the foot emergency brake to stop the truck. I got a ride to a car parts store where i bought 32 oz. Bottle of brake fluid.i poured more than half the bottle into the reservoir getting it up to the max line, started the vehicle, pumped the brakes and got brake pressure back.i drove back to my campsite which was 1.5 miles away.halfway there the low brake fluid indicator came on again.by the time i arrived after 1.5 miles, the brakes were almost useless and there was very little pressure under the pedal.i parked the truck and check the fluid, again it was well below minimum and i could hear what sounded like a vacuum leak.i filled the reservoir up to almost max again, pumped the brakes, got pressures back and looked for any leaks under the truck and found none.i pulled the truck back and forth, about a 100 feet, repeatedly to see if i could see a leak - nothing, but the level in the reservoir was going down.i drove the truck in around a 1/4 mile circle and by the end the brake peddle had lost most of it's pressure, still no leaks under the truck.when it got towed the next day there was no stopping power at all.i was fortunate that this did not happen on a highway or more high speed road or i would have been in a very dangerous situation.i'm submitting this complaint because i have seen that there is an investigation of brake failure on some years of these trucks.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle experienced total brake failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure or produce a fault code. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 14,200.
I have a 2016 f150 3.5 ecoboost with 14000 miles, last night as i was going home, i was going down a little hill like i did many times before as i approached the stop sign at the bottom of the hill i started to push on my brakes then as the truck was about to come to a stop out of nowhere it seemed like my truck lost pressure or something cause then my brake pedal sunk in all the way in !!!with the truck gaining momentum again with quick thinking i stepped on theparking brake right next to the brake pedal and came to a stop!!! me and my girlfriend were scared we were a mile away from my house i carefully drove the truck home and at three stop lights, i stopped and i pressed the break and i was waiting for the light to turn green i pushed the brake in a little bit more then the break would sink in all the way in. I goggled the situation to find out that they are investigating this matter, this is the second time ford has let me down i had a 2006 lincoln mark lt same situation happened to me it had a recall on the brake booster, i have already call ford customer service to make a complaint, ford this is my family truck i drive my daughter in this truck that's the only time i drive it , with paying 50000 on a truck i deserve a good quality truck cause just like yall be raising the prices like nothing we the people deserve a good quality truck!!!
Sudden and complete loss of braking ability.driving 50mph.truck alerted to "low brake fluid." about 45 seconds later, i had no ability to brake other than the emergency brake.
I bought the truck in july with 63 miles on it. A month or so later i noticed the brake pedal going to the floor when stopped at a traffic light. I took tothe dealer and they looked at it and told me it was normal for the pedal to go to the floor under pressure because the system calculated how much pressure was needed to stop the vehicle. Today 12-6-2016 i was driving the truck and the pedal went to the floor when stopping, while the truck was still moving. I dropped it off at the dealer this morning and will have to wait and see what they say. I think it is a bad master cylinder and think the story about the computer controlling the brakes is just to get me out of the shop.
On 7 september 2019 we returned from a family trip of 9 days. During this time the f-150 was sitting in the garage the whole time. When we returned i went to back the truck out of the garage and when i depressed the brake pedal i had no brakes. Shortly noticing that there were no brakes the low brake fluid indicator came on. I checked the reservoir and indeed the level was really low, when it was full before we left on the trip. There were no pools or puddles of fluid anywhere.on 10 sept, i refilled the reservoir with brake fluid. While remaining in the driveway, i pumped the brakes. The break pedal consistently went to the floor with no breaking power. After several pumps of the breaks the low fluid level indicator came back on. I checked to see the level and indeed again it was below the minimum marker. And again there is no indication of leaking anywhere. There are no pools of fluid anywhere in the engine compartment nor under the vehicle. I plan to take the truck to the dealer for repairs.the vehicle has not been in an accident due to this problem. Some motion was used to verify if the breaks were working. All of this occurred in the garage or on the driveway of the house.
2016 ford f150 with ~12000 mile experienced complete brake failure with no warning indicators. At the time of the incident the vehicle was being driven in a high traffic city street, coming up to a stop light with traffic in front of the vehicle. The emergency brake was used to slow vehicle. The brake pedal went completely to the floor. Truck was towed to local ford dealership and the master cylinder and booster were replaced under warranty. The parts were replaced with identical new components, but no good explanation of why the components failed so early in the vehicle's life.
Brakes have completely ceased working at random times.three times total: the vehicle will be in motion (at varying speeds) and when brake is applied, the pedal goes all the way to the floor with little resistance.one time i was traveling at 55 mph on the highway and had to stop suddenly for slow traffic - i was forced to use the emergency brake.another time i was traveling at approximately 20 mph approaching a red light and i had to use the emergency brake to stop.the third time i was decelerating and trying to brake to take a hard right turn and the brakes didnt work; fortunately the i was already at a reduced rate of speed and the hard turn in slowed the vehicle enough that i was able to make the turn.but the truck traveled through my lane into the oncoming lane of traffic.thankfully no cars were waiting at that intersection.
Sudden warning indicator with "low brake fluid" followed by loss in brake pressure. Used e-brake to stop. No visible leaks at master cylinder or any of the 4 calipers. Refilled fluid and drove to a brake shop. Diagnosed as master cylinder leaking into brake pressure booster. Replaced master cylinder, fluid bleed/flush.
Brakes have failed on my 2016 f150. The master cylinder reservoir has been very low twice in the past 2 weeks. I filled it completely, to full line, twice.
Brakes failed and it is related to the brake booster and master cylinder.have to replace both at a cost of $1500.my understanding is ford is aware of this issue but has not fixed the problem.
I was driving down a busy 3 lane street, when i tried to apply my brakes the pedal went all the way to the floor and did very little to slow the truck, then the brake fluid low alarm went off. I pulled off the road into a parking lot to avoid other cars and applied my emergency brake to stop. I checked the brake fluid reservoir and it was empty, so i inspected all around under the truck and found no leaks or signs of leaking. 3 days before this i called the dealership and complained the brakes were starting to make some noise and didnt feel quit right, they said its probably dust and brakes are not covered under the warranty so you will need to pay to have them checked out. This truck is not even a year old! i drive this truck for work and to haul my family in it, now i don't feel safe, i should have never sold my old f150.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving approximately 30 mph, the brakes failed to stop the vehicle when the brake pedal was depressed. Also, 'low fluid' displayed and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The vehicle was cautiously driven to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the brake booster and master cylinder were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 68,767.
On 8-19-17 truck was moving at about 30 mph on a street, went to stop at a stop sign, brake pedal went all the way to the floor, truck would not stop. Released brakes, and tried again, this time pumping the brake pedal. Truck stopped this time. Continued on, brakes felt spongy but would stop and started feeling normal again. On 8-26-17 same scenario occurred. Dropped truck off at ford dealership on 8-28-17. As of 8-31-17 dealership has not duplicated problem, found any fluid leaks and has not solved problem. Just a side note. My brother in-law has the same exact truck and experienced the same situation about a year ago. At that time the dealership replaced the master cylinder and has seemed to solve his problem. I have also googled this problem and it seems to be a problem with other owners. Some have had the master cylinder replaced. I suggested this to the service writer at the dealership, service writer has declined to replace master cylinder since they can not duplicate problem or find any leaks.
While slowly pulling out of a drive way the driver applied the brakes but the pedal went to the floor. A mechanic's inspection determined the booster failed causing brake fluid to flow into the master cylinder. With no fluid in the lines there is no stopping ability.
On 7/16/18 at approximately 0400, while on rt 95 s driving at approximately 68 mph, in stamford ct, i applied brakes and brakes failed.using downshift and e brake i successfully slowed down and took the nearest exit ramp.brought the vehicle to the nearest ford dealer.its reported that the master cylinder failed.looking on-line there is an apparent issue the 2015, 2016 v6 eco boost models where this failure has occurred.ford is currently evaluating whether to cover the repairs.this notification is for record purposes as on-line it appears that nhtsa is investigating these failures.
While driving at highway speed 70 mph electric emergency brake engaged without warning causing sudden and sustained loss of speed. Shortly after truck was pulled to the side of the road rear brake area was noted to have burnt odor emitting from the area. Further attempts to evacuate the vehicle from the roadway were unsuccessful as the vehicle rear wheels intermittently locked up while the truck was in forward motion.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact was driving approximately 50 mph, when the brake warning light illuminated. The contact was able to pull over and inspect the brake reservoir and noticed that it was empty. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with nhtsa campaign number: 20v332000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the vin was not included. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 63,643.
Driving down a hill with my family in the truck on a divided highway going approximately 50 mph. I went to apply the brakes for an upcoming stop light and the pedal went almost completely to the floor. At the same time a "brake fluid level low" alarm light turned on in my dash along with the parking brake engaged symbol. I had to quickly shift my transmission to manual and down shift the transmission from 6th gear all the way down to first gear to be able to safely pull off to the side of the road. When i checked, the brake fluid reservoir was below the minimum (min) level indicator. I later filled the reservoir to the max line and tested the brakes. The "brake fluid low level" warning light and the parking brake applied light went away and everything seemed normal. I tested the brakes and they seemed to be working. I then tested the vehicle out in a safe area and within minutes the brakes failed again and the lights came back on. At this time i parked the vehicle and referred to the factory repair manual to diagnose the problem. There were no visible leaks from any of the brake components including the calipers, brake lines or master cylinder. The manual recommended checking to see if any brake fluid was in the brake booster. The brake booster was nearly half full of brake fluid. At this point i replaced the master cylinder and brake booster as recommended by the factory manual. This is a know issue with 2013-2016 ford f-150's and there has been a factory recall on the 2013-2014 f-150's (16v345000). I feel that if i had not put the vehicle in manual and downshifted i would not been able to stop and could have caused an accident at the intersection. Even after the repair of the brake system i do not feel comfortable driving this vehicle.
After owning this vehicle for 1 month, the breaks failed on me while i attempted to stop at a stop sign before pulling out onto a highway.the break pedal went straight to the floor and i rolled out into traffic instead of stopping.this is my main family vehicle, it is what i drive my 2, 3-year old children in 99% of the time.i looked for a recall status and found multiple complaints of this issue online, but no recall being issued.i am terrified to use the vehicle now and i am now stuck with it for a minimum of the next 6yrs till it's paid off.if this had happened while i was on a family vacation towing a 6000 pound trailer (what this vehicle is intend for in my family) my family could have been seriously injured or died!now i'm stuck with a $35k vehicle, not feeling safe taking our family vacations and my $17k camper just sits here unused because i don't have a safe vehicale to use for towing.
I was driving on the north texas tollway today. Get a low brake fluid warning light. When i tried to slow down the brakes went to floor. 0% braking. Fortunately, coasted tot a stop on the inside shoulder of a high speed tollway - dangerous. Eventually towed to park cities ford (dallas, texas). Had i taken the next exit i would have entered a busy multiple lane highway system from an elevated overpass. Very likely would have been a major accident with high likelihood of injury. This is a well maintained vehicle. Recent service. No wrecks. No brake fluid seen where the truck was parked prior to today's event. Absolutely, no warning.
I have little to no brakes first thing in the morning. After a couple of minutes they work fine. I believe it's a vacuum booster pump problem on the ford 3.5 ecoboost motor. 3 dealerships failed to duplicate the problem. However it's a common occurrence to me. Pulling out of my driveway into traffic is a real danger to me and my family.
The brake fluid reservoir drains to empty and you loose brakes but there is no apparent leak in the engine compartment, under the truck, on the wheels, or at the brakes. Refilled reservoir and did not drive and reservoir and 3 days later it was empty again.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated that while in a parking lot, the brake pedal was depressed to shift from park to drive, after releasing the pedal the vehicle was coasting in the parking lot, the brake was depressed again and travelled to the floorboard. The contact stated he had to swerve from colliding with another vehicle. The parking brake was applied to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was shifted to park and turned off. The brake fluid level and parking brake warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that he exited the vehicle and upon opening the hood discovered that the brake fluid reservoir was empty. The contact stated that he parked the vehicle and went to autozone for brake fluid. The brake fluid was added to the vehicle, the vehicle was restarted, the brake pedal was depressed several times until the brakes was operational. The contact drove to his residence, where the vehicle was parked with the parking brake applied. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred while stopping on a hill. The vehicle was driven back to the residence. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 20v332000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part to remedy the failure was not available. The vehicle was towed to the dealer fritts ford (8000 auto dr, riverside, ca 92504) where it was awaiting diagnosis and repairs. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 96,000.

Today drove truck normally around neighborhood.parked it for maybe 3 minutes, upon restart had low brake fluid warning and complete loss of brakes.tested to see if light was error, but total loss of brakes.had truck serviced at local ford dealer just 134 miles where they inspected all fluids.incident occurred on local street.searched internet and noted several similar occurrences for 2016 models.thankful i was moving at slow speeds.attached photo of previous service record and indicator light.i'll have towed to ford tomorrow to diagnose the problem.no incident occurred but given experience of others i thought important to add documentation to this type of failure.
While on the road, began to notice brake pedal travel was softer and closer to the floor before any braking action occurred.stopped at the last red light before arriving home.while sitting at the light, i steadily pressed harder on the pedal, and it reached the floor.pulled into driveway and duplicated the same test.when purchased new, the brake pedal was very sensitive to the touch, and braking was quick to react.we had to adapt to that so as not to throw ourselves forward in our seats when applying the brakes.but that's not the issue now.the issue now is one of feeling the brakes can not be trusted, so much so that something needs to be fixed.truck is in for service as i type.dealer says they haven't been able to duplicate what i've reported.that seems to be the norm in many consumer complaints i've researched from owners of this very same vehicle, with much of the samebraking issues.some of those complaints mentioned minor accidents, and other evasive actions needed to avoid damage or personal injury.meanwhile, i'm waiting for dealer's next response.
Backed out driveway and had no brakes (pushed on peddle all the way and went to floor. Vehicle didn't slow)had brakes day before and no warning, nor fluid anywhere. Reservoir was visibly well below minimum.looking back, i did smell hydraulic oil night before when i pulled in garage. Dealer said fluid leaked into powerbooster

Left my home this morning and approached a stop sign and almost lost complete braking on my vehicle. Brake pedal was firm but almost no stopping ability. Brake fluidreservoir is full and brake pads and rotors are in good condition.
While slowing to pull into my companies driveway off of a very busy highway my brakes failed. As i begin to apply the brake pedal it had little to no resistance and the pedal went all the way to the floor with almost zero stopping power (on dry surface). I knew i would definitely crash if i tried to pull into the drive at the rate i was traveling, so i turned up the shoulder against oncoming traffic to regain control. Being very confused because my truck is still brand new i went down many back roads testing my brakes to thankfully having no other failures. One week later it happened to my fianc while she was coming to a stop sign and was very blessed there was no oncoming traffic as the vehicle did not stop before entering the intersection. A couple of days later it happened to her again but she had began to apply the brakes at a much greater distance away and the vehicle was able to come to a complete stop before the intersection. The best way i can describe it is, that it feels as if the front brakes are disengaged and there is some stopping power from the rear with no loss of traction. I notified my dealership and was told they were not able to duplicate the issue. I just pray there is a solution to this issue or that it never happens again before me or my family get hurt.
I went to stop/brake for slowing traffic on interstate when brake pedal went all the way to the floor, truck would not stop. Truck after impact still traveled over 200 plus yards before coming to a rolling stop. How can the follow happen??? 'brake pedal going all the way down to the floor'sudden loss of braking effectiveness'complete failure of braking function
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving approximately 40 mph, another vehicle attempted to merge into the contact?s lane. The contact depressed the brake pedal and the pedal traveled all the way to the floorboard. The second time the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle slowed down. The contact stated that the failure had been occurring for approximately three months. The contact drove the vehicle to the dealer (mcree ford inc, 2800 gulf freeway dickinson, texas 77539) for diagnostic testing. The dealer trimmed the rotors and informed the contact that the failure was normal and that the brakes would adjust with time; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not taken back to the dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 25,800.
Out of no where & no indication anything was wrong, my son was driving home & lost all brakes. Out of the 300,000 recalled for this reason our vin# wasn't on the list. So we had to pay the $1117 . Ford did not seem to care when we reported it to their main office in michigan. This could have caused a serious wreck or even a death!
Complete brake failure with no warnings
Total brake failure
Brake pedal went to the floor with very little stopping power. I was able to stop without an accident occurring. There were no indicator lights saying there is a problem with the brakes. Dealer said the master cylinder needs to be replaced.it is being replaced under warranty.
The truck has had issues with the hillassist failure, then check engine light then wrench light causing the truck to go from 45 mph to 2mph without notice. The throttle bottle also went out on this truck causing the truck to go from 45 mph to 2 mph in traffic, this is the ford wrench light. On two seperate occasions, when starting the truck and releasing the parking brake, a parking brake malfunction light flashes, then when trying to move the truck into gear it will move from park to drive to reverse, but will not move. Please contact me asap. I have a detailed list of dates and occurances along with all email conversations with ford. Ford soes not believe this is a problem and seems to ignore the safety concerns.
No brakes.took to ford.does not fall under current recall of nhtsa campaign number 20v-332.however my ford dealer is charging me to replace the same exact parts under the recall.brake booster pump and brake master cylinder.exactly what happened.no brakes.brake fluid low.added more brake fluid, not leaking under truck.emergency brake still works.had it towed to ford 2 weeks ago.they are not returning my call.they did tell me they had to order brake booster pump, brake master cylinder and flush the brake lines. $3000 repair.odd that this is the same repair under the recall.
Low brake fluid light is continuously going on and off. Parking brake also came on. There was a recall and brought to dealer and they said it was fixed. Happen shortly after, dealer said needed a battery. Replaced battery and light is still going on and off. The recall said front brakes wil go out with this issue. If this isn't fixed it will cause a crash.
While heading to the dentist yesterday i was driving and the low brake fluid light came on, thought maybe a sensor fault and kept driving, next the brake light indicator in the instrument cluster came on.so i pulled over and the pedal went to the floor.i barely stopped in time because there was a stop sign.i popped the hood and there was no fluid in the master cylinder.i locked the truck up and walked 3 blocks to a ace hardware to get some more fluid.i got back to the truck and checked for leaks but didn't find any.so i filled up the fluid and pumped the brakes, i had enough to get me home safely.when i got home i checked again and found the fluid to be all gone again.that was withing a 5 mile distance to where i filled it up last.i checked for leaks once again and didn't find any.so i pulled the vacuum sensor off the bottom of the brake booster and all of the brake fluid poured out.the master cylinder failed and kept pushing the brake fluid into the booster.

While driving the interior instrument lights suddenly come on park brake, 4x4, air bag, traction,abs, advance trac, and steering assist. During this process the brakes engage & then you can hear thescrubbing sound of the brakes.this has happened multiple times. I've returned it to the dealer for service 3 times, after a month of diagnostic testing & road testing the steering system failed on the serviceman while driving it. They informed me that they want to return the vehicle to me without making any repairs because it has not re initiated this process in the last 3 days. This is a safety hazard for me and any other vehicle on the road. Ford has informed me that if the steering goes out while driving call roadside to bring it back. Total disregard for my safety and or anyone else. This event occurs while driving, it also shows these readings upon starting the vehicle. This has happened under 30,000 miles and over that threshold. It has happened on multiple occasions.
On my way to work took a left turn to the interstate on ramp and steering temporarily locked up/stuck in the turned position for a second or two and returned to normal the rest of the trip. At lunchtime operation was pretty normal except for slight handling difficulty. Backing out after work noticed a creaking/groaning noise as well as a popping noise felt thru the steering wheel. Pulled out onto highway and immediately noticed steering jerking (not pulling, drifting or wandering) left and right with slight bumps in the road and/or steering input. Pulled over at a gas station, turned the truck off for a few minutes and restarted with no change. Switched off traction control and it actually did improve some the rest of my drive home. Got home, parked, turned it off. 15 minutes later got in with my 6 year old son and 15 year old niece, pulled out onto highway and steering totally locked up mid turn. Luckily it was late in the afternoon and traffic was low and we were not completely blocking the road so traffic could go around. Was able to back onto shoulder and call a tow truck. Ford dealership found pscm not operating properly. Steering gear was replaced.
Vehicle lane assist does not work any longer.when stationary at start up the icon appears but when you reach the proper operating speed for the feature to assist you driving it does not work and will not turn on.
Steering started to get tight while turning, this would only happen periodically. Then while i was exiting a freeway while pulling a trailer i lost all power steering and almost wrecked, the advancetrac service light and the electronic steering light came on. I had the truck towed to a service center to find out the front rack assembly needs to be replaced, truck is 2 1/2 years old and has 77,000 miles.
Stering eratic, loud rubing sound. Vibration in right wheel jerking sensation in wheel

Vague steering on center.lack of control in first few degrees of steering wheel movement followed by overcorrection there after.clunking from steering rack.vehicle wanders on straightaways making it hard to control at highway speeds.
My 2016 f-150 has intermittent steering and handling issues. I have had several instances of temporary loss of control on this vehicle. The most severe was when coming out of a gradual turn to the right at 65 mph. When bringing the truck back straight, i felt something slide in the front axle and it felt as if the right wheel was falling off. The steering felt as if it wasn't connected during this episode, and the truck did not respond to my steering inputs. I have had several other similar events happen at all speeds from 20 mph to 65 mph. The steering also pulls to the right after turns and intermittently loses power assist. Sometimes the steering wheel can barely be turned with enormous effort, other times it feels slack and loose. The vehicle has been in the shopfor this unsafe steering as well as a grinding noise coming from the right front 4wd hub. Three unsucessful repair attempts were made for the right 4wd hub, but no mention of the steering safety check i requested several times was ever made. Furthermore, the dealer and manufacturer has been non responsive to my request to get a ford rep involved to correctly fix my truck. I am uncertain whether the steering/ handling problem is caused by the defective 4wd hub or by the steering rack or column. Because i have experienced an increase in these steering events, and i deem the vehicle unsafe to drive, i have parked the truck since august 22nd.
Driving out my drive way my steering froze up on me.
Steering locked up. It freed then driving down interstate everything came on steering assist
One week ago left work and turned on truck. When starting to pull out of parking space abs light came on dash. After getting home and calling dealer to have inspection, was informed it would be 2 weeks to get infor service. As vehicle is daily driver continued to drive around town and to work, a few days after regular use steering column started getting harder to turn and developed clicking sound. Called another mechanic to get in sooner and before could make that appointment scheduled for two days later entire steering column locked up and vehicle is unusable. Being towed to repair shop today. Luckily was not driving when column locked up. Had started vehicle in driveway and was planning on going to store when unable to back up because steering columns/wheel would not move. Now awaiting work from repair shop on doagnsostics and issue to repair. Very frustrated as vehicle less than 3 years old and with only 70k miles.
The steering on my 2016 ford f-150 went out while driving almost making me crash i lost control of my truck the steering wheel was really hard for me to turn luckily i was able to make it home safe i have a hole bunch of light on my dash coming on say steering assist fault service steering
Have had this vehicle to dealer multiple times with complaint of hearing rattling under vehicle and in steering column along with noise from right front brake area.also with complaints of vehicles wandering left and right on highway regardless of road crown.have asked specifically to check the electric steering to ensure not faulty.all these complaints while still under original warranty.today, two weeks after last visit, steering locks up while driving and i cannot turn the vehicle.fortunately, i was on my property going slow and was able to stop safely.i was driving home and drove 30 miles on the interstate doing 70mph.glad the steering did not freeze then.shut the vehicle off and then restarted it and got the 'steering assist fault service required' on the cluster along with a bunch of other symbols.the sync screen came up and froze and could not be cleared nor was it responsive to any other selections on screen.i think this is an electrical issue with either the electric steering, a sensor or possible low or interrupted voltage.this vehicle has no voltage gauge for battery nor was there any indicator that warned of a low voltage issue when the steering wheel would not turn.is nhtsa waiting for someone to be killed with this problem before it is investigated?i am waiting until monday when dealer opens to have them come get this vehicle.i am afraid to even attempt to do anything to it to drive it to dealer for service.i am uploading the latest service invoice for this issue.dealer has consistently stated there was nothing wrong.
Steering wheel on ford f150 locks up and user is unable to turn the wheel. If this happens while driving, lives can truly be at risk.the vehicle was stationary when the problem occurred.
After starting vehicle i heard noise after turning steering wheel to back up.proceeded to go on road and the steering was not acting right.like i had lost my power steering.tried to make turn and had to commensate to make truck stay in the right lane.not knowing what was going on tried to go straight as possible to a repair shop i usually use.it appeared turning was a problem. Pulled into their parking lot turning wheel real slow.they said it was the electric steering part and it should be under warranty.left there making as few and slow turns as possible to nearest warranty station about 5 miles away,bill talley ford in mechanicsville.not sure when i would have no power steering i was scared to drive 15 miles to where i purchased the vehicle in jan., 2017, from sheety ford.talley ford said they would have to replace whole electric power steering as there were no replacement parts for this item.i have read a lot of reports and reviews as ford had this problem with other models and has done nothing about it.sad i have a truck for less than 4 years and having to spend $2700,00 to replace a major part that ford knows is defective.
I took my truck to greenwood ford in bowling green ky for a hillside assist error.while it was there, i was told the power steering failed & need a new electric power steering rack. There was no warning that the power steering was going to fail.cost was 1650.00the truck had 38500 miles
When backing the truck down the driveway at a low speed. The steering wheel locked at the moment you have to cut left to avoid a neighborhood watch sign that sits adjacent the driveway.the left mirror broke off, impacting the left front quarter panel resulting in approximately $1,500 damage to the vehicle.i also damaged the community sign requiring repair.as noted in other nhtsa reports, diagnostic tests were void of steering codes.battery failure was noted however even though a battery indicator light on the instrument panel never appeared.the dealership document noted 'load tested battery failed ' recommend battery ' can cause electrical issues.'in other words, epas failed or locked due to a battery issue that was not displayed on the console.
Was parked at a gas station and when i backed up to leave my wife and i heard this thumping noise and when i put the vehicle in drive the steering began to lock up. With all my power, it was all i do to barely turn the wheel. I read up that similar recalls had been made on this very same problem with earlier trucks and it all stems from a intermediate steering shaft issue where poorly riveted shafts all had this problem. Huge safety issue and my truck only has 45,000 miles on it. Video of consistent problem can be found athttps://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=youtube+ford+steering+problems&docid=608045636862545026&mid=507e75ef995e503b2084507e75ef995e503b2084&view=detail&form=vire
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving 75 mph, the power steering malfunctioned without warning.

