While parked and shut off at a gas station in Lakeside, CA, my 2015 Ford F‑150 XLT spontaneously caught fire under the hood. The fire appeared to originate in the fuse box area, specifically where the fuel pump relay is integrated. The incident posed significant risk, occurring near a fuel pump while my child was in the vehicle. A gas station employee assisted with extinguishing the fire. The cause is believed to be an electrical short. There were no modifications or recent repairs.

It's the same issue as Recall Notice 22S02/NHTSA Recall 22v011. The replacement part is MR3Z-7583-A 1X ($2-$5 part with 30 second install), but they do not show it under parts for my truck, they would prefer to sell me the whole brake pedal assembly ($50+ part and labor probably diagnosis charge in addition to part replacement). The part becomes brittle and breaks. This caused dead battery, 5 hours from home, due to lights staying on, allowed me to start and put truck into gear without touching the brake, lost acceleration between 45 & 50 mph, cruise control would not turn on and message presents that hill assist is not available.

Throttle body failure approx every 45,000 miles. Bought F-150 new, now driven it approx 135,000 miles. Failure occurs when driving a various speeds, incl 75 mph. Engine shuts down, complete loss of power. DANGEROUS situation; safety at risk! Unexpected & random loss of power - w/ passengers aboard - in various traffic situations. After engine shuts down, restarts, then randomly shuts down until a new throttle body is installed. First throttle body failure repaired (=throttle body replaced) @ Ford Dealership in Price, UT. 2nd failure repaired @ Ford dealership in Hamilton, MT. Both covered by extended warranty. 3rd failure repaired [XXX] @ Hamilton, MT @ $324.55 personal expense. Check engine light warning occurs.

Chech engine light keeps coming on. Dealer said it was an evap canister issue, I told them warning had come on prior for check fuel fill cap. (Capless). Said they needed to replace purge cylinoid. So as I'm paying $500 for the repair, I'm told this might not fix the issue. What? Started with small evap leak. And fuel door codes. That only came on at 1/4 tank used. Now it's a large leak that comes on every time I start the engine. And I got the check fuel fill door warning again. I've done every trick listed on forums to clean and lubricate the fuel fill door, it did help for a while but as stated above problem is now much worse. Dealer should know how to fix this issue once and for all. Forums note that this is a common problem with no quick solution.

The throttle body will randomly get stuck either shut or open and when this happens the truck goes into a “limp” mode that makes the truck lose all power. There is no warning of when it will happen or to get your vehicle checked. If this were to happen pulling into traffic it could cause a serious wreck since you cannot get the truck to accelerate in any way. This problem has been reproduced numerous times.

My 2015 3.5l ecoboost had the Exhaust manifolds replaced back in 2018 when my truck had 51,909 miles on it and now at 90,000 miles the new manifolds warped and snapped off a stud bolt to which the American Fork Utah Ford Dealership said that since it was over a year ago even though it was a known issue that was covered under warranty I will have to pay out of pocket over $2,000 per manifold... this is a known issue with the manifold warping and causing exhaust leaks when the stud bolts snap off. Ford needs to recall this design flaw and pay for the fix.

at 63000 miles in June 2021, randomly while driving, it presented warning "Hill Start Assist unavailable" and other traction control warnings,, throttle goes to idle in traffic, vehicle coasts and dies. Key off & on restarts it. Code P2112. Ford dealer replaced throttle body motor under extended warranty on June 3, 2021. MotorCraft Part has 2 year warranty. On June 17, 2023 (14 days out of part warranty), at 93,000 miles truck does identical behavior. Starts & runs fine, presents warning with random frequency (4 times this morning) at various speeds from 30 mph up to 75 mph in freeway traffic. Throttle goes to idle, truck coasts at 3-5 mph until ignition key recycled. happened this morning at 65 mph on freeway in construction zone with no safety shoulders. VERY dangerous!!!

While driving with my family the truck gave several error messages and a check engine light. I pulled over immediately because the truck lost power and the stability control started shaking violently. I was able to safely maneuver out of traffic, but I cannot imagine what would have happened if I was on a busy highway instead of a small side street. Apparently this is an issue that has been fairly common with Ford from what I have seen online. The vehicle is at the mechanic now for repairs. He has determined that the Throttle body needs to be replaced.

My 2015 Ford F150 has 108K miles. While driving on 2/21/23, the engine started missing, several engine warning light began illuminating. I was able to pull to the shoulder and stop the engine which was missing badly. After allowing the engine to completely stop and turning the ignition off, I allowed it to settle for a moment, then I restarted the engine. I placed it in gear and attempted to drive again, but the same missing and instrument cluster faults recurred. At this point, I had it towed to Loveland Ford, in Loveland Colorado. After evaluation, I was notified the Throttle Body had failed which also caused the instrument cluster faults. Upon reading about the Throttle Body, one of the articles indicated this has been and issue for Ford F150 years 2014 -2016 produced in Dearborn and Kansas, but that Ford had voluntarily repaired vehicles with issues via extended warranty when reported. My vehicle falls in the date range and was produced in Dearborn. This is a very dangerous condition and had this occurred on a busy highway, would be a danger to me as well as other vehicles.

Incident

Aug 20, 2020

Throttle Actuator control system error (Hill Start Assist Not Available/Service AdvanceTrac). Vehicle lost accelerator power at highway speed in traffic. Traveling at highway speed without the ability to accelerate resulted is difficulty exiting to the shoulder when vehicle lost acceleration. Computer code error P2112 was later diagnosed with subsequent check engine light. This is a known problem. As such, Ford had issued a temporary Service Bulletin 16B32B for this issue on various models. However this narrow window for repair is not adequate for the issue at hand.

The fire department has investigated the explosion and listed cause of fire to Be electrical issues from the Ford F-150. Thankfully no lives were lost, but would like to see that This be investigated to avoid loss of life as a preventative measure.

Warped exhaust manifold. The design of the exhaust manifold where it connects to the turbo is not engineered correctly and only has 2 mounting studs. The heat generated from both the exhaust and the turbo is more than the 2 manifold studs can handle and the exhaust manifold warps causing a broken manifold stud and exhaust leak. This is clearly an engineering design fault and this part should be recalled. Loss of performance, and fuel economy. No warning signals in the vehicle. This is the second time that the exhaust manifolds have warped. The first time was covered under the powertrain warranty and replaced by the dealer at +/-60,000 miles. This problem has now occurred again and is no longer covered under warranty at 86,000 miles
