2011 FORD F-150 Electrical System Problems

Orchid Isle Ford in Hilo has replaced the electronic power steering rack and pinion already once but now it’s gone bad again.I don’t understand why because I hardly drive my truck and it has only 40 something thousands miles on it

The first indication of problems came when I tried to put the truck in gear and I noticed that the reverse light didn't come on and it wouldn't engage into the gear then as I was traveling down a three-lane highway in the middle lane the car started jerking and like it didn't want to go and then I got to a red light and the truck would not move so I was stuck in the central lane but after engaging the gear several times I managed to get the vehicle into a gas station parking lot where I call the dealership after finding out that I had the trouble code that was referred in the recall and the vehicle was towed to Duval I mean it was told to Hogan forward on Atlantic boulevard .where it's now under inspection.

Was starting to accelerate out of a toll booth a vehicle and was about 60mph when suddenly the engine shut off. Electrical worked. Got mechanical symbol and then oil pressure low warning. It started to down shift and slow rapidly in traffic. Managed to get to side of road but almost got hit. Got it towed to dealer and the fuel pump fuse had melted. Shutting off the fuel pump.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150. The contact stated that after the dealer had reprogrammed the PCM under NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V075000 (Power Train), the vehicle started to experience failures. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle downshifted to first gear unintendedly. The powertrain warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road. The contact resumed driving; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed to the residence. Additionally, the contact stated that the brake lights, the hazard lights, the turn signal lights, and the infotainment system and the A/C system became inoperable after the recall repair. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the failure might be related to the electrical system. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

The electronic power steering locked up while driving & could not turn the wheel at all. Yes this has been inspected & confirmed by an independent service center. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to this incident. The vehicle is render useless with the locked up steering.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted to a lower gear. The contact stated that the odometer became inoperable. The contact stated that the failure was linked to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V075000 (Power Train). The contact called the local dealer and was informed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

I’ve had this specific issue happened a few times over the last year. Basically, my truck will get stuck in first gear, a wrench will pop up on the dashboard, and my odometer will go blank. Usually, my truck will stay in first gear until I put it in park and shut off the truck (to kind of “reset it”) and then crank it back up. Sometimes it takes multiple cycles of this. One time, I got stuck in third gear and had to use manual to shift it down to first gear (while driving), and then do the steps previously mentioned to “reset it”. Because of this, my truck has thrown a P0720 code. After research, it seems like the problem is with the molded lead frame. I have contacted multiple Ford dealerships, and they are definitely aware of the issue because each time they tell me that this issue used to be covered under warranty. The problem is, every dealership has said that this warranty expired some time ago (before I own the truck and before this started happening). Now they are saying the only way to prevent it is to spend $1600 for them to fix it. I don’t have $1600 to drop on a safety issue that is beyond my control. Especially since Ford knows about it. I have a video showing the last time it happened. I really hope this gets fixed because I do not want to be driving 60 miles an hour on the highway and suddenly drop into first gear.

While operating vehicle at highway speeds the speedometer suddenly drops to zero and the transmission downshifts to first gear without warning. Apparently a failure of the transmission speed sensor. (?) A driver unaware of this issue that continues to drive results in excessive heat and pressure developing in the differential..A recall has been issued by NHTSA but Ford and the local dealer refused to address the problem because my VIN was not included in the recall.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle unexpectedly downshifted. The contact stated that the wheels were shaking. Upon starting the vehicle, the vehicle failed to shift out of first gear. The contact stated that the odometer was inoperable. The contact pulled over and restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle operated as designed. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the powertrain warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was like NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V248000 (Power Train). The local was dealer was contacted but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact called another local dealer, Hacienda Ford of Kingsville (2501 US-77, Kingsville, TX 78363); but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the local dealer and the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 105,000.

Ford has a "safety compliance" which has an expiration date of 10 years or 150,000 whichever was first. How is that even allowed? A major issue with the transmission range sensor which doesn't show a driver what gear there in...the lights all disappear so driver doesn't know if there in P, R, D, N, etc...its extremely dangerous! It also forces my truck to go into limp mode which is very dangerous especially when driving down a highway at 55. The truck was "reprogrammed" a few years back to stop the sudden downshift issue from occurring but it didn't eliminate that problem. Do you know how scary it is to be driving down the highway at 55-60 WITH YOUR TODDLER IN THE BACK...and then your truck suddenly on its own shifts down to 1st gear and there's nothing driver csn do but hope they don't hit or get hit by another vehicle?? These are just a few major issues I've had with the truck since buying it 5 years ago. I've barely drove rhe thing since the sudden downshift occurred and could have killed my son and I. The back window quit working. The transmission seems to have alot of issues and I was told because I am past 10 years..yet still under the 150,000 miles id have to pay full price for the backordered part through Ford only which was quoted at $470.00 and that doesn't include any labor. Ford is letting people down majorly. I wish I never bought the truck because it was so exciting to finally have a nice vehicle only to be let down in numerous areas. I drive my 1989 suburban more than my truck due to safety issues and because I am not going to spend thousands on it for an issue that they know has been a major problem for so many customers but yet it wasnt ever an official recall. Total BS!! I can't even believe they can get away with such issues. It's appalling and I'm beyond disappointed with my basically useless truck.

My truck truck won't start. We could jump it and it would be fine. I took it to ford and found out it was a bad Body control module and there was a nationwide backorder. I found on line a recall for other F-150 but didn't included mine. I was able to have mine repaired. Now I was pulling my camper home from Maine, parked the truck at home. The next morning I had a notice on the dash to have power steering serviced, found out the rack and pinion is bad. Again found others on-line with the same issue. I am lucky it didn't happen while towing or when my wife was driving. I also now have the same issues with a 2012 F-150. I feel like it needs to be investigated and Ford needs to make it right. I will fill out a complaint for the 2012 truck.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted. The check engine and another unknown warning light were illuminated. The tachometer and speedometer were inoperable. The contact pulled over, and the transmission remained stuck in first gear. The vehicle was restarted, but the failure persisted. The contact was able to drive to the residence. The contact stated that the dealer had previously replaced the engine and determined that the transmission position sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V075000 (Power Train); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 250,000.

