TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND A CLICKING SOUND WAS HEARD IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

ON FIRST OCCURANCE, TRUCK WAS IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY. VEHICLE LOST POWER, GAGES ZEROED OUT AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OVER NAD RESTARTED VEHICLE AND IT RAN FINE AND ENGINE LIGHT CLEARED. MULTIPLE LOSS OF POWER OCCURANCES. DOES NOT THROW A CODE WHEN DIAGNOSTICS ARE RAN. TONIGHT, WHEN MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE, WHILE ACCELERATING, TRUCK LOST ALL ACCELERATION, ALL GAUGES STOPPED WORKING AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. RESTARTED THE TRUCK, GAGES DID NOT START WORKING UNITL TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF A SECOND TIME BUT THE TRUCK WAS DRIVEABLE. ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT CLEAR.

WHILE COMING OFF THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO THE INTERSTATE IN FRONT OF A SEMI I INCREASED MY THROTTLE TO MERGE AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHUTTER AND ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AS SOON AS I PULLED IN FRONT OF THE SEMI. PULLED OVER PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND TURNED TRUCK OFF TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE LIGHT. TRUCK WAS ABLE TO RUN AFTER TURNING TRUCK OFF.

TWO DAYS IN A ROW MY VEHICLE STALLED AFTER VIOLENTLY SHAKING THE STEERING WHEEL, I HAD A COMPLETE POWER LOSS. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAITED TO RESTART THE ENGINE. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART MY VEHICLE. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ONE THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME BACK TO INFORM ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR 26 MILES AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY ISSUES. BACK IN 2013 AN INVESTIGATION WAS STARTED FOR THIS ISSUE. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE CARS COMPUTERS DID NOT THROW A CODE. NOT ONLY DID NOTHING HAPPEN FORD DID NOT MENTION ANY TSB THAT WOULD HELP OR FIX THIS ISSUE, AFTER I ASKED ABOUT ANY TSB...

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE WHEN BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. TRIED BRAKES BUT THEY DID NOT WORK. VERY HARD PEDAL THAT COULD NOT BE PRESSED ON WITHOUT NOISES COMING THE BRAKES. STOPPED VEHICLE WITH EBRAKE AND TOOK TO LOCALE FORD DEALER. DISCOVERED THAT VACUUM PUMP LOCKED UP CAUSING THE EXAUST CAM TO BREAK INTO PCS INSIDE THE MOTOR. HAD TO REPLACE MOTOR DUE TO THE VACUUM PUMP ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING AT BOTH HIGH SPEEDS AND LOW SPEEDS, WE HAVE LOST ACCELERATION ABILITY. A LARGE YELLOW WRENCH APPEARS ON THE SCREEN. WE HAVE TO PULL THE TRUCK OVER BY COASTING TO THE SIDE, PUT THE ROUGH RUNNING TRUCK IN PARK, TURN THE TRUCK OFF, WAIT, AND THEN RESTART THE TRUCK FOR THE ACCELERATION TO WORK AGAIN. WE HAVE HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED 2 X'S IN THE LAST YEAR AND IT CONTINUES TO DO IT INTERMITTENTLY. UNFORTUNATELY THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN NOT RECREATE IT AND IT DOES NOT COME UP WITH A DIAGNOSTIC CODE THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO HELP US WITH THE ISSUE. I CALLED FORD AFTER LOOKING IT UP ONLINE AND SAW THAT THERE ARE MANY OF THE SAME OCCURRENCES HAPPENING WITH OTHERS OUT THERE. THEY STATED THERE IS NOT A RECALL AND BASICALLY I NEEDED TO JUST KEEP TRYING AT THE DEALERSHIP LEVEL. THIS IS...

TRUCK UNEXPECTEDLY STALLS. ERROR CODE IS P2112. THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. I HAVE INSTALLED 3 THROTTLE BODIES DURING OWNERSHIP. COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER DURING DRIVING. ENGINE STUTTERS, CONTINUES TO RUN VERY ROUGHLY, WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE TOWING A RV TRAILER AS WELL AS NORMAL DRIVING. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO EXPERIENCE.

