2015 FORD F-150 Vehicle Speed Control Problems

While driving at normal speeds, the transmission hesitates and pops when shifting into 4th gear. The vehicle slows down unexpectedly before shifting and will suddenly downshift without warning. This causes abrupt deceleration and creates a safety concern, especially at highway speeds. The issue occurs intermittently and without driver input. Even when I’m in normal gears it will downshift and cause me to slow and lose control even when I am not breaking. It occurs at just 35 mph- highway speeds.

I have had 2 instances of my F150 downshifting at highway speeds to 2nd gear while driving. I was not towing a trailer, just driving normally in both cases on my daily commute to work. The first instance was resolved by coming to a stop, shifting to park, and shifting into drive again. The second instance, I released the accelerator completely, shifted the gear selector to neutral and back to drive while coasting and it seemed to correct. Neither have led to loss of control but it is startling and not a great thing for the longevity and safety of my vehicle. I see how it could become a problem. After instance number 1, I thought perhaps it was a fluke. I now have learned that there have been prior model years of this truck transmission that also have had issues and I am more concerned that this get resolved. I now plan to have vehicle looked at by a dealership in the near future. first incident was early September and second incident was Oct. 20, 2025.

gears dropped fast on the highway, rpm's went up because my foot was on gas because I was on the highway, rear end locked up and I skidded going from 60MPH to 30 in a second.

A mechanic confirmed the truck has an issue with the speed sensor. On the daily, the truck will experience shifting issues, gets stuck in 3rd, and will not go past 5th. I have to turn off the vehicle and restart and it resets. I've read this is a known issue, and F150s for model years prior to and after 2015 have been recalled for this same thing. I also believe there are already a significant number of complaints for the 2015 model year for this exact issue. Please issue a recall.

Transmission randomly down shifts and then shifts back up a gear. Then speed control randomly drops and won’t respond

Today, [XXX] while driving at highway speed this vehicle experienced a unrequested transmission downshift, from 6th to 3rd, causing unexpected rapid vehicle deceleration. I was located in the center lane of an Interstate and travelling at 70 mph when this incident happen which force the traffic behind me to take rapid accident avoidance actions. I did not hear any audible or see any visual warnings that this incident was about to happen. This vehicle will be taken to Starling Ford located at 3000 Cheney Hwy, Titusville, Fl 32780 on June 16, 2025.

The transmission jumps gears at any speed, I was researching the topic and saw the NHTSA is probing some F150s for a similar problem. And I was wondering if my vehicle was in the affected line of production.

I noticed in the fall of 2024 that my transmission stared shifting hard between 30-40 mph during acceleration. I had the local Ford dealership check out the issue and they stated I needed a new transmission and included an estimate. I decided to seek information from 2 independent transmission shops and they could not confirm that I needed the transmission replaced at that time. The vehicle has been driving fine and I recently started to notice the hard shift again at 30 mph. Every once in a while, when the hard shift occurs, it seems like I lose power to the drive train and my vehicle slows down to about 15 mph and vehicles need to go around me. It only lasts for a few seconds and then the acceleration will continue to drive normal. I do notice an increase in RPM's from time to time as well while shifting around 30 mph but does not feel like it is slipping. Once through this area of shifting, the vehicle operates normally shifting through other gears. There were no warning lights or other symptoms leading to this issue. I did notice that there was an article posted with a possible transmission issue from this year vehicle that is being investigated concerning sudden down shifting while driving. Here is the article [XXX]. I am wondering if this is part of this issue? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was traveling [XXX] near Liverpool, PA at 60mph, the truck flashed a quick code on the dash and then suddenly downshifted from 6th gear to 1st almost spinning the truck as the rear wheels locked up momentarily. It would not upshift past 3rd gear and had to travel 35 miles home like that. I called my local Ford dealer (Parsons) and they said bring the truck in for diagnostic testing, so I did. Meanwhile I searched the internet to see if others had the issue. Turns out they did, BUT my 2015 with the 6R80 was NOT in the recall notice. Ford said it was the lead frame and needed to be replaced. IF it was a known problem, why not inform owners of these trucks. That said, Ford wanted $1500 to fix it, BUT they did not have the part. So I drove the truck (never with my family in it ever again) after I cleared the code with my reader...again traveling [XXX] @ 75mph it downshifted IN TRAFFIC. Luckily I was in the right lane and made a quick move to the shoulder to avoid being run over. In Carlisle, PA there are hundreds of trucking companies and warehouses, so the truck traffic is very heavy. That was it. I searched out the part, paid for it myself and had a Ford mechanic that does work on the side fix the truck. I have been a loyal Ford guy for over 30 years...I reached out to Ford via telephone, chat and even Facebook. All they say is it is NOT under any recall. Hard to swallow that when I am driving a $75K truck THEY built and they will NOT stand behind a $2K fix. Well goodbye Ford, as a business owner for over 25 years. If I make an error I fix it NO MATTER what. I gave Ford the opportunity to stand behind truck and they did...JUST FAR behind it and passed me as I sit on the shoulder of the road.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH with the cruise control activated, the vehicle independently decelerated while driving next to other vehicles. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where unknown repairs were performed. The vehicle was repaired; however, approximately 7 years after repairs the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken to the same local dealer where unknown repairs were made. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.

[XXX]: check engine light was on and codes P2196 and P2198 were present. The dealer suspected it was the purge valve, causing the problem so they replaced it and reset the codes. 10/10/24: I brought the truck in to have it looked at due to the check engine light being on again. I was told the lead frame needed to be replaced but was on backorder. The bill to diagnose this was 196.80 and I was told I could still drive it. On [XXX], I had to bring my truck in to be inspected because while I was going about 70 mph it all of a sudden downshifted and jerked me forward like it was going to abruptly stop. The check engine light came on and I had to drive pretty slow to avoid a breakdown on the interstate. Very scary to have this happen in interstate traffic It could have easily caused an accident. At this time, It was brought to my attention that the downshifting could also be related to technical bulletin 1495. Since we couldn’t get a real definitive answer on what was going on and the lead frame was on backorder, I decided to try and have the case connector in the bulletin removed and replaced as well as do a transmission tuneup on 10/23/24. This bill cost me $383.77. All codes were cleared and all appeared to be working correctly. On [XXX], I was driving on the interstate at about 70 mph and my truck seized up again and jerked forward, again scaring me and potentially causing an accident. I drove it very slowly directly to a repair shop. It was there until November 7, 2024 after the lead frame was replaced. That bill cost me $1321.68. I decided to file this complaint after I had seen a news article that this downshifting was being investigated for the same year as my 2015 Ford F150 for a safety issue.

