2011 FORD F-150 Fuelpropulsion System Problems

Was starting to accelerate out of a toll booth a vehicle and was about 60mph when suddenly the engine shut off. Electrical worked. Got mechanical symbol and then oil pressure low warning. It started to down shift and slow rapidly in traffic. Managed to get to side of road but almost got hit. Got it towed to dealer and the fuel pump fuse had melted. Shutting off the fuel pump.

The vacuum pump recall was replaced in 2016 and it’s bad again. I have the emissions warranty with ford I am 6 owner the other 5 owners were resale so I get the one time lifetime emission warranty. the truck is doing all kinds of crazy stuff

I was driving 65MPH. The Change Oil Soon Message come on. I pressed Reset to clear the message. Within seconds the truck jerked twice and when I looked at the dash I was in 1st gear doing over 5500 RPM. The speedometer showed I was not moving but no other indications of error on the dash. No Wrench showing this time. I pulled over and turned the truck off. Restarted the engine and everything was just fine the whole way home from there. I drove the truck to the dealership (Lawton, OK) to check the truck for me on Thursday but they seemed to think if the check engine light was not on there was no urgency. They know it is an F150 from 2011. They want me to return on the 16th for an appointment.

I’ve been having problems with my truck since my purchase date June 29 of 2021! I own a 2011 Ford F150 super crew! My truck has been to the ford company at least 5 to 6 times. I have inform the service team that this is a business truck! I have bought a new battery because I was told I was having low voltage but with the new battery I am having the same issues! I have had actually weighed a problem her assembly problems I have had my brakes replaced in the rear I have had converter problems and I was also told that I should get a tuneup but didn’t need it! I have had some bad experience with my Ford F150 2011 super crew and all I ask is for a better experience! I’ve never had an accident in his truck! I never had a accident in...

On certain days, usually humid days, when you approach a hill and give it gas, a wrench appears on the display and the truck goes into Limp mode. It may go for weeks without doing this, but when it happens, you may get killed. Especially, if you are on a highway. You have no power to move the truck. You are a sitting duck. I took in to a service station and the cleaned the Throttle body, but it still happens. If you drive slowly without changing accelerator position the truck will drive but too slowly. It happens far too much.

I AM SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT OR STREET SIGN MY FOOT IS ON THE BREAK ALL THE WAY DOWN AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUMPS FORWARD. THEN IT STARTED PUTTING WHEN I DROVE AND KEPT GETTING WORSE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES FOR A GOOD MINUTE. EVERYTIME IT SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, AND THE DEALERSHIP ONLY FOUND MINOR STUFF THAT NEEDED FIXED BUT IT WAS NONE OF THOES THAT WAS CAUSING THIS ISSUE. SO THEN I LOOKED FOR RECALLS, AND I HAD THE RECALL ON MY TRUCK DONE AND THEN MY TRUCK STARTED KNOCKING. THIS IS STILL HAPPENING AND NOBODY CAN SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHATS GOING ON WITH THE TRUCK.

INADEQUATE CONTACTS ON FUSE RELAY FOR FUEL PUMP, CAUSING OVERHEATING WITHOUT BURNING OUT THE FUES(#27 IN THE FUSE BOX). THIS CAUSED THE RELAY AND FUSE TO START MELTING AND RESULTED IN IMMEDIATE SHUT DOWN OF THE FUEL PUMP, AND COMPLETE POWER LOSS. I WAS LUCKY IT HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY. NO WARNING AT ALL. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF IT HAD HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY.

I PURCHASED MY 2011 F150 ECOBOOST IN USED CONDITION IN 2014. THE PRIMARY USE FOR MY TRUCK IS AROUND TOWN ERRANDS AND HAULING LIGHT LOADS. FOR SOMETIME NOW I HAVE HAD ISSUES, LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED AS WELL, DURING ACCELERATION AT 45+MPH THE ENGINE LOSES IT'S POWER, SHUDDERS AND STALLS. ONCE THERE IS A REDUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF THROTTLE, IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES TO REGAIN "NORMAL" DRIVING CONDITIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, MY FAMILY AND I WERE COMING HOME FROM FLORIDA ON THE PARKWAY, IN JULY AND WITH NO ABNORMAL WEATHER CONDITIONS, AND AS I WAS ASCENDING A GRADE ABOUT 75 MILES PER HOUR AND A SEMI TRUCK BEHIND ME, I GAVE THE TRUCK MORE THROTTLE AND IT BEGAN TO SHUDDER VIOLENTLY, A SUBTLE BACKFIRE, AND LOST POWER AND COULD NOT REGAIN THROTTLE RESPONSE. I QUICKLY MOVED THE TRUCK INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND HAD LET THE TRUCK RETURN...

