ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN IT SUDDENLY ENTERED A LIMP MODE, INDICATED BY MULTIPLE DASH WARNING LIGHTS AND AN ABRUPT LOSS OF POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE TO OPERATE IN SUCH CONDITION. FORD HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY USED ON THESE MOTORS, BUT HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON A PART THAT COULD CAUSE GREAT BODILY HARM AND INJURY IF IT SHOULD FAIL IN HEAVY TRAFFIC SCENARIOS.

STRUCTURE:BODY
ON THE NEWER FORD F150'S THE MASTER LOCK SITS OUTSIDE OF THE DOOR FRAME. CRIMINALS CAN BREAK THIS LOCK AND GRAIN ACCESS TO THE VEHICLE IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS. I HAVE HAD MY TRUCK BROKEN INTO 3 TIMES NOW DUE TO THIS SECURITY ISSUE. FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE THEY ENGINEERED INTO THE F150. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY TRUCK AND WILL IMEDIETLY BE LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT THAT IS NOT A FORD.

STARTED DRIVING AM FOR ABOUT 5-7 MILES AND GETTING ON AN ON RAMP TO FREEWAY VEHICLE SUDDENLY HAD NO POWER AND IDLE VERY ROUGH/ COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, HILL ASSIST NOT ACTIVE AND ANOTHER SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF ROAD AND SAT FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS, TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND RE STARTED, NO FAULT WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON AND ALL WAS FINE. DROVE 22 MILES TO DEWEY FORD IN ANKENY, IOWA TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY ASKED IF ANY FAULT LIGHTS WERE STILL ON AND I SAID NO AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WITHOUT A FAULT LIGHT BEING ON. THEY SAID IT COULD BE WATER IN THE FUEL AND SUGGESTED A COUPLE CANS OF SEA FOAM AND TO TOP FUEL OFF WITH PREMIUM/NO ALCOHOL. DID THAT, DROVE AN ADDITIONAL 22 MILES WITH OUT ANY PROBLEMS. RESEARCHED SIMILAR PROBLEMS BY OTHERS AND ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY CAME UP. WILL UPDATE IF I HAVE ANOTHER INCIDENT.

UPON PULLING OUT OF PARKING SPACE, LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON AND BRAKE PEDAL LOST ALL PRESSURE. WENT BACK INTO STORE TO PURCHASE MORE BRAKE FLUID. REFILLED AND LOW FLUID LIGHT CAME BACK ON BEFORE LEAVING PARKING LOT. DROVE TO ANOTHER LOT AND REFILLED RESERVOIR AS IT WAS EMPTY AGAIN. NO SIGNS OF EXTERNAL LEAKS. UPON VIEWING OTHER IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS, I BELIEVE IT IS LEAKING INTO BRAKE BOOSTER, WHICH HAS NOT YET BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS MODEL YEAR. F150 ONLY HAS 61,000 MILES.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING ON A US HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, I HAD A NEED TO SUDDENLY APPLY THE BRAKES ON MY 2016 FORD F-150 AND THERE WAS A SUDDEN FAILURE. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED THE ENTIRE DISTANCE TO THE FLOOR TO FINALLY GET THE VEHICLE TO DECELERATE. AFTERWARDS A WARNINGS LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING LOW BRAKE FLUID. DESPITE ADDING FLUID TO THE RESERVOIR THE BRAKES WOULD STILL NOT ENGAGE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE BROUGHT FOR SERVICE WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A FAILURE IN THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER. FORTUNATELY THIS DID NOT RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING TO WORK A RED BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THE DISPLAY AND I TRIED THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NO BRAKES. I PULLED OVER IN A SAFE SPOT CHECKED THE BRAKE RESERVOIR AND IT WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT OF THE EXHAUST. HAD IT TOWED TO A FORD/LINCOLN DEALER AND THEY SAID THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED $890.00. THERE IS NO FORD RECALL FOR 2016 F150S WHICH IS UNBELIEVABLE SINCE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. DID SOME RESEARCH AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE LAWSUITS FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON 2013-2018 FORD F150S. I CALLED FORD HAD A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING THE REP AND SHE CREATED A CASE NUMBER. CALLED THEM THE NEXT DAY AFTER SPEAKING WITH FORD DEALER AND THERE WAS NO CASE TO BE FOUND. THE SECOND FORD REP MADE A CASE # CAS22180343, WAS VERY HELPFUL AND THE REP SAID FORD WILL MAKE IT RIGHT. THIS REMAINS TO BE SEEN. MEANWHILE I'M WITHOUT A VEHICLE. I HAD A 2005 TOYOTA TACOMA AND NEVER HAD ANY TYPE OF ISSUES. HOPEFULLY THIS HELPS AND GETS FORD TO RECALL 2016 F150S SO NO ONE GETS HURT. ALSO HAD TO REPLACE ALL BRAKES, ROTORS AND PADS FOR $924.72 ON A 50K MILE VEHICLE IS VERY QUESTIONABLE. THANK YOU

