The vehicle has two "types" of problem that may be related. In some cases, the truck drops down into 1st gear regardless of the speed. This has happened three times since I picked up the truck following the attempted recall repair, but none of these incidences of dropping into 1st gear caused error codes to pop up. In another "type" of incident, the speedometer drops to zero even while in motion, and the vehicle stays in 3rd gear no matter the speed (including when not in motion, even after shifting into park and back to drive, the vehicle automatically jumps to 3rd gear before I even start to move). During this second type of incident, the airbag light came on, as did the wrench/check engine light. This second type of incident triggered many error codes: u0401:68-48 b00a0:68-08 u0401:00-08 p0722:00-68 u0401:86-08 u0401:00-08 u0401:68-08 b1083:07-08 u0423:00-28.

Exiting from interstate speed, coming to a complete stop at light, truck shakes and stalls. Able to restart. No check engine light ever. Had left vehicle at dealer for 3-4 days with no issue found. Fuel tank level weather full or 1/4 full still occurs.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the vehicle downshifted to first gear with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was restarted and drove as designed. The vehicle was taken to mac haik Ford (10333 katy fwy, houston, TX 77024, (713) 932-5000) where it was diagnosed that the lead frame needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 73,000.

When driving at highway speeds the vehicle feels like the timing is off. Hesitates as you roll at 50 or 60mph. Then when you exit freeway and are stopped at light the idle becomes rough and drops below 500rpm. Several times the engine stopped running while waiting for the light to turn green. The previous owner noticed it as well and she took it to the dealership to get checked. Dealer said there is no check engine light and no error code so can't fix it. I took it to another Ford dealer after purchase and they could not duplicate the issue even though I told them what to look for. Ford f150 owners board has list of many people with same issue with the 2014-2016 era trucks. Fixes from their post show replacement of 2 new cam phasers and new vct solenoids repairs the issue. Vct had locked up and allowed the cam to jump by two teeth. So vct failure was causing the timing to be off which is the effect I am experiencing at highway speeds and the stalling upon stopping at off ramp light is because the timing is off. Ford will not repair unless cel is on however. I told service team member my concern about taking a left turn across traffic and having the engine stall mid lane and getting t-boned.

The contact's boyfriend owns a 2003 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the ignition coils and all spark plugs would blow out inside of the engine which would cause the vehicle to stall as the check engine light would appear on the dashboard. The contact stated that she has had the ignition coils and sparks plugs replaced on four separate occasions all by independent mechanics however, the failure persisted. The contact also called three separate dealers but was unable to reach a service representative. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the VIN was not under recall. She was referred to NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

Driving on highway 3 different times when acceleration stopped and check engine light came. Fortunately traffic was light when vehicle decelerated. I took vehicle to my mechanic and he had to replace throttle body. He googled problem and saw numerous types of same part vehicle. Called my Ford dealer and he confirmed that they had had to replace throttle body on certain models but Ford had not yet issued a recall notice. This is a very dangerous situation to lose throttle suddenly while driving. My mechanic replaced part, but Ford will not address as a recall issue.

Engine knocking on startup. The knock is more easily heard from the passenger side of the vehicle. The knocking is the most noticeable for the first 30 seconds of startup. This occurs every day. The amount of knocking follows an increase in engine rpm. One occasion I was driving 65 on the freeway, the engine compartment started violently shaking. The car lost acceleration and flashed the check engine light. This was the start of the engine knock. 09.

Tl-the contact owns a 2016 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30-40 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. Additionally, the failure recurred while stopped at a traffic light with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The mechanic retrieved fault code: p0012 (intake (a) camshaft position timing -over- retarded (bank 1). The vehicle was not repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were contacted or informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 59,000. Ah.

While driving on the highway pulling a trailer the vehicle check engine light and wrench light came on with a warning that stated "service advance track and hill assist is not available. The vehicle then lost all power causing me try attempt to cross traffic to get to the side of the road without any engine power. After stopping the engine was shuddering. The vehicle needed to be towed into a dealer to be fixed. The electronic throttle body had failed causing the engine to go into "limp" mode(what ever that is). This is a very dangerous situation to have happen at highway speeds.

When trying to accelerate in my truck on the highway, I had a jerking motion with reduction in speed. The check engine light came on so I took it into a Ford dealership. They said the code p0016 represents a TSB out on ecoboost engines for timing chain stretched. The cost for me to fix is $4100. Thi.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The failure also occurred at vehicle start-up. The contact sparked fuses 7 and 8 together to restart and drive the vehicle. The check engine warning light illuminated. The contact contacted sellers-sexton pre-owned trucks and imports (509 vfw memorial dr, st robert, mo 65584, (573) 336-4060) who relocated the fuse lines for the fuel pump. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

My 2016 f150 5. 0 supercrewhas started to regularly stall when idling in park or when braking or coasting when coming to a intersection. I can immediately restart upon putting in park or neutral. Sometimes a check engine light comes on. Upon googling the problem it seems pretty common with no answers of certainty.