UPON HARD ACCELERATION, WHILE TRYING TO PASS A VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS, SHAKES AND STALLS. THE MPH GOES DOWN AND DOWN EVEN IF PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. I MUST PULL OVER, PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND TURN OFF THE TRUCK. AVOIDING A HEAD ON COLLISION IS DIFFICULT WHEN THIS HAPPENS. AFTER RESTARTING THE TRUCK, THE ENGINE LIGHT THEN COMES ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE GAS MILEAGE IS NOW INACCURATE AND IT APPEARS THAT THE "MILES TO EMPTY" DOES NOT MATCH THE MILES DRIVEN. RIVERTOWN FORD (COLUMBUS, GA) CLAIMS TO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS TYPE OF SITUATION. SPARK PLUGS & BOOTS WERE SAID TO BE THE CAUSE THE FIRST TIME ON 6/2/18. THE 2ND TIME 12/12/18, THE "INTERCOOLER SHIELD WAS INSTALLED & PCM REPROGRAMMED" -- I WAS PROMISED THIS WAS THE 100% FIX. AS OF 2/28/20, RIVERTOWN ADVISES THEIR FIX IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND...

THROTTLE BODY NEEDS REPLACED AFTER 120000 MILES AFTER CAR STALLED INTO 'LIMP MODE' GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. TRUCK DIAGNOSED AT BAXTER FORD SOUTH IN OMAHA NE AND ANDERSON FORD IN LIBCOLN NE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN THE TRUCK GAVE NO WARNING SIGNS AND JUST HESITATED AND SLOWED DOWN WITH LITTLE OR NO RESPONSE TO THROTTLING. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CASES OF THIS WITH THE FORD F-150 2011. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER FORDS AROUND THAT YEAR THAT HAVE HAD THROTTLE BODY ISSUES. I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS. IT A RECALL?

VEHICLE RUNS ROUGH AND THROWS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM IT RUNS SMOOTHER. AFTER TROUBLE SHOOTING POSSIBLE PROBLEMS, IT WAS DETERMINED TO PROBABLY BE A STICKY VALVE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE. I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS TRUCK WAS SERVICED AND THE ISSUE CORRECTED WHILE OWNED BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER. IF YES, IT IS BROKEN AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING THE ORANGE WRENCH APPEARS IN THE DASH BOARD. THE POWER IS SHUT DOWN AND THE ENGINE RUNS REAL ROUGH LIKE IT ONLY A 2 CYLINDERS. BUT, THERE IS NO POWER AND THE GAS PEDAL DOESN'T ACCELERATE THE TRUCK. THE MOTOR IS RUNNING, THO ROUGH, BUT THERE IS NO POWER AT ALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES TO ME IN THE PAST 8 MONTHS WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. YOU HAVE TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF, WAIT A FEW MINUTES, THEN RESTART THE TRUCK AND IT RUNS AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO FORD TWICE, LEAVING WITH THEM FOR 8 HOURS BUT THEY CAN'T FIND ANY INFO ON THE TRUCK COMPUTER TO SHOW ANY PROBLEMS. I HAVE ALSO TAKEN IT TO 2 DIFFERENT MECHANICS BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND AND PROBLEM LOGGED INTO THE COMPUTER. FORD SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM EVEN THO I...

WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND TRUCK LOST ALL POWER WITH NO WARNING. I SHUT IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT PRESSED THE THROTTLE DOWN AND HAD NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. SHUT IT OFF AGAIN AND RESTARTED IT AND IMMEDIATELY MASHED THE THROTTLE..MADE IT TO A GARAGE..TURNED IT OFF..WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON NO WRENCH LIGHT AND OR RAN FINE. THE MECHANIC FOUND NO CODES BUT I TOLD HIM TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY AND POSITION SENSOR..HE DID..ON THE WAY HOME SAME THING HAPPENED..TOOK IT TO LOCAL FORD DEALER. THEY DID DIAGNOSTIC AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS..THERE IS A PROBLEM AND A VERY DANGEROUS ONE

