I was driving at highway speeds (60mph) in congested traffic on a road with a steep incline with no shoulder when the truck suddenly went into limp mode when it downshifted. The engine went to idle and I had to coast to the far edge of the right line before coming to a stop. Multiple cars around me had to take evasive action. This could have been catastrophic if I had been crossing an intersection. Similar reports online indicates issue with the Electronic Throttle Body which creates an error that causes the truck to go into limp mode. Turning the truck off and back on again reset the condition so I could safely pull off to a side road to further evaluate. The limp mode feature is entirely unsafe and places the safety of the vehicle's mechanical components over the safety of the occupants. I would rather damage or destroy my engine in the process of safely exiting the roadway than come to an unexpected stop in an unsafe location.

My 2017 Ford F150 truck developed a fuel leak in the line between the gas tank and the engine. The leak is located at a disconnect fitting where the steel tubing from the tank transitions to nylon tubing. This presents a fire risk. The vehicle did not provide any warning messages. I discovered the leak after smelling fuel when parked after driving.

While traveling down the interstate at the posted speed limit of 70 MPH in the fast lane, I experienced the vehicle immediately hesitating without pressing the brake and a loud grinding noise in the front drivers side and caused me to put on my brakes, change lanes and drive off to the side of the road. The grinding stopped and then it happened again about 20 more miles down the road. I was able to get it to the Ford dealership and was told it was a defective IWE Check Valve which attempted to put my vehicle into 4 Wheel Drive. As a result, I had to replace the Front IWE and the new & improved IWE Check Valve which was designed to prevent this from happening in the future. For obvious reasons, I became upset that a known issue with defective IWE check valves causes this event to occur. After exploring the internet for this same exact problem, I found this has been going on for more than 5 years. I now have the "corrected" part, but my major concern is that while I did not get into an accident this time, what is to prevent it from happening to someone who may not exhibit the same composure and causes their vehicle to crash into someone else and death or injury is caused and could have been prevented with a relatively cheap replacement part.

Yesterday evening, 8/13/2022, I had my family in the F150 TRUCK. We were traveling at 77 mph (in a 70 mph zone) on toll route 576 enroute to Pittsburgh Airport. The F150 TRUCK was on cruise control (this time) when it downshifted from 10th gear to 1st gear. My neck is very sore, now. It continued to mis-shift although no service light illuminated this time. The milage during this incident was 53,809.3 (give or take a mile or two, I don't take pictures when at the wheel of F150 TRUCK) All my family was traumatized again. The truck made it to the airport. Where we picked up our foreign exchange student from Japan named Jua. The ride home, I white knuckled the steering wheel, not knowing when we would go out of control. The truck made it home without causing death to our family or innocent civilians. This is the second time this has occurred. Ford attempted to fix with valve body replacement.

Incident x2: When coming to a stop after towing, once on the off ramp and the other at the gas station, the truck died/stopped running and would not stay started when trying to restart. Both times, the gas tank was at 50 miles to empty, and while in tow mode, towing a camper trailer. First time we had it towed to dealer, they found nothing wrong, no faulty codes. Second time, after fueling, started the truck and pressed the gas pedal for about 10-15 seconds to RPM at 4000 then let off gas and truck stayed running. Seems something in the gas line, tank or computer system. Does not happen when not towing.

The vehicle begins to shut down after gas fill up. It seems like the vehicle has a valve selenoid problem because everybody is talking about it online. It is a hazard because the vehicle will turn off while driving. I have also have had to replace the electric usb and power plug twice. This vehicle has alot of electric/gas related issues which cause it to turn off.

We are experiencing separate serious safety issues with our F-150: 1. the capless gas tank system causes the gas shutoff when refilling to not stop at 'full'. this causes gas to spray in an arc for 3-4 seconds - covering both people and the ground with approx 16-24 oz of gas. 2. the front doors, when subjected to freezing temperatures will open but will not reclose until the latch mechanism is C ompltwtely defrosted - approx 15 minutes. This means that during that time the doors are unable to be closed at all. Additionally, the rear view camera/driver information screen is 'shorting out', causing the camera to be 'stuck on' or the inability to toggle to navigation or features beyond the main screen until a minimum speed (approx 15-20 mph) is reached.

Vehicle has less than 5000 miles, and each time I enter my garage I smell gasoline. It appears to be coming from the "easy fuel" capless fuel tank filler. It has not been overfilled, and no fuel is spilled on the cap or near it in the bottom. Seems like gas vapor is exiting through the cap and filling my garage with fumes.
