general problems of the 2016 Ford F-150 - part 2

Ford has a known issue with the master brake cylinder failing in these trucks. Mine has clearly failed due to this issue, and my entire family was nearly killed on the interstate as a result. I took the truck to the dealership and they agree that this is the same master brake cylinder issue that Ford has acknowledged as a known issue. But magically my truck is not included as part of the recall even though its a 2016 Ford F-150 3. 5 ecoboost built in kansas city. All the parameters for the recall seem to match my vehicle precisely but yet somehow it magically is not included in the recall. Ford refuses to take accountability for this major safety issue and now I am out $500 out of my own pocket because Ford refuses to step up and take care of this known safety hazard for me. Ford should be ashamed of themselves and with how many new complaints I see filed here weekly for this same issue the NHTSA should also step up and force Ford to expand the recall because clearly not all affected vehicles have been recalled at this point. I cannot say it enough, this is a major safety concern. Me and my entire family were nearly killed as a result of this issue. It is appalling to me that Ford and the nhsta have not done more to rectify this very dangerous and deadly problem. Next steps I see in the near future is a class action lawsuit against Ford for ignoring this well known issue. This should have never happened and Ford should take accountability for this problem but they are refusing because it isn't part of the "recall". Shame on you Ford!.

My 2016 Ford f150 with engine block heater caught fire today 14 February 2020 at 11:12 am. It was moving and caught fire when I parked the truck.

Attempting to accelerate, no power. Vehicle was on 2 lane highway with concrete barriers on both sides and no shoulder. I was going approx 70 mph. I had our toddler, new born and wife in then vehicle. Vehicle slowed faster than I have ever felt before. Cars and trailers slamming on brakes. I'm assuming this did not trigger my brake lights and it was almost dark. So incredibly dangerous not to mention scary. Dash warnings indicated no traction control, hill decent or abs. Dealer is replacing the throttle body. This was a catastrophic and dangerous flaw.

Driving normally on four lane divided state road when warnings about various system failures came up on dash (traction control, braking, charging system). Power steering stopped working first then truck shut down. Got jump started thinking battery or alternator and truck drove normally for a few minutes then same scenario repeated.

First time inwas driving in town, flat road no hills going about 35 on a turn, when my truck just stopped accelerating abruptly and was barely creeping along. . Multiple warning lights starting with hill assist came on. I got to side of road shut truck off and restarted indicators came back, so I started again to take to brother in laws house and it happened again. Called dealer they said take it out see if check engine lights come on. I take off on highway got to about 45 accelerating to 55 and again is just stops abruptly, lights flash again, I have no power no acceleration, only this time I have traffic near me a semi almost took me out because there is no warning when it happens. Check engine ligh comes on. My brother in law notice the temp gauge stayed cold and transmission temp was low, also I wasn't pulling anything at the time so transmission wasn't hot. I baught truck used less than a yr ago and have just over 40k miles on it. I have only pulled a popup camper with it so far. Noticed this seems to be a known problem for this truck. Will be contacting dealer today. I have included photos of warning flights that pop up.

Hill descent control fault/ service advancetrac warning suddenly turned on. Alternated w service light. But I was just driving home from work on a 70 degree day on a dry paved road decelerating from a 40mph zone to a 30 mph zone up a slight incline. I wasn't using hill descent and traction was fine. The disturbing part was the vehicle suddenly ran rough and had no power. I could not get it to run well enough pull it over out of the traffic lane. An on off cycle returned function for a few seconds and I got around the corner before the fault occurred again. With no hills the last block I got to my driveway where a longer off period returned the vehicle to function. This type of sudden power loss could cause an accident.

Truck experienced multiple sensor failures over several months that reset. Failures include car stalling in intersection, blind spot monitoring, back up sensors, car shutting off and turning back on on its own. Car had to be powered down and shut off for 30 seconds before being allowed to restart. Most recent failure resulted in truck horn going off as well as car turning off while going 35-40 mph then restarting on its own - car surged forward after it restarted itself. At the same time hazards coming on, doors unlocking and locking and rear tailgate opening. After bringing car to a complete stop, shut off car and it turned itself back on (horn went off, hazards went on, doors unlocked and locked, and rear tail gate released). Towed to dealership for repairs and they were unable to recreate the problem.

