Owner reports

Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2017 Ford F-150 owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).

The contact owns a 2017 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at 45 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was then towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000. Consumer would like to cancel the complaint in having a second opinion, fuel tank collapsing was inaccurate.

While traveling down the interstate at the posted speed limit of 70 MPH in the fast lane, I experienced the vehicle immediately hesitating without pressing the brake and a loud grinding noise in the front drivers side and caused me to put on my brakes, change lanes and drive off to the side of the road. The grinding stopped and then it happened again about 20 more miles down the road. I was able to get it to the Ford dealership and was told it was a defective IWE Check Valve which attempted to put my vehicle into 4 Wheel Drive. As a result, I had to replace the Front IWE and the new & improved IWE Check Valve which was designed to prevent this from happening in the future. For obvious reasons, I became upset that a known issue with defective IWE check valves causes this event to occur. …

The 5.0L Ford F-150 Engine experienced a P2005 :Manifold Runner Control Stuck Open Bank 2. This code triggers when the powertrain control module (PCM) can't control the intake manifold runner as requested . It also experienced a P2007 This code may be set due to a bad intake manifold runner solenoid or actuator with a mechanical failure within the intake manifold runner system. symptoms included poor engine performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and engine surge. It also has a P2019 DTC CODE related to the intake manifold flow control valve/position sensor, also called known as a IMRC valve/sensor (typically located at one end of the intake manifold) which helps the vehicle's PCM control the amount of air being allowed into the engine at various RPMs. This code is set for Bank 2 errors. …

Purchased CPO Ford F150 in 2000 to replace Explorer in MA. Used 4 wheel drive in winter the past two seasons to learn after spending over $1000 and driving a vehicle with reduced MPG due to a known TSP 24-2188 that this is a defect that affects fuel efficiency by close to six miles per gallon. Called Balise Ford after learning updated TSB requires flashing of the onboard TCCM. They would not touch it without charging me. Why can a manufacturer design a flawed system that affects the MPG without providing a free fix? So now I drive a vehicle with a defect grinding metal to metal reducing fuel efficiency by 30% that will require all new parts to replace the parts I replaced in January 2025 for almost $1000 when and if I can ever afford to bring to a FORD dealership to have the TSB corrected at my expense. …

There was an unknown problem with a fuel injector that resulted in the a vapor lock of the engine. This incident happened in traffic while idling at a stop light. There was zero stress on the engine at the time of the incident. This was a busy intersection, and I could have been pushed into oncoming traffic. There were no warning lights(check engine or otherwise) indicating and engine related failure or that an issue could be present in the fuel or engine systems. Upon trying to restart after what appeared to be a simple stall out, all indicator lights were on and every warning possible was present My local service center reviewed the truck and did confirm the resulting issues. They have also advised they would have expected such issues to trigger a warning light. …

I was driving at highway speeds (60mph) in congested traffic on a road with a steep incline with no shoulder when the truck suddenly went into limp mode when it downshifted. The engine went to idle and I had to coast to the far edge of the right line before coming to a stop. Multiple cars around me had to take evasive action. This could have been catastrophic if I had been crossing an intersection. Similar reports online indicates issue with the Electronic Throttle Body which creates an error that causes the truck to go into limp mode. Turning the truck off and back on again reset the condition so I could safely pull off to a side road to further evaluate. The limp mode feature is entirely unsafe and places the safety of the vehicle's mechanical components over the safety of the occupants. …

Yesterday evening, 8/13/2022, I had my family in the F150 TRUCK. We were traveling at 77 mph (in a 70 mph zone) on toll route 576 enroute to Pittsburgh Airport. The F150 TRUCK was on cruise control (this time) when it downshifted from 10th gear to 1st gear. My neck is very sore, now. It continued to mis-shift although no service light illuminated this time. The milage during this incident was 53,809.3 (give or take a mile or two, I don't take pictures when at the wheel of F150 TRUCK) All my family was traumatized again. The truck made it to the airport. Where we picked up our foreign exchange student from Japan named Jua. The ride home, I white knuckled the steering wheel, not knowing when we would go out of control. The truck made it home without causing death to our family or innocent civilians. This is the second time this has occurred. …

My truck dies for no reason when in park, or drive going very slowly. My vehicle is available for inspection if desired. This is very dangerous to have a running vehicle die when driving, or stopped at a red light. This has happened multiple times. I usually know when it's about to happen because my vehicle shakes, sometimes very hard, right before it happens. The dealership has stated that it will be expensive to diagnose because it happens irregularly, and they have no idea what could be causing it. No warning lamps, engine light, or any messages prior to staling. However, as stated prior, sometimes the vehicle shakes just before stalling. My vehicle is a 2017, and this just began about seven months ago. I had just had the dealership put in a new transmission and water pump . It never happened prior to that service.

2017 Ford F150 with 2.7 Ecoboost Since Oct 2024 thru Present Error code P2450 with Check Engine Light Same issue with 2016 models and there are no recalls fore the 2017. WHY??? After vehicle sitting off fore shoot periot check light comes on with same error code Looks like your FIXD Sensor showed Engine Code P2450 on your 2017 Ford F-150 Definition: Evaporative Emission System Switching Valve Performance About Engine Code P2450 Indicates a malfunction with the evaporative emission system switching valve, specifically its performance or operation, which may lead to incorrect fuel vapor management within the EVAP system.

Incident x2: When coming to a stop after towing, once on the off ramp and the other at the gas station, the truck died/stopped running and would not stay started when trying to restart. Both times, the gas tank was at 50 miles to empty, and while in tow mode, towing a camper trailer. First time we had it towed to dealer, they found nothing wrong, no faulty codes. Second time, after fueling, started the truck and pressed the gas pedal for about 10-15 seconds to RPM at 4000 then let off gas and truck stayed running. Seems something in the gas line, tank or computer system. Does not happen when not towing.
