POWER TRAIN
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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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.

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.

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 TRAVELING AT 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.

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.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.
