WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT IN THE FAR LEFT LANE GOING 72 MPH WITH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE TRUCK RANDOMLY SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND THE RED CRASH INDICATOR FLASHED ALTHOUGH THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK. IF SOMEONE WAS BEHIND ME, IT IS LIKELY THEY WOULD HAVE REAR ENDED MY VEHICLE. THERE SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE AUTO CRUISE CONTROL,ALTHOUGH FORD BELIEVES THIS BEHAVIOR IS NORMAL.

AS I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND CAME TO FIRST STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS BAD.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET AND ENGAGED ON VEHICLE AT 75 MPH. MY VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON INSIDE LANE OF FOUR LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY AND CAME UP ON SLIGHTLY SLOWER VEHICLE TRAVELING IN THE SAME LANE AT AROUND 70 MPH. MY VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND TRACKED THE OTHER VEHICLE FOR ABOUT A MILE BEFORE COMING UP ON A SLOWER MOVING TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK IN THE OUTSIDE LANE. AS THE VEHICLE IN FRONT ON MY TRUCK PASSED THE TRACTOR TRAILER ON THE INSIDE LANE, IT MOVED OVER IN FRONT OF THE TRACTOR TRAILER TO THE OUTSIDE LANE TO ALLOW ME TO PASS. INSTEAD ON SPEEDING UP TO 75 MPH, MY TRUCK STARTED TO BRAKE BEFORE I DISENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL (AROUND 65 MPH). AT THAT TIME, I WAS LOCATED BESIDE THE TRACTOR TRAILER NEAR THE BACK OF THE TRAILER. A VEHICLE FOLLOWING ME HAD TO BRAKE DUE MY TRUCK UNEXPECTED BRAKING AND SLOW DOWN.

DRIVERS SIDE SIDEVIEW MIRROR GLASS IS LOOSE AND WILL SHAKE GOING OVER BUMPS OR DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DURING PARTICULARLY HIGH WIND, BUMPY HIGHWAY TRAVEL, IT CAN BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DISCERN WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IN THE MIRROR, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT AND UNSAFE TO PERFORM LANE CHANGES. THIS HAS BEEN DESCRIBED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY AS AN "UNFAVORABLE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE".

THIS MORNING THE TEMP. WAS 6 DEGREES OUTSIDE, MY TRUCK WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE I OPENED THE DOOR GOT IN AND STARTED THE VEHICLE. ONCE I TRIED TO CLOSE THE DOOR DRIVER DOOR IT WOULDN'T LATCH CLOSE. I TRIED TO UNLOCK/LOCK IT FROM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE BUT STILL WOULD LATCH CLOSED. INSTEAD OF GETTING IT TOED TO A DEALER I HAD TO DRIVE WHILE HOLDING MY DOOR CLOSED. ONCE I GOT TO WORK (30 MILE DRIVE) THE DOOR BEGAN TO LATCH AGAIN... THIS PUT ME IN A SAFETY RISK AND IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THE NEW F150'S FROM READING THE FORUM COMMUNITY. PLEASE HELP GET FORD TO FIX IT. THE DEALER JUST WANTED TO SPRAY LUBE EXTERNALLY ON THE DOOR MECHANISM WHICH DOES NOTHING.

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 TO FUEL FIRES AND ALSO ACCIDENTS DUE TO LOSS OF POWER FROM THE ENGINE. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO SAFELY GET MY VEHICLE ON THE ROAD SHOULDER, AND THEN ONTO A SIDE STREET WITH MINIMAL TRAFFIC. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THAT ONE DEVICE FAILURE CREATING FAILURES IN MULTIPLE VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEMS THAT WOULD COST THE CONSUMER THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OUT OF WARRANTY TO REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THAT A FORD FIELD ENGINEER WAS SENT TO ASSIST THE DEALERSHIP, AFTER HIS VISIT, THE ECM WAS REPLACED WHICH MADE THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONAL AGAIN. ADEQUATE OVERCURRENT PROTECTION ON THE FUEL PUMP SHOULD HAVE PREVENTED DAMAGING THE OTHER CRITICAL PARTS. FORD HAS PUT A LOT OF THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD WITH THE FUEL EFFICIENCY NEW ENGINEERING AS A MAJOR MARKETING TOOL. I FEAR THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE BEEN RUSHED TO PRODUCTION WITH INHERENT FLAWS THAT COULD BE A DANGER TO OWNERS AND THE PUBLIC.

