SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE FAILURE, NO BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS. PEDDLE PROVIDED SOME BRAKING INITIALLY, THEN PEDDLE FADES TO FLOOR AND BRAKING DIMINISHES TO NOT ABLE TO HOLD VEHICLE TO COMPLETE STOP, EVEN AT IDLE SPEED. PUMPING PEDDLE WILL RESTORE SAME SEQUENCE. I WOULD THINK THIS WOULD BE EXTREMELY SCARY TO NOVICE DRIVERS AND CAUSE INJURY, DEATH OR COLLISION WITH HIGH PROBABILITY. ESPECIALLY WITH ABSENCE OF WARNING LAMPS INDICATION. FIRST TIME PROBLEM NOTED ON NEAR ZERO DEGREE F. MORNING SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING EARLY AM ON HIGHWAY. SUSPECT PROBLEM TO BE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER. BRAKE FLUID LEVEL HAS NOT CHANGED, SEARCH FOR EXTERNAL LEAKS IN BRAKING SYSTEMS REVEALED NO VISIBLE LEAKS. VEHICLE CURRENTLY IN TO SERVICE THIS AT FRANCIOS FORD BELLVILLE WI. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
BOTTOM LATCH IN REAR DOOR, PASSENGER SIDE (SUPERCAB) WOULD NOT LATCH SHUT DURING A COLD SPELL, CAUSING A WARNING NOTIFICATION WHILE DRIVING THAT THE REAR DOOR WAS OPEN. I PULLED ON BOTTOM OF DOOR AND VERIFIED THAT THE DOOR WAS NOT LATCHED AND IT WOULD MOVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS AND THERE IS A FORD SSM THAT ONLY DEALERS CAN SEE ON THIS ISSUE (#46260). THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL AS I HAD MY DAUGHTER NEXT TO THIS DOOR. MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SOMEONE FALLS OUT A DOOR. WHAT HAPPENS IS MOISTURE IS RUNNING DOWN THE DOORS AND ONTO THE LATCHES. IT THEN FREEZES ON THE LATCH, CAUSING THEM NOT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THIS ESPECIALLY HAPPENS AFTER GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH ON A VERY COLD DAY OR AFTER A RAIN EVENT AND THEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPS. ALSO, DURING THE SAME TIME MY FRONT DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR HANDLE WOULD FULLY MOVE. THE LATCHES INTERNAL TO THE DOOR WERE FROZEN DUE TO MOISTURE. FORD IS ALSO AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND ISSUED TSB 16-0155 TO INSTALL RAIN GUARDS ABOVE THE LATCHES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN MY 2015 FORD F150 POWER DOORS USING THE KEY FOB, DOOR CODE BUTTONS, OR GRIP HANDLE SENSORS. THIS WAS MOST CONCERNING BECAUSE THE ISSUE STARTED WITH THE REAR DOORS; THIS CAUSED MY CHILD TO BECOME STUCK IN THE VEHICLE. THE TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW FREEZING AT THIS TIME. IF I HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO RELEASE THE DOOR THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY ISSUES TO MY YOUNG CHILDREN. THIS ISSUE HAS SINCE PROGRESSED TO ALL DOORS BECOMING DYSFUNCTIONAL. MY VEHICLE IS NOW AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP. MY VEHICLE WAS BOTH STATIONARY AND IN MOTION AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT ON CITY STREETS AND FREEWAY. IF I HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND QUICKLY NEEDED TO EXTRACT MY CHILDREN FROM THE VEHICLE THE ISSUE OF THE DOORS NOT FUNCTIONING AND FREEZING COULD HAVE PUT MY AND MY CHILDREN'S WELL FARE AT EXTREME RISK.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PERIODICALLY DETECTS A TRUCK IN THE RIGHT AS BEING IN FRONT OF ME. IT ACTIVATES THE BRAKES TO AVOID A ASSUMED COLLISION EVEN THOUGH THE LANE IS CLEAR AHEAD. THE BRAKES HAVE, ON OCCASION, BE APPLIED AUTOMATICALLY IN A VERY STRONG MANNER. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS CONDITION CAN LEAD TO SOMEONE REAR ENDING MY TRUCK. THE DEALER COULD NOT CONFIRM ANY ISSUES, HOWEVER IT HAS HAPPENED OWN OCCASION SINCE NEW.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WAS UPDATED WHEN THE RECALL WAS ISSUED BUT STILL EXHIBITS THE PROBLEM OF SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES WHEN PASSING A SEMI. THE PROBLEM IS ACTUALLY GETTING WORSE, AND HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY. IT NOW HAPPENS WHEN GOING UNDER A BRIDGE. I HAVE HAD IT TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS AND CONTACTED FORD AND THEY ALL TELL ME THAT THERE ARE NO COMPUTER ERROR CODES THEREFORE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. THEY ALSO TELL ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL BECAUSE I ALREADY HAD THE RECALL SERVICE PERFORMED. THIS TRUCK IS NOT SAFE, IT WILL KILL ME OR WHOEVER IS UNLUCKY ENOUGH TO BE FOLLOWING ME. FORD DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALREADY PERFORMED THE RECALL SERVICE.

