Hopefully I won't wear out my welcome here too quickly. But obviously there's a lot of discussion here about a couple of rather serious issues in the new trucks. There doesn't appear to be any debate that for the guys who are experiencing problems, the problems are very serious. But I love numbers and statistics, so I'm curious as to the percentage that are having issues.

So for those that would like to participate in the scientific study... vote in the poll as to whether you have had a serious problem or not. I don't mean minor nick-picky stuff, but honest-to-goodness real problems like the Ecoboost sudden lose of power and the 55mph shuddering, etc.

I'll leave the poll fairly generic and if you care to expound upon your problems, you can do so in a post.

Cheers.

 

Couldn't vote. No 6.2 option. But no problems so far. 38k miles.

 

so far so good. i love my truck.

 

Oops, sorry, didn't even think about the 6.2L. Don't think I can edit the poll now. But glad to hear your truck has been problem free.

 

I've had my Ecoboost for over 1.5 years and no issues yet.

 

Define "problem."

Some people's mountains are other people's mole hills. And vice versa.

For example, my brother would consider one sparkplug being rotated +/-0.024372772388 degrees than another from the factory to be a PROBLEM!!!

 

2011 eco Screw 49,678 miles lifetime mpg 20.3 no problems.

 

I had the CEL come on at about 2k miles, took it in to dealer and they had to change one O2 sensor and 4 injector's to get it right. Truck has almost 24k miles on it and no new problem's since. 5.0 engine

 

I would define a serious problem as something that caused severe driveability issues or a break down, or something that required multiple trips to the dealer to resolve, or is yet to be fixed by Ford.

So right now it looks like over 26% of Ecoboost and 20% of 5.0L owners have had serious problems. Those are bad odds. I think we need more data.

 

This is but a sliver of the total population. If 25% of these trucks were bad ford wouldn't be in business.
