2013 FORD F-150 Engine Problems

2013 f150 EcoBoost ,cam phasers Ford truck and timing chain are known to go out on these trucks have not been recalled and yet should be.

Driving on Interstate Highway. Entered a tunnel at 65 MPH. Near the end of the tunnel traffic started to slow down. I applied the brakes and the engine started to accelerate. I had full pressure on the brake pedal but the vehicle kept accelerating. There was a loud fan noise. Fortunately the vehicles ahead started to accelerate up to the speed limit - and beyond. I took my foot off the brake and turned on cruise control. The fan sound stopped and the truck maintained cruise control setting. I had heard the fan speed up twice before but I was parking each time1 and turned off the engine within seconds of hearing the fan motor speed up. I returned to my home and heard the fan motor speed up once more. I took the vehicle in to my local Service Station. They were able to recreate the problem. "Bad thermostat causing engine cooling fan to come, increasing idle speed. Replaced thermostat"

Transmission shifted into 1st gear while doing 65 mph on the freeway. The rear tires locked up as a result and the truck spun out in front of on coming traffic putting myself and my 6 month old nephew in a life threatening situation. This is not okay. I was told the most recent recall done on this vehicle was done to not allow this to happen. This issue has been an on going problem with these trucks and Ford has still yet to rectify the problem. This can cause serious bodily harm to myself and others around these vehicles. I feel Ford needs to do something about this issue.

My truck is making a ticking and whistling noise once it is cranked and running. Ford issued a recall on f150’s for a manifold exhaust leak with the same noises I am hearing. The recall # is 19S32. My truck has the same problem and issue as described in the recall. My year and model truck needs to be covered under the recall.

My truck has been randomly downshifting while driving. I see there is a recall for my year and make of truck for the same problem i am having, but my truck is not coming up for the recall. I am so afraid that if I am on the freeway if this downshifts, it put me in harms way. What can I do? I took it in for repair at a independent repair shop and it is still happening, they di not know about the module on recall.

Truck has 91,200 miles and was well maintained. Truck has a loud rattle (like rocks in a can) on dry start up after sitting for several days. Rattle goes away after starting and is consistent with worn CAM PHASERS, as shown in many videos on the internet describing this known problem with the Ford 3.5L ecoboost engine. Ford issued a customer reimbursement program for repairing this known defect but it does not apply to this vehicle, even though it was built with the defective cam phasers and is showing signs they are destroying themselves, which can lead to catastrophic engine failure. Ford redesigned the cam phasers to a better version after learning of the originally defective design. The repair is very expensive $3k to $5k.

While driving my vehicle speedometer goes to zero which no recognition of speed. If brought to a stop I can’t get out of first gear. Ford issued a “Customer Satisfaction Program 19N01” related to the 6R80 transmissions, Sudden Transmission Downshift. This “Customer Satisfaction” should have been a non expiring recall. The check engine sometimes flicks on but does not stay on or show a code. Issue is intermittent and lasts 10-15 min until vehicle recognizes it’s not incapable of shifting. Given this severely limiting malfunction I highly recommend the recall be extended indefinitely to make sure these vehicles are fixed properly.

I was traveling 55 mph on highway when without any warning or hesitation the truck on its own down shifted to 2nd gear, resulting in the rear end of truck to swing all the way around turning me a whole 45 degrees! I was very lucky to have been able to pull out of the fish tailing act caused by the down shifted at such a high speed. I had to tow it home from there bc the transmission would then be stuck in 5th gear and randomly shift to 2nd with a bad jerking motion. My local ford dealership told me the recall has expired for my truck?!?!?

traveling on highway at speed of 65 to 70 mph and vehicle suddenly downshifted and experienced a loos of power. dashboard went off and I lost control of the vehicle. my safety was put at risk due to loss of power of vehicle. I could not identify anything wrong with the vehicle before it happened.

As I was pulling out onto the road it died blocking a 2 lane road at around 5AM so was pitch black luckily cars where paying attention & saw me I was able to roll it back off the road. Had a mechanic look at it after being towed back home he noticed fuse 27 was melted that is fuse for the fuel pump. Currently awaiting how much it will be to fix.

Vehicle dash lights will come on while driving (wrench light specifically) and vehicle looses all power and drops to 0 RPM 0 Speed. This has happened multiple times and is extremely dangerous!

Truck is a 2013 Ford F150 with 114,000 miles and there is a bulletin for this concern but the truck is out of warranty by age. The total bill is $1,769.54 and I contacted Ford to see if they would help for customer satisfaction and was told no.

Due to an unresolved issue that Ford motor company is aware of with the Transmission “Molded Lead Frame” the truck will drop down into 1st gear from highway speeds and causes a huge safety concern if there should be someone traveling behind me. The speedometer will stop working as well as the mileage will disappear off the screen/all other information will go blank. I will have to stop the truck, turn it off and back on again and it will drive normal. When I bring to dealer; they state ford should be covering this issue: when I contact ford I am offered no assistance or remedies. They referred me to bring this safety issue to your attention. It is very concerning and I cannot afford another car at the moment.

Vehicle was going around 55 mph and dropped out of gear and into limp mode or 1st gear. Happened yesterday as well around 55 mph with cruise control on. Used a scan tool and no codes given.

Since I purchased the vehicle I have found numerous it’s that are claimed as recommended fixes as the dealer has told me. And now that I keep seeing the rear camera show up for recalls is what made me mad enough to write this. My vehicle has the rear camera that will go off and either not show anything as if I was not in reverse which I am at the time, or it just shows a blue screen. And I have seen other people complain about this on YouTube for my model/year. Also the transmission lead frame which they did end up actually saying when it went that there was a recall for this, BUT if a certain code supposedly didn’t show up on the code reader it was not covered under the warranty. Which of course mine did not have the correct code so I had to pay out of pocket. But coincidentally when I picked it up they said they gave me a discount which everyone knows when a dealer states something they are charging there is no change in the price, but that went from $1150 to $850 I believe. Also the timing chain is known to jump and cause engine failure. Next this stuff may not have to do with safety so I’m sure you will also deny responsibility for is the rear main seal is known to leak. The turbo leaks behind the passenger side front tire. And the driverside back split power heated window is known to shatter. Can anyone tell me how all these can be on the internet as problems and “recommended fixes” then now the new ones get recalls for the same issues and mine is not covered and the new ones are. Yes you can look them all up and see them for yourself. When I found the back window one I was looking to find out how to replace it myself when the first video that showed up was a guy saying he did the same thing looking for how to fix it, and seen videos of people saying that it is a recommended fix for ford. The only receipts I may have, I will look is for the transmission lead frame and the one for the back window. I will look for them. The other problems still

One year ago I experienced my truck down shift to 1st gear suddenly, my truck shut off and a yellow wrench appeared on the dash. I restarted the truck and it ran fine for a week before this happened again. I found a notice from Ford that the NHTSA had required Ford to fix this issue. I took my truck to the local Ford dealer, but they couldn't find the associated code for the problem. They did replace a transmission module. This past week, while driving 65 mph, my truck suddenly down shifted to 1st gear and nearly caused an accident with the vehicles behind me. The same yellow wrench appeared and my truck turned off. This time, at the Ford dealer, they found the code that matched up to the NHTSA alert but they said the repair requirement had expired. I paid $1350.00 for a lead frame replacement. This is exactly the repair required, but Ford would not stand behind the required repair. Do I have any recourse through NHTSA?

My 2013 Ford F-150 King Ranch suddenly downshifted while traveling at highway speeds. It downshifted into 5th gear, not 1st, luckily. This has occurred twice and I will take my truck to my local dealer tomorrow morning. A few years ago, I had transmission work completed because my truck was stuck in first gear and required tuning off the engine to get it back to shifting properly. At that time, I was unaware of the 2019 recall for the transmission control module and speed sensor, and spent money on the repair because my local ford dealer denied that this was part of the recall. I now suspect that was not true.

I had all the recalls done to my vehicle that pertains to a problem with my vehicle suddenly shifting to first gear at freeway speeds. This was done about two years ago. On July 7th, 2024 my vehicle suddenly shifted to first gear while traveling at a rate of 55 miles per hour. My rear tires suddenly locked up and I lost control of my vehicle. Luckily I avoided an accident. I’m reporting this information because Ford’s recall to this problem did not solve the issue and this can cause accidents.

Engine shifted down one gear in the middle of the road while during normally. Almost caused me to loose control of vehicle. This had happen 3 or 4 times. Engine also gets “stuck” in 1st gear until electronic error message comes on dash. Then dash goes blank and then it runs fine. Requires me to restart the engine to fix the issue, however it happens 9/10 times while driving.

When traveling on road and want to speed up to get on freeway, change lanes, or simple speed up I lose power shift and it goes from 6 to 4 or 3 in gears and I can't accelerate which has almost caused many accidents. The check engine signal will only blink right when it's happening and loose speed and the AC air flow will get warm until it corrects itself after I either slow down or shut truck off completely. But always happens when you accelerate at any time.

Truck threw code P2112 Throttle body plate closed. Truck immediatly went into limp mode meaning on only poorly tried to idle, no throttle.

while i was driving the speedometer went all the way to zero and started shifting down into first gear. i took it into a ford shop and they said i was 4000miles over the 150000mile warranty, and that the code p720 popped up on the codes. they said i need to replace the leadframe in the transmission and reprogram it, which will cost me $1500 out of pocket. it is very dangerous driving because i could easily get into an accident when this happens or transmission could blow that gear. i hope ford extends this warranty because i was reading online and found lots of people having the same issue as me.

I was driving on the highway going 70MPH in 6th gear. Myself, my wife, and my 6th month old son were on our way to a doctors appointment when in the middle lane on the highway my truck decided to completely downshift into 1st gear. With doing so my truck locked up and I lost control of the vehicle almost colliding with a semi. I was very lucky to not have wrecked and got onto the shoulder safely where I had no power to my vehicle. I got it towed to a dealership and after paying out of pocket for a diagnostic they found that my truck had a recall with the oss sensor on the transmission witch caused significant engine and transmission damage resulting in $18,000.00 to fix. Apparently the warranty expires 10 years or 150k miles which my truck has surpassed both. I wasn’t warned about any recall or found any recall there was no damage or signs of damage to the truck prior to this incident.

I believe the power train is defaulting. It is available for someone to look at if they come to us, as it is not drivable. The safety of my family and other drivers on the road is at high risk, as the truck shuts off while driving at any given moment without warning. The problem has been ongoing ever since we had the transmission software recall issue, "fixed." We have taken the truck back to the Ford manufacturer, Airport Ford in Florence, Kentucky, twice, with no help of getting the issue resolved. The wrench light came on before the problem started. We looked into that by taking it to Airport Ford in florence Kentucky. The issue is still ongoing and we are currently no longer driving the vehicle as it will no longer stay running. This has been going on since we had the truck fixed due to a recall notice we received in 2019 or 2020. I would love to keep the truck and have the issue resolved as it is the only vehicle we own.

I took my truck in a couple of weeks ago to get the recall done due to downshifting. Picked it up the next day and they told me they resolved the issue. The next day it happened again and it continued for a week. I called the dealership (Holmes Tuttle Ford) and they said they would charge me $200 plus maintenance fee even though it is a recall. Fast forward to today and my truck went out and will not start. Called ford and they informed me that although they cleared the recall they did not actually fix the problem because it was not present when they turned it on and told me I would have to repair it on my own even though they did not attempt to fix it.

As you are driving the vehicle will randomly down shift into first gear, causing the vehicle to potentially slam into first while in mid drive almost as if you hit a wall, this causes the vehicle to lose any information on the dash including speedometer. There are no warning lamps on prior to incident. Took it to a dealer to have it diagnosed and diagnosis was recorded as Transmission speed sensor which was common for recalls recently. Uncertain, how or when it started happening there was an elderly couple who owned the vehicle before me. This incident occurs frequently but not all the time.

While driving at highway speed 75mph our truck shut down with no warning. A wrench light came on with no other warnings. No check engine light no warning went from highway speed to limp mode zero power almost got rear-ended trying to make it off highway with no power. The problem is the throttle body has oil intrusion on the dry electrical side shorting out the motor with OIL! FORD could care less until someone gets killed they will deny any issues! I also have pictures of item full of oil! This is a no warning problem and ford cannot diagnose.

Ford has a known problem with the timing chain that results in needed repairs that cost in excess of $4000. The truck has 85000 miles and has been well maintained. I see that Ford had a recall on Ecoboost V6 engines. However, no recall was made on the V8 5 Liter engine even thoough Ford is well aware of the problem. I believe that Ford is hiding/falsifying information to avoid fixing the problem. I was informed that this issue is not frequent, but does happen in 20 to 25 percent of their vehicles. This is not a warranty issue. This is an issue of Ford not complying with regulations to identify and provide recalls for defective equipment.

I'm having a problem with my transmission locking up on me it's Switching gears without no notice and there is a recall on this I need to be done

Ford knowingly has allowed a faulty design on its 3.5 Ecoboost engine where the exhaust manifold bolts shear off on it's first generation motor. The exhaust manifold bolts shear off allowing exhaust gases to enter the cab thru the firewall. The sheared bolts and leaking manifold also alter the emissions of the vehicle. Exhaust gases in the cab of the vehicle would explain my headaches when driving longer distances. The local Ford Dealer has inspected and confirmed this is a known issue with multiple F-150's manufactured from 2011 -2017. The manufacturer has redesigned the system in vehicles starting in 2018 but has refused to resolve the issue for previous years. The repair estimate from the dealer is $3944. There were no warning signs of the failure and no communications from the manufacturer of this issue prior to a routine service being performed by the local dealer. The manufacturer has been unwilling to resolve this issue to date.

Vehicle coolant leaks in large quantities from rubber seals in a tee connection fitting near the water pump. This type of coolant leak could cause engine failure while in operation and an accident.

