Car Stall Problems of Ford F-150 - part 1

Just replace electronic throttle body for second time at 106,185 miles. First time was at 38,460 miles. Both times replaced by Ford dealer at my expense. Recently contacted Ford with no response yet. This is a major safety issue. Truck stalls without any warning. Very dangerous. I have never replaced a throttle body on any other vehicle I have owned in 45 years of driving!!.

I bought used cash truck, drove fine for first day, second day while truck was in motion and put in reverse it dies, took a couple turns to started up and it started coding the camsaft sensors, got codes cleared, and it drove ok for 30 minutes coated again started to stall and stutter a bit. I heard a lot about Fords in the camshaft sensors does that mean my truck is done for. My truck has to camshaft sensors. 5. 4.

After 40 mile on the highway drive, I've got off the offramp and came to a red light. While I was stopped my truck started to idle rough for about 10 seconds and finally stalled. No check engine or warning lights appeared other than a notification on the dash screen stating to press brake to start. I then pressed the brake and pushed start and it turned on right away. I then drove in the city for another 20 miles with no problem and then evidently it happened again when I got to a stop. Restarted right away with no secondary issues. I took it to my local dealership. They kept it over night to run tests but there was no success on recreating the problem. Therefore, no repair was made. I do find this situation unsafe due to possible fault occurring at highway speeds or on a hill while driving.

When towing and coming to a stop my vehicle stalls and dies. It will not stay running. To keep it running I have to put in neutral and press the gas pedal to keep it running and then put into gear and take off. This is not safe. It is the 2. 7l ecoboost. I took it to our local Ford where it happened to the tech that took my truck in for inspection and then they said the service tech could not replicate the issue. They charged me $130 diagnosis fee and said they couldn't find the issue and called for me to pick up my vehicle. This is happening all over the country and something needs to be done.

Truck will stall/shut off at a stop while towing. Red battery light will show on dashboard. Car will turn over then shut down again by itself within a few seconds. This happened 3 times at this point- once while in gas station in line to get gas (stationary) once at intersection (stationary at stop light), another time after stopping vehicle to get gas. At first event 30 minutes after it not working a jump started the vehicle successfully, at second instance jump would not start car, had to get towed, at third instance we were able to start vehicle by holding throttle down while putting in drive. Brought to Ford dealership- said nothing was wrong, would not work on truck, said no computer codes were found.

While I was driving on Friday, my 2020 F-150 stalled. An error message popped up on the instrument cluster saying "auto startstop shift to p then restart". I restarted and it happened again. I then waited 10 minutes and restarted and it has not happened since. I took it to bob thomas service in hamden, CT today and they are saying they cannot find anything wrong. If I was on the highway or turning across traffic, stalling at that time could be disastrous or even fatal.

The engine had been dying at stop signs, red lights, and in parking lots up to this point (in drive or park) but ended up stalling eight or nine times on the interstate coming through atlanta rush hour traffic. This almost caused multiple accidents while I attempted to restart the vehicle without power steering and power brakes. The dealership has worked to repair the issue twice so far. I have made another appointment with the dealership and they plan to replace the vct solenoids next. Ford should admit this is a safety issue and initiate a recall to resolve this issue on all these vehicles before someone gets killed.

After towing for more than 300 miles the engine will die every time I come to a slow down or stop. It will restart only to instantly die again unless the throttle is pressed revving the engine and dropping it into drive. This is very dangerous especially towing at busy intersections when stalling out can lead to getting t-boned. This only happens towing and never gives a code so Ford says they can't fix what they can't see.

While driving from ohio back to north carolina, my wife and I were travelling at 75 mph when suddenly and without warning my truck abruptly stalled to 5 mph with no power from the accelerator. I managed to get the truck out of the high speed lane on a two lane highway and on to the side of the road. I turned the truck off. A few minutes later, I turned the truck back on and all function resumed. This has happened in the past, but when I took it in for work there was no issue reported or read and the error could not be replicated. The truck was towed to a Ford dealership. Service informed me I had a bad throttle body. This truck was part of a "customer satisfaction program" run in 2013 for a bad throttle body and total loss of acceleration. My truck received the repair in 2014 voiding the throttle body 10 year or 150,000 mile warranty. The safety concern remains and is endangering my life, my wife, and our future child. The part might be replaced without fixing the problem. An electrical issue may keep this vehicle having reoccurrences. This has me very concerned about a service that does not increase vehicle safety. And because of that concern I began to inquire if anyone else has had this issue. It turns out that in 2015 a class action suit was filed against Ford and settled on individual basises (janis benkle et al v Ford motor company). Currently, there are no programs to assist owners like myself in this situation. The original program is no longer valid and the repair performed was only good for one time (that repair apparently would not solve the safety concern as others have stated that the problem persisted after a new throttle body was put in). I have sought out an audience with the "zone manager". However, I have been informed that is impossible as customer care will not give that information and neither will the dealership.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving approximately 15 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that he pulled over and restarted the vehicle.