My 2016 f-150 plarinum with adaptive cruise control, runs up behind vehicles on occasions then brakes hard. If the other vehicle is a semi, as you attempt to pass him with adaptive cruise on, the car brakes hard and slows down on occasions. In addition to this problem, on 5 different occasions when coming to a bend in the road, the steering gets very stiff as if the power steering is inoperative. The is very briefly before the steering returns to a very sensitive steering , also very brief. The vehicle at this point is in a under steer condition which it corrects itself. This has occurred at least 6 times. My selling ford dealer has twice checked the programing with 0 results. No codes- no problems when they test drive it. The vehicle has 3550 miles and i'm getting scared to drive it. This first problem is identical to the 2015 ford f-150 problem. According to my selling dealer, my vehicle which i purchased 2/19/16 was built towards the end of last year, but my dealer states this has no bearing on my alleged cruise problems. My selling dealer is two rivers ford in mount juliet, tennessee. An additional vehicle at their dealership has been reported by one of their salesmen to have the same problem to management, and the problem exists today is my understanding. The speed at which these problems arise is varied and on at least one occasion i was almost rear ended by a semi who was coming up behind me when the brakes applied themselves.
An unsafe, road hazard, a booby trap f150 truck. This is what i got from a ford dealer in covington. An unsafe truck.whose fault that the truck is on the roads? would like to find out. Ford comp. Or the dealer? we are an older, seniors, minority couple just trying to buy our first f150 truck.on dec. 31st 2018, bought a 2016 f150 fordtruck from this dealer. I was told that this truck is covered by a special ford comp. Take back the truck. I have his message on my voice mail.they will try to fix it full warranty being a buy back truck,including even the light bulbs, on top of the regular warranty. . said that vibration came from the wheels no, called them again, sent them few emails. I told them that i will go on a hunger strike in front of their dealer. Finally, the owner,math, called me to or they will give me another truck. They knew that the truck is not safe to drive on the streets. It's road hazard. And not talking about the smoke inside the cabin. You can die of suffocation. Drove another our or so to their dealer. Had erddyn, the seller guy to drive test the truck. After few minutes of drive, we noticed the vibration. He said is normal. Then it started to vibrate even worst. I asked him about the strong smoke smell. Did not say anything. Got back to the dealer, inspected the truck.the truck was in good shape. After 2 hours of talk with the owner, they offer me get me another truck. Older year model, inferior class. Did not accepted, so, they said hit the road. And left after wasting over 3 hours. So, here i am with a very unsafe truck driving on the roads. Sooner or later an accident is gonna happen, or me dying of suffocation in the cabin. No. I'm gonna protest in front of their dealer , and then i'm gonna do the same in front ford motor company headquarter. Is their fault too. Putting back on the roads a unsafe car? and covington ford to sell it.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving 35 mph, the steering became firm before ceasing. The contact pulled over and restarted the vehicle and drove to the residence. The following day the vehicle was taken to autonation ford bradenton (5325 14th st w, bradenton, fl 34207) to be diagnosed.

I have a 2016 ford f-150 with roughly 40,000 miles on it. My truck has been out of service since september 16th, with a steering issue. The electronic power assist steering (epas) went out on the truck driving home from costco that evening with my 3 year old son and girlfriend in the car, i attempted to take a right turn and the steering locked up on me, nearly causing us to crash. The next day i took it to bill brandt ford in brentwood ca, but they wanted $170.00 just to diagnose it, so i declined the service because i have a friend that is a mechanic for tri delta transit and he was able to diagnose it for free. He found out it was the epas, and that i had to replace the whole rack and pinion, which is about a $1,300.00 part. This issue should not be happening on such a new vehicle, but since i am 4,000 miles over the bumper to bumper warranty i have no choice but to pay for the new part for my truck. The issue with ford is, since the truck is so new there are no other companies carrying that part besides ford at the moment. I called their parts service around september 20th to order the part but they stated it was on back order until october 9th and were not taking any orders. I patiently waited until october 9th and called back to order it and they said it has been pushed back to late october and to call back at the end of the month. This is a real big inconvience for me especially being employed and having a young child, i have been without a vehicle for almost a full month now. I've reached out to ford and talked to their regional manager trying to explain the issue and if there was anything they could do for me, like a rental car or get the part asap for me, but she stated there was nothing they can do. After doing extensive research i have found out that this steering defect is a pretty common issue ford f-150 owners are experiencing.
I experienced an electrical failure that was intermittent at first but became worst over time.with this failure i would lose steering and vehicle advance track as well as abs brake function.when electrical power was lost the electrical power steering would stop functioning causing complete lose of steering.this caused me to cross into oncoming traffic, luckily there was no one in the oncoming lane.the dealer found a wire going to the alternator that had worn through causing an over voltage condition.this caused many of the systems, including steering, to shut down.in my research this is not the only occurrence of this issue.my vehicle has 42,000 miles on it.i would guess this will become a much more common issue with time.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle pulled to the left and right. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The failure recurred numerous times. In addition, the contact stated that the rear passenger door failed to open from inside and outside of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to ford of montebello (located at 2747 via campo, montebello, ca 90640, (323) 358-2880), but a failure code could not be found. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided a case number. The approximate failure mileage was 37,000.
Steering wheel will not lock when engine is turned off and key removed.
Epas system exhibits wander on center when driving straight down highway making it hard to control and keep in lane. This happens with lkas off or on.steering wheel has a clunk and excessive play between l & r inputs.experience is symptomatic of a worn mechanical steering rack.ford dealer claims it is normal, but my truck does not drive like other vehicles.
I have no power steering and a code for that. Also codes for hill decent, hill assist, traction control. Also cruise control does not work for does my radio source selection. As of now that is all that i have found not working. These problems all happened at the same time. Steering is almost impossible and is a big safety factor.
Steering was locking up while driving, took to dealer three times with the same issue.the dealer stated there was no issue because there was no codes.my steering went out completely and can not steer. Multiple issues with epas have been found online with ford f150s.
Driving normally on four lane divided state road when warnings about various system failures came up on dash (traction control, braking, charging system).power steering stopped working first then truck shut down.got jump started thinking battery or alternator and truck drove normally for a few minutes then same scenario repeated.
Power steering failed twice while backing upthere is a shutter when coming to a stop. Sometimes hard enough to feel like you were hit from behind
At low speeds (15-30 miles per hour) the steering wheel grabs and locks up and you have to force it to turn by pushing the wheel harder.jim click ford determined the steering gear box needed to be replaced as they could not guarantee the steering would completely lock up.
My 2016 f150 5.0 supercrewhas started to regularly stall when idling in park or when braking or coasting when coming to a intersection.i can immediately restart upon putting in park or neutral.sometimes a check engine light comes on.upon googling the problem it seems pretty common with no answers of certainty.
This is my second issue of the same problem. The airbag cover cracks along the ford logo and becomes a sharp edge when applying the horn. In addition, i am concerned if this may accidentally activate the airbag? there are numerous complaints/concerns in the internet about this same issue and the same location of issue.as you can view in the attached photo, it is a defect in the workmanship that causes the seperation of the airbag cover.
Vehicle is a supercrew (4 door). Door locks do not latch in weather below freezing.thankfully, vehicle was stationary when discovered. There is a ford tsb already (tsb 16-0155). Dealer applied a "temporary" fix because parts are not available, but i would think the doors staying closed properly should be a larger issue than a tsb.
Second complaint regarding freezing door latches causing doors to not latch shut and open while vehicle is in motion. Truck has been serviced 3 separate times, with latches, rods, & rain shields installed/replaced under tsb (not eligible for recall since tsb has been attempted). Contacted manufacturer's customer service line and representative apologized and stated they have received many similar complaints and she directed me to the manufacturer's vehicle buyback department. The vehicle buyback department representative again confirmed they have received numerous, similar complaints and they would review my warranty history to determine if a buyback was appropriate. After 1 week, the buyback department contacted me and stated they are not able to buy back the vehicle despite the safety concern identified. The representative directed me to the better business bureau's auto hotline listed in the owner's manual to consider arbitration proceedings. This safety concern (doors opening while operating and doors freezing shut) has been acknowledged by 1) the dealer, 2) the customer service representative, and 3) the buyback department representative, yet no solution has been achieved despite multiple repair attempts.
Scheduled appointment with local dealer in response to recall notice 17s33 regarding doors that may not open or close while driving (nhtsa recal # 17v652.upon arrival at dealer, wasadvisedthatthey ran out of parts and that i would be called when parts became available.as of today,i have not received any calls.need to know if fordhas truly run out of parts for recall, and whether vehicle can/should be driven inthis condition.
17 f degrees and my door latch would not hold / keep the drivers side door closed.after multiple attempts to close the door i held it shut and drove it to work.after the vehicle warmed up the latch started to work or appeared to. The door locks and latches have issues when the outside temperature drops below freezing. Getting in the truck is questionable but the drivers door not latching will eventually have someone fall out of the vehicle or cause an accident trying to drive with one hand while holding the door closed with the other. This sounds like a common issue from multiple complaints on internet forums and ford is slow or not really responding quickly to the problem. This is not a issue in warm weather states but in ohio its a real issue.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired by an unknown dealer per nhtsa campaign number: 17v652000 (latches/locks/linkages) on january 4, 2018; however, the repair did not correct the failure. The contact was unable to securely latch or unlatch all the doors. The manufacturer was made aware that the repair did not correct the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 26,000.
Door latches were freezing and rendering my vehicle unsafe as the door would open, but then not shut.ford has issued a recall and i took my vehicle to kenny ross ford in adamsburg, pa to have the recall work performed.on 1/2/2018, kenny ross ford indicated that they performed the recall fix. However, on 1/13/2018, my door once again froze in the open position and would not shut.this was after my vehicle had the ford recall parts installed.i'm concerned that ford isn't taking this safety hazard seriously. I'm interested to hear what my best course of action is to hold ford accountable for this unsafe condition. Below is the work detail from the recall work that was performed on 1/2/2018:cause: recall 17s331 fl3z*1521978*d shield-door lock1 xl*5*a grease- chassis lubrication 1 fl3z*1521853*ab rod1 fl3z*1521852*ab rod1 fl3z*1626494*f shield-door lock1 fl3z*1626461*ab rod1 fl3z*1626460*ab rodclaim type 17s33 auth code 81016 note: 28235 installed door latch shields and new lock rods as per recall
Tailgate opens by itself.has happened while driving at least once (that i know of because i have a bed cap on that has held it in place).the one time i noticed it i was towing a trailer and was fortunate that the tailgate did not get wedged between the trailer jack on a turn.i have now noticed that the tailgate will open and the latch mechanism will continue to fire even after the tailgate is down,
Extreme wind noise coming from driver's side door
Whenever outside temperature is below freezing the drivers door will not latch at all and has to be held closed while driving. When the temperature of the door warms the latch functions normally. This has happened at least six times and i have it documented on video however the file is to large to attach i can email it another way if needed when i'm contacted.
When cold enough, door will not latch and sometimes opens while driving
During cold weather environments, doors freeze and are unable to open from the inside or outside.
Foam strip peeling off between the two halfs of the windshield cowl .
The door latching mechanism fails to engage and the door will not stay closed, posing a safety risk while the vehicle is in motion.according to the dealer some objects were able to entry the mechanism via the door handle and stop the latch from engaging.
The sun roof track rattles it has been in 3 times and is starting to rattle again
The doors (all 4) freeze in temp below 30 degrees. Ford replaced the hardware 4 times and they still freeze. After you open the doors they will not close until they thaw. While driving on 2 occasions the doors flew open while moving. Now use duct tape to hold doors closed
At 25 degrees f or colder the power door locks do not work. On two occasions the passenger doors have not latched shut after dozens of attempts to close the door.
Doors and tailgate fail to lock and unlock in cold weather. Making it impossible to get in or out of truck in an emergency.
The driver door came open and wouldn't close. I had to hold the door closed while i drove home almost 40 miles away!!! it was very difficult to hold because it kept wanting to fly open. This first happened when i got in my truck to leave my farm, but i had no option other than to drive home trying to hold the door shut.
When i got off work got into my vehicle after a rainy day water poured out from my control panel on the ceiling of my truck. This the second time it's done it. Water comes out of the buttons used to control the rear window button also from the passenger side handle used to help upon entry to the vehicle. The vehicle was stationary for 10 hours and rain was happening all day. When i got in my vehicle the interior was dry but as soon as i turned right water began to pour from the control panel on the ceiling.

Have gone through 2 recall fixes and problem remains:doors can be opened but will not latch in cold weather.if driving is a necessity, you drive holding the door closed or with bungie cords.this is a safety issue as the latches are not latching and ford has yet to be able to fix this
When stationary, the truck back passenger side door does not always close.the driver side front door does not stay open when on a minor grade and stationary.the dealer took the vehicle to a body shop to align the doors, as they were off alignment about 1/8-1/4".when i compalined that the driver side door was still misaligned i was told that "these are mass produced and this just happens".i recently received a recall notice about the doors coming open while driving, not shutting completely, etc.i called ford motor co and told them i'd already had the door issues addressed once.i was told that i could make another appointment when the correct parts were delivered to my dealer.i asked if a rental car would be authorized.the answer was no.i asked if i should drive the vehicle and was told that was my call.so, no parts, no fix, potentially dangerous situation, and no recourse with ford.any advice?
Doors locks are freezing up and door will not close on my 2016 f150. Truck have been serviced on 12/6/18, 8/3/18, 4/13/18 and i'm going to bring it in 12/19/19 for service for frozen door locks. My vehicle stationary at work on 12/15/19 and i couldn't lock the door until 20minutes later. Then 12/12/19 in morning i was driving and the door was unlock i pulled over and it wouldn't lock so my wife had to hold the door until i dropped her off. This is a major concern with ford. This is ainconvenience for me and ford shouldcompensate me for this issue or ford should buy the car back because something is wrong with the doors and this is a safety concern.
Driver door did not latch when closing it. After heating it up and oiling it, it latched again.
Plastic tracks on panoramic sunroof broke. While stationary. I was unable to close sunroof.
2016 ford f-150 supercrew lariat 4x4 - vehicle door opening mechanism has failed on both the driver's door as well as the passenger rear door.specifically the driver's door has both not opened from the outside and at a later time not been able to close door.when you close the door it, just bounces back open as the latch mechanism did not engage.similarly, the rear passenger door on this truck has on two occasions already resulted in a failing latching mechanism preventing the door from being opened.with three young children who ride in the rear seats, having a door that fails to close is an extreme safety hazard as the children expect any door that they close on an automobile to latch when shut.i have been fortunate enough to notice the "door ajar" alert on the dash, but there may be some who do not notice this.it's worth noting that after opening and closing the door and also locking and unlocking the vehicle eventually it will close, but it usually takes more than 15 minutes for closure to take place.at which point, you are terrified to open your own door once more for fear that it will not close.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f150. The contact received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign number: 17v652000 (latches/locks/linkages). The contact spoke with marysville ford (15900 smokey point blvd, marysville, wa 98271, (360) 659-4000) on three different dates and was advised that parts were not available to complete the recall repair. On april 2, 2017, the contact stated that the door latches failed and the vehicle could not be unlocked. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that parts would become available in six months. The failure mileage was 40,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Supercrew rear door locks fail to electronically unlock (or lock) in freezing tempertures. Getting into the vehichle requires climbing into the back seat from the front and manually cycling the door lock. However this does not fix the problem; the electronic fob and interior butttons still fail to actuate the locking mechnaism until warmer temperatres return. In addition to dailey inconvenience this senario raises more serious concerns such as: lack of access to passengers in the event of an accident, inability to secure (lock) the vehicle confiedently, potential to be locked out of the vehicle in extreme cold and other unforeseen saftey concerns.
Door latch stuck open after opening and unable to get to reset so door would stay closed. Vehicle was unsafe to drive until temperatues outside went up above freezing. Vehicle was parked in driveway and remote start was used to start/warm vehicle prior to trying to leave for work. Happened multiple times this winter, but only recording one date below due to limitation in online reporting system. When looking up this problem found vehicles have been issued recall for repair, but my vehicle vin is not included in the recall for this issue.
In colder weather under 30 degrees, the doors freeze shut.once they are opened, they will not latch when shut.overall, the doors are not easy to close and latch tightly unless they are closed with a lot of force.there needs to be some remedy to this as it is not acceptable.
I was told by the sales person, (xxxxx), that the truck is under a bumper to bumper warranty, and a ford company warranty that includes even the light bulb. After just few days of driving, i noticed some vibration of the truck, bad oil burning in the cabine,griding of the wheels when i have to take sharp corners and many more issues. Called the covington ford dealer about the problems/issues i have with the truck. I was told to take it to a ford dealer to have it inspected. Did that. Called covington ford and they told me to take it over to theyr dealer and they will checked and fix it. Left the truck for over a week with them i called to see what's going on with my truck. I was told they fixed everything.now the vibration is getting worse. Called again covington ford with same problems. I told them i'll go on a hunger strike in front of their dealer and ford company main office. And i will if the problem is not solved. The owner of covington ford contacted me by phone, and left me a mesage that thy will take care of the truck or get me another truck. Drove again to their dealer on a saturday morning. The sales person, (xxxxx) , took a test drive and he said that yes, there are to many problems with the truck, so, i'm gonna get another one. After over 3 hours of back and forth with the owner and general manager, they offer me a older model,2015, and lower xl model. Now i have f150 2016xlt. Did not accepted, so they told me to hit the road. As i said, i'm gonna go on a day hunger strike, call all the media outlets. Even i'll put it on face book. Covington ford should be responsable and inspect the cars before they offer it for sale. I hope that you will help me to solve this problem before i'll go on a hunger strike. All i want from covington ford to stand behind their sales, honor the warranties. Thank you. A very disappointed customer.

