problem #18

F-150

  • 23,000 miles
Noticed during summer 2020 months the truck when idling at stop would vibrate and tachometer would bounce. Recently during July to September the truck when stopped would idle rough then shut down completely having to put in park and restart the truck! the last time it did it I was sitting at a red light on a city street and it just shut down and I had to restart the truck. This has happened 4 times since July. I took it to two Ford dealers and neither could replicate the problem and told me they could not fix it.

  • 4,788 miles
I was decelerating down a hill. I was still doing about 20 mph while braking and I received an error saying 'auto startstop shift to P, then restart engine' and my engine shut off and I lost power steering and brakes and had to coast myself to somewhere as close to the side of the road as possible. Thank god this happened on a local rd and not a highway. I proceeded to shift to P and restart the vehicle 4 times until it allowed me to shift to drive and it actually engage so I could continue driving. This is the second time it has happened to me and the truck is less than a year old.

  • 15,000 miles
When pushing the gas the vehicle whistles as if there is a vacuum leak, then when suddenly letting off the gas the vehicle makes a popping noise, similar to a backfire but muffled, as if it's coming back through the intake, this happens on all roads at all times, warm weather, cold weather, cold start and after a hot start. It almost seems that the truck doesn't perform as well as it used to, and the loudness of the noise has only been increasing, this 2019 Ford F150 has only used 87 unleaded fuel and is at 21K miles

  • 4,000 miles
Driving on a road and the truck abruptly shut off, displayed an error message on the screen showing "auto stop/start, put the vehicle in park and restart engine" ( I never use the auto stop/start feature) upon researching this error ( the dealership was of no help ) it appears this issue has been around since at least the 2018 F150 model. It's very concerning that this can happen while the vehicle is in motion and is a hugh safety issue as well as an accident waiting to happen.

  • 3,600 miles
On Dec 9 while taking off from the traffic light driving at around 5mph my truck suddenly did not accelerate.., the stability control warning light, brakes warning light and the airbag warning light came on. I almost got into an accident as I did not expect my truck to suddenly not accelerate. At this time the truck would only drive at 5mph. Drove to the dealer at 5 mph and they cannot replicate the problem. On Dec 10 it all happened again. Suddenly the truck will not accelerate and again almost got into an accident. Today for the third time it happened again. On each occasion the dealer cannot replicate the problem however they did remove codes not pertaining to the symptoms.

F-150

  • 11,500 miles
On Tuesday 11/5/19, we were traveling on a highway at around 45 mph when I decelerated to make a right hand turn onto a city street. I had accelerated back up to around 30 mph when I cross over a relatively smooth railroad crossing at a slight left hand turn. Immediately the information center on the console start displaying multiple alerts and the vehicle started decelerating. While the engine did not cut off, there was no power to the powertrain and eventually we rolled to a stop on the side of the road. The vehicle continued to fire alerts. The only way to stop them was to turn the vehicle off. The messages still fired so I opened and closed the door. I restarted the vehicle with no problem and the alert messages had ceased. I drove the vehicle back to the house (approximately 4 miles) at highway speed with no issue. We took the vehicle to the dealership then next day (26 miles) with no issue. Fortunately, our Ford pass app had captured all the alerts and, after a couple of days, the dealership replaced a gas pedal position sensor. We picked the truck up on Friday and it worked fine until the next day. We were decelerating from highway speeds on the highway to turn left onto a side road. We hit a small hump where the side road meets the highway and again the alerts starting firing and the truck lost propulsion. Again, the engine did not turn off and the only remedy was to turn it off and back on. We plan on taking the vehicle back to the dealership but would like for Ford to assess this problem as it seems to be beyond the dealership's capabilities to fix the issue. Since several of the alerts represented loss of safety functions including brakes, traction control, powertrain failure, and others we feel this issue represents a safety issue that Ford needs to diagnose and fix. Several of the F150 forums have shown other users having the same issue.
