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…

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…

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…

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 to get 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…

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…

While driving at a constant speed you 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 off a busy interstate. I found a service bulletin from ford and they…

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,…

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…

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…

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. *tr

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…

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. *tr
