Truck would crank but not start. Had towed to dealership and they found fuse 27 was melted. Was informed that this was a known design flaw. The fuse was relocated to slot 70. Car did not but could have caught fire causing catastrophic damage and injuries to myself or others.

Truck lost power, nearly resulting in accident on freeway while towing a trailer. Left me stranded. Fuel pump fuse was burned out which is a known issue that ford released a service bulletin for. This is a safety issue and should have been a recall.

While driving at highway speed 75mph our truck shut down with no warning. A wrench light came on with no other warnings. No check engine light no warning went from highway speed to limp mode zero power almost got rear-ended trying to make it off highway with no power. The problem is the throttle body has oil intrusion on the dry electrical side shorting out the motor with OIL! FORD could care less until someone gets killed they will deny any issues! I also have pictures of item full of oil! This is a no warning problem and ford cannot diagnose.

I was driving home from work and speedometer stoped working. My truck downshifts with no warning. I don't know if this is a transmission issue. Would not show my speed also the gas gauge is always at half way. The truck is a danger and sits parked in my yard due to it being so unsafe. Why won't Ford fix their broken vehicles?

Pickup would crank but not start. Fuel pump fuse melted. This should be a recall. This left me stranded 350 miles form home for a 10 dollar fix.

- Midland, TX, USA

Took my vehicle in for 145,000 mile check. Informed the gas pump fuse relocation was not performed, started to melt. For the fix I was asked to pay $336. This an electrical and fuel issue. It is a known issue by Ford. Should this not be a recall, if it is a safety concern?

For about 1 year, the fuel remaining has been drastically uncertain. The standard dash gauge; the secondary instrument indicating gallons / miles remaining till empty; and the tertiary warning light indicating low fuel, are totally unreliable. Example: -??5 miles to Empty-?? is actually approximately 15 gallons remaining. Very recent, the tertary warning light has stopped functioning altogether. This may indicate an electrical short or other fault in the fuel tank / system. With a capacity of about 35 gallons, I could easily miscalculate fuel used and end up stranded in the middle of nowhere or in a dangerous part of a city.

I was driving my truck in north Georgia while towing a trailer under 5000 lbs. The truck was in cruis control at 68 mph and the truck suddenly down shifted from 5th to 1st. I got the truck off the interstate at a reduced speed since it wouldn't shift up. When this happened an orange wrench light came on. When I stopped I turned the truck off and the light went away. We fueled up and got on the road. Shortly after the truck did the same thing with dropping to first gear and felt like it lost power steering. We pulled over and detached the trailer. I then got back on the road and after getting off the interstate and to slower roads the truck did the same thing. Every time the truck did this it reset the lights on the dash. The truck then sat for 5 days with out being driven. On my way home the check engine light came on. On Sunday June 12th the truck was dropped off at banner ford in Mandeville louisiana. The mechanic advised that while the truck acted like the lead frame recall issues they will not do anything unless I can prove the truck did this. The proof is they need to have a code show up. However, every time it did this the wrench light went away when the truck was restarted. I was told by Ford that when this happens I need to drive the truck straight to dealer without turning it off. Since the dealer said they couldn't do anything I called the 1 866 Ford number. The CAS # with Ford is attached to this. There has been poor communication with ford toe through this. The dealer told Ford that I picked the truck up earlier this week but in reality I picked it up today because the dealer called me yesterday. The ford apparently the dealer mechanic never communicated with Fords mechanic to resolve my issue and told them I got my truck sooner.

While driving on a 4 lane busy street, my truck stopped running. It would not re-start. It had a full tank of gas, would crank over but not start. I had it flat towed to my home. It was determined to not be getting gas. I found a tsb on the problem and I had to pay for the repair from Ford. Fuse #27 was too small to handle the current for the fuel pump relay. It was a design flaw and I believe Ford should pay for the fix. This could of been more dangerous if I was on the freeway. I called fomoco and was told it was my responsibility. Does Ford have any liability ?

Pulling camper onto interstate, accelerated to merge. Truck shook, engine light came on and truck barely made it safely to the next exit. Pepboys replaced #2 coil. Made it the rest of the trip. Unable to tow camper or accelerate normally, as truck shudders and slows significantly in residential and interstate speeds. Ecoboost seems to be an issue with this particular model truck and engine, so I have to take it to Ford. I've already had to replace the transmission around 66,000..

