2011 FORD F-150 Vehicle Speed Control Problems

I was driving in the morning car was started to lag on accelerating and shifting gears slightly. My dashboard and gps system flickered on and off when this happened. The truck putted as well. On my way home the car had trouble accelerating and dropped from 5th gear all the way to first causing me to almost lose control of the vehicle. It continued hard shifting and loss all acceleration. It continued flickering everytime it would sputter and slip gears, Gps and dashboard would flicker. They gears were going haywire. I could not accelerate with the pedal all the way to the floor, and was hard to turn steering wheel. Almost like the Truck was coasting. When we took it to the mechanic they stated it was a transmission range switch which is an issue and many F150's of my year, make and model. My vehicle was not listed as a recalled vehicle yet has the same issue as the other recalled ones. Total repairs are going to cost around $2000. I have not driven my vehicle since the incident and I am frightened after almost losing control from the hard shifting. Prior to this the vehicle ran great. It was an out of nowhere issue. the truck has been maintained well, with all oil changes, and regular maintenece. there is less the 96,000 mile son the truck as well.

Hard downshifts from 5 to 4. At low speeds, like parking lots it shifts hard from 1 to 2. At freeway speeds while attempting to pass instead of dropping a gear to passs it downshifts to 1st, rpm’s shoot up and it results in having to pull off stop and place in park. Once in park back to D and able to take off. At any speed from 30 mph or more there is a sort of “tap of brakes” feeling every .15 of a mile.

When driving on the interstate with the normal flow of traffic at 55mph, the vehicle abruptly downshifted from 6th gear to 1st gear causing the the vehicle to lock up an nearly caused an accident. This was followed by a a mechanic warning light and the speedometer to lock out and no longer work. Once pulled over, the vehicle was powered down. When the vehicle was turned back on operation returned in a limp state.

While driving at about 50 MPH truck suddenly down shifted to 1st gear locked up rear wheels and sent engine into a roar. Instrument panel not showing speed or any information. Had transmission shop trouble shoot and determined frame rail failure. replaced frame rail and serviced.

Unexpectedly downshifting into first gear result in a loss of vehicle control happened on September 20, 2024 and continue on and off.

At highway speeds speedometer started occasionally dropping to zero while actually going 55-65 mph. Then it became quite frequent AND the truck started spontaneous downshifting causing the rear wheels to break loose and the rear of truck to fishtail. It was terrifying.

2011 F-150 super crew Laredo is sifting gears down by its self at high spends causing immediate car speedometer cluster going to zero and not be able to accelerate. There was a customer satisfaction program 19N01 it was 10 yr 150,0000 miles

Transmission downshifted to 1st gear causing the rear wheel to lock momentarily while driving 40mph on the highway and then shifted back to 5th gear. Transmission will occasionally stay on 3rd or 5th gear when at a complete stop. Dealership refuses to remedy recall issue for my truck. I have complained multiple times.

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.

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.

At 45 mph the gear downshifted causing back tires to skid. Then gear illumination disappeared and wouldn't go into gear(while trying to leave a steep boat ramp) very scary!

A recall was issued for an intermittent failure of the transmission speed sensor (OSS), campaign 16S19. I took the truck to a Ford Dealership, Mike Reichenbach Ford, in Florence SC. The technician reprogrammed the PCM. This did not resolve the issue and the truck continues to downshift or not shift at all. I spoke with the dealership and with the Ford Motor Company. I believe this truck was taken to a dealership more than once without the issue being resolved. I am respectfully request Ford make good on the safety recall of a known issue.

Purchased TRUCK at Gus Machado of Kendal Mia Fl. Informed dealership of downshifting transmission issues, I was told "there's No recall on my vehicle ", its normal that new truck has as breaking in period. AT 10,000 miles- Drove to Gus dealership for TRANSMISSION ISSUES, NO RESOLVE -AT 70,679 miles - 01/11/17 Drove AGAIN to Gus dealership, for severe engine and transmission issues. Dealership noted severe engine problems. Insurance.& warranty rep. and Ford rep. arrived at dealership and AGREED that ORIGINAL engine was BAD. Insurance would cover repair cost & Engine was replaced. R/O [XXX]-AT 71,429 miles 04/18/17, Drove to Gus Dealership noted my Transmission concerns, found driveshaft to be slipping and issues addressed. Transmission continues to date to be problematic. I researched ford forums and found that several ford owners also have similar Transmission Issues and FORD has recalls on Transmission, ONLY MY VIN ISN'T ON recall R/O [XXX]- 93,868 miles 05/28/19 Drove to Bill Jarrett FOR RECALL 19N01, In less than 15 minutes truck was returned INFORMED COMPUTER had to be reprogrammed. 11/19 I returned to Miami for surgery &treatment at the Miami VA. Truck continued to downshift, so I went into Gus dealership and they explained the recall fix. I was told there are no recall on transmission and eventually Transmission would streamline. AT 156,000 miles- Since reprograming truck has been double downshifting/bucking in first gear, which I have been stating to Ford dealership since purchase IS A SAFETY CONCERN. To date NO LIGHTS ON DASH DISPLAYS OF Transmission, but BUCKING/DOWNSHIFTING CONTINUES (A SAFTY CONCERN). 05/17/24, I called Ford and stated my concerns. I was told to go into dealership to have it checked. 05/18/24 went to Bill Jarrett where my concerns was noted. They Informed that there is NO RECALL on my truck and I would have to purchase a new transmission for$ 7,000.00. Filed complaint with Better Business Bureau INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION

While driving, my truck down shifted suddenly. Already 3 times on different occasions.

My truck start to accelerate by itself and the light indicator goes crazy from parking to gear 1 From there the truck it can be controlled

My truck is doing exactly what the recall on all the others. Check engine light on for input shaft speed sensor. Speed odometer quit working then engine light came on for speed sensor. Now when you drive on highway it will be fine then all of a sudden throw a wrench light and truck goes into limp mode and barely moves. You stop turn it off it resets but still isn’t right it doesn’t seem to shift at proper times seems to be shifting to often.

Was in 6th gear(on a 6speed transmission) and immediately my truck downshifted to 1st gear causing my back tires to lock up and almost crash into a median. This is due to a CSP that Ford no longer offers to fix because it "expired".

The lead frame on my truck was experiencing issues. The truck would intermittently randomly downshift at high speeds or get stuck in one gear. I was going 65+ mph on the freeway and and my truck shifted to second gear with no warning causing me to swerve and slam on the brakes. Other times my truck did it on surface streets. There were no warning lights or anything to let me know it would happen. After it downshifted, the wrench popped up on the dash, my speedometer went to 0, and my odometer read blank. Forcing me to pull over, restart the truck, in order to get it out of limp mode to be able to make it home. I took my truck to Ford of Valencia California where they inspected the truck and confirmed it was the lead frame. The issue was that at the time the part was on an 8 month back order so my only option was to replace the entire Valve body instead of only the lead frame. My truck was no longer under the recall and I was forced to pay for this out of pocket less than a month of purchasing the truck from a used dealership. My truck was only inspected by Ford of Valencia and no other agencies. Since this truck was my only form on transportation, I could not wait the 8 months for the lead frame to come in and had to pay out of pocket for the new valve body.

Ford 150 2011 has had acceleration issues for the last 2 years. I heard there was a recall on this model of truck with the Eco boost but mine was not on the list but I am now having issues and mechanics are having a difficult time figuring out what has been happening. Code light doesn't specify a problem.

I was driving on the highway at 65 mph and the truck downshifted on it's own from 6th gear to 3rd gear causing the truck to loose power. This has happened twice while driving on the highway and the transmission recall has been updated prior to this.

Truck took off with out me touching the gas in a parking lot had to hit the brakes several times then shifted hard and speedometer quit work and the wrench symbol popped up on the dash and it throw code PO720 which is the output shaft speed sensor /lead frame

The vacuum pump recall was replaced in 2016 and it’s bad again. I have the emissions warranty with ford I am 6 owner the other 5 owners were resale so I get the one time lifetime emission warranty. the truck is doing all kinds of crazy stuff

This vehicle has an automatic transmission. It will not shift out of first gear in the drive setting and the speedometer registers 0 mph when moving in first gear. If I shift to the manual setting, I can shift up. I did not notice if the speedometer registered my speed at that point.