I pulled in to traffic and all of a sudden the truck went into limp mode. I barely missed being hit. I pulled up on the median strip with cars going 60 MPH past me. I parked the truck for 30 minutes. The wrench light came on. After sitting for 30 minutes the check engine light came on. I edged off the median and limped the truck to the next exit for a mechanic. The mechanic pulled the code P2112 Throttle Actuator Control System Stuck Closed. This was incredibly dangerous and I could have been hit. In checking on line, it appears to be a common problem that FORD knows about and it should be a recall!!

2013 Ford F150 in the past week has experienced sudden downshift with speedometer dropping to 0 with electronics failing in the vehicle while being operated. I started to research and there was not an official recall but instead treated as a Customer satisfaction program 19N01. I have never received any emails thru the ford app, although my email is registered, never had this brought to my attention by any of the Ford dealers while they were performing routine maintenance. I immediately took the truck to the dealer where it was purchased at Preston Ford, Denton MD. I have been advised that there was a warranty extension done until 10 tears or 150,000 miles. My vehicle currently has 155K miles. I was advised on 12/5 that they will not cover the normally $1200 repair because of the mileage, even though I wasn't provided an explanation why I was not notified. Then I was told due to supply chain issues, Ford is unable to get the lead frame, so they have to order a whole new valve body for $1900.00 if I would like the truck to be repaired. This is my daily vehicle. How is it that an issue that causes a sudden stop, which could lead to collisions and has also been known to shift in reverse not an actual recall since lives are in danger? This should be a true recall and Ford needs to fix. This issue shouldn't have a mileage constraint on it. A serious driving hazard should be rectified regardless of how many miles a vehicle has.

When attempting to coast to a stop at slow speeds the throttle stays up and even causes the truck to accelerate at times. The truck will shift hard randomly. The truck appears to get stuck in a high gear and loses power to accelerate, at times. Driving at highway speeds the truck loses power. A mechanic shop pulled codes p0720 and P0722. The mechanic shop referred me to the dealer because the codes were under an extended warranty for a recall 16s19-supplement #1. The dealer reported that they did not pull any codes off the truck except finding erratic misfires. The dealer reported that the truck engine light has to come on for them to read a code. They reported they can not order the lead frame part until they pull a code off the truck. They also report the part is on back order with no ETA. The trucks wrench light continues to come on but not engine light. An auto body shop was able to pull P0720 code off my truck without the engine light coming on. Ford has not returned my calls.

On October 16, 2022 I was driving at a speed of 45mph. the 2013 F150 changed gears by itself. I maintained control and drove the vehicle home. i got on my computer and looked up the issue to see if others had experienced this and found out there is a recall. Never heard about it until then. I took to the dealership this morning 10/17 and they say they reprogrammed the pcm. Picked up the truck and driving out of the parking lot, the truck did the same thing, only worse. NOW they tell me the truck needs a transmission molded lead frame. BUT they don't have that in stock and it is backordered. They said i needed a transmission diagnostic. i refused that and told them there were no problems until the 16th and now since they supposedly fixed it the problem became worse. Then they said well there is one more thing but we have to hook it us to the computer and it had to show some codes before they could replace that part. it didn't show the codes. I had read about that and told them sometimes codes show and sometimes they don't. I told them to drive the truck and tell me it is fixed They drove it and it had the issue. Mechanic saw the wrench on the dash, tested and the code came up. then he said the truck needed the part. Dealer has the complete part in stock (the molded lead frame with another piece on it) they will charge $1100. I have no choice now but to get it replaced. I need the truck. they had the audacity to call me and tell me they needed to replace the transmission fluid filter, but it would be another $279. Since the didn't have the original part that is warrantied, they should have thrown in the filter. I called a mechanic friend of mine and he said decline the filter. they are just trying to get money out of you. This is really the first issue I have had with the vehicle. I hope this fixes the problem. Ford needs to do something more extensively about this problem before someone is killed.

Speedometer shut off. Truck stayed in 6th gear and wouldn't down shift. Gears are erratic. Wrench shows on screen. Check engine light is on. Truck won't shift properly.

Engine oil continuously spills onto the engine, and it has caused engine failure.

May 18, 2022; Vehicle has 140,650 miles. My truck drove fine all day until It seems the like the transmission failed, it just kicked out of gear. The check engine light came on, as did the air bag light. The truck had no power, no fuel control, and seemed no transmission control. The first time, I was able to coast to a safe area, stop, and put the truck into park. It would not shift back into gear to proceed. I shut the vehicle off, and in park. Restarted and proceeded to continue, then it drove fine for less than 1/2 mile, and the check engine light and air bag light both came on again. The same problem occurred as before, no power and no transmission. I was able to coast to safety again, and shut the truck off again. Placed into park and restarted. Put into gear, and drove to a parts store about 1 mile away, with no problems, but I could feel the transmission hesitating to change gears. The parts store was unable to get any malfunction codes from the truck. We were able to drive the truck home without any other problems yet, 13 miles.

I called Ford to see what they want me to do next and said to have it towed there and I did .Ford cant get power to the truck because there motor is no good. ford also tells me that the oil is way over full. but I know it wasn't over full it holds 6 quarts of oil and I know that.so they state that the oil is over filled and blew the truck up. but the problem is the computer and in that event caused the motor to blow up and push gas and break fluid into the motor truck only has 80,000 miles on it. this I feel as a manufacturers default and frontier ford of Anacortes WA. And ford itself only honors there own techs so they are going by what they say. I have been dealing with this for almost 7 months with out a truck witch has cost me a job and among other issues and loses. feel as they didn't honor or care about the customer or even looking into the dealership that has my truck. when I asked to seek with a supervisor I was told they are no supervisor available and that they would call me back i have still never heard from them. How long must I be without a truck or a jib because they aren't doing there job correctly and making my life here impossible to get a head in such hard time as it is. Thank you [XXX]. L look forward to hearing from you. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Exhaust manifolds warped breaking manifold studs causing exhaust leaks and power loss . Manufacture known design flaw! Could potentially cause carbon monoxide issues.

Warped exhaust manifold. Ford needs to go on line and see how many models are having the same issue. This repair cost 2400.00 for turbo. I have poor gas mileage, poor exclamation, exhaust leak into cabin causing drowsiness..Please help all of us Ford owners

recently purchased this vehicle only to discover that it has a stretched timing chain(noise). Research shows that this has been an ongoing issue with Ford. I'd like to know if Ford has a plan in place to issue a recall notice to fix?

The truck seems to downshift on its own randomly. Thwre are times where i turn the trucm off and turn it back on then its back to normal. Other times it takes about 10 mins to work normaly again. Also the truck won't let me accelerate at times. It just sounds like I'm reving the engine.

Every day the transmission jumps to 1st gear and stays there. We have to pull over and put it in park or neutral then try to drive again. Most of the times it stays in 1st gear for 5 or 6 times of pulling over before it will return to normal. This happens regardless of speed at time it happens. It displays the 'wrench' on the screen, air bag light comes on and speedometer stops working. We are deathly afraid of even getting on a highway. We have read the same problem on the internet happening to hundreds of people, yet there is no recall notice yet. Why are there no recalls if we are all having the EXACT same thing. Some people reported their lead frame harness was replaced and fixed the problem and some reprogrammed the control module.

THE VEHICLE HAS TWO "TYPES" OF PROBLEM THAT MAY BE RELATED. IN SOME CASES, THE TRUCK DROPS DOWN INTO 1ST GEAR REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES SINCE I PICKED UP THE TRUCK FOLLOWING THE ATTEMPTED RECALL REPAIR, BUT NONE OF THESE INCIDENCES OF DROPPING INTO 1ST GEAR CAUSED ERROR CODES TO POP UP. IN ANOTHER "TYPE" OF INCIDENT, THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO ZERO EVEN WHILE IN MOTION, AND THE VEHICLE STAYS IN 3RD GEAR NO MATTER THE SPEED (INCLUDING WHEN NOT IN MOTION, EVEN AFTER SHIFTING INTO PARK AND BACK TO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY JUMPS TO 3RD GEAR BEFORE I EVEN START TO MOVE). DURING THIS SECOND TYPE OF INCIDENT, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, AS DID THE WRENCH/CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THIS SECOND TYPE OF INCIDENT TRIGGERED MANY ERROR CODES: U0401:68-48 B00A0:68-08 U0401:00-08 P0722:00-68 U0401:86-08 U0401:00-08 U0401:68-08 B1083:07-08 U0423:00-28

THE VEHICLE DROPS INTO 1ST GEAR FOR NO REASON, INCLUDING WHEN AT HIGH SPEED. THIS CAUSES THE REAR WHEELS TO SKID AND THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE CONTROL. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO TWO FORD DEALERSHIPS, AND THEY HAVE DONE THE SOFTWARE UPDATE UNDER RECALL 19S07, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. BOTH DEALERSHIPS TELL ME THEY BELIEVE THE LEAD FRAME NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO FIX THE SUDDEN DOWNSHIFTING, BUT FORD CORPORATION REFUSED TO PAY THE COST OF THIS REPAIR BECAUSE FORD CORPORATION SAY THE LEAD FRAME IS NOT COVERED BY THE 19S07 RECALL UNLESS THERE ARE "ERROR CODES" (WHICH THERE ARE NOT, EVEN THOUGH THE TRUCK HAS DOWNSHIFTED THREE TIMES AT SPEEDS OF ABOUT 35 MPH SINCE THEY "FIXED" THE SOFTWARE).

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK USED. ON 2 OCCASIONS IT COMPLETELY SHIFT OFF WITH NO WARNING. I GOOGLED AND READ THAT IF THE ANTIFREEZE RUNS LOW IT WILL COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN UNTIL ANTIFREEZE IS BROUGHT BACK TO LEVEL. RECENTLY I HAVE USED THE VEHICLE MORE. I CHECK THE RESERVOIR AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH FIR THIS PARTICULAR LEVEL. EVERYTIME I HAVE TO ADD ANTIFREEZE. NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER OF ANY LEAKAGE. LAST MONTH I DID NOT CHECK DUE TO HAVING A SHOULDER SURGERY SO THE TRUCK SAT UNFRIENDLY FIR APPROXIMATELY 6 WEEKS. I USED THE TRUCK TO GO TO MY LOCAL WALMART STORE APPROXIMATELY A 9 MILE TRIP ONE WAY. I NOTICED GOING TO STORE THE COOLING FAN CUT ON AND STAYED ON. I LOOKED AT GAUGES AND THEY WERE OK. AFTER PICKING UP GROCERIES I CRANKED THE TRUCK . I PULLED OUT OF PARKING LOT DROVE ABOUT A MILE AND NOTICED MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I STARTED WATCHING THE GAUGES. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS SLOWLY CLIMBING TO THE HOT RANGE. I TURNED IN THE DEFROSTER AND HEATER TO PULL HEAT OFF THE ENGINE CONSTANTLY WATCHING SO I COULD MAKE IT BACK HOME. I LIVE IN A RURAL COMMUNITY AND DID NOT WANT TO BREAK DOWN. I SLOWED MY SPEED TO 20-30 MPH WHICH DID HELP KEEP GAUGE IN SAFE ZONE. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE RESERVOIR WHICH WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. HE ADDED 1-1/2 GALLONS OF COOLANT. WE LET SIT AND THEN CRANKED THE TRUCK IT IS NOW BACK TO RUNNING IN THE NORMAL RANGE. I POSTED WHAT HAPPENED ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE. I HAVE DISCOVERED THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2013 F-150 AND IN MY OPINION VERY DANGEROUS SINCE THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING THAT FLUID LEVEL HAS MYSTERIOUSLY DROPPED AND EVAPORATED AND THE TRUCK SHUTS DOWN AND WILL NOT START UNTIL COOLANT IS REFILLED. I HAVEN'T BEEN STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ... YET... BUT THIS IS CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

FORD ISSUED A TSB NOT A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM AND HAVE LAST MANY MOTORIST INCLUDING MY SELF AT DANGER AS THE ENGINES CAN GO WITHOUT WARNING. FORD HAS DENIED MY CLAIM I MADE THROUGH THEM AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS PASSING THEM OFF AS LACK OF MAINTENANCE AND OUT OF WARRANTY. HOWEVER, MY TRUCK HAS BEEN SERVICED AND WELL TAKEN CARE OFF.

ELECTRONICS IN THE THROTTLE BODY CAUSE A COMPUTER FAULT WHILE DRIVING, WHICH RESULTS IN THE ENGINE (3.5 L TWIN TURBO V-6) INSTANTLY GOING INTO LIMP MODE, WHERE THE ENGINE PRODUCES NO POWER. THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING. IT CAN HAPPEN WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT CAN HAPPEN AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WHERE THE SUDDEN DECELERATION CAN CAUSE A COLLISION, AND WHERE THERE IS NO PLACE TO PULL OVER SAFELY. THIS FAULT IS VERY COMMON IN FORD F-150'S AND FORD AUTOMOBILES. IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IGNORED BY FORD AND THE NHTSA FOR YEARS! IT SHOULD BE THE OBJECT OF A RECALL! I REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY ON MY F-150 AT 75,000 MILES.

