The 2012 Ford F-150 with a 3.7L engine has various issues, as Ford is jokingly said to stand for "Fix Or Repair Daily." Common problems include leaks in the passenger's side head gasket and engine oil pan gasket, a rough-running engine, ignition coil failure, rear sliding window defroster failure, and transmission shifting issues. One of the most serious issues is the gasket leaks. If you notice a low level of engine coolant, it could be a problem worth investigating, as driving with low coolant can lead to overheating and engine damage. Problems with shifting may start small but can escalate, so it's important to monitor transmission fluid levels and follow Ford's recommendation to replace it every approximately 40,000 miles.
In 2012, the Ford F-150 with a 3.7 L V6 engine was reported to have issues such as power loss during driving, failure of the throttle body, and engine stalling in wet conditions.
