NHTSA Complaint #10786205 — 2015 FORD F-150

MY 2015 FORD F150 PLATINUM HAS HAD THE FORD RECALL 15S29 APPLIED SEPT 30, 2015. THE ABOVE MENTIONED 2015 FORD F150 PLATINUM HAS SINCE HAD THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM, HARD BRAKING WHILE PASSING A SEMI TRAILER WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS. THIS SERIOUS EVENT HAPPENED OCT 2, 2015. THE RECALL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE HARD BRAKING IS A VERY SUDDEN AND SERIOUS EVENT. IT TAKES THE TRUCK FROM 70 TO 55 OR LESS MPH WITHIN THE TIME IT TAKES ME TO REACT AND HIT THE GAS PEDAL TO STOP THE BRAKING (1 SECOND?). THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW ON MAY 29, 2015. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN CLOSE BEHIND ME WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED. THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED FOR MULTIPLE TYPES OF SEMI TRAILERS, BOX, TANKER, SHINY ALUMINUM, PAINTED WHITE, ETC. ONCE, IT APPEARED TO HAPPEN AS I WENT UNDER AN INTERSTATE OVER PASS (NO VEHICLES WERE ANYWHERE NEAR IN FRONT OF ME AT THE TIME). I HAVE PURCHASED A CAR DVR CAMERA, SPECIFICALLY TO TRACK THIS PROBLEM, AND A PROBLEM WHERE THE CAR VERY FREQUENTLY SAYS TO PUT MY HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL (WHILE THEY ALREADY ARE). THE CAMERA POWER CABLE HAD COME OUT (NO RECORDINGS) ON OCT 1, 2015, SO I DO NOT HAVE A RECORDING OF THE POST-RECALL HARD BRAKING EVENT. THE INTERSTATE HARD BRAKING EVENTS HAPPEN TO ME ABOUT ONCE EVERY 500 MILES (ONE TIME MANY TIMES IN SINGLE DAY). THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES TO BE A SEVERE AND SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY 2015 FORD F150 PLATINUM. THE CONSUMER REFERENCED RECALL # 15V614000. *JB
