2016 Ford F-150 engine complaints
Page 12 of 13: complaints 311 to 340 of 347, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While pulling out of my work parking lot onto the main road, my engine lost power and multiple lights lit up on the dashboard. I had to coast into the middle lane and then off into the post office parking lot to avoid traffic.
Was driving straight down a highway. Truck warning lights started appearing on the dash hill descent control fault, hill assist fault, service advance trac. Turn signals would not work and gas pedal was unresponsive. Truck slowed to almost a complete stop and began shaking violently as the engine was about to die.
Engine light flashing at 7,996 miles. On highway traveling 70mph engine began running very rough and began to decelerate. Engine light began to flash. Dealership authorizes long block engine change. Service: 172077d p0306 6049/42. Tsb 17-0007 and 17-2077.
On three occasions my truck has lost all power, once in a parking lot and twice while cruising at 45 MPH .outside temps 65 deg. And roads were smooth. Air bag light, wrench icon, service advance trac come on. Engine will remain idling regardless of gas pedal position.the engine is running on maybe 4 cyls. After the engine is turned off and restarted it will act normally. This truck is the 3.5 ecoboost with 11,000 miles on it and has been in service for 18 months.
As I was driving about 40 MPH, the truck suddenly decelerated to almost a stand still. Two messages appeared on the dash board info system. Service needed for hill assist and advance trac, or something similar. I had to drive home, half mile, at a walking pace which was as fast as the truck would go. There was no warning. This is a deadly flaw. How could you not have ford f150 in your database?
Truck lost engine power. Truck was still running, but pressing the accelerator did nothing. Electrical system still functioned (power steering and lights) and brakes worked normally. When this occurred, the truck started dinging, the airbag light lit up, and the productivity screen showed a 'hill descent control disabled' error message, airbag error, other errors and the wrench icon. Engine was still running, but idling very rough, like it had dropped a cylinder, and the truck was shuddering as it was idling both in gear, and in park. Resumed normal ops on restart. Dealer replace throttle body under tsb-16-0193 but this should be elevated to a full recall
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving 35 MPH, the vehicle lost total power as it rumbled and shook. Also, various warning indicators illuminated, including the powertrain fault, stability control, air bag, and check service manual. The contact stated that the running board failed to retract. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and restarted the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to ford & lincoln of smithtown (440 jericho turnpike, st james, ny 11780(631) 265-2340), but the cause of the failure could not be duplicated or diagnosed. When the contact retrieved the vehicle several hours later, the failure recurred and the vehicle was towed back to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but did not assist. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.
2016 f150 with the 2.7l ecoboost randomly dies after startup. Sometimes it will die while in motion almost causing an accident. There's no stored codes for the dealer. It's been in the shop 6 times total. The first time they put a crankcase vent sensor and then the 2nd time sparkplugs. It's dies and gone into limp mode multiple times but the dealer can't duplicate the problem so they can't fix it. It started at 9,000 miles and it now has 14,000 miles. I'm pretty sure it's the throttle body but they won't replace it without a code. It has happened randomly from march 2017 until today 8-13-17. I also have a recording saved on my snap-on scan tool of the parameters at the time it went into limp mode.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving 60 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning, completely lost power, and had very limited braking functionality. The contact was able to stop and restart the vehicle. Ford of monroeville, alabama was made aware of the failure and replaced the ABS and brake sensors, and reprogrammed the vehicle; however, the failure recurred at least seven times. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and provided case number: cas-12779235. The failure mileage was 8,558.
Engine cuts out with error lights on dash, no throttle response or power. This is very dangerous as it happened on a busy interstate at around 70mph. We had to get the vehicle to the shoulder without power narrowly avoiding other vehicles and large trucks. This fault endangered the life of my family!! They have tried to repair this vehicle already by replacing the throttle pedal.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford f-150. While driving at any speed, the vehicle made noises from the engine and transmission areas. The contact stated that the vehicle consumed too much fuel and the air conditioning blew hot air. Also, the oil low pressure warning indicator illuminated and flashed off and on. The contact also stated that the brakes squeaked and the front passenger side tire deflated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (koons ford in sterling, va) for diagnostic testing. The dealer found nothing wrong with the vehicle; however, the failures recurred several times. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the same dealer several times and, during one of the visits, the engine was replaced without the contact's consent. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and did not assist. The vehicle was not completely repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 40.
Takata recall the engine blew up after 3,400. Sucked all the oil in the exhaust while it was idling in dealership parking lot. Called me up told my engine blew up on them. There is 6 month run of bad engine and ford knowly sold me a truck made during those dates.
Engine stalls and/or dies while driving. This has happened to me twice on a new 2016 f-150. During normal driving, the truck mechanically shuts down causing a major safety hazard to me and other drivers on the road. This is not uncommon if you search online! The ford repair shop cannot identify the issue, they say.
