What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request" Timing system, yes. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Truck shuts off in the middle of the road. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, 5 of them. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Yes, by multiple parties. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear" Yes it did/does! The check engine light comes on now with the same symptoms it had before. The problems started less than a month after I got the truck. The first 10 to 15 minutes the truck drives fine then afterwards the check engine light normally comes on throws code p0022. It use to start rough idling with no light on at all but kills when I stop at a light or act as if it-??s going shut off when slowing down. The truck is sluggish while it-??s acting up, slow to pick up speed and it runs rough. The light will go off for 10 miles and be back on the next day but stays on. The remote start won-??t work. The dealer I purchased it from did a lot of work but nothing they did fixed the problem. On paper it says cleaning rather than what they really did. I know they cleaned the throttle body, replaced one of the battery terminals etc.,. The truck has had a full timing job, alternator, water pump and much more done to it. Money was spent on this and the truck continues to do the same thing. Received a diagnostic from yet another ford and they-??re trying to replace the same parts that has been replaced multiple times. The truck still isn-??t fixed and never has been since day one. It-??s just parts being changed and money being wasted. It-??s so much I can speak on about this truck but it-??s very frustrating. Attached will be some of the invoices that I have for the work that-??s been done on the ford f150.

TSB22-2089 Issue: Some 2015-2022 F-150, 2017-2022 Super Duty and 2018-2022 Expedition/Navigator vehicles may exhibit poor air conditioning (A/C) performance, loss of airflow and/or engine cooling fans running continuously from high A/C pressures. This concern may be from the evaporator freezing up due to the evaporator temperature sensor being biased. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure steps to replace the evaporator temperature sensor. Many vehicles are experiencing this same problem including my fathers truck at 20k miles, sometimes for others at, as little as, 500 miles, the problem not only causes ac shut off after 30 minutes of driving, it also causes intermittent surges of the front fan causing the fan to turn on at high rates of speed causing wear and tear on the fan. This must be assessed on vehicles with this engine and similar equipment

Started July 2023. No code ever shows when issue happens. Ford technician has personally taken it home (with our permission) at night then driven it back to work (last July) and couldn't get the issue to occur. When idling at a stop sign/light, the vehicle will vibrate then stall. Have to put the truck in park from drive, touch brake and push start button to get it going again. We spent $1700 in January 2024 where they replaced some computer program. This did NOT fix the problem. Yesterday, we went to Pensacola, FL from Foley, AL and it stalled 5 times when idling. In the 10 months this has been happening, we can go two to three weeks without it stalling, then it will stall 1-3 times in the same trip. Researched internet - this seems to be a common problem but did not find a common resolution. So for now, we are thinking this is an engine issue. We haven't received any codes for any other issues. Also, Ford had a recall on this truck model for random tailgate opening. WE did take the truck in for this recall. This too did not fix the problem. Our hands are tied. I'm putting yesterday's date and information. It started July 2023 after 4th of July.

Bad valve guide causing oil to leak past into the cylinder head. Bad smoke at startup and poor gas mileage. Motor needs replacement because it's cheaper than replacing the bad guides or cylinder heads.

When driving the transmission will shift to different settings forcing the rear wheels to lock up and sending the truck into limp mode. The wrench light will appear for a short amount of time and the truck will go back to running like normal. I was told by the dealer the Transmission Lead Frame needs to be replaced and my vehicle is currently in the shop facing a $1500 repair. I had the power train control module replaced a few weeks ago because the truck had similar problems but not to the extreme of what I faced yesterday [XXX].

exhaust manifold studs cannot support the weight of the manifold and turbo and end up breaking, ultimately causing exhaust leaks into the passenger cabin creating a toxic air quality inside the vehicle. Ford has redesigned the part to have an additional bolt as this is a common problem. There should be a forced recall with Ford to repair vehicles effected by this and install the upgraded part. I've received quotes from mechanics of several thousand dollars to repair this. Ford needs to take care of this. I have 75k miles on my vehicle.

The engine in my 2016 2.7L ecoboost F-150 overheated, while I was driving on the highway, without any warning that the temperature in the engine was rising. The temperature rose so much the engine cracked, resulting in a catastrophic failure. The coolant temp sensor came on when it cracked but the damage was done. There was absolutely no warning I was having a mechanical issue prior to the damage. I was barely able to get it onto the shoulder of the highway, with my children in the backseat. On top of that, Ford has made it impossible to find a replacement engine for that model. I have been fighting for months to find a replacement. The dealerships inform me they can't get a new engine because Ford no longer produces it. I spoke directly to Ford customer relations and they confirmed there is no replacement and are not willing to help me. My truck is currently at a mechanics shop and available to be inspected if necessary. I know of several other F150s that have experienced the same issue. Ford knew they had a problem with the ecoboost engine and have done nothing to fix it.

I have 79k miles on my truck. Its almost 8 years old. I was told by ford and by a ford dealership that my exhaust manifold was covered. Now they are saying its not. It is leaking exhaust into the cabin because its leaking exhaust fromt the engine. They want $5,000 to fix it. When I went online, I find out this is very very common. Shouldn't this be a recall for safety? Also, their own warranty covers emmissions up to 8 yrs or 80k miles. Thank you.

2016 Ford F150 Platinum 5.0L V8 with automatic 6R80 transmission. Erratic gear shifting while driving. Sometimes not getting out of/stuck in 3rd gear and sometimes not downshifting below 3rd gear. Orange wrench or illuminated MIL light came on followed by a solid check engine light. Took it to dealership - DTC P0720 and P0722 appeared. Dealership tech states that he reprogrammed the PCM and output shaft speed sensor, and that the next step is to drive it and see how it does and if it didn-??t fix the problem then he will have to change the molded leadframe. This issue is exactly the same issue as the customer satisfaction program 19N01. The safety concern is I don-??t want to drive it around, waiting for the leadframe to fail one day while I-??m driving down the freeway with my family in 6th gear and have the truck shift abruptly to 3rd or 1st gear and lose control. This issue is exactly like the 19N01 with the same 6R80 transmission.

The bolts on the exhaust manifold cannot withstand the torque and heat generated from the engine and turbos. The bolts snap and cause sagging and warping of the manifolds, which allow for unfiltered exhaust fumes to release into the engine bay and sequentialy into the main cabin. This not only causes carbon filled exhaust enter the environment, but it also exposes to passengers as well as any children in the cabin to carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. This is a known design flaw by the engineers at Ford, and they have released a second generation of the manifold including an additional bolt hole. There have also been aftermarket parts created for this with more bolt holes to match the amount of holes that are available in the engine. Being a this is a known design flaw and increases environmental and personal risk, should be formally acknowledged by Ford and a recall should be administered at the cost of the company.

Vehicle stalls out at an idle. Several forum postings on Ford forums that owners of 2015 to 2017 F150 5.0 truck have had the same issues. Several users have said ford has replaced the VVT solenoid, and the issue has been resolved.

Saturday 2/10/24 my check engine light came on and it is throwing P2005/P2007 which is apparently really common. The intake manifold needs to be changed. The 1st place I looked they have been waiting over a year for parts and it is a pretty expensive repair for something that is well known and very common. It causes idling issues when stopping and other people reported no power when taking off which could be a huge safety issue. I am not sure how FORD can have an issue this big and it not be recalled.

- Austin, TX, USA

Check engine light just came on. Before that engine would shutter then stall. No steering and brakes could end up poorly. Think this is a safety hazard
