ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER. I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE ENGINE WAS SPUTTERING AND THE TRUCK WAS SLOWING DOWN. I HAD TO QUICKLY PULLED OVER. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, WAITED 5 MINUTES BEFORE STARTING IT AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME, THE CODE WAS P2112 THROTTLE BODY ACTUATOR. IT HAPPENED SO QUICKLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I THOUGHT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS LUCKY TODAY THAT I WAS DRIVING ON THE RIGHT LANE AND ABLE TO PULL OVER. IF I WAS ON THE LEFT LANE ON THE HIGHWAY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WITH SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER.

THIS REPEATED A THIRD TIME. THE INCIDENT CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR-MISSES AS WE LOST POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND BEGAN A RAPID DECELERATION WITHOUT NOTICE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AFTER DROPPING MY DAUGHTER OFF AND OUT OF NOWHERE I HEARD A VERY LOUD POP SOUND. I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND THE ENTIRE BACK WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. I WAS ON A MAIN ROAD. SMOOTH. GOING APPROX 40-50MPH. NO CARS WERE BEHIND ME. I PULLED OVER TO SEE IF IT WAS STRUCK BY A ROCK OR FALLING OBJECT... NO CLEAR IMPACT. IT WAS EVENLY SHATTERED ACROSS THE ENTIRE WINDOW. IT WAS ABOUT 65 DEGREES F. DEFROST WAS NOT ON AT THE TIME. SMELLED SIMILAR TO THAT BURNING SMELL AFTER AN AIRBAG DEPLOYS. I DROVE STRAIGHT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF THAT HAPPENING BEFORE "WOLTZ & WIND FORD, INC" IN PITTSBURGH. THANK GOD THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WITH MY NEWBORN AND 2 YEAR OLD IN THE BACK. I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND THE NUMBER FOR SIMILAR STORIES ONLINE. FORD SHOULD ADDRESS THIS. IMAGINE IF I WERE DRIVING WITH MY KIDS IN THE WINTER ACROSS THE STATE AND THIS HAPPENED. WE TYPICALLY DRIVE THROUGH THE NIGHT. IT'S NOT SAFE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. I WANT FORD TO COVER THE EXPENSE TO REPLACE.

STEERING
I OWN A 2015 FORD F150 AND WHILE GOING THROUGH THE MCDONALDS DRIVE THROUGH, AT APPROX 5 MPH I LOST POWER STEERING UNABLE TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT. ERRORS DISPLAYED ON DASH FOR ELECTRONIC POWER ASSIST FAULT, ADVANCE TRAC FAULT, HILL START ASSIST FAULT. ALSO NO CRUISE CONTROL. PULLED OVER IN AN EMPTY PARKING SPOT, SHUT DOWN THE TRUCK AND RESTARTED THE TRUCK, BUT THERE WAS NO CHANGE TO THE STRING. UNABLE TO DRIVE FURTHER, I HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED TO NEARBY DEALERSHIP GREENWAY FORD IN ORLANDO. PER THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THE STEERING CONTROL MODULE IS BAD AND WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING RACK. COST TO ME $1700. I PURCHASED CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER STEERING RACK. I AM GRATEFUL WE WERE NOT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AS THIS COULD HAVE TURNED OUT HORRIBLY.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I NOTICED A SMALL ROUND PLASTIC PART ON MY DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR MAT THAT APPEARED TO BE A FLAT DISK BROKEN IN SEVERAL PIECES. SEE PHOTO. I DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT IT AT THE TIME. A WHILE LATER MY NEIGHBOR SAID MY BRAKES LIGHTS WERE ON AND MY TRUCK HAD BEEN PARKED FOR A QUITE SOME TIME. AFTER NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO GO OUT AND SOME INTERNET QUERIES I WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE AND CONFIRM THE SMALL PLASTIC DISK CAME OFF THE TOP OF THE BRAKE PEDAL WHERE IT WOULD MAKE CONTACT WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. AS SMALL OF A PART AS IT IS, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE AFFECTED AND THE HILL ASSIST FUNCTION WARNING WAS COMING ON AS WELL. AFTER CHECKING FORD DOES NOT SELL THE TINY PLASTIC DISK, WORTH ABOUT 5 DOLLARS, BUT WILL SELL THE ENTIRE BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY FOR HUNDREDS. OTHER AUTO MANUFACTURERS SELL THE DISK CALLED A BRAKE PEDAL STOP PAD. THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING ON OTHER FORDS AS I WAS ABLE TO FIND EXAMPLES LIKE MINE ON THE INTERNET. THERE SHOULD BE A BETTER DESIGNED PART OR BRAKE PEDAL TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING.

