general problems of the 2015 Ford F-150 - part 2

While driving there is a hard "clunk" sound then blind spot system, cross traffic system fault and see manual alert comes on. Truck loses power and shifts out of d (acts as if in neutral). Has happened about 7 or 8 times now. Very scary situation and can be tragic if this situation happens at high speed. I have done some research and I know there have been recalls for transmission lead frames on older model F-150's. Sounds and feels to be the exact same situation for my 2015 F-150.

I am not sure this is the place for this, but here goes. . My truck dropped my phone connection I tried to reload it, I deleted it and tried to re-install it. The truck told me it was looking for "bt". I called to sync and they walked me thru a few things and said I need an upgrade, I have a 5. 8 and I need a 5. 11 program. My radio is a basic radio, no navigation nothing special. So I took it to the dealer and they tell me I need a apim and the price is off the charts. I am not sure if this all is connected, but I also have problems with the radio controls on the steering wheel on an intermitten basis. I apologize if this is not the place for this complaint but I had to start some place, please advise where I might go from here. I don't feel an 8 yr old truck should be having issues like this already.

Trailer disconnect error. Trailer wire fault error. Resulted in near accident causing trailer brakes to engage randomly at highway speeds.

My airbags deployed while my truck was parked overnight. No known cause, no collision. Also when I put the keys in the truck all my dash lights were on no power steering. The truck is currently sitting at the dealership.

F150 starts to lose power and shudder/vibrate about 60% of the time when driving. Picking up speed, truck lost half power and engine light starting flashing. When it caught gear and speed, the light stopped flashing but the truck continues to shudder and vibrate like crazy.

My f150 kept setting alarm off every day or 2 running battery down, took to Ford house, paid $109 to be told they have never seen this problem. Looks like another $900 because my truck computer says it’s always getting broke in to? wow really?? never been broken into by the way!! interior intrusion sensor is to sensitive ( by the Ford houses managers mouth by the way). Does that make sense??.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while turned off he observed condensation under the front of the vehcile. The contact stated that radiator fluid was administered but continued to leak from under the vehcile. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that there was a six-inch crack on the radiator, where the o-rings and the driver's turbo and radiator needed to be replaced. Additionally, while powered on the head unit did not illuminate. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximatly 125,000.

Rear window defroster was emitting a burning smell (although it was not turned on) and overheated the rear glass causing it to bulge and shatter!.

While driving at speeds between 10 and 55 mph, I lose power and have to try to drift safely to the side of the road. Multiple dash lights come on (blindspot system fault, cross traffic system fault, see manual) and my drive indicator light strobes across all gears prndlm21 randomly. Some of the time the vehicle acts like it is in neutral. Other times it can inch forward at 5mph. My safety is put at risk because I lose all power control while in traffic! I have had it in the Ford dealer shop for more than 6 weeks. It's been in there twice for the same problem and they cannot find a specific problem. Prior to this happening, there were not any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms. I have had to be towed from the side of the road twice now. Approximately 10 other times, I was able to wait for a period ranging from 5 - 30 minutes and then the vehicle was able to move again.

Good afternoon- yesterday morning I was driving to work and had the defrost on. About 5 minutes later I starting smelling something burning. When I stopped at the gas station I noticed both sides of the rear window were all spiderwebbed/shattered, not the middle automatic one though. Can you please help? I’ve went to a dealership, called Ford customer care and know one wants to help. This has to be a defect, like a short in the rear defrost or something. Update-went to lindquist Ford in bettendorf, IA and service manager 100% confirmed without a doubt the window shattered due to a short in the rear defroster and said he sees this all the time. Unbelievable that this is not a recall. Please see website below https://fordauthority. Com/2017/12/another-Ford-f-150-owner-claims-the-rear-window-shattered-despite-no-impact.

Unsure of time of report but possible electrical issue with rear defroster. White electrical smoke and glass shattered while driving. Smoke filled cabin and was coming from passenger rear seat. Once seat was lowered the smoke was coming from behind the fiberglass so unable to see damage. The two connectors that go to the sliding glass are hanging freely and were sparking when seat was lowered. Rear defroster was on when issue occurred and smoke stopped once turned off. Vehicle has not yet been inspected, awaiting insurance claim. There were no warning signs, messages or symptoms of failure. Incident happened on 09/23/2022 at 7:40 am while driving on interstate.

