UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY TAILGATE OPENS BY ITSELF. DOES NOT MATTER IF I'M DRIVING IN PARK. MULTIPLE TIMES, IT HAS OPENED WHILE DRIVING DONE THE ROAD OR ON THE HIGHWAY. IT FIRST STARTED WHILE JUST SITTING IN THE GARAGE OR DRIVEWAY. I WOULD COME OUT AND FIND IT DOWN. ITS NOT A KEY FOB ISSUE AS I BELIEVE THE TAILGATE SHOULD NOT GO DOWN REGARDLESS IF YOUR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING ON STEEP DECLINE ON ICY PACKED SNOW UNPACKED MOUNTAIN ROAD IN 4X4 LOW IN MANUAL 1ST GEAR WITH HILL DESCENT ASSIST ENGAGED, THE TRUCK STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. (APPARENTLY ONE CANNOT RESTART THE F150 EVEN IN NEUTRAL IF THY TRUCK IS MOVING. HAVE TO COME TO COMPLETE STOP AND SHIFT BACK TO PARK TO BE ABLE TO RESTART ENGINE. VERY DANGEROUS DESIGN! IF TRUCK STALLS WHILE MOVING THE DRIVER BECOMES A SITTING PASSENGER UNTIL CAN BRING TRUCK TO STOP TO RESTART IT.) THE TRUCK THEN STARTED SLIDING OUT OF CONTROL ON THE ICY PACKED SNOW COVERED STEEP MOUNTAIN GRAVEL ROAD BECAUSE I COULD NOT USE THE STALLED ENGINE TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN. ENDED UP SLIDING OFF THE DROP OFF EDGE OF THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK ALMOST ROLLED OVER. VERY CLOSE TO DEADLY SITUATION. AFTER TOW TRUCK GOT THE F150 BACK ON THE ROAD I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE F150 SAFELY DOWN REST OF ICY ROAD WITHOUT HILL DESCENT ASSIST.

WHEN I GOT OFF WORK GOT INTO MY VEHICLE AFTER A RAINY DAY WATER POURED OUT FROM MY CONTROL PANEL ON THE CEILING OF MY TRUCK. THIS THE SECOND TIME IT'S DONE IT. WATER COMES OUT OF THE BUTTONS USED TO CONTROL THE REAR WINDOW BUTTON ALSO FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE HANDLE USED TO HELP UPON ENTRY TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY FOR 10 HOURS AND RAIN WAS HAPPENING ALL DAY. WHEN I GOT IN MY VEHICLE THE INTERIOR WAS DRY BUT AS SOON AS I TURNED RIGHT WATER BEGAN TO POUR FROM THE CONTROL PANEL ON THE CEILING.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS
I HAVE A 2016 F150 LARIAT. WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION MY REAR BLINDSPOT SPOT MODUALE KEEPS SHOWING ON MY DASH COVERING MY SPERDOMETER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I LOSE MY HEAT, AIRBAGS, GPS, FRONT POWER WINDOWS, POWER MIRRORS AND POWER SEATS. I'VE BEEN CHECKING ONLINE OF THIS PROBLEM AND SOUNDS QUITE COMMON. THIS WAS HAPPENING ABOUT 3 TIMES A DAY FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AND NOW IT STAYS TO WHERE ITS CONSTANT. SEEING THIS IS ON GOING WITH THESE VEHICLES I THINK THE DEALERSHIPS SHOULD BE RELIABLE TO FIX THIS EXPENSIVE ONGOING PROBLEM. THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN UTICA, NY WANTS 1500.00 DOLLARS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2 GIRLS TO OUR NANNY'S HOME AND THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED ON HER WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING. FORTUNATELY SHE DID'T GET TOO FAR. AND THANK GOODNESS WE WERE NOT TRAVELING OUR NORMAL COMMUTE WHICH IS ON A 75 MPH HIGHWAY. I LOVE MY TRUCK, BUT NOW I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING IT. IT IS SITTING NOW UNTIL FORD FIXES IT. THE MORE INFORMATION I READ AND COLLABORATE, THE MORE DISAPPOINTED I AM IN THIS VEHICLE AND MANUFACTURER. WE ALREADY HAD ONE SAFETY INCIDENT WITH THIS TRUCK AS THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER SEATBELT WAS INSTALLED BACKWARDS! NOW THE BRAKES FAILING COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING IS THE LAST STRAW. WHAT IS SHOCKING TO ME IS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS AS FAR BACK AS 2015 HOWEVER, SOME OF THE FAULTY PARTS (MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER) TRICKLED INTO PRODUCTION. THIS RECALL HAD TO DO WITH THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND IF THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH THE FAULTY PART, IT COULD LOSE ALL OF IT'S BRAKING CAPABILITY. AGAIN, I AM THANKING MY LUCKY STARS THAT ALL OF MY GIRLS ARE OK, BUT THIS IS UNACCEP AS A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT LOSE 100% OF BRAKING WHILE IN USE. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY WE TRAVEL EVERY WEEK? HAVE A LOOK AT THE ATTACHED PHOTOS. AN EMPTY BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND ZERO BRAKE FLUID--ANYWHERE.