8/27/2015

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.

THE VEHICLE IS A 2015 FORD F-150 EXTENDED CAB. MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT, BUT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE SEATBELT/DOOR LATCHES. DESIGN OF THE REAR DOORS AND THE LATCHES TRAPS THE REAR SEAT PASSENGER IN THE EVENT OF THE INCAPACITATION OF THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. THE REAR DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED UNLESS THE FRONT DOOR IS OPENED FIRST. THERE IS NO WAY FOR A REAR SEAT PASSENGER TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THE FRONT DOOR IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, AND THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF EGRESS FOR REAR SEAT PASSENGERS. THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT AFFECTING ALL 2015 F-150 CREW CAB PICKUPS. SO FAR THERE I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT, BUT THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY FORD BEFORE THERE ARE TRAGIC RESULTS FROM THE DESIGN ERROR.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET AND ENGAGED ON VEHICLE AT 75 MPH. MY VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON INSIDE LANE OF FOUR LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY AND CAME UP ON SLIGHTLY SLOWER VEHICLE TRAVELING IN THE SAME LANE AT AROUND 70 MPH. MY VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND TRACKED THE OTHER VEHICLE FOR ABOUT A MILE BEFORE COMING UP ON A SLOWER MOVING TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK IN THE OUTSIDE LANE. AS THE VEHICLE IN FRONT ON MY TRUCK PASSED THE TRACTOR TRAILER ON THE INSIDE LANE, IT MOVED OVER IN FRONT OF THE TRACTOR TRAILER TO THE OUTSIDE LANE TO ALLOW ME TO PASS.

2015 FORD F-150 MANUAL ON PAGE 263 HAS INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER SETUP OF AN EQUALIZING HITCH FOR TOWING A TRAILER. THE INSTRUCTIONS CALL FOR RETURN OF THE FRONT FENDER HEIGHT 25% OF THE WAY FROM HEIGHT WHEN LOADED WITH TRAILER TO HEIGHT WITH NO TRAILER. THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE HITCH MANUFACTURER WHO RECOMMENDS FRONT FENDER HEIGHT TO 75% OF THE WAY FROM LOADED TO UNLOADED CONDITION. IN THE WORDS OF THE HITCH MANUFACTURER "WHY WOULD YOU PUT ON AN EQUALIZING HITCH AND NOT SET IT UP TO DO WHAT IT'S INTENDED TO DO?". THE RESULT OF THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE FORD MANUAL WOULD BE INADEQUATE EQUALIZATION, AND THEREFORE LOSS OF STEERING WITH A RESULTING POTENTIAL FOR ACCIDENT. I THINK THIS IS JUST A TYPO, BUT HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND ANYONE AT FORD WHO WILL LISTEN AND FIND SOMEONE TECHNICAL ENOUGH TO CHECK IT OUT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS IN RAIN OR EXCESSIVE SUNLIGHT, THE CONTACT'S VISION IN THE DRIVER SIDE REARVIEW MIRROR WAS OBSTRUCTED BECAUSE THE CHROME AIR VENT CREATED A GLARE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS RECOMMENCED THAT THE WINDOWS BE TINTED. THE WINDOWS WERE TINTED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28. UPDATED 8/19/15*CN

