| 2011 | POWER TRAIN | WELL I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY TRUCKS I HAVE PURCHASED FROM FORD. WELL IN AUGUST OF 2011 I PURCHASED THE NEW F150 WITH ECOBOOST. THE TRUCK DROVE LIKE A DREAM FOR A WHILE THEN I STARTED HAVING ISSUE, WITH THE TRANSMISSION, THEN ENGINE LOSING POWER. THIS HAPPEN ABOUT 4 TIME DURING THE LIFE OF THE TRUCK.THE LAST TIME WAS IN JANUARY 2013, IT WAS THE LAST STRAW FOR ME. THE REPROGRAMMED THE TRANS/COMPUTER AND PUT A WIND DEFLECTOR IN THE FRONT OF THE INTERCOOL. STILL LOST POWER ON A ROAD TRIP ON THE WAY BACK HOME FROM S CAROLINA. MIND YOU THE TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP FOR TRAN/ENGINE/THE RIGHT FENDER HAD TO BE ADJUSTED IT WAS MISALIGNED, THE BED OF THE TRUCK SAME THING. THIS LOST OF POWER ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE A ACCIDENT BECAUSE I WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I ALSO HAD TO SUNROOF REPLACED AS IT WAS VIBRATING THE WHOLE TRUCK WHEN MOVING. THE DRIVER SEAT TRACK WAS REPLACED AND THE SLIDING GLASS WINDOW IN THE BACK WAS REPLACED TOO. THE DEFROST STOPPED THEN THE WINDOW STOPPED SLIDING. I STOPPED DRIVING THE TRUCK SO I COULD GET RID OF IT I HAVE A 2013 LIMITED AND HAVE SOME OF THE SAME ISSUE. NOW THAT I HAVE A NEW 2013 VEHICLE I EXPERIENCE SOME OF THE SAME ISSUE. *TR |
| 2013 | ENGINE | 6/08/13 WHILE TRAVELING FROM KINGSVILLE TO RIO HONDO AT 6 AM FOR A FISHING TRIP, I ACCELERATED HARD TO PASS A SEMI-TRUCK. MY F150 SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY IN THE BACK END, AND I FELT A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKED EXCESSIVELY BEFORE EXTINGUISHING. THE TRUCK RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION FAIRLY QUICKLY, WITHIN 5 SEC. I CONTINUED TO MY DESTINATION WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS, MAKING SURE TO LIMIT MY SPEED AND MAKE NO MORE HARD ACCELERATIONS. THE WEATHER WAS RAINY AND WET CONDITIONS. I INTENDED ON INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE ONCE I RETURNED HOME. 6/09/13 THE TRUCK HAD BEEN PARKED AND NOT DRIVEN UNTIL MY DEPARTURE ON SUN, 2 PM. ON MY WAY HOME I WAS FORCED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY ON HWY 77 ON RAMP FROM FM 107 TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC. THE TRUCK ONCE AGAIN SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY AND THE A/C BEGAN BLOWING HOT AIR, THE LOSS OF POWER WAS MUCH MORE SIGNIFICANT THAN THE LAST EPISODE AND I WAS FORCED TO PULL ONTO SIDE OF HWY 77 TO AVOID BEING STRUCK BY TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. THE ENGINE LIGHT BLINKED AND CONTINUED TO STAY ON. THE TRUCK RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION; HOWEVER THE LENGTH OF TIME BEFORE THAT HAPPENED WAS MUCH LONGER THAN BEFORE. I WAS CERTAIN I WAS GOING TO BE STRANDED AND IT WAS NECESSARY FOR ME TO TAKE EMERGENCY MEASURES. THE WEATHER WAS HOT AND DRY. *TR |
