ENGINE
ENGINE KNOCKING ON STARTUP. THE KNOCK IS MORE EASILY HEARD FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE KNOCKING IS THE MOST NOTICEABLE FOR THE FIRST 30 SECONDS OF STARTUP. THIS OCCURS EVERY DAY. THE AMOUNT OF KNOCKING FOLLOWS AN INCREASE IN ENGINE RPM. ONE OCCASION I WAS DRIVING 65 ON THE FREEWAY, THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING. THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION AND FLASHED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THIS WAS THE START OF THE ENGINE KNOCK.09

STEERING
MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE TAKEN A TURN IN MY 2013 F150 AND THE STEERING GOES "STIFF" FOR 5-10 SECONDS. IT FEELS LIKE I DON'T EVEN HAVE POWER STEERING OR ANY CONTROL OVER THE WHEEL. AND IT'S TERRIFYING EACH TIME IT HAPPENS. I'VE ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD INTO THE RAILING WHILE GOING AROUND A SHARP TURN ON A MOUNTAIN THAT COULD OF CAUSED ME TO RUN OFF THE CLIFF DUE TO THE LOCKED UP STEERING.

POWER TRAIN
WITHIN 10 MINUTES AND 2 MILES OF ENGINE STARTUP AND AFTER TURNING ONTO A NATIONAL HIGHWAY AND AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE RPM AND ENGINE POWER DROPPED SUDDENLY TO IDLE AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR INPUT. AFTER STOPPING AND IMMEDIATELY RESTARTING THE ENGINE, PERFORMANCE WAS NORMAL AND THE WARNING LIGHT FOR POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION/REDUCED POWER/ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WAS OFF. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION OF THE SAME HIGHWAY AND ANOTHER FOUR LANE STREET/HIGHWAY WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT STOP. NO CODES WERE SHOWN ON TWO DIFFERENT DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS. FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT TOWING A TRAILER AT THE TIME.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
PULLING CAMPER ONTO INTERSTATE, ACCELERATED TO MERGE. TRUCK SHOOK, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND TRUCK BARELY MADE IT SAFELY TO THE NEXT EXIT. PEPBOYS REPLACED #2 COIL. MADE IT THE REST OF THE TRIP. UNABLE TO TOW CAMPER OR ACCELERATE NORMALLY, AS TRUCK SHUDDERS AND SLOWS SIGNIFICANTLY IN RESIDENTIAL AND INTERSTATE SPEEDS. ECOBOOST SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL TRUCK AND ENGINE, SO I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO FORD. I'VE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AROUND 66,000..

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION REACHES AN UNCERTAIN SPEED THEN WRENCH APPEARS AND ALL POWER IS LOST, FORCING ME TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HAVING TO TURN OFF ENGINE AND RESTARTING. WAITING UNTIL IT IS SAFE TO RESUME TRAVEL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD NOT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUE. I CHOOSE NOT DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAYS BECAUSE I CAN NOT REACH THE SPEED LIMIT POSTED. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN BE SURE I DON'T PUT MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS IN HARMS WAY.

I WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME, THANK GOODNESS, OR I MIGHT HAVE DRIVEN OFF THE ROAD. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I NOTED THAT THERE WERE OTHERS WHO HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THAT IS WHY I AM REPORTING THIS TO YOU.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
ON 02/20/2021 PARKED MY VEHICLE IN MY DRIVEWAY. ALL GLASS WAS FINE AND INTACT. MORNING OF 02/21/2021 I REMOTE STARTED MY TRUCK TO LEAVE. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAS CHANGED OVER NIGHT OR THE MORNING OF, TRUCK IS SITTING EXACTLY WHERE I PARKED IT. NO ADVERSE WEATHER. A FEW MINUTES LATER I AM PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND I LOOK INTO MY REVIEW MIRROR AND SEE MY DRIVER'S SIDE, BACK WINDOW GLASS COMPLETELY SHATTERED. I KNOW NOTHING HAS HIT IT FROM THE INSIDE, PLUS THE VERY LARGE HEADREST IS IN POSITION AND PROTECTS MOST OF THAT WINDOW FROM THE INSIDE. I KNOW NOTHING COULD HAVE HIT FROM THE OUTSIDE AS A I HAVE A PROPERLY FITTED CENTURY CAP ON THE BED OF THE TRUCK AND THIS PROTECTS THE GLASS FROM BEING STRUCK ON THE OUTSIDE. I LOOK UP INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET AND FIND MANY MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS VERY ISSUE OCCURRING IN MULTIPLE YEARS OF F150'S AND MANY SIMILARLY RELATED TO REMOTE START, WINDOW DEFROSTER, ALLEGATIONS. I CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING THAT RECOGNIZES THIS AS A RECALL YET. SEVERAL ARTICLES OR VIDEOS I SAW RECOMMENDED A COMPLAINT THROUGH HERE. THIS MANY TRUCKS, SAME ISSUE, SAME MAKE, MODELS AND QUITE A YEAR SPAN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

RECENTLY HAD MY TRUCK GO THROUGHT A INSPECTION CHECK AT A PROFESSIONAL AUTOMOTIVE SHOP AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH RIGHT AND LEFT EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAKS. THIS ISSUE IS CAUSING EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASES TO LEAK INTO MY CABIN AND POWER LOSS WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING. REASON FOR LEAKS ARE DUE TO EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BREAKING AND WARPED EXHAUST MANIFOLD.

ENGINE
WHEN DRIVING THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND LOST POWER. THE VEHICLES ENGINE BLEW AND SUBSEQUENTLY LOST POWER AND I HAD TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE RIDE ROAD. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF REPORTS ONLINE OF PEOPLE HAVING THEIR ECO-BOOST ENGINES BLOW DUE TO A MOISTURE ISSUE IN FORDS DESIGN. FORD ISSUED A TSB NOT A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM AND HAVE LAST MANY MOTORIST INCLUDING MY SELF AT DANGER AS THE ENGINES CAN GO WITHOUT WARNING. FORD HAS DENIED MY CLAIM I MADE THROUGH THEM AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS PASSING THEM OFF AS LACK OF MAINTENANCE AND OUT OF WARRANTY. HOWEVER, MY TRUCK HAS BEEN SERVICED AND WELL TAKEN CARE OFF. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE HAPPEN AT VARIOUS MILLAGE CONDITIONS WHILE SOME HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE AT ALL. FORD HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE INSIGHT INTO WHY THIS HAPPENS AND A GUARANTEE IT CAN BE PREVENTED.
