Door locks on the drivers side both front and back has stopped locking electronically. You can still manually lock and unlock the doors. Neither the remote or the factory mounted toggle switch will lock or unlock the drivers side doors. All the other doors including the tailgate work normally.
2015 Ford F-150 electrical complaints
Page 5 of 7: complaints 101 to 130 of 176, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Engine caught fire while driving on highway.
I stopped while pulling a trailer, fueled my vehicle, hopped back in and the trailer brakes were on constantly. I disconnected 7 way plug and trailer brakes released. I tested trailer braking output at the 7 pin plug and the brake output was stuck on. I turned the gain down to zero and it was still staying on. I checked the trailer for a short and all check showed trailer wiring as ok. I found on an f150 forum many complaints of the same thing happening to 2015 and 2016 f150's and dealers replacing the trailer brakes module and the tow module.
Heated seat connector under passenger seat had a burnt ground connector and a burning plastic smell. Fire hazard. Replaced connector out of pocket in accordance with the ford tsb on this issue.
Turned on the rear defroster and 5 minutes later as I was parking at the grocery store parking lot the back window exploded. Loud pop noise and awful burning smell. Back glass was completely shattered.
Cruise control shuts off during operation. Intermittently will not turn on. Analog speedometer will indicate speeds in excess of 40mph slower than real speed. Stuck at 40mph when comes to complete stop.
Engine stalls at idle in park and at stop lights. Sometimes it's bad and sometimes not as much or can go days without doing it.
Electric rear tailgate falls down randomly while driving at speed or even while parked. Tailgate has fallen 5-6 times while truck is parked in last few months and also 5+ times while car is driving. It has fallen while truck was in reverse, and while truck was traveling on country roads at speeds of ~40mph. Please note - this issue seems identical to the one ford just announced a recall for on the 2017-2019 f-250 superduty trucks. It must be related. Our truck was in the shop just last week before this recall was announced. This truck should be included in the recall the tailgate most recently fell 11/28/19
Driving down the road today being mindful of the speed limit since I just got a speeding ticket two weeks prior. I looked at the speedometer and it read 62. I know the difference I speed variation just from driver feeling and experience. Well I applied the brakes and the speedometer did not move. When I reached my destination I put the car in park and noticed my speedometer was frozen at 40 MPH. So now according to the trucks brain 40 MPH = 0 MPH
The factory/ dealer installed tow brake controller does not apply enough brake power to stop trailer. When towing my 5th wheel(10000lbs)it works fine when I manually apply the override button but when I apply the brake pedal the trailer brakes don't get the command to engage with enough power to stop trailer, my truck is doing almost all of the braking. I have read online where many ford f 150 owners are having similar issues. Ford says there is nothing wrong. I have been towing using the manual override switch or learning to slam on the brakes to stop. The trailer brakes do work almost when I slam on the brake pedal. I am sure that this shouldn't be happening because it's not safe.
Engine block heater recall #19s11 ford the federal safety agency # 19v‑278 it has been over a year now waiting for replacement part...keep calling ford and they say parts are in, but I called dealer and they say not till october of this year, they keep putting it off.
While operating vehicle, electrical issue occurs that locks windows and turns off air conditioning. Vehicle cabin becomes extremely hot very quickly. Ford dealership unable to diagnose issue yet continually reoccurs. Not safe to operate the vehicle until the issue can be corrected. A search of the internet revealed numerous similar issues occurring in ford trucks.
Randomly the hill start assist control error would come up. Additionally, service advance trac error would come up and the truck would go into some sort of limp mode with no acceleration allowed. Finally, the truck started running really rough. All these things would happen while I was in motion and or turning. I have been broken down on the side of the highway 4 separate times now. Everything is really random and can't be replicated. It's done this about 10 times now and the dealer has no idea how to fix it. My truck has been there for over a week with no remedy.
Vehicle was stationary in parking lot. Truck bed illumination lights on third brake light assembly over heated and melted third brake light assembly. The lights come on when the doors are open, and there is no way to turn them off without closing the doors.
