NHTSA Complaint #11367108 — 2015 FORD F-150

I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 F-150 ON A CITY STREET AT 35 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY MY TRUCK LOST ALL ACCELERATION POWER AND BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO SHAKE AND SPUTTER AS I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH TWO CODES TO 'SERVICE ADVANCETRAC' AND 'HILL DECENT CONTROL FAULT'. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, THEN RESTARTED. IT SEEMED TO TAKE LONGER TO CRANK, BUT IT STARTED AND I PROCEEDED DOWN THE ROAD. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WOULD REACH 35 MPH THE SAME SEQUENCE WOULD OCCUR WITH THE VEHICLE SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND LOSING ALL ACCELERATION POWER ALONG WITH THE SERVICE CODES FLASHING. I RESEARCHED MY PROBLEM AND READ STORY AFTER STORY ON THE INTERNET OF OTHERS WHO OWNED 2015 F-150'S WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE HAPPENING. I EVEN FOUND A RECALL FORD ISSUED: 16B32 FOR A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY, BUT WAS TOLD AT MY LOCAL FORD SERVICE CENTER THAT ALTHOUGH THE IDENTICAL THING HAPPENED WITH OTHERS, MY TRUCK WAS NOT LISTED UNDER THAT RECALL. I HAD TO PAY $500 OUT OF POCKET FOR THEM TO REPLACE MY DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY PLUS LABOR COSTS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE 2015 TRUCKS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING DONE TO INCLUDE MORE TRUCKS LIKE MINE WITH SIMILAR ISSUES INTO THAT RECALL. I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ALMOST $500 TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. I'M JUST GLAD I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY OR PULLING MY CAMPER TRAILER. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR BADLY INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM! PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE THIS HAPPENS!
