I wrecked my2011 f150 ecoboost, i hit a 4 ft culvert and 4 trees, to which the 4th stopped me. My air bags did not deploy or attempt to deploy, in which case caused me to have whiplash and severely sprained ankle w/torn ligaments and tendons requiring a half cast and walking boot. How the accident occurred and time was approximately 9:40ish p.m. I came around a curve, with cruise set on 60 mph, there was a tractor trailer in the majority of my lane, i swerved to the right to avoid it. When i hit the culvert my truck dashboard said something about trac on and ok, i went airborn, the culvert broke a tie rod and the trees took out the passenger side of my truck, the last tree i hit stopped me.....i called ford and they are referring it to their legal department, suppose to be sending someone out to look at my truck (i might add that passenger side window was broke out too) and be contacting me in a 15 day range period. In the mean time....i think it was a safety hazard and needs to be looked into.

My 2011 f150 fx4 has been acting up with the transmission. This has happened multiple times and the dealer is unable to replicate it. So far they have changed all of th coil packs, reset the transmission, changed all the spark plugs in a hope that was the issue. Well it's not. The truck lunges forward with loud bangs and grinding noises. Rpm's go up and down and the truck sounds as if i downshifted from 6th gear to first. Then i can only go 40 miles an hour with high rpms. Engine lights have lit up and now a wrench. This is crazy my gauges don't work this is dangerous.
The ac does not blow through the front dashboard air vents, rather only through the defrost and floor.i have checked fuses, electrical connections, etc.i am also having issues with electric vacuum pump.not sure if related.
Rear windows equipped with defroster and rear passenger side windows with slider windows shatter when the rear defrost button is used.my vehicle has the slider window and upon replacing at safelite glass they said they see this frequent on ford trucks and that to prevent is to either not hookup defrost when window is replaced or not use the rear defrost.
The car always when starting it the battery light comes out and i have to turn it off manually from the dashboard, also the transmission is hitting when starting up the car only has 120 thousand miles when i start the problem at this time it has 140 thousand miles and the problem continuesproblem
It was 15 degrees out, i started the truck sunday morning, i pushed the rear defrost button and the light would not come on.i waited about 15 minutes for the truck to warm up when i got into the truck, the rear defrost button still was not illuminated even though i pushed it a few times.all of a sudden the rear window shattered.there must be an electrical problem with the f150 rear defrost button.i have read multiple complaints on this site and would like to see the nhtsa investigate the problem and hold ford accountable.this is not safe! i am requesting that nhtsa investigate the rear window shattering due to a possible shortage with the rear defroster button.i look forward to reading the nhtsa investigation report which will hold ford liable to replace the damaged items.
Intermittent no-start.all electrics work, but engine will not engage/crank."cannot detect intel-key" message on dash board read-out.
We were traveling down the interstate when the red battery light came on.shortly thereafter loss of power steering, loss of stability control (per dash indicator), and loss of power brakes.i have had the alternator replaced 2 separate times since for a total of three (3) alternators as well as one new battery.now truck is in shop again for same malfunction.2011 ford f150 lariat. Crew cab.v-6 engine.only 54000 miles and i am anticipating my fourth (4th) alternator.i use the truck in non-mountainous terrain, mostly highway for errands, and rarely tow.i believe a recall investigation should commence.

Back truck door locked and will not open from the inside or outside dash light shows door is open, back glass defrost will not come on, none of the doors will lock or unlock with controls or remote. The truck was sitting in driveway when it started showing door was open. Door locked when i pushed the remote lock and will not open back up at all. Back defrost stoped working about a week before the doors messed up i pushed the button to turn it on and it never came on.

The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 20,000.
When i started my truck, there was a thin layer of ice on the rear window. I turned on the rear defrost, but it only stayed on for approximately 15-20 seconds, then turned off and would not turn on again. About a mile down the road i heard a very loud noise, it sounded like a large object hit the roof of the cab, i noticed a burnt rubber smell briefly, and then i noticed that the right side of rear window behind the headrest completely shattered. The window is still in place, but there are tiny shards of glass on the seat. Fortunately i did not have any passengers in the truck at that time, but that is normally where my daughter sits.

Truck willdownshift at random
Attempted to pass a car.speed at time of attempt was 55mph.time 2:20 p.m. And partly cloudy.two lane road but had plenty of time to pass or an accident could have occurred.pushed down on accelerator and the engine actually decreased speed/significant deceleration.i let up on gas pedal, maintained speed then was gradually able to pass.think the turbo had stalled.this had happened once before, shortly after i purchased the truck.at that time i was merging onto interstate and it stalled out, for a shorter duration. After the july 31 incident,i took the truck to ford to inquire about the issues some owners have had on the eco boast engine, which i have.no codes appeared so i was told they couldn't do anything.then talked to regional customer service and got the same story.i am very concerned as i use the truck to tow a 26' trailer.when the eco boast turbo works, i have plenty of power to merge or pass.the above experience was scary and i did not have the trailer behind me at the time.now i feel i can not reasonably depend on it to work as it should. I think it is the turbo but it could be the electronic gas pedal, or the transmission but i really do not think these are the issue.please help!thank you.
Truck locked up on me on the highway doing 70+ mph & caused me to spin out & wreck. It's a recall for that issue that ford will not fix for me because of mileage. Terrible customer service & endangered my life & others that day for a issue that they're responsible for.
While traveling a long duration at a consistent mph, low rpm, and low turbo boost pressure i began to climb a hill where more acceleration was needed to maintain mph. At time the vehicle rapidly slowed, engine light cam on, tried to add throttle to stay out of the way of approaching traffic but just continued to slow. This happened while traveling from las vegas nevada to reno nevada. I replaced the ignition coils and that solved the problem only to have it happen again in less than 5k miles in the same driving conditions
While driving and under no particular common conditions, the dashboard, instrument gauges, interior lighting, headlights, navigation panel suddenly begin flashing and blacking out. Then after a few seconds, come back to normal, but typically with a "traction control service" message on with the trouble light remaining on. This happens about every 10 minutes of driving. Once in a while, it lasted longer and clunking noises seemed to come from the drive train. However, a few occurrences were while turning and the power steering was out. I took it to a belle tire nearby and they could not fix the problem, saying the dealer had toupdate the abs module and gave me a printout of tsb 12-11-18 [attached scan]. They circled diagnostic trouble codes c1278 and c1963 as the ones that popped up in their analysis.i find no recalls of this item, but the steering issue is certainly dangerous.
My truck was parked and running.i turned on the rear defrost and noticed the light did not come on.a couple minutes later i heard a loud pop and the drivers side rear window shattered.i went to the ford dealer as i just purchased the truck on 01/16/2015.they acted like it was an isolated incident and i didn't think much of it.i then find on the internet this is an on going issue.my son was sitting in the back seat when this happened.i feel this is a vehicle defect that needs to be addressed by ford.i also feel this is a safety issue as my son could have be injured during this incident.thank you for your attention in this matter.
Rear window defroster light doesn't come on. The rear window doesn't defrost but the mirrors do. Do i have to wait for a fire when it is known that this is a problem and ford doesn't issue a recall. To many people are having bthis bproblem and there are fires and rear windows blowing out.
While driving my vehicle on the rd rather i'm going 20 or 70 mph the truck will down shift and up shift rapidly and the shift indicator light on dash will flicker off and on then eventually goes into a neutral mode and won'texcellerate then i'llpull over put truck in park and turn it off the try and restart it it will not do anything loses all power to ignition as if it was dead no dash lights will come on. I'll then have to unplug the wires to the ecu plug them back in then unit will start and drive but act up again. The mechanic shop already installed a new range sensor in the valve body of the transmission. At rapid repair in katy tx. And did not fix the problem my truck has only 87,000 miles it's even had transfluid replaced and level checked it's something electrical.
Takata recall'- our truck keeps shifting into several gears causing the truck to pull back hard and unable to drive on highway due to shifting changes which can't be controlled by the driver.
When i'm accelerating the engine stalls, i may be leaving a stop sign climbing over an overpass or passing another slower vehicle. Seems to happen more often about 40mph to 70mph.
When trying to shift into reverse the dash light will not illuminate, will not shift into reverse, and maintenance wrench light comes on.i am able to shift into neutral, drive, and any other gear with dash illumination and operate the vehicle.reverse will not shift and after multiple tries it finally takes and "jolts" backwards without warning and allows me to backup.however dash light never changes and am unsure when it will shift.i am told by the dealership that it is a malfunctioning "transmission range sensor".my vehicle matches the make, model, and year of an active recall: #12v190000 however i am informed by the local ford dealership that my vin number does not match the recall list in oasis? and therefore is not covered by ford.i have had no issues with my vehicle up until this point and cannot believe that ford is refusing to cover this obvious safety hazard.
I turned on the rear defroster. The car had been running for approximately 5 minutes traveling on highways 55-65 mph. Sounded like a gun shot inside the car and my rear windshield on passenger side was completely shattered. The rear defroster is not working. I believe the rear defroster got so hot that it shattered the glass.
While driving my truck will shut down no power, this happens mainly while its raining at first now its starting to do this more often. The bcm is located in an area that when it rains the water has shorted the bcm and now i am having the truck completely shut down and or not start. I have been to ford several times and theyre stating there is no recall due to this. I have heard the same complaint from other f150 owner whose bcm is in the sane exact spot as mine. Ford is not willing to help fix the problem but charge several hundred dollars to replace parts and diagnosting test to only not do anything about the issues.
I will be acceleratingfrom a stop position or cruising in town at 40 mph or on the interstate at 75 mph and my transmission will randomly slam into a lower gear causing my tires to occasionally lock up.my speedometer will simply stop working, my digital dash display will display dash marks instead of numbers and also display a wrench icon.then once i pull the vehicle over and turn it off for a minute, everything will return to normal.

Rear sliding glass window defroster stopped working around 90000 miles, ford dealer says i have to purchase a new rear glass.transmission downshifts feeling as if someone ran into the rear of the vehicle. Traveling on i-10 at approximately 80 miles an hour went to pass a slower moving vehicle, when i accelerated to pass the transmission down shifted into 3 gear almost causing me to lose control. Transmission has a problem (no notice from ford) talked to several owners having similar transmission problems.
Repeated misfires, and loss of power when accelerating, engine lights flashes. This has happened 2 additional times since the first incident.

Used automatic starter today around 4:30pm.the temp today was in the 20s here in western maryland.while driving home i noticed the rear window passenger side panel was completely shattered.upon inspection there was no impact area.just the entire panel was very spider webbed.i will be contacting ford before i file an insurance claim.this is absolutely a defect with the design of these windows.ford needs to recall these before a child gets injured from shattered glass.my kids heads are very close to this glass.i'm sure if this happened when traveling at a high speed it could cause any injury.ford needs to step up and address this before it becomes a big lawsuit.

I approaching an intersection and let off the gas, and started to slowdown several hundred yards before coming to intersection. The f-150 suddenly began to accelerate without my foot on the gas and my foot apply as hard as i could to the brake. The truck was accelerating on own. Abs kicked in and pulsed. But again truck was accelerating without my foot on the gas i complete made sure foot was removed and both feet on brakes. Attempted to pump and immediately after relating from brake as pumping to try and stop as hard stop didn't work it was like it was building up and shoot out like a bullet and hit car in front me. Once hit then quit accelerating. The front lifted up and full accelerating but feet were both on brakes.lucky no one was hurt. Small damage to both vehicle because was as low speed intersection. If there wasn't a vehicle in front me. I would shot into intersection where only who knows what could have occurred to myself and others. This was a life threatening situation, that could have gone really bad.. End result could have been fatal. This needs to be investigated by ford and no one else should be injured or lives taken from an issue that needs immediate attention and resolution to the vehicle owners that are scared to drive there vehicle because of this occurrence. Ford needs to make this right and make sure all vehicles this is reported on are safe or taken out of commission to make our roads safe for others and drives.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Transmission shifted in to 2nd at 50 mph..lost control hit a fence pole..blew up my tranny..nobody will help with towing
I turned the rear defrost on in my 2011 ford f-150 and smelt a burning smell and then heard a pop the back driver side window tile had shattered.
While driving on the interstate at 70 mph my speed information screen showed the wrenchand the transmission down shifted to a lower gear. I had to pull off the interstate and restart the vehicle after waiting a few minutes.after i restarted the vehicle the check engine light and wrench went out.subsequent problems have been the transmission will not shift out of gear and the information screen shows the wrench. My local mechanic said the following p codes were present, p0720 and p0722 and advised there was a recall for my specific transmission.when i called ford they said that even though my transmission was experiencing the same problems as those under recall my specific transmission was not on the recall list.
On monday january 6th i started my vehicle and let it warm up then when i tried to put my truck into reverse and when i put the shift lever in reverse the electronic transmission prndl display did not indicate the letter r for reverseand thebackup lamps did not operate. After that i tried each gear and none of them were working so i put it into park and then back into drive it slammed into gear and then i was able to drive. The day before i got into my vehicle after it warmed up then put it into perverse and it did not go into reverse at all or drive.as a result i took it to midas in my town and they told me that there was a safety recall on my vehicle due to the codes and behavior so they advised me to take it to ford dealership for it to be fixed for free. I did so and i asked about a recall and they reported to me that there is no recall and they want me to pay full charges this is a safety concern that can be taken care of by the dealership and i am missing work and out of the vehicle due to this delay and i'm still making payments on my vehicle that is not safe to drive.
During a frost recently i found that the rear window defroster of my truck is not working. It worked all last year but this is the first time use for this year.
When pulling out of a parking lot the instrument cluster lcd goes black, assisted power steering stops working making it hard to steer. Then after a few seconds comes back on and steering rapidly corrects to current position. So far has mostly happened during the first few minutes after running. So far this has only happened once while driving on the highway during a straight stretch.
Luckily, there was not an incident in my case. I had a rear sliding window switch replaced under warranty. I also had an oil change and my battery terminals cleaned by the dealers service department. When i went to pick up my vehicle and began to drive off, i noticed a warning displaying the message "service advancetrac". I then left the vehicle with the service department again. When the service advisor contacted me to tell me what the technicians diagnosed, he said that the truck needed a new electric steering rack. He also told me that this part is on national backorder. After doing some research, i found that this is a vital part in steering functionality. I also read that if this part fails while you are driving, there is a serious risk of accident. I'm thankful that my truck wasn't moving when this steering rack went bad. But it concerns me that so many ford owners have had this happen to them and that this is not a recall. I also think that if this part is on national backorder, there must be many people who are having this issue as well. I want to do my part to make the public aware that this part also went bad on my vehicle. I want to contribute to the numbers so that this can become a recall if the data shows it's necessary.
Driving to work on a crisp fall morning in october 2014, i put the rear window defogger on.about 10 minutes later, i heard a loud pop that sounded like one of my windows had been shot out.i stopped to investigate and discovered that my right rear window had shattered (spider-like cracks throughout though still intact).i understand that this has occurred on scores of ford f-150s.luckily i was only driving 35 as any faster and i might have lost control due to the fright.when is nhtsa going to do something about this?or do about a dozen people have to die first before any action is taken?
P0705 transmission range sensor input failure. Ford says there are zero recalls on this vin ever.
My 2011 f150 rear window pane broke about 1 minute after turning on the rear defrost as i was driving down my street. This needs to be recalled as it is a very dangerous situation to have a window breaking directly over the rear seats.kids and passengers are being putin a dangerous situation by entering the backseat. This is clearly a problem as others have stated. Ford and my extended warranty will not cover the window unless it is diagnosed, however i have contacted 5 dealerships who said they are unable to diagnose a problem like this. I can no longer have anyone ride in my truck in the backseat.
Cpsc: i144350a. 2011 ford f-150. Consumer stated the electric power steering system lost power. *lnthe consumer stated while driving, a block of ice fell off a truck that was ahead of him, and evasive action was not possible due to the ice and traffic volume. The ice stuck the alternator which was positioned 10 inches off the ground on the lower left front of the vehicle. Then vehicle then began to lose electrical power . Eventually, the vehicle lost electrical power steering. He was able to pull hard on the steering wheel and was able to steer a slight curve. He then realized he had no brakes, so he shot across the highway, which was usually busy, and he stomped on the emergency brake and came to a stop. The consumer then discovered there was a fire underneath the engine, but quickly put it out with the snow.
I was on the road when my truck started to smell burned and the truck was burning. It was totally lost. We were 4 people who were up and we were also burned.

I am sitting at a stoplight or street sign my foot is on the break all the way down and then all of a sudden it jumps forward. Then it started putting when i drove and kept getting worse and the check engine light flashes for a good minute. Everytime it said there was nothing wrong with it, and the dealership only found minor stuff that needed fixed but it was none of thoes that was causing this issue. So then i looked for recalls, and i had the recall on my truck done and then my truck started knocking. This is still happening and nobody can seem to figure out whats going on with the truck.
When using the left turn signal it will not work only in the back tail light. So when i use my left turn signal it sounds inside my truck a little bit faster than the right side so it knows the blinker is out although the blinker on my left side mirror still works and the front left blinker still works i have tryed numberous times to change the tail light and have others look at it and change the tail light with brand new bulbs but nothings works.
No left rear break light, no left rear turn light, only flashes quickly on left side mirror and left front turn signal. Had it tested with 3 different mechanics, who all state modular defect. Two different ford dealers claim no issue with vinn#, yet there are recalls for same issue.problem is both stationary and moving. New bulbs short out.unable to get vehicle inspected due to issue.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. On several occasions, the lights on the instrument panel randomly illuminated off and on. The doors made a dinging noise; however, none of them were ajar. In addition, the parking brake indicator randomly illuminated. The contact also stated that the doors failed to lock from the inside and the contact had to use the key to manually lock the doors from the outside. On another occasion, the vehicle would not start. The contact stated that the vehicle was diagnosed at a battery shop where it was determined that the faulty body control module drained the battery. The vehicle was taken to jeff ford of pullman (2590 s grand ave, pullman, wa 99163, (509) 334-6000) where it was diagnosed that the body control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 140,000.

I own a2011 ford f150 fx4. While my truck is parked and engine off and doors locked the dash backlight stays illuminated and drains the battery completely.z this begin about 6 months ago.around 55k miles on it. I have to unhook my battery when i get out of the truck to prevent my battery from draining.i found if i unplug battery forabout 10 min i find the backlight will not come on for about days. Also, mydrivers side back door will not unlock remotelyorinside the car.it can only be locked or unlocked manually.
Steering sticks when turning left. It is as if the power steering quits working. Happens at all speeds.dash lights come off and on at different times-appears to have no connection to light switches
The engine revs and rpm suddenly increase regardless of gear.after the mph and rest of front display goes blank.after pulling over shutting of engine and restarting the truck the system resets.very dangerous at high speeds.
Rear defroster did not work for a few weeks. I tried it again this am and it turned on. 5 minutes later i heard an explosion and my rear window on the passengers side shattered. This is a big problem as my infant sits in the back facing this window. Please address this asap!!! ford should be liable....
Hot air only out of driver's side vents. Actuator motor problem.
The defrost button would not come on properly. Once it did, approximately 3 to 5 minutes later i heard a loud pop. That is when i noticed by looking in the rear view mirror that the rear drivers side back window had shattered.there was nothing indicating it had been struck by anything. The entire window was still intact. The outdoor temperature was around 27 degrees.2011 f150 super crew.
This repair was not covered by ford and in my opinion it should be.here's my story:my husband owns a 2011 f150 with approximately 25,000 miles on it.on december 27, 2014 he turned on the rear defroster to clear the window.as he was driving less than a mile from home, the truck had been running about 3 minutes he smelled rubber burning, at which time there was thick white smoke coming from the outside of the passenger rear window and the glass behind my grandson's car sear shattered due to a short in the heating element of the rear defroster.fortunately our 18 month old grandson was not in the truck as the shards of glass were falling out of the window into his seat.ford will not cover glass under my warranty.i have pictures of the damage and i have included the link below where you will see that this appears to be a problem with ford f150 trucks ranging from 2010 to 2014.the truck is getting repaired today and there were no injuries.it's not about the money, more ofa safety concern for rear seat passengers.unfortunately it's very unsettling to not know if the problem will be resolved with this repair.will it happen again?
We started having issues with the rear defroster not working on the power sliding rear window. After a short period of time after pushing button to power the rear defrost smoke was noticeable coming from the lower part of the rear window on the passenger side of the cab. I then pushed the rear defrost button to turn off the power looked back into the rear view mirror to see if the smoke would stop and saw the window fracture as i was looking at it.
I own a 2011 ford f150. Driving home from work last week in the dark i just got onto the highway andi heard what sounded like something hit the bottom of the truck or a gun was shot.didn't know what happened, i then noticed the rear defroster light was not on i went to turn it on and it did not go on that is when i looked at my back window and noticed it was shattered on the passengers side.when i got home i went on the internet and saw that this was happening a lot so i contacted ford about the window and they said that they checked there resources and verified that my vehicle is not involved in any recalls or customer satisfaction programs at this time and it must be inspected by a ford dealership to determine the cause of any symptoms my vehicle may be experiencing.went to ford dealer they said that i should just go to a glass specialist to have it fixed.so i took it to a glass specialist and they said they have replaced at least 14 rear windows on ford trucks because of this problem in the past couple months, i should call ford and complain and hang on to my receipt.
Stays in low gear and won't up shift. Shut truck off and after a few attempts it shifts. This has happened on several occasions. Once it did it while stop at a redlight. Went to pull out and it wouldn't shift out of low gear. Did it another time when i got it in and from a cold start ,put it in drive and it wouldn't shift out of 1st gear.
While driving on interstate 91 at approximately 65mph i experienced a loss of power and the vehicle started to shake. I could not exceed 60mph in fear that the same problem would happen again. I was forced to drive in the slow lane after the incident. A short time later as i was returning from my destination the vehicle again had a significant loss of power at approximately 60mph. Ford service stated that it was due to a defective coil and plug. Seemed to be a very dangerous issue due to the sudden power loss and abrupt shaking of the truck.
In 2016 i went to get recall repaired from franklin tn dealership i purchased the truck from, they refused, in 2019, they claim that the software was not available from ford, online in emails to another dealer, i have not been told when to bring truck in to get all recalls repaired. Both dealerships are in tn. When in first gear, the truck will jerk back down and won't allow me to go to 2nd gear without pressing hard on gas, loud fan noise from the hood, breaks go to the floor and i have to pump to feel truck slowing down, air and heat continue to not work, air won't get cool and heat won't get hot, both dealerships have refused to repair or blamed ford for not giving them what they needed to fix the recalls. I am documenting so my family will be able to give this to attorney. The down shift happens when the truck is in drive moving on any and every street, parking lot, stop light/sign. The loud fan noise from the engine only happens when the truck is started, the brakes have been going to the floor for 8 years at different times of the day/night when driving.
While driving 60mph on the interstate the vehicle suddenly downshiftedto 1st gear causing the rear wheels to lock up and send it into an uncontrolable skid.
I purchased my 2011 f150 ecoboost in used condition in 2014.the primary use for my truck is around town errands and hauling light loads.for sometime now i have had issues, like many others have complained as well, during acceleration at 45+mph the engine loses it's power, shudders and stalls.once there is a reduction in the amount of throttle, it takes a few minutes to regain "normal" driving conditions.for example, my family and i were coming home from florida on the parkway, in july and with no abnormal weather conditions, and as i was ascending a grade about 75 miles per hour and a semi truck behind me, i gave the truck more throttle and it began to shudder violently, a subtle backfire, and lost power and could not regain throttle response.i quickly moved the truck into the emergency lane and had let the truck return to a normal idle, took a few minutes, before almost getting into a serious collision with the semi-truck.over the past years i have just dealt with the issue and have taken it to mechanics and scanned the truck with no error codes or issues, until just recently.the mechanic scanned it and it showed misfires on #4 and #6.he replaced the coil and plug hoping that would be the cure, but with no luck it did not solve the issue.i'm reluctant to drop another $250.00 to replace the rest of the coils, but i don't know what else to do.i do not have disposable income and the truck is paid for, i and can't afford to get another vehicle.i enjoy my f150 and plan on keeping it until the wheels fall off.i have read post after post and video's that there are many people experiencing the same issues, but it seems no one is willing to step forward and make the complaint.i want this issue addressed and i hope ford will resolve the issue before someone is seriously injured or a life is taken over this problem.
My 2011 ford f-150 pick-up is shifting very hard from 1st gear to 2nd gear.the hard shift causes my pick-up to lurch forward abruptly. It also shifts hard some of the time when it shifts from 2nd to 3rd gear. I took my pick-up to our local ford dealer, and they recommended a transmission update for $100.00 not covered by the extended warranty.
The instrument cluster lcd display loses functionality immediately after the vehicle starts. This prevents the instrument panel from displaying the selected transmission gear, increasing the risk of unintended vehicle movement.it also prevents warning chimes, messages, and lights from operating.i have no visibility about the car's health, odometer, warnings, etc.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. When the vehicle was shifted into reverse, the reverse tail lights were not illuminated and the "r" was not illuminated on the instrument panel. The failure recurred each time the vehicle was shifted into reverse. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission sensor was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact stated that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 12v190000 (exterior lighting, power train). The approximate failure mileage was 135,000. ..updated 06-16-15updated 10/16/2017

Pushed my rear defrost button due to some condensation and nothing happened got to work 7 mins later parked got out of truck and opened my back driver door and heard a pop and looked at the rear window and is was cracked all over like a web.
A week or two before the incident i noticed that the light on the rear defrost button no longer turned on when the rear defrost button was pressed.i wasn't sure if the rear defrost was working or not.on the morning of the incident it was cool outside and the windows were frosty.i pressed the rear defrost button after starting the truck and it once again did not light up.i started driving to work with my two kids in the back seat.after driving a couple miles i heard a loud noise as if something had hit the truck. I looked in all the mirrors to find what had hit the truck and noticed that the passenger side of the rear window had shattered.it hadn't fallen out of the frame, but was spider-webbed throughout.when i took the truck to the dealer the service manager said he had seen 5 other 2010-2011 f-150's just this winter with the exact same issue.this should be considered a safety issue.from other complaints that i've read the window does sometimes shatter out of the frame and into the cab of the truck.if it had done so in this instance it would have fallen in the face of my 11-month old son sitting directly under it.
Loud sound and popping when turning wheels sharp. Has been happening for a while and has gotten worse. Service advance trac message displays and then turn signals no longer work. Eventually warning would disappear but would come back on when turning sharp again.took in for service and problem became so bad that vehicle would not turn. Having to replace rack and pinion.

Truck has loss of power when pulling out to pass at highway speeds nearly causing head on crashes.
Air handler diverter switch burnt out causing fire at 35000 miles, power train idles high at stops trying to go, at down shift when slowing it jerks very badly truck has only 40000 miles on it. These are ongoing problems for many miles
I was driving in highway traffic in the right hand lane at about 70-75 miles per hour.the weather was clear and the temperature was approximately 50 degrees. I encounter a slow moving vehicle and moved into the left hand lane and tried to promptly accelerate to pass a slower vehicle.when i attempted to accelerate the vehicle began to shake violently and go into a very rapid deceleration.the violent vibration of the entire vehicle and rapid deceleration made control a challenge. I moved to the right hand lane reduced speed to 50 mph and continued on to a ford dealership to have the vehicle evaluated.the dealership found that 3 coils failed which caused the vehicle to vibrate and decelerate rapidly.i had the vehicle repaired.
Battery won't if power from time to time after replacing it with a new battery. Back door says it's ajar even when it's not, i did get that repaired after that my radio stopped working checked all fuses. Lots of wiring issues
Passenger side seat warmer failure
Driver's side rear door will not open. This started with the door not unlocking sometimes with the key fob. When this happened, the door would have to unlocked manually. Now the door will not open at all - not with key fob nor with lock knob. Neither the interior or exterior door handle will open the door. Nothing will work and impossible to replace door latch mechanism with door closed.n based on internet searches, this is not a rare occurrence. Definitely a safety issue if in an accident especially if an emergency situation.
I was stopped on a single lane street at a stop sign, waiting to enter a two lane road with shoulders. I was going to turn left onto the highway. All traffic from the left had passed. There was still one vehicle coming from the right, but it was still far enough away that i had plenty of time to pull out and accelerate. I took my foot off the brake and i began to give the truck gas to pull out. I only traveled several feet when the truck died. It just stopped running, as if i had shut the key off while moving. No sounds of any kind or any warning. It just died. I was facing across the road in the middle of the first lane heading straight towards the other side. I think the road was slightly slopped because i had just enough momentum to get across as i was fighting to turn the truck onto the shoulder. If i wasn't able to turn the truck i would of ended up in a small gully on the other side. Luckily the driver of the approaching car from my right was alert, and had enough time to go behind me. This could of ended badly. I had the truck towed to my dealer. They stated the problem was with a fuse (#27) for the pump relay, and that there was a tsb.
Loud bang with rear defroster on (light flashing)- no broken glass but had to remove 2 fuses to keep glass from exploding while driving as many have already reported to this site. Now no rear defroster available.
This model f-150 has a known problem in that the electrical defrost on the rear window stops working.the repair is a $750 new window that ford refuses to fix, nor guarantee once they do fix it. It is happening to a lot of f-150 owners, and this is a safety concern, as thewindow will remain fogged or snow covered in winter driving months. Again, ford is aware, as this problem has affected many f-150 owners, as verified by a google search.
Left turn signal and brake light not working
Rear view windshield shattered and blew up after my rear defrost window stopped working. I was driving my truck when it blew up and i started smelling smoke
2011 f150 has a serious electrical problem that is a safety issue, the rear defroster on a power sliding rear window know for failing to work, and if left on and vibration from a road bump can cause a sudden connection which will then cause the rear glass to shatter, and at this point there are thousands of cases, of this problem and ford refuses to fix the issue claiming the glass is not their problem
Driving 70 mph when 2011 ford f-150 while driving in cruise control with a/c on lost all power..........and a tool displayed on dash.i was able to pull over on-side of interstate luckily.......turned off vehicle waited a few minutes and re-started with no further issues.i'm concerned this is similar to other issues ford products have been having.need answers before your vehicle hurts my family!!!
Rear window passenger side shattered.rear defrost would sometimes come on and sometime not.suspect the window overheated and shatteres.many of these incidents reported in us and canada.
2011 ford f150 starter problems. I've replaced starter on this vehicle multiple times and still have issue's. I turn ignition and all that happens is a screeching noise. After a couple tries it starts.second issue is speed control issues. I was driving on city streets and all of a sudden my speedometer stopped working. My truck would not shift and had to manually shift gears.
This is very disappointing to have to experience so soon with a brand new truck.the location of this wiring harness is in an area that unless you have side steps and maybe even then, is not protected.even then the way the wiring harness comes out from within the wheel wall makes no sense.i'm attaching a few pictures so you can see what occurred.luckily, someone saw the wire dragging and told me before it was too late. I put up the harness and taped it to hold it up.this could have had a horrible outcome had the wires continued to shred or make contact with one another.
Vehicle once when first bought shut down during rain conditions when trying to excel. It was like you ran into a wall. Ford then said it was a wiring harness problem. It continued missing at times over the last two years. The same thing happened again in december while trying to pass a vehicle and it was again during rain conditions and just shut down in the road. We took it into the dealership and theysaid it was tsb 13 8 1 and made repairs. Vehicle now does notrun right and gas mileage has dropped by at lest 2.5 mpg. Noticeable power loss. Vehicle is the ford 3.5 echo boost. This is a big problem for consumers who want a truck and expect power with good mpg but should not be afraid to drive or get a supposed fix that's not what you have purchased. These situations will result into some very bad accidents. I cant imagine pulling something and this happens. Bottom line consumers deserve safe reliable vehicles. We love fords and i hate i am having to complain but this is a real big problem. Please investigate. Thanks!!!!
Rear defroster would not work. 5 minutes later it came on for just a second and all of a sudden there was a loud bang and the window on the right side of the rear next to the slider shattered. After doing more research, i discovered that is has happened before on the 2011 fords but there hasn't been any recall. This is dangerous. Thank you
Event occurred 3 times over a period from 27 oct 13 to 21 nov 13, decelerating while towing a trailer. Speed varied all three times from a high of about 60mph, to a low of 45mph. Message center would turn orange and display a wrench symbol, while the engine discontinues producing power. After pulling over, simply turning the vehicle off, then restarting, everything appears normal again. Two ford dealers "found no codes", and were unable to further diagnose the issue. The second dealer attempted to collect data via an onboard computer as well, but the event wouldn't repeat while the device was installed, nor was i towing during that time.one of these events occurred on a two lane road with no shoulder available. Traffic had to stop until i restarted. Dangerous at best. The third even occurred going up a one lane freeway flyover. I was able to coast past the bridge structures and onto the shoulder, however, this occurred during rain, and multiple other vehicles had to make accident avoiding maneuvers, including tractor trailer rigs. Very dangerous.i have replaced the vehicle.
This vehicle has a serious problem with the electric power steering assistance service (epas) . The steering module seems to not control the steering well, making it hard to turn or it begins to lock. The rack and pinnon seems to be the issue causing this and can lead to a serious accident since if going on speeds of 45mph+ the carsteering becomes rigid and does not have a balance between a nudge to the left or a hard left. It makes that hard left without any warning.
While driving my 2011 f150 supercrew cab on a 30 degree evening, i turned on the rear defroster. Within a few minutes, a passenger in the back seat heard a crackling sound and then a loud pop, the passenger side of the 3 section rear window had shattered, within a few hours the glass from this window had started to fall out and enter into the cab, and onto the seats.this happened on 12/30/2016 at approximately 6pm, speed was about 35 mph and no other traffic was on the road.
1. Rear defrost and side mirror defrost fuse continually blows. Started appx 3 yrs and at 42,000 miles 2. Steering column locks up when turning left at a slow speed in cases such as pulling into or out of a driveway or parking spot or making a u turn.at high speeds on the interstate vehicle floats to the left and it is hard to straighten, almost as if there is no power assist.(i understand ford recalled some but not all2011 f150's for a steering rack replacement (started around 4 yrs/ 55,000 miles3. Transmission takes about 10 seconds to engage into reverse upon starting in the morning or on cold days when vehicle has been parked for mare then say 5 hoursstarted around 6 months/ 6,000 miles.
When the 2 rear doors are locked, it is haphazard when they will unlock or open, either manually or from the inside.when i have children in car seats in the rear seats and i am unable to open either door it can be a matter of life or death in cases of emergencies.not everyone is able to crawl from the front seat to the rear seats to get babies out of their car seats.the doors will not unlock with the front door panel controls or the remote key.it does not matter if stationary or in motion, the doors still will not unlock .the date of 5/01/2019 is an approximate date, as this has been an off & on again problem.now that i have babies to transport, it needs to be addressed.
Vehicle has a parasitic drain on the battery. Within 12 to 36 hours the battery will be completely drained of power. Vehicle has been taken into ford service 4 times and the issue is unresolved.

While driving my transmission will suddenly downshifted to first gear.no rhyme or reason. The last time it happened i was probably going 35 to 40mph. It threw everyone in the cabin forward like we hit something in the road. It has happened multiple times and is getting worse. I have spoken to ford and informed them about the similarities of a recall on the same problem but ford states my vin number does not fall into the category because it was built in their canadian plant.

Took to dealer.it started again for them. Go figure!later that afternoon, it would not start for them.they then called ford motor company, who told them what to look for, tsb 15-0137.they told me that this was a temporary repair, and that they would order a new fuse block, as fuse number 27 had melted the connections in the box, thus making it impossible to have a proper connection.the general manager told me about a personal friend of his who had this happen to his almost new truck, and he got rid of the truck.i cannot afford to do that.it has been since november 9, 2015 when this occurred, and now the agency, el centro motors 1520 ford drive el centro, ca. 92243 (760) 336-2100 is telling me that repair tsb 15-0137 is a permanent repair, and that ford motor company will not replace the fuse block and has no improvement fuse block available, and that the fuse blocks are not available, as there is a 120 day waiting period to obtain them.

When pressing rear window defroster button light no longer comes on.ensure rear window was completely closed, issue not resolved.problem first noted back in february during snow storm where light would come on several minutes after first turned on.now light and defroster does not work at all.seems to be a common issue among all the newer (2010 and up) f150.
It was a 20 degree morning so i decided to use the remote start to warm up my truck before i went to work. I climb into the truck and go to back out of the driveway and noticed the rear passenger side slider is shattered. I've never hauled anything in the bed so nothing would have came into contact with the window. After doing a little research, i discovered that there are plenty of ford owners that this has happened, one gentleman had his child in the back when this happened! fortunately my children were not with me at the time the window shattered. Hopefully ford will cover this being that it's $800, but i'm guessing they'll tell me it's not they're problem.
The speaker went out in my back left door, so i took the door apart to see what was going on. I tested the speaker and it worked fine, so i started working my way back through the wiring harness. When i touched the harness where it goes from the door to the body (in the door jam) the speaker started working. I removed the harness from the door and pulled back the rubber boot in the door jam. Everything was still wrapped in factory harness wrap, and when i exposed the wires, the speaker wires were severed and most of the wires in the bundle had cracked insulation. There were no signs of being pinched or damaged externally, and i am fairly certain this was just from the bending motion every time the door was opened and closed. I build custom automated machines for a living and we always use flex rated cable for applications like this. So this looks like they used cheap wire with insulation that is not rated for the number of bend cycles a door goes through. Luckily the power wires for the window regulator and door switch had not shorted out despite the copper being exposed. I am very concerned the rest of my doors are suffering the same problem. This could lead to not being able to unlock the door, not being able to roll down the window in an emergency, or even a fire if the power wires shorted out.
Started the truck in the morning (temperature was 45) and the battery light came on. Took it and had it check and had the battery replaced. After the battery was in, they ran a test and said the alternator was charging too much and the light will come on again. Sure enough after a few seconds, the battery light came back on.took it to the dealer (apple ford in red lion, pa) i purchased it from and they said the alternator is bad and charging too much.there stated that there are no after market alternators for this make and year. So after paying $1055.00 for a ford brand alternator, the truck was fixed.that is way too much money for an alternator. It is an outrage!! i checked around and i cannot believe that the price of this part is actually this expensive.i asked if they have heard about this problem, and the answer was no.i have been a ford owner most of my life, but this may change my opinion on ford trucks for my next purchase.
Brakes were difficult to engage during emergency braking due to hard pedal.braking seems more difficult than previous experience (like having no brake assist).after searching the internet for known problems, i verified a blown vacuum pump fuse.the dealer verified that the vacuum pump assembly was seized therefore blowing the fuse.i find it curious why a major brake component can fail while not setting a failure code or indicating a failure on the ford display panel (check brake light, etc.).how can the vacuum assist for the brakes totally fail on a 2011 vehicle and not tell the driver there is a problem?why did the vacuum pump fail (internal pump bearings lacked lubricant and seized due to atmospheric moisture) with just over 20000 miles on the truck?why won't ford fess up that they sold their customers a defective $750.00pump?i guess ford only knows!
My 2011 ford f150 ecoboost is making a humming noise when you start the truck and move the shifter into a gear and apply the brakes., does this for about a minute or i rev the engine and it goes away. The brake pedal feelsvery week then the pressure comes back up. I have had this truck into gateway ford in greeneville tn since the second day i own the truck.the saleman said this is normal for this type motor. They also changed the spark plugs for a miss i was having in the motor. I have been to the dealer 4 times always get sent away like im crazy its all in my mind.don't know where else to turn any help would be very grateful. Thank youthis happens thru out the driving of the truck
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving approximately 35-40 mph, the hazard lights independently activated, the doors failed to unlock, and the windows failed to adjust as desired. The contact stated that the battery had failed. The contact disconnected the battery to stop the hazard lights from draining the battery. The contact stated that the other failures persisted. The vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic who informed the contact that the body control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 208,000.
2011 ford f150 lariat - when accelerating to pass, engine lights will flash and the truck will lose power. After several seconds of flashing, the engine light stays on and the truck decelerates. I shut the truck off and then re-started but the engine light stayed on. I was traveling on a highway and had to pull off to a city street. Very dangerous situation.
I have a 2011 ford f150 fx4 with the power rear sliding window with defroster.the led light does not work to power the defroster and the rear window is also not defrosting.after searching on the internet if this does not get repaired the rear window has shattered.the dealer advised me there was no recall and replacement cost would be $1350.
I have a 2011 f150 truck it's saying power steering assist fault, service advancetrac, when i turn the wheel it makes a loud noice still drivable but dangerous. I have looked everywhere online there is recalls on this exact same thing just not on my vin for this truck but same year an truck has recalls. This is very dangerous an very expensive to fix your self . This is a ford default an they are not wanting to fix i'm willing to go through all levels to see to it they fix it.
When driving and you make slight turns and go back to straighten wheel out the steering locks up for a few seconds. From all the research i have done it seems like the electronic power steering assist is the issue. I noticed this to happen as we were driving through the mountains. I see online others having the same issue. It is very dangerous. The wheelgets very hard to hold onto and i would hate to have to be in a big turn and can't turn the wheel back especially if we are going at a normal speed. This will act up at anytime on any type of road.from research this can be quiet expensive for the repair, as it is causing other things to be affected that may need repairs as well.
Wiring harness was shorted out from rubbing on top of differential housing causing alternator failure while underway inwarren pa.stopped dead shortly after at traffic light.
I was traveling in the righthand lane of the east bound side of i24 around manchester, tn. My speed was approximately 65-70 mph. I suddenly came up upon slower traffic in the same lane and signaled to pass the slower traffic. As i looked in my mirrors for traffic behind me i noticed another vehicle closing on me in a hurry. I depressed the accelerator to gain speed and make the pass. The vehicle lurched and the motor suddenly shut down and wouldn't accelerate in the middle of my pass. The vehicle behind me locked their brakes and managed to slow their vehicle down before possibly colliding with me. I let the slower traffic on the right pass and signaled to get back in the right hand lane.this has happened twice to me and i think there is a real possibility this could endanger lives and property if not corrected. My 2011 ford f-150 is equipped with the 3.5 liter ecoboost v6.
Vehicle will down shift randomly and still haven't heard back from ford about a remedy it's an open recall
In may 2015 my 2011 ford f150 3.5l ecoboost began making a buzzing noise in the front left fender well under the hood. From that time forward the truck makes the noise upon start-up. Once the vehicle runs for a while the noise seems to fade away but returns upon restart. A technician tried to diagnose the noise at a local repair shop but to no avail. The noise has gotten worse which prompted me to take the truck back to the repair shop to diagnose again. This time i did some research on the matter and noticed that there was some concern about the vacuum pump in some of these model trucks. Upon picking up my truck the technician informed me that he thought it was the vacuum pump and that i should take my truck to the dealership to have them diagnose the problem and that the part is only available through ford at this time. I made and appointment with the ford dealership with the service manager about the noise. He was familiar with the problem and said that 9/10 times the vacuum pump is the problem. He explained that ford had switched vendors for the part and redesigned the pump in newer models and issued a (tsb) regarding the pump. Since my truck was just outside the warranty period he said i would have to pay for the repair, which was quoted at more than $900. The service manager told me that the part was on back order until mid august 2015 and that i should schedule to have the repair completed then. I asked if there was a safety hazard associated with continued driving and he said, "no, the only thing that could happen is you could lose your brakes or possibly 4 wheel drive, but you'll notice that the brakes are heavy if its going out completely." i feel that ford should be responsible to replace the defective part that they acknowledge as a problem and have redesigned, and which can cause brake or 4 wheel drive failure putting myself and my passengers at risk.
2011 f-150 fx4. Service advancetrac warning light displays. It comes on when i start up the vehicle stationary. The turn signals stop working, too. The next day the light will be off. Appears to be a common manufacturing defect that should be a recall just like on the 2014 f-150s as it is a issues of safety.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 30 mph, the steering seized and the vehicle stalled without warning. There were no warning indicators illuminated prior to the failure. The vehicle was able to be restarted after a few moments. The contact called the manufacturer and was transferred to nhtsa to file a complaint. The vehicle was taken to evergreen ford lincoln (1500 18th ave nw, issaquah, wa 98027, (425) 392-6900) where it was diagnosed that the power steering needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 150,000.
On repeat occasions my truck speedometer will stop working, my odometer will read zero and my vehicle will not allow me to increase speed despite stepping on the gas. In order to resolve the issue i have had to turn the truck off and on again.
I was driving and went to turn on my rear defroster and a few seconds later. It sounded like someone shot my truck.i pulled over and didn't see any damage to the body of my truck but then realized that my rear window was shattered
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while at a complete stop, the contact was informed that the driver side brake light was inoperable. The contact also stated that the driver side turn signal was flashing quickly. The contact replaced both brake light bulbs however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to two independent mechanics and was diagnosed. The contact was informed that the body control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 11v128000 (electrical system). A diagnostic test was scheduled at brighton ford located at (190 w bromley ln, brighton, co 80601) but was still pending. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 142,402.
On hghway transmission jerks when placing in reverse or drive also on road feels like it is pulling back like it wants to go in lower gear...'.also back door not closed on dash reading (electrical) miles on truck is 103000
Power rear window glass has factory flaw causes rear window defroster and heated mirrors to become inoperable.there has been hundreds, if not thousands of cases of this issue.ford will not issue a recall.they do not cover it in their top tier extended warranty programs.i was quoted over $1000 to replace whole back glass to rectify.ford has since changed vendors for the complete back glass unit and still no recall.
This week i had a total failure of my epas(electric power assisted steering) in a 2011 f150. I'm very thankful that this happened while i was in a parking lot on a military base. I didn't have the slightest clue on what was going on with my vehicle until i had to do a little research and the over following concerns reported about the epas shocked me! being a mother of two little boys i've very great full that this did not happen while i was driving on the highway. Ford needs to address this concern because the outcome could have been very bad for my family.
The rear window defrost isn't properly work and i've read multiple reviews of this issue with some windows even exploding.this truck is a family vehicle and the rear window exploding on my daughters is a huge concern.
Electric steering caused vehicle to dartand most difficultto drive safelyit tends tostickand is a little hard to control when correcting the problem. This happens most all of the time.this truck is unsafe to drive over 25 mph.
On the night of dec 20, 2013, i was traveling south on i81 north of syracuse ny. Road conditions were not very good.a block of ice fell off a truck ahead of me, evasive action was not possible due to ice and traffic volume.the ice struck the alternator which is cleverly positioned about 10" off the ground on the lower left front of the vehicle. The vehicle began to lose electrical power system by system. I cant recall the exact sequence, as it was all happening pretty fast. Eventually, the electric power steering system lost power. When this happens on this vehicle, you lose all steering capability. Its not like its just manual steering, there is no steering other than the ability to slightly alter course by pulling extremely hard on the wheel. The vehicle had no lights, the shoulders were unplowed, stopping wasn't a good idea. As good fortune would have it, the cicero ny exit presented itself at that moment. I was able to pull extremely hard on the wheel and was able to steer the slight curve. At the bottom, i discovered i had no breaks. I shot across the usually busy ny 31 and into a kwikstop, where i stomped on the emergency brake and came to a stop. We shortly discovered a fire underneath the engine and were able to extinguish it with snow.i cannot believe a steering system like this is permitted. Had i known it had this system and its limitations, id never have bought the car. If my son and i had been killed that night, it would have all been chalked up to road conditions. In furious about this system. It needs to be recalled.....now.
Rear window defroster/ went to use / light never came on .this was in colder weather defroster hasn't worked since then! vehicle was stationary.
Rear glass window on 2011 f150 with power slider-driver side back quarter glass shattered, while driving.rear defroster was on.ihave researched this issue and have seen many complaints reported online.i am glad my children weren't in the back seat at the time this happened and it stayed in the frame and did not blow out/into the rear vehicle passenger area
From a dead stop i accelerated to turn into her driveway the engine hesitated and stumbled it sounded like you had thrown a handful of marbles inside the intake the engine made a funny noise then died after getting it restarted the check engine light came on upon returning the vehicle to the dealership i found out it had melted the intake manifold sensors and part of the throttle body away ford has no idea what caused this the truck is also been plagued with electrical problems. Apparently it came real close to an engine fire the truck is still broke down at the dealership since august 5, 2011.
Molded lead frame and oss replacement.i was not notified of the molded lead frame recall 16n02.i experienced the electrical issue described in the recall in my driveway.my dashboard lit up like a christmas tree and would only drive in first gear.i drove to a mechanic that was closer than the ford dealer and was off of back roads so i could drive in first gear.i paid for the repair.i recently received a recall notice 19s07 which is for programming the oss sensor.i asked to be reimbursed for my repair and i was told no by crescent ford & trucks.they said 19s07 is for programming only.i believe ford should reimburse me for the lead frame, connector, automatic transmission fluid, and the speed sensor.
I have already reported this piece of junk but needed to add to the list?. We, as of last week, are on our 15th rental while the dealer and ford are trying to figure out whats wrong with it again?. The engine light has been coming on since the week we bought this junk and is still flashing while we drive?.. The dealer has asked ford to put in a new engine several times but ford for some reason wants the dealer to just keep replacing the same parts over and over again?? we have had several new sets of plugs.. The others crack and short out? we've had cam phasers and sensors replaced?? fast forwarding through many parts repeatedly replaced, the dealer now says there are parts sheared off in the engine and are asking ford, once again to replace the engine?. We are waiting on ford to (probably) decline the dealers recommendation?.. Ford stopped calling us back, we have left several messages and they just keep passing the buck onto the poor dealer, who has been trying to help us?.. Ford should have taken this lemon back long ago and gave us a new one?..our 15th rental might be with us for some time while we wait on an answer?? we sometimes have our rentals for over a month at a time??. Its nice to keep paying on time for a vehicle that we don't even have?(sarcasm).
Rear defroster quit working for awhile. Turned on the truck today. It was about 26f outside. I tried to turn on my rear defroster button again. It did not turn on. I was driving down the road about 35-40 mph. Heard a loud bang, noticed my drivers side rear sliding window is now shattered. Called the ford dealership they had no idea of this happending. Called ford customer care, they had no idea of this either. It seems like everyone else on the internet knows of this issue except ford and their dealers.
On 11/25/17 i was travelling on the highway at approximately 65 mph and the truck started bucking and downshifting. I was able to safely pull off at the next exit and park the truck and had to have it towed to a trusted repair shop. The truck was still bucking fairly violently even at slow speeds while i was trying to park it. The truck would also not shift into reverse. Repairs were performed and a transmission shift solenoid and harness was found to be faulty.
Turned on the remote start which apparently has a factory setting that the rear defrost automatically comes on. Come out to the vehicle and the passenger side rear slider is shattered.
Rear sliding window defroster stopped working and driver's side heated seat also stopped working. Prior to heated seat stopping to work, it became so hot it actually made my leg so hot it hurt.if i was wearing shorts skin would of been burnt.at the time seat and defroster stopped working i smelled wires burning.googled these problems i saw this is a very common occurrence.took my truck to dealership, ford will fix seat , but it will cost me $100 deductible.rear window defroster is not covered by my extended warranty.at this time waiting to hear back from ford.there are at least 20-30 complaints on this site about rear defroster, ford needs to be held accountable for this defect.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph, the speedometer needle began to swing and provided various incorrect readings. The vehicle came to a sudden halt and the rear of the vehicle veered. In addition, while starting from a stop, the vehicle jerked violently. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 54,000.
Rear window shattered when rear defrost was running. Defrost had been running for 10 minutes. Very loud pop while i was driving on the interstate.
I was driving on the highway, in the right lane, doing about 60 mph.for some unknown reason, the truck simply shut off and lost all power.i coasted to the shoulder and waited a minute or so to calm down and decide what to do.i then tried to restart the truck, and it started right up.i nervously drove the rest of the 25 miles or so to my home without incident.the truck also seemed to run fine for the next couple of days until i could get it into the dealership to have it looked at. The dealer determined that the battery was bad (only 2+ years old) and replaced it under warranty.it seems odd to me that the battery was the problem, since the truck restarted easily and ran well for the next few days.however, the new battery does seem to have cured the problem as it hasn't repeated the traveling shut down.i am cautious and nervous now about driving over it for fear it might shut off again.it is actually similar to what the gm cobalt owners experienced, although this does not appear to be ignition related.i have written to ford to see if they would confirm what the dealer told me - that a weak battery could cause a vehicle to quit while running.i am hoping that by documenting this incident, i will find out if other owners of newer f150s have had similar full speed shut downs.i'm trying to decide whether to keep the truck or sell it because i still don't trust it.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 3 mph, the fuel gauge switched from full to empty and the odometer failed to provide the accurate reading. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the fuel pump sensor was replaced. The odometer was not repaired and the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 82,000.
While driving my normal commute to work on an average cold day the rear defroster shorted out, caught fire and blew out the rear window on the passenger side (three part sliding window) following this incident the passenger seat heater and rear defroster fail to operate. At this same time the auxiliary power plug blew fuses in two devices. I took the pickup to our local dealership and told them what happened along with the fact that i have an extended 75,000 mile warranty through ford motor co. The dealership told me "glass is not covered under warranty" and sent me on my way.
Takata recalli have a 2011 f-150 fx4. Noticed the rear defrost wasn't coming on all the time, but it did come on and it must of gotten to hot...driving to work 11/24/15 getting on the freeway i heard a loud noise like something hit my truck on the roof. When i got to work...i looked on the roof...no damage. I noticed later that day that the back passenger side window had shattered...it must of gotten to hot from the defroster.looking on the internet...there are very many complaints about this problem.

If not full reimbursement , half off would ,make me a happy ford owner again and in the future. Covid 19 has left us broke . Ford please help us !!!!!
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle shuddered and failed to accelerate properly. When the failure occurred the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The failure occurred approximately nine times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 58,296. The vin was not available.
I was driveing my ford f-150 & was accelerating & the transmission wasin 4th gear & it drop straight down to 1st gear throwingme & my passengers forward. I pulled off the road as quick as i could to shut the motor off, the engines rpms was really highuntil i could shut the engine down. My truck was just reprogramfor thisinseptember2016 .because ford recalled them for this very reason.
My left panel of the rear window is shattered after turning the rear defrost on. Called ford, they will not replace.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated thata circuit spark caused the glass from the rear window to shatter. The dealer diagnosed that there was a circuit malfunction and could not repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.
Been having problems with the stability control light popping up on the screen when all of a sudden my steering wheel locked up and the steering control light shows up. Truck won't steer left or right. Thank god i was parked when it failed. Being told it's the electronic rack n pinion box. I only have 60,000 mile on the truck. I'm 59 years old and i drive to from work. Please help.
Rear door ajar. Sensor shows driver side rear door as opened, when it has been in fact closed, closed and locked, both with and without child lock engaged.
At approximately 8 in the morning on 12/2/2018 i was at a stop getting ready to make a left turn, i had the window defroster/heat on, as well as the rear window defroster. Over the last year the rear window defroster light has illuminated intermittently but the defroster has always worked. As i started to move the vehicle, i heard a loud pop and thought someone had thrown something at my truck, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. When i got to my destination less than 5 minutes and about a mile later, i got out and looked at the roof for any sign of something hitting the roof, when i noticed a steady trail of smoke coming from the rear window area, noticed that the rubber had melted and the passenger side rear window had shattered completely. I believe this is due to an electrical short in the rear window defroster circuit, i have since removed the fuse for the rear window defroster which disables my mirror heaters. I request that nhtsa investigates this further as there have been thousands of cases of this issue and it is a known issue and ford is aware of it. It is a safety concern as it could harm a child or someone sitting in the backseat if the glass shatters and blows out of the frame as well as scaring someone causing them to react by braking, steering, etc. And possibly causing an accident. As far as i know, ford has not issued a recall and has denied responsibility. This should be addressed and fixed free of charge on ford's behalf based on the fact that it is a known manufacturer defect.
My 2011 ecoboost f150 would sputter, shake and chug as i do a hard acceleration entering a highway or pass a vehicle. 4 times i have had my truck for service with the last 12 months for the same exact problem. My engine light will flash several times and then it will stay on till i take the vehicle in for service. 2 times the dealer has told me the problem is a turbo cooler issue and want to charge me $200 for some cheap lick and stick plastic air deflector. The other 2 times they have said i have a bad distribution wire and plug. First was on cylinder 3 and second time on cylinder 1. Every time this has happened on a hard acceleration, its been during heavy traffic and i have had to pull of the road to avoid an accident. I have to now be very cautious when accelerating as i feel this truck is an accident waiting to happen. I hope someone can get this recalled as i know there is a lot of these trucks out there with the same problem.
The advancetrac system pops up and will either slow the truck down or shut it right off.. I had a mechanic look at it and it still continued to do it...i have to shut it all down and try to restart itwill sometimes drive for a short time or go for days. This has been going on for over a year where it will also go months without happening.
This afternoon i got into my vehicle. After starting my vehicle i then proceeded to turn my rear defroster on. Once i turned my rear defroster on i heard a loud pop and then noticed that my rear window was shattered. I believe that their is a defect in the rear defroster of my 2011 ford f-150 because this same incident has happened before.
I have several occasion for the past couple of years of my f150 not starting when turning the key on. I have taken it to the ford dealership several times but they couldn't determine the problem. I've had several occasion of the low oil pressure light turn on and the vehicle has stalled. Just recently i was making a right turn and at a small angle and the truck completely stalled out while driving. I had to coast to a stop without any power steering until it finally stopped. I tried to crank it over but it wouldn't start. After about 5 minutes it finally started without issue. I've had it stall twice while i lost total control of my truck and it is extremely dangerous. I had to tow it to my dealership again today. I think i may have finally found the issue which may point to a faulty 20amp fuel pump fuse. I found some articles pointing to fuse 27 and sure enough it was burnt on one side. I am completely shocked that ford is aware of this issue and not issuing a mandatory recall until all these trucks are fixed. Had this been on the freeway it could have been a complete failure of the vehicle which may have caused a serious or life threatening accident. Please force a recall.
2011 ford f150 equipped with 3.5l turbo charged engine traveling at 65 mph began misfiring and suddenly experienced a near total loss of power, causing the vehicle to slow to 25 mph quickly. The vehicle was traveling on a two lane highway with no shoulder and no place to pull off the road. This incident did not pose an immediate threat to car or driver, but under other conditions such as overtaking (passing) slower traffic, the sudden and near total loss of power could be disastrous. After quick research and consultation with the ford service center where i purchased the truck, i have learned the vehicle entered into "limp" mode to protect itself from mechanical damage. I have also found that this problem has long been acknowledged by ford motor company and has been the subject of a few technical service bulletins. Also to the best of my knowledge, ford, through this series of technical service bulletin's has failed to provide a permanent solution to this problem. I am filing this complaint in hopes that the nhtsa in cooperation with ford motor company can provide a quick and permanent solution to this problem before someone is seriously injured or worse due to an engineering flaw on a motor vehicle.
I started my vehicle on the morning of feb 8th,and turned on the rear defroster. Within 1-2 minutes i heard a pop noise and found the glass panel behind the drivers side (one of 3 glass panels) had shattered.no outside impact,it just shattered.i see doing an on-line search there are similar complaints of this problem. I contacted ford motor company and was told seeing as i was out of basic warranty,they would not be able to assist me with the cost of repairs. $625.00 + tax.
Intermittent advance trac error message seems to cause turn signals to malfunction (you have to hold lever in position to keep flashers on to indicate turning/lane change). Problem goes as mysteriously as it came- from 5mph to 55mph. Turning traction control off has no effect on it.in two weeks this problem lasted for about 10 minutes on one occasion; and from my morning commute (25min) to my evening commute (25min) on another.
My new ford f150 has recurring issues with the sync system. We drive down the road, hang up the bluetooth connected phone and the radio will begin playing at full volume and the steering wheel controls stop working, or you will be starting the car up and the air conditioning will be full blast or you will start the car and you wont have any radio/cd player/ media controls working at all. My ford rep says that ford does not have a fix and they don't expect one until maybe the first quarter of 2011.
Blend door actuator failed
2011 f150 steering failure , when failed steering failed stability control and steering went. While making turn steering would " lock" preventing tempary control of pickup, before completing trip power assist went totally out.contacted ford they state that the power assist needs to be replaced from description alone, they also had recalled multiple other vehicles for this issue how ever the f 150 is not one of those and it will cost 3 k to fix.... Umm if all your other vehicles are doing this and this one is doing the same thing then its a defect!the only thing that helped me prevent the accident from happening was my training as an evo ( emergency vehicle operator) at the time of failure i was turning in front of semi , if i would not have taken the ditch and prevented measures this would have been a quad fatality . Truck is parked at a dress given unable to drive home
While driving at 65mph on a highway in ga with my rear window defroster on, with an exterior temperature in the mid 50s, i heard a very loud bang which i initially thought was a rock kicked up by the vehicle in front of me. When i reached my destination, i found it was the passenger side rear window panel that had shattered due to the defroster overheating and was still intact because of the factory tint applied to the involved window. It's obvious the defroster was the cause because the spider webbing began at the corner/base of the window where the heating connections are in place and now my rear window defroster does not work when i attempt to activate it.
Truck has a 36 gallon gas tank. Fuel gauge does not go to full when filled. While driving fuel gauge goes to empty and message center comes on low fuel 10 miles to empty. Tank still has 20 gallons or more in tank. When filling with gas after this happens there is a high pressure release of gas fumes from the filler neck when pump nozzle is placed in the neck. An audible whoosh sound is made and the build up of gas fumes is consistent with every time the gauge and message center think the tank is empty. When starting the truck after this occurrence it takes 2-3 tries before the engine will start. The engine malfunction indicator lamp will come on for 3-20 minutes before going off. The ford vehicle health report reads "engine, transmission, amp; emissions. The truck has been serviced 8 times with no corrective results. My major concern is the build up of fumes and the possibility of fire. It appears that ford has known of this problem with trucks having 36 gallon tanks since 2008 based on comments from other owners when i googled my problem. To this date ford does not appear to have a solution to the problem.
While driving the speedometer goes to zero. The odometer displays just dashes. The engine power is reduced significantly. I pull over and shut the engine off, remove the key and then restart the truck. Then it drives normally until the next time it happens.
I rented a ford pickup truck from u-haul, and i feel that the automatic lighting controls on it are a safety issue.at night, when you open the driver's door, the dashboard illumination (speedometer, other gauges) comes on automatically.when you put in the key and start the engine, the daytime running lights (white lights on the front of the truck that are not as intense as the normal low-beam headlamps) come on.the dashboard illumination remains on at all times.*the rear red running lamps/tail lamps do not illuminate*, but this is not obvious when you are in the driver's seat.the result is that it is possible to drive at night with some white light coming out of the front of the vehicle, and the ability to read the speedometer, but with *no rear lighting*.i verified that the parking/emergency brake was fully off (as that is sometimes an input to the drls), and had a friend stand on the side of the street and observe as i drove the truck, and he verified that i had no running lights/tail lights on the back.the brake lamps operated normally when i stepped on the brake, but there was no red light to the rear unless i was stepping on the brake.all of the above was with the headlight switch off.when i clicked the headlight switch to the first position, the running lights illuminated (orange on the front near the headlamps, red in the rear lamp clusters.)when i clicked it to the second position, the normal low beams came on at full intensity.what i think should be different: either the automatic lights/drls should also turn on the tail lights at night, or there should be some indication to the driver that he needs to take additional action (operate the headlight switch) in order to have tail lights.having the speedometer illumination go out when the engine is started might be a good choice.

2011 ford f 150 with eco boost.when i accelerate the vehicle stalls out, bogs down, looses power and shutters.i have taken in the shop several times and they could not fix it.i recently took it back in and hey changed the spark plugs which helped a little however still really rough.i am thinking of filing. Lawsuit against ford.i have tied to trade out of the vehicle and i'm upside down because of bad publicity i'm being told.i thought i had. Lemon but i guess it's all the engines.
"transmission shift lever sequence, starter interlock, and transmission braking effect" and 108 lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment. These vehicles may have a transmission range sensor (trs) that was calibrated out of specification for reverse gear.
Service advance trac light comes on monthly after turning lock to lock.turn signals will not stay on after this happens until the light resets itself a day or so later.
Took vehicle 2011 f-100to ford service center for service engine light diagnosis. Ford dealer informed me vehicle was misfiring and needed plugs and coils. Dealer then informed me that the vehicle also needs steering rack replacement as codes reveal a rack failure. Service advance track light was on. Quoted $1800.00 for steering rack replacement. Vehicle now has 83200 miles on it. This light has been coming on and off for at least the last 2 years. Dealer says total failure is a certainty in time. After research on internet i find that ford has identified this problem on vehicles in my model year and has done nothing about it . Safety concern is that steering could freeze while driving and result in accident.
While driving my f150 on highway the vehicle transmission is dropping gears suddenly, it seems its going to first gear, another problem i am having with the vehicle's transmission does not go into reverse, when i push the shift lever in the reverse position, the vehicle's transmission does go in reverse, the reverse light does not illuminate on the dashboard of my f-150 and the backup lamp on the rear of my f-150does not illuminate.
2011 f-150 fx4. Service advancetrac warning light displays. It comes on when i start up the vehicle stationary. The turn signals stop working, too. The next day the light will be off. Appears to be a common manufacturing defect that should be a recall just like on the 2014 f-150s as it is a issues of safety.
While driving and under no particular common conditions, the dashboard, instrument gauges, interior lighting, headlights, navigation panel suddenly begin flashing and blacking out. Then after a few seconds, come back to normal, but typically with a "traction control service" message on with the trouble light remaining on. This happens about every 10 minutes of driving. Once in a while, it lasted longer and clunking noises seemed to come from the drive train. However, a few occurrences were while turning and the power steering was out. I took it to a belle tire nearby and they could not fix the problem, saying the dealer had toupdate the abs module and gave me a printout of tsb 12-11-18 [attached scan]. They circled diagnostic trouble codes c1278 and c1963 as the ones that popped up in their analysis.i find no recalls of this item, but the steering issue is certainly dangerous.
Takata recall'- our truck keeps shifting into several gears causing the truck to pull back hard and unable to drive on highway due to shifting changes which can't be controlled by the driver.
While driving thru a parking lot i received a warning "service advantrac" then while making a turn into a food drive thru another alarm went off. Power steering assist fault. I lost all power steering and nearly crashed into the drive thru sign. This all happened within minutes. When the steering goes out there is not advanced indications or warnings until it happens. The electric assist motor is just disabled. You have no steering at that point. It is harder to turn then an older manual steering vehicle. The entire rack n pinion steering unit has to be replaced due to under engineering. It is one motor but is embedded into the rack. The cost alone is 1200.00 for the rack not including labor to install and reprogram. To me this is an extreme safety issue that will some day get someone severely injured or death due to a non steering vehicle. At the time of the failure i had just driven over a very steep and windy mountain road. Scary to think what might have happened if it had failed on that road.
Upon starting vehicle and beginning movement, the brakes do not work for a short time.engine light has came on.pressing on gas pedal movement is sluggish.
Driving down the highway at 70 mph with no other previous indications the steering wheel jerked hard to the right then the power steering was gone. The power steering fault message and service advancetrac message were displayed on the message center. I pulled to the side of the road and attempted a shut down and restart. The service power steering now message was then displayed.
While driving epas steering went out while making a right turn causing me to almost strike drivers side of a car.
During operation with vehicle in motion on a street, power steering shut off, directional signals would not stay on when used.diagnosed at a ford dealership as an epas failure.
Right after we purchased the vehicle it started sending signals for error codes. Taken to shop cleared codes ,started again a week later. Now the electric steering system has gone out. No warning just stopped working.the vehicle has 91037 miles on it.
While traveling the vehicle unexpectedly puts itself into park.the vehicle then locks up the breaks and skids across the road.after skidding the vehicle's throttle does not work and the vehicle is inoperable. This has happened for approximately two (2) years.it has happened while driving at high speed (70 mph) on a limited access highway facility.it has occurred at stop lights.in one instance while at a stop light the vehicle ceased to operate and was struck by another vehicle.last week was notified by the vehicle manufacturer that they were conducting a recall for the exact reason that has caused me problems for the past two years.the malfunction has caused mechanical damages to the vehicle's suspension, steering, tires, and acceleration.the vehicle vibrates uncontrollably at any speed over 35 mph.there are also rattling inside and outside of the vehicle.
I was driving one afternoon and all of a sudden when i turned my steering wheel it would let out a high pitched screeching noise and my steering wheel would lock up. I couldn't turn it left nor right because it was stuck but if i forced it it would unlock but still make the screeching sound. And this is where i am at almost wrecking 5 times that day trying to get home and not being able to drive to work with my car due to the fact my power steer is failing for no reason what so ever.
Steering lock up while driving.while making a sharp left turn in a parking lot the steering wheel locked up momentarily then became hard to turn.at the same time i heard a loud grinding or buzzing sound and the 'service advance trak' light came on.i had to have the car towed 150 miles to my mechanic.my mechanic conferred with the local ford dealer and determined that the rack and pinion had to be replace.truck has 57,000 miles on it.my mechanic expected the part to take up to a week to arrive but it was delivered the same day.dealer had several units in stock.seems strange to have that many of this p[art in stock unless there is a design or manufacturing flaw that ford has not declared.i checked the f150 online forums and there are many references to this problem.not sure what it takes to make a recall happen but given the seemingly high number of owners affected by this ford should do something to help.this cost $1745 to fix (including tow) and created a very dangerous situation.
We were traveling down the interstate when the red battery light came on.shortly thereafter loss of power steering, loss of stability control (per dash indicator), and loss of power brakes.i have had the alternator replaced 2 separate times since for a total of three (3) alternators as well as one new battery.now truck is in shop again for same malfunction.2011 ford f150 lariat. Crew cab.v-6 engine.only 54000 miles and i am anticipating my fourth (4th) alternator.i use the truck in non-mountainous terrain, mostly highway for errands, and rarely tow.i believe a recall investigation should commence.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While turning out of a parking lot at 10 mph, the steering wheel seized and the power steering indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The dealer stated that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign numbers: 11v128000 (electrical system, body control module) and 10v659000 (electrical system, body control module). The approximate failure mileage was 78,000.
While sitting at a red light. I noticed my digital electronic gear display was in 5th with my foot on the brake. When i accelerated, all of sudden, the wrench light appeared and everything on the digital display appeared as (---). The truck could barely accelerate. I drove the truck to a safe and location, with the truck barely accelerating. I parked and shut the engine off. When the vehicle was restarted and placed in drive. The digital electronic gear was in the 3rd gear. My truck would barely accelerate. I went to have a diagnosis performed and the trouble code came back as p0720 output shaft speed sensor. This is very dangerous and a safety risk. I'm terrified to drive on the interstate because my truck may all of sudden downshift to 1st and cause an accident. I have a newborn child and i'm terrified to drive around with my newborn. I purchase my vehicle brand new and i only have approx 83,000 miles on the vehicle as of today. This should not be happening. There has to be a recall on this vehicle, even though i have checked to see if there is a recall. Some vehicles produced at this time may been left off this recall. I firmly believe my vehicle was left off the recall list. I am aware of a recall similar to my incident but my vehicle is not included.
The service advancetrac light comes on regularly while trying the steering wheel at low speeds.it used to not be as common, but has gotten worse i. The past 6 months. Today i tried slowing down while making a right turn and the steering g locked up on me mid-turn. Based on the same diagnostics as hundreds of others with this problem, it's indicated that the entire steering rack will need replaced. Ford knows about this problem with not just the 2011 models, but with the 2012 and 2013 models as well.
While driving auto transmission will not shift up from 1st gear and while traveling truck will down shift to first for no apparent reason, thus causing a strain on engine and transmission.
On three separate occasions while backing into my driveway in my 2011 ford f150 xlt as i turned my steering wheel sharply to the right and began backing up my service advance trac warning light lit up. Each time the light would go away upon restarting the truck. The forth time it came on while conducting a 3 point turn at slow speed, however the light remained on and dash displayed a picture offront wheels at hard lock right reading 37degrees of angle while i was driving straight ahead. At that time my turn signals stopped working unless held on. Upon restarting the truck the warning remained on and display failed to show change in wheel position when turning steering wheel. I brought it in to dealer to have it checked and two codes were present (c1b00 and u2101). I was told vehicle needs electronic steering rack replaced. I then looked issue up and found there is already a tsb for this issue. I feel lucky that this issue has only occurred at slow speeds others were less fortunate and were involved in potentially deadly accidents. Other accounts of this issue began as mine and problem progressed into a total loss of power steering andin ability to straiten steering wheel. I feel ford needs to look further into this potentially deadly issue!
Vehicle was designed with steering angle sensor inside the steering gear. Sensor has failed and is not serviceable and will cost $2200 for repair. Since the sensor has failed the entire vehicle stability control system is disabled causing a major safety concern. Ford used this design from 11/03/10 to 01/03/11. This design was replaced with one which places the sensor in the steering column for easy replacement. I have contacted ford for repair assistance and so far all claims have been denied.
Intermittent advance trac error message seems to cause turn signals to malfunction (you have to hold lever in position to keep flashers on to indicate turning/lane change). Problem goes as mysteriously as it came- from 5mph to 55mph. Turning traction control off has no effect on it.in two weeks this problem lasted for about 10 minutes on one occasion; and from my morning commute (25min) to my evening commute (25min) on another.
Power steering keeps popping when turning and locks up
2011 ford f150 lariat - when accelerating to pass, engine lights will flash and the truck will lose power. After several seconds of flashing, the engine light stays on and the truck decelerates. I shut the truck off and then re-started but the engine light stayed on. I was traveling on a highway and had to pull off to a city street. Very dangerous situation.
While backing up and upon turning the service advancetrac light came on and stayed on. I researched and found that ford has been having problems since 2011 for the electric steering rack and pinion (it was new technology for the 2011 model) going bad and could cause an accident if you lose power steering and there have been tsb's about said problem and no recall has been done regarding this dangerous problem. This should be recalled knowing there is thousands of people having this problem and having to pay over $2k to get this fixed when ford knows about said problem and will do nothing to help the consumer for this is a safety issue and someone could get seriously hurt.
When i drive my power steering will go out as i'm turning it will be fine one min and the next min i'm in the grass trying not to die
The advancetrac system pops up and will either slow the truck down or shut it right off.. I had a mechanic look at it and it still continued to do it...i have to shut it all down and try to restart itwill sometimes drive for a short time or go for days. This has been going on for over a year where it will also go months without happening.
My 2011 ford f150, with less than 23500 miles, suddenly developed problems with its electronic steering system consisting of (a) very loose steering, (b) a "service advanctrac" warning message, (c) the control for the left & right blinkers no longer working.i was driving down a dirt at a low rate of speed when the problem struck without warning, and then got onto a paved road where the steering continued to feel very 'sloppy' and somewhat difficult to control the truck.the local ford dealership diagnosed the problem with the epas (electronic) steering system which was first introduced on the 2011 f150 model.they first quoted $1300 to repair it since i am out of the 3/36 warranty, but later came down to $480 when i complained about it being a safety issue and that it was ridiculous for something like this to happen on a truck with less than 25k miles (mostly highway miles).according to the dealer, ford covered the cost of the expensive replacement part.there are many online complaints (websites & nhtsa) regarding problems with the ford epas steering system.its sudden and unexplainable failure, especially on trucks with low mileage, makes this a significant safety concern in my opinion.
As you are driving the slightest bump makes the steering hard tokeep vehicle from swerving . The hotter it is outside the more difficult it is to maneuver .
Sudden and random downshifting. While in drive, the transmission will suddenly downshift into a lower gear, completely at random. This causes a major lurch and "jump" in the transmission and speed decreases greatly. Happens at high and low speeds. Does not seem to be induced by "hard" driving or gentle driving. Cannot force it to occur. Have not taken it into dealer to be checked as no codes (engine light or gear) appears. This is a known recall issue for other f150's but my truck isn't covered, but is definitely having the same issues.
I was turning my 2011 f150 around in a lot when a steering error warning poped up on dash along with a stability control error. Steering froze and i did not have steering control. Took all effort to force vehicle to turn and avoid a collision steering was extremely hard to turn with a loud buzzing noise and limited turning range (about 2/3 of normal range left and right. Drove home this way (about 15 miles). Was extremely difficult to control vehicle and very nerve racking. Being a mechanic i scanned codes and it appears that the electronic steering gear failed. This is a very dangerous system i shudder when i think of the consequences had i been driving at highway speed. If there is not a recall for this issue there should be before someone is killed. I included the scanned codes below.
Theres a paralytic short in the truck that drains the battery within hours. The truck needs to be jumped everytime i try to start the vehicle. I have replaced the alternator and battery but the source is coming from the ecu. !
My back signal light doesn't work and has a rapid flashing on the dashboard. I was told it was my bcm control and needed to be replaced. Which is expensive is there any type of recall on the bcm control.
Been having problems with the stability control light popping up on the screen when all of a sudden my steering wheel locked up and the steering control light shows up. Truck won't steer left or right. Thank god i was parked when it failed. Being told it's the electronic rack n pinion box. I only have 60,000 mile on the truck. I'm 59 years old and i drive to from work. Please help.
Advancetrac with roll stability control (rsc) (traction/stability control) comes on late or not at all.when it does come on it it over corrects. (when it does not come on)if you do not manually correct for the skid/slide you will lose control.if itdoes come on (5-20seconds late), it over corrects usually causing loss of control again.