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

Truck transmission shifted into 1st dear from 4th while driving on a large 4-lane road in the middle of traffic while i was going approx 35 mph. When the downshift happened the tired locked up and the rear end slid sideways. I was able to regain control; however, as I stepped on the accellerator, the truck bogged down for a few seconds before reving to high RPMs and shifting roughly and then went into a mode that only allowed the truck to move between 3rd and 5th gears.

Driving down the expressway yesterday doing approximately 72 miles per hour and the vehicle does a HARD SLAM down to first gear and picks right back up to 6th. Now my concern is not only for the lead frame issue, but my transmission is being damaged every time this continues to happen. Since Ford was not able to even LOOK at my car until June 2023 (Its currently APril 28, 2023), I elected to take to a reputable 3rd party repair shop. At which I was told that the parts on are order and on an "undetermined time" for receiving and Im stuck driving my vehicle with these issues, that ford is aware of, that are becoming a bigger safety issue each time I drive it. Disappointing to say the least. Ford cant build quality trucks. They dont own up to their known safety issues. They cant even schedule to see them in a reasonable timeframe. They dont have adequate parts available. And us consumers are stuck footing the bill and inconvenience. Do better Ford. We are all disappointed.

Driving down the expressway, doing around 70 mph and the vehicle randomly jumps to first gear and brings the vehicle to a near halt in less than one second. It happened during rainy conditions and luckily there were no vehicles nearby or I may have struck one of them. At least once per day the vehicle does this at some capacity. No service lights or check engine lights are present.

While driving 75mph transmission down shifted unexpectedly to 1 gear. Once I got it home had codes checked called for they stated my truck wasn't covered under recall that is out there for 2011 ford f150 doing the same thing.

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

I am getting a P0299 code truck and according to research, this is something to do with the Turbo. It is causing my truck to lose power while driving. I have had it parked since then.

The transmission seem to not want to switch gears. It lost power in the middle of the road. Haven't seen a dealer.havent been inspected. A large wrench appeared and started becoming erratic. Put my scan tool on it and retrieved code P0720

I was driving, luckily at a slow speed when my trucks transmission without warning down shifted into first gear.

Truck downshifting while driving and looses mileage speedometer and gets stuck in 3rd gear and shifting hard. Start truck up it does good for like 5 mins then downshift and pops into 3rd and get engine light and wrench light

While driving, the transmission will randomly down shift into 1st gear and the speedometer will die. The truck flashes a “wrench” icon. There is no pattern, the issue is intermittent. When the speedometer dies, the transmission will only shift in “manual” mode, but will not shift above 3rd gear. The check engine light illuminates and throws codes P0720 and P0722. This indicates an output speed shaft sensor failure. Ford released a Customer Satisfaction Program 19N01 for this issue and offers full repairs. However the repairs were only valid if the truck was less than 10 years old or less than 150,000. My truck is now 11 years old (the issue first was present in May 2022) but I only have 73,000 miles. Ford is unwilling to help because I am outside the warranty by a few months. This is a definite safety concern because I’ve been driving on the freeway at 75 MPH in 6th gear only for the transmission to downshift to 1st gear, which causes a violent skid and potential rollover and accident. I live in a severe wintery area, and this issue makes the truck undriveable in the snow and ice. I would like for Ford to run a diagnostic scan, and replace the required components based off their previous CSP. Or, consider this a safety recall and allow me to trade my truck in with no penalties.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving 10 MPH, the speedometer failed to properly show the speed after exceeding 10 MPH. The contact stated that the transmission failed to shift properly. Additionally, the vehicle was slow to accelerate. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed the molded lead frame needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V075000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was contacted and referred her to the NHTSA Hotline. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.

Mileage: 75,000

Lead frame in transmission, causing downshifts in my truck and cruise control and speedometer shut off.I noticed theres a recall for issue but only on some. I'll be driving and all of a sudden wrench pops up and downshifts and dash components quit working and only runs in certain gears.also had to put 2 timing chains in,both at 50000 miles, 3 vacuum pumps for the brake system which both of these were recalled but only for 1 one each item..I work for Ford and try a d support them but just bought vacuum pump 3 weeks ago now this a d pump was 550$ no brakes without it..that also goes out right now.

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.

Well known 6R80 Transmission Molded Lead Frame defective, causing unexpected and dangerous downshift/loss of power, instrument gauges malfunction and both wrench light and engine light come on. Ford somehow avoided recall to save millions, instead issuing Customer Satisfaction Program 19N01, however replacement part is in short supply and dealerships weren't taking appointments then due to Covid pandemic. Following up recently with Ford dealer since symptoms have worsened, apparently program is now expired and they won't fix. We were nearly rear-ended twice attempting to merge onto freeway, so took it to a reputable local former Ford tech, but he can't obtain the part, which is back ordered everywhere, yet apparently Ford has. Putting everyone on notice and hoping it doesn't take a serious accident/avoidable lawsuit for Ford to do the right thing. Pls advise accordingly. Thank You. Desperate in NV...

The vehicle was being driven with the cruise control set. Upon approaching an intersection on a four lane divided roadway I tapped the brakes to deactivate the cruise control. When pressure was applied to the brake pedal the cruise control did not disengage but the vehicle accelerated instead. I released pressure to the brake pedal and the vehicle continued at the cruise control set speed. I again applied pressure to the brake pedal and the vehicle again accelerated. To avoid striking stopped traffic I moved into the right turn lane with the vehicle continuing to accelerate as I attempted to brake the vehicle. Upon entering the intersection my vehicle struck another pickup truck broadside. I believe speed at the point of impact was 60 plus miles per hour. My vehicle then continued on and struck two utility poles. Both vehicles were damaged beyond repair. There appears to be a problem with the speed control system as it would not disengage but caused the vehicle to accelerate. Googling the same problem with other Ford F-150's I found several reports of the exact problem. I ordered the vehicle new and it was maintained by the Ford dealership. There were no known problems. Mileage is 31,900. At this time the vehicle has not been inspected for a cause but is available for inspection. The vehicle is in the towing company lot. This accident could have very easily resulted in fatalities. This accident should have never happened!!!

I was driving with the cruise control engaged set at 60 mph. Approached an intersection with traffic light with traffic stopped in both westbound lanes. Tapped the brake to deactivate the cruise control. The cruise control did not turn off but instead tapping the brake caused the truck to accelerate. Released the brake pressure and reapplied brake pressure. This action again caused the truck to accelerate. To avoid hitting stopped traffic I moved to the right hand turn lane which was free of traffic. The truck continued to accelerate as I applied brake pressure. As my truck entered the intersection a collision occurred with a northbound vehicle. The collision severely damaged my vehicle and the struck vehicle with injuries to myself and the other driver. Crash speed had to be over 60 mph. This was all captured by a traffic camera. My F-150 had 31,900 on the odometer. It has been dealership maintained since new and has no known defects other than this incident. No lights, no warnings. The truck has not been Inspected since the incident. The truck has heavy damage. This incident could have easily caused the deaths of myself and the other driver. Searches online have turned up the same complaints from other F-150 owners. I have photos on my email but can not get them loaded to this form. You need to see them!

11 May 2022: Turned right into four lane traffic and accelerated. Truck refused to shift out of first gear. I had to make the first turn I could to get out of traffic. Turned truck off and re-started engine. Problem was resolved. Wednesday 18 May: Driving west on Hwy 7 at about 65 MPH. Truck lurched slightly and all speed/distance indicators on dash went blank. A single wrench was displayed. Speedometer dropped to Zero MPH.Truck seemed to drive just fine so I limped to a gas station a mile away. There I shut the truck off again and restarted the engine. Engine ran fine but no odometer readings still. Being 15 miles from the next town I decided to continue to drive slow. Shifting was normal and truck ran fine just no speedometer. I Drove straight to the first auto parts store (Advanced Auto) who read the fault code for me. It was something like Failed Speed Transmitter. Driving home that evening the truck seemed fine again. Normal start all displays working no wrench showing. I was driving 55 slowed to 45 for a speed zone. Then coasted to a stop for the red light. When the light turned green I drove. Instead of shifting up the truck stayed in first and even when I lifted my foot from the gas pedal the truck continued to accelerate to over 40 MPH. I Had to apply the brake to stop the acceleration. This was on HWY 7 four lanes of traffic. I had to get pulled off the road and re-start the truck again. The truck is now parked. All quotes I have to 'fix' this are beyond my ability to pay. And no-one (Even the Ford Dealer) will warranty any results other than a new sender unit and not any 'un-forseen' issues later.