WHILE DRIVING FROM OHIO BACK TO NORTH CAROLINA, MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELLING AT 75 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING MY TRUCK ABRUPTLY STALLED TO 5 MPH WITH NO POWER FROM THE ACCELERATOR. I MANAGED TO GET THE TRUCK OUT OF THE HIGH SPEED LANE ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AND ON TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF. A FEW MINUTES LATER, I TURNED THE TRUCK BACK ON AND ALL FUNCTION RESUMED. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST, BUT WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR WORK THERE WAS NO ISSUE REPORTED OR READ AND THE ERROR COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. SERVICE INFORMED ME I HAD A BAD THROTTLE BODY. THIS TRUCK WAS PART OF A "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM" RUN IN 2013 FOR A BAD THROTTLE BODY AND TOTAL LOSS OF ACCELERATION. MY TRUCK RECEIVED THE REPAIR IN 2014 VOIDING THE THROTTLE BODY 10 YEAR OR 150,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE SAFETY CONCERN REMAINS AND IS ENDANGERING MY LIFE, MY WIFE, AND OUR FUTURE CHILD. THE PART MIGHT BE REPLACED WITHOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM. AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE MAY KEEP THIS VEHICLE HAVING REOCCURRENCES. THIS HAS ME VERY CONCERNED ABOUT A SERVICE THAT DOES NOT INCREASE VEHICLE SAFETY. AND BECAUSE OF THAT CONCERN I BEGAN TO INQUIRE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. IT TURNS OUT THAT IN 2015 A CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS FILED AGAINST FORD AND SETTLED ON INDIVIDUAL BASISES (JANIS BENKLE ET AL V FORD MOTOR COMPANY). CURRENTLY, THERE ARE NO PROGRAMS TO ASSIST OWNERS LIKE MYSELF IN THIS SITUATION. THE ORIGINAL PROGRAM IS NO LONGER VALID AND THE REPAIR PERFORMED WAS ONLY GOOD FOR ONE TIME (THAT REPAIR APPARENTLY WOULD NOT SOLVE THE SAFETY CONCERN AS OTHERS HAVE STATED THAT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AFTER A NEW THROTTLE BODY WAS PUT IN). I HAVE SOUGHT OUT AN AUDIENCE WITH THE "ZONE MANAGER". HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE AS CUSTOMER CARE WILL NOT GIVE THAT INFORMATION AND NEITHER WILL THE DEALERSHIP.

THE PICKUP DROVE AND WORKED GOOD PRIOR TO THE RECALL UPDATE AND NOW IT WILL SHIFT RADICALLY AND DASH ICON FLASHING WHEN ACCELERATING RAPIDLY. IN ADDITION THE DRIVERS SEAT IS WEARING OUT. IT SHOULD REAR BETTER THAN THAT. THE PICKUP ONLY HAS 90,178 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD LAST ME LONGER THAN THAT. ONE MORE ISSUE. THE POSITIVE BATTERY POST CONTINUALLY CORRODES. I'VE CLEANED IT MANY TIMES AND STILL CORRODES. PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE ADDRESS THESE ISSUES ON MY F150. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE NO COST TO ME PER YOUR ADVERTISING ON TV.

THE END OF LAST MAY, PULLING OUR CAMPER UP THE RATON PASS, IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND A FOGGY SLEET STORM THE MIL ILLUMINATED, THE ENGINE DIED AND WE WERE BARELY ABLE TO NEGOTIATE OUR WAY BACK TO THE SHOULDER, AFTER JUST HAVING MERGED INTO THE LEFT LANE. WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE TRUCK AND IT DIED A COUPLE MORE TIMES ALONG THE WAY SO WE TOOK IT TO XIT FORD IN DALHART TX. THE TECH THERE FOUND A BUNCH OF CODES STORED IN THE PCM, CLEARED THEM AND SENT US ON OUR WAY AND THE DRIVE BACK TO DALLAS WAS UNEVENTFUL. AFTER WE GOT HOME, THE WIFE WAS DRIVING HER TRUCK ON THE FREEWAY AND IT DIED ON HER ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, SO I TOOK IT TO NORTH CENTRAL FORD, SINCE THEY HAD DONE A PCM RECALL RE-FLASH (19V-075) ON IT PRIOR TO LEAVING FOR OUR TRIP. THEY TOLD US THERE WAS AN EVEN NEWER RE-FLASH AND THE PREFORMED THAT AND IT SEEMED TO SETTLE DOWN. WITH THE RECENT COLD SNAP WE HAVE HAD, THE TRUCK HAS STARTED TO EXHIBIT A "A CRANK NO-START" SYMPTOM AND WITH A LITTLE RESEARCH I CAME ACROSS "TSB 15-0137" WHICH FITS ALL OF OUR SYMPTOMS TO A TEE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION... HAVING YOUR TRUCK DIE ON YOU, WHILE PULLING A TRAILER, UP AN ALMOST 8000 FOOT PASS, IN A STORM... IT IS A WONDER WE WERE NOT KILLED! THE TSB WAS PUBLISHED SEPTEMBER 2, 2015 AND COVERS F150 MODEL YEARS 2009 - 2014. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND I WOULD NOT HAVE FOUND THE CURE WITHOUT THEM. THE ISSUE IS CAUSED BY THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE FUSE NOT HAVING CONTACTS LARGE ENOUGH TO CARRY THE CURRENT REQUIRED, GETTING HOT AND MELTING IN THE FUSE BOX. THE REMEDY LISTED IN THE TSB IS A NEW FUSE WITH CONTACTS AT LEAST 10 TIMES LARGER. WHEN I CHECKED OUR TRUCK FUSE 27 WAS INDEED MELTED AND I ORDERED EL3Z-14293-A AS SPECIFIED IN THE TSB. I AM ALSO SURPRISED THAT NEITHER DEALERSHIP SEEMED TO KNOW ABOUT THE TSB.

I HAVE A F150 4-WHEEL ECO BOOST V6. I RECENTLY HAD MY VEHICLE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND AT THAT TIME DECIDED TO HAVE THE RECALL DONE FOR THE SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE NEXT FEW DAYS I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS SOME HESITATION WITH THE GEARS SHIFTING AND THE TRANSMISSION AT TIMES WOULD DROP. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO BRING MY TRUCK BACK IN AT THAT TIME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT AN OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. SOME DAYS LATER I WAS DRIVING ON THE FEEDER ROAD GETTING READY TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY. AS SOON AS I ENTERED MY SPEEDOMETER STOP WORKING AND THE TRANSMISSION DROPPED INTO 1ST GEAR. THERE WAS A CAR BEHIND ME THAT ALMOST COLLIDED WITH MY TRUCK. MY FAMILY WAS IN THE CAR AT THE TIME AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE NEXT DAY I BROUGHT MY TRUCK BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID A QUICK DIAGNOSIS. THEY STATED THAT I HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND THAT I NEEDED TO LOOK INTO GETTING ANOTHER VEHICLE THROUGH THEM AND TRADING MY TRUCK OUT. I WAS UPSET BY THE RESPONSE SO I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP WHERE THEY THOROUGHLY INSPECTED THE TRUCK. THE FINDINGS WERE THAT THE OSS SENSOR WAS FAULTY AND IT PULL UP A P0270 CODE. THE SHOP ADVISED ME THAT THIS WAS A WARRANTY AND SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT I IMMEDIATELY TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. WHEN I RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY AT THAT TIME ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT WAS A WARRANTY ISSUE AND COULD BE FIX, BUT THEY COULD NOT EVEN LOOK AT IT FOR 2-WEEKS AND WOULD NOT EVEN PROVIDE A LOANER AFTER STATING MY SAFETY CONCERNS. I THEN CONTACT FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY COULD NOT ASSIST UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT MY TRUCK. I DID STATE TO THEM THE TIME ISSUE AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT WAS TOLD THEY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER WHAT THEY DO. I'M STUCK WITH DRIVING A UNSAFE VEHICLE FOR AN ISSUE OUTSIDE OF MY CONTROL AND NO ONE AT FORD IS TAKING THE MATTER SERIOUSLY. THIS COULD CAUSE A FATAL OR SEVERE INJURY.

MY 2013 F150 PLATINUM DIED ON ME WHILE DRIVING, AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED BY DAVID STANLEY FORD IN MIDWEST CITY AND FOUND OUT THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE A FUSE RELOCATION KIT PUT IN TO FIX MY ENGINE FAILURE. I RESEARCHED WHAT THAT WAS, AND FOUND OUT THAT THE FACTORY INSTALLED MINI FUSE RUNNING THE FUEL PUMP CANNOT HANDLE THE AMOUNT OF CURRENT GOING THROUGH IT, AND OVERTIME IT MELTS THE FUSE BOX ITSELF, INSTEAD OF BLOWING THE FUSE, WHICH CAUSES COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. IT IS SUCH A COMMONLY KNOWN ISSUE THAT FORD HAS EVEN ISSUED A TSB EXPLAINING HOW TO FIX AND INSTALL THIS PROBLEM WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED KIT. WHY I AM COMPLAINING IS BECAUSE THIS ISSUE THAT CAUSES DANGEROUS ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AND WHICH LEAVES THE OWNER STRANDED, IS NOT A RECALL WHEN EVEN FORD KNOWS THAT IT IS A FACTORY INSTALLED MALFUNCTION. IT IS 100% A SAFETY ISSUE FOR NOT ONLY THOSE DRIVING 2009-2014 FORD VEHICLES WHERE THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN KNOWN TO OCCUR, BUT ALSO FOR EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD WHEN YOUR FORD VEHICLE DIES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY.

THE OTHER PROBLEM THAT IS REALLY CONCERNING IS THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL SUDDENLY SHIFT ITSELF INTO FIRST GEAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SEND RPMS RACING FOR NO REASON. I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALERSHIP V&H IN MARSHFIELD THAT THEY 'REPROGRAMMED' THE TRANSMISSION BUT THAT STILL HAPPENS FROM TIME TO TIME.

I MENTIONED THAT I SEE A THROTTLE BODY RECALL FOR 2015-2016 F-150'S, BUT FORD IS DENYING THE ISSUE, INDICATING THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY 2013. I FIND MANY COMPLAINTS IDENTICAL TO MINE FOR F-150'S EARLIER THAN 2015. THEY ALSO CLAIM FORD DENIES THE ISSUE AND REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MOST ALSO REFERENCE CONCERN FOR A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE, FEELING THAT FORD WILL ONLY FIX THIS ONCE PEOPLE DIE. I TOOK MY F-150 TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER TODAY AND THEY VERIFIED IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, AND ARE CHARGING ME $650 TO FIX IT. I HAVE READ FROM OTHERS THAT THE COMPONENT USED TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS THE ORIGINAL FAULTY COMPONENT, SO THERE IS NO REASON TO FEEL THAT THE PROBLEM WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN EVENTUALLY.

TURNED OFF ENGINE, RESTARTED AND SPEEDOMETER WORKED AGAIN. CALL LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND DROVE CAR TO SHOP. AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS THEY'RE TELLING ME NOTHING THEY DID ON A SOFTWARE UPDATE WOULD CAUSE THE PROBLEM. YET I NEVER HAD IT HAPPEN BEFORE AND THE RECALL WAS FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM I'M HAVING. ALSO IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS A RECALL ON PREVIOUS YEARS THAT REPLACED MORE THAN JUST SOFTWARE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I DON'T BELIEVE THE CLAIMS OF ONLY CAUSING 5 ACCIDENTS WITH NO INJURIES. THIS HAS PROBABLY BEEN THE CAUSE OF 1000S OF ACCIDENTS AND ALSO DEATHS. BUT PEOPLE PROBABLY ARE NOT REALIZING WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING WHEN A ACCIDENT ACURRS. AFTER RESEARCH IT LOOKS 5O BE POSSIBLE LEAD FRAME OR SPEED SENSOR.

VEHICLE IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED HAVE ALL RECORDS, IF TURBO WERE TO FAIL WHILE DRIVING IT COULD HAVE POSSIBLY DESTROYED THE ENGINE STATED THE DEALER. WHY IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE ENGINE FAILING AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE? VEHICLE ALSO HAS INTERMITTENT SHIFTING PROBLEM AROUND 40-45MPH SEEMS TO SHIFT ERRATICALLY, DEALER SAYS TRANSMISSION LEAD FRAME COULD BE ISSUE OR ECM/PCM PROGRAMMING, THEY HAVE NOT DONE ANY OF THOSE REPAIRS YET.

DRIVING ON MAJOR HIGHWAY, 65-75 MPH, LOST ENGINE POWER AND HAD TO PULL OVER, TRYING NOT TO CAUSE A WRECK, AND STOPPED BETWEEN BUSY HIGHWAY AND ON-RAMP TO THE HIGHWAY. FOUND THAT THE ENGINE HAD STALLED AND WOULDN'T RESTART. FOUND #27 FUSE MELTED. CHANGED FUSE AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART ENGINE. I DON'T LIKE REPAIRING FORD'S ENGINEERING MISTAKES, NOR DO I LIKE BEING PUT IN DANGER BECAUSE OF THEM. I USE THIS TRUCK FOR WORK AND HAVE A LIFETIME'S ACCUMULATION OF SPECIALTY TOOLS KEPT IN THIS TRUCK FOR MY JOB. IF THE TRUCK GOES UP IN FLAMES, WILL FORD REPLACE WHAT IS LOST? THE WAY THIS FUSE, FUSE BOX, AND THE CONNECTION HAS FAILED LOOKS AS THERE CAN POTENTIALLY BE A FIRE. IN MY CASE, THERE WAS AN INTERRUPTION IN NORMAL TRAFFIC FLOW, AT HIGH SPEED, THAT COULD A RESULTED IN A WRECK, INJURY, DEATH, ETC. I WILL FIX THIS, PROBABLY ON MY OWN DIME. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY IS THIS NOT REQUIRED TO BE FIXED BY FORD. IT'S AN OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD THAT EVEN FORD HAS ACKNOWLEDGED AND PROVIDED A TSB TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM.

AT APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES MY TRUCK WOULD OCCASIONALLY MAKE A RATTLING SOUND IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE. OVER TIME IT GOT WORSE, I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS PROBABLY A LOSE COVER, OR A COMPONENT SUCH AS A WATER PUMP WAS FAILING AND IT WOULD BE HARD TO KNOW WHICH ONE IT WAS UNTIL IT FAILED COMPLETELY. SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. TIME PASSED, MILAGE WENT UP AND THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE. I STARTED RESEARCHING THE ISSUE MYSELF AND REALIZED IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN AND PHAZERS. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE AND IF IT HAPPENS AT THE WRONG TIME COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ECOBOOST TRUCK FROM 2011-2016 MODELS AND IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS VERY EARLY IN THE VEHICLES LIFE(AROUND 50K MILES). APPARENTLY IT IS DUE TO THE EXCESSIVELY LONG TIMING CHAIN AND WEAK PHAZERS.

