Driving along I-15 in vegas. Ambient temp was 112 degrees F. Engine stopped, check engine light came on and a 'stop safely' indicator appeared. Had to have the truck towed from the interstate to a Ford dealership
In the second year of ownership I noticed that occasionally I would get no throttle response from the gas pedal when trying to accelerate. After several occurrences I began to pay close attention as to when this was occurring.
The contact owns a 2022 Ford F-150. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, there was an abnormal sound coming from the rear end of the vehicle. The contact stated that upon inspection, the contact became aware of fluid leaking from a crack in the exhaust system caused by rust.
on January 20, 2024 I serviced my F-150 due to a malfunction. The DTC code came back as P0A1E-00. This is for the Starter/Generator Control Module. The belt and starter were reaplaced. The code appeared again on 12/21/24 2 times, 12/25/24, 12/26/24 2 times. I brought this back to the dealer on 12/19/2024. 12/26/2024, 12/27/2024.
After coasting or turning I lose all ability to accelerate for a short period of time. When trying to merge the truck fails to speed up causing a dangerous situation where traffic jams up behind you
