SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH THE TRUCK SHUTTERED VIOLENTLY AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. IMMEDIATELY IT FLASHED A WARNING THAT THE "HILL CLIMB ASSIST" MALFUNCTIONED FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY A WRENCH SYMBOL NOTIFYING THAT SERVICE WAS NEEDED THEN ANOTHER WARNING ABOUT THE ADVANCE TRAC SYSTEM THEN BACK TO THE HILL CLIMB ASSIST SYMBOL. ALL OF THIS HAPPENING WHILE THE CAR BEHIND ME IS ALMOST SIDEWAYS TRYING TO AVOID ME. I EVENTUALLY MADE IT TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. AS I READ THE VARIOUS WARNINGS IT SAID TO REFER TO THE OWNERS MANUAL WITH REGARDS TO THE HILL CLIMB ASSIST. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, PULLED OUT THE OWNERS MANUAL ONLY TO FIND A DESCRIPTION OF THE HILL CLIMB ASSIST FEATURE. AFTER WAITING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES I DECIDED TO TURN ON THE IGNITION. THE TRUCK STARTED WITHOUT ISSUE AND I CONTINUED HOME CAUTIOUSLY IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AT 60 MPH (POSTED HIGHWAY PEED LIMIT) THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DOWN-SHIFTED TO A MUCH LOWER GEAR (1ST OR 2ND?), CAUSING ENGINE RPMS TO DRAMATICALLY INCREASE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
AT TEMPERATURES OF 20F-22F WINDSHIELD WIPER PUMP LOSES PRESSURE AND CAN NOT PUMP WIPER FLUID. DEALERSHIP BRINGS TRUCK INSIDE, WARMS TRUCK AND CLAIMS IT WAS FROZEN AND NOW IT WORKS. AFTER DRIVING 15 MINUTES IN 20F-22F PUMP INITIALLY WORKED THEN STARTED TO LOSE PRESSURE AGAIN, RESULTING IN FAILURE TO PUMP WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID. YOU COULD SEE THE PUMP PUMPING LESS AND LESS AS YOU DRIVE. THIS CAUSES A CONDITION WHERE IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT THE WINDOW AND VISION IS IMPAIRED. ALSO USING PREMIUM DEICER WASHER FLUID, NOT STANDARD WIPER FLUID, (RAIN-X DEICER) THAT HAS A TENDENCY TO FREEZE IN THE NORTH EAST DURING WINTER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SEVERAL NON STARTING ISSUES. ON ONE OCCASION, INSTRUMENT PANEL DID NOT COME ON AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH NO INDICATION OF SPEED, ENGINE/TRANSMISSION INFORMATION, AND OTHER VITAL DATA. AFTER SEVERAL RESTARTS, INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON AFTER A 45 SECOND DELAY. A WRENCH WARNING ICON WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY SERVICING DEALER THE FOLLOWING DAY. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, SO NO REPAIR WAS MADE. THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. WE WERE PARKED ON A CITY STREET. THIS TRUCK HAS HAD SEVERAL ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. I HAVE SEVERAL SERVICE RECORDS WHICH I WILL SUPPLY IF NEEDED TO HELP YOUR INVESTIGATION.

DOOR LATCHES ARE FREEZING UP, EVEN AFTER THE RECALL "FIX" OF A WATER DIVERSION SHIELD. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER TO TRY TO HAVE IT PROPERLY FIXED AND THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AS, THE PARTS WE ALREADY INSTALLED. IT HAS BEEN FREEZING UP EVERY TIME IT'S BELOW 32 AND I AM UNABLE TO GET INTO THE BACK SEAT WITHOUT CRAWLING THROUGH THE FRONT AND MANUALLY UNLOCKING FROM WITHIN. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY FACTOR IF THERE WERE TO BE AN ACCIDENT AND ONE OF MY KIDS WAS TRAPPED IN THE BACK, AMONG OTHER ISSUES OF INCONVENIENCE.

