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

I'VE HAD THE TRUCK UNRESPONSIVE TO ACCELERATION TWICE WITH ADVANCETRAC WARNINGS AND HILL DESCENT WARNINGS. EACH TIME I WAS ABLE TO GET THE GOING AGAIN BY STOPPING THE TRUCK, PUTTING IN PARK, TURNING OFF THE IGNITION, AND THEN RESTARTING. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE A TWO YEAR OLD TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES. THE TRUCK IS AT THE DEALER FOR A WEEK NOW AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING, ONCE ON A STREET AND ONCE IN A PARKING LOT, AND BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS TURNING.

AFTER USING MY WINSHIELD WIPER ON 09/04/2018 THEY DO NOT TURN OFF. ANY TIME THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE ENGAGED, WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY, THEY FAIL TO PROPERLY TURN OFF AFTER USE AND CONTINUE TO STAY ON FOR AN UNKNOWN PERIOD OF TIME OR UNTIL VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, WHERE THEY CONTINUE ONCE THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED. THIS HAS BECOME A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY DURING CONDITIONS THAT DO NOT REQUIRE THE USE OF WIPERS OR WHEN THE USE OF WIPERS CAUSES A LARGER ISSUE BY FURTHER SMEARING SUBSTANCES THAT CANNOT BE SAFELY REMOVED BY THEM SUCH AS OILY LIQUIDS OR OTHER SUBSTANCES THAT REQUIRE A DIFFERENT WAY OF REMOVAL. THERE IS ALSO THE RISK OF WIPERS NOT SHUTTING OFF DURING CIRCUMSTANCES, SUCH AS DURING A CARWASH WHERE THEY CAN BE PERMANENTLY DAMAGED AND RENDERED INOPERABLE WHEN ACTUALLY NEEDED DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER.

COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING EXCEPT FOR A PERIOD OF SECONDS DURING WHICH "LOW BRAKE FLUID" WARNING LIGHT APPEARED. VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY AT ALL TIMES PRIOR TO EVENT. 38,111 MILES ON VEHICLE. APPROX. 4 MILE DRIVE TO HIGHWAY, BRAKES WORKING NORMALLY. WHILE TRAVELING 70MPH (THE LEGAL LIMIT THERE), WARNING LIGHT APPEARED. I IMMEDIATELY TAPPED BRAKES AND FOUND THAT PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. MANAGED TO GET TO SHOULDER WITHOUT ACCIDENT. DROVE GINGERLY TO SERVICE STATION TO EXAMINE. NO LEAKAGE AT CALIPERS, ON ROTORS OR FROM ANY BRAKE LINES. BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR EMPTY. HAD BEEN FULL PREVIOUSLY AND VEHICLE WELL MAINTAINED. I FILLED RESERVOIR WITH DOT APPROPRIATE BRAKE FLUID, NO CHANGE IN BRAKING ABILITY. WITH PUMPING OF PEDAL, NO EFFECT. WITH PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR, VEHICLE EXHIBITED EXTREMELY ATTENUATED BRAKING (TOOK WELL OVER 30 FEET TO SLOW FROM 10 MPH TO ZERO). TRUCK TO FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT/BAY. THEY TOLD ME THAT "WE SEE ONE OF THESE ABOUT EVERY WEEK" WHICH I FOUND SHOCKING. THEY RAPIDLY DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS MASTER CYLINDER FAILURE WITH BLEED OF FLUID INTO BOOSTER SYSTEM (WHICH IS WHY NO PRESSURE, BUT NO LEAKAGE OF FLUID EXTERNALLY). THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BOOSTER. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. FORTUNATELY, I DID NOT INJURE OR KILL ANYONE WHEN BRAKES FAILED AT HIGHWAY SPEED.

NHTSA ODI 11124028

BEING THE DRIVER OF A 2016 F-150 CREW CAB 4X4 WITH 3.5 ECO BOOST MOTOR. I HAVE BEEN NOW BEEN INVOLVED IN TWO BRAKE FAILURE RELATED COLLISIONS. ONE ON JUNE 20, 2017 AND THE OTHER THIS YEAR ON JULY 3RD. THE FIRST BRAKE RELATED COLLISION WAS ON JUNE 20TH, 2017. I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT BEHIND SOME OTHER CARS WAITING ON LIGHT TO CHANGE. NEXT THING I KNOW I FEEL A SLIGHT BUMP HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SO I GO TO HIT THE BRAKE AGAIN AND INADVERTENTLY HIT THE ACCELERATOR ENDING UP PUSHING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT. WHICH CAUSED A 3 VEHICLE ACCIDENT THAT DAY. NOW THIS JULY 3RD I WAS INVOLVED IN A MUCH SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE. I WAS DRIVING IN FAR LEFT LANE APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT THAT WAS RED AND CARS IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED AHEAD. I WENT TO HIT MY BRAKES TO STOP AND THE TRUCK KEPT ON GET GOING IN A FORWARD MOTION WITHOUT ANY INDICATION THE BRAKES WERE WORKING. I TRIED TO DIRECT TRUCK TO THE LEFT SIDE MEDIAN TO AVOID A COLLISION AND WHILE IN FORWARD MOTION I MADE IMPACT WITH THE CAR IN MIDDLE PUSHING IT INTO THE FIRST CAR UP FRONT THAT WAS INVOLVED IN MY SECOND ACCIDENT. MY TRUCK'S MIDDLE AND RIGHT FRONT MADE CONTACT WITH CAR IN FRONT OF ME HARD ENOUGH TO PUNCTURE GAS TANK ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THAT CAR WITH MY FRONT MOUNTED TRAILER HITCH AND PUSH IT INTO THE 1ST CAR'S REAR END. MY DRIVERS SIDE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG DEPLOYED HITTING ME IN THE STOMACH AREA AND SEAT BELT FASTER ON DRIVERS SIDE BRUISED MY RIGHT HIP, AND NECK ENDED UP WITH SOME MUSCLE STRAIN AS WELL. THE DRIVER OF THE MOST FORWARD CAR WENT TO THE HOSPITAL WITH UNKNOWN INJURIES WHILE I WAS TENDING TO THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES INVESTIGATION AND MY TRUCK.

