This is on the ecoboost f150. I was driving during a rain and had been around 70 miles. The weather was rainy. I went to pass a farm tractor on a [redacted] and the vehicle stuttered and had no power to pass. I had to take evasive action and get back into my lane where there vehicle continued to sputter for approximately another 2 minutes. I took truck to ford and they replaced a converter and cooler. Last wednesday…

We were merging onto the highway outside of st. Louis mo and when the accelerator was fully depressed the engine started to misfire and power was reduced. A blinking cel was displaying on the dashboard. It seemed as though the turbo system was not adding any extra charge to the ambient air. There was a pronounced vibration to the vehicle that seemed to originate from the engine/drive train. Luckily there as not a…

Yesterday i went to pass a truck that made an illegal turn, and had to hit the gas hard to get out of the way, only did it for about 2 seconds, than when i let off the gas, the engine kept running at high speed for about another 3 seconds? And my foot was not on the pedal at that time. *tr

My truck is equipped with the ecoboost 3.5l engine. Twice now i have attempted to accelerate and had the truck lose power and shake violently, creating a very dangerous situation. The first time was attempting to pass another vehicle. Weather conditions were warm (75 degrees f) with light rain. I pulled out to pass and attempted to accelerate when the truck suddenly acted as if the gas was shut off. It then began to…

Poor gas mileage. Window sticker says 23 mpg highway, best i ever got is 16 mpg,with cruise set at 65 mph on flat level highway. Had at dealer, 4 times, they updated computer, changed turbo intercooler and they still cant improve my fuel economy. Around town i get 12 mpg. Bad turbo lag when pulling out low power, dealer said its how turbos work. Doors rattle, speakers crackle, rear end springs make a creaking sound.…

Engine, the turbocharged v-6 ecoboost, stalled out (tried to die and shook and and shuddered like nothing i have ever experienced in 50 years of driving) when attempting to pass a truck on the interstate and again when pulling away from an exit stop sign after traveling in cold rain. Glad i was on a freeway vice two lane road. Takes about 15 to 20 seconds for the engine to get power back. Also it did the same thing…

At about 30 mph while accelerating the engine will cut out and lose power. It will chug, cutting in and out for a few seconds before picking up. This also happens randomly when going up an incline. We have been put in a few dangerous situations by this before but thankfully nothing serious has happened. Took it to ford dealer where we bought it and they told us nothing was wrong. We took it back 2 more times and…

The ecoboost version that i own has an apparently "known" problem within ford where condensation builds up because of the turbocharger intercooler to the point that when you need to accelerate heavily to avoid a problem, to pass someone, or simply to get on a busy street or freeway, the truck sucks all that water into the engine and it completely misfires similar to just running out of gas. When this happens it can…

Driving down a two lane road in the early evening, i was 3 or 4 cars back in a long line of over a dozen vehicles. We were all stuck behind one slow moving vehicle. A chance came up to pass and i pulled into the other lane. After stepping on the throttle the truck developed a misfire. It lost nearly all power and began decelerating. In the time since pulling out to pass, a semi truck had popped up over an upcoming…

Tl* the contact owned a 2011 ford f-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle hesitated to accelerate. The failure recurred intermittently at different speeds. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnosis three different times. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure. Additionally, the contact stated that the fuel gauge would not display accurate fuel readings. The…

While entering a highway via an on-ramp doing about approximately 45 miles per hour i attempted hard acceleration to pick up speed and merge in to traffic that was doing approximately 65-70 miles per hour. When i depressed the throttle the vehicle did not accelerate, but it started to hesitate and shake. The check engine light came on and the vehicle would not go over 40 miles per hour. This almost caused an…

Under hard acceleration into traffic or when passing, vehicle will suddenly lose power and go into a "limp mode." this condition is thought to occur because of engine misfire and several factors have been identified that can cause this in the ecoboost 3.5l v6. The dealer has replaced ignition coils with no success in correcting this issue. My service manager shared with me that ford engineering is well aware of the…

Driving on new years day, i was traveling and needed to accelerate onto an expressway. As i pressed on the throttle pedal my ford f150 2011 seemed to lose power for a second or two before regaining power again. This was the first time i can recall, but it happens each time i press the throttle all the way down for acceleration. I have learned that my f150 is not reliable enough to attempt to pull out unless traffic…
