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 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 ...
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
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.
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 ...
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.
Tl* 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.
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). *tr
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!!!
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 these issues, which ford clearly knows about. i know for a fact i am never buying a ford again, my ...
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 ...
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
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.
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.