Vehicle was in motion merging on to interstate I-26 at 60 mph during afternoon rush hour traffic in charleston, south carolina, when it unexpectly and without warning down shifted from high gear to low gear while driving. Vehicle has 66k miles on it. Called Ford customer service to complain and was refered to dealer. No resolution.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Ford F-150. While driving approximately 65 mph, "see service manual, traction control not available, check engine" illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle lost power and the accelerator pedal did not respond. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road to a complete stop as it began to shake. When the vehicle was turned off and restarted, all the warning indicators went away and then illuminated again. The vehicle was driven to the contact's residence. Rich Ford (8601 lomas blvd, albuquerque, nm 87112) was contacted via phone. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 49,500.

I had the wrench symbol appear on my dash display and the vehicle stopped, lost power while I was in traffic. It is now at the dealer that sold it to me, but this is scary situation to lose power while driving.

As I was driving down a major interstate i94 while changing lanes my 2016 f150 3. 5 ecoboost entered limp mode in front of a semi I just recently passed. The semi had to slam on his brakes and I had to swerve to the side of the road to avoid a collision. The service advancetrac and wrench/service light was lit up on the dash. The vehicle would not move. The truck ran but when the gas pedal was pressed the engine sputtered and wouldnt move.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Ford F-150. While driving low speeds, the engine shuddered and the vehicle hesitated to accelerate. The vehicle was taken to cleveland Ford (2496 s. Lee hwy, cleveland, TN), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The manufacturer was notified, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 45,000.

I was driving down the highway and my truck completely shut off I managed to pull to the side of the road and got it started again. It did it again down the road. I made it to work hoping that it was just a glitch. It did it again on my way home nearly causing a collision, all the warning lights came on and the truck stated up again. It did it several times and is a big safety concern for me because I have my family in my vehicle most of the time. I did further research and several other people has had the same issue. My question is why Ford has not issue a recall for this problem. Is everyone waiting for it to be a fatality or someone end up seriously injured. Someone needs to address this problem. Thousands of drives safety is at risk because of this.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Ford F-150. While the vehicle was parked and unoccupied with the engine running, the vehicle accelerated independently without warning. While the gear shifter was still in the park position, the vehicle crashed into the contact's boat. There were no injuries. The contact stated that the gear shifter failed to move out of park. The contact powered off the engine. The vehicle was restarted and it operated normally. There was no warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 18,000.

While driving around 15mpg uphill start assist warning came on then downhill start assist flashed followed by check engine light and wrench light and sudden loss of power. Engine was still running but no accelerator control.

While traveling on interstate at a speed of 80 mph, my 2016 F-150 eco boost with 50,000 miles went into limp mode due to a faulty electronic throttle body causing me to lose the ability to accelerate and worrying for my family's life as I was decelerating on a busy 4 lane freeway trying to find a way to pull over without being smashed.

Almost exactly the same experience as incident numbers 11090030, 11063919, and 11048673. There may be others, but, I didn't go any further. I was driving on a bridge without any safety shoulders and the vehicle suddenly lost all power, "hill start assist not available" indicator came on, "service advance trac" indicator came on, and "see manual" indicator came on with the wrench symbol. After nearly being rear-ended by another car, I was able to coast to an off ramp and pull over. The truck was shaking violently. I shut it off and then restarted it and was able to get back over the bridge but then the same exact scenario happened again on the other side. On the way home, it happened a couple more times but I was able to get it home. I scheduled a service appointment at a Ford dealer to take the truck in on Monday. The vehicle has about 43,000 miles on it. As I mentioned earlier, I was almost rear-ended by another vehicle when this occurred, so, this is an extremely dangerous malfunction.

Drivng 60 mph hour and vehicle suddenly lost all power. This happened twice. The vehicle hill decent light and some other warning lights would come on and the vehicle would shake violently. It would then lose all power and I had to coast off to the side, turn the vehicle off, wait 30 seconds, and restart. It would then go about a 1/2 mile and do it again. I purchased the vehicle as a certified vehicle a month earlier. The electronic throttle body has failed. However, the dealership was having issues replicating the issue and they were back ordered on the part. The vehicle has 29500 miles on it. This is dangerous as I could be rear ended. Believe me, if that happens, lawsuits will fly!.

While driving on a busy highway with no warning my F-150 lost power. When this happened the drive power decreased by about 95%, and warnings appeared on the dashboard. These warnings included: service advance trac, hill descent fault, see manual, airbag fault, and the service wrench. The engine idled roughly and the vehicle had to be turned off. We restarted and the same issues occurred so we parked the vehicle.

