Turbo went in the truck which then cause engine and transmission damage. Mechanic says the engine, transmission, and turbos need to be replaced quoting over 10K. Also, a neighbor had a 2014 F150 do the same exact thing around the same mileage and I thought that was very odd.

2014 F-150 3.5L ecoboost. Engine will completely lose power and go into "limp mode" with orange wrench. Dealer claims they cannot retrieve problem code so I bought a obd scanner and dtc code reads as P2112. This is the second time I will have to get the electronic throttle body replaced. The first time the truck had approx. 62,000 miles on it, this time it has approx. 111,000. This is absolutely ridiculous. Both times this part has failed I have had my entire family in the truck and have had to literally Dodge semi trucks and other cars nearly causing serious accidents to make it to a safe shoulder. Waiting for a factory recall, I will not let this go. Im afraid to drive this vehicle at this point.

Throttle body went out after 40,000 miles. Driving down the road wrench icon pops up and a few seconds later the truck stalls and engine cuts out. Take it to Ford and that part is not covered under my extended warranty.. big surprise. Talk to customer service and there is nothing they will do either. So out 600 because Ford knowingly sells these vehicles when they know that thousands of people are having the exact same problem.

While traveling 75 mph on my way home from work my truck just shut off. There were only 2 lanes with no shoulder. I could have been killed or killed others. I got lucky. I took the car to our local Ford dealer and they diagnosed it and said I needed to replace the throttle body. Of course I am out of warranty and being force to pay the $400 bill. The service guy proceeds to tell me that Ford knew about this issue years ago but it's not common any more. Why on earth was this not recalled. If Ford knew about a problem with their vehicles that could potentially kill their customers or other travelers then they should have done the right thing and recalled the vehicle!

While driving the vehicle and in motion when passing another vehicle the vehicle started to stutter and lose power. The engine icon started flashing. The icon went away shortly after this but this is the second time this has happened. After checking online there are several issues in regards to the 3.5 ecoboost engine doing this.

I was driving down the highway and my 2014 Ford F-150 lost all engine power. My engine was still running but my gas peddle would not work. I was passing a semi truck when this happened. My dash board had the little wrench turned yellow. I turned my engine off and restarted and vehicle ran again like nothing every happed. I took the vehicle to Ford dealer and was told this is a know issue with said vehicle. My truck had 35,863 miles at the time of the incident. I was told a vehicle is still under factory warranty it would be fixed for free but parts are all on back order. I was advised I could still operate my truck until parts arrived. Today I was driving to work and merging onto the highway and again my truck lost all power with engine still running again. I was again able to shut vehicle down and restart but check engine light is now on. This time I was almost rear ended trying to exit the highway. *note: I did purchase this vehicle in Canada while working in Canada for the U.S. dept of state so this will be a Canadian VIN

The trucks overheats and ignition coils fail. This mainly happens when traveling through the mountains.this causes the truck to lose power and leaves me stranded on the highway broke down. This has been a problem ever since I purchased the truck new. Ford has been absolutely no help in solving the problem. I have documentation of over ten ignition coils failing and multiple engine over heatings.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. While driving approximately 65 mph, the oss in the transmission failed and the vehicle immediately lost power.

The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 88,000.

The coolant in my vehicle had leaked out at the first sign of unusually cold weather here in atlanta. I had to wait a week to get the hoses/orings to fix my vehicle because Ford co. Reported that the parts were unavailable because several thousands of vehicles that had the same failing parts were trying to order during the cold weather last week. Now that is is replaced, it is still leaking the coolant out. My mechanic says leaking this much coolant is a safety hazard due to it harming engine/motor and vehicle fire. The hoses and O rings last week that they put on may also be compromised., as they are leaking too. Sure would like to bring this to attention of Ford co.

F150 repeatedly lost all acceleration and power. The truck went into a very limited low power state and many near collisions were narrowly avoided as the truck rapidly lost all acceleration and glided to a stop.a red wrench symbol appeared on the driver display stating a "mechanical" issue. This happened 50 plus times on surface streets and 10 plus times while on interstate highways under normal driving conditions. This issue got progressively worse over a two-week period culminating in the throttle body assembly being fully replaced.