Electronics in the throttle body cause a computer fault while driving, which results in the engine (3.5 L twin turbo V-6) instantly going into limp mode, where the engine produces no power. This sudden loss of power is extremely dangerous. It happens with no warning. It can happen while attempting to accelerate through an intersection with oncoming traffic. It can happen at freeway speeds where the sudden deceleration can cause a collision, and where there is no place to pull over safely. This fault is very common in Ford F-150's and Ford automobiles. It has been a problem ignored by Ford and the NHTSA for years! it should be the object of a recall! I replaced the throttle body on my F-150 at 75,000 miles. Now, 25,000 miles later it needs to be replaced again! this is ridiculous, as well as expensive! please, make Ford stand behind their dangerously flawed product!

3rd time this has happened, pressed gas pedal to accelerate onto highway. Gas pedal was stuck in down position with engine revving. Held brake to slow it down, picked right back up when let off. No floor mats where near the pedal, and tapping the brake didn't disengage it. Was stuck for several minutes at dangerous speeds

Goes into limp mode at intersection very dangerous throttle body

Truck went into limp mode in traffic and almost had a wreck before I could get off freeway.

- Arlington, TX, USA

I had the wrench light come on while I was driving and didn't have much of a problem at first. Then a day later when I was going to work, I turned the truck on and pushed the gas and the light came on and I could not accelerated at all. My RPM's would not climb. I had to let my truck start to go on its own then my gas peddle would finally catch and my truck would go. Later that day I was driving home from work, going about 40mph, and my vehicle went into limp mode. I had to pull over and restart my truck. It did like 3 times on the way home. What I don't understand is how as soon as I start my truck, with it still in park, and hit the gas the light illuminates and the trucks rpms don't work. This is one of many problems I have had with this truck. The A/C is a whole other topic.

We own a Ford F-150 3.5 L ecoboost V-6 king ranch pickup truck. Truck was purchased in 2014 new. Have serious concerns as the vehicle has so many current issues. From day one of purchase and while still in the dealership parking lot, upon start up there was a very loud clattering sound. Sales rep said it was because it was cold and it had been sitting. Purchased vehicle, had problems immediately with dangerous lag in acceleration (which we still do), an average of 12 mpg if we were lucky and very serious engine misfires with major decrease in power accompanied by sputtering whole vehicle shuddering while trying to merge on the highway or with hard acceleration. Very dangerous, especially if in the fast lane, which we were. We started to limp over several lanes of traffic to the shoulder and the truck regained power. Many misfires like this, all explained to the Ford service tech and verified on the trucks computer. So many in fact it was necessary to replace all spark plugs at less than 57K miles. We just picked our truck up today, Feb 18th, 2020, after it was in the shop again, this time for 12 days, to fix this misfire problem again and numerous other issues with the front hubs staying locked in 4 wd while in 2 wheel drive and switching in and out, timing chain replaced, and the ecoboost turbo tubes replaced as they were cracked, iwe replaced, and left front actuator. Also about 3 weeks ago it had transfer case motor replaced as well as numerous switches, all which did not correct the problems. My husband and I decided to take it on the highway to see if the lag misfire problem was fixed. When he hit the gas there was a screechy sound from the top of the engine, power seriously decreased once again on the highway and the check engine light was back on. I sent an email to Ford and auffenberg Ford in ref to these continuing problems.

This is related to tsb 15-0137. Although my vehicle has not failed yet, many have. My fuse #27 shows signs of melting and I will have to replace it with a larger fuse and heavier gauge wire at a cost of about $150 (including labor). It is a safety issue, as my daughter drives this truck with horses in tow. On several forums I have read that the engine shuts off while driving due to failure of the fuel delivery system. No power steering or brakes, which is a real problem with a 120 pound 20 year old at the helm with a horse trailer! the truck has just over 100,000 miles on it. This is a known Ford defect that causes a safety issue, and Ford should be paying this cost so that there is no financial impediment to safe operation of the vehicle within its planned useful life.

Wrench (check engine) comes on for unknown reason and vehicle looses all throttle ability! has come on 7 times. Has occurred driving at 25 up to 65 mph. Today I was in the fast lane wrench came on and shut down throttle. I managed to cross 3 lanes in traffic. Each time this has occurred I've stopped and shut off the engine. The restarted & runs fine. Taken to Ford as well as private mechanics but no codes saved. Has happened 6 times. Ford told me they cant fix without a code.

I went to start the vehicle and it would crank B ut not start. I found that a very common problem with this truck is the fuel pump fuse. I located this fuse and found that it was in fact blown, and melted in half. Ford has created a repair for this, because it is such a common problem, but has not issued a recall. This needs to be repaired by Ford for the customers at no charge.