My truck would intermittanly make a chirping noise and would temporarily be hard to steer while driving around town.one of the warning lights came on so i took it into the ford dealer.the first time, which occurred in june, they couldn't find anything wrong.the second time i took it in (7/21/17), the ford dealer called and told me the electronic stability control was shot and needed to be replaced.they told me that i was lucky i brought it in as it was hard to steer. I have did an internet search and found this problem has caused ford trucks to crash.i wrote a letter to ford detailing the problem (attached) and sent them links to complaints from other ford truck owners.
Advancetrac service lights comes on intermittently. While making right hand turns,shutting off vehicle and restarting resets light till the next time it comes on. On one occasion the turn signals would not stay locked on.took it to the local ford dealer this morning, diagnoses replace steering rack cost $1,432.00
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 10 mph, the stability control warning indicator illuminated and the turn signals were inoperable. The vehicle was taken to gjovik ford inc (located at 2600 us-34, sandwich, il 60548, (630) 552-8058) where it was diagnosed that the steering gear needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 47,000.*as
During routine road driving, the service advance-trac light came on the dash. This was at 7490 miles. The truck was taken to be serviced. The rcm was replaced. At 9130 miles the service advance trac warning light again came on. The truck was taken to be serviced and the abs module was updated. The truck is currently at the dealer for the same warning light. It has been there for a week. The mileage was about 9400 miles on the third trip for the same problem. I drive snowy and icy roads in the winter and feel that the disabling of my advance trac system compromises my safety on slippery roads.
Advancetrac service light comes on while making right hand turns. After stopping and restarting the vehicle the light stays out for a while, then comes back on.on one occasion the turn signals also failed to work.
Lost power,engine died under hard acceleration while trying to pass a car.checked with the local ford dealer and the customer relations center at ford and they claim they never heard of such a problem.
Accelerating onto interstate from on ramp, sudden loss of power, vehicle shuddered, lost power and speed. Vehicles around me on interstate had to swerve to avoid hitting truck. Truck gradually regained speed over next 1/4 to 1/2 mile.approximately 24 hours and 400 miles later the check engine light came on.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving 62 mph, the vehicle began to shake violently and decrease speed. The check engine light illuminated simultaneously. The vehicle was not taken for inspection or repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
I own a 2011 ford f-150 ecoboost and have had issues that ford wishes to ignore and which i consider a serious safety hazard. Approx. Oct 16, 2013, while driving on interstate during rainy weather, i accelerated to pass, on the left, a tt/st that was in the right lane. As i started to pass, at approx. 3500 rpm, the engine stalledand the check engine light flashed. I was nearly rear ended by the vehicle that was behind me, due to the stall and sudden deceleration. I brought the vehicle to the ford dealer on several occasions and to this date the same thing occurs , only this time the check engine light stays on. Ford's fix is to replace the coil and all six spark plugs at a cost of $400, stating the issue is a maintenance issue not covered under warranty (vehicle still under warranty). Ford refuses to recognize the danger this problem creates for the occupants and would rather use a band-aid approach, rather than fix the problems , which appears to be moisture dumped into the engine from the cold-air-charge(intercooler) for the turbos.i have done my homework and have found this to be a common issue and in most cases, ford replaces the ignition coil and spark plugs , only to have the same thing happen again.again , ford is putting the occupants of these vehicles at risk caused by the sudden deceleration and refuses to do the right thing and repair the problem.
Under hard acceleration into traffic or when passing, vehicle will suddenly lose power and go into a "limp mode." this condition is thought to occur because of engine misfire and several factors have been identified that can cause this in the ecoboost 3.5l v6.the dealer has replaced ignition coils with no success in correcting this issue.my service manager shared with me that ford engineering is well aware of the issue and has yet to come up with a solution to correct it.in the meantime, my family is placed at risk of an accident because there is no way to predict when the engine will suddenly lose power when you need it most for passing or merging situations.this becomes even worse when pulling a trailer.nhtsa should demand that ford immediately recall and repair these vehicles, or replace them until an appropriate solution is found to remedy the misfire condition and resultant lost of power.
Traveling on 4 lane highway during period of train, accelerated to pass vehicles, my truck eco-boost motor acceleration stagnated and vehicle began to shutter, was unable to pass, decelerated and stagnation stopped. Incident occurred when ever i tried to accelerated during active rain during a 9 hour interstate trip.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the vehicle downshifted and the rear wheels seized. In addition, the rpm gauge decreased to zero and the wrench symbol illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not included innhtsa campaign number: 16v248000 (power train). The failure mileage was 181,000.
Transmission shifted in to 2nd at 50 mph..lost control hit a fence pole..blew up my tranny..nobody will help with towing
I approaching an intersection and let off the gas, and started to slowdown several hundred yards before coming to intersection. The f-150 suddenly began to accelerate without my foot on the gas and my foot apply as hard as i could to the brake. The truck was accelerating on own. Abs kicked in and pulsed. But again truck was accelerating without my foot on the gas i complete made sure foot was removed and both feet on brakes. Attempted to pump and immediately after relating from brake as pumping to try and stop as hard stop didn't work it was like it was building up and shoot out like a bullet and hit car in front me. Once hit then quit accelerating. The front lifted up and full accelerating but feet were both on brakes.lucky no one was hurt. Small damage to both vehicle because was as low speed intersection. If there wasn't a vehicle in front me. I would shot into intersection where only who knows what could have occurred to myself and others. This was a life threatening situation, that could have gone really bad.. End result could have been fatal. This needs to be investigated by ford and no one else should be injured or lives taken from an issue that needs immediate attention and resolution to the vehicle owners that are scared to drive there vehicle because of this occurrence. Ford needs to make this right and make sure all vehicles this is reported on are safe or taken out of commission to make our roads safe for others and drives.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Went to pass car engine began sputtering and shaking had to pull off road to avoid accident .turned engine off and back on as directed by dealership for this on going problem but didn't correct this problem time .been fighting this problem since 2011 and just read where ford was suppose to fix it .are y'all waiting till someone gets killed?
When i'm accelerating the engine stalls, i may be leaving a stop sign climbing over an overpass or passing another slower vehicle. Seems to happen more often about 40mph to 70mph.
Under hard acceleration on the highway, the engine began to cut out and misfire, then the check engine light began to flash. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they said the innercooler had failed and needed to be replaced. Now, at roughly 55,000 miles it has begun to do it again, i had noticed it some before, but now it is worse. I took my 2011 f150 with the ecoboost to the dealership again and they said a tsb had been written and they changed the replaced the lower air deflector. This actually made the problem worse. At wide open throttle from a stop to about 80 mph, every gear will cut out and sometimes put the engine into a protection mode beginning around 4,000 rpm. If it shakes and shudders made enough the check engine light will flash, and now it has come on and stayed on. It has been very dangerous if i pull out to make a pass and then the engine shuts down and i can no longer accelerate. This has happened dozens of times, and has been addressed twice now by the dealership without any fix.
Was on the interstate just west of st. Louis, driving at 70 mph. Was a damp rainy day. Pulled in to the passing lane to pass a semi and truck lost power, went into "limp mode" with check engine light on. I pulled back into my lane and then off to the shoulder. Turned the truck off and sat for 5 - 10 minutes. When i powered it back up, the check engine light was off. I was able to pull back onto the highway and had full power for the rest of my trip. This is the third time this problem has occurred with this truck. Both other incidents were in damp or rainy weather at highway speeds when passing or merging onto highway.
My f150 ecoboost stalled twice in the rain while trying to pass another car. The truck lost all power while i was attempting to pass a vehicle in heavy traffic. This happened on i20. The engine failed a couple years back in rain and ford installed a shroud over the intercooler. After reporting the second problem to the local dealer, ford installed a modified "new" shroud on the intercooler.the govt prematurely closed the investigation of f150 ecoboost engines that have a major flaw that affect vehicle performance.installing a modified shroud to fix a serious safety issue is not a solution.please reopen the investigation for the ford f150 owners that have the ecoboost engine.
Related to the f-150 ecoboost investigation : pe 13-018 date opened: 05/22/2013. My truck had the same intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration described in the investigation above. I was driving on a highway early morning during a heavy rain storm. As i accelerated to pass a car the truck began to shake violently and lost all power. I was forced to cut a vehicle off to pull over and shut the truck off. I was able to restart it and bring it to the dealer who told me that nothing was wrong with it.
Rapid acceleration while passing caused engine to cut out and shudder. The second time it happened in april 2013 i had to pull over and kill the engine so the computer could reset. Took vehicle to ford dealer for warranty repair, 2 months later the problem has re-occurred.
Tsb 14-0196, tsb 15-0131, tsb 16-0027 - all explain the issue, so yes ford knows it is a recurring issue. Its basically the engine rattling for 2-5 seconds when you starting the vehicle from a cold start. In mechanics terms the primary timing belt has stretched and takes that 2-5 seconds to pick up the slack.this video explains it very well. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wt3ac_h8wl0 ford only covers this issue for 5yr/60k miles which is terrible. Tons of different models of fords have this issue over a variety of different years. This should easily be a recall on fords or atleast an extension in warranty. This repair will cost around $2000 to have a ford dealer fix it for you. I currently only have 62k miles on my truck and ford still won't even give me a discount for the repairs. Im only 2k miles over the warranty mark and still get nothing? i've loved ford trucks for years but after all this, its easily driving me away from wanting another ford.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving at approximately 45 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician stated that the vehicle was operating as designed, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the spark plugs needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 15,500.
Driving about 80 miles per hour, the engine battery light and overheating light came on, pulled over to find that the pulley by the idler pulley came off with part of the engine block. This should not have happened.
The engine revs and rpm suddenly increase regardless of gear.after the mph and rest of front display goes blank.after pulling over shutting of engine and restarting the truck the system resets.very dangerous at high speeds.
Truck has a 36 gallon gas tank. Fuel gauge does not go to full when filled. While driving fuel gauge goes to empty and message center comes on low fuel 10 miles to empty. Tank still has 20 gallons or more in tank. When filling with gas after this happens there is a high pressure release of gas fumes from the filler neck when pump nozzle is placed in the neck. An audible whoosh sound is made and the build up of gas fumes is consistent with every time the gauge and message center think the tank is empty. When starting the truck after this occurrence it takes 2-3 tries before the engine will start. The engine malfunction indicator lamp will come on for 3-20 minutes before going off. The ford vehicle health report reads "engine, transmission, amp; emissions. The truck has been serviced 8 times with no corrective results. My major concern is the build up of fumes and the possibility of fire. It appears that ford has known of this problem with trucks having 36 gallon tanks since 2008 based on comments from other owners when i googled my problem. To this date ford does not appear to have a solution to the problem.
Hello, we wish to file a complaint on the 3.5 l eco boost engine in our 2011 f150. We have had numerous issues of shuttering, lurching, "lag", loss of power/lack of response. We first had this issue passing a semi on a 2 lane highway july 2014, no there was no fog/rain. It immediately shuttered, shook,lurched (coughed/sputtered) loosing power as we were passing. We made maneuvers to get to the shoulder where it struggled to stay engaged. We could have been hit head on, rear ended, side-broaded by the semi or worse, a combination of all 3. Not to mention stranded. We have read of other issues, lawsuits and complaints being filed. The "shield" did not work (we have it, installed 8/2014 & flashed comp) it happened again two days in a row last week. The truck had no load either time, what if we were/are pulling our trailer? (the reason we bought this 60k truck, ford said it would) now they claim spark plugs are fowled, that is a new "fix". (not covered) however that is a separate "carbon tracking" plug issue, (the next "issue" could be the ignition plugs fowling due to carbon tracking from the moisture issue) the problem is not plugs, the major problem is moisture! ford is not addressing the moisture problem causing the "failure". They are fixing symptoms of the issue. The problem-moisture in the pistons water & engines do not mix! they have not fixed the problem which should fall under lemon law. Next there will be a terrible accident (if not fatal) due to the loss of power/response, what then? "..it was operator error, they slowed/stopped in the middle of the lane in traffic"..tests are exactly what they are; tests. We are every day life; drive the truck for transportation, not petal-metal 24/7, "grocery getters", value our truck. Since when are our lives indispensable or not important? when is any one going to do something about this safety issue before someone dies?
Driving down a two lane road in the early evening, i was 3 or 4 cars back in a long line of over a dozen vehicles. We were all stuck behind one slow moving vehicle. A chance came up to pass and i pulled into the other lane. After stepping on the throttle the truck developed a misfire. It lost nearly all power and began decelerating. In the time since pulling out to pass, a semi truck had popped up over an upcoming hill. By this point, the vehicles previously behind me had moved forward and filled in my place in line. I began evaluating my options. I was now moving slower than the traffic in the right lane, but there weren't any openings to move back over. I examined the shoulder on the left side of the road looking for safe places to pull over. There were none in the immediate vicinity. After several very tense seconds, the vehicle suddenly regained power. I had just enough time to accelerate to an opening in the right lane and get back over. Likely cause: condensation in the charge air cooler ingested into the engine upon a call for power. Since the first incident this has occurred several more times. Every single time has been after cruising for some period at less than half throttle, followed by a sudden acceleration in humid or rainy conditions. Ford claims to be aware of the problem and working on a fix. However after waiting for over 8 months since my first incident i'm starting to have my doubts. I have heard reports from numerous other people saying this exact same thing has happened to them. Some of those are over a year old and are still waiting on a fix from ford. Being aware of this problem i try not to put myself into a situation that will require the sudden application of power. However i know no matter how well you plan, eventually you find yourself in a bad situation. I just hope when that occurs it isn't a humid or rainy day.
I was traveling in florida on the highway and went to pass a semi.the engine sputtered and i lost power.the check engine light came on and i had to pull off of the interstate.i shut off the engine and restarted it. The check engine light went off and the engine ran fine.several times since, the vehicle would sputter on hard acceleration and the engine light would blink.the latest time this happened, the engine light stayed on.when i took it to the dealer for repairs, i was told it was a faulty spark plug and coil and was not covered under the drivetrain warranty.the truck has done this several times since this repair.
I accelerated hard on a highway entrance ramp and the engine started to stutter to the point i thought it might stall out.i let off the gas and accelerated again more slowly with no problem.thinking it was a one off i accelerated hard again and again the car stuttered. I went easy for a couple days and then again accelerated hard a few days later with the same result.i got online and realized i wasn't the only one having issues with this engine.on 4/18/14 i took my truck to the dealership(landers ford, collierville, tn) and reported the problem.they were familiar with it and said there was a fix.this fix included installing a moisture deflector and reprogramming the computer.it was performed and i left the dealership.yesterday, 4/23/14, it happened again.i am planning on going back to the dealership tomorrow.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150.the contact stated when the vehicle was turned on the engine idled excessively and the began to smoke. The failure was experienced numerous times. The vehicle also stalled while driving approximately 20 mph.the contact was a able to drive onto the emergency lane and restart the vehicle; however, when the accelerator pedal was depressed the transmission disengagedand the rpms increased. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing but they were unable to locate the failure. The dealer replaced the turbo charger line; yet,the failure was not corrected. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.the failure mileage was 20,000. The current mileage was 23,800.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the vehicle shook and stalled. The vehicle had to remain parked for a while and multiple attempts had to be made for it to restart. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to bill alexander ford lincoln mercury (801 e 32nd st, yuma, az 85365, (928) 344-2200) where it was diagnosed and a computer reset was performed; however, the reset made things worse. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.
We were merging onto the highway outside of st. Louis mo and when the accelerator was fully depressed the engine started to misfire and power was reduced.a blinking cel was displaying on the dashboard.it seemed as though the turbo system was not adding any extra charge to the ambient air.there was a pronounced vibration to the vehicle that seemed to originate from the engine/drive train.luckily there as not a lot of traffic at the time and our poor acceleration did not result in an accident.my solution was to manually select the gears and drive at much higher rpm.this smoothed the misfire and we had an adequate amount of power to keep up with traffic.after about 10 minutes everything smoothed out and the misfire was gone.truck behavior returned to normal.the weather that day was a pleasant 60 degrees and sunny.the previous day we drove from central ohio to st. Louis through much rain and fog.since we were on vacation and away from home we did not take the truck to a dealer to be serviced.the problem has not occurred since then.there was one previous occurrence at a previous date.i don't know exactly when it was.we were traveling home to vt from ohio.we had been driving for many hours, mostly on highway/cruise control driving.we had just gotten off the interstate highway and were on state highway.i went to pass a slower vehicle in my lane and upon depressing the accelerator the engine seemed to misfire (rpm went up but power delivery fell flat).i stepped off the gas pedal and slowly pressed a second time and this time the truck responded as expected.there was no cel this time.each of these incidents occurred with my entire family in the vehicle.we were not very happy about it and did not feel safe at the time.
I experienced lack of acceleration, sputtering, and shaking when trying to accelerate onto the interstate from a merge ramp.this event nearly caused a serious accident.my expectation was for vehicle to perform at normal standards and get me safely onto the highway.it failed to do so!
As described in nhtsa action number pe13018- hard acceleration and the engine misfired while trying to pass a vehicle on a highway.
Truck has loss of power when pulling out to pass at highway speeds nearly causing head on crashes.
While traveling a two lane hwy, on rt 81 from tennessee to virginia in the early hours of the morning ,we were pulling our 24 foot camping trailer, we were behind a tt unit and there was a tt unit behind us , we were all attempting to pass a slower mv in the right hand lane, when i tried to accelerate the truck shuddered and the engine completely went limp, the engine light came on and we were barley able to make it to the side of the road, and prevent an accident ,. When we did get to the side of the road the engine light continued to flash and the truck was not running..
When coming to a stoplight on a city street, brakes were applied but the engine raced to a high rpm . Next i pushed pedal harder but rear tires were now spinning on dry pavement. I put f-150 truckinto park stopping inches from the car stopped ahead of me at stoplight.
Just letting you know the stumble issues to these vehicles could be dangerous had it happen a week or so ago while towing. The power was totally gone at full throttle while passing a vehicle. What if i didn't have enough time. I just discovered all this information. As i am typing this my vehicle is in the shop getting the catalytic on the driver side (bank one) replaced and a re-flash, as it threw the p0430 dtc. Again it was a drastic power loss at full throttle, when throttle released regular operation occurred. "you try letting off the throttle while in the middle of a pass, i didn't". And by the way i was a mechanic most of my working days. Just because people don't report it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. In my opinion there are a lot more of them out there with the same problem, just google it and you will see many.thank you
I experienced lack of acceleration, sputtering, shaking from the vehicle while trying to pass on a 2 lane rural highway. This is second event of this nature and the first since having ford make certain repairs to engine to correct this issue.i have the v-6 eco boost engine. I am unhappy that this engine encounters this problem and it could result in a wreck with loss of life.this should be taken seriously!
My family and i were on our way to disney world in orlando, florida when my 2011 ford 3.5 liter ecoboost f150 truck completely shut down on the interstate 10 highway in the middle of nowhere, probably 60 miles to the east of tallahassee florida.at first i thought that we were not going to make it, as the truck completely died out. I pulled off to the side and finally got the vehicle started. We had been steady state cruising with the cruise set at 70 for atleast 2-2.5 hours. After doing some reading i see that it was probably condensation in the intercooler that entered the intake tract when i had accelerated to go around a big truck that was barely making it up a hill on interstate 10. This was a real bad experience, this has happened atleast 2 times since then. Luckily i have not had a wreck or crashed, but as i keep reading up, i see many people complaining about the ecoboost f150. Now, i have a truck in the shop with a blown motor, and i can only imagine that the water getting into the motor and the motor trying to compress that water was what caused my engine failure. I metal from the internal rotating assembly shoot through the side of my engine block last week. I believe that happened due to the water and the water bending the connecting rods.please help.
Only 98,000 miles on this very well maintained truck. No engine issue, no issues at all,, and as i accelerated to pass a slow moving vehicle,which means my turbos kicked in, my engine blew up. There was a clunck and then nothing. There is actually a hole in my engine block. This never should have happened. This engine is not built to withstand the turbos. I am aware of this happening to 4 other people with the exact same ecoboost motor. I have contact d ford and no one will take responsibility for this.
On two occasions on the same date i lost power under acceleration and on the second occasion i was presented a "check engine" light.the vehicle was delivered to billy howell ford cumming, ga that same date and left with them while i was out of town for a couple of days.i had just had it in the same dealer on 8/30 complainingof missing and "backfiring", but they claimed nothing was wrong.the dealer claims to have replaced air deflector and problem has not presented itself to that extent again.however, i do experience fairly significant stalling or delay in accelerating from dead stop.
The low oil pressure light comes on when the oil is full.saying oil pump low pressure.this started about 4 weeks ago.it seems to only do this when rpm's are 1200 and below.
2011 f150 connecting rods broke at normal highway speed beating a hole in block oil is all pumped out of motor coverimg the windshield of cars behind me one was 80000 the second was only 60000.
Timing chain stretch, code p0016
While accelerating to 75mph or so, up slight hill from 65-70 mph went to pass a vehicle then truck lost vast majority of power even with all the way down and began to violently shake. Could have easily cause accident since wasn't abble to accelerate as planned to match speed of other lane. Check engine light came on. Truck continued to shake violently off and on for next mile before stopping. Problem is still ongoing under any moderate acceleration that goes over ~2000 rpm
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving various speeds there was a reduction in the engine power with an illumination of the warning indicator. The vehicle failed to accelerate over 30 mph. The failure recurred repeatedly over time. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer numerous times; however, they were unable to duplicate or remedy the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 29,000.
During rain storm or high humidity driving conditions,while at a steady speed for a few minutes, i apply the gas pedal to pass or merge, my truck stutters and loss of engine power occurs. When this happened it caused truck to slow down to unsafe speeds rapidly while on highway, causing me to steer to the side of the road to avoid a crash. The truck is still on when this happens but accelerator peddle is useless until vehicle is stopped, after a few moments it will work again. This happened multiple times and on multiple dates. One particular trip from pennsylvania to florida and back, this above condition happened no less than 15 times. Had my truck in for multiple services and nothing, but a code for misfire i believe the tech said. Had all tsb's done as of august 2013. My truck is averaging very bad gas mileage between 8.5 mpg to 12mpg. My truck also stutters while in reverse while backing out of my driveway on cold days.
When i went to accelerate the motor started to skip and lost power the light came on. This has now happen on 5 different time two times while pulling a 5th wheel camper in the rain causing traffic to make evasive moves to keep from running us over.
Misfire at high speeds. Causing engine shake and unable to accelerate. Due to this problem it is a huge risk of being rear ended because of speed drop. Huge safety concern . Spark plug and coil change only helps for a month at a time.this is in the ecoboost model
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while at a stop and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for a diagnosis. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 13,000.
I have already reported this piece of junk but needed to add to the list?. We, as of last week, are on our 15th rental while the dealer and ford are trying to figure out whats wrong with it again?. The engine light has been coming on since the week we bought this junk and is still flashing while we drive?.. The dealer has asked ford to put in a new engine several times but ford for some reason wants the dealer to just keep replacing the same parts over and over again?? we have had several new sets of plugs.. The others crack and short out? we've had cam phasers and sensors replaced?? fast forwarding through many parts repeatedly replaced, the dealer now says there are parts sheared off in the engine and are asking ford, once again to replace the engine?. We are waiting on ford to (probably) decline the dealers recommendation?.. Ford stopped calling us back, we have left several messages and they just keep passing the buck onto the poor dealer, who has been trying to help us?.. Ford should have taken this lemon back long ago and gave us a new one?..our 15th rental might be with us for some time while we wait on an answer?? we sometimes have our rentals for over a month at a time??. Its nice to keep paying on time for a vehicle that we don't even have?(sarcasm).
Timing chain replaced 2015. Started grinding noise at start up again & transmission light on again. Timing chain again has to be replaced.
Same as previously reported by many others:misfire upon acceleration up a hill;reported to dealer who found no error codes.happened again soon after, this time activating engine warning light.dealer replaced cylinder coil; next day, same type of misfire occurrence.very unsafe situation, costing me lots of time and money.in addition, this eccoboost, as i have reported to ford since it was new, has never achieved even close to rated mpg, only averaging 14 mpg or 40% less than advertised.vehicle now back at livermore ford, where technician was asked by service dept to drive unit home hooked into computer to see if problem can be diagnosed. This is an unacceptable and unsafe situation.not happy.
My truck has shuddering problems during acceleration to pass.the weather was rainy and very wet.this is not the first time i have experienced the problem.while visiting louisiana in the summer of 2012 i experienced the same issue and while in san antonio, i had the catalytic converter replaced.
According to the research i have done to this point the fist recall that i believe applies to this vehicle is tsb 13-6-8, and the 2nd is tsb 13-8-1. Both of these symptoms are prevalent to my vehicle but ford fails to act on this tsb and fails to make the necessary repairs that will remedy these issues. Once again this vehicle is now part of a field service action (15n05) for the electric vacuum pump, and will return the vehicle on 3/24/2017 to see if they will respond in this action, and once again bring these tsb's to there attention as previously done to see if they will repair the vehicle to an acceptable operating standard. If ford fails to respond to the tsb's and to the field service actions, what are my options to see these repairs take place, and my vehicle is in a safe and proper working function?
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the instrument panel seized without warning. The failure was persistent. The engine stalled while the failure was occurring. The vehicle was able to restart. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000. The vin was not available.
We were traveling on a two lane road. We were following a slow moving tractor trailer. We had been traveling for about 3 hours. It had rained earlier and was humid. I accelerated to pass and was partially around the truck when the engine of my truck started misfiring and lost power. Luckily, i was able to limp it along and get back into my lane before having a problem with oncoming traffic. The motor in my truck is the 3.5 liter ecoboost. I have seen reports of this happening to this motor, but this is the first time it happened so dramatically to mine. I don't recall having traveled for any distance in these conditions with this truck. The truck is scheduled to have this problem looked at. It was explained to me that there are different repairs depending on how the truck is equipped. This was a very dangerous event and i believe this should have been taken care of before the incident happened. I have read of a possible recall of the trucks with these motors to rectify the problem. It is evident to me that this needs to be done before someone isn't as lucky as we were.
Under acceleration or trying to pass a vehicle loss of power has been occuring. Trying to accelerate into interstate from on ramp have had power loss and vehicle loses all acceleration.
When passing on interstate truck lost power an went into a limp mode check engine light went to flashing which made the truck unsafe when other traffic was moving at a higher rate of speed.
My truck is equipped with the ecoboost 3.5l engine.twice now i have attempted to accelerate and had the truck lose power and shake violently, creating a very dangerous situation.the first time was attempting to pass another vehicle. Weather conditions were warm (75 degrees f) with light rain.i pulled out to pass and attempted to accelerate when the truck suddenly acted as if the gas was shut off.it then began to shake and shudder violently as if the rear axel was being ripped from beneath it.i was able to fall back behind the vehicle i was attempting to pass, out of the way of oncoming traffic, and pull to the side of the road.after shutting off and restarting the truck, it seemed to run normal.the dealership service tech inspected the truck and stated it is a problem ford is aware of (in wet conditions), but has no fixes.the second time i was attempting to enter the interstate from a rest stop into a single lane construction zone.the weather was cool (45 degrees f), dry and sunny.i attempted to accelerate to enter the highway and the truck acted as it did on the first instance.i was forced to pull off of the lane between two large construction pylons in order to avoid being struck by a tractor/trailer.the supplied dates, mileage and speed were from the most recent incident.
Drove 200 miles with cruise set at 73 mph towing an enclosed trailer, damp cool conditions. Pulled off freeway to fuel up. While accelerating on the on ramp to get back on the freeway, vehicle stumbled, lost all power to the wheels, truck would not accelerate. Removed foot from accelerator for a few seconds and pressed down again, this time the truck accelerated. Happened again 2 days later while driving through fog. Vehicle is a 2011 f-150 equipped with the ecoboost engine. Intercooler condensation is the suspected culprit.
Vehicle shifts hard when not under power. When under power vehicle backfires,mis fires, loses acceleration completely. Have brought vehicle to deal 4 times and have been told there is nothing they can do. There is black sut on the exhaust. I do not feel safe driving in the vehicle if it cannot accelerate or will just completely shut off.
I purchased my 2011 f150 ecoboost in used condition in 2014.the primary use for my truck is around town errands and hauling light loads.for sometime now i have had issues, like many others have complained as well, during acceleration at 45+mph the engine loses it's power, shudders and stalls.once there is a reduction in the amount of throttle, it takes a few minutes to regain "normal" driving conditions.for example, my family and i were coming home from florida on the parkway, in july and with no abnormal weather conditions, and as i was ascending a grade about 75 miles per hour and a semi truck behind me, i gave the truck more throttle and it began to shudder violently, a subtle backfire, and lost power and could not regain throttle response.i quickly moved the truck into the emergency lane and had let the truck return to a normal idle, took a few minutes, before almost getting into a serious collision with the semi-truck.over the past years i have just dealt with the issue and have taken it to mechanics and scanned the truck with no error codes or issues, until just recently.the mechanic scanned it and it showed misfires on #4 and #6.he replaced the coil and plug hoping that would be the cure, but with no luck it did not solve the issue.i'm reluctant to drop another $250.00 to replace the rest of the coils, but i don't know what else to do.i do not have disposable income and the truck is paid for, i and can't afford to get another vehicle.i enjoy my f150 and plan on keeping it until the wheels fall off.i have read post after post and video's that there are many people experiencing the same issues, but it seems no one is willing to step forward and make the complaint.i want this issue addressed and i hope ford will resolve the issue before someone is seriously injured or a life is taken over this problem.
Ecoboost f150. Loss of power when raining while towing.the truck started shaking, lost power and the cel flashed.we were nearly killed on the interstate.this happens every time it rains and we drive more that 45 minutes in the rain.my family no longer feels safe.cars have ran off the road to avoid hitting us.i am afraid my family will be injured.ford keeps sending me away saying they cannot duplicate the issue, (no kidding, it has to be damp and driven in for an extended period).
When accelerating and approaching freeway speed, engine stumbled, preventing acceleration. I let off the accelerator and problem didn't occur again. I reported this to the dealer, but they stated that since the vehicle did not register a code there was nothing they could do. I have since had this happen again on july 17 & 18, 2015, but this time the engine light did come on, so i'm assuming it did register a code. On july 17, it was a clear dry day, the following day it happened again, but it was raining all day. Once on the freeway, whenever i stepped on the accelerator, even when at freeway speed, the engine would stumble and barely accelerate. I've contacted the dealer and scheduled an inspection for july 29, 2015. The vehicle currently has 47000 miles. I've talked to ford customer service and i am being told this is not a warranty repair, but i am seeing a number of service bulletins being issued describing this exact problem. I believe this is a defect in design and should be covered under the manufacturers warranty.
Water from the cac was ingested into the engine causing a misfire.this is the 8th time it has happened to me. I have had all tsb's completed by ford and the issue still persists. The ecoboost engines are unsafe. This loss of power while merging has causes me to narrowly escape accidents 2 out of the 8 incidents. I noticed that the nhtsa closed an investigation into the ecoboost issues earlier this year. I'm suggesting that the nhtsa re-open that investigation. The tsb's are not fixing these issues and it is only a matter if time before someone is seriously injured. Please contact me with any questions.
The rr turn signal does not work at all. The rr brake light does not work at all. The rf turn signal flashes fast. The rf running light does not stay lit when using the remote to unlock the vehicle.i have checked all bulbs, that are fine, fuses fine. I should note, till it is fixed i can't get it inspected, and therefore can't get it registered.
Traveling on i 20 during heavy rain , got off interstate to refuel and after reentering interstate accelerated to get back to highway speed and truck stalled went to shaking real bad and engine light came on.would not accelerate just shook real bad and i pulled over turned it off for a few minutes and restarted and continued on.no more issues once the rain stopped.
On june 12, 2015 i was driving south on i 75 in georgia on my way to florida. I had the cruise set at around 80 mph and came up to a slower moving vehicle. I tapped the breaks to cancel the cruise control and then pressed the accelerator to pass the slower moving vehicle. As i pressed the accelerator the truck began to shake quite violently and the engine light on the dash began to flash. My truck slowed to about 55 or 60 mph. I attempted to accelerate my truck for a second time but i received no response from the throttle. I pulled the truck in to the far right lane and attempted several more times to get the truck to accelerate but with no response. About one or two miles later i felt a "kick" and the truck was back to normal like nothing had ever happened. The accelerator was working and the engine light was no longer on. I wrote the incident off to mabe getting a batch of bad gas at my last fill up.the rest of the trip and the return trip back to ohio my truck preformed fine. Fast forward to yesterday june 21, 2015 i was on my way to the store and attempted to pass a slower moving vehicle on a country road when the same thing happened. Again my truck began to shake and the engine light came on. My truck would not accelerate and i had to pull back in to my lane. After a couple hundred yards my truck snapped out of it and i could once again accelerate. After researching this issue i noticed that several other ford owners have been having similar issues. My truck is a 2011 ford f150 with the 3.5 l ecoboost v6 which seems to be the engine that is having the trouble. I also read that ford is refusing to acknowledge the potential problem with this particular engine.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at 55 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed and the gauges in the instrument panel began to fluctuate. The check engine and the wrench warning light illuminated. In addition, the gear shift indicator began to change rapidly. The failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
When driving the truck (what seemed like) shifted hard then the wrench sign came up on the screen and throttle would not work. I was doing 50 mph at the time and had to hit the hazards and pull over. Once i turned off the engine and turned it back on it seemed ok, pulled the code p2112 throttle body. Looked online and many , many people have the same issue. Can't believe this isn't a recall seeing how dangerous this is.
At 10k blowing black smoke, lose power when passing at 10k also, check engine light at 40k. Dealer found nothing wrong and cleared code and check engine light went off. At 54 k engine ran rough and wanted to stall, began to make noise. Towed to dealer. Timing chains went bad and bent valves. Dealer said 10,000 dollars for new engine. Italked to ford and they said nothing could be done. Dealer said to call them again. They said nothing can be done again. Next day dealer called and said they would do the engine for 5643.00 dollars. The truck only has 54,000 miles!
I am driving and the truck just starts slowing down. I try to accelerate and it struggles to kick in, then it finally does. I have been put in dangerous situations where i've expected my truck to work as it was designed to and it doesn't. Now, it wont start at all.the truck only has a out 132k miles and dealer is asking for $13k for new engine.
2011 f-150 super cab 4x4 with an 8ft bed 3.5 ecoboost engine, driving down the high way 60 miles an hour engine threw a rod, it blew through the entire block causing an extremely dangerous situation, started checking around have found many complaints of the same thing in the 3.5 ecoboost engines, something about ford using cheaper powdered rods, i'm not sure all i know is i had a perfectly good truck one minute and the next it's basically a loss, i just thank for no one was hurt.
The truck is making a severe rattling noise upon start up, which caused check engine light to come one.codes are saying its timing chain related.truck will loose power while driving, you can't push accelerator down without it stalling out or without it missing real bad and jerking.had truck worked on previously by ford dealer for the missing and acceleration issues.dealer said it was a coil pack and changed it out and plugs and wires.here i am within 10,000 miles later and its worst than ever.there is something seriously wrong with these ecoboost engines and timing chain issues.absolutely no reason that a $40,000+ vehicle can't make it past 70,000 miles without having timing chain issues! extremely disappointed in ford and the way they are handling this issue.zero assistance or help.next step after this official complaint will be a law suit.
Event occurred 3 times over a period from 27 oct 13 to 21 nov 13, decelerating while towing a trailer. Speed varied all three times from a high of about 60mph, to a low of 45mph. Message center would turn orange and display a wrench symbol, while the engine discontinues producing power. After pulling over, simply turning the vehicle off, then restarting, everything appears normal again. Two ford dealers "found no codes", and were unable to further diagnose the issue. The second dealer attempted to collect data via an onboard computer as well, but the event wouldn't repeat while the device was installed, nor was i towing during that time.one of these events occurred on a two lane road with no shoulder available. Traffic had to stop until i restarted. Dangerous at best. The third even occurred going up a one lane freeway flyover. I was able to coast past the bridge structures and onto the shoulder, however, this occurred during rain, and multiple other vehicles had to make accident avoiding maneuvers, including tractor trailer rigs. Very dangerous.i have replaced the vehicle.
2011 f150, 3.5l ecoboost motor, vehicle shudders and loses power during acceleration.dangerous to try and pass vehicles or even change lanes to pull over as there is power loss from engine.taken to dealer and they performed ford tsb 13-08-01.this did not fix the problem.the engine misfire continued, after returning to dealer the vehicle showed code related to same tsb after it had been applied.dealer cleared code.i have since replaced spark plugs and so far has not recurred.i have seen quite a few reports of this same issues on many ford f150 forums.i would say ford really needs to look into this problem.
Vehicle has approximately 130,000 miles. I have had the timing chain replaced, the plugs have been changed 3 times, the ignition coils have all been changed. The is an intermittent misfire which is unexplained. Ford does not have an answer for the ghosts in this machine. Upon searching the timing chain issue in the f-150 ecoboost, i have found that i am not alone, however was unlucky that mine was out of warranty. I do mostly highway driving with this vehicle. Most cases online are under 90,000 miles. It is absurd for a vehicle to experience these kind of issues with the highway driving. This is also the same engine that is being supplied to our law enforcement agencies in ford interceptor and explorer models. I am sure this issue would become escalated the moment an officer cannot pursue a vehicle because of misfires and bad timing.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150.the contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, the steering wheel was hard to turn and a warning displayed on the panel that read 'service advance trap".the vehicle was taken to the dealer.the technician was not able to diagnose the failure.in addition, the contact stated that when attempting to pass another vehicle, the accelerator pedal was activated and there was loss of acceleration as the check engine light flashed on and off.the failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 57,000.
The engine stalled (severer loss of power) as i tried to overtake/pass another vehicle. This has happened numeous times & typically occurs during humid/raining weather. I have taken the truck to the dealershipseveral times but they have yet to resolve the issue. It is my understanding that ford is very aware of the problem and has issued several technical service bulletins but, the problem still exist. Ford should be held responsible for this safety issue & forced to recall and repair these trucks before someone is seriously injured or killed.
Truck has 110,000 and requires engine replacement.engine made rattle noise upon cold start up due to timing chain stretch.cam shaft has broken off
Experienced multiple engine misfire events in past year with 3.5l ecoboost engine.dec 2015- misfire code p0300.six spark plugs replaced by napa certified shop at my cost.aug 2016 - towing 7,000 lb. Travel trailer - engine stutter & power loss going uphill, check engine light came on. Took to local ford dealer.diagnosis - cracked spark plug on cylinder 6.spark plug replaced at my cost.dec 2016 - under normal highway driving conditions.accelerated from 65 to approx 70 mph to pass semi - engine stutter & power loss.check engine light came on & truck began to shake, engine went into limp mode.had to pull over & slow to 50 mph before power came back.took to local dealership. Diagnosis - fouled spark plug & bad ignition coil on cylinder 3.coil replaced under warranty, spark plug replaced at my cost.feb 2017 - under normal highway driving conditions. Again accelerating from 65 to approx 70 mph to pass another vehicle - engine stutter & power loss.check engine light came on & truck began to shake, engine went into limp mode.had to pull over & slow to 50 mph before power came back.took to same local dealership. Diagnosis - cracked spark plug & bad ignition coil on cylinder 6.coil replaced under warranty, spark plug replaced at my cost.march 2017 - again, under normal highway driving conditions. Again accelerating from 65 to approx. 70 mph to pass another vehicle - engine stutter & power loss.check engine light came on & truck began to shake, engine went into limp mode.had to slow to 45 mph before power came back.took to same local dealership. Was told that i was now 200 miles outside of extended warranty.they would look at it but it would cost me.took to autozone for code read - error code p0305 - cylinder 5 misfire.multiple articles & online forum reports of this issue.ford appears to be ignoring the issue.
Engine lost power ,terrible shaking and vibrating,will not accelerate. Was able to leave lane of traffic,too side of highway and stop. After brief period of time was able too restart and return home to dealership for diagnosis and was told engine had misfire,but there was no fix for it at that time.this has been some 15 or 16 months,vehicle has been back too dealership 8(eight) times and still has lurching,fast idle,and service engine soon light illumination when engine is running.
Vehicle once when first bought shut down during rain conditions when trying to excel. It was like you ran into a wall. Ford then said it was a wiring harness problem. It continued missing at times over the last two years. The same thing happened again in december while trying to pass a vehicle and it was again during rain conditions and just shut down in the road. We took it into the dealership and theysaid it was tsb 13 8 1 and made repairs. Vehicle now does notrun right and gas mileage has dropped by at lest 2.5 mpg. Noticeable power loss. Vehicle is the ford 3.5 echo boost. This is a big problem for consumers who want a truck and expect power with good mpg but should not be afraid to drive or get a supposed fix that's not what you have purchased. These situations will result into some very bad accidents. I cant imagine pulling something and this happens. Bottom line consumers deserve safe reliable vehicles. We love fords and i hate i am having to complain but this is a real big problem. Please investigate. Thanks!!!!
The timing chain was stretched and the end result is a bad engine.i purchased the truck in 2015 and only put 40,000 miles on it. The truck has a total of 110,000 miles . This model (ecoboost)has had numerous issues with the timing chain and ford refuses to do anything about it because it's not a " safety hazard ". I did the oil changes always at the recommended time and took good care of the truck. I reached out to the ford dealership i purchased it from and they will not help. In fact , i was told by the service department manager they were surprised this didn't happen sooner. This is a notorious issue and fords dirty little secret.
At highway speeds the vehicle will not accelerate. It will backfire and sputter. This last incident on 1/22/2015 almost caused a serious or fatal accident at highway speeds with a tractor trailer. I tried to pass,when i stepped on the gas the engine backfired, the engine light came on and stopped running in the middle a traffic. A semi almost killed me and my passenger. I was able to get to the side of the road, turn the key off and then re-start the engine. Now the engine will barely accelerate from the start. I have an appointment on 2/4 to try to fix the problem.this has been an ongoing problem since i purchased the truck. It has now gotten increasingly worse and dangerous.
This is on the ecoboost f150. I was driving during a rain and had been around 70 miles. The weather was rainy. I went to pass a farm tractor on a 2 lane road and the vehicle stuttered and had no power to pass. I had to take evasive action and get back into my lane where there vehicle continued to sputter for approximately another 2 minutes. I took truck to ford and they replaced a converter and cooler. Last wednesday under similar conditions, the same thing happened again on a vacation trip. Oncoming traffic had to evade me as i tried to get back into my lane. It has been less than 10, 000 miles since last attempted repair was performed by dealer. Obviously the repair did not work and now i am left with a vehicle with an obvious design defect that ford doesn't know how to correct. Under different circumstances, this could be a serious safety issue.
Throttle body needs replaced after 120000 miles after car stalled into 'limp mode' going highway speeds causing a dangerous situation. Truck diagnosed at baxter ford south in omaha ne and anderson ford in libcoln ne.this is a safety concern when the truck gave no warning signs and just hesitated and slowed down with little or no response to throttling.there are hundreds of cases of this with the ford f-150 2011. There have been other fords around that year that have had throttle body issues. I don't know why this is. It a recall?
When i tried to accelerate the truck started to buck violently and lacked power.after releasing the gas pedal and coasting a bit i was able to slowly regain speed.it was raining at the time and had been raining most of the day on 12/29/14.we have not had a recurrence but have not had any rainy days either.
Loss of power. Missfire. Engine light came on and would not go off. Ecoboost 3.5 v6. Moisture problem getting in to cause problems. Turbo cooler problem. Truck is in service now on date above.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving 10 mph, the vehicle jerk and crashed into another vehicle without warning. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed but not repaired. There were no injuries reported and no medical attention was required. A police report was filed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 30,000.
I was merging into traffic after picking up my daughter from daycare. I pressed down on the accelerator firmly to gain speed to get into traffic. My truck stalled with a pinging noise coming from the engine and an uncharacteristic black smoke pouring out of the exhaust pipe. Oncoming traffic had to brake to avoid hitting my truck on my daughters side. The truck recovered but only gradually picked up speed with very little power. It was a low constant acceleration. This is the 4th time this has happened with my truck but this time it endangered my daughter so i feel that i need to speak out. This needs to be addressed before my 1.5 year old daughter or someone else gets hurt due to faulty equipment.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving various speeds and slowing down, the rear of the vehicle jerked without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed, but not repaired. The results of the diagnostic were unknown. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 130,000.
Lost power during acceleration, engine light came on instrument cluster.truck had a severe miss.drove about 20 miles in 5th gear and engine cleared up and light went off.truck then missed during accelerations all the way home.
I first noticed a rapid chirping sound from the engine when accelerating on a hill while pulling a trailer.the pickup had about 135,000 miles on it at the time. This was usually associated with an automatic downshift due to the load and the hill in order to maintain speed.the sound increased over a period of a year.then i started noticing the sound when starting with a cold engine.the sound would diminish after the engine warmed a bit, but it didn't really disappear. I finally took this pickup to an auto clinic (sequim automobile clinic, sequim, wa) with 153,000 miles on it.the manager, marv, later told me that they found the driver's side exhaust manifold warped.he said the noise was coming from a gap at the rear end of the manifold.he improved the condition by tightening bolts, but he said the only way to really make it right would be to replace the exhaust manifold. I went to youtube and found videos of others with this problem.their suggestion was to replace the exhaust manifold with one that was superior in design and construction in order to keep from having the problem, again.they indicated that the problem was due to heat generated by the engine and turbo chargers in this 3.5 l ecoboost ford engine. The manager at the auto clinic said he hadn't seen the problem from others with this engine, but the others weren't putting the engine under as much load as i am.i'm pulling a trailer of about 8500 pounds.i'm pulling it over passes about 5,000 feet in elevation and in a one month period traveling about 3,100 miles. The manufacturer rates this particular pickup to pull a trailer up to 11,500 pounds.i've also watched videos of major endurance testing by ford that indicated no problems after over 150,000 miles of operation under grueling conditions. I don't know if there is a safety issue here, but i know of no other place to report it.certainly the exhaust manifold should be able to handle the heat generated in normal operation.
Attempted to pass a car.speed at time of attempt was 55mph.time 2:20 p.m. And partly cloudy.two lane road but had plenty of time to pass or an accident could have occurred.pushed down on accelerator and the engine actually decreased speed/significant deceleration.i let up on gas pedal, maintained speed then was gradually able to pass.think the turbo had stalled.this had happened once before, shortly after i purchased the truck.at that time i was merging onto interstate and it stalled out, for a shorter duration. After the july 31 incident,i took the truck to ford to inquire about the issues some owners have had on the eco boast engine, which i have.no codes appeared so i was told they couldn't do anything.then talked to regional customer service and got the same story.i am very concerned as i use the truck to tow a 26' trailer.when the eco boast turbo works, i have plenty of power to merge or pass.the above experience was scary and i did not have the trailer behind me at the time.now i feel i can not reasonably depend on it to work as it should. I think it is the turbo but it could be the electronic gas pedal, or the transmission but i really do not think these are the issue.please help!thank you.
I would like to add to the complaints of the eco-boost. I was going about 75 mph on interstate in alabama. Floored it to pass and engine went dead. Check engine light came on. Coasted to shoulder of highway and it started to sputter and was able to get to gas station on exit about 200 yds away. Turned off engine for about 10 min. Got back on highway(with engine light off ) and was able to make it back home in east texas. Took to ford dealership to get looked at. They put on some plate on the turbo cooling radiator. Last month, took it up to iowa. Coming back, it did it again in tulsa ok. This time engine light on all the way home. Took to dealership, they said a 3 pronged cable, the prongs broke, going to one of the turbos.
Vehicle runs rough and throws a check engine light. When the engine is warm it runs smoother. After trouble shooting possible problems, it was determined to probably be a sticky valve. It is my understanding, there was a recall on this particular issue. I want to know if this truck was serviced and the issue corrected while owned by the original owner. If yes, it is broken again.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle became hesitant upon acceleration as the front end began shaking violently. The check engine warning light was also illuminated. In addition, the vehicle proceeded to accelerate forward at rapid speeds when driving 50 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The technician was unable to diagnose the acceleration failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000.
I have been having problems with engine noise ranging from a deep howling to a sound like a steel chain being drug over an aluminum ladder. I have had problems with the sync, memory seats and steering wheel, auto start, and an ongoing problem with hesitation or miss firing in the engine that cause the truck to loose power on acceleration and go into limp mode. I have had some really close calls getting onto the highway where i was almost hit from behind when the truck lost power. I have had the truck in the shop 13 times and getting ready to go back for the 14th time. I have tried the bbb and the lemon law program which i was denied by a third party arbitrator. I was expecting that because a bbb employee said 93% of all people that file a lemon law claim in missouri get denied. I have an extended warranty with 50,000 miles left on it and the ford engineer in charge of repairs says he refuses to do anything about the engine noise anymore because of the past failed repairs. This is an v6 ecoboost . I don't know what to do next.
I own a 2011 ford f150 ecoboost v6. For the past year,the engine will quit making power under acceleration when merging onto a highway or passing.i currently have 65000 miles.ford has told me there are no recalls and invited me to spend my money in their service department when this is clearly a known issue.this is clearly and unsafe issue and just a matter of time before someone attempts to merge on a highway and is hit by another vehicle because the truck suddenly lost power.
Engine completely turns off or dies and all instruments also turn off.not able to steer or navigate the vehicle at all.it's completely dead.also transmission lurches forward with no warning at low speeds causing you to slam on brakes or hit whatever is in front of you.
While trying to accelerate at high speeds, such as passing on an interstate or accelerating up an incline, the truck shudders violently and engine light flashes. If driver maintains speed, engine loses all power and engine light stays on. Loss of power at highway speeds is deadly.i was almost rear-ended while trying to accelerate up a hill in busy highway traffic.truck shuddered and lost power for 5 seconds.the truck coasted until i could apply power again to the engine.applying power caused more shuttering, but engine did not lose power again because i was closer to the top of the hill and not as much strain on the engine.
Vehicle lost acceleration when trying to pass. Engine light came on and engine started to shake. I had to turn vehicle off and restart. This now occurs anytime i attempt to accelerate...
My ecoboost engine stalled during acceleration while attempting to pass on a 2 lane road. This put me and my family in a very dangerous situation where i was in the opposing lane with no power. I have attempted to have this fixed at the dealer more than 5 times. One dealer actually put in a new sensor about 6 months ago but this has failed to fix the issue. This is a well known problem with this engine yet ford refuses to fix it.
I was accelerating to pass another vehicle, got up to approximately 65 mph when the engine stated to loose power and until i let off of the gas and began to slowly get back up to 55 mph. Vehicle is a 2011 f150 ecoboost.
Departed eureka, ca at 1600 in heavy rain on friday september 20, 2013.eureka to redding ca on highway 299.rain was heavy for about 100 miles northbound on highway 299.at about the 100 mile mark, i attempted to pass another vehicle (sudden acceleration) when the engine began to rapidly lose power and the truck started to shake violently and shudder.the engine light on the dash began to flash.at first i thought it was a flat tire.because i was in "the middle of nowhere" i continued on towards weaverville.i was climbing a steep hill, slowly and the truck continued to shake and shudder for about 6 miles until i got to the top of oregon hill (summit).when i reached the top, i put the truck in neutral and carefully coasted down the hill.within 2 miles (of coasting and the road is dry now) the flashing engine light went off and the truck appeared to return to normal operation.after this, i continued my travel to reno, nevada and had no further problems.the truck is running fine right now.
I have a 2011 ford f-150.the timing chain has stretched abnormally, causing the mileage and power to be reduced, and causing the engine to make a terrible noise (akin to a diesel starting on a cold day) when it is started, lasting for 5-10 seconds.the 2011 f-150 3.5l ecoboost timing chain stretching problem is well-known across ford user forums.there have been so many forum posts and complaints regarding this issue, yet ford has not done anything to fix the issue.this is a systemic design issue and ford needs to take ownership and provide a fix for owners that are affected by it.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While attempting to accelerate up hill, the vehicle shook violently and the rpms decreased. The contact took the vehicle to triple j ford (470 marine corps drive, tamuning, guam 96913, 671-648-2277) where it was diagnosed that the catalytic converter failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The contact returned the vehicle to the same dealer and was informed that there was no failure due to no failure diagnostic codes. When test driving the vehicle, the failure recurred at approximately 1,500 rpms. The vehicle received a replacement of the coil packs, spark plugs, o2 sensors, and an injector cleaning. On approximately august 5, 2017, the failure recurred after the second set of repairs were made. The vehicle was returned to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the turbo needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The turbo boost for the vehicle failed. The vehicle was returned to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the vacuum pipe was fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred and the instrument panel showed that the tachometer was fluctuating. The vehicle was returned to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the injector needed to be replaced. Three injectors were replaced; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and was helping to get the failures resolved. The approximate failure mileage was 56,000.
I made a left turn from a traffic light stop, as i was accelerating on a moderate rate, the engine "took off" (unintended acceleration) and immediately accelerated to ~50+mph.i switched transmission into neutral and applied the brakes and slowed down to the speed limit, ~35 mph. I checked to make sure the accelerator pedal was not stuck on the floor mat (it wasn't).i reengaged the transmission and the acceleration started immediately again.this unintended acceleration occurred three times in a stretch of about 2 miles or so, until i had a clear, safe place to pull over. The check engine light did not come on, at least not that i could notice.after i stopped the truck and started up again things were fine.i tried to"recreate" the situation by suddenly accelerating, but to no avail.i have scheduled an appointment with the dealer.the vehicle is a 2011 ford f-150 pickup with 3.5l ecoboost engine.
While driving my 2011 f150 i got of i99 at the tyrone exit. While slowing to a stop at about 35 mph the truck shifted from 5thgear to 1st which cause the wheels to squawk and slide almost causing me to lose control, i pulled over in the bk parking lot shut it off an restarted once i put it in gear to drive it showed i was in 5th gear so i shut it off again waited a few minutes s td started it again and this time it was in 3rd so i repeated. The next time it was in first so i drove home the back roads to be safeas i got up to speed it started to act up again the speedometer show i was going 0mph but i was going 25mph again the truck slammed in an out of gear i took it to my local ford deal they diagnosed it as a lead frame hope this fixes the problem as i'm scared to drive my truck. I do have videos of when its acting up but i cant figure out how to upload them.
Vehicle will down shift randomly and still haven't heard back from ford about a remedy it's an open recall
The contact owns a 2011 ford f -150. The contact stated the check engine and service engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to autonation ford gulf freeway (12227 gulf fwy, houston, tx 77034, (713) 489-2089) and informed they were unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was taken a second time to the dealer diagnosed. The contact was informed that the lead frame needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 150,000.
I have taken my truck back while under warranty they never could find anything, but it had a mis when i would get on the gas. It never really stalled out but would jump pretty good, never seemed to run really smooth. I keep telling the dealer to please check out. I give up and keep driving the truck and now that its out of warranty they find that its something to do with variable camshaftand going to cost $4,400.00 to fix not counting the other things i having to pay for that was taken back while under warranty. From the day i bought the truck water has been in the passenger floor board and now they tell me, its the heater box need replace at a cost of $1,400.00 strange they can find all this now that i have to pay for it. My truck had to be parked due to this and i now have to figure out if i want to invest any more money in a truck or just junk what should be a truck worth $30,000.00
During passing or pulling out in traffic the truck will loose power and misfire this is dangerous because you never know when it will do it. This weekend i was pulling a camper in the rain and it done it five times you have to pull over on the highway and start over when there is no one in sight and also try stopping on the interstate in the rain and pray no one hits you with your family in the vehicle. And this truck has been to the dealer fifteen times for repairs with only 15,000 miles on it.
Ecoboost engine.loud clattering on cold start.runs very rough, exhibits propensity to stall when idling, and very sluggish acceleration coupled with transmission issues.example 1:coasting on the freeway with traffic around 40mph, shifted lanes, then made attempt to accelerate and pass another vehicle, but the vehicle did not downshift.accelerator will be down to the floor, and truck will remain stuck in a low gear (like 6th) and go nowhere...zero acceleration...after a few more tries, and a few seconds later, the transmission will slam into 2nd gear, shaking the entire truck.at this point, the turbos kick in and the truck takes off like a rocket.creates 2 dangerous situations, a potential rear-end accident by the lane change without acceleration, and then the sudden, rapid, unpredictable acceleration of being randomly thrown into 2nd gear.seen various other incidents like this in other scenarios and various gears.accelerating out of a traffic circle, or out of a turn, is an easy way to see the problem.truck has basically lost its ability to accelerate/downshift on demand.example 2:stopped at a stop sign.when i then proceed into intersection...acceleration is very slow, then all of a sudden turbos kick in resulting in rapid unpredictable acceleration.often times, the wheels will spin, and if the road is dry, the truck will bounce up and down all over the road!accelerator will in the same position the entire time.i have rapidly accelerated towards cars that i didn't want to get that close to.i now have to stay even further away from cars to maintain a safe distance due to unpredictable acceleration.frustrating, because the problem is frequent now, but inconsistent.i have 2 kids in booster seats, and now i have to be especially careful when i drive with them in this truck because i feel it's unsafe.
Repeated misfires, and loss of power when accelerating, engine lights flashes. This has happened 2 additional times since the first incident. The last 2 times i narrowly avoided accidents at highway speeds. The inter-cooler has been replaced and now they say i need plugs. I need help to fix this problem.
When getting on the highway with pedal all the way down start to get shutter at 4100 rpm through 2nd gear and then when it is in 3rd gear at the same rpm it will shutter even worse and then sometimes the check engine light will come on and start blinking for up to a min and then the truck will not move at all.
While driving at about 45 mph there was a total loss of power. The engine continued to run but missing badly. Coasted off the road, stopped and when ignition was turned off and restarted the problem corrected itself. This has happened 2 times in the past two weeks. The dealer won't do anything because there is no error code recorded.this condition couldbe dangerous in heavy traffic or pulling a trailer.
This truck has a very bad habit of loosing power and throttle response after driving for extended periods in heavy rain/high humidity. This problem occurred the second day i owned this truck (original owner) and has happened several more times over the past 2 years. The most recent time it occurred i was merging onto the highway and the truck started to shake and lost all power, i ran out of room to merge and had to steer to the right of a vehicle that was in the break down lane...i had nowhere to go! my dealer has attempted the service bulletin to correct this condition but to no avail. 3.5l ecoboost is a hazard to operate under the above listed condition not only to myself but other people on the highway!
I was trying to pass a vehicle on the highway, doing 70 mph, once i tried to acceleratethe truck bogged down and almost had a head on collision. I tried to accelerate once more about 50 miles later and the same issue occurred. I researched and found this is a ongoing issue with all 2011-2013 f150 ecoboost.
I was driving my 2011 ford f-150 4x4 with the 3.5 liter ecoboost engine on hwy 12 in buxton, n.c. And i went to pass a driver, accelerating from approximately 40 mph to 55 mph and the engine bogged and lost all power. I continued to hit the gas for about another second and the wheels then locked up and the truck had several violent jerking motions before coming to a complete stop. The engine would not turn back on for an hour. I had it towed to the ford dealership (under warranty) and they reset the computer. The truck seemed to run ok in the time since then, with the exception of the occasional shuddering during hard acceleration. Now (december 2013) the truck will not accelerate at higher than 2,000 rpm when in 4th, 5th or 6th gear without shuddering and cutting power to the engine. The check engine light begins to flash during this and then turns off. Ford is not willing to cover the repair costs and despite speaking to several customer service representatives, no one at ford has acknowledged this issue happening with any other vehicles.
My ford f150 eco boostlost power suddenly while trying to enter a rural route at a stop sign.while trying to accelerateit just died for several seconds and then took off since i was pushing on the accelerator wondering what had just happened .the vehicle has been shuddering a lot on acceleration now with asubstantialloss of fuel economy . I have personally had it at two ford dealership which say they can find no problem with it , but shop foreman told me and my wife we where stuck with it and to fix it by pulling the battery cable off every once in awhile.
While driving on interstate my vehicle started to miss fire and lose power.i was hauling a horse trailer going approximately 60 mph with large 18 wheel vehicles when the engine started miss firing and loosing power.was able to get off interstate and find a local ford dealership.while driving to ford dealership the check engine light continued to flash, i finally lost all power and the truck shuddered and flashers automatically went on, was able to get to dealer ship and was diagnosed with bad #4 coil.this was replaced under warranty with a $100 deductible and 6 days later same thing happened, again while hauling horse trailer on interstate, same issues with loosing power, check engine light flashing and truck shuddered.again was lucky enough to make it to a local ford dealership, this time #6 coil was diagnosed as being bad.this was changed under warranty with another payment of $100 deductible.because this happened twice while hauling my horses, and i had another 400 miles to go before reaching my final destination, i could not take the risk of this happening and loosing power while driving on interstates with 18 wheel vehicles at 60 mph and figure i might get lucky a third time and not be killed because an 18 wheeler couldn't stop or avoid hitting me when loosing power from 60 mph to 30 mph, i chose to have the other 4 coils replaced.after getting home i did some research and see this is under investigation with nhtsa and wanted to report the same issue.the other 4 coils i had replaced were not covered under warranty and now i find out that possibly that wasn't the issue but most likely moisture accumulation in intercooler system of truck.i'm concerned i don't have a truck that can be depended upon to keep me andmy animals that are being transported in horse trailer safe.
I almost lost my life just leaving work. Made a right onto hwy & almost got smashed, no power in the peddle, with a semi coming at me full speed i'm sitting there trying to go, he blew his horn passing me in left lane... Crazy!!!!!!!this really should be a recall, not just cuz of me but for the safety of everyone!!!not cool!!! without a doubt this is a safety defect!reduced power during hard accelerationnhtsa preliminary evaluation #pe13018status:closeddate opened:may 22, 2013date closed:april 07, 2014recall:no recall issuedcomponent(s):engineengine and engine coolingsummary:on may 22, 2013, the office of defects investigation (odi) opened pe13-018 to investigate 95 complaints alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations.
Slowed down to make a turn, tried to accelerate and engine hesitated for five seconds.tried to merge into trafic and engine hesitated . This has happened many times, had to pull over on shoulder till engine picked up speed.
On august 11 2013,after about 2hrs of driving my 2011 ford f150 with the ecoboost engine at a constant 72 mph i was coming out ofa toll booth when the truck started to shudder and lose power this happened for about a minute,the truck regained power and continued.coming home on august 18th,again after alittle over 2 hours of driving,i went to pass slower traffic when the heavy shake,stutter and power loss happen.traffic behind almost ran me over .the stuttering/loss of power continued for about 3mins,in which i could not get to the side of the road and almost got my wife and i rear ended.ford motor company has had many tsb for a possible fix on the 3.5l ecoboost engine but they have not worked.please help us before someone get killed.
Bad transmission leadframe assembly as previously identified by ford in a recall causing vehicle to lose power at 65mph requiring vehicle to be stopped and restarted; ford has identified issue as 16v-248 but told me that my vehicle missed the campaign as my vehicle build date was 11 days prior to their recall dates; however, my vehicle was built at same plant (dearborn) and had same identical error codes for problem; ford rep at 866-436-7332 told me that although problem seems the same nothing can be covered; to resolve cost me $751.27. Always occurred while vehicle in motion.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving and while stopped, the engine revved uncontrollably on several occasions without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 28,000. Updated 04/05/17 ljthe consumer stated all incidents happened when vehicle is stopped, engine idling and foot on the brake.
Reference 2011 ford f-150 ecoboost:was driving on the expressway at highway speeds and slowed to about 30mph for heavytraffic. When i began to increase speed truck began to shudder and the "check engine" light came on. Started to pull toward the right shoulder from far left lane, when the engine stalled completely and had to roll without power to the shoulder. The truck/engine continued to limp to the dealer. This is the 8-9th time i've experienced this problem and the truck has left me and my kids in a dangerous situation on the interstate. To add insult to injury, each time this happened, the dealer hit me with the $100 diagnostic fee even though the truck is under warranty. All tsb's have been done and nothing has fixed the problemand actually has made matters worse by thedealer "reflashing" the truck and killing the avg. Mpg. It is well known that the issue is with the intercooler and will have future major effects on the cat converter and turbos as well as carbon issues in the rear cylinders. The truck is in the shop at this moment and i am awaiting the dealers call. Ford has done nothing to remedy this unsafe problem, that puts myself, my family and others at risk.btw, i have replaced the coils and spark plugs 4 times since the problem started at about the 34-36k mile mark.
I have been hearing rattling noise most every time i start my truck for quite some time and had suspected it to be a timing chain issue after researching this on line and finding numerous others having the same problem.however, when i took it in, the repair shop couldn't find an error code.until this past week when my check engine light finally appeared.now it is in the shop getting the timing chains replaced at a proposed cost of $3,400!i, like many many others, believe this is a recall issue though ford seems to be ignoring it.after losing a transmission earlier this year due to an official recall issue (output speed sensor (oss) failure that resulted in sudden downshifting to 1st gear at high speeds, which cost me over $7,000.,i now face another $3,400 in costs due to another flawed component in my 2011 ford f150.looks like i will be paying for my truck a couple times!ford should step up on this! i'd get rid of this truck if i could.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph, unknown warning indicators flashed on the instrument panel. Also, the heating gauge was high and the vehicle overheated. When the vehicle was parked, the gauge returned to the normal range. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. The failure persisted and the vehicle was towed to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired, but the dealer provided the contact with a cold weather front/grill. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 106,000.
While traveling on the highway in the rain the truck began to shutter and loose power during acceleration. A few days later in sunny weather it was fine with no problems accelerating.looks like from reading on the nhtsa site this is a turbo issue that occurs during humid or wet weather.since ford is aware what will they be doing to solve the issue?
My vehicle downshifts into 1st gear at all times but specifically when traveling about 70 mph, it has caused me to almost get ran into on the highway and almost seems you lose control for a bit, its been doing this for 2 1/2 years and is getting worse, i saw ford had a recall on this type of thing but they said it wasn't in my batch of trucks, i think my batch should also be investigated because my truck is doing exactly that
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph, there was an explosive sound under the hood. The driver was able to coast the vehicle onto the road shoulder. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home. An independent mechanic arrived and found that one of the engine pistons failed and penetrated the engine, which caused the engine to explode. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer, but was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number:24890103. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
My vehicle is equipped with the 3.5 liter ecoboost 6 cylinder engine.upon attempting to pass a vehicle while traveling at freeway speeds, the vehicle began to hesitate and the engine felt rough.the vehicle refused to accelerate, causing me to swerve back into the right lane to avoid being rear-ended by a vehicle traveling in the left lane.after approximately 30 - 60 seconds, the vehicle would accept throttle and resume normal operation.this problem has repeated itself on multiple occasions and my vehicle is currently at the dealership for the 7th time to remedy this problem.in only one instance of the many that i've had, i did get a check engine light on.fortunately, this was documented by the ford dealership as one entire bank of cylinders misfiring.additionally, i have been complaining of transmission shift issues, where at slow (less than 10 mph) speeds, the transmission often 'hunts' between two gears and once selected, a loud noise emanates from under the vehicle and causes the vehicle to noticeably jerki only learned of nhtsa pe13018 on 1/28/15.the first incident yielded installation of the deflector in the vicinity of the charge air cooler.another incident yielded a tsb to remove the deflector, and most recently another tsb to re-install said air deflector.in every instance of this problem, i've had to execute emergency maneuvers to avoid traffic accidents.the service manager at my local ford dealership has commented that ford engineering has no clue how to remedy this issue.my vehicle currently has approximately 75,000 miles on it and is covered under ford's extended warranty.
After 100 miles i noticed a vibration or miss while truck idles at stops. Since that time every person in the truck notices it at every stoplight or stop sign. I took truck in for service and they ran all computer test on vehicle and they informed me that there is nothing wrong that is just how vehicle runs. I ask the service rep how that can be and he advised me that there have been multiple complaints by other people and that there are no updates or recalls on it.if it gets worse to bring back and will see if they can do anything about it but at this time ford is not looking into the situation. Also on a side note chrome tow hooks are rusting and there answer to that is to clean them with steel wool what a way to be treated after making a 40,000.00 dollar purchase.one very pissed ford owner[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
We drove the vehicle 6 hours with the air conditioner on.... Parked it - started it again about 2 hours later.the vehicle revved very high, barely chugged as we drove and then the yellow "wrench" light came on - indicating transmission issues as well as a "limp home" mode.we were unable to drive the vehicle at that point and had to keep it parked.... After doing some research - we discovered that condensation had gotten into some sort of condenser and caused the eco-boost engine to misfire and essentially malfunction.
Loss of power towing boat up a hill on highway. Forced dangerous low speed on mountain highway with curves and limited visibility. Dealer inspected and spark plugs cracked at only 43k miles.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle suddenly lost acceleration power. The contact also stated that the failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to multiple dealers where the failure could not be replicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 85,000. The vin was not available.
Going around 70mph on route 95, truck suddenly shifts from 6th gear down to 1st on it's own, rear wheels locked up and i skidded nearly off the road. Luckily i had my seat belt on or i would have been thrown into the windshield it was so jolting. Came to a stop, no dash lights or engine indicators came on. Turned the truck off, waited about 5 minutes, turned the truck back on, no check engine light, everything seemed ok, slowly drove the next 2 miles to my office. Checking ford's website, there appears to be a safety recall for this issue. The molded lead frame is the issue, causing random downshifts.
Vehicle shut off going up hill weather cold and damptook truck to dealer on 5/20/13 found nothing wrong . On 5/25/13 vehicle shut off 11 times while accelerating.drove vehicle on mon may 27 shut off 9 times and we were nearly run over by semi on interstate. Engine light came onon tuesday may 28 drove to dealerwith vehicle shutting off over 10 times. Vehicle is a liability as well as a safety hazard for driver as well as other drivers.
First, this has happened many times, i would guess at a minimum 20 times over the past year or so. The date an mileage listed are estimates about the first time this happened. What usually happens is that i am waiting at a stop light and my vehicle will shutter as if it were about to stall and will then get a small burst of power and jerk forward slightly. As i mentioned, this has happened multiple times, and i always thought that my foot had come off the brake because of the jerking forward. I recently realized this was a problem when i heard about other people having similar issues.
Engine misses at times of hard acceleration. Engine ecoboost.
The truck is new to me and will miss in cases of acceleration on the highway or getting on the highway. If it were a smaller vehicle, i know i would have been run over today when trying to enter the highway already at about 60-65 mph and the engine sputtered and felt like it quit and i had to run on to the side of the road to not get hit. It has been sputtering/missing alot but never to that extreme.i hear there is an intercooler problem with the 2011 econoboost engine after asking around. Supposedly, their is moisture building up in the intercooler and is horribly damaging to the engine..
Coolant leaks at multiple points where o-rings are located.
While driving on the highway the vehicle seem to lose power i pull over to see if something major was wrong but nothing i can tell. I took it for service they told me the vehicle needed updates.a month later took another road trip the same thing happen, this is very dangerous.it happen on a major highway with vehicle driving at a high rate of speed and for my truck just loses power and speed on the highway.
Lack of acceleration -i had been driving on an interstate in heavy rain.i then stopped for gas. After stopping for gas i went through a toll boothand re-entered the interstate. The pickup would not accelerate at anormal rate. I could only go 30-40 mile per hour for the first mile or sothen it returned to normal.the computer set a code. After returning home i took the truck in to the forddealer where i purchased the vehicle. They checked the code and replaced the converter asy.
Traveling freeway speed, inside lane, sudden and complete loss of engine power, orange check engine (wrench) appears on display. Got to roadside, appeared to go into limp mode. Truck moved at own (slow) speed, i had zero throttle control. Exited freeway, shut down and restarted, issue gone. Road conditions were wet, sleet, de-icer on roadway. With traffic all around, on slick roads, this was some scary stuff right there!
A muffled noise and shake is consistent when switching gears between 3-4-5.on a recent road trip there was hesitation when i accelerated to 65mph.
I noticed my 2011 ford f-150 was running rough.i took it to the dealer and they diagnosed a cracked 3 cylinder head.in the beginning it was a blown 3rd cylinder head and was going to cost $5,000 to replace the cylinder and look at the rest of the engine. Ended up being a cracked cylinder.now looking at a new engine to the tune of $8000. This has a 5.4 liter triton engine with less than 137,000 miles on it.i bought it in 2013 with 500 miles on it.90% of miles are highway.i expected to get at least 175,000 miles out of it.i remember hearing a loud pop while going down the road but thought it was a rock thrown up from a tire.the engine ran fine and i didn't notice anything. Until a few weeks later when it was running rough.i had the spark plugs changed at a little over a 100,000 miles as recommended.my belief is that the #3 spark plug blew causing the damage to the #3 cylinder.
Coasting at low speed around 7mph i attempted to accelerate, instantly as i put my foot on the gas pedal, now not even making it to 10mph, the 3.5l ecoboost engine made an incredibly loud and hard bang and continued to grow louder and shake more violently. I came to a stop on the side of the road i shut down the truck to find oil spilling from the passenger side of the block. I had the truck towed to my local dealership and they found that two connecting rods had broke and destroyed the block. They is no concern from anyone at ford about how this could have happened.
I purchased a 2011 ford f-150 4x4 with around 41,000 miles on it from texas direct auto, on 08/18/14 with an existing warranty on it.on the morning of 09/24/14 while driving to work, i heard a loud noise and smoke starting coming out of my ac vents, hood and exhaust pipe, as well as losing power to the truck and shaking really bad.i was able to get off the freeway to park it.the truck is still under power train warranty, so i towed it to joe myers ford, houston ,tx down the street.long story short, i was told the motor blew and on 10/2/14 joe myers ford is denying the warranty because i do not have service maintenance records, then i was told it was due to abuse.joe myers ford quotes me $10,500 to install a new motor.texas direct auto where i purchased it, was not helping me out as well. The ford truck has a 3.5l v6 dir dohc 24v (ecoboost) motor.i know that nhtsa is/was investigating on these motors. I can not afford a $10,500 motor plus a paying for a $29,000 truck note.
I was driving on a highway, towing a trailer in an area of heavy congestion.when i attempted to accelerate, the vehicle began to shake violently and lost power.the engine was apparently misfiring and was running very rough.the check engine light came on and i pulled off the highway.when i stopped, i put the vehicle in neutral, but left it running.the check engine light went off and the engine seemed to run fine.but ever since then, whenever i attempt to accelerate, the vehicle shakes violently and won't accelerate.this is going to cause an accident!i checked around the internet and this seems to be a common problem with this vehicle, but when i called ford they told me i would have to pay to have a local dealer run diagnostics.they admitted that they had issued a technical service bulletin to the dealers on a possible fix for the problem, but reading the other complaints on this nhtsa website, the fix did not solve the problem.i've never sued anyone in my life, but i see there is a class-action lawsuit against ford for this problem.i was hoping that if enough people report this problem that ford would do the right thing- we shall see....
Returning home from a weekend camping trip with my family and pulling a travel trailer via i-81 in va, i depressed the accelerator approaching a long hill, and abruptly lost all engine and drive power, the engine shuddered violently, the transmission downshifted to lower gear and the check engine light flashed a few times.we had absolutely no power and i thought the engine was going to shut off.i was in the 2nd lane from the right and had to quickly move to the right lane then to the shoulder to avoid being hit from behind.this was very dangerous while pulling a 34' travel trailer.i had to pull the vehicle to the shoulder and stop completely to regain control.i had to put the truck in park and turn it off before it returned to somewhat normal drivability.while continuing to climb the uphill grade, the engine misfired and hesitated constantly.i could only apply gently pressure to the accelerator to keep the vehicle moving.once over the hill the vehicle picked up speed and returned to normal drivability for the remainder of the trip.the same exact problem occurred again a few months later while driving south on rt-4 in md with my wife, and not pulling a trailer.this time i didn't shut the engine off, but had to pull to the shoulder to regain control and engine power.as i continued on rt4 the engine misfired and hesitated several more miles.once at my destination i turned the vehicle off, then upon departure the vehicle operated more normal, but experienced misfire and hesitations several mile returning home.the next day the vehicle operated normally, but i took it to the ford dealership to have it repaired.this is a very unsafe situation and makes me very leary driving this vehicle on a normal basis.if i was accelerating while crossing the highway and this problem happened, there is a great chance of getting into an accident or causing one.
Thousands of ford f150 owners (20011-2015) bave experiencing with ecoboost engines mostly with my most recent issue "timing chain stretching chain"and faulty cam phasers,i believe we deserve to at least get our vehicles fix.i struggle paying my truck and i cant pay 4000 dlls to fix this issue that i strongly believe is a ford's negligence.please help usmy name is [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
While traveling down i-55, towing my travel trailer on a trip from st. Louis, mo to gulf shores, al, vehicle experienced a total loss of power on the interstate. I had been driving multiple hours in the rain when in jackson, ms, i had to let off the gas to allow other vehicles to merge onto the highway. When i re-applied the gas, the vehicle started shaking violently and would not accelerate. This caused the vehicle to lose speed and drop from around 60mph to 35mph on the interstate. After letting off and re-applying gas about three times the vehicle finally recovered and i was able to continue on my way. Luckily the other drivers on the highway were able to avoid me and i was not rear-ended or otherwise caused a serious accident.
Driving on interstate.attempted to pass slow moving vehicle.truck shuddered and lost ability to accelerate.this has happened several times.dealership has been unable to fix problem, and has just reprogrammed computer each time.they now say that it's an intercooler issue.was told part is on backorder, and would be in by end of april.have attempted to contact them re: part availability, with no response, and it's now may 23rd.this truck is dangerous, and has left me on the side of the road more than once.
Code p0016, timing chain tensioner and timing chain looseness on ecoboost ford f-150. 2011 w low miles at 59,000. Common problem should be a recall.
On i-20 east headed to augusta, ga from alabama i pulled into the left lane to pass and the engine starts sputtering, skipping and lost almost all power. It happened 3 times yesterday. It was in a light rain and since there was light traffic i was able to slow down and get the engine to recover each time. This could be a real danger in heavy traffic. I tested it again this morning (08/18) and if you try to accelerate quickly it just about shuts down until you let off.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 75 mph, the vehicle decelerated independently. The contact was able to merge to the shoulder of the roadway and regain acceleration power. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 34,000.
I do not have the exact dates as to when the first incident took place.i was entering the e way merging into traffic when i tried to accelerate the vehicles lost power.i was fortunate not to be hit in the back bytraffic i had to steer quickly to the side of the road.i have taken this vehicle and two others we own in on multiple occasions for this problem.the different fixes they have tried have not worked and yet i continue to be charged for these fixes. I feel if it is a known problem ford should be taking care of the problem not charging me to try and figure it out. After reading online that i am not the only one having these problems as i have been told i felt it is important to file a complaint before someone is killed.
Under acceleration the vehicle shudders, and shakes.it seems to lose power for seconds before it picks back up.has happened several times while pulling my camper and passing vehicles on highway and interstate.the other day while driving down the parkway the truck down shifted from 6th gear to 1st or 2nd without warning.i was almost rear ended and had to drive off onto the shoulder to avoid the collision.i have contacted ford and i will be taking the truck in for warranty work on wednesday april 6th 2016.i only have 3k miles left on power train warranty and none left on bumper to bumper.i purchase ford vehicles cause of there long lasting and reliable reputation.i have two children and wife that i expect to keep safe while driving this truck.i hope ford will look deeper into the problems at hand, dont be like gm and kill people before you fix the issues.
Driving on the freeway no warning just heard a pot and i pulled over noticed oil coming out. Took it to the shop and the block had 2 holes blown out of it. Oil and everything was fine the rods just blew thru at 94,000 miles.
The first time this happened, my husband was pulling out into a center turn lane in order to merge with traffic and the motor cut out and bogged down. Just four days later, i had the same experience where the motor completely cut out while i was going through a yield sign, slowing down, and then getting on the accelerator to increase speed. I counted between 3-5 seconds before the truck started accelerating again. This is very dangerous and had someone been right behind me it could've been a bad wreck.it happened to me this first time right after i picked my truck up from the dealership and them telling me my vin didn't qualify for the tsb with replacing the cac (intercooler) and adding the air deflector plate.i have since gone to a second dealership and they are performing the tsb for me after having my truck for 5 days now, and being able to reproduce the problem easily. I hope this fixes it. I've already had a check engine light come on and my driver's side catalytic converter was replaced. I've had numerous leaks all under the 36,000 mile warranty - front main seal, transmission leak, rear diff leak, and even some deteriorating rubber gaskets in the doors, and am seriously questioning ford's quality these days.
As i was merging onto the highway, i had to accelerate to avoid a semi who was approaching in the right lane.i hard accelerated, but the truck started shaking and the check engine light began flashing.i had lost all acceleration and was forced to put my flashers on and merge to the break-down lane to avoid being run completely off the highway.the truck shook violently while in 6th gear and i had to manually shift to 5th gear to stop the truck from vibrating apart.less than 10 minutes later (while driving down the highway in 5th gear) the check engine light turned off and the truck was able to be shifted back into 6th without any vibration.this lack of acceleration is extremely dangerous and has happened more times than i can count.above was only an explanation of the last occurrence.the truck has been serviced (under warranty) where issue was discussed with ford, but they were unable to "reproduce" the problem...
Vehicle has been sputtering & missing.heavy hesitation on acceleration.on 12/01/15 my truck equipped 3.5 ecoboost started missing upon acceleration then lost all power and started to shake vigorously.after taking it to the ford dealership for diagnostics they returned with saying my engine, turbos & crankshaft are damaged and must be all replaced.i am within the 5 year warranty but exceeding the mileage with 71,000.myself & holmes tuttle ford filed a claim with ford both being denied any help.
My 2011 ford f-150 with the ecoboost package will stall upon acceleration.the engine light will flash momentarily. This is a safety issues as it causes the vehicle to act in a manner that inst predictable when changing lanes on an interstate or passing. This has happened on multiple occasions and a simple google search indicates this issue is widespread with this model.
While driving the speedometer goes to zero. The odometer displays just dashes. The engine power is reduced significantly. I pull over and shut the engine off, remove the key and then restart the truck. Then it drives normally until the next time it happens.
Six months after i bought my truck i noticed a shuttering and hesitation while i was on the highway.the shuttering happens when i am cruising at 55-60 mph.more noticeably when the truck is climbing a slight incline on the road while lightly accelerating to maintain 60 mph.i had the dealer look at it 3 times in the last 2 years.the first time they reprogrammed the transmission and the computer.it did not solve the problem.brought it back the second time and i went for a ride with the technician and he noticed the shuttering.he said there was no engine light and no codes to find out what the problem is.finally the third time they said ford is aware of the problem and there engineers are trying to find a solution.i also had problems with my transmission.i was slowing down to come to a stop and the transmission downshifted so hard i thought i got rear ended by the vehicle behind me.
While merging onto the highway, the truck shuddered violently and slowed to about 10 mph . I released the throttle and gently reapplied it and it ran fine. I took it to dealer and they couldn't replicate it. The event has happened since, but check engine light doesn't stay on , so ford unwilling to do anything about it.
2011 ford f-150 xlt supercrew 4x2.i was operating the vehicle in normal conditions earlier this week and noticed that the vehicle was not accelerating after pushing on the gas pedal.i had noticed this very intermittently over the past several months, but this issue was constant.there were no warning indicators, but when attempting to accelerate the pu seemed to be operating at about 30-40% of the expected performance level.i took into the ford service dealer, northside ford, and they mentioned it might be the pcm but they needed to start by replacing the o2 downstream sensor.they replaced the o2 downstream sensor and re-tested and it them indicated that the pcm needed to be replaced.the vehicle only has 112,500 miles so it seems odd that there was a recall (12v190000) but my vehicle was not included and it seems to be exhibiting similar problems.i would like to see if someone can look into the issue as i believe it has a similarities to the previous recalls.
On october 26 was on my way to work i was on loop 250 which is 60 mph. Got on the loop was approaching an over passwhen suddenly with no warning lights it starts jerking, a pulling, shaking. Took foot off gas pedal looked at dash no warning lights on but the speedometer and gears on dash were going crazy going up and down. Slowing down applying the brake slowly cause lots of traffic behind and i front of me. I was shaking and very upset finally pulled over and turned truck off called my husband i told him what happened. He asked if the truck turned on it did i took it to dealership going very slow. My husband met me there and i told them what happened. I was very shaken up almost in tears. This is a saftey issue im like what if the truck would have caught one of those gears when it was going up and down from 1-6 or reverse i would have flipped that truck. Please please investigate this problem before it happens to someone else and is hurt or killed. It is nov 1 and they still have not even diagnosed my vehicle. I want it fixed correctly but 1 week and not even looked at yet. That is my only vehicle and it's been very inconvenient getting to work.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While stationary, the vehicle would not start when prompted on several occasions. Palm coast ford in palm coast, florida was made aware of the failure and replaced the battery, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was aware of the failure and stated that there were no recalls. The failure mileage was 68,000.
The first time i was accelerating in an on ramp to highway speeds when the engine started missing to the point i had to abort entering the highway and pull into the emergency lane to avoid the on coming traffic. I took it to the dealer and was told that nothing could be found wrong with the engine.this has happened numerous times and i keep getting told that there are no reports of this happening on other eco boost engines.my solution is to increase the distance to get up to speed with the approaching traffic which is not always a safe practice.
My truck is having the issues outlined in the nhtsa investgation pe13018.in some cases in rainy or humid conditions the engine misfires (sometimes without any codes) and loses power when accelerating.the engine sometimes than won't shift out of a lower gear until it is shut off and restarted.the ford tsb (12-10-19) and related q&a provided to the nhtsa has a fix but because the dealership has not repeated the issues (it hasn't been humid out and they aren't doing it under highway or open throttle speeds).we have given dates, experiences and codes to the dealership (including ones in the tsb).but as they can't recreate it in the service bay, they won't make the fix.
I lose power when trying to pass a vehicle and the motor seem to shutdown and shakes.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician diagnosed that the turbo boost needed to be replaced. No repairs were made to the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 78,626.updated 4/6/15
Ford f150 3.5l ecoboost completely looses power when accelerating in passing gear. Vehicle shutters and bucks severally and does not allow any type of acceleration to be able to exit into slow lane interstate traffic. Normal operation returns after about 1.5 minutes of coasting and then gently applying accelerator to regain vehicle control. During the recovery time the engine runs very rough as if timing was completely out of sync.i drive 1000 miles per weekon interstate 95 and this condition is ongoing. I experience at least 2 or 3of these episodes per week when i try to accelerate to pass another vehicle. This is a safety concern to me because the vehicle looses power completely and does not recover until 1.5 minutes later. The check engine light comes on very time this condition occurs. When reading the error codes it only show misfiring of all cylinders (code p0300).
I went to pass another vehicle and the engine bogged with all loss of power.it was the second time this happened.the check engine light came on and engine shuddered and would not regain power until i stopped the truck and shut it off then re-started it. The first time this happened the check engine light went off and when i took it in to the dealer they could not find any issues when the diagnostics were run. The second time it happened, the check engine light came on and stayed on.truck is currently at the dealer and i am waiting to hear their findings.
While accelerating up a hill, the engine began to misfire and would not accelerate properly and actually slowed while the service engine light blinked.i was forced to pull off the highway, shut the engine off and restarted.the check engine light did not re-light and i continued on normally until attempting to pass a vehicle when the same malfunction occurred. This happened repeatedly over the past 3 months while attempting hard acceleration until it was returned to the dealer for repairs.the dealer installed a "deflector" to prevent moisture from entering the turbo or aftercooler and reprogrammed the computer.upon leaving the dealer, it was evident that the repairs did not work and the problem became worse. The engine misfires constantly resulting in an unsafe vehicle.
On february 13, 2014, my ford 2011 f-150 ecoboost began to show signs of limited throttle response coupled with a drastic reduction in power output and moderate to severe engine vibration. These symptoms occurred and were most severe under heavy engine load, while traveling uphill, high outside air temperature and with the air conditioner on.general locations: mojave high desert (joshua tree, ca) and the greater palm springs, ca area.weather conditions were generally dry with low humidity.on february 15, 2014 the symptoms described above were so violent that the check engine came on (flashing) and i pulled off the road for my own safety.i shut off the engine, allowed it to rest' and then turned the engine back on.the symptoms did not disappear completely, but they were reduced and the check engine light was no longer illuminated.on february 20, 2014 i brought my truck to yucca valley ford to have the problem diagnosed.mileage at the time of the service was 68,382 miles.a diagnosis was performed and it was determined that the engine was misfiring on the number 1 cylinder due to worn spark plugs.all 6 spark plugs were replaced and the symptoms disappeared.the truck ran fine until approximately june, 2014. The symptoms slowly began to reoccur and by early august, had fully returned.on august 8, 2014, while traveling at freeway speeds, up a steep grade, with external air temperatures in the low 100 degrees, low humidity, and the air conditioner on, the truck nearly lost all power, began to misfire and vibrate violently, and the check engine light began to flash intermittently. Upon reaching the top of the grade and the load on the engine reduced, the symptoms were reduced. The truck was again brought to the yucca yalley ford service center on saturday august 9, 2014 where it is currently awaiting diagnosis.
The truck looses power while driving down the road. Most of the time i have been driving as a slow rate of speed20-35 mph. The engine continues to run and the wrench light comes on the dash. The transmission receives no power and the truck will only coast forward . Immediate solution is to pull over, shut the engine off and restart. The truck then has power.the problem may repeat itself within miles or it may not repeat for days/weeks.this happen 18 months ago, 4 months ago, and 2 days ago.
I was reading on line about the problem with the ford f-150 eco boost engine and realize that this has happen to me several times and scare the [xxx] out of me.not realizing that there was a problem with the truck. As a matter of fact when i try to use the passing gear to pass the truck fell on it face.i would like this to go on a report of engines losing power during hard acceleration such as when passing.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Approximately 9 to 10 times i have experienced loss of power shuttering misfires and backfiring only to find fouled spark plugs i have replaced the spark plugs approximately eight times in 10,000 miles due to this condition on this ford eco-boost engine. All tsb's have been completed on the truck yet i still experience this engine problem
While attempting to cross oncoming traffic lanes to access interstate vehicle began to move then suddenly lost all power.rpm's went up to 4000 rpm but vehicle would not move.vehicles were approaching in excess of 50mph.i managed to barely avoid being struck by oncoming traffic and pulled to side of ramp.vehicle then began to move again.took vehicle in for service.dealership performed two fixes involving some form of air dam.on 02/24 vehicle did the same thing luckily in a parking lot this time.this is an extremely dangerous condition which leaves no error codes so far.i am seeing many similar complain ts online.taking vehicle in for service again on 3/3/15 as the issue occurred again today 3/2/15.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle lost power, came to a complete stop, and the rear wheels locked up. In addition, when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to accelerate. In addition, the steering wheel completely seized and the rpms increased.multiple warning lights illuminated. The failures recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v248000 (power train); however, the part needed to repair the vehicle was unavailable. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 40,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Accelerating onto the highway, experienced loss of power while check engine light was flashing. Cars were swerving around me due to my speed being slower than the flow of traffic. I put hazards on and pulled over. This is not safe for me or drivers around me. Dealer said it was an engine misfire and replaced the spark plug and coil. Since this incident it has happened multiple times. The dealer replaced another spark plug and coil. I took it in the last time and they flashed my computer and sent me on my way. The problem is still not fixed on my truck.
Ford f150 2011 ecoboost engine.in 2015, truck started to loose power going up hills or carrying a load in truck bed.then the truck went into limp mode on highway going 70 mph.so in january 2015, ford replaced timing chain at 60,000 miles.now two years later and 40k miles since - truck is havingtiming chain errors again.engine looses power and engine light and codes set saying timing chain errors.same symptoms as before.ford says truck is out of warranty and will not fix unless i pay.
After 4 hours of steady highway driving upon attempting to pass a vehicle the truck failed to downshift , lost power ( requiring me to abort maneuver)and began bucking... There was no cel. Took the car to the dealer and they inspected the truck found no codes and said no problem found. They said they reloaded the programming for the transmission. This vehicle has experienced this problem numerous times since the first occurrence. Always happens when accelerating and creates dangerous loss of power at critical drivingperiods.
When mild-accelerating to get to the highway speed limit of 75 my ford f150 ecoboost started shaking at 55 mph and at 2,500 rpm my truck starts shaking and was unable to control. I had to exit the highway and drive at a lower speed i figured it was another engine misfire that i had replaced recently on 8/2/13. I then proceed to try again on the freeway and at 55pmh it again started to shake and rattle cause me to drive on the feeder road for the remainder of my trip to work.
Upon trying to pass a truck, when i stepped on the gas for added power, the engine convulsed and shook the entire truck, lost power, engine light flickered... I pulled over immediately, called the ford dealership, they did a check through on star (type system).said they saw nothing?!started back up, seemed to be fine once again.this has happened now multiple times.always when stepping on the gas for added power, same scenario.this is the eco boost engine.while i love the power, it has failed me 5 times to date.same problem as the pe 13-018 report.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The vehicle stalled without warning while driving 40 mph. The vehicle resumed normal function after restarting the engine. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure was unable to be determined; however, the dealer discovered that the coolant system was not separating the sludge causing the sludge to penetrate the engine and activating the vehicle limp mode. The contact stated that the vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that he would install an oil separation device to the vehicle independently. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 31,263.
Having issues with ford f-150 ecoboost engine losing power during acceleration, on our 2011 model. We have advised ford on this issue, since it's a safety concern, that can lead to a crash or even injury, however ford is not doing anything about it...please help us out !!! the safety of millions of people that has purchased this model truck is in your hands. It's very dangerous to drive the truck on the highway due to the sputtering, that causes you to stahl out... This is a serious issue... Me and my kids almost had an accident due to this factory defect. Please have this truck re-call, or investigate on this matter. Thank you.
My 2011 f150 is equipped with the ecoboost engine and has had problems since new.during long drives when it is wet out the truck loses power, stumbles and the check engine light comes on.on one occasion i was making a pass and the problem occurred, creating a very dangerous situation due to extreme loss of power.after a minute or so it seems to re-set but the check engine light stays on and fuel economy is poor.i have had my truck back to ford at least 4 times for this issue and every time i get a different story.i think this issue effects a lot more f150's than reported since the vehicle needs to be driven a long time in wet conditions and then the problem will occur under hard acceleration. Fords has told me many solutions to the problem from a bad coil, catalytic converter, intercooler, air cooler ect. Ect.i get a different story every time i take it back.my big problem is my truck now has 47000 miles on it and out of warranty.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while traveling various speeds, the vehicle suddenly lost acceleration power. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was determined that the inter cooler had failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 3,500.
The truck has developed a rough idle that causes the truck to feel as if it is missing. Along with the idle the fuel economy has dropped 4-5 mpg. I have had the truck in 3 times and 2 different dealers to try to resolve the issue. While in service diagnosics the techs where able to get the truck to misfire twice but they felt that it was not enoughto be signifcant. The first dealership suggested i trade the truck in on another because they did not have a fix. The second dealer stated that they contacted ford and was told that their is a known issue but ford does not have a fix for the issue and does not have a timeline for a adaquate fix. The issue has been apparent now for 6 months with no end in sight. I have been told that i will just have to deal with it.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph, the engine stalled. The check engine light illuminated when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the spark plugs failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred numerous times. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 49,502.
When accelerating my f150 cuts out and hesitates along with a rough idle. I have taken to local ford dealer and it shows to be a misfiring issue in 4 of 6 cylinders. Ford recommended replacing a couple of parts, but it did not fix the issue. The printout given to me said it may or may not fix the issue and was under further investigation with ford engineers. The truck has been maintained on time with scheduled oil changes, etc...the truck now has 75k miles and has an extended warranty up to 125k miles. Each time the truck has begun to misfire and stall out the engine light comes on and has heavy vibration until stopping and restarting the truck. The dealership replaced the spark plugs because they were all burned out which seemed to help, but continues to idle rough. It's just a matter of time before they burn out again. I spoke with someone from ford and they offered me no help other than to stay in touch with my dealership which who knows when ford will release a fix. I now pay for a truck that i bought an extended warranty for and does not run correctly. Everyone that rides with me has said, "man why does your truck idle like this?" my truck stickered for $41,460. This is unacceptable to have a nice looking truck that doesn't perform up to par.
My vehicle as been miss firing since it had 20,000 miles. I have been involved in almost 2 accidents because upon merging onto oncoming traffic my vehicle will misfire, slowdown and will not speed up fast enough to merge onto the highway safely. Because of this i have almost been hit twice by an 18 wheeler truck. I have taken the truck back to the dealership and they stated the miss firing due to air cooling system and it destroyed my catalytic converter. The dealership replaced my catalytic converter and installed some type of cooling shield, and now at 110,000 miles it's miss firing again and running sluggish. The cooling shield that was installed did not fix the problem at all. Not only is the on going miss firing life threatening but has destroyed my catalytic converters twice which is causing my emissions to emit harmful smog into the environment. Isn't their emission laws automakers must abide by? the miss firing is messing up my emission's which is harming the environment too.
When accelerating, especially going uphill, the engine makes a repetitive whooshing noise.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving 10 mph, the vehicle stalled as the check engine warning lamp illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 15,000 and the current mileage was 40,000.
Dozens of incidents of misfire and loss of power upon acceleration sometimes resulting in severe shaking and flashing of engine light.has nearly caused accident on 2 occasions where i was unable to maneuver through traffic.in shop 3 times, first 2 times technicians supposedly could not replicate problem (very easy to replicate if trying to do it).most recently advised that i might need a "tune-up" and oil change.2 different service centers refuse to acknowledge a known problem despite a flood of postings on internet forums describing the exact same issue.
While accelerating the truck hesitates, looses power and jerks violently, the check engine light flashes several times while passing a vehicle. When the truck jerks and looses power it feels like the engine is about to explode. Has almost caused several accidents because of the sudden lost of power. It appears to me that the truck is misfiring.
During acceleration to merge onto the highway, my f-150 lost power.the engine began to sputter, the check engine light illuminated, and the truck lost power.an 18-wheeler behind me had to slam on his brakes to avoid hitting my vehicle as i moved it to the shoulder of the road.i took the vehicle into the ford dealership and they performed tsb13-8-1.as of today (4/28/2014), the issue has not been resolved. I just took my truck back into the dealership to have another tsb performed.this time, i had to pay $100 because my powertrain warranty had expired. My main concern is that the tsb's that ford is issuing are inadequate. I have been told that the cause of power loss is moisture that builds up inside the intercooler.the last fix was to place a piece of plastic over the intercooler in an attempt to raise internal temperatures and prevent moisture from building up.it did not work...and my mpg went down by 1.8 (average) with the fix.my main concern is that ford will continue to release inadequate solutions to this problem, and once my esp has run out, i will be left with a truck that doesn't work and with no other choice but to pay for expenses 100% out of pocket. Hopefully something is done to prevent this from happening.i am not a very satisfied customer at this time.
At 50 mph while accelerating in traffic the engine shook and i lost power. This only happens with the ecoboost engine. Ford told the nhtsa this was corrected and the suit was ended. Ford will not install this repair in my truck.
During acceleration to pass another motorist, truck exhibited multiple misfires causing truck to lose power and trigger the sel light. After that, the truck would not accelerate and was actually losing speed on the freeway. My truck now coasting, i had to maneuver my vehicle through traffic going much faster than me, to the right shoulder where i had to eventually shut the engine off and start it back up again. Truck then idled very rough and i preceded to exit the freeway because i didn't want to be in that dangerous situation again.
Since new, this vehicle has had an issue with a loss of power when accelerating hard. The latest incident, this past october, occurred at approximately 80000 miles. Plugs were bad prematurely and found that it was caused by water build up in a cac for the turbo chargers and there was a tsb. I was passing a car and lost power almost creating an accident. This time, fortunately, a light stayed on so they could diagnose the issue.the dealer did an update per the tsb but ford refused to pay for the update due to the miles even though this issue has occurred numerous times before the warranty had expired. I am disappointed that the nhtsa did not make the recall mandatory in their previous investigation as i believe water being injected into an engine causing a power loss at a time power is called upon is dangerous.
There is a problem with the engine misfiring at moderate to hard acceleration.this really bothers me.as i have talked with ford mechanics i have been told that ford has no fix for this problem.from what i have read and studied, this is a problem with condensation in the intercooler making its way to he injectors.once you put your foot on the gas pedal to accelerate you experience a sometimes violent stutter and the vehicle not accelerating but instead sounding like it's going to explode.i have also heard this happens when its humid outside.regardless, one day i'm going to need to accelerate away or from something and the truck is going to fail, causing me to get hit or killed. I have found fixes to the problems including a full race intercooler, plugs and wires, however i don't think i should have to spend over $1000 for something ford released knowing it wasn't ready, or up to par.i've owned my vehicle for over a year now and its 0% better even using top octane fuel.please help...
After running a long highway run i was coming off an on ramp and step on the throttle to merge. The motor hesitated for few seconds before it kicked in. I was almost rear ended by the car behind me. The dealership tells me they are working on a fix. This needs to be fixed now before someone dies in an accident due to this issue.
I recently saw where the nhtsa was investigating performance issues (bogging down,hesitation) of fords ecoboost 3.5l v6.i have had this problem along with severe downshifting when decelerating causing skidding and loss of control in wet or icy conditions.i reported this problem to tony frederick vp ford customer service who sent a factory rep to look at this and other issues.was told vehicle was functioning normally.the hesitation when accelerating for me occurs regularly.i do not believe its isolated to wet or humid conditions.
While driving the transmission would down shift from 5th to 1st and the speedometer would stop working . After doing research i found ford issued the following recall safety recall 16s19 the intermittent output speed sensor (oss) failure may result in an unintended downshift into first gear. However after contacting ford they said my truck was not covered under that recall. I brought my truck to the dealership and they fix the exact problem that was on the recall.
While driving on hwy when acceleration the vehicle looses power and i had to pull over and shut off the engine and re-start it, almost causing an accident. Then when driving on normal road conditions and accelerate the vehicle to pass, and the same thing happens, the engine miss fires, looses power and the check engine light is on since the first time it happened. Took the truck to the ford dealer and they said it was "an ongoing problem with the ecoboost and the air charge cooler". They said the fix is to put a intercooler deflector (piece of plastic over the intercooler), change the spark plugsand do a vehicle software update witch is going to cost around $700 to fix. Outrageous cost for a tune up and a piece of plastic for something they know its a "ongoing problem" and don't want to have a recall. This is a safety issue, and they know about it but since the vehicle is out of warrantee i have to deal with it. Wonder how many others have this issue?! this is definitely the only and last ford i will buy. This does not guarantees that its going to stop it from happening again. With this amount of money i could buy an aftermarket intercooler, do a complete tune up and still have money left.
I was driving at highway speed, and accelerated rapidly to get out of the way of a merging car.the truck shook violently and lost power.i pulled to the side of the road and restarted the vehicle.there was no "check engine light" or any other indicator of a problem during the incident, or after restarting the truck.when i took it to the dealer, they indicated that they found nothing wrong with it.i have driven the truck since then wondering if it would happen again.now i see that others are experiencing the same issue.kistler ford in toledo, ohio will have a record of this service appointment on 10-21-11, as i have a copy of the service document stating the above.although i have no way to prove it, the truck has also seemed to have less power since this incident.
Sometimes when i try to pass the engine during full acceleration stumbles and looses acceleration. It does not happen all the time and does not give an error code in the computer. Very dangerous on two lane road passing.
While attempting to accelerate back to highway speeds after slowing down for a car leaving the highway, my truck lost power and started to shutter. The engine light was flashing andi was unable to maintain highway speeds. I exited the highway and after about 2-3 minutes i was able to accelerate normally.conditions were wet and the temperature was around 70f.
I was accelerating up around 45 mph and the vehicle just died to a rough idle. Car behind had to swerve to miss me. I was told this is a throttle control board and is a common problem in ford vehicles. Please tell ford to recall this problem or they will not recall this part until someone dies it looks like.
While driving my f150, v6 ecoboost engine, down the interstate, when i try to accelerate,the truck to pass vehicles and or move out of the way of on coming traffic, the engine gives me nothing and shutters, feels like it is missing.i originally started to feel this in 2013, took it to the dealership, cause i thought it could be a transmission issue, and the service rep only asked if a light came on and if none has come on, probably won't show anything.i am outside of my warranty now and the truck is shuttering very badly when i try to accelerate anywhere, besides my gas mileage has dropped significantly, which now can become a epa issue.i have read about a lot of issues concerning this year ford with same engine with no outcomes.i have been told, once again that if i don't have a check engine light, then it probably wont show a code.i don't know where else to turn but to at least have a complaint filed where there is an issue with the 2011 ford f150 v-6 ecoboost engine.
I have a ford 2011 fx4 ecoboost.whole truck started shuddering as i was getting onto the southwest freeway.check engine light was flashing and vehicle had loss of power.was able to coast and drive slow to the next exit where i pulled into a gas station and turned the engine off.i started the truck again and it seemed ok but the shuddering happened again on the way home and this time the check engine light stayed on.took it to the dealership where the code was pulled and they replaced the catalytic converter.same thing happened to me (shuddering and loss of power) again at 30k miles 3/4/2013 where this time they replaced a ignition coil and spark plug.and a third time at 34k miles 4/27/2013 and it is back in the shop today.when this happens it is very dangerous driving on the freeway when you cannot get the truck to drive without shuddering and jerking anytime you give it gas.something needs to be done before anyone gets hurt.the dealership so far has been fixing whatever the code states, however there is a underlying condition that is causing this to happen that needs to be addressed.
I was traveling in the righthand lane of the east bound side of i24 around manchester, tn. My speed was approximately 65-70 mph. I suddenly came up upon slower traffic in the same lane and signaled to pass the slower traffic. As i looked in my mirrors for traffic behind me i noticed another vehicle closing on me in a hurry. I depressed the accelerator to gain speed and make the pass. The vehicle lurched and the motor suddenly shut down and wouldn't accelerate in the middle of my pass. The vehicle behind me locked their brakes and managed to slow their vehicle down before possibly colliding with me. I let the slower traffic on the right pass and signaled to get back in the right hand lane.this has happened twice to me and i think there is a real possibility this could endanger lives and property if not corrected. My 2011 ford f-150 is equipped with the 3.5 liter ecoboost v6.
Eco boost engine.problem has occurred several times.problem has occurred when rapidly pulling away from a toll booth after several hour of continuous interstate driving in the rain (occurred 10/2013 and 10/2015).problem has occurred when trying to pass another vehicle on a 2 lane road under the same type of rainy conditions (occurred 10/2015).engine will shudder and go into limp mode. Truck was taken 2 years ago to the ford dealership for repair of this problem.two events occurred this past week under rainy conditions.truck is now out of warranty and still not fixed.
I have had the stall and/or shudder problem several times. By far the worst is the date and items listed in the incident information.while attempting to pass another vehicle on a two lane highway, after driving in a steady downpour for at least an hour, my ecoboost f150 fell flat on its face. No acceleration at all. It just stalled and the check engine light came on. I let off the accelerator and tried again with no reaction from the motor. I then feathered the throttle and was able to get around the other vehicle. The truck would run as long as i didn't try to accelerate quickly. Luckily there were no oncoming vehicles in the other lane. With dryer weather the problem disappeared. Since that time i have had it shudder a few times when trying to accelerate. Mostly in damp or humid conditions.
When accelerating onto the highway the power shut down and the engine shaked violently and the engine light came on.afterword i could not speed up pass 50mph.i pulled over let it rest for 30min and the engine light stayed on and i was not able to do any aggressive accelerations and could barely make it up hills.
While driving on i-20 from dallas to lubbock, i attempted to pass a vehicle in the on-coming lane. When i hit the gas pedal, the truck went into vigorous shaking, and the engine lost all power to accelerate. I was three hours into the trip, the truck had been cruise controlled for over 60 miles, and it had been raining the entire way. When the truck did this, a vehicle (in on-coming lane) appeared and i had to slam on the brakes to return behind the car i attempted to pass. The shaking of the truck made it difficult to control and i had to pull over in fear of my safety, and ultimately my life. Had i not acted when i did, i might have been seriously injured or killed. Dealerships are unable to replicate the problem because it has not been the same conditions as my experience. This problem needs to be fixed before someone gets killed.
An example of what happens is this:traveling along at 45mph, and pull out to overtake a slower vehicle, you accelerate aggressively. Upon doing this, the truck seems to stumble like it's hunting for the appropriate gear (@ about 45- 50mph).also, it feels like an engine mis-fire. It's a disconcerting feeling that the truck does not accelerate as it should when you need it the most.
On wide openthrottle engine misfires . Got it to set a code after another hard throttle.drove truck 1500 miles and got 21 mpg.after trip i took it to dealer codes po300 0304 0305 0306.had tsb for problem done last june. Still has same problem.dealer states may be plugs. Doesn"t seem possible getting 21 mpg with bad plugs. They want 260 dollars to check plugs on one bank. Ford needs to get this problem with wide open throttle miss fixed before someone gets hurt or killed.tsb did not fix the problem. The newer trucks have a different innercooler systemis the moisture causing bad spark plugs? what's going on here?
Accelerated to merge onto the highway.truck suddenly lost all acceleration and began to shake.engine light came on.deceleration was as sudden as if i had slammed on my brakes.coasted to the side of the highway and turned of the truck.after a few minutes of me shaking, i restarted the truck.engine light was still on, but truck drove normally as long as i "crept" up to speed.
Issue started again on 10 aug.2013.whenunder mild to heavy acceleration (such as merging onto interstates) the engine develops a significant miss and shudder.vehicle was repaired once on 20 mar. 2013 under tsb # 13-3-3. Weather does not appear to be a factor.the "miss" was so severe with a k&n air chargerhigh-flow intake kit installed that i had to reinstall the stock system.this was a none issue eventually because the ford dealership would not place the vehicle on diagnostics until i had reinstalled the stock kit.
While trying to merge onto the highway while under medium to heavy throttle my 2011 f-150 ecoboost lost all power while shuddering to the point it i had to abruptly get out of traffic and pull off the side of the road. As this was happening the check engine light started to flash and continued for a few minutes. After sitting for a few minutes the truck behaved almost normal as long as engine rpm was kept under 2500 above that it continued to miss and have a loss of power. By the time i got it home the cel was(is) on continuously. This all happened during rush hour on a very busy socal highway and could have been catastrophic.
2011 ford f150 lariat - when accelerating to pass, engine lights will flash and the truck will lose power. After several seconds of flashing, the engine light stays on and the truck decelerates. I shut the truck off and then re-started but the engine light stayed on. I was traveling on a highway and had to pull off to a city street. Very dangerous situation.
Upon downshift during acceleration, the truck shudders, misfires, backfires through exhaust system, and loses power while creating a violent shake in the drivetrain. This occurs in below 35 dry or wet weather. This issue destroyed my catalytic converters, as well as broke loose the baffles in factory mufflercausing over $2,000 in repairs for exhaust. I further replaced plugs, and plug boots. The vehicle continues to have this severe issue, and the only way to keep from further damaging the vehicle is to pull off the road, and idle as well as rev engine for several minutes. It is extremely unsafe, and nearly caused other vehicles to rear ended me on at least 5 occasions. All of which i had to jump onto shoulder of road or in median to keep from getting hit. My research shows that this is a common problem amongst owners of this vehicle. I currently owe $22,000 on this vehicle, and am quite frustrated with the lack of a recall from ford. Solutions of a walker cac are known; however, ford is not willing to even consider paying for this fix. Please help in the resolving of this issue?
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated while he attempted to merge into highway traffic at 65 mph the vehicle hesitated and failed to accelerate without warning. The contact was able to avoid two near crashes and drive safely onto the emergency lane. The loss of power failure was also previously experienced while driving 50 mph and the wrench light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.the vin was not available. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 20,000.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f150. The contact stated that while driving 65 mph, the vehicle stalled with the illumination of the check engine warning light. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis but they were unable to duplicate the problem. The vehicle was not repaired and the problem persisted. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000.
There are @ hoses that come out of the radiator and go into a hard plastic t-piece (part number dr3z-8566-a) and there are o-rings inside of it. Mine started leaking and i was informed that i had to replace the whole piece no big deal. Then the dealer ship went on to tell me that they have replaced 6 in the last 2 weeks of the same exact year and model. The dealer ship is in lima ohio.that being said if there are so many of these that are going bad and the vehicle only being 5 years old i feel like there is obviously a defect in the part/ design of it that causes it to fail.
Vehicle experienced hesitation when trying to accelerate.vehicle experiences jerkiness and at times complete power loss when trying to accelerate.vehicle lurches and hesitates when trying to maintain speed going up hills, or when trying to accelerate like when passing a car or on an interstate on ramp.issues have been reported to ford numerous times over past 2yrs, several various excuses provided and an occasional 'attempt' at fixing, with no remedy.most recent event (sep 2013) involved a near crash due to vehicle rapidly losing power in busy traffic.other incidents in the past have included stalling in the middle of an intersection when trying to accelerate from a full stop and nearly losing control when pulling a boat/trailer and the vehicle began to lurch/jerk when going up hills.
I was traveling 45 mph on dry roads/good visibility/good weather in 6th gear when without warning the transmission shifted from 6th gear and finally ended in 1st gear - during this time the engine rpms exceeded 6000 rpms - i immediately shifted into neutral in order to reduce the engine rpm. Needless to say controlling the vehicle when this occurred was a major safety concern.i then shifted from neutral to drive and all was well. Last sunday after church the transmission would at first not shift from 1st and then went to 5th gear and remained in 5th gear till i put the transmission in neutral and then back into drive. This event has occurred 4 times this far.always when the engine and transmission are cold!!!
I was merging on to the highway and the truck started violently jerking when i tried to accelerate.i had to pull over to the side of the road to prevent getting hit by faster cars.i let off of the accelerator and the truck regained composure after a minute or two.now i can't give the truck more than a 1/4 throttle or it will start jerking again.since that incident i have had ford replace the intercooler, install a shield put over the top half of the intercooler per tsb 13 -8 -1, re-flashed computer, replaced spark plugs, and replaced fuel filter.the problem still persist today.
While traveling at highway speed i wanted to accelerate and pass someone. I pulled into the left lane and pressed the gas. The engine shook the truck and it loss power. I had to move back into the lane.
Truck makes a loud rattling noise upon starting cold in the morning. Noise lasts for 3-5 seconds, than goes away. The electric vacuum pump was recalled and replaced roughly a year and a half ago. I took truck to ford dealership last fall (2017), and they stated it was the tension belt/pulley loosening. While doing some research online, seems like quite a few ford truck owners with that ecoboost engine are having same issue all across the country in all different climates. This seems like a safety issue to me, and was hoping ford would recall and take care of this. Truck seems to make this noise while stationary upon starting first thing in the morning. I contacted ford corporate, and they recommended filing a claim with you guys.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle shook violently. The contact heard an abnormal noise and experienced a complete loss of power. The vehicle was not operable. The check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the camshaft failed, there were multiple cylinder failures, low compression, and the engine was no longer salvageable. The technician diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. Prior to the failure, the driveshaft was replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 121,000.
3.5 eco boost bogged down when i was passing....on 1-2-20017..almost caused an accident..same symptoms as manny eco boost f150 ford....very dangerous !!!!
I was driving in highway traffic in the right hand lane at about 70-75 miles per hour.the weather was clear and the temperature was approximately 50 degrees. I encounter a slow moving vehicle and moved into the left hand lane and tried to promptly accelerate to pass a slower vehicle.when i attempted to accelerate the vehicle began to shake violently and go into a very rapid deceleration.the violent vibration of the entire vehicle and rapid deceleration made control a challenge. I moved to the right hand lane reduced speed to 50 mph and continued on to a ford dealership to have the vehicle evaluated.the dealership found that 3 coils failed which caused the vehicle to vibrate and decelerate rapidly.i had the vehicle repaired.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle lost power. In addition, the check engine warning light illuminated. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 86,000.
Vehicle loses power and misses at around 1500-2200 rpm's.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, the engine lost power for a few seconds and then resumed normally. The failure occurred whenever passing another vehicle at speeds of 55 mph or higher. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer numerous times and they were unable to remedy the defect. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 5,000.updated 07/2/13*lj
While accelerating onto the highway truck began shaking violently and lost power. I was towing a trailer at the time and was nearly struck by a large truck because i couldn't get up to speed or off the highway because of loss of power. This is a known problem with 3.5 liter ecoboost engines and it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured or killed because this issue has not been successfully addressed by ford.
This truck has the 3.5 liter v6 ecoboost engine.the truck is company owned by wl hall co.i was accelerating while attempting to pass another vehicle.the vehicle lost power then started to shake, shudder and jerk.the check engine light came on and the vehicle's engine started to run very roughly.this happened again at approximately 9,700 miles, 28,000 miles and 60,000 miles.ford has attempted to fix the issue three times.the truck will be going in for service for this issue a fourth time.due to improper performance, this issue almost caused an accident this last time.there have also been numerous incidents over the life of the vehicle where it did not shift properly and dropped power, but then the vehicle corrected itself.
Traveling at speeds above 50 when hard acceleration vehicle goes into limp mode becomes very dangerous have almost caused major pile up due to loss of power and total loss of vehicle control this vehicle and others like it are going to start killing people. All over the internet people are complaining about same problem and so far ford has not recalled these vehicles and that is very concerning. Please help before many people are killed.
2011 ford f 150 with eco boost.when i accelerate the vehicle stalls out, bogs down, looses power and shutters.i have taken in the shop several times and they could not fix it.i recently took it back in and hey changed the spark plugs which helped a little however still really rough.i am thinking of filing. Lawsuit against ford.i have tied to trade out of the vehicle and i'm upside down because of bad publicity i'm being told.i thought i had. Lemon but i guess it's all the engines.
In 2016 i went to get recall repaired from franklin tn dealership i purchased the truck from, they refused, in 2019, they claim that the software was not available from ford, online in emails to another dealer, i have not been told when to bring truck in to get all recalls repaired. Both dealerships are in tn. When in first gear, the truck will jerk back down and won't allow me to go to 2nd gear without pressing hard on gas, loud fan noise from the hood, breaks go to the floor and i have to pump to feel truck slowing down, air and heat continue to not work, air won't get cool and heat won't get hot, both dealerships have refused to repair or blamed ford for not giving them what they needed to fix the recalls. I am documenting so my family will be able to give this to attorney. The down shift happens when the truck is in drive moving on any and every street, parking lot, stop light/sign. The loud fan noise from the engine only happens when the truck is started, the brakes have been going to the floor for 8 years at different times of the day/night when driving.
The vehicle experienced a rough idle then upon acceleration, severe shuddering and lack of power.check engine light turned on and began flashing.vehicle is equipped with a 3.5l gtdi engine.vehicle then continued to experience complete lack of power and shudder while being driven to the dealership.
I was driving to work this very humid morning merging onto the interstate in my 2011 ecoboost f-150. As i accelerated to merge, my rpm's went up but my speed actually dropped just as vehicles were coming in at a high rate of speed behind me. I let off on the throttle and again pressed down on the accelerator with the same result. I was trapped between cars and caused one car to swerve dangerously on the highway. Thankfully there was not an accident, but certainly got my fill of middle fingers from upset motorists and lucked out not being the victim of road rage my truck caused. A minute or so later the vehicle began to operate as normal. After researching online this morning i realized this is extremely common with this engine. I contacted both my local dealer and ford corporate only to be told there is no recall and if i "want someone to look at it" i would have to bring my vehicle in and pay for service since i am out of warranty.
When entering interstate in rain engine misfired truck slowed. Ford engineers modified boost intake charged me $274.80 to correct design flaw.
When attempting to pass a slower moving vehicle, i moved into the left pass lane and pushed on the gas, the truck began to shudder violently, lose power, and the check engine light came on. I took it to the dealership where i bought it and they did the intercooler fix. After that the problem continued. Check engine light came on, took back to dealership, they told me it was a spark plug, replaced it, on the drive home same problem, engine shudders violently, loses power, goes into limp mode, and check engine light either flashes or goes solid. I have had this problem since the day i purchased the truck new from the dealer.
The vehicle just doesn't accelerate without hesitating.
I accelerated from a stop and the engine lost power and went to idle.the check engine light came on steady and the engine would not accelerate from idle.i turned off the engine and restarted and was able to accelerate past idle.after traveling about 1/2 mile the engine again lost power. I again restarted the vehicle and was able to travel home (approximately 15 miles).all the while the check engine light stayed on steady.a similar event occurred while towing a 30 foot travel trailer while on the i-80 freeway near rawlings wyo.in june, 2014, although that time the engine shuddered violently and the check engine light flashed on and off.after pulling to the side of the freeway the light stopped flashing and i was able to accelerate normally without having to restart the engine.the engine shudder has occurred several times since and has been reported to my ford dealer (mission valley ford truck in san jose, ca).the dealer was not able to duplicate or capture any computer defect codes after doing a computer scan.
While entering a highway via an on-ramp doing about approximately 45 miles per hour i attempted hard acceleration to pick up speed and merge in to traffic that was doing approximately 65-70 miles per hour. When i depressed the throttle the vehicle did not accelerate, but it started to hesitate and shake. The check engine light came on and the vehicle would not go over 40 miles per hour. This almost caused an accident situation as i expected the vehicle to accelerate when it did not. I was then forced to pull over to the shoulder and shut the vehicle off. After restarting the vehicle the cel had cleared and the vehicle was operating normally. No code was stored in the pcm to indicate what the issue was. This happened several more times since the first incident. Once while towing a 4000lb boat/trailer which also almost caused a severe accident. Ford has found nothing wrong with the vehicle and concludes there is nothing they can do since no codes were stored. I will note that after receiving tsb 12-2-10 the vehicle will still exhibit the same symptoms described above, but now the check engine light does not come on. Vehicle will stall, go in to "limp mode" with no indication that anything is wrong. Only resolution is to turn the vehicle off and back on to clear the status. This creates dangerous situations when on a highway. Completely unacceptable.
The engine will start to miss badly and than go dead when passing this is dangerous.. There was an investigation by you in may 2013 but you stopped it in 14 because ford said they had a fix for the problem.. The problem is not fixed and this is dangerous. My truck has been to ford 4 times now and they keep changing a coil or spark plug they say.the first time they put some kind of deflector on the charge air cooler. My truck will be out of warranty in 1200 miles and i don't want to get a problem.i joined a class action lawsuit with grant &eisenhoff.i understand that there are 500,000 ford truck f150 v6 eco boost from 2011,12 and 13 engines affected. Why would you drop an investigation just because ford said they have the problem fixed.. This problem is or may already have caused fatal accidents.. I am forwarding this letter to ford and the attorneys, thank you . Any information and help will be appreciated.
Recognized pattern failure.excessive timing chain stretch on 2011 ford f-150 xlt with 3.5l ecoboost motor.tapping and rattling noise from the top front of the engine when first started, lasting for approximately 3 seconds.vehicle well maintained and driven in normal fashion on paved highways.odomoter ~86k miles.the owner contends timing chains in properly-maintained and normally-driven vehicles should typically last the lifetime of the vehicle (or thereabouts) unless a defect exists.the customer has discovered (unverified) that ford motor company has revised the specifications for the timing chain mechanism on this motor in more recent model years, with redesigned chain and guides and updated part numbers.there is a risk of catastrophic engine failure at highway speeds leading to a substantial safety hazard with the vehicle no longer drivable.ford has acknowledged the problem three times with tsb 14-0194, tsb 15-0131, and tsb 16-0027, but has failed to initiate a voluntary remedy outside of warranty coverage.premature timing chain wear appears to be an increasing and ongoing problem on later model gasoline turbocharged direct injection (gtdi) engines.the customer raised the issue with both a local ford dealership and with ford motor company headquarters to no avail.repair cost $2634.44 at ford dealership.this apparent defect yields continuing and substantial profits for the manufacturer.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving at unknown speeds, the vehicle downshifted to first gear and the rear wheels seized. In addition, the check engine indicator illuminated. The contact called the local dealer (al bilton ford, 7621 old state road, holly hill, sc 29059, 877-722-7214) and was informed that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v248000 (power train). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 15747379. The failure mileage was 130,000. The vin was not available.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. When the accelerator pedal was depressed, there was a sudden loss of engine power and the vehicle hesitated to the point that it could stall without warning. Capital ford (3660 s carson st, carson city, nv 89701, (775) 882-5353) was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to schedule a diagnostic appointment. The vehicle hesitated while at a stop, during acceleration, and while making a turn, which caused the contact to have to downshift. Customer service campaign program number: 15n05 (electric vacuum pump recall) was referenced as a possible cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle shifted into first gear on its own. The contact coasted the vehicle over to the side of the road and powered off the engine. The vehicle was restarted and was able to drive normally. The vehicle was taken to bill marsh ford (located at 408 w mile rd, kalkaska, mi 49646, (231) 258-9192) where the transmission was upgraded. The vehicle was repaired. On another occasion, the engine performed as if it were misfiring. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the engine and timing chain needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. After leaving the independent mechanic and while at a stop sign, the vehicle stalled and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle failed to start and was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was later taken to another independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that he replaced the timing chain on his own, but not the engine. The vehicle was later taken to bill marsh ford gaylord (located at 1928 otsego ave, gaylord, mi 49735, (989) 732-6737) where it was diagnosed that the engine valve on the left bank failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the repair fees and still remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The contact was referred to nhtsa. The approximate failure mileage was 96,000.
Ford ecoboost.vehicle has few issues.first there is unexpected hesitation when pulling out in traffic.you are without power and subject to being run over.there are times when at highway speeds the engine goes limp when accelerating leaving you in traffic subject to being run over. Ford has replaced the cac and this has not happened since.when at speed and you accelerate a small amount, the engine will misfire and run rough. The lack of throttle response leaves you vulnerable when passing.been at the dealer 5 times for these problems.
5.0 engine started knocking at 130k miles. Timing chains are also stretched causing another ticking sound.
Since i've owned this vehicle new, i've had a number of problems related to acceleration. Vehicle would almost stall on hard acceleration when getting on the freeway. Dealer replaced spark plugs & boots, but condition was not completely resolved. Vehicle would still on occasion repeat the same problem. More recently when driving yesterday, the engine light started blinking, then became steady. Of greater concerned i got an engine light & poor acceleration. Took the vehicle to the dealer & dealer is telling me that the timing belt needs to be replaced at a cost of $2000+. Vehicle had just turned 61000 miles. Dealer service agent tells me its not uncommon and could be caused by not getting the oil changed at recommended intervals. Vehicle has had regular oil changes at the dealer & other service facilities. Never heard of this & i think it's premature for a vehicle with 61000 miles to need the timing belt replaced. Never had this happen in 45+ years of driving.
I had been driving in the rain for approximately 3 hours. Exited off the interstate and attempted to accelerate and the truck bogged down, misfiring and almost cutting off. This is a known problem by ford and they have issued a technical service bulletin. I understand that there is an on-going investigation to determine if this is going to be a recall. This happened previously when i was attempting to pass someone and it almost caused an accident. I took it into the ford dealer where i bought the vehicle last year and they applied the fix in accordance to the tech bulletin but obviously that has not corrected the issue.
The truck lost all power when acceleration was required. Gas to floor and it fell to idle while passing.lost all power again during a merge to freeway, drop to idle and rough running.lost all power while trying to stay ahead of on coming traffic.3 times in 60000 km. No warningdrive line shudders when subjected to light load slight grade highway speeds. Feels like engine miss.dozens of trips to dealers 5 tsbs and many documented letters to ford.ready to give up.
While driving on hwy at 55mphthe transmissionshifted from 6th to 3rdgear causing the truck to rapidly slow down mid trafficwas able to pull over to the shoulder and stop this is the second time took it to the dealer they did somethingworked for a littlebut did not fix problem.
Water pump failed
Had complete brake failure.was able to get the truck stopped.saw it was 2 pints low on fluid.added fluid, drove towards my auto shop, had to stop to fill the brake fluid again (the light went on this time).did this a few times. Just before i got to the stop, the truck blew out some smoke, chugged, and the motor seized up.towed the truck to the shop, they found out the master cylinder leaked and the vacuum lines sucked the brake fluid out of the master cylinder and dumped it into the cylinders in the motor and this blew my motor.i hear there is a recall for this on 2014 f-150s but not on the 2011.terrible design.a brake problem should not blow up my motor.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated the vehicle loss power when accelerating. The contact stated there was a long hesitation prior to the vehicle accelerating. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the turbo intercooler was replaced. The computer was also reprogrammed but failed to correct the failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 2,000 and the current mileage was 6,000.
Driving 70 mph when 2011 ford f-150 while driving in cruise control with a/c on lost all power..........and a tool displayed on dash.i was able to pull over on-side of interstate luckily.......turned off vehicle waited a few minutes and re-started with no further issues.i'm concerned this is similar to other issues ford products have been having.need answers before your vehicle hurts my family!!!
The vehicle lost power after accelerating to higher speed when entering the highway. This has happened multiple times when passing or entering highway at higher speeds.
Truck had had a recall on the issues that we are having. Now we have been told that recall no long exist and that it was taken off of recall.we are having trouble with the transmission range senor circuit. Code p705 and it's hoing to cost almost 600.00 to fix.is there still at recall on this?
The engine (3.5l ecoboost) has a rattle in the front region when started and at lower rpm's which was followed by the check engine indicator (timing chain issue). When driving in the city the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light and started to shake violently. The shaking ceased upon accelerating. The vehicle was immediately driven to a mechanic where we learned that the vct unit (exhaust side) had separated and a piece of the internal component flew outward boring a hole through the valve cover. We do not know where the projectile ended (hopefully not into another vehicle or pedestrian). It was also found that the oil was so low (from the hole in the valve cover) that it did not register on the dip stick nor did the indication alert notify the driver in the instrument panel. We brought the vehicle to a local kendall ford dealership for the rattle/misfire issue before the vct ruptured and they gave the truck a clean bill of health after the replacement of a spark plug on cylinder #2. The misfire occurred when we were driving on a long highway 60mph and started to shutter and shake which almost caused us to crash (it already has the cac tsb fix installed). Nhtsa should re-open the investigation on that because the fix did not work. It may have improved it, but didn't fix the problem. We have contacted ford on may 4th about this issue and the representative said there is no recalls or alerts concerning our vehicle and we would have to fix it out of pocket. We are currently trying to work something out with the dealer. However, this issue when searched appears to be a very common one and due to faulty parts, ford should in good faith offer a recall because for this fix, like ours, is about $2000.00 conservatively. Our vehicle has about 121,000 miles on it.
The timing chain belt was skipping, it would cause the engine light to come on while driving but then the engine light would go off the next time i'd stay it. This did this for as long as i had it. I mentioned the issue tho the dealer but when in the garage the engine light was no longer on and they would tell me nothing was wrong and no error codes were coming up. I've had this truck only 1 year 7 months and it started stalling out. I brought it to the garage and it was the timing chain.
I was attempting to accelerate hard to merge into traffic onto interstate highway.when i pushed pedal to floor, the vehicle immediately slowed as if a governor had kicked in.fortunately, i had room on shoulder to not get hit, but had to wait and pump pedal twice before it began to accelerate again.i have not tried to replicate the problem. I had an identical problem 3 years ago in another ecoboost ford f150 that nearly killed me.i attempted to pass another vehicle and realized that i needed hard acceleration and the vehicle immediately slowed.there was no where to go, but fortunately my fellow motorists realized i had a problem and let me back into my lane without a multi-vehicle crash.i asked my dealer about that then, and was told that never had been reported.i immediately traded that truck for the one i have now that day.
Going up hill, stepped on gas, transmission shifted down one gear, let off gas and engine died. It showed low oil pressure on dash. Steering was hard (had to pull to side of road). Vehicle was then towed.oil dip stick was pulled out and will not go back in. Latter discovered engine is seized up for no know reason.
The engine lost power, the airconditioning shut off.when trying to accelerate, the truck shuddered hard.when the truck was brought to a stop, it was like everything reset.the engine would accelerate correctly, the air conditioning came back on, and there was no shudder..the ford house saidthere were no codes stored to identify the problem.they recommended a $1100.00 tuneup.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated as the steering wheel shook violently. The vehicle also lost power and decelerated independently. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and as it proceeded to perform without further incident. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis but they were unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 41,000....updated 07-15-13the consumer stated the manufacturer advised to continue to drive the vehicle until the failure recurs then, immediately take the vehicle to the dealer in order to record any codes that maybe stored.

I had just turned onto the on ramp of the turnpike. There was heavy traffic and i needed to accelerate quickly to avoid a semi truck traveling in the right lane. As i pushed the pedal down the truck began to shake violently and lost power. The check engine light came on and i had to swerve to the emergency lane to avoid a collision. Thisloss of power has happened multiple times since then. At first on hard acceleration and then it became common at any level of acceleration. As of this writing the dealer has done his best to fix the problem but there seems to be a shortage of parts from the manufacturer. Ford needs to step up to the plate and either buy these vehicles back or find a reliable fix. If it is water entering the engine as their initial investigation says, are they going to cover that damage if any?
Went to pass a car,lost power, had to drop back.
Had a car pull into my lane, tried to accelerate to move over with out causing a dangerousness situation of a car coming up in the lane i needed to be in to avoid the idiot moving into my lane but car lost power. Thankfully the car in the next lane over saw the issues with the car moving over into me and gave me room, i'm sure they didn't expect my car to slowdown due to the loss of power.this car has the ecoboost engine 3.7 liter
I was driving to florida in my 2011 f150 ecoboost and on the highway at about 65 mph my truck started stalling and lost power miss firing and would not go over 10 mph causing me to pull over on the shoulder . I then turned the truck off and back on 10 mins later and it began to run fine agian. I took it to ford and they say no engine codes went off so they did not know why it would do that.
2011 ford f150 fx4 eco boostroad conditions - dry. External temperature - approximately 35f.highway on ramp accelerating to merge. The motor hesitated for a few seconds before kicking in, the front end felt like it was slipping while trying to accelerate as well. As the truck passed approximately 65 mph the engine lost power and began to shake violently, the check engine light came on as well. I had to keep the truck around 45 mph to avoid the shaking for about 5 minutes before it stopped and the engine light turned off. I noticed a slight burning smell and the engine didn't sound like it did prior to the incident. If someone had been behind me on the ramp, or i was passing a vehicle in poor road conditions or in busy traffic there is a strong possibility i would have been in an accident of some sort, most likely a rear end collision.
Went on a 350 mile trip, i was at a stop light and when i went to accelerate the truck lost all power. I have one of the ecoboost engines. The engine did fix itself and i continued with no other problem, this is the first time i experienced this problem.2011 ford f150 king ranch.
During the process of draining engine oil, was removing the oil filter and oil started to pour out under the truck.there is an oil filter drain catch basin that is installed to make all the oil being spilled come out where it can be captured.the catch basin is not installed in a manner that allows the oil to drain properly, instead, the back end is lower than the drain portion.blogs seem to confirm this is a problem with many of these trucks.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While operating the vehicle, the transmission downshifted hard and the vehicle jerked without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician made adjustments to the transmission sensor, but the failure recurred. In addition, while driving various speeds, the vehicle shook and vibrated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine cylinder coil failed and the cylinder battery pack needed to be replaced. Eventually five of the six cylinder battery packs failed and were replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 20,000. Updated 08/04/16*lj
Follow up to complaint listed below (beginning with summary):it should be noted that this incident did not occur in humid or rainy conditions.this incident did not occur while traveling at highway speed or wide open throttle.this incident occurred while starting from a complete stop under light acceleration turning left across traffic.vehicle lost all power and would not move.pushing the gas pedal did increase engine rpm but vehicle would not move.the behavior exhibited by the vehicle sounds very similar to the condensation problem i have been made aware of with the 3.5 v6 ecoboost.however none of the circumstances ford claims causes the issue existed.this is an extremely dangerous condition.weather was approximately 15 degrees and sunny.i have experienced the problem when the vehicle has been cold and after it has been running for a while.summary:while attempting to cross oncoming traffic lanes to access interstate vehicle began to move then suddenly lost all power. Rpm's went up to 4000 rpm but vehicle would not move. Vehicles were approaching in excess of 50mph. I managed to barely avoid being struck by oncoming traffic and pulled to side of ramp. Vehicle then began to move again. Took vehicle in for service. Dealership performed two fixes involving some form of air dam. On 02/24 vehicle did the same thing luckily in a parking lot this time. This is an extremely dangerous condition which leaves no error codes so far. I am seeing many similar complain ts online. Taking vehicle in for service again on 3/3/15 as the issue occurred again today 3/2/15.

I was traveling on the interstate where i live and was trying to get up to speed to merge with traffic and when i accelerated my truck lost power and began to sputter and shake, and would not get up to speed, and the check engine light came on, when i took to the local dealer where i purchased it i was told number 2cylinder and number 4 cylinder was mis firing, that i needed new coil packs so i had them replaced and i am still having the same problem.
While trying to speed up the engine lags out causing the vehicle to misfire making it impossible to accelerate and causes the vehicle to shake. My ecoboost only experiences this issue at high speeds which is an incovience on the highway .

Second occurrence of the engine losing power while towing a camper over 100+ miles at highway speeds then adding power to climb a hill. Driving 65 mph on the highway, over a 1.5-2 hrs drive, approaching a hill while towing a camper, accelerated to climb the hill and the vehicle again, dropped from 65 to 40 mph in about 30 seconds.engine stuttered and would not respond to throttle control to gain speed to climb the hill.took vehicle into dealership no problem found, about a week later, there was an inefficient catalytic requiring the replacement of the left catalytic converter. This occurred post having the ecoboost fix that ford motor company stated would resolve the problem and it is still occurring. Odbc 2 data logger captured the incident recording engine speed, engine rpm, and engine load (%).
I was accelerating to freeway speed when my truck began to shake and my engine was not allowing me to speed up.it felt like driving over a washboard.the engine light began to flash and continued to do so until i pulled over and stopped the vehicle.the engine light stopped and i was able to continue on home.i took it to the dealer the following morning and they replaced the faulty spark plugs.this same issue has now occurred 3 times in less than 3 months.the dealer has now replaced these spark plugs 3 times, twice of which the entire set of spark plugs were replaced.i am concerned over this safety issue since it always occurs as i am driving and speeding up to get on the freeway.
Truck frequently goes into limp mode/stalls.this has happened at various speeds, times, terrain, etc all over the country both with and without our camper attached and both with and without tow-haul engaged.i've taken it to the dealer numerous times and each time they've updated the software according to some tsb that's been released.i've had the deflector put on, cam changed, and now they're replacing the throttle body.
I own a 2011 f150 4x4 supercrew ecoboost,this is the second time i've had this problem.i was pulling a trailer weight approx 2500lbs on the highway going up hill for an extended period of time.my truck loss all power and i barley made it to the top of the hill.i pulled over checked out the truck and the problem disappeared.the 1st time this happened i took it to the dealer and they did the tsb, replaced all spark plugs and replace one ignition coil.cost around $800 but the problem still happens,i'm afraid to put any load on the engine.this is a problem with condensation in the inter cooler that causes a miss fire but ford will not address the problem.i'm hoping for a recall soon before someone is seriously hurt or killed by this malfunction.
My check engine light came on, code scanned was p0016. The code scanner states it's an issue with the timing chain loosening over time. The truck has a very prominent rattle sound for about 2-3 seconds upon an initial start up in the cold weather. The other day i went to pass someone, and lost power in the engine and my truck would not accelerate past the car. Ford is aware of the issue, as people all over the country and canada are having the same issue with 2011-2012 ford f150 with the ecoboost engine. To me this seems like an obvious safety issue that ford should take care of. Seems like an engineering flaw to me. The timing chain coming loose, and engine rattling like it's coming apart has to be causing damage as time goes on. The problem i had while trying to pass the car was on a lane 55mph road.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150.the contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, there was a loss of power in the engine during acceleration. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the inner cooler needed a protective shield to reduce the inner flow.the manufacturer was notified of the failure.the approximate failure mileage was 42,000.
I should note that my truck has the 3.5l ecoboost engine.this occurred on a very cold morning (-15f) while attempting to pass a truck on a 2 lane highway, going up hill. I had been driving approximately 1 hour when this happened. As i pulled into the left lane and accelerated hard, the truck began to shutter and misfire, losing almost all power.the check engine light flashed 3 or 4 times then came on solid.i was able to drop back into the right lane behind the truck and avoid an oncoming vehicle.i limped the truck to an area where i could get off the road.after turning the truck off and restarting the engine, it ran better but not at what would be considered full power.i got to my destination about 20 minutes later, left the truck sit for about 2 hours and headed back towards home.the engine seemed to run normally at cruising speed.since that occurance, i have noticed a drop in gas mileage and intermittent misfires or shuttering of the engine when accelerating hard.i believe this has the potential to create a significant safety hazard upon acceleration to pass or to merge into traffic.this truck basically died and lost all power.this is clearly not an isolated issue, as i have read numerous complaints on various ford truck forum websites.
Engine miss fire.the engine when trying to pass miss fires and actually slows down.when i took the vehicle to a ford dealer they told me there was nothing wrong and it was not miss firing.it continued to do this and i repeatedly took it back for service with the same result.after doing some research there were many esb's on this subject with the turbo cooling system returning water back to the firing chambers burning out the spark plugs, coil packs, and sending raw fuel to the catalytic converter burning it out.i was never notified of these issues even though the esb's were available to the ford dealer of the issues now that the warranty is over i am expected to repair these issues.this is fraud!!!
On hard acceleration like when entering a highway or trying to pass another car it will miss fire continuously thru the acceleration.on several ocasions it down shifts and then the engine loses power.this has happined meany times in the last 2 to 3 years.
At roughly 800 miles i attempted to pass on a rainy afternoon and while applying enough load to pass the truck started to surge/misfire severely and the check engine light started to flash. Drove the truck about 2 miles in this derated condition until i reached my destination. Turned the ignition to off and then cycled the ignition back on and the check engine light went out and the unit ran correctly again. Took unit to the dealer and the diagnostic tool once plugged into the data port did not reveal any fault codes and no codes were stored. The dealer could not duplicate the issue and nothing was done to resolve the issue. This has happened very intermittently about 7 times total now always when trying to apply throttle in either humid or rainy weather conditions. Several software updates have been performed to the truck for some issue with the trans, but this intermittent misfire under light load still occurs. This happened most recently at roughly 23100 miles on the odometer while driving up an incline at roughly 65 mph and applying light load to try and climb the hill. Had to let off the throttle and try to apply the throttle again to accelerate. This continued for about 3 throttle application attempts than finally smoothed out without illuminating the cel this time. Im sure the issue will continue until ford comes out with a real resolve and not band aid repairs.
Yesterday i went to pass a truck that made an illegal turn, and had to hit the gas hard to get out of the way, only did it for about 2 seconds, than when i let off the gas, the engine kept running at high speed for about another 3 seconds? and my foot was not on the pedal at that time.
Truck has a timing chain rattle and has had the same rattle for 28,000 miles, since i've owned the truck. It only happens when the truck has been sitting for an extended period. The rattle lasts from 2-10 seconds. I have videos of it happening in my driveway, after a cold start. Dealer refuses to fix it because it doesn't happen after i drive it to them and they start it. Tsb-14-0194, tsb 16-0027, tsb- 15-0131. All 3 tsbs have the same results. I have shown the dealer my videos nd the service advisor told me "no problem we can get it fixed", only to find out he dealer refuses to fix it until they can get the truck to do it for them, under their care. The tsb states that if the owner hears the rattle the dealer is to fix it.
The vehicle lost acceleration in a major highway and started to smoke. My wife and i were almost killed when we tried to move off the road by a tractor trailer. There was no way of controlling the vehicle with no acceleration and major vibration of the truck. I notice that many others are having problems with the ecoboost f150 engines as well.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to crank and start intermittently. On several occasions, the contact had to wait a brief moment before the vehicle would restart after several attempts. In addition, when the gear was changed, the gear indicator would not display on the instrument panel. Also, the "prndl" illumination failed to illuminate. Long mcarthur ford (3450 s 9th st, salina, ks 67401, (785) 823-2237) and the manufacturer indicated that the vehicle was excluded from manufacturer campaign number: 12c123 and nhtsa campaign number: 12v190000 (power train, exterior lighting) due to the mileage. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer provided no assistance. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 145,000.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 45 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated. In addition, when the vehicle was started, there was an abnormal noise under the hood of the vehicle intermittently.

