2015 FORD F-150 Electrical System Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE PASSING AN 18-WHEELER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED AND THE COLLISION WARNING WITH BRAKE SUPPORT FEATURE ENGAGED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE SENSORS OR AN ELECTRICAL FAULT WITHIN THE VEHICLE COULD BE AFFECTING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND COLLISION WARNING WITH BRAKE SUPPORT, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH. THE DEALER (AUTONATION FORD FRISCO, 6850 TX-121, FRISCO, TX 75034, 1-(972) 763-5523) WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO WAY TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE WITHOUT A DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE. THE DEALER DID NOT TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL A DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ALL AMERICAN FORD IN PARAMUS NJ WILL NOT SUPPLY A LOANER VEHICLE FOR A RECALL THAT WILL TAKE SEVERAL HOURS. I WAS TOLD SINCE I DID NOT PURCHASE THE VEHICLE AT THAT DEALERSHIP THEY CAN'T HELP ME.

THE TRUCKS WARNING SYSTEM HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT IS HARD TO EXPLAIN. THE SYSTEM WILL DISPLAY MULTIPLE WARNING AND ERROR MESSAGES WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENS INFREQUENTLY, WHICH IS WHY THE DEALER CAN NOT FIX IT. THE DRIVER'S DISPLAY SCREEN WILL CYCLE THROUGH MANY WARNINGS, I.E. "TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK", "PARKING BRAKE WARNING", "4 BY 4 WARNING ETC. PROBABLY AT LEAST A DOZEN MESSAGES. ITS NOT JUST ANNOYING. SOMETIMES THE TURN SIGNAL WILL NOT WORK. THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO 0 - WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CRUISE CONTROL USUALLY WONT WORK. SO, TO REITERATE, WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS, THE SYSTEM BEEPS FOR EACH MESSAGE, THE DISPLAY GOES BLACK, TURN SIGNALS DON'T WORK, THE RADIO DOESN'T WORK. THIS TYPICALLY LASTS FOR 5 TO 20 MINUTES BEFORE CLEARING UP. THE DEALER HAS SEEN THE HUNDREDS OF WARNING AND ERROR MESSAGES THAT ACCUMULATE, BUT THEY CAN'T FIX IT...

WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK (TYPICALLY AT MODERATE SPEEDS - 20 - 30MPH) IT WILL SUDDENLY REDUCE RPMS TO ABOUT 500 AND THE SPEED WILL DROP TO AROUND 5 MPH. SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THAT OCCURRING I WILL RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING WARNING INDICATORS "HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE" THEN ANOTHER WARNING "HILL DESCENT CONTROL FAULT" THEN ANOTHER WARNING "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" THEN "SEE MANUAL". THIS HAPPENS TYPICALLY WHILE ACCELERATING AND HAS OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS AS WELL AS WHILE MERGING ON A HIGHWAY ON RAMP (BAD SITUATION). THE RESOLUTION IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AN LET IT SIT FOR A SECOND THEN START IT AND DRIVE SLOWLY. THIS IS WIDELY DOCUMENTED ACROSS THE INTERNET WITH NO IDENTIFIED CAUSE AND CONSTITUTES A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD.

WHILE DRIVING THERE IS RATTLING INSIDE OF THE STEERING COLUMN THAT STARTED A FEW MONTHS BACK. NOW MY ALTERNATOR SEEMS TO NOT BE WORKING PROPERLY AND THE TRUCK WILL ONLY CRANK WHEN I HAVE ALL EXTRAS OFF (RADIO, AC, ETC.) I ALSO HAVE TO PUMP THE GAS FOR SOME REASON FOR IT TO TURN OVER COMPLETELY. OTHERWISE IT JUST DIES. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM UNTIL LAST WEEK WHEN IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER AT ALL. MY BATTERY IS PULLING 13.9 V AND I HAVE CHECKED THE CONNECTIONS. FOR A TRUCK TO BE 3 YEARS OLD AND ALREADY NEED A NEW ALTERNATOR APPALLS ME. THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON AND THE RATTLING IN THE STEERING COLUMN IS SOMEHOW RELATED TO ME HAVING PROBLEMS CRANKING THE TRUCK.

