2013 F-150 Ecoboost 3.5 problems

My 2014 did what you describe just once. Immediately took it to the Ford store. They diagnosed a bad throttle body. It was fixed, at a cost of approximately $750. My extended warranty is now half paid for.

Mine has run fine since then.

I have a Ford F-150 Ecoboost 3.5 engine with 55,000 miles that is junk! First of all it just stalls without warning in the middle of freeway, highway, road, parking lot wherever it feels like it with out any warning anytime which make it very dangerous. I have a screen comes up with a large wrench on it but no check engine light. You have to come to a complete stop, put it in Park and start it back up, runs fine for a day or two or maybe just an hour, it varies. I took it to the dealership and they ran a diagnosis on it and nothing came up. They ran a history on it and still nothing. It's not under warranty anymore, they said its probably the fuel throttle body but without a code showing it could be several different things. Going back tomorrow spending 400.00 dollars hoping it fixes it.


Oh also the serviceman drove it to see if he could get the light to come back on, when he came back hes like, you don't feel that shaking when you apply the brakes? I'm like yeah but right now I'm just trying to keep it running not worried about stopping. He then said that my rotors were warped and more than likely will have to be replaced. He then asked me if I towed a travel trailer and told him a lite one and he said there's your problem. I'm like what? he said we've had several come in that had to be replaced caused they were warped. I'm like well what good is a tow package and a heavy payload package if it's going to warp the rotors? He just shrugged his shoulders.

What ya'll think? anyone else out there with this problem, I'm surprised no one has gotten killed from it just stalling like that, oh it goes into a limp mode but it want go, it just lets you turn and apply the brakes. very dangerous!!
