Well, on the way to work at the Firehall today my truck shut off completely. It was early and traffic was light so I pulled over. I thought did that really happen? I restarted the motor but I am worried. If I were on the 401 or in tighter traffic this may have caused an accident. I have a call into the dealer. Ford should do a recall asap. What if I perished in an MVC and no one could figure it out why it had occurred. Get it FIXED FORD!

Update from Nov 5, 2017: So called the dealer. They need to find a code to fix they tell me.I will be calling first thing Monday. It idles rough and if I don't get action of some type tomorrow I will not be happy. Not safe to drive.

Same issues as others have mentioned in the thread. Lost all power on highway, fortunately I was in exit lane. Shutdown then restarted a few times and was able to get 1/2 way home before it totally died. Complete failure even after restarting. Had vehicle towed to dealer via Ford roadside assistance. Same lights as others, wrench, hill restart, airbag, check engine ect. Waiting to hear diagnosis. Have a good idea what it is from this forum.

Update from Aug 24, 2017: Like many others who have reported this issue it was the throttle body. Ford dealer replace with identical part. Who knows if it will fail again, I think maybe it will....

I was on my way to work. I was driving in heavy traffic going about 65 mph. The truck completely stalled and lost all throttle control. All the dreaded bells and whistles went off to tell me I had indeed bought the wrong vehicle. Lucky for me I was going fast enough to coast up an exit ramp and pull off to the side of the road. It was a white knuckle experience for sure. After a few minutes I started it up and it shuddered very roughly so I turned it off. I waited a bit longer and tried again. It finally took off like normal but the check engine light is on. The truck is running less than smoothly. I am having it towed to the dealership for repair and I'm sure it will be the throttle body.

I am a huge American made guy. I love my Fords. I almost bought a Chevy while I was shopping last year but decided not to get it because that truck shook like it was gonna fall apart at highway speeds. What is it with these American Manufactures and the lumps of coal they put on the highways these days. Those Toyotas are looking a lot better now.

This happened again today (total of 3 times!!). I got it on video since I only drive with a GoPro rolling for liability issues. I got in contact with a Regional Sales Manager for Ford prior to this. They put in my request to replace the vehicle and it was denied today, the same day as my next instance. They want me to continue to be the crash test dummy for their troubleshooting. I have an aftermarket amp in the truck and they tried to put the blame on that for the first 2 times. So it was unplugged from the battery, no power whatsoever. What do you know, still happens. So my guess is next they will ask me to take out my speakers because that could be a cause...never mind I have brought up this thread multiple times. I guess they want a death on their hands before they do anything. I am so upset over this. They could care less my family, or other drivers for that matter, get hurt or worse. I was a big Ford guy before all this. Never again. I don't know what I am going to do. I can't drive a death trap just because they want me to.

As was feared, I was driving my 2016 F150 XLT at 80mph when the entire system failed; just as I was changing lanes to exit.

Since I was in heavy traffic, I almost missed getting off because other cars had jumped onto the Exit Ramp. With no power, I had to cut across 3 lanes of fast moving traffic on the access road, and pulled into the closest parking lot. Fortunately, all of the traffic dogged around me. When I stopped, the engine was sputtering and jerking, and the dreaded "wrench light" was on.

Fortunately, the family was across the highway visiting a relative in the hospital. So, my husband came and got me. I followed back him back under the highway, and was pulling into the parking lot, when it totally shut down again. It's a good thing the closest parking space was empty.

We called Grapevine Ford and made arrangements to drop it off that night.

The incident occurred both at high, and low speeds. The truck had 7,200 miles on the odometer.

They replaced the "throttle body." Ford has acknowledge the problem. But, rather than issue a recall, they have been quietly replacing the units when the trucks are in for other service.

The next time I had to drive a distance, I drove all the way on the two-lane, avoiding the possibility of another "catastrophic" failure at high speed.

All I can say at this point?

I'm glad I didn't panic. A less experienced driver may do so if they find themselves in my situation.

The absolute most scary thing I have ever had happen while driving. While driving in heavy traffic on freeway at 65 MPH the truck lost all ability to accelerate. Traction control warning appeared on dash. Engine was completely unresponsive. By some miracle I was able to navigate to shoulder and limp to exit ramp. Pulled into parking lot and shut car off. Engine was running but accelerator did nothing. Restarted twice and the engine allowed me to rev it. Put in drive and problem seemed to go away but service engine icon appeared on dash. Brought car to dealer this morning. Service rep seemed to immediately suspect it was the throttle body??? All other complaints seem to say the same thing. This cannot happen again. I feel lucky to have survived this happening once. My confidence in this vehicle is gone.

