My 2013 f150 platinum died on me while driving, and would not start back up. I had it diagnosed by david stanley Ford in midwest city and found out that I needed to have a fuse relocation kit put in to fix my engine failure. I researched what that was, and found out that the factory installed Mini fuse running the fuel pump cannot handle the amount of current going through it, and overtime it melts the fuse box itself, instead of blowing the fuse, which causes complete engine failure. It is such a commonly known issue that Ford has even issued a TSB explaining how to fix and install this problem with the above mentioned kit. Why I am complaining is because this issue that causes dangerous engine failure while driving and which leaves the owner stranded, is not a recall when even Ford knows that it is a factory installed malfunction. It is 100% a safety issue for not only those driving 2009-2014 Ford vehicles where this issue has been known to occur, but also for everyone else on the road when your Ford vehicle dies while driving down the road or highway.
Lose power on acceleration while passing on the highway sudden lost of power and engine fail shacking type of feel not noise or warning before events.
The ecoboost engine looses power on take off in rainy weather. I has happened six times. The most recent was this morning 04/07/14. The problem occurs when the truck is taking off from a stop, such as traffic light or stop sign. The main problem seems to be the rain. After driving in rainy weather for a prolonged period of time the truck will not take off from a dead stop. The engine looses power and shakes violently. This morning while taking me daughter to school we pulled into traffic and tried to get up to speed. The engine failed and we had to pull to the side of the road. This has become a safety issue. It was not raining this morning but I did drive for several hours in the rain yesterday. I have contacted the dealer and they tell me my tuck already has the fix from Ford.