The contact owns a 2011 Ford F-150 The contact stated while stopped at a stop sign, the contact took his foot off the brake pedal and the vehicle started to accelerate. The vehicle was turned off and restarted and the contact was able to safely drive the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 84,415.

Mileage: 84,415

Vehicle speedometer stopped working, the total mileage indicator read all dashes “- - - - - -“ and the transmission was shifting to the wrong gear. For example from a stop the truck would immediately be in fifth gear. The yellow wrench indicator came on briefly and then went away. I turned the truck off then on again and the problem went away and I made it home. Today I took the car to get the safety recall completed, and on my way home the car speedometer stopped working again and I was not able to accelerate while I was making a left turn. This left me stranded in the middle of the intersection and I had to restart the car and the problem went away. I asked the dealer if they would look into the lead frame extended warranty and they would not honor the coverage because I am at 155,000 miles and the coverage ends at 150,000 miles and because it is a 10 year coverage but my car was manufactured 10 years and 3 months ago. The recall did not fix my issue and the vehicle is not safe to drive. The issue is however intermittent and I am a college student who must commute 1hour away to attend the university. I don’t feel safe driving the vehicle, there was one point when the car down shifted rapidly and caused my car to jerk to a stop. I was only going 15 miles per hour so it was not too dangerous. Please help. The recall software update is all they were willing to help me with. Although the problem still persists.

Speed sensor stops communicating causing the truck to shift in first gear. This has caused the back wheels to lock up and could cause serious wreck. I need to have this fixed ASAP at no charge. This is a $40,000 truck and should not be having these dangerous issues. I hope this can be taken care of without contacting the news and my attorney

So I went and got the recall done on it the one about the failing pcm and it dropping to first all of a sudden and temporarily losing control of the vehicle. Fortunatley every time this happens ive been going slow but there have been times when ill be going a good 60 something mph and it feels like ive hit a brick wall. so anyway i got the recall done and it was good fro a awhile but now its doing it again and when o called the dealership[ to find out what to do about it. They said I was sol and need to bring it in so they can find out whATS WRONG WOITH IT FEES NOT INCLUDED...

MY TRANSMISSION IS DOWNSHIFTING ON ITS ON WHEN DRIVING HOME WITHOUT CHANGING GEARS. I HAVE TO SHUT IT OFF AND WAIT BEFORE I CAN DRIVE IT AGAIN. I WAS IN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND IT IS VERY SCARY. AND IT CONTINUES SO I'M UNABLE TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT'S TO DANGEROUS.

Mileage: 200,000

I I TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO FORD OF DALTON, GEORGIA BECAUSE THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL ON THE PCM AND TRANSMISION THAT WILL SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT IT WOULD COST ME $140 DOLLARS TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, AND IF THE PROBLEM WAS THE MOLDED LEAD FRAME IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT COMMUNICATES WITH THE OUTPUT SHAFT SENSOR, THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE RECALL OR WARRANTY. THIS CONTRADICTS WHAT THE RECALL STATES. I SHOULDNT BE CHARGED $140 DOLLARS FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE A RECALL..THIS IS ON A 2011 FORD F-150

Mileage: 1,700,000

AFTER TAPPING THE FLOOR ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE WENT TO FULL THROTTLE AND STAYED THERE. EVEN AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK THE ENGINE REMAINED AT 7000 RPM. OUTSIDE TEMP WAS -2F. VEHICLE HAD BEEN IDLING FOR 7 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THE EVENT OCCURRED WHILE PULLING INTO PARK AT 10 MPH. ALMOST HIT A PARKED CAR AND BUILDING BUT WAS ABLE TO BRAKE AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. AFTER RUNNING AT FULL THROTTLE IN PARK FOR AT LEAST 30 SECONDS THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. ALSO, THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD WASH SPRAY STOPPED WORKING A FEW DAYS EARLIER.

THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT RESULTED IN TRANSMISSION HAVING A HARSH DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR CAUSING VEHICLE TO JERK AND ENGINE REVS UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST INCLUDING A FEW DAYS BEFORE TAKING IT IN FOR THE RECALL REPAIR IN 2019. ( RECALL 19V -075). THIS PROBLEM, ACCORDING TO FORD, IS DUE TO INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR ( PART OF THE MOLDED LEADFRAME IN THE TRANSMISSION). TWO LATEST INCIDENTS OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET. HAVE HAD AT LEAST ONE OCCASION ON AN EXPRESSWAY WHERE VEHICLE HAD VERY JERKY TRANSMISSION SHIFT WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL. HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS TO FORD AND TOOK THE VEHICLE IN ON TWO OCCASIONS ( SEE ATTACHED INVOICES). THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER BEEN RESOLVED AND NO WARNING MESSAGES OR TROUBLE CODES HAVE BEEN FOUND DURING THE REPAIRS. FORD ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE ( PROGRAM # 19N01) ON MAY 2019 AND MY VEHICLE STILL QUALIFIES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN THIS WEEK TO REQUEST THEY REPLACE THE MOLDED LEADFRAME SINCE THE PROBLEM IS STILL PRESENT. THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE PART BECAUSE THEY SAY NO TROUBLE CODES ARE PRESENT. I HAVE FOUND OTHERS ON FORD FORUMS WHO SAY THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY ALSO HAVE NO TROUBLE CODES STORED EITHER. FORD NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE LACK OF TROUBLE CODES DOES NOT ENSURE THE PROBLEM IS NOT PRESENT. I CONTINUE TO HAVE CONCERNS THAT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND OTHERS IS JEOPARDIZED BY FORD NOT AGREEING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND MAKING THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. THEY THEMSELVES SAY IN THE RECALL NOTICE THAT "THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH."

I WAS DRIVING MY FORD F150 ABOUT 45MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A HARD JERK. SO HARD I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD HIT ME, THEN A WRENCH CAME ON THE SCREEN. AFTER IT JERKED IT SLOW DOWN DRASTICALLY. I TURNED AROUND AND TOOK IT TO O'REILLY'S AUTO AND THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THAT MACHINE AND IT GAVE A CODE THAT HAD TO DO WITH A CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THANKSGIVING HOLIDAYS WERE OVER UNTIL THAT FOLLOWING MONDAY BEFORE I COULD TAKE IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE HOOKED IT UP TO HIS MACHINE AND SAID THAT ONE OF THE SENSORS WAS NOT REGISTERING THEN I REMEMBERED I HAD A RECALL ON A SENSOR THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION SO I TOOK IT TO THE FORD HOUSE. I DIDN'T HAVE THE RECALL PAPER WITH ME SO THEY LOOKED IT UP ON THEIR COMPUTER AND SAID THEY WERE GOING TO REPROGRAM THE SOFTWARE THAT GOES TO A SENSOR IN MY TRANSMISSION. AND IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING AND IT DOESN'T MATTER, THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD EVER TAKE IT OUT ON THE HIGHWAY I DON'T EVEN WANT TO DRIVE IT ANY FASTER THAN LIKE 25 MILES AN HOUR BECAUSE IT JERKS SO HARD AND THERE'S NO WARNING WHEN IT HAPPENS WHATSOEVER. IT'S SCARY, VERY SCARY. MY COMPLAINT IS I DID THE RECALL AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT BECAUSE IT'S STILL DOING THE SAME THING LIKE I NEVER I KNOW WHEN IT WILL DO IT AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THROUGH THE CODE AND IS NO LONGER PROGRAMMED I DON'T KNOW BUT IT'S UNSAFE AND I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT AT ALL BECAUSE PEOPLE HONK AT ME AFTERWARDS BECAUSE I GO SO SLOW SO I TURNED MY HAZARDS ON.

