| Engine And Engine Cooling problems |
While driving on highway at 55 mph car looses power, goes into limp home mode, orange wrench warning indicator appears on dash panel. Very dangerous in high traffic areas where there is room or time to pull to side of road. Pull off road, turned off engine, and then restarted and ran fine. Seems to happen unexpectedly every 3 to 4 months. No engine malfunction codes can be found on onboard diagnostic system.
Vehicle was leaking antifreeze and taken to good year. The part was not made and is not being made by any factory or by Ford. Ford is aware of the problem. The service manager in rock hill,SC said there was 20 others waiting and they needed paperwork for proof and a hundred deposit for a part that isn't even made. Good year made a temporary fix. If the fix breaks the antifreeze will leak out causing the motor to seize up.
In the last two I been having a wrench coming up on the screen and truck loses power and the speed drops down to 5 miles an hour. While the truck is running in idle, it is vibrating. When I stop it and restart it goes away. It happen three times in the last two weeks. After the second time the dealer reprogramed the computer last Friday. Thursday five days later it came back when I was doing 50 miles an hour. I called the dealer and he said he will change the throttle sensor out tomorrow . The times it happen I was on country road with no traffic, if I would have on the interstate no telling what would have happen with cars behind me doing 70 miles an hour.
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.
Spark plugs ejected from my van.
Truck shook an stop running.
