problem #2

F-150

  • 1,200 miles
When taking off from being stopped there is a thumping, clicking, snapping type sound coming from the rear of the truck. Not only does it make a noise but you can feel it. Truck was taken into the dealer for inspection and dealer could not find out where it was coming from. Updated 4/24/2015

problem #1

Mar 012012

F-150 4WD 6-cyl

  • 420 miles
Major safety issue with F150 ecoboost trucks. Hundreds of owners with this issue: www.F150forum.com/F38/2011-55-60mph-shuddering-possible-fix-128636/index145/ while taking off from T-intersection and turning left crossing oncoming traffic the truck started to take off then lost all power for approximately 3-5 seconds. This left my family and I sitting in the oncoming traffic lane on a blind corner. The truck did not die (I thought it did), I mashed accelerator to floor and truck did not respond whatsoever. My wife was screaming frantically at me asking what I was doing while I attempted to get the truck to move out of the oncoming lane. After approximately 5 seconds the truck regained power and accelerated normally. This has occurred 3X now and I am afraid to drive the truck but do and my wife will not drive it at all. Several other owners of the ecoboost F150 have experience this precise problem. Ford has done nothing to address the problem and has promised a fix for the last 3 months. While the truck has other major issues this specific problem is going to result in deaths. It's not a matter of if, but when.
