2013 Ford F-150 Limited 4X4 Problem....
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- Just purchased a brand-new 2013 Ford F150 Limited 4X4 and it has only 230 miles on it. I took delivery of it yesterday and as you can see in the video the truck will not start. This is the third time that this had happened. The only way I get it to start is to disconnect the battery and then reconnect it. I've taken it to the dealer and they cannot replicate the problem and they state that there no fault codes showing up. I picked it back up this morning and as you can see the trouble is back. I tried to disconnect the battery again however this time it did not fix it. The truck is dead in the water.....the dealer had no idea what to do. Anyone have any similar problems?
**UPDATE**
The truck sat dormant in my driveway over the weekend. The dealer picked it up with a tow truck on Monday and took it to their shop. as of Wednesday, the truck is still at the dealer. When it arrived there the truck started with no issues. After it heated up they were able to duplicate the issue. The dealer states the are unable to locate the issue and suspect it may be one of 11 PCM modules however they cannot identify which one it is isolated to. They say the truck has to heat up and then they have only a 30 minute window to test each module individually so needless to say it will be time consuming to determine which one, if any, is the culprit.
NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM NOT A HAPPY CAMPER. I called Ford Customer Relations today and opened a ticket. Not sure what they are going to do for me but we will see.....
**UPDATE 2**
Today is Saturday and the truck is still at the dealer since Monday. They service writer called me yesterday and stated they have isolated the issue to a wiring harness with a bad connection. They still do not have a time frame as to when I will get my truck back. Ford customer service has been worthless. They have not returned any calls as of yet. Not sure why. I was told I would be receiving a call from the area manager within 48 hours, well that was yesterday. More wait game.....
*UPDATE*
Sorry, I forgot to publish the update and what was wrong. They finally found the problem after nearly three weeks. Turns out it wasn't the module itself but a bad solder with some of the wiring in the module. Ford corporate customer service manager wasn't a help either. He tried to pacify me which I didn't appreciate. They did offer me the premier maintenance plan which covers oil changes, tire rotations etc......Not much compensation with a serious problem like my truck had. Since the problem has been fixed I have not experienced the issue. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
*UPDATE 7/2014*
Well what I thought was a final update was for not. I hate to report the problem is back with some new ones too. The truck now has about 13000 miles on it. I took my family on a trip to Florida and I ended up getting stranded in Daytona Beach, Florida when the problem reoccured. I called the local Ford dealer for help. They stated they could not get the truck in to a mechanic until Friday, well today was Tuesday. Friday came around and when I arrived at the dealership the problem cleared up and they wouldn't look at the truck. Not even hook up a diagnostic computer to see if there were any error codes. The service assistant manager said they were extremely busy and since the problem cleared up there was nothing they could do. I even asked them to pull up the history and see what was fixed a year ago. Their reply? The history only stores for six months and they cannot see anything. I called the BS card and they replied that if everything was stored on every car there would be any storage left. Needless to say I was pretty pissed. I left the dealership and began to make the trip back home home and all seemed okay at the time, that is until I tried to pass an 18-Wheeler and accelerated. All of a sudden the check engine light started flashing and I lost all power from the engine. The truck started coasting. Luckily there was a rest area at the exact location I was at and I was able to coast the truck there. I turned the truck off and let it sit for a second and fired it back up. It seemed to be okay and the rest of the voyage back home was uneventful. Needless to say THIS TRUCK IS NOT SAFE. I have a call into the selling dealer who is trying to figure out whats going on. I have told them that the truck needs to go and be reacquired and replaced by Ford and I have had enough. I'll keep you posted to the outcome……………….
*UPDATE July 2015*
Well....FORD LISTEN UP....This POS is at it again. I am sick and tired of your people telling me it's fixed and it is good to go. You will not replace the vehicle even though I have video evidence the problem exists. The truck has been in the shop well over 60 accumulated days. How would you like to get stranded in the middle of no where with your family several times because of your faulty POS truck?