On 1/25/16, in the rain, at 6 am, I pulled out from a side street near my residence on to a major road and was increasing speed. I traveled about 150 yards and was up to about 40 MPH. My truck suddenly decelerated to about 5 MPH very quickly causing my car to skid in the rain. There was no accident since traffic was light at the time, so I pulled into the median and put the truck in park to see what was happening and I could not discover anything wrong. I then put the truck in gear and tried to accelerate again but the car would speed up to about 15 MPH and then decelerate very quickly, almost giving it a bucking motion. After a few seconds the truck seemed to want to die, it would move and then seem to want to stop and die, and then repeat the process. I was able to get to the side of the road and park in a parking lot. I had my truck towed to the dealer and the dealer looked at it but said they couldn't find anything and had never heard of that happening to anyone before. I looked on the federal safety agency site and found that many people had had this occur in this model. The work order received from the dealer did not indicate that anything was adjusted or replaced. To date it has not reoccurred.
While driving about 20 MPH through a residential neighborhood, vehicle lurched and jerked with a large thud. Thud was engine failing due to no oil pressure - oil not getting to engine. Limped home, car not able to go more than 30 MPH to drive to dealership. Not shifting between gears. Had we been on highway, much bigger issue could have occurred - we were able to stop safely as we were in our own neighborhood. Ford is replacing engine but [xxx] (service manager at walker ford, clearwater florida) has told us this is the fourth 2016 f150 that has come back to their dealership for a full engine replacement, and decision was made to continue selling because percentage of affected vehicles is a gamble. We bought truck 1/2/17, engine failure occurred 1/26/17 at odometer reading of 844 miles. Dealership in possession of truck since 1/27/17. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Bought a brand new, 2016 f150 lariat v8 4x4. At circa 2500 miles the vehicle started to make an unusual noise when driving at 45 to 60-MPH. Took the vehicle for repair to the dealership. Dealership heard the noise also, but were not able to locate/fix it. They advised me to continue driving the car to see if the noise increased. At circa 3750 miles, I took the vehicle to the dealership for a second time since the noise was still present and evident. The dealership has kept the car for 10 days, and although the noise still can be heard, they dealership is informing me that they are not able to locate and fix the noise. They have instructed me to pick up the vehicle although they do not know what is wrong with it. I am worried to pick up a car that has not been fixed, that has a noise that was not present when new, and that is happening when driving at high speeds. The dealership/ ford must assume ownership of the vehicle since they can't fix it, and can't advise customers to keep driving the vehicle "since we can't find were the noise is coming from, there is nothing wrong with it".
While vehicle was in motion. Operating ok and then engine started to shudder and continued to do so. Weather was clear 75 degrees and sun shine. - engine light is on. Ecoboost engine with 4,200 miles. I turned the AC off still shudders. This has gone on now for 3 days. I am taking do dealer tomorrow 28nov2016.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. While the vehicle was stationary, fumes entered the cabin of the vehicle from the air conditioning system. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 17,000. Updated 01/05/2017
The truck has had issues with the hillassist failure, then check engine light then wrench light causing the truck to go from 45 MPH to 2mph without notice. The throttle bottle also went out on this truck causing the truck to go from 45 MPH to 2 MPH in traffic, this is the ford wrench light. On two seperate occasions, when starting the truck and releasing the parking brake, a parking brake malfunction light flashes, then when trying to move the truck into gear it will move from park to drive to reverse, but will not move. Please contact me asap. I have a detailed list of dates and occurances along with all email conversations with ford. Ford soes not believe this is a problem and seems to ignore the safety concerns.
While driving on the highway at approx. 60mph my ford 2016 f150 3.5l v6 lurched and stalled, experiencing a complete loss of power, throttle control and acceleration. This was the 7th throttle malfunction my f150 has experienced in the past 5 months. Each malfunction exactly the same. Since I am now forced to only travel in the far right lanes for safety, I had enough remaining momentum to veer my f150 off of the highway and bring it to a complete stop. With some effort my f150 struggled but was able to restart and traveling a low speeds I made it safely home. Due to the dangerous nature of this incident I have taken my f150 to the dealership twice so far. Ford believes the issue is the electronic throttle body, but they have been unable to fix the problem. Most recently I received my f150 from the dealer only 4 short days ago where they replaced the electronic throttle body, but it had no effect, the problem still exists. The malfunction only occurs during the most dangerous periods of driving, while on the highway/freeway. This malfunction puts the safety of the drivers and their families at risk unnecessarily. I have avoided collisions only by driving and staying in the far right lane at all times. It is only a matter of time before someone else experiences this problem traveling at 65mph on the highway and due to a sudden loss of power and complete acceleration causes a significant traffic accident. I hope this never happens but it is my grave and real concern for my own welfare every time I drive my 2016 f150.
