After driving 30+ min when bringing vehicle to a stop at a red light or parked, truck isles down to 500rmp and rough ideal and chokes like it wants to stall. There is no consistency to this. Has been doing this for 1.5 years. Have been observing fuel levels, ambient temperature, engine temp and there is no consistency to it. There is never a check engine like that comes on and dealer has done a history search and there are no codes. Mechanics are scratching their heads. No recalls, no service advisories. Don't want to start tossing random parts into it.
Driving eastbound on I-10 at 75 -80 mph, on a mountain, suddenly advanctrac fault warning and engine power lost. Vehicle entered limp mode. I was forced to 'limp' on the shoulder to reach a safe area to stop with cell service and wait for a tow truck. This was a very dangerous situation. Semi traffic at high speeds were blowing past very little shoulder space to navigate. At each guard rail I was forced to stop - wait for a break in traffic- restart and pray for enough momentum to get around the area. I finally limped into wilcox AZ and contacted Ford roadside assistance. The vehicle was towed 74 miles to smith Ford in lordsburg nm $280. Fra advised that due to covid 19 no personal transportation is available. No alternate transportation is available in wilcox AZ. Smith Ford service does not open until Monday. Another roadside service $205 put computer on it. Code P2112 throttle actuator 'a' control system stuck closed. Pyramid roadside service found damaged wiring behind accelerator pedal and loose pedal. I had to walk alone in the desert to find a hotel. I eventually walked another 2 miles pulling a suitcase to a grayhound station to phoenix Sunday (274 miles).I will contact dealer tomorrow.Ford has been aware customer satisfaction program to replace defective etb 2015 & 2016 F150. I purchased May 5, 2019 and was not made aware of potentially dangerous situation. No recall was issued for this dangerous defect. Not only could I have been seriously injured on the interstate, I was put in very high risk situations both due to covid 19 high risk in this part of the country but also my personal safety being alone without transportation in an area with limited resources. Thus far I am out of pocket $800 and do not know what additional expenses I may incur until my truck is repaired. I live in papillion, ne and have a long way to go to get back home.
My 2016 F150 5.0 supercrewhas started to regularly stall when idling in park or when braking or coasting when coming to a intersection. I can immediately restart upon putting in park or neutral. Sometimes a check engine light comes on. Upon googling the problem it seems pretty common with no answers of certainty.

The 2016 F150 with 40,000 miles on the engine had experienced a rough idle and engine stalls. The problem is in able to be predictable recreated causing the dealership to not solve the problem. When the truck was at 12000 miles, many engine parts were replaced to fix this issues however were unsuccessful. The vehicle is becoming difficult to drive or have repaired by the dealer. The vehicle typically rough isles or stalls when coming to a stop or sitting still. This poses a concerns when making a left on a standard green light with oncoming traffic.
2016 Ford F150 V8 engine. Driving down the freeway, my A/C compressor went out. It completely locked up causing the engine to stall and become disabled and could not be restarted. Shortly after, I lost power steering and brakes (as a result of the engine loss) which created a safety issue on a freeway at 10:30pm at night as I had to get the vehicle over lanes of traffic without power steering and ease of braking and bring the vehicle to a stop without power assisted brakes. Thankfully, we were able to get over, but I don't know that everyone would be so lucky. I don't think an A/C compressor breaking internally should disable the vehicle's engine unless something is fundamentally wrong with the construction of the compressor. I could see accidents occurring as a result of the engine becoming disabled.
I was completing a 3 hour drive of approximately 120 miles (I had less than 5 miles to go till I arrived at my destination) when my sensors started lighting up my message board and dash system. I was in the left turn lane to enter the on-ramp to US65 South when this happened so I pulled off to the shoulder to investigate. I had just put my truck in park when a car pulled up and said that my engine was on fire. When I got out to look, the fire was rolling out from under the drivers side wheel well. As well, there was either a fluid or melted plastic dripping down to the asphalt that was also on fire. The fire appeared to put itself out, for the most part, prior to the fire company arriving within the next 10 minutes. I had, what I believed to be at the time, recall work done by mike raisor Ford in lafayette, in, less than 1 year ago. In that recall work, I thought the block heater was disconnected so as to prevent an engine fire such as this. Now, I am having doubts as to whether this was completely disconnected. NHTSA campaign number is 18V894000 and Ford recall number is 18S45.
Vehicle stalls while in motion, sitting stationary at a stoplight, or in park. Vehicle has stalled multiple times driving down the interstate at 55+ and leaves the driver unable to control vehicle and creates a safety hazard to the driver and others on the road.
The truck began to make a loud, clunky noise, allthewhile it was slowing down and then eventually came to a stop and was not driveable anymore. We were driving in a neighborhood when it stalled. It would not move. It would turn on, but it would not accelerate. It still made the clunky, loud noise.
Intermittently while towing, after driving several hundred miles of non stop highway driving, the engine will kill after exiting the freeway. When I restart it by turning the key, it will kill again as soon as I put it in drive. This will happen several times before I get the engine to keep running. This happens only in the tow/haul mode. I have been to my local dealership 3 times and they have not been able to fix the problem.
Vehicle engine shakes and shuts off when stopped and at idle. This happens after vehicle warms up and has been driven for at least 15 minutes. I have read many other complaints about Ford trucks doing the same thing. Have read that Ford is aware of problems with variable cam timing sensors and cam phasers, but are not issuing recall. This has happened to me at leadt 6 times.
Engine stalls while driving. This has happened multiple times where multiple warning lights will flash on the dashboard such as the collision detection being disabled and the electronic stability control has been disabled. As soon as these warnings appear, the truck's acceleration is disabled and it will coast to stop, but he truck is still running. It remains in a low idle that is very rough, vibrating the entire truck like it's about to kill the engine, but barely keeping the idle high enough to keep it going. This has happened at different speeds and there is nothing you can do, but try to pull off the road. Once stopped, you can put the truck in park and turn the truck off and back on. Sometimes only one restart is required, but sometimes it will do the same thing again shortly after you begin driving again. This can be extremely dangerous as this can happen in an intersection, highway, or freeway. There is no warning when this is about to happen.

Attempting to accelerate, no power. Vehicle was on 2 lane highway with concrete barriers on both sides and no shoulder. I was going approx 70 mph. I had our toddler, new born and wife in then vehicle. Vehicle slowed faster than I have ever felt before. Cars and trailers slamming on brakes. I'm assuming this did not trigger my brake lights and it was almost dark. So incredibly dangerous not to mention scary. Dash warnings indicated no traction control, hill decent or ABS. Dealer is replacing the throttle body. This was a catastrophic and dangerous flaw.