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY SPUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AND ALSO WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I REPLACED THE IGNITION COIL AND SPARK PLUG IN CYLINDER 3. UNFORTUNATELY, THE INTERMITTENT SPUTTER CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ACTIVATED. ACCELERATING IN TRAFFIC AND FROM A STOP IS DANGEROUS AND REQUIRES ADDITIONAL ATTENTION AND DRIVING TECHNIQUES TO PREVENT A POTENTIAL REAR END COLLISION CAUSED BY A VEHICLE APPROACHING MY VEHICLE FROM THE REAR.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A RATE OF 70-75 MPH, I NOTICED BY SPEEDOMETER TWITCH A FEW TIMES. I FOCUSED ON IT WHILE DRIVING AND NOTICED THE TRUCK DOWNSHIFT TO 3RD GEAR FROM 6TH, AND THE SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO ABOUT 45MPH ON A DIME. ANOTHER INSTANCE I WAS DRIVING HOME, AND THE TRUCK DECIDED TO SHIFT FROM 6TH GEAR DOWN TO 1ST, AFTER WHICH I QUICKLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND SLOWED TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER. WHILE DRIVING ON A DIRT ROAD ABOUT 40MPH MY TRUCK THEN SHIFTED FROM 5TH TO 3RD LURCHED AND WENT BACK TO 5TH GEAR. AN ODD EXPERIENCE IS WHEN MY TRUCK, WHEN IN A PARKING LOT SHIFTED FROM 1ST GEAR TO 5TH(???) I PULLED OVER AND PLACED THE VEHICLE IN THE MANUAL MODE FOR SHIFTING AND DROVE A FEW MILES. AFTER WHICH I RECEIVED A WRENCH SYMBOL AND MY ALL OF MY METERS WENT INTO A DASHED MODE. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF, THEN TURNED BACK ON MY TRUCK AND DIDN'T HAVE ANYMORE ISSUES. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE WIRING IN THE TRANSMISSION. WE WILL SEE IF THAT FIXES THE ISSUE, HOWEVER I GOT A RECALL NOTIFICATION IN THE MAIL FOR INVOLUNTARY DOWNSHIFTING WHICH MAKE ME THINK THERE IS ANOTHER UNDERLYING ISSUES, OTHER THAN THE WIRING.

APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS AGO I PURCHASED A USED 2013 FORD F-150 FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN WARREN, MICHIGAN. RECENTLY I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL DETAILING A RECALL REGARDING VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 6R80 TRANSMISSION ' SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT (SAFETY RECALL 19S07). AFTER RECEIVING MY POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE UPDATE APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AGO FROM SZOTT FORD IN HOLLY, MICHIGAN, I EXPECTED MY TRANSMISSION TO RUN SMOOTHLY. SIX DAYS AGO, WHILE PULLING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION, MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT LEAVE FIRST GEAR. SOMEHOW, I AVOIDED BEING HIT FROM CROSSING TRAFFIC. SHORTLY AFTER AVOIDING AN ACCIDENT, THE VEHICLE THEN SWITCHED ABRUPTLY FROM FIRST GEAR TO FIFTH GEAR (GOING AROUND 10 MPH). AFTER PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT I TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, IT STARTED IN FIFTH GEAR. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO MANUAL AND WOULD NOT LEAVE FIFTH GEAR. AT NO POINT DURING THIS TIME DID AN ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. AFTER SWITCHING THE CAR INTO FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE WORKING SMOOTHLY AGAIN. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME THAT EVERYTHING IS WORKING PROPERLY AND SINCE NO ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS TO DIAGNOSE OR FIX. SAFETY RECALL 19S07 DID NOT FIX THIS VEHICLES ISSUES. LAST NIGHT THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. IT WOULD NOT LEAVE 1ST GEAR. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THE CAR WOULD SIT IN SECOND GEAR THEN JUMP TO 5TH GEAR. VERY DANGEROUS PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF ANYTHING BECAUSE THE CAR BASICALLY STALLS IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SAFETY RECALL 19S07 DID NOT WORK.

AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE TRUCK AND RESTARTING IT, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME BUT THE PROBLEM REOCCURED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I COULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. AT THE DEALER - IT WAS NOTED THAT THIS IS IDENTICAL (BOTH IN TRUCK ACTIONS AND ELECTRONIC CODES) TO THE 16N02 RECALL FOR 2011-2012 FORD -F-150'S BUT THAT MINE WAS NOT COVERED DUE TO MY VIN NUMBER NOT BEING PART OF THAT BATCH. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRED (AS OFFERED IN THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED WARRANTEE) SO THAT MY TRUCK WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THERE WAS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE OR WEAR TO ANY OF THE PARTS THAT NEEDED REPLACED. LOOKING ONLINE - THIS HAS OCCURRED IN SEVERAL 2013 FORD F-150 ACCORDING TO MESSAGE BOARDS - AND WE HOPE FORD WILL CONSIDER EXPANDING THE RECALL AND PREVENTING THIS ISSUE FROM OCCURRING TO OTHER OWNERS.

WIDELY REPORTED- PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! VERY SIMILAR TO EXISTING RECALL*, BUT NOT THE SAME. POTENTIALLY DEADLY. CURRENT RECALL DOES NOT ADDRESS THE SUDDEN UP-SHIFTS MENTIONED HERE. 2013 FORD F-150 MFG DEFECT: MOLDED LEADFRAME ASSY IN 6R80 TRANSMISSION SYMPTOMS: INTERMITTENT LOSS OF SPEED SIGNAL CAUSES SUDDEN/UNEXPECTED SLAMMING UPSHIFT FROM 1ST GEAR TO 5TH WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, CAUSING A COMPLETE AND UNEXPECTED LOSS OF ALL ACCELERATION. INDICATIONS: 5TH GEAR SUDDENLY INDICATED ON DISPLAY, DASHES REPLACE NUMBERS ON SPEED/MILEAGE RELATED DISPLAYS (MPG, ODOMETER). SPEEDOMETER MAY READ 0, AIRBAG SYMBOL POPS ON, LARGE ORANGE WRENCH SYMBOL MAY BRIEFLY APPEAR. PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR DOES NOT CAUSE DOWNSHIFT. MOTOR MAY STALL. REMAINS IN 5TH GEAR WITHOUT SOME OTHER CORRECTIVE ACTION. TURNING ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON WILL RESET THE COMPUTER, AND VEHICLE OPERATES NORMALLY UNTIL NEXT OCCURRENCE. DANGERS: THIS COULD BE FATAL WHEN PULLING OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, BOTH FROM THE SIDE (PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC FROM SIDE STREET) OR FROM REAR (SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED LOSS OF SPEED/ NO BRAKE LIGHTS). FORD CANNOT FIX THIS BY RE-PROGRAMMING THE VEHICLE TO IGNORE THE FAULTY SENSOR ANY MORE THAN YOU CAN IGNORE AN ONCOMING CEMENT TRUCK OR TRAIN. REPAIR IS APPROXIMATELY $800. IF NOT RECALLED, OWNERS MAY TRY TO LIVE WITH THE RISKS OR TRADE TO AN UNKNOWING PERSON, ENDANGERING LIVES OF OTHERS. *THIS DEFECTIVE PART IS ALSO THE ROOT CAUSE OF FORD RECALL #19S07, INVOLVING SUDDEN VIOLENT DOWN-SHIFTS (NOT UPSHIFTS). FORD IS AVOIDING THE PROBLEM BY RE-PROGRAMMING THE ECU TO IGNORE THE INTERMITTENT SPEED SIGNALS, ALLOWING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL MORE GRACEFULLY, DEFECTS TO BE REPAIRED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. THIS APPROACH WILL NOT WORK FOR THE UP-SHIFT PROBLEM. THE DEFECTIVE PART SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY REPLACED AT FORD'S EXPENSE TO CORRECT BOTH PROBLEMS.

THIS RISKS THE LIVES OF THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS AND EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU MUST BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP, SHUT IT OFF, WAIT FOR COMPUTER TO CYCLE, THEN RESTART. FORD SHOULD BE EXPANDING THE RECALL TO REPLACE THIS DEADLY MALFUNCTIONING PART AT THEIR COST. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES WITHIN 30 DAYS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS BOUGHT FROM MAXWELL FORD IN AUSTIN TEXAS. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED IT WAS IN A PARKING LOT AFTER JUST STARTING THE TRUCK AND BACKING OUT OF A STALL.

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND WON'T RESTART FOR HOURS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE MAY AND TWICE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2018. EACH TIME IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE FORD DEALER SAYS THAT THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG THAT CAN BE RECREATED. I HAVE STALLED OUT ON AN 8 LANE HIGHWAY. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE. I RECENTLY HAD THE ENTIRE TRUCK SERVICED, FROM OIL CHANGE TO THROTTLE BODY CLEANING TO SPARK PLUGS TO TRANSMISSION CLEANED, AXLES CLEANED. ALL OF THIS WAS DONE MID AUGUST 2018 AND STILL HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE. I HAVE 102,367 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. WHEN I LOOKED TO SEE IF THERE WERE OTHERS WITH THIS ISSUE, I FOUND THAT THERE WERE MANY AND THAT FORD IS REFUSING TO ISSUE A RECALL TO REPAIR THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS MALFUNCTION. I AM SITTING ON THE ROADWAY RIGHT AT THE MOMENT, WAITING FOR AAA TO TOW MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP.

THE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BLEW THE FUSE. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW WHERE MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN AND FORD HAS A SERVICE ADVISORY ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT CHARGE THE OWNER WITH MAKING THE CORRECTION TO THE DEFECTIVE WIRING. THEY DO NOT SIMPLY REPLACE THE MINI 10 AMP FUSE BUT INSTEAD REPLACE A PART OF THE WIRING AND RELOCATE IT TO A STANDARD 20 AMP FUSE. WHEN I EXPLAINED MY CONCERN ABOUT ENGINEERING A FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR A 10 AMP RATING AND SWITCHING IT TO THE 20 AMP WHICH COULD ALLOW OTHER PARTS OF THE SYSTEM TO OVERLOAD HE BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT FORD HAD DECIDED THIS WAS HOW THEY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM BUT NOW I HAVE THE CONCERN OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE SYSTEM FAILING AND SURE ENOUGH IT WAS LESS THAN TWO WEEKS LATER THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE FAILED CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO STOP RUNNING. THE SERVICE MANAGER ALSO TOLD ME I WAS LUCKY AS HE HAD SEEN TOTAL MELT DOWNS OF FUSE PANELS FROM THIS DEFECT. THIS HAS COST ME $805 IN REPAIRS DUE TO A FAULTY WIRING DESIGN.

ON APRIL 14, 2018 I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 F-150 ON THE HIGHWAY APPROXIMATELY 70MPH IN THE RAIN WHEN THE BACK WHEELS SUDDENLY LOCKED UP AND I ABRUPTLY BEGAN STOPPING AND I LOST CONTROL, FISHTAILING TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT (ALMOST TO A SPIN), BARELY MISSING VEHICLES AROUND ME AND THE WALL TO THE LEFT. THE CAR BEHIND ME SOMEHOW VEERED AROUND AND MISSED ME TOO. AS THIS WAS HAPPENING THE TRUCK WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE AS IT AUTOMATICALLY SLOWED DOWN. I SOMEHOW MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE I PARKED AND SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND TRIED TO SETTLE DOWN AND GAIN MY COMPOSURE (...IT WAS SCARY, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE FROM THIS INCIDENT!). I RESTARTED THE TRUCK AND SLOWLY BEGAN DRIVE. IT SEEMED TO DRIVE OK SO I DECIDED TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. AS I WAS DRIVING CAUTIOUSLY, WELL BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT ON A 40MPH ROAD THE ENGINE THEN SHUT DOWN AND I COULD SEE A SCREEN APPEAR WITH "LOW OIL PRESSURE". I GLIDED TO A PARKING LOT AND HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK (SUBURBAN FORD OF WATERFORD MICHIGAN). THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS A KNOCK IN THE ENGINE AND SAID IT THREW A ROD. THEY SAID THE ENGINE FAILURE WAS THE RESULT OF THE WHEELS LOCKING UP. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THE EXACT SAME ISSUE ON 2013 F-150'S WITH THE TRANSMISSION AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFTING TO A LOW GEAR CAUSING THE REAR WHEELS TO LOCK UP. THE DEALER SAID THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS AND SAID THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ON 2011 AND 2012 F-150'S FOR THIS BUT NO RECALL PRESENTLY ACTIVE ON THE 2013 F-150. I PURCHASED A FULL WARRANTY FOR THE TRUCK WHEN NEW BUT THE TRUCK IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AT 110K MILES. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD PROVIDE A REFURBISHED ENGINE FOR $10,000. I'VE BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH FORD AND THE DEALER AT THIS POINT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. SEE: HTTP://AUTOWEEK.COM/ARTICLE/RECALLS/FORDS-DOWNSHIFTING-RECALL-MAY-EXPAND

AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART MY VEHICLE. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ONE THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP.

BACK IN 2013 AN INVESTIGATION WAS STARTED FOR THIS ISSUE. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE CARS COMPUTERS DID NOT THROW A CODE. NOT ONLY DID NOTHING HAPPEN FORD DID NOT MENTION ANY TSB THAT WOULD HELP OR FIX THIS ISSUE, AFTER I ASKED ABOUT ANY TSB THAT WOULD HELP OR FIX. STILL I GOT NOTHING FROM THE DEALERSHIP.