AFTER COMPLETING A REQUIRED RECALL, MY TRUCK SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER 'ZERO'D' OUT WHILE IN MOTION. THIS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES, MOST RECENTLY WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. WHEN IT OCCURRED ON THE FREEWAY, THE BACK WHEELS FELT LIKE THEY LOCKED UP. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO CHECK FOR FLAT TIRES, AS THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT. ALL TIRES CHECK OUT OK. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THIS CAUSED THE SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER TO RETURN TO NORMAL FUNCTIONALITY. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AS I THOUGHT THAT THE NEW UPDATE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THE SOFTWARE UPDATE PROCESS WAS SUCCESSFUL AND COULD NOT BE REDONE. I READ A COUPLE OF INTERNET BLOGS OF WHERE OTHER OWNERS HAD THE SAME TYPE OF ISSUE. IF THE UPDATE CAUSED OTHER FAULTY PARTS TO BE EXPOSED, I UNDERSTAND. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT LOCK ITS TIRES WHILE IN MOTION, ESPECIALLY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE PICTURE THAT IS ATTACHED IS WHEN THE ISSUE FIRST OCCURRED. THE SAME INDICATORS OCCURRED THE SECOND TIME, WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY.

THE TRUCK HAS A VERY PROMINENT RATTLE SOUND FOR ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS UPON AN INITIAL START UP IN THE COLD WEATHER. THE OTHER DAY I WENT TO PASS SOMEONE, AND LOST POWER IN THE ENGINE AND MY TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST THE CAR. FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, AS PEOPLE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND CANADA ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH 2011-2012 FORD F150 WITH THE ECOBOOST ENGINE. TO ME THIS SEEMS LIKE AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD SHOULD TAKE CARE OF. SEEMS LIKE AN ENGINEERING FLAW TO ME.

FROM THOUSANDS OF FORD FORUM POSTS, THE TRUCKS HAVE AN INTERCOOLER CONDENSATION PROBLEM THAT IS CAUSING POOR PERFORMANCE AND SPARK PLUGS/COILS TO FAIL EARLY. WATER AND OIL VAPOR/RESIDUE CONDENSATION IS BEING SUCKED INTO THE ENGINE. PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO TAKE IT UPON THEMSELVES TO FIND A SOLUTION BY DRILLING A 1/16' HOLE IN THE LOW POINT OF THE INTERCOOLER DRIVER'S SIDE TO DRAIN OIL/WATER CONDENSATION/RESIDUE OR INSTALL A $400-$500 OIL CATCH CAN SEPARATOR WHICH FORD SHOULD BE OFFERING TO OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. FORD SHOULD OWN THIS PROBLEM AND ISSUE AN APPROPRIATE FIX LIKE THE OIL CATCH CAN INSTALLATION OR CONFIRM WITH ITS OWNERS THAT IT IS OK TO DRILL A WEEP HOLE IN THE INTERCOOLER.

THEY TALKED TO THE FORD REGIONAL MANAGER AND I WAS TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK WHEN THEY HAD A SERVICE REP AVAILABLE TO FULLY CHECK IT OUT. I CHOSE TO LEAVE THE TRUCK AT THE DEALERSHIP RATHER THAN RISK DRIVING IT. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS, SAID THEY DROVE IT 273 MILES AND COULDN'T GET THE PROBLEM TO REPEAT. AND IF THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO REPEAT THE PROBLEM THEY COULDN'T HELP. THE FORD REGIONAL MANAGER SAID THE SAME THING. I HAVE A LOT MORE NOTES BUT THEY PRETTY MUCH SAY THE SAME THING. CAN YOU HELP ME? I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT IT BEING REPAIRED. ISN'T THERE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ABOUT FORD TRUCKS DOING THE SAME OR A SIMILAR THING? PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 55 MPH THE VEHICLE WILL DOWN SHIFT AND THE ODOMETER WILL DIE AND DROP TO ZERO, MOST OF THE INDICATORS WILL HAVE DASHES INSTEAD OF NUMBERS. THE TRUCK WILL AUTOMATICALLY SLOW DOWN CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I THEN HAVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY FROM IGNITION AND RESTART THE VEHICLE UP AGAIN TO RESET ALL THE GAUGES. THIS NORMALLY HAPPENS WITHIN THE FIRST 10 MILES OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THIS WOULD ONLY HAPPEN ON A FEW OCCASIONS NOW IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED AROUND THE 1ST OF JULY 2016 BUT I WAS TOLD THE SOFTWARE FIX WOULD NOT BE READY UNTIL THE 3 QUARTER OF THE YEAR. FORD NOW WANTS TO CHARGE ME $131.00 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT TO BE DIAGNOSED IF THEY ALREADY HAVE A RECALL. I WONDER HOW MANY LIVES WILL BE IN DANGER UNTIL THE 3RD QUARTER UPDATE IS AVAILABLE.

I HAVE A 2011 FORD F-150 PICKUP TRUCK. RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCE ISSUES WITH THE TRUCK RANDOMLY SHIFTING TO FIRST GEAR. I CHECKED THE FORD WEBSITE AND THERE IS A RECALL NOTICE NUMBER 16S19 COVERING THIS VERY ISSUE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY TEST DROVE IT. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ACTION. THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE. THE VERY NEXT MORNING IT HAPPENED TWO TIMES ON MY WAY TO WORK. I THINK THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION AND FORD OR THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD PROVIDE ME A VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS FIXED. IF I EXPERIENCE THIS RANDOM DOWNSHIFT WHILE IN TRAFFIC IT COULD VERY EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY. THE FORD DEALER IS BEDFORD FORD LOCATED IN BEDFORD PA.

WHILE CROSSING A MAJOR INTERSECTION THE CAR CAME TO A STOP. THE ENGINE AND THE ELECTRICITY STAYED ON HOWEVER RPM'S DROPPED TO LESS THAN 1000 AND IT JUST ROLLED TO A STOP. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS PERSISTED FOR 10 SECONDS. LUCKILY, JUST BEFORE I WAS ALMOST HIT THE ACCELERATOR STARTED WORKING AGAIN AND I BARELY MADE IT CLEAR. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN AS IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY SAID THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE ISSUE IS BUT CAN'T FIX IT UNTIL THEY CAN RE-CREATE IT. THEY HAVE SEEN THIS ON MANY F-150'S OF THIS YEAR AND TYPE. THEY HAVE HAD MY TRUCK FOR 3 DAYS AND CAN'T MAKE IT HAPPEN AGAIN SO THEY HAVE ASKED ME TO COME GET IT, KNOWING IT HAS THIS ISSUE. MY TAKE ON THIS IS I AM A GUINEA PIG UNTIL IT HAPPENS ENOUGH, SOMEONE DIES AND A RECALL STARTS.

#1: DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, ATTEMPTING TO PASS A SEMI; VEHICLE LOST POWER AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND WE HAD TO COAST TO A STOP. THIS HAS ACTUALLY HAPPENED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE INTERCOOLER AND THE SECOND TIME I REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS. IT OCCURRED ABOUT THREE WEEKS AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE IT'S REGULAR SERVICE. IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE GAPS ON THE PLUGS, AND THEY KNEW CARS WERE LOSING POWER BECAUSE OF IT, THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THAT AT THE SERVICE! #2: DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND SPEEDOMETER JUMPED AROUND AND WENT TO ZERO. AFTER I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY, I LOST POWER AND HAD ERRATIC SHIFTING WHILE TRYING TO CROSS AN INTERSECTION. THERE'S A TSB OUT FOR THIS TOO!! WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL IF THERE'S A DEFECTIVE PART THAT CREATES DANGEROUS SITUATIONS!?!?

WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK AND I HIT THE BRAKES, SOMETIMES THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY ACCELERATES HAVING A HARD TIME TRYING TO CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE TRUCK. WENT TO THE DEALER AND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO THEM, CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY THIS HAPPENS. NOW I HAVE TO BRAKE A GREAT DISTANCE IN ADVANCE BEFORE ACTUALLY GOING TO STOP BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF AND WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. IT ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I WAS BACKING UP INTO A PARKING SPACE AND HAD TO JAM IN PARK TO STOP IT. IT JUST HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST TWO YEARS.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70MPH, I SAW MY SPEEDOMETER MOMENTARILY DROP TO 40MPH. IT DID IT AGAIN ABOUT 15 SECONDS LATER, AND DOWNSHIFTED TO ABOUT 4TH GEAR MOMENTARILY. ABOUT A MINUTE LATER, STILL AT 70MPH THE SPEEDOMETER DROPPED, AND THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR! MY REAR WHEELS LOCKED UP, AND I LOST CONTROL, AND FISHTAILED FOR A FEW SECONDS. LUCKILY I HAD TAKEN A HALF DAY VACATION AND WAS NOT IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. STILL OTHER CARS HAD TO SWERVE TO KEEP FROM BEING HIT. THE DEARLERSHIP WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, AND REPLACED A MOULDED PLASTIC MODULE MADE BY CONTINENTAL THAT I THINK CONTAINED THE TRANSMISSION SPEED SENSOR. SO IT APPEARS THAT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SPEED SENSOR SIGNAL IS LOST, THE FAILURE MODE IS TO DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST GEAR NO MATTER THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE.

GOING UP HIGHWAY @ 55MPH. PULLED AROUND A VEHICLE TO PASS. ONCE, I WAS IN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC THE ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST POWER, CHUGGED, AND WAS STUMBLING OVER ITSELF. I THEN GOT BACK BEHIND THE VEHICLE I WAS PASSING. THE 4 PASSENGERS AND I WERE ALL QUIET AND THEN FREAKED OUT. AFTER A WHILE WE PULLED OUT AND ACCELERATED TO GO UP ROAD AGAIN, TRUCK DOGGED OUT. WE HAD NO CLUE WHAT WAS HAPPENING, BUT EVERYONE WAS FREAKED OUT. WE CALLED BIRTHDAY PARTY DESTINATION TO TELL THEM WE HAVE VEHICLE TROUBLE AND CAN'T MAKE IT. DROVE IT DOWN HILL ALL THE WHILE WORRIED THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO BLOW. DROVE IT DIRECTLY TO DEALERSHIP WHO STATED THEY HAD NO CLUE AND DID NOT WANT US TO LEAVE IT THERE. SAID SET UP APPT. 7-10 DAYS OUT. PARKED IT UNTIL APPT. THEN THEY REPLACED ALL SPARK PLUGS. WE ALSO HAVE HAD TROUBLES WITH THE BRAKING. WHERE IT SUDDENLY TAKES EXTRA EFFORT AND REQUIRES THE DRIVER TO PRESS HARD ON THE BRAKES TO GET IT TO SLOW DOWN. WHEN WE'VE DRIVEN IT TO FORD FOR REPAIR THEY THROW THEIR HANDS UP, ACT FRUSTRATED, LIKE THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY CLUE AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEMS ARE. WE WERE HESITANT TO RENEW OUR STATE TAGS AS IT SITS PARKED MOST OF THE TIME, SINCE IT CHUGGED ON LEVEL SURFACE WITH NO RAIN PRESENT, AND THE MECHANICS LIGHT CAME ON. WE FEEL SCARED DRIVING IT AND IT HAS REMAINED PARKED FOR 3+ WEEKS. THIS IS OUR NEWEST VEHICLE, WHICH LOOKS NEW AND YET WE CAN'T DRIVE IT. WE'RE NOT MADE OUT OF MONEY, AND CAN NOT EASILY REPLACE THIS TRUCK. WE WANT FORD TO FIX THE ENGINE AND THE BRAKES, AND NOT ACT LIKE THEY HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS. FORD WANTS US TO TAKE THE LOSS ON THE VEHICLE VALUE OR CONTINUE DRIVING IT UNTIL SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS. THEY WANT NOTHING IN WRITING. AND, WE DO NOT WANT TO SELL THE VEHICLE TO A STRANGER. WE'D ALLOW YOU TO INSPECT OUR VEHICLE....AND DRIVE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE. WOULD YOU WANT TO BE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH YOUR YOUNG CHILDREN AS PASSENGERS?

4 MONTHS AGO I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY TRUCK WENT INTO LIMP MODE, WHEN I PULLED OVER IT WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY WITH A CHECK ENGINE WRENCH ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I SHUT IT DOWN AND RESTARTED IT A FEW MIN LATER AND IT WAS BACK TO NORMAL. IT WAS ABOUT 1 HOUR INTO MY TRIP AND AROUND 32 - 35 DEGREES OUT, THE ROADS WERE WET FROM SNOW FALL. MY WIFE AND I OWN A HOME IN NH SO I TRAVEL TWO HOURS THERE AND HOME EVERY WEEKEND. I HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED THE LIMP MODE AGAIN BUT EVERY TIME ITS WET AND COLD MY TRUCK WILL STALL ON ACCELERATION, WHEN AT A LIGHT, AND WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK WILL STOP ACCELERATING WHEN I TRY TO GIVE IT GAS. AGAIN, THE ONLY COMMON FACTOR WHEN THIS HAPPENS IS THE TEMP AND MOISTURE IN THE AIR, WEATHER ITS RAINING, SNOWING, OR THE ROADS ARE WET. IT WILL HAPPEN ALMOST CONSISTENTLY AT THE 1.5 HOUR MARK OF DRIVING. I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY KEEP SAYING THAT THE COMPUTER ISN'T SHOWING ANY TROUBLES, BUT THIS IS GETTING AGGRAVATING. I HAVE THE 6.2 V8 SO IT OUR ISSUES WE ARE ALL HAVING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ECOBOOST ENGINE. THEY NEED TO START LOOKING INTO SOMETHING THAT BOTH ENGINES HAVE IN COMMON. *TR

Mileage: 40,000

HELLO, WE WISH TO FILE A COMPLAINT ON THE 3.5 L ECO BOOST ENGINE IN OUR 2011 F150. WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES OF SHUTTERING, LURCHING, "LAG", LOSS OF POWER/LACK OF RESPONSE. WE FIRST HAD THIS ISSUE PASSING A SEMI ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY JULY 2014, NO THERE WAS NO FOG/RAIN. IT IMMEDIATELY SHUTTERED, SHOOK,LURCHED (COUGHED/SPUTTERED) LOOSING POWER AS WE WERE PASSING. WE MADE MANEUVERS TO GET TO THE SHOULDER WHERE IT STRUGGLED TO STAY ENGAGED. WE COULD HAVE BEEN HIT HEAD ON, REAR ENDED, SIDE-BROADED BY THE SEMI OR WORSE, A COMBINATION OF ALL 3. NOT TO MENTION STRANDED. WE HAVE READ OF OTHER ISSUES, LAWSUITS AND COMPLAINTS BEING FILED. THE "SHIELD" DID NOT WORK (WE HAVE IT, INSTALLED 8/2014 & FLASHED COMP) IT HAPPENED AGAIN TWO DAYS IN A ROW LAST WEEK. THE TRUCK HAD NO LOAD EITHER TIME, WHAT IF WE WERE/ARE PULLING OUR TRAILER? (THE REASON WE BOUGHT THIS 60K TRUCK, FORD SAID IT WOULD) NOW THEY CLAIM SPARK PLUGS ARE FOWLED, THAT IS A NEW "FIX". (NOT COVERED) HOWEVER THAT IS A SEPARATE "CARBON TRACKING" PLUG ISSUE, (THE NEXT "ISSUE" COULD BE THE IGNITION PLUGS FOWLING DUE TO CARBON TRACKING FROM THE MOISTURE ISSUE) THE PROBLEM IS NOT PLUGS, THE MAJOR PROBLEM IS MOISTURE! FORD IS NOT ADDRESSING THE MOISTURE PROBLEM CAUSING THE "FAILURE". THEY ARE FIXING SYMPTOMS OF THE ISSUE. THE PROBLEM-MOISTURE IN THE PISTONS WATER & ENGINES DO NOT MIX! THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM WHICH SHOULD FALL UNDER LEMON LAW. NEXT THERE WILL BE A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT (IF NOT FATAL) DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER/RESPONSE, WHAT THEN? "..IT WAS OPERATOR ERROR, THEY SLOWED/STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE IN TRAFFIC"..TESTS ARE EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE; TESTS. WE ARE EVERY DAY LIFE; DRIVE THE TRUCK FOR TRANSPORTATION, NOT PETAL-METAL 24/7, "GROCERY GETTERS", VALUE OUR TRUCK. SINCE WHEN ARE OUR LIVES INDISPENSABLE OR NOT IMPORTANT? WHEN IS ANY ONE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES? *TR

