Vehicle stalls randomly while driving, no matter if it's on the highway or city streets. This is dangerous. It has been to the dealer 4 times. It's there now and they are unable to figure it out. Ford is aware of this problem and recalled the 2011 and 2012 and some 2013s. But not mine. This vehicle needs to be recalled. It's an accident waiting to happen. It left me stranded it rural colorado in a snow storm in 7 degree weather with my daughter. I did restart but that would have been really bad had it not.
3. 5 v6 ecoboost fire. Completely burned my truck to the ground with my family driving in, wife and 5 yr old. Passenger suffered 3rd degree burns, 12/10/2016. Truck was in motion, we smelt smoke and within 2 minutes the truck was completely engulfed.
On 03/17/2016 I was driving on route 287 in new jersey in the fast lane at speeds around 65 mph my truck had a loss of power. The check engine light never came on and the truck started shuttering really bad, with the accelerator pushed down the truck was slowing down and the cars behind me were hitting their brakes. After about 2 minutes the truck went back to normal. I brought the truck to the dealership and they were unable to diagnose the problem. They said they know about this issue and removed the air deflector and reprogrammed the powertrain control module. 7 days later I had another close call on route 287 in new jersey when my truck started misfiring and shuttering. Again no check engine light ever came on. I brought the truck back to the dealership. There were no diagnostic trouble codes or alarms. The mechanic took the truck for a test drive using an integrated diagnostic system and found a power balance and cylinder #4 misfire. They replaced #4 coil and gave the truck back to me. 24 hours later and another close call the truck is back to the dealership and I was told it was another cylinder #4 misfire. The dealership is being very helpful and trying everything they can but this is an enormous safety problem and if this issue is not corrected it can turn into a fatal ending.
September 2015 I-75 north bound, attempted to pass a vehicle at 70 mph and had loss of power, check engine light and violent engine shaking for 5-10 minutes on the highway before shaking and check engine light stopped. Happened in the gainesville FL area cloudy but dry day, had all scheduled maintenance done in venice FL prior to getting on the road at the dealership, 36,500 miles. October 2015 I-44 east bound tulsa ok, reentering the interstate had loss of power unable to enter at appropriate speeds, check engine light and violent shaking. Slammed on gas and then brake pedals with no difference. Pulled off the interstate parked the truck, turned off and restarted as soon as it started gunned the gas pedal rpm in the red line and again the truck lost all power, check engine light and shook did this for 30 minutes until I was able to start the truck and gun the rpm into the red line without loss of power. Called dealership asking about hydroplaning and engine losing power like in the tundra trucks, was told no Ford does not have that safety feature. Cold and wet weather conditions 40,000 miles. November 2015 on TX 82 west bound at 80 mph, 35 degrees and rainy conditions. Attempted to pass a semi and had loss of power, check engine light and violent shaking was a passenger in the truck at this time and was still able to feel the shaking from the engine. Again lasted 5-10 minutes. Went to the dealership for oil change before the trip in the beginning of November. 43,000 miles. Have been to my dealership asking about this problem, and have been told there may be a recall but so far nothing. I do interstate driving in less than ideal conditions (rain, snow and ice) I need this truck to preform that is why I bought it. I understand it takes time and money to make a recall happen, but make no mistake this is going to cause accidents.
Purchased new 2013 Ford eco pickup. It was advertised and sold to be a high efficient fuel economical vehicle. First time temperatures dropped below 30 degrees f, my fuel mileage drastically dropped. After discussion with dealership, they seemed to be aware of the affect cold air had on its fuel mileage. Prior to cold weather I was experiencing 18 to 24 mpg. As soon as cold weather arrived I was experiencing 12 to 14 mpg. This type of mileage is consistent all through the winter until late spring. Seems the 24 mpg is unachievable anymore. Dealership briefly explained the boosters work best in warm weather. This information was not offered during the purchase process. I even showed them a magazine article written on how Fords eco boost had been experiencing lower than advertised mpg. The salesman acknowledged the article and said they had corrected the problem. I was told during a maintenance process, that it had to have 12,000 miles before they could test it for lack of mpg. I had it inspected at 11,800 miles and they claim there is nothing they can do. My advice to anyone purchasing a 150 eco boost expecting good to above average mpg, it will not happen.
The first time the incident happen I was diving about 30 mph on a bright sunny day about 70 degrees out. I tried to go around a car and when pressed the accelerator the vehicle kind of stalled and shook, did not accelerate at all. I let off the petal and tried again and it accelerated fine. There wasn't much danger involved in this mishap as the other driver and I were the only 2 vehicles on the road for a fare amount of distance. The second time this happened is what really worried me. I was leaving a gas station preparing to cross a 4 lane highway with a speed limit of 55 mph. This time it was morning about 65 degrees and sunny, I rolled up to the intersection and when an opportunity to cross was presented I pressed on the accelerator and the vehicle shook pretty bad and the engine about died. I hit the brake and the engine worked itself out of the shake. That's when I realized this issue is life threatening. If I would have pressed the accerator and the vehicle brought me to the center of the highway and stalled there is a very good chance I could have been t-boned! and to top it off another issue I have been having with my 2013 Ford F-150 platinum is the bluetooth is rarley capable of syncing to my iphone, so I were to be t-boned the vehicle would have been incapable of utilizing its 911 assist feature and the injured involed in the accident would have to rely on a witness dialing 911.
