What 1,686 owners told NHTSA about the 2016 Ford F-150 Supercab Diesel

THE TRUCK MAKES A LOUD TRANSMISSION SQUALL UNDER LOAD IN A DOWNSHIFT. THIS IS A CONSISTENT ISSUE THAT FORD AND THE LOCAL DEALER CONTINUE TO SAY THEY CANNOT REPEAT. ANYTIME I DRIVE THE TRUCK IN TERRAIN IT HAPPENS. AND I DO NOT OFF ROAD THE VEHICLE, BEFORE YOU START ASKING THOSE QUESTIONS. ALSO WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS COLD/AMBIENT TEMP, THE SHIFTING IS INCREDIBLY ROUGH, AND JERKY. NOT JUST A LITTLE BUT THE WHOLE TRUCK WILL LUNGE. THIS IS A 5.0 V8 TRUCK, NOT LIGHT AND FOR IT LUNG IS DISTURBING. I AM SURE IF THIS HAPPENS IN CLOSE TRAFFIC SOMEONE WILL HIT SOMETHING. ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.

INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF REVERSE GEAR TO ENGAGE. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE REVERSE GEAR FAILS TO ENGAGE AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO SHIFT INTO AND OUT OF GEAR. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ELECTRONIC CONTROL ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING CONTROL AS IT EVENTUALLY RESOLVES ITSELF AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS. THE PROBLEM IS BOTH INCONVENIENCE AND SAFETY AS BACKING UP IS OFTEN NECESSARY TO EXECUTE A NORMAL TURN AROUND. AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN TWO INSURANCE CLAIMS RESULTED FROM THIS DEFECT; I WAS ATTEMPTING TO BACKUP IN MY HOME DRIVEWAY AND THERE WAS DELAY IN THE REVERSE GEAR ENGAGEMENT; NOT FULLY COMPREHENDING WHAT WAS GOING ON, I PRESSED ON THE GAS TO PROCEED WHILE REVERSE WAS NOT ENGAGING. THEN THE TRUCK SUDDENLY ENGAGED IN REVERSE AND I LURCHED BACKWARD HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE BEFORE I COULD APPLY THE BRAKE. TOTAL DAMAGES FOR BOTH VEHICLES EXCEEDED $15,000.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE THE TIMING IS OFF. HESITATES AS YOU ROLL AT 50 OR 60MPH. THEN WHEN YOU EXIT FREEWAY AND ARE STOPPED AT LIGHT THE IDLE BECOMES ROUGH AND DROPS BELOW 500RPM. SEVERAL TIMES THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING WHILE WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. THE PREVIOUS OWNER NOTICED IT AS WELL AND SHE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET CHECKED. DEALER SAID THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND NO ERROR CODE SO CAN'T FIX IT. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER FORD DEALER AFTER PURCHASE AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM WHAT TO LOOK FOR. FORD F150 OWNERS BOARD HAS LIST OF MANY PEOPLE WITH SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2014-2016 ERA TRUCKS. FIXES FROM THEIR POST SHOW REPLACEMENT OF 2 NEW CAM PHASERS AND NEW VCT SOLENOIDS REPAIRS THE ISSUE. VCT HAD LOCKED UP AND ALLOWED THE CAM TO JUMP BY TWO TEETH. SO VCT FAILURE WAS CAUSING THE TIMING TO BE OFF WHICH IS THE EFFECT I AM EXPERIENCING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE STALLING UPON STOPPING AT OFF RAMP LIGHT IS BECAUSE THE TIMING IS OFF. FORD WILL NOT REPAIR UNLESS CEL IS ON HOWEVER. I TOLD SERVICE TEAM MEMBER MY CONCERN ABOUT TAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC AND HAVING THE ENGINE STALL MID LANE AND GETTING T-BONED.

MY 2016 FORD F150 RECENTLY STARTED WHISTLING AT THE 2500RPM POINT FROM THE FRONT END OF THE MY TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP EXPECTING A VACUUM HOSE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS HAD WARPED AND BROKE OFF SOME OF THE MOUNTING BOLTS. I WAS A BIT SHOCKED SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS 102,000 MILES ON IT AND IT'S NOT BEEN ABUSED IN ANYWAY. UNFORTUNATELY, THE FACTORY WARRANTY RUNS OUT AT 100,000 MILES AND ON THE HOOK FOR THE COST OF THIS $1600+ (SO FAR) REPAIR. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET IT DID NOT TAKE ME LONG TO DISCOVER THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE. THERE WERE A MULTITUDE OF WEBSITES AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS ADDRESSING THIS KNOWN PROBLEM WITH FOLKS QUITE UPSET THAT AN OFFICIAL RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED YET WITH A PROPER FIX/REPLACEMENT AND REIMBURSE THE OWNERS WHO HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR THE FIX. SEEMS LIKE IT'S NOT A MATTER OF IF IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOUR TRUCK...BUT WHEN. VERY DISAPPOINTING, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HEAR HOW MANY KNOWN ISSUES HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPORTED. EXHAUST FUMES LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE AND POSSIBLY INTO THE CAB...SHOULD TAKE A HIGH PRIORITY TO RESOLVE. LET'S GO FORD...MAKE IT RIGHT! THANK YOU.

