I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER 8-2015. AS OF AUGUST 1, 2019 THE TRUCK STATED VIBRATING BETWEEN 50 MPH AND 75 MPH WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAYS. I AM GETTING A VIBRATION FROM WHAT APPEARS TO BE MY DRIVE AXLE. IT IS MOST PROMINENT WHEN LETTING OFF THE THROTTLE AND COASTING FROM 75 MPH TO 50 MPH. YOU CAN FEEL IT IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND YOU CAN ALSO HEAR IT.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE FACTORY/ DEALER INSTALLED TOW BRAKE CONTROLLER DOES NOT APPLY ENOUGH BRAKE POWER TO STOP TRAILER. WHEN TOWING MY 5TH WHEEL(10000LBS)IT WORKS FINE WHEN I MANUALLY APPLY THE OVERRIDE BUTTON BUT WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE PEDAL THE TRAILER BRAKES DON'T GET THE COMMAND TO ENGAGE WITH ENOUGH POWER TO STOP TRAILER, MY TRUCK IS DOING ALMOST ALL OF THE BRAKING. I HAVE READ ONLINE WHERE MANY FORD F 150 OWNERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. FORD SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE BEEN TOWING USING THE MANUAL OVERRIDE SWITCH OR LEARNING TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO STOP. THE TRAILER BRAKES DO WORK ALMOST WHEN I SLAM ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I AM SURE THAT THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING BECAUSE IT'S NOT SAFE.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IN EARLY SEPTEMBER OF 2019, I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 FORD F-150 ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MPH. SUDDENLY, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST ALL POWER AS THE DASHBOARD LITE UP WITH SOME KIND OF TRACTION WARNING. I DRIFTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT IT IN PARKED. THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHOOK SIGNIFICANTLY AT THIS POINT. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 2MINUTES. I STARTED THE TRUCK UP AND WENT ON MY WAY WITH NO PROBLEM. (NOTE: THIS INCIDENT WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS I WAS ON A MAJOR ROADWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. MY 10 AND 8 YEAR OLD GRANDCHILDREN WERE IN THE BACK SEAT). A FEW WEEKS AND A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES LATER, I WAS ON A NARROW MOUNTAIN ROAD GOING ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALER AFTER BOTH OCCURRENCES, BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I'M RELUCTANT TO DRIVE IT AS THIS SITUATION COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT ONLY HAS 42,000 MILES ON IT AND I USE IT TO TOW MY TRAVEL TRAILER. I WAS NOT TOWING THE TRAILER WHEN THESE INCIDENTS OCCURRED. I SAW ON YOUR WEB SITE THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE FORD F-150. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO ABOUT THIS? NOTE THAT I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW IN 2015 FROM THE SAME DEALER THAT I TOOK IT TO FOR SERVICE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

SERVICE BRAKES
ON 09/22/2019 WHILE DRIVING, ON A LOCAL CITY STREET, WHERE THE SPEED LIMITS VARY FROM 30-45 MPH, MY BRAKES BECAME COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE WHILE DRIVING IN A 45 MPH ZONE. MY VEHICLE IS A 2015 FORD F-150 WITH 63,000 MILES. I INSPECTED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR, AND IT WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY WITH NO SIGN OF LEAKAGE ANYWHERE. I DID A QUICK SEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND LEARNED THAT FORD HAD ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUES ON THE 2013-2014 MODELS, BUT NOT 2015 AND UP, WHICH ARE NOW EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I AM FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO GET A RESOLUTION. THE DEALERSHIP HAS CONFIRMED AT THIS POINT THAT IT IS THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER THAT HAS LEAKED FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER, WHICH CAUSED THE LOSS OF BRAKES, AND IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL FOR THE PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS. THE DEALERSHIP IS SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE ME WITH AN ESTIMATE OF THE REPAIRS, BUT HAVE YET TO DO SO AFTER A WEEK OF BEING AT THE DEALERSHIP.