2016 FORD F-150 Fuelpropulsion System Problems

Both turbos, spark plugs, catalytic converters, O2 sensors. If turbos blow up while drive it will shoot vanes in the motor. Yes JD automotive replaced all the above mentioned parts. will include copy of the invoice, not the only ford owner that has had issues out of the ford twin turbos failing. not sure if dealer inspected turbos, but they replaced the spark plugs 3x in less then 3 months (lemon) and the throttle bottle. Didnt share this information with me when vehicle was purchased. Issue started with a P0430 codes which falsely say its a cat code. I used cataclean due to the low miles and would still get code every once in while. less the 2 years from purchasing it used had both turbos fail. not sure if it was a mis diagnosis from mclarty daniel in Bentonville Arkansas or if ford knowing made motors with bad turbos.

I was driving my 2016 Ford f150 in Ventura California on August 29th 2025 when my throttle began to accelerate on its own after taking my foot off the gas pedal. My truck sped up out of control, I almost lost control of the vehicle and crashed. Luckily I was able to gain control and get it into neutral and then into park. My trucks rpms raced so high it sounded as if the engine was going to explode. I put it into park and the rpms lowered to a normal level. While this was all happening a wrench icon popped up on my dash. Once the wrench icon came on I noticed my dash wasn’t telling me what gear I was in or if I was in park, neutral or drive. I pulled into the closest parking lot. I put it in park and every time I gave the...

My F150 engine stalls while driving when I am at a1/4 tank or less in hot or cold weather in stop and go traffic, at a stop sign or red traffic signal. I am able to restart the engine after placing the transmission in neutral or park. I have reported this issue to my ford dealer, but they say there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. There is currently a recall (#25S75) for this issue in later model F150s, but my vehicle is not covered. The Ford hotline instructed me to report this issue to NHTSA.

I was going to pass someone and as I was speeding up the check engine light came on. I pulled over and there was nothing wrong with the truck. Months later there was a warning that came up on the dash it said something about shifting and i was to park the truck. I took it to a transmission shop, come to find out that the shifting sensor had went out. They cleared the check engine light and it came back on. Ran a diagnostic on it and it said there was like 8 different things that needs to be fixed. There was Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold, Air Distribution Damper Position Sensor- Circuit Short to Ground or Open, Bank 1 Air/Fuel Ration Imbalance, Sensor Circuit, Internal Control Module Torque Performance, Heater Control Circuit (Bank 1, Sensor 1). When I am at a certain speed the truck will vibrate (feels...

While driving, the vehicle has been going into limp mode at varying speeds on the roadway or while pulling onto the road. The problem lies within the components of the electric throttle body. The system malfunctions and locks the throttle body closed, thus putting the truck into limp mode. Shutting the vehicle off, waiting, and restarting temporarily resolves this issue UNTIL the PCM detects a fault in the electrical components of the throttle body and sends the truck into limp mode. When this happens, it also triggers a warning message regarding hill start assist. This is an extreme safety issue as pulling onto the roadway or loosing power in traffic and not being able to pull off can lead to collisions especially around blind curves or in heavy traffic. There also isn’t always a location to safely pull off the roadway, potentially leaving the vehicle and its operator in the...

2016 f150 3.5L eco boost V-6 was purchased recently from used dealership. Upon taking possession the vehicle would shut down while driving. I would need to get to the shoulder of road, put truck in park, turn off vehicle and then restart. It’s happened 20 times in last 30 days. I’ve taken to dealership 5x and they are unable to resolve, diagnose or offer any help. Online, many other owners have noted same issue. Doing 65 on fwy and truck suddenly dies is big deal! Ford does nothing. Error message on dash says something about stability track. When restarting engine, it turns over many times as if flooded but then starts.

Unknown, I was pulling into a parking spot, at Sam's Club, and lightly tap the gas petal for the turn and the truck lunched forward in the one carlink, and hit a concrete parking pole (Sam's club in Southgate Michigan has security cameras) it warped around the pole and bent the frame as if though it was 90 mph and a telephone pole.. I had taken it in twice under warranty for the gas pedal not working correctly, the warranty company would not allow a 3rd repair nor did Ford dealership take that warranty company. The airbags did not deploy, and I now have a T4 fractured vertebrae.

