NHTSA Complaint #11258969 — 2015 FORD F-150

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.