2015 F150 2.7L ECOBOOST 31,908 MILES... UPON MERGING INTO TRAFFIC TRUCK SUDDENLY SURGES, FOLLOWED BY AUDIBLE BANG THEN ABRUPTLY LOSES ALL POWER "NO DRIVING CONDITIONS OUT OF THE ORDINARY, NOT UNDER HARD ACCELERATION." WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIGHT UP AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OF VEHICLE. LUCKILY I WAS FORTUNATE TO NOT HAVE MUCH TRAFFIC AROUND ME AT THE TIME AND PROMPTLY COASTED INTO A DESERTED PARKING LOT TO CALL MY DEALERSHIP. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK NOW FOR FEAR OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT DUE TO MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL FAILURE, I DON'T WANT TO DIE AND DON'T WANT TO PUT ANYONE IT THAT POSITION EITHER. DEALER REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND SAYS ITS OK TO DRIVE YET THE THROTTLE BODY THEY USED AS A REPLACEMENT IS NO DIFFERENT THEN THE ONE THAT FAILED HOW CAN THAT BE SAFE? I'D LIKE THEM TO TRUST A TRUCK THAT CEASED ALL ESSENTIAL...

WHILE DRIVING ON 1-90 THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DO N ON ITS OWN 3 TIMES SO FAR . IT IS MAKING US PANIC ON OUR ROAD TRIP. IT IS SUNDAY SO CAN'T GET IT LOOKED AT UNTIL TOM. WE HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT NOT STARTING AS WELLL TOOK IT IN TO THE PUYALLUP DEALER AND THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. I WANT THERE TO BE SOMETHING IN WRITING IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO US ON THIS TRIP.

THERE IS AN EXISTING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SAFETY RECALL OPEN FOR THIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL, BUT MY TRUCK ALSO EXPERIENCES THE EXACT SAME ISSUES DESCRIBED BY FORD ON THEIR OWN SITE EVERY TIME I USE THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL: HTTPS://MEDIA.FORD.COM/CONTENT/FORDMEDIA/FNA/US/EN/NEWS/2015/09/30/FORD-ISSUES-FIVE-SAFETY-RECALLS-AND-ONE-SAFETY-COMPLIANCE-RECALL.HTML I'M SURE THAT THE EXISTING SAFETY RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO ADDITIONAL VINS WITHIN THE F-150 RANGE OF VEHICLES. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN THE WAY IT CURRENTLY OPERATES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, THE AUTOMATIC RUNNING BOARD INADVERTENTLY RETRACTED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S FOOT WAS LODGED BETWEEN THE RUNNING BOARD AND THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER (BUSS FORD LINCOLN, 111 NORTH ILLINOIS ROUTE 31, MCHENRY, IL 60050) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THAT SPECIFIC FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

I WAS CROSSING A BUSY HIGHWAY BRIDGE AND THE TRUCK STARTED VIOLENTLY JERKING AND SHAKING, STUTTERING BARELY MOVING. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP OVER OUT OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND. I TOOK TO FORD HOUSE TO HAVE REPAIRED. TURNS OUT THE THRODDLE BODY WAS DEFECTIVE AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE LIST EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2015 MODEL VEHICLE. DO I NEED TO JOIN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT TO BE REIMBURSED?