Drivers door unable to latch closed when cold.15 degrees this morning, unlocked vehicle via keyless entry.drivers door opened ok, when closed just popped back open - did not latch closed.
Seal seams causing leaking into interior of vehicle. Causing carpet to get wet and water to collect in the doors.
Door will not latch due to cold temperature. Will work when heated, but then refreezes not allowing the door to latch. Can not operate vehicle with a door not latched closed and it is primary vehicle.i recently purchased the vehicle used from a dealership who is not responding to this issue
Door latches are inoperable in temps below 30f. Door cannot be opened and/or latched closed. Two ford recalls to remedy the issue have failed to work successfully on every door. This makes the truck either completely inoperable because i cant gain entry or a safety hazard if doors cannot be latched closed. I also fear not being able to get myself, or worse, my children out of the vehicle in the event of an emergency.
I have a ford f150 with only 6k miles.great truck!however, the front door has been freezing up in 20-30 degree weather. This becomes an extremely unsafe vehicle when this happens. The reason is because the door will not stay shut unless i try to hold it shut, which is very difficulty due to it being a very heavy door.i am shocked that this has not been recalled.there are forums online that speak to this issue. Please, please, please investigate.if my wife was in the truck when this happened she would not have the ability to hold the door shut. I am very concerned about this issue.
The electronic tailgate releases (opens) on its own either while the vehicle is in operation or while parked. This caused damage to the tailgate by an opening garage door and risks damage to traffic by the truck bed contents being expelled while underway. This defect has not been reported to a local dealer, manufacturer, police or insurance. There were no warnings, messages or other symptoms that preceeded the tailgate opening. This problem first happened approximately 08/01/2021 and has happened two more times since then during aug 2021.
The bed of the truck is separated from the side wall of the truck , this is around the fender wells, allowing water and vapors into the bed area of the vehicle.
Rear end collision on i-25 in denver, co 80112 9/28/2016 4 pm, sunny and clear weather, traffic moderately heavy "slow and go" in motion appx 25mph, no injuries
For more than 6 months i've been trying to get recall service for safety recall notice 17s33. The local dealer has not had the parts necessary to do the work, and the local dealer's service rep says that ford is not sending them enough parts to comply with the recall.
When cold the vehicle door will not latch or stay closed.seems to work when mild or warm. The door is in perfect original condition - no accidents, etc. While so far i can eventually get the latch to catch it seems the door latch cannot be trusted to close and stay closed safely protect the occupants.
Door catch is missing and miss drilled in cab frame. Ford wants to cut a section of the cab frame out and weld in new section. This truck had 86 miles when discovered. All cab interior needs to be completely removed down to bare metal and all glass and the cab needs to be removed completely from the truck frame to be repaired. How many trucks came off the assembly line and passed inspection like thisi purchased a new truck not a chopped truck. Ted britt ford in fairfax va. Is zero help so far after 3 weeks. Was there a recall?
Problem with 2016 f150s door latches won't latch sometimes when cold allowing door to fly open when driving. Recall was previously performed but apparently didn't fix problem.
Under 15 degrees door latches will not latch and if you get the door to latch and doors are locked will not unlock to be able to open doors creating a safety hazard if emergency occurs
Frozen door latches. Doors froze shut in 2017, after opening, the driver's door appeared to close, but flew open rounding a corner in an intersection. A similar issue occurred with the rear passenger door. Jan 24, 2018: warranty service for a similar concern, doors frozen shut or after opening would not latch closed (stationary and while moving). Tsb 16-0020 completed.feb 2018: intermittent issues with doors failing to fully latch shut in freezing weather. The door would open approximately 1/2" with the lock engaged and door shut. Dec 22, 2018: warranty service: performed customer satisfaction recall 18no3two additional service visits required because the latch mechanism was not operating properly. Prior to the third visit, the driver's door flew open rounding a corner while driving.after third visit in early jan 2019, we experience freezing temperatures (20s) for several days. The two rear doors (crew cab pickup) would not unlock using the key fob; however, the front doors operated normally. The doors remained in that condition (locked and shut) for 2 days before it warmed up enough for the door lock to cycle. After opening rear passenger door and shutting it while stationary, i attempted to open the door while locked. The door partially opened 1/2" with the lock engaged.the vehicle is scheduled for another service visit on feb 13, 2019.
Driver door of 2016 ford f150 will not latch when closing.problem primarily occurs after vehicle has been in use.after opening the door, the door will not latch in a secure position when attempting to close.will occasionally latch when pressing the unlock button after opening.driver can be inside the cab or outside the vehicle and problem occurs either way.i have contacted my local ford dealer and service center and they were not familiar with this issue.operator has not been able to replicate the problem on any of the other doors - just the driver door.vehicle is a supercrew model.problem occurs when operator has truck off, opens the door, gets in vehicle, attempts to shut door (doesn't latch), starts vehicle and re-attempts (still doesn't latch), and will even occur with vehicle shifted into "d" (drive) and re-attempts (still doesn't latch).this owner and operators opinion that this is a safety issue as other operators may not realize that the door has not latched and may be putting vehicle into motion with an open/unlatched door.
While diving onto an interstate on ramp, the back glass shattered. Nothing struck the glass, it just broke.when the window was replaced, it was discovered the rear defroster wiring had burned both on the window and in the truck.the rear defroster overheated the window and caused it to shatter. It nearly started a fire.
Vehicle has been into dealer multiple times for issues with door and tailgate mechanisms freezing and becoming inoperable in temperatures under 32 degrees. Doors will freeze and 'lock' me out of the vehicle -or- the doors will open but not latch shut upon closing. Ford has issued a recall for this widely-known issue, but my vehicle's vin is not included. The dealer has been great at experimenting withvarious part replacements, but they have received limited guidance from ford in order to solve this problem for good.
Driver side door won't latch; using remote, door won't unlock.under freezing conditions the driver side door won't latch upon closing after sitting for an hour or so. Amount of force used to close the door makes no difference.using the remote, the door won't unlock. The knob on the door goes up about halfway and then immediately drops back down. The door will unlock with the key, but you can feel the stress as the lock moves.appears to be water related. Once the interior warms up enough (upwards of 20-30 minutes of idling, depending on outside temps), then the door will latch and the lock will engage/disengage. Passenger door unaffected at this time, but is very rarely used, maybe 30 times in the first seven months of ownership. Wet environment, 100+ inches of rain per year.problem ongoing.
On 3/12/19, this vehicle was in motion on a federal highway with a driver, and (1) passenger in the front seat.earlier in the day, said vehicle was in the dealership for a recall fix.the recall was to fix the driver and passenger door locking mechanisms from opening prematurely.while in motion on the highway after leaving the dealership the passenger side door came open and would not latch any further.during the initial repair process there were customer service issues with dealership staff; after speaking with the dealership again following the incident their response was, "that's what you get."due to incidents at the dealership it is believed the repair was not completed correctly on purpose risking lives of those in the vehicle.
In temperatures below 20 degrees fahrenheit, the door latches (front & rear) will freeze in the unlatched position when the door is opened making it impossible to latch the door closed until thawed out. I've had to drive holding the door closed by hand on 7 different occasions until the door would latch. My vehicle is always parked outside in my driveway as my garage is too small for it. The dealer told me that the door latches were on backorder from ford through april. There is no recall issued as of yet.
Since 2015 ford has had an issue with the door locks not latching in cold weather. I have owned my vehicle for a month and a half and have taken it in for service twice now for the same issue. Moisture gets into the locking mechanism and then freezes. After opening the door there is no way of closing it as latches do not grab again or on the other hand they don't release. Twice now i have been out and about and had doors that would not latch. I had to drive around with my 18 month old son's door held closed with a ratchet strap to be able to get home safely. This is a major safety issue and ford needs to solve this.
Ford has a major recall on 2016 - 2017 f150s faulty door latches that come open while driving and wont open . I had a incident back in winter where my nephew almost fell out .

Dec 2019, i reported to the car dealer that my door latch was frozen and my door would not close while i was trying to go to work (still in driveway). Fred beans of west chester, pa told be there was nothing they could do that i should be able to heat it up. Although this is now oct 2020, i found in my folder while looking for something else mfg recall number 17s33, nhtsa recall # 17v652. I setup up an appt, dropped off my car and they called me this morning 10/5 that they cannot repair because they will not get reimbursed.
The power lift running boards operate while the truck is in motion and when in park the door opens to active this feature the board comes out and stays out but more often it just retracts causing a miss step and falling when exiting the vehicle.
Two occasions (overnight temperatures less than 32f with light rain and freezing fog) - both rear doors (crew cab) were frozen shut and failed to open first thing in the morning. On one occasion, both rear doors operated normally after the engine warmed up and interior temperature rose to 72f. On the second occasion, the driver's side rear door became ajar (not latched at all) about 10 minutes after leaving home and while driving down the road. The door swung open when turning right on a curve in the road.two occasions (overnight temperatures less than 32f with light rain or freezing fog): while entering a military installation, the driver's door power window would not open (frozen shut). I opened the driver's door to show my id to the gate guard and the door failed to latch shut. It occurred about 10 minutes after leaving home with the interior warm (72f). I used a bungee cord stretched between the driver and passenger door handles to hold the door shut while driving several more miles to work. I was able to shut the driver's door after arriving at work and cycling the power door locks and handle several times. Three of the four instances are safety issues since the doors either unlatched or failed to latch shut while driving. All doors operate normally when temperatures are above 32f. It is uncommon for temperatures to drop below 32f in my area so the problem cannot be easily reproduced.

I stopped at a gas station, got out, got gas, when i got back in and tried to close the drivers door it would not latch. I tried to close it over and over and still would not latch. Had to drive to work holding door closed with left hand. Temperature outside was about 20 degrees. Vehicle had been in a garage so water was not a factor.
Ford f-150 door latch recall - 17s33 / nhtsa campaign number: 17v652experienced problems of doors not latching during cold weather. (both front and back doors were affected). Received recall notice in october 2017, in january 2018 my local dealer had the updated parts from ford and performed the recall repair.the repair did not fix anything. Still experience doors not latching during cold weather. Generally vehicle is stationary in the driveway as i attempt and get it to latch. Often making me late. However, once while in motion the drivers door flew open while driving to work after i believed it to be closed and latched.this is incredibly dangerous. Small children ride in this vehicle.ford has not offered any repair options to date.
2016 ford f-150 super crew has ongoing issues with both the door latches not re latching or releasing and the door locks not locking or unlocking when in freezing conditions (4 doors and all 4 have different variations of this problem). All applicable recalls and updated recalls from ford have been performed by the dealership yet the problem continues.
Door locks frozen - can't secure driver's door while driving...it's 24 degrees this morning. Dry, no rain. I hit the fob to open the driver's door. It opens. I hop in the truck. I start the motor. The rectangular warning screen appears. "driver's door ajar", or something like that.i attempt to close the door again. It will not secure. I checked to make sure nothing is caught in the jam. Looks good. Door will not secure. So, i had to drive the truck with my right hand across my lap to hold the door closed. Once at my destination, i hopped out and attempted to close the door. It just bounces and will not secure.well, i hit the fob to lock it and low and behold, it locks.the truck is now locked and secure, but it won't unlock. I can't get in it. I guess it is now frozen in the locked position. I'm stranded.
Drivers side front door will not latch when door is closed.also have the same issue with passengers side rear door.even after shutting door hard it will not latch.this only happens when ambient temperature is below freezing.
Door locks not latching in cold weather.doors can be opened, but will not latch closed when temperatures are below freezing.worried that even when latched they may open while driving
2016 f150 crew cab lariat, drivers side door latch failed to unlatch with fob or with number pad from the outside. Was only able to unlock door from the inside. This is not the first time this has happened. It is intermittent and depends on the temperature and seems to happen if moisture is present. Approximately 4800 miles on f150. This latch problem appears to be quite common with other new f150's. Ford needs to issue a recall to correct this problem.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. When the contact lifted the aluminum covering on the bed of the vehicle, he noticed a large hole.

The failure mileage was 900.
I purchased a used 2016 ford f-150 xlt crew cab, 4x4, 2.7l engine on 01/29/2021. My driver's side door won't close/ latch properly, making the vehicle unsafe to drive. I have read the ford forums, and it seems as though ford f-150's have this as a common issue in cold weather climates. There have been numerous recalls for this safety issue, but it does not appear by my vin # that there is an active open recall. I will check with ford to see what they will do to remedy the issue.
Air leaking noises and high pitch whistles around doors when moving over 40 mph. Ford says it's normal and i should get used to it.
During cold weather the vehicle doors will either not open or will not shut once opened until the interior of the truck warms up. I have had my truck in previously for a recall on this exact problem. This morning my driver's side door would not latch shut after i opened the door. I had to pull the door shut and finally got the door locks to hold the door so i could drive to work. Once the vehicle interior warmed i was able to properly shut my door. I called my ford dealer today and they said it would not be covered under warranty. This is a huge safety problem that hord has known about for years and still haven't fixed the problem.
The right passenger door will not shut, also the left passenger door will not open. I have contacted the dealer from where i purchased the vehicle and was told there is a back order on parts with no known time frame when they will receive the parts. Recall number is 17s33/ nhtsa recall 17v-652. The vehicle is not safe to operate due to this condition.
Hood was released while driving down the freeway (it didn't open all the way due to the safety catch under the hood).this is about the 6th time this has happened iover the last 2 years but first time it has happened while driving on the freeway.we stopped using the emergency brake about 3 months ago because we thought maybe our foot was accidentally hitting the hood release lever on the inside panel.therefore, this most recent time it happened, we didn't have a foot anywhere near the hood release lever the entire trip.had it in the dealership 2 years ago when it first happened and they apparently didn't fix it or didn't know what was wrong.
Doors become inoperable at cold temperatures.latching mechanism will not disengage or engage.provides opportunities for individuals to become locked out or inside the vehicle.
Purchased truck new, at around 5000 miles the drivers door would not close, after repeatedly slaming the door the latch finally latched, it happend several times since. I took it to the dealer they said i needed new latches in both doors. Thay said it is a issue on only the upper levels. After waiting a week i took the truck in than they told me some of the parts are on back order and don't know when they will receive them. I left the truck until they get it fixed. Seems like a major safty issue if you have to drive with the door open.
When i left for work today, i went to shut my driver's side front door and it would not latch.i had to slam the door 4 or 5 times in order to get it to finally latch.the outside temperature was below 20deg f.this occurred last winter and ford repaired the condition at that time.i also received a recall notice for this condition, but replacement parts are not available yet.last time this occurred the door opened while i was driving which is not safe.
Seat headrest protrudes too much out of the seat and it pushes forward head of some drivers. The only adjustments available (slide up and down, tilt top forward) do nothing to alleviate the issue. The lack of ability to "scoot" the entire headrest backwards causes back and neck pain while driving for as little as 10 minutes. One solution people are resorting to is to re-insert the headrest backwards, but the tilting mechanism prevent the head from being stopped and sent backwards in the event of an accident. Another solution is to recline the seat back so much that your back is no longer supported. Again a safety issue.when hitting small imperfection on the road, even in dry weather, the vehicle feels as if it's about to fishtail. Some people have mention the suspension is too slow to compensate for bumps and thus the tire, for a small amount of time, does lose contact with the road.all of this complaints can be found in the f-105 forums: http://www.f150forum.com/f118/
On cold says the door latches do not operate properly. The handle and latch may not operate at all, or the door will half unlatch, leaving the door semi open but unable to completely unlatch.
Passenger side door won't lock shut on 2016 f150 supercrew.the latch doesn't seem to engage and lock.the door shuts but bounces back open.it started in very cold temps, maybe temp is to blame?
The rear tailgate opened up twice, once while driving down the highway and the second time pulling into a parking lot.this was during the winter time.i sprayed some wd40 on the rear latches thinking that would help but did not.i realized the left side latch was not engaging all the way.i could pull on the top left side tailgate and it was loose.so i would have to slam the tailgate until it engaged.i took my truck into the dealer to look at, along with two other recall issues.on my invoice they stated they 'adjusted tail gate strikers and retest operation', in time i'll see if this worked or not.wondering if anyone else was having this same issue?
The contact owns a 2016 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 dealer (kisselback ford, 1118 13th st, st cloud, fl) was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and was not able to confirm when the parts were to become available. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
Doors wont latch when temperatureis under 20 degrees.
My doors fail to re-latch after opening during cold weather. My doors have opened while driving several times when the door is closed and locked without anyone touching the door latch.
My 2016 ford f150 supercrew is currently under a ford recall for the rear doors freezing and not latching back closed. It has been to the dealer several times and the ford official repairs were done and the issue is still not resolved. My doors are currently ratchet strapped closed and ford will not give me a vehicle and take the truck back to do the repairs (again for the 3rd time). The issue was under a nhtsa recall and their actions have still not resolved the issue. The advisor at the dealer said there is now a new "latest and greatest" repair for the issue but they have had ~40% of the vehicles return after that as well.
F150 frozen door latches.during weather temperatures below 30 degrees f, the doors unlock and open butdo not latch when you try to close the door. This happens while the truck is stationary, and happens intermittently.when it happens, i sometimes i had to drive to work while holding the driver's door closed with 1 hand and steering with the other. Other times pushing down on the lock rod and closing the door will hold it closed. After a 25 minute drive, the latches thaw out and work. This has happened on all 4 doors of the truck. I've had the truck back to the dealer 4 times during the past 2 winters while they attempted to repair the issue.i had the recall (tsb 16-0155) done and the problem came back 3 days later. When i called to report that this didn't solve the issue, i was instructed to call ford and open a case number. I opened case number "cas-(xxxxx)" but i didn't get any follow up from ford. I was instructed to call my service department who told me they don't have a fix. I had the latest recall (18n03) done on november 28, 2018 and the problem came back on december 19, 2018. I reported this to the service department and was told that they will contact ford and get back to me. I've lost my confidence in ford regarding this issue.'parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Vehicle exhaust leaks into cabin. Ford says not covered under warranty. Paint falling off fenders. Ford says not covered under warranty. Back up camera worked until ford dealer worked on it, has not worked since then and dealer (house ford address: 3538 hwy 61 w, red wing, mn 55066) wont or can't fix it.
Driver and passenger doors often will not latch shut in cold temperatures.vehicle stationary, to drive in this condition i would need to hold door closed by hand.
On the newer ford f150's the master lock sits outside of the door frame. Criminals can break this lock and grain access to the vehicle in less than 30 seconds. I have had my truck broken into 3 times now due to this security issue. Ford refuses to acknowledge the issue they engineered into the f150. I do not feel safe in my truck and will imedietly be looking for a replacement that is not a ford.
Driver door and passenger door will not shut when it has been left in freezing temperatures. On cold mornings when i open the driver sode door to start the truck and try to close the door, it won't latch
Electric tailgate drops open without being triggered and will not close and stay closed after repeated attempts.finally will remain closed but may repeat process.started in dec 2017 and has continued until the present day.returned it to a ford dealer and they found nothing.now tailgate will not open when the button on the tailgate is pushed.you can open tailgate with remote fob only.tailgate opening usually happens when parked and stationary but has happened once when i was transporting my travel trailer on the highway.last happened in february 2019.
There was a recall on door they fixed it but it did not work door still shacks and has come open while driving 2 times
The panoramic sun roof will not close and is stuck in the partially opened position. The glass has a partial crack in it and i am concerned that it will shatter injuring any passengers.the vehicle only has 21000 miles.i believe this to be a design defect. I contacted ford customer service and they refused to take any corrective action on this problem. One month earlier the roof would not close andi brought the vehicle to the dealership and they pressed on the glass and finally the glass panel returned into the track and closed.
Door latch won't close in the cold, stuck open.
Door locks freeze and won't catch. Usually follows a period of snow, rain or a car wash and then freezing temperatures. All four doors on my f150 have experienced this and one time the door came unlatched while i was driving.
When the outside temperature dropped the vehicle locks and door latches stopped working. The doors will not latch, which prevents me from securely closing them. This is effecting all of the doors.temperature is 32 and below.
Door locks freezing in cold temperatures, unable to enter vehicle, also doors wont latch closed in freezing temperatures, have to hold door closed while driving.
Ford issued a recall for freezing door latches, and is unable to fix my truck due to "no parts available". Door latches freeze in inclement weather causing doors to not securely shut. Ford response to me when i contacted customer support was i was notified of the recall, no it is up to me to avoid causing any damage since i now know about the issue. I feel this answer is completely wrong. Ford should have parts readily available to fix the issue that may injure someone.
Rear door latches will not open when it's very cold outside. Have had two recall services to fix the problem, but it persists.
While putting my son in the back passenger's side of my truck, when i went to close the passsenger's side rear door it would not latch.i attempted multiple times to close the door and it would not latch.i had to use the front door to keep it closed so i could bring him to school.this issue was already repaired once last winter and it is still occurring.this happens every time it gets cold outside.
Vehicle doors will not latch in freezing weather.
When temperatures are at freezing, door will not close.windshield wiper fluid also freezes even though rated for -40 degrees.repair was made by ford to door latch but problem continues.typically, car has been parked in cold weather.see job #2 on attached documentation for latest repair attempt.many complaints from customers on forums.this is a major safety issue!!!!
Door does not latch and opens while driving.recall 17s33.dealer keeps getting incorrect replacement parts from ford -- the same parts that were defective.repeated calls to ford customer service get a case number cas 14003124 and comment that they will refer it to the dealer (who is frustrated and states that the problem should be taken up with ford customer service.the dealer also claims that they are having the same problem with numerous other cars having the same issue.
Vehicle was stationary.just started the vehicle and the rear window defroster turned on by itself.moments later the rear window shattered.
The driver door latch on my truck when cold willfreeze and not open/unlock until the truck has been warmed up for an extended period of time ranging up to 40 minutes. I have been locked out of my vehicle at a gas station, retuarant, my house and have even been locked in my truck where i had to wait 10 minutes for it to thaw and allow me to exit the vehicle. This is a huge safety issue if i cant exit my vehicle if involved in an accident or being stranded outside of my vehicle in cold temps. This has happened to me about 12 times now and the first time it did it it was only 29 degrees out. The colder it is the longer it needs to thaw.this is a video i made and posted it online. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3vtrrkfxu8.
Door locks freeze open and will not latch. The vehicle has be driven with the doors unlatched. Ford's tsb and now recall (for the driver door only) has been performed on all four doors last year. The vehicle has been to the dealer twice for it this year and several times last year. This is the second complaint.
Every time the temperature dips below 20 degrees the driver's side door will not latch nor lock. The dealership has attempted to fix it, in fact claims to have fixed it, but the issue remains. In talking to other owners of the same vehicle they also have the same issue. I consider this to be a serious safety issue, apparently ford doesn't.
Had a fire start in the rear seat area while the truck was warming up in the remote start mode .the remote start was factory installed by ford . The truck was declared a total loss
Passenger side rear door would not close in cold weather. Had to hold door shut and use the key fob to try and lock the door. After several attempts it finally locked. Couple days later. None of the doors would open. Temp around 18 degrees. Tried to unlock with key fob, nothing. Locks would not budge, doors wouldn't open. Next day left rear passenger door would not latch shut. Had to drive to work with a bungee cord holding the door shut. Next day doors would not open again, frozen shut 19-20 degrees out. Has happened on numerous occasions. Once it warms up slightly everything works fine. Took it to the dealer, hey ordered parts, maybe the end of february. I had to put my 8 year old daughter in the front seat because i could not get the rear doors to latch shut.
2016 ford f150 with 23,400 miles & 23 months in service. The back glass (rear window) shattered while driving home from work. The ambient temperature was approximately 35 degrees f and i had used the remote start feature which turns on the rear window defroster. I started driving and had just pulled out of the parking lot when i heard the sound of the glass cracking. I pulled over and took pictures. I called my dealership and took vehicle in for inspection. They took photos and submitted to ford motor company for warranty consideration. It was rejected. It appears that the either the rear window or the rear defroster is defective. I have seen similar complaints online and believe that this issue needs to be resolved. This should not be happening and if it does, it needs to becovered by warranty. Thank you.
Purchased used 2016 f-150 in oct 2017.shortly after purchase tailgate would randomly open while vehicle was in motion.power tailgate would also open when key fob was used to lock vehicle.tail lights would also illuminate brightly as if brakes were applied when they were not when vehicle was in motion.other times tail lights would flicker on and off when vehicle was in motion.when computer was scanned no trouble codes were found.eventually after several trips to bmw dealership in spokane wa where vehicle was purchased vehicle was taken to wendle ford in spokane wa.at wendle ford technicians found extremely frayed wiring harness in area at rear of truck where bed and frame meet.wendle tech's said that they had never seen this type of damage / defect before, and when checking with ford corporate there were no service bulletins reference this type of problem. This description of events was prompted after reading a news report of ford super duty trucks exhibiting tail gate openings while vehicle in motion.all service notes and documentation can be obtained through wendle ford, spokane wa
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150 super cab. While driving 45 mph, the front driver side door opened without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the fractured pawl springs needed to be replaced. The parts were on back order. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 10,000.
Freezing door latches causing the door not to stay shut in cold temperatures or open the door can fly open because you think that it is shut while you're driving down the road causing damage to the door losing personal belongings and if a occupant is not seatbelted flying out of the vehicle the doors on these trucks will not latch when you shut the door they bounce back open and then sometimes you think their latched and they're not then taking a turn and the door swings open ford is aware of this problem they have put out tsb's and fsa in order to try to repair it with no success i personally have had my truck in the shop for this issue 5 to 6 times with no fix this is very dangerous and scares my kids that are inside the back of my truck when their door flying open or when they have to hold it shut while we're driving down the road to school
Tailgate disconnected from hinges on our 2016 f150. Traveltravelling in a 30mph zone with tailgate open lying down to transport a door. Truck passing over a shallow break in pavement at which time we heard a loud thump. Immediate inspection discovered tailgate disengaged from hinges landing on one hinge and bumper. Safety cables held bumper from falling off completely. Reviewed with service at ford dealership where purchased. Prior to revealing what happened the agent acknowledged he has heard of this issue on another ford truck locally. In that incident the gate was destroyed from landing in road. Once i revealed our incident he indicated that it is not a warranty matter even though our vehicle is less than 3 years old at just 12,000 miles. His assistant indicated there is a part available to prevent the gate from bouncing and sliding out. Suggested that having a part available to prevent what just happened to our truck is an admission of a faulty design. The agent insisted the hinge assembly is not a faulty design as the gates are not suppose to be lying down when travelling. At that point i chuckled and left. Of course telling him i would not be back for a 3rd new truck. This issue has the potential if it hasn't already happened to cause serious injury or death to passengers in vehicles travelling behind a ford truck that experiences a tailgate hinge malfunction.
In below freezing conditions the passenger door of my vehicle will not latch closed.in order to get my vehicle to a place where it can be parked i must have a passenger hold the door closed or tie a rope to the door handle and hold it myself while driving.
Door locks froze in cold weather, not allowing the driver or rear doors to latch. Unable to drive car without holding door shut, not safe, especially with children in back seat. Occurred after sitting in parking lot for 20 mins in 20 degree f temperature, dry day, no water/wash
1/30/17 front doors not latching, recall completed.11/19/18 doors again not latching including the rear doors now, recall completed1/9/19 door aging not latching. Enroute to drop off vehicle at dealership the door flew open while taking a curve in the roadway. Luckily nobody was in passenger seat such as my children or dog. Recall completed and told all problems fixed.1/19/19 out of town with vehicle and was unable to get the door to shut for over 2 hours. Unable to make the 1 hour drive home until door would latch.1/21/19 took vehicle to dealership to again, for the 4th time, have the doors looked at again. I have no sense of safety driving my vehicle as i fear i won't be able to shut door or the door will fly open. Very sad after taking vehicle in 4 times and each timetold the problem is fixed. Is it really fixed??
Doors do no open, freeze shut in cold weather or doors will not latch/lock if they open at all. This is a known issue with ford and had been unsuccessfully addressed in technical service bulletins (tsbs)issued by ford. There needs to be a permanent solution.also the windshield washer sprayer freezes regularly. This is also a know issue that has not been resolved. It is dangerous to operate a vehicle when the windshield cannot be cleared of road spray, obscuring vision,
2 days after my vehicle was repaired under safety recall 17s33 for the door latches freezing, they again froze and the door would not open.upon finally getting it to open from the inside of the vehicle, the door would then not close.i have been informed by the dealership and also the technical assistance line that there is no repair for this condition and that i have to continue dealing with the issue until they find a fix.this is unacceptable and unsafe!
The locks on my truck froze in winter and as my wife was goin down interstate the doorcame open and i've went to the dealership where i got it nd they refuse ta fix my recalls and told me it would be 4 days without a vehicle and i'm active military and can not go without a vehicle they offered no car ta me and we're rude and not willing ta show me which of the 10 recalls on my truck if any had been fixed .i just bought this truck in 2019 and am having nuthin but issues and i believe it ta be a lemon and the dealer is of no help.
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.twice i have had the doors pop open while driving.
During freezing conditions, rear door will not latch shut.parked driveway.
Had door latch freezing tsb and recall both performed by dealer. On feb 8, 2019, drivers door once again would not latch shut due to freezing of the latch. After letting truck idle with full heat on for a while, it appeared to have thawed enough to latch. It flew open on the first turn i made. Somebody is going to get killed if this problem isn't fixed.
I have contacted gus johnson ford numerous times to have my recalls fixed they always tell me they are ordering the parts. This started over a year ago in the winter with my door unabkle to close. I need my recall fixed asap
Ongoing issue with door latches not operating when temperatures are below freezing. The door will not latch unless the door is locked.it seems it then is unable to be unlocked remotely or by power locks. Only way is to manually open the door from inside the cab. I have a safety concern ofn this issue as the door not latching may open while in motion.
2016 f150 crew cab door handles freeze and either, do not open, will not latch properly, or not close at all. I have seen discussions online concerning recalls for this exact issue, year, make and model,but when i check the vin number it says there are no recalls. This is an extreme safety issue. It has come open while driving, and not opened on other occasions. This happens when the temperatures are around or below freezing.
My vehicle was repaired under customer satisfaction program 18n03 for the door latch freezing overnight and being unable to close the door after opening it in the morning until it warmed up.this was originally repaired under the program 18n03 in march 2019.in february 2020 the same door latch had to be replaced completely as the door would not lock or unlock unless manually operated from the inside.given the short time frame between the two repairs the original freezing and being unable to latch must have damaged the door latch causing it to fail less than a year later.the dealer and the ford customer satisfaction agent both refused to repair the latch the second time under the program costing me $583 out of pocket.
The passenger side rear door will fail to latch properly or will pop open while driving. This has happened 3 times since i purchased the truck in january 2018.
I went out to my truck this am to go to work at 6am - 22 degrees.i had started my truck remotely a couple of minutes prior.i opened the driver door and it would not latch closed when i tried to close the door.i went to passenger side, it opened but would not latch.i turned the engine off, exited truck, door still would not latch shut.i left it sit for a bit.came back an hour later and doors still would not latch shut.i then closed the doors, unlocked the locks with remote, locked the doors, doors were now latched shut but now cannot unlock doors with remote.
During low temperatures the door latch does not engage, leaving the door free to swing.

