| 2011 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | SIX MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT MY TRUCK I NOTICED A SHUTTERING AND HESITATION WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SHUTTERING HAPPENS WHEN I AM CRUISING AT 55-60 MPH. MORE NOTICEABLY WHEN THE TRUCK IS CLIMBING A SLIGHT INCLINE ON THE ROAD WHILE LIGHTLY ACCELERATING TO MAINTAIN 60 MPH. I HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT IT 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE COMPUTER. IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. BROUGHT IT BACK THE SECOND TIME AND I WENT FOR A RIDE WITH THE TECHNICIAN AND HE NOTICED THE SHUTTERING. HE SAID THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT AND NO CODES TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. FINALLY THE THIRD TIME THEY SAID FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THERE ENGINEERS ARE TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION. I ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION. I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO COME TO A STOP AND THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED SO HARD I THOUGHT I GOT REAR ENDED BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME. *TR |
| 2013 | STEERING | WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET APPROXIMATELY AT 70MPH, I STEPPED ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE PAST A VEHICLE. THE TRUCK DID NOT RESPOND BUT DECELERATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND WITH ONLY SLIGHT PRESSURE TO THE GAS TO MAINTAIN SPEED. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 5-10 SECONDS THE VEHICLE REGAINED POWER. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME, SAME CONDITIONS SAME RESULTS. THE FORD DEALER SAYS ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH PARTS BACK ORDERED. THIS SEEMS UNACCEPTABLE IF ITS A KNOW PROBLEM. SOMEONE CAN GET IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IF THEY PULLED OUT IN FAST MOVING TRAFFIC EXPECTING ACCELERATION TO BE THERE. *TR |