THE "THIRD BRAKE LIGHT" IS MELTING DUE TO EXCESS HEAT PUT OFF BY THE BULBS.NOT ONLY IS THE HOUSING MELTING BUT IT HAS ALLOWED LARGE AMOUNTS OF CONDENSATION IN WHEN IT RAINS. THIS PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTICED ROUGHLY A YEAR AGO BUT CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. FORD NOT ONLY WANTS TO CHARGE ME FOR A REPAIR BUT THEY PLAN TO USE THE SAME PART WHICH I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN WITH THE SAME ISSUE IN ABOUT A DOZEN 2015 F150S AS WELL AS READ ABOUT IT IN VARIOUS FORUMS ONLINE EFFECTING COUNTLESS 2015 F150 OWNERS. I HAVE PHOTOS THAT DATE BACK TO OVER A YEAR AGO THAT SHOW THE PROGRESSION OF THE ISSUE OVER TIME. MY FEAR IS THAT WITH TIME IT MAY CAUSE AN EVEN BIGGER ISSUE BY ALLOWING WATER TO COME IN AND EVEN BE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF LOCKED UP ON ME WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN IT... IT WOULD NOT OPEN AND IT MAKES OBNOXIOUS NOISES UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ... THERE ARE MANY YOU TUBE VIDEOS ON THIS REF. ISSUE... FORD IS REPLACING THE PARTS TO THE SUNROOF, I HAVE READ ON MANY FORD FORUMS THAT THIS 'QUICK FIX' WILL NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM ... ADDITIONALLY THE STEERING COLUMN ALWAYS FEELS LIKE IT'S POSITIONED OFF CENTER AND VEERS TO THE RIGHT... I HAD THE TRUCK ALIGNED, PROBLEM STILL EXISTS... ALSO I'VE HAD REOCCURRING ISSUES WITH MY SYNC/BLUETOOTH AND HAVE ADVISED MY SERVICE ADVISORS THAT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, WHEN I TALK TO ANYONE VIA THE BLUETOOTH I HEAR LOUD INTERMITTENT STATIC THROUGHOUT THE PHONE CALL AND THE FOLKS ON THE RECEIVING END OF THE CALL ALL SAY THAT THERE IS AN ECHO IN THE PHONE LINE FORCING ME TO END THE HANDSFREE SYNC...

UNKNOWN IF TAKATA RECALL OR OTHER AIR BAG ISSUE. I AM INVESTIGATING OFFICER NOT VEHICLE OWNER. OBSERVED THAT POST MOVING 2 CAR INTERSECTION CRASH AND AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, B-PILLAR STARTED ON FIRE, MELTING SEAT BELT, MOST OF B-PILLAR AND PARTS OF CURTAIN AND SIDE AIRBAGS. FIRE PUT ITSELF OUT. OWNER WAS NOT INJURED BUT CONCERNED. HEAT APPEARED TO HAVE MELTED SEAT BELT THROUGH, AIR BAGS WERE BURNT. CASE#M18-1676

THROTTLE BODY FAILED CAUSING THE TRUCK TO ENTER LIMP MODE SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH BY BEING REAR ENDED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN TRYING TO ENTER A HWY OR INTERSTATE HWY. MULTIPLE ELECTRONIC MODULE FAILURES SINCE NEW. TRUCK IS A DEATH TRAP.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2015 F150 ON A LOCAL STREET AND WANTED TO TURN OFF THE RADIO SO SHE COULD SPEAK WITH ME. SHE ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE START/STOP BUTTON AND THE ENGINE SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. WE WERE DOING 35 MPH AT THE TIME AND THE TRUCK WAS IN "DRIVE." WE MANAGED TO WRESTLE THE TRUCK TO A STOP, PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART WITH NO PROBLEM. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. I TESTED IT LATER IN OUR DRIVEWAY AND THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT IN A "PUSH BUTTON START/STOP" YOU SHOULD EVER BE ABLE TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF WHILE IN MOTION AND IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. I CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP MAINTENANCE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT WAS "NORMAL."

SEVERAL NON STARTING ISSUES. ON ONE OCCASION, INSTRUMENT PANEL DID NOT COME ON AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH NO INDICATION OF SPEED, ENGINE/TRANSMISSION INFORMATION, AND OTHER VITAL DATA. AFTER SEVERAL RESTARTS, INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON AFTER A 45 SECOND DELAY. A WRENCH WARNING ICON WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY SERVICING DEALER THE FOLLOWING DAY. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, SO NO REPAIR WAS MADE. THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. WE WERE PARKED ON A CITY STREET. THIS TRUCK HAS HAD SEVERAL ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. I HAVE SEVERAL SERVICE RECORDS WHICH I WILL SUPPLY IF NEEDED TO HELP YOUR INVESTIGATION.

