| Description of the problem | At times my 2015 f150 loses all power and go to a low power/ "limp mode" setting. Cautions received are (1) service advance trac, (2) hill descent control fault, (3) hill start assist not avail, (4) traaction control fault light. When this occurs, the vehicle goes to a very low forward power setting (<5mph), runs extremely rough to the point where the vehicle shakes aggressively. This problem is intermittent in nature, and yesterday was the final straw. This suddent oss of power occurred on a busy road and i nearly got rear ended. I immediately limped off the road and was able to get the vehicle towed to the dealership in castle rock, co. Currently i'm standing by for the mechanics diagnosis. Of note, i do see several similar write-ups of this problem on the nhtsa site regarding the 2015 f150. Ironically, a similar occurrence (ref. Nhstsa id#11083485) happened right up the road from me in castle rock, co (4/5/18). I hope ford is aware of this extremely dangerous, recurring problem within its f150 fleet. |
