The coolant in my vehicle had leaked out at the first sign of unusually cold weather here in atlanta. I had to wait a week to get the hoses/orings to fix my vehicle because Ford co. Reported that the parts were unavailable because several thousands of vehicles that had the same failing parts were trying to order during the cold weather last week. Now that is is replaced, it is still leaking the coolant out. My mechanic says leaking this much coolant is a safety hazard due to it harming engine/motor and vehicle fire. The hoses and O rings last week that they put on may also be compromised., as they are leaking too. Sure would like to bring this to attention of Ford co.

  • 37,100 miles
F150 repeatedly lost all acceleration and power. The truck went into a very limited low power state and many near collisions were narrowly avoided as the truck rapidly lost all acceleration and glided to a stop.a red wrench symbol appeared on the driver display stating a "mechanical" issue. This happened 50 plus times on surface streets and 10 plus times while on interstate highways under normal driving conditions. This issue got progressively worse over a two-week period culminating in the throttle body assembly being fully replaced.

Loss of power in 2014 F150 ecoboost. The plugs were changed out at 30,000 and they were covered in oil. I have noticed the engine struggling more when I tow utv with sinlge axle trailer. The power is dimenishing with mileage. The oil (synthetic) is changed every 3,000 an its is spent. I would like to know from Ford why my truck at cold start idles ruff, decrease in gas mileage and noticed decrease in torque. This has been going on for a year and a half.

  • 46,000 miles
The vehicle lost power while driving at 75 mph on I-25 in New Mexico. It was very scary trying to pull to the right shoulder in traffic will no engine power apparently available. This occurred on two more occasions before the dealer could see the vehicle. Subsequently learned that what the pu did was enter the "limp home" mode. When the dealer finally looked at the error codes in the trucks memory, the cause was a defective electronic throttle body (etb). It's replacement has resolved the issue at least for now.

2014 Ford F150 ecoboost no power. I was stopped in center turn lane waiting to turn left across on coming highway traffic. After it was safe to cross I press the accelerator I discovered my F150 had not power. Gas pedal had no response. Truck would only move at ideal speed. Very close to getting T-boned. The service wrench showed up on the instrument panel. The truck had a very rough ideal as I creeped off the highway. I had the truck towed to the dealer that had just repaired the timing chain and cam shaft phasers the week prior. Dealer ran several tests and found no codes. They decided to replace the throttle body and motor assembly after checking oasis and found multiple hotline contacts with similar concerns. When pulling truck into service bay the throttle body stuck partially closed. I was very lucky to not get hit by another car when this happened to me. Youtube video (2014-11-02 -2013 F150 limp mode) by mike wiles shows exactly what happened with my truck. Please have Ford recall this part before someone dies.

2014 Ford F-150 looses power at random times while on the highway. Had the throttle body replaced in June of 2016 because of same problem. Contacted Ford and they said I'm out of warranty and I would have to pay for any service repairs. I do a lot of traveling with a trailer and it quit dangerous in heavy traffic trying to fine a spot to pull over. I was in the fort pitt two mile tunnel in pittsburgh when this happened last week. Screeching tires and horns blowing I limped it out of the tunnel. Where I found a place to pull over. What can I do? frustrated Ford customer.

Driving in heavy 5 lane traffic at about 50-55 miles an hour, in the 3rd lane from the right on I580 East. I accelerated to get into the express lane and when I was starting to merge suddenly there was no power. It didn't matter how much I pressed the gas pedal it had no power. The engine was still running. I had to quickly signal and coasted to the shoulder of the freeway. There was a wrench icon on the dash and a warning that the truck was stuck in 4X4. I turned off the engine and after reading the manual, I started the truck and all seemed fine until I tried to merge again and again no power from the gas pedal. I had the truck towed to a Ford dealer.

F-150

  • 65,000 miles
Entering the interstate and vehicle started to shuttere/shake and completely lost power any kind of power to the engine. The acceleratior wouldn't do anything. Warning light, an orange wrench appeared on the dash display. Vehicle would only coast but did not die. Was almost struck by a vehicle traveling at interstate speeds as vehicle wouldn't pull over fast enough. Vehicle decelerated really fast and it was terrifying watching a vehicle approached me and my child at interstate speed. Narrowly escaped disaster. Vehicle sat on side of road for about 30 seconds and power returned to vehicle.

I have a 2014 F-150 3.5L ecoboost truck.... it has approximately 72,000 miles that are mainly long haul and not short around town stop/start miles. My understanding is this does not qualify for repair under warranty. I have recently experienced a total loss of engine power without any warning. If I turn off the engine and restart then it will go back to full power for a short period of time and then cut out again. This is no fun making a right hand turn in rush hour traffic in the city... very dangerous in fact. This has occurred whilst driving on the highway, driving around the city and sometimes going up a hill. I am not a vehicle expert and do not know what is the cause. I visited Ford and even they were not sure. I will visit another dealer to see if I can get better information. My concern is about driving across town in heavy traffic and having the vehicle cut out on me again.

3.5 eco boost engine runs rough at times and when passing at highway speeds sometimes goes into "safe mode" and shuts down to idle when under full acceleration. Mileage is constantly going down, from 22mpg to 13mpg. Dealer says this is new to them.the dealer said they found tracks on the spark plugs and changed them, new plug wires were supposedly bad, replaced both turbos. Still no difference.I have a video of this happening with the eng check light coming on and after the dealer said there was no indication of this in obd2 memory.