TRUCK WILL HAVE SEVERE INTERMITTENT STUMBLE/MISFIRING ON ACCELERATION FROM 45MPH+ IN HUMID, WET OR DAMP CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS VIOLENTLY, BOGS DOWN, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES EVENTUALLY BECOMING A SOLID ENGINE LIGHT. THIS INVOLVES THE ENGINE SHUDDERING WHEN THERE IS ACCELERATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS; THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO PASS VEHICLES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HAVE MY SPARK PLUGS AND COILS REPLACED AFTER THE FOLLOWING HAPPENED IN DAMP AND WET WEATHER CONDITIONS. MAKE YEARS SEEM TO INVOLVE 2011-14 ECOBOOST TRUCKS. FROM THOUSANDS OF FORD FORUM POSTS, THE TRUCKS HAVE AN INTERCOOLER CONDENSATION PROBLEM THAT IS CAUSING POOR PERFORMANCE AND SPARK PLUGS/COILS TO FAIL EARLY. WATER AND OIL VAPOR/RESIDUE CONDENSATION IS BEING SUCKED INTO THE ENGINE. PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO TAKE IT UPON THEMSELVES TO FIND A SOLUTION BY DRILLING A 1/16' HOLE IN THE LOW POINT OF THE INTERCOOLER DRIVER'S SIDE TO DRAIN OIL/WATER CONDENSATION/RESIDUE OR INSTALL A...

I HAVE SEVERAL OCCASION FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS OF MY F150 NOT STARTING WHEN TURNING THE KEY ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY COULDN'T DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. I'VE HAD SEVERAL OCCASION OF THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT TURN ON AND THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED. JUST RECENTLY I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND AT A SMALL ANGLE AND THE TRUCK COMPLETELY STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING. I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP WITHOUT ANY POWER STEERING UNTIL IT FINALLY STOPPED. I TRIED TO CRANK IT OVER BUT IT WOULDN'T START. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES IT FINALLY STARTED WITHOUT ISSUE. I'VE HAD IT STALL TWICE WHILE I LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF MY TRUCK AND IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAD TO TOW IT TO MY DEALERSHIP AGAIN TODAY. I THINK I MAY HAVE FINALLY FOUND THE ISSUE WHICH MAY POINT TO A...

I WAS RECENTLY DRIVING ON A CONGESTED INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE LOST SPEED RAPIDLY CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE TRYING TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY. THE SYSTEM WENT INTO "SAFE MODE, ALSO KNOWN AS LIMP HOME." THIS MALFUNCTION (FORD CODE P2112) HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE LIFE OF THE TRUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE THEN LOST POWER. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP RELAY BOX FAILED AND CAUSED THE FUEL PUMP TO BURN. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED CAVALIER FORD LINCOLN GREENBRIER (1515 S MILITARY HWY, CHESAPEAKE, VA 23320, PHONE: 757) 424-1111) AND WAS INFORMED THAT HE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR FEES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE COST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT THE FAILURE AND, IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED, THERE WOULD BE A FEE. THE APPROXIMATE...

MY V-6 ECOBOOST ENGINE SHUDDERS UPON ACCELERATING, LOSES POWER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING ON & OFF. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES ESPECIALLY WHEN THE WEATHER IS DAMP. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 75K

MY NAME IS [XXX], I OWN A 2011 F150 ECOBOOST. OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS I HAVE ENCOUNTERED AND SAME ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE MISFIRING DUE TO MOISTURE GETTING IN THE INTAKE. EVERYONE DEALERSHIP PERSONAL I'VE SPOKEN WITH HAS CONFIRMED THAT IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THAT YEAR AND MODEL AND THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX. HOWEVER WHEN THE ENGINE CONTINUOUSLY MISFIRES IT CALLS FOR SERVICE ON THE TRUCK AND REPLACEMENT OF CERTAIN PARTS. I AM FILLING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS RIGHT THAT FORD SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO IGNORE A KNOWN ISSUE THAT HAS ALMOST GOTTEN MYSELF AND FAMILY INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. AS WELL COST ME MONEY OUT OF POCKET TO CORRECT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMEONE HOLD FORD ACCOUNTABLE BEFORE THIS ISSUE GETS SOMEONE KILLED.

