1 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 12/06/2019

While driving the vehicle the vehicle has very rough shifts, and not only that but while stopping or accelerating after a stop and the vehicle has been stationary for small time, the vehicle jerks with a rough shift. Also while trying to drive at an accelerated speed on a highway such as 55-70 the vehicle beings to shake more so the transmission area as though the gears are not shifting properly, and as this occurs my check engine light comes on.

2 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 02/06/2019

My 2010 4. 6 2wd shuts down while driving at 40mph on the street. I've changed so many things and now just ordered thottle body yo see if it helps. No one can diagnose this problem because no check engine light. I lose power steering and all power to the vehicle. This needs to be recalled by Ford because it is very dangerous and almost caused me to have accidents with my kids inside.

3 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 01/11/2018

I have not had any problems with the truck until now. Lately I t's not been cranking and the check engine light on. Sometimes it cranks fine and sometime it doesn't. I took it to auto zone and they got a communications code. I've heard a lot of complaints on this issue. I've also been told that the vehicle will shut down on you while driving.

4 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 04/04/2016

Had just completed an oil change in novato, CA at the oil changers. When driving home on the freeway at approximately 65mph the engine lost all power. (stepping on the accelerator had no response and the check engine light came on) I coasted the vehicle onto the shoulder of the highway and came to a complete stop, turning off the engine. Checked the oil plug was still in the oil drain pan and everything looked ok. The vehicle started back up without issue and has been running fine since.

5 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 11/20/2015

The truck will just stall with no warning and no engine error codes. I was going from a stop to make a left hand turn and stalled in middle of 4 lane highway. I had to put the engine in park and start the engine in order to get out of the highway. My nephew was driving the truck a week prior and it stalled at a stop light and proceeded to role down a hill. He had to put the truck in park and restart the engine. It does not produce any engine error codes. The truck will be running just fine then the engine will just quit. Researching online for Ford 5. 4l f150 engine stalls it appears other people are experiencing similar issues. I took it the other day and it was stated that they couldn't duplicate the problem, then they said it could be a O2 sensor. My experience with faulty O2 sensors is usually rough idle and check engine light which my truck does not have. I understand it maybe a hard problem to solve but it appears that this could be a big safety problem due to loss of power.

6 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 05/21/2012

Engine stalls at low speeds causing loss of steering and braking. There was no check engine light or error code when this first occurred. After the engine had stalled for about 32-35 times, the check engine light finally came on. I took the truck to a local mechanic shop to read the code which indicated that the evap system was blocked. My dealer determined that a solenoid in the fuel evap. System had failed. As a result the fuel tank was collapsed by vacuum because there was no secondary tank vent. This is dangerous! there should be a secondary vent or a pressure/vacuum sensor to prevent the tank from being collapsed. Note: the tank was collapsed so much so, as to damage the pump/level sending unit assembly.
