Ford F-150 Engine Safety Report | Jan 11, 2014
Reported on Jan 11, 2014
| I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE RAIN FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS, WHEN I NEEDED TO PASS A SEMI-TRUCK AND PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO ACCELERATE THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHUDDER AND STALL, WITH AN ACCOMPANYING FLASHING MIL LIGHT. I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND THE MIL LIGHT BECAME STEADY. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SHUT-OFF THE TRUCK AND OPENED THE HOOD TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY OBVIOUS CAUSE TO THE MISFIRE CONDITION...AND THERE WAS NOT. I RESTARTED THE TRUCK, BUT THE MIL LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED STEADY. I DROVE CONSERVATIVELY HOME AND HOOKED UP MY CODE READER TO THE OBD-II PORT. IT SHOWED CODES OF P0300, P0305, AND P0306...THE FREEZE-FRAME DATA SHOWED THE CONDITION OCCURRED AT 65 MPH AND 2578 RPMS. I CALLED THE DEALER AND SETUP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE TRUCK INSPECTED. THE DEALER APPLIED FORD TSB 13-8-10 AS THE FIX (DON'T KNOW IF THIS WILL FIX THE MISFIRES OR NOT). MY TRUCK HAS THE 3.5L ECOBOOST MOTOR. | |