While driving the truck will randomly lose power so nothing happens when the accelerator is pushed. At the same time I get an error "service advancetrac" and a wrench "see manual". If you acknowledge the errors, they are followed by a hill start assist error. This has happened several times while driving and the only thing you can do is coast to the side of the road, turn the truck off and restart which clears it out until the next time. I took it to the dealer and they said none of the codes found indicated anything wrong so I would have to wait until it happens again and bring it in or get a check engine light. The problem is, as soon as you turn the truck off and on, it clears everything and will run normal until it happens again.

After going to the dealership I have experienced this loss of power a dozen more times all in a weeks time while on vacation. I plan on returning to the dealership when I am home. I currently have a check engine light on and just hope that it stays for when I bring it in. It was on previously but went away after several restarts.

This is a serious safety issue that should be recalled. The First Ford dealership should be more willing to troubleshoot the issue despite not having error codes that pinpointed it for them. I suspect they have a good idea what the cause is but couldn't do anything about it until they see an error code that supports it. Truly a horrible experience.

More to follow.

This has happened to me twice. Complete loss of mechanical power in the middle of driving on busy streets. My truck is currently at the Ford dealer service dept. The first time I took it in, they gave it back saying they found nothing wrong. This time (30 days or so later) they have a call into Ford corporate for help because they still don't see anything wrong. I have an 8 month old son and he is no longer allowed in the truck due to how dangerous this issue is. This is absolutely unacceptable, very dangerous and needs a recall immediately.

New truck 10 months old $55,000. Driving down highway, goes from 65 mph to 20 to 2 in about 4 seconds. I had no control of the engine at all - the throttle did not work. It went into "limp mode"! I stopped let it sit and started it up after about 30 seconds. It started rough I was able to get to the dealership. They checked it and said they "could not find any problems". I drove home and it did it again almost causing an accident. I contacted the dealership again today and was told to bring it back in but I would have to prove it was the throttle body problem before they would cover it under warranty.

I don't know how this is going to work out but relating this dangerous problem to the Toyota stuck throttle issues it could be a real problem for Ford. It didn't work out too well for Toyota when they tried to hardball their customers.

I bought my 2016 F-150 about 6 months ago. Before I did, I checked this site for problems. I saw that the 2015's were having lots of problems with the throttle body. I thought that Ford would have a solution to this problem due to the abundance of complaints and that the 2016s would be better. That's what I get for thinking. I began having problems with the truck holding idle for about 6 or 7 days.. I thought it might be bad fuel. Then, on Columbus Day I was driving in town and I lost all acceleration. This will sound like all the other complaints about the throttle body that you read about on this site. Multiple warning lights came on. I limped into the Ford shop. I left the engine running and the idle was very rough. The Ford technician put the scanner on it and it was diagnosed as a bad throttle body. It was replaced and I was back on the road in an hour and a half with no charge. I want to thank my dealership for the great service but I wish that Ford would deal with the problems quicker (like back in 2015 when the problems were coming out). I spend a lot of time out in the woods and if this problem had occurred at a different time, I could have had a very long walk out to find help.

Driving on I-95 in the passing lane getting ready to get in the right lane and with no warning, engine quit. Dash lit up with several warnings, orange wrench, downhill descent light, engine code light, etc. Engine didn't actually shut off but instantly felt like to was running on one cylinder with zero acceleration. Luckily got to the side of the road to try and figure what was going on. Just before I called for a tow, I turned it off, waited a second and restarted the truck. It was like it never happened! As soon as I got home, Googled what just happened and found quite a few instances where this has happened to others. Most of the solutions, Throttle Body Sensor. Took the truck to the dealership and within a couple,of hours get a call telling me Throttle Body Sensor. One was ordered and installed the next day. When I went to pick up the truck, I asked, "Was the part replaced with the same part or had there been any changes or updates?" The answer was, "Same Part." That concerns me a lot. It appears as the issue is rather frequent and dangerous...very dangerous. Apparently no software upgrade or changes to what appears to be a very real problem. Reading all of the other posts on other sites including this one, FORD has an issue and they must know it. Thankfully no damage or injuries....only ruined a pair of shorts.

Driving 70 down freeway and the engine lost all power. "See Manual," "Hill Descent Control Fault," "Hill Start Assist Not Available," and "Service Advance Trac" warning came on screen. Pressing on the accelerator did nothing. I had to coast off the free way and stop along the side of the road. I turned off the engine and when I turned it back on the error codes cycled through and then were gone. This occurred two weeks ago and the dealer said there was no error code and the truck was running fine.

Was just starting out on a 330 mile trip when there was suddenly no response from the gas pedal and the check engine light came on. Luckily I was in a 25 mph zone and was able to drift to the side of the road. Turned the engine off them restarted the engine. No throttle response. Turned off then on again and the throttle worked like normal but the check engine light stayed on. Drove right to the dealer who, beside being fully booked and short staffed, took me in and determined it was a bad throttle body. Luckily they had one in stock. After a 3 hour delay of my trip, I was on my way. The dealer was great to take me in and get me on the road but it was a concerning problem.