After driving 30+ min when bringing vehicle to a stop at a red light or parked, truck isles down to 500rmp and rough ideal and chokes like it wants to stall. There is no consistency to this. Has been doing this for 1. 5 years. Have been observing fuel levels, ambient temperature, engine temp and there is no consistency to it. There is never a check engine like that comes on and dealer has done a history search and there are no codes. Mechanics are scratching their heads. No recalls, no service advisories. Don't want to start tossing random parts into it.

While driving on a country road, the truck lost all power and service wrench came on. I pulled to side of a 2 lane rd and coasted to a stop. Turned the cr off and on again and code was gone. I drove for about 4 minutes and the truck lost power again. This repeated about 4 times as I was in a mountain area with no cell service. I had to to keep trying to coast as far as I could to find service. Finally after about an hour of stalling on the side of the road, I was able to get cell service and contact help. At 1am we got a tow to the dealer that just repaired the vehicle. They said the problem was unrelated to the service just performed and we had a bad throttle body. The item was replaced.

1. 11/09/2019 vehicle went into "limp mode" when entering the I-84 freeway from a freeway on-ramp at wood village, oregon. Vehicle lost power, would not exceed 5 mph, dash lights (wrench light) came on. Vehicle partially blocked traffic at intersection of freeway and on ramp causing a dangerous traffic problem for over 1 hour before tow truck arrived. . Vehicle was towed to Ford dealer. Diagnostic codes were not available upon restart at dealer to determine the problem, no repair was made. How can Ford have a "limp mode" which essentially shuts down the vehicle (stutters, stalls, no power) without the ability to diagnose the problem when diagnostic codes automatically reset at next startup? 2. 07/02/20 vehicle went into "limp mode" while driving on busy county road near my home. Using county roads and city streets, vehicle was driven in "limp mode" at low speed (5 mph or less for 7 miles to Ford dealer. Other vehicles were forced to pass in dangerous situations, bike lanes were blocked and intersections were partially blocked because of the slow speed of the vehicle. I was afraid to shut off the vehicle due to the previous incident where that action cleared the diagnostic codes. Vehicle was left running at the Ford dealer and repaired by them by reading the codes and replacing the throttle body. It is ridiculous to have a failure that initiates a "limp mode" condition that places the vehicle in a dangerous situation where the underlying condition cannot be easily diagnosed if vehicle is subsequently restarted. This will, of course happen when the vehicle is being towed or driven to the dealer if the dealer cannot immediately read the codes. I feel that Ford put me in harms way twice due to this faulty "limp mode' system. Further, I have no confidence in the reliability of this vehicle for future use.

Truck will stall while towing when coming to a stop at exit. Will not restart easily. Put truck in park, crank till starts, rev engine and shift into drive and keep rpms up to drive away. Will happen again after stopping for gas. While towing , I will fuel at the half tank level. It happens a lot on hot days. Usually after about 2 hours + of driving . No codes thrown at any time. Dealer can not find issue. This has happened for 2 years.

The truck completely lost power on a major interstate. The engine kept running, but no power to maneuver putting me and my family's safety in jeopardy. I was lucky it did not stall in a different place, or there could have been a major accident. It turned out to be a bad electronic throttle body. Ford dealer replaced it at a cost of $500.

I purchased my 2011 f150 ecoboost in used condition in 2014. The primary use for my truck is around town errands and hauling light loads. For sometime now I have had issues, like many others have complained as well, during acceleration at 45+mph the engine loses it's power, shudders and stalls. Once there is a reduction in the amount of throttle, it takes a few minutes to regain "normal" driving conditions. For example, my family and I were coming home from florida on the parkway, in July and with no abnormal weather conditions, and as I was ascending a grade about 75 miles per hour and a semi truck behind me, I gave the truck more throttle and it began to shudder violently, a subtle backfire, and lost power and could not regain throttle response. I quickly moved the truck into the emergency lane and had let the truck return to a normal idle, took a few minutes, before almost getting into a serious collision with the semi-truck. Over the past years I have just dealt with the issue and have taken it to mechanics and scanned the truck with no error codes or issues, until just recently. The mechanic scanned it and it showed misfires on #4 and #6. He replaced the coil and plug hoping that would be the cure, but with no luck it did not solve the issue. I'm reluctant to drop another $250. 00 to replace the rest of the coils, but I don't know what else to do. I do not have disposable income and the truck is payed for, I and can't afford to get another vehicle. I enjoy my f150 and plan on keeping it until the wheels fall off. I have read post after post and video's that there are many people experiencing the same issues, but it seems no one is willing to step forward and make the complaint. I want this issue addressed and I hope Ford will resolve the issue before someone is seriously injured or a life is taken over this problem.