I would love to see a follow up video to find out what the problem was and how it was treated by the dealer. Obviously this would be frustrating but not catastrophic. It's under warranty. If its reoccurring I'm sure Ford will replace the truck. Nothing mechanical will ever be perfect. Working in the automotive industry every vehicle is comprised of thousands of parts (including fasteners). Even with a great supplier network and high quality parts, engineering & assembly problems happen. The failure rate of the new F150 is one of the best in the industry. I hope it got resolved.
A buddy of mine has three 2011 F150s (landscaping company) with the Ecoboost engines and all have 140K plus miles on them and no drive train issues with any of them. They're used for towing trailers 80% of the time. Lemons exist across all brands.
When u say drive train, what does it mean?
@@ramargate Drive train PCM, flexplate, torque converter, transmission, drive shaft(s), then finally differentials/axles and cv or ball joints. Everything that is between and moves power from the engine to the wheels is the drivetrain.
This EXACT thing happened to me today. My shade tree Mechanic came and fixed it in 15mins for 7cents! It was the #10 fuse on the INSIDE of the truck. It somehow gets corroded and causes this. I replaced ut and haven’t had any other Problem’s! 👌🏾👍🏾
B Chappy did this fix it?
The Ecobust is totally not worth the hassle. I have a 2011 5.0 with 142k on it and I haven't done anything other than routine maintenance and some little preventative maintenance here and there. I use it for work and it tows quite often. I would recommend it for anyone!
i have 142K on my ecoboost and no problems either.
i guess that's all well and good if you want a slow, boring truck.
I'm not much of a Ford fan, but in all seriousness, this is why computers need to stay out of vehicles. Stupid fucking sensors.
farmerallis theres computer failure lol
To all the ford haters, do you realize how many are out there that have no problems ever? That's why they are the best selling trucks of all time. My question is why are people watching this video if you hate Ford? You should be watching videos to keep your ram and other foreign crap running.
As a auto technician I can tell you its not just Fords......ALL vehicles get problems.
So to all that comment "shoulda bought a Chevy or Nissan, or Dodge....relax a little ive seen ALL brands fuck up even only a couple weeks old!
At least they are being honest with you and trying to fix the problem.
Sorry you had a bad experience. At least your truck is fixed and you have a top of the line maintenance plan!
I never have been a Ford guy myself, I always drove GM trucks bcause I worked for GM... untill 2011 when I test drove a Ford with ecoboost and crew cab. Needless to say I bought it soon after returning to the dealersip. we love it. it out performs my GMC K2500 with a 7.4 engine in it in every aspect. The Ford will pull our 31 ft travel trailer with ease. and I have pulled it at 95 mph (only a time or two...too spooky) and Ford has a great trailer tow electronic program built into it when hooked to the traler. As for me I would buy another one
I just encountered a stranded person with this issue. Thank you for the updates in the description
I am a Ford Truck guy thru & thru, but these Hi-tech "wunder-truck"s give me the creeps.....So you are sending a "start request"? to the trucks computer? As our lousy computers do seemingly every day...you "request" it to do something? What happened to Commands? I turn the key & I ORDER you to start, or at least try! What's next? I turn the wheel to the left & my 2020 Ford will consider that a computerized "request"? Rather than spend some $50K worth on a rolling computer array, I think I'll just "perfectly" restore a classic 73-74 F250 & put the newest & best powerplant & trannie to make it go...Screw this technology!!
That make sense.
Yes, tech is wonderful when it works, and a pile of crap when it doesn't with no happy middle huh? lol. Perfectly restored classics are very cool, I'd say do it!
after two new f150 trucks I am getting that same feeling
my old trucks never have these hidden issues
*****
Having worked on cars since 1984, now semi-retired, I was "along for the ride" as computers started to be incorporated into the various systems...I so-called left the business as the computer count was at three, one for the engine, one for the transmission & one for the "other" (They called it the 'body' computer).
