The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that there were no recalls on the vehicle.

I bought this truck used. On 2 occasions it completely shit off with no warning. I googled and read that if the antifreeze runs low it will completely shut down until antifreeze is brought back to level. Recently I have used the vehicle more. I check the reservoir at least once a month fir this particular level. Everytime I have to add antifreeze. No evidence whatsoever of any leakage. Last month I did not check due to having a shoulder surgery so the truck sat unfriendly fir approximately 6 weeks. I used the truck to go to my local walmart store approximately a 9 mile trip one way. I noticed going to store the cooling fan cut on and stayed on. I looked at gauges and they were ok. After picking up groceries I cranked the truck . I pulled out of parking lot drove about a mile and noticed my check engine light came on. I started watching the gauges. The temperature gauge was slowly climbing to the hot range. I turned in the defroster and heater to pull heat off the engine constantly watching so I could make it back home. I live in a rural community and did not want to break down. I slowed my speed to 20-30 mph which did help keep gauge in safe zone. When I arrived home my husband checked the reservoir which was completely empty. He added 1-1/2 gallons of coolant. We let sit and then cranked the truck it is now back to running in the normal range. I posted what happened on my facebook page. I have discovered this is a very common problem with the 2013 F-150 and in my opinion very dangerous since there is absolutely no warning that fluid level has mysteriously dropped and evaporated and the truck shuts down and will not start until coolant is refilled. I haven't been stranded on the side of the road . . . Yet. . . But this is certainly something that should be investigated.

I have a 2002 Ford f150 that has headlights going off while driving. I have had it repaired only for it to reoccur. This is not a minor problem to me and the dealership that I purchased it from is unable to make a service appointment for a week. I have another vehicle but not everyone has that privelege and I have decided to service it at another location. Maybe my vehicle is the only one and it is just something that happened. But I am concerned for my safety. Thank you for allowing me to voice my concern. Llc.

Brought vehicle in to comply with recall. No problems previous to recall, after receiving vehicle back all problems started. Recall work was not done properly. Screws were not reattached to covering over fan belt, oil change and new filter were not done according to recall. Knocking started to occur in engine after vehicle was returned to me. Called dealership back to report the 2 screws missing anda knocking sound coming from engine. Was told to stop in on sat. To have someone put in the missing screws. Returned to shop noone was around to do the work. While driving the truck sat. The engine oil lights up. Had to find a store to buy oil and add to crankcase. Had to do this twice that night. The vehicle is now at the dealeship. I have been told I need a new engine. They will put in a rebuilt engine. I am not satisfied with this solution. I feel that they have ruined my truck and I won't feel safe and secure in it anymore. Please contact me so I can explain further.
