SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING, I HAD A "LOW BRAKE FLUID" LIGHT COME ON. WHEN I APPROACHED THE NEXT INTERSECTION THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I THEN PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND THE BRAKES FAILED COMPLETELY HAVING USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. I OPENED THE HOOD AND INSPECTED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN I REMOVED THE CAP ON THE MASTER CYLINDER THE THERE WAS SUCTION IN THE RESERVOIR. MY CONCLUSION IS THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER HAS FAILED AND THE BRAKE FLUID IS BEING SUCKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I CALLED THE FORD DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE.

AIR BAGS
THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG TURNS ON AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING. I HAD THE ERROR CODES RAN BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE IS A MALFUNCTIONING WEIGHT SENSOR IN THE SEAT RAIL, WHICH WAS RECALLED FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THIS SAME MAKE AND MODEL. THIS LIGHT COMING ON WILL NOT USUALLY SHUT OFF UNTIL THE TRUCK IS SHUT OFF AND THEN IT WILL RESET. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE APRIL OF 2019 AND HAS SLOWLY BECOME MORE CONSISTENT. I HAVE TAKEN A PHOTO OF EACH OCCURRENCE WHEN THE ISSUE STARTED TO BECOME MORE PERSISTENT. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS JUNE 7TH 2019. I HAVE IMAGES FROM MAY 9, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 23 2019 AND JUNE 7 2019 WHERE IT OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES THAT DAY.

STEERING
THE POWER STEERING HAS STOPPED WORKING. THERE IS A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND IMPAIRED STEERING. THE TRUCK IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE AND A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. WE WERE TOLD BY OUR MECHANIC AFTER HE DIAGNOSED IT THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS PART OF A RECALL. SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 14S09/NHTSA RECALL 14V316. WE WERE THEN TOLD BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP THAT OUR TRUCKS VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THAT MAKES NO SENSE THAT WE WERE TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE EXACT PROBLEMS WE ARE HAVING IS THE EXACT SAME THING THIS RECALL IS FIR BUT OUR TRUCK DOESN'T FALL UNDER IT. PLEASE EXPLAIN.

SERVICE BRAKES
LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS COMING OFF THE FREEWAY ON THE OFF RAMP. PRESSED BRAKES AND HAD NO BRAKES. I HAD TO USE THE PARKING BRAKE TO AVOID SMASHING INTO VEHICLES AT THE STOP LIGHT. AFTER GETTING VEHICLE STOPPED INTO A PARKING LOT. I LOOKED UP MY VEHICLE FOR RECALLS. HAD A RECALL FOR BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER BLOWING FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER, AND DUE TO THE MILES, THEY GAVE ME THE IMPRESSION MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE NHTSA RECALL AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO GET AUTHORIZATION TO FIX THE VEHICLE, OTHERWISE I'D HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. (NEVER KNEW RECALLS WERE SUBJECT TO MILEAGE)

STEERING, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AFTER HITTING BUMPS IN THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK STARTS TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT BACK IS TO SLOW DOWN TO 30MPH AND THEN THE WOBBLE WILL STOP. WE HAVE REPLACED THE TRACK BAR, STABILIZER, BRAKES AND ROSTERS, NEW TIRES, AND BALANCES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVING ON I-10 IN ARIZONA PULLING A CAMPER ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. PULLED OVER, RESTARTED ENGINE, TRIED AGAIN, SHUT OFF AGAIN COUPLE MILES LATER. DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL WE REACHED FORD DEALER. THEY FOUND FUEL SYSTEM MINI FUSE HAD MELTED IN FUSE PANEL. WITH VERY LITTLE RESEARCH FOUND THIS HAS BEEN A ISSUE SINCE 2009-2014 TRUCKS. FORD REFUSES TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. THEY HAVE A TSB FOR IT. THEY MOVE FUSE TO OPEN SLOT IN FUSE PANEL & PUT A HEAVIER FUSE THAT CAN HANDLE LOAD. NOT ONLY DID THIS COST ME $500. BUT ALSO PUT ME & MY FAMILY IN EXTREME DANGER (SHUT DOWN ON FREEWAY WITH 18WHEELERS NEXT TO US) SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE FORD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE CHECK F-150 FORUMS, MANY OTHERS. THANKS

SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING IN THE NEW ORLEANS FRENCH QUARTER, AUDIBLE WARNING TONE AND VISUAL INDICATOR SAID "BRAKE FLUID LOW". ADDED ONE CONTAINER OF BRAKE FLUID, PROCEEDED 1/2 MILE. AGAIN, AUDIBLE WARNING AND VISUAL INDICATOR SHOWED LOW BRAKE FLUID. ADDED FLUID TO LINE IN CONTAINER. 1 MILE, SAME INDICATORS. UPON INSPECTION, ALL BRAKE FLUID HAS LEAKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. NO VISIBLE LEAK OR FLUID ON THE GROUND. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS FOR THE SAME YEAR VEHICLE BUT IT SUPPOSEDLY DOES NOT INCLUDE THIS VIN #. APPARENTLY IT SHOULD.

ENGINE
ENGINE FAILURE - LIMP MODE - THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE FORD F-150 ECOBOOST THAT FORD AND NHTSA HAVE YET TO ADDRESS/ ISSUE A RECALL. I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR LESS THAN A MONTH AND IT HAS TWICE NOW GONE INTO 'LIMP MODE'. MERGING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE FAILED, A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AND ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AND GET TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM OTHER F150 OWNERS I WAS ABLE TO SEE THAT THE DEALERSHIPS AND FORD KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT HAVE YET TO ADDRESS IT. I CHECKED THE SPARK PLUGS AND THEY WERE FROM THE FACTORY, YET GAPPED INCORRECTLY AS OTHERS HAVE STATED. THE THROTTLE BODY ALSO WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS HORRIBLE PRACTICE BY FORD AND NHTSA SHOULD ADDRESS THE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE ISSUE. THIS IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE EVENTUALLY. I WILL BE GETTING RID OF THIS TRUCK IMMEDIATELY AND GETTING A RELIABLE TRUCK LIKE I HAD PREVIOUSLY.

I HAVE 45K MILES AND WAS DRIVING AND THE COMPRESSION FITTING ON THE TRANSMISSION HOSE AT THE RADIATOR SHEARED OFF. IT SPRAYED TRANSMISSION OIL ALL OVER ENGINE AND ROADWAY. THERE WAS A MOTORCYCLE BEHIND ME WHO LUCKILY DIDN'T GO DOWN DUE TO THE OIL. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMSSION LINE AND FLUID. I ALSO NEEDED TO RENT A CAR SINCE I WAS OUT OF TOWN.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS THE ENGINE STOPPED COMPLETELY AND WITHOUT WARNING. WE TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY COULD NOT DETECT A PROBLEM. WE THEN TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT ASA MASTER CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN WITH 38 YEARS EXPERIENCE. HE INFORMED US THAT FORD HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND WILL NOT ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THROTTLE SYSTEM WAS CLEANED AND WE WILL SEE IF THIS CORRECTS ISSUE. MY PROBLEM IS WITH FORD AND DEALERSHIP THAT DOES NOT EXPLAIN THIS TO THE CUSTOMER. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS THE TRUCK JUST STOPS WITH NO WARNING AT 70 MILES AN HOUR! FORD SHOULD TELL THE CUSTOMERS WHAT IS WRONG SO IT CAN BE FIXED INSTEAD OF HIDING THE PROBLEM. I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND READ ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE (A BIG ORANGE WRENCH APPEARS IN DISPLAY WHEN IT HAPPENS). THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS!! SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE AND MAY HAVE ALREADY DUE TO THE LACK OF TRANSPARENCY. IT'S AS IF THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM THEY ARE ADMITTING THERE IS ONE AND THEN BECOME LIABLE TO CORRECT IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND PEOPLE NEED TO BE MADE AWARE OF IT.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE SKID PLATE UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION HAS INADEQUATE FASTENERS. THE FASTENERS DO NOT RETAIN THE SKID PLATE AND SKID PLATE WILL COME LOOSE. IN MY CASE THE SKID PLATE CAME COMPLETELY LOOSE AND FELL ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND WAS SUBSEQUENTLY STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. ALL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE BY A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY INDICATED THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM. ITEMS FALLING OFF OF VEHICLES ONTO THE HIGHWAY IS A SAFETY CONCERN. ESPECIALLY WHEN SUCH ITEMS ARE LARGE AND DIFFICULT TO AVOID. I HAVE WRITTEN TO FORD WITH NO RESOLUTION OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE PROBLEM. PARTS SHOULD NOT BE FALLING OFF OF VEHICLES BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE OR INADEQUATE FASTENERS.
