“I have replaced spark plugs and coil packs due to code saying severe misfiring. However, the root cause of this is the continued open recall of the fuel pump. This has effected the way I can drive my vehicle on daily activities, such as going to work, doing family things, and other things while driving this truck.”
NHTSA complaint #11762449, filed 2026-09“For months have been having two issues with my 2021 F150 Powerboost with the CO2 sensors as well as an issue with the Exhaust Heat Exchanger Bypass Valve A. Which after my bumper to bumper warranty expired now needs replaced even though the same issues have been throwing a CEL for months”
NHTSA complaint #11515863, filed 2023-04“On July 15, 2026, I took the vehicle to Lafontaine Ford for maintenance and to address open recalls.

Sometimes this happens while trying to accelerate on the on-ramp of a highway to get up to normal piste speed limits with traffic very fast behind me. The dealer I took it to said they fixed the issues. …”
NHTSA complaint #11636197, filed 2025-01“After a right turn in a residential street, I pressed the accelerator to progress on the roadway. The truck did not accelerate, so I looked at the tachometer and observed it above 0 and below 1,000 rpm. The engine was running, but unresponsive despite pumping the accelerator. While rolling at 5 mph I shifted the transmission to neutral and continued pumping the accelerator. There was no response for the next 200'. Finally, the engine became responsive and ran normally. It runs normally now. I cannot reproduce this issue. …”
