2012 FORD F-150 Complaints

VEH LOSES POWER UPON ACCELERATION. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. DEALER IS NOT ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

DURING ANY HARD ACCELERATION SUCH AS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, THE TRUCK STALLS AND GOES INTO A MODE OF MISSING AND ENGINE STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK AND ONLY HAPPENS DURING A HARD ACCELERATION. I HAVE HAD A CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED AND THE TECH AT THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS KNOW DEFECT WITH THE DESIGN OF SOME KIND OF MOISTURE PUMP. HE SAID THAT FORD WOULD ONLY FIX IT WHEN YOU GOT TO THE FOURTH CONVERTER REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A HAZARD DURING MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. *TR

THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHUDDER AND THERE WAS A LOSS OF ACCELERATION AND POWER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, HE DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000. *TR

I HAVE ALL DOCUMENTATION OF MY ECOBOOST F-150 MISFIRING DURING ACCELERATION, INCLUDING A VIDEO. I ALSO HAVE THE FORD REPS NAME AND DATES OF CONVERSATION WITH FORD AND MY DEALERSHIP WHERE THE FORD REP "DOES NOT FEEL THIS ISSUE PRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK..." EVEN THOUGH MY TRUCK FAILED TO ACCELERATE IN THE RAIN ENTERING A HIGHWAY IN FRONT OF AN EIGHTEEN WHEELER, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY MOVE TO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID A WRECK. THIS IS ONE OF THREE INCIDENTS. *TR

FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED AFTER VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 15 MILES. AT STOP SIGN, UPON ACCELERATION, ENGINE BEGAN TO SHUDDER GOING THROUGH GEARS. PULLED OVER, STOPPED ENGINE, STARTED AND BEGAN SHUDDERING AGAIN. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ROCKWALL FORD, DEALER IN ROCKWALL TX.. FOUND LOOSE CONNECTION (NOT THE PROBLEM). SECOND INCIDENT: VEHICLE BEGAN MISFIRING AROUND HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AFTER READING FORUMS AND DOING RESEARCH, FOUND MOISTURE PROBLEMS WITH INTERCOOLER (CAC). ROCKWALL FORD DEALER REPLACED PER FORD PROCEDURE: REPLACE CAC AND INSTALLED DEFLECTOR SHIELD FOR MOISUTE AT 20,170 MILES. THIRD INCIDENT: VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SHUDDER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TOOK TO DIFFERENT FORD DEALER (RANDAL NOE IN TERRELL, TX). DEALER VERY HELPFUL AND FOUND TRUCK TO MISFIRE. FORD HOWEVER HAS NO RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM AND STILL HAVE NO TRUCK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND ENGAGED INTO SAFE LIMP MODE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE AS 13,000. *TR

WE EXPERIENCED BUCKING, SHUTTERING, LACK OF ACCELERATION WHEN EXITING ONE MAJOR HIGHWAY AND ENTERING ANOTHER. ALSO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID WE COULD STILL DRIVE TRUCK AFTER WE TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. (WE WERE ABOUT 200 MILES FROM HOME)THIS HAPPENED TWICE. AFTER THE FIRST TIME WE TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY INSTALLED A CL3Z*19E672*A DEFLECTOR AND *W711281*S300 PIN. THE DEALER SAID THE REASON FOR THE PROBLEM WAS THE COMPUTER "LEARNS" THE DRIVING HABITS OF THE EVERYDAY DRIVER (WIFE). WHEN THE HUSBAND DROVE THE TRUCK THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED. DEALER SAID THEY RE-PROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER, INSTALLED PARTS. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER WHEN HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK IT HAPPENED AGAIN. WE TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER BUT THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. *TR

2012 FORD F150XL WITH 3.5L V6 ECOBOOST ENGINE. ACCELERATING TO MERGE ONTO HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL OFF AND AFTER SUCCESSFULLY MERGING, VEHICLE EXPECTANTLY LUNGED FORWARD WHILE FOOT WAS OFF GAS. ENGINE KEPT ACCELERATING FOR PERIOD OF 5 SECONDS REACHING 90MPH. I WAS HITTING THE BRAKE THE ENTIRE TIME WITH NO EFFECT UNTIL HEARD A DULL CLUNK OR POP SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. AFTER THIS SOUND, THE ENGINE STOPPED ACCELERATING AND I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL. IF THERE WAS A MOTORCYCLE OR CAR IN FRONT OF ME I WOULD HAVE RUN THEM OVER. *TR

I PROCEEDED TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE ON I-75 JUST NORTH OF CHATTANOOGA, TN. THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE VERY QUICKLY AS THE TRUCK LOST SPEED RAPIDLY. I HAD TO TURN ENGINE OFF AND THEN BACK ON TO GET POWER BACK. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD TO REPLACE A PART. IT HAS BEEN ON BACK ORDER EVER SINCE AND THE TRUCK HAS REPEATED THIS PROBLEM APPROXIMATELY 5 MORE TIMES. THE SERVICE DEPT WAS KIND OF VAGUE ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY JUST KEPT TELLING ME IT WOULD NOT HURT THE ENGINE. *TR
