The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. While depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to accelerate over 20 mph. In addition, the turbo warning error indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to sound Ford (101 sw grady way, renton, wa 98057) where it was diagnosed that the crankshaft and turbo booster needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 145,000.
The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. While driving 30 mph, the engine stalled and the maintenance warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart and resume normal operation. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (coconut point Ford 22400 S. tamiami trail, fl 33928), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 114,000.
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 took the vehicle to the D'orazio Ford dealer where it was diagnosed that a switch associated with the ignition failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. 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.
The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. While driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle stalled and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle restarted after one attempt, but the failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the rubber boot needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 29,000.
While driving down the highway, the vehicle flashed service advance trac, down hill descent control fault, trailer brake module fail and a couple more codes. All electonics in vehicle went blank, including all controls/gauges. Before doing so, last code read, shift to park. Almost caused me to have an accident, because the power steering went out and nearly pulled me into another vehicle. The acceleration is bad too, feels like it is not firing all cylinders again. Have already taken in for a number of issues, including crankshaft sensor issues(was losing power to driveline); brakes locking up (have replaced the rotors and pads six times and last time I replaced both calibers as well; power steering has been replaced once before, front axles and bearings replaced. As well as, ac problems. When the first issues arose, I was told by service tech at dealership I needed a new engine, (later he completely denied telling me this) instead they fixed some things and gave it back to me. Problems have continued since, like I said have taken it in at least 6 times to a dealer and once to an independent mechanic. At first the problems were covered by warrenty, now they are not, there is only 78,000miles on the truck and has been in shop at least 6 times and is only 4 yrs old. Not sure what to do, as the problems resemble recall issues, but dealership says they aren't part of any recalls. Concerned for my safety on the road.
Loss of power when I accelerate. I feared for my life, when I was merging on to the highway and a semi-trailer almost rear ended me because I could not accelerate to get up to the speed limit.
Driving at normal speeds, my truck loses power and goes into "limp mode" and the wrench icon appears on my dash. This has happened 3 times in the last 150 miles of driving. This could be deadly to me and my family!!! it has also happened a number of time previously as well. Sometimes at 55 mph, sometimes at 40 mph. From my research, this is a known problem to Ford and I don't want to be victim due to this causing an accident. I am now scared for my safety driving this truck!!!
Had the engine studded and drop a cylinder, this is an ecoboost motor, the check engine light started to flash while running rough.it happened as I was passing a tractor trailer on the highway, as I got around him another trailer was coming on behind me, this is when it dropped a cylinder, the trailer almost ran over me.this is a problem with this truck I found out once I did some research, Ford needs to do something about this before someone gets hurt or killed.I called the dealer the first time this happened, as far as the studded and he said bad gas keep driving it(59,500 mls). It happened again at 61,381, took to dealer and they did a tsb 14-0017 reprogram, this worked for about a week then it happened again, took it to the dealer 61850mls, they couldn't get it to do it, I picked it up and 20 miles later it did it again, I got it on video this time so theres no questions, seems as though they know about it but are blowing it off, let me get outside warranty then take a look at it.let me tell you if it happens again, and my family gets hurt I will own Ford !!!! thanks for you time.
