TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE LOW BRAKE FLUID INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

STARTED TRUCK AND WARNING LIGHT AND SOUND NOTIFIED ME OF LOW BRAKE FLUID. FOUND RESERVOIR VERY LOW, ADDED FLUID, APPLIED PRESSURE TO BRAKE PEDAL AND LOOKED FOR LEAKS, NO LEAKS FOUND. BRAKE PEDAL FELT SPONGY AND NOT FIRM, STARTED TO MOVE BUT BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. FOUND RESERVOIR ALMOST EMPTY AGAIN WITH NO LEAKS TO BE FOUND UNDER THE VEHICLE OR AT THE WHEELS. HAD TRUCK TOWED TO DEALERSHIP.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING CAME ON, AND SECONDS LATER THE BRAKES FELT SPONGY AND WOULD NOT RETURN. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO A GAS STATION AND ADDED A BOTTLE OF BRAKE FLUID TO THE RESERVOIR. THIS GAVE PRESSURE BACK TO THE PEDAL, BUT A SECOND LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND A LOSS OF PRESSURE WAS NOTICED THROUGH PEDAL AGAIN. THE PEDAL NEEDS TO BE ON THE FLOOR TO GETTING ANY STOPPING ACTION. I BELIEVE THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER HAS A LEAK THAT IS CAUSING THIS SAFETY HAZARD.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED MY 2015 F150 ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THERE IS A TSB FOR A VALVE ON THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK. TSB STATES EMISSION RELATED WITH WARRANTY COVERED. FORD STATING IT WAS BUILT IN CANADA SO DON'T HAVE TO WARRANTY IN AMERICA. VEHICLE CUTS OUT AFTER STOPPING AND THEN ACCELERATING. HOW CAN FORD SELL A VEHICLE TO BE USED IN AMERICA WITH A KNOWN ISSUE AND NOT BE LIABLE? THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. TSB 15-0171 ENGINE CODE P2450.. PART NUMBER INVOLVED IS SAME ON CANADA OR AMERICAN VEHICLES.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHILE IN MOTION, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON A HIGHWAY AND SOMETIMES SLOWER SPEEDS ON TOWN STREETS TOO, MY TRUCK WOULD SUDDENLY START FLASHING MULTIPLE ERRORS AND THE THROTTLE WOULD IMMEDIATELY BE UNRESPONSIVE. IN 1 SECOND I WAS DEAD IN THE WATER. THE TRUCK WOULD IMMEDIATELY START SLOWING DOWN DUE TO LACK OF PROPULSION AND THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE A VERY LOW ROUGH IDLE. THE THROTTLE WOULD NOT WORK AT ANY SPEED. THE ONLY WAY TO RECOVER CONTROL OF PROPULSION WAS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP RIGHT WHERE THE PROBLEM OCCURRED (VERY DANGEROUS), TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE. AFTER RESTART THE PROBLEM WOULD COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR. UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM APPEARED 3 TIMES IN 1 WEEK, ALL WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING UPHILL. I WAS LUCKY TO NOT BE IN TRAFFIC AT THE TIME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPORTED THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW THROTTLE BODY, AND THAT THIS ISSUE WAS COMMON AND THAT A RECALL WAS NOT IN PLACE. THE REPAIR COST IS OVER $500.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ALERT - ALERT I WROTE BEFORE ABOUT TROUBLE WITH THE 2015 FORD F150 STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING. I MECHANIC TOOK OURS OUT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND IT DID THE SAME FOR HIM ON THE INTERSTATE. PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES OR HAS SEVERE INJURIES DUE TO VEHICLE STALLING AT RANDOM AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I AM JUST GLAD HE WASN'T PASSING ON A 2 LANE ROAD OR PULLING A TRAILER. I CAN'T BELIEVE FORD HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS - IT'S ON YOU TUBE. THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF SPEEDING UP - IMAGINE YOU HAVE YOUR KIDS, ETC IN THE TRUCK, IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR INTERSTATE WITH CARS ALL AROUND YOU AND YOU STALL OUT COMPLETELY. PLEASE, PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. IT ONLY HAPPENS IN MOTION.