I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (70+ MPH) ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD GOING UPHILL IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN THE TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THE TRUCKS' POWER STEERING, BRAKING, AND MANEUVERABILITY BECAME EXTREMELY CHALLENGING AS I TRIED TO PULL IT TO SAFETY. HOWEVER, WITH IT BEING ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD THERE WAS VERY LITTLE SHOULDER AND PART OF MY TRUCK ENDED UP BLOCKING TRAFFIC SINCE THE TRUCK WAS UNRESPONSIVE. MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD! THE FAULTY COMPONENT THAT CAUSED THIS SITUATION IS THE FUEL PUMP FUSE OVERHEATED CAUSING NO FUEL DELIVERY TO MY VEHICLE. I LATER LEARNED THROUGH SOME RESEARCH THAT FORD MOTOR CO. HAD ISSUED, WITHOUT ALERTING THE PUBLIC, A TSB (15-0137) REGARDING THE FUEL PUMP FUSE. I HAD NO IDEA SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL ISSUED. IF I HAD KNOWN, THIS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED!!!

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THIS TRUCK, WHILE MERGING ON A HIGHWAY, MY TRUCK LOSES ALL POWER AND STARTS SHAKING RAPIDLY, ONCE AGAIN I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULD NOT MERGE. WHEN I INITIALLY HAD THIS ISSUE 50 THOUSAND MILES AGO, I BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO AUTO-NATION FORD IN WHITE BEAR LAKE MINNESOTA, THEY SAID IT WAS AN ISSUE OF SPARK PLUGS, WIRES AND COIL PACKS, FORD ALSO SAID THE ISSUE WAS THE INTER-COOLER. FORD FIXED ALL OF THOSE ISSUES ROUGHLY 50 THOUSAND MILES AGO, BUT HERE WE ARE, MY TRUCK IS AT 100,XXX MILES AND THIS ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN! THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, I HAVE NOW BEEN RUN OFF THE ROAD TWICE AND ALMOST CRASHED INTO A LAKE! WHEN MY TRUCK LOSES ALL POWER AND STARTS SHAKING RAPIDLY, I LOSE CONTROL OF THE HALF TON TRUCK....

THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2011 FORD F150. HOWEVER, MY VIN IS NOT THE ONE AFFECTED. EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME TRANSMISSION AND YEAR.I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE BEING DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL AND ON THE FORUMS. I DROVE THE CAR AFTER IT WAS LEFT FOR 36 HOURS AND IT DOWNSHIFTED AFTER GOING 25 MPH. I COASTED BACK INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED OFF CAR AND RESTARTED, WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT EVENTUALLY GAVE ME A MAINT ERROR (YELLOW WRENCH) I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME. AFTER IT WAS SHUT OFF OVERNIGHT IF WAS FINE THE NEXT DAY AND NO ERROR CODE. I HAD A MECHANIC PUT A SCANNER ON THE TRUCK AND HE COULD NOT PULL THE ERROR CODE. I HAVE USED IT SPARINGLY FOR 3 DAYS WITHOUT AN ISSUE. I AM JUST WORRIED, IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AT ANY TIME OR CAUSE...

ONE OF THE BACK BOLTS BROKE OFF OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WHILE DRIVING. . THIS CAUSED THE GASKET TO FAIL WHICH IN TURN MADE A LOUD NOISE. BECAUSE THIS IS A TURBO CHARGED ENGINE THE MOTOR LOST POWER. TOOK TRUCK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, GASKET AND BROKEN BOLTS. TOTAL REPAIRS WERE $1214.02

SINCE I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE NEW, I'VE HAD A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS RELATED TO ACCELERATION. VEHICLE WOULD ALMOST STALL ON HARD ACCELERATION WHEN GETTING ON THE FREEWAY. DEALER REPLACED SPARK PLUGS & BOOTS, BUT CONDITION WAS NOT COMPLETELY RESOLVED. VEHICLE WOULD STILL ON OCCASION REPEAT THE SAME PROBLEM. MORE RECENTLY WHEN DRIVING YESTERDAY, THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING, THEN BECAME STEADY. OF GREATER CONCERNED I GOT AN ENGINE LIGHT & POOR ACCELERATION. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER & DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT THE TIMING BELT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $2000+. VEHICLE HAD JUST TURNED 61000 MILES. DEALER SERVICE AGENT TELLS ME ITS NOT UNCOMMON AND COULD BE CAUSED BY NOT GETTING THE OIL CHANGED AT RECOMMENDED INTERVALS. VEHICLE HAS HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES AT THE DEALER & OTHER SERVICE FACILITIES. NEVER HEARD OF THIS & I THINK IT'S PREMATURE FOR A VEHICLE WITH 61000...

