1) due to a poor design, myself and multiple others users have had issues with faulty / poorly designed coolant hoses. These hoses would randomly disconnect or spill coolant. Currently, my truck is leaking coolant and even after replacing the hose, it is still occurring. See below link to thread: - https://www.f150forum.com/f70/2011-5-0l-coolant-leak-252081/ 2) it is a common issue for the back window to randomly blow out due to issue with design the heated windows. This could cause a hazard since the driver could be distracted when the window blows out. See below forum issue: - http://fordauthority.com/2017/12/another-ford-f-150-owner-claims-the-rear-window-shattered-despite-no-impact/ - https://www.f150forum.com/f38/exploding-rear-window-145329/ photos are in the forums.
Having lots of problems with misfires. Engine shakes and shutters during idle. If I try to pass a car on highway the truck will go iino a severe shake and then will not accelerate. Goes into limp mode and engine light comes on. Have to pull over and shut the truck down for a couple of minutes and then start back up. This is a constant problem. More pronounced during rainy days. Have replace coil packs spark plugs map sensors and still have not solved problem.
I took my truck to oil change next day I noticed some smoke from the hood, I think, is just some oil spill somewhere and it is all. But the smoke keep appearing every morning, I start using the heat and the smell of oil burning was inside, so I stopped and check what is going on I don't see anything, so I decided to take back to the dealership so they can check what is going on, before I make to the dealership the engine light starts blinking and the truck shaking when I get there I splain everything to the guys, they check everything and tell me the turbo has a like. They supported getting the truck fixed on next week, let's see how everything turns.
When I am driving,and I attempt to accelerate(press gas pedal) the engine loses power. I then have to coast to a stop and put vehicle in park,turn engine off and restart, and drive on. Sometimes it does it again.sometimes it doesn't. It's does it when I'm on road ways. Dangerous it happens in traffic.
While in motion at highway speed (55-70mph) and city speed (20-35mph)the vehicle lost power and/or hesitated upon acceleration several times over the course of 3 days the middle of may 2018. After diagnosis by ford dealership that timing chain on the ecoboost engine with only about 75,000 miles on it required replacement. About 5 days after timing chain replacement the hesitation returned and upon diagnosis by ford dealership it was determined the phasers were bad. Despite numerous complaints and reports of this occurring in 2011-2015 ford f 150 ecoboost models in america and canada ford refuses to admit there is a defect. While maybe not directly a safety issue I believe it is as one of the failures occurred on the interstae in heavy traffic while passing a semi truck and power was lost and evasive action had to be taken to avoid a collision due to the timing chain power failure. Can't argue with what actually happened, if that isnt a safety concern for ford or the federal safety agency I don't know what is. Defective system for 2011-2015 ford f150 ecoboosts
While accelerating up a hill traveling about 45mph the vehicle suddenly lost power and went into "limp home" mode. Fortunately I had enough momentum to make it to a side road as the country road had no shoulders. After shutting off the engine and restarting, everything ran normally again. Potentially very dangerous situation. Online search points to possible issue with the electronic throttle body.
Vehicle develops a coolant leak from the quick connect fittings on the turbo. The leak started at 30k miles. Fittings circled in green leaked first. Then the blue ones began leaking at 31k miles and when repairing the ones in yellow were required to be replaced as well
Truck has 46665 miles. When driving first 10 minutes (city driving) vehicle shudders, shows wrench indicator and goes into limp home mode (no accelerator). Have to pull over, turn off ignition and restart engine. Problem code shows p2112 (throttle actuator control system...stuck closed). This may happen 3 times in first 15 minutes of driving, but then goes away when car warms up. I have also noticed abnormal exhaust smoke and bad gas mileage. Having truck go into limp home mode in middle of traffic is very dangerous.
Etb. We lost power on are 2014 f 150 eco boost doing 50 plus miles an hour .. Out of no where it started to not accelerate and just shut down . Check engine popped on we managed to move to the side . It started up after two attempts then check engine light came on . It drove to nearest shop to have code checked they said oh its the etb.. That's recalled. So we explored and researching why it's not on recall. We were about a moment away from being slammed into the concrete medium from behind.
Engine coolant leaking from coolant recovery tank hose connection.
Turbo went in the truck which then cause engine and transmission damage. Mechanic says the engine, transmission, and turbos need to be replaced quoting over 10k. Also, a neighbor had a 2014 f150 do the same exact thing around the same mileage and I thought that was very odd.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving high speeds, the vehicle lost power without warning. The contact also mentioned that the accelerator pedal needed to be depressed forcefully in order to get the vehicle to accelerate. The vehicle was taken to simmons-rockwell ford (1160 co rd 66, hornell, ny 14843, (607) 324-4444) where the contact was informed that the timing belt was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 68,000.