I HAVE OWNED MY 2016 FORD F-150 SUPER CREW LARIAT FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS. I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW FROM A DEALER IN PALM BEACH COUNTY FLORIDA. I AM ON TOP OF MY ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND HAVE JUST HAD MY TRUCK SERVICED 3 WEEKS AGO. ON 7/20/19 MY TRUCK'S BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE DRIVING FROM MY HOUSE ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD. I HAD TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP MY VEHICLE FROM GOING THROUGH A STOP SIGN. THANKFULLY, I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. MY MASTER CYLINDER HAD LOST ALL ITS FLUID BUT THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF LEAKS. I ADDED BRAKE FLUID AND I COULD SEE IT LEAVING THE RESERVOIR. IT APPEARS TO BE LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I HAD TO HAVE MY TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I'M WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY ERROR/MAINTENANCE ALARMS GO OFF AND THE TRUCK WILL DROP TO A ROUGH IDLE (TOTAL LOSS OF POWER), IS NOT RESPONSIVE TO THROTTLE INPUT, AND MULTIPLE ALARM MESSAGES ARE DISPLAYED. IN EVERY CASE, I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER, SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN, WAIT UNTIL ALL SYSTEMS HAVE POWERED DOWN, AND RESTART THE TRUCK. IN THE PAST AND THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE, SOMETIMES THIS ONLY OCCURS ONCE BUT IN A COUPLE OF INSTANCES IT WILL OCCUR A COUPLE OF TIMES IN A ROW BEFORE RESUMING NORMAL OPERATION. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION- TOTAL LOSS OF POWER WHILE IN TRAFFIC ON BUSY ROADS. FORD HAS DIAGNOSED AS AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FAILURE AND REFUSED TO COVER THIS ON WARRANTY (OUT OF WARRANTY 3 MOS) AND IT HAS TAKEN MUCH RESEARCH ON MY PART TO DISCOVER THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FORD ETB'S GOING BACK SOME TIME WITH OVER 60K FAILURE REPORTS OVER MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLES.

