During the failure, the vehicle abruptly decelerated, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the driver almost lost control of the steering wheel.

My vehicle is a 4X4 Off Road F-150 crew cab. The concern is the vehicle had developed an oil leak due to the plastic oil pan developing a Crack init. Ford has issued to their dealer network a service letter describing the issue and fix. But the cost to repair this falls upon the owner to retrofit a metal oil pan. Cost for repair is approximately $1400.00. Ford put a plastic oil pan on an off road vehicle that should have never been done.

The vehicle loses its sensor for gear placement. The wrench icon appears and the engine fan starts running fast. The vehicle will not shift and causes an extremely dangerous situation while on the road. The gear shift panel doesn’t show an engaged gear. When it’s safe to stop and shut of the vehicle, it won’t turn back on. Eventually the vehicle clears the error itself and is drivable again until the next incident.

Driving down the hyw the 2015 f150 will shut down to limp mode can not excelarate lose of power have to stop and restart did this 4 times. As this happen I was just about rear-ended.

STARTED TRUCK AND DROVE ABOUT 1/4 MILE WHEN IT LOST ALL POWER AND NUMEROUS MESSAGES STARTED FLASHING ON THE SCREEN. TRUCK HAD NO POWER AND I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE BLVD TO LET OTHER TRAFFIC PASS. SHUT ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED. STARTED OKSY BUT RETURNED HOME. LEARNED FROM MY MECHANIC 180 MILES AWAY THAT IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY, A COMMON PROBLEM TO WHICH THERE IS NO RECALL BUT POSSIBLY AND EXTENDED WARRANTY. TRUCK HAS 49,253 MILES ON IT.

I am the original owner and from the start of ownership in 2015 I noticed after 30 plus minutes of driving when making a sweeping left turn, like around an S turn in a road, the steering wheel would have resistance. At the point of resistance if I go back to the right it is smooth. Try to turn left and again it near hangs up. Just a notable amount of resistance. I had the extended warranty and have my truck regularly serviced by the local Ford shop. They could never duplicate my concerns over the years. I suspect they are not driving it long enough and/or not making a seeping turn. I do have concerns that the steering box will lock up and thus result in a serious accident. I had the intermediate shaft replaced, no difference. Ball joints inspected, all good. I always have fresh tires on and the brakes are in top condition with new rotors. Still hangs up. My research points to the gear box which is a very costly repair. My vehicle is now out of warranty. I have never taken my vehicle off road. There are enough online reviews regarding this issue that I believe Ford should recall and put new steering boxes in at no cost to the owner.
