ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING AT BOTH HIGH SPEEDS AND LOW SPEEDS, WE HAVE LOST ACCELERATION ABILITY. A LARGE YELLOW WRENCH APPEARS ON THE SCREEN. WE HAVE TO PULL THE TRUCK OVER BY COASTING TO THE SIDE, PUT THE ROUGH RUNNING TRUCK IN PARK, TURN THE TRUCK OFF, WAIT, AND THEN RESTART THE TRUCK FOR THE ACCELERATION TO WORK AGAIN. WE HAVE HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED 2 X'S IN THE LAST YEAR AND IT CONTINUES TO DO IT INTERMITTENTLY. UNFORTUNATELY THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN NOT RECREATE IT AND IT DOES NOT COME UP WITH A DIAGNOSTIC CODE THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO HELP US WITH THE ISSUE. I CALLED FORD AFTER LOOKING IT UP ONLINE AND SAW THAT THERE ARE MANY OF THE SAME OCCURRENCES HAPPENING WITH OTHERS OUT THERE. THEY STATED THERE IS NOT A RECALL AND BASICALLY I NEEDED TO JUST KEEP TRYING AT THE DEALERSHIP LEVEL. THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO PICK UP SPEED AND STALLED. THE CONTACT HAD TO COAST THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING OVER 50 MPH, AND THE OIL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED AFTER COASTING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER (LEVITTOWN FORD, LLC, 3195 HEMPSTEAD TURNPIKE, LEVITTOWN, NY 11756, (866) 421-1288) WHO REPLACED THE FUSE AND RE-WIRED THE FUSE BOX PER A TSB. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD FOLLOW UP WITH A RESPONSE WITHIN 48 HOURS.

FUSE MELTED TO JUNCTION BOX CAUSING TRUCK TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND POWER STEERING TO GO OUT. TRUCK WOULD NOT RESTART AND WOULD TURN OVER BUT WOULD NOT STOP EVEN WHEN KEY WAS NOT BEING TURNED. TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME POWER STEERING WENT OUT GOING AROUND A CORNER POSING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK. TOOK TRUCK IN TO GET SERVICED AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND THAT THEY HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 45 MPH THE BRAKE WARNING NOTICE CHIMED AND LOW FLUID WARNING DISPLAYED IN THE DASH INFORMATION PANEL. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF MAIN ROAD ONTO A SMALLER ROAD AND THEN INTO A PARKING SPOT (TOOK ABOUT 1 MINUTE). JUST AS I PULLED INTO THE PARKING SPACE, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE TRUCK BARELY CAME TO A STOP. FOR THE RECORD, IT IS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 2013 F-150 FX4 ECO-BOOST WITH JUST UNDER 50,000 MILES ON IT. PUZZLED, I POPPED THE HOOD TO CHECK THE BRAKE FLUID AND FOUND ONLY 1/2 INCH LEFT IN THE RESERVOIR. THIS MADE NO SENSE SINCE I HAD JUST FILLED THE WINDSHIELD FLUID A FEW HOURS EARLIER IN THE MORNING AND NOTICED THAT THE FLUID LEVEL FOR THE BRAKES WAS ABOUT 1/4 INCH BELOW THE MAX FILL LINE. I HAD TO CALL MY WIFE FOR A RIDE TO THE NEAREST AUTO PARTS STORE TO GET BRAKE FLUID. WHILE I WAITED I CHECKED THE ENTIRE TRUCK FOR BRAKE FLUID LEAKS BUT DID NOT FIND ANY. AFTER RETURNING WITH THE FLUID, I FILLED THE RESERVOIR TO THE MAX FILL LINE HOPING THE BRAKES WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL BUT THINKING THERE MIGHT BE A LEAK SOMEWHERE. AFTER STARTING THE TRUCK AND TRYING THE BRAKE PEDAL, I FOUND THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL STILL ONLY GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THERE IS NO PRESSURE. I HAVE CONCLUDED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER MUST NOT BE WORKING. LUCKY FOR FORD MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND 10 MONTH OLD SON WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME AND ALSO LUCKY THAT I DID NOT HIT ANYONE OR ANYTHING. I AM VERY ANGRY AND ALSO CONCERNED. THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICLE, WORKING BRAKES ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING UP HILL ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST POWER, POWER STEERING INCLUDED AND SHUT DOWN. WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY (HEAD IN AND AT A SLIGHT GRADE) THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. PLEASE LOG ONTO THE FOLLOWING SITE FOR SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE THIS IS HAPPENING TO OR GOOGLE IT. HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/FORD/F-150/OTHER-FUEL-SYSTEM-PUMP-PROBLEMS.PHP THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. FORD ISSUING A BULLETIN (NOT PUBLICLY) AND EXPECTING THEIR CUSTOMERS TO PAY FOR THIS ISSUE IS RIDICULOUS. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED AND LOSES THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE.

FRONT END SHAKING AT AND ROTORS TURNED UNDER WARRANTY AT 15K, SAME THING AT 23K AND ROTORS TURNED AGAIN. SAME THING AT 35K AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NOW IT IS 46K AND FORD CAN'T TURN ROTORS BECAUSE ROTORS ARE OUT OF SPEC. I HAVE NEVER HAD ROTORS WARP THIS FAST AND F-150 IS ONLY DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2013 FORD F150 3.7L 66,000 MILES HAS AN ONGOING BRAKE/ROTOR PROBLEM. I STARTED HAVING THE PROBLEMS AT ABOUT 36,000 MILES. FINALLY REPLACED THE ROTORS/BRAKES AT 46,000 NOW THE ROTORS ARE WARPING AGAIN AFTER ONLY 20,000 MILES. THE FRONT END HAS A VIBRATION IN IT, EVEN WHEN NOT BRAKING. THE RECALL ISSUED WAS LIMITED TO THE 3.5L ENGINE. FROM MY INTERNET RESEARCH THIS RECALLED SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO OTHER MODELS.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY WENT TO ZERO AND TRANSMISSION SHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR CAUSING THE REAR WHEELS TO SLIDE FROM THE SUDDEN DECELERATION, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE DUE TO A SIMILAR ISSUE WHERE THE INDICATED SPEED WOULD SUDDENLY CHANGE WHILE TRAVELING AT CONSTANT SPEED AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DOWNSHIFT 2 OR MORE GEARS IN RESPONSE. PCM WAS REPROGRAMMED AT THAT TIME BUT THE ISSUE WOULD STILL OCCUR PERIODICALLY. DEALERSHIP IS NOW REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION MOLDED LEADFRAME AT A COST OF OVER $1000. THIS DEFECT IS IDENTICAL TO FORD SAFETY RECALL 16S19, BUT THE RECALL ONLY COVERS YEAR MODEL 2011 & 2012 VEHICLES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE COVERED BE A RECALL.