EVERY TIME THE TEMPERATURE DIPS BELOW 20 DEGREES THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH NOR LOCK. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT, IN FACT CLAIMS TO HAVE FIXED IT, BUT THE ISSUE REMAINS. IN TALKING TO OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE THEY ALSO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, APPARENTLY FORD DOESN'T.

MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 18N03 FOR THE DOOR LATCH FREEZING OVERNIGHT AND BEING UNABLE TO CLOSE THE DOOR AFTER OPENING IT IN THE MORNING UNTIL IT WARMED UP. THIS WAS ORIGINALLY REPAIRED UNDER THE PROGRAM 18N03 IN MARCH 2019. IN FEBRUARY 2020 THE SAME DOOR LATCH HAD TO BE REPLACED COMPLETELY AS THE DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK UNLESS MANUALLY OPERATED FROM THE INSIDE. GIVEN THE SHORT TIME FRAME BETWEEN THE TWO REPAIRS THE ORIGINAL FREEZING AND BEING UNABLE TO LATCH MUST HAVE DAMAGED THE DOOR LATCH CAUSING IT TO FAIL LESS THAN A YEAR LATER. THE DEALER AND THE FORD CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AGENT BOTH REFUSED TO REPAIR THE LATCH THE SECOND TIME UNDER THE PROGRAM COSTING ME $583 OUT OF POCKET.

THE 2016 F150 WITH 40,000 MILES ON THE ENGINE HAD EXPERIENCED A ROUGH IDLE AND ENGINE STALLS. THE PROBLEM IS IN ABLE TO BE PREDICTABLE RECREATED CAUSING THE DEALERSHIP TO NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE TRUCK WAS AT 12000 MILES, MANY ENGINE PARTS WERE REPLACED TO FIX THIS ISSUES HOWEVER WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. THE VEHICLE IS BECOMING DIFFICULT TO DRIVE OR HAVE REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE TYPICALLY ROUGH ISLES OR STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR SITTING STILL. THIS POSES A CONCERNS WHEN MAKING A LEFT ON A STANDARD GREEN LIGHT WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2016 FORD F150 V8 ENGINE. DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, MY A/C COMPRESSOR WENT OUT. IT COMPLETELY LOCKED UP CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL AND BECOME DISABLED AND COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. SHORTLY AFTER, I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES (AS A RESULT OF THE ENGINE LOSS) WHICH CREATED A SAFETY ISSUE ON A FREEWAY AT 10:30PM AT NIGHT AS I HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE OVER LANES OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND EASE OF BRAKING AND BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP WITHOUT POWER ASSISTED BRAKES. THANKFULLY, WE WERE ABLE TO GET OVER, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT EVERYONE WOULD BE SO LUCKY. I DON'T THINK AN A/C COMPRESSOR BREAKING INTERNALLY SHOULD DISABLE THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE UNLESS SOMETHING IS FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE COMPRESSOR. I COULD SEE ACCIDENTS OCCURRING AS A RESULT OF THE ENGINE BECOMING DISABLED.
