I was driving in heavy traffic, on a downtown street, when the truck suddenly cut off, loosing some braking and steering. The truck would not restart. I pushed it out of the travel lanes and had it towed to my ford dealer. The dealer finds a burnt fuse receptacle for the electric fuel pump. Then i discover they have known about this problem, created a repair kit, but failed to notify owners this is happening. I…

The electronic throttle body failed at 40,000 miles while driving the car in traffic. I had no control over the vehicle speed, as the gas pedal did not respond, and the car slowed to about 5 mph. I managed to get out of traffic without a collision. I checked online and found this is a very common complaint for ford 3.5l engines. My truck has the 3.5l eco-boost engine. *tr

Throttle was completely lost. Truck would only run around 5 mph maximum. Would not take throttle at all. This is a very dangerous condition when in a high traffic and multi lane setting where all the other vehicles are running at high speeds. It is also very dangerous when pulling a 7000 lb trailer with no or extremely limited pull offs for emergencies such as this. It creates a very real possibility of death. This…

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The vehicle was being refueled when the metal stopper within the fuel tank did not engage and fuel spilled out of the fuel tank. The contact was unable to insert the fuel pump nozzle because the capless entry point was blocked by the metal piece in the fuel tank. The dealer informed the contact to force the nozzle into the fuel tank. The contact did not heed the dealer's…

The following occurred in a 2013 f150 platinum with 12,000 miles on it. While accelerating from a traffic light, the car lost power and stuttered and fell into limp mode. You could not drive over 10 mph. This has been just one of many similar incidents. I have taken the car in several times but ford cannot replicate the problem, so they will not fix anything. Recently, the car just misfired while driving around…

Vehicle will not start when parked on a decline of approximately 8% and fuel level below 1/4 of tank or less than 100 miles on fuel warning indicator. Low fuel warning light comes on and vehicle will not start until on level ground. I am not comfortable traveling off-road or in mountains if fuel level is below 1/4 tank as this issue may cause vehicle to stall resulting in an accident or being stranded. *tr

This vehicle stalled out while passing another motorist a few days after we purchased it. We returned to the dealership where it was purchased and we were told by their service department that the truck had a recall on the inter cooler system. We were not aware of any problems occurring with this motor prior to purchasing. The inter cooler was "replaced" several months later and the vehicle still stalls and check…

When first accelerating early in the morning the truck accelerates suddenly when 1st taking off. This really became a problem when someone stepped in front of me, the truck took off and then i had to stop suddenly. I have reported to ford and taken it in twice, but they insist no one has had this problem. The motor's rpm fluctuates about 200-300, then settles down.the visibility has been a problem since day one.…
