    I received a recall notice from ford telling me to bring the truck to the dealer to have the adaptive cruise control reprogrammed. I did have this work done. After the work was done i had an incident where i was passing an 18 wheeler and the truck set off the collision warning alarm and applied the brakes hard. If someone was following closely it would have been a collision. There was no traffic in my lane for at…

    My 2015 ford f150 platinum has had the ford recall 15s29 applied sept 30, 2015. The above mentioned 2015 ford f150 platinum has since had the original problem, hard braking while passing a semi trailer while on the interstate at interstate speeds. This serious event happened oct 2, 2015. The recall did not fix the problem. The hard braking is a very sudden and serious event. It takes the truck from 70 to 55 or less…

    From day one the passenger side shoulder harness periodically wouldn't take hold, forcing passenger to slide seat well back from dashboard to avoid injury. It was replaced once and is better than before but still occasionally fails. Brakes were extremely grabby from day one, but we drove the vehicle for 30000 miles before taking it in due to vibration during any braking since approx 25000 miles. Rotors were rturned…

    When driving at night in the far left lane going 72 mph with the adaptive cruise control on, the truck randomly slammed on the brakes and the red crash indicator flashed although there was nothing in front of the truck. If someone was behind me, it is likely they would have rear ended my vehicle. There seems to be a defect in the auto cruise control,although ford believes this behavior is normal.

    Saw recent news article about f150 brakes..i purchased my 2015 f150 last march 2015. With only 980 miles (yes 980) on it my brakes began to fade out.

They confirmed that there was a problem but did not know why.they told…

    Service Brakes · Vehicle Speed Control

    The truck is equipped with adaptive cruise control and collision alert systems. Intermittently, when traveling at interstate speeds with the adaptive cruise control activated and passing tractor-trailer sized vehicles, the adaptive cruise control will falsely sense another vehicle directly in front and activate the brake system, resulting in rapid deceleration of the truck and creating the potential for a collision…
