SERVICE BRAKES
SUDDEN FAILURE OF BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WITHOUT WARNING DURING NORMAL DRIVING IN THE CITY. THIS BRAKE FAILURE CAUSED ME TO DRIVE OFF THE ROAD IN ORDER TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH STOPPED VEHICLES. THIS IS THE EXACT ISSUE THAT IS INCLUDED IN RECALL # 16S24, HOWEVER THIS RECALL DOES NOT CURRENTLY INCLUDE MY VEHICLE. THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER SUDDENLY LEAKED ALL FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL # 16S24 CAUSING THE BRAKES TO STOP WORKING COMPLETELY, EVEN WITH THE PEDAL COMPLETELY DEPRESSED. I AM CONFIDENT THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART/SEAL/ASSEMBLY THAT IS INCLUDED IN THE RECALLED VEHICLES WAS INSTALLED ON MY TRUCK, CAUSING THE SAME ISSUE WHEN THE PART FAILED. FORD HAS DENIED HELPING ME WITH THIS ISSUE, AND I HAVE A BILL FROM DOWNTOWN FORD IN SACRAMENTO, CA IN THE AMOUNT OF $1009.35 FOR THE REPAIRS RELATED TO THIS DEFECTIVE PART.

ENGINE
3.5 ECO-BOOST ENGINE ON TWO OCCASIONS PUT ME IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION BY CAUSING A LOSS OF THROTTLE RESPONSE. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED A "WRENCH ICON" FLASHED WITH A LOSS OF POWER. NO THROTTLE RESPONSE UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED. WHEN THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED I WAS TOWING A TRAILER AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND HAD A DIFFICULT TIME PULLING OUT OF TRAFFIC ONTO THE SHOULDER. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED A TROUBLE CODE OF P2112 WAS SET AND THE CEL CAME ON. THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED EACH TIME. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I HAD 23131 MILES AND FORD REPLACED THE PART UNDER WARRANTY, THE SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS AT 45558 MILES AND I HAD TO COVER THE COST FOR REPLACEMENT. WITH THE LOSS OF POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEED THIS COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC AT A CRITICAL MOMENT. THE FORD SERVICE MANAGERS CAN'T GIVE ME A REASON WHY THIS PART IS FAILING.

MADE A TURN AT AN INTERSECTION WITH MY KIDS AND MY F150 ECOBOOST LOST POWER. I THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA GET HIT. I HAVE HAD MY 2013 F150 INTO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY TELL ME TO DRIVE IT THEY ARE WAITING FOR A NEW COMPUTER PROGRAM FROM FORD. ENGINE LITE HAS BEEN ON FOR A MONTH OR MORE. DEALERSHIP KEEPS GIVING IT BACK. WAITING ON PROGRAM. VEHICLE I FEEL IS NOT SAFE.

STEERING
COMPLETE FAILURE OF POWER STEERING. MULTIPLE FAULT LIGHTS. HILL DECENT FAULT, ADVANCED TRACK SERVICE FAULT, STEERING ASSIST FAULT, AND A COUPLE MORE. WHOLE DRIVING, I WENT YOU MAKE A LEFT TURN. TURNED THE WHEEL ABOUT 3/4 AROUND AND IT "POPPED" BACK TO THE RIGHT AND THEN RELEASED ALLOWING ME TO MAKE THE TURN. ONCE I STOPPED THE TRUCK AND TURNED IT OFF, I STARTED THE TRUCK AGAIN AND WENT TO TURN THE WHEEL BUT IT WOULD ONLY SQUEAL WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL. WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN AT ALL. TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AGAIN AND RESTARTED IT. NO POWER STEERING AT ALL NOW. DEALER SAYS PROBABLY AROUND $2000 TO FIX. VERY DANGEROUS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
"FUEL FILL INLET" MY TRUCK RECENTLY DISPLAYED A WARNING THAT SAYS "CHECK FUEL FILL INLET". I'VE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND MANY FORD OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE ACROSS SEVERAL MODELS. I'VE CHECKED THE INLET AND IT IS CLOSED AS IT SHOULD BE, I'VE CLEANED THE AREA IN AND AROUND WHERE THE FUEL NOZEL GOES AND THERE IS NO DEBRIS. THIS WARNING CAUSES THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT TO COME ON AND THUS GENERATES AN "EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS" CODE. THE " CHECK FUEL FILL INLET" WARNING INTERMITTENTLY DOESN'T COME ON AND THUS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF AND I'M ABLE TO USE MY REMOTE START. WHEN IT COMES ON I AM NOT ABLE T REMOTE START MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. I GOT IN TO START IT AND THE LIGHT JUST CAME ON. IT IS NOT AN ISSUE THAT FORD IS UNAWARE OF AND FORD OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR NEARLY 10 YEARS.

