Made a turn at an intersection with my kids and my f150 ecoboost lost power. I thought we were gonna get hit. I have had my 2013 f150 into the local ford dealership 3 times for this issue. They tell me to drive it they are waiting for a new computer program from ford. Engine lite has been on for a month or more. Dealership keeps giving it back. Waiting on program. Vehicle i feel is not safe.

Motor warning light lit up and stayed on. Went to an auto zone and their computer showed fuel vapor leak. I was first told the gas cap may be letting out fumes but i have the capless gas input. The truck doesn't act any different but the warning light was a concern to me.

Fuel fill inlet my truck recently displayed a warning that says "check fuel fill inlet". I've searched the internet and many ford owners have experience this issue across several models. I've checked the inlet and it is closed as it should be, i've cleaned the area in and around where the fuel nozel goes and there is no debris. This warning causes the "check engine" light to come on and thus generates an…

The 'check fuel inlet' warning randomly comes on although no debris is in the inlet and the fuel door spring and gasket are in good working condition. The happens randomly when i turn the vehicle on but is occurring more and more frequently.

For the second time in 9 months the throttle body on my ford truck failed. This time it presented a real hazard as we were towing our travel trailer and it's failure put us in a precarious situation as we're trying to merge onto the interstate. The ford dealer fixed it the first time under the extended warranty then the second repair they tried to evade payment. However, after extensive discussion, they found a it…

While driving down the highway, the vehicle flashed service advance trac, down hill descent control fault, trailer brake module fail and a couple more codes. All electonics in vehicle went blank, including all controls/gauges. Before doing so, last code read, shift to park. Almost caused me to have an accident, because the power steering went out and nearly pulled me into another vehicle. The acceleration is bad…

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 60 mph, the power seized without warning. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage and vin were not available.

Ford is aware that on certain vehicles, the fuse controlling the fuel point eventually melts due to the fact that the original location (7) in the fuse bar, is to weak to handle the load going to the fuse. Ultimately and at a possible untimely time and location, it kills the fuel point causing potential life threatening non control of the vehicle. See this post:…

Model year 2009-2014 f150's have an issue with fuse 27 under the hood getting hot and melting. Fuse 27 is for the fuel pump relay. This causes complete loss of power while driving or a no start situation. Ford has issued a tsb for this issue, but in my mind it should be a recall. If the fuel pump stops, you lose all power no matter where you are, even if in heavy traffic on the interstate. This could also be a fire…

Truck went into limp mode upon acceleration due to faulty throttle body- while pulling onto main highway with a speed limit of 50 mph, truck stalled. Fortunately, i was able to coast to the side of the road and avoid a rear end collision. This happened three times in two days and produced an obd code on the third occurrence. I turned the truck into my local ford dealership and they replaced the throttle body under…

At times my 2013 f-150 would kill and other times would be non responsive at idle while traveling. The first time it happened was while i was trying to merge onto the interstate, while merging onto the 70mph interstate the truck immediately lost power after driving over an uneven area of asphalt; however 3-4 seconds later the throttle response returned to normal. Weeks go by and i am traveling across 22 mile…

Vehicle engine light on. Code error of p2112. Noble ford service replaced the throttle body and motor assembly. This part is not warranty i found out. It should be as i find it could fault and leave you in a limp mode. Not good. Noble ford charge $ 338.41 to replace the throttle body and motor assembly. Ouch.

A critical 20 amp fuse that gives power to the fuel relay which powers the fuel pump blew rendering my vehicle in operable. It would not start at all. This is a known issue to ford motor company. They have a tsb also known as a technical service bulletin 15'0137. This "fix" merely relocates the fuse so that the known potential for failure does not melt the fuse housing. This does not solve the problem of why the…

Driving on a city street the truck started shaking and loss all acceleration, it showed a wrench on the dash screen, coasted to a safe place and turned truck off. It restarted fine. Approx 30 mins later on the highway it did the same thing, started shaking, no acceleration and the wrench showed up. Again coasted to a safe spot and restarted. Took it to the dealer the next day and they say nothing is wrong, but that…

While driving my 2013 ford platinum f-150 at approximately 35 mph going straight on a town road heading to the highway, the wrench service light came and and instantly putting the truck into "limp" mode only allowing me to drive 5 mph. I am lucky not to be in highway traffic. I did have my family with me heading on a 5 hour journey. Completely unsafe! After a few restarts the same wrench light came on as well as the…

Throttle body failed on my pickup while driving. Went into limp mode and engine wouldn't rev up. Had to shut off and restart multiple times in order to make it to the shop. Scanned it and had code p2112 throttle body stuck closed. Replaced throttle body and seems to be ok now. Glad i was just putting along when it happened or it could have been a disaster.

Vehicle runs great most of the time, but when driving at highway speeds for a couple of hours in the rain, snow, humid or misting conditions, the truck will sometimes loose power and start shaking/stuttering when accelerating to pass another vehicle, or when climbing a hill. Most of time, it is a very slight shudder but when under heavy throttle, the engine will start cutting out, loose power and speed, and the…

This has been…

After towing truck to dealer after a crank no start, the dealer diagnosed the problem as melted fuse f27 which powers the fuel pump. Surprisingly this fuse has melted often enough that ford has a specifically designed rework kit p/n el3z-14293-a which relocates the fuse to a different spot in the fuse box where a physically larger but identical amperage fuse is used. After doing some research, some of the other…
