I don-??t know if this question qualifies in this section but I-??m just trying to find out why my 12v outlets in my truck are not working and also the plug-in for my trailer hitch, neither of them are working. To the best of my knowledge I-??ve checked fuses and couldn-??t see anything blown. Thank you

I get all these errors and wrench sign and see the manual sign while driving and engine turns off and we have to pull over to safety even on freeways while traffic is behind u coming at 65 or 75 mph. It has happened more than 8 times, we took it to Ford dealer in September and they gave us 11/8/21 appointment that was 2 months far and we keep having the same problem and we think it is a BIG safety recall issue as lots of people are complaining about it in different Ford Forums since 2014. We are wondering how come Ford has not recalled this issue yet ? After u turn off the engine on a busy freeway for 5 mins engine turns on and pulling it back on the freeway is a challenge and safety issue too and it gets worse when AC is ON and temperature is above 78.... it does it randomly and very frequently when AC is ON. They are complaining for 6 years ! WOW !!

Sliding back window top trim fell off and window is hanging out this is a safety reason in my opinion because my grandchildren were in the backseat imagine what would happen if it was an impact with something who knows where that back window would-??ve went. I had conversation on messenger with Ford. ladies name was Amelia and there is no recall on this item my truck is out of warranty so I will be responsible to have it fixed. Luckily this happened while sitting at a stoplight.

Vehicle stops from going forward when driving or it will not move forward when starting. Vehicle idles rough but it does not move it goes into a dead mode. The issue has been diagnosed as having a faulty throttle body. The throttle body has been replaced once already but the problem persists. This is unsafe as the vehicle ceases to move forward when driving down the road.

Vehicle would stall while driving, had to stop, park, turn off and turn engine back on. Engine would shake, and would put vehicle in limp mode, with no acceleration. Happened on major Roadways and on a highway. Looked to see if others were having this problem, seems to be common for F150 owners as a throttle body issue. Had looked at and it is indeed a throttle body issue. Extremely dangerous.

In the 15 F150 the rear sliding window bracket becomes loose and falls down. If you do not notice it beforehand the sliding window will become a flying projectile in the event of a car accident or hard braking. This is extremely unsafe with car seats in the back seat. I've owned 2 15 F150s and they both did the same thing. It's just a matter of time before this becomes a serious incident.

My 2015 Truck will occasionally lag in acceleration for no reason. It creates dangerous issues when going through intersections. It only has 56k miles. It should not be lagging like this by reasonable means.

On 7/30/2021, I was driving and the truck shut off. If another vehicle would have been behind me, it would have hit the rear end of my vehicle. This occurred twice within minutes apart. I have not taken it to a dealer but plan to tomorrow or Monday. The warning lamps that said service advancetrack, see manual with a wrench symbol, with an oil symbol and a temperature symbol under it in red, hill assist mode. The same thing occurred on 7/29/2021 twice as I was leaving work. I was going less than 15 mph. The engine coolant and over temperature also displayed.

As it rain or during vehicle washings, notice that water was leaking from the A-frame trim on the driver side of the vehicle. Also found that water was collecting inside of the driverside rear door between the sheet metal. Unsure of how the water manage to get inside and collect between the sheet metal. I removed the door gasket and the water drained from the bottom holes that holds the door gasket anchors at the bottom of the door. Collected close to a half gallon of rain water. As I was driving I could hear the water moving around in the door panel and originally assumed that it was the gas in the gas tank, however, after I opened the rear driverside door, I heard the water moving around inside the door panel. Water collects when driving and when vehicle is stationary.

It just exploded and I did not have rear defroster on. To replace is $430 plus tax. Ford needs to issue a recall.

During cold temperatures our truck doors will not latch and seal. The onboard system reads the problem as an open door sending warnings. To drive, we must hold the door shut and lock it so it won't fly open. Once temperatures rise during the day, the problem resolves itself.

Hood and tailgate latches are frozen. The latches are not reliable. Noticed during oil changes for hood latch and during daily use on tailgate. A similar recall for the vehicle door latches was issued in 2018 and completed. Hood and tailgate latches were not addressed. Hood latch and tailgate latch could cause obstruction while driving to myself and other vehicles.

The vehicle was parked, put into park, the key was removed, then the vehicle was locked. Upon returning to the vehicle the vehicle was unlocked, the tailgate was lowered and we proceeded to load a bulky 70 (I'm guessing) pound object into the bed of the truck. As we pushed the object into the bed of the truck the vehicle started to roll. It was rolling more than just the normal few inches that a vehicle in park can sometimes roll. I jumped into the drivers seat (the door had been left ajar) and pressed the brake to stop the truck. The keys were not in the ignition, the gear shift indicated that the vehicle was in park. The extra parking brake was not being used. The parking lot was very level, there was no slope at all. Once we had the object we were loading secured we pushed the truck and it was still able to be moved. We were fortunate that the object that we were loading wasn't heavy, because it would have been very easy to have an object drop down onto the person(s) loading. There were no injuries to anyone, there were no other vehicles damaged. We just felt that this was something that should be reported. Mileage is approximate mileage was 39,824 in June ( 5 months ago)at last oil change.

Truck was going down road at normal speed and it lost throttle and went into limp mode. This has happened three times. When this happens we have to pull over, turn off the engine and there is a warning light little wrench then disappears. The truck goes down the road again fine. This situation is particularly dangerous when you are on a four or five wide freeway near phoenix area and it happens. Traffic is moving and when it happens you loose all speed and if your not able to get over it could be very dangerouse for the people in the vehicle along with others behind. We have been googling the problem and it appears that many others are dealing with the same situation. But when you call Ford they aren't familiar or they can replace the trottle body part at around $500. This has gone on for years and not sure if they have every found a real solution or redesigned the part to work correctly. Could you please advise on how we should go forward. Have you had other complaints about this issue.
