STEERING
THE VEHICLE FEELS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING. STEERING DRIFTS, WANDERS OR FEELS "LIGHT" AT SPEEDS APPROXIMATELY 25-55 MPH, WHEN CHANGING LANES OR TURNING THRU CURVE IN ROAD. THE ISSUE OCCURS EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE RELATED TO ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPAS), STEERING ANGLE SENSOR, AND/OR SOFTWARE RELATED. IT DOES NOT FEEL LIKE A MECHANICAL ISSUE ... NOT BAD ALIGNMENT, TIRE PRESSURE, TIRE WEAR, ETC. IT FEELS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED HERE FROM FORD F150 FORUM: SSM 47589 - 2016-2018 F-150 - STEERING SYSTEM PULL, DRIFT, AND/OR WANDER - DIAGNOSTIC UPDATE SOME 2016-2018 F-150 VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A STEERING DRIFT, PULL, AND/OR WANDER. TO DIAGNOSE THESE CONDITIONS REFER TO PINPOINT TEST (PPT) H - STEERING SYSTEM PULL, DRIFT, WANDER OR STEERING WHEEL IS OFF CENTER IN WORKSHOP MANUAL (WSM) SECTION, 211-00. DO NOT USE PPT I - POOR RETURNABILITY STICKY STEERING OR BINDING TO DIAGNOSE DRIFT, PULL, AND/OR WANDER SYMPTOMS. THESE PINPOINT TESTS ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BEING UPDATED.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, SINCE NEW, THE VEHICLE BRAKES ARE APPLIED WHEN PASSING AN 18 WHEEL TRUCK/TRAILER (SOMETIMES) CAUSING A RAPID 15-20 MPH HARD BRAKING DECREASE IN SPEED JOLTING AND SCARING THE OCCUPANTS OF THE FORD. NEARLY REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES. HAVE CONTACTED FORD BUT THEY DID NOT CARE NOR WERE THEY CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. VERY DANGEROUS GOING FROM 65 TO 45 WHILE PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND CARS ARE BEHIND ME. THIS IS A RANDOM OCCURRENCE MAKING IT EVEN MORE SCARY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT SINCE 2015 AND I AM AFRAID TO USE THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FOR FEAR OF BEING HIT FROM BEHIND ON THE HIGHWAY.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TRUCK WAS GOING DOWN ROAD AT NORMAL SPEED AND IT LOST THROTTLE AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS WE HAVE TO PULL OVER, TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND THERE IS A WARNING LIGHT LITTLE WRENCH THEN DISAPPEARS. THE TRUCK GOES DOWN THE ROAD AGAIN FINE. THIS SITUATION IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE ON A FOUR OR FIVE WIDE FREEWAY NEAR PHOENIX AREA AND IT HAPPENS. TRAFFIC IS MOVING AND WHEN IT HAPPENS YOU LOOSE ALL SPEED AND IF YOUR NOT ABLE TO GET OVER IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUSE FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE ALONG WITH OTHERS BEHIND. WE HAVE BEEN GOOGLING THE PROBLEM AND IT APPEARS THAT MANY OTHERS ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME SITUATION. BUT WHEN YOU CALL FORD THEY AREN'T FAMILIAR OR THEY CAN REPLACE THE TROTTLE BODY PART AT AROUND 500.00. THIS HAS GONE ON FOR YEARS AND NOT SURE IF THEY HAVE EVERY FOUND A REAL SOLUTION OR REDESIGNED THE PART TO WORK CORRECTLY. COULD YOU PLEASE ADVISE ON HOW WE SHOULD GO FORWARD. HAVE YOU HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH, MY VEHICLE WENT LIMP, ABRUPTLY SHOOK AS I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID A COLLISION. MY INDICATOR LIGHTS LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE..."HILL ASSIST", "SERVICE ADVANCETRAK" " THE "WRENCH" ADN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. TERRIFIED, I GOT STOPPED, TOOK THE KEYS OUT AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER. THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT IT WAS A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. MY SERVICE MANAGER REQUESTED THAT I CALL FORD CUSTOMER CARE. I DID THAT IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE DIAGNOSIS WITH MY REPAIR BEING ABOVE $650. AFTER A WEEK OF RESEARCH, FORD CAME BACK AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME OUT AT ALL. THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM INCLUDING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS AND 150,000 MILES, HOWEVER I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD NOT RECEIVE ANY HELP FOR THE SAME PART. I EXPERIENCED A PREKNOW CONDITION WITH A PART ON MY TRUCK THAT WAS FAULTY WITH MYSELF TO BLAME. IF I HAD KNOWN ANY OF THIS I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE.

ENGINE
ENGINE HAS STALLED AND GONE INTO 'LIMP' MODE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 4 TIMES IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS. HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN TRUCK OFF AND THEN ON TO RESUME NORMAL FUNCTION. GOT ERROR CODES ABOUT HILL ASSIST NOT WORKING WHEN TURNING THE TRUCK BACK ON. TOOK TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE HAVING EXACT SAME ISSUE AND IT THE RESOLUTION WAS REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT MIGHT BE IT BUT DIDN'T WANT TO DIAGNOSIS IT AS THAT UNTIL THEY COULD REPLICATE. AGAIN VOICED CONCERN TO THEM THAT IF THE VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY THAT COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE BUT APPEARS MULTIPLE OTHER MODELS AND YEARS HAVE HAD THIS RECALL ALREADY DONE.