I HAVE A 2015 F150 KING RANCH WITH THE 3.5L ECOBOOST. IT HAS 41,000 MILES AND NEVER HAD AN ISSUE UNTIL YESTERDAY MORNING AND TODAY AROUND LUNCH. THIS WAS FROM YESTERDAY 10/23/17: HILL DESCENT CONTROL FAULT SERVICE ADVANCETRAC HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE I WAS PULLING OUT ONTO A HIGHWAY AND THE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY, MOVING VERY SLOW WITH NO ACCELERATION, POWER STEERING WAS LOST, AND THE DASHBOARD WAS SHOWING ALL THE ABOVE ERRORS. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO VEHICLES COMING WHEN I ENTERED THE HIGHWAY AND THERE WAS A PLACE TO SAFELY PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO IDLE ROUGH AND SHAKE VIOLENTLY. AND TODAY 10/24/17: I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK DID THE SAME THING AS YESTERDAY MORNING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND SHUT OFF THE MOTOR. ONCE I RESTARTED THE ENGINE, I...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. A LOCAL DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,042.

WHILE TRAVELING, WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR, I HAD AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FAILURE CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO ABRUPTLY DECELERATE. THIS JUST SO HAPPENED TO OCCUR WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND IN A CURVE BUT FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. I DID NOT KNOW AT THE TIME THAT THIS WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND ASSUMED IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE ISSUE AND THE REPAIR COST I DECIDED TO RESEARCH IT AND IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A PRETTY COMMON OCCURRENCE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS ISSUE MADE INTO A RECALL FOR SAFETY PURPOSES AND FOR FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE TO OTHER FORD OWNERS.

APRIL 26, 2017 THE FOLLOWING COMPONENTS MALFUNCTIONED SIMULTANEOUSLY WHEN RETURNING TO TRUCK FROM SHOPPING: RUNNING BOARDS WOULD NOT DEPLOY OR RETRACT; AIRBAG(S) WARNING LIGHT ON DASH WAS LIT; CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM, BOTH HEAT AND COOLING WAS OUT OF SERVICE; FRONT WINDOWS WOULD NOT RESPOND TO CONTROLS; SEAT COMFORT FUNCTIONS DID NOT WORK; MIRROR ADJUSTMENT AND RETRACTION INOPERABLE; BACK-UP SYSTEM AND WARNINGS INOPERABLE; CROSS TRAFFIC SYSTEM FAULT; BLIND SPOT WARNING ERROR. WIRING HARNESSES REPLACES AND PICKED TRUCK UP MAY 12TH 2017. THAT EVENING WHILE DRIVING WITH A TRAILER, A MESSAGE APPEARED CONCERNING THE TRAILER BEING DISCONNECTED. THAT DISAPPEARED AND THEN THE FOLLOWING HAPPENED: WARNING MESSAGES BEGAN TO APPEAR ON THE DRIVER'S DISPLAY SCREEN SAYING, 'YOUR VEHICLE IS NOT IN PARK', 'CHECK MANUAL', 'DOWNHILL ASSIST NOT OPERATIONAL'. THEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT, THE TRUCK LOST POWER (THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING), IT SHIFTED INTO DOWNHILL ASSIST, FRONT WINDOWS DIDN'T WORK, PASSENGER SEAT...

THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SLAMS ON THE BRAKES AFTER JUST PASSING THE END OF A SEMI OR LARGE TRUCK. IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY BUT HAS CONTINUED OVER THE LAST 14 MONTHS. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WE TRADED THE VEHICLE IN THIS LAST WEEK IT STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM .

