while riding along the highway, lights came on something about a hill startt I wasnt driving on a hill also check service manual, truck slowed with no ability to press gas for movement. I had to get to the shoulder, which was very unsafe since i could not move at speed limit. I got to the shoulder and put it in park and shut it off. I could immediately start it again. Check engine light appeared and disappeared randomly. This happened more than a dozen times though I avoided the highway again. I took it to Autozone which does a free diagnoses. Error P2112 which was throttle assembly. I have an extended warranty but it is not covered. My truck i now at the Ford dealership to be repaired. Since defect is not covered I must pay out of pocket, my rental is also not covered. Since repair shops are so busy, I have no idea when my vehicle will be returned to me.

While trying to accelerate, my truck repeatedly lost all engine power with multiple alarms lighting up on the console. My only option was to gradually pull to the side of the road, shut off the truck and restart. Problem quickly got worse to the point that I was lucky to go a hundred yards before the problem occurred. Luckily, it was late in the evening without much traffic. I was able to coast down a hill and into the parking lot of a repair shop. This same situation occurred in 2020 and a Ford dealer identified a failed throttle body. Even though this seems to be a common problem, there was no recall or warranty so I had to pay to replace the Throttle Body. I now have to pay for yet another throttle body. Very serious safety issue losing control of a full size truck.

Left rear door will not lock--either electronically or manually. There is no warning or indication that it is not locked, except to observe the the lock indicator post does not drop when the locking the vehicle, (unlikely to be noticed). I recently discovered this only by pulling the outside door handle when the vehicle was locked, and it opened. I have not had this inspected, though it appears to be a failure of the lock actuator--unrelated to the water-related failures of previous complaints and recalls. This presents a safety risk for any passenger sitting next to that door--especially a child, since the child safety lock mechanism on this door will not function because the door will not lock.

Our Ford Vehicle would suddenly lose power as we were driving it and our wrench light came on. I had to pull over as best I could as everything stopped. It certainly could have put us in a dangerous situation at any time we were driving it. We did bring into a Ford Dealer and it was diagnosed with a bad Throttle Body. It was repaired at full cost to us. We do not feel this was a problem caused by us and was, apparently,04/18/ a frequent issue with some Ford vehicles but never recalled. At this time, we are looking for reimbursement for the cost of the repair and labor.

Panoramic Sun Roof It has failed twice now. The Date below is the second failure. It happened the first time right after I bought the truck. I had the Ford Dealership fix it once and it has happened again. It costs a lot to get it fixed. Components break down inside sliding track causing sunroof to be lodged open. Once this happens, the Sunroof sticks and can not be controlled (opened or closed) This seems to be major problem with 2015 F150's. Tons of complaints online. Yes, this is a safety issue.

I auto started the truck and about 10 minutes into warm up the rear window shattered as I was putting items in the bed of the truck. Glass preceded to fall off the window, and there is still a residual burn electrical smell. I believe this is a result of the rear defroster. I have filed an insurance claim to replace the rear window. There were zero warnings, lamps etc. It sounded like a gunshot.

On 2/26/22 I had to use the jack that was included with the truck to try to lift the rear passenger side wheel in order to change a flat tire. The bed of the truck was empty so the jack only had to lift the weight of the vehicle. This was the first time that I had attempted to use the jack. I placed the jack in the proper position as indicated by the user manual. After lifting the truck wheel approximately 2-4" the handle of the jack broke by twisting and shearing off below the hook. Stranding the truck on the jack. Using a floor jack I was able to extract Ford's car jack from under the truck noticing that the threaded rod in the jack was bent. This jack is a potential crush hazard as it is not strong enough to lift up the vehicle that it was included with when the vehicle is unloaded.

The rear passenger doors, more commonly the passenger rear door will not unlock. On several occasions I have had to repeatedly lock and then unlock the door system to eventually enable the doors to open. This poses as a potential safety hazard if the driver and/or front passenger were incapacitated. The rear passengers could potentially be trapped in the vehicle and unable to reach a safe distance in the event of a fire or water hazard.

Oil pan is leaking and have been told that the reason is the oil pan material is subject to warping and creating a seal leak the cost is $1500. My safety has not been put at risk. The repair is under way today. Deal has confirmed the problem. Deal inspected the problem. No warning light are on the vehicle for low oil. At this time the manurfacture is not replacing with a original part but need to use a part ( oil pan that is meal vs the composite one that is original to the motor. Conern is if the leak had gottin worse would it create a fire condition and lose of power /control at highway speeds. Kia had a oil pan recalls. Why not Ford? thei is effecting the 2015 to 2019 F150 with the 2.7 ecoboost engines. My safty has not been

I don-€™t know if this question qualifies in this section but I-€™m just trying to find out why my 12v outlets in my truck are not working and also the plug-in for my trailer hitch, neither of them are working. To the best of my knowledge I-€™ve checked fuses and couldn-€™t see anything blown. Thank you

I get all these errors and wrench sign and see the manual sign while driving and engine turns off and we have to pull over to safety even on freeways while traffic is behind u coming at 65 or 75 mph. It has happened more than 8 times, we took it to Ford dealer in September and they gave us 11/8/21 appointment that was 2 months far and we keep having the same problem and we think it is a BIG safety recall issue as lots of people are complaining about it in different Ford Forums since 2014. We are wondering how come Ford has not recalled this issue yet ? After u turn off the engine on a busy freeway for 5 mins engine turns on and pulling it back on the freeway is a challenge and safety issue too and it gets worse when AC is ON and temperature is above 78.... it does it randomly and very frequently when AC is ON. They are complaining for 6 years ! WOW !!

Sliding back window top trim fell off and window is hanging out this is a safety reason in my opinion because my grandchildren were in the backseat imagine what would happen if it was an impact with something who knows where that back window would-€™ve went. I had conversation on messenger with Ford. ladies name was Amelia and there is no recall on this item my truck is out of warranty so I will be responsible to have it fixed. Luckily this happened while sitting at a stoplight.

Vehicle stops from going forward when driving or it will not move forward when starting. Vehicle idles rough but it does not move it goes into a dead mode. The issue has been diagnosed as having a faulty throttle body. The throttle body has been replaced once already but the problem persists. This is unsafe as the vehicle ceases to move forward when driving down the road.

Vehicle would stall while driving, had to stop, park, turn off and turn engine back on. Engine would shake, and would put vehicle in limp mode, with no acceleration. Happened on major Roadways and on a highway. Looked to see if others were having this problem, seems to be common for F150 owners as a throttle body issue. Had looked at and it is indeed a throttle body issue. Extremely dangerous.

In the 15 F150 the rear sliding window bracket becomes loose and falls down. If you do not notice it beforehand the sliding window will become a flying projectile in the event of a car accident or hard braking. This is extremely unsafe with car seats in the back seat. I've owned 2 15 F150s and they both did the same thing. It's just a matter of time before this becomes a serious incident.
