My last F150 was an Ecoboost. As soon as the warranty went out, it started going through throttle body motors. Drive by wire. First one I paid $850.00 for the dealer to install. 80 miles from my destination in Midland, it stopped working. Could idle at 5 mph. I stopped the motor and it re-started. Went about 5 miles and it stopped working. Each time I re-started, the distance it would operate decreased. Finally got it towed to the dealer. The new one crapped out on the way home, but I managed to nurse it home. No warranty of course. So I bought a replacement, 10 minutes to put in the new throttle body. It went out in a couple of months. Had to replace it shortly. The next one went out as I started up the Corpus Christi Harbor Bridge in morning rush hour. 5 mph going up. Guy in a work truck got behind me with his flashing lights on up to the top. Coasted down at 20 mph, got off the highway, went to the dealer and bought another throttle body. Wife made me trade that truck in. Salesman was so happy to get it! It was loaded, and I got another F150 (Coyote motor) and I haven’t had any problems. Wonder if the new owner had problems, and if so, I hope he used the lemon law. There was a forum about Fords with throttle body problems.
Drive by wire is a bad idea. Can’t wait until all cars’ steering is drive by wire.
Sounds like you would rather push a Ford than drive a Chevy.
