 Description of the problemSince march of 2012, my 2010 f150 xlt, 4. 6 l v8 has randomly stalled at least 8 times. I feel that it is a tremendous hazard to me and my family. Stalling occurs when i'm exiting from the highway after traveling 10-20 miles at 45-60 mph, taking a turn (right or left), and slowing down for a stop. I usually have the a/c and radio on. My cell is also synched. The only warning i get is the power steering and brakes go out. Then a warning signal comes on. The first time it happened, i was turning onto a 2-way road. Power steering failure surprised me and i turned in to oncoming traffic. Luckily, i was able to avoid an accident and pull over in the oncoming traffic's shoulder. It restarted right away. Since then it's happened several other times in similar instances--when slowing down for a stop. Restarting is getting harder. It also happened after filling up at a gas station. It took me several tries to get it to start. Of course, the ford dealership where i have taken it cannot duplicate the problem and their computer cannot find a code. When they returned the truck to me, they said call them if it happens again, don't restart it because that erases any codes, and they'll send a tow truck. The next day it happened again, and i followed their directions. Not turning the key didn't help anything with obtaining codes, because they are still not getting any readings. I spoke with the shop manager. He thought it might be a bad coil causing bad radio frequencies, thus shutting down the throttle body (tb). He said he would test the coils and replace any damaged one. If that wasn't the problem, he would replace the tb. After 13 days, they still cannot figure out the problem, nor have they made any kind of repairs, except for performing a courtesy cleaning of my throttle body and "resetting" the truck's computer. I'm frustrated, and i fear i might have a lemon on my hands.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