VEHICLE OPERATING NORMALLY UNTIL PROBLEM NOTED 7/13/2016. VEHICLE PURCHASED USED FROM CERTIFIED FORD DEALERSHIP ON 5/16/2018. CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 44,800 MILES ON ODOMETER. VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED OVERNIGHT AND UPON AM STARTUP AND BACKING UP SUFFERED COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. LOW BRAKE RESERVOIR INDICATOR LIGHT ON. VISUAL CHECK REVEALED RESERVOIR LEVEL WELL BELOW MINIMUM MARK AND LEVEL WITH INLETS FOR THE BRAKE LINES. REFILLED, PUMPED BRAKES AND ABLE TO OBTAIN MODERATELY FIRM PEDAL. STARTED VEHICLE, LET IDLE FEW MOMENTS, TESTED BRAKE PEDAL BUT FOUND SOFT PEDAL AGAIN SINKS IMMEDIATELY TO FLOOR AND RESERVOIR LIGHT ON AGAIN. VISUAL CHECK SHOWS FLUID AGAIN HAS EMPTIED AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN MOVED. A VISUAL TRACE OF ALL BRAKE LINES SHOWS NO EXTERNAL LEAKAGE ALONG LENGTH OF THE LINES NOR AT ANY BRAKE COMPONENT. FLUID IS OBVIOUSLY BEING DRAWN INTO THE VACUUM BOOST RESERVOIR. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED IN ANY WAY FROM DATE OF PURCHASE. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE WITH A HIGH PROBABILITY OF LOSS OR LIFE AND/OR SEVERE INJURY TO PASSENGERS AND/OR COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES OR OBJECTS DUE TO THIS SUDDEN, TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. THIS IS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE MASTER CYLINDER SYSTEM THAT PRODUCES A FAILURE OF THE REDUNDANT BRAKING ARRANGEMENT (I.E. SEPARATE FRONT AND REAR BRAKE SYSTEMS). THIS APPEARS FROM A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH OF OTHER COMPLAINTS TO BECOMING A KNOWN PROBLEM. PROMPT ACTION IS URGED BY NHTSA TO INITIATE A RECALL TO CORRECT THESE PROBLEM FOR OBVIOUS SAFETY REASONS.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE WRENCH LIGHT FIRST CAME ON AROUND 42,000 MILES, BUT WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE TURNED OFF. IT CAME ON A SECOND AND THIRD TIME AROUND THE 50,000 AND 51,750 MILES. SOMETIMES IT WOULD COME BACK ON WHEN DRIVING AGAIN AND SOMETIMES NOT. THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT ABOUT 52,000 MILES. WHEN THIS CAME ON, IT WOULD STAY ON. THE TRUCK WOULD SEEM TO LOSE A LOT OF POWER AND THE RPM'S WOULD BEGIN REVVING HIGHER WHILE DRIVING. THIS WOULD BE DRIVING ON ALL ROAD CONDITIONS, HIGHWAY OR CITY, UP AND DOWN HILLS. WE HAD THE TRUCK IN TO CHECK AND THE CODE IT PROVIDED WAS 'DTC S-P0741 TORQUE CONVERTOR CLUTCH SOLENOID CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE STUCK OFF. WILL HAVE TO REPLACE TCC AND IF CONDITION STILL EXISTS, REPLACE THE MAIN VALVE BODY.' THE FIRST FORD DEALER (WHILE ON VACATION) MADE THE REPAIR, BUT THIS DID NOT REPAIR THE TRUCK. (THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN 131 MILES AFTER THE REPAIR AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN 40 MILES LATER OF THE WRENCH LIGHT WARNING.) TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE FORD DEALER WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK AT AND THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE TO THE ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, WAS UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND NOT TOWING A CAMPER. ALL THE REMAINING TIMES THE WRENCH AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WAS WHILE TOWING A CAMPER. (NOT SURE IF THIS IS POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE OR NOT, BUT FEEL IT IS WORTH NOTING.) ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL, THE AUTO START/STOP FEATURE IS TO AUTOMATICALLY DISABLE WHEN A CAMPER IS HOOKED UP TO THE TRUCK. BUT THIS NEVER SEEMED TO AUTOMATICALLY DISABLE WHEN WE WERE HOOKED UP TO THE TRUCK. ANOTHER ISSUE IS WHEN STARTING THE TRUCK UP FROM A COLD START IT WOULD MAKE A RATTLING NOISE. THIS ONLY HAPPENS FROM COLD STARTS. IF THE TRUCK HAD BEEN RUNNER AWHILE, SHUT OFF AND THEN RESTARTED, IT DID NOT MAKE THE NOISE. FORD IS STILL TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS.

AFTER 71K MILES, THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDS REPLACED DUE TO BRAKE FLUID INTERNAL LEAKING TO THE BRAKE BOOSTERS. LOST ALL CONTROL OF BRAKING POWER. $1100 REPAIR TO REPLACE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTERS. THIS HAPPENED ON 7/6/2019 WHILE DRIVING HOME. THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND NOTICED SUBSTANTIAL LOSS IN BRAKING POWER AND HAD TO PUSH BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO SLOW THE TRUCK TO A STOP AT STOP SIGN.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. UNEXPECTEDLY THE "LOW BRAKE FLUID" WARNING APPEARED. APPROXIMATELY 1 TO 2 MINUTES LATER I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE FIRST TIME I PRESSED IT SLOWED THE VEHICLE SLIGHTLY. I IPRESSED ON THE BRAKE AGAIN AND IT DID NOT REGISTER. IT WAS TERRIFYING AND I FELT FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT COLLISION. THIS HAPPENED ON A MAJOR CITY STREET MOVING ABOUT 40 MPH.

WHILE SLOWLY PULLING OUT OF A DRIVE WAY THE DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. A MECHANIC'S INSPECTION DETERMINED THE BOOSTER FAILED CAUSING BRAKE FLUID TO FLOW INTO THE MASTER CYLINDER. WITH NO FLUID IN THE LINES THERE IS NO STOPPING ABILITY.
