2016 Ford F-150 Forward collision avoidance Problems

“This afternoon when it started to rain I turned on my wipers only to discover they would not turn on. I managed to get off the road and even tried swapping fuses, but the wipers still wouldn’t turn on. I had my child in the car and this was a very dangerous situation! Ford is telling me that the wiper recall doesn’t cover my truck. Help!”

“When I’m driving my truck’s transmission wants to down shift to first gear at highway speeds making the rear wheels lock up doing 60 plus mph at random times and ford is aware of the issue this could have put me and my small children in a car accident I could only imagine what a first time driver would do”

“Intermittently, when using my adaptive cruise control at freeway speeds, the breaks are suddenly applied hard when there is no car in front of me. It has happened several times. So far, it hasn't caused any loss of control, but it does cause cars behind me to slam on their brakes. It generally would slow the car 30-40 mph suddenly, without warning. The date and mileage I am showing below is the last time it happened. It has been happening since the vehicle was new in 2016, but without being able to recreate the problem for the dealer, I didn't notify them. …”

“I was driving vehicle to work. Going approximately 70 mph, the truck suddenly lost the ability to accelerate and starts running very rough, like it lost a cylinder. Then the collision warning comes on the dash and advanced trac icon and then the manual icon with the wrench that says check manual. I coast down the hill from the far left lane to the slow lane and take the first exit off the freeway and pull to the side of road. Shut the vehicle off, wait 30 seconds, try again starts right up and acts like no problem. Happened three times since. Same thing every time”

“Driving vehicle after about 20min of run time the transmission downshifts hard and all or most driver assistance feature warnings alert they are not functioning. Engine RPMS raise but vehicle does not move. Vehicle got stranded on busy road during rush hour with no ability to move on its' own. Check Engine light and other warnings on dashboard. Later diagnosis with a scan tool and pin point testing verified that the Lead Frame inside the transmission has failed at 80k miles. More concerning than early failure is the safety problem this poses. …”
