ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
BOUGHT A BRAND NEW, 2016 F150 LARIAT V8 4X4. AT CIRCA 2500 MILES THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MAKE AN UNUSUAL NOISE WHEN DRIVING AT 45 TO 60-MPH. TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIR TO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP HEARD THE NOISE ALSO, BUT WERE NOT ABLE TO LOCATE/FIX IT. THEY ADVISED ME TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE CAR TO SEE IF THE NOISE INCREASED. AT CIRCA 3750 MILES, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND TIME SINCE THE NOISE WAS STILL PRESENT AND EVIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS KEPT THE CAR FOR 10 DAYS, AND ALTHOUGH THE NOISE STILL CAN BE HEARD, THEY DEALERSHIP IS INFORMING ME THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO LOCATE AND FIX THE NOISE. THEY HAVE INSTRUCTED ME TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE ALTHOUGH THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. I AM WORRIED TO PICK UP A CAR THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED, THAT HAS A NOISE THAT WAS NOT PRESENT WHEN NEW, AND THAT IS HAPPENING WHEN DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE DEALERSHIP/ FORD MUST ASSUME OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE SINCE THEY CAN'T FIX IT, AND CAN'T ADVISE CUSTOMERS TO KEEP DRIVING THE VEHICLE "SINCE WE CAN'T FIND WERE THE NOISE IS COMING FROM, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT". *TR

DOOR LOCKS FREEZING IN COLD (<32%) WEATHER. THIS IS MOSTLY A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE, BUT COULD, GIVEN THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES, BE A SAFETY ISSUE WHERE IMMEDIATE INGRESS/EGRESS IS REQUIRED.

PURCHASED TRUCK NEW, AT AROUND 5000 MILES THE DRIVERS DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE, AFTER REPEATEDLY SLAMING THE DOOR THE LATCH FINALLY LATCHED, IT HAPPEND SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID I NEEDED NEW LATCHES IN BOTH DOORS. THAY SAID IT IS A ISSUE ON ONLY THE UPPER LEVELS. AFTER WAITING A WEEK I TOOK THE TRUCK IN THAN THEY TOLD ME SOME OF THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER AND DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE THEM. I LEFT THE TRUCK UNTIL THEY GET IT FIXED. SEEMS LIKE A MAJOR SAFTY ISSUE IF YOU HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE DOOR OPEN.