It's the same issue as Recall Notice 22S02/NHTSA Recall 22v011. The replacement part is MR3Z-7583-A 1X ($2-$5 part with 30 second install), but they do not show it under parts for my truck, they would prefer to sell me the whole brake pedal assembly ($50+ part and labor probably diagnosis charge in addition to part replacement). The part becomes brittle and breaks. This caused dead battery, 5 hours from home, due to lights staying on, allowed me to start and put truck into gear without touching the brake, lost acceleration between 45 & 50 mph, cruise control would not turn on and message presents that hill assist is not available.

I was driving at 65 mph when my 2015 F150 shifted into 1st gear. I started skidding sideways and almost flipped but was able to run through the gears quickly and got it into Neutral. This has happened a few other times since the initial incident. I constantly receive codes related to lead frame assembly issue: P0720, P0721, P0722, P161B, etc. I am in desperate need of a new lead frame assembly so my vehicle does not crash on the highway. Thanks!

The Lead Frame in my truck went bad. I was driving on the highway doing 70mph, the truck downshifted to 5th and I lost control of what gear I was in. When I came to a stop the truck was still in 5th gear and it died. I was unable to restart the truck and had to get it towed.

i was driving on the highway at 50MPH in 5th gear. the truck goes in neutral on its own and then 1st gear for about two seconds and then back to 5th gear. the ground was wet and the rear tires skid. i believe that's what prevented the tires locking up and getting out of control it was a very scary situation that could have ended very bad.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Transmission lead frame - error P072 - traveling on the interstate at 65mph and transmission downshifted in 1st gear nearly causing the car behind me to rear-end me. Lucky i wasnt killed or serioiusly hurt. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? yes Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? yes Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others?yes Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? no

6/25/24 I PUT MY 2015 F150 IN REVERSE AND GAVE IT JUST A LITTLE ACCELERATION AND IT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED FAST CROSSING THE STREET AND HITTING A UTILITY POLE TOTALING MY TRUCK. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON A FORD FORUM AN SAW WHERE OTHE PEOPLE HAD HAD RAPID UNEXPLAINED ACCERATION.ONE PERSON SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF A FAULTY ACCELERATO PEDAL POSITON ALSO KNOWN AS APP. MY SAFETY AND ANYONE WALKING OR DRIVING BY MY HOUSE WERE GREATLY PUT AT RISK. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN REPRODUCED OR CONFIRMED BY ANYONE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LAMPS OR MESSAGES. THIS NIGHTMARE CAME OUT OF NOWHERE.

I am driving back to Florida on [XXX] and my engine light comes on and the wrench symbol on my dash, as I am going about 70 mph and accelerate suddenly my truck going from gear/speed 6 down to 5. I take my foot off the accelerate and it goes back to speed /gear 6. If i stay at one speed and do not accelerate its ok, the minute I accelerate it changes speed. I took it into the Ford Dealer in Daytona Beach, and they are fixing the problem, but I don't have all the details. I am wondering if this is related to your recall to the 2014 F-150 where the problem is exactly like mine. I have not gotten the truck back, only that it is costing around $2400.

The 2015 F150 shifted itself from drive at 60mph to 1st gear. I as leading traffic when this occurred. The rest of traffic went around me as, I went to shoulder of rd. The F150 shuttered and was unable to be steered safely off the road. Warning lights flashed but as a driver I was unable to watch as traffic behind me was more important then watching F150. As a Simi was also close to me. This was a very scary event! As my husband was with me and is [XXX] he doesn't drive. Smoke came from under the vehicle. I see this is a common accurate with the F series of 2014. I would suggest checking the 2015. We have since had it fixed and it now drives better. I noticed a marked difference, from when I purchased it a few mos. Earlier. Seriously it could have been a wreck. Strong driving instinct is what saved us this time.

In 2022, while behind the wheel of my 2015 F150, I would be driving down the highway (70+ mph) and the transmission would suddenly downshift to 1st gear, then jump to 3rd, and then back down to first gear, all over the place. This happened on several occasions. It was erratic, I experienced sudden changes in speed, sudden and frightening revving of the engine (especially on the highway) and on several occasions I had to make sudden changes to my driving to ensure my safety as well as the safety of others on the road. After I was able to pull over and turn my truck off, the truck would either not turn back on or take a while to be able to turn on. I had no warning that the transmission was about to shift gears and only noticed a check engine light after the incident had occurred. After taking my truck to a transmission shop and they did not find an issue with the transmission (it worked correctly while they test drove it), I took it to a Ford Dealership where I was told there was a fault with the CAM Shaft sensors. After a $3,000 repair to fix the issue, I recently found Ford has Recalled 2014 F-150s for issues that sound identical to what I was experiencing in my 2015 F-150.

Vehicle speedometer working it radically

During normal highway driving, the vehicle abruptly went into "limp mode" with a complete loss of throttle control. The engine remained running, but I was unable to increase the speed of the vehicle. Once stopped, the vehicle showed several alerts on the dashboard: "Service Advancetrac," "Hill Assist Not Available," and "See Owners Manual." I was able to scan for fault codes and returned DTC P2112: Throttle Actuator Control System Stuck Closed. Upon further research, there is a Ford Technical Service Bulletin # TSB 16-0193 which states the vehicle may exhibit an intermittent loss of power and/or an illuminated powertrain malfunction (wrench) lamp with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P2111, P2112 and/or P2119 stored in powertrain control module (PCM) memory." After restarting the vehicle, it returned to normal operation with the dashboard errors remaining. A Ford dealer is scheduled to look at the vehicle. I have been told they expect to diagnose and replace a faulty Electronic Throttle Body. Losing complete throttle control while driving on a busy highway is dangerous for many obvious reasons.