Upon accelerating to pass or merge onto a highway the engine will lose power and the check engine light will flash. This loss of power makes it dangerous to safely pass or merge onto a highway. I was researching on the internet and there are many instances of this happening to ecoboost owners. This problem has been dubbed the "ecoboost shudder " I have called 4 dealerships asking if there is a service bulletin for this problem or repairs. It seems that Ford service departments are completely unaware of this problem however it is well known to ecoboost owners.

While driving the vehicle the vehicle has very rough shifts, and not only that but while stopping or accelerating after a stop and the vehicle has been stationary for small time, the vehicle jerks with a rough shift. Also while trying to drive at an accelerated speed on a highway such as 55-70 the vehicle beings to shake more so the transmission area as though the gears are not shifting properly, and as this occurs my check engine light comes on.

The truck was running for about 15 minutes. We were going down a major highway in one of the passing lanes at approximately 70mph then without any warning power was lost. On the display trac stability came on then cycled thru hill assist and several others. I drifted of the road just past a exit. The engine felt like it was missing terribly as it cycling thru these errors. I shut it down and restarted it seemed ok, but check engine light still on, when I tried to move it started to shake and cycle errors again. I shut it down again and restarted this time it was running ok. The check engine light was still on and we drove with thecheck egine light for approximately 400 miles stopping and shuting off engine several times. Light still on. Stopped for 1 hour to eat when restarting no check engine light on and has been working as normal today.

While using my vehicle under normal conditions the check engine light came on so I had vehicle checked at autozone and o'reily's which showed 2 different codes and took it to machaik dealership. Turns out I had to have both cylinder heads replace, crankshaft bolt replaced as well as a few other items. I was told it was an issue that Ford was aware of and didn't notify me of it when I bout the vehicle. They covered the cost due to the vehicle being under warranty which was about $5,000. $ months later I got my vehicle back and about 30 miles of driving 55mph it started blowing a thick cloud of white smoke with some grey smoke. I take the vehicle home and let it sit for 28 days before I have to use it and after about 23 miles it started smoking again. I take it to the same dealership again and I told them about the smoking issue, rough idle and the exhaust smells like gas which is not normal. I showed them a video of the issue which contains my mileage at the time and my license plate which clearly shows my vehicle so they cannot say it wasn't my vehicle. Waiting for the results of their findings and plan to update the complaint. I will not upload the video at this time due to it containing my license plate, don't know how to upload it from phone and I don't know how to edit that out. If it is necessary to update this complaint I will upload the video as proof as well as work order from previous and current work. My mileage will not be 100% accurate but it will be within 400 miles plus or minus.

Upon trying to pass or accelerate my truck ,it loss power and boggle down check engine lights are on. Leaving my house three blocks away from my distanation.

While driving a wrench and check engine light comes on, the car decelerates and will not respond to accelerator. Come to stop with engine shuddering. Checked engine code as p2112. Operating on flat surface street at 45 mph.

While accelerating quickly, but not so much as to spin the tires, the vehicle started "bucking". I was doing about 35-40 when it got pretty bad. The engine felt as if it was stopping and starting very quickly. It was actually pretty hard to control and it causes the truck to not allow me to accelerate onto the highway or even reach highway speeds. The check engine light started flashing and did not stop flashing for about 2 minutes. The truck would also not let me accelerate for that amount of time either.

Tl-the contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated that their brakes had grinned terribly. The brake didn't go down as far as it should and the vehicle took longer to stop. The contact had problems stopping the vehicle. The contact's wife had the hardest time stopping the vehicle. The spouse had to use more strength than usual when pressing on the brake. The remote start a nd air conditioning didn't function properly either. The check engine light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic. The vehicle was diagnosed. The vehicle needed new brakes. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,280. Jw.

I was driving on the freeway in the fast lane. Suddenly the wrench warning light and check engine light came on, and the car experienced what appeared to be a total loss of engine power. I placed the hazard lights on and was able to navigate to the shoulder, with 18 wheelers and other cars trying to react to my sudden loss of power and speed. After turning the car off, and restarting it, it appears ok to proceed. This same incident has happened now 8 times in the last few days. I took the car into Ford and they are claiming it's an issue with the throttle body. I mentioned that I see a throttle body recall for 2015-2016 F-150's, but Ford is denying the issue, indicating there is no recall for my 2013. I find many complaints identical to mine for F-150's earlier than 2015. They also claim Ford denies the issue and refuses to fix the problem. Most also reference concern for a significant safety issue, feeling that Ford will only fix this once people die. I took my F-150 to the local Ford dealer today and they verified it was the throttle body, and are charging me $650 to fix it. I have read from others that the component used to fix the problem is the original faulty component, so there is no reason to feel that the problem will not happen again eventually. I have experienced four times on the freeway at 65mph, and several times on city streets at 30mph. I was driving straight, not braking.

