EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
DRIVE IN THE INTERSTATE I FELT SOMETHING TAP MY SHOE AND AT THE SAME TIME CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATED AND THE HILL ASSIST WARNING LIGHT COME ON. I THEN TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND FOR A SECOND THERE NOTHING HAPPENED AND THEN ACCELERATION CAME BACK ON AND IT WOULD CUT OUT LIKE TRACTION CONTROL IS KICKING IN. PULLED OVER ON TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND FOUND A BROKEN PLASTIC PIN LOOKS LIKE A BODY PANEL PIN ON THE FLOORMATT. ME BEING A MECHANIC SOMETHING TOLD ME TO LOOK AT MY BRAKE LIGHT TO SEE IF THERE BEING ACTIVATED WITH NO PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL . THE LIGHTS WERE ON TELLING ME THAT THIS PIN HAD TO DO SOMETHING WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. ONCE I LOOKED UNDER THE DASH, I DID FIND THAT THIS PIN CAME FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL AND WAS NO LONGER PUSHING ON THE BRAKE SWITCH AND THAT'S WHAT ACTUALLY CAUSE MY CRUISE CONTROL TO SHUT OFF AND TRACTION CONTROL KICK IN AS I WERE DRIVING ON INNERSTATE. I WAS ABLE TO TEMPORARILY FIX THE ISSUE WAS A BODY PANEL PIN THAT I BY LOCK HAD IN MY GLOVE BOX FROM OTHER PROJECTS AND WAS ABLE TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD AND MAKE IT HOME .THE ISSUE IS THE THIS ORIGINAL PLASTIC PIECE IS A CERTAIN THICKNESS THAT IF YOU REPLACE IT WITH A THINNER PIECE YOU STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND IF YOU GET THIS TO THICK YOU HAVE TO PUSH HARDER ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO ACTIVATE THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND DEACTIVATE CROUSE CONTROL, AND THAT'S WERE IT CAN GET SCARY GOING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO DEACTIVATE THE CROUSE CONNECTOR. SO I CALL THE LOCAL FORD PARTS STORE AND THE ISSUE IS THAT THIS PLASTIC PIN CAN NOT BE PURCHASED BY ITSELF AND THAT THIS PIN HAS TO BE PURCHASED WITH A $150 PEDAL. SO I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF MAYBE THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE AND NO RECALL FORM FORD FOR THIS ISSUE WITCH IN MY OPINION IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. 2015 F-150 WITH 76000 MILES.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, PUT INTO PARK, THE KEY WAS REMOVED, THEN THE VEHICLE WAS LOCKED. UPON RETURNING TO THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE WAS UNLOCKED, THE TAILGATE WAS LOWERED AND WE PROCEEDED TO LOAD A BULKY 70 (I'M GUESSING) POUND OBJECT INTO THE BED OF THE TRUCK. AS WE PUSHED THE OBJECT INTO THE BED OF THE TRUCK THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ROLL. IT WAS ROLLING MORE THAN JUST THE NORMAL FEW INCHES THAT A VEHICLE IN PARK CAN SOMETIMES ROLL. I JUMPED INTO THE DRIVERS SEAT (THE DOOR HAD BEEN LEFT AJAR) AND PRESSED THE BRAKE TO STOP THE TRUCK. THE KEYS WERE NOT IN THE IGNITION, THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. THE EXTRA PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT BEING USED. THE PARKING LOT WAS VERY LEVEL, THERE WAS NO SLOPE AT ALL. ONCE WE HAD THE OBJECT WE WERE LOADING SECURED WE PUSHED THE TRUCK AND IT WAS STILL ABLE TO BE MOVED. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT THE OBJECT THAT WE WERE LOADING WASN'T HEAVY, BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY EASY TO HAVE AN OBJECT DROP DOWN ONTO THE PERSON(S) LOADING. THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO ANYONE, THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES DAMAGED. WE JUST FELT THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE REPORTED. MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATE MILEAGE WAS 39,824 IN JUNE ( 5 MONTHS AGO)AT LAST OIL CHANGE.

I WOKE UP AND REMOTE STARTED MY TRUCK BEFORE LEAVING FOR WORK ON A 40 DEGREE FAHRENHEIT DAY. I WAS 2 MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE AND THEN ALL I HEARD WAS A HUGE BANG, I SERIOUSLY THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD JUST SHOT A GUN. I LOOKED BACK AND MY REAR WINDOW WAS JUST COMPLETELY SHATTERED FOR NO REASON.

