I just returned from my Ford dealership today after my F-150 stopped cold and went into limp mode while I accelerated up a hill on hwy 78 in red lodge, mt. The dash lit up with a hill descent control and several other error messages. This would have been catastrophic if I had been accelerating while passing. The forums are full of similar problems and dealerships know they need to replace the throttle body. This should definitely be a safety recall.

Truck unexpectedly lost power while driving on state highway. Dash lit up with service advancetrac, hill descent fault, see manual, airbag fault, and the service wrench. Immediately went into limp mode. Turned engine off, restarted and continued driving.

We had a throttle body issue this summer and had to have it replaced and towed. During driving, we lost all power, major safety issue! when I asked Ford about it, they said they didn't know about the issue; however they issued several recalls regarding this. This truck isn't in the recall, which makes no sense. It is evident that Ford has a major issue with their throttle bodies I have spoken with Ford several times, they are not helpful and are refusing to pay for this.

While traveling at 65 mph on the interstate, the truck went into "limp mode" and I almost lost total control of the vehicle on both occasions. This happened two times during the same trip. The accelerator wouldn't work, power steering went out, and all stabilization control systems went down. I had to pull over a P2112 code was read from the check engine light. The problem is from a faulty throttle body which many, many consumers have reported. Ford denies responsibility. This truck cost $63,000 and has 40,000 miles on it. The failure of this part is causing widespread risk to drivers and should be forced on Ford to replace with a lasting part.

The fuel pump on the 2015. F150 2.7 L ecoboost is faulty. Ford has recalled all other vehicles with this engine except the F150 model. Why? 2 fuel pumps have gone bad on my F150. After the 3 fuel pump was put in Ford also had to replace the PCM so the fuel pump would work. My vehicle was being driven in traffic when the pump failed causing complete loss of power.

2015 Ford F-150 ecoboost, bought April 2018 with approx. 67,000 miles, currently at approx. 75,000 miles. I am reporting the sudden loss of accelerating power as the vehicle shudders and stalls both when moving with traffic or accelerating to enter or move with traffic. Multiple warning messages including the wrench light flash in the dash message area as the engine slows to idle with no ability to accelerate and comes to a stuttering stop. The first occurrence was three weeks ago and has happened no less than six time since - twice while accelerating onto the freeway (very busy, very fast traffic) and twice while crossing or turning in multi-lane intersections from stopped. Four of the six times resulted in my vehicle dying in and obstructing traffic with and me barely getting to the side of the road without an accident. I now shift to neutral to let momentum move the vehicle as I worm through traffic to the side of the road. Shutting off and restarting the engine clears or resets the message and sometimes "downhill assist not available" with the check engine light comes on. The check engine light has both stayed on or shut off on restart. I can then drive on the vehicle's own power, though the problem has repeated as soon as two minutes later, or not for days. I have not had to be towed and no accidents have occurred. The North Carolina consumer's council filed a lawsuit against Ford in 2015 which was settled with Ford offering an extended warranty only on the etb (electronic throttle body) of certain model vehicles - all with the ecoboost engine, and multiple customer service actions (csa's) that have since expired. A few minutes on the Ford forums online and it is apparent that this is a widespread problem with the ecoboost engine, and Ford has offered several bandaids, but none until after the etb has failed and lives been endangered.

Fuelcanaster had under 36000 mile deal refuse to repair it under warrenty

- Evansville, IN, USA

Truck stalls due to throttle body actuator sticking. Vehicle becomes disabled/stalled and applies the brakes. Occurs without notice at any speed. Occurs on highway, city streets, and dirt roads. Requires throttle body replacement. Similar recalls did occur for the Ford throttle body for other models and years (e.g. 13N03 program). Dealer indicates it is not covered under powertrain warranty (although it should be) and costs $600 to replace.

- Reno, NV, USA

While driving the vehicle will go into limp mode and lose power the hill assist light flashes, wrench light comes on, engine light comes on. Doing research there is a throttle body issue but I wasn't aware of it. It very dangerous because you lose power and have no throttle response. This happened several times on city street an highway at speed.

- Baton Rouge, LA, USA

While in motion truck cycles to full accessory power. Must pull over to shoulder, put into park, and restart engine. Driveways, city streets, hwys, it knows no bounds. This is dangerous!!!! an example of this being larger than just me: Https://www.Ford-trucks.com/forums/1458449-accessory-power-question-with-push-button-start.html and numerous other cases out there! this has happened more than 10 times since purchase Feb 2015. 10 times or more of near misses with tragedy. Dealership cannot fix because this does not throw an error code.

- Fredericktown, MO, USA

This issue has now happened 6 times without showing a pattern. While driving the vehicle completely loses all throttle power and the message center displays 'service advancetrac' 'hill start assist disabled' and the ABS and service engine lights illuminate. This has happened on back roads at slower speeds and on highways at 70 mph. Again, all throttle power is lost. This issue has been reported on numerous forums and there have been 2 consensus fixes, replace throttle body and an apparent issue with the tightness of a throttle cable.