There is an active recall for my specific year/make/model - yet I'm being told it doesn't apply to my vehicle - but my vehicle is absolutely having the exact issue described in the recall. How do I get this resolved? The issue is that my vehicle will unexpectedly downshift, (I believe into first gear, based on the RPM's that I get stuck at) almost always while I am driving at freeway speeds. When this happens, an orange wrench appears in my dashboard warning indicator for a brief moment, then I lose all gauges - my digital displays literally just turn to blank dashes as I lose power and the ability to accelerate. My gauges all drop to as if the vehicle isn't even on, my speedometer displays "--" and my RPM's remain at approximately 1500 regardless of whether I try to accelerate or decelerate. If I decelerate, because I'm in the improper gear for the speed I'm traveling - I will not be able to accelerate. The only way for me to resolve the issue is to try and find somewhere to safely pull over, put the vehicle in park, turn the engine off, wait a few moments and then restart the engine. This happens without warning and at random. Sometimes multiple times in a day, sometimes not at all for a couple of weeks. I don't understand how my vehicle is exempt from the recall. This has been ongoing for several months now. Thank you for your consideration

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH, the speedometer became inoperable, the vehicle hesitated to respond while depressing the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle shifted sluggishly into gear.

Over the last few months on at least 15 occasions my transmission has tried to downshift into 1st gear while traveling highway speeds (55-65). Causing the tires lock up but I have always caught it and shifted into neutral to not cause any problems. After researching it sounds like this is a VERY COMMON issue that apparently hasn't been resolved with Fords TSB and software reflash. Also, while this happens my speedometer goes to zero and a wrench screen come up on the instrument panel for a split second.

Fuel Pump Fuse - 27 melted. Is a common problem according to Internet forums on 2010-2014 models.

Transmission Range Sensor issues causing the truck did not recognize the gear correctly. Cluster did not recognize(light did not turn on) when the car is on gears. I called the dealer and they recognize is a issue on the F-150 of year 2011 - 2012.

Just out of no where the vehicle stoped and wouldn’t go into gear

While driving the steering locked up, steering assist came up, and something about steering sensor. Very dangerous going down highway and steering locks up on you. They need a recall on 2011 Ford F150 Electronic Steering.

We took our vehicle to Woodhouse Ford in Omaha, NE (72nd St Location) for the 19S07-6R80 Sudden Transmission Downshift-Powertrain Control Module Programming Recall. It was supposedly fixed with a software update. Not long after we experienced the PRNDL Illumination and Backup Lamp Activation (Recall 12C23) Symptom. We were told, while this is a known issue and a recall for other 2011 Ford F-150s, your vehicle’s specific VIN is not “officially in the recall”. Thus, your bill is $867.26 and $636.57 for the associated repairs; transmission leadframe, the backing light issue, and an associated parasitic leak. We pay, we get the vehicle back with no resolution of the parasitic leak and now a backing camera that no longer works (Blue Screen)…was working just fine prior. We now learn that the backing camera is a recall in other Fords…but not OUR VIN. Woodhouse quotes another $900 (New Backup Camera) and another $450 for the unresolved parasitic leak—which they had previously declared was resultant the leadframe malfunction.

The below was sent to me, It is difficult for me to understand why I was not told the recall expired in 2016 when I made the appointment (6-6-23) and when I handed my property over (6-12-23) to this dealership. Thank you for the diagnostic, it was very helpful, but, I still run the danger of crashing due to my breaks not pressing down when the pump goes out and the option to get FORD to fix it expired in 2016, My VIN is registered and I did not get a notice, I would gladly give this shop the $$ to fix the 2016 recall that expired. Now, that business will go to your competitor. If you were not aware of the expiration, I get that, but, you are a shop specifically designed for my Ford, again, thank you for the diagnostic but the way it was done I can't trust this shop or get other females to come there. Keep Jeff, do not run him off, his soul and manners feel safe and trusting, he treated me very well and I know he did what he was told to do by whoever was in charge. There is no need to contact me moving forward, but, this very email will be submitted to all the proper authorities (NHTSA.GOV, FTC.GOV, FORD.COM) when I hold FORD and others accountable. I work very hard for the life I have grown accustomed to.

It was a really cold night. My niece got in my truck in the passenger side back door. When we got to the grocery store 10 minutes later, that door refused to open. When I hit the lock/unlock button, it didn't even sound like it engaged at all in that door panel. The manual lock could neither be pushed down or pulled up. As soon as it got warm out again, the door opened and the locking mechanism worked just fine.

My truck has been shifting hard..or taking a very long time to shift into gear. When I put the truck into reverse it doesn't indicate/light up the R-reverse light on dashboard which is dangerous not knowing what gear the truck is actually in..after quite some time it will slam or thud hard into reverse but still doesn't illuminate on the dash...then when switching into drive it slams very hard into gear. My acceleration has also been acting up and does not accelerate normal anymore. It's very sluggish and slow to get going which is very dangerous sometimes when entering a highway. I've also been going 40-50 mph and suddenly I lose power and my truck slows down and I have no control over it..hitting the gas only revs engine but does nothing. My reverse lights don't work sometimes either and my rear window has also quit working. I have contacted the locao ford dealer about these issues and the person was not only rude but was without doubt trying to rush me off the phone and told me they were booked up for many weeks and it'd be awhile before I could get the truck looked at...I bought thus truck in November 2019 and had taken it in for a recall that they had to do a quick reprogramming...come to find out there was also at the time a safety recall which "expired'" at 10 years or 150000 miles which is IMO total nonsense and unprofessional of Ford to not make this a real recall that they are required to fix knowing the many issues thousands of vehicles are having due to there negligence when they were built. It's not right to have there customers pay thousands out of there pockets to replace parts that are known to quit working properly and cause many safety issues for people driving the faulty vehicles. We are already paying monthly payments and the only thing the expired safety compliance/ not actual recall is doing for Ford is making them lose loyal customers. I truly worry about the unsafe occurrences that may happen with my child in my truck now and it's not right

Traveling down the highway the vehicle Ford F150 (part of an earlier recall 190v075000 Powertrain - taken to dealership for service) suddenly shifted into first gear, it was hard to control the vehicle for a moment, then the vehicle shifted in another higher gear and I was able to pull over, to the side of the road The computer was reset at the dealer and all appeared to be well when two days later, it did the same thing. There have been issues with the vehicle to go into a flooding kind of stall and the computer screen would go blank. After, stopping and turning off the truck would be ok. This vehicle is a danger to myself and others to drive. I live in a rural area 60 miles from the nearest dealership, where it is difficult to get an appointment and have been left stranded by the roadside, more than once. Fred Shumate, Dixon NM

Driving down residential street about 100 yards from my driveway and power steering completely failed. Dashboard message says steering assist fault. Luckily school hadn't let out yet so there weren't any kids running around. I was able to get the truck in my drive safely. I am having it towed to certified repair garage. Safety first. I've learned that this is a fairly common issue and that it can happen at highway speeds. Not cool Ford. Do better.

