The first time the acceleration on my F150 stuck, I was on a country road. I was braking on a down hill to a stop sign. I made sure I was not double peddling and then slamed down on the brake peddle. I had plenty of space before the stop sign and slamming the brake regained the control. I did not report this to my Ford dealer. I did not know that it would be an issue. Approximately 4 months later the truck did it again. This time I was backing up and had my foot on the brake peddle again. I did not have enough time or space to regain control and I struck a tree, which stopped the vehicle. It caused major damage to the tailgate, bumper, light assembly, and passenger side bed fender. I parked the truck and walked away for several hours. When my husband went to move the truck, the brake peddle sank straight to the floor, like there was a lot of brake peddle movement and no brake pressure. I do not believe the gas peddle was sticking, more like the computer was accelerating when the gas was not engaged. My Ford dealership ran diagnostics that day and it had no code issues. Ford legal retained the truck and ran diagnostics again 3 months later and again no codes. Still do not have an answer to what caused the acceleration issue. Ford said there was no issue with the braking system. I would very much like to know if there has been similar occurrences with other 2018 F150's.

Ford automatic engine off at idle feature causes power steering failure when active. When engine reactivated upon hitting gas the power steering is delayed. This is a problem when waiting at stoplights for a turn., especially a left turn into oncoming traffic. Requests to Ford to allow deactivation of the feature as opposed to having to manually disable it every time I enter the vehicle has been ignored. This feature can be dangerous and there is no reason Ford can't reprogram the bypass. Instead they choose to ignore while allowing this dangerous feature to remain active by default.

When starting engine it will hit very hard sound like the transmission but in fact is chain tensioner. Took to dealer and they said that there seeing a lot of these issues with the 5.0 this needs addressed as I'm luck enough that it was still under warranty.

On two separate occasions (different trips) while pulling a 21' camper on the interstate at 60-65 mph, my truck would immediately stall when attempting to start it after getting gas. I would have to rev the engine in order to keep it running and then a prominent "clunk" would sound when I put it in drive. It ran rough initially but seemed to operate okay once moving and would once again die out if the engine was turned off and re-started. Let it set for an hour while eating and it's okay.

2,363 miles on the truck it downshifted on the hwy from 80 mph to 20 mph on its own, with a loud noise. Had to get in the slow lane so not to have a wreck. It is equipped with auto start, where the truck engine automatically stops at a stop sign or light and restarts on its own. The trucked shut itself off while in traffic and had to be put in park and restarted, almost causing a wreck. Took the truck back to the dealer again, when it made a loud noise and felt like we hit something when going 55 mph, the truck jolted we again got in the slow lane. Then when sitting in the driveway the motor started racing on its own not touching the excelerator. Had to turn off truck. We are afraid to take our grandkids in our new 2018 truck we are paying dearly for. The last time we took the truck to the dealer, they said there was nothing wrong with it. We are about to retire and wanted this truck to be our last, we have not even had it a year. We have done some checking online, we are not the only ones experiencing these types of problems.

5.0 V-8. my truck consumes over 2 quarts of oil every 2500 miles. Ford says this is normal. My truck's fuel economy in any driving conditions is never better than 11.9 mpg's which should be and was much better than this when I first bought it. My engine knocks. My engines whines and whistles. My engine is down on power noticeably on the interstate which makes driving the truck dangerous. All of this Ford says is normal. None of this is normal unless it was a 1976 pinto. This truck should be removed from the road permanently

My truck has 15,000 miles on it. The acceleration will run away frequently (press the pedal and there is a severe lag and lack of power). There will be random engine noise when decelerating around 45 miles per hour. Also, acceleration will be rough when going from 20-30 miles per hour just before the it shifts into a higher gear. I took this to the Ford dealer and they said there are no error codes on the trucks computer system. Also, the steering will be stiff or unaligned at random times. Please assist in getting these issues corrected.

The vehicle was stopped at a traffic light and the automatic engine shut off engage. When the brake was release the engine did not start and a message flashed on the information center. Can not quote you the exact message because it was morning rush hour and a line of vehicles were behind me anxious to move. The message was instructions was to place the vehicle in park and restart the engine. This resolved the situation but the engine should have restarted without having to place the vehicle in park.

There is an abnormal engine "rattle" noise when decelerating (letting off throttle) between 1000 and 2000 rpms. This has been a frequent complaint from 2018 Ford F-150 owners with V8 5.0L engines. Responses from F150 owners on various forums all indicate various explanations from Ford as to the cause from normal engine characteristics, replacing cam phasers, replacing solenoids, and buybacks. A tsb was released in November 2018 with no known cases on any related forums of the tsb correcting the abnormal engine rattle noise. I have hjad the tsb performed and the noise was continued to be present. The concern from myself and other owners is the unknown long term effects on the engine performance and/or life and a continued lack of response from Ford as to the cause or release of any fixes. The issue has been present since 1 week after purchasing the truck on November 21, 2018.

After towing a trailer for some miles (130 or so in this case) the vehicle stalls/dies after pulling up to a traffic light or stop sign. This repeated itself multiple times (7 in one town) and twice in another town before getting home. This happened with the auto stop feature enabled and disabled. System chimed at each occurence and indicated that driver should put truck in park and turn ignition key.

- Kerrville, TX, USA

After a period of towing a 5200# trailer the 2.7L ecoboost engine would stall when not throttling. Meaning, anytime slowing down or stopping the engine would cut off unexpectedly, forcing a manual restart. The truck did restart if the throttle was held in pushing gas and then throwing the truck into drive gear to move, however the throttle would have to continue to be pushing in order to maintain power. This occurred at 30+ mph in slowing down for accident/construction traffic as well as every time stopping for lights or gas. Issue occurred many times during trip, but only while towing. After disconnecting trailer and allowing vehicle to cool/rest for an hour issue did not return until after running with trailer being towed at highway speeds again.

I have experienced the gas pedal temporarily sticking and the engine has a miss. Also way down on fuel economy at 11mpg's. this vehicle is 3 months old and dealership says and (Ford corporate supports dealership) that I have to pay out of pocket for any engine diagnostics regarding my 5.0 engine problems

Truck shuts off when pulling a camper and will not run after restart unless you rev the engine and quickly pull the shifter into drive and accelerate quickly. The instrument panel shows 'auto startstop shift to P, them restart engine.' This has caused many near miss accidents. The vehicle will stall when you try to cross an intersection or pull away from a stop sign.