ON 2/23/2017 WHILE DRIVING 50-55 MPH ON AN EXPRESSWAY, THE VEHICLE THROTTLE BECAME UNRESPONSIVE. THE TACHOMETER STILL SHOWED ABOUT 1,000 RPMS, DASH LIGHTS BEGAN ILLUMINATING, ADVANCETRAC WAS DISABLED, HILL START ASSIST WAS DISABLED, THE WRENCH LIGHT ENABLED AND A CHECK MANUAL LIGHT ENABLED. THERE ALSO WAS A HARD SHIFT OR CLUNK SOUND THAT CAME FROM THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER SHIFTING THE TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL WHILE COASTING, I ATTEMPTED TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE ENGINE. ENGINE SUCCESSFULLY RESTARTED, BUT THE THROTTLE REMAINED UNRESPONSIVE AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS MENTIONED ABOVE RETURNED. I PULLED THE TRUCK SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART AGAIN. THIS TIME THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND THEN I TURNED IT OFF. NEXT I REMOVED THE KEY, OPENED THE DOOR, CLOSED THE DOOR, LOCKED THE TRUCK, WAITED FOR THE ACCESSORY LIGHTS TO TURN OFF, UNLOCKED THE TRUCK, OPENED AND CLOSED THE DOOR AND THEN RESTARTED, AND...

MY 2015 FORD F-150 WAS PARKED ON MY DRIVEWAY. DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK IN 14* NORTHERN MICHIGAN TEMPERATURES. MY KEY FOB, DOOR KEY, AND KEYPAD WOULD NOT OPEN THE LOCKS AFTER THE TRUCK WAS REMOTELY STARTED. AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF ME OR MY FAMILY WERE PARTICIPATING IN COLD WEATHER OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES IN REMOTE AREAS. PLEASE REFER TO MY UPLOADED DOCUMENT WHICH DESCRIBES THE SITUATION AS IT UNFOLDED. I HAVE READ IN ONLINE FORUMS OF OTHER F-150 OWNERS HAVING THE SAME KIND OF DOOR LOCK ISSUES. I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY SAFETY RECALLS FROM FORD. I AM WONDERING WHY. DOORS THAT WILL NOT OPEN ARE DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES. PARTICULARLY IN COLD WEATHER STATES LIKE MICHIGAN.

THE POWER LOCKS ON MY TRUCK TO NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. SOME TIMES THEY WILL NOT UNLOCK AND SOME TIMES THAT WILL NOT LOCK. THIS MORNING I UNLOCK THE DRIVERS DOOR AND GO TO THE STORE, I GET TO THE STORE AND UNLOCK THE REAR DRIVERS DOOR. I COME BACK OUT OF THE STORE AND ONLY 1 DOOR OF THE 4 DOORS WOULD UNLOCK, (DRIVERS DOOR) I REACH ACROSS AND OPEN THE PASSENGER DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, PUT THE GROCERIES AND THEN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK.

I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN MY 2015 FORD F150 POWER DOORS USING THE KEY FOB, DOOR CODE BUTTONS, OR GRIP HANDLE SENSORS. THIS WAS MOST CONCERNING BECAUSE THE ISSUE STARTED WITH THE REAR DOORS; THIS CAUSED MY CHILD TO BECOME STUCK IN THE VEHICLE. THE TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW FREEZING AT THIS TIME. IF I HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO RELEASE THE DOOR THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY ISSUES TO MY YOUNG CHILDREN. THIS ISSUE HAS SINCE PROGRESSED TO ALL DOORS BECOMING DYSFUNCTIONAL. MY VEHICLE IS NOW AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP. MY VEHICLE WAS BOTH STATIONARY AND IN MOTION AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT ON CITY STREETS AND FREEWAY. IF I HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND QUICKLY NEEDED TO EXTRACT MY CHILDREN FROM THE VEHICLE THE ISSUE OF THE DOORS NOT FUNCTIONING AND FREEZING COULD HAVE PUT MY AND MY CHILDREN'S WELL FARE AT EXTREME RISK.