FUSE #27 FOR THE FUEL PUMP IS BURNING UP ON ONE SIDE. ENGINE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. WILL NOT RESTART FOR A WHILE AFTER.

WHILE ACCELERATING TO PASS ENGINE LOST POWER AND BEGAN TO SHUTTER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED SEVERAL TIMES AND FINALLY CLEARED ALL POWER WAS RESTORED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED. THIS CAUSES SAFETY CONCERNS. IT HAD 98,000 MILES ON IT THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO PICK UP SPEED AND STALLED. THE CONTACT HAD TO COAST THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING OVER 50 MPH, AND THE OIL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED AFTER COASTING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER (LEVITTOWN FORD, LLC, 3195 HEMPSTEAD TURNPIKE, LEVITTOWN, NY 11756, (866) 421-1288) WHO REPLACED THE FUSE AND RE-WIRED THE FUSE BOX PER A TSB. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD FOLLOW UP WITH A RESPONSE WITHIN 48 HOURS. THE CONTACT WANTED TO KNOW WHY A TSB HAD BEEN ISSUED AND IF THE DEALER STATED THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE, BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH. IN ADDITION, THE TURBO WARNING ERROR INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUND FORD (101 SW GRADY WAY, RENTON, WA 98057) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT AND TURBO BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE MAINTENANCE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (COCONUT POINT FORD 22400 S. TAMIAMI TRAIL, FL 33928), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 114,000.

TIMING CHAIN RATTLE ON ECOBOOST ENGINE, I BELIEVE FORD ISSUED A BULLETIN ON IT, I FEEL IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALL, MAKES A HORRENDOUS NOISE ON STARTUP EVERYTIME, AND ITS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. THE ENGINE FEELS AS IF IT IS ABOUT TO FALL OUT ON STARTUP ITS THAT LOUD, SHAKES THE WHOLE TRUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. SHORTLY AFTER, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY FOUR MILES LATER. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE D'ORAZIO FORD DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A SWITCH ASSOCIATED WITH THE IGNITION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

NOW THE SECOND TIME IN AND THE TRUCK DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 50K MILES ON IT. TRUCK WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT START AND LEFT MY WIFE AND KIDS STRANDED IN A PARKING LOT WHERE I HAD TO GO GET THEM. IT'S HOT AS HECK IN JUNE/JULY IN TEXAS SO I KNOW IT ISN'T A COLD WEATHER START THING. RESEARCHING ONLINE WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WITH THIS PROBLEM. EVENTUALLY LEAVING IT THERE AND MESSING WITH THE KEY AND IGNITION SWITCH I'M ASSUMING IT STARTED AFTER A FEW HOURS. THE TRUCK WAS NOT OVER HEATED.

STUMBLE/MISFIRE ON ACCELERATION FROM HIGHWAY CRUISE UP HILL CONDITIONS OR HARD ACELARECION EQPED WITH 3.5L ECOBOOST AND ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES . VERY DANGEROUS IN THE HIGHWAY BECOUSE MY THE TRUCK ENGINE STOPS WORKING AND YOU HAVE TO PULLOVER RIGHT AWAY IF YOU LUKY .

HESITATION STUMBLES ERRATIC ACCELERATION. NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN STEPPING ON ACCELERATOR THEN SUDDENLY TAKES OFF.

3.5 ECO-BOOST ENGINE ON TWO OCCASIONS PUT ME IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION BY CAUSING A LOSS OF THROTTLE RESPONSE. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED A "WRENCH ICON" FLASHED WITH A LOSS OF POWER. NO THROTTLE RESPONSE UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED. WHEN THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED I WAS TOWING A TRAILER AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND HAD A DIFFICULT TIME PULLING OUT OF TRAFFIC ONTO THE SHOULDER. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED A TROUBLE CODE OF P2112 WAS SET AND THE CEL CAME ON. THE THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED EACH TIME. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I HAD 23131 MILES AND FORD REPLACED THE PART UNDER WARRANTY, THE SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS AT 45558 MILES AND I HAD TO COVER THE COST FOR REPLACEMENT. WITH THE LOSS OF POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEED THIS COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF...