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 55 MPH THE VEHICLE WILL DOWN SHIFT AND THE ODOMETER WILL DIE AND DROP TO ZERO, MOST OF THE INDICATORS WILL HAVE DASHES INSTEAD OF NUMBERS. THE TRUCK WILL AUTOMATICALLY SLOW DOWN CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I THEN HAVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY FROM IGNITION AND RESTART THE VEHICLE UP AGAIN TO RESET ALL THE GAUGES. THIS NORMALLY HAPPENS WITHIN THE FIRST 10 MILES OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THIS WOULD ONLY HAPPEN ON A FEW OCCASIONS NOW IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED AROUND THE 1ST OF JULY 2016 BUT I WAS TOLD THE SOFTWARE FIX WOULD NOT BE READY UNTIL THE 3 QUARTER OF THE YEAR. FORD NOW WANTS TO CHARGE ME $131.00 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT...

THOUSANDS OF FORD F150 OWNERS (20011-2015) BAVE EXPERIENCING WITH ECOBOOST ENGINES MOSTLY WITH MY MOST RECENT ISSUE "TIMING CHAIN STRETCHING CHAIN" AND FAULTY CAM PHASERS, I BELIEVE WE DESERVE TO AT LEAST GET OUR VEHICLES FIX. I STRUGGLE PAYING MY TRUCK AND I CANT PAY 4000 DLLS TO FIX THIS ISSUE THAT I STRONGLY BELIEVE IS A FORD'S NEGLIGENCE.

WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK (WHAT SEEMED LIKE) SHIFTED HARD THEN THE WRENCH SIGN CAME UP ON THE SCREEN AND THROTTLE WOULD NOT WORK. I WAS DOING 50 MPH AT THE TIME AND HAD TO HIT THE HAZARDS AND PULL OVER. ONCE I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND TURNED IT BACK ON IT SEEMED OK, PULLED THE CODE P2112 THROTTLE BODY. LOOKED ONLINE AND MANY , MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. CAN'T BELIEVE THIS ISN'T A RECALL SEEING HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS.

I HAVE A 2011 FORD F-150 4X2 PLATINUM 4 DOOR PICK, EQUIPPED WITH A 5.0 LITRE V-8ENGINE, WHICH HAD 51881 MILES WHEN MY PROBLEM OCCURRED. WE WERE IN CAMERON, ARIZONA, ON OUR WAY TO THE EAST RIM OF THE GRAND CANYON. TURNED OFF THE TRUCK, USED THEIR FACILITIES, WENT BACK TO TRUCK, IT CRANKED, BUT WOULD NOT START, EVEN AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS. LET SET FOR ONE HOUR, STILL WOULD NOT START. CALLED TOW TRUCK, WHICH HAD TO COME FROM FLAGSTAFF. DROPPED OFF AT FORD DEALER, AS IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING MORNING, EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD ALONG LIST OF VEHICLES TO WORK ON. I THEN TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE, IT DID START, PICKED MY WIFE AND BELONGINGS FROM THE HOTEL, AND DROVE, NON-STOP TO EL CENTRO (350 MILES). TOOK TO DEALER. IT STARTED AGAIN FOR THEM. GO FIGURE!...

WHILE PASSING A SEMI ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY MY ECOBOOST F150 BEGAN TO SHUTTER AND LOOSE POWER. I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE ALREADY INVESTIGATED THIS ISSUE AND DETERMINED IT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER MY EXPERIENCE TODAY I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE, LET ME EXPLAIN. WHEN THIS HAPPENS WHILE PASSING SOMEONE AND YOU'RE FORCED TO SLOW DOWN WHILE IN WRONG LANE. THIS CAN BE QUITE SCARY, CARS COMING AT YOU, CARS BEHIND YOU ALSO WANTING TO PASS AND A LARGE SEMI NEXT YOU.

TRUCK HAS LOSS OF POWER WHEN PULLING OUT TO PASS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS NEARLY CAUSING HEAD ON CRASHES.

