NHTSA Complaint #11288878 — 2015 FORD F-150

I WAS PARKED IN A SAGE BRUSH FIELD, WARMING UP IN MY TRUCK. I TURNED IT OFF AND OPENED THE DOOR TO GET OUT. THIS IS WHEN I NOTICED MY ELECTRONIC RUNNING BOARDS DIDN'T EXTEND. SO I SITUATED MYSELF BACK IN THE DRIVERS SEAT AND REALIZED THE RADIO WAS STILL PLAYING. (IT IS SUPPOSE TO TURN OFF WHEN I OPEN THE DOOR AND THE TRUCK IS OFF) I STARTED THE TRUCK AND FOUND I HAD NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS, GAUGES WERE OFF, LOCKS WOULD NOT WORK IN THE FRONT. I HAD ONLY RADIO ( VOLUME CONTROL DIDN'T WORK) AND FLASHERS. I DROVE THE FEW MILES TO MY DEALER. AFTER CALLING SOMEONE. THEY TOLD ME THEY DID A HARD REBOOT OF THE SYSTEM. EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON AND I NOTICED IT WAS A FEW DAYS BEFORE EVERYTHING READJUSTED TO READ CORRECTLY. I WAS TOLD TO COME BACK IF I HAD MORE PROBLEMS. THEY HAD A LIST OF FAULTS THAT SHOWED ON THE COMPUTER WHEN THEY PLUGGED IT IN. THE CODES: BCM, FCIM, MS1-CAN,HS2-CAN,HS3-CAN,U0137 SAID TBM COULDN'T COMMUNICATE WITH BCM. FINAL STATEMENT ON CAUSE: EXCESSIVE NETWORK TRAFFIC ON THE CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) BUS CAUSING THE FCIM TO LOCK UP. I HAVE THE WORK ORDER IF NEEDED.
