Truck suddenly decelerated while traveling at 70mph. Pulled over, turned off truck and turned on again and accelerated onto the freeway. This happened 3 times on the freeway. Drove to ford dealership in albuquerque for help. They evaluated and found the throttle body needed replacement. This same part was a safety recall item on our 2010 ford escape.
2015 Ford F-150 fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 81, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Driving on an interstate 75 MPH when the hillside assist light turned on the dash along with other warning lights and immediately lost all power to the engine requiring a pull off to shoulder. Shut off the engine and restarted with no problem, accelerated back to speed and within a few miles the light came on again and lost all power. This happened several more times while attempting to locate a local ford dealer. While waiting at the dealer I searched online and found numerous others have experienced the same issue attributed to a defective throttle body (see attached screenshot). After bringing up the frequency of this issue with the dealer, I was told there is a tsb from ford but no economic relief for the $675 bill since there was not a recall. The dealer stated there was not a recall because this is not a safety issue. I responded that driving 75mph on a busy urban interstate, losing all power, and being forced to find a shoulder immediately is a serious safety issue as one frantically tries to figure out what is happening and searching for a way out of traffic.
My 2015 f150 crew cab loses ability to accelerate. You will be going down road or pulling out and without any warning the check engine lights light up and the gas peddle will do nothing. It's very dangerous while in traffic. The truck only has 45,000 mi on it, done some research and it sounds like I'm not the only one having this problem.
Defective throttle body caused vehicle to lose power. Engine light on with messages service advanced trac/hill start not available. Truck has 44k miles
I purchased my 2015 f150 about a year ago. There is a tsb for a valve on the top of the gas tank. Tsb states emission related with warranty covered. Ford stating it was built in canada so don't have to warranty in america. Vehicle cuts out after stopping and then accelerating. How can ford sell a vehicle to be used in america with a known issue and not be liable? This is a safety concern. Tsb 15-0171 engine code p2450.. Part number involved is same on canada or american vehicles.
While in motion, at highway speeds on a highway and sometimes slower speeds on town streets too, my truck would suddenly start flashing multiple errors and the throttle would immediately be unresponsive. In 1 second I was dead in the water. The truck would immediately start slowing down due to lack of propulsion and the engine would have a very low rough idle. The throttle would not work at any speed. The only way to recover control of propulsion was to come to a complete stop right where the problem occurred (very dangerous), turn off the vehicle and then restart the vehicle. After restart the problem would completely disappear. Until it happened again. This problem appeared 3 times in 1 week, all while the vehicle was traveling uphill. I was lucky to not be in traffic at the time. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they reported the vehicle needed a new throttle body, and that this issue was common and that a recall was not in place. The repair cost is over $500.
Driving down highway when truck immediately lost power, began shaking violently, with no throttle/acceleration available. The dashboard was showing all the below errors. Hill descent control fault service advancetrac hill start assist not available
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. When the engine was started, the contact proceeded to load the vehicle and noticed a strong fuel odor. The contact checked underneath the vehicle and found fuel on the ground. The vehicle was towed and the driver of the truck diagnosed that the fuel tank's plastic connector was unprotected, which caused the fuel tank plastic connector to fracture. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was towed to an unknown dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 24,600. *as
Truck goes into limp mode constant in middle of traffic. Severe safety hazard for all. Throws throttle body code. According to dealer its not covered in yhe recall or whatever ford called it but its gonna get us killed.
Transmission downshifts violently for no reason. At around 20-30 MPH and light throttle it feels like you hit a concrete post when this happens. Shakes the whole truck violently
While driving on a two-lane road, my engine went to "limp" mode, no power, rough idle and the dash warning lights (wrench, check service manual etc.) all lit up. No power and costed to the side of the road. Shut off, then vehicle started normally before doing it a 2nd time. Had towed to the ford dealer (ray schultens, the dalles oregon). Diagnosed as faulty throttle body assembly (ford tsb 16-0139) not covered under powertrain warranty but this condition makes the vehicle inherently unsafe with no ability to control engine power.
Truck went into limp mode after stopping for a red light. This happened twice one day. Dealership said they replaced the throttle body assembly. When in limp it took forever to get through the intersection, long enough that the light changed back to red.
I have a 2015 ford f150 2.7 ecoboost with 66,000 miles on it, and my fuel pump has gone bad in it. I have heard from many fellow owners that the same style truck has also had fuel pump failures, most with less miles on them than mine. There is a recall on most of the other ford vehicles for their fuel pumps being at fall.
While driving on i76 in pa. Truck lost power with no warning and coasted to a complete stop. It would not restart. Towed to ford dealer who identified control uniot failure and fuel pump failure. Bith had to be repaired. Vehicle had 82850 miles.
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
2015 f-150 3.5l ecoboost driving on highway at speeds 60-75mph went to "limp mode" losing all acceleration with warnings "service advance trac" "hill descent control fault" and "hill start assist not available" along with the service wrench light. Resulted having to pull over on interstate 10 with busy traffic, also while in the middle of a traffic light turning left. This has happened 6 times. Ford dealer has diagnosed this as a throttle body issue and will be replaced at my cost
When filling gas tank, station fueling nozzle did not shut off, overflowing truck fill pipe. At next fueling, gas pipe was still full of gas at top flap valve; could not put gas into fuel tank. Took vehicle to dealer; who indicated that fuel tank was "collapsed" due to vacuum created by stopped up vent system. Fuel tank and accessories being replaced, but dealer charged me for work. Safety issue is collapsed fuel tank may break, leak and cause a gasoline fire, at any time. There is a system design flaw, or critical equipment item failure, that would not function properly when tank is overfilled. It is not uncommon that fuel station gas valves on end of station hose fail to shut off when tank is full, so the fuel system design should take this fact into consideration. This is a severe safety hazard which could result in an accident, fire and/or death.
