Ford Customer Service
Brittany has helped me on several occasions. I want to thank her and Ammie for their dedicated service.
I have had more than my share of problems with my 2014 ecoboost that has had me reconsidering my purchase. First was the tranny growling then lack of power and then transmission not shifting right and last this p2112 code. Everytime she has got me in touch with the regional customer care at ford and they in return have called my dealership and made sure my concerns where addressed to my satisfaction. They have called me like clockwork to talk to me personally about my truck and I am grateful for their concern. My dealership Mel Hamilton Ford in Wichita, Ks has also done a fantastic job working with me and getting the job done.
This fall I will be purchasing another Ford F 150 ecoboost 2.7 and it wouldn't be happening except for Brittany and Aimmie.
So thanks Ford Customer Service for your dedication....

At 54,000 miles and haven't had a single problem with truck. Thats about 16,000 miles trouble free until yesterday and today. It threw the P2112 code once again going limp in traffic. I am so done with this truck. I can take a lot of things going wrong with a truck but dying is not a thing that I can or care to. Someone is going to get killed it is no different than GM's faulty ignition switch. Same scenario. Driving down road and die. How embarrassing.

Things to look for on your ecoboost problems:
1. Electronic throttle body is a common failure
2. Your spark plugs need changed every 30k miles and maintain .030 gap.
3. Intercooler weep hole - protects against condensate induced misfires

Hi new to the forum and this thread..
I have a 2013 F150 Ecoboost that is in the shop right now for its third throttle body and the second in 12 months. Ford definitely has an ongoing issue here. One thing I would strongly recommend to everyone that has had this issue is to file a complaint with the Department of Transportation (DOT). I have and also looked for similar complaints and could only find one other person that has filed withi DOT. I believe that this is a significant safety issue that Fore is not adequately addressing.
I asked the dealer to put me in touch with the Ford West Coast Service Manager and they directed me to Fords Customer Care Unit which only noted my complaint/issue and would not assist in making personal contact with the service manager. They pointed me back to the dealer who in turn acts like they do not know who this could possible be!
Sooo......Brittany how can you assist?
Ps. Any spelling or grammatical errors are solely due to high blood pressure.

ECOBOOST OWNERS EXPERIENCING ACCELERATION PROBLEMS MIGHT WANT TO READ THIS !!!
I have a 2011 F150 with a 3.5L ecoboost with 215,000Km's as of today. I wanted to share some of my engine problem experiences with everyone. Around 125,000Km's I started to notice low rpm shaking during acceleration or even when maintaining highway speeds. Then if got worst to the point where I would start to feel the odd misfire and eventually the engine went into "Limp Mode" and the check engine light came on. I started researching online and found others were finding hairline cracks in the ceramic part of the spark plug. Seeing how I was pretty much due for spark plugs I bought 6 new ones and sure enough while changing them I found one with the crack as was shown in the youtube video I watched. So great problem found, new plugs installed fixed right... well for now. I think it was around 10,000Km's later the truck starts missing again and I never did completely get rid of the shudder/shake during low rpm acceleration but it was much much better and less noticeable. So I start checking the plugs again and sure enough the same plug was cracked again? Now before everyone starts with the you over torqued it, I've been doing my own plugs for years without a problem lol that's not it. So I go buy another one and change it.. runs great again, cool. well I think around 40,000KM's again I start feeling misfires.. wtf so start checking plugs again. The one that was giving me problems was fine but a few others were starting to crack, some just starting small cracks and others worse. So I talk to the dealer and they suggest I change the coil packs and boots too. Well not at their prices lol, so I go online and order 6 new Ford spark plugs and coil packs for about 65% of the dealer cost and replace everything (THIS TIME I TIGHTEN THE GAP TO 0.028). Since then I have driven 40,000km's and haven't had another spark plug/ misfire problem, knock on wood. Shortly after that I started getting a code for one of my driver's upsteam oxygen sensor so I replaced both sides, I also needed a new starter had that done at the same time. So at this point the engine's running decent, no codes, no misfires but I can still feel a slight shimmy/shake at low rpm 6th gear acceleration. Oh well I guess that's just how it goes.
2 months ago I schedule an oil change. The next day I'm driving home from work (it's -15Cel) and I feel like the truck is struggling to accelerate and the check engine light comes on. When I get home I check the codes and I'm getting P0016 and P0299. I reset them and the truck drives fine for about 2 weeks and then on a mild day it starts doing it again, check engine light and the same codes again. So I'm looking under the hood for anything obvious, but see nothing out of the ordinary... so back to google to do some research. It was starting to look like a waste gate issue and I though I had it narrowed down to the waste gate solenoid which I read others claiming the same problem and it fixing it. My step father is a retired VW mechanic with experience working with turbos, he said they used to have trouble with the solenoids and try a drop of light oil and see it it helps. So I do and sure enough the problem seems to have disappeared and even in mild weather when it seemed to happen more often. So thinking that was the problem I order a new solenoid online for a cheap price. So its been 2 weeks since I oiled the solenoid and I am going to get the new one shortly and install it and the truck starts acting up again so the next day I get the solenoid and install it. But to my disappointment is doesn't fix the problem.. great so now what (its late into the evening by this point and its dark outside). So back to google and more research lol... I came across someone's comment to someone else about check all vacuum lines and hoses again closely for cracks and make sure they're properly seated and he made reference to some line always comes off... so the next day when its light outside I check things under the hood yet again. When you take the heat shield off the top of the engine there is a line on the driver's side that needs to be pushed slightly out of the way to remove the cover, well BE CAREFUL WHEN MOVING THIS LINE! I think this might be what that user was talking about because I noticed that the hose was halfway off the nipple and when I went to put it back on it slipped on with no resistance at all. I could put it off just as easy with just a thumb and finger and that is with the double hose clamp on it correctly? WTF? that's not right so I replaced the factory crap clamp with a regular garden hose clamp and Bob's your uncle my truck is running amazing now. I don't feel the low rpm shudder/shake anymore (oh by the way I didn't change my Air cooler or have the deflector installed or reflash my tranny or computer or drill the hole like others have). The truck feels and accelerates like it did when it was new. If I didn't get luck and find this irritating intermittent problem (thanks to the clues from other people as well) this could have been expensive to take to the dealership.
If other's are experiencing similar problems I hope this information will be helpful for you as well.
