I drove my f-150 eccoboost truck to the snow, same area i have been hundreds of times and suddenly smoke burst from the engine, then flames shot out around the hood, popped the hood and fought the fire for half an hour, it kept restating. It stranded myself and children, and we had a harrowing experience that was pretty dicey. Ford had just put in a new engine, at my cost, +14,000.00, after the timing chain failed.…

With our children in the vehicle, we have been in fear for their lives as we have had to quickly steer the vehicle out of the…

While accelerating up a hill traveling about 45mph the vehicle suddenly lost power and went into "limp home" mode. Fortunately i had enough momentum to make it to a side road as the country road had no shoulders. After shutting off the engine and restarting, everything ran normally again. Potentially very dangerous situation. Online search points to possible issue with the electronic throttle body.