The truck on its own downshifted to 1st gear while driving on the freeway at 65-70mph. The check engine light came on. This happened 3 times. The obd error code p0720. The dealer could not find anything wrong with it and returned it without any updates to the software or replacing the speed sensor.

While driving the 2013 Ford 150 ecoboost, it suddenly lost power,the wrench light came on. . . . Tried accelerating but was not able to. . . Had to find a way to move out of the street before something happened and have someone crash the back. . . . Horrible experience. . After finding a place to park, turned the truck off. . . When turned it back on was working fine again while driving the 2013 Ford f150 ecoboost. It suddently lost power, the wrench light came on, I tried to accelerate but was not able to. I had to pull over to the side of the road, turn off the truck and turn it back on. When I turned it back on it was working fine again. This has happened multiple times during the week. And Ford is no help unless the check engine light comes on. It's is super unsafe to drive, yet Ford says to keep driving the vehicle.

Loss of power while driving on interstate . Whether accelerating to pass or the need to accelerate in any instance or any time!! in a recent trip via interstate the truck lost power !! if I would have been traveling on secondary roads and attempting to pass , I do not believe I would have made it. Check engine light came on! I brought it to the repair shop and they ran tests on it and said it did code dtcp0016 when deleting the code it would come back!!! I have parked the truck and was told there were numerous complaints to the ntsb on same problems. I bought the truck new and it only has 56000 miles on it an the Ford service said it was out of warranty I believe this is a safety problem that needs to be addressed!!!.

Truck currently has a recall on it due to it going into first gear unexpectedly. Took truck to closest dealership two weeks ago and had the recall service completed. Was told to expect my check engine light to be on for three or four days. When it stayed on a week I called them back to discuss the light still being on. Rescheduled a follow up appointment for April 12. On April 5 and April 7 the truck had the same problem that the recall was supposed to fix. Going approx 50mph when the truck went into first gear with wheel hop and some fish tailing. When this problem occurs the instrument panel will basically go to all zero's and it takes the truck being turned off for the computer to reset and allow truck to drive normally. Just wanted to document here since truck goes back to dealership tomorrow.

Vehicle intermittently sputters when accelerating from a stop and also when the vehicle is in motion. I replaced the ignition coil and spark plug in cylinder 3. Unfortunately, the intermittent sputter continues to be an issue as well as the check engine light being activated. Accelerating in traffic and from a stop is dangerous and requires additional attention and driving techniques to prevent a potential rear end collision caused by a vehicle approaching my vehicle from the rear.

My 2015 f150 ecoboost has 100,000 miles on it. Over the past 10 days the truck has repeatedly lost power while driving in traffic on the highway. It happened while going up a hill on a cross-country trip, as well. The rpm drops down to 500 rpm, rough idle, no acceleration at all, hill assist light wrench light check engine light passenger air bag light and see owners manual pop up on the instrument panel (limp mode). Pulled off to side of road and had to stop and re-start the truck several times before we could continue our trip. I checked codes and logged a p2112. After some online research, I cleaned the throttle body. Looked online and youtube to discover this problem is not just me and frequently happens to others. This is a safety issue and could result in an accident. The truck should not enter limp mode for a minor issue like this. Luckily I was able to safely get over on the shoulder each time. I recently had my truck in for a recall and pcm software update. The rear differential went about a week after the update, and now the loss of power. (see https://youtu. Be/hxqvxxejzqo).

My 2015 f150 ecoboost has 79,156 miles on it. Over the past 3 days the truck has repeatedly lost power while driving in traffic on the highway. The rpm will drop down to 500 rpm, rough idle, no acceleration at all, hill assist light wrench light check engine light passenger air bag light and see owners manual pop up on the instrument panel. Took my truck into Ford today and they replaced the throttle body under my extende warranty not their emissions warranty as stated in their owners manual of 8 years or 80,000 miles. Called Ford and they don't know about an emissions warranty in their owners manual. Looked online and youtube to discover this problem is not just me and frequent with others. This can really cause a horrible accident. Luckily I'm a cdl driver and was able to safely get over on the shoulder this time. I'm not confident replacing the throttle body was a fix as it is a bandage to happen again at any point in time. This truck now is compromised and I wouldn't want any of my family using it or depending on it.
