SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE HILL START ASSIST/TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON. A FEW HUNDRED MILES LATER, MORE DASH LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND THEN ALL DASH LIGHTS WENT OFF AND THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER. I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. AFTER A MOMENT, IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. AFTER A FEW MORE MILES, IT DID IT AGAIN, AND THIS TIME WHEN IT POWERED DOWN, THE ABS BREAK SYSTEM WENT ON AND CREATED A TERRIBLE GRINDING NOISE AND BROUGHT ME TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I LIMPED IT ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, TRYING TO FIND AN EXIT, AND THE TRUCK REPEATEDLY DID THE LIGHTS FLASHING/POWER DOWN/BREAKS APPLIED SEVERAL MORE TIMES AT LOW SPEED. THE NEAREST EXIT WAS ABOUT 10 MILES, SO I HAD TO CONTINUE TO DO THIS FOR SOME TIME. ONCE I WAS AT AN EXIT, I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES. WHEN I RE-CONNECTED THE BATTERY AND STARTED THE TRUCK, EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE, BUT NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I DECIDED TO JUST RISK IT AND KEEP DRIVING, SO THAT I COULD GET HOME. ABOUT 100 MILES LATER IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. I WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO HOME TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TAKE BACK ROADS HOME. IT DID IT A FEW MORE TIMES AND THEN QUIT DOING IT. THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS MY TRUCK BASICALLY STOPPED WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 MPH, AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, AND LEFT ME NO OPTION BUT TO EITHER BE BROKEN DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY OR DRIVE AT VERY LOW SPEEDS ON THE SHOULDER. THE FORD DEALER THAT I TOOK THE TRUCK TO TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND ALL DIAGNOSTICS COME BACK CLEAN, SO THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX ANYTHING. OTHERS ONLINE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME/SIMILAR ISSUE HAVE SAID THAT FORD SAID THAT IT IS A DAMAGED THROTTLE BODY THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, BUT THE DEALERSHIP THAT I WENT TO DID NOT SUGGEST THAT AS THE CAUSE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE TRAVELING AT 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, THE TRUCK WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" AND I ALMOST LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ON BOTH OCCASIONS. THIS HAPPENED TWO TIMES DURING THE SAME TRIP. THE ACCELERATOR WOULDN'T WORK, POWER STEERING WENT OUT, AND ALL STABILIZATION CONTROL SYSTEMS WENT DOWN. I HAD TO PULL OVER A P2112 CODE WAS READ FROM THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE PROBLEM IS FROM A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY WHICH MANY, MANY CONSUMERS HAVE REPORTED. FORD DENIES RESPONSIBILITY. THIS TRUCK COST $63,000 AND HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT. THE FAILURE OF THIS PART IS CAUSING WIDESPREAD RISK TO DRIVERS AND SHOULD BE FORCED ON FORD TO REPLACE WITH A LASTING PART.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WE HAD A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE THIS SUMMER AND HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED AND TOWED. DURING DRIVING, WE LOST ALL POWER, MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE! WHEN I ASKED FORD ABOUT IT, THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE ISSUE; HOWEVER THEY ISSUED SEVERAL RECALLS REGARDING THIS. THIS TRUCK ISN'T IN THE RECALL, WHICH MAKES NO SENSE. IT IS EVIDENT THAT FORD HAS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THEIR THROTTLE BODIES I HAVE SPOKEN WITH FORD SEVERAL TIMES, THEY ARE NOT HELPFUL AND ARE REFUSING TO PAY FOR THIS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL PUMP ON THE 2015. F150 2.7 L ECOBOOST IS FAULTY. FORD HAS RECALLED ALL OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS ENGINE EXCEPT THE F150 MODEL. WHY? 2 FUEL PUMPS HAVE GONE BAD ON MY F150. AFTER THE 3 FUEL PUMP WAS PUT IN FORD ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE PCM SO THE FUEL PUMP WOULD WORK. MY VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN IN TRAFFIC WHEN THE PUMP FAILED CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
ELECTRICAL POWER CONNECTOR FOR REAR SLIDING WINDOW DEFROSTER BROKE AT ITS ATTACHMENT (FACTORY SOLDERED) POINT TO THE REAR SLIDING WIDOW GLASS. THIS LEAVES THE DEFOGGER INOPERABLE AND ELIMINATES REAR VISIBILITY DUE TO FOG/FROST/ICE BUILD-UP. VEHICLE IS JUST OUT OF ITS 3 YEAR WARRANTY AND HAS LESS THAN 28,000 MILES. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SERVICE IS UNWILLING TO RECOGNIZE/CORRECT THE FACTORY DEFECT AND CLAIMED TO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF SIMILAR ISSUES FOR THE 2015 MODEL. THIS DEFECT IS APPARENTLY SIMILAR TO THAT WHICH FORD HAS RECOGNIZED FOR SIMILAR 2013 MODELS, ISSUING A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (FORD TSB ASI-32259)

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL ABILITY TO BRAKE. THE FOOT PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESISTANCE OR ACTION ON THE VEHICLE. THE PARKING BRAKE ALSO FAILED ALL ABILITY TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP THE VEHICLE. BY SOME MIRACLE I WAS ABLE TO GET IN THE EMERGENCY LANE AND LET THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY SLOW DOWN AND COME TO A STOP. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKES HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT HIGHWAY, WITH NO OBSTACLES OF ANY TYPE ON THE ROAD AND NO EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE.