While attempting to accelerate and pass slower traffic on the highway, my 2011 f150 (4x4, ecoboost) truck lost almost all engine power, the check engine light started to blink, and the entire truck shook violently. Due to the truck's sudden deceleration without brake lights signaling it, oncoming traffic (including a large tractor/trailer) approached from behind rapidly and everyone had to brake abruptly to avoid a collision. I turned on my hazard lights, pulled the truck to the right shoulder and sat there for a few minutes while i called work to inform them that i would likely have to wait for a tow truck and be delayed. During that call, the engine light stopped blinking and the truck began running normally again. I reentered the highway when traffic was clear and the truck proceeded to run normally until i reached my workplace (roughly 2-3 more miles on the highway and about 5 miles through the city). A less severe instance of this occurred months before. In that case, there was a short power lag upon attempted acceleration, the check engine light blinked 2-3 times and then stopped blinking and the truck did not shake at all. The whole episode disappeared as quickly as it appeared after letting off the accelerator for a second or two. I believed it was a one-off thing. After today's much more severe episode, it is clearly not a one-off and obviously has the potential to cause an unsafe situation.conditions (in central pa) at the time of today's occurrence (7:45am): temp: 69f, humidity: 96%, overcast (not raining), wind: 0mph, truck speed: about 65mph, a/c: on auto set to 72f, load: driver w/ personal belongings (no extra load).
While in wet conditions truck will stall, loose power, and shutter. While driving up a hill on busy interstate the truck stalled. Had to take foot off accelerator to get the truck to go. We were almost rear ended because of this. This has happened many times!
The truck on its own downshifted to 1st gear while driving on the freeway at 65-70mph. The check engine light came on.this happened 3 times.the obd error code p0720.the dealer could not find anything wrong with it and returned it without any updates to the software or replacing the speed sensor.
While traveling a long duration at a consistent mph, low rpm, and low turbo boost pressure i began to climb a hill where more acceleration was needed to maintain mph. At time the vehicle rapidly slowed, engine light cam on, tried to add throttle to stay out of the way of approaching traffic but just continued to slow. This happened while traveling from las vegas nevada to reno nevada. I replaced the ignition coils and that solved the problem only to have it happen again in less than 5k miles in the same driving conditions
The first problem was while driving on the interstate at around 70mph it felt like i was rear ended and pretty hard. I looked around and there were no cars nearby. In about 2 minutes it did it again and again the started to be intermittent. I took it to the shop the replaced coil pack and plugs and sent me on my way. I did not make it 2 miles down the road when the engine started to shudder. Took truck back they kept it for weeks then said it was fixed. They had installed the shield per the tsb and again sent me on my way. Within 1 mile it did it again and i waited to take it back as i needed my truck for work and they were giving me tiny suv loaner cars. This time they replaced intercooler after weeks and weeks of it sitting there. This happened approx. 12 times. During this time i sent letters about my concerns to every person on the board of directors at ford with no response. The customer service manager for ford not only avoided my calls and would not reply to me then i tried to escalate above her and reached a very arrogant jerk that blew me off. Once finally getting a reply from [xxx] i got the reply i have expected. The corporate blow off! ford does not let you get past csm. This has been going on for over 7 months. I had enough so decided to try to sell this death trap and dealerships were low balling me do to the known issues. When leaving a dealership and trying to cross a rural hwy the truck lost power and i was nervously slamming the gas pedal to the floor and nothing happened. I had a dump truck coming at me blowing its air horns. The truck started to go but barely limping. This has now happened 3 more times and ford denied this has happened to other trucks and that they knew of the problem. They now will not even work on the problem period i was told they are not allowed to try to repair these trucks at all. I have a very dangerous truck.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 80 mph, the vehicle became hesitant upon acceleration. The vehicle also surged and lunged without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis where the technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 32,000.
Since owning a new 2001 ford f-150 ecoboost, i have noticed several issues with the engine. Loss of power when accelerating, shuttering when braking and poor fuel economy. I have taken the vehicle in for service and they have applied technical service bullitins, but the issue returns. The latest problem was a failed coil pack causing my vehicle to almost stall on the highway. Ford didn't cover the part under their powertrain warranty.
On several occasions and more frequently as of lately, i am losing acceleration capability when i am trying to accelerate at any speed. When i try to accelerate from a stop or uphill, i feel like the engine won't go or is bogging down. To try and compensate, i try to accelerate more which only seems to make the problem worse. I have already taken it to the ford dealer and they replaced a part on the transmission, but the problem still persists and is only get more frequent.
The engine misfires and changes to "limp mode" after the engine shudders, shakes and looses power.this has happened twice in the life of this vehicle.also the steering sticks when turning left.
While attempting to pass a slower vehicle on a two lane road, my truck lost all power and the check engine light began blinking.i was in the on-coming travel lane adjacent to the vehicle i was passing when the incident occurred.the incident nearly caused an accident as the vehicle i was passing slowed down when i lost power an i was unable to immediately get over.i coasted with a rough running engine to the shoulder and shut off the engine.when i restarted it a few minutes later it ran a little rough and the check engine light remained on.research shows that this is a know issue for this make model with the ecoboost engine.the ford dealership, while having a tsb in place for the issue, did not notify me of the issue and will not cover the cost of the recommended service under either the power-train warranty or my ford extended warranty (bumper-to-bumper has expired).this is a huge safety issue and this should be a recall from ford to fix these issues and they apparently will not take the initiative to do so on their own. The incident occurred in southwestern missouri on a day in which it had been raining off and on.
When the turbo boost is 11psi misfiring begins - no after market engine programming. If turbo demand is not reduced, or is increased the engine light will come on and the transmission will be disengaged - 'limp mode.'on the date cited, this happened no less that 3 times. Local humidity was 50-70%, as i recall, and there was no rain. I have experienced this multiple times with local humidity noted at 50 %. My experience is that the misfiring will occur anytime turbo psi exceeds 11, whether towing or not, though towing will be more apt to encounter 11psi. My trailer is within all tow load limits for my truck, axles and tongue, per ford's rv & trailer towing guide.my first experience with the truck going limp was june of 2014. I pulled the truck to the shoulder next to a guard rail and called for towing. The local ford dealer said that there had been a #3 cylinder misfire and a momentary head over-temp was - which triggered limp mode.i have reported the misfiring to my dealer, and with ford's customer service. The dealer says ford has nothing listed for my truck or the issue. I told customer service and my dealer that there is plenty of internet traffic on this issue. Aside from the technical service bulletin implemented to put a larger air shield on the intercooler (cac), done to my truck in 2014 as a result of my experience, the issue still exists.it would seem to me that ford has not engineered a water separator to then drain off developed water from the condensation process before it is ingested into the cylinders. Ingestion of the water into the cylinders would cause a spark misfire, as was suggested to me by a ford mechanic.my vehicle is still under a ford issued extended warranty, as a result of a separate transmission issue. God forbid this occur while to someone towing on a two lane road with no shoulder!
I was driving home from the store when the check engine light came on so i connected a code reader and pulled a p0016. Crankshaft/camshaft correlation sensor. I took the truck to a mechanic to find out what can cause this code. After checking out the engine they foundthat the primary timing chain is stretched causing the play in the engine. This play causes the crankshaft and camshaft timing to be off enough to cause this engine code. This truck has 55000 miles on it and in no way should be having timing chain issues this soon. Clearly ford has a problem with this timing chain and i should not have to spend $3,500.00 to have this fixed. This is a growing problem for folks who have these trucks and needs to offer a solution before someone gets hurt.
Power train auto transmission controls module reset has already been done to car. When accelerating from 50-75 the transmission shudders and jumps. When you go up hill it's impossible to accelerate at all without the transmission shuddering. Engine light blinks occasionally.
If i start my truck and immediately put it in reverse my brakes will not work, i have to let the truck sit for a couple minutes before my brakes will work. I have replaced my brakes thinking this would correct the problem but it did not. I have backed into a concrete post because of this. Very unsafe
Driving down the highway at 75 mph for an extended period of time in high humidity. Pushed the pedal down to pass a couple trucks going up a mountain and the engine began misfiring and stuttering. There was loss of power and vehicle went into limp mode with flashing check engine light. Failed to passed the trucks causing a dangerous condition by producing unexpected results. This problem is detailed in ford's tsb 13-8-1. I believe that this is a dangerous condition and a recall should be issued for this condition.
The vehicle was being driven for approximately 300 miles when while attempting to pass another vehicle (accelerating from ~50 mph to ~65 mph) the engine lost all power.as the vehicle coasted back into the lane of travel power was restored to the engine. The following week the vehicle was inspected by bill brown ford in livonia, michigan.the dealer stated they could not find anything wrong with the vehicle but there was a technical service bulletin from ford for the inter-cooler.however the necessary parts were on back order for over 3 months.
While driving on interstate, check engine light came on and engine began to shudder very violently while losing power. Was traveling approx. 70mph
Driving with my daughter, i took a corner at approximately 25mph and then pushed the gas to get moving and lost all power to the engine, tried putting in low gear but to no prevail, tried again shifting back to drive with nothing happening.at this time we are stuck in traffic with people flying by us and nothing i can do. Finally i shut off the engine and let it sit for a minute.restarted and the check engine light came on but ran well enough for us to get home. I have not experienced this before and luckily we were close to home. If it happened once it will happen again and probably not the same luck i had this time. Something needs to be done about this problem.thank you
My 2011 f150 fx4 has been acting up with the transmission. This has happened multiple times and the dealer is unable to replicate it. So far they have changed all of th coil packs, reset the transmission, changed all the spark plugs in a hope that was the issue. Well it's not. The truck lunges forward with loud bangs and grinding noises. Rpm's go up and down and the truck sounds as if i downshifted from 6th gear to first. Then i can only go 40 miles an hour with high rpms. Engine lights have lit up and now a wrench. This is crazy my gauges don't work this is dangerous.
While merging into traffic on the expressway today in miami, at about 35 mph, i had to accelerate to get out of the merging lane, at which time (for the third time since i bought the truck in 2011) the truck lost all power to the engine (a 3.5l ecoboost) and began to sputter, shake, and decelerate. Luckily for myself and the other drivers on the road i did leave a sufficient gap between myself and the car to my rear to give that vehicle time to react to what equates to a vehicle pulling out in front of him/her and gently pressing the brakes without the brake lights engaging.my truck hovered between 25 and 30 mph for about 30 seconds with it doing the sputtering and slowing thing each time i attempted to accelerate during that time period.after pretty much coasting for 30 or so seconds, the truck sprang back to life and drove as advertised.from what i've read, this is not an isolated incident and i (as well as others) believe ford should be held accountable for this defect.i'm not looking for a new truck, i'd just like the problem fixed.even though no deaths or injuries have been reported due to this "yet", you can see the danger of having your engine loose power when you need it the most. Unfortunately for their customers, all ford seems to be concerned with is the loss of a buck......not the loss of a life!!![xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
20113.5 ecoboostwith 50,000 mileswould lose power when passing and pulling into traffic due to cam timing chain defect and engine ended up blowing up. $5,640 repair at 54,000 miles and still no recallon this common problem with this engine .
Timing chain rattle on startup
The truck has a hesitation at between 50 and 60 mph when going uphill in 6th gear.it feels as though the truck tries to shift but does not.additionally at least two separate times the truck has lost power when attempting to pass another vehicle.most recently on 5/29/2013 a vehicle pulled onto the road in front of me when i was driving approximately 55 mph, i pulled around the vehicle and accelerated to make it past the other car and avoid on coming traffic.the truck lost power and seemed to down shift.i let off the gas and tried to press it again with no response.at this point i was beyond the other vehicle and was able to get back into the lane and avoid oncoming traffic.the truck was still losing power so i attempted to press the gas again and the vehicle shuttered multiple times.i let off the gas again and waited a few seconds before accelerating and was able to resume normal driving.the weather was raining an humid at the time of the most recent problem.the truck has been brought to varney ford in newport maine at least twice for service of this problem.they have attempted multiple fixes but after the most recent attempt in september 2012 i was advised that the performance may just be "a characteristic of the vehicle" and that they could not do anything else to help.i have not contacted the dealer again because they appear to be unable to help.
Was high speed accelerating in nj from one hwy to another. Long on-ramp. During acceleration from about 40-45mph to get to 65 highway speed, the truck acceleration stopped truck shook, speed declined and the check engine light came on. I let off accelerator and 3-4 seconds later shaking stopped and check engine went off. I slowly came back on with accelerator and issue stopped. Weather conditions was rainy/wet/humid about 60f ~ 1000am. This is 3rd time has happened. First time was shortly after receiving truck new in 2011 ~ april in same conditions and second time about 1 year after that. First time and this time i took to local ford dealer and they found no codes. This recent i also started losing mpg from normally ~16.9 mpg and down to 12 mpg now. Dealer said they relayed info to ford and said replace spark plugs as no codes. I have others who have same truck bought for a company fleet with sequential vin's that have had same issue and had catalytic converters replaced. My dealer said ford refused.
I was driving and i had loss of power started misfiring shifting funny and i was almost killed by a large truck something needs to be done.
Upon hard acceleration, while trying to pass a vehicle, the vehicle shudders, shakes and stalls. The mph goes down and down even if pressing the gas pedal. I must pull over, put the truck in park and turn off the truck. Avoiding a head on collision is difficult when this happens. After restarting the truck, the engine light then comes on. This has happened on four different occasions.the gas mileage is now inaccurate and it appears that the "miles to empty" does not match the miles driven.rivertown ford (columbus, ga) claims to have no knowledge of this type of situation.spark plugs & boots were said to be the cause the first time on 6/2/18. The 2nd time 12/12/18, the "intercooler shield was installed & pcm reprogrammed" -- i was promised this was the 100% fix. As of 2/28/20, rivertown advises their fix is out of warranty and now requires $650 for "engine tear down required to determine point of failure".
The ecoboost engine flashed the check engine light and started blinking and lost almost all power, vehicle slowed to approx 35 mph in the middle of high speed traffic. Ford says the recall never happened because you closed it with satisfactory repair results. I am told i have to now pay for this fix since it is after their 3 year/36,000 mile warranty. Yet the vehicle almost killed us. They say they have a misfire , cac fix tsb to correct the issue.
Vehicle acts as if it wants to stall during rainy conditions upon high acceleration, only during wet conditions does the ecoboost not accelerate when needed. Has caused 3 serious situations where power was needed and expected but truck sputtered and would not accelerate. This has been dangerous and dealer has no fix. I am unhappy with this engine. There are no lights that come on to warn you of the condition, and you cannot tell there is a problem when cruising at highway speeds, only when you go to pass or need power.
Vehicle lost power while accelerating three times two times it was raining. Engine shook acted like it was running on 5 cyl instead of 6. Engine is 3.5 ecobost. One time the check engine light came on two times it did not. I sent ford an email on 12/15/11 and they had me go to my local dealer. The dealer was unable to duplicate the problem and there was no code in the computer. Ford was prompt in answering my email.i understand that nhtsa is looking at the problem and wanted you to have the information.
On hard acceleration like when entering a highway or trying to pass another car it will miss fire continuously thru the acceleration 60-70 mph.shaking violently and check engine light blinking throwing p0300 codesfor misfiring at 47,000 miles changed all spark plugs / coil packs / wires / air filter / 48,000 still misfiring
Under acceleration between 60-70 mph, trucks starts shuttering and decelerating.the check engine light starts blinking and will blink for about a minute before staying on.i was nearly rear ended by a semi entering the highway today as i was trying to accelerate up to highway speed and at approximately 65 mph, the truck started decelerating and shuttering down to 35 mph before i could get enough power to maintain that speed and get off to the side of the highway.
Well i have an issue with my trucks i have purchased from ford.well in august of 2011 i purchased the new f150 with ecoboost.the truck drove like a dream for a while then i started having issue, with the transmission, then engine losing power.this happen about 4 time during the life of the truck.the last time was in january 2013, it was the last straw for me.the reprogrammed the trans/computer and put a wind deflector in the front of the intercool.still lost power on a road trip on the way back home from s carolina.mind you the truck was in the shop for tran/engine/the right fender had to be adjusted it was misaligned, the bed of the truck same thing.this lost of power almost caused me to have a accident because i was merging onto the highway.i also had to sunroof replaced as it was vibrating the whole truck when moving.the driver seat track was replaced and the sliding glass window in the back was replaced too.the defrost stopped then the window stopped sliding.i stopped driving the truck so i could get rid of it i have a 2013 limited and have some of the same issue.now that i have a new 2013 vehicle i experience some of the same issue.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 35-40 mph and driving up an incline, the vehicle failed to accelerate and the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that a retro kit had to be placed onto the turbo boost. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,000.
My v-6 ecoboost engine shudders upon accelerating, loses power, check engine light flashing on & off. This has occurred several times especially when the weather is damp. My truck only has a little over 75k
Has a problem with the turbo intercooler getting condensation and make the truck lose power check engine light starts to flash whole truck just shakes had it to the ford dealer had to put a new cat converter on my warranty didn't cover any of it i said this is fords screwup why don't they have a recallended costing my $800.00 not to impressed ford motors also intercooler was full of ice and water.
2011 ford f150 equipped with 3.5l turbo charged engine traveling at 65 mph began misfiring and suddenly experienced a near total loss of power, causing the vehicle to slow to 25 mph quickly. The vehicle was traveling on a two lane highway with no shoulder and no place to pull off the road. This incident did not pose an immediate threat to car or driver, but under other conditions such as overtaking (passing) slower traffic, the sudden and near total loss of power could be disastrous. After quick research and consultation with the ford service center where i purchased the truck, i have learned the vehicle entered into "limp" mode to protect itself from mechanical damage. I have also found that this problem has long been acknowledged by ford motor company and has been the subject of a few technical service bulletins. Also to the best of my knowledge, ford, through this series of technical service bulletin's has failed to provide a permanent solution to this problem. I am filing this complaint in hopes that the nhtsa in cooperation with ford motor company can provide a quick and permanent solution to this problem before someone is seriously injured or worse due to an engineering flaw on a motor vehicle.
Engine losses power and shudders badly when trying to accelerate to over take. Engine light comes on and when diagnosed says misfire number 4 cylinder, checked and installed new plug and coil after 50 miles the same problem and dealer says they can not fix issue. This is the third time this has happened after coils have been replaced. The replacement coils were oem motorcraft units. In reading about this problem it appears that this power unit has a large number of complaints and issues.
I have had problems with my transmission.it will slip from 1st to 5th when starting out.it would only work if i put it in manual mode. While in manual modeeverything on my dash went blank and quit working. I had nothing to go by not even my speedometer.also it slipped from 5th to 1st while driving down the highway causing it to lock up and my wife hit me from behind.i took it to world of ford in pensacola.they told me about 2 recalls. 16s19,16n02, nhtsa recall 16v248.my truck has been there for over 10days and they said there is no timeframe on when it will be fixed.i have a pregnant wife and a job and now i'm out of my vehicles.the manager at world of ford frank told me to drive it away from his shop that they weren't going to fix it.i can't drive the truck by it's dangerous.i do have his conversation recorded by he was telling me to drive the truck away after it locked up on me.now i'm trying other sources to see what i need to do.anything would help.i can't afford 40$ a day for a rental.especially since i feel like it's a ford issue not anything i did.## vin passed ## ford f-150 2011 ##
Following two heavily laden 18 wheelers during a light rain storm for two or more miles on a paved, two lane county road, it came clear for me to pass, i accelerated and all went well for just long enough for me toget even with the first one in front of me. My momentum carried me far enough to pull back in front of the first truck. By that time i was in serious trouble. My truck would barely run, it was vibrating violently and there was no acceleration to get me out of the way of the truck i had just passed. Had he not braked hard for me there could have been a serious wreck. I've have had 5 other incidents with this vehicle. I've taken it up with fomoco, over a period the first year. Working through the oklahoma bbb i was assured ford would correct the problem.fomoco sent a texas rep to my work location to put the most recent fix on the vehicle. Following this fix, we continued into a dry spell, but as fate would would have it, i was in a heavy rain within the next 2 weeks and the problem reappeared. This time my wife was in the vehicle with me. She thought i had run over something because the action of the pickup was so violent.i've occasionally seen letters to the editor of motor trend's "truck trend". Other people describing the exact thing i've experienced driving this same type vehicle (early model ecoboost v-6, those built prior to april 2011, i believe).i have a huge file from the time when i was trying very hard to get this corrected, dealerships, dates, times, correspondence, ford tech bulletins, but i refuse to waste my time with you unless you contact me acting as if something might seriously be done. ([xxx], or e-mail, [xxx]). I have enough to prove my vehicle has serious problems and fomoco admitted it. A transcript of my meeting with them through the oklahoma bbb. It's interesting what they had to say. [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My name is [xxx], i own a 2011 f150 ecoboost.over the past 4 years i have encountered and same issue with the engine misfiring due to moisture getting in the intake.everyone dealership personal i've spoken with has confirmed that it's a known issue with that year and model and there is no permanent fix.however when the engine continuously misfires it calls for service on the truck and replacement of certain parts.i am filling this complaint because i do not believe this right that ford should be allowed to ignore a known issue that has almost gotten myself and family into a serious accident on the highway.as well cost me money out of pocket to correct.i would like to see someone hold ford accountable before this issue gets someone killed.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
While driving down the highway the fault code for timing chain p0016 came on and engine seized in the middle of the highway. I lost all power steering and brake power which caused me to almost collide with other vehicles trying to get off the highway with no power.after finally getting truck on the off ramp it took all i had to get it to stop at the intersection putting my life and the driver of the suv at the intersection life in danger.
Loss of power while drivingon interstate . Whether accelerating to pass or the need to acceleratein any instance or any time!! in a recent trip viainterstate the truck lost power !!if i would have been traveling on secondary roads and attempting topass , i do not believei would have made it.check engine light came on!i brought it to the repair shop and they ran tests on it and said it did code dtcp0016when deleting the code it would come back!!!i have parked the truck and was told there werenumerous complaints to thentsb on same problems. I bought the truck new and it only has 56000 miles on it an the ford servicesaidit was out of warranty i believe this is a safety problem that needs to be addressed!!!
Poor gas mileage. Window sticker says 23 mpg highway, best i ever got is 16 mpg,with cruise set at 65 mph on flat level highway.had at dealer, 4 times, they updated computer, changed turbo intercooler and they still cant improve my fuel economy. Around town i get 12 mpg. Bad turbo lag when pulling out low power, dealer said its how turbos work. Doors rattle, speakers crackle, rear end springs make a creaking sound. 4 wheel drivemakes a loud growling, sounds like gears are not meshed right. I would not recommenda new f-150 to any one.nothing but trips to the dealer and let downs.
This is a on going problem that ford knows about and have no fix for, and it will end up killing someone and no one seems to care.it happens when your merging on to traffic the truck boggs down and loses all power many times i almost got killed had to pull off the road so i would not kill the family.the keep coming out with fixes but nothing works including the last one where they put a deflector plate on the intercooler.i can not believe ford keeps putting out trucks when they know of this.
We just took our f150 (ecoboost v-6) on vacation. On more than one occasion we were trying to accelerate to pass other vehicle's and we lost all power. We merged into the passing lane as we were accelerating and when i applied more throttle we lost speed and power. After this happened once we tried to duplicate it when we on the interstate and pretend we were going to pass other cars. The power loss happened about 50% of the time. Furthermore, this happened when we were just trying to get on the interstate via an on ramp and get up to speed. I did not "floor it" to get on the interstate, i did a more aggressive acceleration and the pickup shuttered and lost power. I asked ford today (june 5th) if they had a recall on the vehicle and they said they might have an update, but nothing was certain. I consider this a serious safety hazard and we will not be driving the vehicle any more than we have to until this issue get resolved. I wasn't performing perfectly timed passes (we were on the interstate so there was no oncoming traffic) but this could be dangerous.
The ecoboost version that i own has an apparently "known" problem within ford where condensation builds up because of the turbocharger intercooler to the point that when you need to accelerate heavily to avoid a problem, to pass someone, or simply to get on a busy street or freeway, the truck sucks all that water into the engine and it completely misfires similar to just running out of gas.when this happens it can easily cause and almost has caused an accident.this happened first at about 700 miles and has happened numerous times since especially in high humidity.i keep hearing about "some fix is being considered by ford engineering" and that the problem is in the ford oasis problem reporting system number [xxx] i believe but 7 months later i am still waiting for ford to step up.this problem can and i expect will get people killed and that's just sad.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 50 mph attempting to pass a tractor trailer, the engine misfired and the vehicle would not properly accelerate. During the incident, the check engine light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the spark plugs were replaced, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 88,000.
On certain days, usually humid days, when you approach a hill and give it gas, a wrench appears on the display and the truck goes into limp mode. It may go for weeks without doing this, but when it happens, you may get killed. Especially, if you are on a highway. You have no power to move the truck. You are a sitting duck. I took in to a service station and the cleaned the throttle body, but it still happens. If you drive slowly without changing accelerator position the truck will drive but too slowly. It happens far too much.
While traveling to florida with family on vacation just coming out of mountains of tennessee went to pass a 18 wheeler hit gas was going 60 truck started shaking slowing down had traffic behind no cel light or any other warning light on let off gas three times before i could accelerate normal again then happened again in florida on i 75 on ramp had to let off two times before could accelerate.
Throttle body keeps going out, causing vehicle tostop no matter what speed you are going.
I was driving at highway speed and tried to accelerate quickly to pass someone and the truck had major hesitation and shuddering. Continues to do this anytime you try to rapidly accelerate.
Truck lost all power, could not maintain speed. No throttle response.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle stalled and failed to reset. The contact stated that an unknown red warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was towed to hagen ford (3980 euclid ave, bay city, mi 48706 (989) 684-4600) where it was diagnosed that valves within the engine came in contact with the engine heads and the engine needed replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under warranty for the timing chain. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was out of the 24 month coverage because it began at 28 months. The manufacturer referred the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was 85,000.
This is a ford ecoboost truck that is turbocharged. During a heavy rain on interstate 95 i tried to accelerate from about 5 mph and the truck lost power and barely moved. After about 30 seconds the truck regained power and moved ahead. There were 2 other instances on this trip also during rain.. The second time the check engine light came on and stayed on. Upon returning home i searched the internet and found out i am not alone in this. There have been 3 tsb's to effect a repair. I made an appointment with the dealer. The engine code was a misfire on cylinder #6. Tsb 13-08-01 was applied and i was billed $255.66. This problem needs a recall and repairs made before someone is badly hurt. I was nearly rear ended on the interstate. The problem is high humidity condenses in the intercooler (cac) or charge air cooler as ford calls it. Then a sudden acceleration causes the condensed water to enter the engine grounding out the spark plugs on the left side of the engine causing a loss of power and stall. This has also been known to damage the left catalytic converter. Why must i pay to fix a design flaw? ford needs to recall all of these trucks and repair them. This is not a mileage based problem but is inherent in all of them. During the right conditions it will happen.
While accelerating on to the highway on a clear, warm, sunny day; the turbo engaged and the truck began to shudder.there was immediate deceleration and the check engine light began to flash.after easing up on the throttle and coasting, the light turned off and the truck began operating normally.this occurred within 1-mile of travel. I was unable to replicate the issue on the remainder of the drive.this is a major safety concern as the speed of the vehicle drops dramatically in a short distance and the vehicle is unable to recover rapidly, leaving the vehicle's occupants susceptible to potentially catastrophic accidents on the roadway.
While towing my camper at 60 mph up an incline my 5.0l f150 began to lose power, as i increased pressure on the accelerator the power to the vehicle decreased even more.the service engine light came on and i limped up the hill at a whopping 20mph on the interstate.once on the downgrade the vehicle came back up to speed and the service engine light went off.the truck continued to have power issues and a knocking from the motor when i was climbing hills.i took the vehicle to the ford garage and they told me there were no codes to tell them what was wrong.the vehicle still has the apparent miss and knocking sound at certain rpm's and now has an issue starting for the first time of the day.i again took it to the ford garage when the starting issue was happening and they told me again that the vehicle still had no codes to explain this problem.i tried all of the easy fixes but the vehicle still has the same starting and power loss issues and ford can not tell me what is going on with my vehicle.my best guess is a catalytic converter issue, but i can do nothing about it until i know for sure.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While starting the vehicle, the contact heard a grinding noise coming from the engine. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 84,000.
Intercooler for turbo has been replaced twice and will need to be replaced for a third time as the vehicle loses power when accelerating for passing, etc.
Dates and mileage are close but aprox. This is going on now and ford has been unable to fix the problem after being in for repair multiple times.this is a constant problem with truck now.the first occurrence i was taking off from a light and went to accelerate and truck started hesitating and check engine light came on.ford said it was intercooler and fixed that but drove truck from dealership and did not get 1/4mile down road before it hesitated again.then ford said it was coil pack and seemed to fix it but then it started right back up within a month.
I was on the enter state two lane thank god.it was raining and i started to accelerate to get around a big truck and my truck started to shudder and lost power all power.my truck has the 3.5 liter ecoboost engine.this is the third time this has happened to me.
My f-150 supercrew 4x4 with ecoboost engine began misfiring on hard acceleration situations, such as merging and changing lanes on the interstate. After approximately 2 months, the issue has gotten worse to the point of misfiring under normal acceleration. The jerking from the misfire condition is quite violent, and i believe to be unsafe. This is a known issue related to the design of the trucks intercooler. Condensation builds during prolonged highway driving, particularly in humid climates. I am in arizona, but i drive 50+ miles a day on the freeway. The nhtsa dropped their investigation of this unsafe condition, apparently agreeing that ford's tsb was sufficient in dealing with the matter. My truck is not under warranty, however it exhibits a design flaw that is unsafe. How is there not a recall on this? disappointing.
3.5 liter ecoboost motors sputtered under acceleration on hill and has done this since bought.
This is a 2011 ford f150 with ecoboost engine.3.5 liter v6 dual turbo.i purchased the truck 12-7-13 and it failed on 12-27-13 having problems accelerating.it has no power and the turbos do not work at random.the loss of power all the time is a serious safety concern.luckily i did not crash or cause a crash because of the issue.but the truck has been in for service since 1-30-14 ,has been out of commission for over 30 business days and no dealership can fix it.the truck is under multiple warranties, but the issue of the turbos failing at random / ingesting moisture from the inter cooler is still there.3/31/14 the truck is still at a dealership.
As we were driving through lexington kentucky on rt 75 north, towing our enclosed car trailer with our mustang inside. It was raining pretty hard and there were 4 lanes of traffic on a rather steep grade, the truck went into limp mode as we attempted to change lanes on the freeway to allow traffic to merge from an on ramp. I had just read about a few incidents where this same thing had happened to others before we had left on this trip. The truck dropped to about 30 miles per hour, i had to maneuver to the right shoulder in heavy traffic towing a 20' long trailer in a heavy rain storm. We stopped the truck, shut it off, as described in the forums i had read about this same problem, and let it set for about 15 minutes. It restarted fine and ran good the rest of the way back to ohio.when we returned home i took the truck into the dealership we purchased it from and they said because the computer showed no codes there was nothing wrong with the truck, i was prepared for that with the articles that i had read and i said fix it or i'll file a suit against the dealership and ford! the mileage had dropped from about 16-17 mpg in the city to about 11 mpg in the city, it took them supposedly until august to "get the parts in" so far it's been fine but i haven't had an opportunity to duplicate the situation again.

Original service october 11 / 2015.second service december 28 / 2015coolant leek, turbo hissing, cutting out hissing when under acceleration. Condition when in motion on city street and highway driving.
The most recent incident resulted in transmission having a harsh downshift to first gear causing vehicle to jerk and engine revs up. This has happened several times in the past including a few days before taking it in for the recall repair in 2019. ( recall 19v -075). This problem, according to ford, is due to intermittent failure of the output speed sensor ( part of the molded leadframe in the transmission). Two latest incidents occurred on a city street. Have had at least one occasion on an expressway where vehicle had very jerky transmission shift while in cruise control. Have complained about this to ford and took the vehicle in on two occasions( see attached invoices). The problem has never been resolved and no warning messages or trouble codes have been found during the repairs. Ford issued an extended warranty coverage ( program # 19n01) on may 2019 and my vehicle still qualifies. I took the vehicle in this week to request they replace the molded leadframe since the problem is still present. They refuse to replace the part because they say no trouble codes are present. I have found others on ford forums who say they have the same problem and they also have no trouble codes stored either. Ford needs to acknowledge that the lack of trouble codes does not ensure the problem is not present. I continue to have concerns that my family's safety and others is jeopardized by ford not agreeing to take responsibility and making the necessary repairs. They themselves say in the recall notice that "this condition could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash."
My 2011 ford f-150 ecoboost 3.5 was idling at a red light then suddenly began a very rough idle. This went on for about twenty minutes ( on and off) then cleared up . We took the truck to the local dealership and had them look at it . They did a service order and came up with nothing wrong. We took the truck home and the problem remained. The truck was taken back 4 or 5 more times for the same problem and the dealership could never find a problem.while driving the vehicle on the highway and attempting to passslower moving cars, the truck hesitated and sputtered when the gas pedal was depressed. A month ago the engine started making a noise after a cold start and then lately a louder noise from time to time in the passenger side front area of the valve cover. Then the truckjust stopped on me while on the highway . I had it towed to the dealer and now we are talking about a new engine? what the ????? it has 50k and the oil was changed regularly, but the dealer is saying there is sludge in the oil which was changed less than 2000 miles ago. The timing chain is stretched, the intake cam vtc is broken and based on all of the other similar post i've been reading about this same issue they have revealed that the rod and cam bearings are also more than likely prematurely worn, requiring a new engine to repair the damage.
It is loosing power when acceleration during wet or cold conditions. This will happen when getting on the freeway, or passing, going up hills and acceleration from a stopped position.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle stuttered violently, while driving at various speeds. The dealer replaced the spark plugs and the spark plug boots. However, the contact felt that the repair would not be a permanent repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 15,000.
Driving 60 mph at night in the rain climbing up a moderate slope (1-2%), towing a 6800 lbs 35ft travel trailer, and suddenly the engine check light turns on and starts flashing, vibrations from what i assume was the engine, shook the entire truck and caused my vehicle speed to drop from 60 mph to approximately 40 mph in a few seconds. Turned on my hazard lights slowly pulled off to the shoulder, then in a few moment the light went off and engine everything was find. I was lucky there was no one behind me and the trailer didn't jack knife on the highway at night in the rain in traffic. This is a serious matter than needs attention and investigated and action taken against. I will be taking my truck into the dealership first thing monday morning to find out what is going on.take action before someone dies from this.
I was driving my ford f150 ecoboost at highway speeds for about 1 hour, a light rain started with humid conditions. While traveling around 60 mph i attempted to pass another car but my truck would not accelerate.it began to shake and shudder when i tired to increase speed which almost resulted in a collision because i was unable to accelerate while passing. My truck has now returned to normal function but i have become aware that the issue i had has happened to several others.this is very dangerous because your truck is running just fine and all of sudden it will not accelerate.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 55 mph, the accelerator failed to respond to acceleration attempts. Additionally, an error code (p0036) and the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact also mentioned that the vehicle failed to operate normally when driving in rainy weather. The vehicle was taken to a dealer but was not able to be diagnosed. The technician was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 3,500.
Vehicle loses power and misfires when accelerating especially at 50mph or higher.recurring problem over the years.mostly an issue when passing on two-lane highway.extremely dangerous.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 70 mph, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted to first gear and the vehicle slowed down. The check engine light illuminated. The contact exited the highway, turned off the engine, and restarted the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer who stated that there was a recall. The technician informed the contact that the part needed to be ordered and reprogrammed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the dealer billed the contact for the repairs, claiming that the repairs were not done through the normal recall process. The contact was assured that he would be reimbursed by the manufacturer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that there was a recall, but stated that the reimbursement would not be issued until the fourth quarter. The failure mileage was 77,000.
I have a ford f150 ecoboost. This vehicle is very defective due to loss of power when driving on highway trying to overpass other vehicles..vehicle looses power due to moisture or humidity that enters the intercooler. It also makes the cylinders to misfire and the turbo. Due to that engine turns on and i have to power to my vehicle while driving which can cause an accident due to a sudden slow in the middle of the highway.. I have three kids and i wouldn't want any accidents happening due to this.. Ford needs to do something about this vehicles i lost my money on a worthless piece of you know.im very disappointed because i've spend so much money on repairs are not working.
Loss of significant power under slight to moderate acceleration, engine shutters violently, shakes and miss-fires. Check engine light flashes. Engine seems to run on 50% power loss, letting off accelerator for awhile then engine seems to recover temporarily until additional power is needed. Unable to have any confidence to pass any vehicles on grades. Quite possible for complete power loss under full acceleration as the engine misses so bad that it actually slows down and looses rpm's. I have owned this truck since new. Symptoms started in dry climate, no rain and have continued to get worse as i have entered into rainy areas with humidity.
I drive a 2011 platinum with the 3.5 l eco junk when driving on the highway the truck looses all power and shakes and doesn't want to shift up when accelerating hard it will stick in 3rd or 4th gear at 70 mph and when it finally shifts it takes off fast and hard these trucks with the ecoboost are junk and they should just recall the whole truck considering ford can't figure out how to fix there problems
Engine stumbles or misfires at highway speeds, which lead to a loss of power when accelerating.
Truck will have severe intermittent stumble/misfiring on acceleration from 45mph+ in humid, wet or damp conditions.the vehicle shudders violently, bogs down, and check engine light flashes eventually becoming a solid engine light.this involves the engine shuddering when there is acceleration at highway speeds; this is very dangerous when trying to pass vehicles at highway speeds. Have my spark plugs and coils replaced after the following happened in damp and wet weather conditions.make years seem to involve 2011-14 ecoboost trucks.from thousands of ford forum posts, the trucks have an intercooler condensation problem that is causing poor performance and spark plugs/coils to fail early.water and oil vapor/residue condensation is being sucked into the engine.people have had to take it upon themselves to find a solution by drilling a 1/16' hole in the low point of the intercooler driver's side to drain oil/water condensation/residue or install a $400-$500 oil catch can separator which ford should be offering to owners with this problem.ford should own this problem and issue an appropriate fix like the oil catch can installation or confirm with its owners that it is ok to drill a weep hole in the intercooler.not the cheap fixes i have seen like tsb 13-8-1.
I was driving 70 mph up a hill when my truck started hesitating and my speed started to rapidly drop. I was in the fast lane and was forced to make my way to the right shoulder under a major power loss. The problem has since happened multiple time when i accelerate rapidly or under a load.
The engine on my 2011 ecoboost 3.5 l v6 ford f150shudders and stalls when you try and accelerate.the problem is sporadic.the truck has 67,000 miles and has stalled out when i was trying to accelerate into busy intersections or making turnsatleast three times and has happened while driving on the interstate fourtimes.it was quite scary and extremely dangerous.the dealership says that the issue is my truck and not a ford problem, though this is clearly something that has occurred in countless 2011 ecoboost f150 engines as it is all over the internet.this engine should be investigated by your organization and the vehicles should have been recalled. Below is a link with thousands of complaints that are all the same.http://m.carcomplaints.com/ford/f-150/2011/engine/engine.shtmltwo dealerships suggested i replace the engine at a cost of $12,000 to me.currently, the car is not driveable.
As i was merging onto highway 694 north, i had to accelerate because of a semi approaching me from behind, i gave the truck full throttle but the truck started shaking and the engine felt like it quit or just had no power left. The truck struggled to reach 55mph, and within seconds i almost got rear-ended and almost ran off the highway, do to the fact that my truck had no power. After i merged onto the highway the truck shook violently for about 3 miles while my check engine light was flashing. During this time it felt as though my truck had lost 50% of its power.
Vehicle stalls out like it is starving for fuel when you need to accelerate. It has stalled out when passing other vehicles and when entering heavy traffic on interstates. As of july 31, 2014, the truck has been back to the dealership at least 4 times for this problem.however, i continue to have the problem.
I was driving along hwy 95 in georgia for several hours early one morning.i went to pass a semi and lost all power.the truck rpms jumped up while the transmission down shifted to 4th gear but the truck did not accelerate.i had to get back into my lane in an abrupt way causing traffic to re-act and allow me back in.this has happened almost a dozen times since then.ford has been issuing tsb for a fix but none of them work.this is only happening on the 3.5l eco-boost motor.they are now in their 3rd model year of this truck and are still having this problem, it is only a matter of time before someone gets seriously injured.the timing of when this happens is un-predictable and often leaves no codes for the dealer to troubleshoot, so you get sent on your way with "could not replicate problem".ford has been claiming it is condensation in the inter-cooler, has issued computer updates numerous times, now they have released and upgraded inter-cooler, but the problems are still happening.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the transmission failed and the vehicle exhibited engine oil failure. The vehicle was taken to randall reed's planet ford (19000 eastex fwy, humble, tx 77338, (866) 844-5995) where it was determined that the vin was excluded from nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train) and nhtsa campaign number: 11v128000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 172,245.
Ecoboost 3.5 l timing chain stretch.on start up after sitting overnight, timing chain slapps the side of the crank case.common problem on ecoboost engine. Dealer tells me i need new engine.
It was raining very hard, and i had a cell phone call come in. I was on i-75 southbound. I pulled off the road to take the call. After approximately 15 minutes, i put the truck in "drive" and started to pull back onto i-75. At about 25 mph, i pressed the accelerator to the floor, and it sounded like the turbo waste gate opened fully. The truck stopped moving forward and began to shake very hard. There were 2 semi's coming toward me honking their horns. I released the accelerator and steered toward the shoulder of the road again. The truck limped off the highway, still shaking, but with less vigor. After approximately 2 minutes, the idle smoothed out somewhat, and eventually the truck ran smoothly. It took about 5 minutes. I took the truck to brondes ford in maumee to have it checked. I had an appointment friday, june 14. When i explained what had happened, the service advisor said she would have to check with her boss. She came back and told me there was nothing they could do, because no code lights were on and the truck wasn't doing it now. I asked if they could run a diagnostic and she said "no, bring itwhen it's doing it, and we'll check it". If it happens in front of 2 semi's again, i may not be able to bring it in! i could have been killed! i can't believe they refused to even run a diagnostic on it! this is a serious issue in my mind, but brondes ford does not seem to feel it is a problem.
While driving, rear wheels lock up for a few seconds, then truck shakes and has no acceleration power.this is happening at least once weekly now with loss of power lasting from 10 to 45 seconds.not safe when in traffic.local dealer says they can't find anything wrong and that they have no tsb on it.
Truck lost all fluid from transmission. Ford replace seal in transmission after sitting at dealer for nearly 3 weeks.since that time, i have made multiple complaints to local dealer about engine stumble on hard acceleration.dealer replaced air deflector per ford service bulletin. Truck still stumbles on hard acceleration. (06/01/2013) current mileage 40,900.
Engine stall-shuts down when it goes into passing gear. When you attemptto pass or enter onto a highwayyou accelerate and the engine shuts down
My timing chain stretched at 48 thousand miles. Ford needs to do a re-call on this. It is not ok that the consumer has to pay for a faulty product. Long time ford owner and this needs to be fixed
Going up highway @ 55mph. Pulled around a vehicle to pass. Once, i was in the oncoming traffic the engine suddenly lost power, chugged, and was stumbling over itself. I then got back behind the vehicle i was passing. The 4 passengers and i were all quiet and then freaked out.after a while we pulled out and accelerated to go up road again, truck dogged out. We had no clue what was happening, but everyone was freaked out. We called birthday party destination to tell them we have vehicle trouble and can't make it. Drove it down hill all the while worried the engine was going to blow. Drove it directly to dealership who stated they had no clue and did not want us to leave it there. Said set up appt. 7-10 days out. Parked it until appt. Then they replaced all spark plugs.we also have had troubles with the braking. Where it suddenly takes extra effort and requires the driver to press hard on the brakes to get it to slow down. When we've driven it to ford for repair they throw their hands up, act frustrated, like they do not have any clue as to what the problems are. We were hesitant to renew our state tags as it sits parked most of the time, since it chugged on level surface with no rain present, and the mechanics light came on. We feel scared driving it and it has remained parked for 3+ weeks. This is our newest vehicle, which looks new and yet we can't drive it. We're not made out of money, and can not easily replace this truck. We want ford to fix the engine and the brakes, and not act like they have no idea about these problems.ford wants us to take the loss on the vehicle value or continue driving it until something bad happens. They want nothing in writing. And, we do not want to sell the vehicle to a stranger. We'd allow you to inspect our vehicle....and drive it for a test drive. Would you want to be driving this vehicle with your young children as passengers?
The contact owns a 2011 ford f150. The contact stated that while attempting to accelerate, the check engine warning light illuminated as the engine became unresponsive. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that a wire connected to a spark plug was faulty. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 72,000.
While trying to pass a vehicleon the highway my truck started to sputter and loose power, the check engine light came on for a few seconds and went off. This problem is happening every day now under all conditions.there are numerous complaints on this problem and no real resolutions.

Engine shakes and loses power when you try and speed up.
The ecoboost engine ford introduced into the f150 (and other vehicles) in 2011 seems to be having common and widespread problems, including my vehicle. I first reported this issue to the dealer with about 30,000 miles and now again at 63,000 miles. The safety issue is revealed under any acceleration "event" such as highway merging, passing, towing etc.under acceleration the vehicle "chokes" and will not accelerate as the driver & passengers experience the vehicle stalling, shuddering or bucking. This is often described as the vehicle going into "limp mode" operating on fewer than all cylinders. The problems appear to stem from dysfunctional intercooler operation on this twin turbo engine. There are two different scenarios described in f150 blogs. One, most common, is that the cooling of the air via the intercooler causes condensation to accumulate inside the air intake. When the driver accelerates, the increase in air volume draws the moisture into the fuel delivery system and causes the engine to misfire, which the driver experiences as an engine stall, bucking or shuddering. The second scenario reported is that there is an overheating of air into the fuel deliver system which causes early detonation of the fuel mixture in the cylinders causing roughly the same symptoms. My vehicle repairs are costing me almost $700.00 - which would be more if i did not have an extended warranty. The dealer is replacing 6 spark plugs, 4 coil boots that have overheated and cracked, installing a new intercooler shield - none of which they are standing by as a dealer covered expense. Ford needs to be held accountable for this defective design for both consumer safety and financial reasons. Someone may be killed trying to pass or enter a highway as their vehicle suddenly looses power.
Just purchased my vehicle. Then take it in for service for rotors that's are shot with 25k on it. Find out the last guy blew the turbo chargers at 4000 miles n traded it in. The vehicle shudders from take off. Then shifts hard. Also shifts hard from reverse to drive. Noone wants to admits there's problems. Dealers keep says oh its ok. Not true. I want a new vehicle. I just got it. They can shove it. Losses power when it wants to. I plug a charger into the ports the radio goes static. I mean wtf .
I own a 2011 f150 3.5l turbo ecoboost truck. It has cause me nothing but grief! violent hesitation/shaking on highway when passing. Lose of power with engine light coming on left me on the road twice. Finally engine block exploded with a rod shooting out of engine. Oil spayed all over engine creating thick black smoke and poor visibility. Pulled over had to get out of the truck because smoke was inside. Countless ford attempts to fix the issue and nothing worked. Eventually the whole engine was replaced. I just received my truck back and have lost total faith in this product. There is something wrong with this engine! i have all documentation for this.
On i-70 near st. Louis, i was in the inside lane and when i press the gas pedal to pass with my f-150 ecoboost, the truck lost power and had almost completely shut itself off and the check engine light came on. I had to shut it down and let it set for almost 20 minutes before it would restart correctly and check engine light would go off. By luck i had enough room to move over on the median of the highway.
While driving under a load, towing, especially up a mountain side or steep grade, the exhaust manifold started chirping, or letting out air, power was reduced, and the situation was very unsafe. Since then, power has been down, as has fuel economy. The ability to do work is gone.
Timing chain stretched, engine malfunction.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving 70 mph, the vehicle went into limp mode. The vehicle was moved to the shoulder and restarted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where it was found that the turbo charger needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 45,000.
While driving at 55mph attempted to pass a vehicle on a two lane highway.accelerated hard to pass and heard a loud metal on metal sound and lost power briefly.i was unable to replicate the initial incident, but now the truck randomly misfires and shutters under hard acceleration. Sometimes the check engine light will illuminate other times it does not.dealer has been able to replicate the misfire but claims they can do nothing more. This is a safety issue because when power is needed most it is unreliable.i have escalated the matter to the corporate level at ford but have not heard anything back yet.
At about 30 mph while accelerating the engine will cut out and lose power.it will chug, cutting in and out for a few seconds before picking up.this also happens randomly when going up an incline.we have been put in a few dangerous situations by this before but thankfully nothing serious has happened. Took it to ford dealer where we bought it and they told us nothing was wrong.we took it back 2 more times and still was told there is nothing wrong.i called today to get the truck back in and they say there is no record of us taking the truck in the previous 3 times.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 10 mph, the contact heard a loud bang sound from the engine compartment. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road to find that coolant was leaking onto the ground. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and it was determined that the coolant was leaking into the oil and there were also metal shavings in the mixture. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 94,000.
Fx2 3.5l v6 ecoboost: was driving approx. 65 and had to quickly accelerate to pass.the turbos started to kick in and suddenly the engine began to shudder and misfire.check engine light came on and then went off.problem occurs during any sudden acceleration.
Truck started to shake violently when accelerating. Felt as if the wheels were loose or the u joint for the drive shaft was going bad. Had to let off the gas. Has been ongoing from the time i purchased the vehicle to present time.
The morning after i bought my truck in november. I went too start it on a cold morning and noticed a rattling noise coming from engine. Only does it when engine is cold. I've been told it is my timing chain. And the dealer wouldn't fix it since there was no warranty
This is the second time i have had this issue with this truck, while merging on a highway, my truck loses all power and starts shaking rapidly, once again i was almost involved in an auto accident because i could not merge. When i initially had this issue 50 thousand miles ago, i brought my truck to auto-nation ford in white bear lake minnesota, they said it was an issue of spark plugs, wires and coil packs, ford also said the issue was the inter-cooler. Ford fixed all of those issues roughly 50 thousand miles ago, but here we are, my truck is at 100,xxx miles and this issue happened again! this is a serious safety issue, i have now been run off the road twice and almost crashed into a lake! when my truck loses all power and starts shaking rapidly, i lose control of the half ton truck. I contacted my local ford dealership, (auto-nation ford) in white bear lake, where i bought the truck and they would like me to pay in full for all of theseissues, which ford clearly knows about. I know for a fact i am never buying a ford again, my safety and the safety of my family has now been compromised on multiple occasions and ford has not once taking responsibility or offered to fix the issue. I am very disgusted with the way ford has been handling these safety issues. When you buy a brand new truck and things like this happen, the company should take care of you, but once again, ford has proved that they do not care about their customers.
While traveling down the road and the need to accelerate to pass a much slower vehicle my truck lost all power and began shuddering very bad. With oncoming traffic approaching quickly i had to step on the brakes rather hard and quick to avoid a accident. What would have possibly happened if i was towing a legal but heavy load?ford has a known problem with the coils on the ecoboost and this truly needs to be addressed. This is a extremely serious traffic safety when you loose all power and the severity of the shudder that also occurs.
Went to pass a slower car on the highway and my truck started shacking bad and slowed way down. The truck only has 60000 miles and has been well cared for.it felt like i was driving on square tires.
#1: driving down the interstate, attempting to pass a semi; vehicle lost power as i tried to accelerate and we had to coast to a stop. This has actually happened twice. The first time they replaced the intercooler and the second time i replaced the spark plugs. It occurred about three weeks after getting the vehicle it's regular service. If there was a problem with the gaps on the plugs, and they knew cars were losing power because of it, then they should have mentioned that at the service!#2: driving down the interstate and speedometer jumped around and went to zero. After i got off the highway, i lost power and had erratic shifting while trying to cross an intersection. There's a tsb out for this too!! why isn't there a recall if there's a defective part that creates dangerous situations!?!?
Takata recall there is a cold start noise kinda sounds like a grinding noise also have a huge power loss when ever trying to accelerate. I get codes p0016 p0017 p0299 . I have changed all came and crank sensors.
Generally speaking with a new vehicle i "baby" a new vehicle until i get over 75,000 mi.first incident - noticed around 40,000 mi.when accelerating to pass at highway speeds the vehicle shudders and doesn't have power.thought it was bad gas, turbo lag, or intermittent transmission issue.problem occurred a few times over the years, every time was during acceleration to pass or merge on to expressway conditions.keep in mind since i was in the babying mileage range i rarely performed such acceleration.but after a couple of occurrences, i discussed this with a friend that also owns an ecoboost and he thought the same reasons.i have 7 year 100,000 extended warranty so i thought i would wait until the problem occurred frequently enough to easily trouble shoot.of course frequency wouldn't be enough until after i get out of the "baby" stage on mileage.currently the vehicle has over 75,000 miles.i no longer baby it.problem occurs every time i accelerate to pass at highway speeds.also, i have had the problem when accelerating to enter highway traffic from ramp.the ramp occurrence appears to be when i'm at a speed and then accelerate.not sure if the problem happens when accelerating from a stop or slow speed.i'm concerned this may lead to an accident and potential a life threatening or changing event.what is one life worth?i guess that depends on if its yours.i believe this is a life threatening event and know that drivers like myself once aware pay attention and proceed with caution and this is the reason there hasn't been life lost, or no one has proven this was the root cause to accidents that have occurred.i fear for those who are not aware of this issue and that they may discover it at the wrong time. Please do something to help.
On october 26 at around 1230 pm i was going the speed limit 60 mph. On loop 250.all of a sudden my truck starts jerking really hard. I let go of the gas and looked at the dash the speedometer and gears were going crazy up and down. I was able to pull over safe cause it was lunch hour lots of traffic. Turned truck off was shaking, scared and very upset. Called my husband told him what happened asked if i was ok i said yes besides very shaken up. He said it might be the transmission or tcm . Started the truck went slow to dealership. This was very traumatic experience i'm thinking what if the gears would've gotten stuck or reverse and i would've rolled. Please look into this cause it was very scary.
While merging into traffic the engine began to loose power and misfire.the vehicle entered "limp home" mode, noted by a flashing check engine light. The vehicle was taken to the ford dealership and simply had the error codes cleared. Similar incident occurred few months later and the vehicle underwent recommended repair/upgrade per ford tsb including intercooler cover and reflash of computer. For past week vehicle has had persistent power loss and "shuttering" during acceleration. This not only limits the drivability of the vehicle,it also endangers the occupants when attempting to merge with traffic and crossing intersections. The dealership is aware of the problem,however there seems to be no effort to find a "complete and lasting" solution.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f150. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph, the vehicle vibrated and lost acceleration power without warning. The failure was experienced numerous times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for the failure. The coils spring was replaced several times; however the failure was not corrected. The vehicle continued to vibrate and would also stall without warning. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 100,000 and the current mileage was 108,163. The vin was not available.
My 2011 ecoboost f150 would sputter, shake and chug as i do a hard acceleration entering a highway or pass a vehicle. 4 times i have had my truck for service with the last 12 months for the same exact problem. My engine light will flash several times and then it will stay on till i take the vehicle in for service. 2 times the dealer has told me the problem is a turbo cooler issue and want to charge me $200 for some cheap lick and stick plastic air deflector. The other 2 times they have said i have a bad distribution wire and plug. First was on cylinder 3 and second time on cylinder 1. Every time this has happened on a hard acceleration, its been during heavy traffic and i have had to pull of the road to avoid an accident. I have to now be very cautious when accelerating as i feel this truck is an accident waiting to happen. I hope someone can get this recalled as i know there is a lot of these trucks out there with the same problem.
Rainy day traveling on highway 19 near crockett , texas. Tried to pass slow moving vehicle and engine stalled, check engine light came on and started missing. Lost power and i was forced on the side of the road to avoid collision. Took truck to dealer and he installed a small plate over inter cooler. Several months later while passing on a humid day same thing occurred with same results. Pulled to side of road because i could not get back into my lane due to other cars. Took back to ford in october, 2013 and they installed another plate on bottom of intercooler and reprogrammed the computer. I have no faith in the repairs and will probably never try a pass in any humid or wet weather.
2011 f-150 with 3.5 liter ecoboost engine.truck had been driven approximately 20 miles in the rain. Stopped at a traffic light and then proceeded to turn left. Accelerated up a hill on a 2 line highway and truck began to shake violently and lost all power in a moving lane of traffic. Acheck engine light came on. Pulled to the side of road and after a minute truck cleared up and drove normal.currently the truck surges under moderate acceleration and in 3rd gear will go into limp mode and lose all power. Only occurs under moderate acceleration.
While trying to accelerate at higher speeds the vehicle shakes and appears to misfire. When this happens the vehicle struggles to accelerate and black smoke appears from the exhaust. This occurs mostly while trying to pass another vehicle. The check engine light appeared in the beginning and the code referenced a problem with one of the ignition coils which was subsequently changed but the problem still existed without any codes appearing.
2011 f-150 3.5l ecoboost loss of power when accelerating from 50-60 mph to pass a vehicle.vehicle bogs down and i was nearly rear ended twice in one weekend.many are having this problem, i have taken the truck in for service and ford cannot find a fix.this is either a fueling issue or a condensation issue in the turbo system, this problem only occurs in high humidity or rainy weather and usually has a misfire feeling to it.ford is not pushing the issue and there are going to be accidents before they do anything.personally i would not like to be killed in my new truck.the engine light has came on and threw codes p0300, p0304, p0305, po306, which are all misfires, but when the truck is shut off and turned back on no codes are stored. This needs to be fixed before someone gets hurt.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving at any speed, the vehicle shook, lost power, and slowed down without warning when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated there was a recall and the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The recall information was unknown. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.
Cold start horrible grinding noise happening for over a year, that i've determined is a stretched timing chain and commonly reported and complained about by ecoboost owners and should be addressed by ford.
Primary timing chain wear. According to tsb. 15-0044,the structure of the timing chain is inferior to the point it stretches. If it breaks, the engine will be compromised and a full re-haul of engines interior will be needed. A loud grinding noise is always heard upon startup in a "cold" start up.several complaints on line concering ford's below standard of material / cost of any repairs. Also mentioned is after repairs are done, same trouble returns in short period of time after repairs. Unknown the affect the timing chain will have on vehicle if it breaks in transit. Note: as far as i can tell, the issue has started as soon as vehicle purchased reaches "out of warranty" mileage status.
Driving 2011 ford f150 ecoboost on the highway on a 8 hr trip to reno from las vegas. Went to pass a large truck and experienced shaking and studdering. Had to back off as oncoming traffic was approaching. Had to back off and almost caused an accident in rainy conditions because another vehicle was behind me attempting to pass along with me. This caused swerving and hard braking by many vehicles behind that vehicle. Check engine light flashed but did not remain on. I later replicated this by doing a hard acceleration on a clear stretch of road same studdering and flashing light. Drove conservatively the rest of the way. In reno, i had the truck scanned at an auto parts store. No codes showed. Have not had an issue since. This could have killed people. The internet says this is a known issue to ford on the early ecoboost engines having to do with faulty intercooler design which gathers moisture then blows it into the cylinders when accelerating. I live in the desert and so have not had this problem until that trip. They (ford) have never notified me that this is a potential problem. There is a tsb for it but that won't help the large bill for the fix or the safety hazard this condition creates. This needs attention. At the least, ford should notify owners that the problem exists, that itis a safety hazard and fix at no cost.
Vehicle downshifts while driving abruptly and without cause.this has occurred at highway and city speeds as well as with and without a trailer in tow.the front end still is all over the road, following tire replacement, brake replacement and alignment.
Vehicle "shudders" or "bucks" slightly under light acceleration from 55 mph on up. For a $45,000 vehicle and no fix yet this is totally unacceptable.
As described in nhtsa action number pe13018- hard acceleration and the engine misfired while trying to pass a vehicle on a highway.
We were driving in normal conditions, going about 40 mph, all of a sudden we lost power/acceleration and truck jerked, and brakes seemed to applied by their selves very hard. This seemed to happen sporadically until about a week ago.its happening now at least 3 times a week.the truck is driven everyday on the interstate and my husband is very concerned that he is going to cause an accident.it happened yesterday and he said it was so bad, when the loss of power happened, the brakes locked so bad the tires just screeched. He took truck to the dealership on 3/4/14 and they could not find anything wrong with the truck.on the way home from the dealership (same day) it happened again.after the dealership told him that, i began searching on the internet and found the loss of power/brake problem.(moisture in cooler causing loss of power problem in f-150 echboost engines) he called the dealership back and he told them about the info on the internet that we had found, and that if had happened again that same day, they told him they were aware of the echboost problem, but can't do anything about it until a recall happens, so they did nothing to the truck .this is definitely a problem and it is going to cause a collision and possible death or injury when this happens.there definitely needs to be a recall on the f-150 ecoboost trucks. Please help everyone that owns this vehicle and issue a recall.
While traveling at 40 mph, i accelerated to enter a highway, the engine accelerated and then bogged going into what is called "limp mode". The engine began to shake and misfire causing my vehicle to decelerate rapidly. This action nearly caused a rear end collision with oncoming traffic. On march 26, 2012 i was traveling at 65 mph on interstate 95 when i attempted to accelerate to pass another vehicle. The engine immediately began bog and misfire causing the vehicle to decelerate rapidly. Again, nearly causing a rear end collision. The vehicle has been taken back to ford for a diagnosis, ford engineers are apparently aware of this problem.
Upon acceleration my truck shifted roughly sputtered and shut down, then the wrench showed up and i had to drift to side of road.this has happened 3 times.they have done a computer update 1st time, no luck, replaced a loose pin,no luck, replaced computer , no luck, replaced crank shaft sensor, no luck.this is aserious safety event. Two times my truck stalled and shut off while merging onto an extremely busy highway. I have children that ride in my truck and i do not feel safe. I have opened a case with ford but all they want to do is keep fixing it.44,000 truck , transmission stinks and i want a refund.someone is going to be seriously hurt or die due to this problem.
While driving at a constant speedyou could not increase in speed.the engine would only shutter until i stopped and restarted the engine.this happened a number of times, at three different time it put me in danger while in heavy traffic.it would not allow me to increase speed to get out of danger only come to a complete stop at the side offa busy interstate.i found a service bulletin from ford and they installed the new vain in theturbo.this helped the problem but it really hurt the fuel mileage after that.
I have a 2011 f150 with the 3.5 ecoboost. I have had numerous rough 3-4 upshifts since the truck was new. Brought the truck to dealer twice and was told they could not duplicate the rough shift. I have also had the engine stumble on me twice will trying to pass. I have read others are having similar problems and am hoping ford will have a fix before someone gets killed in a wreck.
Loss of power during acceleration with ecoboost engine. I have been complaining to the ford dealerships about this since right after i bought the truck.thank you for putting this problem in the media as i am now hopeful for a resolution.i called the ford dealership this morning and they said they knew nothing about it and to contact ford.here we go again with no one in ford service departments wanting to acknowledge and resolve the problem.......
Upon trying to pass a truck, when i stepped on the gas for added power, the engine convulsed and shook the entire truck, lost power, engine light flickered... I pulled over immediately, called the ford dealership, they did a check through on star (type system).said they saw nothing?!started back up, seemed to be fine once again.this has happened now multiple times.always when stepping on the gas for added power, same scenario.this is the eco boost engine.while i love the power, it has failed me 5 times to date.same problem as the pe 13-018 report.
2011 f150 ecoboost at 57k miles mid july 2013 experienced violent shuddering lose of power pulling up hill at 60 mph. Engine light came on. Taken to dealership where repair was listed as #2 coil pack costed $277.now jan 2014 six months and 13k miles later same event. Check engine light came on twice while driving to work. Used on board diagnosic tool i had purchased and truck coded p0303 as #3 cylinder misfire obviously the #3 coil pack has gone bad at 70k miles.
Truck lost power while entering i 75 under hard acceleration. This has happened eight different times. Truck has a miss in the engine. This causes a drop of 5 miles per gallon.
Driving at highway speed (apx. 70 mph)attempt to pass a slower vehicle, and upon acceleration, the truck lost all power, and would not speed up. The check engine light came on, and stayed on until the truck had been turned off and restarted. I have experiencedthis problem on numerous occasions, and it always seems to occurin the rain, or high humidity days. I have narrowly avoided an accident on 3 occasion.the dealership where i purchased the vehicle has told me to use "fuel additive" every time i complain, stating the problem is water in the ethanol that is blended with gasoline in texas.i recently learned about this problem having a fix, through the web, and i am now told "there is a fix, but it not a warratny situation"
Vehicle lost power and shook violently during highway on ramp acceleration. This has occurred multiple times and placed me and my family in the direct path of oncoming traffic with no ability to accelerate.
Accelerating onto freeway vehicle miss fired and started to sputter and shake uncontrollably engine light started flashing, pulled vehicle over turned it off and waited 5 minutes to check manual. Restarted and no problems.few days later started to pass a vehicle on incline and the vehicle did the exact same thing again. Repeated turn off and rest continued drive no problems.this is a safety issue while driving due to the massive shaking and lack of vehicle power to move with traffic. Took to dealer and they could replicate incident, however can't seem to diagnose problem. This should be brought to the attention of ford motor co. Before someone gets killed in traffic accident due to loss of vehicle power.3.5l ecoboost fx4 f150 crewcab.
From a dead stop i accelerated to turn into her driveway the engine hesitated and stumbled it sounded like you had thrown a handful of marbles inside the intake the engine made a funny noise then died after getting it restarted the check engine light came on upon returning the vehicle to the dealership i found out it had melted the intake manifold sensors and part of the throttle body away ford has no idea what caused this the truck is also been plagued with electrical problems. Apparently it came real close to an engine fire the truck is still broke down at the dealership since august 5, 2011.

The check engine warning light illuminated and the vehicle started shaking. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the inter cooler needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
Trying to accelerate onto the highway the engine misfired, started with excessive vibration and started decelerating.the engine would not recover and had to coast to shoulder and turn off engine.during deceleration, tried to add throttle several times through all speed ranges, but vibration was excessive and no acceleration was achieved.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contacts stated that the vehicle consumed excessive amounts of oil. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who performed an oil change and recommended returning for a follow up after 1,000 miles. The vehicle was taken back after 1,000 miles where the dealer informed that the vehicle consumed 1.5 quarts of oil. The technician stated that the vehicle was functioning as designed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 28,000.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked for approximately 40 minutes when the horn sounded and the contact noticed flames coming from under the hood near the engine. The entire vehicle became engulfed in flames. There were no injuries associated with the fire. The police and the fire department were at the aid of the contact. The fire and police both advised him that they were unable to determine what caused the fire. The manufacturer was later contacted and offered no assistance. The failure and the current mileages were approximately 7,000.
Driving on the interstate at 75 mph.i attempted to pass a car by giving the truck wide open throttle.the truck responded by down shifting several gears, and the rpm's increase to around 4000.once this happens, the engine starts to bog down/misfire and the truck will not accelerate.the check engine light starts to flash.i let off the gas and the truck continues to misfire for several more minutes before clearing up on its own.this has happened on 4 or 5 different occasions.
Towing a 9500# fifth wheel trailer on interstate complete loss of power shuddering and inability to accelerate.
My complaint is that ford has a governor on the engine that only allows the vehicle to reach approximately 89 mph. Yet the speedometer indicates 120 mph and no indications in the owners manual that the engine has a governor and top speed is 89 mph. I believe ford is making a misrepresentation and false advertising to the public.ford has stated to me the reason for this is to not exceed tire rating speed. However my truck came with 113 mph speed rated tires.ford also admits that there is no indication or mention of the governed speed.i don't have a need to go beyond the posted speed limit or want to go 120mph. That being said , i was driving on interstate 81 posted speed 70 i was doing about 73-75 mph in the right lane, along side of me in the left lane was a dodge truck with a trailer doing approximately 75-80 mph and a tractor trailer behind him on his bumper. The tractor trailer abruptly pulled behind me and slightly ahead another tractor trailer started to pull from the shoulder of the road onto the highway.my choices - slam on the brakes and hope a loaded tractor trailer 4' off my bumper can also stop, accelerate and pull in front of the dodge truck.i chose the latter and just imagine my surprise just as i cleared the dodge and started to pull into the lane in front of the dodge my truck engine stalled at 89 mph.i don't know what else i could have done in this situation, but not knowing that ford had the engine governed almost caused an accident.probability of this same thing happening again, i don't know.but the point of this is that ford should be required to recall all these vehicles and remove the governor or change the speedometer to reflect the top speed as 89mph.not let the consumer believe they are buying a vehicle that will do 120mph but conceal the fact that it will do only 89mph.after all it's not ford's place to enforce speed limits.
Vehicle bogs while moderately accelerating onto the interstate while pulling a trailer with a load under 3,000 pounds. It seems as if the engine is stuck on the rev limiter. There is minimal power available and it is very dangerous. I did not buy a powerful truck in order to experience this.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the vehicle would shake violently and fail to accelerate. The check engine indicator illuminated and the vehicle stalled. The dealer stated that the air deflector plate failed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failures recurred. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 40,000.
My vehicle is equipped with the 3.5 liter ecoboost 6 cylinder engine.upon attempting to pass a vehicle while traveling at freeway speeds, the vehicle began to hesitate and the engine felt rough.the vehicle refused to accelerate, causing me to swerve back into the right lane to avoid being rear-ended by a vehicle traveling in the left lane.after approximately 30 - 60 seconds, the vehicle would accept throttle and resume normal operation.this problem has repeated itself on multiple occasions and my vehicle is currently at the dealership for the 7th time to remedy this problem.in only one instance of the many that i've had, i did get a check engine light on.fortunately, this was documented by the ford dealership as one entire bank of cylinders misfiring.additionally, i have been complaining of transmission shift issues, where at slow (less than 10 mph) speeds, the transmission often 'hunts' between two gears and once selected, a loud noise emanates from under the vehicle and causes the vehicle to noticeably jerki only learned of nhtsa pe13018 on 1/28/15.the first incident yielded installation of the deflector in the vicinity of the charge air cooler.another incident yielded a tsb to remove the deflector, and most recently another tsb to re-install said air deflector.in every instance of this problem, i've had to execute emergency maneuvers to avoid traffic accidents.the service manager at my local ford dealership has commented that ford engineering has no clue how to remedy this issue.my vehicle currently has approximately 75,000 miles on it and is covered under ford's extended warranty.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150.the contact stated that the vehicle would stall sporadically while attempting to accelerate.

While accelerating from the ez-pass lane at a nj toll plaza, with no warning, the truck experienced a violent shudder and complete stall (engine power loss). Although the power did come back up within 3 seconds, it was very frightening and i felt my family was in danger with vehicles coming up behind us quickly. Luckily, we were able to get off the highway.
New 2011 ecoboost v-6 f150 super-crew auto 6 speed transmissionwith the engine in manual shift 1st gear cold engine the accelerator sticks at what ever rpm's you are running and will start going faster without foot on pedal i have had to date 10 run aways and ford won't or can't fix it. The only way to stop it is to slam on the brakes and turn key off.....if your in traffic it could cause a serious accident. It also may cause serious damage to transmission and engine...
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle decelerated and began to shake without warning.

The failure mileage was 8,000.
3.5l ecoboost. Exhaust manifold bolts brake or come loose. Resulting in warped exhaust manifold. Loss of power. On highway going 60 miles an hour when lost power and resulted in speed down to 30-20, and nowhere i could pull off highway to emergency lane. Was basically stranded. Took the vehicle into ford dealership in roseburg oregon july 16 2021 where they told me that it was an exhaust manifold which had been already done the year prior 2019 at a cost of $1200. This time it will cost $2500. There were no warning lights or advanced notice of any problem. We were going up an incline on interstate 5 and it was like somebody turned the key off lost power and overheated.
This afternoon i got into my vehicle. After starting my vehicle i then proceeded to turn my rear defroster on. Once i turned my rear defroster on i heard a loud pop and then noticed that my rear window was shattered. I believe that their is a defect in the rear defroster of my 2011 ford f-150 because this same incident has happened before.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the running boards were too narrow and slippery, causing her to slip when trying to enter the vehicle. The failure recurred whenever it rained or snowed. The manufacturer was notified but offered no assistance. A dealer was notified but offered no assistance. The failure and current mileages were 11,860.
It was a 20 degree morning so i decided to use the remote start to warm up my truck before i went to work. I climb into the truck and go to back out of the driveway and noticed the rear passenger side slider is shattered. I've never hauled anything in the bed so nothing would have came into contact with the window. After doing a little research, i discovered that there are plenty of ford owners that this has happened, one gentleman had his child in the back when this happened! fortunately my children were not with me at the time the window shattered. Hopefully ford will cover this being that it's $800, but i'm guessing they'll tell me it's not they're problem.
The rr turn signal does not work at all. The rr brake light does not work at all. The rf turn signal flashes fast. The rf running light does not stay lit when using the remote to unlock the vehicle.i have checked all bulbs, that are fine, fuses fine. I should note, till it is fixed i can't get it inspected, and therefore can't get it registered.
After receiving recall 19s07-19v-075 by mail and having it reprogrammed by crater lake ford medford,or the transmission shifts worse than the original. My vehicle was manufactured at georgia plant. 3.7 flex fuel. I was in cruise control going down a mountain pass with my foot on the brake and the cruise control failed to disengage and then abruptly shifted to a lower gear. The cruise control works flawlessly on most grades. The problem only seems to occur when during on highways in the mountains. 39k miles. Way too many light bulbs have gone out on this model.never off-roaded . Not a work truck. Never even towed anything. Since that downhill cruise control problemoccurred, now i have an antifreeze coolant leak at the expansion overflow tank on the 3/4 quick disconnect hose . Vehicle has never overheated. Low speed high rev before shifting into 2nd gear. Cruise control problem only on highway going downhill. Did they mistakenly reprogram my f150 with wrong recall?
When using the left turn signal it will not work only in the back tail light. So when i use my left turn signal it sounds inside my truck a little bit faster than the right side so it knows the blinker is out although the blinker on my left side mirror still works and the front left blinker still works i have tryed numberous times to change the tail light and have others look at it and change the tail light with brand new bulbs but nothings works.

In 2016 i went to get recall repaired from franklin tn dealership i purchased the truck from, they refused, in 2019, they claim that the software was not available from ford, online in emails to another dealer, i have not been told when to bring truck in to get all recalls repaired. Both dealerships are in tn. When in first gear, the truck will jerk back down and won't allow me to go to 2nd gear without pressing hard on gas, loud fan noise from the hood, breaks go to the floor and i have to pump to feel truck slowing down, air and heat continue to not work, air won't get cool and heat won't get hot, both dealerships have refused to repair or blamed ford for not giving them what they needed to fix the recalls. I am documenting so my family will be able to give this to attorney. The down shift happens when the truck is in drive moving on any and every street, parking lot, stop light/sign. The loud fan noise from the engine only happens when the truck is started, the brakes have been going to the floor for 8 years at different times of the day/night when driving.

When the "service advance track" light indicator lights up, when you actuate the turn signal lever, the turn signals will only flash once, and then they stop flashing.this can happen when the vehicle is stationary or moving at any time.
No left rear break light, no left rear turn light, only flashes quickly on left side mirror and left front turn signal. Had it tested with 3 different mechanics, who all state modular defect. Two different ford dealers claim no issue with vinn#, yet there are recalls for same issue.problem is both stationary and moving. New bulbs short out.unable to get vehicle inspected due to issue.

Started vehicle in garage, depressed brake, moved shift selector to reverse position and "r" indicator didn't light, vehicle wouldn't move in reverse. Would move forward & "d" indicator lit. Turn vehicle off, restarted, moved shift lever to "r" indicator and it lit and vehicle would move. This happened 3 times between 12/21/2018 & 12/25/2018. Had friend try shifting while i watched rear backup lights. They lit when "r" would light, and wouldn't light when "r" wouldn't light. Also on 25th, all shifter positions wouldn't light when returning home. Very scary!
2011 f-150 xlt will not go into reverse or other times when you put it in reverse the vehicle behaves like it's in neutral then will suddenly shoot backwards (does this in drive as well-forward). When this occurs the backup lamps do not illuminate and the backup camera does not function and the instrument panel does not display the what status the vehicle is in...ie drive/reverse etc.... I took the vehicle to my mechanic who immediately informed me the vehicle was under recall (nhtsa campaign #12v190000). He printed the service bulletin and recall info. I took the vehicle to ford where i was told my vin # did not fall under the recall despite the fact it's the same exact model transmission, vehicle, and issue to the letter. It should be known that many more vehicles are affected beyond the initial recall. This has the potential to be an extremely dangerous defect as the vehicle lunges backwards/forwards without any indication of the status of the vehicle and while the vehicle's safety features are not working properly.

I own a2011 ford f150 fx4. While my truck is parked and engine off and doors locked the dash backlight stays illuminated and drains the battery completely.z this begin about 6 months ago.around 55k miles on it. I have to unhook my battery when i get out of the truck to prevent my battery from draining.i found if i unplug battery forabout 10 min i find the backlight will not come on for about days. Also, mydrivers side back door will not unlock remotelyorinside the car.it can only be locked or unlocked manually.
I rented a ford pickup truck from u-haul, and i feel that the automatic lighting controls on it are a safety issue.at night, when you open the driver's door, the dashboard illumination (speedometer, other gauges) comes on automatically.when you put in the key and start the engine, the daytime running lights (white lights on the front of the truck that are not as intense as the normal low-beam headlamps) come on.the dashboard illumination remains on at all times.*the rear red running lamps/tail lamps do not illuminate*, but this is not obvious when you are in the driver's seat.the result is that it is possible to drive at night with some white light coming out of the front of the vehicle, and the ability to read the speedometer, but with *no rear lighting*.i verified that the parking/emergency brake was fully off (as that is sometimes an input to the drls), and had a friend stand on the side of the street and observe as i drove the truck, and he verified that i had no running lights/tail lights on the back.the brake lamps operated normally when i stepped on the brake, but there was no red light to the rear unless i was stepping on the brake.all of the above was with the headlight switch off.when i clicked the headlight switch to the first position, the running lights illuminated (orange on the front near the headlamps, red in the rear lamp clusters.)when i clicked it to the second position, the normal low beams came on at full intensity.what i think should be different: either the automatic lights/drls should also turn on the tail lights at night, or there should be some indication to the driver that he needs to take additional action (operate the headlight switch) in order to have tail lights.having the speedometer illumination go out when the engine is started might be a good choice.
When trying to shift into reverse the dash light will not illuminate, will not shift into reverse, and maintenance wrench light comes on.i am able to shift into neutral, drive, and any other gear with dash illumination and operate the vehicle.reverse will not shift and after multiple tries it finally takes and "jolts" backwards without warning and allows me to backup.however dash light never changes and am unsure when it will shift.i am told by the dealership that it is a malfunctioning "transmission range sensor".my vehicle matches the make, model, and year of an active recall: #12v190000 however i am informed by the local ford dealership that my vin number does not match the recall list in oasis? and therefore is not covered by ford.i have had no issues with my vehicle up until this point and cannot believe that ford is refusing to cover this obvious safety hazard.
Intermittent advance trac error message seems to cause turn signals to malfunction (you have to hold lever in position to keep flashers on to indicate turning/lane change). Problem goes as mysteriously as it came- from 5mph to 55mph. Turning traction control off has no effect on it.in two weeks this problem lasted for about 10 minutes on one occasion; and from my morning commute (25min) to my evening commute (25min) on another.
Reverse lights failure.
Recall 12c23 dealer& manufacturer state doesn't apply despite same symptoms in recall. Dealer witnessed issue while doing recall 19s07 i told them ot had started about the same time i discovered the current 19s07 recall. Ford said they were reporting the issue as well.

On february 13, 2014, my ford 2011 f-150 ecoboost began to show signs of limited throttle response coupled with a drastic reduction in power output and moderate to severe engine vibration. These symptoms occurred and were most severe under heavy engine load, while traveling uphill, high outside air temperature and with the air conditioner on.general locations: mojave high desert (joshua tree, ca) and the greater palm springs, ca area.weather conditions were generally dry with low humidity.on february 15, 2014 the symptoms described above were so violent that the check engine came on (flashing) and i pulled off the road for my own safety.i shut off the engine, allowed it to rest' and then turned the engine back on.the symptoms did not disappear completely, but they were reduced and the check engine light was no longer illuminated.on february 20, 2014 i brought my truck to yucca valley ford to have the problem diagnosed.mileage at the time of the service was 68,382 miles.a diagnosis was performed and it was determined that the engine was misfiring on the number 1 cylinder due to worn spark plugs.all 6 spark plugs were replaced and the symptoms disappeared.the truck ran fine until approximately june, 2014. The symptoms slowly began to reoccur and by early august, had fully returned.on august 8, 2014, while traveling at freeway speeds, up a steep grade, with external air temperatures in the low 100 degrees, low humidity, and the air conditioner on, the truck nearly lost all power, began to misfire and vibrate violently, and the check engine light began to flash intermittently. Upon reaching the top of the grade and the load on the engine reduced, the symptoms were reduced. The truck was again brought to the yucca yalley ford service center on saturday august 9, 2014 where it is currently awaiting diagnosis.
While driving down highway tried to accelerate to pass truck vehicle lost power and check engine light came on.pulled off road and shut the vehicle down and then restarted vehicle.later loss of power on any incline that i approached.
Following two heavily laden 18 wheelers during a light rain storm for two or more miles on a paved, two lane county road, it came clear for me to pass, i accelerated and all went well for just long enough for me toget even with the first one in front of me. My momentum carried me far enough to pull back in front of the first truck. By that time i was in serious trouble. My truck would barely run, it was vibrating violently and there was no acceleration to get me out of the way of the truck i had just passed. Had he not braked hard for me there could have been a serious wreck. I've have had 5 other incidents with this vehicle. I've taken it up with fomoco, over a period the first year. Working through the oklahoma bbb i was assured ford would correct the problem.fomoco sent a texas rep to my work location to put the most recent fix on the vehicle. Following this fix, we continued into a dry spell, but as fate would would have it, i was in a heavy rain within the next 2 weeks and the problem reappeared. This time my wife was in the vehicle with me. She thought i had run over something because the action of the pickup was so violent.i've occasionally seen letters to the editor of motor trend's "truck trend". Other people describing the exact thing i've experienced driving this same type vehicle (early model ecoboost v-6, those built prior to april 2011, i believe).i have a huge file from the time when i was trying very hard to get this corrected, dealerships, dates, times, correspondence, ford tech bulletins, but i refuse to waste my time with you unless you contact me acting as if something might seriously be done. ([xxx], or e-mail, [xxx]). I have enough to prove my vehicle has serious problems and fomoco admitted it. A transcript of my meeting with them through the oklahoma bbb. It's interesting what they had to say. [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
2011 ford f150 ecoboost - purchased july 2011. When accelerating to pass traffic or merge into traffic. The vehicle shudders and shakes violently losing all power, the check engine light flashes the goes to solid. This was taken back to ford dealership mechanics in florida and kansas 3 times now with no fix action in place. During a road trip in july 2013, (after a trip to ford) we couldn't use the cruise control due to traveling over hills would cause the vehicle to lose power constantly to the point where some hills were almost impossible to drive over, vehicles behind me were honking and complaining as it barely made it up hills.
Went on a 350 mile trip, i was at a stop light and when i went to accelerate the truck lost all power. I have one of the ecoboost engines. The engine did fix itself and i continued with no other problem, this is the first time i experienced this problem.2011 ford f150 king ranch.
As i was merging onto highway 694 north, i had to accelerate because of a semi approaching me from behind, i gave the truck full throttle but the truck started shaking and the engine felt like it quit or just had no power left. The truck struggled to reach 55mph, and within seconds i almost got rear-ended and almost ran off the highway, do to the fact that my truck had no power. After i merged onto the highway the truck shook violently for about 3 miles while my check engine light was flashing. During this time it felt as though my truck had lost 50% of its power.
While traveling down the road and the need to accelerate to pass a much slower vehicle my truck lost all power and began shuddering very bad. With oncoming traffic approaching quickly i had to step on the brakes rather hard and quick to avoid a accident. What would have possibly happened if i was towing a legal but heavy load?ford has a known problem with the coils on the ecoboost and this truly needs to be addressed. This is a extremely serious traffic safety when you loose all power and the severity of the shudder that also occurs.
I have had numerous instances of the engine of my f-150 eco -boost shutting down while driving. The engine will run fine for hours and then it will begin to sputter and crap out and die. The 1st time this happened i was traveling 65 miles on hour on the freeway when it just started crapping out like it was out of gas.it barely ran until i could get off the freeway.i have taken it to my local ford dealer 5 times for the same issue.i have had it stop running on at least 10 occasions.only 1 time did the dealer get a code which indicated the high pressure fuel pump was failing.replaced that.three days later the same thing happens again in the exact same way.it will run fine and then all of a sudden it decides that it wants to crap out and start sputtering.i was told by the dealer when this happens turn the engine off, take the key out of the ignition, wait a few minutes then put the key in the ignition and try to start.i have had to wait as long as a few minutes to over an hour for the computer to reboot and allow the truck to restart.this has happened in some very remote locations where it would have required that i hike as much as 20 miles to see a living soul again to find help.i believe that this is a very serious safety problem that will eventually lead in deaths if a recall is not performed to find the source of the problem.there are to many complaints on this site to ignore that it is not a problem although ford told me they did not have similar issues with any other trucks.now i see on this site that perhaps they are choosing ignorance over safety.
While attempting to pass a slower vehicle on a two lane road, my truck lost all power and the check engine light began blinking.i was in the on-coming travel lane adjacent to the vehicle i was passing when the incident occurred.the incident nearly caused an accident as the vehicle i was passing slowed down when i lost power an i was unable to immediately get over.i coasted with a rough running engine to the shoulder and shut off the engine.when i restarted it a few minutes later it ran a little rough and the check engine light remained on.research shows that this is a know issue for this make model with the ecoboost engine.the ford dealership, while having a tsb in place for the issue, did not notify me of the issue and will not cover the cost of the recommended service under either the power-train warranty or my ford extended warranty (bumper-to-bumper has expired).this is a huge safety issue and this should be a recall from ford to fix these issues and they apparently will not take the initiative to do so on their own. The incident occurred in southwestern missouri on a day in which it had been raining off and on.
Truck started to shake violently when accelerating. Felt as if the wheels were loose or the u joint for the drive shaft was going bad. Had to let off the gas. Has been ongoing from the time i purchased the vehicle to present time.
Vehicle stalls out like it is starving for fuel when you need to accelerate. It has stalled out when passing other vehicles and when entering heavy traffic on interstates. As of july 31, 2014, the truck has been back to the dealership at least 4 times for this problem.however, i continue to have the problem.
Returning home from a weekend camping trip with my family and pulling a travel trailer via i-81 in va, i depressed the accelerator approaching a long hill, and abruptly lost all engine and drive power, the engine shuddered violently, the transmission downshifted to lower gear and the check engine light flashed a few times.we had absolutely no power and i thought the engine was going to shut off.i was in the 2nd lane from the right and had to quickly move to the right lane then to the shoulder to avoid being hit from behind.this was very dangerous while pulling a 34' travel trailer.i had to pull the vehicle to the shoulder and stop completely to regain control.i had to put the truck in park and turn it off before it returned to somewhat normal drivability.while continuing to climb the uphill grade, the engine misfired and hesitated constantly.i could only apply gently pressure to the accelerator to keep the vehicle moving.once over the hill the vehicle picked up speed and returned to normal drivability for the remainder of the trip.the same exact problem occurred again a few months later while driving south on rt-4 in md with my wife, and not pulling a trailer.this time i didn't shut the engine off, but had to pull to the shoulder to regain control and engine power.as i continued on rt4 the engine misfired and hesitated several more miles.once at my destination i turned the vehicle off, then upon departure the vehicle operated more normal, but experienced misfire and hesitations several mile returning home.the next day the vehicle operated normally, but i took it to the ford dealership to have it repaired.this is a very unsafe situation and makes me very leary driving this vehicle on a normal basis.if i was accelerating while crossing the highway and this problem happened, there is a great chance of getting into an accident or causing one.
I was driving down my street and braked to pull into my driveway, after in my driveway i touched the accelerator (to get up the slight grade) and my truck went wide open throttle!! i mashed on the brake but the truck continued to accelerate uncontrollably and crashed into my brick home.even after impact and me continuing to apply full brake it was still wide open throttle and burning out.i finally came to my senses and shut the ignition off and the stopped it.i had the truck towed to my local dealer as recommended by ford customer care rep.the dealership ran a diagnostics check and found nothing as well as tried to get it to duplicate the problem with no luck.i had a state trooper certified in downloading event recorder data do such to my truck.the data shows exactly what happened..but does not differentiate between the accelerator being pushed vs.the accelerator position as indicated. However, it does show service brake applied and continual acceleration at the same time which i can prove was not done by me!i have pictures of abrasions to my right shin and knee from the steering column and dash..my right foot was fully applied on the brake pedal causing the abrasions at impact due to being directly in line with the steering column.my left leg had zero abrasions...since to the left of the steering column.if i was to be responsible for the data shown in the down load i would of had to have my left foot on the brake and thus sustaining abrasions to that leg.it is also impossible to use the right foot to brake and accelerate simultaneously to achieve the acceleration indicated...ones leg has to be cocked to the side and out of line of the steering column.everything on my pickup is oem....including the floor mats...which contrary to some beliefs that could be the cause.my truck has sat at the dealership untouched since they looked at it.
Towing a 9500# fifth wheel trailer on interstate complete loss of power shuddering and inability to accelerate.
While merging into traffic the engine began to loose power and misfire.the vehicle entered "limp home" mode, noted by a flashing check engine light. The vehicle was taken to the ford dealership and simply had the error codes cleared. Similar incident occurred few months later and the vehicle underwent recommended repair/upgrade per ford tsb including intercooler cover and reflash of computer. For past week vehicle has had persistent power loss and "shuttering" during acceleration. This not only limits the drivability of the vehicle,it also endangers the occupants when attempting to merge with traffic and crossing intersections. The dealership is aware of the problem,however there seems to be no effort to find a "complete and lasting" solution.
My family has purchased an new 2011 ford f150 truck and noticed a non-stop odor of gasoline in the cab of the truck. I first noticed the gasoline smell during a road trip from charlotte nc to michigan during the holidays in december 2011. The smell is still noticeable with the heat off with the vents closed. I googled the issue to see if other owners had the same problem with gas smell in the cab. These complaints appeared to be on older models (2007, etc.). I would like to obtain information if there is a recallin effect for this problem. Someone in the ford company has to be aware of the problem and it should be fixed!
Vehicle once when first bought shut down during rain conditions when trying to excel. It was like you ran into a wall. Ford then said it was a wiring harness problem. It continued missing at times over the last two years. The same thing happened again in december while trying to pass a vehicle and it was again during rain conditions and just shut down in the road. We took it into the dealership and theysaid it was tsb 13 8 1 and made repairs. Vehicle now does notrun right and gas mileage has dropped by at lest 2.5 mpg. Noticeable power loss. Vehicle is the ford 3.5 echo boost. This is a big problem for consumers who want a truck and expect power with good mpg but should not be afraid to drive or get a supposed fix that's not what you have purchased. These situations will result into some very bad accidents. I cant imagine pulling something and this happens. Bottom line consumers deserve safe reliable vehicles. We love fords and i hate i am having to complain but this is a real big problem. Please investigate. Thanks!!!!
While driving my f150, v6 ecoboost engine, down the interstate, when i try to accelerate,the truck to pass vehicles and or move out of the way of on coming traffic, the engine gives me nothing and shutters, feels like it is missing.i originally started to feel this in 2013, took it to the dealership, cause i thought it could be a transmission issue, and the service rep only asked if a light came on and if none has come on, probably won't show anything.i am outside of my warranty now and the truck is shuttering very badly when i try to accelerate anywhere, besides my gas mileage has dropped significantly, which now can become a epa issue.i have read about a lot of issues concerning this year ford with same engine with no outcomes.i have been told, once again that if i don't have a check engine light, then it probably wont show a code.i don't know where else to turn but to at least have a complaint filed where there is an issue with the 2011 ford f150 v-6 ecoboost engine.
I was merging into traffic after picking up my daughter from daycare. I pressed down on the accelerator firmly to gain speed to get into traffic. My truck stalled with a pinging noise coming from the engine and an uncharacteristic black smoke pouring out of the exhaust pipe. Oncoming traffic had to brake to avoid hitting my truck on my daughters side. The truck recovered but only gradually picked up speed with very little power. It was a low constant acceleration. This is the 4th time this has happened with my truck but this time it endangered my daughter so i feel that i need to speak out. This needs to be addressed before my 1.5 year old daughter or someone else gets hurt due to faulty equipment.
I have been having problems with engine noise ranging from a deep howling to a sound like a steel chain being drug over an aluminum ladder. I have had problems with the sync, memory seats and steering wheel, auto start, and an ongoing problem with hesitation or miss firing in the engine that cause the truck to loose power on acceleration and go into limp mode. I have had some really close calls getting onto the highway where i was almost hit from behind when the truck lost power. I have had the truck in the shop 13 times and getting ready to go back for the 14th time. I have tried the bbb and the lemon law program which i was denied by a third party arbitrator. I was expecting that because a bbb employee said 93% of all people that file a lemon law claim in missouri get denied. I have an extended warranty with 50,000 miles left on it and the ford engineer in charge of repairs says he refuses to do anything about the engine noise anymore because of the past failed repairs. This is an v6 ecoboost . I don't know what to do next.
Spring of 2012 acceleration failed when overtaking a slower vehicle. My speed was about 60 mph. This happened on more than one occasion.06/10/13. Vehicle engine began missing and vibrating when accelerating at any speed. I was driving about 45 mph.have sent the pickup to the dealer for inspection/repair.
Six months after i bought my truck i noticed a shuttering and hesitation while i was on the highway.the shuttering happens when i am cruising at 55-60 mph.more noticeably when the truck is climbing a slight incline on the road while lightly accelerating to maintain 60 mph.i had the dealer look at it 3 times in the last 2 years.the first time they reprogrammed the transmission and the computer.it did not solve the problem.brought it back the second time and i went for a ride with the technician and he noticed the shuttering.he said there was no engine light and no codes to find out what the problem is.finally the third time they said ford is aware of the problem and there engineers are trying to find a solution.i also had problems with my transmission.i was slowing down to come to a stop and the transmission downshifted so hard i thought i got rear ended by the vehicle behind me.
Vehicle began shuddering heavy between 40mph and 50mph. Requiring me to depress the gas pedal heavy to avoid the shuddering, its almost impossible to drive my vehicle at 45 mph (which is the speed limit in most of the area i drive in). This occurrence is when 5th gear changing to 6th gear, which is typical between 45 mph. Not sure what damage this is doing to my vehicle, let alone the safety risk this may be causing. I have had the vehicle in the dealership at lease 6 times for this issue and with no results of the issue being resolved. Just the run around and false promises. 2011 f150 5.0 motor and 3.55 gear ratio.
When i'm accelerating the engine stalls, i may be leaving a stop sign climbing over an overpass or passing another slower vehicle. Seems to happen more often about 40mph to 70mph.
Loss of significant power under slight to moderate acceleration, engine shutters violently, shakes and miss-fires. Check engine light flashes. Engine seems to run on 50% power loss, letting off accelerator for awhile then engine seems to recover temporarily until additional power is needed. Unable to have any confidence to pass any vehicles on grades. Quite possible for complete power loss under full acceleration as the engine misses so bad that it actually slows down and looses rpm's. I have owned this truck since new. Symptoms started in dry climate, no rain and have continued to get worse as i have entered into rainy areas with humidity.
While trying to pass a vehicleon the highway my truck started to sputter and loose power, the check engine light came on for a few seconds and went off. This problem is happening every day now under all conditions.there are numerous complaints on this problem and no real resolutions.
While driving at a constant speedyou could not increase in speed.the engine would only shutter until i stopped and restarted the engine.this happened a number of times, at three different time it put me in danger while in heavy traffic.it would not allow me to increase speed to get out of danger only come to a complete stop at the side offa busy interstate.i found a service bulletin from ford and they installed the new vain in theturbo.this helped the problem but it really hurt the fuel mileage after that.
New 2011 ecoboost v-6 f150 super-crew auto 6 speed transmissionwith the engine in manual shift 1st gear cold engine the accelerator sticks at what ever rpm's you are running and will start going faster without foot on pedal i have had to date 10 run aways and ford won't or can't fix it. The only way to stop it is to slam on the brakes and turn key off.....if your in traffic it could cause a serious accident. It also may cause serious damage to transmission and engine...
I was traveling on the interstate where i live and was trying to get up to speed to merge with traffic and when i accelerated my truck lost power and began to sputter and shake, and would not get up to speed, and the check engine light came on, when i took to the local dealer where i purchased it i was told number 2cylinder and number 4 cylinder was mis firing, that i needed new coil packs so i had them replaced and i am still having the same problem.
While braking to enter right hand turn in 2011 super crew fx2 f150 fuel sloshed causing engine to seize and power steering to shut off requiring hard break after loss of control of vehicle along with movement of the vehicle to level ground and restart of engine. Fuel level at time of incident was aprx 5.3 gallons or aprx 1/5 of a 26 gallon tank. First incident at 600 miles, multiple incidents at 1600 miles, 2100 miles, 2500, 2800, and 3000 miles. Incident also occurs while nose down on anything above a 0% gradient. Also causes loss of control of vehicle. Ford advises that this is a known safety concern but there is no correction, advise was to always keep fuel levels above quarter tank at all times per advise of regional ford service manager and town east ford service department. Advised that fuel level indicator can't be relied on below this level (quarter tank) also advised by ford that the safest level to maintain fuel level at was half tank. This failure does have the potential to and frequently does cause loss of control of vehicle. Ford also advises that this is an issue with all 2011 f150's and should be treated as normal. Additional information including photos, videos, and service records avail to nhtsa along with correspondence with ford engineering department and service.
2011 ford f150 equipped with 3.5l turbo charged engine traveling at 65 mph began misfiring and suddenly experienced a near total loss of power, causing the vehicle to slow to 25 mph quickly. The vehicle was traveling on a two lane highway with no shoulder and no place to pull off the road. This incident did not pose an immediate threat to car or driver, but under other conditions such as overtaking (passing) slower traffic, the sudden and near total loss of power could be disastrous. After quick research and consultation with the ford service center where i purchased the truck, i have learned the vehicle entered into "limp" mode to protect itself from mechanical damage. I have also found that this problem has long been acknowledged by ford motor company and has been the subject of a few technical service bulletins. Also to the best of my knowledge, ford, through this series of technical service bulletin's has failed to provide a permanent solution to this problem. I am filing this complaint in hopes that the nhtsa in cooperation with ford motor company can provide a quick and permanent solution to this problem before someone is seriously injured or worse due to an engineering flaw on a motor vehicle.
Ecoboost engine stutters when accelerating. Can not pass or continue driving.
Ford ecoboost.vehicle has few issues.first there is unexpected hesitation when pulling out in traffic.you are without power and subject to being run over.there are times when at highway speeds the engine goes limp when accelerating leaving you in traffic subject to being run over. Ford has replaced the cac and this has not happened since.when at speed and you accelerate a small amount, the engine will misfire and run rough. The lack of throttle response leaves you vulnerable when passing.been at the dealer 5 times for these problems.
Rapid acceleration while passing caused engine to cut out and shudder. The second time it happened in april 2013 i had to pull over and kill the engine so the computer could reset. Took vehicle to ford dealer for warranty repair, 2 months later the problem has re-occurred.
From a dead stop i accelerated to turn into her driveway the engine hesitated and stumbled it sounded like you had thrown a handful of marbles inside the intake the engine made a funny noise then died after getting it restarted the check engine light came on upon returning the vehicle to the dealership i found out it had melted the intake manifold sensors and part of the throttle body away ford has no idea what caused this the truck is also been plagued with electrical problems. Apparently it came real close to an engine fire the truck is still broke down at the dealership since august 5, 2011.
I have had the stall and/or shudder problem several times. By far the worst is the date and items listed in the incident information.while attempting to pass another vehicle on a two lane highway, after driving in a steady downpour for at least an hour, my ecoboost f150 fell flat on its face. No acceleration at all. It just stalled and the check engine light came on. I let off the accelerator and tried again with no reaction from the motor. I then feathered the throttle and was able to get around the other vehicle. The truck would run as long as i didn't try to accelerate quickly. Luckily there were no oncoming vehicles in the other lane. With dryer weather the problem disappeared. Since that time i have had it shudder a few times when trying to accelerate. Mostly in damp or humid conditions.
I was attempting to accelerate hard to merge into traffic onto interstate highway.when i pushed pedal to floor, the vehicle immediately slowed as if a governor had kicked in.fortunately, i had room on shoulder to not get hit, but had to wait and pump pedal twice before it began to accelerate again.i have not tried to replicate the problem. I had an identical problem 3 years ago in another ecoboost ford f150 that nearly killed me.i attempted to pass another vehicle and realized that i needed hard acceleration and the vehicle immediately slowed.there was no where to go, but fortunately my fellow motorists realized i had a problem and let me back into my lane without a multi-vehicle crash.i asked my dealer about that then, and was told that never had been reported.i immediately traded that truck for the one i have now that day.
My name is [xxx], i own a 2011 f150 ecoboost.over the past 4 years i have encountered and same issue with the engine misfiring due to moisture getting in the intake.everyone dealership personal i've spoken with has confirmed that it's a known issue with that year and model and there is no permanent fix.however when the engine continuously misfires it calls for service on the truck and replacement of certain parts.i am filling this complaint because i do not believe this right that ford should be allowed to ignore a known issue that has almost gotten myself and family into a serious accident on the highway.as well cost me money out of pocket to correct.i would like to see someone hold ford accountable before this issue gets someone killed.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
2011 f150 ecoboost at 57k miles mid july 2013 experienced violent shuddering lose of power pulling up hill at 60 mph. Engine light came on. Taken to dealership where repair was listed as #2 coil pack costed $277.now jan 2014 six months and 13k miles later same event. Check engine light came on twice while driving to work. Used on board diagnosic tool i had purchased and truck coded p0303 as #3 cylinder misfire obviously the #3 coil pack has gone bad at 70k miles.
Vehicle bogs while moderately accelerating onto the interstate while pulling a trailer with a load under 3,000 pounds. It seems as if the engine is stuck on the rev limiter. There is minimal power available and it is very dangerous. I did not buy a powerful truck in order to experience this.
I am glad that we were not in a situation that we could have gotten killed because of the throttle problem.the first time we were driving down the road at 45 mph suddenly the accelerator would not respond, the engine was still running at a rough idle. We had to coast to the shoulder. Stopped turned off the truck, it was able to restart and the accelerator was working again. We drove to the local ford dealer. At the ford dealer they could not identify the problem. The second time this happened was when we were going 55 mph. Coasted to shoulder of the road and i was able to restart the truck and drove very carefully to the ford dealer. This time they were able to get a code reading of the problem. The code called for a recalibration. This was done. Drove the truck home thinking that it was repaired. The third time this happened was on the interstate traveling 75mph. Luckily we were in the right lane and was able to coast to the shoulder. Repeated same procedure as above. Returned to the ford dealer. This time they read the code(p2112) and replaced the throttle body and motor assembly. This problem with the throttle could have very easily caused a deadly crash. I feel that my wife and are very lucky as we could have been in a very serious accident.
Upon trying to pass a truck, when i stepped on the gas for added power, the engine convulsed and shook the entire truck, lost power, engine light flickered... I pulled over immediately, called the ford dealership, they did a check through on star (type system).said they saw nothing?!started back up, seemed to be fine once again.this has happened now multiple times.always when stepping on the gas for added power, same scenario.this is the eco boost engine.while i love the power, it has failed me 5 times to date.same problem as the pe 13-018 report.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that fuel fumes emitted into the vehicle. After inspecting the vehicle, the contact found a leak and noticed fuel spewing out of the catalytic converter. The dealer was contacted and made the contact aware that the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 23,000.
Upon downshift during acceleration, the truck shudders, misfires, backfires through exhaust system, and loses power while creating a violent shake in the drivetrain. This occurs in below 35 dry or wet weather. This issue destroyed my catalytic converters, as well as broke loose the baffles in factory mufflercausing over $2,000 in repairs for exhaust. I further replaced plugs, and plug boots. The vehicle continues to have this severe issue, and the only way to keep from further damaging the vehicle is to pull off the road, and idle as well as rev engine for several minutes. It is extremely unsafe, and nearly caused other vehicles to rear ended me on at least 5 occasions. All of which i had to jump onto shoulder of road or in median to keep from getting hit. My research shows that this is a common problem amongst owners of this vehicle. I currently owe $22,000 on this vehicle, and am quite frustrated with the lack of a recall from ford. Solutions of a walker cac are known; however, ford is not willing to even consider paying for this fix. Please help in the resolving of this issue?
My ford f150 eco boostlost power suddenly while trying to enter a rural route at a stop sign.while trying to accelerateit just died for several seconds and then took off since i was pushing on the accelerator wondering what had just happened .the vehicle has been shuddering a lot on acceleration now with asubstantialloss of fuel economy . I have personally had it at two ford dealership which say they can find no problem with it , but shop foreman told me and my wife we where stuck with it and to fix it by pulling the battery cable off every once in awhile.
I purchased my 2011 f150 ecoboost in used condition in 2014.the primary use for my truck is around town errands and hauling light loads.for sometime now i have had issues, like many others have complained as well, during acceleration at 45+mph the engine loses it's power, shudders and stalls.once there is a reduction in the amount of throttle, it takes a few minutes to regain "normal" driving conditions.for example, my family and i were coming home from florida on the parkway, in july and with no abnormal weather conditions, and as i was ascending a grade about 75 miles per hour and a semi truck behind me, i gave the truck more throttle and it began to shudder violently, a subtle backfire, and lost power and could not regain throttle response.i quickly moved the truck into the emergency lane and had let the truck return to a normal idle, took a few minutes, before almost getting into a serious collision with the semi-truck.over the past years i have just dealt with the issue and have taken it to mechanics and scanned the truck with no error codes or issues, until just recently.the mechanic scanned it and it showed misfires on #4 and #6.he replaced the coil and plug hoping that would be the cure, but with no luck it did not solve the issue.i'm reluctant to drop another $250.00 to replace the rest of the coils, but i don't know what else to do.i do not have disposable income and the truck is paid for, i and can't afford to get another vehicle.i enjoy my f150 and plan on keeping it until the wheels fall off.i have read post after post and video's that there are many people experiencing the same issues, but it seems no one is willing to step forward and make the complaint.i want this issue addressed and i hope ford will resolve the issue before someone is seriously injured or a life is taken over this problem.
Wrench light came on and truck lost all power with no warning. I shut it off and restarted it pressed the throttle down and had no throttle response. Shut it off again and restarted it and immediately mashed the throttle..made it to a garage..turned it off..when i turned it back on no wrench light and or ran fine. The mechanic found no codes but i told him to replace throttle body and position sensor..he did..on the way home same thing happened..took it to local ford dealer. They did diagnostic and found no problems..there is a problem and a very dangerous one
Driving down a two lane road in the early evening, i was 3 or 4 cars back in a long line of over a dozen vehicles. We were all stuck behind one slow moving vehicle. A chance came up to pass and i pulled into the other lane. After stepping on the throttle the truck developed a misfire. It lost nearly all power and began decelerating. In the time since pulling out to pass, a semi truck had popped up over an upcoming hill. By this point, the vehicles previously behind me had moved forward and filled in my place in line. I began evaluating my options. I was now moving slower than the traffic in the right lane, but there weren't any openings to move back over. I examined the shoulder on the left side of the road looking for safe places to pull over. There were none in the immediate vicinity. After several very tense seconds, the vehicle suddenly regained power. I had just enough time to accelerate to an opening in the right lane and get back over. Likely cause: condensation in the charge air cooler ingested into the engine upon a call for power. Since the first incident this has occurred several more times. Every single time has been after cruising for some period at less than half throttle, followed by a sudden acceleration in humid or rainy conditions. Ford claims to be aware of the problem and working on a fix. However after waiting for over 8 months since my first incident i'm starting to have my doubts. I have heard reports from numerous other people saying this exact same thing has happened to them. Some of those are over a year old and are still waiting on a fix from ford. Being aware of this problem i try not to put myself into a situation that will require the sudden application of power. However i know no matter how well you plan, eventually you find yourself in a bad situation. I just hope when that occurs it isn't a humid or rainy day.
While driving down the highway about 55 mph the vehicle will down shift and the odometer will die and drop to zero, most of the indicators will have dashes instead of numbers.the truck will automatically slow down causing me to have to pull off the road to avoid an accident.i then have to turn the vehicle off and remove the key from ignition and restart the vehicle up again to reset all the gauges.this normally happens within the first 10 miles of driving the vehicle.this would only happen on a few occasions now it is happening more frequently.there was a recall issued around the 1st of july 2016 but i was told the software fix would not be ready until the 3 quarter of the year.ford now wants to charge me $131.00 to diagnose the problem.i should not have to pay for it to be diagnosed if they already have a recall.i wonder how many lives will be in danger until the 3rd quarter update is available.
Under hard acceleration on the highway, the engine began to cut out and misfire, then the check engine light began to flash. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they said the innercooler had failed and needed to be replaced. Now, at roughly 55,000 miles it has begun to do it again, i had noticed it some before, but now it is worse. I took my 2011 f150 with the ecoboost to the dealership again and they said a tsb had been written and they changed the replaced the lower air deflector. This actually made the problem worse. At wide open throttle from a stop to about 80 mph, every gear will cut out and sometimes put the engine into a protection mode beginning around 4,000 rpm. If it shakes and shudders made enough the check engine light will flash, and now it has come on and stayed on. It has been very dangerous if i pull out to make a pass and then the engine shuts down and i can no longer accelerate. This has happened dozens of times, and has been addressed twice now by the dealership without any fix.
Traveling on 4 lane highway during period of train, accelerated to pass vehicles, my truck eco-boost motor acceleration stagnated and vehicle began to shutter, was unable to pass, decelerated and stagnation stopped. Incident occurred when ever i tried to accelerated during active rain during a 9 hour interstate trip.
My truck is equipped with the ecoboost 3.5l engine.twice now i have attempted to accelerate and had the truck lose power and shake violently, creating a very dangerous situation.the first time was attempting to pass another vehicle. Weather conditions were warm (75 degrees f) with light rain.i pulled out to pass and attempted to accelerate when the truck suddenly acted as if the gas was shut off.it then began to shake and shudder violently as if the rear axel was being ripped from beneath it.i was able to fall back behind the vehicle i was attempting to pass, out of the way of oncoming traffic, and pull to the side of the road.after shutting off and restarting the truck, it seemed to run normal.the dealership service tech inspected the truck and stated it is a problem ford is aware of (in wet conditions), but has no fixes.the second time i was attempting to enter the interstate from a rest stop into a single lane construction zone.the weather was cool (45 degrees f), dry and sunny.i attempted to accelerate to enter the highway and the truck acted as it did on the first instance.i was forced to pull off of the lane between two large construction pylons in order to avoid being struck by a tractor/trailer.the supplied dates, mileage and speed were from the most recent incident.
While towing my camper at 60 mph up an incline my 5.0l f150 began to lose power, as i increased pressure on the accelerator the power to the vehicle decreased even more.the service engine light came on and i limped up the hill at a whopping 20mph on the interstate.once on the downgrade the vehicle came back up to speed and the service engine light went off.the truck continued to have power issues and a knocking from the motor when i was climbing hills.i took the vehicle to the ford garage and they told me there were no codes to tell them what was wrong.the vehicle still has the apparent miss and knocking sound at certain rpm's and now has an issue starting for the first time of the day.i again took it to the ford garage when the starting issue was happening and they told me again that the vehicle still had no codes to explain this problem.i tried all of the easy fixes but the vehicle still has the same starting and power loss issues and ford can not tell me what is going on with my vehicle.my best guess is a catalytic converter issue, but i can do nothing about it until i know for sure.
Vehicle shut off going up hill weather cold and damptook truck to dealer on 5/20/13 found nothing wrong . On 5/25/13 vehicle shut off 11 times while accelerating.drove vehicle on mon may 27 shut off 9 times and we were nearly run over by semi on interstate. Engine light came onon tuesday may 28 drove to dealerwith vehicle shutting off over 10 times. Vehicle is a liability as well as a safety hazard for driver as well as other drivers.
Engine, the turbocharged v-6 ecoboost,stalled out(tried to die and shook and and shuddered like nothing i have ever experienced in 50 years of driving) when attempting to pass a truck on the interstate and again when pulling away from an exit stop sign after traveling in cold rain.glad i was on a freeway vice two lane road. Takes about 15 to 20 seconds for the engine to get power back. Also it did the same thing 3 weeks earlier, on same cross country trip, in northern idaho when i attempted to accelerate to freeway speed after driving in wet snow for about 1/2 hour. Really felt unsafe. I reported it to ford. They acknowledged there is a problem but they have not done anything to fix my truck after i reported the near disastrous drivability issue - like can't be trusted to adequately perform in rain and i live in the pacific northwest.
Fuel filler no longer closes. Will not keep dust water and debris out. Broken hinge. Was told at dealership it is common on the capless fuel filler models.
Engine misses at times of hard acceleration. Engine ecoboost.
Truck will have severe intermittent stumble/misfiring on acceleration from 45mph+ in humid, wet or damp conditions.the vehicle shudders violently, bogs down, and check engine light flashes eventually becoming a solid engine light.this involves the engine shuddering when there is acceleration at highway speeds; this is very dangerous when trying to pass vehicles at highway speeds. Have my spark plugs and coils replaced after the following happened in damp and wet weather conditions.make years seem to involve 2011-14 ecoboost trucks.from thousands of ford forum posts, the trucks have an intercooler condensation problem that is causing poor performance and spark plugs/coils to fail early.water and oil vapor/residue condensation is being sucked into the engine.people have had to take it upon themselves to find a solution by drilling a 1/16' hole in the low point of the intercooler driver's side to drain oil/water condensation/residue or install a $400-$500 oil catch can separator which ford should be offering to owners with this problem.ford should own this problem and issue an appropriate fix like the oil catch can installation or confirm with its owners that it is ok to drill a weep hole in the intercooler.not the cheap fixes i have seen like tsb 13-8-1.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 50 mph, the steering wheel seized and the power steering warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle then lost power. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump relay box failed and caused the fuel pump to burn. The mechanic stated that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact called cavalier ford lincoln greenbrier (1515 s military hwy, chesapeake, va 23320, phone: 757) 424-1111) and was informed that he would be responsible for the diagnostic and repair fees. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that they knew about the failure and, in order for the vehicle to be repaired, there would be a fee. The approximate failure mileage was 78,000. The vin was not available.
Vehicle lost acceleration when trying to pass. Engine light came on and engine started to shake. I had to turn vehicle off and restart. This now occurs anytime i attempt to accelerate...
This is a ecoboost engine.when i go to pass someone the engine starts sputtering as if it is going to cut off.loses power and is very dangerous.i noticed where this was under investigation but that has been dropped.someone is going to be killed.this happens to me frequently.seems like it happens in damp or humid weather.in most cases if it is a gradul acceleration it doesn't happen.i have owned the truck for the last 25000 miles and it has done it most of that time.i noticed that this problem was under investigation so i haven't taken it in hoping you would issue a recall.don't wait until it is too late.
The ecoboost engine ford introduced into the f150 (and other vehicles) in 2011 seems to be having common and widespread problems, including my vehicle. I first reported this issue to the dealer with about 30,000 miles and now again at 63,000 miles. The safety issue is revealed under any acceleration "event" such as highway merging, passing, towing etc.under acceleration the vehicle "chokes" and will not accelerate as the driver & passengers experience the vehicle stalling, shuddering or bucking. This is often described as the vehicle going into "limp mode" operating on fewer than all cylinders. The problems appear to stem from dysfunctional intercooler operation on this twin turbo engine. There are two different scenarios described in f150 blogs. One, most common, is that the cooling of the air via the intercooler causes condensation to accumulate inside the air intake. When the driver accelerates, the increase in air volume draws the moisture into the fuel delivery system and causes the engine to misfire, which the driver experiences as an engine stall, bucking or shuddering. The second scenario reported is that there is an overheating of air into the fuel deliver system which causes early detonation of the fuel mixture in the cylinders causing roughly the same symptoms. My vehicle repairs are costing me almost $700.00 - which would be more if i did not have an extended warranty. The dealer is replacing 6 spark plugs, 4 coil boots that have overheated and cracked, installing a new intercooler shield - none of which they are standing by as a dealer covered expense. Ford needs to be held accountable for this defective design for both consumer safety and financial reasons. Someone may be killed trying to pass or enter a highway as their vehicle suddenly looses power.
Same as previously reported by many others:misfire upon acceleration up a hill;reported to dealer who found no error codes.happened again soon after, this time activating engine warning light.dealer replaced cylinder coil; next day, same type of misfire occurrence.very unsafe situation, costing me lots of time and money.in addition, this eccoboost, as i have reported to ford since it was new, has never achieved even close to rated mpg, only averaging 14 mpg or 40% less than advertised.vehicle now back at livermore ford, where technician was asked by service dept to drive unit home hooked into computer to see if problem can be diagnosed. This is an unacceptable and unsafe situation.not happy.
The ecoboost version that i own has an apparently "known" problem within ford where condensation builds up because of the turbocharger intercooler to the point that when you need to accelerate heavily to avoid a problem, to pass someone, or simply to get on a busy street or freeway, the truck sucks all that water into the engine and it completely misfires similar to just running out of gas.when this happens it can easily cause and almost has caused an accident.this happened first at about 700 miles and has happened numerous times since especially in high humidity.i keep hearing about "some fix is being considered by ford engineering" and that the problem is in the ford oasis problem reporting system number [xxx] i believe but 7 months later i am still waiting for ford to step up.this problem can and i expect will get people killed and that's just sad.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owned a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle hesitated to accelerate. The failure recurred intermittently at different speeds. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnosis three different times. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure. Additionally, the contact stated that the fuel gauge would not display accurate fuel readings. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The fuel sensor was replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 4,000.
Under hard acceleration into traffic or when passing, vehicle will suddenly lose power and go into a "limp mode." this condition is thought to occur because of engine misfire and several factors have been identified that can cause this in the ecoboost 3.5l v6.the dealer has replaced ignition coils with no success in correcting this issue.my service manager shared with me that ford engineering is well aware of the issue and has yet to come up with a solution to correct it.in the meantime, my family is placed at risk of an accident because there is no way to predict when the engine will suddenly lose power when you need it most for passing or merging situations.this becomes even worse when pulling a trailer.nhtsa should demand that ford immediately recall and repair these vehicles, or replace them until an appropriate solution is found to remedy the misfire condition and resultant lost of power.
Since i've owned this vehicle new, i've had a number of problems related to acceleration. Vehicle would almost stall on hard acceleration when getting on the freeway. Dealer replaced spark plugs & boots, but condition was not completely resolved. Vehicle would still on occasion repeat the same problem. More recently when driving yesterday, the engine light started blinking, then became steady. Of greater concerned i got an engine light & poor acceleration. Took the vehicle to the dealer & dealer is telling me that the timing belt needs to be replaced at a cost of $2000+. Vehicle had just turned 61000 miles. Dealer service agent tells me its not uncommon and could be caused by not getting the oil changed at recommended intervals. Vehicle has had regular oil changes at the dealer & other service facilities. Never heard of this & i think it's premature for a vehicle with 61000 miles to need the timing belt replaced. Never had this happen in 45+ years of driving.
Upon hard acceleration, while trying to pass a vehicle, the vehicle shudders, shakes and stalls. The mph goes down and down even if pressing the gas pedal. I must pull over, put the truck in park and turn off the truck. Avoiding a head on collision is difficult when this happens. After restarting the truck, the engine light then comes on. This has happened on four different occasions.the gas mileage is now inaccurate and it appears that the "miles to empty" does not match the miles driven.rivertown ford (columbus, ga) claims to have no knowledge of this type of situation.spark plugs & boots were said to be the cause the first time on 6/2/18. The 2nd time 12/12/18, the "intercooler shield was installed & pcm reprogrammed" -- i was promised this was the 100% fix. As of 2/28/20, rivertown advises their fix is out of warranty and now requires $650 for "engine tear down required to determine point of failure".
Truck has a 36 gallon gas tank. Fuel gauge does not go to full when filled. While driving fuel gauge goes to empty and message center comes on low fuel 10 miles to empty. Tank still has 20 gallons or more in tank. When filling with gas after this happens there is a high pressure release of gas fumes from the filler neck when pump nozzle is placed in the neck. An audible whoosh sound is made and the build up of gas fumes is consistent with every time the gauge and message center think the tank is empty. When starting the truck after this occurrence it takes 2-3 tries before the engine will start. The engine malfunction indicator lamp will come on for 3-20 minutes before going off. The ford vehicle health report reads "engine, transmission, amp; emissions. The truck has been serviced 8 times with no corrective results. My major concern is the build up of fumes and the possibility of fire. It appears that ford has known of this problem with trucks having 36 gallon tanks since 2008 based on comments from other owners when i googled my problem. To this date ford does not appear to have a solution to the problem.
Yesterday i went to pass a truck that made an illegal turn, and had to hit the gas hard to get out of the way, only did it for about 2 seconds, than when i let off the gas, the engine kept running at high speed for about another 3 seconds? and my foot was not on the pedal at that time.
An example of what happens is this:traveling along at 45mph, and pull out to overtake a slower vehicle, you accelerate aggressively. Upon doing this, the truck seems to stumble like it's hunting for the appropriate gear (@ about 45- 50mph).also, it feels like an engine mis-fire. It's a disconcerting feeling that the truck does not accelerate as it should when you need it the most.
Thousands of ford f150 owners (20011-2015) bave experiencing with ecoboost engines mostly with my most recent issue "timing chain stretching chain"and faulty cam phasers,i believe we deserve to at least get our vehicles fix.i struggle paying my truck and i cant pay 4000 dlls to fix this issue that i strongly believe is a ford's negligence.please help usmy name is [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
There is a recall on the 2011 ford f150.however,my vin is not the one affected.even though it is the same transmission and year.i am having the exact same issue being described in the recall and on the forums.i drove the car after it was left for 36 hours and it downshifted after going 25 mph.i coasted back into a parking lot and turned off car and restarted, with the same issue.it eventually gave me a maint error (yellow wrench)i had to have it towed home.after it was shut off overnight if was fine the next day and no error code. I had a mechanic put a scanner on the truck and he could not pull the error code.i have used it sparingly for 3 days without an issue.i am just worried, it will happen again at any time or cause an accident with someone plowing into me when it downshifts.this could be a major problem if i am on a highway and it happens. I called ford corp and they said since i am not on the recall per my vin (even though it is the same year 2011 and transmission) so i am on my own.i have it documented with ford and the dealer. Now what, just wait?nhtsa vehicle safety recallsrecall number16v248000recall date04/27/2016componentpower train:automatic transmissionsummaryford motor company (ford) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 ford f-150 trucks manufactured august 19, 2011, to march 9, 2012, 2012 ford expedition, lincoln navigator vehicles manufactured august 19, 2011, to december 19, 2011, and 2012 ford mustang vehicles manufactured august 19, 2011, to february 21, 2012.

