No power at all to car. Hook up battery charger and battery almost immediately shows full charge. Vehicle electrical system back to normal and engine starts and starter turns fast. Replaced battery and still happening.
The fuel pump relay and power fuses both melted which has caused starting issues and engine misfires. There are many reports of the same fuses melting in ages 2010 -2014 of the same Ford F-150 trucks. This should be under a Ford recall program as it caused trucks to loose power.
VEHICLE DISPLYS SYSTEM TURNED OFF TO SAVE BATTERY. THIS IS SYNC MESSAGE. VEHICLE WILL CRANK BUT WILL NOT START. AFTER THREE DAYS BATTERY IS COMPLETLY DRAINED OF POWER. NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED. MADE NO DIFFERANCE. VEHICLE WILL CRANK BUT NOT START. ATER THREE DAYS BATTERY IS DRAINED. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ALL WORKS. A/C WORKS. RADIO AND WINDOWS WORKS. LIGHTS WORK. ALL FUSES WORK.
Just a couple days ago I noticed that my 2011 F150 was hesitant on starting when I turned the ignition with the key, immediately this error message would appear on the screen; "ignition fault" or something to that effect. I tried the process again and the vehicle starts. I find it very strange and frustrating. The truck only has 58,000 miles. This happened 4/14 and 1/15 2015.
On 10/24/2014 I tried to start my 2011 Ford F-1500 Ecoboost with 2986 miles on it, purchased new. When I turned the key it did not start, the engine would not turn over. I tried again and it did not start until I released the key and started to get out of the truck, then it started on its own, thinking that the key may have been stuck I paid it no attention. On 10/24/2014 I attempted to start the engine again, it would not turn over. All the lights, gauges, radio, air, soon worked and it indicated the battery was fully charged. After several attempts to start it over several hours it started.
I took it to the dealer on 10 /28/2014. they kept the vehicle for 3 days and said they ran a diagnostic and electoral check and found nothing wrong. I drove it for several days and everything worked OK. I didn't drive it for several days after that. I tried to start it on 11/12/14 and the engine would not turn over, everything else seemed to work. I contacted the dealer and was told they could have it towed in but wanted me to know the warranty had expired on 09/28/214. (How convenient) Only a little over 2900 miles on the vehicle, I went ballistic, should not have used so many adjectives in describing my thoughts.
In short the vehicles engine will not turn over, tried everything I could think of.
HAS ANYONE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM? and do you know anyone that may want to buy a slightly used 2011 Ford F 150 with very low millage, it has only had one owner.