SINCE NEW, THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD AN ISSUE WITH A LOSS OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING HARD. THE LATEST INCIDENT, THIS PAST OCTOBER, OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 80000 MILES. PLUGS WERE BAD PREMATURELY AND FOUND THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY WATER BUILD UP IN A CAC FOR THE TURBO CHARGERS AND THERE WAS A TSB. I WAS PASSING A CAR AND LOST POWER ALMOST CREATING AN ACCIDENT. THIS TIME, FORTUNATELY, A LIGHT STAYED ON SO THEY COULD DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THE DEALER DID AN UPDATE PER THE TSB BUT FORD REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE UPDATE DUE TO THE MILES EVEN THOUGH THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THE NHTSA DID NOT MAKE THE RECALL MANDATORY IN THEIR PREVIOUS INVESTIGATION AS I BELIEVE WATER BEING INJECTED INTO AN ENGINE CAUSING A POWER LOSS AT A TIME POWER IS CALLED UPON IS DANGEROUS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND MY REAR END LOCKED UP AND IT ALMOST HAD A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I SEARCHED ON LINE FOR RECALLS AND ON THE 2011S THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY SAID THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS AT THIS TIME. I FOUND 5 RECALLS ON 2011S F150:1 RECALL ID 68928 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,2 RECALL ID 90589 EXTERIOR LIGHTING,3 RECALL ID 84274 STRUCTURE BODY,4 RECALL ID 91590 POWER TRAIN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION,5 RECALL ID 90588 POWER TRAIN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED MY TRUCK AND TOLD ME THAT THE VALVE BODY WIRING HARNESS IS BAD AND THE REPAIR WILL COST AROUND $850.00 TO REPAIR. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID THAT THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE 2011 MODELS BUT NO RECALLS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND ITS SERIOUS. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING 75 MPH AND MY REAR LOCKED UP ON ME,IT WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN GOOD AND IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR PILE UP INCLUDING INJURY TO MYSELF AND OTHERS AND POSSIBLE. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT AND INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. THANKS *TR

I HAVE A FORD F150 ECOBOOST. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DEFECTIVE DUE TO LOSS OF POWER WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY TRYING TO OVERPASS OTHER VEHICLES..VEHICLE LOOSES POWER DUE TO MOISTURE OR HUMIDITY THAT ENTERS THE INTERCOOLER. IT ALSO MAKES THE CYLINDERS TO MISFIRE AND THE TURBO. DUE TO THAT ENGINE TURNS ON AND I HAVE TO POWER TO MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO A SUDDEN SLOW IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY.. I HAVE THREE KIDS AND I WOULDN'T WANT ANY ACCIDENTS HAPPENING DUE TO THIS..

THE DIFFERENT FIXES THEY HAVE TRIED HAVE NOT WORKED AND YET I CONTINUE TO BE CHARGED FOR THESE FIXES. I FEEL IF IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FORD SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THE PROBLEM NOT CHARGING ME TO TRY AND FIGURE IT OUT.

I WAS ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE HARD TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC ONTO INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. WHEN I PUSHED PEDAL TO FLOOR, THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SLOWED AS IF A GOVERNOR HAD KICKED IN. FORTUNATELY, I HAD ROOM ON SHOULDER TO NOT GET HIT, BUT HAD TO WAIT AND PUMP PEDAL TWICE BEFORE IT BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. I HAVE NOT TRIED TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAD AN IDENTICAL PROBLEM 3 YEARS AGO IN ANOTHER ECOBOOST FORD F150 THAT NEARLY KILLED ME. I ATTEMPTED TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE AND REALIZED THAT I NEEDED HARD ACCELERATION AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SLOWED. THERE WAS NO WHERE TO GO, BUT FORTUNATELY MY FELLOW MOTORISTS REALIZED I HAD A PROBLEM AND LET ME BACK INTO MY LANE WITHOUT A MULTI-VEHICLE CRASH.

MY ENGINE LIGHT WILL FLASH SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN IT WILL STAY ON TILL I TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE. 2 TIMES THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME THE PROBLEM IS A TURBO COOLER ISSUE AND WANT TO CHARGE ME $200 FOR SOME CHEAP LICK AND STICK PLASTIC AIR DEFLECTOR. THE OTHER 2 TIMES THEY HAVE SAID I HAVE A BAD DISTRIBUTION WIRE AND PLUG. FIRST WAS ON CYLINDER 3 AND SECOND TIME ON CYLINDER 1. EVERY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A HARD ACCELERATION, ITS BEEN DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC AND I HAVE HAD TO PULL OF THE ROAD TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TO NOW BE VERY CAUTIOUS WHEN ACCELERATING AS I FEEL THIS TRUCK IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HOPE SOMEONE CAN GET THIS RECALLED AS I KNOW THERE IS A LOT OF THESE TRUCKS OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

THIS IS A FORD ECOBOOST TRUCK THAT IS TURBOCHARGED. DURING A HEAVY RAIN ON INTERSTATE 95 I TRIED TO ACCELERATE FROM ABOUT 5 MPH AND THE TRUCK LOST POWER AND BARELY MOVED. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS THE TRUCK REGAINED POWER AND MOVED AHEAD. THERE WERE 2 OTHER INSTANCES ON THIS TRIP ALSO DURING RAIN.. THE SECOND TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. UPON RETURNING HOME I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS. THERE HAVE BEEN 3 TSB'S TO EFFECT A REPAIR. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER. THE ENGINE CODE WAS A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER #6. TSB 13-08-01 WAS APPLIED AND I WAS BILLED $255.66. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS A RECALL AND REPAIRS MADE BEFORE SOMEONE IS BADLY HURT. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED ON THE INTERSTATE. THE PROBLEM IS HIGH HUMIDITY CONDENSES IN THE INTERCOOLER (CAC) OR CHARGE AIR COOLER AS FORD CALLS IT. THEN A SUDDEN ACCELERATION CAUSES THE CONDENSED WATER TO ENTER THE ENGINE GROUNDING OUT THE SPARK PLUGS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER AND STALL. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN KNOWN TO DAMAGE THE LEFT CATALYTIC CONVERTER. WHY MUST I PAY TO FIX A DESIGN FLAW? FORD NEEDS TO RECALL ALL OF THESE TRUCKS AND REPAIR THEM. THIS IS NOT A MILEAGE BASED PROBLEM BUT IS INHERENT IN ALL OF THEM. DURING THE RIGHT CONDITIONS IT WILL HAPPEN. *TR

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AND PASS SLOWER TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY, MY 2011 F150 (4X4, ECOBOOST) TRUCK LOST ALMOST ALL ENGINE POWER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO BLINK, AND THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHOOK VIOLENTLY. DUE TO THE TRUCK'S SUDDEN DECELERATION WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS SIGNALING IT, ONCOMING TRAFFIC (INCLUDING A LARGE TRACTOR/TRAILER) APPROACHED FROM BEHIND RAPIDLY AND EVERYONE HAD TO BRAKE ABRUPTLY TO AVOID A COLLISION. I TURNED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS, PULLED THE TRUCK TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND SAT THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES WHILE I CALLED WORK TO INFORM THEM THAT I WOULD LIKELY HAVE TO WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK AND BE DELAYED. DURING THAT CALL, THE ENGINE LIGHT STOPPED BLINKING AND THE TRUCK BEGAN RUNNING NORMALLY AGAIN. I REENTERED THE HIGHWAY WHEN TRAFFIC WAS CLEAR AND THE TRUCK PROCEEDED TO RUN NORMALLY UNTIL I REACHED MY WORKPLACE (ROUGHLY 2-3 MORE MILES ON THE HIGHWAY AND ABOUT 5 MILES THROUGH THE CITY). A LESS SEVERE INSTANCE OF THIS OCCURRED MONTHS BEFORE. IN THAT CASE, THERE WAS A SHORT POWER LAG UPON ATTEMPTED ACCELERATION, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKED 2-3 TIMES AND THEN STOPPED BLINKING AND THE TRUCK DID NOT SHAKE AT ALL. THE WHOLE EPISODE DISAPPEARED AS QUICKLY AS IT APPEARED AFTER LETTING OFF THE ACCELERATOR FOR A SECOND OR TWO. I BELIEVED IT WAS A ONE-OFF THING. AFTER TODAY'S MUCH MORE SEVERE EPISODE, IT IS CLEARLY NOT A ONE-OFF AND OBVIOUSLY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE AN UNSAFE SITUATION.