Today I've heard the count is up to Twelve computers...12 !! Kinda like your Twelve peers as it were. No, no.....I'm looking at the 68-74 F250.....The powerplants are a separate issue.....Don't bother with Automatics, they are now "joined at the hip" to their respective engines. Strong reliable Manuals are still being made. Edelbrock now has a 700HP supercharged crate engine at Five liters(302CID) worth of displacement. Tied into a Tremic TKO manual will slide right into any old truck. What electronics there is, is a stand alone pure-engine computer....no interference with the starting/charging systems, nor anything else. Those power numbers could only be had with a well built old-school 460 powerplant....the new stuff is just that much better now! Too bad they dropped the ball with the rest of the vehicle. I won't even get into ABS, Traction control & all the other "nanny" systems.
Its sends a start "request" to the computer for a number of reasons. These newer trucks usually have an auto-idle stop/start function you can use, where it kills the engine if you are idling in traffic and restarts it as soon as you press the gas to move again. The computer needs to have the "authority" so to speak to be able to shut off and restart the engine on its own.
It also has a lot to do with scumbags who steal cars. Your 73 f150 could be stolen in short order by any dummy with handtools. Modern criminals are now able to hack and challenge even fairly sophisticated chip-key cars from the earlier 2000s and the automakers just need to play the game. that means more embedded electronic modules that are more complicated.
And trust me they don't. I've experienced Ford's favorite word when it comes to owning up and fixing problems and it's called tolerance. My uncle had a front end problem on his Ford (28000 miles) and they agreed to fix one side but told him that the other side was within tolerance. Long story short he had to end up going to a shop and having the front end rebuilt at his own expense. I look for the make that has the most recalls because lets face it no ones perfect.
i am writing this for my cousin, He had 2009 ford, with this problem, and he now has a 2013 with the same problem,He contacted the dealer, only to hear they have never heard of this problem,, B.S, anyways he found his own fix for his,
All the battery connections have an anti corrosion coating on them. from the factory, Clean this off of all the battery terminals with a wire brush etc, it is minus 38c this morning and his truck started no problem.
Before his new ford would start in warm weather, but not in the cold, now it works fine, and it has been starting in the cold since he cleaned the terminals
hope this helps with all those fords out there
I bought my f150 eco boost new in 2013. Never had a single problem and I beat the shit out of it.
Mine is a lemon
Had lots of 2013lemons
That sucks mate. I have a 2013 Limited as well but mine is 2wd with not a single problem. Best of luck to you... I would be on the dealers ads until they fix it or get you a different truck.
If ya take time to make the video.. LET US KNOW HOW YA FIXED IT!!! Almost every video has no solution to the problems, just a bunch of what ifs.. I'd like to read some fixes to these problems. 👊😎
I love My F150!!!! best trucks out there!!
Well mass production of 1000 vehicles per day. The margin for error is pretty well controlled considering.
Another common sense and logical response! I like it!
Having the same issue and it's the most frustrating thing ever. Being stranded in a new vehicle is unacceptable. Save yourself the trouble and buy a different truck.
Thank you for this information. I'm having unexplained electrical too.
I am having similar issues with my 2010 Ford F-150 with 5.4L engine and 6R80 transmission. I've taken it to the Ford Dealership and they re-downloaded the TCU computer to latest update... issue still existed. I took it back to the Ford Dealership and they said it was valve body/tranny solenoid(s)... I told them to give me my truck back because I didn't think that was the case. Ended up sending out my PCM (which has the ECU and TCU boards on it too) to ModuleExperts to have refurbished... they informed me that pcb to processor linkage was defective and unrepairable on the motherboard and was forced to purchase a new remanufactured PCM. I received the PCM and installed into my truck and then took to a local mechanic to have the PCM reprogrammed to my VIN to get it started again. The shop reprogrammed the truck and it cranked up a few times, then died once again (similar to yours, wouldn't crank when turning over). Needless to say I am out of options and feel like the Ford Dealership was pulling my fingers, myself and other mechanic friends have no idea whats going on, and the truck is at my mechanics shop being further diagnosed.
