The issues started around mid july 2016 with about 11-12k miles. I was turning onto a side road where doing maybe 10 mph and the engine stalled, it restarted while in motion and i continued. The hill start assist and advance trac warning lights came on. Later that week it happened repeatedly. The dealership here in town (not where i bought it) looked at it for a few days, they thought it was because of, "all the…

The throttle body failed while traveling on i-94 in a single lane construction zone during a severe rainstorm. The throttle body is a part that controls the air intake on the engine and when it fails the engine loses power and cannot pull a trailer. The engine does not stall, but it does shudder enough to shake the vehicle. I turned the vehicle off and upon restart could move out of traffic. This occurred two more…

Windshield cowl panels leak rain water into top of the engine where the two cowl pieces meet in the middle. I suspect looking at other 2015 and 2016 f150 models they have or will have the issue of leaking water onto the engine. Besides possible corrosion or damage to engine, this could cause the engine to stall and maybe a safety problem.

The first time i noticed the problem was when i went to pass another vehicle. I did a hard acceleration to pass and my 2015 f150 3.5 ecoboost engine stalled in the passing lane on a 2 lane highway. I was doing 45 mph. I immediately got back into my lane behind the vehicle i was passing. After that incident i have occasionally accelerated hard to see if the engine would stall. Sometimes it would stall and sometimes…

This vehicle has the 'stop/start feature;' which actually shuts off the engine when at a stop and is supposed to 'restart' when the gas pedal is depressed; the 'electrical systems' are supposed to be operative; how power brakes are 'electrically operated' is beyond my comprehension; however, a few days after purchase i was at a stop lite when the engine shut off, and eventually re-started' by itself; the dealer…

New 2015 f150 with a vibration/ shudder coming from what feels like the transfer case or possibly the drive shaft. Happens when trying to shift from gear to gear, and on inclines...feels like it is going to stall. Also happens when just cruising at certain speeds. I've had it to the dealer twice and they say everything is fine but they have felt the same problem with this vehicle and ones on their lot. Vibration…