The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150.the contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, the steering wheel was hard to turn and a warning displayed on the panel that read 'service advance trap".the vehicle was taken to the dealer.the technician was not able to diagnose the failure.in addition, the contact stated that when attempting to pass another vehicle, the accelerator pedal was activated and there was loss of acceleration as the check engine light flashed on and off.the failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 57,000.
We were merging onto the highway outside of st. Louis mo and when the accelerator was fully depressed the engine started to misfire and power was reduced.a blinking cel was displaying on the dashboard.it seemed as though the turbo system was not adding any extra charge to the ambient air.there was a pronounced vibration to the vehicle that seemed to originate from the engine/drive train.luckily there as not a lot of traffic at the time and our poor acceleration did not result in an accident.my solution was to manually select the gears and drive at much higher rpm.this smoothed the misfire and we had an adequate amount of power to keep up with traffic.after about 10 minutes everything smoothed out and the misfire was gone.truck behavior returned to normal.the weather that day was a pleasant 60 degrees and sunny.the previous day we drove from central ohio to st. Louis through much rain and fog.since we were on vacation and away from home we did not take the truck to a dealer to be serviced.the problem has not occurred since then.there was one previous occurrence at a previous date.i don't know exactly when it was.we were traveling home to vt from ohio.we had been driving for many hours, mostly on highway/cruise control driving.we had just gotten off the interstate highway and were on state highway.i went to pass a slower vehicle in my lane and upon depressing the accelerator the engine seemed to misfire (rpm went up but power delivery fell flat).i stepped off the gas pedal and slowly pressed a second time and this time the truck responded as expected.there was no cel this time.each of these incidents occurred with my entire family in the vehicle.we were not very happy about it and did not feel safe at the time.
When driving the truck (what seemed like) shifted hard then the wrench sign came up on the screen and throttle would not work. I was doing 50 mph at the time and had to hit the hazards and pull over. Once i turned off the engine and turned it back on it seemed ok, pulled the code p2112 throttle body. Looked online and many , many people have the same issue. Can't believe this isn't a recall seeing how dangerous this is.
I was recently driving on a congested interstate highway at approximately 65 mph when the engine lost power and would not accelerate, the vehicle lost speed rapidly causing a dangerous situation while trying to exit the highway. The system went into "safe mode, also known as limp home." this malfunction (ford code p2112)has happened numerous times over the life of the truck.
On friday 4/12/2013 i was in a very dangerous situation. I was driving my 2011 ford f-150 home from a night out with the family. It was kind of late, when i ran over an exhaust pipe, which was laying on the road. I did not see it. It was a fairly small pipe.once i stopped i realized that it put a hole in my fuel tank. And it was gushing out fuel. It was coming out faster than water from a kitchen tap. Luckily i was only two blocks from home, right across the street from a fire station. I was able to get my truck home, once the fuel was out of the tank. There was a split in the tank about 6 inches long, like it had been cut with a very sharp knife.this is a plastic fuel tank. When i look up fuel tank part number 9l3z-9002-b on ford parts dot com for my truck they also show a skid plate number 9a147. My truck does not have this part.the fuel tank is an obsolete part there are only 4 in the nation available. I am looking. Not having this part is a safety issue.
Driving on new years day, i was traveling and needed to accelerate onto an expressway.as i pressed on the throttle pedal my ford f150 2011 seemed to lose power for a second or two before regaining power again.this was the first time i can recall, but it happens each time i press the throttle all the way down for acceleration. I have learned thatmy f150 is not reliable enough to attempt to pull out unless traffic is completely cleared, or i have several car lengths of distance.
On certain days, usually humid days, when you approach a hill and give it gas, a wrench appears on the display and the truck goes into limp mode. It may go for weeks without doing this, but when it happens, you may get killed. Especially, if you are on a highway. You have no power to move the truck. You are a sitting duck. I took in to a service station and the cleaned the throttle body, but it still happens. If you drive slowly without changing accelerator position the truck will drive but too slowly. It happens far too much.
I was driving at highway speeds (70+ mph) on a mountain road going uphill in heavy traffic when the truck completely shut down. The trucks' power steering, braking, and maneuverability became extremely challenging as i tried to pull it to safety. However, with it being on a mountain road there was very little shoulder and part of my truck ended up blocking traffic since the truck was unresponsive. Major safety hazard! the faulty component that caused this situation is the fuel pump fuse overheated causing no fuel delivery to my vehicle. I later learned through some research that ford motor co. Had issued, without alerting the public, a tsb (15-0137) regarding the fuel pump fuse. I had no idea since there was no recall issued. If i had known, this very dangerous situation could have been avoided!!!
I have several occasion for the past couple of years of my f150 not starting when turning the key on. I have taken it to the ford dealership several times but they couldn't determine the problem. I've had several occasion of the low oil pressure light turn on and the vehicle has stalled. Just recently i was making a right turn and at a small angle and the truck completely stalled out while driving. I had to coast to a stop without any power steering until it finally stopped. I tried to crank it over but it wouldn't start. After about 5 minutes it finally started without issue. I've had it stall twice while i lost total control of my truck and it is extremely dangerous. I had to tow it to my dealership again today. I think i may have finally found the issue which may point to a faulty 20amp fuel pump fuse. I found some articles pointing to fuse 27 and sure enough it was burnt on one side. I am completely shocked that ford is aware of this issue and not issuing a mandatory recall until all these trucks are fixed. Had this been on the freeway it could have been a complete failure of the vehicle which may have caused a serious or life threatening accident. Please force a recall.
Fault log code p0234, turbo noise hissing, cutting out. Loss of power. Poor acceleration. Coolant leeks, oil leeks. Returned to corning ford for more service work. Original service october 11 / 2015.second service december 28 / 2015coolant leek, turbo hissing, cutting out hissing when under acceleration. Condition when in motion on city street and highway driving.
At about 30 mph while accelerating the engine will cut out and lose power.it will chug, cutting in and out for a few seconds before picking up.this also happens randomly when going up an incline.we have been put in a few dangerous situations by this before but thankfully nothing serious has happened. Took it to ford dealer where we bought it and they told us nothing was wrong.we took it back 2 more times and still was told there is nothing wrong.i called today to get the truck back in and they say there is no record of us taking the truck in the previous 3 times.
This is the second time i have had this issue with this truck, while merging on a highway, my truck loses all power and starts shaking rapidly, once again i was almost involved in an auto accident because i could not merge. When i initially had this issue 50 thousand miles ago, i brought my truck to auto-nation ford in white bear lake minnesota, they said it was an issue of spark plugs, wires and coil packs, ford also said the issue was the inter-cooler. Ford fixed all of those issues roughly 50 thousand miles ago, but here we are, my truck is at 100,xxx miles and this issue happened again! this is a serious safety issue, i have now been run off the road twice and almost crashed into a lake! when my truck loses all power and starts shaking rapidly, i lose control of the half ton truck. I contacted my local ford dealership, (auto-nation ford) in white bear lake, where i bought the truck and they would like me to pay in full for all of theseissues, which ford clearly knows about. I know for a fact i am never buying a ford again, my safety and the safety of my family has now been compromised on multiple occasions and ford has not once taking responsibility or offered to fix the issue. I am very disgusted with the way ford has been handling these safety issues. When you buy a brand new truck and things like this happen, the company should take care of you, but once again, ford has proved that they do not care about their customers.
There is a problem with the engine misfiring at moderate to hard acceleration.this really bothers me.as i have talked with ford mechanics i have been told that ford has no fix for this problem.from what i have read and studied, this is a problem with condensation in the intercooler making its way to he injectors.once you put your foot on the gas pedal to accelerate you experience a sometimes violent stutter and the vehicle not accelerating but instead sounding like it's going to explode.i have also heard this happens when its humid outside.regardless, one day i'm going to need to accelerate away or from something and the truck is going to fail, causing me to get hit or killed. I have found fixes to the problems including a full race intercooler, plugs and wires, however i don't think i should have to spend over $1000 for something ford released knowing it wasn't ready, or up to par.i've owned my vehicle for over a year now and its 0% better even using top octane fuel.please help...
When the turbo boost is 11psi misfiring begins - no after market engine programming. If turbo demand is not reduced, or is increased the engine light will come on and the transmission will be disengaged - 'limp mode.'on the date cited, this happened no less that 3 times. Local humidity was 50-70%, as i recall, and there was no rain. I have experienced this multiple times with local humidity noted at 50 %. My experience is that the misfiring will occur anytime turbo psi exceeds 11, whether towing or not, though towing will be more apt to encounter 11psi. My trailer is within all tow load limits for my truck, axles and tongue, per ford's rv & trailer towing guide.my first experience with the truck going limp was june of 2014. I pulled the truck to the shoulder next to a guard rail and called for towing. The local ford dealer said that there had been a #3 cylinder misfire and a momentary head over-temp was - which triggered limp mode.i have reported the misfiring to my dealer, and with ford's customer service. The dealer says ford has nothing listed for my truck or the issue. I told customer service and my dealer that there is plenty of internet traffic on this issue. Aside from the technical service bulletin implemented to put a larger air shield on the intercooler (cac), done to my truck in 2014 as a result of my experience, the issue still exists.it would seem to me that ford has not engineered a water separator to then drain off developed water from the condensation process before it is ingested into the cylinders. Ingestion of the water into the cylinders would cause a spark misfire, as was suggested to me by a ford mechanic.my vehicle is still under a ford issued extended warranty, as a result of a separate transmission issue. God forbid this occur while to someone towing on a two lane road with no shoulder!
Vehicle runs rough and throws a check engine light. When the engine is warm it runs smoother. After trouble shooting possible problems, it was determined to probably be a sticky valve. It is my understanding, there was a recall on this particular issue. I want to know if this truck was serviced and the issue corrected while owned by the original owner. If yes, it is broken again.
One of the back bolts broke off of the right side of the exhaust manifold while driving. . this caused the gasket to fail which in turn made a loud noise. Because this is a turbo charged engine the motor lost power. Took truck to the dealer where they had to replace the entire exhaust manifold, gasket and broken bolts.total repairs were $1214.02
I have a 2011 ford f-150 4x2 platinum 4 door pick, equipped with a 5.0 litre v-8engine, which had 51881 miles when my problem occurred.we were in cameron, arizona, on our way to the east rim of the grand canyon.turned off the truck, used their facilities, went back to truck, it cranked, but would not start, even after repeated attempts.let set for one hour, still would not start.called tow truck, which had to come from flagstaff.dropped off at ford dealer, as it is still under warranty.went to the dealership the following morning, explained the problem, they told me that they had along list of vehicles to work on.i then tried to start the vehicle, it did start, picked my wife and belongings from the hotel, and drove, non-stop to el centro (350 miles). Took to dealer.it started again for them. Go figure!later that afternoon, it would not start for them.they then called ford motor company, who told them what to look for, tsb 15-0137.they told me that this was a temporary repair, and that they would order a new fuse block, as fuse number 27 had melted the connections in the box, thus making it impossible to have a proper connection.the general manager told me about a personal friend of his who had this happen to his almost new truck, and he got rid of the truck.i cannot afford to do that.it has been since november 9, 2015 when this occurred, and now the agency, el centro motors 1520 ford drive el centro, ca. 92243 (760) 336-2100 is telling me that repair tsb 15-0137 is a permanent repair, and that ford motor company will not replace the fuse block and has no improvement fuse block available, and that the fuse blocks are not available, as there is a 120 day waiting period to obtain them.
Had a car pull into my lane, tried to accelerate to move over with out causing a dangerousness situation of a car coming up in the lane i needed to be in to avoid the idiot moving into my lane but car lost power. Thankfully the car in the next lane over saw the issues with the car moving over into me and gave me room, i'm sure they didn't expect my car to slowdown due to the loss of power.this car has the ecoboost engine 3.7 liter
I have the ecoboost motor.i was passing a vehicle on the highway the truck lost all power and started shuttering.the weather was dry and sunny.if they would have been someone coming and i had to accelerate hard to get around the vehicle that i was passing, it could have been bad.i took this truck in for this proble before to ford and they put a air dam plate kit in front of the cac.they said that this was fords fix for the problem so they know they a have defect with the system.this fix isn't working and i read where they weren't going to make ford fix the problem that going to get someone hurt or killed in these vehicles someday.i guess that's what it take before something is done.this is my second complaint filed for this defect.
While passing a semi on a two lane highway my ecoboost f150 began to shutter and loose power. I understand you have already investigated this issue and determined it was not a safety issue. After my experience today i respectfully disagree, let me explain. When this happens while passing someone and you're forced to slow down while in wrong lane. This can be quite scary, cars coming at you, cars behind you also wanting to pass and a large semi next you.
My v-6 ecoboost engine shudders upon accelerating, loses power, check engine light flashing on & off. This has occurred several times especially when the weather is damp. My truck only has a little over 75k
My name is [xxx], i own a 2011 f150 ecoboost.over the past 4 years i have encountered and same issue with the engine misfiring due to moisture getting in the intake.everyone dealership personal i've spoken with has confirmed that it's a known issue with that year and model and there is no permanent fix.however when the engine continuously misfires it calls for service on the truck and replacement of certain parts.i am filling this complaint because i do not believe this right that ford should be allowed to ignore a known issue that has almost gotten myself and family into a serious accident on the highway.as well cost me money out of pocket to correct.i would like to see someone hold ford accountable before this issue gets someone killed.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Ford f150 3.5l ecoboost completely looses power when accelerating in passing gear. Vehicle shutters and bucks severally and does not allow any type of acceleration to be able to exit into slow lane interstate traffic. Normal operation returns after about 1.5 minutes of coasting and then gently applying accelerator to regain vehicle control. During the recovery time the engine runs very rough as if timing was completely out of sync.i drive 1000 miles per weekon interstate 95 and this condition is ongoing. I experience at least 2 or 3of these episodes per week when i try to accelerate to pass another vehicle. This is a safety concern to me because the vehicle looses power completely and does not recover until 1.5 minutes later. The check engine light comes on very time this condition occurs. When reading the error codes it only show misfiring of all cylinders (code p0300).
Inadequate contacts on fuse relay for fuel pump, causing overheating without burning out the fues(#27 in the fuse box). This caused the relay and fuse to start melting and resulted in immediate shut down of the fuel pump, and complete power loss. I was lucky it happened right after i pulled into my driveway. No warning at all. Extremely dangerous if it had happened on the freeway.
Poor gas mileage. Window sticker says 23 mpg highway, best i ever got is 16 mpg,with cruise set at 65 mph on flat level highway.had at dealer, 4 times, they updated computer, changed turbo intercooler and they still cant improve my fuel economy. Around town i get 12 mpg. Bad turbo lag when pulling out low power, dealer said its how turbos work. Doors rattle, speakers crackle, rear end springs make a creaking sound. 4 wheel drivemakes a loud growling, sounds like gears are not meshed right. I would not recommenda new f-150 to any one.nothing but trips to the dealer and let downs.
This is on the ecoboost f150. I was driving during a rain and had been around 70 miles. The weather was rainy. I went to pass a farm tractor on a 2 lane road and the vehicle stuttered and had no power to pass. I had to take evasive action and get back into my lane where there vehicle continued to sputter for approximately another 2 minutes. I took truck to ford and they replaced a converter and cooler. Last wednesday under similar conditions, the same thing happened again on a vacation trip. Oncoming traffic had to evade me as i tried to get back into my lane. It has been less than 10, 000 miles since last attempted repair was performed by dealer. Obviously the repair did not work and now i am left with a vehicle with an obvious design defect that ford doesn't know how to correct. Under different circumstances, this could be a serious safety issue.
I was driving at highway speed and tried to accelerate quickly to pass someone and the truck had major hesitation and shuddering. Continues to do this anytime you try to rapidly accelerate.
Water from the cac was ingested into the engine causing a misfire.this is the 8th time it has happened to me. I have had all tsb's completed by ford and the issue still persists. The ecoboost engines are unsafe. This loss of power while merging has causes me to narrowly escape accidents 2 out of the 8 incidents. I noticed that the nhtsa closed an investigation into the ecoboost issues earlier this year. I'm suggesting that the nhtsa re-open that investigation. The tsb's are not fixing these issues and it is only a matter if time before someone is seriously injured. Please contact me with any questions.
Truck has loss of power when pulling out to pass at highway speeds nearly causing head on crashes.
While driving the orange wrench appears in the dash board. The power is shut down and the engine runs real rough like it only a 2 cylinders. But, there is no power and the gas pedal doesn't accelerate the truck. The motor is running, tho rough, but there is no power at all. This has happened about 10 times to me in the past 8 months while driving in traffic.you have to turn the truck off, wait a few minutes, then restart the truck and it runs again. I have taken it to ford twice, leaving with them for 8 hours but they can't find any info on the truck computer to show any problems.i have also taken it to 2 different mechanics but they were unable to find and problem logged into the computer. Ford service manager said he never heard of this problem even tho i told hi the ford forum board list this problem from other truck owners. The board lists the problem either from the throttle body or the throttle sensor but ford again states they are unaware of this issue. Losing power and stalling in traffic could be a real serious issue and cause someone to get killed!!
While merging into traffic on the expressway today in miami, at about 35 mph, i had to accelerate to get out of the merging lane, at which time (for the third time since i bought the truck in 2011) the truck lost all power to the engine (a 3.5l ecoboost) and began to sputter, shake, and decelerate. Luckily for myself and the other drivers on the road i did leave a sufficient gap between myself and the car to my rear to give that vehicle time to react to what equates to a vehicle pulling out in front of him/her and gently pressing the brakes without the brake lights engaging.my truck hovered between 25 and 30 mph for about 30 seconds with it doing the sputtering and slowing thing each time i attempted to accelerate during that time period.after pretty much coasting for 30 or so seconds, the truck sprang back to life and drove as advertised.from what i've read, this is not an isolated incident and i (as well as others) believe ford should be held accountable for this defect.i'm not looking for a new truck, i'd just like the problem fixed.even though no deaths or injuries have been reported due to this "yet", you can see the danger of having your engine loose power when you need it the most. Unfortunately for their customers, all ford seems to be concerned with is the loss of a buck......not the loss of a life!!![xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
While entering a highway via an on-ramp doing about approximately 45 miles per hour i attempted hard acceleration to pick up speed and merge in to traffic that was doing approximately 65-70 miles per hour. When i depressed the throttle the vehicle did not accelerate, but it started to hesitate and shake. The check engine light came on and the vehicle would not go over 40 miles per hour. This almost caused an accident situation as i expected the vehicle to accelerate when it did not. I was then forced to pull over to the shoulder and shut the vehicle off. After restarting the vehicle the cel had cleared and the vehicle was operating normally. No code was stored in the pcm to indicate what the issue was. This happened several more times since the first incident. Once while towing a 4000lb boat/trailer which also almost caused a severe accident. Ford has found nothing wrong with the vehicle and concludes there is nothing they can do since no codes were stored. I will note that after receiving tsb 12-2-10 the vehicle will still exhibit the same symptoms described above, but now the check engine light does not come on. Vehicle will stall, go in to "limp mode" with no indication that anything is wrong. Only resolution is to turn the vehicle off and back on to clear the status. This creates dangerous situations when on a highway. Completely unacceptable.
I am sitting at a stoplight or street sign my foot is on the break all the way down and then all of a sudden it jumps forward. Then it started putting when i drove and kept getting worse and the check engine light flashes for a good minute. Everytime it said there was nothing wrong with it, and the dealership only found minor stuff that needed fixed but it was none of thoes that was causing this issue. So then i looked for recalls, and i had the recall on my truck done and then my truck started knocking. This is still happening and nobody can seem to figure out whats going on with the truck.
As i was merging onto the highway, i had to accelerate to avoid a semi who was approaching in the right lane.i hard accelerated, but the truck started shaking and the check engine light began flashing.i had lost all acceleration and was forced to put my flashers on and merge to the break-down lane to avoid being run completely off the highway.the truck shook violently while in 6th gear and i had to manually shift to 5th gear to stop the truck from vibrating apart.less than 10 minutes later (while driving down the highway in 5th gear) the check engine light turned off and the truck was able to be shifted back into 6th without any vibration.this lack of acceleration is extremely dangerous and has happened more times than i can count.above was only an explanation of the last occurrence.the truck has been serviced (under warranty) where issue was discussed with ford, but they were unable to "reproduce" the problem...
When accelerating and approaching freeway speed, engine stumbled, preventing acceleration. I let off the accelerator and problem didn't occur again. I reported this to the dealer, but they stated that since the vehicle did not register a code there was nothing they could do. I have since had this happen again on july 17 & 18, 2015, but this time the engine light did come on, so i'm assuming it did register a code. On july 17, it was a clear dry day, the following day it happened again, but it was raining all day. Once on the freeway, whenever i stepped on the accelerator, even when at freeway speed, the engine would stumble and barely accelerate. I've contacted the dealer and scheduled an inspection for july 29, 2015. The vehicle currently has 47000 miles. I've talked to ford customer service and i am being told this is not a warranty repair, but i am seeing a number of service bulletins being issued describing this exact problem. I believe this is a defect in design and should be covered under the manufacturers warranty.
Coasting at low speed around 7mph i attempted to accelerate, instantly as i put my foot on the gas pedal, now not even making it to 10mph, the 3.5l ecoboost engine made an incredibly loud and hard bang and continued to grow louder and shake more violently. I came to a stop on the side of the road i shut down the truck to find oil spilling from the passenger side of the block. I had the truck towed to my local dealership and they found that two connecting rods had broke and destroyed the block. They is no concern from anyone at ford about how this could have happened.
Attempting to accelerate to pass a slower vehicle on the highway. Truck began shuddering and immediately decelerated to 50mph. Would not respond for approximately 75 yards, then would not accelerate over 60mph. Two vehicles (one of those vehicles was a tractor-trailer) following had to take evasive action to avoid rear-end collision. Exited the highway, put the vehicle in park. No warning lights were engaged. Weather was sunny and warm. Now vehicle is shifting very hard with a delayed engagement between 55-60mph.
Throttle body needs replaced after 120000 miles after car stalled into 'limp mode' going highway speeds causing a dangerous situation. Truck diagnosed at baxter ford south in omaha ne and anderson ford in libcoln ne.this is a safety concern when the truck gave no warning signs and just hesitated and slowed down with little or no response to throttling.there are hundreds of cases of this with the ford f-150 2011. There have been other fords around that year that have had throttle body issues. I don't know why this is. It a recall?
While truck is running it suddenly jolts an downshifts to first gear. Then jolts again into gear. It takes a while sometimes for it to get back in gear and running. Does it randomly but more and more often. Mechanic serviced transmission said it was fine. Feels unsafe to drive

Follow up to complaint listed below (beginning with summary):it should be noted that this incident did not occur in humid or rainy conditions.this incident did not occur while traveling at highway speed or wide open throttle.this incident occurred while starting from a complete stop under light acceleration turning left across traffic.vehicle lost all power and would not move.pushing the gas pedal did increase engine rpm but vehicle would not move.the behavior exhibited by the vehicle sounds very similar to the condensation problem i have been made aware of with the 3.5 v6 ecoboost.however none of the circumstances ford claims causes the issue existed.this is an extremely dangerous condition.weather was approximately 15 degrees and sunny.i have experienced the problem when the vehicle has been cold and after it has been running for a while.summary:while attempting to cross oncoming traffic lanes to access interstate vehicle began to move then suddenly lost all power. Rpm's went up to 4000 rpm but vehicle would not move. Vehicles were approaching in excess of 50mph. I managed to barely avoid being struck by oncoming traffic and pulled to side of ramp. Vehicle then began to move again. Took vehicle in for service. Dealership performed two fixes involving some form of air dam. On 02/24 vehicle did the same thing luckily in a parking lot this time. This is an extremely dangerous condition which leaves no error codes so far. I am seeing many similar complain ts online. Taking vehicle in for service again on 3/3/15 as the issue occurred again today 3/2/15.
While moving, usually accelerating, the vehicle shifts gears at random, often from high speed (5th or 6th gear) down to a low gear, then back to higher gear, then back to lower gear, etc. This can happen several times. While this is happening the speedometer bounces from 0 to actual speed. While this is happening the vehicle experiences bouncy, lurching movement. This has happened multiple times while driving on city streets & county highways. Has happened while turning and while driving in a straight line.
Truck would not start but had power. Paid for new starter and still would not start. When able to get truck started manually underneath the truck- wrench light was on dash and truck would not shift gears, no cruise control, and no lights on dash for r p n d m. Trs code pulled on my truck when tested and this is part of a ford recall but ford stating my vin is not part of the recall yet my truck is having this issue and they dont have to fix it.
The contact owns a2011 ford f-150. While driving 50 mph, the transmission slipped and the vehicle jerked so hard that the contact almost struck the windshield. Shortly afterwards, the gear shifted back into drive on its own. In addition, the speedometer malfunctioned and none of the gauges functioned on the instrument panel. The vehicle started to drive normally hours after the failure, but the service warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to shaker's family ford lincoln (831 straits turnpike, watertown, ct 06795, (860) 945-4900) where the dealer denied that the vehicle malfunctioned and that there was a recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired, but another appointment was made for next week. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 97,000.
When taking my foot off the accelerator, the transmission will automatically down shift to an inappropriate gear, mostly at highway speeds , although it has happened in city driving. ( i.e.70 mph to 4th gear, 55 mph to 2nd. Etc.)now, all this downshifting has caused the trans to slip, not go immediately into gear, etc.ford has a recall for this issue but says my truck was built before they started having problems, so is not included in the recall.

Generally speaking with a new vehicle i "baby" a new vehicle until i get over 75,000 mi.first incident - noticed around 40,000 mi.when accelerating to pass at highway speeds the vehicle shudders and doesn't have power.thought it was bad gas, turbo lag, or intermittent transmission issue.problem occurred a few times over the years, every time was during acceleration to pass or merge on to expressway conditions.keep in mind since i was in the babying mileage range i rarely performed such acceleration.but after a couple of occurrences, i discussed this with a friend that also owns an ecoboost and he thought the same reasons.i have 7 year 100,000 extended warranty so i thought i would wait until the problem occurred frequently enough to easily trouble shoot.of course frequency wouldn't be enough until after i get out of the "baby" stage on mileage.currently the vehicle has over 75,000 miles.i no longer baby it.problem occurs every time i accelerate to pass at highway speeds.also, i have had the problem when accelerating to enter highway traffic from ramp.the ramp occurrence appears to be when i'm at a speed and then accelerate.not sure if the problem happens when accelerating from a stop or slow speed.i'm concerned this may lead to an accident and potential a life threatening or changing event.what is one life worth?i guess that depends on if its yours.i believe this is a life threatening event and know that drivers like myself once aware pay attention and proceed with caution and this is the reason there hasn't been life lost, or no one has proven this was the root cause to accidents that have occurred.i fear for those who are not aware of this issue and that they may discover it at the wrong time. Please do something to help.

They said i was sol and need to bring it in so they can find out whats wrong woith it fees not included...
Going up hill, stepped on gas, transmission shifted down one gear, let off gas and engine died. It showed low oil pressure on dash. Steering was hard (had to pull to side of road). Vehicle was then towed.oil dip stick was pulled out and will not go back in. Latter discovered engine is seized up for no know reason.

My dealer and ford have refused to fix my vehicle under the original customer satisfaction program rules for 19n01, and because of a technicality and fords new extra strict rules, i am being asked to pay out of pocket. I only have 10 days left on the customer satisfaction program and they are giving me the run around. My vin was recalled for unintended transmission downshift safety issue, which has cause accidents and injuries as well as damage to the vehicle. 19n01 is the nhtsa number. The original recall i received in the mail said that the programming would be redone first (19s07) and i did that in late 2019. On february 8th i experienced an unintended downshift event while in motion, on the highway, i was immediately slowed down, 'wrench light' on my dash, as well as zero speedometer, and was in limp mode. This is exactly the symptoms in the recall. Thankfully myself and my truck were on injured. I took my ford f150 to my independent ford truck mechanic for a diagnosis, he found dtc p0722. A pdf of his work ticket is attached. He directed me to take it to the ford dealer in dallas to receive the recall and free repair under the customer satisfaction program.i took my ford f150 into planet ford in dallas texas, and they said that ford change the requirements, they now requires that the code be present in the system, be printed out, for evidence to have the recall covered. They would not accept my mechanics evidence of the code. When they checked my f150, they claimed the code was no longer in the system therefore they could not fix it under the customer satisfaction program. I told them my ford truck mechanic saw the code, they are very familiar with him and his independent shop, and they said it didn't matter, ford changed the rules on them. Text and story continued in attached pdf
I had recall 19s07 completed with the pcm flashed a month ago. Right after it was flashed i had extremely hard shifting from 1st to 2nd and a hard down shift from 4th-3rd, during take off and slow down.i called the dealer immediately and was told top bring it back in because the flash was corrupt and they needed to re-flash the truck.i did that and after the re-flash, the hard shifting was still there, not as often, from 1st - 2nd but at least happening at 3 take offs when driving.this continued to the current day.i was told to drive the truck for two weeks for the computer to re-learn my driving habits.now mind you the truck drove fine prior to having this fsa pcm flash done.i took it in because the danger of having the truck go from 6th to 1st gear at 70mph is high.now yesterday (11/20/2019) i took off from a stop light (hard shifting still happening), just reached 55mph (in motion) when the truck went from being in 5th/6th gear down to 3rd gear.immediately the wrench light came on, my mileage display disappeared, and the truck would not leave 3rd gear. I drove slowly to a gas station and turned the vehicle off.this is exact signs of the molded lead frame and the dealer confirmed that with codes.there is a fsa 19n01 that is to replace the lead frame/however, my truck now has 174,000 miles and 19n01 is covered to 150,000 only and ford will not honor the lead frame to be replaced.back to my original issue, is the bad shifting of this truck did not begin until i had fsa 19s07 and the system flash.so that lead to the lead frame and speed sensors failing.both fsa's are for the abrupt downshift possibility, and 19n01 came out after 19s07. Coincidence,? i do not think so. Ford needs to honor the warranty repair of the lead frame by the dealer. Please help before accident's happen
As i was pulling out of the yard the truck started shifting from 1st, 2nd, to 5th and then back to 1st gear. The transmission speed sensor was replaced today and it fixed the issue.
While attempting to pass a slower vehicle on a two lane road, my truck lost all power and the check engine light began blinking.i was in the on-coming travel lane adjacent to the vehicle i was passing when the incident occurred.the incident nearly caused an accident as the vehicle i was passing slowed down when i lost power an i was unable to immediately get over.i coasted with a rough running engine to the shoulder and shut off the engine.when i restarted it a few minutes later it ran a little rough and the check engine light remained on.research shows that this is a know issue for this make model with the ecoboost engine.the ford dealership, while having a tsb in place for the issue, did not notify me of the issue and will not cover the cost of the recommended service under either the power-train warranty or my ford extended warranty (bumper-to-bumper has expired).this is a huge safety issue and this should be a recall from ford to fix these issues and they apparently will not take the initiative to do so on their own. The incident occurred in southwestern missouri on a day in which it had been raining off and on.
After received a recall later for oss on my truck, bring to gervais ford ayer ma, on the way to the dealer, truck transmission downshift, dealer look at, after all, they said that the recall was only for software upgrade and the procedure was done before for a 3th part, but year ago the valve body was change on the same dealer and the problems are similar, they try to charge me for diagnosis, that i refused.
Upon trying to pass a truck, when i stepped on the gas for added power, the engine convulsed and shook the entire truck, lost power, engine light flickered... I pulled over immediately, called the ford dealership, they did a check through on star (type system).said they saw nothing?!started back up, seemed to be fine once again.this has happened now multiple times.always when stepping on the gas for added power, same scenario.this is the eco boost engine.while i love the power, it has failed me 5 times to date.same problem as the pe 13-018 report.
Unexpected transmission downshift on january 31, 2018.while driving on i 70 heading towards kansas city, mo from independence, mo, my f-150 unexpectedly shifted into first gear while i was driving at 65 mph. There was a large tractor trailer behind my truck that almost slammed into the back of my vehicle when my truck slammed into first gear. The tractor trailer swerved into the high-speed lane to avoid running into the back of my truck. No injuries or collisions occurred. I pulled over immediately and noticed that there was transmission fluid leaking from the front of my transmission. I called for a tow truck and had my vehicle taken to the ford dealership in blue springs, mo. The dealership informed me that my vin was not one of the transmissions that had been recalled under the ford customer satisfaction program 16n02. According to the recall letter, it should have been recalled, since my vehicle was built on june 28, 2011, which falls within the time frame stated in the recall. This recall also covers the power train for unexpected down shifts for 10 years or 150,000. Since the vehicle was thrown into a low gear at a high speed, it is suspected that the excessive pressure created blew out the torque convertor and front seal of the transmission. The dealership will not request guidance from corporate ford on this issue and is requesting $5,550 for a re-manufactured transmission that should be covered under their extended warranty.

The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact called brinson ford (1951 martin luther king jr blvd, corsicana, tx 75110, 903-874-8880) and was informed that the parts were on backorder until the second quarter. The manufacturer was not contacted. The contact had not experienced a failure. The consumer stated dealer was given information on software update but indeed verified the dealer had the correct information.
Vehicle has ford's selectshift transmission - when it is put in "m" mode and then gear 1 is selected, it will behave normally up to about 3000 rpm.above 3000 rpm, it will not slow down if the driver's foot is removed from the accelerator.if the slope of the road changes, it will continue to accelerate as though it was still going uphill, increasing speed without any driver input.it will return to normal behavior immediately as soon as the brake pedal is pressed, and the problem seems to only occur when the transmission is locked into 1st gear and in the m position (not d).
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle went into limp mode and all power was lost. The contact stated that a wrench warning indicator illuminated during the failure. The vehicle was able to coast to the side of the roadway. The contact restarted the engine, but the vehicle would not move. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence and then to roberts motor, inc. (4350 n alby st, alton, il 62002, (618) 466-72220). The dealer diagnosed that the active lead frame and transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was in the process of being repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vin was not included in a recall. The contact was referred to nhtsa. The approximate failure mileage was 114,000.
Sudden downshift from higher gear to 1st gear while driving.this has happened twice in the last week.both times the vehicle was already in motion in a straight line.the first time it was in 3rd gear and downshifted into 1st at about 30 mph while trying to accelerate.the second time it was in 5th gear going downhill and the transmission shuddered then dropped into 1st gear at about 40mph.both times the engine rpm spiked and it was necessary to immediately pull over out of traffic until the transmission reset itself.
Sudden and random downshifting. While in drive, the transmission will suddenly downshift into a lower gear, completely at random. This causes a major lurch and "jump" in the transmission and speed decreases greatly. Happens at high and low speeds. Does not seem to be induced by "hard" driving or gentle driving. Cannot force it to occur. Have not taken it into dealer to be checked as no codes (engine light or gear) appears. This is a known recall issue for other f150's but my truck isn't covered, but is definitely having the same issues.

On several different occasions after starting my ford f-150 ecoboost i experienced difficulty stopping the vehicle when approaching an intersection.my spouse complained that the vehicle "took off" after she put the truck in reverse in the driveway.i complained about this issue to the dealer on 3/16/15 saying that i was unable to stop at a stop sign.i told them it felt like i was being pushed into the intersection.my initial feeling was that the engine was overpowering the brakes.the turbo can be heard spinning up after a cold start.i am unsure if it is really brake or engine/transmission related....updated 09/15/15 updated 10/31/2017

Additionally the gear indicator lampon the dash disappeared.then a large yellow wrench appears.the vehicle was assemble at the kansas facility and fords 12c23-s1. Safety recall campaign fails to cover this, stating there is no recall listed for this vehicle vin. This vehicle nearly struck a student when my wife (teacher) was attempting to place vehicle in reverse to leave her parking place, when there was a delay to go into gear she pressed the accelerator thinking it needed fuel. As the transmission abruptly jerked into gear at the high rpmsthe vehicle shot backwards out of control. This is a known safety issue and is not being addressed by ford because of a number on a piece of paper.it appears i'm not the only one with this issue and ask for your assistance in helping prevent a tragedy. Your organization has addressed this in the past and it appears it needs to be addressed again.
The speed odometer jumps around and the gears change sporadically. After having this check by my mechanic, they feel that it is the power train control module and speed sensor. They found a recall for this model f150 but it did not include the date of build on my vehicle.recall 16s19.it is dangerous because you don't have any notice as to when it might act up and you loose power without any warning. It happens when driving on whywayans side streets, high and low speeds. It feels as if the gear is dropped from 5th to 1st and back.

On the morning of january 17th 2019 i was traveling eastbound on tx-114 between n kimball ave and e soutlake blvd traveling at the posted speed limit when my 2011 f150 downshifted into 1st gear causing the rear wheels to lock up and the rear end started to drift to the left.i regained control of the vehicle and pulled over to the right shoulder.i exited the highway and kept the speed below 30mph and drove directly to the grapevine ford dealership.i believe this is related to ford recall 16s19, nhtsa campaign # 16v248000.a few years ago the transmission was shifting hard and the lead frame was replaced at 5 star ford in lewisville, tx.
When putting truck in reverse after going forward or put in forward after backing up, clunk or chirp noise from under vehicle.could be driveshaft or rear.waiting for warranty servce.
I was driving down the road at 50mph when my transmission suddenly powered down and went to 1st gear. After doing reasearch the issue is lead frame to the transmission.
While driving, rear wheels lock up for a few seconds, then truck shakes and has no acceleration power.this is happening at least once weekly now with loss of power lasting from 10 to 45 seconds.not safe when in traffic.local dealer says they can't find anything wrong and that they have no tsb on it.
Since owning a new 2001 ford f-150 ecoboost, i have noticed several issues with the engine. Loss of power when accelerating, shuttering when braking and poor fuel economy. I have taken the vehicle in for service and they have applied technical service bullitins, but the issue returns. The latest problem was a failed coil pack causing my vehicle to almost stall on the highway. Ford didn't cover the part under their powertrain warranty.
Had a recall on my 2011 f150 . I took it and got it fix for the 12c23 a/t range sensor and its still doing that same things , it goes into reverse but want immediate on the dash of my f150 and this condition increases the rick of a crash or someone being hit because the truck isn't signaling it's in reverse . So the time i took my truck in to get this problem fixed it didn't fix the issue and when i get in reverse and back out , i have to put truck in park and cut to rest it because if not the truck will not shift gears . I took it back to ford and was going to charge me 2800.00 for lead frame and cpm
The truck looses power while driving down the road. Most of the time i have been driving as a slow rate of speed20-35 mph. The engine continues to run and the wrench light comes on the dash. The transmission receives no power and the truck will only coast forward . Immediate solution is to pull over, shut the engine off and restart. The truck then has power.the problem may repeat itself within miles or it may not repeat for days/weeks.this happen 18 months ago, 4 months ago, and 2 days ago.
I almost lost my life just leaving work. Made a right onto hwy & almost got smashed, no power in the peddle, with a semi coming at me full speed i'm sitting there trying to go, he blew his horn passing me in left lane...

Sounds like it downshifts it stalls when i take my foot off the accelerator. In the neighborhood going less than 25 mph.
Air handler diverter switch burnt out causing fire at 35000 miles, power train idles high at stops trying to go, at down shift when slowing it jerks very badly truck has only 40000 miles on it. These are ongoing problems for many miles
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 50 mph, the contact noticed that the engine rpms began to change and the vehicle automatically downshifted into first gear. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road. When the contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, it operated normally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (bill hood ford lincoln, 1500 n morrison blvd, hammond, la 70401) where it was diagnosed that the failure was caused by the lead frame, which had an extended warranty for up to 150,000 miles.

2011 ford f-150 lariat 5.0. 132,000 miles.16n02 ' molded leadframe extended coverage ' 2011-2012 ford & lincoln. My f-150 built in january 2011 at kansas city assembly is not covered by the current extended warranty coverage due to the range of months covered in 2011. My truck downshifted while driving.the wrench indicator illuminated and the truck would only go into 5th gear after i stopped and cycled the key. When driving to the dealership in limp mode, it downshifted again and was stuck in 3rd gear. Dealer is replacing the lead frame, electrical sleeve, and the necessary filter, fluid, and pan gasket. They admit it is the same issue as the tsb but i am not covered. Ford customer service was unwilling to help. Lucky for me this issue happened on a back road close to home. It is obvious this is a known defect and i would like to see the current coverage extended to include all affected vehicles. Ford should not be making money in the service lane off this defective transmission safety issue. I don't just feel that myself and others should be reimbursed. I know we should.
Engine completely turns off or dies and all instruments also turn off.not able to steer or navigate the vehicle at all.it's completely dead.also transmission lurches forward with no warning at low speeds causing you to slam on brakes or hit whatever is in front of you.
Beginning approximately 9 months ago, when i purchased this vehicle, it began suffering sudden down shifts. At highway speeds it would suddenly drop into third gear, or first gear, very dramatic! very scary!sometimes it would get stuck in first gear when i pulled away from a stop sign and, while in heavy traffic, i had to find a way to pull over and shut off the car and restart it to clear this fault.sometimes the fault would not clear when i restarted the truck.this began happening more and more frequently and i was very concerned for the safety and well-being of my family, wife and two children. We purchased this as a family and work truck and suddenly we felt our lives were in danger driving it. I learned there was a recall on 2011 f-150s for this very problem but was told my particular truck was not covered in this recall. No reason was given.i opted to pay for the repair myself and it solved the problem.that was a little over a month ago and we have not had a single recurrence of the fault since i paid for the repair. During a phone call with ford motor company i was promised by their employee shay, employee number to 19116 3, that for it would be fully covering my repair. Cas - 17206 574 they did cover a repair number one nine s07, but the mechanic in charge at valley ford in kalispell montana told me i needed 16 n 02. Once 16 n02 had been performed my truck no longer has suffered any downshift or transmission errors. It is my belief that my truck and many like it should be included in the 16n02 recall.thank you for your time.

My 2011 ford f150 lariat 5.0l has 100,000 miles at which time i began having issues with erratic transmission shifting.t has happened multiple times both at high speeds and low speeds.truck will downshift and transmission jumps all over the place.very scary and very unsafe.i was able to get the error code which was p0720 output shaft speed sensor circuit.i checked my vin and did not find any recalls associated with my truck.i called multiple ford dealers who told me the same thing.i searched the internet and read on edmonds.com, cars.com, and nhtsa that ford has a recall effecting 2011 ford f150s with the 6r80 transmission built between aug 19th, 2011 and march 09, 2012.mine was built with the 6r80 transmission with a build date of sep 6th, 2011.based on what i read and the similar issues with the recall i find it hard to believe my truck is not included.i cannot safely drive so i called ford customer care and opened case# caf15213386.i then took my truck to a ford dealer to have the fix applied which was to update the powertrain control module software costing me $180.i was then told this would not solve my problem.to solve my problem i needed to replace my lead frame which would cost $1300 but they can't get me in until next week.the recall notice i read indicated the pcm software would be no cost under the recall and if code presented itself ford would provide a one time replacement of the lead frame at no charge within 10 years or 150,000 miles.please investigate to see why my truck is not included in this recall.i will have the work done and save my receipts in hopes that i will be reimbursed after this case and ford case are resolved.

After reading several posts, ford should recall this truck.
The timing chain of the 3.5l ecoboost fails at approximately 80,000 miles.the failure is a result of a stretched timing chain and causes a lack of power and acceleration.
Output shaft speed sencer goes bad it drope transmission to first gear with no warming causing the tires to slie and engine to reach excessive rpm.fells like stomping on the breaks
My ford f150 is suddenly downshifting to a lower gear while on the freeway. I called the ford dealership in roseville ca and they proceeded to tell me that they do not fix this issue on the weekends at all. This is truly inconvenient to the customers.
When starting off from a stopped position the transmission will shift very hard. This has happened on numerous occasions. Vehicle was taken back to dealer and it did not do it for a few months. Now it does it every once in awhile. This should not do this anymore after being at the dealers.

Vehicle began shuddering heavy between 40mph and 50mph. Requiring me to depress the gas pedal heavy to avoid the shuddering, its almost impossible to drive my vehicle at 45 mph (which is the speed limit in most of the area i drive in). This occurrence is when 5th gear changing to 6th gear, which is typical between 45 mph. Not sure what damage this is doing to my vehicle, let alone the safety risk this may be causing. I have had the vehicle in the dealership at lease 6 times for this issue and with no results of the issue being resolved. Just the run around and false promises. 2011 f150 5.0 motor and 3.55 gear ratio.
Vehicle downshifts from high speeds down to 1st or 2nd gear while driving at higher speeds. This causes rapid deceleration and high rpms. Also at times the transmission will also neutral out and i have no control over acceleration.

Coasting at low speed around 7mph i attempted to accelerate, instantly as i put my foot on the gas pedal, now not even making it to 10mph, the 3.5l ecoboost engine made an incredibly loud and hard bang and continued to grow louder and shake more violently. I came to a stop on the side of the road i shut down the truck to find oil spilling from the passenger side of the block. I had the truck towed to my local dealership and they found that two connecting rods had broke and destroyed the block. They is no concern from anyone at ford about how this could have happened.
Throttle body needs replaced after 120000 miles after car stalled into 'limp mode' going highway speeds causing a dangerous situation. Truck diagnosed at baxter ford south in omaha ne and anderson ford in libcoln ne.this is a safety concern when the truck gave no warning signs and just hesitated and slowed down with little or no response to throttling.there are hundreds of cases of this with the ford f-150 2011. There have been other fords around that year that have had throttle body issues. I don't know why this is. It a recall?

Transmission slipping
Vehicle has abrupt shift from 1st to second resulting in violet jerk, also from 6 to 5 or 5th to 4th. Numerous people online have same problem. Also using black stone labs fluid diagnostic has shown major wear in transmission.i'm seding in second test next week. Vehicle manufacturing date is 03/2011 this happens from 1st to second at very low speeds 5mph or less. And downshift bump at any speed but mostly between 40 to 30 mph. Jerk is enough to shake entire truck feels like someone hit you from behind.
#1: driving down the interstate, attempting to pass a semi; vehicle lost power as i tried to accelerate and we had to coast to a stop. This has actually happened twice. The first time they replaced the intercooler and the second time i replaced the spark plugs. It occurred about three weeks after getting the vehicle it's regular service. If there was a problem with the gaps on the plugs, and they knew cars were losing power because of it, then they should have mentioned that at the service!#2: driving down the interstate and speedometer jumped around and went to zero. After i got off the highway, i lost power and had erratic shifting while trying to cross an intersection. There's a tsb out for this too!! why isn't there a recall if there's a defective part that creates dangerous situations!?!?
There is a problem with the engine misfiring at moderate to hard acceleration.this really bothers me.as i have talked with ford mechanics i have been told that ford has no fix for this problem.from what i have read and studied, this is a problem with condensation in the intercooler making its way to he injectors.once you put your foot on the gas pedal to accelerate you experience a sometimes violent stutter and the vehicle not accelerating but instead sounding like it's going to explode.i have also heard this happens when its humid outside.regardless, one day i'm going to need to accelerate away or from something and the truck is going to fail, causing me to get hit or killed. I have found fixes to the problems including a full race intercooler, plugs and wires, however i don't think i should have to spend over $1000 for something ford released knowing it wasn't ready, or up to par.i've owned my vehicle for over a year now and its 0% better even using top octane fuel.please help...
Whenever i start to drive and excelerate the gear shifts or jumps
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-i50. On several occasions, while the accelerator or brake pedals were depressed, the vehicle jerked and accelerated. The transmission failed to shift gears properly and the transmission warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer stated that there were no recalls and did not offer any further assistance. The failure mileage was 165,000. *as
We were driving down the highway doing the speed limit of 55 mph when suddenly the truck down shifted straight to first gear which caused the vehicle behind us to slam on their brakes and nearly miss an accident. It stayed in first gear despite pressing the gas. Only got it to shift to second gear after putting into manual and shifting up from there. There was a separate occurance where the speedometer failed to read our speed (was at 0 mph for miles) and the screen where all the fuel economy info should be showed blank spaces. There has been a recall issued for just this (we were notified by our ford app) but when i call our local dealership they say they have not been provided with a remedy yet. It is highly dangerous to drive our truck in this circumstance yet nobody is able to provide thepowertrain control module reprogramming at this time, although the recall was issued april 25, 2016. Unsure what we are to do as this is our main vehicle.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving 20-35 mph, the vehicle inadvertently downshifted to first gear and stalled. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that he veered to the side of the road and turned off the vehicle. The contact restarted the vehicle and was able to drive to his destination. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact stated that the failure recurred while driving. The dealer and the manufacturer were made aware of the failure and advised the contact that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 44,000.
I am an owner of a ford f-150 platinum. The vin is (xxxxx). I received a notice of a recall with fix for my pickup last year. I took my pickup with the notice that i had received in the mail to our local ford dealership, baugh ford in clanton, alabama. I had an appointment with the local dealership on or around september 5, 2018 to resolve this issue. Prior to this repair, i had not noticed or experienced any problems with the transmission. However, following the repair, i noticed the transmission slipping or for lack of a better term forgetting what gear it was in. This seemed to happen while traveling slowly as in a parking lot, then letting off of the accelerator. As soon as the accelerator was depressed there was a brief pause followed by a loud metal to metal pop and jolt as if someone had hit the rear of the vehicle. This occurred infrequently and i could not make this happen, not reproduceable. This occurred approximately six times since september last. On june 15, 2019, while traveling on interstate i-65 north just north of montgomery, alabama at highway speed, i noticed the transmission seemed to momentarily slip or go into neutral. The gear selector was still in drive position and remained in that position through out this incident. Then it seemed as if the transmission started shifting gears. At some point the rear tires locked and the vehicle veered to the right and i and the truck abruptly left the interstate. I went down a steep embankment. I finally managed to stop my vehicle, without hitting any other vehicle or highway signage, near a secondary road. I then moved the gear selector from drive into the park position and then back to the drive position and drove a short distance to a safer location. I exited my vehicle and walked around and looked underneath the vehicle. Additionally, there no warning lights, no error/malfunction codes.parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 55 mph, the transmission downshifted into first gear independently. The vehicle was taken to village motors inc. (784 wooster rd, millersburg, oh 44654) where it was diagnosed that the software needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 57,000. .consumer stated truck downshifted to first gear on two consecutive days. One time at 55mph and second time at 35 mph. Ford dealership said software unavailable for repair.
An example of what happens is this:traveling along at 45mph, and pull out to overtake a slower vehicle, you accelerate aggressively. Upon doing this, the truck seems to stumble like it's hunting for the appropriate gear (@ about 45- 50mph).also, it feels like an engine mis-fire. It's a disconcerting feeling that the truck does not accelerate as it should when you need it the most.
Under acceleration the vehicle shudders, and shakes.it seems to lose power for seconds before it picks back up.has happened several times while pulling my camper and passing vehicles on highway and interstate.the other day while driving down the parkway the truck down shifted from 6th gear to 1st or 2nd without warning.i was almost rear ended and had to drive off onto the shoulder to avoid the collision.i have contacted ford and i will be taking the truck in for warranty work on wednesday april 6th 2016.i only have 3k miles left on power train warranty and none left on bumper to bumper.i purchase ford vehicles cause of there long lasting and reliable reputation.i have two children and wife that i expect to keep safe while driving this truck.i hope ford will look deeper into the problems at hand, dont be like gm and kill people before you fix the issues.

On october 26 was on my way to work i was on loop 250 which is 60 mph. Got on the loop was approaching an over passwhen suddenly with no warning lights it starts jerking, a pulling, shaking. Took foot off gas pedal looked at dash no warning lights on but the speedometer and gears on dash were going crazy going up and down. Slowing down applying the brake slowly cause lots of traffic behind and i front of me. I was shaking and very upset finally pulled over and turned truck off called my husband i told him what happened. He asked if the truck turned on it did i took it to dealership going very slow. My husband met me there and i told them what happened. I was very shaken up almost in tears. This is a saftey issue im like what if the truck would have caught one of those gears when it was going up and down from 1-6 or reverse i would have flipped that truck. Please please investigate this problem before it happens to someone else and is hurt or killed. It is nov 1 and they still have not even diagnosed my vehicle. I want it fixed correctly but 1 week and not even looked at yet. That is my only vehicle and it's been very inconvenient getting to work.
I recently looked up any recalls involved with my vehicle. The first that came up was the transmission recall for f150 of my year. To be honest i only looked it up because my truck shifted from 4th to 1st while i was driving at about 35mph. The second time this happened i was leaving a golf course and the truck was shifting from 1st to 3rd and back to 1st again. Also the speedometer was going crazy on both occurrences, jumping 20mph at some points while i know i was only going about 15mph. The vehicle was in motion both times at low city street speeds.
I was driving about 45 mph and transmission shifts into low gear causing back tires to lock up and it was raining which resulted in a little spin out
While in a parking lot i started the engine and put it in gear with my foot on the brake.after a moment or 2 the rpm came up and the tires were squealing.i then shifted to neutral and the rpm slowed.i then shifted to drive and drove to an exit. While waiting for a break in traffic with my foot on the brake the same thing happened.the rpm came up and the rear tires were trying to spin.i shifted to neutral until i could move, and shifted to drive and joined the traffic.there was no problems with speed control while driving in traffic.
2011 f150 xlt 4x4 rear slip yoke clunk. My yoke clunks on acceleration either fast or slow.
I stopped to back into a parking spot, but when i put the shift lever into reverse the "r" indication would not illuminate, and reverse would not engage.this caused the check engine light to come on.when i attempted to shift into any other gear, the "prnd" lights would not illuminate.when the truck was put into drive, the gear would engage, but it seemed to be under limited power.when gears a changed, the transmission shifts very hard.if the vehicle is placed in park and turned off, when it is turned back on the gear selection illumination light shows, but once the transmission is placed in reverse, the issue repeats. A recall was done for this exact issue on this year, make, and model of vehicle, but the vin does not show any active recalls.
Shuddering/surging at highway speeds around 60mph in 6th gear.
This vehicle was recalled recently for the following reason:dearborn, michigan ' ford is recalling 201,900 vehicles in north america, including the 2011-'12 ford f-150 and 2012 ford expedition to repair a transmission defect, the automaker said on wednesday.the recall also includes the 2012 ford mustang and lincoln navigator.the defect has been traced to an output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame."under certain conditions, the transmission controls could force a temporary downshift into first gear," ford said in a statement. "depending on the speed of the vehicle at the time of the downshift, the driver could experience an abrupt speed reduction that could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up."this condition could result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash."ford said it is aware of three accidents, but no reports of injuries, linked to the recall.affected vehicles are equipped with a 6r80 transmission. The info above is copied from edmunds.comthis problem happened to me this morning. Driving 68mph rear wheels locked up. Trucked fishtailed. Almost flipped it . A miracle i did not rollover, get rear ended or cause an accident. No recall fix available at this time per ford. Are you kidding me? these vehicles should not be allowed to be driven until this issue is addressed and repaired. Almost kille d me and maybe others.

Put truck in drive start traveling down the street and then the truck down shift and jerk really hard or traveling at about 45 mph and it has a hard shirt!
Vehicle downshifts violently in motion, freeway speed you reduce acceleration and gear shifts from 6 to 4; street speed from 3 or 4 to 1. Similarities to recall notice 16v248000
Bad transmission leadframe assembly as previously identified by ford in a recall causing vehicle to lose power at 65mph requiring vehicle to be stopped and restarted; ford has identified issue as 16v-248 but told me that my vehicle missed the campaign as my vehicle build date was 11 days prior to their recall dates; however, my vehicle was built at same plant (dearborn) and had same identical error codes for problem; ford rep at 866-436-7332 told me that although problem seems the same nothing can be covered; to resolve cost me $751.27. Always occurred while vehicle in motion.

While driving the truck, it has begun to ride choppy when accelerating at around 40-mph and 60-mph.the choppy performance goes away when hard accelerating (putting the gas pedal to the floor) at those speeds, but the transmission warning light comes on when continuously doing this at 60-mph.the truck starts to lose power and does not shift, nor ride smoothly at the speeds; the front of the vehicle begins to shimmy.this has mainly occurred on the highways, where the speed limit is higher, but the problems has also occurred on side streets.it occurs only when accelerating, not in deceleration.
I was driving my 2011 ford f-150 4x4 with the 3.5 liter ecoboost engine on hwy 12 in buxton, n.c. And i went to pass a driver, accelerating from approximately 40 mph to 55 mph and the engine bogged and lost all power. I continued to hit the gas for about another second and the wheels then locked up and the truck had several violent jerking motions before coming to a complete stop. The engine would not turn back on for an hour. I had it towed to the ford dealership (under warranty) and they reset the computer. The truck seemed to run ok in the time since then, with the exception of the occasional shuddering during hard acceleration. Now (december 2013) the truck will not accelerate at higher than 2,000 rpm when in 4th, 5th or 6th gear without shuddering and cutting power to the engine. The check engine light begins to flash during this and then turns off. Ford is not willing to cover the repair costs and despite speaking to several customer service representatives, no one at ford has acknowledged this issue happening with any other vehicles.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The contact took the vehicle to pines ford (8655 pines blvd, pembroke pines, fl 33024, (954) 443-7000) to have the recall repair performed. The contact never experienced a failure prior to the recall repair. After the repair, while the contact's husband was driving at a low rate of speed, the vehicle downshifted without warning. The contact's husband stated that the vehicle continued to downshift multiple times as he attempted to return the vehicle to the dealer. The dealer took back possession of the vehicle and, after three days, the contact was informed that the vehicle needed a new transmission. The contact was also informed that ford did not have coverage for the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 197,869.
I have a 2011 f150 ecoboost. When i put it in reverse the lever on the truck does not dial reverse and the truck wont go in gear, after about 10 seconds there is a wrench that appears in the dash and check engine light and the truck is finally able to move back but the reverse lights wont work while the truck is backing up the reverse sensors or camera dont work either making this a big safety issue. The truck also experienses a major loss of power. After the wrench and check engine light appear indicating there is an issue none of the other gears light up when i change to other gears and if i put it on drive the truck has a limited amount of power. And still with the wrench and check engine light on, if i put the truck in park and step on the gas a little bit the truck will accelerate on its own for a about 6 econds. This only goes away if i turn off the truck and back on, but as soon as i put it in reverse it will have all the issues again. And there is no reading of the transmission oil temperature either. I connected a scanner to the truck to diagnose it and it gave me the code:p0705 transmission range sensor circuit (prndl input)i had the truck scanned also by different scanners and all 3 give the same code. That caode calls for a bad transmission range sensor, but i looked at the transmission and there is no sensor on the side. I checked online and there are more people experiencing this problem and some ford mechanics say changing the transmission lead frame will fix the issue. Dealer says mi vin doenst show a recall fpr this. I believe there should be. I am nit the only one experiencing this. The dealer did say their transmission department was backed up though.
The vehicle is an automatic transmissionsand is unexpectedly downshift into first gear while the vehicle is in motion. You have a recall on other ford f150's and this should be one of them for the money we paid for the truck
Transmission may not go into reverse or when the driver pushes the shift lever in the reverse 'r' position and the vehicle's transmission does go in reverse, the 'r' may not illuminate on the dashboard of the f-150. The backup lamp on the rear of thevehicle may not illuminate. This was a previous recall for this year model but i have been told my truck was not affected. Every symptom descrided is exactly what is happening to my vehicle. Any time i put the vehicle in reverse the "r" on the dash does not light up and it takes approx.5-10 seconds for the vehicle to go in to the reverse gear at which time a yellow wrench appears on the dash. The reverse lights do not come on and the reverse camera does not activate. After the wrench appears the transmission will not recognize any gear. I have to shut the truck completely off and restart for drive to function correctly.
Similar to 16s19 recall. My truck was not included. My truck has experienced exactly what the description for the recall states. It downshifted abruptly at no warning. Sudden kick in switching gears.
Driving down the highway at 75 mph for an extended period of time in high humidity. Pushed the pedal down to pass a couple trucks going up a mountain and the engine began misfiring and stuttering. There was loss of power and vehicle went into limp mode with flashing check engine light. Failed to passed the trucks causing a dangerous condition by producing unexpected results. This problem is detailed in ford's tsb 13-8-1. I believe that this is a dangerous condition and a recall should be issued for this condition.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 70 mph, the service engine indicator illuminated and the vehicle independently shifted into reverse. The vehicle was taken to todd judy ford east (7891 maccorkle ave, charleston, wv 25315, (304) 925-0431) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 203,869.
Truck willdownshift at random
Leaving driveway, started to accelerate up slight incline on subdivision street and truck unexpectedly jumped from 1st gear to 5th and then suddenly downshifted to 1st gear causing vehicle to lurch forward as speed rapidly decreased to near idle speed. Seems to occur when vehicle shifts from 1st to 2nd, because if the truck is put back into park it will start to drive in first and when it shifts to 2nd it immediately jumps to 5th and repeats the above.
I accelerated from a stop and the engine lost power and went to idle.the check engine light came on steady and the engine would not accelerate from idle.i turned off the engine and restarted and was able to accelerate past idle.after traveling about 1/2 mile the engine again lost power. I again restarted the vehicle and was able to travel home (approximately 15 miles).all the while the check engine light stayed on steady.a similar event occurred while towing a 30 foot travel trailer while on the i-80 freeway near rawlings wyo.in june, 2014, although that time the engine shuddered violently and the check engine light flashed on and off.after pulling to the side of the freeway the light stopped flashing and i was able to accelerate normally without having to restart the engine.the engine shudder has occurred several times since and has been reported to my ford dealer (mission valley ford truck in san jose, ca).the dealer was not able to duplicate or capture any computer defect codes after doing a computer scan.
While driving my transmission will suddenly downshifted to first gear.no rhyme or reason. The last time it happened i was probably going 35 to 40mph. It threw everyone in the cabin forward like we hit something in the road. It has happened multiple times and is getting worse. I have spoken to ford and informed them about the similarities of a recall on the same problem but ford states my vin number does not fall into the category because it was built in their canadian plant.
Engine stumbles or misfires at highway speeds, which lead to a loss of power when accelerating.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the gear shifter independently shifted gears without warning. The failure recurred randomly.

The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v248000 (power train). The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was approximately 111,476.
Traveling on 4 lane highway during period of train, accelerated to pass vehicles, my truck eco-boost motor acceleration stagnated and vehicle began to shutter, was unable to pass, decelerated and stagnation stopped. Incident occurred when ever i tried to accelerated during active rain during a 9 hour interstate trip.
Sudden downshift from 6th gear to 2nd gear while traveling at 60mph. Engine rpms jumped up very high, tires squealed and the truck slowed very sudden and unexpectedly causing unsafe conditions.ford dealer could not replicate the problem or find any fault codes.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle vibrated as the contact passed another vehicle. The accelerator pedal was engaged with force however, the vehicle failed to increase speed. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer four times and on one occasion, the catalytic converter was replaced. The failure continued after the repair was performed. The spark plug coils were also being replaced by the dealer. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 13,000.
The ecoboost engine ford introduced into the f150 (and other vehicles) in 2011 seems to be having common and widespread problems, including my vehicle. I first reported this issue to the dealer with about 30,000 miles and now again at 63,000 miles. The safety issue is revealed under any acceleration "event" such as highway merging, passing, towing etc.under acceleration the vehicle "chokes" and will not accelerate as the driver & passengers experience the vehicle stalling, shuddering or bucking. This is often described as the vehicle going into "limp mode" operating on fewer than all cylinders. The problems appear to stem from dysfunctional intercooler operation on this twin turbo engine. There are two different scenarios described in f150 blogs. One, most common, is that the cooling of the air via the intercooler causes condensation to accumulate inside the air intake. When the driver accelerates, the increase in air volume draws the moisture into the fuel delivery system and causes the engine to misfire, which the driver experiences as an engine stall, bucking or shuddering. The second scenario reported is that there is an overheating of air into the fuel deliver system which causes early detonation of the fuel mixture in the cylinders causing roughly the same symptoms. My vehicle repairs are costing me almost $700.00 - which would be more if i did not have an extended warranty. The dealer is replacing 6 spark plugs, 4 coil boots that have overheated and cracked, installing a new intercooler shield - none of which they are standing by as a dealer covered expense. Ford needs to be held accountable for this defective design for both consumer safety and financial reasons. Someone may be killed trying to pass or enter a highway as their vehicle suddenly looses power.
2011 ford f150 5.0 lariat, vehicle downshifted into 1st gear while on highway causing rear tires to lock up and slide offroad to stop. Was told was not covered under current recall for same issue even after all vehicle specs and built at same plant
Following two heavily laden 18 wheelers during a light rain storm for two or more miles on a paved, two lane county road, it came clear for me to pass, i accelerated and all went well for just long enough for me toget even with the first one in front of me. My momentum carried me far enough to pull back in front of the first truck. By that time i was in serious trouble. My truck would barely run, it was vibrating violently and there was no acceleration to get me out of the way of the truck i had just passed. Had he not braked hard for me there could have been a serious wreck. I've have had 5 other incidents with this vehicle. I've taken it up with fomoco, over a period the first year. Working through the oklahoma bbb i was assured ford would correct the problem.fomoco sent a texas rep to my work location to put the most recent fix on the vehicle. Following this fix, we continued into a dry spell, but as fate would would have it, i was in a heavy rain within the next 2 weeks and the problem reappeared. This time my wife was in the vehicle with me. She thought i had run over something because the action of the pickup was so violent.i've occasionally seen letters to the editor of motor trend's "truck trend". Other people describing the exact thing i've experienced driving this same type vehicle (early model ecoboost v-6, those built prior to april 2011, i believe).i have a huge file from the time when i was trying very hard to get this corrected, dealerships, dates, times, correspondence, ford tech bulletins, but i refuse to waste my time with you unless you contact me acting as if something might seriously be done. ([xxx], or e-mail, [xxx]). I have enough to prove my vehicle has serious problems and fomoco admitted it. A transcript of my meeting with them through the oklahoma bbb. It's interesting what they had to say. [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Just purchased my vehicle. Then take it in for service for rotors that's are shot with 25k on it. Find out the last guy blew the turbo chargers at 4000 miles n traded it in. The vehicle shudders from take off. Then shifts hard. Also shifts hard from reverse to drive. Noone wants to admits there's problems. Dealers keep says oh its ok. Not true. I want a new vehicle. I just got it. They can shove it. Losses power when it wants to. I plug a charger into the ports the radio goes static. I mean wtf .

Ford f-150 recall - 2011 f-150 transmission recall (nhtsa campaign number: 16v248000 (power train).been back to dealer twice for same, today the vehicle downshifted into a lower gear, driving on freeway at 62 mph."wrench" symbol appeared and transmission would not shift except from 3rd to 5th.dash disappeared too.
The trek has had the problem of the drivetrain locking up in a tight turn causing the trk to slide instead of turning a corner. Really dangerous in winter driving or wet conditions. Also the rear drivetrain chatters when starting out from a stop which causes loss of traction in wet or snowy icy conditions. I could go on and on but this is a start. Have had the truck in at least six times with no results and lundgren motors in eveleth,mn told me ford wasn't going to fix it and i was welcome to take it to another dealer. This happens when vehicle is in 4x4 drive on streets in dirt grass snow blacktop cement.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While the vehicle was stationary, the gear shifter malfunctioned.

After experiencing my f150 doing periodic downshifts to 1st gear while driving on several occasions last fall, i started trying to research the problem.i found that there was a recall to fix a faulty output shaft speed sensor.but only for trucks made in dearborn or kansas city.not for mine.ultimately after deciding to fix this issue i learned that my transmission was now bad as a result of the several downshifts while at highway speeds, most likely...and the damage resulting from going from 6th to 1st gear sudden like.the fix...that just this month has been included in a new recall (#19s07)...would have been paid for if the recall was issued earlier and maybe i would be $7,000 better off today. ( i paid for a new tranny a few months ago. ).i just got off the phone with ford but got no sympathy or understanding....just a lady who re-recited what my recall letter stated. That if you are part of this recall, take your truck to a ford dealer after march 4th and they will reprogram the faulty part.but if you have already been victimized..you are out of luck.seems kind of unfair that they will only step up if you haven't yet had a problem.economics, for sure.i'm out over $7,000 because of a problem that they admit to. And their representatives who say they are authorized to take care of things, won't so much as give me another person or department to discuss this with. Send a letter, she said... Dang right i will.and a copy of my repair bill! thanks a lot, ford.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 50 mph, the check engine and wrench warning indicators illuminated and the vehicle downshifted into first gear. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the shoulder, shut off the engine, and called a tow truck. The failure occurred the first time in december of 2018 and worsened. The vehicle was taken to thoroughbred ford (8501 n boardwalk ave, kansas city, mo 64154) where it was diagnosed that the molded lead frame failed and needed replacement. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 102,000.
It is know that on most ford trucks that neutral safety module switch goes out and will not let truck start in park or neutral or any gear settings. With other power drive problems.
The most recent incident resulted in transmission having a harsh downshift to first gear causing vehicle to jerk and engine revs up. This has happened several times in the past including a few days before taking it in for the recall repair in 2019. ( recall 19v -075). This problem, according to ford, is due to intermittent failure of the output speed sensor ( part of the molded leadframe in the transmission). Two latest incidents occurred on a city street. Have had at least one occasion on an expressway where vehicle had very jerky transmission shift while in cruise control. Have complained about this to ford and took the vehicle in on two occasions( see attached invoices). The problem has never been resolved and no warning messages or trouble codes have been found during the repairs. Ford issued an extended warranty coverage ( program # 19n01) on may 2019 and my vehicle still qualifies. I took the vehicle in this week to request they replace the molded leadframe since the problem is still present. They refuse to replace the part because they say no trouble codes are present. I have found others on ford forums who say they have the same problem and they also have no trouble codes stored either. Ford needs to acknowledge that the lack of trouble codes does not ensure the problem is not present. I continue to have concerns that my family's safety and others is jeopardized by ford not agreeing to take responsibility and making the necessary repairs. They themselves say in the recall notice that "this condition could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash."

While driving in the city my vehicle down shifted and the wheels locked up on its own. I believe this is a transmission problem.
The vehicle shifts into 1st gear without warning at highway speed.it has happened 3 times in the last week and i have gotten no help from the dealership or ford motor company.
2 recalls exist through ford: 19n01 and 19s07.bought truck with 163,760 miles on october 12, 2020 with no mention of recall.recall notice received in january and very shortly began downshifting to 1st gear while driving at 55mph on a state highway!!!almost caused wreck.in order to get home, had to drive 25mph and slower on 55mph on same highway.called ford dealership and made appointment.vehicle had to be towed to dealership.recall 19s07 was repaired.they denied and refused to honor safety recall on 19n01.we were told we would have to pay $821 as vehicle was beyond 150,000 miles.in order to get vehicle in operational order, it had to be repaired.the downshifting is a major safety hazard; the mileage should not effect a safety hazard on any vehicle because it is a hazard.date listed "when did this happen" is the day vehicle was picked up at dealership.
I am glad that we were not in a situation that we could have gotten killed because of the throttle problem.the first time we were driving down the road at 45 mph suddenly the accelerator would not respond, the engine was still running at a rough idle. We had to coast to the shoulder. Stopped turned off the truck, it was able to restart and the accelerator was working again. We drove to the local ford dealer. At the ford dealer they could not identify the problem. The second time this happened was when we were going 55 mph. Coasted to shoulder of the road and i was able to restart the truck and drove very carefully to the ford dealer. This time they were able to get a code reading of the problem. The code called for a recalibration. This was done. Drove the truck home thinking that it was repaired. The third time this happened was on the interstate traveling 75mph. Luckily we were in the right lane and was able to coast to the shoulder. Repeated same procedure as above. Returned to the ford dealer. This time they read the code(p2112) and replaced the throttle body and motor assembly. This problem with the throttle could have very easily caused a deadly crash. I feel that my wife and are very lucky as we could have been in a very serious accident.

Transmission will suddenly and intermittently shift from drive to low which causes and sudden down shift causing a very loud noise. I have had the truck into the ford dealership four times and the truck still downshifts without notice.this occurs on any city street asphalt or on a dirt semi improved road in motion. I am concerned because while towing a travel trailer the truck may downshift and cause the truck and trailer to jack knife injuring or killing the occupants ford has acknowledged problems but the final fix remains elusive. Ford should replace the eight speed with a new 10 speed transmission. A class action lawsuit should ensue.
Nhtsa campaign #16v248000 .... While driving on the highway, the transmission abruptly downshifts. The rpms will then begin fluctuating up and down causing the vehicle to shudder and lurch. The transmission then begins to slip around. The indicator shows it bouncing from 2 to 6 to 1.i took it to a shop and they hooked it up to check the sensors and it came back that the solenoids were stuck. They reset the sensors, but the symptoms began again not more than 2 miles down the road.
Transmission unexpectedly shifts into lower gear. Was informed by ford dealer in writing that i needed to replace the lead frame assembly. Brakes fail on cold start. Vacuum pump replaced by dealer. Brakes still experience issue (as described in ford's campaign) was informed by ford that there was an issue with the brake booster.

Backed out of driveway and it would not shift into drive. Screen went blank to indicate gear.very loud noise when it finally shifted into gear after several minutes. Dealer repaired and said it would be under recall. It took a couple of months to get parts and dealer said not to drive on highway.
3.5l ecoboost engine failed to accelerate after a brief rest area stop while raining. Attempted to rejoin highway traffic on highway on ramp but engine shuttered and lost all power nearing causing a collision with a semitruck. I had to pull over on to the hard shoulder and restart engine to get vehicle to operate properly. Vehicle was received back from ford for the 5th time for this exact same issue 1 week prior. Cac was changed again to the newest version, cac shield was installed and newest programming was installed. All tsbs for the 3.5l have been done trying to eliminate issue with no success. Live data showed engine load of 99% and 3 psi of turbo pressure at time of failure.

I recently discovered that there is a problem going around with ford in their transmission 6-speed transmissions automatics in years 2011 to 2014 i would like to know if my vehicle is on this recall list so i can take it in for service and would like to know what is the usual scenario regarding repairs to this problem
There is a recall on the 2011 ford f150.however,my vin is not the one affected.even though it is the same transmission and year.i am having the exact same issue being described in the recall and on the forums.i drove the car after it was left for 36 hours and it downshifted after going 25 mph.i coasted back into a parking lot and turned off car and restarted, with the same issue.it eventually gave me a maint error (yellow wrench)i had to have it towed home.after it was shut off overnight if was fine the next day and no error code. I had a mechanic put a scanner on the truck and he could not pull the error code.i have used it sparingly for 3 days without an issue.i am just worried, it will happen again at any time or cause an accident with someone plowing into me when it downshifts.this could be a major problem if i am on a highway and it happens. I called ford corp and they said since i am not on the recall per my vin (even though it is the same year 2011 and transmission) so i am on my own.i have it documented with ford and the dealer. Now what, just wait?nhtsa vehicle safety recallsrecall number16v248000recall date04/27/2016componentpower train:automatic transmissionsummaryford motor company (ford) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 ford f-150 trucks manufactured august 19, 2011, to march 9, 2012, 2012 ford expedition, lincoln navigator vehicles manufactured august 19, 2011, to december 19, 2011, and 2012 ford mustang vehicles manufactured august 19, 2011, to february 21, 2012. The affected vehicles are equipped with an automatic transmission that may unexpectedly downshift to first gear, regardless of vehicle speed.consequencean unexpected downshift into first gear can cause the vehicle to slow down suddenly without warning and the rear tires may slide or lock, increasing the risk of a crash.
The 10-speed 10r80 automatic transmission that is located in many f150's is defective asit can shift harshly and erratically at very high speeds, causingvehicle control loss and causing accidents. The vehicle will often jerk, lunge, and cause loss of control as sometimes it will stop engaging. Ford dealers are hesitant to repair the part and negligent when it comes to the safety of the drivers. Often not blaming it to the faulty transmission but other 'non related faults' that have occurred in the transmission, hence not providing free repair.
At 68,000 miles while driving 65 mph the truck goes from 6th gear to 2nd cause the truck to shutter and jerk at a high rate of speed and loss of control in rush hour traffic. The rpm's spike to 7000 as the truck tries to get back into gear. I also experienced going from 1st gear to 5th gear while starting out leaving me stuck out in traffic because it doesnt have the rpm's to get into 5th gear. After the 1st experience of this happening i took my truck to the west herr ford dealer where i bought it. The service department couldnt duplicate the problem so there was nothing they could do. Over he next month this happened several more times this time with the kids in the truck so i took it back to the dealer however this time i was able to capture a video of my instrument panel when it went from 6 to 2. The dealer agreed there was a problem but couldnt duplicate it so nothing they could do. I tookit to another ford dealer who sent my video to the factory. The factory indicated they have never seen the problem. There recommendation was to go part by part and no guarantee of the problem being fixed. I took my truck to a transmission shop and they indicated that there is a known problem with the 2011 ford transmissions. I had to have the transmission rebuilt as a result of the dropping gears. The solenoid in the valve body was defective causing the transmission to have gears jump. After getting the truck back i experienced the same problem. As it turns out the replacement solenoid from ford was faulty requiring it to be replaced.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the transmission failed to shift without warning. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (tallassee automotive, 1618 gilmer avenue, tallassee, al, 36078) where it was diagnosed that the lead frame wiring harness to the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was currently being repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.
My f-150 supercrew 4x4 with ecoboost engine began misfiring on hard acceleration situations, such as merging and changing lanes on the interstate. After approximately 2 months, the issue has gotten worse to the point of misfiring under normal acceleration. The jerking from the misfire condition is quite violent, and i believe to be unsafe. This is a known issue related to the design of the trucks intercooler. Condensation builds during prolonged highway driving, particularly in humid climates. I am in arizona, but i drive 50+ miles a day on the freeway. The nhtsa dropped their investigation of this unsafe condition, apparently agreeing that ford's tsb was sufficient in dealing with the matter. My truck is not under warranty, however it exhibits a design flaw that is unsafe. How is there not a recall on this? disappointing.
I purchased the vehicle on 07/30/19. On or around 08/01/19 the vehicle was jerking and the check engine light came on, so inotified both salesmen at the dealership immediately by text message and photos.chris indicated that the truck needs an oil change. So i had the oil change done immediately after the text message.two or three days later, the truck jerked again.i called chris and informed him that the truck was jerking again.chris indicated i take it to have it checked with an odb2.the truck obd2 indicated that the truck had a problem with camshaft sensors. From the parts store i drove to the dealership and showed the results of the obd2.chris indicated that he would discuss the issue with jesse to see if they could help get this problem resolved.within two to three days i returned to the dealership that jesse could test drive the truck.when jesse test drove the truck, it did not jerk and the check engine light was off.jesse indicated that he and the dealership could not help me because there was no evidence or codes to indicate there was an problem with the truck.jesse, chris and pete the mechanic indicated that the truck would be safe to drive.on or around the 08/20/19 i was in the hospital and my husband, jose, indicated that the truck was jerking.on or around 08/26/19 i personally went to the dealership and spoke to chris and let him know the truck was still jerking.chris indicated that he would speak to jesse.that same afternoon, i received a text message from chris.he indicated that they could offer labor and parts to fix the truck. But then continues the text indicating that it would cost me $200.i went personally to the dealership and indicated to jesse and chris that this was unacceptable because the truck began jerking two days after the day of purchase. I need this resolved.please help.
While driving on i-20 from dallas to lubbock, i attempted to pass a vehicle in the on-coming lane. When i hit the gas pedal, the truck went into vigorous shaking, and the engine lost all power to accelerate. I was three hours into the trip, the truck had been cruise controlled for over 60 miles, and it had been raining the entire way. When the truck did this, a vehicle (in on-coming lane) appeared and i had to slam on the brakes to return behind the car i attempted to pass. The shaking of the truck made it difficult to control and i had to pull over in fear of my safety, and ultimately my life. Had i not acted when i did, i might have been seriously injured or killed. Dealerships are unable to replicate the problem because it has not been the same conditions as my experience. This problem needs to be fixed before someone gets killed.

I have a ford 2011 fx4 ecoboost.whole truck started shuddering as i was getting onto the southwest freeway.check engine light was flashing and vehicle had loss of power.was able to coast and drive slow to the next exit where i pulled into a gas station and turned the engine off.i started the truck again and it seemed ok but the shuddering happened again on the way home and this time the check engine light stayed on.took it to the dealership where the code was pulled and they replaced the catalytic converter.same thing happened to me (shuddering and loss of power) again at 30k miles 3/4/2013 where this time they replaced a ignition coil and spark plug.and a third time at 34k miles 4/27/2013 and it is back in the shop today.when this happens it is very dangerous driving on the freeway when you cannot get the truck to drive without shuddering and jerking anytime you give it gas.something needs to be done before anyone gets hurt.the dealership so far has been fixing whatever the code states, however there is a underlying condition that is causing this to happen that needs to be addressed.

Upon returning home from work, i parked the truck in the driveway. The next day, i went to the truck to go to work and the truck had rolled back and partially into the street. When i got into the truck, it was in park. When arriving home from work that evening, i again parked in the driveway, placed the truck in "park" and when i took my foot off the brake, the truck rolled back in a jerky motion. I now have to park in my driveway using the emergency brake, to prevent the truck from rolling back into the street. The distance the truck rolled back was approximately 4 feet and it seemed to happen slowly enough that it wasn't noticeable until the next day. This happened the day after new years 2016 and to date, i haven't addressed the issue through the dealership.

Hi, while going out to dinner on friday evening 8/31/18. My 2011 ford f-150 was running fine... Stopped for a traffic light... Light turn green as we were going around 35... 40 miles per hour on a straight part of ct10 all of a sudden the truck went from running fine to it going into a skid while still accelerating... It was crazy!!!! good thing i was wearing my seatbelt i felt that it would have sent me thru the windshield!!! i pulled over to the side of the road wondering what the hell just happen!?!? since i was within a mile from home i decided to try and make it home... As i started on my way the truck didn't want to come out of first gear so i pulled over again thinking of calling triple aaa to gettowed ... After sitting on the side of the road for minutes with the truck turn off i decided to try it again since i was so close to home... Well i wassuccessful on making it home safely!!! today is monday 9/3/18 labor day without having a truck to depend on... Tomorrow i will be bringing it to my local ford dealership where ipurchased it.... I need help to get this truck back to running order...

During acceleration to pass another motorist, truck exhibited multiple misfires causing truck to lose power and trigger the sel light. After that, the truck would not accelerate and was actually losing speed on the freeway. My truck now coasting, i had to maneuver my vehicle through traffic going much faster than me, to the right shoulder where i had to eventually shut the engine off and start it back up again. Truck then idled very rough and i preceded to exit the freeway because i didn't want to be in that dangerous situation again.

There is a major problem with the driveshaft. It's coating wears off which causes it to get into a bind when you come to a stop or from a start. Feels like it is hung up in between gears. Ford recalled f150 raptor and fixed it but the regular f150 they didn't recall and it has the same driveshaft. There are numerous videos on youtube call the slip yoke clunk if you need to see what it is doing.
Molded lead frame and oss replacement.i was not notified of the molded lead frame recall 16n02.i experienced the electrical issue described in the recall in my driveway.my dashboard lit up like a christmas tree and would only drive in first gear.i drove to a mechanic that was closer than the ford dealer and was off of back roads so i could drive in first gear.i paid for the repair.i recently received a recall notice 19s07 which is for programming the oss sensor.i asked to be reimbursed for my repair and i was told no by crescent ford & trucks.they said 19s07 is for programming only.i believe ford should reimburse me for the lead frame, connector, automatic transmission fluid, and the speed sensor.
I was driving at highway speed, and accelerated rapidly to get out of the way of a merging car.the truck shook violently and lost power.i pulled to the side of the road and restarted the vehicle.there was no "check engine light" or any other indicator of a problem during the incident, or after restarting the truck.when i took it to the dealer, they indicated that they found nothing wrong with it.i have driven the truck since then wondering if it would happen again.now i see that others are experiencing the same issue.kistler ford in toledo, ohio will have a record of this service appointment on 10-21-11, as i have a copy of the service document stating the above.although i have no way to prove it, the truck has also seemed to have less power since this incident.

Purchased my f-150 used (private owner), had 8k miles on it.at 10-14k, i've notice when starting off and coming to a stop, there's "jerking" coming from the rear of the truck.just this pass weekend, i pulled a trailer, a 70 mile round trip, with no "jerking" issues however, once the trailer was removed and i went back to normal driving, the "jerking" started to appear...again.trying to gather info before heading to ford.
Event occurred 3 times over a period from 27 oct 13 to 21 nov 13, decelerating while towing a trailer. Speed varied all three times from a high of about 60mph, to a low of 45mph. Message center would turn orange and display a wrench symbol, while the engine discontinues producing power. After pulling over, simply turning the vehicle off, then restarting, everything appears normal again. Two ford dealers "found no codes", and were unable to further diagnose the issue. The second dealer attempted to collect data via an onboard computer as well, but the event wouldn't repeat while the device was installed, nor was i towing during that time.one of these events occurred on a two lane road with no shoulder available. Traffic had to stop until i restarted. Dangerous at best. The third even occurred going up a one lane freeway flyover. I was able to coast past the bridge structures and onto the shoulder, however, this occurred during rain, and multiple other vehicles had to make accident avoiding maneuvers, including tractor trailer rigs. Very dangerous.i have replaced the vehicle.
When driving at slow speeds (ie parking lots) the transmission downshifts into first gear with a very large "bang" noise. This problem is very intermittent. Ford has issued a recall (16s19) which was performed on my vehicle by the local ford dealership, but it did not resolve this problem. I returned to my local and they keep clearing the transmission's computer in the hopes of relearning my driving habits. This was done twice since the recall was performed, with no improvement.
While driving the speedometer goes to zero. The odometer displays just dashes. The engine power is reduced significantly. I pull over and shut the engine off, remove the key and then restart the truck. Then it drives normally until the next time it happens.
Traveling freeway speed, inside lane, sudden and complete loss of engine power, orange check engine (wrench) appears on display. Got to roadside, appeared to go into limp mode. Truck moved at own (slow) speed, i had zero throttle control. Exited freeway, shut down and restarted, issue gone. Road conditions were wet, sleet, de-icer on roadway. With traffic all around, on slick roads, this was some scary stuff right there!
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle shifted from sixth gear into first gear without warning.

Transmission is getting stuck in 1st gear. The speedometer is not working when this happens. The vehicle is not showing any mechanical problem lights on the dash. The truck s a supercab lariat limited 6 speed 4x4, awd. It is not showing up on the recall list vehicle has almost 90,000 miles
Loss of power brakes upon initial start-up and movement. The vacuum pump that provides assistance to power brakes and 4x4 wheel hubs fails without notice. Driver expects to stop vehicle under normal operating pressure applied to brake pedal. Vehicles does not respond to normal force and keeps moving. Extreme force to be provide to brake pedal to slow vehicle to a stop. This could result in injury or death if another person in the path of the vehicle. Ford will not recall or cover repairs of faulty pump. Pump is located behind front headlight on vehicle. Cost of part is $565 + labor to repair to be paid by owner. Serious safety concern for persons near vehicle without proper operation of braking system. An investigation needs to be opened immediately upon ford. Understanding is that ford redesigned vacuum system for 2014 model year to correct safety issue. Redesign should be mandated on previous model years to correct safety issue.
Truck started to shake violently when accelerating. Felt as if the wheels were loose or the u joint for the drive shaft was going bad. Had to let off the gas. Has been ongoing from the time i purchased the vehicle to present time.

When attempting to pass a slower moving vehicle, i moved into the left pass lane and pushed on the gas, the truck began to shudder violently, lose power, and the check engine light came on. I took it to the dealership where i bought it and they did the intercooler fix. After that the problem continued. Check engine light came on, took back to dealership, they told me it was a spark plug, replaced it, on the drive home same problem, engine shudders violently, loses power, goes into limp mode, and check engine light either flashes or goes solid. I have had this problem since the day i purchased the truck new from the dealer.
Vehicle shifts hard when not under power. When under power vehicle backfires,mis fires, loses acceleration completely. Have brought vehicle to deal 4 times and have been told there is nothing they can do. There is black sut on the exhaust. I do not feel safe driving in the vehicle if it cannot accelerate or will just completely shut off.

The contact contacted cedar city ford (1010 n main st, cedar city, ut 84721; (855) 782-4508) who repaired the lead frame and replaced gaskets inside the transmission. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and filed a case. The manufacturer informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in any recalls, and referred the contact to nhtsa. The approximate failure mileage was 167,000.
Vehicle's slams into 1st while driving. There is a recall on this issue, but dealership says ford has stopped their initial fix. Apparently their fix is not working. Not able to get timeline on when ford will come up with a solution for this. Does not seem safe to drive, but i need a vehicle. I can't get it repaired so now i'm in limbo with no vehicle. Feel helpless.
On the night of dec 20, 2013, i was traveling south on i81 north of syracuse ny. Road conditions were not very good.a block of ice fell off a truck ahead of me, evasive action was not possible due to ice and traffic volume.the ice struck the alternator which is cleverly positioned about 10" off the ground on the lower left front of the vehicle. The vehicle began to lose electrical power system by system. I cant recall the exact sequence, as it was all happening pretty fast. Eventually, the electric power steering system lost power. When this happens on this vehicle, you lose all steering capability. Its not like its just manual steering, there is no steering other than the ability to slightly alter course by pulling extremely hard on the wheel. The vehicle had no lights, the shoulders were unplowed, stopping wasn't a good idea. As good fortune would have it, the cicero ny exit presented itself at that moment. I was able to pull extremely hard on the wheel and was able to steer the slight curve. At the bottom, i discovered i had no breaks. I shot across the usually busy ny 31 and into a kwikstop, where i stomped on the emergency brake and came to a stop. We shortly discovered a fire underneath the engine and were able to extinguish it with snow.i cannot believe a steering system like this is permitted. Had i known it had this system and its limitations, id never have bought the car. If my son and i had been killed that night, it would have all been chalked up to road conditions. In furious about this system. It needs to be recalled.....now.
My truck has downshifted out of no where twice this week.i took to dealer they said it isn't part of the ford recall but it's doing exactly what the recall is for. Instead i got charged $200 for a transmission fluid change and on the way home it downshifted again by itself. Fords recall number is 19s07 for this problem. Luckily for me and my family no one was by us when this happened for i was on a state route going 45mph when my truck slowed down to about 10mph out of no where.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle would downshift hard unexpectedly to first gear. The contact experienced the failure numerous times. There were no warning indicators illuminated prior to the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (campbell ford, 400 n 20th st, ozark, mo 65721), but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign number: 16v24800 (power train), but the vin was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified and case number: 14223874 was opened. The failure mileage was 145,000.
On 1 april 2017 at approximately 12:00 pm the vehicle was merging onto the highway when a loud thud was heard and the vehicle suddenly began to decelerate.the operator applied pressure to the gas pedal and noticed the rpms on the tachometer reach approximately 5k to 6k with no acceleration, as if the vehicle had shifted into neutral even though the console showed 6th gear.the operator removed pressure to the gas pedal and gradually reapplied pressure to the gas pedal but rpms again reached 5k to 6k with no acceleration.after approximately 10 to 15 seconds of coasting on the highway the vehicle regained normal acceleration.this seems to be a transmission issue that has the potential to result in a rear-end collision at highway speeds.the vehicle had approximately 91,000 miles and the weather was 36 f with mixed precipitation at the time of the incident.the operator notes that the vehicle's transmission was replaced at approximately 89,000 miles after previously reported nhtsa complaint number 10970618.the transmission had been serviced once subsequent to its replacement for a hard shift between 2nd and 3rd gear which was reportedly resolved by the dealership with a software update.prior to this incident, the vehicle had still been experiencing the hard shift between 2nd and 3rd gear.
I was driving around 50mph and experienced sudden downshifting, almost causing an accident. This vehicle was previously recalled for this exact problem, but all they did was update software rather than fixing the real issue: the molded lead frame. They are well aware of this issue and this part should be replaced on every affected vehicle before they experience this problem rather than after.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to crank and start intermittently. On several occasions, the contact had to wait a brief moment before the vehicle would restart after several attempts. In addition, when the gear was changed, the gear indicator would not display on the instrument panel. Also, the "prndl" illumination failed to illuminate. Long mcarthur ford (3450 s 9th st, salina, ks 67401, (785) 823-2237) and the manufacturer indicated that the vehicle was excluded from manufacturer campaign number: 12c123 and nhtsa campaign number: 12v190000 (power train, exterior lighting) due to the mileage. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer provided no assistance. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 145,000.
Rain, misty, wet conditions. 2011 ford f150 ecoboost. Went to pass on two lane straight, flat highway. Accelerated in to left lane. Upon rapid acceleration vehicle immediately decelerated and lost power. Let off of gas pedal and tried to accelerate again. After pause vehicle came up to speed and i was able to pass safely. If someone was right behind me, trying to pass slower vehicles as well, they could have possiblyrun in to me. Ford has placed it's ecoboost owners in an unsafe condition.
We drove the vehicle 6 hours with the air conditioner on.... Parked it - started it again about 2 hours later.the vehicle revved very high, barely chugged as we drove and then the yellow "wrench" light came on - indicating transmission issues as well as a "limp home" mode.we were unable to drive the vehicle at that point and had to keep it parked.... After doing some research - we discovered that condensation had gotten into some sort of condenser and caused the eco-boost engine to misfire and essentially malfunction.
When it gets cold the truck will go into reverse and not into drive. When trying to go to park, all the dash indicators do not light up and the check engine light comes on. After shutting off the truck and restarting it a few times, the p0705 and p1702 codes are on and i drive it home. The next day i take it in to the dealer and codes are gone and no history either. Nothing to be done as the codes i gave them are not on truck anymore. This has happened4 times already to date within the last month.
I got a recall letter. Recall #19s07. I took my truck to ford dealership, they reprogrammed the module for the powertrain on 6/19. My extended warranty ran out 11/30/19. On 12/21/19 i was driving on the highway and i had my cruise set at 67 mph. All of a sudden my gauges stopped working and had a tool show up on dash. Then my tires started sliding and it downshifted. I almost hit another car.i pulled over as soon as i could and stopped my truck. I restarted my truck and all the gauges were back to normal.i drove it for 2 days without any recurrences.i think reprogramming the module is only a temporary fix. Now everytime i drive it, it will down shift. I drove 35 mph and returned home and had to keep it in low speed.so apparently the reprogramming is not a fix. It is still unsafe and now i have to pay to have it fixed properly so my vehicle will be safe on the highway. Eventually more people will be killed because it was not fixed right. Ford should be made to pay for there defects.not the consumers. I almost had a wreck because ford is trying to fix there mistakes the cheapest way out, not the safest.respectfully submittedan unhappy ford owner
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to reverse from the gear shifter several times, the instrument panel failed to illuminate for the gear in reverse, there was no illumination on the gear shifter, and the gear was difficult to change in reverse. Prior to the failure, the instrument panel lights illuminated for the gear shifter when changing gears. The failure continued to randomly progress. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 51,250.
As a result of the unwanted transmission shifting recall issue, my truck has experienced damage causing permanent transmission damage.dealer claims that ford has only authorized a computer update; their unwilling to repair the resulting issue until ford give authorization to do so.when i contacted ford the representative said ford is only authorizing computer update, despite the fact that the faulty program has caused damage to the transmission.
It starts shuddering, shaking and rapidly losing power while accelerating.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle downshifted in the middle of traffic, decelerated and lost power. When the contact applied more pressure to the accelerator pedal, the engine shuddered and the vehicle hesitated violently. Also, the check engine and multiple unknown warning indicators illuminated. Afterwards, the vehicle returned to normal; however, the failure recurred the next time the vehicle was driven. The vehicle was taken to rodeo ford (13680 w test dr, goodyear, az 85338) where it was diagnosed that the computer needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer and was informed to drive the vehicle two hundred miles. The contact complied and the transmission failed again. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer a third time where it was determined that a tune up was needed. The contact performed the tune up himself and the vehicle failed again. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and did not assist. The failure mileage was 171,600.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving various speeds above 30 mph, the transmission independently downshifted into first gear. As a result, the vehicle abruptly decelerated. The cause of the failure was not determined. Candy ford (403 lansing st, charlotte, mi) and the manufacturer were notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 68,000.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While shifting from reverse into drive, the transmission became stuck in fifth gear and the vehicle would not accelerate properly. In addition, the service wrench indicator illuminated. While driving in reverse, the reverse lights would not illuminate and the back-up camera would not display. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (sanders ford, 1135 lejeune blvd, jacksonville, nc) where it was diagnosed that the transmission range sensor and transmission lead frame were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The contact was informed that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 12v190000 (power train). The contact indicated that the vehicle experienced the same failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 134,000.
While trying to pass a vehicleon the highway my truck started to sputter and loose power, the check engine light came on for a few seconds and went off. This problem is happening every day now under all conditions.there are numerous complaints on this problem and no real resolutions.
Wile driving,the vehical will down shift with a loud bang. On a highway the trans will go betwine 5&6 gear. Now the it went from 6 to 1 gear , sending the vehical ,all over the road. The people at ford dealers think it's funney. I do not think so they know i need a new trans, i did not hit know one. Thr vehical is home.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while reversing, the transmission failed to shift into gear as the engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician made the contact aware that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 12v190000 (exterior lighting , power train). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was mileage was 15,000.
My truck was reprogrammed for the sudden transmission downshift issue. It is still occuring.after numerous calls to ford i was told the dmv would issue recall notice. How can they if ford won't send the correct information? the downshift delete also affects the downshift when in tow haul mode, so that it will not downshift to assist in braking. I need my truck's transmission to be fixed so that it will stop downshifting when trying to accelerate . This is dangerous when merging into traffic.
While traveling on a city street,my truck suddenly downshifted into a lower gear (3rd) causing the truck to suddenly slow in traffic.transmission would not change gear after that.if i had been traveling at a greater speed or on a highway it may have caused my truck to lock the wheels and my have caused an accident.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that whenever shifting from first to second or from third to fourth gear, the transmission shook violently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician was unable to determine a remedy the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 15,406 and the current mileage was 21,500.
Driving at 65 went to accelerate on highway felt loss of power followed by a shudder then flashing engine light. It is a ecoboost
Traveling at 50 mph i had a sudden down shift from 6th gear down to 1st gear.the back wheels locked up causing a skid. The line of traffic behind me suddenly had to break for me. Fortunately there was space for me to pull to the side. I feel that this is a safety issue that should be taken care of by a recall.
Transmission shifts from 6gear to first all buy itself while driving at 60mph causing the transmission to lock up the tires.
When driving vehicle, it does not shift into 2nd or 3rd. This happens on city streets and highways.
Truck will be driving at speeds of 50 mph or higher, and the speedometer will wave back and forth and drop to 0.transmission tries to compensate and downshifts drastically causing a very hard shift and slow down in traffic.then the speedometer will go back to normal speed.very easily could be rear-ended in a heavy traffic situation.have taken to two different ford dealers over the last month who say the same thing, that it should receive a molded leadframe replacement, but my vin is not listed in the recall (16n02).my vin matches the same year, make, model, manufacturing plant, and manufacturing dates with the recall.i understand that there may be different parts, but it is my firm belief that some vehicles were left out of the recall.even when ford employees are saying the fix is the same as those issued in the recall.very big safety issue, and to charge someone $1,800 when it should be replaced for free, is beyond sad.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 50 mph, the vehicle shifted into first gear independently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the failure was undetermined. The dealer was not contacted. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 180,000.
2011 f-150 pick up has had 3 episodes of suddenly downshifting to first gear in highway speed & in town. Nearly caused an accident. Exactly as described in recall (16v248000), it has been towed to the dealer; absolutely unsafe to drive. Ford customer service told me it would not be included in the recall. Dealer wants $1400 to "fix" the problem.
I have a 2011 f150 with just under 44k miles. Took the truck in for a set of front brakes and was advised that there was a small leak not exactly sure where it was coming from.within less that a week the engine was not engaging took it back to the dealership they advised that i needed a new transmission as there were no fluids in it. Needless to say i was quite surprised as we had just topped off all the fluids in the past two weeks. Not real sure about this, but i had a new transmission put in picked it up upon leaving the dealership i had another problem the steering seemed a little tight ended up taking i the truck back to the dealership the advised that i replace the electronic power steering assy and program module to vehicle. I wasn't too sure about this so i had the vehicle towed to the dealership that i normally deal with as the current one had terrible customer service and was unwilling to contact ford on my behalf they said it was coincidence that this was happening.i have not had any problems with the truck in the past it has run perfectly.my guy at my dealership took the truck in and had to put in the power steering assy. This all happened within a period of 3 weeks and i had to pay for a rental car.
While driving at 55mph attempted to pass a vehicle on a two lane highway.accelerated hard to pass and heard a loud metal on metal sound and lost power briefly.i was unable to replicate the initial incident, but now the truck randomly misfires and shutters under hard acceleration. Sometimes the check engine light will illuminate other times it does not.dealer has been able to replicate the misfire but claims they can do nothing more. This is a safety issue because when power is needed most it is unreliable.i have escalated the matter to the corporate level at ford but have not heard anything back yet.
While truck is running it suddenly jolts an downshifts to first gear. Then jolts again into gear. It takes a while sometimes for it to get back in gear and running. Does it randomly but more and more often. Mechanic serviced transmission said it was fine. Feels unsafe to drive
Loss of power while traveling 800 miles from home. Problem has continued and worsened. The turbos now do not spool up and the truck runs on 6 cylinder power alone. Currently parked in my driveway. Will not let my family drive it due to safety concerns.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 70 mph, with the vehicle in sixth gear, it downshifted into fourth gear without warning. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (lugoff ford, 979 us 1, lugoff, sc 29076) and was informed that the vehicle was driving as intended. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and stated that the vehicle was not included in any recalls, but provided an extended warranty. The failure mileage was 76,400.
While driving at any speed (70) mph the transition will down shift into low gear causing the rear tires to skid, engine rpm to spike. This happens without warning and if on wet or snow-covered roads you would not maintain control. I feel this needs to be a ford recall before someone is killed from loss of control or getting rear ended by a semi caused by the sudden stopping of the affected auto.
2011 ford f150 traveling at 65 mph straight down the highwaythe transmission seemed to slip out of gear and thendown shifted to first gear causing the wheels locked up and loss control of the truck and ran off the road into a dry ditch. Research show a safety recall for this exact problem. Safety recall notice16s19/nhtsa recall16v-248. Ford motor company say my vehicle is not covered in this recall.also fords info for this recall states that 2011 f150 built at dearborn plantbetween the dates of february 11 2011 to september 8 2012 are covered in this recall. My vehicle falls into this category but is not covered. If i were to have been on a heavily traveled road this could have cause a seriousaccident
Transmission randomly downshifted from 6th gear to first and locked up the rear tires.
Misfire - shifting issues in transmission.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving at 50 mph, the vehicle independently reduced to 15 mph without warning. The vehicle was restarted and the wrench warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000. Ma 10/25/15
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle independently downshifted from sixth to first gear without warning. As a result, the rear end of the vehicle seized. The contact mentioned that the failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure was unable to be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 64,000. Updated 03/16/16*lj
Driving on highway at 70-75 mph, transmission self-shifted from 6th gear to 3rd gear.damaged the transmission and differential, both requiring repair.vehicle was difficult to control whe downshift occurred.could have caused collision.
My vehicle fits the exact description of a previous ford recall for 2011 f-150 with an output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame that needs replacement. Previously and before the issued recall, my vehicle abruptly downshifted, shut off, and would not restart. I had the vehicle towed to the ford dealership where it was inspected and nothing was found wrong. They claimed that the computer just needed to be reset and were more than happy to charge for the incurred labor time.more recently, my f150 has failed to start on several occasions. After several repair attempts and a starter replacement, the ford dealership now tells me it is the sensor on the vehicles lead frame and that the entire thing needs to be replaced.i searched for the issue and found the recall that matches my issues as well as my truck's make, model, year, transmission type, and manufacture location. However, my manufacture date fell a few months outside of the recall manufacture dates.calls to ford left me with 2 options: pay roughly $1000 repair bill and wait for them to file the issue and get back to me or leave with an unsafe vehicle while the issue is resolved (hopefully).
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 63 mph, the vehicle downshifted and then shifted back to the original gear without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (two rivers ford, 76 belinda pkwy, mount juliet, tn 37122) where the technician informed the contact of nhtsa campaign number: 16v248000 (power train). The vin was not included in the recall. The manufacturer informed the contact that if nhtsa did not attach the recall to the vin, then nothing could be done. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 40,000.
When accelerating onto the highway the power shut down and the engine shaked violently and the engine light came on.afterword i could not speed up pass 50mph.i pulled over let it rest for 30min and the engine light stayed on and i was not able to do any aggressive accelerations and could barely make it up hills.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle downshifted into first gear on its own. Additionally, the vehicle shifted uncontrollably up and down and the rpms increased. The contact called pettijohn auto center (1301 s 25th st, bethany, mo, (660) 425-2244) and midway ford truck center (7601 ne 38th st, kansas city, mo 64161, (816) 455-3000) and was informed that diagnostic testing was needed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The contact stated that the failure was similar to nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The failure mileage was approximately 113,000.
First incident: after driving in the rain for a couple of hours, trying to accelerate out of a toll booth - the vehicle started to accelerate then suddenly lost power. It began to shudder and flash the engine light. After about a minute, the issue cleared up. Dealership pulled code then performed a tsb which installed a shroud over the cac. Incident two one year after first repair: same scenario as first incident - pulling out of a toll booth after driving in the rain the truck lost power and engine light flashed. A minute later it recovered and resumed normally. After an argument with the dealer (they could not pull a code), they ordered and installed a new cac and shroud. Incident three two weeks after second repair: pulled out to pass a slow moving vehicle. Truck lost power as it did in first two incidents. Engine light flashed then remained on steady. Had to abort the pass. Vehicle is returning to dealership pending diagnostics. There is an obvious defective design in these vehicles that could potentially result in a serious accident. Imagine pulling out of a toll booth in front of a tractor trailer truck and loosing all power to move. Not good. The value and safety of my vehicle is compromised. It needs a definitive fix or replacement.
Clunky transmission at start of acceleration and when coming to a stop.happened at about 40k miles.under warranty dealer removed drive shaft and greased splines.same thing happened at 90k miles.this led to total transmission failure at 92k miles when the sealed transmission began to lose ability to properly downshift.transmission had developed leakduring long trip which was not detectable.transmission temperature read normal throughout the driving even when trans failed.vehicle service on transmission is not until 150k miles and vehicle has no dip stick to check level or quality of fluid.now i'm stuck with a $5k bill to replace transmission with a rebuilt unit.i get that it is no longer under warranty but a design that has no way to check fluid and a design that requires greasing the drive shaft spline to stop binding of shaft to transmission should not be allowed with no recourse for the consumer.
I have 3 issues to report: 1. The oss output speed sensor manufacturer recall number 19s07 in november 2018 i was sitting at a red light i went to go when the light changed and the truck felt like it was going to stall i tried to get to the side of the road and then the truck seemed to go into gear and seemed fine no warning lights or anything 8 hours later on my way home from work the powertrain malfunction light came on wrench light i stopped and had it checked codes 0720 and 0722 came up output speed sensor i took it to my shop where they gave me the technical service bulletin and told me to take it to a ford service center which i did they ran another diagnostic and said they found the transmission lead frame faulty and charged me $1526.00 and now i find out there is a recall for this issue.2. Tsb15-0061 windshield wipers continue to operate in low intermittent whenthe switch is in the off position. Installed new wiper/multifunction switch twice and still have the problem.3. The same time my wipers started acting up my horn stopped working both when you push down on the horn switch on the steering column and when you go to set the alarm. I asked the service mechanics about this and i was told it could be the (bcm) body control module ford is recalling some bcm in ford f150 but doesnt show up when i put my vin number in.
Upon acceleration my truck shifted roughly sputtered and shut down, then the wrench showed up and i had to drift to side of road.this has happened 3 times.they have done a computer update 1st time, no luck, replaced a loose pin,no luck, replaced computer , no luck, replaced crank shaft sensor, no luck.this is aserious safety event. Two times my truck stalled and shut off while merging onto an extremely busy highway. I have children that ride in my truck and i do not feel safe. I have opened a case with ford but all they want to do is keep fixing it.44,000 truck , transmission stinks and i want a refund.someone is going to be seriously hurt or die due to this problem.
After completing a required recall, my truck speedometer and odometer 'zero'd' out while in motion.this occurred multiple times, most recently while on the freeway.when it occurred on the freeway, the back wheels felt like they locked up.i pulled to the side of the road to check for flat tires, as that was my first thought.all tires check out ok.i turned the vehicle off and turned it back on.this caused the speedometer and odometer to return to normal functionality.i returned the vehicle to the dealership as i thought that the new update may not have been successful.the dealership advised that the software update process was successful and could not be redone.i read a couple of internet blogs of where other owners had the same type of issue.if the update caused other faulty parts to be exposed, i understand.however, the vehicle should not lock its tires while in motion, especially at freeway speeds as this is a serious safety issue.the picture that is attached is when the issue first occurred.the same indicators occurred the second time, when i was driving on the freeway.
P0705 transmission range sensor input failure. Ford says there are zero recalls on this vin ever.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the transmission made a strange noise and the vehicle jerked. When attempting to switch from reverse to forward, the front tires spun and the rear tires seemed to be locked. The vehicle failed to switch gears. The dealer was notified. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission sensor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vin was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000. ...updated 12/14/16 updated 12/20/16.
Began to notice rough shifting a lower speeds (30 - 45) at about 12,000 miles. Over time it became more pronounced and feels like the engine is lugging at this speed. The transmission causes a shudder when shifting up or down as if the transmission is having a problem getting into gear.left the truck at the dealer for 3 days and they told me they could not replicate the problem.i think the streets they were driving were so rough that they couldn't feel the shudder.i was told that it may be a problem the computer is having synchronizing the fuel system and the engine rpm's. Don't know about that but the problem still exists at 20,000 miles now.
When accelerating the vehicle transmission slips into a lower gear, downshifting improperly causing a bump in the ride and a danger in clean acceleration. This issue occurred multiple times and is a contributing power train issue.
I seen that there was a recall for transmission mine has been dropping gears while driving then after you will here it sleep really bad from shifting
I often can not turn on the car due to the "p" parking light not turn on. I do not know if it is some sensor that has an intermittent fault. I already went to ford autonation - margate, fl and they did not find the problem, but i've been suffering from this same defect for a long time.
My ford f150 eco boostlost power suddenly while trying to enter a rural route at a stop sign.while trying to accelerateit just died for several seconds and then took off since i was pushing on the accelerator wondering what had just happened .the vehicle has been shuddering a lot on acceleration now with asubstantialloss of fuel economy . I have personally had it at two ford dealership which say they can find no problem with it , but shop foreman told me and my wife we where stuck with it and to fix it by pulling the battery cable off every once in awhile.
This has happened numerous times.while driving down the road at high speeds the vehicle automatically shifts into first gear causing a rapid slow down and difficulty controlling the vehicle.i took the vehicle to the dealer numerous times for this action telling me there was nothing wrong with the power train.to date there have been many esb's on the vehicle and i was not notified of the many issues occurring with this model even though i took it to a qualified ford dealer.now that the warranty has expired i am now being told all of these issues need to be fixed even though the problems were know prior to the warranty expiring.this is fraud on the part of the dealer and of ford corporate.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph, the speedometer needle began to swing and provided various incorrect readings. The vehicle came to a sudden halt and the rear of the vehicle veered. In addition, while starting from a stop, the vehicle jerked violently. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 54,000.
Ecoboost engine.loud clattering on cold start.runs very rough, exhibits propensity to stall when idling, and very sluggish acceleration coupled with transmission issues.example 1:coasting on the freeway with traffic around 40mph, shifted lanes, then made attempt to accelerate and pass another vehicle, but the vehicle did not downshift.accelerator will be down to the floor, and truck will remain stuck in a low gear (like 6th) and go nowhere...zero acceleration...after a few more tries, and a few seconds later, the transmission will slam into 2nd gear, shaking the entire truck.at this point, the turbos kick in and the truck takes off like a rocket.creates 2 dangerous situations, a potential rear-end accident by the lane change without acceleration, and then the sudden, rapid, unpredictable acceleration of being randomly thrown into 2nd gear.seen various other incidents like this in other scenarios and various gears.accelerating out of a traffic circle, or out of a turn, is an easy way to see the problem.truck has basically lost its ability to accelerate/downshift on demand.example 2:stopped at a stop sign.when i then proceed into intersection...acceleration is very slow, then all of a sudden turbos kick in resulting in rapid unpredictable acceleration.often times, the wheels will spin, and if the road is dry, the truck will bounce up and down all over the road!accelerator will in the same position the entire time.i have rapidly accelerated towards cars that i didn't want to get that close to.i now have to stay even further away from cars to maintain a safe distance due to unpredictable acceleration.frustrating, because the problem is frequent now, but inconsistent.i have 2 kids in booster seats, and now i have to be especially careful when i drive with them in this truck because i feel it's unsafe.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While operating the vehicle, the transmission downshifted hard and the vehicle jerked without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician made adjustments to the transmission sensor, but the failure recurred. In addition, while driving various speeds, the vehicle shook and vibrated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine cylinder coil failed and the cylinder battery pack needed to be replaced. Eventually five of the six cylinder battery packs failed and were replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 20,000. Updated 08/04/16*lj
Upon downshift during acceleration, the truck shudders, misfires, backfires through exhaust system, and loses power while creating a violent shake in the drivetrain. This occurs in below 35 dry or wet weather. This issue destroyed my catalytic converters, as well as broke loose the baffles in factory mufflercausing over $2,000 in repairs for exhaust. I further replaced plugs, and plug boots. The vehicle continues to have this severe issue, and the only way to keep from further damaging the vehicle is to pull off the road, and idle as well as rev engine for several minutes. It is extremely unsafe, and nearly caused other vehicles to rear ended me on at least 5 occasions. All of which i had to jump onto shoulder of road or in median to keep from getting hit. My research shows that this is a common problem amongst owners of this vehicle. I currently owe $22,000 on this vehicle, and am quite frustrated with the lack of a recall from ford. Solutions of a walker cac are known; however, ford is not willing to even consider paying for this fix. Please help in the resolving of this issue?
Not sure of name but send info from transmission so it will start. Lets ignition know vehicle is in park so it will start. My dealer tells me ford has over 4,000 on back order so it may be a while before my truck gets fixed.they have already had it for a few weeks and this is the second time in a month.i am paying $500 a month for something i can not drive due to manufacturer part defective or on back order.
My 2011 f150 fx4 has been acting up with the transmission. This has happened multiple times and the dealer is unable to replicate it. So far they have changed all of th coil packs, reset the transmission, changed all the spark plugs in a hope that was the issue. Well it's not. The truck lunges forward with loud bangs and grinding noises. Rpm's go up and down and the truck sounds as if i downshifted from 6th gear to first. Then i can only go 40 miles an hour with high rpms. Engine lights have lit up and now a wrench. This is crazy my gauges don't work this is dangerous.

