2012 FORD F-150 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING DURING A LIGHT RAIN, I STARTED TO PASS A SLOWER MOVING VEHICLE. WHEN I ACCELERATED TO PASS, THE ENGINE STALLED TO IDLE SPEED, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO ABORT THE PASS AND PULL BACK IN BEHIND THE VEHICLE. *TR

VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE. UNABLE TO COMPLETE PASSING MANEUVER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

AS I WENT TO PASS SLOW MOVING VEHICLES IN A BRAND NEW F-150 ECOBOOST WITH 4,000 MILES ON IT COMPLETELY LOST POWER TWICE WITHIN 30 MINUTES AND SHUT DOWN FOR ABOUT 20 SECONDS. ONCE I WAS SLOWED TO ABOUT 15 MPH ON A BUSY STREET IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL AND THE ACCELERATOR STARTING WORKING AGAIN. *TR

TRAVELING AT 60 + / - MPH AND ATTEMPTED TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. ENGINE LOST POWER ON ACCELERATION AND SEEMED TO SPUTTER. THIS IS STRANGE AS THE GAS WAS NOT "PUNCHED" OR ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF NORMAL PASSING ACCELERATION. INITIALLY I THOUGHT I MAY BE OUT OF GAS OR SOMETHING BUT THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. I HAVE NOTED POWER LOSS TWO OTHER TIMES BUT DID NOT THINK ANYTHING OF IT AS THE ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL ONCE I BACKED OFF THE GAS. THE ONE DIFFERENCE THIS TIME IS THE ENGINE MADE A VERY ROUGH VIBRATION WHICH CAUSED OTHERS IN THE TRUCK TO ASK IF I WAS HAVING ENGINE TROUBLE. *TR

UPON ENTERING THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO A HIGHWAY THE ENGINE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AROUND 35 MPH. ALL ATTEMPTS TO INCREASE ACCELERATION WERE FUTILE AND THE ENGINE WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ANY INPUT. AFTER 30 SECONDS OF UNSUCCESSFULLY ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE I TURNED ON MY HAZARD SIGNAL AND BEGAN TO MOVE TOWARD THE SHOULDER TO AVOID CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE VEHICLE THEN SUDDENLY BEGAN TO RESPOND AND ACCELERATED NORMALLY BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, VEHICLE WILL GO INTO "LIMP" MODE. POWER REDUCES ON VEHICLE AND WILL NOT ALLOW TO MAINTAIN HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES DURING A TRIP ESPECIALLY IN HUMID AND COLD CONDITIONS. THE SCARIEST SITUATION HAS BEEN WHILE TOWING A TRAILER. TRUCK WENT INTO THE REDUCED POWER LIMP MODE AND WAS ALMOST RUN INTO BY A SEMI TRUCK. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES WITH ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR. THEY HAVE REPLACED A FEW ENGINE SENSORS THAT THEY CLAIM WERE CAUSING ISSUES, BUT THE TRUCK STILL HAD ISSUE DURING COLDER WEATHER. *TR

INTERMITTENT STUMBLE/MISFIRE ON ACCELERATION FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ENGINE FEELS LIKE IT IS IN LIMP MODE, THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ATTEMPTING TO PASS A SLOWER CAR, THE TRUCK LOST 50% OF ITS POWER. IT BEGAN TO MISS FIRE, AND ACT LIKE IT HAD BAD GAS OR SOMETHING. I ALSO STARTED TO NOTICE THAT IF YOU TURN A CORNER ON WET PAVEMENT AND YOU LOSE TRACTION, THE TRUCK MADE THE SAME GURGLING SOUND WITH POWER LOSS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT I GET VERY BAD GAS MILEAGE AVERAGING 12 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK THE TRUCK IN AND THEY REPROGRAMMED IT. I THINK ALL THIS DID WAS CUT BACK THE POWER TO HELP PREVENT DETONATION OR MISS FIRES. AFTER THIS THE TRUCK WAS A COMPLETE DOG. BAD MILEAGE AND NO POWER. I RECENTLY SENT THE TRUCK BACK AND THEY REPLACED SOME PARTS WITH THE INTERCOOLER. IT ISN'T 100% FIXED BUT IT IS BETTER. MILEAGE PICKED UP TO 15 MPG BUT NOWHERE NEAR WHAT THEY CLAIM. POWER IS BETTER BUT STILL NOT GOOD. VERY DISAPPOINTED OVERALL. *TR

ENGINE STALLED DURING HARD ACCELERATION. IT HAD BEEN SITTING IDLING TO WARM UP ON A COLD MORNING. WHEN PULLING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND ACCELERATING TO MOVE INTO TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE STUTTERED AND STALLED. HAD TO PULL OVER OUT OF TRAFFIC. *TR

PULLING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ACCELERATING THE TRUCK SEEMS TO HESITATE WHEN YOU NEED THE POWER. THIS PARTICULAR DAY WAS HUMID BUT IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES IN CLEAR WEATHER. *TR
