Second service december 28 / 2015 coolant leek, turbo hissing, cutting out hissing when under acceleration. Condition when in motion on city street and highway driving.

Transmission fluid pours out of overflow when under load (pulling a trailer). This fluid dumps on exhaust system and starts a fire. This accrued at 2,500 miles on june 25, 2011. Truck is still at dealer, no resolution.

At 50 mph while accelerating in traffic the engine shook and I lost power. This only happens with the ecoboost engine. Ford told the NHTSA this was corrected and the suit was ended. Ford will not install this repair in my truck.

I was driving to florida in my 2011 f150 ecoboost and on the highway at about 65 mph my truck started stalling and lost power miss firing and would not go over 10 mph causing me to pull over on the shoulder . I then turned the truck off and back on 10 mins later and it began to run fine agian. I took it to Ford and they say no engine codes went off so they did not know why it would do that.

My 2011 f150, at just under 60,000 miles, started to have the steering lock up. It can still be turned, but only with considerable effort. This seems to happen mainly on the highway after the wheel has not been moved for a few seconds. The dealer said the rack needs to be replaced (a $2k job), and it is not covered under warranty, which seems unbelievable.

2011 Ford f150 regular cab 5.4l started around nov 16, 2016 steering locks for a brief moment when executing turns. The steering mechanism grunts when moving the steering wheel back and forth. Electrical engagement of relay or motor several times per second when stopped at a red light. No warning lights. This occurs every time it is driven. Appears to be the electric power steering assist

Electric power assist steering failure, while making a left hand turn the steering failed part way through the turn causing the truck to go straight, because of this I almost hit 2 parked cars. When this happened the steering wheel locked up and I could not turn it. This is a known issue to Ford as there have been thousands of recall for these units from 2011 and newer, my truck falls in to the recall void.

I was about 3 miles from home when I started to feel the steering becoming hard to turn. About 2 blocks from home I had difficulty making a right and left turn till I drove up to my home, had some assistance in turning the steering and backing up the truck into drive way. After that steering went out. Had to get it towed to a Ford dealership. Had a to almost $2,000 for the repair

2011 Ford f150 starter problems. I've replaced starter on this vehicle multiple times and still have issue's. I turn ignition and all that happens is a screeching noise. After a couple tries it starts. Second issue is speed control issues. I was driving on city streets and all of a sudden my speedometer stopped working. My truck would not shift and had to manually shift gears.

When I'm accelerating the engine stalls, I may be leaving a stop sign climbing over an overpass or passing another slower vehicle. Seems to happen more often about 40mph to 70mph.

Spring of 2012 acceleration failed when overtaking a slower vehicle. My speed was about 60 mph. This happened on more than one occasion. 06/10/13. Vehicle engine began missing and vibrating when accelerating at any speed. I was driving about 45 mph. Have sent the pickup to the dealer for inspection/repair.

Electric vacuum pump went bad resulting in no brakes upon start up. Pedal became rock solid with no stopping power at all. Exactly 14000 miles after the first pump went bad, the exact same symptoms took place. Second one " out of warranty" because it was over 3 years old with only 28,000 miles. Ford "good willed" the repair.

Poor braking in the morning at 29,212 miles. Ford replaced brake vacuum pump assembly at no charge (under warranty). Same problem at 50,198 miles. No longer under warranty and I was charged $319.66 for the same part. I feel there is a problem with this assembly and it's a safety issue.
