The engine has repeatedly had cylinder misfires over the past 100,00 miles and 2 years. It's happened many times with different cylinders. Replacing the coilpack resolves the issue but it returns after a few weeks. This appears to be the moisture problem with the turbo intercooler that already has several reports. This occurs when the vehicle is in motion and usually while accelerating. It happens most often during…

I purchased my 2015 f150 about a year ago. There is a tsb for a valve on the top of the gas tank. Tsb states emission related with warranty covered. Ford stating it was built in canada so don't have to warranty in america. Vehicle cuts out after stopping and then accelerating. How can ford sell a vehicle to be used in america with a known issue and not be liable? This is a safety concern. Tsb 15-0171 engine code…

My 2015 3.5 f150 has been experiencing sudden downshifting at random times. Typically, it happens once every hundred miles or so and takes the gears from 5 or [redacted] to 1 or 2 gear at highway speeds.

When driving down the road an error will randomly pop up stating 'see manual' then another one pops up stating 'hill descent control fault.' the truck then loses all power. You have to carefully drive off the road (with no power) and stop and then restart. Sometimes it will start and be fine, other times the error will appear again. Very unsafe if you lose power driving 80mph down the interstate.