Truck suddenly loses power, electrical systems fail. Repaired multiple times by dealer diagnosing wiring connection fail under seats. Continues to fail. 5 times in shop since 2016, no longer under warranty.
Corroded body control module and wiring. Ford technicians unable to diagnose cause. Caused vehicle to go into limp mode while driving in an unsafe manner.
Started my truck using remote start. Roughly 45-55 secs later, I get in my truck and the rear passenger area is filled with smoke. I shut off vehicle. I smelled burned electrical wires. I wasn't able to detect anything out of the norm. Roughly 5-7 mins later, my back glass shattered. Truck was stationary.
While driving my 2015 ford f150 platinum (v6 eco boost) on an hwy (70 MPH) the truck encountered loss of pedal response and three warning light as I coasted to a stop in heavy traffic. These three warning lights: hill assist traction control, advanced trac warning indicator, driver assistance indicator. The truck to transition to 'limp' mode (accelerator and power steering doesn't work) which a dangerous and scary. Most 'limp' mode incidents have occurred while descending downhill, has occurred seven times so far. I have taken it to the dealer, and they just clear code and say your good ($130 diagnostic fee). Then the error occurs the same day. With more online research there a massive problem with the throttle body which causes this to happen. There needs to be a ford recall for this before someone gets hurt.
Turned defrost on and in 2 to 3 minutes heard a loud pop and looked back and the rear windowpane had completely shattered. The break happened in motion on a city street. The defrost malfunctioned and overheated the window causing it to shatter.
My 2015 f150 ecoboost has 79,156 miles on it. Over the past 3 days the truck has repeatedly lost power while driving in traffic on the highway. The RPM will drop down to 500 RPM, rough idle, no acceleration at all, hill assist light wrench light check engine light passenger air bag light and see owners manual pop up on the instrument panel. Took my truck into ford today and they replaced the throttle body under my extende warranty not their emissions warranty as stated in their owners manual of 8 years or 80,000 miles. Called ford and they don't know about an emissions warranty in their owners manual. Looked online and youtube to discover this problem is not just me and frequent with others. This can really cause a horrible accident. Luckily I'm a cdl driver and was able to safely get over on the shoulder this time. I'm not confident replacing the throttle body was a fix as it is a bandage to happen again at any point in time. This truck now is compromised and I wouldn't want any of my family using it or depending on it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle lost power and stalled without warning. There had also been some difficulty shifting gears from drive into park and reverse because the gear would not fully shift in place. The vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 19v075000 (power train) and 18v894000 (engine). Apple ford lincoln of apple valley (7200 150th st w, apple valley, mn 55124, (952) 431-5900) was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle after it had been taken back and forth more than once. The failure recurred with the vehicle stalling at any rate of speed and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer due to the potential risk of a crash. The vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency action number: rq17010 (power train). The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 3,000. *bf. Consumer replaced throttle body, both times vehicle lost all power other than idle @ roughly 60mph.
Truck is going into limp mode randomly and idling rough with no throttle response. Getting dtc code p2112, electronic throttle body actuator stuck closed. Thoroughly cleaned throttle body and it is still happening. This happens randomly driving down the road leaving me with no throttle response
My 2015 ford f150 lariat has a problem with the electric tailgate release. Tailgate opens when not supposed to. Opens when truck is started, during driving, and when truck is turned off. Has happened for the past 60 days. Truck is beyond warranty and no recall noted. Tailgate comes open while towing trailer, causing issues. When I tow a trailer I have to pull fuse for tailgate release so that it does not drop during driving. Very annoying and dangerous. Mostly do highway driving. Clicking noise on passenger side floor when tailgate is closed, tailgate will stay closed when door is locked. Once doors are unlocked tailgate opens. Need to step out of truck, while door is open I lock the doors, walk to tailgate close it, run back to drivers seat, close drivers door and press door lock button again to keep tailgate locked. Works sometimes, other times I will be driving and the tailgate opens during driving.
