Radiator problems of the 2013 Ford F-150

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated he parked the vehicle on his down hill driveway, when the vehicle began to roll back. The contact stated the shift gear was on park but he did not apply the emergency brakes. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to stop the vehicle by depressing on the brake pedal. The contact stated on a different occasion, while driving 50 mph, when the check engine warning light began to illuminate and vehicle began to shake forcefully. The contact stated he depressed the accelerator pedal but failed to go over 50 mph. The contact was able to park on the side of the road for 30 minutes before restarting the vehicle and continue to drive with no issue. The contact stated he opened the hood and noticed the radiator was covered in oil. The vehicle was taken to local dealer rod baker Ford sales inc. Located at 16101 s Lincoln hwy, plainfield, IL 60586, (815) 436-5681, where unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer has not been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 104,219. Dp.

Radiator fan turns on after approximately 5 minutes of vehicle running and continues to run until the vehicle is turned off. This started at approximately 60k miles. The fan turns on regardless of temperature outside the vehicle. It also turns on regardless the transmission temperature. The only consistent piece is the timing. The truck can be in motion or stationary.

Oil and radiator fluid leaks causing engine smoking and nauseating odor when heater turned on while engine cold or cold exterior temps. Complete loss of engine and drive power randomly lasting 15-60secs, then all numbers gas milage, speed, mileage become dashes, speedometer quits working, on highways and city street. Pulling over shutting off and restart will reset until next random episode. Rough jerks and occasionally a bang with jerks (feel like it comes from the axels) usually at low speeds. More often in parking lots but in traffic jams on highways. Once transmission recall complete it ran fantastic for a week and a half. Now it's worse than ever and engine light comes on for a day and then goes off.

The upper radiator hose a leak after talking to a number auto parts dealers and Ford dealers there is back log for that item until February.

T-connector (base part #8566) from radiator coolant reservoir to engine block cracks in cold temperatures draining coolant disabling the vehicle. Ford indicates national backorder with no estimation on when parts will be available. I was told I was #17 on the waiting list at repair shop for the same piece due to the number of device failures due to recent cold temperatures in the ohio valley. The vehicle was stationary for four days when I noticed a large puddle under the vehicle. Upon inspection, I found the coolant reservoir was empty and coolant draining all down the serpentine belt and pulleys. Mechanic verified cracked t- connector. Due to the number of cracked t-connectors and a national backorder, I feel there is a material deficiency in the t-connector and should be recalled for replacement. I've been told my vehicle is out of service for an undetermined amount of time. With a snow storm looming, this is unacceptable!.

T-connector from radiator coolant reservoir to engine block cracks in cold temperatures draining coolant disabling the vehicle. Ford said its on national backorder with no estimation on when parts will be available. Mechanic verified cracked t- connector. Due to the number of cracked t-connectors and a national backorder, I feel there is a material deficiency in the t-connector and should be recalled for replacement. The vehicle was stationary when I noticed a large puddle under the vehicle. So far its cost me 219. 99 and 507. 32 to try and fix this. And it still leaks.