I was getting married and setting to go a getaway immediately after we wed. I got a tune up and go my vehicle read. After the tune up it the drive felt great. So me and my wife took to the highway, and as my vehicle began to accelerate the engine began jitter as I press on the gas peddle. The car would not go past 50 mph. As I kept my feet on the gas you can feel the whole car shaking, then the eco boost kicks in and it immediately accelerate at a high rate of speed and as attempt to control the speed by letting go of the gas. The vehicle shakes as it looses power and settles on 50 to 60 miles shaking until the eco boost kicks in. It was a two hour ride and I couldn't look back just pray. Through out the ride...

The transmission 6R80 is absolutely horrible, a part called the lead frame is all over youtube on how to fix it at home. the transmission causes slam shifts, missed shifts, or nothing at all. 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th, and 4th to 5th. When slowing down again hard shifts back down again. local mechanics say they don't want to change transmission fluid as it could do more harm then good. I called my local ford dealership and was offered to bring it in where the test would show either a transmission fix or a full replacement which is absolutely crazy to me, Ford should be held liable for these mistakes because it should be fixed with a piece of Styrofoam over the sensors, and then transmission fluid changed. But ford knows for all of that and all of the 6R80 transmissions they've put out is an astronomical number. This...

Iba conduciendo en carretera abierta y el carro se trancó feo estuve a punto de salirme de la carretera , el motor falló y bajo la potencia de manera desmedida, y derrapó , logré controlar el carro pero ahora el carro presenta códigos y fallos en la potencia , tiembla y estoy pagándolo y no me sirve , está parado ocupo ayuda para devolverlo

My Engin light went on code was P0304 cylinder 4 misfire.I recently replaced #4 ignition coil. Using power balance test, confirmed cylinder #4 is misfiring but only on idle. Per TSB 19-2310 , suspect #4 direct fuel injector of leaking. The dealership will not help back up this problem. Need all 6 fuel injectors replaced to make my truck SAFE to drive.my truck has the 2.7L v 6 eco boost engine. A lot of these engines have this problem, Ford as of now does not have a recall but should. This problem needs fixed before someone gets hurt. This could cause a fire.

I have a 2016 Ford F-150 with the 3.5 Ecoboost engine with 92,019 miles. This morning (9/11/2024) as I headed to work, I pulled out to cross highway 54 and the truck suddenly lost power. It would only idle. As I tried pushing harder on the gas pedal, it would not come out of an idle and I barely made it to the center divide with multiple vehicles headed right at my drivers side going 65 - 70 mph. The check engine came on and stayed on. The truck was shaking and vibrating tremendously. I could not leave the truck there as it was blocking traffic in both directions. I was able to back up and cross back over the highway and pulled to the shoulder. I turned the truck off and started to make a call for AAA when I received a notification from my Bouncie. It threw a...

It over 2 years ago my truck was stalling out on me while driving and they replaced the vehicle throttle body. The same thing jsut happened last week and I again had to replace the same part. There is a recall for this part on f150s but not my year. It seems unreasonable to have to pay for the same new part in just over 2 years. I was told I should clean it every 15k now which also seems unreasonable and a cost to me.

Truck idles rough and stalls at idle. Truck must be placed in park, restarted, and then placed in drive. This creates a very dangerous situation in start and stop traffic, starting and stopping at intersections, etc. I’m worried about the truck staling instead of paying attention to the surroundings. Based on my searches this is a very common problem that must be fixed before people are injured or possibly killed.

My truck keeps going into a limp mode where there is zero power even when pressing gas pedal. While in limp mode, engine won't rev up at all. In addition, the vehicle begins to show errors such as "Service AdvancetTrac", "Collision Warning not available", "Hill Start Assist nit available". From the research I have done, this appears to be a well-known throttle body issue documented by Ford. The question is why hasn't there been a recall. This is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS as the truck essentially becomes powerless on the road. Please advise.

Vehicle stalls out at an idle. Several forum postings on Ford forums that owners of 2015 to 2017 F150 5.0 truck have had the same issues. Several users have said ford has replaced the VVT solenoid, and the issue has been resolved.

