2015 FORD F-150 Electrical System Problems

Two weeks ago my 2015 Ford F150 died in a parking lot. I drove it in fine, walked into the store, and when I left the store the truck was dead. Battery was good, alternator was good, but would not start. I had it towed to my local Ford dealer. Three days later they informed me that the starter was bad and it was replaced. Two days later I'm driving at highway speed (approx 70 mph) and the truck violently downshifts from sixth to third gear causing the tires to lock up and the vehicle to skid approx 20 ft in NYC traffic. Luckily there was no one close behind me although there were numerous car horns beeped and swerving traffic as I rapidly decelerated. The truck remained in third gear until I moved into the safety lane and the RPMs (due to slowing) returned to normal. The instrument panel...

The engine fails to start consistently using pushbutton and remote start on the ignition fob. It is not available as needed. As an elderly man and partally disabled wife, the inconsistant nature inhibits reliable usage of the vehicle if an emergency occurs. The problem has been reproduced by Kirk Brothers FORD in Vicksburg, Mississippi but at this time (vehicle dropped of on 6/21/22) no success has occurred to determine the cause! Only the local service department has worked on the vehicle and only one technician has been assigned for over 10 working days. Problem first appeared as intermittent in May 2022, and progressively got to the point vehicle would not start normally.

I auto started the truck and about 10 minutes into warm up the rear window shattered as I was putting items in the bed of the truck. Glass preceded to fall off the window, and there is still a residual burn electrical smell. I believe this is a result of the rear defroster. I have filed an insurance claim to replace the rear window. There were zero warnings, lamps etc. It sounded like a gunshot.

2015 F150 Truck - Used auto start. Came out later. Truck was full of smoke. The rear sliding defrost window was blown up. Glass was everywhere.

Unknown: On 1/2/2021 at approximately 11:30pm, we were awakened by neighbors to warn us that our home was on fire. Neighbors witnesses an explosion from our truck, that blew up most of the Ford F-150 and cause major damage to my van next to it. The fire department has investigated the explosion and listed cause of fire to Be electrical issues from the Ford F-150. Thankfully no lives were lost, but would like to see that This be investigated to avoid loss of life as a preventative measure.

I don’t know if this question qualifies in this section but I’m just trying to find out why my 12v outlets in my truck are not working and also the plug-in for my trailer hitch, neither of them are working. To the best of my knowledge I’ve checked fuses and couldn’t see anything blown. Thank you

MY TRUCK WON'T START SOMETIMES AND TURNS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. IT HAPPENS EVERY FEW WEEKS. IT SHOWS A MESSAGE SAYING THE OIL I LOW BUT WHEN I CHECK THE OIL, IT IS FINE.

DRIVERS DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING USING THE REMOTE AND THE POWER DOOR LOCK ON THE DOOR. STARTED AFTER A COLD SPELL IN NC. DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COMPLETED THE LATCH RECALL WORK. THEY THEN CHARGED ME FOR A NEW LATCH AS THEY SAID THE ELECTRONICS IN THE LATCH FAILED WHICH CAUSES THE DOOR LOCK TO NO LONGER WORK.

WHILE IN MOTION AND ON THE FREEWAY THERE IS POWER LOSS, SHAKING, ENGINE SPUTTERING AND BARELY HAS ENOUGH POWER TO GET OFF THE ROAD, HILL START ASSIST DISABLED, DECENT CONTROL DISABLED, SERVICE WRENCH INDICATOR, SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC. I POWERED OFF THE TRUCK, WAITING 10 SECONDS AND IT STARTS AND RUNS FINE UNTIL IT DOES IT AGAIN.

KEY HARD TO TURN ON....HARD TO REMOVE AND ALARM STAYS ON WITH KEY OUT ....KEY COMES OUT WITH CAR STILL RUNNING....ALL IN STATIONARY MOVEMENT

WHILE PARKED, WITH ENGINE OFF, HAD NOT BEEN RUNNING, KEYS OUT OF IGNITION, THE ENGINE COOLING FANS COME ON AT HIGH AND WILL NOT GO OFF UNTIL BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTED. UPON RECONNECTING CABLE NEXT DAY, FANS COME ON HIGH AGAIN. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. HAS KILLED THE BATTERY AND FEARFUL OF ELECTRICAL FIRE.