While making a left hand turn across traffic I floored the gas pedal and all power was lost almost resulting in a crash. The next time was on the highway while trying to pass another vehicle total loss of power. Unable to pass almost rear ended, luckily able to get off the road. Today November 3rd 2013 9:00 am traveling 40 mph on flat ground clear sky about 45 degrees I floored it and the truck did nothing it did shake alittle and I kept my foot to the floor for about 1/2 a mile and it never regained any power. Then I smelled something burning. No check engine lights ever came on and my fuel economy get worst every day. The truck feels like something is dragging it down all the time. Poor fuel economy mixed with unreliability is going to equal disaster. Ford is lucky no one has been hurt or killed yet. The truck will be towed to the dealer in the morning I simply will not risk my life while Ford sits on there thumbs. Fix the problem before someone is hurt!!!!.
6/11/13 driving in moderate rain in 75 degrees with cruise control on I attempted to accelerate to pass. Truck lost power and began to shudder rather violently. Check engine light began to flash. Incident lasted 20-30 seconds. This occured again on 6/13/13 in similar conditions. I took the vehicle to a dealer in massena NY. They pulled a p-306 code (#6 cylinder misfire) and ran an oasis report. The report showed my exact symptoms as an ecoboost issue. They assured me it was not going to damage the vehicle so I drove it back to home in virginia. I have an appt with my local norfolk va dealer on 6/17/13. My build date is 03/03/13.
My vehicle is a 2013 Ford F-150 ecoboost. I was traveling on the interstate and my check engine light came on and the truck shuddered violently. While this was occurring the vehicle had little power. I was in the left hand lane, and was pinned between a tractor trailer on my right and a car behind me. The vehicle shuddered for approx. 8 to 10 seconds then stopped. I was then able to accelerate and pass the truck. Weather conditions: raining temp: between 75 and 80 degrees time: 7:00 a. M.
2013 f150 eco boost problem with approximately 2781 miles drove thru the town albert lea, mn at about 1100 hours on 5/28/13 (cst) at about 30 mph. Entered the on ramp (cloverleaf style ramp) to I-35 southbound. Attempted to accelerate to 60 mph due to short on ramp/merge lane. Engine lost power (approx. 80%???) then went into a shaking/shuttering mode. Engine warning light flashed intermittently. Attempted to merge with several semi¿s on I-35 (the reason for quick acceleration plus the sort merge lane). Backed off on the gas pedal when engine power decreased and in approximately 20 seconds the engine recovered and never hesitated again. The weather temperature was approx. 60 degrees f with a heavy mist and moderate fog. The bottom line: if any one of the truckers had hiccupped or had been distracted during our terrifying merge we would be writing this info from a hospital bed (or not writing from a morgue). Dealer ran diagnostic with no indications of any failure in spite of engine warning flashing during power loss or shaking (death rattle???). Date of manufacture appears to be December 2012.
While driving north on I-95 in georgia at 65 mph, I attempted to accelerate. The truck began to shake violently, lose power, and the check engine light illuminated. The weather at the time was 70 degrees with moderate rain. I had been driving for approximately one hour at the time of the incident. I had to pull over to the emergency lane and shut off the motor. The engine restarted ok. I did not attempt any more hard accelerations. I had no more stall problems. I took the truck to the dealer where they found a misfire code, but had no explanation or fix to prevent the problem from happening again. This is an ecoboost vehicle.
I was traveling at exactly 70 mph on the interstate at about 40 degrees in my brand new 2013 F-150 ecoboost. While attempting to pass a line of slower semi-trucks, I put the accelerator pedal to the floor. The engine rev'd and the started violently shuttering to the point I thought the engine mounts were surely breaking. The vehicle lost most of its power and with another trucker behind me in the passing lane, it immediately became an extremely dangerous situation. I could not accelerate at all and fortunately was able to let the lower traffic pass me so I could fall into the slow lane -- it was very dangerous to put it mildly. The truck fixed itself after about 5 miles of slower driving. I took it to the Ford dealership the next morning and they kept it for several days and couldn't find any problems. I tried to duplicate the event and couldn't. The scene repeated itself three times under exactly the same circumstances with two or three weeks separating the occurrences. The last time the dealership service department said Ford corporate engineering did not know what the problem was and to try re-installing the computer software. This appears to have fixed the problem but my gas mileage has gone down to an average 18. 5 mpg and previously I was getting up to 25 mpg average.
