ENGINE
WHILE ACCELERATING UP A HILL TRAVELING ABOUT 45MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND WENT INTO "LIMP HOME" MODE. FORTUNATELY I HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO MAKE IT TO A SIDE ROAD AS THE COUNTRY ROAD HAD NO SHOULDERS. AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING, EVERYTHING RAN NORMALLY AGAIN. POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. ONLINE SEARCH POINTS TO POSSIBLE ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY.

THIS TIME I ALSO GOT A POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE AND IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. TRUCK ONLY HAD 66,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE GOT RID OF TRUCK BECAUSE OF IT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
FIRST RECEIVED ADVANCE TRAC WARNING, THEN HILL DESCENT WARNING AND THEN POWER STEERING FAILURE INDICATION. POWER STEERING FAILURE WAS SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN IN MOTION DOING A TURN, DUE TO ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM LOCK UP WHICH PREVENTED THE FRONT WHEELS FROM TURNING AS MUCH AS EXPECTED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS UNEXPECTED CONDITION AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES OR WORSE IF OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS!

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
HAD TO REPAIR THE "LEAD MOLDED FRAME & GASKET" ! TRUCK WOULD JUMP THREW GEARS WHILE MOVING AT ANY SPEED. FINAL DRAW WAS WHEN TRUCK DROPPED TO 1ST GEAR WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH ON I-64 EAST NEARLY CAUSING TRUCK TO FLIP OVER AFTER SCREECHING TIRES AND RUNNING OTHER CARS OFF THE ROAD! FORD DEALERSHIP MAINTENANCE DEPT. TOLD ME THERE WERE RECALLS FOR SAME PROBLEM ON F-150'S BUT NOT FOR THE YEAR 2014 AS MINE IS!.. PLEASE NOTE IF IT WERE WET/RAINING AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED TO US, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SEVERE ACCIDENT WITH POSSIBLE CASUALTIES...!!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TRUCK HAS 46665 MILES. WHEN DRIVING FIRST 10 MINUTES (CITY DRIVING) VEHICLE SHUDDERS, SHOWS WRENCH INDICATOR AND GOES INTO LIMP HOME MODE (NO ACCELERATOR). HAVE TO PULL OVER, TURN OFF IGNITION AND RESTART ENGINE. PROBLEM CODE SHOWS P2112 (THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM...STUCK CLOSED). THIS MAY HAPPEN 3 TIMES IN FIRST 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING, BUT THEN GOES AWAY WHEN CAR WARMS UP. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED ABNORMAL EXHAUST SMOKE AND BAD GAS MILEAGE. HAVING TRUCK GO INTO LIMP HOME MODE IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC IS VERY DANGEROUS.

SERVICE BRAKES
WAS AT WENDY'S DRIVE THROUGH AFTER GROCERY SHOPPING AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON THOUGHT BRAKE FLUID WAS JUST LOW. BY THE TIME I WAS ALMOST HOME MAYBE 2-3 MILES AWAY I HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. WHEN TRAVELING AROUND 50 MILES AN HOUR AND YOU REALIZE YOU HAVE NO BRAKES IT'S A VERY SCARY SITUATION. I WAS ABLE TO GET TRUCK STOPPED BUT WASN'T SURE IF IT ACTUALLY WOULD. PER LOOKING ONLINE OTHER PEOPLE WITH SAME MODEL FORD TRUCKS HAVE EXPERIENCED SAME EXACT ISSUE WHERE BRAKE FLUID LEAKS FROM MASTER CYLINDER INTO BRAKE BOOSTER CAUSING BRAKE FAILURE. VERY VERY DANGEROUS FORD SHOULD ISSUE RECALL!

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH AND COMING TO A RED LIGHT. I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDDLE AND IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THERE WAS A WARNING CHIME AND THE DASH ILLUMINATED A BRAKE SERVICE WARNING AND A LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING. THERE WERE VIRTUALLY NO BRAKES AND I HAD TO DOWN SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION AND USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP, JUST IN TIME BEFORE GOING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION UNDER A RED LIGHT. WE HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT ALL OF THE FLUID IN THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD LEAKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY SAID THAT OUR TRUCK DID NOT MEET THE PROPER DATE TO BE TAKEN CARE OF UNDER THE KNOWN RECALL (NHTSA RECALL #16V-345, FORD RECALL #16S24) FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THAT RECALL ENDED ON TRUCKS BUILT UP TO 8/14 AND OUR TRUCK WAS BUILT ON 12/14. WE HAD TO HAVE THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED UNDER OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH ONLY 22,901 MILES ON OUR TRUCK. THIS WAS A CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE (VIRTUALLY NO BRAKES) WITH ZERO WARNING. IF THERE HAD BEEN TRAFFIC OR IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN GOING ANY FASTER, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BRAKE FAILURE. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE THE EXACT SAME SUB-STANDARD AND DANGEROUS PARTS THAT HAD CATASTROPHICALLY FAILED. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION THAT THIS VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE HAD BEEN ADDRESSED AND THAT REDESIGNED PARTS HAD BEEN INSTALLED IN MY TRUCK. WE FEEL THAT OUR TRUCK NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT WE NEED INFORMATION ON WHAT WAS DONE WITH THIS PROBLEM TO INSURE THAT IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.