TRUCK WAS WARMING UP AND SOMETHING SMELLED LIKE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE AND SUDDENLY THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. CONTACTS FOR THE REAR DEFROSTER PULLED FROM WINDOW CAUSING ELECTRICAL ARCING THAT STARTED MELTING A PIECE OF PLASTIC CAUSING A HOT SPOT ON THE WINDOW THAT LED TO IT SHATTERING. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHILE THIS HAPPENED.

MY REAR CAMERA WORK SOMETIMES. WHEN BACKING UP IT SHOWS A VERY DISTORTED IMAGE, UNABLE TO VISUALIZE WHAT IS THERE WHILE BACKING UP. THE REAR SENSORS ARE WORKING. A FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR APPROXIMATELY $6,000.00

BACK UP CAMERA ON MY 2015 FORD F-150 XLT GOES BLANK WHEN I GO INTO REVERSE AND SCREEN GOES FUZZY.

I NOTICED A SMALL ROUND PLASTIC PART ON MY DRIVERS SIDE FLOOR MAT THAT APPEARED TO BE A FLAT DISK BROKEN IN SEVERAL PIECES. SEE PHOTO. I DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT IT AT THE TIME. A WHILE LATER MY NEIGHBOR SAID MY BRAKES LIGHTS WERE ON AND MY TRUCK HAD BEEN PARKED FOR A QUITE SOME TIME. AFTER NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO GO OUT AND SOME INTERNET QUERIES I WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE AND CONFIRM THE SMALL PLASTIC DISK CAME OFF THE TOP OF THE BRAKE PEDAL WHERE IT WOULD MAKE CONTACT WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. AS SMALL OF A PART AS IT IS, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE AFFECTED AND THE HILL ASSIST FUNCTION WARNING WAS COMING ON AS WELL. AFTER CHECKING FORD DOES NOT SELL THE TINY PLASTIC DISK, WORTH ABOUT 5 DOLLARS, BUT WILL SELL THE ENTIRE BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY FOR...

WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 FORD F150 ON A CITY STREET AT 45 MILES PER HOUR THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION, RMP DROPPED TO BARELY 2 AND HILL ASSIST DISABLED LIGHT CAME ON. GLIDED TO A RED LIGHT, PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, CAME TO A STOP AND KEPT THE GAS LIGHTLY PRESSED HOPING TO KEEP POWER TO THE ENGINE. WHEN LIGHTED TURNED GREEN PUT TRUCK BACK INTO DRIVE AND ACCELERATION RETURNED. PARKED AT MY PLACE OF BUSINESS. SHUT THE TRUCK OFF BUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAYED ON. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF CONCERN TO DRIVE IT AFTER LOSING ACCELERATION (TOW TRUCK DRIVER CALL THE VEHICLE IN LIMP MODE). THE DEALERSHIP FOUND NOT FAULT CODES BUT DID FIND PLASTIC PIECES ON THE FLOOR BOARD.

TOXIC FUMES IN CAB WHILE DRIVING AFTER TURNING ON REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER. PULLED OVER, ABANDONED VEHICLE AND THE A LOW BANK AND THE REAR WINDOWS SHATTERED

I OWN A 2015 FORD F150. I WAS DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY DECELERATED. THE WRENCH AND LIMP MODE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WHILE THE FAILURE CODE P2112 OCCURRED. I HAD TO COAST MY VEHICLE ON TO THE ROAD SHOULDER AND RESTART THE ENGINE. I HAD TO STOP AND RESTART NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE I COULD MAKE IT HOME, OFF OF A BUSY HIGHWAY. WHEN IT STALLED ON ME THE NEXT DAY, I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER AND PAID FOR A DIAGNOSTIC THAT LOCATED A FAILURE CODE AT THE THROTTLE BODY.

DOOR LOCKS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BOTH FRONT AND BACK HAS STOPPED LOCKING ELECTRONICALLY. YOU CAN STILL MANUALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOORS. NEITHER THE REMOTE OR THE FACTORY MOUNTED TOGGLE SWITCH WILL LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DRIVERS SIDE DOORS. ALL THE OTHER DOORS INCLUDING THE TAILGATE WORK NORMALLY.

ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. *TR

I STOPPED WHILE PULLING A TRAILER, FUELED MY VEHICLE, HOPPED BACK IN AND THE TRAILER BRAKES WERE ON CONSTANTLY. I DISCONNECTED 7 WAY PLUG AND TRAILER BRAKES RELEASED. I TESTED TRAILER BRAKING OUTPUT AT THE 7 PIN PLUG AND THE BRAKE OUTPUT WAS STUCK ON. I TURNED THE GAIN DOWN TO ZERO AND IT WAS STILL STAYING ON. I CHECKED THE TRAILER FOR A SHORT AND ALL CHECK SHOWED TRAILER WIRING AS OK. I FOUND ON AN F150 FORUM MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO 2015 AND 2016 F150'S AND DEALERS REPLACING THE TRAILER BRAKES MODULE AND THE TOW MODULE.

HEATED SEAT CONNECTOR UNDER PASSENGER SEAT HAD A BURNT GROUND CONNECTOR AND A BURNING PLASTIC SMELL. FIRE HAZARD. REPLACED CONNECTOR OUT OF POCKET IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FORD TSB ON THIS ISSUE.

TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROSTER AND 5 MINUTES LATER AS I WAS PARKING AT THE GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT THE BACK WINDOW EXPLODED. LOUD POP NOISE AND AWFUL BURNING SMELL. BACK GLASS WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED.

CRUISE CONTROL SHUTS OFF DURING OPERATION. INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT TURN ON. ANALOG SPEEDOMETER WILL INDICATE SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 40MPH SLOWER THAN REAL SPEED. STUCK AT 40MPH WHEN COMES TO COMPLETE STOP.

ENGINE STALLS AT IDLE IN PARK AND AT STOP LIGHTS. SOMETIMES IT'S BAD AND SOMETIMES NOT AS MUCH OR CAN GO DAYS WITHOUT DOING IT.

ELECTRIC REAR TAILGATE FALLS DOWN RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED OR EVEN WHILE PARKED. TAILGATE HAS FALLEN 5-6 TIMES WHILE TRUCK IS PARKED IN LAST FEW MONTHS AND ALSO 5+ TIMES WHILE CAR IS DRIVING. IT HAS FALLEN WHILE TRUCK WAS IN REVERSE, AND WHILE TRUCK WAS TRAVELING ON COUNTRY ROADS AT SPEEDS OF ~40MPH. PLEASE NOTE - THIS ISSUE SEEMS IDENTICAL TO THE ONE FORD JUST ANNOUNCED A RECALL FOR ON THE 2017-2019 F-250 SUPERDUTY TRUCKS. IT MUST BE RELATED. OUR TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP JUST LAST WEEK BEFORE THIS RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. THIS TRUCK SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THE TAILGATE MOST RECENTLY FELL 11/28/19

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD TODAY BEING MINDFUL OF THE SPEED LIMIT SINCE I JUST GOT A SPEEDING TICKET TWO WEEKS PRIOR. I LOOKED AT THE SPEEDOMETER AND IT READ 62. I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE I SPEED VARIATION JUST FROM DRIVER FEELING AND EXPERIENCE. WELL I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE SPEEDOMETER DID NOT MOVE. WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER WAS FROZEN AT 40 MPH. SO NOW ACCORDING TO THE TRUCKS BRAIN 40 MPH = 0 MPH

THE FACTORY/ DEALER INSTALLED TOW BRAKE CONTROLLER DOES NOT APPLY ENOUGH BRAKE POWER TO STOP TRAILER. WHEN TOWING MY 5TH WHEEL(10000LBS)IT WORKS FINE WHEN I MANUALLY APPLY THE OVERRIDE BUTTON BUT WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE PEDAL THE TRAILER BRAKES DON'T GET THE COMMAND TO ENGAGE WITH ENOUGH POWER TO STOP TRAILER, MY TRUCK IS DOING ALMOST ALL OF THE BRAKING. I HAVE READ ONLINE WHERE MANY FORD F 150 OWNERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. FORD SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE BEEN TOWING USING THE MANUAL OVERRIDE SWITCH OR LEARNING TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO STOP. THE TRAILER BRAKES DO WORK ALMOST WHEN I SLAM ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I AM SURE THAT THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING BECAUSE IT'S NOT SAFE.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER RECALL #19S11 FORD NHTSA # 19V-278 IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR NOW WAITING FOR REPLACEMENT PART...KEEP CALLING FORD AND THEY SAY PARTS ARE IN, BUT I CALLED DEALER AND THEY SAY NOT TILL OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR, THEY KEEP PUTTING IT OFF.