10/2/2015

MY TRUCK'S COLLISION AVOIDANCE / ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL HAS FALSE SENSING WHEN PASSING LARGE HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS. AT 50-75MPH WITH SOMEONE RIGHT BEHIND YOU, THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. IF A HEAVY DUTY TRUCK IS ONE OR TWO LANES TO YOUR RIGHT AND YOU ARE PASSING THEM WITH NO ONE IN FRONT OF YOU, THE RADAR SENSOR SENSES INCORRECTLY AND HITS THE BRAKES, FLASHES THE RED COLLISION AVOIDANCE LIGHT AND THE TONE GOES OFF. I'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN AT LEAST 30 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK BRAND NEW.. 4-5 TIMES I'VE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED. IT DOESN'T DO IT WITH ALL SEMI'S, SO IT'S VERY UNEXPECTED. I'VE TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE FORD DEALERS, AND THEY'VE ATTEMPTED REPAIRS AT LEAST 5 TIMES NOW. PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED AND IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WONDERING WHEN IT WILL BE APPLYING THE BRAKES OUT OF NOWHERE FOR NO REASON. IT'S ALSO NOT SAFE TO LET SOMEONE ELSE DRIVE WHO IS UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE FORD RECALL 15S29 AND NHTSA 15V614000, HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED FEB 2015.

5/20/2016

MY 2015 FORD F150 PLATINUM HAS HAD THE FORD RECALL 15S29 APPLIED SEPT 30, 2015. THE ABOVE MENTIONED 2015 FORD F150 PLATINUM HAS SINCE HAD THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM, HARD BRAKING WHILE PASSING A SEMI TRAILER WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS. THIS SERIOUS EVENT HAPPENED OCT 2, 2015. THE RECALL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE HARD BRAKING IS A VERY SUDDEN AND SERIOUS EVENT. IT TAKES THE TRUCK FROM 70 TO 55 OR LESS MPH WITHIN THE TIME IT TAKES ME TO REACT AND HIT THE GAS PEDAL TO STOP THE BRAKING (1 SECOND?). THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW ON MAY 29, 2015. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR THAT NO ONE HAS BEEN CLOSE BEHIND ME WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED. THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED FOR MULTIPLE TYPES OF SEMI TRAILERS, BOX, TANKER, SHINY ALUMINUM, PAINTED WHITE, ETC. ONCE, IT APPEARED TO HAPPEN AS I WENT UNDER AN INTERSTATE OVER PASS (NO VEHICLES WERE ANYWHERE NEAR IN FRONT OF ME AT THE TIME). I HAVE PURCHASED A CAR DVR CAMERA, SPECIFICALLY TO TRACK THIS PROBLEM, AND A PROBLEM WHERE THE CAR VERY FREQUENTLY SAYS TO PUT MY HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL (WHILE THEY ALREADY ARE). THE CAMERA POWER CABLE HAD COME OUT (NO RECORDINGS) ON OCT 1, 2015, SO I DO NOT HAVE A RECORDING OF THE POST-RECALL HARD BRAKING EVENT. THE INTERSTATE HARD BRAKING EVENTS HAPPEN TO ME ABOUT ONCE EVERY 500 MILES (ONE TIME MANY TIMES IN SINGLE DAY). THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES TO BE A SEVERE AND SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY 2015 FORD F150 PLATINUM. THE CONSUMER REFERENCED RECALL # 15V614000. *JB

THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE DID NOT RECUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,500.

TRUCK REAR END BOUNCES AND SHIFTS VIOLENTLY GOING OVER BUMPS AND ON ROUGH ROADS DRIVING OVER 40 MPH. WHEN DRIVING OVER SPEED BUMPS THE TRUCK FEELS AS THOUGH IT HAS BOTTOMED OUT OR THE REAR SHOCKS HAVE FULLY COMPRESSED AND GIVING NO SUPPORT. THESE SYMPTOMS HAPPEN DAILY AND MAKES DRIVING DANGEROUS ON ROUGH ROADS.

LATELY I HAVE BEEN DOING MORE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND I HAVE FOUND WHEN I AM BEHIND A NEW F150 THE RUNNING LIGHTS ARE VERY HARD TO SEE. ALL YOU CAN SEE FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR IS A HINT OF RED A THE BOTTOM AND TOP OF THE LIGHT, UNLESS YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE CAR FROM A SIDE ANGLE THE REAR RUNNING LIGHTS ARE PRETTY MUCH USELESS. I ALMOST HIT A BLACK F150 THE OTHER DAY WHEN IT WAS RAINING HARD, BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE ITS RUNNING LIGHTS. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY WEATHER FORD ADDS A CENTER LIGHT UNDER THE TAILGATE OR RECALLS THESE LENSES FOR SAFETY.