My vehicle is experiencing the same issues that were identified under recall 16V-248 with the exact same year, make and model vehicle. Several times, while driving at high speeds, the vehicle will display a wrench logo (MIL) and the vehicle will either downshift to 1st gear or completely lose all power to the pedal. After turning the ignition off and back on, for a period of time the vehicle will only move in 1st gear, will not downshift and the speedometer will not move. The check engine light will illuminate for a period of a few days and will without reason turn back off until the downshifting happens again.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle experienced a loss of motive power. Additionally, the turn signal failed to deactivate after turning and the instrument panel displayed a blank image. The vehicle was not yet diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.

The fan blower on the heat and air shorts out. The back up camera doesn't work.

Car downshifted at higher rate of speed causing engine to rev and transmission grind. Speedometer went out wheels locked. Felt like I got hit from behind

While driving on the interstate my truck suddenly flashed a wrench on the display. At that point the truck shifted by itself into a lower gear almost causing an accident and for me to lose control of the truck. When this happened the speedometer stopped working and went to zero and the mileage disappeared and showed all dashes. Once I turn the ignition off, it seems to fix the problem for the short term, but after 20-30 mins it does the exact same thing again. This happened for the first time 3 weeks ago and has happened 5 or 6 times since. I have stopped driving the truck. Ford could not tell me specifically what was wrong with the truck because they couldn't recreate the error due to the fact that they wouldn't drive it for 20-30 mins for the problem to occur.

Vehicle locked up while driving on highway and almost caused crash. Vehicle had to be towed to dealership where they identified the issues as battery junction box fuse 27 crank no start, loss of RPM and/or malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)illumined with multiple dtcs.

NOTHING WILL WORK AND IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLACE DOOR LATCH MECHANISM WITH DOOR CLOSED.N BASED ON INTERNET SEARCHES, THIS IS NOT A RARE OCCURRENCE. DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE IF IN AN ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY IF AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.

I PURCHASED MY 2011 F150 ECOBOOST IN USED CONDITION IN 2014. THE PRIMARY USE FOR MY TRUCK IS AROUND TOWN ERRANDS AND HAULING LIGHT LOADS. FOR SOMETIME NOW I HAVE HAD ISSUES, LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED AS WELL, DURING ACCELERATION AT 45+MPH THE ENGINE LOSES IT'S POWER, SHUDDERS AND STALLS. ONCE THERE IS A REDUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF THROTTLE, IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES TO REGAIN "NORMAL" DRIVING CONDITIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, MY FAMILY AND I WERE COMING HOME FROM FLORIDA ON THE PARKWAY, IN JULY AND WITH NO ABNORMAL WEATHER CONDITIONS, AND AS I WAS ASCENDING A GRADE ABOUT 75 MILES PER HOUR AND A SEMI TRUCK BEHIND ME, I GAVE THE TRUCK MORE THROTTLE AND IT BEGAN TO SHUDDER VIOLENTLY, A SUBTLE BACKFIRE, AND LOST POWER AND COULD NOT REGAIN THROTTLE RESPONSE. I QUICKLY MOVED THE TRUCK INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND HAD LET THE TRUCK RETURN TO A NORMAL IDLE, TOOK A FEW MINUTES, BEFORE ALMOST GETTING INTO A SERIOUS COLLISION WITH THE SEMI-TRUCK. OVER THE PAST YEARS I HAVE JUST DEALT WITH THE ISSUE AND HAVE TAKEN IT TO MECHANICS AND SCANNED THE TRUCK WITH NO ERROR CODES OR ISSUES, UNTIL JUST RECENTLY. THE MECHANIC SCANNED IT AND IT SHOWED MISFIRES ON #4 AND #6. HE REPLACED THE COIL AND PLUG HOPING THAT WOULD BE THE CURE, BUT WITH NO LUCK IT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. I'M RELUCTANT TO DROP ANOTHER $250.00 TO REPLACE THE REST OF THE COILS, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I DO NOT HAVE DISPOSABLE INCOME AND THE TRUCK IS PAID FOR, I AND CAN'T AFFORD TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE. I ENJOY MY F150 AND PLAN ON KEEPING IT UNTIL THE WHEELS FALL OFF. I HAVE READ POST AFTER POST AND VIDEO'S THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES, BUT IT SEEMS NO ONE IS WILLING TO STEP FORWARD AND MAKE THE COMPLAINT. I WANT THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED AND I HOPE FORD WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR A LIFE IS TAKEN OVER THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS ON THE ROAD WHEN MY TRUCK STARTED TO SMELL BURNED AND THE TRUCK WAS BURNING. IT WAS TOTALLY LOST. WE WERE 4 PEOPLE WHO WERE UP AND WE WERE ALSO BURNED.

AT APPROXIMATELY 8 IN THE MORNING ON 12/2/2018 I WAS AT A STOP GETTING READY TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, I HAD THE WINDOW DEFROSTER/HEAT ON, AS WELL AS THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER. OVER THE LAST YEAR THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY BUT THE DEFROSTER HAS ALWAYS WORKED. AS I STARTED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE, I HEARD A LOUD POP AND THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD THROWN SOMETHING AT MY TRUCK, BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AND ABOUT A MILE LATER, I GOT OUT AND LOOKED AT THE ROOF FOR ANY SIGN OF SOMETHING HITTING THE ROOF, WHEN I NOTICED A STEADY TRAIL OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR WINDOW AREA, NOTICED THAT THE RUBBER HAD MELTED AND THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED COMPLETELY. I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER CIRCUIT, I HAVE SINCE REMOVED THE FUSE FOR THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER WHICH DISABLES MY MIRROR HEATERS. I REQUEST THAT NHTSA INVESTIGATES THIS FURTHER AS THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF CASES OF THIS ISSUE AND IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND FORD IS AWARE OF IT. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS IT COULD HARM A CHILD OR SOMEONE SITTING IN THE BACKSEAT IF THE GLASS SHATTERS AND BLOWS OUT OF THE FRAME AS WELL AS SCARING SOMEONE CAUSING THEM TO REACT BY BRAKING, STEERING, ETC. AND POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. AS FAR AS I KNOW, FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL AND HAS DENIED RESPONSIBILITY. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED FREE OF CHARGE ON FORD'S BEHALF BASED ON THE FACT THAT IT IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

I TOOK IT TO A BELLE TIRE NEARBY AND THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, SAYING THE DEALER HAD TO UPDATE THE ABS MODULE AND GAVE ME A PRINTOUT OF TSB 12-11-18 [ATTACHED SCAN]. THEY CIRCLED DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES C1278 AND C1963 AS THE ONES THAT POPPED UP IN THEIR ANALYSIS. I FIND NO RECALLS OF THIS ITEM, BUT THE STEERING ISSUE IS CERTAINLY DANGEROUS.

