2017 Ford F-150 Fuel System Problems

I had a check engine light come on for an oss sensor. Shortly after that started my truck would aggressively downshift to lower gears and lock up. I’m now having to replace the transmission.

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.

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. This is a safety issue as my vehicle slowed down and experienced significant power loss on the highway. FORD is aware of this problem with defective parts and has not issued a recall. FORD'S answer is have the entire intake manifold replaced at the owners cost.

Pressurized fuel line routed over the fuel tank started leaking. It is being repaired now. The shop doing the repair claims this is the third one this year. Fuel squirts out under the bed of the truck. I have a video of how it looks.

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. I would rather damage or destroy my engine in the process of safely exiting the roadway than come to an unexpected stop in an unsafe location.

My 2017 Ford F150 truck developed a fuel leak in the line between the gas tank and the engine. The leak is located at a disconnect fitting where the steel tubing from the tank transitions to nylon tubing. This presents a fire risk. The vehicle did not provide any warning messages. I discovered the leak after smelling fuel when parked after driving.

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. After exploring the internet for this same exact problem, I found this has been going on for more than 5 years. I now have the "corrected" part, but my major concern is that while I did not get into an accident this time, what is to prevent it from happening to someone who may not exhibit the same composure and causes their vehicle to crash into someone else and death or injury is caused and could have been prevented with a relatively cheap replacement part.

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. Ford attempted to fix with valve body replacement.

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.

Check engine light on error code P2007 Runner control was replaced via Ford OEM PART #FR3Z 9J559 C Ran well for 2 days then stopped working.

WHILE DRIVING IN LOCAL SHOPPING CENTER BETWEEN STORE #1 AND STORE #2 APPROXIMATELY DISTANCE OF 300 FEET, THE FRONT OF MY GAS TANK FELL TO THE PAVEMENT WHILE THE REAR OF THE TANK REMAINED. I CONTACTED THE FORD ROADSIDE SERVICE WHICH DISPATCHED A TOW VEHICLE THE TOW DRIVER WAS ABLE TO RAISE THE FRONT ENOUGH TO GET MY TRUCK ONTO THE TOW TRUCK. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED AT 5:15 PM ON 12/21/2019 TEMPERATURE AT 70 DEGREES.

IN MOTION THE THROTTLE BODY IS VERY SLOW IN RESPONDING TO COMMANDS GIVEN TO IT BY GAS PEDAL CAUSING UNSAFE DELAY IN ACCELERATION AND UNEXPECTED MINOR INCREASE IN SPEED IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC.

INTERMENT LOSS OF POWER FOR THREE TO FIVE SECONDS WHEN STARTING OUT. MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN OR STARTING OUT AT INTERSECTION IN TRAFFIC. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS APPEAR ON DASHBOARD. DIAGONASTICS DO NOT INDICATE CODE FOR THIS ISSUE. APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE ON SOCIAL MEDIA WITH THE 2.7 ECOBOOST W/6 SPEED TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (VONDERAU FORD, 1912 N MECHANIC ST, EL CAMPO, TX 77437) FOR THE FIRST OIL CHANGE, THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE OIL PAN LEAKED OIL. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE PLASTIC OIL PAN WAS CRACKED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,300.

VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 5000 MILES, AND EACH TIME I ENTER MY GARAGE I SMELL GASOLINE. IT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE "EASY FUEL" CAPLESS FUEL TANK FILLER. IT HAS NOT BEEN OVERFILLED, AND NO FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE CAP OR NEAR IT IN THE BOTTOM. SEEMS LIKE GAS VAPOR IS EXITING THROUGH THE CAP AND FILLING MY GARAGE WITH FUMES.