Door locks freezing in cold (<32%) weather. This is mostly a major inconvenience, but could, given the right circumstances, be a safety issue where immediate ingress/egress is required.
Drivers side door does not latch all the time when closed. Car was parked in the garage with temps in the high 40's and had not been in any wet weather or washed in 4 days. Shut it 5 times and it would just bounce back opened. This has happened on and off since we owned the truck(1-2019). Happens more often in cooler weather.have talked to the ford dealer since 1-2019 and they said there was no recall and to use penetrating oil on the latch. Which has not helped.
Drivers door would not latch door closed during 15 degree weather today.door unlocked via keyless entry and opened ok - but when closed it would not latch shut.last winter vehicle drivers door would not unlock, tsb 16-0155 applied.ford states recall 17s33 does not apply to my vehicle since tsb 16-0155 was completed, however problem still exists.
When temperature goes below freezing, 32f door will not latch and stay shut. Happens consistently in sub 32f temperatures.
I am parked in my driveway. On mornings following a precipitation event where the temperature drops below freezing the locking mechanism freezes making the doors inoperable. If i am able to get the vehicle to open by using the front doors i cannot latch the doors closed. This has occurred on multiple mornings.
One cold morning the drivers door would not shut and latch. I was forced to drive 30 miles to work on the highway with the door flopping open every time i slowed down. This is a major safety hazard especially if children are involved. I can't believe an auto manufacture can sell a vehicle where the doors will not stay closed. Next time it happens i will take a video of the door not closing.
Doors freeze repeatedly in cold weather and will either not open or will not latch.the tsb was completed prior to the recall and did not correct the problem.vehicle was in for service on 7/18/2018 and was told that the tsb was performed previously and no additional action would be taken.i have video that i wanted the service advisor and was told not to bother.the video shows evidence of doors failing to latch on 4/20/2018 with temperature of 32 degrees. Service advisor refused to look at the video.
This vehicle as described by the vehicle identification number has a drivers door latch problem, door will not close properly, will open by itself when making a right turn when the outside temp is below freezing. This vehicle is brand new sitting on the dealers lot, there is at least 20 other new vehicles on the lot doing the same thing. This issue should be investigated before someone gets killed. I have been selling fords for thirty plus years, one thing i have learned, the manufacturer will do nothing about it until someone gets hurt.
When its cold only they will not shut the door will bounce back. Dealer try to duplicate problem in a warm garage and pu no problem found on work order. I have been to the dealer twice andno help.
The top track of the rear window that holds the smaller sliding window in place became completely detached from the back wall of the cabin. The small window was being held in place by the lower track only. This caused the top track and the sliding window to lean into the cabin away from the main rear window. It created an air gap between the main window and the small window. The vehicle was not in motion. The vehicle was not damaged in any other way. It appears that the adhesive holding the track in place simply failed over time. In my opinion this created a safety issue. If the truck had been rear-ended, i think it is possible that the top track and window could have become completely detached and caused injuries to passengers in the truck.
Door latches 'freeze' and will not engage in cold weather (vehicle is parked outside and in cold weather this is frequent problem).this problem had previous recall / repair but fix is not working.rear window defroster does not work in one section of 3 part window (has onepart of three section - section on drivers side).vehicle has 30,000 miles.window sections that do work get hot
My ford was taken to the fox ford in waynesburg, pa to fix the 2 recalls on 12/30/2019. One of the recalls were regarding the door not opening or closing. They said they repaired both recalls. And one week later on 01/06/2020 the drivers door could not get into had to crawl over the passenger side in order to start the truck. Then once the door was pushed open from the inside the door would not close. The truck sat for approximately 15 minutes to warm up and the door would not latch close unless you used the lock.called the fox ford back and told them and they rescheduled my truck back in on 01/13/20.they called me and told me that they took a look at the door again and said that they could not see anything else they could do except put more lube on/in it . And they could not do anything else for me if it happens again with out charging me or having another recall. Therefore i am notifying you.
Driver side door fails to latch when closed, or unlatch when opened using the electric locks in cold weather (below 30 degrees f).if unlocked, the door fails to latch and bounces back when closed.if locked, the door fails to unlatch and cannot be opened.these occur even though the electric locks sound like they're functioning normally.vehicle is stationary and cold.this problem does not seem to reoccur after the cabin warms up.it has happened on approximately four separate occasions to date, including the most recent which was 24 hours after the dealer service technician lubricated the latches.
Door latches being stuck open or close during cold climate (32 degrees or below) when door latch is frozen, outside handle cannot open the door. Once opened, door cannot be closed and latched due to frozen mechanism. Ford of north america sent out a recall advisory with not effective remedy or fix. No new or updated parts.

After a safety recall repair concerning the door latches not securing . The passenger door opened when i took a left turn.i took it back to the dealer that did the repair and the supervisor stated that the mechanic was dismissed after improper repairs were conducted.every once in a while the door latch does not secure causing the door latch to stay open.additionally the back left door,under the same recall behaves the same way.it does not engage the door latch mechanism. I brought this to the attention of the repair facility and i was assured that there is nothing wrong with my doors securing to the latch.yet,there seems to be a problem securing my door. There is no warning from the trucks system that a door is open or unsecured.my 72 year old mother was in the passenger seat when the door opened.now she won't get into my vehicle for fear of her life.my back left passenger door swung open as i was backing out of my driveway. The dashboard did not indicate the door was open.the problem only first appeared after the safety recall repair was conducted. I have no confidence in my does being secured. The doors opening has happened several times.since the repair sep 2018. The doors are not dependable and i must sell this truck in order to get my family out of any harm

The vin was invalid.
Driving at legal limit speeds, when hitting imperfections in the roads, front end/suspension hops violently (almost feeling like it's taking the wheel away from you) leading to difficulty in reacting and correcting safely in order to right vehicle in lane. This has happened repeatedly in a multitude of driving situations. Going straight, turning, driving straight down the highway at 75mph and down to 45mph. Never had this problem with any vehicle i've owned before, including ford's equipped almost identically.
I went to the ford dealership & they're the ones who told me about the recall on the vehicle after i had purchased it. They made up excuses as to why they couldn't fix the problem, according to them they didn't have parts to resolve the recall issue & to come back another day. Not to worry that my vehicle is fine. I've noticed my truck is malfunctioning when i try to slow down & starts shaking making it hard to break on time. I now put in the vin number to their website so i can schedule a service & the website tells me there's not a recall on my vehicle. I uploaded a image of what it says so there's evidence of their negligence. Not only did they sell me a truck with mechanical issues guaranteeing me that the truck was in phenomenal conditions but now they're also refusing to fix it.
I had just completed washing my truck in an automatic car wash and when slowly exiting the car wash bay, the truck unexpectedly accelerated.i lost control of the vehicle.the vehicle went up an embankment, went airborne, and i crossed four lanes of traffic before i could get the vehicle stopped.
Seat headrest protrudes too much out of the seat and it pushes forward head of some drivers. The only adjustments available (slide up and down, tilt top forward) do nothing to alleviate the issue. The lack of ability to "scoot" the entire headrest backwards causes back and neck pain while driving for as little as 10 minutes. One solution people are resorting to is to re-insert the headrest backwards, but the tilting mechanism prevent the head from being stopped and sent backwards in the event of an accident. Another solution is to recline the seat back so much that your back is no longer supported. Again a safety issue.when hitting small imperfection on the road, even in dry weather, the vehicle feels as if it's about to fishtail. Some people have mention the suspension is too slow to compensate for bumps and thus the tire, for a small amount of time, does lose contact with the road.all of this complaints can be found in the f-105 forums: http://www.f150forum.com/f118/
The contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While driving approximately 40-60 mph, the floor of the vehicle and the steering wheel vibrated. The failure occurred while the vehicle was in motion and idling. The failure began the day after the vehicle was newly purchased. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the drive shaft was vibrating. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle's suspension needed to be broken in at a minimum of 500 to 1,000 miles. The vehicle was not diagnosed with a failure nor repaired. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not experiencing any failures. The approximate failure mileage was 55. Updated 07/12/16*ljthe consumer stated ford was buying the vehicle back, because they were unable to fix the problem, despite replacing several components. Updated 07/19/16.
The vehicle hops very badly over rough surfaces and the tail end swings out. Ford says this is normal but the vehicle almost loses control over surfaces that are handled by other vehicles including other f-150s. Ford claims this is a normal characteristic of the vehicle. Currently the vehicle's rear sits higher on one side than the other by about 1.1 inches. This has been brought to ford's attention and they have said that it's normal and due to the gas tank being full despite it residing on the side that sits higher. Neither of these issues have been resolved but feel that they are related.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving at any speed, the vehicle made noises from the engine and transmission areas. The contact stated that the vehicle consumed too much fuel and the air conditioning blew hot air. Also, the oil low pressure warning indicator illuminated and flashed off and on. The contact also stated that the brakes squeaked and the front passenger side tire deflated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (koons ford in sterling, va) for diagnostic testing. The dealer found nothing wrong with the vehicle; however, the failures recurred several times. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the same dealer several times and, during one of the visits, the engine was replaced without the contact's consent. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and did not assist. The vehicle was not completely repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 40.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated that the front driver's side wheel bearing was prematurely worn, made a grinding noise, and caused the brake and accelerator pedals to vibrate when driving 30 mph. The contact took the vehicle to rochester ford (4900 us-52 rochester, mn55901, (507)-288-7564) where the driver's side wheel bearing was replaced six times. The failure was not corrected. The contact also stated that only the ford f-150's equipped with the four wheel drive 4a automatic system were experiencing the failure. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 52,000.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving 20 mph, the contact heard a loud abnormal rattling noise emerging from the rear of the vehicle. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact that the leaf springs were detached and caused the noise. An unknown local dealer was notified of the failure, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and informed the contact that the vehicle was not covered under a recall or warranty. The contact was referred to nhtsa. The failure mileage was 42,000.
On 3/21/16 i purchased a 2016 ford f150.on the way home from the dealership my feet and legs started itching and i broke out in a rash and my lips, face and tongue went numb.later on that night my hands and feet burned all night long.each time i've drove it since the same thing happened, each time recovery takes longer.it happens inside the cab and also when i'm working under the hood.my wife is driving the vehicle right now without a reaction however i'm concerned for her health.
Back of camera screen failed. When putting truck in reverse the screen is blank. This same screen also displays the radio, and it is also blank. Happens when stationary or moving.at first the screen would go out, and after you drove the car and turned it off it would work again. Then it started to get fuzzy, and finally it went completely out.unsafe if backing up unless you are aware that the back up camera screen is not working.i am the original owner and brought it to the attention of the dealer when it first happen when under warranty but because it was not failing they stated they would not be able to diagnose the problem, unfortunately for me it failed out of warrantyand i paid to have this fix but i feel others may be having similar problems. If there is an issue perhaps this can be adverted forthe future for other people .
Sunroof tracks are plastic and crumble and break causing the sunroof to be stuck open or inoperable. Appears to be a common problem with all f150's based on internet research.
While driving the interior instrument lights suddenly come on park brake, 4x4, air bag, traction,abs, advance trac, and steering assist. During this process the brakes engage & then you can hear thescrubbing sound of the brakes.this has happened multiple times. I've returned it to the dealer for service 3 times, after a month of diagnostic testing & road testing the steering system failed on the serviceman while driving it. They informed me that they want to return the vehicle to me without making any repairs because it has not re initiated this process in the last 3 days. This is a safety hazard for me and any other vehicle on the road. Ford has informed me that if the steering goes out while driving call roadside to bring it back. Total disregard for my safety and or anyone else. This event occurs while driving, it also shows these readings upon starting the vehicle. This has happened under 30,000 miles and over that threshold. It has happened on multiple occasions.
Chrome grill and front bumper on 2.7l model defective.discolored in a random pattern like a liquid was splashed on them.replacements had the same problem.i've been waiting months to have these parts replaced.
If truck is not driven in a few weeks the gas feed sticks in reverse, i have not had it stick in forward. Only in reverse, my wife had a accident with this truck.i've had it stick on me but i'm looking for it.ford and the insurance companies say that there is nothing wrong.it has occurred several times with me and i don't let my wife drive the truck.
On january 22 2018 at approximately 11:00 p.m., i started my truck with the remote start, which activates the rear window defroster, as needed. On my 20 mile ride home from work, mostly freeway driving, i heard crackling noises, and i was watching in the rear view mirror, my entire rear window shattering, except for the center power sliding piece. When i got home, pieces of glass fell inside the cab and bed when i closed the door. Ford is aware of this issue, but they refuse to repair it. In the meantime, i am forced to pay $500 deductible for my insurance to repair it, even though i had purchased the extended warranty when i bought it brand new. It has approximately 15,000 miles on it now. Researching this problem, i believe it is a defect in the glass, causing it to shatter when the defroster warms up the glass.
Door locks may not function in sub freezing weather meaning your doors may not lock or you may be trapped inside as they will not unlock
Electric tailgate opening going down the road. It was fixed after your recall. It is now opening againalso pushing theelectronic button doesnot open the lock when truck is not moving.
Nhtsa recall number: 17v652 recall date: october 16, 2017manufacturer recall number: 17s33i purchased this vehicle from freeway ford a ford company dealership in november and was told there were no open recalls on my truck. I get in the truck today to drive and my door will not latch and it is 15 degrees outside and i now have no ability to drive my vehicle.
All steering wheel controls/buttons became unresponsive.
Driving down the road we smelled smoke and my back sliding window shattered and blew out.took it to the dealership and they wouldn't give a complete estimate. Called ford corp and of course they are dragging their feet. The rear defrost wasn't even activated at the time that it shorted out.ihave researched the problem and it has been a major issue with fords for years.
Vehicle lost acceleration on interstate highway multiple times and caused dangerous maneuvers to avoid collision. Ford has acknowledged issue via consumer satisfaction 16b32 but i was never mailed any notification. This must be a recall. This is the most dangerous event i have experienced driving.
My rear seat door lock pull buttons on both sides were not screwed into the mechanism.this would not allow the passenger to exit the vehicle by overriding the electric door locks.this could be a serious problem in an emergency.i fixed it by screwing the plastic post into the threaded mechanism.
The wrench light first came on around 42,000 miles, but would shut off when the vehicle would be turned off. It came on a second and third time around the 50,000 and 51,750 miles. Sometimes it would come back on when driving again and sometimes not. Then the engine light came on at about 52,000 miles. When this came on, it would stay on. The truck would seem to lose a lot of power and the rpm's would begin revving higher while driving. This would be driving on all road conditions, highway or city, up and down hills. We had the truck in to check and the code it provided was 'dtc s-p0741 torque convertor clutch solenoid circuit performance stuck off. Will have to replace tcc and if condition still exists, replace the main valve body.' the first ford dealer (while on vacation) made the repair, but this did not repair the truck. (the wrench light came back on again 131 miles after the repair and the engine light came back on again 40 miles later of the wrench light warning.) took the truck back to the ford dealer we purchased the truck at and they are still trying to determine the cause to the issue. The first time the wrench light came on, was under normal driving conditions and not towing a camper. All the remaining times the wrench and engine light came on was while towing a camper.(not sure if this is possible cause of the issue or not, but feel it is worth noting.) according to the owner's manual, the auto start/stop feature is to automatically disable when a camper is hooked up to the truck. But this never seemed to automatically disable when we were hooked up to the truck.another issue is when starting the truck up from a cold start it would make a rattling noise. This only happens from cold starts. If the truck had been runner awhile, shut off and then restarted, it did not make the noise. Ford is still trying to determine what could be causing this.
Extreme wind noise coming from driver's side door
Unknowngas mileage has plummeted from 19mpg highway/city down to 12.5mpg highway/cityhard starting is random so very hard to catch for auto mechanics,new spark plugs, no check engine lights, multiple mechanics both dealership and 3rd party cannot find anything wrong with the truckfuel pump tested and is fine, o2 sensor either working properly or not telling the computer something is wronggas mileage suddenly plummeted with no reason, nothing is telling the computer anything is wrong and nobody can find out why my gas mileage has plummeted so drastically with no signs of bad or faulty parts
Plastic components in the vista sunroof break/bind causing sunroof to stay open or closed, causes the sunroof not to seal properly. From searching online seems like this is a common problem that was never recalled.
Rear window breaking with out being impacted by anything.i was traveling and the rear window shattered.i pulled over and inspected the window and saw nothing that looked like it had been impacted.when i touched the glass it completely fell apart. There was no traffic where i was traveling.
Horn not working.i purchased a brand new 2016 ford f-150 in 2016. I am the first and only owner and i noticed 2 days ago my horn all of a sudden stopped working when i press on the horn but it will sound when i hit my alarm button on my key fob. The vehicle has not been in any accidents, i checked all the fuses and they are working and have a current running through them. After some research (within google and f-150 forums) a lot of people are having issues with this and having to replace their clock springs.