No lights previous to incident. Sudden engine & speed malfunction . Yes, it happened multiple times heading to the ford dealer-2 mi away. We kept the hazard lights on. Sudden loss of power while driving, engine goes into limp mode, down hill assist light and altrack light comes on. Truck restarts but again limps unexpectedly. Took it to dealer -it was the throttle body that had been replaced 3 1/2 years ago by dealer.

accelator stuck to the floor a couple of times when gassing it to pass other cars on the roads. The pedal would actually will stay pressed down even when my foot is off the pedal, it will speed the truck up even when pressing down hard on the brakes. when i got it to stop and cut the truck off while in park and turning the key the rpms were going absouletely nuts. looking to see if this is a common occurance. thanks in advance!

The contact owns a 2015 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at low speeds and attempting to park the vehicle, the vehicle inadvertently went into reverse, then accelerated forward.

While driving at posted speeds on open highway and in congested work zones, this F-150 experienced an Electronic Throttle Body failure 5 times between Rochester Hills, MI and Granger, IN on 9/13/2022. It happened again on 9/14/2022 in city two way traffic with no shoulder. In each incident, the vehicle went into limp mode with rough idle and had to be completely stopped, turned off and restarted in high traffic, hazardous stopping locations. This happened once before in the mountains in Utah, in a construction zone back on 5/02/2021. At that time, the check engine light did not stay on and Ford was unable to find a code. It did not happen again until 9/13/2022. These incidents put me and my family in danger with each episode. Ford is fully aware of this issue, has in the past and should notify owners of the potential issue and continue to make repairs available as a recall or extended warranty service issue.

I was driving down the road like I always do, the cruise control just shut off. I tried to re-engage it and it would not respond, about 15 minutes later I engaged the cruise control successfully. This has happened numerous times over the last three weeks and now in order to engage the cruise control, I lift with my fingertips, the top left and the bottom left of the button and then it will engage. One occasion, the dash lights in trip 1 mode flashed. Then the control began working again.

ON JULY 24, 2020 WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 291 DRIVING 45-50MPH WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION. I THOUGHT I WAS REAR ENDED. SIMULTANEOUSLY THE REAR TIRES LOCKED UP WHILE APPROACHING A WORK ZONE. I SKIDDED UNCONTROLLABLY FOR APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET. ULTIMATELY CAME TO REST ON THE SHOULDER. AS MY FAMILY AND I EXITED THE VEHICLE THERE WAS HEAVY SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR AND UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WE THOUGHT THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. THE STATE POLICE ARRIVED ON THE SCENE WITHIN 5 MINUTES UPON US EXITING THE VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR SO THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE FLAT BEDDED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP, MARCOTTE FORD, HOLYOKE MA. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THE REAR END FAILED AND LOCKED UP. UPON THEIR TEST DRIVE I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A TOTAL FAILURE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID THEY HAD TO WAIT FOR A DECISION FROM FORD TO EITHER REBUILD OR REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. AUGUST 19, 2020 I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT AND THAT I COULD PICK UP THE VEHICLE. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY PRIOR PHONE CALLS FROM THEM TO INFORM ME OF WHAT WAS GOING TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. .

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.

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.

WHILE TRYING TO PASS A DUMP TRUCK ON THE INTERSTATE WITH ADAPTIVE CRUISE ON, VEHICLE SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, AND CAUSING THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME TO SLAM ON THEIRS TO AVOID HITTING ME.. I NOTICED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS BEFORE IN 2015, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE OF THIS.. IT IS A VERY SERIOUS ROAD HAZARD!!

VEHICLE ACCELERATED OF ITS OWN ACCORD DRIVING STRAIGHT ON HIGHWAY. TOOK TO DEALER (VILLAGE FORD, OCALA, FL), THEY RAN BLACK BOX AND DID WARRANTY WORK. A FEW WEEKS LATER, VEHICLE ACCELERATED AGAIN OF ITS OWN ACCORD WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. VEHICLE COLLIDED INTO A TREE.

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

Mileage: 65,000

WHILE ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE TO GET TO 55 MPH THE ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST THROTTLE RESPONSE AND BEGAN TO RUN ROUGH. SIMULTANEOUSLY THE DASH FLASHED THAT UPHILL ASSIST WAS DEACTIVATED AND FLASHED THE MAINTENANCE WRENCH. UPON PULLING THE VEHICLE OVER AND SHUTTING IT OFF AND RESTARTING IT THE VEHICLE RAN NORMALLY. THE FREQUENCY OF THIS INCREASED FROM ONCE EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS TO NOW UP TO 5 TIMES IN 10 MILES. WHEN IT CAUSES AN OBD CODE IT IS P2112. IT OCCURS MOST FREQUENTLY WHILE ACCELERATING TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT HAS ALSO OCCURRED WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND ACCELERATING TO VILLAGE SPEEDS OF 30 MPH. IT HAS EVEN OCCURRED ONCE WHILE USING CRUISE CONTROL AS THE VEHICLE WAS CLIMBING A HILL. AT THIS TIME IT IS UNKNOWN WHAT IS CAUSING THE FAULT. AN ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. A NEW THROTTLE BODY IS ON ORDER BUT HAS TO BE INSTALLED YET TO SEE IF IT CORRECTS THE ISSUE.

