NHTSA Complaint #10513964 — 2011 FORD F-150

WHEN ACCELERATING MY F150 CUTS OUT AND HESITATES ALONG WITH A ROUGH IDLE. I HAVE TAKEN TO LOCAL FORD DEALER AND IT SHOWS TO BE A MISFIRING ISSUE IN 4 OF 6 CYLINDERS. FORD RECOMMENDED REPLACING A COUPLE OF PARTS, BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE PRINTOUT GIVEN TO ME SAID IT MAY OR MAY NOT FIX THE ISSUE AND WAS UNDER FURTHER INVESTIGATION WITH FORD ENGINEERS. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN MAINTAINED ON TIME WITH SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES, ETC...THE TRUCK NOW HAS 75K MILES AND HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UP TO 125K MILES. EACH TIME THE TRUCK HAS BEGUN TO MISFIRE AND STALL OUT THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND HAS HEAVY VIBRATION UNTIL STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE TRUCK. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS BECAUSE THEY WERE ALL BURNED OUT WHICH SEEMED TO HELP, BUT CONTINUES TO IDLE ROUGH. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THEY BURN OUT AGAIN. I SPOKE WITH SOMEONE FROM FORD AND THEY OFFERED ME NO HELP OTHER THAN TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH MY DEALERSHIP WHICH WHO KNOWS WHEN FORD WILL RELEASE A FIX. I NOW PAY FOR A TRUCK THAT I BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR AND DOES NOT RUN CORRECTLY. EVERYONE THAT RIDES WITH ME HAS SAID, "MAN WHY DOES YOUR TRUCK IDLE LIKE THIS?" MY TRUCK STICKERED FOR $41,460. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE A NICE LOOKING TRUCK THAT DOESN'T PERFORM UP TO PAR. *TR
