2016 FORD F-150 Engine Problems

My 2016 Ford F-150 will periodically stall. The stall could occur while stopped (at a light or to make turn), while in park and only idling, or when the vehicle was in motion at less than 25 mph. If it stalled while starting a turn, then there was a serious risk of major collision from oncoming traffic. If the oncoming vehicle did not recognized the vehicle was stalling, or had otherwise failed to properly evaluate the situation early enough then a collision would be likely. A scan of multiple Internet web sites found thousands of people, with similar model years and the same engine, 5.0L Coyote, having the same or similar issue.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact shifted to park(P) and restarted the vehicle and the vehicle regained normal operation. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed that bank #2 Variable Camshaft Tuning (VCT) solenoids needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure recurred approximately 10-12 times and became more frequent. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

Parts distribution disconnect.

With regard to your inquiry into ford bronco engine failures IT IS NOT A ISOLATED PROBLEM ! My 2016 has the same engine. At 3000 miles it almost shook off my truck while driving. Ford had to replace entire engine At 30,000 mile mark engine failed again and ford had to replace half the engine These engines are dangerous junk

I was driving vehicle to work. Going approximately 70 mph, the truck suddenly lost the ability to accelerate and starts running very rough, like it lost a cylinder. Then the collision warning comes on the dash and advanced trac icon and then the manual icon with the wrench that says check manual. I coast down the hill from the far left lane to the slow lane and take the first exit off the freeway and pull to the side of road. Shut the vehicle off, wait 30 seconds, try again starts right up and acts like no problem. Happened three times since. Same thing every time

The contact owns a 2016 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH and towing a 5th wheel trailer, the vehicle lost motive power. The hill descent warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to pull over off the highway safely. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.

The engine has suddenly started to shake badly and shut off at stops. I’ve had it looked at by ford and they found no issues. I’ve asked around and this is very common. Please help

Both exhaust manifolds are warped and snapped the rear studs off. Occasionally lose power when pushing the accelerator. It has been going for awhile now. I didn’t know what it was until I saw other people were having the same problems.

1st incident - Sudden loss of power when accelerating onto the highway, had to make emergency maneuver into brake down lane. No warning lamps until issue occurred, than every warning light came on! 2nd incident - Sudden loss of power when going to pass a car, once again had to make emergency maneuver and ended up cutting car off I was passing. No warning lamps until issue occurred, than every warning light came on!

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? ENGINE/OIL LEAK How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? IF THE OIL LEAKS OUT ENOUGH WHILE DRIVING THE MOTOR WILL CEASE UP, AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? YES Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? YES Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? NO, IT APPEARED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A BAD OIL CHANGE, BUT IT HAS ACCURED 2 MORE OIL CHANGES SINCE.

The exhaust manifold warps causing a leak in the manifold in the 3.5 Ecoboost engines. After research, it is a common problem with many Ford owners. This problem causes an emission leak, power loss, and distinct noise. I have not had this confirmed by a dealer as of yet, but it is a very common problem. My truck started having this problem around 45,000 miles. No warning lights or messages have been displayed.

Truck engine is stalling out while driving and coming to a stop. The engine turns off, but all electrical power remains. This has occurred six times in a two month period with the first occurrence happening on February 1, 2022. An engine stalling out while the truck is on the road way is a dangerous situation whether stopped at a red light or while in motion, but especially so if it were to occur while driving at high speeds on a highway. There were no warning messages or indication lights prior or subsequent to the occurrences. The truck was brought to the local Ford dealership on February 28, 2022. The service department at the dealership was unable to diagnose the issue because the computer did not provide them with a diagnosis. The truck is being brought back to the dealership for a second evaluation on March 6, 2022.

