Started about 1 1/2 months ago, while driving at speed, vehicle felt like it shifted into neutral. Did not happen again til the next week. Then was taking off at a light and it had no pick up. Took into shop, no codes in computer, topped off transmission fluid. $97. Following week went to pass a vehicle and the truck lost power and started to shake, engine light flashing. Brought back to shop. Still no code, but they changed spark plugs and fuel system flush. $440. Was driving down the road RPM up to 3000, would not change if I pressed on gas or not, transmission shifting from 1-3 in random order. Felt like brakes were locking up. Driving 50 MPH, RPM to 5000, speedometer from 50 to zero back to 50, brakes lock up. Pulled over, shut off truck, restarted no problem. Took to dealer I bought from, no codes could not help. Took to ford dealer, said transmission lead frame needs repair $900, and main rear seal leaking badly. Never was I low on oil or had an oil spot. Looked up online several hundred of same vehicle with the same issues. No recall. Ford said nothing they could do because warranty is up and it is not their problem now.
2013 Ford F-150 fuel system complaints
Page 4 of 6: complaints 71 to 100 of 159, newest first, as owners wrote them.
With a hard acceleration the truck blogged down & the engine service light came on. I thought the engine shut off so I pulled it down into 1st gear & it took off again. Still sputters like there is water in the gas or something. Light will not go off. Pretty dangerous in heavy traffic. It actually didn't have any power what so ever. Pretty scary. I read there were several complaints of the same situation. Why has ford taken care of this as a recall?
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle cranked, but did not start. There was no warning indicator illuminated. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump was faulty and relocated the wiring case to the fuel pump. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the federal safety agency. The failure mileage was approximately 88,500.
While in motion driving, the vehicle unexpectedly downshifts into first gear causing control issues. This happens on the highway as well as city streets.
Takata recall, my timeline on 01/12/2018 I took my 2013 to goodyear to get 100,000 miles service. I had cooling system flush, rear differential drain and refill,transmission fuild exchange and replace platinum spark plugs at time of service odm was at 10205. On saturday 01/13 transmission shift was not smooth, I took tuck back to goodyear. I was told that all checked out good, but another quart of transmission fluid was added. I drove truck on local street and on highway no trouble. On tuesday 01/15 when I left home running errands truck took hard shift. I took truck to goodyear, I was told that technician drove truck no trouble found. On wednesday 01/17 I left house two times. First time out no trouble. Second time out I went out on my way back home truck hard shift several times. Then there was a sound like a buzz saw. Both trips where to the same location less than 4 miles round trip. On thursday 01/18 I called goodyear spoke with original service manager told him of trouble I wanted him to take a ride with me. We did he felt hard shift in transmission and heard buzz saw noise even dough sound was faint. He suggested and gave me a coupon for a free diagnostic test at aamco. I took truck to aamco on thursday 01/18 left truck over night. I picked up truck on friday 01/19, aamco found no trouble. On my way home truck was performing like it was before I took truck to goodyear. I was feeling good again about my truck then there was a unsmouth shift. Several miles later a loud buzz saw sound. This is saturday morning I am going back to goodyear and see what should be my next move. Again I had no trouble with truck before I went to goodyear. If I had transmission trouble I wouldn't have gone to goodyear to have it fixed.
Fuel pump fuse melted and I was doing some online research to try to find out the cost of part and repair, and notice a lot of ford owners having the exact same issue with the 2013 ford f-150
Truck would turn over but not start , no fuel was making it to spark as fuse for fuel pump had melted into fuel box and damaged it. This is a faulty setup and needs to be address before someones life is taken or injured badly.
Electronic throttle body failure. This is the second time in 18 months that the etb has failed, causing the truck to go into limp mode while driving.
Electronic throttle body continues to fail causing the vehicle to go into limp mode.this has occurred on 2 separate occasions. The first was in july of 2016. Replaced the etb through the dealership. It is now failing again.