RANDOMLY THE HILL START ASSIST CONTROL ERROR WOULD COME UP. ADDITIONALLY, SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC ERROR WOULD COME UP AND THE TRUCK WOULD GO INTO SOME SORT OF LIMP MODE WITH NO ACCELERATION ALLOWED. FINALLY, THE TRUCK STARTED RUNNING REALLY ROUGH. ALL THESE THINGS WOULD HAPPEN WHILE I WAS IN MOTION AND OR TURNING. I HAVE BEEN BROKEN DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY 4 SEPARATE TIMES NOW. EVERYTHING IS REALLY RANDOM AND CAN'T BE REPLICATED. IT'S DONE THIS ABOUT 10 TIMES NOW AND THE DEALER HAS NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN THERE FOR OVER A WEEK WITH NO REMEDY.

WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE, ELECTRICAL ISSUE OCCURS THAT LOCKS WINDOWS AND TURNS OFF AIR CONDITIONING. VEHICLE CABIN BECOMES EXTREMELY HOT VERY QUICKLY. FORD DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE ISSUE YET CONTINUALLY REOCCURS. NOT SAFE TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE ISSUE CAN BE CORRECTED. A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET REVEALED NUMEROUS SIMILAR ISSUES OCCURRING IN FORD TRUCKS.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN PARKING LOT. TRUCK BED ILLUMINATION LIGHTS ON THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY OVER HEATED AND MELTED THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE LIGHTS COME ON WHEN THE DOORS ARE OPEN, AND THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN THEM OFF WITHOUT CLOSING THE DOORS.

TRUCK SUDDENLY LOSES POWER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS FAIL. REPAIRED MULTIPLE TIMES BY DEALER DIAGNOSING WIRING CONNECTION FAIL UNDER SEATS. CONTINUES TO FAIL. 5 TIMES IN SHOP SINCE 2016, NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.

CORRODED BODY CONTROL MODULE AND WIRING. FORD TECHNICIANS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE CAUSE. CAUSED VEHICLE TO GO INTO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING IN AN UNSAFE MANNER.

STARTED MY TRUCK USING REMOTE START. ROUGHLY 45-55 SECS LATER, I GET IN MY TRUCK AND THE REAR PASSENGER AREA IS FILLED WITH SMOKE. I SHUT OFF VEHICLE. I SMELLED BURNED ELECTRICAL WIRES. I WASN'T ABLE TO DETECT ANYTHING OUT OF THE NORM. ROUGHLY 5-7 MINS LATER, MY BACK GLASS SHATTERED. TRUCK WAS STATIONARY.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 FORD F150 PLATINUM (V6 ECO BOOST) ON AN HWY (70 MPH) THE TRUCK ENCOUNTERED LOSS OF PEDAL RESPONSE AND THREE WARNING LIGHT AS I COASTED TO A STOP IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THESE THREE WARNING LIGHTS: HILL ASSIST TRACTION CONTROL, ADVANCED TRAC WARNING INDICATOR, DRIVER ASSISTANCE INDICATOR. THE TRUCK TO TRANSITION TO 'LIMP' MODE (ACCELERATOR AND POWER STEERING DOESN'T WORK) WHICH A DANGEROUS AND SCARY. MOST 'LIMP' MODE INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED WHILE DESCENDING DOWNHILL, HAS OCCURRED SEVEN TIMES SO FAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY JUST CLEAR CODE AND SAY YOUR GOOD ($130 DIAGNOSTIC FEE). THEN THE ERROR OCCURS THE SAME DAY. WITH MORE ONLINE RESEARCH THERE A MASSIVE PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH CAUSES THIS TO HAPPEN. THERE NEEDS TO BE A FORD RECALL FOR THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

TURNED DEFROST ON AND IN 2 TO 3 MINUTES HEARD A LOUD POP AND LOOKED BACK AND THE REAR WINDOWPANE HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED. THE BREAK HAPPENED IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. THE DEFROST MALFUNCTIONED AND OVERHEATED THE WINDOW CAUSING IT TO SHATTER.

