I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUT OFF I MANAGED TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GOT IT STARTED AGAIN. IT DID IT AGAIN DOWN THE ROAD. I MADE IT TO WORK HOPING THAT IT WAS JUST A GLITCH. IT DID IT AGAIN ON MY WAY HOME NEARLY CAUSING A COLLISION, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE TRUCK STATED UP AGAIN. IT DID IT SEVERAL TIMES AND IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE I HAVE MY FAMILY IN MY VEHICLE MOST OF THE TIME. I DID FURTHER RESEARCH AND SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAS HAD THE SAME ISSUE. MY QUESTION IS WHY FORD HAS NOT ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. IS EVERYONE WAITING FOR IT TO BE A FATALITY OR SOMEONE END UP SERIOUSLY INJURED. SOMEONE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. THOUSANDS OF DRIVES SAFETY IS AT RISK BECAUSE OF THIS

SPEED CONTROL INCLUDES SYSTEMS AND DEVICES INTENDED TO CONTROL (ACCELERATE) THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE TO THE DRIVER'S INTENT SUCH AS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THROTTLE CONTROL CABLES, LINKAGES, ACTUATORS, ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNITS AND SOFTWARE, CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM ACTUATORS AND DEACTIVATING SYSTEMS, AND OTHER COMPONENTS AND SYSTEMS THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH THE SPEED CONTROL

WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT A SPEED OF 80 MPH, MY 2016 F-150 ECO BOOST WITH 50,000 MILES WENT INTO LIMP MODE DUE TO A FAULTY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY CAUSING ME TO LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND WORRYING FOR MY FAMILY'S LIFE AS I WAS DECELERATING ON A BUSY 4 LANE FREEWAY TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO PULL OVER WITHOUT BEING SMASHED.

NHTSA ODI 11101604

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON FREEWAYS WITH ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ENABLED, IF THE VEHICLE APPROACHES A VEHICLE IN AN ADJACENT LANE (TYPICALLY A LARGER VEHICLE LIKE A TRUCK WITH A TRAILER, SEMI, OR TANKER) THE COLLISION AID ACTIVATES AND HEAVILY APPLIES THE BRAKES. IF SOMEONE IS FOLLOWING CLOSE BEHIND ME, AS HAS HAPPENED IN AT LEAST 4 INSTANCES, THE INDIVIDUAL WILL NEED TO STOP AND MAKE AN EMERGENCY MANEUVER TO AVOID COLLIDING. IN BOTH CASES, THE BRAKING ONLY LASTED MOMENTARILY BUT WAS ENOUGH TO REDUCE THE VEHICLES SPEED 20-30 MPH DURING THAT TIME. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY FORD BUT THEY HAVE SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO. FOR THE TIME BEING, WE KEEP THIS FEATURE DISABLED UNTIL FORD CAN GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR PREVIOUS YEARS BUT OURS IS NOT INCLUDED. BECAUSE OF THIS FORD HAS SAID THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO ON MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED.

ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME EXPERIENCE AS INCIDENT NUMBERS 11090030, 11063919, AND 11048673. THERE MAY BE OTHERS, BUT, I DIDN'T GO ANY FURTHER. I WAS DRIVING ON A BRIDGE WITHOUT ANY SAFETY SHOULDERS AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER, "HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE" INDICATOR CAME ON, "SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC" INDICATOR CAME ON, AND "SEE MANUAL" INDICATOR CAME ON WITH THE WRENCH SYMBOL. AFTER NEARLY BEING REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER CAR, I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO AN OFF RAMP AND PULL OVER. THE TRUCK WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I SHUT IT OFF AND THEN RESTARTED IT AND WAS ABLE TO GET BACK OVER THE BRIDGE BUT THEN THE SAME EXACT SCENARIO HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE OTHER SIDE. ON THE WAY HOME, IT HAPPENED A COUPLE MORE TIMES BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME. I SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT AT A FORD DEALER TO TAKE THE TRUCK IN ON MONDAY. THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 43,000 MILES ON IT. AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN THIS OCCURRED, SO, THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION.