Vehicle was moving, was parking in my driveway when it stalled and wouldn't start. Vehicle towed to mullinax ford, new smyrna beach, florida. Invoice # 191885. The wire from the fuel pump/relay overheated and burned the wire and the fuse causing the vehicle to stop. Fors is aware of this problem and even have a relocate kit el3z 14293 a to correct the problem. This should be a recall not a repair paid for by the customer. There is obviously a defect in the design and they even have a kit to correct.
Throttle body errors p2111. Vehicle suddently stalls and shutters. Recall issued for other ford vehicles with this exact problem. F150 ecoboost also needs to be included. This almost causes my family to be in an accident. Vehicle was traveling 32mph and coasting at the time. Lost all acceleration
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. While driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle lost power and shut off. The service engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road and towed to the dealer (joe cooper ford, tulsa, ok, 918‑346‑6500) where it was diagnosed that the fuse that controlled the fuel pump burned up. A manufacturer-issued fuse relocation kit was installed to repair the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.
Ford's ecoboost turbo has leak and needs to be replaced. Acceleration has decrease power and causes delay before acceleration finally kicks in.
Fuel pump malfunctions causing truck to dangerously stall out at highway speeds
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford f-150. The contact stated that the vehicle did not start and was not operable. Prior to the failure, the vehicle experienced a loss of power. The vehicle was towed to len stoler ford (11275 reisterstown rd, owings mills, md) where it was diagnosed that the fuse that runs through the fuel pump was defective due to the fuel wiring harness overheating. A new wire needed to be relocated to another fuse box. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 40,372.
On a trip, september 20th going to the smoky mountains, our 2013 ford f-150 pickup truck suddenly lost power. We were on mile marker 295 eastbound on interstate 40, in the left side passing lane going about 55 MPH up a hill. The engine stopped with no warning. The dash screen flashed a picture of a wrench and then said "low oil pressure." the oil pressure gauge showed no pressure. I thought the engine had blown. As I tried to navigate to the right side of the road, while on a hill, many semi-trucks slammed on their brakes trying to avoid my truck pulling a 5th wheel trailer. We miraculously avoided a possible major accident. Ultimately we learned it was a small $0.50, number 27, 20 amp fuse to the fuel pump that caused the engine to stop. We were stuck on the side of the road for 2 hours until we could get a tow truck for both our truck and 5th wheel. Ford is aware of fuse 27 (for fuel pump) frequently melting. They even have a relocation kit to move the fuse when it melts due to overheating because of its location. In our case this nearly caused an accident involving semi trucks.
Fortunately, we had just returned from avoiding hurricane irma after 1100 miles. A battery indicator came on at a stop light. It went away until 3 intersections and turns when I pulled into traffic on 66th st n st. Petersburg fl and quickly lost power. A message appeared on panel to put vehicle in park. I was able to coast to a left turn lane and had it towed to closest ford dealer that was open, walker ford. See repair invoice attached. I was fortunate in that it didn't happen in high speed merge attempt between heavy trucks! As the repair seemingly only relocates the fuse and does not address reoccurrence, I believe this was a life threatening safety issue and continues to be a life threatening issue!
After parking the truck, I came out and it would not start, had it towed to my repair shop, where I was told it was a burned wiring to the fuse for power to injectors. There is a service bulletin on this. But still it cost me $300.00
On first occurance, truck was in motion on highway. Vehicle lost power, gages zeroed out and engine light came on. Pulled over nad restarted vehicle and it ran fine and engine light cleared. Multiple loss of power occurances. Does not throw a code when diagnostics are ran. Tonight, when merging onto the interstate, while accelerating, truck lost all acceleration, all gauges stopped working and engine light came on. Restarted the truck, gages did not start working unitl truck was turned off a second time but the truck was driveable. Engine light did not clear.
Two days in a row my vehicle stalled after violently shaking the steering wheel, I had a complete power loss. I coasted to the side of the road and waited to restart the engine. After about 5 minutes I was able to restart my vehicle. The second time it happened I was one the way to the dealership. The dealership called me back to inform me that my vehicle was driven for 26 miles and could not duplicate. I have been researching online to see if there have been any issues. Back in 2013 an investigation was started for this issue. I spoke with the dealership and the service department told me they could not do anything because the cars computers did not throw a code. Not only did nothing happen ford did not mention any tsb that would help or fix this issue, after I asked about any tsb that would help or fix. Still I got nothing from the dealership.
