SERVICE BRAKES
SUDDEN BRAKE FAILURE AFTER A BRAKE FLUID LOW LEVEL CAUTION. THIS HAPPENED AFTER APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. LUCKILY I DIDN'T CRASH INTO ANYTHING AND WAS ABLE TO STOP WITH REMAINING BRAKE PRESSURE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS CAUSED BY A FAILED MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND CAUSED THE BRAKE PUMP TO FAIL. TOTAL REPAIR CIST $975. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE ON THIS VEHICLE. LUCKILY I DIDN'T CRASH.

ENGINE
MY 2015 F150 ECOBOOST HAS 100,000 MILES ON IT. OVER THE PAST 10 DAYS THE TRUCK HAS REPEATEDLY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. IT HAPPENED WHILE GOING UP A HILL ON A CROSS-COUNTRY TRIP, AS WELL. THE RPM DROPS DOWN TO 500 RPM, ROUGH IDLE, NO ACCELERATION AT ALL, HILL ASSIST LIGHT WRENCH LIGHT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT AND SEE OWNERS MANUAL POP UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL (LIMP MODE). PULLED OFF TO SIDE OF ROAD AND HAD TO STOP AND RE-START THE TRUCK SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE WE COULD CONTINUE OUR TRIP. I CHECKED CODES AND LOGGED A P2112. AFTER SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, I CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY. LOOKED ONLINE AND YOUTUBE TO DISCOVER THIS PROBLEM IS NOT JUST ME AND FREQUENTLY HAPPENS TO OTHERS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. THE TRUCK SHOULD NOT ENTER LIMP MODE FOR A MINOR ISSUE LIKE THIS. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET OVER ON THE SHOULDER EACH TIME. I RECENTLY HAD MY TRUCK IN FOR A RECALL AND PCM SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THE UPDATE, AND NOW THE LOSS OF POWER. (SEE HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/HXQVXXEJZQO)

MY 2015 F150 ECOBOOST HAS 79,156 MILES ON IT. OVER THE PAST 3 DAYS THE TRUCK HAS REPEATEDLY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. THE RPM WILL DROP DOWN TO 500 RPM, ROUGH IDLE, NO ACCELERATION AT ALL, HILL ASSIST LIGHT WRENCH LIGHT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT AND SEE OWNERS MANUAL POP UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. TOOK MY TRUCK INTO FORD TODAY AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY UNDER MY EXTENDE WARRANTY NOT THEIR EMISSIONS WARRANTY AS STATED IN THEIR OWNERS MANUAL OF 8 YEARS OR 80,000 MILES. CALLED FORD AND THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT AN EMISSIONS WARRANTY IN THEIR OWNERS MANUAL. LOOKED ONLINE AND YOUTUBE TO DISCOVER THIS PROBLEM IS NOT JUST ME AND FREQUENT WITH OTHERS. THIS CAN REALLY CAUSE A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. LUCKILY I'M A CDL DRIVER AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET OVER ON THE SHOULDER THIS TIME. I'M NOT CONFIDENT REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY WAS A FIX AS IT IS A BANDAGE TO HAPPEN AGAIN AT ANY POINT IN TIME. THIS TRUCK NOW IS COMPROMISED AND I WOULDN'T WANT ANY OF MY FAMILY USING IT OR DEPENDING ON IT.