While driving my 2016 F-150 in heavy traffic, the vehicle suddenly loses all forward power as if the transmission were in neutral. The engine is running and the tachometer indicates the RPM's are approximately 1,200, but it will not respond to pushing the gas pedal. The RPM's remain the same, regardless of how hard the pedal is pushed. Shifting the transmission to other forward gears does nothing, it still acts as though it is in neutral. A wrench symbol appears on the main screen, as well as a message that says "Hill Start Not Available". The *ONLY* way to fix the problem is to bring the vehicle to a complete stop, turn it off, wait a few seconds, and then start it again. It starts very roughly at first. After one or two attempts at this, the engine will reengage with the transmission and respond properly. It then drives normally...

Engine Stalls (at low RPMs) mostly when stopping at traffic lights, not as bad if Im able to put in Park (it will still idle rough. but, not as likely to completely stall). I have noticed This is more likely after driving at higher speeds (70mph - 85mph) for prolonged periods of time (1hr - 6hrs). I bought the truck 4yrs ago, with 78k on it.

2016 FORD F150 WITH 55,000 MILES.STARTED DRIVING VEHICLE, ENGINE RPM DROPPED, ENGINE MISSING AND SHAKING. NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. VEHICLE JUST IDLED HORRIBLY. DASH HAD LARGE WRENCH SYMBOL AND AN "ACCUTRAC SERVICE NEEDED" WARNING. i TURNED OFF IGNITION, RESTARTED VEHICLE. SAME RESULTS. I DID THIS 4-5 MORE TIMES. LAST TIME VEHICLE IDLED OKAY AND ACCELERATED. DROVE THE VEHICLE 60 MILES HOME WITH NO THER ISSUES. CHECKED WITH AN OBD-II DIAGNOSTICS AND GAVE 2 CODES: P2111 THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM-STUCK OPEN AND P2112 THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM-STUCK CLOSED. NOW, NOW WARNING LIGHT OR ANY INDICATION OF PROBLEM ON DASH. NO WARNING LAMPS PRIOR TO PROBLEM. SAFETY WAS AT RISK BECAUSE WITHOUT WARNING, PULLING OUT INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC AND LOSING THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WITH TRAFFIC COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. LOOKING THIS PROBLEM UP IN AN ONLINE FORD F150 FORUM INDICATES THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM. WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO RECALL...

Warning lamps come on with amessage about hill decent service advance trac. Then vehicle goes into limp mode and shakes and shutters an the truck will only drive at or below 5 mph.> You then have to shut the vehicle off and restart it to get it to drive again this has happened to my truck at least 10 times in the last month It seems to happen at different speeds I have been real lucky as it has only happened to my truck while I was on a not to busy street. The vehicle shows a code of P2112 was set which states the throttle body needs to be replaced.

Driving up a hill on interstate 70MPH when an engine light with Hill Climb Assist disabled error came on. Accellerater shut down and had to coast to side of road. I shut vehicle off and started back up and was able to proceed till I got off highway and proceeded up another hill and same thing happened stalled and came to a stop. I found dozens of other F150 owners having the same problem stalling in the highway. All the posts indicate they had a bad "Throttle Body". Ford has had similar problems on other models but doesn't aknowledge this one.

The engine dies intermittently when idle. Typically when the vehicle is at operating temperature and the engine is sitting around 500 rpm. This includes while stopped at a light, in stop and go traffic during rush hour traffic and occasionally while in reverse. The issue seems to come and go but does not ever report any codes. I’ve taken the truck back to ford dealership and they were not able to reproduce after keeping the truck for a couple of weeks. NTB looked at it as well and was unable to reproduce. I was able to record it on video but since the issue does not consistently happen no one will look at the vehicle any further if they are unable to reproduce it. This happens at least three or four times a year and started mid 2022. Each episode can have a series of stalls throughout the day. This...

Broken exhaust manifold bolts causing loss of power when passing, going up steep grades or hauling heavy loads. The safety concern is loss of control due to loss of power during critical needs for power performance.