UPON DOWNSHIFT DURING ACCELERATION, THE TRUCK SHUDDERS, MISFIRES, BACKFIRES THROUGH EXHAUST SYSTEM, AND LOSES POWER WHILE CREATING A VIOLENT SHAKE IN THE DRIVETRAIN. THIS OCCURS IN BELOW 35 DRY OR WET WEATHER. THIS ISSUE DESTROYED MY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, AS WELL AS BROKE LOOSE THE BAFFLES IN FACTORY MUFFLER CAUSING OVER $2,000 IN REPAIRS FOR EXHAUST. I FURTHER REPLACED PLUGS, AND PLUG BOOTS. THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO HAVE THIS SEVERE ISSUE, AND THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP FROM FURTHER DAMAGING THE VEHICLE IS TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, AND IDLE AS WELL AS REV ENGINE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE, AND NEARLY CAUSED OTHER VEHICLES TO REAR ENDED ME ON AT LEAST 5 OCCASIONS. ALL OF WHICH I HAD TO JUMP ONTO SHOULDER OF ROAD OR IN MEDIAN TO KEEP FROM GETTING HIT. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. I CURRENTLY...

I HAVE THE ECOBOOST MOTOR. I WAS PASSING A VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER AND STARTED SHUTTERING. THE WEATHER WAS DRY AND SUNNY. IF THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN SOMEONE COMING AND I HAD TO ACCELERATE HARD TO GET AROUND THE VEHICLE THAT I WAS PASSING, IT COULD HAVE BEEN BAD. I TOOK THIS TRUCK IN FOR THIS PROBLE BEFORE TO FORD AND THEY PUT A AIR DAM PLATE KIT IN FRONT OF THE CAC. THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS FORDS FIX FOR THE PROBLEM SO THEY KNOW THEY A HAVE DEFECT WITH THE SYSTEM. THIS FIX ISN'T WORKING AND I READ WHERE THEY WEREN'T GOING TO MAKE FORD FIX THE PROBLEM THAT GOING TO GET SOMEONE HURT OR KILLED IN THESE VEHICLES SOMEDAY. I GUESS THAT'S WHAT IT TAKE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT FILED FOR THIS DEFECT.

FAULT LOG CODE P0234, TURBO NOISE HISSING, CUTTING OUT. LOSS OF POWER. POOR ACCELERATION. COOLANT LEEKS, OIL LEEKS. RETURNED TO CORNING FORD FOR MORE SERVICE WORK. ORIGINAL SERVICE OCTOBER 11 / 2015. SECOND SERVICE DECEMBER 28 / 2015 COOLANT LEEK, TURBO HISSING, CUTTING OUT HISSING WHEN UNDER ACCELERATION. CONDITION WHEN IN MOTION ON CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY DRIVING.

FORD F150 3.5L ECOBOOST COMPLETELY LOOSES POWER WHEN ACCELERATING IN PASSING GEAR. VEHICLE SHUTTERS AND BUCKS SEVERALLY AND DOES NOT ALLOW ANY TYPE OF ACCELERATION TO BE ABLE TO EXIT INTO SLOW LANE INTERSTATE TRAFFIC. NORMAL OPERATION RETURNS AFTER ABOUT 1.5 MINUTES OF COASTING AND THEN GENTLY APPLYING ACCELERATOR TO REGAIN VEHICLE CONTROL. DURING THE RECOVERY TIME THE ENGINE RUNS VERY ROUGH AS IF TIMING WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF SYNC.I DRIVE 1000 MILES PER WEEK ON INTERSTATE 95 AND THIS CONDITION IS ONGOING. I EXPERIENCE AT LEAST 2 OR 3 OF THESE EPISODES PER WEEK WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN TO ME BECAUSE THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER COMPLETELY AND DOES NOT RECOVER UNTIL 1.5 MINUTES LATER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON VERY TIME THIS CONDITION OCCURS. WHEN READING THE ERROR CODES IT ONLY SHOW MISFIRING OF ALL CYLINDERS (CODE P0300).

THIS IS A ECOBOOST ENGINE. WHEN I GO TO PASS SOMEONE THE ENGINE STARTS SPUTTERING AS IF IT IS GOING TO CUT OFF. LOSES POWER AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. I NOTICED WHERE THIS WAS UNDER INVESTIGATION BUT THAT HAS BEEN DROPPED. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED. THIS HAPPENS TO ME FREQUENTLY. SEEMS LIKE IT HAPPENS IN DAMP OR HUMID WEATHER. IN MOST CASES IF IT IS A GRADUL ACCELERATION IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK FOR THE LAST 25000 MILES AND IT HAS DONE IT MOST OF THAT TIME. I NOTICED THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS UNDER INVESTIGATION SO I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT IN HOPING YOU WOULD ISSUE A RECALL. DON'T WAIT UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE.