THE SPEAKER WENT OUT IN MY BACK LEFT DOOR, SO I TOOK THE DOOR APART TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. I TESTED THE SPEAKER AND IT WORKED FINE, SO I STARTED WORKING MY WAY BACK THROUGH THE WIRING HARNESS. WHEN I TOUCHED THE HARNESS WHERE IT GOES FROM THE DOOR TO THE BODY (IN THE DOOR JAM) THE SPEAKER STARTED WORKING. I REMOVED THE HARNESS FROM THE DOOR AND PULLED BACK THE RUBBER BOOT IN THE DOOR JAM. EVERYTHING WAS STILL WRAPPED IN FACTORY HARNESS WRAP, AND WHEN I EXPOSED THE WIRES, THE SPEAKER WIRES WERE SEVERED AND MOST OF THE WIRES IN THE BUNDLE HAD CRACKED INSULATION. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF BEING PINCHED OR DAMAGED EXTERNALLY, AND I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN THIS WAS JUST FROM THE BENDING MOTION EVERY TIME THE DOOR WAS OPENED AND CLOSED. I BUILD CUSTOM AUTOMATED MACHINES FOR A LIVING AND WE ALWAYS USE FLEX RATED CABLE FOR APPLICATIONS LIKE THIS. SO THIS LOOKS LIKE THEY USED CHEAP WIRE WITH INSULATION THAT IS NOT RATED FOR THE NUMBER OF BEND CYCLES A DOOR GOES THROUGH. LUCKILY THE POWER WIRES FOR THE WINDOW REGULATOR AND DOOR SWITCH HAD NOT SHORTED OUT DESPITE THE COPPER BEING EXPOSED. I AM VERY CONCERNED THE REST OF MY DOORS ARE SUFFERING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS COULD LEAD TO NOT BEING ABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR, NOT BEING ABLE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW IN AN EMERGENCY, OR EVEN A FIRE IF THE POWER WIRES SHORTED OUT.

I'VE HAD SEVERAL OCCASION OF THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT TURN ON AND THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED. JUST RECENTLY I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND AT A SMALL ANGLE AND THE TRUCK COMPLETELY STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING. I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP WITHOUT ANY POWER STEERING UNTIL IT FINALLY STOPPED. I TRIED TO CRANK IT OVER BUT IT WOULDN'T START. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES IT FINALLY STARTED WITHOUT ISSUE. I'VE HAD IT STALL TWICE WHILE I LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF MY TRUCK AND IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAD TO TOW IT TO MY DEALERSHIP AGAIN TODAY. I THINK I MAY HAVE FINALLY FOUND THE ISSUE WHICH MAY POINT TO A FAULTY 20AMP FUEL PUMP FUSE. I FOUND SOME ARTICLES POINTING TO FUSE 27 AND SURE ENOUGH IT WAS BURNT ON ONE SIDE. I AM COMPLETELY SHOCKED THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND NOT ISSUING A MANDATORY RECALL UNTIL ALL THESE TRUCKS ARE FIXED.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT 35-40 MPH. HEARD A LOUD BANG, NOTICED MY DRIVERS SIDE REAR SLIDING WINDOW IS NOW SHATTERED. CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP THEY HAD NO IDEA OF THIS HAPPENDING. CALLED FORD CUSTOMER CARE, THEY HAD NO IDEA OF THIS EITHER. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ON THE INTERNET KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE EXCEPT FORD AND THEIR DEALERS.

IN MAY 2015 MY 2011 FORD F150 3.5L ECOBOOST BEGAN MAKING A BUZZING NOISE IN THE FRONT LEFT FENDER WELL UNDER THE HOOD. FROM THAT TIME FORWARD THE TRUCK MAKES THE NOISE UPON START-UP. ONCE THE VEHICLE RUNS FOR A WHILE THE NOISE SEEMS TO FADE AWAY BUT RETURNS UPON RESTART. A TECHNICIAN TRIED TO DIAGNOSE THE NOISE AT A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE NOISE HAS GOTTEN WORSE WHICH PROMPTED ME TO TAKE THE TRUCK BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO DIAGNOSE AGAIN. THIS TIME I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE MATTER AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS SOME CONCERN ABOUT THE VACUUM PUMP IN SOME OF THESE MODEL TRUCKS. UPON PICKING UP MY TRUCK THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT HE THOUGHT IT WAS THE VACUUM PUMP AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE PART IS ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH FORD AT THIS TIME. I MADE AND APPOINTMENT WITH THE FORD DEALERSHIP WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THE NOISE. HE WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM AND SAID THAT 9/10 TIMES THE VACUUM PUMP IS THE PROBLEM. HE EXPLAINED THAT FORD HAD SWITCHED VENDORS FOR THE PART AND REDESIGNED THE PUMP IN NEWER MODELS AND ISSUED A (TSB) REGARDING THE PUMP. SINCE MY TRUCK WAS JUST OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD HE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, WHICH WAS QUOTED AT MORE THAN $900. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER UNTIL MID AUGUST 2015 AND THAT I SHOULD SCHEDULE TO HAVE THE REPAIR COMPLETED THEN. I ASKED IF THERE WAS A SAFETY HAZARD ASSOCIATED WITH CONTINUED DRIVING AND HE SAID, "NO, THE ONLY THING THAT COULD HAPPEN IS YOU COULD LOSE YOUR BRAKES OR POSSIBLY 4 WHEEL DRIVE, BUT YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE BRAKES ARE HEAVY IF ITS GOING OUT COMPLETELY." I FEEL THAT FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART THAT THEY ACKNOWLEDGE AS A PROBLEM AND HAVE REDESIGNED, AND WHICH CAN CAUSE BRAKE OR 4 WHEEL DRIVE FAILURE PUTTING MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS AT RISK.

WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION, I FOUND IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW PANEL THAT HAD SHATTERED DUE TO THE DEFROSTER OVERHEATING AND WAS STILL INTACT BECAUSE OF THE FACTORY TINT APPLIED TO THE INVOLVED WINDOW.

TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (APPLE FORD IN RED LION, PA) I PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEY SAID THE ALTERNATOR IS BAD AND CHARGING TOO MUCH. THERE STATED THAT THERE ARE NO AFTER MARKET ALTERNATORS FOR THIS MAKE AND YEAR. SO AFTER PAYING $1055.00 FOR A FORD BRAND ALTERNATOR, THE TRUCK WAS FIXED. THAT IS WAY TOO MUCH MONEY FOR AN ALTERNATOR. IT IS AN OUTRAGE!! I CHECKED AROUND AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THE PRICE OF THIS PART IS ACTUALLY THIS EXPENSIVE.

WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE HAD SEEN 5 OTHER 2010-2011 F-150'S JUST THIS WINTER WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE.

THIS REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED BY FORD AND IN MY OPINION IT SHOULD BE. HERE'S MY STORY: MY HUSBAND OWNS A 2011 F150 WITH APPROXIMATELY 25,000 MILES ON IT. ON DECEMBER 27, 2014 HE TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROSTER TO CLEAR THE WINDOW. AS HE WAS DRIVING LESS THAN A MILE FROM HOME, THE TRUCK HAD BEEN RUNNING ABOUT 3 MINUTES HE SMELLED RUBBER BURNING, AT WHICH TIME THERE WAS THICK WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW AND THE GLASS BEHIND MY GRANDSON'S CAR SEAR SHATTERED DUE TO A SHORT IN THE HEATING ELEMENT OF THE REAR DEFROSTER. FORTUNATELY OUR 18 MONTH OLD GRANDSON WAS NOT IN THE TRUCK AS THE SHARDS OF GLASS WERE FALLING OUT OF THE WINDOW INTO HIS SEAT. FORD WILL NOT COVER GLASS UNDER MY WARRANTY. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE AND I HAVE INCLUDED THE LINK BELOW WHERE YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH FORD F150 TRUCKS RANGING FROM 2010 TO 2014. THE TRUCK IS GETTING REPAIRED TODAY AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY, MORE OF A SAFETY CONCERN FOR REAR SEAT PASSENGERS.

BRAKES WERE DIFFICULT TO ENGAGE DURING EMERGENCY BRAKING DUE TO HARD PEDAL. BRAKING SEEMS MORE DIFFICULT THAN PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE (LIKE HAVING NO BRAKE ASSIST). AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR KNOWN PROBLEMS, I VERIFIED A BLOWN VACUUM PUMP FUSE. THE DEALER VERIFIED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP ASSEMBLY WAS SEIZED THEREFORE BLOWING THE FUSE. I FIND IT CURIOUS WHY A MAJOR BRAKE COMPONENT CAN FAIL WHILE NOT SETTING A FAILURE CODE OR INDICATING A FAILURE ON THE FORD DISPLAY PANEL (CHECK BRAKE LIGHT, ETC.). HOW CAN THE VACUUM ASSIST FOR THE BRAKES TOTALLY FAIL ON A 2011 VEHICLE AND NOT TELL THE DRIVER THERE IS A PROBLEM? WHY DID THE VACUUM PUMP FAIL (INTERNAL PUMP BEARINGS LACKED LUBRICANT AND SEIZED DUE TO ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE) WITH JUST OVER 20000 MILES ON THE TRUCK? WHY WON'T FORD FESS UP THAT THEY SOLD THEIR CUSTOMERS A DEFECTIVE $750.00 PUMP? I GUESS FORD ONLY KNOWS! *TR

I CANT RECALL THE EXACT SEQUENCE, AS IT WAS ALL HAPPENING PRETTY FAST. EVENTUALLY, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM LOST POWER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON THIS VEHICLE, YOU LOSE ALL STEERING CAPABILITY. ITS NOT LIKE ITS JUST MANUAL STEERING, THERE IS NO STEERING OTHER THAN THE ABILITY TO SLIGHTLY ALTER COURSE BY PULLING EXTREMELY HARD ON THE WHEEL. THE VEHICLE HAD NO LIGHTS, THE SHOULDERS WERE UNPLOWED, STOPPING WASN'T A GOOD IDEA. AS GOOD FORTUNE WOULD HAVE IT, THE CICERO NY EXIT PRESENTED ITSELF AT THAT MOMENT. I WAS ABLE TO PULL EXTREMELY HARD ON THE WHEEL AND WAS ABLE TO STEER THE SLIGHT CURVE. AT THE BOTTOM, I DISCOVERED I HAD NO BREAKS. I SHOT ACROSS THE USUALLY BUSY NY 31 AND INTO A KWIKSTOP, WHERE I STOMPED ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND CAME TO A STOP. WE SHORTLY DISCOVERED A FIRE UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE AND WERE ABLE TO EXTINGUISH IT WITH SNOW. I CANNOT BELIEVE A STEERING SYSTEM LIKE THIS IS PERMITTED. HAD I KNOWN IT HAD THIS SYSTEM AND ITS LIMITATIONS, ID NEVER HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR. IF MY SON AND I HAD BEEN KILLED THAT NIGHT, IT WOULD HAVE ALL BEEN CHALKED UP TO ROAD CONDITIONS. IN FURIOUS ABOUT THIS SYSTEM. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.....NOW. *TR

IT WAS A 20 DEGREE MORNING SO I DECIDED TO USE THE REMOTE START TO WARM UP MY TRUCK BEFORE I WENT TO WORK. I CLIMB INTO THE TRUCK AND GO TO BACK OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SLIDER IS SHATTERED. I'VE NEVER HAULED ANYTHING IN THE BED SO NOTHING WOULD HAVE CAME INTO CONTACT WITH THE WINDOW. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE PLENTY OF FORD OWNERS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED, ONE GENTLEMAN HAD HIS CHILD IN THE BACK WHEN THIS HAPPENED! FORTUNATELY MY CHILDREN WERE NOT WITH ME AT THE TIME THE WINDOW SHATTERED. HOPEFULLY FORD WILL COVER THIS BEING THAT IT'S $800, BUT I'M GUESSING THEY'LL TELL ME IT'S NOT THEY'RE PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IN THE RIGHT LANE, DOING ABOUT 60 MPH. FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON, THE TRUCK SIMPLY SHUT OFF AND LOST ALL POWER. I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER AND WAITED A MINUTE OR SO TO CALM DOWN AND DECIDE WHAT TO DO. I THEN TRIED TO RESTART THE TRUCK, AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I NERVOUSLY DROVE THE REST OF THE 25 MILES OR SO TO MY HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE TRUCK ALSO SEEMED TO RUN FINE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS UNTIL I COULD GET IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE BATTERY WAS BAD (ONLY 2+ YEARS OLD) AND REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY. IT SEEMS ODD TO ME THAT THE BATTERY WAS THE PROBLEM, SINCE THE TRUCK RESTARTED EASILY AND RAN WELL FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. HOWEVER, THE NEW BATTERY DOES SEEM TO HAVE CURED THE PROBLEM AS IT HASN'T REPEATED THE TRAVELING SHUT DOWN. I AM CAUTIOUS AND NERVOUS NOW ABOUT DRIVING OVER IT FOR FEAR IT MIGHT SHUT OFF AGAIN. IT IS ACTUALLY SIMILAR TO WHAT THE GM COBALT OWNERS EXPERIENCED, ALTHOUGH THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE IGNITION RELATED.I HAVE WRITTEN TO FORD TO SEE IF THEY WOULD CONFIRM WHAT THE DEALER TOLD ME - THAT A WEAK BATTERY COULD CAUSE A VEHICLE TO QUIT WHILE RUNNING. I AM HOPING THAT BY DOCUMENTING THIS INCIDENT, I WILL FIND OUT IF OTHER OWNERS OF NEWER F150S HAVE HAD SIMILAR FULL SPEED SHUT DOWNS. I'M TRYING TO DECIDE WHETHER TO KEEP THE TRUCK OR SELL IT BECAUSE I STILL DON'T TRUST IT. *TR