EVEN AFTER IMPACT AND ME CONTINUING TO APPLY FULL BRAKE IT WAS STILL WIDE OPEN THROTTLE AND BURNING OUT. I FINALLY CAME TO MY SENSES AND SHUT THE IGNITION OFF AND THE STOPPED IT. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO MY LOCAL DEALER AS RECOMMENDED BY FORD CUSTOMER CARE REP. THE DEALERSHIP RAN A DIAGNOSTICS CHECK AND FOUND NOTHING AS WELL AS TRIED TO GET IT TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WITH NO LUCK. I HAD A STATE TROOPER CERTIFIED IN DOWNLOADING EVENT RECORDER DATA DO SUCH TO MY TRUCK. THE DATA SHOWS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED..BUT DOES NOT DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THE ACCELERATOR BEING PUSHED VS.THE ACCELERATOR POSITION AS INDICATED. HOWEVER, IT DOES SHOW SERVICE BRAKE APPLIED AND CONTINUAL ACCELERATION AT THE SAME TIME WHICH I CAN PROVE WAS NOT DONE BY ME! I HAVE PICTURES OF ABRASIONS TO MY RIGHT SHIN AND KNEE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN AND DASH..MY RIGHT FOOT WAS FULLY APPLIED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL CAUSING THE ABRASIONS AT IMPACT DUE TO BEING DIRECTLY IN LINE WITH THE STEERING COLUMN. MY LEFT LEG HAD ZERO ABRASIONS...SINCE TO THE LEFT OF THE STEERING COLUMN. IF I WAS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DATA SHOWN IN THE DOWN LOAD I WOULD OF HAD TO HAVE MY LEFT FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THUS SUSTAINING ABRASIONS TO THAT LEG. IT IS ALSO IMPOSSIBLE TO USE THE RIGHT FOOT TO BRAKE AND ACCELERATE SIMULTANEOUSLY TO ACHIEVE THE ACCELERATION INDICATED...ONES LEG HAS TO BE COCKED TO THE SIDE AND OUT OF LINE OF THE STEERING COLUMN.

I GOT ONLINE AND REALIZED I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS ENGINE. ON 4/18/14 I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP(LANDERS FORD, COLLIERVILLE, TN) AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH IT AND SAID THERE WAS A FIX. THIS FIX INCLUDED INSTALLING A MOISTURE DEFLECTOR AND REPROGRAMMING THE COMPUTER. IT WAS PERFORMED AND I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP. YESTERDAY, 4/23/14, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I AM PLANNING ON GOING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. *TR

I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY DID THE INTERCOOLER FIX. AFTER THAT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A SPARK PLUG, REPLACED IT, ON THE DRIVE HOME SAME PROBLEM, ENGINE SHUDDERS VIOLENTLY, LOSES POWER, GOES INTO LIMP MODE, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EITHER FLASHES OR GOES SOLID.

DURING RAIN STORM OR HIGH HUMIDITY DRIVING CONDITIONS, WHILE AT A STEADY SPEED FOR A FEW MINUTES, I APPLY THE GAS PEDAL TO PASS OR MERGE, MY TRUCK STUTTERS AND LOSS OF ENGINE POWER OCCURS. WHEN THIS HAPPENED IT CAUSED TRUCK TO SLOW DOWN TO UNSAFE SPEEDS RAPIDLY WHILE ON HIGHWAY, CAUSING ME TO STEER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID A CRASH. THE TRUCK IS STILL ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS BUT ACCELERATOR PEDDLE IS USELESS UNTIL VEHICLE IS STOPPED, AFTER A FEW MOMENTS IT WILL WORK AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND ON MULTIPLE DATES. ONE PARTICULAR TRIP FROM PENNSYLVANIA TO FLORIDA AND BACK, THIS ABOVE CONDITION HAPPENED NO LESS THAN 15 TIMES. HAD MY TRUCK IN FOR MULTIPLE SERVICES AND NOTHING, BUT A CODE FOR MISFIRE I BELIEVE THE TECH SAID. HAD ALL TSB'S DONE AS OF AUGUST 2013.

IT HAS NO POWER AND THE TURBOS DO NOT WORK AT RANDOM. THE LOSS OF POWER ALL THE TIME IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. LUCKILY I DID NOT CRASH OR CAUSE A CRASH BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE. BUT THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE SINCE 1-30-14 , HAS BEEN OUT OF COMMISSION FOR OVER 30 BUSINESS DAYS AND NO DEALERSHIP CAN FIX IT. THE TRUCK IS UNDER MULTIPLE WARRANTIES, BUT THE ISSUE OF THE TURBOS FAILING AT RANDOM / INGESTING MOISTURE FROM THE INTER COOLER IS STILL THERE. 3/31/14 THE TRUCK IS STILL AT A DEALERSHIP. *TR

THE SUBJECT PICK UP TRUCK WAS SOUTHBOUND ON I405 BETWEEN ORANGE AVE AND CHERRY AVE IN LONG BEACH CALIFORNIA. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE FAST LANE OR THE LANE ADJACENT TO THE FAST LANE. SPEED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT WAS APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED. TRAFFIC WAS MODERATE WITH ALL LANES MOVING AT FREEWAY SPEED. WITHOUT WARNING, AND SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE SOUND OF A SKIDDING TIRE, THE VEHICLE PULLED VIOLENTLY AND ABRUPTLY TO THE RIGHT, OUT OF CONTROL, AND CROSSED ALL TRAFFIC LANES OF THE FREEWAY AND THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY. JUST PRIOR TO DEPARTING THE ROADWAY, ENOUGH CONTROL WAS REGAINED TO AVOID HITTING A FREEWAY DIRECTIONAL SIGN IN THE LANDSCAPE MEDIAN. THE TRUCK ENTERED THE LANDSCAPE MEDIAN AND CAME TO REST FACING SOUTH, PARALLEL TO THE FREEWAY. APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES PASSED BEFORE THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL RESPONDED TO THE ACCIDENT SITE. THE OFFICER SAID HE WAS RESPONDING TO AN ACCIDENT THAT WAS REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR INVESTIGATION. FIVE TO TEN MINUTES PRIOR TO THE LOSS OF CONTROL, THE DRIVER NOTICED A FLUCTUATION IN THE SPEEDOMETER FROM APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH TO 50 MPH WITH NO CHANGE IN VEHICLE SPEED, ENGINE RPM OR PERFORMANCE. SEVERAL WEEKS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, THE DRIVER EXPERIENCED AN EVENT AT MODERATE SPEED WHICH WAS DESCRIBED AS FEELING THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS HIT FROM BEHIND AT SLOW SPEED ALTHOUGH THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND THE TRUCK. SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER BOTH FAILED TO 0 AND THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY WENT BLANK. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, A "WRENCH" ICON APPEARED MOMENTARILY ON THE DISPLAY. THE DRIVER CONTINUED DRIVING TO A GAS STATION AND REFUELED. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS STARTED AFTER REFUELING, ALL INSTRUMENTS APPEARED NORMAL WITH NO ICONS PRESENT. NO ICONS RE-APPEARED AT ANY TIME UP TO AND INCLUDING THE DATE OF THE ACCIDENT. UPDATED 06/16/14 *BF