I EXCELERATED FROM A STOP, SUDDENLY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH AND I STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND ACCELERATION. MY VEHICLE THEN BEGAN TO SHUDDER, I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ITSELF OFF AND THE FULL POWER CAME BACK TO THE TRUCK.

AS I AM DRIVING THE 2013 FORD F-150 RAPTOR 6.2L THE GEARS SEEM TO BE OFF, IF I AM DRIVING ONLY 30MPH THE GEAR IS AT 6. ALSO THE MORE DANGEROUS AND SCARY THING IS THAT IT SHIFTS DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING, I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35MPH AND THE GEAR SEEM TO SHIFT DOWN TO 1 LOCKING MY REAR TIRES AND MAKING ME SKID ALMOST CAUSING THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME TO RUN INTO ME. THE TIRES LOCKED ALMOST AS IF I PUT THE BRAKES ON. I'M GLAD I WAS ONLY GOING 35MPH BUT WHAT IF I'M GOING 80, THIS WOULD BE A MORE DANGEROUS AND SCARY SCENARIO. IT ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I TURNED ON TO A STREET AND AS I STARTED TO ACCELERATE IT DROPPED MY GEAR TO 1, LOCKED MY WHEELS AND ACTED LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO SHIFT OR ACCELERATE , I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF...

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT ROUGHLY 70 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, TRUCK LOST POWER AND STARTED TO COAST. SPEEDOMETER SWEPT TO 0 INDICATED SPEED, TACHOMETER INDICATED ENGINE AT IDLE SPEED, AROUND 1000 RPM, WHILE COASTING FROM 70 MPH SLOWING TO ROUGHLY 40 MPH. VEHICLE REGAINED POWERED DRIVE BRIEFLY THEN AGAIN LOST POWER AND COASTED. AFTER RESUMING COASTING, THE BACK TIRES THEN BREIFLY LOCKED UP, VEHICLE SHUDDERED, THEN RESUMED COASTING. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS VEHICLE BEING DRIVEN IN TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE AND BECAME NEARLY UNCONTROLLABLE. EXPLANATION FROM DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS THAT THE WIRING HARNESS FROM TRANSMISSION TO ECU PASSES THROUGH FIREWALL THROUGH A GROMMET THAT IS KNOWN TO FAIL. THE WIRING CHAFES AND CAUSES A SHORT AND THE TRANSMISSION TO MALFUNCTION. APPARENTLY A TSB IS ISSUED FOR REPAIR AT CUSTOMER'S EXPENSE PER DEALER BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND IT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROVERBIAL TICKING TIMEBOMB FOR...

"TAKATA RECALL" MY FORD F150 TRUCK 2013 WAS PURCHASED IN 2014 BRAND NEW. IN 2017 JANUARY I HAD THE SPARKS PLUGS CHANGED AND NOW AGAIN IN APRIL 2017 MY MECHANIC HAS SAID THAT THE SPARKS PLUG NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. I BELIEVE AND GATHERING FROM WHAT MY MECHANICS IS SAYING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE COIL? WHICH IS WHY THE SPARKS PLUG IN BLACK FOR THE SECOND TIME. THIS ALL STARTED FROM A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES THE TRIED FLUSHING THE BREAKS AND SAME THING THAN THEY LOOKED INTO THE ENGINE AND CHANGED THE SPARKS PLUG (JAN) NOW IN APRIL SAME ISSUE. NEED HELP THIS IS COSTING ME MONEY.

THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 65 MPH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY SHIFTS INTO FIRST GEAR ALL LIGHTS ON REAR END SQUELLING, COMPLETELY NO CONTROL OVER VEHICLE, DANGEROUS, DANGEROUS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED MORE THAN TWICE AND THE WRENCH ICON WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN BEFORE IT WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM WAS NOT CLOSED AND WAS FAULTY INTERNALLY. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED SERVICE CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13N03 TO ADDRESS THE REPAIR THAT WAS SPECIFIC TO CERTAIN MODELS. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED NO SOLUTION. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD UNDER HIGH WAY SPEEDS AND SOMETHING INTERNAL IN THE ENGINE LET GO. MOTOR LOCKED UP ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET REAR ENDED. FORD DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS NOT UNCOMMON FOR IT TO HAPPEN. HAVE ABOUT 85K MILES ON THE TRUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER ONE ATTEMPT, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RUBBER BOOT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE FLASHED SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC, DOWN HILL DESCENT CONTROL FAULT, TRAILER BRAKE MODULE FAIL AND A COUPLE MORE CODES. ALL ELECTONICS IN VEHICLE WENT BLANK, INCLUDING ALL CONTROLS/GAUGES. BEFORE DOING SO, LAST CODE READ, SHIFT TO PARK. ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT, BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND NEARLY PULLED ME INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE ACCELERATION IS BAD TOO, FEELS LIKE IT IS NOT FIRING ALL CYLINDERS AGAIN. HAVE ALREADY TAKEN IN FOR A NUMBER OF ISSUES, INCLUDING CRANKSHAFT SENSOR ISSUES(WAS LOSING POWER TO DRIVELINE); BRAKES LOCKING UP (HAVE REPLACED THE ROTORS AND PADS SIX TIMES AND LAST TIME I REPLACED BOTH CALIBERS AS WELL; POWER STEERING HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE BEFORE, FRONT AXLES AND BEARINGS REPLACED. AS WELL AS, AC PROBLEMS. WHEN THE FIRST ISSUES AROSE, I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE TECH AT DEALERSHIP I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE, (LATER...

LOSS OF POWER WHEN I ACCELERATE. I FEARED FOR MY LIFE, WHEN I WAS MERGING ON TO THE HIGHWAY AND A SEMI-TRAILER ALMOST REAR ENDED ME BECAUSE I COULD NOT ACCELERATE TO GET UP TO THE SPEED LIMIT.

DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS, MY TRUCK LOSES POWER AND GOES INTO "LIMP MODE" AND THE WRENCH ICON APPEARS ON MY DASH. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 150 MILES OF DRIVING. THIS COULD BE DEADLY TO ME AND MY FAMILY!!! IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIME PREVIOUSLY AS WELL. SOMETIMES AT 55 MPH, SOMETIMES AT 40 MPH. FROM MY RESEARCH, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO FORD AND I DON'T WANT TO BE VICTIM DUE TO THIS CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I AM NOW SCARED FOR MY SAFETY DRIVING THIS TRUCK!!!

HAD THE ENGINE STUDDED AND DROP A CYLINDER,THIS IS AN ECOBOOST MOTOR,THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH WHILE RUNNING ROUGH.IT HAPPENED AS I WAS PASSING A TRACTOR TRAILER ON THE HIGHWAY,AS I GOT AROUND HIM ANOTHER TRAILER WAS COMING ON BEHIND ME,THIS IS WHEN IT DROPPED A CYLINDER,THE TRAILER ALMOST RAN OVER ME.THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK I FOUND OUT ONCE I DID SOME RESEARCH,FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED.I CALLED THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED,AS FAR AS THE STUDDED AND HE SAID BAD GAS KEEP DRIVING IT(59,500 MLS). IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT 61,381,TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY DID A TSB 14-0017 REPROGRAM,THIS WORKED FOR ABOUT A WEEK THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN,TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 61850MLS,THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO DO IT,I PICKED IT UP AND 20 MILES LATER IT DID IT AGAIN,I GOT IT ON VIDEO...

EXTREME LOSS OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING, AND VIOLENT ENGINE VIBRATIONS DURING THE PROCESS, LASTING FOR ABOUT ONE MINUTE AND THEN EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO NORMAL OPERATIONS. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS GIVEN THE SITUATION.

