Cruise Control problems of the 2012 Ford F-150

When I start the truck I have to let it idle and warm up for about five minutes. If I do not let the truck warm-up and I put it in gear the brake pedal is very firm and the truck will not stop. The brake pedal pulses like the abs system is kicking on but the truck will not stop. Recently, the truck will not stop if cruise control is turned on. If cruise control is on and I push the brake pedal the brake pedal is very firm and cruise control will not turn off and the truck will not slow down. I have to manually turn off cruise control from the steering wheel and then the brakes will work again. I was driving down interstate 44 in oklahoma when I tried to hit the brakes and the truck did not stop. Before I left on the road trip I let the truck warm-up so that the brakes would work when I first left the driveway.

I previously submitted a complaint, but happened to notice that I had a typo on my VIN. I have had multiple experiences with the issue outlined in Ford recall 16s19. Nhtsa case 16v248. I have had the transmission shift gears unexpectedly at low speed while accelerating from a stop. More recently, I have had it down shift at higher speeds(approx 50-70mph). When cruise control is on, it cancels it out automatically. I have had on time when the mil wrench appeared briefly and all numbers on the center screen went to dashes until a restart of the engine. I have spoke to dealers and Ford customer service, and looked on the NHTSA site and all have told me that my VIN is not included in the recall. The recall states the affected dates are February 11,2011 to September 8, 2012 at the dearborn plant. My truck was built on August 2, 2012 at dearborn. I have yet to receive an answer from anyone as to why my truck is not included when it meets the deadline by over a month.

Ecoboost engine: 7/06/13 first time after driving 90 miles on I-10, pulled off in rest area. When getting back on the interstate, went to accelerate to match traffic and engine fell on it's nose, felt like a stall then bucked, misfired , lost all power. When lifting off accelerator engine returned to normal. Attempting to accelerate again, engine lost power again. It felt like either bad gas or ignition failure. Was able to get truck up to speed using cruise control. With a light accelerator touch, was able to make in home from pensacola to winter haven, FL. Filled up with different fuel and problem seemed to go away, so I did not take it to dealer. Second occurrence 11/16/13 while heading to pensacola after driving several hours (70-75mph), when passing a semi going uphill on I-10, faster traffic was approaching from behind, so I attempted to accelerate to get around the semi to clear the left lane . Engine fell on it's nose once again, stalled, misfired, shook and lost power. The traffic was upon us in seconds. I was able to get truck back up to speed by gently using cruise. This time took truck back to dealer. They installed a "shield or partition" in the charge-air and did a reprogram. Current mileage is 14,800. Dealer did not seem confident that this was the fix. We will see.

Had cruise control set on 59mph. . . . . . Came upon slow moving vehicles and hit accelerator to pass reaching 80mph. . . . Made pass. . . . . Took foot off accelerator to slow down, nothing happened with vehicle continuously at 80mph. . . . Hit brake. . . . No reaction still 80mph. . . Hot the cruise off button on steering wheel, still no reaction. . . . . Had to physically force brake pedal to slow vehicle down to a stop, however engine remained at high throttle until I could turn ignition off. . . . . . . Waited a few minutes. . . Turned vehicle back on and vehicle acted normally. . . . Tested cruise control a couple times before making it home. . . No problems. . . . This was and could have been a very serious situation had there been traffic on this highway. . . Thank god it was around 11 pm. . . . . Brand new truck. . . Had for two weeks. . . . . . . Reporting to Ford service tomm morn.

Tl-the contact owns a 2012 Ford f150. The contact stated when the cruise control was set at 45mph the vehicle jerked, and when the cruise control was set at 35 the vehicle made a loud noise in the rear area. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for the failure. The dealer replaced the charge air cooler; however the failure was not corrected and the dealer advised that the vehicle was operating normal. The manufacture was made ware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle failure occurred at zero mileage and the current mileage was 2,600. Li.

Driving turnpike at 1:30am with wet roads but not raining. Cruise control was engaged at 75 mph. Approaching a bridge and upon starting to climb on the incline I heard a noise that sounded like the transmission had disengaged then the engine light started pulsating on and off so I tried to accelerate and the truck did not react but since I was going 75 it took me over the bridge and then I coasted down the bridge with the cruise control disengaged. I pulled over to the side and placed truck in park the engine was still on. I turned off the truck and waited about 1 minute then I turned the key back on and the truck started up with no engine light or any sign of problems. I drove all the way to miami with no further incidents. I took the truck to Ford of homestead and they said they could not pull a code out of the computer that showed anything had happened. I later took the truck again this time making noises when u accelerated it sounded like the transmission was shuddering and again nothing they could do to replicate it. Again on or around March 2013 I took the truck to another Ford dealer and tried to replicate the shuddering between 3 or 4 th gear to no avail. The truck this past weekend on the same bridge again with wet roads made the shuddering sound and feeling but the engine light did not come on and the truck upon getting to the top of the bridge continued without having to be turned off and on. At first I thought this might be a transmission issue but whenever I guess the truck accelerates to gain speed to go over the bridge or after leaving a stop or red light between 3 or 4 th gears it shudders and when the bridge comes around it goes to a lower gear and starts losing power. When it happens between 3 or 4th gears it is with me accelerating. They told me that the truck has a memory if you drive it hard or softly it remembers this and shifts differently.

After using cruise control for 1 hour on a 4 lane highway at 70 mph during high humidity early in the morning I try to accelerate and the motor loses all power. I had TSB 12-6-4 applied to the vehicle Friday, three days ago, and though it may reduce the likelihood of this situation, it does not overcome what appears to be a design flaw with the intercooler in this ecoboost motor. This flaw allows for condensated water to be sucked into the motor and causing the misfire during hard accelerations after long periods of using cruise control in high humidity situation. The impact of losing power will be a fatal accident for a customer at some point in time if it has not already occurred.
