2010 FORD F-150 Engine Problems

WHEN APPLYING SYNC UPDATE CAUSED SEVERAL FAILURE CODES TO TRANSMISSION MODULE AND TRANSMISSION SERVO. SYNC MODULE NO LONGER WORKS AFTER APPLYING SOFTWARE UPDATE AND MUST BE REPLACED. ALL TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE CODES WERE CLEARED. I BELIEVE THE SYNC MODULE UPDATE CAUSED FAILURE CODES AND DESTROYED SYNC MODULE. FORD DEALERSHIP CANNOT EXPLAIN

TRANSMISSION WON'T DOWN SHIFT ,OR DOWNSHIFTS WHEN NOT SUPPOSE TO, WHEN STARTING OUT OR SLOWING DOWN THERE IS SEVERE SHUTTERING FROM THE DRIVETRAIN.

WHILE DRIVING (IN MOTION) THE ENGINE RANDOMLY SHUTS DOWN CAUSING YOU TO LOSE BOTH STEERING AND BRAKING POWER. THIS HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING AND THE VEHICLE IS HARD TO CONTROL. SPEED DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A FACTOR BUT IT QUITS WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. *TR

HAD JUST COMPLETED AN OIL CHANGE IN NOVATO, CA AT THE OIL CHANGERS. WHEN DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER. (STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR HAD NO RESPONSE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON) I COASTED THE VEHICLE ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. CHECKED THE OIL PLUG WAS STILL IN THE OIL DRAIN PAN AND EVERYTHING LOOKED OK. THE VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP WITHOUT ISSUE AND HAS BEEN RUNNING FINE SINCE.

WHILE SLOWING TO APPROXIMATLY 20 MPH TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT A STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE DIED AND ALL BRAKING AND POWER STEERING WAS LOST. WHILE STILL PARTIALLY BLOKING THE INTERSECTION I PLACED THE TRANSSMISION IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. NO ENGINE FAULT CODES WERE DISPLAYED. I DROVE TO THE LOCAL DEALER IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INCIDENT. DEALER STATED THAT IF NO FAULT LIGHT WAS PRESENT THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE. SO FAR THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED ONE TIME.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD STUDS BREAKING CAUSING EXHAUST GAS LEAKAGE 5.4L 3 VALVE FLEX-FUEL ON BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE. FORD MOTOR COMPANY DECLINED TO COVER COSTS TO REPAIR. INTERNET FULL OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM AND FOMOCO IGNORES KNOWS DESIGN FLAW.

BOUGHT NEW IN APRIL 2010, FORD XLT150. NOW AT 73K MI. LAST TWO WEEKS. COULD NOT START TWICE AFTER FILLING UP. HAD TO KEEP FLOORING VEHICLE TO CRANK OVER.HI PERFORMANCE BATTERY IS TWO MTHS OLD. DIED AT RED LIGHT THREE TIMES. DIED AT YIELD SIGN TWICE.DIED AT BANK ATM ONCE. LOST STEERING CONTROL WHEN ENGINE DIED COMING OUT OF YIELD SIGN. LUCKILY HIT NO ONE.TOOK IT TO FORD DEALERSHIP,ASKED ABOUT RECALL NOTICE OR IF OTHERS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. NEGATIVE RESPONSE ON BOTH. TOLD THEM THOUSANDS OF SAME PROBLEM POSTED ON INTERNET. THEY TOLD ME MANY PEOPLE JUST POST STUFF. MANY POSTERS SAID FORD DEALERS COMPUTERS SHOWED NO PROBLEM WHEN TRUCK IS HOOKED UP.TAKING IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SHOP. TOO DANGEROUS TO KEEP DRIVING. WILL INJURE SOMEONE AND MYSELF,OR WORSE. WILL BE NOTIFYING FORD.

2010 FORD F150 WITH JUST OVER 60,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE FAILS AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN ENTIRELY. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE TRUCK COMES TO A STOP, BUT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING CASUALLY AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON CITY STREETS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. PERSONAL INVESTIGATION HAS LED TO FINDING NUMEROUS REPORTS ONLINE OF THE SAME OR WORSE PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL/YEAR OF FORD TRUCK. RESEARCH HAS LEAD TO SHOW THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE A FACTORY ISSUE WITH THE FUEL/AIR SYSTEM ON THE VEHICLE. NUMEROUS OTHER REPORTS ONLINE OF THE TRUCK FAILING WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN CAUSING ACCIDENTS IN SOME INSTANCES. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS IT ENDANGERS THE LIVES OF THOSE IN THIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHERS ON THE ROADWAY. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED IMMEDIATELY BY THE MANUFACTURER TO RECTIFY THIS WRONGDOING.

SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF NUMBER 2 CYLINDER WITH NO WARNING.

2010 FORD F150 STALLS WHEN GOING SLOW, AND TURNING LEFT. THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ALL POWER I HAD TO PUT IN PARK AND RESTART. TOOK ABOUT 5 TRIES FOR THE TRUCK TO RESTART. IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN ABOUT FIVE MINUTES LATER WHILE MAKING ANOTHER LEFT TURN. ALSO, DIED WHEN I WAS SITTING AT A LIGHT PREPARING TO TURN RIGHT.

4TH TIME IN LESS THAN A YEAR MY POWER STEERING HOSE HAS BLOWN OFF WHEN I START THE TRUCK WHEN THE TEMP IS BELOW 0 DEGREES F. IT WAS DOUBLE CLAMPED AND BEEN REPAIRED BY PROFESSIONALS MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED.

THE TRUCK MISSES AT AN IDLE AND WE ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE DRIVE SHAFT REPLACED.

THE TRUCK WILL JUST STALL WITH NO WARNING AND NO ENGINE ERROR CODES. I WAS GOING FROM A STOP TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND STALLED IN MIDDLE OF 4 LANE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO PUT THE ENGINE IN PARK AND START THE ENGINE IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF THE HIGHWAY. MY NEPHEW WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK A WEEK PRIOR AND IT STALLED AT A STOP LIGHT AND PROCEEDED TO ROLE DOWN A HILL. HE HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE. IT DOES NOT PRODUCE ANY ENGINE ERROR CODES. THE TRUCK WILL BE RUNNING JUST FINE THEN THE ENGINE WILL JUST QUIT. RESEARCHING ONLINE FOR FORD 5.4L F150 ENGINE STALLS IT APPEARS OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES. I TOOK IT THE OTHER DAY AND IT WAS STATED THAT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEN THEY SAID IT COULD BE A O2 SENSOR....

THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND WHEN SLOWING TO MAKE A SHARP TURN CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STOP AND LOOSE BRAKING AND STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE FORD DEALER AT A COST OF $820.25 TO REPLACE PART # 8F9Z 9F472 E SENSOR HEGO, ON THE FIRST VISIT WHICH DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, ON THE NEXT VISIT TO THE DEALER PART # 8F9Z 9E730 G SENSOR HEGO AND PART # 9L3Z 9E730 G VALVE ASY FUEL VAPOUR WERE REPLACED WHICH CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN APPROACHING STOP SINGS AND WHEN SLOWING TO MAKE A SHARP TURN ON HIGHWAYS WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC BEHIND MY VEHICLE CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKES AND STEERING. I HAVE THE INVOICES IN MY POSSESSION BUT AM UNABLE TO UPLOAD.

ENGINE STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING. MY TRUCK STALLED OUT ON ME 3 TIMES ON 10/21/15, AND HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES BEFORE BUT ALWAYS ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ON THE 21ST, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 5-10 MPH IN A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT WHEN MY TRUCK STALLED FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT DAY. ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES LATER, MY TRUCK STALLED TWO MORE TIMES, ONCE AT ABOUT THE SAME SPEED AS BEFORE AND ONCE WHILE I WAS SWITCHING LANES AT ABOUT 40 MPH. THIS ALSO MEAN I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND ALMOST GOT INTO 2 ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. AFTER THE PROBLEM OCCURS, AN OIL FUNNEL LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN I SHIFT MY TRUCK MANUALLY INTO NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY AND MY TRUCK FIRES RIGHT BACK UP WITHOUT HESITATION. I DROVE MY TRUCK STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I LET THEM TEST AND DRIVE IT FOR 2 DAYS...

WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE VEHICLE DIED AND MADE FUNNY NOISES WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START... TOOK FIVE TRIES BEFORE VEHICLE STARTED.

WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO TURN ONTO A SIDE ROAD, VEHICLE DIED AND I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP WITH NO STEERING OR BRAKES. VEHICLE STARTED UP IMMEDIATELY AFTER WITH NO STORED CODE.

EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE RUSTING OFF VERY BAD .BIG FLAKES .I DON'T EVEN DRIVE TRUCK IN WINTER .I CALLED FORD AND GOTE NO HELP.

I LIVE IN A METROPOLITAN AREA WHERE THERE IS ALWAYS A HIGH VOLUME OF TRAFFIC AND LOSING POWER OF A VEHICLE IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. DRIVING IN 5:00 RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND ACCELERATING FROM A RED LIGHT WHEN MY FORD TRUCK ENTERED INTO A "LIMP HOME" MODE (WRENCH ICON AND OIL LAMP APPEARED) IT STALLED OUT. I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT EVEN THOUGH I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. EVENTUALLY, I WAS ABLE TO START MY VEHICLE. MY TRUCK DROVE FINE BUT NOW AND THEN HAD A HESITATION TO START. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, IT STALLED AGAIN; THIS TIME IT DID NOT START. I WAS A BLOCK FROM MY OFFICE AND WE PUSHED IT BACK. I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. I WORK IN OUTSIDE SALES AND HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED $700. THE TRUCK...

