On three occasion over the past 12 months while driving our vehicle had a complete loss of throttle response. Causing the vehicle to slow while in traffic causing vehicles behind to swerve to avoid a collision. Coasting to the side of the road a blu wrench icon was lit up on the dashboard. The vehicles ignition was turned off then the motor was restarted with no difficulty. The wrench icon went off and vehicle ran appropriately.

Went to pass on highway in my 2013 F150 with a 6.2L engine, and the throttle stuck wide open causing me to accelerate up to 80+ mph. It did not decelerate for about 1 min. I had to avoid hitting other vehicles.

Ford F-150 3.5 V6 ecoboost stalls out at excessive speeds. While trying to overtake another vehicle the truck misfires because of the intercooler cools the air to cold to evaporate the condensation and hits cylinder four which cases it to misfire which then cause the engine to stall. Ford knows about these problems but does not notify the customer about the potential of it happening to people purchasing the vehicle. This is a major safety issues!

The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. When the accelerator pedal was depressed with excessive force, the vehicle experienced a loss of engine power. The check engine warning indicator illuminated. Mahwah Ford (55 franklin turnpike, Mahwah, NJ) diagnosed that the engine misfired and recommended a cylinder be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 57,652.

The fuel management system blew the fuse. I looked online and saw where many people have had this happen and Ford has a service advisory issued for this problem but charge the owner with making the correction to the defective wiring. They do not simply replace the MINI10 amp fuse but instead replace a part of the wiring and relocate it to a standard 20 amp fuse. When I explained my concern about engineering a fuel management system for a 10 amp rating and switching it to the 20 amp which could allow other parts of the system to overload he basically told me that Ford had decided this was how they would fix the problem but now I have the concern other components of the system failing and sure enough it was less than two weeks later the fuel pump driver module failed causing my vehicle to stop running. The service manager also told me I was lucky as he had seen total melt downs of fuse panels from this defect. This has cost me $805 in repairs due to a faulty wiring design. The vehicle was stationary at the time, once in a parking lot and once in my driveway.

Radiator fan turns on after approximately 5 minutes of vehicle running and continues to run until the vehicle is turned off. This started at approximately 60K miles. The fan turns on regardless of temperature outside the vehicle. It also turns on regardless the transmission temperature. The only consistent piece is the timing. The truck can be in motion or stationary.

Vehicle experiences hard downshift from higher to lower gears while driving at highway speeds on interstate highway, causing rear wheels to skid and vehicle to jerk. Vehicle looses power with RPM indicator on dash showing engine revving at or above 1,500 to 2,500 rpms while driving on local roads and streets. When starting from a stopped position the engine rpms will climb to 1,500 to 2,000 and the vehicle will no move. The wrench indicator has come on 3 times but goes off if vehicle is shut off and restarted. Additionally, the vehicle electronic control system does not store any codes to indicate the vehicle has experienced any problems. Have taken vehicle to local Ford dealer on 4 occasions only to be informed that no codes were present and vehicle did not act up while in their possession. Also informed by dealer that unless code is displayed during diagnostic test Ford motor will not pay for repairs unless code is displayed.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle would downshift into a lower gear and slow down. The rpms increased and the contact was concerned that the engine would blow a rod. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (watertown Ford Chrysler, 1600 9th avenue SE, watertown, sd 57201, (605) 886-5844) who offered to repair the vehicle at the contact's expense. The repairs were not completed and the cause of the failure was not disclosed. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not covered by any recall. The failure mileage and VIN were not available. *

While driving on a highway, I went to pass another car. The transmission downshifted, and the RPM increased, until the engine/car began shuddering and slowed down, with the check engine light blinking. I was able to pull off the highway at the nearest exit, and after a period of time in idle, the engine regained its normal idle speed and operation. Checking codes pulled up a P0302, indicating a cylinder 2 misfire. No issues were found with the spark plugs, coil or cables for cylinder 2. this is a dangerous failure that appears to be affecting other owners of this truck, and could cause potential for injury or death, if the engine stalls at the wrong time.

Experiencing timing chain rattle at startup (for about 2-3 seconds, noise comes from the front of the engine), as described in tsb 16-0027, after truck has been parked overnight or longer than 8 hours. Rattle is definitely mechanical sounding and sounds like the engine is about to fall apart.

Sporadic shifting. Transmission and/or oil pressure causes the truck to completly shut down on me when driving down the highway.

Truck has stalled many times I brought it to Ford dealership and they say they can't find anything wrong, but it still stalls. It's happened on the highway, county street, city street. It started March of 2018 truck has 50,000 miles the first time it happened.

Timing chain went bad I here it has been happening to lot F150 2013

Engine stalls out periodically. Very dangerous in heavy traffic. This happens every time while in motion not sitting still. This is the eco boast 6 cylinder engine. Has been numerous reports with others but Ford still won't issue a recall on these engines. It has 89350 miles on it. I'm going to change the plugs & boots this weekend but I'm sure that will not solve my problem. Ford is being stubborn on recalls. Hopefully no one gets hurt in these vehicles before they issue the recall. Thanks NHTSA.

Truck went in to "limp mode" while accellerating to get on highway. Vehicle decellerated. Wrench light came on. Vehicle was shut down and towed. Found throttle body and motor assymbly defective

Vehicle exhibited a crank non-start condition. Fuse 27 was examined and found to be melted. These two observations satisfy Ford's conditions of tsb 15-0137. Ford knows this is an issue with their design and offers a fuse relocation kit (el3Z-14293-a). The fuse was melted from poor fuse box contact design. Thankfully, this happened on startup and not while the truck was in motion.

Had to buy a new engine! the truck started running rough on the drive home from work on Friday, April 6. on Saturday morning, April 7, I took it to get gas. After filling my tank, the truck would not start back up. I had to have it towed from the gas station. Towed it to keller Ford, grand rapids, mi. Codes P0011, P0016, P0017, P0019, P0021, P0172, P0175, P0299, P0313, P0365, P0369, P0390, P0394, P0430 and P052C. The technician also performed a power balance test and a compression test, it was determined half the engine had zero compression and the other half had lowered compression. All of these results indicated the truck needed a full engine replacement. $7,650 for the new engine. A vehicle with 80,000 miles and only 5 years old should not need a new engine. A mechanic told us this is a problem and he replaces an engine on these Ford trucks at least a few times a month. We had the engine replaced at sulforce automotive, grandville,