Was driving straight down a highway. Truck warning lights started appearing on the dash hill descent control fault, hill assist fault, service advance trac. Turn signals would not work and gas pedal was unresponsive. Truck slowed to almost a complete stop and began shaking violently as the engine was about to die.

As I was driving about 40 mph, the truck suddenly decelerated to almost a stand still. Two messages appeared on the dash board info system. Service needed for hill assist and advance trac, or something similar. I had to drive home, half mile, at a walking pace which was as fast as the truck would go. There was no warning. This is a deadly flaw. How could you not have Ford f150 in your database?.

2016 f150 with the 2. 7l ecoboost randomly dies after startup. Sometimes it will die while in motion almost causing an accident. There's no stored codes for the dealer. It's been in the shop 6 times total. The first time they put a crankcase vent sensor and then the 2nd time sparkplugs. It's dies and gone into limp mode multiple times but the dealer can't duplicate the problem so they can't fix it. It started at 9,000 miles and it now has 14,000 miles. I'm pretty sure it's the throttle body but they won't replace it without a code. It has happened randomly from March 2017 until today 8-13-17. I also have a recording saved on my snap-on scan tool of the parameters at the time it went into limp mode.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled intermittently. The vehicle was taken to seekins Ford Lincoln (1625 seekins Ford dr, fairbanks, ak 99701, 907-459-4000) where it was diagnosed that the throttle body fractured. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle exhibited the same symptoms as listed in Ford program number: 16b32. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the contact did not qualify for the program. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.

On Friday, March 31st, 2017 I was doing 65 mph on a freeway when I felt a jolt from the vehicle, all engine warning lights came on and I lost all throttle power to the engine via the gas pedal, I was left to helplessly coast to a stop over on the shoulder. I shut off the engine the restarted and was able to move off, then about 2 miles later at 35 mph the same thing happened again. I switched off and restarted and was then able to drive the 30 miles back home. . Read more...

While driving on the highway at approx. 60mph my Ford 2016 f150 3. 5l v6 lurched and stalled, experiencing a complete loss of power, throttle control and acceleration. This was the 7th throttle malfunction my f150 has experienced in the past 5 months. Each malfunction exactly the same. Since I am now forced to only travel in the far right lanes for safety, I had enough remaining momentum to veer my f150 off of the highway and bring it to a complete stop. With some effort my f150 struggled but was able to restart and traveling a low speeds I made it safely home. Due to the dangerous nature of this incident I have taken my f150 to the dealership twice so far. Ford believes the issue is the electronic throttle body, but they have been unable to fix the problem. Most recently I received my f150 from the dealer only 4 short days ago where they replaced the electronic throttle body, but it had no effect, the problem still exists. The malfunction only occurs during the most dangerous periods of driving, while on the highway/freeway. This malfunction puts the safety of the drivers and their families at risk unnecessarily. I have avoided collisions only by driving and staying in the far right lane at all times. It is only a matter of time before someone else experiences this problem traveling at 65mph on the highway and due to a sudden loss of power and complete acceleration causes a significant traffic accident. I hope this never happens but it is my grave and real concern for my own welfare every time I drive my 2016 f150.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford F-150. While driving approximately 5 mph and attempting to make a u turn, the vehicle did not respond when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The contact stated that the failure occurred approximately 25 times in a three month period. The vehicle was taken to the dealer approximately six times, but they could not duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 2,600.

While driving on a highway, vehicle's low engine oil pressure illuminated, vehicle's speed dropped to coasting level and had to pull to side of highway with no ability to accelerate. This is an extremely dangerous situation where there is loss of power and the engine would not restart. Oil level was checked and was near the high mark. The vehicle has 316 miles on it and had to be towed.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford F-150. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle stalled and the check engine and traction control warning lights illuminated. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the roadside and was able to start it after multiple attempts. The failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the throttle body failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 9,300.

While in park with the driver door open, truck off, radio on, confirmed shifter was in park position. I accidentally engaged manual transmission control in front of and gear selector at thumb position of shifter as both are unavoidable. As I was getting out to reach something in the back seat, truck released park and rolled away. In addition, while driving in d (drive) thumb accidentally made contact with (-) control and quickly decelerated to a quick stalled stop, beginning at 50 mph down to a stop in the road in less than one quarter of a mile. M (manual) selector is an option on the panel, however, both these events happened while in p and d, respectively. In park the truck was in a stall and stopped. In d the truck was traveling at 50 mph. This is a software malfunction that is allowing an override of braking while in park and rapid shifting at the touch of one control that sits under the drivers thumb.