SERVICE BRAKES
DROVE THE TRUCK 270 MILES AT INTERSTATE SPEED ON I-95 TO A GRAND DAUGHTERS GRADUATION IN PROVIDENCE RI. AT THAT LOCATION WHILE DRIVING AT CITY SPEEDS(35 MPH) WARNING CAME ON "BRAKE FLUID LOW" I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS LOW BUT THERE WAS STILL AN INCH OF FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR, ON THE 2 MILE TRIP BACK TO THE LOCATION WE WERE STAYING, DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I LOST ALL BREAK POWER. THE RESERVOIR WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY, THERE WAS NO SIGN OF ANY BREAK FLUID OIL UNDER THE TRUCK OR ON THE UNDER CARRIAGE. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE MECHANICS DIAGNOSIS WAS A FAILED MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER WHERE ALL THE BRAKE FLUID WAS SUCKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. HAD TO BOOK AN EXTRA NIGHT IN PROVIDENCE WHILE WAITING FOR THE NEW MASTER CYLINDER TO ARRIVE. AFTER REPLACEMENT OF THE MASTER CYLINDER THE DRIVE, 270 MILES HOME WAS WITHOUT INCIDENT.

MY VEHICLE THEN BEGAN TO SHUDDER, I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ITSELF OFF AND THE FULL POWER CAME BACK TO THE TRUCK.

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 60 AND 65MPH AND MY 2013 F150 WITH A 6R80 TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED INTO WHAT I BELIEVE WAS 1ST GEAR. I CAME VERY CLOSE TO CRASHING AND COMPLETELY LOSING CONTROL BECAUSE THE REAR WHEELS BREIFLY SKIDDED ON THE FREEWAY SURFACE AND BECAUSE OF THE QUICK REDUCTION OF SPEED. IT WAS VIOLENT BECAUSE I WASNT EXPECTING IT. I AM GOING TO SLOWLY LIMP IT TO A FORD DEALER IN MESA ARIZONA TOMORROW MORNING. THEY SHOULD NOT CHARGE ME FOR THIS COMPONANT FLAW. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY TRUCK.

SERVICE BRAKES
LOST ALL ABILITY TO BRAKE WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH ON STATE HIGHWAY. DUE TO FORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES AND FAVORABLE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS, NO INJURIES WERE SUFFERED. FORD DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A MASTER CYLINDER LEAK THAT IS SIMILAR TO A CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL. DESPITE HAVING AN IDENTICAL MASTER CYLINDER FAILURE OF AN ACTIVE RECALL, MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT LISTED ON THE FORD RECALLS LIST FOR THIS ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AS I AM DRIVING THE 2013 FORD F-150 RAPTOR 6.2L THE GEARS SEEM TO BE OFF, IF I AM DRIVING ONLY 30MPH THE GEAR IS AT 6. ALSO THE MORE DANGEROUS AND SCARY THING IS THAT IT SHIFTS DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING, I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35MPH AND THE GEAR SEEM TO SHIFT DOWN TO 1 LOCKING MY REAR TIRES AND MAKING ME SKID ALMOST CAUSING THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME TO RUN INTO ME. THE TIRES LOCKED ALMOST AS IF I PUT THE BRAKES ON. I'M GLAD I WAS ONLY GOING 35MPH BUT WHAT IF I'M GOING 80, THIS WOULD BE A MORE DANGEROUS AND SCARY SCENARIO. IT ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I TURNED ON TO A STREET AND AS I STARTED TO ACCELERATE IT DROPPED MY GEAR TO 1, LOCKED MY WHEELS AND ACTED LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO SHIFT OR ACCELERATE , I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF ROAD, I SAT THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED AND WENT ON MY WAY NERVOUS IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, WHICH IT DIDN'T AND MADE IT HOME. NEXT DAY I TOOK TO FORD AND THEY SAID THEY CANT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE SO THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO. THIS IS SCARY , I DON'T FELL SAFE WITH ME AND MY SON IN THIS VEHICLE. WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION? WHAT IS MY NEXT OPPOSITION TO GET THIS FIXED. THANK YOU

POWER TRAIN
WHEN DRIVING IN MOTION, MY VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING UP THE BRAKES. THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND THE AIRBAG BEGAN TO READ INOPERABLE VIA THE DISPLAY. IN ANOTHER SITUATION (WHICH OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES) WHEN STARTING FROM A STATIONARY POSITION MY VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED BY FORD, THEY ADVISED THE LEAD FRAME ON THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND THEY REPLACED IT. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT 10-12 FORD F-150'S FROM THE KANSAS CITY PLANT HAD THIS ITEM RECALLED.
