Consumer Description

VEHICLE STALLS WHENEVER COMING TO A STOP AFTER TOWING FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR. REQUIRES THE VEHICLE TO BE PLACED IN PARK TO RESTART, BUT WILL CONTINUE TO STALL OUT IMMEDIATELY. DANGEROUS AT INTERSECTIONS AND STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC. ALSO STALLS (WHEN TOWING) WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RESTART AFTER REFUELLING. ONLY WAY TO GET THE VEHICLE TO START WITHOUT STALLING IT TO KEEP THE GAS PEDAL PRESSED TO KEEP THE RPM ABOVE 1500; OR WAIT 10-15 MINS FOR ENGINE TO COOL. NO CHECK ENGINE/COMPUTER SYSTEM ERROR GIVEN AT ALL. ONLY STALLS WHEN VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWING OVER A LONG DISTANCE. OCCURRED 20+ TIMES A DAY OVER THE COURSE OF TRAVELING ACROSS THE US AND CANADA IN JULY/AUGUST 2018. TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO FORD SERVICE CENTER IN LONGMONT, CO, BUT WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE WITH NO CODE. I AM SEEING MORE AND MORE REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING WITH 2018 FORD F-150 2.7L ECOBOOST MODELS. HTTPS://WWW.FORD-TRUCKS.COM/FORUMS/1515205-2-7-ECOBOOST-STALLS-DIES-AFTER-TOWING.HTML I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE STALLING OCCURRING AFTER REFUELLING BUT FILE SIZE IS TOO LARGE TO ATTACH. LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE IT EMAILED DIRECTLY.