SERVICE BRAKES
AS I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 94, IN MINNESOTA, I APPLIED MY BRAKES TO SLOW MY VEHICLE DOWN FOR A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. IN DOING SO, A WARNING ON MY DASHBOARD APPEARED SAYING, "BRAKE FLUID LOW". AT THAT TIME, MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR, DRASTICALLY EFFECTING MY STOPPING ABILITY. MY EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NEEDED TO STOP MY VEHICLE. AS I TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THE BRAKE FLUID WAS GOING, I WAS UNABLE TO FIND A LEAK. WITH MORE RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER, MAKING THE FRONT BRAKES ENTIRELY INOPERABLE. I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED, AND OR REPLACED WITHOUT ANY LUCK.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND ONLY 82,000 MILES ON MY 2015 F150, THE VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE BECAUSE OF AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE BETWEEN THE GAS PEDAL AND THROTTLE BODY. THIS HAS LEFT ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH MY 6 WEEK OLD BABY IN THE BACK SEAT. DOING RESEARCH, IT APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2015 F150S AND IS CAUSING MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS, BUT YET NO RECALL. WHEN DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND SLOWS TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE ROAD. WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE THE DASH AND VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE, LEAVING US ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

WHILE DRIVING ON CROWDED HIGHWAY IN BOSTON AREA, TRUCK LOST ENGINE POWER. DASH GAVE FOLLOWING WARNINGS: SEE MANUAL, SERVICE ADVANCETRAC, HILL DESCENT CONTROL FAULT, HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE. AFTER EMERGENTLY SWITCHING LANES WITH NO ENGINE POWER, I SHUT THE TRUCK DOWN, PAUSED, AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THIS HAPPENED ~20 TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET IT FIXED. THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY FORD EVEN THOUGH I CONSIDER THIS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 FORD F150 ON A CITY STREET AT 45 MILES PER HOUR THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION, RMP DROPPED TO BARELY 2 AND HILL ASSIST DISABLED LIGHT CAME ON. GLIDED TO A RED LIGHT, PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, CAME TO A STOP AND KEPT THE GAS LIGHTLY PRESSED HOPING TO KEEP POWER TO THE ENGINE. WHEN LIGHTED TURNED GREEN PUT TRUCK BACK INTO DRIVE AND ACCELERATION RETURNED. PARKED AT MY PLACE OF BUSINESS. SHUT THE TRUCK OFF BUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAYED ON. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF CONCERN TO DRIVE IT AFTER LOSING ACCELERATION (TOW TRUCK DRIVER CALL THE VEHICLE IN LIMP MODE). THE DEALERSHIP FOUND NOT FAULT CODES BUT DID FIND PLASTIC PIECES ON THE FLOOR BOARD. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A "BROKEN BRAKE PEDAL" - A SMALL PLASTIC DISC (GROMMET) INSIDE THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY BROKE INTO PIECES CAUSING LOSS F ACCELERATION, THE ELECTRONIC MESSAGING SYSTEM TO DISABLE HILL ASSIST AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO REMAIN ON. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THIS IN FORD FUSIONS BUT NOT IN AN F150. THE NEW BRAKE ASSEMBLY IS A TOTAL REDESIGN FROM THE THE ONE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT WITH. THE IMAGE ON THE LEFT IS THE BROKEN BRAKE ASSEMBLE (THE FINGER IS POINTING TO THE DAMAGED ITEM), THE PART ON THE RIGHT WHERE YOU WILL SEE THE SMALL WHITE DISC (GROMMET) IS THE REPLACEMENT BRAKE ASSEMBLY. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2015 AND HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER. MY VEHICLE HAS 54K MILES, IS DRIVEN LOCALLY, NOT USED TO TOW OR OFF ROAD AND IS GARAGED WHEN NOT IN USE. A VEHICLE LOOSING ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING IS A MAJOR SAFELY CONCERN AND I HOPE THIS WILL BE INVESTIGATED AS IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN OTHER FORD VEHICLES.