While driving at posted speeds on open highway and in congested work zones, this F-150 experienced an electronic throttle body failure 5 times between rochester hills, mi and granger, in on 9/13/2022. It happened again on 9/14/2022 in city two way traffic with no shoulder. In each incident, the vehicle went into limp mode with rough idle and had to be completely stopped, turned off and restarted in high traffic, hazardous stopping locations. This happened once before in the mountains in utah, in a construction zone back on 5/02/2021. At that time, the check engine light did not stay on and Ford was unable to find a code. It did not happen again until 9/13/2022. These incidents put me and my family in danger with each episode. Ford is fully aware of this issue, has in the past and should notify owners of the potential issue and continue to make repairs available as a recall or extended warranty service issue.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford F-150. The contact stated that on several occasions, the gear shifter was placed in reverse however, the backup camera failed to operate. The contact stated that the backup camera displayed while in drive. No warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and the contact was informed that there were no recalls on the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

Dashboard blackout while driving.

Moisture in a taillight housing of a 2015 lariat F-150 caused the blis module and wiring harness to short out. The blis module is tied into multiple vehicle systems, and caused the following issues: airbags turned off blis system turned off tpms turned off windows and door locks don't function radio stuck in whatever setting it is in when faulted air conditioning panel and all climate controls turn off during a road trip this happened. I was unable to egress the vehicle until I shut it off. It is summertime so the vehicle, without ac or the ability to control the windows, became very hot. I had kids in the car. Also, without airbags, window, and door control, if I were to crash the vehicle, I don't know if I could safely extract my family. The moisture in the taillight is a known issue, and is covered in gsb 22-7002, but I couldn't find a blis module gsb/TSB. However, the blis module failure is a known issue, and there are multiple diagnostic videos and write-ups describing this issue on youtube and F-150 forums. This is a safety issue, and should promptly be addressed.

Two weeks ago my 2015 Ford f150 died in a parking lot. I drove it in fine, walked into the store, and when I left the store the truck was dead. Battery was good, alternator was good, but would not start. I had it towed to my local Ford dealer. Three days later they informed me that the starter was bad and it was replaced. Two days later I'm driving at highway speed (approx 70 mph) and the truck violently downshifts from sixth to third gear causing the tires to lock up and the vehicle to skid approx 20 ft in nyc traffic. Luckily there was no one close behind me although there were numerous car horns beeped and swerving traffic as I rapidly decelerated. The truck remained in third gear until I moved into the safety lane and the rpms (due to slowing) returned to normal. The instrument panel only displayed a message "contact dealer". I shut the truck off and the turned it back on with no faults indicated and limped it home. Since then the truck has repeatedly failed to start. It will start fine for a day or two, and then nothing when the key is turned. I had it towed to my local service station where the mechanic informed me that the computer code errors indicated that there were multiple errors with the transmission. The soonest that the Ford dealer can inspect is 35 days from now. I see that earlier model Ford f150's had a factory recall for similar transmission problems. My concern is that due to electrical malfunctions within the transmission control module, Ford f150's may rapidly decelerate when the transmission inadvertently downshifts multiple gears causing accidents and possible loss of life.

The engine fails to start consistently using pushbutton and remote start on the ignition fob. It is not available as needed. As an elderly man and partally disabled wife, the inconsistant nature inhibits reliable usage of the vehicle if an emergency occurs. The problem has been reproduced by kirk brothers Ford in vicksburg, mississippi but at this time (vehicle dropped of on 6/21/22) no success has occurred to determine the cause! only the local service department has worked on the vehicle and only one technician has been assigned for over 10 working days. Problem first appeared as intermittent in may 2022, and progressively got to the point vehicle would not start normally.

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.

2015 f150 truck - used auto start. Came out later. Truck was full of smoke. The rear sliding defrost window was blown up. Glass was everywhere.

Unknown: on 1/2/2021 at approximately 11:30pm, we were awakened by neighbors to warn us that our home was on fire. Neighbors witnesses an explosion from our truck, that blew up most of the Ford F-150 and cause major damage to my van next to it. The fire department has investigated the explosion and listed cause of fire to be electrical issues from the Ford F-150. Thankfully no lives were lost, but would like to see that this be investigated to avoid loss of life as a preventative measure.

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.