I just returned from my ford dealership today after my f-150 stopped cold and went into limp mode while I accelerated up a hill on hwy 78 in red lodge, mt. The dash lit up with a hill descent control and several other error messages. This would have been catastrophic if I had been accelerating while passing. The forums are full of similar problems and dealerships know they need to replace the throttle body. This should definitely be a safety recall.
Truck unexpectedly lost power while driving on state highway. Dash lit up with service advancetrac, hill descent fault, see manual, airbag fault, and the service wrench. Immediately went into limp mode. Turned engine off, restarted and continued driving.
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.
While traveling at 65 MPH on the interstate, the truck went into "limp mode" and I almost lost total control of the vehicle on both occasions. This happened two times during the same trip. The accelerator wouldn't work, power steering went out, and all stabilization control systems went down. I had to pull over a p2112 code was read from the check engine light. The problem is from a faulty throttle body which many, many consumers have reported. Ford denies responsibility. This truck cost $63,000 and has 40,000 miles on it. The failure of this part is causing widespread risk to drivers and should be forced on ford to replace with a lasting part.
The fuel pump on the 2015. F150 2.7 l ecoboost is faulty. Ford has recalled all other vehicles with this engine except the f150 model. Why? 2 fuel pumps have gone bad on my f150. After the 3 fuel pump was put in ford also had to replace the PCM so the fuel pump would work. My vehicle was being driven in traffic when the pump failed causing complete loss of power.
2015 ford f-150 ecoboost, bought april 2018 with approx. 67,000 miles, currently at approx. 75,000 miles. I am reporting the sudden loss of accelerating power as the vehicle shudders and stalls both when moving with traffic or accelerating to enter or move with traffic. Multiple warning messages including the wrench light flash in the dash message area as the engine slows to idle with no ability to accelerate and comes to a stuttering stop. The first occurrence was three weeks ago and has happened no less than six time since - twice while accelerating onto the freeway (very busy, very fast traffic) and twice while crossing or turning in multi-lane intersections from stopped. Four of the six times resulted in my vehicle dying in and obstructing traffic with and me barely getting to the side of the road without an accident. I now shift to neutral to let momentum move the vehicle as I worm through traffic to the side of the road. Shutting off and restarting the engine clears or resets the message and sometimes "downhill assist not available" with the check engine light comes on. The check engine light has both stayed on or shut off on restart. I can then drive on the vehicle's own power, though the problem has repeated as soon as two minutes later, or not for days. I have not had to be towed and no accidents have occurred. The north carolina consumer's council filed a lawsuit against ford in 2015 which was settled with ford offering an extended warranty only on the etb (electronic throttle body) of certain model vehicles - all with the ecoboost engine, and multiple customer service actions (csa's) that have since expired. A few minutes on the ford forums online and it is apparent that this is a widespread problem with the ecoboost engine, and ford has offered several bandaids, but none until after the etb has failed and lives been endangered.

Fuelcanaster had under 36000 mile deal refuse to repair it under warrenty
Truck stalls due to throttle body actuator sticking. Vehicle becomes disabled/stalled and applies the brakes. Occurs without notice at any speed. Occurs on highway, city streets, and dirt roads. Requires throttle body replacement. Similar recalls did occur for the ford throttle body for other models and years (e.g. 13n03 program). Dealer indicates it is not covered under powertrain warranty (although it should be) and costs $600 to replace.
While driving the vehicle will go into limp mode and lose power the hill assist light flashes,wrench light comes on, engine light comes on. Doing research there is a throttle body issue but I wasn't aware of it. It very dangerous because you lose power and have no throttle response. This happened several times on city street an highway at speed.
While in motion truck cycles to full accessory power. Must pull over to shoulder, put into park, and restart engine. Driveways, city streets, hwys, it knows no bounds. This is dangerous!!!! An example of this being larger than just me: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1458449-accessory-power-question-with-push-button-start.html and numerous other cases out there! This has happened more than 10 times since purchase feb 2015. 10 times or more of near misses with tragedy. Dealership cannot fix because this does not throw an error code.
This issue has now happened 6 times without showing a pattern. While driving the vehicle completely loses all throttle power and the message center displays 'service advancetrac' 'hill start assist disabled' and the ABS and service engine lights illuminate. This has happened on back roads at slower speeds and on highways at 70 MPH. Again, all throttle power is lost. This issue has been reported on numerous forums and there have been 2 consensus fixes, replace throttle body and an apparent issue with the tightness of a throttle cable.
Vehicle stalls out going down the road. Goes into idle mode and idles rough. Can restart after a complete shutdown and runs good until the next time. Has happened 4 times in the last 2 weeks. A real bad experience while on the interstate. Happened twice on the interstate and twice on a city street.
