ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AT TIMES MY 2015 F150 LOSES ALL POWER AND GO TO A LOW POWER/ "LIMP MODE" SETTING. CAUTIONS RECEIVED ARE (1) SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC, (2) HILL DESCENT CONTROL FAULT, (3) HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAIL, (4) TRAACTION CONTROL FAULT LIGHT. WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE VEHICLE GOES TO A VERY LOW FORWARD POWER SETTING (<5MPH), RUNS EXTREMELY ROUGH TO THE POINT WHERE THE VEHICLE SHAKES AGGRESSIVELY. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT IN NATURE, AND YESTERDAY WAS THE FINAL STRAW. THIS SUDDENT OSS OF POWER OCCURRED ON A BUSY ROAD AND I NEARLY GOT REAR ENDED. I IMMEDIATELY LIMPED OFF THE ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP IN CASTLE ROCK, CO. CURRENTLY I'M STANDING BY FOR THE MECHANICS DIAGNOSIS. OF NOTE, I DO SEE SEVERAL SIMILAR WRITE-UPS OF THIS PROBLEM ON THE NHTSA SITE REGARDING THE 2015 F150. IRONICALLY, A SIMILAR OCCURRENCE (REF. NHSTSA ID#11083485) HAPPENED RIGHT UP THE ROAD FROM ME IN CASTLE ROCK, CO (4/5/18). I HOPE FORD IS AWARE OF THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, RECURRING PROBLEM WITHIN ITS F150 FLEET.

STRUCTURE:BODY
IT HAS BEEN NEARLY NINE MONTHS SINCE FORD FIRST REPORTED A RECALL ON CERTAIN FORD F-150 TRUCKS RELATED TO FAULTY DOOR LATCHES. TO DATE, FORD HAS STILL NOT NOTIFIED EFFECTED OWNERS HOW OR WHERE THEY CAN HAVE THEIR VEHICLES REPAIRED. I ENCOURAGE THE NHTSA TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT FORD IS LIVING UP TO ITS OBLIGATIONS TO REPAIR THE DEFECT ON A TIMELY BASIS. LIVES ARE AT STAKE.

SERVICE BRAKES
ON JUNE 15, 2018 I HAD A TONE ALERT AND MESSAGE ON THE DASH OF MY 2015 F150 APPEAR WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION INDICATING A "LOW BRAKE FLUID" WARNING. I APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT APPEARED TO BE NORMAL. I TRAVELED A SHORT DISTANCE TO A PARKING LOT AND STOPPED. I RETURNED AFTER 20 MINUTES AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE TO START THE TRUCK THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FIREWALL. I RAISED THE HOOD AND SAW ABOUT 1/8 INCH OF FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. I CALLED AAA HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO TRI-LAKES FORD IN BRANSON MISSOURI. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE.

WHEELS
ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE A FLAT ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE LUG NUTS OFF BECAUSE THE FORD STANDARD WRENCH SUPPLIED WITH THE JACK KIT IS TOO SMALL AND WOULDN'T FIT ONTO THE NUTS EVEN WHEN TRYING TO FORCE IT ON BY BANGING ON IT WITH A ROCK. I WAS LEFT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS WAITING FOR AAA TO BRING THE CORRECT SIZED SOCKET. THE AAA SERVICE MAN SAID THAT HE HAD TO USE A 7/8 SOCKET. THIS SITUATION PUT ME IN UNNECESSARY DANGER AND IS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO OPEN RECALL AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO HAVE A FORD DEALERSHIP LOOK AT THE ISSUE. THEY ALSO SAID I WOULD MOST LIKELY HAVE TO PAY FOR A CORRECTLY SIZED LUG NUT WRENCH.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE USING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ON MY 2015 FORD F-150 (KING RANCH), MY TRUCK WILL CONFUSE A DUMP TRUCK AS A STOPPED OR SLOW MOVING VEHICLE IN FRONT OF MY TRUCK. THIS WILL HAPPEN IF A DUMP TRUCK IS IN THE LANE BESIDE ME OR IN OPPOSING LANES. THIS OCCURS AT SOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. MULTIPLE TIMES THIS HAS OCCURRED AT 65MPH+ IN TRAFFIC. THE TRUCK WILL VERY ABRUPTLY APPLY THE BREAKS AND THE COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM WILL ALERT. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED VERY SERIOUS WRECKS DUE TO THE SPEEDS THAT IT OFTEN OCCURS. THIS IS ALSO NOT A SELDOM OCCURANCE, IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I PASS BY A DUMP TRUCK. IT WILL OCCUR ON ANY AND EVERY STREET. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DELEARSHIP AND THEIR SOLUTION HAD NO EFFECT ON THE ISSUE.
