The vct solenoid has been listed as a problem on a large number of Ford engines but Ford will not recall. The issue causes the engine to drop in idle and stall. My mechanic said he has changed hundreds in Ford engines. This is a safety issue when a vehicle stalls without waning

The truck was running for about 15 minutes. We were going down a major highway in one of the passing lanes at approximately 70mph then without any warning power was lost. On the display trac stability came on then cycled thru hill assist and several others. I drifted of the road just past a exit. The engine felt like it was missing terribly as it cycling thru these errors. I shut it down and restarted it seemed ok, but check engine light still on, when I tried to move it started to shake and cycle errors again. I shut it down again and restarted this time it was running ok. The check engine light was still on and we drove with thecheck engine light for approximately 400 miles stopping and shuting off engine several times.light still on. Stopped for 1 hour to eat when restarting no check engine light on and has been working as normal today.

In early September of 2019, I was driving my 2015 Ford F-150 on a major highway at about 65 mph. Suddenly, the vehicle stalled and lost all power as the dashboard lite up with some kind of traction warning. I drifted to the side of the road and put it in parked. The whole vehicle shook significantly at this point. I turned the vehicle off and waited about 2minutes. I started the truck up and went on my way with no problem. (note: This incident was a serious safety issue as I was on a major roadway in heavy traffic. My 10 and 8 year old grandchildren were in the back seat). A few weeks and a couple hundred miles later, I was on a narrow mountain road going about 45 mph when the exact same thing happened. I took the truck to the Ford dealer after both occurrences, but they could not find anything wrong with it, and said there was nothing they could do. I'm reluctant to drive it as this situation could cause an accident. It only has 42,000 miles on it and I use it to tow my travel trailer. I was not towing the trailer when these incidents occurred. I saw on your web site that several other people have had similar issues with the Ford F-150. Is there anything I can do about this? note that I bought the truck new in 2015 from the same dealer that I took it to for service.

Driving on freeway at 70 mph when all of a sudden vehicle enters limp mode which decelerates to 30 mph in the left lane - car in back of me had to slam on brakes and swerve to avoid hitting me. The wrench and limp mode warning lights illuminated. I was able to get to the shoulder and restart the vehicle. My truck did not regain accerlation and I had to have a tow truck take it to the dealer - I found out today it was the throttle body which sounds as if this a very common issue but with no recalls. I can't imagine what would have happened if that little car in back of me would have rear ended me, he would have been killed for sure.

I purchased my 2015 F150 about a year ago. There is a tsb for a valve on the top of the gas tank. Tsb states emission related with warranty covered. Ford stating it was built in Canada so don't have to warranty in America. Vehicle cuts out after stopping and then accelerating. How can Ford sell a vehicle to be used in America with a known issue and not be liable? this is a safety concern. Tsb 15-0171 engine code P2450.. part number involved is same on Canada or american vehicles.

While in motion, at highway speeds on a highway and sometimes slower speeds on town streets too, my truck would suddenly start flashing multiple errors and the throttle would immediately be unresponsive. In 1 second I was dead in the water. The truck would immediately start slowing down due to lack of propulsion and the engine would have a very low rough idle. The throttle would not work at any speed. The only way to recover control of propulsion was to come to a complete stop right where the problem occurred (very dangerous), turn off the vehicle and then restart the vehicle. After restart the problem would completely disappear. Until it happened again. This problem appeared 3 times in 1 week, all while the vehicle was traveling uphill. I was lucky to not be in traffic at the time. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they reported the vehicle needed a new throttle body, and that this issue was common and that a recall was not in place. The repair cost is over $500.

2015 F150 - without warning - driving at 30 mph on a road and the engine shut down. Hill assist came on along with skid anti-sway motion and a wrench appeared in the indicator light. Truck would not move. I turned off the engine and started it back up and it ran until I reached 45 mph on a 4 lane main road and the engine shut down and I had to coast to the side and restart again. This is a very hazardous situation especially if I had been on an interstate with multiple lanes. I am surprised Ford has not issued a recall on this matter. It happened suddenly and without warning. Please look into this asap - I have seen postings where other people are having the same problem.

While driving on a mountain highway (~7000 ft elevation) in Colorado, my 2015 Ford F150 suddenly lost speed and vibrated wildly before stalling completely in the middle of the highway. While stopped, the truck continued to vibrate. Various warning lights illuminated (check engine, hill assist not working, check manual, etc.) and I had to turn off my truck and re-start to pull off the road. The problem happened 3 more times within 2 hrs but this time I was able to track additional metrics (but I moved over to a secondary road with little to no traffic) to relocate to a safe location. The 3 additional stall events were triggered between rpms of 1000 and 2000. As I approached 2000 rpms and/or climbed a slight hill, I could feel the truck begin to loss throttle and if I did not back off on the gas peddle, the truck would stall. I am having my truck towed to a Ford dealership but I am at 36,747 miles and just beyond my warranty. I consider this a very danger system failure for a low mileage vehicle.

Randomly the hill start assist control error would come up. Additionally, service advance trac error would come up and the truck would go into some sort of limp mode with no acceleration allowed. Finally, the truck started running really rough. All these things would happen while I was in motion and or turning. I have been broken down on the side of the highway 4 separate times now. Everything is really random and can't be replicated. It's done this about 10 times now and the dealer has no idea how to fix it. My truck has been there for over a week with no remedy.

My 2015 3.5 F150 has been experiencing sudden downshifting at random times. Typically, it happens once every hundred miles or so and takes the gears from 5 or 6 all the way to 1 or 2 gear at highway speeds. It is scary especially since we are supposed to be pulling a camper across the West for a few months. First the dealership said that it was a throttle body issue so I replaced that. Now they are saying that it is spark plugs. Apparently, four out of six misfire at the same time randomly which they said would cause the downshift. However, I just had them replaced with new boots three months ago. The issue did start after a dealer transflush but I do not know if it is a coincidence or not.