2015 F150 - WITHOUT WARNING - DRIVING AT 30 MPH ON A ROAD AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. HILL ASSIST CAME ON ALONG WITH SKID ANTI-SWAY MOTION AND A WRENCH APPEARED IN THE INDICATOR LIGHT. TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT RAN UNTIL I REACHED 45 MPH ON A 4 LANE MAIN ROAD AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE AND RESTART AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY IF I HAD BEEN ON AN INTERSTATE WITH MULTIPLE LANES. I AM SURPRISED FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS MATTER. IT HAPPENED SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ASAP - I HAVE SEEN POSTINGS WHERE OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH AND STARTING TO FALL ASLEEP BEHIND THE WHEEL, THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT TO AVOID CRASHING INTO A TREE BUT WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED IT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT (DRIVER) SUSTAINED CHEST, HEAD, AND A FRACTURED STERNUM INJURIES WHEN HE HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AND HIS GIRLFRIEND (FRONT PASSENGER) SUSTAINED A BACK INJURIES. BOTH INJURIES REQUESTED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED VIA FLATBED TO IMPOUND LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. *TT *JB CONSUMER STATED I'M VERY SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT TRAVELERS INSURANCE COMPANY JUST TOWED AND DESTROYED THE VEHICLE WHEN I EXPRESSLY TOLD THEM THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THAT THE MEDICAL BENEFITS WERE MAXED OUT. I THOUGHT FOR SURE THAT INSURANCE COMPANIES DISSECTED VEHICLES IN SUCH MAJOR ACCIDENTS AND BEING NOTIFIED BY THE OWNER THAT THE EQUIPMENT WAS FAULTY THAT THEY DID NOT DO A POST MORTEM. MY GIRLFRIEND GOT A BROKEN BACK IN THE INJURY, HAD TO HAVE SURGERY AND WILL MOST LIKELY BE IN PAIN FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE. I COULD NOT WORK OR LIFT ANYTHING OVER 6 MONTHS UNTIL MY STERNUM HEALED ITSELF AND HAD TO LIVE THROUGH PAIN WHILE I HEALED. I STILL FEEL A SMALL FEELING IN MY CHEST.*JB

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING ON A MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY (~7000 FT ELEVATION) IN COLORADO, MY 2015 FORD F150 SUDDENLY LOST SPEED AND VIBRATED WILDLY BEFORE STALLING COMPLETELY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. WHILE STOPPED, THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO VIBRATE. VARIOUS WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED (CHECK ENGINE, HILL ASSIST NOT WORKING, CHECK MANUAL, ETC.) AND I HAD TO TURN OFF MY TRUCK AND RE-START TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES WITHIN 2 HRS BUT THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO TRACK ADDITIONAL METRICS (BUT I MOVED OVER TO A SECONDARY ROAD WITH LITTLE TO NO TRAFFIC) TO RELOCATE TO A SAFE LOCATION. THE 3 ADDITIONAL STALL EVENTS WERE TRIGGERED BETWEEN RPMS OF 1000 AND 2000. AS I APPROACHED 2000 RPMS AND/OR CLIMBED A SLIGHT HILL, I COULD FEEL THE TRUCK BEGIN TO LOSS THROTTLE AND IF I DID NOT BACK OFF ON THE GAS PEDDLE, THE TRUCK WOULD STALL. I AM HAVING MY TRUCK TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP BUT I AM AT 36,747 MILES AND JUST BEYOND MY WARRANTY. I CONSIDER THIS A VERY DANGER SYSTEM FAILURE FOR A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE 2015 F150 3.5 LITER 6-CYLINDER WITH 17,000 MILES ON A CITY STREET AT 30MPH, THE BRAKE FLUID LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WITHIN THE NEXT MILE THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A TOTAL FAILURE OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM; THE RED BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND LOW GEAR, I WAS ABLE TO NARROWLY AVOID CRASHING INTO STOPPED VEHICLES AHEAD OF ME. THE FORD DEALERSHIP'S MECHANIC INITIALLY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A FAILED BRAKE SENSOR. REPLACING THE SENSOR, HOWEVER, FAILED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AS I NOW UNDERSTAND IT, THE BRAKE BOOSTER SEALS WERE RUINED BY A LEAKING MASTER CYLINDER ALTHOUGH NO FLUID WAS EVER SEEN UNDER THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THIS EVENT.

VEHICLE HAD A SUDDEN AND NEAR COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKE CAPABILITY. THE SUDDEN FAILURE WAS NOTED ABOUT 1 HOUR AFTER PREVIOUS, IN WHICH THE VEHICLE HAD NO ISSUES AND NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ACTIVE. BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND THE "LOW BRAKE FLUID" LIGHT CAME ON AND WAR NING SOUNDED FROM THE CONSOLE. BRAKES PROVIDED MINIMAL RESPONSE AND LARGELY HAD TO SLOW DOWN BY COASTING. NO EXTERNAL LEAKS WERE VISIBLE FROM THE VEHICLE NOT DID ANY OF THE BRAKE LINES APPEAR TO BE DAMAGED. WHEN I CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD, THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVE WAS BELOW THE "MIN" LINE. TOPPING IT OFF WITH BRAKE FLUID IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND THE LEVEL WENT BACK TO BELOW "MIN" AFTER ABOUT A 4 MILE DRIVE. TAKING VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP THIS EVENING TO ASCERTAIN CAUSE OF SUDDEN FAILURE.
