| Description of the problem | Since 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. |
