ENGINE
THE TRUCK BEGAN TO MAKE A LOUD, CLUNKY NOISE, ALLTHEWHILE IT WAS SLOWING DOWN AND THEN EVENTUALLY CAME TO A STOP AND WAS NOT DRIVEABLE ANYMORE. WE WERE DRIVING IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN IT STALLED. IT WOULD NOT MOVE. IT WOULD TURN ON, BUT IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT STILL MADE THE CLUNKY, LOUD NOISE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE TAILGATE OPENS ON ITS OWN RANDOMLY WHILE PARKED AND WHEN MOVING. THIS FIRST STARTED HAPPENING IN THE FALL OF 2018 AND I STILL ON GOING AND HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN THIS WEEKEND 1/14/2020 FORD HAD ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ON 2017 AND NEWER TRUCKS BUT MINE IS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL. HOW DO I GET IT ADDED TO THE RECALL TO FIX THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. THE RECALL COVERS F-250, F-350 AND F-450 TRUCKS FROM THE 2017 THROUGH 2019 MODEL YEARS. ALL THE TRUCKS HAVE ELECTRIC TAILGATE LATCH RELEASE SWITCHES IN THE TAILGATE HANDLE. FORD SAYS WATER CAN GET INTO THE ELECTRICAL WIRING AND CAUSE A SHORT CIRCUIT, ACTIVATING THE SWITCHES AND RELEASING THE LATCHES. THAT COULD ALLOW LOOSE CARGO TO FALL ONTO THE ROAD.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE TRAVELING TO WORK ON US-19, TRAFFIC CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP. AS I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT STOP. I VEERED LEFT INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND PASSED 2 VEHICLES BEFORE THE TRUCK CAME TO A STOP WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I SEE THAT THIS HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR EARLIER FORD F150 2014 & 2015 BUT NOT THE 2016 WHICH HAS MORE COMPLAINTS THAN THE PRIOR YEARS.

STRUCTURE:BODY
MY FORD WAS TAKEN TO THE FOX FORD IN WAYNESBURG, PA TO FIX THE 2 RECALLS ON 12/30/2019. ONE OF THE RECALLS WERE REGARDING THE DOOR NOT OPENING OR CLOSING. THEY SAID THEY REPAIRED BOTH RECALLS. AND ONE WEEK LATER ON 01/06/2020 THE DRIVERS DOOR COULD NOT GET INTO HAD TO CRAWL OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE IN ORDER TO START THE TRUCK. THEN ONCE THE DOOR WAS PUSHED OPEN FROM THE INSIDE THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. THE TRUCK SAT FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES TO WARM UP AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH CLOSE UNLESS YOU USED THE LOCK. CALLED THE FOX FORD BACK AND TOLD THEM AND THEY RESCHEDULED MY TRUCK BACK IN ON 01/13/20. THEY CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT THEY TOOK A LOOK AT THE DOOR AGAIN AND SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO EXCEPT PUT MORE LUBE ON/IN IT . AND THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE FOR ME IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN WITH OUT CHARGING ME OR HAVING ANOTHER RECALL. THEREFORE I AM NOTIFYING YOU.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
INTERMITTENTLY WHILE TOWING, AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES OF NON STOP HIGHWAY DRIVING, THE ENGINE WILL KILL AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY. WHEN I RESTART IT BY TURNING THE KEY, IT WILL KILL AGAIN AS SOON AS I PUT IT IN DRIVE. THIS WILL HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I GET THE ENGINE TO KEEP RUNNING. THIS HAPPENS ONLY IN THE TOW/HAUL MODE. I HAVE BEEN TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