The cam phasers fail intermittently causing shuttering/stalling randomly while driving. A large amount of people have had this same issue. Truck will intermittently rev up while in gear. If you're not on the brake, you will move forward/backward. Tons of check engine lights etc

My wife and I were traveling to our home in the truck. When preparing to turn left off the main road, I noticed that the turn signals were not working, requiring me to go to the right off the side of the road, as there was heavy traffic behind us. While on the side of the road, I tried the windshield wipers, window sprayer, and turn signals. None were working. I turned the engine off and then restarted the truck, and limped home. After getting home, the truck was parked while looking for a mechanic to fix whatever was wrong with it. It was recommended to me that the "Wiper Multi-switch" be replaced. This did not eliminate the problem. I then arranged for the Ford Dealer, Woody Anderson Ford, to take the truck in and fix it. The Dealer says the truck has had a major electrical failure and doubts...

3.5L Ecoboost - Warped/broken exhaust manifold studs that is due to extreme heat produced by the twin turbos. There's no warning lights and by the time some symptoms starts developing, studs are probably broken or warped which causes a leakage prevents the manifold from properly dissipating the heat/exhaust which can possibly cause additional heat to be repelled back to the engine. Early signs could be a minor to moderate chirping sound that might radiate somewhere around the driver or front passenger lower console when accelerating while driving.

My local ford dealer found during a service request that the Driver’s side exhaust manifold has warped and broken studs for the manifold, causing an exhaust leak that poses a potential safety issue from gases leaking into the passenger cabin and creating a considerable amount of noise, as well as some performance loss.

Engine block exploded with less than 100,000 miles while moving forward after a stop sign, dropped all water through a side of an engine, lost power unable to move from road blocking traffic. Once token into a shop, melted metal was found on the engine cover, and a big hole was found on the engine head. A lot of engine smoke (CO2) was released and got into the cabin getting me sick and feeling dizzy for a whole week

While the engine is idling, whether in park, drive, or reverse the engine intermittently loses RPM and shuts off. The dealer claims they can not duplicate the issue. No messages appear other then the car is on battery power. This has been going on for about the last 20000 miles.

Several recalls on the same make and model as mine. Why is my truck not covered under recall. These issue should not happen to a vehicle 5 years old with less the. 85k miles and all work has been completed at lithos ford of boise where I purchased it.

After driving at highway speed for approx 1 hour, came to stop at red light. Vehicle idles rough, dropping to 250-300 rpm, then stalled in traffic, requiring restart. Third time this issue has occurred, all at stop signs or red lights.

Saw a small puddle under passenger side engine, had the work mechanic look at it and he said the turbo cooling line was leaking. Car has only 45,000 miles on it. Took car to own mechanic and he verified leak, we decided to replace other side on left side of engine as there a bit of weeping, while they were replacing the parts, he noticed my water pump was leaking and I told him to replace it as we don't need any issues. After all work was performed, the bill was close to $2, 700. The mechanic said with the low mileage on the truck, it was way too soon for any of these parts to fail.

Exhaust manifold faulty at 80,000 miles.. Engine broke at 99,000

This seems to be a known issue with the f-150 engines. I am having issues with the engine making noises and appears to be caused by a warped engine exhaust manifold. Ford has released a safety bulletin on this, but has not issued a recall even from the amount of people that are experiencing this issue.

Truck has an oil pan leak which FORD will not repair, but requires me to pay for the oil leak. It was a manufacturing defect and believe in time this could cause a fire down the road if it's not fixed.

Driving down Interstate 80 at 70mph and Track Assist error, then Hill Start Assist Unavailable Error, Wrench light (see manual), engine light. I depress the gas pedal and there is no response, the engine rpm does not increase. I have to pull off to the side of the interstate, towing a boat, luckily not in construction zone ahead with concrete barriers on both sides. Turn off and restart, the engine / rpm still do not respond. Turned off for 5 minutes while I make a call. Turn on again and rough idle but the engine responds and I am able to drive the remaining 15 miles to home. Exact thing happened again 4 days later on 2 lane, hilly, country highway without a shoulder. I stopped in the road, hazards on, turned off/on again, didn't respond to gas. Wait 5 minutes turned on again and was able to get to...

