Truck was fine then while driving at about 35mph truck went into regen then the check engine light came on and truck went into limp mode... Stopped turned it off, light went out truck ran fine for a few minutes before the regen restarted, then it went back into limp mode! Luckily the dealer was close, limped it there at 35mph only to hear them say they had no idea what was up or what to do, gave them a couple of hours and they are still clueless! I am supposed to go 6000 miles next Friday and I am getting nervous. They said because we hadn't purchased the extended warranty we couldn't have a loaner! I guess when you spend 55k on a truck it isn't enough. Any ideas? Dealerships around here are retarded!

 

[ville]

The first time I took it in the dealer they told me they had never heard of this problem, they did something with the electronic because when I got my truck back the electronic board had been modified I lost the 1,2,3,4,5,6 trans shift display.

It is still in the dealer today and they are unable to reproduce the engine stalling, wish they would tell me they are clueless, I could still drive my 55k truck.

I called Ford Customer Relation (800-312-3673) and reported the problem to them at least they have it on record to work on the issue. You can also send a message to Cory
who has been listening on these threads.

Ford Customer Relation told me someone will contact me in the next 2-days, hopefully they have the fix and not just borrow my truck for experimenting.

My 2011 has 26,000 miles and has had the engine stalling and tran slip sense it was new. The ford dealer that has done every service on this truck can't find the problem.

From previous communications, I have your truck’s information, so please let me know (via PM) if you would like me help with this. For me to do this, all you would need to include is your approximate mileage.

ville, thank you for sending me your information; you will be in good hands now that your concerns have been escalated.

TurboDiesel5, I can see why that would get a little nerve-racking. As ville stated, if you send me the info I mentioned earlier in the thread, I’ll help by escalating this for you.

Report from my last visit at North Bros. Ford trying to fix this engine stalling issue.

Terry at North Bros Ford in Westland, MI called me around 1:00pm 6/9/2011 and told me they could not reproduce the stalling engine issue, to come over and get your truck.

He asked me if I was a left foot braking driver and I said yes I am, having done road racing, fastest way to the brake pedal.

They could not reproduce the stalling engine in the 20miles of which the mechanic said he did, of which is a lie because my odo read 8.1 miles when I picked it up, I made sure I zeroed the odo before I took it in.

This is what was reported on the work sheet performed at North Bros. Ford
DD: DRIVEABILITY DIANOSTIC
CUSTOMER STATES THAT INTERMITTENLY WHEN ACCELERATE
FROM A STOP ENGINE HESITATES AND WILL NOT REV UP
INTERMITTENLY BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR
Work performed by JEFFREY SNYDER (010)
ROAD TESTED UNABLE TO VERIFY CONCERN CUST IS A 2 F
OOTED DRIVER AND IS POSSIBLY ACTIVATING THE BOA (B
RAKE OVER ACCELERATOR) FEATURE PER SSM 21769

As I stated before in the (2) dangerous instances where the stalling engine occurred
there is no way I would have hit the brake with my left foot while accelerating and I
know I did not, beside I will never hit the brake pedal and gas at the same time, why?

SO! I will keep driving my truck knowing I still have the engine stalling problem.
Someday down the road it will get fixed, I am positive!!!

Cory,
I sure hope Ford Engineers have a fix for this engine stalling problem,
otherwise we are in deep doo doo again and yes….
I am still a proud Ford Retired Employee that cares a lot.

In spite of this problem, I still love my new 2011 Ford F350 with the 6.7L

 

[Hdslider]

Thats great you keep track of mileage when drop off. i always keep that, idle hours and total hours. and trust me i have caught them lieing out there teeth. On one instant,when i dropped it off and then picked it up was told all sorts of crap. i then proceded to ask why did it idle for 5 hours and was drove a whopping .8tenths.

We shouldn't have to do this,but these days it is necesary.

 

[FordService]

ville,

Like Hdslider said, it’s good to keep track of that info before taking in your truck. Please keep me posted.

Report from my last visit at North Bros. Ford trying to fix this engine stalling issue.

Never have been a fan of North Bros. for service, especially when it comes to diesels, let alone anything else. You might want to give Wolverine in Dearborn a shot at it...

