TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIGOROUSLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE COILS AND SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE GEAR SHIFTED FROM SIX TO THIRD GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE CONTACT HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE ALL THE WAY TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER AND THE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM, CAMSHAFT, TIMING BELT, AND TIMING CHAIN WERE REPLACED.

SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE: ON OR ABOUT 1/25/17 THE TRUCK BEGAN COMPLETELY LOSING THROTTLE CONTROL. WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE ONTO THE HIGHWAY OR TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS UP TO 70MPH TRUCK WOULD SHUT OFF WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF THROTTLE RESPONSE, A BLUE WRENCH ICON WOULD APPEAR AND THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE TO TRY AND COAST TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. AT A COMPLETE STOP THE TRUCK WOULD CONTINUE TO NOT HAVE THROTTLE CONTROL, TO REGAIN THROTTLE CONTROL THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE TO RESTART THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK WOULD THEN DRIVE FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND LOSE THROTTLE AGAIN SEVERAL MILES DOWN THE ROAD. THIS PROBLEM PROVED TO BE A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHILE TRYING TO MAKE TURNS ACROSS LANES OF TRAFFIC NOT KNOWING IF THE TRUCK WOULD LOSE POWER AND THROTTLE CONTROL IN THE PATH OF AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE PROVED TO BE EQUALLY DANGEROUS WHILE SUDDENLY SLOWING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH NO THROTTLE CONTROL AND COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THE TRUCK WAS DELIVERED TO FORD AUTONATION OF ORANGE PARK 7700 BLANDING BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32244 ON 1/26/17 AND LEFT IN THEIR CARE FOR PROGNOSIS. ON OR ABOUT 1/26/17 FORD AUTONATION OF ORANGE PARK DETERMINED THE CAUSE OF FAILURE TO BE THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY, THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER HAD FAILED INSIDE THE THROTTLE BODY AND THE UNIT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. WAS QUOTED $667 AND TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SATISFACTION DEPARTMENT AND STARTED A CASE (CAS-11570094) ON 1/26/17 FOLLOWED UP EVERY DAY, AND ON 1/30/2017 WAS CONTACTED BY AUTONATION FORD TO EXPLAIN THAT I WOULD BE PARTIALLY COVERED AND WOULD NEED TO PAY AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE OF $250. NEEDING THE TRUCK BACK I AGREED TO PAY THE $250 OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE WHILE CONTINUING TO MAKE AND ATTEMPT TO REGAIN MY OUT OF POCKET A LATER DATE.

COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER BRAKES CONTINUES. BEGAN AFTER RECALL OF MASTER CYLINDER. POWER ASSIST IS LOST AND BRAKES REQUIRE 2 FEET TO STOP THE TRUCK. ONLY HAPPENS ON RAINING DAYS. DEALER WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE AND REPLACED PRESSURE SWITCH WHICH HAS NOT CORRECTED IT. LAST NIGHT BRAKES FAILED 4 TIMES ON COMMUTE HOME. HAD TO PULL OFF ROAD TO AVOID COLLISION AND CAUSED ME TO BLOW OUT TIRE HITTING SOMETHING ON SIDE OF ROAD. UNACCEPTABLE FORD!!!! TO DATE 500.00 FOR SWITCH AND 200.00 FOR BLOWN TIRE. NO POINT IN RETURNING TO DEALER UNLESS IT IS RAINING BECAUSE WITHOUT A CODE OR ACTIVE FAULT TECHNICIANS ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE. NEED FORD ENGINEERING TO FIGURE THIS OUT BEFORE SERIOUS INJURY.