I EXPERIENCED A CONDITION NOTED IN FORD TSB: ASI-32166 "SOME VEHICLES, WITH TURBOCHARED GASOLINE DIRECT INJECTION ENGINES, WILL EXHIBIT FLASHING MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP, AN INTERMITTENT STUMBLE AND/OR MISFIRE DURING HARD ACCELERATION DURING EXTREME HUMID OR DAMP CONDITIONS." WHILE DRIVING AT A RELATIVELY STEADY 55-60 MPH (ON A RAINY AFTERNOON), I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR DOWN IN AN EFFORT TO OVERTAKE A VEHICLE. IMMEDIATELY, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING, THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHIMMY, AND I STARTED TO LOSE POWER. UNABLE TO ACCELERATE ANY MORE, I PROMPTLY EXITED THE INTERSTATE, PARKED, SHUT OFF MY VEHICLE IN AN EFFORT TO ALLOW IT TO "RESET". WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE TRUCK RAN FINE. I WAS (THANKFULLY) UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE SCENARIO ON THE REMAINDER OF MY DRIVE HOME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST ENGINE POWER. THE CONTACT NOTICED EXCESSIVE SMOKE UNDER THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT NOTICED A FRAGMENT OF A FRACTURED PISTON ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,811.

SINCE NEW IF TRAVELING HIGHWAY SPEED OF 70 AND I ACCELERATE TO PASS THE ENGINE STALLS WHILE IN THE PASSING MODE AND THERE IS NO POWER RESULTING IN UN ABLE TO PASS AND ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES DURING THIS HAPPENING. NOT SAFE TO PASS AT HIGH HIGHWAY SPEEDS . AT 27000 THIS IS STILL HAPPENING.

WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH I ACCELERATED TO PASS AND SUDDENLY THE ENGINE BOGGED DOWN AND BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN ALONG WITH ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING. *TR

3.5 V6 ECOBOOST FIRE. COMPLETELY BURNED MY TRUCK TO THE GROUND WITH MY FAMILY DRIVING IN, WIFE AND 5 YR OLD. PASSENGER SUFFERED 3RD DEGREE BURNS, 12/10/2016. TRUCK WAS IN MOTION, WE SMELT SMOKE AND WITHIN 2 MINUTES THE TRUCK WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND ATTEMPTING TO PASS A VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON THREE OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AFTER EACH FAILURE, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT PLACED A SHIELD ON TOP OF THE TURBO COOLER TO PREVENT WATER FROM ENTERING, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000. ...UPDATED 01/23/17 *BF UPDATED 7/16/18*JB *TR

COOLING SYSTEM CONNECTIONS. FORD HAS PUT IN CLIPS ON HOSES THAT CONNECT TO OVERFLOW FOR COOLING SYSTEM AND ON A Y-CONNECTOR AT FRONT OF MOTOR THAT NOT ONLY LEAK ALL THE TIME BUT CAN JUST POP OFF AND CAUSE THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO KEEP BUCKETS UNDER MY TRUCK TO CATCH FLUID. FORD WANT AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY TO FIX AND BASED ON WHAT I HAVE READ IN FORUMS THE FIX MAY ONLY LAST A WEEK AND START LEAKING AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ON THE 5.0V-8 ECONOBOOST.. HERE IS A VIDEO I TOOK HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=DN4OWB5DXX4

FORD V6 ECO-BOOST ENGINE TURBO TEMP AND PRESSURE SENSOR FAILED WHICH CAN RESULT IN THE TURBO OVERHEATING AND POSSIBLE ENGINE FIRE.

DRIVING ON A CITY STREET THE TRUCK STARTED SHAKING AND LOSS ALL ACCELERATION, IT SHOWED A WRENCH ON THE DASH SCREEN, COASTED TO A SAFE PLACE AND TURNED TRUCK OFF. IT RESTARTED FINE. APPROX 30 MINS LATER ON THE HIGHWAY IT DID THE SAME THING, STARTED SHAKING, NO ACCELERATION AND THE WRENCH SHOWED UP. AGAIN COASTED TO A SAFE SPOT AND RESTARTED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG, BUT THAT IT COULD BE THE ETB BUT WITH OUT A CODE SHOWING THEY CANT DO ANYTHING.

WHILE DRIVING ALONG, LOST POWER AND MOTOR VIBRATED. LIGHT WITH WRENCH CAME ON. VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN. PULLED ON SIDE OF THE ROAD. MOTOR KEPT RUNNING ERRATICALLY. ENGINE SURGED TO A HIGHER SPEED BY ITSELF. PROBLEM CLEARED BY ITSELF. WENT TO AUTOZONE AND HAD ERROR CODE READ. IT SAID THAT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF IN GEAR AND ENGINE SURGED OR IF FAILURE OCCURRED ON A FREEWAY.

