Purchased a 2016 F150 last year, no issues until last week. Truck has 52K miles and the Throttle Body is malfunctioning and because my local Ford cannot see an "error" code with the truck there is nothing they can do. All I want is to PREVENT any further damage or issues with my truck and Ford is NOT having it. I was basically told "oh well". I called Ford headquarters and was told the same thing. Sorry but there is no reason that a 2 year old truck should have ANY issues with its mechanics like a Throttle Body within such a short time. I may be a female but I know my mechanics. This is my 2nd Ford, the 1st one I still have and still runs with 280K plus miles and NO major issues like this. Very disappointed in Ford! I even informed them of their "Customer Satisfaction Repair" notice sent out on it and that it would be cheaper for them to pay for the replacement then to defend any legal action but they don't seem to care.
lost power while crossing train tracks dash warning lights came on, truck had no throttle pedal only would idle, had to idle across tracks and call to have towed.
Drove all day no issues, stopped by the house, 20 min later left neighborhood and it happened. Truck started shaking, stabilitrak alarm indicator and hill ascent went off no power when I hit gas peddle. Stopped in middle of road (thank goodness no one was around) started up again still acting crazy but able to pull off to side of road. Let it sit for about 10 min. Restarted no problem for about a 10th a mile ( 20-25 mph) and happened again. Had it towed to dealership. They replaced it with a new throttle body. thank goodness it happened close to home, we were heading off across country in a week, and yikes if that happened then!