WHILE DRIVING ON SUBURBAN HIGHWAY THE LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING ALERTED AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL INCREASED AND EVENTUALLY LOST ALMOST ALL BRAKING EFFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND LEAKED INTO THE BOOSTER. A CHECK OF THE VIN INDICATED THAT IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE EXISTING RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM.

THE ENGINE HAD BEEN DYING AT STOP SIGNS, RED LIGHTS, AND IN PARKING LOTS UP TO THIS POINT (IN DRIVE OR PARK) BUT ENDED UP STALLING EIGHT OR NINE TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE COMING THROUGH ATLANTA RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THIS ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS WORKED TO REPAIR THE ISSUE TWICE SO FAR. I HAVE MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY PLAN TO REPLACE THE VCT SOLENOIDS NEXT. FORD SHOULD ADMIT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND INITIATE A RECALL TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE ON ALL THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR DOES NOT LATCH ALL THE TIME WHEN CLOSED. CAR WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE WITH TEMPS IN THE HIGH 40'S AND HAD NOT BEEN IN ANY WET WEATHER OR WASHED IN 4 DAYS. SHUT IT 5 TIMES AND IT WOULD JUST BOUNCE BACK OPENED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF SINCE WE OWNED THE TRUCK(1-2019). HAPPENS MORE OFTEN IN COOLER WEATHER. HAVE TALKED TO THE FORD DEALER SINCE 1-2019 AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND TO USE PENETRATING OIL ON THE LATCH. WHICH HAS NOT HELPED.

FORD HAS JUST RECALLED 700,00 VEHICLES OF VARIOUS 2020 MODELS DUE TO THE REAR-VIEW CAMERA, WHICH FEATURES A CIRCUIT BOARD THAT CAN BE FAULTY RESULTING IN "BLANK OR DISTORTED IMAGES" ON THE SCREEN. I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT AS I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE AFFECTS OTHER MODEL YEARS, SPECIFICALLY THE 13TH GENERATION F-150. I HAVE A 2016 F-150 THAT IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED IN THE CURRENT RECALL AND OF WHICH I HAVE REVIEWED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS POSTED ACROSS MULTIPLE FORUMS. THIS ISSUE PRESENT A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN AS VISIBILITY BEHIND THE VEHICLE IS LOST WHEN THE CAMERA MALFUNCTIONS. I HAVE INCLUDED AN IMAGE OF MY CAMERA WHEN VEHICLE IS PLACED IN REVERSE. I AM REQUESTING THAT THE NHTSA ENCOURAGE FORD TO EXPAND THEIR RECALL TO INCLUDE ALL AFFECTED MODELS AS THEY MUST BE AWARE THE ISSUE IS BROADER THAT WHAT IS BEING COMMUNICATED. I AM INCLUDING THE LINKS WHICH INCLUDE THE COMMENTS OF SEVERAL CONSUMERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THESE SAME SYMPTOMS. YOU WILL SEE THESE DISCUSSIONS GO BACK SEVERAL YEARS.

MASTER CYLINDER LEAKED BRAKE FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER CAUSING LOSS OF STOPPING ABILITY. THIS OCCURED ONE MORNING AS I ARRIVED AT WORK. THE LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING CAME ON AND I PLANNED TO GET MORE FLUID DURING MY LUNCH BREAK. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE IN MY VEHICLE FOR LUNCH I IMMEDIATLEY NOTICE A TOTAL LACK OF BRAKING ABILITY AND NARROWLY MISSED BACKING INTO A NEARBY BUILDING. I HAD TO HAVE MY TRUCK TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP FOR REPAIR. THE REPAIR INCLUDED A NEW MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER. I PAID $225 FOR THE TOW TRUCK AND NEARLY $700 FOR THE REPAIRS. LUCKILY THIS DID NOT OCCUR WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

