ENGINE
MY 2013 F150 PLATINUM DIED ON ME WHILE DRIVING, AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED BY DAVID STANLEY FORD IN MIDWEST CITY AND FOUND OUT THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE A FUSE RELOCATION KIT PUT IN TO FIX MY ENGINE FAILURE. I RESEARCHED WHAT THAT WAS, AND FOUND OUT THAT THE FACTORY INSTALLED MINI FUSE RUNNING THE FUEL PUMP CANNOT HANDLE THE AMOUNT OF CURRENT GOING THROUGH IT, AND OVERTIME IT MELTS THE FUSE BOX ITSELF, INSTEAD OF BLOWING THE FUSE, WHICH CAUSES COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. IT IS SUCH A COMMONLY KNOWN ISSUE THAT FORD HAS EVEN ISSUED A TSB EXPLAINING HOW TO FIX AND INSTALL THIS PROBLEM WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED KIT. WHY I AM COMPLAINING IS BECAUSE THIS ISSUE THAT CAUSES DANGEROUS ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AND WHICH LEAVES THE OWNER STRANDED, IS NOT A RECALL WHEN EVEN FORD KNOWS THAT IT IS A FACTORY INSTALLED MALFUNCTION. IT IS 100% A SAFETY ISSUE FOR NOT ONLY THOSE DRIVING 2009-2014 FORD VEHICLES WHERE THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN KNOWN TO OCCUR, BUT ALSO FOR EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD WHEN YOUR FORD VEHICLE DIES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR HIGHWAY.

STEERING
INFAMOUS FORD DEATH WOBBLE FOR THE SECOND TIME ON THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN THE EARLY PERIOD OF OWNERSHIP. IT WAS FIXED. IN FEBRUARY, THE DEATH WOBBLE STARTED AGAIN. THE TRUCK HAS 182,000 MILES ON IIT. I HAVE SPENT $3,000 AT GOODYEAR GETTING MOST OF THE FRONT END COMPONENTS REPLACED BEFORE THEY THREW THERE HANDS UP AND COULD NOT FIX IT. I AM PRESENTLY $1,100 INTO REPAIR AT TOMBALL FORD. THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS AND I DO NOT KNOW WHY THE NHTSA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY 2013 F150 WAS PARKED UNDER MY CARPORT AND I GOT IN IT TO MOVE IT AND HOOK UP A SMALL TRAILER. THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SAYING LOW BRAKE FLUID. I HAD A BOTTLE AND FILLED IT. GOT BACK IN AND MOVED 20 FEET AND HAD NO BRAKE PEDAL AT ALL AND THE WARNING WAS ON AGAIN. I CHECKED AND IT IS EMPTY AGAIN. I SAW ONLINE THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH MANY 2013 F150 TRUCKS. AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS. CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT. AND WAS TOLD THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL !! I SEE NO LEAKS SO IT MUST BE THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND OR BOOSTER !! BUT NOW I AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO GET REPAIRED AND HAVE LIMITED INCOME BEING DISABLED !! SO MY COMPLAINT IS IF OTHERS OF THIS SAME YEAR AND MODEL F150 WERE IN A RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, THEN WHY IS MY F150 NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING THIS TRUCK WHEN THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED OR HAVE KILLED SOMEONE ELSE !!! WHY DID I GET SCREWED AND NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL ???

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
SINCE PURCHASED NEW THE ENGINE WILL INTERMITTENTLY COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ESPECIALLY DURING DAMP WEATHER. IT HAS SPENT WEEKS AT DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS YET THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THE ENGINE WILL SPUTTER AND KILL TAKING WITH IT THE POWER STEERING, BRAKES, AND LIGHTS. IT IS STILL AN ISSUE TODAY. THE OTHER PROBLEM THAT IS REALLY CONCERNING IS THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL SUDDENLY SHIFT ITSELF INTO FIRST GEAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND SEND RPMS RACING FOR NO REASON. I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALERSHIP V&H IN MARSHFIELD THAT THEY 'REPROGRAMMED' THE TRANSMISSION BUT THAT STILL HAPPENS FROM TIME TO TIME. ALL OF THESE THINGS HAPPENED MAINLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH THE ENGINE BEING MOST COMMON DURING WET WEATHER. IT HAPPENS RATHER FREQUENTLY WITH THE LAST EPISODE BEING ON 8/12/19

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I STARTED MY TRUCK AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. THE TRUCK WAS IN LIMP MODE AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I RESTARTED THE TRUCK AND WAS ABLE TO PULL IT BACK IN THE DRIVEWAY. I PLUGGED IN AN OBD CODE READER AND IT GAVE A P2112 "THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM STUCK CLOSED." UPON SOME RESEARCH I FOUND SEVERAL MODELS BETWEEN 2011 THROUGH 2015 HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES CAUSING DANGEROUS SITUATIONS ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ISSUE WAS MOVING WHEN IT FIRST OCCURRED, BUT THANKFULLY IT WAS JUST OUTSIDE MY DRIVEWAY, I HADNT MADE IT TO THE HIGHWAY YET. I RESTARTED THE TRUCK, AND WAS ABLE TO PARK IT IN THE DRIVEWAY.