THERE WAS NO TRACE OF SKID MARKS ON THE ROAD.

WHEN LEAVING STORE WAS BACKING UP AND ALMOST HIT A CAR MY WARNING SENSOR DIDN'T GO OFF NOW I NOTICED THAT ALL OF MY SAFETY DEVICES ON THIS TRUCK WAS NOT WORKING. NOW I'M WONDERING IF MY AIRBAGS ARE ACTIVE. DROVE BACK HOME FROM VIRGINIA TO TENNESSEE ABOUT 6 HR DRIVE VERY CARFULY. NEXT DAY STRAIGHT TO FORD DEALER AND IS STILL THERE AS I'M WRITING THIS.

HORN NOT WORKING. I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2016 FORD F-150 IN 2016. I AM THE FIRST AND ONLY OWNER AND I NOTICED 2 DAYS AGO MY HORN ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED WORKING WHEN I PRESS ON THE HORN BUT IT WILL SOUND WHEN I HIT MY ALARM BUTTON ON MY KEY FOB. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS, I CHECKED ALL THE FUSES AND THEY ARE WORKING AND HAVE A CURRENT RUNNING THROUGH THEM. AFTER SOME RESEARCH (WITHIN GOOGLE AND F-150 FORUMS) A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS AND HAVING TO REPLACE THEIR CLOCK SPRINGS.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

I DROVE MY TRUCK TO MY FARM WITHOUT INCIDENT. AFTER BEING PARKED FOR A WHILE, MY SON-IN-LAW GOT IN TO DRIVE TO A WORK AREA AND IMMEDIATELY REPORTED THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. WE CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS ALMOST EMPTY, EVEN THOUGH I HAD RECENTLY HAD THE LEVEL CHECKED AS "FULL" AT A CHANGE OF OIL AND FILTER. IT TOOK TWO LARGE BOTTLES OF BRAKE FLUID (AT OVER $8.00 EACH, JUST TO GET IT HOME (ABOUT 50 MILES). I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES DURING THIS TRIP TO GET BRAKING ACTION AND DRIVE VERY CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY. THE DAY BEFORE THIS HAPPENED I HAD TOWED A SINGLE AXLE TRAILER WITH AN AGRICULTURAL DISC ON IT. HAD THIS QUICK LOSS OF BRAKES OCCURRED AT THAT TIME, IT LIKELY WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND EVEN DEATH. THE SHOP WHERE I TOOK IT REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, THE POWER BOOSTER, WHICH HAD FILLED WITH FLUID, AND AN O2 SENSOR, WHICH HAD BEEN DAMAGED. THE TOTAL COST WAS $1194.34. SINCE ALL THE PARTS WERE REPLACED WITH NEW FORD BRAND PARTS, THERE IS A LIKELIHOOD THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND MERITS A RECALL, AS WELL AS REIMBURSEMENT TO ME OF MY EXPENSES.

IN ABOUT JANUARY OF 2017, WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, MY TRUCK STARTED EXPERIENCING IRREGULAR FUNCTION OF THE SYNC III SYSTEM. IN ABOUT MARCH OF 2017 THE SYSTEM STOPPED FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AT ANY TIME. AT THAT TIME IT HAD ABOUT 37,000 MILES ON IT. BY THE TIME I COULD GET IT TO THE FORD DEALER IT HAD ABOUT 39,000 MILES. FORD DENIED ANY OBLIGATION TO REPAIR. SOME OF THE MAJOR REASONS I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WERE TO ABILITIES OF THE SYNC III SYSTEM SUCH AS: (1) THE GPS MAP SYSTEM AND THE ABILITY TO INPUT DESTINATIONS AND RECEIVE DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS, (2) THE HANDS FREE BLUE TOOTH TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS, (3) THE BACKUP CAMERA, AND THE TOUCH SCREEN MENU. ALL OF THESE WERE IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURES. NONE OF THEM WORK AND FORD WANTED $1,500.00 TO REPLACE THE "APIM" MODULE, WHICH PURPORTEDLY WOULD MAKE IT WORK AGAIN. IN ADDITION, WHILE BACKING IN TO A PARKING PLACE, IN ABOUT NOVEMBER OF 2017, I COULD NOT SEE A POLE SET IN CONCRETE BECAUSE OF MALFUNCTION OF THE CAMERA, AND BACKED INTO IT, DAMAGING MY BUMPER TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $1,200.00 REPLACEMENT COST. WORSE YET, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A CHILD OR OTHER PERSON. OCCASIONALLY THE BACKUP CAMERA WORKS, BUT STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET.