FORD HAS ISSUED A RECALL BACK IN 2019 FOR FAULTY OIL PANS. MY 2016 FORD F-150 HAS HAD 4 OIL PAN REPLACEMENTS AND IS NEEDING A 5TH. WHEN RUNNING A CARFAX, THE DEALERSHIP THAT HAS COMPLETED THE REPAIRS IS NOT REPORTING ANY OF THESE ISSUES. JACKSON FORD IN DECATUR, IL. THE ATTACHED PHOTO IS FROM THE TRUCK SITTING FOR 24 HOURS. WHEN I LOGGED ONTO THE NHTSA WEBSITE TO SEE IF MAYBE I COULD GET ANOTHER RECALL REPAIR AT A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP, NO ACTIVE RECALLS ARE OUT.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE IDLE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE CONTACT SHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SAYVILLE FORD (5686 SUNRISE HWY, SAYVILLE, NY 11782; (855) 561-1191) AND REPAIRS WERE MADE ON THE ENGINE 8 TIMES WITHIN A MONTH HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE THE TIMING IS OFF. HESITATES AS YOU ROLL AT 50 OR 60MPH. THEN WHEN YOU EXIT FREEWAY AND ARE STOPPED AT LIGHT THE IDLE BECOMES ROUGH AND DROPS BELOW 500RPM. SEVERAL TIMES THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING WHILE WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. THE PREVIOUS OWNER NOTICED IT AS WELL AND SHE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET CHECKED. DEALER SAID THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND NO ERROR CODE SO CAN'T FIX IT. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER FORD DEALER AFTER PURCHASE AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM WHAT TO LOOK FOR. FORD F150 OWNERS BOARD HAS LIST OF MANY PEOPLE WITH SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2014-2016 ERA TRUCKS. FIXES FROM THEIR POST SHOW REPLACEMENT OF 2 NEW CAM PHASERS AND NEW VCT SOLENOIDS REPAIRS THE ISSUE. VCT HAD LOCKED UP...

MY 2016 FORD F150 RECENTLY STARTED WHISTLING AT THE 2500RPM POINT FROM THE FRONT END OF THE MY TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP EXPECTING A VACUUM HOSE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS HAD WARPED AND BROKE OFF SOME OF THE MOUNTING BOLTS. I WAS A BIT SHOCKED SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS 102,000 MILES ON IT AND IT'S NOT BEEN ABUSED IN ANYWAY. UNFORTUNATELY, THE FACTORY WARRANTY RUNS OUT AT 100,000 MILES AND ON THE HOOK FOR THE COST OF THIS $1600+ (SO FAR) REPAIR. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET IT DID NOT TAKE ME LONG TO DISCOVER THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE. THERE WERE A MULTITUDE OF WEBSITES AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS ADDRESSING THIS KNOWN PROBLEM WITH FOLKS QUITE UPSET THAT AN OFFICIAL RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED YET WITH A PROPER FIX/REPLACEMENT AND REIMBURSE THE OWNERS...

THE ENGINE HAD BEEN DYING AT STOP SIGNS, RED LIGHTS, AND IN PARKING LOTS UP TO THIS POINT (IN DRIVE OR PARK) BUT ENDED UP STALLING EIGHT OR NINE TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE COMING THROUGH ATLANTA RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THIS ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS WORKED TO REPAIR THE ISSUE TWICE SO FAR. I HAVE MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY PLAN TO REPLACE THE VCT SOLENOIDS NEXT. FORD SHOULD ADMIT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND INITIATE A RECALL TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE ON ALL THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