DOORS WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED WHEN TEMPERATURES DROP BELOW FREEZING. I HAD MY VEHICLE BROUGHT INTO THE DEALER EARLIER THIS YEAR TO REPLACE THE LATCHES AND INSTALL THE DOOR GUTTER. TODAY WAS THE FIRST FROST SINCE THAT WORK WAS COMPLETED AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT CLOSE ONCE AGAIN. FORDS FIX TO THIS ISSUE DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN AGAIN SO THEY CAN REPLACE THE LATCHES AGAIN. I ATTEMPTED TO CALL FORD TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THEIR FIX IS NOT A PERMANENT FIX. THIS MORNING MY DOOR FLUNG OPEN GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY. WHILE I DID NOT FALL OUT I SUSPECT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME AND FORD NEEDS TO FIND A REAL FIX TO THIS PROBLEM RATHER THAN WASTE TIME ON A SOLUTION THAT HAS PROVEN ITSELF NOT TO FIX THE ISSUE.

I RECENTLY RECEIVED A RECALL 17V-652 FROM FORD FOR AN ISSUE WITH DOOR LATCHES. IN THE RECALL NOTICE THEY STATE IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR TO CALL THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED IMMEDIATELY. MY DOOR HAS SWUNG OPEN TWICE WHILE DRIVING BOTH TIMES WITH MY SONS IN THE FRONT SEAT. MOST RECENTLY THIS MORNING. I CALLED THE DEALER NORTH COUNTRY FORD IN COON RAPIDS MN AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART TO FIX IT. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY SAID TO CALL THE DEALER. TRUCK IS NOT USEABLE IN THE WINTER AS IS. TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT SAFETY CONCERN ON FORD F-150 INTAKE THROTTLE FAILURES. I BELIEVE THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PART FOR A DIFFERENT S/N RANGE OF FORD F-150. THIS VIN WAS NOT IN THE LIST. WHEN THIS FAILS, YOU LOSE ALL POWER AND TRUCK GOES INTO NEUTRAL. WAS TOWING LOADED TRAILER IN 4 LANES OF HIGH SPEED INTERSTATE CITY DRIVING. ALMOST WAS IN SERIOUS ACCIDENT. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE DID NOTHING OR INDICATE THAT THEY WERE GOING TO LOOK AT S/N RANGE IMPACTED. I AM A CHIEF ENGINEER AT CATERPILLAR. I UNDERSTAND THE BUSINESS OF EFFECTIVE S/N AND WHAT IS INCLUDED IN MANDATORY RECALLS. THEIR LACK OF ACTION IS A CONCERN.

WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE FALLS BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES THE DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT UNLOCK ELECTRICALLY OR MANUALLY. THE BACK DOORS HAVE BEEN OPENED MANUALLY AFTER CLIMBING OVER THE CONSOLE INTO THE BACK SEAT AND USING INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BUT THEN HAVE NOT LATCHED FULLY WHEN CLOSING ALLOWING DOOR TO COME OPEN UPON DRIVING. I CLIMBED OVER THE CONSOLE TO OPEN THE BACK DOOR THIS MORNING AND IT WOULDN'T OPEN MANUALLY TRAPPING ME IN THE BACK SEAT AT BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURE BECAUSE I COULD NOT CLIMB BACK OVER THE FRONT SEATS. THIS ISSUE WAS FIRST FILED WITH NHTSA 12/30/2016. DEALER SAID THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED IN MARCH 2017 BUT IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN. I HAVE HAD TO TIE A ROPE FROM HANDLE TO HANDLE IN THE BACK SEAT TO KEEP THE DOORS CLOSED. CAN NOT SAFELY PUT CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT FOR FEAR OF THEM FALLING OUT. THIS TRUCK SHOULD BE RED FLAGGED UNTIL SAFE TO OPERATE. FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS FAILED TO FIX THIS TSB 15-0052 AND TSB 16-0155 PROPERLY AND SAFELY. THE VEHICLE IS USUALLY PARKED IN DRIVEWAY WHEN THE DOOR LOCKS ARE FROZEN BUT HAS ONE TIME BEEN IN MOTION WITH THE BACK DOORS NOT LATCHED FULLY CAUSING THEM TO COME OPEN DRIVING AROUND CORNERS BEFORE I TIED THE DOORS TOGETHER. *JS