Hi, we've experienced two brake failures on our ford f-150 pickup. The first time was 17 june 2020 on front right brake. Dealer told me we hit something and charged $500 to fix it. Vehicle was parked and i started it up and pressed on the brake pedal to put it into drive, brake pedal went to the floor and upon investigation, i found brake fluid leaking from the right front brake area.. The second event was 11 december and involved front left brake.failure occurred when bringing vehicle to a stop after disconnecting from our travel trailer and we were pulling forward to separate from our trailer. Truck is at stockton ford, fort stockton, texas. Read online that this issue with ford's is being investigated. I got pictures and my vehicle is supposed to be fixed tomorrow but i will make it available if you want to look at it.tom monahan
Tailgate wont unlock when temp is freezing. I'm reading that many ford owners from, 2015 through 2017 have the same issue. Here is what i found and the part number for the fix.some 2015-2017 f-150 vehicles built on or before 28-nov-2016 equipped with a mechanical tailgate handle and remote control tailgate lock may exhibit a tailgate that will not open during freezing temperatures due to a frozen tailgate latch control assembly. To correct this concern install a revised tailgate latch control assembly part number fl3z-9943170-e
My 2016 f-150 is not unlocking/locking the doors in colder temperatures (below 32*f). Several times i have had to wait to remote start and warm the truck up before the door locks are operable. I had a tsb performed by my dealer under warranty, and the very next day (the temperature was 10*f) i cannot get into my truck because the door locks are frozen and inoperable. I can not get into my vehicle until the locks warm up and work, sometimes this takes up to 30 minutes of the vehicle running using the remote start. This usually works for the drivers side door, however the other three doors (super crew) still do not work until the temperature warms up.
Recall 17s33 open/frozen door latch.have been to local dealer 4 times with no fix. Called corporate (ford) and they say i need to continue to work with local dealer.been in and out of dealership loaner cars for 3 months.
Third brake light started leaking water into cab which ran down under carpet on driver side causing mold and mildew inside cab which is a very bad health risk for people i cant even drive it because of the mold smell have to replace the complete carpet
Topic: sirius satellite radio uses a unsafe prompt which forces drivers to take their eyes off the road and hands off the wheel, while driving, in order to remove it from the screen. This prompt is their attempt at forcing consumers to call and subscribe to their service. In my ford f-150, i am able to use a button on my steering wheel to toggle through the audio sources (such as am, fm, cd, or phone. Sirius satellite radio is also one of those options), safely. The sirius satellite radio was a feature that was already installed in the truck when it was purchased from the dealership. I have never subscribed to their service nor do i wish to. Unfortunately, every time i toggle through and get to the sirius source, a prompt shows up on the screen (see photo) and i am forced to take my eyes off the road and my hands off the wheel in order to hit 'close' so that i can move on to the audio source that i am looking for. Sirus told me that there is nothing they can do to disable the prompt, and that the only way to disable it permanently was to pay them for service or pay a dealership to go in and remove the satellite chip. This situation is unsafe and unfair to the consumer. I should not be forced to use my own time and money in order have this safety violation fixed. This seems like a blatant contradiction of our'hands-free' traffic laws, which are meant to encouraging drivers to keep their eyes on the road. Sirius has essentially hijacked this safety feature in my truck and i would like to pursue a complaint. I am afraid this is an accident waiting to happen. They are aware of the problem and refused to do anything to help.
I was traveling on i-96 highway in michigan, and just got on the highway.i was cruising along at about 70 mph (temp outside 75).after driving for about 2 minutes, i heard a loud pop sound that sounded like a gunshot explosion. I looked back at the rear glass, and it had shattered.the tempered glass was still intact however it was making a loud crackling sound.i pulled off the highway immediately and parked in a parking lot.i took pictures of the glass and noticed it was billowing outward from the truck, and the outer edges were jagged and broken.there was no sign of impact by a rock or any other object that could have hit the glass. I decided it was best to go to the ford dealership right down the road to have the incident documented.upon closing my door to get back into the truck, 2/3 of the shattered glass fell and spread out all over the back tonneau cover of the truck. Clearly indicating the pressure of the break went "outward" from the truck cabin.the ford dealer body shop manager took pictures and told me he would file a claim on my behalf with ford.i expressed my concern with learning that ford has had a problem for years with this happening to their trucks and suvs, and i wanted this information passed on to the corporate level.i was able to bring the truck safely to an auto repair shop locally, and they told me they have replaced many rear glass sections in ford trucks that broke without an object impacting it.i think there is a substantial case here to be built against ford.yes, the glass was not dangerous, and thank goodness my son was not in the truck at the time. However if this really is a consistent problem with ford, it's time for a recall or a lifetime warranty by the company.
My 2016 ford f150 recently started whistling at the 2500rpm point from the front end of the my truck.i took it to the dealership expecting a vacuum hose issue and was told both exhaust manifolds had warped and broke off some of the mounting bolts.i was a bit shocked since the vehicle has 102,000 miles on it and it's not been abused in anyway.unfortunately, the factory warranty runs out at 100,000 miles and on the hook for the cost of this $1600+ (so far) repair.after doing a little research on the internet it did not take me long to discover this is a very well known problem with the 3.5l ecoboost engine.there were a multitude of websites and youtube videos addressing this known problem with folks quite upset that an official recall has not been issued yet with a proper fix/replacement and reimburse the owners who have already paid for the fix.seems like it's not a matter of if it's going to happen to your truck...but when.very disappointing, especially when you hear how many known issues have already been reported.exhaust fumes leaking from the engine and possibly into the cab...should take a high priority to resolve.let's go ford...make it right!thank you.
Bought a brand new, 2016 f150 lariat v8 4x4. At circa 2500 miles the vehicle started to make an unusual noise when driving at 45 to 60-mph. Took the vehicle for repair to the dealership. Dealership heard the noise also, but were not able to locate/fix it. They advised me to continue driving the car to see if the noise increased. At circa 3750 miles, i took the vehicle to the dealership for a second time since the noise was still present and evident. The dealership has kept the car for 10 days, and although the noise still can be heard, they dealership is informing me that they are not able to locate and fix the noise. They have instructed me to pick up the vehicle although they do not know what is wrong with it. I am worried to pick up a car that has not been fixed, that has a noise that was not present when new, and that is happening when driving at high speeds. The dealership/ ford must assume ownership of the vehicle since they can't fix it, and can't advise customers to keep driving the vehicle "since we can't find were the noise is coming from, there is nothing wrong with it".
On january 10 2017, at approximately 7:45 a.m. After dropping off my 3 kids at school, the rear window on my 2016 ford f-150 exploded and shattered after the rear window defroster was activated.
On 5 separate occasions the dash display stopped working. Radio/cd player/backup camera would not work at all. The main concern is backing up at night in a crowded parking lot with the back of my truck loaded for a 9 day camping trip. I can not see out any of the camper shell windows at all. I could hit a parked vehicle or a pedestrian. This has happened 5 separate times.
Back glass of2016 f-150 shattered upon door closing in the morning. Defroster may have been on.
The doors (especially front driver side) often do not latch shut when the temperature is below freezing. The latch mechanism appears to be freezing. If one doesn't realize the door is not fully latched, it may swing open while on the road. I had to hold the door with one hand in order to prevent the door from swinging open. I will be bringing the truck to the dealer for the 18n03 recall despite the fact that many other f150 owners state that this does not fix the problem in many cases.
Installed new front bumpers from ranch hand corporation shiner,tx 18003669712 they said all the safety features would work and the adaptive cruise. It doesn't and a big safety issue. I just want them to honor what they said they sold and to have safety features. I called them and not very helpful at all and rush me off the phone.
The back up camera has been sporadic for over a year, sometimes it is vertical digit multicolor lines, sometimes it is very dark and "over contrasted", sometimes it is a blue screen, and then sometimes it works perfectly.it started last summer, but before i got around to fixing it, winter came and it worked perfectly until spring.there is a recall for 2020 vehicles experiencing the same problems, so where is my justice?i might add, there is a recall on ford back up cameras and i had to select "other"?i would think if you know there is a problem with a back up camera that it should at least be an option!
I was told by the sales person, (xxxxx), that the truck is under a bumper to bumper warranty, and a ford company warranty that includes even the light bulb. After just few days of driving, i noticed some vibration of the truck, bad oil burning in the cabine,griding of the wheels when i have to take sharp corners and many more issues. Called the covington ford dealer about the problems/issues i have with the truck. I was told to take it to a ford dealer to have it inspected. Did that. Called covington ford and they told me to take it over to theyr dealer and they will checked and fix it. Left the truck for over a week with them i called to see what's going on with my truck. I was told they fixed everything.now the vibration is getting worse. Called again covington ford with same problems. I told them i'll go on a hunger strike in front of their dealer and ford company main office. And i will if the problem is not solved. The owner of covington ford contacted me by phone, and left me a mesage that thy will take care of the truck or get me another truck. Drove again to their dealer on a saturday morning. The sales person, (xxxxx) , took a test drive and he said that yes, there are to many problems with the truck, so, i'm gonna get another one. After over 3 hours of back and forth with the owner and general manager, they offer me a older model,2015, and lower xl model. Now i have f150 2016xlt. Did not accepted, so they told me to hit the road. As i said, i'm gonna go on a day hunger strike, call all the media outlets. Even i'll put it on face book. Covington ford should be responsable and inspect the cars before they offer it for sale. I hope that you will help me to solve this problem before i'll go on a hunger strike. All i want from covington ford to stand behind their sales, honor the warranties. Thank you. A very disappointed customer.

