Driving in 5:00 rush hour traffic and accelerating from a red light when my ford truck entered into a "limp home" mode (wrench icon and oil lamp appeared) it stalled out. I was able to coast into a parking lot even though i had no power steering or brakes. Eventually, i was able to…

Vehicle vibrates and hesitates to accelerate to the point where the truck engine will shut off around 1500 rpm on both highway speed and normal street speed. I took it to a local ford dealership, and they said there's nothing wrong with it or maybe they just don't know where it's coming from since the engine light is not on.

My 2010 ford f150 has approx. 30,4xx miles on it and has been maintained perfectly. In a brief summary, going in to work early (5am) potentially saved me from having a wreck to due a faulty throttle body.

This caused my vehicle to become nearly stranded as i was…

Vehicle would stall at random while driving. Mechanics at ford advised that it was relay wire or harness wires for the airbag sensors that ran through the fuel tank were corroded or shorted out. They reported that the engineers at ford made a bad call when they decided to run the wires through the fuel tank, which in turn resulted in me having to dish out 1500 bucks for the repair.

Truck stalls intermittently. Usually it is while coming to a stop but occasionally it is while making a slow turn. This means the power steering goes as do the brakes. Very scary. The engine codes have been checked and since they do not show anything the truck is considered good. Yet it continues to stall. *tr