While towing my camper at 60 mph up an incline my 5.0l f150 began to lose power, as i increased pressure on the accelerator the power to the vehicle decreased even more.the service engine light came on and i limped up the hill at a whopping 20mph on the interstate.once on the downgrade the vehicle came back up to speed and the service engine light went off.the truck continued to have power issues and a knocking from the motor when i was climbing hills.i took the vehicle to the ford garage and they told me there were no codes to tell them what was wrong.the vehicle still has the apparent miss and knocking sound at certain rpm's and now has an issue starting for the first time of the day.i again took it to the ford garage when the starting issue was happening and they told me again that the vehicle still had no codes to explain this problem.i tried all of the easy fixes but the vehicle still has the same starting and power loss issues and ford can not tell me what is going on with my vehicle.my best guess is a catalytic converter issue, but i can do nothing about it until i know for sure.

The first time this happened, my husband was pulling out into a center turn lane in order to merge with traffic and the motor cut out and bogged down. Just four days later, i had the same experience where the motor completely cut out while i was going through a yield sign, slowing down, and then getting on the accelerator to increase speed. I counted between 3-5 seconds before the truck started accelerating again. This is very dangerous and had someone been right behind me it could've been a bad wreck.it happened to me this first time right after i picked my truck up from the dealership and them telling me my vin didn't qualify for the tsb with replacing the cac (intercooler) and adding the air deflector plate.i have since gone to a second dealership and they are performing the tsb for me after having my truck for 5 days now, and being able to reproduce the problem easily. I hope this fixes it. I've already had a check engine light come on and my driver's side catalytic converter was replaced. I've had numerous leaks all under the 36,000 mile warranty - front main seal, transmission leak, rear diff leak, and even some deteriorating rubber gaskets in the doors, and am seriously questioning ford's quality these days.

Ngine was racing wide open with tachometer pegged way beyond the highest number listed.no warning, no check engine light, nothing. I was able to exit and stop in a park and ride lot and call my wife.i was extremely shaken and afraid to continue drive.she agreed to pick me up.i was able to limp back to my office at 15 mph but was scared to death.this had never happened before and only after a fix that was supposed to prevent this from happening.i believe damage may have been done to the rear-end, transmission and engine not to mention my hip and shoulder are sore and painful from the seat beat locking.it honestly felt like i had been rearended! i will not return to that dealer as i feel they will cover their mistake and not be honest about what damage was done to my vehicle based on their mistake.a complaint will be fled with ford motor and the national highway transportation safety adminisratation as well as the consumer protection agency.i have lost all confidence the truck and honestly feel i can never drive it again.i won't even drive it to a shop at this point. The recall fix caused this accident to happen and has caused damage to my vehicle.if the computer logs data i welcome an investigation to see what the computer says has happened.

Our ford f150 has manifested several dangerous factory malfunctions as other vehicles with the same make, model and year. There are at least 4 ford recalls / customer satisfaction program extensions that our truck should be entitled to but isn't. We need help with getting ford to cover the cost of repairing our vehicle under at least one of the following recalls:' recall number 16v24800 power train automatic transmission' recall number 11v582000 power train automatic transmission' recall number 12v190000 power train: auto trans: control module (tcm, pcm)' recall number 10v659000 structure body (internal short / fire hazard)' customer satisfaction program warrantee extension 16s19we are forced to keep our truck off the road until we can afford a few thousand to replace the powertrain control module software, lead frame and possibly transmission. The truck spontaneously shifts into lower gears when driving at about 20-55 miles per hour. This causes the truck to hesitate in the middle of the road when driving. It simultaneously makes a 'honk' sound. There were a few occasions where the truck shifted into park when i hit the breaks or it shifted into reverse when i intended to go into drive. Clearly issues with the transmission and the vacuum pump pose serious safety hazards to our family and other people. We would greatly appreciate help in getting ford to extend some of the manufacture warrantees and recalls to our ford f150 so that we could return to using our family/work truck safely. We thank you in advance for any good advice or help that you may have to offer.

Crossing table rock dam on dry, flat, level pavement after letting off gas in anticipation of stopping at upcoming light rear tires locked and went into skid squealing brand new michelin tires with less than 500 miles on them.nobody was directly behind me or would have caused wreck due to sudden deceleration with no brake lights since no brake applied.tires squall like old vehicles with no abs when brakes locked up.an employee was riding with me at the time and it scared both of us.had we not been out of town and dependent on truck getting us home we would have not driven it again.after returning home truck did it a second time a couple of weeks later driving in town down stadium blvd at about 35 mph.rear tires lock, skid and squall.in addition earlier intermittent hard downshifts that feel like someone hits you from behind but not a full lock condition as these two recent incidents.also intermittent stalling when pulling away from stop light, stop sign, out of parking lot, or out of driveway - especially after idling.stalls, hesitates, bucks, vibrates, giving it gas does not result in vehicle responding.usually on "easy" acceleration meaning when just easing off from stop.intermittent transmission sticking in 1st gear and won't shift out.finally vehicle sometimes "surges" after putting in gear on cold start or when letting off gas and coasting - it actually picks up speed and lunges forward for just a second.there is something wrong with all the sensors and the computer is causing the engine / transmission / abs brakes to behave in strange and unpredictable ways.my father, wife, and employee have all witnessed one or more of these issues while riding with me but intermittent so unable to replicate.ford case opened but no resolution.tell me drive it until it breaks so they can find problem but unsafe to do so.
My 2011 ford f-150 pick-up is shifting very hard from 1st gear to 2nd gear.the hard shift causes my pick-up to lurch forward abruptly. It also shifts hard some of the time when it shifts from 2nd to 3rd gear. I took my pick-up to our local ford dealer, and they recommended a transmission update for $100.00 not covered by the extended warranty.
Truck lost all fluid from transmission. Ford replace seal in transmission after sitting at dealer for nearly 3 weeks.since that time, i have made multiple complaints to local dealer about engine stumble on hard acceleration.dealer replaced air deflector per ford service bulletin. Truck still stumbles on hard acceleration. (06/01/2013) current mileage 40,900.
The truck on its own downshifted to 1st gear while driving on the freeway at 65-70mph. The check engine light came on.this happened 3 times.the obd error code p0720.the dealer could not find anything wrong with it and returned it without any updates to the software or replacing the speed sensor.

Down shifting of the transmission
Driving on i95 traveling at 81 mph, truck suddenly downshifted hard to around 30 mph almost causing me to be rear ended by a semi. Wrench light came on, speedometer went to 0 and odometer reading went to all dashes. Was able to get to side of interstate. Was told there is an extended warranty on this problem established in 2016 with my year truck but was told because my truck was made in march of 2011 in kansas it would not be covered. If it was made in detroit in march of 2011 it would be covered. Outrageous. After research, i find this is still happening on this model and year of ford f150. Accidents have occurred and are still occurring but i can get no response from ford as to why this is not being fixed under this extended warranty. I want someone to know before a death occurs if one has not occurred to date.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle began to shake and the speedometer and the gear shift indicators fluctuated violently as the vehicle decreased in speed. The vehicle was restarted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 53,000.updated 02/12/16*ljthe consumer stated the vehicle was repaired. The transmission was the cause of the failure.
Loss of significant power under slight to moderate acceleration, engine shutters violently, shakes and miss-fires. Check engine light flashes. Engine seems to run on 50% power loss, letting off accelerator for awhile then engine seems to recover temporarily until additional power is needed. Unable to have any confidence to pass any vehicles on grades. Quite possible for complete power loss under full acceleration as the engine misses so bad that it actually slows down and looses rpm's. I have owned this truck since new. Symptoms started in dry climate, no rain and have continued to get worse as i have entered into rainy areas with humidity.
When u go to put truck in gear it makes a loud noise and doesn't have power and check engine light comes on.also brakes go to floor at times
My truck is equipped with the ecoboost 3.5l engine.twice now i have attempted to accelerate and had the truck lose power and shake violently, creating a very dangerous situation.the first time was attempting to pass another vehicle. Weather conditions were warm (75 degrees f) with light rain.i pulled out to pass and attempted to accelerate when the truck suddenly acted as if the gas was shut off.it then began to shake and shudder violently as if the rear axel was being ripped from beneath it.i was able to fall back behind the vehicle i was attempting to pass, out of the way of oncoming traffic, and pull to the side of the road.after shutting off and restarting the truck, it seemed to run normal.the dealership service tech inspected the truck and stated it is a problem ford is aware of (in wet conditions), but has no fixes.the second time i was attempting to enter the interstate from a rest stop into a single lane construction zone.the weather was cool (45 degrees f), dry and sunny.i attempted to accelerate to enter the highway and the truck acted as it did on the first instance.i was forced to pull off of the lane between two large construction pylons in order to avoid being struck by a tractor/trailer.the supplied dates, mileage and speed were from the most recent incident.
After receiving recall 19s07-19v-075 by mail and having it reprogrammed by crater lake ford medford,or the transmission shifts worse than the original. My vehicle was manufactured at georgia plant. 3.7 flex fuel. I was in cruise control going down a mountain pass with my foot on the brake and the cruise control failed to disengage and then abruptly shifted to a lower gear. The cruise control works flawlessly on most grades. The problem only seems to occur when during on highways in the mountains. 39k miles. Way too many light bulbs have gone out on this model.never off-roaded . Not a work truck. Never even towed anything. Since that downhill cruise control problemoccurred, now i have an antifreeze coolant leak at the expansion overflow tank on the 3/4 quick disconnect hose . Vehicle has never overheated. Low speed high rev before shifting into 2nd gear. Cruise control problem only on highway going downhill. Did they mistakenly reprogram my f150 with wrong recall?
After cranking the vehicle, i put in in reverse. The check engine light came on and it did not want to back up. Fearing that i would damage the vehicle i had it towed to the dealer. It was pulling a trouble code p0705 for the transmission range sensor. There is a recall on this (12c23) for ford f150's for certain 2011 through 2013 models. I was told that my vehicle was not included in this recall because it was made 4 months before the recall years. My ford was made in 4/11. The recall started for 8/11 year vehicles. My truck is the same year, make, model, and has the same engine and transmission as the recalled vehicles and it should also be covered in the recall. This does not make any sense at all to exclude my vehicle. I have the receipt from the dealer that cost me $907.36. The tow bill was $140.00. I should be reimbursed from ford for all this.
Driving 80 mph on toll road service light come on for a second and went off dropped into 5th gear truck speedometer read 0 mph pulled over turned off truck started back up ran fine until i got home
Transmission jumps in and out of gear with no apparent relation to vehicles speed or throttle position. If the transmission decides to drop into 1st at sufficient speed to lock the drive wheels this is terrifying and inherently dangerous. Ford knows this condition exists on 6r80 transmissions but seems unwilling to widen the recall. Maybe someone needs to die before they address this. Its a miracle this hasn't lead to a loss of life incident yet.
The ford f-150 with a 6r80 transmission was down shifting while drivingi it. Had to have it repaired by ford. They said there was no recall on this transmission. Ther has been trouble with this transmission.several times the alst 2 years
My 2011 ford f150 3.5 l ecoboost has suffered a problematic output shaft speed sensor issue (error code p0722) where my truck will suddenly downshift to 1st gear. The speedometer shows me going 'zero' and the odometer shows dashes instead of the mileage.a couple times i was going highway speeds when the downshift happened causing a lot of concern for my family's safety! i researched this and learned there was a recall for this problem but only if the truck was manufactured in dearborn or kansas city, which mine was not. (tsb13-6-8) my mechanic now tells me that this problem has grown, that i now need a new transmission.he quoted me $7,500 to fix this.i don't have the money but don't have a choice but to get it fixed. If this problem was only in the two fore-mentioned factories, then why did i suffer the same issue?that makes no sense.i suspect the problem is more widespread then just trucks from dearborn or kc....i need help, ford!

For the past couple months, i have been dealing with my truck downshifting on its own.the first time it happened, i was going 60 mph and it seemingly went from 6th gear down to 1st or 2nd making the truck feel like it had hit something and lost power.it didnt happen again for a month and a half and now happens more and more often.diagnostics show it may be a output shaft speed sensor issue.i contacted ford and they said there was indeed a recall but mine was from the wrong factory and was not included.same issue as everyone else, but my factory didn't get included?convenient for ford, it seems.i have spoken to several mechanics and no one really wants to take it on, it seems...go see a transmission shop one guy says... Frustrating and rather scary when it happens at highway speeds.i am wondering if more trucks should have been included in the recall.tsb 13-6-8. ?

As i was merging onto the highway, i had to accelerate to avoid a semi who was approaching in the right lane.i hard accelerated, but the truck started shaking and the check engine light began flashing.i had lost all acceleration and was forced to put my flashers on and merge to the break-down lane to avoid being run completely off the highway.the truck shook violently while in 6th gear and i had to manually shift to 5th gear to stop the truck from vibrating apart.less than 10 minutes later (while driving down the highway in 5th gear) the check engine light turned off and the truck was able to be shifted back into 6th without any vibration.this lack of acceleration is extremely dangerous and has happened more times than i can count.above was only an explanation of the last occurrence.the truck has been serviced (under warranty) where issue was discussed with ford, but they were unable to "reproduce" the problem...
Issue started again on 10 aug.2013.whenunder mild to heavy acceleration (such as merging onto interstates) the engine develops a significant miss and shudder.vehicle was repaired once on 20 mar. 2013 under tsb # 13-3-3. Weather does not appear to be a factor.the "miss" was so severe with a k&n air chargerhigh-flow intake kit installed that i had to reinstall the stock system.this was a none issue eventually because the ford dealership would not place the vehicle on diagnostics until i had reinstalled the stock kit.
Hello, i just had recall # 16v248 performed on my vehicle (ford recall # 16s19) (performed on 11/15/2016).i drove the vehicle to work this morning (11/16/2016) and experienced the exact same symptoms outlined in the initial recall.i am going to reach out to the servicing dealer (eby ford out of goshen, in) and ford to find out what my next steps are.the vehicle will suddenly downshift into first and slow the vehicle down at a very fast rate.i have to then put my hazard lights on, pull over, turn the vehicle off and start it to get it to come out of first.this happened to me three times in less than a 20 mile commute.
My transmission is not considered in the recall of other similar models.i have spent $2,000 to fix this issue that is already identified as an issue.when the company should be replacing the defective parts.transmission solenoid have been replaced now the lead frame failure issue along with the codes identified in other recalls.

While trying to accelerate at high speeds, such as passing on an interstate or accelerating up an incline, the truck shudders violently and engine light flashes. If driver maintains speed, engine loses all power and engine light stays on. Loss of power at highway speeds is deadly.i was almost rear-ended while trying to accelerate up a hill in busy highway traffic.truck shuddered and lost power for 5 seconds.the truck coasted until i could apply power again to the engine.applying power caused more shuttering, but engine did not lose power again because i was closer to the top of the hill and not as much strain on the engine.

Vehicle experiences rough idle on cold starts, lunges when in drive and hesitates on quick take off, dealer indicates that codes indicate that the transmission pump is failing.vehicle has 35,000 miles and has been owned less than 60 months, yet the dealer indicates that a transmission pump is not covered under the manufacturer's drive warranty.a transmission is undoubtedly an essential part of the drive train, failure of this part at this level of mileage is not acceptable and the manufacturer's failure to cover this essential repair is unacceptable
I drive a 2011 platinum with the 3.5 l eco junk when driving on the highway the truck looses all power and shakes and doesn't want to shift up when accelerating hard it will stick in 3rd or 4th gear at 70 mph and when it finally shifts it takes off fast and hard these trucks with the ecoboost are junk and they should just recall the whole truck considering ford can't figure out how to fix there problems
I own a 2011 ford f150 eco boost. This truck has started hard shifting up and down in my trasmission. Taken to the local ford dealer and cost me around 80 bucks to tell me they can't find any problem with the diagnostics. Driving it they tell me i need another transmission which will cost me 4700.00. What is the problem with ford lately???? i don't have this amount of money just lying around!!! i need my transmission fixed. There is a recall on 6r80 transmissions but when i talked to someone they tell me it's not on mine!! this is entirely unacceptable!! if one has a problem then all of them should be recalled to have this problem fixed!! who do i have to call to get some answers??? i am 62 years old and don't have a butt load of money to repair this truck. My question is, is the ford company going to? or did i need to buy a chevy next time??? all of this happens when driving the truck.
While vehicle in motion, started to lose acceleration and jerk, lost all power while driving uphill on major road in traffic and indicator panel displayed wrench. Per owners manual appears to be transmission failure and truck is in 'limp home' mode, will need tow. Truck is 2011 ford f150, lariat with v6 ecoboost turbo. Mileage is only 64k, truck is lightly used, has never been driven hard, otherwise in excellent condition.
2011 ford f-150 raptor supercab; <12,000mi, happening since new.at slower speeds, when transmission is allowed to shift up to at least 3rd gear and back down for a slow maneuver and/or stop, under normal re-acceleration conditions (normal- <2000rpm), as vehicle accelerates and shifts from first gear to second, it will seem to presume a 1/2 to 1 second "neutral" state, revving rpm's prior to engaging second gear with a very abrupt and pronounced "slam" shaking entire truck. Symptoms can be slightly alleviated or avoided by letting off accelerator prior to shift, allowing to coast up to second gear through self power at idle rpm. Not feasable for normal every day driving conditions.appears to be caused by lack or sudden loss of hydraulic pressure.
While drivingit down shifts from 3 to 1, codes are p0705 and p0016. These should fall under the factory recall for 15n05 and 19n01 but ford refuses to cover it. Truck not only downshifts but also clinics into gear from park to drive or reverse.
Transmission lead frame needed to be replaced, however, was not included as part of the recall of 2011 f-150 lead frame.apparently, the transmission "number" is different from the recalled version, however, since one transmission was recalled, not sure why all 2011 models were not included in the recall.we were forced to incur out of pocket costs which would have been covered in a recall.while driving vehicle, service engine light appeared and the transmission temperature appeared on the dash screen.truck would not shift out of 5th gear and had to be towed to dealer who replaced lead frame.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle would shift out of the intended gear inadvertently. The contact stated that the vehicle would eventually shift back into the correct gear. The contact stated that the wrench symbol displayed on the instrument panel. The contact contacted speedway ford located 1710 n expy, griffin, ga 30223, (770) 229-1600, and was informed that there was no open recall on the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure was related to the nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 106,000.
Transmission would begin to make the vehicle, engine would rev up, transmission would down shift unexpectedly.after vehicle had been turned off, when it was cranked back up, it wouldn't go into reverse from park.
The vehicle just doesn't accelerate without hesitating.
I bought this vehicle 12/2011 with 19,800 miles on it (it was manf. 12/2010, sold in orlando,fl in 01/2011 and traded in 10/2011 and was used as a rental truck) as a certified pre-owned (cpo) from maroone ford margate fl. There was a problem that when i was driving at a low speed <5mph the shift between 1-2 would sometimes be real hard (engine @ 3000rpm+) so this dealer checked and 'fixed' it with greasing the 2 part drive shaft. They told me that the wrong grease was used when the vehicle was built and needed to use a new grease. This happened again around the end of 2012(around 35k miles) and maroone ford miami 'fixed' it again by greasing the drive shaft. Now it is happening again (8/2013) and this time they did not find anything wrong. It still happens and i am going to take my vehicle to a different dealership that is not maroone/autonation and see if they can 'fix' my problem. Also i am reading that now i am having problems with the drivers side lights rapid flashing but not the pass side or when the hazards are on so i googled and it seems that there are problems with the bcm (body control module) and that i have found is behind the drivers side rear seats on a super crew. The dealership (maroone/autonation) had not done anything to check if my vehicle was on a recall as far as i know and now i have to go to another dealership and also bring this up (and i doubt they would even know about it either). I was told by maroone/autonation that if anything is found to let them know. What? i have to pay to let their techs know their job? ford should never have done a 2 piece driver shaft with a slip yoke or quit with things like the mechanical flasher relays even with pwm/canbus. This now becomes expensive to fix and not everyone is going to go out and buy a new vehicle. Next time will be a toyota because they are driven in the deserts around the world, not fords.
I will be acceleratingfrom a stop position or cruising in town at 40 mph or on the interstate at 75 mph and my transmission will randomly slam into a lower gear causing my tires to occasionally lock up.my speedometer will simply stop working, my digital dash display will display dash marks instead of numbers and also display a wrench icon.then once i pull the vehicle over and turn it off for a minute, everything will return to normal.
Very harsh transmission shifting from 1st to 2nd gear
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate beyond 30 mph. The failure occurred on several occasions.the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing; however, they were unable to duplicate the failure.the manufacturer was notified of the failure.the approximate failure mileage was 48,000.
S19s07 / nhtsa recall 19v-075 is causing failure on transmission with no issues.i found online that my 2011 f150 was due for the 19s07 recall 19v-075 or the intermittent failure of the output speed sensor (oss). This recall has to do with the automatic transmission and "an unintended downshift into first gear can cause an abrupt wheel speed reduction, which could cause the rear tires to slide until the vehicle speed slows down." i have driven and owned the truck since brand new and it had 16 miles on it. I've never had a transmission repair or problem out of it since i've had it. However, not wanting to risk having an issue, i took it in to the local dealer for this recall, they then updated the powertrain control module with software to prevent this. I received the truck back and drove it home. The following morning, i started the engine, pulled the column shifter into reverse, and the orange light for the shifter dial on the dash disappeared. Nothing happened at first and then it suddenly slammed into reverse. The shifter light never lit up until i put it back in to park and the orange shifter light reappeared. I then pulled the shifter lever down in to drive and again, the orange shifter light on the dash disappeared and the transmission did not go into gear for a moment and then suddenly slammed into drive. Again, with no signal on the dash that it was even in a gear, drive, park, etc. Took it back to the local ford dealer explaining the situation and a day later they called to tell me that the transmission has a faulty transmission lead frame connector, would not be covered under warranty, and would cost me close to $1,000 to be repaired. I refused the repair that was now going to cost me caused by the recall and software update. Again, the truck had no issues before taking it in to bill utter ford for the transmission recall and software update.
I have a ford f150 ecoboost. This vehicle is very defective due to loss of power when driving on highway trying to overpass other vehicles..vehicle looses power due to moisture or humidity that enters the intercooler. It also makes the cylinders to misfire and the turbo. Due to that engine turns on and i have to power to my vehicle while driving which can cause an accident due to a sudden slow in the middle of the highway.. I have three kids and i wouldn't want any accidents happening due to this.. Ford needs to do something about this vehicles i lost my money on a worthless piece of you know.im very disappointed because i've spend so much money on repairs are not working.
I own a 2011 ford f150 that was under a transmission recall that was very serious in nature:16v248000 -ford motor company (ford) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 ford f-150 trucks, 2012 ford expedition, lincoln navigator, and ford mustang vehicles. The affected vehicles are equipped with an automatic transmission that may unexpectedly downshift to first gear, regardless of vehicle speed.i had this recall performed and ever since, i've had transmission issues.the transmission does not respond as it should.the truck takes off very slowly as it accelerates (very dangerous in traffic).on top of that it has shifting problems.the dealership (eby ford in goshen, in) has been no help whatsoever.now, on top of not getting this taken care of, i now have another issue with the vehicle (that's also been an ongoing problem): 'field service action number: 15n05.my vehicle has 152,xxx miles on it and they're saying they can't cover this because it's over 150,000.i need help getting this vehicle in a a safe driving condition so that i someone doesn't end up seriously injured or dead. Please help!these things occur while the vehicle is being operated.there is only one option below for "when did this happen?".i selected today, however, this has been an ongoing thing since the original recall was performed (mentioned above).
The truck is having the transmission molded lead frame issue. Today my wife was driving 75 on the highway when it downshifted into first gear causing the tires to lockup. Prior to this, it has happened multiple times but at lower speeds. The gages will jump all over with speed and rpm. The gears would also jump all over. I posted a video on youtube. Https://youtu.be/df0db7rampi this has happened most days since the initial occurance
Truck will not go into reverse and throws a code reflecting an issue with the transmission range sensor. The issue began shortly after i had the dealer address a safety recall 19s07; which has to do with a failure of the output speed sensor. As the vehicle had shifted into first gear unexpectedly. There is a compliance recall 12c23 dated may 30, 2012 which addresses the exact same issues i am experiencing:' transmission will not engage into reverse gear' electronic transmission prndl indicator does not display reverse (if equipped)' back-up lamps are inoperative' intermittent rear video camera operation when i contacted ford, they verified my truck was manufactured in may 2011; which was before the terms of the compliance recall covering the period covering october 2011 - february 2012. Yet my truck is having the exact same issues reflected in the compliance recall. I believe this should have been covered under the compliance recall 12c23. As it is the exact same issue i am experiencing and was manufactured a few months before the recall date range and was manufactured at the same manufacturing facility listed. Ford did open a file and issued a case number but i believe this is an issue nhtsa should be aware of.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The contact took the vehicle to tommy vaughn ford (1201 n shepherd dr, houston, tx 77008), but they were not able to complete the recall repair because diagnostic codes: p20, p722, and p731 did not appear during the diagnostic test. The contact stated that the vehicle was showing a p75 diagnostic code, which indicated the same part experiencing a failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and sided with the dealer. The contact stated that a generic warning indicator illuminated. The approximate failure mileage was 234,689.
There was a recall / extension of factory warranty for the 2011 f150 related to failings of the output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame.my truck has been diagnosed with failings of the speed sensor and the lead frame, and reportedly needs a new lead frame. The transmission controls have forced a downshift into first gear, causing a dangerous situation. The unit then goes into limp mode. This is a known problem by ford has happened to my unit several times.it has led to the recall of certain units: f150's built in the kansas city plant between 8/19/2011 thru 3/9/2012-mine was built in this plant on 10/2011 and should fall under this extended warranty / recall, but i have been told my unit is not included in this recall, which is puzzling.
I have a 2011 f150 truck it's saying power steering assist fault, service advancetrac, when i turn the wheel it makes a loud noice still drivable but dangerous. I have looked everywhere online there is recalls on this exact same thing just not on my vin for this truck but same year an truck has recalls. This is very dangerous an very expensive to fix your self . This is a ford default an they are not wanting to fix i'm willing to go through all levels to see to it they fix it.
Driving on highway at 70mph, i saw my speedometer momentarily drop to 40mph.it did it again about 15 seconds later, and downshifted to about 4th gear momentarily.about a minute later, still at 70mph the speedometer dropped, and the transmission downshifted to 1st gear!my rear wheels locked up, and i lost control, and fishtailed for a few seconds.luckily i had taken a half day vacation and was not in rush hour traffic.still other cars had to swerve to keep from being hit.the dearlership was able to reproduce the problem, and replaced a moulded plastic module made by continental that i think contained the transmission speed sensor.so it appears that when the transmission speed sensor signal is lost, the failure mode is to downshift to 1st gear no matter the speed of the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving various speed, the power control module suddenly downshifted from six to first gear. In addition, the rpms increased from seven to eight thousand rpms, which caused the rear wheels to lock up. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed nor repaired. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v248000 (power train) and stated that the part needed for the repair was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 86,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
I am having a shifting problem looked up vin on nhtsa and seen one recall and vehicle is doing the exact same thing described while in motion .nhtsa19v075 or manufactures code 19s07
While driving down the highway, truck downshifted while going approximately 70mph. I was able to put the truck in neutral so it did not do damage to the engine and so i did not lose control. A wrench light came on the dash, displayed transmission problem. Then wrench went away. Pulled over on the side of the highway, while in park, rpm's were sitting above 1500. Turned the truck off for a few minutes, attempted to cautiously drive again, ran fine for a few minutes and did the same thing again. Was able to get the truck to a ford dealership, they stated it was due to molded lead frame.
On 11/25/17 i was travelling on the highway at approximately 65 mph and the truck started bucking and downshifting. I was able to safely pull off at the next exit and park the truck and had to have it towed to a trusted repair shop. The truck was still bucking fairly violently even at slow speeds while i was trying to park it. The truck would also not shift into reverse. Repairs were performed and a transmission shift solenoid and harness was found to be faulty.
When driving, usually between 20-30 mph, my transmission will abruptly switch gears.when this happens, it is very loud and violently jerks the entire vehicle. This has been happening randomly since i purchased the truck in 2012 w/ roughly 9k miles on it. It feels like i have been rear-ended by another vehicle. On two separate occasions, i have had two differentpeople in my truck (unfamiliar with the issue), and when it happened, they instantly asked, 'did we just get rear-ended?'
While driving on the highway approximately moving at the speed of 60 mph the transmission automatically downshifted into 1st or 2nd gear. Causing my back tires to lock up. This occurred around 7:00 pm after the incident a wrench came up on my control center telling me to service the vehicle. I was able to drop the vehicle off at a ford dealership approximately 5 miles down the road. Within that short distance it was still downshifting randomly.
While driving, normal conditions, vehicle drops from higher gears to 1st gear. Rear tires locked up, speedometer went crazy. Checked code p0720. Happened multiple occasions. Latest incident, transmission made hard shift, speedometer, odometer and mpg indicator all went dead and the "wrench" icon appeared on the dash display. Read codes, came up with p0720 and p0722. After restarting, all gauges worked. Vehicle was drivable with caution. Researched recall notices, found 16n02 "molded leadframe extended warrantee", but it only covers f150's manufactured on certain dates at certain plants. My transmission is the same type and model number....6r80 as all f150 ecoboost made in 2011 and 2012. I called ford and they stated my vin did not show up under any recalls, and i was not covered because of "stipulations". I cannot comprehend that ford will only cover certain criteria, even though the transmission is the same at all manufacturing locations. If a transmission model is faulty, it is faulty regardless of where or when it was installed in the vehicle. I am sure i am not the only one with this issue, and find it disturbing that ford will allow these vehicles to remain on the road without them fixing them, or worse still, passing off the cost to the owners, many of whom cannot easily fork out the money or time to have them fixed at their expense. This is totally wrong and needs to be addressed as soon as possible. These vehicles with this malfunction occurring are not safe to drive.
2011 ford f150. Consumer writes in regards to transmission safety recall. *ldthe consumer stated the vehicle was not included in the recall but, experienced the same malfunction as described.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 65 to 70 mph, the vehicle abruptly downshifted and lost power. The contact stated that the wrench icon illuminated, but she was not sure if the icon illuminated while the failure occurred or afterwards. The driver was able to coast onto the road shoulder and then drove the vehicle home. The vehicle was taken to autonation ford wolfchase (7925 stage road memphis, tn 38133, phone: (901)-209-1257) where a failure code for the transmission lead frame was located. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v248000 (power train). The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
Returning home from a weekend camping trip with my family and pulling a travel trailer via i-81 in va, i depressed the accelerator approaching a long hill, and abruptly lost all engine and drive power, the engine shuddered violently, the transmission downshifted to lower gear and the check engine light flashed a few times.we had absolutely no power and i thought the engine was going to shut off.i was in the 2nd lane from the right and had to quickly move to the right lane then to the shoulder to avoid being hit from behind.this was very dangerous while pulling a 34' travel trailer.i had to pull the vehicle to the shoulder and stop completely to regain control.i had to put the truck in park and turn it off before it returned to somewhat normal drivability.while continuing to climb the uphill grade, the engine misfired and hesitated constantly.i could only apply gently pressure to the accelerator to keep the vehicle moving.once over the hill the vehicle picked up speed and returned to normal drivability for the remainder of the trip.the same exact problem occurred again a few months later while driving south on rt-4 in md with my wife, and not pulling a trailer.this time i didn't shut the engine off, but had to pull to the shoulder to regain control and engine power.as i continued on rt4 the engine misfired and hesitated several more miles.once at my destination i turned the vehicle off, then upon departure the vehicle operated more normal, but experienced misfire and hesitations several mile returning home.the next day the vehicle operated normally, but i took it to the ford dealership to have it repaired.this is a very unsafe situation and makes me very leary driving this vehicle on a normal basis.if i was accelerating while crossing the highway and this problem happened, there is a great chance of getting into an accident or causing one.
As i drive my f-150 as a daily driver and everyday it is the same problem. But as it snowed the other day i proceeded to the grocery store on a state highway and i was traveling at about 35mph with a 50 mph posted speed limit and as it downshifted unexpectedly i lost control and the vehicle spun around and ended up facing the wrong way on the road. Thankfully there was no other vehicles involved
I am having a safety issue with my vehicle. When i place the shifter into reverse or drive the vehicle does not go. There is a delay until it engages into reverse or drive, the check engine light comes on as well. When you drive there is a hard shift. I did some research and a lot of people are complaining about this. I did check the check engine light codes and the issue is the " transmission range sensor".i am afraid that while i am driving it will disengage from drive and put my life in danger.
While driving down the highway about 55 mph the vehicle will down shift and the odometer will die and drop to zero, most of the indicators will have dashes instead of numbers.the truck will automatically slow down causing me to have to pull off the road to avoid an accident.i then have to turn the vehicle off and remove the key from ignition and restart the vehicle up again to reset all the gauges.this normally happens within the first 10 miles of driving the vehicle.this would only happen on a few occasions now it is happening more frequently.there was a recall issued around the 1st of july 2016 but i was told the software fix would not be ready until the 3 quarter of the year.ford now wants to charge me $131.00 to diagnose the problem.i should not have to pay for it to be diagnosed if they already have a recall.i wonder how many lives will be in danger until the 3rd quarter update is available.
While driving on the interstate at 70 mph my speed information screen showed the wrenchand the transmission down shifted to a lower gear. I had to pull off the interstate and restart the vehicle after waiting a few minutes.after i restarted the vehicle the check engine light and wrench went out.subsequent problems have been the transmission will not shift out of gear and the information screen shows the wrench. My local mechanic said the following p codes were present, p0720 and p0722 and advised there was a recall for my specific transmission.when i called ford they said that even though my transmission was experiencing the same problems as those under recall my specific transmission was not on the recall list.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving 65 mph, the vehicle downshifted inadvertently. The vehicle abruptly slowed down and the contact pulled over. The contact turned off the vehicle and waited a few minutes and was able to continue driving. The vehicle was not able to be shifted into reverse. The contact called smith motor (309 forrest dr, brookfield, mo 64628 (660) 258-2267) and was informed to have the vehicle diagnosed. The power train control module was reprogrammed under nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The contact was informed that the lead frame wiring harness was on back order, preventing the mechanic from fixing the reverse failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 173,856.
Power train auto transmission controls module reset has already been done to car. When accelerating from 50-75 the transmission shudders and jumps. When you go up hill it's impossible to accelerate at all without the transmission shuddering. Engine light blinks occasionally.
The transmission does not register reverse gear.back up camera does not work consistently r does not light up over the course of two days, the reverse would intermittently register sometimes yes sometimes no, then it stopped registering reverse completely. The back up camera worked intermittently then stopped completely. R does not light up on the gears or on the dashboard screens. Vehicle was stationary, when stopped registering reverse altogether. Im in vero beach visinting so i took it to a local mechanic who told informed me of nhtsa campaign number 12v-190. I proceeded to the local ford to get the matter resolved but they refused stating that my truck is not up for recall for this matter. I called ford directly and they also stated that my vin number did not fall under the recall.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle independently downshifted into first gear, which caused an abrupt reduction in speed. Also, the gear would occasionally remain in neutral and would not properly change over. An independent mechanic was contacted. Months later, after the failure had been experienced intermittently, the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train), but the part was not available. Red mccombs ford (8333, i-10, san antonio, tx 78230, (210) 996-2678) was notified and a diagnostic appointment was scheduled. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown. Parts distribution disconnect.
The contact owned a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle hesitated to accelerate. The failure recurred intermittently at different speeds. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnosis three different times. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure. Additionally, the contact stated that the fuel gauge would not display accurate fuel readings. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The fuel sensor was replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 4,000.
While driving at about 45 mph there was a total loss of power. The engine continued to run but missing badly. Coasted off the road, stopped and when ignition was turned off and restarted the problem corrected itself. This has happened 2 times in the past two weeks. The dealer won't do anything because there is no error code recorded.this condition couldbe dangerous in heavy traffic or pulling a trailer.
From the time i leased my 2011 f-150 there has been constant problems with the transmission jumping or surging, almost like something impacted the truck from the rear.loud bang and what feels like the transmission downshifting.i have only had my truck serviced at one ford dealership and they could never find anything wrong, finally in 2017, after paying out of pocket for attempts at repair, did the dealership realize that it was a recall issue.the recall repair was accomplished without resolution.i have brought up the issue since, but i also understand that any further efforts will potentially be at my own cost.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 50 mph, the transmission downshifted without warning. The intermittent failure became progressively worse over a period of time. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v248000 (power train). The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis but not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000. .....updated 08/11/16
This vehicle was subject to a safety recall (19s07/19v-075) for intermittent failure of the output speed sensor (oss) causing unintended downshift to first gear.i had the dealer reprogram the powertrain control module as per the recall.this did not fix the problem.i have seen that a new recall was issued (19s19) for similar ford trucks because the original recall did not completely resolve the problem.unfortunately, this new recall does not apply to my truck.my truck still sometimes unexpectedly downshifts to first gear even after the initial recall repair work was completed.i am concerned that this will cause me to lose control of the vehicle.please investigate whether the initial recall (19s07/19v-075) completely resolved the problem (it did not in my case) or whether additional recall work is needed as with 19s19.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 55 mph, the accelerator failed to respond to acceleration attempts. Additionally, an error code (p0036) and the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact also mentioned that the vehicle failed to operate normally when driving in rainy weather. The vehicle was taken to a dealer but was not able to be diagnosed. The technician was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 3,500.
While driveing on a state rout started to pass a tractor trailer when from 65 mph in 6th gearit shifted to 1st great slid the rear tires thought i was going to look control slid the tires at first thought i ripped the rear end out got the truck off the road and settled my nerves shut it off was going to call a wrecker restarted it to get off the interstate and it shifted and ran fine had issues with it shifting for months finally took to a ford dealer and they found an issue with the transmission replace some electrical parts now it's fine seen an issue with other f150 wonder why my truck wouldn't be covered also when it would act up i would shut it off wait a minute then restart would be fine then every day it acted up till it scared me to drive it
It down shifts really hard for no reason. It happened the 1st time on 12-24-19 when i was doing approx. 30 mph and for no reason it just slammed down.then again on 12/28/19 again i was doing about 30mph.suddenly my dash display just showed dash lines and a picture of a wrench on it.about 10 seconds later is just slammed down again.i pulled over and shut the vehicle off for 60 seconds and then started it back up again and it was fine.the tranny also seems to be slipping on occasion
While in motion my truck suddenly downshifted, the speedometer went to zero and the wrench light came on. This happened a couple different times over the weekend and this morning the transmission downshifted into third gear and wouldn't switch up or down. When researching the issue it appears to be similar it the same as 19n01 lead frame issue but my truck isn't part of that recall according to ford.

Back in february or march of this year (2020), i took my truck to a local ford dealer for an estimate on a couple of different repairs and also for them to perform recall #19v075.after having my vehicle for 3 days they did not perform any repairs.and until today when i looked up my vin, i had assumed that they would have at least done the safety recall.but they apparently neglected to do that too.well, last night when i was about to pull into my driveway, my truck seemed to downshift abruptly and have minimal power and various lights turned on and off on the dash.then this morning, my truck would not start. It would only start in neutral, followed by extremely aggressive shifting into drive and reverse.aggressive enough to cause the truck to move a couple of feet even with my foot on the brake.this subsequent problem appears to be associated with fsa 19n01 that ford has associated with my vin.i suppose that it is unknown right now if the two problems are related.i will find out wednesday, as i have an appointment to take my truck back in. I just cannot believe that after having my vehicle for multiple days, they failed to perform the safety recall update as i requested.i am lucky that i did not experience the downshifting problem while at higher speeds!i am not sure if this is even worthy of a complaint, but i figured that i should pass this along. The dealership is van horn ford in oconomowoc, wi.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 4 mph, the vehicle shifted from first to second gear, which caused the vehicle to jerk. The failure recurred on multiple occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing and the boot was replaced on the transmission but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.
I took my f-150 in for the same exact symptoms of recall #16s19. They replaced the same exact part required to remedy the outstanding recall, but my vin was not covered. This recall needs to be expanded to cover further vin's since it is a larger issue than currently reported.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle independently shifted into first gear from fifth and sixth gear while being operated at 65 mph. All the warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an unknown local dealer where it was determined that this was a common electrical issue with ford vehicles. A remedy was not provided. The contact stated the vehicle operated normally until it was repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 16v248000 (power train). The manufacturer was notified of the issue and informed the contact that the dealers were independently owned and nothing could be done. The failure mileage was approximately 88,000.

Thank youthis happens thru out the driving of the truck
Output speed sensor (oss) failure (recall: 16n02). I was driving down a city street at approximately 45 mph, when the vehicle suddenly down shifted from fifth gear to first gear and then shifted back into fifth gear after approximately 10-15 seconds. Later that day, i was accelerating from a stop light when the vehicle felt like it had lost power and began to jerk when i pressed the gas. The speedometer stopped working, the info center displayed all dashes, the rpm's increased and the service advanced trac message displayed and the engine light illuminated. I had the codes from the engine light read and it came up as p0720 fault. My vehicle is experiencing all of the signs listed in the recall, but is not included. My truck was manufactured in the dearborn plant within the time frame of the recall dates. I have contacted ford and the dealership and they could not explain why. I have attached a pdf of the recall.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle would downshift into different gears. In addition, the speedometer dropped to zero.

The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 71,151.
Well i have an issue with my trucks i have purchased from ford.well in august of 2011 i purchased the new f150 with ecoboost.the truck drove like a dream for a while then i started having issue, with the transmission, then engine losing power.this happen about 4 time during the life of the truck.the last time was in january 2013, it was the last straw for me.the reprogrammed the trans/computer and put a wind deflector in the front of the intercool.still lost power on a road trip on the way back home from s carolina.mind you the truck was in the shop for tran/engine/the right fender had to be adjusted it was misaligned, the bed of the truck same thing.this lost of power almost caused me to have a accident because i was merging onto the highway.i also had to sunroof replaced as it was vibrating the whole truck when moving.the driver seat track was replaced and the sliding glass window in the back was replaced too.the defrost stopped then the window stopped sliding.i stopped driving the truck so i could get rid of it i have a 2013 limited and have some of the same issue.now that i have a new 2013 vehicle i experience some of the same issue.
Traveling at speeds above 50 when hard acceleration vehicle goes into limp mode becomes very dangerous have almost caused major pile up due to loss of power and total loss of vehicle control this vehicle and others like it are going to start killing people. All over the internet people are complaining about same problem and so far ford has not recalled these vehicles and that is very concerning. Please help before many people are killed.
As i was trying to pass a car the whole pickup started to shake, misfire, no power, was the first time i've had this happen what is the deal ford.
Just purchased used ford f150 supercrew with ecoboost engine with 26,000+ miles a week ago. I first noticed a shudder in the rear end when backing out of my driveway a couple days ago. Felt like driving over a washboard. Did not pay a lot of attention to it as i had not noticed it before. Went on 575 mile trip over the weekend and this shuddering persisted while pulling up to stops and starting out, both turning and going straight. Only occurs 65% of the time but the shuddering is very intense at low speed but appears to get better at cruising speeds. You can hear and feel the shuddering.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle would no longer accelerate. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 39,000.
Speed sensor stops communicating causing the truck to shift in first gear. This has caused the back wheels to lock up and could cause serious wreck. I need to have this fixed asap at no charge. This is a $40,000 truck and should not be having these dangerous issues. I hope this can be taken care of without contacting the news and my attorney
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 47 mph, the vehicle shuttered and the speedometer decreased to zero. Also, the wrench icon illuminated. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road, shut off, restarted, and driven to the contact's residence. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The vehicle was taken to autonation ford orange park (7700 blanding boulevard, jacksonville, fl 32244, 904-270-9943) where the technician reprogrammed the computer system. The contact stated that based on the manufacturer's customer satisfaction program (16n02), the automatic transmission mold should be re framed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vin was not included in the program. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 101,280.
Was driving at about 40mph when the vehicle suddenly dropped into 1st gear. The wrench light and check engine light came on. The speedometer did not work and had dashes displayed instead of numbers. After shutting the vehicle off for an hour, it was working fine after restarting. Check engine light recorded output sensor error.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 5 mph, the vehicle upshifted from first to fifth gear independently. The contact drove the vehicle home and then to chipola ford (4242 lafayette st, marianna, fl 32446). The dealer diagnosed that the vehicle was leaking transmission oil at the bearing housing and needed to be repaired. The contact also received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The dealer stated that in order for them to perform the recall repair, the oil leak had to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 154,000.
We have several of the ford f-150 with the recall of 16s19 but this one has experienced down shifting and coming to a complete stop in the middle of the road and almost causing a wreck several times to the point we have had to take it off the road for safety reasons. We have taken it to the dealership and was told that there is not a remedy for this problem and they do know when there will be one. We have called ford customer service and was told the same thing mean while we have a truck that only has about 83,000 miles on it that cannot be driven and it was not bought to be yard art. If ford cannot fix the problem they should at least give a loaner vehicle until they figure out how to fix it.
Loss of power while attempting to pass on three separate occasions.in all occasions i had to pull over and turn the vehicle off, let sit for a few minutes and then restart the vehicle to continue.
Going down the road at 55 mph, and the truck went down to first gear, wouldn't show my speed, then wouldn't come out of 3rd gear.
Steady driving down road at 40+ mph, truck automatically shifted into 1st gear.coasted to a stop, shut truck off, started it back up, and transmission was locked into 5th gear.vehicle would not down or up shift, or disengage into neutral.lcd and instrument cluster lost all information including speed, mpg, miles remaining, current mileage, etc.current model year is covered by existing ford/nhtsa recall including my build date and build location, however ford says that the specific part in my vehicle is not applicable, despite tsb/recall symptoms matching my issue perfectly.nhtsa recall # 16v248000, ford recall # 16s19.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-15. While driving 58 mph, the transmission shifted independently without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v248000 (power train); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
While driving in normal conditions at a constant speed the speedometer will start jumping around and the truck will downshift to match the lower speeds. I was traveling at 65mph on the highway and the truck downshifted greatly reducing my speed causing the vehicle following me to swerve to avoid a collision. Occasionally when taking off from a start the truck will immediately shift to 5th gear losing all acceleration. If i shut the vehicle off and restart it immediately the problem will usually go away.
Car would be driving normal, and speedometer would drop off, dropping to 0 mph.upon which time, the transmission would try and compensate, and downshift hard to match the speed.speedometer would then go back up to normal speed and transmission would shift back.matches identical issues with 16n02, but my vin (despite being the same year, make, model, and manufactured during the same time frame and at the same plant as the others) did not show this as a recall.
While driving my f150 on highway the vehicle transmission is dropping gears suddenly, it seems its going to first gear, another problem i am having with the vehicle's transmission does not go into reverse, when i push the shift lever in the reverse position, the vehicle's transmission does go in reverse, the reverse light does not illuminate on the dashboard of my f-150 and the backup lamp on the rear of my f-150does not illuminate.
Surging at low speeds when coming to a stop. Feels as though the transmission is not downshifting and requires hard braking to prevent vehicle from moving into an intersection, or a car stopped ahead going in the same direction. This has occurred twice. The second time i almost hit the car stopped in front of me.
Brake pedal goes to the floor until truck is warmed up. Front hubs don't have enough vaccum to disengage.
F-150 transmission fails to shift into gear at some points, will up shift into 3rd or 5th gear when accelerating randomly and will drop into 2nd/1st gear at highway speeds. Has progressively gotten worse and worse to the point that it is almost daily. Vehicle is now unreliable and unsafe.
While vehicle is in motion transmission goes into fifth gear and speedometer goes to 0.also vehicle sometimes will not shift out of first gear upon accelerating.
I i took this vehicle to ford of dalton, georgia because there is a safety recall on the pcm and transmision that will suddenly downshift into 1st gear while going down the road. Customer service manager stated that it would cost me $140 dollars to diagnose the problem, and if the problem was the molded lead frame in the transmission that communicates with the output shaft sensor, that it would not be covered by the recall or warranty. This contradicts what the recall states. I shouldnt be charged $140 dollars for them to diagnose a recall..this is on a 2011 ford f-150
Driving 70 mph when 2011 ford f-150 while driving in cruise control with a/c on lost all power..........and a tool displayed on dash.i was able to pull over on-side of interstate luckily.......turned off vehicle waited a few minutes and re-started with no further issues.i'm concerned this is similar to other issues ford products have been having.need answers before your vehicle hurts my family!!!
The truck has a bad miss when going up hill , it has had the ford fixand it still won't run. It's going to get someone killed.
In 2016 i went to get recall repaired from franklin tn dealership i purchased the truck from, they refused, in 2019, they claim that the software was not available from ford, online in emails to another dealer, i have not been told when to bring truck in to get all recalls repaired. Both dealerships are in tn. When in first gear, the truck will jerk back down and won't allow me to go to 2nd gear without pressing hard on gas, loud fan noise from the hood, breaks go to the floor and i have to pump to feel truck slowing down, air and heat continue to not work, air won't get cool and heat won't get hot, both dealerships have refused to repair or blamed ford for not giving them what they needed to fix the recalls. I am documenting so my family will be able to give this to attorney. The down shift happens when the truck is in drive moving on any and every street, parking lot, stop light/sign. The loud fan noise from the engine only happens when the truck is started, the brakes have been going to the floor for 8 years at different times of the day/night when driving.
I was driving and i had loss of power started misfiring shifting funny and i was almost killed by a large truck something needs to be done.
Out put sensor went bad truck would not shift out of 5th gear and there was no speed o meter .driving on the highway at 75mph truck downshifted into 3rd gear then went to 5th gear but wouldn't shift out of 5th gear plus theirs no recall.
While driving 60mph on the interstate the vehicle suddenly downshiftedto 1st gear causing the rear wheels to lock up and send it into an uncontrolable skid.
Transmission jumps in and out of gear with no apparent relation to vehicles speed or throttle position. If the transmission decides to drop into 1st at sufficient speed to lock the drive wheels this is terrifying and inherently dangerous. Ford knows this condition exists on 6r80 transmissions but seems unwilling to widen the recall. Maybe someone needs to die before they address this. Its a miracle this hasn't lead to a loss of life incident yet.
Recall 12c23 dealer& manufacturer state doesn't apply despite same symptoms in recall. Dealer witnessed issue while doing recall 19s07 i told them ot had started about the same time i discovered the current 19s07 recall. Ford said they were reporting the issue as well.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced difficultly shifting into reverse. The vehicle also failed to indicate that it was in the reverse position. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and it was stated that it could potentially be included in nhtsa campaign number: 12v190000 (power train, exterior lighting). Apple ford of lynchburg (2113 lakeside dr., lynchburg, va) was called; however, they could not confirm the recall. The manufacturer was notified and advised the contact to complain to nhtsa about getting the vin added to the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 143,000.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle decelerated without warning. The contact mentioned that when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle shook violently intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 78,000.
While driving down the road truck downshifts to first gear causing rear wheels to lock up. Check engine light come on and the speedometer and tachometer go to zero. Have to stop truck immediately turn off engine and restart.sometimes this clears the error sometimes it takes additional attempts.we reported this to ford and they are not willing to address this issue.ford told us there is nothing they can do and our vehicle is not part of any recall. This is a real safety concern for me, my family and anyone on the road while we are driving this vehicle.this has happened while driving at various speeds on the city streets and on the highway.
Evidently as you all are probably aware, the 2011 f-150 6r80 transmission was recalled on a lot of trucks. The speed sensor or trans range sensor or lead frame is was/bad so a satisfaction program was initially made 'one free lead frame' offered for under10 years or 150k miles . Now there is no recall on my truck but a. It's 2011 b. It was produced from the kansas plant, one of two plants which initiated the recall. C. The infamous p0705 code is reading. Pretty much what i'm getting at is my head ache of a truck deserves a recall evaluation, at the very least a new lead frame please contact me asap. I think my truck slipped through the cracks and it needs fixing! by the way this causes my truck to drop to low gears(innapropriate gears) at high speeds and causes it to not work at all at times!!!

The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.
While merging into traffic on the expressway today in miami, at about 35 mph, i had to accelerate to get out of the merging lane, at which time (for the third time since i bought the truck in 2011) the truck lost all power to the engine (a 3.5l ecoboost) and began to sputter, shake, and decelerate. Luckily for myself and the other drivers on the road i did leave a sufficient gap between myself and the car to my rear to give that vehicle time to react to what equates to a vehicle pulling out in front of him/her and gently pressing the brakes without the brake lights engaging.my truck hovered between 25 and 30 mph for about 30 seconds with it doing the sputtering and slowing thing each time i attempted to accelerate during that time period.after pretty much coasting for 30 or so seconds, the truck sprang back to life and drove as advertised.from what i've read, this is not an isolated incident and i (as well as others) believe ford should be held accountable for this defect.i'm not looking for a new truck, i'd just like the problem fixed.even though no deaths or injuries have been reported due to this "yet", you can see the danger of having your engine loose power when you need it the most. Unfortunately for their customers, all ford seems to be concerned with is the loss of a buck......not the loss of a life!!![xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
On hghway transmission jerks when placing in reverse or drive also on road feels like it is pulling back like it wants to go in lower gear...'.also back door not closed on dash reading (electrical) miles on truck is 103000

On wednesday, march 13, 2019, i was traveling in my 2011 ford f150 vin#(xxxx) on the highway.during this time, i was traveling at approximately 65-70mph.about 1 minute after getting onto the highway, i felt a large knock in the transmission, and subsequently the vehicle downshifted from 6th gear into 1st gear, on its own, without warning!this action caused the rear tires to lock up, and the truck temporarily skid out of control, and drop speed to approximately 35-40 mph in the middle lane on the highway.thankfully, i was able to retain control of the vehicle, and there was not anyone near me, and i was able to avoid a serious crash.also, thankfully, i was on my way to work, and i luckily did not have my 5-year-old or 2-year-old in the vehicle with me.i immediately pulled to the side of the road, to compose myself, and re-evaluate the situation at hand.parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Without warning the transmission began downshifting and upshifting by itself. Vehicle went from 5th gear to third, back to fifth and down to first. Vehicle skidded as a result. Brought people to dealer. They explained that there was not a recall currently, but that there was a service notice and that this had happened other vehicles.
After cruising at 50 mph for about 10 minutes, temperature of 87 degrees with high humidity, i attempted to pass the vehicle ahead of me.the truck accelerated nicely, then stumbled, stopped accelerating and started to shake violently.the check engine light began flashing, indicating a misfire.problem corrected itself after 30 seconds and truck resumed normal operation.
'takata recall' my truck shifts into 3rd and won't shift out, down shifts outta nowhere and when i shut down and restart it is automatically in 5th gear and shifts very hard from park!
Trans 6r80 was recalled but not for my tk due to the fact it was made in different ford location being dearborn mi. The truck won't go in reverse, wrench light comes on,when it finally does its stuck in gear. Have to turn truck off to restart and then it will go in gear. Took to ford dealership for diagnostic. Cause were in codes.. P0705, p0731, p1702, p1921, pinpoint test c p0705.nec to replace lead frame in transmission.it should not matter what trans shop it was made at if it's doing same thing and poses a safety hazard on the highway at 70 miles per hour. Discovered the problem in a slow construction zone and needed to back up. This tk should of been in recall. Same sr80 trans as ones recalled.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact received a recall letter from ford motors. The nhtsa campaign number was unknown. The contact stated that the transmission sensor was replaced at glockner southpoint ford (155 co rd 406, south point, oh 45680, (740) 894-3673) in february of 2018 per the recall. While driving 50 mph, the transmission downshifted and the vehicle slowed down without depressing the brake pedal. A wrench symbol and the check engine indicator illuminated prior to the failure. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the transmission sensor was replaced again. It was unknown if the manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was 75,000.
After 4 hours of steady highway driving upon attempting to pass a vehicle the truck failed to downshift , lost power ( requiring me to abort maneuver)and began bucking... There was no cel. Took the car to the dealer and they inspected the truck found no codes and said no problem found. They said they reloaded the programming for the transmission. This vehicle has experienced this problem numerous times since the first occurrence. Always happens when accelerating and creates dangerous loss of power at critical drivingperiods.
While accelerating to 75mph or so, up slight hill from 65-70 mph went to pass a vehicle then truck lost vast majority of power even with all the way down and began to violently shake. Could have easily cause accident since wasn't abble to accelerate as planned to match speed of other lane. Check engine light came on. Truck continued to shake violently off and on for next mile before stopping. Problem is still ongoing under any moderate acceleration that goes over ~2000 rpm
Ford has a recall(16s19) on 2011-2012 f-150 trucks but according to my vin my truck is not affected. On occasions my i have experienced these problems associated with the recall. What do i do?
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train). The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. Green ford (3800 w wendover ave, greensboro, nc 27407, (336) 292-8310) was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
I was driving on the highway at 60 mph and my rear end locked up and it almost had a major accident. I searched on line for recalls and on the 2011s they have been having problems with the transmission. I contacted ford and they said that there are no recalls at this time. I found 5 recalls on 2011s f150:1 recall id 68928 electrical system,2 recall id 90589 exterior lighting,3 recall id 84274 structure body,4 recall id 91590 power train automatic transmission,5 recall id 90588 power train automatic transmission control module. The dealership checked my truck and told me that the valve body wiring harness is bad and therepair will cost around $850.00 to repair. The repair shop said that they have been having problems with the 2011 models but no recalls. This is a safety issue and its serious. If i had been driving 75 mph and my rear locked up on me,it would have not been good and it could have caused a major pile up including injury to myself and others and possible. This problem needs to be looked at and investigated before something happens. I appreciate your time. Thanks
The transmission will intermittently, either not shift out of 1st gear, or even worse, it will downshift from a higher gear back into 1st. This occurs while the truck is in motion on surface streets and highway on ramps.
While driving on hwy when acceleration the vehicle looses power and i had to pull over and shut off the engine and re-start it, almost causing an accident. Then when driving on normal road conditions and accelerate the vehicle to pass, and the same thing happens, the engine miss fires, looses power and the check engine light is on since the first time it happened. Took the truck to the ford dealer and they said it was "an ongoing problem with the ecoboost and the air charge cooler". They said the fix is to put a intercooler deflector (piece of plastic over the intercooler), change the spark plugsand do a vehicle software update witch is going to cost around $700 to fix. Outrageous cost for a tune up and a piece of plastic for something they know its a "ongoing problem" and don't want to have a recall. This is a safety issue, and they know about it but since the vehicle is out of warrantee i have to deal with it. Wonder how many others have this issue?! this is definitely the only and last ford i will buy. This does not guarantees that its going to stop it from happening again. With this amount of money i could buy an aftermarket intercooler, do a complete tune up and still have money left.
Truck transmission down shifts to a very low gear jerking the truck and losing control. I have had it into the local ford dealer four times since 2011. Still downshifting suddenly. Ford just recalled in recall # 19507 february 2019 certain trucks for recall for the downshifting. My vin# was excluded. Ford assigned case#cas-17164754-n-t2c3 and told me to pay for the parts myself and keep the receipt in case ford recalls my vin#.ford has excluded millions from this recall that are dangerous to operate with this defect. I tow a travel trailer with my grandchildren so you can understand my fear of the downshift at highway speeds. Ford needs to be held responsible as they have known about this issue since 2011 and have chosen a half baked response to the problem.
While my vehicle was warming up it began to shake and a wrench icon came up on the vehicle's screen. The vehicle would only only go about 5 miles per hour and was shaking. I drove it to dealership and the mechanic did a update on the computer. Couple of weeks late the vehicle did the same thing. The dealership does not know why this is happening. This was about a year ago and hasn't happened again. Was wondering why my vehicle isn't part of the recall?
On 3 occasions the transmission would not shift out of 1st gear. Two of these occurred when pulling onto a 50mph roadway. I was able to pull to the side of the road, turn off the truck and restart the truck. The transmission worked properly after that. On the most recent occasion i had been slowed down by an accident on the freeway. After clearing the accident i accelerated to get up to freeway speed but could not go over apx. 20 mph because the transmission would not shift out of 1st gear. I was in the middle lane and could not get to the side of the road to shut off and restart the truck. After shifting to first gear manually (auto transmission) i was able to manually shift the automatic transmission through the gears and had normal transmission operation after that.
This complaint involves the slip joint. I took it back to dealer and they "fixed' the problem. The problem returned when the truck was out of warranty. It turns out that this was common on this year truck. The truck shifts hard at slow speed..
The contact's husband owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 73 mph, the vehicle downshifted into first gear without warning. The contact stated that the rear wheels seized, which caused the vehicle to lose control. The vehicle was taken to john vance ford (5400 s. Division street, guthrie, ok 73044, tel: 855-558-1905) where it was diagnosed that the leadframe needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v248000 (power train). The manufacturer was contacted and notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 162,000.
Went to pass a slower car on the highway and my truck started shacking bad and slowed way down. The truck only has 60000 miles and has been well cared for.it felt like i was driving on square tires.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving in reverse at unknown speeds, the reverse indicator did not illuminate and the back up camera failed to respond. The transmission warning indicator also illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired, the manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 71,986.
Trouble with the transmission gearing down while driving, i am sending in this complaint in case transmission goes out or causes me to have a wreck this will be on file. When i am running in regular speed the transmission will gear down without me doing anything, it does it itself.
Currently my truck is under a safety recall to update the new software on pcm for intermittent down shifts at any speed. Also there is a molded leadframe warranty extension.i'm thankful i haven't experienced the downshift to 1st. But have noticed it down shifts on highway from 6th to 5th to 4th and back up. Also hesitates violently when trying to pass or accelerate.laird nollerf3ord in lawrence,ks is doing update on pcm monday sept 16th.my vin is included, but they say they have to do a diagnostic and can only replace leadframe if certain codes are related.i personally think the transmission moulded leadframe should be replaced and than update pcm after.from what i read the sensors are the problem regardless of the software update. If my vin is on the field service recall and the safety recall. Both should be done free of charge parts and labor. Regardless of the codes.its fords [xxx] up. And many more accidents will happen if this isn't made a priority. I'm seriously scared to drive on the highway knowing anytime it could downshift into 1st gear. I read reports even after the update still have same problems.it's the leadframe people. I'll see how the software update monday effects the performance of my 5.0. Fingers crossed.

Truck gets stuck in first gear when shifting from park or reverse to drive. The vehicle thenremained in first gear until slamming into 5th
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that there was an intermittent issue that would cause an unexpected downshift into first gear, which caused the vehicle to slow down. The dealer informed the contact that he would have to pay out of pocket for the diagnostic testing and repairs. The contact also stated that there was a recall regarding the power train, but the contact's vehicle was excluded. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 144,000.
I have been having problems with engine noise ranging from a deep howling to a sound like a steel chain being drug over an aluminum ladder. I have had problems with the sync, memory seats and steering wheel, auto start, and an ongoing problem with hesitation or miss firing in the engine that cause the truck to loose power on acceleration and go into limp mode. I have had some really close calls getting onto the highway where i was almost hit from behind when the truck lost power. I have had the truck in the shop 13 times and getting ready to go back for the 14th time. I have tried the bbb and the lemon law program which i was denied by a third party arbitrator. I was expecting that because a bbb employee said 93% of all people that file a lemon law claim in missouri get denied. I have an extended warranty with 50,000 miles left on it and the ford engineer in charge of repairs says he refuses to do anything about the engine noise anymore because of the past failed repairs. This is an v6 ecoboost . I don't know what to do next.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train); however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. Lance cunningham ford (4101 east clinton hwy, knoxville, tn 37912, (866) 591-3943) was contacted and confirmed that the parts would not be available until may or june. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
Transmission shifts from 3rd gear into 1st gear without notice, causing the truck rpm's to spike and the truck comes to a sudden stop, once control is regained the transmission will not shift out 1st gear for several minutes and must be driven very slowly to prevent the engine from over revving.
Vehicle "shudders" or "bucks" slightly under light acceleration from 55 mph on up. For a $45,000 vehicle and no fix yet this is totally unacceptable.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, when the gear was shifted, the vehicle began to jerk forward. While the accelerator pedal was depressed, the speed failed to increase. The vehicle was taken to a dealer (gullo ford of conroe- the woodlands, 925 interstate 45 s, conroe, tx 77301), but was not diagnosed due to diagnostic fees. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v248000 (power train), but the vin tool indicated there were no recalls associated with the vin. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
2011 ford f-150 xlt supercrew 4x2.i was operating the vehicle in normal conditions earlier this week and noticed that the vehicle was not accelerating after pushing on the gas pedal.i had noticed this very intermittently over the past several months, but this issue was constant.there were no warning indicators, but when attempting to accelerate the pu seemed to be operating at about 30-40% of the expected performance level.i took into the ford service dealer, northside ford, and they mentioned it might be the pcm but they needed to start by replacing the o2 downstream sensor.they replaced the o2 downstream sensor and re-tested and it them indicated that the pcm needed to be replaced.the vehicle only has 112,500 miles so it seems odd that there was a recall (12v190000) but my vehicle was not included and it seems to be exhibiting similar problems.i would like to see if someone can look into the issue as i believe it has a similarities to the previous recalls.
While driving my 2011 f150 i got of i99 at the tyrone exit. While slowing to a stop at about 35 mph the truck shifted from 5thgear to 1st which cause the wheels to squawk and slide almost causing me to lose control, i pulled over in the bk parking lot shut it off an restarted once i put it in gear to drive it showed i was in 5th gear so i shut it off again waited a few minutes s td started it again and this time it was in 3rd so i repeated. The next time it was in first so i drove home the back roads to be safeas i got up to speed it started to act up again the speedometer show i was going 0mph but i was going 25mph again the truck slammed in an out of gear i took it to my local ford deal they diagnosed it as a lead frame hope this fixes the problem as i'm scared to drive my truck. I do have videos of when its acting up but i cant figure out how to upload them.
Unexpected transmission downshift to a 1st gear regardless of vehicle speed.
I was traveling in the righthand lane of the east bound side of i24 around manchester, tn. My speed was approximately 65-70 mph. I suddenly came up upon slower traffic in the same lane and signaled to pass the slower traffic. As i looked in my mirrors for traffic behind me i noticed another vehicle closing on me in a hurry. I depressed the accelerator to gain speed and make the pass. The vehicle lurched and the motor suddenly shut down and wouldn't accelerate in the middle of my pass. The vehicle behind me locked their brakes and managed to slow their vehicle down before possibly colliding with me. I let the slower traffic on the right pass and signaled to get back in the right hand lane.this has happened twice to me and i think there is a real possibility this could endanger lives and property if not corrected. My 2011 ford f-150 is equipped with the 3.5 liter ecoboost v6.
Stays in low gear and won't up shift. Shut truck off and after a few attempts it shifts. This has happened on several occasions. Once it did it while stop at a redlight. Went to pull out and it wouldn't shift out of low gear. Did it another time when i got it in and from a cold start ,put it in drive and it wouldn't shift out of 1st gear.
On several occasions and more frequently as of lately, i am losing acceleration capability when i am trying to accelerate at any speed. When i try to accelerate from a stop or uphill, i feel like the engine won't go or is bogging down. To try and compensate, i try to accelerate more which only seems to make the problem worse. I have already taken it to the ford dealer and they replaced a part on the transmission, but the problem still persists and is only get more frequent.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle shifted into the wrong gear and lost power. An unknown warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact shut off the vehicle and it would not restart. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who replaced an electronic sensor inside the transmission, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to speedway ford (1710 n expy, griffin, ga 30223, (888) 324-4186) where it was diagnosed that the valve body of the transmission was leaking and losing pressure. The dealer also stated that the computer needed to be replaced. The valve was replaced, but the failure recurred. The computer was in the process of being reprogrammed and may need to be replaced. The failure mileage was 136,000.
Multiple incidents of hesitation in first and second gear shifts causing stalling in the middle of intersections. No accidents occurred. I was told by ford " there is a factory defect in the manufacture of the torque converter seal."
Rainy day traveling on highway 19 near crockett , texas. Tried to pass slow moving vehicle and engine stalled, check engine light came on and started missing. Lost power and i was forced on the side of the road to avoid collision. Took truck to dealer and he installed a small plate over inter cooler. Several months later while passing on a humid day same thing occurred with same results. Pulled to side of road because i could not get back into my lane due to other cars. Took back to ford in october, 2013 and they installed another plate on bottom of intercooler and reprogrammed the computer. I have no faith in the repairs and will probably never try a pass in any humid or wet weather.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving at 20 mph and shifting gears, the contact smelled a strong burning odor inside the vehicle and heard an abnormal noise near the rear of the vehicle. The starter defect warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to thedealer where it was diagnosed that the electrical program had to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 20,000.
When trying to shift into reverse the dash light will not illuminate, will not shift into reverse, and maintenance wrench light comes on.i am able to shift into neutral, drive, and any other gear with dash illumination and operate the vehicle.reverse will not shift and after multiple tries it finally takes and "jolts" backwards without warning and allows me to backup.however dash light never changes and am unsure when it will shift.i am told by the dealership that it is a malfunctioning "transmission range sensor".my vehicle matches the make, model, and year of an active recall: #12v190000 however i am informed by the local ford dealership that my vin number does not match the recall list in oasis? and therefore is not covered by ford.i have had no issues with my vehicle up until this point and cannot believe that ford is refusing to cover this obvious safety hazard.
Transmisison has skipped or clunked into gear since the day i bought it byt dealershiup stated on every occassion that they could nopt replicate issue. This morning i started driving to work and the wrench tool showed on panel, speedomotor does not move from zero, and the transmisison is stuck in 5th gear. My vin is not part of the recall and i want to know why? i cna not get on the highway, i nearly casued an accident in local traffic as starting in 5th gear from stop light everyone was having to go around me and i nearly got hit mergin into traffic even with flashers on.also my trip meteres is all dash lines except for the miles driven last trip.
Ford f150 3.5l ecoboost completely looses power when accelerating in passing gear. Vehicle shutters and bucks severally and does not allow any type of acceleration to be able to exit into slow lane interstate traffic. Normal operation returns after about 1.5 minutes of coasting and then gently applying accelerator to regain vehicle control. During the recovery time the engine runs very rough as if timing was completely out of sync.i drive 1000 miles per weekon interstate 95 and this condition is ongoing. I experience at least 2 or 3of these episodes per week when i try to accelerate to pass another vehicle. This is a safety concern to me because the vehicle looses power completely and does not recover until 1.5 minutes later. The check engine light comes on very time this condition occurs. When reading the error codes it only show misfiring of all cylinders (code p0300).
2011 f-150 xlt will not go into reverse or other times when you put it in reverse the vehicle behaves like it's in neutral then will suddenly shoot backwards (does this in drive as well-forward). When this occurs the backup lamps do not illuminate and the backup camera does not function and the instrument panel does not display the what status the vehicle is in...ie drive/reverse etc.... I took the vehicle to my mechanic who immediately informed me the vehicle was under recall (nhtsa campaign #12v190000). He printed the service bulletin and recall info. I took the vehicle to ford where i was told my vin # did not fall under the recall despite the fact it's the same exact model transmission, vehicle, and issue to the letter. It should be known that many more vehicles are affected beyond the initial recall. This has the potential to be an extremely dangerous defect as the vehicle lunges backwards/forwards without any indication of the status of the vehicle and while the vehicle's safety features are not working properly.
Driving 4-lane highway, truck suddenly shifts into low gear.stopped truck, tried to accelerate but would not go.suddenly went back into a low gear so i was able to get the truck off the highway.thankfully no one was behind me or there would have been an accident.i called my local ford dealer, and although there was a recall for the same problem happening with other ford f-150 trucks, my vin was not on the recall list.should it be?
Rear sliding glass window defroster stopped working around 90000 miles, ford dealer says i have to purchase a new rear glass.transmission downshifts feeling as if someone ran into the rear of the vehicle. Traveling on i-10 at approximately 80 miles an hour went to pass a slower moving vehicle, when i accelerated to pass the transmission down shifted into 3 gear almost causing me to lose control. Transmission has a problem (no notice from ford) talked to several owners having similar transmission problems.

Transmission has been ongoing problem since 7/2012.when driving away from certain situations, transmission will slam into 2nd gear.local dealer has replaced shims in rear suspension, new driveshaft, major and minor transmission parts, reprogrammed computer, etc., all to no avail.parting words from the dealer were always "give the computer 500 miles to settle in and all will be good"never happened, transmission still slams into second and pushing 140,000 miles now. Have even written letters to ford motor company about this. Took truck into dealer per their recommend and not fixed.feel i will need to drive the truck into the ground as can't think anybody would want to buy it like this.would also think twice about buying another ford truck.
I was driving my ford f150 about 45mph when all of a sudden there was a hard jerk. So hard i thought someone had hit me, then a wrench came on the screen. After it jerked it slow down drastically. I turned around and took it to o'reilly's auto and they hooked it up to that machine and it gave a code that had to do with a catalytic converter. I had to wait until thanksgiving holidays were over until that following monday before i could take it to my mechanic and he hooked it up to his machine and said that one of the sensors was not registering then i remembered i had a recall on a sensor that had to do with the transmission so i took it to the ford house. I didn't have the recall paper with me so they looked it up on their computer and said they were going to reprogram the software that goes to a sensor in my transmission. And it didn't fix the problem. It is still doing the same thing and it doesn't matter, there is no way i would ever take it out on the highway i don't even want to drive it any faster than like 25 miles an hour because it jerks so hard and there's no warning when it happens whatsoever.it's scary, very scary. My complaint is i did the recall and i don't know what to do next because it's still doing the same thing like i never i know when it will do it again. I don't knowif it's through the code and is no longer programmed i don't know but it's unsafe and i'm scared to drive it at all because people honk at me afterwards because i go so slow so i turned my hazards on. People are rude now days if they have to follow someone driving super slow. Which i do because of the jerk and the sound it makes. Unsafe.

On 12 january 2017 when returning from a normal oil change and tire rotation at a dealership the operator heard what sounded like marbles in a coffee can coming from the transmission and the vehicle experienced erratic shifts and loss of power.these conditions were reported to and noted by the dealership's receptionist to be followed up on the next morning.on 13 january 2017 on the commute to work when accelerating from a stoplight on a city thoroughfare the vehicle downshifted abruptly from a high gear and shuddered to a halt in the middle of the roadway.the incident was so dramatic that the operator had assumed the driveshaft had been lost.the operator limped the vehicle into a nearby parking lot where the dashboard showed various warnings (see exhibit 1) and a towing company was called to transport the vehicle to the dealership.the vehicle had approximately 89,000 miles and the weather was sunny and 42 f on 13 january 2017.the dealership diagnosed the issue as an internal failure by using codes p0763, p0764, and p0979, along with removing the transmission pan which showed fine metallic shavings (see exhibit 2); the transmission was replaced by the dealership.this transmission issue was fortunate to not have resulted in any injuries or additional damages which could have easily occurred.
According to the research i have done to this point the fist recall that i believe applies to this vehicle is tsb 13-6-8, and the 2nd is tsb 13-8-1. Both of these symptoms are prevalent to my vehicle but ford fails to act on this tsb and fails to make the necessary repairs that will remedy these issues. Once again this vehicle is now part of a field service action (15n05) for the electric vacuum pump, and will return the vehicle on 3/24/2017 to see if they will respond in this action, and once again bring these tsb's to there attention as previously done to see if they will repair the vehicle to an acceptable operating standard. If ford fails to respond to the tsb's and to the field service actions, what are my options to see these repairs take place, and my vehicle is in a safe and proper working function?
Vehicle would not illuminate correct gear when inserting key into the ignition. The vehicle could not be started. After waiting 10 minutes, the p was illuminated in the instrument cluster and the vehicle started as normal. Soon after, the p would not illuminate. The vehicle could not be shifted into drive to move. This happened while driving and the vehicle downshifted to first gear. Took the vehicle to the dealership and they first inform me that the shifter must be replaced. After giving the go ahead, they inform me that the shifter is fine. They need to replace the lead frame in the transmission and the price is $750. My vehicle falls into the timeframe of ford recall 16s19 but they have told me the vin does not match. After informing them that this is a safety issue and working with the dealership and ford service, there is nothing they can do for me. I am on my own to pay for these repairs and hope that it actually fixes the problem. Ford has lost a life long customer.
Molded lead-frame recall (16n02). The output from the output speed sensor (oss) is intermittent. However, it is rarely out long enough for the computer to recognize a problem.the computer requires a loss of this signal for a full 15sec before it will throw a code. Otherwise it will just continue to register the last registered speed.the result of the loss of the oss is very hard shifting while pulling out into traffic and sometimes total loss of any gears. This problem happens several time in a day while driving in town. This has made in-town driving very dangerous. The loss of the oss in straight stretches is usually not noticeable unless driving with the cruse control on. While on cruse, there will be a momentary loss of speed regulation which will resume in a few seconds when the oss resumes opperation.the ford dealer will not fix this under the recall because they say they can't find any codes in the computer. We just picked up the truck from the dealer service department on 12/27/2017 with no problems found or repairs done. The truck acted up four times on the way back home that day. But again, no codes were generated. Finding a code should not be the only provision to fixing this very dangerous problem.
Under hard acceleration into traffic or when passing, vehicle will suddenly lose power and go into a "limp mode." this condition is thought to occur because of engine misfire and several factors have been identified that can cause this in the ecoboost 3.5l v6.the dealer has replaced ignition coils with no success in correcting this issue.my service manager shared with me that ford engineering is well aware of the issue and has yet to come up with a solution to correct it.in the meantime, my family is placed at risk of an accident because there is no way to predict when the engine will suddenly lose power when you need it most for passing or merging situations.this becomes even worse when pulling a trailer.nhtsa should demand that ford immediately recall and repair these vehicles, or replace them until an appropriate solution is found to remedy the misfire condition and resultant lost of power.
I've had transmission problems from the beginning with this vehicle.at first, the transmission would down shift very hard at random times, especially slow speeds.the past few months, after a rain the transmission will run in 5th gear only.once i drive a few miles, i can turn the vehicle off for a minute and it will usually correct the problem.last week, i was driving steadily at about 45 mph when the transmission suddenly downshifted to 1st gear!it smoked the rear tires and bounced the rear axles until i shifted into neutral and coasted to a stop.fortunately there were no cars behind me or it could have easily caused an accident.once i turned the vehicle off and then restarted it functioned normally.i've taken it to the local dealer a number of times and their solution is always to "reflash" the transmission.this could beserious issue and i'm nervous to drive the vehicle at speed now....
While driving the vehicle around 45 to 50 mph the vehicle started skidding. The brakes were not applied when this happened the vehicle just started skidding on its own. The vehicle sounded like the transmission was coming apart. I contacted ford and told them about the issue and they said there were no recalls on the vehicle. I told them the this was a safety issue and that my wife has back problems and that when the vehicle started skidding it jerked us forward. If there would have been vehicles behind us or if we were going thru an intersection this could have caused a serious accident. They told me ford was not responsible and that i should take the vehicle in and have it serviced. We were driving on a highway when this occured.
My family and i were on our way to disney world in orlando, florida when my 2011 ford 3.5 liter ecoboost f150 truck completely shut down on the interstate 10 highway in the middle of nowhere, probably 60 miles to the east of tallahassee florida.at first i thought that we were not going to make it, as the truck completely died out. I pulled off to the side and finally got the vehicle started. We had been steady state cruising with the cruise set at 70 for atleast 2-2.5 hours. After doing some reading i see that it was probably condensation in the intercooler that entered the intake tract when i had accelerated to go around a big truck that was barely making it up a hill on interstate 10. This was a real bad experience, this has happened atleast 2 times since then. Luckily i have not had a wreck or crashed, but as i keep reading up, i see many people complaining about the ecoboost f150. Now, i have a truck in the shop with a blown motor, and i can only imagine that the water getting into the motor and the motor trying to compress that water was what caused my engine failure. I metal from the internal rotating assembly shoot through the side of my engine block last week. I believe that happened due to the water and the water bending the connecting rods.please help.
F150 ecoboostwhile going down a slight grade at about 50 mph in drive the transmission suddenly shifted down a couple of gears thereby causing the engine to rev up to over 3,500 rpm.after several seconds the transmission shifted back up one step at a time to the 6th gear. This has happened at least twice on different occasions.another anomaly has occurred several times.while slowing down slightly the transmission suddenly 'clunks' and it feels like something has run into the back of the truck.it's like a hard shift into a higher gear, however the transmission appears to be6th and the speed is around 60 mph..
Since i've owned this vehicle new, i've had a number of problems related to acceleration. Vehicle would almost stall on hard acceleration when getting on the freeway. Dealer replaced spark plugs & boots, but condition was not completely resolved. Vehicle would still on occasion repeat the same problem. More recently when driving yesterday, the engine light started blinking, then became steady. Of greater concerned i got an engine light & poor acceleration. Took the vehicle to the dealer & dealer is telling me that the timing belt needs to be replaced at a cost of $2000+. Vehicle had just turned 61000 miles. Dealer service agent tells me its not uncommon and could be caused by not getting the oil changed at recommended intervals. Vehicle has had regular oil changes at the dealer & other service facilities. Never heard of this & i think it's premature for a vehicle with 61000 miles to need the timing belt replaced. Never had this happen in 45+ years of driving.
Vehicle downshifts while driving abruptly and without cause.this has occurred at highway and city speeds as well as with and without a trailer in tow.the front end still is all over the road, following tire replacement, brake replacement and alignment.
This is the second time i have had this issue with this truck, while merging on a highway, my truck loses all power and starts shaking rapidly, once again i was almost involved in an auto accident because i could not merge. When i initially had this issue 50 thousand miles ago, i brought my truck to auto-nation ford in white bear lake minnesota, they said it was an issue of spark plugs, wires and coil packs, ford also said the issue was the inter-cooler. Ford fixed all of those issues roughly 50 thousand miles ago, but here we are, my truck is at 100,xxx miles and this issue happened again! this is a serious safety issue, i have now been run off the road twice and almost crashed into a lake! when my truck loses all power and starts shaking rapidly, i lose control of the half ton truck. I contacted my local ford dealership, (auto-nation ford) in white bear lake, where i bought the truck and they would like me to pay in full for all of theseissues, which ford clearly knows about. I know for a fact i am never buying a ford again, my safety and the safety of my family has now been compromised on multiple occasions and ford has not once taking responsibility or offered to fix the issue. I am very disgusted with the way ford has been handling these safety issues. When you buy a brand new truck and things like this happen, the company should take care of you, but once again, ford has proved that they do not care about their customers.
Transmission slams between gears and also does it while coming to a rolling stop. At times if feels like if you got hit from behind causing you to slam your head and body on the seat. It will do it at slow speeds and high speeds, but more noticeable while driving in and out of traffic slower speeds. At times it also feels like there is slippage when shifting gears.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. When the gear was shifted, the vehicle failed to drive in reverse and the rear lights would not illuminate. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact indicated that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 12v190000 (exterior lighting, power train). The contact stated that the vehicle experienced the same failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 250,800.
Truck was recalledfor "drivability issue in sudden downshift".had atw inspection and recall fix 3/12/2019. As driving back from dealership the transmission down shifted i returned to the dealer and was told i neededa complete transmission rebuild cost $3000!
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle lost power, came to a complete stop, and the rear wheels locked up. In addition, when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to accelerate. In addition, the steering wheel completely seized and the rpms increased.multiple warning lights illuminated. The failures recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v248000 (power train); however, the part needed to repair the vehicle was unavailable. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 40,000. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
I was traveling 45 mph on dry roads/good visibility/good weather in 6th gear when without warning the transmission shifted from 6th gear and finally ended in 1st gear - during this time the engine rpms exceeded 6000 rpms - i immediately shifted into neutral in order to reduce the engine rpm. Needless to say controlling the vehicle when this occurred was a major safety concern.i then shifted from neutral to drive and all was well. Last sunday after church the transmission would at first not shift from 1st and then went to 5th gear and remained in 5th gear till i put the transmission in neutral and then back into drive. This event has occurred 4 times this far.always when the engine and transmission are cold!!!
Excluded from recall for defective transmission leadframe.this vehicle dangerously shifts abruptly to a lower gear at highway speeds.
Attempted to pass a car.speed at time of attempt was 55mph.time 2:20 p.m. And partly cloudy.two lane road but had plenty of time to pass or an accident could have occurred.pushed down on accelerator and the engine actually decreased speed/significant deceleration.i let up on gas pedal, maintained speed then was gradually able to pass.think the turbo had stalled.this had happened once before, shortly after i purchased the truck.at that time i was merging onto interstate and it stalled out, for a shorter duration. After the july 31 incident,i took the truck to ford to inquire about the issues some owners have had on the eco boast engine, which i have.no codes appeared so i was told they couldn't do anything.then talked to regional customer service and got the same story.i am very concerned as i use the truck to tow a 26' trailer.when the eco boast turbo works, i have plenty of power to merge or pass.the above experience was scary and i did not have the trailer behind me at the time.now i feel i can not reasonably depend on it to work as it should. I think it is the turbo but it could be the electronic gas pedal, or the transmission but i really do not think these are the issue.please help!thank you.
Takata recall'- our truck keeps shifting into several gears causing the truck to pull back hard and unable to drive on highway due to shifting changes which can't be controlled by the driver.
Driving along at 50mph on flat road and sudden downshift to 1st gear causing rear wheels to squeal lasting .5 to 1 second. Dealer could not duplicate or find any code.
While traveling at 40 mph on country road three times and once going down the hwy. At 65 mph the transmission down shifted to 1st gear very violently with no warning. Noticed the speedometer also dropped down to 0 and bounced around as this happened. This has happened all in the past week.
When shifting the lever to reverse, the transmission does not engage reverse immediately and has a long delay before shifting to reverse. The "r" indicator does not illuminate and the backup lights do not come on even when the transmission engages in reverse. The issue seems to be similar to nhtsa recall #12v190000, but when i contact ford i am told that there is no recall for my vehicle.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle downshifted to first gear on its own. The contact pulled over and shut the vehicle off for approximately two minutes. Once restarted, the vehicle operated normally. The failure occurred seven times last week. The vehicle was taken to empire ford of new bedford (395 mt pleasant street, new bedford, ma 02746) where it was diagnosed that the output speed sensor was defective and forced the vehicle to downshift to first gear. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.
I'm having problem with the output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission. It has cause the transmission to force a temporary downshift into 1st gear. At the time of the downshift, my vehicle experienced an abrupt speed reduction that cause the rear tires to slide and loss of vehicle control. Ford has recalled some of the f150's but has left others like mine with the same issue out of the recall.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving various high speeds on an incline, the transmission's gear shifting ability malfunctioned. The contact stated that there was a loss of acceleration and the speedometer decreased to zero. The contact stated that the wrench icon illuminated. The contact restarted the vehicle to correct the failure. The dealer (viva ford, 5550 n desert blvd, el paso, texas 79912, (915) 834-2800) diagnosed that the plastic lead frame, foam seal, bulkhead connector, and oil pan gasket within the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in any recalls. The failure mileage was 166,000.
The truck will be in 5 or 6 gear and throw its self down into 3rd gear with out warning .
The transmission will not shift into gear from first gear. The rpm gauge goes up but transmission won't change gears. I have to disconnect the battery to get it going again and i am not getting a check engine light or code. I will also down shift while driving on the highway or get stuck in one gear depending on what gear i am on. It has done it several times already the last time was on february 05, 2021.
Jan. 27, 2017 we were pulling away from a stop light got to around 40 mph and the vehicle down shifted out of gear making a lot of noise and started bucking. We could hardly get it to the side of the road as it would hardly move. We had not had any issues before this. It was not drivable.we had it towed to the local ford dealership.in regard to recall 16s19 and 16n02, the vehicle did exactly what the recall stated in regard to the downshifting however as per the mechanic who repaired, this issue could have been the reason the planetary gears went out as well and we had to replace the transmission at considerable cost. Ford service indicated it would take at least a week to two weeks for repair as there were other transmission jobs in front of ours at both dealerships.we made the decision to have it towed to another transmission repair shop as we could not be without our vehicle for up to two weeks.ford is now refusing to help pay for repairs/replacement since repairs were not done at a ford certified repair shop.we even kept the transmission for ford to take a look at in regard to this recall...they weren't interested.this vehicle has only 104,000 miles, this should not have happened.
My truck has the 6r80 transmission and exhibits a transmission engagement in 5th gear when starting. I get a wrench indicator and my speedometer read zero and the odometer displays dashes while driving. After turning the ignition on and off a couple of times the issue is corrected.
2011 f150 with recalled transmission 6r80 has problems described in recall but my vin is not reporting in recall. The recall number in question is ford recall #16s19, nhtsa campaign # 16v248000. My transmission is downshifting to first at any speed causing tires to lock and skid as well as loose power completely while driving. Took truck to ted britt ford this morning and they concur with the issue but again vin is not in recall. I feel this should be covered by recall. Truck is under 10 years old and 115k miles.
Vehicle chooses when to pick up speedvehichle jerks (trying to change gears)odometer stops readingvehichle jerks comes to an immediate down shift (stop)vehichle does this in motion and it can be at any rate of speed
Truck will randomly shift from 5 gear to first gear while driving causing my wheels to lock up.trucks has also ben shifting from 1st gear into 5th gear when starting up which will not allow the truck to accelerate.
When accelerating from stoplight transmission would not up shift from first gear and speedometer indicated zero.
As i was merging onto highway 694 north, i had to accelerate because of a semi approaching me from behind, i gave the truck full throttle but the truck started shaking and the engine felt like it quit or just had no power left. The truck struggled to reach 55mph, and within seconds i almost got rear-ended and almost ran off the highway, do to the fact that my truck had no power. After i merged onto the highway the truck shook violently for about 3 miles while my check engine light was flashing. During this time it felt as though my truck had lost 50% of its power.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While shifting from reverse, the transmission jerked and the reverse tail light failed to illuminate. In addition, the reverse lights would not illuminate when the brake pedal was depressed. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 12v190000 (exterior lighting, power train). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.updated 09/21/15*ljthe consumer stated the vehicle was repaired. The consumer would like for the vehicle to be added to the recall list. Updated 3/29/2016updated 11/07/2017
When i started up my f-150 super crew cab with the ecoboost engine the service advanced track warning message came on. As i was driving with this error message on the dash i found that my turn signals would not stay on unless i hold the turn signal lever. Later that day i went to take the truck into the dealer to show them the issue and the error message was gone and the turn signals were now functioning fine. Since the error was no longer on the ford dealer could not do anything about the issue. The error stayed off for about 6 weeks and then came on again. Now it has been coming on about every 3 or 4 days so i took it to the dealer and they determined that the issue is with the rack and pinion steering assembly and have replaced that. I just go the truck back and have not had time to confirm that the issue is fixed however my confidence level is not there as this is just one of many issues that i have seen on this truck that appear to be "computer" related since shutting off the truck (or as i put it rebooting) will correct the issue.
While driving my speedometer goes to dashes and truck fails to shift. I have to pull over and shut the truck off to try and reset it. It takes several times of doing this to reset the truck.
The transmission started acting up and not shifting correctly while driving on the highway. The service lights on the dash came on and the truck went into limp mode.the truck has been to the dealer, and they stated it was a faulty molded lead frame.it seems there was already a recall involving this part, and ford initiated customer satisfaction program 16n02. However all parties have stated that my truck is not covered under this recall, despite it being the same problem with the molded lead frame.i'm hoping that eventually this recall is expanded as this is a major safety issue.
Experience an intermittent loss of the transmission output speed sensor (oss) signal to the powertrain control module, potentially resulting in a temporary, unintended downshift into first gear.an unintended downshift into first gear may occur causing the rear tires to slide or lock up. This has been going on since april 2011. Still no remedy. Too dangerous to drive.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 40 mph, the transmission dropped from the fifth to the first gear. Also, the speedometer moved erratically and was unable to register the exact speed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that there was a loss of communication in the speed sensors. The vehicle was repaired. The dealer was contacted (performance ford in tooele, ut, 888-625-0136), but the technician was unable to explain why the vehicle was not included in a recall. The manufacturer stated that there was no recall and referred the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was approximately 142,000.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced independent shifting. The vehicle was taken to hagerstown ford in hagerstown, md where it was diagnosed that a software update was needed. The contact stated that the failure still recurred, but not as often. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not offerassistance. The failure mileage was approximately 59,125.
While driving, sometimes down the highway at 60 miles an hour plus the truck will without warning downshift to first gear.this has caused significant control problems when the weather is bad as roads are slick.we also loose our speedometer.we have taken our truck into ford and they twice reprogrammed the truck.the first time failed right away the second time they said it was good and while driving home with our kids in the car it once again downshifted without warning on the highway at 60 miles an hour.we now have serious concerns about having our family in the truck for fear of loss of control without warning. This started happening when we first purchased our truck in july of 2018 at 148,000 miles it now has 162,000 and is happening more frequently.
At my house, the driveway is sloped.i had just parked the truck, turned the engine off, but left key in accessory position.my two daughters were in back seat (3 and 8 years old) watching a movie.i walked into my garage to drop off coffee, went back to the truck to retrieve pastries and then walked them into garage.i was out of the truck for 3-4 minutes.i went back to truck and took my three year old out of her car seat.she sits in rear seat, passenger side.i had her in my arms when i opened passenger side front door, reached across to remove keys. When i removed the keys from the ignition the truck began rolling down the driveway.my 8 year old was 1/2 out of the truck when it began to roll.i quickly put my 3 year old down and grabbed the 8 year old out of the truck.the truck was making a metal clicking sound the entire time it was rolling.truck rolled down the driveway, across the street and into the neighbors yard.their tree stopped the truck from rolling further into the yard and their house.the truck was still in park when i went inside to start it back up to move it back into the driveway.i drove it theford dealer about an hour later.ford dealer and fomoco were involved for several months.eventually a 'specialist' was flown in to look at truck.in the end, they claim there are no mechanical defaults and therefore, they are not responsible.they are unable to answer any questions as to how the truck did not move for the 3-4 minutes it was on the driveway when i was back and forth to the garage.they also have no explanation for how the truck rolled even though it was still in park when this happened.end results is ford claims they never repaired or modified my truck.i have no way to prove they did or did not repair anything during the periods of time they had my truck in their possession.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that it was extremely difficult to shift the vehicle from first to second gear. In addition, the vehicle would shake violently when changing gears and approaching a stop. The dealer updated the pcm twice, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 23,000. Updated 9/4/14the consumer stated the vehicle had a hard shifting and acceleration issue. The vehicle would hard shift everytime it was driven. It felt as if the vehicle was rearended. The vehicle revs up and stays in acceleration for an extended period of time. The entire truck shakes when going 40-45 miles per hour. Updated 1/5/15
It is down shifting unsafely and uncontrolled, odometer and speedometer are not functioning correctly. It downshifted suddenly to gear 1 as i was driving about 35mph on a city street. Nearly lost control before i could get pulled over and stopped. It was like the rear wheels locked and i skidded without using the brakes. Later it started to downshift from 6th to 5th gear at 70 mph on interstate. Odometer went blank, speedometer dropped to zero mph and a wrench symbol appeared by odometer. Had a code machine reading that showed a fault code for output shaft speed sensor. Called ford dealership and was told that there is no recall for my vehicle by vin #. Found online where ford has a recall # f-150-19s07, they say that doesn't cover my truck disspite their website indicating it covers my model, make, month and year of manufacture and plant where it was built at. I can not drive this truck safely in it's current condition and it appears to be an ongoing issue with these trucks and transmissions.
Truck has a timing chain rattle and has had the same rattle for 28,000 miles, since i've owned the truck. It only happens when the truck has been sitting for an extended period. The rattle lasts from 2-10 seconds. I have videos of it happening in my driveway, after a cold start. Dealer refuses to fix it because it doesn't happen after i drive it to them and they start it. Tsb-14-0194, tsb 16-0027, tsb- 15-0131. All 3 tsbs have the same results. I have shown the dealer my videos nd the service advisor told me "no problem we can get it fixed", only to find out he dealer refuses to fix it until they can get the truck to do it for them, under their care. The tsb states that if the owner hears the rattle the dealer is to fix it.
I had ford dealer preform software update for the last recall.this had made the problem worse.i have ask the dealer and the told me it was may issue.i keep getting error code p0270 when this happens.
2011 f150, 3.5l ecoboost motor, vehicle shudders and loses power during acceleration.dangerous to try and pass vehicles or even change lanes to pull over as there is power loss from engine.taken to dealer and they performed ford tsb 13-08-01.this did not fix the problem.the engine misfire continued, after returning to dealer the vehicle showed code related to same tsb after it had been applied.dealer cleared code.i have since replaced spark plugs and so far has not recurred.i have seen quite a few reports of this same issues on many ford f150 forums.i would say ford really needs to look into this problem.
Six months after i bought my truck i noticed a shuttering and hesitation while i was on the highway.the shuttering happens when i am cruising at 55-60 mph.more noticeably when the truck is climbing a slight incline on the road while lightly accelerating to maintain 60 mph.i had the dealer look at it 3 times in the last 2 years.the first time they reprogrammed the transmission and the computer.it did not solve the problem.brought it back the second time and i went for a ride with the technician and he noticed the shuttering.he said there was no engine light and no codes to find out what the problem is.finally the third time they said ford is aware of the problem and there engineers are trying to find a solution.i also had problems with my transmission.i was slowing down to come to a stop and the transmission downshifted so hard i thought i got rear ended by the vehicle behind me.
My 2011 f150 4x4 rear end limited slip differential appears to be locked up. At about 20,000 miles my gas mileage dropped from 18.4 to 17.1 and a whining noise is now present from the rear differential. Also you can hear the rear tires skip during slow turns at corners or in parking lots.
I made a left turn from a traffic light stop, as i was accelerating on a moderate rate, the engine "took off" (unintended acceleration) and immediately accelerated to ~50+mph.i switched transmission into neutral and applied the brakes and slowed down to the speed limit, ~35 mph. I checked to make sure the accelerator pedal was not stuck on the floor mat (it wasn't).i reengaged the transmission and the acceleration started immediately again.this unintended acceleration occurred three times in a stretch of about 2 miles or so, until i had a clear, safe place to pull over. The check engine light did not come on, at least not that i could notice.after i stopped the truck and started up again things were fine.i tried to"recreate" the situation by suddenly accelerating, but to no avail.i have scheduled an appointment with the dealer.the vehicle is a 2011 ford f-150 pickup with 3.5l ecoboost engine.
Loss of power. Missfire. Engine light came on and would not go off. Ecoboost 3.5 v6. Moisture problem getting in to cause problems. Turbo cooler problem. Truck is in service now on date above.
I was driving along hwy 95 in georgia for several hours early one morning.i went to pass a semi and lost all power.the truck rpms jumped up while the transmission down shifted to 4th gear but the truck did not accelerate.i had to get back into my lane in an abrupt way causing traffic to re-act and allow me back in.this has happened almost a dozen times since then.ford has been issuing tsb for a fix but none of them work.this is only happening on the 3.5l eco-boost motor.they are now in their 3rd model year of this truck and are still having this problem, it is only a matter of time before someone gets seriously injured.the timing of when this happens is un-predictable and often leaves no codes for the dealer to troubleshoot, so you get sent on your way with "could not replicate problem".ford has been claiming it is condensation in the inter-cooler, has issued computer updates numerous times, now they have released and upgraded inter-cooler, but the problems are still happening.
My 2011 f-150 would not go into reverse and it would not show up in the in the indicator. It required the replacement of the molded lead frame in the transmission to correct the transmission range sensor issue. There was a recall issued by ford (12c23) that covered the same issue for 2011 - 2013 model year f-150 with 6r80 transmission. My f-150 was not in the manufacture date range, but it has all the issues that were in the 12c23 recall. This was brought to fords attention, but they indicated that it is not part of this recall, even though it is the same exact issue.i have attached the recall notice for reference.this recall should be extended to cover all 2011 f-150 that have this exact same issue as indicated in the recall.it also should be noted that they did issue a recall 19n01 for the mold lead frame for this f-150, but refuse to cover the repair due to the fact that the specific codes for this recall were not present.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 45 mph, the gear shifted from fourth to first gear unintentionally. Also, the check engine and power train fault warning indicators illuminated. The contact also mentioned that the rear wheels seized and the gear selector was not engaging into the selected gear. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission range sensor circuit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 117,000.
The eco boost v 6 motor started missing under acceleration causing massive loss of power on the highway. Took the truck to friendly ford in springfield missouri for immediate repairs. They admitted the cause was a design flaw on the inter cooler which in turn caused failure of three solenoids to fail.july 2013 i was accelerating onto highway and the miss fire happened again and did not quit until i pulled off the road and turned the motor off and then restarted the engine. The service rep at the ford dealer reported the problem was extremely common and suspected a recall was coming. I asked him why ford was not standing behind the obvious and dangerous design flaw and he said he thought they would have to eventually due to the magnitude of the problem.. I was charged $620.51 to correct very dangerous problems directly related to a ford design problem.
As one is coming to a complete stop and even as one slowly comes out of a complete stop it feels like the power pops into the gear. The bump is only felt the moment just before a complete stop and the moment of coming out of complete stop. The popping happens 80% of the time while coming to a complete stop but 100% of the time while accelerating out of a compleate stop. Has not happened at all while driving through the other gears.
I have been having transmission issues.i took my car in while it was under warranty and they said there was a warranty and that would fix my problem.since my issue at the time was spuratic i left the dealer thinking it was fine.the last time i made an appointment for the dealer and i brought it in and they said again that there was a recall and they fixed that and they said there was no time for the repair and to bring it in again at a later date and they were booked far out in the future.when i brought it back i am now not covered under my warranty by time not miles.my car downshifts and i hear a thunk when coming to a stop and it down shifts no matter what speed.i see there is another recall that had my symptoms for my year and model but they said that my car is not in that recall.
I was merging into traffic after picking up my daughter from daycare. I pressed down on the accelerator firmly to gain speed to get into traffic. My truck stalled with a pinging noise coming from the engine and an uncharacteristic black smoke pouring out of the exhaust pipe. Oncoming traffic had to brake to avoid hitting my truck on my daughters side. The truck recovered but only gradually picked up speed with very little power. It was a low constant acceleration. This is the 4th time this has happened with my truck but this time it endangered my daughter so i feel that i need to speak out. This needs to be addressed before my 1.5 year old daughter or someone else gets hurt due to faulty equipment.
While doing 70 mph on nys thruway transmission suddendly down shifted causing rear wheels to lock up and almost being rear ended by tractor trailer.took it to dealer today and they informed me that since it was recalled in 2006 for same issue that i would now have to pay to get transmission taken out and have wiring in tranny replaced to correct the proplem. Because it has branded title which it had when they reprogramed it the first time

The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to autonation ford arlington (1400 interstate 20 w, arlington, tx 76017, (817) 200-4503) where it was diagnosed with needing the lead frame to be replaced. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with nhtsa campaign number: 19v075000 (power train) however, the vin was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 220,000.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 35-45 mph, the vehicle downshifted to first gear with the service engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the instrument panel also became inoperable. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. Gator ford located at 11780 tampa gateway blvd, seffner, fl 33584, (813) 321-3281, was contacted by phone and informed of the failure. The contact was informed that the vin was not subjected to nhtsa campaign number:16v248000 (power train) or 19v075000 (power train). The manufacturer was not contacted or informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
Transmission range sensor is malfunctioning. Truck shifts gears erratically, reverse lights will not operate creating a safety hazard. The shifting is also a safety hazard due to the inability to maintain control of my speed on the interstate. At times the reverse lights will come on while driving in traffic even if the vehicle is moving forward. Ford has issued a recall for the same problems for the same vehicle built in the same plant, however the manufacture date for the recall begins in august of 2011, my truck was built in june of 2011. Therefore my truck is not covered. I have already been placed at risk for an accident for this issue. I feel this is a defect already acknowledged by ford, and can't understand why they wouldn't choose to fix every vehicle affected by this instead of just a few.