THE DEFROST BUTTON WOULD NOT COME ON PROPERLY. ONCE IT DID, APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 5 MINUTES LATER I HEARD A LOUD POP. THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED BY LOOKING IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR THAT THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE BACK WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. THERE WAS NOTHING INDICATING IT HAD BEEN STRUCK BY ANYTHING. THE ENTIRE WINDOW WAS STILL INTACT. THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 27 DEGREES. 2011 F150 SUPER CREW. *TR

IT WAS 15 DEGREES OUT, I STARTED THE TRUCK SUNDAY MORNING, I PUSHED THE REAR DEFROST BUTTON AND THE LIGHT WOULD NOT COME ON. I WAITED ABOUT 15 MINUTES FOR THE TRUCK TO WARM UP WHEN I GOT INTO THE TRUCK, THE REAR DEFROST BUTTON STILL WAS NOT ILLUMINATED EVEN THOUGH I PUSHED IT A FEW TIMES. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. THERE MUST BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE F150 REAR DEFROST BUTTON. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE NHTSA INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM AND HOLD FORD ACCOUNTABLE. THIS IS NOT SAFE! I AM REQUESTING THAT NHTSA INVESTIGATE THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERING DUE TO A POSSIBLE SHORTAGE WITH THE REAR DEFROSTER BUTTON. I LOOK FORWARD TO READING THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION REPORT WHICH WILL HOLD FORD LIABLE TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED ITEMS. *TR

I STARTED MY VEHICLE ON THE MORNING OF FEB 8TH,AND TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROSTER. WITHIN 1-2 MINUTES I HEARD A POP NOISE AND FOUND THE GLASS PANEL BEHIND THE DRIVERS SIDE (ONE OF 3 GLASS PANELS) HAD SHATTERED. NO OUTSIDE IMPACT,IT JUST SHATTERED. I SEE DOING AN ON-LINE SEARCH THERE ARE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM. I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND WAS TOLD SEEING AS I WAS OUT OF BASIC WARRANTY,THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ASSIST ME WITH THE COST OF REPAIRS. $625.00 + TAX. *TR

I HAVE ALREADY REPORTED THIS PIECE OF JUNK BUT NEEDED TO ADD TO THE LIST?. WE, AS OF LAST WEEK, ARE ON OUR 15TH RENTAL WHILE THE DEALER AND FORD ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHATS WRONG WITH IT AGAIN?. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON SINCE THE WEEK WE BOUGHT THIS JUNK AND IS STILL FLASHING WHILE WE DRIVE?.. THE DEALER HAS ASKED FORD TO PUT IN A NEW ENGINE SEVERAL TIMES BUT FORD FOR SOME REASON WANTS THE DEALER TO JUST KEEP REPLACING THE SAME PARTS OVER AND OVER AGAIN?? WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEW SETS OF PLUGS.. THE OTHERS CRACK AND SHORT OUT? WE'VE HAD CAM PHASERS AND SENSORS REPLACED?? FAST FORWARDING THROUGH MANY PARTS REPEATEDLY REPLACED, THE DEALER NOW SAYS THERE ARE PARTS SHEARED OFF IN THE ENGINE AND ARE ASKING FORD, ONCE AGAIN TO REPLACE THE ENGINE?. WE ARE WAITING ON FORD TO (PROBABLY) DECLINE THE DEALERS RECOMMENDATION?.. FORD STOPPED CALLING US BACK, WE HAVE LEFT SEVERAL MESSAGES AND THEY JUST KEEP PASSING THE BUCK ONTO THE POOR DEALER, WHO HAS BEEN TRYING TO HELP US?.. FORD SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THIS LEMON BACK LONG AGO AND GAVE US A NEW ONE?.. OUR 15TH RENTAL MIGHT BE WITH US FOR SOME TIME WHILE WE WAIT ON AN ANSWER?? WE SOMETIMES HAVE OUR RENTALS FOR OVER A MONTH AT A TIME??. ITS NICE TO KEEP PAYING ON TIME FOR A VEHICLE THAT WE DON'T EVEN HAVE?(SARCASM). *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE AT ABOUT 70-75 MILES PER HOUR. THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND THE TEMPERATURE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50 DEGREES. I ENCOUNTER A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE AND MOVED INTO THE LEFT HAND LANE AND TRIED TO PROMPTLY ACCELERATE TO PASS A SLOWER VEHICLE. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND GO INTO A VERY RAPID DECELERATION. THE VIOLENT VIBRATION OF THE ENTIRE VEHICLE AND RAPID DECELERATION MADE CONTROL A CHALLENGE. I MOVED TO THE RIGHT HAND LANE REDUCED SPEED TO 50 MPH AND CONTINUED ON TO A FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE VEHICLE EVALUATED. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THAT 3 COILS FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VIBRATE AND DECELERATE RAPIDLY. I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. *TR