NHTSA ODI 11090476

DRIVING 60 MPH HOUR AND VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. THE VEHICLE HILL DECENT LIGHT AND SOME OTHER WARNING LIGHTS WOULD COME ON AND THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY. IT WOULD THEN LOSE ALL POWER AND I HAD TO COAST OFF TO THE SIDE, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, WAIT 30 SECONDS, AND RESTART. IT WOULD THEN GO ABOUT A 1/2 MILE AND DO IT AGAIN. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AS A CERTIFIED VEHICLE A MONTH EARLIER. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY HAS FAILED. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP WAS HAVING ISSUES REPLICATING THE ISSUE AND THEY WERE BACK ORDERED ON THE PART.THE VEHICLE HAS 29500 MILES ON IT. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS I COULD BE REAR ENDED. BELIEVE ME, IF THAT HAPPENS, LAWSUITS WILL FLY! *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WITH NO WARNING MY F-150 LOST POWER. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE DRIVE POWER DECREASED BY ABOUT 95%, AND WARNINGS APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. THESE WARNINGS INCLUDED: SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC, HILL DESCENT FAULT, SEE MANUAL, AIRBAG FAULT, AND THE SERVICE WRENCH. THE ENGINE IDLED ROUGHLY AND THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TURNED OFF. WE RESTARTED AND THE SAME ISSUES OCCURRED SO WE PARKED THE VEHICLE.

NHTSA ODI 11063919

WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN A HIGHWAY. TRUCK WARNING LIGHTS STARTED APPEARING ON THE DASH HILL DESCENT CONTROL FAULT, HILL ASSIST FAULT, SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC. TURN SIGNALS WOULD NOT WORK AND GAS PEDAL WAS UNRESPONSIVE. TRUCK SLOWED TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP AND BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AS THE ENGINE WAS ABOUT TO DIE.

NHTSA ODI 11048673

AS I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH, THE TRUCK SUDDENLY DECELERATED TO ALMOST A STAND STILL. TWO MESSAGES APPEARED ON THE DASH BOARD INFO SYSTEM. SERVICE NEEDED FOR HILL ASSIST AND ADVANCE TRAC, OR SOMETHING SIMILAR. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME, HALF MILE, AT A WALKING PACE WHICH WAS AS FAST AS THE TRUCK WOULD GO. THERE WAS NO WARNING. THIS IS A DEADLY FLAW. HOW COULD YOU NOT HAVE FORD F150 IN YOUR DATABASE?

2016 F150 WITH THE 2.7L ECOBOOST RANDOMLY DIES AFTER STARTUP. SOMETIMES IT WILL DIE WHILE IN MOTION ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THERE'S NO STORED CODES FOR THE DEALER. IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP 6 TIMES TOTAL. THE FIRST TIME THEY PUT A CRANKCASE VENT SENSOR AND THEN THE 2ND TIME SPARKPLUGS. IT'S DIES AND GONE INTO LIMP MODE MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THE DEALER CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY CAN'T FIX IT. IT STARTED AT 9,000 MILES AND IT NOW HAS 14,000 MILES. I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY BUT THEY WON'T REPLACE IT WITHOUT A CODE. IT HAS HAPPENED RANDOMLY FROM MARCH 2017 UNTIL TODAY 8-13-17. I ALSO HAVE A RECORDING SAVED ON MY SNAP-ON SCAN TOOL OF THE PARAMETERS AT THE TIME IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE.