I keep reading online and hearing a bunch of instances regarding trying to accelerate and the truck falling flat and losing power. (This recently happened to me trying to get onto the expressway.) I was driving on the on-ramp and pushing the pedal to accelerate and I was parallel to the front of a semi truck. I tried passing and the truck completely went into limp mode and thank goodness there was a shoulder because I braked as hard as I could and threw the steering wheel as far to the right as I could. My life flashed in front of my eyes and it made me want to sell the vehicle because I have a baby and if it wasn’t for instinct I don’t know where I’d be. And that’s why I am posting this in hopes of this issue being some sort of recall. I later went to...

The exhaust manifold have warped,up due to lack of bolting down properly from the factory, and it is a known fact there are many other vehicles with the eco-boost that are having the same problem as I am 3.5

Vehicle shudders and stalls occasionally especially after a period of driving.

Vehicle idles rough than stalls after being at speed when stopped. Present a drivable condition in dangerous situations,no warning and throws no codes according to Ford service dealers. This condition has been present for over a year. It’s my belief FMC knows about faulty VCT selinoids and cam phasers failure. They do have a TSB out on some of it. This condition does present a dangerous condition because there are no indications that the truck engine has died. FMC needs to recall vehicles with this condition and replace/ repair the faulty components at their cost.

The throttle body control failed which caused the vehicle to have no power just idle. It failed at a time when I wasn’t in a dangerous spot it failed in my neighborhood. But it makes the vehicle with no power when pushing on the gas. Talked to dealer and they said yes they can just go out like a light bulb. If I was making a turn or merging into traffic it would have been extremely dangerous. Searching online this seems to be a common problem with these suddenly going out.

Exhaust manifold on the 3.5 liter eco boost is warped and causing power loss, other engine and performance issues/ concerns.

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.

UNKNOWN Gas mileage has plummeted from 19mpg highway/city Down to 12.5mpg Highway/City Hard starting is random so Very Hard to Catch for Auto Mechanics, new spark plugs, No Check Engine Lights, Multiple Mechanics both Dealership and 3rd Party cannot find anything wrong with the truck Fuel pump tested and is fine, O2 sensor either working properly or not telling the computer something is wrong Gas Mileage suddenly plummeted with no reason, nothing is telling the computer anything is wrong and nobody can find out why my gas mileage has plummeted so drastically with No Signs of Bad or Faulty Parts

Stalls at when at idol at stop lights. mechanics can't find out why. No warnings lights in cash come on

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...

TRUCK WILL STALL/SHUT OFF AT A STOP WHILE TOWING. RED BATTERY LIGHT WILL SHOW ON DASHBOARD. CAR WILL TURN OVER THEN SHUT DOWN AGAIN BY ITSELF WITHIN A FEW SECONDS. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AT THIS POINT- ONCE WHILE IN GAS STATION IN LINE TO GET GAS (STATIONARY) ONCE AT INTERSECTION (STATIONARY AT STOP LIGHT), ANOTHER TIME AFTER STOPPING VEHICLE TO GET GAS. AT FIRST EVENT 30 MINUTES AFTER IT NOT WORKING A JUMP STARTED THE VEHICLE SUCCESSFULLY, AT SECOND INSTANCE JUMP WOULD NOT START CAR, HAD TO GET TOWED, AT THIRD INSTANCE WE WERE ABLE TO START VEHICLE BY HOLDING THROTTLE DOWN WHILE PUTTING IN DRIVE. BROUGHT TO FORD DEALERSHIP- SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG, WOULD NOT WORK ON TRUCK, SAID NO COMPUTER CODES WERE FOUND.

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,...

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...

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY ON 8/30/20, THE TRUCK EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF FORWARD MOTION, BEGAN "BUCKING" AND CODES AND WARNINGS STARTED APPEARING ON THE DASHBOARD. WERE ABLE INITIALLY TO COAST TO A SAFER LOCATION TO STOP. TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. TURNED THE TRUCK OFF, RESTARTED AND ALL CODES DISAPPEARED. HOWEVER, AS SOON AS WE STARTED AGAIN, WITHIN A QUARTER MILE, SAME FAILURE OCCURRED. IN 20 MILES, THIS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 6 MORE TIMES AND WE COULD NOT GET SAFELY OFF THE ROAD (NO SHOULDERS WITH DITCH ON SIDE) HAVING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, TURN ENGINE OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE WHILE IN THE TRAFFIC LANE. VERY UNSAFE AND WE WERE LUCKY NOT TO BE HIT BY PASSING VEHICLES. AFTER RESEARCHING WHAT THIS POSSIBLE COULD BE, FOUND IT LIKELY THAT IT WAS A FAILURE OF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY, WHICH WAS THE SUBJECT...