Started vehicle in garage, depressed brake, moved shift selector to reverse position and "r" indicator didn't light, vehicle wouldn't move in reverse. Would move forward & "d" indicator lit. Turn vehicle off, restarted, moved shift lever to "r" indicator and it lit and vehicle would move. This happened 3 times between 12/21/2018 & 12/25/2018. Had friend try shifting while i watched rear backup lights. They lit when "r" would light, and wouldn't light when "r" wouldn't light. Also on 25th, all shifter positions wouldn't light when returning home. Very scary!

Have researched and found ford recall 19s07, this is everything the truck is doing, no letters have been sent. How can i get a case number to take to dealership to have fixed
At 50 mph while accelerating in traffic the engine shook and i lost power. This only happens with the ecoboost engine. Ford told the nhtsa this was corrected and the suit was ended. Ford will not install this repair in my truck.
The speedometer begins swinging erratically then the truck automatically downshifts from 6th gear to 1st gear at full highway speed (70 mph) causing the back tires to lock up and skid down the road.extremely dangerous.contacted ford and they said they were aware of the problem and there is actually a recall on this very problem, but not for my truck since it was not within the recall dates by a few months.took the truck to two different ford dealerships and they said they don't know what is wrong with it, but could do the work outlined in the recall as long as i paid for it.see attached recall notice from ford's website- ford issues safety recall and customer satisfaction program for certain 2011-2012 ford f-150, and 2012 ford expedition, ford mustang and lincoln navigator vehicles in north america to update powertrain control module software and inspect for certain diagnostic trouble codesford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 202,000 2011-2012 ford f-150, and 2012 ford expedition, ford mustang and lincoln navigator vehicles for a potential issue with the output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame. Under certain conditions, the transmission controls could force a temporary downshift into first gear. Depending on the speed of the vehicle at the time of the downshift, the driver could experience an abrupt speed reduction that could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. This condition could result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.ford is aware of three reports of accidents and no injuries related to this condition.
Electronic power steering (epsa) is leaking water and power steering fluid. It's making noises and i am scared to drive it since this is my main transportation for work and family.i've read about this issue and people saying their wheels have locked up and just missed fatal accidents especially doing higher speeds on highway travel. Is it going to take a death before this part is recalled? truck comes to a quick stop like its jumping gears.
While traveling down i-55, towing my travel trailer on a trip from st. Louis, mo to gulf shores, al, vehicle experienced a total loss of power on the interstate. I had been driving multiple hours in the rain when in jackson, ms, i had to let off the gas to allow other vehicles to merge onto the highway. When i re-applied the gas, the vehicle started shaking violently and would not accelerate. This caused the vehicle to lose speed and drop from around 60mph to 35mph on the interstate. After letting off and re-applying gas about three times the vehicle finally recovered and i was able to continue on my way. Luckily the other drivers on the highway were able to avoid me and i was not rear-ended or otherwise caused a serious accident.
I have taken my truck in several times for transmission problems and ford refuses to do anything about it.i can be at a total stop with my foot on the brake and the noise it is almost as if somebody has ran into me.rear axle and drive train are also making noises.i have attached a document that i have received from rod baker ford for how many times the truck was brought in.

I entered my vin and it shows no recalls on my truck but when i tried looking up what's going on with it i seen a recall regarding the exact same thing. Idk if it's because it's canadian or why.
Transmission slams between gears and the drive train "acts" like it is sticking in four wheel drive when at slow speeds going around corners and starting out when you turn the steering wheel.it has become progressively worse and i am concerned that it will break or even worse when out of warranty then break.

The vehicle does not have heated seats.the passenger seat heats up to an unconfirmed level causing your lower back and butt to burn.concerned this may cause a fire under passenger in seat.
The 40/20/40 bucket seat is unsafe due to non-adjustably for human size differences.this is an un-ergonomic seat and will cause long term joint and spine arthritis pain.these bucket seats are molded to fit a one size fits all.very unhealthy.also the drivers side hand grip is missing. This requires a further reach to the steering wheel to enter the cab.the extended reach causes joint and muscle pain.again, another unsafe ergonomic problem.
Seat heating element burning open. This could cause a fire. Looking for a recall on these elements. They now sell a heaven duty element.
My heated seat drivers side became very hot - causing small red spot on my leg. Pulled seat cover which had become distorted and discovered heated seat element had shorted out melting copper wiring and burning a hole in foam seat cushion.

Checked google search and there are many people having issues with these elements. I saved cover, and element and have pictures available.
Console lid associated with the split bench seat.latch, which is plastic, has broken off twice.although fixed by warranty, i can see where this will be a continuing problem until the plastic is replaced with metal.
Ever since the day i purchased my 2011 ford f-150 it has had an extremely irritating as well as distracting vibration at highway speeds.

No matter what i do the trucks shakes/vibrates at highway speeds. Please help!!

My driver side seat heater would get really hot and eventually just quit working.i checked the obvious causes, (blown fuses & heating element connection) and found nothing wrong.i then decided to look online and noticed several individuals had experienced the same issue.the cause in many cases was the seat heating element (ford part number 9l3z14d696c) had burnt up causing damage the seat foam and in some cases burnt the seat cover.i removed my seat to see if this was the same issue i was having and discovered the same issue many others had experienced (see attached pictures.)i ordered the same part 9l3z14d696c for $30 from my local dealership and it's working again but for how long'i'm surprised that ford has not already addressed this issue.this definitely could have been a lot worse had the seat caught fire while i was driving, or while remote starting my truck (the seat heaters were set to come on when the truck was remote started.)this is definitely an issue that should be looked into before it becomes a bigger issue in the future.
Rear sliding window defroster stopped working and driver's side heated seat also stopped working. Prior to heated seat stopping to work, it became so hot it actually made my leg so hot it hurt.if i was wearing shorts skin would of been burnt.at the time seat and defroster stopped working i smelled wires burning.googled these problems i saw this is a very common occurrence.took my truck to dealership, ford will fix seat , but it will cost me $100 deductible.rear window defroster is not covered by my extended warranty.at this time waiting to hear back from ford.there are at least 20-30 complaints on this site about rear defroster, ford needs to be held accountable for this defect.
Steering wheel shakes real bad on stopping the harder the stop the worse it shakes this truck has 16000 miles on it now and the problem seems to have started after the 1st service and tire rotation (about 8500 miles) although it did not start immediately after but rather seemed to get worse over time from that pointi believe that it is warped brake rotors possibly from cheap or defective oem parts the truck has never been off road or abused just daily drive to from work 19 miles each way.
No brakes when first started up. I had to throw it in park to keep from running over hill.after searching on line i find that this is a common problem with ecoboost trucks. Ford should recall these and put the updated part on.
Brake failure - 2011 ford f-150, 6 speed transmission, brakes failed from a firm response to zero response (brake peddle went full in).shop informed me master cylinder seal failed dumping brake fluid into the booster.

Going up highway @ 55mph. Pulled around a vehicle to pass. Once, i was in the oncoming traffic the engine suddenly lost power, chugged, and was stumbling over itself. I then got back behind the vehicle i was passing. The 4 passengers and i were all quiet and then freaked out.after a while we pulled out and accelerated to go up road again, truck dogged out. We had no clue what was happening, but everyone was freaked out. We called birthday party destination to tell them we have vehicle trouble and can't make it. Drove it down hill all the while worried the engine was going to blow. Drove it directly to dealership who stated they had no clue and did not want us to leave it there. Said set up appt. 7-10 days out. Parked it until appt. Then they replaced all spark plugs.we also have had troubles with the braking. Where it suddenly takes extra effort and requires the driver to press hard on the brakes to get it to slow down. When we've driven it to ford for repair they throw their hands up, act frustrated, like they do not have any clue as to what the problems are. We were hesitant to renew our state tags as it sits parked most of the time, since it chugged on level surface with no rain present, and the mechanics light came on. We feel scared driving it and it has remained parked for 3+ weeks. This is our newest vehicle, which looks new and yet we can't drive it. We're not made out of money, and can not easily replace this truck. We want ford to fix the engine and the brakes, and not act like they have no idea about these problems.ford wants us to take the loss on the vehicle value or continue driving it until something bad happens. They want nothing in writing. And, we do not want to sell the vehicle to a stranger. We'd allow you to inspect our vehicle....and drive it for a test drive. Would you want to be driving this vehicle with your young children as passengers?
While driving the vehicle around 45 to 50 mph the vehicle started skidding. The brakes were not applied when this happened the vehicle just started skidding on its own. The vehicle sounded like the transmission was coming apart. I contacted ford and told them about the issue and they said there were no recalls on the vehicle. I told them the this was a safety issue and that my wife has back problems and that when the vehicle started skidding it jerked us forward. If there would have been vehicles behind us or if we were going thru an intersection this could have caused a serious accident. They told me ford was not responsible and that i should take the vehicle in and have it serviced. We were driving on a highway when this occured.
While backing out of my driveway one morning i was not able to brake because my brake pedal felt like it had seized and was stiff. I pushed extremely hard and it helped the vehicle slow down and there was a slight grinding sound. After the truck sat for a few minutes, the brakes began to work. This has happened to me on several different occasions now where when the truck has been idle not running for approximately 8 or more hours, the brakes seize and do not work for the first few minutes. I believe that this is caused by the electronic vacuum pump for the brakes malfunctioning. This is a serious safety concern because if the brakes should give out while i am on a main road and going full speed, lives could be in danger.
While driving at approx 65-70 mph on the entrance ramp to route 114 east bound from route 287 south bound (rhome, tx.) the brake light warning announced in the truck. I then went to test the brakes as they went all the way to the floor, i was slowing down but not much. I then had to use the manual transmission and downshift. Finally coming to a complete stop approx 3/4 to a mile down the road. Thankful no traffic at this time 615 pm (approx). The service report is attached the rear seal in the master cylinder failed, cause the booster to drawn in air and fail as well. As a not when the vehicle was stop i opened the hood and checked the brake reservoir was empty and you could hear air being sucked in. I had my 13 yr old daughter in the truck with me, as we were returning from her horse riding lessons. I don't image this "just fails" also as a note the vehicle was checked to include the brakes 04/01/2017 at that time the brake system was flushed - and another service (spark plugs) 04/10/2017 - in the looked at brake fluids and pads and rotors. No issues found, i also had checked my fluids on the weekend of may 6th, again no issues.
Vacuum pump will fail on truck.went to put the vehicle into gear.released the brake and it started to move too quickly.tried to reapply the brake and there was nothing.pedal went to the floor and it took max effort to stop the vehicle that had just been put into gear.the problem couldn't be replicated.this happened twice more and once to the service tech.very scary!turns out the vacuum pump had seized causing there to be no power boost.once the engine has run for a while the engine will provide the boost, it's only when first starting the vehicle that there is no boost.there is no warning light to indicate the low vacuum condition and 90% of the time there isn't a noticeable problem.until they can't stop, the owner doesn't know the pump had failed months earlier.this can be quite dangerous because of the chance of a slow speed crash.currently there is a back order on the pumps so i have to drive the vehicle knowing that i might not be able to stop in time.
We purchased the vehicle in july 2014. We noticed after buying it that when starting the truck, the brakes are hard and no stopping ability. Once you pump it a couple of times and go to drive the brakes work normally. We talked to people in general and said some vehicles are prone to that issue when starting and that it's not a big deal. If you happen to be on a grade when this happens, you do drift until pressure is built up. I did some research online and found a video that explains the issue very well. It is a safety issue and a simple but costly fix. It has an electric brake pump instead of a mechanical one and seizes up when the vehicle is parked for prolonged amounts of time. We took the truck to ford to have some work done when the mechanic brought up the brake pump and said the vehicle is unsafe to drive as is incase the pump would fully go out. It is over a $700 fix with labor and is something that was faulty in the engineering of the truck model and produces a safety risk for the driver and others in the surrounding area. Http://youtu.be/sxo2qvwbdkii attached the link to the video explaining the pumps issue in regarding to the trucks size.
I have a 2011 ford f150 ecoboost. I received a extended warranty for issues occurring with the electric vacuum pump. I have diagnosed an issue with the brakes after starting the truck up. I started the truck up put it in reverse backed down the driveway and lost all ability to brake and stop the truck. If there was a vehicle or individual behind me there could have been an accident where injury or death could have occurred due to the inability to stop the truck with the brake pedal. I brought the truck to the dealership with the issue and they ignored the electric vacuum pump stating that it was the master piston and it would cost 700 dollars to fix. After doing research i believe i was lied too after others have reenacted the same situation that has occurred to me. If the braking issue occurs more than once i will escalate this issue to higher authority individuals at ford. This issue must be fixed before injury, death or litigation occurs.
Temporary hard brake pedal condition at start-up followed by more normal pedal feel after a few seconds. When you first start moving you have to almost stand on the brakes pedal to get it the car to stop.
Brake vacuum pump failed which resulted in brake pedal being very stiff and brakes being very poor after a cold start.
Vacuum pump is defective and loses vacuum which causes brake booster to lose pressure and causes brakes to become defective upon start-up. Pump was replaced on 10/13, which corrected the issue for 4 months, pump was replaced again on 6/14 and is now failing and giving fault codes again (7/14).
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While attempting to engage the brakes, the brakes failed to stop the vehicle. The contact mentioned that the brakes resumed normal function only after shutting the ignition off and restarting the vehicle. The dealer diagnosed that the power brake vacuum booster malfunctioned and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 15,000.
Master cylinder booster.backed out of drive and went forward. Pushed brakes and the brake pedal went all the way to floor. This happened on a city street with no warning. Took truck to ford dealer and they replaced master cylinder bypass and bleed system.there is a recall on the -150's but was informed mine wasn't covered.
F-150 ecoboost 3.5 l shifting to drive from park, brakes become stiff and will not stop vehicle at idle. After several attempts, engine vacuum returns brake assist. Appears to be a failure with the electronic brake vacuum pump. This only occurs at startup.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 5 mph and depressed the brake pedal to stop at a stop sign, the anti lock brake warning indicator illuminated. The brake pedal was pumped and the vehicle slid into the intersection. The failure recurred on two other occasions. On the third occasion, while driving approximately 30 mph, the brake pedal failed to respond when depressed. The brake pedal was pumped as the contact slid into an intersection. The contact clipped the rear of a jeep that was traveling approximately 60 mph, causing the jeep to flip over twice before landing upright. The contact and the driver of the other vehicle sustained injuries that required medical attention and were transported by ambulance. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a body shop, but the failure was unable to be determined. The damage to the vehicle was repaired. The contact also stated that when the windshield wipers were powered off, they would independently swipe across the windshield approximately every ten seconds. The contact stated that the fuse had to be removed so the windshield wipers would disengage. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 59,000.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving at approximately 5 mph and then depressing the brake pedal, there was an abnormal sound emitting from the vehicle. In addition, the contact stated that the brake pedal failed to respond without. The vehicle was taken to a dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 45,000.
I have a 2011 ford f-150 super cab engine 3.5 l ecoboost. 54,000 miles (current mileage) it has a safety issue with it. The problem is that when the truck is cold like first start condition. When you either back up or go forward after a few seconds you apply the brake and it has little or no brakes like it does not have enough of pressure to run the vacuum system but after it warms up it works fine. What i found out after research is that the electronic vacuum pump is the problem. I have found this youtube clip from a ford mechanic that explains the symptoms and how to fix it etc. It will explain my problem better than me trying to type it out. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxo2qvwbdki&list=uun467fmglllk98jddjll51w.
In 2016 i went to get recall repaired from franklin tn dealership i purchased the truck from, they refused, in 2019, they claim that the software was not available from ford, online in emails to another dealer, i have not been told when to bring truck in to get all recalls repaired. Both dealerships are in tn. When in first gear, the truck will jerk back down and won't allow me to go to 2nd gear without pressing hard on gas, loud fan noise from the hood, breaks go to the floor and i have to pump to feel truck slowing down, air and heat continue to not work, air won't get cool and heat won't get hot, both dealerships have refused to repair or blamed ford for not giving them what they needed to fix the recalls. I am documenting so my family will be able to give this to attorney. The down shift happens when the truck is in drive moving on any and every street, parking lot, stop light/sign. The loud fan noise from the engine only happens when the truck is started, the brakes have been going to the floor for 8 years at different times of the day/night when driving.
Loss of power brakes upon initial start-up and movement. The vacuum pump that provides assistance to power brakes and 4x4 wheel hubs fails without notice. Driver expects to stop vehicle under normal operating pressure applied to brake pedal. Vehicles does not respond to normal force and keeps moving. Extreme force to be provide to brake pedal to slow vehicle to a stop. This could result in injury or death if another person in the path of the vehicle. Ford will not recall or cover repairs of faulty pump. Pump is located behind front headlight on vehicle. Cost of part is $565 + labor to repair to be paid by owner. Serious safety concern for persons near vehicle without proper operation of braking system. An investigation needs to be opened immediately upon ford. Understanding is that ford redesigned vacuum system for 2014 model year to correct safety issue. Redesign should be mandated on previous model years to correct safety issue.
My breaks made a growling sound from the front left side behind the headlight. As time went on it got louder and the breaks were harder to apply in order to stop the vehicle. I took my truck to the local ford dealer and they replaced the vacuum pump.they charged me $597.40 for this repair that i feel should have been covered by a ford recall! the dealer told me that they had this same problem with numerous other trucks.i feel that this should have been a recall.
Pickup does not have brakes during initial cold start up. The brake pedal is hard as a rock and will not stop truck. Can not park in garageas may hit house or garage or kids when backing out.dealer will did not warranty as it was over the warranty period by aprox 1000 miles and 1 month.
Driving home i started to hear and feel this noise on my engine like a clicking/grounting sound. I could hear it more when making turnes and when slowing down. Next day i got on my truck and when in reverse my truck would't let me because it looks likethe front tires are locked. And can only go forward. The transmission does not go in reverse, transmission shift lever sequence starter interlock, and transmission braking effect. Transmission range sensor (trs) that was calibrated out of specification for reverse gear.
While backing out of garage, after truck sat overnight,i had extremely hard brake pedal and almostno brakes, narrowly missing a parked car.after engine operates for a while, brakes return to normal operation.the problem occurs now when the trucksits overnight.
When my steering started to shake when i applied the brakes i removed the wheel and brake calipers to inspect them. The inside rotor surface is not as wide as the outside so the brake pads do not contact the entire surface of the rotor like the outside. It looks to me like the rotor was defective when installed. The brakes have 41000 miles on them and are less than half worn out. They are the original brakes.
Brakes are rock hard in the morning and vehicle is extremely difficult to stop.called local ford dealer and at first didn't acknowledge an issue with this vehicle.called them back in a couple weeks, since they didn't call me back.they said i need a vacuum pump without ever looking at the vehicle.said they would cover the repair under warranty since i was about 8 months past the 3 years, even though i was under the 60,000 miles.they quoted a cost of over $700 dollars to fix it.
No brake boost upon starting, when you start the motor when cold there is no brake vacuum boost for about 15 to 20 seconds.. The "brake assist pump" behind the left headlamp corrodes and locks up and untill the motor gets enough vacuum there is very little braking ability. Ford gave me a new pump but i had to [xxx], i know you are looking into this, just wanted to let you know. This could very easily be a very dangerous situation. There should be a recall. Please don't wait until a child gets crushed under a pick-up to act.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
When i first start my f150 2011 and move it the brake pedal is hard as a rock it will take at least a few minutes to get back to normal, but it happens all the time when first start up. I did some research and found that a vacuum pump that provides power braking gets corroded. In my opinion this part should be recall because is a safety issue you could loose braking, i checked on the part and it cost around 600.00. This issue should be looked into before someone gets hurt.
I was driving down my street and braked to pull into my driveway, after in my driveway i touched the accelerator (to get up the slight grade) and my truck went wide open throttle!! i mashed on the brake but the truck continued to accelerate uncontrollably and crashed into my brick home.even after impact and me continuing to apply full brake it was still wide open throttle and burning out.i finally came to my senses and shut the ignition off and the stopped it.i had the truck towed to my local dealer as recommended by ford customer care rep.the dealership ran a diagnostics check and found nothing as well as tried to get it to duplicate the problem with no luck.i had a state trooper certified in downloading event recorder data do such to my truck.the data shows exactly what happened..but does not differentiate between the accelerator being pushed vs.the accelerator position as indicated. However, it does show service brake applied and continual acceleration at the same time which i can prove was not done by me!i have pictures of abrasions to my right shin and knee from the steering column and dash..my right foot was fully applied on the brake pedal causing the abrasions at impact due to being directly in line with the steering column.my left leg had zero abrasions...since to the left of the steering column.if i was to be responsible for the data shown in the down load i would of had to have my left foot on the brake and thus sustaining abrasions to that leg.it is also impossible to use the right foot to brake and accelerate simultaneously to achieve the acceleration indicated...ones leg has to be cocked to the side and out of line of the steering column.everything on my pickup is oem....including the floor mats...which contrary to some beliefs that could be the cause.my truck has sat at the dealership untouched since they looked at it.
2011 f-150 ecoboost:my brakes have been failing on cold start-up for approximately 18 months.braking is so hard in the morning, truck will not stop.i brought this to the attention of the benna ford dealership in superior, wi on two occasions and they did nothing.i then did a little research on-line and determined hundreds of other 2011 f-150 ecoboost owners have complained of the same issue and it was determined that it was a flawed design of the vacuum pump.this is a very expensive part that is directly related to safety upon cold braking.why has the nhtsa done nothing about this known problem for the past 2 years when this should have been a recall?i had to pay over $500 for a new vacuum pump that should never go bad
Complete brake failure.this is an absolute safety issue as i could not stop my truck until i put the vehicle in park nearly hitting another vehicle.the brakes will not stop the vehicle on cold start as the rpm's run slightly higher at idle.took 2011 f150 to dealer for servicing of the brakes and dealer was able to replicate issue and stated vacuum assist pump is not working and will be covered under a recall.brake vacuum pump was changed, dealer tested and called me and said truck was repaired.i pick the truck up from the dealer and back up, again no brakes, brake pedal is to the floor as i am still moving in reverse i put shifter into neutral and come to a stop.i then shift into drive to park the truck and again no brakes and drive over the curb protecting ford service department building before coming to a stop.dealer performs maintenance and finds that the brake booster has an internal issue causing bleed offloss in pressure.i ask if this is a recall item and the dealer states that it is not.waiting for repair to be completed and will cost $500 for parts and labor and was stated that this was a highly discounted rate.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving at various speeds, the brake pedal was depressed abruptly and hesitated to respond for a great distance. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was unable to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 82,000.
Vacuum pump failed and truck could not stop at intersection!
It is scary when the the break pedal locks in midair. We have to press it several times to get it to go down to the floor. This delays stopping the truck in a timely fashion. Also there is a humming/ rattling sound in the vehicle. The truck has been off the road at least a month until we can afford to get this issue fixed. After calling the dealership we discovered that the truck was entitled to the customer satisfaction program extended warrentee notice 15n05 posted in 2016. However, it does not apply to our vehicle because it has 188,000 miles. This program should have been a recall matter since so many f150's had the same problem. It's not fair that so many people had to fight to the right to fix the issue and ford only gives consumers with over 150,000 miles just over one year to get it repaired for free. Now we are forced to pay out of pocket for a defective electric vacuum pump which would have ended our worries with the breaks and the rattling sound. We would greatly appreciate help in getting ford to extend some of the manufacture warrantees and recalls to our ford f150 so that we could return to using our family/work truck safely. Thank you.
After the truck had been parked for a week, i started the vehicle and proceeded to move it. There were no brakes for about 3-4 minutes. Every time the vehicle would be parked overnight, the brakes would be inadequate until they had been depressed several times. After that, they would be fine until it was parked for more than a few hours. On june 3, i took the truck to the dealer to have them looked at. At that time, i was informed that the brake booster had a leak, and they proceeded to replace the booster at my expense. They are now operating to my satisfaction.
My wife had to move my truck so the kids had more room to play in the driveway. No big deal, right? wrong. She starts to back down the driveway (which has a moderate grade) and i notice a look of panic on her face, coupled with the fact that the truck wasn't stopping, i could see something was wrong. She finally got it stopped right before going out onto the road. She jumped out and said, "your brakes wouldn't work. I was pressing as hard as i could and it wouldn't stop." i got in the truck and carefully tried to duplicate the situation, and sure enough, more often than not it had a hard time stopping. I did some research and found there are plenty of cases like this. Some people actually crashed their vehicle. This seems to be a really dangerous problem that needs to be addressed by ford. And i will note this is not the first dangerous problem i've had with this truck. I'm sure ford will tell me they can't help me, leaving me to foot the bill for a problem that seems to be rather common, and should be addressed by them. Just like they did to me before.
From a cold start, the service brakes did not work upon initial application.with extreme pedal pressure, truck eventually stopped rolling narrowly avoiding impact.incident occurred in our driveway.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving at various speeds, the brake pedal was depressed abruptly and hesitated to respond for a great distance. The contact also noticed smoke under the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the electronic brake pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 282,830.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While attempting to engage the brakes, the brake pedal became difficult to depress. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the electronic brake vacuum pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred two months later. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 58,000.
Tried to apply the brakes and the brake pedal went to the floor without actuating the brakes.this happened suddenly and with no warning of any kind prior to the failure.i had to use the parking brake to bring the vehicle to a stop.the "brake fluid low" warning came on in the instrument cluster. The warning and the failure happened simultaneously, i.e. There was no indication of a problem until the braking system failed entirely.the vehicle had no braking action at all from the hydraulic brake system.upon inspection the seals in the master cylinder appear to have failed, pulling all of the brake fluid into the brake vacuum-booster.it is my understanding that a problem identical to this one led to several accidents and a recall in the 2013-2015 f150.clearly the issue is not limited to those model years as my truck is a 2011.
After starting vehicle and shifting into reverse, brakes are hard to press, leading to increased stopping distance. Has happened once in drive, only right after starting vehicle.
The brakes do not work in the morning when i start up my vehicle.
While traveling the vehicle unexpectedly puts itself into park.the vehicle then locks up the breaks and skids across the road.after skidding the vehicle's throttle does not work and the vehicle is inoperable. This has happened for approximately two (2) years.it has happened while driving at high speed (70 mph) on a limited access highway facility.it has occurred at stop lights.in one instance while at a stop light the vehicle ceased to operate and was struck by another vehicle.last week was notified by the vehicle manufacturer that they were conducting a recall for the exact reason that has caused me problems for the past two years.the malfunction has caused mechanical damages to the vehicle's suspension, steering, tires, and acceleration.the vehicle vibrates uncontrollably at any speed over 35 mph.there are also rattling inside and outside of the vehicle.
Vehicle service brake lost power assist accompanied by loud noise underhood possible electric brake assist fault. Repair facility unable to duplicate problem at this time.
The brakes on our truck have started to fail when the vehicle is first started.it used to be less frequent and only after sitting over night but has increased in occurrence and is now occurring each time you start the vehicle.if you put the truck in drive, there is a mushy brake pedal and the anti-lock brakes kick in.in reverse, the pedal is mushy and there are no brakes.once the truck has been running for a few minutes and you have pumped the brake, the brakes seem to work okay.the dealership service department has replaced the vacuum booster but this did not fix the problem.because the problem has gotten worse and more frequently, it is worries one that it may happen when driving.we trailer a lot and we live on a very steep graded road.
As i start my 2011 ford f150 3.5 ecoboostafter it has sat for some time, such as overnight, i have no power brakes for 30 to 45 seconds, the pedal becomes stiff and the truck keeps moving even under heavy breaking. This is dangerous because i often park on an incline or on a steep grade. I have also lost my power brakes when i was pulling a trailer and had to take evasive maneuvers and use the transmission to slow me down until my brakes came back. At no time did i get a warning that my brakes were failing or any kind of code to check brakes i talked to the dealership and the said it was a common problem and that the brake vacuum pump had gone out. And they said for 600.00 they would replace the pump. I decided against it and he told me it would be fine to drive it like that. This seems so dangerousand ford is unconcerned about possible brake failure and an accident. I don't let my wife drive it anymore because i'm not sure she would know what to do if it happens while she is driving.
At roughly 32000 miles, in october of 2014 i experienced a failure of the electric brake vacuum assist.the symptoms were that the pump constantly ran and could audibly be heard where it was not previously constantly running.as soon as i noticed a change i reported the issue to johnson ford in pittsfield ma..the pump was replaced in october of 2014 under warranty.no recall or campaign has been implemented for this condition but numerous reports by ford owners have been made regarding the same condition. I believed the audible noise i was hearing was a steering component because i was simultaneously having an issue with "notchy" steering.while negotiating a long, gradual turn my steering would lock while turning left.the wheel would lock when the top of the steering wheel was in the area of the 10 o'clock position.no crash occurred but the condition was very unsafe.the vehicle had to be driven erratically to remedy the condition.a hard yank on the wheel was necessary to forcibly increase steering input.the steering components were alsoreplaced in october of 2014 by johnson ford under warranty.no recall or campaign has been implemented for this condition but numerous reports have been made regarding the same condition. The electric vacuum assist replaced in october of 2014, nine months ago was the same part with no updates as the one that failed.i again hear the vacuum assist motor running almost constant as it was when replaced.the truck is no longer under warranty.i have only had this vacuum assist for nine months. I spoke with ford customer service. No warranty is available as i have driven the truck in excess of 12,000 miles (12,200 miles at the time i reported the problem).the customer service employee offered no service other than to bring it to ford at my expense for repairs, $130.00 diagnosis, $580 pump, $200.00 labor.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While reversing at a low speed, the brake pedal was depressed, however, it took a longer distance to stop the vehicle. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 40,000. Updated 02/10/16*lj; 4/30/18the consumer stated that the vacuum pump needed to be replaced.
Truck is equipped with an eco-boost motor. Upon putting truck in reverse and backing down driveway, the brakes would not work to stop the vehicle. The pedal was hard to push and acted as if something was stuck under pedal. Driver went into neighbors yard and before striking the house, put the truck in park to stop. There was no objects behind pedal. After re-starting vehicle a few minutes later, brakes then worked as designed. The truck was brought to dealer were the abs system was being looked at. After a week of miss-diagnosing, vehicle owner was told to pick up vehicle and experienced the same issue in the dealer parking lot and showed the mechanic and service writer and they concurred that there was a real safety problem. Upon leaving in rental car, vehicle owner witnessed a porter crash vehicle into a parked car. It was later determined that the brake booster assembly was faulty.
While driving down the highway the fault code for timing chain p0016 came on and engine seized in the middle of the highway. I lost all power steering and brake power which caused me to almost collide with other vehicles trying to get off the highway with no power.after finally getting truck on the off ramp it took all i had to get it to stop at the intersection putting my life and the driver of the suv at the intersection life in danger.
Upon starting vehicle and beginning movement, the brakes do not work for a short time.engine light has came on.pressing on gas pedal movement is sluggish.
Truck sometimes has almost no brakes after cold start.34004 miles
This truck and others of the same design up until 2013 have a bad electric vacuum assist pump. My pump malfunctioned and without any warning or dash lights the truck lost brake assist rendering it impossible to stop. The turbocharged v6 ecoboost requires vacuum assist and this pump is known for issues. Ford has no parts on hand and people are forced to drive death traps with no brakes. Ford is aware there is a problem and changed the 2014 model however provide zero safety relief for previous owners now stuck with no brakes and no parts. Only my quick reflexes taking the truck out of gear saved me from driving into my home through my garage wall.
Started truck, put in drive went 25 feet applied brakes, truck did not want to stop.peddle was hard as a rock and would not go down.i let up on the peddle and applied again, this time it worked a little.did it one more time and it worked fine.
The truck brakes did not work once the vehicle was started.the engine was at fast idle, placed in drive and the brakes would not function.this lurched the truck forward while extreme pressure was applied to stop it.dangerous in a parking setting where a pedestrian is walking in front or behind the truck.it jumps forwards or back, depending if drive or reverse is selected.as time went by the brakes became weaker when applying at stops.as i reflect back in the past when pulling a trailer it hit the backend of another vehicle in an emergency stopping situation on the interstate.the truck would park well in the garage, but when pulling out you have to be aware of it lurching into the house or another vehicle.took the truck to ford dealer which diagnosed it as a brake vacuum pump failure.the eco boost engine is turbo charged which robs the vacuum system of needed vacuum. To supplement the need for vacuum this vacuum pump was engineered into the system to provide additional vacuum.if it failures the brakes fail also.the 2014 models have been reengineered to a mechanical pump eleminating the electrical pump. The ford service man said that there have been a range of numerous brake failures due to this pump configuration. The ford garage charged $832.57 to get us back on the road and for us to have a safe trip.
Brakes are ineffective in a panic stop.on dry pavement the brakes cannot be applied hard enough to lock the wheels and activate the abs function.stopping distances are much longer than normal and safe.compared to other f150's with he same body style and engine the brakes are drastically different and much worse in stopping distances (rough test stop from 30 mph in 28 ft compared to 15 ft, stop from 40 mph in 46ft compared to 28 ft)dealer has attempted repair 4 times with no improvement at all and now ford has determined that the brakes are functioning normally and that "some trucks will stop better than others".if this is in fact true there may be many f150's on the road with substandard brakes which the owners may not suspect because they have not been tested in emergency situations.my vehicle is dramatically worse than other f150's that i have driven and i am being told that it is functioning normally.normal in this instance is not safe.
Power train coming on all time / brake problems/ light coming on all times
Same as recall # 19s07, driving on highway 40-45 mph suddenly downshifting to 1st causing vehicle to squeak and jerk thinking i was in a rear end collision,stopping traffic,getting out of vehicle and confronting driver to the rear.ford said wrong vin and charged $150 for update.
I have a 2011 ford f-150 fx4 ecoboost with 44,100 miles. When the truck is first started after sitting for 4 hours plus, the braking system fails until the vehicle has been running for a couple of minutes at which point the braking system comes back.this happens every morning when backing down a flat driveway or backing out of my parking space at work (truck has been sitting for 8 hours).from what i am reading, this appears to be a common issue with 2011 ford f-150 ecoboost trucks.i brought this issue up with my local ford dealership and they said there was nothing they could do about it.
When starting the truck and backing out of my garage, i had no power assist brakes. I was able to press harder on the brakes, however i did come close to hitting my house and the abs was activated. This is the second time this has happened with this vehicle. The first time was taken care of under warranty around 26000 miles. I was informed that since the vehicle is outside of bumper to bumper warranty coverage, and it has been over a year since i had this part replaced last, it would be around $600 for parts and labor out of pocket (for something that has failed twice in about 51000 miles).
No braking when just starting up. When you start the vehicle and shift into gear the brake pedal is very hard and it is very difficult to get stopped. I searched the internet for similar problems and found many instances of the same issue. Apparently the brake booster vacuum pump seizes so no power brake assist is available. After the engine runs for a short period the brakes will function normally. You will get no notice that this condition exists via a warning light or check engine light. This situation is very dangerous, a building, a tree, or a person could be behind you and you would not be able to stop. Ford must be aware of this problem because they re-designed the pump for the 2013 model year but have not recalled the 2011-2012 models to correct this problem. The parts are expensive ($700) and many on line posts say the parts are on back order at ford. This is a serious safety concern and should be addressed expedited.
Brake pedal goes to the floor until truck is warmed up. Front hubs don't have enough vaccum to disengage.
When coming to a stoplight on a city street, brakes were applied but the engine raced to a high rpm . Next i pushed pedal harder but rear tires were now spinning on dry pavement. I put f-150 truckinto park stopping inches from the car stopped ahead of me at stoplight.
Occasionally on initial start up the brake pedaldoes not want to depress, feels very hard and does not engage the brakes. First time it happened i was parked on a slope and the truck rolled backwards and only after stomping on the pedal with both did it stop but by that time it had rolled about 30 feet.this happened about 8 months ago, and continues to occur after the truck has not been used for several days.i haven't parked only any slopes and i always back up slowly to test them before i drive, when it happens i pump them several times and then they engage.i've had them checked by mechanic but he has not found anything defective and has not been able to duplicate the situation.other than these occurrences the braking works normally.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 50 mph, the brakes failed to engage and failed to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was merged to side of the road. The vehicle did not display any warning lights. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the brake vacuum needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. However, the failure recurred. The contact stated that the part has been replaced twice on the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 68,000. The vin was not provided.
Brakes do not work at warm temperature s
Vacuum assist pump went failed with no warning. Luckily it happened at a repair shop, but the fail was sudden and complete.if this had happened on the road either at low or high speed, it could easily resulted in loss of life. The fail was complete resulting in no way to stop the truck at all.
Vacuum pump and brake booster has failed on my f150.ford states that the vehicle is not covered under "15n05" extended coverage/recall.vehicle was manufactured at the effected plants during the time listed in the bulletin.ford is charging me over $1300 to fix my vehicle, despite this being a known safety problem.
Had ford customer satisfaction program 15n05 done on my truck january 2017 after vacuum pump noises in the front end.vehicle was at 90.5k miles then and is now at 120.5k miles.noticed a few weeks ago the vacuum pump was again making the same vibration noises at startup...probably even worse (noisier, several cycles of vibration instead of just one).since i was past their 1-year/12k mile warranty program on the unit, ford dealer and customer service have both declined to support another replacement in any way.was reading on f150 forums and other customers are experiencing the same faulty vacuum pumps after having the warranty work done. So, now i have a noisy vacuum pump and very slight pedal changes at first start-up that i must pay to fix.no incidents so far but now i'm on the hook for an additional repair after only 18months/30k miles with the ford recommend replacement pump. Nothing on vehicles these days only has a 30k mile life.that's terrible.for safety's sake, i'm going to handle this replacement on my own and have no recourse at this moment for satisfaction besides to atleast report that ford replaced an easily failing vacuum pump with another easily failing vacuum pump and they do not stand behind that work.if this safety issue was severe enough to create a satisfaction program/extended warranty program the first time around, why is safety no longer important the second time around when it is failing again?answer - because they don't have the nhtsa investigating them this time around....maybe enough complaints like mine and it will re-open the case.
The brakes fail and the pedal goes all the way to the floor.there is no warning whatsoever.i almost hit a house.i had just started the truck, shifted into gear and proceeded to move forward and when i applied the brake the truck would not stop.
The electric vacuum pump for the brake booster on my 2011 ford f150 is showing the symptoms of failure. (suddenly very loud) it's only a matter of time.ford has acknowledged that this part goes bad too quickly and offers an extended warranty for trucks showing this symptom, if the truck was built at certain plants and certain dates.my truck was built at one of those plants and between those dates, but they claim that my truck doesn't qualify for the program because supposedly the part in my truck isn't the same one even though it looks the same, it's in the same spot, it's failing the same way, and it's failing within the extended warranty period.they also say that when this part fails it can substantially reduce braking power.
Transmission unexpectedly shifts into lower gear. Was informed by ford dealer in writing that i needed to replace the lead frame assembly. Brakes fail on cold start. Vacuum pump replaced by dealer. Brakes still experience issue (as described in ford's campaign) was informed by ford that there was an issue with the brake booster.
This f150 is a 3.5 ecoboost with electric brake assist vacuum booster.the vacuum booster started making a very loud noise when applying the brakes and it felt like the braking power was diminished. I took the truck to the dealer and they told me it was the vacuum electric assist pump that was bad. They did replace it and helped me with the price even though the truck was out of warranty by time. If this comes to be a recall, i would like ford motor co. To reimburse me my out of pocket expense.
Weak brakes. Continue to drive vehicle. Dealership diagnosed problem as brake vacuum pump failure would notcover under warranty.
Service tech at dealership was test driving vehicle after a different repair. When he went to stop the brake pedal was hard as a rock and the truck would not stop. Found the vacuum brake booster went bad. This was three weeks ago and they still cannot get the part to fix it. As there are no repair parts in the system this must be a major problem with many vehicles. This is a safety issue which will get someone killed! my dealership said the truck is unsafe to drive.
Complete brake failure. Right front brake pad had over 1/3 pad material left.pad material detached from the metal pad backing plate.then the pad material got jammed in between the brake caliper bracket and the rotor.the lower caliper piston broke when i tried to stop after this happened.then all of the brake fluid leaked about leading to total brake failure. I had brake failure a few seconds before the brake light came on.when this happened i could not stop and went into a ditch to avoid traffic.brakes worked as normal before failure.brake pad failure required replacement of: right front brake caliper, right front rotor, new pads, pad glides, new brake fluid and a complete bleeding of the braking system.
I was pulling into a drive and my brake pedal went all the way to the floor.luckily there was not a car in front of me, however it took much longer to stop the truck. My mechanic said it was the brake master cylinder...at 50k miles, ford should cover this.
When the vehicle is first started, the brakes do not work. When i crank the vehicle and put in reverse the brakes do not have any pressure and the vehicle slowly grinds to a halt when i press the brakes extremely hard. About 1-2 minutes after cranking the brakes work fine. I have nearly backed down a large hill multiple times.
The brake vacuum pump is not working.i'm unable to get into my car, start it then drive off.it needs to warm up for about 5 minutes to fill the pump.based on research that i have done, there was a recall on this part 15n05.but my vehicle doesn't list it as a recall. Can i get an explanation why my vehicle doesn't list the recall?thanks
Had complete brake failure.was able to get the truck stopped.saw it was 2 pints low on fluid.added fluid, drove towards my auto shop, had to stop to fill the brake fluid again (the light went on this time).did this a few times. Just before i got to the stop, the truck blew out some smoke, chugged, and the motor seized up.towed the truck to the shop, they found out the master cylinder leaked and the vacuum lines sucked the brake fluid out of the master cylinder and dumped it into the cylinders in the motor and this blew my motor.i hear there is a recall for this on 2014 f-150s but not on the 2011.terrible design.a brake problem should not blow up my motor.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle shifted into first gear. The wheels locked, and the abs engaged. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (lake view ford, 12381 conneaut lake rd, conneaut lake, pa 16316), but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the issue and opened case number: cas-14072276. The contact was informed that the local dealer could use their pas to assist with repair fees, but no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately100,000.
I was driving the truck home from work (not experiencing any issues). I began to cross the ship channel bridge in houston, tx when my low brake fluid light came on. After i crested the top of the bridge i tested the brakes to make sure they were working properly (and they were). I decided to continue driving to the closest auto parts store to see why the light came on an to top off the fluid. When i went to exit the freeway (about 3 miles from when the light came on) i pressed the brake pedal and it went all the way to the firewall (i had lost all breaking power). I immediately pressed the emergency brake and downshifted the transmission to help me get the truck slowed down. I was able to make it to the shoulder without incident. I then had the truck towed to the dealer where they determined then cause of the brake failure was due to a rupture of the seal in the master cylinder. I had the brake booster and master cylinder replaced ($700) and they ensured me the problem was resolved.
Hard brake petal when first starting vehicle. Takes up to 60 seconds to have power brakes. I have had this problem for two plus years.
Started my vehicle and went to leave a gas station. Stepped on brakes to stop for oncoming traffic and the pedal was hard as a rock and did not stop the vehicle. Pressed super hard on the pedal and the vehicle stopped. It was fine after that until i got home, turned off the vehicle and left sit for an hour. Started vehicle and the same issue happened again. Did some research and found out about the brake vacuum pump issue. I called ford to see if my vehicle was on the extended warranty coverage (15n05), of course my vehicle was not covered. Had my wife been driving this vehicle, i do not think she would have been able to press hard enough for it to stop.
The brakes failed when backing up from a parking space at a local elementary school. Truck continued to roll backwards while stepping on the foot brake.hadbeen an intermittent issue with no ability to push down the pedal when in reverse. Later that day the brake warning lights came on indicating a braking issue.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the brake assembly failed. The vehicle was repaired by an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 39,000.
My brakes made a growling sound from the front left side behind the headlight. As time went on it got louder and the brakes were harder to apply in order to stop the vehicle.i took my truck into the local ford dealer and they replaced the vacuum pump.they charged me $597.40 for this repair that i feel should have been covered by ford.the dealer told me that they had this problem with numerous other trucks.i feel that this should have had a recall!
At times, i experience a soft brake pedal that will travel almost to the floor. And then at times i will have a harder pedal without the possibility of the pedal traveling to the floor.i have had the brake fluid flushed and this still happens on occasion. I have gone through 3 sets of brake pads on the front of my truck in 60,000 miles.i can hear the secondary pump run for a longer duration at times during start up and if i pump the brakes while stopped with the engine running.when i experience a soft pedal it travels much further before i would come to a stop compared to the harder pedal feel.also, at times it feels as if the harder pedal needs more force to experience any "normal" braking power.after experiencing this situation, then some time later i would experience a normal brake pedal.i have had my vehicle serviced at the dealer for this situation for abnormal brake wear and pedal feel, but still have had no fix for the issue.i just replaced a front brake caliper and i am currently waiting to see if this resolves the issue.
Severe vibration and pulsing when brakes were applied.i put the truck on my lift and tried to rotate the front wheels, there was severe brake drag, which made rotating the front wheels close to impossible.i removed the wheels and did a visual inspection and found that the inner brake pads were considerably more worn than the outer pads.i then removed the calipers and found that corrosion occurred binding the inner pads to the brake pad holders.i live in the north east and road salt is used in the winter months, this should be taken into consideration when the brakes are designed so that this corrosion can't occur.i corrected the problem by re-placing the rotors and brake pads, using brake lubricant to help prevent the corrosion.doing this repair corrected the problem.
Total loss of brakes, almost got into an accident. Brake light warking suddenly came on, pulled over to check, empty brake fliud, fillled up the brake fluid, in 10 minutes all the brake fluid is gone. No signs of leak on the floor. Towing it back to the hpuse
I was approaching a red light at an intersection almost in front of my work in town.i was driving approximately 25 mph on boll weevil circle and applied brakes with plenty of room to stop.my brakes didn't seem to do anything so i pushed the pedal to the floor and i was barely slowing down.i believe i was slowing only becausei wasn't accelerating.my anti lock brakes did not work.weather conditions: light rain.i did not skid! i hit the driver's side of a blazer which was coming from the right perpendicular to me. Dps case 6687819 local case 2016-07-4597.i have hands free in my vehicle but no electronic devices were in use, there were no distractions.i was alone returning to work after lunch.after having my vehicle repaired i took it to the ford dealership and told them what happened.they ran a check and replaced the vacuum pump at no charge with a different type.i have had no issues since.unfortunately, they did not cover my insurance deductible and the increase in my insurance.
Service bulletin was out for a break booster vacuum for 3 mdel years of the f150. Had taken my truck in around mid may 2016 and the part was on back order. (had a loaner truck for over a month) part was installed and had my truck back a week or two before the 4th of july 2016. Started hearing the noise again and was finally able to get my work schedule to work with me on getting my truck in today 10-17-16 and sure enough part is bad. Now ford is saying it's on me to pay out of pocket for this part to be replaced again. Barely 3 and a half months after it was fixed. Claiming this was a customer satisfaction fix. There is no doubt why this shouldn't be a recall and why ford shouldn't be manning up and taking care of this issue. Potential brake failure because of a reoccurring issue with this part on many other trucks.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the brakes would not engage when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact was also stated that the vehicle made an abnormally loud grinding sound whenever the brake pedal was depressed. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the local dealer nor an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was relating the failure to an unknown recall. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure and referred the contact to the nhtsa for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 128,000.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle had not been started for a long period of time. As a result, the brake pedal was inoperable. The contact stated that the vehicle needed to be idling for a period of time before the brakes would work. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.
I was backing out of my driveway and felt the brake pedal get soft like i had no power booster. The truck was very difficult to stop. I had to pump the brake a few times before the pedal stiuffened up a bit. This has happened everyday since, but only in reverse and only if i go in reverse 1st. The pedal seems a little softer than normal going forward but not near as bad as in reverse.i replaced the front brakes on 7/25/2015 (rotors and pads- high end replacements) and that did not help the problem. I just replaced the rear brakes on 8/15/2015 (rotors and pads- again better than oem) and i can still tell there is something not right when i back up as a first action. The pedal still needs to be pumped a couple of times before it feels better.
No or poor braking right after engine startup and traveling in reverse (vacuum assist).very poor braking at emergency or panic stop (as if the brake lines need bled).travel speed at about 45mph. Only 27k miles on vehicle.similar to concerns that prompted the ford 19s07 warranty extension for the electric vacuum assist unit, but this vehicle is not covered by that.ford dealership wants over $100 to diagnose brake system.very scarry driving!
My 2011 ford f150 ecoboost is making a humming noise when you start the truck and move the shifter into a gear and apply the brakes., does this for about a minute or i rev the engine and it goes away. The brake pedal feelsvery week then the pressure comes back up. I have had this truck into gateway ford in greeneville tn since the second day i own the truck.the saleman said this is normal for this type motor. They also changed the spark plugs for a miss i was having in the motor. I have been to the dealer 4 times always get sent away like im crazy its all in my mind.don't know where else to turn any help would be very grateful. Thank youthis happens thru out the driving of the truck
Brakes were difficult to engage during emergency braking due to hard pedal.braking seems more difficult than previous experience (like having no brake assist).after searching the internet for known problems, i verified a blown vacuum pump fuse.the dealer verified that the vacuum pump assembly was seized therefore blowing the fuse.i find it curious why a major brake component can fail while not setting a failure code or indicating a failure on the ford display panel (check brake light, etc.).how can the vacuum assist for the brakes totally fail on a 2011 vehicle and not tell the driver there is a problem?why did the vacuum pump fail (internal pump bearings lacked lubricant and seized due to atmospheric moisture) with just over 20000 miles on the truck?why won't ford fess up that they sold their customers a defective $750.00pump?i guess ford only knows!
Brake booster pump been replaced 3 times in a 2 year span.the last time within 3 months.vacuum booster leaks when the vehicle isnot running.when started and put into gear the brakes will not work until it the system can gain vacuum, approximately 10 to 30 seconds.if vehicle is put into gear you cannot stop it from moving.it nearly caused me to get into several accidents.the vacuum booster has been replaced 3 times with no success.this summer (2014) ford had 1200 of the boosters on back order due to the number that were failing in the f150's.my vehicle could not be fixed for 6 weeks while the dealer waited for the part.if the issue is ignored the booster will have a catastrophic failure causing brake system to stop working and a potential for a accident.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 75 mph, the brake warning light illuminated and the vehicle required a longer time to stop when the brake pedal was depressed. The failure occurred constantly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the master cylinder and brake booster failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 66,395.
Vehicle upon start has had hard or no brakes.vehicle is difficult to stop or control at low speeds upon starting vehicle.been told by dealer it is faulty vacuum assist pump.parts not available and told no recall/fix is available to consumer without paying 750+ dollars.happens routinely.occurs almost daily.been going on for almost one year.worried about pulling out of my garage and have resorted to parking on street to ensure control of vehicle upon starting.
Brakes fail when vehicle is first started and either backing up or pulling forward.has happened more than 4-5 times since i bought the vehicle new in 2012.since this problem is serious in nature, ford should issue a recall before someone is seriously hurt or killed if not taken care of.it needs the attention of nhtsa now!ford service did perform a technical service bulletin dealing with hard brake pedal during normal braking, but the diagnosis performed indicated an intermittent problem with the brake vacuum pump and the operation of the power assist brake. This part and repair in not covered now even tough it was indicated to ford service department on a number of occasions.ford has not admitted to a recall, but did redesigned the pump on 2014 models and later.problem inherited to the f-150 eco-boost engine.recall now!
Started hearing a wining pump noise from behind the driver-side headlight. Days later i was parked just off the road on a slope, started the truck and it rolled down the slope right into the street. The brake pedal felt soft and non-responsive. There was also a chattering noise made.i pumped the brakes a few times and it worked normally again. I stopped and pulled forward to get out of traffic. The same sequence of malfunctions has happened several more times since the first incident. I have ordered a new vacuum pump to fix the problem.
My brakes haven't been working properly. It looks like the year of my truck had a recall. But according to my vin they never recalled my truck.
In may 2015 my 2011 ford f150 3.5l ecoboost began making a buzzing noise in the front left fender well under the hood. From that time forward the truck makes the noise upon start-up. Once the vehicle runs for a while the noise seems to fade away but returns upon restart. A technician tried to diagnose the noise at a local repair shop but to no avail. The noise has gotten worse which prompted me to take the truck back to the repair shop to diagnose again. This time i did some research on the matter and noticed that there was some concern about the vacuum pump in some of these model trucks. Upon picking up my truck the technician informed me that he thought it was the vacuum pump and that i should take my truck to the dealership to have them diagnose the problem and that the part is only available through ford at this time. I made and appointment with the ford dealership with the service manager about the noise. He was familiar with the problem and said that 9/10 times the vacuum pump is the problem. He explained that ford had switched vendors for the part and redesigned the pump in newer models and issued a (tsb) regarding the pump. Since my truck was just outside the warranty period he said i would have to pay for the repair, which was quoted at more than $900. The service manager told me that the part was on back order until mid august 2015 and that i should schedule to have the repair completed then. I asked if there was a safety hazard associated with continued driving and he said, "no, the only thing that could happen is you could lose your brakes or possibly 4 wheel drive, but you'll notice that the brakes are heavy if its going out completely." i feel that ford should be responsible to replace the defective part that they acknowledge as a problem and have redesigned, and which can cause brake or 4 wheel drive failure putting myself and my passengers at risk.
No brakes when the vehicle first starts up. Start vehicle, shift into gear, pedal does not engage unless it is stomped on and even then its difficult to stop vehicle. I have taken this to dealership where purchased. First time dealer replaced front brake pads with a modified pad and recalibrated the abs module. Second time they replaced brake vacuum pump and vacuum line.third time dealer replaced vacuum line.all of these failed to solve problem,dealer contacted ford tech line and ford engineers told tthe dealer that it was a characteristic of the truck and could not be fixedwe called ford customer service and they opened a case.we recieved a callback from a ford regional customer service manager and was told if this concerned us that we should just sell the vehicle and buy a new ford since we have the z plan.there are no warning lights that alert you to this happening!i can not longer even drive the truck i bought because i do not have the strength it takes to stomp the pedal down when this happens.im so concerned that this truck could hurt someone.im a 58 year old women and ford does not even care to resolve this serious safety issue.
If i start my truck and immediately put it in reverse my brakes will not work, i have to let the truck sit for a couple minutes before my brakes will work. I have replaced my brakes thinking this would correct the problem but it did not. I have backed into a concrete post because of this. Very unsafe
I was backing up after a cold start and the brakes failed.i took it in for a repair and they tested the vehicle and found the problem.it was a blown fuse and bad vacuum pump.the fuse and pump were replaced.this happened again on 3/29/12 and the pump was found to be defective and replaced a second time all under warranty.this occurred a third time on 6/13/15 and the vacuum pump was found to be defective again and replaced at a cost $200 in labor.the dealership provided the parts as good will due to my complaints.on 6/1715 the vehicles brake again stop working. This time they reported the fuse had blown for some reason and blamed it on the strain from the old vacuum pump.note: the fuse also blew back in 2012 when i first had the problem.i have little to no faith that my brakes will work on a cold start every time i start my car.i just saw a twitter feed that this was being looked into so i decided to enter my information.
Bad vacuum pump causing the pressure in the brakes not to function properly. When you press on the brakes its really hard to stop in motion.
After sitting overnight, and turning on the truck the vacuum pump is extremely loud.if driving the truck immediately the brakes will not work unless pushed very hard. After about 3 minutes the sound diminishes and the brakes work adequately.
F-150 with ecoboost 3.5l gdti engine.electric vacuum pump that supports the brake booster stopped functioning. Brake pedal feel was hard and vehicle was difficult to stop at times. There were no signs or indicators of the malfunction, other than the hard pedal feel which came on slowly and therefore difficult to notice until vehicle was difficult to stop.
Very hard to push break with both legs hard to stop when backing up and a noise clicking from somewhere sounds like from motor or dash ????happend several times over last two weeks one being today at 7:50 am on may 20,2016was afraid i was going to hit car parked on side of road when backing out of my driveway.
The brake pedal did not depress as it should.instead it was impossibly hard and had no braking force at all.the dealership inspected the problem and diagnosed a failing vacuum pump.there is no indicator light to notify the vehicle occupant of a problem and this is a severe safety hazard just waiting for injury/death to occur.
I started to notice that every morning i had no brakes when pulling out of my driveway.the brakes would also not work for the first minute or so upon start up.i also noticed that my braking was very limited when i was giving it throttle especially over 60mph.upon bringing it to the dealership they found that the vacuum brake pump was not turning on at all so there was no power assist for my brakes.i checked out online to find out that this is a common problem where people are loosing all of their braking power when going down the road.my concern is that if i did not correct this that i very well could have killed myself or others due to the lack of braking.
On morning start up in my driveway the brakes made a crunching sound w/ a stiff brake pedal and would still roll forward while brakes were applied and the engine in idle. The dealer replaced the brake vacuum pump and harness under extended warranty less $100 deductible. Brakes work ok now but concerned if will fail same later after warranty. The dealer was very professional and courteous.problem mentioned in tsb 15-0105 as stated on my bill.
When u go to put truck in gear it makes a loud noise and doesn't have power and check engine light comes on.also brakes go to floor at times
Electric vacuum pump went bad resulting in no brakes upon start up. Pedal became rock solid with no stopping power at all. Exactly 14000 miles after the first pump went bad, the exact same symptoms took place. Second one " out of warranty" because it was over 3 years old with only 28,000 miles. Ford "good willed" the repair.
2011 ford f150 vacuum assist pump failed and was replaced on 10/19/16 at 79320 miles. The pump is failing again it makes a very loud noise. The truck now has 107757 miles and ford refuses to replace the pump under warranty recall. The new pump started making noise around 03/18 with 102000 miles. The new pump only lasted 17 months and 22600 miles. Ford is replacing a bad pump with a bad pump
Car indicated low brake fluid at traffic light 1... Brakes operated properly for traffic light 2 then suddenly at speed brake pedal went to floor while attempting to slow for entry to highway on ramp after traffic light 3.i was able to avoid median at on ramp as well as two other cars while vehicle rolled to stop before traffic light 4.
At my house, the driveway is sloped.i had just parked the truck, turned the engine off, but left key in accessory position.my two daughters were in back seat (3 and 8 years old) watching a movie.i walked into my garage to drop off coffee, went back to the truck to retrieve pastries and then walked them into garage.i was out of the truck for 3-4 minutes.i went back to truck and took my three year old out of her car seat.she sits in rear seat, passenger side.i had her in my arms when i opened passenger side front door, reached across to remove keys. When i removed the keys from the ignition the truck began rolling down the driveway.my 8 year old was 1/2 out of the truck when it began to roll.i quickly put my 3 year old down and grabbed the 8 year old out of the truck.the truck was making a metal clicking sound the entire time it was rolling.truck rolled down the driveway, across the street and into the neighbors yard.their tree stopped the truck from rolling further into the yard and their house.the truck was still in park when i went inside to start it back up to move it back into the driveway.i drove it theford dealer about an hour later.ford dealer and fomoco were involved for several months.eventually a 'specialist' was flown in to look at truck.in the end, they claim there are no mechanical defaults and therefore, they are not responsible.they are unable to answer any questions as to how the truck did not move for the 3-4 minutes it was on the driveway when i was back and forth to the garage.they also have no explanation for how the truck rolled even though it was still in park when this happened.end results is ford claims they never repaired or modified my truck.i have no way to prove they did or did not repair anything during the periods of time they had my truck in their possession.
My truck won't stop i happens in the mornings a truck suddenly stopped i put my brakes onmy truck didn't stop in time and i hit the truck in front of me got in accidentthis is the second time this has happened to me
The brakes failed when backing up from a parking space at a local elementary school. Truck continued to roll backwards while stepping on the brakes.had been an intermittent issue with no ability to push down on the brake pedal when car is started up and put in reverse.later that day brake warning lights came on.
Brakes fail on initial drive; happens about every other day. Have narrowly avoided hitting neighbors garage and car, and have back into tree on our property as we are unable to stop the vehicle when the issue occurs. The problem has occurred at least 30-40 times. On first start up on dry pavement, the first time the brakes are applied, the anti-lock brakes activate and the vehicle will not stop. If the brakes are re-applied several times, the anti-lock will disengage and the vehicle indicates brake failure on dash. No computer codes are recorded however according to dealership. Two cases have been opened with ford; first case was case #2802388; second case is cas3111923xzc1h9; contact is mary at 1-866-631-3788, x 77741. Dealership has duplicated problem but unable to identify cause. It is a matter of time before an accident results from driving this vehicle. I've offered to leave the vehicle for extended time so it can be driven and problem identified. Ford representative (mary) says they are unwilling to take vehicle for extended time. I keep taking back to dealer, but they continue to be unable to resolve. Ford engineer is involved. We don?t know what to do and have serious concerns about continuing to drive vehicle.
Brake pedal is really hard after start up, yet the brakes don't work. Brake assist vacuum pump whines few several seconds at start up. Truck rolled in the ditch at my house a couple times while i was backing out. Luckily, my ditch isn't very deep and no damage to my property or vehicle has occurred up to this point. This has happened to me several times, it is not an isolated incident. This is an expensive repair, and i really hope it doesn't cause me to collide with another vehicle or run over another person in a parking lot or somewhere similar before i can afford to perform the repair. According to my internet research, this is a fairly common problem with this model vehicle, and should really be recalled before someone is seriously hurt or even killed.
Crossing table rock dam on dry, flat, level pavement after letting off gas in anticipation of stopping at upcoming light rear tires locked and went into skid squealing brand new michelin tires with less than 500 miles on them.nobody was directly behind me or would have caused wreck due to sudden deceleration with no brake lights since no brake applied.tires squall like old vehicles with no abs when brakes locked up.an employee was riding with me at the time and it scared both of us.had we not been out of town and dependent on truck getting us home we would have not driven it again.after returning home truck did it a second time a couple of weeks later driving in town down stadium blvd at about 35 mph.rear tires lock, skid and squall.in addition earlier intermittent hard downshifts that feel like someone hits you from behind but not a full lock condition as these two recent incidents.also intermittent stalling when pulling away from stop light, stop sign, out of parking lot, or out of driveway - especially after idling.stalls, hesitates, bucks, vibrates, giving it gas does not result in vehicle responding.usually on "easy" acceleration meaning when just easing off from stop.intermittent transmission sticking in 1st gear and won't shift out.finally vehicle sometimes "surges" after putting in gear on cold start or when letting off gas and coasting - it actually picks up speed and lunges forward for just a second.there is something wrong with all the sensors and the computer is causing the engine / transmission / abs brakes to behave in strange and unpredictable ways.my father, wife, and employee have all witnessed one or more of these issues while riding with me but intermittent so unable to replicate.ford case opened but no resolution.tell me drive it until it breaks so they can find problem but unsafe to do so.
No assist brakes sporadically do not work, almost causing three accidents. Normally it is after the truck sits for a couple of days or when it's cold in the mornings.i put my foot on the brakes, start the truck, put it in reverse, and no brakes.i immediately press hard and the brakes grind coming to a slow stop.i've almost backed into a couple of cars.another i backed out of driveways and couldn't come to a stop until i crossed the street hitting the opposite curb.this needs to get recalled before someone gets seriously hurt.the dealer won't do anything unless i pay $150 and leave the truck for several days so they can test brakes manually themselves.1) huge inconvenience and 2) no certainty that it will happen for them as it happens periodically.
On several different occasions after starting my ford f-150 ecoboost i experienced difficulty stopping the vehicle when approaching an intersection.my spouse complained that the vehicle "took off" after she put the truck in reverse in the driveway.i complained about this issue to the dealer on 3/16/15 saying that i was unable to stop at a stop sign.i told them it felt like i was being pushed into the intersection.my initial feeling was that the engine was overpowering the brakes.the turbo can be heard spinning up after a cold start.i am unsure if it is really brake or engine/transmission related....updated 09/15/15 updated 10/31/2017
After the truck sets for 8-10 hours, when you start it up you will have a very hard brake pedal but no brakes. The vacuum pump that supplies vacuum to the power brake booster is sticking and failing to supply vacuum at start up. If i put the truck in neutral and press hard on the brake pedal for about 10-15 seconds the pedal will go down to the normal height ( the pump brakes loose and starts to supply vacuum) then the brakes will be fine until the trucks sets for an extended time. I removed the vacuum pump and found that the pump housing was busted. It looked like it had gotten moisture in it and had froze. In my search on line i found many people having problems with this pump.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving at 10 mph, the brakes failed and caused the vehicle to become difficult to stop. The contact stated the failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacture was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 44,000.
While driving home from work at normal highway speed another driver pulled out in front of me. I was able to stop, but the truck pulled hard to the right. I thought something was wrong with the brakes so took it to local ford dealer for a check. The dealer verified my concern, and found that the front and rear brake rotors are warped. When i asked them what would cause the rotors to warp on a truck with only 14,000 miles on it i was told heat, and this repair was not covered under warranty because brakes are considered wear parts. I contacted ford customer care, but they couldn't help me. I checked safercar.gov and found out there is a service bulletin on the brakes of this truck. Ford didn't care and told me to have the repairs made to my truck and keep the receipt incase they issued a recall. I would be reimburse. I have not driven the truck for a month, hoping ford would contact me. When i did here from them, theytold methey were unable to be of further assistance in this matter, at this time. Ford motor company, ford customer care, or the ford dealer who sold me the truck don't seem to care. I have never abused this truck, never pulled a trailer, or done anything to cause this problem. I'm glad i never had to use this as a real truck,
When first starting vehicle the brakes fail, they are hard to push and have to brake at all. Very dangerous after being parked on a hill, i rolled out into the cross road and luckily there was no traffic, found out online that is serious problem with year truck and model and should be recalled and fixed before a death occurs. It is the 2011 ecoboost 3,5.
The f150 is company truck for my business. I was backing in to my shop building and it seemed like i lost my brakes . Brake pedal would not push down. Came to stop before hitting anything in shop. Had repair at a private garage. Brake vacuum pump failed.
I am sitting at a stoplight or street sign my foot is on the break all the way down and then all of a sudden it jumps forward. Then it started putting when i drove and kept getting worse and the check engine light flashes for a good minute. Everytime it said there was nothing wrong with it, and the dealership only found minor stuff that needed fixed but it was none of thoes that was causing this issue. So then i looked for recalls, and i had the recall on my truck done and then my truck started knocking. This is still happening and nobody can seem to figure out whats going on with the truck.
Poor braking in the morning at 29,212 miles.ford replaced brake vacuum pump assembly at no charge (under warranty).same problem at 50,198 miles.no longer under warranty and i was charged $319.66 for the same part.i feel there is a problem with this assembly and it's a safety issue.
Around june of 2014, i noted grinding noise coming from the front wheels. I took it to a repair facility and had it inspected. The front outer brake pads on both wheels showed fairly normal wear with about 3/8"-1/2" of pad remaining on each pad. The inboard pad on both wheels were worn down to bare metal and almost seized into the inboard side of both rotors. I had the facility replace both front rotors and pads, but the service tech had to clean and lube both calipers as neither was freely sliding. I notified the dealer and was told this was normal wear, but also told the caliper pins have to be lubricated on a regular basis to prevent this from happening again. I've checked the ford maintenance schedule and nowhere do they recommend having to lubricate the caliper pins on a regular schedule. My concern is this will occur again as i have noted a service bulletin on your website regarding binding calipers, although the selling dealer passes this off as a non-issue for the brakes and part of normal wear. I've talked to ford customer support, but they didn't seem to concerned about the problem.
I own a 2011 ford f150 that was under a transmission recall that was very serious in nature:16v248000 -ford motor company (ford) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 ford f-150 trucks, 2012 ford expedition, lincoln navigator, and ford mustang vehicles. The affected vehicles are equipped with an automatic transmission that may unexpectedly downshift to first gear, regardless of vehicle speed.i had this recall performed and ever since, i've had transmission issues.the transmission does not respond as it should.the truck takes off very slowly as it accelerates (very dangerous in traffic).on top of that it has shifting problems.the dealership (eby ford in goshen, in) has been no help whatsoever.now, on top of not getting this taken care of, i now have another issue with the vehicle (that's also been an ongoing problem): 'field service action number: 15n05.my vehicle has 152,xxx miles on it and they're saying they can't cover this because it's over 150,000.i need help getting this vehicle in a a safe driving condition so that i someone doesn't end up seriously injured or dead. Please help!these things occur while the vehicle is being operated.there is only one option below for "when did this happen?".i selected today, however, this has been an ongoing thing since the original recall was performed (mentioned above).
Failure of boost on power brakes due to non operation of vaccum bosster pump on 3.5v6 4wd truck.major safety issue, no tsbs or recalls that i have found.there should be!!!
The brake vaccum pump makes noise on start up. This is the second one since i have had it. Theremember is also a loss of brake pressure. When tapping the brakes in reverse the pump will always make like a build up noise. Also extreme brake dust is visible on rims. I have brakes and roars just under the best you can get.
I own a 2011 ford f-150 fx4 with the 3.5l ecoboost engine.approximately 18 months (odometer 23,260) after i bought it i noticed that in the morning when i would start it and begin driving my brake pedal would be hard as a rock and would not work!i made an appt with my local ford dealer and they confirmed that the vacuum pump assembly had no pressure at the brake booster and needed replace.fortunately i was not in an accident.the vehicle was still under warranty and the repairs did not cost me anything.fast forward another 18 months (odometer 44,693) to may 2015 and i was having the identical issue again.i took the truck to ford and after testing they confirmed that i was having the same exact issue again and that the vacuum pump assembly for the brakes would need replaced yet again.only this time i was out of warranty and it was going to cost me $900 to fix it.i reminded them that this is now the 3 vacuum pump assembly that needed replaced in a span of 3 years and that the design was obviously defective and shouldn't cost me anything.the dealership refused to offer any accommodations and told me to contact ford motor company if i wasn't happy.i did that and after some haggling they offered to replace it and i would have to pay them $106, which i did.i have the ford invoice's for both occurrences.i have zero confidence that the issue is resolved and that i will likely have to deal with this issue again in the near future.i am concerned for my safety and that of my family considering the brakes could fail at any time.i also believe this to be an exact match to current nhtsa investigation pe15026.

Brakes fail after start up for a minute of two...(vacumm pump failure?)
Electronic brake vacum pump is loud when starting the truck, breaks are hard at start and fail when in reverse. Can hear the pump get loud at stops. This occurs every single time the struck is started and at idle. Them pump is loud for aprox 30 seconds to 1 minute on each occurrence.
Takata recall. The brakes will lock up and won't stop the truck even when pushed in all the way. After a few seconds it will go away but have still almost hit several things. This is very dangerous and i hope that this can be fixed. Thanks
While traveling with the flow of traffic (40-45 miles) an hour i had a collision with cars in front of me.as a result of the collision i was knocked unconscious. Dazed and injured i could not recall the details of the moments just before the collision, to the police. All that i could remember was trying desperately to stop the vehicle but it would not stop.after the accident no one seems to believe me and even my insurance carrier is not interested in looking into the possibilitythat the brakes failed or the cruise control malfunctioned.the consumer referenced nhtsa action number ea15006. He believed his accident was due to a brake system defect.updated 05/19/16.
Driving down the road when a vanstopped.i hit the brakes, but there were no brakes at all. Then i hit them again and again and again and the brakes activated but it concluded with a majoraccident occurring . This was the first time i lost brakes. I have replaced the brake system three times since this issue and i show no replacing of vacuum tank and the brakes are always bad and needing to be fixed three times in four years that's a brake job a year. The date done work here but this has happened 2/12, 2013 and 2014.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that upon start of his vehicle, the vehicle failed to come to a complete stop while depressing the brake pedal. The contact also stated that the brake pedal would harden as the failure occurred. Also, the check brake system warning message was intermittently displayed on the instrument panel. In addition, the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, an abnormal noise would emit from the engine. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle with a defective electronic vacuum pump. The contact spoke with tadd jenkins ford (1090 ford way, blackfoot, id 83221) and the manufacturer who both informed him that there were no recalls on the vehicle for the electronic vacuum pump. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 115,000.
During routine road driving, the service advance-trac light came on the dash. This was at 7490 miles. The truck was taken to be serviced. The rcm was replaced. At 9130 miles the service advance trac warning light again came on. The truck was taken to be serviced and the abs module was updated. The truck is currently at the dealer for the same warning light. It has been there for a week. The mileage was about 9400 miles on the third trip for the same problem. I drive snowy and icy roads in the winter and feel that the disabling of my advance trac system compromises my safety on slippery roads.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced the same failure as listed in nhtsa campaign number: 16v248000 (power train). The contact stated that the transmission would unexpectedly downshift to first gear, regardless of the vehicle speed. The failure occurred intermittently and an unknown warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to o'reilly auto parts and the contact was informed that the speed sensors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 163,000.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 65 mph, the brakes failed to stop the vehicle in a timely manner when the pedal was depressed. In order to stop the vehicle, the contact had to depress the brake pedal to the floor while swerving to allow more time for the stop to occur. The failure recurred. The dealer diagnosed that fluid leaked from the master cylinder into the brake booster, which depleted the brake fluid in the master cylinder and led to the brake failure. The master cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. Immediately after the contact started the vehicle and engaged the brake pedal, there was excessive resistance. After several attempts to engage the brake pedal, it became less resistant after a few minutes at a very slow pace. The failure did not occur while driving. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 34,000.
The contact owns a 2011 ford 150. The contact stated that the brake pedal and accelerator pedal were too close together. As a result, the contact was constantly depressing both pedals at the same time and almost caused a crash. The manufacturer was not made aware of the defect.the vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 25,439. Updated 10/02/14

Occasionally when steering the truck to the left, the steering will feel like it is sticking.it becomes hard to turn to the left and when the turn is complete, the vehicle will not return to center.on one occasion when i first started the truck and began to back out of a parking place, i could not turn the steering wheel to the left at all.i shut the truck off then restarted and the same thing.on the second time i shut the truck off then restarted, i could turn the wheel normally. There seems to be a problem with the power steering or some mechanism of the steering.
While turningin traffic my epas steering went out almost causing a wreck. I already had dealership change epas rack and pinion and i have same problem. There is a recall for 2014 trucks with same issue. Its definitely a safety issue.
When i started up my f-150 super crew cab with the ecoboost engine the service advanced track warning message came on. As i was driving with this error message on the dash i found that my turn signals would not stay on unless i hold the turn signal lever. Later that day i went to take the truck into the dealer to show them the issue and the error message was gone and the turn signals were now functioning fine. Since the error was no longer on the ford dealer could not do anything about the issue. The error stayed off for about 6 weeks and then came on again. Now it has been coming on about every 3 or 4 days so i took it to the dealer and they determined that the issue is with the rack and pinion steering assembly and have replaced that. I just go the truck back and have not had time to confirm that the issue is fixed however my confidence level is not there as this is just one of many issues that i have seen on this truck that appear to be "computer" related since shutting off the truck (or as i put it rebooting) will correct the issue.
During highway driving the power steering seems to shut off momentarily especially on movements to the left this can be scary and unsafe when driving at high speeds
I was about 3 miles from home when i started to feel the steering becoming hard to turn.about 2 blocks from home i had difficulty making a right and left turn till i drove up to my home,had some assistance in turning the steering and backing up the truck into drive way.after that steering went out.had to get it towed to a ford dealership. Had a to almost $2,000 for the repair
Steering locked up while pulling out of the driveway .rack and pinion is bad .at same time it takes my turn singles out.
After the air conditioning is on while car is in park and idling for about 10 minutes, the steering power assist is lost, especially on left hand turns.so if i turn left, the steering wheel must be manually turned back to straight or the car will continue to turn left.after the turn, if my hands were not on the steering wheel and manually steering the car back to straight, the car will continue turning into opposing traffic.on a windy road, the truck will continue to go in the direction of the turn and not return to the straight ahead track without manually turning the steering wheel.it is a very scary scary situation. The next day morning after cooling off all is good. This happens both on the highways and city streets once it overheats some component.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 50 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver. The contact stated that the failure occurred on six occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.the approximate failure mileage was 46,000. Updated 10/24/14

Power steering is " hitchy " and does not return to center after a turn , this requires constant steering effort to stay within ones lane. This happens while driving it is quite unnerving .the vehicle has 52221 miles on it.
Steering lock up while driving.while making a sharp left turn in a parking lot the steering wheel locked up momentarily then became hard to turn.at the same time i heard a loud grinding or buzzing sound and the 'service advance trak' light came on.i had to have the car towed 150 miles to my mechanic.my mechanic conferred with the local ford dealer and determined that the rack and pinion had to be replace.truck has 57,000 miles on it.my mechanic expected the part to take up to a week to arrive but it was delivered the same day.dealer had several units in stock.seems strange to have that many of this p[art in stock unless there is a design or manufacturing flaw that ford has not declared.i checked the f150 online forums and there are many references to this problem.not sure what it takes to make a recall happen but given the seemingly high number of owners affected by this ford should do something to help.this cost $1745 to fix (including tow) and created a very dangerous situation.
My 2011 ford f150, with less than 23500 miles, suddenly developed problems with its electronic steering system consisting of (a) very loose steering, (b) a "service advanctrac" warning message, (c) the control for the left & right blinkers no longer working.i was driving down a dirt at a low rate of speed when the problem struck without warning, and then got onto a paved road where the steering continued to feel very 'sloppy' and somewhat difficult to control the truck.the local ford dealership diagnosed the problem with the epas (electronic) steering system which was first introduced on the 2011 f150 model.they first quoted $1300 to repair it since i am out of the 3/36 warranty, but later came down to $480 when i complained about it being a safety issue and that it was ridiculous for something like this to happen on a truck with less than 25k miles (mostly highway miles).according to the dealer, ford covered the cost of the expensive replacement part.there are many online complaints (websites & nhtsa) regarding problems with the ford epas steering system.its sudden and unexplainable failure, especially on trucks with low mileage, makes this a significant safety concern in my opinion.
Truck darts to left across center lane of road with out notice it feels as ifthough it is stuck there i must use a tug on steering wheelto pull it back it releases quickly causing over correction and almost causing running off right side of road i am afraid to drive this truck over 40 miles per hr. I purchased this truck new, i welcome the factory warrenty rept. To come drive it just a couple of miles to see just how unsafe it is to drive
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 50 mph, the steering wheel seized and the power steering warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle then lost power. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump relay box failed and caused the fuel pump to burn. The mechanic stated that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact called cavalier ford lincoln greenbrier (1515 s military hwy, chesapeake, va 23320, phone: 757) 424-1111) and was informed that he would be responsible for the diagnostic and repair fees. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that they knew about the failure and, in order for the vehicle to be repaired, there would be a fee. The approximate failure mileage was 78,000. The vin was not available.
When making a left turn at a light, the steering wheel froze and there was no power steering.the advancetrac service light came on and stayed on.vehicle was hauled to the dealer where it was purchased.they kept the truck 4 days, said they replaced part #el3z3504be, epas steering gear assembly, and that the truck road tested fine.we picked up the truck and within 20 miles it did the same thing when we attempted to make a right turn.we have owned this truck for 3 years, 4 months and it has less than 53,000 miles.this is clearly a safety issue that ford should recall. It is also very clear that they do not know what is causing, or how to fix, this problem.this is a serious safety hazard as you cannot steer the vehicle when this happens.ford needs to step up!!!
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 70 mph, the steering seized and the "power steering fault" warning message appeared. The contact coasted to the shoulder and turned off the vehicle. When the vehicle was restarted, it operated normally. The dealer (metro ford, 9000 nw 7th avenue, miami, florida 33150) was contacted by phone. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 61,000.
Loud sound and popping when turning wheels sharp. Has been happening for a while and has gotten worse. Service advance trac message displays and then turn signals no longer work. Eventually warning would disappear but would come back on when turning sharp again.took in for service and problem became so bad that vehicle would not turn. Having to replace rack and pinion.
Steering sticks when turning left. It is as if the power steering quits working. Happens at all speeds.dash lights come off and on at different times-appears to have no connection to light switches
Mileage on 2011 truck is 110,000. At low speeds, steering will seize and need to use my own strength to turn. This happens intermittently, and ford really needs to do something about this. I have come close to hitting many cars in parking lots.also happens usually when i am backing out of my driveway for work, not a good time to scare me.
When i drive my power steering will go out as i'm turning it will be fine one min and the next min i'm in the grass trying not to die
When driving under slower speeds and turning. After making the turn. My steering gets tight and i have to manually force my steering to go back straight. It seams after some driving it may loosen up. But it dose do it later on other turns. Some times it is hard to turn into a corner. I have to manually force the wheel to make the turn. This always happens while in motion.
Steering started freezing at speeds around 20-25 mph. Not a huge deal at first because of city driving.. It eventually got worse at higher speeds..august 7th 2015 , the steering failed at 65mph and sent the truck towards the concrete median. It could have been tragic. I ended up taking it to the shop that monday and having the electronic power steering unit replaced at 1200.00 plus. I am really upset that there is no recall on this with the danger it can cause!
Received power steering assist fault warning when car was started this morning. Vehicle performed normally the day and night before. Vehicle disabled the power steering function so that only manual steering was available. The power steering system is an electric system.
When my truck hit about 40k miles, the steering started periodically "locking up". It can still be turned but it takes some muscle and is very choppy. When it does this and i'm in a turn, when you release the wheel it will hold position in the turn rather than returning to center. You have to physically turn it back to center. The frequency of this seems to be increasing. My mechanic says it's the electronic steering module( eaps ) and cost almost 1800.00 to repair parts and labor. Forums are full of people having this issue. This will be a lawsuit coming and someone is going to get hurt. Some models have a recall for this issue. Mine does not.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 30 mph, the steering seized and the vehicle stalled without warning. There were no warning indicators illuminated prior to the failure. The vehicle was able to be restarted after a few moments. The contact called the manufacturer and was transferred to nhtsa to file a complaint. The vehicle was taken to evergreen ford lincoln (1500 18th ave nw, issaquah, wa 98027, (425) 392-6900) where it was diagnosed that the power steering needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 150,000.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 30 mph and attempting to make a left turn, the steering wheel locked up to the left without warning. The contact managed to unlock the wheel. An independent mechanic stated that there was a recall. The manufacture was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The failure did not recur and was not diagnosed. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.
While turning the power steering would get hard to turn. This would happen about once a month. While turning you could feel a tight spot where it was hard to turn then it would loosen up then become tight again. The truck is currently in the shop getting a new power steering unit put in
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150.

