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

THE BRAKES ON MY 2016 F150 ARE SUPER SENSITIVE AND TEND TO LOCK UP AT LOW SPEED. NO MATTER HOW EASY YOU APPLY THEM THEY TEND TO CAUSE YOU TO JERK FORWARD UPON APPLYING THEM.

2016 F150 CREW CAB LARIAT, DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH FAILED TO UNLATCH WITH FOB OR WITH NUMBER PAD FROM THE OUTSIDE. WAS ONLY ABLE TO UNLOCK DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT IS INTERMITTENT AND DEPENDS ON THE TEMPERATURE AND SEEMS TO HAPPEN IF MOISTURE IS PRESENT. APPROXIMATELY 4800 MILES ON F150. THIS LATCH PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE QUITE COMMON WITH OTHER NEW F150'S. FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.

I ARRIVED AT A FRIENDS HOUSE WITH NO ISSUES. SHORTLY AFTER, I WENT TO START MY VEHICLE AND WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE TO HIT THE START BUTTON, THE BRAKE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR BOARD AS IF THERE WAS NO PRESSURE. AT THAT POINT BRAKE / FLUID LIGHT CAME ON. I OPENED THE HOOD AND CHECK THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND IT WAS EMPTY. NEXT DAY I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER.

IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 20 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, THE DOOR LATCHES (FRONT & REAR) WILL FREEZE IN THE UNLATCHED POSITION WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO LATCH THE DOOR CLOSED UNTIL THAWED OUT. I'VE HAD TO DRIVE HOLDING THE DOOR CLOSED BY HAND ON 7 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS UNTIL THE DOOR WOULD LATCH. MY VEHICLE IS ALWAYS PARKED OUTSIDE IN MY DRIVEWAY AS MY GARAGE IS TOO SMALL FOR IT. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE DOOR LATCHES WERE ON BACKORDER FROM FORD THROUGH APRIL. THERE IS NO RECALL ISSUED AS OF YET.

HILL ASSIST AND AUTOTRAC MALFUNCTION. 2016 FORD F-150, LESS THAN 8,000 MILES. WARNING INDICATOR SUDDENLY COMES ON AND VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER GOING FROM HIGHWAY SPEED TO 2MPH IN SECONDS WITHOUT WARNING. HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN TWO WEEKS ON STRAIGHT, LEVEL ROAD, DRY AND CLEAR CONDITIONS. ONE TIME WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH, OTHERS WERE CITY ROADS AROUND 25-35MPH. ONE TIME WAS AFTER A NORMAL RIGHT TURN, OTHERS JUST RANDOMLY WHILE TRAVELING STRAIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY BUT RESEARCHING ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH F-150S. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL CONSIDERING THE DANGER POSED FROM A VEHICLE THAT SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND DECELERATES WITHOUT WARNING. I ALSO READ ANOTHER ACCOUNT WHERE REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE SO IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN IF THIS FIX WORKS ON MY VEHICLE.

ONGOING ISSUE WITH DOOR LATCHES NOT OPERATING WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW FREEZING. THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH UNLESS THE DOOR IS LOCKED. IT SEEMS IT THEN IS UNABLE TO BE UNLOCKED REMOTELY OR BY POWER LOCKS. ONLY WAY IS TO MANUALLY OPEN THE DOOR FROM INSIDE THE CAB. I HAVE A SAFETY CONCERN OFN THIS ISSUE AS THE DOOR NOT LATCHING MAY OPEN WHILE IN MOTION.

ENGINE STALLS AND/OR DIES WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE ON A NEW 2016 F-150. DURING NORMAL DRIVING, THE TRUCK MECHANICALLY SHUTS DOWN CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD TO ME AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON IF YOU SEARCH ONLINE! THE FORD REPAIR SHOP CANNOT IDENTIFY THE ISSUE, THEY SAY.

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.

RED SURFACE RUST ON REAR AXLE.

NHTSA ODI 10956282

MY 2016 F-150 IS NOT UNLOCKING/LOCKING THE DOORS IN COLDER TEMPERATURES (BELOW 32*F). SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE HAD TO WAIT TO REMOTE START AND WARM THE TRUCK UP BEFORE THE DOOR LOCKS ARE OPERABLE. I HAD A TSB PERFORMED BY MY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY, AND THE VERY NEXT DAY (THE TEMPERATURE WAS 10*F) I CANNOT GET INTO MY TRUCK BECAUSE THE DOOR LOCKS ARE FROZEN AND INOPERABLE. I CAN NOT GET INTO MY VEHICLE UNTIL THE LOCKS WARM UP AND WORK, SOMETIMES THIS TAKES UP TO 30 MINUTES OF THE VEHICLE RUNNING USING THE REMOTE START. THIS USUALLY WORKS FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, HOWEVER THE OTHER THREE DOORS (SUPER CREW) STILL DO NOT WORK UNTIL THE TEMPERATURE WARMS UP.