ELECTRIC THROTTLE BODY REPAIR. 16B32 IS THE CODE. MY TRUCK SHUT OFF ON ME ON THE HIGHWAY ALMOST HURTING OR KILLING ME. THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE I BOUGHT 8 MONTHS AGO 8000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TAILGATE DID BIG TIME DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE ON ITS OWN. THE FAILURE DAMAGED THE WIRING CABLE ON THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTER WIRES THAT WERE DAMAGED NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FIRST IN ORDER TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSE THE TAILGATE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE CONTACT HAD NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000. UPDATED 01/10/17* LJ *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH ALL THE DOORS LOCKED, THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS FAILED TO REMAIN LOCKED. IN ADDITION, THE WINDOW LOCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS ENGAGED, BUT FAILED WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED HIGHER SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000. UPDATED 09/22/16*LJ *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE "TRAILER DISCONNECTED" WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PRESSED THE OK BUTTON TO CLEAR THE MESSAGE AND THE "BRAKE GAIN" WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF RANGE RESISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000. UPDATED 09/27/16*LJ UPDATED 10/18/2017*JS

NEW 2015 F150, ACCELERATES AND DECELERATES ON ITS OWN. BRAKES CREATE LOUD NOISE. WIRING HARNESS AS IT RELATES TO THE SHIFTING OF THE TRUCK WAS REPLACED WITHIN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS AS WELL. AUTO OFF FREQUENTLY REFUSES TO RESTART. LOSS OF COMPLETE POWER ON HIGHWAY.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD TELLING ME TO BRING THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL REPROGRAMMED. I DID HAVE THIS WORK DONE. AFTER THE WORK WAS DONE I HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE I WAS PASSING AN 18 WHEELER AND THE TRUCK SET OFF THE COLLISION WARNING ALARM AND APPLIED THE BRAKES HARD. IF SOMEONE WAS FOLLOWING CLOSELY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A COLLISION. THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC IN MY LANE FOR AT LEAST 1/4 MILE AHEAD. FORD HAS NOT BEEN HELPFUL IN RESOLVING THIS ISSUE AND THEIR ONLY SUGGESTION IS TO TURN OFF THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR WHAT I FEEL IS AN IMPORTANT AND USEFUL SAFETY FEATURE AND WANT FORD TO FIX THE SYSTEM SO IT WILL NOT MALFUNCTION AND POSSIBLY CAUSE A REAR END COLLISION.

TODAY, 1/17/16 ON MY WAY HOME I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROSTER BUT THE LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON SO I ASSUMED A FUSE HAD BLOWN OR SOMETHING. THEN WHILE CONTINUING ON MY DRIVE HOME, ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES, LATER I HEARD A LOUD SOUND LIKE A GUN SHOT AND WHEN I TURNED TO SEE WHAT IT WAS LOW AND BEHOLD THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. APPARENTLY THIS HAS HAPPENED TO HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF FORD TRUCKS FROM 2009-2014 AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. US AS CONSUMERS SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BARE THE BURDEN OF THE EXPENSE FOR REPAIR OF A KNOWN DEFECTIVE PART, OR AS SOME OF THE DEALERS HAVE SUGGESTED, FILE THE CLAIM WITH YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY. HERE AGAIN, IT IS EXACTLY THESE TYPES OF CLAIMS THAT WILL KEEP INCREASING INSURANCE PREMIUMS FOR US CONSUMERS BECAUSE LARGE CORPORATIONS LIKE FORD WILL NOT STEP UP AND DO...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE PUSH START BUTTON WAS TOUCHED AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE STILL IN DRIVE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TESTED THE FAILURE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL RELATED TO THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL NEEDED TO REPROGRAMMED AND FURTHER INSPECTION WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

2015 FORD F-150. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIRBAG PROBLEMS, IGNITION PROBLEMS AND VEHICLE TIRES ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE A/C BLEW OUT HOT AIR, THE TRANSMISSION WAS JERKY WHEN HE APPLIED THE BRAKE, THEN THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS FIRST STARTED, THERE WAS A LOUD GRINDING/GROWLING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE BY THE DRIVER FRONT WHEEL, THERE WAS EXCESSIVE CABIN NOISE, AND TIRE NOISE. THE ELECTRIC ENGINE FAN CAME ON WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING OUTSIDE IN THE HEAT, THE UNDERCARRIAGE WAS SHOWING SIGNS OF CORROSION. WATER WAS LEAKING THROUGH THE DRIVER ASSIST HANDLE GRIP NEAR THE WINDSHIELD. *JB

