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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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 they said it was…

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…