I WAS RECENTLY PULLING A TRAVEL TRAILER DOWN A MOUNTAIN PASS WITH MY 2016 F150 WITH THE 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE LOSING POWER TO THE MOTOR, THE TRAVEL TRAILER STARTED 'FISH TAILING'!! THE 2 VEHICLES BEHIND ME LOCKED UP THEIR BRAKES (COULD VISIBLY SEE SMOKE), THE THIRD VEHICLE WAS SLOWER TO REACT AND PULLED OUT AND PASSED ALL 3 OF US NARROWLY AVOIDING A HEAD ON COLLISION! I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE SERVICE SHOP AND IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT WAS REPLACED....FOR THE 4TH TIME IN 94,000 MILES!!! THE PREVIOUS 2 TIMES THIS HAPPENED TO ME THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED (VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE), BUT THOSE TIMES I WAS DRIVING 75MPH DOWN A 5 LANE FREEWAY AND HAD TO CROSSOVER 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER TO MY ENGINE! VEHICLES SWERVING EVERYWHERE, PEOPLE LOCKING UP THEIR BRAKES....MINOR MIRACLE THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS. I'VE FILED COMPLAINTS TO FORD ON EACH OCCASION AND THEY'VE DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT! IT'S A COMMON, WELL KNOWN PROBLEM THAT FORD IS AWARE OF AND SOMEBODY IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE! ASKING FOR HELP!

THE PASSENGER SIDE LED HEADLIGHT FIRST BEGAN TO FLICKER 2 MONTHS AGO. HEADLIGHT WOULD BE ON AND THEN SUDDENLY GO OFF. THEN THE PROBLEM SWITCHED TO THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT. NOW, SOMETIMES BOTH LIGHTS GO OFF. I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PEOPLE FLASH ME AT NIGHT INDICATING THAT MY LOW BEAMS ARE STILL TO BRIGHT FOR THE OTHER DRIVERS.

ON 9/6/2020, WHILE DRIVING APPROX 60MPH ON HWY 128 BETWEEN JAL AND CARLSBAD NM, THE BRAKE PEDAL ON MY 2016 FORD F150 LARIAT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NO BRAKES. A MESSAGE ON MY DASH CAME UP SAYING TO ADD BRAKE FLUID AND I DID. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP, CARSLBAD FORD LINCOLN. THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER HAD A RECALL AND WAS REPLACED, BUT THE BRAKE FLUID THAT LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE WAS NEVER ADDRESSED BY THE SERVICE AND REPAIR CENTER. AS A RESULT, I NOW HAVE OVER $6,000 WORTH OF COLLATERAL DAMAGE TO MY ENGINE THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO FIX BECAUSE I'M BEING BLAMED FOR THE DAMAGES FOR ADDING BRAKE FLUID TO THE RESEVOIR. IT'S BEYOND OBVIOUS THAT THE ONLY WAY ANY BRAKE FLUID LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE WAS DUE TO THE DAMAGED MANUFACTURER PART(S), THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BOOSTER, THAT WERE NOT ONLY DAMAGED BUT IN RECALL STATUS - RECALL# 20S31. THE GM AND SERVICE MANAGER OF THE CARSLBAD FORD LINCOLN DEALERSHIP HAVE THE POWER, THE SUPPORT AND BACKING OF A BEHEMOTH. THEY HAVE THE FULL SUPPORT OF THE GREAT AMERICAN AUTO GIANT FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND I HAVE 100% NOTHING AND NOBODY! THERE HAS TO BE SOME LAW OR SOME THING TO PROTECT YOUR EVERYDAY INNOCENT TAX PAYING AMERICAN CITIZEN FROM BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR THESE POWERFUL ENTITES AND/OR COMPANIES. I'M WRITING THIS COMPLAINT ON 9/27 AND THEY'VE HAD MY TRUCK SINCE 9/12; JUST OVER TWO WEEKS. I'M ISSUING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I LITERALLY CANNOT PAY FOR THE $6,212 WORTH OF REPAIRS THAT FORD MOTOR CO IS ACCOUNTABLE AND RESPONSIBLE FOR. ALSO, WITH (2) BLOWN TURBO CHARGERS, TUBE ASY, CONVERTER ASY, SENSORS ETC WHICH ALL NEED TO BE REPLACED; MY TRUCK IS NOT SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE AND OTHER CITIZENS COMMUNTING WITH OR WITHOUT THEIR FAMILIES ON AMERICAN HIGHWAYS SHOULDN'T BE SUBJECTED TO THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE BEING ON THE ROAD.
