There's a known problem with fuse #27 overheating and causing the fuel pump to stop working. Do a google search. It affects many years prior to 2014. This is serious as it can leave people stranded. It has not thrown a computer code from 2014 f15. Simply replacing the fuse did allow starting but it will happen again. There's a fuse relocation kit (el3z-14293a) available but ford should be responsible for performing this repair. The fuse does'nt blow out but the fuse socket overheats for some reason.

1) due to a poor design, myself and multiple others users have had issues with faulty / poorly designed coolant hoses. These hoses would randomly disconnect or spill coolant. Currently, my truck is leaking coolant and even after replacing the hose, it is still occurring. See below link to thread: - https://www.f150forum.com/f70/2011-5-0l-coolant-leak-252081/ 2) it is a common issue for the back window to randomly blow out due to issue with design the heated windows. This could cause a hazard since the driver could be distracted when the window blows out.

Complete loss of power brakes continues. Began after recall of master cylinder. Power assist is lost and brakes require 2 feet to stop the truck. Only happens on raining days. Dealer was able to reproduce and replaced pressure switch which has not corrected it. Last night brakes failed 4 times on commute home. Had to pull off road to avoid collision and caused me to blow out tire hitting something on side of road. Unacceptable ford!!!! To date 500.00 for switch and 200.00 for blown tire. No point in returning to dealer unless it is raining because without a code or active fault technicians are unable to diagnose. Need ford engineering to figure this out before serious injury.
