Only 98,000 miles on this very well maintained truck. No engine issue, no issues at all, , and as I accelerated to pass a slow moving vehicle, which means my turbos kicked in, my engine blew up. There was a clunck and then nothing. There is actually a hole in my engine block. This never should have happened. This engine is not built to withstand the turbos. I am aware of this happening to 4 other people with the exact same ecoboost motor. I have contact D Ford and no one will take responsibility for this.

In 2016 I went to get recall repaired from franklin tn dealership I purchased the truck from, they refused, in 2019, they claim that the software was not available from Ford, online in emails to another dealer, I have not been told when to bring truck in to get all recalls repaired. Both dealerships are in tn. When in first gear, the truck will jerk back down and won't allow me to go to 2nd gear without pressing hard on gas, loud fan noise from the hood, breaks go to the floor and I have to pump to feel truck slowing down, air and heat continue to not work, air won't get cool and heat won't get hot, both dealerships have refused to repair or blamed Ford for not giving them what they needed to fix the recalls. I am documenting so my family will be able to give this to attorney. The down shift happens when the truck is in drive moving on any and every street, parking lot, stop light/sign. The loud fan noise from the engine only happens when the truck is started, the brakes have been going to the floor for 8 years at different times of the day/night when driving.

I have been hearing rattling noise most every time I start my truck for quite some time and had suspected it to be a timing chain issue after researching this on line and finding numerous others having the same problem. However, when I took it in, the repair shop couldn't find an error code. Until this past week when my check engine light finally appeared. Now it is in the shop getting the timing chains replaced at a proposed cost of $3,400! I, like many many others, believe this is a recall issue though Ford seems to be ignoring it. After losing a transmission earlier this year due to an official recall issue (output speed sensor (oss) failure that resulted in sudden downshifting to 1st gear at high speeds, which cost me over $7,000., I now face another $3,400 in costs due to another flawed component in my 2011 Ford F150. Looks like I will be paying for my truck a couple times! Ford should step up on this! I'd get rid of this truck if I could.

Timing chain stretch, code P0016

- Trenton, MI, USA

The timing chain was stretched and the end result is a bad engine. I purchased the truck in 2015 and only put 40,000 miles on it. The truck has a total of 110,000 miles. This model (ecoboost)has had numerous issues with the timing chain and Ford refuses to do anything about it because it's not a " safety hazard ". I did the oil changes always at the recommended time and took good care of the truck. I reached out to the Ford dealership I purchased it from and they will not help. In fact, I was told by the service department manager they were surprised this didn't happen sooner. This is a notorious issue and Ford dirty little secret.

Throttle body needs replaced after 120000 miles after car stalled into 'limp mode' going highway speeds causing a dangerous situation. Truck diagnosed at baxter Ford South in omaha ne and anderson Ford in libcoln ne. This is a safety concern when the truck gave no warning signs and just hesitated and slowed down with little or no response to throttling. There are hundreds of cases of this with the Ford F-150 2011. There have been other Ford around that year that have had throttle body issues. I don't know why this is. It a recall?

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!!!

Vehicle runs rough and throws a check engine light. When the engine is warm it runs smoother. After trouble shooting possible problems, it was determined to probably be a sticky valve. It is my understanding, there was a recall on this particular issue. I want to know if this truck was serviced and the issue corrected while owned by the original owner. If yes, it is broken again.