Vehicle lost all speed control when taking off from a stop and engine was shuttering/vibrating/misfiring and dash panel lit up like a christmas tree with all kinds of warnings. Pulled over to the side of the road shut down and let sit for several minutes. Restarted and engine light stayed illuminated. Truck was running ok and limiter was not engaged was a short distance from home so I began to drive. Made it up to 55 mph and about 1/2 a mile and without any warning it began to act up again so to prevent an accident I pulled over and called a tow truck to have it towed to dealership. They diagnosed to to be a faulty throttle body. $502. 46, a heart and panic attack later it seems to have fixed the problem.

My truck won't start sometimes and turns off in the middle of driving. It happens every few weeks. It shows a message saying the oil I low but when I check the oil, it is fine.

Drivers door lock stopped working using the remote and the power door lock on the door. Started after a cold spell in nc. Door would not lock. Took it to the dealer and they completed the latch recall work. They then charged me for a new latch as they said the electronics in the latch failed which causes the door lock to no longer work.

While in motion and on the freeway there is power loss, shaking, engine sputtering and barely has enough power to get off the road, hill start assist disabled, decent control disabled, service wrench indicator, service advance trac. I powered off the truck, waiting 10 seconds and it starts and runs fine until it does it again.

Truck was warming up and something smelled like an electrical fire and suddenly the rear window shattered. Contacts for the rear defroster pulled from window causing electrical arcing that started melting a piece of plastic causing a hot spot on the window that led to it shattering. Vehicle was stationary while this happened.

Back up camera on my 2015 Ford F-150 XLT goes blank when I go into reverse and screen goes fuzzy.

I noticed a small round plastic part on my drivers side floor mat that appeared to be a flat disk broken in several pieces. See photo. I didn't think too much about it at the time. A while later my neighbor said my brakes lights were on and my truck had been parked for a quite some time. After not being able to get the brake lights to go out and some internet queries I was able to determine and confirm the small plastic disk came off the top of the brake pedal where it would make contact with the brake light switch. As small of a part as it is, the brake lights were affected and the hill assist function warning was coming on as well. After checking Ford does not sell the tiny plastic disk, worth about 5 dollars, but will sell the entire brake pedal assembly for hundreds. Other auto manufacturers sell the disk called a brake pedal stop pad. This problem is occurring on other Fords as I was able to find examples like mine on the internet. There should be a better designed part or brake pedal to prevent this from happening.

While driving my 2015 Ford f150 on a city street at 45 miles per hour the vehicle lost acceleration, rmp dropped to barely 2 and hill assist disabled light came on. Glided to a red light, put the vehicle in neutral, came to a stop and kept the gas lightly pressed hoping to keep power to the engine. When lighted turned green put truck back into drive and acceleration returned. Parked at my place of business. Shut the truck off but the brake lights stayed on. Had the vehicle towed to the dealership because of concern to drive it after losing acceleration (tow truck driver call the vehicle in limp mode). The dealership found not fault codes but did find plastic pieces on the floor board. Dealership said it was a "broken brake pedal" - a small plastic disc (grommet) inside the brake assembly broke into pieces causing loss f acceleration, the electronic messaging system to disable hill assist and the brake lights to remain on. Dealership said they have seen this in Ford fusions but not in an f150. The new brake assembly is a total redesign from the the one that the vehicle was built with. The image on the left is the broken brake assemble (the finger is pointing to the damaged item), the part on the right where you will see the small white disc (grommet) is the replacement brake assembly. I purchased the vehicle new in 2015 and have been the only owner. My vehicle has 54k miles, is driven locally, not used to tow or off road and is garaged when not in use. A vehicle loosing acceleration while driving is a major safely concern and I hope this will be investigated as it is a known issue in other Ford vehicles.

Toxic fumes in cab while driving after turning on rear window defroster. Pulled over, abandoned vehicle and the a low bank and the rear windows shattered.

I own a 2015 Ford f150. I was driving at 60 mph, the vehicle abruptly decelerated. The wrench and limp mode warning lights illuminated while the failure code p2112 occurred. I had to coast my vehicle on to the road shoulder and restart the engine. I had to stop and restart numerous times before I could make it home, off of a busy highway. When it stalled on me the next day, I had the vehicle towed to the dealer and paid for a diagnostic that located a failure code at the throttle body.

Engine caught fire while driving on highway.

Turned on the rear defroster and 5 minutes later as I was parking at the grocery store parking lot the back window exploded. Loud pop noise and awful burning smell. Back glass was completely shattered.

Cruise control shuts off during operation. Intermittently will not turn on. Analog speedometer will indicate speeds in excess of 40mph slower than real speed. Stuck at 40mph when comes to complete stop.
