As I was driving down a major interstate I94 while changing lanes my 2016 F150 3.5 ecoboost entered limp mode in front of a semi I just recently passed. The semi had to slam on his brakes and I had to swerve to the side of the road to avoid a collision. The service advancetrac and wrench/service light was lit up on the dash. The vehicle would not move. The truck ran but when the gas pedal was pressed the engine sputtered and wouldnt move.

Then it went 2 miles ok, stopped for 2hours, back on road again at appiroximately 1 mile loss power again, I did same as above it di it twice more within 1/2 mile again, then it was ok for 1 1/2 miles then did again on a really bad curve, then I drove another 2 miles to my home and called 800 # to Ford, they tow truck pick it up took to my dealer, they had a week could not find anything wrong, they put approximately 50+ miles on it, no problem drove normally, called me to pick it up no way tell what was wrong without a code, drive till it happens again and call us, I said I'll call but if no code what happens then, no sense bringing back to you because no no can fix, no answer to that, give back the old days pre computer at least you could always fix those vehicles, with computer not even a clue. An they dare to put driverless cars on the road!! at the right time an location could cause a deadly accident!

We just took my 2016 F150 ecoboost to West Texas over thanksgiving. Towed under 7500 lbs. Towed completely normal the whole time (15 hours) until the return trip home. About 2.5 hours into my return trip (I was towing without my husband and with two young kids on a back highway with no cell service and absolutely no stops for 2 of those hours😯) I pulled over to see where my next gas station was and my truck died. It would restart but would die again. I finally figure I'm screwed, I'll try and just hit the gas and go. So I took off and blew through a stop sign and didn't stop until I reached a gas station, where it died when I stopped.. it was Saturday afternoon and all the repair shops were closed and there weren't any parts stores open. I finally unplugged the camper, thinking it was draining my battery and started it up and gassed it to get it going and didn't stop until I reached sonora and camped for the night, about 20 miles away. And then my truck was totally fine after that. I never hooked the camper back up and I had filled up the gas tank and put fuel injection cleaner into the tank and didn't have any more stalls. The only light that came on when it stalled was the battery light.

The transmission will not shift and will start to bog the vehicle down when going up a grade, stop and go traffic or pulling a light load. Steadily increasing the accelerator does not help the truck maintain or increase speed, only totally floor-boarding the accelerator allows the truck to speed up. The Ford dealer has checked the vehicle at least 3 times and said the computer could not find any thing wrong. The problem started with less than 6,000 miles on the truck and is not an issue unless in the previously mentioned situations. The problem has not happened when test driving at the dealership.

At 15000 miles the front differential bearings began to fail and contaminated the entire front differential. The differential had to be completely replaced. This could have failed on the road leaving me stranded. This was while driving on normal city streets and the highway.

The vehicle hesitates, idles roughly when cold and makes a knocking type noise at idle when hot. The coolant level has gone down substantially despite having it serviced recently. We have experienced large amounts of water dripping from the tail pipe along with the occasional puff of thick smoke. The vehicle misfires and it has been verified by a scan tool (my own and Ford). Ford's technicians have verified the concern but have told us that without a hard fault, they are not able to look into the problem further. This issue has been brought to their attention several times with no resolution. While it may be related or unrelated, the transmission also jerks when slowing down and has a tendency to lurch forward when going from 3-2-1 gears. This has also been verified by Ford and they have made two attempts using tsb 16-0015 to resolve without any improvement.

Driving 60 mph hour and vehicle suddenly lost all power. This happened twice. The vehicle hill decent light and some other warning lights would come on and the vehicle would shake violently. It would then lose all power and I had to coast off to the side, turn the vehicle off, wait 30 seconds, and restart. It would then go about a 1/2 mile and do it again. I purchased the vehicle as a certified vehicle a month earlier. The electronic throttle body has failed. However, the dealership was having issues replicating the issue and they were back ordered on the part.the vehicle has 29500 miles on it. This is dangerous as I could be rear ended. Believe me, if that happens, lawsuits will fly!

Truck was in park with the engine running. Nobody was in the truck which was on a slight incline. It was standing still in the back yard while I was trying to get the garage door closed. It took off going through a chainlink fence, across a neighbors yard, and came to rest on a bank on the other side of the neighbors yard. The fence and brush caused several heavy scratches to the truck.

The truck hesitates when shifting from 2nd to 1st gear.. this is causing a bump in the drive train. I've taken it to 3 different dealership for repair but they cannot fix it. When I stop I have to wait about one to two seconds before I can start back off. Its becoming dangerous to drive.

As I was driving about 40 mph, the truck suddenly decelerated to almost a stand still. Two messages appeared on the dash board info system. Service needed for hill assist and advance trac, or something similar. I had to drive home, half mile, at a walking pace which was as fast as the truck would go. There was no warning. This is a deadly flaw. How could you not have Ford F150 in your database?

There appears to be "slack" in the drivetrain, as if it has a bad universal joint. There is often a clunk when you step on the gas when pulling away from a stop. It was recently checked at the dealer while in for an oil change. They said they found nothing wrong with it. I read on an F150 forum site that this is a rather common complaint. The dealer has told others that there is nothing wrong with it. It happens often when pulling away from a stop sign but others have reported it also happens to their truck while cruising down the highway and stepping on the gas pedal.
