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.

ENGINE
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.

SERVICE BRAKES
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.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
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.

SERVICE BRAKES
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.

SERVICE BRAKES
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!

SERVICE BRAKES
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

WHEELS
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.