I was driving down a city road when the electrical system failed on 11/13. The entire electrical system would go dark for a minute and then come back on for a few seconds, during which I received numerous warning messages. When the system was out, the dashboard display was dead and power steering was offline. I started to receive warning messages about the charging system on 11/6. I brought it to three different places before it failed. On 11/6 advance auto parts told me it was fine. The light went away and later returned.on 11/8 autozone said the battery needed a charge. 11/9 monro said the alternator may need to be replaced. After monro, I made an appointment with ford. First available was 11/14. The incident occurred after not driving the truck 11/10-11/12. After the incident, I had the truck towed to ford for service. The dealership finally and reluctantly told me the cause of the failure. Apparently, one or more of the wires connected to the alternator had been severed by rubbing against the housing meant to protect them. The truck was only 3.5 years old and had fewer than 15,000 miles on it. Ford refused to cover it as it was 6 months out of warranty. The cause of the failure seems to be either a design flaw or a quality control issue. If either of those are the case, a recall may be necessary.
Was driving on road with 35mph speed limit, looked down at speedometer and said I was going 85, ever since the speedometer is stuck between 35 and 95, when stopped it lays at 35-40mph. Have read many others with similar issues.
I was on the highway and the hill start assist/traction control lights started coming on. A few hundred miles later, more dash lights started flashing and then all dash lights went off and the truck lost all power. I could no longer accelerate. After a moment, it started working again. After a few more miles, it did it again, and this time when it powered down, the ABS break system went on and created a terrible grinding noise and brought me to a stop on the side of the highway. I limped it on the side of the highway, trying to find an exit, and the truck repeatedly did the lights flashing/power down/breaks applied several more times at low speed. The nearest exit was about 10 miles, so I had to continue to do this for some time. Once I was at an exit, I disconnected the battery for about 20 minutes. When I re-connected the battery and started the truck, everything seemed fine, but now the check engine light was on. I decided to just risk it and keep driving, so that I could get home. About 100 miles later it started doing the same thing again. I was close enough to home to get off the highway and take back roads home. It did it a few more times and then quit doing it. This was a very dangerous situation, as my truck basically stopped while I was on the highway going 70 MPH, and could have caused a serious accident, and left me no option but to either be broken down on the side of the highway or drive at very low speeds on the shoulder. The ford dealer that I took the truck to told me that they can't replicate the issue and all diagnostics come back clean, so they are not able to fix anything. Others online that have had the same/similar issue have said that ford said that it is a damaged throttle body that needs to be replaced, but the dealership that I went to did not suggest that as the cause.
We had a throttle body issue this summer and had to have it replaced and towed. During driving, we lost all power, major safety issue! When I asked ford about it, they said they didn't know about the issue; however they issued several recalls regarding this. This truck isn't in the recall, which makes no sense. It is evident that ford has a major issue with their throttle bodies I have spoken with ford several times, they are not helpful and are refusing to pay for this.
The analog speedometer shows incorrect speed even when it is in park it shows 25 MPH.
I started the truck with the remote start to let it warm up. After around 3 to 5 minutes we went to get in and noticed smoke and a burning smell coming from the back seat. I turned the truck off and inspected the area the smoke was coming from and noticed the insulation was burned from the wire and my back window had cracks over the entire surface. I believe the rear defrost shorted out
Electrical power connector for rear sliding window defroster broke at its attachment (factory soldered) point to the rear sliding widow glass. This leaves the defogger inoperable and eliminates rear visibility due to fog/frost/ice build-up. Vehicle is just out of its 3 year warranty and has less than 28,000 miles. I have spoken with ford customer service. Ford motor company service is unwilling to recognize/correct the factory defect and claimed to have no knowledge of similar issues for the 2015 model. This defect is apparently similar to that which ford has recognized for similar 2013 models, issuing a technical service bulletin (ford tsb asi-32259)