Cory,
Ford Customer relation called me today to talk about my engine stalling issue.
She told me that she has been in contact with North Bros Ford service manager and has the updated info of my truck engine stalling issue. I asked if she heard of my engine stalling issue and said not really, so I must be the first person to report it. She told me there was no open recall on this issued. She suggested I return to North Bros. Ford and they would put in a “VDR” monitor in my truck to try to record the engine stalling. I told her no it’s not for me to do the experimenting and testing for the dealer or Ford Motor. She is to call me back when there is a fix for my engine stalling issue and apparently the case is closed for now.

Let me know if you hear of any fix or tsb in the near future for my engine stalling issue.
Thanks for listening.

Ok guys (and gals), I don't know if this is going to fix everyone's issues or even fix my issue, but after taking the truck to the dealership and with a little harassment, their master diesel tech has decided that the stalling/acceleration issue is related to the accelerator assembly. According to them it was not communicating throttle position to the computer properly, thus if this were the case it could very well explain some of the crazy shifting and stalling issues. They are replacing the entire assembly. I am not sure how they came to this conclusion, I wasn't able to speak with the tech, I only was able to speak to the service writer. If there is bad communication of pedal position, neither the engine or the transmission will be able to respond to driver input. In a way this makes sense, but I feel like the tech is desperate to find a solution and is thus replacing parts in an attempt to track down the problem. I was lucky, they were unable to deny it was happening because they were right there when it happened! When it happened to me I instantly thought limp mode, but it wasn't, the truck was just not responding to the throttle input at all!

Thank you for posting that update. Please keep us in the loop with any new details.

TurboDiesel5, I’m glad they’re working to get your issues resolved. Please message me if you would like any help with the concerns.

[Hdslider]

ville. It is a very good thing to let them put the VDR recorder in your truck.All you do is tap the button when it screws up. they will like 3 to 4 recordings,if possible. If dealer can't visually see concern,they will send data to Ford enginering.. Best method to find concern. but not doing anything won't get you anywhere.

 

[ville]

HDslider,
In my case I already explained to Ford Engineers the engine stalling issue with my truck, recording it would only prove what I explained to them. Believe me they are working hard on the issue as I write this and I am confident they will come up with a recall or a fix for this stalling issue. The new Ford Company really cares about their customers they have worked really hard the past 4-5 years to be no.1 Quality improvement has been their top priority. I worked 39 years with Ford Motor and I am still bleeding FORD blue.

 

[TurboDiesel5]

Ville,
Did you happen to see my post about the defective accelerator assembly? Who knows, may be the reason all of our trucks are acting up.

 

[ville]

TurboDiesel5,
Yes saw your post, interesting! Let us know if it takes care of your issue.

 

[rgreentmcs]

I know this is an old issue but my truck (2011 F350 4X4 CC SRW 6.7) hesitated on a left turn last night. I was turning left at a traffic light at a fairly low speed and it just lost power. I pumped the accelorator and the power came back. I did a search but didn't find much except others have had the problem. Has there been a resolution on the problem?

 

[jdafonte]

Has anyone come to a fix for this. I have a 2014 F250 and while driving I loose all acceleration. I have to let of the throttle to regain acceleration. This happens almost every day 5 time or more during a 30 minute commute. When I tow my boat it is worse.

So far the dealer has down the following

1st visit : re flash
2nd visit: unable to reproduce
3rd visit: unable to reproduce and sent home with recorder( dont really believe they drove it as there was only 5 miles difference when i dropped truck off.
4th visit: return truck two days after 3rd visit with records, sr. mech was able to reproduce the issue with me in the veh. Replaced MAF
5th visit: Dealer said Ford Engineer came down and drove the truck with computer connect and said had to replace some braking sensor since they see the computer saying brake is being applied.


I am getting extremely frustrated as this has been going on since 13k (now at 20k) and this is a major safety issue.

That makes sense since our trucks have a "brake over throtle" feature.

 

[jdafonte]

That makes sense since our trucks have a "brake over throttle" feature.

I seen some things posted on this and read about it. Is this a sensor?

 

[jimmy]

IT means that if the input for brakes applied from master cylinder is present when throttle is applied the engine control module will not perform any engine fueling beyond idling.
IF you are absolutely sure you aren't two foot driving then the master cylinder pressure switch is faulty or there is an issue that is keeping some brake pressure in hydraulic circuit.

The Toyota purported runaway problem led to several manufacturers doing stuff like this.

Thanks for breaking it down for me. and YES I am 100% sure I'm not two foot driving. Everybody I tell this too thinks I am full of it, until they drive my truck and experience.
