STEERING
AS I TURN MY TRUCK TO THE LEFT THE STEERING GETS STUCK A BIT AND REQUIRES FORCE TO GET THE STEERING WHEEL BACK FROM THAT POSITION. SOMETHING APPEARS TO BE GETTING HUNG UP.

SERVICE BRAKES
AS I WAS APPROACHING A 4-WAY INTERSECTION, I APPLIED THE BRAKES. IT SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN AND CAME TO A STOP, BUT AS I WAS WAITING AT THE LIGHT THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THIS IS THE SECOND BAKE LINE THAT HAS FAILED. IN THE PAST 6-8 MONTHS, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LINE FAILED; THIS TIME IT IS THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE.

ENGINE
1. 11/09/2019 VEHICLE WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" WHEN ENTERING THE I-84 FREEWAY FROM A FREEWAY ON-RAMP AT WOOD VILLAGE, OREGON. VEHICLE LOST POWER, WOULD NOT EXCEED 5 MPH, DASH LIGHTS (WRENCH LIGHT) CAME ON. VEHICLE PARTIALLY BLOCKED TRAFFIC AT INTERSECTION OF FREEWAY AND ON RAMP CAUSING A DANGEROUS TRAFFIC PROBLEM FOR OVER 1 HOUR BEFORE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED.. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FORD DEALER. DIAGNOSTIC CODES WERE NOT AVAILABLE UPON RESTART AT DEALER TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM, NO REPAIR WAS MADE. HOW CAN FORD HAVE A "LIMP MODE" WHICH ESSENTIALLY SHUTS DOWN THE VEHICLE (STUTTERS, STALLS, NO POWER) WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WHEN DIAGNOSTIC CODES AUTOMATICALLY RESET AT NEXT STARTUP? 2. 07/02/20 VEHICLE WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY COUNTY ROAD NEAR MY HOME. USING COUNTY ROADS AND CITY STREETS, VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN IN "LIMP MODE" AT LOW SPEED (5 MPH OR LESS FOR 7 MILES TO FORD DEALER. OTHER VEHICLES WERE FORCED TO PASS IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS, BIKE LANES WERE BLOCKED AND INTERSECTIONS WERE PARTIALLY BLOCKED BECAUSE OF THE SLOW SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS AFRAID TO SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE PREVIOUS INCIDENT WHERE THAT ACTION CLEARED THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES. VEHICLE WAS LEFT RUNNING AT THE FORD DEALER AND REPAIRED BY THEM BY READING THE CODES AND REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY. IT IS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE A FAILURE THAT INITIATES A "LIMP MODE" CONDITION THAT PLACES THE VEHICLE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE THE UNDERLYING CONDITION CANNOT BE EASILY DIAGNOSED IF VEHICLE IS SUBSEQUENTLY RESTARTED. THIS WILL, OF COURSE HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BEING TOWED OR DRIVEN TO THE DEALER IF THE DEALER CANNOT IMMEDIATELY READ THE CODES. I FEEL THAT FORD PUT ME IN HARMS WAY TWICE DUE TO THIS FAULTY "LIMP MODE' SYSTEM. FURTHER, I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE RELIABILITY OF THIS VEHICLE FOR FUTURE USE.

