My 2015 Truck will occasionally lag in acceleration for no reason. It creates dangerous issues when going through intersections. It only has 56k miles. It should not be lagging like this by reasonable means.

On 7/30/2021, I was driving and the truck shut off. If another vehicle would have been behind me, it would have hit the rear end of my vehicle. This occurred twice within minutes apart. I have not taken it to a dealer but plan to tomorrow or Monday. The warning lamps that said service advancetrack, see manual with a wrench symbol, with an oil symbol and a temperature symbol under it in red, hill assist mode. The same thing occurred on 7/29/2021 twice as I was leaving work. I was going less than 15 mph. The engine coolant and over temperature also displayed.

The capless fuel cap flap is allowing air into the tsnk csusing the check engine light to come on. I know numerous Ford vechicles having the same problem. I feel Ford should recall these problems.

As it rain or during vehicle washings, notice that water was leaking from the A-frame trim on the driver side of the vehicle. Also found that water was collecting inside of the driverside rear door between the sheet metal. Unsure of how the water manage to get inside and collect between the sheet metal. I removed the door gasket and the water drained from the bottom holes that holds the door gasket anchors at the bottom of the door. Collected close to a half gallon of rain water. As I was driving I could hear the water moving around in the door panel and originally assumed that it was the gas in the gas tank, however, after I opened the rear driverside door, I heard the water moving around inside the door panel. Water collects when driving and when vehicle is stationary.

My 2015 F150 king ranch rear window glass shattered. I was driving on he interstate I20 and heard a big bang and the glass shattered and I stopped. No marks are anyone close to me while driving. It just exploded and I did not have rear defroster on. To replace is $430 plus tax. Ford needs to issue a recall.

During cold temperatures our truck doors will not latch and seal. The onboard system reads the problem as an open door sending warnings. To drive, we must hold the door shut and lock it so it won't fly open. Once temperatures rise during the day, the problem resolves itself.

Hood and tailgate latches are frozen. The latches are not reliable. Noticed during oil changes for hood latch and during daily use on tailgate. A similar recall for the vehicle door latches was issued in 2018 and completed. Hood and tailgate latches were not addressed. Hood latch and tailgate latch could cause obstruction while driving to myself and other vehicles.

The vehicle was parked, put into park, the key was removed, then the vehicle was locked. Upon returning to the vehicle the vehicle was unlocked, the tailgate was lowered and we proceeded to load a bulky 70 (I'm guessing) pound object into the bed of the truck. As we pushed the object into the bed of the truck the vehicle started to roll. It was rolling more than just the normal few inches that a vehicle in park can sometimes roll. I jumped into the drivers seat (the door had been left ajar) and pressed the brake to stop the truck. The keys were not in the ignition, the gear shift indicated that the vehicle was in park. The extra parking brake was not being used. The parking lot was very level, there was no slope at all. Once we had the object we were loading secured we pushed the truck and it was still able to be moved. We were fortunate that the object that we were loading wasn't heavy, because it would have been very easy to have an object drop down onto the person(s) loading. There were no injuries to anyone, there were no other vehicles damaged. We just felt that this was something that should be reported. Mileage is approximate mileage was 39,824 in June ( 5 months ago)at last oil change.

Truck was going down road at normal speed and it lost throttle and went into limp mode. This has happened three times. When this happens we have to pull over, turn off the engine and there is a warning light little wrench then disappears. The truck goes down the road again fine. This situation is particularly dangerous when you are on a four or five wide freeway near phoenix area and it happens. Traffic is moving and when it happens you loose all speed and if your not able to get over it could be very dangerouse for the people in the vehicle along with others behind. We have been googling the problem and it appears that many others are dealing with the same situation. But when you call Ford they aren't familiar or they can replace the trottle body part at around $500. This has gone on for years and not sure if they have every found a real solution or redesigned the part to work correctly. Could you please advise on how we should go forward. Have you had other complaints about this issue.

Tire tread separation on federal couragia tire. Only one tire has a separation on the right hand wall of tire. Noticed the vehicle was veering to one side, so vehicle was taken to dealership for inspection. Manufactured was contacted about this but claim that there are no active recalls on this tire. The option to choose tire model didn't have this particular tire model. The tire model is: Federal couragia M/T

A piece within the door latch mechanism may fail after exposure to extreme temperatures. If this happens, a vehicle's doors may not close properly or they may open while the vehicle is in motion. The issue should have been addressed under two prior recalls, but Ford says not all faulty door latches have been properly repaired or replaced. Recall was done however problem still exists. Replaced door actuator on passenger side door and now driver door has issue.

The sync system fails to turn and/or shuts off without warning during vehicle use. The sync system includes navigation, bluetooth capabilities, radio, etc. My sync system has not worked for over 10 days now. A quick search online makes it apparent that this is a widespread issue over several different Ford models and several different years.

When accelerating, about 90% of the time the vehicle will get warnings for "hill descent control fault" and "advance track service". when this happens, the vehicle will not accelerate anymore and starts slowing down. This has happened to me twice getting onto the interstate in the past month but luckily no vehicles were coming up behind me. This is a huge safety issue though that Ford needs to recognize and fix. The dealership said they have no idea what is causing it but everyone online says that it's likely to be the steering rack. Recall the steering rack because this has apparently happened to a lot of people.

Ford F-150 had a recall 10/2018 for door latch actuation. Phil long Ford did the recall 11/2018 however 12/2019 I had to replace the door actuator on my passenger side and now my driver side door actuator is broken as well. So whatever the recall did obviously didn't fix my door situation actually only caused the issues.
