| Description of the problem | Hill assist and autotrac malfunction. 2016 ford f-150, less than 8,000 miles. Warning indicator suddenly comes on and vehicle loses all power going from highway speed to 2mph in seconds without warning. Happened 4 times in two weeks on straight, level road, dry and clear conditions. One time was on the highway at 65mph, others were city roads around 25-35mph. One time was after a normal right turn, others just randomly while traveling straight. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the throttle body but researching online, this appears to be a common problem with f-150s. There should be a recall considering the danger posed from a vehicle that suddenly loses power and decelerates without warning. I also read another account where replacing the throttle body did not solve the issue so it remains to be seen if this fix works on my vehicle. |