MY 2015 F150 ECOBOOST HAS 79,156 MILES ON IT. OVER THE PAST 3 DAYS THE TRUCK HAS REPEATEDLY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. THE RPM WILL DROP DOWN TO 500 RPM, ROUGH IDLE, NO ACCELERATION AT ALL, HILL ASSIST LIGHT WRENCH LIGHT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT AND SEE OWNERS MANUAL POP UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. TOOK MY TRUCK INTO FORD TODAY AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY UNDER MY EXTENDE WARRANTY NOT THEIR EMISSIONS WARRANTY AS STATED IN THEIR OWNERS MANUAL OF 8 YEARS OR 80,000 MILES. CALLED FORD AND THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT AN EMISSIONS WARRANTY IN THEIR OWNERS MANUAL. LOOKED ONLINE AND YOUTUBE TO DISCOVER THIS PROBLEM IS NOT JUST ME AND FREQUENT WITH OTHERS. THIS CAN REALLY CAUSE A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. LUCKILY I'M A CDL DRIVER AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET OVER ON THE SHOULDER THIS TIME. I'M...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE HAD ALSO BEEN SOME DIFFICULTY SHIFTING GEARS FROM DRIVE INTO PARK AND REVERSE BECAUSE THE GEAR WOULD NOT FULLY SHIFT IN PLACE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 19V075000 (POWER TRAIN) AND 18V894000 (ENGINE). APPLE FORD LINCOLN OF APPLE VALLEY (7200 150TH ST W, APPLE VALLEY, MN 55124, (952) 431-5900) WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE AFTER IT HAD BEEN TAKEN BACK AND FORTH MORE THAN ONCE. THE FAILURE RECURRED WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING AT ANY RATE OF SPEED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER DUE TO THE POTENTIAL RISK OF A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: RQ17010 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000. *BF. CONSUMER REPLACED...

TRUCK IS GOING INTO LIMP MODE RANDOMLY AND IDLING ROUGH WITH NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. GETTING DTC CODE P2112, ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY ACTUATOR STUCK CLOSED. THOROUGHLY CLEANED THROTTLE BODY AND IT IS STILL HAPPENING. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD LEAVING ME WITH NO THROTTLE RESPONSE

MY 2015 FORD F150 LARIAT HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRIC TAILGATE RELEASE. TAILGATE OPENS WHEN NOT SUPPOSED TO. OPENS WHEN TRUCK IS STARTED, DURING DRIVING, AND WHEN TRUCK IS TURNED OFF. HAS HAPPENED FOR THE PAST 60 DAYS. TRUCK IS BEYOND WARRANTY AND NO RECALL NOTED. TAILGATE COMES OPEN WHILE TOWING TRAILER, CAUSING ISSUES. WHEN I TOW A TRAILER I HAVE TO PULL FUSE FOR TAILGATE RELEASE SO THAT IT DOES NOT DROP DURING DRIVING. VERY ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS. MOSTLY DO HIGHWAY DRIVING. CLICKING NOISE ON PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR WHEN TAILGATE IS CLOSED, TAILGATE WILL STAY CLOSED WHEN DOOR IS LOCKED. ONCE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED TAILGATE OPENS. NEED TO STEP OUT OF TRUCK, WHILE DOOR IS OPEN I LOCK THE DOORS, WALK TO TAILGATE CLOSE IT, RUN BACK TO DRIVERS SEAT, CLOSE DRIVERS DOOR AND PRESS DOOR LOCK BUTTON AGAIN TO KEEP TAILGATE LOCKED. WORKS SOMETIMES, OTHER TIMES I...

