POWER TRAIN, STEERING
VIN: [XXX] MAKE: FORD F150 2015 ON THE MORNING OF JUNE 20TH 2017, I WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT JOURNALING AND LISTING TO MUSIC. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND RUNNING BECAUSE I WAS LISTENING TO THE RADIO AND ENJOYING THE AIR CONDITIONER. MY HUSBAND HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE AND PARKED IT. HE HAD EXITED THE VEHICLE AND WENT UP TO HIS APPOINTMENT AND I WAS IN THE VEHICLE, IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, JOURNALING FOR AT LEAST TEN MINUTES OR MORE. I NEEDED TO USE THE RESTROOM SO I PUT MY STUFF IN THE BAG AT MY FEET, ON THE FLOOR BOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I REACHED OVER, GRIPPED THE KEY, TURNED IT TO THE OFF POSITION, REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, THE TRUCK WAS FULLY OFF. I BEGAN OPENING THE PASSENGER DOOR TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AND REALIZED THE VEHICLE WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS. I SLAMMED MY DOOR, TRIED TO USE THE SHIFTER BUT IT DID NOT MOVE. I WAS STEERING THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT KNOWING THERE WERE VEHICLES PARKED BEHIND ME. I THREW THE KEY IN PUT IT IN DRIVE AND HIT THE BRAKE, BUT IT WAS TO LATE AND I HAD HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WAS LUCKY NOBODY WAS IN THE OTHER VEHICLE OR BEHIND MY VEHICLE. SOMEBODY COULD HAVE BEEN HURT OR KILLED. I PULLED THE TRUCK FORWARDS, I PARKED AND HANDLED WHAT HAD JUST OCCURRED. I DON?T KNOW WHAT TO DO. WE NO LONGER FEEL OUR VEHICLE IS SAFE WHEN IN PARK. I KNOW THE 2017 MODELS ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM, IF FORD STILL CANT FIX THIS PROBLEM TWO YEARS LATER, WHY WOULD I FEEL OUR VEHICLE IS SAFE OR TRUST THAT IT DOES NOT HAVE A DEFECT THAT NEEDS FIXING?????? PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. WE JUST WANT TO ENSURE OUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON A SECONDARY STREET WITH VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC (THANKFULLY), A WARNING FLASHED ON DASHBOARD REGARDING LOW BRAKE FLUID. WHEN I TOUCHED THE BRAKE PEDAL IT VIBRATED AND AS I DEPRESSED IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHERE I HAD MINIMAL STOPPING POWER. WITH VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC I WENT TO A NEARBY AUTO PARTS STORE AND PURCHASED / INSTALLED 1 QUART OF BRAKE FLUID. BY THE TIME I DROVE 3 MILES TO MY OFFICE, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS AGAIN ON THE FLOOR WITH MINIMAL STOPPING POWER. I INSTALLED A SECOND QUART OF FLUID WITH ABSOLUTELY NO SIGN OF A LEAK ANYWHERE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING THE FLUID INTO THE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY. THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE I355 AT 70 MILES PER HOUR WITHOUT REQUIRING BRAKES, I GOT A CHIME AND THEN A MESSAGE ON THE DASH THAT MY BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS LOW, THEN MY BRAKE LIGHT WENT ON. I CHECKED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT STOPPING THE TRUCK. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO TIME MY DISTANCE WITH TRAFFIC AND SWITCH LANES AND EXIT THE INTERSTATE. I MANAGED TO GET THE TRUCK INTO A PARKING LOT AND THEN CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR. THE RESERVOIR WAS VERY LOW, BELOW THE MINIMUM LEVEL. I CONTACTED A COWORKER WHO BROUGHT BRAKE FLUID TO THE SITE AND WE FILLED IT AND PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT SEEMED FINE SO I DROVE THE TRUCK AGAIN GOING TO WORK. WITHIN ANOTHER MILE THE CHIME AND WARNING CAME ON THE DASH AGAIN. AT THAT TIME I PULLED OUT OF TRAFFIC AND PARKED THE TRUCK AT A BANK PARKING LOT. I THEN CALLED FORD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAD THE TRUCK BROUGHT TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME LATER THAT NIGHT THAT MY MASTER CYLINDER AND MY BRAKE BOOSTER BOTH FAILED AND CAUSED THE ISSUE. I CHECKED ON LINE AND FOUND THAT THE NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE ON 2015 FORD F150 TRUCKS WITH THE V6 ECO-BOOST ENGINE, WHICH IS THE SAME ENGINE IN MY TRUCK. BEFORE THE BRAKE ISSUE HAPPENED I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES AND STOPPED AT SEVERAL RED LIGHTS AND INTERSECTIONS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS.

THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SLAMS ON THE BRAKES AFTER JUST PASSING THE END OF A SEMI OR LARGE TRUCK. IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY BUT HAS CONTINUED OVER THE LAST 14 MONTHS. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WE TRADED THE VEHICLE IN THIS LAST WEEK IT STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM .

I PARKED MY VEHICLE AT CAMPING WORLD. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THERE WAS ANY PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. I CAME OUT ABOUT ONE HALF HOUR LATER AND GOT INTO MY VEHICLE. I STARTED THE ENGINE, PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, PUT THE GEARSHIFT IN REVERSE AND WHEN I RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKE A WARNING CAME UP ON THE DASH THAT SAID "LOW BRAKE FLUID". THE VEHICLE HAD JUST STARTED MOVING IN REVERSE. I STEPPED DOWN ON THE SERVICE BRAKE PEDAL IN IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, THERE WAS NO BRAKING ACTION AT ALL. I HADE TO USE THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP. THIS FAILURE HAPPENED WITH NO WARNING AND WAS A TOTAL SERVICE BRAKE FAILURE. I FOUND NO LEAKS AT THE WHEELS OR ANYWHERE UNDER THE VEHICLE. MY NEXT STOP WAS TO PICKUP MY 26 FOOT TRAVEL TRAILER TO GET READY FOR VACATION. FORD EMERGENCY SERVICE HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO RON DUPRATT FORD IN DIXON CALIFORNIA FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM INVOLVES THE MASTER CYLINDER/BRAKE BOOSTER.

THIS HAPPENS AT SPEEDS OF 20 TO 35 MPH.HAS ALSO KEPT ASSISTING LEFT IN A LEFT TURN WHEN I STOPPED TURNING LEFT. IT IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS SERIOUS ATTENTION. I HAVE TAKEN TRUCK 2 TIMES TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER, BERT WOLFE FORD. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPROGRAMMED THE STEERING. THE 2ND TIME I LEFT THE TRUCK FROM MONDAY MORNING GO FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THEY TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND CLAIM THEY CAN FIND NO FAULTS. I PICK THE TRUCK UP FROM THE DEALER, AND THE SAME ISSUE HAPLENS THREE TIMES ON THE WAY HOME.

STRUCTURE:BODY, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE IMAGE IN THE DRIVER SIDE REAR VIEW IS DISTORTED INTO DUAL OR BLURRED IMAGE. IT IS DIFFICULT TO CAPTURE WHILE MOVING, BUT IS, ESCALATED WHEN MULTIPLE VEHICLES AND LANES ARE PRESENT. ESCALATED EVEN FURTHER IN INCLEMENT AND NIGHT DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE SPOT MIRROR IS INTEGRATED WITH THE MAIN REARVIEW MIRROR FURTHER DISTRACTING THE DRIVER FROM THE ROAD AHEAD AS WELL AS POINTS TO THE SAME LINE OF HORIZON THAT PROVES TO BE BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER REARVIEW MIRRORS, MAKING SIDE AND REAR SAFETY CUSHION OBSERVATION INEFFECTIVE AND INEFFICIENT. MANY CITIZENS INSTALL PICK UP BED TRUCK CAPS TO PROTECT THEIR BELONGINGS. THE DESIGN OF THESE MIRRORS ALONE IS DETRIMENTAL TO SAFETY OBSERVATION. ADD IN DEFECTIVE PERFORMANCE SITS ON THE SLOPE OF RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT. WHICH BRINGS ME TO THE INDENTED SIGNALING PROGRAMED INTO THE TURN INDICATORS. THIS INDENTED FEATURE PROMOTES UNSAFE TURNING/LANE CHANGE MANEUVERS. USING THE 100 FT. RULE. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE COMPLETE A SAFE LANE CHANGE AND SHARE THE ROAD WITH OTHER DRIVERS IN THE TIME ALLOTTED 3 FLASHES. THREE BEFORE , THREE DURING AND THREE AFTER IS PUSHING A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER. NONE THE LESS IS THE ACCEPTED COURTEOUS DRIVER RULE, NOT TO MENTION THE RULE OF LAW. AT THE VERY LEAST THIS MIRROR SHOULD HAVE A WARNING OF POOR VISUAL WHEN INSTALLING TRUCK CAP AND DEALER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO WARN PROSPECT THEREOF. AS WELL AS THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO OFFER AN OPTIONAL APPLICATION. SAFE CARS SAVE LIVES. THIS PHOTO EXAMINES THE DEFECT OCCURRING AT CENTER ANGLE OF MIRROR. THE DEFECT IS MORE PRONOUNCED MOVING TOWARDS THE EDGE. BUT DEFINITELY OCCURS BEFORE THE LINE CAUSED BY AUTO DIMMING FILM. ( UNABLE TO UPLOAD PHOTO) BUT AVAILABLE ON REQUEST. UPDATE! 5/11/2017 AS OF NOW I AM ALLOWING FOMCO TO REPAIR AND REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE MIRROR. I STILL BELIEVE IT TO BE A SAFETY DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE REMOVED UPON VERIFICATION OF TOWING INTENTION.