I SHOULD NOTE THAT MY TRUCK HAS THE 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE. THIS OCCURRED ON A VERY COLD MORNING (-15F) WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS A TRUCK ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY, GOING UP HILL. I HAD BEEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR WHEN THIS HAPPENED. AS I PULLED INTO THE LEFT LANE AND ACCELERATED HARD, THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHUTTER AND MISFIRE, LOSING ALMOST ALL POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED 3 OR 4 TIMES THEN CAME ON SOLID. I WAS ABLE TO DROP BACK INTO THE RIGHT LANE BEHIND THE TRUCK AND AVOID AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. I LIMPED THE TRUCK TO AN AREA WHERE I COULD GET OFF THE ROAD. AFTER TURNING THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE, IT RAN BETTER BUT NOT AT WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED FULL POWER. I GOT TO MY DESTINATION ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER, LEFT THE TRUCK SIT FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS AND HEADED BACK TOWARDS HOME. THE ENGINE SEEMED TO RUN NORMALLY AT CRUISING SPEED. SINCE THAT OCCURANCE, I HAVE NOTICED A DROP IN GAS MILEAGE AND INTERMITTENT MISFIRES OR SHUTTERING OF THE ENGINE WHEN ACCELERATING HARD. I BELIEVE THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CREATE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD UPON ACCELERATION TO PASS OR TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. THIS TRUCK BASICALLY DIED AND LOST ALL POWER. THIS IS CLEARLY NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE, AS I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS FORD TRUCK FORUM WEBSITES. *TR

MY FAMILY AND I WERE ON OUR WAY TO DISNEY WORLD IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA WHEN MY 2011 FORD 3.5 LITER ECOBOOST F150 TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE 10 HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, PROBABLY 60 MILES TO THE EAST OF TALLAHASSEE FLORIDA. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT WE WERE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT, AS THE TRUCK COMPLETELY DIED OUT. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE AND FINALLY GOT THE VEHICLE STARTED. WE HAD BEEN STEADY STATE CRUISING WITH THE CRUISE SET AT 70 FOR ATLEAST 2-2.5 HOURS. AFTER DOING SOME READING I SEE THAT IT WAS PROBABLY CONDENSATION IN THE INTERCOOLER THAT ENTERED THE INTAKE TRACT WHEN I HAD ACCELERATED TO GO AROUND A BIG TRUCK THAT WAS BARELY MAKING IT UP A HILL ON INTERSTATE 10. THIS WAS A REAL BAD EXPERIENCE, THIS HAS HAPPENED ATLEAST 2 TIMES SINCE THEN. LUCKILY I HAVE NOT HAD A WRECK OR CRASHED, BUT AS I KEEP READING UP, I SEE MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ECOBOOST F150. NOW, I HAVE A TRUCK IN THE SHOP WITH A BLOWN MOTOR, AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THAT THE WATER GETTING INTO THE MOTOR AND THE MOTOR TRYING TO COMPRESS THAT WATER WAS WHAT CAUSED MY ENGINE FAILURE. I METAL FROM THE INTERNAL ROTATING ASSEMBLY SHOOT THROUGH THE SIDE OF MY ENGINE BLOCK LAST WEEK. I BELIEVE THAT HAPPENED DUE TO THE WATER AND THE WATER BENDING THE CONNECTING RODS. PLEASE HELP. *TR

I MOVED TO THE RIGHT HAND LANE REDUCED SPEED TO 50 MPH AND CONTINUED ON TO A FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE VEHICLE EVALUATED.

I TOOK MY 2011 F150 WITH THE ECOBOOST TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY SAID A TSB HAD BEEN WRITTEN AND THEY CHANGED THE REPLACED THE LOWER AIR DEFLECTOR. THIS ACTUALLY MADE THE PROBLEM WORSE. AT WIDE OPEN THROTTLE FROM A STOP TO ABOUT 80 MPH, EVERY GEAR WILL CUT OUT AND SOMETIMES PUT THE ENGINE INTO A PROTECTION MODE BEGINNING AROUND 4,000 RPM. IF IT SHAKES AND SHUDDERS MADE ENOUGH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL FLASH, AND NOW IT HAS COME ON AND STAYED ON.

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.

WE WERE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY OUTSIDE OF ST. LOUIS MO AND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS FULLY DEPRESSED THE ENGINE STARTED TO MISFIRE AND POWER WAS REDUCED. A BLINKING CEL WAS DISPLAYING ON THE DASHBOARD. IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE TURBO SYSTEM WAS NOT ADDING ANY EXTRA CHARGE TO THE AMBIENT AIR. THERE WAS A PRONOUNCED VIBRATION TO THE VEHICLE THAT SEEMED TO ORIGINATE FROM THE ENGINE/DRIVE TRAIN. LUCKILY THERE AS NOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC AT THE TIME AND OUR POOR ACCELERATION DID NOT RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. MY SOLUTION WAS TO MANUALLY SELECT THE GEARS AND DRIVE AT MUCH HIGHER RPM. THIS SMOOTHED THE MISFIRE AND WE HAD AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF POWER TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES EVERYTHING SMOOTHED OUT AND THE MISFIRE WAS GONE. TRUCK BEHAVIOR RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE WEATHER THAT DAY WAS A PLEASANT 60 DEGREES AND SUNNY. THE PREVIOUS DAY WE DROVE FROM CENTRAL OHIO TO ST. LOUIS THROUGH MUCH RAIN AND FOG. SINCE WE WERE ON VACATION AND AWAY FROM HOME WE DID NOT TAKE THE TRUCK TO A DEALER TO BE SERVICED. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT OCCURRED SINCE THEN. THERE WAS ONE PREVIOUS OCCURRENCE AT A PREVIOUS DATE.

THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN BUT THE ENGINE IDLE WAS STILL EXTREMELY HIGH AND THE ACCELERATOR DEPRESS ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. I PUMPED THE ACCELERATOR UNTIL THE IDLE REDUCE TO NORMAL. WHEN I FINALLY CAME TO A STOP, I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND GOT OUT AND MY BRAKES WERE EXTREMELY HOT AND SMOKING. I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD BUT COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING THAT INDICATED A PROBLEM. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES I STARTED THE VEHICLE UP AND DROVE DIRECTLY TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP (WOODY ANDERSON FORD, HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA). FORD MOTOR COMPANY CASE# CAS3080877

ON I-20 EAST HEADED TO AUGUSTA, GA FROM ALABAMA I PULLED INTO THE LEFT LANE TO PASS AND THE ENGINE STARTS SPUTTERING, SKIPPING AND LOST ALMOST ALL POWER. IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES YESTERDAY. IT WAS IN A LIGHT RAIN AND SINCE THERE WAS LIGHT TRAFFIC I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND GET THE ENGINE TO RECOVER EACH TIME. THIS COULD BE A REAL DANGER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I TESTED IT AGAIN THIS MORNING (08/18) AND IF YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY IT JUST ABOUT SHUTS DOWN UNTIL YOU LET OFF. *TR

WHILE ENTERING A HIGHWAY VIA AN ON-RAMP DOING ABOUT APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES PER HOUR I ATTEMPTED HARD ACCELERATION TO PICK UP SPEED AND MERGE IN TO TRAFFIC THAT WAS DOING APPROXIMATELY 65-70 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN I DEPRESSED THE THROTTLE THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE, BUT IT STARTED TO HESITATE AND SHAKE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO OVER 40 MILES PER HOUR. THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT SITUATION AS I EXPECTED THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE WHEN IT DID NOT. I WAS THEN FORCED TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE THE CEL HAD CLEARED AND THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. NO CODE WAS STORED IN THE PCM TO INDICATE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT. ONCE WHILE TOWING A 4000LB BOAT/TRAILER WHICH ALSO ALMOST CAUSED A SEVERE ACCIDENT. FORD HAS FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND CONCLUDES THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO SINCE NO CODES WERE STORED. I WILL NOTE THAT AFTER RECEIVING TSB 12-2-10 THE VEHICLE WILL STILL EXHIBIT THE SAME SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED ABOVE, BUT NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. VEHICLE WILL STALL, GO IN TO "LIMP MODE" WITH NO INDICATION THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG. ONLY RESOLUTION IS TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON TO CLEAR THE STATUS. THIS CREATES DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHEN ON A HIGHWAY. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. *TT

WHILE SLOWING DOWN SLIGHTLY THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY 'CLUNKS' AND IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING HAS RUN INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK.
