    2014 f-150 3.5l ecoboost. Engine will completely lose power and go into "limp mode" with orange wrench. Dealer claims they cannot retrieve problem code so i bought a obd scanner and dtc code reads as p2112. This is the second time i will have to get the electronic throttle body replaced. The first time the truck had approx. 62,000 miles on it, this time it has approx. 111,000. This is absolutely ridiculous. Both…

    Throttle body went out after 40,000 miles. Driving down the road wrench icon pops up and a few seconds later the truck stalls and engine cuts out. Take it to ford and that part is not covered under my extended warranty.. Big surprise. Talk to customer service and there is nothing they will do either. So out 600 because ford knowingly sells these vehicles when they know that thousands of people are having the exact…

    Turbo went in the truck which then cause engine and transmission damage. Mechanic says the engine, transmission, and turbos need to be replaced quoting over 10k. Also, a neighbor had a 2014 f150 do the same exact thing around the same mileage and i thought that was very odd.