Fuse #27 for the fuel pump is burning up on one side. Engine stalls intermittently. Will not restart for a while after.
Fuel pump fuse melted causing truck to lose power while on freeway. Very dangerous.
Hesitation stumbles erratic acceleration. Nothing happens when stepping on accelerator then suddenly takes off.
Made a turn at an intersection with my kids and my f150 ecoboost lost power. I thought we were gonna get hit. I have had my 2013 f150 into the local ford dealership 3 times for this issue. They tell me to drive it they are waiting for a new computer program from ford. Engine lite has been on for a month or more. Dealership keeps giving it back. Waiting on program. Vehicle I feel is not safe.
"fuel fill inlet" my truck recently displayed a warning that says "check fuel fill inlet". I've searched the internet and many ford owners have experience this issue across several models. I've checked the inlet and it is closed as it should be, I've cleaned the area in and around where the fuel nozel goes and there is no debris. This warning causes the "check engine" light to come on and thus generates an "evaporative emissions" code. The " check fuel fill inlet" warning intermittently doesn't come on and thus the check engine light goes off and I'm able to use my remote start. When it comes on I am not able t remote start my vehicle. My vehicle was stationary, parked in front of my house. I got in to start it and the light just came on. It is not an issue that ford is unaware of and ford owners have had this issue for nearly 10 years.
Motor warning light lit up and stayed on. Went to an auto zone and their computer showed fuel vapor leak. I was first told the gas cap may be letting out fumes but I have the capless gas input. The truck doesn't act any different but the warning light was a concern to me.
The 'check fuel inlet' warning randomly comes on although no debris is in the inlet and the fuel door spring and gasket are in good working condition. The happens randomly when I turn the vehicle on but is occurring more and more frequently.
For the second time in 9 months the throttle body on my ford truck failed. This time it presented a real hazard as we were towing our travel trailer and it's failure put us in a precarious situation as we're trying to merge onto the interstate. The ford dealer fixed it the first time under the extended warranty then the second repair they tried to evade payment. However, after extensive discussion, they found a it was covered by the warranty provided on the first warranty replacement. I realize the nhsa is aware of the problem, however the response is inadequate. The problem has not been resolved by ford, the safety risk is still there. Ford seems to be replacing a defective part with the same item. It continues to fail and now it's the consumer is has to pay the price, both having to pay to have the throttle body repeatedly replaced and risking their safety driving the vehicle.
Takata recall 3.5l ecoboost engine shudders at various times, stalls while driving at freeway speeds during acceleration (extreme hazard), in traffic (hazard), stalled when stopped quickly while backing, then crank no start after stall.
While driving down the highway, the vehicle flashed service advance trac, down hill descent control fault, trailer brake module fail and a couple more codes. All electonics in vehicle went blank, including all controls/gauges. Before doing so, last code read, shift to park. Almost caused me to have an accident, because the power steering went out and nearly pulled me into another vehicle. The acceleration is bad too, feels like it is not firing all cylinders again. Have already taken in for a number of issues, including crankshaft sensor issues(was losing power to driveline); brakes locking up (have replaced the rotors and pads six times and last time I replaced both calibers as well; power steering has been replaced once before, front axles and bearings replaced. As well as, AC problems. When the first issues arose, I was told by service tech at dealership I needed a new engine, (later he completely denied telling me this) instead they fixed some things and gave it back to me. Problems have continued since, like I said have taken it in at least 6 times to a dealer and once to an independent mechanic. At first the problems were covered by warrenty, now they are not, there is only 78,000miles on the truck and has been in shop at least 6 times and is only 4 yrs old. Not sure what to do, as the problems resemble recall issues, but dealership says they aren't part of any recalls. Concerned for my safety on the road.