SINCE THEN THEY APPEAR TO BE WORKING AS DESIGNED. WHEN THEY WERE ACTING UP WITH THE TRUCK IN PARK OR MOVING I COULD PUSH THE PEDDLE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD WITH LITTLE RESISTANCE. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH, STRUCTURE:BODY
DURING TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING (32 F) ONE OR MORE OF THE DOOR LOCKS AND/OR LATCHES WILL FREEZE AND BECOME INOPERABLE. POWER LOCK BUTTONS WILL NOT FUNCTION TO UNLOCK THE DOOR AND DOOR HANDLES WILL NOT OPEN THE DOORS (FROM THE OUTSIDE). DOORS HAVE TO BE UNLOCKED FROM THE INSIDE, BY MANUALLY CYCLING THE PULL KNOB MULTIPLE TIMES TO LOOSEN THE FROZEN LOCK. FROZEN DOOR LATCHES ARE ONLY ABLE TO BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE (USING THE INSIDE HANDLES). AT TIMES, THE FROZEN DOOR LOCKS AND LATCHES WILL NOT RE-SECURE THE DOORS AND THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK OR THE LATCH WILL NOT SECURE AND THE DOOR WILL REMAIN UNSECURED/OPEN AND/OR UNLOCKED. TWICE I HAVE HAD THE DOORS POP OPEN WHILE DRIVING. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NEW 2016 FORD F150 XLT 2.7L ECOBOOST TRUCK. ON DECEMBER 6, 2016 I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT THIS TRUCK DID NOT ADEQUATELY STOP IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WITH AMPLE STOPPING DISTANCE. I HAVE DRIVEN TRUCKS OF THIS SAME SIZE TOWING A BOAT AND UNDER AN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS GOING DOWNHILL AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP WITH LESS DISTANCE THAN I HAD WITH THIS TRUCK TOWING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I WAS NOT SPEEDING AND ONLY TRAVELING BETWEEN 30 TO 35 MILES AN HOUR ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION, THE SPEED LIMIT FOR THIS AREA IS 45 RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF THIS CONSTRUCTION. I WAS TRAVELING IN THE LEFT HAND LANE PLANNING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO A ROAD THAT WAS A FEW MILES AWAY AT A MAIN INTERSECTION. SEVERAL VEHICLES AHEAD OF ME SOME INDIVIDUAL DECIDED THEY WERE GOING TO JUST MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN TO GET TO A STREET CLEAR ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY CAUSING EVERYONE BEHIND THEM TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES, HAVING TWO TO THREE CAR LENGTHS IN FRONT OF ME I HAD SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND THE TRUCK WAS SLOWING DOWN BUT NOT FAST ENOUGH SO THEN I PUT MY OTHER FOOT ON THE BRAKES AND STOOD ON THE BRAKES HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL AND STILL THE TRUCK WAS NOT STOPPING ABSOLUTELY NO CHANGE IN THE RESPONSE OF IT BREAKING, KEEP IN MIND I WAY AROUND 235 LBS. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY BRAND NEW TRUCK WITHOUT EVEN HAVING ITS FIRST OIL CHANGE HAS FAILED TO STOP AND EVERY OTHER VEHICLE ON THE ROAD WITH LESS DISTANCE THAN ME WAS ABLE TO STOP . I WAS ALSO PONDERING IF THE ECOBOOST SYSTEM MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO IT SOMEHOW WITH THE START AND STOPPING OF THE MOTOR CAUSING SOME SORT OF PRESSURE LOSS IN THE SYSTEM. I NO LONGER TRUST THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE DRIVEN FORD TRUCKS FOR OVER 20 YEARS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN JULY WITH 63 MILES ON IT. A MONTH OR SO LATER I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I TOOK TO THE DEALER AND THEY LOOKED AT IT AND TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE PEDAL TO GO TO THE FLOOR UNDER PRESSURE BECAUSE THE SYSTEM CALCULATED HOW MUCH PRESSURE WAS NEEDED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. TODAY 12-6-2016 I WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WHEN STOPPING, WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STILL MOVING. I DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALER THIS MORNING AND WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY. I THINK IT IS A BAD MASTER CYLINDER AND THINK THE STORY ABOUT THE COMPUTER CONTROLLING THE BRAKES IS JUST TO GET ME OUT OF THE SHOP. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
JUST BOUGHT OUR TRUCK 3 WEEKS AGO AND THE REAR-CAMERA WENT OUT. FROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND THAT THE CAMERA HARNESS WAS CHEWED BY A RODENT AND HAD TO REPLACE THE HARNESS. PER MESSAGES OFF THE WEBSITE, FOUND THAT ALL WIRE HARNESSES IN FORD TRUCKS AND OTHER VEHICLES, HAVE A SOY COATING ON THEM THAT ATTRACTS RODENTS. IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO ALL VEHICLES NOW OF DAYS, THEY BETTER FIND A DIFFERENT WAY TO COAT WIRES IN ALL VEHICLES. MAJOR PROBLEM AND VERY COSTLY. IT WILL RUN US $1800.00 FOR THE FIX AND ITS A BRAND NEW TRUCK.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE PRESSURE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SIGNALS. DROVE HOME CAREFULLY AND CUT OFF THE VEHICLE. RESTARTED THE TRUCK AGAIN AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS GETTTING READY TO GO OUT OF TOWN TOWING A 7000 POUND CAMPER. IF THE BRAKES HAD FAILED WHILE TOWING THE CAMPER IT COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED. READ ON LINE THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THE 2013 & 2014 F-150S MASTER CYLINDER BUT NOT ON THE 2015 & 2016. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL !!!! I OWNED THE TRUCK FOR APPROXIMATELY 9 MONTHS AND IT HAD 9700 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS OCCURRED.