WE HAVE HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED 2 X'S IN THE LAST YEAR AND IT CONTINUES TO DO IT INTERMITTENTLY. UNFORTUNATELY THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN NOT RECREATE IT AND IT DOES NOT COME UP WITH A DIAGNOSTIC CODE THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO HELP US WITH THE ISSUE. I CALLED FORD AFTER LOOKING IT UP ONLINE AND SAW THAT THERE ARE MANY OF THE SAME OCCURRENCES HAPPENING WITH OTHERS OUT THERE. THEY STATED THERE IS NOT A RECALL AND BASICALLY I NEEDED TO JUST KEEP TRYING AT THE DEALERSHIP LEVEL. THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF!

3.5 ECO-BOOST ENGINE ON TWO OCCASIONS PUT ME IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION BY CAUSING A LOSS OF THROTTLE RESPONSE. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED A "WRENCH ICON" FLASHED WITH A LOSS OF POWER. NO THROTTLE RESPONSE UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED. WHEN THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED I WAS TOWING A TRAILER AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND HAD A DIFFICULT TIME PULLING OUT OF TRAFFIC ONTO THE SHOULDER. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED A TROUBLE CODE OF P2112 WAS SET AND THE CEL CAME ON. THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED EACH TIME. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I HAD 23131 MILES AND FORD REPLACED THE PART UNDER WARRANTY, THE SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS AT 45558 MILES AND I HAD TO COVER THE COST FOR REPLACEMENT. WITH THE LOSS OF POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEED THIS COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC AT A CRITICAL MOMENT. THE FORD SERVICE MANAGERS CAN'T GIVE ME A REASON WHY THIS PART IS FAILING.

Mileage: 45,558

I EXCELERATED FROM A STOP, SUDDENLY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH AND I STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND ACCELERATION.

AS I AM DRIVING THE 2013 FORD F-150 RAPTOR 6.2L THE GEARS SEEM TO BE OFF, IF I AM DRIVING ONLY 30MPH THE GEAR IS AT 6. ALSO THE MORE DANGEROUS AND SCARY THING IS THAT IT SHIFTS DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING, I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35MPH AND THE GEAR SEEM TO SHIFT DOWN TO 1 LOCKING MY REAR TIRES AND MAKING ME SKID ALMOST CAUSING THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME TO RUN INTO ME. THE TIRES LOCKED ALMOST AS IF I PUT THE BRAKES ON. I'M GLAD I WAS ONLY GOING 35MPH BUT WHAT IF I'M GOING 80, THIS WOULD BE A MORE DANGEROUS AND SCARY SCENARIO. IT ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I TURNED ON TO A STREET AND AS I STARTED TO ACCELERATE IT DROPPED MY GEAR TO 1, LOCKED MY WHEELS AND ACTED LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO SHIFT OR ACCELERATE , I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF ROAD, I SAT THERE FOR A FEW MINUTES WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED AND WENT ON MY WAY NERVOUS IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, WHICH IT DIDN'T AND MADE IT HOME. NEXT DAY I TOOK TO FORD AND THEY SAID THEY CANT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE SO THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO. THIS IS SCARY , I DON'T FELL SAFE WITH ME AND MY SON IN THIS VEHICLE. WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION? WHAT IS MY NEXT OPPOSITION TO GET THIS FIXED. THANK YOU

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT ROUGHLY 70 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, TRUCK LOST POWER AND STARTED TO COAST. SPEEDOMETER SWEPT TO 0 INDICATED SPEED, TACHOMETER INDICATED ENGINE AT IDLE SPEED, AROUND 1000 RPM, WHILE COASTING FROM 70 MPH SLOWING TO ROUGHLY 40 MPH. VEHICLE REGAINED POWERED DRIVE BRIEFLY THEN AGAIN LOST POWER AND COASTED. AFTER RESUMING COASTING, THE BACK TIRES THEN BREIFLY LOCKED UP, VEHICLE SHUDDERED, THEN RESUMED COASTING. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS VEHICLE BEING DRIVEN IN TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE AND BECAME NEARLY UNCONTROLLABLE. EXPLANATION FROM DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS THAT THE WIRING HARNESS FROM TRANSMISSION TO ECU PASSES THROUGH FIREWALL THROUGH A GROMMET THAT IS KNOWN TO FAIL. THE WIRING CHAFES AND CAUSES A SHORT AND THE TRANSMISSION TO MALFUNCTION. APPARENTLY A TSB IS ISSUED FOR REPAIR AT CUSTOMER'S EXPENSE PER DEALER BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND IT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROVERBIAL TICKING TIMEBOMB FOR F150 OWNERS AND SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE SUBJECT TO A RECALL.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY FORD F150 TRUCK 2013 WAS PURCHASED IN 2014 BRAND NEW.

I BELIEVE AND GATHERING FROM WHAT MY MECHANICS IS SAYING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE COIL? WHICH IS WHY THE SPARKS PLUG IN BLACK FOR THE SECOND TIME. THIS ALL STARTED FROM A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES THE TRIED FLUSHING THE BREAKS AND SAME THING THAN THEY LOOKED INTO THE ENGINE AND CHANGED THE SPARKS PLUG (JAN) NOW IN APRIL SAME ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING AT A RELATIVELY STEADY 55-60 MPH (ON A RAINY AFTERNOON), I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR DOWN IN AN EFFORT TO OVERTAKE A VEHICLE. IMMEDIATELY, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING, THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHIMMY, AND I STARTED TO LOSE POWER. UNABLE TO ACCELERATE ANY MORE, I PROMPTLY EXITED THE INTERSTATE, PARKED, SHUT OFF MY VEHICLE IN AN EFFORT TO ALLOW IT TO "RESET".

COOLING SYSTEM CONNECTIONS. FORD HAS PUT IN CLIPS ON HOSES THAT CONNECT TO OVERFLOW FOR COOLING SYSTEM AND ON A Y-CONNECTOR AT FRONT OF MOTOR THAT NOT ONLY LEAK ALL THE TIME BUT CAN JUST POP OFF AND CAUSE THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO KEEP BUCKETS UNDER MY TRUCK TO CATCH FLUID. FORD WANT AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY TO FIX AND BASED ON WHAT I HAVE READ IN FORUMS THE FIX MAY ONLY LAST A WEEK AND START LEAKING AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ON THE 5.0V-8 ECONOBOOST..

MULTIPLE TIMES NOW, MY TRUCK WILL DOWNSHIFT AND SEND THE RPMS OVER 4500 THIS CAUSES THE ENGINE TO MISFIRE, THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL BLINK AND THE TRUCK WILL STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN ITS SPEED AND ANY ACCELERATION IS EXTREMELY DIMINISHED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I FREQUENTLY DRIVE ON RURAL 2-LANE(ONE IN EACH DIRECTION) HIGHWAYS AND FIND THIS PROBLEM SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTS MY ABILITY TO SAFELY PASS SLOWER VEHICLES. IT HAS FAILED TO ACCELERATE ENOUGH TIMES THAT I CANNOT DEPEND ON THE TRUCK TO ACCELERATE WHEN I MOVE INTO ONCOMING LANES OF TRAFFIC. AT 30,000 MILES THE ENGINE DEVELOPED AN OIL LEAK. WITHIN A MONTH OF HAVING THE LEAK REPAIRED AT THE DEALER, THE ENGINE EXPERIENCED A MAJOR MISFIRE EVENT CAUSING THE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED THAT TWO IGNITION COILS WENT BAD AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. THIS CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE SPARK PLUGS FOR WHICH I WAS CHARGED APPROX $250 BUT WAS ABLE TO NEGOTIATE IT DOWN TO $140. WITHIN A MONTH OF GETTING THE VEHICLE BACK, THE VEHICLE STARTED DISPLAYING THE MISFIRE SYMPTOMS WITH DIMINISHED ACCELERATION AND BLINKING ENGINE LIGHT. VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCE!

IF YOU HAVE AN ECOBOOST V6. I HAVE NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES WHEN YOU HAVE TO ACCELERATE VERY QUICKLY THE VEHICLE TAKES UP TO 5 SECONDS TO RESPOND AND GIVE YOU ANY POWER. I ASSUME THAT THE COMPUTER IS SPINNING UP THE TWIN TURBOS BUT THOSE CRITICAL SECONDS CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE ON A FEW OCCASIONS ALMOST GOT RAN OVER BECAUSE THE TRUCK DECIDED TO TAKE ITS TIME GIVING ME POWER TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. ITS LIKE FOR THOSE FEW SECONDS YOU HAVE NO POWER.

I BOUGHT MY TRUCK NEW FROM THE DEALER 2013. I'M CONSISTENT WITH ALL THE UP KEEPS OF MY TRUCK. HOWEVER, MID AUGUST 2016, I NOTICED THE TRUCK HESITATED TO START AT THE BEGINNING WHILE IN STATIONARY POSITION FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN OUT OF NOWHERE FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT, THE ENGINE DIDN'T START IN THE MORNING AGAIN WHILE IN STATIONARY POSITION AND THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP! I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY THINKING THAT MAYBE IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, EVEN WITH THE NEW BATTERY THE TRUCK FAILED TO START IN STATIONARY. AFTER THAT, I TRIED STARTING MY TRUCK FOR TWO CONSECUTIVE DAYS, BY THE THIRD DAY THE TRUCK STARTED! I DROVE IT IMMEDIATELY TO AUTOZONE BUT NOTHING CAME UP WRONG WITH IT? SO, I DROVE IT BACK HOME. A WEEK LATER, I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUCK, LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPEN. THEN, YESTERDAY ALL OF A SUDDEN I WAS DRIVING HOME, WHILE IN MOTION THE ENGINE DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET, SO I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE TRUCK AS IT CONTINUED TO HESITATE. FINALLY, AFTER 10 MINUTES THE TRUCK STARTED AND I DROVE TO AUTOZONE AND AGAIN NOTHING CAME UP WRONG WITH IT. SO I DROVE IT BACK HOME. THEN, TODAY, WHICH IS SEPTEMBER 2, 2016 WHILE THE TRUCK IS STATIONARY IT FAILED TO START AND THE ENGINE LIGHT, CAME UP AGAIN. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK! I DON'T FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE IN FEAR THAT MY TRUCK WILL STOP WORKING WHILE IN MOTION AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I CAN GET STRANDED ANYWHERE AT ANYTIME.

I GET THE ENGINE CODE P0301 WHICH IS AN ENGINE MISFIRE WHEN DRIVING IN ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. THE TRUCK ENGINE STUMBLES AND HAS REDUCED POWER WHEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION ESPECIALLY WHEN I TRY TO PULL A CARGO TRAILER.

MY 2013 F150 ECOBOOST HAS APPROXIMATELY 65K MILES ON IT AND HAS RECENTLY BEGUN STALLING WHILE IN OPERATION - ALWAYS MOVING. WHEN THIS OCCURS, AN ORANGE CRESCENT WRENCH APPEARS ON THE INFORMATION CENTER, THE RPM'S BEGIN TO FLUCTUATE, THE TRUCK LOSES ALL ACCELERATION POWER, THE TRUCK BEGINS TO SHUTTER, AND I AM FORCED TO IMMEDIATELY STOP AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC TIME WHEN THIS HAPPENS AS OPPOSED TO NOT, AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE TRAFFIC AROUND ME HAS NO WAY TO ANTICIPATE THE ISSUE EITHER. THE SHOP I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO STATED THEY "THINK" IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY, BUT ARE NOT POSITIVE. THIS IS MY FIRST FORD IN SEVERAL YEARS/CARS AND THOUGH ORIGINALLY PLEASED WITH THE TRUCK, I AM QUICKLY BECOMING FRUSTRATED.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS A CAR ON A RELATIVELY BUSY 2 LANE HIGHWAY ON SAT AUG 13 2016, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK LOST POWER AND SPEED. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTINUE PASSING WHEN THIS OCURRED. ANOTHER VEHICLE COMING FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION WAS CLOSING IN FAST, AND THE CAR I WAS PASSING (WAS JUST UP BY THE FRONT SIDE OF IT) WAS BEGINNING TO PASS ME NOW. I KNOW THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH ME OR MY VEHICLE. I ENDED UP LETTING OFF THE GAS PEDDLE AND DUCKED IN BEHIND THE CAR I WAS PASSING. IT WAS ONLY SECONDS WHEN THE VEHICLE COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION WENT BY. VERY SCARY FOR ME AND MY WIFE AS IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER FOR ALL INVOLVED. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME WAS JUST ACCELERATING, AND POSED NO THREAT OR ENDANGERMENT. MY SON HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO IS (2011 FX4 ECOBOOST) AND WAS TOLD BY A DEALER THAT HE MAY HAVE GOTTEN WATER IN THE FUEL. I DON'T AGREE WITH THE STATEMENT. IF NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED OR KILLED YET, I FEEL IT WILL HAPPEN, BECAUSE OUR INCIDENT WAS CLOSE ENOUGH FOR ME TO BE WRITING THIS TO YOU.

IN THE SPAN OF ONE WEEK THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WENT INTO "LIMP MODE", ON THREE (3) SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE CONSOLE DISPLAY GOES ORANGE, WITH A WRENCH. TWO OF THE INSTANCES OCCURRED AT STEADY SPEED GREATER THAN 50 MPH. ONE EVENT WAS WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THROUGH A RIGHT TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR SERVICE. NO OBD CODES WERE STORED AND THE EVENTS CANNOT BE REPLICATED AFTER A WEEK OF TESTING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD! THE VEHICLE MUST BE STOPPED IN ORDER TO SHUT IT DOWN AND RESTART, WHERE THE DISPLAY CLEARS AND IT RUNS NORMALLY UNTIL WITHOUT WARNING, IT OCCURS AGAIN. FORD DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE AN ANSWER. PANIC COULD EASILY ENSUE FORM THIS LOSS OF POWER AND THE DRIVERS ABILITY TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE & DEATH.