ON FRIDAY, MARCH 31ST, 2017 I WAS DOING 65 MPH ON A FREEWAY WHEN I FELT A JOLT FROM THE VEHICLE, ALL ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND I LOST ALL THROTTLE POWER TO THE ENGINE VIA THE GAS PEDAL, I WAS LEFT TO HELPLESSLY COAST TO A STOP OVER ON THE SHOULDER. I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE THE RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE OFF, THEN ABOUT 2 MILES LATER AT 35 MPH THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I SWITCHED OFF AND RESTARTED AND WAS THEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE 30 MILES BACK HOME. I AM TAKING IT INTO FORD WHO ARE CLAIMING NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS FAULT, BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE AS THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING AS I FOUND OUT WHEN I FOUND THESE URLS HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/FORD/F-150/2016/ENGINE/ENGINE_STALLS_DIES_WHILE_DRIVING.SHTML HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/FORD/F-150/2016/ENGINE/ENGINE.SHTML IT WOULD APPEAR TO BE THE RESULT OF A BAD ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY COVER WHICH FORD HAVE NOT BOTHERED TO EITHER ACKNOWLEDGE IS A PROBLEM OR ENDEAVORED TO FIX, SO I AM SIMPLY FACING THE PROSPECT OF THEM REPLACING THE EXISTING ONE WITH THE SAME ONE THAT COULD FAIL AGAIN AT ANY TIME AS HAS BEEN NOTED BY OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS VERY FRIGHTENING SITUATION. GIVEN THE SERIOUSNESS AND POTENTIALLY LETHAL CONSEQUENCES OF THIS I DEMAND FORD ISSUE A RECALL AND HAVE THIS PROBLEM PROPERLY SEEN TO. I ALREADY HAVE THE MATTER IN THE HANDS OF MY ATTORNEY AND WILL, AT THE VERY LEAST, BE BRINGING AN ACTION AGAINST THEM UNDER THE NYS LEMON LAWS. IT'S BARELY 7 MONTHS OLD WITH ABOUT 7,000 MILES ON THE CLOCK AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THIS VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LIABILITY AND UNFIT FOR PURPOSE AND SERIOUS ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN BY FORD, FIRSTLY TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT AS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THEN SECONDLY INSTIGATING A RECALL TO EFFECTIVELY CORRECT THE PROBLEM BY UPGRADING AND FIXING THE PART AT FAULT.

WHILE IN MOTION, THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM WILL ACTIVATE AND APPLY THE BRAKES WITH FORCE FOR NO REASON. AT 70 MPH, THIS IS QUITE DANGEROUS AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. I HAVE SINCE DEACTIVATED THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE. THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED WITH A 2015 MODEL I HAD AND WAS NEVER FIXED BY FORD.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 60MPH MY FORD 2016 F150 3.5L V6 LURCHED AND STALLED, EXPERIENCING A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, THROTTLE CONTROL AND ACCELERATION. THIS WAS THE 7TH THROTTLE MALFUNCTION MY F150 HAS EXPERIENCED IN THE PAST 5 MONTHS. EACH MALFUNCTION EXACTLY THE SAME. SINCE I AM NOW FORCED TO ONLY TRAVEL IN THE FAR RIGHT LANES FOR SAFETY, I HAD ENOUGH REMAINING MOMENTUM TO VEER MY F150 OFF OF THE HIGHWAY AND BRING IT TO A COMPLETE STOP. WITH SOME EFFORT MY F150 STRUGGLED BUT WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND TRAVELING A LOW SPEEDS I MADE IT SAFELY HOME. DUE TO THE DANGEROUS NATURE OF THIS INCIDENT I HAVE TAKEN MY F150 TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE SO FAR. FORD BELIEVES THE ISSUE IS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MOST RECENTLY I RECEIVED MY F150 FROM THE DEALER ONLY 4 SHORT DAYS AGO WHERE THEY REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY, BUT IT HAD NO EFFECT, THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE MALFUNCTION ONLY OCCURS DURING THE MOST DANGEROUS PERIODS OF DRIVING, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY/FREEWAY. THIS MALFUNCTION PUTS THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS AND THEIR FAMILIES AT RISK UNNECESSARILY. I HAVE AVOIDED COLLISIONS ONLY BY DRIVING AND STAYING IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE AT ALL TIMES. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE EXPERIENCES THIS PROBLEM TRAVELING AT 65MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND DUE TO A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND COMPLETE ACCELERATION CAUSES A SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. I HOPE THIS NEVER HAPPENS BUT IT IS MY GRAVE AND REAL CONCERN FOR MY OWN WELFARE EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY 2016 F150.