I PICKED UP MY 2015 FORD F150 ON THURSDAY OF LAST WEEK BECAUSE THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING AND CAUSED MY WIFE TO LOSE HER BRAKES WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I DROVE MY TRUCK TO OUR FAMILY REUNION ABOUT AN HOUR AND HALF AWAY ON SATURDAY WHICH WAS 2 DAYS AFTER I HAD PICKED MY TRUCK UP AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT SHUT OFF BY TAPING THE BRAKE. MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AND I WAS IN THE SLOW LANE WITH THE CRUISE SET AT 72MPH. I WAS APPROACHING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, SO I LOOKED IN MY LEFT MIRROR AND NOTICED A CAR COMING UP BESIDE ME. I WAS UNABLE TO PASS, SO I TOUCHED THE BRAKES TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL AND I LOOKED BACK IN MY MIRROR AGAIN TO SEE IF THE CAR BESIDE ME WAS GOING TO PASS ME SOON. MY WIFE THEN SAID WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I TOLD HER I AM GOING TO PASS THIS CAR IN FRONT OF US AFTER THE CAR BESIDE ME PASSED US. SHE THEN SAID WELL YOU BETTER SLOW DOWN BECAUSE YOU ARE ABOUT TO HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. HERE MY CRUISE CONTROL NEVER DISENGAGED SO I TOUCHED THE BRAKES 2 MORE TIMES AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I FINALLY HAD TO SLAM ON THE BREAKS AND IT FINALLY DISENGAGED. I HAD ALMOST REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. I THEN GOT INTO THE FAST LANE AND PLACED THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AGAIN AND FOUND OUT THAT I WAS UNABLE TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE CONTROL BY TAPPING THE BRAKES LIKE YOU SHOULD. I HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL 2/3 OF THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHICH AT THIS POINT YOU ARE STOPPING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS THE THIRD SAFETY ISSUE IN LESS THAN 1 YEAR THAT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND THAT IT HAS BEEN TOWED TO FORD. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT FORD. DEC 2018 THROTTLE BODY WENT BAD AND SHUT OFF WITH MY WIFE DRIVING MY TRUCK, SEPT 2019 MASTER CYLINDER WENT BAD AND CAUSED MY WIFE TO LOSE THE BRAKES WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, AND SEPT 2019 CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING PROPERLY ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE CONTACT'S FOOT TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED MANY TIMES AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL WITHOUT ALSO DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CONTACT DROVE TO GERMAIN FORD (2356 HELLER DR, BEAVERCREEK, OH 45434, (937) 429-1300) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ISSUE WAS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

ALERT - ALERT I WROTE BEFORE ABOUT TROUBLE WITH THE 2015 FORD F150 STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING. I MECHANIC TOOK OURS OUT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND IT DID THE SAME FOR HIM ON THE INTERSTATE. PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES OR HAS SEVERE INJURIES DUE TO VEHICLE STALLING AT RANDOM AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I AM JUST GLAD HE WASN'T PASSING ON A 2 LANE ROAD OR PULLING A TRAILER. I CAN'T BELIEVE FORD HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS - IT'S ON YOU TUBE. THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF SPEEDING UP - IMAGINE YOU HAVE YOUR KIDS, ETC IN THE TRUCK, IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR INTERSTATE WITH CARS ALL AROUND YOU AND YOU STALL OUT COMPLETELY. PLEASE, PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. IT ONLY HAPPENS IN MOTION.

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.

WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, PUT IT IN DRIVE, THE TRUCK WENT TO FULL THROTTLE ON ITS OWN WITHOUT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR, AND IT TOOK OFF AT AN EXCESSIVE SPEED. I TRIED BRAKING, BUT IT JUST THREW ME INTO A POWER SLIDE. SO, ONCE I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN THE CAR WITHOUT FLIPPING IT, I COULD TURN LOOSE WITH ONE HAND AND KILL THE ENGINE. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY IT WOULD STOP. I WAS FORCED TO GO THROUGH THE YARD WITH THINGS FLYING OUT OF THE BED OF THE TRUCK RUINING A 5 GALLON CAN OF PAINT WE HAD MIXED TO PAINT THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSE.

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 NOT CONFIDENT REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY WAS A FIX AS IT IS A BANDAGE TO HAPPEN AGAIN AT ANY POINT IN TIME.

WHILE USING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ON MY 2015 FORD F-150 (KING RANCH), MY TRUCK WILL CONFUSE A DUMP TRUCK AS A STOPPED OR SLOW MOVING VEHICLE IN FRONT OF MY TRUCK. THIS WILL HAPPEN IF A DUMP TRUCK IS IN THE LANE BESIDE ME OR IN OPPOSING LANES. THIS OCCURS AT SOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. MULTIPLE TIMES THIS HAS OCCURRED AT 65MPH+ IN TRAFFIC. THE TRUCK WILL VERY ABRUPTLY APPLY THE BREAKS AND THE COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM WILL ALERT. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED VERY SERIOUS WRECKS DUE TO THE SPEEDS THAT IT OFTEN OCCURS. THIS IS ALSO NOT A SELDOM OCCURANCE, IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I PASS BY A DUMP TRUCK. IT WILL OCCUR ON ANY AND EVERY STREET. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DELEARSHIP AND THEIR SOLUTION HAD NO EFFECT ON THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, IT OPERATED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SENSOR AND BRAKING ACTIVATE IN ERROR WHEN THERE IS A LARGE TRUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WILL HARD BRAKES AS IT THINKS THE CAR IN FRONT HAS STOPPED WHEN THERE IS NO CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. IT IS FALSELY SEEING THE TRUCK IN THE OTHER LANE TO YOUR SIDE. I HAD IT INTO FORD FOR ANOTHER ISSUE AND TOLD THEM. THEY SAID THERE WAS "AN UPDATE" BUT IT IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLE SLAMS ON THE BRAKES BY ITSELF ALMOST CAUSING CARS BEHIND YOU TO HIT YOU. THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HARD BRAKE DUE TO A TRUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE CAR!. JUST TODAY MY CAR DID IT TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY. ONCE THIS MORNING AND AGAIN ON THE DRIVE HOME. I AM DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, CLEAR DAY, I'M IN MY LANE AND PASSING A SLOWER TRUCK ON MY RIGHT AND THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE BRAKING SLAMS ON THE BRAKES. IT IS INTERMITTENT AND I'M NOT SURE WHY ITS REACTING TO A LARGE TRUCK THAT IS NOT IN FRONT OF ME. WHILE IT DIDN'T RESULT IN A "CRASH" IT COULD HAVE IF THE PERSON BEHIND ME HADN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION. THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT!!

