Throttle Body has failed 3 times. I am on my 4th one. 1st at 28k, 2nd 59k, 3rd 100k. Engine completely shuts down at high speed. Extremely dangerous, especially when towing. No warning given. Just stops running. Wrench icon appears on dash. Then engine shuts down immediately.
OK, the first problem would be that there was a fuse, apparently, that was engineered too small and eventually would burn up, making a bad connection, which would. all of a sudden shut your engine off. Mel, I was at highway speed, doing 6570 miles an hour, and all of a sudden my engine just cut right out. no power steering, no nothing. just shut right off wouldn't exactly call that a safe situation. Poor engineering second issue would be the fact that you have obvious engineering problems with the fact that they're putting carbon based steel parts or studs in the exhaust manifold that are obviously just going to rot away and it costs thousands to have that problem taken care of. Obviously you don't put that type of steel in an aluminum product because it's not going to last. It's everyone. Everyone knows this. So that's about about it. It's enough to **** **** the Pope. And I think you would have to say that it's a pretty it's a pretty important safety issue. It doesn't matter to me whether or not you know, it was within a warranty. or not. It's an obvious engineering issue or they're just they just don't care. It's the cheapest way to go so they don't give a **** They know it won't happen under warranty. So why worry about it? And that's about it, man. Don't count on me. Everybody in afford again.
Two issues. The first issue arose due to a leak in the "y" pipe under the air box. Upon replacing that connector, the throttle body had to be removed to get room to reinstall. Upon reinstallation of the throttle body, the truck falls into limp mode unexpectedly during normal driving, in traffic. Installed ned throttle body from parts store and still throws the p2112 code.
My truck stalled and died while entering an intersection. I was nearly broadsided by another vehicle. We both could have been KILLED. This is completely UNACCEPTABLE. Ford is well aware issue and has issued a TSB about it to their dealers. It is called a FUSE 27 in the Ford f150-??s and it causes IMMEDIATE LOSS of power and potentially control. The power steering and brakes are effected. Someone is or more likely has been killed because of this. Please do your job. Events like this that are KNOWN by the manufacture should be IMMEDIATELY addressed.
Vehicle will go into limp mode as if the throttle body is not working properly. I have to coast to the side of the road, turn off engine and let it sit for 10 to 20 minutes before restarting.
This has happened twice now. Driving to work accelerating after a red light and the truck losses all power, but stays running. To get it to operate normal you have to pull over shift into park, turn the truck off and wait a couple of moments. The truck will retire and drive like nothing happened. Trick has 78k miles and always maintained at local ford dealer
Vehicle got stuck in the snow. Tried getting vehicle out and almost had it free when I noticed the temperature gauge rising. I then shut the vehicle down and was calling for help for 10 minutes then noticed a flame come out of the engine bay. Yelled for my family to get out. Me and my wife rushed to get our kids out of the vehicle and down the road. The cab and engine bay are gone. I don-??t know what caused the fire but it needs to be figured out my family was endangered.
https://thedriveradviser.com/ford-f150-fuel-pump-problems-you-should-know/ https://Was traveling in passing lane, engine quits. Coasted to off ramp parked on shoulder under bridge. Need a tow to Ford Dealership 30 min away. AAA, did not get a tow, a nice Samaritan called the police to which we had to pay out of pocket for a tow which showed up in 10 minutes. (sent receipt for tow to AAA reimbursement 30 - 60 days). Dealership indicated this was in the mechanic notes, known problem for this FORD 150 ENGINE. Found in above url's Describing everything to a t of what the mechanics did to fix it. Would like to be reimbursed for a known issue of F150 Fuel Pump fix.
2014 F-150 engine shuts off, abruptly while driving. Burned F27 fuel pump fuse in fuse box. Ford states VIN [XXX] is not covered by TSB 15-0137. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Truck turn over no start. Ford forum fuse 27 issue. My fuse 27 melted, replaced and truck started. Tsb 15-137. Fuse 27 relocation kit. Forum stated dealer install is $400. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.
On 12-26-21 tried to start truck, It cranked but did not start. called for a tow to the dealer. while waiting on tow I looked up fuse information to the fuel pump. after locating fuse that controls power to fuel pump relay I pulled fuse and it was burnt on one side of the prong. I called off tow and got home and did some research for this problem seems 09 thru 14 this particular 20amp fuse is being over heated. I also found a service bulletin 15-0137 on a ford site, and its stating that a ( Fuel Pump Fuse Relocation Kit ) in which I have to pay $270 for. I believe this is fire hazard and a safety because if this fuse is blown while driving it will shut down the vehicle. I have watched several video's on this issue and believe it should be recalled do to the nature of the problem. There was also no warning nor any warning lamp on the dash to show an issue. made an apointment to the ford dealer for 12-27-2021 to have this relocation kit put on before there is a fire from this overheating of this fuse in the fuse compartment.