ENGINE
I HAVE 2015 F150 WITH THE ECO BOOST 2.7 LITER ENGINE. IT HAS ROUGHLY 60,000 MILES. FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS WHEN IT SITS OVERNIGHT AND YOU START IT IN THE MORNING IT EMITS A BLUISH WHITE SMOKE FOR ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS. I DID SEE WHERE THERE IS A COLD START PROBLEM WITH SOME OF THESE VEHICLES AND MAYBE PULLING BRAKE FLUID IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY. I LOOKED UP THE VIN NUMBER ON THE RECALL AND MINE HAS NOT SHOWN UP. I AM CONCERNED THAT MINE IS DONG THE SAME THING AS SPECIFIED ON THIS RECALL BUT HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
A PIECE WITHIN THE DOOR LATCH MECHANISM MAY FAIL AFTER EXPOSURE TO EXTREME TEMPERATURES. IF THIS HAPPENS, A VEHICLE'S DOORS MAY NOT CLOSE PROPERLY OR THEY MAY OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED UNDER TWO PRIOR RECALLS, BUT FORD SAYS NOT ALL FAULTY DOOR LATCHES HAVE BEEN PROPERLY REPAIRED OR REPLACED. RECALL WAS DONE HOWEVER PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. REPLACED DOOR ACTUATOR ON PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND NOW DRIVER DOOR HAS ISSUE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
2015 FORD F150 BRAKE FAILURE, EARLY JUNE 2020. VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 50K MILES WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. NO ACCIDENT AS THE FAILURE HAPPENED OVERNIGHT. BRAKES SEEMED FINE AFTER A 660 MILE TRIP WITH A TRAILER IN TOW. PARKED THE VEHICLE AND THE NEXT MORNING THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THEIR WAS ALMOST NO BRAKE FLUID IN THE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR. I TOWED THE VEHICLE TO FORD AUTO NATION IN THE DFW AREA AND IT REQUIRED A $1400 REPAIR. TODAY I LEARNED OF THE RECALL - RECALL 20S31. THIS REPAIR WILL BE COMPLETED FREE OF CHARGE PARTS AND LABOR. I HAD THE FORD DEALER DO THE WORK, I ASSUME I AM ENTITLED TO A 100% REFUND? ANY HELP I CAN GET WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED STEADY ON. IT BEGAN WITH THE LIGHT ONLY TURNING ON WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN WARM/HOT WEATHER. NOW, IT IS ON CONSISTENCY WITH EACH START. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS A FAULT WITH THE SEATBELT AIRBAGS THAT WOULD INFLATE FROM THE SEATBELTS IN THE INSTANCE OF AN ACCIDENT. ALTHOUGH NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED, THIS NOW REQUIRES FULL REPLACEMENT AT $1,000+ COST. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE SITTING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN I FELT A LITE THUMP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. NO LIGHT OR WARNING SOUNDS AT ALL. PUMPED PEDAL AND BRAKES WERE OK. GOT HOME SHUT OFF AND STEPPED ON PETAL AND IT WENT TO FLOOR AGAIN. CHECKED FLUID AND IT WAS LOW SO I FILLED UP WITH DOT 3 FLUID. THEN I NOTICED FLUID ON DRIVEWAY ON RIGHT SIDE NEAR FRONT WHEEL. LOOKED UNDER TRUCK AND NOTICED FLUID ALL OVER. UPON LOOKING FURTHER IT WAS COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE HOSE. I THINK THIS IS A PRE-MATURE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE HOSE. I ORDERED THIS TRUCK AND TOOK DELIVERY IN SEPTEMBER 2015 AND IT ONLY HAS 64,000 MILES ON IT. THE THING THAT SCARES ME MOST IS I JUST GOT DONE DRIVING BACK FROM FLORIDA TO NJ TOWING MY WIFES 2018 FORD ESCAPE ON A TOW DOLLY. GOD IF THAT HAPPENED TOWING WE WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. I KNOW THEIR IS A RECALL FOR THE MASTER CYL. THAT JUST CAME OUT 6/2020 BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO THEIR BRAKE HOSES ALSO. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE FORD DEALER IN THE MORNING (ALL AMERICAN FORD POINT PLEASANT NJ 08742) (6/15/2020) AND WANT THEM TO FIX THE BAD HOSE AND CHANGE ALL THE RUBBER BRAKE HOSES. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE NOW THAT 1 HOSE BLEW OUT IN ONLY 4YRS 9 MOS. I DO HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY SO THAT SHOULD BE COVERED. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL NEW VEHICLES IN MY LIFE TIME AND NEVER HAD A BRAKE HOSE BLOW OUT LIKE THIS.....I'M 67 YRS OLD. *TR

THE TRUCK COMPLETELY LOST POWER ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE. THE ENGINE KEPT RUNNING, BUT NO POWER TO MANEUVER PUTTING ME AND MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IN JEOPARDY. I WAS LUCKY IT DID NOT STALL IN A DIFFERENT PLACE, OR THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A BAD ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. FORD DEALER REPLACED IT AT A COST OF $500. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND THE LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED ALARMING AND THEN WENT OFF. THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT REMAINED ON AND I CHECKED MY BRAKES AND THEY WERE OKAY. I MADE IT A FEW MILES ON A 4 LANE MAJOR HIGHWAY AND STARTED TO PUT MY BRAKES ON TO SLOW DOWN AND GET INTO A TURN LANE TO TURN LEFT AND MY BRAKE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR. I REALIZED I WASN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THE TURN SO I MADE SURE IT WAS GOING TO BE SAFE TO REMAIN STRAIGHT AND I STARTED DOWN SHIFTING TO SLOW DOWN AND THEN STARTED SLOWLY APPLYING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AS I WAS EXITING OFF THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STOP. I CHECKED MY BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND IT WAS EMPTY. I HAD NO LEAKS UNDER MY VEHICLE. I GOT SOME HELP FROM MY DAD AND ENDED UP DRIVING IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. I BURNED THROUGH 1 GALLON OF BRAKE FLUID GETTING IT THERE. I FOUND OUT THAT THE BRAKE FLUID WAS GOING FROM THE RESERVOIR TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND THEN VACUUM TO THE ENGINE AND BEING BURNED UP THAT WAY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE FAILURE. BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND VEHICLE DID NOT STOP UNTIL IT HIT A TREE. I PRESSED THE BRAKE, STARTED THE CAR. THE BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT FEEL ABNORMAL. WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE PEDAL, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE. THE PEDAL IMMEDIATELY WENT SOFT AND COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. SINCE I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY ONLY PLANNING TO MOVE THE VEHICLE BACK ABOUT 3 FEET, I DID NOT CLOSE THE DOOR. WHEN THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP, ITS DOOR CAUGHT A TREE AND BENT BACKWARDS INTO THE FRONT FENDER. THE VEHICLE STOPPED BECAUSE THE DOOR CAUGHT THE TREE. THE ONLY WARNING DISPLAYED ON DASHBOARD WAS THAT THE DOOR WAS OPEN AND THE CAR WAS NOT IN PARK. AFTER INCIDENT I TURNED ON POWER TO VEHICLE WITHOUT STARTING TO RECORD THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE FOR MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THAT IS WHEN THE LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING CAME ON. *TR
