  • 56,000 miles
Engine failure - limp mode - this is a known problem with the Ford F-150 ecoboost that Ford and NHTSA have yet to address/ issue a recall. I have owned this truck for less than a month and it has twice now gone into 'limp mode'. merging lanes on the highway and the engine failed, a complete loss of power and ability to accelerate. I was able to avoid a terrible accident and get to the side of the highway. After reading hundreds of complaints online from other F150 owners I was able to see that the dealerships and Ford know about this issue, but have yet to address it. I checked the spark plugs and they were from the factory, yet gapped incorrectly as others have stated. The throttle body also will have to be replaced. This is horrible practice by Ford and NHTSA should address the thousands of complaints on the issue. This is going to kill someone eventually. I will be getting rid of this truck immediately and getting a reliable truck like I had previously.

I was merging onto the highway and when I went to accelerate my truck lost all power and decelerated and a wrench icon appeared on the display. I pulled over luckily safely without causing an accident turned my truck off and back on and did not experience this issue again. This is the 4th time this has happened. Hopefully my family does not get harmed with this vehicle it is only a matter of time until someone does with this issue happening.

F-150

  • 90,000 miles
Bought the vehicle with less than 14,000 miles. Before 30,000 miles had a small rattle when starting. Always followed scheduled maintenance. At 92,000 miles code P0016 comes up. Took it in to get looked at was told timing chain is stretched and all 3.5 liter eco boosts from 2011 to 2014 have defective timing chains but Ford hasn't recalled it yet. Apparently they have sent bulletins to technicians on it, admitting design flaws. Why no recall!?

This vehicle has shut down during operation on several different occasions. The first, was a minor repair. The second, caused over $11,000 in damages, and now it has happened again. Each time it occurs, the loss of power causes a decrease in the ability to steer and all systems shut down. With our children in the vehicle, we have been in fear for their lives as we have had to quickly steer the vehicle out of the lane of traffic and hope that we are able to come to a complete stop.

1) due to a poor design, myself and multiple others users have had issues with faulty / poorly designed coolant hoses. These hoses would randomly disconnect or spill coolant. Currently, my truck is leaking coolant and even after replacing the hose, it is still occurring. See below link to thread: - https://www.F150forum.com/F70/2011-5-0L-coolant-leak-252081/ 2) it is a common issue for the back window to randomly blow out due to issue with design the heated windows. This could cause a hazard since the driver could be distracted when the window blows out. See below forum issue: - fordauthority.com/2017/12/another-Ford-F-150-owner-claims-the-rear-window-shattered-despite-no-impact/ - https://www.F150forum.com/F38/exploding-rear-window-145329/ photos are in the forums.

Having lots of problems with misfires. Engine shakes and shutters during idle. If I try to pass a car on highway the truck will go iino a severe shake and then will not accelerate. Goes into limp mode and engine light comes on. Have to pull over and shut the truck down for a couple of minutes and then start back up. This is a constant problem. More pronounced during rainy days. Have replace coil packs spark plugs map sensors and still have not solved problem.

I took my truck to oil change next day I noticed some smoke from the hood, I think, is just some oil spill somewhere and it is all. But the smoke keep appearing every morning, I start using the heat and the smell of oil burning was inside, so I stopped and check what is going on I don't see anything, so I decided to take back to the dealership so they can check what is going on, before I make to the dealership the engine light starts blinking and the truck shaking when I get there I splain everything to the guys, they check everything and tell me the turbo has a like. They supported getting the truck fixed on next week, let's see how everything turns.

When I am driving, and I attempt to accelerate(press gas pedal) the engine loses power. I then have to coast to a stop and put vehicle in park, turn engine off and restart, and drive on. Sometimes it does it again.sometimes it doesn't. it's does it when I'm on road ways. Dangerous it happens in traffic.
