While towing with my 2.7 ecoboost the engine stalls and dies after running on highway and pulling in to stop(usually at a gas station). It starts back up but dies when put in gear. I can only get it to run by revving the engine and quickly putting it in gear and giving it gas quickly. It seems to only do this when towing.

Like many, many other owners of the 3.5L V6 ecoboost F150 I'm experiencing a rattle noise when I start my vehicle. The noise only occurs when the vehicle starts, and only lasts for a few seconds. Online research leads me to believe it's related to the timing chain and timing chain components. At just 41K miles, I'm barely past the factory warranty period and will likely be forced to pay upwards of $4,000 for repairs. Here is a link to a youtube video that captures the same noise/issue I'm experiencing: Https://youtu.be/bvs16U_uxmw

We were stopped at a signal on a busy highway and the vehicle completely died in the middle of the road leaving us in a dangerous situation unable to escape the heavy traffic. A tow truck pushed us off the road until we could be towed. It turned out to be a faulty starter (truck has ecoboost). I contacted Ford via chat, and they basically did nothing. Our lives were at risk and they need to have their starters in ecoboost vehicles investigated. This is ridiculous to make a vehicle that can for no reason just stop dead in the middle of a road through no fault of ours.

After towing for more than 300 miles the engine will die every time I come to a slow down or stop. It will restart only to instantly die again unless the throttle is pressed revving the engine and dropping it into drive. This is very dangerous especially towing at busy intersections when stalling out can lead to getting T-boned. This only happens towing and never gives a code so Ford says they can't fix what they can't see.

Vehicle will abruptly change first gear in the morning causing a whiplash movement. After that first abrupt change it operates normally. Also occasionally, while on a hill the vehicle will turn off due to the stop/start function but it will not turn on.

I have 22,500 miles on this 2017 Ford F150 3.5 ecoboost. It has started throwing a code of po4db crankcase disconnect. I have been researching and there are a lot of Ford products having the same issue. This code make engine light come on and stay on. It appears it's in the computer system, is my understanding. Sitting still, driving it doesn't matter engine light stays on.

Today was the worst of the 4 times that this same situation occurred. I was driving in traffic on the highway in downtown atlanta when I accelerated and switched lanes to pass a slow moving vehicle. The truck accelerated fine but would not stop accelerating when I removed my foot from the gas peddle. I had to break hard to avoid hitting another car. As soon as I removed my foot from the break, the car engine revved up and accelerated forward again even though I was not touching the gas. This went on for almost 5 minutes and was very scary. I could have easily had an accident. At first, thought is was the cruise control kicking in but it was off. Each of the 4 situations occurred when trying to pass another vehicle. I reported the problem to my dealership back on August 12th when it happened the 3rd time. They could not find anything wrong. I know there is a very dangerous problem with my truck and need to find a solution before I or someone gets hurt.

Engine rattled at startup and lacked power. Dealership replaced a stretched timing chain stretched and cam phasers needed replacing, all under a tsb which was not intended for my 2017 F150... but for MY15 and older. Engine runs fine now, but Ford customer care would not comment on it or provide clarification on if replaced parts are any different or better to prevent same issue. Concern that timing chain could stretch and cause catastrophic engine damage next time.

Driving from California to Oregon through Nevada on interstate when vehicle started to overheat Nevada dealer would not even look at the vehicle. Informed Ford Motor Company. Continued to Oregon and then on to bozeman Montana. Vehicle is now at bozeman Ford having the motor dismantled for diagnosis. Was told there is a issue with the number one cylinder, Ford corporation has not been of any help what so ever.

Rattle on start up. This truck sat for a couple of hours to over night and the engine sounded like a diesel for between 15 and 30 seconds. This seems to be a common issue with the truck engine the 3.5L ecoboost. A google search shows this is a very common issue and requires the engine to be torn down. The common problem seems to be the timing chain and timing chain tensioners. Ford Corp was absolutely worthless in supporting this repair. The dealer was absolutely wonderful. My truck was taken to the dealer on May 13 and I might get it August 16 or 17. Parts were ordered on May 15 and estimated delivery was July 31. That's unsatisfactory! Ford did not have any parts as there are so many engines being repaird for this issue.

While driving my 2017 frod F 150, 2.7 ecoboost engine with my travel trailer in tow. My engine stopped running as I came to stop at the end of an exit ramp. I was able to manually start the engine but it repeatedly stalled if I did not push on the accelerator. This problem persisted for several more stop intersections as I made my way home. I had been traveling back from a trip towing my tt and had maintained a speed around 65 to 70 mph. I had travel probably close to 200 miles since my last stop. Had no prior issues during my trip and at no time during the issue was I ever warned of an issue. No codes were stored. The only light that come on on the dash was the battery light when the engine stalled.

Upon cold start vehicle blows blueish/white smoke for approximately 6-8 seconds then stops. Does not smoke while driving and vehicle runs just fine otherwise. Took to dealership and they said it was a PCV valve stuck open and they relaced it.....that didn't fix the problem.

Cold cranking noise concerning ecoboost system and lifters...making loud noise and I am being told it's normal...plus clunking noise underneath my truck that sounds like the motor or the drive shafts is going to fall out...I am also being told by dealership that this is normal...I know better...the truck is defective and unsafe. Now they are refusing to address the issues.

On 01-24-2019, I stopped at a red light and noticed an odor coming from my 2017 Ford F-150 truck and saw some smoke coming from under the hood. A motorist next to me pointed to the bottom of the truck; I rolled down the window and he said he thought there was a fire under the truck. I pulled over, shut off the truck, saw a small fire on the frame under the engine. The other motorist put it out with a fire extinguisher. A state police officer called the fire dept. Who further extinguished the smoldering. The vehicle was towed. My insurance company sent an adjuster who concluded that the fire was caused by a failed pinon seal in the differential, which is part of the power train. The legal department of Ford Motor Co. (office of general counsel) stated that the fire occurred because the vehicle was driven on pavement in 4WD. I assert that this is not true and is a tactic of Ford Motor Co. To avoid honoring their product warranty or taking responsibility for a potential safety hazard.