WHEN THE TURBO BOOST IS 11PSI MISFIRING BEGINS - NO AFTER MARKET ENGINE PROGRAMMING. IF TURBO DEMAND IS NOT REDUCED, OR IS INCREASED THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE DISENGAGED - 'LIMP MODE.' ON THE DATE CITED, THIS HAPPENED NO LESS THAT 3 TIMES. LOCAL HUMIDITY WAS 50-70%, AS I RECALL, AND THERE WAS NO RAIN. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS MULTIPLE TIMES WITH LOCAL HUMIDITY NOTED AT 50 %. MY EXPERIENCE IS THAT THE MISFIRING WILL OCCUR ANYTIME TURBO PSI EXCEEDS 11, WHETHER TOWING OR NOT, THOUGH TOWING WILL BE MORE APT TO ENCOUNTER 11PSI. MY TRAILER IS WITHIN ALL TOW LOAD LIMITS FOR MY TRUCK, AXLES AND TONGUE, PER FORD'S RV & TRAILER TOWING GUIDE. MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH THE TRUCK GOING LIMP WAS JUNE OF 2014. I PULLED THE TRUCK TO THE SHOULDER NEXT TO A GUARD RAIL AND CALLED FOR TOWING. THE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO TURN AND A WARNING DISPLAYED ON THE PANEL THAT READ 'SERVICE ADVANCE TRAP". THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS ACTIVATED AND THERE WAS LOSS OF ACCELERATION AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

WHEN ACCELERATING AND APPROACHING FREEWAY SPEED, ENGINE STUMBLED, PREVENTING ACCELERATION. I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND PROBLEM DIDN'T OCCUR AGAIN. I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY STATED THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE DID NOT REGISTER A CODE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I HAVE SINCE HAD THIS HAPPEN AGAIN ON JULY 17 & 18, 2015, BUT THIS TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT DID COME ON, SO I'M ASSUMING IT DID REGISTER A CODE. ON JULY 17, IT WAS A CLEAR DRY DAY, THE FOLLOWING DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT IT WAS RAINING ALL DAY. ONCE ON THE FREEWAY, WHENEVER I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR, EVEN WHEN AT FREEWAY SPEED, THE ENGINE WOULD STUMBLE AND BARELY ACCELERATE. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND SCHEDULED AN INSPECTION FOR JULY 29, 2015. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 47000 MILES. I'VE TALKED TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND I AM BEING TOLD THIS IS NOT A...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL FUMES EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT FOUND A LEAK AND NOTICED FUEL SPEWING OUT OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND MADE THE CONTACT AWARE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.

ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE TO PASS A SLOWER VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. TRUCK BEGAN SHUDDERING AND IMMEDIATELY DECELERATED TO 50MPH. WOULD NOT RESPOND FOR APPROXIMATELY 75 YARDS, THEN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 60MPH. TWO VEHICLES (ONE OF THOSE VEHICLES WAS A TRACTOR-TRAILER) FOLLOWING HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID REAR-END COLLISION. EXITED THE HIGHWAY, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ENGAGED. WEATHER WAS SUNNY AND WARM. NOW VEHICLE IS SHIFTING VERY HARD WITH A DELAYED ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN 55-60MPH. *TR

SAME AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED BY MANY OTHERS: MISFIRE UPON ACCELERATION UP A HILL; REPORTED TO DEALER WHO FOUND NO ERROR CODES. HAPPENED AGAIN SOON AFTER, THIS TIME ACTIVATING ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. DEALER REPLACED CYLINDER COIL; NEXT DAY, SAME TYPE OF MISFIRE OCCURRENCE. VERY UNSAFE SITUATION, COSTING ME LOTS OF TIME AND MONEY. IN ADDITION, THIS ECCOBOOST, AS I HAVE REPORTED TO FORD SINCE IT WAS NEW, HAS NEVER ACHIEVED EVEN CLOSE TO RATED MPG, ONLY AVERAGING 14 MPG OR 40% LESS THAN ADVERTISED. VEHICLE NOW BACK AT LIVERMORE FORD, WHERE TECHNICIAN WAS ASKED BY SERVICE DEPT TO DRIVE UNIT HOME HOOKED INTO COMPUTER TO SEE IF PROBLEM CAN BE DIAGNOSED. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE AND UNSAFE SITUATION. NOT HAPPY. *TR

