I noticed my 2011 Ford F-150 was running rough. I took it to the dealer and they diagnosed a cracked 3 cylinder head. In the beginning it was a blown 3rd cylinder head and was going to cost $5,000 to replace the cylinder and look at the rest of the engine. Ended up being a cracked cylinder. Now looking at a new engine to the tune of $8000. This has a 5.4 liter Triton engine with less than 137,000 miles on it. I bought it in 2013 with 500 miles on it. 90% of miles are highway. I expected to get at least 175,000 miles out of it. I remember hearing a loud pop while going down the road but thought it was a rock thrown up from a tire. The engine ran fine and I didn't notice anything. Until a few weeks later when it was running rough. I had the spark plugs changed at a little over a 100,000 miles as recommended. My belief is that the #3 spark plug blew causing the damage to the #3 cylinder.

I was driving and I had loss of power started misfiring shifting funny and I was almost killed by a large truck something needs to be done.

- Newnan, GA, USA

While trying to accelerate at high speeds, such as passing on an interstate or accelerating up an incline, the truck shudders violently and engine light flashes. If driver maintains speed, engine loses all power and engine light stays on. Loss of power at highway speeds is deadly. I was almost rear-ended while trying to accelerate up a hill in busy highway traffic. Truck shuddered and lost power for 5 seconds. The truck coasted until I could apply power again to the engine. Applying power caused more shuttering, but engine did not lose power again because I was closer to the top of the hill and not as much strain on the engine.

When driving the truck (what seemed like) shifted hard then the wrench sign came up on the screen and throttle would not work. I was doing 50 mph at the time and had to hit the hazards and pull over. Once I turned off the engine and turned it back on it seemed ok, pulled the code P2112 throttle body. Looked online and many, many people have the same issue. Can't believe this isn't a recall seeing how dangerous this is.

The timing chain belt was skipping, it would cause the engine light to come on while driving but then the engine light would go off the next time I'd stay it. This did this for as long as I had it. I mentioned the issue tho the dealer but when in the garage the engine light was no longer on and they would tell me nothing was wrong and no error codes were coming up. I've had this truck only 1 year 7 months and it started stalling out. I brought it to the garage and it was the timing chain.

The engine (3.5L ecoboost) has a rattle in the front region when started and at lower RPM's which was followed by the check engine indicator (timing chain issue). When driving in the city the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light and started to shake violently. The shaking ceased upon accelerating. The vehicle was immediately driven to a mechanic where we learned that the vct unit (exhaust side) had separated and a piece of the internal component flew outward boring a hole through the valve cover. We do not know where the projectile ended (hopefully not into another vehicle or pedestrian). It was also found that the oil was so low (from the hole in the valve cover) that it did not register on the dip stick nor did the indication alert notify the driver in the instrument panel. We brought the vehicle to a local kendall Ford dealership for the rattle/misfire issue before the vct ruptured and they gave the truck a clean bill of health after the replacement of a spark plug on cylinder #2. the misfire occurred when we were driving on a long highway 60mph and started to shutter and shake which almost caused us to crash (it already has the cac tsb fix installed). NHTSA should re-open the investigation on that because the fix did not work. It may have improved it, but didn't fix the problem. We have contacted Ford on May 4th about this issue and the representative said there is no recalls or alerts concerning our vehicle and we would have to fix it out of pocket. We are currently trying to work something out with the dealer. However, this issue when searched appears to be a very common one and due to faulty parts, Ford should in good faith offer a recall because for this fix, like ours, is about $2000 conservatively. Our vehicle has about 121,000 miles on it.

On wide open throttle engine misfires. Got it to set a code after another hard throttle.drove truck 1500 miles and got 21 mpg.after trip I took it to dealer codes PO300 0304 0305 0306.had tsb for problem done last June. Still has same problem.dealer states may be plugs. Doesn"T seem possible getting 21 mpg with bad plugs. They want 260 dollars to check plugs on one bank. Ford needs to get this problem with wide open throttle miss fixed before someone gets hurt or killed.tsb did not fix the problem. The newer trucks have a different innercooler system is the moisture causing bad spark plugs" what's going on here"

#1: driving down the interstate, attempting to pass a semi; vehicle lost power as I tried to accelerate and we had to coast to a stop. This has actually happened twice. The first time they replaced the intercooler and the second time I replaced the spark plugs. It occurred about three weeks after getting the vehicle it's regular service. If there was a problem with the gaps on the plugs, and they knew cars were losing power because of it, then they should have mentioned that at the service! #2: driving down the interstate and speedometer jumped around and went to zero. After I got off the highway, I lost power and had erratic shifting while trying to cross an intersection. There's a tsb out for this too!! why isn't there a recall if there's a defective part that creates dangerous situations!"!"
