I was headed home from work and my truck was stationary stopped at a stop light, and the automatic engine stop was active, with sync networked. A vehicle from behind ran into my 3 week old vehicle. The engine automatic start-stop sync started, and the engine raced to very high rpms. Throwing my head back into the headrest again. I had to press really hard upon the brakes to prevent my vehicle from slamming into the car ahead of me. At that moment my mind thought of the Toyota Camry acceleration problem years ago, and upon the vehicle returning to normal idle rpms, I double checked that my foot was actually on the brake. My foot was actually on the brake.

Same issues I'm reading here. Vehicle frequently makes a loud bang when started. Shifts gears extremely rough to the point where you're jerked around. No power when trying to accelerate from a stop which is extremely dangerous when cars are behind you or trying to accelerate merging onto the freeway. My truck has been to dealer twice now. The first time it was because my fuel injector went out at 4,500 miles! it doesn't run much better now. When I took it in they just blew me off and said it was 'normal behavior for the vehicle'. reading all these issues here, Ford really needs to take action! extremely dangerous!!

I have 2018 Ford F150 raptor edition and have had nothing but issues with it since purchasing the vehicle in November of 2017 brand new. Currently the engine is blown and it has been in and out of service for over 118 days since purchase.I was driving on the expressway, first day after getting truck back from 28 day service and the engine oil pressure light came on again which is why it was in service. I called the dealer and Ford and they advised to keep driving until they heard back from the Ford hotline. A week or so later it was broke down smoking on the side of the highway. In addition there have been numerous other problems.

Vehicle shudders and makes a popping noise form engine. Sounds like a misfire. Check engine light flashes on sometimes during this event. Also when cranking it misfires sometimes. This has been ongoing since I drove the vehicle home day one brand new.

This issue is happening widespead amongst owners of Ford's new 3.5L high output powertrain. Upon open throttle, the engine will instantly drop off all power, causing the truck to dangerously and unexpectedly drop to zero miles per hour. Very dangerous and life threatening while entering roadways or interstate roads with traffic. Upon open throttle, a "low oil pressure" light takes over the viewing area on the dash cluster and then disappears after restarting the vehicle. Upon restarting, the truck will fail and provide a "low oil pressure" signal again after applying open throttle. This can happen when taking off from a dead stop or under cruising speeds, when open throttle is applied, the engine fails and cuts off all power. It doesnt matter if you are turning or going straight, the issue happens regardless. Always happens under open throttle. This has become a widespead issue with owners of the truck from model year 2017-2018. Ford needs to respond and fix this issue for the safety of their customers.
