My fiance and I were driving down the highway, with no cruise control on, and suddenly my sensors go off as if I was about to hit something. Then after a second (probably was only a split-second, but it felt like forever), it went away. If adaptive cruise control would have been enabled, this would have caused the brakes to automatically press (I know because this has happened to me before). I was passing a semi, if that helps. This is a very dangerous issue (sensors thinking they are going to hit something, when it should be nothing). I wish I had a video of it happening, but it only has happened 3 times for at most 3 seconds in the the 1.5 years I have owned the vehicle.

While driving vehicle on highway and going to pass another vehicle when passing all of a sudden the vehicle will go from 70 mph and drop to around 40 mph with out no indication it's going to do this. Now this vehicle will do this anytime on highway you don't have to be passing anyone.

Despite being in the dealers repair shop for warranty work for 33 days including a factory recall on the adaptive cruise control, the unit continues to malfunction. The latest event occurred on August 24, 2016 while traveling at 77mph with the adaptive cruise control engaged. Without warning or cause the collision control system fully deployed to include hard braking, windshield warning lights, instrument cluster warning, and audible warning. Result is that the vehicle dramatically slows very quickly creating a potentially major problem if there were vehicles following closely behind. This in addition to the sudden nature of the warning and vehicle "take over" by the system could cause momentary driver panic! dealer has stated a willingness to work on the vehicle again, but says they can only re-do what they have already done multiple times.

While using adaptive cruise control mode at highway speeds both day and night my vehicles forward collision avoidance system has mistakenly applied the brakes suddenly reducing the vehicle speed abruptly. Night time instance was going under a expressway overpass center lane no other vehicles in area. Day time in hov lane and moderate traffic flow but no one within ten car lengths. Only 1000 miles on vehicle. I have deactivated the adaptive cruise control in vehicle settings. Vehicle just outside of production date of recall. Two purchased new 7/28/2016. To be reported to dealer.

The advance track warning light and fuel assist start warning lit up then the engine speed decreased to 1000 rpms and no acceloration available this happened on ann state highway from 70 mph dropping down to 10 mph this took over 30 days to fix. Seemed to be missed diagnosed for weeks. Mechanics unable to find problem. Parts were shipped and delayed and lost. Wiring harnesses and PCM and finally throttle body seemed to correct the problem. Mixed up because computer told mechanics one thing but really another.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford F-150. While driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle suddenly experienced unintended acceleration and the accelerator pedal erroneously depressed to the floorboard. The cruise control was not operating at the time of the failure. When the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle continued to accelerate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not duplicated. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 72,000.

My girlfriend and I were driving down the highway on a sunny day at around 70 mph. I was using adaptive cruise control. There were other cars on the road, but none within distance to affect my speed/cruise control (they were all way ahead or behind). All of a sudden, for about a half second, my truck flashed the warning light and sound as if I was going to hit something, and it automatically pressed the brake for me. It was very scary and dangerous. Then it came out of the warning and we continued on our way (we were in a bit of shock). I of course turned off the adaptive cruise control so the vehicle was under my complete control. Thinking back, I'm wondering if the shadow from an overpass caused my truck to think there was a vehicle close and an impending crash. Either way, it was very unsafe, and I'm hoping it doesn't happen again to me, or anyone else.

Vehicle w/ less than 3,800 miles. Placed vehicle in drive and the rpms spiked and vehicle took off. Hard braked to gain control of vehicle the tires continued to spin on road surface. Forced the vehicle into park until the rmps dropped to normal range than placed into drive again, but with out incident.

While driving on the highway using the adaptive cruise control, the vehicle may falsely detects an obstacle in its path and may unexpectedly apply the brakes. This issue has been addressed by NHTSA campaign number: 15V-614, but my vehicle was not part of the recall. I believe my (and perhaps other peoples) vehicle should have been included in the campaign.

- Irving, TX, USA

The contact owns a 2015 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at 70 mph, the vehicle abruptly decelerated. The wrench and limp mode warning lights illuminated while the failure occurred. The contact was able to coast on to the road shoulder and restarted the engine however; the vehicle did not regain acceleration. The vehicle was towed to the dealer whom performed a diagnostic that located a failure code at the throttle body. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 76,000.

While using adaptive cruise control the car will inexplicably break when it sees shadows in the road. Usually happening while traveling under a bridge on highway. Car will drop speed from 70 mph to approximately 40 mph with sudden breaking?

- Massillon, OH, USA

While driving - complete shut down of vehicle - loss of steering and acceleration. System warning says advance trac warning and shows a picture of a wrench. Stopped the vehicle - restarted and continued to happen. Very dangerous as it happened while driving - had to coast to the side of the road.

Jan. 13, 2016 while traveling South on route 17, in North Carolina towards raleigh, the sipped limit was 70 mph. I looked down and noticed I was moving at 80 mph, based on the dash speedometer. When I let off the gas pedal, the truck slowed down but the speedometer remained at 80 mph. I changed my digital setting from fuel economy to digital mph and noticed this mode seemed to be accurate, however the dash speedometer remained at 80 mph. My wife took a video of the problem with her phone. By the time we arrived in raleigh, nc, the dash mounted speedometer was close to 100 mph. We parked for several hours while attending a meeting with the senator. On the way home and heading back North on route 17, the speedometer started dropping back. By the time we got home, the speedometer was only off by approximately 5 mph compared to the digital speedometer. Parked the truck in the garage over night. When using the truck the following day, the speedometer seemed to matched up again. Dealer replaced the entire instrument cluster in order to correct the issue.

When using the adaptive cruise control, and when passing large trucks, the F-150 suddenly brakes as if it were about to crash, yet there is nothing in front of the vehicle. This has occurred 6 times at full highway speeds when passing big trucks that are in in right lane. It is a little scary if someone is tailgating - the good part is that using the accelerator will stop the braking. I took it to dealer and they were clueless. I've only had truck 30 days.

- Cathedral City, CA, USA

I previously reported that my vehicle had repeated experienced improper activation of the adaptive cruise control (and sometime collision avoidance system) and sudden braking at highway speed when passing certain large trucks. Recently Ford notified me of their (saftey recall) field service action number: 15S29 and on 5 November 2015 I took my truck to my local Ford dealer where they performed the work for recall 15S29. I took my first interstate trip following the repair on 9 November, a total distance of 74 miles, during this trip the adaptive cruise control again activated my brakes one time unexpectedly while passing a large truck. The safety recall repair has not solved the problem with my truck.

- Jennings, LA, USA

The truck's adaptive cruise control system would brake for no apparent reason. I had the issued safety recall performed on the truck Nov 2, 2015. The dealership report said that the recall was performed and working properly. That evening the truck again started breaking for no reason. I had installed a dash cam the Saturday prior to the recall repair. I have video footage of what was going on in front of the truck that caused it to apply the breaks. I had the cruise control set at 51mph, the 2 distance spacing, and the truck slowed it self down to 39 mph then sped back up again. I know I cannot attach a video to this report, but I am have it available to email.

- Texarkana, TX, USA

When using the adaptive cruise control, and when passing large trucks, the F-150 suddenly and without warning brakes as if it were about to crash, yet there is nothing in front of the vehicle. This has occurred three times at full highway speeds when passing larger vehicles in an inside lane of interstate highways. This sudden and unexpected braking has almost caused three accidents and very nearly caused me to lose control of the vehicle.