MULTIPLE TIMES NOW, MY TRUCK WILL DOWNSHIFT AND SEND THE RPMS OVER 4500 THIS CAUSES THE ENGINE TO MISFIRE, THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL BLINK AND THE TRUCK WILL STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN ITS SPEED AND ANY ACCELERATION IS EXTREMELY DIMINISHED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I FREQUENTLY DRIVE ON RURAL 2-LANE(ONE IN EACH DIRECTION) HIGHWAYS AND FIND THIS PROBLEM SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTS MY ABILITY TO SAFELY PASS SLOWER VEHICLES. IT HAS FAILED TO ACCELERATE ENOUGH TIMES THAT I CANNOT DEPEND ON THE TRUCK TO ACCELERATE WHEN I MOVE INTO ONCOMING LANES OF TRAFFIC. AT 30,000 MILES THE ENGINE DEVELOPED AN OIL LEAK. WITHIN A MONTH OF HAVING THE LEAK REPAIRED AT THE DEALER, THE ENGINE EXPERIENCED A MAJOR MISFIRE EVENT CAUSING THE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED THAT TWO IGNITION COILS WENT BAD AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. THIS CAUSED DAMAGE TO...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL, A SQUEAKING NOISE WAS PRESENT FROM ALL FOUR WHEELS. THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND VIBRATED. THE VEHICLE ALSO SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND APPEARED TO STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STALLING WAS DUE TO A FAULTY BRAKE BOOSTER. THE DEALER CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS, BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,667.

IF YOU HAVE AN ECOBOOST V6. I HAVE NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES WHEN YOU HAVE TO ACCELERATE VERY QUICKLY THE VEHICLE TAKES UP TO 5 SECONDS TO RESPOND AND GIVE YOU ANY POWER. I ASSUME THAT THE COMPUTER IS SPINNING UP THE TWIN TURBOS BUT THOSE CRITICAL SECONDS CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE ON A FEW OCCASIONS ALMOST GOT RAN OVER BECAUSE THE TRUCK DECIDED TO TAKE ITS TIME GIVING ME POWER TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. ITS LIKE FOR THOSE FEW SECONDS YOU HAVE NO POWER.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN RAINY CONDITIONS, WENT TO ACCELERATE AND THE TRUCK ENGINE HESITATED THEN SHUTTERED AND NEARLY SHUT DOWN. THE CHECK ENGINE ILLUMINATED AND THIS CONTINUED FOR APPROXIMATELY A MINUTE. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON FOUR DIFFERENT SITUATIONS ALL AT 70-80 MPH WHILE TRYING TO PASS. IN ONE SITUATION, IT NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. ALSO HAVING THE TICKING AND SEVERE KNOCKING DURING ENGINE START FIRST TIME IN THE MORNING OR AFTER COLD SOAKING. FORD HAS REFUSED TO FIX THE ISSUES ON THEIR OWN BECAUSE THE TRUCK HAS 63,000 MILES.

I BOUGHT MY TRUCK NEW FROM THE DEALER 2013. I'M CONSISTENT WITH ALL THE UP KEEPS OF MY TRUCK. HOWEVER, MID AUGUST 2016, I NOTICED THE TRUCK HESITATED TO START AT THE BEGINNING WHILE IN STATIONARY POSITION FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN OUT OF NOWHERE FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT, THE ENGINE DIDN'T START IN THE MORNING AGAIN WHILE IN STATIONARY POSITION AND THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP! I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY THINKING THAT MAYBE IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, EVEN WITH THE NEW BATTERY THE TRUCK FAILED TO START IN STATIONARY. AFTER THAT, I TRIED STARTING MY TRUCK FOR TWO CONSECUTIVE DAYS, BY THE THIRD DAY THE TRUCK STARTED! I DROVE IT IMMEDIATELY TO AUTOZONE BUT NOTHING CAME UP WRONG WITH IT? SO, I DROVE IT BACK HOME. A WEEK LATER, I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE TRUCK, LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPEN. THEN, YESTERDAY ALL OF...
