SUSPENSION
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.

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..

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.
