My 2016 F150 2.7 also has it. I'm so used to it that when I drive my wife's 2012 Highlander, I keep waiting for it to shut off at the lights. I'm on the bigger F150 sites daily and have been since I had my 2012 F150, while I'm sure people have had starter issues or a turbo replaced, you'd have to search the archives to find it. Given the zillions of EcoBoost F150's running around out there now and the way people flock to a site to complain, I'd say that points to a non issue. I know personally of one early 2.7 that is approaching 500,000 miles. Original turbo's and starter.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