MY 2016 F-150 PLARINUM WITH ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, RUNS UP BEHIND VEHICLES ON OCCASIONS THEN BRAKES HARD. IF THE OTHER VEHICLE IS A SEMI, AS YOU ATTEMPT TO PASS HIM WITH ADAPTIVE CRUISE ON, THE CAR BRAKES HARD AND SLOWS DOWN ON OCCASIONS. IN ADDITION TO THIS PROBLEM, ON 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHEN COMING TO A BEND IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING GETS VERY STIFF AS IF THE POWER STEERING IS INOPERATIVE. THE IS VERY BRIEFLY BEFORE THE STEERING RETURNS TO A VERY SENSITIVE STEERING , ALSO VERY BRIEF. THE VEHICLE AT THIS POINT IS IN A UNDER STEER CONDITION WHICH IT CORRECTS ITSELF. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 6 TIMES. MY SELLING FORD DEALER HAS TWICE CHECKED THE PROGRAMING WITH 0 RESULTS. NO CODES- NO PROBLEMS WHEN THEY TEST DRIVE IT. THE VEHICLE HAS 3550 MILES AND I'M GETTING SCARED TO DRIVE IT. THIS FIRST PROBLEM IS IDENTICAL TO THE 2015 FORD F-150 PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO MY SELLING DEALER, MY VEHICLE WHICH I PURCHASED 2/19/16 WAS BUILT TOWARDS THE END OF LAST YEAR, BUT MY DEALER STATES THIS HAS NO BEARING ON MY ALLEGED CRUISE PROBLEMS. MY SELLING DEALER IS TWO RIVERS FORD IN MOUNT JULIET, TENNESSEE. AN ADDITIONAL VEHICLE AT THEIR DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN REPORTED BY ONE OF THEIR SALESMEN TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM TO MANAGEMENT, AND THE PROBLEM EXISTS TODAY IS MY UNDERSTANDING. THE SPEED AT WHICH THESE PROBLEMS ARISE IS VARIED AND ON AT LEAST ONE OCCASION I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI WHO WAS COMING UP BEHIND ME WHEN THE BRAKES APPLIED THEMSELVES.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL BRAKING ISSUE. MY NEW 2016 FORD F150 PLATINUM EDITION PICK UP TRUCK WILL AUTOMATICALLY BRAKE HARD WHEN PASSING SOME LARGE TRUCKS WHILE OPERATING IN ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL. THE LANE AHEAD OF ME WAS CLEAR WITH NO VEHICLES IN SIGHT IN MY LANE EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED. THE LARGE TRUCKS I PASSED WERE ON MY RIGHT AND NOT IN MY LANE OR EVEN CLOSE TO THE LANE MARKERS. THE LARGE TRUCKS DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING HANGING OVER INTO MY LANE. THESE DANGEROUS BRAKING EVENTS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON VERY GOOD DRY HIGHWAYS AND FREEWAYS IN ARIZONA. I HAVE NO STICKERS OR AFTER MARKET ITEMS ON MY NEW F150 TRUCK. THIS HARD AUTOMATIC BRAKING HAPPENED TO ME ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS DURING THE MONTH OF MARCH. IN EACH OF THE FOUR BRAKING EVENTS I WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN 65 AND 75 MPH ON STRAIGHT HIGH QUALITY ROADS IN ARIZONA. I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED SO I'M NO LONGER USING CRUISE CONTROL. AS OF TODAY 4/8 MY TRUCK IS AT THE MORGAN HILL FORD STORE IN MORGAN HILL CALIF FOR INSPECTION OF THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM.