I drove my truck to my farm without incident. After being parked for a while, my son-in-law got in to drive to a work area and immediately reported the brake pedal went to the floor. We checked the brake fluid level and it was almost empty, even though i had recently had the level checked as "full" at a change of oil and filter. It took two large bottles of brake fluid (at over $8.00 each,just to get it home (about 50 miles). I had to pump the brakes during this trip to get braking action and drive very carefully and slowly.the day before this happenedi had towed a single axle trailer with an agricultural disc on it.had this quick loss of brakes occurred at that time, it likely would have resulted in serious injury, property damage, and even death. The shop where i took it replaced the master cylinder, the power booster, which had filled with fluid, and an o2 sensor, which had been damaged. The total costwas $1194.34. Since all the parts were replaced with new ford brand parts, there is a likelihood that it will happen again. This is a real safety issue and merits a recall, as well as reimbursement to me of my expenses.
Exhaust smell in cab. Have to drive with windows down to get rid of it. Ford says they can only help me when the smell is actually happening meaning i have to go to the shop right then and there. Also xm radio cuts in at out. Ford knows it's an issue but has no fix. It's at the same intersections everyday. They said keep checking in for possible fixed.
My driver door won't latch. Sometimes it won't open.other times it won't latch.
This morning i turned on my vehicle ( it was parked in my driveway) to warm it up. I proceeded to use the rear defroster because there was some frost on the rear windshield. Five minutes later i heard a loud pop and when i looked back the rear windshield was completely shattered. I i i believe this was a result of a malfunction with the wiring of the rear windshield defroster or the rear windshield itself.
When temperatures are below freezing the doors will not open, or they won'tlatch shut. This has happened on 5 occasions since november 2018 .ford issued safety recall 17s33 and ford customer satisfaction program 18n03 to try to repair the door latch defect. Those recalls, and repair programs have been performed on my vehicle, and after four attempts by the dealer to correct the latch issues, the defect still exists. The doors still have problems opening and latching shut when freezing outside temperatures. Nhtsa campaign 17v652 identifies this safety defect as one that causes the doors to either not open, not close, or to fly open when driving. This represents a serious safety defect. I believe it is unacceptable and dangerous for anyone, especially kids or pets, to ride in a car where the doors can either unexpectedly fly open while driving down the highway, or to not be able to open in event of an emergency. Ford needs to come up with a reliable repair for this.
I was driving on the interstate at 80mph when the truck lost thrust and several warnings came up. Luckily, i was near an exit so able to coast to the exit. The throttle body had to replace. I found this was a common issue for this vehicle and ford had a customer service program to replace them. I am the second owner and never heard about it because it was not considered a recall, so i had to pay for the repairs myself. I consider this a safety issue. Imagine losing power passing a vehicle on a two lane road or in the middle of an intersection. I found this letter from ford on your site: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/mc-10109085-9999.pdf. Not sure why this did not substantiate a recall.
Ford has just recalled 700,00 vehicles of various 2020 models due to the rear-view camera, which features a circuit board that can be faulty resulting in "blank or distorted images" on the screen.i am submitting this complaint as i believe this issue affects other model years, specifically the 13th generation f-150. I have a 2016 f-150 that is experiencing the same symptoms as described in the current recall and of which i have reviewed several complaints posted across multiple forums.this issue present a significant safety concern as visibility behind the vehicle is lost when the camera malfunctions.i have included an image of my camera when vehicle is placed in reverse.i am requesting that the nhtsa encourage ford to expand their recall to include all affected models as they must be aware the issue is broader that what is being communicated.i am including the links which include the comments of several consumers that are experiencing these same symptoms. You will see these discussions go back several years.https://www.f150forum.com/f118/backup-camera-intermittent-issues-415191/https://www.f150ecoboost.net/threads/rear-view-camera-problems.5086/https://www.f150forum.com/f118/bad-backup-camera-366868/https://www.f150forum.com/f118/rear-360-camera-issues-453187/
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated while attempting to enter the vehicle using the key fob, the key fob failed to unlock the door. The contact used the key to manually unlock the door. The contact noticed that the windshield was cracked and was burned. In addition, the dashboard on the passengerā€™s side was melted, the sun visor was melted and burned, the air bags were also melted. The vehicle was towed to a collision shop, the contact was informed that the cause of the fire was undetermined however, the fire might have started from the air bags. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided a case number. The approximate failure mileage was 80,100.
While the vehicle is in motion there is a constant rattling coming from the panoramic sunroof while it is closed.
Vehicle idles rough and stalls after driving for about 30 minutes or so. Rpms drop to below 500, vehicle shakes and sputters, and sometimes dies. I have had the vehicle die multiple times before turning at a stop light/sign.
When the temperature drops below 30 degrees the drivers door will not stay latched/shut.currently i cannot get into my truck via the drivers door.i remoted started the truck (outside temp 21 degrees) went to leave so i unlocked the door, got into the truck and attempted to shut the door and it would not latch.i pulled the door shut and hit the lock button and the door latched.i forgot something in my house so i got out of the truck and the door would not latch, i pushed it shut and hit the lock button and went in my house.came out and the door would not open even after being unlocked.rear passenger door is also the same way.this has happened multiple times
The right passenger door will not shut, also the left passenger door will not open. I have contacted the dealer from where i purchased the vehicle and was told there is a back order on parts with no known time frame when they will receive the parts. Recall number is 17s33/ nhtsa recall 17v-652. The vehicle is not safe to operate due to this condition.
Some of the door locks keep freezing in cold wet weather. Once i get the doors open they cannot lock properly.the door will fly open while underway due to the frozen locks.this has happened several times over the past three years.
My rear window exploded in my 2016 f-150. I started the truck with the remote starter and let it run for 10 mins.. When i got in the and put the key in the ignition the back window exploded leaving a hole on the driver side of the and the passenger side shatter. The middlepart is still whole.
The sync 3 systems functions poorly or not at all. Often times it stalls, freezes or becomes unresponsive which can cause the following to happen. The screen goes black and i am unable to adjust the climate or use the radio. All functions are disabled. The screen get stuck with the backup camera on and all of the controls are disabled, including the climate control. The screen is unresponsive to the touch and the climate control, radio and all other functions do not work. The navigation gets stuck on the screen and the location is inaccurate and you cannot make other changes, including to the climate control. It does not matter if the vehicle is in motion or stationary as the sync 3 system does not function either way. This happens about every time i drive the vehicle but i had to enter a single date in the system.i asked the dealer about this but their response was "did you get the extended warranty?".
Probably about 95% of the time when using my back up camera has a distorted image with lines and colors thought out the whole screen.
Door latches freezing, preventing operation of door to latch close, sometimes will not open. Happening multiple times daily below freezing temperatures, and on all doors intermittently. Sometimes, locks showing locked, but door will open without key. Door can take over an hour to thaw out with truck started multiple times running heat full blast. Told by 2 dealerships that parts are not available, loaners are not available, and rentals are not covered by recall or warranty for this issue. Told to bungee doors together and call back when parts arrive. Consistent advice across multiple dealerships.
Rear window shattering while driving
There is a recall for the locks freezing. I spoke with ford customer service this morning. I have had just by drives door replaced (that is were the dealership starts). Customer service stated that is only fixes the front doors of my four door truck. The tailgate of the truck also locks and had frozen locked. All the doors on my truck and the tailgate have frozen locked before. When asked if there was a recall for the tailgate. I was told there is a fix but it will cost you $208. Plus they are working on getting me a price for my rear doors fixed. This is a know problem and recall has been issued to only fix part of the issues. I have videos of my trying to get into my truck tailgate while hitting the unlock button on my key fob.
Rear defogger on sliding rear window has become completely disconnected. Poor design. When automatically opening sliding rear window, the defogger mechanism gets caught on rear seat eventually, this lead to the rear defogger disconnecting and breaking off from his housing.
Started to hear a clicking/tapping noise coming from the engine while at idle. Have learned that it is the etb (electronic throttle body). I physically saw the etb making the noise i am concerned about. Took to ford for diagnosis and because the truck is not giving an error code, there is nothing they will do. Found that there are several hundred complaints against ford and their etb. It is a safety issue that i am trying to prevent.
When backing up, sensor will indicate red (imminent impact) and make loud beeping tone when no object/obstacle is present. False beeping may lead to driver ignoring backup sensors altogether. If backing up for long distances tone can become distracting to driver.
I turned my defrost on in my 2016 ford f150, minutes after my truck smelt of burning wires and my rear glass shattered. There was no impact as i was still in my driveway.
When opening the sunroof the plastic track will break causing the sunroof mechanism to become jammed leaving the sunroof partially open and unable to close.this is the second time this track has broken
The back window shattered without warning or trauma/cause.the vehicle was moving at less than 25 mph on a city street which was smoothe.
It's happened 9 or 10 times in two years ... Try to start it - nothing...try again-still completely dead. Sit back wondering what i'm going to do,and the truck will start all by itself while i'm not touching anything. Have spoken to numerous mechanics none have heard of it before.
Truck is idling down to about 250 rpm and periodically stalling out after driving and coming to a stop at a light or stop sign.also stalls in reverse.ford cannot resolve the issue. Started with 22604 miles. Now has 26346 miles and am still having the same issue. I have taken it to the ford dealer where i purchased it 3 times. Still has not been resolved
Parked truck. Put shifter into park. Turned ignition off. Truck was stationary and in park. Opened door. Got out of truck. Opened back door. Truck rolled 6 feet forward and then came to a stop.
My tailgate opens by itself.does not matter if i'm driving in park. Multiple times, it has opened while driving done the road or on the highway.it first started while just sitting in the garage or driveway.i would come out and find it down.its not a key fob issue as i believe the tailgate should not go down regardless if your driving down the road. This has been an issue for the past few months.i took it to dealership and they could not duplicate the problem.
My 2016 f150 5.0 supercrewhas started to regularly stall when idling in park or when braking or coasting when coming to a intersection.i can immediately restart upon putting in park or neutral.sometimes a check engine light comes on.upon googling the problem it seems pretty common with no answers of certainty.
My husband was driving home from work when he heard a pop that sounded like a balloon bursting and he smelled something burning. He did have the rear sliding window open partially. When he got home, he looked the vehicle over to find his back window had shattered. Our insurance covered it 100% but this appears to not be an isolated incident. I went online and learned that has happened to other ford f150s and explorers and ford will not accept responsibility. I am going to put a complaint in with them as well.
Drivers side door lock is frozen in the open position. Air temperature dipped to around 0 degrees overnight. There is a recall on this for other 2016 ford f150's with the same problem. My vin number is not included in this recall at the present time.
Sudden loss of power ,did not stall ,no engine light ,in the span of 1/2 mile did it 3 times ,pulled off road each time and let idle in neutralthen took off again. Then it went 2 miles ok ,stoppedfor 2hours ,back on road again at appiroximately 1 mile loss power again ,i did same as above it di it twice more within 1/2 mile again ,then it was ok for 1 1/2 miles then did again on a really bad curve , then i drove another 2 miles to my home and called 800 # to ford ,they tow truck pick it up took to my dealer ,they had a week could not find anything wrong ,they put approximately 50+ miles on it ,no problem drove normally ,called me to pick it up no way tell what was wrong without a code ,drive till it happens again and call us , i said i'll call but if no code what happens then ,no sense bringing back to you because no no can fix ,no answer to that ,give back the old days pre computer at least you could always fix those vehicles ,with computer not even a clue. An they dare to put driverless cars on the road!! at the right time an location could cause a deadly accident!
Tarted my 2016 ford f150 sunday morning,turned on defroster due to foggy windows from rain & humidity,went back inside to get my coffee before i left to go for donuts,came back out,got in truck,started down the hill and heard a pop behind me,looked back,and both sides of the rear window glass had shattered,the center pwr window was still intact.
When towing and coming to a stop my vehicle stalls and dies. It will not stay running. To keep it running i have to put in neutral and press the gas pedal to keep it running and then put into gear and take off. This is not safe. It is the 2.7l ecoboost. I took it to our local ford where it happened to the tech that took my truck in for inspection and then they said the service tech could not replicate the issue. They charged me $130 diagnosis fee and said they couldn't find the issue and called for me to pick up my vehicle. This is happening all over the country and something needs to be done.
Remote start was activated with my truck backed into my driveway up to my garage.after several minutes i came out to my truck and observed the rear windshield to be shattered and glass all over my child's car seat.after closer inspection, the area around where the defrost wire connects to glass had a obvious burn pattern and glass was spider webbed out from that location.ford would not stand behind their failed parts and would not repair.
In a few degrees below freezing locks and latches will not work!!most often you will be forced to bungee doors together to drive. In my case it is a screw and it is almost always the driver's door. It has been fixed with the latest ford repairs and still continues to fail.many many of us are sufferring without a fix from ford!!
My ford f150's rear window exploded while pulling into an intersection and no impact. The rear defrost was on.
Under freezing conditions, passenger door will not re-latch closed after being opened from the outside. The passenger door will open using the outside handle, but will not securely latch closed. The issue resolves as temperature warms up.
The break system failed completely.got a low brake fluid message and pedal went to the floor.the vehicle is currently at the dealership getting fixed. If this would have happened while driving down the interstate i would not have been able to stop. No warnings or symptoms before entering the vehicle this particular time.
The first time i went to use my sunroof the track broke now my window is stuck up and sunroof does not work.
I have had my truck to dealer for many multiple issues involving electrical since approximately 6600 miles beginning with shaking when i slowed down without utilizing brakes. Since then i've been at the dealer with many electrical issues where truck would not accelerate and all lights would illuminate. This has been ongoing and very unsafe.when i would attempt to make a left hand turn i would proceed to cross opposing lanes and vehicle would feel like it was in neutral and almost was struck on numerous occasions. Vehicle has also over accelerated very early in ownership. Most recently and i picked up my truck and a week later same problem. I have had my truck at the dealership with electrical problems that create a great danger to myself as well as other motorists. Certainly i cannot be the only person who literally as of the first week of december 2015 received my ordered truck and now after 3 years has had so many close calls when operating the vehicle.all times the vehicle was operational and runs very rough prior to happening. I have been driving down the street and video the trucks camera and other items going on and off during operation. The truck has sever electrical deficiencies and the engine has severe response issues that puts my life. My passengers lives and the other motorist at great risk of injury or death. I am unable to supply all the dates in the one space provided. But have all video and paperwork from all the times and dates from dealership.
Truck was in park with the engine running.nobody was in the truck which was on a slight incline.it was standing still in the back yard while i was trying to get the garage door closed.it took off going through a chainlink fence, across a neighbors yard, and came to rest on a bank on the other side of the neighbors yard. The fence and brush caused several heavy scratches to the truck.
Son was driving 2016 ford f-150 truck on a 2 lane road, right out of our subdivision. It started shaking and stalling, wouldn't accelerate, brakes went stiff, wrench light came on, engine light came on. Numerous sensors came on. Was very dangerous. Had to coast the truck back home. Had to have the truck towed to dealership. Throttle body went bad. Repair was $575.00. They claimed there were no recalls and not covered under warranty. There was a field service recall on this model truck and this part a year after the truck was purchased new with previous owner. We are the second owners. Knew nothing about this until now. Was told by ford that field service recalls expire. Previous owner may have not had a problem to take it in and have it checked. One of the old recall numbers i researched was 16b32, there were several others. There are numerous lawsuits against ford for this part going bad. Can stall out at any time and cause a deadly accident. This truck is too new to have these problems. Had a full 45,000 inspection at ford a few months ago. Nothing was ever mentioned about this or cleaning this. Ford is selling vehicles with faulty parts that can cause unexpected accidents that can be deadly.
When the temperature is below freezing my doors will freeze shut or not close fully. Ford says it could be a few months before parts become available for a proper fix. They say the whole door lock mechanism and cable need to be replaced in all doors. This is my only pickup truck and i drive it in the winter time. So now i have to wait till it warms up to drive my vehicle safely as the doors may not shut or fully close. This is a safety issue and ford is taking their time for a fix. They say they have no clue when parts will become available. I am currently on a waiting list at my local ford dealership for the repair. At the end of january 2017 we had the same issue with our truck. The doors would not close or fully open then also. Took the truck in to ford and they supposedly readjusted the door lock mechanisms which did not fix the issue. They told me not to wash the vehicle at all in the winter time as the water can get down into the door and fries the mechanisms. This is unacceptable as ford should have tested these trucks in cold weather conditions. If they did they would have known of the issue and fixed it before putting the truck to market. Today the doors would not closed and i had to use a propane heater and a blow dryer to unthaw them. Finally i was able to get my doors closed after 30 minutes of thawing them. This is a safety-related issue as the doors when driving down the road could come open or not fully engage the locking mechanism when temperatures dip below freezing.
Can't get tbs info on my truck. I know there have been some for frozen door locks, frozen windshield washer lines, fire hazard for side impact collisions but the nhtsa site says there are zero. How can check as a owner. The manufacturer pages are not accessible to me as no login or password for owners to register for. Help:)
Purchased my 2016 ford f150, brand new.during cold temperatures the door locks do not unlock and if you are able to get unlocked the doors do not lock nor latch.if in the event i was in traveling in cold temperatures, i would be locked in my vehicle cause a safety concern for my two infants and wife and i.spoke to ford manufacturer and ford service dept, they are aware of the issue and there is a back order of parts, since january of 2017, when i started have issues with my vehicle. I am seeking legal advice in getting vehicle bought back from ford company, minus depreciation.
Driver side door latch does not close when it's cold.
Truck was parked in driveway for 30 minutes and heard a loud pop. Rear window shattered for no reason. Was parked in shade and temperature was mid 70s.
The door locks and latches will not work in freezing weather. There are other issues such as the windshield washer fluid check valve freezing...huge in icey conditions because if you don't have a way to clean window in car u are unable to see well. On mine it is the driver's door latch so you cannot get door to stay closed.know issue but response by ford and how they are handling is a failure!!the parts are out to march and they want u to just deal with it.
The moonroof in our f150 won't open or completely close.the vent option in the moonroof opens a fraction of the amount it has opened previously.based on my research it's a design issue with the track.since the moonroof won't close completely there is a possibility of water leaking into the cab.the moonroof is rarely used.we attempted to open it and do some basic troubleshooting (to at least get it to close completely) while sitting idle in the driveway.when i contacted my ford service department there were no appointments available for the next week.
Ford issued recall notice 18s27 in nov 2017, i have called my local dealership 4 time in the last 12 months and have been told that the parts our on backorder. What good is issuing a recall if the problem can not be fixed in a timely manner. Ford is not taking this issue seriously.
I have been locked out of the truck several times in the past month when it has been cold and some of the times when i could actually get back in, the doors then would not latch shut until the vehicle completely warmed up enough to "thaw" the locks. But often the issue would come right back once the truck was cold again. I understand there is a tsb about this on 2015 and 2016 trucks (16-0155) but i have been told the parts are not available until around feb 1 and that the service takes atleast 5 hrs to perform
I have a 2016 f150 with issues similar to nhtsa complaint id# 10127407.the problems are not intermittent, the part has failed & is not available from ford at this time.the air conditioning quits completely & you cannot run the fan at all.you cannot roll down any windows in the vehicle & the vehicle gets well over 90 degrees inside while driving.this is a huge safety issue because when this doesn't work it also disables the airbags of the vehicle, cross traffic alert as well as tire pressure monitor failure along with other safety features.the seats no longer retract or move forward when the vehicle is started/shutoff.the key fob intermittently will not lock the doors of the vehicle & the alert on the truck says key not found.with the warm temperatures and no way to roll down the windows or turn on the ac or a blower fan makes this vehicle extremely unsafe to operate.
Driving on hwy at 70 mph using adaptive cruise control all of a sudden it applied the brakes. Few days later it did again on hwy nothing around me. Stopped using it after second time. Lucky no one was behind me. Then after i got to my disination the next morning stater my truck first i noticed no power to the front driver & passanger windows then no a/c / climate control, no mirror control so started driving it then noticed tire warning light on but wouldn't show the tire pressures looked at tires and looked like they where fine. When leaving store was backing up and almost hit a car my warning sensor didn't go off now i noticed that all of my safety devices on this truck was not working. Now i'm wondering if my airbags are active. Drove back home from virginia to tennessee about 6 hr drive very carfuly. Next day straight to ford dealer and is still there as i'm writing this. Very unsafe to drive. Did notice on the adaptive cruise control issue there was a recall on the 2015 models but didn't see any on the 2016.
Panoramic sunroof 2nd repair,1st at 35,000 miles to replace guides under warranty, now at 57,000 tracks and guide need to be replaced cost of $4,000.the sunroof does not operate while motionless or in motion.
I have a 2016 f150 lariat super cab you had a recall on the f150 doors and i had the recall done it only covers the door latches but the recall doesn't cover the rear door locking pins. When its cold outside i open the rear half door and close it and the bottom bolt doesn't come down and lock the rear bottom half of the door only the top half is secured. I have to have the heat cranked on high to warm the inside of the cab so the bottom locking bolt will come down and properly secure the door on the bottom. If the top locking bolt fails the only thing keeping the door closed is the seat belt im wearing since it is mounted in the rear half door and is latched across me why is this locking bolt not covered by the recall are you waiting for someone to fall out of the car and get hurt before you recall this also. My old f150 never had this problem it was a super cab also i called your corporate customer service and they told me its not covered all i want is my 2016 ford f150 to be safe i love this truck i hope you can help me
Light came on brake fluid low then immediately no brakes going down the road.bad master cyclinder.
I was completing a 3 hour drive of approximately 120 miles (i had less than 5 miles to go till i arrived at my destination) when my sensors started lighting up my message board and dash system. I was in the left turn lane to enter the on-ramp to us65 south when this happened so i pulled off to the shoulder to investigate. I had just put my truck in park when a car pulled up and said that my engine was on fire. When i got out to look, the fire was rolling out from under the drivers side wheel well. As well, there was either a fluid or melted plastic dripping down to the asphalt that was also on fire. The fire appeared to put itself out, for the most part, prior to the fire company arriving within the next 10 minutes. I had, what i believed to be at the time, recall work done by mike raisor ford in lafayette, in, less than 1 year ago. In that recall work, i thought the block heater was disconnected so as to prevent an engine fire such as this. Now, i am having doubts as to whether this was completely disconnected. Nhtsa campaign number is 18v894000 and fords recall number is 18s45.
This is in regards to an appointment i made with prestige ford 17701 u.s. Hwy 441, mt. Dora, florida 32756 for safety recall 17v-652. I made an apt. To have it fixed dec. 24, @ 12:30. I arrived a few minutes early signed paperwork and said i'd wait. About 15 minutes later i was told they will not fix it until it malfunctions. I asked the guy why was i given an apt? his response was it wasn't him. I told him i going to lake placid in feb. And was concerned about the doors freezing. He said if they do then i can get it fixed. So i said i'm suppose to be stranded in the north country and not be able to get in my truck. Are you people for real? i want to file a formal complaint with your agency. I've attached photos below of the work ticket and, get this, a email the dealership sent me saying sorry you missed your appointment. No sorry you didn't fix the problem!
My truck leaks repeated leak in the back seat. I have video proof of the truck leaking on multipleoccasions and the dealer says they can not find it.i bring the truck home test it and i get it to do it.the truck seems musty and not good for my health smelling mold spores.video file to big to submit
One cold early morning i was driving, had both rear and front defrost on. While driving i heard a loud pop followed by the smell of burning wires. After pulling over i noticed that my rear window was completely shattered. It's a rear sliding window with a power window. Black box for power that stick to the window was popped off and smelled like burnt.
Since buying this truck i've been having driveline vibrations on the vehicle. The vibrations happen when from a complete stop i would accelerate and have vibrations that would cause the truck to shake. The conditions of the road were normal and and tried numerous times on different pavements to see if it might be the road conditions but it wasn't. The vibrations is mainly between the 5-15 mile per hour range. I've taken it to the dealer and they said that it was a common issue with these trucks and that it was totally normal.
Speed controlincludes systems and devices intended to control (accelerate) the speed of the vehicle to the driver's intent such as the accelerator pedal, throttle control cables, linkages, actuators, electronic control units and software, cruise control system actuators and deactivating systems, and other components and systems that may interfere with the speed control
Rear defroster shorted out. Overheated and caught the plastics on fire.the window then shattered from the excess heat from the rear defrost.the vehicle was in motion on the highway. Outside temp was 28 degrees.rear defrost and heat were on for the vehicle.while traveling, the vehicle began to smoke internally.the car was pulled over, and shut off.the smoke stopped and the window shattered.the plastic and seat surrounding the rear defrost connection to the window were melted.
I have contacted gus johnson ford numerous times to have my recalls fixed they always tell me they are ordering the parts. This started over a year ago in the winter with my door unabkle to close. I need my recall fixed asap
Since i purchased my truck there has been issues with the backup camera.the dealer replaced the apim and had to keep the vehicle for three weeks to trace a bad wire.it has been 10 months and the camera has failed again.i feel as if this is a wider spread issue. Ford even expanded the warranty for the previous years apims.
The ford f-150 2016have a serious flaw in safety feature.the windows will not raise or lower unless the engine is running.the seriousness of this can't be painted in this email as opposed to the real life potential of being trapped in a truck and the only way out would be to roll down the windows. In the right circumstances the engine may not start therefore giving the potential to be trapped in a ford truck that could be on fire due to a crash. I dare not try to illustrate all the possible reasons of how dangerous this safety flaw in the ford is but the given fact is all auto makers have failed by selling vehicles that does not have the ability to roll down the windows in case of emergency. On most ford vehicles the technology exists for this feature to be installed. The install program is named global window. The global window install operates with the key fob even if the engine isn't running. The procedure for this to work is simply double tap the unlock button on the key fob twice on the second motion while depressing the unlock button it is to be held in the downward position and this action will roll the windows down without the engine running. In the arena of safety it is unacceptable for any auto maker to present the possibility of trapping any person or persons in a vechicle due to windows not workingbecause the engine not running. In closing i offer this scenario automobile runs off a bridge over a river or lake,the vechicle sinks and the occupants can't open the doors and due to the safety failure ofthe windowsnot rolling down due to the engine not running causes apparent heart break . All over the fact that a failure of the ability not to be able to roll the windows down ..not acceptable reguardless of who themaker of the automobileis. Be it fordcheverolet,toyotaor any auto maker. This failure is in all modes static or moving .
While driving i recieved a brake fluid level low warning light. Proceded cautiously to work approximately a mile away without any issue.looked at the reservoir and found it to be nearly empty.after the truck sat i went to leave work hoping to make it to a parts store to get brake fluid.got in to start it and the pedal went completely to the floor with no resistance. Hitched a ride to get fluid and topped it off.i got back in and headed down the road making it no more than a mile before i completely lost my brakes.after service this was apparently caused by a faulty seal in the master cylinder pumping all the brake fluid into the booster.a problem ford has had with previous model years and recalled. This type of failure leaves no evidence of a leak.this was a sudden and complete loss of the ability to stop my vehicle except for the parking break.dangerous to say the least.
While using my vehicle under normal conditions the check engine light came on so i had vehicle checked at autozone and o'reily's which showed 2 different codes and took it to machaik dealership. Turns out i had to have both cylinder heads replace, crankshaft bolt replaced as well as a few other items. I was told it was an issue that ford was aware of and didn't notify me of it when i bout the vehicle. They covered the cost due to the vehicle being under warranty which was about $5,000. $ months later i got my vehicle back and about 30 miles of driving 55mph it started blowing a thick cloud of white smoke with some grey smoke. I take the vehicle home and let it sit for 28 days before i have to use it and after about 23 miles it started smoking again. I take it to the same dealership again and i told them about the smoking issue, rough idle and the exhaust smells like gas which is not normal. I showed them a video of the issue which contains my mileage at the time and my license plate which clearly shows my vehicle so they cannot say it wasn't my vehicle. Waiting for the results of their findings and plan to update the complaint. I will not upload the video at this time due to it containing my license plate, don't know how to upload it from phone and i don't know how to edit that out. If it is necessary to update this complaint i will upload the video as proof as well as work order from previous and current work.my mileage will not be 100% accurate but it will be within 400 miles plus or minus
Purchased from mullinax ford palm beach on 4/13/2018. The vehicle is a 2016 ford f150. I have owned this vehicle slightly over a year and have experienced countless issues, mostly water leaks into the trucks cab that is wetting the carpeting causing humidity and mold issues, mullinax ford takes the vehicle in for repair, supposedly repairs the vehicle and returns it to me, the issues are still present after multiple visits to the dealers service dept. I reached out to ford motor co customer relations in regards to a buy back, ford denied the claim, the repairs have been sub par and per my own research from other service advisors at other dealers are not the correct fix. I reached out to the sales department for assistance, their assistance was minimal, offering below market value and no assistance in pricing for a replacement vehicle, the carpeting is wet causing moisture moldy smells, and mullinax has yet to contact me with an available appointment to fix these issues and ford customer relations has not returned my email but is supposedly supposed to contact me with on friday to touch base. I have records of all supposed repairs, as well as pictures and video documenting all these issues. Repairs: integrated wheel end repair attempts: 1sunroof leak repair attempts: 3 (issue still present)broken sunroof guides (broken by tech) repair attempts: 1high mount brake light leak: repair attempt: 1carpet shielding rework repair attempt: 1vapor management valve repair attempt: 1intermitten hard shift into reverse repair attempt: 1 (issue still present)rear sliding window leak repair attempt: 0 (issue still present)metallic rattle / chirp noise in engine bay repair attempt: 1 (issue still present)door vapor shield leak repair attempts: 2 (issue still present)
On 1/16/2020. I used my remote starter to start the 2016 ford f-150 3 minutes later i went out and smelled electrical wiring. I shut off the truck to look around. I then started the truck back up as soon as i did that the back window blew out.. Called safelite to replace it them on 1/21/20 they replaced it. Then when starting the truck at the safelite shop it blew out again. Called ford dealerships and none of them heard of it doing it.