Truck experienced multiple sensor failures over several months that reset. Failures include car stalling in intersection, blind spot monitoring, back up sensors, car shutting off and turning back on on its own. Car had to be powered down and shut off for 30 seconds before being allowed to restart. Most recent failure resulted in truck horn going off as well as car turning off while going 35-40 mph then restarting on its own - car surged forward after it restarted itself. At the same time hazards coming on, doors unlocking and locking and rear tailgate opening. After bringing car to a complete stop, shut off car and it turned itself back on (horn went off, hazards went on, doors unlocked and locked, and rear tail gate released). Towed to dealership for repairs and they were unable to recreate the problem.

In early September of 2019, I was driving my 2015 Ford F-150 on a major highway at about 65 mph. Suddenly, the vehicle stalled and lost all power as the dashboard lite up with some kind of traction warning. I drifted to the side of the road and put it in parked. The whole vehicle shook significantly at this point. I turned the vehicle off and waited about 2minutes. I started the truck up and went on my way with no problem. (note: this incident was a serious safety issue as I was on a major roadway in heavy traffic. My 10 and 8 year old grandchildren were in the back seat). A few weeks and a couple hundred miles later, I was on a narrow mountain road going about 45 mph when the exact same thing happened. I took the truck to the Ford dealer after both occurrences, but they could not find anything wrong with it, and said there was nothing they could do. I'm reluctant to drive it as this situation could cause an accident. It only has 42,000 miles on it and I use it to tow my travel trailer. I was not towing the trailer when these incidents occurred. I saw on your web site that several other people have had similar issues with the Ford F-150. Is there anything I can do about this? note that I bought the truck new in 2015 from the same dealer that I took it to for service. Bill vangreen, york, PA.

I bought this vehicle used with 151,000 miles on it. It ran good for a couple weeks then it stalled when I was going into a left hand turn but restarted. It repeated the problem a few more times then would not restart. I towed it back to the used car dealer I bought it from and they replacedd the fuel pump. That lasted about 2 weeks now the problem has returned. I seen many owners had the same problem with their trucks. Ford need's to take care of this before someone gets killed. The vehicle stalled under all conditions. At a idle, at 70 miles an hour on the interstate, in the city at 40 mph.

1. Engine doesn't run smooth at highway speed. . 2. Powertrain, transmission - received a recall 19v-075 for software update notice 6/25/2019. Took the f150 to gateway Ford dealership for the update. The next time tried to accelerate (8/16/19) the transmission shifter irradicably the dash icons flashed and the pickup stalled as to be in low gear, I shut off the ignition after pulling to the side of the road, restarted it after a bit and continued on my way. This has happened again, not sure of dates. As I was traveling out of south dakota I contacted gateway, they said to take the pickup to another Ford dealership and they would fix it. Took it to auto nation Ford in corpus christi, TX. They wouldn't fix it . They said the update wad already done. The pickup drove and worked good prior to the recall update and now it will shift radically and dash icon flashing when accelerating rapidly. In addition the drivers seat is wearing out. It should rear better than that. The pickup only has 90,178 miles on it and should last me longer than that. One more issue. The positive battery post continually corrodes. I've cleaned it many times and still corrodes. Please have someone address these issues on my f150. I think there should be no cost to me per your advertising on tv. Thank you gary hartman ghart41@hotmail. Com 605-222-7560.

While driving on a mountain highway (~7000 ft elevation) in colorado, my 2015 Ford f150 suddenly lost speed and vibrated wildly before stalling completely in the middle of the highway. While stopped, the truck continued to vibrate. Various warning lights illuminated (check engine, hill assist not working, check manual, etc. ) and I had to turn off my truck and re-start to pull off the road. The problem happened 3 more times within 2 hrs but this time I was able to track additional metrics (but I moved over to a secondary road with little to no traffic) to relocate to a safe location. The 3 additional stall events were triggered between rpms of 1000 and 2000. As I approached 2000 rpms and/or climbed a slight hill, I could feel the truck begin to loss throttle and if I did not back off on the gas peddle, the truck would stall. I am having my truck towed to a Ford dealership but I am at 36,747 miles and just beyond my warranty. I consider this a very danger system failure for a low mileage vehicle.

This is the second time the engine just seized on me while driving in motion, on the interstate, at a high rate of speed and I would have to change the gear to keep it from stalling! this is a serious safety issue. I am taking it in for service at autonation Ford in sanford FL, again today!.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact took the vehicle to town and country Ford (5401 e independence blvd, charlotte, nc 28212, (704) 557-0596) to be serviced per an unknown recall. Upon leaving the dealer and approaching a red light, the contact depressed the accelerator pedal and the vehicle stalled. After several attempts of applying pressure to the accelerator pedal, the vehicle began to move very slowly. The contact stated that the wrench warning icon illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 142,987.
