ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 FORD F150 PLATINUM (V6 ECO BOOST) ON AN HWY (70 MPH) THE TRUCK ENCOUNTERED LOSS OF PEDAL RESPONSE AND THREE WARNING LIGHT AS I COASTED TO A STOP IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THESE THREE WARNING LIGHTS: HILL ASSIST TRACTION CONTROL, ADVANCED TRAC WARNING INDICATOR, DRIVER ASSISTANCE INDICATOR. THE TRUCK TO TRANSITION TO 'LIMP' MODE (ACCELERATOR AND POWER STEERING DOESN'T WORK) WHICH A DANGEROUS AND SCARY. MOST 'LIMP' MODE INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED WHILE DESCENDING DOWNHILL, HAS OCCURRED SEVEN TIMES SO FAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY JUST CLEAR CODE AND SAY YOUR GOOD ($130 DIAGNOSTIC FEE). THEN THE ERROR OCCURS THE SAME DAY. WITH MORE ONLINE RESEARCH THERE A MASSIVE PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH CAUSES THIS TO HAPPEN. THERE NEEDS TO BE A FORD RECALL FOR THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE ON A ROAD TRIP FROM THE SF BAY AREA TO LAS VEGAS AND HAVING BEEN THERE JUST ONE DAY, THE VALET AT CEASAR'S PALACE DROVE MY TRUCK TO THE FRONT ENTRANCE OF THE HOTEL/CASINO WHERE MANY PEOPLE AND VEHICLES WERE COMING AND GOING. WHEN I GOT IN MY TRUCK, THE BRAKE WARNING/FAILURE LIGHTS WERE BRIGHTLY LIT AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT MUSHY RIGHT TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I INSPECTED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR, IT WAS NEAR EMPTY (SEE ATTACHED PHOTO). WHEN I LOOKED BENEATH THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A LEAK AND NO INDICATION OF A LEAK IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE TRUCK MILEAGE WAS AROUND 62K AND HAD THE 60K SERVICE RECENTLY WHICH INCLUDED NEW FRONT ROTORS AND PADS INSTALLED BY A FORD DEALER IN THE SF BAY AREA. FOR THE BRAKE FAILURE, I HAD THE TRUCK REPAIRED AT THE FORD DEALER IN LAS VEGAS. THEY REPORTED THAT BRAKE FLUID LEAKED FROM THE HYDRAULIC CYLINDER SECONDARY SEAL INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. BOTH THE HYDRAULIC CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER REQUIRED REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF NEARLY $1400.00! FORTUNATELY, I WASN'T DRIVING WHEN THE BRAKE FAILURE OCCURRED. THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES. THANK GOD.

MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING INTO BRAKE BOOSTER. ONLY WARNING IS LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT. KNOWN ISSUE ON 13, 14 ECOBOOST MODELS. JUST DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING CAME ON . PULLED OVER AND PUT MORE FLUID IN MASTER CYLINDER. BY THE TIME WE GOT TO THE END OF PARKING LOT NEEDED FLUID AGAIN. TOOK TO FORD DEALER WHERE THEY SAID NEEDED NEW MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED. PARTS AND LABOR OVER $900.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2015 FORD F150 2.7 ECOBOOST WITH 66,000 MILES ON IT, AND MY FUEL PUMP HAS GONE BAD IN IT. I HAVE HEARD FROM MANY FELLOW OWNERS THAT THE SAME STYLE TRUCK HAS ALSO HAD FUEL PUMP FAILURES, MOST WITH LESS MILES ON THEM THAN MINE.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON. THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND AS I WAS DRIVING I WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO ASSIST ME IN STOPPING THE VEHICLE. I STOPPED 2 FEET SHORT OF CRASHING INTO A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I PULLED OVER AND OPENED THE HOOD. THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS ALMOST EMPTY. I STOPPED AT A NEAR BY MIDAS AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A MASSIVE LEAK FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER (BOOSTER WAS COMPLETELY FILLED WITH BRAKE FLUID). I HAVE SEEN THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2013-2014 F150S THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THIS PROBLEM IS AFFECTING THE 2015S ALSO. THERE WAS NO WARNING OTHER THAN THE LIGHT COMING ON AND I IMMEDIATELY LOST ALMOST COMPLETE BRAKING POWER TO THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN AND A FRIGHTENING ONE AS IT HAPPENS WITH CHILDREN INSIDE THE VEHICLE.