MULTIPLE INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED WHERE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL APPLIES HARD DECELERATION TO THE VEHICLE WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT WARNING OR WITHOUT AN OBJECT IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. APPROX TRAVEL SPEED HAS BEEN 65MPH AND VEHICLE COLLISION WARNING COMES ON AND INSTANTLY BRAKES CAUSING A 10MPH OR MORE DECELERATION. IT HAS HAPPENED ON CURVES OR WHEN DRIVING NEAR A TRUCK. RECENT INCIDENT WAS MOVING FROM RIGHT LANE TO THE LEFT LANE OF A HIGHWAY TO PASS A TRUCK AND ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS FOLLOWING MINE. AS I APPROACHED THE TRACTOR PORTION OF THE TRACTOR/TRAILER, MY TRUCK BRAKED HARD AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME NEARLY CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE. THE OTHER DRIVER WASN'T EXPECTING ME TO BRAKE WHILE PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE TO ITS LEFT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND THEY ADMITTED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE SYSTEM AND THAT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT THEY HAD NO PLANS TO FIX/RECALL THE ISSUE. QUESTION - HOW MANY REAR IMPACT ACCIDENTS/INCIDENTS/POTENTIAL INCIDENTS WILL IT TAKE FOR FORD TO ADDRESS THIS SERIOUS UNANNOUNCED BRAKING ISSUE. IT IS VERY UNNERVING TO BE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND THEN TO BE THROWN FORWARD FOR NO REASON BECAUSE YOUR VEHICLE BRAKES. FORD DID ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM AND YET DOES NOT WISH TO ADDRESS IT LIKELY UNTIL THERE IS DEATH TO LAWSUIT AFTER WHICH IT WILL HAVE BEEN TOO LATE FOR SOMEONE. PLEASE EXERT WHATEVER PRESSURE YOU CAN TO GET VERIFICATION FROM FORD AND HAVE THEM ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WITH A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. THANK YOU.

I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT SAFETY CONCERN ON FORD F-150 INTAKE THROTTLE FAILURES. I BELIEVE THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PART FOR A DIFFERENT S/N RANGE OF FORD F-150. THIS VIN WAS NOT IN THE LIST. WHEN THIS FAILS, YOU LOSE ALL POWER AND TRUCK GOES INTO NEUTRAL. WAS TOWING LOADED TRAILER IN 4 LANES OF HIGH SPEED INTERSTATE CITY DRIVING. ALMOST WAS IN SERIOUS ACCIDENT. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE DID NOTHING OR INDICATE THAT THEY WERE GOING TO LOOK AT S/N RANGE IMPACTED. I AM A CHIEF ENGINEER AT CATERPILLAR. I UNDERSTAND THE BUSINESS OF EFFECTIVE S/N AND WHAT IS INCLUDED IN MANDATORY RECALLS. THEIR LACK OF ACTION IS A CONCERN.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 FORD F-150 PICKUP TRUCK AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS OF 5 TO 70 MPH THE VEHICLES THROTTLE BECOMES INOPERABLE. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN AT A LOW IDLE HOWEVER IT IS A VERY ROUGH IDLE AS IF THE ENGINE HAS A SEVERE IGNITION MISFIRE CONDITION. FURTHERMORE, THE DASH STARTS TO CYCLE THROUGH MULTIPLE FAULT/TROUBLE DISPLAYS. THESE INCLUDE "HILL DESCENT CONTROL FAULT", "SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK", "SEE MANUAL (W/ WRENCH SYMBOL)"; ALSO THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED. WHEN THIS OCCURS I HAVE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY OR BUSY CITY STREET BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. ONCE STOPPED, WITH EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON, I HAVE TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. IN SOME INSTANCES I'VE HAD TO RESTART THE VEHICLE MORE THAN ONCE TO SUCCESSFULLY ACHIEVE A SMOOTH RUNNING ENGINE. I MUST THEN PRESS THE "OK" BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO STOP THE DASH FROM DISPLAYING THE FAULT/TROUBLE MESSAGES. I CAN THEN DRIVE ON WITH AN OPERABLE THROTTLE AND PROPERLY RUNNING ENGINE. THIS CONDITION HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WITHOUT WARNING AND PRESENTS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION!

WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO THE FREEWAY FROM THE ON-RAMP, ALL THROTTLE CONTROL WENT AWAY AND THE TRUCK STARTED DECELERATING ALONG WITH WARNING LAMPS TURNING ON THE DRIVER DISPLAY PANEL. STEEP HILL DESCENT FAULT, SENSORTRAC FAULT. HAD TO PULL COAST OVER TO THE SHOULDER UNDER ROUGH IDLE AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE IGNITION. AFTER CYCLING THE IGNITION, THE THROTTLE CONTROL CAME BACK. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES NOW DURING THE LAST WEEK OR SO. AFTER A GOOGLE SEARCH ONLINE, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON OCCURANCE WITH FORD F-150'S AND SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY CONTROLLER.

