Consumer Description

HILL ASSIST AND AUTOTRAC MALFUNCTION. 2016 FORD F-150, LESS THAN 8,000 MILES. WARNING INDICATOR SUDDENLY COMES ON AND VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER GOING FROM HIGHWAY SPEED TO 2MPH IN SECONDS WITHOUT WARNING. HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN TWO WEEKS ON STRAIGHT, LEVEL ROAD, DRY AND CLEAR CONDITIONS. ONE TIME WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH, OTHERS WERE CITY ROADS AROUND 25-35MPH. ONE TIME WAS AFTER A NORMAL RIGHT TURN, OTHERS JUST RANDOMLY WHILE TRAVELING STRAIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY BUT RESEARCHING ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH F-150S. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL CONSIDERING THE DANGER POSED FROM A VEHICLE THAT SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND DECELERATES WITHOUT WARNING. I ALSO READ ANOTHER ACCOUNT WHERE REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE SO IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN IF THIS FIX WORKS ON MY VEHICLE.
