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…

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'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…

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…

It eventually gave me a maint…

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…

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…

While passing a semi on a two lane highway my ecoboost f150 began to shutter and loose power. I understand you have already investigated this issue and determined it was not a safety issue. After my experience today i respectfully disagree, let me explain. When this happens while passing someone and you're forced to slow down while in wrong lane. This can be quite scary, cars coming at you, cars behind you also…

Upon downshift during acceleration, the truck shudders, misfires, backfires through exhaust system, and loses power while creating a violent shake in the drivetrain. This occurs in below 35 dry or wet weather. This issue destroyed my catalytic converters, as well as broke loose the baffles in factory muffler causing over $2,000 in repairs for exhaust. I further replaced plugs, and plug boots. The vehicle continues…

Vehicle shutters and bucks severally and does not allow any type of acceleration to be able to exit into slow lane interstate traffic.

This is a ecoboost engine. When i go to pass someone the engine starts sputtering as if it is going to cut off. Loses power and is very dangerous. I noticed where this was under investigation but that has been dropped. Someone is going to be killed. This happens to me frequently. Seems like it happens in damp or humid weather. In most cases if it is a gradul acceleration it doesn't happen. I have owned the truck for…

When the turbo boost is 11psi misfiring begins - no after market engine programming. If turbo demand is not reduced, or is increased the engine light will come on and the transmission will be disengaged - 'limp mode.' on the date cited, this happened no less that 3 times. Local humidity was 50-70%, as i recall, and there was no rain. I have experienced this multiple times with local humidity noted at 50 %. My…