TOTAL LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. AT 3022 MILES THE ENGINE CUT OFF WHILE AT 40-50MPH. A SMART DATA LINK WAS REPLACED. AT 3619 MILES THE ENGINE CUT OFF AGAIN WHILE ACCELERATING AT 40-50 MPH. BOTH INCIDENTS HAPPENED WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF STARTING THE ENGINE. SEVERAL ALERTS POP UP ON THE SCREEN TO INCLUDE LOSS OF BRAKING, HILL ASSIST, AND SERVICE ENGINE. FIRST REPAIR WAS FOR 10 DAYS. CURRENT REPAIR IS 3 DAYS AND COUNTING. CURRENTLY I AM AWARE OF ANOTHER F150 WITH THE ECOBOOST 2.7 ENGINE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO FIX.

COOLED SEATS DO NOT COOL. INSTEAD THE BACK OF THE SEATS, THE PART THAT TOUCHES MY BACK, GETS HOT ALL THE TIME. IT'S A FIRE HAZARD. IT FEELS AS IF THE HEATED SEATS WERE ON ALL THE TIME. OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE REPORTED TEMPERATURES UP TO 150 DEGREES: HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/FORD/F-150/2015/ACCESSORIES-INTERIOR/SEAT_TEMPERATURE_CONTROL_NOT_WORKING_PROPERLY.SHTML

AFTER MORNING STARTUP, VEHICLE STUMBLED, HESITATED ON ACCELERATION INTO TRAFFIC. VEHICLE STALLED AFTER APPROXIMATELY DRIVING 1 MILE. WOULD RE-START, ONLY IDLE, THEN STALL WHEN PUT INTO DRIVE AND ATTEMPTED TO RE-ENTER TRAFFIC. I HAD TOWED TO CLOSEST FORD DEALERSHIP FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS. MY VEHICLE WAS RETURNED OVER TWO WEEKS LATER. THE SERVICE INVOICE OUTLINED THAT THE LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WAS FOUND BAD, SHORTED AND CONNECTING PLUG TO HARNESS MELTED. THEY REPLACED FUEL PUMP AND REPAIRED HARNESS PLUG. VEHICLE WAS NOT FIXED. OVER THE TWO WEEK PERIOD THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER, BODY CONTROL MODULE, AND LAST THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. MY MAJOR CONCERN IS THE MELTED FUEL PUMP PLUG. I WOULD THINK THERE WOULD BE ADEQUATE FUSIBLE LINK PROTECTION TO KEEP THIS KIND OF PROBLEM FROM HAPPENING ESPECIALLY WHEN AFFECTING AN IN TANK FUEL PUMP. THIS MIGHT LEAD...

MY 2015 LARIAT HAS HEATED/COOLED LEATHER FRONT SEATS. WHEN USING THE SEAT COOLING FUNCTION I NOTICED THE SEAT BOTTOM WOULD COOL BUT THE SEAT BACK SEEMED TO GET WARM. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS MY IMAGINATION. ATTEMPTED TO USE IT ON FRIDAY AND ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER MY BACK WAS HOT. I PULLED OVER, FELT THE SEAT BACK WITH MY PALM, THEN MY CHEEK AND IT WAS HOT TO THE TOUCH.

WHEN THE AC CONTROL FOR THE FRONT SEATS IS IN USE THE BACK OF THE SEATS CAN REACH TEMPERATURES OF 110 DEGREES WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IN THE CAB IS 73 DEGREES. THIS TEMPERATURE COULD BURN MY CHILDREN WHO RIDE IN THE BACK SEATS OR EVEN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SEAT OR RISK OF FIRE. I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS OF THIS ON THE WEB AND FROM OTHER OWNERS OF 2015 FORD F150 WITH THIS OPTION.
