2010 FORD F-150 Engine Problems

VEHICLE ENGINE HAS STOPPED WHILE IN MOTION ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ON 5 OCT 2012 WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 45 MPHS AND ONCE ON 19 OCT 2012 WHILE COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT. WAS UNABLE TO RESTART AT STOP LIGHT FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES. VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM BECAUSE I LOST CONTROL OF ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO STATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG MY MAKE AND YEAR MODEL. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FUEL VAPOR VALVE ASSEMBLY. REMAINS TO BE SEEN AS TO WHETHER THE PROBLEM IS FIXED OR NOT. OF COURSE, THE PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE DIED WHICH DISABLED THE POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. AFTER COMING TO A STOP, I WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE AND CONTINUE DRIVING. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER CODES AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. AS A SIDE NOTE, NOTHING IS WRONG ACCORDING TO THEM UNLESS THE COMPUTER FINDS AN ERROR CODE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN SPARKING FROM THE UNDERCARRIAGE AFTER DRIVING OVER ROAD DEBRIS. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE AS THE VEHICLE WAS BEGINNING TO IGNITE IN FLAMES. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED OR INSPECTED FOR THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT DID NOT CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,300. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SOMETIMES AROUND 45 TO 50 MPH WHEN ACCELERATING, THE TRUCK DOES A VIOLENT HARD SHIFT. IT IS RANDOM WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME FORD IS AWARE OF IT BUT DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY AND THEY JUST TELL ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

THIS F-150 PICK UP TRUCK WAS PURCHASED IN APRIL 2010 AS NEW. EVERYTHING WAS OK UNTIL APRIL 2012. THE TRUCK STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHEN IT SLOWED DOWN OR MADE TURNS. THE ENGINE DIED AND NO POWER, NO STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AND SENT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER SHOP RIGHT AWAY. ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER, IT STALLED COUPLE OF MORE TIMES. LUCKILY, NO OTHER CARS WERE BEHIND, OTHERWISE I COULD NOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR GET A CODE. I CHECKED ONLINE AND NOTICED MANY 2010 F150 OWNERS HAD SAME PROBLEMS. SOME OF PEOPLE MENTIONED TO CHANGE THROTTLE BODY, SO I TOLD THE DEALER SHOP AND GOT THROTTLE BODY CHANGED. DURING THE NEXT 2 MONTHS, IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. HOWEVER, ON JULY 5TH 2012, IT STALLED AGAIN WHEN I MADE TURNS IN THE LOCAL. I SENT THE...

ENGINE STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ERROR CODE WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED. AFTER THE ENGINE HAD STALLED FOR ABOUT 32-35 TIMES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP TO READ THE CODE WHICH INDICATED THAT THE EVAP SYSTEM WAS BLOCKED. MY DEALER DETERMINED THAT A SOLENOID IN THE FUEL EVAP. SYSTEM HAD FAILED. AS A RESULT THE FUEL TANK WAS COLLAPSED BY VACUUM BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SECONDARY TANK VENT. THIS IS DANGEROUS! THERE SHOULD BE A SECONDARY VENT OR A PRESSURE/VACUUM SENSOR TO PREVENT THE TANK FROM BEING COLLAPSED. NOTE: THE TANK WAS COLLAPSED SO MUCH SO, AS TO DAMAGE THE PUMP/LEVEL SENDING UNIT ASSEMBLY. *TR

ON MAY 8TH 2012, MY TRUCK STALLED WHILE I WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AT APPROX. 55 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS BRAND NEW WHEN I PURCHASED IT IN MAY OF 2009 FROM GULF COAST AUTO FORD IN ANGLETON,TEXAS. SO, I HAD THEM TOW IT TO THEIR SHOP FOR REPAIRS. THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR WAS REPLACED ON MAY 9TH, AND I DROVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL FRIDAY , MAY 11TH, WHEN THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE STALLED AT TRAFFIC SPEEDS, DIED, AND THEN COULDN'T BE RESTARTED! THIS SECOND INCIDENT ALSO RESULTED IN MY HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I AM TOLD THAT THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM!! IT NOW STARTS AFTER THE STALLING, BUT NOT UNTIL A PERIOD OF HOURS PASSES. WHAT CAN I DO? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE? FORD IS TELLING THE DEALERSHIP TO PUT AN ON-BOARD DATA RECORDER ON MY TRUCK THAT THEY CANNOT...
