While driving at both high speeds and low speeds, we have lost acceleration ability. A large yellow wrench appears on the screen. We have to pull the truck over by coasting to the side, put the rough running truck in park, turn the truck off, wait, and then restart the truck for the acceleration to work again. We have had the throttle body replaced 2 X's in the last year and it continues to do it intermittently. Unfortunately the dealer says they can not recreate it and it does not come up with a diagnostic code they are not able to help us with the issue. I called Ford after looking it up online and saw that there are many of the same occurrences happening with others out there. They stated there is not a recall and basically I needed to just keep trying at the dealership level. This is not a new problem and has been happening for the past year and a half!
Truck unexpectedly stalls. Error code is P2112. Throttle body failure. I have installed 3 throttle bodies during ownership. Complete loss of power during driving. Engine stutters, continues to run very roughly, with complete loss of power. This has happened while towing a rv trailer as well as normal driving. Extremely dangerous to experience.
While accelerating to pass engine lost power and began to shutter check engine light flashed several times and finally cleared all power was restored. This has happened several times since I've owned the vehicle. This was the first time the check engine light flashed. This causes safety concerns. It had 98,000 miles on it the last time it happened.
The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. When the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to pick up speed and stalled. The contact had to coast the vehicle over to the side of the road and restart the vehicle. The second time the vehicle stalled while driving over 50 mph, and the oil indicator illuminated. The vehicle was unable to be restarted after coasting over to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to a dealer (levittown Ford, llc, 3195 hempstead turnpike, levittown, NY 11756, (866) 421-1288) who replaced the fuse and re-wired the fuse box per a tsb. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified and stated that they would follow up with a response within 48 hours. The contact wanted to know why a tsb had been issued and if the dealer stated this was a known issue, but there was no recall issued yet by the manufacturer. The approximate failure mileage was 19,600.

Timing chain rattle on ecoboost engine, I believe Ford issued a bulletin on it, I feel it should be covered under recall, makes a horrendous noise on startup everytime, and its very expensive to fix. The engine feels as if it is about to fall out on startup its that loud, shakes the whole truck.
The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. While driving approximately 10 mph, the low oil pressure warning indicator illuminated. Shortly after, the vehicle stalled. The contact restarted the vehicle, but the failure recurred approximately four miles later.

The contact stated that the failure recurred approximately four times while driving various speeds. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired a second time. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000.
Now the second time in and the truck doesn't even have 50K miles on it. Truck would turn over but not start and left my wife and kids stranded in a parking lot where I had to go get them. It's hot as heck in June/July in Texas so I know it isn't a cold weather start thing. Researching online we are not the only ones with this problem. Eventually leaving it there and messing with the key and ignition switch I'm assuming it started after a few hours. The truck was not over heated.
Stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise up hill conditions or hard acelarecion eqped with 3.5L ecoboost and engine light flashes. Very dangerous in the highway becouse my the truck engine stops working and you have to pullover right away if you luky.
3.5 eco-boost engine on two occasions put me in an unsafe condition by causing a loss of throttle response. Each time this happened a "wrench icon" flashed with a loss of power. No throttle response until the engine was shut down and restarted. When these incidents happened I was towing a trailer at highway speed and had a difficult time pulling out of traffic onto the shoulder. Each time this happened a trouble code of P2112 was set and the cel came on. The throttle body had to be replaced each time. The first time this happened I had 23131 miles and Ford replaced the part under warranty, the second occurrence was at 45558 miles and I had to cover the cost for replacement. With the loss of power at highway speed this could lead to a serious accident in not being able to move out of the way of traffic at a critical moment. The Ford service managers can't give me a reason why this part is failing.
I excelerated from a stop, suddenly my check engine light started to flash and I started to lose power and acceleration. My vehicle then began to shudder, I let off the accelerator pedal and moved to the side of the road. After about a minute the engine light turned itself off and the full power came back to the truck.
As I am driving the 2013 Ford F-150 raptor 6.2L the gears seem to be off, if I am driving only 30mph the gear is at 6. also the more dangerous and scary thing is that it shifts down without any warning, I was traveling about 35mph and the gear seem to shift down to 1 locking my rear tires and making me skid almost causing the vehicle behind me to run into me. The tires locked almost as if I put the brakes on. I'm glad I was only going 35mph but what if I'm going 80, this would be a more dangerous and scary scenario. It also happened when I turned on to a street and as I started to accelerate it dropped my gear to 1, locked my wheels and acted like it didn't want to shift or accelerate, I pulled off to the side of road, I sat there for a few minutes wondering what happened and went on my way nervous if it will happen again, which it didn't and made it home. Next day I took to Ford and they said they cant duplicate the issue so there is nothing we can do. This is scary, I don't fell safe with me and my son in this vehicle. What could be causing this dangerous situation? what is my next opposition to get this fixed. Thank you
Driving on interstate at roughly 70 mph with cruise control engaged, truck lost power and started to coast. Speedometer swept to 0 indicated speed, tachometer indicated engine at idle speed, around 1000 RPM, while coasting from 70 mph slowing to roughly 40 mph. Vehicle regained powered drive briefly then again lost power and coasted. After resuming coasting, the back tires then breifly locked up, vehicle shuddered, then resumed coasting. Extremely dangerous as vehicle being driven in traffic on interstate and became nearly uncontrollable. Explanation from dealer service department was that the wiring harness from transmission to ECU passes through firewall through a grommet that is known to fail. The wiring chafes and causes a short and the transmission to malfunction. Apparently a tsb is issued for repair at customer's expense per dealer but I have not been able to find it. This appears to be a proverbial ticking timebomb for F150 owners and should absolutely be subject to a recall.
"takata recall" my Ford F150 truck 2013 was purchased in 2014 brand new. In 2017 January I had the sparks plugs changed and now again in April 2017 my mechanic has said that the sparks plug needs to be changed. I believe and gathering from what my mechanics is saying there is a problem with the coil? which is why the sparks plug in black for the second time. This all started from a problem with the brakes the tried flushing the breaks and same thing than they looked into the engine and changed the sparks plug (Jan) now in April same issue. Need help this is costing me money.
This has happened more than once driving on the highway 65 mph automatic transmission suddenly shifts into first gear all lights on rear end squelling, completely no control over vehicle, dangerous, dangerous
The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled more than twice and the wrench icon warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle stalled again before it was taken to a dealer. The vehicle was able to restart and the dealer diagnosed that the throttle body assembly needed to be replaced. The actuator control system was not closed and was faulty internally. The manufacturer issued service campaign number: 13N03 to address the repair that was specific to certain models. The manufacturer provided no solution. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000.
Driving down the road under high way speeds and something internal in the engine let go. Motor locked up almost caused me to get rear ended. Ford dealership said it was not uncommon for it to happen. Have about 85K miles on the truck.