WHILE TOWING MY CAMPER AT 60 MPH UP AN INCLINE MY 5.0L F150 BEGAN TO LOSE POWER, AS I INCREASED PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR THE POWER TO THE VEHICLE DECREASED EVEN MORE. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I LIMPED UP THE HILL AT A WHOPPING 20MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. ONCE ON THE DOWNGRADE THE VEHICLE CAME BACK UP TO SPEED AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO HAVE POWER ISSUES AND A KNOCKING FROM THE MOTOR WHEN I WAS CLIMBING HILLS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD GARAGE AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO CODES TO TELL THEM WHAT WAS WRONG. THE VEHICLE STILL HAS THE APPARENT MISS AND KNOCKING SOUND AT CERTAIN RPM'S AND NOW HAS AN ISSUE STARTING FOR THE FIRST TIME OF THE DAY. I AGAIN TOOK IT TO THE FORD GARAGE WHEN THE STARTING ISSUE WAS HAPPENING AND...

THE ECOBOOST ENGINE FORD INTRODUCED INTO THE F150 (AND OTHER VEHICLES) IN 2011 SEEMS TO BE HAVING COMMON AND WIDESPREAD PROBLEMS, INCLUDING MY VEHICLE. I FIRST REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALER WITH ABOUT 30,000 MILES AND NOW AGAIN AT 63,000 MILES. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS REVEALED UNDER ANY ACCELERATION "EVENT" SUCH AS HIGHWAY MERGING, PASSING, TOWING ETC. UNDER ACCELERATION THE VEHICLE "CHOKES" AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE AS THE DRIVER & PASSENGERS EXPERIENCE THE VEHICLE STALLING, SHUDDERING OR BUCKING. THIS IS OFTEN DESCRIBED AS THE VEHICLE GOING INTO "LIMP MODE" OPERATING ON FEWER THAN ALL CYLINDERS. THE PROBLEMS APPEAR TO STEM FROM DYSFUNCTIONAL INTERCOOLER OPERATION ON THIS TWIN TURBO ENGINE. THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT SCENARIOS DESCRIBED IN F150 BLOGS. ONE, MOST COMMON, IS THAT THE COOLING OF THE AIR VIA THE INTERCOOLER CAUSES CONDENSATION TO ACCUMULATE INSIDE THE AIR INTAKE. WHEN THE DRIVER ACCELERATES, THE INCREASE IN AIR VOLUME DRAWS...

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE MISFIRING AT MODERATE TO HARD ACCELERATION. THIS REALLY BOTHERS ME. AS I HAVE TALKED WITH FORD MECHANICS I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT FORD HAS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ AND STUDIED, THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH CONDENSATION IN THE INTERCOOLER MAKING ITS WAY TO HE INJECTORS. ONCE YOU PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE YOU EXPERIENCE A SOMETIMES VIOLENT STUTTER AND THE VEHICLE NOT ACCELERATING BUT INSTEAD SOUNDING LIKE IT'S GOING TO EXPLODE. I HAVE ALSO HEARD THIS HAPPENS WHEN ITS HUMID OUTSIDE. REGARDLESS, ONE DAY I'M GOING TO NEED TO ACCELERATE AWAY OR FROM SOMETHING AND THE TRUCK IS GOING TO FAIL, CAUSING ME TO GET HIT OR KILLED. I HAVE FOUND FIXES TO THE PROBLEMS INCLUDING A FULL RACE INTERCOOLER, PLUGS AND WIRES, HOWEVER I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO SPEND OVER...

WATER FROM THE CAC WAS INGESTED INTO THE ENGINE CAUSING A MISFIRE. THIS IS THE 8TH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME. I HAVE HAD ALL TSB'S COMPLETED BY FORD AND THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. THE ECOBOOST ENGINES ARE UNSAFE. THIS LOSS OF POWER WHILE MERGING HAS CAUSES ME TO NARROWLY ESCAPE ACCIDENTS 2 OUT OF THE 8 INCIDENTS. I NOTICED THAT THE NHTSA CLOSED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE ECOBOOST ISSUES EARLIER THIS YEAR. I'M SUGGESTING THAT THE NHTSA RE-OPEN THAT INVESTIGATION.

AS I WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, I HAD TO ACCELERATE TO AVOID A SEMI WHO WAS APPROACHING IN THE RIGHT LANE. I HARD ACCELERATED, BUT THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING. I HAD LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND WAS FORCED TO PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND MERGE TO THE BREAK-DOWN LANE TO AVOID BEING RUN COMPLETELY OFF THE HIGHWAY.