AIR BAGS
MY FATHER WAS INVOLVED IN A SINGLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT IN SEPTEMBER 2020, WHERE HE STRUCK A UTILITY POLE WITH THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE BUMPER ON HIS TRUCK, CAUSING THE POLE TO BREAK. HIS TRUCK WAS TRAVELING AROUND 55 MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY, WHEN HE SUDDENLY HAD TO AVOID HITTING A TRUCK THAT BRAKED IN FRONT OF HIM, CAUSING MY FATHER TO SWERVE TO THE RIGHT. HIS TRUCK WENT THROUGH A DITCH BEFORE IT CAME TO A STOP WHEN IT STRUCK THE UTILITY POLE. THE AIR BAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL CAME OUT BUT FAILED TO INFLATE AND MY FATHER HIT HIS HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL. HE SUFFERED WITH INJURIES WHICH INCLUDED BLEEDING ON THE BRAIN AND HAD TO BE AIR LIFTED TO A TRAUMA HOSPITAL AND HAD TO BE PUT IN ICU!! HE'S STILL UNDER THE CARE OF HIS DOCTORS

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING VEHICLE AND DASH STARTED FLASHING "HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE", "SERVICE ADVANCED TRAC" AND THE WRENCH ICON STARTED DISPLAYING ON CONSOLE. VEHICLE VIBRATED HEAVILY SLOWED DOWN IN A "CRIPPLE" MODE NO MATTER HOW HARD GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED. SHE PULLED OVER, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND WAITED 5+ MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING. IT RE-STARTED WITH ENGINE LIGHT LIT. IN ORDER TO GET IT TO DEALER, SHE HAD TO DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES. VEHICLE DROVE OK FOR A BIT AND THEN EXHIBITED SIMILAR BEHAVIOR 4 MORE TIMES, INCLUDING ONCE GOING UP THE CONEJO GRADE BETWEEN CAMARILLO AND NEWBURY PARK WHERE A BIG RIG HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID HITTING HER WHEN THE FORD F150 SUDDENLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY SLOWED DOWN. HAD THE SEMI DRIVING NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION, HE COULD HAVE EASILY HIT HER. FORD DEALER DIAGNOSED AS BAD THROTTLE BODY ON 11/2/2020 SAME VEHICLE HAD EXHIBITED BRAKE LOSS DUE TO FAULTY MASTER CYLINDER (NOW A RECALL) IN AUGUST OF 2019.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 F-150 ON A CITY STREET AT 35 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY MY TRUCK LOST ALL ACCELERATION POWER AND BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO SHAKE AND SPUTTER AS I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH TWO CODES TO 'SERVICE ADVANCETRAC' AND 'HILL DECENT CONTROL FAULT'. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, THEN RESTARTED. IT SEEMED TO TAKE LONGER TO CRANK, BUT IT STARTED AND I PROCEEDED DOWN THE ROAD. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WOULD REACH 35 MPH THE SAME SEQUENCE WOULD OCCUR WITH THE VEHICLE SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND LOSING ALL ACCELERATION POWER ALONG WITH THE SERVICE CODES FLASHING. I RESEARCHED MY PROBLEM AND READ STORY AFTER STORY ON THE INTERNET OF OTHERS WHO OWNED 2015 F-150'S WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE HAPPENING. I EVEN FOUND A RECALL FORD ISSUED: 16B32 FOR A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY, BUT WAS TOLD AT MY LOCAL FORD SERVICE CENTER THAT ALTHOUGH THE IDENTICAL THING HAPPENED WITH OTHERS, MY TRUCK WAS NOT LISTED UNDER THAT RECALL. I HAD TO PAY $500 OUT OF POCKET FOR THEM TO REPLACE MY DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY PLUS LABOR COSTS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE 2015 TRUCKS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING DONE TO INCLUDE MORE TRUCKS LIKE MINE WITH SIMILAR ISSUES INTO THAT RECALL. I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ALMOST $500 TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. I'M JUST GLAD I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY OR PULLING MY CAMPER TRAILER. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR BADLY INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM! PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE THIS HAPPENS!
