NHTSA Complaint #11163180 — 2016 FORD F-150

WE JUST TOOK MY 2016 F150 ECOBOOST TO WEST TEXAS OVER THANKSGIVING. TOWED UNDER 7500 LBS. TOWED COMPLETELY NORMAL THE WHOLE TIME (15 HOURS) UNTIL THE RETURN TRIP HOME. ABOUT 2.5 HOURS INTO MY RETURN TRIP (I WAS TOWING WITHOUT MY HUSBAND AND WITH TWO YOUNG KIDS ON A BACK HIGHWAY WITH NO CELL SERVICE AND ABSOLUTELY NO STOPS FOR 2 OF THOSE HOURS😯) I PULLED OVER TO SEE WHERE MY NEXT GAS STATION WAS AND MY TRUCK DIED. IT WOULD RESTART BUT WOULD DIE AGAIN. I FINALLY FIGURE I'M SCREWED, I'LL TRY AND JUST HIT THE GAS AND GO. SO I TOOK OFF AND BLEW THROUGH A STOP SIGN AND DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I REACHED A GAS STATION, WHERE IT DIED WHEN I STOPPED.. IT WAS SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND ALL THE REPAIR SHOPS WERE CLOSED AND THERE WEREN'T ANY PARTS STORES OPEN. I FINALLY UNPLUGGED THE CAMPER, THINKING IT WAS DRAINING MY BATTERY AND STARTED IT UP AND GASSED IT TO GET IT GOING AND DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I REACHED SONORA AND CAMPED FOR THE NIGHT, ABOUT 20 MILES AWAY. AND THEN MY TRUCK WAS TOTALLY FINE AFTER THAT. I NEVER HOOKED THE CAMPER BACK UP AND I HAD FILLED UP THE GAS TANK AND PUT FUEL INJECTION CLEANER INTO THE TANK AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY MORE STALLS. THE ONLY LIGHT THAT CAME ON WHEN IT STALLED WAS THE BATTERY LIGHT.
