3 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 06/25/2019

On two separate occasions (different trips) while pulling a 21' camper on the interstate at 60-65 mph, my truck would immediately stall when attempting to start it after getting gas. I would have to rev the engine in order to keep it running and then a prominent "clunk" would sound when I put it in drive. It ran rough initially but seemed to operate okay once moving and would once again die out if the engine was turned off and re-started. Let it set for an hour while eating and it's okay.

Truck shuts off when pulling a camper and will not run after restart unless you rev the engine and quickly pull the shifter into drive and accelerate quickly. The instrument panel shows �auto startstop shift to p, them restart engine. � this has caused many near miss accidents. The vehicle will stall when you try to cross an intersection or pull away from a stop sign.

7 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 08/14/2018

Vehicle stalls whenever coming to a stop after towing for more than an hour. Requires the vehicle to be placed in park to restart, but will continue to stall out immediately. Dangerous at intersections and stop-and-go traffic. Also stalls (when towing) when attempting to restart after refuelling. Only way to get the vehicle to start without stalling it to keep the gas pedal pressed to keep the rpm above 1500; or wait 10-15 mins for engine to cool. No check engine/computer system error given at all. Only stalls when vehicle has been towing over a long distance. Occurred 20+ times a day over the course of traveling across the us and canada in July/August 2018. Took the vehicle into Ford service center in longmont, CO, but were unable to diagnose with no code. I am seeing more and more reports of the same problem occurring with 2018 Ford F-150 2. 7l ecoboost models. . Read more...

8 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 07/13/2018

My truck has the 2. 7 engine. While towing our trailer longer distances the truck will stall while exiting the highway or stopping for fuel. It will not restart without pressing on the gas and dropping it into drive. Its very unsafe because you might be in a intersection and cannot steer it because of the electric steering. This has been a ongoing issue sincee it was new and they cannot figure out the problem. Its to the point that I dont feel safe towing with this truck especially with my family in it.