I WAS RECENTLY PULLING A TRAVEL TRAILER DOWN A MOUNTAIN PASS WITH MY 2016 F150 WITH THE 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE LOSING POWER TO THE MOTOR, THE TRAVEL TRAILER STARTED 'FISH TAILING'!! THE 2 VEHICLES BEHIND ME LOCKED UP THEIR BRAKES (COULD VISIBLY SEE SMOKE), THE THIRD VEHICLE WAS SLOWER TO REACT AND PULLED OUT AND PASSED ALL 3 OF US NARROWLY AVOIDING A HEAD ON COLLISION! I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE SERVICE SHOP AND IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT WAS REPLACED....FOR THE 4TH TIME IN 94,000 MILES!!! THE PREVIOUS 2 TIMES THIS HAPPENED TO ME THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED (VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE), BUT THOSE TIMES I WAS DRIVING 75MPH DOWN A 5 LANE FREEWAY AND HAD TO CROSSOVER 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER TO MY ENGINE! VEHICLES SWERVING EVERYWHERE, PEOPLE LOCKING UP THEIR BRAKES....MINOR...

ON 9/6/2020, WHILE DRIVING APPROX 60MPH ON HWY 128 BETWEEN JAL AND CARLSBAD NM, THE BRAKE PEDAL ON MY 2016 FORD F150 LARIAT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NO BRAKES. A MESSAGE ON MY DASH CAME UP SAYING TO ADD BRAKE FLUID AND I DID. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP, CARSLBAD FORD LINCOLN. THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER HAD A RECALL AND WAS REPLACED, BUT THE BRAKE FLUID THAT LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE WAS NEVER ADDRESSED BY THE SERVICE AND REPAIR CENTER. AS A RESULT, I NOW HAVE OVER $6,000 WORTH OF COLLATERAL DAMAGE TO MY ENGINE THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO FIX BECAUSE I'M BEING BLAMED FOR THE DAMAGES FOR ADDING BRAKE FLUID TO THE RESEVOIR. IT'S BEYOND OBVIOUS THAT THE ONLY WAY ANY BRAKE FLUID LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE WAS DUE TO THE DAMAGED MANUFACTURER PART(S), THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BOOSTER,...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30-40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC RETRIEVED FAULT CODE: P0012 (INTAKE (A) CAMSHAFT POSITION TIMING -OVER- RETARDED (BANK 1). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED OR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING BOTH FROM A STOP AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I SHUT OFF VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT WHICH SEEMED TO TEMPORARILY SOLVE THE PROBLEM ONLY TO HAVE IT REOCCUR DAYS LATER. ENGINE CODE REGISTERED ON THE DASH DISPLAY. CODE WAS RETRIEVED (P2112) WHICH CORRELATES TO A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. FORD HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS PROBLEM WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY REPLACEMENT, BUT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY, SO I WAS FORCED TO REPLACE IT MYSELF AND PAY FOR THE FAULTY PART. MY VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 36,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT. WHEN THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER IN TRAFFIC, IT IS DEFINITELY A LIFE, HEALTH, SAFETY ISSUE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS EXAMPLES THAT CAN BE FOUND ON THE INTERNET OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART/THROTTLE BODY ON VARIOUS FORD VEHICLES. I FEEL THAT FORD SHOULD INITIATE A RECALL FOR OBVIOUS SAFETY REASONS. FORD HAS PUT...

AFTER DRIVING 30+ MIN WHEN BRINGING VEHICLE TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT OR PARKED, TRUCK ISLES DOWN TO 500RMP AND ROUGH IDEAL AND CHOKES LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL. THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY TO THIS. HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR 1.5 YEARS. HAVE BEEN OBSERVING FUEL LEVELS, AMBIENT TEMPERATURE, ENGINE TEMP AND THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY TO IT. THERE IS NEVER A CHECK ENGINE LIKE THAT COMES ON AND DEALER HAS DONE A HISTORY SEARCH AND THERE ARE NO CODES. MECHANICS ARE SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS. NO RECALLS, NO SERVICE ADVISORIES. DON'T WANT TO START TOSSING RANDOM PARTS INTO IT.