WHILE DRIVING (ON HIGHWAY OR ELSEWHERE), V8 ENGINE WILL STALL AND STOP SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. HAPPEN TO ME TWICE ON 2 DAYS. WON'T CREATE ANY FAULT IN THE OBD. FIRST TIME, HAPPEN TO ME ON THE HIGHWAY, I WAS VERY LUCKY NOT TO HAVE BEEN HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES. TOOK THE CAR TO FORD FARWAY IN GREENVILLE, SC, THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE CAR WILL ALWAYS START BACK AFTER 45 MIN TO AN HOUR. THEN WILL SHUT DOWN FOR NO REASON AGAIN. THIS IS A THREATENING WITH POTENTIAL DEATH SITUATION IF IT HAPPEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC... SO PLEASE, ASK FORD TO INVESTIGATE ALL V8 TO FIND QUICKLY THE REASON WHY THIS IS HAPPENING.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2013 FORD F150 WITH ECOBOOST, THE ENGINE CUTS OUT AND I LOSE POWER. THE WRENCH SYMBOL COMES ON. THE TRUCK STAYS RUNNING BUT YOU CAN'T ACCELERATE. THE TRUCK STARTS TO VIBRATE. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THERE'S NO WARNING AND NO PATTERN AS TO WHEN IT HAPPENS. IT HAPPENS AT BOTH SLOW AND FAST SPEEDS. YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. THEN WHEN YOU RESTART IT, IT WORKS AGAIN. THERE'S NO PATTERN AS TO HOW LONG IT WILL WORK. SOMETIMES IT CUTS OUT IMMEDIATELY AND SOMETIMES WEEKS LATER. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE CLOSEST FORD DEALER TWICE. ONCE THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. THAT PROVED TO BE A TEMPORARY FIX BECAUSE IT DID IT AGAIN A FEW MONTHS LATER. THE NEXT TIME THEY RESET THE PCM. THAT ONLY WORKED FOR A FEW WEEKS. I HAVE A THIRD APPOINTMENT COMING UP. BUT I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE THEY HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OR HOW TO FIX IT. THEY WILL JUST KEEP TRYING DIFFERENT THINGS UNTIL THEY FIND THE ISSUE. IT'S OBVIOUSLY AN ENGINE MANUFACTURER ISSUE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED IMMEDIATELY. THIS TRUCK IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I AM A STAY AT HOME DAD AND I TRANSPORT MY KIDS IN THIS TRUCK. WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC WHEN IT STALLED 6 TIMES. THREE OF THOSE 6 TIMES WE WERE ALMOST HIT. I BELIEVE FORD WILL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS MESS UNTIL SOMEONE ACTUALLY DIES IN AN ACCIDENT.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE THROTTLE WAS LOST. THE TRUCK WENT FROM 65 MPH TO 5 MPH IN A MATTER OF A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF TRYING TO MANEUVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, GOING ONLY 5 MPH, THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP, AND THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, NOR WOULD IT SHOW UP IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. TOOK IT HOME, AND LATER THAT EVENING, IT LOST THE THROTTLE AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP THE NEXT DAY AFTER LOOKING AT THIS WEBSITE, AND TOLD THEM TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY TO SEE IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. HAVEN'T HAD ANY OTHER ISSUES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE A WRECK OR LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. IT COST ME OVER $300 TO FIX THIS ISSUE. FORD SHOULD REALLY ISSUE A RECALL SINCE MANY VEHICLES HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE.

N JUNE 20, 2016 MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON U.S. 60 IN MO WHEN THE ENGINE ON MY 2013 F150 VIN ECOBOOST JUST QUIT. IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN TRAFFIC. WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT WAS TOWED TO WEHR FORD IN MOUNTAIN GROVE, MO WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THERE HAD BEEN A RASH OF DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODIES AND AT LEAST 2000 WERE ON BACK ORDER ACROSS THE COUNTRY. HE POINTED OUT ANOTHER VEHICLE ON HIS LOT WHICH HAD BEEN THERE FOR TWO WEEKS WAITING FOR ONE. HE SAID HE COULD GET A USED ONE FROM A WRECKING YARD. SINCE WE LIVE IN AZ AND HAD TO GET HOME WE SAID OK. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE AND FORD SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THESE.

MY 2013 F150 ECO BOOST STARTED CUTTING OUT WHILE DRIVING HOME, THE WRENCH ILLUMINATED THEN THE CHECK ENGINE AS THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. IF I WOULD OF BEEN ON THE FREEWAY OR PULLING SOMETHING I WOULD'VE BEEN DEAD. AFTER COASTING OFF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO RESTART, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON AND WAS CUTTING OUT. I ONLY HAD TO GO 2 MILES TO GET HOME. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE MILEAGE IT WASN'T COVERED, BUT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH FORD HAD RECALLED THIS ON A FEW VEHICLES, BUT NOT THIS ONE YET. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE IT JUST SHUT THE ENGINE OFF ON YOU. IF YOU'RE IN TRAFFIC OR PULLING THERE WOULD BE A SEVERE PROBLEM. I'M STILL CONCERNED WHEN I PULL. I HOPE THAT FORD RECALLS THIS!!!

I WANTED TO MAKE YOUR OFFICE AWARE AND SEEK ANY ASSISTANCE YOU MAY BE ABLE TO OFFER REGARDING A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE FORD ECOBOOST ENGINE FOUND IN MANY TRUCKS IN OUR STATE. RECENTLY I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE ROAD AND ENDED UP BEHIND A SLOW MOVING TRACTOR TRAILER. WHEN GETTING TO A PROPER PASSING ZONE, I ACCELERATED TO PASS THE VEHICLE. JUST ABOUT THE TIME I WAS ALONGSIDE IT, MY TRUCK (A 2013 F150 ECOBOOS WITH ABOUT 78K MILES) STARTED SHUDDERING, A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT DRASTICALLY REDUCED POWER ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS APPROACHING FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION (THIS TOOK SEVERAL SECONDS - THE PASSING ZONE WAS ENTIRELY CLEAR WHEN I STARTED THE MANEUVER). I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR REPAIRS ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IT WAS FROM A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AFFECTING CONDENSATION IN THE COOLING UNIT OF THE TURBOS. FORD HAD ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB-14-0017) REGARDING THE ISSUE BUT NO RECALLS MADE NOR ANY CUSTOMER NOTIFICATIONS SENT OUT. I HAVE NOTIFIED FORD AND REQUESTED 1) THEY REIMBURSE THE COST OF REPAIRS; 2) ISSUE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL FOR THIS MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT; AND 3) IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY OWNERS OF THEIR PRODUCT AS TO THE POSSIBLE SAFETY HAZARD THAT COULD OCCUR WHEN PUTTING THE ENGINE UNDER A HEAVY RPM LOAD. ADDITIONALLY, I AM ASKING IF YOUR OFFICE CAN FOLLOW UP WITH THIS REQUEST TO ENSURE THAT SOMEONE DOESN'T ENCOUNTER THE SAME BAD SITUATION OR WORSE. THIS WAS A POTENTIAL FATALITY SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VEHICLE RUNS GREAT MOST OF THE TIME, BUT WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS IN THE RAIN, SNOW, HUMID OR MISTING CONDITIONS, THE TRUCK WILL SOMETIMES LOOSE POWER AND START SHAKING/STUTTERING WHEN ACCELERATING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, OR WHEN CLIMBING A HILL. MOST OF TIME, IT IS A VERY SLIGHT SHUDDER BUT WHEN UNDER HEAVY THROTTLE, THE ENGINE WILL START CUTTING OUT, LOOSE POWER AND SPEED, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL START FLASHING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I WILL HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SLOWER LANE OF TRAFFIC, OR ONTO THE SHOULDER. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL EITHER GO OUT, OR COME ON SOLID. IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING WHEN THIS HAPPENS BUT IT HAS HAPPENED ENOUGH TIMES THAT I ALMOST EXPECT IT WHEN THE CONDITIONS ARE RIGHT FOR IT TO OCCUR. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO VARIOUS FORD DEALERSHIPS AS I AM USUALLY OUT OF TOWN ON VACATION WHEN IT HAPPENS. THEY HAVE APPLIED ALL THE TSB'S RECOMMENDED BY FORD MOTOR, BUT OBVIOSITY THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE ISSUE ON DEMAND AND APPARENTLY CAN'T CORRECT IT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND I WOULD SUPPORT A TOTAL RECALL OF ALL ECOBOOST VEHICLES UNTIL CORRECTED.

CONTINUED LACK OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING. SEVERAL TIMES WHILE IN A TURNING LANE, I CAN HIT THE ACCELERATOR AND THE ENGINE GOES TO A COMPLETE SHUT DOWN OF POWER. I HAVE READ THE RELATED ENGINE ISSUES HERE, BUT AS A MECHANICAL ENGINEER, I CAN TELL YOU THIS IS A TURBO ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME SEVERAL ACCIDENTS DUE TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THE LACK OF POWER FROM ENGINE THAT CAUSES LACK OF MOVEMENT FROM THE TRUCK. THE LACK OF POWER LAST FOR 1 TO 5 SECONDS AND IT IS THE SAME IN WET OR DRY WEATHER. I WANT THIS RESOLVED.

THIS HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT #BL3Z-9E926-B, BUT I AM TOLD BY A FORD DEALER THAT THERE ARE ABOUT 3300 OTHERS WAITING FOR THIS PART AND THAT THEY ARE SO BACKLOGGED THAT NO DELIVERY DATE IS YET IN THEIR SYSTEM. RAPID, UNEXPECTED, AND REPEATED LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING IS VERY DANGEROUS.

ON 03/17/2016 I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE 287 IN NEW JERSEY IN THE FAST LANE AT SPEEDS AROUND 65 MPH MY TRUCK HAD A LOSS OF POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON AND THE TRUCK STARTED SHUTTERING REALLY BAD, WITH THE ACCELERATOR PUSHED DOWN THE TRUCK WAS SLOWING DOWN AND THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE HITTING THEIR BRAKES. AFTER ABOUT 2 MINUTES THE TRUCK WENT BACK TO NORMAL. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND REMOVED THE AIR DEFLECTOR AND REPROGRAMMED THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. 7 DAYS LATER I HAD ANOTHER CLOSE CALL ON ROUTE 287 IN NEW JERSEY WHEN MY TRUCK STARTED MISFIRING AND SHUTTERING. AGAIN NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVER CAME ON. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THERE WERE NO DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES OR ALARMS. THE MECHANIC TOOK THE TRUCK FOR A TEST DRIVE USING AN INTEGRATED DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM AND FOUND A POWER BALANCE AND CYLINDER #4 MISFIRE. THEY REPLACED #4 COIL AND GAVE THE TRUCK BACK TO ME. 24 HOURS LATER AND ANOTHER CLOSE CALL THE TRUCK IS BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS ANOTHER CYLINDER #4 MISFIRE. THE DEALERSHIP IS BEING VERY HELPFUL AND TRYING EVERYTHING THEY CAN BUT THIS IS AN ENORMOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AND IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT CORRECTED IT CAN TURN INTO A FATAL ENDING.

THE ENGINE SPLASH SHIELD HAS COME LOOSE THREE TIMES IN ABOUT A YEAR. THIS IS VERY LARGE COMPONENT UNDER THE ENGINE. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THERE ARE A LOT OF F-150'S WITH THIS ISSUE, THAT SNOW WILL PULL THE SHIELD DOWN. THEY ALSO ASKED WHO CHANGED THE OIL - I BELIEVE THE SHIELD NEEDS TO BE REMOVED TO CHANGE THE OIL. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THE PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED BY FORD OR THE WARRANTY. IF THE SHIELD COMES LOOSE IT CREATES A CLEAR HAZARD FOR CARS BEHIND THE TRUCK. THE SHIELD HAS COME LOOSE AFTER AN OIL CHANGE (BY THE DEALERSHIP), IN THE SNOW, AND ONE OTHER TIME.

BASICALLY THE TRUCK WILL NOT START. IT HAS PLENTY OF POWER AND DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ELECTRICAL. WHEN STARTING THE TRUCK I HEAR THE STARTER RUNNING FOR ~5 SECONDS BUT THE ENGINE NEVER FIRES OFF. ON MY 4TH OR 5TH REPAIR AFTER HAVING IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. EACH TIME THEY TRY REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP ONLY FOR IT TO WORK BRIEFLY. TWICE IT STARTED FOR THEM AT THE DEALERSHIP AFTER IT HAD BEEN TOWED. EITHER THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OR THE WORK THEY DO FUEL PUMP TEMPORARILY FIXES THE REAL ISSUE. THIS CYCLE HAS REPEATED FOR 4-5 TIMES FOR A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 30K MILES. FIRST INSTANCE WAS IN FEBRUARY 2013. LAST 3 INSTANCES HAVE BEEN IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING BUT IF ITS A FUEL PUMP ISSUE AS THEY KEEP CLAIMING THEN THE ISSUE COULD ARISE AT ANY TIME. AT THIS POINT I DON'T TRUST NOR FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

I TOOK MY ECOBOOST POWERED TRUCK TO A FORD DEALER AND THEY PERFORMED TSB 14-0017. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE ENGINE LOOSING POWER. THIS IS WHY THE NHTSA CLOSED THE INVESTIGATION OF THE F150 ECOBOOST. THIS HAS NOT WORKED. YESTERDAY 11-7-2015 I WAS ON A 2 HOUR HIGHWAY TRIP IN RAINY CONDITIONS. WHILE DRIVING THE MOTOR AGAIN LOST POWER AND COULD NOT EVEN MAINTAIN HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS WAS DANGEROUS TO MY FAMILY AND EVERYONE AROUND US.