*** Disclaimer: I had a SCT X4 tuner hooked up to my truck and I ran MPT custom tunes (been on truck since September 2016). In December, 2016 I had a bad hydraulic lifter stick on me and it chewed up my camshaft (replaced camshaft and all hydraulic lifters - driver side). The day after I got my truck back I was experiencing similar symptoms as you have. Symptoms include: 1) I'll drive truck and stop somewhere to turn off, go to crank over, and randomly completely dead and wont even crank over 2) I'll be driving and if I'm driving in stop and go traffic the truck will start to reprogram itself and go into limp mode (stuck in 1st gear) and when I turn off the truck is completely dead when I attempt to crank over 3) I'll have the truck sitting and running at idle in park or neutral and then after about 7-10 minutes the truck will start to reprogram itself and go into limp mode and when I turn off the truck is completely dead when I attempt to crank over.
I know the solution to your issue was bad PCM, but if anyone else has experienced these issues and repaired their truck please enlighten! Thank you!
Reminds me when i bought a brand new 98 contour. The day i bought it i had to take it back to the dealer because it started cutting out. They found that during assembly they had a wiring harness routed wrong and it had rubbed through causing intermittent issues. They fixed it and i owned the car for about 12 years before selling it to a friend and his daughter is driving it to this day. However nothing is more frustrating than spending that kind of money and having problems.
mr . good night. .. first your video helps a lot .. and second thanks... but my question is that I have the same problem... and what was your solution thanks blessings
good to know, might be thinking about upgrading from ranger to f150 but would like to know about problems they have before I buy. Thanks for the video. No people, I wont argue whose better in manufacture. If its a truck, its fine by me.
There's a problem with the ecu. The truck itself is probably good.
A common sense and logical response! WOW!!! (I'd shake you hand!)
Look at all the crap on here. My god, one faulty part, and people lose their minds! Ford sucks! POS!! fix or repair daily!!! No dodge sucks, Buy a chevy!! Chevy sucks!!
All you brand loyal crazy people need to understand that ALL manufacturers have cars that were built on a Friday at five, by some asshole, that doesn't care, and just wants to go home. The result, is some poor guy, that just bought a very expensive paperweight.
Matthew Fant I just love these ignorant Internet tough guys on here. Amazing the ignorance. So being that there are more of these trucks out on the street than any other of course there will be shown more flaws. But per truck sold there are less issues with these than others. You always hear about the bad, the only good you see is in forums or not at all. I have a nightmare story from my 05 Malibu I can share. Or my brothers 04 Duramax, or my ex bosses 09 Tundra, etc, etc.... I can also share that my Ecoboost is an amazing truck and love it. Tows my 8500 lb camper and 1600 lb boat just fine at 2000 RPM. I'm not scarred or worried about the Turbos since you can purchase them cheap. As for the Tundra fan above, my 2012 MSRP was $43k, with all the incentives I purchased for $32k. The less equivalent, same yr trucks are on lots for $30-$33k. Not sure how his math is but it looks like I've basically had a free truck for a few years and will use that equity to get the 2015. I'm glad to see you have a level head sir.
great looking truck! at least the power deployable running boards still work.....
🤭🤪
I just purchased March 2017 a used f150 fx4 eco boost with 49,000 miles on it..... I had the same stalling/wrench sign problem with it this very day twice .... coasting by the grace of God off to the side of the highway onto the grass.... wrench light when both times .... scary as it was I am not sure what to do now... I vowed not to ever go back there due to the way I was had (another story) but now I have to go back monday as I do have a SUPPOSED 90 day warranty remaining.... maybe the eco boost... I did have to replace the previous battery with a new one a couple of days after I originally bought the truck .....
I'm torn. I am a loyal Ford owner, but if I had this many problems with my new F-150 I would drive it through the dealers front windows. I still believe Ford builds a better product than most, I just think that they all build the new cars too fast today. I worked on an assembly line when I was younger and the moto was make the numbers and we'll fix the problems later. That is one thing that needs to change throughout every industry today. If I were Ford's CEO I would be reading posts like this and finding out why I have unhappy customers that just spent 45K on a top of the line limited edition truck! Then even if I could not fix the problem myself, find someone who could make this Ford owner happy and buy another Ford later. What ever happened to the good old days when making the customer happy was top priority?
All rudeness and disrespect aside, I'm sorry about your luck. This would suck big time if you had an emergency. The truck is pretty, but looks aren't everything.