ON 1/25/16, IN THE RAIN, AT 6 AM, I PULLED OUT FROM A SIDE STREET NEAR MY RESIDENCE ON TO A MAJOR ROAD AND WAS INCREASING SPEED. I TRAVELED ABOUT 150 YARDS AND WAS UP TO ABOUT 40 MPH. MY TRUCK SUDDENLY DECELERATED TO ABOUT 5 MPH VERY QUICKLY CAUSING MY CAR TO SKID IN THE RAIN. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT SINCE TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AT THE TIME, SO I PULLED INTO THE MEDIAN AND PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK TO SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND I COULD NOT DISCOVER ANYTHING WRONG. I THEN PUT THE TRUCK IN GEAR AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN BUT THE CAR WOULD SPEED UP TO ABOUT 15 MPH AND THEN DECELERATE VERY QUICKLY, ALMOST GIVING IT A BUCKING MOTION. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE TRUCK SEEMED TO WANT TO DIE, IT WOULD MOVE AND THEN SEEM TO WANT TO STOP AND DIE, AND THEN REPEAT THE PROCESS. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PARK IN A PARKING LOT. I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER LOOKED AT IT BUT SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AND HAD NEVER HEARD OF THAT HAPPENING TO ANYONE BEFORE. I LOOKED ON THE NHTSA SITE AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAD HAD THIS OCCUR IN THIS MODEL. THE WORK ORDER RECEIVED FROM THE DEALER DID NOT INDICATE THAT ANYTHING WAS ADJUSTED OR REPLACED. TO DATE IT HAS NOT REOCCURRED.

I AGREED TO PURCHASE THIS F150 ON 1/27/2016 BUT REQUESTED THAT THE MUSHY BRAKES BE REPAIRED FIRST (PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR). WENT BACK TO DEALER 1/27 TO COMPLETE PAPERWORK AND PICK UP REPAIRED TRUCK. WAS TOLD THAT THE TRUCK WAS CHECKED BY THE SERVICE DEPT. AND THAT BRAKES WERE NORMAL. I COMPLETED THE PAPERWORK BUT LEFT THE TRUCK THERE TO BE CHECKED BY THE SERVICE DEPT. AGAIN THE NEXT MORNING. I GOT A PHONE CALL THE NEXT MORNING SAYING THE BRAKES HAD BEEN FIXED AND THE TRUCK WAS READY FOR PICKUP. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP I WENT TO THE TRUCK AND PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD BEEN CHECKED BY FOUR SERVICE TECHS AND ALL AGREED THAT THE BRAKES WERE FINE. THEY ALSO GAVE ME A SERVICE REPORT SAYING THE BRAKE OPERATION WAS NORMAL. I TOOK THE TRUCK HOME THAT AFTERNOON SINCE IT DIDN'T APPEAR THAT THIS SERVICE DEPT WAS NOT QUALIFIED . ON 1/31 I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A DIFFERENT DEALER. THEY SAID THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS BY-PASSING AND ORDERED A NEW ONE. IT CAME IN THE NEXT DAY AND I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR REPAIR. AFTER THE TRUCK WAS "REPAIRED" I GOT IN THE TRUCK TO HEAD BACK HOME. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WENT BACK IN AND REPORTED THAT IT WAS THE SAME AS BEFORE. AFTER DISCUSSIONS, THE SERVICE DEPT GOT A NEW TRUCK OFF OF THE SALES LOT AND SHOWED ME THAT THIS BREAK PEDAL ALSO WENT TO THE FLOOR, SO THIS PEDAL OPERATION WAS NORMAL. I TOOK MY TRUCK AND RETURNED HOME. NOW I HAVE A VERY EXPENSIVE TRUCK THAT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE. AFTER AN INTERNET SEARCH FOR MUSHY BRAKES I FIND THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

I HAVE A FORD F150 WITH ONLY 6K MILES. GREAT TRUCK! HOWEVER, THE FRONT DOOR HAS BEEN FREEZING UP IN 20-30 DEGREE WEATHER. THIS BECOMES AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE REASON IS BECAUSE THE DOOR WILL NOT STAY SHUT UNLESS I TRY TO HOLD IT SHUT, WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULTY DUE TO IT BEING A VERY HEAVY DOOR. I AM SHOCKED THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. THERE ARE FORUMS ONLINE THAT SPEAK TO THIS ISSUE. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE INVESTIGATE. IF MY WIFE WAS IN THE TRUCK WHEN THIS HAPPENED SHE WOULD NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO HOLD THE DOOR SHUT. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