ENGINE
VEHICLE ENGINE SHAKES AND SHUTS OFF WHEN STOPPED AND AT IDLE. THIS HAPPENS AFTER VEHICLE WARMS UP AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT FORD TRUCKS DOING THE SAME THING. HAVE READ THAT FORD IS AWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH VARIABLE CAM TIMING SENSORS AND CAM PHASERS, BUT ARE NOT ISSUING RECALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AT LEADT 6 TIMES.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I EXPERIENCED AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE THAT WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST BUT BECAME WORST OVER TIME. WITH THIS FAILURE I WOULD LOSE STEERING AND VEHICLE ADVANCE TRACK AS WELL AS ABS BRAKE FUNCTION. WHEN ELECTRICAL POWER WAS LOST THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING WOULD STOP FUNCTIONING CAUSING COMPLETE LOSE OF STEERING. THIS CAUSED ME TO CROSS INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE ONCOMING LANE. THE DEALER FOUND A WIRE GOING TO THE ALTERNATOR THAT HAD WORN THROUGH CAUSING AN OVER VOLTAGE CONDITION. THIS CAUSED MANY OF THE SYSTEMS, INCLUDING STEERING, TO SHUT DOWN. IN MY RESEARCH THIS IS NOT THE ONLY OCCURRENCE OF THIS ISSUE. MY VEHICLE HAS 42,000 MILES ON IT. I WOULD GUESS THIS WILL BECOME A MUCH MORE COMMON ISSUE WITH TIME.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY 20 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT AND WITHOUT ANY PRIOR PROBLEMS OR INDICATION OF A BRAKE ISSUE THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE THE FLOOR BOARD AND THE TRUCK BARELY CAME TO A STOP BEFORE HITTING OTHER VEHICLES IN THE PARKING LOT, AT THIS TIME A WARNING CHIME AND WARNING MESSAGE DISPLAYING LOW BRAKE FLUID APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. SHE HAPPENED TO BE IN THE FORD DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT PICKING THE TRUCK UP FROM MULTIPLE RECALLS BEING PREFORM (NON BRAKE RELATED). SHE PULLED BACK IN THE SERVICE LANE AND ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE, THE SERVICE WRITER WENT AND GOT THE TECHNICIAN TO INSPECTED IT IN THE SERVICE LANE, HE CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND IT WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY CAUSING THE TRUCK TO LOOSE ALL BRAKES. THEY ENDED UP KEEPING THE VEHICLE OVER NIGHT AND INSPECTED IT THE NEXT DAY.. THE TECHNICIAN ADDED MORE BRAKE FLUID TO THE BRAKE RESERVOIR AND TESTED THE TRUCKS BRAKES AND THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER IMMEDIATELY LOST THE BRAKE FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AS THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. NOW BOTH THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,031. FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS IS A WIDELY KNOW PROBLEM WITH 2013 TO 2018 FORD F150S EQUIPPED WITH THE 3.5 LITER ENGINE LIKE WE HAVE. MY DAUGHTER WAS EXTREMELY FORTUNATE SHE WAS DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS THROUGH A PARKING LOT, IF THIS WOULD OF HAPPENED TRAVELING A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED IT COULD OF ENDED UP CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH! THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IN A SWIFT WAY TO PREVENT ANYMORE DRIVERS BEING AT RISK, NOT ONLY TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE BUT THOSE THAT COULD BE HIT BY THE OUT OF CONTROL FORD F-150!

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND NOTICED NO REACTION AND MY PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO SLOW THE TRUCK. I WAS REALLY LUCK THERE WERE NO CARS TO MY RIGHT BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER ALL THIS I GOT A MESSAGE FOR 'LOW BRAKE FLUID'. I PASSED 6 CARS TILL I CAME TO A STOP.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE TRUCK WAS SET ON CRUISE CONTROL WHEN I ACCELERATED TO PASS A MOVING VEHICLE ON A FREEWAY. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP ACCELERATING WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL; I HAD TO BREAK HARD TO CONTROL THE SPEED. AS SOON AS I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BREAK, THE CAR ENGINE REVVED UP AGAIN AND QUICKLY ACCELERATED FROM 70 TO 96 MPH EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO IDLE AT A HIGH SPEED. THE DIAGNOSTIC READER PRODUCED THE ERROR CODE "P068A - ECM/PCM POWER RELAY DE-ENERGIZED PERFORMANCE - TOO EARLY". I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. TO FIX THE ISSUE, A NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED.

ENGINE
ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON THE DASHBOARD SUCH AS THE COLLISION DETECTION BEING DISABLED AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL HAS BEEN DISABLED. AS SOON AS THESE WARNINGS APPEAR, THE TRUCK'S ACCELERATION IS DISABLED AND IT WILL COAST TO STOP, BUT HE TRUCK IS STILL RUNNING. IT REMAINS IN A LOW IDLE THAT IS VERY ROUGH, VIBRATING THE ENTIRE TRUCK LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO KILL THE ENGINE, BUT BARELY KEEPING THE IDLE HIGH ENOUGH TO KEEP IT GOING. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO, BUT TRY TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. ONCE STOPPED, YOU CAN PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON. SOMETIMES ONLY ONE RESTART IS REQUIRED, BUT SOMETIMES IT WILL DO THE SAME THING AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER YOU BEGIN DRIVING AGAIN. THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THIS CAN HAPPEN IN AN INTERSECTION, HIGHWAY, OR FREEWAY. THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN THIS IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.
