2016 FORD F-150 — Complaint #1921595
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:MANIFOLD PRESSURE (MAP) SENSOR filed August 23, 2023
NHTSA complaint #1921595 (ODI reference 11540290) concerns a 2016 FORD F-150 and was filed on August 23, 2023. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 23, 2022. The vehicle had 80,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Arkansas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as fuel system, gasoline:fuel injection system:manifold pressure (map) sensor, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD F-150 cohort independently describe similar fuel system, gasoline:fuel injection system:manifold pressure (map) sensor failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2016 FORD F-150 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2016 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the vehicle would shutoff while at a complete stop. The contact stated that the failure occurred intermittently, causing the contact to depress the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal simultaneously to prevent the failure from occurring while at a complete stop. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle hesitated to respond while depressing the accelerator pedal. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the intake manifold had failed and needed to be replaced; however, the part was not available for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer was contacted and informed the contact that the parts were on backorder. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