Warped exhaust manifold resulting in broken manifold stud, exhaust leak and excessive engine noise
Timing chain rattle on start up, leading to complete failure
2014 f-150 3.5l ecoboost. Engine will completely lose power and go into "limp mode" with orange wrench. Dealer claims they cannot retrieve problem code so I bought a obd scanner and dtc code reads as p2112. This is the second time I will have to get the electronic throttle body replaced. The first time the truck had approx. 62,000 miles on it, this time it has approx. 111,000. This is absolutely ridiculous. Both times this part has failed I have had my entire family in the truck and have had to literally dodge semi trucks and other cars nearly causing serious accidents to make it to a safe shoulder. Waiting for a factory recall, I will not let this go. Im afraid to drive this vehicle at this point.
Throttle body went out after 40,000 miles. Driving down the road wrench icon pops up and a few seconds later the truck stalls and engine cuts out. Take it to ford and that part is not covered under my extended warranty.. Big surprise. Talk to customer service and there is nothing they will do either. So out 600 because ford knowingly sells these vehicles when they know that thousands of people are having the exact same problem.
While traveling 75 MPH on my way home from work my truck just shut off. There were only 2 lanes with no shoulder. I could have been killed or killed others. I got lucky. I took the car to our local ford dealer and they diagnosed it and said I needed to replace the throttle body. Of course I am out of warranty and being force to pay the $400 bill. The service guy proceeds to tell me that ford knew about this issue years ago but it's not common any more. Why on earth was this not recalled. If ford knew about a problem with their vehicles that could potentially kill their customers or other travelers then they should have done the right thing and recalled the vehicle!
While driving the vehicle and in motion when passing another vehicle the vehicle started to stutter and lose power. The engine icon started flashing. The icon went away shortly after this but this is the second time this has happened. After checking online there are several issues in regards to the 3.5 ecoboost engine doing this.
I was driving down the highway and my 2014 ford f-150 lost all engine power. My engine was still running but my gas peddle would not work. I was passing a semi truck when this happened. My dash board had the little wrench turned yellow. I turned my engine off and restarted and vehicle ran again like nothing every happed. I took the vehicle to ford dealer and was told this is a know issue with said vehicle. My truck had 35,863 miles at the time of the incident. I was told a vehicle is still under factory warranty it would be fixed for free but parts are all on back order. I was advised I could still operate my truck until parts arrived. Today I was driving to work and merging onto the highway and again my truck lost all power with engine still running again. I was again able to shut vehicle down and restart but check engine light is now on. This time I was almost rear ended trying to exit the highway. *note: I did purchase this vehicle in canada while working in canada for the u.s. Dept of state so this will be a canadian VIN
The trucks overheats and ignition coils fail. This mainly happens when traveling through the mountains.this causes the truck to lose power and leaves me stranded on the highway broke down. This has been a problem ever since I purchased the truck new. Ford has been absolutely no help in solving the problem. I have documentation of over ten ignition coils failing and multiple engine over heatings.
3 times within a 2 month period while driving, my truck displayed the wrench symbol in the evic screen and it went into limp mode.(the most recent was 2-28-18) pulled off to the side of the road, shut it down and restarted. Than it worked as nothing happened. Thank god I was not in heavy traffic or towing. This is an accident waiting to happen.
Sounded like an exhaust leak coming from engine compartment 71604 miles .. Loss of power.. Needed to have exhaust manifold and gasket replaced 9drivers side).. Previous issues-- ring and pinion 62,500, throttle body 67900

While driving down the interstate at 70 MPH. Truck died completely, dash flashed "put into park" my 15 year old son was driving and has sence to put it in neutral instead. He manuvered to the shoulder from the inside lane. The truck interior lights come on, but nothing else. No power to anything when key is inserted. We are lucky we weren't killled. This happened last saturday january, 27 2018. Road conditions were dry and it was around 50 degrees. 65,000 miles on truck. 2014 f150 eco- boost 3.5
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. While driving various speeds, the power train fault warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle's power seized. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after one attempt, but the failure recurred several times.

The coolant in my vehicle had leaked out at the first sign of unusually cold weather here in atlanta. I had to wait a week to get the hoses/orings to fix my vehicle because ford co. Reported that the parts were unavailable because several thousands of vehicles that had the same failing parts were trying to order during the cold weather last week. Now that is is replaced, it is still leaking the coolant out. My mechanic says leaking this much coolant is a safety hazard due to it harming engine/motor and vehicle fire. The hoses and o rings last week that they put on may also be compromised., as they are leaking too. Sure would like to bring this to attention of ford co.
