2009 Ford F-150

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED WITH 151,000 MILES ON IT. IT RAN GOOD FOR A COUPLE WEEKS THEN IT STALLED WHEN I WAS GOING INTO A LEFT HAND TURN BUT RESTARTED. IT REPEATED THE PROBLEM A FEW MORE TIMES THEN WOULD NOT RESTART. I TOWED IT BACK TO THE USED CAR DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY REPLACEDD THE FUEL PUMP. THAT LASTED ABOUT 2 WEEKS NOW THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. I SEEN MANY OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRUCKS. FORD NEED'S TO TAKE CARE OF THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THE VEHICLE STALLED UNDER ALL CONDITIONS. AT A IDLE, AT 70 MILES AN HOUR ON THE INTERSTATE, IN THE CITY AT 40 MPH

MY TRUCK STALLED WHILE ENTERING FREEWAY LANES. I WENT FROM 60MPH TO 10MPH AND WAS NEARLY READ ENDED. THE TRUCK FINALLY STALLED JUST AS I MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER. TWO HOURS LATER, MY TRUCK STALLED WHILE DOING 40MPH ON A SURFACE STREET. I HAD TO PULL INTO A CENTER TURN LANE TO AVOID BLOCKING TRAFFIC. FUEL WAS AT HALF A TANK. OIL LEVEL WAS GOOD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES. THE CONTACT REFERENCED TSB NUMBER: 15-0137 (CRANK NO-START, STALLING) AS A POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER (MOSSY FORD, 858-273-7500) WAS CALLED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 125,000.

ON DECEMBER 15, 2017, WHILE DRIVING ON I35 IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS, THE F150 AUTONOMOUSLY ACCELERATED TO MAXIMUM RPM AND WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON. WE WERE FORCED TO RIDE THE BREAKS HARD UNTIL WE WERE ABLE TO EXIT THE FREEWAY, PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND BREAK TO A STOP. WE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE STILL WENT TO MAXIMUM RPMS SO WE SHUT DOWN THE VEHICLE AGAIN. FIVE MINUTES LATER WE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE PERFORMED NORMALLY. WE DROVE IT IMMEDIATELY TO OUR LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THE LOCAL AUTO REPAIR CENTER WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE SHOWS NO FAULT CODES. UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET, WE DISCOVERED NO OPEN RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND WE ARE NOT THE ONLY FORD CUSTOMERS TO EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE.

AT LESS THAN 63,000 MILES, MY FORD F-150 5.4 LITER ENGINE IS FAILING. I JUST RETURNED FROM THE DEALERSHIP EARLIER TODAY WITH OVER $2800 WORTH OF REPAIR ESTIMATES; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND RATTLED WHEN IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT AND APPEARED TO BE OVERHEATING. VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT, GETS REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE, AND IS DRIVEN MAINLY ON HIGHWAYS. I DO NOT PULL ANYTHING (BOATS, CAMPERS, ETC.). INTERNET FORUMS ARE LOADED WITH COMPLAINS ABOUT THIS ENGINE AND ALL SURROUND THE CAM PHASERS AND LOCAL ENGINE PARTS FAILING. FORD HAS NO RECALL AND WILL DO NOTHING! I HAVE A CASE IN THEIR SYSTEM AS OF THIS EVENING AND WOULD LIKE THE GOVERNMENT TO START ISSUING GUIDANCE TO CONSUMERS AND GET A RECALL PROCESS UNDERWAY. ISSUE WAS FIRST NOTICED WHEN I TRIED TO START THE TRUCK ONE NIGHT IN MID-JUNE. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT IN MID-JULY TO GET THIS DIAGNOSIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD F-150. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE TURNED OVER BUT DID NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHO REPLACED THE #27 FUSE AND RELAY, BUT WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO REPLACED THE BATTERY AND FUEL MODULE IN THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND TRANSFERRED THE CONTACT DIRECTLY TO THE NHTSA HOTLINE TO CHECK FOR RECALLS AND TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.