BRAKES ARE RUBBING AND DEALER HAS REGROUND FRONT DISC BRAKES TWICE WITHOUT FIXING PROBLEM. SUSPECT THAT BRAKE CALIPERS ARE NOT COMPLETELY DISENGAGING AFTER BRAKES ARE APPLIED. BRAKE PEDAL WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AFTER APPLYING BRAKES.

SERVICE BRAKES
AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OVER NIGHT (LESS THAN 10 HOURS) I RECEIVED A BRAKE FLUID LOW WARNING WHEN STARTING. I FILLED BRAKE FLUID AND WHEN I BEGAN TO DRIVE THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR WITH VERY LITTLE BRAKING ABILITY. I CHECKED THE FLUID AGAIN AND IT WAS BACK TO EMPTY. ADDED MORE FLUID IT DRAINED ALSO. NOW I CAN SLIGHTLY SMELL BRAKE FLUID IN THE CAB. THE VEHICLE IS UNDRIVABLE. VERY SCARY!

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON FRIDAY 10/28 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 55 MILES/HOUR AT APPROXIMATELY 6:30PM WITH VEHICLES AHEAD OF AND BEHIND MY TRUCK, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO GIVE A NUMBER OF CHECK ENGINE ALERTS, AT WHICH TIME THE ENGINE RPMS DROPPED TO VERY LOW LEVELS AND BEGAN TO STALL AND THE ACCELERATOR NO LONGER RESPONDED. HAD TRUCK TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP WITHIN THE HOUR. I WAS VERY LUCKY IN THIS SITUATION, FOR HAD I BEEN IN A CONSTRUCTION AREA OR ON A BRIDGE, THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. THIS SAME SITUATION OCCURRED ON THE EVENING OF 10/2 WHILE DRIVING 40MPH DOWN A STATE ROAD NEAR MY HOME AND ACCORDING TO THE DEALER WHO ATTENDED TO THE ISSUE, THE BRAKE MODULE HAD FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE SYMPTOMS TO ARISE. IN THAT INSTANCE, THE ACCELERATE FAILED TO RESPOND AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STALL, WHICH IT DID WHEN I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THEY REPLACED THE MODULE A FEW DAYS LATER. IN ADDITION, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR VIBRATES AND DOES NOT LATCH PROPERLY. TWO DEALERS HAVE FAILED TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE TO DATE AND I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT HAS LARGELY BEEN DISMISSED BY THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS AND DEALERSHIPS INVOLVED. DESPITE NUMEROUS DOCUMENTED ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY HAVE IGNORED THIS CONCERN, HAVE FAILED TO RESPOND TO ME IN A TIMELY MANNER, AND DECLINED A BUYBACK REQUEST. I AM SUBMITTING LEMON LAW DOCUMENTATION FOR THE VEHICLE DURING THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 31. I HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON RENTAL VEHICLES DURING ATTEMPTED REPAIRS TO THE DOORS AND THE BRAKE MODULE SINCE FORD CLAIMS THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF RENTAL VEHICLES DURING WARRANTY REPAIRS. REPAIR DOCUMENTATION ATTACHED PERTAINS TO REPAIRS FOR 10/2 OCCURRENCE SINCE THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT YET HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS DROPPED OFF YESTERDAY EVENING. I WILL GLADLY PROVIDE INFO ONCE RECEIVED.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, WITH NO CRUISE CONTROL ON, AND SUDDENLY MY SENSORS GO OFF AS IF I WAS ABOUT TO HIT SOMETHING. THEN AFTER A SECOND (PROBABLY WAS ONLY A SPLIT-SECOND, BUT IT FELT LIKE FOREVER), IT WENT AWAY. IF ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD HAVE BEEN ENABLED, THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE BRAKES TO AUTOMATICALLY PRESS (I KNOW BECAUSE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE). THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE (SENSORS THINKING THEY ARE GOING TO HIT SOMETHING, WHEN IT SHOULD BE NOTHING). I WISH I HAD A VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING, BUT IT ONLY HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES FOR AT MOST 3 SECONDS IN THE THE 1.5 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE.

MY FIANCE AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, WITH NO CRUISE CONTROL ON, AND SUDDENLY MY SENSORS GO OFF AS IF I WAS ABOUT TO HIT SOMETHING. THEN AFTER A SECOND (PROBABLY WAS ONLY A SPLIT-SECOND, BUT IT FELT LIKE FOREVER), IT WENT AWAY. IF ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD HAVE BEEN ENABLED, THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE BRAKES TO AUTOMATICALLY PRESS (I KNOW BECAUSE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE). I WAS PASSING A SEMI, IF THAT HELPS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE (SENSORS THINKING THEY ARE GOING TO HIT SOMETHING, WHEN IT SHOULD BE NOTHING). I WISH I HAD A VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING, BUT IT ONLY HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES FOR AT MOST 3 SECONDS IN THE THE 1.5 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE.