Trevor, $67000 for your Ford Limited? Little over 54 for mines so one of us got a deal. This guy never stated how did Ford fix the truck as in what caused the problem or is it still broken. Please post another video showing if truck is broken/fixed and how you love/hate the truck now, that would be informative.
Folks this goes to show you that these Modern Trucks won't the old trucks from the 90's. I have a 96 Ford F150 with 5.0L Windsor V8 with 205,360 miles on it and it's still going strong. The only thing I replaced on my truck was the starter but other than that mostly was just simple maintenance and cleaned out the transmission fluid just to get rid of the shuttering it was making and it hasn't had a problem ever since. Call me a Redneck or a HillBilly but that is a real fact.
I've got my 2010 4.6 V8 with 141k Miles. Stills runs strong.. I haven't had to take it into any shops... Just normal Maintenance.. Oil, Plugs, and Tires.. All I'd have to do is put a CIA and I'd be pushing just as much Horsepower as the EcoBoost. However I don't really see the point in it except maybe a gain in 1-2 MPG.
I am looking at getting a F150 4X4 but in the V8. My hat is off to you and I know how you feel. I had a Chrysler that had a blown engine which had a bad oil ring on one of the pistons but I had 36000 miles on it so they would not replace it. I hope it continues to run good for you.
I had the same issue with my 2013 ford f150 eco boost fx4 . I checked all my fuses and they were good , then decided to check my relays and it turned out it was my starter relay. Changed my starter relay to a new one and haven’t had any issues . I hope im able to help with this information.
I read all your updates. But I'm curious. What was the final decision you made or the dealer made to make you a happy customer if anything? I'm assuming ford did absolutely nothing to help eliminate tension already built up.
For being #1 in rated trucks they sure do fall last in customer satisfaction
This video makes me miss carburetors haha
I have a 2013 ford F150 King Ranch Ecoboost I purchased it December 2013. I too have had PCM issues with it starting in Sep. 2016. Same fix after being stranded, coasted to a stop and truck was dead. Then i cranked up in 10 min. and we made it home. Two months later i captured Video of it acting up telling me to put it in park and then the truck tried to go to park while still rolling! A trip to the dealer reveled nothing on the Memory because I have to clear it by unpluging the positive side of the battery and holing it to the negative wire to clear the PCM. The dealer tore into the fuse box under the passengers kick plate side wall ( and Broke then replaced the Ford logo plastic floor plate that covers the wires) they could not fine what was wrong but said that they could not get it to act up again after they witnessed it as i drove in to leave my truck with then for a week. They returned the truck to me at no charge and Until 8/17/2019 it has worked fine. Now it is doing almost the exact thing as rwmgd2's was doing. Coding at P2112. I thought I would let everyone know there are more of us with this issue. Dealer said Drive train warranty is 7 years.
Ryan....the truck has been at the dealer now for a couple of days now. They have no idea what's going on with it. I'm waiting patiently....for now....on a resolution. Not a great way to start out since I've only had the truck for four days!
After a lot of research online I could not find anything that could help me solve that same problem on my 2013 F150 Ecoboost (basic XLT). Some people took it back to a dealership and have them replace some modules but did not give a lot of details. It was extremely dangerous when the truck shutdown when I was making a turn after a traffic light.
I did not solve the problem but I figure out why my truck was doing that.
EVERY TIME AFTER I PARK, USE THE E-BRAKE AND TURN OFF AND ON THE TRUCK, THE DASH AND TRUCK WILL GO CRAZY WHILE NORMAL DRIVING.
This happened to me many times until I figure out how to make a "reset" on the system.
TEMPORARY SOLUTION:
IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, STOP THE TRUCK BUT LEAVE IT RUNNING, SHIFT TO PARK (P), PRESS AND RELEASE THE E-BRAKE AND THE PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY.
THE PROBLEM WILL COME BACK AGAIN IF YOU USE THE E-BRAKE, TURN THE TRUCK OFF, TURN IT BACK ON, RELEASE THE E-BRAKE AND DRIVE (AS NORMAL).
YES! it sounds weird but it worked for me.
Hope this helps somebody else.
