SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I STOPPED WHILE PULLING A TRAILER, FUELED MY VEHICLE, HOPPED BACK IN AND THE TRAILER BRAKES WERE ON CONSTANTLY. I DISCONNECTED 7 WAY PLUG AND TRAILER BRAKES RELEASED. I TESTED TRAILER BRAKING OUTPUT AT THE 7 PIN PLUG AND THE BRAKE OUTPUT WAS STUCK ON. I TURNED THE GAIN DOWN TO ZERO AND IT WAS STILL STAYING ON. I CHECKED THE TRAILER FOR A SHORT AND ALL CHECK SHOWED TRAILER WIRING AS OK. I FOUND ON AN F150 FORUM MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO 2015 AND 2016 F150'S AND DEALERS REPLACING THE TRAILER BRAKES MODULE AND THE TOW MODULE.

PHIL LONG FORD DID THE RECALL 11/2018 HOWEVER 12/2019 I HAD TO REPLACE THE DOOR ACTUATOR ON MY PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR ACTUATOR IS BROKEN AS WELL. SO WHATEVER THE RECALL DID OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T FIX MY DOOR SITUATION ACTUALLY ONLY CAUSED THE ISSUES.

MY TRUCKS TAIL GATE LATCH IS STUCK CLOSED AND THE MECHANISM WON'T WORK. I CAN'T OPEN THE TAIL GATE AND IT'S LOCKED SHUT. I USE IT FOR WORK DAILY AND NEED ACCESS TO THIS. I HAVE FRIENDS WHO HAVE F-150'S FROM 2015-2017 AS WELL AND THEY HAVE THE PROBLEM WHERE THEIR TAIL GATES EITHER STOP WORKING AND GET LOCKED SHUT OR HAVE BEEN LOCKED OPEN AND CAN'T SHUT THEM. THERE ARE MANY VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE AND MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES ON DIFFERENT FORUMS TALKING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON 2015-2017 F-150 ALL THE UP TO F-350'S. YOU CAN HEAR THE MECHANISM TRYING TO UNLIKE BECAUSE IT'S AN ELECTRONIC LOCKING/UNLOCKING SYSTEM BUT IT WON'T OPEN. TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE REPLACING THESE ACTUATORS IN THE TAIL GATE WITH THEIR OWN MONEY AND I BELIEVE FORD AND IT'S SUPPLIERS SHOULD BE RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. I USE MY TRUCKS FOR WORK DAILY AND NEED TO GET INTO MY TRUCK BED, BUT WITH A TONNEAU COVER ON IT, I'LL BE LOCKED OUT OF MY OWN BED, SO I CAN'T EVEN PUT A COVER ON IT TO KEEP MY TOOLS LOCKED UP AND SAFE. I HAVE AN OLD 2002 F-150 AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH DOORS OR THE BACK TAIL GATE WHICH I STILL USE DAILY ON THAT TRUCK ALSO FOR WORK. NOT SURE WHY THESE NEWER TRUCKS HAVE SUCH CHEAP OR BAD PARTS.

THE ENGINE HAS REPEATEDLY HAD CYLINDER MISFIRES OVER THE PAST 100,00 MILES AND 2 YEARS. IT'S HAPPENED MANY TIMES WITH DIFFERENT CYLINDERS. REPLACING THE COILPACK RESOLVES THE ISSUE BUT IT RETURNS AFTER A FEW WEEKS. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE MOISTURE PROBLEM WITH THE TURBO INTERCOOLER THAT ALREADY HAS SEVERAL REPORTS. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND USUALLY WHILE ACCELERATING. IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN DURING WET CONDITIONS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THERE IS A LOSS OF POWER AND THE VEHICLE SLOWS CONSIDERABLY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC.