2016 ford f150 v8 engine.driving down the freeway, my a/c compressor went out.it completely locked up causing the engine to stall and become disabled and could not be restarted.shortly after, i lost power steering and brakes (as a result of the engine loss) which created a safety issue on a freeway at 10:30pm at night as i had to get the vehicle over lanes of traffic without power steering and ease of braking and bring the vehicle to a stop without power assisted brakes.thankfully, we were able to get over, but i don't know that everyone would be so lucky.i don't think an a/c compressor breaking internally should disable the vehicle's engine unless something is fundamentally wrong with the construction of the compressor.i could see accidents occurring as a result of the engine becoming disabled.
Driving down road.started smelling funny smell and smoke in cab.turned around to go back home.pulled into driveway and back window exploded.rear defrost was on.
Navigation system. Ford has not made available an updated navigation map for the 2016-2018 f150, expedition and probably other vehicles including lincoln that i am not aware of. The dealers seem to be in the dark about this subject and no word from ford either. I have had to quit using my nav system for fear that it will direct me to a street that has been removed due to new construction or through an unsafe part of town when newer safer options are available. There are times when i would look at my nav screen and it looked like i was driving in the middle of a field with no roads around me. It's an unsettling feeling when driving thru a strange town at night. This issue is all over the ford forums and i think many of us would like to see this issue resolved before someone gets ;out and hurt or worse. This happens when driving and it happens anywhere there has been new construction or demolition. It happens everyday at all speeds, it has been an issue since the day the truck went into service 5/30/16. It was delivered with an out dated nav map.you see this on the news from time to time where the nav/gps sends someone the wrong direction and something bad happens to them. Any help would be appreciated. I am sure there are thousands, or 10's of thousands of vehicles with this same problem.
Horn assembly is not working while in motion or parked. The after the month bumper to bumper warranty was up the horn stop working, including sound when using the key to lock/unlock truck, and the panic alarm does not sound. Was inform from dealership we will have to pay to have this corrected 433.83. Goes back to ford dealer ship on july 15 2019
Driving down the highway, doing about 60 to 65 mph, noticed that i was slowing down slightly, went to give it more gas, looked down at the dashboard and realized that the engine wasn't on (no rpms on tachometer).the screen on the dashboard had a service warning for the parking brake with a lightning bolt idiot light on (not sure what it was, didn't get the chance to look in the manual).i don't know if the power steering/brakes went out, since i was moving fast enough to steer fairly easily, and i'm strong enough to press a brake pedal.after i got it pulled over, i put it in park, tried to start it again, wasn't able to.called roadside assistance, got a tow truck. Notice the screen that has stuff like clock, temp, date, media info was stuck at the time it shutoff.no other electrical systems seemed to work, i.e. Power windows, emergency flashers, ignition.was also locked in park, couldn't get it into neutral for the tow truck. After it got onto the tow truck, the exterior lights flashed while driving to the dealership to service it, got to dealer and when it came time to get it off the truck, it started right back up again, didn't appear to have any service messages show up.brand new truck, about 1100 miles on it, no accidents, no off-roading, haven't even changed the oil yet, haven't touched anything under the hood besides the oil dipstick.at the dealership, nothing seemed to be loose under the hood (electrical wise). Attached is a picture similar to what i saw (again, 65 on the highway, not really an ideal time for documentation).
The power folding mirror button is located directly in front of the drivers window control, approximately 1/2' away. While in motion, driver can hit mirror button and cause them to fold in.this happens at any speed.per forwards own recommendations, you must allow the mirrors to fully retracts before hitting the button to place them back in normal position otherwise, this could cause issues with the mirrors.this causes driver to remove eye from road to remedy situation as well as not having visibility of surroundings.software update should be published to disable the nearest from being able to be folded while the vehicle is in motion.
Air cleaner cover won't engage hold-down recesses. Air cleaner edges appear to be too big for cover closure. Air cleaner cover remains unsecured. I discovered this non-fitment while inspecting for registration.
Advancetrac came on hill start assist not available came on motor didn't die but the gas wouldn't work so i had to pull over and turn vehicle off and restart it and then it didn't want to start after it restarted it goes away and you can continue to drive idk what it could be but i find it very dangerous it's happened 4 times in 2 days
The back glass shattered.i warmed the truck up earlier using my remote start.i got into the truck and forgot my phone, i then exited the truck and closed the driver side door and i head a noise.the glass exploded both inside and outside.there was glass everywhere.after researching, i have found several other similar issues with the back glass.the truck was in park and in our driveway. The quote from the ford dealer is $750.
I wanted to make you aware of this situation that i've encountered.on the 3rd of december, i was going to my ford f150 xlt to go to work. My car was sitting in the back yard and i started it with the remote start to warm it up. I opened the door and glanced at the back window. I then saw that the entire window was shattered. I looked around for anything suspicious and found nothing. I checked to see if something fell on or hit my back window and still didn't see anything strange.i called my insurance provider and she thought that it had something to do with the weather, which was about 40 degrees. But when i checked the web, i found that there were more cases like mine. People who were just using the rear defroster and their back windows would crack and shatter. The reason that i'm sending the email is to find out if there is an open recall for these windows.i, along with other f150 owners, had no idea that the window would break from using the rear defroster or just regular operation of the car. There have been lots of cases regarding this issue and i want to help bring attention to it before there is a problem.please email me back as soon as possible.
I was hearing a sound coming from front of the truck. It sounded like rocks in a tin can but it was not all the time. Had it checked and they told me it was the 4 wheel drive trying to engage on its own.i hardly use the 4x4 system. I had to have the line replaced.
When driven at highway speed for a while then coming to a stop the truck vibrates, shakes and idles roughly then stalls. It has been diagnosed by ford as defective variable cam timing solenoids which have been replaced twice without fixing the problem. It continues to stall when at a stop or when starting out from a stop, like when crossing an intersection it dies in traffic suddenly. The check engine light is lit and it gets progressively worse until it is not reliably drivable
I started my 2016 f150 platinum ecoboost in the morning around (6:30am) on 6/18/21. The glass was fogged up from the night air so i turned rear and front defogger on to clear my glass and smell a instant strong burning smell and a loud pop which sent glass flying from the rear window. I immediately turned the vehicle off and got out. This is a common issue with ford trucks and thankfully i didnā€™t have my kids in the back seat as they would have been hit by flying glass.
2016 f-150 3.5l 4x4 ecoboost with max towing package - vehicle suddenly and w/o warning caught fire and engulfed in flames within 10 minutes of hearing a humming sound and then seeing white or gray smoke. We were towing our 28 ft travel trailer for the first time in about 4-5 months, 30 minutes into the trip on a flat highway. Pulled over within 1 min of hearing the noise/ seeing smoke. Upon exiting, saw flames peeking out from under front of truck. Flames hit the cab within probably 3 mins later. We had towed a 28 ft travel trailer with this vehicle extensively and comfortably with few issues (except throttle body failure around 30k miles). Regular oil changes and maintenance. Full pa state inspection 3 months prior, oil change 2k miles prior. No outstanding recall work to our knowledge. No unusual handling, smells, leaking fluids that we noticed, or warning lights. Fire investigator's best guess was sudden transmission issue because it completely burned away but we'll unfortunately never really know.
While traveling on interstate at a speed of 80 mph, my 2016 f-150 eco boost with 50,000 miles went into limp mode due to a faulty electronic throttle body causing me to lose the ability to accelerate and worrying for my family's life as i was decelerating on a busy 4 lane freeway trying to find a way to pull over without being smashed.
My 2016 ford f150 with engine block heater caught fire today 14 february 2020 at 11:12 am. It was moving and caught fire when i parked the truck
Driving normally on four lane divided state road when warnings about various system failures came up on dash (traction control, braking, charging system).power steering stopped working first then truck shut down.got jump started thinking battery or alternator and truck drove normally for a few minutes then same scenario repeated.
While driving around 15mpg uphill start assist warning came on then downhill start assist flashed followed by check engine light and wrench light and sudden loss of power. Engine was still running but no accelerator control.
Ford has a known issue with the master brake cylinder failing in these trucks. Mine has clearly failed due to this issue, and my entire family was nearly killed on the interstate as a result. I took the truck to the dealership and they agree that this is the same master brake cylinder issue that ford has acknowledged as a known issue. But magically my truck is not included as part of the recall even though its a 2016 ford f-150 3.5 ecoboost built in kansas city. All theparameters for the recall seem to match my vehicle precisely but yet somehow itmagically is not included in the recall. Ford refuses to take accountability for this major safety issue and now i am out $500 out of my own pocket because ford refuses to step up and take care of this known safety hazard for me. Ford should be ashamed of themselves and with how many new complaints i see filed here weekly for this same issue the nhtsa should also step up and force ford to expand the recall because clearly not all affected vehicles have been recalled at this point. I cannot say it enough, this is a major safety concern. Me and my entire family were nearly killed as a result of this issue. It is appalling to me that ford and the nhsta have not done more to rectify this very dangerous and deadly problem. Next steps i see in the near future is a class action lawsuit against ford for ignoring this well known issue. This should have never happened and ford should take accountability for this problem but they are refusing because it isn't part of the "recall". Shame on you ford!
Attempting to accelerate, no power. Vehiclewas on 2 lane highway with concrete barriers on both sides and no shoulder. I was going approx 70 mph. I had our toddler, new born and wife in then vehicle. Vehicle slowed faster than i have ever felt before. Cars and trailers slamming on brakes. I'm assuming this did not trigger my brake lights and it was almost dark. So incredibly dangerous not to mention scary. Dash warnings indicated no traction control, hill decent or abs. Dealer is replacing the throttle body. This was a catastrophic and dangerous flaw.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While the vehicle was parked and unoccupied with the engine running, the vehicle accelerated independently without warning. While the gear shifter was still in the park position, the vehicle crashed into the contact's boat. There were no injuries. The contact stated that the gear shifter failed to move out of park. The contact powered off the engine. The vehicle was restarted and it operated normally. There was no warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 18,000.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled intermittently. The vehicle was taken to seekins ford lincoln (1625 seekins ford dr, fairbanks, ak 99701, 907-459-4000) where it was diagnosed that the throttle body fractured. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle exhibited the same symptoms as listed in ford program number: 16b32. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the contact did not qualify for the program. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.
Cruise control will not disengage. Driving down highway with cruise control on and when i put foot on brake to slow down, cruise control does not stop and accelerator begins to speed up. Pulled over and had to keep foot on brake as accelerator continued to increase while stopped. Turned off vehicle, did not disengage. Turned off engine again and stomped on gas, break petals. Finally cruise control disengaged.
While driving on a busy highway with no warning my f-150 lost power.when this happened the drive power decreased by about 95%, and warnings appeared on the dashboard. These warnings included: service advance trac, hill descent fault, see manual, airbag fault, and the service wrench. The engine idledroughly and the vehicle had to be turned off. We restarted and the same issues occurred so we parked the vehicle.
First time inwas driving in town, flat road no hills going about 35 on a turn, when my truck just stopped accelerating abruptly and was barely creeping along..multiple warning lights starting with hill assist came on. I got to side of road shut truck off and restarted indicators came back, so i started again to take to brother in laws house and it happened again.called dealer they said take it out see if check engine lights come on. I take off on highway got to about 45 accelerating to 55 and again is just stops abruptly, lights flash again, i have no power no acceleration, only this time i have traffic near me a semi almost took me out because there is no warning when it happens.check engine ligh comes on. My brother in law notice the temp gauge stayed cold and transmission temp was low, also i wasn't pulling anything at the time so transmission wasn't hot.i baught truck used less than a yr ago and have just over 40k miles on it. I have only pulled a popup camper with it so far. Noticed this seems to be a known problem for this truck. Will be contacting dealer today. I have included photos of warning flights that pop up.
I had the wrench symbol appear on my dash display and the vehicle stopped, lost power while i was in traffic. It is now at the dealer that sold it to me, but this is scary situation to lose power while driving.
Driving 60 mph hour and vehicle suddenly lost all power. This happened twice. The vehicle hill decent light and some other warning lights would come on and the vehicle would shake violently. It would then lose all power and i had to coast off to the side, turn the vehicle off, wait 30 seconds, and restart. It would then go about a 1/2 mile and do it again. I purchased the vehicle as a certified vehicle a month earlier.the electronic throttle body has failed. However, the dealership was having issues replicating the issue and they were back ordered on the part.the vehicle has 29500 miles on it. This is dangerous as i could be rear ended. Believe me, if that happens, lawsuits will fly!
Related to tsb-16-0139. While driving: hill start assist unavailable message; service advancetrac message. Wrench icon, traction icon, and check engine icon displayed. Truck went into limp mode. Rough idle, would not accelerate until turned off and back on. Dealership diagnosed to replace throttle bodies. Would not cover under extended warrantyi believe there may have been a recall on some f150s, but it didn't include my month/year of manufacture, to the best of my knowledge.
I went to the ford dealership & they're the ones who told me about the recall on the vehicle after i had purchased it. They made up excuses as to why they couldn't fix the problem, according to them they didn't have parts to resolve the recall issue & to come back another day. Not to worry that my vehicle is fine. I've noticed my truck is malfunctioning when i try to slow down & starts shaking making it hard to break on time. I now put in the vin number to their website so i can schedule a service & the website tells me there's not a recall on my vehicle. I uploaded a image of what it says so there's evidence of their negligence. Not only did they sell me a truck with mechanical issues guaranteeing me that the truck was in phenomenal conditions but now they're also refusing to fix it.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving low speeds, the engine shuddered and the vehicle hesitated to accelerate. The vehicle was taken to cleveland ford (2496 s. Lee hwy, cleveland, tn), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The manufacturer was notified, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 45,000. Consumer stated truck also has numerous signal losses on tac satellite radio signal. Consumer took it to the dealer several times and was told there was no problem.
The steering on my 2016 ford f-150 went out while driving almost making me crash i lost control of my truck the steering wheel was really hard for me to turn luckily i was able to make it home safe i have a hole bunch of light on my dash coming on say steering assist fault service steering
I erratically simultaneously receive a warning that adaptive cruise control is inoperative & collision avoidance is inoperative. Both indicate sensor is blocked when it is clearly not the case. Also receive arbitrary collision warnings. Both occur with no other vehicles in the vicinity. The systems works fine most of the time but then the problem appears "out of nowhere". Seems to be occurring in all ford models with adaptive cruise/collision warning. May happen on the interstate or in town. There are hundreds of reports of this condition on the internet. Stopping, shutting down, and restarting will "fix" the problem for an hour or so or maybe even a few days until it occurs again. Again, the sensor is not blocked. I can't find a safety recall or technical service bulletin for this problem.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle stalled and the check engine and traction control warning lights illuminated. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the roadside and was able to start it after multiple attempts. The failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the throttle body failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 9,300.
While driving on the highway at approx. 60mph my ford 2016 f150 3.5l v6 lurched and stalled, experiencing a complete loss of power, throttle control and acceleration.this was the 7th throttle malfunction my f150 has experienced in the past 5 months.each malfunction exactly the same.since i am now forced to only travel in the far right lanes for safety, i had enough remaining momentum to veer my f150 off of the highway and bring it to a complete stop.with some effort my f150 struggled but was able to restart and traveling a low speeds i made it safely home.due to the dangerous nature of this incident i have taken my f150 to the dealership twice so far.ford believes the issue is the electronic throttle body, but they have been unable to fix the problem.most recently i received my f150 from the dealer only 4 short days ago where they replaced the electronic throttle body, but it had no effect, the problem still exists.the malfunction only occurs during the most dangerous periods of driving, while on the highway/freeway.this malfunction puts the safety of the drivers and their families at risk unnecessarily.i have avoided collisions only by driving and staying in the far right lane at all times.it is only a matter of time before someone else experiences this problem traveling at 65mph on the highway and due to a sudden loss of power and complete acceleration causes a significant traffic accident.i hope this never happens but it is my grave and real concern for my own welfare every time i drive my 2016 f150.
Hill descent control fault/ service advancetrac warning suddenly turned on. Alternated w service light. But i was just driving home from work on a 70 degree day on a dry paved road decelerating from a 40mph zone to a 30 mph zone up a slight incline.i wasn't using hill descent and traction was fine. The disturbing part was the vehicle suddenly ran rough and had no power. I could not get it to run well enough pull it over out of the traffic lane. An on off cycle returned function for a few seconds and i got around the corner before the fault occurred again. With no hills the last block i got to my driveway where a longer off period returned the vehicle to function. This type of sudden power loss could cause an accident.
Adaptive cruise control braking issue.my new 2016 ford f150 platinum edition pick up truck will automatically brake hard when passing some large trucks while operating in adaptive cruise control.the lane ahead of me was clear with no vehicles in sight in my lane each time this happened.the large trucks i passed were on my right and not in my lane or even close to the lane markers.the large trucks did not have anything hanging over into my lane.these dangerous braking events happened while i was driving on very good dry highways and freeways in arizona.i have no stickers or after market items on my new f150 truck.this hard automatic braking happened to me on four different occasions during the month of march.in each of the four braking events i was traveling between 65 and 75 mph on straight high quality roads in arizona. I was almost rear-ended the last time it happened so i'm no longer using cruise control.as of today 4/8 my truck is at the morgan hill ford store in morgan hill calif for inspection of this dangerous problem.
My 2016 f-150 plarinum with adaptive cruise control, runs up behind vehicles on occasions then brakes hard. If the other vehicle is a semi, as you attempt to pass him with adaptive cruise on, the car brakes hard and slows down on occasions. In addition to this problem, on 5 different occasions when coming to a bend in the road, the steering gets very stiff as if the power steering is inoperative. The is very briefly before the steering returns to a very sensitive steering , also very brief. The vehicle at this point is in a under steer condition which it corrects itself. This has occurred at least 6 times. My selling ford dealer has twice checked the programing with 0 results. No codes- no problems when they test drive it. The vehicle has 3550 miles and i'm getting scared to drive it. This first problem is identical to the 2015 ford f-150 problem. According to my selling dealer, my vehicle which i purchased 2/19/16 was built towards the end of last year, but my dealer states this has no bearing on my alleged cruise problems. My selling dealer is two rivers ford in mount juliet, tennessee. An additional vehicle at their dealership has been reported by one of their salesmen to have the same problem to management, and the problem exists today is my understanding. The speed at which these problems arise is varied and on at least one occasion i was almost rear ended by a semi who was coming up behind me when the brakes applied themselves.
I was driving down the highway and my truck completely shut off i managed to pull to the side of the road and got it started again. It did it again down the road. I made it to work hoping that it was just a glitch. It did it again on my way home nearly causing a collision, all the warning lights came on and the truck stated up again. It did it several times and is a big safety concern for me because i have my family in my vehicle most of the time. I did further research and several other people has had the same issue. My question is why ford has not issue a recall for this problem. Is everyone waiting for it to be a fatality or someone end up seriously injured. Someone needs to address this problem. Thousands of drives safety is at risk because of this
Speed controlincludes systems and devices intended to control (accelerate) the speed of the vehicle to the driver's intent such as the accelerator pedal, throttle control cables, linkages, actuators, electronic control units and software, cruise control system actuators and deactivating systems, and other components and systems that may interfere with the speed control
I have a 2016 ford f150.4 times now the auto breaking system engaged for no reason.3 of the times i was driving in cruise control down a straight section of highway 80 going to lake tahoe, the auto breaking system engaged for no reason while passing a semi truck.the latest auto breaking episode almost killed us, we were driving back from lake tahoe on hwy 80, (cruise control was not no), when we were passing a semi truck on a curve in the two lane highway going about 70 miles per hour when the auto breaking system engaged for no reason and slowed our truck down form 70 to about 35 miles per hour in just 1-2 seconds....i was not able to override by flooring the accelerator for at least 2-4 seconds....a semi truck behind us came within inches from rear ending us!!this issue needs to be addressed by ford.its a huge safety issue!!
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving at an unknown speed, the throttle body failed and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken to bill pierre ford inc (11525 lake city way ne, seattle, wa 98125) and the throttle body was replaced. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 38,738. The vin was unknown.
I have a critical safety issue with the 2016 f150 truck i bought from cavalier ford, chesapeake va.the issue is the 6r80 automatic transmission unexpectedly changes gears while driving.in my case the truck down shifted from high gear to low gear on theinterstate while driving about 70 miles per hour.i was fortunate no other carswere near me.my truck almost came to a stop, no brake lights displayed.this occurred the week on jul 6 2021. It has occurred multiple times since than as well. I had the battery checked, showed bad, and bought a new one jul 9th.i also had the "check engine" light scanned at autozone.it revealed codes p0706/707, ie range sensor inside the transmission.i called cavalier for an appt (aug 11th almost a month away!!!),informed it would be $140 for a diagnostic!!it was free at autozone. I also had another free scan done at logan's auto repair onjul 22nd, having codes p0702/705/706/707/1921, all pointing to the range sensor in the tranny.i spoke with cavalier representative nicole on jul 16th, no help, and also left service mgr. Cathy hunt. A voicemail on jul 23rd explaining my dilemma.she has not returned my call.my status now, i have a 2016 f150 ford truck, i urgently need to work and daily errands, ie grandkids.there was a recall on this issue on the 2011/12 f150s.how come not now, its a major safety issue, and i see a lot of these trucks around.i wanted to convey this to ms hunt.summary...the motor in this truck blew up at approx 39000 miles,and ford did replace it.now, at 79000 miles the transmission is also gone out. Since my extended warranty of 75000 just expired, i need some assistance from eithercavalier or the ford plant.i need a reliable truck for work and taking careof the grandkids.if no one has reached out to me my cob jul 28th 2021,a safety complaint will be sent in to the national highway traffic safety administration...thank you
When driving the vehicle on freeways with adaptive cruise control enabled, if the vehicle approaches a vehicle in an adjacent lane (typically a larger vehicle like a truck with a trailer, semi, or tanker) the collision aid activates and heavily applies the brakes. If someone is following close behind me, as has happened in at least 4 instances, the individual will need to stop and make an emergency maneuver to avoid colliding. In both cases, the braking only lasted momentarily but was enough to reduce the vehicles speed 20-30 mph during that time. The vehicle has been inspected by ford but they have said that there is nothing that they can do. For the time being, we keep this feature disabled until ford can get this issue resolved. There have been recalls for previous years but ours is not included. Because of this ford has said there's nothing they can do on multiple attempts to get the problem resolved.
Was driving straight down a highway. Truck warning lights started appearing on the dash hill descent control fault, hill assist fault, service advance trac. Turn signals would not work and gas pedal was unresponsive. Truck slowed to almost a complete stop and began shaking violently as the engine was about to die.
Intermittent failure of reverse gear to engage. On multiple occasions the reverse gear fails to engage after multiple attempts to shift into and out of gear. This appears to be an electronic control issue with the transmission shifting control as it eventually resolves itself after numerous attempts. The problem is bothinconvenience and safety as backing up is often necessary to execute a normal turn around. An accident resulting in two insurance claims resulted from this defect; i was attempting to backup in my home driveway and there was delay in the reverse gear engagement; not fully comprehending what was going on, i pressed on the gas to proceed while reverse was not engaging. Then the truck suddenly engaged in reverse and i lurched backward hitting another vehicle before i could apply the brake. Total damages for both vehicles exceeded $15,000.
Truck experienced multiple sensor failures over several months that reset.failures include car stalling in intersection, blind spot monitoring, back up sensors, car shutting off and turning back on on its own.car had to be powered down and shut off for 30 seconds before being allowed to restart.most recent failure resulted in truck horn going off as well as car turning off while going 35-40 mph then restarting on its own - car surged forward after it restarted itself.at the same time hazards coming on, doors unlocking and locking and rear tailgate opening.after bringing car to a complete stop, shut off car and it turned itself back on (horn went off, hazards went on, doors unlocked and locked, and rear tail gate released).towed to dealership for repairs and they were unable to recreate the problem.
Almost exactly the same experience as incident numbers 11090030, 11063919, and 11048673.there may be others, but, i didn't go any further.i was driving on a bridge without any safety shoulders and the vehicle suddenly lost all power, "hill start assist not available" indicator came on, "service advance trac" indicator came on, and "see manual" indicator came on with the wrench symbol.after nearly being rear-ended by another car, i was able to coast to an off ramp and pull over.the truck was shaking violently.i shut it off and then restarted it and was able to get back over the bridge but then the same exact scenario happened again on the other side.on the way home, it happened a couple more times but i was able to get it home.i scheduled a service appointment at a ford dealer to take the truck in on monday.the vehicle has about 43,000 miles on it.as i mentioned earlier, i was almost rear-ended by another vehicle when this occurred, so, this is an extremely dangerous malfunction.
As i was driving about 40 mph, the truck suddenly decelerated to almost a stand still. Two messages appeared on the dash board info system. Service needed for hill assist and advance trac, or something similar. I had to drive home, half mile, at a walking pace which was as fast as the truck would go. There was no warning. This is a deadly flaw.how could you not have ford f150 in your database?
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle accelerated and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was placed in neutral and coasted to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the dealer (russ-milne ford, clinton township, michigan) where it was diagnosed that the accelerator pedal was stuck to the carpet. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but did not provide a clear explanation of why it occurred. The failure mileage was approximately 66,000.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate without warning and lost power. The vehicle restarted after one attempt, but the failure recurred twice. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 4,900. The vin was not available.
Vehicle was in motion merging on to interstate i-26 at 60 mph during afternoon rush hour traffic in charleston, south carolina, when it unexpectly and without warning down shifted from high gear to low gear while driving. Vehicle has 66k miles on it. Called ford customer service to complain and was refered to dealer. No resolution.
As i was driving down a major interstate i94 while changing lanes my 2016 f150 3.5 ecoboost entered limp mode in front of a semi i just recently passed.the semi had to slam on his brakes and i had to swerve to theside of the road to avoid a collision.the service advancetrac and wrench/service light was lit up on the dash. The vehicle would not move.the truck ran but when the gas pedal was pressed the engine sputtered and wouldnt move.
While in motion, the adaptive cruise control and collision warning system will activate and apply the brakes with force for no reason.at 70 mph, this is quite dangerous and has almost caused several accidents.i have since deactivated the adaptive cruise.the same issue occurred with a 2015 model i had and was never fixed by ford.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving approximately 5 mph and attempting to make a u turn, the vehicle did not respond when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The contact stated that the failure occurred approximately 25 times in a three month period. The vehicle was taken to the dealer approximately six times, but they could not duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 2,600.
While in park with the driver door open, truck off, radio on, confirmed shifter was in park position. I accidentally engaged manual transmission control in front of and gear selector at thumb position of shifter as both are unavoidable. As i was getting out to reach something in the back seat, truck released park and rolled away.in addition, while driving in d (drive) thumb accidentally made contact with (-) control and quickly decelerated to a quick stalled stop, beginning at 50 mph down to a stop in the road in less than one quarter of a mile. M (manual) selector is an option on the panel, however, both these events happened while in p and d, respectively.in park the truck was in a stall and stopped. In d the truck was traveling at 50 mph.this is a software malfunction that is allowing an override of braking while in park and rapid shifting at the touch of one control that sits under the drivers thumb.
Driving down interstate 80 at 70mph and track assist error, then hill start assist unavailable error, wrench light (see manual), engine light.i depress the gas pedal and there is no response, the engine rpm does not increase.i have to pull off to the side of the interstate, towing a boat, luckily not in construction zone ahead with concrete barriers on both sides.turn off and restart, the engine / rpm still do not respond.turned off for 5 minutes while i make a call.turn on again and rough idle but the engine responds and i am able to drive the remaining 15 miles to home.exact thing happened again 4 days later on 2 lane, hilly, country highway without a shoulder.i stopped in the road, hazards on, turned off/on again, didn't respond to gas. Wait 5 minutes turned on again and was able to get to home.
When adaptive cruise control on and passing a semi sometimes the truck brakes sharply slowing down
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at 55 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate without warning and lost power. The hill decent warning light illuminated. The failure recurred several other times. The vehicle was taken to the cella ford dealer located at 3210 doctor m.l.k. Jr blvd, new bern, nc 28562; (252) 638-4011 where the dealer was not able to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted and was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 7,700. The vin was not available.
2016 f150 with the 2.7l ecoboost randomly dies after startup. Sometimes it will die while in motion almost causing an accident. There's no stored codes for the dealer. It's been in the shop 6 times total. The first time they put a crankcase vent sensor and then the 2nd time sparkplugs. It's dies and gone into limp mode multiple times but the dealer can't duplicate the problem so they can't fix it. It started at 9,000 miles and it now has 14,000 miles. I'm pretty sure it's the throttle body but they won't replace it without a code. It has happened randomly from march 2017 until today 8-13-17. I also have a recording saved on my snap-on scan tool of the parameters at the time it went into limp mode.
While driving on a highway, vehicle's low engine oil pressure illuminated, vehicle's speed dropped to coasting level and had to pull to side of highway with no ability to accelerate.this is an extremely dangerous situation where there is loss of power and the engine would not restart.oil level was checked and was near the high mark.the vehicle has 316 miles on it and had to be towed.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving approximately 65 mph, "see service manual, traction control not available, check engine" illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle lost power and the accelerator pedal did not respond. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road to a complete stop as it began to shake. When the vehicle was turned off and restarted, all the warning indicators went away and then illuminated again. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. Rich ford (8601 lomas blvd, albuquerque, nm 87112) was contacted via phone. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 49,500.
The truck was set on cruise control when i accelerated to pass a moving vehicle on a freeway. The truck would not stop accelerating when i removed my foot from the gas pedal; i had to break hard to control the speed. As soon as i removed my foot from the break, the car engine revved up again and quickly accelerated from 70 to 96 mph even though i was not touching the gas pedal. When i stopped the vehicle and put the truck in park, the engine continued to idle at a high speed. The diagnostic reader produced the error code "p068a - ecm/pcm power relay de-energized performance - too early". I took the truck to the dealership and they were able to reproduce the problem. To fix the issue, a new battery was installed.
On friday, march 31st, 2017 i was doing 65 mph on a freeway when i felt a jolt from the vehicle, all engine warning lights came on and i lost all throttle power to the engine via the gas pedal, i was left to helplessly coast to a stop over on the shoulder. I shut off the engine the restarted and was able to move off, then about 2 miles later at 35 mph the same thing happened again. I switched off and restarted and was then able to drive the 30 miles back home. I am taking it into ford who are claiming no knowledge of this fault, but this is not true as there are many other people who have experienced the same thing as i found out when i found these urlshttp://www.carcomplaints.com/ford/f-150/2016/engine/engine_stalls_dies_while_driving.shtmlhttp://www.carcomplaints.com/ford/f-150/2016/engine/engine.shtmlit would appear to be the result of a bad electronic throttle body cover which ford have not bothered to either acknowledge is a problem or endeavored to fix, so i am simply facing the prospect of them replacing the existing one with the same one that could fail again at any time as has been noted by other owners who have experienced this very frightening situation. Given the seriousness and potentially lethal consequences of this i demand ford issue a recall and have this problem properly seen to. I already have the matter in the hands of my attorney and will, at the very least, be bringing an action against them under the nys lemon laws. It's barely 7 months old with about 7,000 miles on the clockas far as i'm concerned this vehicle is a total liability and unfit for purpose and serious action needs to be taken by ford, firstly to acknowledge it as a known problem and then secondly instigating a recall to effectively correct the problem by upgrading and fixing the part at fault.
When driving in morning sun, there are thousand of small specks that appear in the windshield making it extremely difficult to see through. Picture attached of this condition by pointing truck (not moving) into morning sun. Windshield is absolutely clean inside and out and these specks are only present in morning sun. Ford indicates this is normal on all their trucks.
I was sitting in my truck i had started it turned heat on as it was 40 degrees out. Was replying to a text message so we hadn't even moved when not 5min after starting the vehicle i hear a loud bang and smelt electrical burning smell and thankfully the windows didn't completely shatter and fall out on my children in the back seat, but both panels on each side of the sliding window were completely cracked and shattering.
Fire and lots of smoke inside my truck when i used my remote start inside my garage ...dropped back seat, pulled carpet back and witness and recorded a burnt wire hanging down across rear window that kept burning and never stopped/popped a fuse or relay until i shut down the remote start. Ford dealership said it was the rear defroster that automatically turns on when using remote start ...replaced entire back window and wire harness split cost with ford not under warranty '.
After using my winshield wiper on 09/08/2018, they do not turn off. Any time the windshield wipers are engaged, whether the vehicle is in motion or stationary, they fail to properly turn off after use and continue to stay on for an unknown period of time or until vehicle is turned off, where they continue once the vehicle is restarted. This has become a distraction while driving, especially during conditions that do not require the use of wipers or when the use of wipers causes a larger issue by further smearing substances that cannot be safely removed by them such as oily liquids or other substances that require a different way of removal. There is also the risk of wipers not shutting off during circumstances, such as during a carwash where they can be permanently damaged and rendered inoperable when actually needed during inclement weather.
Windshield washer non-operative at 5-15 f temperature while using winter washer fluid. No change after driving 30 miles.
Windshield wipers started locking up in cycle, full speed or intermittent mode. Replaced $150.00 wiper motor myself, cured problem. Vehicle only had 48,000 miles, could have stopped working completely at any time, very dangerous.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. When the contact attempted to roll down the front passenger and driver side windows, the windows would suddenly go up. The contact called koons ford of baltimore (located at 6970 security blvd, windsor mill, md 21244, 410-298-3800), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 33,000. The vin was unknown.