IN A BRIEF SUMMARY, GOING IN TO WORK EARLY (5AM) POTENTIALLY SAVED ME FROM HAVING A WRECK TO DUE A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. UPON ACCELERATING FROM A RED LIGHT, MY TRUCK ENTERED INTO A "LIMP HOME" MODE (MECHANIC WRENCH ICON APPEARED) AND BEGAN TO INCORRECTLY REGULATE MY RPMS.

I HAVE 2010 FORD F150 FX4. I HAVE 36000 MILES ON IT AND AM THE ORIGINAL. BOUGHT IT NEW FROM DEALERSHIP. TODAY I WAS TOWING MY HORSE TRAILER WITH 2 HORSES IN IT AND CAME THROUGH THE RESIDENTIAL AREA NEAR THE BARN. SPEED LIMIT IS 30 MILES AN HOUR AND I WAS DOING 25 AND WAS ACTUALLY BRAKING TO SLOW IT DOWN TO 20. I HEARD A WEIRD ENGINE NOISE AND SUDDENLY THE TRUCK SURGED AND TOOK OFF. WE HIT ALMOST 50 MILES AN HOUR IN THIS RESIDENTIAL 2 LANE ROAD IN A MATTER OF SECONDS AND I WAS STANDING ON THE BRAKES WITH BOTH FEET.

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED ALWAYS IN THE SAME WAY IN SAME ORDER COMPLETE STOP OIL LIGHT BEEP AND ENGINE SHUT DOWN.

SINE I OWNS OWN SCAN TOOLS AND AM NOW OUT OF WARRANTY I HAVE NEED TO BRING TO DEALER TO WASTE MY TIME WHEN THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE UNTIL THERE IS A RECALL. *TR

TRUCK STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. USUALLY IT IS WHILE COMING TO A STOP BUT OCCASIONALLY IT IS WHILE MAKING A SLOW TURN. THIS MEANS THE POWER STEERING GOES AS DO THE BRAKES. VERY SCARY. THE ENGINE CODES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND SINCE THEY DO NOT SHOW ANYTHING THE TRUCK IS CONSIDERED GOOD. YET IT CONTINUES TO STALL. *TR

WHILE DECELERATING 2010 FORD F150 STALLED (4.6L V-8). VEHICLE RESTARTED IN NEUTRAL, THEN STALLED EACH TIME VEHICLE WAS PUT IN GEAR. INCREASED RPMS IN NEUTRAL AND PUT VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND DROVE TO SAFE AREA, VEHICLE STALLED. CLEANED MASS AIR FLOW AND MADE IT HOME. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE THE ONBOARD COMPUTER IS NOT DISPLAYING A CODE THAT THE TRUCK CANNOT BE FIXED.

MY 2010 FORD F 150 THAT I BOUGHT NEW IN AUGUST OF 2010 HAS STALLED FIVE DIFFERENT TIME OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS. THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT WITH LESS THAN 2000 MILES ON IT. WHILE STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT THE ENGINE JUST DIED. THE OTHER FOUR TIMES WAS WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. WHEN IT STALLS THE ENGINE RPM JUST GOES DOWN SMOOTHLY TO ZERO AND BECOMES VERY HARD TO STEER AND BRAKE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE MAKING A TURN ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHICH IS HOW TWO OF THE STALLS HAPPENED. THE LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON 11/27/2012 WITH ONLY 21,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. I CAME EXTREMELY CLOSE TO HITTING A DUMP TRUNK THAT HAD TO SWERVE NOT TO HIT ME. AFTER I STOP AND PUT IT BACK TO PARK IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP AND RUNS FINE. NO ENGINE LIGHTS...

WHILE BREAKING TO MAKE RIGHT HAND TURN ENGINE STALLED. FIRST INDICATION WAS TRUCK WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. I WAS ABLE TO STOP TRUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. AT A HIGHER SPEED THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. FORD DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH AN INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THOUSANDS OF SUCH INCIDENTS, MANY OF THEM REPORTED TO THIS AGENCY. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND A CAUSE, ALTHOUGH THE MANAGER SAID IT WAS LIKELY THE THROTTLE BODY BUT HE COULD NOT REPLACE A PART UNDER WARRANTY UNLESS IT WAS POSITIVELY KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE. I WAS SENT ON MY WAY TO RISK MY LIFE IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. *TR