WHEN USING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) AND PASSING ALONGSIDE A SEMI-TRUCK IN THE LEFT LANE, THE SYSTEM MISTAKENLY DETECTS SOMETHING THAT CAUSES IT TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND SET OFF THE CRASH WARNING SYSTEM. A COUPLE OF SECONDS LATER IT ACCELERATED BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL SPEED SETTING. BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO 2 FORD DEALERSHIPS AND 1 JUST SET THE SENSITIVITY LEVEL TO LOW AND THE OTHER ONE DID AN UPDATE TO THE CONTROL MODULE. NEITHER OF THESE HAS WORKED AND THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO DO THIS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO OTHER DIRECTION FROM FORD ON HOW TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER A DOZEN TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE AND IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS WILL CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE VEHICLES FOLLOWING BEHIND ME ALONGSIDE A SEMI.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE, 15S29, TO REPROGRAM MY F-150'S CONTROL SYSTEM TO CORRECT AN ADAPTIVE CRUSE CONTROL ISSUE. I HAD THIS RECALL WORK PERFORMED BY MY FORD DEALERSHIP IN MARCH, 2017. I WAS ON A ROAD TRIP THIS WEEK (4-4-2017) AND WAS TRAVELING ON THE I-35 INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH PASSING A SEMI. ABOUT HALF WAY PASSED THE SEMI THE BRAKES WERE SUDDENLY APPLIED AND THE WARNING FLASHER (ON THE WINDSHIELD) ACTIVATED. I THOUGHT THIS WAS FIXED!! THANKFULLY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME WAS ABLE TO BRAKE TO AVOID A REAR COLLISION. IS THERE STILL AN ISSUE WITH THIS? IF SO WHEN WILL IT BE FIXED?

Mileage: 11,200

THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME I'M REPORTING THIS. ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE QUALIFIED FOR FORD'S RECALL 15S29, I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. BUT I HAVE MENTIONED IT TO MY DEALER 3 OR 4 DIFFERENT TIMES. THEY ALWAYS TELL ME THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. SO HERE'S THE ISSUE. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY TRUCK THINKS I'M GOING TO HIT SOMETHING AND THE ALERT LIGHTS AND SOUNDS COME ON (AND ONCE SINCE I HAD ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ON, IT APPLIED THE BRAKES AT 70 MPH). THIS IS NOT SAFE. THE DEALERSHIPS SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX MY TRUCK, YET THE ISSUE KEEPS HAPPENING.

THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE PROBLEM.

Mileage: 24,500

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PERIODICALLY DETECTS A TRUCK IN THE RIGHT AS BEING IN FRONT OF ME. IT ACTIVATES THE BRAKES TO AVOID A ASSUMED COLLISION EVEN THOUGH THE LANE IS CLEAR AHEAD. THE BRAKES HAVE, ON OCCASION, BE APPLIED AUTOMATICALLY IN A VERY STRONG MANNER. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS CONDITION CAN LEAD TO SOMEONE REAR ENDING MY TRUCK. THE DEALER COULD NOT CONFIRM ANY ISSUES, HOWEVER IT HAS HAPPENED OWN OCCASION SINCE NEW.

Mileage: 31,000

THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WAS UPDATED WHEN THE RECALL WAS ISSUED BUT STILL EXHIBITS THE PROBLEM OF SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES WHEN PASSING A SEMI. THE PROBLEM IS ACTUALLY GETTING WORSE, AND HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY. IT NOW HAPPENS WHEN GOING UNDER A BRIDGE. I HAVE HAD IT TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS AND CONTACTED FORD AND THEY ALL TELL ME THAT THERE ARE NO COMPUTER ERROR CODES THEREFORE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. THEY ALSO TELL ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL BECAUSE I ALREADY HAD THE RECALL SERVICE PERFORMED. THIS TRUCK IS NOT SAFE, IT WILL KILL ME OR WHOEVER IS UNLUCKY ENOUGH TO BE FOLLOWING ME. FORD DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALREADY PERFORMED THE RECALL SERVICE.

ON FRIDAY 10/28 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 55 MILES/HOUR AT APPROXIMATELY 6:30PM WITH VEHICLES AHEAD OF AND BEHIND MY TRUCK, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO GIVE A NUMBER OF CHECK ENGINE ALERTS, AT WHICH TIME THE ENGINE RPMS DROPPED TO VERY LOW LEVELS AND BEGAN TO STALL AND THE ACCELERATOR NO LONGER RESPONDED. HAD TRUCK TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP WITHIN THE HOUR. I WAS VERY LUCKY IN THIS SITUATION, FOR HAD I BEEN IN A CONSTRUCTION AREA OR ON A BRIDGE, THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. THIS SAME SITUATION OCCURRED ON THE EVENING OF 10/2 WHILE DRIVING 40MPH DOWN A STATE ROAD NEAR MY HOME AND ACCORDING TO THE DEALER WHO ATTENDED TO THE ISSUE, THE BRAKE MODULE HAD FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE SYMPTOMS TO ARISE. IN THAT INSTANCE, THE ACCELERATE FAILED TO RESPOND AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STALL, WHICH IT DID WHEN I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THEY REPLACED THE MODULE A FEW DAYS LATER. IN ADDITION, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR VIBRATES AND DOES NOT LATCH PROPERLY. TWO DEALERS HAVE FAILED TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE TO DATE AND I BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT HAS LARGELY BEEN DISMISSED BY THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS AND DEALERSHIPS INVOLVED. DESPITE NUMEROUS DOCUMENTED ATTEMPTS TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY HAVE IGNORED THIS CONCERN, HAVE FAILED TO RESPOND TO ME IN A TIMELY MANNER, AND DECLINED A BUYBACK REQUEST. I AM SUBMITTING LEMON LAW DOCUMENTATION FOR THE VEHICLE DURING THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 31. I HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON RENTAL VEHICLES DURING ATTEMPTED REPAIRS TO THE DOORS AND THE BRAKE MODULE SINCE FORD CLAIMS THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF RENTAL VEHICLES DURING WARRANTY REPAIRS. REPAIR DOCUMENTATION ATTACHED PERTAINS TO REPAIRS FOR 10/2 OCCURRENCE SINCE THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT YET HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS DROPPED OFF YESTERDAY EVENING. I WILL GLADLY PROVIDE INFO ONCE RECEIVED.

