While driving on the highway pulling a trailer the vehicle check engine light and wrench light came on with a warning that stated "service advance track and hill assist is not available. The vehicle then lost all power causing me try attempt to cross traffic to get to the side of the road without any engine power. After stopping the engine was shuddering. The vehicle needed to be towed into a dealer to be fixed.the electronic throttle body had failed causing the engine to go into "limp" mode(what ever that is). This is a very dangerous situation to have happen at highway speeds

Engine lost power suddenly and stalled, I had a wrench lamp come up with the following faults: Service advancetrac/ hill descent control fault. This happened on a bridge on a highway when I was driving with my family. I pressed the throttle but the engine went into "limp" mode, no response from the throttle whatsoever. Almost got hit by a semi truck from the rear. Took it to Ford, for 2 weeks they had no idea what's wrong with it. They performed a software update and said it's good to go. The same problem happened again 2 days later when I was close to work. Stopped by a local automotive shop since I didn't want to drive it back to the dealership. We read the code and it showed a "P2112 throttle actuator control system stuck closed". I got a new throttle body installed for 376$, and never had the problem again. Apparently it's a common problem with Ford F150S made in specific dates. Did some digging, Ford issued a techincal bulletin tsb 16-0139 with this known problem. This problem is very similar to recall 13N03 ' throttle body extended coverage ' 2009-2013 Ford & Mercury I took the old throttle body apart, there was a lot of oil buildup inside that interfered with the motor controlling the butterfly valve.

When truck sits overnight and I start it, it emits a bluish white smoke for 5-15 seconds. I understand there is a recall on this and the brake master cylinder can leak into the booster, but my vehicle VIN number is not included. Is my vehicle safe to drive?

1. 11/09/2019 vehicle went into "limp mode" when entering the I-84 freeway from a freeway on-ramp at wood village, Oregon. Vehicle lost power, would not exceed 5 mph, dash lights (wrench light) came on. Vehicle partially blocked traffic at intersection of freeway and on ramp causing a dangerous traffic problem for over 1 hour before tow truck arrived.. vehicle was towed to Ford dealer. Diagnostic codes were not available upon restart at dealer to determine the problem, no repair was made. How can Ford have a "limp mode" which essentially shuts down the vehicle (stutters, stalls, no power) without the ability to diagnose the problem when diagnostic codes automatically reset at next startup? 2. 07/02/20 vehicle went into "limp mode" while driving on busy county road near my home. Using county roads and city streets, vehicle was driven in "limp mode" at low speed (5 mph or less for 7 miles to Ford dealer. Other vehicles were forced to pass in dangerous situations, bike lanes were blocked and intersections were partially blocked because of the slow speed of the vehicle. I was afraid to shut off the vehicle due to the previous incident where that action cleared the diagnostic codes. Vehicle was left running at the Ford dealer and repaired by them by reading the codes and replacing the throttle body. It is ridiculous to have a failure that initiates a "limp mode" condition that places the vehicle in a dangerous situation where the underlying condition cannot be easily diagnosed if vehicle is subsequently restarted. This will, of course happen when the vehicle is being towed or driven to the dealer if the dealer cannot immediately read the codes. I feel that Ford put me in harms way twice due to this faulty "limp mode' system. Further, I have no confidence in the reliability of this vehicle for future use.

I have 2015 F150 with the eco boost 2.7 liter engine. It has roughly 60,000 miles. For the last couple of months when it sits overnight and you start it in the morning it emits a bluish white smoke for about 5-10 seconds. I did see where there is a cold start problem with some of these vehicles and maybe pulling brake fluid if I remember correctly. I looked up the VIN number on the recall and mine has not shown up. I am concerned that mine is dong the same thing as specified on this recall but has not been included.

The truck completely lost power on a major interstate. The engine kept running, but no power to maneuver putting me and my family's safety in jeopardy. I was lucky it did not stall in a different place, or there could have been a major accident. It turned out to be a bad electronic throttle body. Ford dealer replaced it at a cost of $500.

When accelerating, about 90% of the time the vehicle will get warnings for "hill descent control fault" and "advance track service". when this happens, the vehicle will not accelerate anymore and starts slowing down. This has happened to me twice getting onto the interstate in the past month but luckily no vehicles were coming up behind me. This is a huge safety issue though that Ford needs to recognize and fix. The dealership said they have no idea what is causing it but everyone online says that it's likely to be the steering rack. Recall the steering rack because this has apparently happened to a lot of people.

Ll have to do with the crankshaft / camshaft sensors. I did some research online and it is said that Ford never fixed this problem. Apparently it has happened to many, many Ford owners.

The engine has repeatedly had cylinder misfires over the past 100,00 miles and 2 years. It's happened many times with different cylinders. Replacing the coilpack resolves the issue but it returns after a few weeks. This appears to be the moisture problem with the turbo intercooler that already has several reports. This occurs when the vehicle is in motion and usually while accelerating. It happens most often during wet conditions. When this happens, there is a loss of power and the vehicle slows considerably. This is very dangerous in heavy traffic or when pulling into traffic.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford F-150. The contact stated that after driving the vehicle for several hours, there was an abnormal exhaust odor in the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure was more evident in warmer climates after the vehicle was driven for more than an hour and a half.

The mechanic was able to pinpoint a pinhole sized leak however, when the vehicle was taken to nick abraham elyria Ford located at 1115 E broad St, elyria, oh 44035, (440) 366-3673, the mechanic was unable to pinpoint a location for the possible exhaust leak. The contact was informed that no repairs would be made if the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted or informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 59,500.

The vct solenoid has been listed as a problem on a large number of Ford engines but Ford will not recall. The issue causes the engine to drop in idle and stall. My mechanic said he has changed hundreds in Ford engines. This is a safety issue when a vehicle stalls without waning

The truck was running for about 15 minutes. We were going down a major highway in one of the passing lanes at approximately 70mph then without any warning power was lost. On the display trac stability came on then cycled thru hill assist and several others. I drifted of the road just past a exit. The engine felt like it was missing terribly as it cycling thru these errors. I shut it down and restarted it seemed ok, but check engine light still on, when I tried to move it started to shake and cycle errors again. I shut it down again and restarted this time it was running ok. The check engine light was still on and we drove with thecheck engine light for approximately 400 miles stopping and shuting off engine several times.light still on. Stopped for 1 hour to eat when restarting no check engine light on and has been working as normal today.