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER BUT ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AT A VERY ROUGH IDLE. ZERO THROTTLE RESPONSE. THIS HAPPENED WHILE PULLING A 30 FT CAMPER IN DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WAS ABLE TO SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT TO CLEAR THE CODE BUT IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I'VE FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM CAUSED BY THE THROTTLE BODY AND SENSOR. THERES RECALLS OUT FOR MULTIPLE F150 TRUCK MODELS BUT APPARENTLY MINE WAS MADE AT A TIME THAT WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. FORD HAS A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN THEY ARE ADMITTING TO AND THEY ARE PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER BY DOING SO. I REACHED OUT TO FORD BECAUSE I WANTED THEM TO DOCUMENT THAT THERES A PROBLEM IF THEY WEREN'T GOING TO FIX IT. THEY RECOMMENDED I REPORT IT TO THE NHTSA. I NEARLY GOT HIT MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE OF A FAULTY SENSOR THAT COSTS LESS THAN $300 TO REPLACE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE TO GET TO 55 MPH THE ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST THROTTLE RESPONSE AND BEGAN TO RUN ROUGH. SIMULTANEOUSLY THE DASH FLASHED THAT UPHILL ASSIST WAS DEACTIVATED AND FLASHED THE MAINTENANCE WRENCH. UPON PULLING THE VEHICLE OVER AND SHUTTING IT OFF AND RESTARTING IT THE VEHICLE RAN NORMALLY. THE FREQUENCY OF THIS INCREASED FROM ONCE EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS TO NOW UP TO 5 TIMES IN 10 MILES. WHEN IT CAUSES AN OBD CODE IT IS P2112. IT OCCURS MOST FREQUENTLY WHILE ACCELERATING TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT HAS ALSO OCCURRED WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND ACCELERATING TO VILLAGE SPEEDS OF 30 MPH. IT HAS EVEN OCCURRED ONCE WHILE USING CRUISE CONTROL AS THE VEHICLE WAS CLIMBING A HILL. AT THIS TIME IT IS UNKNOWN WHAT IS CAUSING THE FAULT. AN ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. A NEW THROTTLE BODY IS ON ORDER BUT HAS TO BE INSTALLED YET TO SEE IF IT CORRECTS THE ISSUE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I PICKED UP MY 2015 FORD F150 ON THURSDAY OF LAST WEEK BECAUSE THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING AND CAUSED MY WIFE TO LOSE HER BRAKES WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I DROVE MY TRUCK TO OUR FAMILY REUNION ABOUT AN HOUR AND HALF AWAY ON SATURDAY WHICH WAS 2 DAYS AFTER I HAD PICKED MY TRUCK UP AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT SHUT OFF BY TAPING THE BRAKE. MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AND I WAS IN THE SLOW LANE WITH THE CRUISE SET AT 72MPH. I WAS APPROACHING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, SO I LOOKED IN MY LEFT MIRROR AND NOTICED A CAR COMING UP BESIDE ME. I WAS UNABLE TO PASS, SO I TOUCHED THE BRAKES TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL AND I LOOKED BACK IN MY MIRROR AGAIN TO SEE IF THE CAR BESIDE ME WAS GOING TO PASS ME SOON. MY WIFE THEN SAID WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I TOLD HER I AM GOING TO PASS THIS CAR IN FRONT OF US AFTER THE CAR BESIDE ME PASSED US. SHE THEN SAID WELL YOU BETTER SLOW DOWN BECAUSE YOU ARE ABOUT TO HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. HERE MY CRUISE CONTROL NEVER DISENGAGED SO I TOUCHED THE BRAKES 2 MORE TIMES AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I FINALLY HAD TO SLAM ON THE BREAKS AND IT FINALLY DISENGAGED. I HAD ALMOST REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. I THEN GOT INTO THE FAST LANE AND PLACED THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AGAIN AND FOUND OUT THAT I WAS UNABLE TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL BY TAPPING THE BRAKES LIKE YOU SHOULD. I HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL 2/3 OF THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHICH AT THIS POINT YOU ARE STOPPING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS THE THIRD SAFETY ISSUE IN LESS THAN 1 YEAR THAT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND THAT IT HAS BEEN TOWED TO FORD. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT FORD. DEC 2018 THROTTLE BODY WENT BAD AND SHUT OFF WITH MY WIFE DRIVING MY TRUCK, SEPT 2019 MASTER CYLINDER WENT BAD AND CAUSED MY WIFE TO LOSE THE BRAKES WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, AND SEPT 2019 CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING PROPERLY ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.