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ENGINE LOST COMPLETE POWER, BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART IT. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER. I CALLED THE FORD DEALER ON SATURDAY AND WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS PROBABLY A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. I WAS ABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT ON MONDAY, BUT THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN ABOUT 10 TIMES OVER THE WEEKEND. IN MY OPINION THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AS THIS ISSUE COULD OCCUR WHILE PASSING ON A NARROW TOW LANE ROAD, GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, CROSSING A RAILROAD TRACK, ETC.,. FROM AN INTERNET RESEARCH I I FOUND THAT FORD HAS ISSUED TSB 16-0139 ON OCTOBER 10, 2016 AND THERE WERE NUMEROUS COMMENTS FROM OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IN FACT THE MAINTENANCE MANAGER AT FORD TOLD ME THIS HAD HAPPENED...

RELATED TO TSB-16-0139. WHILE DRIVING: HILL START ASSIST UNAVAILABLE MESSAGE; SERVICE ADVANCETRAC MESSAGE. WRENCH ICON, TRACTION ICON, AND CHECK ENGINE ICON DISPLAYED. TRUCK WENT INTO LIMP MODE. ROUGH IDLE, WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODIES. WOULD NOT COVER UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY I BELIEVE THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON SOME F150S, BUT IT DIDN'T INCLUDE MY MONTH/YEAR OF MANUFACTURE, TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE.

MY 2016 FORD F150 WITH ENGINE BLOCK HEATER CAUGHT FIRE TODAY 14 FEBRUARY 2020 AT 11:12 AM. IT WAS MOVING AND CAUGHT FIRE WHEN I PARKED THE TRUCK

HIGHWAY DRIVING AT 55 MPH, DING AND MESSAGE "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC", "HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE". THROTTLE UNRESPONSIVE AND TRUCK IMMEDIATELY BEGINS SLOWING. MANAGED TO GET OFF ROAD WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. ENGINE RUNNING ROUGHLY IN IDLE. TURN ENGINE OFF AND RESTART. OPERATES NORMALLY. THIS HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES AND PUTS THE VEHICLE AND PASSENGERS IN AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE POSITION! INTERNET RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH FORD THROTTLE BODIES. FORD COMPANY AND DEALERSHIP REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. TROUBLE CODE SHOWS P2112.

I WAS OPERATING MY 2016 FORD F150 ON A SECONDARY GRAVEL RD AT 30 MPH IN 2WD. UPON GOING A SLIGHT UPHILL GRADE, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND CAME TO A STOP IDLING ROUGHLY AT 1000 RPM. THE WRENCH LIGHT, HILL DECENT AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE ENGINE IDLED BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED IT. THIS SEEMED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM CLEARING THE ERROR CODES. HOWEVER, CONTINUING ON THE ROAD, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED 3 MILES LATER. I WAS IN A REMOTE AREA IN THE STATE AND HAD TO TRAVEL 60 MILES TO A URBAN AREA. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED AT LEAST 20 MORE TIMES WITH GREATER FREQUENCY UNTIL ARRIVING AT MY RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN SHERIDAN, WY. THE FIX WAS AS FOLLOWS. DIAG, P2112-THROTTLE ACTUATOR A CONTROL SYSTEM, STUCK CLOSED, PINPOINT TO THROTTLE BODY. REPLACED...

