I have 28,000 miles on my 2010 and have not had a single problem, but I do have this concern.

The last few times I started her up after a few days in the garage, it sputtered before it caught and idled OK. It has always fired right up even in the winter.

My first reaction was fouled plugs, but at only 28k? Is it worth pulling a plug to see? I gave it an "Italian tune-up" on my way in to work this morning and it will sit in my garage for a few days when I will try it again.

Has anyone had the same experience?

Thanks

 

Happened to me a month ago, but nothing ever came of it. It starts up fine now.

 

I think plugs and fuel filter are a good place to start

 

+1 I believe the owners manual recommends changing the fuel filter every 20k? It makes a difference!

 

Has happened to me a couple times since I got mine in January (22k miles now)...haven't worried about it.

 

Car is shot...done, end-of-life....box it up and send it to me!!!

 

The fuel filter will be the first thing!

Thanks all.

 

do the 10+ even have a fuel filter to replace? i was thinking i read somewhere that the new 09+ f150's have a lifetime fuel filter.

 

It could be the fuel filter, you may also want to check out the air filter too. You never really know. Just take it to a dealer and find out for real but play a hypothetical game with them.

 

Unless your dealer is 100% good, I wouldnt take it in unless it got worse or continues to happen. My car has never done this, but there are plenty of dealer horror stories out there. Dont mean to bring my problems up, but my car is at a stealership right now getting the rear end replace cause they effed up changing the pinion seal. It may be something very simple that you can do and not have to have a dealer look at. Like others suggested try things such as the fuel filter, but maybe you should also take a look at the plugs. Have you ever used any additives in the car such as octane booster? Also what grade fuel do you use?
