ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The engine fails to start consistently using pushbutton and remote start on the ignition fob. It is not available as needed. As an elderly man and partally disabled wife, the inconsistant nature inhibits reliable usage of the vehicle if an emergency occurs. The problem has been reproduced by Kirk Brothers FORD in Vicksburg, Mississippi but at this time (vehicle dropped of on 6/21/22) no success has occurred to determine the cause! Only the local service department has worked on the vehicle and only one technician has been assigned for over 10 working days. Problem first appeared as intermittent in May 2022, and progressively got to the point vehicle would not start normally.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Our Ford Vehicle would suddenly lose power as we were driving it and our wrench light came on. I had to pull over as best I could as everything stopped. It certainly could have put us in a dangerous situation at any time we were driving it. We did bring into a Ford Dealer and it was diagnosed with a bad Throttle Body. It was repaired at full cost to us. We do not feel this was a problem caused by us and was, apparently,04/18/ a frequent issue with some Ford vehicles but never recalled. At this time, we are looking for reimbursement for the cost of the repair and labor.

ENGINE
The exhaust manifold rear stud broke causing leaking emissions to potentially be released into the cab of the vehicle putting the driver and any passengers at risk. This is a known problem with Ford's 3.5L twin turbo eco-boost engines and they are failing to recognize this problem. It has been confirmed that this is the issue and no other entity has been involved in this issue. There is no, nor has been any warning lamps or messages with this issue. It is available to be inspected if needed.

POWER TRAIN
Riding on expressway in high speed lane. Felt like I was hit in the rear, jerking my head and body pretty severely. Speed decreased to 30 miles an hour almost instantly. Eventually, regained power after 15-30 seconds. Wrench light came on and stayed on for about 2 minutes. It happened a second time in same day at a lower speed. Immediately took car to dealer so not sure how often it would reoccur. Have since come to learn that the cause is a bad molded leadframe connector in transmission. There have been alerts on older F150 models but not on my year. I know at least 2 other people with same issue on their 2015 models. Dealer said that it's impossible to get parts because so many people are having same issue. In my opinion, this is a major safety problem especially if it happens at high speeds with a semi behind you or in bad weather conditions.

Manifold bolts have failed my 3.5L Ecoboost. Fumes are consistently entering the cabin area because they are warped and leaking. It seems like a carbon monoxide safety issue. It is definately an engineering failure because of the configuration of the bolt pattern. I understand that it is a common problem for that engine.

POWER TRAIN
While driving the truck, the engine RPM increased suddenly, and the rear wheel locked while traveling at about 55 mph. The vehicle stopped quick enough that caused the seat belts to lock. Took the truck to the dealership and was informed that the leed frame for the transmission was not properly communicating with the truck computer. We were told that the vehicle was in risk of shifting into reverse at anytime and not to drive the truck until it is fixed. The are other F-Series trucks that have been recalled for this issue but my truck was not included in the recall.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Panoramic Sun Roof It has failed twice now. The Date below is the second failure. It happened the first time right after I bought the truck. I had the Ford Dealership fix it once and it has happened again. It costs a lot to get it fixed. Components break down inside sliding track causing sunroof to be lodged open. Once this happens, the Sunroof sticks and can not be controlled (opened or closed) This seems to be major problem with 2015 F150's . Tons of complaints online. Yes, this is a safety issue.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, an abnormal banging and crackling sound was coming from the engine. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to coast the vehicle to an independent mechanic and upon inspection, the mechanic determined that the vehicle had experienced engine failure. The contact was then referred to the dealer for assistance by the independent mechanic. The contact initially called North Country Ford (10401 Woodcrest Dr NW, Coon Rapids, MN) and was given a six-week estimate for an appointment. The contact then called another dealer and was given a three-week estimate for an appointment. The vehicle was then towed to that dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed with engine failure. The contact was also informed that the main engine bearing along with both turbochargers needed to be replaced. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 79,689. The consumer stated the vehicle was traded in for a Dodge Ram.

ENGINE
After the dealer performed the 100k major service the engine began, periodically, to stall. The stall could occur while stopped (at a light or to make turn), while in park and only idling, or when the vehicle was in motion at less than 25 mph. If it stalled while starting a turn, then there was a serious risk of major collision from oncoming traffic. In said turn, more than a reasonable amount of time or distance was allowed to make the turn safely. However, if the oncoming vehicle did not recognized the vehicle was stalling, or had otherwise failed to properly evaluate the situation early enough then a collision would be likely. A scan of multiple Internet web sites found thousands of people, with model years before and after my vehicle, having the same or similar issue.

When I come to a stop, either at a red light or stop sign, and I have my foot on the brake, and come to a complete stop. The engine would idle rough and then would either die on me, or if I have time, I would put the driver selector switch into neutral and give it some gas before the engine quits. I have a OBD2 reader for my IPad, and when this happens, usually the codes P0365, or P0369 occur. I have had my truck into the shop numerous times to get fixed, and they have replaced the Cam Sensor for those P0365, and P0369 codes, but the problem still exists.

The oil pan is leaking oil and this is a prevalent problem with 2015 through 2021 years of many Ford models. The leaked oil can and is running back onto the vehicle under carrage and is a fire potential when coating the exhaust system which has high heat during operation. The problem has been reproduced and is recognized by the manufacturer. The later model years have had a redesign to attempt to correct the issue however the earlier 2015 - 2017 nothing has been done No warnings or messages are given that this issue is present. Some vehicles have had this repaired at significant cost as many as 3 times only for the issue to reappear again.