- Groveland, FL, USA

Vehicle stalls out going down the road. Goes into idle mode and idles rough. Can restart after a complete shutdown and runs good until the next time. Has happened 4 times in the last 2 weeks. A real bad experience while on the interstate. Happened twice on the interstate and twice on a city street.

- Gibbon, NE, USA

I've had my truck for just under 2 years and 42,000 and the fuel pump, relay and modular went out. Ford is not covering this under warranty. One of these items is on back order. So I feel that this maybe a faulty part. Is there anything you can do to look into this. It is a major safety issue. My car just stalled in a parking lot. What if I was on a highway I could have gotten rear ended and killed. Please hold Ford responsible for this issue. I also dont want to be held responsible for paying for this either.

- Woodstock, GA, USA

While driving vehicle it stalled in middle of street in traffic. It would not restart. Pushed truck to side of road. Had truck towed to dealership. Has bad fuel pump driver module and fuel pump not working properly. Truck has 42,000 miles on it. Ford has already recalled 91,000 vehicles with this issue but not include the F-150.

- Louisville, KY, USA

I purchased a Ford F 150 with 11 miles on it in November 2015. It now has 14,000 miles on it. It has broken down three times for the same issue. It now has it's forth (4) throttle body in it. This is a safety issue. The vehicle goes into a crawl mode. It has occurred while driving on highways. Ford needs to replace this vehicle. It's a lemon.

I have a 2015 F150 king ranch with the 3.5L ecoboost. It has 41,000 miles and never had an issue until yesterday morning and today around lunch. This was from yesterday 10/23/17: Hill descent control fault service advancetrac hill start assist not available I was pulling out onto a highway and the truck began shaking violently, moving very slow with no acceleration, power steering was lost, and the dashboard was showing all the above errors. Luckily there were no vehicles coming when I entered the highway and there was a place to safely pull off the highway. The truck continues to idle rough and shake violently. And today 10/24/17: I was driving down the interstate at 70 mph when the truck did the same thing as yesterday morning. I was able to pull off the side of the highway and shut off the motor. Once I restarted the engine, I was able to get it to the local Ford dealership. They say they have no idea why it would be doing this and have not heard anything from Ford or seen this in other F150's they have serviced. Update: The dealership claims the fix is in a faulty electronic throttle body and they replaced it at a whopping price of $770. A simple google search shows Ford has issues with etb's across vehicles of all classes and knows about it. In fact, some consumers seem to be involved in lawsuits against Ford because of their unwillingness to issue a recall before someone is fatally injured. These were scary, scary situations with my vehicle and thank god my wife and kids were not with me. There is obviously an issue and Ford needs to correct it at their expense.

Vehicle was on I88 westbound in 4:30 rush hour traffic near naperville, il when the dash lit up, speed dropped dramatically and the gas pedal went dead-no response. Engine speed reduced to a rough idle. Had to somehow get to the shoulder to restart engine to get rid of the error. Was fortunate the problem did not recur until next day on side roads. Brought vehicle to willowbrook Ford dealer who replaced the throttle body on 8/17/2017. Why a service advance trac error message occurs for a fuel problem boggles my mind.

- Downers Grove, IL, USA

Truck intermittently and without warning lost power and went into "limp mode". several error messages appeared on the dashboard including "hill start assist not available", "hill descent control fault", "service advance trac" and "see manual"..the wrench and engine lights also appeared. There would be no throttle response and the engine appeared to be running on 4 out of 6 cylinders. Took the truck to have the codes scanned and the following two codes appeared: P2111 throttle actuator control system - stuck open and P2112 throttle actuator control system - stuck closed. Took the truck to a Ford dealer and was told my VIN did not have a throttle body recall but in their opinion, it was a defective throttle body not covered under warranty. I replaced the throttle body with a bbk-1822 throttle body assembly myself.

- Montrose, CO, USA

Electronic throttle body assembly (etb) failed. Vehicle has 8206 miles on it. Bought brand new. While driving on a fairly untraveled road the engine power was cut and I had to coast to a safe location. The accelerator only allowed for a speed under ~4 mph which I needed to get on the side street. This happened again as I was exciting my driveway which is on a dangerous street due to curves (luckily there were no cars coming from either direction). This has been an issue with Ford and Mercury vehicles since at least 2010 based on my research. Ntsb has failed to have Ford recall their vehicles to replace this system. This issue results in (my experience) complete loss of power to the engine. It may also lead to full power to the engine. If either occurs it has a potential to result in injury or death (sudden slowdown in high speed traffic or sudden increase in velocity in an area with pedestrians). I do not understand why the ntsb has not made Ford conduct a recall considering the potential danger this may cause. Ntsb has known about this issue but has failed to force Ford to correct it. The issue appears to have started with the Fusion/escape (plus two Mercury vehicles) and is now happening in F-150 trucks. I do not know if it is happening in other Ford/Mercury lines. Ford has failed to adequately prepare for their "we'll fix it as it happens" (so much for customer care) and I am now out of a vehicle for at least two weeks. Very disappointed in this company as I felt it was worth purchasing an american truck and that Ford was the number one world wide.
