Wrench (check engine) comes on for unknown reason and vehicle looses all throttle ability! has come on 7 times. has occurred driving at 25 up to 65 mph. today i was in the fast lane wrench came on and shut down throttle. i managed to cross 3 lanes in traffic. each time this has occurred i've stopped and shut off the engine. the restarted & runs fine. taken to ford as well as private mechanics but no codes saved. has happened 6 times. ford told me they cant fix without a code.
Fuse #27 burnt up and vehicle would not start because that fuse controls the fuel pump. this issue was addressed in tsb 15-0137. incredible to believe that something this simple has not been a recall for driver safety. vehicle luckily was not in motion when it happened. this most likely would not be an item located in a vihicle incident....so there is a good chance you have no idea how many deaths this has caused.
While accelerating quickly, but not so much as to spin the tires, the vehicle started "bucking". i was doing about 35-40 when it got pretty bad. the engine felt as if it was stopping and starting very quickly. it was actually pretty hard to control and it causes the truck to not allow me to accelerate onto the highway or even reach highway speeds. the check engine light started flashing and did not stop flashing for about 2 minutes. the truck would also not let me accelerate for that amount of time either.
Traveling 50 mph on a 4 lane road when engine shut off. had power to vehicle but no steering or brakes. i was able to get off the 4 lane highway successfully. the truck would turn over but not crank, after sitting 90 minutes, it cranked. took to ford dealership the next morning. they said it was the #27 fuse that controls the fuel pump. put a kit in to move the #27 fuse to an isolated location so it wouldn't get hot and malfunction. the cost was $250. i asked it there was a recall and they said no. i said someone is going to get killed because this is dangerous. the response was we have been getting a lot of these. i was lucky and was able to get off the road. the next person might not be as lucky. something needs to be done before someone is fatally injured.
While driving on major highway i lost power to my 2013 f150 6.2l. i had a tractor trailer on my right side and a jerk tailgating me. i finally managed to get the vehicle to the breakdown lane. i really thought i was going to be in a major accident.
Just outside of 60.000 mi warranty truck threw a code p2112. paying for it out of pocket i bought new tac unit and installed and cleared code truck ran fine up till 144.ooo mi .then began clattering upon 1st start up after sitting several hours .they said that it needed new timing set and tensioner. i bought and installed and replaced all timing componants. truck also began showing codes p2112 again and will only cut out while vehicle is in motion and under a load ..cylcle key and will start and drive a block and repeat only this time it throws the p2112 code and as long as the check engine light is on the truck wont stall as before.
My truck failed to start, and when i investigated the issue i found fuse 27 (located in the battery junction box at the front of the engine bay) melted causing circuit for the fuel pump to open which left the truck without a functioning fuel system (fuse 27 is part of the circuit for the fuel pump). replacing the damaged fuse resolved the issue while a more robust solution is determined. if this had happened during operation the vehicle would have lost power, been unable to steer due to an electric assisted steering system and become a hazard for other vehicles while putting the occupants of the truck, and any vehicle that collides with it, at risk for injury or death. ford issued a technical service bulletin (tsb 15-0137), but this is not commonly known outside of vehicle-specific social media platforms on the internet (https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1449733-tsb-15-0137-fuel-pump-fuse.html). ford knows about the issue and the consequences are obvious. the fix ford recommends is inexpensive (under $30 in parts) and not very time consuming (0.6 flag hours).
Driving on major highway, 65-75 mph, lost engine power and had to pull over, trying not to cause a wreck, and stopped between busy highway and on-ramp to the highway. found that the engine had stalled and wouldn't restart. found #27 fuse melted. changed fuse and was able to restart engine. i don't like repairing ford's engineering mistakes, nor do i like being put in danger because of them. i use this truck for work and have a lifetime's accumulation of specialty tools kept in this truck for my job. if the truck goes up in flames, will ford replace what is lost? the way this fuse, fuse box, and the connection has failed looks as there can potentially be a fire. in my case, there was an interruption in normal traffic flow, at high speed, that could a resulted in a wreck, injury, death, etc. i will fix this, probably on my own dime. what i don't understand is why is this not required to be fixed by ford. it's an obvious safety hazard that even ford has acknowledged and provided a tsb to address the problem.
The truck shifts into emergency mode while driving and i have to pull over and stop shut off vehicle and restart. while in idle the vehicle shakes. it is at the ford dealer in beatrice nebraska and they have stated that the electric throttle body needed replaced... 400$ repair. also, air conditioning compressor went out 1500.00 repair on a 2013 vehicle!
Car started to rust quick had air bubles built up on vehical went to the nearest dealer to get that done they told me they cant do anything about it when i bought the car and the speed sensor they dont want to fix it for dealer is located on rt 30 in plainfield.and my feul meater on the dasboard is inacurate
Throttle body problems. i have 2015 f-150 ecoboost and for the 2nd time in 14 months have had to have my throttle body replaced. the engine dies while accelerating on the highway typically between 55-70mph and the wrench comes on. i have the coast the car off the side of the road avoiding speeding traffice, bring the car to a stop on the side of the highway and then turn the car off and on and it works. i've had it happy as many as 19 times on one trip.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. while driving and accelerating from a stop, the transmission malfunctioned and hesitated to shift into gear. there was also a shifting delay. the vehicle was taken to lou fusz ford (2 caprice dr, chesterfield, mo), but the failure could not be diagnosed. the contact also indicated that the fuel filler neck was faulty and caused fuel to spill out when refueling. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 60,000. the vin was unknown.
When i accelerate on the highway to merge or pass my truck looses power completely can not accelerate. it shudders for about 45 seconds check engine light comes on flashing and it suddenly comes back to life. i took it to my local ford and they said it was a high pressure pump that needed to be replaced. i replaced it and it is still having the same issue. this seems to be a common issue with these trucks. the more research i have done the more i find about this same issue. ford should be held liable and recall these trucks for this problem. i now have to take it to another ford dealership hoping they can figure it out. last ford truck i will ever own.
Due to throttle body failure, the truck has gone into a "limp" mode several times. needless to say for the truck to suddenly stop accelerating when on the highway or even when taking off from a stop sign could be deadly. i wonder how many people are dead because of this and were not able to tell anyone the accident was due to the failure and not because of their driving. not sure i want my wife or kids to drive anything made with ford's throttle body design. i see there was a customer satisfaction program 13n03 to fix throttle body problems instead of a recall. needless to say this customer is not satisfied.
I have a 2013 f-150 ecoboost. i was driving about 50 mph last night, 12/3/18 when it suddenly downshifted, causing the rear brakes to lock and tires squealed. i lurched forward in the seat. the speedometer went down and then back up to 50. it lasted all but seconds. i was able to drive home. i have left it in the garage since it is unsafe to drive at this point until i can get it to the garage. thankfully the road was dry otherwise i would have skidded out of control. i have about 110,000 miles on the truck. this has not happened before. the past few weeks however it has occasionally not shifted out of 1st or has started in 5th gear. this has been sporadic only. occasionally, when i start off, it will lurch forward. the vehicle has been maintained and has generally been a very good performing vehicle.