TRUCK HAS A 36 GALLON GAS TANK. FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT GO TO FULL WHEN FILLED. WHILE DRIVING FUEL GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY AND MESSAGE CENTER COMES ON LOW FUEL 10 MILES TO EMPTY. TANK STILL HAS 20 GALLONS OR MORE IN TANK. WHEN FILLING WITH GAS AFTER THIS HAPPENS THERE IS A HIGH PRESSURE RELEASE OF GAS FUMES FROM THE FILLER NECK WHEN PUMP NOZZLE IS PLACED IN THE NECK. AN AUDIBLE WHOOSH SOUND IS MADE AND THE BUILD UP OF GAS FUMES IS CONSISTENT WITH EVERY TIME THE GAUGE AND MESSAGE CENTER THINK THE TANK IS EMPTY. WHEN STARTING THE TRUCK AFTER THIS OCCURRENCE IT TAKES 2-3 TRIES BEFORE THE ENGINE WILL START. THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP WILL COME ON FOR 3-20 MINUTES BEFORE GOING OFF. THE FORD VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT READS "ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, AMP; EMISSIONS. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SERVICED 8 TIMES WITH NO CORRECTIVE RESULTS. MY MAJOR CONCERN IS THE BUILD UP OF FUMES AND THE POSSIBILITY OF FIRE. IT APPEARS THAT FORD HAS KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM WITH TRUCKS HAVING 36 GALLON TANKS SINCE 2008 BASED ON COMMENTS FROM OTHER OWNERS WHEN I GOOGLED MY PROBLEM. TO THIS DATE FORD DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE ONCE WHEN FIRST BOUGHT SHUT DOWN DURING RAIN CONDITIONS WHEN TRYING TO EXCEL. IT WAS LIKE YOU RAN INTO A WALL. FORD THEN SAID IT WAS A WIRING HARNESS PROBLEM. IT CONTINUED MISSING AT TIMES OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN IN DECEMBER WHILE TRYING TO PASS A VEHICLE AND IT WAS AGAIN DURING RAIN CONDITIONS AND JUST SHUT DOWN IN THE ROAD. WE TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS TSB 13 8 1 AND MADE REPAIRS. VEHICLE NOW DOES NOT RUN RIGHT AND GAS MILEAGE HAS DROPPED BY AT LEST 2.5 MPG. NOTICEABLE POWER LOSS. VEHICLE IS THE FORD 3.5 ECHO BOOST. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM FOR CONSUMERS WHO WANT A TRUCK AND EXPECT POWER WITH GOOD MPG BUT SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID TO DRIVE OR GET A SUPPOSED FIX THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU HAVE PURCHASED. THESE SITUATIONS WILL RESULT INTO SOME VERY BAD ACCIDENTS. I CANT IMAGINE PULLING SOMETHING AND THIS HAPPENS. BOTTOM LINE CONSUMERS DESERVE SAFE RELIABLE VEHICLES. WE LOVE FORDS AND I HATE I AM HAVING TO COMPLAIN BUT THIS IS A REAL BIG PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THANKS!!!! *TR

I APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AND LET OFF THE GAS, AND STARTED TO SLOWDOWN SEVERAL HUNDRED YARDS BEFORE COMING TO INTERSECTION. THE F-150 SUDDENLY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND MY FOOT APPLY AS HARD AS I COULD TO THE BRAKE. THE TRUCK WAS ACCELERATING ON OWN. ABS KICKED IN AND PULSED. BUT AGAIN TRUCK WAS ACCELERATING WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS I COMPLETE MADE SURE FOOT WAS REMOVED AND BOTH FEET ON BRAKES. ATTEMPTED TO PUMP AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER RELATING FROM BRAKE AS PUMPING TO TRY AND STOP AS HARD STOP DIDN'T WORK IT WAS LIKE IT WAS BUILDING UP AND SHOOT OUT LIKE A BULLET AND HIT CAR IN FRONT ME. ONCE HIT THEN QUIT ACCELERATING. THE FRONT LIFTED UP AND FULL ACCELERATING BUT FEET WERE BOTH ON BRAKES. LUCKY NO ONE WAS HURT. SMALL DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLE BECAUSE WAS AS LOW SPEED INTERSECTION. IF THERE WASN'T A VEHICLE IN FRONT ME. I WOULD SHOT INTO INTERSECTION WHERE ONLY WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAVE OCCURRED TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. THIS WAS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION, THAT COULD HAVE GONE REALLY BAD.. END RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BY FORD AND NO ONE ELSE SHOULD BE INJURED OR LIVES TAKEN FROM AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION AND RESOLUTION TO THE VEHICLE OWNERS THAT ARE SCARED TO DRIVE THERE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS OCCURRENCE. FORD NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT AND MAKE SURE ALL VEHICLES THIS IS REPORTED ON ARE SAFE OR TAKEN OUT OF COMMISSION TO MAKE OUR ROADS SAFE FOR OTHERS AND DRIVES.

2011 FORD F150 EQUIPPED WITH 3.5L TURBO CHARGED ENGINE TRAVELING AT 65 MPH BEGAN MISFIRING AND SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED A NEAR TOTAL LOSS OF POWER, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLOW TO 25 MPH QUICKLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY WITH NO SHOULDER AND NO PLACE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. THIS INCIDENT DID NOT POSE AN IMMEDIATE THREAT TO CAR OR DRIVER, BUT UNDER OTHER CONDITIONS SUCH AS OVERTAKING (PASSING) SLOWER TRAFFIC, THE SUDDEN AND NEAR TOTAL LOSS OF POWER COULD BE DISASTROUS. AFTER QUICK RESEARCH AND CONSULTATION WITH THE FORD SERVICE CENTER WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK, I HAVE LEARNED THE VEHICLE ENTERED INTO "LIMP" MODE TO PROTECT ITSELF FROM MECHANICAL DAMAGE. I HAVE ALSO FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS LONG BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF A FEW TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS. ALSO TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, FORD, THROUGH THIS SERIES OF TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN'S HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT IN HOPES THAT THE NHTSA IN COOPERATION WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY CAN PROVIDE A QUICK AND PERMANENT SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE DUE TO AN ENGINEERING FLAW ON A MOTOR VEHICLE. *TR

EVENT OCCURRED 3 TIMES OVER A PERIOD FROM 27 OCT 13 TO 21 NOV 13, DECELERATING WHILE TOWING A TRAILER. SPEED VARIED ALL THREE TIMES FROM A HIGH OF ABOUT 60MPH, TO A LOW OF 45MPH. MESSAGE CENTER WOULD TURN ORANGE AND DISPLAY A WRENCH SYMBOL, WHILE THE ENGINE DISCONTINUES PRODUCING POWER. AFTER PULLING OVER, SIMPLY TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF, THEN RESTARTING, EVERYTHING APPEARS NORMAL AGAIN. TWO FORD DEALERS "FOUND NO CODES", AND WERE UNABLE TO FURTHER DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THE SECOND DEALER ATTEMPTED TO COLLECT DATA VIA AN ONBOARD COMPUTER AS WELL, BUT THE EVENT WOULDN'T REPEAT WHILE THE DEVICE WAS INSTALLED, NOR WAS I TOWING DURING THAT TIME. ONE OF THESE EVENTS OCCURRED ON A TWO LANE ROAD WITH NO SHOULDER AVAILABLE. TRAFFIC HAD TO STOP UNTIL I RESTARTED. DANGEROUS AT BEST. THE THIRD EVEN OCCURRED GOING UP A ONE LANE FREEWAY FLYOVER. I WAS ABLE TO COAST PAST THE BRIDGE STRUCTURES AND ONTO THE SHOULDER, HOWEVER, THIS OCCURRED DURING RAIN, AND MULTIPLE OTHER VEHICLES HAD TO MAKE ACCIDENT AVOIDING MANEUVERS, INCLUDING TRACTOR TRAILER RIGS.