THE LAST TIME WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEIR EXPLANATION WAS: "CANNOT DUPLICATE CUSTOMER'S COMPLAINT" THIS PLATFORM IS FAULTY AND SOMEHOW FORD HAS BEEN ABLE TO KEEP IT OFF THE RADAR. APPARENTLY FORD DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT AND CONTINUES TO DENY THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM.

REPRODUCEABLE LOSS OF POWER AFTER EXTENDED HIGHWAY DRIVING IN HUMID WEATHER. LOSS OF POWER HAPPENS WHEN THE ECOBOOST INTERCOOLER (CAC) BUILDS UP CONDENSATION AND THEN THROTTLE IS APPLIED TO PASS OR MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. WHEN TROTTLE IS APPLIED THE CONDESATION WATER IS PUSHED BY THE TURBOS PSI INTO THE MOTOR. THIS CAUSES A MISSFIRE AND THE ENGINE TO LOOSE POWER UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS HAS HAPPEBED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE ON A COUNTRY ROAD WITH ONCOMMING TRAFFIC NEARLY CAUSING A HEAD ON COLLISION.

THIS OCCURRED ON A RAINY HOT DAY SOUTHBOUND TOWARDS CAPE COD. I WAS DRIVING MY SECOND 2013 FORD F150, BOTH OF WHICH HAVE THE ECOBOOST ENGINE. I ATTEMPTED TO PASS ON A TWO LANE ROAD, AND UPON ACCELERATION THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SHUTTER, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, ENGINE LOST MOST OF ITS POWER, AND VEHICLE SLOWED DRAMATICALLY. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20 TO 30 SECONDS THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RETURN TO A NORMAL OPERATING MODE. HAD THERE BEEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC, I WOULD NOT BE WRITING THIS. AS I SAID, THIS IS MY SECOND ECOBOOST, AND I THOUGHT THAT FORD WOULD HAVE FIXED WHAT IS CLEARLY A POTENTIALLY FATAL FLAW WITH THIS ENGINE. I HAD THE SAME ISSUE OCCUR TWICE BEFORE IN MY PRIOR ECOBOOST F150. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO A DEALER TODAY FOR ANOTHER MINOR ISSUE AND ASKED THAT THE ECOBOOST ISSUE BE ADDRESSED, BUT THAT REQUEST WAS REJECTED BY THE DEALER, WHOM SIGHTED FORD POLICY. CLEARLY THERE IS A PATTERN OF FAILURE ON THESE ENGINES, AND JUST AS CLEAR IT APPEARS THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE AND ECONOMICAL FIX, BASED ON MY PERSONAL RESEARCH OF AVAILABLE INFORMATION ON LINE. IT IS UNEXPLAINABLE WHY FORD WOULD NOT GET IN FRONT OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE THERE IS A FATAL ACCIDENT. *TR

PURCHASED NEW 2013 FORD ECO PICKUP. IT WAS ADVERTISED AND SOLD TO BE A HIGH EFFICIENT FUEL ECONOMICAL VEHICLE. FIRST TIME TEMPERATURES DROPPED BELOW 30 DEGREES F, MY FUEL MILEAGE DRASTICALLY DROPPED. AFTER DISCUSSION WITH DEALERSHIP, THEY SEEMED TO BE AWARE OF THE AFFECT COLD AIR HAD ON ITS FUEL MILEAGE. PRIOR TO COLD WEATHER I WAS EXPERIENCING 18 TO 24 MPG. AS SOON AS COLD WEATHER ARRIVED I WAS EXPERIENCING 12 TO 14 MPG. THIS TYPE OF MILEAGE IS CONSISTENT ALL THROUGH THE WINTER UNTIL LATE SPRING. SEEMS THE 24 MPG IS UNACHIEVABLE ANYMORE. DEALERSHIP BRIEFLY EXPLAINED THE BOOSTERS WORK BEST IN WARM WEATHER. THIS INFORMATION WAS NOT OFFERED DURING THE PURCHASE PROCESS. I EVEN SHOWED THEM A MAGAZINE ARTICLE WRITTEN ON HOW FORDS ECO BOOST HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING LOWER THAN ADVERTISED MPG. THE SALESMAN ACKNOWLEDGED THE ARTICLE AND SAID THEY HAD CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD DURING A MAINTENANCE PROCESS, THAT IT HAD TO HAVE 12,000 MILES BEFORE THEY COULD TEST IT FOR LACK OF MPG. I HAD IT INSPECTED AT 11,800 MILES AND THEY CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.

ONE AND A HALF HOURS LATER, IT DID THE SAME THING AT 60MPH THIS TIME. THIS TRUCK IS KNOWN FOR THIS ISSUE. THE INTERCOOLER SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM. MY TRUCK NOW HAS 9500 MILES ON IT. WHAT'S UPSETTING IS THAT THIS IS THE 2ND TIME MY TRUCK HAS DONE THIS. THE FIRST TIME OCCURRED ON JULY 15, 2013 WITH 5,100 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP KEPT MY TRUCK FOR 4 DAYS AND REPLACED THE INTERCOOLER, ASSURING ME THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED (WHICH IT WASN'T, AS MY TRUCK REPEATED THE ISSUE YESTERDAY, EVEN WITH THE REPLACEMENT PART). THERE ARE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MODEL TRUCK HAVING THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, AS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME, I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT HEAD-ON BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC (BECAUSE THE VEHICLE TOTALLY LOSES ALL POWER, NO ACCELERATION). *JS

I TRIED FRANTICALLY TO PUSH THE GAS, AS THERE WERE TWO SEMI TRUCKS BEHIND ME TRYING TO PASS AT THE SAME TIME AS ME. THE TRUCKS BOTH ENDED UP HAVING TO PASS ME UNSAFELY ON THE SHOULDER TO THE LEFT OF ME, INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO GLIDE OVER BACK TO THE LANE I WAS IN, AND EVENTUALLY RODE THE SHOULDER. I CONTINUALLY TRIED TO GET POWER TO THE VEHICLE. MY ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING. EVENTUALLY AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, MY TRUCK DID "GRAB" AND SHOOT FORWARD. THE ENGINE LIGHT THEN WENT OFF, AND FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY DRIVE, THE TRUCK WAS FINE. AGAIN, TWO DAYS LATER, THE TRUCK DID THE SAME THING, BUT AT SLOWER SPEEDS IN TOWN. AS I READ INTO THE ISSUE, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A "COMMON" PROBLEM???? MY SITUATION TOO WAS DURING RAINY/WET WEATHER, LONG DISTANCE HIGHWAYS THE FIRST TIME, AND WET WEATHER, IN TOWN, THE SECOND TIME. THIS IS A SEVERELY DANGEROUS ISSUE. I TOO BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS ISSUE WAS BEING INVESTIGATED AND THAT FORD HAD SOLUTION TO TRY. WHAT BOGGLES MY MIND IS THAT THERE ARE "SOLUTION" TO TRY, WHICH MEANS THIS PROBLEM WAS KNOWN, YET WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT MAKE ONE SINGLE MENTION, EVEN WHEN I ASKED IF THEY HAD HEARD OF ANY ISSUES WITH THE ECOBOOST SYSTEM! THE SHOP JUST UPDATED THE COMPUTER, AN A DAY LATER, IT HAPPEN AGAIN! :) I'M NO LONGER DRIVING MY TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY. NOT SURE WHO TO CONTACT TO RETURN MY TRUCK. I DON'T EVEN WANT IT ANYMORE! *TR

THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!! I EXPERIENCED THIS TWICE LAST WEEKEND ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I WAS DRIVING (25MPH) AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRUCK BEGAN SHUDDERING AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE. I COULDN'T GO MORE THAN 5 MPH AND ALMOST CAUSED AND ACCIDENT. THE DEALER WAS CLOSED, SO I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND AFTER RECONNECTING IT THE TRUCK RAN FINE, UNTIL LATER THAT NIGHT WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED BUT AT 70MPH. ONCE AGAIN THE ONLY THING TO DO WAS DISCONNECT THE BATTERY (TO RESET EVERYTHING). THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALER FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING JUST TO BE TOLD THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A SECONDARY ROAD IN RAINY CONDITIONS AT APPROX 35MPH AS I PRESSED THE GAS TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND WOULD BARELY ACCELERATE. ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING WITH WHAT I ASSUME IS THE INFAMOUS ECOBOOST MISFIRE. THE TRUCK IS A 2013 WITH ONLY 13000 MILES. ONCE I STOPPED BRIEFLY THE MISFIRE WENT AWAY AND NORMAL OPERATION RESUMED. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND BUT AS OTHERS HAVE STATED THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE IN DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY BEHIND A TRUCK TOWING A BIG CAMPER. WHEN I GOT A CHANCE TO TRY AND PASS HIM I GOT OVER TO GO AROUND HIM AND WENT TO ACCELERATE AND MY TRUCK LOST ALL POWER (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING) AND I HAD TO APPLY BRAKE HARD TO SLOW BACK DOWN TO GET BACK BEHIND THE TRUCK. LUCKILY THERE WAS NOT ANYONE BEHIND ME SO I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK OVER. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND SET AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY WENT OUT AND TRUCK STARTED RUNNING FINE.

THE FIRST TIME THE INCIDENT HAPPEN I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH ON A BRIGHT SUNNY DAY ABOUT 70 DEGREES OUT. I TRIED TO GO AROUND A CAR AND WHEN PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE KIND OF STALLED AND SHOOK, DID NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. I LET OFF THE PEDAL AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT ACCELERATED FINE. THERE WASN'T MUCH DANGER INVOLVED IN THIS MISHAP AS THE OTHER DRIVER AND I WERE THE ONLY 2 VEHICLES ON THE ROAD FOR A FARE AMOUNT OF DISTANCE. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED IS WHAT REALLY WORRIED ME. I WAS LEAVING A GAS STATION PREPARING TO CROSS A 4 LANE HIGHWAY WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 55 MPH. THIS TIME IT WAS MORNING ABOUT 65 DEGREES AND SUNNY, I ROLLED UP TO THE INTERSECTION AND WHEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO CROSS WAS PRESENTED I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK PRETTY BAD AND THE ENGINE ABOUT DIED. I HIT THE BRAKE AND THE ENGINE WORKED ITSELF OUT OF THE SHAKE. THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED THIS ISSUE IS LIFE THREATENING. IF I WOULD HAVE PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE BROUGHT ME TO THE CENTER OF THE HIGHWAY AND STALLED THERE IS A VERY GOOD CHANCE I COULD HAVE BEEN T-BONED! AND TO TOP IT OFF ANOTHER ISSUE I HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH MY 2013 FORD F-150 PLATINUM IS THE BLUETOOTH IS RARELY CAPABLE OF SYNCING TO MY IPHONE, SO I WERE TO BE T-BONED THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN INCAPABLE OF UTILIZING ITS 911 ASSIST FEATURE AND THE INJURED INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE TO RELY ON A WITNESS DIALING 911. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2013 FORD F-150 ECOBOOST IN DECEMBER 2012. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED IN APPROXIMATELY MARCH 2013. IT WAS RAINING. I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT WHERE I HAD MADE A COMPLETE STOP. I COULD NOT GAIN SPEED VERY WELL. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING. THE ENGINE WAS SPUTTERING/POPPING AND THE WHOLE TRUCK WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE SAME HAS OCCURRED EVER SINCE ON MORE THAN A DOZEN OCCASIONS AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. HOWEVER, EACH TIME WAS WHILE IT WAS RAINING. NEVER HAS HAD A PROBLEM IN FAIR WEATHER. I EXPERIENCE A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER, MANY TIMES WHEN ON THE INTERSTATE OR WHILE TRYING TO OVERCOME A VEHICLE. THE FRONT-END LURCHES, I LOSE SPEED DRAMATICALLY, THE ENGINE SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN I ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE SPUTTERS AND SOUNDS LIKE IT DOESN'T KNOW WHETHER TO CHOKE OUT OR BLOW UP. THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE EACH TIME. ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE A MISFIRE. HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES DURING ONE TRIP OFTEN, BUT ALWAYS WHEN IT RAINS. CONTINUOUS OCCURRENCES AND BEGINNING TO BECOME MORE FREQUENT. HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO 2 DEALERSHIPS, NEITHER OF WHICH CAN DETECT ANY DTCS OR ANY OTHER PROBLEM. OFFER NO ADVICE OTHER THAN TO KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON PERMANENTLY. THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSES THE PROBLEM. I AM REALLY AFRAID THAT THE PROBLEM MAY RESULT IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT. HAVE NOT HAD ONE YET, BUT HAVE A HAD A COUPLE OF INCIDENTS WHERE I HAD TO PULL OVER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. PROBLEM IS SO PERSISTENT THAT I AM CONSIDERING TRADING VEHICLES, ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE BEEN OFFERED NO REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD MOTOR CO. ON 07/30/2013. *TR

THIS CAN BE REPEATED ON ANY TRIP OF SIGNIFICANT DURATION ON A RAINY DAY. THE TSB DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, AND I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AS WELL AS MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. I DO NOT LET ME WIFE DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE SHE WOULD NOT BE AS WELL EQUIPPED TO DEAL WITH AN EVENT LIKE THIS. I FEEL CHEATED BY FORD, AND I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THEIR ATTEMPTS OF FIXING THIS. FURTHERMORE, I KNOW EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS THE ENGINE IS TAKING IN LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER THROUGH THE INTAKE, AND THIS IS CATASTROPHIC FOR ENGINE LIFE AND LONGEVITY. PLEASE PURSUE RECALL EFFORTS NOW ON THIS HORRIBLE ENGINE. *TR

