Fuel/Propulsion System
When fueling the fuel nozzle became stuck in the capless fuel system. When we finally got the nozzle out (after 15 minutes) the flap was broken. We took it to ford dealership and they said it was not covered under warranty due to people shoving the bigger diesel nozzles in, this was a regular auto diesel nozzle that was used.

My truck has 15,000 miles on it. The acceleration will run away frequently (press the pedal and there is a severe lag and lack of power). There will be random engine noise when decelerating around 45 miles per hour. Also, acceleration will be rough when going from 20-30 miles per hour just before the it shifts into a higher gear. I took this to the ford dealer and they said there are no error codes on the trucks…

The engine sometimes stumbles on light acceleration like it is starving for fuel. I hit the gas, the engine starts to respond, then acts like it is going to stall. I let off the gas and hit it again, same thing. I have traveled as much as 500 ft. Before the engine responds properly. Dealer can't find anything, as it is random and doesn't produce a fault code. Doesn't matter if the engine is hot or cold. Happened…

I have had two run away full accelerations in this new truck. I accelerated firmly and the accelerator refused to disengage. At over 90 mphm i put the car in neutral, the rpm increased and i shut off the key. Next time in the same drive it happened again and i immediately shut off the key. I will notify my dealer tomorrow. I will not drive in this vehicle again. As an experienced commercial pilot i have been trained…

Vehicle stalls whenever coming to a stop after towing for more than an hour. Requires the vehicle to be placed in park to restart, but will continue to stall out immediately. Dangerous at intersections and stop-and-go traffic. Also stalls (when towing) when attempting to restart after refuelling. Only way to get the vehicle to start without stalling it to keep the gas pedal pressed to keep the rpm above 1500; or…

Same issues i'm reading here. Vehicle frequently makes a loud bang when started. Shifts gears extremely rough to the point where you're jerked around. No power when trying to accelerate from a stop which is extremely dangerous when cars are behind you or trying to accelerate merging onto the freeway. My truck has been to dealer twice now. The first time it was because my fuel injector went out at 4,500 miles! It…

This issue is happening widespead amongst owners of ford's new 3.5l high output powertrain. Upon open throttle, the engine will instantly drop off all power, causing the truck to dangerously and unexpectedly drop to zero miles per hour. Very dangerous and life threatening while entering roadways or interstate roads with traffic. Upon open throttle, a "low oil pressure" light takes over the viewing area on the dash…
