The contact owns a 2010 Ford F-150. While driving 15 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning and was unable to be restarted. The vehicle was towed to john lee Nissan (located at 120 E 23rd St, panama city, fl 32405, (850) 888-4611) to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code or duplicate the failure.

Vehicle would stall at random while driving. Mechanics at Ford advised that it was relay wire or harness wires for the airbag sensors that ran through the fuel tank were corroded or shorted out. They reported that the engineers at Ford made a bad call when they decided to run the wires through the fuel tank, which in turn resulted in me having to dish out 1500 bucks for the repair. This issue occurred multiple times prior to the repair on a truck with less than 53000 miles at the time, between during March or April of 2014 when I first purchased the used truck. Lost all power at various speeds and on several road types including highway, highway service road, residential street and farm to market road, while going strait and during turns, after multiple events and having put less than 1000 miles on it, I took it up to Ford. Grateful that no accidents occured during the episodes I experienced. I was able to cometo a stop, place the truck in park and restart it. Ttince the repair no issues. Love the F series pick ups and have owned several over a span of 18 years and its all my dads company uses. I know its been almost 4 years since having the issue but felt like I needed to say something to at least give others a head up or warning. Never set well with me. I still have the repair paperwork if needed.
11/29/18 will be the 6th time my engine shut off when coming to a stop and making a turn. Other 5 incidents were about 3 years ago. Each occasion, slowing down to a stop, engine shuts off while making a turn, and I put it in neutral while pressing brakes, starts up, and I keep going down the road. 122K miles, love the truck but this has me very concerned for my family riding in the truck. I looked up any recalls but did not find anything regarding this. F-150 forums have the exact same incidents and when taking to Ford dealership, they cannot find anything wrong. Please let me know my options of getting Ford to do something.
5.4 & 4.6 3 valve engine tappett noise when hot on multiple trucks &SUV occurs just after warranties on multiple years 2005 - 2012 this is the second Ford I purchased and shortly after noise begins
When slowing down (at an intersection for example) to make a turn the vehicle dies and makes it very, very difficult to turn because the power steering does not work. I have almost gotten into two accidents because of not being able to stay in my lane during the turn. I have never seen a truck so difficult to turn when the engine is not running. Additionally, the truck will not start after fueling. I had the truck towed the first time it happened and the Ford dealer (madison county Ford in richmond, ky) said it was a transmission problem. The first time I put fuel in the truck, it would not start. It sat a couple of days and started. The engine was stopping just as it did before. Took it back to the same Ford dealer and they said they had diagnosed the problem properly. I spend $2,216 on what they said the problem was and it was still doing the same thing. The paramount issue is when the truck dies while driving and it can't be steered properly.

My 2010 F150 started getting carbon monoxide coming through the cabin heating system. This was caused by the exhaust manifold and bolts breaking due to rusting out and allowing carbon monoxide to seep into the engine compartment and into the cabin. I as the driver became ill for 2 days as I was not aware that the poison was coming into the cabin at first. I had a 70 mile highway drive to get home. The vehicle has had severe rusting throughout the drive train starting at 3 years old. Ford has never accepted any responsibility for this issue. I want to be clear on this as in hopes of not having this happen to anyone else. I feel I could have died from this poisoning. I have never had a vehicle do this, especially one as new as this vehicle.