THEN AFTER A SECOND (PROBABLY WAS ONLY A SPLIT-SECOND, BUT IT FELT LIKE FOREVER), IT WENT AWAY. IF ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD HAVE BEEN ENABLED, THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE BRAKES TO AUTOMATICALLY PRESS (I KNOW BECAUSE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE). THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE (SENSORS THINKING THEY ARE GOING TO HIT SOMETHING, WHEN IT SHOULD BE NOTHING). I WISH I HAD A VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING, BUT IT ONLY HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES FOR AT MOST 3 SECONDS IN THE THE 1.5 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE.

WITHOUT WARNING OR CAUSE THE COLLISION CONTROL SYSTEM FULLY DEPLOYED TO INCLUDE HARD BRAKING, WINDSHIELD WARNING LIGHTS, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING, AND AUDIBLE WARNING. RESULT IS THAT THE VEHICLE DRAMATICALLY SLOWS VERY QUICKLY CREATING A POTENTIALLY MAJOR PROBLEM IF THERE WERE VEHICLES FOLLOWING CLOSELY BEHIND. THIS IN ADDITION TO THE SUDDEN NATURE OF THE WARNING AND VEHICLE "TAKE OVER" BY THE SYSTEM COULD CAUSE MOMENTARY DRIVER PANIC! DEALER HAS STATED A WILLINGNESS TO WORK ON THE VEHICLE AGAIN, BUT SAYS THEY CAN ONLY RE-DO WHAT THEY HAVE ALREADY DONE MULTIPLE TIMES.

MY GIRLFRIEND AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON A SUNNY DAY AT AROUND 70 MPH. I WAS USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL. THERE WERE OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD, BUT NONE WITHIN DISTANCE TO AFFECT MY SPEED/CRUISE CONTROL (THEY WERE ALL WAY AHEAD OR BEHIND). ALL OF A SUDDEN, FOR ABOUT A HALF SECOND, MY TRUCK FLASHED THE WARNING LIGHT AND SOUND AS IF I WAS GOING TO HIT SOMETHING, AND IT AUTOMATICALLY PRESSED THE BRAKE FOR ME. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. THEN IT CAME OUT OF THE WARNING AND WE CONTINUED ON OUR WAY (WE WERE IN A BIT OF SHOCK). I OF COURSE TURNED OFF THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SO THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER MY COMPLETE CONTROL. THINKING BACK, I'M WONDERING IF THE SHADOW FROM AN OVERPASS CAUSED MY TRUCK TO THINK THERE WAS A VEHICLE CLOSE AND AN IMPENDING CRASH. EITHER WAY, IT WAS VERY UNSAFE, AND I'M HOPING IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN TO ME, OR ANYONE ELSE.

JAN. 13, 2016 WHILE TRAVELING SOUTH ON ROUTE 17, IN NORTH CAROLINA TOWARDS RALEIGH, THE SIPPED LIMIT WAS 70 MPH. I LOOKED DOWN AND NOTICED I WAS MOVING AT 80 MPH, BASED ON THE DASH SPEEDOMETER. WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL, THE TRUCK SLOWED DOWN BUT THE SPEEDOMETER REMAINED AT 80 MPH. I CHANGED MY DIGITAL SETTING FROM FUEL ECONOMY TO DIGITAL MPH AND NOTICED THIS MODE SEEMED TO BE ACCURATE, HOWEVER THE DASH SPEEDOMETER REMAINED AT 80 MPH. MY WIFE TOOK A VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM WITH HER PHONE. BY THE TIME WE ARRIVED IN RALEIGH, NC, THE DASH MOUNTED SPEEDOMETER WAS CLOSE TO 100 MPH. WE PARKED FOR SEVERAL HOURS WHILE ATTENDING A MEETING WITH THE SENATOR. ON THE WAY HOME AND HEADING BACK NORTH ON ROUTE 17, THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED DROPPING BACK. BY THE TIME WE GOT HOME, THE SPEEDOMETER WAS ONLY OFF BY APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH COMPARED TO THE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER. PARKED THE TRUCK IN THE GARAGE OVER NIGHT.

WHEN USING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, AND WHEN PASSING LARGE TRUCKS, THE F-150 SUDDENLY BRAKES AS IF IT WERE ABOUT TO CRASH, YET THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED 6 TIMES AT FULL HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN PASSING BIG TRUCKS THAT ARE IN IN RIGHT LANE. IT IS A LITTLE SCARY IF SOMEONE IS TAILGATING - THE GOOD PART IS THAT USING THE ACCELERATOR WILL STOP THE BRAKING. I TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY WERE CLUELESS. I'VE ONLY HAD TRUCK 30 DAYS.

I PREVIOUSLY REPORTED THAT MY VEHICLE HAD REPEATED EXPERIENCED IMPROPER ACTIVATION OF THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (AND SOMETIME COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM) AND SUDDEN BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN PASSING CERTAIN LARGE TRUCKS. RECENTLY FORD NOTIFIED ME OF THEIR (SAFTEY RECALL) FIELD SERVICE ACTION NUMBER: 15S29 AND ON 5 NOVEMBER 2015 I TOOK MY TRUCK TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER WHERE THEY PERFORMED THE WORK FOR RECALL 15S29. I TOOK MY FIRST INTERSTATE TRIP FOLLOWING THE REPAIR ON 9 NOVEMBER, A TOTAL DISTANCE OF 74 MILES, DURING THIS TRIP THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AGAIN ACTIVATED MY BRAKES ONE TIME UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE PASSING A LARGE TRUCK. THE SAFETY RECALL REPAIR HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK.