ATTEMPTED TO PASS A CAR. SPEED AT TIME OF ATTEMPT WAS 55MPH. TIME 2:20 P.M. AND PARTLY CLOUDY. TWO LANE ROAD BUT HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO PASS OR AN ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. PUSHED DOWN ON ACCELERATOR AND THE ENGINE ACTUALLY DECREASED SPEED/SIGNIFICANT DECELERATION. I LET UP ON GAS PEDAL, MAINTAINED SPEED THEN WAS GRADUALLY ABLE TO PASS. THINK THE TURBO HAD STALLED. THIS HAD HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE, SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. AT THAT TIME I WAS MERGING ONTO INTERSTATE AND IT STALLED OUT, FOR A SHORTER DURATION. AFTER THE JULY 31 INCIDENT, I TOOK THE TRUCK TO FORD TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE ISSUES SOME OWNERS HAVE HAD ON THE ECO BOAST ENGINE, WHICH I HAVE. NO CODES APPEARED SO I WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. THEN TALKED TO REGIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND GOT THE SAME STORY. I AM VERY CONCERNED AS I USE THE TRUCK TO TOW A 26' TRAILER. WHEN THE ECO BOAST TURBO WORKS, I HAVE PLENTY OF POWER TO MERGE OR PASS. THE ABOVE EXPERIENCE WAS SCARY AND I DID NOT HAVE THE TRAILER BEHIND ME AT THE TIME. NOW I FEEL I CAN NOT REASONABLY DEPEND ON IT TO WORK AS IT SHOULD. I THINK IT IS THE TURBO BUT IT COULD BE THE ELECTRONIC GAS PEDAL, OR THE TRANSMISSION BUT I REALLY DO NOT THINK THESE ARE THE ISSUE. PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU.

I WAS TRAVELING IN THE RIGHTHAND LANE OF THE EAST BOUND SIDE OF I24 AROUND MANCHESTER, TN. MY SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 65-70 MPH. I SUDDENLY CAME UP UPON SLOWER TRAFFIC IN THE SAME LANE AND SIGNALED TO PASS THE SLOWER TRAFFIC. AS I LOOKED IN MY MIRRORS FOR TRAFFIC BEHIND ME I NOTICED ANOTHER VEHICLE CLOSING ON ME IN A HURRY. I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO GAIN SPEED AND MAKE THE PASS. THE VEHICLE LURCHED AND THE MOTOR SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN AND WOULDN'T ACCELERATE IN THE MIDDLE OF MY PASS. THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME LOCKED THEIR BRAKES AND MANAGED TO SLOW THEIR VEHICLE DOWN BEFORE POSSIBLY COLLIDING WITH ME. I LET THE SLOWER TRAFFIC ON THE RIGHT PASS AND SIGNALED TO GET BACK IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE.

I RENTED A FORD PICKUP TRUCK FROM U-HAUL, AND I FEEL THAT THE AUTOMATIC LIGHTING CONTROLS ON IT ARE A SAFETY ISSUE. AT NIGHT, WHEN YOU OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR, THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATION (SPEEDOMETER, OTHER GAUGES) COMES ON AUTOMATICALLY. WHEN YOU PUT IN THE KEY AND START THE ENGINE, THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (WHITE LIGHTS ON THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK THAT ARE NOT AS INTENSE AS THE NORMAL LOW-BEAM HEADLAMPS) COME ON. THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATION REMAINS ON AT ALL TIMES. *THE REAR RED RUNNING LAMPS/TAIL LAMPS DO NOT ILLUMINATE*, BUT THIS IS NOT OBVIOUS WHEN YOU ARE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE RESULT IS THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH SOME WHITE LIGHT COMING OUT OF THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, AND THE ABILITY TO READ THE SPEEDOMETER, BUT WITH *NO REAR LIGHTING*. I VERIFIED THAT THE PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS FULLY OFF (AS THAT IS SOMETIMES AN INPUT TO THE DRLS), AND HAD A FRIEND STAND ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET AND OBSERVE AS I DROVE THE TRUCK, AND HE VERIFIED THAT I HAD NO RUNNING LIGHTS/TAIL LIGHTS ON THE BACK. THE BRAKE LAMPS OPERATED NORMALLY WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, BUT THERE WAS NO RED LIGHT TO THE REAR UNLESS I WAS STEPPING ON THE BRAKE. ALL OF THE ABOVE WAS WITH THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH OFF. WHEN I CLICKED THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH TO THE FIRST POSITION, THE RUNNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED (ORANGE ON THE FRONT NEAR THE HEADLAMPS, RED IN THE REAR LAMP CLUSTERS.) WHEN I CLICKED IT TO THE SECOND POSITION, THE NORMAL LOW BEAMS CAME ON AT FULL INTENSITY. WHAT I THINK SHOULD BE DIFFERENT: EITHER THE AUTOMATIC LIGHTS/DRLS SHOULD ALSO TURN ON THE TAIL LIGHTS AT NIGHT, OR THERE SHOULD BE SOME INDICATION TO THE DRIVER THAT HE NEEDS TO TAKE ADDITIONAL ACTION (OPERATE THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH) IN ORDER TO HAVE TAIL LIGHTS. HAVING THE SPEEDOMETER ILLUMINATION GO OUT WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED MIGHT BE A GOOD CHOICE. *TR

THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING TO HAVE TO EXPERIENCE SO SOON WITH A BRAND NEW TRUCK. THE LOCATION OF THIS WIRING HARNESS IS IN AN AREA THAT UNLESS YOU HAVE SIDE STEPS AND MAYBE EVEN THEN, IS NOT PROTECTED. EVEN THEN THE WAY THE WIRING HARNESS COMES OUT FROM WITHIN THE WHEEL WALL MAKES NO SENSE. I'M ATTACHING A FEW PICTURES SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT OCCURRED. LUCKILY, SOMEONE SAW THE WIRE DRAGGING AND TOLD ME BEFORE IT WAS TOO LATE. I PUT UP THE HARNESS AND TAPED IT TO HOLD IT UP. THIS COULD HAVE HAD A HORRIBLE OUTCOME HAD THE WIRES CONTINUED TO SHRED OR MAKE CONTACT WITH ONE ANOTHER.