WHILE USING MY VEHICLE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I HAD VEHICLE CHECKED AT AUTOZONE AND O'REILY'S WHICH SHOWED 2 DIFFERENT CODES AND TOOK IT TO MACHAIK DEALERSHIP. TURNS OUT I HAD TO HAVE BOTH CYLINDER HEADS REPLACE, CRANKSHAFT BOLT REPLACED AS WELL AS A FEW OTHER ITEMS. I WAS TOLD IT WAS AN ISSUE THAT FORD WAS AWARE OF AND DIDN'T NOTIFY ME OF IT WHEN I BOUT THE VEHICLE. THEY COVERED THE COST DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING UNDER WARRANTY WHICH WAS ABOUT $5,000. $ MONTHS LATER I GOT MY VEHICLE BACK AND ABOUT 30 MILES OF DRIVING 55MPH IT STARTED BLOWING A THICK CLOUD OF WHITE SMOKE WITH SOME GREY SMOKE. I TAKE THE VEHICLE HOME AND LET IT SIT FOR 28 DAYS BEFORE I HAVE TO USE IT AND AFTER ABOUT 23 MILES IT STARTED SMOKING AGAIN. I TAKE IT TO...

BEHAVIOR MATCHES THE ISSUES DESCRIBED IN FORD RECALL 16B32. WHEN I ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE OCCASIONALLY STOPS ACCELERATING AND GOES INTO A FAILURE MODE WHERE I CANNOT ACCELERATE. A FEW WARNINGS SHOW UP ON THE DASHBOARD RELATED TO HILL START ASSIST AND BEING DISABLED AND TO SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK. TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON RESOLVES THE PROBLEM, BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I'M USUALLY ACCELERATING TO GET ONTO A HIGHWAY WHERE IT'S NOT SAFE TO HAVE MY VEHICLE STOP. FROM THE DESCRIPTION OF THE RECALL MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN 16B32 (MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 8/31/15 TO 4/27/16 IN KANSAS CITY), BUT FORD TELLS ME MY VIN IS NOT LISTED AS AFFECTED. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED TWICE NOW AND IT IS UNPREDICTABLE IN WHEN IT WILL OCCUR. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH OF "HILL START ASSIST FAILURE" SHOWS A LARGE NUMBER OF OTHER FORD OWNERS WITH THE EXACT...

MY TRUCK LOST COMPLETE POWER ON 8/3/19. SEVERAL DIFFERENT WANING LIGHTS CAME ON. FORTUNATLEY, I WAS LOST POWER ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF ROAD AT ABOUT 30 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO "LIMP" MY TRUCK BACK HOME. I HAVE A CODE READER AND IT SHOWED CODE P2112 "THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK CLOSED". I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND A FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE LETTER FROM 2016-2017 ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE WITH AN EXPIRATION NOTICE OF SEPTEMBER 2017. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN DECEMBER 2016 AND WAS NEVER SENT ANY NOTICE. I FIND IT INCREDIBLE THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT A DEFECT THAT CAUSES A VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER SUDDENLY, AND ADDRESSES IT WITH THIS BANDAID LEVEL OF SERVICE. IT IS A SIMPLE AND INEXPENSIVE FIX. I FIXED IT MYSELF IN LESS THAN AN HOUR WITH A PART PURCHASED FROM FORD THAT WAS LESS THAN $200. MY CONCERN IS THAT FORD DID NOT...

MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN IT SUDDENLY ENTERED A LIMP MODE, INDICATED BY MULTIPLE DASH WARNING LIGHTS AND AN ABRUPT LOSS OF POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE TO OPERATE IN SUCH CONDITION. FORD HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY USED ON THESE MOTORS, BUT HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL ON A PART THAT COULD CAUSE GREAT BODILY HARM AND INJURY IF IT SHOULD FAIL IN HEAVY TRAFFIC SCENARIOS.

IT IDLES ROUGH AT STOP LIGHT SOMETIMES SHUTS DOWN ,RADIO SCREEN IS BLANK SOMETIMES W RADIO OR PHONE CALL. ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL ENOUGH TO MAKE ME NAUSEOUS. THE COMPUTER READS NO CODES. THIS HAPPENS EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS, IT HAS BEEN AT 2 DIFFERENT SHOPS UP TO WEEKS AT A TIME THEY HAVE CHANGED SEVERAL PARTS BUT NONE HAVE FIXED IT.