What was that weird laugh when he opened the door? lol
That f-in sucks man. What a huge let down, buying a brand new limited only to take it back to the dealer. I have a 2011 limited and havn't had any problems, yet. I love my truck thus far.
I have this truck. It has 1800 miles on it now. I have not had any issues at this time. Take that shit back. Major Red flag on that one. Best of luck to yo. Im very sad.
I think it's rather ridiculous that these men get all butt-hurt and get incredibly offended when someone talks shit about a specific car manufacture. This man clearly posted the video for answers from fellow truck lovers, yet get's a video that is torn to shit because everyone gets racists, insulting, and throws out crazy slurs over a piece of metal with wheels.
Friend had similar, minus the no start, but every warning going through on his 2014 F250. They said there was a bad Canbus wire. It was "repaired", but came back months later.
I gotta 2013 4x4 lariat, and soon as I got it like a week later my Check Engine light came on... and I fixed it and no lie a day or too later it came back on, I truly can not wait too pay thus truck off and upgrade too a GMC or Chevy
Any time the wrench comes on it goes into limp mode it always a throttle body problem All my 150 have had this happen
How do you fix the problem
@@aristeourias8756 I had to replace the throttle body and it runs great now
Thank you for answering
I can it been a throttle body of just the wrench sign popped up but it’s every warning notification that is popping up, Their for the PCM is at fault and not communicating correctly
Truth is every brand has issues, I currently own and love a 2013 F-150. Take it back to dealership and if they give u problems call the regional ford dealership manager the dealership hates that shit your problem will be fixed soon after
Sorry to here about your truck being that way! I like the ecoboost except all the problems that come with them sometimes! Not trying to be a jerk about what trucks better and what not but check out some of the new chevys there great looking trucks! Just people being stranded because ford can get something right is an eye opener for people buying new trucks!
damn I just bought a 2013 STX last Saturday it had like 85 miles on it I hope I don't have any problems even though I do have a 3 year warranty I'm sorry you're havin trouble with yours man I've always loved F-150's
Trust me you won't have any problems
If it's a ecoboost that's your first mistake could possibly b the computer? It said engine over temp and it's obviously not so something is bugging out
So what was the problem with your truck
It is crazy how these are the best selling trucks with problems which don't let it even start up. Sure would be a serious problem if it was an emergency to get somewhere.
They are "best selling" because people keep buying new ones thinking that will solve the problems existent on both them AND the old ones! This concept of planned obsolescence is really simple once you realize it of this rip off of an "American" car company! xD
Any Update??
Ugh I hate those chimes so much. Like a Fisher Price toy. Sad part is I've had great luck with Ford in the past, but like your dealership experiences, I've had nothing but bad luck with my 2012 Focus I ended up just selling it to Carmax. $100 Beater truck I bought works much better and has yet to give me any issues.
This happened to me three days after I bought my FX4 they told me it was something in the fuse box that had come disconnected under the hood.
It got crazy but disconnect the battery to reboot the system
that`s weird man do they know what`s wrong with it because that`s not good when you buy a new truck. hop they get it fixed wish you the best of luck.
Try unplugging the battery them plugging back in.
My friend just sold his 2009 lariat and bought a new silverado. He had all kinds of issues with his ford and said he loves the chevy! Learn from your mistakes.
pffft!
GET USED TO IT!
I have had nothing but problems and no responses from any complaints.
This is probably my last Ford.
Same shit with my truck turns out it was a studio truck means it was in the show which room made not to start my dealer didnt replace so regional ford did an investigation and replaced it free! The new on i have is a charm
Oh look, another ecoboost problem. Good grief, come on Ford.
Just had this problem. I hlchanged thr pcm relay under the hood relay number 10
Has the problem return after replacing Fuse?
With only 230 miles on it, I'd be unhappy. That's basically a weekend test drive.
What was the fix to this, I have exact same issue!?
Just had mine do this when transmission kind of jarred then slipped on me in what I thought was 1st gear. Large wrench symbol appears on dash. I hit ok, then small wrench appears. I drive for about five miles and it shows to be stuck in 5th gear. I pulled off side of road. Turned off ignition, waited about five seconds then started it again. That simple reboot made the little wrench symbol disappear plus transmission is working fine now. Now let’s see if it will stay fixed.