Windshield washers freeze up and become inoperable when temperature drops below 32f even when using rain-x.even if they thaw out from engine warm up they can refreeze within a few miles of driving when the temperature is below 32f.this is dangerous when the windshield washers fail during periods of snow and road slush if below freezing because the windshield can not be cleaned.
The top track of the rear window that holds the smaller sliding window in place became completely detached from the back wall of the cabin. The small window was being held in place by the lower track only. This caused the top track and the sliding window to lean into the cabin away from the main rear window. It created an air gap between the main window and the small window. The vehicle was not in motion. The vehicle was not damaged in any other way. It appears that the adhesive holding the track in place simply failed over time. In my opinion this created a safety issue. If the truck had been rear-ended, i think it is possible that the top track and window could have become completely detached and caused injuries to passengers in the truck.
The back windshield shattered after getting into truck. Temperature was about60 degrees in the evening with very little sun light. There were no foreign objects found near back windshield or inside truck.
When temperatures are at freezing, door will not close.windshield wiper fluid also freezes even though rated for -40 degrees.repair was made by ford to door latch but problem continues.typically, car has been parked in cold weather.see job #2 on attached documentation for latest repair attempt.many complaints from customers on forums.this is a major safety issue!!!!
Driving with rear defrost on no more than 10 minutes and i heard a load pop. I pulled over and seen my rear window shattered. I saw no impact marks from anything. Ford needs to fix my window. Ive had the truck for 31 days now and this happened
Vehicle wipers will not turn off despite being off on the wiper column.
This evening on 1/28/2021 at 6:55pm, while parked at a shell gas station in st charles, il about to get gasoline, the entire back window suddenly exploded. There was a very loud bang, followed by a burning smell. The rear defroster was not turned on, the inside cabin was set to 72 degrees farenheit. I was the only one in the vehicle but i kept thinking, what would have happened if my children were in the back seat. There was glass strewn about the inside and exterior of the vehicle. I have called the shell station located at 2500 e main st, st charles, il in an attempt to acquire the video surveillance which should show that there was no outside damage or impact. Additionally i was on the phone with a friend at the time who also heard the explosion. The vehicle was completely stationary.
Ford has just recalled 700,00 vehicles of various 2020 models due to the rear-view camera, which features a circuit board that can be faulty resulting in "blank or distorted images" on the screen.i am submitting this complaint as i believe this issue affects other model years, specifically the 13th generation f-150. I have a 2016 f-150 that is experiencing the same symptoms as described in the current recall and of which i have reviewed several complaints posted across multiple forums.this issue present a significant safety concern as visibility behind the vehicle is lost when the camera malfunctions.i have included an image of my camera when vehicle is placed in reverse.i am requesting that the nhtsa encourage ford to expand their recall to include all affected models as they must be aware the issue is broader that what is being communicated.i am including the links which include the comments of several consumers that are experiencing these same symptoms. You will see these discussions go back several years.https://www.f150forum.com/f118/backup-camera-intermittent-issues-415191/https://www.f150ecoboost.net/threads/rear-view-camera-problems.5086/https://www.f150forum.com/f118/bad-backup-camera-366868/https://www.f150forum.com/f118/rear-360-camera-issues-453187/

While driving in a remote area no trees, people or anything that could have hit the window, when the rear windshield exploded.the evidence seems to point towards the rear defrost heating elements getting too hot.its important to note that the heat defrost was not on at the time. Outside temperatures 55 degrees and sunny.the fix is not complete yet but i have an appointment at safelite auto to get the windshield replaced.i called ford, they said that it is not covered under warranty and there's nothing that they can do. The total cost of the repair is $679.00.
I turned on the rear defroster & the cabin started smoking.i pull over to get out to breathe, one minute later the back windshield shatters completely.

The vehicle was off, not in use, parked in the owners driveway all morning. As we were about to leave, the children open the back door, got in and shut the door, when the door shut, the back window exploded outward. All except the middle motorized window part shattered. The four corners of the window had exploded.
While entering freeway, i attempted to open sunroof (panoramic dual panel) and hear a loud bang followed by terrible grinding and cracking noises. As the glass panel retracted, a piece of plastic from the tracks shot out and struck me in the head while driving. After exiting the freeway i tried to close the sunroof. It would close about 80%, stop, then fully retract. Due to rain, i immediately went to dealer to get the roof looked at. Ford dealer was able to get the sunroof to the vent position and diagnosed broken tracks.
My auto driver side view mirror defaults to a position which i cannot see behind me every time i use the vehicle.i was told by the dealership that ford may have intentionally set the mirror to behave this way.i forget to adjust the side view mirrors with each entry and realize the mirror is not adjusted after i am already backing, so i have to slam my brakes to stop the vehicle so that i can adjust the mirror to back safely.
Rear window shattered after rear defrost was on after about 5 minutes
Electric system went down, no lights,turn signals,horn wipers, etc. (radio kept working)engine started and drove home very carefully
Concerned about windshield not being thick/strong enough in 2016 f150s due to cameras/sensors behind the glass. I have a 2016 ford f150 platinum, purchased new in december, 2015. Current mileage is under 4k miles. This vehicle has the 701a package, which includes lane keeping and 360 degree camera systems. Within one month of purchase, the windshield was chipped due to a small rock hitting it while driving on the highway. This chip developed into an 18" crack within 24 hours. The windshield was replaced by safelite with an oem replacement - the exact same windshield as was installed by the factory. Now a month later, a small rock hit the windshield and again chipped this new windshield - and within 24 hours, that chip turned into a 12" crack across the driver's sight line of the windshield. I believe this should be investigated.
I got in my truck this morning 5/24/2020 closed my drivers door and heard a loud pop like a gun shot. I looked back and my rear glass exploded. Glass went everywhere. The truck had not been driven anywhere for 3 days. The truck has 42000 miles. The truck had 38 miles when i purchased it. This happened again in 2018. I went and got in the truck and started it. I heard a loud pop and the sliding glass in the rear window exploded. The truck had under 20000 miles. Ford would not cover it. I have read articles that state the problem may be the defroster getting to hot and shattering the glass. All i know is this is the second time in two years for this truck. The truck was not moving each time.
Doors do no open, freeze shut in cold weather or doors will not latch/lock if they open at all. This is a known issue with ford and had been unsuccessfully addressed in technical service bulletins (tsbs)issued by ford. There needs to be a permanent solution.also the windshield washer sprayer freezes regularly. This is also a know issue that has not been resolved. It is dangerous to operate a vehicle when the windshield cannot be cleared of road spray, obscuring vision,
Same issue as report 11308430 - activated remote start with truck in driveway; when i came out to drive away, the rear windshield was shattered. The climate settings are set to the factory default for remote start. There was no indication of the defroster connection issue mentioned because this was a warm summer day and the default setting indicates that the defroster should not have engaged and the dealership saw no evidence that it did. The truck is certified pre-owned, but ford claimed this to be an issue with the glass, which is not covered under this warranty, thus ford was unwilling to provide assistance with the repair cost.
I remote started the truck while parked in my driveway first thing in the morning, while i got my son ready for daycare. The weather conditions was raining and roughly 35 degrees. Once my son was loaded into the car seat i closed his door and heard the window crack. I looked back to see the back rear windshield had spider webbed and shattered. The glass was blown from the inside out on the driver side. I have photos of were the defrost strip had arced/separated causing the window to shatter. I looked online and saw several otherexamples of this on the exact same model of truck. I was recommended to prevent this in the future was to pull the defrost fuse.
While driving in winter conditions with a dirty windshield i noticed that my sprayers were not spraying washer fluid.i assumed that it was out of fluid, however when i pulled into the gas station to fill it the tank was almost full.i topped off the tank and it is still not working.i am unable to spray the washer fluid which is a significant safety concern in the winter because i cannot clear my windshield when salt / snow are sprayed up from other cars.
Rear defrost was turned on and within seconds the cabin was engulfed in a white smokeand strong electrical fire smell. As i was pulling over, the rear window exploded.
Rear glass exploded.rear de-frost turned on, electrical circuit issue caused rear glass to over heat and burn up, along with cold external weather causing very hot glass explosion while driving sending glass pieces everywhere.glass particles very fine and caused scratches and bleeding.
The rear window shattered when defogger was turned on. The vehicle was in motion in the sawgrass expressway ramp. You can smell something burning electronics/cables. It sounded like a gunshot and i almost lost control in the highway. The driver behind me had a concerning face also and accelerated out of the area.
On march 5, 2019, the rear window shattered without impact.the condition was noticed shortly after beginning driving.outside temperature was 45 degrees.
This morning started car and turned on rear window defrost. Left car for 5 minutes to warm up. When i came back cab was filled with smoke. I cut engion. When smoke cleared i saw the left and right rear window panels were smashed. After googling this it turns out to be a very common problem. The rear window defrost mechanism overheats and shatters windows.

The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. When the auto start and defroster were activated, the contact detected an abnormal odor of smoke. The contact stated that the rear window shattered and a sticker on the window melted. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact called dorian ford (35900 gratiot ave, clinton twp, mi 48035, (586) 792-4100) and informed them of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 44,000. *ln
Back/rear window shattered for no apparent reason. Vehicle was stationary and un occupied while parked on a city street. Law enforcement initially responded to investigate criminal mischief. However, it was determined that the window was not broke by an individual or by a physical object. Review of surveillance cameras verified that no one broke the window and that the window broke on its own.
The contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. During below freezing temperatures, the windshield wipers would not emit fluid. The failure occurred without warning. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 7,000.
As we were driving on the way to school, the back windshield exploded with a loud bang. The defrostingwas not on. It was in the low 50s outside, so not too cold. There absolutely no impact of any kind. Also right after it happened there was a strong smell of burnt electronic in the truck, that lasted a long time.

Wipers will not turn off! can be driving or sitting still.
Was in neutral and being pulled through touchless car wash. Prior to putting in gear to pull away i heard a loud bang. After looking in rear mirror seen my window all spidered. After i pulled out the bottom portion of window fell as the upper portion remained. This seems to spontaneously happen for no reason to the f150. I'm paying $412 out of pocket to have repaired. I reached out to ford and waiting for response. I believe the rear glass has a defect in the making and causes a serious risk to drivers that may get startled when driving and something serious happens. I have copy of accident report from gas station and picture of damage. No police report.
Remote started my 2016 f150, truck ran no more than 5 min. I was about ten feet away walking toward the vehicle, i heard a loud bang like a gun shot, starting looking around and found my rear slider window shattered. I never use the rear window defrost function. After researching this i found out when you remote start this vehicle it turns the defrost on. I have had a vehicles with rear window defrost, never had one do this. It was pretty expensive repair. Thankful my grandchildren were not in the rear seat at the time. ( vehicle was stationary ) this seems to be a common problem with these rear windows on these trucks.
I have two windows on my 2016 ford f 150.passenger side up and down windowmoon roof on the passenger sidethe two above mentioned cracks/stress are with in 18 inches of each other.the passenger up and down window is now cracked from left to right.
Rear window shattered while sitting in our driveway, stationary with no one in it.
On november 15 morning i started my 2016 ford f-150with remote start to let it warm up and went to get in and put the key in and i heard a loud bang and the back widow scattered
During freezing conditions, my factory washer fluid would not pump.it appeared frozen, as when the temperatures rose, it started working again.this happened with about 1000 miles on the truck, and still having the factory wiper fluid.
1.the wipers will not shut off.i had t pull the fuse to get them to stop.as a result, the wipers left several scratches across my windshield making it difficult to see.2.the drivers seat height adjustment does not fully extent to the full height similar to the passenger seal maximum height.as a short person this mikjes it difficult to see over the steering wheel.additionaly, the drivers and passengers seat heating and cooling systems do not work.
Washer fluid freezing within the line between the bottle and spray nozzle.although we are using what is rated as -27 degree fluid, the lines are freezing when the temp drops to around 13 degrees.this has caused a real safety hazard on three different occasion when trying to wipe away salt spray and all that happens is the window smears and i have had to pull off the road, get snow off the ground to help clear the windshield.i know two others that have the same make and model and they experience the same thing.ford has a technical service bulletin avail to their technicians to address the situation (tsp 16-0082) but i feel this should be included in a recall of these vehicles.
While driving to work strong elec smell and rear window exploded sounded like gun went off shattering window
After parking, shut my drivers side door and the rear windshield started to crack and fall apart. Noticed my rear defroster melted the rear window decal. After online research i believe i am having the same problem others drivers have had with a defective rear defroster that over heats the rear window and heat stresses it to a point where a simple door shutting action will be enough to crack and shatter the windshield.
While driving down street this cold morning to work.i heard a pop and a crack started across the windshield then another pop and the crack grew all the way across.
On 1/16/2020. I used my remote starter to start the 2016 ford f-150 3 minutes later i went out and smelled electrical wiring. I shut off the truck to look around. I then started the truck back up as soon as i did that the back window blew out.. Called safelite to replace it them on 1/21/20 they replaced it. Then when starting the truck at the safelite shop it blew out again. Called ford dealerships and none of them heard of it doing it.

I remote started my vehicle and a few minutes later i loaded my daughter into her carseat and began driving. I drove about 10 feet and stopped to get out when i realized i forgot my wallet inside. At that time, while the vehicle was stationary, i heard a loud smashing sound. I looked back into the direction the sound came from and saw that the entire back window was shattered and some glass had fallen onto my daughter. I contacted a local ford dealership and then ford motor company and neither company acknowledged my concern. Ford didn't even get any personal information from me before they disconnected my call.
We remote started the truck to let it warm up before heading off to school. Our oldest child grabbed his backpack and loaded up in his seat and said he smelled something burning in the back seat of the truck. Right after that he heard a loud popping sound and the back window of the truck shattered.if this had happened on the highway my kids could have been covered in glass. I believe the rear glass overheated and busted the window.luckily the vehicle was parked at the time under our carport and not in motion and the overheat did not result in a fire.

Windshield washer system will not pump fluid at temperatures below freezing even when using washer fluid rated for -30 degrees f.i recently was on a 1.5 hour trip with the outside temperature at about +20 degrees f.i needed to spray washer fluid on the windshield while driving and the liquid would not pump.after arriving at my destination and parking outside with no sun; i went to try the washers after letting the truck sit for 20 minutes; the washer worked fine.i pumped the container dry by repeatedly activating the washer to attempt to flush any old fluid out of the system.i then refilled the washer with -30 f rated fluid and pumped some of this through the system.after letting the truck sit overnight i tried using the washers while the outdoor ambient temperature was about +20f and again the washers would not pump fluid.i know the fluid is good, it is brand new and from a reputable supplier.the fluid is liquid in the washer fluid tank in the truck.something is wrong with the fluid dispensing system in this truck.i have also owned a 2015 ford f-150 pickup that exhibited this exact same problem.this is a huge safety issue when driving on wet winter roads.

My purchased my new truck in march 2016, owned it for 22 months and it currently has 22.235 miles. The truck has never been driven off-road or exposed to road salt. While getting my tires rotated at discount tire on january 20, 2018, the manager notified me that the lugs nuts could not be removed from the vehicle due to "swelling" of the lug nut outer cover. The oem design is a steel core nut with a pressed chrome or aluminum cap over it. The lug nuts swell over time as water and corrosion develop between the lug nut and cover. Discount tire had to use multiple size sockets to remove and reinstall the lug nuts due to non-uniform swelling of covers on the lug nuts. The following day i stopped at costco to check lug nut torque and the technician made the same comment about swelling and seeing a lot of ford vehicles with the same issue. Both stores stated that they are replacing lug nuts with new tire purchases or rotation on affected ford vehicles when the lug nuts are damaged. Additionally, the costco technician informed me of a "class-action" lawsuit that was filed in 2017 for the same issue.

The dealership service manager and advisor verified the pending lawsuit, but refused to replace the lug nuts under warranty. My service ticket states " found lug nuts are damaged due to improper socket used during removal/installation." discount tire stated that the store would not service my vehicle again without replacing the lug nuts due to improper lug nut sizing and socket fitment.

An unsafe, road hazard, a booby trap f150 truck. This is what i got from a ford dealer in covington. An unsafe truck.whose fault that the truck is on the roads? would like to find out. Ford comp. Or the dealer? we are an older, seniors, minority couple just trying to buy our first f150 truck.on dec. 31st 2018, bought a 2016 f150 fordtruck from this dealer. I was told that this truck is covered by a special ford comp. Take back the truck. I have his message on my voice mail.they will try to fix it full warranty being a buy back truck,including even the light bulbs, on top of the regular warranty. . said that vibration came from the wheels no, called them again, sent them few emails. I told them that i will go on a hunger strike in front of their dealer. Finally, the owner,math, called me to or they will give me another truck. They knew that the truck is not safe to drive on the streets. It's road hazard. And not talking about the smoke inside the cabin. You can die of suffocation. Drove another our or so to their dealer. Had erddyn, the seller guy to drive test the truck. After few minutes of drive, we noticed the vibration. He said is normal. Then it started to vibrate even worst. I asked him about the strong smoke smell. Did not say anything. Got back to the dealer, inspected the truck.the truck was in good shape. After 2 hours of talk with the owner, they offer me get me another truck. Older year model, inferior class. Did not accepted, so, they said hit the road. And left after wasting over 3 hours. So, here i am with a very unsafe truck driving on the roads. Sooner or later an accident is gonna happen, or me dying of suffocation in the cabin. No. I'm gonna protest in front of their dealer , and then i'm gonna do the same in front ford motor company headquarter. Is their fault too. Putting back on the roads a unsafe car? and covington ford to sell it.
The lug nuts are in two parts and the different parts tend to separate from each other, not allowing you to remove the lug nuts to change a flat tire.i was changing the brakes on the truck so i was stationary but could not remove the tire due the lug nut.
Diver's side front tire when flat. I was unable to remove the lug nut with the supplied lug wrench. The 2-part lugs had swelled making the lug wrench unusable. Was able to remove the lugs with a personal tool set in the rear of the truck. Went to a ford dealer and was advised to change my lug nuts to a solid aftermarket lug. Dealer said this is a common problem that can leave people stranded.
Lug nuts swelled and could not use factory provided wrench to remove them after having a flat.left me on the side of a busy highway for an extended time period

Failure of integrated wheel ends (iwe) on both front wheels due to seal failures and loss of vacuum. Symptoms: grinding or groaning at low speeds with or without brakes applied. Vibration in steering wheel and brake pedal. Dealerships will initially denyproblem and blmae the brakes (i.e. Dragging caliper). My truck was inspected by 3 shops to rule out the brakes and i still received a similar comment at the dealership.1/30/19: dealership finally confirmed issue and replaced both iwes at 35090 miles. This problem has been an ongoing issue with ford for many years based upon the vast number of complaints on truck forums.numerous complaints of iwe failures. The problem is so frequent that the first recommendation from most dealerships is to replace the vacuum solenoid or inline check valve. In my case, the replacemnt parts did not fix the problem
Took truck for regular service and advised that they could not rotate tires. Lug nuts are of a flawed design that swell due to heat, moisture etc. Dealer mentioned that i should buy replacements from an auto store as ford is still selling the same defective lug nuts. Issue is so common that service dept said ford actually engineered and sent a specialized tool to dealers to remove these defective parts.advised that in the event of a flat tire, i would not be able to change due to lug nuts swelling and tool not fitting. Not only are customers on the hook for $200+, but also possible towing fees for a non-mechanical, routine issue.
I purchased this 2016 ford f150 to tow my trailer.it is equipped with the ford max tow package.this truck will not safely tow my trailer.the problem is with the hankook tires.the tires cause the truck to "hunt" and swerve while driving on straight road.the tires are seeking the grooves in the road and make the truck difficult to drive.when the trailer is connected to the truck, the problem becomes so severe that the truck cannot be safely operated.when driving the truck in no wind, the truck swerves as if the wind is gusting from the side.i have driven this truck with the service director and the shop foreman and they both agree that the truck has an issue with the tires.,ford refuses to assist in this matter.
Luckily i was not stranded on the side of the road but having worked for ford this is a known issue and has now happened to both of my ford trucks. Ford makes lug nuts with aluminum casings that after 1-5 uses become swollen and making it impossible to remove lug nuts from vehicle especially in an emergency situation which could result in someone taking more time than needed on the side of the road struggling to break said lug nuts loose and will result in someone being struck by another vehicle.. This has been an ongoing issue for 10 + years. I have spent hundreds of dollars replacing these lug nuts. Multiple of which had to be cut off by mechanics. Please do something!!
Lug nuts expanding.lug nut oem wrench size is 21mm.lug nuts have expanded to 22mm and a little beyond.i understand oem lug nuts are a two piece design.i have some lug nuts that are "free spinning."meaning one of the pieces is loose from the other and just spins without the entire lug nut coming off the bolt.i have had one lug nut come off of tire.up until today the factory and ford dealership are the only personal to touch my wheels.the dealer commended i purchase after market lug nuts to solve problem, which they are doing also. As of today my vehicle has approximately 44k miles on it.earlier this year the dealer stated i keep an eye on the lug nuts because they were showing sign of expanding