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY ROAD WHEN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED ON 11/13. THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WOULD GO DARK FOR A MINUTE AND THEN COME BACK ON FOR A FEW SECONDS, DURING WHICH I RECEIVED NUMEROUS WARNING MESSAGES. WHEN THE SYSTEM WAS OUT, THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY WAS DEAD AND POWER STEERING WAS OFFLINE. I STARTED TO RECEIVE WARNING MESSAGES ABOUT THE CHARGING SYSTEM ON 11/6. I BROUGHT IT TO THREE DIFFERENT PLACES BEFORE IT FAILED. ON 11/6 ADVANCE AUTO PARTS TOLD ME IT WAS FINE. THE LIGHT WENT AWAY AND LATER RETURNED.ON 11/8 AUTOZONE SAID THE BATTERY NEEDED A CHARGE. 11/9 MONRO SAID THE ALTERNATOR MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER MONRO, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH FORD. FIRST AVAILABLE WAS 11/14. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AFTER NOT DRIVING THE TRUCK 11/10-11/12. AFTER THE INCIDENT, I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO FORD FOR SERVICE. THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY AND RELUCTANTLY...

WAS DRIVING ON ROAD WITH 35MPH SPEED LIMIT, LOOKED DOWN AT SPEEDOMETER AND SAID I WAS GOING 85, EVER SINCE THE SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK BETWEEN 35 AND 95, WHEN STOPPED IT LAYS AT 35-40MPH. HAVE READ MANY OTHERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE HILL START ASSIST/TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON. A FEW HUNDRED MILES LATER, MORE DASH LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND THEN ALL DASH LIGHTS WENT OFF AND THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER. I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. AFTER A MOMENT, IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. AFTER A FEW MORE MILES, IT DID IT AGAIN, AND THIS TIME WHEN IT POWERED DOWN, THE ABS BREAK SYSTEM WENT ON AND CREATED A TERRIBLE GRINDING NOISE AND BROUGHT ME TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I LIMPED IT ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, TRYING TO FIND AN EXIT, AND THE TRUCK REPEATEDLY DID THE LIGHTS FLASHING/POWER DOWN/BREAKS APPLIED SEVERAL MORE TIMES AT LOW SPEED. THE NEAREST EXIT WAS ABOUT 10 MILES, SO I HAD TO CONTINUE TO DO THIS FOR SOME TIME. ONCE I WAS AT AN EXIT, I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY FOR ABOUT...

WE HAD A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE THIS SUMMER AND HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED AND TOWED. DURING DRIVING, WE LOST ALL POWER, MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE! WHEN I ASKED FORD ABOUT IT, THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE ISSUE; HOWEVER THEY ISSUED SEVERAL RECALLS REGARDING THIS. THIS TRUCK ISN'T IN THE RECALL, WHICH MAKES NO SENSE. IT IS EVIDENT THAT FORD HAS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THEIR THROTTLE BODIES I HAVE SPOKEN WITH FORD SEVERAL TIMES, THEY ARE NOT HELPFUL AND ARE REFUSING TO PAY FOR THIS.

THE ANALOG SPEEDOMETER SHOWS INCORRECT SPEED EVEN WHEN IT IS IN PARK IT SHOWS 25 MPH.

I STARTED THE TRUCK WITH THE REMOTE START TO LET IT WARM UP. AFTER AROUND 3 TO 5 MINUTES WE WENT TO GET IN AND NOTICED SMOKE AND A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM THE BACK SEAT. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND INSPECTED THE AREA THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM AND NOTICED THE INSULATION WAS BURNED FROM THE WIRE AND MY BACK WINDOW HAD CRACKS OVER THE ENTIRE SURFACE. I BELIEVE THE REAR DEFROST SHORTED OUT

ELECTRICAL POWER CONNECTOR FOR REAR SLIDING WINDOW DEFROSTER BROKE AT ITS ATTACHMENT (FACTORY SOLDERED) POINT TO THE REAR SLIDING WIDOW GLASS. THIS LEAVES THE DEFOGGER INOPERABLE AND ELIMINATES REAR VISIBILITY DUE TO FOG/FROST/ICE BUILD-UP. VEHICLE IS JUST OUT OF ITS 3 YEAR WARRANTY AND HAS LESS THAN 28,000 MILES. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SERVICE IS UNWILLING TO RECOGNIZE/CORRECT THE FACTORY DEFECT AND CLAIMED TO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF SIMILAR ISSUES FOR THE 2015 MODEL. THIS DEFECT IS APPARENTLY SIMILAR TO THAT WHICH FORD HAS RECOGNIZED FOR SIMILAR 2013 MODELS, ISSUING A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (FORD TSB ASI-32259)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE ANALOG SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE WAS STUCK AT 100 MPH. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000.