Mileage: 14,000

THE TRUCK'S ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM WOULD BRAKE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAD THE ISSUED SAFETY RECALL PERFORMED ON THE TRUCK NOV 2, 2015. THE DEALERSHIP REPORT SAID THAT THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED AND WORKING PROPERLY. THAT EVENING THE TRUCK AGAIN STARTED BREAKING FOR NO REASON. I HAD INSTALLED A DASH CAM THE SATURDAY PRIOR TO THE RECALL REPAIR. I HAVE VIDEO FOOTAGE OF WHAT WAS GOING ON IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK THAT CAUSED IT TO APPLY THE BREAKS. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 51MPH, THE 2 DISTANCE SPACING, AND THE TRUCK SLOWED IT SELF DOWN TO 39 MPH THEN SPED BACK UP AGAIN. I KNOW I CANNOT ATTACH A VIDEO TO THIS REPORT, BUT I AM HAVE IT AVAILABLE TO EMAIL.

Mileage: 15,180

WHEN USING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, AND WHEN PASSING LARGE TRUCKS, THE F-150 SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING BRAKES AS IF IT WERE ABOUT TO CRASH, YET THERE IS NOTHING IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES AT FULL HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN PASSING LARGER VEHICLES IN AN INSIDE LANE OF INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS. THIS SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED BRAKING HAS ALMOST CAUSED THREE ACCIDENTS AND VERY NEARLY CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

Mileage: 4,500

WHEN PASSING A SEMI TRUCK ON THE LEFT (SEMI IS TO THE RIGHT OF ME) USING THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION, THE TRUCK SLAMMED ON ITS BRAKES AND SAID COLLISION WARNING. CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR ENDED ME. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY LIKE 6 TIMES IN 3 MONTHS AND ONLY HAPPENS WHEN PASSING A LARGE SEMI AND THE SEMI IS TO MY RIGHT. ONLY HAPPENS IN DAY TIME AND EVEN THEN, ONLY SOMETIMES HAPPENS.

WHEN PASSING A LARGE TRUCK ON A 4 LANE ROAD, ADAPTIVE CRUSE DETECTED A COLLISION AND APPLIED FULL BRAKING. THIS OCCURRED AS I WAS IN THE TRUCKS FULL SHADOW. AGAIN LAST WEEK WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND PASSING A SEMI, MY VEHICLE DETECTED A COLLISION AND APPLIED FULL BRAKING, AGAIN WHILE IN THE SEMI'S SHADOW.

Mileage: 1,400

ADAPTIVE CUISSE CONTROL FALSELY DETECTS POTENTIAL COLLISION WHEN PASSING SEMITRUCK (18-WHEELER) ON INTERSTATE/FREEWAY HIGHWAYS AS SPEED OF 70MHP. THE BRAKES ARE AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED AND COLLISION WARNING MESSAGE GOES OFF IN THE DASHBOARD CENTER SCREEN. THIS HAPPENS VERY FREQUENTLY WHEN PASSING SEMITRUCK, TO THE POINT THAT I EITHER DISABLE THE CRUISE OR GET READY TO PUNCH THE ACCELERATOR IN ORDER TO PREVENT A REAR-END ACCIDENT IN CASE SOMEONE BEHIND ME.

Mileage: 2,000

WHILE THE CRUISE IS SET AND TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE, IN THIS CASE 70MPH, WHEN I PASS AN 18 WHEELER THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SENSES AN IMMINENT COLLISION WHILE PASSING THE 18 WHEELER IN THE LEFT TRAVEL LANE. THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE IMMEDIATELY ALERTS AND ENGAGES THE BRAKES. FORTUNATELY, THIS HAS NOT YET RESULTED IN A REAR END COLLISION IN MY CASE HOWEVER I'M SURE AT SOME POINT IT WILL WITH OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE I PURCHASED THE F150 IN JANUARY(2015) AND BOTH OCCURRENCES HAPPENED WHILE PASSING A TANKER TRUCK SPECIFICALLY AND WHILE IN THE LEFT LANE- TANKER TRUCK WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE TRAVELING AT A SLOWER SPEED PERHAPS AROUND 60-65MPH. THIS DEFECT TO ME APPEARS TO BE VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF MY F150 ENGAGES THE BRAKES FOR NO REASON AND THERE WERE TO BE CARS BEHIND ME A REAR END ACCIDENT COULD LIKELY OCCUR ON THE INTERSTATE. FORD HAS BEEN VERY SLOW IN RESPONDING TO THIS SAFETY CONCERN AND HAS NOT CAME UP WITH A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. MANY ON INTERNET ARE VOICING CONCERN HOWEVER ARE TOLD BY DEALERS THAT THE SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED AND SENT ON THEIR WAY.

Mileage: 1,000

THE TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND COLLISION ALERT SYSTEMS. INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN TRAVELING AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS WITH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED AND PASSING TRACTOR-TRAILER SIZED VEHICLES, THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WILL FALSELY SENSE ANOTHER VEHICLE DIRECTLY IN FRONT AND ACTIVATE THE BRAKE SYSTEM, RESULTING IN RAPID DECELERATION OF THE TRUCK AND CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR A COLLISION FROM BEHIND. WHEN THE SYSTEM ACTIVATES, THERE ARE NO OTHER VEHICLES IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK, ONLY IN THE ADJACENT LANE. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER HALF A DOZEN TIMES, AND HAS RESULTED IN NEAR REAR-END COLLISIONS FROM VEHICLES BEHIND THE TRUCK BECAUSE OF HOW RAPIDLY THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SLOWS THE TRUCK. PASSENGERS IN THE TRUCK HAVE BEEN THROWN INTO THEIR SEATBELTS FROM THE RAPID DECELERATION OF THE TRUCK. LUCKILY NO ONE HAS BEEN HURT, BUT THIS PRESENTS AN EXTREME SAFETY PROBLEM AND HAS RESULTED IN HAVING TO TURN OFF THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND COLLISION ALERT SYSTEMS. FORD HAS NOT SUCCESSFULLY CREATED A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED AT HTTP://WWW.F150FORUM.COM/F118/ADAPTIVE-CRUISE-MALFUNCTIONS-SCARY-299485/.

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.

Mileage: 2,200

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.