While driving on a highway, vehicle's low engine oil pressure illuminated, vehicle's speed dropped to coasting level and had to pull to side of highway with no ability to accelerate. This is an extremely dangerous situation where there is loss of power and the engine would not restart. Oil level was checked and was near the high mark. The vehicle has 316 miles on it and had to be towed.
Loss of throttle response while driving around 25 MPH, check engine light came on and the engine was idling rough. Was able to drift over to the side of the road. Turned engine off then on with no change, turned off then on again and throttle worked normally but check engine light stayed on. Drove right to the dealer who determined it was a bad throttle body.
2016 ford f-150 2.7l ecoboost model with only 3,928 miles. This is the third time engine has cut off on me while driving/accelerating! Was taking a left turn from side road onto main road. While accelerating in the turn, engine started stuttering a few times (rpms would dip) and then it stalled out. Luckily I was able to complete my left hand turn without getting hitting by oncoming traffic and was able to pull over immediately. This time around the engine would not restart. Had to call ford's roadside assistance to get towed to nearest dealership. The last two instances the dealer could not pull a code or diagnose what was wrong so nothing was done. This time the dealership has a dead truck on arrival so they can't tell me that there is nothing wrong with it (service and diagnostics has yet to be completed at the time of this writing). I have been in touch with ford regional rep regarding my cases and I am told they cannot do anything until the dealer can diagnose what the root cause is. Obviously something is wrong. There are dozens of other complaints of engine stalling while driving.
Driving on interstate at approximately a steady 60 MPH. Without warning power loss and no response to accelerator. Error code p2111
Vehicle looses power without warning during routine driving and cannot be recovered. Warnings on dashboard display show "service advancetrac" and "hill start assist" along with all engine warning lights. Pressing down on gas pedal does nothing, must pull over and turn off ignition and turn back on to restore power. Happens numerous times and randomly. Occurred when driving on highway at 70mph and while on side streets at 45mph. Below is a link to video of the behavior. Vehicle is 2016 ford f150 purchased brand new with no previous issues and 7700 miles. Https://1drv.ms/f/s!ahzq4p0k1fqii7u1moy63ityroiqfg
While traveling on the interstate level terrain and a stationary cruise at 70 MPH, the wrench icon and check engine light appeared with a message to "see manual" at the same time the engine became unresponsive to accelerator pedal input. The limp home mode was not working and we could not get the truck moving again after stopped. I was able to shut the ignition off for about 2 min while I looked up the warning lights in the manual (only stated to see dealer immeadiatly) afterwards we were able to start and drive the truck to the next exit and home approximately 4 miles. This was a very dangerous encounter and were almost hit by 2 semi trucks while trying to coast over to the shoulder. We have owned the vehicle since new and had 8,827 miles at the time of the shut down.
Was stopped at red light in greensboro nc. Light turned green and I started to drive straight through the intersection when there was a complete loss of throttle response. I had to finish going through the intersection by momentum of the vehicle and gravity since there was no power. Fortunately there was no one else at the intersection or I'm sure I would have been hit. Was told by local ford dealer, green ford, problem was a defective "throttle body". 2nd ford vehicle I have been in, in less than a month, that this has happened (2015 f150-same defect - throttle body). Huge concern for safety of those of us who drive fords.
While driving the vehicle 157 miles from home I had the check engine light came on and vehicle had no throttle response. The vehicle would only move about 3-5 miles per hour. Very dangerous was crossing a large busy intersection almost got hit but another vehicle.
Second time engine stalled while driving in less than 2 weeks!!! 2016 ford f-150 xlt 2.7l eco-boost model. This is the second time the engine has stalled and shut off during driving! Not even 3,600 miles on it yet. Typical stop and go traffic during rush hour. Went to accelerate after rolling along with traffic (<10 MPH) and nothing happens. Tachometer stays at around 500 RPM and does not go anywhere. Since this was the second time this has happen within the last 2 weeks so I wasn't too surprised this time around. I put it in neutral and shut off ignition and try cranking it. Rpms would barely stutter around 400-500 RPM and would not stay on. Tried a few more attempts while still rolling in neutral. I had to brake to a stop, put it in park, and had attempted to crank it several more times until it finally started up and was idling correctly around 800-900 RPM. This is definitely a safety issue and should be investigated immediately. Dealer says oem has known issue with throttle body causing ford vehicles to stall while driving. Unfortunately, dealer says my VIN is not part of vehicle models affected by this issue. Obviously it is happening to the 2016 f150s. Both of my incidents did not throw a code so there seems to be nothing dealer can do to fix the problem for the moment. I do not want to keep driving this vehicle with this defective part and unsafe condition, especially with my infant son in the rear cab.