Did you figure your truck out ?
@@bradleyclark8139 Bradley, I sold the truck, but think the problem was getting software updates to transmission. Only had it two months or so after those problems, it didn’t comeback after the dealership did the software updates. Talked to new owner a month later, and still no problems.
He should of bought the 5.0L V8 fuck these turbos/high tech engines. Im a Chevy guy and considered buying F150 echo boost until i saw how much drama my boss was having with there echo boost. So bought a 2014 Silverado instead. Not one problem. Altho i don't like the cylinder deactivation in town tho it does great on the highway MPG so from cali to AZ i was getting 23.5MPG
Search on here Silverado issues. Lots of videos.
+Jesus Castillo 2012 ecoboost here, over 100k on it. not one problem . changed tires, brakes and oil. that's it.
This kind of looks like the same problem the focus has with a ground wiring not having contact with car. The focus also have its milage blanked but there are other faults like a anti-theft warning. Did you get the car fixed?
I have the same problem with the company truck. I think is the ignition switch and they get worse as your key chain gets heavier when you add more keys to it.
I had a friend who had a 2013 f150 5.0 and it didn't so much do that as it wouldn't hold a charge of if it was driven every day it was fine if it sat for more than a day the battery would drain he now has a 2014 Toyota Tacoma
MegaThunder70
Que es lo que tiene esa toroca la mía ase lo mismo
Your state have a lemon law? You got a lemon for sure!
My f250 6.7 is doing the exact thing ! Dealer can't figure it out .. What module was your problem ? Power train control module ?
I am not sure which one it was. All I know is it was a bad solder in one of them.
Really sucks that they're dragging their feet! Word of mouth is everything & it's sad because it's really a nice truck but... not a good look for Ford!
July 14,2023. now, my truck is a 2016 f150 5.0l 4x4 xlt, and bought in December put on it like 4k miles , was working great, suddenly my battery 🔋 was low at 10v not enought to start, so I recharged it to make sure work or if not so I can replace it with new one. So it got fully charged. Back at 12v. Drove about a 3 miles , them this 🔧 wrench appeared on my dashboard. All says see manual. So I did. And manual says . Illuminates when the system has detected a powertrain or an all wheel drive fault . Contact an authorized dealer soon as possible. That's it??? I have no idea???
I think it's time to get a lawyer and declare it a lemon.
Oh yeah... Toyotas NEVER have problems.. Do a You Tube search for "Toyota Frame Rust", and engine sludge for starters. Do an internet search. There's just as many people bitching about their Toyota's as there are American models. Only thing is, the American manufactures take better care of the customers then the Japanese manufactures. I have worked for GM, Ford, Mazda and Subaru and the difference was obvious. There is not a vehicle on the road that doesn't have issues at some point.
Did you ever discover the issue my trucks doing this and the dealer can't even solve it? They said they fixed it and soon as I left it did it again beyond frustrated I just got this truck ?
Electrical ghost problems like this are a nightmare to find even with all the best diagnosing tools and diagrams. Its obvious they can;t fix the issue with this truck once and for all. I'm not surprised but pretty choked that they won;t replace the truck for you knowing that it;s been a reoccurring issue of so many instances. There is a "lemon" law that would force Ford to replace your vehicle so look it up and see if you fit the parameters.
I have the same problem with my 2013 F150 XLT. The dealer claims that the after market light bar I installed is the culprit. How is this possible? I was told that moister is getting thru the connector and causing the PCM to miscommunicate. Now if this is true then it sould not be because of the light bar but the connector itself...any thoughts? rwmgd2 has your problem been fixed? Any way that we can compare notes? Thanks
Whenever there is an issue, and you have aftermarket items installed, they will point to those items, and ignore all common sense and logic. My advice, even though you may not want to hear it, would be to remove aftermarket accessories, and change the dealer you take it to. Once the problem has been fixed, reinstall accessories. Good luck bro, and i'm very sorry to hear about problems with your truck. I love mine, and i'd be pissed as hell.
What was the issue on your truck?
