2013 Ford F-150 Engine cooling Problems

“Vehicle went in for service, issue with engine stutter, dealership did PCM re-flash and updated computer program for vehicle. When I went to pick up noticed A/C fan running at high speed and not cycling off. Dealership kept for two more days only to tell me it new procedure in programming. When ambient temp outside is about 93 or above, A/C fan kicks into high speed and stays on because of high head pressure on the A/C compressor. The problem is that it sometimes never goes off while you are driving. …”

“On friday morning, may 2, 2013 I pickedup my f150 from the dealer service department after they claimed that the problem was isolated and fixed. I drove to work without any problems, however, in the afternoon on my way home the vehicle stalled and cut off on me. This happened when I accelerated to pass another vehicle. I was lucky to get to the center turning lane and make across to a parking lot without incident. This is the third time this vehicle stalls on me, twice while driving, and have been towed to the dealer four times because of this issue. …”

“I was at a complete stop on a main street making a left turn. Traffic was coming in the opposite direction and I was waiting for clearing within the traffic in order to make my left turn. There was an opening in traffic and I stepped on the gas to accelerate across the lane. As I stepped on the gas a message on my dashboard came on stating low oil pressure and the vehicle completed stalled. I completely lost all power on the engine and also the steering wheel. The vehicle drifted across the busy lane and barely made it across the lane as traffic was coming directly towards me. …”

“I was entering a shared merge lane and attempted to accelerate into the travel lane on my left. It was rainy and I attempted to accelerate briskly. The truck shuddered sharply, lost power and went into limp home mode. Several vehicles had to move sharply to avoid me as I returned to the merge lane. The vehicle returned to normal within minutes. This has happened three times since. Always rain and brisk acceleration. The dealership could not see a diagnosis from the computer. They were aware of the problem, said I was current with the service bulletins, and sent me on my way.”

“Engines runs rough especially at idle and other random times through the day. Coolant loss continuing from new in july 2013 to present day may 2014. Evidence of water in oil with milky residue in filler cap. No external leaks. Dealer and Ford say that coolant loss is normal and milky residue in engine oil is normal. Ford will not authorize any repairs.”
