This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
3rd time this has happened, pressed gas pedal to accelerate onto highway. Gas pedal was stuck in down position with engine revving. Held brake to slow it down, picked right back up when let off. No floor mats where near the pedal, and tapping the brake didn't disengage it. Was stuck for several minutes at dangerous speeds
The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated and the speed was reduced. On several occasions the vehicle stalled while driving. The vehicle was taken to honolulu Ford located at 1370 N king St, honolulu, hi 96817 however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact indicated that the failure recurred and persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no additional assistance. The failure mileage was 200. The VIN was not available.
My vehicle recently died on the incline of a bridge with no shoulder putting me in a very dangerous position. It turns out that fuse 27 in my vehicles fuse box melted, not blown, but physically melted disabling the fuel pump. Tsb 15-0137 addresses this issue bit I believe iy should be elevated to a recall.
This is for an aftermarket coil pak manufacture by well vehicle electronics, springfield mo. The pak shorted caught on fire, and damaged by truck (F150) ECU costing me over $1300 to repair. I have sent the coil pak back to the manufacture but their analysis was it was damaged by the ignition. These coil packs are the ignition, the only thing from the truck is the 12 volts, the the pulse to fire it. I'm filling this report to you as I'm seeking damages to their defected coil. That overheated, causing the coil wire to short and catch fire. I have the sparkplug and it was checked and it is not shorted.
Oil pressure low, it's came sometimes since 3000km until now I have 190000km its came 7 times, and when it's happened the truck switching off and the dengrous thing when the steering lock omg specifically on the highway or corners
While driving from Ohio back to North Carolina, my wife and I were travelling at 75 mph when suddenly and without warning my truck abruptly stalled to 5 mph with no power from the accelerator. I managed to get the truck out of the high speed lane on a two lane highway and on to the side of the road. I turned the truck off. A few minutes later, I turned the truck back on and all function resumed. This has happened in the past, but when I took it in for work there was no issue reported or read and the error could not be replicated. The truck was towed to a Ford dealership. Service informed me I had a bad throttle body. This truck was part of a "customer satisfaction program" run in 2013 for a bad throttle body and total loss of acceleration. My truck received the repair in 2014 voiding the throttle body 10 year or 150,000 mile warranty. The safety concern remains and is endangering my life, my wife, and our future child. The part might be replaced without fixing the problem. An electrical issue may keep this vehicle having reoccurrences. This has me very concerned about a service that does not increase vehicle safety. And because of that concern I began to inquire if anyone else has had this issue. It turns out that in 2015 a class action suit was filed against Ford and settled on individual basises (janis benkle et al V Ford Motor Company). Currently, there are no programs to assist owners like myself in this situation. The original program is no longer valid and the repair performed was only good for one time (that repair apparently would not solve the safety concern as others have stated that the problem persisted after a new throttle body was put in). I have sought out an audience with the "zone manager". however, I have been informed that is impossible as customer care will not give that information and neither will the dealership.
While traveling on the open highway at 65mph, a yellow wrench appeared in my dash information panel and the vehicle entered "limp mode". the engine shut down and I had to make an emergency transition onto the shoulder in heavy traffic. The vehicle was able to restart, however, it had the same problem two additional times on the way to the nearest Ford dealership. The obd diagnostic code was P2112
The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving approximately 15 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that he pulled over and restarted the vehicle. The vehicle was not been taken to a local dealer for a diagnostic test. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 128,952.
Has a really rough start. Knocks really loud when idle. Drives rough and knocks as well. After a week of searching forums I found that a lot of people are having this problem and have the cam phasers replaced. Most of them just said they changed out the engine.
I had the wrench light come on while I was driving and didn't have much of a problem at first. Then a day later when I was going to work, I turned the truck on and pushed the gas and the light came on and I could not accelerated at all. My RPM's would not climb. I had to let my truck start to go on its own then my gas peddle would finally catch and my truck would go. Later that day I was driving home from work, going about 40mph, and my vehicle went into limp mode. I had to pull over and restart my truck. It did like 3 times on the way home. What I don't understand is how as soon as I start my truck, with it still in park, and hit the gas the light illuminates and the trucks rpms don't work. This is one of many problems I have had with this truck. The A/C is a whole other topic.
Timming chain making rattling sound on startup, the issue has been reported to Ford Motor Company for the years 2011-2015 an D yet the Ford company refuses to make a recall. The cost of replacement is between $1,900 and $2,900 dollars. That is alot for the cosummer to deal out for something the Ford company should be responsiable for.tbs servoce bullentin 18-2305. This all happens at start up and continually gets worst if not fixed.
Upon accelerating to pass or merge onto a highway the engine will lose power and the check engine light will flash. This loss of power makes it dangerous to safely pass or merge onto a highway. I was researching on the internet and there are many instances of this happening to ecoboost owners. This problem has been dubbed the "ecoboost shudder " I have called 4 dealerships asking if there is a service bulletin for this problem or repairs. It seems that Ford service departments are completely unaware of this problem however it is well known to ecoboost owners.
Oil and radiator fluid leaks causing engine smoking and nauseating odor when heater turned on while engine cold or cold exterior temps. Complete loss of engine and drive power randomly lasting 15-60secs, then all numbers ie: Gas milage, speed, mileage become dashes, speedometer quits working, on highways and city street. Pulling over shutting off and restart will reset until next random episode. Rough jerks and occasionally a bang with jerks (feel like it comes from the axels) usually at low speeds. More often in parking lots but in traffic jams on highways. Once transmission recall complete it ran fantastic for a week and a half. Now it's worse than ever and engine light comes on for a day and then goes off.
Stopped running, died coming off interstate at 75 mph. Day before died and wouldn't start just rolled and rolled over. Hour later, it started. Had it towed off interstate would not start. Started once at dealer. Dealer stated the fuse 27 is known to melt and after a week in the shop it is fuse 27 which also had to be rewired. It is on websites that fuse 27 does this all the time.. shutting off on interstate is a horrible experience especially when Ford knows of this defect.