I have several occasion for the past couple of years of my f150 not starting when turning the key on. I have taken it to the ford dealership several times but they couldn't determine the problem. I've had several occasion of the low oil pressure light turn on and the vehicle has stalled. Just recently i was making a right turn and at a small angle and the truck completely stalled out while driving. I had to coast to a stop without any power steering until it finally stopped. I tried to crank it over but it wouldn't start. After about 5 minutes it finally started without issue. I've had it stall twice while i lost total control of my truck and it is extremely dangerous. I had to tow it to my dealership again today. I think i may have finally found the issue which may point to a faulty 20amp fuel pump fuse. I found some articles pointing to fuse 27 and sure enough it was burnt on one side. I am completely shocked that ford is aware of this issue and not issuing a mandatory recall until all these trucks are fixed. Had this been on the freeway it could have been a complete failure of the vehicle which may have caused a serious or life threatening accident. Please force a recall.
Suddenly steering wheel lock, advance track sensor lit, extremely hard to turn , very serious safety issueno recall available, but too many issuesapparently waiting for a fatality to happen before a recallvehicle stationary/in city/ happened 2 times already i'm afraid this happen while in motion. Diagnosed rack and pinion epas
The first time this happened i was driving on a highway on ramp turning left and my steering wheel stayed stuck in the turned position.my truck felt like it was going to flip and the wheels would not straighten out until i turned them back. It has also caused my truck to put up warning about my stability control. This has happened to me a number of times and seems to happen when it is warm outside. I feel this needs to be looked at because it could be a serious risk of rolling over.
Knocking felt in the steering wheel. Gets worse as outside temps get above 80 degrees.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving at various speeds and making a left turn, the steering wheel seized. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who diagnosed that the electric power assist steering needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 22,000.
2011 ford f150 regular cab 5.4lstarted around nov 16, 2016 steering locks for a brief moment when executing turns. The steering mechanismgrunts when moving the steering wheel back and forth. Electrical engagement of relay or motor several times per second when stopped at a red light. No warning lights. This occurs every time it is driven. Appears to be the electric power steering assist
The service advancetrac warning came on and the dealership said the truck needed a new steering gear.they stated that if this were to fail, control of the truck would be lost resulting in a major issue.this is a safety issue and needs to be recalled.
Takata recallwhen driving truck between 35 mph and 45mph, and making a left sweeping turn around a curve, the steering wheel gets stuck at the 10:00 position. I filed a complaint with brunswick ford, they took it in to look at it, and said they couldn't get it to do it, but they said i probably need a new $1200.00 steering assembly. Odly enough it did the same thing on the way home, and still continues to do the same thing.
Steering became locked and could not avoid hitting the merging curb.this resulted in blowing both tires on the passenger side and chipping both rims beyond repair.while no one was injured this time i am definitely surprised a recall has not been issued for this problem.
As you are driving the slightest bump makes the steering hard tokeep vehicle from swerving . The hotter it is outside the more difficult it is to maneuver .
Takata recall:steering is binding when slightly turning left. It gets stuck in that position and has to be forcefully moved back to center.
When traveling at various speeds, the steering will lock up and i will be unable to turn the wheel for 1-2 seconds.fortunately, i have not hit anyone when this happens, but it might be only a matter of time before this will cause a serious accident.
Steering would bind when turning left and would get stuck in that position and have to forcefully moved back to center.
Electric power assist steering failure,while making a left hand turn the steering failed part way through the turn causing the truck to go straight, because of this i almost hit 2 parked cars. When this happened the steering wheel locked up and i could not turn it.this is a known issue to ford as there have been thousands of recall for these units from 2011 and newer, my truck falls in to the recall void.
When driving and taking a left turn, the power steering stops, making it almost impossible to turn the wheel. It is intermittent, but is happening more and more often.back in october of 2016 i took it to my ford dealer to have it fixed. I was told that my warranty was up a week earlier, so i would have to pay. I couldn't afford to pay for it at the time, so i declined. Now it is much worse.
Popping rattling knocking felt in steering wheel. Started when going over bumps then progressed into driving normal. Constant steering wheel popping and rattling. Feels like steering is coming apart. Dealership verified complaint. They have installed 2 different eaps steering rack and 1 intermediate steering shaft. The problem still persist...
While driving, the steering wheel gets stuck to the left with any slight movement. Slight turn to the right and it gets stuck to the left when returning to the neutral position and when slightly turned to the left, it gets stuck when trying to return to the neutral position. It has happened at lower speeds on city roads and at high speed on the interstate and poses a very real safety risk!
Truck started having a popping in the steering wheel over rough roads and terrain. Steering shaft was replaced by dealer with no fix. Then they replaced the steering rack which is a new electronic powered rack and my problem was resolved for roughly 1000 miles. The problem persists to get worse when its hotter outside. I know a few friends with these new electronic racks that have the same problem. Ford seems to be doing nothing and there is no answers to the issue. Something in the rack could be loose or defective and could cause a safety issue. Rack needs to be redesigned or fixed.
On the night of dec 20, 2013, i was traveling south on i81 north of syracuse ny. Road conditions were not very good.a block of ice fell off a truck ahead of me, evasive action was not possible due to ice and traffic volume.the ice struck the alternator which is cleverly positioned about 10" off the ground on the lower left front of the vehicle. The vehicle began to lose electrical power system by system. I cant recall the exact sequence, as it was all happening pretty fast. Eventually, the electric power steering system lost power. When this happens on this vehicle, you lose all steering capability. Its not like its just manual steering, there is no steering other than the ability to slightly alter course by pulling extremely hard on the wheel. The vehicle had no lights, the shoulders were unplowed, stopping wasn't a good idea. As good fortune would have it, the cicero ny exit presented itself at that moment. I was able to pull extremely hard on the wheel and was able to steer the slight curve. At the bottom, i discovered i had no breaks. I shot across the usually busy ny 31 and into a kwikstop, where i stomped on the emergency brake and came to a stop. We shortly discovered a fire underneath the engine and were able to extinguish it with snow.i cannot believe a steering system like this is permitted. Had i known it had this system and its limitations, id never have bought the car. If my son and i had been killed that night, it would have all been chalked up to road conditions. In furious about this system. It needs to be recalled.....now.
The subject pick up truck was southbound on i405 between orange ave and cherry ave in long beach california.the vehicle was in the fast lane or the lane adjacent to the fast lane.speed at the time of the incident was approximately 65 mph and the cruise control was engaged.traffic was moderate with all lanes moving at freeway speed. Without warning, and simultaneously with the sound of a skidding tire, the vehicle pulled violently and abruptly to the right, out of control, and crossed all traffic lanes of the freeway and the shoulder of the freeway.just prior to departing the roadway, enough control was regained to avoid hitting a freeway directional sign in the landscape median.the truck entered the landscape median and came to rest facing south, parallel to the freeway.approximately 10 minutes passed before the california highway patrol responded to the accident site.the officer said he was responding to an accident that was reported.the vehicle was towed to a local ford dealer for investigation. Five to ten minutes prior to the loss of control, the driver noticed a fluctuation in the speedometer from approximately 65 mph to 50 mph with no change in vehicle speed, engine rpm or performance.several weeks prior to the accident, the driver experienced an event at moderate speed which was described as feeling though the vehicle was hit from behind at slow speed although there was no one behind the truck.simultaneously, the speedometer and tachometer both failed to 0 and the dashboard display went blank.shortly thereafter, a "wrench" icon appeared momentarily on the display.the driver continued driving to a gas station and refueled.when the engine was started after refueling, all instruments appeared normal with no icons present.no icons re-appeared at any time up to and including the date of the accident.updated 06/16/14
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 25 mph, the service advance track system warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed. The failure recurred on several other occasions. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the electronic power steering assist failed and needed to be repaired. There were no repairs made to the vehicle. The failure mileage was 25,000.
Noticed a sticking spot in long sweeping turns at 35+ mph that was manageable.turned into concernig clicking sounds while turning wheel in any direction.scared to drive ended up at dealership and diagnosed as another issue with epas and binding.replaced rack and pinion assembly.expecting to see more of this as these systems are now being tested.hopefully ford owns up to design/reliability flaws on this safety issue.
Power steering is "sticky " and does not return to center after a turn , this requires constant steering effort to stay within ones lane. There is also a sticking point when turning the wheel in one direction.
I feel a heavy tapping in the steering wheel while driving straight. This condition gets worse with warmer weather. 78 to 100 degrees.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the power steering seized while driving approximately 40 mph. An unknown dealer diagnosed that the power steering failed. The manufacturer stated that they would not repair the vehicle since there was no current recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 83,000.
While driving in a deep curve, it becomes hard to straighten the steering wheel. It is like it loses its power steering for about 1-2 seconds and once you force it straight, the power steering begins working again. It will be fine for a few days and then start acting up again. Sometimes it is a full on stick in one position, other times it is jerky sticking as you are trying to straighten it back up. It has almost cause me to run off the road multiple times; i have had to learn to not panic when it happens and just slow down until i am back in control. The eps needs to be recalled on these before deaths occur. I have three very young children that i won't even drive around due to the fact that it is so dangerous to try to drive on in curves. This has been off and on happening for about 1.5 years now. I am going to try to sell the truck and have been researching getting it fixed and if it was a recall her recently and i find it to be ridiculous that it will cost $2,000 on a truck that is only worth $10,000. It is even more crazy that it is something that has to be paid for when safety is the sole reason to do it. Ford should definitely fix this safety concern and get rid of the eps system.
Was driving to take my son back and all of sudden lost power steering and a message came on said power steering asist fault and i cant drive now just 80000 miles called ford and the rack and pinion went out supposdly will happen every 75000 to 80000 miles is all that electrical steering is good for gonna cost 1800 bucks which dont have and think its bs theres no recall on this year of truck have it on other makes models but this one and not understanding why ???
The steering sticks when driving like its manual. When turning any degree. Makes it hard to handle on any road.
The steering locks up when turning left. Sometimes it is for a only momentary and other times it happens and takes a few seconds to unlock. Seems very dangerous and an obvious defect. Happens at idle as well as up to freeway speeds. Only happens in a left hand turn.
While driving i noticed my tires wearing on the outsides after getting an alignment done it still continues. After taking it to a shop and them not being able to find the problem, the noted that the rack and pinion bolt was worn out and they can't replace it without replacing the whole steering assembly
Steering became sluggish and pulledslightly to the right. I thought that the front right tire was flat. After pulling over the tire was not flat. Problem was not present after i had stopped to check tire. From that time on while driving at any speed there was an occasional "stickiness" to the steering. Also while wheel was turned completely to right or left there would be a thump and then it would stick just a bit before steering normally. During the longest stretch of this trouble i had an appointment made to have it checked but it stopped before the appointment. Then this week at about 25 to 30 miles an hour it was a very noticeable jerk to right and left while driving strait .got to destination and had to back into a difficult area where making full turns right and left were necessary. Turning from one complete turn to the next took a lot of force to get steering wheel to start back the other way. Madeit back home just 3 to 4 miles was no problem. Next morning while backing into parking area had wheel turned all the way to right it would not come back and had to be towed to dealership.
When driving on the highway, if i make a slight turn to the left, there is resistance when trying to return the wheel to straight ahead. Also, the advance track mechanism (skid control) has been disabled which also limits the turn signal availability. I have been told by my ford dealer that i have to replace the entire rack and pinion steering mechanism to fix this. This is definitely a safety hazard and hard to understand given that i have less than 80,000 miles on the truck. Ford needs to issue a recall on this before someone gets killed.
Electronic power assist steering (epas) failure. At low speeds steering would lock up while turning.
We were traveling down the interstate when the red battery light came on.shortly thereafter loss of power steering, loss of stability control (per dash indicator), and loss of power brakes.i have had the alternator replaced 2 separate times since for a total of three (3) alternators as well as one new battery.now truck is in shop again for same malfunction.2011 ford f150 lariat. Crew cab.v-6 engine.only 54000 miles and i am anticipating my fourth (4th) alternator.i use the truck in non-mountainous terrain, mostly highway for errands, and rarely tow.i believe a recall investigation should commence.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the steering failed without warning. The contact pulled over and restarted the vehicle. The failure occurred intermittently. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 135,000.
Without warning i came started by vehicle and the power steering was no longer working. The onboard computer advised of a power steering fault. This issue could have easily happened while driving on roads with sharp curves and/or while these vehicles were pulling a trailer ending in a potentially fatal collision.
While driving the vehicle at approximately 40mph, down a windy, canyon road, i noticed a loud squealing noise as i was rounding a left turn at two different intervals of my steering to the left. At each interval/squeal, i noticed the vehicle was not actually turning, causing me to almost miss the turn and go off the road. I was able to slow down to about 15mph, and with continued force pulling the steering wheel harder left, i was able to make the turn. This continued for the remainder of my 8 mile drive into town, with problems persisting when turning either left or right. I also noticed, as i got into town, that my blinkers suddenly stopped "staying on." they would blink once and turn back off. This was true for both the right and left blinker. I drove straight to the dealership, and in parking noticed that the squealing and the lack of "turning during the squeal" was even worse when the vehicle was moving at a slower speed -- pulling into a parking spot. After diagnosing my truck, they found the gear assembly - steering needed replacing. On my invoice it says "1 el3z*3504*be gear asy - steering". My truck has 56283 miles on it. I have found numerous cases online of people that the same thing has happened to, even some who have actually gotten into an accident because of the same electronic power assisted steering failure.
With 44,000 miles on my truck the power steering literally just stopped working on my way home from work. Truck is 6 years old well maintained and low mileage. Ford warranty has expired and truck was just payed off a month ago. Called ford about issue and read online of all the issues with same problem acrossed the nation. Was givin standard sorry for your luck it will be a total of $1900.00 to fix your problem.
While driving about 10 miles per hour on a dirt road my steering wheel locked as if the truck had been turned off, causing me to crash into a tree. The brake pedal was firm.and would not depress.
My eaps (electric assisted power steering) seems to be acting up. The issue doesn't occur all the time but when it does its hard to turn the wheel left or right then turn it back straight when making a turn. I have mechanical background and ran a diagnostic to see if was a sensor but nothing comes up. I also have viewed some online forms and it seems other people have the same issue. I will provide the link for a site that i found others talking about the same issue. I previously owned a 2010 ford escape and i remember having a power steering recall with that. From my experience in the automotive field i know some vehicles have the same issue as others. No accidents have happened for me but to avoid them i thought i should report this in the event this is a recall. Https://www.carcomplaints.com/ford/f-150/2011/steering/steering.shtml
Power steering electric assist is not working all of a sudden difficult to turn, pulling out of gas station on to highway
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle was unable to be aligned. As a result, the tires were wearing prematurely. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the camber pole was malfunctioning. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 21,000 and the current mileage was 22,000.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 25 mph, the steering made an abnormal noise. In addition, the vehicle became difficult to steer and the service traction control warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the power steering system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 86,000. The vin was unavailable.
My steering became very hard to steer suddenly and started making a loud noise when steering wheel is pulled to the right or left.luckily i was close to my house and was not in traffic where someone could have really been hurt.
Tl-the contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 45 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to turn and the service power steering now warning light illuminated. In addition, the steering wheel seized. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it diagnosed that the electric power steering module and the rack and pinion needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 47,308. Djr
Steering locks up when turning left or right, wanders on the highway and then locks up. Cannot drive the vehicle feels very unsafe to drive.
When turning left sometimes the steering locks up. When this is happening if i were to take my hands off the steering wheel the truck would continue locked in a left turn. When this happens i must force the steering wheel back to neutral position. If on an uneven surface this appears to happen more often. Have taken truck to dealership to determine the cause. But nothing was done. The dealership said there was no problem. This happens at all speeds and has occurredathighway speeds as well as at slower speed.
I have seen many posts about the same issue with fellow 2011 ford f-150 owners. My truck also locked up on me driving on a city street during lunch hour and when i took it to the dealer (under warranty) they advised after diagnostics that the electronic rack and pinion needed to be changed. After hearing a ridiculous price of $1800.00 (part and labor) i asked why was it not covered under drivetrain warranty in which they advised it was "electrical." ford needs to assist all ford f-150 owners on this matter if they don't want a huge lawsuit if, god forbid, anyone gets into an accident.
While driving and mostly turning left either on the highway or city streets, noticed the wheel will not return to the straight position, i seems "light" when turning left and kind of sticks, and will not return to the neutral postion.
When making a left hand turn at higher speeds, the epas (electric power-assisted steering), would catch and lag momentarily and not respond when turning the steering wheel to the right back to center. This happens intermittently and not all the time. This first happened at approx. 21,000 miles in september, 2013. My ford f150 while still under the factory 3 year 36,000 warranty was taken into corwin ford in nampa idaho for warranty repair for this issue (invoice 10763) on september 17, 2013. They said they could not duplicate and no fix was performed. This has been a continuing intermittent problem for the last 3 years. On august 31, 2016 with 30,050 miles on my f150, while driving in idaho on a paved winding mountain road in a period of 30 minutes, this steering problem happened five times causing my f150 to cross the centerline at least twice, luckily their were no vehicles in the other lane at the time. I did research and found that this is not an isolated problem and many other f150's have the same issue with the steering. Ford issue a tsb 11-8-18 in august 2011 to replace the epas steering gear under standard warranty, my truck met this tsb as it was build may 23, 2011 at dearborn. I took my truck to corwin ford again on september 7, 2016 and had the epas replaced at 30,223 miles (invoice 102627) due to this safety issue. Even though i had taken my f150 for warranty repair of this issue under the warranty time frame it was not repaired then, i was told that ford would not warranty the part now due to the truck being out of warranty. I paid $1757.77 to have the part replaced. Numerous other f150's, including later year models seem to have this same issue and a recall needs to be implemented by ford. This is a safety issue as it can cause your vehicle to veer into another lane or off the road. This is an update of 10903035 filed september 1, 2016.
My vehicle along with thousands of others are driving our roads with faulty steering. The steering wheel literally gets stuck & you almost kill people. Ford knows this & has recalled some models because of it, but not all models were recalled due to costs. They wont do anything though because the cost is too high to fix. I had to pay 1900 for an entire new steering system in my truck. On a side note, ford dealers will inspect & pass your state inspections with this steering problem. "steering is not an inspection item from the state"
No power steering. Vehicle was stationary
The steering "sticks" when driving at highway speeds and becomes difficult to recenter the wheel. It causes difficulty staying in your lane. Problem seems to dissipate when driving at lower speeds. It is also erratic and will not do this consistently, but has become more frequent lately.
I had my truck scheduled to have a leveling kit and new tires put on.immediately after the simple install my truck gave an alert on the information screen saying "electric power assist steering fault. Took the truck down the road to nearest ford dealer and after they ran diagnostic it showed it needed a complete new rack and pinion. $1278.00 worth without alignment. The mechanics shop who installed the kit is going to pay for it because it was fine before i took it to get kit + tires,however, i have read numerous stories online similar to mine that show the epas going out or that there having problems with it. Ford has had several updates to the epas models i'm aware, hopefully the new one going in will work and i won't ride away only to have a clunking noise to deal with in my front end like so many others i know.
This vehicle has a slight yet consistent knock felt in the steering wheel at various speeds, primarily while going over small bumps or cracks in the road. It feels as though something is loose or worn-out in the steering or suspension. The dealership that sold the vehicle checked out the truck on 9/23/2013 and said everything is fine. This is a grave concern as a failure in the steering system can be extremely dangerous.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150.the contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, the steering wheel was hard to turn and a warning displayed on the panel that read 'service advance trap".the vehicle was taken to the dealer.the technician was not able to diagnose the failure.in addition, the contact stated that when attempting to pass another vehicle, the accelerator pedal was activated and there was loss of acceleration as the check engine light flashed on and off.the failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 57,000.
I was driving at about 45-50 mph and turning left on a large 90 degree curve on the highway and the steering wheel would not return to center without much effort. The truck made a sudden unresponsive move into the oncoming traffic, as i was trying to straighten out the vehicle. I got the truck to respond to a safe area. Very dangerous
At various speeds on the highway or in a parking lot,the steering wheel locks up when you turn to the left and you have to manually bring it back. A real surprise!it has never happened turning to the right.
Intermediate loss of electronic steering assist in motion on highway and in city while turning . Vehicle could be unsafe in a emergency situation
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 65 mph, the steering ability seized and went from power steering to manual steering. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact pulled over to the shoulder, turned the vehicle off, unhooked the battery to reset the computer, and the vehicle restarted normally. The contact also stated that the failure occurred twice. The vehicle was driven to crown ford (256 swain st, fayetteville, nc 28303) where it was diagnosed that the front end power steering needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 220,000.
My 2011 f150 ecoboost with epas steering is popping and clunking when going over bumps in the road.it feels like something is loose in the steering.i have taken the truck into the dealership several times only to have them tell me this is normal.it is not normal.there are hundreds of other f150 owners experiencing this and i'm concerned it could be a safety issue with me and my family.ford refuses to acknowledge this issue and will not comment when i ask if it is a safety concern.below is a link to a forum site where others are experiencing this... Thankshttp://www.f150forum.com/f38/steering-wheel-popping-over-bumps-rough-terrain-94150/[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Service advance trac.steering column needs to be replaced.when making turn light came on.looses turn signal and steering.
While driving down the highway the fault code for timing chain p0016 came on and engine seized in the middle of the highway. I lost all power steering and brake power which caused me to almost collide with other vehicles trying to get off the highway with no power.after finally getting truck on the off ramp it took all i had to get it to stop at the intersection putting my life and the driver of the suv at the intersection life in danger.
Electronic power steering quit working making it extremely hard to steer vehicle. Operator of the vehicle would need to apply extreme pressure to steering wheel at any speed to keep vehicle on the road or within lane of travel. I noticed this issue driving on city street when i went to turn at a corner. This issue would make recovery for skid in winter weather extremely difficult.
I bought a brand new ford f 150 in august of 2011.i have been experiencing banging in the steering wheel as well as an audible note at low speeds and high speeds.always when the truck is coasting straight without any input in the steering.i have gotten no where with the purchase dealer....apple ford in columbia md.i am taking it to a different dealer with hopes that they will give a [xxx] and try and get to the bottom of it.i believe that this is becoming a safety issue!!!!my wife refuses to drive the vehicle with my children.......it is that bad.what, if anything, is being done about this problem?hopefully someone will not lose their life in order for ford to acknowledge that there is a problem.i would trade the truck today if i could take, on the chin, the $10000+ loss on a new vehicle.lastly why does this have to be a problem at all?.....[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My 2011 f150, at just under 60,000 miles, started to have the steering lock up.it can still be turned, but only with considerable effort.this seems to happen mainly on the highway after the wheel has not been moved for a few seconds. The dealer said the rack needs to be replaced (a $2k job), and it is not covered under warranty, which seems unbelievable.
Started out with loosing power steering only when turning left or right. It has progressively gotten worse to the point that there is no power steering while driving or turning the vehicle on any road or driveway.
The epas steering system has intermitent hard steering issues. Sometimes it will want to stick when turning and very hard to turn back straight. It is like it is manual steering.
While backing out of the driveway, the vehicle lost power steering and warning came up on the view screen saying torque angle sensor fault. After pulling vehicle back into the driveway and turning off the key the system operated normally, except there was a lot of slack in the steering and some pulsing when steering at slow speed.i took the vehicle to firestone to have it checked and was told i would have to have it checked at the dealership.on the way there, it lost power steering again while turning onto a back street.i shut off the vehicle and restarted it.this allowed me to drive it to the dealership.they put it in the shop and i was told that i would have to have the entire power steering unit replaced.the service advisor told me when i picked the vehicle up that it had malfunctioned on him while taking it into the shop.the part was around $1,600.with labor, alignment and taxes, it cost over $2,400 to get the vehicle back.i heard that the 2014 model vehicles had a recall for the same issue, but mine was not covered because it was a 2011 model.
Steering wheel gets hard while driving on freeway or street, sometimes gets hard while turning. Im scare that it will fail while driving.
Service advance trac light came on and i experienced total loss of power steering as i was pulling into traffic at an intersection. It took all of my strength to prevent an accident while trying to pull off the road into a safe location.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. After leaving an independent mechanic for an oil change, the advance track service warning indicator illuminated. The power steering and turn signals also failed. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the rack and pinion failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v316000 (steering). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 135,000.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 35 mph, the steering column seized. The contact was able to maneuver to the middle of the road and manually restart the vehicle, which temporarily allowed the vehicle to be functional. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to maples ford (900 main st, warsaw, mo) where it was diagnosed that the steering gearbox was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 33,885..updated 8/20/18
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving, the vehicle lost power steering ability and the vehicle continued to turn after the wheels were turned straight. There were no warning indicators illuminated before or during the failure. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 74,000. The vin was not available.
For several months i have been having trouble with the electric power steering.the steering wheel will stick and be very hard to turn.i googled the problem and found out there are issues with other 2011 vehicles with electric power steering.the problem comes and goes. I don't know when the power steering will go out completely but it seems like it could potentially cause an accident.there is currently no recall and the ford dealer wants a lot of money to fix the problem.
There is a popping and jolting mechanical feel from the steering wheel and front end of the truck.it feels like the front end or steering shaft is literally about to come apart.the problem happens at normal speeds at any speed on straight roads that are paved normally without defect.the problem seems to be worse the higher the temperature is outside.it began at around 3k miles and has steadily grown worse unless the temperature is below 80 degrees.the steering begins to feel loose and unsteady at any speed.at its worst you can hear the popping from the steering column.the longer the vehicle operates the more pronounced the sensation coming through the steering wheel.i feel at any moment that the steering may just completely fail.
I purchased my vehicle used. When turning to the left steering wheel locks up. Happens at highway speeds and at very slow speeds. Very dangerous especially if someone is driving it that isn't aware of the issue.
While turning the power steering went out. I was not going fast but it straightened out the truck and luckily there was no one in the left lane. The power steering assist as well as the service advancetrac warning messages came on. I was able to get the vehicle home but definitely dangerous to drive. The truck is at the dealer and hopefully being fixed. This is a scary failure and should be addressed. A few different circumstances and this could have hurt someone. Sudden loss of power steering in a turn should not be something a vehicle with 37,400 miles on it should have to worry about.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact received a recall letter from ford motors. The nhtsa campaign number was unknown. The contact stated that the transmission sensor was replaced at glockner southpoint ford (155 co rd 406, south point, oh 45680, (740) 894-3673) in february of 2018 per the recall. While driving 50 mph, the transmission downshifted and the vehicle slowed down without depressing the brake pedal. A wrench symbol and the check engine indicator illuminated prior to the failure. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the transmission sensor was replaced again. It was unknown if the manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was 75,000.
While driving the truck the steering wheel begins to knock, clunk and vibrate badly, to a point it becomes hard to hold onto the wheel as the sensation is overly disturbing to your hands. It feels like something is loose in the steering system and it continues to get worse. Heat is a major component. The hotter it is outside, the worse the knocking gets, to a point some play can be felt in the steering. On a 90 degree day it is easily reproduced, and is starting to even make a knocking sound.this is a dangerous issue as it causes the wheel to vibrate out of ones hands, or causes a persons hands to get tired or compensating for the play and knocking and need to let go of the wheel. Dealerships want to say we have not adjusted to the new electronic steering but that is absurd. We have several vehicles with electronic power steering, including a newer f150, and it does not do this at all. This 2011 f150 has had more issues than any new vehicle ever should, but this problem needs to be recalled. When google searching the issue, f!50 steering popping knocking, thousands of complaints can be found regarding this exact issue. Ford is getting away with too many issues on their 2011 and newer vehicles, it is time to make them stand by their product.
Steering locks when making right turns and then straightening out.
Electronic power assisted steering (epas) on 2011 ford f150 ecoboost shims/knocks/vibrates at speeds up to highway speeds (55 mph). Not sure if it is safe or not?but steering is a major component of a vehicle.i did not feel totally safe as ford has had some issues with past vehicles that possible prone to accidents that involved steering.it only occurs at temps above 75 f.took vehicle in couple times, but could not duplicate the issue.only when temps rose above 75f and technician was able to experience the issue.local dealer stated it was struts, but after several visits to the f-150 blog site, the issue was described as the epas rack that cannot keep up with the computer changes while temps above approx 75f.the replacement part #dl3z3504be gear assembly epas (this is the 4th version of this component fordhas used in their f150s) was replaced 17 june 13.ford covered only $400 of the $1500 total repair.from my research on the internet, there seems to be a issue with 2011 ford f-150 ecoboost epas.i did not find and tsb or safety bulletins as of today.
While driving my steering wheel locks and the service advancetrac warning appears in the center cluster. You can overpower the wheel lock but at highway speed it almost caused a major accident with my two kids in the truck. I called ford customer care and they have stated that they have never heard of the problem and i have heard that this is an expensive repair. The problem is happening daily now and also happens at low speed when turning.
I got into my ford f150 to go to work and the steering locked up on me, i could not get it tosteer at all.i called the dealership repair center that i purchased the truck from and told them what happened. They came and towed the truck to the dealership to have a mechanic look at it. The next day they called me and told me it was the steering column and the entire thing was needing to be replaced at a cost of over 2000.00.i had the truck for less than four months.
Lower steering shaft universal joints freezing causing extremely hard steering
Steering had a dead spot at low speed, advancetrac lights came on and stayed on for a few days.steering was very unresponsive.took to dealer, was advised of a $2700 repair being needed for the steering gear and a reflash of the computer.80,000 miles, not covered under warranty or goodwill, haven't even had this truck 2 weeks. So now i'm stuck with a lump, not sure what to do.ford dealer acknowledged this issue, said that it is likely to be recalled in the future, but until then, there is nothing they can do.this should not happen on a 2011 model vehicle with so few miles.
Steering has a loose feeling. It feels like the truck is going to fall apart and the wheels are loose.ford knows about the problem, but hasn't fixed it.my truck is on it's 3rd steering gear and all of which had this problem.the feeling can be felt at low speeds (5-10mph) to high way speeds (55-70mph).
I have a 2011 f-150 cert. Preowned ( 9/22/2014) , and from day one have had problems with the steering , from approximately 45mph and up, when going into left curve steering will try to continue to turn or track to the left, butt ford cert. Tech. Can'tseam to find the problem ?? imagine that !
While driving about 40 m per hour the steering wheel lock, couldn't turn left or right very dangerous and risky , almost hit a barrier, 3 years ago had to replace rack and pinion, replaced with original , now dec 2020 the mechanic told me is the rack and pinion again, i see too many complaints about this very serious and dangerous fault
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle the power steering had malfunctioned causing the steering wheel to become very difficult to turn in either direction. The message "traction control" and "power assist failure" had displayed during failures. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer (cas-25454075) was notified of the failure but not assistance was offered. The local dealer was not notified. The failure mileage was 90,000.
While driving my ford truck it makes a grunting or binding sound when turning. Have noticed similar problems on internet. Some steering problems have created a potential for death or serious injury. Steering is an important function. Please investigate so one of these options does not occur to me or a family member.
When driving steering wheel grabs or locks especially but not always at low speeds, this occurs for 1-2 seconds then releases and is "normal" again. It seems to occur more frequently when outside air temperature is above 90 degrees. Definitely a safety issue as you have no idea when or where it will occur and you have no control...
There is a popping and jolting mechanical feel from the steering wheel and front end of the truck. It feels like the front end or steering shaft is literally about to come apart. The problem happens at normal speeds at any speed on straight roads that are paved normally without defect. The problem seems to be worse the higher the temperature is outside.it feels like the whole front end of the truck is loose. I thought the tire was loose - it wasn't.
My problem is almost exactly like the one stated from thermpolis wy dated june 02 2017 i also have 103,000 miles on the truck.i noticed on the interstate speeds above 50mph the steering catches in center position causing an over steer when changing lanes.(very dangerous).my cost to replace the electronic power assist is $1400
Just after entering a highway, i noticed i had no power steering at all (with dash displaying "power steering assist fault"....had this happened just minutes earlier, i could have gone off a cliff. I pulled over and shut it off. I restarted truck and was able to drive it home at a very slow speed in case i lost p/s again. What the heck ford!!
The steering is acting stiff while driving
When driving on the highway, there is intermittent resistance when trying to turn the wheelalso, the advance track light comes on and that limits the turn signal availability. I have been told by my mechanic that i have to replace the entire rack and pinion steering to fix this, at $1800. There is only 84,000 miles on the truck.looking online, ford has recalled thousands of other models during this time, but not the f-150 - why not??ford needs to issue a recall on this before someone gets killed.
The electrical power steering failed in motion on a city street tunring
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While making a left turn, the electronic assist for the power steering malfunctioned and the steering wheel became very difficult to turn. The contact indicated that the failure was intermittent. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 26,000.
2011 ford f150 xlt supercab 4x4 with 50,000 miles has problem with the electric power assist steering (epas) and ford has been notified but refused to replace or assist with replacement and wants approximately $1600 to repair. Steering often becomes catchy and causes driver to jerk steering wheel to stay in lane while driving.
While driving on the highway at approximately 65 mph as i steered into a left hand curve in the road with the steering wheel in about the 10 o'clock position the steering "locked" into that position. The vehicle felt as if the wheels had entered a rut in the road. The automatic return to center function did not work and i hand to manually apply force to bring the steering wheel back to center. This malfuntion continued to occur whenever the above conditions were met. I brought the vehicle to the dealer and they had to replace the electric power assist steering system "rack". Ford is aware of this problem and has a tsb (#11-08-18) in effect to address it. The tsb has the problem narrowed down the the year, model, place of manufacure, and date of manufacture. I do not understand how a well documented problem such as this that has been fully researched and identified is not the subject of a safety recall. This problem could easily cause a vehicle to drift out of its lane on a divided highway, into oncoming traffic on on undivided road or off the roadway entirely.
Takata recall...while driving across town i noticed my truck's steering wheel acting, very different. While arriving at a stop light, at a busy intersection i noticed my steering wheel stiffen and loosen repeatedly until finally it became very difficult to steer. I had to use all of my strength to move the steering wheel from left to right. The slightest turn became impossible to make. It was not until after my wheel stiffened that my truck's dashboard displayed a message that said (service power steering now). The most dangerous part of this was that all of my children were with me. Had my teen daughter chosen to borrow my truck for an errand,in a different city earlier that day, she might have eitherbeen stranded on the side of the road or she would have gotten into a fatal car crash traveling 60 mph on the expressway.my truck did not notify my of any problems until it 2-3 minutes after it happened. We had to cancel our plans and drive to a nearby family member's house. Which wasn't my prior destination. I had to really use all my strength to make turns or to simply move 2 inches to avoidoncoming traffic. Especially as i turn into intersections. I'd like to know why isn't there a recall on this issue? i've looked up this issue and there's different forums with plenty of issues like mine. Some with very low miles and mid miles like mine. I've called ford and they didn't help at all. Are they waiting for a traffic injuries or deaths, how many do they need for there to be for a recall? the cost of this issue to be replaced could run from $1500 to $1800 more or less.
2011 ford f150 ecoboost with 23,000 miles:while travelling at speeds 45 mph and greater, the steering becomes difficult to maneuver or correct during at speed turns, (ie. Driving on twisting highways).the local ford dealer inspected the problem and stated that the epas system needed replacing and that the vehicle was unsafe and to not drive it.the estimate called for a $1160 steering gear part, and $80 "adjust toe in" and labor for a grand total of $1370!!after reading so many other complaints with the same issue, and recalls present for different model years, it is concerning that this is not a recall issue for the 2011's as well.
Takata recall - after making a 90degree right turn has a locking feel have to pull back center line. Noticing a difficulty going straight feels as if it wants to steer in manual mode like cars did without power steering. Only have 49400 miles.
Steering froze and i could not turn left. We were driving into town from the lake, pulling our boat. Began to notice the truck was not allowing me the adjust left and about 5 minutes later we could not turn left. I pulled as a hard as i could and could only move the wheel about 1 inch left. Next day the radio display screen said something about power steering system. I took the truck to mckie ford in rapid city sd by driving only where i could turn right. Ford dealer replaced the steering gear and charged me $1500. And no guarantee the "new" epas gear box won't fail. Very frightening to be driving and not be able to move or turn left! and i see ford has started recalling some of there vehicles with this same system. How can they recall some not all? in hindsight, there was a symptom for about 2 years: when driving through a left curve the truck would "buckle" or kick ever so slightly to the right as if the tie rod was loose. I took it to the ford dealership a couple times and they were unable to tell me why it was doing that.
First problem is the electric power steering. Today i was driving home from work everything working fine, moderate traffic, and i happened upon a sharp curve in the road where i completely lost electric power steering and almost careened into oncoming traffic. I pulled over to gather myself and slowly drove to the closest pull off. Suddenly my power steering was working again. This has happened 5 times now. Ford cant find anything wrong but they are happy to replace the electric power steering box for $1800.it is an un serviceable part so it must be replaced. This system is faulty and dangerous. This all occurred during city driving.there should be a recall before someone is hurt.
Takata recall my steering is hard to turn in park in street or in motion on a highway.
Driving 70 mph on interstate 44 out of joplin, mo when i was driving around a slight curve. The steering locked up. I could not steer at all. I slammed on the brakes to avoid crashing into oncoming cars. If there was another vehicle close to me it would have been an accident of really bad consequences.i was lucky. I took the truck to the local ford dealer and they said the steering gear was crushed. I called ford for an explanation and was literally told there is nothing they have to do. I want others to know that this happened with no warning whatsoever.the dealership is charging me 1500.00 plus change to fix this. I can't see how i will ever trust that steering again.
I purchased a brand new ford f150 truck and immediately began to experience steering issues.steering becomes stuck on a turn and then getting out of turn results in swerving.i almost was in two head-on accidents in the narrow roads around where i drive.this is a significant safety issue... Ford is replacing steering gears but why isn't this a recall- there appears to be a tsb on this issue, but this is way more serious in my experience..this needs to be addressed asap i am very concerned for other potential people having accidents.
While truck in motion steering wheel binds. Any speed . Gets stuck and has to be forced to center after slight turns. Worse on hard turns
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the power steering failed to operate as designed. The contact stated that the vehicle jerked while driving. The contact stated that the failure occurred at various speeds and occurred more often over time. The service epas warning light was illuminated. The contact had not contacted a dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.
Been having problems with the stability control light popping up on the screen when all of a sudden my steering wheel locked up and the steering control light shows up. Truck won't steer left or right. Thank god i was parked when it failed. Being told it's the electronic rack n pinion box. I only have 60,000 mile on the truck. I'm 59 years old and i drive to from work. Please help.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 10 mph, the steering wheel seized. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 140,000.
Newer ford f150's are equipped with an electronic power assist rack and pinion steering which has problems with popping over bumps or rough terrain.the problem seems to occurring to a lot of owners with the epas steering( f150 forum members over 600 posts on the topic and 57,000 views.mine is affected as well. I have had my truck into two different ford dealerships with no resolve.the problem has been isolated to the epas steering rack.the steering feels very loose and sloppy.traveling over small bumps or rough terrain results in popping, knocking in the steering linkage.when off road, the knocking is more pronounced and the steering feels like you could lose control. Despite numerous calls to ford by f150 owners, no recalls or tsb's have been issued to address this problem.
Read the blogs on it from 1000s of other 2011 ford f 150 owners please
Driving truck at highway speed decided to make a left hand turn , slowed to near stopping speed and started to turn and steering wheel froze and nearly crashed truck ,couldn't budge the steering wheel .acted as if engine turned off but truck was still running, i popped hood disconnected battery for 10 minutes hooked back up and still no steering, with both hands i could turn it max 1 inch in either direction, 25 miles from home took 2 hours and backing up and forward several times to even make a very small corner, un-safe and definately not buying another f-150. Took to shop with hoist and took electric power steering assist apart and belt was chewed and destroyed, can't buy a belt anywhere , all parts and ford want $1200 to $1700 for complete rack all it needs is a $5simple belt to fix it.anyone know the part # for belt? 2011 f-150 hd tow pkg 4x4 5.0l epsa belt part #
Power steering works sporadically when cold and at very low speeds, such as close turns into drives etc. Steering resembles old manual steering. Has been occurring since first of this year.
I was backing my f-150 down an alley out into the street when i had a sudden and complete steering failure. The steering wheel did not just feel stiff but locked up as if it were being held by something. There was no indication from either symptoms or any type of warning light as to the fail prior to this. After torquing on it. It finally broke to the right and then was able to move the wheels but it wanted to lock in certain positions. I am a big guy and could hardly move the wheel when it was trying to lock up. My wife would not have been able to move it at all. I have read the information since on this system and have found that the problem is consistent to the type of devise used to drive the power assist. When the electromagnet fails it locks into position rather than assisting the steering. This is very dangerous as it takes an incredible amount of power to move to steering wheel if this happens. This should not be an issue on a 5 year old truck that has just 50k this month.
2011 ford f150 steering starts to bind as if power steering loss at 10-11 o'clock position. Took it to sunrise ford in north hollywood ca. Diagnosed as a power steering gear fault.
The steering on my truck has started to stick and is getting worse all of the time. It started happening at low speeds and has since started to stick on the highway. It is bad enough that i have to pull the wheel to get the truck back in line.
While driving the truck on a city street, upon turning into a driveway the power steering stopped working. This caused a real problem trying to correct the turn. Upon investigating this it has come to light that there has been a problem with the electric power assist steering. Not only on this 2011 f150, but various other ford models and years of manufacture. The dealership and ford customer service says no recalls have been issued. I believe it is time to issue a recall because this is an expensive repair and ford should own up to this problem that has been ongoing for years! why should the consumer be put into this dangerous situation and expensive repair? it's time nhtsa to stand up and tell ford to fix this problem! this vehicle can not be trusted on the road anymore and it sits in the driveway. Now, if the nhtsa wants to pay $2,000 to repair the epas, all will be good. Then the nhtsa can send the receipt to ford if they ever issue a recall.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 mph, the power steering failed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the power steering electronic gear module needed to be replaced.the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle violently shook while driving 50 mph. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the dealer could not diagnose the failure. The contact replaced the tires, but the failure continued. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that a software update for the vehicle's system was not available. The failure mileage was 9,400.
Going down the road at 65mph, lost power steering. This is gonna kill someone. Ford dealership says 1500 dollars, i say you pay for it. No way at 120k miles should i lose power steering.
Feels like a loose joint in the steering shaft. Some people refer to it as popping. It feels like a loose ball joint would feel.as your driving, the front end feels loose, and you can feel "the road" in the wheel.i took the truck to the dealer, and they told me there's nothing wrong with it.i've had several people drive the truck and they told me the same thing, something feels loose in the front end.
When maneuvering in the parking lot, the epas unit failed creating the steering wheel to be extremely hard to move. This issue was so bad i could no longer drive the truck back due to safety concerns. I am having the truck towed to the ford dealer to see what they can do about this issue. The service advancedtrac information display appeared on my dash as well as electronic powersteering assist system failure. When turning as far right as possible the truck would make a really loud metal to metal noise. This truck is no longer able to drive safely, hopefully ford will take action to fix this issue before its too late. Otherwise, i am still going to have to pay out of pocket around $1200-1500 to have this fixed.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the electronic steering failed while driving 60 mph, without warning. The contact loss power steering and pulled off to the shoulder of the roadway. The contact called a friend who owned a trailer to have the vehicle trailered to his residence. Riser ford lincoln (4201 central ave, hot springs, ar 71913) was contacted and informed of the failure. The contact was informed that the vin was not subjected to a recall. The vehicle was diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 187,073.
When turning steering wheel the epas (electronic power steering assist) catches and lags for a short time and does not respond. This happens intermittently and not all the time. It was taken in to corwin ford in nampa, idaho for this problem on september 17, 2013 while still under warranty at 21,310 miles (invoice number 10763). They could not duplicate the problem and no fix was done. This has been a continuing problem ever since and still happens occasionally.yesterday, august 31, 2016 with 30,050 miles on my f150, this happened again. This is a safety issue when driving due to the fact that you are not expecting this problem with returning to center of the steering wheel when driving down the highway and can cause you to veer out of your lane or toward the side of the road.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact was driving 50 mph and attempting a left turn when the steering wheel seized. The contact had to pull the steering wheel back into its normal position. The vehicle was inspected by a local dealer but was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the incident and offered to pay a percentage of the repair cost to have it repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 54000. The vin was unavailable.
Steering intermittently locks up on primarily left turn. Problem has been worsening to include turns to the right.when it happens, steering will totally lock up making driving and completing turns impossible. Extreme safety hazard. Slightly turning steering to the left & right sometimes corrects the problem. Speed and road conditions do not seem to be a factor as to when the steering wants to lock up, just turns.condition has been worsening over the past couple of months. Cold weather, however, does seem to worsen the problem.
1. Rear defrost and side mirror defrost fuse continually blows. Started appx 3 yrs and at 42,000 miles 2. Steering column locks up when turning left at a slow speed in cases such as pulling into or out of a driveway or parking spot or making a u turn.at high speeds on the interstate vehicle floats to the left and it is hard to straighten, almost as if there is no power assist.(i understand ford recalled some but not all2011 f150's for a steering rack replacement (started around 4 yrs/ 55,000 miles3. Transmission takes about 10 seconds to engage into reverse upon starting in the morning or on cold days when vehicle has been parked for mare then say 5 hoursstarted around 6 months/ 6,000 miles.
Driving down the highway at 70 mph with no other previous indications the steering wheel jerked hard to the right then the power steering was gone. The power steering fault message and service advancetrac message were displayed on the message center. I pulled to the side of the road and attempted a shut down and restart. The service power steering now message was then displayed.
I was driving down a state highway, and signaled for a right turn.as i slowed and began my turn the power steering system quit and because of the increased turning effort i wound up on the wrong side of the road onto which i was turning. A warning message appeared on my dash that i had a power steering failure. I muscled the truck over to the side of the road.i turned off the engine and restarted it.the power steering worked for about 1-200 feet, then failed again.fortunately, there were no other vehicles heading in my direction when i went into the opposite lane.i was able to "muscle" the truck to the side of the road and stop safely.i got the truck to the dealer and was told it need a new electronic power steering assist unit at a cost of $1,600+.this seems like a safety issue to me.what if an inexperience driver had been driving or someone without my size or strength?
I have a 2011 f150 with 65k miles. I noticed extra play in the steering at just under 60k miles. I had power steering module recalibrated. I thought this fixed the problem. Approx 3mos later i am having the same issue. Loss of control at high speeds and corners. I had alignment done today which did not fix the problem. Dealership said i needed a $1600 steering gear replaced. They couldnt tell me why this would fail with low miles unless it was a faulty part. After researching consumer complaints online it looks like there are many complaints about accidents on low mile f150s of this year due to steering failure.when i asked if the vehicle was safe to drive if i could not get this part right away, ($1600) they said that it is not unheard of for the steering to fail. They could not tell me why a recall for safety has not been done.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 65 mph, the contact heard an abnormal noise and the vehicle lost steering ability. The failure occurred without warning. Upon inspection, it was discovered that a steering component fell to the ground. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.
I recently purchased a used ford f150 2011 raptor. The steering continues to be problematic. The issue is that turning the wheel "sticks" and becomes almost non functional. The problem is sporadic but steady. I paid over $600 at a local auto repair shop and the problem still exists. Can i obtain more info if i can get this resolved by ford under a recall?
When pulling out of a parking lot the instrument cluster lcd goes black, assisted power steering stops working making it hard to steer. Then after a few seconds comes back on and steering rapidly corrects to current position. So far has mostly happened during the first few minutes after running. So far this has only happened once while driving on the highway during a straight stretch.
Steering wheel shakes real bad on stopping the harder the stop the worse it shakes this truck has 16000 miles on it now and the problem seems to have started after the 1st service and tire rotation (about 8500 miles) although it did not start immediately after but rather seemed to get worse over time from that pointi believe that it is warped brake rotors possibly from cheap or defective oem parts the truck has never been off road or abused just daily drive to from work 19 miles each way.
I was driving one afternoon and all of a sudden when i turned my steering wheel it would let out a high pitched screeching noise and my steering wheel would lock up. I couldn't turn it left nor right because it was stuck but if i forced it it would unlock but still make the screeching sound. And this is where i am at almost wrecking 5 times that day trying to get home and not being able to drive to work with my car due to the fact my power steer is failing for no reason what so ever.
Power steering keeps popping when turning and locks up
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that whenever he turned the steering wheel, he would feel a bump coming from the steering wheel when it returned to the straightened position. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was told that the steering components were defective. All of the steering components were replaced. The failure mileage was 30 and the current mileage was 680. Updated 06/01/11*ljupdated 1/18/2012 *ln
Steering locked up while driving 40 plus miles an hour on a winding road almost crashed.had trouble getting it off the tow truck. Towed it home and messed with the fuse box still locked. Gotinto the truck and manually reset the steering. Started truck and was able to drive. At first thought it was the rack and pinion, but i i would not have just reset and drove as nothing was wrong. I think that it has to do with the electric motor on the actual rack. Very dangerous and very expensive part. This could have been a lawsuit for ford if my husband would have driven off a cliff as we live in a very mountainous area. This seems to be a component issue and not a rack issue. The motor is not serviceable so i would be very interested to see the inside of the motor but it has been spot welded. This needs to be resolved and not only with the escapes, and other ford vehicles with the similar parts for steering. Looking at the forums this is a very common thing with this truck that is being overlooked. And i believe it has to do with the cost of the repair. Ford would lose a lot of money.1600 for the motor alone.
I was driving and making a turn when the steering felt like the power steering fluid was low. It became harder to turn and after completing a turn i had to use both hands, hand over hand, to get the car straight again. Picture turning left from a county road onto a state highway, and when you want to straighten out the truck it continues into oncoming traffic. This seems worse when the vehicle is cold versus after it has warmed up. This six cylinder engine does not have hydraulic power steering with fluid, bet rather an electrical power assist motor.
2011 ford f-150 with 103,000 miles. Electronic power assist steering (epas) motor failure. Ford makes replacement of the failed part itself unavailable and requires you replace the entire steering rack and epas motor, an estimated $1600 at the dealership. Parts are also unavailable from anywhere but ford. Steering often "catches" at speeds above 4o mph causing the driver to jerk the steering wheel out of the "catch" and often times over-correct the vehicle. This is especially dangerous when it happens at highway speeds unexpectedly.
While driving thru a parking lot i received a warning "service advantrac" then while making a turn into a food drive thru another alarm went off. Power steering assist fault. I lost all power steering and nearly crashed into the drive thru sign. This all happened within minutes. When the steering goes out there is not advanced indications or warnings until it happens. The electric assist motor is just disabled. You have no steering at that point. It is harder to turn then an older manual steering vehicle. The entire rack n pinion steering unit has to be replaced due to under engineering. It is one motor but is embedded into the rack. The cost alone is 1200.00 for the rack not including labor to install and reprogram. To me this is an extreme safety issue that will some day get someone severely injured or death due to a non steering vehicle. At the time of the failure i had just driven over a very steep and windy mountain road. Scary to think what might have happened if it had failed on that road.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at various low speeds, the steering wheel seized without warning. The contact used excessive force to regain control of the steering wheel. Norm reeves ford of ceritos, ca was made aware of the failure and it was determined that the rack and pinion failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000. The vin was not available.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. Contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, the steering wheel ceased without warning. The vehicle was taken to bredemann ford located at 2038 waukegan rd, glenview, il 60025, (847) 348-8097, to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the rack pinion needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 180,000.
My power steering went out while trying to leave a parking lot which resulted in me almost hitting another parked vehicle. While moving, the steering would lock up for a second or two before allowing me to adjust the wheel. After taking a turn, the steering locks out in the direction of the turn and makes it very difficult to get the truck back driving straight. Apparently this is going to cost me over 1,500$ to get fixed. Ford has done recalls of thousands of other vehicles for this same issue, so why not include the f-150 in the recalls? people shouldn't have to pay almost 2 grand out of pocket for faulty parts. This is a safety issue and it is going to lead to someone being seriously injured or killed.
My vehicle no longer will assist with the power steering. The wheel feels like it's sticky and won't return to center. If making a turn the steering wheel just stays in place.
My 2011 ford f150 with electric power steering sails while driving. It starts out working fine and then once the truck is up to speed it's difficult to turn the wheel between 11 o'clock and one o'clock on the steering wheel. The malfunction does not throw a code on the pcm so the dealership says it's fine. But i'm looking around on a lot of different blog sites in hundreds if not thousands of other people are having the same problem with their electric power steering suddenly not working. I drive-in snowy icy conditions for work during the winter in this problem has almost caused numerous accidents because of the jerky motion you have to perform to change lanes or steer. I would really appreciate if this issue could be investigated because there's no recall from ford.
My 2011 ford f150 -with only 39000 miles- had a complete failure of the rack mounted electric power assisted steering module which prohibited it from being driven. The failure caused an increase in steering effort (no power assist) of the vehicle which needed to be towed to the dealer for repair. Fortunately, the vehicle was not being driven at that time and was parked at the time of the failure. In addition, a driver alert was observed that indicated that the power steering rack had failed and warned to service the power steering system.an attempt was made to reset the system but the message returned again after restart and the power steering assist was not functioning. The vehicle was towed to the ford dealer who indicated that the power steering rack had failed and would need to be replaced. Total replacement cost was in excess of $1500.00. The vehicle only had 39000 miles indicated on the odometer. This is very similar to reports of the failures on sedan vehicles installed with similarly designed power steering racks. It is recommended to nhtsa, that the recall/investigation of this issue with sedans be expanded to include ford light trucks.
The steering locked up while my husband was traveling on the highway. He had to break hard to avoid crashing into a jersey barrier. The steering unlocked in the nick of time.since then the steering intermittently freezes causing him to manipulate the steering sharply to the right then back to left.we brought the truck to ford and was quoted $1700.00 for a new steering rack.this should be recalled as there is not preventative maintenance that can be done to prevent this.
Driving down the road around 30mph and lost power steering. "power steering assist fault" appeared on the message center in the gauge cluster. Pulled over safely and restarted the vehicle and the message was still on the message center. Power steering is still absent.
While driving my steering rack suddenly broke making it nearly impossible tohandle and avoid vehicles on the roadway on a city road about to enter the highway.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. Thirty minutes after the vehicle was started, the steering wheel became hot and the vehicle lost power without warning. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road, cooled off, and restarted. The contact stated that the failure recurred at various driving speeds. The dealer diagnosed that the electronic power steering needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The failure was not remedied. The failure mileage was 133,000.
When the electrical power steering fails, one is unable to turn the wheels any further.this can happen when the vehicle is moving or stationary, and happens at all speeds, doesn't matter city or highway driving. I feel this is a critical safety issue, since one would be unable to turn the wheels in order to avoid a hazard in the road, i.e. A child darting out onto the streets, or, if one what following a curve in the road, one would not be able to follow the curve, and could end up off the road, or, impacting an object on the side of the road, or, end up in a body of water, or, down an embankment.
Steering binds when turning, both when going into a turn and returning to center (straight). Most noticeable on city streets. I must use extra arm strength in both maneuvers. Problem first noticed about 2 years ago. Has gotten progressively worse since.
Steering sticks, very dangerous!!!
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving at approximately 5 mph and turning into a parking space, the steering wheel seized and the power steering warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the rack and pinion needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 54,000.
The engine misfires and changes to "limp mode" after the engine shudders, shakes and looses power.this has happened twice in the life of this vehicle.also the steering sticks when turning left.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while making a turn at approximately 10 mph, the power steering suddenly failed. The vehicle was shut down and restarted but to no avail. The vehicle was able to be driven to the contact's residence by applying excessive force to the steering wheel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was found that the electric power steering motor and the rack & pinion system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.
In 2016 i went to get recall repaired from franklin tn dealership i purchased the truck from, they refused, in 2019, they claim that the software was not available from ford, online in emails to another dealer, i have not been told when to bring truck in to get all recalls repaired. Both dealerships are in tn. When in first gear, the truck will jerk back down and won't allow me to go to 2nd gear without pressing hard on gas, loud fan noise from the hood, breaks go to the floor and i have to pump to feel truck slowing down, air and heat continue to not work, air won't get cool and heat won't get hot, both dealerships have refused to repair or blamed ford for not giving them what they needed to fix the recalls. I am documenting so my family will be able to give this to attorney. The down shift happens when the truck is in drive moving on any and every street, parking lot, stop light/sign. The loud fan noise from the engine only happens when the truck is started, the brakes have been going to the floor for 8 years at different times of the day/night when driving.
At roughly 32000 miles, in october of 2014 i experienced a failure of the electric brake vacuum assist.the symptoms were that the pump constantly ran and could audibly be heard where it was not previously constantly running.as soon as i noticed a change i reported the issue to johnson ford in pittsfield ma..the pump was replaced in october of 2014 under warranty.no recall or campaign has been implemented for this condition but numerous reports by ford owners have been made regarding the same condition. I believed the audible noise i was hearing was a steering component because i was simultaneously having an issue with "notchy" steering.while negotiating a long, gradual turn my steering would lock while turning left.the wheel would lock when the top of the steering wheel was in the area of the 10 o'clock position.no crash occurred but the condition was very unsafe.the vehicle had to be driven erratically to remedy the condition.a hard yank on the wheel was necessary to forcibly increase steering input.the steering components were alsoreplaced in october of 2014 by johnson ford under warranty.no recall or campaign has been implemented for this condition but numerous reports have been made regarding the same condition. The electric vacuum assist replaced in october of 2014, nine months ago was the same part with no updates as the one that failed.i again hear the vacuum assist motor running almost constant as it was when replaced.the truck is no longer under warranty.i have only had this vacuum assist for nine months. I spoke with ford customer service. No warranty is available as i have driven the truck in excess of 12,000 miles (12,200 miles at the time i reported the problem).the customer service employee offered no service other than to bring it to ford at my expense for repairs, $130.00 diagnosis, $580 pump, $200.00 labor.
When driving and you make slight turns and go back to straighten wheel out the steering locks up for a few seconds. From all the research i have done it seems like the electronic power steering assist is the issue. I noticed this to happen as we were driving through the mountains. I see online others having the same issue. It is very dangerous. The wheelgets very hard to hold onto and i would hate to have to be in a big turn and can't turn the wheel back especially if we are going at a normal speed. This will act up at anytime on any type of road.from research this can be quiet expensive for the repair, as it is causing other things to be affected that may need repairs as well.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 30 mph, the power steering seized and the service power steering now warning indicator illuminated. The contact was able to drive the vehicle home, but had great difficulty maneuvering the steering wheel. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The failure mileage was 144,610. *dt
Lack of steering wheel return ability on left turns. Must be manually corrected.
When driving at lower speeds, there is a knocking/ popping feeling that is felt through the steering wheel.this is being generated from the front end of the vehicle and makes the truck feel like the wheels are going to fall off.this seems like it is a safety issue which ford needs to address.
Steering locks up while turning left or right while in motion on any road surface. Same problem we had with our other truck that is a one serial number off. With that truck the dealer needed to replace the rack and pinion assembly while under warranty. The truck had 15000 mile. This truck having problem now has 19,500 miles on it. The truck with the problem now is constantly having the steering locking up and is out of warranty now.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving, the steering wheel malfunctioned. The vehicle veered to the left and the steering wheel nearly ceased in position. The contact compensated by turning the steering wheel to the right to straighten the vehicle. The contact continued driving to his destination. Thoroughbred ford (8501 n boardwalk ave, kansas city, mo 64154, (816) 505-1818) referred the contact nhtsa. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and filed a case. The failure mileage was 250,000.
While making a sharp left turn i heard a loud squeaking sound, and then got the advance trac fault and it reset it self and a few days later got the same sound and fault. About 3 weeks later i heard the same noise and the steering wheel locked intermittently and i wasn't able to turn the steering wheel left direction. Had vehicle taken to local ford dealer and was told by service tech that the steering gear needs to be replaced, cost $1,750. This is a very dangerous problem that needs to be recalled and repaired by ford. This can put a driver in an accident resulting in injury or possible death upon failure.
While in motion went to turn left the steering locked up made a squalling sound, traction light displayed and also, power steering assist displayed and, service advance track displayed and turn signals were not staying on,(had to hold them manually.took truck to dealership and told the problem was an epas failure. Laymen terminology is the steering gear has failed.mileage on vehicle is 39,882,and will cost approximately $1450.00 to fix this problem. I do have a repair invoice but have no way to scan. Be happy to mail a copy and any thing else needed.
Steering angle sensor module failure
Steering is 'sticky' on left hand turns.ford attempted to address the issue without replacing parts which helped. However, the problem has returned and is worse than before.steering can be an problem either at speeds or when stationary. I have difficulty staying in a lane when on the highway as it jerks back from the left. Also notice sometimes when parked.the steering can take significant effort to reverse a turn. There was a technical bulletin issued by ford for this problem. See tsb 11-8-18
Takata recall: after the vehicle has sat for an extended amount of time, 8+ hours, the steering column or rack seems to lock up. When you attempt to start the vehicle and drive, you do not have any steering response from the rack. The steering wheel is locked in place with only 15-20 degrees worth of 'play'. Also, while driving, the steering wheel seems to stick periodically while navigating down roads (city and highway). When the road curves and you turn, the steering seems to click, or jump a little, making the vehicle over react. This has caused multiple accidents to others, and no recall has been issued at this time for the 2011 model year by ford.
My f150 has been making popping feelings and noises that are resonating up through the steering column into the steering wheel. This is not only very annoyning, but it makes everyone that is having this same issue with their 2011 f150's wonder if it is a safety hazard. This could potentially become an accident waiting to happen. I have been to the ford dealer and they replaced the steering column and this did not fix the issue. Ford has not been responsive to this issue.
2011 f150 steering failure , when failed steering failed stability control and steering went. While making turn steering would " lock" preventing tempary control of pickup, before completing trip power assist went totally out.contacted ford they state that the power assist needs to be replaced from description alone, they also had recalled multiple other vehicles for this issue how ever the f 150 is not one of those and it will cost 3 k to fix.... Umm if all your other vehicles are doing this and this one is doing the same thing then its a defect!the only thing that helped me prevent the accident from happening was my training as an evo ( emergency vehicle operator) at the time of failure i was turning in front of semi , if i would not have taken the ditch and prevented measures this would have been a quad fatality . Truck is parked at a dress given unable to drive home
The steering wheel on my 2011 f150 has become very difficult to turn and is becoming a safety hazard while driving. Not only to me and my family but for other drivers on the road. I will be taking the truck in to my mechanic tomorrow for a diagnosis. Truck has 80k miles on it.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 30 mph, the steering wheel became stiff and was unable to be maneuvered. The vehicle struck a curb, as a result. There was no crash. The contact drove the vehicle home and turned off the engine. When the vehicle was restarted, the service advance track indicator was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and dealer were not aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 138,000.
When turning steering locks up going left prevent correction or turning.
2011 ford f-150 lariat approximately 77,000 miles. Power steering assist warning comes on and off along with the power steering going out. So far it has only happened while stationary so other than being difficult to steer there hasn't been an issue but if it happens when turning it could definitely cause a serious crash. After a quick google search i found this is a tremendous issue for this year model truck. I cannot believe there has not been a recall issued especially in light of ford recalling thousands of other models for problems with the steering assist.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph, the power steering system malfunctioned and the vehicle became difficult to steer. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer, who stated that the entire rack and pinion needed to be replaced. The contact did not have the rack and pinion replaced. The failure mileage was 47,000.
My steering has become tight and catches when turning to the left. It catches when at a stop or going around curves like i've lost the power steering and has caused me to almost hit other vehicles on several occasions. It doesn't matter if i'm driving 25 miles an hour or driving down the highway. It pulls to the left all the time.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 3 mph and backing out of a driveway, the steering wheel became very difficult to turn when shifted into drive. The contact had to turn the steering wheel aggressively. Once the vehicle was driven under normal conditions, the steering became stiff once again and difficult to control. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 28,900.updated 09/20/16*ljwhen the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, no codes displayed on the computer. Updated 10/18/16.
While driving with a 5,500 pound camp trailer in tow the vehicle developed significant vibration and feed back from the road. The problem came about after approximately 20k miles on the truck. I would notice it primarily over joints in the road and any road imperfections also notice it and hear a clunking when off road on dirt roads. The clunking is intermittant but is there.it feels as if there is a loose component in the steering assembly which then can be felt in the steering wheel. I can notice both with trailer and without more when temperatures are higher such as 80 degrees or more. Not so much when cold but i am still able to get road feedback in the steering wheel at lower temps just not as bad.you can especially notice the vibration/feedback in colder temps if holding the steering wheel at its lowest point (bottom of wheel) while driving. I took the vehicle to the dealer several times and they allege they could not duplicate the problem. I have taken the vehicle back now 4 separate times and on the last time i showed the service adviser how i can grasp the steering shaft in the engine compartment and manually by hand turn the shaft back and forth as if in a steering motion and you can hear a loud clicking noise coming from somewhere either in the rack unit itself or the steering shafts.i am not sure where the noise is actually coming from but clearly in the steering assembly somewhere. I have great concern over safety and have now read many similar complaints including complete steering failure. Sounds like ford does not exactly know how to go about repairs and so reluctant to replace any parts in case that does not fix issue. I understand that theory but wish they would at least try something for safety. If there is not a safety issue it is still an eerie feeling driving a truck at highway speed with looseness and vibration in the steering assembly.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 5 mph and making left turns, the steering wheel locked up without warning. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (apple ford of lynchburg, located at 2113 lakeside dr lynchburg, va 24501) where it was confirmed that the steering module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 104,882.
Whenturning the streering wheel it gets hard .you have to make sure both hands on streering so you can bring it back the wheels wants to continue turn it will release after a while hardto control
Power steering became inoperable without warning causing vehicle to become difficult to steer or control. Vehicle was taken to ford dealer where problem was diagnosed as a failed steering rack, rack was replaced and vehicle now operates normally.the sudden power steering failure could cause loss of control and a crash.
I have 63,000 miles on this vehicle.in the last week the steering has acted very weird.i have toovercompensate (oversteer or understeer) in order to accomplish the correct turn. I was traveling in town.i wouldn't drive it at highway speeds.i feel very uncomfortable driving this vehicle because i'm not sure i can depend on the steering.i went online tohttp://www.carcomplaints.com/ford/f-150/2011/steering/steering-2.shtml and found 65 similar complaints.what's going on?its continuing not to steer correctly (last tuesday until now).the weather has been very mild for minnesota (20-40s).i checked for ice and damage but didn't see anything.
Steering started making a funny noise and power steering stopped working.could not steer vehicle. No prior issues with steering.
Vehicle loses power steeringcan't turn the wheel traction control light comes on but it happens so fast and you need two grown men to try to turn the steering wheel just to get off of road to safety
Why would the electric power stirring go out all at once with no warning i was driving down the road was in a very busy town the power stirring just stopped working all at once like to have not got the truck off the road this is dangerous too drive i had to have it towed home
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 65 mph, the steering wheel was difficult to maneuver. The contact also stated that the entire electrical control panel failed and the instrument panel illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 39,000.
Power steering has begun working intermittently requiring extra effort when turning, usually when vehicle is cold.problem seems to decrease after having driven for 10 minutes or so.
2012 ford f-150 pickup trucks do not have a grab handle on the drivers side a pillar.ford f-150 trucks are higher than passenger cars and require a driver to pull or hold onto an object to enter the drivers side of the vehicle.ford recommends drivers pull on the steering wheel as an assist when entering the f-150.it appears that repetitive and strenuous pulling on the steering wheel, particularly by larger drivers over 6 feet tall and weighing over 200 pounds, when entering the f-150, can cause steering components to break which could lead tosteering failure, or problems while the vehicle is in motion.suggested solution:ford has a grab handle on the passenger side a pillar to assist passengers when entering the truck. Evidently, ford engineers see a need to place a grab handle for occupants to use when entering f-150 trucks.to avoid possible steering mechanism damage, ford should place a grab handle on the drivers side a pillar which would remove the potential damage to the steering mechanism.
The electronic power steering fails intermittently. Most often it fails while in the process of turningleft while in motion. When it fails, the steering goes to manual which makes it difficult to control the vehicleand complete the turn. It's very dangerous and could easily cause an accident or injuries.
Started with an 'advance trac' service indicator warning at first while turning or backing up. Then while in reverse, a parking assist service indicator warning appeared on display. These warnings did not last long and was not appearing every start up.the warning itself did not prepare me for a steering lock up either.from what i understand this is the first year ford made all electric power steering, which is havoc and could've been an easier fix if a consumer could've just added fluid. A week later while turning into driveway, the steering totally locked up making it almost impossible to turn the wheel.luckily there were no vehicles on side of us to collide with. Since there are no recalls on this yet and many complaints on same subject, this will be a costly expense for us as ford tries to see if this all electric power steering will work or not.we should be not guinea pigs for this experiment and ford should have tested and vetted thoroughly before put on market. We've just hit 100k miles when this happened.
Rack and pinion is shot. The steering would stick while you were driving it over the last 2 yrs. Went to move the truck into our shop and the steering locked up on it.
Steering sticks, slight turn to the left or right, let go of the wheel, and the wheel does not return to straight.very hard to steer.problem comes and goes but has become worse lately. I have to really concentrate when the condition is at it's worst.it's an unsafe steering situation.condition occurs at all speeds, on paved and on dirt roads.
While driving the steering wheel gets stuck and locks up.i have to then slow downor stop in the middle of the road and turn the steering wheel to the opposite direction. This has happened many times, and it doesn't matter if i'm on a country road, city street or interstate while driving.i have told the dealership several times about this problem since i purchased the truck in may 2017.it continues to be an issue.i am afraid i'm going to get rear ended or hit another vehicle when this problem occurs.it doesn't matter what speed i am traveling either.
Takata recall .... When turn right have pull real hard to go back left when truck is moving on a city streetand on highway ....as this could be a problem not getting truck to turn
Driving in a strip mall the steering locked up and a code stating power steering assist fault warning came on. I had to forcefully steer into a parking space to get out of the way from thru traffic. I turned off the engine and restarted the truck and it reset the warning. I was able to drive to an o'reillys where they were not able to help me. The steering locked up again at o'reillys. I had to call a nephew to help me with truck to a shop to see what the problem was. Three same code came on. There should be a recall for this issue. It is very dangerous.
Took vehicle 2011 f-100to ford service center for service engine light diagnosis. Ford dealer informed me vehicle was misfiring and needed plugs and coils. Dealer then informed me that the vehicle also needs steering rack replacement as codes reveal a rack failure. Service advance track light was on. Quoted $1800.00 for steering rack replacement. Vehicle now has 83200 miles on it. This light has been coming on and off for at least the last 2 years. Dealer says total failure is a certainty in time. After research on internet i find that ford has identified this problem on vehicles in my model year and has done nothing about it . Safety concern is that steering could freeze while driving and result in accident.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While turning out of a parking lot at 10 mph, the steering wheel seized and the power steering indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The dealer stated that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign numbers: 11v128000 (electrical system, body control module) and 10v659000 (electrical system, body control module). The approximate failure mileage was 78,000.
Backed up from parking spot and put in drive and the steering quit working. Fault codes appeared for steering assy fault.turned off and then back on but did not resolve the problem.drove to dealership and they had to replace steering gear.
The service advancetrac light comes on regularly while trying the steering wheel at low speeds.it used to not be as common, but has gotten worse i. The past 6 months. Today i tried slowing down while making a right turn and the steering g locked up on me mid-turn. Based on the same diagnostics as hundreds of others with this problem, it's indicated that the entire steering rack will need replaced. Ford knows about this problem with not just the 2011 models, but with the 2012 and 2013 models as well.
Power steering assist fault came on .lost power steering almost got in a accident. Almost hit a semi ..took in to shop and they said,faulty gear box...someone is going to get killed.you are recalling 2015 on this same issue..ford need to step up and fix this problem on all electrical power steering i.am going to seek a lawyer on this problem..they say it going to cost me 2500.00.....i don't have this amount to fit this
Second incident with my 2011 ford f-150.epas steering gear failed 9 months after purchasing new. Failed again last week.second replacement of this gear.this is a safety hazard.the first time this gear failed, i was unable to steer, fortunately i was turning at a stop light at slow speed.this most recent time i could still steer but wasn't sure for how long.this is a well known issue with this model truck and should be recalled and properly fixed before someone looses steering at highway speeds.
I was slowing down to pull in my driveway and the steering went out, almost took out my wifes car. Service steering now came on. Put the truck in park, turned off and restarted. Went to drive error code went away, as i was backing up steering became hard and impossible. Service steering immediately came on. Muscled the truck straight in my driveway and backed it to the end. Called the dealer i bought it from and was told that im not the first one to come in with this problem, but there is no recall on it and it would cost me 1500+ to repair. I don't make a lot of money, and i had my little brother in the truck. How is this okay? i cant drive this let alone get to work.
Electronic steering system failure when turning left. The issue began when i purchased the vehicle but was very intermittant. Over time it has gotten worse. Ford recalled other vehicles for same issue due to safety but not mine. I see on line many forums disucssing my exact issue on the same model year. I went to ford corporate with no traction as they seemed like they didnt know the issue. I took my truck to the ford dealer & they agree that its failing & want to charge me full price for correction which is 2k to replace electronic steering rack. I said i couldn't afford, they inspected my vehicle & passed it knowing that the steering was unsafe. I cannot afford 2k, i paid 45k for the truck. I have purchase many fords. I am hoping that this becomes a recall soon.
Steering unexpectedly becomes stiff and vehicle is hard to control. This occurs at low speed ,high speed. When turning i have to muscle the steering wheel into a turn and then back out of a turn. I am concerned that the steering may completely lock up or cease at any time which could result in a devastating event.
Power assist steering just goes out while driving at highway speeds
Steering is very erratic. Did not even know i had electric steering. From past experience it felt like i am low on power steering fluid. Went to add fluid and discovered there is no pump or hydraulics. Steering assist is veryunreliable and drops out with out notice and impossible to steer with control especially when making turns in either direction. This is not safe.
While driving down and interstate "power steering assist failure" warning comes up and i lost all power steering. I was able to muscle the car home and after calling the dealer the service manager said they had no idea why that would happen. After researching on the site, it seems this is a common problem that is recalled in some model years but not in others.i have been complaining about the "service advancetrak" warning coming on since i purchased the vehicle and was always told it wasn't hurting anything. I have an extended warranty but after reading it may not do any good. I will be at the dealership tomorrow.
The truck when making a turn to the left sticks when trying to return wheel to stright. In a normal turn when you finish the turn you can let the wheel slide thru your hands and it will strighten by it self. The first time it happened i ended up in the other lane.i've been checking on line and have found out this is a common problem with the epas gear for this year truck. Ford should order a recall to fix this common problem.this isn't a wear and tear item this is a faulty design.
While driving the traction control light will come on and the electronic steering goes out rendering the truck unable to steer. After the truck is restarted the light goes out only to happen again at some point. I was told this is a very common problem by ford mechanics with the 2011 f-150. I have talked to 4 other owners that have the same year truck and three of them have had this very same thing happen, how come ford has not been forced to recall these effected trucks and fix the deadly situation or at the very least had to cover the repairs as these symptoms arise. This seems to happen more right after a bump in the road or while on a left turn. It takes super human strength to then try to keep from striking a car head on in the left lane.
Power steering assist default this message comes up and power steering is gone. The local repair shop gets a code the says "steering angle sensor"the vehicle is drivable at speeds of 45 mph but is very difficult to control at low speeds.the steering is jerky and hard to turn.steering makes a lot of racket especially on sharp turns.after sharp turns like when parkingthis message comes up - "service advance track"then theturn signals have to be manually held on.the turn signal switch has already been replaced.
My truck would intermittanly make a chirping noise and would temporarily be hard to steer while driving around town.one of the warning lights came on so i took it into the ford dealer.the first time, which occurred in june, they couldn't find anything wrong.the second time i took it in (7/21/17), the ford dealer called and told me the electronic stability control was shot and needed to be replaced.they told me that i was lucky i brought it in as it was hard to steer. I have did an internet search and found this problem has caused ford trucks to crash.i wrote a letter to ford detailing the problem (attached) and sent them links to complaints from other ford truck owners.
Power steering not working
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving 65 mph, the vehicle drifted from one lane to another. The contact was unable to control the steering wheel. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for a diagnostic testing but the dealer wasunable to determine the cause of the failure. One of the technicians advised that the steering system computer required updating. The vehicle was taken to several other independent mechanics, all of which advised the contact that there was not a steering computer in the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 45,000. The current mileage was 50,000.
While driving and under no particular common conditions, the dashboard, instrument gauges, interior lighting, headlights, navigation panel suddenly begin flashing and blacking out. Then after a few seconds, come back to normal, but typically with a "traction control service" message on with the trouble light remaining on. This happens about every 10 minutes of driving. Once in a while, it lasted longer and clunking noises seemed to come from the drive train. However, a few occurrences were while turning and the power steering was out. I took it to a belle tire nearby and they could not fix the problem, saying the dealer had toupdate the abs module and gave me a printout of tsb 12-11-18 [attached scan]. They circled diagnostic trouble codes c1278 and c1963 as the ones that popped up in their analysis.i find no recalls of this item, but the steering issue is certainly dangerous.
I had just picked my son up from daycare and was turning off highway on way home and i lost power steering. Then service advanced trac and power steering assist fault was flashing on the cluster screen. And not even a year ago i just had the rack and pinion replaced on this truck.
While driving the other day my steering got really hard to turn all of a sudden, then it worked normally. It has since happen a couple times usually while making a turn - i am afraid to drive it because if it happens in a turn i might hit someone. I have since read that some vehicles are being recalled - but didn't see mine. This recall should be expanded to cover all electric power steering vehicles.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the steering column seized without warning. The failure recurred several times.

Becomes stiff and vehicle is hard to control. This occurs at low speed ,high speed. When turning i have to muscle the steering wheel, the truck will start to drift out of the lane or travel and continue in that direction instead of returning to center.i am always correcting the direction of travel.the truck will travel in a straight line.it acts as if the front endalignmentis out pulling the truck one way and then the other once corrected.it's almost as if you are fighting the steering. The entire time in am driving my truck.i have another 2011 f150 and i can't wait for that one to start having problems
I was driving at 70mph on the freeway with my family in the truck. This section of the road is described as an "s" curve. While entering into the first curve the steering wheel became difficult to control. It was intermittently changing from stiff to soft and back to stiff. So at times i had to fight to hold the steering wheel in position, but fearing that if i turned it too hard it could reach a soft section of control and slam my family into the brick wall. This section of the highway is 3 lanes each direction, and this was during rush hour. With so many similar complaints, i don't understand why there has been no recall to address this potentially deadly problem. This time my family and i were lucky.
On tuesday morning, december 27, 2016 just as i was pulling into the parking space at my office a light flashed on the panel and read "power steering fault" and all of a sudden i could not turn the steering wheel.i turned the engine off and waited about 2-hours before starting it again. Now the message read "service steering now".i contacted ford's roadside assistance and they came the next day and towed my truck to upper marlboro ford as they are down the street from my home.the service department said the steering rack needs to be replaced for a cost of $2000. Furthermore, that part is only available through ford and i've now read where hundreds of other ford f150 owners had the same problem.
2011 f-150 fx4. Service advancetrac warning light displays. It comes on when i start up the vehicle stationary. The turn signals stop working, too. The next day the light will be off. Appears to be a common manufacturing defect that should be a recall just like on the 2014 f-150s as it is a issues of safety.

Electric power steering failure, sudden loss of power, when moving and turning.
While driving the truck on the city road i made a u- turn and the steering skipped. Idrove it the next day on the city road and the steering got worse and the turn blinkers failed to come on. Then 2 days later, while parked, i attempted to back out of the drive way and the steering is completely gone and squeals insistently. The truck is equipped with a epas (electronic power assist steering) system which has failed. In doing research on line, there is a consistent problem with the epas system and i am sure i'm not the only complaint. If this is a known issue, then it should be addressed as soon as possible. My truck is now sitting in my driveway undrivable.
The steering sticks while driving, most of the times while driving streight, but sometimes while turning it will become hard to trun.

There is a knocking,popping,loose feeling in the steering wheel. My truck is on it's 2nd steering rack and it feels worst than the original one after 3500 miles on it. The dealer does'nt know what to do because there is'nt a fix. I do know that this issue is related to the heat, the hotter it is outside and the longer you drive the more noticeable it is. I know that a $45,000 truck should'nt feel like this when it only has 14,000 miles on it. I have called ford customer care and they do nothing and now my dealer is ignoring me. I love my truck, but i wish ford would take care of their customers and this problem.
Im having issues with the power steering feels like the steering wheellocks up then releases. Very dangerous around corners.

On april 3 ,2015i was driving my truck when i went to turn left i lost all steering and almost hit another car. I immediately took the vehicle to hoffman ford when on 4/5/2021 they did a test. I was contacted and was told thatit was due to a software update needed. I was charged for the update and when i contacted ford they told me sorry there is no recall and basically nothing was going to be done. This is very dangerous and needs to be addressed quickly. I could have been seriously injured or injured someone else. I don't know what would have happened if i would have been pulling my camper. I can understand a a part going bad but an update.. So now we arecharging for software updates and risking lives of others.
On saturday 08/18/18 the power steering unit on my my ford f-150 (2011model, 67956miles) failed, fortunately, right when i started the truck in my driveway. Nothing changed when i restarted the truck a few times, so i shut it down without attempting to drive it and had it towed to the dealer where the unit was replaced for $2171.00. I discussed the event with the service manager expressing my surprise there was not a recall on failures of such an important part that impacted vehicle and public safety, or a reimbursement for the cost of replacement.he sympathized and told me to report the incident to ford customer service and supplied me with their telephone number.the c s rep took my information, gave me a case # and said i would be contacted by a regional cs rep.that person called the next day and politely informed me that there was no recall on that type of incident and that ford would not reimburse me for any of the charges for the repair.as i told the cs rep today when i talk about my truck to people this issue will take precedence rather than the enjoyment i have had with it so far.according to info on the nhtsa site this is not an unheard of failure.in fact there are recalls and replacements for steering mechanisms on other ford models from the same year. It appears that ford is stonewalling on this issue and screwing their customers.what does it take to get this mechanical defect covered by a recall? maybe not enough people have been seriously injured or killed?
Steering don't work rite
At speed when turning left the steering sticks, and does not return to center when you let go of the wheel. Most noticeable on highway in a left hand turn.
Right after we purchased the vehicle it started sending signals for error codes. Taken to shop cleared codes ,started again a week later. Now the electric steering system has gone out. No warning just stopped working.the vehicle has 91037 miles on it.
Steering is stiff when cold, and while making turns it sticks in the turn position and is difficult to correct while driving.
When turning hard left or right, sitting still and while driving on highway, the 'traction control systems warning light comes on 'need to have serviced' i have to stop the vehicle, turn off ignition,open the driver door, start and stop vehicle twice for light to go off. I,ve been told by several ford mechinics that the entire steering system has to be replacedand i 'm fortunate that steering hasn't yet locked up... Quoted approx $2000.00 to replace electric steering.
The electric power steering lock! and send me to the side walk, thanks god nobody was there.

While backing up and upon turning the service advancetrac light came on and stayed on. I researched and found that ford has been having problems since 2011 for the electric steering rack and pinion (it was new technology for the 2011 model) going bad and could cause an accident if you lose power steering and there have been tsb's about said problem and no recall has been done regarding this dangerous problem. This should be recalled knowing there is thousands of people having this problem and having to pay over $2k to get this fixed when ford knows about said problem and will do nothing to help the consumer for this is a safety issue and someone could get seriously hurt.
Intermittently the steering wheel will tighten at low speed in reverse.steering assist fault appears on the dash.nearly impossible to steer once this occurs.happened pulling out of the driveway twice today in reverse.
When you are going over bumps there is rattles amd clunks in the steering and the steering is loose.this happens at all speeds and it feels like the whole front end of the truck is loose.thanks
I was driving home on freeway. Right before exiting i lost my power steering. It was very difficult to steer. It took all my strength to switch lanes, turn corners, and make it home. Also, the traction control icon appeared in smart screen. Took vehicle to ford where they hopefully repaired problem. They said it was a faulty module inside the powersteering . My concern is if i'm already having problems , what next! and what are my rights?
10 miles from my destination,ps went out. It was very hard to steer.

There is a very bad rattle coming thru the steering. Seems to be an issue with the epas.
Ford f150 2011.the steering on the truck locks up while driving. Often described on other forums as going into manual mode vs assisted steering. I have had this happen while at a high rate of speed, going around a curve with my family in the vehicle. I have seen many complaints about the same issue on this vehicle however no recall has been issued yet. I have not had an accident yet due to the issue, but i have since placed the vehicle in storage awaiting a recall.

The power steering failed, it is almost impossible to steer. This is a serious safety issue, and could easily result in a deadly accident. I am not finding a recall for this, although it is obvious that ford has known about it for years. The dealership wants $2295 to repair it.
Vehicle has just over 40,000 miles all highway.vehicle is 4wd.vehicle has never towed, hauled or been off road.took vehicle to ford dealership to have a/c serviced (which was noted having problems during warranty, but techs never found issue nor ran diagnostics) during the diagnostics the service tech stated there was a noise coming from the steering gear.*note the vehicle had been out of owner's possession and at the dealership awaiting a/c service for 4 days.owner stated that there had been no steering issues or warnings displayed in the vehicle and had been operating without any problems.dealership states that when they finished the a/c service that the steering ceased upon backing the vehicle out of the service area.owner asked why the steering gear is not covered under the drive train warranty.the dealership advised that this issue is a common issue that is being encountered with the new ford epas system and is not covered under the drivetrain warranty even though the vehicle's low mileage.owner requesting that ford pay for replacement due to it being commonly defective.vehicle still in dealership's possession.

The steering is now hard. The eps no longer is working. I was driving down the highway and it just became difficult to steer.
As i was leaving the parking lot and pulling into traffic the steering on my truck locked up and became extremely hard to move. Almost simultaneously the truck put a code up that said service power steering. After almost having a head on collision i pulled off to the side of the road shaking in terror as i was trying to figure out what could've possibly went wrong. With a little research i did and found out that there are other people that have had the same issue and the power steering rack and pinion module went out withoutwarning.this is an immediate danger to any person that uses public roadways for themselves in other people they need to get this off the road immediately and recall this part.
Slowed down to make a left turn when power steering quit working.it is gradually getting worse and now it is stopping working at various speeds and turning either right or left.the last event i was making a right turn pulling our of a parking place and the steering wheel snapped back while i was turning it hurting my arm.
Experience intermittent lack of steering wheel returnability to center on left hand turns with small steering wheel angle.
The steering wheel "sticks" or "catches" when traveling on a highway at 45-60 mph and turning left. It has happened several times but only when turning to the left. I have only had this truck 2 weeks (bought it used with 77,000 miles) but it started having this problem after 2 days.
I own a 2011 f-150, 5.0, crew cab, 4x4. I started noticing a popping or clinking noise coming from the steering column. The noise has been getting worst and is very annoying as well. I notice at lower speeds when driving down our gravel road. I typed this issue in as well on the f-150 forum and there are numerous post with same issue! many are saying it has to deal with electric power assist steering. I will be taking it into the dealer, to hopefully get this issue resolved. I just hope that ford will step up and fix this issue.

Ford f 150 2011 steering issue.2011 is the first model year for electric power steering on the f 150.when driving straight, there is looseness in the steering.i am aware that electric power steering is easier to turn.that is not the issue.it feels like looseness in the steering shaft, as a loose joint.when i went to an f 150 online forum and typed in my problem, i found others who were having the same problem.i am very concerned about the safety of the steering.it seems worse with heat.i have been feeling it when i would hit small bumps in a row.yesterday, i felt it on all surfaces.it felt like the steering shaft was going to come apart.i have had it to the dealer and they put it up on the lift and can't find the problem.the steering system itself needs to be taken apart.
Was turning left into walmart when steering went completely out. Very hard to turn, harder to turn than manual steering. Pulled into parking lot turned off vehicle to inspect. When trying to turn after restarting vehicle, vehicle made loud whining sound. Traction control light came on...then steering failure light came on...with in a few minutes whining completelystopped. Lights remain on when running.steering completely out...no power assist what so ever
My truck's steering is "sticking" like the power steering is going in and out.when going around turns my truck often gets stuck in turn position.even when going straight it goes in and out like it sticks.
While making a sharp left turn i heard a loud squeaking sound, and then got the advance trac fault and it reset it self and a few days later got the same sound and fault. About 3 weeks later i heard the same noise and the steering wheel locked and i wasn't able to turn the steering wheel either direction. Had vehicle towed to local ford dealer and was told by service tech that the steering gear needs to be replaced, cost $1,750.
I was making a series of turns in a parking lot looking for a building on a college campus and then without warning i lost power steering.a warning light came on and said that there is a braking assist fault.i finally was able to muscle my truck into a parking space and shut the truck off.when i turned the truck back on my power steering was back.it went on for two days without happening again, until today (7-24-15) it occurred twice in one day.the steering wheel is feeling funny especially when turning left.it feels a little lose when turning left.it feels like it is slipping when turning.

Service advance trac light comes on when reversing with wheel fully turned, slight grinding noise heard. Called dealership and told not a concern -- the new systems "do that".mentioned at next service appointment and told nothing is wrong.noise gets intermittently worse, but dealership is "unable to replicate problem" before the warranty expires in march 2014. In july 2014 (26,000 miles), the sat light comes on whenever the wheel is fully turned in forward, reverse, and park, and a loud grinding metal on metal sound occurs. The dealership could hear it this time and diagnosed steering gear assembly failure. The service representative stated on july 18, 2014 that the service advance trac light indicates this problem and that the vehicle is not safe to drive.this should be a recall before injuries or deaths occur due to steering failure.
Steering sticks when making a turn, must be pulled back to straighten out. While driving
I started getting periodic warning lights to "service advance trac" on my 2011 f150. The warning would go away after restarting the vehicle once or twice. First time i thought it may be an glitch in the computer so didn't worry about it. After second time i took it to the dealer and was told it was a problem with the electronic steering module starting to fail. If it is not replace i could loose steering at any time without warning. I did some internet research and found this is indeed an issue with some fords and people were having the power steering go out while driving. Being this is the primary vehicle used for family transportation i was worried. I called ford as soon as my dealer told me the problem. Unfortunately their customer service dept. Is located in florida and they were closed due to a hurricane. I had no choice but to have the dealer fix the problem and try an deal with ford later. I called ford today and they were unwilling to assist me with this issue, would not send/email me a copy of the case file notes detailing my discussion with the rep and referred me to the dealership service manager since the repairs have already been completed.
Advance trac warning light came on screen as wife and 2 young children were driving under normal conditions at night. Immediately wife lost power steering and could not avoid a mailbox in front of house . Truck immediately shut down upon crashing into mailbox and would not restart. . however lights , cluster in dash and interior lights would not shut off , with key removed from ignition . Wife opened doors . She inserted key into ignition while turning switches and knobs attempting to shut down accessories . Nothing would shut off . Sync system was asking several uninvited questions , while cluster was turning off and on , blinking , flashing random warning lights and indicators . Blinkers would not work . Towed vehicle home . With key not in ignition , same things , lights would not turn off . Removed vehicle ground cable from battery post . Purchased and installed brand new motorcraftbattery and still have same issues . Can not drive truck at this point as this is a safety nightmare waiting to happen to unsuspecting drivers and passengers . There was no previous warning or pre-emptive measures that could have prevented this from occurring . After researching this issue , we know ford is aware of it . We know they will not recall the rack and pinion steering that causes this . Please let me be perfectly clear : we do not care nor want to be part of a class action lawsuit . We are ford lovers and owners since a 1978 pinto . We only want our truck to be fixed at no charge to us . We do not have any interest in exasperating this issue with other owners to further bash the ford brand . We only wish to take it to the dealership and get it fixed with ford at the very least giving us a discount on the labor or parts . If not full reimbursement , half off would ,make me a happy ford owner again and in the future. Covid 19 has left us broke . Ford please help us !!!!!
Steering started sticking when turned all the way to the right and while driving you could feel it come and go! took it to repair shop and had a whole new electric power steering system installed cost a little over 1700$
Vehicle steering it very jerky and locks up, particulary when turning left. Makes vehicle difficult to drive in a straight line without 'wandering" in the lane. Not safe. Started about a year ago, getting progressively worse.
While driving the power steering suddenly quit with no warning.the vehicle was hard to steer.pulled over and shut vehicle completely off.steering worked fine after restarting the vehicle.over the next couple of days while driving the vehicle it would randomly loses power steering with no warning.
My 2011 ford f-150 ecoboost steering is sticking pretty bad when i make a left turn. It varies between a gradual left turn to a sharp 90 degree turn, but i always have to "pull" it back to the right to straighten the vehicle out. It seems very scary when you meet a semi and the steering sticks and i'm afraid of over correcting the vehicle. I had a close call the other morning so i parked it to avoid any future mishaps.
This week i had a total failure of my epas(electric power assisted steering) in a 2011 f150. I'm very thankful that this happened while i was in a parking lot on a military base. I didn't have the slightest clue on what was going on with my vehicle until i had to do a little research and the over following concerns reported about the epas shocked me! being a mother of two little boys i've very great full that this did not happen while i was driving on the highway. Ford needs to address this concern because the outcome could have been very bad for my family.
Over the last week, four times the steering became stiff and while turning the steering wheel, it stayed locked in the same direction and i had to use force to return it to center. On one occasion while driving the truck in a strait line on an empty one-way city street at 35mph, the wheels veered left and right with the steering wheel not moving at all. If i had been driving 70mph i could have been killed. I took it to saginaw valley ford where they found the epas sensor was sending out erratic data. Price to repair is $1617. What i find incredible is this not an unknown problem, and to which we have not received any recalls about. People will die from this defect, remember the ford temple?
Steering sticks and is erratic on the interstate.when turning left the steering sometimes sticks giving the impression the truck is over rotating around corners.changing lanes on the interstate is dangerous as sometimes the steering sticks causing the truck to veer.i thought it was just me until i found tsb 11-08-18.ford has known about this problem for years!i'm not happy and believe this should be a recall.will it take someone getting killed first?steering is pretty important.
The steering wheel sticks when turn it left even slightly left. Sometimes it sticks very tight and becomes difficult to return to center while driving and causes the vehicle to jerk hard. When driving at normal highway speeds the steering wheel will suddenly start pulling left and you have to be quick to correct it or it will toss you in the other lane. It started about 30k miles ago and has become worse and worse as i pass 100k miles.
My steering wheel will stick when turning left. It makes it hard to keep it in one lane.the problem will come and go. The dealership said they did not see any problem. But like i said the problem will come and go. You have to force the steering wheel back to the original position.i can make a video if this will help.

Hello, my 2011 ford f150 xlt truck with approximately 53,500 miles was diagnosed with rack and pinion electric steering failure and had to be replaced.it started with "service advancetrac" error and advanced to "power steering assist fault".it became increasingly hard and dangerous to drive and had to be taken to tire kingdom to be repaired for around $2000.00.the vehicle was in motion when the issues happened and became dangerous when driving on city or highway. I am concerned that a vehicle with a little over 53,000 miles has a dangerous failure like this. I read that 2011 was the first year that ford introduced the electric steering and am surprised that there has not been a recall for this issue.is there any compensation for this?thank you, [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *cc
At 45,000 miles, service advancetrac light would come on when performing tight turns (ex. Parking). After the service light appeared, turn signal wouldn't work or would only work when held down. This issue occurred off and on until vehicle was brought in for service at 50,700 miles. Entire steering rack had to be replaced. Part not covered under warranty, replacement cost was around $1500.

The steering sticks in spots, very jerking when trying to steer. Once when turning to the left, had wheels turned all the way to the left and steering locked up, for a moment i thought i was going to have to have it towed. Again cannot make smooth corrections and slight turns without jerking the truck do to steering malfunction. Very dangerous. And of course the truck is in motion, on city streets, highway, and turning. Below you want a specific date, is does this constantly whenever i drive it.
I have a 2011 f150 truck it's saying power steering assist fault, service advancetrac, when i turn the wheel it makes a loud noice still drivable but dangerous. I have looked everywhere online there is recalls on this exact same thing just not on my vin for this truck but same year an truck has recalls. This is very dangerous an very expensive to fix your self . This is a ford default an they are not wanting to fix i'm willing to go through all levels to see to it they fix it.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph and attempting to turn right, the steering wheel seized. Additionally, the advance trac needed repair message appeared. The contact continued driving to the dealer baxter ford of omaha nebraska that determined there was a short on the electronic power steering and needed replacement. The contact also stated that the same failure occurred approximately five times before. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 96,000. The vin was not available.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving at approximately 20 mph, the steering wheel seized. In addition, the vehicle drifted slightly to the left and the brake pedal was hard when depressed. The vehicle continued to drift and crashed into the front of another vehicle. The contact stated that the "service advancetrac" warning message displayed. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A police report was filed and no injuries were reported. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
I was on a two lane residential road. It had been raining and the street was still damp. The speed limit is 35 mph. I was slowing to make a left turn, when the power steering went completely out. I barely missed hitting 3 telegram poles which are located at the intersection. The power steering assist failure blinked on and off so quickly i am still not sure if i read it correctly. I was also too busy trying to correct the vehicle out of the on-coming traffic. I was turning off the 2 lane road onto a residential street in a residential neighborhood, that normally has cars parked and intermittent vehicular traffic. I was scared to death. I am grateful that i was slowing for the turn and more grateful that there was no on-coming traffic. This happened without any warning and it took me approximately 15-20 minutes to make it home (which is less than a half of a mile). The power steering was completely gone.
Vehicle was designed with steering angle sensor inside the steering gear. Sensor has failed and is not serviceable and will cost $2200 for repair. Since the sensor has failed the entire vehicle stability control system is disabled causing a major safety concern. Ford used this design from 11/03/10 to 01/03/11. This design was replaced with one which places the sensor in the steering column for easy replacement. I have contacted ford for repair assistance and so far all claims have been denied.
Was making a left turngetting on they highway when steering got hard, making it hard to turn almost getting in an accident, traction control light came on but went back off. Engine light came on ,went back off. This has been going on since february, called local ford dealership basically was told no recall, no complaints, but they call look at it at our cost. It's gotten worse,since then going around curves or making turns it takes full strength to make the turn .some times its easy like it should be .brought it to a local mechanic shop to see what they say and after looking at it ,they said it needs,to go to dealership they can'tdo anything with it .this needsto be fixed before someone gets hurt .
Problem started before 100,000 miles.2011 ford f-150 currently has 230,000 miles and the issue is getting more severe.the steering is "sticky", there is resistance when you attempt to turn the steering wheel.letting go of the wheel the vehicle remains in the stuck position and does not automatically return to a neutral steer position.with minor resistance you need to give the wheel a little jerk or two to get the vehicle's wheels to unlock and respond.lately there are increased incidences where the steering wheel severely sticks and needs a strong tug to unlock.the strong tug causes the vehicle to overcompensate when the steering breaks free requiring a second jerk of the wheel to keep control.early in the history of this problem the sticking was worse when turning to the left, but now the issue is most severe when turning right.i'm not sure, but the situation may be exacerbated if breaking while attempting to turn the steering wheel.at worst it's dangerous, at the least it makes for tense driving.the problem comes and goes and seems random.a few days ago, for the first time a "service power steering" warning displayed.at a ford dealer they diagnosed the problem as a "weak" battery.the cca (cold cranking amps) 850 battery was only outputting a cca of 575, volts of 12.41.they replaced the battery, cleared all diagnostic fault codes, and pronounced the problem fixed.soon after leaving the dealership and sticking resumed, nothing sever, but clearly still sticking.later i experienced a sever sticking incident. This is not the first time that i've gone to a dealership for help with this problem.a while ago a ford service rep suggested battery terminal corrosion could cause the problem.the terminals were corroded, i cleaned the negative terminal, replaced the positive and the steering issue noticeably improved but did not terminate.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving 30 mph, the power steering warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle became difficult to maneuver. The contact had to use excessive effort to operate the steering. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 82,000.
Luckily, there was not an incident in my case. I had a rear sliding window switch replaced under warranty. I also had an oil change and my battery terminals cleaned by the dealers service department. When i went to pick up my vehicle and began to drive off, i noticed a warning displaying the message "service advancetrac". I then left the vehicle with the service department again. When the service advisor contacted me to tell me what the technicians diagnosed, he said that the truck needed a new electric steering rack. He also told me that this part is on national backorder. After doing some research, i found that this is a vital part in steering functionality. I also read that if this part fails while you are driving, there is a serious risk of accident. I'm thankful that my truck wasn't moving when this steering rack went bad. But it concerns me that so many ford owners have had this happen to them and that this is not a recall. I also think that if this part is on national backorder, there must be many people who are having this issue as well. I want to do my part to make the public aware that this part also went bad on my vehicle. I want to contribute to the numbers so that this can become a recall if the data shows it's necessary.
While driving to work my steering began to be very hard to steer and a warning appeared on screen to check power steeringthen i lost all power steering and warning in screen went to repair power steering now.i no longer have power steering and have had estimates up to 2200 dollars to repair.
Service traction control lightcoming on hard steeringhave taken to dealership twice for same problem first time they cleard the codes set last time i was told that the angle sensor in the power steerin is bad and that the rack and pinion need replace(epas gear)
I have a 2011 f150 with just under 44k miles. Took the truck in for a set of front brakes and was advised that there was a small leak not exactly sure where it was coming from.within less that a week the engine was not engaging took it back to the dealership they advised that i needed a new transmission as there were no fluids in it. Needless to say i was quite surprised as we had just topped off all the fluids in the past two weeks. Not real sure about this, but i had a new transmission put in picked it up upon leaving the dealership i had another problem the steering seemed a little tight ended up taking i the truck back to the dealership the advised that i replace the electronic power steering assy and program module to vehicle. I wasn't too sure about this so i had the vehicle towed to the dealership that i normally deal with as the current one had terrible customer service and was unwilling to contact ford on my behalf they said it was coincidence that this was happening.i have not had any problems with the truck in the past it has run perfectly.my guy at my dealership took the truck in and had to put in the power steering assy. This all happened within a period of 3 weeks and i had to pay for a rental car.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that extra strength was required to turn the steering wheel. In addition, the steering seized a few times, which caused the contact to pull over. Once the vehicle was turned off and restarted, it operated normally; however, "power steering assist failure" appeared on the instrument panel. The contact scheduled a diagnostic appointment for may 29, 2019 with five star ford richland hills (6618 ne loop 820, north richland hills, tx 76180, (817) 500-0096). The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 71,150. The vin was invalid.
Steering sticks. When driving and changing lanes or turning on sharp curves, it feels as if the power steering briefly goes out. While trying to change lanes at a gas station this past weekend, steering briefly was stuck causing me to almost hit a neighboring vehicle. It appears carcomplaints.com has 320 complaints about the same issue. I did take it to a ford dealership after a previous issue several months ago and they confirmed the issue.
Primarily while turning left power steering goes hard.usually recovers after turning to right.intermittent total power steering failure.as yet, unable to determine reproducible sequence of events to demonstrate issue to dealer.
Two issues here.first issue.when making turns there is a clunk sound from the front of the vehicle after the turn as the steering wheel is returned to forward position.happens intermittent.cannot feel the clunk in the wheel, but the sound is like metal on metal.second issue:rear suspension clunks and squeaks a lot.(like it is 20+ years old.)standing on the bumper or pushing sideways on the fender makes the rear-end squeak.i took it to ford for repair and they stated there was a technote that told them to 'lube' the rear leaf springs.for a few months it made the sound go away, but made the backend feel loose or like it was sliding sideways on corners.at this same visit the engine performance changed noticeably.acceleration was smoother and did not hesitate as much.(they say they did nothing that would cause this change.)i'm not sure i am getting true answers from the service advisor.now six months later all the sounds and clunking sounds are back.i feel like it was not designed safe enough for the load rating they gave it or something.i want to make sure it is safe and not going to just end up physically broken somewhere on the road because they want to lube it every six months.
Power steering intermittently locks up and or doesn't work without any warning signals on the vehicle .the vehicle has 66,000 miles on it andcan't be driven due to the danger associated.
Electronic power steering (epsa) is leaking water and power steering fluid. It's making noises and i am scared to drive it since this is my main transportation for work and family.i've read about this issue and people saying their wheels have locked up and just missed fatal accidents especially doing higher speeds on highway travel. Is it going to take a death before this part is recalled? truck comes to a quick stop like its jumping gears.
I was turning my 2011 f150 around in a lot when a steering error warning poped up on dash along with a stability control error. Steering froze and i did not have steering control. Took all effort to force vehicle to turn and avoid a collision steering was extremely hard to turn with a loud buzzing noise and limited turning range (about 2/3 of normal range left and right. Drove home this way (about 15 miles). Was extremely difficult to control vehicle and very nerve racking. Being a mechanic i scanned codes and it appears that the electronic steering gear failed. This is a very dangerous system i shudder when i think of the consequences had i been driving at highway speed. If there is not a recall for this issue there should be before someone is killed. I included the scanned codes below.
While driving 45mph down a straight road, my dash displayed the following error "power steering fault" and my power steering stopped working. I pulled over and stopped to read the manual. It says if/when this happens turn your vehicle off for 10 seconds and restart. If the error message appears again, take the vehicle to a dealership immediately. My concern is, how can an electronic error appear for "power steering fault" and stop working instantaneously? i have read numerous blogs and comments online how this is very common and peoples stories of wrecks or this happening on the highway while traveling at high speeds! this needs to be addressed immediately! i unplugged my battery for 10 minutes to clear the error from the "trucks computer". The power steering worked again fine for about a day then it did the same thing. This is an electronic error that can kill somebody if it has not already.
Vehicle will lock the steering wheel while driving if rotated to make a hard left turn. Once the steering wheel is locked, it takes a tremendous amount force to unlock the wheel. This manouver will only happen while the vehicle is in motion, posing a serious safety concern for the driver and occupants of the vehicle
Electronic steering assist malfunction/ advanced trac malfunction. Steering is failing, hard to turn. Making noises. Ford did recall these trucks for those reasons but did not include my batch number. My vehicle is exhibiting the same issues as the recall. Mine should have been recalled.

While driving the electronic power steering will suddenly alert and fail and the vehicle is nearly impossible to steer.
While driving epas steering went out while making a right turn causing me to almost strike drivers side of a car.
Electronic power steering assist failure causes the steering to lock. Vehicle is impossible to control without extreme effort. Failure occurs in the middle of a turn. At only 44000 miles. This is a poorly engineered design, not a result of abuse or normal wear and tear.
I have a 2011 ford f-150 4x4 ecoboost and have had one steering rack replaced already.it was replaced due to popping in the steering as well as bump steer and wandering.the initial replacement was 6-1-12 and as of this post (1-26-13) and roughly 12k more miles, it is starting to have the same concerns that required the initial replacement.in addition, the front suspension in general seems loose and the left side squeaks over bumps and seems weaker in the spring than the passenger side.
2011 ford f150 4 wheel drive 5.0 engine.. Started at around 6000 miles i now have only 13000 on this vehicle.. There is a knocking/tapping/rattle in the steering wheel/shaft when going over bumps at any speed. Many folks are complaining about this exact issue on ford truck forums yet ford says this is normal, it cannot be normal if these trucks are fine when they are brand new yet develop this rattle and knocking in the steering wheel after a few thousand miles. My trucks steering feels very sloppy and loose when going straight over bumps and has a rattle/knocking/popping sensation through the steering wheel. It feels as if something is going to fall apart in the steering system. Many owners have had their steering rack assembly replaced by ford with good temporary results only to have the problem return a few hundred to a few thousand miles later, so again it cannot be normal. To note: it is definitely worse when the weather is hot but always there even when cold out. I do not feel confident and secure driving this truck like this. Ford needs to step up and find a fix to this very real driver concern and very possible safety concern. This (2011-2012) is the first year this type of electric power steering assist system has been used in a truckso there are no long term reliability stats. Ford should do the right thing and find a fix now before something very bad starts happening. If this were a rattle in the door or something annoying like that it would not be much of a concern but this is the steering system on a 5000 pound truck. My only hope is that the right agency takes this serious and investigates this very real problem on these 2011-2012 ford f150 trucks.
Steering binds when turning, both when going into a turn and returning to center (straight). Most noticeable on city streets. I must use extra arm strength in both maneuvers. Problem first noticed about 2 years ago. Has gotten progressively worse since. Cold weather (wisconsin) seems to exacerbate the problem.
Full power steering system failure. Zero power assist.
This concerns ford motor company safety recall # 14s09. Ford motor co. Internal letter from [xxx]. Dated june 10, 2014 to dealers. A "do not drive warning."this letter applies to only select 2014 f150 models.my ford f150 fx4; 2011 has an "identical" problem with the same required part number and repair needed. Only instead of being a recall it is classified as a repair at a cost of $1,641.00. I have documentation from a dealer "uftring ford automall" stating the identical problem.dated today november 9, 2015.in ford's letter i referred too, above. It warns dealers that the epas gear motor position sensor magnet may lead to impaired steering, loss of steering control, which could increase the risk of a crash. Why is my vehicle not covered?note: on the internet there are more f150 owners complaining about this problem.a warning pops up on the dash monitor screen. In bold orange letters. "service advance trac."this happens when turning the steering wheel to park at a slow speed. It appears randomly when driving and the turn signal cannot work. Plus the steering wheel can vibrate. If the reset button is depressed the warning on the screen disappears. But you have to shut the vehicle off and restart it to get the turn signal to work again and the vibration to end.the effected part # is: el3z3504be.the same part number and procedure to repair the 2014's.this can happen to 2011 trucks at any mileage and other years. Ford even admits it is a "do not drive situation."i want ford to fix my vehicle at their cost. It is a defect that they admit too.i would upload the ford letter. Also the dealer analysis.i do not know how to upload it. ? it is a pdf file.please reply thank you.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My 2011 ford f-150 (with only 34,000 miles) indicated a power steering fault when i started it.the power steering was locked and took a lot of force to turn the steering wheel.luckily this occurred in the driveway and not on a highway at 70 mph.it could have been a fatal accident at high speeds.i had to have my pickup taken to the local ford dealer where they had to replace the power steering rack for over $2000!!after some investigation, i found that this epas system was new in 2011 and ford has known about this problem for some time, but has not issued a recall.
While steering through a turn at approximately 30 mph, the steering suddenly locked up for 2 seconds and the "service advancetrack" message came on. The message reset itself and did not appear again for 2 days, when the steering locked again. This repeated until the truck was taken to the dealership. The steering rack was replaced by the dealership in march of 2015. It is now march of 2016 and the steering is starting to lock up again, this time at low speeds while parking. The truck will be going back to the dealer for more service.

Consumer stated the electric power steering system lost power. *lnthe consumer stated while driving, a block of ice fell off a truck that was ahead of him, and evasive action was not possible due to the ice and traffic volume. The ice stuck the alternator which was positioned 10 inches off the ground on the lower left front of the vehicle. Then vehicle then began to lose electrical power . Eventually, the vehicle lost electrical power steering. He was able to pull hard on the steering wheel and was able to steer a slight curve.

My wife went to get into the truck and her foot slipped off the running board causing her to fall. She had to be under a doctors care for a knee injury for 60 days. I have slipped off these same running boards three times myself. Ford motor needs to do something about this. I have contacted both ford motor and my sealing dealer about this with no results.
Well i have an issue with my trucks i have purchased from ford.well in august of 2011 i purchased the new f150 with ecoboost.the truck drove like a dream for a while then i started having issue, with the transmission, then engine losing power.this happen about 4 time during the life of the truck.the last time was in january 2013, it was the last straw for me.the reprogrammed the trans/computer and put a wind deflector in the front of the intercool.still lost power on a road trip on the way back home from s carolina.mind you the truck was in the shop for tran/engine/the right fender had to be adjusted it was misaligned, the bed of the truck same thing.this lost of power almost caused me to have a accident because i was merging onto the highway.i also had to sunroof replaced as it was vibrating the whole truck when moving.the driver seat track was replaced and the sliding glass window in the back was replaced too.the defrost stopped then the window stopped sliding.i stopped driving the truck so i could get rid of it i have a 2013 limited and have some of the same issue.now that i have a new 2013 vehicle i experience some of the same issue.
Water from the cac was ingested into the engine causing a misfire.this is the 8th time it has happened to me. I have had all tsb's completed by ford and the issue still persists. The ecoboost engines are unsafe. This loss of power while merging has causes me to narrowly escape accidents 2 out of the 8 incidents. I noticed that the nhtsa closed an investigation into the ecoboost issues earlier this year. I'm suggesting that the nhtsa re-open that investigation. The tsb's are not fixing these issues and it is only a matter if time before someone is seriously injured. Please contact me with any questions.

At my house, the driveway is sloped.i had just parked the truck, turned the engine off, but left key in accessory position.my two daughters were in back seat (3 and 8 years old) watching a movie.i walked into my garage to drop off coffee, went back to the truck to retrieve pastries and then walked them into garage.i was out of the truck for 3-4 minutes.i went back to truck and took my three year old out of her car seat.she sits in rear seat, passenger side.i had her in my arms when i opened passenger side front door, reached across to remove keys. When i removed the keys from the ignition the truck began rolling down the driveway.my 8 year old was 1/2 out of the truck when it began to roll.i quickly put my 3 year old down and grabbed the 8 year old out of the truck.the truck was making a metal clicking sound the entire time it was rolling.truck rolled down the driveway, across the street and into the neighbors yard.their tree stopped the truck from rolling further into the yard and their house.the truck was still in park when i went inside to start it back up to move it back into the driveway.i drove it theford dealer about an hour later.ford dealer and fomoco were involved for several months.eventually a 'specialist' was flown in to look at truck.in the end, they claim there are no mechanical defaults and therefore, they are not responsible.they are unable to answer any questions as to how the truck did not move for the 3-4 minutes it was on the driveway when i was back and forth to the garage.they also have no explanation for how the truck rolled even though it was still in park when this happened.end results is ford claims they never repaired or modified my truck.i have no way to prove they did or did not repair anything during the periods of time they had my truck in their possession.
We were driving down the highway at 10:30pm going 55mph.all of a sudden, we heard a very loud bang that almost caused me to run off the road, thankfully i didn't. I pulled over to investigate and there was nothing wrong until i looked at the back glass. The back glass on the passenger side was completely shattered. Out of no where. Mind you, there was nothing wrong with this prior. I haven't even had this truck for thirty days yet and this happened. I was especially worried because my 4year old daughter was in the back seat, on the passenger side. She could have been seriously injured due to this.
Vehicle has a moderate water leak from the rear window.
Rear window shattered as a result of using the rear window defrost. Vehicle was stationary.
I started my vehicle on the morning of feb 8th,and turned on the rear defroster. Within 1-2 minutes i heard a pop noise and found the glass panel behind the drivers side (one of 3 glass panels) had shattered.no outside impact,it just shattered.i see doing an on-line search there are similar complaints of this problem. I contacted ford motor company and was told seeing as i was out of basic warranty,they would not be able to assist me with the cost of repairs. $625.00 + tax.
Driving down the road at 35 miles per hour, my right rear black glass shattered from the inside.my son was sitting in the back seat and thankfully he was on the opposite side.it sounded like a shot gun hit the truck.it was so loud, we pulled over and was checking each other to make sure we didn't get hit by a bullet.we soon learned it was the window that shattered for no reason.i bought this truck brand new and i keep it in great shape and spotless so it was nothing that i did wrong. I called the dealer and was told by the service manager that there was nothing he could do and i was out of warranty so this is not covered.it should be a recall because it could have caused serious injury to someone in the back seat since glass particles were falling out of the glass.the part is $667.00 and it has to be replaced out of my pocket. I am very upset after reading the internet of how many people this has happened to with their ford trucks.

Remote started the vehicle this morning with climate control switch in auto. Truck ran for 10 minutes. Entered my truck to look in the rear view mirror to see that the driver side rear windshield had been spider webbed. No indications of rocks or any other materials/debris present to have caused the cracking. Ford fix your problems.
Rear door ajar. Sensor shows driver side rear door as opened, when it has been in fact closed, closed and locked, both with and without child lock engaged.
My rear bumper is rusting away around the back up sensors. I mentioned it to the ford dealership where i take my vehicle for everything since it was purchased and they said they can not do anything. According to the rust warranty on my vehicle there literally has to be a hole rusted thru the vehicle for the warranty to kick in. This is ridiculous i purchased the vehicle in nov 2011 after returning from iraq and wanting a tough no nonsense vehicle. I have only had the vehicle 3.5 years and the bumper is rusting out. I could see if it was the front bumper that gets hit with rocks and debris from highways and a small nick can turn into damage. But this is the rear bumper and im going to have to replace it. Ford rust warranty what a joke.
2011 f-150 continues to leak from rear headliner.vehicle was brought into ford in 2013 and 2014 for leaks.ford claimed the leak was coming from the third brake lamp on cab.vehicle continues to leak causing moldy smelling inside also making visual obstruction inside of vehicle due to moisture build up.
Water in passenger side floor board, air conditioner is draining inside the cab. The drain is not plugged.
While traveling the vehicle unexpectedly puts itself into park.the vehicle then locks up the breaks and skids across the road.after skidding the vehicle's throttle does not work and the vehicle is inoperable. This has happened for approximately two (2) years.it has happened while driving at high speed (70 mph) on a limited access highway facility.it has occurred at stop lights.in one instance while at a stop light the vehicle ceased to operate and was struck by another vehicle.last week was notified by the vehicle manufacturer that they were conducting a recall for the exact reason that has caused me problems for the past two years.the malfunction has caused mechanical damages to the vehicle's suspension, steering, tires, and acceleration.the vehicle vibrates uncontrollably at any speed over 35 mph.there are also rattling inside and outside of the vehicle.
The rear window shattered on the passenger side of our vehicle. I cannot see out of it. The vehicle was stationary. We did not see anything happen to it (person) via our security cameras. I am worried it will shatter. This seems to be a common problem as i have conducted research on the internet.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while cleaning the vehicle she became aware of cracks on the front frame. The vehicle was not inspected or diagnosed. A dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 71,414.
Pressed rear defrost button.it flickered a few times than bam! the rear window on the passenger side exploded.vehicle was parked in front of my house.looked online and found that many other owners experienced the same problem with their ford pickup trucks, model years 2010 - 2013.
When the 2 rear doors are locked, it is haphazard when they will unlock or open, either manually or from the inside.when i have children in car seats in the rear seats and i am unable to open either door it can be a matter of life or death in cases of emergencies.not everyone is able to crawl from the front seat to the rear seats to get babies out of their car seats.the doors will not unlock with the front door panel controls or the remote key.it does not matter if stationary or in motion, the doors still will not unlock .the date of 5/01/2019 is an approximate date, as this has been an off & on again problem.now that i have babies to transport, it needs to be addressed.
I turned on the rear defrost on my 2011 ford f-150 with 45,000 miles on it and the r/h side of the sliding rear window shattered.it is still in one piece but there are small glass fragments of glass all over the back seat. I am sure glad my girlfriends grandson was not put in his carseat before this happened.i stopped at the local ford dealer they took pictures and submitted it off to ford.i get a response from them on the same day that ford will only cover 50% of replacement cost.i see they already have 2 service bulletins on this back window andsince they are offering and covering 50% they seem to be admitting their is a problem.it is all over the internet that this is happening from the 2010's all the way up to 2014 f-150s.its a problem and ford is not doing to much about it.seems to me it this should go back to who ever manufactured the glass.other then what ford says this is a safety issue because some of these back windows are blowing right into the inside of the vehicle.recall or not this needs to be addressed.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the driver and passenger doors failed and the mechanical system would not allow the door to remain open. The doors would normally close independently and when the vehicle was on a flat surface or an incline. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for inspection or repairs. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 2 and the current mileage was 12,000.
The back window of my f150 shattered for no apparent reason. The truck is kept in storage because it's used only to pull a camper on a few occassions during the year. On january 25, 2018 i went into the bed of the f150 to install a new break light into the dome of the bed. Once the light was installed, i opened the door of the f150 to test the light and i manually with my hand, pressed down gently on the brake. The break light went on and i re-attached the lighting unit to the truck. About 1 minute after that a loud boom was heard and i saw that the rear window that divides the cab seat and the bed, on the passanger side was not only shattered, but the middle had broken apart and there was glass not only in the bed of the truck, but also the back seat of the truck was covered in glass. The truck was in a garage where it had been stored for weeks earlier. At no time was the motor ever started nor were the keys inserted into the ignition. The defrost unit was not on. It appears that something electrical in the ford truck has caused this.
Takata recalli have a 2011 f-150 fx4. Noticed the rear defrost wasn't coming on all the time, but it did come on and it must of gotten to hot...driving to work 11/24/15 getting on the freeway i heard a loud noise like something hit my truck on the roof. When i got to work...i looked on the roof...no damage. I noticed later that day that the back passenger side window had shattered...it must of gotten to hot from the defroster.looking on the internet...there are very many complaints about this problem.
Leak developed behind the a/c compressor through the firewall causing a buildup of water under the floorboard on the passenger side and destroying the rugs. Leak had to be fixed and rugs all replaced due to mold andrew mildew. Happened over a period of time when the a/c was running.
2011 ford f-150 supercrew xlt 4x2.in the last year i had the spring mechanism that secures the fuel door break and no longer provides a secure seal.i have noticed that a number of other ford f-150's around the same model years exhibit a similar issue and i would have thought we would have seen a recall with the number of issues in this category
While driving down the road at highway speeds the passenger front door will randomly unlatch.at this point the door will not latch until you get out and manually move the latching mechanism.
My left panel of the rear window is shattered after turning the rear defrost on. Called ford, they will not replace.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving at any speed, the seat belt indicator illuminated and remained activated. The vehicle was taken to finnin ford (3600 dubuque st, dubuque, ia 52003, 563-556-1010) where it was diagnosed that the rcm needed to be replaced. The technician stated that there was no recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000. The consumer stated 7 wires were burnt through in the wiring harness.
I have a 2011 ford f-150 4x4 ecoboost and have had one steering rack replaced already.it was replaced due to popping in the steering as well as bump steer and wandering.the initial replacement was 6-1-12 and as of this post (1-26-13) and roughly 12k more miles, it is starting to have the same concerns that required the initial replacement.in addition, the front suspension in general seems loose and the left side squeaks over bumps and seems weaker in the spring than the passenger side.
I have taken my truck in several times for transmission problems and ford refuses to do anything about it.i can be at a total stop with my foot on the brake and the noise it is almost as if somebody has ran into me.rear axle and drive train are also making noises.i have attached a document that i have received from rod baker ford for how many times the truck was brought in.
Ever since the day i purchased my 2011 ford f-150 it has had an extremely irritating as well as distracting vibration at highway speeds. Vibration is most noticeable in both driver and passenger seats as well as the floor. Have put 30k miles on it, tried new tires, numerous tire rotation/balances, even replaced rotors. No matter what i do the trucks shakes/vibrates at highway speeds. Please help!!

While driving the front drivers side was making loud thud noise when turning or when you hit a small bump when turning. Under further inspection,the drivers side strut spring is broken.
Both of the coils in the front strut suspension are broken. Repair shop says f-150's are notorious for this.
Poor gas mileage. Window sticker says 23 mpg highway, best i ever got is 16 mpg,with cruise set at 65 mph on flat level highway.had at dealer, 4 times, they updated computer, changed turbo intercooler and they still cant improve my fuel economy. Around town i get 12 mpg. Bad turbo lag when pulling out low power, dealer said its how turbos work. Doors rattle, speakers crackle, rear end springs make a creaking sound. 4 wheel drivemakes a loud growling, sounds like gears are not meshed right. I would not recommenda new f-150 to any one.nothing but trips to the dealer and let downs.
Power steering keeps popping when turning and locks up
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving various speeds and slowing down, the rear of the vehicle jerked without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed, but not repaired. The results of the diagnostic were unknown. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 130,000.
Front left coil spring broken & collapsed.
Two issues here.first issue.when making turns there is a clunk sound from the front of the vehicle after the turn as the steering wheel is returned to forward position.happens intermittent.cannot feel the clunk in the wheel, but the sound is like metal on metal.second issue:rear suspension clunks and squeaks a lot.(like it is 20+ years old.)standing on the bumper or pushing sideways on the fender makes the rear-end squeak.i took it to ford for repair and they stated there was a technote that told them to 'lube' the rear leaf springs.for a few months it made the sound go away, but made the backend feel loose or like it was sliding sideways on corners.at this same visit the engine performance changed noticeably.acceleration was smoother and did not hesitate as much.(they say they did nothing that would cause this change.)i'm not sure i am getting true answers from the service advisor.now six months later all the sounds and clunking sounds are back.i feel like it was not designed safe enough for the load rating they gave it or something.i want to make sure it is safe and not going to just end up physically broken somewhere on the road because they want to lube it every six months.
I have a 2007 ford f150. All of the tire valve stems are cracked. I had one replaced and a couple of weeks later another tire went flat. An inspection of the remaining tires showed that they are all bad.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 55 mph around a curved road, the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver. The vehicle started to jerk and the power steering assist and advance traction system warning indicators illuminated. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and was able to drive home despite the difficulty steering. The contact called preaus ford motor (206 s main st, farmerville, la 71241, phone number: (318) 368-3805) and was informed to bring the vehicle in for a diagnostic test at the contact's expense. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer due to the diagnostic and repair fees. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 146,540.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving and attempting to make a u- turn, the anti-traction warning indicator illuminated. The contact also stated that the turn signal failed to illuminate. The vehicle was taken to higley ford sales company (1065 3rd ave, windom, mn 56101, (507) 831-3131). The contact was informed that there were no recalls pertaining to the vin and the failures could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 143,000.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving and making a right turn, the vehicle loss power steering assist when the brake pedal was depressed. Additionally, the service advance trac message displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 61,538. Consumer has stated steering system failure has occurred multiple times
During routine road driving, the service advance-trac light came on the dash. This was at 7490 miles. The truck was taken to be serviced. The rcm was replaced. At 9130 miles the service advance trac warning light again came on. The truck was taken to be serviced and the abs module was updated. The truck is currently at the dealer for the same warning light. It has been there for a week. The mileage was about 9400 miles on the third trip for the same problem. I drive snowy and icy roads in the winter and feel that the disabling of my advance trac system compromises my safety on slippery roads.
Towing a 9500# fifth wheel trailer on interstate complete loss of power shuddering and inability to accelerate.
Intermittent no-start.all electrics work, but engine will not engage/crank."cannot detect intel-key" message on dash board read-out.
Truck locked up on me on the highway doing 70+ mph & caused me to spin out & wreck. It's a recall for that issue that ford will not fix for me because of mileage. Terrible customer service & endangered my life & others that day for a issue that they're responsible for.
Drivers side rear view mirror vibrates excessively when radio is loud or when driving at highway speeds.makes headlights appear blurry or flashing like emergency vehicle at night.dealer said ford would not pay for new mirror assembly.have had them look into it twice.upgrading the complaint to the next level with ford.

While driving down the road i heard a loud "pop" and found that my passenger side rear section of the back window shattered.i had to replace the whole back window as a unit and it cost $776.it appears the back defrost shorted out and broke the glass.ford denies any culpability.
Rear window passenger sideshattered spontaneously while vehicle was parked
On repeat occasions my truck speedometer will stop working, my odometer will read zero and my vehicle will not allow me to increase speed despite stepping on the gas. In order to resolve the issue i have had to turn the truck off and on again.
Warped exhaust manifold. Truck was making a high pitched noise on acceleration.
I was driving my 2011 ford f150 platinum on a dark chilly morning, the windows and outside mirrors were fogged so i had the rear defroster turned on. I heard a loud noise that i thought was a gunshot. I later noticed that the right side of the rear window was completely shattered. This glass was in place but cracked into thousands of pieces. I called ford and they said that they had no information on this problem, the vehicle was out of warranty at 75000 miles so they would offer no assistance. I see that there are numerous other complaints for the exact same issue. This is obviously an manufacturing defect and should be corrected before this causes a serious incident.
After i started my parked truck very early this morning around 6:20 am when it was still dark and very cold, i turned on the rear defroster, at which time i heard a loud pop but could not figure out where the sound came from. It was not until later in the day that i noticed that my rear right window was completely shattered. After i looked online, i realized that this was a persistent and common problem with this truck (ford f150). I called the dealership and they said that asthere was no recall on this problem, there was nothing they could do but i could get it replaced for around $700.00. Why doesn't ford fix this issue if so many trucks owners are suffering.
My truck vibrates when driving. I've checked the fuel injectors, coil packs, gotten a tune up and it still does the same. I've had several mechanics (certified) pull codes and it keeps saying it is the coil packs (which ive replaced, no change). I was also told the truck had a short and for would have to take engine apart. Still don't know what the problem is!
We had a march snow storm on 3-18-19 and temperatures were below freezing. I had turned on my rear window defrost and was on my way to work driving on a neighborhood street when i heard a loud pop sound. I pulled over to the side of the road and found that one of my rear windows had shattered. This is a window with the defrosting element in it. After inspecting the window i found that there was no sign of any impact to the window. As shown in the attached pictures. The window just shattered on its own. Was appears that this was caused by thermal expansion from the heated defroster.
Engine failure on hard acceleration.truck did not maintain speed and recover.i had to take foot off of gas pedal for engine to recover. This occurred in florida under passing conditions. Is nhtsa waiting for deaths or would another report from ford that it's not a problem would do?
Door latch will not latch. Door swung open while driving.
When i turned on my rear defroster this morning while it was parked, i heard a loud pop and was not aware of what had happened until later when i sawthat my rear windshield's right side glass had completely shattered. After looking online,i learned that this has happened to many ford f150 owners, i called my local dealership and they said that since there is no recall on this problem, there is nothing they could do and that they would charge me almost $680 to replace the window.
Brakes subbend faled no warning.there was a recall for vacuum pump in break vacum system took it to ford dealer they said it was on back order and would call when came in in june. When it acts up you have to stand on penal to stop.was on vacation the breaks total gave out with no warning. I was forced to pay to have fixed.
I have taken my truck in several times for transmission problems and ford refuses to do anything about it.i can be at a total stop with my foot on the brake and the noise it is almost as if somebody has ran into me.rear axle and drive train are also making noises.i have attached a document that i have received from rod baker ford for how many times the truck was brought in.
Downshifting and stuck in 1st gear . Car in motion!!!!!
As experienced by many others, one of the fixed rear windows shattered while driving about 35 mph in a straight line on a maryland state roadway that was in good condition.a very loud pop/crash alerted me to the damage.i could not identify any physical impact that caused the glass to shatter.this occurred on 4 mar 2019.
We were driving down the highway at 10:30pm going 55mph.all of a sudden, we heard a very loud bang that almost caused me to run off the road, thankfully i didn't. I pulled over to investigate and there was nothing wrong until i looked at the back glass. The back glass on the passenger side was completely shattered. Out of no where. Mind you, there was nothing wrong with this prior. I haven't even had this truck for thirty days yet and this happened. I was especially worried because my 4year old daughter was in the back seat, on the passenger side. She could have been seriously injured due to this.
Driving straight on highway with no other vehicles around, back glass spontaneously shattered with no warning and nothing touching it.suspect an already faulty rear window defroster heating element on power sliding rear pick-up truck window is at partial fault.smelled of burning electrical in cabin just prior to breakage.poor window quality and heating element at further fault.also feel like i had tiny glass particles all over me as well.
While driving at 55 mph on a two lane black top road the rear passenger side window of my truck suddenly shattered. I had been driving for approximately 15 minutes when i activated the rear window defroster to clear the remaining layer of frost off of the driver side outside mirror. It was shortly after activating the rear defroster that i heard a loud bang and after looking around the interior of the truck realized that the passenger side pane of glass in my 3 piece sliding rear window had shattered. When i checked the window there was no obvious scuffs or holes indicating that something had struck the window. Additionally there is a bed cover over the bed area which would rule out something flying up out of the bed and striking the window. Additional data:* outside temp approximately 36 degrees f* rear window clear of frost defroster activated to clear driver side mirror* road surface smooth and speed 55 mph and traveling straight.* window did not fall from frame and shows a pronounce outward bow.
Front door speakers stop or intermittently work.sometimes if you hit it it will start to work again. Had the one on right replaced and now the one on left has started to acting up. Could be a safety hazard if you try to reach down and hit it while driving.
On monday january 6th i started my vehicle and let it warm up then when i tried to put my truck into reverse and when i put the shift lever in reverse the electronic transmission prndl display did not indicate the letter r for reverseand thebackup lamps did not operate. After that i tried each gear and none of them were working so i put it into park and then back into drive it slammed into gear and then i was able to drive. The day before i got into my vehicle after it warmed up then put it into perverse and it did not go into reverse at all or drive.as a result i took it to midas in my town and they told me that there was a safety recall on my vehicle due to the codes and behavior so they advised me to take it to ford dealership for it to be fixed for free. I did so and i asked about a recall and they reported to me that there is no recall and they want me to pay full charges this is a safety concern that can be taken care of by the dealership and i am missing work and out of the vehicle due to this delay and i'm still making payments on my vehicle that is not safe to drive.
Rolling backwards from park in reverse the brakes abs started pushing back on the brake pedal and allowed the vehicle to continue to drive in reverse.
Radio with sync, drops audio on left channel.ford dealer could not duplicate but changed left front speaker.started doing it again and this time i replaced all four speakers with higher grade triaxles.still intermittently drops left channel.this happens on radio, sirius and sync, both services and phone.
When pulling out of a parking lot the instrument cluster lcd goes black, assisted power steering stops working making it hard to steer. Then after a few seconds comes back on and steering rapidly corrects to current position. So far has mostly happened during the first few minutes after running. So far this has only happened once while driving on the highway during a straight stretch.
While taking my son to school, we were startled by a very loud noise like a gunshot or golf ball hitting what i thought was the roof of the car.the rear window shattered.we stopped and inspected the vehicle, no debris around the vehicle was found and no holes in the window that caused our back rear window to shatter.rear defrost was in use at the time.there are numerous complaints of this happening on the web for this vehicle
While traveling a long duration at a consistent mph, low rpm, and low turbo boost pressure i began to climb a hill where more acceleration was needed to maintain mph. At time the vehicle rapidly slowed, engine light cam on, tried to add throttle to stay out of the way of approaching traffic but just continued to slow. This happened while traveling from las vegas nevada to reno nevada. I replaced the ignition coils and that solved the problem only to have it happen again in less than 5k miles in the same driving conditions
The advancetrac system pops up and will either slow the truck down or shut it right off.. I had a mechanic look at it and it still continued to do it...i have to shut it all down and try to restart itwill sometimes drive for a short time or go for days. This has been going on for over a year where it will also go months without happening.
Sudden and random downshifting. While in drive, the transmission will suddenly downshift into a lower gear, completely at random. This causes a major lurch and "jump" in the transmission and speed decreases greatly. Happens at high and low speeds. Does not seem to be induced by "hard" driving or gentle driving. Cannot force it to occur. Have not taken it into dealer to be checked as no codes (engine light or gear) appears. This is a known recall issue for other f150's but my truck isn't covered, but is definitely having the same issues.
I started my truck for work and turn on rear defroster and the rear windowshattered on the drivers side also two weeks ago my tire almost fell off after 3 lug nuts broke m and 1 was missing
I was driving on the highway i 95 and it was raining.my windows started to fog up.i turned on the defrosts.i heard a loud pop and my rear window shattered.in researching the problem on the internet, it appears it is a common problem on 10-14 f150's when turning on the rear defrost.
In may 2015 my 2011 ford f150 3.5l ecoboost began making a buzzing noise in the front left fender well under the hood. From that time forward the truck makes the noise upon start-up. Once the vehicle runs for a while the noise seems to fade away but returns upon restart. A technician tried to diagnose the noise at a local repair shop but to no avail. The noise has gotten worse which prompted me to take the truck back to the repair shop to diagnose again. This time i did some research on the matter and noticed that there was some concern about the vacuum pump in some of these model trucks. Upon picking up my truck the technician informed me that he thought it was the vacuum pump and that i should take my truck to the dealership to have them diagnose the problem and that the part is only available through ford at this time. I made and appointment with the ford dealership with the service manager about the noise. He was familiar with the problem and said that 9/10 times the vacuum pump is the problem. He explained that ford had switched vendors for the part and redesigned the pump in newer models and issued a (tsb) regarding the pump. Since my truck was just outside the warranty period he said i would have to pay for the repair, which was quoted at more than $900. The service manager told me that the part was on back order until mid august 2015 and that i should schedule to have the repair completed then. I asked if there was a safety hazard associated with continued driving and he said, "no, the only thing that could happen is you could lose your brakes or possibly 4 wheel drive, but you'll notice that the brakes are heavy if its going out completely." i feel that ford should be responsible to replace the defective part that they acknowledge as a problem and have redesigned, and which can cause brake or 4 wheel drive failure putting myself and my passengers at risk.
My wife and i were driving down the street in april and turned on the rear defrost and heat because it was chilly outside. Within minutes, the rear passenger window shattered outward, startling us and almost causing us to have an accident. We feel ford should recall all 2011 f-150s to replace the rear defrost, which is obviously defective, and replace every rear window that shattered because of this defect.
Loss of all power during acceleration and excessive shuttering causing dangerous conditions when passing or hauling uphill
Turned on the remote start which apparently has a factory setting that the rear defrost automatically comes on. Come out to the vehicle and the passenger side rear slider is shattered.
Ecoboost continues to stall under acceleration.fix agreed by nhtsa does not work.i recently had this checked.
Was in parking lot and started vehicle.put in drive and started to move. Heard loud pop sound.stopped and got out to look over vehicle.found the passenger side rear window had spontaneously shattered.there was no previous defect in the window.the rear window is a three part slider with defrost.ford service does not know why the window would have shattered and will not cover cost of replacement.at this time the window has not yet been repaired.understand ford has issues with this happening and will not cover under a possible recall.it may have been caused by the defrost system in window.
While in a parking lot i started the engine and put it in gear with my foot on the brake.after a moment or 2 the rpm came up and the tires were squealing.i then shifted to neutral and the rpm slowed.i then shifted to drive and drove to an exit. While waiting for a break in traffic with my foot on the brake the same thing happened.the rpm came up and the rear tires were trying to spin.i shifted to neutral until i could move, and shifted to drive and joined the traffic.there was no problems with speed control while driving in traffic.
I am an owner of a ford f-150 platinum. The vin is (xxxxx). I received a notice of a recall with fix for my pickup last year. I took my pickup with the notice that i had received in the mail to our local ford dealership, baugh ford in clanton, alabama. I had an appointment with the local dealership on or around september 5, 2018 to resolve this issue. Prior to this repair, i had not noticed or experienced any problems with the transmission. However, following the repair, i noticed the transmission slipping or for lack of a better term forgetting what gear it was in. This seemed to happen while traveling slowly as in a parking lot, then letting off of the accelerator. As soon as the accelerator was depressed there was a brief pause followed by a loud metal to metal pop and jolt as if someone had hit the rear of the vehicle. This occurred infrequently and i could not make this happen, not reproduceable. This occurred approximately six times since september last. On june 15, 2019, while traveling on interstate i-65 north just north of montgomery, alabama at highway speed, i noticed the transmission seemed to momentarily slip or go into neutral. The gear selector was still in drive position and remained in that position through out this incident. Then it seemed as if the transmission started shifting gears. At some point the rear tires locked and the vehicle veered to the right and i and the truck abruptly left the interstate. I went down a steep embankment. I finally managed to stop my vehicle, without hitting any other vehicle or highway signage, near a secondary road. I then moved the gear selector from drive into the park position and then back to the drive position and drove a short distance to a safer location. I exited my vehicle and walked around and looked underneath the vehicle. Additionally, there no warning lights, no error/malfunction codes.parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
I was sitting in a fast food line waiting to place order. The truck was running and my right foot was on the brake. (i am a one foot driver.)the truck began to inch forward. I pressed on the brake and the engine began to accelerate. I pressed hard on the brake and the rear wheels began to spin. I slammed the gear shift into park and cut the engine off. I re-started the engine and was able to pull the truck out of the line. After re-starting the engine a couple more times i was able to drive the truck home. This occurred on october 14, 2016. I parked the truck and called my local ford dealer. He said i needed to bring it in.i needed to move the truck in the mean time and it did it again. The truck accelerated with my foot on the brake. The ford dealership couldn't get the truck to repeat the problem. They talked to the ford regional manager and i was to bring the truck back when they had a service rep available to fully check it out. I chose to leave the truck at the dealership rather than risk driving it. The dealership kept the vehicle for almost two weeks, said they drove it 273 miles and couldn't get the problem to repeat. And if they couldn't get it to repeat the problem they couldn't help. The ford regional manager said the same thing. I have a lot more notes but they pretty much say the same thing. Can you help me? i am concerned about driving the vehicle without it being repaired. Isn't there a class action lawsuit about ford trucks doing the same or a similar thing?please let me know.
On 2 occasions (in the last 2 weeks) while driving my ford 150 (2011) (on the freeway about 50mph) i suddenly felt like i was rear-ended and my head went backwards on the head rest.i looked in the rear view mirror expecting to see a vehicle who had hit me, but there was none.on oct 3, 2019, the same thing happened (was driving about 30mph) and i once again looked in the rear view mirror to see if there was a car that hit me, there wasn't.also after the 2nd incident the wrench warning light came on briefly, went off, and the speedometer went to zero, even though i was probably driving 30 miles an hour.i pulled the truck over, turned off the engine and when i restarted it, the speedometer worked again.i honestly feel this is a recall issue that may be related to the power train (that is what the wrench warning light indicates).both of these incidents were very frightening because i thought i had been hit from behind, but that was not the case, rather there was some sort of mechanical failure in this vehicle.i called usaa to file a claim, but they said mechanical failure is not covered.on oct 4th i took the truck to bickford ford (in snohomish, wa, where i bought it) and left it there.the shop said they might not be able to fix it for 3 weeks because they're very backed up.i will need to purchase a rental car.i went online to search for ford 150 (2011) issues and there was a complaint dated june 15, 2011 that describes the exact same thing that i experienced ("feeling like you're hit from behind causing you to slam your head and body on the seat").please please look into this, in my heart i know this must be a recall issue!
Ford f150 transmission recall, our vehicle will not go into reverse, we researched and found that there is a recall for the condition but our vin# and vehicle are not included although our vehicle is doing the exact same thing of the other vehicles included in the recall.you get into the vehicle to leave and put the vehicle in reverse and it will not go, if you continue to try it will finally go into reverse but will not display on the dash and has no back up lights.
I own a 2011 ford f150. Driving home from work last week in the dark i just got onto the highway andi heard what sounded like something hit the bottom of the truck or a gun was shot.didn't know what happened, i then noticed the rear defroster light was not on i went to turn it on and it did not go on that is when i looked at my back window and noticed it was shattered on the passengers side.when i got home i went on the internet and saw that this was happening a lot so i contacted ford about the window and they said that they checked there resources and verified that my vehicle is not involved in any recalls or customer satisfaction programs at this time and it must be inspected by a ford dealership to determine the cause of any symptoms my vehicle may be experiencing.went to ford dealer they said that i should just go to a glass specialist to have it fixed.so i took it to a glass specialist and they said they have replaced at least 14 rear windows on ford trucks because of this problem in the past couple months, i should call ford and complain and hang on to my receipt.
The passenger a/c will not switch to cool.it is intermittent problem.i feel it is manufacturing defect and should be a recall.i known several other owners that have same problem.
Rear glass shattered due to rear defrost shorting out. Started truck after some freezing rain and turned on the rear defrost. Started to go down the road and about 10 mins later on the highway i hear what sounded like a shot gun blast. The glass had shattered but was still in place. I taped it up. I do not have the money to replace this. This is a design flaw that could cause a serious accident.
Driving on highway trucks rear tires locked up truck downshifted to 1st gear i see there is a recall my truck is not included in recall what can i do .