VEHICLE LOST POWER WHEN TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. NOTE I WAS IN A 75 MPH AREA TRYING TO PASS A VEHICLE THAT HAD TRASH FLYING OFF TRUCK. IN ANY CASE WHEN I PUNCHED THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE DID A NOSE DIVE AS IT LOST POWER. IT TOOK ABOUT 2 SECONDS FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESTORE TO NORMAL OPERATION. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS A 2013 FORD F-150 ECOBOOST. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY. WHILE THIS WAS OCCURRING THE VEHICLE HAD LITTLE POWER. I WAS IN THE LEFT HAND LANE, AND WAS PINNED BETWEEN A TRACTOR TRAILER ON MY RIGHT AND A CAR BEHIND ME. THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED FOR APPROX. 8 TO 10 SECONDS THEN STOPPED. I WAS THEN ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND PASS THE TRUCK. WEATHER CONDITIONS: RAINING TEMP: BETWEEN 75 AND 80 DEGREES TIME: 7:00 A.M. *TR

ON 5/22/13, WHILE TRAVELING ON I-81 VEHICLE HWY MILEAGE DROPPED FROM 20.3 TO APPROX 16 MPG. ON 5/23 WHILE DRIVING TO FORD DEALERSHIP IN HOULTON, MAINE I WAS PASSING A VEHICLE AT 30MPH INA 45 ZONE AND THE ENGINE ALMOST SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO PULL BACK BECAUSE OF APPROACHING TRAFFIC. AT THE FORD DEALER, THEIR COMPUTER CHECK SHOWED THE ENGINE DROPPED THE #6 CYLINDER (THAT'S WHAT THEY TOLD ME). THEY SAID IT WAS A ECOBOOST PROBLEM AND WOULD HAVE TO CALL THE FACTORY ENGINEERS. TWO WEEKS LATER, I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM FORD OR THE FORD DEALER. I ORDERED & THEY BUILT THE TRUCK IN APRIL 2013. IT WAS DELIVERED 4/26 AT CHEROKEE FORD, WOODSTOCK, GA. I BOUGHT THE ECOBOOST ENGINE BECAUSE OF THE EPA HWY MILEAGE RATING OF 21 MPG AND PAID $1050.00 EXTRA TO GET IT. I HAVE ALWAYS GO BETTER THAN THE RATED MPG ON MY VEHICLES, SO THIS IS NOT DRIVING HABITS. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUTTER AND THE ENGINE POWER DIED. IT SEEMED TO GO INTO LIMP MODE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND LEFT ME HANGING IN THE TRAVEL LANE WITH FASTER TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH. VEHICLE IS ONE WEEK OLD AND HAS APPROXIMATELY 600 MILES ON IT. THE ENGINE IS THE FORD ECOBOOST 3.5L V6. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED TO GET IT TO DRIVE NORMAL AGAIN. *TR

THE WEATHER AT THE TIME WAS 70 DEGREES WITH MODERATE RAIN. I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND SHUT OFF THE MOTOR. THE ENGINE RESTARTED OK. I DID NOT ATTEMPT ANY MORE HARD ACCELERATIONS. I HAD NO MORE STALL PROBLEMS. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY FOUND A MISFIRE CODE, BUT HAD NO EXPLANATION OR FIX TO PREVENT THE PROBLEM FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS IS AN ECOBOOST VEHICLE. *TR

2013 FORD F-150 XLT V6 ECOBOOST DISPLAYING SHUTTERING AND VIOLENT SHAKING UPON 1ST START UP OF THE DAY AND SOMETIMES 2ND START UP OF THE DAY IF IT'S BEEN A WHILE BETWEEN STARTS IN ST LOUIS, MO. FEELS LIKE AN OLD VEHICLE START UP NOT ANYTHING LIKE A BRAND NEW $42K TRUCK SHOULD SOUND LIKE. MY WIFE ALSO STATES IT SHUTTERS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY SOMETIMES. I TOOK TO DEALER (SUNSET FORD) AND LET THEM KEEP IT OVERNIGHT SO THEY WOULD START AND CHECK IN THE MORNING. OF COURSE THEY HAD THE NERVE TO SAY IT DID NOT DO ANYTHING WHEN THEY STARTED IT. WELL AFTER READING VARIOUS POSTS ABOUT HOW THEY SEEM TO NOT WANT TO FIX THE PRODUCT THEY SELL I WAS UPSET. SO WHEN I WENT UP THERE I HAD THE SERVICE MANAGER GO WITH ME OUTSIDE TO START IT LATER THAT DAY AFTER THEY ALREADY STARTED IT AND IT DID THE SAME THING I TOOK IT IN THERE FOR. IT'S LIKE THEY DIDN'T EVEN DO THEIR JOB PROPERLY. HE HEMMED AND HAWED AND STATED TO BRING IT BACK UP FOR ANOTHER SERVICE APT LATER IN THE WEEK. I HAVE YET TO DO SO B/C MY TIME IS TOO VALUABLE FOR THEM TO GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND BUT IT STILL ALWAYS SHUTTERS AND SHAKES SOMETIMES VIOLENTLY UPON START UP. DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO OTHER THAN TRADE IT BACK IN FOR ANOTHER TRUCK BRAND FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO DEAL WITH. IT'S A SHAME B/C I REALLY LIKE FORDS MY GRANDFATHER RETIRED FROM THERE. I GUESS LIKE EVERY OTHER COMPANY THEY JUST KEEP GETTING LEANER AND MEANER. GOOD FOR THEIR POCKET BOOKS I GUESS BUT NOT FOR THE EVERYDAY MAN OR WOMAN. *TR

WHILE ON I95 IN VIRGINIA, AFTER TRAVELING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON IN AN INTERMITTENT RAIN, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE AND BUCK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. ANY ATTEMPT TO DO SO CAUSED THE TRUCK TO JERK AND SHAKE. AS I MOVED TO THE RIGHT LANE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER, THE LIGHT STOPPED FLASHING AND THE TRUCK BEHAVED NORMALLY. I COULD NOT REPLICATE THE INCIDENT SINCE I DID NOT DRIVE AT A CONSTANT SPEED AGAIN FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME REMAINING IN THE TRIP. THIS OCCURRED IN A 2013 FORD F150 XLT SUPERCREW WITH A 3.5L ECO BOOST ENGINE. *TR

I HAVE A NEW FORD F-150 WITH ONLY 1,500 MILES ON IT. I WAS LEAVING A RESTAURANT GETTING ON THE ROAD WITH CARS RUSHING BEHIND ME GOING ABOUT 45MPH WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN THE TRUCKS ENGINE STARTED SHAKING REALLY BAD. THE ENGINE LIGHT COME, TRUCK STARTED BEEPING AND THE TOOL WRENCH STARTED TO FLICKER ON THE DASH BOARD SAYING "SERVICE". THE TRUCK STOPPED ACCELERATING ALL OF THE SUDDEN AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PUSHED THE PETAL TO ACCELERATE, TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. LOST ALL POWER TO ACCELERATE. CARS FROM BEHIND HAD TO QUICKLY MANEUVER OUT OF MY LANE TO AVOID HITTING ME. COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN GOING FASTER. CALLED FORD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO TAKE TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT??S GOING ON. I HAVE READ OTHER SIMILAR PROBLEMS TO MINE STATING THE WEATHER AND/OR CONDITION OF ROAD WAS WET BUT AS FOR MY ISSUE THE WEATHER OUTSIDE WAS COOL AND SUNNY NO RAIN OR WET ROAD AT THE TIME THE ISSUE HAPPENED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET APPROXIMATELY AT 70MPH, I STEPPED ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE PAST A VEHICLE. THE TRUCK DID NOT RESPOND BUT DECELERATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND WITH ONLY SLIGHT PRESSURE TO THE GAS TO MAINTAIN SPEED. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 5-10 SECONDS THE VEHICLE REGAINED POWER. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME, SAME CONDITIONS SAME RESULTS. THE FORD DEALER SAYS ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH PARTS BACK ORDERED. THIS SEEMS UNACCEPTABLE IF ITS A KNOW PROBLEM. SOMEONE CAN GET IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IF THEY PULLED OUT IN FAST MOVING TRAFFIC EXPECTING ACCELERATION TO BE THERE. *TR

I PRESSED DOWN HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN, TRUCK WAS COASTING, AND THE ORANGE TRACTION SLIP LIGHT CAME ON. THEN THE ENGINE CAME BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO FINISH PASSING. THIS WAS IN CARLSBAD, NM. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER THEY SAID THERE NOTHING SHOWED ON THEIR DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER, BUT THEY DID TRY TO CHARGE ME $150 LABOR. I REFUSED TO PAY, BECAUSE THIS IS A NEW TRUCK AND THE INCIDENT HAPPENED TWICE DRIVING INTO CARLSBAD. I HAVE TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT ONCE SINCE, BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT SHUTDOWN. *TR

I JUST READ A STORY AND THE ONE ON FOX NEWS. THIS EXACT ECOBOOST PROBLEM HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO IN MY 2013 F-150 KING RANCH (28K MILES). I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON I81 IN PA AND SUDDENLY MY TRUCK WENT LIKE A BUCKING BRONCO, LOSING POWER AS I WENT ALONG UNTIL I WAS DOWN TO ABOUT 30MPH ON A HIGHWAY. THIS LASTED FOR ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES AND THEN MIRACULOUSLY CLEARED UP. I FEAR THE DAMAGE IT HAS DONE TO THE ENGINE AND COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONE OTHER TIME AS WELL. ALL I COULD ASSUME AT THE TIME WAS A BAD TANK OF GAS OR SOME SORT OF MISFIRE/CYLINDER PROBLEM. WHO DO I REPORT THIS TO? I AM SURE FORD WILL JUST SAY OH WELL, IT WORKS NOW.. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

NOT GETTING STICKER MPG; TOOK VEHICLE BACK AND FORD MILHAM DEALERSHIP IN EASTON PA OFF RT 33 SAID " THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT" POWER STEERING RACK ALSO MALFUNCTIONED AT 7,000 MILES. DEALERSHIP MANAGER AGREED THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. I DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF ON A WEDNESDAY. THURSDAY NIGHT THEY CALLED AND STATED EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT AND "FORD SAYS IT'S WITHIN RANGE". I WAS ALSO TOLD I WILL RECEIVE A SURVEY ONLINE - I NEVER RECEIVED THE EMAIL TO COMMUNICATE MY DISSATISFACTION WITH THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE NOW HAS 10,000 MILES AND NOW I GET 16 MPG ON HIGHWAY (NO CITY DRIVING). *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT EXACTLY 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 40 DEGREES IN MY BRAND NEW 2013 F-150 ECOBOOST. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS A LINE OF SLOWER SEMI-TRUCKS, I PUT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THE ENGINE REV'D AND THE STARTED VIOLENTLY SHUTTERING TO THE POINT I THOUGHT THE ENGINE MOUNTS WERE SURELY BREAKING. THE VEHICLE LOST MOST OF ITS POWER AND WITH ANOTHER TRUCKER BEHIND ME IN THE PASSING LANE, IT IMMEDIATELY BECAME AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL AND FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO LET THE LOWER TRAFFIC PASS ME SO I COULD FALL INTO THE SLOW LANE -- IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO PUT IT MILDLY. THE TRUCK FIXED ITSELF AFTER ABOUT 5 MILES OF SLOWER DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING AND THEY KEPT IT FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS. I TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE EVENT AND COULDN'T. THE SCENE REPEATED ITSELF THREE TIMES UNDER EXACTLY THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES WITH TWO OR THREE WEEKS SEPARATING THE OCCURRENCES. THE LAST TIME THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID FORD CORPORATE ENGINEERING DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND TO TRY RE-INSTALLING THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE. THIS APPEARS TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT MY GAS MILEAGE HAS GONE DOWN TO AN AVERAGE 18.5 MPG AND PREVIOUSLY I WAS GETTING UP TO 25 MPG AVERAGE. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING IN RAIN ON THE HIGHWAY - OUTSIDE TEMP 40 DEG F / DEWPOINT 40 (THIS IS RELEVANT - THIS ISSUE OCCURS WHENEVER TEMP & DEW POINT ARE WITHIN 10 OF EACH OTHER FOR MANY OTHERS) AT 65MPH - I ATTEMPTED TO PASS A SLOWER MOVING VEHICLE. AFTER MY LANE CHANGE, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE & THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED & REVVED HIGH FOR A SECOND AND THEN ILOST 90% OF MY ENGINES POWER, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUDDER & SHAKE AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (CEL) BEGAN TO BLINK ON MY DASH. I WAS NEARLY HIT BE 2 FAST MOVING SEMI TRUCKS AS I TRIED TO CROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE BERM WITH 0 ABILITY TO ACCELERATE ANY FURTHER. STOPPING & STARTING THE ENGINE MADE THE ISSUE GO AWAY. A SIMILAR EVEN OCCURRED THIS MORNING AS WELL BUT CLEARED ITSELF AFTER I LET OFF OF THE GAS. I HAVE HEARD NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE ON DIFFERENT F-150 FORUMS. THE ISSUE IS APPARENTLY TOO MUCH CONDENSATION IN THE ECOBOOST ENGINES TWIN TURBO INTERCOOLER (HENCE THE TEMP/DEW POINT CORRELATION). FORD HAS BEEN ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE THIS FOR 3 YEARS NOW - AND JUST RELEASED A NEW TSB 12-10-19 WHICH I HOPE WILL RESOLVE IT. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 14 DAYS - AND IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SOLD TO ME WITH THIS KNOWN DANGEROUS FAILURE POSSIBILITY BEING PRESENT. THE TSB IS BEING APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE TOMORROW & I HOPE IT WORKS. NUMEROUS OTHERS HAVE HAD DIFFERENT ATTEMPTS AT REPAIR & NONE HAVE MADE THE ISSUE PERMANENTLY GO AWAY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