Breaking News. Toyota dealer is giving cash for all American junk ( clunkers). The list are Ford, GMC, Chevy, Cadillac and so on. Contact any Toyota dealer and you 'll be all set. Don't forget to mention ny name.
dude, lemon law. any updates?
I love all of these brand loyalists who say its broken because it's a Ford! No, it's not because it's a Ford. Every make builds lemons from time to time. I've had plenty of experiences where Fords last several hundred thousand miles (from Grand Marquis 4.6 with 215,000 to Aerostar 4.0 with 250,000 to Ranger 2.9 and 2.3 with 200,000), and yet people feel the need to mock Ford for trying new technology? I believe Ford should have done more testing with this engine before releasing it, perhaps they should have waited until the new 2015 model debuted to release it.
Man it's sucks when you buy a nice ass NEW truck and have to deal with this kind of crap..geez. When you want to waste3 hrs of your life let me tell you about my experience with my f250 Harley Davidson 6.0 power stroke I bought new in 2005. Ha. Let's just say ford bought it back by the time my yr long ordeal was over. I still love the new fords But this last time I chose a low option f150 cloth base radio just basic power options with the 3.7 v6. I love this truck and is trouble free. Good luck with urs
You know what’s mean ford? Found On Road Dead!
if you have wrench light problem change Main control Valve body simple
man! alot of new vehicles are having alot of problems nowdays.
New technology, not as simple anymore. But with time the electronics will improve.
My 2013 did the very same thing and it was the throttle body
How many miles on truck? Ecoboost? My 2013 with 5.0 only has 36,000 miles. No problems.
That's the problem with computer controlled crap nowadays. not just Ford but Chrysler, GM, Toyota, all of em. its fine and great till something malfunctions. i like the old carburetor engines and points. if i dont run right just clean the jets and points and plugs and shes mint... or better yet an older diesel. take care of it and it'll live longer than you.
I think alot of the problem resolving issues are that the machanics only know or are told to only fix what the computer tells them to fix.This could be because the factory (FORD) wont pay them for anything other than that.For some reason I think this is a Ford Motor Co issue more than a dealer issue.JMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Built ford tough" later after you left the dealership:WARNINGS SUDDENLY POPS OUT OF YOUR DASHBOARD AND ENGINE SUDDENLY DIES
Most recent update? I'm looking heavily at a 2013 Limited, used with 13K Miles. I want to know what has happened since.
Did this truck have a clean new vehicle title ? 230 miles, its possibly the real first owner got 100% of there money back on a state of federal Lemmon law. I don't remember if its just New York state or national but a dealer gets 3 try's to fix the same problem, if they cant fix it, the have to take it back at full price.
eric wsmith that's everywhere. when i bout my 09 focus it had 34000 miles after 2 days of driving it it started turning itself off and then restarting the engine. even going down the highway. also the horn would go off for no reason in the middle of the night doors locking and up locking on there own. they said they fixed it the first time and it did it on my way home from the dealer i took it back next day it died and wouldn't restart and i had to tow it the last 5 miles to the dealer. about 3 weeks later they call and say they fixed it it was a glitch in the operating system. so i drove it home and it was fine for about 6 days then it would start doing stupid shit again. id be driving and all of the sudden i had no gas pedal. then it would come back. even the damn radio would go to off mode on its own. so i took it back again and they had the car for 2 months no joke. so when i get the car back it was fine for 2 days and the got to were it would start and nothing electronically would work. so i call and told them to come get it. i went to a difference dealer and found the one i have now

This is what happens when things get over complicated if ford had just stuck with pushrods v8s and not gone to all of this overhead cam turbocharged nonsense this would not be happening but it's happening with all manufacturers not just ford . Just build simple reliable stuff we know they can do it .
Did you come to a resolution sir?
I just had the exact same problem on my 2013 ecoboost. Do you know what the problem was? My warranty expired and I'm gonna try to fix it, any ideas? Thank you

Have you declared the Lemon Law?
Rust is a result of the weather tell that to a Lexus I live in Canada and we salt our roads and these things seem to not rust.
So what's the update on your truck? I thought about buying one this December, but your vid makes me a little nauseous.