Regarding safety recall notice19s07, i called the dealership and they told me that they do not have the software to fix this until sometime in may, to call back at the beginning of may. How can i make ford resposible if something happens to me in the meantime? thanks!
After auto starting my truck on the morning of december 14 2016. Upon departing my house, i heard a loud popping noise. However i was not able to verify where it came from until i arrived at my destination. I noticed a pattern on my sliding rear window on the drivers side. Upon further investigation i discovered the window was shattered all though it was still in one piece. While researching methods of repair i discovered that this has happened over 70 times.in previous complaints it has been said that this could possibly be attributed to faulty construction or an electrical system failure that could cause a fire. I feel this is a driving hazard for both driver and occupants due to the possibility of minute glass fragments getting in eyes and causing injury and possibly a fatal accident. Therefore i feel that an immediate recall is necessary. People have lodged complaints since 2010 until present. Injury would occur if the window was to blow outcausing injury or accident to other vehicles or persons following mine or others vehicles (motorcyclist).
2011 ford f150, vehicle was stationary, passenger side back window shattered
Vehicle was suddenly and abruptly slowing down, sometimes while on the highway. I took vehicle to repair shop, was told the transmission output sensor needed to be replaced, the part was on national back order due to a recall. According to my vin, my vehicle is not affected by recall, however i have the same make and model with the same issues. The truck has not been driveable for over 3 months and i cannot get it fixed.
Driving home i started to hear and feel this noise on my engine like a clicking/grounting sound. I could hear it more when making turnes and when slowing down. Next day i got on my truck and when in reverse my truck would't let me because it looks likethe front tires are locked. And can only go forward. The transmission does not go in reverse, transmission shift lever sequence starter interlock, and transmission braking effect. Transmission range sensor (trs) that was calibrated out of specification for reverse gear.

I purchased the vehicle on 07/30/19. On or around 08/01/19 the vehicle was jerking and the check engine light came on, so inotified both salesmen at the dealership immediately by text message and photos.chris indicated that the truck needs an oil change. So i had the oil change done immediately after the text message.two or three days later, the truck jerked again.i called chris and informed him that the truck was jerking again.chris indicated i take it to have it checked with an odb2.the truck obd2 indicated that the truck had a problem with camshaft sensors. From the parts store i drove to the dealership and showed the results of the obd2.chris indicated that he would discuss the issue with jesse to see if they could help get this problem resolved.within two to three days i returned to the dealership that jesse could test drive the truck.when jesse test drove the truck, it did not jerk and the check engine light was off.jesse indicated that he and the dealership could not help me because there was no evidence or codes to indicate there was an problem with the truck.jesse, chris and pete the mechanic indicated that the truck would be safe to drive.on or around the 08/20/19 i was in the hospital and my husband, jose, indicated that the truck was jerking.on or around 08/26/19 i personally went to the dealership and spoke to chris and let him know the truck was still jerking.chris indicated that he would speak to jesse.that same afternoon, i received a text message from chris.he indicated that they could offer labor and parts to fix the truck. But then continues the text indicating that it would cost me $200.i went personally to the dealership and indicated to jesse and chris that this was unacceptable because the truck began jerking two days after the day of purchase. I need this resolved.please help.
While running the defroster, the driver's side rear window popped and the glass shattered.i was driving to work in the morning going approximately 30mph.i was not turning.

My new ford f150 has recurring issues with the sync system. We drive down the road, hang up the bluetooth connected phone and the radio will begin playing at full volume and the steering wheel controls stop working, or you will be starting the car up and the air conditioning will be full blast or you will start the car and you wont have any radio/cd player/ media controls working at all. My ford rep says that ford does not have a fix and they don't expect one until maybe the first quarter of 2011.
Turned on rear window defrost and passenger side glass of 3 piece rear window exploded. Not moving at 545 in the morning and nobody around.
Power rear window glass has factory flaw causes rear window defroster and heated mirrors to become inoperable.there has been hundreds, if not thousands of cases of this issue.ford will not issue a recall.they do not cover it in their top tier extended warranty programs.i was quoted over $1000 to replace whole back glass to rectify.ford has since changed vendors for the complete back glass unit and still no recall.
The rear defrost malfunctioned and one of the three rear window panels shattered. The vehicle was being driven to school with my 3 children in the backseat. We were going 25 mph through a town.
Had a recall on my 2011 f150 . I took it and got it fix for the 12c23 a/t range sensor and its still doing that same things , it goes into reverse but want immediate on the dash of my f150 and this condition increases the rick of a crash or someone being hit because the truck isn't signaling it's in reverse . So the time i took my truck in to get this problem fixed it didn't fix the issue and when i get in reverse and back out , i have to put truck in park and cut to rest it because if not the truck will not shift gears . I took it back to ford and was going to charge me 2800.00 for lead frame and cpm
Tuned on my rear defroster and light did not come on.i pressed it a couple more times and nothing.about 10 minutes later when i was getting gas in my local city in alabama, it sounded like a gunshot went off.i look and the passenger side rear window panel has shattered.i did some research online and file hundreds of similar complaints due to a fault rear defroster.ford is willing to do nothing about it, leaving customers with the expensive bill.this should be a safety issue.

While in manual modeeverything on my dash went blank and quit working. I had nothing to go by not even my speedometer.also it slipped from 5th to 1st while driving down the highway causing it to lock up and my wife hit me from behind.i took it to world of ford in pensacola.they told me about 2 recalls. 16s19,16n02, nhtsa recall 16v248.my truck has been there for over 10days and they said there is no timeframe on when it will be fixed.i have a pregnant wife and a job and now i'm out of my vehicles.the manager at world of ford frank told me to drive it away from his shop that they weren't going to fix it.i can't drive the truck by it's dangerous.i do have his conversation recorded by he was telling me to drive the truck away after it locked up on me.now i'm trying other sources to see what i need to do.anything would help.i can't afford 40$ a day for a rental.especially since i feel like it's a ford issue not anything i did.## vin passed ## ford f-150 2011 ##
F150 was traveling the pa. Turnpike going 70mph. The transmission shifted into 1st gear from 6th gear. Rear end fishtailed uncontrollably. Ford said this vehical is not under the recall. They will however, charge me $100 for a diagnostic test. But i will pay to get this fixed. You folks need to remedy all of us owners who are getting screwed by ford for this dangerous problem. Go to any forum for ford f-150 and see the thousand of people this has effected in a real bad way

While driving down the road the vehicle abruptly down shifts , dash board goes blank, wrench light pops up and speedometer zeros out. Forcing you to stop
F-150 with ecoboost 3.5l gdti engine.electric vacuum pump that supports the brake booster stopped functioning. Brake pedal feel was hard and vehicle was difficult to stop at times. There were no signs or indicators of the malfunction, other than the hard pedal feel which came on slowly and therefore difficult to notice until vehicle was difficult to stop.

The rear defrost had been acting up not wanting to work every time i'd try and use it for the last 2 months. Well on the morning of november 7 i went to warm my truck up and tried my defrost and it didn't light up so i figured well its not working. So as i'm driving down the road i notice that my back glass was completely shattered on the drivers side of the back glass. I never heard anything break and there was no other sign of impact. Just out of nowhere. So i did some research into ford f150s and back glass breaks and came across a lot of reports of people who were in fact having defrost issues. .so my best guess is the electrical in the heated glass shorted out or sent a massive power surge through the glass causing it to shatter. .either way this is a recall issue that ford should be held responsible for.
Transmission shifted violently in to 1st on a main road causing the whhels to lock. I had to drive in 1st gear until i could get off the road and traffic was diverted around me at high speed. Not safe!
The issue i have with my 2011 ford f150 is with the back glass shattering.my truck was parked in my driveway and i remote started the truck.when i went out to leave the back glass was shattered on the passenger side.nothing hit the glass as it was parked and not in motion on the driveway.the rear defrost is set to auto when remote starting so the back defrost would of come on when i started the vehicle due to the windows having frost on them.looking online this appears to be a common issue with ford f150's and remote start with auto defrost.luckly no one was in the truck as this could of seriously hurt someone when the glass shattered.
I have 3 issues to report: 1. The oss output speed sensor manufacturer recall number 19s07 in november 2018 i was sitting at a red light i went to go when the light changed and the truck felt like it was going to stall i tried to get to the side of the road and then the truck seemed to go into gear and seemed fine no warning lights or anything 8 hours later on my way home from work the powertrain malfunction light came on wrench light i stopped and had it checked codes 0720 and 0722 came up output speed sensor i took it to my shop where they gave me the technical service bulletin and told me to take it to a ford service center which i did they ran another diagnostic and said they found the transmission lead frame faulty and charged me $1526.00 and now i find out there is a recall for this issue.2. Tsb15-0061 windshield wipers continue to operate in low intermittent whenthe switch is in the off position. Installed new wiper/multifunction switch twice and still have the problem.3. The same time my wipers started acting up my horn stopped working both when you push down on the horn switch on the steering column and when you go to set the alarm. I asked the service mechanics about this and i was told it could be the (bcm) body control module ford is recalling some bcm in ford f150 but doesnt show up when i put my vin number in.
Inter cooler issue.vehicle bucked and died, brought to dealer, repaired two coils, died on highway on way home from just picking up. Brought back to dealer, they said nothing wrong. Two days later, died again. Brought to auto zone and got diagnosed anitger bad coil. I replaced that. Niw one week later, vehicle bucks and jerks on highway.have found many complaints and say it's condensation in inter cooler system.ford claims no knowledge of this problem or repairs other things and problem persists. System is filled was filled with condensation. Dangerous as vehicle continued to buck and not accelerate.
Ever since the day i purchased my 2011 ford f-150 it has had an extremely irritating as well as distracting vibration at highway speeds. Vibration is most noticeable in both driver and passenger seats as well as the floor. Have put 30k miles on it, tried new tires, numerous tire rotation/balances, even replaced rotors. No matter what i do the trucks shakes/vibrates at highway speeds. Please help!!
There are @ hoses that come out of the radiator and go into a hard plastic t-piece (part number dr3z-8566-a) and there are o-rings inside of it. Mine started leaking and i was informed that i had to replace the whole piece no big deal. Then the dealer ship went on to tell me that they have replaced 6 in the last 2 weeks of the same exact year and model. The dealer ship is in lima ohio.that being said if there are so many of these that are going bad and the vehicle only being 5 years old i feel like there is obviously a defect in the part/ design of it that causes it to fail.
I turned on the rear defrost on my 2011 ford f-150 with 45,000 miles on it and the r/h side of the sliding rear window shattered.it is still in one piece but there are small glass fragments of glass all over the back seat. I am sure glad my girlfriends grandson was not put in his carseat before this happened.i stopped at the local ford dealer they took pictures and submitted it off to ford.i get a response from them on the same day that ford will only cover 50% of replacement cost.i see they already have 2 service bulletins on this back window andsince they are offering and covering 50% they seem to be admitting their is a problem.it is all over the internet that this is happening from the 2010's all the way up to 2014 f-150s.its a problem and ford is not doing to much about it.seems to me it this should go back to who ever manufactured the glass.other then what ford says this is a safety issue because some of these back windows are blowing right into the inside of the vehicle.recall or not this needs to be addressed.
Went to pass a slower car on the highway and my truck started shacking bad and slowed way down. The truck only has 60000 miles and has been well cared for.it felt like i was driving on square tires.
Door latch symbol comes on and dings. And then interior love got stays on.
My transmission is downshifting on its on when driving home without changing gears. I have to shut it off and wait before i can drive it again. I was in the flow of traffic when this happens and it is very scary. And it continues so i'm unable to drive it because it's to dangerous.
During rain storm or high humidity driving conditions,while at a steady speed for a few minutes, i apply the gas pedal to pass or merge, my truck stutters and loss of engine power occurs. When this happened it caused truck to slow down to unsafe speeds rapidly while on highway, causing me to steer to the side of the road to avoid a crash. The truck is still on when this happens but accelerator peddle is useless until vehicle is stopped, after a few moments it will work again. This happened multiple times and on multiple dates. One particular trip from pennsylvania to florida and back, this above condition happened no less than 15 times. Had my truck in for multiple services and nothing, but a code for misfire i believe the tech said. Had all tsb's done as of august 2013. My truck is averaging very bad gas mileage between 8.5 mpg to 12mpg. My truck also stutters while in reverse while backing out of my driveway on cold days.
2011 f-150 pick up has had 3 episodes of suddenly downshifting to first gear in highway speed & in town. Nearly caused an accident. Exactly as described in recall (16v248000), it has been towed to the dealer; absolutely unsafe to drive. Ford customer service told me it would not be included in the recall. Dealer wants $1400 to "fix" the problem.
2011 f-150 with 3.5 liter ecoboost engine.truck had been driven approximately 20 miles in the rain. Stopped at a traffic light and then proceeded to turn left. Accelerated up a hill on a 2 line highway and truck began to shake violently and lost all power in a moving lane of traffic. Acheck engine light came on. Pulled to the side of road and after a minute truck cleared up and drove normal.currently the truck surges under moderate acceleration and in 3rd gear will go into limp mode and lose all power. Only occurs under moderate acceleration.
The subject pick up truck was southbound on i405 between orange ave and cherry ave in long beach california.the vehicle was in the fast lane or the lane adjacent to the fast lane.speed at the time of the incident was approximately 65 mph and the cruise control was engaged.traffic was moderate with all lanes moving at freeway speed. Without warning, and simultaneously with the sound of a skidding tire, the vehicle pulled violently and abruptly to the right, out of control, and crossed all traffic lanes of the freeway and the shoulder of the freeway.just prior to departing the roadway, enough control was regained to avoid hitting a freeway directional sign in the landscape median.the truck entered the landscape median and came to rest facing south, parallel to the freeway.approximately 10 minutes passed before the california highway patrol responded to the accident site.the officer said he was responding to an accident that was reported.the vehicle was towed to a local ford dealer for investigation. Five to ten minutes prior to the loss of control, the driver noticed a fluctuation in the speedometer from approximately 65 mph to 50 mph with no change in vehicle speed, engine rpm or performance.several weeks prior to the accident, the driver experienced an event at moderate speed which was described as feeling though the vehicle was hit from behind at slow speed although there was no one behind the truck.simultaneously, the speedometer and tachometer both failed to 0 and the dashboard display went blank.shortly thereafter, a "wrench" icon appeared momentarily on the display.the driver continued driving to a gas station and refueled.when the engine was started after refueling, all instruments appeared normal with no icons present.no icons re-appeared at any time up to and including the date of the accident.updated 06/16/14
Truck will have severe intermittent stumble/misfiring on acceleration from 45mph+ in humid, wet or damp conditions.the vehicle shudders violently, bogs down, and check engine light flashes eventually becoming a solid engine light.this involves the engine shuddering when there is acceleration at highway speeds; this is very dangerous when trying to pass vehicles at highway speeds. Have my spark plugs and coils replaced after the following happened in damp and wet weather conditions.make years seem to involve 2011-14 ecoboost trucks.from thousands of ford forum posts, the trucks have an intercooler condensation problem that is causing poor performance and spark plugs/coils to fail early.water and oil vapor/residue condensation is being sucked into the engine.people have had to take it upon themselves to find a solution by drilling a 1/16' hole in the low point of the intercooler driver's side to drain oil/water condensation/residue or install a $400-$500 oil catch can separator which ford should be offering to owners with this problem.ford should own this problem and issue an appropriate fix like the oil catch can installation or confirm with its owners that it is ok to drill a weep hole in the intercooler.not the cheap fixes i have seen like tsb 13-8-1.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving at various speeds with the cruise control activated, the vehicle independently accelerated in excess of 80 mph. The contact was able to stop the vehicle by shifting into neutral and shutting off the engine. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. The contact stated that the failure recurred on several occasions. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.

Sometimes when i try to pass the engine during full acceleration stumbles and looses acceleration. It does not happen all the time and does not give an error code in the computer. Very dangerous on two lane road passing.
We were driving in normal conditions, going about 40 mph, all of a sudden we lost power/acceleration and truck jerked, and brakes seemed to applied by their selves very hard. This seemed to happen sporadically until about a week ago.its happening now at least 3 times a week.the truck is driven everyday on the interstate and my husband is very concerned that he is going to cause an accident.it happened yesterday and he said it was so bad, when the loss of power happened, the brakes locked so bad the tires just screeched. He took truck to the dealership on 3/4/14 and they could not find anything wrong with the truck.on the way home from the dealership (same day) it happened again.after the dealership told him that, i began searching on the internet and found the loss of power/brake problem.(moisture in cooler causing loss of power problem in f-150 echboost engines) he called the dealership back and he told them about the info on the internet that we had found, and that if had happened again that same day, they told him they were aware of the echboost problem, but can't do anything about it until a recall happens, so they did nothing to the truck .this is definitely a problem and it is going to cause a collision and possible death or injury when this happens.there definitely needs to be a recall on the f-150 ecoboost trucks. Please help everyone that owns this vehicle and issue a recall.
I have a 2011 ford f-150 pickup truck.recently i have been experience issues with the truck randomly shifting to first gear.i checked the ford website and there is a recall notice number 16s19 covering this very issue.i took the truck to the local ford dealer and they test drove it.they were unable to duplicate the action.they said that there was nothing they could do.i had no choice but to take the vehicle.the very next morning it happened two times on my way to work.i think this is a very unsafe situation and ford or the dealership should provide me a vehicle until it is fixed.if i experience this random downshift while in traffic it could very easily cause an accident resulting in serious injury.the ford dealer is bedford ford located in bedford pa.
I experienced lack of acceleration, sputtering, shaking from the vehicle while trying to pass on a 2 lane rural highway. This is second event of this nature and the first since having ford make certain repairs to engine to correct this issue.i have the v-6 eco boost engine. I am unhappy that this engine encounters this problem and it could result in a wreck with loss of life.this should be taken seriously!
The motor stumbles when passing people on the highways or at any type of strong acceleration.this problem has been ongoing and there are records at the seekins ford dealership here in fairbanks, alaska.i have brought it in more than once, but they have failed to fix the problem.
Unexpected transmission downshift to a 1st gear regardless of vehicle speed.
When attempting to pass a slower moving vehicle, i moved into the left pass lane and pushed on the gas, the truck began to shudder violently, lose power, and the check engine light came on. I took it to the dealership where i bought it and they did the intercooler fix. After that the problem continued. Check engine light came on, took back to dealership, they told me it was a spark plug, replaced it, on the drive home same problem, engine shudders violently, loses power, goes into limp mode, and check engine light either flashes or goes solid. I have had this problem since the day i purchased the truck new from the dealer.
2011 ford f150 starter problems. I've replaced starter on this vehicle multiple times and still have issue's. I turn ignition and all that happens is a screeching noise. After a couple tries it starts.second issue is speed control issues. I was driving on city streets and all of a sudden my speedometer stopped working. My truck would not shift and had to manually shift gears.
Since new, this vehicle has had an issue with a loss of power when accelerating hard. The latest incident, this past october, occurred at approximately 80000 miles. Plugs were bad prematurely and found that it was caused by water build up in a cac for the turbo chargers and there was a tsb. I was passing a car and lost power almost creating an accident. This time, fortunately, a light stayed on so they could diagnose the issue.the dealer did an update per the tsb but ford refused to pay for the update due to the miles even though this issue has occurred numerous times before the warranty had expired. I am disappointed that the nhtsa did not make the recall mandatory in their previous investigation as i believe water being injected into an engine causing a power loss at a time power is called upon is dangerous.
Have researched and found ford recall 19s07, this is everything the truck is doing, no letters have been sent. How can i get a case number to take to dealership to have fixed
Went on a 350 mile trip, i was at a stop light and when i went to accelerate the truck lost all power. I have one of the ecoboost engines. The engine did fix itself and i continued with no other problem, this is the first time i experienced this problem.2011 ford f150 king ranch.

After receiving recall 19s07-19v-075 by mail and having it reprogrammed by crater lake ford medford,or the transmission shifts worse than the original. My vehicle was manufactured at georgia plant. 3.7 flex fuel. I was in cruise control going down a mountain pass with my foot on the brake and the cruise control failed to disengage and then abruptly shifted to a lower gear. The cruise control works flawlessly on most grades. The problem only seems to occur when during on highways in the mountains. 39k miles. Way too many light bulbs have gone out on this model.never off-roaded . Not a work truck. Never even towed anything. Since that downhill cruise control problemoccurred, now i have an antifreeze coolant leak at the expansion overflow tank on the 3/4 quick disconnect hose . Vehicle has never overheated. Low speed high rev before shifting into 2nd gear. Cruise control problem only on highway going downhill. Did they mistakenly reprogram my f150 with wrong recall?
Spring of 2012 acceleration failed when overtaking a slower vehicle. My speed was about 60 mph. This happened on more than one occasion.06/10/13. Vehicle engine began missing and vibrating when accelerating at any speed. I was driving about 45 mph.have sent the pickup to the dealer for inspection/repair.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at 55 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed and the gauges in the instrument panel began to fluctuate. The check engine and the wrench warning light illuminated. In addition, the gear shift indicator began to change rapidly. The failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
Upon starting vehicle and beginning movement, the brakes do not work for a short time.engine light has came on.pressing on gas pedal movement is sluggish.
Traveling on i 20 during heavy rain , got off interstate to refuel and after reentering interstate accelerated to get back to highway speed and truck stalled went to shaking real bad and engine light came on.would not accelerate just shook real bad and i pulled over turned it off for a few minutes and restarted and continued on.no more issues once the rain stopped.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while his wife was driving out of a parking lot at 5 mph, the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration. No warning lights illuminated. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a parked vehicle, another vehicle that was exiting the parking lot and two pedestrians. Both pedestrians were injured and required medical attention. The contact stated that one of the pedestrian had to have surgery. The driver did not sustained injuries.the contact also mention the air bags failed to deploy.a police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot. The dealer nor manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.
Speed sensor stops communicating causing the truck to shift in first gear. This has caused the back wheels to lock up and could cause serious wreck. I need to have this fixed asap at no charge. This is a $40,000 truck and should not be having these dangerous issues. I hope this can be taken care of without contacting the news and my attorney
While entering a highway via an on-ramp doing about approximately 45 miles per hour i attempted hard acceleration to pick up speed and merge in to traffic that was doing approximately 65-70 miles per hour. When i depressed the throttle the vehicle did not accelerate, but it started to hesitate and shake. The check engine light came on and the vehicle would not go over 40 miles per hour. This almost caused an accident situation as i expected the vehicle to accelerate when it did not. I was then forced to pull over to the shoulder and shut the vehicle off. After restarting the vehicle the cel had cleared and the vehicle was operating normally. No code was stored in the pcm to indicate what the issue was. This happened several more times since the first incident. Once while towing a 4000lb boat/trailer which also almost caused a severe accident. Ford has found nothing wrong with the vehicle and concludes there is nothing they can do since no codes were stored. I will note that after receiving tsb 12-2-10 the vehicle will still exhibit the same symptoms described above, but now the check engine light does not come on. Vehicle will stall, go in to "limp mode" with no indication that anything is wrong. Only resolution is to turn the vehicle off and back on to clear the status. This creates dangerous situations when on a highway. Completely unacceptable.
Truck started to shake violently when accelerating. Felt as if the wheels were loose or the u joint for the drive shaft was going bad. Had to let off the gas. Has been ongoing from the time i purchased the vehicle to present time.
While driving my transmission changed gears speraticly from 1 to 2 to 5th back to first causing my rear end to lock up temporarily then service light came on. The meters showed that it was the output shaft speed control sensor. I was in waynesboro, ms on john perry mcmichael rd.this problem had occurred in many of the 6r80 transmissions of this same year.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150 ecoboost. The contact stated while driving 65 mph, the accelerator failed to respond to several attempts to accelerate with no warnings. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The mechanic stated that a deflector needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 23,389.
My truck has shuddering problems during acceleration to pass.the weather was rainy and very wet.this is not the first time i have experienced the problem.while visiting louisiana in the summer of 2012 i experienced the same issue and while in san antonio, i had the catalytic converter replaced.
While accelerating the truck hesitates, looses power and jerks violently, the check engine light flashes several times while passing a vehicle. When the truck jerks and looses power it feels like the engine is about to explode. Has almost caused several accidents because of the sudden lost of power. It appears to me that the truck is misfiring.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal and the throttle would remain stuck. As a result, the vehicle accelerated without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The repairs were unknown. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000.
I was driving down my street and braked to pull into my driveway, after in my driveway i touched the accelerator (to get up the slight grade) and my truck went wide open throttle!! i mashed on the brake but the truck continued to accelerate uncontrollably and crashed into my brick home.even after impact and me continuing to apply full brake it was still wide open throttle and burning out.i finally came to my senses and shut the ignition off and the stopped it.i had the truck towed to my local dealer as recommended by ford customer care rep.the dealership ran a diagnostics check and found nothing as well as tried to get it to duplicate the problem with no luck.i had a state trooper certified in downloading event recorder data do such to my truck.the data shows exactly what happened..but does not differentiate between the accelerator being pushed vs.the accelerator position as indicated. However, it does show service brake applied and continual acceleration at the same time which i can prove was not done by me!i have pictures of abrasions to my right shin and knee from the steering column and dash..my right foot was fully applied on the brake pedal causing the abrasions at impact due to being directly in line with the steering column.my left leg had zero abrasions...since to the left of the steering column.if i was to be responsible for the data shown in the down load i would of had to have my left foot on the brake and thus sustaining abrasions to that leg.it is also impossible to use the right foot to brake and accelerate simultaneously to achieve the acceleration indicated...ones leg has to be cocked to the side and out of line of the steering column.everything on my pickup is oem....including the floor mats...which contrary to some beliefs that could be the cause.my truck has sat at the dealership untouched since they looked at it.
Transmission shifted in to 2nd at 50 mph..lost control hit a fence pole..blew up my tranny..nobody will help with towing
Lost power during acceleration, engine light came on instrument cluster.truck had a severe miss.drove about 20 miles in 5th gear and engine cleared up and light went off.truck then missed during accelerations all the way home.
Power train coming on all time / brake problems/ light coming on all times
I had filed a complaint last year after a recall was put in place for 2011 f150 for the power control module and lead frame speed sensor and was told that my vehicle was not in the date range. I had the ford dealership repair this at my expense and was told that i would be reimbursed by ford if a recall was announced for my date of manufacture.now that my vehicle is included in the recall, i asked the dealership to submit the paperwork so that i could be reimbursed and got a call back saying that ford was not going to reimburse me for my expense.can you assist with this matter ?
My check engine light came on, code scanned was p0016. The code scanner states it's an issue with the timing chain loosening over time. The truck has a very prominent rattle sound for about 2-3 seconds upon an initial start up in the cold weather. The other day i went to pass someone, and lost power in the engine and my truck would not accelerate past the car. Ford is aware of the issue, as people all over the country and canada are having the same issue with 2011-2012 ford f150 with the ecoboost engine. To me this seems like an obvious safety issue that ford should take care of. Seems like an engineering flaw to me. The timing chain coming loose, and engine rattling like it's coming apart has to be causing damage as time goes on. The problem i had while trying to pass the car was on a lane 55mph road.
Vehicle shut off going up hill weather cold and damptook truck to dealer on 5/20/13 found nothing wrong . On 5/25/13 vehicle shut off 11 times while accelerating.drove vehicle on mon may 27 shut off 9 times and we were nearly run over by semi on interstate. Engine light came onon tuesday may 28 drove to dealerwith vehicle shutting off over 10 times. Vehicle is a liability as well as a safety hazard for driver as well as other drivers.
As i push hard on the gas pedal to accelerate, the engine misfires with a "clunk" feel and sound eld/heard in the cab.the engine continues for a bit and then happens again, and again until i release the gas pedal.this has nearly caused two accidents as i went to accelerate on the highway to 1) get out of the way of a driver who was ignorantly moving into my lane and 2) went to accelerate around an obstacle in the roadway and had to cut into oncoming traffic.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle independently accelerated while stopped and crashed into another vehicle. There were no injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to jim navarre ford (2051 w monroe rd, alma, mi 48801), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
While in wet conditions truck will stall, loose power, and shutter. While driving up a hill on busy interstate the truck stalled. Had to take foot off accelerator to get the truck to go. We were almost rear ended because of this. This has happened many times!
While driving down the road the vehicle abruptly down shifts , dash board goes blank, wrench light pops up and speedometer zeros out. Forcing you to stop
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at 60 mph, the rpm's started revving excessively high and loud without depressing the accelerator pedal. The speedometer, the tachometer and the gear selector also failed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the body control module and the transmission change sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 189,000.
I was traveling on the interstate where i live and was trying to get up to speed to merge with traffic and when i accelerated my truck lost power and began to sputter and shake, and would not get up to speed, and the check engine light came on, when i took to the local dealer where i purchased it i was told number 2cylinder and number 4 cylinder was mis firing, that i needed new coil packs so i had them replaced and i am still having the same problem.
When getting on the highway with pedal all the way down start to get shutter at 4100 rpm through 2nd gear and then when it is in 3rd gear at the same rpm it will shutter even worse and then sometimes the check engine light will come on and start blinking for up to a min and then the truck will not move at all.
While accelerating up a hill, the engine began to misfire and would not accelerate properly and actually slowed while the service engine light blinked.i was forced to pull off the highway, shut the engine off and restarted.the check engine light did not re-light and i continued on normally until attempting to pass a vehicle when the same malfunction occurred. This happened repeatedly over the past 3 months while attempting hard acceleration until it was returned to the dealer for repairs.the dealer installed a "deflector" to prevent moisture from entering the turbo or aftercooler and reprogrammed the computer.upon leaving the dealer, it was evident that the repairs did not work and the problem became worse. The engine misfires constantly resulting in an unsafe vehicle.
I do not have the exact dates as to when the first incident took place.i was entering the e way merging into traffic when i tried to accelerate the vehicles lost power.i was fortunate not to be hit in the back bytraffic i had to steer quickly to the side of the road.i have taken this vehicle and two others we own in on multiple occasions for this problem.the different fixes they have tried have not worked and yet i continue to be charged for these fixes. I feel if it is a known problem ford should be taking care of the problem not charging me to try and figure it out. After reading online that i am not the only one having these problems as i have been told i felt it is important to file a complaint before someone is killed.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle downshifted to first gear on its own. The contact pulled over and shut the vehicle off for approximately two minutes. Once restarted, the vehicle operated normally. The failure occurred seven times last week. The vehicle was taken to empire ford of new bedford (395 mt pleasant street, new bedford, ma 02746) where it was diagnosed that the output speed sensor was defective and forced the vehicle to downshift to first gear. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.
The vehicle lost power after accelerating to higher speed when entering the highway. This has happened multiple times when passing or entering highway at higher speeds.
This is a ford ecoboost truck that is turbocharged. During a heavy rain on interstate 95 i tried to accelerate from about 5 mph and the truck lost power and barely moved. After about 30 seconds the truck regained power and moved ahead. There were 2 other instances on this trip also during rain.. The second time the check engine light came on and stayed on. Upon returning home i searched the internet and found out i am not alone in this. There have been 3 tsb's to effect a repair. I made an appointment with the dealer. The engine code was a misfire on cylinder #6. Tsb 13-08-01 was applied and i was billed $255.66. This problem needs a recall and repairs made before someone is badly hurt. I was nearly rear ended on the interstate. The problem is high humidity condenses in the intercooler (cac) or charge air cooler as ford calls it. Then a sudden acceleration causes the condensed water to enter the engine grounding out the spark plugs on the left side of the engine causing a loss of power and stall. This has also been known to damage the left catalytic converter. Why must i pay to fix a design flaw? ford needs to recall all of these trucks and repair them. This is not a mileage based problem but is inherent in all of them. During the right conditions it will happen.
While trying to merge onto the highway while under medium to heavy throttle my 2011 f-150 ecoboost lost all power while shuddering to the point it i had to abruptly get out of traffic and pull off the side of the road. As this was happening the check engine light started to flash and continued for a few minutes. After sitting for a few minutes the truck behaved almost normal as long as engine rpm was kept under 2500 above that it continued to miss and have a loss of power. By the time i got it home the cel was(is) on continuously. This all happened during rush hour on a very busy socal highway and could have been catastrophic.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle shuddered and failed to accelerate properly. When the failure occurred the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The failure occurred approximately nine times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 58,296. The vin was not available.
Under hard acceleration on the highway, the engine began to cut out and misfire, then the check engine light began to flash. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they said the innercooler had failed and needed to be replaced. Now, at roughly 55,000 miles it has begun to do it again, i had noticed it some before, but now it is worse. I took my 2011 f150 with the ecoboost to the dealership again and they said a tsb had been written and they changed the replaced the lower air deflector. This actually made the problem worse. At wide open throttle from a stop to about 80 mph, every gear will cut out and sometimes put the engine into a protection mode beginning around 4,000 rpm. If it shakes and shudders made enough the check engine light will flash, and now it has come on and stayed on. It has been very dangerous if i pull out to make a pass and then the engine shuts down and i can no longer accelerate. This has happened dozens of times, and has been addressed twice now by the dealership without any fix.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle would accelerate rapidly and without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician was unable to diagnose the problem. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 20,000 and the current mileage was 36,000.
Transmission jumps in and out of gear with no apparent relation to vehicles speed or throttle position. If the transmission decides to drop into 1st at sufficient speed to lock the drive wheels this is terrifying and inherently dangerous. Ford knows this condition exists on 6r80 transmissions but seems unwilling to widen the recall. Maybe someone needs to die before they address this. Its a miracle this hasn't lead to a loss of life incident yet.
Vehicle will down shift randomly and still haven't heard back from ford about a remedy it's an open recall
Attempts to accelerate to passing speed resulted in severe engine sputter and bog down. Failed to accelerate and continued sputtering for several miles to follow. This occurred twice during the same (approximately 8 hr) trip at highway speeds, during rainy conditions. The second time occurring on a long stretch of 2 lane road causing me to have to re-enter my lane with other traffic already moving up to pass behind me.
Driving on new years day, i was traveling and needed to accelerate onto an expressway.as i pressed on the throttle pedal my ford f150 2011 seemed to lose power for a second or two before regaining power again.this was the first time i can recall, but it happens each time i press the throttle all the way down for acceleration. I have learned thatmy f150 is not reliable enough to attempt to pull out unless traffic is completely cleared, or i have several car lengths of distance.
The contact owns a 2011 ford 150. The contact stated that the brake pedal and accelerator pedal were too close together. As a result, the contact was constantly depressing both pedals at the same time and almost caused a crash. The manufacturer was not made aware of the defect.the vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 25,439. Updated 10/02/14
My f150 transmission started shifting from 3rd to 1st in january 2019 on a highway by my house. This happened a couple of times and i took to a transmission shop. Replaced the transmission and two weeks later i got the recall notice from ford 19s07 in february. Ford said that if i took to a ford dealer, they could help, but i didn't because i was not under warranty. I called a ford dealer and in may they still do not have the software to fix. I would have not been able to use my truck since february. I feel that i'm stuck in the middle. What would ford have done if i took to a ford dealer in january?
While crossing a major intersection the car came to a stop. The engine and the electricity stayed on however rpm's dropped to less than 1000 and it just rolled to a stop. I pressed the accelerator and nothing happened. This persisted for 10 seconds. Luckily, just before i was almost hit the accelerator started working again and i barely made it clear.i brought the truck in as it is still under warranty and they said they know exactly what the issue is but can't fix it until they can re-create it. They have seen this on many f-150's of this year and type. They have had my truck for 3 days and can't make it happen again so they have asked me to come get it, knowing it has this issue. My take on this is i am a guinea pig until it happens enough, someone dies and a recall starts.
Regarding safety recall notice19s07, i called the dealership and they told me that they do not have the software to fix this until sometime in may, to call back at the beginning of may. How can i make ford resposible if something happens to me in the meantime? thanks!
Going up highway @ 55mph. Pulled around a vehicle to pass. Once, i was in the oncoming traffic the engine suddenly lost power, chugged, and was stumbling over itself. I then got back behind the vehicle i was passing. The 4 passengers and i were all quiet and then freaked out.after a while we pulled out and accelerated to go up road again, truck dogged out. We had no clue what was happening, but everyone was freaked out. We called birthday party destination to tell them we have vehicle trouble and can't make it. Drove it down hill all the while worried the engine was going to blow. Drove it directly to dealership who stated they had no clue and did not want us to leave it there. Said set up appt. 7-10 days out. Parked it until appt. Then they replaced all spark plugs.we also have had troubles with the braking. Where it suddenly takes extra effort and requires the driver to press hard on the brakes to get it to slow down. When we've driven it to ford for repair they throw their hands up, act frustrated, like they do not have any clue as to what the problems are. We were hesitant to renew our state tags as it sits parked most of the time, since it chugged on level surface with no rain present, and the mechanics light came on. We feel scared driving it and it has remained parked for 3+ weeks. This is our newest vehicle, which looks new and yet we can't drive it. We're not made out of money, and can not easily replace this truck. We want ford to fix the engine and the brakes, and not act like they have no idea about these problems.ford wants us to take the loss on the vehicle value or continue driving it until something bad happens. They want nothing in writing. And, we do not want to sell the vehicle to a stranger. We'd allow you to inspect our vehicle....and drive it for a test drive. Would you want to be driving this vehicle with your young children as passengers?
The most recent incident resulted in transmission having a harsh downshift to first gear causing vehicle to jerk and engine revs up. This has happened several times in the past including a few days before taking it in for the recall repair in 2019. ( recall 19v -075). This problem, according to ford, is due to intermittent failure of the output speed sensor ( part of the molded leadframe in the transmission). Two latest incidents occurred on a city street. Have had at least one occasion on an expressway where vehicle had very jerky transmission shift while in cruise control. Have complained about this to ford and took the vehicle in on two occasions( see attached invoices). The problem has never been resolved and no warning messages or trouble codes have been found during the repairs. Ford issued an extended warranty coverage ( program # 19n01) on may 2019 and my vehicle still qualifies. I took the vehicle in this week to request they replace the molded leadframe since the problem is still present. They refuse to replace the part because they say no trouble codes are present. I have found others on ford forums who say they have the same problem and they also have no trouble codes stored either. Ford needs to acknowledge that the lack of trouble codes does not ensure the problem is not present. I continue to have concerns that my family's safety and others is jeopardized by ford not agreeing to take responsibility and making the necessary repairs. They themselves say in the recall notice that "this condition could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash."
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 55 mph, the transmission downshifted into first gear independently. The vehicle was taken to village motors inc. (784 wooster rd, millersburg, oh 44654) where it was diagnosed that the software needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 57,000. .consumer stated truck downshifted to first gear on two consecutive days. One time at 55mph and second time at 35 mph. Ford dealership said software unavailable for repair.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while descending a steep grade, the rpms greatly increased and the vehicle erroneously accelerated. The contact also stated that the engine hold back disengaged. Once the rpms decreased, the engine hold back engaged and the vehicle decelerated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that the transmission fluid was low but the vehicle was operating as designed. The failure recurred again and was taken to the dealer, who referred the contact to the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 15,500 and the current mileage was 18,000....updated 02-07-13updated 02/13/2013
The speedometer begins swinging erratically then the truck automatically downshifts from 6th gear to 1st gear at full highway speed (70 mph) causing the back tires to lock up and skid down the road.extremely dangerous.contacted ford and they said they were aware of the problem and there is actually a recall on this very problem, but not for my truck since it was not within the recall dates by a few months.took the truck to two different ford dealerships and they said they don't know what is wrong with it, but could do the work outlined in the recall as long as i paid for it.see attached recall notice from ford's website- ford issues safety recall and customer satisfaction program for certain 2011-2012 ford f-150, and 2012 ford expedition, ford mustang and lincoln navigator vehicles in north america to update powertrain control module software and inspect for certain diagnostic trouble codesford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 202,000 2011-2012 ford f-150, and 2012 ford expedition, ford mustang and lincoln navigator vehicles for a potential issue with the output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame. Under certain conditions, the transmission controls could force a temporary downshift into first gear. Depending on the speed of the vehicle at the time of the downshift, the driver could experience an abrupt speed reduction that could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. This condition could result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.ford is aware of three reports of accidents and no injuries related to this condition.
I was on the enter state two lane thank god.it was raining and i started to accelerate to get around a big truck and my truck started to shudder and lost power all power.my truck has the 3.5 liter ecoboost engine.this is the third time this has happened to me.
I was driving my ford f150 about 45mph when all of a sudden there was a hard jerk. So hard i thought someone had hit me, then a wrench came on the screen. After it jerked it slow down drastically. I turned around and took it to o'reilly's auto and they hooked it up to that machine and it gave a code that had to do with a catalytic converter. I had to wait until thanksgiving holidays were over until that following monday before i could take it to my mechanic and he hooked it up to his machine and said that one of the sensors was not registering then i remembered i had a recall on a sensor that had to do with the transmission so i took it to the ford house. I didn't have the recall paper with me so they looked it up on their computer and said they were going to reprogram the software that goes to a sensor in my transmission. And it didn't fix the problem. It is still doing the same thing and it doesn't matter, there is no way i would ever take it out on the highway i don't even want to drive it any faster than like 25 miles an hour because it jerks so hard and there's no warning when it happens whatsoever.it's scary, very scary. My complaint is i did the recall and i don't know what to do next because it's still doing the same thing like i never i know when it will do it again. I don't knowif it's through the code and is no longer programmed i don't know but it's unsafe and i'm scared to drive it at all because people honk at me afterwards because i go so slow so i turned my hazards on. People are rude now days if they have to follow someone driving super slow. Which i do because of the jerk and the sound it makes. Unsafe.
While traveling a two lane hwy, on rt 81 from tennessee to virginia in the early hours of the morning ,we were pulling our 24 foot camping trailer, we were behind a tt unit and there was a tt unit behind us , we were all attempting to pass a slower mv in the right hand lane, when i tried to accelerate the truck shuddered and the engine completely went limp, the engine light came on and we were barley able to make it to the side of the road, and prevent an accident ,. When we did get to the side of the road the engine light continued to flash and the truck was not running..
Truck frequently goes into limp mode/stalls.this has happened at various speeds, times, terrain, etc all over the country both with and without our camper attached and both with and without tow-haul engaged.i've taken it to the dealer numerous times and each time they've updated the software according to some tsb that's been released.i've had the deflector put on, cam changed, and now they're replacing the throttle body.
When driving the truck and i hit the brakes, sometimes the car automatically accelerates having a hard time trying to control the speed of the truck. Went to the dealer and it didn't happen to them, can't explain why this happens. Now i have to brake a great distance in advance before actually going to stop because i don't know if and when it will happen again. It also happened when i was backing up into a parking space and had to jam in park to stop it. It just happens with no warning. It has happened several times in the past two years.
While driving down the highway about 55 mph the vehicle will down shift and the odometer will die and drop to zero, most of the indicators will have dashes instead of numbers.the truck will automatically slow down causing me to have to pull off the road to avoid an accident.i then have to turn the vehicle off and remove the key from ignition and restart the vehicle up again to reset all the gauges.this normally happens within the first 10 miles of driving the vehicle.this would only happen on a few occasions now it is happening more frequently.there was a recall issued around the 1st of july 2016 but i was told the software fix would not be ready until the 3 quarter of the year.ford now wants to charge me $131.00 to diagnose the problem.i should not have to pay for it to be diagnosed if they already have a recall.i wonder how many lives will be in danger until the 3rd quarter update is available.
I accelerated hard on a highway entrance ramp and the engine started to stutter to the point i thought it might stall out.i let off the gas and accelerated again more slowly with no problem.thinking it was a one off i accelerated hard again and again the car stuttered. I went easy for a couple days and then again accelerated hard a few days later with the same result.i got online and realized i wasn't the only one having issues with this engine.on 4/18/14 i took my truck to the dealership(landers ford, collierville, tn) and reported the problem.they were familiar with it and said there was a fix.this fix included installing a moisture deflector and reprogramming the computer.it was performed and i left the dealership.yesterday, 4/23/14, it happened again.i am planning on going back to the dealership tomorrow.
The service advancetrac light comes on regularly while trying the steering wheel at low speeds.it used to not be as common, but has gotten worse i. The past 6 months. Today i tried slowing down while making a right turn and the steering g locked up on me mid-turn. Based on the same diagnostics as hundreds of others with this problem, it's indicated that the entire steering rack will need replaced. Ford knows about this problem with not just the 2011 models, but with the 2012 and 2013 models as well.
I was driving my ford f150 ecoboost at highway speeds for about 1 hour, a light rain started with humid conditions. While traveling around 60 mph i attempted to pass another car but my truck would not accelerate.it began to shake and shudder when i tired to increase speed which almost resulted in a collision because i was unable to accelerate while passing. My truck has now returned to normal function but i have become aware that the issue i had has happened to several others.this is very dangerous because your truck is running just fine and all of sudden it will not accelerate.
After 4 hours of steady highway driving upon attempting to pass a vehicle the truck failed to downshift , lost power ( requiring me to abort maneuver)and began bucking... There was no cel. Took the car to the dealer and they inspected the truck found no codes and said no problem found. They said they reloaded the programming for the transmission. This vehicle has experienced this problem numerous times since the first occurrence. Always happens when accelerating and creates dangerous loss of power at critical drivingperiods.
F150 ecoboostwhile going down a slight grade at about 50 mph in drive the transmission suddenly shifted down a couple of gears thereby causing the engine to rev up to over 3,500 rpm.after several seconds the transmission shifted back up one step at a time to the 6th gear. This has happened at least twice on different occasions.another anomaly has occurred several times.while slowing down slightly the transmission suddenly 'clunks' and it feels like something has run into the back of the truck.it's like a hard shift into a higher gear, however the transmission appears to be6th and the speed is around 60 mph..
I was driving 70 mph up a hill when my truck started hesitating and my speed started to rapidly drop. I was in the fast lane and was forced to make my way to the right shoulder under a major power loss. The problem has since happened multiple time when i accelerate rapidly or under a load.
While driving my f150, v6 ecoboost engine, down the interstate, when i try to accelerate,the truck to pass vehicles and or move out of the way of on coming traffic, the engine gives me nothing and shutters, feels like it is missing.i originally started to feel this in 2013, took it to the dealership, cause i thought it could be a transmission issue, and the service rep only asked if a light came on and if none has come on, probably won't show anything.i am outside of my warranty now and the truck is shuttering very badly when i try to accelerate anywhere, besides my gas mileage has dropped significantly, which now can become a epa issue.i have read about a lot of issues concerning this year ford with same engine with no outcomes.i have been told, once again that if i don't have a check engine light, then it probably wont show a code.i don't know where else to turn but to at least have a complaint filed where there is an issue with the 2011 ford f150 v-6 ecoboost engine.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle lost power. In addition, the check engine warning light illuminated. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 86,000.
2011 ford f 150 with eco boost.when i accelerate the vehicle stalls out, bogs down, looses power and shutters.i have taken in the shop several times and they could not fix it.i recently took it back in and hey changed the spark plugs which helped a little however still really rough.i am thinking of filing. Lawsuit against ford.i have tied to trade out of the vehicle and i'm upside down because of bad publicity i'm being told.i thought i had. Lemon but i guess it's all the engines.
Molded lead frame and oss replacement.i was not notified of the molded lead frame recall 16n02.i experienced the electrical issue described in the recall in my driveway.my dashboard lit up like a christmas tree and would only drive in first gear.i drove to a mechanic that was closer than the ford dealer and was off of back roads so i could drive in first gear.i paid for the repair.i recently received a recall notice 19s07 which is for programming the oss sensor.i asked to be reimbursed for my repair and i was told no by crescent ford & trucks.they said 19s07 is for programming only.i believe ford should reimburse me for the lead frame, connector, automatic transmission fluid, and the speed sensor.
I was sitting in a fast food line waiting to place order. The truck was running and my right foot was on the brake. (i am a one foot driver.)the truck began to inch forward. I pressed on the brake and the engine began to accelerate. I pressed hard on the brake and the rear wheels began to spin. I slammed the gear shift into park and cut the engine off. I re-started the engine and was able to pull the truck out of the line. After re-starting the engine a couple more times i was able to drive the truck home. This occurred on october 14, 2016. I parked the truck and called my local ford dealer. He said i needed to bring it in.i needed to move the truck in the mean time and it did it again. The truck accelerated with my foot on the brake. The ford dealership couldn't get the truck to repeat the problem. They talked to the ford regional manager and i was to bring the truck back when they had a service rep available to fully check it out. I chose to leave the truck at the dealership rather than risk driving it. The dealership kept the vehicle for almost two weeks, said they drove it 273 miles and couldn't get the problem to repeat. And if they couldn't get it to repeat the problem they couldn't help. The ford regional manager said the same thing. I have a lot more notes but they pretty much say the same thing. Can you help me? i am concerned about driving the vehicle without it being repaired. Isn't there a class action lawsuit about ford trucks doing the same or a similar thing?please let me know.
On wednesday, march 13, 2019, i was traveling in my 2011 ford f150 vin#(xxxx) on the highway.during this time, i was traveling at approximately 65-70mph.about 1 minute after getting onto the highway, i felt a large knock in the transmission, and subsequently the vehicle downshifted from 6th gear into 1st gear, on its own, without warning!this action caused the rear tires to lock up, and the truck temporarily skid out of control, and drop speed to approximately 35-40 mph in the middle lane on the highway.thankfully, i was able to retain control of the vehicle, and there was not anyone near me, and i was able to avoid a serious crash.also, thankfully, i was on my way to work, and i luckily did not have my 5-year-old or 2-year-old in the vehicle with me.i immediately pulled to the side of the road, to compose myself, and re-evaluate the situation at hand.parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Truck was in 4th or 5th gear. Was traveling aprox 40 - 45 m.p.h. With out warningtransmission shifts into 1st gear.sliding on loose gravel.
When i'm accelerating the engine stalls, i may be leaving a stop sign climbing over an overpass or passing another slower vehicle. Seems to happen more often about 40mph to 70mph.
When i tried to accelerate the truck started to buck violently and lacked power.after releasing the gas pedal and coasting a bit i was able to slowly regain speed.it was raining at the time and had been raining most of the day on 12/29/14.we have not had a recurrence but have not had any rainy days either.
This is a 2011 ford f150 with ecoboost engine.3.5 liter v6 dual turbo.i purchased the truck 12-7-13 and it failed on 12-27-13 having problems accelerating.it has no power and the turbos do not work at random.the loss of power all the time is a serious safety concern.luckily i did not crash or cause a crash because of the issue.but the truck has been in for service since 1-30-14 ,has been out of commission for over 30 business days and no dealership can fix it.the truck is under multiple warranties, but the issue of the turbos failing at random / ingesting moisture from the inter cooler is still there.3/31/14 the truck is still at a dealership.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While the gear shifter was in the reverse position, it failed to accelerate without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The failure mileage was 116,000.
I have a ford f150 ecoboost. This vehicle is very defective due to loss of power when driving on highway trying to overpass other vehicles..vehicle looses power due to moisture or humidity that enters the intercooler. It also makes the cylinders to misfire and the turbo. Due to that engine turns on and i have to power to my vehicle while driving which can cause an accident due to a sudden slow in the middle of the highway.. I have three kids and i wouldn't want any accidents happening due to this.. Ford needs to do something about this vehicles i lost my money on a worthless piece of you know.im very disappointed because i've spend so much money on repairs are not working.
I approaching an intersection and let off the gas, and started to slowdown several hundred yards before coming to intersection. The f-150 suddenly began to accelerate without my foot on the gas and my foot apply as hard as i could to the brake. The truck was accelerating on own. Abs kicked in and pulsed. But again truck was accelerating without my foot on the gas i complete made sure foot was removed and both feet on brakes. Attempted to pump and immediately after relating from brake as pumping to try and stop as hard stop didn't work it was like it was building up and shoot out like a bullet and hit car in front me. Once hit then quit accelerating. The front lifted up and full accelerating but feet were both on brakes.lucky no one was hurt. Small damage to both vehicle because was as low speed intersection. If there wasn't a vehicle in front me. I would shot into intersection where only who knows what could have occurred to myself and others. This was a life threatening situation, that could have gone really bad.. End result could have been fatal. This needs to be investigated by ford and no one else should be injured or lives taken from an issue that needs immediate attention and resolution to the vehicle owners that are scared to drive there vehicle because of this occurrence. Ford needs to make this right and make sure all vehicles this is reported on are safe or taken out of commission to make our roads safe for others and drives.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Going up a steep hill in colorado on interstate i70 and the truck started hopping and lurching, dropping my speed from 60-40.the truck lost power almost causing me to be rear-ended on a busy highway.due to the steepness of the climb, i had to pull over on the side of a busy highway.the dealership said this is a misfire common in the ecoboost trucks.this was the third time this happened going up a steep grade on a busy highway, causing power to decrease drastically.truck had to be towed to a dealership.i was told it was cracked spark plugs, common in the ecoboost engine.i was very angry to find out i had to pay for the repairs as it is considered normal wear and tear and not under my extended warranty.i have read from other f150 ecoboost owners that this is a problem.ford should cover this fix or reimburse those who have to pay for it.regardless, this vehicle is not safe and should be fixed at no expense to the owner (especially when under warranty).
4 months ago i was driving on the highway and my truck went into limp mode, when i pulled over it was shaking violently with a check engine wrench on the instrument cluster.i shut it down and restarted it a few min later and it was back to normal.it was about 1 hour into my trip and around 32 - 35 degrees out,the roads were wet from snow fall.my wife and i own a home in nh so i travel two hours there and home every weekend.i haven't experienced the limp mode again but every time its wet and cold my truck will stall on acceleration, when at a light, and when on the highway the truck will stop accelerating when i try to give it gas.again, the only common factor when this happens is the temp and moisture in the air, weather its raining, snowing, or the roads are wet.it will happen almost consistently at the 1.5 hour mark of driving.i've been to the dealer about the issue and they keep saying that the computer isn't showing any troubles, but this is getting aggravating. I have the 6.2 v8 so it our issues we are all having has nothing to do with the ecoboost engine.they need to start looking into something that both engines have in common.
While attempting to accelerate and pass slower traffic on the highway, my 2011 f150 (4x4, ecoboost) truck lost almost all engine power, the check engine light started to blink, and the entire truck shook violently. Due to the truck's sudden deceleration without brake lights signaling it, oncoming traffic (including a large tractor/trailer) approached from behind rapidly and everyone had to brake abruptly to avoid a collision. I turned on my hazard lights, pulled the truck to the right shoulder and sat there for a few minutes while i called work to inform them that i would likely have to wait for a tow truck and be delayed. During that call, the engine light stopped blinking and the truck began running normally again. I reentered the highway when traffic was clear and the truck proceeded to run normally until i reached my workplace (roughly 2-3 more miles on the highway and about 5 miles through the city). A less severe instance of this occurred months before. In that case, there was a short power lag upon attempted acceleration, the check engine light blinked 2-3 times and then stopped blinking and the truck did not shake at all. The whole episode disappeared as quickly as it appeared after letting off the accelerator for a second or two. I believed it was a one-off thing. After today's much more severe episode, it is clearly not a one-off and obviously has the potential to cause an unsafe situation.conditions (in central pa) at the time of today's occurrence (7:45am): temp: 69f, humidity: 96%, overcast (not raining), wind: 0mph, truck speed: about 65mph, a/c: on auto set to 72f, load: driver w/ personal belongings (no extra load).
I was driving in highway traffic in the right hand lane at about 70-75 miles per hour.the weather was clear and the temperature was approximately 50 degrees. I encounter a slow moving vehicle and moved into the left hand lane and tried to promptly accelerate to pass a slower vehicle.when i attempted to accelerate the vehicle began to shake violently and go into a very rapid deceleration.the violent vibration of the entire vehicle and rapid deceleration made control a challenge. I moved to the right hand lane reduced speed to 50 mph and continued on to a ford dealership to have the vehicle evaluated.the dealership found that 3 coils failed which caused the vehicle to vibrate and decelerate rapidly.i had the vehicle repaired.
While speeding up from a service road to merge into traffic on an express way at approximately 55-60 mph, my vehicle suddenly accelerated to 80+ mph in a matter of second.i hit the brakes and the vehicle briefly decrease speed to about 70 mph but as soon as i release the brake it quickly accelerated to 80+ mph again. I attempted to brake a second time but the vehicle reacted the same way. I then shifted the gear into neutral and hit the brake and exit the express way.the vehicle started to slow down but the engine idle was still extremely high and the accelerator depress almost to the floor. I pumped the accelerator until the idle reduce to normal. When i finally came to a stop, i turned the vehicle off and got out and my brakes were extremely hot and smoking.i looked under the hood but couldn't see anything that indicated a problem.after about 5 minutes i started the vehicle up and drove directly to the ford dealership (woody anderson ford, huntsville, alabama). Ford motor company case# cas3080877
The truck almost stalls or remains at idle regarding of gas pedal input.an intermittent "wrench" icon may appear in the instrument panel.recycling the engine will temporarily clear the issue.this occurred each time after being stopped at idle at a traffic light. This is an extremely dangerous situation!i don't understand how this is allowed.the ford dealer i called said the throttle body should be cleaned every 30,000 miles.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle decelerated and began to vibrate. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road where the engine was turned off. Upon restarting, the vehicle resumed normally. The failure recurred twice. In addition, the vehicle would only accelerate at low speeds even though pressure was applied to the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnosis. The technician reprogrammed the computer system and installed a heat shield. In addition, there was a build up of moisture in the intercooler. The failure persisted after the repairs. The dealer was unable to provide a remedy. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 500.
I was attempting to accelerate hard to merge into traffic onto interstate highway.when i pushed pedal to floor, the vehicle immediately slowed as if a governor had kicked in.fortunately, i had room on shoulder to not get hit, but had to wait and pump pedal twice before it began to accelerate again.i have not tried to replicate the problem. I had an identical problem 3 years ago in another ecoboost ford f150 that nearly killed me.i attempted to pass another vehicle and realized that i needed hard acceleration and the vehicle immediately slowed.there was no where to go, but fortunately my fellow motorists realized i had a problem and let me back into my lane without a multi-vehicle crash.i asked my dealer about that then, and was told that never had been reported.i immediately traded that truck for the one i have now that day.
Truck locked up on me on the highway doing 70+ mph & caused me to spin out & wreck. It's a recall for that issue that ford will not fix for me because of mileage. Terrible customer service & endangered my life & others that day for a issue that they're responsible for.
The speed odometer jumps around and the gears change sporadically. After having this check by my mechanic, they feel that it is the power train control module and speed sensor. They found a recall for this model f150 but it did not include the date of build on my vehicle.recall 16s19.it is dangerous because you don't have any notice as to when it might act up and you loose power without any warning. It happens when driving on whywayans side streets, high and low speeds. It feels as if the gear is dropped from 5th to 1st and back.
I i took this vehicle to ford of dalton, georgia because there is a safety recall on the pcm and transmision that will suddenly downshift into 1st gear while going down the road. Customer service manager stated that it would cost me $140 dollars to diagnose the problem, and if the problem was the molded lead frame in the transmission that communicates with the output shaft sensor, that it would not be covered by the recall or warranty. This contradicts what the recall states. I shouldnt be charged $140 dollars for them to diagnose a recall..this is on a 2011 ford f-150
Engine misses at times of hard acceleration. Engine ecoboost.
I was driving at highway speed and tried to accelerate quickly to pass someone and the truck had major hesitation and shuddering. Continues to do this anytime you try to rapidly accelerate.
2011 ford f150 traveling at 65 mph straight down the highwaythe transmission seemed to slip out of gear and thendown shifted to first gear causing the wheels locked up and loss control of the truck and ran off the road into a dry ditch. Research show a safety recall for this exact problem. Safety recall notice16s19/nhtsa recall16v-248. Ford motor company say my vehicle is not covered in this recall.also fords info for this recall states that 2011 f150 built at dearborn plantbetween the dates of february 11 2011 to september 8 2012 are covered in this recall. My vehicle falls into this category but is not covered. If i were to have been on a heavily traveled road this could have cause a seriousaccident
Vehicle experienced hesitation when trying to accelerate.vehicle experiences jerkiness and at times complete power loss when trying to accelerate.vehicle lurches and hesitates when trying to maintain speed going up hills, or when trying to accelerate like when passing a car or on an interstate on ramp.issues have been reported to ford numerous times over past 2yrs, several various excuses provided and an occasional 'attempt' at fixing, with no remedy.most recent event (sep 2013) involved a near crash due to vehicle rapidly losing power in busy traffic.other incidents in the past have included stalling in the middle of an intersection when trying to accelerate from a full stop and nearly losing control when pulling a boat/trailer and the vehicle began to lurch/jerk when going up hills.
While merging onto the highway, the truck shuddered violently and slowed to about 10 mph . I released the throttle and gently reapplied it and it ran fine. I took it to dealer and they couldn't replicate it. The event has happened since, but check engine light doesn't stay on , so ford unwilling to do anything about it.
I was driveling my truck from 6 gearjump down to 1 gear. I stop turn off and turn back on my truck was fine after that but now doesn't change from the first gear. This happen inhighway 26 lucedale ms.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving 70 mph, he depressed the accelerator pedal and the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 5,536 and the current mileage was 11,800.
My transmission is downshifting on its on when driving home without changing gears. I have to shut it off and wait before i can drive it again. I was in the flow of traffic when this happens and it is very scary. And it continues so i'm unable to drive it because it's to dangerous.
While driving down highway tried to accelerate to pass truck vehicle lost power and check engine light came on.pulled off road and shut the vehicle down and then restarted vehicle.later loss of power on any incline that i approached.
#1: driving down the interstate, attempting to pass a semi; vehicle lost power as i tried to accelerate and we had to coast to a stop. This has actually happened twice. The first time they replaced the intercooler and the second time i replaced the spark plugs. It occurred about three weeks after getting the vehicle it's regular service. If there was a problem with the gaps on the plugs, and they knew cars were losing power because of it, then they should have mentioned that at the service!#2: driving down the interstate and speedometer jumped around and went to zero. After i got off the highway, i lost power and had erratic shifting while trying to cross an intersection. There's a tsb out for this too!! why isn't there a recall if there's a defective part that creates dangerous situations!?!?
On i-20 east headed to augusta, ga from alabama i pulled into the left lane to pass and the engine starts sputtering, skipping and lost almost all power. It happened 3 times yesterday. It was in a light rain and since there was light traffic i was able to slow down and get the engine to recover each time. This could be a real danger in heavy traffic. I tested it again this morning (08/18) and if you try to accelerate quickly it just about shuts down until you let off.
I lose power when trying to pass a vehicle and the motor seem to shutdown and shakes.
While drivingit down shifts from 3 to 1, codes are p0705 and p0016. These should fall under the factory recall for 15n05 and 19n01 but ford refuses to cover it. Truck not only downshifts but also clinics into gear from park to drive or reverse.
Good morning,i have a 2011 f150 that is have a serious problem i would like to have resolved while driving the truck will down shift from 6th to 2nd at 70 miles per hour.it also will lose power and rear wheels will lock up.when coming to astop and start again the truck makes a loud bang that feels like the drive shaft and trans. Are separating.while driving mph will go to 0 miles ph. And a tool will display on the dash.my truck has 187k on it and have been told that ford will not fix the issue due to mileage i would hope that ford cares more about my family's safety than the 37k miles past the warranty.this is a well known problem that needs to be fixed, ford i hope you will fix my truck.it has already had the tps done didnt help,i need my truck for work and cant afford to get another at this time.help!!!!!
On several occasions and more frequently as of lately, i am losing acceleration capability when i am trying to accelerate at any speed. When i try to accelerate from a stop or uphill, i feel like the engine won't go or is bogging down. To try and compensate, i try to accelerate more which only seems to make the problem worse. I have already taken it to the ford dealer and they replaced a part on the transmission, but the problem still persists and is only get more frequent.
After completing a required recall, my truck speedometer and odometer 'zero'd' out while in motion.this occurred multiple times, most recently while on the freeway.when it occurred on the freeway, the back wheels felt like they locked up.i pulled to the side of the road to check for flat tires, as that was my first thought.all tires check out ok.i turned the vehicle off and turned it back on.this caused the speedometer and odometer to return to normal functionality.i returned the vehicle to the dealership as i thought that the new update may not have been successful.the dealership advised that the software update process was successful and could not be redone.i read a couple of internet blogs of where other owners had the same type of issue.if the update caused other faulty parts to be exposed, i understand.however, the vehicle should not lock its tires while in motion, especially at freeway speeds as this is a serious safety issue.the picture that is attached is when the issue first occurred.the same indicators occurred the second time, when i was driving on the freeway.
We were traveling on a two lane road. We were following a slow moving tractor trailer. We had been traveling for about 3 hours. It had rained earlier and was humid. I accelerated to pass and was partially around the truck when the engine of my truck started misfiring and lost power. Luckily, i was able to limp it along and get back into my lane before having a problem with oncoming traffic. The motor in my truck is the 3.5 liter ecoboost. I have seen reports of this happening to this motor, but this is the first time it happened so dramatically to mine. I don't recall having traveled for any distance in these conditions with this truck. The truck is scheduled to have this problem looked at. It was explained to me that there are different repairs depending on how the truck is equipped. This was a very dangerous event and i believe this should have been taken care of before the incident happened. I have read of a possible recall of the trucks with these motors to rectify the problem. It is evident to me that this needs to be done before someone isn't as lucky as we were.
While traveling down the road and the need to accelerate to pass a much slower vehicle my truck lost all power and began shuddering very bad. With oncoming traffic approaching quickly i had to step on the brakes rather hard and quick to avoid a accident. What would have possibly happened if i was towing a legal but heavy load?ford has a known problem with the coils on the ecoboost and this truly needs to be addressed. This is a extremely serious traffic safety when you loose all power and the severity of the shudder that also occurs.
On repeat occasions my truck speedometer will stop working, my odometer will read zero and my vehicle will not allow me to increase speed despite stepping on the gas. In order to resolve the issue i have had to turn the truck off and on again.
While attempting to accelerate back to highway speeds after slowing down for a car leaving the highway, my truck lost power and started to shutter. The engine light was flashing andi was unable to maintain highway speeds. I exited the highway and after about 2-3 minutes i was able to accelerate normally.conditions were wet and the temperature was around 70f.
After tapping the floor accelerator the engine went to full throttle and stayed there.even after putting the vehicle in park the engine remained at 7000 rpm.outside temp was -2f.vehicle had been idling for 7 minutes prior to the incident.the event occurredwhile pulling into park at 10 mph.almost hit a parked car and building but was able to brake and put the vehicle in park. After running at full throttle in park for at least 30 seconds the engine shut down.also, the driver's side windshield wash spray stopped working a few days earlier.
Under acceleration between 60-70 mph, trucks starts shuttering and decelerating.the check engine light starts blinking and will blink for about a minute before staying on.i was nearly rear ended by a semi entering the highway today as i was trying to accelerate up to highway speed and at approximately 65 mph, the truck started decelerating and shuttering down to 35 mph before i could get enough power to maintain that speed and get off to the side of the highway.
While merging into traffic the engine began to loose power and misfire.the vehicle entered "limp home" mode, noted by a flashing check engine light. The vehicle was taken to the ford dealership and simply had the error codes cleared. Similar incident occurred few months later and the vehicle underwent recommended repair/upgrade per ford tsb including intercooler cover and reflash of computer. For past week vehicle has had persistent power loss and "shuttering" during acceleration. This not only limits the drivability of the vehicle,it also endangers the occupants when attempting to merge with traffic and crossing intersections. The dealership is aware of the problem,however there seems to be no effort to find a "complete and lasting" solution.
I should note that my truck has the 3.5l ecoboost engine.this occurred on a very cold morning (-15f) while attempting to pass a truck on a 2 lane highway, going up hill. I had been driving approximately 1 hour when this happened. As i pulled into the left lane and accelerated hard, the truck began to shutter and misfire, losing almost all power.the check engine light flashed 3 or 4 times then came on solid.i was able to drop back into the right lane behind the truck and avoid an oncoming vehicle.i limped the truck to an area where i could get off the road.after turning the truck off and restarting the engine, it ran better but not at what would be considered full power.i got to my destination about 20 minutes later, left the truck sit for about 2 hours and headed back towards home.the engine seemed to run normally at cruising speed.since that occurance, i have noticed a drop in gas mileage and intermittent misfires or shuttering of the engine when accelerating hard.i believe this has the potential to create a significant safety hazard upon acceleration to pass or to merge into traffic.this truck basically died and lost all power.this is clearly not an isolated issue, as i have read numerous complaints on various ford truck forum websites.
My family and i were on our way to disney world in orlando, florida when my 2011 ford 3.5 liter ecoboost f150 truck completely shut down on the interstate 10 highway in the middle of nowhere, probably 60 miles to the east of tallahassee florida.at first i thought that we were not going to make it, as the truck completely died out. I pulled off to the side and finally got the vehicle started. We had been steady state cruising with the cruise set at 70 for atleast 2-2.5 hours. After doing some reading i see that it was probably condensation in the intercooler that entered the intake tract when i had accelerated to go around a big truck that was barely making it up a hill on interstate 10. This was a real bad experience, this has happened atleast 2 times since then. Luckily i have not had a wreck or crashed, but as i keep reading up, i see many people complaining about the ecoboost f150. Now, i have a truck in the shop with a blown motor, and i can only imagine that the water getting into the motor and the motor trying to compress that water was what caused my engine failure. I metal from the internal rotating assembly shoot through the side of my engine block last week. I believe that happened due to the water and the water bending the connecting rods.please help.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving 65 mph, he attempted to accelerate and the vehicle decelerated to 10-15 mph. The contact stated that the vehicle performed as if the engine was not receiving enough fuel. The vehicle slowly began to accelerate up to speed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, however no failure codes were found. The manufacturer was notified and they offered no assistance. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 3,000 and the current mileage was 41,000.
Driving on highway at 70mph, i saw my speedometer momentarily drop to 40mph.it did it again about 15 seconds later, and downshifted to about 4th gear momentarily.about a minute later, still at 70mph the speedometer dropped, and the transmission downshifted to 1st gear!my rear wheels locked up, and i lost control, and fishtailed for a few seconds.luckily i had taken a half day vacation and was not in rush hour traffic.still other cars had to swerve to keep from being hit.the dearlership was able to reproduce the problem, and replaced a moulded plastic module made by continental that i think contained the transmission speed sensor.so it appears that when the transmission speed sensor signal is lost, the failure mode is to downshift to 1st gear no matter the speed of the vehicle.
2011 ford f-150.consumer writes in regards to vehicle unintended acceleration.the consumer stated the incident occurred while exiting a car wash. The vehicle accelerated on its own and would not stop, even with him standing on the brake. The vehicle stopped only after hitting a parked vehicle. The other vehicle sustained extensive damage.
Ecoboost engine stutters when accelerating. Can not pass or continue driving.
Vehicle loses power and misfires when accelerating especially at 50mph or higher.recurring problem over the years.mostly an issue when passing on two-lane highway.extremely dangerous.
Hello, we wish to file a complaint on the 3.5 l eco boost engine in our 2011 f150. We have had numerous issues of shuttering, lurching, "lag", loss of power/lack of response. We first had this issue passing a semi on a 2 lane highway july 2014, no there was no fog/rain. It immediately shuttered, shook,lurched (coughed/sputtered) loosing power as we were passing. We made maneuvers to get to the shoulder where it struggled to stay engaged. We could have been hit head on, rear ended, side-broaded by the semi or worse, a combination of all 3. Not to mention stranded. We have read of other issues, lawsuits and complaints being filed. The "shield" did not work (we have it, installed 8/2014 & flashed comp) it happened again two days in a row last week. The truck had no load either time, what if we were/are pulling our trailer? (the reason we bought this 60k truck, ford said it would) now they claim spark plugs are fowled, that is a new "fix". (not covered) however that is a separate "carbon tracking" plug issue, (the next "issue" could be the ignition plugs fowling due to carbon tracking from the moisture issue) the problem is not plugs, the major problem is moisture! ford is not addressing the moisture problem causing the "failure". They are fixing symptoms of the issue. The problem-moisture in the pistons water & engines do not mix! they have not fixed the problem which should fall under lemon law. Next there will be a terrible accident (if not fatal) due to the loss of power/response, what then? "..it was operator error, they slowed/stopped in the middle of the lane in traffic"..tests are exactly what they are; tests. We are every day life; drive the truck for transportation, not petal-metal 24/7, "grocery getters", value our truck. Since when are our lives indispensable or not important? when is any one going to do something about this safety issue before someone dies?
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while at a stop and upon acceleration, the vehicle jerked. In addition, the vehicle failed to properly shift gears. The vehicle was taken to 4 different dealers (dealer 1: bedford ford lincoln, inc., 6985 lincoln hwy, bedford, pa 15522, dealer 2: chapman ford sales, 5201 main st, east petersburg, pa 17520, dealer 3: world ford pensacola, 6397 pensacola blvd, pensacola, fl 32505, dealer 4: autonation ford fort lauderdale, fl 33304), who failed to provide a solution. The vehicle was excluded from nhtsa campaign numbers: 16v248000 (power train), 12v190000 (power train) and 11v582000 (power train). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and failed to provide a solution. The failure mileage was not available.
2011 ford f150 ecoboost - purchased july 2011. When accelerating to pass traffic or merge into traffic. The vehicle shudders and shakes violently losing all power, the check engine light flashes the goes to solid. This was taken back to ford dealership mechanics in florida and kansas 3 times now with no fix action in place. During a road trip in july 2013, (after a trip to ford) we couldn't use the cruise control due to traveling over hills would cause the vehicle to lose power constantly to the point where some hills were almost impossible to drive over, vehicles behind me were honking and complaining as it barely made it up hills.
Vehicle began shuddering heavy between 40mph and 50mph. Requiring me to depress the gas pedal heavy to avoid the shuddering, its almost impossible to drive my vehicle at 45 mph (which is the speed limit in most of the area i drive in). This occurrence is when 5th gear changing to 6th gear, which is typical between 45 mph. Not sure what damage this is doing to my vehicle, let alone the safety risk this may be causing. I have had the vehicle in the dealership at lease 6 times for this issue and with no results of the issue being resolved. Just the run around and false promises. 2011 f150 5.0 motor and 3.55 gear ratio.
While driving my 2011 f150 i got of i99 at the tyrone exit. While slowing to a stop at about 35 mph the truck shifted from 5thgear to 1st which cause the wheels to squawk and slide almost causing me to lose control, i pulled over in the bk parking lot shut it off an restarted once i put it in gear to drive it showed i was in 5th gear so i shut it off again waited a few minutes s td started it again and this time it was in 3rd so i repeated. The next time it was in first so i drove home the back roads to be safeas i got up to speed it started to act up again the speedometer show i was going 0mph but i was going 25mph again the truck slammed in an out of gear i took it to my local ford deal they diagnosed it as a lead frame hope this fixes the problem as i'm scared to drive my truck. I do have videos of when its acting up but i cant figure out how to upload them.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated whenever it is wet or damp weather the vehicles speed and acceleration decreased. The failure occurred at least eight times. The dealer did not give a reason for the failure, but stated that this was a known issue. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 3,000.the current mileage was 71,000.

The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. When the accelerator pedal was depressed, there was a sudden loss of engine power and the vehicle hesitated to the point that it could stall without warning. Capital ford (3660 s carson st, carson city, nv 89701, (775) 882-5353) was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to schedule a diagnostic appointment. The vehicle hesitated while at a stop, during acceleration, and while making a turn, which caused the contact to have to downshift. Customer service campaign program number: 15n05 (electric vacuum pump recall) was referenced as a possible cause of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.
So i went and got the recall done on it the one about the failing pcm and it dropping to first all of a sudden and temporarily losing control of the vehicle. Fortunatley every time this happens ive been going slow but there have been times when ill be going a good 60 something mph and it feels like ive hit a brick wall. So anyway i got the recall done and it was good fro a awhile but now its doing it again and when o called the dealership[ to find out what to do about it. They said i was sol and need to bring it in so they can find out whats wrong woith it fees not included...
Vehicle stalls out like it is starving for fuel when you need to accelerate. It has stalled out when passing other vehicles and when entering heavy traffic on interstates. As of july 31, 2014, the truck has been back to the dealership at least 4 times for this problem.however, i continue to have the problem.
I almost lost my life just leaving work. Made a right onto hwy & almost got smashed, no power in the peddle, with a semi coming at me full speed i'm sitting there trying to go, he blew his horn passing me in left lane... Crazy!!!!!!!this really should be a recall, not just cuz of me but for the safety of everyone!!!not cool!!! without a doubt this is a safety defect!reduced power during hard accelerationnhtsa preliminary evaluation #pe13018status:closeddate opened:may 22, 2013date closed:april 07, 2014recall:no recall issuedcomponent(s):engineengine and engine coolingsummary:on may 22, 2013, the office of defects investigation (odi) opened pe13-018 to investigate 95 complaints alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations.
We were merging onto the highway outside of st. Louis mo and when the accelerator was fully depressed the engine started to misfire and power was reduced.a blinking cel was displaying on the dashboard.it seemed as though the turbo system was not adding any extra charge to the ambient air.there was a pronounced vibration to the vehicle that seemed to originate from the engine/drive train.luckily there as not a lot of traffic at the time and our poor acceleration did not result in an accident.my solution was to manually select the gears and drive at much higher rpm.this smoothed the misfire and we had an adequate amount of power to keep up with traffic.after about 10 minutes everything smoothed out and the misfire was gone.truck behavior returned to normal.the weather that day was a pleasant 60 degrees and sunny.the previous day we drove from central ohio to st. Louis through much rain and fog.since we were on vacation and away from home we did not take the truck to a dealer to be serviced.the problem has not occurred since then.there was one previous occurrence at a previous date.i don't know exactly when it was.we were traveling home to vt from ohio.we had been driving for many hours, mostly on highway/cruise control driving.we had just gotten off the interstate highway and were on state highway.i went to pass a slower vehicle in my lane and upon depressing the accelerator the engine seemed to misfire (rpm went up but power delivery fell flat).i stepped off the gas pedal and slowly pressed a second time and this time the truck responded as expected.there was no cel this time.each of these incidents occurred with my entire family in the vehicle.we were not very happy about it and did not feel safe at the time.
This truck has a very bad habit of loosing power and throttle response after driving for extended periods in heavy rain/high humidity. This problem occurred the second day i owned this truck (original owner) and has happened several more times over the past 2 years. The most recent time it occurred i was merging onto the highway and the truck started to shake and lost all power, i ran out of room to merge and had to steer to the right of a vehicle that was in the break down lane...i had nowhere to go! my dealer has attempted the service bulletin to correct this condition but to no avail. 3.5l ecoboost is a hazard to operate under the above listed condition not only to myself but other people on the highway!
Vehicle downshifts while driving abruptly and without cause.this has occurred at highway and city speeds as well as with and without a trailer in tow.the front end still is all over the road, following tire replacement, brake replacement and alignment.
I have had this happen twice but the speedometer doesn't work and won't come out of 1st or second gear. Luckily both times it was in my driveway after i started it. Codes p0720 and p0722 came up both times which is the speed sensor problem. There is or was a recall on this year and make, model and i need it fixed please. Thank you.
Attempting to accelerate to pass a slower vehicle on the highway. Truck began shuddering and immediately decelerated to 50mph. Would not respond for approximately 75 yards, then would not accelerate over 60mph. Two vehicles (one of those vehicles was a tractor-trailer) following had to take evasive action to avoid rear-end collision. Exited the highway, put the vehicle in park. No warning lights were engaged. Weather was sunny and warm. Now vehicle is shifting very hard with a delayed engagement between 55-60mph.
My 2011 ecoboost f150 would sputter, shake and chug as i do a hard acceleration entering a highway or pass a vehicle. 4 times i have had my truck for service with the last 12 months for the same exact problem. My engine light will flash several times and then it will stay on till i take the vehicle in for service. 2 times the dealer has told me the problem is a turbo cooler issue and want to charge me $200 for some cheap lick and stick plastic air deflector. The other 2 times they have said i have a bad distribution wire and plug. First was on cylinder 3 and second time on cylinder 1. Every time this has happened on a hard acceleration, its been during heavy traffic and i have had to pull of the road to avoid an accident. I have to now be very cautious when accelerating as i feel this truck is an accident waiting to happen. I hope someone can get this recalled as i know there is a lot of these trucks out there with the same problem.
Put truck in drive start traveling down the street and then the truck down shift and jerk really hard or traveling at about 45 mph and it has a hard shirt!
Output speed sensor (oss) failure (recall: 16n02). I was driving down a city street at approximately 45 mph, when the vehicle suddenly down shifted from fifth gear to first gear and then shifted back into fifth gear after approximately 10-15 seconds. Later that day, i was accelerating from a stop light when the vehicle felt like it had lost power and began to jerk when i pressed the gas. The speedometer stopped working, the info center displayed all dashes, the rpm's increased and the service advanced trac message displayed and the engine light illuminated. I had the codes from the engine light read and it came up as p0720 fault. My vehicle is experiencing all of the signs listed in the recall, but is not included. My truck was manufactured in the dearborn plant within the time frame of the recall dates. I have contacted ford and the dealership and they could not explain why. I have attached a pdf of the recall.
Yesterday i went to pass a truck that made an illegal turn, and had to hit the gas hard to get out of the way, only did it for about 2 seconds, than when i let off the gas, the engine kept running at high speed for about another 3 seconds? and my foot was not on the pedal at that time.
On monday january 6th i started my vehicle and let it warm up then when i tried to put my truck into reverse and when i put the shift lever in reverse the electronic transmission prndl display did not indicate the letter r for reverseand thebackup lamps did not operate. After that i tried each gear and none of them were working so i put it into park and then back into drive it slammed into gear and then i was able to drive. The day before i got into my vehicle after it warmed up then put it into perverse and it did not go into reverse at all or drive.as a result i took it to midas in my town and they told me that there was a safety recall on my vehicle due to the codes and behavior so they advised me to take it to ford dealership for it to be fixed for free. I did so and i asked about a recall and they reported to me that there is no recall and they want me to pay full charges this is a safety concern that can be taken care of by the dealership and i am missing work and out of the vehicle due to this delay and i'm still making payments on my vehicle that is not safe to drive.
Accelerating onto interstate from on ramp, sudden loss of power, vehicle shuddered, lost power and speed. Vehicles around me on interstate had to swerve to avoid hitting truck. Truck gradually regained speed over next 1/4 to 1/2 mile.approximately 24 hours and 400 miles later the check engine light came on.
I was accelerating up around 45 mph and the vehicle just died to a rough idle. Car behind had to swerve to miss me. I was told this is a throttle control board and is a common problem in ford vehicles. Please tell ford to recall this problem or they will not recall this part until someone dies it looks like.
I was driving on the highway at 60 mph and my rear end locked up and it almost had a major accident. I searched on line for recalls and on the 2011s they have been having problems with the transmission. I contacted ford and they said that there are no recalls at this time. I found 5 recalls on 2011s f150:1 recall id 68928 electrical system,2 recall id 90589 exterior lighting,3 recall id 84274 structure body,4 recall id 91590 power train automatic transmission,5 recall id 90588 power train automatic transmission control module. The dealership checked my truck and told me that the valve body wiring harness is bad and therepair will cost around $850.00 to repair. The repair shop said that they have been having problems with the 2011 models but no recalls. This is a safety issue and its serious. If i had been driving 75 mph and my rear locked up on me,it would have not been good and it could have caused a major pile up including injury to myself and others and possible. This problem needs to be looked at and investigated before something happens. I appreciate your time. Thanks
When mild-accelerating to get to the highway speed limit of 75 my ford f150 ecoboost started shaking at 55 mph and at 2,500 rpm my truck starts shaking and was unable to control. I had to exit the highway and drive at a lower speed i figured it was another engine misfire that i had replaced recently on 8/2/13. I then proceed to try again on the freeway and at 55pmh it again started to shake and rattle cause me to drive on the feeder road for the remainder of my trip to work.
The cruise control does not work because of a censor either up by the steering column or the sensor by the master cylinder under the hood ! it's about a $150.00 fix but i just got this truck and started driving it so i was shocked when i was having problems so early!!for a average person that is not much but for me i live in disability it sure takes the money away from food i was going to buy so it's a hardship. I love the truck and it's great but it's hard for me to get it fixed because i rely on the cruise control to keep the same speed when going down the highway .please if there is anything you can do please let me know including sending me the part and i'll put it on it?s the cruise control sensor under the hood by the master cylinder. It release so the truck will slow down when the cruise control is turned off . Please and thank you. Have a blessed day [xxx] again thank you for your time . It's just hard for everyone right now . I know if i had the part i could fix it in 30 minutes! thank you sir or man i have talked to a lot of people and they said they are having the same problem as i am . I hope you can just send me the part if i need to buy it i sure will i?ll send the money as soon as i get the part ! please and thank you i really need your help i just don't have the cash until i get paid. Thank you again so much[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Loss of power during acceleration with ecoboost engine. I have been complaining to the ford dealerships about this since right after i bought the truck.thank you for putting this problem in the media as i am now hopeful for a resolution.i called the ford dealership this morning and they said they knew nothing about it and to contact ford.here we go again with no one in ford service departments wanting to acknowledge and resolve the problem.......
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving at 60 mph, the cruise control engaged independently.

The contact stated that the failure recurred seven times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While examining the vehicle the contact noticed that the driver side turn mirror housing had become warped due to extreme heat. The vehicle was neither diagnosed nor repaired. The current and the failure mileages were 10,000.
We bought 2011 ford f150 xlt supercrew cab on october 25, 2014. Last wednesday night,november 5, 2014, i was driving home with our two kids and turned on the rear window defroster. The light indicator didn't come on quickly. A minute or so later, popping noises came from the back cab and found out that rear right window was shattered (the right side of three pieces rear window power sliding system). Faulty rear window defroster might be the cause.waiting for dealership to see if their 90 day warranty will cover windshield replacement.
2011 ford f-150.consumer writes in regards to vehicle blend door actuator malfunction.the consumer stated when the blend door failed, the hvac system would blow hot air into the cabin.the consumer stated the cause of the problem was the blend doors gear teeth becoming brittle under normal working conditions and shearing off, which prevented the actuation of the blend door and then it became spring loaded to a full temperature condition.the blend door failed on four separate occasions.
I was driving into work had put my defroster on for the back window about 15 minutes later it sounded like something hit the roof i got to work looked at the roof then noticed my back right rear passenger window was shattered it's a electric sliding window and my infants car seat is placed right in front of that window that shattered i have seen numerous complaints my brother in law has same truck and same happened to him i called ford and they are totally unwilling to help in anyway if i replace this window the same can happen and glass can hit my son cause injuries.
Well i have an issue with my trucks i have purchased from ford.well in august of 2011 i purchased the new f150 with ecoboost.the truck drove like a dream for a while then i started having issue, with the transmission, then engine losing power.this happen about 4 time during the life of the truck.the last time was in january 2013, it was the last straw for me.the reprogrammed the trans/computer and put a wind deflector in the front of the intercool.still lost power on a road trip on the way back home from s carolina.mind you the truck was in the shop for tran/engine/the right fender had to be adjusted it was misaligned, the bed of the truck same thing.this lost of power almost caused me to have a accident because i was merging onto the highway.i also had to sunroof replaced as it was vibrating the whole truck when moving.the driver seat track was replaced and the sliding glass window in the back was replaced too.the defrost stopped then the window stopped sliding.i stopped driving the truck so i could get rid of it i have a 2013 limited and have some of the same issue.now that i have a new 2013 vehicle i experience some of the same issue.
The driver's side window was rolled all the way down and as i was driving it shattered inside the door.
Drivers side rear view mirror vibrates excessively when radio is loud or when driving at highway speeds.makes headlights appear blurry or flashing like emergency vehicle at night.dealer said ford would not pay for new mirror assembly.have had them look into it twice.upgrading the complaint to the next level with ford.
I started my vehicle on the morning of feb 8th,and turned on the rear defroster. Within 1-2 minutes i heard a pop noise and found the glass panel behind the drivers side (one of 3 glass panels) had shattered.no outside impact,it just shattered.i see doing an on-line search there are similar complaints of this problem. I contacted ford motor company and was told seeing as i was out of basic warranty,they would not be able to assist me with the cost of repairs. $625.00 + tax.
We were driving down the highway at 10:30pm going 55mph.all of a sudden, we heard a very loud bang that almost caused me to run off the road, thankfully i didn't. I pulled over to investigate and there was nothing wrong until i looked at the back glass. The back glass on the passenger side was completely shattered. Out of no where. Mind you, there was nothing wrong with this prior. I haven't even had this truck for thirty days yet and this happened. I was especially worried because my 4year old daughter was in the back seat, on the passenger side. She could have been seriously injured due to this.
Driver side rear view mirror spontaneously cracked.rear defrost does not operate. Repair is replacement of entire rear window "windshield" over $1000.00.side mirror heater does not operate.
Rear passenger side of rear slider window shattered when operating defroster when approx. 27 deg. F. No impact, but loud gunshot like sound and glass was simply shattered while driving. Luckily the glass didn't separate as i had 3 children in rear in child seats, one rear facing. This appears to be a common problem.
In park or driving the windshield wipes will not turn off on the off position. I've shut the engine on and off and they turn on as soon as the truck turns on. Do not know how to stop them.
Takata recalli have a 2011 f-150 fx4. Noticed the rear defrost wasn't coming on all the time, but it did come on and it must of gotten to hot...driving to work 11/24/15 getting on the freeway i heard a loud noise like something hit my truck on the roof. When i got to work...i looked on the roof...no damage. I noticed later that day that the back passenger side window had shattered...it must of gotten to hot from the defroster.looking on the internet...there are very many complaints about this problem.
Rear window shatters after defroster goes out causing window to break apart and fall out.rear window shattered while driving 65 on highway
As i was driving down the highway to work at 4:45 am (and nobody else on the road),i pressed the rear defroster button to clear the frost from the windows and side view mirrors.it was about 30 degrees that morning. The defroster button did not light up.a few seconds later the light flickered.immediately following, i heard a loud bang like a gunshot. When i got to work i noted the right side of my 3-piece rear window was in place but shattered.i believe the defrosting system or rear window to be faulty. I am currently waiting to hear back from ford's customer service to see if they're going to cover it.in the meantime, the window is barely in tact. The truck had 30,700 miles on it at the time of the incident. The dealership said they have never heard of this happening.however, i learned three of my coworkers had the same experience with trucks dated 2011, 2012, and 2014.online research shows we are not the only ones.come on ford own this problem!
Rear passenger window shattered after turning on rear window defrost.
This model f-150 has a known problem in that the electrical defrost on the rear window stops working.the repair is a $750 new window that ford refuses to fix, nor guarantee once they do fix it. It is happening to a lot of f-150 owners, and this is a safety concern, as thewindow will remain fogged or snow covered in winter driving months. Again, ford is aware, as this problem has affected many f-150 owners, as verified by a google search.
I started my truck and turned in the rear defrost. Approximately 2-3 minutes after starting the vehicle and activating the rear defrost i was on the roadway when i heard a loud sound and noticed my rear passenger side window was shattered but otherwise in tact. The window fractures covered the entire window. I inspected the damage and smelled what i believe was wires overheated/burning. The temperature outside was 9 degrees at the time. I believe the rear defrost likely malfunctioned and overheated the window too quickly causing it to shatter. At the time the damage occurred i was stopped at a red light.
The other day in the morning i started my vehicle and attempted to activate the defrost since there was some slight frost on my windows and it was chilly. The defrost button light would not light up indicating that it was on. In addition to that i have heated mirros and they would not defrost along with the sliding rear window. I attempted to open the window in hopes that that would clear up my visibility before i drove and it would not open. This is a safety issue in my eyes since i am unable to see out of my rear window and side mirrors with out wiping them off myself only to fog up minutes late.
While using the rear defroster,the rear window glass shattered. Research has indicated that this is a common occurrence resulting from a defect in the manufacture and assembly of the vehicle. The manufacturer has refused to honor my request for replacement of the glass.
While driving at 65mph on a highway in ga with my rear window defroster on, with an exterior temperature in the mid 50s, i heard a very loud bang which i initially thought was a rock kicked up by the vehicle in front of me. When i reached my destination, i found it was the passenger side rear window panel that had shattered due to the defroster overheating and was still intact because of the factory tint applied to the involved window. It's obvious the defroster was the cause because the spider webbing began at the corner/base of the window where the heating connections are in place and now my rear window defroster does not work when i attempt to activate it.
I turned the rear defrost on in my 2011 ford f-150 and smelt a burning smell and then heard a pop the back driver side window tile had shattered.
I turned on the truck with the remote starter.this is apparently tied into the auto defroster on the back window.as soon as i got in the car and started to drive the back window blew out for no reason.i did a search on the web and apparently this is an extremely common problem.the noise was so loud i actually thought someone shot out my window!!
The defrost button would not come on properly. Once it did, approximately 3 to 5 minutes later i heard a loud pop. That is when i noticed by looking in the rear view mirror that the rear drivers side back window had shattered.there was nothing indicating it had been struck by anything. The entire window was still intact. The outdoor temperature was around 27 degrees.2011 f150 super crew.
Rear sliding window defroster stopped working and driver's side heated seat also stopped working. Prior to heated seat stopping to work, it became so hot it actually made my leg so hot it hurt.if i was wearing shorts skin would of been burnt.at the time seat and defroster stopped working i smelled wires burning.googled these problems i saw this is a very common occurrence.took my truck to dealership, ford will fix seat , but it will cost me $100 deductible.rear window defroster is not covered by my extended warranty.at this time waiting to hear back from ford.there are at least 20-30 complaints on this site about rear defroster, ford needs to be held accountable for this defect.
I was driving down the road and all of a sudden heard a loud pop, looked in my rearview mirror and the rear window on the passenger side of the truck was shattered. The rear defroster was on upon the time of this happening, but it was not on for more than 5 minutes.
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, the rear window shattered suddenly. The vehicle was taken to an auto body shop where the mechanic diagnosed that the rear window would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.
My left panel of the rear window is shattered after turning the rear defrost on. Called ford, they will not replace.
Turned on rear power slider window defrost but defrost light would not come on. However, shortly after a loud sound like a gunshot was heard and the rear window on the passenger side was found to be shattered. Temperatures were in the 30s fahrenheit at the time. Called local dealer and they responded they do not replace rear windshields so it was replaced by local auto glass vendor.
At approximately 8 in the morning on 12/2/2018 i was at a stop getting ready to make a left turn, i had the window defroster/heat on, as well as the rear window defroster. Over the last year the rear window defroster light has illuminated intermittently but the defroster has always worked. As i started to move the vehicle, i heard a loud pop and thought someone had thrown something at my truck, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. When i got to my destination less than 5 minutes and about a mile later, i got out and looked at the roof for any sign of something hitting the roof, when i noticed a steady trail of smoke coming from the rear window area, noticed that the rubber had melted and the passenger side rear window had shattered completely. I believe this is due to an electrical short in the rear window defroster circuit, i have since removed the fuse for the rear window defroster which disables my mirror heaters. I request that nhtsa investigates this further as there have been thousands of cases of this issue and it is a known issue and ford is aware of it. It is a safety concern as it could harm a child or someone sitting in the backseat if the glass shatters and blows out of the frame as well as scaring someone causing them to react by braking, steering, etc. And possibly causing an accident. As far as i know, ford has not issued a recall and has denied responsibility. This should be addressed and fixed free of charge on ford's behalf based on the fact that it is a known manufacturer defect.
My truck was parked and running.i turned on the rear defrost and noticed the light did not come on.a couple minutes later i heard a loud pop and the drivers side rear window shattered.i went to the ford dealer as i just purchased the truck on 01/16/2015.they acted like it was an isolated incident and i didn't think much of it.i then find on the internet this is an on going issue.my son was sitting in the back seat when this happened.i feel this is a vehicle defect that needs to be addressed by ford.i also feel this is a safety issue as my son could have be injured during this incident.thank you for your attention in this matter.
On march 24, 2016 i started my vehicle and activated rear defrost as there had been some light snow build up. Within a few moments i was traveling down the road at approx 45 mph. About two minutes later i heard a loud bang that sounded like a gun shot. This was a bit startling and my reaction immediately caused me to swerve into the adjacent lane of traffic. I quickly pulled to the side of the road and noticed that the right rear window had shattered. The slider and left side did not break, only the right. This could have turned out much worse had there been a vehicle driving next to me at the time. Very scary experience and potentially very dangerous.
When i went to leave for work this morning, i tried to turn the rear defroster on and it would not turn on. After about 15 minutes of driving and slowing down to the village speed limit of 30 mph, there was a loud pop/ bang that sounded like a gunshot. I looked in my rear view mirror and noticed the driver side rear window shattered but was still in place. I pulled over to inspect it and noticed the rear defroster led light on. I have read all the complaints on this same issue and they all sound exactly the same. They all explain that it has something to do with the rear defroster and a loud pop and the rear window shattering.
It was 15 degrees outside. I used my electric start. Let the truck warm up for about 10 minutes. Went out to truck and opened the front driver door. I heard a loud noise from the back of the truck. I inspected the car and found that the back window had shattered. After doing some research online i discovered that lots of other owners are reporting this from a malfunction in the rear defrost. I was not driving and there was no other thing that could have caused my window to shatter. I live in the suburbs of minneapolis and my truck was parked in the driveway. I am just thankful this did not happen when driving down the road with my three boys. I believe ford needs to recall the rear window with slider with power defrost as this is a safety hazard.
Rear window passenger side shattered.rear defrost would sometimes come on and sometime not.suspect the window overheated and shatteres.many of these incidents reported in us and canada.
It was a cold morning and i switched on the rear window heat to clear the window. About 15 minutes later, as i was driving on the highway, there was a loud bang. It sounded like a gun had been discharged inside the vehicle. All dashboard indicators were in the normal range. As i left work later that day, i noticed that the passenger side of the rear window was completely shattered. All of the glass fragments had remained in the window frame. I believe that the window heat malfunctioned and caused the rear window to shatter. I researched the problem on the internet and found that this is a common problem with numerous complaints.
While driving at about 35mph on my road i heard what sounded like a gunshot inside the cab and then discovered that my passenger side window literally exploded. This is a known issue and seems to be related to the rear window defrost. I called my local ford dealer and they said this is not something they will replace.i'm not alone with this issue, this is happening to many f150 owners and no one is doing anything about it!
The contact owns a 2011 ford f-150. While driving approximately 5 mph and depressed the brake pedal to stop at a stop sign, the anti lock brake warning indicator illuminated. The brake pedal was pumped and the vehicle slid into the intersection. The failure recurred on two other occasions. On the third occasion, while driving approximately 30 mph, the brake pedal failed to respond when depressed. The brake pedal was pumped as the contact slid into an intersection. The contact clipped the rear of a jeep that was traveling approximately 60 mph, causing the jeep to flip over twice before landing upright. The contact and the driver of the other vehicle sustained injuries that required medical attention and were transported by ambulance. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a body shop, but the failure was unable to be determined. The damage to the vehicle was repaired. The contact also stated that when the windshield wipers were powered off, they would independently swipe across the windshield approximately every ten seconds. The contact stated that the fuse had to be removed so the windshield wipers would disengage. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 59,000.
Early one morning when it was around 27 degrees out i started my 2011 f-150 and let it run about 10 minutes to warm up. I used my remote start, which turns on the window defrosters. Within 3 min of leaving for work i heard a sound similar to a breaking light bulb. Once i got to work i happened to move my rear view mirror and noticed my driver side rear window ( 3 part, double pane motorized rear window with defrost)was shatteredon both sides (panes) i am 1 of thousands of people who apparently have had the same issue. Ford does not cover the glass on there vehicles in any way shape or form, even on there newest models, and apparently refuses to fix or rather, replace these windows when damaged by there inappropriately adjusted defroster. I believe this is a serious safety hazard.i frequently take my nephews and 2 year old niece places in this vehicle. Placed in the back seat for obvious safety reason. Now i dont even feel safe putting them in the truck at all. What do you think a 2 year old is going to do with tiny shards of broken glass? also take a glass mug, put it into the freezer for an hour, take it out and pour hot coffee into it. What does it do?these are common sense things.
Turned on the rear window defrost and the passenger side window shattered shortly thereafter while i was drivingdefinitely a defect in the defrost mechanism
The rear defrost had been acting up not wanting to work every time i'd try and use it for the last 2 months. Well on the morning of november 7 i went to warm my truck up and tried my defrost and it didn't light up so i figured well its not working. So as i'm driving down the road i notice that my back glass was completely shattered on the drivers side of the back glass. I never heard anything break and there was no other sign of impact. Just out of nowhere. So i did some research into ford f150s and back glass breaks and came across a lot of reports of people who were in fact having defrost issues. .so my best guess is the electrical in the heated glass shorted out or sent a massive power surge through the glass causing it to shatter. .either way this is a recall issue that ford should be held responsible for.
While driving rear window defogger was on and the rear passenger side glass just shattered.
Vehicle was parked overnight in the yard.the auto start was used the next morning to warm up the vehicle and defrost the windows (outside temp was +25f).after the vehicle was running for less than 10 minutes, the rear window was not defrosted.i entered the vehicle to drive to work and pushed the rear window defroster button which would not turn on.when i arrived at work i found the rear (passenger side) window had shattered.my opinion is that the defroster had shattered the window and i have read similar complaints all over this web site and the internet.i carefully covered both layers of the broken window with duct tape to keep any more of the fine glass shards from falling onto/into the rear seat.ford has yet another defective assembly on their f150 trucks!a new "feature" - shattering glass when the defroster is used.i'm glad no one was sitting back there when it happened!

My 2011 f150 rear window pane broke about 1 minute after turning on the rear defrost as i was driving down my street. This needs to be recalled as it is a very dangerous situation to have a window breaking directly over the rear seats.kids and passengers are being putin a dangerous situation by entering the backseat. This is clearly a problem as others have stated. Ford and my extended warranty will not cover the window unless it is diagnosed, however i have contacted 5 dealerships who said they are unable to diagnose a problem like this. I can no longer have anyone ride in my truck in the backseat.

Issue: rear power slide window heatedon the way to taking my son to school this morning i had my rear glass defrost on to help reduce the fog on the glass.

Upon pulling over and inspecting the glass both inside and out there was zero signs that anything had actually hit ht rear glass.

Driving down the road at 35 miles per hour, my right rear black glass shattered from the inside.my son was sitting in the back seat and thankfully he was on the opposite side.it sounded like a shot gun hit the truck.it was so loud, we pulled over and was checking each other to make sure we didn't get hit by a bullet.we soon learned it was the window that shattered for no reason.i bought this truck brand new and i keep it in great shape and spotless so it was nothing that i did wrong. I called the dealer and was told by the service manager that there was nothing he could do and i was out of warranty so this is not covered.it should be a recall because it could have caused serious injury to someone in the back seat since glass particles were falling out of the glass.the part is $667.00 and it has to be replaced out of my pocket. I am very upset after reading the internet of how many people this has happened to with their ford trucks.
Rear sliding window exploded from electric defrosters could not see out of rear window the bang was so loud i lost control for a moment there was glass everywhere in the back seat ford refuses to even look at it and the extended coverage wont cover the repair i can use the defroster when having small children in the back seats when its cold for the fear of injury to the children this is a option the cost big $$$$ and cant be used when it cold and having my grandchildren in the back seats ford needs to step up on this one its not safe for many reasons i was driving on a highway and if the children were with me it could have been deadly.

The passenger (ps) section of the rear window shattered without warning & without any external damage to the window.there was a slight frost on the windows & the vehicle was started and the rear window defroster button was depressed and would not activate. As the vehicle was driven at 25 miles per hour an loud pop noise was heard.the vehicle pulled off to the side of the road & it was noticed that the ps section of the rear window was completely shattered. The ford dealership the vehicle was purchased from was contact to see if there were any bulletins for this issue.the dealership advised that there was no bulletins for this issue however, they have seen this issue multiple times & directed me to call the ford motor company customer service line to file a complaint.the dealership also mentioned that the rear window that needed to be replaced was on back order & that additional repair locations should be contacted to replace the glass if immediate repair was needed.two additional repair locations were contacted, both of them had the rear glass on back order.a call was placed to the ford motor company customer service line with this compliant, direction was given that ford motor company was not do anything for this issue & that the incident should be reported to the insurance company for repair. The incident was reported to the insurance company & the deductible was paid to have the rear window replaced.the insurance company repair location also was aware & replaced several rear windows for this vehicle due to unexpected shattering with no external impact, some of the repairs were repeat repairs .the location also advised that the probable reason for the shattering was due to the heater element in the glass over heating overtime causing window failure & that it was possible the failure was going to happen again.
A week or two before the incident i noticed that the light on the rear defrost button no longer turned on when the rear defrost button was pressed.i wasn't sure if the rear defrost was working or not.on the morning of the incident it was cool outside and the windows were frosty.i pressed the rear defrost button after starting the truck and it once again did not light up.i started driving to work with my two kids in the back seat.after driving a couple miles i heard a loud noise as if something had hit the truck. I looked in all the mirrors to find what had hit the truck and noticed that the passenger side of the rear window had shattered.it hadn't fallen out of the frame, but was spider-webbed throughout.when i took the truck to the dealer the service manager said he had seen 5 other 2010-2011 f-150's just this winter with the exact same issue.this should be considered a safety issue.from other complaints that i've read the window does sometimes shatter out of the frame and into the cab of the truck.if it had done so in this instance it would have fallen in the face of my 11-month old son sitting directly under it.

Like a branch or rock hit the roof of the truck in the back passenger side.heard a crackling sound and the rear window on the passenger side had shattered. The window is divided into 1/3 and the 1/3 on the passenger side is shattered.all of the other windows appear to be ok. After some inspection, nothing hit the truck! i was driving in a open area, so nothing could have fallen on the truck from above.

Used automatic starter today around 4:30pm.the temp today was in the 20s here in western maryland.while driving home i noticed the rear window passenger side panel was completely shattered.upon inspection there was no impact area.just the entire panel was very spider webbed.i will be contacting ford before i file an insurance claim.this is absolutely a defect with the design of these windows.ford needs to recall these before a child gets injured from shattered glass.my kids heads are very close to this glass.i'm sure if this happened when traveling at a high speed it could cause any injury.ford needs to step up and address this before it becomes a big lawsuit.
This afternoon i got into my vehicle. After starting my vehicle i then proceeded to turn my rear defroster on.

I was driving to the gym about 10 minutes from my house. When i got there, i put my truck in park, turned it off, gathered my things, and then heard this crazy loud popping/cracking noise. The rear passenger side window just shattered!!! i have a 2011 f-150 with arear window defroster and power sliding rear window. This is the first winter i have lived somewhere cold and used that rear defroster, which per searching online for answers, appears to be the culprit. I also talked to a few glass companies when calling around for quotes to replace the window and they all said i'm not the first f-150 owner with the same problem. Grrr. There are a couple dozen other complaints out there too for the exact same thing for the exact same window all because of a stupid rear defroster glitch. This is ridiculous! i had the window looked at to see if something had hit it and caused it to shatter but there was no evidence of this so i'm blaming the p.o.s. Defroster. The window blew out on my way back home so there was shattered glass in the back of my bed. Only $600 to get it fixed. No big deal.. Not! happy birthday to me!>=[ and that was the cheapest quote. I had quotes from $600-$950. Oy. This is b.s. Also, the design of this rear window is terrible when it comes to replacing it. As i have recently found out, you cannot replace the left or right rear window by themselves. If the left and/or right window shatters (because of a crappy defroster or other crappy reasons) you have to replace the entire rear window, hence the $600 bill for one broken window. It the middle window breaks you can replace that by itself but if the window on either side breaks, you are s.o.l. I called a few dealerships too to see if they could do anything. Nope. Nobody gave a hoot. Boo ford, boo. I was so happy with my truck until this.once again,>=[
While driving down that highway one of my back glass shattered. Glass shavings flew all over my back seat. I was using the rear defrost.

Husband used remote start to warm-up 2011 f-150 while leaving work. Temperatures were in the 20's. After driving about a mile down the road, he noticed that the back window had shattered / spider-webbed on the passenger section. This is a 3 section back glass, with the sliding window. Ford dealership unresponsive to inquiry, but that is normal for this dealership. We paid out of pocket to replace the back glass / window.
My passenger side rear window shattered yesterday in my 2011 f150 with $87,500 miles on it! the light on the rear defrost button has recently quit working. Anyways it was pouring rain yesterday when i left my hunting club and my windows were fogged up. I pushed the button to see if the light would magically start working and it didn't. After that i forgot about it until 3/4 of the way home when i heard a loud pop like a rock hitting the windshield. Shortly thereafter i noticed the rear glass looked like a spider web. Anyways i took it to my local dealership who is usually good about helping me out but they said ford wouldn't do anything and told me to take it to a auto glass store.the temperature out side was 47 degrees f and it was raining when it occurred.
After auto starting my truck on the morning of december 14 2016. Upon departing my house, i heard a loud popping noise. However i was not able to verify where it came from until i arrived at my destination. I noticed a pattern on my sliding rear window on the drivers side. Upon further investigation i discovered the window was shattered all though it was still in one piece. While researching methods of repair i discovered that this has happened over 70 times.in previous complaints it has been said that this could possibly be attributed to faulty construction or an electrical system failure that could cause a fire. I feel this is a driving hazard for both driver and occupants due to the possibility of minute glass fragments getting in eyes and causing injury and possibly a fatal accident. Therefore i feel that an immediate recall is necessary. People have lodged complaints since 2010 until present. Injury would occur if the window was to blow outcausing injury or accident to other vehicles or persons following mine or others vehicles (motorcyclist).
Vehicle was parked in a parking lot. Left side of rear window was shattered at the end of the day. The glass was obviously stressed by the heat and broke outwards ( pressure built inside of cab and pushed glass outwards). If someone was sitting in that seat and the glass shattered that person could get hurt/cut. Looking on-line (google search) there are many instances of this happening. Ford will not warranty issue claiming (outside forces) caused the issue. Maybe you should never park your ford truck outside?

Took my car in for service and the dealership advised that all my lug nuts needed to be replaced because they were swollen and were very difficult to remove.the service adviser at the dealership said that this is a common occurrence.i asked that all 24 lug nuts be returned. When they were returned the service tech who worked on my truck also said that the lug nuts were a poor design.

The transmission does not go in reverse, transmission shift lever sequence starter interlock, and transmission braking effect.

Steering wheel shakes real bad on stopping the harder the stop the worse it shakes this truck has 16000 miles on it now and the problem seems to have started after the 1st service and tire rotation (about 8500 miles) although it did not start immediately after but rather seemed to get worse over time from that pointi believe that it is warped brake rotors possibly from cheap or defective oem parts the truck has never been off road or abused just daily drive to from work 19 miles each way.
The factory lug wrench provided with the vehicle does not fit the factory lug nuts on the wheels.this makes it impossible to change a flat tire without roadside assistance or having to purchase a separate lug wrench and hammer.
