THE BACK DOORS WILL LOCK AND U CAN'T UNLOCK THEN. I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR A COUPLE YEARS. I'VE HAD BOTH BACK DOORS LOCK ON ME FOR 3 DAYS I COULD NOT OPEN EITHER. THAN THEY UNLOCK. I STILL HAVE THE RIGHT REAR DOOR LOCKED . SAFETY CONCERNS IF YOU WERE INVOLED IN A CRASH AND HAD PASSENGERS IN THE BACK THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT. I NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY WILL UNLOCK

RADIATOR FAN TURNS ON AFTER APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES OF VEHICLE RUNNING AND CONTINUES TO RUN UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THIS STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 60K MILES.

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEED AND MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO 3RD WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING MY REAR TIRES TO LOCK UP AND SKID. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. I HAVE THE TRUCK AT THE FORD DEALER NOW WAITING FOR THEM TO CALL ME BACK. I KNOW MY MODEL YEAR IS NOT INVOLVED WITH THE NATIONAL RECALL BUT I FELL LIKE IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. AS DESCRIBED IN THE 2011-2012 RECALL.

THE SAME PROBLEM EXISTED WITH THIS TRUCK AS WITH THE TRUCKS THAT WERE RECALLED. WHY WASN'T M Y TRUCK INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE MOVING AT SPEED BELOW 10 MPH, BUT USING THE BRAKE AT TIMES, MY "LOW BRAKE FLUID" WARNING INDICATOR CAME ON AFTER DRIVING ONLY 200 YARDS. EVEN AFTER FILLING THE BRAKE FLUID CONTAINER, IT AGAIN CAME ON AFTER ONLY ABOUT 500 YARDS. I CAREFULLY TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER WHO FOUND THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS IS IDENTICAL TO THE FORD RECALL #16S24. HOWEVER FORD SAYS THAT MY VIN IS NOT AMONG THE RECALL LIST, BUT OBVIOUSLY THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE THAT EXHIBITS THE IDENTICAL RECALL THAT FORD DESCRIBES.

POWER TRAIN
SOMETIMES VEHICLE WILL START OR GET STUCK IN 5TH EITHER FROM THE START OR DURING DECELERATION. ENGINE REVS, BUT FORWARD MOTION COMPROMISED. MORE CONCERNING IS THE INTERMITTENT DOWNSHIFTING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SPEEDOMETER HAS FAILED AND TURNS OFF, READS 0 RMP. GEAR INDICATOR AND TRAMSMISSION POSITION WILL DROP TO 1ST, GO BACK TO 5TH, AND WAVER ANYWHERE IN BETWEEN. THIS HAS EVEN LOCKED UP MY REAR WHEELS AT 70MPH. PRETTY SCARY! THIS HAS HAPPENED A HANDFUL OF TIMES NOW. THANKFULLY, I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL, GET TO THE SHOULDER, KILL THE ENGINE, RESTART AND GO. I WROTE THIS TODAY B/C I GOT A WRENCH LIGHT FINALLY, SO HOPEFULLY THEY CAN DIAGNOSE THIS INTERMITTENT ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES
~95% BRAKE POWER LOSS. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, AND ONCE STARTED THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON. BRAKE FUNCTION WAS REDUCED TO ABOUT 5% OF NORMAL FUNCTION. REFILLED FLUID IN RESERVOIR AND ALL FLUID WAS LOST DURING FIRST 5 MILES OF DRIVING. AT THIS TIME THERE WAS ONLY ABOUT 5% OF BRAKE POWER REMAINING AND THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE STOPPED USING GEAR DOWNSHIFTS AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I CHECKED OVER THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NO APPARENT FLUID LOSS IN THE ENGINE BAY OR THE BRAKE LINES. TOOK TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A MASTER CYLINDER LEAK INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS PROBLEM IS AN ACTIVE RECALL WITH 2013 AND 2014 MODEL YEAR F-150'S, HOWEVER MY MANUFACTURE DATE DID NOT FALL WITHIN THIS RECALL.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE EXPERIENCES HARD DOWNSHIFT FROM HIGHER TO LOWER GEARS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, CAUSING REAR WHEELS TO SKID AND VEHICLE TO JERK. VEHICLE LOOSES POWER WITH RPM INDICATOR ON DASH SHOWING ENGINE REVVING AT OR ABOVE 1,500 TO 2,500 RPMS WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL ROADS AND STREETS. WHEN STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION THE ENGINE RPMS WILL CLIMB TO 1,500 TO 2,000 AND THE VEHICLE WILL NO MOVE. THE WRENCH INDICATOR HAS COME ON 3 TIMES BUT GOES OFF IF VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DOES NOT STORE ANY CODES TO INDICATE THE VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS. HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO LOCAL FORD DEALER ON 4 OCCASIONS ONLY TO BE INFORMED THAT NO CODES WERE PRESENT AND VEHICLE DID NOT ACT UP WHILE IN THEIR POSSESSION. ALSO INFORMED BY DEALER THAT UNLESS CODE IS DISPLAYED DURING DIAGNOSTIC TEST FORD MOTOR WILL NOT PAY FOR REPAIRS UNLESS CODE IS DISPLAYED.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 65-70 MPH. SPEEDOMETER STOPS FUNCTIONING AND INDICATES 0 MPH. ODOMETER INDICATES A SERIES OF DASHES "-------". THE TRANSMISSION SPEED REMAINS AT CONSTANT RPM REGARDLESS OF PRESSURE APPLIED TO THROTTLE. INDICATOR FOR POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION/REDUCED POWER/ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL MOMENTARILY APPEARS. DRIVER APPLIES PRESSURE TO THROTTLE AND HEARS THE ENGINE RESPONSE, BUT THERE'S NO APPARENT RESPONSE IN THE DRIVETRAIN. DRIVE COASTS OFF HIGHWAY AND SHIFTS FROM NEUTRAL BACK INTO DRIVE. IS ABLE TO GET BACK INTO A GEAR. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING SEEMS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY.
