EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET AND ENGAGED ON VEHICLE AT 75 MPH. MY VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON INSIDE LANE OF FOUR LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY AND CAME UP ON SLIGHTLY SLOWER VEHICLE TRAVELING IN THE SAME LANE AT AROUND 70 MPH. MY VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND TRACKED THE OTHER VEHICLE FOR ABOUT A MILE BEFORE COMING UP ON A SLOWER MOVING TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK IN THE OUTSIDE LANE. AS THE VEHICLE IN FRONT ON MY TRUCK PASSED THE TRACTOR TRAILER ON THE INSIDE LANE, IT MOVED OVER IN FRONT OF THE TRACTOR TRAILER TO THE OUTSIDE LANE TO ALLOW ME TO PASS. INSTEAD ON SPEEDING UP TO 75 MPH, MY TRUCK STARTED TO BRAKE BEFORE I DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL (AROUND 65 MPH). AT THAT TIME, I WAS LOCATED BESIDE THE TRACTOR TRAILER NEAR THE BACK OF THE TRAILER. A VEHICLE FOLLOWING ME HAD TO BRAKE DUE MY TRUCK UNEXPECTED BRAKING AND SLOW DOWN.

VISIBILITY, STRUCTURE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS IN RAIN OR EXCESSIVE SUNLIGHT, THE CONTACT'S VISION IN THE DRIVER SIDE REARVIEW MIRROR WAS OBSTRUCTED BECAUSE THE CHROME AIR VENT CREATED A GLARE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS RECOMMENCED THAT THE WINDOWS BE TINTED. THE WINDOWS WERE TINTED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28. UPDATED 8/19/15*CN

STEERING
SINCE INITIAL TEST DRIVE, STEERING HAS BEEN DRIFTING AND PULLING. BEEN TO SERVICE 3 TIMES AND DEALERSHIP SAYS NORMAL WITH ELECTRICAL STEERING. UNSAFE AS VEHICLE IS CONSTANTLY DRIFTING OFF TRACK AND REQUIRES RESISTANCE ON STEERING WHEEL TO KEEP STRAIGHT.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY, SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT IN THE FAR LEFT LANE GOING 72 MPH WITH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE TRUCK RANDOMLY SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND THE RED CRASH INDICATOR FLASHED ALTHOUGH THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK. IF SOMEONE WAS BEHIND ME, IT IS LIKELY THEY WOULD HAVE REAR ENDED MY VEHICLE. THERE SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE AUTO CRUISE CONTROL,ALTHOUGH FORD BELIEVES THIS BEHAVIOR IS NORMAL.

STRUCTURE, TRAILER HITCHES
2015 FORD F-150 MANUAL ON PAGE 263 HAS INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER SETUP OF AN EQUALIZING HITCH FOR TOWING A TRAILER. THE INSTRUCTIONS CALL FOR RETURN OF THE FRONT FENDER HEIGHT 25% OF THE WAY FROM HEIGHT WHEN LOADED WITH TRAILER TO HEIGHT WITH NO TRAILER. THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE HITCH MANUFACTURER WHO RECOMMENDS FRONT FENDER HEIGHT TO 75% OF THE WAY FROM LOADED TO UNLOADED CONDITION. IN THE WORDS OF THE HITCH MANUFACTURER "WHY WOULD YOU PUT ON AN EQUALIZING HITCH AND NOT SET IT UP TO DO WHAT IT'S INTENDED TO DO?". THE RESULT OF THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE FORD MANUAL WOULD BE INADEQUATE EQUALIZATION, AND THEREFORE LOSS OF STEERING WITH A RESULTING POTENTIAL FOR ACCIDENT. I THINK THIS IS JUST A TYPO, BUT HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND ANYONE AT FORD WHO WILL LISTEN AND FIND SOMEONE TECHNICAL ENOUGH TO CHECK IT OUT. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED. TRUCK NOT MOVING, JUST SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT. I WAS IN IT. NOTHING HIT IT. VERY WEIRD. I THOUGHT THE WHOLE THING WAS GOING TO SHATTER. BRAND NEW TRUCK, ONLY 627 MILES ON IT. ANY IDEAS? *TR
