Description of the problem | This f-150 pick up truck was purchased in april 2010 as new. Everything was ok until april 2012. The truck stalled without warning when it slowed down or made turns. The engine died and no power, no steering. I was able to restart it and sent the truck to the dealer shop right away. On the way to the dealer, it stalled couple of more times. Luckily, no other cars were behind, otherwise i could not imagine what would happen. The dealer could not duplicate the problem or get a code. I checked online and noticed many 2010 f150 owners had same problems. Some of people mentioned to change throttle body, so i told the dealer shop and got throttle body changed. During the next 2 months, it did not happen again. However, on july 5th 2012, it stalled again when i made turns in the local. I sent the truck back to the dealer shop again and they still did not know how to fix the problem, since it happened intermittent. Now i am afraid of driving my truck. Absolutely no drive on highways. The people have already complained the 2010 model that the trucks stalled on the highway at >65 mph. It is a severe safety issue. I am very frustrated since the truck is not living to what it is suppose to be. |