When driving, twice power has cut out with the vehicle without warning. I was also unable to start the vehicle on one occasion - it cranked but did not fire. Traced the problem to a melted #27 fuse in the engine bay, which is a known issue with these vehicles apparently.
Truck looses power and throttle response when accelerating into traffic or driving on the highway. My vehicle was nearly hit from behind when faster moving vehicles came upon it. And almost caused a head on collision do to vehicles driving around me. This has happened several times. Vehicle has a pending code p2112 but if ignition is turned off code does not store in vehicle computer. Took vehicle to Ford dealership but was told nothing could be done to repair the vehicle since the code wasn-??t stored in the computer
I was pulling a empty trailer and it started down shifting at 35-45 mph I had to put it in neutral while driving then back to drive to gear up it did it around 75 mph the first time and wi5H a trailer had to come to a haunting stop on a highway it's in the past hour done it 5 times.... this is not safe!
There's a known problem with fuse #27 overheating and causing the fuel pump to stop working. Do a google search. It affects many years prior to 2014. This is serious as it can leave people stranded. It has not thrown a computer code from 2014 F15. Simply replacing the fuse did allow starting but it will happen again. There's a fuse relocation kit (el3Z-14293A) available but Ford should be responsible for performing this repair. The fuse does'nt blow out but the fuse socket overheats for some reason.
While driving on a country road, the truck lost all power and service wrench came on. I pulled to side of a 2 lane rd and coasted to a stop. Turned the cr off and on again and code was gone. I drove for about 4 minutes and the truck lost power again. This repeated about 4 times as I was in a mountain area with no cell service. I had to to keep trying to coast as far as I could to find service. Finally after about an hour of stalling on the side of the road, I was able to get cell service and contact help. At 1am we got a tow to the dealer that just repaired the vehicle. They said the problem was unrelated to the service just performed and we had a bad throttle body. The item was replaced.
Vehicle shut down and went into "limp mode" 1st time it happened was 10/16/19 with 44K miles. Dealer scanned with no codes returned so they just reprogrammed steering module and vehicle seemed fine. It started happening again on 06/25/20 with 47.5K miles while pulling out onto main road almost causing accident and several times on the highway at 70 mph almost causing accidents. Took to dealer and scan returned electronic throttle body error, scan code P2112. Through advice we contacted Ford customer service and they were unable to assist in the repairs even though they had knowledge and admitted that this is a common problem. Ford applied an extended warranty for the same problem to several models up to 2013 vehicles, our is a 2014. We declined repairs at this time since we don't drive vehicle very often. Ford rep said to save our invoice for possible reimbursement in the future if a recall was issued. If we elected to have the repairs performed at a Ford dealer, Ford customer service offered to apply some sort of extended warranty for us in case of future problems. After driving this weekend the problem has not only persisted, but occurred more frequently than usual, mainly at high speeds making this safety issue even more dangerous. At this point, we have no option but to return to the dealer to have the work done. We still feel that this in not a normal wear and tear item. It is in fact a safety item that needs to be addressed immediately.
We had sold the house and were moving. Truck was parked in front of house with travel trailer attached to hitch. Preparing to drive away, and had no brakes. Checked brake fluid and had none. Took other car to purchase, came back and filled, and brake fluid all drained out. Had to unhook trailer and have vehicle towed. Local dealer replaced master brake cylinder and booster the next day. Spent $719 plus finding accommodations for the night, dealer said there was no recall at that time. Drove nearly 600 miles, and that night we lost power. Andhad to have the truck towed again. This time they said it was a defective throttle body. Had to stay 1 night in a hotel, then 3 more nights in an rv park waiting for parts, and spent $445 in repairs. Our move was delayed several days with all of this, due to a truck that had less than 60,000 miles on it, and has been well maintained. I since inadvertently found out that master cylinder and booster have now been recalled, but I have to physically go to a Ford dealer to request a refund, and was told it could take 6-8 weeks. I was also told that it would not cover the throttle body. I don't understand how our truck that has not given us any problems before could have these two major issues back to back without them being related. All of this has set us back nearly $2000.
Due to the fuse box being is located above the radiator, it is exposed to direct heat, and caused the fuel pump relay fuse to completely melt. This caused my truck to completely die twice while on the highway and almost caused an accident. This is extremely unsafe, and Ford should recall this issue since it is a very common issue that drivers are having. A simple fuse box relocation would be an easy solution.
